Caitlyn Quesnel was one of approximately 400 spectators to attend the recent Movie Night in the Park in Centennial Park in 100 Mile House Saturday. The fundraising event for the 100 Mile House Waterpark Society was sponsored by Success by 6 and featured a computer-animated family movie on a large inflatable projection screen. Society spokesperson says close to $4,000 was donated.

Area L - Director Bruce Rattray Interlakes Community Hall - Saturday, Oct. 12 1 p.m.

Vote on Aviva Community Fund site daily A click of a mouse helps 100 Mile House Waterpark Society

Ken Alexander Free Press

Jamie Hughes, spokesperson for the 100 Mile House Waterpark Society, urges all South Cariboo and area residents to log on to their computers every day, go to The Aviva Community Fund website and vote for the waterpark in Centennial Park.

“We need everyone’s support to take a minute out of their day and log on to The Aviva Community Fund. We have submitted our waterpark idea for the second year and we need votes!”

Folks just need to go to www.aviva communityfund.org/ ideas/acf16807 (100 Mile House Waterpark Society is at the top of the list), register and enter their votes.

Then log into the site and vote on a daily basis until 9 a.m. on Oct. 13.

After Oct. 13, the top 30 vote-getters move into the next round.

After three rounds, the top 90 groups will enter the semifinals, and then 30 groups move to the finals, which run from Dec. 18 and Jan. 28.

The 100 Mile House Waterpark Society is in the large project category - $100,000

to $150,000.

As of 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 1, the waterpark society had 193 votes and was in 64th place – leader was at 1,256 votes.

If the local society wins, Hughes says they

will earmark the funds to purchase the lift gates for the waterpark.

“It’s for a chance at $100,000-$150,000 and it draws a lot of attention to the Waterpark. “If the entire community gets

behind it, it’s so doable.

Please vote and help spread the word. Thank you for your time.”

Folks who have questions can contact Hughes at smallexplorersfamily daycare@hotmail.ca.

During these Town Hall sessions, the CRD will be seeking input and direction to develop the 2014 budget and five year financial plan. Residents will also have an opportunity to provide feedback about services provided in your area.

South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce (SCCC) president Jennifer Appleby is headed for an exciting new life experience when she travels to China, Oct. 7-15.

“I am going with the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce,” says Appleby.

“The tour operator [Citslinc International Inc.] only deals with Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade.”

The trip was offered to Appleby and other British Columbia chambers of commerce presidents (or executive directors) at a reduced rate, in order to help it find new partner groups, she explains.

While it was on her “bucket list” to visit China someday, Appleby adds she might not have made it there without this opportunity.

“It is a once-in-alifetime opportunity to visit a completely foreign country and a completely fascinating place to see. I think it is going to be extremely interesting.”

The tour operator secures bulk reservations and then offers partnered business groups a package deal at about half the normal cost, which, she notes, could provide another perk for SCCC membership.

“So, it is [oversees] flights, four-star hotels, three meals a day, and your in-country flights because you go from

Prescribed burns to restore grassland

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations advises that prescribed burning is planned for several areas west and south of Williams Lake until Oct. 31, weather conditions permitting.

Smoke may be seen in surrounding areas.

These burns are being managed under the Ecosystem Restoration Program to help restore native grassland ecosystems.

The following areas will be treated using prescribed fire: • Beecher’s Prairie (Highway 20 at the Toosey turnoff): approximately 220 hectares; • Bald Mountain (south of Riske Creek): approximately 150 ha; • Deer Creek (Alexis Creek area): approximately 100 ha; • Crow’s Bar (Fraser River area, south of Dog Creek): approximately 3,000 ha; and • Ward Creek (Fraser River area, north of Gang Ranch): approximately 400 ha.

Historically, the grasslands in the Cariboo-Chilcotin were

renewed through frequent, low-intensity ground fires. Such fires prevented tree encroachment, rejuvenated understory plants and helped maintain more open grasslands and forests with large trees.

The reintroduction of managed, low-intensity ground fires to these grasslands is intended to restore and maintain traditional grassland plant communities that are native to these areas.

These fires are part of an ongoing ecosystem restoration program administered by the provincial government in consultation with First Nations, local ranchers, the B.C. Wildlife Federation and the Cariboo-Chilcotin Conservation Society.

regeneration, as younger trees replace older trees.

Having trees of various ages in a forest helps create biodiversity.

• Prescribed burning is one of the tools used by forest professionals to achieve land management objectives.

For example, fire can be used to enhance habitat and improve forage for cattle, deer, bighorn sheep and moose.

• A controlled burn can also reduce fuel loads (combustible material, such as underbrush and dead wood) and reduce the risk of wildfire in interface areas (where urban development borders on rural areas).

• The size and inten-

sity of prescribed burns are carefully planned and controlled to meet ecosystem management objectives. Prescribed burns are only ignited when weather conditions are favourable and when the fire will not create excessive smoke.

Important factors used to determine whether a burn will go ahead include the venting index, temperature, humidity and wind conditions.

• The venting index is a measure of how quickly smoke will disperse under specific conditions. Prescribed fires may only be ignited on days when the forecast for the venting index is

“good” or better.

• All prescribed burns must comply with the Environmental Management Act’s open burning smoke control regulation, which helps minimize the amount of smoke that’s produced.

• A prescribed burn is ignited and continuously monitored by trained firefighting crews to ensure that the fire does not spread beyond its planned size.

The fire crew supervisor (the “burn boss”) is responsible for ensuring that initial burning conditions are favourable and that the fire is fully extinguished once the prescribed burn is complete.

Rotary Club of 100 Mile House president Maureen Pinkney went out to the cook tent and selected the two lobsters she would like to come to her table on Sept. 28. The Third Annual Lobsterfest was held at the 100 Mile Community Hall with close to 200 guests eating more than 400 lobsters, while raising more than $15,000.

Lobsterfest nets more than $15,000 Local Rotary Club provided fun, seafood, prizes at third annual event

Gaven Crites Free Press

Hundreds of Atlantic lobsters were boiled and served while thousands of dollars were raised at the 100 Mile Community Hall on Sept. 28.

Close to 200 people were in attendance for the Third Annual Lobsterfest, organized by the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House, and with more than $15,000 raised, organizers are calling the event a success.

“Every year, you learn what to do and what not to do,” says Rotary Club president Maureen Pinkney. “Having the tent outside made it nice for the cooks.

Inside, we raised a lot of money. Everyone was very active in bidding. It was great.”

Proceeds go to various local groups – the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre and South Cariboo Health Foundation – as well as Rotary Club scholarships and youth camps.

Among the bigger auction prizes were a houseboat trip for four days for 15 people and a television package donated by Andre’s Electronics Experts in 100 Mile House.

“Everyone really gets involved in the live auction and outbidding each other on the silent auction items. You get a lot of competition going on.”

Rotary members were also on the bidding block, selling manpower, Pinkney adds.

“Four guys for four hours – you can

put them to work for anything. What they were bought for this year was to re-roof a small shed.

“We host a dinner for eight, and that went for $800. So, that was a good one as well.”

Pinkney says the club will be a little more active with ticket sales in the future, since the

event didn’t sell out like it did in 2012.

“Every year we want to change it up a bit and keep it interesting. We hope to get new people and be sold out every year.

“The biggest thankyou goes to all the businesses that donated and all the people who came.”

While talking about a new support group for caregivers, Keith Dobyns, co-pastor at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church in 100 Mile House, recalls a book about taking care of people with dementia, titled The 36-Hour Day. That’s how caregivers describe their day, Dobyns adds. It doesn’t end.

“There’s a relentless aspect to it. It’s not like having a job where you get to go home at night.”

The group – for anyone caring for somebody with a chronic medical condition or disability – meets at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church the second and fourth Thursday of every month at 10:30 a.m. They had their second meeting on Sept.

26.

People with medical conditions, of course, often get focused on, Dobyns says.

“But, the people caring for them are often under a lot of stress and they don’t necessarily have a place where they can talk about it with people in similar circumstances.

“Most commonly, people who are doing that are viewed by the community as saints ‘Oh, you must be really patient. You’re a really good person’. Actually people are just trying to live their lives and do

the best they can and it takes a lot of work.”

Although it’s sponsored by the church, Dobyns notes it’s not a religious group.

“I’m there more to listen and ask questions than to give advice. Our assumption is most of the time, when people hit a wall in their own emotional resources in taking care of somebody, they don’t really need a professional telling them what to do.

What they need is folks who understand

“

Gibraltar Mine hires an additional 150 workers for new mill

100 Mile Performing Arts Society

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Taseko Mines Ltd. celebrated new mill, employee increase

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett joined more than 600 guests at Gibraltar Mine, north of Williams Lake, to celebrate the successful completion of its new mill and the hiring of 150 additional workers Sept. 19.

The addition of the new employees makes Gibraltar one of the largest employers in the Cariboo. The mine, operated by Taseko Mines Limited, just completed the recent $325-million development, which included the new facility and addition to its mining fleet. The new mill is a 30,000-ton-per-day, standalone facility that enhances operating flexibility and reliability.

“The addition of 150 new workers, Gibraltar Mine is an excellent example of how the mining industry is building and sustaining communities across B.C.,” said Barnett.

“Mining supports thousands of wellpaying, secure jobs for families in communities throughout our province and continues to be a vital part of our economy.”

The new development, which is part of the BC Job Plan goal to open eight new mines and expand nine others in British Columbia by 2015, will extend the life of the mine until 2039.

“The new jobs at the Gibraltar Mine will create a stronger, more

“With the recent completion of its new mill, we can look forward to Gibraltar remaining an important part of our regional economy for decades to come.”

FAST bytes • Gibraltar mine employs 700 people in the Cariboo.

• In 2012, more than 30,000 people were employed in mining, mineral exploration and related sectors. This is significant growth since 2001 when only 14,700 people were employed in mining.

• As committed in the BC Jobs Plan, eight new mines will open and nine will be expanded by 2015. This will

result in: • An increase in annual mine-operation revenue by $1.6 billion.

• Approximately 2,000 jobs during construction.

• 2,000 new direct jobs and 3,000 indirect jobs during the operating life of the mine.

• Sustain 12,500 existing jobs (5,000 direct and 7,500 indirect).

• $150 million annually in government revenue.

• British Columbia already is more than halfway toward achieving the BC Jobs Plan goals.

economically vibrant Cariboo region with security for families for many years to come,” said Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes.

“This just emphasizes the importance of the mining industry to this region and to our province,” the Cariboo North MLA added.

Mineral exploration and mining are important economic drivers for B.C. The production value of B.C.’s mining industry was approxi-

mately $8.3 billion in 2012.

Since the BC Jobs Plan was released, two new mines are in operation, and six more are under construction or permitted. The province also has approved six major expansions of existing mines.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said Gibraltar Mine is very important to the economic development of the Cariboo, and is one of the biggest employers in our region.

Barnett also noted it was “a sincere pleasure” to extend her best wishes and congratulations to the CFEC. “Thank you for helping to strengthen the quality of personal, family and community life for the past 25 years in the South Cariboo.”

De Paoli added CFEC was very honoured to have its founding executive director and first counsellor, Carol Myers, attend as a special guest.

“Carol shared how she started CFEC because she wanted 100 Mile House families to have access to the same help and services that she received in Williams Lake when she experienced her own challenges.”

Another special guest, which De Paoli called a “star of the event,” was Carrie Gould, a single mother who had four children and twins on the way when she first

came to the community, where she knew not a soul.

One of the many mothers who has benefited by the services provided by CFEC, Gould called the staff at the centre her “angels” for helping her back then, De Paoli added.

“Carrie said that as soon as she walked in the door of the centre, she felt welcome and at home. The services and support she received helped her to deliver two healthy twin boys – Mack and Levi – who were smiling throughout their mom’s speech.”

Everyone then enjoyed a piece of the large and delicious anniversary cake laden with fruit and whipped cream.

During the event, folks were encouraged to become members of CFEC, an invitation De Paoli also extends to the community at large.

Everyone is asked to consider membership as a great way to con-

gratulate CFEC on 25 years of service.

“Our goal is to recruit 100 new members to CFEC this fall through our inaugural membership drive.”

Province should review more roadside driving bans: NDP

Jeff Nagel

Black Press

The NDP’s justice critic is urging the province to overhaul its process for reviewing roadside driving bans imposed on drinking drivers in light of a recent court ruling.

Leonard Krog said the B.C. Liberal government should proactively offer to re-review other cases if the procedure for weighing challenges turns out to have been incorrect.

The B.C. Supreme Court this month quashed one roadside driving ban that had been upheld in the review process, deciding a report setting out guidelines for use of alcohol-screening devices was inadmissible.

Defence lawyers say the ruling could be grounds for many more roadside prohibitions to be appealed.

Krog said the government must be scrupulously fair in how it handles challenges of the penalties because they take effect immediately and are dispensed at the roadside by police, not a judge.

“In our zeal to get drunk drivers off the road, which is something we all share, it doesn’t mean you get to disregard the rights of citizens to fairness in the hearing process.

It clearly opens up the possibility of many other people asking for judicial reviews.”

Government lawyers are still reviewing the implications of the overturned decision.

However, Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the ruling appears to be largely procedural and unlikely to threaten the three-year-old legislation underpinning the Immediate Roadside Prohibitions.

“When you have a new program, you can expect that people are going to take runs at it.

But fundamentally, the legislation remains very sound.”

Anton said about 1,500 roadside prohibitions are issued each month and just two per cent on average are successfully challenged.

Alcohol-related fatalities have plunged 51 per cent since the expanded system of suspensions kicked in nearly three years ago – replacing criminal prosecutions of many impaired drivers – and the government estimates 143 lives have

been saved.

Anton said the regulations continue to have a powerful effect deterring people from drinking and then driving.

“People understand the immediate serious consequences that flow from that.”

Drivers who get an Immediate Roadside Prohibition can lose their driving privileges for up to 90 days, have their vehicle impounded and face hefty fines as well as costly installation of an ignition interlock device in

their vehicle.

Documents recently disclosed under Freedom of Information show drivers who challenge their rulings to the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles aren’t told if the screening device used to test them was later found to be inaccurate.

They’re merely told their driving prohibition was deemed invalid, without provision of specific reasons, usually weeks after the vehicle was impounded and the licence suspended.

Whistlestop Cafe closing

By Karen Schuurman It was bittersweet for Kelly Harrop, owner of Kelly’s Whistlestop Cafe in downtown Lone Butte.

After a good seven-year run, she has decided to close the doors of her neighbourhood gathering spot.

There were a few tears, a lot of hugs, and some laughter to go with beautiful flowers, as many of her regulars came by on her last day of business to extend their well wishes.

On behalf of the entire community, we wish her good luck in her future endeavours.

Longtime customers dropped into Kelly's Whistlestop Cafe in Lone Butte last week to say goodbye to Kelly Harrop who has closed the doors to the popular gathering place.
