Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod is seeking Canadians’ views on how they would like to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
“As we plan for Canada’s 150th anni-versary, we want a celebration that reflects who we are as Canadians, where we came from, and what we can give back,” says McLeod.
“I invite all constituents in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo to tell us how they would like to celebrate in 2017, she adds.
“For many Canadians, this will be their
first opportunity to participate in a major milestone celebration. For those of us who
witnessed or participated in the cen-tennial celebrations in 1967, this will mark 50 years since that important commemoration.”
The government of Canada will undertake extensive consulta-tions, with meetings being planned throughout Canada. At the same time, Canadians are invited to participate in the consultations through an online questionnaire at Canada.ca/150 or
Canada150.gc.ca.
Over the next four years, on the Road to 2017, celebrations will mark key historic mile-stones that have defined our country.
In 2014, commemorations will include the centennial of the start of the First World War, the 75th anniversary of the start of the Second World War, the bicentennial of Sir George-Étienne Cartier’s birth and the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown and Québec conferences.
To learn more about the commemorations leading up to Canada 150 and to participate in the online forum visit Canada.ca/150 or Canada150.gc.ca.

Seniors in 100 Mile House will soon benefit from a $20,000 Age-friendly BC grant from the B.C. Liberal govern-ment.
The grant will support hiring an infor-mation and volunteer co-ordinator and set-ting up an advisory committee. The com-mittee will choose and start implementing pri-orities beginning with the establishment of a network of contacts in “satellite” communities to improve communica-tion and co-ordination of services in the region.
“With our popula-tion getting older, it’s important that ser-vices be suited to the needs of seniors in our community,” Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said when the grant was announced last week.
“That’s why I’m glad to see older residents in 100 Mile House benefitting from this Age-friendly BC grant.”
During the District of 100 Mile House council meeting on Dec. 10, Councillor Ralph Fossum talked briefly about the grant and started by thank-ing South Cariboo Community Planning Council executive co-ordinator Lea Smirfitt and chief administra-tive officer Roy Scott for all the time they put into the application.
Noting the applica-tion was to have 100 Mile House become an age-friendly “rural” community, Fossum estimated 80 per cent of the area’s seniors live outside of the District’s municipal boundaries.
“I think the bulk of the $20,000 grant will go towards hiring a part-time co-ordinator.”
The councillor added he thinks the joint com-mittee of the Cariboo Regional District directors and District councillors will like-ly get together to talk about how they would like to see services pro-
vided to the region’s seniors.
He noted there will be a need for office space for the co-ordinator to work with all the age-friendly rural com-munity project partners.
100 Mile House is one of 26 communities across the province to receive an Age-friendly BC grant this year.
All applications were reviewed by a com-mittee made up of staff from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) and the Ministry of Health.

Throughout the month of November, Sunrise Ford owner Leon Chrétien advertised his commit-ment to the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre’s (CFEC) 2013 Touch of Christmas campaign.
“For every vehicle purchased through Sunrise Ford, combined with a cash donation to ‘A Touch of Christmas’ by you, Sunrise Ford will double the donation up to $500,” he told customers.
Chrétien says he is proud to work with the CFEC and ‘A Touch Of Christmas’ fundraiser.
Sunrise Ford raised $1,662 for CFEC’s ‘Touch of Christmas Campaign’, which distributes Christmas hampers to children and families throughout the holiday season.
Chris Pettman, left, accepted a cheque for $1,662 on behalf of the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) from Sunrise Ford Sales Ltd., presented by employees Kim Johnston and Corey Wells in 100 Mile House on Dec. 12. The funds go towards the CFEC’s “A Touch of Christmas” program, which ben-efits needy families.

The B.C. legislature’s signature copper-clad dome is “beginning to twist, and that’s a problem,” MLAs on the legislature management committee were told recently.
That’s the most dra-matic symptom of deterioration in the 120-year-old structure – many structural prob-lems have been put off for decades and could cost up to $70 million to repair.
Legislature clerk Craig James reviewed highlights of an updat-ed engineering report that shows the delicacy of the task.
“The problem with every part of this build-ing is that when you go to fix one part of it, it’s attached to another part, which requires to be fixed as well,” James said.
“In fixing, for instance, the dome, it sits on these columns that are supported centrally throughout the rotunda, and we’re advised that if you fix the dome, you should really be looking at fix-ing the central portion too.”
The MLA committee was scheduled to meet last week to hear from engineers and decide on the next steps. Speaker Linda Reid noted other legislature renovations have involved moving government operations to another location for as long as 10 years.
The estimate for the most urgent work is $5.7 million, proposed to begin in 2015.
Construction on the limestone structure started in 1893, with
additions completed in 1915. It has many plumbing and electri-cal problems, and does not meet modern fire or building codes.
Other buildings on the grounds also have serious problems, including the former armoury behind the legislature because the upper floor has been declared unsafe for use.

At home or away, it hasn’t been easy for the Lac la Hache Tomahawks this season.
The local Central Interior Hockey League team met the Stampeders in Williams Lake on Dec. 13 and hosted the Quesnel Kangaroos on Dec. 14.
Both were high-scor-ing affairs between the East Division rivals, more so for the opposi-tion, however.
Williams Lake won 9-5, while Quesnel took
the two points with an 11-5 victory.
Lac la Hache (2-11) kept pace with Williams Lake (10-3-1) in the lat-ter part of their game, but the Tomahawks were playing catch-up having given up three goals in the first.
The Hawks scored twice in the second frame, with goals by Wilfred Robbins (Kyle Crump, Tyrell Dan) and Gilbert Robbins (Donovan Nicholas, W. Robbins).
Lac la Hache matched Williams Lake’s output in the final 20 minutes
with three goals, one by W. Robbins (Nicholas, Anthony Sellars) and two by Nicholas (G. Robbins, W. Robbins, Ty Moses).
Goalie Matt Brenner was in for 34 saves on 43 shots.
Against Quesnel (11-4) at the Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena, the Tomahawks got on the board first when Drew Rose (Kyle Crump) put one in just over a minute in the game. However, the Kangaroos answered with two within the next two minutes.
Crump (W. Robbins,
Rose) scored in the sec-ond period for Lac la Hache. Quesnel scored three and took a 6-2 lead into third, dur-ing which they scored five more. Lac la Hache goal scorers in the last 20 minutes were Rose (Crump), W. Robbins (Rose), and Dan (Crump, W. Robbins).
Goalie William Sellars made 30 saves on 41 shots.
On the bright side,
despite a guaranteed last-place finish in the East Division, all eight teams in the CIHL qual-ify for the playoffs.
Next, Lac la Hache travels to Quesnel for a rematch on Dec. 28, followed by games in Smithers on Jan. 4 and Houston on Jan 5. The Tomahawks are back in action in Lac la Hache to wrap up the regular season against Terrace on Jan. 11.
The holiday season can be especially rough for folks who have lost someone close recently or who lost someone close at this time of the year.
With all the messages of family togetherness and joy, the emptiness left behind when some-one passes away is in harsh contrast to what society seems to “expect” people to feel.
Below are some tips to help people get through a potentially hard time:
• Talking about the deceased person is OK. Your stress will only increase if the deceased person’s memory is allowed to become a landmine that everyone tiptoes around.
• Things won’t be the same. It’s normal to feel at odds with yourself and family events when dealing with grief. Do not isolate, but limit involvement when you need to and plan new events.
• Don’t let other peo-ple’s expectations dictate how your holiday will unfold. If you don’t feel like doing something this Christmas, don’t let others force you. If
you do want to attend holiday functions, make sure you know your lim-its. Leave early, arrive late, drive alone – do whatever you need to do to help yourself.
• Talk to your friends and family about how you feel. Many com-munities offer support groups for people who are grieving. Being around people who know what you’re going through can be very comforting.
• Plan a special time to celebrate the memo-ries of the person who died. Some families develop creative rituals like decorating a min-iature Christmas tree at the cemetery, donating money to a charity like Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), singing their favourite
seasonal song, reciting a special prayer before the evening meal, or even just lighting a candle. Symbolic gestures like these can help families validate their feelings of sadness and overcome the guilt of enjoying spe-cial occasions.
• Take care of yourself. Stress, depression and bodily neglect are not a great mix at any time of the year.
• Think about build-ing some new traditions. Remember that it’s OK not to do what you tra-ditionally do. Planning something totally differ-ent is not an insult to the memory of a loved one and can be a positive way to ease some of the pressure.

Royal LePage 100 Mile Realty realtors pulled off another successful Christmas Helper campaign, thanks to resounding community support.
Royal LePage spokes-person Ron Kelly says they began distributing toys, gifts and food on Dec. 17, but will accept
further donations until New Year’s Eve, and will make sure they get handed out where they are most needed.
“It’s been pretty good, and it’s much appreci-ated. The lawyers’ firms we dealt with were par-ticularly generous this year.”
100 Mile House resi-
dents and businesses have been very gener-ous in adding to the realtors own cash dona-tions, he adds.
The donated money is spent locally on food, toys and gifts at Safeway and The Bargain Shop, as he notes they both “very generously” gave Royal
LePage a significant dis-count.
“We almost double the money we put into groceries.”
This year, he esti-mates the campaign received donations in the $4,000 value range, and formed a huge pile at “Santa’s Corner” in the Royal LePage foyer.
The local organiza-tions that distribute it all to local families and individuals in need are Loaves & Fishes Outreach, 100 Mile House Food Bank, Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre and 100 Mile & District Women’s Centre Society.

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, some difficulty awaits you, but you are strong and fully capable of handling what’s coming your way. Maintain your composure and stick it out a little longer.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, this is your week to shine and let everyone at work know just how talented and devoted you are to the team. Enjoy the fanfare while you can get it.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Distractions are lurking, Gemini, but you will still manage to get things done. Somehow you find the focus needed to muddle through all the work.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Trust someone close to you with a few of your secrets, Cancer. Holding them in may only cause you grief in the long run. Don’t worry, your confidante will be supportive.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, an investment opportunity has piqued your interest. Until you sign over the funds, be sure to research everything thoroughly and call in some expert advice.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you have a lot on your plate, but you can handle it on your own. If things are to get done, you will get them accomplished of your own accord, even if it takes longer.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23More confidence is all you need to get back on the right track, Libra. Things are bound to work out in your favor, especially when you put your mind to something.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, just when skepticism seems to be taking over, you will discover once in a while there are a few surprises with happy endings. Enjoy your good luck.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, though unusual, your behavior might seem perfectly reasonable to you. But unless you share your thoughts with others, they may wonder what is going on.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Remember that words said in the heat of the moment will not soon be forgotten, Capricorn. Use some tact when discussing serious matters with loved ones.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, this week you will have to be very convincing if you want plans to go your way. Brush up your approach and think exactly what you want to say.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Take a few days to let your mind wander, Pisces. You will probably find being a free spirit to be a refreshing break from the norm.
HOW TO PLAy:Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line.

Barkerville Historic Town’s interactive mul-timedia photographic exhibit Who Am I?: Bridging the Pacific from Guangdong to Barkerville and Back started its next chap-ter at Wuyi University’s Museum of Overseas Chinese in Guangzhou, China on Nov. 11.
Barkerville’s chief executive officer Judy Campbell was present to open the exhibit Nov. 11, as part of a larger conference of museums from all over the world making presentations at Wuyi University.
The exhibit was officially bequeathed to the Museum of Overseas Chinese by Prince George Mayor Shari Green, as part of a twinning relationship between Prince George and Jiangmen, with the hope of increasing greater cultural under-standing and access to Chinese markets for northern British Columbia products.
“Wuyi University, par-ticularly the Overseas Chinese Research Centre, is extremely excited about bringing these photos and stories home,” said Campbell.
“The emotion they felt about this was evident.”
The wildly successful heritage initiative, which was funded in part by the Omineca Beetle Action Coalition, has received a lot of atten-tion on its current tour of China, including an Oct. 23 opening by the Governor General David Johnston at an event attended by the Governor of Guangdong Province.
It is hoped the Who Am I? exhibit, which focuses on the strong historical and cultural ties that B.C. has with Guangdong Province, can help develop and deepen relationships that will build a strong foundation for future economic interactions.
The exhibit, com-prised of 60 panels and more than 1,600 pho-tographs, allows viewers to scroll through pho-tographs mounted on iPads in the hopes of identifying some of the mostly anonymous Chinese immigrants who contributed much to the gold rush in Barkerville in the 1860s.
The vast major-ity of Chinese who made their way to Barkerville
came from Guangdong Province. The opening of the exhibit in that region represents a huge oppor-tunity to fill in some of the historical gaps involv-ing the interpretation of Barkerville’s historic Chinatown, home to the oldest ethnic Chinese structure in Canada, the Chee Kung Tong National Historic Site.
As part of a larger museum conference at Wuyi University, Barkerville signed an agreement with the Guangdong Museum of Overseas Chinese for the management of the Who Am I? exhibit, while successfully installing a smaller, permanent
satellite exhibit in a gift ceremony from the City of Prince George.
Plans have been launched to create a bilingual book covering the exhibition, and many worldwide connections have been established with museums around the globe with similar interests.
Barkerville is looking forward to the devel-opment of academic partnerships that will add to the knowledge of the Chinese community in Barkerville and our Chinese collections.
The university hopes to send scholars to Barkerville as early as next year.

Barkerville CEO launches Who Am I? exhibit at Wuyi University in China
Like Atlas, many peo-ple carry the weight of the world on their shoul-ders, but many people also suffer from shoulder pain and that can make carrying the weight of the world a bit tough.
Shoulders happen to be extremely prone to injury since the ball of the upper arm is larger than the socket that holds it. This results in many problems such as sprains, strains, disloca-tions, rotator cuff tears and frozen shoulder.
British Columbia’s physiotherapists want to share their Physio-4 for shoulders – four tips on how to get relief for painful shoul-ders and keep British Columbians moving for life.
“If you have shoul-der pain or suffer an injury to your shoul-der, seek the advice of a physiotherapist early on to determine the exact nature of your problem,” says Rebecca Tunnacliffe, CEO of the Physiotherapy Association of BC.
“Early treatment and following the Physio-4 for Shoulders can result in a faster and better recovery. Be mindful, however, that some shoulder problems require surgery, and professional guidance
is essential during your recovery. A physiother-apist can help you avoid common complications after surgery, restore your strength and flex-ibility and get you back to your activities as quickly as possible.”
1. The shoulder joint needs the perfect bal-ance of strength and flexibility to keep it in great shape and injury free. Your physiothera-pist can assess your movement and show you how to strengthen the rotator cuff to keep the shoulder positioned optimally in the joint to prevent improper mechanics while mov-ing the arm.
2. Improving your movement, strength-ening your shoulder muscles, and correcting poor postural habits can improve your shoulder function and reduce pain. Learning the right skills for your activity is important for preventing many shoulder injuries. Your physiotherapist can pre-scribe specific exercises to improve your move-ment and posture.
3. Frozen shoulder is a debilitating and pain-ful condition, which is
a common complication of many shoulder inju-ries. Physiotherapists can help with pain relief and a faster recovery, and show you how to keep the shoulder moving through the full avail-able range of motion to maintain optimal mus-cle balance around the shoulder girdle.
4. Shoulder disloca-tions, separations and instabilities require spe-
cialized rehabilitation to protect your injury and have you back to full activity. Consulting a physiotherapist can reduce the need for shoulder surgery; if you need surgery your phys-iotherapist will refer you to a physician.

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.”

There’s still time to write letters to Santa Claus, and he’ll write you back before Christmas, with the help of a lot of his helpers across the country.
Just put it in an envelope addressed to Santa Claus, North Pole, HO HO HO.
No stamp is needed because Canada Post sends letters to Santa for free, and then makes sure all the children gets a letter back from the jolly old elf.
To make sure you get a letter
back, be sure to include your return address, and put your letter in a mailbox before the mail carrier picks it up on Dec. 20, or drop it off at the 100 Mile House Post Office by Dec. 23.
But, the earlier you get your letter mailed, the better because Christmas is a very busy time at the North Pole.
Remember to include your own address. This is very important – Santa and the 100 Mile House Post Office’s want to make sure they can find you.
