A Healthy Communities Workshop taking place in 100 Mile House on Oct. 15 aims to bring members from numerous local organizations together, in order to look at what it takes to do collaborative work at a community level today. “Silos to Systems: Building Collaborative Capacity to Tackle Community Issues that Matter in the South Cariboo” is a free, allday event presented by the South Cariboo Community Planning Council (SCCPC), Interior Health, and BC Healthy Communities. It provides an opportunity for local groups to meet each other and find out what’s going on at different agencies, and explore the strengths and challenges they’re facing. “Conditions have changed in recent years,” says SCCPC executive co-ordinator Lea Smirfitt. “When the economy changes, the funding to agencies also change. When you have less funding, you stick tighter to your mandate, organizations have a more specific direction, and things that improve how we work together get less attention.” When all resources are focused on providing a service, there are no resources to look at other groups and partners to make stronger initiatives, she says, Continued on A7

Grade 5 students Ryan Scorse, left, and Devon Wisdom had a great time during 100 Mile House Elementary School’s Terry Fox Run in Centennial Park on Oct. 5. Some 350 students, 35 staff members and 15 parents participated in the 35th Annual Terry Fox Run for cancer research. The run had been scheduled for Oct. 2, but was postponed because of the inclement weather.

Orange shirts, black hearts

Carole Rooney Free Press

A large group of local students were respectfully, if uncommonly, quiet when gathered at the Orange Shirt Day event in Lumberman’s Park in 100 Mile House on Sept. 30. The emotional stories shared by Phyllis Webstad and Canim Lake Band health director Sheila Dick, the keynote speaker, had the attention of everyone who attended – some of them wiping away tears. Phyllis, whose story led to the title of the local day of recognition that has since been picked up around the world, appeared at the park shortly after a similar event held in her own community of Williams Lake.

She explained how all the little children at the residential school she attended were trying to fight for their rights, but to no avail, such as when her beloved orange shirt was taken away on her first day. “Those are our clothes. My granny bought that for me, give it back to me,” she recalled saying. “We felt like we didn’t matter; nobody cared that we were crying like that. We just cried through it all, and we were assigned our beds.” Phyllis said she learned then that her life was up to her, no one would take care of her emotional needs anymore, or for that matter, many of her basic needs. “[I had to] just learn how to survive and learn how get

through it,” she told the children present at the park. “I had to stay there for 300 sleeps. Can you imagine being there for 300 sleeps, and not being able to go home?” Sheila is an Indian Residential School Survivors Society counsellor, and a survivor herself. Her own heartfelt and sorrowful tale of being taken to residential school maintained the rapt attention of the large crowd, while she used a blank silhouette of a small child and drawings depicting a black and broken heart, and sad and happy emotions as visual demonstrations for the younger children. Sheila told them how she was torn from her family and incarcerated at the school just

before her seventh birthday. “That’s the day my whole life changed. I wasn’t always happy at home with my family, but I knew I was loved. “Life was safe, I was secure, I was warm, and I was cared for. There were warm fires and good, familiar food; our food ... I knew where I belonged.” The shock of arriving at St. Joseph’s Residential School near Williams Lake at six years old with “a lot of strange kids” in a completely alien environment was “hollow and lonely,” she said, with emotion. “My parents were gone; they had disappeared. They didn’t tell me what was happening and they didn’t come back for me. I waited. It got dark. At Continued on A5

CANADA VOTES 20 15!

Candidates answer readers’ questions

T

he four candidates hoping to win the seat for the federal Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Riding provided answers to the following questions:

Cathy McLeod

Cathy McLeod Conservative candidate 1. Since opening the first MP office in 100 Mile House, I have heard weekly what is on the minds of constituents. In addition, we have been able to help many with their issues and concerns, whether it be dealing with the Canada Revenue Agency, immigration, or foreign affairs, just to name a few. Further, I have hosted many ‘Coffee and Tea with the MP’ sessions and collaborated through roundtables on issues ranging from our justice agenda, to the Canadian economy and international trade, to mental health, and seniors issues. Every year I reach out to all constituents, and many have shared their ideas during our pre-budget consultations. I have always been pleased to see suggestions from KamloopsThompson-Cariboo in the final budget. I will continue to ensure that I consult the residents of our riding and that the Cariboo has a voice in Parliament guiding our government. 2. Our Conservative Party understands that the economy is key; that is why it has been a priority as part of our Economic Action Plan to lower taxes, create jobs and economic growth. In rural areas like 100 Mile House that has meant investing heavily in responsible resource development, supporting local industries like ranching and the forestry sector, ensuring broadband connectivity and lowering taxes for small businesses. We have directly funded forestry jobs and management projects, and the BC Cattleman’s Association. It has meant numerous tax cuts for small business, including the proposed reduction of the small business tax rate to nine per cent by 2019 – the largest such cut in over 25 years. It is why we announced that a re-elected Conservative government will aim to create a further 1.3 million new jobs by 2020 on top of the 1.3 million already created since the depths of the global recession. Continued on A4

1. Will you hold annual town-hall meetings in 100 Mile House to hear your constituents’ comments and concerns? If not, how will they learn what is on their minds?

Bill Sundhu

Bill Sundhu NDP candidate 1. Nearly 15 per cent of the riding’s population lives in the South Cariboo region. As your member of Parliament, I will establish a constituency office in 100 Mile House to serve residents. I will hold a least one annual public meeting in 100 Mile House to hear concerns and be accountable to citizens. 2. Rural residents are concerned about the loss of jobs and the worsening economy. For many, health care is the most pressing concern. An NDP government will restore funding to health care and work with the provinces to train thousands more family physicians to ensure rural residents receive proper health care in their communities. 3. Harper has engaged in misinformation and fear mongering. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has stated repeatedly and unequivocally that he will not reinstate the failed Liberal gun registry. I fully support that position. Harper’s Bill C-51 is the real threat to civil liberties and lawful gun owners.

CANADA VOTES2015

CANADA VOTES2015 CANADA VOTES2015

2. What is the single most important thing your party would do for rural Canadians? 3. Does Canada have adequate gun control?

MATT GREENWOOD

Matt Greenwood Green Party candidate 1. From the moment Elizabeth May was elected, she started working to lead by example. She regularly posted her full itemized office expenses on her website years before the Senate spending or Duffy scandals ever saw the light of day, and called on other MPs to do the same. She worked to minimize her travel budget by flying economy class if at all, not because her office would get extra money that way (it doesn’t), but just because it would save the taxpayers’ money instead. And she began holding a town-hall meeting in a different part of her riding every month, including on each of the Gulf Islands in turn. Though these common-sense practices never occurred to the Conservative MP who held the seat for 14 years prior to her election, or even to many running nationally for re-election today, I would be proud to follow her example.

STEVE POWRIE

Steve Powrie Liberal candidate

2. Rural regions need support more than ever: adapting to climate change (especially droughts), rebuilding and improving long-neglected infrastructure, emphasizing local community economic development that builds on regional strengths, ensuring food security by supporting local food markets and the continued viability of agricultural enterprises at all scales big and small, supporting aging populations and reversing the ongoing degradation of rural healthcare services, working to rebuild trust and co-operation with local First Nations, and more. Under the Harper Conservatives, not only have all these problems worsened, the demise of the longform census means that many rural communities no longer register on the statistical map for policy-makers to even consider! (See Maclean’s article “Vanishing Canada” online for much more on that.) While Greens have detailed plans to address every one of those issues,

1. Without question, 100 Mile House and the surrounding area is a significant portion of the riding and a major contributor of the regional economy. I had the privilege of attending the 60th Anniversary for West Fraser, and was absolutely in awe of how vibrant and supportive the community was of its local businesses. As an educator, my primary role is that of an advocate, whether it is at the elementary or university levels. I know the importance of a strong community and of the role of providing opportunities to express views and ideas in building a healthy dynamic. As an MP, I would continue to foster that same sense of community by building relationships with people and organizations in the Cariboo region and meeting on a regular basis. Some might wonder why we don’t have a campaign office in 100 Mile House. It was strictly due to budgetary constraints. 2. Our comprehensive plan for rural communities means investing in health, seniors’ and child care together. We will replace the current healthcare plan, with an accord negotiated in co-ordination with the provincial leaders. This will allow the individual provinces to incorporate their needs for issues like rural health care. We plan on investing $3 billion to provide additional and improved services for the nearly two million people currently receiving care at home, prioritizing the construction of new affordable housing for seniors and seniors facilities including long-term care homes through the $20-billion social infrastructure investment, and boosting access to and reducing the costs of prescription drugs for the provinces and territories by buying them in bulk.

FAST bytes BURNING ALLOWED Open burning is now allowed across the Cariboo Fire Centre. All members of the public are permitted to burn piles of woody debris, and to burn stubble or grass. Anyone who lights, fuels or makes use of an open fire must comply with the Environmental Management Act and Open Burning Smoke Control Regulation. Local venting conditions can be found at ww.bcairquality.ca/ readings/ventilationindex.html. A burn registration number is required for Category 3 open fires and can be obtained by calling 1-888-797-1717.

SCHOOL POLICY School District #27 trustees are currently reviewing their Committees of the Board policy for a proposed change in committee structure, and they are requesting public feedback by Oct. 21. The newly proposed structure will amalgamate the board’s Education and Business committees to one Governance Committee. Information is online at www.sd27.bc.ca/ policies-bylaws.

TOURISM FUNDING A new, three-year base funding model for the South Cariboo Visitor Centre (SCVC) will give more predictable funding and allow for better planning. The SCVC will receive $18,750 annually for the next three years. District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall confirms this is about what it has received in the past on an annual basis, but it now gives more stability with the longer term commitment. Destination BC announced the threeyear base funding model for visitor centres across British Columbia following consultation with the industry.

3. Yes. Our Conservative government made a promise that hunters, farmers and sportsshooters will no longer be treated like second-class citizens. We enacted this into law with the Ending Long-Gun Registry Act and the Commons Sense Firearms Licensing Act (Bill C-42). The Conservative party has long-opposed the wasteful and ineffective Long-Gun Registry. It needlessly targeted law-abiding Canadians, while doing nothing to reduce crime or strengthen our efforts to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Bill C-42 was particularly helpful by introducing a grace period for renewing gun licences, easing the restrictions on transport, limiting the powers of provincial Chief Firearms Officers, and upgrading possession only licences to the status of possession-and-acquisition licences. Law-abiding Canadians from coast to coast can count on our Conservative government to stand up for their rights and continued progress towards firearms fairness. The Liberals and NDP have said they would bring the registry back.

I couldn’t choose just one, but would consult with communities to find out their top priorities in turn.

We will scrap the unfair UCCB program of the NDP and Conservatives and replace it with a Canada Child Benefit that will give families making less than $200,000/year more than the UCCB and making it tax free. 3. The Liberal Party will not bring back a gun registry, and we are committed to keeping Canadians safe with the gun control policies currently in place. The Liberal Party's plan with firearms is to ensure that responsible owners can freely own them, while keeping the most dangerous weapons out of the hands of our children, criminals, and those with the capacity to harm others. The Liberal Party approach to violence is not via restrictive gun control policies but rather through a strategy to reduce drug and criminal activity. The Liberal Party, with my support, will be addressing drug and criminal activity through various other policies, including the immediate legalization of marijuana. Our policies to legalize marijuana will ensure that we can keep marijuana out of the hands of children while removing the criminal element.

3. Regarding long guns, Canada currently has commonsense gun regulations that the United States can only dream of, and the only party talking about more gun regulation – by trying to scare people about it - is the Conservative Party. And yet, just ask the National Firearms Association (NFA) how committed the Conservatives really are to gun-owners (or look up the story online). The NFA was preparing to testify against C-51 when the government convinced them not to in exchange for several amendments to C-42. And yet, once C-51 was safely passed, they were disinvited from presenting those amendments at all, with senior staffer Kory Teneycke telling the president that the “NFA had been played, and that the government saw no need to honour its commitment on C-42.” This Conservative Party has a long history of taking its base for granted. Will you reward them for doing it yet again?

Wrongful Dismissal – The Duty to Mitigate

Is your employer entitled to fire you? In general, the answer is “yes.” If so, where does the expression “wrongful dismissal” come from? A dismissal is wrongful when the employee is fired without cause and without enough advance notice. After the courts have decided that a dismissal was “wrongful,” they must decide on compensation for the former employee. In considering compensation, the courts must also consider the employee’s “duty to mitigate.” What is the “duty to mitigate?” It is the requirement that the dismissed employee seek comparable alternative employment. When the court makes a compensation award, it will deduct the amount the employee could have earned if they had diligently sought alternative employment after dismissal. As a result of the duty to mitigate, in a wrongful dismissal case, the former employee must give evidence about their efforts to find alternative employment. Sometimes, employers whose lawyers have told them about the duty to mitigate will offer to rehire the former employee. When the former employee refuses to accept this offer, the former employer will tell the court that the employee has failed to meet their duty to mitigate. As the former employee, are you required to accept an offer of employment from your former employer? It depends on the circumstances but, in general, probably “not.” In the recent case of Fredrickson v. Newtech Dental Laboratory Inc., (2015 BCCA 357), the BC Court of Appeal gave two examples of circumstances where an employee was entitled to refuse an offer from the former employer. First of all, the court held that the offer must be a “complete” offer. In other words, if the employer did not offer full compensation for lost wages, then the offer would not be considered complete. Secondly, the court looked at the conduct of the employer in this case and held that the employer had destroyed the mutual trust which is a fundamental part of the employment relationship and, on that basis, the employer could not reasonably expect the dismissed employee to return to the poisoned atmosphere of the former workplace. A wrongful dismissal can be very hard on the employee. The duty to mitigate does not make things any easier - but there are some limits on the duty to mitigate.

HEALTHY COMMUNITIES WORKSHOP Silos to Systems:

Building Collaborative Capacity to Tackle Community Issues that Matter in the South Cariboo

Thursday, October 15, 2015 REGISTRATION: 8:30am WORKSHOP TIME: 9:00am - 3:30pm at the Community Employment Services, Horton Ventures Community Room 808 Alpine Ave. 100 Mile House Presented by the South Cariboo Community Planning Council, Interior Health and BC Healthy Communities on behalf of the PlanH Program. South Cariboo Community Planning Council and Interior Health are pleased to invite you to this exciting opportunity focused on strengthening collaborative capacity to advance work on building healthier communities in the South Cariboo. Collaboration across agencies in the South Cariboo has long been facilitated through the work of the South Cariboo Community Planning Council and various organizations in the region. But conditions have changed over the years, and the context has become increasingly complex. This workshop will engage with questions about what it takes to do collaborative work at a community level today, given the changing landscape and context. Join us to work with others in the community to consider how multiple organizations can develop the capacity to align their work for greater impact on the issues of concern to all, even when there are differing mandates, interests, resources and time constraints. WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE This workshop is open to members of the South Cariboo Community Planning Council, local government, First Nations, School District representatives, and other community partners with an interest in collaborating around important community issues in the region. PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED AS SPACE IS LIMITED! For more information, please contact Debbra Williams at 250-395-5155 or cfec@cariboofamily.org. THIS ADVERTISEMENT COMPLIMENTS OF THE FREE PRESS

Smoke Alarms save lives

By Roger Hollander I’d first like to mention that once again, Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 4-10) is upon us with this year’s theme being “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep.” Smoke alarms do save lives and it’s crucial that all of us have them installed in their homes and we have to make sure they are working. 100 Mile House FireRescue would like to remind the public about some smoke alarm basics.

• Smoke alarms should be installed in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every storey of your home (including the basement). When installing, follow the manufactures instructions. • Smoke alarms need to be tested once a month by pressing the test button to ensure they are operating properly. • Alarms should be cleaned periodically by gently vacuuming the outside of the unit. • For battery operated smoke alarms or hard wired smoke alarms with battery back-up, the batteries should be replaced at least once a year preferably twice (once at each daylight savings time). Batteries need replacing immediately if the alarm “chirps.” • Smoke alarms do expire and should be replaced when they are 10 years old or do not respond when tested. Escape plan Make sure to teach all family members to follow your home escape plan if the smoke alarm sounds. If it is safe to leave the room, stay below the smoke and leave the house by the quickest and safest route. Once outside, go directly to your family meeting place and do not re-enter the house. Call 9-1-1 from another location, such as the neighbour’s house. Roger Hollander is the fire chief of the 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue.

With Fall now upon us, black bears are beginning to fatten up in preparation for hibernation. They need to rapidly build up their fat reserves in order to survive the winter. For bears looking to bulk up, human foods, like those found in compost piles and garbage bins are an attractive option. There is potential for conflict whenever bears are drawn in to urban areas by human foods. Human-bear conflicts can be reduced by following these tips:

Remembrance Day Parade, Service, Open House going ahead

Following the first general meeting after the summer hiatus on Sept. 24, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #260-100 Mile House membership made a couple of important decisions.

Branch secretary Rick Smale says they will be going ahead with the Remembrance Day Parade, Service and the Open House at the Legion following the Service at the 100 Mile Community Hall

on Nov. 11. “It will be much the same as it has been in the past.” The members also decided to re-open the Legion canteen three days a week, and it will be operated strictly

by volunteers. Smale says the canteen will be open on Thursdays, 2 p.m. until after the pool league finishes; Fridays, 2 to 8 p.m.; and Saturdays, including meat draws, from 2 to 7 p.m.

Workshop to look at collaboration From A1

adding collaboration with other groups takes time and extra energy, so collaborative practice takes a hit. The workshop will assist groups to begin forming a framework for working together and aligning their efforts, so agencies with differing mandates, interests, resources, and time constraints can have more impact. Smirfitt notes that people and groups change over time, and it’s important to review their needs. It’s also important for organizations to ask if certain things are still working, and whether the goals of the community have changed over time, she adds. “The strength of working collaboratively is that people’s issues are often very complex, and no one group can address all these challenges. Complex issues require support services to be equally complex; and all the pieces have to work together so things go smoothly. “That’s why it’s important that we work together well in order to support others. And it’s nice for people to get

the same message from everyone.” The Healthy Communities Workshop is open to members of any group interested in collaborating around important community issues, including

local government, First Nations, the school district, the Women’s Centre, Interior Health, and the SCCPC. It takes place on Oct. 15 at the Community Employment Services in Horton Ventures’

Community Room at 808 Alpine Ave. (100 Mile House) from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Preregistration is required. For information, contact Debbra Williams at 250-395-5155, or cfec@ cariboofamily.org.

Taking the heat – a day in the boots of a firefighter

s fire chiefs from across Canada assemble in Victoria last week for the annual Fire Rescue Conference, I donned the same heavy gear and breathing apparatus that firefighters do when rushing in where most others would rush out. I felt the sweltering heat of the equipment and saw the blinding haze of a smokefilled building. Wearing 30 kilograms of gear, I tried to push down the feelings of unease that welled up inside me as I navigated an unfamiliar structure threatened by flames. For me, during the fire ops training at the Vancouver Fire training facility, the flames were real but the conditions controlled. Yet firefighters all across British Columbia, responding to the real threat, face danger in the eye each time the garage

GUEST SHOT

ational Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 4-10) is underway and fire departments across the country are providing an important message about protecting our families from injuries or death caused by house fires. This year’s Fire Prevention Week them is “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep.” It’s a catchy phrase about the most important tool we have to safely get out of our homes if they catch on fire. The life-saving tool is the common smoke alarm – whether it’s battery-operated or hard-wired into our homes. The importance of working smoke alarms has been documented since the BC Smoke Alarm report, entitled Smoke Alarms Work, But not Forever: Revised, was released in 2012. Working smoke alarms should be in every bedroom and on every storey of a home because nearly 50 per cent of residential fires happen between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. - when the residents are asleep. In British Columbia the primary source of residential fires is stove top burners, but other top ignition sources include electrical, fireplaces and chimneys, as well as cigarettes. On average, one BC resident is injured by fire every 44 hours, and Fire Chiefs’ Association of British Columbia research suggests that fatality rates increase by 74 per cent when a working smoke alarm is not present. The good news is that since the Smoke Alarm report in 2012, total fatalities have dropped by nine a year between 2012 and 2014 as a result of present and working smoke alarms. So, working smoke alarms are obviously important tools for saving lives. The key here is to make sure all of our smoke alarms are actually working, so we should test them every month. Making sure our smoke alarms are working is as easy as pushing the little test button on the smoke alarm once a month, and changing the batteries if it fails the test. The life-expectancy of a smoke alarm is around 10 years, so if we have one that is around that age, we should insert new batteries and test them. If they don’t work, we should replace the smoke alarm. However, there are other safety issues we should be consider during Fire Prevention Week. Firefighters want to increase public awareness of fire safety and this week provides an opportunity to review evacuation plans and practice fire drills with our families. While we are testing the batteries in smoke alarms, we should also test our carbon monoxide detectors, and ensure fire extinguishers are serviced and functioning. These preventive measures will save lives, and increase the safety of our families. During the week, we should take the time to thank our local volunteer firefighters who train hard all year to battle blazes and save lives in our communities.

our evacuation plans and practise our fire drills, test the batteries in our smoke alarms and ensure our fire extinguishers are serviced. Here in B.C., the number 1 source of residential fires is stove top burners, but other top ignition sources include electrical, fireplaces and chimneys, as well as cigarettes. Many fires are preventable, yet statistics show that on average, fire kills eight people each week in Canada, with residential fires accounting for 73 per cent of those fatalities. Join me in thanking a firefighter for the service they provide to public safety and the best thanks of all comes by refusing to be a statistic by simply becoming better equipped and fire safe at home.

108 Ranch resident recounts Tory problems

To the editor: On Oct. 19, we are facing a crucial election for the future of Canada. After 10 years of [Stephen] Harper’s Conservatives, our economy is stagnating, democracy is being undermined, and our international reputation is suffering. I am deeply worried about the direction our country is headed under this government. Let’s take a look at the Conservative government record. Here are a few things that have happened:

• The Health Accord with the provinces has been scrapped and $36 billion in health funding will be cut over the next few years. • Our national debt increased $150 billion, wages for middle class are stagnating and income inequality is increasing. • New election laws were passed, which make it harder for some people, such as youth and minorities, to vote. • The Harper government withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change, and it has done

nothing to address the climate crisis. We now have the reputation for obstructing international climate change negotiations. • The Conservatives have weakened environmental protection legislation. Most of our fish and 99 per cent of our lakes and rivers are no longer protected. • They passed Bill C-51, which allows massive surveillance of Canadian citizens and infringes on our privacy, rights and freedom of speech. What worries me most is the

Complain to provincial government before it’s too late

To the editor: Will you care for your parents when they need you? I know many seniors in facilities who rarely see their families. Maybe you’re just too busy with your job and your kids. And when you do see them, it can be rather unpleasant because they are often miserable and complain about everything. What do they have to complain about? Don’t they have medical professionals at their beck and call? No, in many facilities they do not. Provincial government facilities have insufficient staff and services, such as therapy, due to a lack of funding. Whereas many privately owned “facilities for profit” choose to neglect our seniors. After all, their investors are expecting those large dividends. This government allows this “business of neglect” by refusing to enforce adequate

T

standards of care. My research has proven that the senior health-care system has been going downhill for years. What level of care will the system provide for you in the future? The citizens of this province must stop this decline now. Our future depends upon the protest we make, now. We must raise our voices to a level that can no longer be ignored by this government. Anyone with a personal account of abuse or neglect of a loved one in a facility can make a difference by e-mailing me their story, which I will forward to the government. Please remember that children learn by example. If they see that you have not taken the time to protect your loved ones, will they protect you? Judy Galley Sorrento

threat to democracy itself and abuses of power that have occurred under this government. The Conservatives made illegal robocalls in the last election; they have abused our parliamentary system; they have concentrated power in the Prime Minister’s Office; and they tightly control their MPs. Our own MP votes along party lines, despite objections from her constituents. The Conservatives hope you will forget about all these wrongdoings, and they will use fear and attack

ads to gain your vote. Many Canadians, including me, think it’s time for a change, and it’s time to restore the Canada we used to know. We have an excellent candidate, Bill Sundhu, running for the NDP in our riding. As a human rights lawyer, he cares about ordinary people, democratic principles and justice for all citizens. I encourage you to vote for him. Patricia Spencer 108 Mile Ranch

Weird economic policy To the editor: A corporate raider takes control of a business and then downsizes the operations by liquidating assets and terminating employees. The immediate result is a one-time boost to the bottom line and a substantial profit for the raider and his closest associates. Corporate raiders justify their actions with falsified data and good-for-the-economy rhetoric, but their real motivation is more wealth and power. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has the mindset of a corporate raider. If he was ever given the authority to manage a large agricultural enterprise, he

would probably sell the livestock, clear-cut the woodlots, layoff the workers, auction off the farm equipment, and subdivided the land. Then he would shamelessly declare he had created a substantial profit because of his masterful economic action plan. Stephen Harper is not a nation builder; he is an egodriven pseudo corporate

raider obsessed with dismantling Canada for the benefit of his financial backers. Mr. Harper might even cook the books of his own government to show a budgetary surplus if his job was on the line. He certainly is an incredible prime minister.

he federal budget document began with an ominous warning about deep cuts. Social programs, justice and corrections would be spared as much as possible, but no department would escape the knife. The stark truth was revealed in a table of figures. Health-care spending, the core of the Canadian state, was cut by 3.8 per cent in just the first year of the fiscal plan, as population and need continued to grow. No, this is not from the Stephen Harper budget of April 2015, or any other in the last decade. It’s from the Jean Chretien budget of 1995, more than 20 years ago. That’s the last time anyone actually cut health-care spending. But wait, you may say. Didn’t I hear that Harper has slashed health-care spending by $30 billion? Yes, you probably did hear the biggest, most brazen lie of this election campaign, either from the government unions that advertised it or the politicians who parrot it.

increases below three per cent and health care outcomes that continue to lead the country. As the current election campaign turns into the home stretch, Statistics Canada has announced a milestone. For the first time in history, the number of seniors exceeds number of children. This demographic shift is inexorable, predictable and must be addressed by whoever wins the Oct. 19 federal election. NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair is on record that he will scrap the Conservative formula for growth-based increases that he pretends are cuts, returning to six per cent every year while balancing the budget. Little detail has been provided on how this would be done. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau announced in Surrey last week that he will ante up an extra $3 billion over four years for health care, and “sit down with the provinces immediately” to renegotiate, a rerun of Paul Martin’s political theatre.

the province Men who tried to disfigure Mountie will stand trial KAMLOOPS - Two men accused of severely injuring an RCMP officer near Kamloops last summer have been ordered to stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Jerry Lee Lamar and Leon Francis Leclerc were each charged with one count of attempting to wound, maim or disfigure RCMP Const. Paul Koester following an incident in Pritchard on July 5, 2014. Lamar is facing an additional count of refusing to provide a breath sample. Lamar, from Pritchard, and Leclerc, from Falkland, were ordered to stand trial following a preliminary inquiry in Kamloops provincial court, the details of which are protected by a publication ban. A trial date is expected to be set on Nov. 9. Neither Lamar nor Leclerc are in custody. Koester is the Mountie who shot and killed 22-year-old Ian Bush during an altercation in the RCMP detachment in Houston, the small town near Smithers. Koester was cleared in the subsequent investigation and no charges were laid. Business owner protests sign removal by the city SMITHERS - A building company that had been displaying signs advertising condo sales says the city’s bylaw officer unfairly removed them from the corner of Hwy 16 and Eby without warning. “He should have phoned us to let us know he was taking them down,” said Virginia Goddard. As part of the marketing, they’ve been placing signs around town but the signs disappeared recently. “We were going around to see if our signs were getting destroyed, and then we eventually found out,” said Virginia Goddard. What they found out was that their signs were all lying in the back of a city pickup truck at the public works yard. The city then wrote them a letter explaining they had been in violation of the sign bylaw that stipulates temporary signs containing advertisements are only allowed on the property for which they are advertising and not on public or other right-of-ways. Goddard has taken this opportunity to call for a sign bylaw change.

Delaney Speers, Grade 12

“I don’t think they are. We don’t really do much in school other than in social studies. Other than that, there’s nothing really in the school.”

Tiana Dykstra, Grade 12

“No. I don’t think [the older generation] really incorporates our opinions as much as they should and we really don’t learn that much about it.”

Caleb Campbell, Grade 12

“I would think not. Most youth probably don’t really care much about it. Mainly because we don’t really get taught about it at school.

An early morning motor vehicle incident on Oct. 7 sent four occupants of a Toyota Camry, who had sustained injuries – three of them seriously, to hospital. According to local RCMP, the Camry lost control and struck a tractor-trailer unit that was pulling out on Exeter Station Road in 100 Mile House.

Services investigators located a vehicle on Highway 97. Queries about the licence plate showed the owner was a prohibited driver. The vehicle was stopped and the driver was confirmed to be prohibited. The driver was issued an appearance notice for driving while prohibited and the vehicle was towed and impounded for seven days. The driver is to appear in court in 100 Mile House on Dec. 8. MVI investigation continuing On Oct. 1, 100 Mile House and emergency crews responded to an MVI involving two vehicles on Highway 97 in front of Clancy’s Restaurant in Lac la Hache.

The entertainment committee of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #261-Forest Grove has been busy coming up with new ideas to entice locals and visitors alike. Its latest contribution is jamming sessions that allow local artists

to introduce themselves and their songs. The first event took place on Sept. 11 when Roy Mezger regaled the audience with his guitar and vocals. Other performers have followed suit and everyone is welcome to join in on Friday evenings, starting at 6 p.m.

Darts tournament The annual Blind Draw Newfie Shoot on Sept. 19 at the Forest Grove Legion was a grand success, with 55 players registering. Legion representatives from Kamloops, Lillooet, Barriere, Clearwater, Quesnel

and Forest Grove started playing at 11 a.m. and were finally on their way home at 8 p.m. The consensus was it was great fun. Donnie Chisholm and Steve Curtis, from Quesnel, and Aileen Lamberton from Kamloops were the overall winners. Second place (two players only) went to Tom Ingebrigtson of

Sicamous and Gloria Gartner from Barriere. Organizer Ruth LeBlanc and Gary Gerard, both from 108 Mile Ranch, and George Bourgeois from Kamloops came in third.

Debut of first album exciting for local singer

Singer grateful for local support as first album debuts Barbara Roden Free Press

The debut of her first album, Rhythms of Your Heart, has 100 Mile House singer Ingrid Mapson excited, and she’s looking forward to performing selections from it in the area next month. “People have been asking me for an album forever, so I’m glad I was able to record one,” she says.

Submitted photo

Ingrid Mapson is excited about singing selections off her debut album, Rhythms of Your Heart, at two separate venues on Nov. 5 and 6.

The album is a mix of show tunes, light jazz, and light pop, and Mapson picked songs that she felt passionate about. “I chose the ones I felt were most beautiful. It’s important to connect with the listeners, and that’s done by really expressing to them from my soul.” She also wanted a mix of genres, rhythms, and languages for variety. “I called it Rhythms of Your Heart, because it has various rhythms and because I wanted to connect to people’s hearts.” Mapson has two events planned in the area: a house concert at the home of Len and Carolyn Aune (5184 Kallum Dr. in the 108 Mile Ranch) on Nov. 5 at 7 p.m.; and a concert

at Parkside Art Gallery (401 Cedar Ave.) on Nov. 6 at 6:30 p.m. Mapson says she is looking forward to reconnecting with people here. “They’re part of my journey, and have been so supportive. I can’t wait to share the album with all my friends here.” She’s excited to finally have the finished product in her hands. “I’ve worked so very hard on it.” Rhythms of Your Heart, was produced by award-winning, Grammy-nominated producer Daryl Bennett, and features artists who have performed and recorded with artists, such as Sarah McLachlan, Michael Bublé, Natalie Cole, Nickelback, and

The Temptations. “It’s an extremely high-quality listening experience after all the effort the producer, arranger, and musicians have put in.” Mapson says she is appreciative of the support she’s had locally. “I have so many people to thank, including those in the arts community, our radio station, and all the people who have encouraged me to keep on. I feel very fortunate, and am so thankful.” The album will be released on CD, and will also be available on iTunes.

Sports Wranglers rip Rockets

Gaven Crites Free Press

The Wranglers spread the wealth around on the scoresheet and hammered the Golden Rockets, 8-0, at home, but fell to the Chase Heat, 4-1, on the road. While the Rockets (0-8) remain winless, Chase (6-3) is good, with a strong five-man unit, says 100 Mile House coach Dale Hladun. “They're all on the same page. Their team tactics are stronger than ours. That's one thing I have to polish up. That's on me.” Golden is “a big strong team” but “a little dysfunctional”, Hladun adds. “You could see the frustration,” he says of the Rockets, who went on to lose 9-1 in Chase. “Our offense has been struggling, so to have a game like that was nice. It was nice to get a lot of names on the game sheet.” When Golden did push back a little bit, Wranglers goalie Zane

Gaven Crites photo

Wranglers points leader Brett Harris, left, carried the puck to the net while Ryan Friesen followed the play and Tyler Povelofskie drilled a Rockets player into the boards during an 8-0 rout of Golden in 100 Mile on Oct. 3.

Steeves made some great saves to shut them out, adds the coach, truly impressed with his starter's performance this season. “Zane has been fantastic for us...Oh my god is he good.” The Wranglers (4-3-

0-1) host Sicamous (2-6) on Oct. 9 and Columbia Valley (3-6) on Oct. 10. Josh Odelein is injured and Kolby Page is out with a concussion. Hladun expects the Sicamous Eagles to

have a good power play and says the Columbia Valley Rockies are stronger than their record suggests. “I think we'll have two pretty tough games this weekend.” Brandon Howard, from Justin Bond and

Alex Meeker, opened up the scoring for 100 Mile House less than four minutes into the game against Golden on Oct. 3. Liam Cumberbirch, from Nick McCabe, found the back of the net again less than a minute later, while

Kolten Carpenter, from Stephen Egan and Cole Zimmerman, made it 3-0 in the first frame. McCabe, from Brett Harris and Zimmerman, scored five minutes into the second period. Harris, from Carpenter, made it 5-0 heading into the third. Meeker netted two power play goals late in the third period. Harris, Egan and McCabe assisted. Harris, from Tyler Povelofskie, made it 8-0 with 41 seconds remaining. McCabe was named star of the game. Zane Steeves made 30 saves for the shutout. The Chase Heat were too hot to handle on Oct. 2, burning 100 Mile, 4-1. Chase scored twice in the first period before Harris put 100 Mile on the board with seven seconds left in the early frame. Bond and Carpenter assisted on the play. Steeves faced 32 shots and was named star of the game for 100 Mile.

Tune up time for PSO before Zones While a lot of key players were missing from the Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) boys soccer team lineup for the first game of the fall season in Williams Lake on Sept. 29, 100 Mile House's coach did see a lot of good things on the field as the local boys are getting ready to host Zones later this month. PSO travelled with just 12 players and Lake City Secondary School won the exhibition game 2-1. 100 Mile House was down 1-0 at halftime on an unlucky handball in the box, which led to a penalty shot goal. Grade 9 player Cameron Ardiel tied the game 1-1 in the second half on a nice sailing shot. Williams Lake scored the winning goal from in tight, the ball ricocheting off keeper Hayden Prodnuk and trickling in for the 2-1 final. "I definitely took a lot of positives from the game and we have basically a month before hosting Zones to get things right if we want to be competitive,” says coach Sean Glanville. The 100 Mile House squad is training three times a week at the local high school and has a busy schedule ahead of hosting the North Central Zones senior boys soccer championships there on Oct. 30-31. The winner of Zones moves on to provincials. There's a Grads vs Teachers game at the school on Oct. 8. The PSO boys are hosting a play day against North Kamloops and Lake City Secondary on Oct. 9. On Oct. 16-17, the boys travel to Kamloops for a number of exhibition games. The PSO girls soccer team is hosting Zones in May 2016

Braiden Beharrell of the Bridge Lake Electric atom Wranglers crashed the net and watched the puck skip into the corner during the local team's first game of the season against Williams Lake in 100 Mile House on Oct. 2.

Atoms host ice breaker A new season started for the Bridge Lake Electric atom development Wranglers with the local team hosting Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) squads at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, Oct. 2-4. The atom Wranglers faced very strong opposition in Prince George and Williams Lake and lost four games. Easton Mills scored in Game 1 against Williams Lake, with assists by Matthew Keller and Riley Campbell. Campbell, Mills and Treyton Pacheco scored in Game 2 against Prince George. Mills and Ethan Mori made assists. In Game 4, Mills scored two goals and assists were made by Gibson Fast (2) and Campbell. Goalie Kyle Harding faced a lot of shots and kept the scores as close

as possible. While crediting his team for their hard work following the tourney, coach Pat Simms expressed frustration with the 100 Mile House & District Hockey Association. All other leagues in 100 Mile this season joined the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association, which is made up of similarly small towns and more equal caliber hockey teams. But the atoms continue to play in the CAHA with big-

ger more competitive teams. “We are supposed to be developing players,” Simms says. "Instead we're sending kids into towns to get blown out by eight goals or more. I noticed coaching midget rep last year how hard this is on the players mentally... I have an outstanding group that plays their butts off and just loves the game, but changes need to be made if 100 Mile ever wants a program compared to these big markets.”

“Heavy Hands” suffers setbacks in return

Gaven Crites Free Press

His body was telling him to pull out of the fight; his pride wouldn't let him. In hindsight, it seems a sick, overweight and out of shape Ken “Heavy Hands” Huber made the wrong decision stepping into the ring in Richmond on short notice after a six month layoff on Oct. 3, where the Kamloops-based amateur boxing champion by way of 100 Mile House was easily beat by an East Vancouver boxer, Samuel “The King” Moses, via fourround decision. Huber says the Silver Gloves Championship bout – which didn't see his CombSport B.C. heavyweight or cruiserweight titles on the line – was “the weirdest experience” of his career. “Basically I took the centre of the ring and caught punches... I just couldn't let my hands go.” Before he was a punching bag for Moses, Huber was 20 pounds overweight

after a carefree summer camping with his kids, an ill 31-year-old desperate to cut weight and get back in shape, and an understandably distracted fighter after a pre-fight examination revealed an irregular heart palpation. After close to 10 years in the fight game and 30-plus fights, that news was a first and came as a big surprise. Because he's a veteran, the doctor gave him the benefit of the doubt and let him fight, he says. “It was just not my night. I don't want to seem cocky, but [Moses] is well below my skill level. To be honest I was maybe 60 per cent. I was no where near ready to fight, mentally or physically.” Huber, who typically prides himself on his fitness, was embarrassed to reveal he even threw up after the bout. “If there's anything I could take away from this loss, it's that I know now you can't lie to yourself. I was telling myself I'm tough, I'll fight through it, I'll be fine. But you have to trust your gut and trust

finding out how serious it is. “Once that's cleared up, then absolutely. If the doctor tells me

there's nothing wrong and I'm good to go, I'm starting to train for the rematch right then and there.”

your body.” Organizer Mark Friedman gave Huber more credit, but admits the champ looked sluggish. “The event was awesome,” says Friedman, founder of the Pack Of Wild Dogs Combat Club, which hosted the busy night of fights. “Everyone went home asking when's the next one. [Huber] put up a

good fight, but the extra weight showed. 'King' Moses boxed extremely well. The rematch should be interesting.” Asked about that rematch, Huber says there's no doubt in his mind he'll “make this right” and prove he's the better fighter. But his number one priority now is seeing a doctor about his abnormal heartbeat and

South Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department members appreciated The South Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department (SGLVFD) Auxiliary hosted its annual Firefighters Appreciation Dinner on Sept. 26 and 65 people attended the event. Fire chief Peter McKie said it was a great event, which was highlighted by three former fire chiefs – Barry Roman, Bill Hinde and Dale Dyck – attending, and three firefighters receiving service pins. Dennis Nagy received a 10-year service pin, while Art Groves and Larry Messaros were presented with five-year pins. The executive saw a changing of the guard as Susan McKie stepped down as president and took over the treasurer’s duties. Cheryl Groves is the new president and Jennifer Gehl is the new secretary. This year, the SGLVFD received charitable status, which means it can now give tax receipts for donations of more than $25. So far it has received $29,440 in charitable donations, including a $25,000 anonymous donation. A Celebration of Life was held for founding SGLVFD firefighter Mike Balachanoff who passed away suddenly in March in Parker, California. There were a number of upgrades in the

Oct. 4-10 is National Newspaper Week and this year’s theme is “Power of the Press.” It is absolutely true that community newspapers are the corner stones of the communities they serve. We, the employees of the 100 Mile House Free Press, take pride in the service we provide, and happily support so many community events through promotion, coverage and volunteer manpower. The Free Press and other like- minded community newspapers are the authoritative source of news around the province and, indeed, across the country. The Free Press and other community newspapers give readers an in-depth look at important stories affecting their communities, and often these stories explain issues that are similar to, if not exactly the same as, those being experienced elsewhere in the province. The Free Press chronicles the history of the community in a fair and accurate manner, so people can go back in time to find factual historical

information. We also supply the “fridge art” for the community – the photos readers cut out of your community newspaper and put on the refrigerator door for a while. Then we place them in a special box that will that will play an integral role in a graduation or wedding album years down the road. Simply stated, the Free Press prints all of the important news of their residents, includ-

ot many folks can claim the marital longevity of Art and Helen Brookes of Lac la Hache, who marked 65 years together on Aug. 19. They celebrated with family at a gala luncheon held in their honour at the Agassiz Agricultural Hall on Aug. 22. It began with the drone of a bagpipe when the Art and Helen were piped in by a nephew, Calvin Davies, a pipe major in the Vancouver Police Pipe Band who has piped around the world. The local couple is well known in our community, and Art continues to make his popular barnwood picture frames (sold at A&B Photo) in his little shop at their lakeside home. Helen says she is a voracious reader, particularly of detective novels, while Art prefers Louis L'Amour westerns. They love to watch mystery movies together, and always share a lot of laughs, she notes. Their family ties go back more than 65 years, as Helen met Art through her friendship with his brothers. After her mother died when Helen was five years old, she was raised by different aunts across Alberta, but as a child lived briefly in Burnaby, where Art was raised, and later learned she had attended his school

Art and Helen Brookes of Lac la Hache celebrated 65 years marriage with family and friends at a luncheon held in their honour at the Agassiz Agricultural Hall on Aug. 22. They were piped in by a renowned pipe major and shared a beautiful, multi-tiered cake with about 70 guests.

children, Art says after Helen arrived as a young woman, his brothers dared him to take her out on a date. However, Helen notes her would-be suitor showed up at her door when she had just washed her hair. "I put a scarf over my wet hair and away I went. Now, how many girls would do that?" They went to see Mother Wore Tights starring Betty Grable and

Dan Dailey at the superdeluxe Strand Theatre, she says, adding a family member recently found it for them on video format. Art says when he kissed Helen on their second date, she bit him on the lip. "I thought: Oh-oh! I have got to tame this tiger!" Tamed or not, they soon fell in love and married in 1950 at the Deer Lake United Church. Art had a long career

as a geotechnical research machinist at the University of British Columbia, which saw him travelling regularly. During the mid-1980s, he spent three weeks in Tuktoyaktuk researching at the McKenzie River Delta at the Arctic Ocean. "I drove our research truck out onto the Beaufort Sea, and the ice was about seven-foot-six, but even then you could feel a little creaking. It was a real experience. It was about 35 below." They have travelled to many countries in Europe, as well as to Hawaii, Palm Springs, Missouri, Yellowknife and Newfoundland, both from their longtime home in Burnaby and after retiring to Lac la Hache in 1994. They began visiting the South Cariboo regularly after they bought their property on 1972, and Art built their prefab retirement home. "We love it on the lake," says Helen. "And the neighbours – it's a good little community." The neighbours are very helpful and keep an eye on their place when they are away, Art adds. They have played a heck of a lot of crib games in Burnaby and Lac la Hache, and continue to play on occasion. Art was president of the 100 Mile House Garden Club for a few years, and now keeps his Continued on B2

The Brookes bank on family, friends and each other they say. A good-hearted neighbour insisted on taking them in when they would have gone to a hotel, and their home insurance covered the damage because a power interruption had cut off the heat. They also had a tree come down on their trailer when they first moved to Lac la Hache, and Helen ran to save the family dog inside while Art hollered for her to stay out. However, the goodnatured seniors say they are fortunate to have been spared any terrible tragedy.

Helen held down the fort, raised the children and ran home daycares while she also explored her talents with ceramics and crafts over the years. Once in a while hard times hit, like a few years back when they returned from a trip to find their home totally frozen up and all the appliances ruined. But things have a way of working out,

"We have got a pretty good life," says Art. "We have got four kids and nine grandchildren, and they are very supportive. They've been very concerned about us being up here in the wintertime and getting in and out, but as long as we are healthy enough and can drive ... [we are OK]." He adds their sixand-a-half decades together have been peaceful, and they never have battles. "We have had our differences over the years, but we have always been able to iron them out."

INTERLAKES DISTRICT

Diana Forster

The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has been given a provincial government grant to look into Interlakes Economic Association’s (IEA) suggestion that Interlakes should incorporate. The CRD urges everyone who wants further information or has voiced reservations about that possibility to attend the Oct. 14 meeting at Interlakes Community Centre (ICC). Consultant George Abbott, who will be compiling information and writing a report, will receive appointments from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., followed by an open house from 6 to 7 p.m., and a public meeting at 7. Contact the CRD – ajohnstone@cariboord. ca or 1-800-665-1636 – if you would like an appointment. However, the report is not a study of options for governance change, nor is it an incorpora-

tion study. Halloween stables The IEA will host the Haunted Halloween Stables at Interlakes Rodeo Grounds, Oct. 31. From 6 to 8:30 p.m., all spooks are invited to enjoy food, beverages, goodie bags, a bonfire, the haunted stables, and a huge fireworks show at 7 p.m. If you wish to dress a stall, call Carolyn Charlton at 250593-4582 to make arrangements because there is no electricity at the rodeo grounds. Snowmobile AGM Interlakes Snowmobile Club’s annual general meeting will be 7 p.m., Oct. 14 at Joe and Darlene Maddalozzo’s Sheridan Lake home, 7331 Airmail Rd., which is just east of Loon Bay Resort on Highway 24. All interested snowmobilers are welcome. Anyone wishing to put their name forward, or needing further information, should call Jeanne McCartney at 250-395-3557 or Marcel Repentigny at 250-3955363. Food certificates Elaine Adams, coordinator of Interlakes youth groups, Kids Space Group, notes that Bridge Lake

Community School Society has given her group $300 worth of Save-On-Foods certificates, and said: “It’ll be put to great use and we are very grateful.” Celebrations Happy birthday wishes go to Larry Davies and Tony Eades; and congratulations on Marsha and Dennis McCoy’s 45th wedding

Discover the ways to fireproof a home

A house fire can engulf and destroy a home in a matter of minutes. Even with the fast-acting response of firefighters, a home that has caught fire may be irreparably damaged by flames, soot and water. Most fires are largely preventable. The following are a few fireproofing measures. • Install smoke detectors and check the batteries regularly. Smoke inhalation causes many fire-related deaths. A smoke detector should be installed outside of every bedroom and on every level of the house. Be sure to routinely check that every smoke detector is working properly. • Have a fire extinguisher in an easily accessible location. Ideally, there should be a fire extinguisher in every room of the home, but at the least keep one wherever fire is used regularly, such as a kitchen or by a fireplace. • Remove combustible materials from around the house. Do not allow old clothing, rags, newspapers, or cardboard boxes to accumulate around the house. Discard newspapers and magazines as

quickly as possible and be careful to avoid storing anything too close to heaters, furnaces or electrical equipment. • Adhere to the recommended wattage in lamps and lighting fixtures. Do not exceed the recommended bulb wattage for lights around the house. • Look for fireproof interior decor items. Nowadays, carpeting and furniture can be coated with fireproof chemicals. • Do not leave candles unattended.

Candles can be easily knocked over and start a fire. In fact, candles are one of the top causes of house fires. Never leave a candle unattended, even for a short amount of time. • Keep the chimney clean. Inspect the chimney flue regularly and have it cleaned to prevent an abundance of residual burnt material from accumulating. • Have a fire-safe wall behind wood heaters. A brick wall or another fireproof material should be used on any walls that house a wood- or gasburning appliance for added safety.

‘Board on the Road’ successful

By Doris E Rufli On Sept. 10-11, the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) “Board on the Road” dropped in on the Forest Grove area to conduct meetings and meet with the community. On Sept. 10, the Canim Lake Band council and staff met with the CRD representatives for a Community to Community Forum in the band’s administration building. Many of the CRD directors concurred it was a productive gathering, and an informal agreement was reached to convene again in the near future. Chief Mike Archie

Doggie fashion show was a howling success

Doggone fun time at unusual fashion show Barbara Roden Free Press

Nineteen participants – twice as many as last year – participated in the Third Annual Doggie Fashion Show, which was sponsored by Andre’s Electronic Experts, on Sept. 19. The dogs, a pig and a goat were dressed in a variety of outfits: everything from tutus and leather jackets to a lion costume. Nearly $850 was raised for the 100

Mile House SPCA, says Andre’s manager Amanda Usher. Donna Land of Whiskers Kisses, a pet food bank for those who are struggling financially, also benefited from the fashion show. She raised $225 selling baked goods, and had donations of $135 as well as pet food and supplies. “I’m a lot busier than I thought I would be, but thanks to the kind hearts of locals I’m able to keep up with the demand,” says Land. Usher promises the fashion show will be back next year. “We’re always looking for new ideas to make the event even better.”

We’re inviting you to participate in this special fundraising event by purchasing a ‘Health Star’ for ... to be lit up at the front of the 100 Mile District Hospital.

This state of the art mobile x-ray stretcher has a built in scale system for accurate patient weight allowing proper medication dosage. It also allows staff to do x-rays and other procedures while the patient remains on the stretcher, therefore limiting movement and discomfort to those who are, in some cases, dealing with severe trauma.

Again this Year his star-studded fundraiser will not only light up the hospital and the community, it will brighten the faces of everyone using our medical facilities. Funds raised will be used to purchase medical equipment and enhance health care services for 100 Mile area residents.
