Boil water advisory still on for some residents

Ken Alexander Free Press

The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) issued a boil water advisory for a portion of the Horse Lake Water System on Oct. 28. This advisory is expected to be in place until next week because testing is ongoing. The Boil Water Notice (BWN) is for a portion of the Horse Lake Water System, Operating Permit Number 004089, and should be considered by everyone who lives from 6343 Mulligan Rd. to the east end of Mulligan Road and all of Granberg and Wolfe roads using water from the system, according to a CRD press release. All other users on the system are not affected. The BWN was issued because of a contamination of the system by total coliforms; therefore, all users of the Horse Lake water system are being asked to boil water for a minimum of one minute before drinking, cooking (if not boiled), brushing teeth, washing dishes, washing fruits and vegetables to be eaten raw and watering animals. On Oct. 29, Mitch Minchau, CRD Environment Services Department manager, said the regional district has to ensure the safety of its water systems, so they get sampled once a month to determine the bacteria levels.

Funding sought to benefit seniors District supports Age-Friendly Initiative, pursuing funds for 2016 Gaven Crites Free Press

Another step to making this area a Rural Age Friendly Community was taken by the District of 100 Mile House at the Oct. 27 council meeting, as the South Cariboo AgeFriendly Initiative (SCAFI) is seeking government support to fund its ongoing programs through 2016. The SCAFI works towards making 100 Mile House and area more accessible to seniors by helping improve things, such as transportation, housing and networking.

“That network of support 100 Mile Community Hall on that’s built is hugely important, Oct. 23. especially in a small A resolution was carrural community ried at the District of where we may not have 100 Mile House regular as many resources as council meeting on Oct. other communities,” 27 to support the SCAFI says Lea Smirfitt, steering committee’s SCAFI community coapplication for funding ordinator. for the 2016 fiscal year, A recent examan essential step in the LEA ple of the need and grant process.

The program is funded by the government of British Columbia, and local non-profit organizations provide the services needed. “We’re trying to lay the groundwork so we can attract that funding in the community,” says Smirfitt.

LIGHT UP THE HALLOWEEN NIGHT

COUNCIL THANKED South Cariboo Age Friendly Initiative steering committee representative Gayle Dunsmuir recently presented the District of 100 Mile House council with a framed copy of the resolution that demonstrated the District’s commitment to being recognized as an Age Friendly Rural Community. Dunsmuir expressed gratitude of the steering committee to council for not only speaking to the issue of “age friendly” but also to “walking the walk” through its dedicated leadership and budget allocations to support the efforts of the committee.

Vicky MacIntosh enjoyed a sweet treat at the Cariboo Christian Life Fellowship “Light Up the Night event”, which saw close to 300 children and their moms and dads enjoying a fun night full of free hotdogs, coffee, hot chocolate and candy at the church in 108 Mile Ranch on Oct. 31.

Environmental rights debated

Carole Rooney Free Press

A provincial environmental bill of rights was among the successful resolutions debated at the recent Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference. It recognizes the right of every resident to live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, water and clean food and “vibrant” ecosystems. This would include provisions for public participation in any decision-making that impacts respect for the environment and access to environmental information, and it would provide access to justice when environmental rights are infringed, including protection for whistleblowers. The resolution passed by a small margin despite significant

opposition. 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall was among those who voted against the bill. However, Campsall says he doesn’t oppose the overall concept of the public’s right to a clean environment. The problem with the resolution is the ambiguous wording, which lacks the details he’d need to support it, he explains. “It became really clear in the discussion that it needed more information. There was really a huge amount that we did not know about it.” Based on the comments made by various opponents, including Campsall, the debate was partly due to the term “vibrant ecosystems,” as what that really means was seen as potentially debatable down the road. “That’s the problem. When they open it up to interpretation, you are just asking for trouble.”

Campsall says he agrees with North Cowichan Councillor Al Siebring who pointed out the resolution is not going to prevent forest fires and create clean air. Asked if he agrees with Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb’s concern that the bill of rights will be “another nail in the coffin” for new resource projects, Campsall simply reiterates the issue for him is all about the lack of clarity. “I’m not making a decision based on only half the information ... you can’t go and play on the side of industry [either] and just say ‘we’re going to block this because it’s going to hurt industry’. Well, maybe industry is doing stuff wrong. But you have still got to ... have all the information before you make a decision.” However, the effort should be made to find a solution that does work, he adds.

“We have got to get everybody at the table and everybody working together. This is the biggest battle with a lot of the environmental issues we have – it’s one way or the other. Well, there has got to be a happy medium that does work for everybody.” While Cobb also objected to propaganda from the David Suzuki Foundation, Campsall says there are always a lot of spins, mistruths and politicking on both sides of the issues debated at the UBCM. The mayor adds he isn’t swayed by that, as he just searches for the facts before he judges or votes on anything. While this resolution passed and UBCM will now lobby to the province for action, Campsall notes resolutions that won’t work down the line are probably “a waste of time” because the province won’t go ahead with them anyway.

Parade and Service planning underway Preparations for the annual Remembrance Day Parade and Service in 100 Mile House on Nov. 11 are well underway, and all members of the community are invited to attend. However, there is one change for those who will be participating in the parade this year, as the muster-

ing point and time have changed. Marchers will gather at 10:15 a.m. behind the Red Coach Square Mall across from 100 Mile Elementary School. From there, they will march along Birch Avenue to the 100 Mile Community Hall, with the Remembrance

Day Service beginning at 10:55 a.m. Folks will want to arrive at the hall early so they can get a seat because the service always turns into a standingroom only affair. The service will be similar to what is has been in past years, with Eclectica Community Choir perform-

ing prior to the service. Legion Padre Gary Forsyth will be leading the prayers with a short sermon. Brian Beattie will serve as the service’s bugler, and Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA will also say a few words. Following the Laying of the Wreaths and the end of the service, hotdogs and hot

chocolate will be available for both children and adults. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #260-100 Mile House will be hosting an open house luncheon starting at noon. Children must be under direct supervision of an adult at all times from noon until closing.

DOROTHY JOINS AUDIT COUNCIL Dorothy Hartshorne, former 100 Mile House office assistant to Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA, has just been appointed to the Audit Council for the Auditor General for Local Government. She will be joined the five-member council, along with another new appointee Ernie Daykin who is a past mayor of Maple Ridge and currently the administrator for the Baptist Housing Society’s Maple Towers. Hartshorne is the cofounder of Hartshorne Enterprises Inc. and former co-owner/operator of Hartshorne Tree Service Ltd. She served as a councillor for the District of North Saanich from 1999 to 2005.

ARTISAN MArKET LIQUOR Just in time for the holiday season, British Columbia’s wine, beer and spirit producers will now be able to take their wares to artisanal markets throughout the province. Riding on the coattails of liquor sales at farmers’ markets – a popular change coming out of the Liquor Policy Review – government has opened up the option for liquor sales at regularly occurring and annual markets that focus on artisanal, handmade goods.

CRD working to resolve water issues

From A1

He added there are two levels the CRD measures for – total coliforms, which is general bacteria. “The way regulations work on those is if you get a count greater than 10, you should be into a boil water advisory. In this particular case, we had a count of 40.” Minchau explained the other measure they look for, which is more dangerous, is E. coli, which is associated with the intestinal tract of warm-blooded animals. “So that would be more of a concern and we didn’t get any of that.” He said the protocols are in place, so people are not being endangered. Noting there hasn’t been a boil water advisory on this system before, he added it has taken the CRD by surprise. “We don’t know

exactly what the problem is so investigations are ongoing to figure it out. We know something is going wrong and we have to fix it.” Noting he’s not sure what happened, Minchau said a number of things may have caused the high coliform count, including a bad protocol in taking the water sample if there was some sort of contamination introduced during the process. He added it could be some dirt in the water mains. “We did do some construction up in that area this year where we replaced the water mains, so during construction they may have left some dirt in the system.” Minchau says the regional district will do some more flushing of the water system to see if there’s something in it that has to come out. “We’ll do some extra chlorination on the

system to kill anything that may be there. Once we’ve added extra chlorine and done some flushing, we will begin a resampling protocol.” He added resampling was slated for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week. “You want consecutive results coming back saying there’s no problem.” The CRD has contacted Interior Health Authority (IHA) to request its co-operation

in investigating this matter. This boil water advisory will remain in effect unless, and until, another public notice is issued upon the order of a Drinking Water Officer advising that the notice has been amended or may be rescinded. Folks who have questions can contact the CRD environmental services department at 1-800-665-1636, or 250-392-3351, or IHA at 250-302-5000.

between planning and action. However, she adds the organizations involved have much strength, including a history of collaboration and working together. The area has a “passionate, committed group of individuals and organizations focused on making a positive difference,” she explains. Lea Smirfitt, also a member of the steering committee, says another strength is “a community working together to improve

the health and wellbeing, safety and sense of belonging, for all residents of the South Cariboo.” A common theme that emerged from the day was how important it is for everyone to find ways to schedule collaboration and plan to meet with others, De Paoli says. “The only way to move forward and make systems work is to find ways to make collaboration work.” Fifty people participated in the day-long workshop, and De Paoli says the South Cariboo

is fortunate to have people who volunteer their time to make healthy communities. “For so many people to take a full day to talk about how we can work together is awesome.” The committee will now consolidate and summarize the information that was gathered, distribute it to those who attended and anyone else who is interested, and start to develop plans for the future, De Paoli adds. “We don’t want this to be a one-time thing. We need to look at

what structures we have that can take on this work.” This might take the form of isolating a major issue, such as transit, and tackling that, she says, adding the committee also hopes to identify things that can be done now to help families experiencing poverty. “We’re very hopeful that the result will be a plan that has specific actions and results, because we want to have positive changes and a healthy community. We’re all in this together.”

100 Mile House residents asked for input

District OCP update and Zoning Bylaw re-write nearing completion

Work on District of 100 Mile House’s Official Community Plan (OCP) Update and Zoning Bylaw Re-Write project is nearing completion. Since July, the District’s consultant, the Arlington Group, has been working on a comprehensive analysis of the issues facing 100 Mile House. Key areas of the OCP include updating the demographic picture of 100 Mile House, better integrating climate change objectives, and adding policy concerning community health, arts

and culture. The focus of the Zoning Bylaw update is easing the regulatory requirements and making the document more user-friendly. A workshop was held with council and senior staff on Oct. 26, followed by a meeting with the project’s advisory committee on Oct. 27. The Arlington Group will incorporate the results into the updated bylaws. A public Open House is planned for late November or early December. Public input will be sought on important topics, such as secondary suites, accessory dwellings (often referred to as carriage houses) and development permit areas along Highway 97 and for the downtown core. Other topics • Is the log construction theme an important brand for the District and should it be maintained along Highway 97 and for downtown

commercial buildings? • Medical marijuana production will also be a topic as senior governments have determined that the existing District prohibition on ALR land needs to be replaced with regulation. During the summer, public feedback from the District’s 50th Anniversary celebrations was helpful in shaping the direction of the project, says Arlington Group principal Graham Farstad. Community members re-affirmed support for the vision developed in 2014 that “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 goals associated with the vision were also confirmed. Age-Friendly survey In co-operation with the District, the South Cariboo Community Continued on A7

What made it so good was people received helpful information that really made a difference for them. “They got some tangible help and, secondly, I heard people really appreciated being able to visit with their neighbours and friends. There were some people who sat in the little cafe area for like four hours visiting with people they haven’t seen. That was huge.”

Survey response welcomed From A6

Planning Council (SCCPC) initiated a targeted Age-Friendly Survey. The survey was circulated at the South Cariboo Seniors Resource Fair on Oct. 23 and it was made available on the District website. The response

rate was very enthusiastic, says Farstad. Nearly 100 responses were received by the end of October. The results will be analyzed this week and used to update policies in the OCP. 100 Mile House was officially recognized as an Age-Friendly Community earlier

this year. The SCCPC has also prepared a housing survey designed to assess housing needs. Watch the 100 Mile House Free Press for more information and check the District’s website for project updates at http:// w w w.100mi lehous e. com/ocp-zoningupdate/.

Wear a poppy

s Remembrance Day approaches, Canadians and people all around the world wear a red felt poppy as a symbol of remembrance for those who gave their lives in the defence of freedom and to show respect to our veterans. As time passes and fewer veterans are with us, it becomes increasingly important to show we remember their sacrifice. It’s also a time to show respect for those who continue to fight in wars around the world. Canadians have a long-standing tradition of donning a red poppy during the remembrance period from the last Friday in October, which is the Tag Day for all Legions, until the end of the day on Remembrance Day (Nov. 11). The poppy is the international symbol of remembrance, and when we wear a poppy, we not only honour the war dead, but we also help provide financial assistance for our veterans and their families. Since 1921, the Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign has helped provide money for ex-service people in financial distress, as well as funding for medical appliances and research, home services, care facilities and numerous other purposes. All of the money collected during the 100 Mile House Poppy Campaign is used exclusively for helping our local veterans – both young and old. So, the more money we donate to the poppy canvassers or the poppy trays in area businesses, the more funding there is to help our current veterans and those who have come back from wars that are going on around the world today. There is some “poppy etiquette” to remember. The poppy should always be fastened on clothing on the wearer’s left-hand side, close the heart. This is also true when the weather is poor and outer garments are necessary. However, poppies should not be fastened on hats or other objects. While the poppy is normally removed at the end of the day on Nov. 11, many people now place their poppy at the base of the cenotaph at the end of the Remembrance Day ceremony as a sign of respect to veterans. The history of the poppy as an emblem of fallen soldiers is interesting. During the Napoleonic Wars, the poppy drew attention as the flower that bloomed over the graves of fallen soldiers. In the 20th century, the poppy again was widely noticed after soils in France and Belgium became rich in lime from rubble during the First World War. In 1915, John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Forces Artillery, wrote about this phenomenon in his famous poem, In Flanders Fields. Today, the Poppy Campaign is one of the Royal Canadian Legion’s most important programs with 18 million poppies and 70,000 wreaths, crosses and sprays being distributed across Canada and overseas annually. Please donate generously for a poppy today and wear it with pride in our honour of our fallen and our veterans who have come back from, or are still active, in wars around the world.

Creating jobs and growing exports

he importance of signing on to the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement cannot be overstated for its potential impact on our provincial economy and the jobs created for British Columbians because of it. This trade agreement between Canada and 11 other member countries is one of the largest and most comprehensive trade deals to ever be established. B.C. has long pressed the federal government for better access to Asia Pacific. We are pleased to have the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement, Canada’s first with an Asian trading partner, and now, through the TPP, better access to key markets in Japan and Southeast Asian trading partners – Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore. Being part of the TPP means that B.C.’s highquality goods and services will be on equal footing in a marketplace with 800 million people. B.C.’s key

striking a balance between protecting the supply management system and reaching a deal. We are pleased to hear that Canada has also announced four new programs to support supply managed producers throughout the period of TPP’s implementation. These programs include income protection for 10 years after TPP goes into effect, protection against reductions in quota value, a modernization program to help producers stay competitive and a marketing program to help producers promote their products. All of this is great news for B.C. and we’re committed to ensuring we seize the opportunities coming from this deal. I look forward to reviewing the TPP in more detail and sharing information on the expected benefits for British Columbians as it becomes available. Teresa Wat is the Minister of International Trade.

Tom Fletcher is wrong; Highway of Tears not a myth To the editor: Re: Myths of the Highway of Tears (B.C. Views, Page A9, Oct. 29). Tom Fletcher’s column triggered my memory of the dog whistle politics we saw in the recent federal election. The Highway of Tears is not a myth and using mythology in the title of that column is an insult to the hundreds of Aboriginal families that have lost loved ones as a result of many tragedies that have occurred on that road and across this country.

The identity politics of the outgoing prime minister were properly rewarded, and the party that showed Stephen Harper the door at 24 Sussex Drive has promised an inquiry into the disproportionate number of murders and disappearances that continues to occur in the Aboriginal population. It would be hoped an inquiry will begin to expose the depth and colour of systemic issues inherent in Canadian institutions that help perpetuate these tragedies, and

that the new federal government will commit to real solutions from its recommendations. The incoming prime minister has made further commitments to the 92 recommendations that came out of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) process. The TRC has helped many Canadians to understand the origins of deep-rooted problems faced by Aboriginal communities both on and off reserve, and to help them move Canadians individually and collectively to a reconciliation

Time to turn the clock back for a future

To the editor: In 2003, the Progressive Conservative party merged with the Canadian Alliance party to form the Conservative Party of Canada. Stephen Harper was elected as the leader and immediately radicalized the party to reflect his personal bigoted rightwing ideology. Harper’s so-called Conservative party should have been given a name that better reflected the dogma of the micro-managing despotic leader. Several descriptive names spring to

mind: the Aggressive Conservatives (his mean-spirited antagonism); the Depressive Conservatives (his endless talking points); the Excessive Conservatives (his endless concessions to corporations); the Unimpressive Conservatives (his string of budgetary deficits); the Oppressive Conservatives (his muzzling of federal scientists); the Possessive Conservatives (his assuming ownership of Canada); the Regressive Conservatives (his undermining of our democratic institutions);

and the Repressive Conservatives (his Robo-callers, Bill C-51 and the so-called Fair Elections Act). After the back-room boys and girls complete their mandatory period of navel-gazing, which is required after such a stunning defeat, they should turn the clock back for a future by rebranding themselves the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and then find a leader who will act accordingly. Lloyd Atkins Vernon

commitment. Those current and future problems will always be about the quality of the relationship between the First Nations people and the general non-native population. Improving the transportation options for people in the North is primary, but it does not solve the systemic problems that continue to poison opportunities for everyone to work together to end the (state of unease or generalized dissatisfaction with life) that has

dominated Aboriginal communities both on and off reserve. Reconciliation Canada (reconciliationcanada.ca) is a key agent of change in this space and is dedicated to building meaningful relationships where all Canadians achieve their full potential and shared prosperity. Getting informed is the first step. Stepping into this discourse is the next. I am stepping in.

Canada needs to step up

To the editor: In 2000, the world harnessed incredible energy to develop the Millennium Development Goals – time-limited targets for addressing extreme poverty, hunger, disease, lack of shelter, all while promoting gender equality, education, and environmental sustainability. In 2015 these goals are due for renewal. Over those 15 years, huge gains have been made in reducing extreme poverty and improving health and education worldwide; the gulf between the developed and developing worlds has never been so small. Despite all the negative press about the global economy aid continues to grow, reaching $135 billion in 2013, the highest level ever recorded. While the world musters the will to finally confront humanity’s oldest miseries, as in so

many other areas Canada fails to assume its global responsibility. While total world aid increased six per cent, Canada’s dropped 11 per cent and it is the lowest of all major donor nations despite an enviable economy. It is now barely half of what it was in 1987. As the new development goals

are crafted this year, we have a chance to change this shameful record and increased aid funding. It’s time Canada stood up in the world as a mature nation and assumed its responsibility towards the global poor.

To the editor: It is bogus to say that since the federal Liberals won the federal election that we now have Trudeaumania 2. It is more like Jean Chretien all over again. You can be sure that young Justin Trudeau will be following orders from Jean Chretien and Paul Martin. It’s unbelievable, but don’t

complain, that is what the majority of Canadian taxpayers voted for. Now that the federal government will be back into deficit Liberal budgets, do the same with your own personal budgets. If you cannot afford that new, car, what the heck, go buy it on credit. Joe Sawchuk Duncan

remier Christy Clark’s government has been steadily backed into a corner on its apparent deletion of e-mails involving sensitive government topics. A week-long barrage of accusations by the NDP Opposition peaked with their most damning evidence of a cover-up, in the long-running case of eight health researchers suspended or fired from drug approval studies. Most have been paid settlements or reinstated after the biggest personnel management blunder in memory. One researcher committed suicide. We are now into a second independent review of this tragic case, after an independent lawyer was unable to determine what went wrong because she couldn’t compel testimony or demand records. It is now in the hands of British Columbia’s new Ombudsperson, Jay Chalke, who has that authority. Everyone agrees the deputy health minister of the day, Graham Whitmarsh, was legally responsible for the decisions and records. Yet somehow the only record released to the NDP for the two-year

Protesters, pop stars and politicians can sound off as they like, but these hard decisions are made and carried out by wildlife experts working for or consulted by the province. The minister, in this case Forests Minister Steve Thomson, authorizes the use of helicopters and rifles and takes the political consequences. One can imagine the agonizing discussion that goes on behind the scenes, as provincial and First Nations wildlife experts watch caribou herds dwindle despite widespread habitat protection efforts. They not only make the technical call, they have to pull the trigger. Would wildlife biologists be able to provide frank advice for or against this decision if they knew their names and opinions could later be used in a political battle in the legislature and in the streets? No. Can you run a public service if everyone is subjected to the scrutiny that only politicians choose to endure? No. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

the province Donation from Price leaves community speechless WILLIAMS LAKE - Williams Lake Minor Hockey office administrator Pam Povelofskie can barely move around her office at the Cariboo Memorial Complex, and that suits her just fine. That’s after a massive shipment of hockey equipment arrived in Williams Lake last week, literally filling her office from wall to wall and floor to ceiling, courtesy of none other than Montreal Canadiens’ netminder and Anahim Lake's Carey Price. “It’s a good mess,” Povelofskie said. “I love it.” Price and CCM — his equipment provider — sent thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of goaltending equipment to the WLMHA, hockey sticks and gear to the Williams Lake KidSport chapter, the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District, Williams Lake Big Brothers Big Sisters and 15 more sets of gear split between the Tsilhqot’in Nation (TN), the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council (NSTC) and the Cariboo Chilcotin Tribal Council (CCTC). Povelofskie and the WLMHA were contacted by Carey’s dad, Jerry Price, who set up the donations, and said it was something his son wanted to do. Fire destroys popular highway truck stop SALMON ARM - The Skyline Truck Stop, a popular hub among locals and travellers alike, burned down Monday, Nov. 2. Upset by the loss, Malakwa Fire Chief Joanne Held called the business a local hub and respected employer. “It employed, at any given time, at least 10 residents of Malakwa , some of them who worked there almost 25 years or more,” said Held. Firefighters were called to the scene shortly after 9 a.m., with Malakwa firefighters arriving soon after. “A crew of mine was on scene by 9:29, and at that point there was already heavy black smoke emitting from the roof,” said Held, noting a call was immediately made for mutual aid from the Sicamous and Swansea Point fire departments. Held said she arrived on the scene about an hour later. Eyeing up the situation, she immediately ordered firefighters out of the building. At this point, it was evident the structure couldn’t be saved. The fire is believed to have been caused by a space heater in an office on the second floor.

1-800-222-TIPS Possible threats and mischief The 100 Mile House RCMP is currently investigating an incident that occurred in the Roe Lake area around 6 p.m. on Oct. 29. A logging outfit was working in the Judson/ Horse Lake roads area when a machine operator was approached by an unknown person who had his face covered and was believed to be brandishing a large knife, or possibly a machete. The person told the operator that the logging company was not welcome and it had better leave. Then the subject ran across the cut block to one of the work trucks and threw a burning object inside the vehicle. The machine operator was able to extinguish the object prior to it igniting the truck. There have been no further incidents reported to date of any similar occurrences. Police believed this to be a targeted incident and the general public is not at risk. 100 Mile House RCMP has received assistance from the Regional Serious Crime Section in Williams Lake with the investigation. Police are continuing to investigate and are asking anyone with information regarding this incident to contact the 100 Mile RCMP at 250395-2456 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (tips) or online at Crimestoppers.ca.

Starry Nights 3 more colourful than ever

Barbara Roden Free Press

Starry Nights, the biggest fundraiser of the year for the South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF), is back for its third year on Nov. 20, and will be more colourful than ever. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the same night as Moonlight Madness, and SCHF public relations and fundraiser director Brenda Devine is excited about the event. Choirs from local elementary schools will be providing entertainment, she says, adding thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be hot chocolate, cookies, and candy canes for everyone. The event starts at the 100 Mile District General Hospital at 6:25 p.m. and Starry Nights will shine when the lights are switched on at 7. Santa Claus and

the Grinch will also be paying a visit. The SCHF is inviting people to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;Health Stars,â&#x20AC;? with every donation of $50 meaning another star will be put up on the front of the hospital. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be illuminated by the light display, which will stay on until the new year. This year, the SCHF is trying to raise $20,000 for an electric imaging trauma stretcher. The state-of-the-art stretcher allows staff to do procedures such as X-rays with minimal movement and discomfort for the patient. It also enables the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weight to be calculated without having to move them, ensuring proper medication dosage. The stretcher will be the latest in a long line of projects that have been funded by the SCHF, which was

established in 2002 and has raised more than $2 million for health care in 100 Mile House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of the money raised has gone out of 100 Mile,â&#x20AC;? says Devine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of it stays here.â&#x20AC;? The money has been used to purchase equipment, fund the 100 Mile District Hospice and Palliative Care Society, decorate the lounge, provide Meals on Wheels and the community bus, and much more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a really good relationship with Interior Health, and work hand-in-hand with them to help the community. We have an aging population, and it gives people a sense of comfort to know they can stay in the community and receive the care they need. They can have a lot of confidence, living here.â&#x20AC;?

Honouring Those who served

Marg Huber found ways to support war effort

As a young girl Forest Grove lady helped veterans and continues today

By Doris E Rufli arg Huber was not old enough to join the Second World War. However, her uncle Bill Armstrong served as a Corporal in the Royal Canadian Air Force, while her father Frank Armstrong only made it as far as Winnipeg. Her grandfather John Armstrong joined the British forces in the Boer Wars while still living in England (Oldham/ Lancashire). He and his family subsequently immigrated to Canada in 1911 and settled in Saskatchewan. Despite her young age, Marg contrib-

uted to the war effort. In Grade 4, she and her classmates – mainly girls but some boys joined in – knitted squares that their mothers stitched together to make blankets. Those were then donated to the Red Cross. Marg also collected animal bones for glue at a nearby slaughterhouse and scrap metal for airplane manufacture. When she was 13 years old, Marg received an award for her endeavours, usually bestowed upon children during the Second World War. She also remembers visiting the meat market to procure ground beef with ration book coupons and meeting the brother of a neighbour who had been in a Japanese Prisoner of War camp. Marg says she recalls he looked like “paste” and took a long time to recover, but eventually married and had a family of his own. Her natural talent for, and love of, music was rewarded with piano lessons by a British organ teacher, who told her after just six

weeks’ training that all she now needed to do was practise. Marg’s first performance in public was at her piano teacher's interment, a full Legion funeral, as per his request. She was 16 years old. In 1973, Marg settled in her homestead along Bradley Creek, having moved to British Columbia in 1960. In 1977, she joined the Forest Grove Ladies Auxiliary (LA) of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 261 – the “extended arm” and support of the Legion. She faithfully carried out various duties, including president, secretary/ treasurer and being in charge of entertainment. She has also been playing the piano at the Forest Grove Elementary School for more than 30 years, performs with the Cariboo Cascade Ramblers and forms part of the Remembrance Day service in Legion Park. Doris E Rufli is the Forest Grove correspondent.

Canim Lake Band veterans honoured Band members remembered for their service to Canada and their people

Canim Lake Band members cherish their freedom today, and honour the memory of all their veterans and all they stood for. Morris Dixon Morris Dixon left his home at Lac la Hache for training in January 1941. When he was through his training, he was enlisted in the Canadian Army as a gunner. He was sent overseas to Europe going wherever he was posted. In 1943, he ended up in Sicily where eventually he was taken prisoner. He was a prisoner of war for 18 months in the prison camps, remaining there until the end of the war. Edward Dixon Sr. Edward Dixon Sr. received his consignment papers in the Live well. Enjoy life.

mail and travelled to Vernon in February 1941 to begin his training for the Army. His training also took him to Esquimalt and to Otter Point on Vancouver Island. He managed to pass the requirements for the artillery, and was enlisted as a gunner in the Canadian Army. Peter Christopher Peter Christopher served his country in two World Wars – the first in 1914-1918, and the second, 1939-1945. In the First World War, he was in active duty in the infantry, and in the Second World War, he was in the Army Reserves and was based in northern England.

Henry Bob Henry Bob served in the Army and had learned engineering skills. He helped to build bridges for the Army convoy that had to cross waterways on its way to the front lines. The bridges were important for the delivery of artillery supplies and equipment, for food, and for use by the Red Cross. It has been said that Henry, at times, walked ahead of those at the front line checking for land mines.

War Veteran a Canadian Council of the Blind member

By Judy Macdonald etty Officer 1st Class of the Royal Navy Combined Operations Denis Hubber, who is a Canadian Council of the Blind member, from Penticton was invited by the Canadian government and honoured to attend the 70th Anniversary of D-Day Ceremony in Normandy at the Juno Beach Centre in France on June 6, 2014. Denis joined the British Navy in June 1941 and served in the Second World War. He remained in service in Britain and then in Canada for more than 18 years. His son-in-law Christopher Dingwall from Brooks, Alberta was able to make the trip to France with Denis as his guide. Christopher and Denis found this seven-day trip to be quite a bonding experience. Denis said the ceremony and the trip was “very, very emotional.” They were flown to Vancouver, then to Ottawa and from there the Canadian Forces flew them to France with many other veterans. While in Ottawa, some Veterans were taken for a tour of the House of Commons and when they were in the Speakers Gallery, Denis was approached by then Defence Minister Peter McKay who asked to shake his hand and took a pin from his jacket and pinned it on Denis’ jacket. “With very little vision I could not see what the pin says, but I was honoured,” Denis said. On the day of the ceremony, the Veterans were led to their seats in the Juno Beach Centre, and along the side of the road, 10 or 12 deep was an overflow crown of French residents and

Canadian tourists who never stopped applauding the Veterans. There were many dignitaries in attendance, including Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Wales Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Prince William and

Catherine, French Republic President Francois Hollande, then Minister of Veterans Affairs Julian Fantino, then Prime Minister Steven Harper and United States President Barak Obama. One of Denis’ best memories of the ceremony was from President Obama, when

he walked to the stage to speak, he took the time to shake the hand of each Veteran before the dignitaries. Veterans received medals commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day landings from Basse-Normandie Regional Council and Normandie Memoire. The speeches were

translated to English where required and Denis was pleased to listened through head phones. Denis recently received a silver $10 commemorative D-Day coin in the mail as a memento. An article on the 70th Anniversary by Sharon Adams was printed in a Canadian Legion Magazine issue, which shows a picture of Denis Hubber with other veterans at the ceremony. This can be viewed at www.legionmagazine. com. The following is a quote by Denis from this article: ... But many dangers remained for the 14,500 Canadians who landed on D-Day. Denis Hubber of Penticton, B.C., was in the Royal Navy, aboard a lucky landing craft. “When the tide went out, on both sides of our big landing craft were these railway ties with mines on them. You could lean out and touch them.” Other craft did, and set off explosions. Denis is still a world traveler and turned 91

Understand the Dangers of Winter Activities Winter is a great time to get outdoors. The air is fresh and crisp and there is snow and ice-covered wonders hiding around every corner. It is important to understand, though, that with winter’s cold, come some basic risks that must be understood. Hypothermia. Hypothermia is caused by prolonged exposure to cold, is aggravated by wet, wind, exhaustion, dehydration and hunger. Wear layers so you can shed some if it gets warmer to avoid excess sweating and so you can bundle up again when it gets colder. Consider a windproof layer to keep that extra chill from settling in. Wear a hat to prevent heat loss. Warning signs of hypothermia include shivering (your body’s attempt to generate more internal heat),

numbness in fingers and toes (your body focusing heat on internal organs to protect them), lethargy, and shallow,

Santa Claus Parade looking for entries

Even the Grinch couldn’t steal this year’s Santa Parade Barbara Roden Free Press

The Grinch almost stole this year’s Santa Claus Parade, but thanks to the determination and hard work of local residents Kristy Anderson and Cheralyn Herrmann, the parade is going ahead at 6 p.m. on Nov. 20, in conjunction with Moonlight Madness and Starry Nights 3. In 2013, the two women had spoken about trying to stage the Western Week Parade, which had been cancelled due to lack of vol-

Heartland Law office.” Central GM has donated Santa’s sleigh, but the search is still on for a Mr. and Mrs. Claus to ride in it. Other entries have started to arrive, and the women are now working out details, such as insurance and a setup point. Al Roberts, who took on the Western Week Parade last year, won’t be doing it in 2016, so Anderson and Herrmann say they’ll probably take that on as well, and try to bring back the Street Fest. They’ve filled out the paperwork to form a nonprofit society, which will enable them to apply for grants to help put on future events. Anyone who’d like to donate to the 100 Mile Events and Festivals Society can contact them at the above e-mail address. As for the Grinch, he’s participating in the parade, rather than trying to steal it.

FAST bytes MOVEMBER GAME “Movember... A Night to Remember” is coming to the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Nov. 13. To raise funds and awareness for sensitive men's health issues, the 100 Mile House Wranglers will be accepting donations, and handing out fake moustaches, when the local hockey club hosts the Summerland Steam at 7 p.m.

Lee Machete, middle, and Patrick Walker, (9), led the Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School boys soccer team in a halftime cheer during a game against D.P. Todd Secondary School from Prince George at the North Central Zones championship in 100 Mile House on Oct. 30.

New beginning comes to an end

Coach praises PSO soccer players following North Central Zones in 100 Mile Gaven Crites Free Press

Boys soccer was revived at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School, and coach Sean Glanville was happy with the season overall, a building year for the local resurrected squad, which finished by hosting the North Central Zones, Oct. 30-31. “We had over 20 players come out for the team, and we knew this was a transition year for us, but we've laid the foundation for the following few years and are only losing one player to graduation,” the coach says, following losses to two Prince George schools in the three-team regional championship. “Our opponents' size and strength was very noticeable, so I hope by next year all the boys will be a little bigger, fitter and stronger and we will be more competitive.” Duchess Park Secondary School won 3-1 over DP Todd Secondary School in the finals and will represent the North Central Zone at provincials in Burnaby, Nov. 23-25.

Duchess Park was the clear favourite heading into the mini tournament and easily the best team in the north, says Glanville. But he figured PSO would be competitive with DP Todd, and PSO's 3-1 loss in Friday's game to DP Todd was their best game of the season. PSO defended well and battled down 1-0 late in the first half. In the second half, Patrick Walker made a great play, taking the ball about 30 yards down the field and finished nice and calm to tie the game 1-1 in the middle of the second half. "To be level with a perennial soccer power like DP Todd late in the game shows how far the boys have come.” DP Todd scored the winner on an own goal when a PSO defender went to clear the ball, but it veered into his own net. DP Todd added another to make the final 3-1. “Reid Davidson played well, Cameron Ardiel, Mason Sanders and Shawn Mason played great on the back-line and Lukas Waldner made some big saves in goal,” says the coach. "Shawn Mason had

never played defence, but played central defender both in the Kamloops games and at zones and was our hardest worker. He despises defence, but he's very valuable to us there." In the second game on Friday, against Duchess Park, the 100 Mile boys only had about a 45 minute break between games and were pretty exhausted. It showed early as Duchess was up 4-0 after 10 minutes. "The guys weren't ready to play at all, a lot of simple mistakes that led to goals early on,” Glanville explains. “I thought we were in for a very lopsided score, but the boys eventually woke up and played hard the rest of the way, eventually falling 8-0. Duchess Park has been beating teams by those types of scores all year, so I told the guys to keep their heads up.” Glanville adds, “The Duchess Park coach, Rob Lewis, commended our boys on how they battled right to the end and thought our goalie, Grade 9 student Hayden Prodnuk, made some outstanding saves.”

Redemption bout for “Heavy Hands”

Tomorrow night Ken “Heavy Hands” Huber seeks redemption from “The King”. Huber, a Kamloops-based amateur boxing champion by way of 100 Mile House, is stepping into the ring at the Cascades Casino in Langley in a main event rematch on Nov. 6, following his loss to Vancouver boxer Samuel “The King” Moses in Richmond on Oct. 3.

Moses and Huber are fighting for a Golden Gloves cruiserweight title at the event, dubbed “The Clash at Cascades”. Huber, the Combsport BC title holder at heavyweight and cruiserweight, was sluggish and overweight following a long lay off from the ring heading into his first bout

Ken Huber

with Moses, a top contender. A pre-fight medical examination revealed an irregular heart palpitation in Huber's chest. Huber, who runs the Kamloops Boxing Academy, admits he was nowhere near ready to fight, mentally or physically. He vowed to “make it right”, and a subsequent heart examination

cleared him to fight again. “I've never been so motivated to make something happen,” he says. “It's pretty exciting at the gym.” Huber, 31, is expecting to make his professional debut at a Combsport BC pro-am card at the end of January. “I'm going to make this right,” he says of the rematch. “And I'm going to leave Combsport on a high note and keep moving forward.”

JERSEY DAY Nov. 20 is Jersey Day in Canada to show love and support for sport by wearing a jersey, team or club uniform to school, work or play. The national event is part of the sixth annual RBC Sports Day in Canada on Nov. 21, presented by ParticipACTION, CBC and True Sport. This national celebration of sport, from grassroots to high-performance, is an opportunity for all Canadians to celebrate the power of sport to build community and get Canadians moving.

SKI SWAP 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.

Wranglers ride into first

Gaven Crites Free Press

It's all practice to the playoffs, as Wranglers coach Dale Hladun likes to repeat, and with a battered and depleted 14-man roster headed to Sicamous, it was expected to be one tough practice on the road on Nov. 3. It was, but 100 Mile House got by their division rival, 3-2, in overtime. The penalty kill sty-

mied the Eagles on all 10 of their attempts, veteran Brady Ward scored two goals in the second period, and veteran Michael Lynch scored the winner in extra time, and now, 100 Mile House, for the first time in its three-year history in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, is first place in the Doug Birks Division. They've won four straight and ten of their last 12. Back up goalie Adam Derochie stepped in for steadfast starter Zane

Steeves and made 38 saves for his third win of the season. Tavis Roch and Cole Zimmerman each picked up a pair of

DALE HLADUN

assists and Ryan Friesen and Jaydon Gilding both added one. After 18 games, the Wranglers and

Kamloops Storm have identical records, 13-40-1, and 27 points. The Wranglers beat Kamloops 4-1 in their only meeting so far this season, so the local team has the edge in the tiebreaker. Chase is third in the division with 21 points, Revelstoke fourth with 15 and Sicamous fifth with nine. Throughout the month of October, the Wranglers were on a tear, winning nine of 11 games, including two at home – 5-1 over the Fernie Ghostriders on Oct. 31 and 7-3 over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats on Oct. 30. They haven't lost at home in regulation time

yet this season. Hladun says their conditioning and physical play is wearing teams out. “It's a very confident room. I'm just in awe of how hard they work. They want to accomplish a win... to just see how they rise to the challenge of so much, like killing penalties and coming from behind, I'm in awe of the kids. I'm really proud of them.” “People are still looking at Osoyoos and Kamloops and all the fancy teams, but we're quietly right in there,” Hladun adds. “I'm excited about how we're going.” Continued on A22

Dull start to Tomahawks season

The Lac la Hache Tomahawks are 0-4 and last in the East Division to start the Central Interior Hockey League season, following two blowout losses to the Quesnel Kangaroos.

Lac la Hache coach Byron Louie admits it's been an early struggle, but he hopes to rebound against West Division teams, Prince Rupert (Nov. 7) and Terrace (Nov. 8), after a week off.

It’s Financial Literacy Month! This is why… · Financial vulnerability (having low, no or negative net worth) has reached record levels in Canada:

· One in six Canadian households have zero or negative net worth · Almost one in four households have no financial assets · Canadian household debt is the highest in the G7 at 164% of annual income · Household savings are at an historic low of 3.3% of annual income. Financial vulnerability affects Canadians at all income levels, but those living in poverty most of all, as many have no savings to fall back on in emergencies and no ability to cut back on expenditures to meet their basic needs. Many are also burdened by debts that make it increasingly difficult to cope. Source: www.prospercanada.org Need to know more? Email: lory@caribooliteracy.com

Ask an Expert:

Adding insulation can reduce energy costs by as much as 50 percent. Insulation can become damp and prove ineffective if installed improperly. Damp insulation also may contribute to mold growth and rot in the home’s framing. Older homes may be lacking adequate insulation around attics, crawl spaces, basements, heating and cooling ducts, and water pipes. Cover your water heater with an insulated water heater blanket so the heater retains more heat and consumes less energy to heat the water.

• Stay on top of your home. Much like older vehicles, older homes require a little extra TLC. Don’t allow your home to fall into disrepair. Even if your energy bills are not on the rise, inspect windows and doors to make sure they are closing tightly, as over time such seemingly minor problems can add up to substantial energy loss. Don’t forget to clean gutters and downspouts, removing debris that can add up and lead to water damage that may ultimately compromise the effectiveness of your home’s insulation.

Make older homes more energy efficient Older properties tend to have a sense of charm that newly built homes may lack. What older homes have in character they may lack in modern amenities. Fortunately, there are many ways for homeowners who love their older homes to keep that love going strong while making their homes more energy efficient. • Check for leaks and plug any you find. Homes may develop air leaks over time, and such leaks allow air to infiltrate the home. When that occurs, homeowners instinctively turn up the thermostat in winter to combat the cold air getting in. Rather than adjusting the temperature inside, fix any sources of air infiltration you find. Run your hand along doorways and windows to determine if any drafts are coming through. Older homes may also develop cracks in bricks, around the foundation and in siding or stucco. Seal any areas where you feel air infiltrating your home. • Add insulation. Many older homes are poorly insulated.

Event celebrated resiliency Please Remember Us

Barbara Roden Free Press

This year’s Take Back the Night Walk, which took place in 100 Mile House recently, was very well supported by the community. More than 125 people participated – the largest ever turnout for the event. “We’re pretty happy about the turnout, community spirit, and support,” says Sonja Ramsay, executive director of the 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre, which put on the event. Kalika Moody, Women’s Centre counsellor for the Stopping the Violence program, says feedback from attendees indicated this was the best walk yet. “We were so pleasantly surprised by the number of people who turned out: young and old, male and female.” Members of the 100 Mile House Wranglers were there, as well as representatives from the Canim Lake and Canoe Creek bands and

the Proud Parents for LGBT Youth, which supports lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth. Cariboo Regional District Directors Al Richmond and Margo Wagner participated, as did District of 100 Mile House Councillor Spence Henderson. The 25-minute walk took place on a beautiful night, and ended at the 100 Mile Community Hall with a candlelight ceremony that included supper and a number of speakers. One speaker was support worker Steve Neufeld who spoke about the importance of men being mentors to boys and telling them violence against women is wrong. Wagner talked about a personal traumatic experience and emphasized the importance of speaking out about trauma and breaking down the barriers surrounding it. Loretta Billy of the Canoe Creek Band spoke of a desire to change things for

women so they are no longer just a statistic, and an inspirational talk about forgiveness was given by Mary Thomas. The Baladi Babes Belly Dance Troupe performed at the event, and the community photography club, Women in Focus, took pictures. Chief Mike Archie and members of the Canim Lake Band performed the opening ceremony. “We felt there was a need to go beyond just having a walk,” says Moody. “We wanted to address resiliency and strength, and support generational and community healing.” She praises the many volunteers who helped make the evening such a success. “The whole event had a really good energy and it’s important that both genders come together to address these issues.”
