The building, which has housed the local Legion on Alder Avenue in 100 Mile House for 50 years, had its doors locked for the last time by Legion president Bob Wangensteen.

On Aug. 1, Wangensteen said The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #260-100 Mile House will carry on in one form or another. He added they will con-tinue providing services to area veterans.

“We’re not losing the Legion. The building is just shut down due to our financial situation.”

In a front page story in the July 16 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press, Wangensteen explained the Legion was out of money and just couldn’t pay its

bills, so it would be better to put a lock on the doors instead of accruing another month of bills.

“Everything is so old; you can’t get parts for anything; and no one remembers how it was done. Every time something breaks and it’s a major part, and it costs around $3,000 to $10,000 to fix it.”

At that time, Wangensteen said he was waiting to hear back from the Legion BC/Yukon Command (LBCYC) about sending some-one to 100 Mile House to look over the financial statements to see if there was something that could be done to rescue the local Legion.

However, he added there had been communication problems.

Wangensteen said they received a visit from a LBCYC financial officer a few days after the article hit the streets.

“He went through our finan-cial statements and said we were doing what we had to do by closing the doors. He added the building was just wore out.”

He said it was the right move and then asked if anybody had any ideas, the Legion president said, adding the officer explained the building is closed, but said we’re not going to lose the Legion.

Noting he felt the Legion building is a “white elephant,” Wangensteen said he told the financial officer he thought the executive had to get rid of it.

He suggested tearing the build-ing down and then constructing a new one that goes the length of the property and put about six or eight housing units in the back for veterans and seniors, and then have a small Legion up front.

Legion doors lockedLegion president Bob Wangensteen locked the doors at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #260 at 933 Alder Ave. in 100 Mile House for the final time on July 31. While the doors have been closed, the branch executive will continue to provide services for veterans and sponsor the local cadets.

Crimes in the South Cariboo are on the rise, heard the South Cariboo Joint committee when RCMP Staff Sgt. Blake Ward presented a quarterly summery at its July 13 meeting.

“I think one of the biggest things everybody should be aware of is that the crime rate has been increasing ... specifically property crime,” said Ward.

He explained the detachment is working with the North District analyst seeking connections and leads toward finding some answers.

“We have been able to put names to some of these offences ... unfortunately there are still some outstanding.”

Overall stats show property crime is up 4.52 per cent across the whole North District, he noted.

“That’s really alarming for us; that’s a big increase.”Ward said the largest peak in the crime rate is for

break-and-enters at both businesses and residences.“We have had a major jump in the past six or

seven months ... to go from four break-ins that occurred at businesses [in the previous time peri-od] to 13 is a huge, huge hit.

“Fortunately enough, we do have some people that have been charged for some of those break-ins, but for some of the others we don’t.”

One of the challenges RCMP face is that many of these crimes happen at night, so suspect identifica-tion is difficult with only the barest witness reports, such as “a dark-coloured vehicle,” he noted.

Ward added access to closed-circuit video moni-tors has helped in some cases, but across the board, too few businesses have them in regular use.

“They either don’t have them turned on, or they don’t have anybody trained to take the data off the equipment, or else they aren’t even working or they are using dummy cameras, and as a result, our investigation office often comes to a standstill.”

Police can take fingerprints and evidence from the scene of the crime, but video and witness information is often key to locating suspects, he explained.

The detachment commander said the investi-gation into a recent spree of business break-ins benefited from “very high quality” video imaging from one location, but the others had malfunction-ing video equipment.

“It seems to be a low priority for area businesses.”The importance of accurate suspect identifica-

tions and quality video images is a message RCMP are trying to push out, Ward said, adding trail cams can also be successfully used at residences.

Vandalism has also taken a sizable jump, he noted.

The passing of Jim Keller on July 25 has saddened a great

many folks across the South Cariboo who very much liked and respected him.

With a whole host of good friends from his more than six decades in the area, many are now reflecting on his amazing life.

They say Jim rode into 100 Mile House on his Harley motorcycle in 1953, along with Frank Baron, who was his lifelong best friend until Frank’s passing in July 2012.

His other good friends over the years included Donna Barnett and Brian Gilbert who share some of the stories told by, or about him over the years.

Jim was born in a cabin in Ontario on Jan. 2, 1931, and it is likely his birth was not registered, as no birth certificate was issued.

(His friends recall Jim’s challenge 65 years later to get his Canada Pension, despite having worked and paid taxes his whole life, and how the Ainsworth family lent a hand to get that sorted out.)

After his arrival in the South Cariboo, the young man soon earned a repu-

tation for his myriad skills from logger sports to cow-boy action, and plenty in between.

His amazing capacity for accuracy with throwing knives and tossing axes was just the tip of the iceberg for this man, who also had a great sense of humour, and a somewhat tough exterior, but a really soft heart.

Never one to stop learn-ing more skills, within days of buying a unicycle Jim was riding it all around town and up and down the 99 Mile Hill.

Brian was about 12 years old when he met Jim working at Bridge Creek Estate, and recalls how he and other children were amazed by the young cowboy’s excellent riding, and finely honed marks-man skills with guns and bull whip.

It was a “special treat” for the youngsters when Jim pulled out his six guns, he says, adding Jim once out-performed a United States number 1 target shooter.

Jim was “a friend to all, and a smart-ass on occa-sion,” Brian remarks.

Evenings could find Jim working as a waiter in the Exeter Arms Hotel bar,

where his antics entertained, and sometimes shocked the patrons as he jumped over tables balancing a tray-load of drinks or pretended a spill was headed for someone’s lap.

On the annual rodeo weekend, he always rode his horse right into the bar.

Never liking to be shown up by his friends, Jim would challenge them to logger sports and marksmanship contests, and pretty much always won. He once “claimed” Frank Baron’s

fame by beating him at axe tossing after his friend had returned triumphant with Vancouver’s PNE championship.

Jim worked for Ainsworth Lumber off and on for many years, particularly in the 1980s, as a faller,

in other forestry roles, and at the Ainsworth family’s gold mine.

A miner in his own right, as well as an avid trapper, Jim also worked gold pans and sluice boxes and ran traplines in the Likely and Horsefly areas.

Donna notes Jim’s excel-lence at snowmobiling, and also with cross-country ski-ing, which took him around

the province as a profes-sional event announcer and saw him train many local children how to ski.

As one of the South Cariboo's first devoted snowmobilers, Jim was sent out by his friends Jack and Donna Barnett, who had a dealership, to find a good place for snowmobile trails. The site he found, and helped to develop, is now home to the 100 Mile Snowmobile Club track and clubhouse.

Jim was a regular par-ticipant and organizer for snowmobile races, and his mastery of off-road machines also led him to enjoy ATVs, of which he had several.

Chuck Shaw-MacLaren was another longtime chum of Jim's who often partici-pated in those races, along with Chuck's sons.

"He was a real Cariboo character," says Chuck. "He did one hell of a lot of devel-opment around town, and for nothing – he didn't want any recognition for it. Anytime there was something to do, Jimmy was there to help."

When Jim experienced a bad crash on his Harley, he went straight out and bought another one, a blue-and-white model that became a

familiar sight for years in marking his meanderings around the region.

He was very gentle toward animals, and always treated the environment with great care.

Jim held a black belt in martial arts, and was a great storyteller who dearly loved to spin a yarn.

Anyone who frequents BJ’s Donuts & Eatery reg-ularly will know Jim, a longtime fixture at the cof-fee shop in his own reserved chair, and have heard some of his stories.

“Jimmy was an icon in this area – he was just incred-ible,” says Donna.

She adds he took pride in everything he did and was very independent, never asking for help, but always giving of himself.

Jim lived simply – except for his “toys” – and happily on his own, along with his faithful canine companions.

He is survived by his daughter, Tracy Walker, and four grandchildren.

While Jim would not have wanted any fuss or service, his family and friends are invited to swap tales over the coffeepot on Aug. 16, 1-5 p.m., at 6053 Skaday Rd. (southwest Horse Lake; bring a lawn chair).

Jim Keller enjoyed his on- and off-road machines, and is seen here on one of his quads in June 2013. He also spent plenty of time on his snowmobiles and Harley motorcycle, and in his earlier years, was also an expert rider of horses and a unicycle.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper vis-ited Governor General David Johnston to ask him to resolve Parliament on Aug. 2, which set off the start-ing gun on an 11-week election campaign that will see Canadians go to the polls on Oct. 19.

T he re are four candidates seeking the opportu-nity to represent the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo (KTC) Riding in Ottawa after the elec-tion.

Cathy McLeodThe incumbent

Conservative candi-date says she is ready to run on her record of

delivering for the KTC constituents.

“The past seven years has been an honour serving as your mem-ber of Parliament and I am extremely proud to have delivered on the priorities of Kamloops, Thompson and the Cariboo. Close to $350 million in federal fund-ing has been invested in strengthening each community in our rid-ing.”

She also extolls the party’s national accom-plishments that include:

• Delivering Canada’s Economic Action Plan, which has supported the creation of more than one million net new jobs;

• Reducing the tax burden on Canadian families and seniors to its lowest point in more than 50 years, includ-ing the two cuts to the Goods and Services Tax;

• Helping keep Canadians safe through

measures such as the Safe Streets and Communities Act;

• Promoting and pro-tecting Canadian values of freedom, democracy and the rule of law; and

• Keeping the gov-ernment’s promise to balance Canada’s bud-get in 2015.

“I look forward to the opportunity to continue to invest in the growth of our communities and I hope that I have earned your trust to continue working hard on your behalf.”

McLeod also invites all constituents to visit her campaign office at 285 Seymour St. in Kamloops.

Bill SundhuThe NDP candidate

says he isn’t surprised about timing and the length of the election campaign.

“Stephen Harper uses whatever levers

of power he can use to manipulate the sys-tem.”

However, he notes the KTC NDP is ready and has been ready for the campaign for a long time because of the possibility of a spring election.

“We think Canadians, as does the residents in the riding, have a clear choice – four more years of Stephen Harper and the Conservatives, or the NDP’s plan for change.

“We believe Harper’s plan just isn’t working. It looks like the is in near recession. We have a record trade deficit and we’re headed for the eighth straight fiscal deficit.”

Sundhu says he and the NDP think more and more Canadians are wanting change and are looking to Tom Mulcair and the NDP to replace Harper and the Conservatives.

“We believe in this riding, although I take nothing for granted, that we are best placed to defeat the Harper Conservatives. It looks like that outside of three or four high-

income ridings in the Vancouver area and perhaps one or two on Vancouver Island, where the Green Party is competitive, it looks like a contest between the New Democrats and the Conservatives in the rest of the province.”

“Over the next quar-ter, the North District will be focusing on those two areas.”

Ward explained the local crimes are being perpetrated by both criminals travelling through, and by some “new up-and-coming youth” getting involved in break-and-enters.

“Fortunately, one of the youth has left and we’ve seen a decrease in crimes that he was associated with.”

Two groups of local youth who have been in trouble with the law are also now under cur-fews and conditions, he added.

Ward said when sus-pects are deemed to be travelling, similar crimes have occurred in places like Kamloops, Williams Lake, Quesnel and Kelowna.

“Our numbers are so low ... that when we see an increase of two that’s a huge jump, [but] an increase of nine – that’s massive.”

“There is nothing else in the Cariboo for veter-ans’ housing and having the units filled would support the Legion operation, but you have to have money to do that.”

Wangensteen said the financial officer liked it and said he was going to take it back to the LBCYC.

“I would be out of line to say it would solve the problem, but it would make a big difference if we get the help.

“Veterans’ housing is very important. We had brought it up with Command before, but it this kind of stuff takes time.

“Command doesn’t

want to lose this Legion either, but they’re not going to dump money into a bottomless pit either.”

Wangensteen said there is a lot of money available for veterans’ housing.

“You could draw on the Dominion Command’s Poppy Fund and that would give us a percentage and this fellow said he would help us with grants. The money from Command would give us our 50 per cent of the costs and allow us to apply for other grants, which, in turn, would give us some money to build the building.”

Now, he added, the local Legion executive has to wait to hear back

from the LBCYC to see what direction they’re going to head going for-ward.

Meanwhile, Wangen-steen said the Legion will be still be running whether it’s through somebody’s house or “whatever it is.”

“We’ll still do Remembrance Day, take care of Legion business to help the vet-erans, and that kind of stuff.

“We will still be able to sponsor the 2887 Rocky

Mountain Rangers Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps. As long as we’re here the Cadets are

here; we may not have as much money as we gave them, but we will still be their sponsor.”

CRD considers water takeoverCarole RooneyFree Press

The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has authorized up to $180,000 of Community Works Funds for capital improvements to the 103 Mile Water System, should a local service be established.

Earlier this year, the area directors resolved to use up to $3,000 of Rural Feasibility Funds to conduct a study after receiving a request from Saunders Enterprises Ltd., for the CRD to

take over ownership of the 103 Mile Water Utility.

CRD chair Al Richmond says Saunders Enterprises has operated the utility for many years and is now finding it more dif-ficult to manage under newer rules and regula-tions for public water operations.

Currently, upgrades totalling between $457,000 and $542,000 need to be done to bring it up to standards, about one-third of which has now been committed,

he notes.“If we take the sys-

tem over, we can use Community Works (CW) funds to cover [that portion].”

Richmond explains the next step will be a public information meeting in the 103 Mile community in mid- to late-September to ask residents if they agree in principle with a water rate increase to cover the balance, which would involve a bank loan.

“We have a policy where, if there is work

needed, we tell them that up front – we don’t wait until we own the system and then say, ‘oh by the way the cost is going to go up’.”

Residents will be notified of the date, time and place for the meeting at a later date, he adds.

“[If supported], then it will go to the board for approval, and then we would have to go to referendum to get public assent to take it over and to borrow the money required to do the upgrading.”

Richmond says more CRD waterworks per-sonnel are required to manage the system, with one new employee hired already to assist with the various water systems it operates now, including in Lac la Hache, 108 Mile Ranch, Gateway and Horse Lake.

This staff is needed to ensure a more time-ly and cost-effective response to more and more callouts for its rapidly expanding ser-vices, he explains.

Resident approval to be sought prior to referendum


Area residents who wish to ensure emer-gency personnel are available with the train-ing and equipment to get them out if they are ever trapped in a crashed vehicle will want to vote on an important refer-endum on Aug. 29.

If the proposal fails at the polls, all high-way rescue services in the South Cariboo will cease on Dec. 31 (with the possible exception of the Lone Butte fire ser-vice area).

The reason for the referendum is because the District of 100 Mile House has stated increased costs for train-ing and equipment have left an unmanageable and unfair burden on 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue, which performs the service in the South Cariboo.

To continue, it will need Cariboo Regional District (CRD) funding contributions.

The CRD has wrapped up its series of subregional open houses intended to educate taxpayers and answer questions about the potential impacts of a South Cariboo Highway Rescue Service Enhancement agree-ment.

CRD protective ser-vices manager Rowena Bastien said the tax impacts are very small for such an important service – for 2015, it will be $1.41 per $100,000 of property assessment.

The low cost may be why only three people turned out to the meet-ing held in 108 Mile Ranch on July 28 and just four (aside from fire department members) went to Forest Grove on July 22. However, a better attendance was seen at the Interlakes

Community Centre on July 23.

Meanwhile, Bastien expressed the CRD’s concern that taxpayers might mistakenly think “someone else” will voice approval for a “no-brainer” to keep such an important service with only a minimal cost.

The reality is, if too few folks turn out to the polls on Aug. 29, the vote could be slanted in a direction the majority of South Cariboo resi-dents might not want it to go, she explained.

The general consensus at the meetings, includ-ing at the Interlakes open house which about 40 people attended, has been in favour of the enhanced services, she adds.

Bastien notes the most common questions at all three public meetings surrounded what poten-tial there might be for a hike in taxation later, should the referendum successfully pass and the service continues.

Since this referendum involves a maximum

annual taxation of the higher of $40,000 or the new tax requisitions (if they climb higher than that through assessment increases), any fur-ther tax increase would require another refer-endum approval, she explained.

The maximum is set at $0.0192/$1,000, or $1.92 per $100,000 of total property assess-ment, she noted.

The highway rescue enhancement contri-bution would establish a service to provide a

contribution of funds to the District of 100 Mile House for the continued provision of highway rescue ser-vices in Electoral Areas H, L, and a portion of G. (A small northwest segment of Area G is covered by another, non-CRD service.)

However, Bastien said if volunteer fire departments did find the means to take this on in their own com-munities, costs would be greater for service area residents.

That’s because of the expensive rescue equip-ment (such as Jaws of Life and tools used to

cut open crushed vehi-cles) and training that won’t likely be shared across the greater areas.

Steve PowrieThe Liberal candi-

date says this election is about change.“All of the polls have shown the majority of Canadians want change and they’re out kicking tires to find out where that change is going to go.”

Powrie says the Liberals are offering a progressive, responsive and proactive approach to government where we start by “changing how we elect govern-ment but also how we do government.”

“One of the criticisms is the culture of gov-ernment has become toxic and it’s adversarial and counterproductive. What we’ve seen in the last little while is maintain the status quo. Today, Harper was say-ing these are temporary effects on the economy and we should wait it out.”

Instead of waiting things out, Powrie says

the Liberals are talking about responding to things and basing deci-sions on reason rather than ideology.

“Fundamentally, we are looking at changing how we do government, and then when we look at the platforms, what we would do in govern-ment.

We’re talking about a new relationship between the economy and the environment; respecting the new era in relations between aboriginal and non-aboriginal people; and our role on the global stage. We’ve lost a lot of respect over the last few years because of our take-our-marbles-and-go-home approach when we don’t agree with things.

Matt GreenwoodThe Green Party can-

didate wonders if folks are better off now than they were 10 years ago.

“Canada sure isn’t. We’ve seen our national

debt increase by 50% since 2006, our voter turnouts drop, job losses mount, noble parliamentary tradi-tions abused for venal political gain, and our Constitution tattered by laws the founding fathers couldn’t imagine being rammed through Parliament with no debate.”

Through all this, Greenwood says Prime Minister Stephen Harper has pretended his government is “con-servative,” but is it?

Consider some tra-ditional conservative values:

• Good fiscal manage-ment: the only surplus budgets Harper has ever run were the ones Paul Martin handed him.

• Supporting veterans and troops: is closing offices across the coun-try while endangering lives for photo-ops “support?”

• Respect for taxpay-ers’ money: Economic Action Plan ads for nonexistent programs and an election almost twice the usual cost.

• Smaller, less-intru-sive government: the civil service is now larg-er than it’s ever been and the federal Cabinet

comprises one-third of the entire Conservative caucus.

• Keeping us safe: Bill C-51 has literally made evidence obtained by torture admissible to courts, and the list goes on.

Help put the “con-serve” back into conservative, and vote Green.

The Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department received a callout for a fire in a house across the road from the Forest Grove General Store at 5:29 a.m. on Aug. 2.

Twelve firefighters from both fire halls #1 and #2 responded to blaze in the 4500 block

of Canim-Hendrix Lake Road.

The 100 Mile RCMP and BC Ambulance crews also responded to the blaze.

100 Mile House Fire-Rescue was called in for support at 5:39 a.m., and fire chief Darrell Blades says they responded with four firefighters, an engine and a duty vehicle.

At the same time,

the 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department was put on alert to cover for the 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue if necessary.

“The house was heavily involved when we arrived and nothing was saved,” Blades says.

“The owner of the house was out of the house and there was nobody else in the

home. There were no injuries.”

Blades says they were at the scene for about three-and-a-half hours.

The older build-ing was insulated with sawdust and that pro-duced a stubborn fire because it was tough to extinguish with the fire travelling through the sawdust in the building.

Fortunately, one of the

firefighters had access to an excavator and tore part of the build-ing down to expose the flames and fuel, so they could be doused by the fire hoses.

According to a Cariboo Regional District media report, it took them five hours to knock the fire down completely, and then they had to deal with mop-up to ensure there

were no hot spots that would allow the fire to rekindle.

The cause of the fire is still under inves-tigation.

The federal election campaign officially got underway on Aug. 2 when Prime Minister Stephen Harper asked Governor General

David Johnston to dissolve Parliament so there could be a federal election.

At 11 weeks, this election will be one of the longest in Canadian history. It will also be the costliest we’ve had in our country.

Legally, federal election campaigns have to be at least 37 days long, but regulations don’t set out a maximum duration.

The Tories, who have the largest war chest by a large margin, passed legislation last year that allows candidate- and party-spending to grow by as much as $675,000 for every day outside the 37-day window.

Canadian taxpayers will pick up the extra costs – estimated to be at least $125 million by the Liberals – to pay for Elections Canada monitoring of the extended pre-election, and we will also pay for the rebate the par-ties get after the election is over. In the Conservatives’ case, the Liberals estimate it will be $25 million.

When it comes to running an election campaign, there is a distinct advantage for the parties with the biggest war chests.

Obviously, the rich parties will be able to spend more money on advertising and flying their leaders into key ridings across the country.

Last year, the Tories raised $20 million to the Lib-erals’ $15 million and the NDP’s $9.5 million – all eclipsing what was raised by the Green Party and the Bloc Québécois.

Some parties have complained the incumbent Conservative Party has manipulated the election call to give itself the best advantage possible, but that is one of the trump cards the Tories earned by winning the last federal election. The other trump card is the flurry of handouts the ruling government tradition-ally gives out just prior to the election call, so it can-not be called “buying votes.”

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod was certainly busy in the lead-up to Aug. 2, as she handed new money for infrastructure or recycled promises from the April 2015 federal budget.

She gave several of the latter – Canada 150 Com-munity Infrastructure Program grants – that allow communities to make renovations to things like community halls and infrastructure projects like trail building.

However, these continue to be promises because the money doesn’t kick in until 2016.

Despite these obvious advantages, this election is going to come down to whether voters want to maintain the status quo or they want a change.

Ideally, we want to elect the candidate who will best represent our wishes and concerns in Ottawa

To make that decision, we have to pay attention.Readers are urged to send questions regarding this

riding to [email protected] or call the editor at 250-395-2219, so we can send them to our candidates for replies.

Campaign on

Storm clouds are forming over Canada’s economy.

Largely in part to a dramatic drop in world oil prices, Canada’s economy shrank during the first half of 2015. With a federal election imminent, politicians are looking for ways to convince voters they are “taking action” to “boost” Canada’s economy.

Overlooked in this rush to campaign is the primary factors causing our current malaise are outside the control of any Canadian politician (such as world oil prices, an exceptionally harsh winter and a slowdown in the U.S. economy). So it is depressing to hear the same old faulty argument that the best action government can take to help the economy is to provide “stimulus spending” in the form of deficits and debt.

We have been here before – in 2008 – when the federal government’s initial response was, wisely,

to largely hold the line on spending. Unfortunately, soon thereafter, the Stephen Harper government plunged Canada into a massive $55-billion deficit, egged on aggressively by the opposition parties whose chief complaint was the government was still not spending enough.

Fast forward to 2015, and it’s claimed this spending binge “worked” by turning the economy around. Yet, there’s little empirical evidence to support this view. A study by the Fraser Institute concluded the economic recovery was already underway by late 2009 – when most “stimulus” funds had not yet been spent.

Similarly, in 2010 the Parliamentary Budget Office was unable to conclusively identify how

many jobs were created as a direct result of deficit spending.

What we do know is Canada endured seven years of budget deficits and added

an additional $150 billion in public debt, bringing the total to $616 billion – or $17,600 for every single Canadian – on which we pay interest of nearly $29 billion annually. That’s $29 billion every year we can’t

spend on anything else, from programs for Canadians to further tax relief.

In spite of these lessons, when faced with the prospect of another economic downturn, what are our politicians now proposing? Mercifully, the Harper government has ruled out a return to deficits (although they are now spinning the increased Universal Child Care

Benefit as an “injection” into the economy, which it isn’t; it is simply replacing government spending with individual spending).

The opposition parties, in contrast, are in the odd position of simultaneously attacking the Harper record of deficits and debt as a failure, while implying that what’s required now are more deficits and debt. No party has put forward a concrete plan to tackle the $616 billion in debt we already owe.

The simple fact is governments piling up debt and deficits have huge long-term costs for little to no short-term benefit – with the main beneficiaries being the politicians trawling for votes.

Unfortunately, doling out “stimulus” in exchange for votes is often the most stimulating thing for a politician in an election year.

To the editor:Gosh it is hard to think about an

upcoming national election while in the midst of summer.

With so many things to see and do, summer trips, barbecues and parties, the beach and reunions, it is the furthest thing from our minds.

However, some of us might find that we have more time on our

hands – an excellent opportunity to ask our local MPs about their party’s platform.

I, for one, want to know which party will commit to getting us closer to the goal of 0.7% of Gross National Income (GNI) for inter-national aid spending. Please note that 0.7% is less than one per cent.

Can we not find it in our hearts

and in our pockets to give those less fortunate a hand up? Our aid contributions stand at just 0.24% of GNI, and have dropped from $5.65 billion in 2012, to $5 billion in 2013, to $4.2 billion in 2014.

Meanwhile, the United Kingdom has passed a bill that enshrines in law its commitment to spend 0.7% of its GNI on aid every year, mak-ing it the first G7 country to meet the United Nations’ 45-year-old aid

spending target.In 2013, only five other countries

– Sweden, Norway, Luxembourg, Denmark and the United Arab Emirates – had met or exceeded the 0.7% aid spending target. The Netherlands had consistently met the target, but fell short in 2013.

Canada must prioritize interna-tional development by committing to increasing our aid spending to 0.7% of our GNI by the year 2020.

C’mon, pull yourself away from the barbecue or hammock for just a few minutes, or maybe an hour and do a little research so you are armed for that fall election.

Better yet, let your MP know your thoughts while he or she is home enjoying those hazy, lazy, crazy days of summer.

To the weekend:On the weekend of July 18-19,

a contingent of people from Quesnel spent a very enjoyable time at Huber Farm in 70 Mile House.

Some were there to compete in the carriage-driving competition, some were there to help and some to just watch.

We were fed by the carriage club and the volunteer fire department – wonderful meals.

We all say a big thank-you for all their hard work!

People like us who use to just drive through 70 Mile House are missing a wonderful stopping spot.

As far as I know, all of the peo-ple and animals came through the

weekend healthy and happy. We even had a meal on Sunday night at the Dusty Rose pub with many of the participants, and we all hard a great time.

Thank you again for sharing your great little town.

To the editor:Cariboo Regional District

(CRD) residents of Areas H, L and part of G will be asked in August to approve via referendum proposed Bylaw #4963, which would allow the CRD to establish by means of a residential tax “a service to be known as the South Cariboo Highway Rescue Enhancement Contribution Service, for the pur-pose of providing a contribution of funds to the District of 100 Mile

House for the enhancement of its highway rescue services.”

As a resident of Area L, I find it extremely ironic for Rowena Bastion (CRD Protective Services manager) to claim in her e-mail of March 20, 2015 to Michael Higgins (Emergency Management BC regional manager) that it “just isn’t fair” that expanded areas within the CRD are not currently providing funding to the District of 100 Mile House for Highway Rescue Services.

Her claim there is some sort of perceived inequity can be challenged by the fact that there currently exists a very real inequity for those of us that reside along Highway 24 east of Interlakes – that being we are all currently paying assessments for the RCMP, yet we receive practically nothing in the way of highway patrols or traffic enforcement.

Rarely is any effort seen to curb the horrible driving that occurs

along this section of Highway 24. I can recall only seeing two visits by local RCMP in the last four years to conduct any kind of speed and traf-fic enforcement, which did result in several tickets and some vehicle impoundments, so the business is obviously there for the taking.

Perhaps if some of our current contributions to RCMP funding went towards more traffic enforce-ment in this area, then there would be less need for the District of 100

Mile House to recover costs from the CRD for rescuing those drivers who fail to drive appropriately and place themselves in need of this service.

Regretfully, until such time that we feel we receive adequate return in this regard for funding that we do provide, we will be voting “no” for Bylaw #4963.

Reader against paying for enhanced highway rescue

Hazy, lazy, crazy days of summer

70 Mile House hospitality enjoyed

Now that the political back-and-forth is over, there are two questions left about the

Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector investment in British Columbia history.

Will it actually happen? And is it a good deal or a bad one?

Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature.

“After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said. “But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said it would.”

For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead. The latest evidence is the company’s continued costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to minimize the marine impact. Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when they voted to

oppose the project in May.Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince

Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear – they see it as a lifeline for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry.

The B.C. NDP is also now clear, having voted against the project agreement in the brief summer session of the legislature that concluded last week. Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election issue in 2017.

NDP Leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia.

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guarantees contain qualifiers like this: “... except in those cases where … it is not reasonable or economically practical

to do so, use labour available within Western Australia.”

Obviously, there were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy, in other words a communist dictatorship.

Everyone agrees that specialized trades, such as welding alloys for low-temperature operation will be brought in. And LNG processing trains will be shipped in pre-fabricated from places like South Korea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere.

Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign

labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal?

Perhaps B.C. could attempt develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabrication, and it didn’t work out too well.

For David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects.

Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges.

Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal.

Drone interferes with wildfire operations

KELOWNA - The Westside Road wildfire is 90% contained, and remains at a size of 560 hectares.

BC Wildfire Service spokesperson Melissa Klassen said 60 firefighters are still on scene as of Monday (Aug. 3) morning, and are currently work-ing on mop-up to ensure everything is kept wet and cool. One helicopter was assigned to the fire on Saturday, however it was forced to land due to a privately-controlled drone in the area.

Thankfully the firefighters were able to overcome the lack of air support, but Klassen noted it was still a serious issue. She explained aircraft fly at low altitudes over fires, which poses a significant safety risk when there is other air traffic in the area they can't communicate with. Crews rely heavily on air support, and halting air operations can limit the progress they make on a fire.

Airspace over an active wildfire is restricted and illegal to fly over in a five nautical mile radius.

Price helps to raise $161,000 for Breakfast ClubWILLIAMS LAKE - The Breakfast Club of

Canada, along with national ambassadors NHL goaltender Carey Price and his wife, Angela Price, raised $161,000 at a benefit dinner July 15 at Kelowna’s Mission Hill Winery.

All funds will stay in B.C. and will be used in support of breakfast programs across the province.

During the private dinner Carey delivered an emo-tional speech taking the time to recognize the courage of young Trent Leon — the star of a recent Air Canada Foundation/BCC video — who drove all the way from Anahim Lake, Carey’s hometown, with his grandmother, Susan Leon and her daughter, Fannie.

“Proud of my roots, I have long waited to give back to my community in a concrete and lasting manner,” Carey said to the some 200 guests at the dinner.

“Thanks to the expertise and flexibility of the Breakfast Club, I was able to do just that.”

Carey’s goal as the club’s National First Nations, Metis and Inuit Ambassador, is to bring awareness to the issue of children arriving at school hungry and the impact this has on their behaviour and classroom performance.

100 Mile House RCMP responded to 111 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Below are high-lights of the week’s calls.

Busy weekendIt was a busy long

weekend on the road-ways in the 100 Mile House area for the 100 Mile House RCMP, as there were 23 driving complaints relating to vehicles and all-terrain vehicles (ATV) usage.

Cariboo-Chilcotin Traffic Services and 100 Mile RCMP issued 19 warnings and 61 viola-tion tickets. Patrols were conducted in various campgrounds in the area.

Enforcement was con-

ducted on the water on both Lac la Hache and Horse Lake, with both warnings and charges being issued for non-compliance.

ATV flippedOn Aug. 2, local

RCMP and BC Ambulance Services were called to a single, off-road vehicle incident at a private property on Canim Lake Road South, as a side-by-side ATV had been flipped on its side.

An 11-year-old pas-senger had suffered a broken arm and was transported to 100 Mile District General Hospital and transferred

to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.

Seat belts and helmets were in use by both occupants. Liquor was not a factor in this inci-dent.

Roadside checkOn Aug. 1, Cariboo-

Chilcotin Traffic Services and Commercial Vehicle Safety crews conduct-ed a check stop in the Interlakes area.

During this enforce-ment action, a male driving a Chevrolet Blazer attended the check stop and he dis-played symptoms of liquor consumption. An approved screening device was administered

and the result was a “fail.” A second test was declined. The 34-year-old driver was issued a 90-day immediate road-side driving prohibition. His vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days.

After this driver was dealt with, a male operating a motor-cycle approached the check stop. He also had symptoms of liquor con-sumption and blew a “warn” twice.

The driver was issued a three-day immedi-ate roadside driving prohibition and his motorcycle was towed and impounded for three days.

Prohibited driverOn July 30, inves-

t igators f rom C a r i b o o - C h i l c o t i n Traffic Services stopped a vehicle in 100 Mile House because the pas-senger was not wearing a seat belt. Queries were conducted on the 53-year-old male driv-er of the vehicle and it was determined he was prohibited from driving both under the Criminal Code and the Motor Vehicle Act.

In addition to a court date in 100 Mile on Oct. 13, the driver received violation tickets for other offences and the vehicle was towed and impound-ed for seven days.

OF THE SOUTH CARIBOO1-800-222-TIPS

Sometime within the last three weeks, a storage container was broken into at a residence on Lily Pad Lake Road.

A Husqvarna 550 chainsaw and a blue 2006 Yamaha Grizzly ATV were stolen. The value of the loss is not known at this time.

If you have any information on this or any other crimes in the 100 Mile House area, call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). You can also contact www.b c c r i m e s t o p p e r s .com. Your identity will remain unknown. Should your informa-tion lead to the arrest of the responsible party, Crime Stoppers will pay cash for the TIP.

On July 31, Interior Health (IH) issued a public alert to users of Horse Lake that the current algae bloom doesn’t currently pose risk to human health.

Water testing revealed the bloom isn’t pro-ducing chemicals that would impact human

health at this time.As it grows and

changes, it may start producing toxin. Therefore, IH encour-ages people to avoid surface water ingestion.

Residents using sur-face water are advised to disinfect and fil-ter it before use. This

removes naturally occurring germs, such as bacteria, viruses and parasites.

Residents unable to treat their water should boil all water used for drinking, washing of fresh fruits and vegeta-bles and making ice for one minute or use water from an alternate pota-ble (drinkable) water source.

Although currently no toxin has been detected, if the situation chang-es and water becomes

contaminated with algal toxin, boiling the water “will not” remove the

toxin and an alternate source (bottled water) must be used.

Algae bloom at Horse Lake

Some 2,866 households were out of power for up to two hours late on Aug. 4.

BC Hydro northern community relations man-ager Dave Mosure says lightning strikes caused damage to equipment in the 103 Mile Lake area causing the first outage to occur at 9:16 p.m., and all service was restored by 11:15 p.m.

Customers were affected from just north of Exeter Station Road (100 Mile House), 103 Mile Lake, 108 Mile Ranch, and Lac la Hache north-ward in a wide swath generally following the Highway 97 corridor to Enterprise Road (south of 150 Mile House), he explains.

The July 25 Lone Butte Rocks celebration was a wonderful free fam-ily day, hosted by the Lone Butte, Horse Lake Community Association, which enjoyed a suc-cessful day at the

community hall with A Way Out Band, the Maxwells and Britta per-forming on stage.

The event was financially support-ed by the Cariboo Regional District and a Community Gaming Grant. Community thanks and apprecia-tion goes to the many corporate supporters, businesses, organiza-tions, and volunteers who support this yearly event.

Your contributions, combined efforts and donations all came together to make this

year’s event one of the best ever. I don’t have room to thank everyone, so thanks everyone!

Fire departmentThe firefighters had

a successful event and raised funds for needed equipment.

Hotdogs, drinks, games, face painting, and fire truck rides were available there.

Local businessHank Smith of Smith’s

Special Souvenir Edition

July 23, 2015

THIS IS THE VILLAGE. Word has been received here by Ross Marks, interim village chairman, from the

department of municipal affairs, that incorporation of 100 Mile House has been approved by the government.

The news was contained in a copy of minutes approved July 27 by the Lieutenant-Governor recommending that

letters patent be issued incorporating the inhabitants of the area as a village municipality under the name of The

Village of 100 Mile. This picture shows evidence of the tremendous growth currently underway. In the foreground

is the old Cariboo Trail over which men in search of gold travelled north. Below is the recently laid four lanes of

pavement and at right the Exeter Road leading to the Paci� c Great Eastern Railway station. Large building under

construction is the ultra-modern Red Coach Inn. Towering in central background is the 100 Mile Secondary School

with a 30-bed dormitory in the striped building at left. At right of school is the three-storey Emerald Apartments;

large building centre right, the Exeter Arms Hotel; third white building at left of pavement is the new home of The

News-Herald.

— Carl Mellander photo, August 5, 1965

Fifty years ago,

a milestone in local

history was made

when the Village of

100 Mile House was

incorporated.

The first Interim

Council was

nominated, and

then elected by

acclamation, in the

100 Mile Community

Hall in July 1965.

Headed by

chairman Ross

Marks (who won

the nomination

by a landslide

over candidate

Spud Speers),

its four original

commissioners were

David Ainsworth,

Chuck Shaw-

MacLaren, Cas Copec

and Russ Fraser.

Prior to

incorporation, when

it officially became

the Village of 100

Mile House, the

community land

was entirely owned

by Lord Martin

Cecil (its modern

founder), under his

Bridge Creek Estates

holdings.Dating back to

more than a century

ago during the

Cariboo Gold Rush

days, the 100 Mile

roadhouse, now called

The Lodge, was a

stopping point on the

Cariboo Trail. It was

built in 1937, after

a fire destroyed the

original roadhouse in

the same location.

As more and more

houses and amenities

appeared in 100

Mile, business was

really booming in the

1950s-’60s.

By 1965,

incorporation had

become a hot topic in

the community.

S h a w - M a c L a r e n

has lived in 100 Mile

House since 1955,

and clearly recalls its

formative days when,

along with other

“movers and shakers”

of the time, he was

very involved with

the whole process.

He was among

the volunteers on

an incorporation

committee working

diligently toward

determining which

direction the

community wanted

to go.Numerous public

meetings eventually

led up to a 57/36

vote supporting the

change in June 1965.

It squeaked in at

61.5 per cent, with 60

or better needed for

incorporation.


explains a group of

businessmen that

held leases wanted

to have a village run

by local government,

primarily to have an

option open to buy

land downtown.

Once the

candidates were

identified, they

began working on

the legal process

with the provincial

government to be

prepared for the

July 5 nomination

elections.

Bona fide Village

born from

incorporation

Incorporation was hot-button

topic for whole community

By Carole Rooney, Free Press

First on the scene, before

the town of 100 Mile House

even existed, was the long

dirt road leading from

Lillooet to the gold rush

frenzy in Barkerville.

Stagecoaches rattled up

and down the old Cariboo

Wagon Road, and the

stopping place designated

“100 Mile House” (100

miles from Lillooet) boasted

ramshackle accommodation

for horse and man.

Dusty travellers ate and

slept in the old roadhouse,

and their horses were stabled

in the old 100 Mile barn, still

in existence today, though

moved to a fi eld at the north

end of town on 100 Mile

Ranch property.

Through the years various

people owned the stopping

house, now named Bridge

Creek House, as well as the

surrounding land. In 1912, an

Englishman named William

Cecil, the 5th Marquess of

Exeter, purchased Bridge

Creek House and the

12,000 acres of ranch land

surrounding it.

The arrival of the railroad

line in 1917 saw the end of

the stagecoach era, and the

Red Coach Inn at the north

end of town is today the

resting-place for what is

said to be the last surviving

wagon of the Barnard

Express and Stage Line.

Apparently that stagecoach,

recently given to the District

of 100 Mile House by the

Cecil family, came along with

the purchase of The Lodge

property in 1912.

The actual town of 100

Mile House began to come

into existence in 1930

with the arrival of William

Cecil's son, Lord Martin

Cecil, a 21-year-old English

nobleman who came to

oversee the property and its

2,000 head of cattle.

Fresh from the Royal

Navy and an elegant life in

England, Lord Martin was

known for rolling up his

sleeves and working hard

right alongside the seasoned

ranchers. It is said “He wore

patches on his trousers just

like everyone else,” and he

eventually became known

as “The Father of 100 Mile

House.”By the time Martin

fi rst arrived to oversee

his father's holdings, the

15,000 acre ranch was called

100 Mile House –

A legacy from the past

NOTICE OF ASSENT VOTINGSOUTH CARIBOO HIGHWAY RESCUE ENHANCEMENT CONTRIBUTION

CARIBOO REGIONAL DISTRICT

PUBLIC NOTICE is given to the electors within the proposed South Cariboo Highway Rescue Enhancement Contribution Service Area in the Cariboo Regional District as defined on the map following, that assent voting will be held on the following question:

“Are you in favour of the adoption of Bylaw No. 4963, which would establish a service to provide a contribution of funds to the District of 100 Mile House for the continued provision of highway rescue services in Electoral Areas H, L, and a portion of G?

Before their work place-ments, the students spent six weeks in the classroom learning about such things as building a resumé, job interviews and career develop-ment.

The program, which is

open to people aged 15 to 30, depends on support from commu-nity members opening their doors to par-ticipants, says Allie Valiente, a youth sup-port worker and YES facilitator.

“We really do rely

on them, especially in this community where we do have limited resources.”

The CFEC has applied for more funding from the fed-eral government to restart the long-run-ning program, which

usually goes twice a year in 100 Mile House.

“It requires a lot of money to run the program, but the benefits of the program are just endless. It gives people a job for three months, as well as when they leave, they have these lifelong skills.”

Despite adverse weath-er, the Fourth Annual Hootstock Music

Festival at the Old Bradley Creek Schoolhouse on July 24-26 was a roaring success.

An impressive lineup of singers, bands, dancers and wordsmiths over a period of three days ensured there was something for everyone to enjoy.

And those attending did just that by singing, cheering and dancing, encouraged by the performers – be there sun, wind or rain.

While the stage was covered, the audience came prepared by donning hats, colourful rain cov-ers and umbrellas, which were shed the minute the clouds parted again. Fun was to be had, no mat-ter what.

Also on offer were crafts and jewelry for people to peruse and appreciate. A crepes kiosk and fruit stand comprising of apples, apri-cots, peaches and cherries, as well as smoothies, guaranteed a healthy diet and that nobody went hungry.

Drawings, paintings, crafts and jewelry, T-shirts and other clothing, as well as CDs of the per-forming artists and friends, were available in the schoolhouse.

The schoolhouse was also the

place to seek shelter during down-pours, checking out all there was on offer and to get together for a chat with friends or make new ones.

With both stages occupied alter-

nately, musicians also chose this spot to practice, warm up or for simple jam sessions, which sound-ed most inspiring.

All in all, the 2015 Hootstock party was filled with song, dance

and the spoken word, captivat-ing performers, visitors and guests alike, filling the air with music and merriment from beginning to end.

Doris E Rufli is the Forest Grove correspondent.

Hootstock a real hoot for everyone

Doris Rufli photosOrganizer Astrid Hensey’s sister, Sunny Daye, from rural Nova Scotia proved her inherent love for music with her guitar, Quarter, by per-forming a variety of songs that were greeted with cheers and applause by those attending the annual Hootstock Music Festival.

New Brunswick born Kyra Bobyra performed a couple of songs, which were well received at the Fourth Annual Hootstock Music Festival at the Old Bradley Creek Schoolhouse near Forest Grove, July 24-26.

The event drew 125 registered shooters from all over British Columbia, some trav-elling as far away as Grand Prairie, Alta. and many from the Fraser Valley and northern B.C.

Among the top local shooters were Tamara Vanloon (first, ladies longbow); Dirk Dunkel (third, men's longbow); Anthony Silverton (first, cub's longbow); Wesley Silverton (sec-ond, youth longbow); denise swift (first, mas-ters ladies longbow); Shawn Altmannshofer (third, masters ladies longbow); Ted Swift (first, masters men's longbow); Rob Altmannshofer (third, masters men's long-bow); Kiara Pratt (first, junior recurve); Lily Grahm (first, tot's recurve); and Yak Crame (second, masters men recurve).

Nordics lock up funding for new trailGaven CritesFree Press

100 Mile House will have 12 kilo-metres of new multi-use trail for outdoor enthusiasts to explore follow-ing a $20,515 funding announcement by the federal government on July 25.

The 100 Mile Nordics Ski Society was granted the funds to develop a new non-motorized multi-use trail loop connected to the existing trail system at 99 Mile Hill.

The trail loop will be suitable for walking and biking during the spring, summer and fall months, and for ski-ing during the winter.

The funding will cover the cost of gravelling the trail, which will create a nice even surface and help protect

the trail from rutting in the sum-mer months, making it easier for grooming during the winter, explains Nordics member Kathleen Rottluff.

“This new trail loop will be easy terrain, suitable for all ages and all levels of skiers, bikers and walkers. There will be no user fee for these trails during the non-winter months. Trail development should be com-plete by the fall of 2016.”

The 100 Mile Nordics Ski Society’s facility and ski trails are located just south of 100 Mile House and offer over 50 kilometres of groomed cross-country skiing and snowshoe trails to the public for a user fee.

The funding announced on July 25 is on behalf of Western Economic Diversification Canada, a 25 year

old iniative aimed at diversifying the western economy and benefiting western Canadians, and the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, an infrastructure-related initiative that celebrates Canada's 150th anniversary of confederation in 2017.

A total of $105,785 was announced for three South Cariboo projects, which include $41,270 to renovate the Interlakes Community Centre in Lone Butte; $44,000 to upgrade the Clinton Memorial Hall stage and basement; and the $20,515 procured by the Nordics Ski Society.

The 100 Mile Nordics Ski Society is made up of local volunteers dedicated to the sport of cross country skiing, but who also recognize the impor-

tance of providing year-round access to outdoor recreation opportunities for the community.

The 100 Mile Nordics and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations - Recreation Sites and Trails Division – have a partnership agreement in place for the maintenance and use of the over 50 kilometres of groomed cross country ski and snowshoe trails at 99 Mile Hill.

“The renovations to this valuable communal space that is enjoyed by so many in the community will leave behind a lasting legacy that is sure to positively impact current and future generations,” says Cathy McLeod, MP for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo, in a news release.

The 100 Mile Model Flyers Club had 16 pilots take to the air near 100 Mile House with radio-controlled airplanes during a Fun Fly event on July 25-26.

The two-day event at 99 Mile Hill was a lot of fun, says the club's president Bill Hood.

Pilots chased balloons with their aircraft and played combat games at the family-friendly gathering.

While a majority of the pilots were local flyers, some travelled from as far away as Abbostford, Kelowna and Prince George.

A few first-time flyers also took the controls with an instructor using

a “buddy box” – a device that has two radio sys-tems joined together for

training purposes. “If somebody wants

to come up and try the buddy box, they're more than welcome,” says Hood.

The 100 Mile Model Flyers usually get together at the top of 99 Mile Hill on Sundays

between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Spectators are welcome to see the well-designed crafts take flight.

Hood can be reached for more information about the club at 250-397-2575.

Friends and driv-ers rallied and worked overtime to get the 9th Annual Combined Driving Event at Huber Farms in 70 Mile House up and running on July 17-19, after the course designer got sick before the event.

“There is not a thank you big enough for these great sportsmen and volunteers,” says organizer Ken Huber. “Volunteerism was spectacular this year, both before and dur-ing the carriage driving event.”

The annual event saw drivers and horses from around British Columbia take part in different levels of driv-ing

The Big Country Shrine Club passed on a significant dona-tion to the Shriners Hospitals for Children T r a n s p o r t a t i o n Program recently.

Club president Glen Clancy hand-ed over a $21,786 cheque to the poten-tiate at the Shriners of British Columbia and Yukon two-day Spring Ceremonial in Penticton in late May.

“We have conferences, and most of it is about looking after the new Shriners. We all go out to welcome them, and then we remember our ones who have passed on, Clancy explains.

“One of our own newest Shriners was installed at that time, and his name is Joe Hoffman.”

The donation was raised at the Second

Annual Shriners King Crab & Prime Rib Buffet & Auction held in 100 Mile House in April.

It will be used to sup-port the Shriners of British Columbia and Yukon-Shriners Care for Kids to help cover

capital expenditures for the improvement of their medical transpor-tation program.

The program buses

sick children, including some locally, in need of specialized care to Shriners Hospitals for Children across North America – part of a team that made medi-cal history earlier this month.

The multidisci-plinary medical team successfully transplant-ed donor hands and forearms onto eight-year-old Zion Harvey of Baltimore, making him the first patient to receive a pediatric hand transplant in the world.

“It was 40 surgeons over a period of 12 hours,” explains Clancy. “We have a lot of cutting edge stuff going on.”

More information on the Shriners hospitals and transportation pro-gram is online at www.bcshriners.com/gizeh/what_we_do.shtml. To read Zion’s story, visit w w w. s h r i n e r s i n t e r national.org, where it is linked under News.

The Third Annual Métis Music Jamboree is scheduled to take place Aug. 7-9 at McLeese Lake.

The weekend-long event will feature per-formances by many popular entertainers, a pancake breakfast, a $10 dinner on Aug. 8, and a concession.

Admission is $10

for a day, or a weekend pass is $20 (including camping).

This is a strictly drug- and alcohol-free event with security patrols.

To find the jambo-ree, take the Highway 97 turnoff to the McLeese Lake Rec. Centre and watch for signs.

More informa-tion is at http://bc metis.com/2015/06/metis-music-festival- august-2015.

THIS IS THE VILLAGE. Word has been received here by Ross Marks, interim village chairman, from the

department of municipal affairs, that incorporation of 100 Mile House has been approved by the government.

The news was contained in a copy of minutes approved July 27 by the Lieutenant-Governor recommending that

letters patent be issued incorporating the inhabitants of the area as a village municipality under the name of The

Village of 100 Mile. This picture shows evidence of the tremendous growth currently underway. In the foreground

is the old Cariboo Trail over which men in search of gold travelled north. Below is the recently laid four lanes of

pavement and at right the Exeter Road leading to the Paci� c Great Eastern Railway station. Large building under

construction is the ultra-modern Red Coach Inn. Towering in central background is the 100 Mile Secondary School

with a 30-bed dormitory in the striped building at left. At right of school is the three-storey Emerald Apartments;

large building centre right, the Exeter Arms Hotel; third white building at left of pavement is the new home of The

News-Herald.

— Carl Mellander photo, August 5, 1965

Fifty years ago,

a milestone in local

history was made

when the Village of

100 Mile House was

incorporated.

The first Interim

Council was

nominated, and

then elected by

acclamation, in the

100 Mile Community

Hall in July 1965.

Headed by

chairman Ross

Marks (who won

the nomination

by a landslide

over candidate

Spud Speers),

its four original

commissioners were

David Ainsworth,

Chuck Shaw-

MacLaren, Cas Copec

and Russ Fraser.

Prior to

incorporation, when

it officially became

the Village of 100

Mile House, the

community land

was entirely owned

by Lord Martin

Cecil (its modern

founder), under his

Bridge Creek Estates

holdings.Dating back to

more than a century

ago during the

Cariboo Gold Rush

days, the 100 Mile

roadhouse, now called

The Lodge, was a

stopping point on the

Cariboo Trail. It was

built in 1937, after

a fire destroyed the

original roadhouse in

the same location.

As more and more

houses and amenities

appeared in 100

Mile, business was

really booming in the

1950s-’60s.

By 1965,

incorporation had

become a hot topic in

the community.


has lived in 100 Mile

House since 1955,

and clearly recalls its

formative days when,

along with other

“movers and shakers”

of the time, he was

very involved with

the whole process.

He was among

the volunteers on

an incorporation

committee working

diligently toward

determining which

direction the

community wanted

to go.Numerous public

meetings eventually

led up to a 57/36

vote supporting the

change in June 1965.

It squeaked in at

61.5 per cent, with 60

or better needed for

incorporation.


explains a group of

businessmen that

held leases wanted

to have a village run

by local government,

primarily to have an

option open to buy

land downtown.

Once the

candidates were

identified, they

began working on

the legal process

with the provincial

government to be

prepared for the

July 5 nomination

elections.

Bona fide Village

born from

incorporation

Incorporation was hot-button

topic for whole community

By Carole Rooney, Free Press

First on the scene, before

the town of 100 Mile House

even existed, was the long

dirt road leading from

Lillooet to the gold rush

frenzy in Barkerville.

Stagecoaches rattled up

and down the old Cariboo

Wagon Road, and the

stopping place designated

“100 Mile House” (100

miles from Lillooet) boasted

ramshackle accommodation

for horse and man.

Dusty travellers ate and

slept in the old roadhouse,

and their horses were stabled

in the old 100 Mile barn, still

in existence today, though

moved to a fi eld at the north

end of town on 100 Mile

Ranch property.

Through the years various

people owned the stopping

house, now named Bridge

Creek House, as well as the

surrounding land. In 1912, an

Englishman named William

Cecil, the 5th Marquess of

Exeter, purchased Bridge

Creek House and the

12,000 acres of ranch land

surrounding it.

The arrival of the railroad

line in 1917 saw the end of

the stagecoach era, and the

Red Coach Inn at the north

end of town is today the

resting-place for what is

said to be the last surviving

wagon of the Barnard

Express and Stage Line.

Apparently that stagecoach,

recently given to the District

of 100 Mile House by the

Cecil family, came along with

the purchase of The Lodge

property in 1912.

The actual town of 100

Mile House began to come

into existence in 1930

with the arrival of William

Cecil's son, Lord Martin

Cecil, a 21-year-old English

nobleman who came to

oversee the property and its

2,000 head of cattle.

Fresh from the Royal

Navy and an elegant life in

England, Lord Martin was

known for rolling up his

sleeves and working hard

right alongside the seasoned

ranchers. It is said “He wore

patches on his trousers just

like everyone else,” and he

eventually became known

as “The Father of 100 Mile

House.”By the time Martin

fi rst arrived to oversee

his father's holdings, the

15,000 acre ranch was called

100 Mile House –

A legacy from the past

Big Country Shrine Club #50 (BCSC) remains a driving force behind getting sick children to hos-pitals.

Local Shriner Ray Matwick says the club raises funds to offset the transportation and accommodation costs of getting sick children and their families to Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Specially designed Care Cruiser buses carry local children plus an accompanying adult, from locations throughout the province to Shriners hospitals, as well as BC Children’s or Sunny Hill hospitals in Vancouver.

This is accomplished through the Shriners of British Columbia and Yukon-Shriners Care for Kids program that provides access to exceptional pediatric care based on medical need, not a family’s ability to pay.

The BCSC was inaugurated in September 1994, and its 14 members, called “Nobles,” also belong to the local Masons Mt. Begbie Lodge. (All Shrine Club members must first be Freemasons.)

The local club is fairly unique in that the wives (“Ladies”) are included in many activities, despite the Shriners and Mason membership restrictions to men only, Matwick explains.

It has also donated close to $30,000 to the South Cariboo Health Foundation over the years, and also supports BC Children’s Hospital as well as some local children and fami-lies in need, he notes.

Matwick has put together a book offering a pictorial tour covering the local club’s and the Williams Lake Shrine Club’s past 20 years (to 2014) of fundraising, community and group activities. He is offering it to club members at cost, so it is a good time to consider joining the BCSC, which welcomes new members (who are also Masons).

For more information on Shriners, call Matwick at 250-395-3107, or visit www.bcshriners.com where folks can also find details on the Shriners Care for Kids program.

NEWSPAPER BUNDLES

By Thelma FayleWhen Lone Butte res-

ident Al Jones dropped a framed picture of the Lion King that had been hanging in his daugh-ters’ bedroom for years, he was surprised at what he discovered beneath the shards of glass. As he stooped down to pick up the pieces beneath the colourful cartoon, a pen and ink sketch of the Lone Butte Hotel emerged.

The print, by Danish/Canadian artist Ole Pii, had been covered over by Polish exchange stu-dent, Asha Stencil, when

she decided to use the old frame for a cartoon she drew and wanted to give the Jones girls as a gift.

Pii’s meticulous art-work was a significant and exciting find for Al and Gayle Jones, as they have volunteered for more than 20 years with the Lone Butte Historical Society.

The Jones’ have enjoyed working with many friends and neigh-bours on a variety of community projects identified as historically valuable, local points of interest. Through their collective efforts, the society has worked on the revitalization of the water tower park, the old schoolhouse relocation, the cemetery cleanup, the construction of a cairn honouring old pio-neers, the Defenbunker

repair work, and the Alice Singleton heritage house restoration, just to name a few of their achievements.

“The community work has been a lot of fun for many of us,” says Al Jones, who graduated from the University of Victoria with a history degree some 40 years ago.

After he and Gayle raised their two daugh-ters locally, both have been keen to do all they can to help their friends maintain the historical treasures they value in their community.

The prized, discov-ered picture of the Lone Butte Hotel now hangs in the Jones’ kitchen.

“It would be my dream to see someone build a replica of the beautiful old hotel,” says Al.

“I believe it could be financially viable as a working historical B&B, with its half a dozen rooms. However, it would require signifi-cant financial resources to make it happen. But who knows?”

Until then Ole Pii’s inspiring print will remain hanging in the Jones’ kitchen; with the crow, Pii’s signature element, staring at the unused, non-smoking chimney.

Many thanks go to Asha Stencil, the Polish exchange student for inadvertently prompting a dream of recreating a piece of community his-tory – the Lone Butte Hotel.

Thelma Fayle is the author of Ted Grant: Sixty Years of Legendary Photojournalism.

The need in our community is again

CRITICALand YOU CAN DO

SOMETHING ABOUT IT.There’s a FOOD CRISIS in the South Cariboo.

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.With the food bank being on emergency hampers during the summer and the ever increasing need for food, our

shelfs are really low and we still have over two months to go before the Food Bank returns to their regular schedule.The following staples would be greatly appreciated at the

Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre, Loaves and Fishes and the Womens Centre

For more information, or to donate, please contact

Loaves and Fishes 250-395-2708

100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre 250-395-4093

• Pasta • Macaroni and Cheese • Canned Soup• Canned Beans • Peanut Butter (small jars) • Oatmeal

• Rice • Size 2 and Size 5 and 6 diapers • FormulaAnd anything else that a community member might have as a food donation. We will make sure that all donations are used by those in need. We also all greatly appreciate

fresh food including eggs, bread, vegetables and fruit

The newly established Community Place Garden at First St. & Birch Ave. is now harvesting; so help with watering, weeding and picking would be greatly appreciated; to learn your way around the garden, come down there on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. and speak to one of the co-ordinating

gardeners. That produce is there for the bene� t of the vulnerable population, and those who are hungry.

Many people decide to upgrade from their apartments or condominiums out of a need for more space. But even after moving into a new home, homeowners may soon begin to outgrow the room they have.

Rather than looking for a new home, some homeowners consider expansion. Expanding a living space can be expensive, and a more affordable option may be converting existing basement or garage space into something more livable. Garages already are built on a foundation, have four walls and a roof overhead, so a garage-conversion project is merely a matter of turning this utilitarian area into a living space.

Before beginning the renovation, homeowners should consider the bene� ts versus the cost of converting the garage. For those who are planning to grow old in a house, a garage conversion can be a worthy investment. But those who intend to sell their homes rather than retire in them may learn that a converted garage can affect home value and make it less desireable at resale. Compare your home to others in the area and see what your neighbors have done. If converted garages are the norm where you live, your own renovation may � t in with others.

Always apply for the proper permits and learn the zoning laws to see if a garage conversion is acceptable in your town or city. It’s best to go by the book so that work can be done in a proper manner and be inspected for safety.

Many homeowners hope their garage-conversion projects will make their garages seem like a seamless part of the rest of the house. To do so, you will need to remove evidence the space was once a garage. Slab � oor will need to be raised and insulated. Walls also will need to be insulated and � nished to improve comfort and soundproo� ng. Many garages do not have windows, so for the garage to function as a renovated space, windows may need to be added.

One of the biggest transformations will come by way of modifying the garage door entry. Some homeowners prefer to leave the existing door so that the home still has the appearance of a garage from the curb, while others remove the garage door and rebuild the exterior wall so that it has a window or another architectural element. An architect can help suggest design elements that will camou� age the original garage look and make the space seem like it was always part of the main living area of the home.

Landscaping work also can minimize the appearance of an old garage. Rather than having the driveway end at the wall of a home, shrubbery, pavers and other techniques can blend the garage renovation into the rest of the yard design.

Transforming a garage into a living space can add several hundred square feet to a home. Hire a reputable contractor and follow the municipal guidelines for modifying the space to ensure the job is done right.
