The holiday season can be a wonderful time of celebration and family; however, many people also find it to be a challenging period of stress, pressure, and even deep sadness.

Sometimes this can become overwhelming and folks, or their family and friends, might need someone to talk to and a little help with how to cope with issue.

South Cariboo Community Planning Council (SCCPC) executive co-ordinator Lea Smirfitt says it is such a busy time that it is easy to get overwhelmed, but she notes there is help available.

“As we get caught up in the season, we must be mindful of others and of yourself. Sometimes we get caught up and forget to take time for a break. The season has become so busy; [taking a break] has become increasingly important.”

Part of her message is the importance of

touching base with friends and family who may be at risk of suffering from seasonal stress or sadness, and they need someone to talk to.

Smirfitt offers some suggestions for who to call or where to look for assistance to deal with these challenges during the holidays, or any other time of year:

• Interior Crisis Line Network 1-888-353-2273; • Children’s Help Line 310-1234; • Child & Youth Mental Health 250-395-5633; • Interior Health – Mental Health & Substance Use Services 250-395-7676; • 100 Mile District Hospital 250-395-7600;• www.kidshelpphone.ca 1-800-668-6868;• www.heretohelp.bc.ca 1-800-661-2121;• www.crisiscentrechat.ca 1-866-661-3311;• www.youthinbc.com 1-866-661-3311;• Seniors’ Distress Line 1-604-872-1234;

100 Mile House Wranglers players Matt Wojack, left, Brady Ward and Braeden St. Louis, and Shari Bachynski displayed colourful plush toys for a “teddy bear toss” initiative during a home game at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre against Revelstoke on Dec. 7. The crowd tossed the bears on the ice following a goal by the Wranglers. The bears were donated to Loaves & Fishes Outreach, RCMP Victims Assistance, 100 Mile House Food Bank Society and the 100 Mile & District Women’s Centre Society.

The 2014 Dry Grad Formal Fashion Show brought more than 100 people to Martin Exeter Hall on Dec. 4.

Holly Johnson, who helped organize the show, says it won’t replace the spring 2014 Dry Grad Fashion Show, but rather enhance it by offering some formal wear earlier.

She adds this show exclusively featured many of the fancy gowns and elegant tuxe-dos available from Class Act Formals in 100 Mile House.

Johnson consulted with its owner, Rhonda Dobson, along with other regular show ven-dors on how to best present the formal attire options for prom.

“Rhonda mentioned it’s difficult in spring because all the girls and the guys usually have their dresses and tuxe-dos already by that time.

“So, I said ‘well, what if we do a small one just focusing on prom and have it early. Then the kids will be aware of what we have to offer here in our town’, and that is what we did. We showcased Class Act Formals just in a small fashion show.”

Approximately $720 was raised through tick-et sales over and above event costs, which will be split evenly between Dry Grad 2014 activi-ties and the Cinderella’s Closet program at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School.

Cinderella’s Closet loans gowns, suits, shoes and jewelry to grad students who can’t

afford them, so they wear them on their spe-cial day.

Some items were also

collected for the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society.

Johnson thanks all the event volunteers, including local singer/songwriter Candace Copley for performing at the event and Nicole Weir at Village Hair Studio for styling the models’ hair ahead of time.

She notes Dobson brought in a lot of extra dresses just for the fash-ion show.

Next spring, the fash-ion show will feature more clothing appropri-ate for graduation and from multiple vendors – the details for which are still being ironed out.

“If the Dry Grad group next year wants to try it again – I think it was really fun.”

Johnson adds it was also “kind of neat” to show the students all these formal clothing options are currently offered in 100 Mile House, and to do it well ahead of the grad cer-emonies.

Slip Slidin' awayWinter storm: Bad for roads — good for sportsRichard WrightFree Press

A storm that swept down on B.C.’s interior last week left roads resem-bling a skating rink and stacked up cars like an ice-racing event, but brought snow for the beginning of the skiing and sledding season.The low pressure system brought upwards of 25 cms of snow and temperatures down to -15 degrees C.100 Mile House RCMP report a collision-filled week throughout the 100 Mile House Detachment area which kept Interior Roads crews busy plowing and sanding.The chaos began on Thursday, Nov. 14th with three reported single-vehicle collisions; two on Canim-Hendrix Lake Road and one on Highway 24.By Friday Nov. 15th cars were

sliding off the road and into other vehicles. On Friday there were five single-vehicle collisions. Two were on Highway 24, two on Highway 97 just south of 100 Mile House and another at 103 Mile House on Highway 97. At 98 Mile a small vehicle slid off the road and down a steep embankment. 100 Mile Fire-Rescue service and BC Ambulance were called out to assist two children in the rear seat. Their removal took an hour but they received only minor injuries. There were also two collisions involving multiple vehicles. One vehicle slid into a semitrailer trav-elling north on Highway 97 near Wright Station Road while the other

accident was a vehicle impacting a logging truck on Exeter Station Road in 100 Mile. RCMP report that the occupants of these vehicles received only minor injuries. On Nov. 16, RCMP were conduct-ing radar enforcement on Highway 97 at the four lanes south of 100 Mile House. A vehicle was observed travelling very quickly north-bound on the ice and snow covered roadways. The vehicle was clocked at 49 km/h over the speed limit - 149 kms per hour.. The driver was sub-sequently issued a violation ticket for excessive speed. His vehicle was impounded for 7 days.The same day there were two single-vehicle collisions in Lac la Hache, the

first near Begg Road and the other near Lac la Hache Station Road. In both these instances, improper winter tires were a contributing factor.On Nov. 17, there were two single-vehicle collisions on Highway 97. The first was at the 109 Mile Hill, the second was at 111 Mile.Poor road conditions and acci-dents continued on Nov. 18 and 19.Kal Tire manager Al Hughes, speak-ing while his team hustled to clear a backlog of last-minute tire change-overs and replacements, commented on the use of “improper winter tires.”Hughes said, “We would be glad to see the banning of mud and snow or all-season tires in winter. They just don’t do the job proper winter tires do. I’ve been in this business 40 years but folks still argue, Why would you risk your safety?”Continued on A7

A fire broke out at the Cariboo

Roadhouse on Nov. 21 that had a few

folks worried about the potential to

lose yet another local landmark.

Thanks to the quick response of

the Lone Butte Fire Department

(LBFD), the fire was contained to

a portion of wall at the rear of the

kitchen.LBFD fire chief Jon Grieve says

the call came in around 9 a.m. and

seven members responded with

three vehicles, assisted by 100 Mile

House Fire-Rescue (OMFR) fire

chief Darrell Blades.

The rest of the OMFR crew and

the Watch Lake Volunteer Fire

Department were both on stand-by

for mutual aid if needed, Grieve

adds.“100 Mile had a couple of trucks

that were responding, but they

ended up standing down because

once we got there, we realized it

wasn’t a big issue.

“It was ‘a good one’ – a good thing

nothing worse happened.”

Grieve says the cause of the fire is

unconfirmed.

John Estok, who owns the land and

buildings, says he must have acciden-

tally started the fire while attempting

to thaw some pipes.

Cariboo Roadhouse restaurant co-

owner Brenda McNabb had called

him early on Nov. 20, he notes, to

let him know the water pipes to the

kitchen had frozen overnight.

Estok lives in one of the residences

on the property, but was in Mission

working on a contract job, so he trav-

elled to Lone Butte early the next day

to deal with the problem himself.

Estok explains he was attempting

to thaw the pipes with a heat gun

when somehow the wall ignited. He

isn’t sure how that happened.

The building owner adds the hot

air was blowing onto about two-and-

a-half feet of exposed pipe protruding

straight out of the wall.

“I guess it just got hot enough that

some ember or something got started

in it. I don’t know. It would have been

a little bit colder when it got down the

pipe there.”

After a time of working on the

pipe, Estok says he decided to walk

over to his house for a hairdryer to

spell off his heat gun for a bit.

“Next thing, Brenda is knocking on

the door [saying] there is a fire, and it

only took a couple of minutes.”

Estok says he immediately ran back

over to the restaurant, grabbed a

fire extinguisher and got a jump on

the small blaze with an extinguisher

before LBFD fire crews arrived a few

minutes later to take over with their

tenders.McNabb says the smoke was pour-

ing into the kitchen from under the

cupboards, so she was thankful to

have been present when the fire start-

ed.“I looked, and I said ‘oh my God

the place is on fire’. So, I ran over and

got John, and I phoned 9-1-1 right

away. The response from the fire

department was really good.”

The fire was contained to a portion

of wall and soon extinguished, but

Estok says he didn’t sleep very well

that night thinking about it all, and

got up a couple of times to double-

check the building.

However, “it’s all good” now, he

notes, as the damage was “very mini-

mal” and the fire department even

helped him get the water back on.

“It’s not a big job. I just replaced the

siding that I ripped out, and put new

insulation in there. And, now I see

there is [unrelated] work to be done,

so it will be repaired in such a man-

ner it is never going to be a problem

again.”He adds McNabb scrubbed down

all the smoky areas and reopened for

business the next day.

McNabb says she is feeling very

relieved, especially since she knows

how many aging structures have been

lost to fires in the South Cariboo.

“Kudos to the Lone Butte Fire

Department. They were very fast in

getting here, and our thanks to them

for getting it out right away, so we

didn’t lose our business.

“Because it is an old building, and

their response time was so good, it

actually saved it. If the fire had gotten

any further up in the wall, we really

would have lost it. It was so scary.”

It’s been an ugly sea-son for the Lac la Hache Tomahawks, and things didn’t get much prettier when the Terrace River Kings came to town on Dec. 7.

Terrace scored three goals in the first, four in the second and one in the third, while Lac la Hache managed only one in the middle frame and two in the last.

When the final buzz-er went at the Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena, it was 8-3 for Terrace.

A game with the Houston Luckies on Dec. 8 was cancelled because the Houston team bus had some mechanical problems.

Against Terrace, Lac la Hache played with a short bench, but oddly, they got better as the game progressed, coach Al Navrot explains.

Kevin McNab, Donovan Nicholas and Wilfred Robbins scored goals for Lac la Hache. Defenceman Drew Rose picked up two assists, while Ellery Brigham picked up one.

Navrot adds it’s been a tough year all around for the Tomahawks, which sits last place in the Central Interior

Hockey League (CIHL) with four points and a 2-9 record.

“It’s very frustrating. It’s been hard.”

The Tomahawks are currently dealing with a number of injuries to key guys.

But there are some bright spots this season, the coach says. He men-tions the play of Rose who won the award for top defenceman last year.

“We depend on him

a lot. He’s one helluva hockey player. He’s a very strong and moti-vated individual. He

pulls us through a lot of stuff.”

Organizer Lisa Evans says there was an excel-lent turnout for the Fifth Annual Christmas Craft Sale at The Hills Health Ranch on Dec. 8.

She notes there were 25 vendors on site, and it was busy in the morn-ing and afternoon with a bit of a lull at lunch-time, which allows everyone to catch their breath.

Evans says each ven-dor donated an item for the raffle and the proceeds were ear-marked for the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society.

“We were thrilled with the number of people who came out – vendors and guests alike. Every year, it gets better and better, and it’s a great place to Christmas shop.

“More and more people are spreading the word and more people are coming out every year. It’s great because we make some money for local charities, which change every year.”

Hills alive with gifts

Navrot also talks about how this kind of adversity could be good for the club in the long run.

“We have a lot of young guys who have never played at this level. If they stick with it, they’ll learn a lot. You learn how to handle those tough situations.”

Lac la Hache travels to Williams Lake to meet the Stampeders on Dec. 13. They host Quesnel on Dec. 14.

After that there are barely a handful of games left before the sea-son wraps up on Jan. 11.

Luckily, all eight teams in the CIHL make the playoffs.

A win in one or two of the regular season games remaining would go a long way with respect to restoring confidence and motivation, Navrot explains.

“To win one would defi-nitely be good for us. The guys play hard. They work hard. We need the breaks sometimes.”

Lisa Evans was happy with The Hills Christmas Craft Sale turnout.

RE/MAX Country Lakes Realty has dis-continued doing its long-running Christmas Train of toys and food hamper donations, but will be running its other, and new, charity programs all year round.

“We thought the Christmas Train need-

ed a new image/look or a facelift,” says realtor Darrel Warman.

Every couple of months, RE/MAX will be doing some-thing different for the community with our realtor-generated char-ity fund, she adds.

“We want to let the community know we

have plans for continued support to the commu-nity year round and not just at Christmas.”

Through the yuletide season, they are busy collecting toys and food to make Christmas a little brighter for folks in the community who could use a helping hand.

“We really want to give back to our com-munities, so we wanted successful results and decided to buy toys – lots of toys.”

As in the past, Warman says individ-ual RE/MAX realtors have donated substan-tially throughout the year to the company’s Give Back To The Community Fund.

“So we bought toys and all of them were purchased locally thanks to Donex, Pharmasave,

Century Home Hardware and Wildman’s Outdoor Store.

Warman notes all of the toys and all of the donations will be dis-tributed throughout the communities of the South Cariboo.

“We do encourage and welcome others in the community to drop off donations of food or gifts at our office (#2-441 Alder Ave. - next to Subway) Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Realtors collecting toys and foodRE/MAX Country Lakes Realty replaces Christmas Train with year-round program

Carole Rooney photo

The realtors at RE/MAX Country Lakes Realty once again this year have all donated towards the purchase of many toys to give to needy families at Christmas. They are also encouraging the public to drop off new, unwrapped toys or non-perishable foods at their office, and they will be distributed.

Every year at this time, Royal LePage 100 Mile Realty has gratefully accepted donations of food and toys to be given to local organizations to parcel out to some of the less fortunate citizens of our area, and this year is no exception. In previous years we have collected thousands of dollars worth of food and toys from the public.

Drop off your donations of toys, non-perishable food items or new clothes for all ages, any time between now and Christmas at our of� ce, 96 Cariboo Highway next to the Red Coach Inn and we will make sure they get to a deserving family!

British Columbia pharmacies are now banned from hand-ing out loyalty reward points to customers for prescription drug pur-chases.

The measure, which went into effect on Dec. 2, is already drawing outrage from shoppers and has sparked a legal challenge from Canada Safeway and Thrifty Foods, both arms of the Sobeys group that offer popular loyalty card points.

The College of Pharmacists of B.C. (CPBC) first proposed a ban in 2012, but shelved it amid strong public opposition.

However, the college’s board re-examined the issue after the pro-vincial election and unanimously approved the ban Sept. 20, argu-ing loyalty points are a powerful lure that can alter some shop-pers’ buying habits and potentially harm their health.

The bylaw prohibits various gifts, rebates, refunds and other incentives, not just loy-alty points.

The CPBC states such incentives are inappro-priate “kickbacks” to customers.

“After careful con-sideration, the [CPBC] still firmly believes that paying patients for prescriptions is unpro-fessional, unethical and unsafe,” it states on its website.

The CPBC argues some patients may go without their medicine until they can fill a pre-scription on a loyalty point bonus day.

It also believes patients with third-party insurance who don’t pay out of pocket may keep refilling a pre-scription after they no longer need it just to collect more points.

The CPBC calls that a drain on limited health care dollars and states drugs not used by the intended patient may

be abused by others or diverted to the illegal drug trade.

It states paying cus-tomers a kickback undermines pharma-cists’ integrity and the credibility of the profes-sion.

“Patients do not expect to receive pay-ments for other health services they receive, and drug therapy should not be the exception to that rule.”

The CPBC hopes a points ban will result in patients choosing a pharmacy or pharma-cist on their own merits, not inducements.

Some patients on Canada Safeway’s Facebook page write they may switch to closer pharmacies as a result of the ban on issuing Air Miles points for prescriptions at Safeway.

Victoria senior Randy

McEwen says he doubts anyone would delay fill-ing prescriptions for the sake of a bonus.

“Most Canadians are smart enough to make rational decisions,” adds McEwen, who uses pre-scription points to fly his children in from Edmonton.

“This ban discrimi-nates against the elderly and the chronically ill.

B.C. won’t support inquiry

Refusal leaves Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women policy a non-starter

carole Rooney

Free Press

Local First Nations women and

other women’s safety advocates are

disappointed and offended the B.C.

Liberal government won’t support

a National Inquiry into Missing and

Murdered Aboriginal Women.

Aboriginal Relations and

Reconciliation Minister Ida Chong

divulged the decision in her com-

ments at a recent National Aboriginal

Women’s Summit. This prompted

the BC Native Women’s Association

to send a protest letter to Premier

Christy Clark.

It explains support for an inde-

pendent Canada-wide inquiry has

been pledged by many provinces

and provincial, national and inter-

national organizations – on a list

that spans almost three pages – but

British Columbia’s support was nec-

essary for it to move forward.

Canim Lake Band (CLB) health

director Sheila Dick says she doesn’t

know who is pulling the ministry’s

strings, but at face value, it

seems Chong is “victimizing

her own gender.”

“A national inquiry, if sup-

ported, is a ‘foot in the door’

to establishing some policy

around the protection and

safety of [all] women.

“Where do we stand as a

gender? Are we not just as

important as the rest of the women

in Canada?”

While Dick’s position for the CLB

is in a health capacity, she has a

history of working extensively with

the problem and negative effects

of missing and murdered women

in First Nation communities. She

explains these unsolved crimes often

significantly affect the health and

well-being of the victims’ families.

Gail Edinger, who is the region-

al co-ordinator for the

Community Co-ordination

for Women’s Safety

(CCWS) Program, works

with the Ending Violence

Association of British

Columbia (EVABC), and a

South Cariboo resident.

She suspects the prov-

ince’s Missing Women

Commission of Inquiry, headed up

by commissioner Wally Oppal to

look at victims from Vancouver’s

East Side, is at the root of its lack of

support for a national inquiry.

“I would be speculating, but I’m

assuming the government feels they

have spent their dollars on the [pro-

vincial inquiry].

“[But] I think Oppal’s inquiry was

obsessively inadequate, and there

should be a federal inquiry.”

Dick adds the greatest num-

ber of the missing and murdered

Aboriginal women in Canada

is from B.C., and many of those

are not from Vancouver, but from

the Interior – such as those on the

Highway of Tears list.

In its failure to endorse the inqui-

ry, government is “victimizing” all

women across the province, she says.

“To me, it’s not only an attack

on Aboriginal women, but on rural

women. Just because we don’t live in

a larger area doesn’t mean we don’t Sheila Dick

Chase Mills, left, had the good fortune to be selected as the person to ride alongside Santa Claus in his sleigh during the South Cariboo Chamber of

Commerce Santa Parade on Nov. 23. The parade featured 32 entries and the Meridian RV float was deemed “Most Festive” by the chamber judges.

The night was filled with wonder and magic when the multi-tude of stunning stars, which adorned the 100 Mile District General Hospital, was lit up for the first time on Nov. 29.

The South Cariboo Health Foundation’s (SCHF) Starry Nights campaign is successful-ly raising funds for the local hospital.

The light-up cer-emony to spotlight the campaign throughout the holidays attracted more than 50 people to witness the stellar spec-tacle just after the Santa Claus Parade.

In a twinkling, “Snow Queen” Hilary Gosnell waved her wand and the stars lit up and sparkled like diamonds.

Spanning all across the front of the hos-pital – and even on lamp standards in the parking lot – some stars have detailed designs and others are awesome in sheer size and num-bers.

SCHF president Mary Shennum says lighting designer Tanya Lucente did a wonder-ful job in laying out the designs to maximize the overall effect.

“We thought the star-ry display was fabulous, and we already have ideas for making it even more spectacular next year.”

Folks reported after-ward that having the Eclectica Choir herald-ing the celebration with Christmas Carols was “a very nice touch,” she notes.

“It was our first year, so we thought we’d learn a lot about what

we should do different-ly. But, all in all, I think it went very well.”

She would have liked more people to participate in the campaign, the SCHF president adds, but

it is still bringing in some money for the all-important hospital equipment the founda-tion provides.

“We wanted to do the Starry Nights for fun-draising, but we also

wanted to give back and do something fun for the community.”

The board is grate-ful to all the “Health Stars” who already gave donations, Shennum says, adding she hopes many more will get on board, as the fun-draiser continues until Jan. 10.

“There will be more stars added periodically

as donations come in.”Founding Sponsors

have been “incred-ibly generous,” she explains, referring to the businesses that have donated $500-$1,000 or more.

“We think we will reach our goal of $30,000-$40,000 by January.”

FOTOS However, Shennum says she hopes folks won’t

forget the fundraising does need to continue to reach its goal.

She would like to remind everyone how impor-tant it is for SCHF to continue providing important hospital equipment, which often fills provincial funding gaps to meet patient’s needs.

One way or another, we will all benefit from sup-porting good local health care, and our medical needs only increase as we get older, she notes.

To give back a nice present to the South Cariboo community and our local hospital, which give so much to the citizens, Shennum asks folks who haven’t yet done so to consider becoming a Health Star or Founding Sponsor.

Several easy options are available: simply mail a cheque for $50 or more to South Cariboo Health Foundation-Starry Nights, Bag 399, 100 Mile House, B.C., V0K 2E0; drop it off at the South Cariboo Community Health desk (use rear entrance at hospital); or call M-J Cousins at 250-706-2926 to arrange for your donation.

FIND EVERYTHING YOUNEED IN THE CLASSIFIEDS

Why would you let me collect points on gas or banking, but not on prescription drugs?”

Canada Safeway and Thrifty Foods were slated to be in court on Dec. 10 seeking an injunction.

They argue the

incentives ban mainly targets larger chains and unfairly props up smaller independent pharmacies.

“There is no evi-dence that incentives pose a risk to patient care or safety, or that they undermine the ethical conduct of pharmacists,” states the Sobeys petition in B.C. Supreme Court.

Exempted from the ban are free or dis-counted parking or delivery services, and payment by credit or debit cards that gener-ate loyalty benefits.

Similar reforms have been enacted in Ontario and Quebec. B.C. has banned point awards on Pharmacare-covered prescriptions since 2011.

Irish Lake – Rainbow trout are hitting on a Williams wobbler, glo hook and meal worms, or an FST, glo hook and krill.

Lac la Hache – Kokanee are attracted to a Ruby-eye wiggler, glo hook and maggots, or a Williams wobbler, striper special and mag-gots.

Snag Lake – Brook trout are hitting on a Ruby-eye wiggler, strip-er special and maggots, or a Williams wobbler, glo hook and meal worms.

Fish report

Gaven CritesFree Press

Starting Dec. 15, tick-ets will be available for the Lone Butte Sporting Goods 2013/14 Fishing Derby, which goes all season until March 31.

Having the event run over three months, as opposed to the tradi-tional one-day derby, is a fresh idea by organiz-ers. It’s something they tried last year and a lot of people like this ver-sion, says store owner Mark Roseboom.

“It’s all season long and the true biggest fish of the season wins. We see some big fish.

“Last year’s rainbow was 13 pounds. I think the lake trout was in the

25-pound range. That’s what we’re looking for.”

Tickets are available at the store. Entries cost $5 for each species, which include kokanee, rain-bow trout, lake trout and burbot.

Sixty per cent of the pot will go to the heavi-est catch per species and 40 per cent to a mystery weight.

Having the derby run over a longer timeframe means anglers can fish at their convenience, and not have to worry about missing it if the weather doesn’t co-oper-ate or they can’t make it for whatever reason, Roseboom explains.

“We want people to be happy and not have to make it on one day

when it’s -30 C.”Entries can be caught

from any of the local lakes – Region 3 and 5 – and more than one fish can be weighed in. Fish must be caught in accordance with BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations. For more information, call 250-395-2217 or e-mail [email protected].

Public Advisory NoticeCariboo Region Lake Aerators

The British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF), under contract to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, advises that commencing in December lake aerators will be in operation on: • Irish Lake • Skulow Lake • Simon Lake

The purpose of the lake aeration program is to minimize fish mortality associated with reduced oxygen levels during the winter months on lakes at high risk. During periods of operation, the aerator units will create areas of open water and weak ice. The BCCF would like to remind residents to stay away from safety fencing placed around the aerators. Also, as a reminder to anglers, it is unlawful to fish within 100m of any active aeration unit (see pg. 10, BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis).Please direct questions or comments regarding aerator operation to:
