Changes for 2017 provincial election Ken Alexander Free Press
The B.C. Liberal government introduced Bill 42, Electoral Districts Act, last week to adopt the Electoral Boundaries Commission’s final report. When the act is passed, the new electoral map would see changes in 48 electoral districts for the 2017 provincial election. It maintains the number of electoral districts in rural and northern British Columbia, and creates two new districts in Surrey and Richmond/
New Westminster, The goal of last year’s province-wide consultation process, and the new changes to the Electoral District Act, was to ensure there is effective representation for British Columbians. The act also preserves current districts in the North, Cariboo-Thompson and Columbia-Kootenay regions to ensure citizens in less-densely populated – geographically large – districts can be effectively represented by their MLAs. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett’s electoral
district will be changing and she calls it a good decision. While she will still be covering close to the same geographical area – some 44,000 square kilometres, Barnett says she will be picking up around 3,000 new constituents – up to 33,000. The increase comes from taking in all of the Williams Lake population up to the airport in the north and includes 150 Mile House. Her new district will also take in all of Highway 97 from Williams Lake south to 85 Mile. “The boundary change [in the north] is a good move
because of the citizens who we are supposed to serve in that area do all of the business in Williams Lake ... and it’s convenient because I have an office in Williams Lake.” Barnett notes that she has worked with most of the new constituents all many years. “Because of where my office is [in Williams Lake], they come in and use my office, which is great because that is what it’s there for. “I doesn’t matter to me whose riding you’re in, because if you need help and we can help you, we’re going to help you.”
The disparity in education outcomes between First Nations students and non-First Nations students highlighted in a recent provincial report closely resemble local trends in School District #27 (SD27). An audit looking at whether the Ministry of Education met the provincial government’s commitment 10 years ago to close the gaps in graduation rates between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students by 2015 was released on Nov. 5. While the report showed the graduation gap has narrowed since the commitment 10 years ago, inequality persists around the province to this day. In 2005, the graduation rate for Aboriginal students was 49 per cent compared to 82 per cent for non-Aboriginal students. In 2014, the graduation rate for Aboriginal students climbed to 62 per cent, compared with 87 per cent for non-Aboriginal students. In SD27, the graduation rates in 2014 were similar: 66 per cent for Aboriginal students compared to 88 per cent for non-Aboriginal students. There are approximately 66,600 Aboriginal students in public and independent schools in British Columbia, close to 10.5 per cent of the total student population. SD27, which covers about two dozen schools in the Central Interior, serves approximately 1,400 Aboriginal students. SD27’s 22 per cent disparity between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal graduation Continued on A6

Funding a new elementary school in 100 Mile House has been a top priority of School District No. 27 for more than 10 years.
Making the most out of facilities Community leaders visit Neighbourhood Learning Centres in Revelstoke
Gaven Crites Free Press
Local school district trustees and politicians took a field trip to Revelstoke recently to learn about the innovative use of school facilities in that southeastern city of around 7,000 people, and how those lessons might be applied here one day should funding be approved to replace 100 Mile House Elementary School. A new elementary school in 100 Mile House has been a top priority of School District #27 (SD27) for more than 10 years. When Revelstoke constructed a new elementary school and high school in recent years, Revelstoke’s School District #19 partnered with their local government and the provincial government on the Neighbourhoods of Learning program, which
integrates regular school and community programs in existing school facilities, to share and maximize space and resources. “We had an opportunity to see how a community has really come together to provide services and have things in a way that is utilizing what is available in a community,” says SD27 chair Tanya Guenther who was part of the local group in Revelstoke. “There are some big differences between Revelstoke and the size of their school district and the size of ours, but I think there are still some great things we came away with that we can consider how to incorporate in our own district.” Neighbourhood Learning Centres could be in any school facility in the province. They are places where community groups and members can access education, recreation and cultural
services, such as meeting or storage space for community groups; an Aboriginal Friendship Centre and First Nations council space; early learning programs; preschool, child care and family programs; youth drop-in centres; summer programs; day camps; Boys and Girls Clubs; or an emergency services site. SD27 passed a motion in February that when approved by the Ministry of Education the new elementary school should be built on the now closed 100 Mile Junior Secondary School site. Guenther says SD27 feels it’s important to have good relationships with all stakeholders, including local governments. “In the past, the SD27 board has extended invitations to local government – City of Williams Lake, Cariboo Regional District (CRD) and District of 100
Mile House – to establish twice yearly meetings individually with each group. Revelstoke School District was able to share and use their relationships with their local partners, including local government.” Margo Wagner was the CRD representative in Revelstoke. The Director for Area H says she was really impressed with what she saw at both new facilities. The schools they toured included a daycare, after school care centre, an Interior Health office and Acrobat centre. “It was really refreshing to see multiple groups work together to achieve a phenomenal complex.” However, Wagner notes there are some tax base and geographic differences between the two school districts that pose a challenge in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. SD27 serves a large, diverse and mostly rural area with
many small communities located far apart, so funding and resources are spread thinner. “Is it doable within School District #27? Not to the extent they’ve done it [in Revelstoke]. But I think working together and bringing in some other partners is absolutely doable.” More collaboration will help “make the most out of every dollar,” Wagner adds. 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall says he was glad he also made the visit. He adds it demonstrated how school boards and municipal governments can work together to build a better community. “The partnership they’re doing in Revelstoke is quite interesting. We’re going to have to investigate what we can make work, what we can’t make work, and what’s working for us already. I believe there’s a lot more to dig into.”
Alleged shooter back in Supreme Court Defence and Crown lawyers discussed issues prior to the trial starting
Ken Alexander Free Press
Philip Thomas May of 100 Mile House made a Supreme Court appearance in Williams Lake on Nov. 9 for a pre-trial conference. This meeting allows all parties in the court proceedings to discuss issues important to the Crown prosecutor and the defence lawyer prior to the commencement of a trial. May is facing several charges, includ-
ing attempted murder, firearms, threats and motor vehicle offences, following a man-in-distress callout for 100 Mile House RCMP to a residence on the 93 Mile Loop Road on May 31, 2014. When police arrived at the scene, a 39-year-old 100 Mile House man had been shot and a suspect was identified. RCMP went to a Lone Butte residence, identified the suspect being in the home and surrounded it while waiting for backup.
The suspect bolted from the residence and raced away in a vehicle. During the get-away attempt and subsequent police chase, spike belts were deployed, but the suspect continued driving on four flat tires. Eventually, he was forced off the road and arrested. At the conclusion of the Nov. 9 hearing, it was determined May’s next court appearance in Williams Lake would be on Jan. 11, 2016 for jury selection.
CHAMBER HELPS PARADE
After hearing the event was going to be cancelled local residents Kristy Anderson and Cheralyn Herrmann jumped in as this year’s organizers for the annual Santa Claus Parade on Nov. 20 at 6 p.m. One of hurdles Anderson and Herrmann were facing was paying for insurance for the parade when they had so little time to raise funds for the event. We now have insurance, says Anderson. “Our insurance is being taken care of, and sponsored, by The South Cariboo Chamber Of Commerce, which is great,” says Anderson. “This was going to be one of the biggest obstacles for us and the Chamber has been so great in helping us out.” They are still looking for parade entries. People who want to jump on board with an entry just have to e-mail 100mile communityevents@ gmail.com, or pick one up at the Heartland Law office.
NEW BACKHOE District of 100 Mile House council authorized a budget amendment for the purchase of a new backhoe at its meeting on Oct. 27 to replace an existing unit. A tender was issued with a closing date of Oct.15. Of the five submissions received, Kamloops-based Wajax Equipment (JCB) was the lowest bid and was awarded the $104,948.90 contract. The budget for replacement of Unit 315 (backhoe) was $130,000.

Strong showing by cadets on Remembrance Day
Gaven Crites Free Press
Young local army cadets were an integral part of Remembrance Day ceremonies in 100 Mile House, Clinton and Forest Grove on Nov. 11. In 100 Mile House, the 2887 Rocky Mountain Rangers Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, which has close to 30 members, marched in the parade down Birch Avenue, stood by ceremonial guard at the cenotaph outside the community hall, and escorted wreath-layers inside during the large
annual ceremony. The R oy a l Canadian Cadets, a civilian volunteer organization supported by the Department of National Defence, aims to develop in youth the attributes of good citizenship and leadership, promote physical fitness and stimulate interest in the role of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), explains local Commanding Officer Capt. Dale Bachmier, who joined the cadets at age 12 before joining the CAF at 17 and serving for 23 years. Participating in
Remembrance Day is part of the citizenship and leadership component of the program, Bachmier explains, “showing the community that we are part of remembering.” It’s not just recognizing past sacrifices by this country’s veterans, but present and future sacrifices as well, as Canada is presently at war with terrorism, Bachmier adds. One hundred and fifty eight Canadian soldiers died in the Afghanistan mission, and CAF personnel and aircraft are currently deployed in Operation IMPACT,
part of a multinational coalition fighting the socalled Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. “Our main goal is to create and make good leaders and citizens of our up-and-coming adults,” says Bachmier of the cadets program, which is free for youth age 12 to 19. The local group, along with Merritt- and Lillooet-based cadets, recently spent four days at 19 Wing Comox on Vancouver Island, where they toured the Airforce base. Three local cadets have gone on to join the military in the last few
years, and they’re doing well, says Bachmier. “That’s pretty much due to the cadets. You get a very good insight into the military program. “When they join, they’ve already got background in drill, map and compass, teaching techniques and leadership.”
According to the organization’s website, army cadets get involved in ceremonial military events and citizenship activities to connect to their Canadian heritage. “Today, the Cadet Program continues to evolve and adapt to meet the expectations of our changing soci-
ety. With its emphasis on leadership, physical fitness and citizenship, the Canadian Cadet Program helps young Canadians to become active and engaged members of their communities today and prepares them to become the leaders of tomorrow.”

Post-Mortem Property Transfers
One of the classic lines from movies and television shows involving serious crime is that “dead men tell no tales.” Another thing that dead people don’t do is sign property transfers. One of the curious myths which seems to prevail in our society, however, is that if you don’t have a will, then everything will go to the government. That is only true if the deceased left no relatives. Lawyers (and others involved in estate planning) will tell you that leaving a valid will almost always simplifies the task for those you leave behind. As well as specifying who gets what, a proper will also designates someone to distribute your assets (and pay your debts) after you die. Can you do your own will? If your ideas on how to distribute your assets and your family structure are extremely simple, then you might be able to prepare a valid will on your own. The reality seems to be, however, that a clear majority of the wills prepared without the assistance of a lawyer or notary public are flawed. If you intend to disinherit a spouse or child, then you should discuss the matter with a lawyer because, in that event, it is very unlikely that a “simple” will can achieve your goal without exposing your family to the risk of costly court proceedings. On the topic of disinheriting a spouse or child, you should also note that leaving a small token gift to a spouse or child does not protect the will from attack under wills variation legislation. What if the deceased just never quite got around to doing a will - or didn’t think that one was needed? The Wills, Estates and Succession Act deals with this problem by allocating the assets of the deceased to family members. Contrary to popular opinion, the surviving spouse does not necessarily inherit everything in the absence of a will. If the deceased left a spouse and / or children, then assets will be divided amongst them according to rules contained in the legislation. In this regard, the rules are different for blended families with a smaller allocation being made to the surviving spouse in that situation. We all know that accepted “wisdom” is not always wise. Even so, it is usually a smart thing to do to get a will. Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E. Dent)

Be a flu fighter
A7
Protect yourself, your families and those around you In a typical influenza season, thousands of Canadians develop serious illness or even die from influenza or its complications. The flu shot is a safe and effective way to help people stay healthy, prevent illness and save lives. Getting a flu shot and washing your hands frequently are the two most effective ways to protect yourself and others from influenza and its complications. The flu shot provides protection from the influenza virus strains expected to be circulating this season based on trends worldwide. This year’s flu shot offers protection against two influenza A viruses (an H1N1 and an H3N2 virus) and one influenza B virus. For those under 18 years, the preferred vaccine also protects against an additional B influenza virus. The flu shot is free for those at risk of complications from influenza and those in contact with people at risk: • People 65 years and older and their caregivers/household contacts;
• People of any age in residential-care facilities; • Children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts; • Children and adolescents (six months to 18 years) with conditions treated for long periods of time with Aspirin (ASA) and their household contacts; • Children and adults who are morbidly obese; • Aboriginal people; • All children 6-59 months of age; • Household contacts and caregivers of infants and children up to 59 months old; • Pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy during the influenza season and their household contacts; • Visitors to hospitals, health centres and residential-care facilities; • People who work with live poultry; • Health-care and other care providers in facilities and community settings who are capable of transmitting influenza disease to those at high risk of influenza
complications; • People who provide care or service in potential outbreak settings housing high-risk persons; and • People who provide essential community services (first responders, corrections workers). IH holds public clinics for those who are eligible for the free flu shot, but remember to bring your Care Card. Clinics in the Free Press readership area include:

Shopping spree almost sold out Barbara Roden Free Press
Tickets for the Third Annual South Cariboo Lioness Club Shopping Spree are selling quickly, says club secretary Lydia Kendall. The winner receives a five-minute shopping spree at Save-On-Foods, worth $500. “We printed 300 tickets, and only have a couple of books left. We
did really well this year, and have had no trouble selling them.” Second prize is a $100 Save-On-Foods gift certificate, and the third prize is a handmade wooden flower container donated by local craftsman Joe St. Germain. The draw will be on Nov. 25, and the shopping spree takes place
on Dec. 2. “The winner has a week to plan their attack,” laughs Kendall. “One winner was a lady who really liked baking, so she knew exactly where she wanted to go and what to get. “We encourage people to come and watch. The spree takes place at 8:30 a.m., so it’s over before the store opens.
It’s lots of fun.” Tickets are $5 each, and can be purchased at Save-On-Foods and Cariboo Mall on Saturdays, or by calling Kendall at 250395-4135. Money raised by the sale of the tickets goes to benefit causes within the community, particularly to assist children with medical issues.

Conservation Officer Day proclaimed

very day, conservation officers around British Columbia are working hard to protect the environment and ensure public safety in challenging and often dangerous situations. This year marks the 110th anniversary of the B.C. Conservation Officer Service (COS). The inaugural Conservation Officer Day was proclaimed Nov. 4 in celebration of the anniversary. Eleven conservation officers received awards in recognition of their bravery, dedication and service. I am extremely proud of the hard work conservation officers (COs) do every day, and I know it is not easy. This anniversary is a chance to recognize and honour the dedicated men and women who make up the COS who every day go above and beyond their duties. The COS has grown

GUEST SHOT
ustin Trudeau made a lot of promises in the recent federal election campaign. He promised to change the way Ottawa runs the federal government – including regional representation, male-female parity in cabinet along with several socioeconomic and environmental considerations. Mr. Trudeau took the federal Liberals from a lowly third-place standing in the House of Commons and swept into first place on election night (Oct. 19); thereby knocking down the decade-long control of the federal Conservatives. He, and the national media, shined a light on the Tories and showed the electorate the Stephen Harper government as being divisive, controlling and arrogant. When he made his acceptance speech, Mr. Trudeau reiterated all of the promises he had made and he noted they would be made as quickly as possible. As the second youngest prime minister in recent Canadian history, he told us there would be a fresh face on the federal government and there would be a new approach to how business in Ottawa and across the country would be run. On Nov. 4, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet ministers were sworn into office and there was much jubilation, hope and a feeling that “life would get better for the Canadian people.” Well, that feeling will have to be tested during the new Prime Minister’s mandate; however, he showed right off the bat that things were, indeed, going to be changed. His cabinet was made up of an equal number of men and women – virtually killing a longstanding gripe that men dominated the powerful inner circle and especially galling as they controlled just about all of the power portfolios. Prime Minister Trudeau changed that aspect of the cabinet, too. Many women were appointed as ministers of some of the most powerful and important portfolios, and gone are the days of the “old boys” club. Mr. Trudeau also fulfilled his promise to make sure every region of the country and ethnic and socioeconomic stripes were well represented at the cabinet table. British Columbia, for example, has three cabinet ministers – Harjit Sajjan is the new Minister of Defence, Jody Wilson-Raybould is the Justice Minister and Attorney General, and Carla Qualtrough is the Minister for Sport and Persons with Disabilities. First Nations are pleased the Prime Minister’s plan to put a moratorium on oil tankers traffic on B.C.’s north coast until more study is done. Mr. Trudeau also announced the reinstatement of the long-form census after a 10-year absence. This will give the government an in-depth look at what is working well and what is needed for all Canadians. He’s off to a good start; we’ll see how it goes.

“We are the voice for wild things; wild things for which we love.” The role of a CO is a diverse and demanding one. Often, the public isn’t aware of the many different tasks a CO takes on. A CO could relocate a bear, track down a poacher and give a wilderness safety talk to students – all in the same shift. I am proud of the COs we have in our province, who are outside in the sun, rain, snow and sleet doing their best every day. I hold the B.C. COS in the highest esteem, and know that British Columbians join me in our appreciation of the integrity and values for which they serve the public. I urge you to take a moment to thank your local CO the next time you see them out in your community. Mary Polak is the Minister of Environment.

Fletcher taken to task for his column
To the editor: Re: Myths of the Highway of Tears by Tom Fletcher, Free Press, Nov. 5, page A9 Mr .Fletcher’s title for his piece sums his attitude up nicely. He has presented a line of flawed logic through a sequence of misdirection and distraction, liberally sprinkled with demeaning terms like “melodrama” and being sure to put “prostitution” and “aboriginal” in the same sentence. Mr. Fletcher dismisses a formal
inquiry by the Information and Privacy Commissioner that is a scathing report of the repeated offense of deleting and hiding e-mails. After initially testifying under oath that he did not engage in the practice of “triple deleting” e-mails, George Gretes ultimately admitted that he did, in fact, engage in this practice. From ‘Access Denied’ blithely telling us it just ain’t so, “since they were not deleted but rather
President Obama’s rejection of Keystone XL gives hope To the editor: American President Barack Obama’s rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline on the basis of its climate impacts gives hope for a new path forward in British Columbia. Obama has sent a clear message that you can’t be a climate leader and build pipelines – a message that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cannot ignore. Today’s (Nov. 6) rejection signals a growing recognition that tar sands pipelines are not inevitable and a clean energy economy is not just possible – it is already here. We can create more jobs and protect our environment by investing in clean energy and transitioning to a post-carbon economy.
Prime Minister Trudeau can demonstrate real climate leadership by implementing a legislated oil tanker ban for B.C.’s north coast that puts an end to Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal for once and for all. He can also show that leadership by fulfilling his campaign promise to overhaul the federal environmental review process such that the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal is considered on the basis of its climate impacts. It’s time for a new approach to pipelines in Canada that takes climate change seriously – because it’s 2015. Caitlyn Vernon Sierra Club B.C. campaigns director

If there are, it is inferred they should have taken the available bus services he describes, and not been too – what? lazy? stupid? to
conduct themselves in a safe manner and thus bring about their own fate of abuse, violence and death. This is the tactic of countless self-serving politicians, police, citizens, opinion-writers, and public servants to reduce this generation’s most glaring social and legal travesty to something as banal and irrelevant as inadequate transportation service as the core issue. Dissembling, fatuous commentary and demeaning language are tactics that seek to smother the real
narrative of our most shameful historic truth – that we are a country founded on and still continuing the attempted genocide of a people, and the destruction of so many cultures and sovereign nations that we don’t even know how many there are, or what they are called.

Premier Christy Clark’s denial reveals her ineptitude To the editor: Premier Christy Clark says she was unaware members in her administration, including her deputy chief of staff, were triple deleting government emails (no doubt in an effort to prevent public scrutiny). If her denial is not an outright lie, then it reveals she is an incompetent premier and should never have been entrusted with the welfare of our province. Would you buy a used car from Clark? No doubt she would smile coyly and insist the vehicle had only been driven 19,000 kilometres even if the odometer indicated 119,000. She would say the liquid under the car was condensation from the
air conditioner when it was obvious the radiator was leaking. She would state the vehicle was one of the safest, even if the Consumers Report crashworthiness tests rated it one of the worst.
If Ms. Clark was selling something I wanted, I wouldn’t touch it with a 10-foot pole. Lloyd Atkins Vernon

he B.C. Liberal government declared the first Conservation Officer Day on Nov. 4, to recognize the 110-year history of the service that started out as mostly volunteer “game wardens.” This is overdue recognition for what is essentially a police force that only receives public notice when a bear or cougar has to be killed to protect people. The ceremony at the British Columbia legislature included awards. Chief Conservation Officer Doug Forsdick presented long-service medals and two commendations for lifesaving. One was to CO Jason Hawkes, who rescued a family of four from their sinking boat on Kootenay Lake last June. He reached them in rough, windy conditions when they were waist-deep in water, far from shore. The other went to CO Andrew Anaka, for rescuing an angler from an overturned boat, whom he found “extremely hypothermic” at the base of a cliff at a lake near Powell River on Jan. 22.

called “religious zeal” for privatization. The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement. This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working. The CO service also works on cases, such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime, and an intelligence analyst. In short, they’re real cops, working with a group of about 150 compliance officers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. They don’t get much respect from an urban public informed by celebrity wildlife protesters, such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais.

Extremely rare identical triplets arrive SALMON ARM - Salmon Arm's Mahalia and Mike Meeuwsen are now the proud parents of three identical triplet girls, which doctors say only happens once in every 50 million births. The three babies were delivered, Nov. 3, by C-section at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. While doctors were hoping to do a C-section Nov. 16, complications with the pregnancy resulted in the decision to proceed with the delivery. The triplets were conceived naturally without the use of fertility drugs. Mom and all three babies, who were born at approximately eight weeks premature, are all said to be doing well. The three premature infants are being cared for in the neo-natal intensive care unit and will likely remain there for some time.
Two more months in jail for rapes in early 1980s KAMLOOPS - A judge has ordered a man in his 40s to serve two months behind bars for a series of heinous rapes of pre-teen girls dating back to the early 1980s. The man was convicted following a trial earlier this year. Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, he cannot be named because he was 14 at the time of the offences. All of the incidents took place on the T’it’q’et Reserve in Lillooet in the first six months of 1983. The two victims were foster children, aged five and eight, taken in by the rapist’s family. During the trial, one of the victims testified the rapes “happened all the time.” In one case, the attacker raped the five-year-old victim inside a Lillooet pre-school. In another, the attacker hid the same victim under his mattress when his mother came into his bedroom, then proceeded to continue to rape her after his mother left. In his sentencing decision, Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison noted the attacker went on to lead a successful and normal life. He has no other criminal record and is married with two adult children. Harrison said the attacker has continually denied responsibility for the rapes. The attacker’s brother was also convicted of sexual assault relating to a separate incident in 1987. He did not receive jail time.

Recent break-in costly for Cedar Crest

When the Cedar Crest Society for Community Living building on Cedar Avenue in 100 Mile House was broken into around 10 p.m. on Oct. 14, a little bit of change was taken from a donation jars. However, the culprits caused substantial damage breaking into the facility, and it was costly

Society executive director Tim Guthrie says the culprits gained entry by going down the ramp to the belowstreet-level entry, completely smashing the glass front door and smashing the window near the lock set on the inside door.
They opened the door and set off the alarm. They took the donation can, which had just been emptied, and ran away. Noting the society has insurance with a $1,000 deductible, Guthrie says the damage to the two doors came in at just over the deductible amount. The society decided to pay for the repairs rather than risk an increase in
premiums due to a frequency of claims. In the aftermath, the society installed security cameras, which provide complete coverage around the building, so if anything like this happens again, police will have surveillance tape. Guthrie and the society board are asking people who make donations to do so during office hours rather
than leave them at the door at the bottom of the ramp. “One of the reasons why we have traffic and activity down there is because people continue or insist on bringing donations to us after hours. “I guess it seems ungrateful in some ways,
but it is problematic.” He notes that when they lost the old building to arson, it’s believed donated clothing and other items, which were left after hours, were used for igniting the fire. “Sometimes donations, which are not in a sealed bag, that are
left after hours, end up being garbage for a number of reasons, and then it costs the society because we have to pay to have our garbage taken away.” The Thrift Store is open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Myths & realities:
“Mom, they don’t murder girls”
A LONG WAY DOWN
▾ MYTH: Girls and women aren’t allowed to join gangs: Reality: Girls are joining gangs across Canada and there are many documented reports of them being extremely violent. Girls are often used to hold and/or transport drugs and/or guns because the girls and the gangsters don’t think that the police will stop the girl…they are wrong.

She was able to walk up the embankment where it wasn’t as steep to get to the road. Three fire trucks and police attended, and firefighters directed alternating single-lane traffic.

Seniors’ Christmas dinner back
Rotary-sponsored event is a fun night for everyone with dinner and dancing Barbara Roden Free Press
One of the highlights of the year for many area seniors is the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House Seniors’ Christmas Dinner, which this year takes place on Dec. 5 at the 100 Mile Community Hall. Shawna Norton, the community services coordinator for the Rotary Club, says the event is a lot of fun for everyone. “We enjoy it. The seniors who come are so deserving, and so appreciative.” The doors open at 5 p.m., and dinner –
turkey with all the trimmings, as well as dessert – starts at 6. As many as 350 people are expected to attend, and Norton acknowledges the event couldn’t happen without the efforts of a lot of volunteers. “It’s not just Rotary. We get lots of volunteers from other businesses – about 30 people in total – who help cook and serve, and ensure everything goes smoothly and meals are served fast.” Tickets are now available from Royal LePage 100 Mile Realty. Norton says tickets will be dropped off at
Carefree Manor and Fischer Place. Tickets can also be picked up by friends and relatives of seniors who can’t make it to the Royal LePage office. “The tickets are free – Rotary does this for seniors – but you have
to have a ticket to get in.” Entertainment will be provided by The Classmates, a threeperson musical group that will be performing throughout the event. When the dinner is over, the group stays to

Parkside Art Gallery Christmas Bazaar returns
Anyone looking for Christmas gifts that are out of the ordinary should be sure to visit the Parkside Art Gallery’s Seventh Annual Christmas Bazaar, which runs from Nov. 14 to Dec. 23. “It’s a really nice place to visit even if you’re not buying anything,” says volunteer Patsy Granberg. “The decorations are wonderful.” Artists and artisans from throughout the area will have items for sale, ranging from paintings and knitted goods to weaving, spinning, Christmas decorations, and a really nice selection of handpainted cards for all occasions. Although the Gallery sells items made by local artists throughout the year, Granberg says the consignors really put a lot of effort into creating smaller, more affordable items for the Bazaar. “There will be everything under the sun there; it’s a good place to find unique items.” The opening day reception, from noon to 4 p.m. on Nov. 14, is open to everyone. “A lot of the artists and artisans will be there.” Part of the proceeds from all sales go to help operate the Art Gallery, which is run by volunteers. The Bazaar will be at the Parkside Art Gallery at 401 Cedar Ave. Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m.

Fair trade sale returns
Local shoppers will again have the chance to make a positive difference with a remarkable purchase, as the Ten Thousand Villages Fair Trade Sale returns to 100 Mile House, Nov. 18-22. Ten Thousand Villages, a non-profit fair-trade organization, forms partnerships with artisans in some of the poorest countries around the world, to give disadvantaged people hope and dignity to earn a fair wage. A variety of unique, handcrafted items are available; treasures such as oil drums in Haiti carved into wall-hanging sculptures; gourds crafted into ornaments and old newspapers made into frames; and bowls; and recycled saris sewn into blankets, freeing women in Bangladesh from the sex trade and helping them provide security for their families. Items like jewelry, baskets, pottery, linen, chocolate, coffee and sugar are also for sale in time for the holiday season. There’s going to be a lot of new stuff, says local organizer Laura Baerg. “I’m really excited and honoured to be a part of it again. It’s an organization I believe in and it does so much good around the world. “Fair trade is something I feel strongly about and I’m excited people will have another opportunity this year to buy some Christmas gifts and make some purchases that make such a big difference in people’s lives.” The shopping event raised $49,000 over 10 days in 100 Mile House last year. The funds provide for basic needs in developing countries, such as food, water,

want to make a change in the world,” she says. “We all came away wanting to help out and do more, and make changes in our community.”
Jacob Bryan, also a Grade 11 student, went this year, and wrote eloquently about what it meant to him. “I’ve always known that people had value. They were created with value, every one of them for a purpose, and given spe-
cific and wonderful dreams. “WE Day solidified this truth within me, and was such an encouraging experience. Seeing so many passionate and brilliant people sharing their uplifting dreams and accomplishments was
life changing. “When you know that even just the kindness one spreads around school can change the world, it fires you up. I’m so excited to continue being in Leadership at my school.
“I may not be smart enough to find a cure for cancer, but the kindness I have to give may be what one brilliant kid needs to keep on going until he gets there. Thanks to WE Day, I’ve been inspired to give it freely.”
Local singer performed songs from her new CD From A16
Her varied program featured some songs from her newly released CD, Rhythms of the Heart, available from her personally
at Parkside Art Gallery, on her website (www.ingridmapson.com) and online at iTunes. Local musicians, pianist Donna Forward and guitarist Peter Thorne, provided impres-
sive and sensitive accompaniments for Mapson. We are indeed fortunate in 100 Mile House to have such dedicated and talented artists in many media.

Winters Arts and Crafts Fair returns for 38th year Barbara Roden Free Press
The Winter Arts and Crafts Fair, organized by the 100 Mile House and District Arts Council, returns for two days starting Nov. 20, and co-organizer Barbara Hooper is excited it begins on the same night as the Santa Claus Parade, Moonlight Madness and Starry Nights. “I’m really happy that it’s taking place with the other events,” she says. “It all brings people into town and they can go from one event to another.” Hooper says there will be a fantastic variety of goods for sale. “The vendors come from all over British Columbia and everything has to be handmade.” There will be everything from jewelry, pottery, and fabric and knit goods to
Belgian chocolate, alpaca products, wood and metal art, and glasswork. Every vendor has donated a product to be given as a door prize, and draws will be made throughout the event. The $2 admission fee gets your name entered into the draw, and the money raised goes to support the Arts Council. “It’s our major fundraiser of the year.” Hooper says the money is given out in grants to local arts groups, and funds three scholarships for students at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School. “We are a real advocate of the arts, and try to do anything we can to support them.” Santa Claus will be there (except during the parade) for picture-taking, and the Front Porch Bluegrass Band will perform at 6 p.m. on Nov. 20. The South Cariboo
Rhythmic Gymnastics Team will demonstrate some of their routines at 1 p.m. on Nov. 21. Thirty sweaters, handmade and donated by Eva Heese, will be for sale, with all funds going to support the 100 Mile House Festival of the Arts and their goal of purchasing a new piano. The Psalm 23 Transition Society is providing a full concession, with proceeds going to the society, Hooper explains. “It’s a really fun atmosphere. It’s like a big happy family that meets once a year.” The fair takes place at the 100 Mile House Community Hall from 3 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 20, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 21. There is still some space File photo for vendors; anyone interRhys Hendrix was pretty interested when his mom, Melanie Hendrix, introduced him to Santa ested should call Hooper at Claus at last year’s 100 Mile & District Arts Council’s Winter Arts and Craft Fair. Santa will 250-397-2980. return to fair and will be at the 100 Mile Community Hall on Nov. 20-21.

Ken “Heavy Hands” Huber, left, couldn't avenge a previous loss to Samuel “The King” Moses at a rematch between the fighters in Langley on Nov. 6.
One lucky fan will get the chance to win $275 worth of gift cards from Donex Pharmacy & Department Store during the “Movember... A Night to Remember” Wranglers hockey game at the South Cariboo Rec.

'I know it's decision-making time' MIXED BONSPIEL Despite strong start, Huber loses four-round fight in Langley
Gaven Crites Free Press
The champ's eyes came back changed. Before his rematch with the top, unbeaten, up-and-coming contender Samuel “The King” Moses on Nov. 6, Ken “Heavy Hands” Huber was pacing menacingly around the red corner room inside Langley’s Coast Convention Centre, eyes like concentrated laser beams of violent intensity, hellbent on redeeming a lopsided loss one month ago to a fighter nine years his junior. Less than an hour later, after suffering another four-round unanimous decision loss to Moses, Huber, a Kamloops-based amateur boxer by way of 100 Mile House, sat quiet and despondent in the corner of that same room, applying ice and a cold compress to his battered mug, 32-yearsold, his eyes soft and wide now staring far off into the distance somewhere, his mind grappling with the big
question: What do I do now? He had high, confident hopes, but last Friday night was not Huber's night, as the British Columbia Combsport champion at heavyweight and cruiserweight lost a second time to Moses, a slick and strong 23-year-old Vancouver boxer, who's now 8-0, who was born in the Ivory Coast and who recently became a citizen of Canada after immigrating here at age 11. Huber, whose record fell to 28-7, felt he was stretching himself thin after the defeat in The Clash at the Cascades main event, the last of eight bouts that night for 2015 B.C. Golden Gloves titles. Huber, who grew up in Forest Grove, runs the Kamloops Boxing Academy; he's basically coaching himself; he's a dad; he's a full-time mechanic. Can he continue to be a fighter too? Can he go pro, as was the plan, after this fight? “I know it's decisionmaking time,” Huber
says. “Either I commit to this 100 per cent and I get the coaching and attention I need to pursue this at this level. Or I back right out of it and pursue coaching and running the gym. I still haven't quite made that decision. I'm certainly leaning more to making a five year commitment and going down to the Coast and chasing the dream. I've come this far, and I'd hate to turn around and walk away.” Round 1 in Langley went to Huber. He got to Moses first with a stiff jab and hit him with big right hands and left hooks and Moses staggered and covered up, absorbing the punishment. Someone in Huber's corner shouted, “This one's already in the bag,” and it almost looked that way. But Moses finished the round with a flurry, and for the next three rounds got his punches off first and landed the harder punches more. Huber continued to come forward, but it was Moses' fight. Huber's titles weren't on the line, so he tech-

nically remains the champion. But it was pretty clear inside Moses' room that “The King”, while modest and grateful, considered himself the true B.C. champion. “Huber is one hell of a competitor,” Moses says. “I take nothing away from him. This was only my eighth fight. I just want to keep going. Huber, I want to say thank you to him for giving me the opportunity to fight him. I think not a lot of
people would do that.” Huber thinks he was a little overconfident after that first round, and was caught looking for a knockout. “Hats off to [Moses]. He got stronger as the fight went on and he started to see the openings. I was getting sloppy. I was just head-hunting, and he was taking advantage of that.” “The more I think about it,” Huber adds a few days after the fight. “[Moses] is me 10 years
ago. He's bursting onto the scene here and he's starting to tear it up.” Huber says within the next few weeks he'll make a decision about his future in the sport. “I don't see myself walking away. But I know making a commitment like that is huge. I'm talking about uprooting my whole life and chasing a dream, which sounds great on paper, but it's a huge commitment for a 32-year-old man with a lot of responsibilities.”
The 100 Mile Curling Club is hosting a Mixed Bonspiel, Nov. 13-15. The action starts Friday at 7 p.m. and goes all day Saturday before concluding Sunday afternoon. The public is invited to come and watch the curling all weekend and enjoy the new look curling rink.

Local runner Brandon Balbirnie finished 24th of 239 participants at the 2015 BC High School X-Country Championships in Vancouver on Nov. 7. The Grade 10 student at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School in 100 Mile House ran a time of 25 minutes 52 seconds, just over two minutes behind the winner, Kieran Lumb of
Lord Byng Secondary School in west Vancouver, and almost four minutes faster than the average finishing time in the 6.9-kilometre race, which saw the best young runners in the province competing at the senior boys level. “I feel that even though I didn't quite run the way I should have run, I did leave everything out there,”
says Balbirnie. “I would like it back, and that's why I'm doing it again next year.” “The course was very rough,” he adds. “There were mud holes everywhere and it was so chewed up because we ran the last race.” Balbirnie finished second place at North Central Zones in Dawson Creek in October.

For Wranglers, 'sky is the limit' 100 Mile House led Conference following road trip points
Gaven Crites Free Press
This town should be proud of these 100 Mile House Wranglers, which led the Okanagan/ Shuswap Conference following a three-outof-four-point road trip through Revelstoke and North Okanagan, says coach Dale Hladun. Through 20 games, the local Kootenay International Junior Hockey League club's conditioning, goaltending and will to win are exemplary. After a 3-2 overtime loss to the Grizzlies in Revelstoke on Nov. 6, 100 Mile House beat the North Okanagan Knights 4-1 on Nov. 7, with 14 skaters on the roster.
DALE HLADUN
The Wranglers had a short bench to begin the trip, and forwards Michael Lynch and Kyle Lindstrom had to drop back on defence after Tavis Roch was injured in Revelstoke, and 100 Mile was down to three defenceman. "Our guys, they stepped up," says Hladun. "They controlled that game, as shorthanded as we were. I'm in awe of the character of this crew.” Back up goalie Adam Derochie was stellar
Gaven Crites photo
100 Mile House Wranglers goalie Adam Derochie won his first four games this season. Against North Okanagan on Nov. 7, the 18-year-old from Maple Ridge made 41 saves, including a huge, goal-saving one with his glove. “I'm really impressed with young Derochie,” says coach Dale Hladun after the game.
with 41 saves against North Okanagan, including a huge glove save the Knights thought was a sure goal. “He pulled a rabbit out of a hat, it was nuts,” says Hladun of Derochie's save. “The red light went on and [North Okanagan] did a fly by the bench. And [Derochie] had it in his glove. He was holding it in front of the ref.” Giving credit to both his goalies, Hladun says Derochie, 18, has been “equal to the task” as starting goalie Zane Steeves has been this season. “I'm really impressed with young Derochie.” Hladun says the Wranglers' fitness level right now is through the roof, giving credit to their off-ice commitment and spin classes
at Action Fitness in 100 Mile. “It's a unique dressing room,” the coach notes. “They really do play for each other. This is a true band of brothers. There's always another guy that steps up... There's not one guy I'm disappointed with at all on the weekend. They hunkered down and got the job done.” “The sky is the limit,” Hladun adds. While Brett Harris and Alex Meeker are not expected to return and Roch is questionable, the coach thinks Tyler Povelofskie, Kolten Carpenter and Todd Bredo will be
back for upcoming games (after press time) against Revelstoke in 100 Mile House on Nov. 10; Summerland in 100 Mile on Nov. 13; in Williams Lake against Summerland on Nov. 14; and Sicamous in 100 Mile House on Nov. 15. Hladun is also expecting to call up some affiliated players for some of those games. In the 4-1 win over the North Okanagan Knights, Kolby Page, Cole Zimmerman (2) and Nick McCabe scored for the Wranglers. McCabe, Ryan Friesen, Brady Ward, Stephen Egan, Lynch (2), and Justin Bond
made assists. In Revelstoke, Ward, from Liam Cumberbirch and Bond, scored in the first period to tie the game, 1-1, while Cumberbirch, from Tate Page, scored early in the second to tie the game 2-2. Steeves made 33 saves in net for the Wranglers. Because of the Remembrance Day holiday, the Nov. 10 game at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre between Revelstoke and 100 Mile House took place after press time. Visit the 100 Mile House Free Press online at www.100milefreepress. net for regular Wranglers coverage and updates.
Christmas Helper Event Hey, it’s time once again for the Royal LePage 100 Mile Realty Christmas helper event. Every year, for ten years now, around this time, we ask the local people to help out those less fortunate over the holiday period, and every year the residents of the area respond and every year we are surprised and gladdened by the response. In previous years, the public has donated thousands of dollars of food, clothing and toys to our drive. This year, in addition to the usual drop-off spot at our office next to Tim Horton’s in 100 Mile, we have a new office at the Interlakes Service Center and will be accepting donations there as well. So drop off your donations of toys, clothing or nonperishable grocery items at either location and we’ll make sure it helps to make a deserving family have a better Christmas season. Thank you from Royal LePage 100 Mile Realty

Seven years ago Dustin Milne was in a motorcycle accident that almost cost him his life, but even that life-changing incident wasn’t enough to help him turn away from his addictions. “I spent more than a year after that battling my addictions,” says Milne from his Abbotsford home, where he lives with his wife and two young daughters. “But eventually I hit emotional and spiritual rock bottom when my brother said something simple to me.” Seeing the pain Milne was causing his wife, his brother asked point-blank: “Why did you put a ring on her if you’re going to do this to her?” That was enough for

With the assistance of P23TS, Milne came to know God and was able
to turn his life around. Now, he helps others struggling with addictions by going to an addiction recovery mission in Abbotsford once a week, where he shares his testimony and talks with people about their struggle. “It helps that I can relate to people,” he says. At this year’s Starfish

More than 40 women and children participated in a Zumba fundraiser at 100 Mile House Elementary School on Oct. 22. the event raised almost $400 to benefit the Kindergym program, a free drop-in at the 100 Mile Community Hall every Thursday from 9:45 to 11:45 a.m.
Toddlers benefit from fundraiser
A Zumba fundraiser at 100 Mile Elementary School raised close to $400 to benefit the community’s youngest children who participate in the Kindergym program, a free dropin at the 100 Mile Community Hall every Thursday from 9:45 to 11:45 a.m. More than 40 women and children participated in the Zumba class on Oct. 22. Kindergym is a life-saver for many families, especially in the winter months when it is too cold for infants and toddlers to play outside for more than a few minutes, says Kimberley Vance-Lundsbye, who helped organize the event. “These kids benefit so much from being able to ride tricycles and burn off some energy safely indoors. It was wonderful to see so much community
support at the event and especially to watch all the kids dancing and having fun.” Zumba instructor Gale Ogden engaged some local businesses to donate door prizes for the event. The 108 Mile Supermarket, Canadian 2 for 1 Pizza, and the Hills Health Ranch were supporters, as well as Canlan Ice Sports, which helped organize and promote the event. Vance-Lundsbye is the community programs co-ordinator at Canlan Ice Sports in 100 Mile House. She says it’s a program they want to bring awareness, so more people can join in on the fun. “Kids under five have a chance all summer and winter to be physically active, work on their gross motor skills, and that’s important for us in the recreation field.”
Awards Dinner and Auction, held in 100 Mile House on Oct. 24, Milne was presented with the Courageous Star Award. “Recipients have to have at least five years’ sobriety, and be active in giving back to the community,” says Declare. “Dustin continues to lead ministry groups, and if someone out there needs help, he’s wonderful. He’s transformed his life.” At the event, P23TS gave Volunteer Appreciation awards to community members, including Bob Rodford, Vicky Escobedo, Larry Hilstad, Reg Berrington, Dave and Vicky Skoda and Mike Boyd. The Community Sponsorship Awards went to Sunrise Ford, Donex Pharmacy, 100 Mile House Free Press, The Goat, Century Home Hardware,
Andre’s Electronics, Regency Chrysler, Tim Hortons, Save-OnFoods, Norbord Inc., TIMBER MART, Tasco Supplies, Safeway, United Concrete, Central GM and the Royal Bank. Psalm 23’s evening raised $3,346.00 and then added the matching grant of $1,650.00 (which excludes money from silent auction and ticket sales) for a total of $4,996.00. “Our greatest need at this time is to ask people to pray for the students as they battle the difficult journey of change and Psalm 23’s financial shortfall to meet the budget obligations.” People who want to make a year-end donation to Psalm 23 can send a cheque to Psalm 23 at Box 387 Clinton, BC, V0K 1K0 or call 250-459-2220 and use your Visa or MasterCard.

Poppy Campaign important to the local Legion
Ken Alexander Free Press
During the preperation for Remembrance Day on Nov. 11, Elsie Urquhart is one of the busiest people at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #260-100 Mile House. As the Poppy Campaign chair, Elsie and her helpers have been busy getting the poppies ready and distributed, starting with the two Tag Days – Oct. 30 and 31. On Oct. 30, Legion members, including those from Branch #261-Forest Grove who get a percentage of the revenue, stand at various locations throughout 100 Mile House and offer the iconic red poppies to passers-by. On Oct. 31, the 2887 Rocky Mountain Rangers Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps members take a turn at handing out poppies and collecting

donations for the Legion that sponsors their corps. Both Tag Days went very well, Urquhart says, adding
the cadets made more than they did the previous year. Elsie and her crew are also responsible for get-
ting the wreaths ready for the Remembrance Day Service on Nov. 11, during which area organizations and businesses lay wreaths to commemorate those veterans who have fallen in the service of their country and those who have passed away after returning home. The crew bought new wreaths this year, and Elsie says they contact those on a list and some phone the Legion at 250-395-2511. All of the funds from the Poppy Campaign go to the local veterans and their families – young and old. “It helps the local veterans if they need help with their rent or groceries or whatever they need. We’re there to help.” She adds they apply at the Legion. “It comes in handy for them and it definitely helps those who have served and need our help.”

Remembering the Past By Carrie McDougall Wrinkled old faces weathered from time Many tears shed for the ones left behind Mask-like expressions, an unwavering stare Minds re-live horrors their memories must bear They take comfort in comrades that shared in their fate Many years ago, another time, another place Then there are those who have suffered and lost In a time believed free from the terrors that cause Our Vets – so much younger – they’re struggling to keep a small piece of sanity though the cruelty they see Whispered from our lips, a prayer reaches out Our loved ones need protection in these dark days of doubt Uncertainty captures our solemn attention As our world lives in fear of its horrific inventions Have we not learned from the wars of the past? Were the lives sacrificed not enough to forecast How our world will be lost with the weapons of today and the underhanded methods that lead good men astray? Are we fighting for peace or to be “king of the hill?” “WHAT makes us swallow those embittered pills? Join our great strengths and work toward PEACE That engulfs all our nations and let the wars cease Our world is collapsing – our future looks gray Yet blindly, “control” is the winner we say Blend minds and compassion, seek the knowledge we need To survive natures challenges, if we don’t succeed It won’t matter at all who “wins” the war Our world will be lost shattered, no more! Carrie McDougall is a 108 Mile Ranch resident who wrote this poem in 2001.

Harlem Crowns player Herbie Scaife Jr. slipped the ball between the legs of PSO guard Reid Davidson during the first quarter of the game.
t was Showtime in 100 Mile House as the Harlem Crowns tipped off against Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School in a fun charity basketball game on Nov. 2. The packed gymnasium saw a few big time dunks, dazzling passes, deep threes, good sportsmanship and plenty of spirited laughs. After expenses, the local high school raised $175 for its athletics programs. “The game was a lot of fun,” says teacher and referee Sean Glanville, a great sport and target for much of the wisecracking. “It was a nice turnout of fans of all ages, and we had to pull out a third set of bleachers to
accommodate everyone, which was awesome. The Crowns are not only talented but also provided a lot of laughter with their antics all evening. It’s a nice segue into the basketball season for the senior boys.” Coach Josh Dickerson says the extra money will make it easier for players to afford outof-town trips for games. “Hopefully, the crowd that came out enjoyed the game. We appreciate the support we receive from the community for the beloved Eagles team.” Similar to the Harlem Globetrotters, the Harlem Crowns, based out of Oakland, are known for their version of “Clownball,” incorporating comedy routines and funny improvisational gags alongside skilled basketball moves and slam dunks.

Shriners raising money with calendar
Barbara Roden Free Press
There aren’t many calendars that give you the opportunity to win a cash prize on every day of the year, which is one of the things that make the annual Shriners calendar special.
House and Williams Lake Shrine clubs for 15 years, says last year sales of the Shriners calendar in British Columbia raised $42,000. “The money raised goes to fund the transportation costs of any
child in the province who needs to visit a Shriners Hospital.” This includes children referred to the Shriners Gait Lab at the BC Children’s Hospital, which assesses children with walking disorders.
Every purchaser of the calendar, which costs $20, is registered and eligible to win the cash prize offered every day of the year, which ranges
from $25 to $1,000. Calendars can be purchased at the Red Rock Grill Restaurant, 100 Mile Feed and Ranch Supply, and
BJ’s Donuts & Eatery, or by calling Dobbs at 250-791-6524, Joe Hofmann at 250-3953566, or Ray Matwick at 250-395-3107.

Ask an Expert:
it is an abrasive material, is applied to icy roads to provide traction. It can capably create traction on ice at any temperature, whereas rock salt is not effective in extreme cold. But sand is only effective if it is on the surface of the ice. If it gets buried under snow, it needs to be reapplied. Excessive amounts of sand can collect into drains and drainage areas, so clean-up of sand after
storms is important or you can have problems come spring. For homeowners who want to go with sand to help manage ice on their walks and drives, use sandbox sand as opposed to mason’s sand, which is too fine. Other abrasive materials like kitty litter, saw dust, or wood ashes can be used to create traction on icy walkways if sand is not available.

What can I use to keep my steps clear of ice? Rock Salt Rock salt, the mineral form of sodium chloride (table salt), forms in large chunky crystals and is mined from underground deposits. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, so it has traditionally been spread on roads to keep them from getting icy, or to help melt away ice that has already formed. It works in temperatures above -10 degrees C and is an inexpensive option for the task. But it can be very harsh on grass and shrubs and can eat away at concrete and steel. For homeowners using much smaller quantities on a less frequent basis, large bags of rock salt are readily available at hardware and grocery stores in the winter months. Sand Rock salt melts ice, sand does not. Sand, because

TRAUMA STRETCHER
Come help Santa & the Grinch with the OFFICIAL Light-Up Ceremony Friday, Nov. 20th at 7 p.m. After the Santa Clause Parade
This Year’s Fundraising Goal
We’re inviting you to participate in this special fundraising event by purchasing a ‘Health Star’ for ... to be lit up at the front of the 100 Mile District Hospital.
This state of the art mobile x-ray stretcher has a built in scale system for accurate patient weight allowing proper medication dosage. It also allows staff to do x-rays and other procedures while the patient remains on the stretcher, therefore limiting movement and discomfort to those who are, in some cases, dealing with severe trauma.
