In the wake of cancelled recesses in 20 school districts across the province, South Cariboo schools remain virtually unaffected during the current job action.

Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers Association pres-ident Murray Helmer says it is pretty much “status quo” for schools in the south end of School District #27 (SD27).

Recess time is adequately supervised under a

Labour Relations Board ruling that teachers must help with this when administration would other-wise need to travel more than 45 minutes to do so.

Helmer notes teachers are assisting in watching over students during recess at 100 Mile House, Horse Lake and Mile 108 elementary schools. Meanwhile, Forest Grove, Bridge Lake and Lac la Hache elementary schools are small enough for

the principal to handle recess supervision, he adds.No field trips are happening anywhere, includ-

ing in the South End, unless they were planned before the current job action.

SD27 superintendent Mark Thiessen says this is because teachers are not submitting paperwork to principals as part of Stage 1 of job action.

“Because of this, no new field trips that haven’t been approved already [prior to April 23] will be able to take place until this withdrawal of services has been lifted.”

Foresight for community's

future100 Mile House planning surrounds resident visions

Carole rooneyFree Press

The District of 100 Mile House is inviting local resi-dents to provide their input for a local sustainability plan.

Comments and ideas for how the community might best evolve will then help form a long-term strategy for 100 Mile House.

Mayor Mitch Campsall encourag-es residents to think ahead about what they see as their future needs, and then get involved in the planning process.

“This is a great chance to envision what a prosper-ous, vibrant and sustainable 100 Mile House looks like to you. Think 50 years ahead – what kind of shared future do we want for our com-munity?”

The process will be facili-tated with the District by Smart Planning for Communities (SPC), a

Fraser Basin Council part-nership program.

District planner Joanne Doddridge says the local project has been dubbed Miles Ahead – 100 Mile House Sustainability Plan.

It involves gathering pub-lic input and ideas on how to sustain the community, from

its economy and industry to clean water and senior’s needs, she explains.

“We have been looking to do an Integrated C o m m u n i t y Sustainability Plan (ICSP) for a long time. And, Fraser

Basin Council offers a pro-gram where they will help fund an ICSP plan for very small rural communities.”

The District will be col-lecting comments from local residents, mostly those with-in the municipality, but also some in its fringe communi-ties, Doddridge adds.

“An ICSP is a big, over-arching vision of what we all

The much-maligned tem-porary foreign worker (TFW) program, currently

under review by the federal gov-ernment, plays an essential role in staffing different sectors of the 100 Mile House economy.

Employment Minister Jason Kenney slapped a moratorium on the use of the program in the food services sector in April after allega-tions of serious abuses in the fast food industry came to light, and the practice of hiring foreign workers was thrust back into the minds of many Canadians.

In a news release announcing the moratorium, Kenney says the gov-ernment has been clear: “Canadians must have the first chance at avail-able jobs.”

The minister goes on to say any employer found to have violated the rules of the program will face seri-ous consequences.

“Those employers who are found to have lied about their efforts to hire Canadians could face potential criminal prosecution with sanc-tions that include fines and jail time.”

While the moratorium will affect some employers in the area, others, like the local Tim Hortons restau-rant, have gotten along without the program.

100 Mile House Tim Hortons owner Stephen MacPhail says they’ve been “fortunate” to hire locally.

“I know there are a lot of restau-rants out there in the food services sector that have hired TFWs. I know Tim’s is very stringent with how it deals with the program. I’ve been fortunate here that our labour market has been healthy enough and I’ve never had to get into it.”

(At the corporate level, Tim Hortons recently expanded its over-sight of the program, and took over two of its locations after claims of abuse by some of its employees in Fernie and Blairmore, Alta.)

Some employers in 100 Mile House haven’t been as fortunate.

Owners of the local Subway restaurant say the program is neces-sary to attract staff willing to work essential hours.

“It’s really hard getting full-time staff members here,” says Lucky Pannu, co-owner of the 100 Mile House Subway, which employs three TFWs.

“The majority of the employees we get are students. The students move on and most of them have trouble being [there to open and close the restaurant]. They usually want a middle [of the day] shift, or

a weekend shift.”According to the British

Columbia Federation of Labour, there are close to 70,000 temporary foreign workers in the province. A report released last month by the C.D. Howe Institute estimates about 340,000 TFWs are employed across Canada.

The program is designed to help employers fill high- or low-skilled positions with eligible foreign workers for a limited period of time. However, employers must first demonstrate they can’t find a Canadian to fill the job.

Some critics say the program keeps wages artificially low in some sectors because TFWs work for less money, and it’s easy for new employees to be exploited as they’re beholden to their employers for residency. Proponents say the pro-gram is necessary to fill shortages in the labour force.

Restaurants Canada addressed the federal government’s suspen-sion of the program. The lobby group, also known as the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association, states it was disap-pointed with the minister’s decision.

“In areas of the country with severe labour shortages, the TFW program is vital, allowing restau-rants to remain in business, and to continue to provide jobs for their Canadian employees. The major-ity of restaurant operators using the program operate in complete compliance and it is unfortunate that their businesses and employees will be hurt by this broad-stroke approach.”

Pannu, who has operated the local Subway for 10 years, says the people they hire don’t stick around

very long, and she can’t force people to work the shifts they don’t want to work.

She adds the government should be focusing on unemployment, and “not [removing] those who are will-ing to work.”

The main employment drivers in the Cariboo are in health care, social services, natural resource industries and food services, according to a labour market out-look document prepared by Work BC.

Labour shortages in the Cariboo are expected to be highest from 2011 to 2016.

Speaking on behalf of the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce, vice-chair Leon Chretien says TFWs are important and necessary for the South Cariboo.

“In any economic area in which we all want a continued higher stan-dard of living, there will be a need for [TFWs].This need goes beyond the food industry and stretches into the trades industry and, obviously, the medical industry.

“Much of the need with foreign workers is not simply to have some-one to work at lesser wages, but simply to have someone to work with the required skill set.”

Dr. Werner Schoeman, a family physician in 100 Mile House, is one of the people Chretien is talking about. Schoeman relocated from South Africa to practice medicine here near the end of 2012, when there was no Canadian doctor up for the job.

His TFW permit expires in 2015, and he has applied for permanent residency. Schoemen says he has been listening to the news reports, and notes the issue is a “conten-

tious” one, and a “tough” one, especially for the foreign workers taking the jobs many Canadians don’t want, like the ones in the fast-food sector.

“They’re sort of getting the raw end of the deal now. I don’t think there’s a cookie-cutter approach [to fixing the program].

“There are a lot of different situ-ations. I think people should be careful not to make generalizations.”

A number of doctors practic-ing in 100 Mile House and in the health-care field in rural commu-nities across Canada are recruited through the TFW program.

“You’ll find most of the South African physicians who come into the country come firstly on a tem-porary work permit, exactly like the workers from the Philippines and the other guys coming to work at McDonald’s and so forth. I think the physicians probably get treated a bit differently in terms of the pro-cess.”

Kimberly Vance-Lundsbye is the South Cariboo Welcoming Communities co-ordinator with the Cariboo-Chilcotin Partners for Literacy Society, which works with immigrants in the area. The orga-nization doesn’t know how many TFWs are employed in 100 Mile House, she says.

However, she adds there’s “a level of speculation” locally with respect to TFWs.

“Let’s remember that any indi-vidual working in our community is not personally responsible for any policies set by the government. All workers are deserving of the same respectful and welcoming treatment that any person would expect in the Cariboo.”

Dr. Werner Schoeman is one of several physicians practicing in the Cariboo

that was recruited through the temporary foreign

worker program.

The paving of Birch Avenue has begun and the rotating road clo-sures have caused some disruptions and loss of revenue for some busi-nesses along the strip.

District of 100 Mile House operations direc-tor Phil Strain says he hasn’t heard any complaints from the business owners since the work started.

Noting he talked and handed out notices to all of the merchants along Birch Avenue from First to Fourth streets prior to the work beginning on Saturday (May 10), Strain says he explained how the work was going to be done.

He adds the only merchant who gave him negative feedback dur-ing this process was Eddi Bjornson of Exquisite Florals & Gift because the contractor, Peters Bros. Construction, was grinding the road-way on the day before Mother’s Day.

“It was unfortunate because that is her busy time and she was wor-ried her delivery vehicle wouldn’t be able to get in on Saturday before Mother’s Day. I told her to tell the traffic control people that she had to have someone come in to make deliveries.”

However, Bjornson says the disruption def-initely had a negative impact on her business.

While she hasn’t added up the numbers, she adds Mother’s Day is her biggest day of the year and she knows she lost money.

“I’ll have to wait until Christmas for my next

busy time.”Bjornson says it was

an issue for her deliv-ery person who had to park in the Lakewood Inn parking lot and then they had to walk the flowers to the park-ing lot so they could be delivered.

“It was very incon-venient for any of my customers to make it down to me on Saturday. Even with the customers who bought flowers on Saturday, our employees had to carry their flowers for them.”

Noting it definitely affected her walk-in customers on Saturday, Bjornson says Strain knew there was a prob-lem when she talked to him on the Tuesday before the roadwork started.

“I know it had to get done, but I think it was poor planning to start it on that Saturday.”

Strain says Peters Bros. Construction has a good outfit and “we’re doing it with the minimum dis-

ruption we can.”He adds they are

blocking off the roads one block at a time and the flaggers are rerout-ing motorists to the most convenient park-ing areas.

Noting the sidewalks are still open for pedes-trians, he says shoppers can park a block away and get to the business-es they want to shop at.

“If we didn’t block it off a block at a time, it would take us twice as long to get the job done. While there is disrup-tion, this is the quickest way to get in and get out.”

If the weather holds out, the operations director says they hope to have the paving com-pleted by tomorrow (May 15).

The top lift of pave-ment started going on at First Street on May 13 and will go all the way up to Horse Lake Road.

Karen Lawrence, who is the manager at JD’s Styling Salon, says she didn’t have any prob-lems with the paving project.

“We all want upgrades to the town, so you have to go through it. Sometimes this is what you have to put up with when you want to have changes.”

A&B Photo owner Allan Roberts says it is definitely affecting busi-ness, “but I don’t have any concerns because for these things to go forward, there’s always going to be a little dis-comfort.

“When you think in the long term, not only will your business do well but the main street of our town is going to look incredible. I think as a businessman, you’re being disrupted in the short term but in the long term, I think every

business on this street is going to gain.

Exeter Sporting Goods owner Jude Dion says he doesn’t think blocking the road is ever a good thing, but it had to be done.

“It’s better now than doing it in July, August or September. I don’t know what they could do to make it better because there is still traffic flowing through.

“They have half the town ripped up but we’re still getting cus-tomers. So, maybe they could pave at night ... but I don’t think that is an [option] but it would be the only thing better in my world.”

The Victims Bill of Rights Act recently introduced in the House is intended to cor-rect gaps in the system identified during inves-tigations into Canada’s missing and murdered women.

K a m l o o p s -Thompson-Nicola MP Cathy McLeod was on Ottawa’s Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women, which recently released a report with its findings and recom-

mendations.She says the proposed

legislation sets down clear rights for victims that were not there previously, and reflects some of the com-mittee’s key recommenda-tions.

“When I was on the com-mittee looking into the very tragic issue of murdered and miss-ing Aboriginal women, we had an opportunity to hear directly from the families. We heard many,

many times ... how, as victims there were some real gaps for them.

“So I am real-ly proud of this piece of legis-lation that is moving forward.”

The Victims Bill of Rights Act would create four statutory rights for victims of crime: the right to information, pro-

tection, participation and restitution, she explains.

Most revolve around the sharing of informa-tion with victims about the criminal justice

system, court cases, sen-tencing and conditional releases of the person who harmed them.

It includes stronger protections for victims’ privacy and safety during all stages of the crimi-nal justice process, and allows them to comment on court decisions and provide a victim’s state-ment.

It would provide vic-tims with the ability to ask the court to order restitution for offences with easily calculated financial losses.

The legislation would also ensure a complaint

process is in place for breaches of these rights.

McLeod notes the committee’s exten-sive consultations with victims and victims’ advocate groups took place all across Canada.

“This is what I’ve heard from victims across the country, and the different groups. What we did is develop the legislation around some very clear mes-sages that we heard.”

The act seeks to create distinct statutory rights at the federal level for victims of crime for the first time in Canada’s history.

want to see 100 Mile be like in the future. It’s not intended to be prescrip-tive.”

The munici-pal planner says this vision might be of 50 to 100 years down the road, which is a lon-ger-term view than seen in some munici-palities’ plans.

Discussions around local values and visions will cover most aspects of the commu-nity, such as economic stability, hous-ing, seniors needs, recreational development and environmen-tal management, Doddridge adds.

“Maybe we want a strong agriculture base, maybe we want the drinking water, maybe we want the seniors to have access to all of the services they need.”

She explains a survey and other conversations to be held in public places around town will seek answers to some high-level questions about what folks would like to see sustained down the road.

“Then, we will take that and distil it a bit and see if we can find some common themes.”

Following that step, a workshop will be

held near the middle of June during which break-out groups will hash out more common themes for the sustain-

ability plan, she notes.

SPC pro-gram manager Joan Chess says she sees public engagement as a core step in this planning process.

“Community input is so impor-tant in creating a plan with residents and com-munity leaders that can be used for several

generations and truly prepare communities for a more sustainable future.”

Outreach events will start during the week of May 19. Watch for surveys and the dates

for open houses, and get more informa-tion or provide your input online, at the Miles Ahead link on the district website at www.100milehouse.com.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has intro-duced amendments to Bill 24, the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) Act, which con-sider the recent input from residents and agri-cultural sector leaders in the province.

Letnick says he reviewed written feedback of British Columbians and also took into account the results of his meetings with industry leaders before amending the proposed act.

“The comments expressed are as diverse as the province itself and have been very use-

ful in my deliberations.“The amendments

allow the ALC chair or regional panel to refer applications to the ALC’s execu-tive committee, if the chair determines that a decision could have substantial impact on the ALR (Agricultural Land Reserve).”

That executive com-mittee consists of a chair and six vice-chairs, one from each region.

Letnick explains the criteria for what “sub-stantial impacts” involve will be clearly defined in regulation. He provides examples of applications with inter-regional sig-nificance, major land or large infrastructure con-siderations, new types

of applications that have not been considered before, or when the local panel decides it should be heard by the provin-cial committee.

Local cattleman/farmer Rod Hennecker has voiced his objec-tions to the ALC amendments proposed in the act, and he says the recent tweaks don’t alter his opinion that it should be scrapped and rewritten.

He notes the creation of the separate Zone 2 (North, Interior and Kootenay) allowing commercial develop-ment on properties in the ALR remains a fore-most concern.

“They’re not walking away from this two-

zone thing. And, I think the regional panels are still troublesome. They are open to conflict of interest.”

Hennecker adds Letnick’s brief release is ambiguous to the point that he wonders if the decision to take an application to the provincial level is going to be left up to the regional chairs, and then up to the ALC chair to determine if it will be brought to the board.

“They don’t men-tion [if] there will be a mechanism for the pub-lic to appeal a decision.”

An order in coun-cil will appoint people on the regional panels, Hennecker notes, leav-

ing it open to stacking of participants.

“Government is mak-ing the decisions, and they can’t help them-selves but to appoint their ‘kind’ of people.”

Letnick adds other changes in the act include outlining clear criteria the commis-sion must consider in all land-use decisions in Zone 2.

At the top of that pri-ority list is determining whether the proposal meets with the purpos-es of the commission, which the minister defines as the preserva-tion of agricultural land, encouraging farming and enabling farm use on agricultural land.

This reconfirms the ALC’s priority of pre-serving farming and ensuring panels make decisions in the best interests of agriculture, Letnick explains.

Hennecker says this modification is yet another piece of propa-ganda.

“I just don’t think it is good enough, I don’t agree with it, and I don’t believe their assump-tion that it’s going to help agriculture.”

He notes his concerns

with the ALC changes – before or after Letnick’s revisions – are shared by many others across the province who make their living in farming and ranching.

Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents.

Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia.

The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high.

The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet.

“The government of British Columbia deserves significant praise for a program that helps break down one of the last barriers to full connectivity in the province – namely the high cost of broadband installation in remote parts of BC. Now, even the most remote British Columbians can affordably benefit from the transformative power of high-speed Internet to connect them to the global economy,” said Xplornet President Allison Lenehan.

Xplornet is the country’s leading rural broadband Internet provider and takes pride in connecting over 200,000 Canadians to the world. The commitment to offering every Canadian reliable, affordable and fast Internet is shared by an ever-expanding network of over 450 local dealers, including 60 in British Columbia alone.

For more information about Xplornet high-speed Internet and how you may benefit from the British Columbia Broadband Satellite Initiative, visit xplornet.com or call 855-494-1079. For complete details on the British Columbia Broadband Initiative please visit www.gov.bc.ca/bcbroadbandsatellite.

Since principals cannot receive and approve the necessary field trip applications from teachers, there would be no documenta-tion in place for field trips to go ahead, Thiessen adds.

“Unfortunately, this may mean that students will not be able to participate in field trips they have been looking forward to already.”

However, Helmer says the school board’s own policy stipulates that for any overnight field trips, paperwork must be

submitted two months ahead – “so were already planned up until the end of this school year.”

“Anybody who was anticipat-ing going somewhere would have had the paperwork in prior to the start of May ... if the board was sticking with its timeline.”

Day trips don’t need to be planned ahead, he notes, so won’t have any interruptions under the current phase of job action.

Noting anything that is extra-curricular is voluntary (such as sports teams travelling to games), he says those are also unaffected,

and not part of any overriding Stage 1 job action mandate.

Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School Graduation celebrations are not teacher-organized, so won’t be affected either, Helmer adds.

He explains any grad cer-emonies that happen at the school are handled by adminis-tration, and any offsite events, such as the prom at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, are orga-nized by parents.

“If teachers want to take part it is voluntary to do so – there will be no effect.”

If you’re not leaving town for the May long week-end (May 17-19), there is a lot going on in 100 Mile House to keep all of us entertained.

In fact, if you are having family or friends visiting you for the Victoria Day long weekend, bring them to town to enjoy Western Heritage Week, which runs May 12-19.

If you don’t have anyone visiting, then please make sure you come to town and be a part of, and enjoy, the excitement of being a resident of 100 Mile House and the surrounding area.

After the absence of the Little Britches Parade for a couple of years, area businessman Allan Roberts has worked hard to get it started again.

The parade has always been the unofficial kickoff to the summer tourist season, and it marked the end of spring and “mud season” and a time to welcome all of the seasonal residents back to the South Cariboo.

Roberts has already got a lot of entrants to the May 17 parade, including horses and riders, car clubs, 4-H clubs, the Canim Lake Band, local dignitaries and emergency responders.

A special guest for this year's parade is Sunrise Sam who is the 100 Mile House Wranglers brand new of-ficial mascot. Everyone will be looking forward to see this high-energy fellow.

This event needs everyone’s support; so if you want to be in the parade, registration forms are available at A&B Photo and 100 Mile Feed and Ranch.

Otherwise, come on down to Birch Avenue and line the streets, but come earlier to get a spot. The parade starts from Save-On-Foods at 10 a.m. sharp and pro-ceeds south to Fifth Street and then doubles back to the grocery store along Cedar Avenue.

The same day, the always-popular 48th Annual Little Britches Rodeo starts at 9 a.m. and runs to around 5 p.m.

The 100 Mile & District Outriders Club hosts the event in its rodeo arena behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Airport Road.

This is where folks can get a glimpse of the next crop of rodeo stars and enjoy some great entertain-ment.

Speaking of rodeos, the South Cariboo Rodeo Asso-ciation (SCRA) is hosting the 100 Mile BCRA Rodeo on May 18-19, and folks are going to enjoy seeing some the best cowboys in the province trying to stay on the best rough stock in British Columbia, starting at 1 p.m. each day.

The cowgirls will be riding, roping and racing for prize money and the times will be fast.

The SCRA is also hosting a fundraising dinner/dance at Jakes Pub in 100 Mile House on May 17.

Speaking of dances, the Hun City Hunnies will be hosting the Creedence Revived concert fundraiser at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on May 18, starting at 7 p.m.

Western Heritage Week celebration

“Today’s BC Liberals” may have taken

some inspiration during last year’s election campaign from former prime minister Kim Campbell when she said that “an election is no time to discuss serious issues.”

It’s why British Columbians could be forgiven for thinking they missed something during the campaign after seeing some of the legislation introduced during the current session of the B.C. legislature.

In some cases, “Today’s BC Liberals” didn’t even communicate some of their plans through a Monty Python “Know what I mean? Nudge, nudge. Say no more” sketch.

And if they did stake out a position, many of their words run counter to what they’re doing now - firmly ensconced back in office.

Here’s what they said last year about the Agricultural

Land Reserve: “In 2011, we reaffirmed our commitment to the ALR with amendments to the ALC Act and $1.6 million in additional one-time funding in order to strengthen compliance and enforcement and provide additional resources.”

Nothing there about creating a two-tier land reserve.

Trawling for votes in B.C.’s coastal communities, this is what they said about BC Ferries: “...we need to do more to ensure coastal communities have access to a high quality ferry service that affordably meets the needs of the travelling public.”

Not a hint about service cuts, scrapping free senior travel or putting a glorified tugboat on the Discovery Coast ferry route for the

nine-hour trip to Bella Coola.

In the couple of months the B.C. legislature has sat in 2014, the government has tabled 26 pieces of legislation.

One bill would create that two-tiered Agricultural Land Reserve. Another allows research in B.C. parks, for what and by whom is still a mystery.

Another bill will freeze the status of 17 B.C. ridings ostensibly because

of their rural nature, but in a bizarre twist the two ridings in Prince George and the two in Kamloops became vast, remote ridings and are thrown in as well.

All of these bills are being debated in a matter of hours. Eleven have passed third reading.

It’s not a stretch to

imagine that there was more debate over Speaker Linda Reid’s $733 muffin and snack rack than there was over the Park Amendment Act.

So why the rush?The ALR has existed

for more than 40 years. If the government’s plans are as innocuous as their talking points make them out to be, a few months of consultation won’t upset the apple cart.

No one expects an election campaign can touch on every issue, but when it does and the party that wins completely reverses course, voters might feel like they were taken for fools.

But then maybe it is the fault of B.C. voters for not fully appreciating that the B.C. Liberals might have been quite literal when they used the term “Today’s BC Liberals” throughout the last campaign.

Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC.

GUEST SHOT

2007


To the editor: How many more scandals will

it take before the Conservatives finally get serious about fixing the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), so it does not take jobs from Canadians?

We recently learned the govern-ment gave a positive labour market opinion for a pizza restaurant in Weyburn, Sask. that had its exist-ing employees train temporary

foreign workers (TFWs) and then fired those Canadian workers.

These actions violate the basic purpose of the program – to pro-vide workers to fill shortages only in situations where Canadians can-not be found to fill the vacancies.

For years, the Conservatives turned a blind eye to this sort of abuse. During the recession, just as hundreds of thousands of Canadian workers lost their jobs,

the number of TFWs rose dramati-cally, almost doubling by the end of 2012.

It was only when the nega-tive press surrounding RBC and a British Columbia mine got too intense that the Conservatives were forced to do something. Yet, it clearly hasn’t solved the problem.

We are seeing the Conservatives pretending they are serious about fixing the program. Yet, their

actions do not match their rheto-ric.

The government won’t even begin an audit of the program until 2015/16, and it has set no deadline for completing it.

We need to get to the root of the problem. The number of abuses suggests there are very few safeguards in place to ensure the TFWP is used correctly and does not displace Canadian workers.

That’s why I wrote to the Auditor General to request an audit of its safeguards as quickly as possible so we can strengthen them to prevent this sort of abuse.

Canadians expect more from political leaders than just words. Hopefully, the Conservatives will finally get the memo.

John McCallum, MP

Liberal Immigration Critic

To the editor:It should come as no surprise

to Rod Hennecker that this gov-ernment wants to see more land removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

With the [B.C. Liberal] govern-ment basing its whole fiscal plan on the development of the lique-fied natural gas (LNG) industry, which when or if it is developed,

any financial benefits will be years down the road, they are in a des-perate hunt for money any place they can find it.

Land removed from the ALR will be taxed much higher than it would have been as ALR land, adding substantially more money to government coffers.

It’s the same as we are seeing with all the other increases tak-

ing place, such as BC Hydro rates, ICBC. rates, Medical premiums, Carbon Taxes, and the list goes on.

We are now paying taxes on taxes. (But according to B.C. Liberal government no tax increas-es.)

These governments – be it federal, provincial, municipal or regional – do not seem to realize that the middle income and lower

income worker along with those on fixed incomes have no more to give.

We are steadily falling further behind.

If we, as consumers, are losing our disposable income because of the government stealing too much from us, how does the government expect to have the economy grow when the consumer has no money

to spend on goods and services?What everyone must remember

is that government or business do not create jobs.

They may employ people, but in the end, it is the consumer that cre-ates the jobs. One has only to look at Detroit City for proof of this.

Liberals in a desperate 'hunt" for funds

To the editor:I’ve been walking around

our [100 Mile Marsh] watch-ing all the birds come in, and as the snow and ice disap-peared, I was disgusted to see all the junk showing up.

There were plastic bags, foam food containers, papers

of all kinds and description.Why are people doing this?We are so lucky to have

such a natural site so close to town where everyone can enjoy it.

Why mess it up and endan-ger the birds and animals like that and make it look like a

dump? There are two nice, new garbage containers set up in strategic places – why not use them?

People wouldn’t do this to their own backyards.

To the editor:On May 9 when I was on my daily walk

on First Avenue, the heart and lung spe-cialist told me to do it every day, I noticed the men were taking down the boards from the sidewalk.

I said, “Oh heck,” and walked down the glorious pathway of cement.

A young man who came out from Lordco and he had a smile and said, “We

were the first ones to walk on the side-walk.”

Now, for Birch Avenue. I have been waiting since 1972 to have it finished. So, congratulations to everybody who had a hand in completing it.

Well done!

Opinion

The NDP’s holy war against changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) got nastier last week, as it

became clear it was defenders of the status quo who were being mowed down.

Ever since legislation was tabled to divide the ALR into two zones, with greater emphasis on social and economic needs to help viability of farms in the Kootenay, Interior and North regions, almost all the protest has been from unaffected areas – much of it depends on emotion rather than fact.

In the legislature, Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog rose to praise the late Dave Stupich, who birthed the ALR sacred cow as agriculture minister in 1973. Krog likened Stupich to the Biblical Daniel for his bravery in preserving farmland for our children’s children.

Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley did his signature “jiggery pokery” routine, this time accusing cabinet minister Bill Bennett of being “giddy” at the prospect of paying off his friends with development land. Before he gets too jiggery outside the protection of the legislative chamber,

he would be well advised to find some evidence.

Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson, who at least represents an area being given broader latitude for secondary uses on farmland, warned of drought in California. The history of this is currently a hot topic in the quasi-religious climate change debate.

Meanwhile in the real British Columbia, life and farming go on under the existing farmland protection regime.

The largest ALR exclusion in B.C. history took a big step forward last week, as a federal-provincial review panel issued its report on the Site C dam proposed for the Peace River.

The panel noted the dam would flood 2,775 hectares of farmland, representing all seven categories of soil quality. Opponents use a figure about twice that size, as if all the affected land was farmable.

The panel accepted that this land, including the small amount of micro-

climate bottom land, represents 0.2 per cent of the Peace region’s farm receipts. I would add that’s because what is farmed at all is mostly growing hay, which requires minimum capital and labour.

“It has potential, to be sure, but its unique and irreplaceable contribution would be for those labour-intensive crops like vegetables, which are not remotely practical in a labour-short region,” the report states.

We have to bring in Mexican guest workers to get vegetable and fruit crops off in the Fraser Valley and Okanagan. For a five-month growing season in the bush outside Fort St. John? This is a classic example of the religious fervour that replaces

reason among the southern faithful of the ALR.

And how is the status quo working? Summerland council just voted to swap 80 hectares of flat farmland for 90 hectares further away in the Summerland hills. The town is on restricted lakeshore

terrain and the council wants to increase its urban zone, using the “community need” provisions that are enhanced by the current legislative amendments.

This was after a loud demonstration organized with the help of a fake grassroots protest machine called LeadNow, complete with slick signs and website. (LeadNow also helped round up anti-pipeline protesters this past weekend.)

The media were fooled as usual, but not Summerland council. LeadNow has moved on to lining up people to flood the Agricultural Land Commission with form letters and petitions against Summerland’s plan.

The B.C. Agriculture Council, whose board first supported and then objected to the ALR amendments, has clarified its objections. It wants flexibility for secondary uses extended to the prime farmland zones of the Okanagan, Fraser Valley and southern Vancouver Island.

Your turn…Mounties make Mother’s Day marvellous

Kamloops — a Kamloops family enjoyed mother’s Day thanks to a special delivery from the Kamloops RCmp.

In the early-morning hours of saturday may 10 — one day before mother’s Day — police responded to a complaint from a witness who had interrupted a thief breaking into their vehicle on the North shore.

While mounties were unable to find the thief, an officer did find a backpack nearby while searching the area.

The backpack contained an elementary school book, clothing and a mothers’ Day card and present.

While the school book contained the student’s name, police were faced with the challenge of find-ing the owner in time for mother’s Day — which would arrive in less than 24 hours.

according to Cpl lilianne Frechette, a number of enquiries were made and mounties were finally able to find the owner of the backpack.

The backpack was delivered to the student’s father, who expressed his gratitude, saying his daughter would have been heartbroken had she lost the card and present for her mother.

Axe wielding man arrestedNEW HaZElToN - on may 11, 2014 at

1359 hours, the New Hazelton RCmp and B.C. Conservation services responded to a complaint that a 39 year old New Hazelton man had set a vehicle on fire in the middle of Hwy 16 five kms west of Cedarvale.

Reports were received that the man was swinging an axe at passing motorists and could very well have struck some of the vehicles as they passed his point. When officers arrived the man fled to a driveway of a local residence where, after a short negotiation, he surrendered to police without incident.

New Hazelton RCmp are in consultation with Crown Counsel and will be recommending charges of possession of a weapon dangerous to the public, assault with a weapon, intimidation by blocking a highway, arson and mischief.

100 Mile House RCMP responded to 64 complaints and calls for service during the past week.

Asleep at the wheelAround 5:30 p.m.

on May 11, 100 Mile RCMP received a report of a single-vehicle inci-dent at the intersection of Highway 24 and Magnussen Road near Bridge Lake.

Emergency crews arrived at the scene. Investigation deter-mined that the driver

fell asleep, left the road-way, went down a ditch and went through a fence.

The female driver was taken by ambulance to the 100 Mile District General Hospital. No charges are being con-templated at this time.

Ditched motorcycleShortly after 5:30

p.m. on May 11, resi-dents in the area of the 5900 block of Horse Lake Road reported hearing a collision.

Passers-by stopped to assist the driver of a Honda motorcycle who had gone into the ditch and the bike had land-ed on the driver. The

motorcycle was lifted off the driver while emergency crews were responding.

The driver was assessed at the scene and taken by ambulance to hospital for unknown injuries. The driver dis-played symptoms of liquor consumption, but refused to provide a breath sample into an approved screening device.

The driver was issued an immediate roadside driving prohibition at the hospital while fur-ther medical assessments were being conducted by hospital staff. The motor-cycle was impounded for 30 days.

Dangerous drivingShortly after 8 p.m.

on May 11, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a complaint of a pos-sible impaired driver on Lynx Road in Forest Grove.

A male had appar-ently left a residence driving a Chevrolet Silverado after drink-ing. Shortly afterwards, a further report was provided about the same truck deliberately running into another vehicle and forcing it off the road near Biss Road.

When police responded to this com-plaint, a 52-year-old man was identified as the suspect driver. He

was detained for dan-gerous driving and impaired driving. Three occupants of the other vehicle were transport-ed to 100 Mile District General Hospital by ambulance for exami-nation.

The suspect was returned to the 100 Mile House RCMP detach-ment where two breath samples were obtained of 210 mg%.

The man was held in custody until sober and released on prom-ise to appear for a court date of Sept. 9 in 100 Mile House. Charges of danger-ous driving, impaired driving and driving over the legal limit are being recommend-ed to Crown.

On May 8, 100 Mile House RCMP received information from mem-bers of the Kamloops RCMP Targeted Enforcement Unit about a vehicle that was travelling north from Kamloops.

Through an ongo-ing investigation, it was believed to con-tain illegal drugs, says local RCMP Cpl. Brian Lamb.

Members of the 100 Mile House RCMP located the vehicle near 83 Mile House on Highway 97.

The vehicle was stopped and two adult male occupants from Terrace were arrested without incident for possession for the pur-pose of trafficking.

Both males were escorted to the 100 Mile House RCMP detach-ment cells. A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of approxi-mately 10 ounces of cocaine, 12 pounds of marijuana and around $1,000 in cash.

The vehicle, which was a newer model Chevrolet truck reg-istered to a female in

Terrace, and an ATV were also seized as offence-related prop-erty, Lamb notes.

Both males were released the follow-ing day on a promise to appear for court in Kamloops in August.

They have not yet been charged and, therefore, their names cannot be released at this time.

The males are not believed to be asso-ciated to the 100 Mile House area and were believed to be des-tined for Terrace, Lamb says.

The street value of illicit drugs varies in each area; however, the combined total of the drugs seized are worth approximately $50,000, he adds.

The popular Little Britches Rodeo Parade and Western Heritage Week is back up and afloat again thanks to the efforts of Allan Roberts.

After it dropped off the chart for two years, he says this year’s events have a theme of Celebrating Our Western Heritage dur-ing the week of May 12-19.

The plan is to see Birch Avenue filled with visitors, residents and guests throughout Western Heritage Week to bring shoppers in to boost area business and bring lots of attention to the events.

Roberts encourages all businesses and orga-nizations to get involved all week by dressing up the staff and storefronts with Western Heritage

costumes and decor.He says outlying com-

munities, such as Lone Butte and Interlakes, are also encouraged to join in Western Heritage Week themes.

The festivities culminate in the west-ern-themed parade and always-popular rodeos

– all happening on the May Long Weekend (May 17-19).

Registration for parade entrants is well underway and appli-cation forms can be picked up at A&B Photo and 100 Mile Feed and Ranch.

Numerous entrants

are already on board, including horses and riders, car clubs, 4-H Clubs, Canim Lake Band, local dignitar-ies and emergency responders.

Three entries for the Williams Lake Stampede Queen con-test are also signed up, he adds.

“I am really happy with the amount of par-ticipants coming in.”

Roberts says he is pleased to also have a team of magnificent Percheron draft horses that will pull a wagon in the parade.

The parade will have a special guest, as Sunrise Sam will be unveiled as the official mascot for the 100 Mile House Wranglers.

The parade starts at Save-On-Foods at

10 a.m. and proceeds south on Birch Avenue to Fifth Street and then doubles back along Cedar Avenue.

Entrants are wel-come right up until the day before, but all are advised to check ahead with Roberts for the marshalling time, so everything is ready to go when the parade begins.

The Little Britches

Rodeo Parade and Western Heritage Week are no longer a South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce initiative, but does have its full support and assistance, Roberts explains.

For more infor-mation on the Little Britches Rodeo Parade and Western Heritage Week, call Roberts at 250-395-3665 or e-mail [email protected].

The youngsters kick off rodeo season soon.

The Little Britches Rodeo in 100 Mile House is set for May 17.

The 48th annual event will see barrel rac-ing, pole bending, steer riding and breakaway roping at the Outriders Rodeo Grounds behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Airport Road.

Last year, the event drew close to 115 for contestants, aged 14 and younger.

Start time is 9 a.m. and events are expected to run to about 5 p.m.

Admission to the rodeo grounds is $10 for adults; $5 for stu-dents and seniors; and children six and under will get in free.

There will be a

greased pig contest. The prize for the winner is $50.

For more informa-tion, contact Denise Little at 250-396-7724.

The Hunnies are hoping for one heck of a show.With the 100 Mile House Rodeo in full swing on

May long weekend and expected to draw many visi-tors from out of town, local organizers anticipate a good crowd at its Creedence Revived concert at the arena on May 18.

“It’s going to be a lot of cowboys and cowgirls,” says Hun City Hunnies member Nadaya Tresierra. “It’s going to be a good ol’ country time.”

Creedence Revived, a Chicago-based Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute band, is taking the stage at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre. The show starts at 7 p.m. and features Keenan Wilcox, a singer-songwriter from Lac la Hache, as its opening act.

“We’re really excited,” says Tresierra. “It will be a really good opportunity for us to show some people who don’t live here how great it can be here. We want them to come and have a really good time in our town.”

The Hun City Hunnies are a non-profit soci-ety that organizes events and raises money for the community. Half of the proceeds from ticket sales to the concert are going to the Kindergym, a program at the 100 Mile Community Hall that pro-motes an active lifestyle for children and families.

Members of the community voiced their opin-ions online on which local organization should benefit, and Kindergym won, explains Tresierra.

“We had a pretty strong response. We’re really happy about that too because we go to Kindergym with our kids all the time.

“The people there, you can just see they’re pas-sionate about it. It’s local people who want to do something for kids and family, and they come and work hard.”

Advance tickets for the show are $30 and on sale at TW Tanning, 100 Mile Feed and Ranch, the South Cariboo Rec. Centre and The Log House.

For more information, visit the Hun City Hunnies on Facebook or at huncityhunnies.com.

Festival of the Arts outstanding

The 100 Mile Festival of the Arts 2014 included

speech arts, piano, vocal and instrumental perfor-mances at Martin Exeter Hall from April 22 to May 1.

It wrapped up on May 2 with the awards pre-sentation and Showcase Performance, featuring some of the top performers from preceding 10 days.

Festival co-chair Marilyn Buyar says the festival went very well.

While it was a very busy time, she notes there is an army of 45-50 volunteers who put in a few one- or two-hour shifts to make everything go smoothly.

One of the highlights for her was the first day of the festival when the schools came out for their speech arts performances.

“It was marvellous. It was an absolutely packed house with lots of moms and dads and grandparents – and parents who slipped away from work for 20 to 30 min-utes to catch their children’s performances.”

She adds the adjudica-tors were very good, as they gave a lot of practical feed-back and spent some time with all of the students.

Buyar also acknowledged the great work by school band teachers Vanessa

Toews (Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School) and Jasmine Kreschuk (100 Mile House and Mile 108 Elementary schools).

As for the Showcase Performance, Buyar says it was another packed house this year. She adds the adjudicators picked a great variety of performers for the evening.

“It was wonderful to just be able to sit down and real-ly appreciate the talent we have in this community.”

Noting it was a shorter show this year, Buyar says they cut it down to just over

two hours, but “we man-aged to squeeze a lot into those two hours.”

She notes the committee and the participants were very grateful to Matt Arnott of Kamloops who lent them a six-foot six-inch grand piano to use during the festival.

“It was marvellous because they all had a chance to play on an excel-lent piano ... they can play their best music when they have a good instrument.”

100 Mile House piano player Daven Mapson performed Sneaky by S. Chatman during the 100 Mile Festival of the Arts’ Showcase Performance in Martin Exeter Hall on May 2. The festival adjudicators selected the local performers who entertained an appreciative audience during the two-hour showcase.

By Dennis TupmanJack Glatzer, world-

renowned violinist, sizzled with local musi-cians in 100 Mile House on May 3.

He and I have been friends for more than 45 years, and for some reason, we cross paths frequently – in person or on the Internet.

He lives in Portugal and travels the world giving concerts. The sounds he creates on the violin are amazing. He certainly proved that in the 100 Mile Evangelical Free Church.

Glatzer joined forces with local musicians

and offered an unusual and varied program of fine and seldom-heard classical music.

Music for solo or small groups is often dubbed “chamber music” because it was the fashion in former times to perform these pieces in intimate set-tings in elaborate mansion “chambers” for the aristocracy. So, this small ensemble music with a few performers has to capture musical ideas more often heard from large groups, such as orchestras.

To begin the pro-gram, we were robustly

brought to attention by a rendition of “Trumpet Voluntary” performed by local trumpeter Brian Beattie. He then followed with the well-known “Trumpeter’s Lullaby” by the mod-ern composer Leroy Anderson.

Beattie has gener-ously entertained us in many settings since he came here a few years ago.

After this rous-

ing opening, we were offered a Wolfgang Mozart duet for violin, with Glatzer on violin and Curtis Wolfe on viola. This piece shows what the great Mozart could accomplish with small resources. A viola has a slightly darker tone than the violin.

Wolfe looked com-pletely at home with Glatzer as they confi-dently rendered this intimate yet complex

music.Next, the gently

plucked sound of the classical guitar com-petently performed by local musician Alex Zamorano. Two pieces from two different eras, the “Air on a G String” by the 18th century JS Bach, and “Prelude for a Jazz Samba” rounded out Zamorano’s enter-taining contributions.

New NDP leader John Horgan embraces economic developmentBy Tom FletcherBlack Press

British Columbia doesn’t currently need a third dam on the Peace River, and it does need a comprehensive study of the environ-mental effects of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas extraction.John Horgan staked out those positions on May 5, his first day at the legislature since being acclaimed leader of the B.C. NDP, saying he has been consistent on both since before last year’s election.On the proposal by Kinder Morgan Canada to twin its oil pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby that former NDP leader Adrian Dix suddenly opposed during the 2013 campaign, Horgan said it’s clear to him that people in Vancouver and Burnaby don’t want it. The same goes for his own constituents along the Strait of

Juan de Fuca who are concerned about a big increase in tanker traffic, he added.However, Horgan said he will wait for the current federal review process to be com-pleted before making a decision whether to support or oppose it.He also responded to Jobs Minister Shirley Bond’s challenge during question period that the NDP find some economic development project it can say yes to.“I said yes to Mount Milligan; I said yes to Red Chris,” Horgan said, referring to two northern copper mines proposed while the NDP was in government.“I said yes to expanding the Oil and Gas Commission when it was first developed in the 1990s. I believe we can have a bal-anced approach to economic development and resource development in particular.”Natural Gas Development Minister Rich

Coleman rejected suggestions of hydraulic fracturing risk to groundwater before leaving last week with Premier Christy Clark for their latest liquefied natural gas sales trip to Asia.Coleman said the industry has a spotless track record after 50 years of cementing and casing gas wells to protect water while drilling far below to extract gas from shale forma-tions.Since winning the leadership by default after his only rival, Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth, dropped out, Horgan has stressed the New Democrats need to reach out to resource communities and blue-collar workers alienated by the party’s environmen-tal positions.

Horgan said he will travel extensively as leader to build support for the party, prepar-ing it to win back support and form an NDP government in 2017.

In the wake of cancelled recesses in 20 school

districts across the province, South Cariboo

schools remain virtually unaffected during the

current job action.

Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers Association pres-

ident Murray Helmer says it is pretty much

“status quo” for schools in the south end of School

District #27 (SD27).

Recess time is adequately supervised under a

Labour Relations Board ruling that teachers must

help with this when administration would other-

wise need to travel more than 45 minutes to do so.

Helmer notes teachers are assisting in watching

over students during recess at 100 Mile House,

Horse Lake and Mile 108 elementary schools.

Meanwhile, Forest Grove, Bridge Lake and Lac la

Hache elementary schools are small enough for

the principal to handle recess supervision, he adds.

No field trips are happening anywhere, includ-

ing in the South End, unless they were planned

before the current job action.

SD27 superintendent Mark Thiessen says this is

because teachers are not submitting paperwork to

principals as part of Stage 1 of job action.

“Because of this, no new field trips that haven’t

been approved already [prior to April 23] will be

able to take place until this withdrawal of services

has been lifted.”

The District of 100 Mile

House is inviting local resi-

dents to provide their input

for a local sustainability

plan.Comments and ideas for

how the community might

best evolve will then

help form a long-

term strategy for 100

Mile House.

Mayor Mitch

Campsall encourag-

es residents to think

ahead about what

they see as their

future needs, and

then get involved in

the planning process.

“This is a great chance

to envision what a prosper-

ous, vibrant and sustainable

100 Mile House looks like to

you. Think 50 years ahead –

what kind of shared future

do we want for our com-

munity?”

The process will be facili-

tated with the District

by Smart Planning for

Communities (SPC), a

Fraser Basin Council part-

nership program.

District planner Joanne

Doddridge says the local

project has been dubbed

Miles Ahead – 100 Mile

House Sustainability Plan.

It involves gathering pub-

lic input and ideas on how to

sustain the community, from

its economy and

industry to clean

water and senior’s

needs, she explains.

“We have been

looking to do

an Integrated

C o m m u n i t y

Sustainability Plan

(ICSP) for a long

time. And, Fraser

Basin Council offers a pro-

gram where they will help

fund an ICSP plan for very

small rural communities.”

The District will be col-

lecting comments from local

residents, mostly those with-

in the municipality, but also

some in its fringe communi-

ties, Doddridge adds.

arching vision of what we all

Child-care providers throughout the prov-ince are encouraged to apply for a total of $14.8 million in major capital funding to create

new licensed child-care spaces for British Columbia children.

Non-profit child-care providers can apply for up to $500,000, while

private child-care orga-nizations can apply for up to $250,000.

Funding can be used to:

• Build a new child

care facility, including the cost of buying land or a building.

• Assemble a modular building and develop a site.

• Renovate an exist-ing building.

• Buy eligible equip-ment (including playground equipment) and furnishings to sup-port new child-care spaces in an existing facility.

Preference will be given to applica-tions that will create

child-care spaces in underserved areas of B.C., and on school grounds, where children can smoothly transi-tion from early years programs, to the class-room, to after-school care. Construction is expected to begin this fiscal year.

Applications will be

accepted during three intake periods: May 2-June 30; Sept. 1-Oct. 31; and Feb. 1-March 31, 2015.

By Reg BerringtonFolks are invited to a

Below the Belt meeting at the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre, #1-486 Birch Ave., in 100 Mile House on May 29, starting at 7 p.m.

The meeting is spon-sored by the Below the Belt Group. Members consist of survivors who have personally experienced Below the Belt diseases, such as prostrate cancer, blad-der cancer, ostomies, Crohn’s disease, colitis, non-Hodgkin’s lympho-ma and other Below the Belt issues.

The mission of Below the Belt is to help assist people in removing the mystique of their prob-lems and aid in the understanding there are many who have the same issue as they do and that they are not alone.

Unfortunately, this particular area of dis-ease seems to carry an air of embarrassment with it, and the group’s desire is to help peo-ple understand there is nothing to hold them back from having a very normal life.

Talking with others helps inform as well as release the frustration that sometimes they are unable to share with their physicians and spouses.

With just a con-fidential phone call, the group can provide people with a mentor who will share his own experience of how he managed his problems, as well as help provide supportive tips and suggestions on how to figure out the best way to deal with your prob-lems.

Below the Belt vol-unteers do not provide medical advice. They share with their person-al experiences and offer support on how they deal with your problem.

All calls are treated

with confidentiality and respect.

Why not attend this upcoming meeting with, or without, your spouse?

Remember, you are

not alone out there, so let’s start dealing with your issues.

Contact numbers are 250-791-9235, 250-791-5540 and 250-791-6616

– call today. See you at the meet-

ing!Reg Berrington is a

Local vocalist Ingrid Mapson, as I write this, is soloing with the Kamloops Symphony in “Beethoven’s 9th Symphony” on a pro-fessional assignment. In this local concert, she delighted us with the evocative “Habanera” by Georges Bizet from the opera Carmen. Her subsequent singing of the poignant song “Danny Boy” melted the audience.

A trio closed the first half of the concert and involved local pianist Jasmine Kreschuk on piano, visiting but pre-viously local Anthony Lau on harmonica and Glatzer on violin.

From these three per-formers, we received almost symphonic complexity and con-flicting musical intimacy from this lesser- known and compelling piece by the 17th centu-ry’s great W.A. Mozart - “Allegro from Oboe (harmonica) and Violin Concerto.”

This selection was a “tour de force” for the three players who were equal to the challenge.

For the second half of the program, we were treated to two monumental works. First, Kreschuk gave us a spirited rendition of Ludwig van “Beethoven’s Piano Sonata Opus 7, First Movement.” Performed by memo-ry by Kreschuk, we at times were emotionally

overwhelmed by her intense performance at the Free Evangelical Church piano.

To conclude the listed program, local pianist Pat Friesen teamed with Glatzer in a rendition of “Sonata for Violin and piano in E minor, First movement.” For Friesen to accomplish this dif-ficult piece with Glatzer and to make such mem-orable music together was an amazing feat.

C o m m u n i c a t i n g by e-mail over thou-sands of kilometres about how Glatzer wanted to render this piece was indeed a chal-lenge.

To send folks home scratching their heads over how Glatzer could wring such sounds from a small wooden box, such as the violin, he tossed off two impos-sibly difficult Paganini caprices for solo violin. After hearing these rare sounds an audience member was heard to ask, “How did he just do that?

Hats off go to the local players who joined with this great violin-ist. I am sure the locals will never forget the ideas and inspiration that Glatzer brought to our musicians in our small, yet vibrant, com-munity.

Dennis Tupman has invited Jack Glatzer to his home for sev-eral years and Glatzer gives a world-class con-cert in 100 Mile House every time.

SPRING HORSE CARE TIPSBefore you saddle up your horse and start enjoying the warmer weather, you should take care of a few simple chores.Shoes: If your horse is barefoot or if you pulled her shoes for the winter, it’s time to call the farrier again. Even if you plan on keeping your horse barefoot, she probably needs a trim so she can be comfortable when you go on rides. Remember that your horse’s feet may be tender when you start riding again. If you put shoes back on her, give her several days to adjust to the feeling. Your horse won’t want to go for a ride if her feet are sore.Fresh Green Grass: It’s likely that your horse doesn’t get as much green grass during the winter months as she does during the summer. It’s nice to see your horse eating green grass in his pasture in the spring, but you may have to limit his grazing time. High amounts of sugar in fresh grass can be unhealthy for some horses and may cause founder, a condition

that causes inflammation in the hoof and may result in the horse’s cannon bone separating from the hoof wall. Founder is very painful for a horse and can cause permanent lameness.All that new grass can also give her diarrhea. If your horse hasn’t had any grass during the winter months, give her some hay before you turn her out into pasture.

Umpires are back to calling balls and strikes behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre.

A new men’s fastball sea-

son in 100 Mile House is underway following open-ing night on May 12 when the Red Rock Avengers, the league’s back-to-back champs, and Jake’s Pub Old Buds, last season’s other

finalist, went head-to-head.The boys not only

knocked the winter rust off, they tore the cover off a few balls, tallying a ton of runs and getting the offence going early in the season.

Jake’s Old Buds scored 14 runs to Red Rock’s 11.

Greg Parent pitched for Jake’s Old Buds, while Pat Findlay pitched for Red Rock.

The Sanford & Dillman Hornets played Exeter Sports

on May 13, after press time. Exeter and Jake’s Old Buds

square off May 15, and Red Rock and Canim Lake are on the schedule for May 20 following a break over the long weekend.

Play ball!Jamie Law was third up to bat for Jake’s Pub Old Buds during the opening game of a new men’s fastball season in 100 Mile House on May 12. Curtis Bicknell of the Red Rock Avengers caught for pitcher Pat Findlay. Wayne Venos was the umpire behind the plate.

They were all tough matches, it sounds like her shoulder was dislo-cated in one of them, and she wishes she did better.

Still, Tiana Dykstra had a good time in Recife.

The local wrestler represent-ed Canada at the FILA Cadet Pan American Championships, which took place in Brazil April 29-May 5.

In three matches at 43-kg, Dykstra was beat out by Dailyn Velasquez of Venezuela (2-5), Diane Farias of Brazil (1-10) and Hailey Cox of the Unites States (0-6).

She didn’t place, and she’s used to placing. (Dykstra won a silver medal at nationals last month, a provincial gold in March, and won bronze at the 2013 Canada Summer Games as

a member of Team BC.) And worse, against Cox in her last

match, her “arm popped out.” It hurt a lot, Dykstra

says, and it was still sore when she was back in 100 Mile House waiting to see a doctor.

“She had my leg, and I was defending...The next thing I knew, I couldn’t feel [my arm],” Dykstra says of the inju-ry. “When I landed on the ground, it went back in. I just let her pin me to get off the mat.”

“I was like, ‘OK. Let me go.’”

It’s not something that ever happened before.

In the first match against Velasquez, it was close in the begin-ning, but “I was thrown and pinned,”

Dykstra explains. “I wasn’t being patient enough.”

The second match against Farias came out of nowhere.

“I wasn’t ready to wrestle. There were two Tiana’s on the team [Saskatchewan’s Tianna Kennett wrestled at 52-kg], so there was a lot of confusion on who was going. They were calling me, and I didn’t know. I ran out there and just wrestled. So it wasn’t good.”

Tonya Verbeek, a three-time Olympic

medalist, was the coach of Team Canada

in Brazil. Dykstra says the team was “really

supportive” and she learned a lot. “This was our first thing as a team,

and no one really knew each other until the end of the trip. We know each other a lot better now.”

On their last day in Recife the women’s team went to the beach. Dykstra, 16, also visited a “really cool market” and “we went down exploring the streets.”

The best thing about the trip “was meeting the new people,” she says.

“It was cool to have a big team again. Last summer I had one. It was Team BC. This was a step up. It felt neat and special.”

A number of training camps and tournaments are set for this sum-mer, but the local wrestler, and Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School stu-dent, hasn’t made any plans yet on what she’s doing next.

The school held a fundraiser before she left for Brazil.

“I want to say thanks to my school for all the support.”

Part of something special

New fastball season underway at SCRC in 100 Mile House

Tiana Dykstra



Boys and girls rugby teams from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School travelled to Williams Lake for exhi-bition games recently, and have rematches scheduled in 100 Mile House for May 15.

Werner Schoeman and teacher Ken Heales are coaching the teams.

Schoeman says the games in Williams Lake were good experience for a lot of the play-ers, nearly half of them playing for the first time.

“There were a couple big hits being made, and also a couple big hits that were taken,” Schoeman says of the junior boys game. “The kids actually pulled through pretty good. I’m quite happy with that.”

The girls fielded a

full 15-person team and lost by a margin of three tries. The senior boys, who needed extra players and got some from the Williams Lake squad, “almost pulled through” and “scored a beautiful try,” the coach

adds. For Schoeman, a

South African doctor who’s practicing locally, it’s his first year coach-ing in 100 Mile House.

“I’m enjoying it. The kids are quite motivat-ed. It’s a bit different

from South Africa. In South Africa, [rugby] is almost like ice hockey is over here. It’s a bit of a religion.”

“The kids are enjoy-ing it, and that’s what it’s about.”


She left it all on the ice in Salmon Arm. It paid off, and she got the call.

Now, Cassidy Mellott is skating for a spot on British Columbia’s 2015 U18 roster, so she’ll have to leave it all out there again. And maybe pot a couple more goals while she’s at it.

The local hockey tal-ent, who played for 100 Mile House’s midget rep team this season, was one of 40 girls recently invited to a provincial

camp in Lake Cowichan on May 16-19. This fol-lows an appearance in the 2014 Female U18 BC Cup with the province’s top 80 players in Salmon Arm from April 23-27.

Mellott played on Team Thunder, the runner-ups. She snipped two goals in four games.

“It was exhausting,” she says. “It was a lot of hockey. It was so much fun.”

The BC Cup featured four teams. The first two days of the event consisted of practices, team building and fit-

ness testing. Players were then evaluated on their performance dur-ing games.

Following the BC Cup, Mellott received a let-ter from Team BC coach Rebecca Russell invit-ing her to the upcoming tryouts. Mellott is doing fitness training with local boxing coach Kelly Ricketts until then, and she’s looking for ice time too.

Should she make the squad, Mellott will be part of Team BC, which will participate at the 2015 Canada Winter

Games in Prince George next February.

“It feels really good,” the 16-year-old says. “It feels really good to be recognized for all the work and to finally get there.”

Getting a callback to tryout for Team BC was a goal of hers, she explains, and it was accomplished.

“Now I’m on to the next.”

‘I love competing’Gaven CritesFree Press

It’s something they’ve been preparing for since the fall.

Three girls from the South Cariboo Rhythmic Gymnastics Club are on their way to the 15th Annual Millennium Cup International Invitational in Vancouver on May 16-18.

The event, hosted by the Adagio International Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy, features some of Canada’s top nation-al team members and many upcoming talents from all competition levels.

Sarah Robinson, 10, Candice-Rose Mapson, 10, and Jill McArthur, 10, will be showing off different routines.

The girls spoke about the competition and gymnastics at a recent practice in 100 Mile House.

Mapson has been doing the sport for close to five years.

“It’s really fun,” she

says. “I love the outfits.”“I’ll have fam-

ily watching me in [in Vancouver],” she adds. “It will make me less nervous.”

McArthur joined gymnastics three years ago when she moved

to town and was try-ing out different sports. “I like the different competitions and how we’re able to show off our flexibility.”

Robinson, who’s been in gymnastics since she was five years old, says

simply: “I love compet-ing.”

The Millennium Cup, which will see gym-nasts compete from all around the world, is known as a “friendly and rewarding” experi-ence.

Local coach Sang-Hee Robinson says there’s a “positive” environment at the competition.

“It’s not about being first, it’s about how you compete, your pas-sions,” she explains. “They have very well mastered their skills and they’re ready to shine for the last time before we rap up for the year.”

The South Cariboo Rhythmic Gymnastics Club is hosting a year-end gala at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on May 23. Doors open at 4:30 p.m.

“We’ve received a lot of help from parents and the community,” the coach says. “We’re wrapping things up in a fun way and to show all the parents what the kids learned. And watch them having fun.”

Gymnasts ending season with ‘fun, memorable’ gala at SCRC


It takes a great deal of com-mitment and skill to qualify for nationals, explains Kokoro Judo Club coach Ian Briggs. The pro-cess is based on “a combination

of attending training camps and performing well in competition.”

Four local athletes have done that this year, with two heading to Quebec for the 2014 Canadian Judo Championship on May 15-18.

Reid Collinson is competing in

the U16 division, minus 42-kilo-gram class, while Ali Briggs is in the U21 division, minus 52-kg class.

Aidan Fentiman and Paige Hall also qualified for nationals, but are not expected to make the trip.

On May 14, the curbside garbage collection service for the 108 Mile Ranch will change to an automated system.

108 residents will be receiving gar-bage and recycling totes (containers with wheels) on May 14-15. Residents are being asked to remove their totes from the end of their driveways as soon as possible after delivery, says Cariboo Regional district Area G Director Al Richmond.

If residents will be absent from their homes during and after (a week or more) delivery and they’re unable to have a neighbour or family mem-ber move their totes off the street, they are asked to contact the CRD environmental services department at 1-800-665-1636 as soon as possible, he adds.

“The totes will be dropped off at

the location in which they should be replaced for pickup. Please make note of the locations and use them weekly.”

The collection arm on the auto-mated vehicle requires ample space to operate; therefore, on the weeks that both totes are set out, the totes must be placed at least three feet apart from each other, Richmond explains.

Residents currently receiving gar-bage collection on Fridays at 108 Mile will have their collection day changed to Wednesdays effective today (May 14).

The first garbage collection day using the new totes at 108 Mile will be May 14 and May 15.

The first curbside recycling at 108 Mile will be May 21 and 22.

Perry Dewar, left, and his wife, Laura, got the lowdown from solid waste management technician Jesse Hohert on the subsidized composters they purchased from the Cariboo Regional District upon delivery at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on May 9.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation is looking for Big Bike teams to ride 29-person bike in support of life-saving research.

The Kamloops/Cariboo office of the Heart and Stroke Foundation is recruit-ing teams to participate

in 100 Mile House annual Big Bike event, which is taking place at the Save-On-Foods parking lot June 9.

Local organizations are invited to help “Take a seat to extend a life” by getting a team of 29 folks together to ride

a two-kilometre route in their community on Canada’s only 30-seat bike.

“This fun, team-building event is a great opportunity to increase employee morale and your organization’s visibility in the commu-nity and all for a good

cause” says Lisa Verity, K a m l o o p s / C a r i b o o office of the Heart and Stroke Foundation area co-ordinator.

Every seven min-utes a Canadian dies from heart disease or stroke, and in British Columbia, someone dies from heart disease or stroke every hour, says Verity.

“Events like Big Bike allow the foun-dation to continue

funding world-class heart disease and stroke research, advocacy, and health promotion that is improving the lives of all Canadians. We’re helping give Canadians longer, fuller, healthier lives.”

Register today to put your organization in the spotlight and to help continue the tradition. Call Verity at 250-372-3938 and visit bigbike.ca.

Garbage collection will continue to be pro-vided weekly. Curbside recycling collection will take place every 2nd week, Richmond says.

“You will receive more detailed informa-tion on what can go in the recycling totes and pickup schedules when your totes are deliv-ered.”

The CRD board chair says this new recycling service has been made possible by partnering with Multi Material British Columbia (MMBC), the steward-ship agency responsible for residential packag-ing and printed paper in B.C.

As a result, glass, Styrofoam, and plas-tic bags (types 2 and

4 only) will not be accepted in the curb-side program, but they will be accepted at Gold Trail Recycling in 100 Mile House, starting May 19.

Richmond notes glass is currently accepted at Gold Trail under a CRD subsidized program.

For more informa-tion, he suggests folks visit the MMBC website and follow the link for details of the material to be collected at curbside at http://recyclinginbc.c a /prog ram/mmb c- materials-list/.

If people have any questions regarding the program at the 108 Mile Ranch, they can e-mail the CRD at [email protected], or call the CRD office at 1-800-665-1636 and ask for the environmental

services department.“You can email me at

[email protected], or call me at 250-791-5477. As with any new program, we would ask for your patience while we work our way through implementing this new service.”

Big Bike coming to 100 Mile


A group of Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) students from grades 8-12 will travel to Costa Rica next year, and are currently fundraising to cover their costs.

PSO counsellor Crystal Dawn Langton notes it is a volunteering trip, so will involve helping with things, such as a community cleanup project, building or repairing a school or church, assisting at an orphanage or tutoring children in the English language.

“A couple of days are doing fun things, going on jungle tours and what not, but we are

there to work in the communi-ties as they need us.”

Langton says the nine-day trip will take place in July 2015, and she welcomes more parents, next year’s PSO stu-dents, and other community members to travel along and volunteer with the group.

The next fundraising activity for the students is sell-ing meat in assorted frozen packages from Chilliwack’s Fraser Valley Meats until May 19.

“They go out and they basi-cally just pre-order meat for people. They don’t do a lot of community canvassing. They mostly go to their par-ents’ work, and we ask people around town.”

Packages offer steaks, chick-

en breasts, sausage, bacon and ground beef, which are chosen from a list., Langton adds.

“It is all B.C. product, which is nice.”

Noting meat brings in much more money than selling chocolate bars, she explains all children and adults are per-sonally responsible for raising their own money to cover the $3,300 in individual travel costs for the Costa Rica trip.

“It’s great, one of our girls made $200 on it last time. Whatever the kids raise, they keep [for the trip].”

Recent activities to drum up money included helping out at a recent Shriners’ dinner – students made $600 – as well as holding random in-school bake sales.

A Family Fun Night is also being held on June 13 (ten-tatively 5:30-8:30 p.m.) with proceeds to be split with the Free the Children fund. She says the public is encouraged to come out to PSO to have a great family-orientated time and support the students in a worthy cause.

Other fundraising will take place all year, such as sell-ing Purdy’s Chocolates and poinsettia plants closer to Christmas, she notes.

For more information on the meat packages and pricing (order by May 19), or about joining the Costa Rica trip, contact Langton by e-mail at [email protected] or call her at PSO at 250-395-2461 ext. 235.

All about Soil Creating healthy and productive soil is probably the most important thing you do for your garden. Whether you grow vegetables, flowers or trees-good soil is essential to the health of your plants. Here in the Cariboo we usually have more clay and rock than soil and so our particular struggle is a tough one. Here at the nursery we grow nearly everything in raised beds, and raised beds are what we usually recommend. The steps to creating great, healthy soil are nearly the same, though, no matter which type of gardening you do. If you are tilling your earth and then going to add to existing soil: first remove as much grass and root as possible. Grass is persistent and will come back quickly, so removing as much as possible in the beginning will cut down on weeding later. Once tilled, you could add topsoil and perlite along with compost and manure or just the latter two, depending on the quality of your existing soil. If building raised beds, begin with good quality topsoil and combine it with a lightening agent of some kind (i.e. Sunshine Mix or perlite) Adding compost and manure, or just one or the other will, enrich and feed your soil and in turn your plants. The amount needed varies on the size of your garden. Adding other components, especially to the organic garden, such as Glacial Rock Dust, Greensand and/or Rock Phosphate can only help to create amazing and fruitful soil. It is a costly process, but one that is worth every penny and back breaking moment, especially if growing your own veggies and fruit because it will give back to you more than you put in!But, you still need Fertilizer The most important thing to remember is that fertilizer is FOOD, not medicine. Do not wait until your plants are sickly or

worse before feeding them. Also, manure is not sufficient fertilizer. Whether you use standard fertilizer or organic, be sure to follow the directions carefully to avoid burning or not using enough. Following is a quick description of the main ingredients in fertilizer, keeping in mind that some have many more components and that the numbers of each vary depending on what they are designed for. We typically recommend a fertilizer with calcium when growing veggies, sulphur for potatoes and always recommend that your fertilizer contains ‘micro nutrients’. In simple terms, nitrogen promotes plant growth. It is associated with leafy, vegetative growth. It’s part of every protein in the plant, so it's required for virtually every process, from growing new leaves to defending against pests. Nitrogen is part of the chlorophyll molecule, which gives plants their green color and is involved in creating food for the plant through photosynthesis. Lack of nitrogen shows up as general yellowing (chlorosis) of the plant. Because nitrogen can move around in the plant, older growth often yellows more than the new growth. Phosphorus is involved in metabolic processes responsible for transferring energy from one point to another in the plant. It's also critical in root development and flowering. Because phosphorus moves slowly through the soil, it's important to work it into the soil, where it's needed by the roots. Potassium helps regulate plant metabolism and affects water pressure regulation inside and outside of plant cells. It is important for good root development. For these reasons, potassium is critical to plant stress tolerance.Choosing Your Seeds and Plants: When choosing seeds consider where the seeds come from and whether or not they are genetically modified, if they are

Our Soil Is Better,It’s Run Through A Shredder!

Gardeningorganic (if you are gardening organically), whether they are OP or F1 (if you wish to collect and store seed) and if they have been treated. We believe in working with seed companies that provide clean and naturally sourced seed. Much ado is being made these days about GMO and/or GEO seed and heirloom seeds. GMO and GEO stand for genetically modified or genetically engineered. We do not purchase, sell or grow these types of seeds or plants, so rest assured that anything you buy from us is neither. Heirloom seed is simply seed that has been around a long time. It comes from plants that have been grown for at least 50 years, though some say 100 years is the cut off, and will in theory produce the same plant that was grown by our great, great grandparents. It is always OP (open pollinated) and is a cultivar; meaning it is not ‘wild’ seed, but seed collected from a plant selected for its properties i.e. flavour, growth pattern, disease resistance. OP means open pollinated. This refers to seed that when collected from this year’s plants can be counted on to produce an identical plant to its parent.F1 means it is hybrid seed. NOT the same as GMO or GEO, but simply a plant that has two different parents. Will produce either one or other of the parents, or an identical plant. When selecting plants, choose plants that appear healthy green, that have no signs of disease or pests and that are not wilted. Choose plants that are well branched, and not necessarily in bloom. After all you want them to bloom for you at home, not finish when you get there.Gardening is a challenge here in the Cariboo, but armed with the right tools and information, it is a challenge we believe you can meet. We are always available to help you with any questions you may have-after all your success is what makes us successful!Article provided by Ganesa Wiens, Lone Butte Gardens

The District of 100 Mile House is now accepting applications for its Business Facade Improvement Program, funded by Northern Development Initiative Trust.

Up to $20,000 is available to cost share 50/50 with area busi-nesses, to a total of $5,000 funding per building, upon approved application to the District.

The program is intended to encour-age investment in improving the aesthet-ics of storefronts in the municipality.

Mayor Mitch Campsall says the time-liness of the program could not be better.

“Spring is a great time to think about sprucing

up our downtown store-fronts – just in time for our tourist season.

“Improving our com-mercial facades will enhance our downtown core for walking and shopping, help to attract and retain commercial tenants, stimulate local construction and the overall economy, and showcase our civic pride.”

Applicants are advised to check eli-gibility requirements with the District at 250-395-2434 before applying. The applica-tion packages are online at www.100milehouse.com, under News & Events.

All applications sub-mitted must include project designs and cost estimates.

Dear Canimites,The hillsides are

greening up as buds burst forth on the birch-es and aspen, drawing in the many birds that

feast on insects.At Hawkins Lake,

Wayne Traill spotted 51 species in one day.

Talented pianistElizabeth Haretz-

muller, daughter of Rob and Michelle, delighted audiences at the recent Festival of the Arts with her piano.

She won gold cer-tificates from her adjudicator, the JS Bach Jr. award, the 20th Century Jr. piano award, and got her name on

the Helen Ames Trophy. Quite a feat for a Canim Lake musician who is just turning 11.

Elizabeth has been playing for three years and is coached by Michelle’s sister, Jenny Dahl.

Gigantic saleComing May 28 to

the Canim Lake Store is the gigantic blow-out planter sale arranged by the community club.

Twenty-five hanging baskets and pots have

been prepared. There will also be a selection of perennials from the area.

Yvette Stark and Margo Wagner have purchased the four suc-culent roasts that Leona Hurrell and Elizabeth Sarkozy will cook to perfection for beef-on-a-bun lovers. Master baker Granny Grace Buse is baking fresh buns for the treat.

There will be a ban-quet of tasty baked goods from the loving hands of the good women of Canim and Hawkins lakes, with a stress on pies. Local crafters and

artists have been invited to set up tables.

Grass fireFirefighters had their

hands full April 30, as a resident lit a small pile of brush in the late morning.

Adjacent dry grass immediately flared up and the fire headed for his buildings. Hall #2 was first on scene and managed to stop the blaze just short of the first structure.

Shifting winds then drove the fire off in different directions, forcing incident com-

mander Capt. Ken Kerr to deploy teams to protect the neigh-bour’s buildings. In all, about 30 acres of grass-land were burnt, but no buildings were lost.

Kudos go to the com-bined forces of Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department Halls #1 and #2, 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue, and the Forests ministry. Twenty-six responders were involved with six engines and tenders for most of the day.

That’s all for now. Until next time, here’s wishing you many blessings.

Entertainment Gaven CritesFree Press

A belly dancer stepped off the stage and shook and swayed past tables where a couple dozen ladies sat eating cheese, drinking wine and applauding.

The Cariboo Women’s Fair was just getting started.

The inaugural event, organized by Canlan Ice Sports at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on May 9-10, featured close to 50 vendors advertising a variety of goods and services, all with women’s interests in mind.

Gardening, hair care, jewelry, nutrition, pho-tography, clothes, belly dancing classes, beauty products and Tai Chi were just some of the things visitors could explore at the local arena.

Some of the enter-tainment included a psychic, Zumba and performances by 2014 Cariboo Idols.

Organizer Kimberly Vance-Lundsbye says the Women’s Fair replaced the 100 Mile

House Mega Show this year, and was about “giving the community something different.”

She adds vendor turnout was a “huge” success.

“A third of the ven-dors are new people

– they’ve never been a vendor at one of our events before. There are a lot of natural prod-ucts and homemade products, which reflects what people want in the Cariboo.

“We wanted a lot of

entertainment to go with the show. So it’s a jam-packed schedule.”

Billy Feistmantl was one of the vendors, showcasing organic skin care products she makes herself.

“I’m very impressed

with it,” she says of the fair.

“I love it. It’s very well organized. I think this is the way to go.”

Tammie Black, a 100 Mile House resident, browsed the arena with a friend. It took the pair

90 minutes to do one lap around the floor.

“We’re stopping at every booth and talk-ing to everybody about what they’re about,” Black says, adding she saw a new anti-aging product among the wares.

“Women like this kind of stuff.”

Rebecca Schuurman, a Vancouver resident, was in 100 Mile House visiting family and took in the fair on May 9. Schuurman says she discovered homeo-pathic medicines and jewelry lines she didn’t think she would find in the South Cariboo.

Was she staying for the psychic workshop later that evening?

“Maybe, I’m trying to convince my sister to stay a little bit longer. I’m thinking more wine will do the trick.”

Wine, cheese, ‘huge’ vendor turnout at Women’s Fair

Time to celebrate western heritageWestern Week, Little Britches and BCRA

rodeos on May long weekend

The Little Britches Parade and Western Heritage Week are back on the May long weekend. These little cowboys, who were at last year’s BCRA Rodeo, dream about competing with the big boys one day.

File photo


Many homeschoolers, ranging from pre-schoolers to teenagers, met for a fun-filled day downhill skiing high up on Mount Timothy Ski Area.

The event was organized by teacher Martin Kruus. Questioned on why he planned it, he answered, “Because I feel it is a valuable experience to have kids try new things, especially if they are challenging and educational.”

He also slightly prefers snowboard-ing to skiing because, in his opinion, it is more challenging and exhilarating, but

snowboarding is more annoying on lifts and on flats.

One of the parents, Margret Ann Enders, said her favourite thing about skiing is being outside. But two of the many students, Amelia Burril and Quiona Roberts, said their favourite part is that you get to go fast down-hill.

There are lots of opportunities when you home school, such as when you ski, it counts as physical education. It is also a fun and memorable experience that you would not have otherwise.

Kruus also explained there is more than just one benefit that comes from skiing, such as, when you are going up the mountain on the chairlift, you can exam-ine the tree differences as you get higher and higher, and you can study the different types of lifts, how they run mechanically (simple

machines), etc.A junior high stu-

dent, Daven Mapson, was looking forward to using the chairlift, but as it was broken that day, he found himself using the T-Bar. It was his first time using it, and when asked how he felt about it, he replied, “It was certainly more interesting than using the chairlift, but also more tiring.”

There will be many more events in the future, and until then, all the homeschool-ers will be waiting in excitement.

The new commanding officer at the 100 Mile House RCMP detach-

ment hit the ground running last fall.

Staff Sgt. Blake Ward joined the local police force earlier this year, and says he has been busy getting a feel for the community.

“I just really dug into things here, and got into where the com-munity sees the issues, and what’s been going on within the detach-ment.”

The local commander adds he was pleased to find a good envi-ronment at the local detachment office.

“As an outsider getting into the detachment, I see right off the bat that they are being well trained, and that there is a very good morale within the detachment – and that includes all of the office staff, not just the members.”

Ward explains he also noticed some areas for improvement, and then confirmed those in conver-sations with District of 100 Mile House mayor and council and the Cariboo Regional District area directors.

“The members here have been through a lot last year. We were very short staffed here, to the point that members were not get-ting their leave – their time off.

“When I look at that, I think the members did a very good job

at what they had to deal with last year, but I think there’s definitely room for improvement now.”

Ward says his primary goal is strengthening detachment con-nections with the community, to foster a better feeling of area pride

and ownership in the local police officers.

“The area I’d like to see us move forward this year is focusing on community engagement. We have a number of members who are involved with activities, both during work hours and on their off-time, but I’d like to encourage more of our members in getting involved with the community.”

This was one area hit by that excess workload, but all the mem-bers do show an interest in the plan, he adds.

Noting there is a wide range of potential involvement, he says it includes attending public functions and community-based activities, as well as visiting schools.

“For me, policing is very much based on the contacts and relationships we build.

“It is very important that a police officer has those contacts within the community to reach out to for getting information – getting knowledge about different things.”

Like most police officers and commanders who get posted to new areas, Ward says he has

come into the South Cariboo with almost no knowledge about the place or its people.

“If we need to solve crime and address issues with crime, we need to reach out to the community.”

Consultations with communi-ties have led to some new areas of focus for the local RCMP, he adds.

This year will see Ward imple-ment a crime-reduction initiative, including holding people account-able to breaches of their release

and curfew conditions, as well as addressing substance abuse, spe-cifically drugs.

The drug initiative will include an all-important education aspect within schools and in the community at large, primarily geared for youth and

parents, he explains.“It’s also something to be aware

of in the workplace.”Ward adds other areas of focus

will include cultivating and gather-ing good information sources; road and marine safety initiatives, includ-ing high-visibility police attendance in identified areas of trouble; and enforcement of laws surrounding drivers using cell phones.

Police pursue community engagementCrime reduction reinforced by connecting with citizens

Staff Sgt. Blake Ward recently joined the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment as its new commanding officer. His number 1 goal for the upcoming year is to further engage RCMP members with the com-munity.

For me, policing is very much based on the contacts and relationships we build."

Deka’s annual street cleanup is scheduled for May 25.

Residents are asked to clean the ditches on both sides of their homes up to their nearest full-time neigh-bours, and then meet at the fire hall to do Burgess Road up to Mahood Lake Road.

Everyone then returns to the fire hall for lunch at noon, catered by Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department

(DLDVFD).

Funding approvedAfter a decade or so

of community debate on the subject, the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) at its April 17 meeting approved funding to consider the feasibility of Sulphurous Lake District Volunteer Fire Department either merging with DLDVFD or becoming a stand-alone CRD fire service.

By Anita PriceMany community

members are familiar with the ESL (English as a Second Language) Café program.

With new funding made available through Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the program has been expanded and continues to be offered at no cost to partici-pants.

The main compo-nents of the program, the regular and advanced ESL Cafés, are ongoing with meet-ings that are held on Tuesdays.

These café style meet-ings are a great way to develop English speak-ing skills, as well as make new friends and learn about our com-munity.

The weekly meetings begin at 10:30 a.m. with meeting content vary-ing between language development exercis-es, guest speakers and field trips. All meetings include time to visit, ask questions and enjoy a cup of coffee with other participants.

Additional learn-ing opportunities are provided through the volunteer one-to-one tutoring program. Tutors are trained and then matched with newcomers to our com-munity who want to improve their English language skills.

Most often, tutors and learners meet for one hour, once a week and develop speaking, reading and writing skills as directed by the needs of the learners.

New components of the program include book club meetings, discussion groups and

movie nights.Previously, meetings

were held in various locations around 100 Mile House; however, the majority of meet-ings are now held in the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy (CCPL) meeting room located at 475 Birch Ave.

The entrance is in the rear of the building at the north end. The glass

door is clearly marked with the CCPL logo and a current meeting schedule.

Any residents or visi-tors to the area who have English as a second language and would like to improve their skills or learn more about our community are wel-come to stop in at the CCPL meeting room on Wednesdays between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

to speak with a staff member.

For information on any program or on how to become a tutor, please check out the CCPL website at www.caribooliteracy.com or phoning Anita at 250-706-7763.

Anita Price is the 100 Mile House ESL co-ordi-nator for the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy.

By Zee ChevalierThe Volunteer

Appreciation Night at Clinton Memorial Hall on May 3 was well-attended in spite of several events happen-ing on the weekend.

The original intent of the event was to rec-ognize the participation and hard work of those who had contributed to Clinton’s very success-ful 150/50 Anniversary celebrations in 2013, but it was expanded to recognize all volunteers regardless of whether they had participated in the events of 2013.

The Village of Clinton has traditionally had an annual volunteer recog-nition event.

Village chief adminis-trative officer Tom Dall

prepared a slide show on the big screen with photos of the 60-plus events held in 2013.

Mayor Jim Rivett opened the evening by paying tribute to the many volunteers in Clinton in approxi-mately 40 organizations and thanking them for their valuable contribu-tions throughout the year. He then called on Councillor Diane Guerin who explained the 150/50 Anniversary Committee had been renamed Spirit of Clinton Committee and hoped to capitalize on the momentum created by the success of the 2013 events with events in 2014 to enhance Clinton’s tourism appeal.

Refreshments were served by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #194-Clinton Ladies Auxiliary, and throughout the evening, Guerin drew numbers for door prizes.

Zee Chevalier is a long-time Clinton volunteer.

“Last year surpassed the year before, and we want this year to sur-pass last year.”

That’s local Relay for Life organizer Alaina Fryer’s attitude as the nation-wide fundrais-er for cancer research approaches.

It’s Fryer’s third year co-ordinating the event, which sees people in communities from coast to coast participate in a fun and non- competitive 12-hour relay to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society.

Last year, the relay in 100 Mile House saw live music and a vari-ety of games, and 107 participants run and walk through

Centennial Park.A total of 15 teams

entered and nearly $22,000 was raised, Fryer explains.

Making it a thing of the past

There was a good turnout for the annual Relay for Life event in 100 Mile House last year. There are always a lot of dedicated walkers for the event, but key organizer Alaina Fryer says she would like to see more community members come out to support the walkers at Centennial Park.

File photo

Continued on B11


“Two years ago was a real struggle to get this town back on board with the relay. Last year, we [turned it around] and we’re hoping to do it again this year and bring everybody back out, and make it the big event it used to be.”

Fryer says they’re looking for volunteers and people can visit the Canadian Cancer

Society website and search the 2014 100 Mile House Relay for Life page to learn more or register a team.

A number of teams have already registered, but organizers would like to see more in advance to get an idea of how many will be down at the park. However, people can still register the morning of the relay, Fryer adds.

The relay runs from 10

a.m. to 10 p.m. on June 7. “It doesn’t mat-

ter what they’re doing, we just want them out there and showing sup-port for their team. We want more community involvement to show their support for a cause everybody deals with one way or another.”

Fryer says she wants to make cancer “a thing of the past.”

“I’m putting my voice to this organization and hoping, down the road, we will cure it. It touches everybody.”

In 2013, 161,746 Canadians participated in 487 Relay For Life events across the coun-try, raising $46.5 million.

To learn more about Relay for Life or to vol-unteer, call Fryer at 250-706-8082.

ARSON BY FRYING PANIt is probably true to say that, as patients, we are grateful when

our doctors send us to specialists. We know that no doctor knows everything there is to know about medical problems. Strangely enough, many clients expect their lawyers to know all of the law. The truth is, of course, that no lawyer knows all of the law.

Imagine that you are staying with a friend for a few days. You have a little too much to drink. You decide to sleep it off and when you wake up - still quite intoxicated, your friend is gone. You decide to cook some breakfast. You put the frying pan on the stove. You put some oil in the frying pan - and then, you decide to go to the nearest Tim Hortons - but you forget to turn off the frying pan.

Upon returning from the restaurant 20 minutes later, you are horrifi ed to fi nd that your friend’s house is in fl ames. You understand that your friend will be upset and you fervently pray that she has fi re insurance.

Many lawyers would be astonished to learn that embarrassment and expense are not the only possible outcomes of the above scenario. Paul Tatton knows, however, that the above scenario can result in a charge of arson - because those events are part of his life and he was charged with arson. [R. v. Tatton, 2014 ONCA 273; 2014 OJ No. 1683.] At this stage, Mr. Tatton has been acquitted both at trial and in the Ontario Court of Appeal. It should be noted, however, that only two of the three appeal court judges felt that the trial court acquittal should be upheld. Lawyers who have commented on the case expect that it will be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada and some expect that the acquittal will be overturned.

In considering the Tatton case, it may be worth noting that arson occurs when a person “intentionally or recklessly causes damage by fi re” to the property of another person. Thus, the mere fact that Mr. Tatton may not have intended to cause the fi re would not necessarily save him from conviction.

What exterior items should I clean in the spring?

Just like any spring cleaning list, it is easiest to approach a wide range of chores by dividing them into manageable areas.

For the House

Cleaning the actual structure of your house is easy and will instantly improve its appearance.

Windows: Washing windows and screens will give you a sparkling view of spring even if it’s still a bit too cold to be outside enjoying it as much as you want.

Gutters: Cleaning out rain gutters is a fall chore for many homeowners, but checking them again in the spring will ensure that no debris has become clogged in them during winter storms.

Siding: Pressure wash the siding of your home to remove grime. Be sure to start at the highest points of your home to avoid washing dirt down onto clean areas.

Garage: Cleaning out the garage will give you more space for summer equipment such as bikes, outdoor games, and gardening equipment. This may be a good time to hold a yard sale as well.

PIC of the week

A fleet of Nissan LEAFs took to the streets of a quiet village in the Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur region to mark the International Noise Awareness Day last week.The cars were filmed racing silently around the small French town while residents were video-moni-tored sleeping through the stunt.The World Health Organization (WHO) states at least 13.5 percent of Europeans are exposed to road traffic noise at levels exceeding 55 dB, which is considered detrimental to health. Search Nissan LEAF 100% Electric - Silent Ride on YouTube to view the video.

Drives-U-CrazyPeople who stop where they bump

If you have a motoring mishap, the cars are driveable and nobody is injured then get off the road to exchange insurance details.Why do people just stop where they bump and get out of their cars in the middle of the road and risk life and limb among busy traffic? – The police aren’t coming to investi-gate but they may ticket you for causing an obstruction.What drives-u-crazy?
