SMOOCHING THE PUPPY

Ken Alexander Free Press

The National Parole Board (NPB) has granted James Ruscitti, 33, unescorted temporary absence from prison, where he is serving a life sentence for murdering four people in Buffalo Creek on June 22, 1996.

The NPB noted it had granted Ruscitti’s request to go to a residential substance abuse facility on Vancouver Island for 60 days.

In a written release on Aug. 20, the NPB members noted that, although Ruscitti was a moderate to high risk to re-offend in a violent manner, they said he has made progress in his rehabilitation.

The NPB release stated Ruscitti had said he felt remorse for what he did and apologized to the victims for what he did and told them he felt regret for his crimes. The NPB said they believed these statements were genuine.

The statement also noted the unescorted absence is just the beginning first step in a gradual reintegration into society.

James Ruscitti was two months old when he was adopted by his dad, Rocco, and his mom, Marilyn. He was raised along with the Ruscittis’ other children – Teresa, Vito and Ruth.

Sam, 3, and two-year-old Anna Melin of 100 Mile House enjoyed the time they spent with the Lac la Hache Volunteer Fire Department’s mascot at the South Cariboo Garlic Festival. The large stuffed Dalmatian garnered a lot of attention and firefighters handed out 100 bright red hats at the annual festival in Lac la Hache, Aug. 23-24.

CFEC: early learning centre Parents and families in several South Cariboo communities will soon be able to connect to early learning, health and family services in one convenient location.

The Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) in 100 Mile House is one of 12 community organizations throughout the province that have been selected to host new BC Early Years Centres that will help support families with children up to the age of six.

Each centre will offer a variety of programs, services and supports tailored to the needs of their community.

These may include:

• Parent drop-in programs, such as Parent-Child Mother Goose; • StrongStart BC programs; • Public-health clinics; • Advice and referrals from early-years professionals; • Parent education workshops; • Licensed child care for families; • Child-care resources and referral information; and • A mobile bus to provide outreach to families in rural communities, as was the case with the other sites, the CFEC was chosen by a crossministry selection panel that included representatives from the ministries of Children and

Family Development, Education and Health, and are located in a diverse mix of urban, rural and Aboriginal communities.

Each centre will receive $52,000 from the Provincial Office for the Early Years for this fiscal year as part of a $5.5-million investment over three years.

This is great news for the CFEC, as it already has most of the above-mentioned programs in place, so the extra funding will allow the management and staff to not only upgrade their programs, but also provide more services for families with children in the zero to six age group.

The mobile bus option will be a dream come true for the CFEC personnel because reaching out to rural areas has always been on the radar.

With some families coming in to the centre from the rural areas over the years, the CFEC staff has realized there are a lot of people who don’t have the option of coming to 100 Mile House to take advantage of programs for their children and their families.

Having the option to travel to the outer reaches of the South Cariboo will allow staff to provide services, information and other support.

Departments obtain sprinkler unit Ready to deploy to help protect homes from wildfires

FAST bytes FOOD NEEDED

Carole Rooney Free Press

With the food bank closed for summer, except for emergency call-outs, there is an increasing need for food.

Folks with extra produce in their garden are asked to drop off what they don’t need, and non-perishables and cash donations are also appreciated.

For details, call Loaves and Fishes Outreach at 250395-2708; 100 Mile & District Women’s Centre at 250-3954093; Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre at 250-395-5155; or AgriCulture Enterprise Centre at 778-4822216.

S

outh Cariboo fire departments now have a fully equipped structural protection unit ready for service to help protect local homes.

The unit’s enclosed trailer contains enough rooftop sprinklers to install on about 20 homes should an emergency wildfire situation occur.

108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department (108RVFD) chief Marcelle Ried says multiple local departments chipped in funds to build it and cover training costs.

“There were a few guys who went to a special course [on how] to deploy the trailer, and then we can train the rest of our members in the fall on how to use the equipment.”

In addition to the funding for various parts, including sprinklers, garden hoses, pipes and valves, 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue donated a pump and fire hoses, 108RVFD donated a generator and fire hoses, and Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department donated a bladder to transport water, Ried explains.

“I think it was probably $1,500 per department donated cash-wise from their budgets.”

The structural protection unit identification is clearly printed on the trailer, as well as the logos of all the various fire departments

108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department chief Marcelle Ried recently unveiled a new structural protection unit ready to deploy by any South Cariboo fire department. It is fully equipped with enough rooftop sprinkler kits to help protect up to 20 local homes if they have encroaching wildfires.

that contributed.

Ried notes the trailer is parked at the 108VFD, which has the best available space for it.

Any time there is a need for it, volunteer fire departments will contact him and he can then send the trailer out pretty quickly, he adds.

“If we are called with an interface fire – so one that is infringing on structures – we would deploy the trailer and a crew with it.”

Ried explains the unit’s accompanying crew can be

from any local fire department, each of which already has several members trained for deployment.

While it depends on the structure size, an average home would require about 10 sprinklers to protect it, including covering a perimeter beyond the rooftop, he says.

However, it is important homeowners and businesses take their own fire safety precautions, Ried adds, because the sprinkler unit won’t make a structure invincible to fire, and a

larger-scale wildfire could leave them unprotected.

“People like piling their firewood right up against their house – and that is dry wood – but, it’s common sense to try to keep all that stuff away from the home.”

Keeping the property around buildings clean is a key step toward a more fire-safe condition, such as ensuring gutters and roofs are clear of pine needles and leaves and situating woodpiles, woodsheds, trees and shrubs well away from the

house, he explains.

“If you have got nice, lush, green grass around your home, chances are you are a bit more protected. But if you’ve got the dry cedar shavings, or you’ve got lots of pine needles, you might not be so lucky.”

Setting B.C. children up for success From A1

This will provide an opportunity to meet with families with young children and give them some great programs and information, as well as referrals to help with early years development.

This is the first step, as part of the B.C. Early Years Strategy, to implement a network of Early Years Centres throughout the province that will provide families with one-stop, convenient access to a range of services and supports, information and referrals.

The Early Years Strategy is an eight-year government commitment to improve the accessibility, afford-

ability and quality of early-years programs and services for families with young children.

“We know that what we do from birth up to school-age is absolutely critical to a child’s development,” says Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux.

“This is another step toward making life easier for families and setting children up for lifelong success.”

FAST bytes • The provincial government committed $76 million to support the first three years of the Early Years Strategy, including $32 million to help create up to 2,000 new

licensed child-care spaces.

• The foundation of the strategy is a new Provincial Office for the Early Years that will ensure services across government, and across B.C., are coordinated and effective.

• To help with the costs of raising a young child, government is introducing the B.C. Early Childhood Tax Benefit starting in 2015. The benefit will provide $146 million annually to approximately 180,000 families with children under the age of six (up to $660 a year per child).

• The Ministry of Children and Family Development also provides child-care subsidies to help lowincome families afford child care

– helping approximately 45,000 children each year.

• The Early Years Strategy builds on the $1 billion per year government spends on early learning and childhood development initiatives, services and supports, including: Success by 6; Children First and Aboriginal early childhood development programs; full-day kindergarten; programs that support healthy pregnancy, birth and infancy; early childhood development care and learning program investments, including public health nursing, Ready, Set, Learn programs and StrongStart BC early learning programs.

Taseko: dam review a move to prove safety

Government orders third-party check of tailings ponds Carole Rooney Free Press

The B.C. Liberal government recently ordered independent third-party reviews of all 2014 dam safety inspections for every tailings pond at a permitted mine in British Columbia.

All information obtained under this order will be provided to First Nations and then made public.

Taseko president and chief executive officer Russ Hallbauer says this review will be helpful in clearing the air for these mine operations.

“We welcome that review; we think that it’s important to bring confidence back to dam safety for the general public.

“I think, as the review follows, through we’ll find that the dam safety in the province is of the highest standard.

Certainly we believe that [is so] at Gibraltar.”

With his background as a mining engineer during the formative years of his career, Hallbauer adds he knows firsthand that dam safety has been a “very important part” of anything Taseko does at Gibraltar.

He agrees that public opinion toward Taseko’s proposed New Prosperity Mine project, and other new mine projects, has likely experienced a negative shift in the wake of the Mount Polley tailings pond breach.

“Certainly, it’s a terrible thing that has happened, and it has [affected] public perception and confidence on the mining process and the dam failure.

“Having said that, for years and years and years we have maintained, as an industry,

that these facilities that store ground up sand and water are not toxic.

“That has been clearly evidenced by what’s gone on, with respect to the water sampling and the early results of the investigation by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Mines in terms of ongoing issues.

I think that’s pretty evident to people.”

Initial water tests taken three days after the breach already showed drinking water standards have been met, Hallbauer notes.

“That says a lot, and it should convince people that these things are not the ‘bogey man’ that people think they are, if managed and con-

trolled properly.”

Hallbauer explains the whole issue with tailing pond safety comes down to proper management of the water balance and discharge.

There is more work to be done on this issue, particularly at the government level, he adds.

The Taseko CEO notes all water, including snow and rain, is currently classified as “mine effluent” – so if Gibraltar (or Mount Polley) gets five feet of snow runoff into the tailings pond, it must contain it.

“This water has to be discharged somewhere, and primarily, it has not been allowed to be discharged, for whatever

reason the government sees fit....”

That will likely be spelled out in the risk evaluations to take place in the upcoming months, he says.

“The water has got to get off these mountains.

And, that’s what it is, it’s water ... and needs to be discharged into the environment.”

That said, Hallbauer adds he does not in any way make light of the seriousness of the Mount Polley breach near Likely.

“A lot of these dams are designed differently.

Our New Prosperity dam is not designed the same way as the Mount Polley dam, and so is the Gibraltar dam. It’s quite a bit different.”

Parent pans ministry’s education website

Carole Rooney Free Press

The Ministry of Education has launched a new website to prepare parents in the event the teacher strike lingers after Labour Day. The website at www.bcparentinfo.ca states a variety of resources are available at no cost through Open School BC and LearnNowBC, so parents can help keep their children engaged in learning.

It also offers the updates on the labour dispute, and if it continues into the fall, a portal where parents may register to receive the promised $40 a day for each child under 13.

Local parent Lori Dodds says she thinks government is offering this money as an olive branch to keep some parents happy.

She adds it won’t be paid out until up to 30 days after the month the teacher’s strike ends – and only for “eligible” children.

“That doesn’t really help most people with children in day care because most day-care centres collect funds every two weeks or once a month.”

She has a son attending 100 Mile House Elementary School, where she is a longtime member on its Parent Advisory Council.

Dobbs says she has not decided if she will apply for the day care money.

“It outlines this is to help with learning and supervision of children under 13.”

Dodds says she believes this actually means day-care supervision, but she thinks there should be more concern for structured learning that also applies for older students, such as her other son who attends Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School.

“I don’t feel they are really concerned about the learning part, as much as they are keeping the kids safe and in day care, which kind of disappoints me because I have a child going into

Grade 12. So, if I could get this money, I could give him extra support in areas that he might need it.”

Dodds explains she phoned Service BC and outlined her concerns, and asked “what about my child’s education, above age 13?” They advised her to call 1-877-387-3332, a tax credit line, she adds.

When that number is called, its automatic phone system states it is an income tax credit information line, she notes.

Dodds says she also phoned the Ministry of Education, which transferred her to a representative in Deputy Minister of Education Rob Wood’s office who indicated she has received a large number of similar calls.

“They have passed on the information – that above [13-year-olds] need to learn also.”

However, the local parent encourages oth-

ers to express their opinions to the ministry, the school district, its trustees, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the local MLA. “I assume once you get hit up by a whole bunch of people, you end up getting the message and passing it on.”

She adds that, in her opinion, the education resources offered on the website offer limited support and learning options.

“I would prefer to have a teacher any day over those resources.

That’s only teaching my child one way, and not every child learns that way, and not every par-

ent and child has access to computers and the Internet.”

The local library allows only a limited time each day on its online computers, she adds.

“That only benefits certain ways of learning, that’s why I prefer my child to be taught by someone who knows his style of learning.”

The website also offers updated information on the labour dispute, but Dodds doesn’t find that much help, either.

“I figure school’s not going to start in September. I’ll look for a tutor. That’s what I

MCFD and Ministry of Health should create strategies

The provincial government must take decisive steps to address the serious risk that parental addiction poses for many British Columbia children, Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen TurpelLafond said upon the release of her recent investigative report.

Children at Risk: The Case for a Better Response to Parental Addiction tells the story of a 10-year-old boy who suffered serious head and spinal injuries in a motor vehicle incident – illustrating a widespread underlying issue in the province’s child welfare system.

Contrary to a Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) safety plan, the boy was a passenger in a vehicle with his mother and her boyfriend, who had both been drinking that day. “Parental addiction is a serious problem because it can leave vulnerable children in incredibly harmful situations,” Turpel-Lafond said.

“The [MCFD] must take steps to ensure that, in cases such as this boy’s, the best interests of the child are made paramount over everything else and that proper policy and resources are in place in order to mitigate such disastrous effects of parental substance use.”

Making sure the best interests of the child are always the focus is the main recommendation of the report, she said, calling for specialist substance use consultants to be made available in every MCFD service area to assist workers in effective safety planning for children and, where appropriate, to assist in developing engagement strategies and support for family members.

One of the main issues in this boy’s case was the limited capacity of his maternal grandparents to objectively deal with the addictions of his mother and the risks they posed to the child. Even though the ministry’s safety plan prohibited the mother from being allowed to supervise the child on her own, the grandparents were unable to ensure the plan was followed.

As a result, the boy was routinely left in the mother’s care, often neglected, and eventually injured, Turpel-Lafond explained. The report recommends that in cases in which a child is to be placed with relatives, a timely assessment of both the needs of the child and the capacity of those relatives to care for the child is completed. In this case, such an assessment was never done for the grandparents and the ministry was

never able to adequately engage the family in the child’s care and safety.

Despite receiving five child protection reports about the boy over nine years, the MCFD did not take adequate steps to ensure his safety until after he sustained critical injuries. “This boy’s mother had a long history of addiction, including use of cocaine, amphetamines and opiates,” TurpelLafond said.

“Yet only one of the many MCFD workers who dealt with this family over the years had any formal training on how to work with families challenged by addiction.” She recommends the MCFD create a learning tool, based on the findings of this report, to help the ministry better and more consistently serve children, parents and families in which substance use is an issue.

“Although the ministry does not know the percentage of cases in which this is a factor, its own practice guidelines suggest substance abuse by a parent is “a dominant reality in child protection work.”

Turpel-Lafond also recommends that MCFD and the Ministry of Health work together to create a comprehensive addictions strategy and system of care for parents with substance abuse issues.

Locally, Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) executive director Lisa De Paoli said substance misuse has many negative consequences, but none are as severe as the impact on children and youth when their parents and caregivers have alcohol and drug addictions.

Pipeline replacement taking place

Carole Rooney Free Press

Almost a kilometre of three-foot diameter natural gas pipeline is currently being replaced

by Spectra Energy in 108 Mile Ranch at 105 Mile.

Some 900 metres of the pipeline will be replaced in an undeveloped area just north of Watson Lake, west of 105 Mile Lake, southeast of Block Drive and south and west of Kinncum Place.

Work on the project began on Aug. 11 and is expected to continue until sometime in October.

Spectra Energy spokesperson Jenn Thomlinson says the company has communicated with area residents about the project since early summer.

“Keeping the local community informed about nearby work is critical. In addition to meeting with landowners, we held an open house on June 18 at the 108 Mile Ranch Community Hall. This was a chance for local residents to learn more about the project and ask questions.”

About 22 local residents attended that open house, she notes.

They heard that the project will meet Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and

250-395-7494

National Energy Board requirements, which is the reason for the replacement.

Information provided in a brochure handed out by Spectra explains how Canadian standards involve different class designations for pipelines based on the number and types of homes and other buildings nearby. Therefore, as the density of structures increases near the pipeline, class designations may change, Thomlinson explains.

She notes as a result of population/development growth in the area, the section of pipeline in 108 Mile Ranch has moved into a higher category on the class location code.

“The pipeline replacement in 105 Mile is part of Spectra Energy’s ongoing pipeline integrity and maintenance work, and not the result of degradation. This work is a proactive approach to safety as well as to meet class location codes as

Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Program November 2014

set by the CSA.” She adds these codes also require companies to ensure their pipeline meets certain design specifications based on its location and what else is located in the vicinity.

Thomlinson is based in Calgary, but notes Spectra Energy community co-ordinator Sadie Cox is on location with the project in the 108 Mile Ranch, and can be reached at 250-373-7033 or by e-mail at mcox@ spectraenergy.com.

Please remember to save your shoeboxes this summer to fill up for our Fall Shoebox Program. Since 1990 OCC Shoeboxes are sent internationally to countries in conflict and/or poverty.

Please help a child in these desperate situations.

100 Mile and Area Collection centre dates are from November 17 - 23, 2014 Locations for collection will be posted in early October.

In 2013 Canada donated over 664,000 gift filled shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child.

Thank you all for your kind contributions to our international Shoebox Program.

Spin doctor payroll up to $263 million

W

hen we’re spending nearly as much on spin as we are on Parliament, we’re on a very slippery slope indeed.

Recently, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation released the head count and salary costs of the federal government’s legion of information services staff.

The numbers, released in response an access-toinformation request, reveal that 3,325 spin doctors toil for Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government, at an estimated cost this year of $263 million.

Despite the Harper government’s avowed objective to reduce the federal public service by 19,000 positions, the ranks of communications staff have grown by 163 since the Conservatives took office, while costs have risen by $48 million.

The combined payroll of federal spin doctors rivals the $329 million payroll of the House of Commons – the beating heart of our democracy – the institution

GUEST SHOT

t’s highly unlikely the doors of public schools will be flung open on Sept. 2 to welcome students eager to continue their education.

With the scheduled return to school less than a week away and the teachers and government miles apart in terms of offers to end the current strike/lockout, it’s more likely school doors will remain locked.

It looked a little more promising early this month when longtime mediator Vince Ready, who has brokered a lot of deals over the years, entered the fray.

Ready said he would monitor the situation and would mediate if the two sides could get their offers closer together so mediation could be productive. The teachers and government are hundreds of millions of dollars apart on the issues of class size and composition.

He even got the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF), the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA), which is negotiating on behalf of the provincial government, and the B.C. Liberals to agree to a media blackout, so both sides could quit battling in the media, and turn their full attention to hammering out a teachers’ contract.

It was quiet on the negotiation's front about week, but then Education Minister Peter Fassbender told a television audience that the government would like to see the school year start on Sept. 2.

BCTF president Jim Iker immediately jumped on Fassbender’s media tour as a contravention of the media blackout.

Then Iker went on to break the blackout by saying Fassbender was playing politics instead of allowing to resume behind closed doors.

Iker then called on Fassbender to honour the blackout and instruct BCPSEA to begin mediation with Ready’s assistance.

Now, the teachers have returned to the picket lines in the hope it will add pressure to kick-start the mediation.

Some political pundits are indicating the B.C. Liberal government is intent in bankrupting the provincial teachers’ union, which appears to have very little left in the war chest, and forcing the BCTF back into the courts to drain whatever funds it has left.

Parents and students – who are going to suffer if a contract isn’t negotiated and the schools remain closed – have no say in the matter.

Students are unsure if they’re going back to school and working parents are frantically searching for alternative child care.

If schools remain closed after Sept. 2, the province has promised to provide $40 per day to help pay for day care for eligible students 13 years and under – on a refund basis.

The bickering has to stop and meaningful mediation has to begin.

the Unknown Soldier.”

In June, the federal Department of Public Safety responded to an Access to Information request from Toronto Star reporter Alex Boutillier with a heavily censored version of a media backgrounder that is actually posted, in all its uncensored glory, on Harper’s website.

One federal communications department takes its mandate – not to communicate – so seriously, it has a list with a telephone hot line number – reminding public servants who they must call if a member of the media should ever phone and ask a question.

Maybe it’s time for federal employees to declare independence – answer the phone, answer the questions, and save us all a few hundred million in unnecessary spin doctor salaries.

Former teacher sheds light on contract issues To the editor: I am a retired teacher and would like to weigh in on the school situation in British Columbia.

For the last years of my teaching, I was a learning assistant/resource room teacher. I feel it is important for people to be informed about what the real issues are.

Let’s look at this term “class size and composition.” That means how many children you have in your classroom and how many of them have special needs

that take more of your time than the child who is an accomplished learner.

When we initiated full-inclusion of special needs students in our classrooms, teachers were assured they would get lots of help from teacher aids and specialty teachers. But then many of those special needs children didn’t qualify for that extra help.

I spoke to a young teacher from the Lower Mainland who had three autism spectrum and two ADHD/

FAS children in her Grade 3 class.

That doesn’t count the children who were struggling with learning for other reasons.

She also had a student who was a severe diabetic whose blood sugar level often fell to dangerous levels. Only one support worker could administer her medication and she was often required in other classes. If the support worker was away, the school often had difficulty getting her replaced at short notice.

T

in limbo because of the stalling by government negotiators.

Dear parents and others, please support the individuals who are trying to be a positive influence on our children.

It doesn’t just take a community to raise a child, it takes a community that will speak out when their children, our future, is being put at risk.

Liberals failing students

Law makers or law breakers?

To the editor: BC Hydro claims to have the law on their side as they attempt to impose their smart metering program onto our unwary public.

Oh really?

“The Constitution of Canada is the supreme law of Canada, and any law that is inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution is, to the extent of the inconsistency, of no force or effect.”

Why does that matter?

According to the Constitution Act, in each province, the legislature may exclusively make laws in relation to the development, conservation and management of sites and facilities in the province for the generation and production of electrical energy.

Nowhere does it state the province

From my experience working in the field of “special needs,” the description of this classroom is not unusual. Let’s not forget learning is supposed to be going on at the same time. This is what our teachers are dealing with.

Do you wonder why they want “class size and composition” language in their contract?

This is what was stripped from the contract by the government, an action that was questioned and condemned by the courts, and now

has any authority whatsoever to make laws with respect to the distribution of electrical energy.

In other words, the British Columbia provincial government’s attempts to impose smart meters upon anyone via legislation is unlawful and of no force or effect.

BC Hydro is being disingenuous and deceitful whenever they imply otherwise. If you don’t currently have a smart meter and don’t want one, you are totally within your lawful rights to refuse.

Those who continue to refuse a smart meter should be lauded as heroes for continuing to defend our constitutional and unalienable rights.

James G. Smith Nanaimo

To the editor: The B.C. Liberals’ failure to get children back into classrooms is disproportionately hurting families of children with special needs.

Anne Bélanger, a constituent of mine, recently approached my office, upset because her son, like all kids in British Columbia, will likely not be back in school Sept. 2. Her eight-year-old son requires a high level of support in child care and in school.

When school is in session, he has the support of an education assistant. In the summer, he attends full-time day care where the government pays for the extra costs associated with his complex level of support.

However, Bélanger recently

received a letter telling her the Ministry for Children and Family Development will discontinue provisions to care for children with special needs in the event of continued school closures.

She has been informed that she will now be on the hook for $3,200 per month in additional child-care costs if classes are cancelled in September.

Hundreds of families across B.C., just like Anne’s, will now have to suffer because their kids won’t be in school getting the supports they need.

The B.C. Liberal government says it’s back to bargaining with teachers, but with less than two weeks to go before school is supposed to start, we’re now learning the

two parties haven’t recently met face-to-face.

Furthermore, their newlylaunched “B.C. Parent Info” website provides no information for parents of students with special needs.

The B.C. Liberals have spent more time bargaining through the media, putting up roadblocks, launching antagonistic websites with no useful information and creating chaos in our education system than actually reaching a deal.

Families of kids with special needs are going to be seriously disadvantaged because they’re not in school where they belong and can get the supports they need.

BC VIEWS

he month-long Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) consultation closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. Liberal government is compiling the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invitation to comment.

I can’t tell you much about the official input.

The consultation sessions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the submissions via website are also not public.

I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was travelling around British Columbia with his camper van, conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much either, except that a summary of the findings should be made public in September when the government considers new regulations.

The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on farmland.

Also under consideration is allowing breweries and distilleries, as wine and cider production are now allowed, and

A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He added “not one” participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity, such as food processing or retailing. Furthermore, he agreed with Popham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications.

Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery, and the conversion needed only local government approval because the production facility was already considered and taxed as light industrial.

Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland.

Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through.

the province Teen faces impaired charges after fiery crash KELOWNA - A 19-year-old Kelowna man faces potential impaired driving charges after he and a passenger were sent to hospital with serious injuries from a crash late Wednesday night.

The Kelowna RCMP responded to a single vehicle crash on Springfield Road at Hollywood Road South, Aug. 20 at 11:53 p.m.

"The black Chevy Blazer had sheered off a street lamp, overturned and caught fire. Emergency crews were able to quickly extinguish the flames before they could engulf the vehicle," said Const. Kris Clark.

"Police noted a strong odour of liquor on the driver and started an impaired investigation. The driver blew a 'Fail' during a roadside test but required medical attention and was taken to the hospital for treatment. A Blood Demand was made and a sample of his blood was taken for the investigation."

One passenger suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries while a second was unhurt.

The 19-year-old Kelowna man faces potential charges of Impaired Driving Causing Bodily Harm and Drive While Over .08 pending the results of the analysis of his blood.

Fire department responds to chlorine leak at pool SALMON ARM - A small chlorine leak provided a successful safety systems test at the SASCU Recreation Centre swimming pool. Early Thursday morning (Aug. 14), the Salmon Arm Fire Department responded to a chlorine alarm at the centre.

On the scene, firefighters met with staff and determined there was an actual leak, originating from the chlorine dispensing room. Dressed in hazard suits, firefighters Brian Brook and Tyler Stevenson entered the room to investigate. What they found, said Fire Chief Brad Shirley, was a leaking water pipe.

Shirley said the chlorine gas level was far from dangerous but, as a precautionary measure, “we evacuated a bit of the area and made sure people weren’t in too close of proximity.”

For Darby Boyd, the rec centre's business and operations manager, the incident demonstrated the sophisticated safety systems in place are working as they’re supposed to.

I am at home 24/7; I don’t go anywhere. It is the best place in the world. I live on a lake.

I like to get away to go camping and travelling; those are my favourites. But, I enjoy just staying at home, too.

I don’t know. It’s probably more relaxing to stay home with the children, but it is also nice to get away sometimes.

100 Mile House RCMP suspect medical distress was the cause of this unusual motor-vehicle incident.

100 Mile House RCMP Detachment where two breath samples of 260 and 250 mg% were obtained.

The driver was released on a promise to appear for a court date in 100 Mile on Dec. 9.

Medical distress On Aug. 22, the female driver of a north-bound Chevrolet SUV suddenly veered across the two southbound lanes of Highway 97 on the 99 Mile Hill.

Police and Emergency crews responded to this incident.

The female driver was examined at scene and taken to hospital by ambulance. It is believed she suffered some type of medical distress.

Liquor and speed are not factors in this incident. The investigation is continuing.

Residents of the surrounding communities, including 100 Mile House, were in a state of shock and disbelief when they learned James Ruscitti murdered his father and mother, his brother Vito’s girlfriend, Christine Clarke, and a boarder, Dennis O’Hara, in an execution-style shooting around 8:30 a.m. on June 22, 1996.

While Clarke’s twomonth-old baby was spared, she was left alone for 48 hours and suffered from severe dehydration before Carolyn’s brother, Neal Washburn, walked into the Ruscitti home in Forest Grove and discovered the grisly murder scene.

According to the NPB release, James Ruscitti was 15 years old, living on his own, selling drugs and was addicted to marijuana, cocaine and LSD in the lead up to the murders.

He was mad because his father and O’Hara

had searched his home, and then he began his plans to exact his revenge.

James Ruscitti enlisted the help of his friend Chad Bucknell who was 14 at the time.

According to trial testimony, James Ruscitti and Bucknell had spent the night in the Ruscitti home before the fatal shootings in the morning. The NPB noted James Ruscitti was “sober and enraged” when he committed the murders.

The boys fled to Abbotsford for two days before returning home.

When James Ruscitti returned, he expressed surprise and anguish but, eventually. he confessed to an uncle.

James Ruscitti pled guilty to four counts of first degree murder and he was sentence to life in prison. Because he was a young offender, he had to serve the maximum seven years before he was eligible for parole.

Bucknell was found guilty of one count of

second degree murder because he also shot O’Hara.

Bucknell was sentence to life in prison with the seven-year mandatory time served before eligibility for parole. The NPB granted him full parole in 2011.

One of the conditions of James Ruscitti’s unescorted absence is that he doesn’t attempt to make contact with any of the victims’ family members.

Prolific volunteer seeking nomination

Niki Remesz, a Kamloops marketing and business consultant, is taking a run at becoming the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Liberal candidate in the 2015 federal election.

Remesz says she was approached earlier this year to consider going for the Liberal nomination because of her active community involvement and volunteerism.

It is her foray into politics at any level, but serving her community has always been important.

“Running for politics has never been on my radar,” she says.

“When I was asked to consider running for federal Liberal MP, I thought it would allow me to have a greater impact on social, economic and environmental concerns throughout the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding.”

She notes the game camera has gained popularity in recent years, with customers especially looking for those in spring and summer for reconnaissance in potential hunting areas.

They will review the motion-activated video footage or photos to track the movements of the game they will target that fall, she adds.

Some are a tripod and others have just one or two legs to brace the firearm upon, she explains.

Dyck adds several all-new products are coming in for the store’s annual fall hunting sale, including rifle slings, and camo wraps for guns to disguise them out in the bush.

One of the top new items this season is

the Rack N Roll buck rattle that imitates rutting bucks, and straps to the thigh for easy, one-handed operation, she says.

Dyck explains it imitates the banging antlers from two mature bucks fighting it out.

“When a [live] buck hears that, he’s coming in to see what’s going on.”

Products successfully introduced over the past couple of years at the store include a human scent masking spray, she says, adding

“if the deer smell you, they’re gone.”

When families visit the Screamin’ Reel, children are more and more often included in sporting equipment purchases, such as items to hone their target skills, she adds.

“We are getting the younger ones – girls, actually, getting prepared for hunting.

We’ve been selling the little bow-and-arrow kits, which kind of gives them the idea of how to target practice.”

Setting up a hunting camp involves plenty of additional gear, she notes.

Dyck says she has first aid kits, bear bells for family members hanging out in camp, bungee cords for carrying equipment and plenty of clothes for the whole family.

She says the Screamin’ Reel makes an effort to continually expand its stock of the most sought-after hunting gear each year for their South Cariboo hunters.

Great game mounts require work

G

reat care is needed when skinning and salting game for great rugs and head mounts.

After the head is removed from the carcass where the neck and the head meet, continue the centre cut between the ears to a point about two inches back of the antler bases. Make a V cut to the centre of each antler base more to the centre of the burr than the side.

Skin down to the ear butts, cutting the ear at the point to where it meets the head – about halfway down the head. Pick up the V and skin towards the horn base.

Pry the hide away

from the antler burr – do not use a knife for this procedure if possible. By pulling and prying, the hide will remove easily from around the antlers.

On horned animals, such as sheep and goats, push the hair down away from the horn and then cut around the horn at a right angle, being careful not to cut the hair.

Continue to skin to the eye, setting a finger in the corner of the eye, pull the eyelid from the eye, and keep your finger in the eye as you carefully separate the eyelid from the head.

Skin both sides of the head evenly.

The tear ducts (orbital glands) are next.

Skin tight to the bone and pull with the other hand, do more pulling than cutting.

The hair on the face area is a lot shorter than anywhere else on the animal. Be careful not to cut through the skin.

When cutting the lips from the head, I prefer to do this from the outside where I can see the jaw line and teeth.

Make the cut tight to the bone top and bottom – leaving lots of lip.

Separate the lip from the head.

Place a finger in the corner of the mouth and then cut the lip free leaving lots of lip. Skin down to the nose cartilage and cut this down to the bone below. The

skin should now be free of the head.

To turn the ears, I use a rounded stick forcing the cartilage up. I begin skinning with the knife then just use my fingers to separate the cartilage and turn the ears. Once ears are turned, split the lips, holding them in your hand, cut through the meaty part of the lips and they will split like a filet.

Nose cartilage can be dealt with later, but it should be skinned down to the nose pad so it can be properly salted.

To salt a cape or hide, lay it out in a flat area hair side down and proceed to widen the hide or cape stretching for width only, as length can be accomplished at any time. Use only fine salt – table salt. Use generously and cover the hide and face well.

I always put extra salt on the nose pad and eyes on the outside as well as the inside.

Hides should not be re-frozen after they have been frozen; rather it should be dried out.

How to use the chart. IMPORTANT - Your rifle should be shot from a well-padded rest, under calm wind conditions, resting forearm, not barrel, on pad. Four steps to adjust micrometer and telescopic sights.

1. Locate on the chart the exact centre of at least three carefully fired shots, using same hold and sightsetting. For example, suppose centre of group is small circle in upper right hand quarter of the chart, at the crossing points of lines 3L and 3D. 2. Following the vertical line we come to the figure 3L. This means that to ring the next group on the vertical centre line requires that you move your rear sight 3 minutes-of-angle to the LEFT. If your sight reads in minutes-of-angle this means you must move it 3 clicks to the LEFT. If in 1/2 minutes-of-angle, 6 clicks, and if in 1/4 minutes-of-angle, 12.

3. Now follow the horizontal line to the edges of the chart and we come to the figure 3D. This means that you must move DOWN the sight 3 minutes-of-angle to bring your next group on to the horizontal centre line.

4. If your aim was steady and correct on first group and no puff of wind blew any of your shots out of the group, your next group should be in and around the 10 ring. Your rifle is then sighted in for the range and ammunition used.

NOTE: Changing your sight 1 minute-of-angle makes a change in where the bullet strikes of 1/2 inch at 50 yards and 2 inches at 200 yards. Fire your groups slowly, and let the rifle cool a few minutes between groups.

Hunting & Fishing

Wednesday, August 27, 2014 100 Mile Free Press

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

HUNTING

• Learn how to operate your firearms or bow.

• Make an itinerary and give it to someone at home.

• Wear blaze orange and eye and ear protection.

• Hunt with others whenever possible. Know where your companions are at all times.

• Treat all firearms as though they are loaded.

• Know your target and what’s beyond it.

• Keep your finger outside the trigger guard and off the trigger until ready to shoot.

• Never climb a fence, tree or ladder with a loaded firearm or bow and arrows.

• Unload firearms and bows when not in use. Store ammunition and arrows separately.

• Don’t drink or do drugs while hunting.

FISHING

• Always wear life jackets in a boat.

• Fish with others whenever possible.

• Choose a safe area to fish in.

• Make an itinerary and give it to someone at home.

• Wear appropriate shoes and light clothing in case you are pulled into the water.

• Carry spare tackle and gear. Don’t try to retrieve any that falls into the water.

• Bring safety gear and use it.

• Check the weather reports before leaving for your trip.

Head for home if the weather takes a bad turn.

• Be careful when launching and retrieving boats.

• Handle fish with care.

• Don’t drink or do drugs while fishing.

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

A handful of skaters really caught the eye of 100 Mile House Wranglers coach Dale “Duner” Hladun at the local Junior B hockey club's main camp, Aug. 22-24.

The organization is readying for its second season in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League following a second round playoff berth in its inaugural run in 2013-14.

While the roster is far from set, with a slew of exhibitions games slated in early September, Hladun likes a lot of what he saw on the ice at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre during skill sessions and scrimmages over

The Aug. 17 gymkhana wrapped another successful season for the Gymkhana Committee of the 100 Mile & District Outriders Club.

All four gymkhanas – one each in May, June, July and August – were held at the Outriders Arena behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Airport Road in 100 Mile House.

Day prizes were handed out to the top 3 finishers in each division at the monthly gymkhanas.

Points collected at these events determined who would win the top 3 year-end divisional awards.

Buckles were awarded to the year-end first-place winners, while second-place riders got horse blankets, and rooming kits went to third-place competitors.

These gymkhanas are all about people who love horses and riding them and getting together to play some horse games.

These games are timed events and include pole bending, stake racing, barrel racing and the keyhole race.

There are also some novelty events, including musical tires and the ribbon race.

There are five divisions the riders compete in – peewee, junior, intermediate, senior and Jack Benny.

The great thing about gymkhanas is they are truly family affairs. There are families that have parents competing, as well as older and younger brothers and sisters The youngest of the competitors race in the various events and they

He mentions the Chase Heat and Kamloops Storm – Wranglers' division rivals and playoff match-ups last season – as having big home ice surfaces, and the coach wants a Wranglers team that can skate well, move the puck around, and play “fire-wagon hockey.”

Many highlights at Rodeo

The 24th Annual Interlakes Rodeo saw a good turnout of spectators and contestants on Aug. 2-3.

Pat Lytton, one of the event organizers, says there were many highlights, including the good weather, the good rides, a funny clown and calf scramble for the youngsters, and a performance by the Hearts and Hoofbeats drill team.

She adds a lot of effort goes into putting the event together, but it's fun too.

“People don't see all the work behind the scenes and the preparation. We have great volunteers out here at Interlakes. If we didn't have all these people volunteering, we wouldn't be able to do it.”

Lytton thanks the spectators, contestants, volunteers and sponsors.

As far as local competitors go, Ty Lytton of 108 Mile Ranch finished third in a team roping event with Tim Terepocki of Monte Creek. The pair finished with a time of 6.6 seconds and won $295.65 each at the British Columbia Rodeo Association

Wranglers add size, grit to lineup The 100 Mile House Wranglers traded a key forward from last year's lineup, but added experience and size with the move.

Connor Sloan, 19, went to the Princeton Posse in return for Devan Suidy, 20.

Sloan, a West Kelowna player, dazzled fans with his natural scoring touch in front of the net in 2013/14, tallying 19 goals and 22 assists in 50 regular season games for the local Junior B club in its inaugural run in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.

Suidy, from Langley, is listed at 6 feet 3 and 190 pounds. He scored 26 goals with 19 assists in 41 games for the Posse.

“To attain Devan, we had to move a player of good calibre,” says Wranglers coach Dale “Duner” Hladun.

“Princeton was adamant to attain Connor as he is from their region and is a younger player to fit into their two-year development plan. I spoke with Connor and although he is disappointed to be moving from the Wranglers, he is also pumped to have

Q: I would to open a registered education savings plan (RESP) for my kids. I understand there are a few different types and am trying to figure out which one is best. Can you help?

Q:

What should I know when I am considering an investment property?

A:

There are three different types of RESPs: individual, family and group plans.

The individual plan, as the name implies, pays for the education of one beneficiary, while the family plan allows for multiple children in a family to be named as beneficiaries.

You can open an RESP at a bank, a credit union, a mutual fund company, or an investment dealer. In general, individual and family plans offer you more room to choose your own investments than group plans. Individual and family plans can also be cheaper than group plans.Group RESPs often referred to as Scholarship Plans, your money in group plans is pooled with the contributions of other investors.

Investments are chosen by the fund, not the people contributing to it. Group RESPs charge fees for enrolment, administration and processing. There are also penalties for missed payments, as well as pulling out of the plan early.

With low mortgage rates, purchasing a single detached home as a rental can be attractive.

• To qualify under residential mortgage guidelines, the property can’t contain more than 4 units.

• The downpayment requirement is a minimum of 20% down of the purchase price from your own resources – such as a savings or RSP. • When you apply 20% down, the mortgage lender will obtain default insurance - from CMHC or Genworth, for example. An insurance premium will be added into your mortgage.

• To avoid the default insurance premium costs, you can apply 25% down where the mortgage is now considered a conventional mortgage.

• What is the vacancy rate? Low vacancy rates can result in longer term tenants and higher rental income.

• Look for a positive cash flow. The rule of thumb is the rent should cover your mortgage payment, property taxes, insurance costs and an allowance for maintenance and repairs.

Q:

I have a program popping up on my computer telling me I have problems, what is this?

A:

These programs are what we refer to as junkware.

They worm their way into your computer (usually through an infected web site - sometimes as a free add-on to a downloaded game). Often, part of what these programs do when they get in your computer, is they install other junkware. After a short while, your computer has enough of this junk in it that performance is crippled to a slowerthan-slow pace. These programs typically have helpful sounding names but are far from a benefit for you to have.

Optimizer Pro, Advanced System Protector, My PC Backup, Speed Up My PC, Web steroids - this is just a short list.

These programs need to be removed but an additional scan for malware also needs to be done to remove the background (usually hidden) installers that will just keep re-installing this junkware. Gold Rush Technologies can help you remove and clean out your computer.

A: My answer is most definitely a yes.

We have all been there: on a long road trip, our head is bobbing or we actually try to sleep against the door or headrest. Travelling is one of the hardest things on our necks, for a few reasons: if we are travelling it usually is for more than one car or plane ride and also we are potentially going to sleep in different beds as well.

If you have a sensitive neck like mine, one of the best things I have found is to take my own pillow on holidays. Where possible, ask for a different one at your hotel if yours does not seem to be the right fit and also believe your children if they complain about their neck as well. I always think children do not usually complain of discomfort so if they do, try to listen and then have both of you assessed after you return from your holiday.

Q: I can’t afford a lawyer. Can I use legal aid or go to court without a lawyer?

A: Legal aid does exist - but it is only available in a very limited number of situations. If you can’t afford a lawyer, then you can certainly look into obtaining legal aid - but the average person should not be surprised to find that the legal aid system will not help them.

If you are not eligible for legal aid, you are entitled to represent yourself in Court. Some self-represented litigants do just fine - but most struggle. The unfortunate reality is that while legal services can be costly, for many people the cost of being unrepresented is even greater.

What is the attitude of the Courts towards the unrepresented litigant? In the past, it was not unusual to see expressions of ill-disguised frustration from judges in the face of “wasted” Court time dealing with irrelevant submissions.

As the number of self-represented litigants has increased, however, the Courts have been forced to adapt. Indeed, lawyers sometimes have to calm unhappy clients who reach the conclusion that the Court is trying so hard to be fair that it seems to be acting as the lawyer for the unrepresented litigant on the other side.

A couple of years ago, the Alberta Court of Appeal overturned the criminal conviction of Robin Switzer after reaching the conclusion that interventions made by the trial judge would lead “a reasonable observer [to] conclude that the appearance of trial fairness was undermined.” [R v Switzer, 2014 ABCA 129] In the Switzer case, Mr. Switzer was in fact represented by counsel at his trial. Nonetheless, the case does provide an example of the limitations which our judicial system places on the role which a judge can play during a trial.

Good time had by all at the Bridge Lake Fair

From A25

In the corporate competitions, Pat Pasanen won first prize for both Robin Hood carrot cake and Crisco butter tarts, both of which had five entries.

Arlene Henzel placed second in carrot cake, and Linda Farthing placed second in butter tarts. Mandy Lipka won for best Bernardin jam. In Fleischmann’s yeast best bread, Linda Kinnear placed first of five entries and Linda Farthing second.

There were five container entries in various types of headgear.

Elaine Kisby’s most interesting “working” helmet placed first to win a $50 gift certificate from Horse Lake Garden Centre. Arlene Henzel’s helmet of delightfully spreading succulents placed second to win $25 from La Petite Diane Antique Restoration, and Donna Jarvis, whose helmet had eyes, won $10 from Danco’s Hoof Trimming.

Prizes paid out, not including sponsored prizes, totalled $1,125.50 of which $36 was donated back to BLF and a further $65 donated to Roe Lake & District Recreation Commission (RLDRC).

In addition to Paul Faessler’s Coffin Dodgers who come every year to play all day, BLF was delighted to welcome Marco Buehler who played for two hours inside the hall, and Richard Minato who played a half-hour spot outside, and jammed with the Coffin Dodgers for

Bridge Lake Fair display

much of the day.

Of special interest this year was Cambria Volonte of Fitness 4 You who led visitors in an exciting and healthy Zumba demonstration.

This year, BLF was very pleased to welcome back clown Sharal Johnston who painted many faces; and was equally impressed with “Our Lady of Spain’s” beautiful dancing.

Expert Saori weaver Siana Kelly demonstrated all day, and showed many a youngster how easy it is to do.

Children and adults alike had a great time with the cakewalks run

by Linda Farthing, and the old-fashioned races under the auspices of Teen Space. Kudos must go to Linda Farthing and Kim Walters who baked four beautiful cakes and dozens of cupcakes for those who did not win a cake.

As usual, Joni Head kindly brought her alpacas, and New-Cal bunnies and babies enthralled the children.

Joanne Seabloom of Seabloom Mini Ranch gave her perennial horse and cart driving demonstration and the tiny horses were there to be petted all day.

The door prize of wondrous edibles went to a “so excited” sevenyear-old Emily Stuart of Nanaimo.

Obituaries REYNOLDS Rita Jean

Oct. 19, 1937 - Aug. 21, 2014

It is with great sadness and loss that we announce the passing of Jean - beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend. A great lady, she gave everything of herself to her devoted husband Don, son Gord (Jane), daughter Barb (Dave), grandsons Dale and Tyler, brother Frank and sister Barbara, and most of all, her past students. Jean’s family, gardening, teaching and friends were her true passions. She continued to teach until the moment she left us.

Our family would like to thank Doctors Lapin and Hutchinson, the hospital staff and the ladies from home care; without them, our needs would have been difficult.

Remember Jean, as she is one to be remembered and respected for who she was - a great lady. There will be a gathering of friends and family to remember Jean at the Forest Grove Community Hall on Sunday, September 14th, 2014 at 2:00 p.m.

Fishing reopened after Mt. Polley tailings pond breach

Mount Polley gold and copper mine's tailing pond breached on Aug. 4 saw 10 million cubic metres of water and 4.5 million cubic metres of fine sand flow into Polley Lake, with most of the slurr y scouring Hazeltine Creek and making its way into Quesnel Lake.

Following water sample testing, a salmon fishing closure was put in place for the Quesnel and Cariboo rivers.

Based on the recent water quality testing results provided by the British Columbia Ministry of the Environment, Fisheries and Oceans Canada rescinded the salmon fishing closure on the Quesnel and Cariboo rivers and reopened those fisheries.

Fishers may retain one chinook per day with a fork length less than 77 centimetres.

However, they may not retain chinook with a fork length greater than 77 cm.

The South Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department (SGLVFD) members hosted a longstanding event at the Fred Potter Memorial Hall on Aug. 2.

The event was started 10 years ago, and was originally called the “Ice Cream Social.” Now, it’s called Community Day. The goal is to invite the full- and part-time residents, as well as those who spend a few weeks at the lake for holidays and everyone’s guests to get to know the SGLVFD members and what they do on behalf of the community.

The day stated with a walk, run and bike ride behind the fire truck.

After the singing of O Canada by Jackie Jamison and her sister Annie, master of ceremonies Wayne Cox got all the other activities underway at 11 a.m.

Activities included tug of war and hose relay. There was a fish pond for the youngsters, and more than one person went into the pond to cool off.

There was an opportunity for children to sit in the fire trucks and have a picture taken, and they got to take home mini firefighter helmets. Children were also encouraged to try their hand at spraying water at a target with the fire hoses.

There was also a demonstration of rooftop and perimeter sprinkler systems that residents could use to protect their homes during an

Marge’s Café in Buffalo Creek recalled Centre of activity when Buffalo Creek and Forest Grove were humming

By Peter Hart

I

t was a fine time for strong and resourceful families, as the area boomed with the post-war demand for beef and strong-as-steel first-cut Interior Douglas fir.

100 Mile House was in its infancy in the late 1940s and 1950s, while to the east over a dusty dirt road, the communities of Buffalo Creek and Forest Grove hummed with activity, their economy growing and their society close-knit.

The many small bush mills brought their rough two-inch sawn lumber to Gordon Graham’s edger mill at Buffalo Creek.

Names like McNeil, Minato, Uyama, Karahashi and Sikui were prominent. The Japanese families were interned here during the war years, and stayed on to play their part.

After edging, their wood was trucked to the railhead at Exeter, bound for Vancouver.

Laird and Mona Crawford’s store was there, too. It sold every possible item the thriving community needed – groceries, clothing, hardware, appliances, animal feed, fuels, even a few cars.

A generator ran 24 hours a day, keeping the lights on and the freezers cold, long before BC Hydro came through.

Laird and Mona’s daughter, Maureen, says the gas pump was never locked.

“If we happened to be away for the day, and someone needed fuel, they would help themselves and leave a note stating how much they had taken. Dad always said you could leave a $10 bill on the front veranda and nobody would ever touch it.”

Bill Baker stepped into this scene in 1949. A faller and ship-

most of the folks enjoyed something faster. With the electric lights on at night, and music in the air, people gravitated to the café.

“When mom put on ‘Crazy Otto and His Piano’, people were bouncing off the walls,” says Garry.

With Marge’s natural good humour, it’s not surprising she made many friends among the Canim Lake Band. Theresa Boyce and Lizzie Archie were close, and they would stop sometimes for tea.

Sometimes native people ate vegetables from Marge’s garden located across the road. This would be repaid in various ways – one time with a beautiful pair of beadedMarge and Bill Baker are in the back of this photo that was taken at the Forest Grove Evangelical Free hide gloves left in the Church Christmas gathering in 1957. garden as a gift.

Cariboo Market dates extended 108 MILE RANCH

berringtonservices@shaw.ca

The Cariboo Market at the 108 Mile Community Centre has continued to grow, so now the season has been extended to midSeptember – Sept. 4 and 18.

This would be a good time for vendors to bring in their fresh produce to sell. Tables are

Reg Berrington photo

Bev French of the 108 Ranch Community Association showed some of the clothing with the 108 monogram, such as shirts, T-shirts, baseball caps and sweaters.

$10 each, admission is free and the hours are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

For rental inquiries, contact Carol at 250-

791-6736 or Emmy Lou at 250-791-5446.

Gas pipeline Spectra Energy will

be replacing approximately 900 metres of its 36-inch diameter natural gas pipeline this month in the 105 Mile area, starting just south of Block Drive.

This upgrade is to meet the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standard for oil and gas pipeline systems as required by the CSA and National Energy Board standards.

CCLF news The B.O.B. (Band of Brothers) and Young Guns will be having a baseball game at the Rock Youth Centre in the 108 Mile Ranch on Sept. 9, starting at 6 p.m.

Community spirit continues From B1

to the only school in Forest Grove.

The bus would take them all the way and then double back for the kids from Gateway and Buffalo Creek.

As Sharon tells it, one day in winter just past Gateway a front

wheel came off.

“We started bouncing from one side of the road to the other, but the snow banks were so high and frozen, we never left the road.

Herbie just said ‘Oh, can’t cut the mustard’.”

The house that once was Marge’s Café is gone now, burnt in the

Buffalo Creek Fire of 2009. Marge and Bill have passed on and rest together in the cemetery at Forest Grove.

The spirit and character of those early

days live on, however, in their many descendants. But that’s another story.

Peter Hart is the Free Press Canim Lake correspondent.

This will be an incredible game as the competition is very fierce. Come along and watch the fun.

Mark your calendars for Sept. 12 at 5:30 p.m., as it is Family Circle time at the Cariboo Christian Life Fellowship (CCLF) church.

The church will be supplying wieners, buns and fixings. Please bring along salads and desserts, but don’t forget the lawn chairs, roasting sticks and bug spray.

Weed cutting In the last few days, Interior Roads cut the weeds on either side of the roads.

The 108 roads now look so much better, as well as making it safer for drivers and children.

Many thanks go out to Interior Roads.

Food needed Loaves and Fishes Outreach requires the public’s help.

Unfortunately, this time of year is their slow time for donations.

They are asking for our assistance in obtaining non-perishable goods.

These items can be dropped off at either the front entrance to the CCLF office or the Loaves and Fishes depot located on Exeter Trunk Road by Bethel Chapel.

Art Tour to benefit local health care

Creative fundraising event ready for second year at 108 Mile Ranch

Highlighting the many ways people can help improve local health care, the South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF) is hosting its Second Annual Studio 2 Studio Art Tour on Sept. 13.

The self-guided tour of 108 Mile Ranch artists’ homes will benefit local health-care facilities and goes from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The event is a creative way to raise funds and the inaugural went really well last fall, says SCHF public relations coordinator Brenda Devine.

“There was a lot of good feedback. I’m really hoping it’s going to be successful this year.

“Last year, a lot of people took visitors with them to see what our area was like.... People can’t believe what kind of quality stuff we have here.”

No tickets are required and 25 per cent from art sales will support the SCHF. Vidas Restaurant in 108 Mile Ranch is

partnering with the event and is open for lunch and dessert Sept. 13.

The tour features 10 local artists: • Susan Kruse (acrylics) 4879 Gloinnzun Dr. • Gloria Friesen (abstract photography) 5446 Tatton Stn. Rd. • Yoka Loiseau (mixed media) 4730 Kitwanga Dr. • Cindy Wickingstad (acrylics and jewelry) and Bobby Crane (acrylics) 4774 Kitwanga Dr. • Rita Giesbrecht (Chris Harris Photography) 5577 Back Valley Rd. • Shirley Gibson-Bull (water colour and collage) 4910 Gloinnzun Cres.

• Gordon Spare (oil and acrylics) 4874 Pierreroy Cres.

• Jenny Taylor (quilts and threads) and Joanne Young (painting) 5463 Donsleequa Crt. More details and a map are available at Donex, Pharmasave, Save-On-Foods, 100 Mile District General Hospital (reception), local health clinics and various businesses around 100 Mile House.

“For me, it’s extremely relaxing, very creative, and I dearly love the people involved. I’ve made some very good friends,” she explains.

Marilynne was a co-judge at this year’s Bridge Lake Fair.

Rodeo news The Interlakes BCRA Rodeo Committee congratulates this year’s all-around cowboy, Cole Scott; and all-around cowgirl, Candace Chevalier.

Cole won a halter donated by Royal LePage, while Candace’s prize halter was donated by Safeway.

Taylor Cherry took the high-point junior award to win the Junior Buckle donated by Steve Brown, in memory of his father, Gordon Brown.

Taylor also had the fastest junior barrels time to win a halter donated by Lazy B Saddle & Tack.

Ginelle Talarico was the fastest at ladies’ barrels, and won a halter from the Log House.

Sad passing Residents were deeply saddened when Moira Davies passed away Aug. 12 at the age of 72.

Moira and her husband, Larry, and three wee children moved to Deka in 1970, making them the first permanent residents after the “pioneers.”

Moira was a founding member of Deka’s Ladies Auxiliary, and a keen bridge player.

She will be sorely missed by countless friends. Deepest sympathy is extended to Larry, Shelley, Leanne and Patrick, and their families. A celebration of life will be held at Deka Fire Hall at 1 p.m. on Thanksgiving Saturday (Oct. 11).

My downspouts appear to be plugged. When it rains, the water cascades over the sides of the gutters.

Downspouts allow water to flow off the roof from gutters and away from the foundation of your house. If branches, leaves or other debris clog the downspout, water can back up and flood the interior of your home. For best results, be sure to examine and clean your downspouts at least twice a year.

Place the ladder by the top of a downspout, usually at one corner of your house. Make sure the ladder is secure and on flat ground.

Get a bucket and climb the ladder to the top of the downspout. Hang the bucket on the ladder, if possible, or use an “S” hook to hang the bucket from a rung of the ladder.

Examine the downspout and remove branches, leaves, sticks and other debris from the area. Discard them in your bucket.

Get the garden hose. Set the hose into the top of the downspout and turn on the water.

If water runs freely to the bottom, the downspout is clean and free of rubbish. If water backs up, you have a clog.

To remove a clog, spray into the downspout with a high-powered sprayer attachment on your hose. Try spraying from the top and the bottom to loosen the clog.

For tough clogs, use a plumber’s snake, which is a flexible auger that spins into the clogged area to clean out the obstruction. Once the snake loosens the clog, use the hose to wash out the debris.

Repeat these steps for all of your home’s downspouts.

Lac la Hache Elementary School students, with help from parents, planted their summer gardens that included potatoes, carrots and turnips in mid-June.

Throughout the summer, the vegetable garden has been well tended to by a number of students and their parents.

They purchased a pumpkin plant from the Cariboo Plant Ranch and the purchase of the plant entered them into The Great Pumpkin

LIFE WITH PETS Dog Days of Summer Who doesn’t love summer just for the food?

Finally, fresh vegetables from the garden, delicious desserts, and barbecues with friends and family. Of course we want to share the fun with our canine family members. They are all too happy to oblige and never complain that their steak is too rare or that the chicken is dried out.

As usual, I am going to be that stick in the mud - please don’t give in to those mournful brown eyes. Many of the culinary treats we enjoy this time of year can be a gastric disaster for our dogs. As a veterinarian, some of the worst cases I have seen have involved dogs at a barbeque.

They should just carry a sign “Will be cute for food”. Those tiny morsels add up when your dog works the crowd - not to mention what gets dropped, discarded or simply left unattended on a paper plate. Fatty foods, especially ribs and chicken skin can be

particularly dangerous.

The sudden intake of fats puts the pancreas (a temperamental organ even under the best of circumstances) into overdrive. Powerful enzymes that normally would be released into the gut in tiny amounts are abruptly released into the abdomen, causing severe pain and often vomiting and diarrhea. These enzymes then essentially begin the digest the animal’s own tissues.

Aggressive treatment and hospitalization are often essential to save the dog’s life. Some dogs with this condition, called pancreatitis, do not survive even with the best of treatment.

Those that do survive are highly subject to future episodes.

Once the party is over, it is tempting to hand over that yummy bone to your best friend.

Again, this can create a similar problem.

Many bones have large amounts of fat still attached and the marrow of large round bones

is almost pure fat. One common misconception is that the danger in bones is that they can splinter and the sharp end might perforate or puncture the stomach or intestine. While this can happen, it is rarely the case. The issue with bones is that they can easily become an obstruction in the digestive tract. Small pieces that are swallowed become compacted together as the body tries to move them through the intestine. When many small pieces are crushed into one or more larger pieces, the body quits trying to move them through and the obstruction must be removed surgically.

Now that I have taken away all the fun, what can you give your dog to show him or her that they are your favorite party guest?

Items from the veggie tray are usually a good choice - avoiding radishes, onions and peppers.

Broccoli, carrots, lettuce spines and many dark greens are good choices.

Small bites of cheese and the occasional cracker or roll are unlikely to be a problem. Bits of lean chicken or beef with no visible fat or skin are also acceptable choices, but do avoid giving pork as it tends to have a high fat content.

I know. . . I know. . . party pooper. Just tell your dog that it’s all my fault.

Under the hood is the truly tried and tested Pentastar 3.6-litre V6, matched to a six-speed automatic transmission.

This power combination pumps out 283 horsepower but still remains frugal when it comes to fuel economy – 12.2/7.9 L/100 kms.

Driving in town with such a large vehicle is not so much of challenge as you might expect. The excellent vision provided by large windows helps when parking in those tight supermarket spots.

Stop/go traffic on Highway One was not fun and certainly spoiled the fuel

That said, once rolling on the freeway, the Caravan hits its stride and return to sipping gas rather than gulping.

The basic Caravan is anything but basic in its equipment tally and starts at $27,995. The tester was loaded to the gunwales with every bell and whistle and came in at $43,580. Take out the basic for the test drive then start adding the features you want until you run up against budget wall.

‘Mom’s taxi’ is going to be around for a while yet and that’s good news for sports oriented families and maybe even the National Hockey League. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
