mill closures

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT

Business as usual: local owners respond to mill closures “Forestry is not a forever industry”

Raven Nyman 100 Mile Free Press

Small business owners in the South Cariboo are moving forward with business as usual, despite recent mill closures and curtailments in the region.

Heather Brown has been the business owner at the Firehouse Diner in 100 Mile House for five years and says she is concerned for the community in general.

“It’s going to directly affect our business, there’s no way around that. It’s part of how these things go,” she said.

“There’s going to be a trickle-down effect and in a lot of ways, it’s impossible to know what the effects will be right now. It [was] a week ago. We’re heading into summer so that will kind of mask things for a few months because we’ll have the usual influx of people that are only here in the summertime, so that will cover it up a little bit, but come fall, that’s when we’ll know exactly where everything’s at.”

Brown added that because hunting and hockey season will extend into fall, September is also a busy month for the town. She wonders if all families will be able to keep their children in hockey this

“All of that’s really up in the air right now,” she explained.

“It’s an opportunity to look at what we are doing now and what we could do differently.

Forestry is not a forever industry. It’s not renewable in the sense like how grass grows.”

Brown thinks the community of 100 Mile House should more closely consider economic opportunities as they come.

“I’m seeing references to things like prisons and cannabis growth and all the rest of it. These are all industries.

Maybe you don’t like the idea of a prison but prison’s exist, there’s no way around them

and people still come to visit their families and stay in your community while they’re visiting their family in the prison.

There are all sorts of offshoots from that industry.”

Brown suggests that the community embrace change and accept what’s happening: “Move forward rather than trying to drag everyone else backwards. It’s our only way and I hope that the local government recognizes that.

Pat Riley and her husband, Allen, are also business owners in the community. They have owned B.J.’s Donuts and Eatery in 100 Mile House for 25 years.

from the free press archives 21 15 11 YEARS AGO (1998): A $9,000 cheque was presented by the South Cariboo Truckers Association to the 100 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department rounding off the $121,000 required to purchase the new rescue truck. The presentation of the cheque was made by Jerry McKinnon and Cliff Lewis at the Fire Hall. The truck had been ordered in the previous year.

Firefights were “very pleased” to see a donation like that made to the department.

YEARS AGO (2004): The Forest Grove delegation that appeared before the School District No. 27 board did not change the minds of the board’s trustees. The delegation had gone to the board meeting as part of their continued fight to keep the rural school open.

The board stuck to their decision and close the school at the end of the school year. Students would be transferred to Buffalo Creek Elementary the following school year.

The Rileys purchased their business in May 1994 and have been operating ever since. Pat is a red seal chef who has lived in the community since she was 10.

Riley thinks the recent closure announcements from Norbord and West Fraser will be really hard on the town, but says the community has always managed to pull through during tough times: “Things get slow, things pick up again, it’s all a cycle for sure.”

“I’m worried and I’m hoping that we can encourage people to stay in town,” said Riley.

“This is a time to shop local and deal local. A lot of kids and younger adults that buy

YEARS AGO (2008): The increase in gas prices was hitting some local residents harder than others. Robert Pacaud, a resident from 70 Mile said sometimes he couldn’t afford gas or travel to a doctors appointment because he was on a pension. “Everything I buy costs more because of the price of gas is so high.” Pacaud expressed his frustration with the carbon tax that came into effect on July 1, 2008.

online, maybe they can stick around and buy stuff in town, that kind of thing. We’re going to need to do everything we can to help each other out.”

Riley thinks the whole community will be affected by the recent announcements from our local mills. She had to throw out many donuts in the trash after the most recent set of announcements went public last week, but since then, business has remained steady.

Riley thinks it was just a bit of initial fear or shock from the community.

“Nobody ever expected Norbord to say they were going to go down.”

For Allen, moving forward at B.J.s will mean conducting business as usual.

“We’ll be okay,” he said.

“June is always our busiest month anyways. It’s about the same in general [this year], I haven’t actually looked at the numbers.”

Ken Thomas is another individual who has been doing business in the community for almost 25 years. Thomas has owned the Work N Play Clothing company since 1994.

In that time, he has seen plenty of ups and downs in the local economy.

“It’s cyclical it seems. The economy can slow down. We just make adjustments and do things to stay in business. Everything kind of balances out after a while. There are only so many dollars in the community and there are businesses that survive because of those dollars.”

Thomas feels for those who

YEARS AGO (2011): The South Cariboo Meat Co-op (SCMC) had held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new abattoir that would construct along Canim-Hendrix Lake Road. The ceremony saw roughly 50 people in attendance. After a recent change moved the site to its current location, SCMC former chair Gus Horn said to ensure all key aspects were in place and planning was done properly, the facility will have a new revised scheduled date.

have lost jobs and says the situation is pretty serious for them.

From a business standpoint, Work N Play will make adjustments as necessary, he said.

“We’re always making changes. There’s always challenges in business and this is just one more challenge.”

Thomas thinks that if there is an impact, the community will really see it in the coming months, closer to fall.

Colette Benz is in her tenth year as a business owner in the community and shares the feeling that we may have to wait and see how things play out.

Benz is the owner of Colette’s Barbershop.

She thinks the closures and curtailments will be hard on the community, adding that she worries she may lose some of her younger clients.

“I wouldn’t want to be a young person today with that kind of news. It’s just so uncertain,” she said. “I’m getting a lot of feedback from a lot of people and they’re scared.”

Benz said things feel very “up in the air” and worries for those families who have recently settled in the area and may have to move following the closures. “I really wish the mills weren’t shutting down.”

Still, Benz remains optimistic. “Let’s hope our little community stays alive, that’s the biggest thing. I love this community. It’s a great place to raise your kids, a good place to retire to, and to work and live as a young family.”

“I’m going to try to be here for my clients and not give up,” she promised.

YEARS AGO (2017): Five new firefighters were on the job with the 100 Mile House Fire Rescue team. The training process took up most of their weekend time for two months through the spring. The new members brought the team Fire Rescue team to 30 members, 28 of those fell into the paid-on-call roster, while holding day jobs outside of firefighting as well. For the small fire hall, 100 Mile House Fire Chief Roger Hollander said the detachment was quite busy.

We sell hundreds of homes every year and the reality is that those hundreds of buyers aren’t moving here for the mills. For those looking to sell their homes now is the time to price accurately and not reach for the stars like many have been doing. We are still seeing lots of activity in the area and expect that to continue throughout the busy summer season.”

Wayne Walker, the owner of Royal LePage, said they were already starting to see some ripples from the announcements, adding there have been numerous houses coming on the market and quite a few price reductions.

“We’ve been riding an extremely good real estate market for quite some time and all things slow down sooner or later,” said Walker. “I think we’ll see prices correcting on some overpriced places, but how much is dependent on a seller’s mo-

tivation to sell.”

Adding that some people are more affected by the mill closures, the key in this situation was to keep calm and make an informed decision.

“Don’t panic, get the facts. Our market is still active and I believe, although maybe slower, will remain active. This is still a beautiful place to live and retire,” he said. “My crystal ball is presently a little cloudy to determine how much and how soon prices might drop.”

Wayne Walker According to Walker, a large percentage of their buyers are retiring and aren’t looking for a job.

However, he did dispense some advice on some of the younger families who may be worried about their mortgage.

“Anyone in fear of defaulting on their mortgages, go see your bank or lender and discuss any options.

Do it sooner than later to be prepared.”

mill closures

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT

Mill contractors working through a difficult time “We are left having to function day by day”

Millar Hill 100 Mile Free Press

Recent mill closures in the South Cariboo are hitting contractors and smaller businesses alike hard - leaving them in a state of uncertainty for their future.

Debra Maclean and her husband Rod Dillman, who co-own Rod Dillman Contracting are apart of those being affected by the indefinite curtailment of Norbord’s 100 Mile House mill location.

“We have been working for them for years,” said Maclean.

“We were bidding on timber sales performing stump-to-dump

logging and Norbord had been issuing some of our contract work.”

The couple started their business in the South Cariboo 14 years ago with one machine and have built it up ever since.

Up until now, their company had consisted of 25 full-time employees and about five sub-contractors.

“We had 25 employees and in the last week I had to lay off 10 guys and our guys are like our family - it devastated Rod and I,” said Maclean. “It’s heartbreaking.”

The curtailment of 100 Mile’s Norbord location came to them as a shock, as it

did for many. Maclean said Dillman was first made aware of the curtailment from a text message that one of the logging truck drivers had sent.

“After we heard it from the truck driver, one of the fellows at Norbord had tried to get a hold of Rod, who at the time missed the call,” said Maclean.

“Rod phoned him back and he was told (of the curtailment) and then, of course, the following day we were sent an email saying the contract was

void - so that’s where we are now.”

In order to keep their business running, the couple is now searching for alternative markets where they can send loads.

“For us to have to sit down and figure out how we are going to do this and be able to get through this - we had no choice but to reduce our staff,” said Maclean. “Obviously, we need the revenue to cover our expenses and we are reducing those expenses. It’s crushing, most of our staff have

families and we can’t help them and that devastates me. I don’t see the government stepping in and helping them. It blows my mind that the government can offer help to the mill workers, as they should, but they forget about the contractors and their crews.”

Maclean said it’s not just the mill workers and contractors that are going to be affected, but every other business that plays a significant role in the industry.

“The businesses that we buy our fluids and

parts, we aren’t purchasing much,” said Maclean. “If we need it, we will go get it but before we were having them stock us up but we can’t do that now.

It’s trickling downhill for all of us. We log for a lot of the ranchers around here and the wood is just sitting there and that’s hard too because don’t want to let those people down … It’s terrible.”

In past years, the company has been able to help out in the community, but with the loss of jobs and people having to cut back their spending, those generosities could be hard to come by in the following months. Maclean said that it’s not just going to affect the industry but the community as a whole.

“This was a shock.

We didn’t have a choice in this matter, it was just sprung on us,” said Maclean. “We are left having to function

Despite the uncertainty during this time, Maclean is hopeful and plans to hang on

and do their best with what they’ve got.

Diaries of a City Kid: An amazing day

I

have done a lot of things but I don’t think I have ever had as much fun as I did, participating with three of my coworkers in the 100 Mile Lions’ Amazing Race.

I signed up for this event not knowing what it was. I’ve heard of the television series but have never watched it - I was going into this blindfolded.

The day began with a complimentary breakfast before the race got started. Each team was given an envelope that had four origamis for each member. The first team to complete them was given their first clue and obviously had the advantage over everyone else. We were that team.

Once we left the Creekside Seniors Centre, our first challenge was to find a specific license plate on a vehicle that was parked somewhere along Birch Avenue or Highway 97.

MILLAR HILL

DIARIES OF A CITY KID

t’s been nearly six years since, speaking at a Kelowna rally, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he would rather see cannabis legalized instead of just decriminalized.

Back then he was just plain old Justin, on the campaign trail trying to garner votes and reinvigorate the federal Liberal party. Two years later, the Liberals cruised back to power on that promise and others.

The Liberals defaulted on their promise to reform the electoral system, and you have to wonder if the promise of legal recreational cannabis is going to be substantially complete before the next federal election, this fall.

It’s not entirely the Liberals’ fault that we’ve yet to see a thriving cannabis industry. Though it took three years—three months later than the July 1, 2018 date first promised—they did deliver on the legislation last October.

But even though they had those three years, provincial and local governments didn’t really get started on their own legislation until, effectively, the last minute.

So far, relatively few cannabis retailers have been able to open across Canada. The first to open in B.C. was a provincial government-operated store in Kamloops. But most of the many applications from hopeful private retailers in the Cariboo and around the province are still waiting for the dual approval they need from the province and their municipal government.

It’s not that getting a licence to sell cannabis should be easy.

There are obstacles and social issues that need to be dealt with.

But with three years warning, there is little excuse for provincial and local governments not to have been better prepared to resolve those problems and implement legalization.

Governments should have had frameworks, laws and bylaws ready to go by the time legalization legislation dropped, only needing fine tuning to match the feds’ ideas.

By now, most of the applications should have been either approved or denied, with private operators starting to add to local and provincial economies, and driving the black market farther underground.

You would think governments didn’t want the tax money that cannabis retail stores are going to generate.

It took some time but we found it and headed to our next destination - The 108 Mile Heritage Site, where my two bosses played life-sized Yahtzee while my other coworker and I worked on another side challenge. We did a lot of challenges that day and I can’t remember all of them.

Early in the morning, we had to go back to the hall to get our next clue, but first, we had to make crafts and then

get into wedding gear for photos - I went straight for the dress.

Max and I have a very romantic photo to document the pretend marriage.

That was probably one of the more memorable challenges. Towards the end of the day, one of the pit stops for our challenge was at Jake’s Pub. We had to dress up in pink clothing and recreate one of the Pepto Bismol commercials. The judges were tough but we made it through.

Those Lions members were pretty creative in the challenges they came up with.

At one point, we had to go up to the Snowmobile Clubhouse and take part in an archery challenge. That is something I have never done before, I didn’t hit the targets but I am quite positive if Max didn’t get that last target, it was going to be me.

One of the more comedic challenges was having to put a stocking on our head that had a ball inside of it. Getting on our hands and knees we had to go around a course knocking down water bottles with only the ball inside of the stocking.

The entire day consisted of running around town like wild animals and I enjoyed every second of it. For most of the day, we had the upper hand on the other teams. Even if it seemed like we were behind, we caught up and managed to get further. I had a great team, everyone kicked butt. I also learned that I was more competitive than I thought.

Which is good to know.

My boss told me that our team won the previous year, so the stakes were high. As the new guy, this was my time to shine and I think I did pretty well, I mean we did win.

Property owners require clarity and transparency

To the Editor: It has been reported within the two land claims currently before the courts by the Haida and Cowichan First Nations there are approximately 3,200 non-Indigenous landowners that have not been notified by either the federal or provincial governments.

Apparently, the NDP-Green coalition does not believe that

the government of British Columbia has a duty to ensure that the rights guaranteed to all British Columbians under the Constitution and under the Constitutional Amendment Approval Act are protected and respected.

Under the Constitutional Amendment Approval Act, a law that was introduced by the NDP of Michael Harcourt in

1992 after the failure of the Charlottetown referendum. This law calls for a referendum before the provincial government can ratify any constitutional changes that could impact the citizens of the province.

Testifying before a Senate committee, two retired Supreme Court of Canada Justices, Willard Estey and Alexander McIntyre, warned that the

Under the NDP administration of Glen Clark, the treaty was not subjected to ratification by a citizens initiative referendum, as

was called for under the Constitutional Amendment Approval Act before he signed it.

There were a number of private landowners impacted by the Nisga’a Treaty when their equity in these properties took a substantial hit when they tried to sell them after the treaty was proclaimed.

There was also pressure inflicted upon non-Nisga’a residential property owners.

One that I am aware of involved a family that had lived there for years, had been adopted into one of the clans and had good relations with their neighbours before the treaty. After the treaty one of their ‘good friends’ told them: “Get off our land, honky.”

Coming back to the present, although

what happened in the past after the Nisga’a Treaty was signed might not be repeated in the Haida and Cowichan land claims, it is unknown what would happen to the equity held in any of the private properties involved if the First Nations are successful in their claims.

The federal government asked the B.C. Supreme Court in 2017 for orders that would force the Haida and the Cowichan to inform the landowners that their properties were subject to land claims.

In the Haida case, Justice Barbara Fisher said giving property owners notice could “create unnecessary fear in the non-aboriginal community, given the actions for ejectment may never be brought,” and she said if the landown-

ers were informed that they live within the claim area, “there is a real possibility that many of them will seek to participate in the proceeding.”

That, Justice Fisher said, could “frustrate” the progress of the case.

In the Cowichan case, Justice Jennifer Power said the landowners would be able to make their arguments in subsequent court proceedings although she did not specify which ones.

The federal Justice Department said in a recent e-mail that it has now decided it would be premature to formally inform private landowners of the litigation. In both the Cowichan and Haida cases, the department said, the First Nations have advised the federal government that they are

not seeking any remedies against private landowners.

Thomas Isacc, a Vancouver lawyer who is an expert on Indigenous law, said if he were one of the landowners, he would “absolutely” want to know that his property was subject to a land claim. The bottom line, he said, is that Aboriginal title means the First Nation has exclusive use of the land and “how can one parcel of land have two exclusive occupiers?”

Property owners require clarity and transparency if their equity could be impacted. The policy behind the decision to inform private property owners only after “a land claim has been adjudicated,” needs to be changed.

Clearcutting last old-growth is leaving all of us poorer Earlier this month, hundreds of British Columbians visited MLA offices across the province demanding protection of endangered old-growth forests and improved forest management, during a day of action organized by Sierra Club BC. In response, David Elstone, the executive director of the Truck Loggers Association, accused our organization of not acknowledging the economic importance of old-growth logging and claimed that clearcutting what little remains is sustainable (B.C. has most sustainably managed forests in the world, June 6).

He was joined by columnist Tom Fletcher repeating outdated claims about the climate benefit of replacing old-growth forests with young trees.

Fletcher ignores modern science showing that clearcutting ancient trees results in the rapid loss of huge amounts of carbon accumulated over hundreds of years (Urban environmental “emergency” routine wearing thin, June 9).

Sierra Club BC is concerned about the economic, social and ecological impact of clearcutting endangered old-growth forests. True sustainability is leaving similar values and conditions for future generations. But B.C.’s ancient giants have been reduced to a fraction of their former extent, replaced by young, uniform forests cut in short rotation forestry, never allowed to grow old again.

Elstone claims B.C.’s forest management is the most sustainable in

the world. However, satellite images show that on Vancouver Island, we are losing what little forest remains intact three times faster than Brazil’s primary rainforest in the Amazon is being destroyed.

Massive amounts of carbon have been added to the atmosphere as a result and only a tiny fraction remains stored in wood products. One study estimates the loss of carbon when comparing old-growth forest to a 60-year old stand at more than 300 tonnes of carbon per hectare (more than 1,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide).

The current oldgrowth logging rate on Vancouver Island alone is about 10,000 hectares a year or more than 30 soccer fields a day. The inescapable conclusion is that old-growth log-

ging on Vancouver Island alone contributes millions of tonnes annually to provincial carbon dioxide emissions.

Elstone highlights that in recent years close to half of the volume cut on Vancouver Island came from old-growth.

Today the Island’s productive old-growth (forests with relatively big trees, not bonsai sized trees that government and industry likes to include to inflate numbers) has been reduced to about 20 per cent of its former extent.

Only six per cent of the original productive oldgrowth of the Island is protected.

Elstone is in denial about old-growth logging coming to an end, one way or the other.

This should be a huge concern for everyone with a job in the woods.

We will not leave anything close to what we found for future generations. Plants and animal species that depend on old-growth will vanish. Climate impacts will worsen without the shield of intact ancient forests to reduce droughts, floods and fires. Degraded landscapes will impact the quality of drinking water and allow fewer options for a diverse economy that includes tourism and recreation.

Elstone claims 55 per cent of remaining old-growth forests on Vancouver Island is protected. This is highly misleading. As the total amount of old growth trees declines due to logging, of course, the percentage that is protected goes up. B.C. could destroy 99 per cent of all old-growth, set aside

one per cent and report 100 per cent protected.

Is this the approach to conservation British Columbians want?

His sustainability argument is particularly troubling considering B.C.’s old-growth forests were looked after by Indigenous peoples for millennia. Indigenous communities made use of forests in hundreds of different ways without destroying their ecological integrity.

Instead, B.C. is exporting about three million cubic meters of oldgrowth per year as raw logs, accepting massive environmental losses for minimal economic benefits.

The good news is it is not too late to save what remains of B.C.’s old-growth, restore second-growth forests and transition to truly

sustainable forest management. We can still choose to save the web of life that depends on intact forests and move to carefully planned selective logging. This would deliver “negative emissions” and wood products at the same time, capturing more carbon in our forests than is lost as a result of harvesting.

Creating more jobs with less ecosystem damage per cubic metre of wood deserves our full support. The longer we wait the harder this change will be. The first step is for industry and government to stop the denial reflected in Elstone and Fletcher’s opinion pieces.

Jens Wieting is the senior forest and climate campaigner for Sierra Club BC.

Tsilhqot’in Nation urges Taseko Mines to stop drilling plans before conflict grows Monica Lamb-Yorski, Williams Lake Tribune The Tsilhqot’in Nation is calling for a safe and peaceful resolution to prevent Taseko Mines Ltd. from doing exploratory drilling for its proposed New Prosperity Mine west of Williams Lake.

The conflict is the latest confrontation in a long legal battle between the Nation, which has declared title rights in the area and the mining company.

On June 13, Taseko gave twoweek notice that it planned to begin its drilling program on Tuesday, July 2 in an area 125 kilometres southwest of Williams Lake at Teztan Biny (Fish Lake).

In a statement issued Tuesday, the Tsilhqot’in Nation said it wants TML to stand down on the drilling program and not bring machinery and personnel to the site. The nation is also asking the B.C. government to step up and help resolve the issue.

“The Tsilhqo’tin Nation opposes this drilling program as an imminent violation of its human rights under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples,” the statement noted.

Teztan Biny is located in traditional Tsilhqot’in territory and includes 300,000 hectares of wilderness and wildlife habitat. It is just outside of the 1,900 square kilometre area in which the TNG won title over in a historic 2014 Supreme Court of Canada ruling, but still within a broader area under land claim.

Tribal chair Chief Joe Alphonse told the Tribune to develop a mine in that area would be the equivalent of “vandalizing a church.”

“Taseko’s project has been rejected two times by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency – there’s no chance it will ever get built,” he added.

Since the permit was first issued in the summer of 2017, the Tsilhqot’in Nation has appealed it several times, however, on June 13, the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the latest appeal.

Russell Hallbauer, president and CEO of Taseko, said after the ruling by the SCC it was an important point in time.

“The law has been tested at the highest levels, the legal challenges are over, the permit is sound, the work can and will proceed,” Hallbauer said in a press release. “What this ruling does mean is that we are taking the steps necessary to get closer to the day when such a decision can be made to build New Prosperity.”

Hallbauer said the site for the proposed mine contains the largest undeveloped copper-gold deposit in Canada and easily among the top 15 in the word.

Peachland residents worry about lug-nut thief Laryn Gilmour, Black Press media Some Peachland residents are feeling at risk after several people had their vehicle’s lug-nuts tampered with.

One resident on Peachland neighbours Facebook group said her car’s front lug nuts were loosened.

“I suspect the tighter one was left there so I could build some speed before disaster. I had my three-yearold with me in the car, I was lucky I noticed a strange noise at low speed and asked my husband to look,” posted the Facebook group member.

She continued to make note of her children’s car seats being visible from the back seat and the individual who went through the trouble of potentially causing an accident and could have put small children’s lives at risk “Please check your car and report to the police if this happens to you,” asked the women in her post.

Another Facebook user responded to her post by claiming it has also been happening in Westbank.

“This seems to be happening all over. Why would someone do this?” replied another group member.

One poster said, “This is attempted murder.”

Last month, RCMP warned people about stolen lug nuts and asked Peachland drivers to check their vehicles.

Black Press Media has reached out to RCMP in regards to these incidents and if they believe it could be the same person tampering with vehicles.

Four-year-old boy assaulted at B.C. soccer game Barbara Roden, Ashcroft Journal Ashcroft RCMP are appealing for witnesses after a four-year-old boy was assaulted during a soccer tournament over the weekend.

“A four-year-old boy sustained injuries to his leg as the result of an altercation with up to four other minors,” said Ashcroft RCMP detachment commander Sgt. Kathleen Fitzgerald.

“We’re looking to find out who the minors are so that we can confirm their ages.”

Fitzgerald said the incident does constitute an assault, but how it is treated will depend on the kids’ ages.

The four-year-old was transported to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Fitzgerald said the boy was not from Ashcroft, and that the alleged attackers also do not appear to be from the community. An adult intervened and told the minors to stop, at which point they scattered.

It is not known if the suspects were participating in the soccer tournament, or if they were the siblings or friends of some of the players.

Safeway raises $3,000 for food bank Raven Nyman 100 Mile Free Press

The local Safeway grocery store exhibited a shining display of generosity on Thursday, June 20, when it presented the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society with $3,000 in funding, just as a storm rolled into town.

On Thursday, Daniel Broddy, store manager, presented Bob Hicks, executive director of the Food Bank Society, with a donation of $3,000 collected during Safeway’s holiday fundraising campaign, which took place over the course of just 13 days in December 2018. Just over $200 was raised through the sale of Food Bank hampers at Safeway, while $2,870 in donations were collected at the till.

“People really donate to the community here, which is awesome,” said Broddy.

Broddy explained to Hicks that there was a delay in getting the funds to the food bank, but added it is perhaps a good time for the donation to take place, as many locals may be affected following the closure of thel local mills in the area.

Hicks explained that the Food Bank intends to donate the money received from Safeway to various breakfast and hot lunch programs in local schools.

“We’re giving $2,000

of [the money] to Mile 108 Elementary and we’re going to give $300 to Lac la Hache Elementary,” said Hicks.

Broddy advised that Safeway will also be donating a lot of frozen turkeys, left-over from Easter. Those turkeys will be available at the Food Bank once organizers have made room for them in the freezer.

Food Bank Society secretary Lyndamae McNabb, Brock Surette (Safeway’s produce department manager), and Steve Jacklin (Safeway’s “This town is a very meat manager) joined the society’s executive director Bob Hicks and Safeway’s manager Daniel Broddy for the presentation of giving town, it real- funds on June 20. Raven Nyman photo. ly is,” said Hicks. He explained that each November the food bank also receives funds from the local Lion’s Club’s annual auction and in December, funds come in from the food bank’s “turkey day”.

During their 2018 holiday campaign, 100 Mile’s Safeway actually raised more than the Williams Lake location, despite that community being larger than 100 Mile House.

MOCK SEARCH EXERCISE ON CRATER LAKE

Thirteen members of South Cariboo Search and Rescue participated in a full mock search scenario in the Crater Lake area.

The team was given a small amount of information about the “missing person” very similar to a real-life situation. The team located her vehicle upstream from Crater Lake. A tracking team was able to determine her direction of travel. The Ground SAR and Swift Water Rescue teams located her a short time later with a “fractured femur” at the base of the waterfall on the edge of Crater Lake. First aid teams attended to her injuries while the High Angle Rope Rescue Team transferred the stabilized subject to safety. Sam Bergman photo.

Happy Birthday 108 Millar Hill 100 Mile Free Press

The 108 Mile Ranch saw people from all over the South Cariboo for their three-day 50th Anniversary Celebration from June 21-23.

To start things off, the spaghetti dinner hosted by the 108 Mile Lions at the 108 Mile Community Hall was sold-out. Ingrid Meyer, the 108 Mile Lions’ director of membership said the lions club did an “amazing” job.

The evening featured various speakers throughout the area. While meals were being eaten, the podium was open to anyone in and around the community to share their experiences and stories of the past and present in 108 Mile Ranch “It was about bringing the memories back and the people who’ve lived here before to share their experiences,” said Meyer.

Events took place all throughout the community at places such as the 108 Resort, the golf course, heritage site and more.

“They (all events) were attended equally,” said Meyer.

“The main focus on Saturday was the barn dance which was attended by more than 100 people. I think all events were well attended with over 100 people.”

On Sunday the 100 Mile and District Historical Society served over 150 people with free breakfast and coffee that was donated by Tim Hortons. According to Meyer, all of the proceeds throughout the weekend will be distributed equally to the 108 Mile Lions, 108 Mile Ranch Community Association, the heritage site and fire department.

“All of the leftover merchandise will also be shared (to those organizations),” said Meyer. “We really want to thank all of the volunteers and sponsors. We couldn’t have done anything without them.”

National Indigenous Peoples Day recalls history, brings cross-cultural connection “The kids all call us Kye7e (grandmother).

Now we are in the Kye7e’s footsteps.”

Raven Nyman 100 Mile Free Press

Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals joined together at Eliza Archie Memorial School to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day (NIPD) on June 21 with a full day of activities and learning opportunities.

Pam Theodore has been the coordinator for NIPD at Eliza Archie for many years. To her, the day allows individuals to join in play while learning about another’s culture.

“I think we have more awareness of why we’re celebrating,” said Theodore. “A lot of our people are so proud of our heritage. It’s a way to also teach our children.”

Theodore explained that many Canim Lake community members went to Williams Lake for the day, but those who stayed behind to celebrate NIPD at Eliza Archie were joined by the students of Forest

Grove Elementary, who were invited to share the day with them.

In the field below the school, Theodore’s mother Elsie and aunt Antoinette Archie were stationed for the day. The Archie sisters are two elders in the community who continue to teach language to children around Canim Lake. Elsie is 76 while Antoinette is in her 80s. On NIPD, the Archie sisters featured an ethnobotany booth within the hexagon tent set up in the school field. The tent included cultural artifacts, personal photographs from the Archie family, and traditional medicines made by members of the Canim Lake band.

Antoinette shared the importance of her family’s history and culture thereby explaining a bit about her grandparents, who were significant figures within the community and respected elders, as Antoinette and Elsie have become.

“That’s my grandfather,” Antoinette explained as she examined the likeness of the relation framed before her. “I had the best grandfather in the whole world: Tommy Archie. His wife Eliza Archie is named after our school.”

Antoinette, or “Tony” as most know her, says

Elsie and aunt Antoinette Archie are two elders in the community who continue to teach language to children around Canim Lake. Raven Nyman photos. that their grandfather taught both sisters so much.

“The elders from years ago were teachers. It didn’t matter who you were. They would tell you what you’re doing, what things are, like medicines. One lady, her name was May Dickson, she used to gather the children to teach them our faith and tell stories.”

The Archie sisters explained that their grandmother Eliza was a similar brand of woman.

She lived into her 90s, but after Tommy’s death in the 1950s, their grandmother was alone for years. In that time, she kept busy giving back to her community in more ways than one might be able to imagine.

“She did many things for the reserve,” said Elsie, listing just a few of the reasons Eliza

Ella Gilbert displays the piece of art she gifted to the Friendship Centre on National Indigenous Peoples Day, June 21.

Archie Memorial School was named after her grandmother.

“She walked around wherever she went. She went from one person’s house to the next and asked if she could do the mending or if there was anything she could do for them. If somebody was sick she would cook them some soup. She was just everywhere.”

Beyond the hexagon tent, another tent was set up in the field for the community’s elders to relax in at Eliza Archie. Elsewhere, children participated in sumo wrestling, an amazing race, and a bannock-making contest. There were also bouncy castles and a variety of other fun and physical activities for visitors and community members to enjoy at the school.

Volunteers from the provincial organization Indigenous Sport, Physical Activity, and Recreation Council (ISPARC) visited Canim Lake for NIPD. Robin Edgar was one of the ISPARC volunteers who stopped by the school to help out. She explained that ISPARC offers sport and coaching development in communities while also organizing elite sports for team B.C. On NIPD, ISPARC held a fundraiser for the youth who will travel to Halifax in 2020 to participate in the North American Indigenous Games.

The Healthy Living amazing race that took place on NIPD was also part of ISPARC. Edgar said that volunteers had actually been in the area for a few days and enjoyed getting out on the land and volunteering with the community. Edgar is a medicine woman and also

ran a “re-think your drink” station during NIPD that featured stinging nettle tea and other herbal beverages.

For Edgar, June 21 signifies national recognition for her people.

“I don’t think we need the recognition, we always celebrate each other daily, but also the cross-cultural celebration. There’s another school here today, a non-Indigenous school, and I think it’s really great for them to come and see our culture.”

Eliza Archie Memorial School recently participated

Frank was once a 100 Mile Princess and travelled to Europe in the early 2000s as part of her title. She now volunteers at the school and helps students make hand drums and dream-catchers.

“I’ll do anything for our warriors,” she said. For her, NIPD means having a day to represent and be “proud of who we are.”

For Christopher, NIPD means “gathering and understanding our traditions and culture.”

As a small girl flitted into view at Christopher’s hip, she introduced her granddaughter, Bluebird Dick, pointing out the girl’s detailed performance regalia.

“This one here is a jingle dress and it represents the rain,” said Christopher. “All of these dances are pretty much from the east, they are borrowed, and when they [the girls] dance they have to respect what they wear.”

Frank added that there are different styles of dancing within the culture for each gender.

A police report from the 100 Mile House RCMP 100 Mile RCMP responded to 92 complaints and calls for service between June 18 and June 24. Here are some highlights.

Firearm theft Sometime during the day on June 21, unknown culprits broke into a residence on Highway 97 north of Lac la Hache and stole a number of items including firearms.

Truck and trailer On June 19, police received a report that a blue GMC Sierra pickup was stolen from the Mahood Falls area between 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. On the same day, a 2003 Arctic Fox travel

trailer was stolen from a property on Houseman Road. On June 20, 100 Mile RCMP received information that a truck and trailer similar to those stolen were parked on Forbes Road in Lac la Hache.

Upon attendance, it was confirmed that these were the stolen items. Police located a female suspect when they were clearing the travel trailer. Police arrested the woman, taking her to 100 Mile House. The two stolen articles were seized and towed. Charges of possession of stolen property and breach of undertaking are being recommended to Crown against a 26-year-old female resident of Prince George.

What’s been happening at the Lone Butte 4-H Club Sarah Tinney Special to the Free Press

It all started one day on January 6.

Everyone who wanted to join 4-H came to the Lone Butte Hall. We saw a few new families join and older members come and sign up. We had 28 members sign up this year. We had our first meeting on Jan. 10, 2019. We have one meeting each month.

Then on Feb. 24, there was a beef weigh-in for all the cows that are part of 4-H in Williams Lake. We have two beef members in our club. On Feb. 7, we had our second meeting at the Lone Butte Hall.

In March, we had our club speeches. Everyone did a speech and it was really fun. We also had a potluck for the club and

judges. On March 7, we had our third meeting at the Lone Butte Hall. Two days later, we had our annual spaghetti dinner and auction. People came and ate spaghetti and after they ate, they could help themselves to a piece of pie. Then the fun stuff would start, were we would have our live auction.

We also had a silent auction, going on before and after dinner. And we would like to thank everyone that came and made our evening such a big success.

We had so much support from so many people and businesses.

On April 4, we had our fourth meeting. We had district speeches three days later.

We had eight people go to the district speeches. On April 26 we had a little petting zoo at the Interlakes Community Hall.

It was very cold that day and

snowed a bit. We had our fifth meeting on May 2 and there were regional speeches on May 4. We had four members go.

One member came home with a gold medal, the others with silver.

We had this practice judging rally on May 5, so we would be ready for the real thing. Finally, we had the real judging rally.

It was on May 11 in Williams Lake at the stockyards. We all tried our best and did the best we could.

So that brings us up to what the 4-H club has done for the last five of months. The real hard work with Achievement Day and Show and Sale is still to come, but so far we are all having a great experience.

pick-up trucks were stolen in the 100 Mile area. Police recovered a Ford F-350 near 111 Mile. RCMP have yet to recover the second truck, which was stolen from a different location.

The second truck is described as a white 2006 GMC Sierra.

There is a possibility that many of the offences from this week are related.

I am far from the only local who cherishes the lake’s warm, emerald waters, which are fit for fishing, water-skiing, wake-boarding, tubing, swimming, and doing pretty much any water-based sport or activity you can think of. I’ve even seen people riding chairs across the lake, pulled behind a boat, but that’s an activity I wouldn’t suggest my readers try anytime soon.

There’s even a spot to enjoy a private do-it-yourself mud spa, but there are some Green Lake secrets we locals ought to keep for ourselves.

One thing I can tell readers is that Green Lake is one of the larger bodies of water in the South Cariboo at approximately 14 kilometres long with an irregular shoreline of approx-

imately 57 kilometres.

Green Lake is actually partly a provincial park, too. The lake is made up of 11 campsites: Arrowhead, Black Bear, Blue Spring, Boyd Bay, Buckside Hill, Emerald Bay, Green Lake Islands, Little Arrowhead, Nolan Creek, and Sunset View. Six of the sites have developed facilities.

Two paved, single-boat launches are available within Green Lake Provincial Park; one on the south side at Sunset View campground and one on the north side at Little Arrowhead picnic site. There is parking at both boat launches.

If you don’t get a chance to leave the South Cariboo this summer, this is one place you won’t regret making time for.

A vibrant day for Art Crawl opening ceremony The Art Crawl will run until July 1 Millar Hill 100 Mile Free Press

The Parkside Art Gallery saw a lively attendance for the opening ceremony for the first-of-its-kind Art Crawl on June 21.

To kick things off, outside of the gallery, a drumming ceremony was held following a series of speeches from significant members of the community such as MLA Donna Barnett, Art Council co-chair Gordon Hoglund and Stemete7uw’i co-ordinator Rob Diether.

Event organizer, Bobbie Crane said Barnett talked about the importance of the general public becoming engaged with the arts and culture community in 100 Mile House and Hoglund shared the histo-

ry of the Parkside Art Gallery.

“It went over very nicely, the speeches were good and the art crawlers who attended the ceremony found their way over to the Stemete7uw’i Friendship Centre for lunch,” said Crane.

“It was a full house over there and the opening ceremony was very well attended.”

Throughout the day, art crawlers made their way around town to the various businesses to observe the art.

Most of the participating businesses offered an in-house draw, for a gift basket, certificate or item to engage the art crawlers and members of the community.

“It’s a good indicator to see how many people are participating in the crawl,” said Crane. “We stopped into two different businesses yesterday

that may not have known of the art crawl, but see the art and become engaged that way.”

Crane said a lot of those who participated in the crawl

to observe.

“It was a nice afternoon and everyone seemed to enjoy it,” said Crane. “We noticed people were just stopping by, even people who hadn’t attended the opening ceremony. They saw the artwork around town and came over to the gallery.”

According to Crane, the participating businesses have seen a lot of activity and some sales since the opening ceremony this past weekend.

“I want to thank the Community Resilience Through Arts and Culture, 100 Mile Lions Club and the 108 Mile Lions Club for their generosity and support,” said Crane.

“This event was made possible because of all of the artists and businesses who participated in the Art Crawl.”

Art will remain on display at the participating businesses until July 1.

Artist and teacher recalls history through art Raven Nyman 100 Mile Free Press

On June 21, 100 Mile House celebrated the opening of its Art Crawl, but more importantly, the community recognized National Indigenous Peoples Day. Some residents made time for both activities and those who attended the Stemete7uw’i Friendship Centre were amongst those individuals.

Following the Art Crawl’s opening reception at Parkside Art Gallery, community members visited the Friendship Centre to share more art and enjoy a lunch of home-made bannock and moose stew.

In a quiet corner of the Friendship Centre, a woman named Ella Gilbert sat in conversation with her peers.

In roughly two hours at the Centre, Gilbert managed to create a beautiful gift for her friends there. She presented that gift, a hand-stitched Navajo print, to the Friendship Centre’s coordinator Rob Diether.

Gilbert doesn’t just make hand-made prints for friends.

She also makes tea towels and a variety of other hand-

Gilbert learned to stitch during her time in the residential school system as a child.

good things I learned there,” she said. “She was one of the good ones.”

On National Indigenous Peoples Day, from the comfort of a chair in the safety of the Friendship Centre, Gilbert used art to share some of the

more challenging chapters of her personal history.

Beyond her fine art endeavours, Gilbert is also an experienced linguist who teaches the Shushwap language to students from her home in Canim Lake. She is the mother of five and a grandmother to 17 children.

“I’m waiting for great-great, then I’m gonna go home,” she said with a laugh.

“A lot of our language is tonal,” Gilbert said, going on to explain the measures she took as a child to maintain her language whilst attending a school system that sought to strip it from her.

“I was the sneakiest person,” she said. “You find corners.

I’m one of the lucky ones.”

Gilbert recalls practising her language in secret at the residential school and cherishing sacred summer months with her mother, who only spoke Shushwap, not English.

“They beat it out of us,” she explained, referencing St. Joseph’s Mission, where Gilbert and countless other Indigenous children were prohibited from speaking their birth language.

The trauma Gilbert experi-

enced during her time in the residential school system has remained with her always.

Now in her 70s, Gilbert is able to speak openly about the time she spent recovering.

“I had to go to three or four treatment centres,” she said.

“I’ve been blessed. I just wanted something different.”

Gilbert was once addicted to alcohol but has since changed her life. As a young woman, she recalls being approached about her body shaking. An older woman advised her that the symptom indicated alcohol had taken over her life.

Those words hit home, said Gilbert, who explained that the interaction helped her to undergo a sort of spiritual awakening.

“It was scary and exciting at the same time,” she said about taking the first step to enter treatment for addiction. It wasn’t a simple personal battle, but in the end, Gilbert emerged victoriously.

When her grandson was baptized 34 years ago, Gilbert decided for the last time to give up alcohol, for good.

“I didn’t want this little guy to ever see me drunk,” she said, “I went cold turkey.”

Gilbert hasn’t touched a drop in over 30 years. She credits the treatment centres she visited and those individuals who worked to help her recover along the way. The first time she saw a therapist, Gilbert was asked when she had cried most recently. She recalls that this question “broke the dam” in her, and tears spilt from her eyes. Gilbert has never been one to cry, she said but became overcome with emotion when finally faced with childhood trauma she had never really dealt with.

“An older lady picked me up off the floor,” she remembers. “I just cried and cried for about five years.”

After years of treatment, Gilbert hit a milestone when she finished a therapy session without crying, but she still seeks out support if and when she needs it.

Most of her people have not lived to be 70, she said, and many of her peers are still struggling with the trauma they endured as children in the residential school system.

“They think they’re okay, but I know different. I accept them. It would be brutal for me to try to fix them.”

Douglas E. Dent Lawyer and Notary Q: My mother died a few weeks ago. My brother is the executor.

In the last few months of her life, mother prepared a list so that the family would know what she wanted done with her jewellery, furniture, household furnishings, etc. My brother says that the list just isn’t fair and he will ignore it. What can I do?

A: The short answer to this question is that this kind of list usually

has no legal validity. Many willmakers talk about doing such lists and their lawyers usually discourage them. Most people seem to know that a will must be signed and that there must be 2 witnesses to the signature. Many of those same people, however, do not understand that a list such as the one described above is, in essence, a form of will – a will which is intended to have limited scope, but a will nonetheless. If you want to place such a list with your will, then you should prepare it and sign it before you sign your will and your will should specifically refer to it. In those circumstances, the list can be considered to form part of the will and can be binding on the executor.

It is also possible to do such a list after signing the will – if it is done in the form of a codicil and signed in exactly the same way as a will. Lists which don’t meet one of the 2 criteria just mentioned are unlikely to be binding on the estate. If the list is not legally binding, then the person preparing the list can only hope that all of his or her family members are of sound mind and will respect the wishes expressed in the list. If that is not the case, then the effort spent in preparing the list will not lead to the desired result.

Q: How can I attract bees to my garden?

A: Bees are your allies in the garden. They travel from plant to plant, helping to pollinate your trees, flowers, fruits and vegetables. Here are some tips to attract them.

Flowers Prepare vibrant flowerbeds where bees will be able to forage for sweet pollen all summer long. To maximize your chances of success, choose plant varieties with different blooming periods. Your winged friends would enjoy Daisies, Poppies, Astilbe, Delphinium, Hosta, Salvia, Sedium among other varieties.

Shrubs and trees Choose varieties that produce lots of sweet nectar. Shrubs that fit the bill include Potentilla, Ninebark, Mock Orange, Weigela, Lilac, Honeysuckle, Autumn Jazz Viburnum, Invincibelle Ruby Hydrangea, Golden Flowering Current and raspberry; as for fruit trees, try apple, cherry, plum or pear.

Herbs Bees are also fond of certain herbs and other aromatic plants. Grow lavender, thyme, savory, mint, sage and marjoram, among other bee-friendly varieties, and be sure to let them flower.

Enjoy your garden with these friends.Happy gardening.

A: If you are purchasing a home as a primary residence, you only require 5% downpayment! Even if you’ve owned a home before! If you are looking at selling and then purchasing another home - as long as it’s a home that will be your primary residence, 5% down is only required. You will also need to prove you have 1.5% of the purchase price to cover closing costs. We can prove that you have equity by providing a contract from the sale of your home and a recent mortgage statement to confirm your current balance owing.

What are some of the closing costs that I can encounter?

• Realtor fees for selling your current home • A bank penalty to break your existing mortgage • Appraisal fee (if you are putting more than 20% down) • Property transfer tax – PTT (I can calculate this out for you) • Legal fees for the sale of your home and for the next purchase • Reimbursement of bills pre-paid by the seller, for instance property tax bill or utilities So many myths about the downpayment when it comes to selling and purchasing.

The Vancouver Canucks drafted some future NHLers in front of their home crowd on June 21 and made a big deal on June 22.

Alfie MacKay talks to his team after a game on June 22. MacKay’s connections in Scotland have led his team to an informal link to the professional Scottish club, Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Brendan Kyle Jure photo.

Soccer team links up with the pros Brendan Kyle Jure 100 Mile Free Press

It’s funny how connections forged long ago and almost a world away can impact several children in 100 Mile House when two old school friends reconnect on Facebook.

Alfie MacKay and Jim Oliver used to play for their school team in a small Scottish village but lost touch, before touching base on social media.

MacKay is a coach within the 100 Mile House Minor Soccer Association (OMHSA), coaching an under-8’s team. Oliver became a professional player, turning out for Dundee United’s reserve side before playing for Scottish sides, Montrose and Inverness Caledonian Thistle (ICT) as well as England’s Wigan Athletic. After his playing days, Oliver stepped away from the pitch and into the front office. He is now ICT’s communications manager.

“I was reading some of Alfie’s posts [on Facebook] about him coaching his son and the other youngsters, and he was asking for some advice and I thought that maybe I could help him and sent him a few words of encouragement,” said Oliver.

MacKay said he was finding it hard to motivate his son and the other children on the team,

adding most of them have never played soccer before. He said Oliver asked him how he would like if ICT linked up with them and when the OMHSA coach said ‘really?’ he was answered with a “sure, why not.”

“It’s still early days. It’s informal at the moment,” said MacKay. “I’m not sure where ICT is going with it. It’s a professional soccer club and they have directors, they have a board that has to agree with everything, but Jim, he’s sent me a box of stuff for the kids. I have no idea what’s in it.”

Oliver has also been posting updates on the 100 Mile team to the official ICT Facebook page, offering encouraging words.

“Already, we’re noticing an improvement as far as performance. They’re wanting to be there,” said Gary Stone, a father of one of the players. “My biggest thing I noticed with my son is that he feels like he’s being recognised for his efforts. It’s given him more drive and it’s made him a better child outside of soccer. It’s given him a leadership role and his attitude has totally changed because of it.”

MacKay also added some changes he has seen in his young players since the OMHSA under-8’s have become the ‘Wee Caley Jags’ (the Caley Jags is

one of ICT’s nicknames).

He mentioned one kid who never wanted to come to practice or get involved, but MacKay took him aside and gave him the number 10 shirt, telling the boy it was what all the big strikers for all the majors club wear.

“He slowly started getting more involved and now he loves it. He looks forward to coming and that’s because of the encouragement from the other parents, his teammates, and from Jim and ICT that made this kid say ‘I want to be a part of this,” said MacKay. His own son, he said, hadn’t scored a goal all season before Saturday, June 15. After seeing one of Oliver’s posts on the ICT Facebook page and went out to his game and scored what MacKay described as an individual goal.

“It was a cracker. One I would have been proud of,” said MacKay. “But [the post] gave him the confidence to do it and that is what being linked to ICT is all about at the moment.”

MacKay reiterated that the link is informal at this stage, but said the ball is in Oliver and Inverness’ court. He added that he would like to see it spread to the entirety of the OMHSA. Mandy DeJonge, another parent, said she thought the link

was amazing, echoing Stone, in saying it gives something for the kids to look forward to.

“It’s really cool they have someone. They are encouraging them and it really helps the kids a lot,” she said. “My daughter was looking them up yesterday and she was so excited.”

MacKay had the players look up ICT’s players and gave them a little homework, asking them to tell him the name of the club’s Canadian player, Charlie Trafford. A midfielder born in Calgary, Trafford has played 50 games for the Scottish club so far but is not the only Canadian link to the club.

Richard Hastings, born in Prince George, played for the club for two stints (1994-2001, 2004-2009) and is most known for scoring the winning goal against Mexico in the 2000 Gold Cup quarter-final, which Canada would go on to win.

Vancouver’s Davide Xausa also played for ICT from 1999-2001 and also appeared in the 2000 Gold Cup winning Canadian team.

“It’s kind of neat there is someone from Canada that plays there and we are not exactly the most successful soccer nation, so it’s good for them to see that,” said Bill Warden, whose daughter is on the 100 Mile team.

Vasili Podkolzin Jim Benning and his team started the offseason with drafting Vasili Podkolzin 10th overall.

The Russian forward was thought to be a Top 5 pick in the draft for most of the year, but his stock took a bit of a hit. Some earlier picks were a little left field, such as Detroit’s pick of Germany’s Moritz Seider, which opened the door for Vancouver to pick the winger.

Podkolzin likes to go full-speed and has no qualms with running through defenders on his way to the net. He’s got a good vision, can make plays and he’s a finisher.

He is an awkward skater though, despite his speed.

Benning thinks the Russian winger is NHL ready right now, but that might not matter. He has two years left on his deal with Saint Petersburg in the KHL. It’s no secret that NHL clubs have been reluctant to draft from Podkolzin’s country as well, due to some players refusing to come to the league.

Overall though, it’s a good pick and could end up being a very high-reward pick for Vancouver.

Nils Höglander Another winger joined the Vancouver Canucks in the second round of the draft. Hailing from Rögle BK, Höglander finished his first full season in the Swedish Hockey League, registering seven goals and 14 points. He’s creative with the puck and can stick handle like it’s no one’s business. Prior to the draft, he was projected to be a mid-to-late first round pick but dropped later in the year.

He’s a short guy (by NHL standards), which may have played in the stock draft, and is only 18.

But he can get fairly phys-

COMMENTARY CORNER

Vancouver’s Draft Weekend

ical and by all accounts, was comfortable playing in Sweden’s top flight.

J.T. Miller The Vancouver Canucks traded their thirdround pick, along with the rights to goaltender Mark Mazanec, and a conditional 2020 or 2021 first round pick to Tampa Bay for JT Miller. Frankly, I think this was a bad trade to make for the Canucks.

They will take on Miller’s full $5.25 million per year salary for four years. It will be more beneficial to the eastern team, as they shed a nice chunk of cap space to resign their younger and better talents.

Now, Miller isn’t a bad player. It’s just that Vancouver gave too much up for him. He will also be playing with Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser, which could make an excellent line. But Jim Benning is going for the win-now approach now, instead of setting up the much-needed foundation for the team. Ultimately, Vancouver is not ready to win now, they still need more pieces, which Benning just possibly gave away in this trade.

The rest Vancouver traded Tom Pyatt and their sixthround pick to San Jose for Francis Perron and a seventh-round pick. They also traded their 102nd overall pick to Buffalo for picks 122 (Ethan Keppen) and 175 (Karel Plasek).

For pick 133, they selected centre Carson Focht from the WHL’s Calgary Hitmen. Jack Malone was selected with the 180th pick. Vancouver’s last picks (195) were American Aidan McDonough and

The Seniors Resource Fair proved that the Cariboo region is age-friendly with another impressive event at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Thursday, June 20.

Jackie O’Gorman and Donna Morrison are both volunteers on the steering committee of the Age Friendly Society. They volunteered at the Seniors Resource Fair last year, too and said this year’s event was wonderful.

Sheri Salo attended the Seniors Fair as a member of the South Cariboo Weavers, Spinners, and Fibre Artists.

“I’m spinning silk,” she explained without missing a beat of her foot peddle.

Depending on what project you’re working on and the material being used, spinning or weaving can take differing amounts of time.

Anita Stoughton is also a member of the group.

During the group’s time at the Seniors Fair she used Merino for a project, a wool collected from an Australian breed of sheep.

Roze Sander made up the third member of the group, and she was spinning alpaca fleece from alpacas she raised herself. About 36 members from all over the South Cariboo are involved with the club, said Sander: “From 70 Mile to Lac la Hache. We do within a 100 mile radius.”

The group even has

Leonnah Yostt had her blood pressure checked at the monitor provided by Interior Health RN Charlotte Montejo during the Seniors Resource Fair. Montejo wrote down Yostt’s reading for her to take home after Yostt stopped by the booth because her blood pressure goes up when she doesn’t get enough sleep. Yostt advised that the previous night, she had slept soundly. Sure enough, Montejo found Yostt had a near perfect blood pressure reading.

Liz Jones works with the Adult Day Service Program in 100 Mile House and was on site to spread the word about the Adult Day program on Thursday: “The more people that know about it the better. We’re kind of a jewel in the dark.

This is our 30th year in 100 Mile.”

The program provides all sorts of services to seniors and those who attend get to

experience highlights such as Murphy the therapeutic St. Bernard, who visits the Adult Day program once a week. Murphy lives in the 108, but always brings a smile to the seniors in the program, said Jones.

“Some people don’t have any other access to getting out, so they can come to us, socialize, and get mental and physical activity. We try to do as many outings as possible.”

The program provides brain food like word searches, crossword puzzles, drawings, and lively discussions to help keep participants feeling sharp. When it was

particularly cold one winter, the organizers even brought Hawaii to the Adult Day Program. From judo-based exercises to badminton with a balloon or soccer with soft balls, volunteers do everything they can to keep participants feeling included and worthwhile in the community.

Other interesting booths featured at the event included the South Cariboo Genealogy Group, who meet to research and discuss their ancestry and backgrounds.

Philip Konrad is a facilitator who was on site to represent 100 Mile House’s Parkinson SuperWalk that

will take place on September 7 at 1 p.m. in Centennial Park. Konrad’s family has been personally affected by Parkinson’s disease, which is why he helped to bring the SuperWalk to the community. The SuperWalk is the largest annual fundraising event for Parkinson Society BC. Jenny Baker is a young entrepreneur who brought over 200 business cards to her first Seniors Fair this year but left with less than a handful.

“I was kind of in awe when I walked in,” said Baker.

“There are so many booths here today. This is amazing, I’m so happy that the Age Friendly Society puts on this event.”

Baker is a local who identified a gap within the community that she has since endeavoured to fill.

“I just started April 1,” she explained. “I’m actually a certified care aid. I’ve worked in home-support and assisted living facilities and this is kind of a gap that I’ve seen in our community.

There was nobody to drive people to appointments or come in and do cooking.

Now you’ve got me.”

Baker says that some of her most frequent requests include chaperoning trips to Kamloops, Kelowna, or Williams Lake for vacuolar degeneration shots, but she provides a variety of offerings through her business, Sunshine Senior Services.

Financial Tip of the Week

Do you have the option to move your pension monies? If so the advantage is that you have full control over your money and the investments you choose. Once moved to a locked in plan, when both spouses have passed away, there may be money left over to pass on to your estate or to the named beneficiaries of the plan. With a pension, the income stops when the last person dies if there are no dependent children who are eligible to receive pension including disabled children. However, before you decide to move money out, or if you need assistance in choosing the right pension option, let us as pension specialists, take the time to help you determine the right path to choose.

THANK YOU - To those who were able to attend the small Celebration of Life on May 31st for our Uncle Donald Wright.

Also, thank you to those who came to the Estate Sale, those who expressed their condolences and those who shared stories with us about our uncle. They were most enjoyable and gave us a great insight as to the type of man that our uncle was. It sounds like he is really going to be missed in the community.

We truly appreciated how friendly and welcoming everyone was to us - both in Lone Butte and in 100 Mile House. The memory of our time there will live long in our memories.

Thanks to everyone from Deb & Gil St. Hilaire and Brenda Huebner
