Hearings wrap up with remarks Supporters message: let us ‘live long and prosper’ at home Carole Rooney Free Press

Two local businessmen were among the more than two dozen people who spoke their minds when the federal New Prosperity GoldCopper Project environmental review panel wrapped up its public hearing sessions with a Closing Remarks Session on Aug. 23. Len Doucette says he made two presentations to the panel, one as a South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce (SCCC) representative, and one for his Say Yes to New Prosperity (SYNP) Facebook group. Both were essentially a summary of the social and economic impacts the mine could have on 100 Mile House, and he began with his SYNP summary. “The new mine will be employing

Secwepemc Gathering memorable

Green Lake setting significant to regional First Nation Carole Rooney Free Press

The 2013 Secwepemc (Shuswap First Nation) Gathering at the Green Lake/Watch Lake Gymkhana Grounds on Aug. 17-19 was a sight to behold and an event to remember. Chief Mike Archie of the Canim Lake Band, the host for this year’s gathering, says the Green Lake area as a gathering place has been a significant piece of Secwepemc history for a very, very long time. However, it has been at least 120 years since it held an assembly there, so this event helped revive that heritage. “As one of 17 bands, it was an honour to host the event. It brought out a lot of the history and the culture of our people in looking at the unity, and working together as one within our leadership.” Archie says he was thankful to see up to 90 per cent of the Secwepemc chiefs attend and stay all weekend to participate in dancing, prayers and “looking after our people.” The chief explains the gathering had representation from elders, families and youth from all 17 bands, who turned out to meet, celebrate, tell stories and share traditional activities. He notes there was good participation from the District of 100 Mile House, with Mayor Mitch Campsall, and the Cariboo Regional District, with chair Al Richmond, in attendance. The Canim Lake Band greatly appreciates the ongoing support it gets from these neighbouring local governments whenever it hosts events, he says, adding this reflects well for visiting First Nations. “This year, the gathering was held differently,

when each of the 17 bands took a different role in concentrating on either cooking or cleaning up or looking after some kind of activity.” All the chiefs, band councillors, Campsall and Richmond spent several hours cooking a group supper on Aug. 18. Elders were also very involved, sharing stories laced with Secwepemc legends, culture and ceremonial history, Chief Archie explains. The Secwepemc Nation’s Stsmémelt Project helped keep the children busy and happy. “They donated funds to help our children with drum making and rattle making and other different cultural activities. They did well there, so we had a lot of our children’s activities that were throughout the weekend.” Having good cultural crafts and games to learn skills and heritage from is important for the children, but also for the band’s future, he adds. One highlight of the weekend was an all-chief dance competition – won by Chief Archie. “I am very happy with the [gathering] result, and I take my hat off to the community out there in 70 Mile and Green Lake. I want to express my appreciation for their opening up the gymkhana grounds for us.” With its history of Secwepemc peoples meeting there, it is a meaningful and important site, the chief says, adding the last gathering, in the late 1800s, facilitated important political/government policy discussions. Beyond that, its purpose as a meeting place goes back to time immemorial. He explains the translation of the Green Lake area name in the Secwepemc (Shuswap) language means “a place for passing the word.”

The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia has finished redrawing the province’s federal electoral map. In its proposal, the commission had removed some portions of the Cariboo, including 100 Mile House, 108 Mile Ranch and Lac la Hache from the existing KamloopsThompson-Cariboo electoral district. After considering submissions, it decided against this, and left the boundaries largely unchanged. The map will become official this fall for general elections beginning in 2014.

An electrical transformer/switch upgrade is nearing completion at Horse Lake Elementary School, Thiessen says, adding full power was restored to the school in early August. The major gymnasium expansion and new auto shop project at PSO began this month with demolition and site work by SD27 contractor BPR Construction Ltd. of Kelowna, he explains. Thiessen says SD27 has moved in three portable classrooms to temporarily accommodate school programs while construction is in progress. “In addition, we are partitioning the existing gymnasium, front offices and washrooms at 100 Mile Junior to accommodate the PSO physical education program for this coming school year, until the PSO gym expansion is completed.” He adds some other minor school projects have also been undertaken in the South End, including several new floors and paint upgrades.

School District #27 (SD27) superintendent Mark Thiessen says he is pleased with the outcome of a recent memorandum of agreement, which dealt with the relocation of teachers displaced by school closures. It was signed by the Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers’ Association, the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation, the B.C. Public School Employer’s Association and SD27. “The memorandum of agreement expedited the staffing process, resulting in the placement of teachers in a timely manner,” he explains. In the school district’s South End, Thiessen notes that all full-time teachers who sought them found full-time jobs. Other than retiring teachers, Thiessen says all of them continue to hold permanent positions, with some increasing their full-time equivalency (FTE). Teachers at 100 Mile House Junior Secondary either maintained or improved their FTE with transitions to Peter Skene Ogden Secondary (PSO), he adds, while the teachers at Buffalo Creek Elementary School also maintained or improved their FTE position by moving over to various schools. There are 15 teachers continuing to hold positions between these two closing schools, Thiessen notes.

“Some teachers who held temporary positions were successful in securing [permanent] positions.” The agreement assured all teachers in the district had access to any posted position they qualified for in experience and seniority, he explains. Meanwhile, Thiessen says moving the teachers and their supplies to other schools is ongoing. Now, the moving crews are in the process of centralizing all school district assets from the South End into the closed 100 Mile House Junior Secondary site, he explains. “These crews and their supervisors have done a tremendous job in making the transitions go smoothly and efficiently, so teachers and support staff will be ready for school in September.” While the South End transitions teachers to new schools, the superintendent notes SD27 also has two large capital projects underway in the 100 Mile House area.

Recycling regulations hit small business by surprise

Carole Rooney Free Press

Many businesses in British Columbia will need to be prepared when costly new recycling regulations take effect in May 2014, but many might not know it yet. The South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce (SCCC) is echoing its provincial organization in protesting the timeframe, costs and scope of the regulations. SCCC president Jennifer Appleby says the local chamber agrees with the B.C. Chamber of Commerce (BCCC) position that these new recycling rules should be delayed to address these issues for small businesses all over the province. “In its rush to address what the chamber agrees are important environmental issues, the government of B.C. has failed to distribute relevant information

to those who will be adversely affected. We believe many small businesses are only just hearing about the new regulations, and they are left with very little time to understand the regulations and determine what is required for compliance, let alone what costs they must bear.” All businesses that produce packaging, flyers or any other printed materials with recycling potential will be responsible for the end-of-life management of these products, including collecting and recycling them. This includes manufacturers and suppliers as well as retailers from small to large that produce packaging and printed paper (PPP), which then enters the residential waste stream. Yet-to-be-determined fees will also be imposed under the new regulation. These businesses may also opt to hire a

stewardship agency to undertake their duties. BCCC president and CEO John Winter sent a letter to Environment Minister Mary Polak, stating the BCCC is not opposed to the intent of the regulation, and recognizes requiring producers to be responsible for managing recyclable products is an “increasingly attractive method” to manage recyclable materials. However, he asks for more adequate consultation prior to implementation, noting the BCCC feels the May 19, 2014 implementation date is “neither realistic nor achievable.” “The consultation and outreach process for this amendment was so lacking that many local chambers’ business members were taken aback to find notices from Multi Material B.C. [MMBC] telling them they are not in compliance and subject to potential fines of up

to $200,000.” Winter explains MMBC only received approval for its stewardship plan in April 2013, and has many remaining components of its stewardship plan to finalize before the current implementation date. He says this is causing MMBC to move several objectives forward at the same time, resulting in a “lack of adequate communication and general confusion with small business” as to their obligations and options. Winter wants Polak to delay implementation, and to allot the necessary time for MMBC to determine the fee structure rather than the current expectation for small businesses to sign a “blank-cheque” agreement. BCCC’s concerns also include the “one-sizefits-all approach” in the amended regulation’s scope, he notes. “[The] amendment

RABBITS READY TO SHOW

considers all producers of these materials to be equal. There appears to be no consideration given to the fact that a number of small businesses produce limited amounts of packaging and printed paper, thus to include them only adds a layer of regulation with little effect on removing PPP material from the residential waste stream.” Appleby says the SCCC board also believes there should be a strategic committee in place to deal with implementation, and that small business should have a representative on the committee.

Council seeks Crown lease on strategic property Water tower, trail access at stake for possible future development

Carole Rooney Free Press

District of 100 Mile House council met Aug. 20 and addressed an opportunity to secure a piece of Crown property on District Lot 7811. Council agreed to pursue obtaining a Crown lease on the land west of 99 Mile Hill where an access road is located. The road leads to a water tower (that is situated on district-held land). Mayor Mitch Campsall said the

“... the [district’s tenured] lands across the highway are designated for use as a future ‘gateway’ park, and together with DL7811, provide an important visual gateway to the entrance to town.” At the meeting, she also informed council about the two ways the municipality could obtain tenure on the Crown land – one being to a Nominal Rent Tenure and the other a sponsored Crown grant. The latter is a much longer, more compli-

cated process, she said, but the District would then hold title to the property. However, Doddridge said the first option has a greater likelihood of success. She noted that since the District currently uses the land, and the road infrastructure already exists, chances are the provincial government would approve a Crown grant if council was to go that route. The rent tenure is typically a less-expensive option, with a small

fee of about $260, but she noted that can’t be guaranteed because occasionally factors, such as archeological site significance or inadequate survey plans can add costs. Coun. Ralph Fossum said he thinks the dis-

Agriculture minister meets South Cariboo stakeholders

Carole Rooney Free Press

Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm stopped to talk to local industry stakeholders on Aug. 14-15, during his current tour taking in much of the province. Getting a taste of agriculture issues, concerns and related business

barricades is what the tour is all about, Pimm says. Before that began, however, the first-time minister says he got his feet wet in Legislature over about five weeks, having taken over the role in June. “I had a lot of briefings to get up to speed on the whole agricul-

ture file. There are about 250 different commodities in the agriculture industry in the province of British Columbia.” As the Peace River North MLA, Pimm has spent his entire life in the Peace Country, which he notes is “grain and cattle country.” As he travels around, Pimm says he is work-

ing with the MLAs to meet up with local agriculture stakeholders. After working with Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett in other government roles for four years, he says she is among the most diligent MLAs. “Within our [B.C. Liberal] caucus group, she really is one of the hardest working MLAs. And she represents rural B.C. in a big way; I worked with her on Rural Caucus challenges before.” On Aug. 14, Pimm met with several representatives from the South Cariboo Regional Cattlemen’s Association, B.C. Trappers Association (local) director Judy Banas, and 100 Mile House Conservation officers James Zucchelli and Colin Kravontka. “There was lots of discussion around the different issues that the cattle industry is facing, right from ... weed control to predator control.” Among the points discussed were issues surrounding the Agricultural Land Reserve, Workers’ Compensation Board (WorkSafeBC).

Slow down; be aware and safe

Skill need to match jobs T

his school year in British Columbia, we expect more than 400,000 students to enrol in at least one course at our public postsecondary institutions. As the new post-secondary school year gets underway, my goal as B.C.’s Advanced Education Minister is to ensure post-secondary students obtain the experience and qualifications needed to put a paycheque in their pockets. Whether they are thinking about courses to upgrade their skills, just starting out, well underway or finishing their studies – we expect there will be job openings in many fields over the coming years. As a parent of three children – two of whom will be returning to postsecondary education classes in September – I want all our children to have greater opportunities than we had. But world-class postsecondary education, skills

GUEST SHOT

chool is back in session on a full-time basis (Sept. 4), so it means we have to be careful to make sure students get to and from school safely. Students of all ages are excited about going back to school to see their friends, meet new teachers or, perhaps, they’re embarking on a new chapter of their lives. The last thing we want to happen is to have that excitement come crashing down on them. As motorists, we have to take the initial safety steps, as we are the ones driving the vehicles that do the damage. We have to remember the maximum speed limit in a school zone is 30 km/h, and it doesn’t hurt to slow down a bit more if there are a lot of children on the sidewalks, especially near crosswalks and intersections. So, here is the irony of the 30 km/h speed limit in the school zones – it’s exactly the same speed limit for all roads in the District of 100 Mile House. the exceptions are 50 km/h speed limits on Horse Lake and Exeter roads and Highway 97. Unfortunately, most people in this neck of the woods don’t drive within the speed limit within the municipal boundaries. Motorists – no the limit and drive within it. The 30 km/h speed limit posted in school zones is in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and we should always stop for pedestrians – it’s the law. It is also important to note vehicles approaching from both directions must stop for school buses when their lights are flashing. If a vehicle is stopped in front of us, it may have yielded for a pedestrian, so we have to be prepared to stop, too. When we’re dropping children off in school zones, we should stop and allow them to exit the vehicle from the door closest to the sidewalk. We should never allow our children to cross midblock. However, students also need to be safety wise and road wary to avoid accidents. They must not be distracted when they are going to and from school, especially when they are walking through intersections and crosswalks. Older students need to stop texting and remove headphones or ear buds when crossing the street. They must not jaywalk, as it is both dangerous and it also sets a bad example for younger children. As parents, we need to teach our children to look both ways and make eye contact with a motorist before crossing the road. These are simple safety rules, and if they are practised daily, everyone will have a safe and happy day.

Right now, there are more elementary teachers than jobs available. If she were to consider taking a job in a more rural or remote part of the province, she might more easily find full-time work as an elementary school teacher. We need to strike a balance between growing our economy and educating a skilled workforce with the research and intellectual curiosity that is a vital element of our postsecondary system. The public post-secondary system belongs to all of us. I believe we can maintain it and ensure its future success only by working together, continuing to engage in dialogue and collaborating to find administrative savings, while at the same time, developing programs to align skills with jobs.

Options for bringing lake levels up

Former mining engineer suggests using excess water to fill 108 Ranch lakes To the editor: In the Aug. 16 Cariboo Connector (page 2), Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Area G Director Al Richmond indicated that overuse of the 108 Mile Ranch’s water system has drawn the levels of 108 Mile and Sepa lakes. The high suction of the Waterworks’ pump to produce over 400,000 gallons per day (GPD) in hot, dry weath-

er draws water not only from the aquifer 300 feet below the lakes, but also from strata cracks connecting it to the lakes. These were identified by provincial agrologist Kevin Bennet. By 2001, the lakes had filled to overflow with water from the Tubbs Lake watershed. That year, this water flow, ceased and the lakes levels

have dropped some seven inches each year attributed to these strata-crack leakages. (Three inches of the total drop of 10 inches goes to the essential irrigation of the golf course.) The CRD’s new restrictions are a wise decision. The demand will be halved to some 200,000 GPD – less suction and less leakage.

Paragraph provided bemusement for reader To the editor: Maybe it’s the “sulphur” in the air out here at Sulphurous Lake. But in the story on Mr. Van Osch’s step-aside as school board chair, headlined Van Osch resigns as SD 27 chair, on the front page of the July 31 Free Press, there was this bit of bemusement: “In September 2014, the October municipal elections begin.”

For the nearly 25 years we have cabined here, we have always appreciated the slower pace the Cariboo champions. But a one-month running head start to get to the polling booths...? Or is it the case here for folks to “Vote early, vote often?” W. Baird Blackstone Sulphurous Lake

In addition to the CRD’s action in reducing leakages via strata cracks, there are two additional actions that could be taken, and all combined, could restore the lakes to overflow level by the year 2020.

Firstly, the idle pump capacity of 300,000 GDP could be pumped into the lakes during the eight non-irrigation months. Secondly, the emergency capacity for firefighting of the 106 Mile and Easzee Drive

wells could be coursed through existing waterways to Sepa Lake. The additional cost of these proposal to Waterworks’ customers is calculated by me as $10 per annum. I am a retired mining engineer and all

Neil Duncan 108 Mile Ranch

A summer morning in the Cariboo To the editor: I got up early this morning, made tea and went outside and sat in a chair. At first, you think you are the only thing up until you see them flying about- butterflies in search for food, flies, grasshoppers and ants crawling in the grass. Then a breeze moves spider webs on the pale wide fence, and they make all kinds of colours as they move. The bees and bugs start to fly about, as a robin screams his call over its area. The call of a large red-headed woodpecker can be heard across the road, and then the thumping of its beak pecking away at a tree. A squirrel chatters beside me

in the bush saying good morning. Just then a deer walks up to the fence and gracefully leaps over it and begins to feed on the freshly cut grass of the day before. I just sit in my chair watching, as a car goes by, the deer just looks up and then continues to eat. The woodpecker comes to the poplar tree in the front yard and starts working on it, pecking and swallowing any bugs it uncovers; getting tired of the poplar, it moves to an old low stump and starts working on it. It moves the old bark away, and starts eating the bugs under it, then it starts on the stump itself, peeling and eating away; soon it is into the

softer wood inside and it eats all it can see. The deer walks up to and eats it way to the old stump, not caring about the woodpecker. A loud truck goes over the cattle guard, and it scares the deer. It leaps away in two bounds into the bush and over the fence; it is gone. The woodpecker continues to eat his fill of bugs and then flies off to its nest somewhere in the back of our place. The smaller birds start coming to the bird feeder to feed. It is perfect beginning to the day.

If Prime Minister Stephen Harper owned a dart board, it would probably have a well-punctured photo of Mike Duffy pinned in the middle of it. Not only has the prime minister’s personal approval rating taken a beating over Senator Duffy’s expense claims, he’s lost the best chief of staff he ever had. And his Conservative party is now in second place, just ahead of the NDP in the polls and well back of the hated Liberals. Over at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, we’re thankful that Senator Duffy and his colleagues, senators Pamela Wallin, Patrick Brazeau and Mac Harb are being made to account for their expense claims. We’re also pleased the Senate, after decades of denial, is bringing in Canada’s Auditor General to examine the books of every senator. Senators, and MPs for that matter, need to be accountable for their spending. They need to put the details of their spending – including their receipts and contracts – online for all Canadians to see. MPs are still dragging their feet on that issue, despite the downside of big scandals when Canadians accidentally find

Staffers who fall short will get a game plan to improve their performance and a deadline. If they succeed, everybody wins. If they fail, then they will be demoted or terminated. “Either poor performers improve and become productive employees or we will let them go,” Clement said. “We owe it to Canadians and we owe it to the vast majority of committed, hard-working public servants to make sure everyone is pulling their weight.” It’s refreshing to hear these words coming from the mouth of a federal cabinet minister. To translate these words into effective action will be difficult. To reward hard work and punish fraudulent sick claims, to save taxpayers’ money and raise the productivity of federal employees, will require determination, persistence, and the focused attention of federal politicians, senior executives, managers and frontlevel workers. Taxpayers need to hold them to account if should they fall short on their promises, but this is a worthy initiative, and it deserves our praise. Gregory Thomas is the federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Lesley Smith, North District media relations officer. Smith said RCMP have confirmed that a lone male entered the school at approximately 4 a.m. on Aug. 23 and once inside, the suspect went on a rampage and smashed TV’s, smart boards, computers, interior and exterior windows. Paint was also found dumped on the floors and computers. “The damage sustained to the school was estimated at $100,000,” Smith said. “The community is in shock and the children are visibly upset over this senseless act of violence.” The Bella Bella Community school has been undergoing construction (rebuilding) for the past year and was nearing completion. The school houses grades kindergarten to grade 12 and has as many as 170 students and 56 staff members.

Earthquake shakes Merritt

MERRITT — A 2.6 magnitude earthquake shook Merritt Friday (Aug. 23) night at about 9:26 p.m. and residents around the city and the Nicola Valley could feel it. The Geological Survey of Canada confirmed the earthquake was located about 20 kilometers north of Merritt. There were no reports of damage, nor would any be expected from an earthquake below a magnitude of 5. Garry Rogers, an earthquake scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada in Victoria said the small earthquake is the result of seismic activity under North America. He said the continent is drifting gradually westward, rubbing up against the Pacific plate, creating an east-west squeezing effect, which occurs throughout North America.

I’d say yes, Canada Post needs to lower its costs. There are so many other ways of getting information today.

Yes, I think so. Even if they reduced my community box delivery, too, I wouldn’t mind. I’d not want to lose the service altogether.

No. I think it ‘begins at home’. They need to look at their own expenses first before cutting services to cut costs.

Predators, fences, slaughter, weeds on Pat Pimm’s area agenda From A7

Pimm also visited Findlay Meats facility, which is getting close to the return of its slaughter capacity. “The new [permanent] mobile abattoir is going to be here, probably before the end of the month, and it’s all set to get that in operation.” He notes in 2014, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency will no longer be on contract to inspect B.C.-licensed meat facilities, so his ministry is currently in the process of hiring and training provincial inspectors to phase into its meat facilities. “By Jan. 1, we will have full and complete transition. We think we are going to have a fantastic system, and safety is paramount to the whole program.”

“

There are different discussions around it, obviously, but at least we are getting something for local folks in 100 Mile House and the surrounding area. – Pat Pimm

Pimm adds he has visited many of the province’s abattoirs during his tour, which is “pretty important” to him now that meat regulations fall into the Agriculture folio, rather than under the Ministry of Health. He alluded to some criticism from other communities that continue to have no slaughter facilities.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for the folks here.

A trip to the Country Prime Meats near Lac la Hache was another part of his South Cariboo tour, Pimm adds. “What a fantastic facility we have out there.

Fire department closure looms Volunteers desperately needed to keep area fire department running

The Watch Lake-North Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department (WLNGLVFD) is in danger of closing if new volunteers are not found soon. WLNGLVFD vice-president Brian Rusaw says the department is now in a critical position with the current low membership of resident volunteer firefighters. “We have a good, working volunteer fire department, but half of them are “snowbirds.” So, when they leave [for winter], it puts a fairly large burden on the remaining members at hand.” This threatens the viability of the WLNGLVFD, he explains, and is leaving the service almost unmanageable. “We also have a number of aging volunteers. It’s the same group of volunteers all the time, and they volunteer for everything.” While this problem isn’t unique, since most volunteer fire departments struggle to maintain firefighters and

first responders, Rusaw notes something needs to be done. “We’ve had some response, but not enough.” The last ad and poster campaign run by WLNGLVFD didn’t attract a single new recruit, he adds. Applicants must be reasonably fit and healthy and commit to two hours per week of practice and emergency call-out response when possible, Rusaw explains. “As long as you’re willing to help out when you are available, we can use you.” No experience is required and all training and gear is provided at no cost to volunteers. He notes a closure of the WLNGLVFD means residents will lose not only their area fire protection and first responders, but potentially their home’s fire insurance as well. For more information, call fire chief Andy Palaniak at 250-456-7460.

Several people affected by 12-hour loss of power From A11

97 was unaffected, but the houses running along North Bonaparte Road starting next door to her were all out of power all day. Lone Butte rancher Ann Armann says she was affected, as a huge pot of meat was ruined when the electricity went off as she

was outside doing ranch chores. She notes her misfortune began when her goats inadvertently unplugged a meat freezer, so Armann had worked quickly that same morning to prepare a huge slow-cooked meal, to preserve and refreeze the meat. When she returned that evening

to a dark house and a warm, half-raw potful of meat, the whole lot went to dog food. “It was a shame, all right – it was a lot of meat. Of course, it all had to happen on the same day.” No information was available from RCMP at press time on the location or details of the MVI.

Outdoor movie night coming to 100 Mile House

MODEL MUTTS

Gaven Crites Free Press

Gaven Crites photo

The Mixed Up Mutts Society turned the “catwalk” into the “dogwalk” at the Doggy Fashion Show Fundraiser on Aug. 24. Horse Lake resident McKenzie White, 8, hit the runway outside of Andre’s Electronic Experts store in 100 Mile House with her dog, Lily, a Royal Palm Shih Tzu. Andre’s Electronics manager Amanda Usher, back, was the master of ceremonies. Mixed Up Mutts Society, a not-for-profit rescue shelter, raised $742.50 at the event.

The 100 Mile House Waterpark Society is inviting area residents to a movie night in Centennial Park on Sept. 14. With the help of Success By 6 – an initiative dedicated to early childhood development – the society has arranged for Fresh Air Cinema, an outdoor movie company, to show a “new release family movie” at the 100 Mile park on a giant inflatable screen the night of Sept. 14. Admission is by donation, says Jamie Hughes, co-founder of the Waterpark Society. The movie starts at 8:30 p.m., but people are welcome to find a spot and set up chairs or lay down a blanket under the night sky anytime after 8 p.m. (The name of the film can’t be released in the

Monument unveiling slated

Carole Rooney Free Press

The unveiling of the C.P. Air Flight 21 monument at the South Cariboo Visitor Centre will take place on Aug. 31 at 1 p.m. District of 100 Mile House Counsellor Dave Mingo will attend on behalf of the municipality. Mayor Mitch Campsall says he will be out-of-town or otherwise would have been there, as he acknowledges the importance of the historic event. Local resident Ruth Peterson came up with the concept to build a rock cairn in 100 Mile

House as a memorial to the 52 people who lost their lives in a tragic plane crash near the community 48 years ago. While the remnants of the Douglas DC-CB remain at the crash site near Dog Creek, Peterson says she felt it isn’t easily accessible to the victim’s family and friends. To make the cairn a reality, she has raised funds along with a group of others, including local resident Didi Henderson who lost her father, Wallace, in the crash. The cairn will now help bring awareness

to the tragedy, and its location in town offers central place for people to visit and reflect on their loved ones. It also honours the numerous local people who helped in search efforts when the plane went down. Peterson had originally hoped to have the cairn completed by July 8 to commemorate the anniversary of the crash, but ran into an unfortunate hurdle when the memorial plaque could

not be manufactured in time. The Canadian Pacific Air Lines Flight 21 was flying from Vancouver to Whitehorse on July 8, 1965 when it crashed about 40 kilometres west of 100 Mile House. All of the 46 passengers and six crew members perished in the crash, which an inquest determined was the result of a bomb explosion, the source of which was never determined.

CEFC providing FASD awareness

The Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) is celebrating FASD Awareness Week on Sept. 9-16 in 100 Mile House. Sept. 9 is International Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Awareness Day. FASD is an umbrella term, which describes the range of effects that can occur in an individual who was exposed to alcohol during

pregnancy. The effects may include physical, mental, behavioural and or learning difficulties – with possible lifelong implications. This day – the ninth day of the ninth month was chosen to emphasize how important it is for women to avoid drinking alcohol

ElianE WannEr- Van Osch

in the nine months of pregnancy. FASD is often described as an “invisible disability” because those affected may not show any physical signs of their disability. Symptoms of FASD are more likely to appear in behaviours, such as hyperactivity, lack of focus,

immature social behaviour, poor judgment, poor problem-solving skills and difficulty learning from consequences. It is important to recognize FASD is caused by a brain injury. Supporting affected individuals requires changing expectations and the environment rather than expecting the individual to change. Although incurable, FASD is

preventable. If a woman does not drink alcohol during pregnancy, her baby will not have FASD. Communities can help prevent FASD by working together to support pregnant women and their partners in avoiding alcohol during pregnancy. Continued on A17

Summer activities winding down for residents in the Lac la Hache area LAC LA HACHE Monika Paterson 250 395-0918

llhnews@gmail.com

Summer activities are winding down and fall is nearing, as the parents get the kiddies ready for school, which starts Sept. 4. The campfire ban has been lifted, but the public is still asked to stay vigilant as the forests in the Cariboo are still quite dry. So on to some updates of happenings in Lac la Hache.

Tony Coughlan of Taz Home Building replaced the soffits, rebuilt the back stairs and deck cover, as well as dressed the north side of the hall with new wood siding where needed. In addition, Sitka Log Homes is working to repair the logs at the front of the hall. Soon the entire building will have all the logs chinked and looking fresh by Don Roach of Great Western Log Chinking.

Hall upgrades Driving through town you have no doubt seen activity around the Lac la Hache Community Hall. Lac la Hache Community Club member Judy Boehm says the hall is “looking really good.” There have been many renovations done, including the roof, back deck and the porch, which will also soon receive new lighting. Jarod Bronson of 100 Construction and his crew of Pat Lachance and Donny Norris have been repairing and refitting the old tar shingle roof with a long lasting brown tin roof. There were many repairs needed once the old shingles were removed, says Bronson. A lot of shimming, lev-

The Student High Point Trophy, which is donated by Interlakes Cattlebelles, was won by 13-year-old Cheyanne Pasanen with 38 points and an exceptional score of 84%. She was followed by her sister, Danickah, 9, with 38 and 74%; and Hayley Bishop with 33 points. In the corporate competitions, Fawn Lake’s Suzanne Franks’ shortbread cookies and multi-grain bread won both Fleischmann’s classes, which each gave only one prize. Crisco afforded two prizes, which went to delectable double-crust pies from Linda Kinnear (first) and Mandy Lipka (second.) There were nine entries in the Container Contest- the highest number ever. Entrants grew plants in wonderfully diverse teapots or kettles, and instead of points, received special, sponsored prizes. First prize, a $50 gift certificate from Horse Lake Garden Centre, went to perennial winner Elaine Kisby. Lone Butte’s Hayley Bishop, 13, placed second to win $25 from La Petite Diane Antique Restoration, and Arlene Henzel won $10 from Danca’s Hoof Trimming for placing third. Jimmy Kinnear, 10, won Best-Dressed Bicycle in the nine-12 age category. In the five-eight years category, Vincent Colbert, 5, came first, and Ethan Mori, 6, was second. The door prize, a garden trowel and $100 gift certificate for Horse Lake Garden Centre, was won by The Coffin Dodger’s Old Tyme Music leader Paul Faessler. The candy jar, which held 98 goodies, went to Port Coquitlam’s Paige Vivian, 6, with a spoton guess. Not including sponsored prizes, the fair paid out $1,195 in prize money, of which $41 was donated back to Roe Lake & District

Recreation Commission (RLDRC,) and a further $66 donated back to BLF. Cakewalks, on the hour, were again very popular, with five divine cakes baked by Linda Farthing and Kim Walters, in addition to countless cupcakes for those who didn’t win. This year’s inaugural old-fashioned races – egg & spoon, sack, and three-legged – were great fun and extremely well-supported. Interlakes youth group,

Cathy McLeod

Teen Space, is thanked for handling the races, which ran on the half hour all day.

Musical entertainment throughout the day was provided by The Coffin Dodgers, Nice ‘n Easy and Roe Lake’s Jason Ruscheinsky. A delicious barbecue was available from Sandy Sillito of Sheridan Lake.

Bull riding finals first for fair

British Columbia Professional Bull Riders Association bringing top bulls, riders to 100 Mile Gaven Crites Free Press

It might be the toughest eight seconds in sports and it’s coming to the South Cariboo Community Fall Fair in 100 Mile House, Sept. 7-8. Rodeo fans are in for a treat, says Dave Atkinson, a bull fighter and stock contractor whose Diamond D Rodeo Bulls is supplying the event along with C-Plus Rodeos from 150 Mile House. “There’s no where else you can show up, pay $15 [general admission], and see 40 bulls in one day. That’s a lot of bulls to buck in one day.” Admission to the inaugural event at the 100 Mile & District Outriders Club Arena is $10 for students and $5 for seniors and children. This includes admission to the fall fair. “The fall fair is such a great event in 100 Mile House and it’s been going on for years. We thought this would help draw extra crowds there and bring some more business to the community. “That’s why we need more sponsors to step up. These guys are coming to ride for a pile of money. “There’s $20,000 in prize money up for these guys that weekend. It’s not your run-of-the-mill $500 rodeo. It’s going to draw a lot of extra people to town.” Atkinson is talking about 20 of the top bull riders in the British Columbia

Professional Bull Riders Association who will be taking a spin on some of the best bucking bulls in the country. Of the close to 60 bulls available to ride, Atkinson named a few top ones to watch – Ralph, Fraggle Rock and Disturbia. “I know C-Plus is going to probably bring out one of their best bulls – a bull called ‘Disturbia.’ He’s been to the Canadian Finals three or four times. He’s one of the best bulls in Canada.” The plan is to have the riders atop younger bulls for their first ride of the day, then have them on the more experienced bulls on their second ride, Atkinson explains. “We’re going to match them up with some of the best bucking bulls we own. We’re going to bring a whole bunch of young bulls. They’re the up-andcoming superstars of our bullpens.” The judges base half their scoring on the bull rider and the other half on the bull. Atkinson estimates scores in the low 80s (out of 100) with the younger bulls, and says the older bulls will score in the high 80s and 90s. What’s the difference between them? “They just love their job that much. They’re usually bulls that are six or seven years old and older. They love to buck. “It’s no different than an all-star athlete like Barry

Some of Canada’s top bucking bulls and 20 of British Columbia’s top bull riders will be in action at the South Cariboo Community Fall Fair on Sept. 6-8. The rodeo event, which goes Sept. 7-8, is a first for the fair and will feature 40 bull rides a day and $20,000 in prize money.

Bonds, Wayne Gretzky, or someone like that. These bulls are the Wayne Gretzkys of the rodeo world. They’re born to buck and they’re raised for that.”

Starting at 1 p.m. at the Outriders Arena (behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre) each day, the crowd “will see some good bull rides, some real good bulls and a lot of

guys hit the dirt,” Atkinson says, adding they’re going to see the bull fighters “work their butts off.” “You’re going to see some really good scores.”

Tryouts start Aug. 30. “We’re not fighting to get signed,” Harris explains. “But, by no means does that mean we’re on the team. “It definitely helps our cause, but there’s no guarantee until exhibitions are over and the team is finally set.” Last season, Harris and Forman played full seasons in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League – Harris with the Summerland

Steam and Forman with the Chase Heat. Both guys have some previous experience at the Junior A level – Forman played a few games with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks and the Prince George Spruce Kings of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) and Harris played a game with the BCHL’s Penticton Vees. “I only got one game with (Penticton), but I managed to score a goal,” Harris says. “I’ve played at the level before. It is a high level, but I’m

excited to be in it for a whole season ... everything is a step up.” Forman reiterates that point. “Everything gets better ... it’s harder hitting. There are bigger guys and everybody moves faster.” Both players say they would eventually like to earn some sort of college or university scholarship. For now, they’re focusing on doing what they do best at camp and impressing Nipawin’s coaching staff. Continued on A24

Scotty’s Mud Racing is slated for Aug. 31, starting at 2 p.m., and Sept. 1, starting at noon. Location: Take Tatton Station Road at 105 Mile for four kilometres to Lilypad Lake Road (just across tracks) and then one km to Scotty Lang’s place – watch for signs.

Wranglers looking forward to big games, fan support

Ken Alexander Free Press

100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club president Tom Bachynski was all smiles after the Blue & White game that gave

fans a look at the top 30 skaters and four goalies emerging from Main Camp on Aug. 20. Noting attendance was just shy of 500 fans, Bachynski said it was a fantastic turnout for a prospects game. “Just going around town the past couple of days, I’ve received positive comments from people who know hockey, saying they thought the talent for the prospect game was

‘outstanding’ for an expansion team. “I’m feeling good about it. Now, we have a few things to get done to get ready for the season.” The next big event is hosting the BCHL game tonight (Aug. 28) with the Prince George Spruce Kings taking on the Vernon Vipers. It’s a fundraiser for the Wranglers and the puck drops at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door and it is festival

seating. Meanwhile, the Wranglers are also hitting the ice Aug. 28 with the squad’s first practice starting at 3 p.m. The public is welcome to attend. Head coach/general manager Doug Rogers said he was also pleased with the intensity the prospects brought to the Blue & White game. He notes there are 28 players in camp right now and he needs to pare that number down

to 23 by the end of preseason. “We will likely add a few Junior A cuts, so we will likely need to reduce the current roster by seven or eight players. Rogers adds the Wranglers will be in Williams Lake for a few practices as a result of the South Cariboo Community Fall Fair, Sept. 6-8. The Wranglers pre-season schedule starts with a road trip to Kamloops against

Forman describes himself as “defensiveminded.” “I like to jump up in the rush, but my area is keeping the puck out of my net. I’ll let the

forwards do what they do best. “A lot of coaches look for hard work as the first thing and not giving up on pucks. Being 6-foot-2, I have to be laying the body on guys. I can’t be getting burned

and I need to make quick passes out of my zone. That will keep the coaches looking at me.” Harris says he is what you’d call a “speedy forward.” “I like to make plays. If I have an opportunity to score, I’ll try to take it.” Harris has played hockey in Wilcox, Saskatchewan, so being in the area and being away from home is familiar to him, he says. Forman hasn’t been east of Alberta. “(Saskatchewan) will be a whole new world for me,” he says. It’s good experience, Harris adds. “New town. New

It will the local fans first look at the Wranglers in a game situation, Bachynski said, adding it will be exciting because the “boys will be wearing their home jerseys and raring to put on a show for the home-town crowd.” Noting the club is doing something special to commemorate

the evening, he said the $20 tickets will include a souvenir T-shirt. “We’ll start selling [T-shirts with a ticket on them] at the Spruce Kings/Vipers game. We only have two weeks to sell them; we have 650 T-shirts and then we’re sold out.” Bachynski said he hopes businesses will get involved, as the Wranglers will be going into businesses to sell the T-shirts. “We hope to sell them to all of the staff and the staff will wear the T-shirt to let everyone know the big game is on Sept. 11.”

100 Mile House was home to a different breed of athletes last weekend as the Cariboo Agility Team held its annual Agility Association of Canada trial, Aug. 24-25. In all, 33 competitors and 56 dogs ran the colourful obstacle course at Lumberman’s Park a total of 370 times. Of those 370 runs, 101 were qualifying runs. “They met criteria of time plus accuracy required at their level [to qualify],” explains organizer Roxanne Ziefflie, a member of the Cariboo Agility Team. Competitors look to qualify at different levels – standard, advanced and master –

Ziefflie each had two qualifying runs during the weekend and acted as judges, accompanied by Yvonne Babij of Lac Le Jeune. Ziefflie says the event continues to draw a number of

happy participants. “People really like coming here every year. This year, we actually had to turn [competitors] away because we were full. [People] have a great trial and everyone pitches in to help.”

Q: I am often approached by taxpayers who have not filed their taxes for 3, 4 or more years. They get behind, and then become afraid of the penalties and interest they may be liable for.

A: Luckily for them, as long as Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has not taken action to enforce filing compliance, filing under the Voluntary Disclosure Program is a viable option to avoid penalties or prosecution. Essentially, the Voluntary Disclosures Program allows taxpayers to come forward and correct inaccurate or incomplete information or to disclose information they have not reported. A disclosure may be made for income tax and GST/HST purposes. This program may be for you if you have any unreported income from business, employment, pension, or interest; unreported capital gains; misappropriated funds; or unreported GST; or if you have over-claimed input tax credits and expenses or if you have not filed information returns.

8, but I can’t get used to the new Interface. Is there anything I can do?

The short answer is: yes. The full answer is longer and more complicated. First off, many people are frustrated with Windows 8 going directly to the Metro screen (with its tiles of modern apps) and would rather have the computer go directly to the desktop view (available through one of the tiles). This can be accomplished with a variety of online patches or community-driven fixes. The best of these is probably BypassModernUI. It can be found at wesnext.com. The second big obstacle people encounter is the lack of a start button and menu to access their applications and programs. You can get around this by just creating shortcuts on your desktop to all your programs. But a more elegant solution is to use a shell extension program that changes the Windows 8 desktop to include a start button and menu. The best of these is Classic Shell, found at classicshell.net. It also adds many other useful features that are user-customizable to give you the Windows interface you will be comfortable using. As always, caution should be observed when using any of these types of programs and always backup important files first. The technicians at Gold Rush Technologies can assist you in making these changes. Computer Sales: Custom Desktop PCs; Notebooks; Netbooks; Upgrades; Gaming Systems

I am approaching retirement and have received my pension package from my employer. Which pension option is best?

Generally you may choose an immediate pension that provides you with an income for life. There are also several options to provide an income for your spouse/family in the event of your death including joint pensions and guarantee periods. Depending on your age you may also have the choice to “commute” or take a lump sum benefit. These funds can be transferred to a locked in RRSP or LIF or used to purchase an annuity (or both). Your choice should be based on your unique situation. I recommend creating a retirement income plan which provides a projection of your retirement income for life including CPP, OAS and personal savings. The plan also considers survivor income, tax, government benefits, inflation, liquidity, health and dental benefits as well as your estate. This type of planning allows you to make an informed choice.

Are You Financially Ready for a Mortgage?

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make, so it is important to know your current financial situation to be sure that you buy a home that you can afford. Get Your Mortgage Pre-Approved Getting your mortgage pre-approved will let you know what kind of house you can afford. It will make the search for your home easier and less timeconsuming. To get your mortgage pre-approved, you will need: • Your personal information, including identification such as your driver’s license • Details on your job and proof of your salary • Information about your bank accounts, financial assets, current loans and other debts • How much your down payment will be and where the money is coming from • Proof that you have enough money to cover the costs of closing the sale – usually around 1.5 per cent of the cost of the house Trouble Qualifying for a Mortgage? Sometimes, after everything has been taken into account, you may find that you can’t afford the house you want. If that happens, you may want to: • Pay off some loans first • Save up a larger downpayment • Revise your target house price • Add on a co-signer or guarantor Contact me with any questions!

Q: Do all joint owners of property have the “right of survivorship?”

A: Many people think that there is only one legal form

for joint ownership of property. In fact, however, there are 2 types of joint ownership. Joint owners can be either “joint tenants” or “tenants-in-common.” What’s the most important difference between the two? In 4 words: “the right of survivorship.” When 1 of 2 “joint tenants” dies, the survivor is automatically the owner of the entire property. For “tenants-in-common,” however, the “right of survivorship” isn’t automatic – the will of the deceased decides who will get the deceased’s share of the property. Usually, a husband and wife who own their home together will want to use joint tenancy – to take advantage of the right of survivorship. On the other hand, business people who own a business property usually want the property to pass according to their will – and so they will register their ownership as tenants-in-common. Joint tenancy and tenancy-in-common – there is a difference! Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E. Dent)

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 theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do a sale together. The bigger the selection, the more customers youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 itemsâ&#x20AC;Ś products will sell better when they look â&#x20AC;&#x153;taken care of.â&#x20AC;? 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. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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!

Extra care needed in the water

With the Labour Day long weekend just around the corner, the BC Coroners Service urges residents and visitors to take care while enjoying recreational water activities, especially boating and swimming. A recent Corners Ser vice review shows that boating is significantly the highest-risk activity for drowning among recreational water users. Some 37.5 per cent of people who drowned in recreational cases in the five-and-a-half years from Jan. 1, 2008 to July

29, 2013, were engaged in some type of boating activity at the time. This included powerboats, rowboats, sailboats, canoes, kayaks, and pontoon boats, and also those who were fishing from a boat when things went wrong. The single most effective step to take while boating in any small craft is to wear a properly-fitted personal floatation device (PFD) at all times when on the water. A study from the University of Washington suggests that as many as one in two recreational-boat-

ing deaths would be prevented by this one step alone. Another study, from the New York state health department, found more than 70 per cent of recreational boating deaths occurred when the person became separated from their water craft, either through falling overboard, the boat capsizing, or even deliberately choosing to go for a swim. In all those cases, the fact a PFD was aboard the boat was of no assistance to the person. The Coroners Service

review shows that the second-most risky activity in recreational water use is swimming, with 28 per cent of the deaths occurring amongst swimmers. The number of accidental drownings from Jan. 1 to July 29 this year in British Columbia is 45, exactly the average of the past five years and a slight decrease from 2012 figures. FAST bytes • Always wear a properly fitting Personal Floatation Device (PFD) when engaged in boating or tubing

activities. Children, non-swimmers and weak swimmers should also wear a PFD when wading or playing in the water at a river or lakeside. • Alcohol and waterrelated activities do not mix, any more than alcohol and driving do. Alcohol impairs your co-ordination and judgment, and this substantially adds to the risk inherent in swimming or boating. Impairment by alcohol or drugs is also often a contributing factor in cases in which someone has accidentally fallen

Campers must be vigilant with fire safety While the campfire bans in the Cariboo Fire Centre zones have been lifted, campers and outdoor recreationalists must use caution this Labour Daylong weekend. Everyone has to be vigilant in preventing wildfires. Nearly half of all wildfires are caused by human activity, and can start from something as small as a carelessly discarded cigarette butt. Motorcyclists and all-terrain vehicle enthusiasts should ensure they are using an approved spark arrestor and refrain from parking on grass or at sites where the exhaust system is near combustibles.

Safety precautions: • Bring a shovel or keep at least eight litres of water nearby to properly extinguish your campfire. • Campfires cannot be larger than 0.5 metres in height and 0.5 metres in diameter. • Do not light a campfire or keep it burning in windy conditions. Weather can change quickly and the wind may carry embers to other combustible material and start new fires. • Folks must maintain a one-metre fireguard around the campfire. This is a fuel-free area where all flammable materials (grass, kindling, etc.) have been removed.

• Never leave a campfire unattended. • Make sure that the campfire is completely extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time. Folks may be held accountable for damages and fire suppression costs if their negligence results in a wildfire. To find out if there are fire prohibitions in

breaking a fire ban can be fined $345. If the fire escapes and causes a wildfire, the person may be convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If people start a wildfire through negligence or carelessness, they may also be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

Making noise at 10th Annual Scotty’s Mud Drags

Booming engines, spinning tires and sky high dirt streams are part of the scenery just north of 100 Mile House this weekend. Trucks are rolling in Friday for the 10th Annual Scotty’s Mud Drags, which go Saturday (Aug. 31) at 2 p.m. and Sept. 1 at noon. The mud drags are the second to last event on this year’s the North West Mud Racing Association’s circuit. General admission to the event is $15 and children 12 years and under get in free. Two-

day family passes are $50. A total of $6,000 is up for grabs in prize money. The racing grounds – located off Lilypad Lake Road about 10-kilometres north of 100 Mile House – will have a concession stand, live entertainment, and three racing strips for the drag racers. Organizer Liesbeth Lang says they expect close to 50 trucks at the event, which has been known to attract hundreds of visitors. “They open their hoods and the guys all drool. These things are so flipping noisy ... follow the dust. It can be heard all the way to the 108 [Mile Ranch].” Racers will compete in eight classes, “from big and expensive to street class,” Lang explains. Street Class is her favourite.

“These are the guys who actually plan to drive their trucks to work the next day. They’re licensed trucks

trying to go through the same mud these enormous trucks just did.” It’s a big family event, Lang adds.

Special Holiday Hours Notice

This coming weekend’s Cariboo Open at the 108 Golf Resort will feature one of the largest fields the tournament has seen in years. The annual tournament can accommodate 120 golfers and was close to full a week before the tournament, says head professional Andy Wahnschaff. “The Cariboo Open was one of the most prestigious tournaments in the Interior of the province for years. We’ve rejuvenated the golf activity at the 108 and our membership is way up. We’re the only tournament we know of that has increased its numbers this year. We’re going to be up 20 per cent from last year.” Members are saying the course is in “fantastic condition ... the best it has ever been” ahead of the tournament, which goes Aug. 30-Sept. 1 and offers $15,000 in prizes.

Annual aviation event ready to take off South Cariboo Regional Airport (108 Mile) welcomes public to Appreciation Day

Gaven Crites Free Press

108 Airport Appreciation Day is cleared for takeoff on Sept. 7. The annual event begins at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast at the Hanger Restaurant, followed by airplane and helicopter rides at around 10 a.m., weather permitting.

Admission is free and a number of activities this year are organized for children, says Nick Christianson, South Cariboo Regional Airport manager. “This year, it’s kind of geared a little more towards kids ... to try and get young kids interested in aviation. [Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School] grads will have a display

talking about their aviation class.” Model airplanes and remote control airplanes will also be on site. “It will be more hands-on and interactive. You look around, the pilots are 60 years old or older. If we don’t encourage young people [to fly] we’re going to be an extinct species.”

He adds the airport is a top priority for the Cariboo Regional District. “It brings a lot of traffic and a lot of business in the area. Some people think it’s just rich people with airplanes using the airport. It’s actually not that at all.” Emergency services – Medevac, RCMP, search and rescue and firefighters – are the air-

108 Golf Resort in ‘fantastic condition’ going into tournament From A33

“The trend of golf seems to be down,” Wahnschaff says “But, we’re bucking the trend here at the 108 Resort for rounds played, membership rounds played and tournament rounds. We’re up in every department and we’re proud of that.” The Cariboo Open has been running on Labour Day weekend since 1974. Eight fatherson combinations will be teeing off Friday, something Wahnschaff attributes to the tournament’s long history,

devoted participants and Day 1 format. “People come home for the Labour Day weekend to play in the Cariboo Open. We run the first day with a benevolent twist. We allow participants to select who they’d like to play golf with. Certainly we have a lot of fathers or sons who come back to play. After that, the tournament is done strictly on score, like any other tournament.” The Open will have a new champion this year, as defending champion Shane Wilkie is out with a medical injury.

Top herding sheepdogs competing

Gaven Crites

Free Press

Border collies are natural livestock herders and often cited as the smartest breed of dog. Those instincts and intelligence will be on display at the Third Annual Sandhill Lea Sheepdog Trial, which is taking place at the competition site on Abel Lake Road, located 10 kilometres west of 105 Mile via Tatton Road, Aug. 31- Sept. 1. The two-day event will see approximately 60 herding dogs and 40 handlers from around the province putting a half dozen or

so sheep through an international sheepdog style course. Attendance is free and open to the public – but no pets – between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. “It’s a very different situation from dog obedience, which more people are familiar with,” explains event organizer Lorne Landry. “The difference is their instinct hasn’t been bred out of them. They have an instinct to gather the sheep to the handler like the handler is the alpha dog and they were gathering them as if they were prey.” Landry has been sheepherding for 20 years. He has three sheepdogs and two

It’s definitely teamwork, but you have to leave the dog do certain things because it can sense things the handler can’t. “The handler will leave the dog a certain amount of freedom to do its thing and direct the dog when it needs to be directed.” Three classes will be on display, which include experienced dogs and handlers, as well as beginner dogs and handlers.

Bridge Lake Fair weaving venue enjoyed DEKA DISTRICT Diana Forster 250 593-2155

Sulphurous Lake’s Siana Kelly, an expert weaver, generously donated a whole day to Bridge Lake Fair, Aug. 18, during which she encouraged people

to “have a go” at Saari weaving. Plenty of people took her up on the offer, including seven-yearold Carter Nicholas, who is connected to Interlakes’ Ruscheinsky family, and Leanne King who spends her summers at Moosehaven Resort on Hathaway Lake. Usually a resident of Salmon Arm, Leanne prefers to get away from the summer heat and crowds there, so she comes here.

Residents step up At their Aug. 8 annual general meeting, Deka Lake & District Ratepayers’ Association (DLDRA) executive members were delighted to welcome three new directors – Sandy Amy, Jane Mahovlich and Joyce Rowe. Already in office, Marty Mahovlich has become president. His executive remains the same: vice-president Al Martin, secretary Penny Continued on B6

The South Cariboo Food Security Committee has put out a plea for food donations to support the hungry families and individuals in need this summer. Local gardeners with extra produce in their plots, and the general public through non-perishable donations, are being asked to help with this food crisis.

After a summer-long rest, members of the Eclectica Community Choir are ready to tune up their vocal chords and get back to practice. Anyone who enjoys singing is encouraged to join.

Eclectica getting ready for another season

Gaven Crites Free Press

People interested in joining the Eclectica Community Choir might want to start warming up their singing voices now. The group is having its fall startup and registration at the 100 Mile United Church, 49 Dogwood Ave., on Sept. 11. Eclectica has a long history in 100 Mile House, explains Barbara

Hooper, a longtime member and retired music teacher. She adds “singing is like breathing” for many of the choir members, but anyone, no matter how they sound, is welcome to join. “We’re a very social group; anyone can join. Whether they read music or not or think they have a good voice or not. “Men, women, all ages. We sometimes have kids who are 14

and people who are in their 80s.” Registration starts at 6:30 p.m. and the cost is $25. The choir practice goes from 7 to 9 p.m. Hooper encourages people to sing as much as they can. “Music is just as natural as speaking. I come from an Irish/ Scottish background and that’s what we did. “Everyone came and brought their instrument or their voice. That’s kind of the feeling we have

Parents, Teachers and Students

in our choir. People learn as they do it.” Hooper has been involved with Eclectica since the 1980s. Today, the group’s approximately 50 members sing a variety of music. “Everyone likes different kinds of music and we cover most of it. From swing to blues to pop to rock and any other kind you can think of. “And also traditional, what you might call spiritual music, espe-

Outbreak of wasps affecting Lac des Roches and area residents LAC DES ROCHES Sharron Woloshyn 250-593-0041

sharronw@bcwireless.com

Wasps and the many varieties of stinging insects are a big problem this year, at Lac des Roches and many surrounding communities. Many residents have reported encounters

with these annoying and sometimes dangerous pests. Reactions to insect stings are varied and can range from an annoying stinging sensation and minor swelling to full cardiac arrest. Residents have been sharing their suggestions for remedies and avoidance. Foremost is to inspect the area for the source of attraction, which is likely a nest. Removal and disposal can be dangerous but is necessary. Continued on B5

Installing wasp attractors or feeders to a different location can be effective. Having anti-histamines drugs, such as Benadryl, nearby can provide relief to adults and pets with the proper dosage advice. Extreme allergic reactions require medical attention, but known sufferers are usually equipped with an epinephrine injector. Suggested topical remedies are plantain poultice or under arm deodorant. Screened tents or gazebos are gaining popularity, as they offer the outdoor experience without any of the annoying insects, and with so few weeks of summer weather left, no one wants to be forced indoors. Electronic bug zappers, installed or hand held, can be effective but the old-fashioned fly swatter or rolled up Free Press newspaper are a

cheap and great way to maintain or improve hand-eye co-ordination for the swatter of any age group. Fair enjoyed Several residents have suggested the organizers of the Bridge Lake Fall Fair receive a mention for a job well done this year. Several car loads of neighbours spent a good portion of their day enjoying the exhibits and entertainment offered at the fair. The avid quilters from our area are still talking about the wonderful needlework displays. Congratulations go to the organizers and the participants for another successful year. Land development Several residents attended last week’s public hearing for the proposed residential development at the end of Lee Road, which involves an Official Community Plan text

amendment and rezoning. While Lac des Roches property owners are likely not directly impacted by the proposed changes, residents of our area have witnessed development of strata-owned subdivisions in a rural and agricultural setting and have opinions that are worthy of note. Neighbours contributing to important community processes are to be commended for their participation. Water levels Several seasonal creeks have dried up this year, which may partially account for the dropping lake level although Lac des Roches is mostly fed by underwater springs. Shallow shoals and channels are almost impassable for larger boats and swimmers may experience some tummy tickling from the prolific weeds. Varying lake levels are not an

environmental concern, as past lake monitoring records indicate that large changes of several feet is a normal part of the lake’s cycle. Bear-free berries Thankfully, this year’s fabulous berry picking season has passed with no reported bear encounters – so far. Last year, bears were attracted to the local Saskatoon bushes and surprise encounters were reported almost daily and several highproducing bushes were completely destroyed by our hungry and clumsy invaders. The remaining out-of-reach berries seem to be attracting only cedar waxwings and crows. Several residents have commented that –what appears to be a bumper crop of rose hips – could still attract the bears to the neighbourhood. Critter watch In addition to regular deer sightings this

month, residents report otters and beavers around the lake. A surprising number of – what is believed to be – mink have been seen at several locations. These dark brown critters look a lot like a small otter, but move distinctively differently when on the shore.

SOUTH CARIBOO RECREATION REFERENDUM The South Cariboo Recreation Referendum is taking place on Saturday, September 7. We want to make sure you have all the information you need, to make an informed decision before you head to the polls.

Did You Know… Who will be affected by the changes? If the changes are made, rural area taxpayers within the South Cariboo Recreation boundary would begin paying for the soccer fields and Martin Exeter Hall Complex. Currently, only taxpayers within the District of 100 Mile House are currently contributing to the cost of these facilities. How much will the changes cost taxpayers? The proposed changes would result in a residential tax rate increase of about $20 per $100,000 of the assessed value of land and improvements. This is based on an increase to the current South Cariboo Recreation financial plan of $275,000 per year for capital improvements and operating costs of the soccer fields and Martin Exeter Hall Complex. The

250-392-3351 or 1-800-665-1636

2012 residential tax rate is $42 per $100,000 and the changes would increase the tax rate to about $62 per $100,000. If approved, what will the additional funding be used for? The immediate priority for the funds will be operating costs for the soccer fields, estimated to be $61,000 per year, and for operating costs for Martin Exeter Hall Complex, estimated to be $50,000 per year. Additional funds, up to $165,000, per year will be allocated to reserves for future capital improvements to the Martin Exeter Hall Complex. Don't registration fees already cover the cost of sports and activities we sign up for? Fees paid to sports leagues or tickets purchased to attend theatre events often do not cover the full cost of delivering recreation services, particularly when large facilities are involved, such as the arena, soccer fields or Martin Exeter Hall Complex. At the South Cariboo Recreation Centre, about 50 percent of the cost to operate the facility is covered by taxpayers. When Can You Vote? Residents are encouraged to take advantage of these advance voting opportunities because there is lower

Deka Lake area getting their share of butterflies and bees

From B2

Millway, and treasurer Lorna Wiebe. Gail Davis and Wolf Zink are mid-term directors. Residents were sincerely thanked for their help in catering Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department’s annual fishing derby on Aug. 3-4, when more than 600 meals were provided. Butterflies and bees I don’t know if it’s just Deka or everywhere, but we have thousands of black butterflies with a thick edge of crinkly gold all around the wings, and I haven’t found anyone who knows what they are. And, in spite of the reported shortage of bees, we have lots of those, too. Dubbin showcased Bridge Lake Librarian Brenda Tillyer welcomes Wendy Dubbin to the library’s Community Showcase for September. Unknown to many, Wendy is quite an artist. Even though she was Bridge Lake Community School Society’s co-ordinator

for some 15 years, and invariably donated a piece to their annual art auction, most people have not seen her stunning work. Flowers are one of her favourite subjects. Ban lifted It seems that we’ve had enough spasmodic deluges to rescind the campfire ban. As of noon, Aug. 20, it was lifted. This does not mean we can be careless with fire, and remember that the first half of this year in the South Cariboo saw a far higher than average percentage of humancaused wildfires, so be careful.

In the crosshairs: sights set on hunting

Gaven Crites Free Press

If you can’t find it, you can’t hit it. With that in mind, Joanne Dyck, sales associated at Screamin’ Reel Fly and Tackle in the Donex Pharmacy & Department Store in 100 Mile House, says hunting technology is continuously developing when it comes to improving sight, and there are new tools on the market that really improve how and what hunters can see. Dyck has been selling outdoor hunting and fishing equipment for nine years and says range finders, “Trophy Cams” and rifle scopes are getting better every year. “The arc design takes into consideration the (trajectory) of the bullet. If you’re aiming up a hill, it shows where you should be aiming at that

animal to actually hit it. If you’re a bow hunter and you’re shooting up or down, it takes into consideration how the arrow is going to fly. Wind will come into [play], but it does give you a pretty good chance of hitting that animal.” She adds a lot of hunters are now using “Trophy Cams” – motionactivated cameras that capture the movement of animals and can be set up anywhere in the bush. “If you’re not sure and you want to scout out an area, but you can’t actually be there and watch, you can set one of the cameras up and it will take pictures and video of the animals moving around in the area. It’s activated when there’s movement. “[The information] goes on a little memory card. You can take it home and look at it and check it out. It gives you a time and date stamp, so

Back to School Special

you know when the animal is nosing around and doing its thing.” The cameras range in price – $350 and over or $200 and under – based on different capabilities, such as like how images are viewed and stored. The same goes for binoculars, which go from $25 for a basic pair and up to $600 depending on how technical you want to get. Another change Dyck has noticed throughout her time in the outdoor equipment business is the amount of camouflage clothing available for women and children. “I’ve got stuff in for boys, girls and women, rather than just men. There’s more selection for camouflage shirts, jackets and pants. A lot more younger kids and women and girls are starting to hunt now.... In the past, women had to buy men’s stuff and make it work.”

How to use the chart. IMPORTANT - Your rifle should be shot from a well-padded rest, under calm wind conditions, resting forearm, not barrel, on pad. Four steps to adjust micrometer and telescopic sights. 1. Locate on the chart the exact centre of at least three carefully fired shots, using same hold and sightsetting. For example, suppose centre of group is small circle in upper right hand quarter of the chart, at the crossing points of lines 3L and 3D. 2. Following the vertical line we come to the figure 3L. This means that to ring the next group on the vertical centre line requires that you move your rear sight 3 minutes-of-angle to the LEFT. If your sight reads in minutes-of-angle this means you must move it 3 clicks to the LEFT. If in 1/2 minutes-of-angle, 6 clicks, and if in 1/4 minutes-of-angle, 12.

3. Now follow the horizontal line to the edges of the chart and we come to the figure 3D. This means that you must move DOWN the sight 3 minutes-of-angle to bring your next group on to the horizontal centre line. 4. If your aim was steady and correct on first group and no puff of wind blew any of your shots out of the group, your next group should be in and around the 10 ring. Your rifle is then sighted in for the range and ammunition used. NOTE: Changing your sight 1 minute-of-angle makes a change in where the bullet strikes of 1/2 inch at 50 yards and 2 inches at 200 yards. Fire your groups slowly, and let the rifle cool a few minutes between groups.

Ready for anything: staying safe in the outdoors

The South Cariboo Search and Rescue (SCSAR) response area is more than 13,000 square kilometres and it includes a huge mix of terrain and wilderness, so they make it their goal to be prepared for anything. Hunters venturing out in the 100 Mile House area this fall should do the same, says SCSAR search manager Val Severin. “There are a lot of different spots and scenarios where people get into trouble. We go right down to the Fraser River and across to Clearwater, so our boundary there is quite mountainous and technical. There’s definitely a wide variety [of land]. We have swift water, flat water, you name it.” SCSAR operates under the direction of the 100 Mile House and Clinton RCMP detach-

Val Severin

ments in cases where people are reported lost, overdue or missing. They’re also mobilized by BC Ambulance, fire departments, the Coroner’s office and BC Parks, so the where, when and why they get a call and how they respond to it is really unpredictable. “We’ve had five calls in the last month, but then we’ll go two or three months with no calls at all,” Severin says, adding SCSAR responds to about one or two calls

of a missing or lost hunter and an average of a dozen search and rescue calls every year. “Most times it’s people from outside of our area who have come here to hunt and stuff happens.” Forty-two volunteers make up the SCSAR. Severin’s job as search manager is to delegate and help come up with a plan and figure out how and where they disperse their response teams. A 12-year veteran of search and rescue, she notes that although outdoor gear and navigation technology has advanced significantly throughout the years, campers, hikers and hunters shouldn’t rely solely on new gizmos and gadgets. “There is lots of new stuff that helps, but we can’t rely on that because electronics can always fail. There’s no 100 per cent [way to be sure of where you are] other than going

back to the basics and having your map and compass and knowing how to use it. “The potential is there for people getting into trouble by thinking they have a GPS on their phone. But, they get outside of Forest Grove and it’s not going to help them.” Hunters are advised to have a trip plan and leave it with someone or on their vehicle before they head out into the woods. A trip plan and other resources are available on the SCSAR website. “Be prepared because you just don’t know when things are going to go wrong. “Basically, have the gear and know how to use it. Know when you’re going to be back and have a plan for someone to call for help if you’re not back when you’re suppose to be. “Have the basics of life. Be able to take water and food and be able to make a fire and have first-aid supplies.”

SAFETY Can’t get enough hunting and fishing and looking forward to your next trip? Don’t get so caught up in the excitement that you forget safety rules. As you prepare to bag some game or catch a fish, keep these tips in mind: HUNTING

• Learn how to operate your firearms or bow. • Make an itinerary and give it to someone at home. • Wear blaze orange and eye and ear protection. • Hunt with others whenever possible. Know where your companions are at all times. • Treat all firearms as though they are loaded. • Know your target and what’s beyond it. • Keep your finger outside the trigger guard and off the trigger until ready to shoot. • Never climb a fence, tree or ladder with a loaded firearm or bow and arrows. • Unload firearms and bows when not in use. Store ammunition and arrows separately. • Don’t drink or do drugs while hunting.

• Always wear life jackets in a boat. • Fish with others whenever possible. • Choose a safe area to fish in. • Make an itinerary and give it to someone at home. • Wear appropriate shoes and light clothing in case you are pulled into the water. • Carry spare tackle and gear. Don’t try to retrieve any that falls into the water. • Bring safety gear and use it. • Check the weather reports before leaving for your trip. Head for home if the weather takes a bad turn. • Be careful when launching and retrieving boats. • Handle fish with care. • Don’t drink or do drugs while fishing.

These are just some of the more important safety rules of hunting and fishing. For a complete list, take a course in hunting and fishing safety and make sure you are on top of your game!

Continued from the Aug. 21 ‘Designs for Living” Column After you have finished the repair chores it is time to tackle projects that make the grounds more attractive. Kill mold and mildew on the house, sidewalks, roof, or driveway. Stow away unnecessary garden implements and tools. Clean windows and gutters. Pressure wash dirty siding and dingy decks. Edge sidewalks and remove vegetation growing between concrete or bricks. Mow the lawn. Get rid of weeds. Rake and dispose of leaves, even if your lot is wooded. Trim tree limbs that are near or touching the home’s roof. Don’t Forget the Rear View! Buyers doing a drive by will try their best to see your back yard. If it’s visible from another street or from someone’s driveway, include it in your curb appeal efforts. Evening Curb Appeal Do your curb appeal exercise again at dusk, because it isn’t unusual for potential buyers to drive by houses in the evening. One quick way to improve evening curb appeal is with lighting. String low voltage lighting along your driveway, sidewalks, and near important landscaping elements. Add a decorative street lamp or an attractive light fixture to a front porch. Make sure lighting that’s visible through front doors and windows enhances the home’s appearance. Landscaping Decisions There are times that adding elements to your landscaping can improve curb appeal, but there are other times when removing something is even more effective. For example, there was a large brick house with large white columns. Tall evergreens, planted in front of each column, had grown taller than the roof and obscured the columns and windows and made it difficult to see the front of the house. The owner trimmed them back, but it didn’t do the trick. She then yanked them out of the ground, instantly boosting the home’s curb appeal. More Curb Appeal Tips If you can budget it, a fresh paint job does wonders for a dingy house. Drive around your town to find color schemes that are appealing. Install a more attractive front door, maybe something with leaded glass inserts. If you can’t justify the cost of a new door, consider replacing plain doorknob hardware with something more attractive. If you brainstorm, you’ll find that there’s a solution to most problems—one that lets you stay within your budget. The trick is to find the areas where improvements are needed, then work on them as best you can.

Construction continues at the 108 Mall in the 108 Mile Ranch. The frontage wall is getting a major upgrade, including the main entrance that should provide easier access to the building. Hopefully, everyone who has have been shopping there has observed the new changes to the building. Revised sprinkling restrictions The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has increased the current sprinkling regulations for the 108 Mile Ranch due to the over use by a some residents. Hopefully, most people have received the latest public notice from the CRD. Sprinkling is now allowed for even-num-

bered addresses on even-numbered days, and odd-numbered addresses on odd-numbered days. Sprinkling times are 6 to 8 a.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. The CRD has received a report from consultant Kala Geosciences about the Sepa and 108 lakes concerning the community wells, the aquifer, the condition of the system and its ability to supply the 108 with a sustainable water system. Hopefully, the CRD will call a meeting this fall to bring us all up to date, and it would be a good meeting to attend. Folks interested in more information can go to the CRD website at www.cariboord.bc.ca or call 250-392-3351 or toll free at 1-800-6651636.
