South End schools status quo for events Carole Rooney Free Press
In the wake of cancelled recesses in 20 school districts across the province, South Cariboo schools remain virtually unaffected during the current job action. Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers Association president Murray Helmer says it is pretty much “status quo” for schools in the south end of School District #27 (SD27). Recess time is adequately supervised under a
Teacher's union: field trips, recess, sports games a go
Labour Relations Board ruling that teachers must help with this when administration would otherwise need to travel more than 45 minutes to do so. Helmer notes teachers are assisting in watching over students during recess at 100 Mile House, Horse Lake and Mile 108 elementary schools. Meanwhile, Forest Grove, Bridge Lake and Lac la Hache elementary schools are small enough for
the principal to handle recess supervision, he adds. No field trips are happening anywhere, including in the South End, unless they were planned before the current job action. SD27 superintendent Mark Thiessen says this is because teachers are not submitting paperwork to principals as part of Stage 1 of job action. “Because of this, no new field trips that haven’t been approved already [prior to April 23] will be able to take place until this withdrawal of services has been lifted.” Continued on A7

Many faces to TFW program Doctors, restaurant employees part of local temporary foreign workforce
Gaven Crites Free Press
T
he much-maligned temporary foreign worker (TFW) program, currently under review by the federal government, plays an essential role in staffing different sectors of the 100 Mile House economy. Employment Minister Jason Kenney slapped a moratorium on the use of the program in the food services sector in April after allegations of serious abuses in the fast food industry came to light, and the practice of hiring foreign workers was thrust back into the minds of many Canadians. In a news release announcing the moratorium, Kenney says the government has been clear: “Canadians must have the first chance at available jobs.” The minister goes on to say any employer found to have violated the rules of the program will face serious consequences. “Those employers who are found to have lied about their efforts to hire Canadians could face potential criminal prosecution with sanctions that include fines and jail time.” While the moratorium will affect some employers in the area, others, like the local Tim Hortons restaurant, have gotten along without the program. 100 Mile House Tim Hortons owner Stephen MacPhail says they’ve been “fortunate” to hire locally. “I know there are a lot of restaurants out there in the food services sector that have hired TFWs. I know Tim’s is very stringent with how it deals with the program. I’ve been fortunate here that our labour market has been healthy enough and I’ve never had to get into it.” (At the corporate level, Tim Hortons recently expanded its oversight of the program, and took over two of its locations after claims of abuse by some of its employees in Fernie and Blairmore, Alta.) Some employers in 100 Mile House haven’t been as fortunate. Owners of the local Subway restaurant say the program is necessary to attract staff willing to work essential hours. “It’s really hard getting full-time staff members here,” says Lucky Pannu, co-owner of the 100 Mile House Subway, which employs three TFWs. “The majority of the employees we get are students. The students move on and most of them have trouble being [there to open and close the restaurant]. They usually want a middle [of the day] shift, or

very long, and she can’t force people to work the shifts they don’t want to work. She adds the government should be focusing on unemployment, and “not [removing] those who are willing to work.” The main employment drivers in the Cariboo are in health care, social services, natural resource industries and food services, according to a labour market outlook document prepared by Work BC. Labour shortages in the Cariboo are expected to be highest from 2011 to 2016. Speaking on behalf of the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce, vice-chair Leon Chretien says TFWs are important and necessary for the South Cariboo. “In any economic area in which we all want a continued higher standard of living, there will be a need for [TFWs].This need goes beyond the food industry and stretches into the trades industry and, obviously, the medical industry. “Much of the need with foreign workers is not simply to have someone to work at lesser wages, but simply to have someone to work with the required skill set.” Dr. Werner Schoeman, a family physician in 100 Mile House, is one of the people Chretien is talking about. Schoeman relocated from South Africa to practice medicine here near the end of 2012, when there was no Canadian doctor up for the job. His TFW permit expires in 2015, and he has applied for permanent residency. Schoemen says he has been listening to the news reports, and notes the issue is a “conten-

FAST bytes GOLD TRAIL CONTRACT Green by Nature awarded a contract to Gold Trail Recycling of 100 Mile House for post-collection of the Packaging and Printed Paper Recycling Program. Currently, Gold Trail Recycling has a contract with the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) for the recyclables at the Lac la Hache Transfer Station. Now, it will receive all the recyclables from the curbside programs at the 108 Mile Ranch and 100 Mile House, as well as the CRD’s transfer stations offering recycling.
Dr. Werner Schoeman is one of several physicians practicing in the Cariboo that was recruited through the temporary foreign worker program.
a weekend shift.” According to the British Columbia Federation of Labour, there are close to 70,000 temporary foreign workers in the province. A report released last month by the C.D. Howe Institute estimates about 340,000 TFWs are employed across Canada. The program is designed to help employers fill high- or low-skilled positions with eligible foreign workers for a limited period of time. However, employers must first demonstrate they can’t find a Canadian to fill the job. Some critics say the program keeps wages artificially low in some sectors because TFWs work for less money, and it’s easy for new employees to be exploited as they’re beholden to their employers for residency. Proponents say the program is necessary to fill shortages in the labour force. Restaurants Canada addressed the federal government’s suspension of the program. The lobby group, also known as the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association, states it was disappointed with the minister’s decision. “In areas of the country with severe labour shortages, the TFW program is vital, allowing restaurants to remain in business, and to continue to provide jobs for their Canadian employees. The majority of restaurant operators using the program operate in complete compliance and it is unfortunate that their businesses and employees will be hurt by this broad-stroke approach.” Pannu, who has operated the local Subway for 10 years, says the people they hire don’t stick around

tious” one, and a “tough” one, especially for the foreign workers taking the jobs many Canadians don’t want, like the ones in the fastfood sector. “They’re sort of getting the raw end of the deal now. I don’t think there’s a cookie-cutter approach [to fixing the program]. “There are a lot of different situations. I think people should be careful not to make generalizations.” A number of doctors practicing in 100 Mile House and in the health-care field in rural communities across Canada are recruited through the TFW program. “You’ll find most of the South African physicians who come into the country come firstly on a temporary work permit, exactly like the workers from the Philippines and the other guys coming to work at McDonald’s and so forth. I think the physicians probably get treated a bit differently in terms of the process.” Kimberly Vance-Lundsbye is the South Cariboo Welcoming Communities co-ordinator with the Cariboo-Chilcotin Partners for Literacy Society, which works with immigrants in the area. The organization doesn’t know how many TFWs are employed in 100 Mile House, she says. However, she adds there’s “a level of speculation” locally with respect to TFWs. “Let’s remember that any individual working in our community is not personally responsible for any policies set by the government. All workers are deserving of the same respectful and welcoming treatment that any person would expect in the Cariboo.”
STRIKE MANDATE British Columbia health-care workers delivered a 96% strike mandate to back their negotiating team’s bid to secure a collective agreement with the province. Key issues at the bargaining table are employment security, benefit protection and health and safety provisions. The bargaining association is also seeking changes to the ambulance service to improve paramedics’ abilities to provide patient care.

Roadwork hurt florist’s Mother’s Day

The paving of Birch Avenue has begun and the rotating road closures have caused some disruptions and loss of revenue for some businesses along the strip. District of 100 Mile House operations director Phil Strain says he hasn’t heard any complaints from the business owners since the work started. Noting he talked and handed out notices to all of the merchants along Birch Avenue from First to Fourth streets prior to the work beginning on Saturday (May 10), Strain says he explained how the work was going to be done. He adds the only merchant who gave him negative feedback during this process was Eddi Bjornson of Exquisite Florals & Gift because the contractor, Peters Bros. Construction, was grinding the roadway on the day before Mother’s Day. “It was unfortunate because that is her busy time and she was worried her delivery vehicle wouldn’t be able to get in on Saturday before Mother’s Day. I told her to tell the traffic control people that she had to have someone come in to make deliveries.” However, Bjornson says the disruption definitely had a negative impact on her business. While she hasn’t added up the numbers, she adds Mother’s Day is her biggest day of the year and she knows she lost money. “I’ll have to wait until Christmas for my next

busy time.” Bjornson says it was an issue for her delivery person who had to park in the Lakewood Inn parking lot and then they had to walk the flowers to the parking lot so they could be delivered. “It was very inconvenient for any of my customers to make it down to me on Saturday. Even with the customers who bought flowers on Saturday, our employees had to carry their flowers for them.” Noting it definitely affected her walk-in customers on Saturday, Bjornson says Strain knew there was a problem when she talked to him on the Tuesday before the roadwork started. “I know it had to get done, but I think it was poor planning to start it on that Saturday.” Strain says Peters Bros.

ruption we can.” He adds they are blocking off the roads one block at a time and the flaggers are rerouting motorists to the most convenient parking areas. Noting the sidewalks are still open for pedestrians, he says shoppers can park a block away and get to the businesses they want to shop at. “If we didn’t block it off a block at a time, it would take us twice as long to get the job done. While there is disruption, this is the quickest way to get in and get out.” If the weather holds out, the operations director says they hope to have the paving completed by tomorrow (May 15). The top lift of pavement started going on at First Street on May 13 and will go all the way up to Horse Lake Road.
Karen Lawrence, who is the manager at JD’s Styling Salon, says she didn’t have any problems with the paving project. “We all want upgrades to the town, so you have to go through it. Sometimes this is what you have to put up with when you want to have changes.” A&B Photo owner Allan Roberts says it is definitely affecting business, “but I don’t have any concerns because for these things to go forward, there’s always going to be a little discomfort. “When you think in the long term, not only will your business do well but the main street of our town is going to look incredible. I think as a businessman, you’re being disrupted in the short term but in the long term, I think every
business on this street is going to gain. Exeter Sporting Goods owner Jude Dion says he doesn’t think blocking the road is ever a good thing, but it had to be done. “It’s better now than doing it in July, August or September. I don’t know what they could do to make it better because there is still traffic flowing through. “They have half the town ripped up but we’re still getting customers. So, maybe they could pave at night ... but I don’t think that is an [option] but it would be the only thing better in my world.”

McLeod notes the committee’s extensive consultations with victims and victims’ advocate groups took place all across Canada. “This is what I’ve heard from victims across the country, and the different groups.

Farm lands protections undergo more tweaks Free Press
Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has introduced amendments to Bill 24, the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) Act, which consider the recent input from residents and agricultural sector leaders in the province. Letnick says he reviewed written feedback of British Columbians and also took into account the results of his meetings with industry leaders before amending the proposed act. “The comments expressed are as diverse as the province itself and have been very use-
ful in my deliberations. “The amendments allow the ALC chair or regional panel to refer applications to the ALC’s executive committee, if the chair determines that a decision could have substantial impact on the ALR (Agricultural Land Reserve).” That executive committee consists of a chair and six vice-chairs, one from each region. Letnick explains the criteria for what “substantial impacts” involve will be clearly defined in regulation. He provides examples of applications with inter-regional significance, major land or large infrastructure considerations, new types
of applications that have not been considered before, or when the local panel decides it should be heard by the provincial committee. Local cattleman/ farmer Rod Hennecker has voiced his objections to the ALC amendments proposed in the act, and he says the recent tweaks don’t alter his opinion that it should be scrapped and rewritten. He notes the creation of the separate Zone 2 (North, Interior and Kootenay) allowing commercial development on properties in the ALR remains a foremost concern. “They’re not walking away from this two-
zone thing. And, I think the regional panels are still troublesome. They are open to conflict of interest.” Hennecker adds Letnick’s brief release is ambiguous to the point that he wonders if the decision to take an application to the provincial level is going to be left up to the regional chairs, and then up to the ALC chair to determine if it will be brought to the board. “They don’t mention [if] there will be a mechanism for the public to appeal a decision.” An order in council will appoint people on the regional panels, Hennecker notes, leav-
Teachers can still volunteer

Since principals cannot receive and approve the necessary field trip applications from teachers, there would be no documentation in place for field trips to go ahead, Thiessen adds. “Unfortunately, this may mean that students will not be able to participate in field trips they have been looking forward to already.” However, Helmer says the school board’s own policy stipulates that for any overnight field trips, paperwork must be

submitted two months ahead – “so were already planned up until the end of this school year.” “Anybody who was anticipating going somewhere would have had the paperwork in prior to the start of May ... if the board was sticking with its timeline.” Day trips don’t need to be planned ahead, he notes, so won’t have any interruptions under the current phase of job action. Noting anything that is extracurricular is voluntary (such as sports teams travelling to games), he says those are also unaffected,
and not part of any overriding Stage 1 job action mandate. Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School Graduation celebrations are not teacher-organized, so won’t be affected either, Helmer adds. He explains any grad ceremonies that happen at the school are handled by administration, and any offsite events, such as the prom at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, are organized by parents. “If teachers want to take part it is voluntary to do so – there will be no effect.”

ing it open to stacking of participants. “Government is making the decisions, and they can’t help themselves but to appoint their ‘kind’ of people.” Letnick adds other changes in the act include outlining clear criteria the commission must consider in all land-use decisions in Zone 2. At the top of that priority list is determining whether the proposal meets with the purposes of the commission, which the minister defines as the preservation of agricultural land, encouraging farming and enabling farm use on agricultural land. This reconfirms the ALC’s priority of preserving farming and ensuring panels make decisions in the best interests of agriculture, Letnick explains. Hennecker says this modification is yet another piece of propaganda.
“I just don’t think it is good enough, I don’t agree with it, and I don’t believe their assumption that it’s going to help agriculture.” He notes his concerns
with the ALC changes – before or after Letnick’s revisions – are shared by many others across the province who make their living in farming and ranching.

High-Speed Internet. Where you live.
Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents. Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia. The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high. The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet. “The government of British Columbia deserves significant praise for a program that helps break down one of the last barriers to full connectivity in the province – namely the high cost of broadband installation in remote parts of BC. Now, even the most remote British Columbians can affordably benefit from the transformative power of high-speed Internet to connect them to the global economy,” said Xplornet President Allison Lenehan. Xplornet is the country’s leading rural broadband Internet provider and takes pride in connecting over 200,000 Canadians to the world. The commitment to offering every Canadian reliable, affordable and fast Internet is shared by an ever-expanding network of over 450 local dealers, including 60 in British Columbia alone. For more information about Xplornet high-speed Internet and how you may benefit from the British Columbia Broadband Satellite Initiative, visit xplornet.com or call 855-494-1079.

Who’s afraid of a little debate?
“T
oday’s BC Liberals” may have taken some inspiration during last year’s election campaign from former prime minister Kim Campbell when she said that “an election is no time to discuss serious issues.” It’s why British Columbians could be forgiven for thinking they missed something during the campaign after seeing some of the legislation introduced during the current session of the B.C. legislature. In some cases, “Today’s BC Liberals” didn’t even communicate some of their plans through a Monty Python “Know what I mean? Nudge, nudge. Say no more” sketch. And if they did stake out a position, many of their words run counter to what they’re doing now - firmly ensconced back in office. Here’s what they said last year about the Agricultural

GUEST SHOT
f you’re not leaving town for the May long weekend (May 17-19), there is a lot going on in 100 Mile House to keep all of us entertained. In fact, if you are having family or friends visiting you for the Victoria Day long weekend, bring them to town to enjoy Western Heritage Week, which runs May 12-19. If you don’t have anyone visiting, then please make sure you come to town and be a part of, and enjoy, the excitement of being a resident of 100 Mile House and the surrounding area. After the absence of the Little Britches Parade for a couple of years, area businessman Allan Roberts has worked hard to get it started again. The parade has always been the unofficial kickoff to the summer tourist season, and it marked the end of spring and “mud season” and a time to welcome all of the seasonal residents back to the South Cariboo. Roberts has already got a lot of entrants to the May 17 parade, including horses and riders, car clubs, 4-H clubs, the Canim Lake Band, local dignitaries and emergency responders. A special guest for this year's parade is Sunrise Sam who is the 100 Mile House Wranglers brand new official mascot. Everyone will be looking forward to see this high-energy fellow. This event needs everyone’s support; so if you want to be in the parade, registration forms are available at A&B Photo and 100 Mile Feed and Ranch. Otherwise, come on down to Birch Avenue and line the streets, but come earlier to get a spot. The parade starts from Save-On-Foods at 10 a.m. sharp and proceeds south to Fifth Street and then doubles back to the grocery store along Cedar Avenue. The same day, the always-popular 48th Annual Little Britches Rodeo starts at 9 a.m. and runs to around 5 p.m. The 100 Mile & District Outriders Club hosts the event in its rodeo arena behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Airport Road. This is where folks can get a glimpse of the next crop of rodeo stars and enjoy some great entertainment. Speaking of rodeos, the South Cariboo Rodeo Association (SCRA) is hosting the 100 Mile BCRA Rodeo on May 18-19, and folks are going to enjoy seeing some the best cowboys in the province trying to stay on the best rough stock in British Columbia, starting at 1 p.m. each day. The cowgirls will be riding, roping and racing for prize money and the times will be fast. The SCRA is also hosting a fundraising dinner/ dance at Jakes Pub in 100 Mile House on May 17. Speaking of dances, the Hun City Hunnies will be hosting the Creedence Revived concert fundraiser at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on May 18, starting at 7 p.m.

imagine that there was more debate over Speaker Linda Reid’s $733 muffin and snack rack than there was over the Park Amendment Act. So why the rush? The ALR has existed for more than 40 years. If the government’s plans are as innocuous as their talking points make them out to be, a few months of consultation won’t upset the apple cart. No one expects an election campaign can touch on every issue, but when it does and the party that wins completely reverses course, voters might feel like they were taken for fools. But then maybe it is the fault of B.C. voters for not fully appreciating that the B.C. Liberals might have been quite literal when they used the term “Today’s BC Liberals” throughout the last campaign. Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC.

Opinion

Liberals in a desperate 'hunt" for funds To the editor: It should come as no surprise to Rod Hennecker that this government wants to see more land removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). With the [B.C. Liberal] government basing its whole fiscal plan on the development of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry, which when or if it is developed,
any financial benefits will be years down the road, they are in a desperate hunt for money any place they can find it. Land removed from the ALR will be taxed much higher than it would have been as ALR land, adding substantially more money to government coffers. It’s the same as we are seeing with all the other increases tak-
ing place, such as BC Hydro rates, ICBC. rates, Medical premiums, Carbon Taxes, and the list goes on. We are now paying taxes on taxes. (But according to B.C. Liberal government no tax increases.) These governments – be it federal, provincial, municipal or regional – do not seem to realize that the middle income and lower
income worker along with those on fixed incomes have no more to give. We are steadily falling further behind. If we, as consumers, are losing our disposable income because of the government stealing too much from us, how does the government expect to have the economy grow when the consumer has no money
to spend on goods and services? What everyone must remember is that government or business do not create jobs. They may employ people, but in the end, it is the consumer that creates the jobs. One has only to look at Detroit City for proof of this. George Tyler 70 Mile House
Abuse of Temporary Foreign Worker Program must stop To the editor: How many more scandals will it take before the Conservatives finally get serious about fixing the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), so it does not take jobs from Canadians? We recently learned the government gave a positive labour market opinion for a pizza restaurant in Weyburn, Sask. that had its existing employees train temporary
foreign workers (TFWs) and then fired those Canadian workers. These actions violate the basic purpose of the program – to provide workers to fill shortages only in situations where Canadians cannot be found to fill the vacancies. For years, the Conservatives turned a blind eye to this sort of abuse. During the recession, just as hundreds of thousands of Canadian workers lost their jobs,
the number of TFWs rose dramatically, almost doubling by the end of 2012. It was only when the negative press surrounding RBC and a British Columbia mine got too intense that the Conservatives were forced to do something. Yet, it clearly hasn’t solved the problem. We are seeing the Conservatives pretending they are serious about fixing the program. Yet, their

of all kinds and description. Why are people doing this? We are so lucky to have such a natural site so close to town where everyone can enjoy it. Why mess it up and endanger the birds and animals like that and make it look like a
dump? There are two nice, new garbage containers set up in strategic places – why not use them? People wouldn’t do this to their own backyards. B. Johnson 100 Mile House
actions do not match their rhetoric. The government won’t even begin an audit of the program until 2015/16, and it has set no deadline for completing it. We need to get to the root of the problem. The number of abuses suggests there are very few safeguards in place to ensure the TFWP is used correctly and does not displace Canadian workers.
That’s why I wrote to the Auditor General to request an audit of its safeguards as quickly as possible so we can strengthen them to prevent this sort of abuse. Canadians expect more from political leaders than just words. Hopefully, the Conservatives will finally get the memo. John McCallum, MP Liberal Immigration Critic
New sidewalk looks great

I said, “Oh heck,” and walked down the glorious pathway of cement. A young man who came out from Lordco and he had a smile and said, “We

he NDP’s holy war against changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) got nastier last week, as it became clear it was defenders of the status quo who were being mowed down. Ever since legislation was tabled to divide the ALR into two zones, with greater emphasis on social and economic needs to help viability of farms in the Kootenay, Interior and North regions, almost all the protest has been from unaffected areas – much of it depends on emotion rather than fact. In the legislature, Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog rose to praise the late Dave Stupich, who birthed the ALR sacred cow as agriculture minister in 1973. Krog likened Stupich to the Biblical Daniel for his bravery in preserving farmland for our children’s children. Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley did his signature “jiggery pokery” routine, this time accusing cabinet minister Bill Bennett of being “giddy” at the prospect of paying off his friends with development land.

terrain and the council wants to increase its urban zone, using the “community need” provisions that are enhanced by the current legislative amendments. This was after a loud demonstration organized with the help of a fake grassroots protest machine called LeadNow, complete with slick signs and website. (LeadNow also helped round up anti-pipeline protesters this past weekend.) The media were fooled as usual, but not Summerland council. LeadNow has moved on to lining up people to flood the Agricultural Land Commission with form letters and petitions against Summerland’s plan. The B.C. Agriculture Council, whose board first supported and then objected to the ALR amendments, has clarified its objections. It wants flexibility for secondary uses extended to the prime farmland zones of the Okanagan, Fraser Valley and southern Vancouver Island.

the province Mounties make Mother’s Day marvellous Kamloops — A Kamloops family enjoyed Mother’s Day thanks to a special delivery from the Kamloops RCMP. In the early-morning hours of Saturday May 10 — one day before Mother’s Day — police responded to a complaint from a witness who had interrupted a thief breaking into their vehicle on the North Shore. While Mounties were unable to find the thief, an officer did find a backpack nearby while searching the area. The backpack contained an elementary school book, clothing and a Mothers’ Day card and present. While the school book contained the student’s name, police were faced with the challenge of finding the owner in time for Mother’s Day — which would arrive in less than 24 hours. According to Cpl Lilianne Frechette, a number of enquiries were made and Mounties were finally able to find the owner of the backpack. The backpack was delivered to the student’s father, who expressed his gratitude, saying his daughter would have been heartbroken had she lost the card and present for her mother.
Axe wielding man arrested NEW HAZELTON - On May 11, 2014 at 1359 hours, the New Hazelton RCMP and B.C. Conservation Services responded to a complaint that a 39 year old New Hazelton Man had set a vehicle on fire in the middle of Hwy 16 five kms west of Cedarvale. Reports were received that the man was swinging an axe at passing motorists and could very well have struck some of the vehicles as they passed his point. When officers arrived the man fled to a driveway of a local residence where, after a short negotiation, he surrendered to police without incident. New Hazelton RCMP are in consultation with Crown Counsel and will be recommending charges of possession of a weapon dangerous to the public, assault with a weapon, intimidation by blocking a highway, arson and mischief.

Through an ongoing investigation, it was believed to contain illegal drugs, says local RCMP Cpl. Brian Lamb. Members of the 100 Mile House RCMP located the vehicle near 83 Mile House on Highway 97. The vehicle was stopped and two adult male occupants from Terrace were arrested without incident for possession for the purpose of trafficking. Both males were escorted to the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment cells. A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of approximately 10 ounces of cocaine, 12 pounds of marijuana and around $1,000 in cash. The vehicle, which was a newer model Chevrolet truck registered to a female in

Terrace, and an ATV were also seized as offence-related property, Lamb notes. Both males were released the following day on a promise to appear for court in Kamloops in August. They have not yet been charged and, therefore, their names cannot be released at this time.
The males are not believed to be associated to the 100 Mile House area and were believed to be destined for Terrace, Lamb says. The street value of illicit drugs varies in each area; however, the combined total of the drugs seized are worth approximately $50,000, he adds.

Sometime overnight of May 4, unknown culprits gained entry to the Interior Roads maintenance yard at Webb Lake Road and Highway 24. Approximately 450 litres of fuel was stolen from a fuel tank. If you have any information on this or any other crimes in the 100 Mile House area call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Your identity will remain unknown. Should your information lead to the arrest of the responsible party Crime Stoppers will pay cash for the TIP.

Western Heritage Week Little Britches Parade rides again
The popular Little Britches Rodeo Parade and Western Heritage Week is back up and afloat again thanks to the efforts of Allan Roberts. After it dropped off the chart for two years, he says this year’s events have a theme of Celebrating Our Western Heritage during the week of May 12-19. The plan is to see Birch Avenue filled with visitors, residents and guests throughout Western Heritage Week to bring shoppers in to boost area business and bring lots of attention to the events. Roberts encourages all businesses and organizations to get involved all week by dressing up the staff and storefronts with Western Heritage
are already on board, including horses and riders, car clubs, 4-H Clubs, Canim Lake Band, local dignitaries and emergency responders. Three entries for the Williams Lake Stampede Queen contest are also signed up, he adds. “I am really happy with the amount of participants coming in.”
Roberts says he is pleased to also have a team of magnificent Percheron draft horses that will pull a wagon in the parade. The parade will have a special guest, as Sunrise Sam will be unveiled as the official mascot for the 100 Mile House Wranglers. The parade starts at Save-On-Foods at
10 a.m. and proceeds south on Birch Avenue to Fifth Street and then doubles back along Cedar Avenue. Entrants are welcome right up until the day before, but all are advised to check ahead with Roberts for the marshalling time, so everything is ready to go when the parade begins. The Little Britches
Rodeo Parade and Western Heritage Week are no longer a South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce initiative, but does have its full support and assistance, Roberts explains.

Western Heritage Week Little Britches Rodeo rides again
The youngsters kick off rodeo season soon. The Little Britches Rodeo in 100 Mile House is set for May 17. The 48th annual event will see barrel racing, pole bending, steer riding and breakaway roping at the Outriders Rodeo Grounds behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Airport Road.
Last year, the event drew close to 115 for contestants, aged 14 and younger. Start time is 9 a.m. and events are expected to run to about 5 p.m. Admission to the rodeo grounds is $10 for adults; $5 for students and seniors; and children six and under will get in free. There will be a
Good ol’ country time ‘Up Around The Bend’ The Hunnies are hoping for one heck of a show. With the 100 Mile House Rodeo in full swing on May long weekend and expected to draw many visitors from out of town, local organizers anticipate a good crowd at its Creedence Revived concert at the arena on May 18. “It’s going to be a lot of cowboys and cowgirls,” says Hun City Hunnies member Nadaya Tresierra. “It’s going to be a good ol’ country time.” Creedence Revived, a Chicago-based Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute band, is taking the stage at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre. The show starts at 7 p.m. and features Keenan Wilcox, a singersongwriter from Lac la Hache, as its opening act. “We’re really excited,” says Tresierra. “It will be a really good opportunity for us to show some people who don’t live here how great it can be here. We want them to come and have a really good time in our town.” The Hun City Hunnies are a non-profit society that organizes events and raises money for the community. Half of the proceeds from ticket sales to the concert are going to the Kindergym, a program at the 100 Mile Community Hall that promotes an active lifestyle for children and families. Members of the community voiced their opinions online on which local organization should benefit, and Kindergym won, explains Tresierra. “We had a pretty strong response. We’re really happy about that too because we go to Kindergym with our kids all the time. “The people there, you can just see they’re passionate about it. It’s local people who want to do something for kids and family, and they come and work hard.” Advance tickets for the show are $30 and on sale at TW Tanning, 100 Mile Feed and Ranch, the South Cariboo Rec. Centre and The Log House. For more information, visit the Hun City Hunnies on Facebook or at huncityhunnies.com.

Festival of the Arts outstanding Buyar: ‘We have rising stars all the four and five years up to 87 years old’
T
he 100 Mile Festival of the Arts 2014 included speech arts, piano, vocal and instrumental performances at Martin Exeter Hall from April 22 to May 1. It wrapped up on May 2 with the awards presentation and Showcase Performance, featuring some of the top performers from preceding 10 days. Festival co-chair Marilyn Buyar says the festival went very well. While it was a very busy time, she notes there is an army of 45-50 volunteers who put in a few one- or two-hour shifts to make everything go smoothly. One of the highlights for her was the first day of the festival when the schools came out for their speech arts performances. “It was marvellous. It was an absolutely packed house with lots of moms and dads and grandparents – and parents who slipped away from work for 20 to 30 minutes to catch their children’s performances.” She adds the adjudicators were very good, as they gave a lot of practical feedback and spent some time with all of the students. Buyar also acknowledged the great work by school band teachers Vanessa

Toews (Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School) and Jasmine Kreschuk (100 Mile House and Mile 108 Elementary schools). As for the Showcase Performance, Buyar says it was another packed house this year. She adds the adjudicators picked a great variety of performers for the evening. “It was wonderful to just be able to sit down and really appreciate the talent we have in this community.” Noting it was a shorter show this year, Buyar says they cut it down to just over

two hours, but “we managed to squeeze a lot into those two hours.” She notes the committee and the participants were very grateful to Matt Arnott of Kamloops who lent them a six-foot six-inch grand piano to use during the festival. “It was marvellous because they all had a chance to play on an excellent piano ... they can play their best music when they have a good instrument.” Speech Arts Awards Poetry Canadian Author – Brodi Lundquist Dramatic Monologue – Lydia Kinasewich Group Poetry (Adjudicator Award) – Emma Donnelly and Mackenzie White Humorous Poetry – Mikayla Julseth Choral Speaking – Mile 108 Elementary, Grade 3 Readers Theatre – 100 Mile Elementary, Grade 6, 7 Doug Macleod Memorial Readers Theatre – Stephanie Hilstad and M.

A capacity audience heard the Jack Glatzer and Friends concert focusing on world-renowned violinist Jack Glatzer from Portugal. He was performing with various local friends in 100 Mile on May 3. The performers included Brian Beattie, left, Jasmine Kreschuk, Anthony Lau, Jack Glatzer, Ingrid Mapson, Daven Mapson, Curtis Wolfe, Alex Zamorano, Patricia Friesen and Marilyn Buyar.
Glatzer and Friends Concert sparkled and offered an unusual and varied program of fine and seldom-heard classical music. Music for solo or small groups is often dubbed “chamber music” because it was the fashion in former times to perform these pieces in intimate settings in elaborate mansion “chambers” for the aristocracy. So, this small ensemble music with a few performers has to capture musical ideas more often heard from large groups, such as orchestras. To begin the program, we were robustly

He and I have been friends for more than 45 years, and for some reason, we cross paths frequently – in person or on the Internet. He lives in Portugal and travels the world giving concerts. The sounds he creates on the violin are amazing. He certainly proved that in the 100 Mile Evangelical Free Church. Glatzer joined forces with local musicians

Below the Belt Group hosts meeting By Reg Berrington Folks are invited to a Below the Belt meeting at the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre, #1-486 Birch Ave., in 100 Mile House on May 29, starting at 7 p.m. The meeting is sponsored by the Below the Belt Group. Members consist of survivors who have personally experienced Below the Belt diseases, such as prostrate cancer, bladder cancer, ostomies, Crohn’s disease, colitis, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other Below the Belt issues. The mission of Below the Belt is to help assist people in removing the mystique of their problems and aid in the understanding there are many who have the same issue as they do and that they are not alone. Unfortunately, this particular area of disease seems to carry an air of embarrassment with it, and the group’s desire is to help people understand there is nothing to hold them back from having a very normal life. Talking with others helps inform as well as release the frustration that sometimes they are unable to share with their physicians and spouses. With just a confidential phone call, the group can provide people with a mentor who will share his own experience of how he managed his problems, as well as help provide supportive tips and suggestions on how to figure out the best way to deal with your problems. Below the Belt volunteers do not provide medical advice. They share with their personal experiences and offer support on how they deal with your problem. All calls are treated
with confidentiality and respect. Why not attend this upcoming meeting with, or without, your spouse? Remember, you are
not alone out there, so let’s start dealing with your issues. Contact numbers are 250-791-9235, 250-7915540 and 250-791-6616
– call today. See you at the meeting! Reg Berrington is a member of the Below the Belt group.
• Renovate an existing building. • Buy eligible equipment (including playground equipment) and furnishings to support new child-care spaces in an existing facility. Preference will be given to applications that will create
child-care spaces in underserved areas of B.C., and on school grounds, where children can smoothly transition from early years programs, to the classroom, to after-school care. Construction is expected to begin this fiscal year. Applications will be
accepted during three intake periods: May 2-June 30; Sept. 1-Oct. 31; and Feb. 1-March 31, 2015. For more information on the capital funding program, including applications and criteria, visit: http://www. m c f . gov. b c . c a / ch i l d care/major_capital.htm.

Local musicians were marvellous as they played with Glatzer From A19
Local vocalist Ingrid Mapson, as I write this, is soloing with the Kamloops Symphony in “Beethoven’s 9th Symphony” on a professional assignment. In this local concert, she delighted us with the evocative “Habanera” by Georges Bizet from the opera Carmen. Her subsequent singing of the poignant song “Danny Boy” melted the audience. A trio closed the first half of the concert and involved local pianist Jasmine Kreschuk on piano, visiting but previously local Anthony Lau on harmonica and Glatzer on violin. From these three performers, we received almost symphonic complexity and conflicting musical intimacy from this lesserknown and compelling piece by the 17th century’s great W.A. Mozart - “Allegro from Oboe (harmonica) and Violin Concerto.” This selection was a “tour de force” for the three players who were equal to the challenge. For the second half of the program, we were treated to two monumental works. First, Kreschuk gave us a spirited rendition of Ludwig van “Beethoven’s Piano Sonata Opus 7, First Movement.” Performed by memory by Kreschuk, we at times were emotionally
overwhelmed by her intense performance at the Free Evangelical Church piano. To conclude the listed program, local pianist Pat Friesen teamed with Glatzer in a rendition of “Sonata for Violin and piano in E minor, First movement.” For Friesen to accomplish this difficult piece with Glatzer and to make such memorable music together was an amazing feat. Communicating by e-mail over thousands of kilometres about how Glatzer wanted to render this piece was indeed a challenge. To send folks home scratching their heads over how Glatzer could wring such sounds from a small wooden box, such as the violin, he tossed off two impossibly difficult Paganini caprices for solo violin. After hearing these rare sounds an audience member was heard to ask, “How did he just do that? Hats off go to the local players who joined with this great violinist. I am sure the locals will never forget the ideas and inspiration that Glatzer brought to our musicians in our small, yet vibrant, community. Dennis Tupman has invited Jack Glatzer to his home for several years and Glatzer gives a world-class concert in 100 Mile House every time.

Even if you plan on keeping your horse barefoot, she probably needs a trim so $ 00 she can be comfortable when you go on rides. Remember that off your horse’s feet may be tender when you start riding again. If 6lb & 12lb bags you put shoes back on her, give her several days to adjust to $ 00 the feeling. Your horse won’t want to go for a ride if her feet off 25lb bags are sore. $ Fresh Green Grass: It’s likely that your horse doesn’t get 00 off as much green grass during the winter months as she does 4lb & 8lb bags during the summer. It’s nice to see your horse eating green grass in his pasture in the spring, but you may have to limit his grazing time.

Jamie Law was third up to bat for Jake’s Pub Old Buds during the opening game of a new men’s fastball season in 100 Mile House on May 12. Curtis Bicknell of the Red Rock Avengers caught for pitcher Pat Findlay. Wayne Venos was the umpire behind the plate.

FIELD DRIVING
New fastball season underway at SCRC in 100 Mile House Gaven Crites Free Press
Umpires are back to calling balls and strikes behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre. A new men’s fastball sea-
son in 100 Mile House is underway following opening night on May 12 when the Red Rock Avengers, the league’s back-to-back champs, and Jake’s Pub Old Buds, last season’s other
finalist, went head-to-head. The boys not only knocked the winter rust off, they tore the cover off a few balls, tallying a ton of runs and getting the offence going early in the season.
Jake’s Old Buds scored 14 runs to Red Rock’s 11. Greg Parent pitched for Jake’s Old Buds, while Pat Findlay pitched for Red Rock. The Sanford & Dillman Hornets played Exeter Sports
on May 13, after press time. Exeter and Jake’s Old Buds square off May 15, and Red Rock and Canim Lake are on the schedule for May 20 following a break over the long weekend.

They were all tough matches, it sounds like her shoulder was dislocated in one of them, and she wishes she did better. Still, Tiana Dykstra had a good time in Recife. The local wrestler represented Canada at the FILA Cadet Pan American Championships, which took place in Brazil April 29-May 5. In three matches at 43-kg, Dykstra was beat out by Dailyn Velasquez of Venezuela (2-5), Diane Farias of Brazil (1-10) and Hailey Cox of the Unites States (0-6). She didn’t place, and she’s used to placing. (Dykstra won a silver medal at nationals last month, a provincial gold in March, and won bronze at the 2013 Canada Summer Games as
a member of Team BC.)

and no one really knew each other until the end of the trip. We know each other a lot better now.” On their last day in Recife the women’s team went to the beach. Dykstra, 16, also visited a “really cool market” and “we went down exploring the streets.” The best thing about the trip “was meeting the new people,” she says. “It was cool to have a big team again. Last summer I had one. It was Team BC. This was a step up. It felt neat and special.” A number of training camps and tournaments are set for this summer, but the local wrestler, and Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School student, hasn’t made any plans yet on what she’s doing next. The school held a fundraiser before she left for Brazil. “I want to say thanks to my school for all the support.”

She left it all on the ice in Salmon Arm. It paid off, and she got the call. Now, Cassidy Mellott is skating for a spot on British Columbia’s 2015 U18 roster, so she’ll have to leave it all out there again. And maybe pot a couple more goals while she’s at it.

camp in Lake Cowichan on May 16-19. This follows an appearance in the 2014 Female U18 BC Cup with the province’s top 80 players in Salmon Arm from April 23-27. Mellott played on Team Thunder, the runner-ups. She snipped two goals in four games. “It was exhausting,” she says. “It was a lot of hockey. It was so much fun.” The BC Cup featured four teams. The first two days of the event consisted of practices, team building and fit-
ness testing. Players were then evaluated on their performance during games. Following the BC Cup, Mellott received a letter from Team BC coach Rebecca Russell inviting her to the upcoming tryouts. Mellott is doing fitness training with local boxing coach Kelly Ricketts until then, and she’s looking for ice time too. Should she make the squad, Mellott will be part of Team BC, which will participate at the 2015 Canada Winter

Boys and girls rugby teams from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School travelled to Williams Lake for exhibition games recently, and have rematches scheduled in 100 Mile House for May 15. Werner Schoeman and teacher Ken Heales are coaching the teams. Schoeman says the games in Williams Lake were good experience for a lot of the players, nearly half of them playing for the first time. “There were a couple big hits being made, and also a couple big hits that were taken,” Schoeman says of the junior boys game. “The kids actually pulled through pretty good. I’m quite happy with that.” The girls fielded a

adds. For Schoeman, a South African doctor who’s practicing locally, it’s his first year coaching in 100 Mile House. “I’m enjoying it. The kids are quite motivated. It’s a bit different

It’s something they’ve been preparing for since the fall. Three girls from the South Cariboo Rhythmic Gymnastics Club are on their way to the 15th Annual Millennium Cup International Invitational in Vancouver on May 16-18. The event, hosted by the Adagio International Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy, features some of Canada’s top national team members and many upcoming talents from all competition levels. Sarah Robinson, 10, Candice-Rose Mapson, 10, and Jill McArthur, 10, will be showing off different routines. The girls spoke about the competition and gymnastics at a recent practice in 100 Mile House. Mapson has been doing the sport for close to five years. “It’s really fun,” she

says. “I love the outfits.” “I’ll have family watching me in [in Vancouver],” she adds. “It will make me less nervous.” McArthur joined gymnastics three years ago when she moved
to town and was trying out different sports. “I like the different competitions and how we’re able to show off our flexibility.” Robinson, who’s been in gymnastics since she was five years old, says
simply: “I love competing.” The Millennium Cup, which will see gymnasts compete from all around the world, is known as a “friendly and rewarding” experience. Local coach Sang-Hee Robinson says there’s a “positive” environment at the competition. “It’s not about being first, it’s about how you compete, your passions,” she explains. “They have very well mastered their skills and they’re ready to shine for the last time before we rap up for the year.” The South Cariboo Rhythmic Gymnastics Club is hosting a yearend gala at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on May 23. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. “We’ve received a lot of help from parents and the community,” the coach says. “We’re wrapping things up in a fun way and to show all the parents what the kids learned. And watch them having fun.”

Students set sights on Costa Rica 100MONUMENTS Mile Funeral Service Ltd. Meat sales underway for volunteering trip funding Granite and Bronze Cemetery Markers
Carole Rooney Free Press
A group of Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) students from grades 8-12 will travel to Costa Rica next year, and are currently fundraising to cover their costs. PSO counsellor Crystal Dawn Langton notes it is a volunteering trip, so will involve helping with things, such as a community cleanup project, building or repairing a school or church, assisting at an orphanage or tutoring children in the English language. “A couple of days are doing fun things, going on jungle tours and what not, but we are
there to work in the communities as they need us.” Langton says the nine-day trip will take place in July 2015, and she welcomes more parents, next year’s PSO students, and other community members to travel along and volunteer with the group. The next fundraising activity for the students is selling meat in assorted frozen packages from Chilliwack’s Fraser Valley Meats until May 19. “They go out and they basically just pre-order meat for people. They don’t do a lot of community canvassing. They mostly go to their parents’ work, and we ask people around town.” Packages offer steaks, chick-
en breasts, sausage, bacon and ground beef, which are chosen from a list., Langton adds. “It is all B.C. product, which is nice.” Noting meat brings in much more money than selling chocolate bars, she explains all children and adults are personally responsible for raising their own money to cover the $3,300 in individual travel costs for the Costa Rica trip. “It’s great, one of our girls made $200 on it last time. Whatever the kids raise, they keep [for the trip].” Recent activities to drum up money included helping out at a recent Shriners’ dinner – students made $600 – as well as holding random in-school bake sales.
A Family Fun Night is also being held on June 13 (tentatively 5:30-8:30 p.m.) with proceeds to be split with the Free the Children fund. She says the public is encouraged to come out to PSO to have a great family-orientated time and support the students in a worthy cause. Other fundraising will take place all year, such as selling Purdy’s Chocolates and poinsettia plants closer to Christmas, she notes. For more information on the meat packages and pricing (order by May 19), or about joining the Costa Rica trip, contact Langton by e-mail at crystaldawn.langton@sd27. bc.ca or call her at PSO at 250395-2461 ext. 235.
Big Bike coming to 100 Mile
Support the Heart and Stroke Foundation by getting a 29-member team together The Heart and Stroke Foundation is looking for Big Bike teams to ride 29-person bike in support of life-saving research. The Kamloops/ Cariboo office of the Heart and Stroke Foundation is recruiting teams to participate
in 100 Mile House annual Big Bike event, which is taking place at the Save-OnFoods parking lot June 9. Local organizations are invited to help “Take a seat to extend a life” by getting a team of 29 folks together to ride
a two-kilometre route in their community on Canada’s only 30-seat bike. “This fun, teambuilding event is a great opportunity to increase employee morale and your organization’s visibility in the community and all for a good
Residents get new totes today (May 14)

Garbage collection will continue to be provided weekly. Curbside recycling collection will take place every 2nd week, Richmond says. “You will receive more detailed information on what can go in the recycling totes and pickup schedules when your totes are delivered.” The CRD board chair says this new recycling service has been made possible by partnering with Multi Material British Columbia (MMBC), the stewardship agency responsible for residential packaging and printed paper in B.C. As a result, glass, Styrofoam, and plastic bags (types 2 and
4 only) will not be accepted in the curbside program, but they will be accepted at Gold Trail Recycling in 100 Mile House, starting May 19. Richmond notes glass is currently accepted at Gold Trail under a CRD subsidized program. For more information, he suggests folks visit the MMBC website and follow the link for details of the material to be collected at curbside at http://recyclinginbc. c a / pro g r a m / m m b c materials-list/. If people have any questions regarding the program at the 108 Mile Ranch, they can e-mail the CRD at talktrash@cariboord.bc.ca, or call the CRD office at 1-800-665-1636 and ask for the environmental
services department. “You can email me at arichmond@cariboord. bc.ca, or call me at 250791-5477. As with any new program, we would ask for your patience while we work our way through implementing this new service.”
cause” says Lisa Verity, Kamloops/Cariboo office of the Heart and Stroke Foundation area co-ordinator. Every seven minutes a Canadian dies from heart disease or stroke, and in British Columbia, someone dies from heart disease or stroke every hour, says Verity. “Events like Big Bike allow the foundation to continue
funding world-class heart disease and stroke research, advocacy, and health promotion that is improving the lives of all Canadians. We’re helping give Canadians longer, fuller, healthier lives.” Register today to put your organization in the spotlight and to help continue the tradition.

All about Soil Creating healthy and productive soil is probably the most important thing you do for your garden. Whether you grow vegetables, flowers or trees-good soil is essential to the health of your plants. Here in the Cariboo we usually have more clay and rock than soil and so our particular struggle is a tough one. Here at the nursery we grow nearly everything in raised beds, and raised beds are what we usually recommend. The steps to creating great, healthy soil are nearly the same, though, no matter which type of gardening you do. If you are tilling your earth and then going to add to existing soil: first remove as much grass and root as possible. Grass is persistent and will come back quickly, so removing as much as possible in the beginning will cut down on weeding later. Once tilled, you could add topsoil and perlite along with compost and manure or just the latter two, depending on the quality of your existing soil. If building raised beds, begin with good quality topsoil and combine it with a lightening agent of some kind (i.e. Sunshine Mix or perlite) Adding compost and manure, or just one or the other will, enrich and feed your soil and in turn your plants. The amount needed varies on the size of your garden. Adding other components, especially to the organic garden, such as Glacial Rock Dust, Greensand and/or Rock Phosphate can only help to create amazing and fruitful soil. It is a costly process, but one that is worth every penny and back breaking moment, especially if growing your own veggies and fruit because it will give back to you more than you put in! But, you still need Fertilizer The most important thing to remember is that fertilizer is FOOD, not medicine. Do not wait until your plants are sickly or
worse before feeding them. Also, manure is not sufficient fertilizer. Whether you use standard fertilizer or organic, be sure to follow the directions carefully to avoid burning or not using enough. Following is a quick description of the main ingredients in fertilizer, keeping in mind that some have many more components and that the numbers of each vary depending on what they are designed for. We typically recommend a fertilizer with calcium when growing veggies, sulphur for potatoes and always recommend that your fertilizer contains ‘micro nutrients’. In simple terms, nitrogen promotes plant growth. It is associated with leafy, vegetative growth. It’s part of every protein in the plant, so it's required for virtually every process, from growing new leaves to defending against pests. Nitrogen is part of the chlorophyll molecule, which gives plants their green color and is involved in creating food for the plant through photosynthesis. Lack of nitrogen shows up as general yellowing (chlorosis) of the plant. Because nitrogen can move around in the plant, older growth often yellows more than the new growth. Phosphorus is involved in metabolic processes responsible for transferring energy from one point to another in the plant. It's also critical in root development and flowering. Because phosphorus moves slowly through the soil, it's important to work it into the soil, where it's needed by the roots. Potassium helps regulate plant metabolism and affects water pressure regulation inside and outside of plant cells. It is important for good root development. For these reasons, potassium is critical to plant stress tolerance. Choosing Your Seeds and Plants: When choosing seeds consider where the seeds come from and whether or not they are genetically modified, if they are

We believe in working with seed companies that provide clean and naturally sourced seed. Much ado is being made these days about GMO and/or GEO seed and heirloom seeds. GMO and GEO stand for genetically modified or genetically engineered. We do not purchase, sell or grow these types of seeds or plants, so rest assured that anything you buy from us is neither. Heirloom seed is simply seed that has SERVING THE INTERLAKES AREA been around a long time. It comes from plants that have been grown for at least 50 years, though some say 100 years is the cut off, and will in theory produce the same plant that was grown by our great, great grandparents.

The District of 100 Mile House is now accepting applications for its Business Facade Improvement Program, funded by Northern Development Initiative Trust. Up to $20,000 is available to cost share 50/50 with area businesses, to a total of $5,000 funding per building, upon approved application to the District. The program is intended to encourage investment in improving the aesthetics of storefronts in the municipality. Mayor Mitch Campsall says the timeliness of the program could not be better. “Spring is a great time to think about sprucing
up our downtown storefronts – just in time for our tourist season. “Improving our commercial facades will enhance our downtown core for walking and shopping, help to attract and retain commercial tenants, stimulate local construction and the overall economy, and showcase our civic pride.” Applicants are advised to check eligibility requirements with the District at 250-395-2434 before applying. The application packages are online at www.100milehouse. com, under News & Events. All applications submitted must include project designs and cost estimates.

Canim Lake’s Elizabeth Haretzmuller wowed crowd at Showcase Performance CANIM LAKE
Peter Hart 250 397-2645
harts@netbistro.com
Dear Canimites, The hillsides are greening up as buds burst forth on the birches and aspen, drawing in the many birds that
feast on insects. At Hawkins Lake, Wayne Traill spotted 51 species in one day.
Talented pianist Elizabeth Haretzmuller, daughter of Rob and Michelle, delighted audiences at the recent Festival of the Arts with her piano. She won gold certificates from her adjudicator, the JS Bach Jr. award, the 20th Century Jr. piano award, and got her name on
the Helen Ames Trophy. Quite a feat for a Canim Lake musician who is just turning 11. Elizabeth has been playing for three years and is coached by Michelle’s sister, Jenny Dahl.
Gigantic sale Coming May 28 to the Canim Lake Store is the gigantic blow-out planter sale arranged by the community club. Twenty-five hanging baskets and pots have
been prepared. There will also be a selection of perennials from the area. Yvette Stark and Margo Wagner have purchased the four succulent roasts that Leona Hurrell and Elizabeth Sarkozy will cook to perfection for beef-ona-bun lovers. Master baker Granny Grace Buse is baking fresh buns for the treat. There will be a banquet of tasty baked goods from the loving hands of the good women of Canim and Hawkins lakes, with a stress on pies. Local crafters and
artists have been invited to set up tables.
Grass fire Firefighters had their hands full April 30, as a resident lit a small pile of brush in the late morning. Adjacent dry grass immediately flared up and the fire headed for his buildings. Hall #2 was first on scene and managed to stop the blaze just short of the first structure. Shifting winds then drove the fire off in different directions, forcing incident com-
100 Mile House & Area
mander Capt. Ken Kerr to deploy teams to protect the neighbour’s buildings. In all, about 30 acres of grassland were burnt, but no buildings were lost. Kudos go to the combined forces of Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department Halls #1 and #2, 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue, and the Forests ministry. Twenty-six responders were involved with six engines and tenders for most of the day. That’s all for now. Until next time, here’s wishing you many blessings.

Wine, cheese, ‘huge’ vendor turnout at Women’s Fair
Gaven Crites Free Press
A belly dancer stepped off the stage and shook and swayed past tables where a couple dozen ladies sat eating cheese, drinking wine and applauding. The Cariboo Women’s Fair was just getting started. The inaugural event, organized by Canlan Ice Sports at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on May 9-10, featured close to 50 vendors advertising a variety of goods and services, all with women’s interests in mind. Gardening, hair care, jewelry, nutrition, photography, clothes, belly dancing classes, beauty products and Tai Chi were just some of the things visitors could explore at the local arena.

Members of the Baladi Babes and Mystique dance troupes – Anna Lindhout, left, Shannon Robinson, Elyse Letourneau, Joan Williams and Kerri Mingo – performed on stage at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre in 100 Mile House during the Cariboo Women’s Fair on May 9.
Some of the entertainment included a psychic, Zumba and performances by 2014 Cariboo Idols. Organizer Kimberly Vance-Lundsbye says the Women’s Fair replaced the 100 Mile
House Mega Show this year, and was about “giving the community something different.” She adds vendor turnout was a “huge” success. “A third of the vendors are new people
– they’ve never been a vendor at one of our events before. There are a lot of natural products and homemade products, which reflects what people want in the Cariboo. “We wanted a lot of
entertainment to go with the show. So it’s a jam-packed schedule.” Billy Feistmantl was one of the vendors, showcasing organic skin care products she makes herself. “I’m very impressed
with it,” she says of the fair. “I love it. It’s very well organized. I think this is the way to go.” Tammie Black, a 100 Mile House resident, browsed the arena with a friend. It took the pair

Schuurman says she discovered homeopathic medicines and jewelry lines she didn’t think she would find in the South Cariboo.

Time to celebrate western heritage Western Week, Little Britches and BCRA rodeos on May long weekend
File photo
The Little Britches Parade and Western Heritage Week are back on the May long weekend. These little cowboys, who were at last year’s BCRA Rodeo, dream about competing with the big boys one day.
Western Week is coming, and the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce encourages businesses and organizations to get into the spirit by dressing and decorating western all week, starting on May 12. Little Britches Parade will be held downtown on May 17, starting 10 a.m. Registration for the parade is currently underway and forms can be picked up at A&B Photo and 100 Mile Feed and Ranch. Organizers hope
to see families lining the streets because there will be car clubs, local dignitaries, 4H and First Nations bands. Remember to take in the Little Britches Rodeo at the 100 Mile Outriders rodeo grounds behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Airport Road on May 17, starting at 9 a.m. Folks who need more information can call

Students enjoyed day at Mt. Timothy Homeschool report
Candace-Rose Mapson
Many homeschoolers, ranging from preschoolers to teenagers, met for a fun-filled day downhill skiing high up on Mount Timothy Ski Area. The event was organized by teacher Martin Kruus. Questioned on why he planned it, he answered, “Because I feel it is a valuable experience to have kids try new things, especially if they are challenging and educational.” He also slightly prefers snowboarding to skiing because, in his opinion, it is more challenging and exhilarating, but
Leguerrier Construction Ltd.
snowboarding is more annoying on lifts and on flats. One of the parents, Margret Ann Enders, said her favourite thing about skiing is being outside. But two of the many students, Amelia Burril and Quiona Roberts, said their favourite part is that you get to go fast downhill. There are lots of opportunities when you home school, such as when you ski, it counts as physical education. It is also a fun and memorable experience that you would not have otherwise. Kruus also explained there is more than just one benefit that comes from skiing, such as, when you are going up the mountain on the chairlift, you can examine the tree differences as you get higher and higher, and you can study the different types of lifts, how they run mechanically (simple
machines), etc. A junior high student, Daven Mapson, was looking forward to using the chairlift, but as it was broken that day, he found himself using the T-Bar. It was his first time using it, and when asked how he felt about it, he replied, “It was certainly more interesting than using the chairlift, but also more tiring.” There will be many more events in the future, and until then, all the homeschoolers will be waiting in excitement. Candice-Rose Mapson, 10, is the Home school youth columnist.

Police pursue community engagement Crime reduction reinforced by connecting with citizens

T
he new commanding officer at the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment hit the ground running last fall. Staff Sgt. Blake Ward joined the local police force earlier this year, and says he has been busy getting a feel for the community. “I just really dug into things here, and got into where the community sees the issues, and what’s been going on within the detachment.” The local commander adds he was pleased to find a good environment at the local detachment office. “As an outsider getting into the detachment, I see right off the bat that they are being well trained, and that there is a very good morale within the detachment – and that includes all of the office staff, not just the members.” Ward explains he also noticed some areas for improvement, and then confirmed those in conversations with District of 100 Mile House mayor and council and the Cariboo Regional District area directors.

Staff Sgt. Blake Ward recently joined the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment as its new commanding officer. His number 1 goal for the upcoming year is to further engage RCMP members with the community.
“The members here have been through a lot last year. We were very short staffed here, to the point that members were not getting their leave – their time off. “When I look at that, I think the members did a very good job

Newcomers or ESL folks offered free help By Anita Price Many community members are familiar with the ESL (English as a Second Language) Café program. With new funding made available through Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the program has been expanded and continues to be offered at no cost to participants. The main components of the program, the regular and advanced ESL Cafés, are ongoing with meetings that are held on Tuesdays. These café style meetings are a great way to develop English speaking skills, as well as make new friends and learn about our community. The weekly meetings begin at 10:30 a.m. with meeting content varying between language development exercises, guest speakers and field trips. All meetings include time to visit, ask questions and enjoy a cup of coffee with other participants. Additional learning opportunities are provided through the volunteer one-to-one tutoring program. Tutors are trained and then matched with newcomers to our community who want to improve their English language skills. Most often, tutors and learners meet for one hour, once a week and develop speaking, reading and writing skills as directed by the needs of the learners. New components of the program include book club meetings, discussion groups and
movie nights. Previously, meetings were held in various locations around 100 Mile House; however, the majority of meetings are now held in the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy (CCPL) meeting room located at 475 Birch Ave. The entrance is in the rear of the building at the north end. The glass
door is clearly marked with the CCPL logo and a current meeting schedule. Any residents or visitors to the area who have English as a second language and would like to improve their skills or learn more about our community are welcome to stop in at the CCPL meeting room on Wednesdays between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
to speak with a staff member. For information on any program or on how to become a tutor, please check out the CCPL website at www. caribooliteracy.com or phoning Anita at 250706-7763. Anita Price is the 100 Mile House ESL co-ordinator for the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy.

Clinton volunteers recognized
Successful 150/50 Anniversary Committee renamed Spirit of Clinton Committee By Zee Chevalier The Volunteer Appreciation Night at Clinton Memorial Hall on May 3 was wellattended in spite of several events happening on the weekend. The original intent of the event was to recognize the participation and hard work of those who had contributed to Clinton’s very successful 150/50 Anniversary celebrations in 2013, but it was expanded to recognize all volunteers regardless of whether they had participated in the events of 2013. The Village of Clinton has traditionally had an annual volunteer recognition event. Village chief administrative officer Tom Dall
prepared a slide show on the big screen with photos of the 60-plus events held in 2013. Mayor Jim Rivett opened the evening by paying tribute to the many volunteers in Clinton in approximately 40 organizations and thanking them for their valuable contributions throughout the year. He then called on Councillor Diane Guerin who explained the 150/50 Anniversary Committee had been renamed Spirit of Clinton Committee and hoped to capitalize on the momentum created by the success of the 2013 events with events in 2014 to enhance Clinton’s tourism appeal. Refreshments were served by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #194-Clinton Ladies Auxiliary, and throughout the evening, Guerin drew numbers for door prizes. Zee Chevalier is a longtime Clinton volunteer.

Volunteers needed for charity event to benefit cancer research
From B10
“Two years ago was a real struggle to get this town back on board with the relay. Last year, we [turned it around] and we’re hoping to do it again this year and bring everybody back out, and make it the big event it used to be.” Fryer says they’re looking for volunteers and people can visit the Canadian Cancer
Society website and search the 2014 100 Mile House Relay for Life page to learn more or register a team. A number of teams have already registered, but organizers would like to see more in advance to get an idea of how many will be down at the park. However, people can still register the morning of the relay, Fryer adds. The relay runs from 10
a.m. to 10 p.m. on June 7. “It doesn’t matter what they’re doing, we just want them out there and showing support for their team. We want more community involvement to show their support for a cause everybody deals with one way or another.” Fryer says she wants to make cancer “a thing of the past.”
“I’m putting my voice to this organization and hoping, down the road, we will cure it. It touches everybody.” In 2013, 161,746 Canadians participated in 487 Relay For Life events across the country, raising $46.5 million. To learn more about Relay for Life or to volunteer, call Fryer at 250-706-8082.

ARSON BY FRYING PAN
It is probably true to say that, as patients, we are grateful when our doctors send us to specialists. We know that no doctor knows everything there is to know about medical problems. Strangely enough, many clients expect their lawyers to know all of the law. The truth is, of course, that no lawyer knows all of the law. Imagine that you are staying with a friend for a few days. You have a little too much to drink. You decide to sleep it off and when you wake up - still quite intoxicated, your friend is gone. You decide to cook some breakfast. You put the frying pan on the stove. You put some oil in the frying pan - and then, you decide to go to the nearest Tim Hortons - but you forget to turn off the frying pan. Upon returning from the restaurant 20 minutes later, you are horrified to find that your friend’s house is in flames. You understand that your friend will be upset and you fervently pray that she has fire insurance. Many lawyers would be astonished to learn that embarrassment and expense are not the only possible outcomes of the above scenario. Paul Tatton knows, however, that the above scenario can result in a charge of arson - because those events are part of his life and he was charged with arson. [R. v. Tatton, 2014 ONCA 273; 2014 OJ No. 1683.] At this stage, Mr. Tatton has been acquitted both at trial and in the Ontario Court of Appeal. It should be noted, however, that only two of the three appeal court judges felt that the trial court acquittal should be upheld. Lawyers who have commented on the case expect that it will be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada and some expect that the acquittal will be overturned. In considering the Tatton case, it may be worth noting that arson occurs when a person “intentionally or recklessly causes damage by fire” to the property of another person. Thus, the mere fact that Mr. Tatton may not have intended to cause the fire would not necessarily save him from conviction. Article written by Centennial Law Corp.

What exterior items should I clean in the spring? Just like any spring cleaning list, it is easiest to approach a wide range of chores by dividing them into manageable areas. For the House Cleaning the actual structure of your house is easy and will instantly improve its appearance. Windows: Washing windows and screens will give you a sparkling view of spring even if it’s still a bit too cold to be outside enjoying it as much as you want. Gutters: Cleaning out rain gutters is a fall chore for many homeowners, but checking them again in the spring will ensure that no debris has become clogged in them during winter storms. Siding: Pressure wash the siding of your home to remove grime. Be sure to start at the highest points of your home to avoid washing dirt down onto clean areas. Garage: Cleaning out the garage will give you more space for summer equipment such as bikes, outdoor games, and gardening equipment. This may be a good time to hold a yard sale as well.

PIC of the week Drives-U-Crazy
People who stop where they bump
A fleet of Nissan LEAFs took to the streets of a quiet village in the Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur region to mark the International Noise Awareness Day last week. The cars were filmed racing silently around the small French town while residents were video-monitored sleeping through the stunt. The World Health Organization (WHO) states at least 13.5 percent of Europeans are exposed to road traffic noise at levels exceeding 55 dB, which is considered detrimental to health. Search Nissan LEAF 100% Electric - Silent Ride on YouTube to view the video. If you have a motoring mishap, the cars are driveable and nobody is injured then get off the road to exchange insurance details. Why do people just stop where they bump and get out of their cars in the middle of the road and risk life and limb among busy traffic? – The police aren’t coming to investigate but they may ticket you for causing an obstruction. What drives-u-crazy?
