ONE PERCENT REALTY

100 Mile House and Surrounding Area

During the District of 100 Mile House committee of the whole meeting on Oct. 8, councillors discussed a Cariboo Regional District (CRD) referral package bylaw proposal to allow medical marijuana productions as a permitted use in heavy industrial zones.

The federal government is

ending authorized medical marijuana production by individuals for their own medical purposes on March 31, 2014.

Under the new federal regulation, which went into force this past June, production will not be allowed in homes, but must occur in a licensed facility and land-use zoning bylaws must be respected.

The CRD was seeking input from several jurisdictions within the regional district and 100 Mile

House was one of them.

Local councillors had differing opinions and concerns during the discussion, Mayor Mitch Campsall says, adding the CRD board had heard RCMP concerns when Inspector Warren Brown of the Williams Lake RCMP spoke at the Oct. 4 meeting.

“There are a lot of concerns out there.... It’s not going to be a slam dunk – that’s for sure.

“I’ve heard concerns that wher-

ever these grow-ops are going to be, it’s possible organized crime might not be far behind....”

Campsall says he is aware of several people in the area using medical marijuana to manage pain.

“I don’t know enough about it, but it is helping a lot of people.

The new law is not going to allow them to grow it anymore and

Free Press

The 100 Mile Community Hall was rocking with laughter the night of Oct. 4.

Hundreds of people were in attendance to watch three stand-up comedians – headliner Dan Quinn, Kyle Bottom and Ivan Decker – perform, and the noise in the building was proof they were not disappointed.

The event saw 260 tickets sold and a total of $625 raised for a downtown revitalization project organized by the Hun City Hunnies, a non-profit community improvement society.

The project will see fire hydrants on Birch Avenue in 100 Mile House repainted by local artists. The group estimates it will cost of about $2,500.

“We raised a good chunk of money,” says Hun City Hunnies member Jennifer Frizzi.

“We’re focusing on our fire hydrant project until it’s completed. Our plan is to complete that project by next spring.

“All the events we’re going to be hosting until then – 20 per cent of the proceeds raised are going toward that project.”

We’re fighting to make trans fats history.

Comedian Dan Quinn headlined a night of standup comedy at the 100 Mile House Community Hall on Oct. 4. The event was organized by the Hun City Hunnies, a non-profit community improvement society, and also featured comedians Kyle Bottom and Ivan Decker.

Net proceeds from the comedy night were $1,100. Twenty per cent of that, along with 50/50 draw proceeds, is going to the fire hydrant project with the rest set aside for future events. The group is planning a familyfriendly magic show in January.

“I thought [the comedy show] was hilarious. We were very excited when we saw how fast [tickets] went. We weren’t really sure how it was going to go. Thank you to the community for all their support.”

Fees set for smart meter holdouts Extra costs coming for those refusing smart meter grid

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

It won’t be cheap for opponents of wireless smart meters to keep their old analog electricity meters.

BC Hydro says it will charge up to an extra $35 per month – $420 per year – on the roughly 60,000 smart meter holdouts for manual meter readings starting in December.

Those who don’t want to pay that much will have two cheaper options.

They can accept a wireless smart meter at no charge. Or they can request a smart meter with the radio transmitter disabled for a one-time $100 charge and additional $20 per month fees starting April 1.

Either way, those who opt to stay off Hydro’s smart grid will pay more.

BC Hydro has sent letters to households that have refused smart meters outlining the options, along with a form to send back making their choice. Those who make no choice will be assigned the $35-a-month default option.

“If you do not confirm your choice, BC Hydro will not exchange

the meter at your home, and the monthly cost for keeping an old meter will be added to your BC Hydro bill,” states the letter from Greg Reimer, executive vice-president of transmission and distribution.

The proposed charges must still be approved by the British Columbia Utilities Commission.

Hydro officials say the fees offset the expense of adding infrastructure so the grid works as planned and the costs of manually performing services now automated by smart meters.

BC Hydro states those who keep old analog meters aren’t guaranteed that will be an option indefinitely.

Crews will replace analog meters that break or have expired accuracy seals as long as the existing stock of old meters lasts.

If that supply runs out, or for people who move to a new home, the only option will be to accept a smart meter, either operating wirelessly or with the transmitter turned off.

Opposition group Citizens for Safe Technology calls the planned fees “extortionary” – noting they add up to as much as $25 million a year – and

more and they’re going to have to do something to help themselves.”

Noting he doesn’t advocate the use of marijuana, the mayor says he worries that those who need pot for medical purposes may grow it anyway and they could get in trouble

with the law.

Campsall adds District staff are going to continue gathering information, and will be inviting a local RCMP detachment member to talk about policing concerns with council.

doubts regulators will be able to justify them.

“Why should we pay not to have something harmful put on our homes?” the group stated in a message to supporters,

recommending they not return the forms.

“Hydro believes that this announcement will push more customers to accept what they do not want or need. Many are understandably upset

and confused by this latest ultimatum.”

More than 1.8 million smart meters have been installed, leaving fewer than four per cent of BC Hydro customers without one.

NATIONAL

WEEK

OCTOBER 6 TO 12, 2013

Thank you for making us your community newspaper since 1960!

National Newspaper Week celebrated Oct. 6-12 is National Newspaper Week and this year’s theme is “Your Community, Your Newspaper, Your Life.”

This year’s theme hits the nail on the head – this is exactly want community newspapers provide for the communities they serve.

People who work at community newspapers are proud of their communities and the people who live in them.

Newspaper employees also take pride in the service they provide to their readers, and happily support many community events through promotions and volunteer manpower.

National Newspaper Week is a time to celebrate the role of the 100 Mile House Free Press and other like-minded community newspapers in British Columbia.

It also serves as a reminder for those of us in the profession we have chosen to realize what we on a daily basis has a huge impact on the health of our communities.

We do this by introducing community members to each other through stories and promotions for their events.

We write the stories and take the photos of our community members’ successes, lifestyles, needs and what they do to make their communities better.

Community newspapers do two simple, but very important, things for the residents of their communities.

They chronicle the history of the community in a fair and accurate

manner, so people can go back in time to find historical information.

Community newspapers also supply the “fridge art” for the community – the photos that are cut out of the 100 Mile House Free Press and put on the refrigerator door for a while.

Then we place them in a special box that will play an integral role in a graduation or wedding album years down the road.

Simply stated, community newspapers print all of the important news about their residents, including the births, deaths, crime, good news, as well as the trials and tribulations of life.

These stories are neither statistical nor impersonal, as one might find in big media reports; no, these are stories about our friends and neighbours.

We’re very proud of these stories and photos because they are something other larger media outlets cannot, or will not, do because they have lost touch with the grassroots of our society – the little folks with the big hearts who make their communities tick.

Community newspapers also supply a soapbox for people to share their opinions, and they offer promotional information about upcoming events, whether it’s through advertising, community and entertainment calendars and stories.

If there is a great sale, a community story or piece of information that readers should know about, they will

find it their community newspapers.

National Newspaper Week also gives us an opportunity clear away rumours that community newspapers are on their way out.

In a nutshell – that just isn’t the case.

Your 100 Mile House Free Press started on April 17, 1960 and it has been going strong ever since. It will continue to be your favourite source of community news

information from many years to come.

There are a lot of good reasons community newspapers have been able to withstand the glory years of radio, then television and the recent onslaught of the social media.

Community newspapers are the authoritative source of news in your neighbourhood, around the province and, indeed, across the country.

The 100 Mile House

Free Press and other community newspapers give readers an in-depth look at important stories affecting their communities, and often these stories explain issues that are similar to, if not exactly the same as, those being experienced elsewhere in the province.

Furthermore, we are moving forward by supplying daily information on our website, so our busy subscribers can

Free Press supports community We are so fortunate to have such a caring community newspaper that understands the tremendous difference that a community newspaper can make the health and well-being of our families and the community.

We greatly appreciate the many opportunities 100 Mile House Free Press staff give us to educate the public and create awareness of the importance of focusing on our children.

We know the work of the 100 Mile House Free Press makes a difference,

as our clients tell us “I just read in the paper about a program that I think will greatly benefit me and my children.” or “I didn’t know that CFEC provides these services,” or “I just read that families need food.”

Thank you to everyone at 100 Mile House Free Press. We feel like you are part of our family making a positive difference to families in the Cariboo.

Free Press gets information out to the community Dear Chris, Ken and all of the Free Press staff: Thanks very much for all your support of the R & R Fair.

Many organizations, recreation and resources alike in the South Cariboo are in a position of needing more volunteers, and programs can always use increased exposure to attract participants.

The 100 Mile House Free Press continues to be a central point for getting information out into the community.

Thanks again for jumping on board so more people will be able to see just how many great things there are to do in the South Cariboo!

the Premier’s People’s Choice Award, will each receive the Premier’s Prize of $1,500 cash, a one-year all-access pass to Small Business BC education and experts, as well as business mentorship opportunities.

The province is contributing a total of $13,500 to provide a Premier’s Prize to each of the nine winning businesses this year.

In B.C., small business is defined as a business with fewer

than 50 employees, or self-employed without paid help. Small business provides nearly 55 per cent of privatesector jobs, employing over one million people in B.C. In addition, the province’s small

business community contributes 26 per cent of the province’s Gross Domestic Product.

For more information, link to the Premier’s People’s Choice Award application at www. sbbcawards.ca.

B.C. liquor laws get another look

Tom Fletcher Black Press

A glass of wine at the spa, or a craft beer at the farmer’s market – can British Columbia survive the next wave of modernization of its archaic liquor laws?

These suggestions are part of a review of liquor policy promised by the B.C. Liberal government in its February throne speech and rolled out recently.

Richmond MLA John Yap has been assigned to examine regulations that unnecessarily restrict business, making recommendations

to the provincial cabinet

by November.

One proposal is allowing under-aged children to have lunch at a pub with their parents during the day, as they can do in a licensed restaurant. As well as considering licences for farm markets and spas, the review is to look at why it takes up to a year to issue a liquor licence to a business.

Letters are going out to 10,000 licence holders and rural liquor agency stores looking for feedback, and a website - www.gov.bc.ca/ liquorpolicyreview - for public comments was

added in September.

Don’t expect a price break, however. The terms of the review include ensuring the $1 billion annual government revenue from liquor sales and sales tax is maintained or increased.

The review will not look at privatization of liquor distribution, a controversial suggestion the government backed away from last year.

Recent reforms in B.C. have included allowing people to bring their own wine to a restaurant, and removing restrictions

on buying wine from another province for personal use. B.C. has yet to convince Ontario and other provinces to lift their protectionist wine rules.

On the enforcement side, last year B.C. increased its fine to $575 for bootlegging liquor to people under 19. Two years ago, legislation allowed liquor inspectors to employ minors to test liquor outlets’ willingness to check identification and refuse service.

A

Small businesses in British Columbia that are stars in their local communities now have the opportunity to be rewarded for the work they do every day.

“Small business makes up 98 per cent of all businesses in the province and employs more than one million British Columbians,” said Premier Christy Clark.

“The new Premier’s People’s Choice Award will acknowledge a communit y-minde d B.C. small business because small businesses do more than create jobs – they build and strengthen communities.”

The first-ever Premier’s People’s Choice Award – part of a series of nine Small Business BC Awards – will go to a B.C. small business that demonstrates that their community thinks they go above and beyond.

After being nominated, small businesses must use imaginative, creative or traditional approaches to engage customers, clients and neighbours to vote online between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30, 2013. The B.C. business with the most votes from their community will not only win the award, but it will also receive formal recognition from the premier at an award ceremony in February 2014.

Nominees must employ fewer than 50 people and currently own a business in British Columbia.

As Small Business BC Award nominees, businesses will have access to exclusive business tools, education, support, and exposure to valuable new marketing opportunities.

Smoke alarms save lives

Working alarms should put on every house level, outside bedrooms trical power.

Dwelling units constructed after the 1979 building code changes require the smoke alarms to be interconnected and wired permanently to the home’s electrical system. Smoke alarms should be located on each level of the home and between the living and sleeping area or in the hallway of the sleeping area if one exists.

All smoke alarms need to be replaced after 10 years. Most homes have smoke alarms that are hardwired to an electrical circuit.

When smoke alarms are being replaced, the installation must not reduce the level of protection. In other words,

existing electronically interconnected smoke alarms should be replaced with similar type smoke alarms that provide the same or higher level of protection. If additional smoke alarms are being added to existing ones they may be battery operated.

In some situations, a tenant or the Authority Having Jurisdiction may use a battery operated smoke alarm to provide protection for the occupants of an otherwise inadequately protected dwelling.

• Homeowners – have a responsibility to install and maintainsmokealarmson every storey of their home and outside all

sleeping areas.

• Landlords – have a responsibility to install smoke alarms as required by the year of construction and test them to ensure they are in working order prior to tenant occupancy. The landlord is also required to maintain the smoke alarm in

working condition.

• Tenants – should notify their landlord immediately if the required number of working smoke alarms is not present in the rental unit. In the event there is inadequate smoke alarm protection, tenants should consider installing their

own temporary battery operated smoke alarm.

• Apartment managers/owners – should inspect the smoke alarms (at a minimum) on an annual basis or whenever tenancy changes to ensure the required smoke alarms are present and working properly.

Under the British Columbia Fire Code, all dwellings (homes, and all sleeping rooms sometimes referred to as lodging or hotel rooms) are required to be protected by smoke alarms.

Dwelling units constructed before the British Columbia Building Code (BCBC) required smoke alarms in 1979 are also required to have a smoke alarm.

Smoke alarms are permitted to be battery operated in a dwelling unit constructed before the March 31, 1979 BCBC inception date or in a building that is not supplied with elec-

Research reveals a strong link between working smoke alarms and reduced fatalities from residential structure fires, according to the Office of the Fire Commissioner.

Numerous evaluations have been conducted by the Fire Service using decades of data and the results are consistent. Working smoke alarms save lives.

By alerting occupants to the presence of a fire and facilitating early response, smoke alarms have been demonstrated to save lives, reduce fire-related injury, reduce the spread of fires, and reduce the damage caused by fire.

In fact, your chances of dying in a home fire may be reduced by 74 per cent if a working smoke alarm is present in your home.

Most fire deaths happen in homes as a result

Geocaching event a success

By Terri Hadwin

This summer, the Gold Country Communities Society (GCCS) conducted its First Annual Geocaching event.

The Poker Run took place over nine days with daily events at nine different communities throughout the Gold Country Region.

More than 700 people signed our logbooks over the course of nine days. We had a visitor from as far away as the UK. We also had some wonderful geocaching visitors from other regions of British Columbia. We enjoyed the company of geocachers from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Less than 10 per cent of the attendees were Gold Country locals.

This event increased geocachers’ knowledge of our GeoTourism program.

During the event, there were nearly 5,000 online entries to the Gold Country GeoTourism, as well as Poker Run geocaches.

Feedback from businesses of the area has been extremely positive. With geocachers sharing the reasons why they came to the area to geocache, it is making more businesses aware of the positive impact the Gold Country GeoTourism program and geocaching events

are having on the local economy.

Research suggests that out-of-region tourists spend approximately $150 per day.

With the success of the 2013 geocaching event, the GCCS has decided to proceed with the Second Annual Geocaching Event.

The 2014 event will take place over four days with a daily event in four different communities. The 2014 event has a “Passport to the Gold Trail” theme.

More details on dates and locations to be released soon. Because

the funding for the GeoTourism program has come to a close, we will be relying heav-

ily on sponsorship and volunteers to make this event successful.

If you are interested in becoming a part of this event and wish to volunteer, we would love to hear from you.

We also would love to hear from our stakeholders … if any of the following suggestions intrigues you: you would like to host an event at your business, ensure you are a business stop during the event, have a geocache placed on or near your property, would like to contribute sponsorship, prizes or coupons or give any feedback, please contact us at 1-877-453-9467, or

e-mail goldcountry@ telus.net.

Investigating police incidents

The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) recently released its inaugural annual report in accordance with Section 38.12 of the Police Act. The IIO was established as a civilian investigative agency following recommendations from two public inquiries led by Justices William H. Davies and Thomas R. Braidwood.

The mandate of the IIO is to conduct inves-

tigations into officer involved incidents of death and serious harm.

While the IIO is operationally independent from government, Chief Civilian Director Richard Rosenthal reports to the Attorney General.

Commencing in January 2012, his task was to build on government’s vision of independent civilian oversight of police investigations on behalf of

all British Columbians.

Since becoming operational on Sept. 10, 2012, the IIO has conducted numerous criminal investigations resulting in both public reports and reports to Crown counsel.

This report covers the period Jan. 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 with an emphasis on the period since the agency became operational on Sept. 10, 2012.

Rosenthal says he is

honoured to have delivered the first Annual Report for the IIO to Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton.

“Approximately 20 months ago, I came to B.C. to establish a new form of civilian oversight of law enforcement. I knew we would need to earn the public’s trust and ensure public confidence through the public reporting of case decisions arising from

Food-borne diseases dangerous The food safety specialists at the BC Centre for Disease Control have some tips for safely preparing that festive turkey and other Thanksgiving food.

Proper food handling is especially important because turkey can, in certain conditions, become contaminated with bacteria like Salmonella.

This can cause stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea, vomiting, and dehydration.

It can also lead to more serious complications, especially in infants, the elderly, and other immune-compromised people. As many as 650,000 people become ill due to foodborne illness in British Columbia each year.

You can help to prevent food-borne illness by being careful when you prepare and store food including turkey: • Shop safely – be sure to bag raw meat, poultry, and fish separately from other food items.

• Wash your hands and working surfaces with hot soapy water before you begin preparing food.

• Cook foods, including the holiday turkey, to an internal temperature of at least 74 C (165 F). Check the temperature with a probe tip thermometer in several different areas of the YOUTH AGAINST VIOLENCE LINE

1-800-680-4264 Stand up. Be heard. Get help.

the food and how to store it.

• Refrigerate leftover foods from you holiday meal within two hours of serving it. Don’t leave leftovers to cool cooked turkey.

Serve foods safely – keep cooked hot food hot [60 C (140 F) or above] and cold foods cold [4 C (40 F) or below].

• Follow labels on food packaging. These labels provide information about when to use

on the counter overnight.

• When in doubt, throw it out – if you aren’t sure if a food is safe, don’t eat it.

Reheating food that is contaminated won’t make it safe.

Cassiar Jade Contracting (CJC) truck driver Andy Corbitt drew some attention recently when he pulled a B-train loaded with about a dozen jade boulders into the Petro-Canada card-lock station.

He was headed to Vancouver with 12,000 kilograms of northern jade for CJC’s annual auction, most of it destined for Asian markets.

Language arts, math fluency stressed Students working on skills

By Monika Paterson Lac la Hache Elementary School has implemented the Daily 5 language arts structure throughout the school.

It includes a structure that makes sure students have time to do four vital reading and writing activities every day, and things are starting to get really moving in that department, says school principal Steve Carpenter.

The school also received the Reflex Math Grant for the

math fluency web mathematics program for the second year.

This program works on developing students’ adding, subtracting and multiplying and dividing skills, which helps with the mathematics section of their education.

10 TIPS TO A GREAT SALE! 1. Place your advertisement for 2 weeks in our classified section.

2. Call friends and neighbours to see if they’d like to do a sale together.

The bigger the selection, the more customers you’ll have.

3. Give yourself a couple of days to get organized.

4. Gather boxes, newspapers, and bags to use during the sale to package purchases.

5. Set your dates and times. The first and middle of the month are paydays for many people.

6. Take the time to clean up your items… products will sell better when they look “taken care of.”

7. Make the most of your display by setting up in a visible area such as the front yard, the driveway or near the curb. Don’t tuck yourself and your merchandise in a dark garage.

8. Label everything for sale with tape. Price it so you might consider buying it for yourself.

9. Before the sale, go to the bank. Get plenty of small bills and change to have on-hand. Keep a calculator handy for quick adding.

10. Be an entrepreneur. Make extra money by selling canned sodas, lemonade, etc., to shoppers. If you have kids, have them do this!

TNRD Library Got something System harmonizes you really want to sell? fine rates Put it in front of the faces of

The TNRD Library System (TNRDLS) is harmonizing its fine structure, so all patrons will now pay the same amount, whether an item was borrowed by a child, adult or senior.

The changes took effect last month.

Previously, children paid a fine rate of five cents a day for the majority of late items and adults paid 10 cents. Now, all library patrons will pay 10 cents.

Even with this change, the TNRD Library System has some of the lowest fine rates in British Columbia.

“We feel that this change will be more equitable and more in keeping with how other libraries in B.C. charge for late fees, which is that everyone pays the same,” says Marc Saunders, director of libraries and for the TNRD. “Our late fees, which haven’t changed since the early 1970s, ensure that loaned items arebrought back promptly, so others may enjoy them, too.”

If library patrons currently have items on loan and those items are returned late, patrons #2-536 Horse Lake Road will be charged at the rate in effect at (Pinkney Complex)the checkout date.

100 Mile BCperiods and A full schedule of fineHouse, rates, loan maximum fines can be found at tnrdlib.ca/finerate.

Phone: 250-395-2219 If patrons have any questions about the fine rates Fax: 250-395-3939 for a particular item, they should ask a staff member at their local library.

B.C.’s new Limitation Act changes time limits to sue

British Columbia’s new Limitation Act changes the time limits for filing civil lawsuits, making the process simpler and clearer for British Columbians.

Limitation periods put a cap on the length of time people have to sue, providing clarity and certainty around when liability begins and ends, and ensuring citizens have the ability to access the civil justice system to seek recourse for a legal problem.

The new Limitation Act establishes a single, two-year “basic limitation period” for most civil claims, such as those that involve personal injury or defamation. Generally, for these cases, the clock that measures how much time people have to file a civil lawsuit starts to tick as soon as plaintiffs discover they have a legal claim.

The act also creates an “ultimate limitation period” of 15 years for legal claims which may

not be discovered right away, such as undetected medical complications resulting from surgery. Under the new law, plaintiffs have 15 years from the date that the “act or omission” occurred – whatever action that gave rise to their legal claim – to discover their claim and start a civil lawsuit.

B.C.’s former limitation law allowed for a variety of different basic limitation periods and had an ultimate limitation period that could extend up to 30 years, often leading to confusion among the public, legal profession and other professions around time limits, and resulting in complex trials.

Changes to the new law followed a model that the Uniform Law Conference of Canada put forward in an attempt to develop a more harmonized approach to limitations law across the country. As a result, B.C.’s

“Don’t Dither, Call Diether”

Limitation Act now is more in line with other provinces, helping B.C. businesses and professionals remain competitive, since limitation periods can affect the cost and availability of insurance, how financial arrangements are structured and how organizations determine their records management policies.

Resources on B.C.’s new Limitation Act can be seen at www.ag.gov. bc.ca/legislation/limita tion-act/2012.htm.

While government leadership is important, especially in reducing the carbon pollution produced by the public sector, ultimately it is innovative collaborations between the public and private sectors, such as the Forest Carbon Partnership Program, that will help B.C. achieve its greenhouse gas emission reduction targets,” says Environment Minister Mary Polak The provincial program is being organized by the Carbon Offset Aggregation Cooperative, an independent organization set up to manage both the investments and subsequent carbon credits.

The province has planted more than 20,000 trees to kick off an innovative program that uses private-sector investment to stimulate ecosystem restoration and reforestation on Crown land, Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRP) Minister Steve Thomson announced recently.

The British Columbia Forest Carbon Partnership Program could see more than one million trees planted in the province over the next five years, helping to restore forests devastated by wildfire and the mountain pine beetle infestation while reducing B.C.’s carbon footprint, Thomson says.

“The Forest Carbon Partnership Program allows us to create jobs for British Columbians in the short term and enables increased reforestation of damaged lands. In the long term, the program will enhance the province’s ability to store carbon and address the issue of greenhouse gas emissions.”

Under the program, corporate investors pay to plant trees – which store carbon and lower greenhouse gas levels – and then receive a carbon offset credit. Over
