Alpine water loops mains up

Two sections, 36 pages

FIREFIGHTERS BATTLE FULLY ENGULFED HOUSE FIRE

Carole Rooney Free Press

The $1.46-million Alpine water main project is flowing closer to fruition.

A joint grant application to the federal-provincial Building Canada/Small Community Fund was authorized at the District of 100 Mile House councillors on Jan. 20.

District director of engineering Phil Strain says the current water main servicing the 99 Mile area has a 100-millimetre (four-inch) pipe that does not meet adequate firefighting flow standards and needs to be doubled in size.

The upgrades will provide adequate fire protection to existing residents and businesses, while improving water flows and adding more capacity for future development, he explains.

“We’d also have another main going up to the high-zone [water] tower, so that’s good – if the one goes down, you’ve got a back-up.”

Mayor Mitch Campsall says these grants have not been available for some time, so the District has “had it in the books” for several years while it saved up its own portion.

“We’ve got stuff on the shelf ready to go, but we can’t do anything until the funding is there.

Guide-outfitter taking another hit Condie: harvest allocations have been all over map since 2008 Ken Alexander Free Press

Local guide-outfitter Chris Condie, whose guiding territory is in Region 5 (Cariboo) and a bit of Region 3 (Thompson), isn’t happy with the Wildlife Allocation Policy (WAP) changes announced by Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson on December 2014.

Condie says he is tired of the “misrepresentations” he’s been reading in letters and stories in the media during the past month.

Since Thomson’s mid-December release that some 168 extra allocation permits were going to be released to guide-outfitters, there has been an ongoing battle between the British Columbia

Wildlife Federation (BCWF) and the Guide Outfitters Association of B.C. (GOABC).

The BCWF and resident hunters throughout the province are mad about guide-outfitters getting more permits for “foreign hunters” at the expense of its members who want to “fill their freezers.” GOABC states the increased allocation would help the guide-outfitting industry try to remain viable because its members’ tags have been reduced significantly.

Up to 2007 when a Harvest Allocation Policy Review was signed off by the provincial government, BCWF, GOABC and the B.C. Trappers Association, Condie says he had a three-moose-in-threeyears allocation in Region 3 on a renewable basis.

He adds there hasn’t been a set allocation number set since 2007/08 because there have been numerous adjustments.

Those adjustments, he says, are frustrating because it’s hard for guide-outfitters to plan their hunts when they don’t how many tags they are going to get.

What he does know for sure is, that since 2009, he has lost about 80 per cent of his allocation quota in Region 3 and 20 per cent in Region 5.

He notes it’s a dramatic hit for him and the other guide-outfitters in those regions, so it’s not “all champagne and caviar.”

There were other problems that happened during the 2008 season, Condie explains.

First, there was an overall allocation reduction of moose in the region.

Gathering paves path for future MLA Donna Barnett encourages ambition, volunteerism

Carole Rooney Free Press

A packed room had organizers scrambling for chairs when more than 65 seniors and others turned out to the monthly Age-Friendly Rural BC Gathering on Feb. 4.

South Cariboo AGE-FRIENDLY Initiative community co-ordinator Lea Smirfitt set the tone for the meeting at the South Cariboo Business Centre in 100 Mile House when she noted recent statistics show 48.9 per cent of the South Cariboo population is 55 years or older.

The local initiative is moving along, but is still actively looking for volunteers in specific areas of interest, such as transportation and housing, she added.

Smirfitt introduced guest speaker Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett who she credited for the great turnout.

“Donna has been a friend of seniors for many, many years and now she is one of us.

“She has been appointed as Parliamentary Secretary for Rural Development, so I think it is totally appropriate that [she be] here today because she understand seniors, and she understands rural.”

Barnett told the crowd she does not classify a senior as someone who can not longer do what they always did before. Rather, she sees a senior is someone who “did do it” – who worked hard to build communities, and who still understands the needs of others and the importance of sharing.

“When you look around this room and you see the accomplishments and the many volunteers who are in this room ... my biggest fear is, what is going to happen to our community and society when this group can no longer [work for the] better interests of the community?”

She encouraged her fellow seniors at the gathering to continue to do what they can to keep the community vibrant.

“Our young people will volunteer, but they need help. [Our seniors] can phone, they can write, they can sit

“It’s just another example of what we have been working on. It’s not one of the things you throw out there [to] let the public know that you are doing this all the time.”

FAST bytes CARIBOO STATS Cities and rural towns in the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) are holding their own.

All current area populations showed a slight increase last year, yet all had declined during the previous two years.

BC Stats estimates the 2014 population across the CRD was 63,111, a 0.4 per cent increase.

100 Mile House saw a 0.3 per cent increase to reach 1,889 in 2014.

Williams Lake grew 0.5 per cent in 2014 to 11,003, and Quesnel is up 0.1 per cent at 9,806.

Unincorporated CRD areas saw a population climb of 0.4 per cent to 40,179.

in malls with raffle tickets, and they can put pressure on [governments] ... they can do many things because they are a group of power.”

The almost 49 per cent demographic of folks 55 and older speaks loudly to that strength of voice and action, Barnett explained.

“Without a word of a lie, you are the leaders. You are very capable, you are very strong.

“Sure, we have got some physical handicaps, we can’t move as fast ... but that’s not what it is all about. It is about using the best that we have today.”

She recognized the many seniors in attendance who still work diligently for the community, such as keeping the doors open at Creekside Seniors Activity Centre to help share meals,

friendship, dancing and camaraderie with their peers.

There are some things that can be done, and others (like the world economy) that can’t be helped, Barnett said.

“I think we need to take things in a bigger perspective, on wants and on needs. We have to start to take a look at where we are going.”

The MLA explained one of her current biggest areas of concern in the community is a lack public transportation and taxi service, which must be addressed in order to keep its aging population from moving away.

“If you can’t drive in rural British Columbia, you’ve got a problem. We all know that.”

While many service groups have attempted to set up rural transporta-

tion for events, church, and other gatherings, she noted they often find a problem with not having the required – and expensive – liability insurance.

“This is one issue I can guarantee you two or three of my colleagues and myself are working on with the Minister of Transportation – to try and come up with something that helps us deal with this issue of liability.”

Barnett strongly encouraged her fellow South Cariboo seniors to put their heads together and use their strengths – including sharp minds and sheer numbers – to help find a solution to get more public transportation.

Funding sought for flow improvements

From A1

www.100milefreepress.net

the District will all contribute one-third of the project funding, at $486,667 each.

Strain says the planned upgrades will be done in two phases, but under the same budget.

Phase 1 will see a 200 mm main added from the Seventh Street fire hydrant to the Sunrise Ford dealership (at Ninth Street), and it’s hoped to be installed in

2016, he explains.

“If we’re approved and we hear by October/November, then the detailed design can be done over the winter and ready for tendering in the spring.”

Phase 2 will complete the water main loop by connecting Eighth Street to Scott Road, and replace the main running along Scott with a 200 mm pipe, which is all

slated for 2017, Strain adds.

He notes a previous quick-fix was done to obtain temporary approval by 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue for the new building addition at Sunrise Ford.

This involved adding a fire hydrant to a main on the east side of Highway 97 (paid for by the dealership), and the replacement of an existing hydrant at Ninth

Street, Strain says.

He adds the new Alpine water main may encourage more businesses to the 99 Mile area.

“Even with Sunrise Ford, they had to bear the extra cost of putting a hydrant in across the highway. So it adds costs, and sometimes it may deter business with the extra cost that they may incur.”

MINING BUDGET The province will increase the 2015 base budget of Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas by about $6 million, and establish a Major Mines Permitting Office.

The new office is to improve co-ordination of major mine permits across government and add staff to do more inspections and permit reviews.

A portion of budget will go towards making current contingency funding permanent to maintain an increase in geotechnical staff and inspections.

Resident hunters shouldn’t lose allocation hunters through guideoutfitters.

He adds the hunting community can’t live with the complexity of the allocation policy that resident hunters and guide-outfitters have been working under.

Lee says it’s time to go back to the table and negotiate fixed percentages that conform more to to the precedent of the hunting priority, with resident hunters coming before non-residents (guide-outfitters).

Most of the neighbouring jurisdictions give 10 per cent to guide-outfitters and 90 per cent to residents, he explains.

Lee says he has heard through various media sources, that if it’s going to be a fixed percentage, most folks want it to be a 90/10 split in favour of the residential hunters.

“Of course, the problem will be getting an agreement or a consensus.”

BCWF representative Philip Konrad is the Lone Butte Fish & Wildlife Association (LBF&WA) representative to the British Columbia Wildlife Federation (BCWF).

Noting he brought up the subject of the new Wildlife Allocation Policy at the recent LBF&WA’s annual general meeting and all of the hunters there already knew about the changes, he says they were opposed to what is happening.

The key issue is changing the percentage the guide-outfitters get at the demise of resident hunters’ percentage for Limited Entry Hunts

(LEH) tags, Konrad says.

As a point of clarification, he says the BCWF keeps calling guideoutfitter client foreign hunters, but there are Canadians, too.

“I don’t like exaggerations to bring the figures

up. I know a lot of guys [who use guides] and if I was in that situation, I would, too. Anyone who wants to spend the money can use a guideoutfitter.

“To benefit their causes, both sides will

say all kinds of things in exaggeration.”

Konrad says he would like to see the 2007 allocation agreement continue.

“There’s a place for guide-out-fitters; we can co-exist. We can’t be

108 Mile Ranch resident Garth Lee is a former Region 5 (Cariboo) representative for the British Columbia Wildlife Federation (BCWF), and he doesn’t like the changes in the Wildlife Allocation Policy (WAP) announced on December 2014.

Noting he has watched allocation issues and attempts to resolve problems going back to 2004, Lee says these decisions required lengthy negotiations every year.

“Outcomes weren’t predictable, decisions often lacked transparency and guides-outfitters were allowed to appeal changes to quotas often meant residents’ shares were decreased disproportionally.”

In 2004, he says the provincial government started consultations with the three main stakeholders – the BCWF, the Guide Outfitters Association of B.C. (GOABC) and the B.C. Trappers Association – to provide fixed allocations for the resident hunters and guide-outfitters.

After negotiations and finalizing policy and procedures, the government and the stakeholders signed off on a policy in 2007, which would cover a gradual transitional period (2007-12) that would take them to a fully implemented WAP in 2012.

Lee notes there is a pecking order for the harvesting of wildlife in B.C., with conservation having the highest priority, followed by First Nations, resident hunters and finally non-residents

Student achievements, Health challenges examined & Fitness

School District #27 (SD27) trustees recently approved the 2014/15 S u p e r i n t e n d e n t ’s Report on Student Achievement.

The annual report is mandated by the Ministry of Education to ensure transparency and accountability in each school district and to provide evidenced data for planning continued improvements in student achievement.

Achievement advances Among some of the more noteworthy changes identified in the report, SD27 superintendent Mark Thiessen highlights positive trends, including significant improvements to First Time Grade 12 Graduation Rates (FTGR).

For all students, the FTGR increased to 78 per cent (2012/13) from 59 per cent (2009/10).

The First Nations FTGR jumped to 68 per cent from 37 per cent during these same periods. The eligible Grade 12 graduation rate for First Nations students also showed a big upswing to 92 per cent from 78 per cent.

“We continue to have evidence that all students, including First Nations students, who are successful in reaching Grade 12, have a very high graduation rate.”

He notes students

who stay in school to reach Grade 11 also have a better chance of staying the course through Grade 12.

“We’ve seen improvement from Grade 11 to Grade 12 from 70 to 81 per cent, and our First Nations rate has gone from 59 to 66 per cent.”

Improved results for all students and aboriginal students are evidenced in reading, writing and numeracy Foundation Skills Assessments and in provincial transition and graduation rates, Thiessen explains.

Children’s challenges Areas of concern to the superintendent include a significant number of vulnerable students attending kindergarten at local schools.

Thiessen explains these young children are assessed through the Early Development Index (EDI) so SD27 can determine at the start of their school years if they are vulnerable – and it is finding these challenges more and more frequently.

The achievement gap

between First Nations and non-First Nations students is shrinking, but remains a concern, he says, adding six-year completion rates (particularly for First Nations) are still “far too low.”

This is evidenced by the EDI results showing increased vulnerable kindergarten students in one or more domains at 35 per cent (from 33 per cent), Thiessen notes.

He says to help address this problem, SD27 will continue to partner with the community and other organizations, such as in preschool programs like StrongStart, and will also keep working with parents and caregivers to prepare young children for starting school.

The report also includes analyses of student literacy, wellness, skills, activities, programs, initiatives, current inquiries, education targets and other details.

It will be submitted to the ministry by Jan. 31, and is posted online at www.sd27.bc.ca/ reports-publications.

Grants approved for good works

Carole Rooney Free Press

Cariboo Regional District (CRD) and District of 100 Mile House elected officials recently approved numerous Joint Grants for Assistance.

After reviewing the recommendations of the South Cariboo Joint Committee, some $87,600 in grants will give financial boosts to South Cariboo charities.

The largest recipient this year is the Mt. Timothy Ski Society, which will receive $8,000.

CRD chair Al Richmond says this funding is based on usage percentages for the local ski hill and covers just a portion of some equipment replacement costs (it applied for $28,000).

Noting the society had presented the CRD with the ratio of users from the South Cariboo, he says this grant is being proportionally allocated along

with a Central Cariboo grant.

The Peter Skene Ogden Dry Grad Committee will receive up to $4,000 to cover the costs of the rental of the South Cariboo Rec. Centre arena at graduation time.

“We provide grants to offset the costs of it because it’s considered to be a community event.”

Another $4,000 will go to help support the South Cariboo Community Planning Council. Richmond says this group provides useful community services information and assistance, but has had struggles obtaining operational funding.

The 100 Mile Community Policing group is a regular recipient of these annual grants and will get $3,000 this year, he adds. Richmond notes its members are the “eyes of the community” and assist with crime prevention by

getting the information to the RCMP. “They help make our community safer, so we usually help them with capital need so they have radios [and equipment] to keep them safe when they are out there.”

The Hot July Nights Car & Bike Show will be granted $3,000 as a key and well-attended community event that “brings in lots of folks” to the community, he says.

Richmond adds that a $25,000 contribution is once again going into the South Cariboo Community E n h an c e m e nt Foundation coffers to gain interest income toward funding future grants to hopefully lessen impacts on taxpayers.

All of these major grant funds are being evenly split between the four CRD areas – G, H, L and 100 Mile.

One of the approved grants specific to Area G (where he is CRD

Financial Focus Tips for saving money for retirement You’ve probably heard it all by now. Stop going out, stop splurging at the mall and stop buying things you don’t need. But sometimes, this kind of advice (a.k.a. nagging) is exactly what we need to save our money.

Here are 10 tips on how to save money in the new year.

Take The $100 Challenge Start saving your bills now (yes, right at this very moment) and once you have $100, go to the bank and ask for a $100 bill. Take this bill and tuck it deep into the back of your wallet. What’s the point of this? Once you walk around with this bill, you’re probably less likely to blow it on something. A lot of stores won’t accept your bill for coffee or lunch anyways — you’re welcome in advance.

Eat The Sales Try shopping and stocking up on sale items at grocery stores. Most things go on sale at some point, and there are plenty of ways to track sales and coupons at specific locations for stores you frequent. And folks, once again, we mean sales, not items that are past their expiration dates.

Eat Out Less. For Real If you add it up, those dinners are costing you a fortune. Challenge yourself to eat out twice a week. Then lower it down to once. When you start noticing how much money you have in your

pockets, you’re more likely to eat out only on special occasions.

Bring Your Own Lunch All you need is 10 minutes.

Simply cooking a little extra the night before (because people who like to save also cook their dinners) or waking up a little earlier to make a sandwich will help you save tons of money during the week.

Write Everything Down If you’ve packed your bags and are ready take a guilt trip, write down everything that you spend your money on. We mean EVERYTHING. Looking back at a long list of pointless items might make you feel a little empty inside/encourage you to stop spending that much money.

Stop Spending $5 Bills

Make it a personal rule to never spend one type of currency. We suggest $5.

Instead stash them away in a jar or drawer and watch your stash grow and grow.

Put The Plastic Away For your day to day spending, revert to cash while leaving your debit and credit cards at home. It may be annoying to plan ahead, but make it a rule to visit a teller at the beginning of the week. Statistics show people spend 30 per cent less if they pay with cash.

Budget The Children If you give your children an allowance, put them on a budget. Instead of rewarding them with money for chores or getting good grades, give them extra TV time or an Internet hour instead.

Do Things Yourself You may pay some neighbourhood kids to shovel the snow for you, but if you can, try doing it yourself. Actually, get the whole family involved for outdoor chores, like mowing the lawn and cleaning the pool. You can use that extra money for a family night out!

Make Your Own Cleaning Products You don’t have to spend a load to do a load of laundry.

You can make everything yourself, from your own laundry detergent to an allpurpose cleaner, simply by looking online. This site has some great suggestions.

Habitat loss is a concern

From A1

For Region 5 between 2009 and 2011 and up to full implementation of the harvest policy in 2012, he explains guide-outfitters lost a substantial percentage of their quotas.

Condie says he believes the allocation loss is about 30 per cent across the region when compared to pre-2008 numbers.

On top of that, there was a recession, which drastically reduced the number of clientele, so it has been a difficult few years for guide-outfitters overall.

“At the end of the day on my investment, I’m still taking a dramatic hit and there’s no other mitigating circumstances that are going to cause the government to either compensate me or change that policy.”

However, Condie says he believes the Dec. 14 announcement will have “very minimal impact” on resident hunters.

He notes grizzly and goat tags were under-utilized by resident hunters anyway because they are inaccessible and there were low success rates.

As a resident hunter, Condie says he would like to see something done with the Limited Entry Hunting (LEH) draw procedure, such as having a point system,

which would give resident hunters who have been entering the draws for years without success some priority over someone who is entering for the first time.

Habitat loss and the unregulated hunting are also of concern, he adds.

Regarding the squabble over the December 2014 Wildlife Allocation Policy announcement, Condie says he has had enough of it.

“I’m embarrassed as a resident hunter and guide-outfitter to be associated with either camp in this discussion given some of the ridiculous rhetoric and inaccurate information being disseminated by both parties.”

Mental health services Researcher Kimberly Vance-Lundsbye will present highlights of the Central and South Cariboo Mental Health Services Gaps Analysis Report from noon to 1 p.m.

Service providers and any interested residents are welcome to turn out to hear about and discuss her findings and recommendations.

Forest industry makes resurrection

E

ntering 2015, British Columbia and Canada are facing some economic challenges.

While much of the debate and discussion has revolved around the price of oil and gas, it’s fair to say jobs and economic opportunity still exists in the forest products industry.

During years of upheaval, the forest sector seemed to fade into the background as oil and other resource industries drew the attention of the nation and the world.

But over the past decade, the forest industry has been quietly working in the background, doing the heavy lifting to develop world-leading practices, invest in research and diversify global markets and become a more modern and innovative sector.

So at the dawn of 2015, an often over-looked resource industry finds itself on the rise.

Years of hard work by

GUEST SHOT

hen the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in favour of the complainant in the Carter versus Canada court case on Feb. 6, it changed the face of Canadian democracy.

The Supreme Court justices unanimously struck down the federal government’s ban on providing a doctor-assisted death for mentally competent, but suffering and “irremediable” patients.

The Supreme Court justices ruled the federal government cannot use its criminal law process to restrict a patient’s choice to have doctor-assisted death.

They also noted Parliament and provincial legislatures may, if they choose to, enact legislation to regulate doctor-assisted death, as long as they respect the Charter rights of Canadians wanting to access the physician service.

It’s important to note the justices didn’t impose a requirement for senior governments to pass legislation, but rather suspended the effect of the federal government’s law for 12 months.

There has been a lot of reaction to the ruling.

Those who have, or have had, family members suffering from irremediable disease rejoiced at the ability of loved ones to have the choice to end the pain and suffering so they can die with dignity.

Pro-life groups – including religious leaders – voiced their disapproval of the decision.

Even prior to the decision, they warned doctor-assisted death ran counter to the physicians’ Hippocratic Oath of not administering a lethal drug to someone who asked for it, or suggesting it.

Other groups noted the most vulnerable in our society have lost the protection of the Criminal Code of Canada. They are concerned the ruling encourages the disabled, infirm and those suffering through dementia to consider “euthanasia.”

However, the Supreme Court noted that legislation with properly designed and administered safeguards would protect vulnerable people from abuse and error.

Undoubtedly, this is a hot potato for the federal Conservative government and one Prime Minister Stephen Harper doesn’t want to become an election issue this year.

It’s likely none of the political parties would want the ruling to become an election issue because it will not only cause a rift in each of the parties, it’s also likely Canadians will be split on the pros and cons.

This ruling will likely be a topic of conversation in the homes of the Baby Boomer generation across the country.

The boomers should be having conversations with their aging parents about their ongoing care and now they have to talk about end-of-life options.

During these conversations, the boomers will likely have this newest option in the back of their minds, as they consider their wishes as they grow older.

Opinion

Canadians being kept in the dark To the editor: It is disappointing the recent “consultation” with International Trade Minister Ed Fast in Kamloops was not public and that it seemed to be open to only a select few from the business community.

The Canada-EU trade deal has been under negotiation for five years, and Conservatives have kept Canadians in the dark. Throughout negotiations, only a select group of associations were consulted by Conservatives – the vast majority of

Canadians were completely shut out.

Since the draft text of the agreement was released in the fall, the NDP has been consulting widely, reaching out to industry associations, trade unions, First Nations, environmental organizations, academics, civil society groups and others.

New Democrats will make a decision on the deal after the implications for Canadian society and the economy are clear.

We are a trading country and

it is very important Canada has solid economic relations with the European Union – democratic countries with some of the highest environmental and labour standards in the world.

But Mr. Fast is promoting a deal that the public knows little about, and closing the door on people who want to learn more.

The questions Canadians are now asking is whether Conservatives negotiated a good deal for Canada?

New Democrats have expressed

Control gas emissions

To the editor: I’d like to comment on the Guest Shot, headlined U.S.-China agreement lead the way, on Page A8 of the Jan. 29 edition of the Free Press.

The United States and China have recently announced targets to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. While this is a step in the right direction, even if the targets are achieved, those countries would still be emitting huge amounts of GHG. According to the agreement, China could be increasing its already massive emissions every year for the next 15 years, at which point, hopefully, they will stop increasing. They say they are doing something, while not really doing anything to reduce emissions substantially.

In a previous Guest Shot in the Jan. 15 edition, headlined A carbon price for Canada?, the author writes that in B.C., where we’ve had a carbon tax since 2008, per capita GHG emissions has declined 9.9 per cent.

But what about total GHG emissions?

Have they gone up? Probably.

There are more people and more cars in B.C. now than in 2008. The new Port Mann Bridge allows a lot more traffic.

It irks me that we are being tricked into thinking something is actually being done to reduce GHG emissions. If anything, I’d say overall GHG emissions are rising.

We are very fortunate in B.C. to have BC Hydro, which is 95 per cent renewable, clean hydro power. Especially if one day we do decide to stop using fossil fuels.

The value of our B.C. public power utility is obviously staggering beyond belief.

So it is completely baffling why our current B.C. Liberal government is so intent on destroying it.

BC Hydro is now partly privatized to a foreign multi-national corporation. It is being sunk deep in debt. It owes over $50 billion in expensive – questionable private power contracts.

Hugh Thomas 100 Mile House

concerns about the deal that includes Investor State Dispute Settlement provisions, something parliaments in several European countries oppose, which could now delay, derail or force a re-write of this deal.

Several European countries agree with New Democrats that Canada and Europe have fair, impartial judicial systems that are perfectly adequate to protect investors.

It is a shame that our local Conservative MP [Cathy McLeod]

and the trade minister decided to shut the public out of the “consultation.” When it comes to trade deals, details matter.

The minister’s visit seems more a staged photo-op, rather than genuine and open public consultation.

Secrecy has become the new norm with the [Prime Minister Stephen] Harper Conservatives – an affront to democracy.

Bill Sundhu, NDP candidate Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo

Reader against changes

To the editor: I am writing in regards to the recent decision by the B.C. Liberal government to increase the allocation of wildlife to the Guide Outfitters of British Columbia.

I have been applying for Limited Entry Draws for over 35 years. I have received only one moose draw in all that time.

Now, the odds will be increased against all resident hunters of B.C. and even more so as the guides will receive a greater amount of the available licences.

There are thousands of resident hunters in B.C. and they spend a lot of money on everything that goes along with our hunting season.

The gas stations, motels,

retail outlets, restaurants and the government all benefit from resident hunters more so than any foreign hunters who come and leave their money with the guide-outfitters.

I understood there was an agreement between our government, B.C. Wildlife Federation and the Guide Outfitter of B.C. on how the resource was to be allocated.

This most recent decision came as a shock to me and just about everyone else I have talked to as it increased the amount given to the guides and takes away from all of us who live here. We should have at least 90 per cent of the harvestable animals available to resident hunters.

You would think that if the government is going to

increase the number of animals taken by the guides, it would manage the wildlife better, so as to increase the population of harvestable species.

Seen a moose around here lately?

Our premier pops her head out every six months or so to check on things, although I have not heard her on this issue, or really any other issue.

I think we should complain directly to her about this.

I did see her on the news telling laid-off oil workers to come home.

Now, there is no work and they probably can’t hunt here either.

Then come a career path, through undergraduate heavy duty mechanics and electricians, but studies to professions.

BC VIEWS

remier Christy Clark’s push to “re-engineer” the British Columbia education system is moving ahead aggressively in B.C.’s 25 post-secondary institutions.

One of the first tasks for Andrew Wilkinson in his new role as advanced education minister was to outline the shift in operating grants for colleges and universities to in-demand occupations. By 2017, onequarter of the money for post-secondary institutions will be directed to areas where labour force surveys forecast a need.

This was greeted with some alarm when it was announced last year. Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter at first downplayed the coming skills shortage as “relatively small” and warned against pushing post-secondary institutions into a “zero sum battle for dollars.”

Petter has since come on board, as his approving comments were featured in the ministry’s Jan. 26 news release detailing the shift. He and others have been assured that in spite of Clark’s rhetoric, suggesting trades training is in and university is out, the news for SFU and other universities

“So I think the idea that we’re going to somehow minimize or diminish funding in that general education, arts and science category is just not true.”

Key to this shift is measuring the performance of courses offered at colleges, universities and technical schools. Each year, the ministry surveys about 30,000 graduates to find out whether their studies helped them find a related job.

The results are available on a website that breaks them out by institution and general study area. To find it, do a web search for “BC student outcomes” and select the “executive dashboard” to check the results for courses and schools in your region.

The site provides charts showing the percentage of students who land relevant jobs. Not surprisingly, it tends to be higher for technical programs and lower for fine arts.

It also shows grads’ average wages, a sobering but useful bit of information for high school students and their parents.

the province Intoxicated men climb Nelson's big orange bridge NELSON - A pair of men decided to climb Nelson’s big orange bridge early Sunday morning (Feb. 8).

At about 2 a.m., Nelson police were patrolling along Highway 3A, close to the bridge when a pedestrian flagged them down and told officers that two men had climbed to the top of the bridge structure.

Police located the duo perched atop the bridge structure and advised them that Nelson Fire Department would be attending the scene to extract them from the bridge safely.

The men, both later discovered to be under the influence of alcohol, ignored police direction and climbed down before the fire department arrived.

Both were arrested upon arriving on the bridge deck. One man, a 26-year-old resident of Nelson, was arrested for public intoxication, the other, a 22-year-old resident of New Zealand, was released without charge.

Both men face a possible charge of mischief and/ or a charge under the Trespass Act. More layoffs at Mount Polley Mine WILLIAMS LAKE - Layoffs of trades people at Mount Polley Mine began Friday said United Steelworkers Union Local 1425 president Paul French.

"We haven't got a number but they are happening," French told the Williams Lake Tribune.

"They are laying off trades that would normally work in the mill. But they are keeping people on for the clean-up and rebuilding of the site from the breach."

The union had anticipated the layoffs and was informed Thursday they would be happening, French said.

On Aug. 4, 2014, the tailings impoundment facility breached, spilling 25 million cubic metres of water and tailings into nearby Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek and Quesnel Lake.

RCMP responded to variety of calls

Police

report 100 Mile House RCMP responded to 56 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Below are highlights of the week’s calls.

Failure to slow down On Feb. 8, CaribooChilcotin Traffic Services (CCTS) observed a vehicle whose driver had failed to slow down when required for an official vehicle on Highway 97 at the 90 Mile Loop Road.

The driver of the Chevrolet Cobalt was stopped a short distance away. The female driver displayed symptoms of having consumed liquor.

An approved screening device was administered roadside and the result was a “fail,” as was the second test. The driver was issued a 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibition (IRP) and her vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days. She was also issued a violation ticket for having open liquor in the vehicle and for failing to slow down for an official vehicle.

3 ON 3 SPECIAL

Minor injuries On Feb. 8, 100 Mile RCMP members were called to a possible incident involving a knife at a residence on the Tatton-Helena Lake Forest Service Road.

The police service

dog handler was called from Williams Lake to assist with the investigation. Upon arrival at the property, it was confirmed that a female had received minor injuries to her hand as a result of an altercation, but a knife was confirmed to not have been used.

The other party had already departed the property, and the female declined medical attention. 100 Mile RCMP is continuing its investigation into this incident and no charges have been laid at this time.

Failed tests On Feb. 7, CCTS and 100 Mile RCMP members responded to a report of a possible impaired driver coming south towards Lac la Hache on Highway 97.

The suspect vehicle, an older Dodge pick-up truck, was intercepted near Emerald Crescent and Highway 97.

The driver displayed symptoms of having consumed liquor.

An approved screening device was administered at the scene and the result was a “fail” as was the second attempt.

The driver was issued a 90-day IRP and his vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days.

Slippery MVI Around 8 a.m. on Feb. 6, 100 Mile RCMP received a report of a vehicle pulling a horse trailer had slid off Houseman Road,

but neither the driver nor the horses were injured.

The vehicle was towed from the ditch and the trailer was re-set. Road conditions appeared to have been a contributing factor to this incident.

ATV runaway On Feb. 6, police observed an all-terrain

vehicle (ATV) being operated on CanimHendrix Lake Road in Forest Grove, contrary to the licensing restrictions.

When police tried to speak with the operator, he drove away westbound at a high rate of speed. A traffic checkstop was going on at the same time farther to the

CELINE DION, IVF AND PROPERTY LAW

The name “Celine Dion” will be familiar to many Canadians as a Québec-born singer who has enjoyed international success. According to news reports, many years ago, her husband was threatened by cancer and, fearing the consequences of chemotherapy and radiation, the couple chose to have some of his sperm frozen so that they could have more children if the medical treatments affected Mr. Angélil’s fertility. These same news reports indicate that Ms. Dion now has young twins born through in vitro fertilization (“IVF”).

Having read the first paragraph of this article, you may now be wondering what all of this has to do with property law. First of all, you must see the word “property” through a lawyer’s eyes. For an English-Canadian lawyer there are two kinds of property: “real” property and “personal” property. “Real property” is land. “Personal property” is everything else.

Your car is personal property. Your bed is personal property. Your bank account is a form of personal property.

We then come to the question which may have become obvious as you read the foregoing: is human sperm personal property? Can there be any doubt? If there was any doubt, it has apparently been resolved by the recent case of Lam v. University of British Columbia [2015 BCCA 2].

In the Lam case, Mr. Lam was one of the plaintiffs in a class action brought against the University of BC. All of the plaintiffs had cancer and before undertaking radiation treatment had stored their frozen sperm in an ultracold freezer owned by the University. Unfortunately, there was a power interruption and, as a result, the stored sperm was damaged or destroyed.

In trying to decide whether a claim might successfully be brought against the University, it was necessary for the courts to decide whether human sperm is “property” for purposes of the Warehouse Receipt Act of British Columbia. In the course of its analysis, the court commented on the fact that “historically, there was no property interest in the human body, dead or alive.” There are, of course, exceptions. In the Lam case, it was decided that, at least in the particular circumstances of that case, human sperm can be considered to be property.

Airsoft pistol reminder From A11

of Canim-Hendrix Lake Road the following day.

The male was positively identified from the video surveillance.

He was arrested for flight from police and driving while prohibited, and was released from custody with an April 14 court date.

Roadside prohibition Shortly after midnight on Feb. 5, 100 Mile RCMP members were called to a motor vehicle incident on Easzee Drive in the 108 Mile Ranch.

When police attended, the driver was found attempting to drive the vehicle out of the ditch. The male driver displayed symptoms of

having consumed liquor.

An approved screening device was administered at the scene and the result was a “fail,” as was the second test.

The 20-year-old 100 Mile House man was issued a 90-day IRP. His vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days.

Airsoft pistol sighting At 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 4, 100 Mile House RCMP received a report of two vehicles parked in the parking lot of the Parkside Art Gallery.

One of the vehicle occupants appeared to be in possession of what appeared to be an Airsoft pistol. Both vehicles left the scene before police arrived, and although area patrols were made,

neither vehicle was located.

People, who own Airsoft guns, are reminded that, if those items are used improperly, charges under the Criminal Code relating to imitation firearms can be pursued.

Anyone having further information about this incident is asked to call the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-395-2456.

Service pins presented to firefighters DEKA DISTRICT

this opportunity should e-mail Debi Young at fishcan@telus.net before Feb. 28.

Celebrations We wish happy birthday to Susan Grahn today (Feb. 12).

Diana Forster 250 593-2155

At the Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department’s Jan. 27 practice, Cariboo Regional District Area L Director Brian Coakley formally presented long-service pins.

Mario Huebel received his 10-year pin, while Jim Watson was recognized for 20 years of service.

Baby girl Many congratulations go to Michelle and Kyle Turley who were thrilled to welcome their daughter, Kira, into the world on Dec. 11.

Kira weighed 7 pounds 11ounces when she arrived, and the family is doing well.

Sad passing Interlakers lost another dear friend when Lorraine LeBourdais passed away Jan. 21 at the age of 58, and she will be sadly missed.

Deepest sympathy is extended to Rob and their family.

A scholarship fund is available at the Williams Lake & District Credit Union in 100 Mile House for those who wish to make a donation in Lorraine’s memory.

A celebration of life

100 Mile House squeezes into tight KIJHL playoff picture

Gaven Crites Free Press

Gaven Crites photo

100 Mile House Wranglers goalie Kristian Stead made 28 saves in a 5-0 shutout victory, keeping the Revelstoke Grizzlies at bay in the Doug Birks Division 2014-15 playoff race, at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Feb. 9.

The Wranglers wrap up the season in Chase, Feb. 13, and Kamloops, Feb. 15.

Playoffs apparently already started a couple of weeks ago – in the minds of the 100 Mile House Wranglers.

The local Kootenay International Junior Hockey League club are winners of its last three games, five of its last six, and winners of an imaginary best-of-seven round that started in late January against whichever team was on the schedule next.

It seems that sort of mindset is a good prescription for getting the job done late in the season, as the Wranglers have clinched the fourth seed, at the very least, in the Doug Birks Division.

“What we tried to do is visualize the playoffs early, and how we'd act,” coach Dale Hladun explains. “So now that we won that [early 'playoff ' series] in our mind, the next step is we want to be in second place. The boys are

purely focusing on [theChase Heat].”

Back-to-back shutouts by goalies Quinn Ferris and Kristian Stead, and a hat trick by captain Devan Suidy, helped propel the club in its last three games, where a ticket to the 2014-15 post season was officially punched.

Dale Hladun

The Wranglers beat the Revelstoke Grizzlies, 5-0, at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre in front of 621 local fans on Feb. 9.

The Wranglers hammered the North Okanagan Knights on the road, 4-0, on Feb. 8.

While, in front of 690 local fans in announced attendance, the Wranglers whipped Chase, 5-1, on Feb. 7.

Hladun says all the boys, “as a five-man unit”, have been outstanding lately.

“I'm excited about the team play,” he adds. “What makes me proudest is listening to how the guys speak in the dressing room...

Right now, the kids are coaching themselves.

I'm [only] changing lines now. I'm happy with the total group, right from top to bottom.”

Two road games remain – both against fellow Doug Birks Division playoff-clinchers – on the regular season schedule: Chase Heat on Feb. 13, and Kamloops Storm, Feb. 15.

The playoff picture in the Doug Birks Division is a tight one.

The seeding in the division might not be firmly established until after the last game of the regular season.

Kamloops, with 66 points, has clinched the Continued on A21

Forman playing last Junior A season

The name of the small town in northeast Saskatchewan where Reece Forman is playing his final junior hockey season is said to come from a Cree word describing a place to wait, and rest.

There is little of that these days, however, for the big 108 Mile Ranch defenceman, in the midst of a second season with the Nipawin Hawks of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.

The club is 29-14-2, with seven games left, and playoffs around the corner in March. They're coming off three games in three nights, Feb. 6-8.

Forman is logging a lot of minutes on the ice, and the team's head coach,

Doug Johnson, keeps the boys very from life in the Cariboo, aside from busy off of it. The players volun- the flat roads and the sunsets. He just teer much of their spare time saw the northern lights for engaging with the commuthe first time. The Hawks are nity, and just like in 100 Mile primed for the playoffs.

Infection unfortuLife in Saskatchewan is busy and a nately set in the small wound, and lot of fun, he says. It's not so different Forman's arm was swollen from wrist

to shoulder. He can laugh about it now, but, having missed about four games, it was painful and frustrating at the time.

“My elbow kind of looked like my knee. It was kind of gnarly-looking.”

Another blow came when Brett Harris – the local talent currently leading the 100 Mile House Wranglers in scoring, who had played with Forman on the Hawks in 2013-14 – had left Nipawin at the beginning of the season.

Forman: best friend leaving team was tough From A19

Keri Donnelly photo

Local cross country skiers Allie Donnelly, left, Emma Law and Emma Donnelly, brought some good competition to a BC Teck Cup race in Revelstoke, Jan. 24-25.

Nordics racing hard The warm and rainy conditions made the ski conditions very challenging at a cross country ski event in Revelstoke on Jan. 24-25.

But, despite the challenges, a great time was had by all the 100 Mile Nordics Ski Club members that took part, says coach and parent Sandy Law. Seven local skiers descended on the Mt. Macpherson trail system for the second race in the 2014-15 BC Cup series. The two-day event saw races for athletes of all ages.

Allie Donnelly, 7, finished fifth in the atom division's interval start

classic 1-kilometre race, with a time of 8:08.

She was also third in the atom division mass start 1-km skate race, with 6:49.

Emma Donnelly, 10, finished fourth in the peewee division's interval start, 1-km classic race, with a time of 5:37.

She was fourth in the mass start, 1-km skate race, with a time of 4:47.

Emma Law, 10, finished 16th in the interval start, 2.5-km bantam division classic race, with a time of 13:00. Law was also 17th in the mass start, 2.5-km skate race, with a time of 10:47. This was the Donnelly girls' first BC Cup, and Emma

Law's first time skiing the 2.5-km distance in a BC Cup event.

“These little racers skied really hard and had a great time,” says coach Law. “They're definitely bringing some competition to these big races.”

100 Mile Nordics Club members will be attending the Teck BC Championships in Kelowna, Feb 19-22.

for Harris, whose crafty and consistent play has made him a fan-favourite in 100 Mile, it was a somewhat difficult transition at the time.

And it wasn't easy on Forman, either.

“It was really tough for me,” explains Forman on the phone from Saskatchewan.

“I'm looking at his empty bed right now. Having your best friend leave

the team, it's tough. But I'm glad he's doing well [in 100 Mile], and I'm glad to see he's putting up points. Playing in your hometown is kind of cool. I'm happy for him. But it was tough for a while.”

In the future, Forman wants to join the RCMP. It's a big goal of his, he says. He adds if he can, after this season continue playing hockey for a post secondary school, that's a goal as well.

Great Gift Ideas From

Exclusively At Your

Comox Valley.

While he grew up in a family of artists and has always been passionate about art, he’s only really started painting again in earnest the past three years.

What inspired him to work in the scientific field is the same thing that inspires his art – nature. Youds cares about the environment and painting helps give it meaning.

“I like to paint about relationships in nature and reflect upon how these are powerful metaphors for the human life experience,” Youds says in his artist statement. “I have particularly been focusing on exploring interconnectedness in the natural world.”

Youds spoke in depth about some of his acrylic paintings before hanging them at the local gallery on Feb. 6, ahead of a reception

and artist’s talk he gave that evening. There’s a lot to each piece.

The places are real and each one has a story. Youds says that while he’s painting, he’s also exploring its subject and learning more about it at the same time.

“I’m out there and watching for things that appear intriguing. The initial idea always morphs; it changes as I work through it.”

He adds it’s been interesting to share his work with people and get feedback and he hopes visitors get something out of his show.

“Even if only one individual painting moves them, it had some value and some worth.”

Parkside Art Gallery, located at 401 Cedar Ave., is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 4 p.m.

Ask an Expert: What are the potentially harmful effects of mold in your home ?

The presence of mold in a home is a sight few homeowners want to see. In addition to being unsightly, mold found in a home can be unhealthy.

While certain cleaners may prove effective at removing mold, homeowners who want to remove existing mold growths and prevent future growths may benefit from gaining a greater understanding of mold and why it grows inside homes.

What is mold?

Mold is a blanket term used to describe fungi that can be found both indoors and outdoors.

Many species of mold exist, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that some estimates suggest there may be more than three hundred thousand different species of mold. Common indoor molds include cladosporium, penicillium, alternaria, and aspergillus.

Which conditions promote mold growth?

Homeowners may notice that mold tends to grow in specific areas of their homes but not in others, and that’s because molds grow best in certain conditions. Warm, damp and humid conditions, such as those found in poorly ventilated bathrooms and basements, make ideal breeding grounds for mold.

What are the effects of mold exposure?

Molds are a natural and resilient part of the environment, but mold growth indoors should be addressed and avoided. Mold spores are tiny and invisible to the naked eye, and when these spores attach to wet surfaces, they begin to grow. Once these spores begin to grow, they can then affect people in various ways. Roughly a decade ago, the Institute of Medicine found sufficient evidence to support a link between exposure to indoor mold and respiratory tract issues, such as coughing and wheezing in people who were otherwise healthy.

How can exposure to mold be decreased at home?

Adequate ventilation is arguably homeowners’ best friend with regard to reducing mold exposure at home. Control humidity levels in areas of the home that tend to be warm and humid, such as the kitchen and bathroom. Install an exhaust fan in the kitchen and bathroom and a window in the bathroom if yours does not already have one.

Mold that grows inside a home is unsightly and potentially unhealthy. But concerned homeowners can take several reactive and proactive steps to reduce existing mold growths and prevent them from returning in the future.

Always some fun going on at EAMS Eliza Archie School

Dixie Lane Boyce

By Dixie Boyce Last November and December, Eliza Archie Memorial School (EAMS) students undertook a lot of fun events.

There were many physical activities, a Christmas concert, and crafts with the Elders. They were

all enjoyable.

Since September, EAMS students have been participating in Action Schools. In November, we used the video 6 Fit Kids Workout.

It’s a fitness and dance kind of workout. We trained for 15 minutes every morning to wake up our brains and get ready for class.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, our fitness co-ordinator Patricia Diamond comes to the school and takes us up to the gym for games and fitness.

At lunch, the students go skiing and snowshoeing around the

soccer fields.

Dec. 18 was our school concert. We started to prepare for the concert a couple of weeks before. The students and the kyé7es Toni Sellars and Elsie Archie started the day off with a prayer to thank the creator for what we have.

Then the students sang four songs in Shuswap – Silent Night, O Come All Ye Faithful, Jingle Bells and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.

Anne Kolodziej’s kindergarten/Grade 1s performed an entertaining country line dance.

Pam Bailey’s grades

5/7class sang Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, with solos sung by Taylor Daniels, Anastasia Boyce, Laney Bob and Dixie Boyce.

They also presented “Christmas Around The World.” Marcella McGrath’s grades 2/4 class performed a Canadian version of Jingle Bells that was really unique.

During December, while we were getting ready for the concert, the Elders invited us to lunch and crafts.

For our craft, we painted jars with a winter theme and filled them with candy. Then the school sold our

crafts in the craft fair for fundraising for our year end trip.

We also made Christmas ornaments out of modelling clay and painted in them in the most beautiful manner for our tree.

These last two months were pleasant.

However I can’t wait for even more exciting events, such as tubing and a trip Sun Peaks.

Going to school is sometimes challenging, but there is always a little excitement to keep things moving in a fun way.

Range tenure holders have more flexibility

Changes made to the Range Act and Range Act regulation to improve the management of British Columbia’s rangeland went into force Dec. 1.

The regulatory changes reflect a commitment made in the BC Jobs Plan and a recommendation of the Ranching Task Force to improve the regulatory framework for range tenure holders, says Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) Minister Steve Thomson.

“These changes provide ranchers and rangeland users with increased flexibility and opportunity to run their businesses, while also supporting the government’s goal of environmental sustainability.”

Enjoy 15th Annual 100 Mile House Cowboy Concert From A25

Tom, all six-foot-six of him, will have you in awe with his amazing deep baritone voice, and when Brian takes the mic you might wish you had a Kleenex to wipe away the tears of laughter.

The local duo, Leslie Ross and Jason Ruscheinsky, have been enjoyed in many different venues lately.

Leslie’s guitar picking and Jason’s natural entertaining ability add to their wonderful voices and song choices.

All proceeds go towards the BC Cowboy Heritage Society scholarships and the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Tickets are available at Work n Play, The Log House, 100 Mile Feed and PMT Chartered Accountants, or if you’re from out of town, phone 1-888-763-2221.

Range Act regulation changes • Streamline the process for approving agreements (permits and licences), so vacant Crown range can be allocated more quickly and efficiently.

• Simplify the fee structure and eliminate some fees.

• Improve business certainty for range operators by allowing longer terms on tenures, and also allow the conversion of grazing permits issued prior to 2004 to grazing licences.

• Enable the conversion of grazing leases to grazing licences, providing tenure holders more flexibility to manage their businesses.

The changes to the Range Act regulation will also give licence holders and other agreement holders more freedom to manage their operations by removing the requirement for operators to obtain ministry approval before selling their excess hay production.

The changes will also allow a holder of multiple tenures to more easily consolidate or subdivide those tenures.

Ranching operations are typically family-run businesses that have been in operation for several generations and are the backbone of many rural communities.

Association is pleased to see the amendments to the Range Act and the Range Act regulation come into force, says Lary Fossum, B.C. Cattlemen’s Association president.

These changes will simplify the administrative process for producers and the ministry, he adds.

“It will allow ranchers to do better long-term planning while giving

them the confidence and security to invest in the industry and the land, so we can continue producing some of the best beef in the world.”

Scott Ellis, executive

director of the Guide Outfitters Association of B.C. says the province’s guide outfitting industry welcomes the changes to the Range Act and the Range Act regulation.

Obituaries RICHARD Lucien Joseph Dowa “Joe”

Felker, Annie irene May 28, 1921 – February 2, 2015

Annie Felker, born in West Ham, England, passed away peacefully at the age of 93 at the Moog Hospice House in Penticton, BC after spending a wonderful Christmas with her family in Naramata. She spent her life as a cattle rancher running the Lazy R Ranch and Campsite in Lac La Hache, BC. Annie is survived by her children George (Joan) Felker of Lac La Hache, BC, Robin (Jody) Felker of Victoria, BC, Joyce (Les) Voth of Lac La Hache, BC, and Joey (Karla) Kozakevich of Naramata, BC. She was predeceased by her daughter Bonnie Felker, first husband George Felker and second husband Joseph Kozakevich.

Annie had many grandchildren, great grandchildren and recently a great great grandchild. Special thanks to Dr. Snyman, the nurses of Penticton Regional Hospital and the Moog Hospice House, and the staff and friends of The Hamlets. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Moog Hospice House or the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation. A service will take place in the spring.

FELLNER Marlin John “Jack” Jack moved to this community in 2006; he arrived with a purpose. It was his vision to reactivate the adult community band. Many of you may have met him as he approached people in the town, shook their hand and said “Hi, I’m Jack. Do you play an instrument?” And so the 100 Mile Adult Community Band began. Jack directed this band until his failing health prompted him to retire in June of 2014, at the age of 90. He loved each and every member of the band, and they became part of his extended family.

All proceeds to the many concerts performed by this band were donated to a local charity, including Fischer Place/ Mill Site Lodge, the Hospice Society and the South Cariboo Health Foundation.

Jack began his career as a Lutheran Minister, but spent the majority of his life as a teacher – band, English and Social Studies. His greatest love was music.

His family will miss his unconditional love, his wisdom, his patience, his sense of humor and his love of life. He is predeceased by his first wife, Charlotte Wrage and his second wife, Jean Hassall. He is survived by his daughters Valerie Sherman (Steve) and Deborah Smith, grandchildren Chloe Rickards, Niki Toews (Ken), Orie Tokar (Katrina) and Kam Sherman, and great-grandchildren Jazmine, Deon and Terrence.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Feb. 21, 2015 at 2 p.m. at the Valley Room, 98 Cecil Rd., 100 Mile House. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the South Cariboo Health Foundation.

100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of www.100milefuneralservice.com

Joe passed away January 21, 2015 with his family by his side, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Joe was born on June 20, 1941 in Fort Gary, Manitoba. He was the eldest of eight children born to Lucien and Lucille Richard.

Joe met the love of his life, Patricia in Winnipeg where he was a delivery driver for Burks. The couple was married November 6th, 1976. Their life together had them in many different parts of B.C.: Terrace, Campbell River, Chetwynd and finally settling down in 100 Mile House for the last 23 years.

Joe was an extremely hard worker; it brought him the most happiness. He couldn’t give it up, even during his last year. Throughout his life he held different types of jobs from driving for Burks, falling trees, owning his own logging company and doing construction.

When he wasn’t working you could find him at the mall playing KENO, where he liked to go and see “the gang.”

Joe loved being with his grandkids, being a Grandpa was his greatest joy in life. He cherished watching movies with his best friend and son-in-law Mark. Joe had many long time friends, one of those being Brad P. whose friendship over the years he valued deeply.

Joe will be sorely missed by his 6 kids: Joe Richard (Karen) Kristin and Sydney; Suzanne Bird (Nelson) Wayne Myrissah and Terry; Angela Grant (Mark) Ryan and Evan; Christie Mailhot (Brad) Shayla and Kaylee; Chris Richard and youngest daughter Aimee Richard (Clay) Dakota, Skylar, Zoey and Carter.

Siblings: Doreen (Don) Derksen, Jeanne (Gerald) Grenier, Bernice (Roy) Danielson, Henry (Helen) Richard, Brian (Linda) Richard, Donald Richard, and many nieces and nephews.

He is pre-deceased by his loving wife Patricia Richard, his parents Lucien and Lucille Richard, his brother Marcel Richard, and twin sons.

The family would like to send a special thank you out to Dr. Schoeman, RN’s Heidi and Kirstin for going that extra mile for him, helping him live his last year the way he wanted.

A private family service will be held February 21st, 2015 at 100 Mile Cemetery, followed by a Celebration of Life for Joe at 12:00 at the top part of the curling rink.

Goldrush Grannies call it a day

Grandmother to Grandmothers Campaign continues to fight AIDS

Almost nine years ago, well-known local resident Wendy Hamblin became concerned about the plight of grandmothers in all parts of Africa who were raising multiple grandchildren whose parents had died of AIDS. At that time, there was very little help for this problem, but Canadian Stephen Lewis, the United Nations’ Special Envoy to Africa, recognized the need.

Hamblin attended a conference in Toronto hosted by the Stephen Lewis Foundation for the Grandmothers

to Grandmothers Campaign.

After bringing this knowledge back to 100 Mile House, a group of local women eagerly took up the cause and the Goldrush Grannies was born.

Since then, more than $50,000 has been raised by the Grannies through community events, bake sales and 10-kilometre walks for which pledges were gathered and all proceeds went to the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

The Goldrush Grannies has the satisfaction of knowing that members have helped to supply items, such as sewing machines and agricultural tools that enable the grandmothers in Africa to earn a living.

However, the intervening eight years have

taken their toll on the already grandmotherly group and, unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer members physically able to take part in the events.

At a meeting on Jan. 22, it was decided to disband the Goldrush Grannies.

The Stephen Lewis Foundation is still working to turn the tide of AIDS, but now other agencies are involved in partnership and antiviral drugs are more readily available.

Should anyone wish to continue to donate to the cause, details can be found online at stephenlewis

foundation.org.

The Goldrush Grannies extend a heartfelt thank-you to this “wonderful” community, which has supported the cause during the last eightand-a-half years.

is a little vague and has a notchy engagement feel, but I did like the cue ball style shift leaver.

While official fuel economy numbers were not available, Jeep is expecting a combined fuel rating of about 8.1 L/100km, which would be excellent. The 4x4 versions of Renegade also feature a unique disconnecting rear axle feature that should provide fuel economy numbers that are close to the 4x2 versions.

Tek-Tonic is what Jeep designers dubbed the Renegade’s funky yet functional interior. The Wrangler theme is also evident inside and includes the requisite passenger grab handle. It’s a softer, more comfortable Jeep people place with practical features such as the fold-forward front-passenger seat and a removable, reversible and height-adjustable cargo floor panel.

Renegade is also tall folk friendly with oodles of headroom, so they could even wear a hat. A minor tall-roof drawback was noted, however, when I tried to reach for a distant sun visor above the upright windshield.

Jeep claims Renegade has up to 70 standard and available safety and security features. There are seven standard air bags, including a driver’s knee air bag. On top of that you can layer an impressive list of optional active safety features that includes Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Blind-spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection, ParkView and a Rear Backup Camera.

The all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade is in a word…how you say…Stupendo!
