Numerous forestindustry stakeholders seized the opportunity to appear before the Special Committee on Timber Supply at its public hearing in 100 Mile House on July 5. It was standing-roomonly when presenters and member of the public to listen to the discussion on potential methods, impacts and effects of managing the impending timber supply shortages caused by mountain pine beetle devastation. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, who sits on the committee, said she has heard a common theme in most of the public hearings to date. “Communities want to be engaged, community support has been strong for the existing land-use plans and very strong for not making any changes to [those]. “People are not willing to have short-term gain for long-term pain.” Committee chair

John Rustad said he’d like to clear up the public perception that the committee is intending on “logging to the last stick and clear cutting the whole thing,” and devastating the remaining Crown forests in 10 to 20 years. “One of the key mandates of the committee is to look at not just the mid-term supply, and how to mitigate that, but how you manage it in the long term. “Whatever decisions come forward from this [series of province-wide meetings] need to be sustainable. And I think we’ve heard that from everybody.” Resorts seek restraint The presenting stakeholders in the 100 Mile timber supply area (TSA) included tourism representative Bill Vanes of the West Chilcotin Tourism Association, who is also heavily involved with the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association.

Waterfalls trail getting upgrade, bridges replaced Ken Alexander Free Press

The waterfalls trail through Centennial Park is going to get some upgrades and the bridges are going to be replaced. District of 100 Mile House operations director Garry Laursen says the existing main trail, which is above the falls and behind the hospital, will be recapped, widened and generally

improved from the top half to two-thirds of the way down. The more intensive trail improvements will take place where it becomes muddy, with water seeping out of the ground and running over part of the trail surface. Laursen says this area has to be ditched and culverted with a general drainage and trail improvement. District operations supervisor Kevin

Dicken explains they will be using geotextile fabric in the trail reconstruction to help support the new construction materials and keep them in place to improve the longevity of the trail surface. “Geotextiles are permeable fabrics, which, when used in association with soil, have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect, or See FALLS… page A5

SHORT TA K E S Carbon tax review The B.C. Liberal government is seeking written submissions on the carbon tax to help inform the comprehensive review announced with Budget 2012. The last scheduled increase in the carbon tax went into effect July 1. The government announced this past February the review would cover all aspects of the carbon tax, including revenue neutrality, and will consider the effect of the tax on the competitiveness of British Columbia businesses, such as those in the agriculture sector, and in particular, B.C. food producers. Written submissions can be made to the finance minister by Aug. 31 for consideration for the 2013 budget process. To find out more about our carbon tax initiative and how it’s working for the B.C.

Mushers NTERTAINMENT presented with Sled Dog Code of Practice Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

In an effort to familiarize mushers with the new code, Barker will be giving several presentations throughout British Columbia in the coming months. Recently, she was in Kimberly to make the first presentation, which she said was well received, and others are planned for June in Quesnel and in Kamloops in July.

When sled dogs were put down en-mass at Whistler, following the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games, it created public outrage. It also prompted the creation of the Ministry of Agriculture Sled Dog Code of Practice which was released in February 2012 and will go into effect in It gives them a standard, October 2012. so they know what’s A group required.” of 15 people Dr. Pam Barker from government, the academic community, animal Barker says the majorwelfare advocacy, vet- ity of sled dog owners are erinarians and industry already operating within formed The Sled Dog the specified standards Standard of Care Working and the official code of Group to develop the code practice should work to and among them was 100 elevate the level of care Mile House veterinarian given by people who are sled dog owner and racer not.

Barker says a few items regarding record-keeping might be new to sled

dog owners. In general, the regulation establishes legal requirements, including containment, health and working conditions. She adds the meetings are not mandatory, but the committee felt it was important to get the information directly to mushers and give them

the opportunity to ask questions and have their concerns addressed. The code will be coming up for review early in 2013. The Sled Dog Code of Practice can be viewed on the Internet at www. gov.bc.ca/agri/down/ sled_dog_code_of_prac tice.pdf.

Don’t let the timber go up in smoke Carole Rooney Free Press

Cariboo Regional District (CRD) and District of 100 Mile House representatives echoed similar sentiments in separate presentations made before the Special Committee on Timber Supply. At the public hearing in 100 Mile House on July 5, both local governments stated they do not support re-opening the Cariboo Chilcotin Land Use Plan. They would like the committee to determine how to reduce the Annual Allowable Cut based on science, consider tourism and other stakeholders’ concerns and leave the decisions in the hands of the province’s chief forester, and not politicians. The local leaders also want the provincial government to promptly update the current inventory and undertake detailed growth and yield analy-

ses to increase opportunities for fibre production. CRD chair Al Richmond says decisions for what creates healthy and sustainable forests for British Columbia should be responsive, rather than reactive or “over-reactive.” “We’re concerned the decision’s going to be made strictly based on economic values and we think there’s an ability to ... make it sustainable over the longer period of time.” 100 Mile Mayor Mitch Campsall says “everything” has to reflect the long-term, and the district supports silviculture activities now to offset present work shortages and future timber shortages. The chief forester should continue to have the final say in decisions based on scientific data, he adds. “Politicians are the last ones who should be changing the timber supply.”

Extensive logging around a small lake with a resort on it can “devastate” that business, Campsall notes. “There’s got to be respect for the tourism operators; there’s also got to be respect for the environment ... all of that’s go to be put in parcel.” However, Richmond says the CRD believes the committee should review the strategies and the achievements of the land-use plan’s original objectives had set out to do. “Not by opening the whole plan up, but by looking to see how we’ve done.” He explains that certain salvage logging licences granted specifically for dealing with beetle-infested pine are in stands where two-thirds is green, nonpine timber. “In some cases, the green stuff has been taken out in salvage logging, but the dry stuff still winds up on the pile.... Up to

30 per cent of the stuff we touch when we go into the stand to do harvesting is left as waste.” Even within close range of highways, it typically isn’t economical to get that fibre out, he notes, so incentives, such as reduced stumpage fees, are needed to get that fibre out of the forest and into viable use. Says Campsall: “There’s enough fibre being burnt and left in the bush in our timber supply area to [supply] all the fibre that Ainsworth needs for the OSB plant.” There will be negative impacts from addressing timber supply shortages, the mayor notes, and many people, industries and communities will be affected. “Yeah, we need jobs, but we also need sustainability. We could go in there and log the bush to death, log it all in five years, and then we’ve no jobs [left] anymore. That’s not the game we want to play.”

Farm classification assessments to be amended Carole Rooney Free Press

The B.C. Liberal government is implementing changes to farm assessments that will benefit many agricultural operations in the South Cariboo and across the province. Farmers who are retiring, improving farm outbuildings, providing certain nonclassifying products or who simply need to reduce their administrative paperwork time may see positive modifications to their provincial taxation beginning in the 2013 Assessment Roll. Acting on results of the ongoing Farm Assessment Review

Panel and recent legislative and regulatory amendments, the province will implement four more panel recommendations. These include allowing farm classifications to be extended for retired farmers’ home sites and dwellings within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) if their farms stay in production. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says she’s “happy” to see these changes, as it’s “tough enough” to survive in agriculture under the ongoing effects of weather, market-driven pricing and escalating costs, unless the producer is “super, super big.” She explains the

Peter Bonter dwelling classifications would apply to retiring farmer-owners in the ALR with at least 20 years of farm classification under their belts who continue to live on site and then lease it out, hire help or have family members continue production on the land. “The change in rules will allow farmers to remain in their long-term residences ... and will likely vary

from reduced taxes from about $300 in rural taxation areas to about $2,000 in areas of high land values.” South Cariboo C a t t l e m e n ’ s Association (SCCA) president Peter Bonter says the overall changes stemming from the review should benefit area producers. Allowing retiring farmers to hang on to their farm status is “a real plus” and will help preserve agricultural lands and operations into the future. “The fact is we’re getting older and we don’t really want to leave our land base. “There may be areas where the loss of small family farms might not impact as much, but here, that’s huge, [and it’s] what built this country.” Jaime Law, who is BC Cattlemen’s

Association director for the SCCA and the Bridge Lake Livestock Association president, says he agrees the changes are generally good for area producers. “If you’re a retired farmer and you’ve got to pay $15,000 in taxes, there are people who might make the decision, ‘OK I’ve got to sell the farm’. This way, they could pass it to their grandchild and the taxes could stay low.” Other assessment adjustments include: increasing the tax exemption limit on improved farm outbuildings; matching the farm income reporting period to that of income tax reporting period; and

adding horse stud services, breeding products and syrup products as qualifying agricultural products. While some of these new assessment amendments will have minimal impacts locally, Law says every bit helps. “In any business, the less administrative paperwork you have the better. It’s

positive that government is listening to producers’ concerns, which is where these have come from.” Bonter adds the panel review was a beneficial exercise. “They now have a much better idea of what really impacts us as producers, and for all intents and purposes, I think that’s serving us well at this point.”

Communities in Bloom on the final stretch

Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Local business owners and residents have been showing strong support for this year’s Communities in Bloom (CiB) initiative in 100 Mile House, and their efforts will soon be rewarded. Until July 14, the CiB Community Cruzer will be dropping in on businesses, which have spruced up their surroundings, and presenting certificates of participation to recognize their contribution. Residences will also be judged July 14, but by members of the 100 Mile Garden Club who will visit each entrant. Awards will be given in the categories of Best Herb/ Vegetable Garden; Best Xeriscape; Best Backyard Overall; Best Curb Appeal; Tidiest Block; and Best Overall. The results will be revealed July 16 at a free community

barbecue at 100 Mile Community Hall from 5:30 to 7 p.m. There will be free hotdogs, hamburgers and drinks for all who attend. During the event, the CiB judges will be introduced, and on the following day, they will be out in the community, assessing it for a bloom rating of one to five blooms. Their findings won’t be known until September, when results for all British Columbia communities involved in this year’s event will be announced at the provincial CiB awards ceremony in Kelowna. Local CiB spokesperson Angela Cole says she is looking forward to attending the provincial event. “Each participating town will be showcased and we’ll be able to see what other communities have done. It’s very helpful and great for tourism.” Cole is more than satisfied with the overall public response in 100 Mile this year. “We see lots of new things happening. It seems that residents

are really paying attention and we’ve seen some new businesses take part.” One participant is the local Chevron station, which put out a challenge to all busi-

nesses on Cariboo Highway 97 to register in any of the business categories of Most Appealing Entrance; Best Outdoor Floral Display; and Tidiest Property.

The 100 Mile House Lions Club has also become involved by cleaning out the gardens at Parkside Art Gallery. The club will replant gardens in the near future.

Because there are fish in Bridge Creek, the district had to go through an environmental permitting process and has a sixweek window to get the work done in the creek, which would include the replacement of the bridges and part of the trail. “The tender closes July 18 and it’s usually three to five weeks before any work starts.”

Both bridges leading to, and in front of, the falls are going to be replaced with metal structures, Laursen explains. “They will be built in a truss style with some wood enhancement to make them esthetically pleasing. They will fit nicely with the rest of the trail.”

Canim Lake Band member Don Dixon, left, and band forester John Kalmakoff listened, while Chief Mike Archie addressed the Special Committee on Timber Supply at the well-attended public hearing in 100 Mile House on July 5.

Most in favour of protecting land-use plans TIMBER… from page A1 table, which originally established the Cariboo-Chilcotin Land Use Plan, noted the CCLUP is a “good plan.” With the recent movement to open up more timber harvesting, Vane explained he and most of his associates in tourism are wondering: “When do you stop this? How far do you go? Do we sit down again in 10 years and push a little further?” He added, more thought is needed on how to balance the needs for “wild places” and outdoor recreation with the bottom line for the mills. “If it’s not the pine beetle, it will be something else, that’s nature….

“Maybe there’s another way of cutting just a bit less instead of the [mills’] three shifts/seven days a week.... and, save it for [the people] to enjoy.” First Nations response Canim Lake Band Chief Mike Archie, band member Don Dixon and forester John Kalmakoff also addressed the committee. Dixon said forestry is one of the main economic drivers for its community and the band aspires to become a “much larger” licensee. However, he added the band is convinced the current overall harvest levels must be decreased significantly. “We believe that maintaining the cur-

rent cut level of two million cubic metres a year [for 10 years] was a political decision motivated by the hope that, by then, mining will be able to replace forestry as a primary employer and profit generator in this area.” This degree of allowable cuts would harvest “a significant amount of younger, green wood at levels that we believe are not sustainable.” Dixon said the dead pine should be harvested quickly, but the band expects once the Interior is through the pinebeetle epidemic, the annual allowable cut (AAC) should drop to a pre-beetle level or lower. “We believe it will require only two or three years for 100 Mile House

to be effectively through the epidemic and [that] the AAC should start ramping down now.” Committee pleased Rustad noted the hearing had a “very good turnout.” “There was great participation.

SUMMER SUNSHINE SPECIALS

Sawmills perform risk assessments Carole Rooney Free Press

At least 11 B.C. Interior sawmills had hazardous levels of wood dust a week after WorkSafeBC issued sawdust cleanup and risk assessment orders following two deadly explosions earlier this year. Wo r k S a f e B C reports obtained by media indicate West Fraser’s 100 Mile Lumber mill stood out above the rest as a positive example in having taken action to remove wood dust and improve safety earlier and more efficiently than the majority of the 70 mills inspected. 100 Mile Lumber general manager Peter Andrews says West Fraser is “very committed” to ensuring all its facilities are maintained to a high safety standard. “I’m very pleased with the progress we have made, as we move from general cleanup to pro-actively apply more focus on wood dust prevention and management.” Wo r k S a f e B C inspectors performed follow-up inspections in early May, and the Vancouver Sun report-

ed the results state 11 of the 46 Interior mills that process

Peter Andrews pine-beetle wood had sufficient sawdust remaining to pose an explosion hazard. According to the Lower Mainland paper, WorkSafeBC reported the 100 Mile House mill took proactive measures immediately after the January explosion, including inspections, increasing graveyardand weekend-shift cleanup, evaluating its emergency lighting, response plans and firefighting equipment and initiating experiments with controlling dust with mist. Andrews says the local mill is integrating many projects and initiatives and engaging its employees to make the facility is “among the very best” in terms

of cleanliness, worker safety and emergency preparedness. “I’m proud that we’ve made our sawmill a much safer and healthier place for everyone working here.” The WorkSafeBC edict came the day after an explosion levelled the Lakeland Mills in Prince George on April 23, killing two workers and injuring 24 others. In January, a Burns Lake sawmill exploded and claimed the lives of two employees, with 19 more injured. While the causes of the deadly explosions are not known, sawdust is part of the investigations. Meanwhile, Lakeland Mills recently closed its planer mill temporarily after high levels of methane gas were detected. It reopened last week. 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue chief Darrell Blades also performs local mill safety inspections, and says there “haven’t been too many issues” with dust hazards in this area. “I’ve talked to both of the mills here – even before the latest [explosion] at Lakeland in Prince

George, and they were well aware of the risks of it and they were working on their clean-up programs.” During the annual fire inspections he recently performed, Blades says he didn’t find unusual amounts of sawdust accumulating or other concerns at either local mill, 100 Mile Lumber or Ainsworth Engineered. He notes dust is hazardous, especially when it accumulates in poorly ventilated buildings, so Blades says he hopes all the mills get on board and

clean it up. The fire chief adds he’s pleased WorkSafeBC is requiring mills use a vacuum system wherever possible for sawdust collection. The hazard is all about wood dust particulate size, he explains, and doesn’t involve the larger, regular “sawdust” but rather clouds of fine dust in the air. Blades says the theory is an initial explosion shakes up more loose dust and causes multiple See RISK… page A14

presentations

e were very pleased with the presentations the two local municipal governments gave when the Special Committee on Timber Supply held its public hearing in 100 Mile House on July 5. The staff, administrators and politicians at both the Cariboo Regional District and the District of 100 Mile House obviously put a lot of work – research and input search - into their presentations. They had common threads going through the thoughts, concerns and suggestions they shared with the committee members, including Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. The top suggestion they made, and Mrs. Barnett says it’s one they’ve heard throughout the province, is to tell the B.C. Liberal government not to mess with the landuse plans that are currently in place. This is a wise suggestion because the Cariboo Chilcotin Land Use Plan was a contentious but wellthought-out plan that encompassed all of the input and science available at the time from all of the stakeholders. When the groups got together to form the plan, the government expected them to be finished in 15 months. The land-use plan became so inclusive and so comprehensive that it took almost eight years to complete. The goal was to have a vast area of Crown land that would be “protected” for the sustainability of the flora and fauna that live, flourish and survive in the ecosystems within the plan’s boundaries. So, there was land put aside for old-growth forests, ungulate wintering grounds, grasslands and other uses, including forest harvesting. Obviously, it took a lot of study, science and horsetrading to ensure the stakeholders were willing to sign off on the plan. It may not be perfect, but we would be foolish to allow the baby to be thrown out with the bath water in a panic over timber supply. Our local leaders urged the government representatives to make “science” the basis of the decision-making process. They asked them to update the current inventory to ensure the decisions were responsive and not reactive. They suggested any changes to the Annual Allowable Cut should be made by an independent chief forester and not by politicians. We believe that if anything, decisions should be made that err on the side of sustainability.

Incentive pay ends at CLBC

When I found out last fall that Community Living BC (CLBC) had a variable pay compensation system for senior staff, I immediately directed that incentive-based compensation be terminated as quickly as possible. In a people-first organization like Community Living BC, performance-based targets and measures are simply not appropriate. While these incentives were a legally binding part of each employee’s compensation package at the time of hiring, they did little to motivate focus where it needs to be – on care of individuals with developmental disabilities and support to their families. However, we needed to make this change without ripping up employment contracts – as such action would have potentially resulted in litigation. The board of directors worked to develop a new compensation plan that is much more transparent and doesn’t distract from the agency’s true mandate – care to those with developmental disabilities. The holdback pay aspect has been eliminated, and instead, a three-year average of that portion is being applied to the base salary. Community Living BC will see an overall reduction in compensation paid to senior staff and honour the existing employment contracts, while having a net zero impact on

STEPHANIE CADIEUX

GUEST SHOT the budget. Over the past months, we have taken a number of steps to address the issues affecting Community Living BC, as well as at the broader system of supports for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. A thorough and rigorous review was undertaken in the fall to understand the nature of the problems, and in January, a comprehensive plan, along with an additional $144 million in funding over the next three years, plus $36 million being held in contingency, was announced to improve services and supports for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. Our government is making progress in improving supports for people with developmental disabilities and their families. A new, dedicated Integrated Services Support Team has been established to give people with developmental disabilities and their families a place to turn to for assistance when they have concerns about the services they are receiving. For families with transitioning youth, a minimum of $2,800 annually is now available for respite or

other services, with additional funding and services available to young adults with higher needs. And, we have launched two resources – a call for volunteers for a reference committee and an accessible website – designed to ensure people and their families have the opportunity to be involved. Over the past two months, a series of self-advocate consultations were done throughout the province as part of a broader consultation taking place this year. The reference committee is part of this consultation, and will focus on the bigger picture of how all the 12 recommendations fit together to create an over-arching integrated service delivery model meets the needs of individuals and families. We are taking time this year for public engagement and targeted consultations to ensure the design of the new integrated service delivery system will meet the needs of the individuals and families that we’re working so hard to serve. Regular updates about the progress government is making towards completing all 12 recommendations in the Improving Services to People with Development Disabilities comprehensive plan will be available on the ministry’s website www.sd.gov. bc.ca/pwd/isst.html.

…A9

Expect anotherNTERTAINMENT political backfire To the editor: A significant number of British Columbians voted against the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) because of the deceitful conduct of Gordon Campbell during the last provincial election. No doubt Campbell’s judgment was clouded by the $1.6-billion HST implementation grant the federal government was dangling in front of his face. It is easy to imagine Prime Minister Stephen Harper standing in the shadows whispering, “Take it, Gordon. Take it.” The HST scheme backfired when outraged voters focused their anger on Campbell and his B.C. Liberals. When Campbell was finally compelled to resign, Harper rewarded his accomplice by appointing him High Commissioner in London. The HST shemozzle resulted in an unpopular provincial government desperately searching for some way to retain power. With wide-eyed expectations the BC Liberal Party elected a media star as their new leader. Christy Clark shone brightly for a while, but it soon became apparent her aura was artificial. Her warmth was merely the heat from the TV camera lights reflecting off a well-polished image. The people eventually overturned the HST legislation following a divisive referendum. It has been said those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it. Harper is now trying to sweet-talk the British Columbia government into expediting the northern pipeline project. He is standing in the shadows of course, holding an attaché case filled with petro dollars, whispering, “Take it. Take it!” Arrogance and deception in the name of economic expediency proved disastrous last time. If a B.C. government swallows this quick-buck-bait, Harper’s scheme to fast-track the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project is certain to backfire and British Columbians will get caught up in another divisive political firestorm.

Nuggets from Barlee’s gold pan

VICTORIA – Shortly after word came of the death of British Columbia historian and politician Bill Barlee, my wife searched through her seemingly endless trove of B.C. books and produced half a dozen of his original selfpublished quarterlies, known as Canada West magazine. The earliest one is Winter 1970, where the publisher’s note advises subscription rates were increasing 20 cents per year to $2.95. Subscriptions were up to more than 1,600 and counter sales were increasing, but costs were also up and Barlee refused to accept either display advertising or United States subscriptions. The only colour pages in the issue are high-quality prints of four majestic paintings commissioned for the magazine. Irvine Adams’ scenes of sacred aboriginal sites in the Okanagan-Similkameen include The Gateway to Inkameep, where Barlee remarks: “Today that stream which once teemed with redfish no longer surrenders its once-valued harvest and the perimeter of the desert is gradually being eroded by man’s questionable progress.” With the typography of Old West wanted posters, Barlee provided tightly sourced accounts of B.C.’s legends. “Lost gold mine at Pitt Lake” analyzes and adds to earlier accounts that begin with an aboriginal miner known as Slumach, who would periodically arrive in New Westminster to squander a small fortune in gold, and then disappear up the remote tidal lake. Slumach was hanged for murder

TOM FLETCHER

BC VIEWS in 1891 and in the next 70 years, 11 more men would die trying to find his secret. A scientist as well as a storyteller, Barlee concluded that the area’s geology is wrong and the fabled gold-laden creek “probably does not exist.” A passion for prospecting runs through the magazines, and hints at Barlee’s aversion to treasureseeking Americans. They overran B.C. in historic waves to take gold, and according to Nelson Star reporter Greg Nesteroff, Barlee believed they continued to loot Canadian heritage sites. Nesteroff was inspired by Barlee’s work, and traced his lonely mission to restore the ghost town of Sandon, “the mining capital of the Silvery Slocan.” Barlee bought a surviving block of buildings in an effort to make Sandon another Barkerville, but heavy snow collapsed them. As tourism minister, Barlee found money to build replicas, and construction began on three. But Barlee lost his Penticton

seat to Bill Barisoff in the 1996 election, and today only half-built shells remain. “He was still selling Sandon’s restoration as an economic saviour for the region when he ran for federal office in 2000,” Nesteroff writes. “But by then he was ridiculed for it, and finished a distant second.” Barlee’s 1972 Canada West profile of the boomtown of Hedley would resonate in his career as an NDP MLA and cabinet minister in the 1990s. Hedley’s Nickel Plate and Mascot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out, and Barlee led the fight to preserve their history. Today, you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert. I first discovered Barlee as a reporter at the Kelowna Capital News in the early 1980s, when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns. A bare-bones studio affair with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade. Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine. On subscription fees and a few classified ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power.

No need for dangerous cosmetic pesticide

To the Editor: Last month, the Special Committee on Cosmetic Pesticides released its report, and although the committee’s 17 recommendations do not include a ban on lawn and garden pesticides, the B.C. Liberal government has not made a decision (the committee members did not reach consensus in arriving at the recommendations). Of the 7,300 e-questionnaires submitted to the committee by British Columbians, almost 5,000 supported a ban on the sale and use of cosmetic pesticides. The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) maintains health takes precedence over lawns.

It’s important to note pesticide registration by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) does not mean a pesticide is safe or without risk. PMRA registration means risk to both human health and the environment is minimized, not eliminated, if the product is used for its intended purpose and according to label directions. PMRA assessments do not differentiate between cosmetic and non-cosmetic use. The CCS is concerned about the growing body of evidence linking pesticide exposure to adult and childhood cancers, including leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, prostate,

kidney, pancreatic and lung cancers. Enough is known to eliminate exposure, especially when using these chemicals is unnecessary, exposure is irreversible and safer alternatives exist. The CCS is not alone in its concern. Based on the findings of its second comprehensive review, the Ontario College of Family Physicians recently issued a strong statement that the public reduces their exposure to pesticides. The review found children are particularly vulnerable and shows associations between pesticides and various neurological and respiratory diseases, and reproductive problems. Prohibiting the use of cos-

metic pesticides is responsible and respectful of the state of the scientific evidence. Forty B.C. municipalities have shown leadership by adopting cosmetic pesticide bylaws, and we encourage more to do the same. We will continue to urge the government to pass strong province-wide cosmetic pesticide legislation. Through action, information and policies we can take steps to promote health and reduce the risk of cancer.

Newsbeat Around the province Electric charge station opens KELOWNA – The city’s first electric car charge station opened for business Friday, outside the Best Western Hotel in Kelowna. The charge station is pretty unobtrusive, and clearly isn’t meant to take a bite out of gas stations’ business, but it is a relevant link on a pathway across western Canada, said Kent Rathwell the founder of Sun Country Highway. The province’s goal is to see more than 500 charging stations in B.C. by the end of next March, and Rathwell expects to see electric possibilities go a lot further, by year’s end.

Cars shot in Abbotsford area ABBOTSFORD – Michael, his wife, and their two kids had just crossed the border into Abbotsford at about 10:30 p.m. when they heard a loud bang. Something had hit their car, and they thought it must have been a rock bouncing up from the truck in front of them. But at a stop not long after, Michael (who did not want his surname used) realized the mark could not have been caused by a rock. There was a small hole located just below the window on the rear passenger side, where his eight-year-old daughter had been sitting. There were no other marks or scratches along the car, and Michael believed the dent had been caused by a pellet or bullet. He called police when they arrived home, and was told he was the second person that night to call about such an incident. Const. Ian MacDonald confirmed that police received two such reports on the evening of July 1, and the hole on Michael’s vehicle had been caused by a pellet. He said police combed the area looking for the culprit, but there were no suspects or witnesses. The Abbotsford Police Department is asking for anyone who might have experienced a similar incident, or who has information, to call them at 604-859-5225.

Some people feel that an alcoholic drink at night helps them sleep. However alcohol’s effect on sleep has been studied well and although it can help initiate sleep it doesn’t result in sleeping through the night. Generally sleep quality was poorer in women who had a pre-bedtime drink. A new type of hearing aid is now being marketed in Europe and the U.S. Called SoundBite, it directs sound through the jawbone and into the inner ear. The device is custommade for each patient and is positioned onto the upper left or right molars. Sound is conducted right to the inner ear-bypassing the middle and outer ear.

Dog park options under Council consideration Ken Alexander Free Press

When local resident Shaleena Jones made a presentation to the District of 100 Mile House on April 24, requesting the construction of a dog park, preferably in Centennial Park behind the tennis courts, council received the request and sent it to staff for report. District planner Joanne Doddridge presented the report at the June 26 council meeting and noted she could only find information of dog parks in larger communities. She provided council with a list of land-use and overarching site considerations, including adjacent land uses, management, access to water, parking, maintenance, and infrastructure provision. She noted parking and noise were the major concerns voiced by Centennial Park neighbours who called in after the story was published

in the May 2 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press. Mayor Mitch Campsall said he also received a number of phone calls from the aforementioned neighbours. However, he added the Kamloops dog park is well used. Doddridge noted the area behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre was also suggested as a potential site for the park. It was noted the Cariboo Regional District would have to be contacted regarding that option. Councillor Dave Mingo said he wondered if there would be enough room for the dog park in the area across the purp-

le bridge. If location was possible, he said it could solve the parking, traffic and noise issues. Financial aspects, including construction, other capital (benches, garbage bins and signage), operational and administration costs were also considerations that have to be discussed, Doddridge said, adding public consultation would be key to finding a suitable site. Council voted in favour of receiving the report. Jones, who was not present at the meeting, picked up a copy of the report, and said she thought council would prefer a different location for the

dog park. Noting she wants to meet the members of the dog park group to see what they want to do next, Jones said she would like to canvas the neighbourhood. “I think we should go out to the public and try to reverse the ideas some people have about this being a negative thing to have in our park. “However, I have to see what whether the group wants to push harder for a different site in Centennial Park or look for another site altogether.”

Officer assaulted On July 3 at 9 p.m., 100 Mile RCMP responded to a complaint from a Greyhound Bus driver that there was a male on the bus in 100 Mile House who was intoxicated and the driver wanted him removed. The man was located on the bus in an advanced state of inebriation. He was requested to get off the bus by the responding RCMP members. At that time, he stood up and struck one of the officers. The male was subdued and removed from the bus and lodged in the 100 Mile RCMP detachment cells overnight. A charge of assaulting a police officer is being recommended to Crown against a 46-year-old Surrey man.

Cummins handing election victory to NDP To the editor: As a staunch rightwinger, huge fan of Preston Manning, and early Reform Party volunteer for both John Cummins and Paul Forseth, I cannot express how deeply disappointed I am with the foolish and opportunistic BC Conservative Party. A split on the right is simply not justified and right of centre voters should stick with the highly successful coalition strategy. The Reform Party split the right federally, but for me the game changer was “western alienation.” Reform was in

many ways antiestablishment, bucking the eastern domination of Canada and forging a more democratic ethos nationwide. It was a multi-dimensional cause worth fighting for. Think about it. Our prime minister is from Alberta, and we have Reform to thank for that. Let’s not spoil the legacy of Reform in this province by gift-wrapping the election for the NDP. There is no worthy cause to the Cummins campaign. It’s a short-term strategy to leverage a temporary dip in

support for the government. That’s it. The business community and, in particular, the natural-resource sector that I work in, will never, ever forgive the BC Conservatives if they siphon off enough votes to ensure a socialist win. I can see it now. Vast forests of forsale signs and armadas of Albertabound U-Hauls all emblazoned with one clear message: “Thanks John Cummins. Thanks for nothing.”

AIDS testing should require patient’s consent To the editor: I am writing about the Emergency Intervention Disclosure Act – Bill 39. There is no medical basis for Margaret MacDiarmid’s Bill 39 and it contributes to misinformation and stigmatization of those living with HIV/AIDS. The legislation would force individuals whose bodily fluids come into contact with emergency workers to undergo blood tests for diseases, such as HIV and Hepatitis A, B and C. However, there have been no known cases of HIV transmission through saliva or open wounds and the risk of transmission of HIV in these circumstances is

non-existent and merely considered a “theoretical” risk. The legislation also threatens British Columbians’ right to consent, privacy, and bodily integrity. HIV testing must be conducted with the informed consent of the tested, with skilled pre-and post-counselling, and guaranteed confidentiality.

ciation’s AGM has been held at Nimpo Lake for many years, but this year, the 100 Mile House Flying Club was asked if it would like to host it locally. “100 Mile House has been always very active in aviation.” While economic pressures and varying interest levels typically affect recreational aviation activities, he notes the local flying club has been holding fairly steady at 25 to 35 members. After the offer was made to hold the AGM in the South Cariboo, Trinker explains he wrote a proposal to

The BC Float Plane Association (BCFPA) will hold its annual general meeting in 108 Mile Ranch for the first time. The AGM and some entertaining activities will take place July 20-22 at the South Cariboo Regional Airport (CZML) and the 108 Resort Golf Resort, with the planes landing on nearby Watson lake. The BCFPA has extended an open invitation to all avitors who wish to attend. Organizer Willy Trinker says the asso-

Watson Lake, located between CZML and CAV3 (100 Mile House Airport) will be used for the float plane arrivals with a shuttle service and fuel available on site. Wheeled aircraft can land at CZML. Events are planned throughout the weekend, kicking off on Friday evening with an informal gathering. The AGM on Saturday morning will be followed by lunch, speakers during afternoon and then dinner and entertainment. Activities offered Sunday will include breakfast, a poker run for both “wheels and floats,” and then wrap up with lunch.

Financial Tip of the Week With OAP & GIS age eligibility changes coming. The age of eligibility of Old Age Pension (OAP) & the Guaranteed Judy Simkins Income Supplement (GIS) will Franchise President, gradually increase from age 100 Mile House 65 to 67 in April 2023, with full implementation by January 2029. These Proposed changes will not affect anyone who is 54 or older as of March 31, 2012. Therefore, those born on March 31, 1958 or earlier will not be affected. Those who were born between April 1, 1958 & January 31, 1962 will have an age of eligibility between 65 & 67. In order to provide for some flexibility as of July 1, 2013, an individual who is eligible to start receiving his/ her OAP may defer their pension for up to 5 years, and receive a higher, actuarially adjusted pension, similar to the election available with the Canada Pension Plan.

The Horse Lake Elementary School Grade 7 students celebrated their graduation party with family and friends on June 26. tickets. The Lone Butte Community Hall was full inside and out with about 24 vendors. A small animal display was set up beside the hall, and Ann Armand, a member of the Lone Butte Farmers Institute & Livestock Association, says children had a wonderful time trying to guess the weight of Dandelion the lamb that was 88 pounds. The children who guessed the closest included Zoe Ryhal at 87.6 lbs., Linden Unruh at 83 lbs. and

Kailey Glotze at 80 lbs. The 100 Mile Cruzers brought about eight vehicles for everyone to look and the Highway 24/Interlakes Lions had a terrific day with their concession trailer and selling raffle tickets. The day ended with a celebration dance, Keep on Rockin’ with Mark Allen, at the community hall. This was the first year the Lone Butte Rocks Day held a dance, but it will be an annual tradition. About 70 people

kept the dance floor full, a lot of the volunteers were still wearing their Lone Butte Rocks T-shirts,

Lone Butte rocked on June 23 with the whole town involved in celebrating our community. The morning was beautiful and everyone was having a great time in the early afternoon even when rain poured. Attendance at the fire hall’s annual open house was terrific, as people enjoyed rides in the trucks, made short work of the free hotdogs and enjoyed the antics and displays with the fire hose. All the businesses in the Butte were busy with sales, barbecues and just enjoying the day. A Tai Chi demonstration was held at the Water Tower Park and belly dancers performed in front of the Rotary stage. The stage was kept busy with fantastic entertainment, including Mr. Z’s Brazilian Bossa Nova and Five Alive. With the rain pouring, the James Gang was the last on the stage and they played a full set for faithful fans, some with umbrellas and some in their cars. The pie-eating contest is becoming a very popular event. Eating the cream pies with no hands is not easy, but two of the Schuurman children took away both prizes. The kids zone was very popular with the younger children. CaribooConsignments, and Crafts with special help from Sarah Lambert, planned and looked after the area. Sarah and friends raised $66.93 in donations at the zone. During Lone Butte Rocks day, the Lone Butte Historical Association (LBHA) held its annual garage sale and raised $1,000. LBHA secretary Gayle Jones thanks everyone who

and the silent auction table was full with the many donations from individuals and businesses.

cial moment when five-year-olds Joelle Kuyek and Daniel Veitch were recognized as next year’s new kindergarten students and given a small gift. In addition to gifts of a hoodie and a Safeway deli card, the Grade 7s were discharged with a huge cake inscribed to wish them well, and to wish everyone

a happy summer. Lions concession After weeks of hard work preparing their new van for its work, Highway 24/ Interlakes Lions, whose meetings have ceased until September, are now out there running the concession at many unusual places. First up was the big antique auction

Bridge Lake Fair bicycle parade slated BRIDGE… from page A16 and second of $5 in each category, one for ages five to eight years, and the other for ages nine to 12. The fair is honoured Carolyn Cook, the new B.C. High School Rodeo Southern Ambassador, will judge this contest. Vendors who require space are asked to call this writer as soon as possible. Spaces cost $10 and are outdoors, so while we expect monsoon season to be over, vendors should come prepared for all weather conditions.

Hot July Nights ready to roar Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Centennial Park will be an expanse of classic cars and brawny bikes when the 100 Mile House Hot July Nights Car & Bike Show comes to town, July 14. The show takes place from 1 to 5:30 p.m. and admission is free. Awards will be given out at 5 p.m. Displaying your car or bike costs nothing and registration and set-up is at 10 a.m. Hot July Nights organizing committee member Chuck Douglas says the layout will be much like last year, with areas designated for entertainment, vendors and vehicles.

“The biggest change is handicap parking available right in the park.” The event will be family-friendly, with a lot to look at, including live music with the band Sidetrack, and DJ music by Chris Pettman. For children, there is the park playground. A ’50s style dance, which starts at 6:30 p.m. at the 100 Mile Community Hall, caps off the day. Check out Cruisin’ at the Dub, which features live entertainment and more family fun, in the A&W parking lot July 13 from 5 to 9 p.m. Topping off the weekend is a pancake breakfast Sunday morning at 8 a.m. at Central GM, followed by a rod run at 10 a.m.

Bop ’til you drop at ’50s retro dance Free Press

Twist, jive and boogie up a storm at the very retro ’50s Theme Dance at 100 Mile Community Hall on July 14. It will be a funpacked blast to the past, hosted by the 100 Mile House Lions Club in conjunction with Hot July Nights Car & Bike Show. DJ Mark Allen will be spinning the vinyl, so to speak, and digging out some of the finest tunes from the days of bobby socks and penny loafers. Lion Judy Simkins says Allen is pretty excited about being the event’s music man and she’s expecting him to go all out with getting into theme. While Allen will be decorating the stage area, she notes the Lions will be setting the mood in the rest of the hall. “We want to make it like a sock-hop and make people feel like they’re back in the ’50s.” There will be prizes for the best costumes, so dig out that crinoline from the back of the closet and tease up your best bouffant hairstyle to be in the running. Tickets for the dance are $10 per person and can be

bought in advance on Friday night at Cruisin’ the Dub in the A&W parking lot and on Saturday at the concession at Show ‘n Shine in Centennial Park. Tickets are also avail-

able at Whimsey Gifts and Money Concepts, but are restricted to those 19 years of age and older. All of the money raised at the event will be donated to local charities. A d m i s s i o n

includes light snacks, such as the fresh popcorn from a popcorn machine that will be operating in the hall. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and throughout the evening, 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue

Bergen qualifies to row at London Olympics Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The dream of qualifying to compete in a rowing event at the Olympic Games has been realized by Gabe Bergen of 108 Mile House. The 30-year-old elite athlete has earned a seat in the men’s eight. His teammates are Jeremiah Brown (Cobourg, Ont.), Andrew Byrnes (Toronto, Ont.), Will Crothers (Kingston, Ont.), Douglas Csima (Oakville, Ont.), Robert Gibson (Kingston), Malcolm Howard (Victoria), Conlin McCabe (Brockville, Ont.) and Brian Price (Belleville, Ont.). The team will compete at the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games, which opens on July 27 and closes Aug. 8. “It feels great to be officially named to the men’s Olympic eight,” says Bergen. “I have been working towards this goal for four years, so it’s nice to finally be here.” Bergen will be following in the footsteps of his father, Bob Bergen, who competed at the

Montreal 1976 Olympics in the men’s pair event. Bob later spent many years working as a schoolteacher in the South Cariboo. “My dad’s experience at the Olympics is one of the main reasons I decided to pursue rowing in the first place,” says Gabe. He adds basketball had been his first choice as a varsity sport, but while attending University of Victoria, he decided to try something else that might lead him to the national level.

“Because Bob did rowing, I thought I’d try rowing.” Both his dad, and his mom, Marilyn

Bergen, and brothers, Karel and Robbie Bergen, will be at the Olympic Games, cheering him on at each race, as will a couple of close friends from home. “My dad h a s

given me advice from his own experiences that has helped me over the years and I am definitely happy he will be there in person to watch the event.” The Canadian men’s eight goes to the London Olympics as the defending champion and is considered a favourite to win, especially after setting a new world record at a World Cup event in May. Gabe was a member of that recordsetting team.

Pud Griffin participants enjoy sunshine Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Golfers welcomed the sun at the 28th Annual Pud Griffin Memorial Golf Tournament at the 108 Golf Resort, July 6-8. The temperature hit 30 C on Sunday, but event organizer Clara Koehn says that following the wet weather experienced over the preceding several weeks, nobody complained. “Everyone had been expecting the worst after all that rain. People just drank lots of water and it was a fabulous weekend.” The tournament, hosted by the 108 Ladies Golf Club (108LGC) saw 38 pairs of women tackle the 18-hole course. Sharon Duffin and Sharron Bartman from Williams Lake

(WL) were the overall low-net winners and Deb Wiltshire and Laura Kaufman of 108LGC and Williams Lake respectively, won the overall low-

gross competition. Heather Matsuda and Linda Hames (108LGC) were low-net, first-place winners in the first flight, while Sharon Cleveland and Julie Merrick (WL) won second flight. Wendy Foster and Carol Lidstone (108LGC) teamed up for the third-flight victory. Low-gross, firstplace winners in the first flight were Deb Hodak and Vanessa Shilson of Kamloops (Kam), Mabel

Clara Koehn

108LGC members were in the prizes in several other categories, including Lori Henderson who was a long-drive and a KP (closest-to-pin) winner and Judy Scarrow who also landed a KP. Char Wahnschaff won for sinking a long putt and Rene Zelt from Marmot Ridge Ladies Golf Club nailed a KP and a long drive. Deuce pot winners from 108LGC were Annie McKave, Lorraine McCaffrey, Koehn, Matsuda,

Hames, Carol Ohlund, Patsy Wilkinson, Foster and Lidstone. On Saturday evening, golfers dressed in their best HollywoodBollywood theme clothes for a lively banquet, complete with belly dancers who got members of the audience on their feet and participating. Among the faux Hollywood stars were Marilyn Munro, Ma and Pa Kettle, and Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion from Wizard of Oz. Koehn says most of the women chose to wear traditional Indian saris. “There were some absolutely beautiful outfits and people looked fabulous. It was lots of fun.” The club already has the dates of July 5-7 picked out for the 2013 Pud Griffin and the theme will be Woodstock.

Softball silver for South Cariboo Squirts at Provincials U12 Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

100 Mile â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n Hour Squirts boys softball team put the pedal to the metal to earn a silver medal at the 2012 U12 Boys Provincial Championships in Fleetwood, July 6-8. Representing Cariboo Northeast, the team, coached by Kyle Moore and Pat Findlay, finished the preliminary round robin with two wins and a loss, which earned them a berth in the final with the Richmond Mariners. Their single

round-robin loss was to the Mariners, known rivals from the past that had beat them quite handily twice before, and Moore says his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence plummeted when faced them in the final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids figured they were beat before they even played.â&#x20AC;? 100 Mile was down 8-0 after the second inning, and then Moore called a huddle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them they could beat this team and I told them the Richmond team wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beating them,

they were beating themselves. Then they came around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really hard to stop kids from getting down on themselves once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down. After the huddle, they all picked up their heads and started hitting and catching.â&#x20AC;? After the reboot, 100 Mile went on to score five runs and shut out Richmond in the third inning. The fourth saw another run and a shutout, and in the fifth they brought in four runs and allowed one to the Richmond team

for a 10-9 lead. Tension and hopes were high in the sixth inning, as 100 Mile needed just three runs to win. With 100 Mile runners on second and third, it looked promising, says Moore, but Richmond managed to get a third out before any of them could make it home. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the gold, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d earned the silver, the coach adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been prouder. They all did what they had to do. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an excellent group of kids.â&#x20AC;?

June 7, 1925 - June 29, 2012 In Loving Remembrance Sheila Maxine Reymer (nee Gunn) grew up on her family’s farm near Sangudo, Alberta, where she especially loved riding and working with horses. She later moved to Edmonton, married Armand (Moe) Corriveau and raised four children. After Moe’s death, Maxine took up square dancing as part of her recovery, and danced into the arms of William (Bill) Reymer. They first met at a jamboree in Calgary and again later in Penticton. In 1987 they married and Maxine moved to 100 Mile House, where she began an new and exciting chapter of life. Over the next 25 years, she loved and was loved by seven children and step-children, their mates, and their growing families, as well as her dozens of friends around the Edmonton and Cariboo regions. Maxine enjoyed square dancing, loved camping and fishing, and was an avid card player, especially enjoying cribbage. Throughout her life Maxine carried her faith quietly within, passing away as she had lived, with cheerful determination, and a deep confidence in the loving grace of God. Maxine is survived and greatly missed by her husband Bill, and her children Tony (Debbie) Reymer, Mary (Don) Thibeault, Elsie (Jack) McDonald, Sandra McGinnis, Grant (France) Corriveau, Carolyn (Taylor) Corriveau, Shelley Corriveau as well as her 15 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. The family wishes to extend their thanks to Dr. Klopper, Dr. Geerts, the nurses and staff at 100 Mile Hospital and the ladies of Hospice for their kindness and care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the 100 Mile Hospice Society.

June 8, 1930 - July 6, 2012 Frederick H. Gloeckner, Jr. M.D. of 100 Mile House, British Columbia died on Friday, July 6, 2012 of multiple myeloma. A native of Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, and the son of Frederick H. Gloeckner, Sr. and Dr. Mary Louise Carpenter Gloeckner, Fred was a graduate of Germantown Friends School, where he excelled athletically, Princeton University, and Temple University Medical School. He married Linda Philip in 1959 and had four children. Following Linda’s death, Fred re-married Mary McArdle. In 1972 he published “A Civilian Doctor in Vietnam”, a memoir of a two-month tour of volunteer medical service in the heart of the war zone which he performed under a collaborative sponsorship of the American Medical Association and the Department of State. Upon his return to Philadelphia he spoke at his sister’s church, Summit Presbyterian in Mount Airy, Philadelphia, about his experiences in the theatre of war. Fred moved to 100 Mile House in 1971 and bought a local medical practice owned at the time by Dr. Fischer. He practiced medicine in 100 Mile House for the following 30 years until his retirement in 2001. Through the years he took tremendous enjoyment in his ranch properties on his beloved horse O.J., but his passion was golf and writing for the cause of peace. Fred is survived by his wife Mary, four children: Robert, Cherie (Steve Hemminger), Laurie (Wade Bell) and Mark; two step children Mavis and Patrick McArdle; ﬁve grandchildren Darby and Justin Bell, Alex Hemminger, and Liam and Brendan Graff; 11 nieces and nephews, and his sister and her husband, Kathy and Carl Shaifer. He was predeceased by his brother David W. Gloeckner. A service of his life will be held on Saturday, July 14, 11:00am, at St. Jude’s Catholic Church on Horse Lake Road. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of www.100milefuneralservice.com

Game 3 in the best-of-three 100 Mile Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fastball League playoff championship was played at Lumbermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park in 100 Mile House on July 10, but scores unavailable prior to press time. The rubber match became necessary when the Shuswap Defenders knocked off the Red Rock Grill 15-7 in game 2 on July 5. The slugfest saw the two teams combine for seven home runs, with five of them coming off the Shuswap bats. Defender Kevin Neufeld was the winner pitcher, as he hurled a solid game and registered nine strikeouts. Red Rock chucker Pat Findlay appeared to be tired after backto-back games on July 4 and 5. S h u s w a p â&#x20AC;&#x2122; s Antoine Sargent was a one-man wrecking crew, as he pounded a home run out of the park in the first inning scoring himself and Mark Boyce who got on base with a single. Sargent hit another moon shot in the second inning scoring three more runs, as Shuswap jumped out to 7-0 lead. Neufeld upped the lead to 9-0 with a two-run homer in the third, and Boyce made it 10-0 when he crossed the plate in the fourth. Red Rock finally on board with a tworun homer by Matt Ounpuu in the fifth, and they made the score respectable with five runs in the sixth There was some great long-ball hitting during the game with Ounpuu and Ryan Odette homering for Red Rock. Boyce, Joseph Sandy, Sargeant and

Neufeld provided homers for Shuswap.

Red Rock takes game 1 Red Rock Grill came from behind in the fast-paced, first game of the 100

Mile Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fastball League playoff finals on July 4 to beat the Shuswap Defenders 6-4. The crowd in the stands got to watch an exciting game featuring some great

pitching and defensive plays, as well some timely hitting. The game was tied twice and the lead changed three times. There were 20 hits and six of them were bunts that resulted in the batter getting on base. Shuswap scored in its first at bat as Boyce crossed the plate on a single from Stumpy Boyce. However, Red Rock replied in the top half of the inning with a two-run homer by Findlay who also threw for three strikeouts. Shuswap took the lead back scoring two

runs in the third, then added one more in the fourth when starting pitcher Sargent, who collected nine strikeouts, hit a solo home run putting his team up 4-2. Red Rock battled back, knotting the score at fours, with two runs in the fifth, using their speed and well-placed bunts by Brody Borg, Kurtis Bicknell and Brad Mills. The Grillers added two more in the bottom of the sixth to go up 6-4. Shuswap had one more crack at it in the top of the seventh, but three fly-ball outs ended the game.

BC Games first step for many London-bound athletes When the Olympic and Paralympic Games begin in London, there are a number of Canadian athletes who will remember their first multi-sport experience at a BC Games. Twenty-four athletes on the Canadian Olympic team started their journey to London with a trip to the BC Games, including 2008 Olympic gold medalist Carol Huynh (wrestling), and recent Giro d’Italia winner Ryder Hesjedal (cycling). As part of the athlete development pathway, the BC Games are a first multi-sport experience for young athletes that lead towards provincial and national teams and ultimately the Olympic or Paralympic

Games. The BC Games are part of a strong provincial sport system that provides an outstanding training environment and support services for high performance athletes. Forty per cent of the Canadian Olympic team live or train in British Columbia. Shot-putter Dylan Armstrong of Kamloops is one of Canada’s great medal hopes at the 2012 Olympic Games. He is a shining example of a B.C. athlete who has developed to international success with support through all the stages of the athlete pathway. Involved at a young age with the Kamloops Track and

Field Club, he represented the Thompson-Okanagan Zone at the 1995 and 1996 BC Summer Games. Success as part of Team BC at the 2001 Canada Games was next before winning gold for Canada at the 2007 and 2010 Pan American Games. All eyes are on this BC Games alumnus to better his fourth-place finish from the 2008 Olympic Games. Swimmer Brent Hayden of Mission is another medal contender in London. He competed at the 1998 BC Summer Games and reflected, “The BC Summer Games was the point in my career when I realized I had the potential to go further. “It was soon after that that

Clinton youth picks up community service award Carole Rooney Free Press

I decided to switch from being a summer swimmer to training all year round. It is clear I wouldn’t have noticed my own potential without the BC Summer Games.” The full Paralympic team will be named later this summer, but former BC Games athletes Bo Hedges of Fort St. John (wheelchair basketball) and Adam Rahier of Powell River (swimming) will be part of the team. More than 2,300 athletes between 10 and 18 years will be at the 2012 BC Summer Games, which kick off just one week prior to the start of the Olympics. It is an inspiring experience

that will ignite the dreams of many young athletes to pursue their sport to the highest level. A veteran of the Canadian women’s soccer team Karina LeBlanc from Maple Ridge recalls, “It was an amazing experience because I did dream of one day being at the Olympic Games and it was the closest thing for me to it, so it made me want to be there that much more.” Watch for the next generation of Olympians and Paralympians at the 2012 BC Summer Games in Surrey, July 19-22. See the complete list of BC Games alumni heading to London at www.bcgames.org.

Arlene Jongbloets Clinton youth Charli-Rae Dougherty has earned a BC Hydro Power Pioneers award of $1,000. She won the award for her extensive volunteer efforts in her community. “I’m really excited. It’s a great honour considering it’s such a big award,” says Dougherty. The community service award is granted on a regular basis to one student under 18 years who performs outstanding community volunteer work from each of 20 areas around the province. Dougherty, who is graduating from David Stoddard School this year, says she currently volunteers for her local food bank. She was treasurer for the Clinton 4-H Beef Club, student president of her school and a lifeguard and family-swim night organizer at a local swimming pool. She adds her other volunteer work included being student president for the B.C. High School Rodeo AssociationSouth Region for the

Power Pioneer president Glen Canning of Victoria and 100 Mile House branch president Dave Abbs presented her with $1,000 cheque, a book of BC Hydro history, entitled Gaslights to Gigawatts, and a company vest recently. Canning also had some glowing remarks for Dougherty. “Our award selection committee was very impressed with the quality of your application, and your

community involvement and leadership skills ... are outstanding. “You have a bright future ahead of you and your community will be a better place because of your contributions.” Abbs says Dougherty was chosen from five applicants, and stood out as a prime example of a youth set up to begin a lifetime of community work, which the focus of this award. “The community service that CharliRae did was the best we’ve seen in years.” Dougherty says she will use the money to

attend university in Kamloops for the next six years to become a school teacher. Power Pioneers volunteers are retired BC Hydro employees or their spouses, and Abbs notes the 100 Mile Branch currently has 30 members. Canning adds he worked as a BC Hydro supervisor in 100 Mile House from 1973 to 1981 and was glad to be back in the community.

The first of two Watch Lake/Green Lake Gymkhanas to be held this summer at Green Lake is slated to go July 14 at the gymkhana grounds located just west of Little Horse Lodge. Events start at noon and all of the favourites, such as barrel racing and pole bending, are on the program along with a couple of fun novelty events, such as musical tires and the boot race. Grab a seat in the stands or bring along your own lawn chair and sit in the shade of the aspen trees while taking in the action. The Watch Lake & District Women’s Institute will be manning the concession stand and serving burgers, hotdogs, snacks and beverages. Prizes will be awarded to winners in each event and aggregate points earned for awards to be presented at the next gymkhana, which will take place Aug. 11.

Rain didn’t dampen cyclists’ enthusiasm Monika Paterson Free Press

Participants in the inaugural Canadian Mental Health Association - South Cariboo (CMHASC) Community Bike Ride on June 24 at the 108 Heritage Site dealt with rain showers and a bear encounter. Hun City Bike Club owner Dwayne Chamberlain guided 10 of the 50 participants on the 15-kilometre route by the 108 Heritage Site t o w a rd s

Succour (Sucker) Lake. They met a bear that wouldn’t move off the path, Chamberlain says, forcing the riders to double back. “It was a fair sized black bear, one of the crew broke a chain about 200 feet before the sighting. Just as we were about to proceed, I saw the bear coming down a large fir tree backwards. It stood its ground and would not move even as three of us yelled at it. “A little excitement for sure to

spice up an already great ride!” The other ride participants pedalled their way through either the five- or 10-kilometre Sepa and 108 lakes routes. CMHA-SC president M-J Cousins says the purpose was to raise awareness and funds to send a positive message of the importance of building mental health through exercise.

Bowling alley once a kingpin of community Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Bowling has a long history that goes back to early Roman days, and its origins in the South Cariboo also reach to the past. Modern bowling can be linked to an old German religious ceremony during which parishioners could have their sins forgiven by rolling a rock and striking down a wooden pin. The game took on a more dubious air in the mid-1800s when it was called “nine pin” and the lanes served as gambling centres. This led to the game becoming outlawed, but it was revived with the addition of a 10th pin and the new name of “bowling.” Since gaining a new identity, it has become a social

game enjoyed by all. In 100 Mile House, bowling made its debut in 1971 when residents Tom and Maxine Hunt established an eight-lane, 5-pin alley on Scott Road at 99 Mile. The Quonset hut-style building and the bowling lanes came from different locations in the United States and were already used when purchased. Originally, the bowling alley had 12 lanes and was set up for 10-pin, but when erected in its new home, it was converted to eight lanes and 5-pin mode. The bowling alley promptly became a community meeting place, supporting around 20 bowling leagues,

which kept the facility busy seven nights a week, and a junior and women’s league in the daytime. Marlene Palasty and her husband, Don, were among the first league bowlers to sign up and Marlene recalls the instant buzz created by the opening of the new bowling alley. “Right from the beginning it was something that excited people. There wasn’t a lot going on in winter in 100 Mile and we didn’t have the big arena for hockey at that time.” It was a social centre where many children had their

birthday parties and where people built skills and reputations as bowling gurus, she adds. “Jack Symons nearly lived at the alley and he was probably one of the best. Wally and Polly Deptuck were steady bowlers and so was Marilyn Niemiec, a former X-ray technician at the hospital. “We all just had great fun together. They were a great bunch of people.” The alley saw many good years, with several of its league bowlers, including Penny Bjornson, qualifying to

compete at nationals at different times. The provincial team each year was comprised of the top six bowlers in the province and members regularly came from 100 Mile House. “The reason we were so good was because our lanes were always breaking down and pins were left standing when they shouldn’t have. We learned how to curve a ball because we had lots of practice at picking the corners.” Bjornson and a handful of her fellow bowlers earned their designation as

See BOWL… page B2

The building and bowling lanes were purchased separately in the States and brought to 100 Mile House in 1971.

master bowlers and shared their expertise as teachers for the youth bowling league. Bjornson says they would travel to compete all over the province and the local club turned out a lot of talented young bowlers. Gradually, inattention to the upkeep of the local alley and its equipment, and the introduction of new activities in the community, led to the decline in popularity for bowling. The many leagues that once kept the business hopping, shrank or folded, causing the alley to gradually lose its reputation as a community hub. Current owner Rick Green first had his eye on the business in 1994,

100 Mile generated skilled bowlers BOWL… from page B1 but as a busy realtor back then, there weren’t enough hours in the day to share between the two interests. In 2011, following career and life changes, Green got his opportunity to purchase The Bowling Alley and has been remolding its image ever since. Once the home to a busy arcade section, that area of the building has been closed. With personal gaming devices so popular and accessible to the public now, Green says it has caused the bulky electronic game machines to lose their lustre. Now, instead of attempting to stay ahead of technology, Green is going back to basics and trying to turn people back on to bowling and board games. He has collected about 80 popular games, which are available for patrons to play after a session of bowling, or while coming to socialize. “I want to see this place as a community centre focused on face-to-face interaction rather than face-to-TV interaction.” An upstairs lounge

once saw a lot of action, and still serves as a venue for parties. While Green is

working on bringing the decor up-to-date, the building is still something of a time

capsule, with mementos of the past tucked into every nook and cranny and a mountain of old trophies, stored on shelves. Most names on them are familiar ones, with Ohlund, McKenna, Hannah, Bjornson, Peeters, Barnett, Lane, Adrian, Grover and Driediger among them. While the lanes no longer see the action they once did, they get a fair amount of use from community groups, schools, a seniors’ league and visiting sports teams. Green says he would like to see the return of men’s, ladies’, mixed and youth leagues. “At one time, the alley was a thriving part of the community. I’d like to see it come back to that.”

Weather affects attendance at benefit concert Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Poor weather put a damper on a benefit event aimed at raising money for a local family in need of support. The Tribute to Cariboo Cowboys concert went ahead as planned at the Little Horse Lodge campground June 22-24, despite heavy rain that affected attendance, and despite the expected passing of family head Dan Lytton. While it was hoped Lytton would be able to watch the concert later on video, he passed away just days before the event. He was a longtime and respected resident of the Interlakes area who was well known as a top team roper, cowboy and farrier. Concert co-ordinator Darcey Smith was expecting and counting on more

istrCariboo’s ict TDDistrict he Calling

Bonters have old ties to the Cariboo

By Diana Forster Peter and Nicki Bonter have only been on their 500-acre ranch since 1995, but part of it has been in Pete’s family since 1940, and before that, his family homesteaded 160 acres behind Sheridan Lake Store. “In 1939, my dad rode a bike all the way from Mission looking for land. He and his brother and cousin checked out as far as 150 Mile before winter arrived and they returned home. Pete says. “The following year, they came back and bought the west half of what we now own.” The farmhouse, itself, on Highway 24 at Sheridan Lake, was built on Doman Road in 1916 by the Murrays, and transported log by log over the hill by Nels Sandberg and recon-

structed at its current location in the early ’30s. Says Pete: “You’ll see on the map that it sits a little kitty-corner to everything else; it’s definitely the oldest part of what we own.” After downsizing in 2011, the ranch runs some 50 head of Angus Hereford X cattle plus six bulls, and leases an additional 200 acres. Range cattle meandering along Horse Lake Road are invariably the Bonters. The ranch has a truck, licensed mostly to bring in hay, some of which will be brokered out again. “Among a lot of things I do, I have taken long-haul trips with the truck, but I’m a rancher and I do what I have to do to keep the ranch going. Sometimes the ratio gets quite mixed, but I’m first and foremost always a rancher.”

Nicki works on the ranch as well as out, and is a staunch supporter and member of the Interlakes Cattlebelles, which promotes local ranchers and agriculture. She can often be found serving the famous beef-on-a-bun” at local events. Nicki also works hard at the Cattlebelles’ annual fall dinner, which gives thanks for their own bounty and their various supporters. The Bonters’ blended family has

six children (two of Pete’s, three of Nicki’s and one they had together) and 13 grandchildren, with an imminent 14th. Their 15-year-old grandson, Deyman Radcliffe, lives with them. “He is learning the basics of ranching, working on the place and building his own herd. His dream is to one day have his own place,” Nicki says. The couple has a deep appreciation for everything old. Nicki has a bridle that was

an early gift to her father, Frank Drayton of Clinton, who passed away in 2004 at the age of 89. “It’s hanging on the wall in the house now,” Pete said, “and it’s just as supple as the day he received it. It could go out and be put on right now. “Frank was a great historian, and his grandkids were never able to stump him. He didn’t have a lot of material stuff, but he carefully preserved his cherished belongings. But his real love was definitely horses.” I n t e r e s t i n g l y, Frank, aged 84, was wearing full cowboy gear when a Ron Watts photo of him graced the front cover of Beautiful British Columbia magazine’s Fall 2001 issue. Says Pete: “The front porch is literally filled with antique stuff we found on the place as we cleaned up. And we have this lady, Winnie,

who was born in the house when it was on Doman Road, and because of her ties to the house, she gifted many of her antiques to Nicki. One particular piece is a beautiful china cabinet. She was Art Horn’s partner and now lives in a home in Ashcroft. “Sitting out in the yard is one of the first Titan tractors from the early 1900s. I used to play on that thing; I never remember it running. “I turned 60 last year, but still remember it. My imagination was very vivid, and a lot of it came out on that tractor.” Many old farm implements litter the property and Nicki turns them into beautiful flower gardens in the summer. An absolute riot of colour surrounds the main house, breathing new life into the rusty workhorses that remind us of days gone by.

This runs until around 3 p.m. Sunday’s activities begin at 9 a.m., and feature the marathon with drivers manoeu-

vring their carriages through several obstacle courses and then racing to the finish. This is expected to end around 3:30 p.m. Currently, there are 27 entries but several more are expected. A concession is available both days, and will be run by the 70 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department. For more information, call Ken at

For all those who missed Woodstock in 1969, on July 28 the Hootenanny Café will be hosting Hootstock 2012 at the old Bradley Creek School on Eagle Creek Road. It is several kilometres past Ruth Lake. Signs will lead you to the school, nestled in a clearing by the road. The building has undergone a transformation thanks to the Hootenanny crew and friends. It has a new base, fresh chinking, been thoroughly cleaned and generally spruced up. New facilities have been built and the grounds levelled. Hootstock will feature entertainment for all ages, beginning at 10 a.m. There’ll be a mix of performers and an eclectic stir of music with an

Step 1 - Wash . Dip a clean microfibre cloth in the solution and wring it out a bit. Thoroughly wash the entire surface of the window. You may need to rub a bit at anything that is really caked on. Use as much of your cleaning solution as you need to get rid of all the grime. You may need to use two cloths to get the job done correctly if your windows are really grimy, just be sure you have completely cleaned them before proceeding with drying. Step 2 - Dry. Once you have completely cleaned the windows and they are still wet, take a dry and clean microfibre cloth and thoroughly wipe down the entire surface until no drops of water remain. You don’t need to worry about how you do the wiping (circles, rows, columns) - anything works with a microfibre cloth . . . you just have to get the window completely dry with the cloth. If you leave some water on the window, this will dry into spots or streaks. Done! You should now have a completely streak free, spotless window. You can go back and look at it when the sun is shining through, but I still don’t think you’ll see any streaks.

Students plant western larch trees GROVE… from page B10

Larch trees are unique evergreens

that turn yellow in the fall and shed their needles. The trees were a gener-

ous donation from Grove resident Pat Lysholm. In 2005, 30 trees of different varieties were planted on the hill by students and community members through a grant from the Toyota

Corporation. With the exception of a few casualties, they are thriving, and with the addition of the new larches, the future looks good for the return of a grove of trees to the schoolyard.
