Dr. Bruce Nicolson appeared before the District of 100 Mile House council on March 8 to request the District sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Central Interior Rural Division of Family Practice (CIRD).
Mitch Campsall
Mayor Mitch Campsall and chief administrative officer Roy Scott had met with CIRD representatives on two earlier occasions to consider the request. It was agreed council’s support of the request shouldn’t be construed as financial support. The CIRD wants to enter into an MoU with the District, so the respective roles can be identified to • Improve patient access to local primary care; • Increase local physicians’ influence on health-care delivery and policy; and • Provide professional support for physicians. Later in the meeting, councillors unanimously approved a motion so Mayor Campsall can sign the MoU with the CIRD.

Some people felt School District 27 is showing them disrespect
Ken Alexander Free Press
When parents and area residents left the Bridge Lake Elementary School (BLES) gymnasium after the public meeting called by School District #27 (SD27) on March 2, most were disgruntled and disappointed. These folks also felt they didn’t get any information from SD27 and the school trustees that would help them form arguments against the potential closure of BLES due to the lack of students. When imposing a 90-day consultation period to consider the school closure, the school board Trustees took into account:
• The decline of students from 27 in 2013/14 to six in 2015/16; • The impact of the lack of students was having on SD27’s budget; and • The proximity of the BLES to Horse Lake Elementary School being 38 kilometres. The initial agitation at the forum was how the format had been changed 24 hours before it was held. The expected public forum had been changed to a WorldCafe format that many of the 160 parents, residents and business owners in attendance thought was an attempt to put a gag on people from talking about what they thought was the reason for the rapidly declining enrolment at
the school. SD 27 schools superintendent Mark Thiessen told the members of the public that statements about behaviour or conduct of any specific staff member would not be tolerated. He also refused to change the format that went on for more than 90 minutes even though only a few people talked to the table facilitators to voice their concerns and offer information. Most of the people mingled with friends and talked about how peeved they are with the meeting format and what a waste of time it was for everyone. Cariboo Regional District Area L Director Brian Coakley
noted he talked to Thiessen. “I told him it was the most undemocratic meeting I ever attended in my life. People should be allowed the opportunity to speak at the [microphone] and when they finish speaking, they should sit down and the next person gets up to speak, and if we’re here to [midnight], we have to wait until everyone is heard and then we go home. “This idea of having cards where you fill in the questions... I don’t know if all those questions will be asked; I don’t know if someone will go through those questions and only ask the ones they want to answer. That is totally undemocratic.” Continued on A5

Post Office celebrates 100 years
Residents show up to enjoy post office’s century of serving Heather Nelson Free Press
The 100 Mile Post Office celebrated its 100th year anniversary on March 11, with cake, balloons, and gifts for the members of the public who showed up for the event. The day started at 11 a.m. with a cake cutting ceremony by Canada Post lead hand Robin Clarke. The beautifully decoratedcake was brought by Canada Post’s local area manager Karen Plessis and area superintendent Rob Klarich. “The design on the cake is the same as the design for the newly crafted cancellation stamp,” Klarich says, adding the stage coach represents the history of the area, with the transport of passengers, products and mail. “The new cancellation stamp was collectively designed by Robin and his
staff and then sent to the designers.” Folks enjoyed cake, coffee and free promotional items, such as pins and pens. There were also post cards for sale by donation commemorating the event, with the proceeds going to children’s charities. Later that day, dignitaries arrived to celebrate with the staff. On behalf of the 100 Mile Post Office, Clarke accepted cong r atu l at i on cer t if ic ates from CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and from Kam l o op s - T homp s on Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod’s 100 Mile House assistant Lynda Krupp. In turn, Clarke gave the dignitaries mugs adorned with the Canada Post logo. It was great day, Clarke says, adding the local post office had many compliments. “I think it worked out very well.”
On Feb. 1, 1916, the post office in 100 Mile House was established and J.G. Loyd was its first postmaster. For the next 100 years, the postmasters and their assistants were, and continue to be part of the hub of the South Cariboo. According to Post Office records, there were a number of postmasters in the early days: J.G Lloyd, Feb. 1, 1916-Aug. 28, 1918; J.W. Hutton, Jan. 16, 1919-March 26, 1919; W.M. Buse, June 1, 1919-Sept. 2, 1921; T.A. Wheeler, Oct. 19, 1921-April 24, 1922; W.B. Hill, Sept. 10, 1922-June 4, 1923; R. Blair, Aug. 8, 1923-Oct. 22, 1928; G.B. Wright Nelson, April 4, 1929-Dec. 14, 1930; G.G. Lloyd, March 27, 1931-June 1935; C.M. Forbes, June 15, 1935-May 10, 1944; A.H. Christiansen, May 11, 1944June 12, 1947; D. Mitchell, June 22, 1947-July 1952; Lord W.M.A. Cecil, Aug. 1, 1952-Jan. 17, 1956; and Mrs. M.S.K. Murray, March 20, 1956-Nov. 24, 1959. The records are very sketchy after Mrs. Murray’s tenure.
Over the years the post office resided in different buildings, but since 1983, it
has been located in the heart of 100 Mile House at 425 Birch Ave.
An official-looking message e-mailed to local resident, supposedly from CIBC, is a scam. The sender wants recipients to click on a link to regain access to their accounts. In part, this message states: CIBC has detected suspicious activity, and the recipient’s online banking account was accessed, from an unfamiliar computer. Then the recipients are told they can regain access to their accounts once they complete the automated security verification process.” Do not click onto the line.

First Nations community court making a difference
By Monica Lamb-Yorski A First Nations community court should be ready to take cases in Williams Lake by Sept. 1, said the RCMP’s community safety coordinator Dave Dickson. Speaking to Williams Lake council on March 8, Dickson said in the First Nations Court system offenders have to stand before a judge and their elders. “Going before a judge really means nothing to them. They have to stand before the judge and the elders who interview them and talk to them and likely know them.” Dickson said he has been to Kamloops for Crown and witnessed that it works.
“It’s an exciting thing.” Two years ago, Dickson challenged his restorative justice committee because he didn’t think what they were doing was working. Offenders are captured, go to court, they are sentenced, go to jail or go on probation, but then go right back into the system again, he explained. “I talked with Chief Ervin Charleyboy who said court is not the answer and I challenged my team that night and said we had to do something different.” Taking up the challenge, retired school counsellor Jim World and retired Crown counsel Rod Hawkins told Dickson they’d
work with him on the project. Six or seven months ago, Sarah Jackman, executive director with the Tsilhqot’in National Government’s Punky Lake Wilderness Society, was invited to the table. “We are to the stage now where we’ve talked with the Minister of Justice, to Chief Judge Thomas Crabtree, and we’ve got support of the judges. We have support of defense counsel; we have the support of the RCMP and a number of the Chiefs.” Presently, the committee is looking for funding to train First Nations elders in May, he noted. “When we present-
ed to the judges a few weeks ago, they said that was too long, but we’ve told them we will start Sept. 1,” Dickson said, adding former Williams Lake RCMP Insp. Warren Brown, now stationed in Prince George, is trying to establish a First Nations court there, too. Meanwhile, the restorative justice committee, made up of 40-something facilitators, will also be doing some training April 1-3, Dickson explained. “We are always looking for new facilitators. We did 54 cases last year and have 16 actively going as I speak.” Monica Lamb-Yorski is a writer for the Williams Lake Tribune.

Referendum results released The Northern Shuswap Tribal Council and its affiliated NStQ Treaty Group held an Agreement-in-Principle referendum on Feb. 11 to see if there was an appetite to move forward with the final agreement negotiations. However, there was a bit of a hiccup in the process. The Williams Lake Indian Band (WLIB) poll, with 385 eligible voters, was suspended at the polling station because of the disruptive actions of a small group of protestors
who were predominantly comprised of non-WLIB community members, according to the NStQ leadership. The band council has decided to provide the full 70-day notice to membership in order to include “mail-in” votes from all those who don’t live in the area. The full re-vote will take place on April 28. The four First Nation communities that make up the Northern Secwepemc te Qelmucw (NStQ) are the Canim Lake Indian Band (Tsq’escen’), Soda Creek

Businesses: economic impact not considered
From A1
The second agitation was SD27 secretarytreasurer Kevin Futcher going through budget impacts BLES would have on SD27's budget if it remained open or closed under current enrolment. Futcher’s bottom line: if the school remained open next year, there would be a $93,967 deficit; and if it closed, there would be a $91,802 surplus. After the first year of closure, SD27 would realize a $271,504 savings. It was noted by some audience members that this savings would take a bite out of the school district anticipated halfmillion-dollar budget
deficit for the next few years. Some people muttered that this was the real reason for the school closure and said they believed the school trustees had already made up their minds to close the school. After the presentation, BLES Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) president Piri de Vries asked Thiessen when people were going to see all the information SD27 refused to provide until the March 2 meeting. The SD27 staff and trustees had refused to answer questions about potential students, economic impact on school closure, as well as bus times and distances that the PAC and the Interlakes Economic
Association had sent to the school district. Area residents were also upset their elected school trustee refused to meet with the PAC to discuss the potential closure. After a few weeks of waiting for answers, Thiessen said the board and staff wouldn’t be providing information until the March 2 meeting when they would provide all the information to the public, “so everyone would have it at the same time.” At the meeting, Thiessen told de Vries that what they presented was all the information they had. That comment resulted in angry shouts from the audience. During the World-

From A4
The results of the referendum have been confirmed: • Canim Lake Band (458 eligible voters): yes – 125; no – 84 • Soda Creek Band (336 eligible voters): yes – 90; no – 48 • Canoe Creek/Dog Creek Band (582 eligible voters): yes – 113; no – 72 Canim Lake Band Chief and NStQ vicechair Mike Archie says there was a good turnout in his community. He adds the majority of the voters were in favour of moving forward to Stage 5. Archie notes there was a lot of effort to get information out to the band members so
they could make an informed vote. Now, the NStQ must wait to for the WLIB vote results to see if it joins the three sister communities moving forward in treaty process. If membership votes “yes” to moving forward into Stage 5, that process could take anywhere from three to five years to complete, according to the NStQ leadership council. It is during this stage that the three parties to the final agreement – federal government, provincial government and the NStQ – will have to work through a lot of items of interest. Chief Archie says there is a lot of work ahead because there are several

areas to negotiate. “Specifics of the agreement will take some time. There are key issues that we have to make sure our people are comfortable with, and there are things we would like to see in the agreement. Once a “final agreement” is negotiated, the NStQ membership will conduct a final vote on whether to accept the negotiated treaty, before its “Implementation” (Stage 6) can begin. This is a process the NStQ has been involved in since 1994.
Café format, which ran for almost two hours, many people complained that it was an attempt to divide the audience so it could not provide a united front against the school closure. Many also said they felt they were being disrespected. Area building contractor Mark Williamson was one of them. He eventually spoke about the affects closing BLES would have on the Interlakes area. “I talked to the boss Mark Thiessen and they are closing the school based on the projected losses of approximately $95,000 to $100,000 a year. “When I moved to the community, I invested over a million dollars in property. “I have since started a company. I have employed two local residents, and my contribution to the com-
munity of Bridge Lake is well in the excess of a million dollars. “I also know of a great number of other people who have moved to the community who have also invested a large amount of money in excess of a million dollars. “And the school district is saying it’s going to close the school for 90 grand. “In the past, the PAC has raised in excess $20,000 on their own, let alone other contributions from the community. “So I think it’s a pretty poor decision to shut a community down for 90 grand. “If they haven’t considered the impact to the community, they should talk to the business groups and not just dictate to them what you can and can’t say. I think they should listen and respond a lot better.”

Lac la Hache OCP being updated
CERTIFIED LASH SPECIALIST
People still have time to provide input on survey
Monika Paterson Free Press
Some 30 area residents attended the initial public consultation meeting on the Lac la Hache Official Community Plan (OCP) Bylaw rewrite at the Lac la Hache Community Hall on Feb. 22. The OCP has not been updated in nearly 20 years and there has been a number of changes in local community trends. Potential issues that need to be addressed, including water quality, the aging population, transporta-
tion and agriculture. The OCP is one of the most important planning documents for the community because it determines future development. It deals with a broad range of topics, including the environment, housing, parks and infrastructure. The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) is using a consulting team made up of community planners and technical staff led by Graham Farstad who is the principal of Arlington Group Planning and Architecture. They are being supported
Liberals increasing wildfire fines Ken Alexander Free Press
The B.C. Liberal government is going to increase the financial punishment for those who interfere with folks battling wildfires, as well as those who do not comply with campfire bans. Fines for 19 offences under the Wildfire Act are being increased to become among the highest in the country. For example, the fine for failing to comply with a fire restriction under the Wildfire Act is increasing from $345 (including a $45 victim surcharge) to $1,150 (including a $150 victim surcharge). This represents a 333.33 per cent increase over the old fine for that offence. A new penalty for failing to comply with a stop-work order, which is made because
of fire risk, will carry a maximum penalty of $100,000 and one year in prison. “We can never be too careful regarding forest fires with the early lack of snow and moisture in the Chilcotin and parts of the Cariboo,” says CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. “I hope caution will be taken by all, but for those who are careless, let’s hope these increased fines will make them think about their actions.” On average, 30-40 per cent of wildfires in British Columbia are caused by humans. The 2015 fire season was one of the busiest and most expensive in recent years. More than 283,400 hectares were burned last year, and more than $278 million was spent on wildfire management.

by two other firms EcoPlan International, and Associated Environmental Consultants. During the meeting, some residents raised questions regarding the protection of the water quality, as there are many residents living along the lake who still take their drinking water from it. The town centre is serviced by a water-andsewer system, while the balance of the area is on private wells and septic systems. Comments were made about the possibility of a sewer-and-water system extension to properties outside of the town boundaries. Lac la Hache has a higher aging population compared to the rest of the province. In Lac la Hache, the average age is between 50 and 69. This demographic affects health-care and
assisted-living opportunities for people who want to stay in their homes longer. Public transportation options are very limited in Lac la Hache compared to larger centres. The CRD has recently updated its agricultural policy, which is important to Lac la Hache because there is a large agricultural area. Natural pasture and rangeland is considered critical to the beef industry in the South Cariboo. Residents can fill out an online questionnaire at https://www. surveymonkey.com/r/ LacLaHacheAreaOCP or pick up informational sheets and questionnaires to fill out and drop off or mail to either of the CRD offices in 100 Mile House (Unit 3-170 Cedar Ave.) or Williams Lake (Suite D, 180 North 3rd Ave.) by March 31.

Man busted for B&Es On March 7, 100 Mile House RCMP were called by a concerned citizen to a break-andenter in progress to a business located on Birch Avenue. Upon police arrival, a male, who was believed to be involved in the break-in, was located in the vicinity of the business. A 43-year-old 100 Mile House man was arrested without incident. Subsequently, police were notified of six additional breakand-enters to other businesses that had occurred in the same time frame on Birch Avenue and Alder Avenue. Further investigation linked the male suspect to the breakand-enters. He was held in custody and remanded to Williams Lake where he appeared in court on March 9. The RCMP has proposed seven charges of breakand-enter and mischief to Crown counsel.

Giving B.C. a future in organics and farming
R
ecently, the agricultural sector has been moving forward in leaps and bounds into the future of farming and organic foods. There are many highlights, but I want to focus on three: a new law that will allow for regulations limiting the use of the word “organic” only to foods that have been certified organic; a significant budget lift for the Agricultural Land Commission to help it safeguard good agricultural land for future generations; and a new tax credit for farmers who donate their food to registered nonprofits like food banks. By 2018, after an appropriate transition period, all marked “organic” foods will be certified under either a provincial or national certifications program and offer certainty to shoppers. Government listened and is giving consumers the certainty they have been asking for. The reality is the demand for organic products has
increased rapidly in the Columbia’s organic food and last 10 years, and the beverages, locally, across requirements for businesses Canada, and around the producing and marketing globe.

GUEST SHOT
e have to give the B.C. Liberal government credit for legislation proposed in the legislature on March 10 that should discourage behaviour that contributes to increased wildfire risks. In turn, the proposed legislative amendments introduced as part of the Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Statutes Amendment Act (Bill 12) will help protect communities, natural resources and infrastructure damage from wildfires. Bill 12 will include provisions aimed specifically at people who interfere with firefighting efforts in British Columbia. In fact, it was public interference during a wildfire, which threatened the Town of Oliver, last year that forced the provincial government’s hands to make some necessary changes. The pilot of a drone, which was hovering over a wildfire near Oliver and taking photos of the firefighting efforts, aerial attacks and the wildfire itself, grounded planes for hours because it was too dangerous for the pilots to fly in the area. Meanwhile, the wildlife was threatening homes, vineyards and a school. It has been reported that boaters and canoeist sometimes get in the way of water bombers scooping water from nearby lakes. Public Safety Minister Mike Morris reviewed the 2015 wildfire season, put a study together and shared it with his provincial government colleagues. Noting wildfire numbers have been increasing year after year, Morris said, “We needed to do something drastic that would catch the attention of people who frequent the outdoors and try and reduce the number of human-caused fires.” The government had to clamp down on this kind of interference. In fact, Victoria has clarified that “interference” doesn’t have to be intentional to constitute a contravention of the Wildlife Act. The proposed amendments would see fines increasing by more than 300 per cent for failing to comply to fire restrictions under the Wildfire Act. The 2015 wildfire season was one of the most expensive in recent years and it saw provincial taxpayers paying for more than $278 million on wildfire management. However, Morris noted it’s not just the cost of fighting fires that has the government concerned. He said millions of cubic metres of wood are lost every year in wildfires, and it has a significant impact on not only industry, but also on revenue coming into government. Human-caused wildfires, which average between 30 and 40 per cent every year, cost hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Taxpayers and the provincial government cannot afford to cough up that kind of money year after year to pay outdoor recreationalists’ foolishness. More than 280,000 hectares of BC Forests burned last year and it has a large economic impact on jobs, businesses and communities.

resources to support our Agricultural Land Reserve, but also for their generosity by helping those in need. By introducing the 25 per cent non-refundable farmers’ food tax credit, we are assisting local farmers who donate produce to registered charities like food banks and school meal programs. The gift of agriculture should be shared with everyone and I encourage more famers to participate in this beneficial program. As the world of agriculture changes and we move in to the future of farming, I am reminded of the great successes the Agrifoods industry is achieving and the sales records that keep on falling each year. Through the dedicated work of over 55,000 people directly employed in the Agrifoods sector in B.C. and most importantly with your support, by buying local, we are taking the industry to new heights and continued sustainability.

Parent wants accountability, answers and truth
To the editor: I am very disappointed in School District #27 (SD27), the way they are mistreating our community and mismanaging our school. I reside in the Interlakes area and attended the meeting held at Bridge Lake Elementary School (BLES) about its possible closure. To me it seems the district has already made its decision to close our school and that they are just giving us lip service, following their protocol, and wasting community time and resources. SD27 changed the format of the meet-
ing to limit what community members could talk about and how much they could say. They showed disrespect by starting the meeting late and were inconsiderate to individuals who had planned presentations, which takes time and resources, changing their allowed time to two minutes, if they got to speak at all. Further, SD27 wasted valuable time at the meeting by having us discuss questions that we had asked them to answer weeks prior to the meeting. I am also disappointed in our trustee, the person who holds an elected position to
represent us. This trustee and other SD27 representatives refused to talk to our Parents Advisory Committee members before the meeting, saying we would get the information we needed at the meeting. Our questions are still unanswered, and their information, like their estimate of five students for future enrolment, shows a complete lack of due diligence. SD27 seems to be avoiding the real cause of declining enrolment, which is not fewer students, as an excuse to close our school. There were parents who were told they could not enrol their children in BLES because the
school will be closing and they needed to go elsewhere. Parents were told their children wouldn’t get a proper education at the school and existing students were encouraged to leave for the same reasons. Why? I am disappointed the people involved in educating our children would treat a community with such disrespect; the way they have treated ours. It’s not right and they should be held accountable; we want answers and the truth. Craig Charlton Business owner and parent
A wee drop of the ‘water of life’ good for us
To the editor: “Water of life” or “whiska var” is what the great Kings of Ireland called it. Everyone else calls it whiskey. And since the aulde times, the Irish have known that whiskey has healing properties almost as great as the holy water, and certainly on a par with mother’s milk and genuine Guinness draft. (And I am not completely certain about the mother’s milk.) For St. Patrick’s Day, it is time to review the healing power of whiskey and other spirituous liquors. And how the French helped prove it – by not dying enough! Sitting around all day drinking, stuffing yer gob with fatty food, smoking, and not exercising is both the road to happiness in this life and an ensured early arrival in the next. The Irish are prime examples, but the French turned out to be even worse. Probably the rich sauces, stuffed fatty goose liver, smelly cigarettes and cheap red wine. So what could have been called the “Irish screw-up” became known instead as the
A
“French Paradox.” Statistics showed that Frenchmen – despite their dissipated lifestyle – weren’t dying nearly enough. All that alcohol was preserving them! Several decades later, doctors agree regular low doses of any kind of alcohol are actually good for you! The Journal of the American Medical Association published the results of 34 scientific studies, involving over
a million people and many different libations. It concluded, “Low levels of alcohol intake (1-2 drinks per day for women and 2-4 drinks per day for men) are inversely associated with total mortality in both men and women.” In plain English, it means one or two drinks a day makes you less likely to die. A daily “drop of the pure” is healthier than
total abstinence! This is why in Ireland, people don’t say “cheers,” they say “Slainte,” which is Gaelic for “health.” It turns out to be a happy scientific truth. Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Dr. Patrick Nesbitt Former 100 Mile House physician
Medical premiums can backfire To the editor: Re: Time to take MSP off life support (B.C. Views, Feb. 25). I enjoyed Tom Fletcher’s column on MSP premiums and it brought back to mind some research I conducted when I was at Decima Research in the late 1980s. As is true today, there was concern among some that people were over-using medical care, in part because they did
not understand its cost. We tested views about costs of the system and looked in particular at differences between provinces that charged premiums and those that did not. The results were surprising. We found that a significant minority of respondents in provinces that had premiums believed that their premiums covered the entire cost of the
health system. Far from making them more cautious about accessing the system, many of those premium-paying respondents thought “I’m paying for it, so why shouldn’t I go to the hospital/clinic whenever I want.” As is the case today, proponents of premiums argued that it would make people more sensitive to the costs of the services they used; the converse turned
out to be true. The only serious attempt to let people know about medical costs directly was Alberta’s disastrous (and never repeated) experiment in informing households about all the medical services consumed by the household in the previous year.

BC VIEWS
s the B.C. Liberal government spends millions on an international brand campaign with the recycled slogan “Super, Natural B.C.,” another brand identity has spread across Canada. This one’s unintentional. It hit a new peak last week with the arrival of two young men from Saskatchewan who were given one-way tickets to Vancouver and Victoria by typically burdened social services ministry staff in North Battleford. Sorting through the blizzard of soothing sound bites and sympathetic TV clips, a clearer picture emerges. In his initial interview with the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, Charles NeilCurly, at 23 the elder of the two, said he decided to head west when shelter staff told him his time had run out and he asked for bus tickets to British Columbia. “When they asked if I had a place to go, I just said, ‘yeah’,” Neil-Curly said. “I was going to the next homeless shelter anyway.” Transients and panhandlers aren’t the only ones who say whatever they figure will get them through another day.

end the camp. “They’re not actually all that transitional,” Coleman replied. “We’ll take Mount Edwards through a zoning process. We’ve got about 100 beds there. We’ve bought the building so it’s hardly transitional. We’ve permanently done that.” Fast forward to March 11. The 38 Mount Edwards spaces are full, another 40 rooms and camping spaces at a former youth custody centre are almost full, and the province applies for a court order to clear the Victoria camp. A representative of the advocacy group Together Against Poverty Society goes on local radio to pledge legal support for the campers. How many are there now? At least 100, he says. Meanwhile in Maple Ridge, where the “homeless” problem is all fixed, Coleman has just extended temporary shelter funding and paid $5.5 million for a 61-room motel to fix it some more.

Suspected shoplifter prompts robbery call KAMLOOPS - A man was arrested in downtown Kamloops on Saturday (March 12) morning when a suspected shoplifting spree morphed into a robbery investigation. Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Karen Delorey said a man entered the 7-Eleven store at Seymour Street and Sixth Avenue at about 7:50 a.m. and began grabbing items from shelves and hiding them, making the clerk feel it was a theft happening. “When confronted by the store employee, the male indicated that he had a gun in his pocket,” Delorey said. “The male then fled the scene with the store property in hand.” No weapon was seen by the store employee and no injuries were received. Officers were called and arrived within minutes. They arrested a suspect nearby based on descriptions given by the store employee and a witness. Delorey said no weapon was recovered. Three schools chosen for closure in Okanagan PENTICTON - It was while they were finalizing the decision to close three schools in the Okanagan Skaha School District that a small voice called out into the quiet of the auditorium. “You’re doing the wrong thing.” Judging by the applause from the audience, it was a sentiment shared by many. Emotions ran high throughout the two-hour meeting, with some of the trustees coming close to tears as they worked through 10 options, and settled on closing McNicoll Park Middle School in Penticton, Trout Creek Elementary in Summerland and West Bench Elementary School. All three will close as of July 1, 2016. The school district has faced budget shortfalls for several years and expects to see them for some years into the future until enrolment begins to climb again. In this case, the district is expecting to see a $1.025 million shortfall next year. Though the three closures are expected to save the school district roughly $1.187 million, board chair Linda van Alphen wasn’t prepared to say whether closing these three schools was enough, or whether the board might have to consider other changes in coming years.

Free Press
The 100 Mile House & District Figure Skating Club glided to the end of the season with their Year End Finale at the Canlan Ice Sports Arena on March 5. It was a wonderful day, says club president Danyelle Howard. It was the day the skaters could show off their moves to their parents and peers. They had a lot of fun.” The skaters performed their solos and team manoeuvres in front of spectators before gathering in the lobby for a pot-luck lunch and awards. The club has grown a lot over the year, says Howard. They have 71 members aged five to 18 years.
The 100 Mile House Wrangler will be in Summerland for game 3 and 4 of the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference Playoff Championship on March 18 and 19. If necessary, game 5 will be in 100 Mile on March 21; game 6 will be in Summerland; and game 7 will be back in 100 Mile House. The puck drops at 7 p.m. for all games.

Madeline Martin, left, and Jordyn Karl skated a bright, happy and fun duet during the local skating club’s Year End Finale at the arena in the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on March 5.
There are three programs boys and girls can join: CanSkate for beginners aged five-11; STARSkate, figure skating; and a newer program CanPowerSkate – skating skills for hockey players. CanSkate is really for any child wanting to learn to skate, Howard says, adding if there is an older child who is uncomfortable with skating with the younger kids we usually take them on the ice for private time. “We had a very successful year. It’s the most skaters we’ve had in a very long time, and the club did a wonderful job with fundraising. “We are so grateful for all
the donations and appreciate the community’s help. The funds raised go towards buying equipment for the club, having awards and special things for the skaters, and pays for ice time, which helps keep the registration costs down.” Registration for the club usually begins in August, with the season starting in September. The club is holding its annual general meeting at the Lion’s Den at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on April 6, at 5:30 p.m. For more information, call 250-395-1842 and leave message or e-mail 100milefigureskatingclub@gmail. com.
Wranglers taking on Summerland for conference finals Ken Alexander Free Press
The 100 Mile House Wranglers received the Doug Birks Division Playoff Championship banner on March 16 before the puck dropped at 7 p.m. for the opening game of the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference Championships. The Wranglers did what they had to do at home on March 15; they beat the only team they didn’t beat in the regular season. They knocked off the Summerland Steam 3-2 on another big goal by hometown product Cole Zimmerman
(Michael Lynch, Brett Harris) at 9:25 of the second overtime period. The game was a run-and-gun contest with both teams applying extended pressure for their opponents end of the ice. There was a lot of crashing and banging with the Wranglers taking no prisoners whether it was along the boards or in the open ice. Going into the game, coach Dale Hladun said the Summerland Steam are similar to the Wranglers in that they are a big, physical team, with a couple of guys at six-foot-five and six-foot-six. However, Hladun said he believes
the 100 Mile goaltender tandem of Zane Steeves and Adam Derochie has the edge of the Steam goalies. “I think we match up pretty well with them. I sense the series could go six or seven games.” He noted one advantage for the Wranglers is they are used to travelling for games, while Summerland and other Okanagan teams don’t have to travel very far to play. “I think that will help us a bit.” Hladun added the Steam have three game-breakers in Jack Mills, Wyatt Gale and Braden Eliuk. The coach noted the Wranglers “score by committee” and it seems
every night it’s somebody different providing the scoring punch. “We’re a difficult team because teams wonder, ‘who are their stars’. We are deep [in scoring].” After the couple of days extra rest we got, he said the fans are going to see a whole different team. “We’re relatively healthy for playoffs. They’re not 100 per cent – there’s a limp and an ache and pain – but overall, they can play minutes so we’re alright.” Noting this will be a different series than the one against Chase, Continued on A20

Wranglers win division title playoffs in six games
Ken Alexander
Game 6 Hladun made a couple of changes for game 6 in Chase that produced golden results. His first decision was to start Adam Derochie to give Zane Steeves, who had been outstanding during the series, a rest. “I felt if the series did go seven games, I wanted to make sure Zane Steeves was very rested. He’s been such a huge part of our run that I didn’t want to wear him out if there was a game 7 because we were going to need him leading the charge for us. “And we had full confidence in Derochie and he needed a game and we needed to get him into a game."

The 100 Mile House Wranglers will see another banner on display after knocking off the Chase Heat 2-1 in Chase to clinch the Doug Birks Division playoff title in game 6 on March 11. However, fans were nervous after the Wranglers were significantly out-played and shutout 4-0 by a desperate Heat squad in 100 Mile House in game 5 the night before. Coach Dale Hladun says he wasn’t happy with the team effort in the March 10 game. “Full kudos to Chase; that’s a good club. Their power play is dangerous and we’ve been managing to kill off a lot of penalties against them, but they were bound to get few in the net and sure enough they got two that game.” Hladun says his boys seemed to be getting mentally tired and were making mistakes in the back end. “The pace Chase initiated... they deserved to win. “In a weird way, that game may have set us up for the mental toughness and focus we had for the next game.”

Wrangler goalie Zane Steeves stopped a lot of rubber in the 4-0 loss to the Chase Heat and many of those saves came on quality scoring opportunities in game 5 at home on March 10. Most of the Wranglers had a tough time keeping up with the pace set by the Heat players, as they charged the net wave after wave.
and to [no one's] surprise, he stood on his head and was the game star. “He’s such a breath of fresh air for us and such a hard-working kid.” Hladun says Chase had a good tempo and got a goal in the first period, so he decided to move Michael Lynch into the back end at the start of the second period to
give the defensive corps a seven-man rotation. “Our D has been working so hard and they’re pretty beat up and banged ... they’re tired and sore, and when you’re tired and sore, you make mental mistakes. “So, by adding an extra defenceman like Lynch, who can carry the puck out of our end
and move the puck out, and rotating him in, just gave some life to all our boys in the back end. I think Michael turned the game around for us.” He notes Lynch set up both Wrangler goals. Meanwhile, Williams Lake product Justin Bond scored both goals in the third period: tying goal at 16:57 with the assist going to
Lynch; and 12:32 on the power play with Lynch and Ryan Friesen getting the helpers. Hladun says the sixfoot-one 175-pound forward is a pure scorer. Noting a lot of different guys are scoring goals in important games, the coach says, “there’s Justin Bond stepping up to be a biggame scorer.”

Mt. Tim launches season pass sale
A19
New general manager busy on north-facing mountain
Heather Nelson Free Press
Mt. Timothy Ski Area’s new general manager Caroline Sherrer has more than 20 years in the ski industry and moved here from her last position in Valemount. The first hill she worked at was a community ski hill that
Sherrer says prompted her to take the position at Mt. Timothy, which is near Lac la Hache. Starting at the end of November, Sherrer says she hasn’t had time to get to know a lot of people in the area. “Everyone is very welcoming. I didn’t know anyone when I moved here, and am looking forward to meeting
more people. “It was a good snow year; we’ve been pretty happy.” On March 11, Mt. Timothy launched its annual spring season pass sale, but with a twist. Instead of setting price increases based on a specific date, season passes will be available on a first come, first serve basis. Once a pre-
set amount of passes are sold at the least expensive amount, the price will increase to the next tier, Sherrer explains. “The quantity based approach is used when booking airline tickets and we are eager to try new things. “We are hopeful that this will encourage our guests to purchase their season passes early to ensure the best price while providing us with some much needed capital to reinvest into the ski hill this summer.” Mt. Timothy will also be offering a new prod-
uct, a corporate season pass which is transferrable and can be shared. Season passes and more information are available online from Mt. Timothy’s cloud store at http://ski timothy.ltibooking.com or at Mt. Timothy’s pro shop until close of season on March 28. For more information on the planned events, contact Mt. Timothy at 250-396-4095, or visit the website at www.skiitimothy.com. Mt. Timothy’s spring hours are in effect: 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Thursday to Monday.

Message: be more than a bystander BC Lions fullback Rolly Lumbala and guard T-Dre Player gave a powerful message to the Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) students on March 8. Lumbala and Player stopped at PSO with their presentation on the ‘More Than a Bystander’ program, which is a discussion about preventing and ending violence and abuse against women and girls. More Than a Bystander is intended to break the silence surrounding violence against women and girls by providing tools, language and practical ideas about how to be more than a bystander. Lumbala and Player explained how to speak up and how to communicate that violence and abuse is not accept-
The
able. The Lions teammates stressed the importance of being a leader and to speak up when they witness any type of abuse against women, whether it is verbal, physical or psychological. After the presentation, some 70 students continued the discussion with Lumbala and Player, who said it was one of the largest break-out groups they’d dealt with and they were very pleased they made the stop on the way to Williams Lake. The Be More Than a Bystander program is an initiative between the Ending Violence Association of B.C. and the BC Lions.

Lillian Mary
June 3, 1954– March 7, 2016
July 29, 1927 – March 08, 2016
Our family and friends grieve the sudden passing of Martin Daniel Regan. Martin was born in Salford Manchester, England and came to BC with his mother Rita, father Brian Daniel (both deceased), brother Joseph, sister Stella Graves (Richard) in 1957. They settled on Vancouver Island where brothers Brendan and Sean (both deceased) and sisters Lucy Strachan and Angela Law (Bill) were born. He is also survived by his brother in law Mark Strachan, 3 nieces, 6 nephews, 2 grand nieces and 2 grand nieces/nephews on the way. Martin attended Carihi Secondary School in Campbell River, was a salmon sport fishing guide at 15 and played in a rock band. After graduation he spent time mining, then signal maintaining for the CNR. He returned to the coast to guide and became owner and operator of Dent Island Lodge near Stuart Island with Kate, his wife of 33 years, and in 1991 they welcomed their beloved son, Conor, into their lives. He participated in the Stuart Island Community Association, community salmon enhancement projects and sat on the local forestry committee. In 1997 they left for drier, sunnier climes and a career in commercial truck driving and, in 1999, bought a farm at Buffalo Creek BC, where he continued to drive and farm until his death. Martin was a shy man who loved God, his family and the many people who entered and left his presence and he loved everything about his farm. His other abiding love was music. He enjoyed traditional country, Americana and a smattering of folk but he said the “musicianship, drive and connection between the heart and the land made bluegrass (his) favourite”. He played several instruments and strongly supported Conor and then Kate in their musical adventures. He will be sadly missed. A funeral mass will be held at 11 a.m. at St Jude Catholic Church, 5691 Horse Lake Road in 100 Mile House. Burial will take place after mass in the 100 Mile House Cemetery and a reception will follow at St Jude Hall downstairs in the church. Memorial Donations can be make in Martin’s memory to either www.heart and stroke bc.ca or Development and Peace - www.devp.org 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements 250-395-3243.

Lillian Mary Sims, nee Hitchcock, was born at home on July 29, 1927 in Ortonville, New Brunswick to Victor Hitchcock & Ethel (nee Waldron). Lillian is survived by her sister Katherine and brother Stirling, son, Bill (Laraine) daughters, Lee, Roline, Lois (Wayne), Dawn (Boris) and Cherrie, numerous grandchildren, greats and great greats. She is predeceased by sisters, Mildred, Muriel, Charlotte as well as brothers Jasper and Victor. Lillian was working with children in an Ottawa orphanage when she met the love of her life, Rollins Dean Sims. They were married on Aug. 12, 1950. Soon afterward, Rollins was transferred with the RCAF to a posting in Whitehorse, Yukon, where they resided until the fall of 1954 when Rollins was transferred to Metz, France. In 1951, at the age of five, Rollins’ son William came to live with them. Lillian soon realized she loved him as one of her own. While staying with her mother in Ortonville, N.B, her first daughter, Lee, was born in Oct. 1954. Lillian then sailed to France with William and Lee to join Rollins. Lillian and her family sailed home to Canada on June 6, 1956 to a new RCAF posting in Trenton, Ontario, living in both Exeter and Seaforth, before being transferred to St. Jean, Quebec in the summer of 1957. Lillian moved many times over the years, but never complained, always supportive of her husband’s RCAF career. Lillian’s second daughter, Roline, was born in Lachine, Que. in Oct. 1957 and then, Lois in Lachine in Aug. 1959. Lillian never worked outside of the home, however, she relished her role of a loving mother, always open to any communication with her children. She taught all of them the art of unconditional love. The summer of 1965 brought the last RCAF transfer for Rollins to ‘very chilly’ Cold Lake, Alberta, where Dawn was born in Nov. 1965. Rollins finally retired to private life in the summer of 1966 and the family moved to Sidney, B.C. In 1969, they moved to 100 Mile House, B.C. The family resided in Gateway near 100 Mile House where they welcomed the birth of, Cherrie, their fifth daughter, in Nov. 1969. Shortly thereafter, in the spring of 1971, Lillian and Rollins bought a ranch in Falkland, B.C. where they began their ranching years. While living in Falkland, Lillian’s last daughter, Nyra-Lynn, was welcomed in Oct. 1972. The Falkland ranch was sold and Lillian was off yet again to a new home and ranch near Burns Lake, B.C. in the autumn of 1973. Tragedy struck the family the following spring when Nyra-Lynn suddenly passed away in May of 1974. In 1980 some of the family started to leave home and because of Rollins’ declining health, Lillian and Rollins moved back to 100 Mile House to be closer to family. They purchased a parcel of land near Forest Grove and with the help of family built a new home and lived there very happily. After the passing of Rollins in Jan. 1987, Lillian remained on the property alone, chopping wood and caring for pets until she moved into a new home at 103 Mile in 1993. Finally, after many years of having the life of a bonafide gypsy, Lillian was settled and remained in the same house until her passing on March 8, 2016. While being in her 103 Mile Lake home for 23 years, Lillian enjoyed her growing family which includes a number of great great grandchildren. For many years, Lillian valued her many visits from family and friends, which included several wonderful people from home care who made her final years both very joyful and meaningful. She loved playing Chinese Checkers with the home support people, and not just because she won 90% of the time!! When her grandchildren came to visit, they immediately made tea, so that Lillian could have the pleasure of reading thier tea leaves. Lillian will be fondly remembered for her sharp wit, her amazing memory for dates and details, and for her wildly humorous sayings. Her large family was her focus, and her loving ways and generosity of attention her gifts. She was a true Matriarch!

Lone Butte Historical Association t e e w S o -S h O celebrating 30th anniversary
joneslabour@bcinternet.net
The Lone Butte Historical Association (LBHA) is celebrating it’s 30th anniversary this year. It was incorporated as a society and registered charity on Feb. 17, 1986. At the time, the old leaning water tower had to be saved or demolished for safety concerns. Fortunately, the residents of Lone Butte formed the society and worked hard to preserve this piece of history for future generations, as a heritage park and rest station. In later years, the LBHA was instrumental in relocating and restoring the Willowford School House (WSH) to the Horse Lake Elementary School property. The LBHA does the upkeep of the WSH, as well as the Lone Butte Pioneer Cemetery. Most recently, the society has been busy with renovations to the Alice Singleton Heritage House (ASHH) with the original Defunbunker Fallout shelter. The society had its first meeting of the year on March 8 at the ASHH and invites all interested residents to attend the meetings held the third Wednesday night of the month at 7 p.m. The LBHA needs help to build up the new Lone Butte Museum in the old church/hospital section of the ASHH. Flea market The first Lone Butte Flea Market of the year, will be held at the Lone Butte Community Hall (LBCH) on April 2 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Flea market has toys, crafts, collectibles, glassware, books,

Burning: be prepared for weather changes
Given the current dry conditions, the Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) is encouraging the public to exercise caution with any outdoor burning activities in the coming weeks. While FireSmart activities are encouraged at this time of year to reduce the risk of wildfires on private property, there is a safe way to conduct backyard burning. Anyone wishing to light an open fire must watch for changing weather conditions
and follow all burning regulations in order to reduce the number of preventable wildfires. Even the spring season can present significant fire risks. The grass and small shrub layer is drying out quickly at lower elevations and in valley bottoms, due to increased temperatures, lack of precipitation and wind. Fires in these situations can spread very rapidly, especially when driven by
wind. The public is also advised that restrictions on backyard burning and industrial burning may come into effect earlier than usual in the region this year. Homeowners and industry personnel are encouraged to visit the BC Wildfire Service website at www.bcwildfire. ca/Prevention to consult the Homeowner’s FireSmart Manual and take the following precautions: • Ensure enough people,
water and tools are on hand to control the fire and prevent it from escaping. • Do not burn during windy conditions. Weather conditions can change quickly and the wind may carry embers to other combustible material and start new fires. • Create a fireguard at least one metre around the planned fire site by clearing away twigs, grass, leaves and other combustible material. • Never leave a fire unat-
tended. • Make sure that your fire is completely extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before you leave the area for any length of time. Before conducting a burn, check with your local fire department, municipality or regional district to check if there are any open burning restrictions or bylaws in effect. If you are planning to burn a pile larger than two metres high by three metres wide,
A23
burn more than two piles of any size, or are conducting a grass burn over 0.2 hectares (Category 3 fires), you must obtain a burn registration number ahead of time by calling 1-888-797-1717. Always check the venting conditions before conducting an open burn. If venting conditions are rated “poor” or “fair”, open burning is restricted. The venting index can be found at: http://www. env.gov.bc.ca/epd/epdpa/ venting/venting.html

Spray paint projects you just HAVE to try Sure, you can paint picture frames or freshen up that mirror you found at a yard sale. But what about lighting fixtures, fabric and furniture - did you know those can be spray painted, too? Thanks to the different formulations designed for metal, plastic, wood, wicker and more, you can find a spray paint for just about every medium. No brushes or trays to clean and it’s easier to get light, even coverage. Here are seven spray paint projects that will get you excited about holding down the nozzle A custom chandelier. Pick up a beat-up bronze beauty at a flea market and modernize it with a fresh coat of paint. It won’t look like the same light fixture, we promise. Our favourite chandelier shades are soft aqua, creamy yellow or white, or a punchy shade of coral or teal.

Striped curtains. Yes, you really can use spray paint on fabric. Mark off your stripes with pieces of painter’s tape, cover the areas you don’t want to paint with plastic, tape it down well and spray your stripes with a few light coats. Remove the tape right away and you should have crisp stripes on your curtains.
Dipped decor. Although it’s called a “dipped” look, these vases were sectioned off with painter’s tape (and a bit of plastic wrap) and sprayed with a beautiful shade of gold. You can “dip” jars, bottles, vases, planters and just about anything else in your casa.
Shiny planting pots. Gold accessories are simple and classic and you can make them yourself with inexpensive juice glasses, painter’s tape and a can of gold spray paint. Spray the inside of the glasses

Time is running out on Ice-Off Raffle Folks have until March 21 to buy a ticket for the108 Mile Lions annual Ice-Off Raffle. The M.V. Lion is anchored off the 108 Heritage Site end of the 108 Mile Lake. Tickets are $2 each for a chance to win some great prizes by guessing the date and time the flag will go up the mast. Prizes are awarded for the closest guess to the date, hour, minute and second the anchor goes through the ice. There are additional prizes for the next-best guesses. The funds raised help the Lions donate to worthy causes that benefit many area people. When the anchor falls through the ice, it trips the clock and immediately sends the flag up the mast, signalling someone is about to win the contest. Prizes include: $200 cash, 108 Lions; 18-hole golf pass, 108 Resort; $35 gift package, 108 Mile Esso; two men’s hair cuts from Collette and Hope at Collette’s Barber Shop; $20 gift package, Century Home Hardware; and a $40 gift package, 108 Building Supply. The tickets are available at 108 Mile Esso, 108 Mile Supermarket, Collette’s Barbershop, Lac la Hache Bakery, Lac la Hache Market, Hungry Bear Restaurant, or by calling Lion member Ted Zwolak at 250-791-6791.

Easter Bunny is coming to 100 Mile March 27
Free community event being hosted by Free Press and Canlan Ice Sports Heather Nelson Free Press
On Easter Sunday (March 27), the Easter bunny will have scattered and hidden eggs at Lumberman’s Park ball field next to the arena in the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Airport Road in 100 Mile House. Children are invited to bring their baskets to this free community event and find as many treats as they can. There are times set for two different age groups: 11:30 a.m. for
children up to six years old; and noon for children seven to 12 years. This is the first year the 100 Mile House Free Press and Canlan Ice Sports are holding the Easter Egg Hunt. The collaboration is a good fit between two communit y-minde d businesses, Free Press publisher Martina Dopf says, adding they want this to be an annual event. “I think this will be a fantastic event. Besides chocolate, of course, there are various other prizes for the kids. “There are coloured tickets inside some of the plastic eggs, which can be turned in for the grand prizes.” Josh Dickerson, Laura Albert, and Deanna Deacon of Canlan Ice Sports have been working hard to make the day great for the children. Things are going well,
says Albert. “We’ve been working on getting the candy and prizes for the kids and a bunny rabbit will be h e re , too.
We will need volunteers [on March 27], so if anyon e would like to help, please give us a call.” T h e business community is helping out t re m e n d ou s l y with the day, says Albert. Save-OnFoods and Safeway are donating the candy, and Regency Chrysler i s donating the prizes for both age groups. “ U p
to this point, we also have Centennial Law, Borgos’ Sport Shack, Our Kitchen Corner, C a r i b o o R a d i o. c om , LifeCycle Financial, and Pharmasave donating to our free community event, says Dopf. “It’s still early and I expect more of our local businesses will

come forward.” If folks over-indulge in the chocolate treats, the 100 Mile Lions will be on hand with a hotdog concession. Children up to 12 years old get a free hotdog and juice or water. Parents pay $2 for a hotdog and $1 for water
and juice. Country Prime Meats is sponsoring a free skate at the arena after the egg hunt – from 1:15 to 2:45 p.m. For more information or to help out, call Albert, Deacon or Dickerson at 250395-1353, or Dopf at 250-395-2219.

One year ago it broke my heart to lose you, you did not go alone for part of me went with you. The day you left your home you left me beautiful memories. Your love is still my guide, and though I cannot see you you are always at my side. Our chain is broken and nothing seems the same, as we are called one by one our chain will link again.
Oh how I miss you ~ Love, Mum

Co-operative spokesperson Rob Diether. “We are anticipating another great show this year.� With the rising cost of vegetables, there may be a lot more people taking up growing their own vegetables, Diether notes. “This area has challenges in terms of elevation and weather, but the right crops, including lettuce and broccoli, do very well.� He adds sellers of all things “gardening and outdoorsy� will be on hand, as well as information booths and experienced gardeners who will offer free advice to help promote local food security. There will be a silent auction and a garage sale full of gardening, farming and cooking items, Diether says. “We are calling on people to donate to our silent auction, but keeping them to gardening,
outdoor, and kitchen or cooking items.� Admittance is by a suggested $2 donation at the door.

Reduce standby power consumption • Did you know that many electronic devices, such as computers, gaming units and even microwave ovens, use power even when they are not turned on? Although the standby mode consumes less electricity for most devices, it still adds up to at least five per cent of an electricity bill. • Make sure to fully turn off all electronics when they are not in use. A convenient way to do this is by plug-
ging all your home entertainment and office equipment into an easily accessible power cord and switching it off when these devices are not in use. • Since chargers continue to draw power even when the device being charged is removed, remember to unplug them when they aren’t being used. If you regularly use a number of chargers, consider creating a “charging station” where all of the chargers are plugged into a single power bar.
Be smart and save energy
The following are some simple tips to help reduce your energy costs and the impact of your winter activities on the environment.
Look for these labels • The EnerGuide label compares a product’s energy performance with others in its class. Read up on the energy usage and efficiency ratings of your household appliances. Canada’s Energy Efficiency Regulations make these labels mandatory for clothes dryers, dishwashers, freezers and other products. • The ENERGY STAR® symbol indicates a product meets or exceeds high efficiency standards. Currently, more than 70 product types are eligible for ENERGY STAR-certification in Canada, and a certified model typically uses 20 to 30 per cent less energy than other regular models.
• The ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient is an annual designation awarded to the best of the best: it identifies models that rank at the very top of ENERGY STAR-certified models in select product categories in the current calendar year. See a list of products designated ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2015. Choosing ENERGY STAR Most Efficient products for your winter needs will save energy and money.
Minor injuries in collision
In the early evening of Feb. 16, 100 Mile House RCMP and rescue crews were dispatched to a motor vehicle accident (MVI) on Highway 97 at the junction of Canim-Hendrix Lake Road between a Ford F350 and a Chevy Suburban. The intersection was partially closed for around two hours. Two people suffered minor injuries and were taken to 100 Mile District
General Hospital where they were treated and released. So far, the investigation into the MVI has revealed the male driver of the Chevy Suburban failed to stop for a red light when travelling north on Highway 97 and hit the driver’s side of the Ford F350. The investigation is ongoing as to whether alcohol and/or drugs are additional contributing factors.
