World-renowned dancer Ernie Philip, 83, of the Little Shuswap Band performed for chiefs, elders, adults and children from all 17 bands in the Secwepemc First Nation on Aug. 17. This year, the annual gathering was held over three days at the Watch Lake-Green Lake Gymkhana grounds, Aug. 16-18.

Kala Geosciences, the Cariboo Regional District’s consultant on its monitoring program for well and lake water levels in the 108 Mile Ranch, will begin pump testing later this month to determine if groundwater is flowing out of the community. CRD Area G Director Al Richmond says the consultants will be testing the north aquifer where there is an original pilot well, as they believe water is passing through the 108 Mile Ranch and heading north out of the community. “We’re going to conduct a 60-day pump test to monitor the impacts that pumping at that point has on the existing aquifer, where our main wells are drawing out of, to see if we can confirm their theories about how the water is flowing.” If the theory is true, he explains pumping at that point will reveal no effect on the community wells. Richmond notes the CRD is hoping to have the pump test completed and a report prepared by December. In May 2010, the CRD reported that studies completed in 1993, 1995 and 2007 indicated there is no short, direct link connecting surface (lake) water and (aquifer) groundwater supply, although surface water eventually filters through the lake bottom over a long

period of time. The regional district also had Kala perform a waterbalance study in 2009 to determine the amount of water that eventually filters through the clay and silt soils under the lake. However, Richmond explains that since then, Kala Geosciences is now better able to determine the effects the 108 water system’s wells have on the 108 Mile and Sepa lakes levels, supplying data that supported the recent tightening up of watering restrictions. He says this recent progress is the result of the research and testing the consultant and the CRD have had underway for the past two years on the 108 and Sepa lakes and area well levels, in working to determine the flow of water through the 108 Mile Ranch aquifer. More information is available online at www.cariboord.bc.ca, linked under Service > Utilities > Water Quality Monitoring. Meanwhile, tightened watering restrictions for residents on the 108 Mile Ranch water system began Aug. 13, due to overuse of the water system. Watering is restricted evennumbered addresses to yard sprinkling only on evennumbered days of the month, and odd-numbered addresses only on odd-numbered days. Watering is only allowed from 6 to 8 a.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. See related story on page A5.

Nurses’ union president visits Safety, aggressive patients, staffing concerns divulged Carole Rooney Free Press

British Columbia Nurses Union (BCNU) president Debra McPherson visited the South Cariboo on Aug. 15 and spoke to the local nurses about some serious issues in their workplace. She met with BCNU members at 100 Mile District General Hospital and Fischer Place/Mill Site Lodge, as well as community health nurses, and walk through each facility. McPherson checked out the local facilities in person because she’d had some issues reported to her around staffing and facility layout, she explains. While her purpose on this trip was not meeting with management, she did glean some details on specific problems to take back to them later. “There were two issues that emerged there. One is typical to the whole region, and that is the issue of staffing – of recruiting and keeping staff in rural communities, with there not being the offer of full-time work. “People won’t move for 0.2 of a job, or 0.4 of a job, or casual work.” The offshoot of that is having no

suitable facility, she explains. “That’s a real challenge for them. So all in all, I’d say that’s probably the one issue that we’re going to be trying to take head-on with management in the coming months.” McPherson has served as BCNU president since 2000, as well as previously, from 1990-94. Each year, she visits every facility in one of the 16 regions to talk to members about things, such as staffing and safety issues to provide the chance for nurses to interact with her personally, she says. “You can’t be too big; you can’t be too small. Clinton has a one-person health unit – I’m stopping there.” It provides her an opportunity to see and experience the workplace to gain a sense of its limitations and challenges, McPherson notes. She adds some people don’t realize the double-shifts and overtime frequently put in by nurses in the South Cariboo community. “I must say I am totally impressed by the commitment of the nurses to the community, and their willingness to go above and beyond – in terms of heavy workloads and a lot of overtime in the face of staff shortages – in order to meet the community care needs.”

BC Lotteries Corporation has a new board chair. The Ministry of Finance has appointed former Attorney General and Kamloops MLA Bud Smith, QC to head the board of directors. Smith has been a director on the BCLC board since May 2012, and replaces board chair John McLernan who has served as chair of the BCLC board since 2005. He is an active Kamloops-based businessman with ownership interests in companies operating in British Columbia and Alberta.

POLICE TRAINING Police in B.C. now have access to advanced domestic violence training with the launch of a new online course developed to help police better protect vulnerable women and families. The second in a three-phase training program, the new course provides an in-depth look at assessing domestic violence risk, with a focus on victimsafety planning. It will further improve and standardize practices around interagency co-operation, risk assessment, bail hearings and family safety planning.

A public survey on the future of Canada Post held recently by Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod had some interesting results. McLeod says her survey questions matched what the Conference Board of Canada (research organization) recommended for Canadians to consider, and she was surprised by some of the results. Of the 500 local constituents who responded, she adds 60 per cent supported moving to alternate-day delivery service. “I was not sure what options would have significant support throughout the riding because I saw pros and cons with all of them. So, the significant support in terms of alternate day, and the very few that were opposed to that option, to me was surprising – that it was so much stronger than perhaps some of the other options.”

Aquifer tests ongoing for 108 Mile wells, water flow a concern Carole Rooney Free Press

On Aug. 13, the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) imposed new water sprinkling restrictions for everyone on the 108 Mile Ranch water system. While the use of yard sprinklers is still allowed from 6 to 8 a.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m., it is now restricted to even-numbered addresses watering only on even-numbered days, and odd-numbered addresses may only water on odd-numbered days. CRD Area G Director Al Richmond says overuse of the water system by people not following the previous restrictions led to the reduction in

allowable sprinkling times. the allowable time.

Campfires allowed in Cariboo Fire Centre The campfire ban in the Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) was lifted due to a decreased risk of wildfires at noon on Aug. 20, and campfires will now be permitted throughout the CFC. However, campfires cannot be larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide. Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water available to fully extinguish the fire. Never leave a campfire unattended and make sure the ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area, says CFC fire information officer Greig Bethel. Fireworks, tiki torches and sky lanterns will also be permitted, as well as burning barrels that are smaller than a half-metre high by a halfmetre wide. All other open burning remains prohibited within the CFC. This includes: • The burning of any material larger than a half-metre-high by a half-metre wide. • The burning of industrial or backyard waste, slash, stubble or grass.

Search and rescue referendum explained at public meeting

Return your Recyclables and enter to win

Meeting explains reasoning, need and taxation increase levels Carole Rooney Free Press

Three residents turned up to hear why the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) is asking taxpayers to vote in the Sept. 7 referendum that could see it provide annual funding to the South Cariboo Search and Rescue Society (SCSAR). They were joined by District of 100 Mile House Councillor Ralph Fossum, 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue chief Darrell Blades, and several SCSAR members to hear the presentation. CRD protective services manager Rowena Bastien detailed the “nominal” affect on property taxation, and SAR search manager Val Severin explained why the funding is needed. Bastien said the $0.84 per $100,000 of assessed residential

property value is estimated for 2014 taxes (to a maximum amount of $1.08/$100,000 in future years) will provide up to $30,000 in stable funding for the SCSAR. “The area affected if the referendum supports taxation will be Areas G, H and L and the District of 100 Mile House, except for a tiny portion of Area G, which is already serviced and taxed in support of the Central Cariboo Search and Rescue (CCSAR) group.” She explained SCSAR is the only search and rescue group in the Cariboo not currently funded by the CRD, as the CCSAR (Williams Lake) is an existing CRD function, and the Quesnel SAR now receives limited funding from the CRD through a bylaw similar to what is proposed for the SCSAR. The referendum

is being held as it is typically the “least controversial” method of polling taxpayers for financial bylaws, Bastien said, adding it takes just “50 plus one per cent” of the votes to pass. Severin said the current need for a stable funding source is significant, as its current donations, fundraising and provincial grants are not regular, and the amounts fluctuate, so it can’t plan effectively for full operations. “The majority of our funding comes from our BC Gaming Grant, which we apply for each year – there is no guarantee.” Therefore, the SCSAR can’t plan for equipment replacements or be sure to have training funds for the many courses that are required by law. In addition to its more commonlyknown search and

Fewer inspections being done of forest and range practices An investigation into government’s inspections of compliance with forest and range practice legislation found the number of inspections is one-third of what it was a few years ago, according to a report released on July 16. “The Forest and Range Practices Act is intended to keep environmental standards high, with strong compliance and enforcement. Government needs to demonstrate that it is carrying out enough inspections to adequately monitor compliance with legislation, or public confidence will be diminished,” says Al Gorley, Forest Practices Board chair. Inspections decreased for a variety of reasons, one of which was the 2010 consolidation of natural resource min-

istries that now sees fewer natural resource officers inspecting a much greater number and type of activities on Crown land, he adds. For example they now inspect dams, recreation activities, illegal structures like cabins and docks, litter and open burning, etc. As a result of this investigation, the board recommends improvements to how the government records and reports industry compliance, Gorley adds.

“This would help to determine if the number of inspections is appropriate.” The Forest Practices Board is British Columbia’s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recommendations directly to the public and government. The board can investigate and report on current forestry and range issues and make recommendations for improvement to practices and legislation.

rescue services, which Severin noted some less- active people sometimes question the need for, other lesserknown but frequently provided assistance is provided by the current 42 volunteer SCSAR members. These include helping RCMP, fire departments, BC Parks, BC Ambulance Service and the Coroners Service of British Columbia. They provide assistance in finding runaways, missing persons and fugitives, as well as evidence searches and fire evacuations. “Our biggest expenses include insurance for our building, vehicles, trailers and equipment....” Other costs include utilities, consumables, fuel, maintenance, VHF radio licences and subscriptions for personal locators. The highly specialized training includes a 100-hour basic course, and then numerous advanced courses, such as swift water rescue (rivers); flat water rescue (lakes and floods); ice rescue; rope and high-angle rope rescue; ATV evacuations; and snowmobile/avalanche response.

Transparency is needed

Ten-year deal out of touch S

itting at my school’s graduation was lovely and emotional and everything you hope for when you are a high school teacher; a beautiful and poignant send-off of children to become successful and productive adults. During the ceremony, the valedictorian said something I found quite profound – “Most of us were in Grade 1 in our first week of school when the tragedy of 9/11 happened.” It hit me – what a world these children have had to grow up in: a world of fear, constant world tensions and the inundation of security, intrusion and general societal paranoia; a world where distrust and an overabundance of precautions are now the norm. Then the other shoe dropped for me. The government I work for

wants to lock in a contract with B.C. teachers for 10 years. I am not suggesting the tragedy of 9/11 is the same as our contract struggle. I just would suggest we look at how much the world has changed since then and how changes in B.C. education, which will be required in the next 10 Colin years, will be Plant significantly thwarted if we don’t have a school system and a collective agreement that will be flexible and adaptive to students’ and teachers’ needs. The world is changing and so is education. While we call for a system that will be adaptive to 21st century needs, we are being told labour peace is the

benefit of a 10-year deal. But what about the needs of a system to evolve? A 10-year deal thwarts that because so much cannot be negotiated for 10 years. I’d like labour peace, but to suggest a 10-year deal is good for B.C. is much like suggesting we all should just stick with the automobile we have now and not get a new one if the current one no longer runs or is fixable or needs new tires. If asking to keep up with the cost of living and having contract rights that were illegally (courtdetermined) returned is considered greedy, then yes, I am greedy. If asking for the government of B.C. to respect both students and

GUEST SHOT

he longer the Senate expense scandal goes along, the larger the burr under the Canadian taxpayers saddle gets. Now, it has gone beyond irritating to an act that is downright obnoxious. The fact that Senators Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin are in the middle of it would be laughable if it wasn’t such an egregious abuse of the public trust. After all, here are two high-ranking members of the mainstream media who used to chew up and spit out politicians for misuse of power and public funds. Their televised performances were all so full of high and mighty outrage at the shameless spending of tax dollars for their personal gains, the audience was left with the feeling they should either be strung up or, at the very least, cast into a dungeon – never to see the light day again. It is sad to see Duffy’s and Wallen’s fall from grace, as they became the very creatures they pursued. Obviously, people see things differently after they are led to the public trough. At first, we assume they would be somewhat embarrassed for dipping into the trough, but it doesn’t take long for some to rationalize that they actually deserve these “little perks.” So, how do we change all of this abusive use of public funds and disregard for the intention of the Senate? Do we reach into the Constitution and change it so the Senate once again becomes the chamber of sober second thought? Can we tinker with the residency mandate without losing the point of having senators represent regions of the country? Should we have a cross-country debate about abolishing the Senate and end any opportunity to have a safety net to stop the government of the day running rough-shod over the country? All of these options are certainly worth talking about because it would give Canadians a better idea about how the federal government works. These discussions would likely lead to debate about what is working and what is not working at all. This, in turn, would likely lead to the correction of the things that are not working. In the meantime, Canadians would like to see transparency of what their elected and appointed officials are doing with the taxpayers’ money. We want to know how much they’re spending and what they are spending it on because we cannot afford to have anybody getting a free ride on the gravy train. We want them to be accountable and we want them to restore the public trust in the system of governance.

teachers in this province by funding education (and perhaps raise taxes to do it) is the stuff of pipe-dreams, then call me a smoker. I notice that each year my municipal taxes go up. I don’t like it, but I understand it because I know that my roads need to be fixed, that the police and firefighters in my municipality deserve to keep up with inflation and items like this must be funded. But somehow fundamentally our provincial government has gone to such a neoconservative extreme that even the words “tax increase” are seen as heretical. As we all are discussing in the staff rooms, nobody would sign a 10-year cell phone deal, why would we do it with our children’s future? And my career? Colin Plant is a teacher in Saanich.

Opinion

Support Mineral Tenure Act modernization To the editor: We are sending this letter to your community on behalf of many Kamloops citizens who are opposed to development of an open-pit copper and gold mine immediately adjacent to, and partly within, our city’s boundaries – the Ajax Mine. We have learned that current legislation allows the interests of mining companies to override the needs and aspirations of municipalities, regional districts and

First Nations. The Mineral Tenure Act gives preferential treatment to the mining sector over other development opportunities, such as renewable resources, agriculture, and tourism. Because of the well-documented health and environmental hazards associated with open pit mining, we believe it is critical for all British Columbia residents to be aware of this issue. What has happened to Kamloops

can happen anywhere in B.C. This spring, the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities voted unanimously to support a resolution advanced by Tofino Mayor Josie Osborne calling on the provincial government to modernize the Mineral Tenure Act. This resolution will be put before the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) this fall, and we believe it is extremely important that local governments and First Nations

Can we trust the B.C. Liberals energy plan?

To the editor: In your July 17 editorial, headlined Time to get to work on economy, you referred to the B.C. Liberal’s “liquefied natural gas gravy train.” You’re being a bit sarcastic, I hope. Maybe someone can explain exactly how LNG export would benefit B.C. This idea is a major part of the government’s agenda for B.C. Remember the B.C. Liberals’ previous energy plan? That was to have BC Hydro purchase lots of power from B.C. private power projects (IPPs), and sell it to California as “green energy.” That didn’t work out too good. BC Hydro is now burdened under massive debt, and huge obligations to purchase expensive IPP power it doesn’t really need. The IPPs are OK. They will be receiving $55+ billion from BC Hydro no matter what. The B.C. government messed up massively with this plan. Are we now expected to blindly trust them again with the nonsensical LNG export idea? Hugh Thomas 100 Mile House

across B.C. support efforts to enshrine their right to refuse proposals that threaten the well-being of their citizens or local eco-systems. We strongly urge your citizens to become informed about this issue. We encourage you to let local politicians attending the UBCM convention know how important it is for them to support the resolution calling on the provincial government to modernize the

Mineral Tenure Act. We encourage all citizens of B.C. to contact their MLAs and express their concerns.

Grandparents of murdered teen seeking help with petition To the editor: Three-and-one-half years ago my granddaughter Kimberly Proctor was brutally murdered by two of her peers. Since then, we found out the two boys were known to the community at large, as problem kids, but, nothing was done about them. My husband and I went to an all-candidates meeting during the last provincial election and asked why nothing had been done to help the boys find healthy outlets for their anger. After the election, Troy Desousa, the Conservative candidate (who lost), came to me

and said he would like to work with our family and present some ideas to the government for change. My whole family met with him and came up with seven proposals for change, which we call “Kimberly’s Law.” Since then the British Columbia Ministry of Education has implemented in most school districts a Threat Assessment Protocol, and I am pleased to say that it is working. We would like to make the assessments treatment mandatory. We also found (by being in the system) there are some flaws in the youth criminal justice system that we feel should

be changed. We have created a website at www.kimberlyslaw.com for people to download petitions – one provincial and one federal. So far, we have had a very good response from people in the southern portion of the province, but we haven’t had any response from the North and only a small response from the central part of the province. We would appreciate it if some of the people in the other parts of the province would help us out. Linda Proctor Victoria

BC VIEWS

dvanced Education Minister Amrik Virk has offered some advice for students heading for post-secondary education this fall. In a commentary sent to British Columbia newspapers, Virk reminded students his task “is to ensure postsecondary students obtain the experience and qualifications needed to put a paycheque in their back pocket.” B.C. is forecast to have one million jobs to fill by 2020, through a combination of retirements and economic growth. More than 40 per cent of them will require trades and technical training, and for students, likely a move north. “My advice to students is to look at where the jobs are based and tailor their education and training to match,” Virk wrote. “Our population is concentrated in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island, but as a resource-based economy, many directly and indirectly related jobs are located elsewhere.” That’s not the only blunt message for students deciding on a career. While defending his ministry’s spending plans

grilling Virk about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show that about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federalprovincial program, and the average is $20,000. One of the latest changes is a program of grants that go toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen program. With 23,000 students collecting $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, students pay only about onethird of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether it produces any useful education or not. Virk is under instructions to review the student loan program “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magnitude of the gap between what skills our education system produces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed.

He waited until staff were occupied and then grabbed a donation jar off the front counter and tried to run out the door. The jar was wired to the counter, so he pulled a number of items onto the floor before the wire broke and he ran out of the store. The amount of the money in the donation jar was approximately $30. The male was described as wearing a black hoodie, blue jeans and white shoes with a grey bandanna partially covering the lower part of his face.

A strong wind and a downed poplar tree, a live power line and a spreading fire – and some amazing work by first responders. In the words of Bonnie Dart: “You cannot embellish it enough.” The wind picked up and we heard ‘crackcrack’ and a tree fell on the power line and a fire started, Dart says. “It went up the tree and the Greeny Lake Volunteer Fire Department (GLVFD) responded immediately. It was spreading across the ground.” Dart is describing a fire that broke out in front of her cabin on North Greeny Lake Road on Aug. 11. Dart, her husband, Peter, and her brother Ken Duckett, who has a cabin next door, now have some very high praise for the GLVFD. “I thought everyone on the lake was trapped. The fire went up the tree and the wind was blowing and it flared up. They responded fast and they acted professionally and they put it out. “It could have been huge because the wind was blowing and the ground is all dry.... We cannot express our gratitude enough.” The call came in at 3:08 p.m. and within five minutes, the GLVFD was on scene attacking with water, fire chief Ken Gisby says, adding the situation was tricky and precarious in a few different ways.

Laurie Gisby photo

Greeny Lake Volunteer Fire Department fire chief Ken Gisby, left, engaged a water pump on a fire engine as volunteer George Wilby looked on when the department responded to a fire. It was sparked by a tree falling on a power line, that threatened two cabins on North Greeny Lake Road, Aug. 11.

“There’s probably 250,000 volts going down that tree looking for ground and once it hit the ground, it really started to burn into the dead grass. With the power coming down the tree and starting the fire, the whole ground is energized. Using water, electricity is going to follow up the nozzle of the fire hose.” When Gisby learned it would be at least 90 minutes before

BC Hydro could shut off power to the line, he ordered his men back 40 feet, as they worked to extinguish the ground fire, approximately 30 feet in diameter. Eventually the poplar tree burnt off the line and with no electricity to worry about, Gisby and nine other members of the GLVFD were able to douse the flames and mop up the area. “I have good volun-

teers. We’ve practised this many times. With the way they listen and practice, I’m very proud of them.” Open House The GLVFD is having its Super Boat Raffle and 2013 Open House

Bystanders extinguished grass fire Cigarette butt likely the cause and fire could have been much worse

Gaven Crites Free Press

Two bystanders travelling through the 100 Mile House area were the first responders to a fire that flared in waisthigh grass alongside Highway 97 at the top of the hill near 103 Mile on Aug. 15. Had it not been for their quick work, the fire would have likely spread quickly, says 100 Mile House fire chief Darrel Blades. “If those guys didn’t knock it down, it would have been worse. It would have continued growing.” Blades and two other members of 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue responded to the call around 1 p.m. and found two men – Kris Dawson and Ryan Labby, employees of Aerial Contractors Ltd.

Gaven Crites photo

Members of 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue suspect a cigarette butt sparked a grass fire alongside Highway 97 near 103 Mile on Aug. 15. Paul Donnelly, with hose, Kevin Halcro and fire chief Darrel Blades, right, attended to the scene.

– had mostly put the fire out, using a portable water pack and a shovel they had stored

in their truck. The pair was driving south on Highway 97 when they saw a truck

pulled over ahead and large amounts of smoke in the air and fire near the road.

“We were glad to help and we weren’t going to let something like that go down,”

Dawson says. “We stopped the truck, threw the fourways on and ran over and started containing it. Ryan had the shovel and I had the water pack. “We started putting it out piece by piece. We finally got the last one out when the fire chief pulled up.” Dawson estimates the size of the burn area at close to 70 by 10 feet. “It was pretty smoky. It was really dry and I’m glad we got there when we did because it was getting quite windy and the flames were starting to take off on us.” Because they work with power lines, Labby and Dawson have some previous fire safety training. Dawson, from Vernon, is a lineman and Labby, from Kamloops, is an apprentice.

“For a small grass fire, if a person has water and they can do it and they can do it safely, I don’t see anything wrong with them attempting (to put out a fire),” Blades says. “But, they have to have the equipment and make sure it’s safe and not put themselves at risk.” 100 Mile House FireRescue members found a cigarette butt near the fire’s point of origin. “It appears to be a cigarette, but we can’t tell 100 per cent and guarantee [that’s the cause of the fire],” Blades says, adding multiple fires in the area have started that way in the past. “I would advise people not to discard smoking materials from their vehicles. They don’t know where it’s going to land, and it’s dry along the highways.”

SOUTH CARIBOO RECREATION REFERENDUM When Can You Vote? Why are these changes proposed? The South C a r i b o o Recreation Referendum is taking place on Saturday, September 7. We wa n t to make sure you have all the information you need, to make an informed decision before you head to the polls.

Did You Know… What are the changes proposed? The current South Cariboo Recreation function bylaw does not allow funding support to go towards other local recreation and arts and culture facilities. The changes proposed to the bylaw would broaden the definition of recreation services and allow taxation support to be provided to other facilities and activities that are used by all south Cariboo residents.

Based on the statistics provided by the soccer association and the performing arts council, it is estimated that most people using these facilities are from rural areas outside of the District of 100 Mile House. For soccer, approximately 85 percent of the participants are from outside the District and for Martin Exeter Hall the figure is about 65 percent. Currently, 100 percent of the cost to maintain the soccerfields and the Martin Exeter Hall is covered by taxpayers of the District of 100 Mile House. It is reasonable and appropriate that this cost be shared by all residents that use the facilities.

New Prosperity Copper-Gold project topical hearings wrapped up Carole Rooney Free Press

The New Prosperity Mine topic-specific public hearings in Williams Lake recently concluded, as the federal environmental review panel moved on to its community hearings. Taseko Mines Ltd. vice-president corporate affairs Brian Battison says the hearings went as expected. Among the discussions was a difference in opinions previously submitted to the panel regarding the seepage that would flow through the tailings facility, which, he notes, is designed to allow seepage through the dams to assure the engineering stability. The conflict was between the information provided by Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) and by Taseko’s engineering consultants, who, Battison notes, used different models from the several potential models that can be used to predict that seepage flow. “The question was, ‘how much water would seep through the dam’?” The experts at the hearing have examined the outcome of both of those models, he says, and determined both are reasonable, acceptable and have mostly similar results. “There wasn’t a mag-

nitude of difference, of the mine, he explains [and] the differences those processes will be were acceptable.

South Cariboo recreation, rescue referenda imminent Two impending referenda will see voters going to the polls on Sept. 7, as taxpayers in the South Cariboo who are potentially affected will decide if they want to support expanded recreation and/or search and rescue services. Any registered voters who didn’t (or don’t plan to) attend the various related meetings may wish to take particular notice of the questions they will be asked at the upcoming Cariboo Regional District polls. The proposed change to the South Cariboo Recreation (SCR) function will ask the question as follows: “Are you in favour of the adoption of Bylaw No. 4837, which would amend the South Cariboo Recreation Service to allow a more broad definition of recreation services,

including arts and cultural services, and to increase the maximum annual requisition to the greater of $900,000 or an amount raised by applying a tax rate of $0.8721/$1,000 to the taxable value of land and improvements in the service area? (Based on 2013 assessed values, the maximum rate would be $0.8721/$1,000, which translates to a residential rate of $68/$100,000.)” The other consideration for change is to add a new CRD function for funding the South Cariboo Search and Rescue Society (SCSAR), and will ask: “Are you in favour of the adoption of Bylaw No. 4825, which would establish a service to provide a contribution of funds to the South Cariboo Search and Rescue Society for search and rescue

services in the District of 100 Mile House, Electoral Areas H, L, and a portion of G, with a maximum annual requisition not to exceed the greater of $30,000 or an amount raised by applying a tax rate of $0.0124/$1,000 to the net taxable value of land and improvements in the service area? (Based on 2013 assessed values, the current rate would be $0.0103/$1,000, which translates to a residential rate of $0.84/$100,000.)” General voting for both will be held on Sept. 7 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the District of 100 Mile House Council Chambers, 108 Mile Community Hall, Forest Grove Community Hall and Lone Butte Community Hall. The SCSAR polling will take place at the Interlakes Community

Complex. (Interlakes residents are located outside the SCR taxation boundaries, so unaffected by the recreation referendum.) Advance voting opportunities for both will be held on Aug. 28 and Sept. 3 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the District of 100 Mile House council chambers. For more information on these referenda, the voting requirements and addresses of the polls, visit the CRD website at www. cariboord.bc.ca.

Going We’reRock! To 6

By Monika Paterson The South Cariboo Garlic Festival, now in its 14th year, will be in full swing on the Felker Homestead site – just a few minutes north of Lac la Hache – which has been the location of the event for the past four years. The Aug. 24-25 weekend will be two fun-filled days of family entertainment, festivities and garlic eats. Jeanette McCrea, Lac la Hache Community Club treasurer and South Cariboo Garlic Festival co-ordinator, says it should be a great festival again this year. The weather is forecasted to be great, she adds. Returning this year is the popular garlic peeling and eating contest slated to begin Saturday at 1:30 p.m. for children 14 years and under. The adults will take the garlic-eating challenge, beginning at 2 p.m. There will be prizes for the most cloves peeled and eaten in both categories. McCrea notes that this year’s contestants for the garlic cook-off are Emma Bautista of Forest Grove, cooking Garlic Ginger Chicken served with garlic beans; Steven McCrea of Vernon, cooking Spicy Garlic Black Bean Cakes served with a lime sour cream dip; and Craig Conklin from 83 Mile will be cooking eggplant stuffed with garlic and sweet potato. McCrea explains the cook-off selection process. She receives the recipes and all personal information is removed from them and photocopied. The recipes are then handed over to a panel of six individuals who then choose their favourite three to move on to the cook-off. Judging this year’s taste creations will be John McCarvill from Yummers, Gina MyhillJones who won the cook-off in both 2010 and 2012, as well as returning judges Heidi

Redneck Regatta took months of preparation Organization, hard work turned a dream into a regatta

Planning for the 2013 Redneck Regatta at Ruth Lake Park on Aug. 10 got started in the spring of 2012. Cindy Whitehead, who is a Forest Grove 94 Lions Club member, came up with the idea for the regatta at a Lions Club brainstorming session. Cindy says she remembered Nanaimo had silly boat races and felt something like that was doable at Ruth Lake. The Forest Grove 94

Lions Club was trying for weddings and parto come up with ties, but they a fundraising needed to find idea to pay for a bigger chalimprovements lenge. at the Ruth Lake After all of Park and to also Cindy’s organidonate money zation and the for other causes. volunteer work The club but in by the Cindy did have the Whitehead club members Garlic Festival and others, it as a fundraiser at one appears they were right time, but that has since on the money with this moved to Lac la Hache, year’s event. so they had to find The Redneck Regatta another event to spon- was very well received sor. and everyone who Cindy notes the Lions came to watch the still offer their services races had very positive for a safe ride home things to say about the

whole event. All the comments have been taken into account, Cindy adds, and some new things will take place next year. For instance, less time will be allotted to the boat building and there will be more events for children. The theme will be more redneck and less nautical or piratethemed, she adds.

Area ranchers rally for injured friend Benefit barbecue, silent auction raises $6k for Pat Evans

Gaven Crites Free Press

The ranching community in the South Cariboo has rallied for one of its own. Friends raised $6,000 through personal donations, a barbecue and a silent auction held for Pat Evans at the Four Hearts Ranch on Simon Lake Road on July 27. Evans suffered fractured vertebrae in her neck when she was injured in a horse-riding incident on June 23. Her recovery is expected to take several months. Kay Gibson worked with Evans at the Four Hearts Ranch – where Evans was a farrier – and helped organize the benefit. “She’s a really friendly, hard-working and gutsy woman,” Gibson says of Evans. “Being a farrier for a woman is a tough job. She’s helped so many other people. I felt it was our time to help her because she really needed it. “People came from

Cache Creek, Clinton, Lac la Hache, all over the Cariboo ... people came from everywhere.” Evans was riding on a trail with her son, Cody, when the mule she was on bucked and she tumbled off. She is still wearing a neck brace and can’t move her head or neck, Gibson says, adding accidents can happen with even the most experienced riders. “You’re going along and everything’s cool and you kind of relax. And then, out of the blue, wham! It can happen really quickly.” Close to 60 people attended the benefit and over 60 items were donated for the silent auction. That sort of response says something about the character of the local ranching community, Gibson says. “100 Mile is known, I think, for being so generous when it comes down to it.” Among some of the items donated were books from local authors, local art, a side of beef, a heifer, a 700-pound bag of

grain and a miniature horse, which went for $300 and was one of the “cooler” items up for auction, Gibson explains. “Everybody donated something and everything went. It was a beautiful setting and a beautiful day.”

There have been other new ideas submitted, but the Lions don’t want to give up all their secrets. Folks will have to come out and see for themselves next year. The “Haystacks” Cindy had in the concession were delicious. Next year, Cindy says she hopes to add a couple of other things to the menu, but at this point they haven’t

decided on anything. As it is a Redneck weekend, t he Lions Club and the Forest Grove Legion want to join forces and make it a weekend to remember. Folks might just see Redneck bumper stickers in the near future or even a Redneck Drivein might pop up. Cindy says she hopes to have Redneck Regatta

team information packs available by May 2014, so she has a better idea of how many teams will be competing. “I was thrilled with this year’s races and I hope attendance next year will be bigger and better.” After this year’s races, the competitors could be heard talking about what their plans were for next year.

Solid waste changes coming to South Cariboo Controlled operation hours reality for CRD’s South Cariboo refuse sites

Control of Cariboo Regional District (CRD) refuse sites is part of phase 1 implementation of the CRD’s new Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP). The SWMP identified a number of solid waste improvements for CRD refuse sites, including better wood waste and materials management, compliance with environmental and safety standards, access to household recycling, and restriction or monitoring of out-of-area use of sites. The Watch Lake Landfill controlled hours started on Aug. 15, and rearview mirror CRD identification tags will be required to access the site after this date. Non-CRD residents will no longer be able to use the Watch Lake Landfill. The Interlakes Landfill controlled hours will start on Sept. 15. Scavenging in the trench, metal area and wood waste area will not be permitted at either site. The CRD is currently investigating its options to allow for re-use of metal and wood waste materials. The attendants will direct users to the appropriate drop-off areas for

clean wood waste, metals, appliances, household waste and demolition waste. The share sheds will remain and recycling bins will be provided at both sites in 2014. The Lone Butte Transfer Station will be under construction in August to change the operation of the site. The current bins will be replaced with open topped bins that will be compacted on site to reduce hauling costs and help offset costs of providing attendants and recycling bins. The Lone Butte site will no longer accept appliances, oversized metals, large loads of wood or demolition material; these loads will be directed to the Watch Lake or Interlakes landfills. The Share Shed will remain and recycling bins will be provided at the site in 2014. The controlled hours of operation for the Lone Butte site will commence after the construction is completed. For more information, contact the CRD environmental services department at talktrash@cariboord.bc.ca, online at www.cariboord.bc.ca, or by phone at 1-800-665-1636.

The slogan of 4-H Club is “learn to do by doing.” Today (Aug. 21), members of the Highland 4-H Club will see their hard work pay off at the Williams Lake and District 4-H Show and Sale, where their projects will be judged and some going up for auction.

The program is geared toward teaching youth responsibility, says Cheryl Monical, a leader with Highland 4-H. “They’re responsible for handling that animal, for feeding it, for grooming it.

Giesbrecht new president with CIRAC Rita Giesbrecht, former 100 Mile House and District representative for the Central Interior Regional Arts Council (CIRAC), stepped up her involvement with the organization in May by taking on the position of president. One of her first projects is to oversee a cultural mapping of the area, which will help identify the organization’s strengths and weaknesses and gaps that need filling. This will be done through a survey that will go out to as much of the artists sector that can be reached, she says. “We want to know where our artists see the greatest potential and need for support.” All artists in the region are Rita urged to participate in the survey GiesbRecht and this can be done by e-mailing Giesbrecht a request at rita@ chrisharris.com. She has a busy year ahead of her, with plans to hit the road and meet with arts councils within the CIRAC district. She also sees value in partnering with other agencies, such as tourism. “We’d like to generate a localized economy around the arts. There are so many creative partnerships to be found and we’re excited about the possibilities. “There’s a lot of unrealized potential in this area and we’d like to generate something from it.”

FAST bytes JUNIOR A HOCKEY The 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club is hosting a Junior A exhibition tilt between the British Columbia Hockey League’s Vernon Vipers and the Prince George Spruce Kings on Aug. 28, starting at 7 p.m. Admission is $5 at the door and it will be festival seating at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Airport Road in 100 Mile House. It is a revenue generator for the Wranglers, so folks can support the local Junior B club, while seeing the Vipers and Spruce Kings put on a show.

The action came midway through the first game of the 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club’s Main Camp on Aug. 18

Wranglers prospects up intensity Around 80 players worked hard for a spot on the Wranglers roster Ken Alexander Free Press

The bleachers at the arena in the South Cariboo Rec. Centre have been filled to about half capacity from the moment the 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club opened its Main Camp on Aug. 18 to it ended on Aug. 20. Many are family members of the boys who are working hard to be selected to the Wranglers squad as it enters its inaugural season in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League(KIJHL). However, many are also supporters of the

Wranglers and are antsy to see the season get started. It was also encouraging to see a lot of young minor hockey players in attendance, as well as several teenagers checking out the players to see who might be their new classmates at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School. With about 80 players in camp, general manager/head coach Doug Rogers and his coaching/ scouting staff sorted the players into six teams. There are many options for the coaching/scouting staff to consider, Rogers says, adding there are players from British Columbia, Alberta and the

Eastern United States. These include a number of young men who came up through the 100 Mile & District Minor Hockey Association. They include Reece Forman and Brett Harris who are working on conditioning and getting their skating legs under them before they head off to their Junior A camp. Both were recently carded by the Nipawin Hawks in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. Other notables from local minor hockey system are Derek Schneider and Micky Turner who played for the Bellingham Blazers last year. Continued on A27

Local racer wins at Williams Lake

Gaven Crites Free Press

Riders from the South Cariboo kicked up some dirt at a recent British Columbia Motocross Association (BCMA) event in Williams Lake, earning impressive finishes in a few categories ahead of the upcoming BCMA Championships in Kamloops. Tyler Glover of 70 Mile House was the fastest in the Junior B category, crossing the line first on Aug. 11. Glover, 14, finished second of 16 riders the day before. It’s his first year competing in motocross and Glover says he didn’t expect to find this much success this early. “When we showed up the first day for practice, everyone was pretty fast.” “I thought if I can get out front, I can probably [win] it. I got a good gate ... and came out in front the hole shot.” In the same race, Brandon Watrich, who recently moved to Kamloops from the South Cariboo, earned a 12th-place finish Aug. 10 and then a fourth-

Perron, 16, says he improved as the weekend progressed. “I was pretty happy with the weekend. It was a good start back from the summer break.” There were a lot of riders at the line for the Junior MX-2 race

he rode in on Aug. 10, Perron explains. “There were 20 people with 18 gates. So, there were two people off the edge of the gates. “The first corner was pretty scary because you have people right in front of you, people off to the side and right behind you.” Perron’s front tire eventually hit another racer’s back tire and he went down. “I had to get up right away because there were

people right behind me, and when I got up, there was another bike lying on my bike. You just get up and try to recover.”

Perron ended up 15th of 20 in that race. Patrick Griffin of 100 Mile House was in the same race. He rode to a 13th-place on Aug. 10 and an 11th-place standing on Aug. 11. Levi Townsend of 100 Mile House raced in the Beginner MX-2 category, finishing in fifth place on Aug. 10 and fourth place on Aug. 11. The B CMA Championships go Aug. 31-Sept. 1 in Kamloops. Glover says he plans to travel there a day early for extra practice before the weekend. “It’s going to be a lot of fun and there’s going to be a ton of people there, so it’s going to be a lot harder. It will definitely be a lot more of a challenge, but I’ll hopefully do well and try and get out front early.”

The Senior division winner was Terris Billyboy, with Punky Mulvahill as runner-up. Kaylee Billyboy won the Intermediate division and Carolyn Cook was runner-up.

“I didn’t start hitting very well, but I found my groove, and by the end of the tournament, I was ripping the ball. “I was in left field and some guy ripped one, a big towering fly, and I stole a home run from him. That was good.” It was a hard adjustment, Edle says, but the whole experience was worth it. “[I learned] not to over think and take my time.

Rogers says he and the Wranglers staff have identified 34 prospects to participate in the Blue & White prospects game that went on Aug. 20. (The score was not available at press time but will be covered in the Aug. 23 Cariboo Connector.)

This game will help determine who will be added to the team’s 23 man roster for the beginning of the KIJHL season. “Many of the prospects will enter into the pre-season with us and continue to secure their spot on the roster for the regular season,” Rogers says, adding there has been a good showing by players from north of 100 Mile House, which was great to see.

10 TIPS TO A GREAT SALE! 1. Place your advertisement for 2 weeks in our classified section. 2. Call friends and neighbours to see if they’d like to do a sale together. The bigger the selection, the more customers you’ll have. 3. Give yourself a couple of days to get organized. 4. Gather boxes, newspapers, and bags to use during the sale to package purchases. 5. Set your dates and times. The first and middle of the month are paydays for many people. 6. Take the time to clean up your items… products will sell better when they look “taken care of.” 7. Make the most of your display by setting up in a visible area such as the front yard, the driveway or near the curb. Don’t tuck yourself and your merchandise in a dark garage. 8. Label everything for sale with tape. Price it so you might consider buying it for yourself. 9. Before the sale, go to the bank. Get plenty of small bills and change to have on-hand. Keep a calculator handy for quick adding. 10. Be an entrepreneur. Make extra money by selling canned sodas, lemonade, etc., to shoppers. If you have kids, have them do this!

British Columbia oil refinery plan needs Canadian lenders

Jeff Nagel Black Press

British Columbia businessman David Black has been forced to seek Canadian lenders to build his proposed oil refinery near Kitimat at the insistence of the Chinese bank that would act as the main financier. The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China declined to fully finance the $25-billion project, Black said, sending him to find onequarter of the required money within Canada. “It really came down to the fact they wanted some skin in the game out of Canada and they would put 75 per cent of the money up for the refinery,” he said on Aug. 12. Black has billed the project, announced a year ago, as a way to create thousands of jobs in B.C. refining Alberta crude oil while ensuring diluted bitumen isn’t shipped in tankers, eliminating one of the biggest objections to construction of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline that could supply the crude. He is advancing the project through his firm Kitimat Clean Ltd., and is also majority owner of the Black Press group of community newspapers in B.C., including this paper. Black said he believes he has found lenders in Canada, but he gave no details, except to say he does not intend to take on equity investors. “It’s too early to say where or how, but I think it’s there. Financially, it’s going to work out.” Black aims to file a project description with the provincial government in September to initiate the environmental review process. None of the major North American oil companies have expressed interest in financing or partnering on the refinery, but Black said that’s no surprise.

Oil extraction is traditionally more profitable than refining, he said, and the biggest energy firms may not want a new refinery competing against ones they already own. “I understand all that and decided early on I just had to find a way around that and I think I’ve found it.” The $25-billion cost includes roughly $16 billion for the refinery – more than initially estimated due to a new refining process that promises to emit half as much greenhouse gas – with the rest covering a natural gas pipeline, a fleet of tankers and the cost of the oil pipeline, if necessary. Besides securing financing, Black said he must secure sites for the refinery and the marine terminal with the Kitselas and Haisla First Nations, determine if inland First Nations along the proposed pipeline corridor can come on board and to button down formal supply agreements with Canadian oil companies. He said an engineering firm from Calgary has endorsed the alternative refining process. Black reiterated his position that he could build the refinery even if the Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project is rejected and instead bring oil via train, but he emphasized pipelines are safer. “I really hope it doesn’t come to that – I really hope we can do the pipeline.” A pipeline would bring money and benefits for First Nations and local communities that wouldn’t come with rail shipments, he added. Oil-on-rail shipments have been growing quickly as a way to get Alberta oil to market, but a pall was cast over the method last month when a runaway train carrying light crude oil exploded and destroyed the heart of LacMégantic, Quebec.

Black said it’s not clear to him whether there would be a risk of explosion with the rail shipment of diluted oil sands bitumen, but

said he would welcome research to address that question. Sending the required oil by rail would add 12 trains per day on

the CN Rail line across northern B.C. and Black said that would mean a significant increase in noise and traffic disruption in northern towns.

WATCH FOR DEER

When you see one, there are usually more.

Golfers get break in weather for the Legion Golf Tournament

The skies cleared just in time in the afternoon of Aug. 17 for the close to 40 golfers hitting the links at the Marmot Ridge Golf Course in 100 Mile House for the annual Legion Golf Tournament. Groups of men and women participated in the nine-hole round. Any extra proceeds from the event went to local charities. The low-gross title in the ladies division went to Judy Scarrow who shot a 41. Ed Ney and Met Boyson tied for the

men’s low-gross bragging rights with 40. Ladies and men’s longest drives winners were Val Whittington and Boyson. Whittington also won closest to the pin (KP), while Lenny Emile

had the KP for the men. Highest scores – or “most honest” – went to Brenda Curll in the ladies, with Josh Hall, Willie Orango and Bruce Madu for the honours on the men’s side.

Hawkweed chokes out desirable plants

It may be beautiful and found in fields all over our region, but hawkweed is not just another pretty flower. Throughout British Columbia, a total of eight native hawkweed and 13 invasive species have been recorded. Of the 13 invasive hawkweeds, one variety has bright orange flowers, while the others have yellow flowers. Generally speaking, the native yellow species can be distinguished from the invasive varieties by checking to see if leaves are present on the stems, as most of the invasive species have leafless stems. Hawkweed is an aggressive propagator, with an ability to form dense mats that can rapidly choke out native and desirable plant communities. Unfortunately, the hawkweed infestation is severe within the Cariboo Chilcotin, and as a result, containment areas have been created. Containment is an invasive plant management strategy to prevent large infestations from spreading into non-infested areas. To create a containment area, invasive plant specialists draw an area on a map that surrounds the worst of the infestation. Inside the line, the infestation is extensive and eradication is not possible. Therefore, limited to no treatments will be conducted within the line. Outside the line, the infestation is limited and eradication is possible through active treatments. Here are a few key tips to managing orange and yellow hawkweed on your property: • Treat small infestations of hawkweed before they become large. • Avoid mowing or cutting hawkweed. It makes the plant become more aggressive and it will spread further through roots. • Hand pull and dig out small infestations, ensuring the entire root is recovered and dis-

• Promote healthy landscapes – stressed landscapes encourage weeds. • Apply herbicides, where appropriate, to larger infestations. The Cariboo Regional District is dedicated to protect-

ing the region from negative impacts of invasive plants through its Invasive Plant Management Program (IPMP). The IPMP is also available to assist landowners within the region through its

A35

Landowner Assistance Program. To learn more about invasive plants in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, visit the CRD online at www.cariboord.bc.ca, or call the IPMP staff toll-free at 1-800-6651636.

The hawkweed infestation is severe in Cariboo-Chilcotin and containment areas have been created through the Cariboo Regional District’s Invasive Plant Management Program (IPMP) as a result.

After months of planning and preparation the Redneck Olympics finally took place at the Forest Grove Legion on Aug. 10. The backyard of the Legion was turned into a place of competition and fun. The little ones had a bouncy house and a slipand-slide to play on if they didn’t want to take part in the goofy games. Most of the participants wore wacky combinations of plaids, stripes and colours. It was a Redneck event after all. A lot of Legion members attended the event, but there were a lot of future members as well. This event was meant to get folks to come out and see what the Legion is all about and, hopefully, join. There was a lot of food for everyone and it included Redneck Sushi, Redneck Calamari and Squiddles. Everyone joined in most of the games, even the out-of-town visitors. It was a great way to meet everyone in the

neighbourhood. The games included Mud Pie Eating, Toilet Seat Horseshoes, Paper Towel Relay and Water Balloon Volley Ball. Jim and Darlene Tindale, Legion president and secretary respectively, worked long and hard on this project, and with a lot of help from other Legion members, it was a really great day. CPAC donation After the Redneck Olympics and the meat

This money was raised to help pay for new playground equipment for the Forest Grove Elementary School. The new equipment price tag is almost $37,000, and at this point, the CPAC have

Redneck Regatta The competitors for the Aug. 11 Redneck Regatta started arriving at Ruth Lake Park bright and early to start their boat building. By 8 a.m. there were six boats under construction to take part in the race at 1 p.m. There were many ingenious ideas for the boats and each one was completely different from the other. The food tent was busy with

customers trying out the delicious “Hay Stacks,” a new version of tacos which everyone loved. By noon the boat building was finished and people started arriving to watch the race. Where else would you rather be on a beautiful summer day than sitting on a lake shore or paddling in the water waiting for a boat race to start? Motor boats from all over Ruth Lake started jockeying for position to watch the race and cheer on the competitors. The race got started at 1 p.m. and everyone was cheering and laughing. Dale Gent, a Forest Grove 94 Lions Club member, had his party barge on the lake to

mark the point of the race where everyone turned to shore. The gang on the barge were blasting everyone with the water cannon as they went by. The “Groovy Grovers” boat was halfway through the course when some of its flotation apparatus became discombobulated, but they still managed to come in fourth place. No one sank in the race, but the entry “Piston Broke” was slightly submerged as it crossed the finish line. Every competitor won an award and a lot of photos were taken. Everyone is already making plans for next year and deciding how to build their next boat.

Performing Arts Society takes new comedic direction Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

The 100 Mile Performing Arts Society is taking a new approach this year, producing a fall season comedy instead of a spring musical, which it has become so well known for. Office Hours by Canadian Norm Foster is the two-act play, which will run at Martin Exeter Hall on Oct. 25-26. Marie Hooper, who is back as director after a one year absence, says its becoming increasingly difficult to find people who can make a seven-month commitment, which is the usual requirement for the larger productions. Hooper directed many plays before hanging up her hat last year in favour of travelling south in the winter months when rehearsals are normally held. “The society thought it should change schedules and try to do small, instead of big. It’s such a big commitment, we can’t find a director and are having problems getting pianists

and such.” Casting is completed and actors are memorizing lines, Hooper says, adding the new direction opened the door for talented people who don’t have an interest in singing and dancing. She held acting workshops prior to auditions and is more than pleased with the talent and material she has to work with. “It’s still going to be just as much fun and as good a production as people are accustomed to. It’s really funny.” If all goes well, Hooper says the society may do another small production in the spring. “We’re really trying to nurture and get more people involved in the 100 Mile Performing Arts Society, to try to keep it going. I hope people will come out and give it a try and see something different.” Office Hours is six vignettes of offices which share the same office tower. The main producer is Kathy Wolczuk, with Jan Richmond as coproducer.

Many folks are saying the Aug. 3 South Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department (SGLVFD) annual Fun Day attracted the best turnout ever. Almost 200 summer and local residents turned out to join in the festivities. Dozens of youth, big and small, tried their aim at target practice with the powerful fire hoses. The women and the girls got a chance at the “Dress up like a Fireman” relay races. The tug of war events included categories of children, teenagers, men, women and firefighters.

The concession stand lineup was as long as you could see the whole time and the scrumptious-looking goodies on the home-baking table sold out fast. Wayne Cox, the former Global News weather forecaster who has retired to South Green Lake, joined in the fun and announced the tug of war events and got everyone participating. Thank you Wayne for helping. People who attended really enjoyed themselves and the SGLVFD members feel sorry for those who missed it and encourage them to attend next year. “We’re looking for another successful Fun Day next year,” says fire chief Peter McKie.

of any sizeable portion left around Horse Lake itself. There’s some hay land and pasture, and there’s also a really nice riparian area around the edge of the lake that’s worth preserving and not developing.” The group is planning another Family Farm Day in August next year.

Magoo Memorial Funball Tournament provides fun, sportsmanship DEKA DISTRICT

Volunteer Fire Department’s annual general meeting is at the Interlakes Hall tonight (Aug. 21) at 7 p.m. In addition to regular reports and election of officers, the annual quilt draw will be held.

Diana Forster 250 593-2155

Roe Lake & District Recreation Commission (RLDRC) president Carolyn Charlton says the Magoo Memorial Funball Tournament, Aug. 10-11, was very successful, especially considering the extreme heat. In 1976, this RLDRC tournament was conceived by Gary Cleveland to raise funds for Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion tour, and has continued ever since. In 1986, its name was changed to honour its “colour commentator,” Michael “Magoo” Barkley of Sheridan Lake, who passed away in a motorcycle accident that year. While his mother, Irene, passed away only last year at the age of 94, his brother, Bruce, still lives at Sheridan Lake, and his sister is at Sulphurous Lake. Of this year’s tournament, Carolyn says: “They all played hard and had a good time, and are looking forward to doing it again

Fourteen-year-old Logan Ramsey, left, of Williams Lake received the firstplace prize from Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department firefighter Gary Biro for reeling in the largest kokanee that weighed in at three pounds.

next year. And the children had a great time playing in the dirt; there were no unhappy kids.” Nine teams competed, with the win going to Barry Larson’s Red Rock. The Paddison Family’s Blue Roof came second, and The Amigos out of Forest Grove placed third. Apropos organization, Carolyn said: “Barry Larson and Lee Hanson picked up the slack and off they went. I was so impressed to see our younger people taking over from the old ones who are fading away, and they did a blazing good job. I

also liked the fact that there was lots of good sportsmanship this year, which was great to see.” Most competitors slept over at Interlakes Rodeo Grounds in motor homes and the like, except for those who had relatives in the area, she adds. “The grounds were well-used and with respect.”

New hours delayed Given the input received at its July 25 information meeting, the Cariboo Regional District has delayed implementing new hours at Interlakes Landfill Site until Sept. 15. The dump is, therefore, open all the time until then. AGM scheduled The Interlakes

Wally Mah returns to visit his home town – 100 Mile House

By Gail Potter A lot of people in the South Cariboo will remember Dr. Wally Mah who used to live in 100 Mile House and now lives in Winnipeg. I have met with my good friend Wally numerous times throughout the past five years, and each time we talk, he continues to amaze me. He has been in many places of the world, helping the poor and less fortunate.

GP: How long did you work at South Cariboo Dental Clinic? WM: Six years. GP: In 100 Mile House, one of your hobbies was drama. What shows did you appear in? WM: My first show was the Mikado. I was part of the chorus. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and caught the acting bug. The second show I did was It’s A Wonderful Life, followed by

neglect and suicides. But even in such harsh circumstances, there is joy, humour, pride, compassion and unselfishness I have never experienced before. We hear only the “bad” stories from our Aboriginal communities, but hardly the successful and triumphant ones. I believe the general public often think of Aboriginal people as a separate people and not as our own people. Continued on B12

GP: Where were you born? WM: 100 Mile House, British Columbia! Right here – born and raised. GP: Where did you do your schooling? WM: After graduating from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School, I attended the University of B.C. to get my bachelor of science in biochemistry and then dentistry at UBC as well.

Friends Gail Potter and Wally Mah had a visit recently, during which Mah, who was born and raised in 100 Mile House, gave some insight about his world travels.

Trial By Jury. I managed to get the lead part in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. GP: When did you move to Winnipeg? WM: I moved to Winnipeg in the fall of 2008. GP: Have you performed in other plays since you left? WM: I was in my second all-dentist musical just this past year. We did Guys and Dolls in May over four performances and I played the part of Benny Southstreet. It was a fundraiser for a theatre company called Prairie Theatre Exchange and for

It closely borders the Northwest Territories. I also provided

GP: Where do you take your holidays? WM: B.C., of course! I always manage to come back to B.C. every so often to visit family and friends. I’ll always be a Cariboo boy! But I have travelled to numerous countries, but lately to Asia, including Hong Kong, Thailand and Vietnam. My most recent trip was to Newfoundland. What an amazing province. The people and scenery were outstanding. Everywhere you go there are hiking trails, but the best ones are in Gros Morne National Park.
