Ten Thousand Villages fair trade world craft sale co-ordinator Laura Baerg is ecstatic about strong community support shown for the recent event, which saw sales of just under $25,000. Nearly all of the items offered at the four-day event at Marmot Ridge sold. She said people of the South Cariboo should be excited about helping to make such a difference in the lives of the artisans in developing countries who crafted the items.
SALE A SUCCESS

Local champion fundraiser Stan Matthews is on his way to Timmy’s Telethon this week-end, where he will appear on television to receive an award. The presentation will air some-time between 6 and 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 9, and while Matthews says he doesn’t know the nature of the award, he’s aware it’s for his hard work and dedication over a decade of fundraising for Easter Seal Houses.
Matthews was the top fund-raiser for the British Columbia
Lions Society for Children with Disabilities for a decade, through the Snowarama/Fishing derby events of the Interlakes/Highway 24 Lions Club, until he retired last year.
“I’ve been the high money man for B.C. for the last 10 years.”
When he goes to Timmy’s Telethon, Matthews will bring along a $500 donation from Sanders Redi-Mix Ltd., a $400 cheque from the Clinton Lions Club and a $200 contribution from himself, he says.
“I’m very pleased about it, but
I don’t know what I am going to say [on live T.V.],” Matthews says,
chuckling. “You’ve got three minutes to talk, but what are you going to say?”
The funds from the annual Snowarama snow-mobile touring events are combined with pledges col-lected by ice-fishing derby participants for Easter Seal Houses in B.C.
Located in Vancouver, Victoria and Prince George, Easter Seal Houses provide 40,000 bed-nights each year for families of sick children in hospital to stay nearby, avoiding almost $300 a
day for hotel costs.Prior to his work in the South
Cariboo, Matthews says he also served a decade as the top fun-draiser for the Prince George Knights of Columbus Egg-a-Thon, to help children in the burn unit at B.C. Children’s Hospital.
Matthews once raised $32,000 at an Egg-a-Thon breakfast for eating just one egg, but he says other years he ate up to 110 eggs for the charity event.
He has moved his snowmo-bile activities a little southward, he notes, and is now an active member of the Clinton Snowmobile Club.

The Mile 108 Elementary School fair was held on Nov. 24 from 10 am to 4 pm., and it was a huge success.
Santa Claus was busy having pictures taken with the young people who were requesting items for Christmas. The odd, not-so-young person was also taking advantage of the opportunity to ask Santa for their Christmas items.
Many tables were set up in the gym hosting a great array of items for sale.
The highlight of the fair was the festive baskets made by the students from each classroom. Each student was asked to bring a gift, which was placed inside the basket.
It was obvious a lot of effort was given in the making of these bas-
kets and credit goes to the teachers and stu-dents who created them. Teacher librarian Lynn McArthur was in charge of selling tickets, enabling people to bid on these baskets.
Admission was free and it is an annual event to cre-ate funding for the school. There was a lot of parking available and the weather
co-operated by being a nice sunny day.A big thank-you goes to the teach-
ers, staff, students and parents who made this event successful and to Erin Hillstad who fielded the phone calls, etc.

The 100 Mile House & District Women’s Society is welcoming the public to its annual open house on Dec. 13 from noon to 3 p.m.
The Women’s Centre is in the South Cariboo Business Centre at 475 Birch Ave., and the office is on the main floor behind the stairs.
“We hold the open house to invite people to our office and see what we have and meet our staff and oth-ers in an informal and relaxed atmosphere,” says Stopping the
Violence counsellor Karen Beresford. The centre offers a number of programs for women in need, she adds. They include the emergency food cupboard, the fresh fruit and veggie program, the library and the clothing and housewares cupboard.
They offer women’s counselling and infor-mation, which is free of charge. The centre also offers pro bono legal services clinics on Fridays for everyone, but it is by appointment
only.The society also has
a 24/7 safe house for women and their children who are fleeing violent relation-ships, Beresford explains.
“During the Christmas holi-days, we have our Christmas gift tree under
which donations are offered to women to take and give to family members as Christmas presents. We have our Christmas hampers that we have finished accepting applications for, but will distribute
sometime before Dec. 19.
She notes the gener-ous community of 100 Mile House has been collecting the shoe boxes for children, and the Women’s Centre is a distribution point for these boxes.
“We hope everyone will join us for our open house, ask some questions, socialize and enjoy some holiday treats with friends.”
Women’s Centre hosting an open house Dec. 13
Realtors at Royal LePage 100 Mile Realty spent a day making festive table centrepieces for the annual Rotary Club of 100 Mile House Seniors’ Dinner at 100 Mile Community Hall on Dec. 1.

In the winter months storms hit British Columbia more fre-quently.
This increases the
potential for power outages. BC Hydro suggesting six steps to ensure you and your family are better
prepared.• Know the num-
ber to call when the power goes out. To report an outage, call 1 - 8 8 8 - P O W E R O N (769-3766) or *HYDRO on your mobile phone.
Automatic notifica-tion will be available through smart meters once all the meters have been installed and the system is fully opera-tional over the next year.
• Have an emer-gency kit ready and easily accessible. The kit should include: flashlights, a battery-operated radio, extra batteries, a corded telephone, warm cloth-ing and blankets, a first-aid kit, non-per-ishable ready-to-eat foods, and a copy of your emergency pre-paredness plan.
• If there is an outage, turn off all applianc-es and electronics, especially electric heat-ers. When power is restored, power will
rush to all items left in the “on” position, which can cause the system to overload and possibly cause a second outage.
•When the power is out, turn off all lights except one inside the home and one outside. The inside light lets you know when the power is back on and the out-side light lets BC Hydro crews know. In future, smart meters will auto-matically let BC Hydro know when the power has been restored.
• Make note of BC Hydro’s mobile- friendly website on your smart phone. The site provides updates on when power will be restored.
• If you see a fallen power line, stay at least 10 metres away at all times. Never go near or touch a fallen line. Report fallen power lines with the exact location to BC Hydro.

Did you know that our most common emergency call over the holidays is for ovens that have stopped working?It’s true. Ovens do a lot of work during the Christmas season and all that stress can cause them to fail. If your oven takes too long to heat, doesn’t get hot enough, or emits little whiffs of gas, call us now for a pre-Christmas inspection. We can replace thermostats and ignitors before they fail completely, leaving you one less thing to worry about on the big day.

The annual Seniors Dinner, hosted by the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House, was another huge success at the 100 Mile Community Hall on Dec. 1.
The hall was packed with area seniors who enjoyed a great turkey meal with all the trimmings and desserts, cooked and baked by local restau-rants, refreshments and some great entertain-ment.
The event is so pop-ular the club had to open the doors early, so people could get their seats and save some for friends who would be arriving later.
Camaraderie is another key to the pop-ularity of the event, as
it serves as a meeting place for folks to get together for an annual visit.
All they have to do is sit back and visit with friends and neighbours, and enjoy the service and food.
All of this work is not by the Rotary Club alone, as there is a huge volunteer base that comes out year-after-year to do something special for our seniors, many of whom are pio-neers in the area.
“I want to thank all of the volunteers who come out and assist throughout the day and evening,” Rotary Club president Maureen Pinkney says, adding she thinks everyone who attended the event enjoyed themselves.
“First and foremost, a huge thank-you goes
to all of our sponsors. Individuals and busi-nesses of the South Cariboo donate funds and goods to the Rotary Club, which then purchases all of the sup-plies, including food, to be able to host this event.
“We could not host this event without the support of the local restaurants that per-fectly cooked our 14 turkeys to feed the 350 guests.”
Pinkney also notes the
100 Mile Community Club provided the use of the community hall free of charge.
She adds the enter-tainment provided by Thom and Laurene Duff-Bailey of Nice ‘n’ Easy, and the Highland Dancers was fantastic and a real hit with the seniors.
“The entertainers make the evening so much fun.”
Pinkney gave a spe-cial thank-you to Royal LePage for handing out
the tickets and making all of the “wonderful” centrepieces that were handed out to seniors during an end-of-the-evening draw.
Seniors dinner enjoyed by 350 special guests
After a day of preparation for the annual Seniors Dinner at the 100 Mile Community Hall on Dec. 1, the first wave of servers wait for the OK to take the salad out to he waiting seniors.

Learn to stay injury free on and off the ice
Sandy Davidson at Royal LePage 100 Mile Realty added another toy to the growing pile for the Christmas Helper Event. People have until Dec. 19 to donate gift toys, which will be dispersed before Christmas to several social service organizations and specific families that are in need.
Along with hotdogs, homemade chili and pies, smiles and laughs were served up by Beth Hesse, left, Jan Baker, Caroline Sharpe and Colleen Lee at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church annual Tea and Bazaar. Funds raised support the many charities the 100 Mile House church supports in Canada and overseas.
Lone Butte Volunteer Fire Department chief Jaret Scott welcomed Caroline Plant to his recruitment booth at the recent Community
Employment Services Open House. The event provided Work BC program
information, local job postings, training opportunities, insight on the labour market
and networking.

Even though the Vancouver Canucks are not on the ice, a lot of British Columbians, both the young and the young-at-heart, have returned to play hockey.
When lacing up for early morning or late night practices and games, safety needs to be a priority for every-one. The Physiotherapy Association of BC has compiled four tips to help players stay injury and pain free while play-ing Canada’s favourite game.
“Before you or your child even step on to the ice, make sure you are well equipped,” says Rebecca Tunnacliffe, CEO of the Physiotherapy Association of BC.
“Getting fitted with the right equipment helps to prevent injury from muscle imbalance, flying pucks, body contact and accidental collisions.”
She adds it is impor-tant to be mindful about how to prevent giving or receiving a concussion.
“If you or a member of your family gets a concussion, your phys-iotherapist can design a program to ensure a safe return to the ice.”
Here are some top tips:
• A dynamic warm up has been shown to be a powerful factor in reducing injury. Start with five to 10 minutes of large muscle activity, such as a few slow laps of the rink, stair climb-ing or some spins on a stationary bike.
• Muscles used repetitively in hockey create large imbalances
in strength and tight-ness. Stretch tight muscles and strengthen weak ones. You can reduce muscle strain by wearing properly fitted equipment, especially the helmet and shoulder pads. Be sure your stick is the right length.
• Hockey specific off-ice training exercises will improve control of
your neck, spine and pelvis, and will help with skating, puck skills and safe body contact.
• Always approach the boards on an angle not straight on. Avoid the danger zone by being on the boards or three-four feet away from them. Never check from behind or make suicide passes.

Ten Thousand Villages fair trade world craft sale co-ordinator Laura Baerg is ecstatic about strong community support shown for the
recent event, which saw sales of just under $25,000. Nearly all of the items offered at the four-day event at Marmot Ridge sold. She said
people of the South Cariboo should be excited about helping to make such a difference in the lives of the artisans in developing countries
who crafted the items.

Local champion fundraiser Stan Matthews is on his way to Timmy’s Telethon this week-end, where he will appear on television to receive an award. The presentation will air some-time between 6 and 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 9, and while Matthews says he doesn’t know the nature of the award, he’s aware it’s for his hard work and dedication over a decade of fundraising for Easter Seal Houses.Matthews was the top fund-raiser for the British Columbia
Lions Society for Children with Disabilities for a decade, through the Snowarama/Fishing derby events of the Interlakes/Highway 24 Lions Club, until he retired last year. “I’ve been the high money man for B.C. for the last 10 years.”
When he goes to Timmy’s Telethon, Matthews will bring along a $500 donation from Sanders Redi-Mix Ltd., a $400 cheque from the Clinton Lions Club and a $200 contribution from himself, he says.“I’m very pleased about it, but
I don’t know what I am going to say [on live T.V.],” Matthews says, chuckling. “You’ve got three minutes to talk, but what are you going to say?”The funds from the annual Snowarama snow-mobile touring events are combined with pledges col-lected by ice-fishing derby participants for Easter Seal Houses in B.C.Located in Vancouver, Victoria and Prince George, Easter Seal Houses provide 40,000 bed-nights each year for families of sick children in hospital to stay nearby, avoiding almost $300 a
day for hotel costs.Prior to his work in the South Cariboo, Matthews says he also served a decade as the top fun-draiser for the Prince George Knights of Columbus Egg-a-Thon, to help children in the burn unit at B.C. Children’s Hospital.Matthews once raised $32,000 at an Egg-a-Thon breakfast for eating just one egg, but he says other years he ate up to 110 eggs for the charity event.He has moved his snowmo-bile activities a little southward, he notes, and is now an active member of the Clinton Snowmobile Club.

New Prosperity project EIS deemed deficient
Review panel decision attracted Taseko objections
Carole Rooney
Free Press
The Canadian Environmental
Assessment Agency’s Federal
Review Panel has rejected
the Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) submitted for
the proposed New Prosperity
Gold–Copper project.
Brian Battison, Taseko
Mines Ltd. vice-president of
corporate affairs, says the com-
pany disagrees with the panel’s
demand for additional cumu-
lative effects assessments.
“There is no major deficiency with
respect to cumulative effects in our
EIS. So, our view is they’re asking for
something they already have.”
In a Nov. 29 letter to Taseko, review
panel chair Bill Ross stated the panel
needs more information based on a
Department of Fisheries and Oceans
(DFO) report on a sufficiency review
of the EIS’ draft lake productivity
information.
Taseko senior vice-president of
operations John McManus had dis-
puted the need for more
scientific research and data in
a Nov. 27 letter to the panel.
“... it is discouraging the
panel has used an apparent
technicality to stop the time-
line remaining for the panel
to complete it’s review,” said
McManus.
Ross acknowledged
Taseko’s protest in his
response, but said the panel won’t
budge on its decision.
“The Panel disagrees, and finds
Taseko’s cumulative effects assess-
ment methodology and, accordingly,
the EIS deficient,” explained Ross.
“According to the Terms of Reference
and the act, the panel may require the
information that it deems necessary
to assess the project.”
The information request (IR)
points to shortcomings in productiv-
ity models assuming a phosphorus
limitation in Fish Lake; and the future
impacts of global warming, lake
eutrophication (water bodies receive
excess nutrients that
stimulate excessive
plant growth) and recir-
culation of lake on its
thermal regimes and
productivity.
While it does delay
the whole project,
Battison notes any panel
information requests
stop the 12-month
timeline government
granted to Taseko for
it’s current proposal.
“Having been through this before,
we knew it would be a long process.
“Information requests are routine.
This is ... a normal course of events in
a panel review.”
However, he explains that while it
was not unprepared to receive an IR,
Taseko was surprised to see it charac-
terized it as a “major deficiency.”
The panel’s job isn’t to decide if
the information is accu-
rate, he explained, but
rather to determine if the
information provided is
sufficient to go to public
hearing.Taseko will now
regroup before going
back again to the panel
for another round in “the
sufficiency argument,”
Battison adds.
He notes there are
more than 20,000 pages
of scientific information in the EIS

Remembering loved ones by lighting a bulb on the 100 Mile District Hospice Palliative Care Society Memory Tree is an annual ritual for many,
including Tianna King, middle and Vanessa Manuel, right. They were in Cariboo Mall on Nov. 30 lighting up memories of King’s grandpa and
uncle. Hospice program director Gayle Dunsmuir was in the mall that day exchanging colourful Christmas bulbs for cash donations, and vol-
unteers will be back again on Dec. 7-8. Bulbs are also available at Donex until Dec. 12. On Dec. 14, the official Memory Tree beside the fire hall
will be lit during a ceremony in the hospital cafeteria at 6 p.m.

No wonder so many people with CF stop breathing

Non-profit groups have received a reprieve and will now be allowed to use liquor for fun-draisers, with certain limitations.
Energy, Mines and Natural Gas Minister Rich Coleman has con-firmed the province will take a “common sense” approach allowing non-profit organizations to conduct fundraising, using gift baskets or similar items that have liquor as one of its com-ponents.
The law will be per-manently clarified by legislative changes at a later date.
The new approach enables charities and non-profits to con-duct certain types of fundraising, such as auctions, using liquor provided it is a part of a gift basket or an equiv-alent basket of goods. The liquor must have been commercially pro-duced and must not be consumed at the event.
Currently, British Columbia law requires anyone who sells liquor to be licensed and for the liquor sold under that licence to be pur-chased from the Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) or another approved outlet, such as a B.C. winery.
Charities that wish to fundraise using only liquor, without other items as a primary com-ponent of a basket, will have to wait until new legislation is in place. For those organiza-tions, a special occasion licence will continue to be required and the liquor will have to be purchased through the LDB.
The B.C. Liberal government is modern-izing liquor laws in B.C. because many federal and provincial liquor
laws have been around since Prohibition. Other changes made since February include: Liquor in Theatres reg-ulations now provide flexibility to live-event venues and revises liquor laws for movie theatres.
Corkage or Bring Your Own Bottle
changes provide oppor-tunities for restaurant customers who want to bring their own wine into a licensed dining establishment.
Under the penalties for bootlegging, police and liquor inspectors now have the ability to issue $575 tickets to people found giving or
serving liquor to any-one under the age of 19.
The Personal Importation of Liquor into B.C. Regulations now allow B.C. resi-dents to bring back an unlimited amount of 100 per cent Canadian wine if it is for per-sonal consumption and purchased from a recog-
nized winery in another province, or choose to have it shipped from the winery directly to their home.
They also allow B.C. residents returning from another Canadian province to bring back on-their-person up to nine litres of wine, three litres of spirits, and a combined total of 25.6 litres of beer, cider or coolers for personal consumption.
More about the rules for liquor licensing in BC can be found at www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/lclb/LLinBC/indes.htm.

Whether your loved ones are across the city or the world, Canada Post will be tackling the busiest season of the year, processing almost 1 billion pieces of mail by the time Christmas rolls in.
As Canadians prepare to ship their gifts this season, Canada Post provides its list of holi-day mailing tips:
• Good packing pre-vents delays and damage, so use the right size box and centre your item.
• Wrap fragile items – newspaper, bubble wrap or foam will protect them on their journey.
• Wrap your parcel in
plain paper.• Don’t use string
or twine – it can get caught in the processing machines.
• Make sure the address is written clear-ly and on the largest side of your parcel.
• Mark your calendar.To get your shipments
to their destination before the big day, keep these deadlines in mind:
In Canada: for cards, send locally by Dec. 17, within province by Dec. 18, out of province by Dec. 19. Send parcels by Dec. 10.
Mailing to the United States: send letters and cards by Dec. 14 and
parcels by Dec. 10.International ship-
ping: deadlines vary depending on the region. In general, allow three weeks for cards – longer for some areas.
Allow four weeks for parcels. If you miss a deadline, don’t panic. Canada Post offers premium services with shorter delivery times worldwide.
