Tentative teacher deal hammered out Mediator intervenes to kick-start contract agreement

Carole Rooney Free Press

A tentative deal reached in the teachers’ dispute may soon see students back in public schools in British Columbia. After five drawn-out days behind closed doors in talks with the two parties, mediator Vince Ready confirmed the news long-awaited by parents and students in his comments to media shortly after 4 a.m. Tuesday (Sept. 16). “After all these hours, I am very pleased to announce that the parties have reached a tentative agreement.” The B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) will have its membership vote on the agreement on Sept. 18. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna

Barnett said this is “great news,” and she hopes the deal moves forward. Every day children are not in school makes a difference to everyone involved, she added. “It is most important to get young people back in the education system ... they are missing some of the most important academic time of their life and they need to be back in school learning. “I hope when it goes to a vote that the BCTF votes yes.” Marathon bargaining sessions resumed last week under increased pressure from the public, a push for arbitration from the BCTF, and implications by government that it might legislate an end to the labour dispute. Ready, who has wide-spread rec-

ognition for his mediation skills, was asked by the two bargaining teams for help to resolve issues that culminated in a teachers strike underway since June. He said both sides worked hard to reach the tentative deal, but declined to reveal any specifics. “I’m not at liberty to release any of the details, nor are the parties. The parties are going to meet later this morning and finalize a few of the outstanding details ... and that’s really all I've got to say at this point.” Cariboo Chilcotin Teachers’ Association president Murray Helmer said there is “some optimism there,” but he needs to see the deal to ensure all its objectives have been met. “I have total faith in our negotiat-

ing team in coming away with what they felt was the best possible deal. I’m confident they have not compromised in any way that would take away the things that are most important to us.” He explained if teachers do vote in favour of the agreement, it’s “not impossible” School District #27 classes could be back in session by Monday (Sept. 22), but it would take a sizable effort. Not only do support staff need time to clean facilities closed up all summer, teachers also have a lot of prep work to do before resuming classes, Helmer noted. “It’s really going to be a gargantuan effort to have it unfold for Monday. But, members are keen to be back and they want to do their jobs.”

The completed renovations at Watch Lake Community Hall provide an all-new look to a facility originally built in 1943. The rebuilt log portion helped bring the hall up to modern standards.

Groups host hall re-opening Public invited to celebrate completed renovations Carole Rooney Free Press

The public is invited to turn out for a grand reopening celebration of the fully renovated Watch Lake Community Hall on Sept. 20 from 1 to 4 p.m. at 6453 Little Green Lake Rd. The Watch Lake and District Women’s Institute (WLDWI) and the Watch Lake/Green Lake Community Association (WLGLCA) jointly manage the hall and collaborated on fundraising for the renovations. They will also co-host this celebration. WLDWI treasurer Lynda Krupp says there will be hot refreshments, appetizers and tours of the new environmentally friendly heating systems, larger kitchen, indoor washrooms and other updates. The event will showcase and mark the completion of the hall renovations after four years of work by the two groups, with support from across the broader community. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett will perform a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2 p.m., and some appreciation awards will be handed out at the gathering. In 2013, the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) allocated $12,000 in Community Works Funding

The original, rustic log structure at the hall gradually degraded over the years, so a larger building was attached at the back to offer a better gathering space.

(CWF) toward the installation of a radiant tube heating system for one side of the hall and new awning windows. This year, $9,600 of CWF was granted to the WLDWI to install other energy-efficient, under-floor heating in the log portion of the building – the final step of the renovations. “We are so grateful to the CRD,” says Krupp. The hall now meets modern heating standards, which reduces the utility bill and the carbon footprint and provides a more comfortable environment for its community users, she adds. Other renovations included a 14- by 57-foot building addition with a larger, commercial kitchen. Major funding contributors include the CRD, Williams Lake and District

Credit Union, BC Hydro, Kamloops Foundation and other grants and in-kind contributions, Krupp notes. She adds the two Watch Lake groups also held fundraising activities and the community helped out through donations. A “wonderful thing” happened the first year (2010) when the CRD was funding three halls under a total budget of $15,000, Krupp explains. “We didn’t have too much money. Well, the Lone Butte Community Hall and the Roe Lake [Interlakes] Community Hall passed on using theirs, and allowed the Watch Lake Community Hall to take their portion of the money. “We had to give it back, but that’s how we got it going. The other halls have helped us – and they did that more than once.”

Thanking the folks who contributed is a large portion of the reason for the re-opening celebration, Krupp says. “We owe a lot of people a lot of things.” She notes the WLDWI was founded in 1939 by pioneering families in the Watch Lake area, and proceeded to build the Watch Lake Hall and much more for the community, hospitals, schools, and the Second World War effort. This included holding annual fall fairs, dances, bridal showers, community

dinners, teas, various seasonal parties and many other events for decades. Back then, its members wrote letters to authorities to lobby for improved highway conditions and hydro power service. Today, the members of both of these Watch Lake groups continue to support their community and perform other good works.

Town-hall talks taxes

LES ofonclasses OODgoing now!

Residents hear, remark on where their money will go

Carole Rooney Free Press

The town-hall budget meeting hosted by the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) in 100 Mile House ended up in a lengthy debate over the proposed community aquatic centre. Before the pool project proponents and opponents in attendance squared off to put forward their opposing viewpoints, CRD chief financial officer Scott Reid gave a PowerPoint budget presentation. The nine people who turned out learned more about the budgets and the various services

the CRD provides and the tax requisitions that help pay for them. In the District of 100 Mile House, 2014 tax requisitions for solid waste the CRD provides amount to $235,403 out of a CRD total of more than $3.8 million for solid waste throughout the Cariboo. District tax requisitions for the South Cariboo Recreation function provided by the CRD amount to $213,570, out of a CRD total of about $6.3 million in taxation for recreation across the Cariboo. The next largest requisition is for the library network, with $97,277

coming from 100 Mile House taxes (of $3.9 million total), followed by administration/governance, at $73,405 (of $5.5 million across the CRD). Other taxation for 100 Mile House includes 9-1-1 emergency ($35,453), the South Cariboo Regional Airport ($25,552), funds for feasibility studies ($3,269) and smaller amounts to total $684,446 in local requisitions. Other taxation is shared with areas outside of 100 Mile House, such as the $25,000 that goes toward South Cariboo Search and Rescue operations.

GOOD MUSIC AT THE MARKET

The municipality also provided taxes in the amount of $294,000 to the Cariboo Regional Hospital District. A public debate subsequently ensued between some local residents on the proposed $5.1-million South Cariboo Aquatic Centre. John and Sue Code spoke in favour of the proposal, for reasons including the health and recreation benefits of a pool, especially for seniors and children. However, Larry Badke, and Larry and Ann Pinkney, argued the construction and maintenance costs to taxpayers were too high to be a reasonable project for the community, particularly under its

current economic conditions. The CRD is now in the process of polling a sampling of residents who live within the taxation boundaries. This is intended to gauge the public appetite for moving to a potential public hearing and referendum on the South Cariboo Aquatic Society’s pool complex. This was the second of four budget meetings, and was followed by a similar town-hall for Area G on Sept. 11. The final town-hall takes place in Area L (Horse Lake/Lone Butte/Interlakes/Watch Lake/North Green Lake) on Sept. 30, 5-7 p.m, at the Lone Butte Community Hall, 5994 Little Ft. Highway 24.

Government aims to right wrongs

Gaven Crites Free Press

History was made again by the Tsilhqot’in Nation. Premier Christy Clark met with leaders of the First Nation on its traditional territory in the Central Interior, becoming the first British Columbia Premier to do so. There, provincial and First Nations leaders signed a Letter of Understanding (LOU), committing the parties to strengthening their government-to-government relationship. The meeting in Nemiah Valley follows the Supreme Court of Canada’s historic judgement in June granting Aboriginal title to the Tsilhqot’in Nation of its traditional territory in Central B.C. The ruling is thought to give First Nations more leverage with respect to land use and land rights decisionmaking. The provincial government states the LOU, signed on Sept. 10, is a commitment to work together with the Tsilhqot’in to achieve a just and lasting reconciliation, and sets the stage for long-term negotiations. “The Supreme Court of Canada has provided us with clarity, direction, and a profound opportunity to build a more positive relationship between the province and the

Tsilhqot’in Nation,” Premier Clark says. “The way forward starts with a renewed and strengthened vision of First Nations as partners in the economic, political and social future of this province.” The LOU sets out the beginning of how the province and Tsilhqot’in people will implement the Supreme Court’s decision, while both parties are expected to establish working groups within the next 30 days to prepare a plan on how to move forward. Priority issues are mentioned in the LOU.

Pacific coast through their territory to goldfields discovered in the Cariboo. “Sept. 10 was a day I thought would never happen,” says Chief Joe Alphonse, Tribal chairman of Tsilhqot’in National Government and Chief of Tl’etinqox, one of six bands that make up the Tsilhqot’in Nation. 150 years ago, our Tsilhqot’in Chiefs came to negotiate a peace accord, under a flag of truce, only to be arrested and hanged as murderers. “The signing of this LOU marks an opportunity to move beyond

this tragic past, and start a new era based on real respect and recognition. There is so much that can be accomplished in this province by working with First Nations instead of against us.”

Petition favours speed reduction Folks want speed set at 70 km/h until safety measures implemented

70 Mile House resident Tom Grantham stood at the end of his driveway access to Highway 97 while this transport truck rumbled past well over the 100 km/h speed limit. More than 570 area residents signed a petition asking the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to reduce the speed limit to 70 km/h until it implements turning lanes and better infrastructure on a 2.5 km corridor through the community.

cle incidents in that area of the highway, he says, adding there is a lot of concern for residents’ safety. Grantham notes there are 16 residential and business access roads that come directly onto Highway 97 in that 2.5km stretch, and many accesses have limited visibility. He says the local committee would like to see the MOTI identify things it would do to address the safety concerns, such as third lane or signage. “We would like to see the speed limit reduced to a mandatory 70 km/h until there is some implementation of safety changes. We think it’s a reasonable request and expectation.” M e a n w h i l e , Grantham says there has been some voluntary compliance to the

He adds this has caused some confusion because the motorists are slowing down but the logging and transport trucks want to go the mandated 100 km/h. Then the big trucks get up right behind them and lay on the horns, he says, because they’re trying to push the legal speed limit. “This is why [MOTI] should change the speed limit for at least the foreseeable future until such a time as they get turning lanes and better infrastructure built out here.” 70MHSSRC members would like to see the ministry put some electronic speed-reader signs at each end of the corridor, so drivers can

Most folks in the 70 Mile House area want to see the speed limit on the community’s 2.5-kilometre corridor on Highway 97 reduced until safety measures are put in place by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI). The 70 Mile House Safety and Speed Reduction Committee (70MHSSRC) circulated a petition at five locations in the community from July 29 to Sept. 1, and received resounding support from those who use that corridor on both a daily basis and seasonally. The petition, which asked if folks were in favour of setting a 70 km/h speed limit in the corridor until safety measures are implemented, was signed by 576 people, 70MHSSRC member Tom Grantham explains. Currently, the speed limit is 100 kilometres per hour, but area residents believe it’s dangerous because it is too fast, especially in winter when braking distances are much longer.

Clinton death ruled a homicide RCMP looking for assistance on James Painter’s activities on Sept. 10

RCMP are investigating the death of longtime Clinton resident James Painter who was found unresponsive in his trailer on Sept. 10. The Clinton RCMP responded to a 9-1-1 callout, and when they arrived at the

home, an emergency health services crew was already on the scene, but it was unsuccessful in resuscitating the 61-year-old man. Originally, the RCMP was treating Painter’s death as suspicious, but following an

autopsy on Sept. 12, the case was upgraded to a homicide investigation. The RCMP is not considering Painter’s death as a random incident, and is not releasing the cause of death at this time. The RCMP is, how-

ever, asking anyone with information about Painter’s whereabouts and activities on Sept. 10 to call the Clinton RCMP Detachment at 250459-2221, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or www.bccrimestoppers.com.

Public hearings are scheduled for: today (Sept. 17) in Prince George; Sept. 30 in Kamloops; Oct. 1 in Williams Lake; and there will be a video-conference session in Quesnel on Oct. 8. Further information on how to partici-

pate, including public hearing locations and times, as well as information on the work of the committee, is available on the committee’s website at www.leg.bc.ca/cmt/finance. To register to make a presentation, contact the Parliamentary Committees Office by phone at 1-877-428-8337, or by e- mail at financecommittee@leg.bc.ca.

weakness in the hind legs, fever, and the inability to stand are clinical signs in horses of West Nile, which is spread by mosquitoes. “British Columbia has been fortunate in the past few years as it has not seen West Nile cases, even though the virus has been active in all the western provinces and [United] States,” according an Aug. 25 news release from the Canadian Medical Veterinary Association (CMVA). Veterinarians strongly recommend an annual vaccination and that

horse owners reduce the mosquito populations around barn and pasture areas, and avoid having horses out when mosquitoes are active. While most infected people will never know they’ve had the disease, there is no certainty a horse will survive acute infection without a vaccination, and horses that do survive may be left with longterm muscle weakness. Reid says he did have his horses vaccinated during a West Nile scare about 10 years ago, but hasn’t since the most

Hospital system co-ordination astounding

n Aug. 28, British Columbia’s healthcare professionals, and the overall health-care system, showed worldclass skills, co-ordination, professionalism and compassion after a terrible accident on the Coquihalla Highway. The men and women of our health-care system worked exceptionally hard to provide life-saving services for those injured in the crash. From all accounts, the speed and skill of those who responded and provided ongoing care has certainly saved lives. A bus full of tourists enjoying B.C.’s mountains flipped over, injuring all 56 people on board. Seven people were critically injured, while six had serious injuries. Within minutes of the crash, health professionals who happened to be on the Coquihalla Highway, including two emergency doctors, were at the scene. Ordinary British Columbians also rushed out of their cars to help in any

way they could. B.C. Emergency Health Services dispatched the first ambulance to the scene within minutes; in the end 19 ambulances and six air ambulances arrived at the crash, whisking people to the help they needed as quickly as possible. Local fire departments also sent first responders to support paramedics in their work. Meanwhile, six hospitals throughout Terry southern B.C., Lake from Merritt to Kelowna and Kamloops, and all the way to New Westminster, sprung into action to receive the injured. Three hospitals, including those in Kelowna and Kamloops, declared a Code Orange, which prepares a hospital to receive mass casualties. The most seriously injured arrived in Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, Kelowna General Hospital, and

Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster via air ambulance, where emergency doctors, nurses, surgeons and other health professionals were ready, with about eight operating rooms prepared for immediate surgery. Other bus passengers arrived at hospitals throughout the afternoon and evening, including the eight-bed Nicola Valley Hospital in Merritt, to receive quick and efficient care. The level of co-ordination throughout the system during this event was astonishing. B.C. Emergency Health Services and hospitals worked closely to make sure patients received excellent care. Even while treating this many casualties, not a single scheduled surgery was cancelled that day at any of the hospitals involved. The health professionals also were deeply aware

GUEST SHOT

fter a four-month teachers strike/lockout, which caused public school closures in British Columbia two weeks earlier than usual and was into its third week after the normal September opening, a tentative deal has been initialized. The standoff between the B.C. Teachers' Federation (BCTF) and the B.C. Liberal government has been testy at times with both sides vying for public support in an effort to put pressure on the other side to back down. Despite all efforts that didn't happen. Public opinion polls throughout the summer favoured the teachers' cause. However, it started to even out in the week before school was supposed to go in. Then public outrage escalated to the point that pressure was being pushed on both sides. Within quick succession, the BCTF asked the provincial government to enter into mandatory arbitration and Education Minister Peter Fassbender hinted legislation may be needed to break the impasse. With all of these things in the air, expert mediator Vince Ready did what he does so well – he kept the two sides behind closed doors and enforced a media ban. While we don't know what goes on behind those closed doors, we can only speculate that Ready played the wise father figure who established a nononsense atmosphere to encourage and cajole two misbehaving children to play nicely in the sandbox. He often keeps the two sides negotiating into the wee hours and keeps them zeroed in on the collective goal to get a deal done. We don't have the details of the tentative deal at this time and both the BCTF executive and the provincial government will have to look at the specifics before they will be released to the public. The BCTF membership will have to vote on ratification before anything happens. It appears there is some optimism on both sides and, certainly, most parents and students are keen about getting schools back in session. There is high hope children can be back in school on Monday (Sept. 22), but that remains to be seen even it the deal is ratified. There is a lot of work to be done before students can return to their classes, as unionized staff members have to get the school operations ready, teachers have to prepare their lessons and new teachers and children have to be sorted into their classes. We can only hope for the sake of everyone involved, especially the Grade 12 students who are preparing for provincial exams and post-secondary education, that the school doors open as soon as possible. With that in mind, we ask motorists to drive cautiously in school zones and encourage parents to teach safe travel rules to their children.

of meeting the social and emotional needs of the patients. Many of the passengers on the bus spoke Chinese dialects; hospitals made sure translators were available to explain procedures and answer questions. Hospital staff helped reconnect family members and update them on how their loved ones were doing, and where they could be found. Three days after the motorvehicle incident, many of the passengers have been released from hospital and those 30 or so who were still admitted continued to receive world-class care. They are in my thoughts daily, and I sincerely hope they all have a full recovery. As Minister of Health, and a British Columbian, I want to thank all the health professionals, first responders and citizens who responded to this terrible accident and its aftermath. We are all very proud of your efforts. Terry Lake is British Columbia’s Minister of Health.

Opinion

70 Mile House corridor unsafe for residents To the editor: Your Sept. 3 Guest Shot article from Transportation Minister Todd Stone outlined projects for the Cariboo Connector for the coming three years. Unfortunately, there was no mention of any improvement for the highway as it passes through 70 Mile House. There are serious safety concerns with increased traffic flowing at high speeds through this residential area.

Over the years, I have seen many accidents in this section of highway and countless “near misses.” For example, three different vehicles have been clipped as they tried to turn into our driveway and one more serious accident happened when a driver couldn’t stop in time, went through the ditch, and hit our friend’s vehicle after it had made a right-hand turn off the highway and was in our driveway. There are at least 15 other

driveways or roads accessing the highway in the 2.5-kilometre corridor through the community. The corners in this stretch of highway limit visibility and drivers travelling at 100 km/h don’t have a lot of time to react when they round a corner to see a truck and horse trailer just pulling onto the highway. The shoulders are not wide and there is little room for error. Apparently, most of the many accidents in this corridor have

Time to take the B.C. Liberal government to small claims court To the editor: The other day a contractor came to my door and informed me he was going to build a deck on the back of my home. I informed him I did not ask for a deck and that I do not want one. At that point, he informed me he would be charging me a $65 “failed deck installation charge.” Obviously that did not happen. Why it is obvious speaks for itself. Yet, that is exactly what

BC Hydro and our provincial government are doing to those individuals who have chosen not to take a smart meter. When our government behaves like a criminal, is there any wonder why so many are failing to show up at polls at election time? It is time for all of us to flood the small claims courts and put an end to this. James G Smith Nanaimo

BCTF executive not paid British Columbia Teachers’ Federation executive members are not receiving pay during the union’s strike. Incorrect information appeared

not been attributed to “speed.” However, a reduced speed may reduce the frequency of accidents caused by “without due care and attention” or “following too close.” It would at least give drivers more time to react when they see an obstruction and would add only 35 seconds to their total travel time. The transportation ministry has put up signs to indicate the need to watch for local traffic and suggests reducing speed to a maximum of

70 km/h through the community. I appreciate that some have taken this suggestion to heart, but it needs to be regulated for others. The four-laning makes it safer to pass slow vehicles on the open road, but I would like to see the ministry carefully address safe travel through communities with 70 Mile House being a case in point.

"Maternal health" promotion criticized

To the editor: Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod recently promoted a “roundtable” on the federal Conservatives program on “maternal health.” Canada’s commitment to address maternal health is laudable. Certainly, the need is pressing. Some 6.6 million children under age five, half of them newborns, still die every year from preventable or treatable causes. But, despite the federal Conservatives commitment, the initiative lacks transparency, as a recent critique in The Lancet reported. An accounting of how and where the funds are being invested, the respected medical journal reported, is all but impossible to get. Canada has also avoided the critical issue of contraception and abortion, which experts say is part of the full range of mater-

nal health. The World Health Organization reports 120 million women around the world want access to family planning. But contraception is not properly on the table with this government. Fewer women and girls will be saved if a full range of sexual and reproductive health services are not provided to those most in need. Unsafe abortion kills tens of thousands of women a year, but many more are maimed and affected for the rest of their lives. We need to offer a full range of maternal health services like other partner countries do. On the Conservative government’s watch, Canada’s foreign aid, currently $5.6 billion, has declined by more than $800 million in real terms, slipping to a meagre 0.27 per cent of our Gross Domestic Product. It’s well below the donor country average

and target of 0.7 per cent. Canada’s international reputation has been tarnished by the Conservatives: recipients of the International “Fossil of the Year” several years running and losing a seat on the UN Security Council. Multilateralism and our hardearned reputation as a balanced power-broker has suffered hugely. Bellicose rhetoric is not a responsible form of foreign policy for a middle power like Canada. Canada was once a highly respected and credible voice in international affairs. It is increasingly marginalized and not taken seriously. That has to change if we are to be a truly global and serious player. Bill Sundhu Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo NDP candidate

BC VIEWS

hatever cease-fire emerges from the latest round in the war for control of British Columbia’s public school system, the next court battle is ready to proceed. Lawyers for the provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have filed their written submissions to the B.C. Court of Appeal. At issue is whether legislation removing union contract terms that dictated class size and teacher staff levels was a violation of members’ constitutional rights to freedom of association. When B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin found that it was, the government changed legislation again. She ordered that struck down and the 2002 contract language reinstated retroactively for every contract since then, imposed or negotiated. The government says that would create chaos as well as billions of dollars in expenses, pushing out full-day kindergarten and other allocations of space and money that have proceeded

there to negotiate. The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected governments when providing public services. Its submission notes that unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and sometimes eliminated as in the case of police and health care. It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so. Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from United States labour law to conflict in the Middle East. Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

the province Vandals desecrate graves QUESNEL - Sometime after 4:30 p.m., Aug. 5, vandals drove their vehicle into the Quesnel Municipal Cemetery on Quesnel Hixon Road and just in front of the Crematorium left the pavement and spun donuts across as many as 20 – 25 graves. The cemetery is open to the public to visit their loved ones buried there – no gates prevent entering. Supervisor of Parks and Solid Waste for the City of Quesnel, Jordan Mitchell said they see this once in a while but never over graves. “I was very disappointed these people felt the need to disrespect the families of loved ones buried there,” he said. “Luckily it's a flat surface area with flush markers but they did leave rubber on some of the markers and obvious tracks in the lawn.” He said staff will be raking in top soil and seeding the area to repair the damage. Mitchell added there’s a city cemetery bylaw that allows for up to $10,000 fine for various offences including this type and it could incur police involvement as well. “But the point is it's the injustice to the families and those buried here,” he said. “I connect with the people who visit the cemetery and feel bad for those people that someone would do that.”

Arrest after suspected shoplifter pulls knife KAMLOOPS - Kamloops Mounties have a man in custody after a suspected shoplifter pulled a knife on a store detective at the downtown Cooper’s Foods location. RCMP Const. Jason Epp said the store detective tried to stop a man who had allegedly shoplifted from the grocery store in Lansdowne Village on Lansdowne Street. The suspect pulled out a knife and threatened the store detective before running from Cooper’s. Witnesses in the area helped police find the suspect a few blocks from the store, where he was arrested without incident.

Speeding and prohibited drivers nabbed

Police

report 100 Mile RCMP responded to 58 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Excessive speed On Sept. 13, 100 Mile House RCMP were conducting speed

enforcement on Highway 97 in 100 Mile House. A vehicle was observed being operated at a high rate of speed, which was confirmed on radar as being operated 44 km/h over the posted speed limit. The driver was pulled over and issued a violation ticket for excessive speed. His vehicle was towed and impounded for seven days.

Tent turned in On Sept. 13, a tent and its contents were turned in to the 100 Mile House RCMP from the municipal campground on Horse Lake Road. The tent had been abandoned for a week after it had been set up. If anyone has any information regarding the tent and its contents, please contact 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-

An approaching vehicle was observed to have one headlight not working. The vehicle was stopped near Super

Save Gas in 100 Mile House. The female driver was not able to produce a valid driver’s licence. A check of her background determined she was prohibited from driving. The vehicle was towed and impounded for seven days. The driver was issued an appearance notice for court on Dec. 9 in 100 Mile House.

Phillip May back in court

Ken Alexander Free Press

100 Mile House area resident Phillip Thomas May, who has been charged with attempted murder and other charges, including aggravated assault, using a firearm to cause bodily harm and flight from a police officer, appeared in a Williams Lake courtroom today (Sept. 17). The charges stem from a shooting incident and a police chase on May 31. Around 8:25 a.m., 100 Mile House RCMP members responded to a complaint about a man being in distress at a 93 Mile Loop Road residence. When the officers arrived, they found a 39-year-old man who had been shot. During the initial police investigation, May was identified as the suspect. Officers then went to a Lone Butte area residence to arrest the suspect. When they arrived,

officers confirmed May was present and they set up containment areas around the residence because they believed he was armed. While they were waiting for backup to arrive, May fled the residence, hopped into a vehicle and raced away from the scene. When the suspect fled, RCMP members were able to effectively deploy a spike belt. However, May drove over the spike belt and continued driving on the rims. Fearing he was making his way toward a more populated area, officers forced his vehicle off the road by performing a precision immobilization technique (PIT) manoeuvre – a pursuing car forces a fleeing car by bumping it and making it abruptly turn sideways, causing the driver to lose control and stop. May, 59, appeared in Williams Lake provincial court on June 18, where he was facing

Bear sightings and instances of humanbear conflict are on the rise in the South Cariboo. 100 Mile House conservation officer (CO) James Zucchelli says once a bear finds a food source, it never forgets – and it passes on the knowledge to its offspring. “We’ve had an

increase in the number of bear sightings and the number of conflicts with bears in the 100 Mile area and all the surrounding communities in the last two weeks.” If the bears don’t find a food source, he adds, they will leave. “With the cooler temperatures, the bears start kicking in with their need for caloric intake and they start pushing into

Regional candidates relay reasons

Two of the three South Cariboo area directors for the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) say they will run again in the Nov. 15 local government elections. CRD Area G (Lac la Hache108 Mile Ranch) Director Al Richmond says he will run for the board because it needs to keep the Cariboo an affordable place to live. “We need to develop a sustainable local economy that can provide the foundation to a fiscally strong region. Through the jobs our businesses provide and the taxes we pay, we need to ensure we are delivering the right level of service and the taxpayer is getting the best value for money.” The CRD needs to work with the provincial government to develop new formulas for how local governments are funded, the board chair explains. Richmond says the current model of property taxation is not effective. “Our property taxes are maxed out and we need to look to new ways to fund our community’s needs. We need to develop a sustainable economic plan that will provide direction on how to

promote our communities and attract new opportunities for our residents.” CRD Area H (Canim LakeForest Grove) Director Margo Wagner says she has planned to run for a second term since before the last election.

“It was my first term ever in municipal politics and it is a huge learning curve, so in order to be as efficient and as successful as you can be, you have to take the time to learn.” Wagner says she will continue to battle for high-speed Internet and cell service for remote locations in Area H if she is elected. “That is a very uphill battle. It comes down to how much money the companies that offer it can make. They will not do it if they’re going to lose money and it’s very frustrating.”

Wagner will also continue providing updates in her newsletter, she says, adding the recycling she has fought for will be implemented at the Forest Grove Transfer Station in October. “I love doing this. I find it very rewarding. I’m a retired nurse and I loved nursing, but if I’d known I was going to enjoy this as much as I am, I would have quit nursing sooner.” Area L (Lone Butte-Interlakes) Director Bruce Rattray is retiring after six years on the CRD board. So far, no candidates have publicly released a declaration to pursue the vacated position of Area L representative. Rattray notes anyone considering running for this position can access information on the new rules for campaign financing from Elections BC online at www.elections.bc.ca. Other pertinent candidacy information is on the Ministry of Community Sport and Cultural Development website at www.cscd.gov.bc.ca/ lgd/2014elections/index.htm. Information about the CRD and its directorial areas is at www. cariboord.bc.ca.

Bruce Rattray to step down this fall CRD Area L director decides time right for retirement

Carole Rooney Free Press

Bruce Rattray says he won’t run in this fall’s municipal elections to retain his seat as Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Area L director, which he has held since November 2008. Now is the right time in his life to stop and smell the roses, he explains. “I’ve been in government in one form or another since the 1970s, and it is just time to move on.” Prior to coming to the South Cariboo in 2006, he lived and worked in territorial government in Yellowknife for almost 25 years, and also spent a couple of years working with the federal government in Ottawa. “This [CRD] is my local government stint, so now I have done all

BEAT THE CROWDS - ARRIVE EARLY!

Last year, the inaugural Orange Shirt Day, Every Child Matters events took place in 100 Mile House and Williams Lake, which were inspired by a memory shared by Phyllis Webstad. Webstad attended St. Joseph Mission residential school for a year when she was six and the brand new orange shirt her grandmother had bought her to wear to school was taken away. At the recent Assembly of First Nations Chiefs Assembly in Halifax, delegates passed a resolution supporting Sept. 30 as Orange Shirt Day across Canada. Orange Shirt Day will be celebrated on the ballfields at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre in 100 Mile House on Sept. 30, starting at 1 p.m. There will be children’s activities and entertainment, a Gary Fjellgaard performance, Survivors Sharing, and mental health supports provided the Indian Residential School Survivors Society. Folks are encouraged to wear something orange to honour the residential school survivors.

Tips to deter bears

From A12

The next most common attractant right now is fruit trees, Zucchelli adds. “There are crab apple trees and ornamental fruit trees that are producing fruit right now and people are not ... picking it, and the bears are coming into close proximity to residents to access that fruit.” During the early morning and late evening especially, the chances are

“

Other attractants commonly found by local COs include outside composters, livestock feed (particularly oats and chicken feed), pet

Every year, we end up having to kill three or four bears, and it’s the people’s actions that are causing us to pull the trigger."

– James Zucchelli

“very high” that people will run into a bear up in a crab apple tree in their yard – and bears can be defensive over food sources, the CO adds. “Every year, we end up having to kill three or four bears, and it’s the people’s actions that are causing us to pull

the trigger.” Zucchelli explains it is an offence under the Wildlife Act to have predator attractants on your property, including garbage cans and open business dumpsters, when bears are in the area. There are fines that apply, he notes.

100 Mile House conservation officer James Zucchelli says people are the problem when it comes to the recent increase in bear sightings in local neighbourhoods. He offers the following tips: • Do not put garbage or recycling outside until collection day, or take it straight to the landfill. • Clean garbage cans regularly with bleach or ammonia to reduce the smell. • Bury compost by turning it over, and add lime to speed process and reduce smell. • Do not add meat, fish, bones, or sweet or smelly foods to outdoor compost. • Remove all fruit and berries, both edible and ornamental, from the yard. • Don’t dump fruit anywhere to feed bears; dispose of it at landfills or community compost sites. • Chop down any trees or bushes bearing fruit you don’t use. • Don’t fill bird feeders during bear seasons, and clean up any spilled seed. • Educate yourself and your family on bear safety. For tips, visit the Bear Aware website at www.env. gov.bc.ca/cos/info/ bearaware. • Don’t get complacent about seeing bears in your area; they are always a safety threat to the neighbourhood. • Always report any predator sighting to the RAPP line at tollfree at 1-877-952-7277.

Couple welcomed Deka Lake is happy to welcome Phyllis and Bud Barry who have purchased the McCune home. Bud won the Best Four-Wheeler Award at the Interlakes Economic Association’s Aug. 24 Show ’n Shine at Interlakes Corner, and Phyllis spends much of her time tying flies. Bud is hoping to become a volunteer firefighter, and will be warmly welcomed. Pizza support On Sept. 2, Interlakes Market ran a pizza by donation event, which

was instigated by owners Bob and Anneli Goheen whose home burned down Aug. 26. All money raised from slices of pizza sales was to go, according to the buyer’s choice, into one of four buckets labelled for each of our local volunteer fire departments (VFDs). At day’s end, $1,128.90 had been raised for our VFDs, as follows: Deka, $385; Interlakes, $382.35; Lone Butte, $197; and Sulphurous, $164.55. All of VFDs’ members are sincerely grateful.

There are many different types of gravel and materials used to pave driveways. Gravel driveways are usually made of smaller, crushed stone or rounded rocks. While gravel driveways are not always the most attractive type of driveway, they are definitely one of the most inexpensive. Gravel driveways are also easy to maintain and are resistant to weathering and damage - a plus here in the Cariboo. Pea Gravel Pea gravel is an inexpensive type of gravel. It comes in a variety of colors and textures. It is an attractive smaller stone that comes in a mixture of many sizes and finishes. More costly pea gravel is more rounded and not as sharp, more consistent in size, and has a better, richer color. Since pea gravel is small in size, it is better used in smaller driveways.

Lava Rock Lava rock is a porous rock that is reddish in color. The rock usually comes in a round or chunky shape. Due to the porous nature of the rock, this type of material will drain easily. Also due to the light weight of the rock, it is fairly inexpensive and will work for smaller or lengthier driveways. Self-Binding or ‘Crush’ This is the most common form of driveway material because of its inexpensiveness and ease of use. Ideal for longer areas, this type of gravel is made from a variety of different sized pieces that pack and lock together after repeatedly being exposed to the pressure of vehicles. This results in a more concrete-like driveway. However, unlike concrete, you do not have to worry about surface cracking or drainage problems.

The Champ was here

Ken Huber impresses family and friends, raises cash for upcoming national title bouts Gaven Crites Free Press

training is very broad. From southpaw to orthodox, short, fast, slow, power-punchers – we try to prepare for anything and everything.” Huber last fought in May, when he defended his B.C. Combative Sports Association title with a splitdecision victory over Victoria-boxer Bryan Colwell. The champ, as he’s known to do, started slow in that fight. Colwell boxed well early on and won the first two rounds. Huber finished stronger and landed harder shots. The fight was close and it could have went either way. Huber isn’t planning on giving up any early rounds in Mississauga. “From bell one to bell five, we’re going 100 per cent – [throwing] five, six, seven, eight-punch combinations. Normally, I’m throwing two or three punches and I’m stepping to the side

and looking for what’s coming. This time we’re bringing the pressure.” Huber, a father of three, turns 31 right before the Oct. 17-18 bouts. He wants to fight professionally after he defends his amateur title. But his boxing career is limited to the next five years, he believes, and after that he sees himself focusing more on running his boxing gym – the Kamloops Boxing Academy – and mentoring young and up-andcoming pugilists. The sport of boxing is built on stories of redemption, and Huber’s is one of them. A former heavy druguser, the soft-spoken fighter found in boxing structure and something greater to strive for. He trains hard and eats right and he’s a champion. He wants to offer that to

somebody else. “There’s more to life than partying and hanging out with your buddies, and dreaming and talking about what you could be doing – as opposed to just getting out and getting it,” he says. “When you achieve that goal, something changes inside of you, and you know you’re worth it. If I can get one person to do what I did with my life, I’ll feel satisfied. ” In Forest Grove, Marg stood and watched her grandson blast away at the hand pads, putting on a fun and exciting show for the crowd. At one point, she even had the gloves on herself and posed for pictures, a big smile on her face. Watching Huber now takes her back to when he was younger. “He wasn’t too much of a scrapper,” she remembers. “He was a pretty good kid.” She’s never seen Huber fight, and she doesn’t think she wants to. Still, she’s moved by his accomplishments. “I’m so proud of him. Very, very proud of him.”

he fists were flying in Forest Grove, and for the occasion, Grandma Huber baked cookies. After all, Marg’s grandson, Ken “Heavy Hands” Huber, the current World Boxing Council (WBC) Canadian Cruiserweight Champion, was home. The amateur boxer put on a skillful demonstration for fans, friends and family at the Forest Grove Legion on Aug. 30. He also posed for pictures and signed autographs while fundraising for an upcoming trip to Mississauga, Ont., where his national title is on the line in October. The hometown visit meant a lot to Huber, 30, who fights out of Kamloops now but grew up in the 100 Mile House area. He also holds a Western Canadian and provincial title. When he first started boxing about 10 years ago, he never envisioned a rung this high, or a scene quite like this one. “I’m almost overwhelmed to see this kind of support. It’s huge. It’s nice to come back to your hometown and see people support you, and people love you, and people believe in what you’re doing. “It’s very humbling,” Huber adds. “It makes you feel like you’re doing the right thing.” The upcoming WBC-sanctioned tournament is basically an east-meets-west showdown. Ontario fighters match-up against those from Saskatchewan, Alberta a n d British Columbia. The original locale was a casino in Niagara Falls, Ont., but the card was moved to a convention centre in Mississauga, just west of Toronto. Huber is one of four cruiserweights expected to be there. He’s potentially looking at a rematch with London, Ont.boxer Renie Placid, whom Huber beat last year to first attain his WBC title. Other than Placid, Huber doesn’t know anything about any other fighters. Gaven Crites photo “I really am blind to what Marg Huber helped organize a fundraising event at the Forest Grove Legion for her grandson, Ken Huber, an amateur I’m going into,” he says. “I try boxing champion, on Aug. 30. to keep my mind open.

Over the boardwalk

Wednesday, September 17, 2014 100 Mile Free Press

More 'flow', 'character' added to mountain bike trails at 99 Mile Gaven Crites Free Press

A recently-constructed boardwalk system has added character and fun to the mountain bike trails located a short climb up 99 Mile hill just outside of 100 Mile House. The five wooden paths, built over areas where standing water made the Hun City Mountain Bike Club trail unridable, are about two-feet wide, one foot off the forest floor, and stretch a couple hundred feet in total. “The best option was to put the boardwalk in,” explains club member Steve Law, a professional forester and avid mountain biker who helped build them. “It adds flow and character. It’s another cool and exciting thing.” You roll quickly across the new paths, but virtually everyone can ride them, Law adds. “When you hit it, you want to be looking to the other side. You

don’t want to be looking down.” Law is also a member of the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium, which promotes mountain biking in the entire region and helped pay for the new boardwalks in 100 Mile House. The consortium also encompasses Williams Lake, Wells and Quesnel. Law mentions Williams Lake, which has hundreds of kilometres of trails, as one of British Columbia’s top destinations for mountain biking. The 99 Mile Hill, a multi-use area that also sees snowmobile, crosscountry skiing, model flyers, backcountry horsemen and archery clubs, is the sight of the StormRider Race Series, which is hosted by the Hun City Mountain Bike Club. That race wasn’t held this year, but organizers are hoping to host one again in 2015. Law encourages more people to enjoy the local trial system, which has seen a lot of upgrades recently.

Wranglers great out the gate

Gaven Crites Free Press

Coach Dale “Duner” Hladun is a happy man. The 100 Mile House Wranglers won two of three games in hostile territory to open its 2014-15 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League campaign, which couldn't have started further from home, on the road for three games in three days – or five games in six days counting exhibitions – with stops in Grand Forks, Beaver Valley and Spokane, Wash. Pleased with the effort in the lineup under tough circumstances, Hladun wasn't going to “eat their lunch” about the one loss. “That was character building,” he says of the

taxing schedule. “Our guys were tired but I couldn't be prouder.” Looking ahead to 100 Mile's home opener on Sept. 19, the coach talks a lot about leadership. New and veteran players have already stepped-up, he says, mentioning goalie Kristian Stead, who spent many nights standing on his head in Wranglers colours last season. “I thought Kristian Stead was huge for us all weekend,” says Hladun, adding he can see right away the team will follow 20-year-old captain Devan Suidy. Assistant captains are Josh Odelein, 18, a defenceman from Saskatchewan, and returning forwards Lane van de Wetering,

Suidy, an acquisition from the Princeton Posse, notched the local club's only goal,

Down 3-1 late in the second period on Sept. 13, the Wranglers potted the next, and last, three goals of the game, getting the big 4-3 comeback win against the Nitehawks in Beaver Valley. Stead made 37 saves on 40 shots. Micky Turner, Lynch, van de Wetering and Suidy found the back of the net for the Wranglers. Lynch, Headrick, Justin Bond and Jayden Syrota

Racers soar throughout season

Local motocross riders raced all over the province this summer and drove away with a ton of points. The British Columbia Motocross Association (BCMA) season came to end in Quesnel Sept. 6-7, and riders from Lac la Hache and 70 Mile are now sitting pretty high on overall points lists. Connor Szatmari, of Lac la Hache, finished first after eight races in the BCMA South’s 50cc (age four to six) division, while his brother, Mason Szatmari, was second place in that division. In the BCMA North series, C. Szatmari finished second overall, while M. Szatmari came fourth. Lac la Hache’s Brad

Perron raced to fourth overall, out of 26 riders, in the BCMA South’s Schoolboy category. In Junior MX-2, Perron made second overall out of 54 riders. In Junior MX-3, Perron raced to third overall out of 42 riders. In the North series, Perron finished third of 39 in Junior MX-3, third of 45 in Junior MX-2, and sixth of 29 in Schoolboy. Clayton Wride of 70 Mile finished ninth of 16 in Intermediate MX-2 in the BCMA North series. In Intermediate MX-3, he raced twice and finished 12th overall of 27. In the South series, Wride rode to third place of 17 in Intermediate

MX-2, and second of 18 in Intermediate MX-3. Tyler Glover of 70 Mile raced to 13th overall after running four races in Junior MX-2 in the North Series. He was 10th in Junior MX-3. In the South series, Glover came fourth overall in Junior MX-3. In Junior MX-2, the 70 Mile driver finished fourth of 54. As a race in Kamloops (set for Sept. 20) was cancelled, the Quesnel event was the last of the season, with an awards’ banquet slated in the coming weeks. In Quesnel, C. Szatmari won first overall on Sept. 6 and third on Sept. 7. M. Szatmari was sixth on Sept. 6. and sixth on Sept. 7. Wride was third on

Sept. 6 and fourth on Sept. 7. Perron had some bad luck in Schoolboy on the first day and bent a rim on his bike, finishing fourth in one race and not finishing the second, earning 11th place overall on Sept. 6. He borrowed two bikes to finish off the day and only went fast enough to finish the race and pick up points. On Sept. 7, Perron finished third overall after two races, placing first in the second moto. In Junior MX-3 on Sept. 6, Perron finished 11th overall. In Junior MX-2 on Sept. 6, he finished fifth overall. On Sept. 7, Perron finished second overall. Glover raced to sixth

Terrance arthur Terrance Arthur (Terry) Bach passed away in Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm, B.C. on Wed., Sept. 10, 2014 at the age of 66 years. Born in Vernon, B.C. on June 18, 1948, Terry was an active resident of the Sicamous and Shuswap area for many years, well remembered for his zest for life and his love of aviation, both as a pilot and instructor. His work allowed him to live in a variety of communities, which also allowed him a variety of occupations to go along with his flying. Saw mill worker, biologist, commercial pilot, and guitar teacher, to name a few. Terry was predeceased by his parents, Art in 1974 and Nellie in 1999, and his wife, Carol in 2006. Terry is survived by his daughter, Sally Parrot, a stepdaughter, Jamie (Al) Verez of Dog Pound, Alberta and her children, Chet and Arden; four sisters: Eleanor Bach of Sicamous, Diane Vanderburg of Sicamous, Joan Barker of Lumby and Sharon Thibodeau of Sicamous, as well as a host of nephews, nieces and friends. A Celebration of Life service will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion in Sicamous on Saturday, Sept. 20 at 2:00 p.m. with Jack Bowers as the funeral celebrant. Friends are welcome to bring along their musical instruments to partake in a jam session during the reception, which is being catered by the Ladies Auxiliary to the Legion. “He could fly higher and he knew it was time to go home.” Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorum, Salmon Arm. Online condolences may be sent through Terry’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

February 9, 1941 – July 9, 2014

Nancy peacefully ended her life journey after a valiant 19 month struggle with pancreatic cancer. Nancy was predeceased by her husband William (Bill) and two special grandchildren. She will be sadly missed by her son Charles (Sharon), daughters Dianne Knight (Rick) and Sonita Davis (Robert), her seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild, her brother Stan Pollard (Daphne), sisters-in law Ruth Glessing and Carol Russell (Doug), brother-in-law Norm Davis (Renie), many nieces and nephews including one special nephew Grant Glessing (Carla) and their children, as well as many wonderful friends in the Cariboo, on Vancouver Island, and in the Lower Mainland. Nancy lived in the Cariboo area for 25 years during which time she and her husband Bill owned and ran their business, Gateway Lock and Key. The Cariboo always remained in Nancy’s heart, even after she moved to Vancouver Island to be closer to her family after Bill passed away. Nancy was born in Victoria B.C. Her cremation took place in Ladysmith, B.C. Nancy’s interment and graveside prayers will be at 100 Mile House Cemetery on Saturday, September 27th, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. with a reception to follow at the Presbyterian Church Hall in Lac La Hache at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BC Cancer Foundation, 13750 96th Avenue, Surrey, BC V3V 1Z2 or to the charity of your choice. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of www.100milefuneralservice.com

Lived in Lac La Hache from 1972-1990 Adeline passed away quietly on the morning of September 8, 2014. Daughters, Wendy and I, Milana, were at her bedside reminiscing about stories that were told to us by our mother. We related one story about Mom as a young girl who loved horses and often rode the family work horse out on the prairie. She rode bareback because work horses had no need of saddles. As with most horses, when his nose was turned toward home, he ran a little faster. When they neared the barn, Mom would drop the reins and reach for the cross beam above the barn door. The horse would continue in and she would slip off and drop to the ground. When this story was finished and Wendy and my chuckles subsided, Mom took a couple more shallow breaths and left us. Adeline is predeceased by her first love, Milo Green, her second love Borge Hansen and daughters Cheryl Green and Penny Young. Her last six years were spent in Menno Hospital care facility in Abbotsford where she suffered from dementia. We are very thankful that although this disease slowly took her memories, she did retain her cheerful disposition and cheeky sense of humor. The staff at Menno took wonderful care of her and for that we are very grateful.

Love Lives On Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, far as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.

Improper canning can lead to botulism

Precaution key to avoiding illness from home canning

Now that local fruits and vegetables are ripening, the BC Centre for Disease Control is reminding people to practise safe home canning. Improper canning can lead to botulism, a serious form of food poisoning that can cause death. In the past three years, three

people in British Columbia have been hospitalized after eating home-canned foods. One person became ill after eating home-canned green beans, another after eating fermented salmon roe and a third from watermelon jelly purchased from a charity. There are a number of ways to prevent illness: • Always follow the recipe. • Do not reduce the time or pressure specified in the recipe. • When a recipe calls for a pressurized canner, never substitute

with the boiling water bath method. • The boiling water bath method can only be used for high acid foods, such as strawberries or rhubarb. It should never be used for vegetables, meats, seafood and other low acid foods. • Do not reduce sugar or acid (lemon juice, vinegar) in the recipe. • Only use clean fruits and vegetables, free from soil, and remove bruised, damaged or cut flesh. • When preparing fruit jellies and jams, ensure the type of fruit

Cariboo Idol contestants wrapped-up their season at the South Cariboo Fall Fair in 100 Mile House on Sept. 6. The local performers have a lot of good stuff to say about their experience.

Performers embrace Cariboo Idol experience Recording sessions booked following season of entertainment

Gaven Crites Free Press

even local singers and songwriters closed the show with performances touching on multiple genres of music at the South Cariboo Fall Fair in 100 Mile House, Sept. 6. While Cariboo Idol contestants are usually in competition with each other for top prizes, performing solo at various community fundraising events throughout the summer, this year was a little bit different. Some of the idols accompanied each other on stage this season, one brought up a band, and all seven, after three contestants dropped out earlier in the year, received a cheque for their participation. “This year was good to allow

the idols to bring other people up on stage with them,” explains organizer Rob Fry. “In the past, they were on their own. It was all about them. This year was about performing.” Cariboo Idol, a music contest for local performers meant to benefit community fundraising events, is in its eighth year after starting in 2004, and taking a few breaks in between. This year’s contestants – Tanya Guenther, Britta Westerager, Jillian Thomson, Stephen Perry, Alyssa Lindberg, Tyrell Norton and Kira Saenger – also received three hours of studio time to record songs and a video clip. On stage inside the South Cariboo Rec. Centre in front of Fall Fair visitors, Perry and Lindberg, who have a one-yearold son together named Odin, performed songs by Mumford

New aootse The M

& Sons, Lorde, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. “We play music together at home all the time. We thought it would be fun to perform together,” says Lindberg, in her second year as a Cariboo Idol. This was Perry’s first. “It was educational, that’s for sure,” he says of the experience. “I learned a lot about playing on stage. You take a different look at it when you go up there.” The couple have started writing original material together and they’re hoping to record some in the studio. This was Westerager’s second experience as a Cariboo Idol. “It’s really nice to get yourself out there, and to see what everyone else can do,” she says. “And it supports the community. I love that.” She sang songs by Cher and

Gnarls Barkley. “It’s nice to be together with everybody. You make such good friendships.” Guenther plays with a local bluegrass group, Front Porch, which joined her on stage at the Fall Fair. Back in May at her first Cariboo Idol audition, she said, “Anytime you can perform and help charity or another organization, it’s worthwhile.” Saenger, a Cariboo Idol contestant for a second time, plays guitar and sings. She performed songs by Sublime and The Black Keys, accompanied by her cousin on guitar, at the fair. She recommends the Cariboo Idol experience to anyone looking to get on stage and sing. “It was fun, definitely.” Norton, a first time idol, echoes that sentiment.

“Whoever wants to get up, just go for it. It’s quite the experience.” Norton plays guitar. He sang something by Theory of a Deadman at the fair, and he’s working on one of his own songs to take to the studio. “[Cariboo Idol] was educational. It definitely kept my music ability up.” Thomson sang a folk song she wrote, titled On my own. It’s her second time being a Cariboo Idol. She’s very softspoken but likes to be up on stage. The experience this year was “a lot of fun”, she says, and it helped her gain more confidence. “I’ve written a few songs and been on the radio, and I play at the [South Cariboo Farmers’ Market].” Her future plans include recording an album. “I’m excited.”

“Find friends and food for faith”

Dear Canimites, With the parade of south-bound campers now over-the-hill, thoughts turn to reaping the last of the harvest and topping off the woodpile. In the night sky above, Orion the hunter sneaks over the Eastern horizon, followed by his faithful dog Canis Major marked by the brightest of all stars – Sirius.

Queen’s University in Kingston in third-year science and will soon be off on an international exchange – Debra to Edinburgh and Andrea to Helsinki. Evelyn Froehling, daughter of Waltraud and Wilhelm Froehling, is in her last year at University of Alberta, pursuing her passion for language and culture. Samantha Tait is in second-year science at Thompson Rivers University, immersing herself in biology this semester. That’s all for now. Until next time, here’s wishing you many blessings.

CAG show captured ‘Magic of Light’

Gaven Crites Free Press

The fourth time was the charm for Sharon Isaaks. The Cariboo Artist Guild (CAG) member recently won the People’s Choice Award for her painting of the northern lights at the group’s annual Fine Art Show and Sale at Parkside Art Gallery in 100 Mile House. This year’s theme was “Magic of Light.” Local artists captured a variety of subject matter having to do with light, which was judged by visitors. The themed-pieces hung in the entrance of the local gallery while an assortment of many

more paintings by CAG artists went on display in the main showroom. Isaaks did her painting,

titled “Borealis,” in acrylic. It took four tries to get the natural light display in the sky as right as it was pictured

in her head. She wanted to use a lot of colours, and she did – a mix of lime greens and oranges are feathered into the stars over a bright yellow, nearly white sun, which peaks behind purple mountains, a dark green forest in the foreground. “I did it in watercolour [at first] and it didn’t work out,” she explains. “I just wanted to do something different. That’s what happened.” Carolyne Herperger, a CAG member, was busy hanging the piece, along with those of other winners, at the Showcase Gallery, where they’ll be on display for the

month of September. Herperger was impressed with the creativity of the show, which saw a variety of takes and embodiments of light. Seventeen paintings were sold and 22 artists entered the show. “We’ve had a lot of visitors from overseas this year,” Herperger says. “Quite a few of the paintings sold and went to Germany and Denmark and places like that.” Linda Lindberg’s painting, “Darkest Days,” was awarded second place. Laverne Martin’s painting, “Nuevo Sunset,” won third. Honourable mentions went to Michelle Brown

Summertime ESL Cafés in Forest Grove enjoyed by participants FOREST GROVE

Doris E Rufli 250-397-7775

travelbug@meowmail.com.

The 100 Mile House English as a Second Language group organized two ESL cafés in and around Forest

Grove this summer. The delicious potluck lunch at the Becker Lake Ranch on July 8 took place on a beautiful and hot day – mostly in the shade. This type of event is always very popular and it was well attended, with gracious host Armida Braendli making sure everything went smoothly. On Aug. 12, Mary and Ken Bourne invited the ESL learners, tutors and organizers – Anita Price and Noreen Beer

– to an outdoor gathering to discuss practical gardening in the South Cariboo. Ken’s garden and greenhouse were filled with delicious food of all colours, while Mary’s flowers were an absolute delight. The hosts were very knowledgeable in all things gardening and planting – and not just in the Forest Grove area – while Noreen’s wellloved coffee and Anita’s “goodies” were delicious. This was another very successful occasion thoroughly enjoyed by all and of great interest to those present. The next ESL Café

to take place in Forest Grove will be on Nov. 11 to attend the Remembrance Day celebrations at the Legion. Darts tournament The next darts tournament will be a Legion fundraiser and take place on Sept. 27 at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #261-Forest Grove – 4535 CanimHendrix Lake Rd. Registration starts at 10 a.m. with the tournament commencing at 11 a.m. This mixed-doubles event is open to everyone, so please join in and bring your partner.

For more information, please contact Ruth and Rene Leblanc at 250-791-7348. Upcoming event The Forest Grove & District Recreation Society and the Forest Grove Legion invite all to join in a Spaghetti Dinner & Dance Fundraiser at the Forest Grove Community Hall on Oct. 4. Tickets are $12 and are available at the Forest Grove Legion, the Forest Grove Hardware Store, Ron Lister at Tasco Supplies in 100 Mile, or by calling Wendy Clarke at 250-397-2452.

winter roads should not be a problem. Of course, you would want to invest in a good set of winter tires. Beyond the city limits, out on the highway, heading south it handled the road well, with enough get up and go for good passing power when needed. It’s quite roomy for a small car. There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy! Verdict: No complaints. For a sub-compact, you get great tech options, great fuel economy, in a car that doesn’t feel like you are driving something as inexpensive as it is. It’s fun and zippy for driving around town or highway driving. If you need a small car as a

daily commuter or it’s your second car to accommodate a bigger SUV or truck, I would recommend taking one out for a test drive to see if it fits for you in what you are looking for in a car. The Fiesta right now for me is tops in the subcompact class.
