The provincial executive of the British Columbia NDP has proposed May 25, 2014 for a leadership vote to select a replacement for Adrian Dix.
The party executive picked the date, almost exactly three years before the next scheduled B.C. election, to avoid municipal elections set for next fall and a federal election expected in 2015. That is to make it more practi-cal for municipal politicians and MPs to consider whether they want to jump to provincial politics.
In September, Dix announced he would stay on as leader until a suc-cessor is chosen, and at the time he said that would take place before the middle of next year. The May vote was picked after discussions with the party’s current MLAs and local con-stituency presidents, but it still must be approved by the NDP provincial council.
No candidate has formally announced, but several are thinking about taking a run. They include veteran Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth, who finished second to Dix in 2011, and caucus newcom-ers Judy Darcy, George Heyman and David Eby, all of whom represent Vancouver constituencies. Vancouver Island MLA Rob Fleming and Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen have also said they are weighing their chances.
Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan, who finished third behind Dix in the 2011 vote, announced last week he will not make another run for the top job. Horgan said he wants to see a new generation of leadership get the attention of members after the party’s upset loss in the May 2013 election.
The B.C. NDP’s next party conven-tion is set for Nov. 15-17 in Vancouver.

Teams in the Central Interior Hockey League continue to produce at the offensive end.
Unfortunately for the Lac la Hache Tomahawks, the out-put wasn’t enough last weekend and the senior men’s hockey team dropped back-to-back games on the road.
In a face-off with the Smithers Steelheads on Oct. 19, Lac la Hache scored five goals but gave up nine.
Smithers peppered Tomahawks goalie William Sellars with 53 shots, scoring four goals in the first, one in the second and four in the third.
Kyle Crump netted three goals for Lac la Hache, while Sheldon Paul and Antoine Sargeant added one a piece. Assists on the
night went to Sargeant, Tyrell Dan, Grant Johnson and Ellery Brigham.
It was much the same
story on Oct. 20 when the Tomahawks trav-elled to Houston to play the Luckies.
Lac la Hache scored first, but Houston scored more on their way to a 10-3 win.
Matt Brenner was in net for Lac la Hache and faced 61 shots.
Dan scored early in the first period for Lac la Hache and Brigham followed up later in the frame.
Houston scored four in the first and three in second, taking a 7-2 lead into the third. Sargeant scored late for Lac la Hache.
The Tomahawks (1-3) host Smithers (4-0) at the Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena in Lac la Hache on Oct. 26, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Alan Reichardt did not get his wish to pass the torch to a new presi-dent, so he will remain president of the 100 Mile Snowmobile Club for one more year.
However, Reichardt notes the club has some new faces on the executive and he thanks those individuals for volunteering to fill those positions.
The 2013/14 executive includes vice-president Dirk Dunkel, secretary Miles Holte, treasurer Laurie Lautrup, trails director Bruce Anderson, groomer director Gil Adolph, clubhouse director Rolf Bachmann, and directors Karen Vanshagen, Tamara Van Loon, Sue Meyers and Teresa Dunkel.
Club meetings are on the second Wednesday of month at the club-house at 7 p.m. sharp.
The upcoming rides include trips to Wells, Ten-ee-ah Lodge, and Gold Bridge. Memberships will be available to purchase as of Nov. 1 at all snowmobile dealers.
“If you have any comments or ideas for the upcoming season please do not hesitate to bring them forward at a monthly meeting or contact me by e-mail at [email protected]."
100 Mile Snowmobile Club has executive changes
Visit Us On The Web www.100milefreepress.net
By Tom FletcherBlack Press
One of Christy Clark’s first crises as premier was a 2011 revolt by parents and caregiv-ers over money-saving changes to the British Columbia government agency responsible for developmentally dis-abled people.
The chief executive officer of Community Living BC (CLBC) was fired after reports of people being moved from group homes into contracted home-sharing arrangements without consent. Waiting lists swelled as 65 group homes were closed, with disabled people living lon-ger than ever before. A government MLA, Randy Hawes, joined Opposition critics call-ing for relief.
A work program at a Maple Ridge recycling facility had its operat-ing funds cut, a decision hastily reversed as the B.C. Liberal govern-ment found an extra $40 million for CLBC’s budget to assist 13,000 developmentally dis-abled clients. Clark promised a re-organi-zation.
Two years later, Comox Valley MLA Don McRae is the new Minister of Social Development and
Social Innovation. He is touring the province during October, look-ing for ways to deliver that innovation, with an emphasis on finding jobs and homes for as many developmentally disabled people as pos-sible.
Money is still a big pressure, with the gov-ernment beginning a “core review” to squeeze more savings from all ministries. McRae has already faced criticism from contracted service agencies after their bud-gets had to absorb a three per cent wage hike for unionized employees.
McRae said in an interview last week he has yet to meet a service agency that has been unable to work through the new budget with
help from CLBC. And the agency continues to pursue home-sharing arrangements where practical.
“Society is evolving, and I’ve had the oppor-tunity to visit individuals who want to live in an inclusive environment, in a neighbourhood,” McRae said, adding there is “no push” to move people away from group homes.
McRae is reaching out to employer groups to build on successful work placements in grocery stores and other workplaces.
“For a person with a disability or not, hav-ing a job, and it could be full time or part time, allows you to have a role in society that gives something back,
and increases your self-worth. I think there’s huge value in that.”
McRae recalled seg-regated classes from his own childhood. As a high school teacher until his election in 2009, he worked with integrated classrooms. Work and retirement are the next phases.
That step begins with new oversight. Effective in October, Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond’s mandate is extended to people moving from youth services to CLBC responsibility, continu-ing until age 24.
In a pilot project, the ministry has hired four “navigators” to guide developmentally dis-
abled people leaving school to make sure they don’t fall through the cracks and have the welfare and health sup-port they need.
Another pilot begins in Burnaby next year, with a navigator assigned to help devel-opmentally disabled people adjust to their senior years.

British Columbians are asked to rethink how they consume and what they throw away during Waste Reduction Week in Canada.
Across the nation from Oct. 21 to 27, schools, businesses, governments and indi-viduals are challenged to change their habits to reduce waste.
“British Columbia has a long history of recycling and waste diversion, but indi-vidually we still sent almost 600 kilograms of garbage to landfills last year. Nova Scotians sent under 400 kg each, so we can do better,” says Brock Macdonald, Recycling Council of British Columbia chief executive officer. “Waste Reduction Week is a campaign that asks British Columbians to rethink what we buy, how we buy, and consider what we indi-vidually dispose of and where we can make a difference.”
Waste Reduction Week inspires Canadians to take action and reduce their waste in their own cre-ative and effective ways. For example, schools are holding waste-free
lunches; communities are conducting special recycling collection activities; and one school has even created a video for the BC Green Games competition and will be holding an in-school waste audit.
“It’s great to see all these initiatives happen-ing across the province,” says B.C.’s Minister of Environment Mary Polak. “British Columbians are doing their part to make zero waste a priority.”
Waste Reduction Week’s national spon-sor, Recycle My Cell, is hosting a contest for schools and post-secondary institutions
to collect and recycle as many old wireless devices as possible.
“Waste Reduction Week is a perfect opportunity for all British Columbians to make simple changes in their lives. Some of these actions could include refilling your morning coffee mug, refusing a shopping bag at the checkout, or buying in bulk to reduce packaging,” says Macdonald.
“As Canadians, we already understand the importance of a healthy environment, but some-times we forget that our everyday actions are a statement of those
beliefs. Small changes can gain big results.”
Al l Br it ish Columbians are wel-comed to get involved by visiting the Waste Reduction Week in
Canada website at w w w . w r w c a n a d a .com. For all registered events and community proclamations, visit www.wrwcanada.com/ register.

Now that fall has arrived, there may be a rising interest to burn those piles of branches, grass or brush that have accumulated over the summer months.
However, waiting until the late fall or even burning in the winter can make pile burning safer and more man-ageable. Part of being FireSmart with your property or business area is to get rid of those dead fuels, when condi-tions are right.
Here are some tips so that when you burn, you burn it right:
Category 2 (backyard/industrial) open fires
An open fire, exclud-ing a campfire, that burns piled material no larger than two metres high and three metres wide, or grass over an area less than 0.2 hectares (2,000 square metres) in size. More information is available at bcwild-f ire.ca/Restrictions/BackyardBurning.pdf.
Step-by-step instructions• Gather and pile
brush in an open area away from overhanging branches.
• In the fall, cover the brush pile with a tarp. Keep the pile covered for at least two months before you burn.
• Before you burn, check what prohibitions are in place by visit-ing www.bcwildfire.ca.
• Those burning must review and comply with the Environmental Management Act and the Open Burning Smoke Control Regulations found at www.bcair-quality.ca/index.html.
• Check the local vent-ing index at the above website.
• Ideally, burn when there is a thin layer of snow on the ground, or there has been recent rainfall.
• Construct a fuel break around the fire.
• Make sure that you have enough supplies (water, hand tools) near-
by to extinguish the fire.• When you are ready
to burn, light the fire in a safe way that ensures the fire will quickly build from smouldering to a hot, clean burn.
• Do not leave the fire unattended. Make sure that the person patrol-ling the fire has a hand tool to ensure that the fire does not escape.
• As the pile burns down, use a rake or shovel to re-pile all the material in the centre. This keeps the heat con-centrated to maximize the amount of mate-rial that is consumed by
the fire.• Enjoy a safer, clean-
er burn with very little smoke.
If you are burning a Category 3 (industrial/resource management) open fire – one that is larger than two metres high and three metres wide or grass over an area larger than 0.2 hectares (2,000 square metres) in size – you must obtain a burn registration num-ber at 1-800-797-1717. More information is available at bcwild-f ire.ca/Restrictions/ResourceMgmt.pdf.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, shake things up a bit to inspire some much-needed change. Be a tourist in your own city if you cannot afford a trip or im-merse yourself in new cultures.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21It is not a good week to begin new proj-ects, Taurus. In fact, cosmic signs point to � nishing up anything you have outstand-ing. Try to focus on � nancial matters too.
GEMINI - May 22/June 21Cooperate with others this week, Gemini. This works best when you embrace com-promise. Listen to what others have to say and always keep an open mind.
CANCER - June 22/July 22Cancer, a desire to get organized has been on your mind for some time. Now is the ideal time to do something about it. Start by clearing out clutter and go from there.
LEO - July 23/Aug 23Enjoy a short vacation, Leo. Maybe a jaunt to a weekend hideaway or something off the beaten path, but enjoy this well-de-served escape from the daily grind.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you are feeling domestic this week, so enjoy puttering around the house these next several days. You can catch up on decorating or renovating the home.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, you feel a strong need to commu-nicate with others this week. Share some truths with your loved ones, but try not to come across as if you have an agenda.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, you may have a desire to travel and seek adventure, but right now � nanc-es won’t allow it. If you can keep expenses down, you may have the opportunity soon.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Expect to have luck on your side this week, Sagittarius. As a natural born risk-taker, all you need is a little incentive to get out and take a chance.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Keep your intentions hidden from oth-ers until you are ready for the big reveal, Capricorn. This will help make the surprise even more exciting for all those involved.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, discussions reach a point where you want to make permanent changes to your plans. Think before making any � nal decisions and enjoy this exciting time.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Personal details about your private life may become public, Pisces. How this informa-tion is handled depends on your reaction.

After more than two weeks, the search contin-ues for missing Vavenby resident Laverne (Vern) Boettger, age 78.
Police are asking drivers in the North Thompson area to be on the lookout for the elderly man and his pickup truck. He was last seen Oct. 6 driving his 1997 Ford Ranger, B.C. licence plate8769HB, head-ing north from Vavenby on Highway 5.
Close to 50 search and rescue members and non-member volunteers, supported by helicopters, concentrated on searching the numerous area back roads, which family members say Boettger enjoys exploring.
Search and Rescue crews have now stood down, and RCMP report that all local roads and back roads in the Valemount/Mt. Robson area have now been checked.

By Kerry VitalNatural gas is no lon-
ger needed exclusively by professional chefs and high-end homes.
Homeowners are increasingly choos-ing natural gas in their kitchens, living spaces and even outdoors.
“A lot more people are choosing natural gas these days, especial-ly in the kitchen,” says Stephanie Malhas, inte-rior designer at Sarah Gallop Design Inc. (SGDI).
“People like the qual-ity and evenness of cooking with a natural gas cooktop.”
Natural gas applianc-es can be found in many styles, including tradi-tional free-standing ranges, built-in ranges, professional-looking cooktops and single or double wall ovens.
“It’s a more profes-sional kind of cooking.”
It’s also faster. FortisBC notes that natural gas cooktops heat up instantly and provide precise temper-ature control. Natural gas ovens are natu-rally convection ovens, circulating air continu-ously around your food and ensuring that it cooks or bakes evenly.
However, it’s not just the kitchen that can benefit from a natural gas makeover. Outdoor
spaces and living areas are also tops on the list.
“Everybody likes an outdoor fire pit now,” says Susanne Doise of Sensitive Design Inc.
“You want to create an outdoor space that you can use for three seasons of the year.”
When it comes to that outdoor space, you have many more options than just the fire pit. Doise says she’s recently designed entire outdoor kitchens, which can be easily connected to your home’s natural gas sup-ply.
She and Malhas also note the increase in people installing patio heaters, so they don’t have to head inside as soon as it starts getting a bit chilly.
“It’s kind of like camping in your own backyard,” says Malhas. “You get the informality of outdoor space with the convenience of nat-ural gas.”
Natural gas is avail-able at the push of a button, so you no longer need to wait for your fireplace or cooktop to heat up or worry about running out of propane for your outdoor bar-becue. It’s also more energy-efficient for space and water heat-ing, saving you money on your heating bills.
FortisBC offers an
online energy calcula-tor that will help you compare the cost of fuel sources and their energy efficiency, demonstrat-ing that natural gas is the most affordable choice for homeowners. Find it at www.fortisbc.com/energycalculator.
FortisBC natural gas customers are continu-ing to benefit from some of the lowest pric-es in a decade. As of Oct. 1, customers will see a decrease for the cost of natural gas to just over $3 per giga-joule. More information can be found at www.fortisbc.com/rates.
Other outdoor options that Malhas and Doise have seen lately have been fire tables and full outdoor fireplaces.
“People are looking for an indoor-outdoor life,” says Malhas.
“You can install a fire table that looks just like a coffee table and can be used as a coffee table outside, with a linear burner in the middle.”
She’s also seen fire pits within an outdoor dining table.
“Natural gas brings warmth. It obviously brings physical warmth but also a warm ambi-ance.”
This is especially important in the living areas, where you want to gather with friends
and family.“There’s a lot of flex-
ibility when it comes to gas fireplaces,” says Malhas. “You can convert an old wood-burning fireplace, customize how it looks, whatever you want to suit your style, space and budget.”
Doise agrees, saying, “A fireplace in the living room becomes a focal point. You want to place everything around it.”
Installing natural gas in your home will also increase the resale value.
FortisBC has part-nered with Black Press on the Reno Me! with FortisBC contest, which began Oct. 7. Readers are encouraged to sub-mit a photo by Oct. 31 of their great room, kitchen or outdoor space and explain why
they want a makeover using natural gas.
One finalist from each category will be chosen to receive a consultation with an interior designer and a rendering of their space. Then, one winner will be chosen by read-ers to receive $10,000 towards their renova-tion, with the second and third place home-owners receiving $2,000.
Voters will also get a chance to win a $500 gift card towards the purchase of a natural gas appliance.
To enter the Reno Me! with FortisBC contest, visit your local Black Press paper’s website and click on the Contests link. For more information about nat-ural gas in your home, visit www.fortisbc.com/goodforhomes.

There’s a FOOD CRISIS in 100 Mile House.
The South Cariboo Food Security Committee has put out a plea for
food donations to support the hungry families and individuals in
need this summer.Local gardeners with extra produce in
their plots, and the general public through non-perishable donations, are being asked
to help with this food crisis.Children, youth and families are challenged
daily in having enough to eat, especially nutritious food.
