Prosperity Mine open to opinionPanel hearings imminent for interested citizens

carole RooneyFree Press

Several individuals in the South Cariboo who hold Interested Party (IP) status for the proposed New Prosperity Mine project are honing their presentations with the public hearing process set to begin in Williams Lake on July 22.

IP Al Roberts says he will attend the hearing to show his support of the project and

relay his concerns about eco-nomic health, wealth and future of 100 Mile House to the federal review panel.

“I am absolutely 100 per cent in sup-port of the mine and, therefore, the future of this whole area. This is the only eco-nomic ‘bright light’ that’s coming up.”

After 32 years in local busi-ness, Roberts explains he has

witnessed a declining econo-my. He notes anyone can see the “reality” of the pine-beetle devastation to for-estry, and the schools closing, as families move away.

Roberts says he hopes the mine will bring families and youth back

into the community because the four-day shift “will work” for people who live as

far away from the mine as Bridge Lake.

“I know where we were yes-terday, I know where we are right now, and I am deeply concerned if we don’t get this [mine] where we are going to be tomorrow – and it’s not going to be good.”

IP Patricia Spencer says she opposes the mine and will address the panel on behalf of the Friends of Fish Lake organization.

Cowboy Clint Maier from Merritt took up sailing on the back of Pretty Girl in the exciting saddle bronc event at the 64th Annual Bridge Lake Stampede at the Bridge Lake Rodeo Grounds on June 29. Sunshine and very warm temperatures prevailed during the one-day rodeo.

Four people, includ-ing Buffalo Creek (just west of Forest Grove) couple Terry Gale and Rita Turnbull-Gale and their dog, perished in a mid-air colli-sion between a Cessna 150 and a powered glider over Nairn Falls Provincial Park camp-ground near Pemberton on June 29.

The pilot of the glid-er, Rudy Rozsypalek, was from Pemberton, which is 156 kilometres north of Vancouver. His passenger also died.

According to reports, the Gales flew out of the South Cariboo Regional Airport (108 Mile Ranch) en route to Vancouver Island.

Both of them were longtime employees of the West Fraser’s 100 Mile Lumber sawmill in 100 Mile House, and Terry recently was hon-oured at a long-service celebration.

The collision occurred around 12:20 p.m., and accord-ing to RCMP reports, wreckage fell onto the campground, which was full for the Canada Day holiday weekend. None of the campers were injured.

Ground Search and Rescue person-nel combed the area with members of the Pemberton and Whistler RCMP detach-ments.

The cause of the col-lision is unknown, but Transportation Safety Board of Canada inves-tigators are looking into what happened.

Role models announced

New health care training at PSO

100 Mile House student earns coveted crown

A new Health Care Assistant Certificate course will be offered to Grade 12 students at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO).

School District #27 (SD27) chair Will Van Osch says the dual-credit program will be avail-able at its secondary schools in partnership with Thompson Rivers University (TRU).

The school board says he thinks it is an impor-tant addition to the curriculum, both for students and for the community.

“I do believe it will be important, and there seems to be quite a desire for it.”

The aging population and growing demand for health-care workers in the region means this training certificate can also potentially ben-efit seniors, families and individuals in the South Cariboo.

“It definitely stems from a need, and one rec-ognized by not only the school district, but from TRU as well.”

The SD27 trustees recently endorsed the addi-tion of the new course upon a recommendation made by its education committee, Van Osch explains, and under the guidance of transition,

trades and training co-ordinator Gord Armour.“[Armour] makes sure there is a need and there

is a future in it. He also is very good at ensuring it is appropriate for [the students taking the course] at that time and for the specific person because it can be quite challenging.”

Any trades training at PSO that earns credits toward courses at TRU and is geared to meet local employment needs can also help keep young people working in their own community after graduation, Van Osch notes, rather than migrat-ing elsewhere to find jobs.

Susan Schalles, cur-rent principal of David Stoddard School in Clinton, will become principal of Ashcroft Elementary School (AES) on Aug. 1.She has accepted a transfer to School District No. 74 (Gold Trail) to take the posi-tion.Shcalles will replace AES principal Grant Reilly, who is moving on to School District #73 (Kamloops/Thompson) as the new principal of the Savona Elementary School.

ICBC has filed a notice of civil claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against 46 individuals charged or convicted for their actions in downtown Vancouver following the Stanley Cup finals game 7 on June 15, 2011.In the civil claim, ICBC is seeking general, special, aggravated and punitive damag-es; interest and costs. It has also named Jane Doe and John Doe as defendants in the civil claim for any individuals who have either charges pend-ing or are named at a later time.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett was sworn into office in Legislature on June 27, during the second day of the new ses-sion.The B.C. Liberal MLA kept her seat for another four year term – her second – by taking 56.44 per cent of the riding votes (6,952), defeating NDP Charlie Wyse who took 34.53 per cent (4,253).The opening of the 40th Parliament com-menced June 26 with Lieutenant-Governor Judy Guichon deliver-ing the throne speech.

School District 27’s (SD27) First Nations Role Models for 2013 are Heather WolfEar and Jeremy Smith.

Heather hails from the South Cariboo, where the 14-year-old just completed Grade 9 at 100 Mile House Junior Secondary.

Numerous First Nations dignitar-ies and SD27 staff were involved in the recent ceremony at Williams Lake Secondary School, where all of the role model nominees were honoured and the new role models announced.

Each role model nominee had a friend or family member escort them, who in Heather’s case, was her friend Sky Moses.

“They called each nominee’s name and we walked around the gym with our escort,” Heather says.

“I was really happy when I won; it was exciting.”

The ceremony included speeches in three traditional languages, and there was dancing and drumming.

The two new role models were crowned with specially-beaded crowns by the outgoing role models, Kasey Stirling and James Evans, who also wrapped them in blankets.

Heather explains Kasey and James also presented blessed eagle feathers to her and Jeremy, as a symbol of handing over their positions, who in turn gave them back traditional tobacco pouches.

Then, all four role models were cleansed with traditional smudges and the feathers.

“I put the feather in my feath-er case [at home]. I have different boxes for different occasions.”

Many of Heather’s family members from out-of-town later sent her their warm congratulations, she notes.

“They were calling from Alberta, Nanaimo and Quebec.”

The other nominees this year were Jillian Thomson, Sheyanne Setah-Turatus, Shemica Harry, Christina Sam, Courtney Zwack, Jerissa Charleyboy, Rae Alphonse, Denelle

Noskiye and Loretta Jeff-Combs.Jillian, 15, is a classmate of

Heather’s at 100 Mile Junior, and says she was pleased to participate in the rituals.

“It was a really good experience and I learned lots at the ceremony.”

The cleansing ritual was particu-larly interesting and informative, she adds, especially when the role mod-els from last year talked about each nominee, their essay and why they applied to be a role model.

“I like the speeches and how, when they talked, you danced around the audience. The drummers played and then we were escorted around the

audience ... [moving] to the beat of the drums.”

Jillian notes it made her “feel

good” to be a nominee and par-ticipate in the ceremony after her efforts in the application process.

“It took a lot of work to do it so that I was accepted to go there.

“We had to write an essay and get

our teachers to write us reference letters. It wasn’t just an application.”

Heather and James were each presented with role model tokens and a certificate signed by SD27 superintendent Mark Thiessen, board chair Will Van Osch, First Nations Education district principal David DeRose and education ser-vices director of instruction Jerome Beauchamp.

The new role models each also received a $500 bursary, which Heather notes she will use to attend various powwows, ceremonies and other First Nations educational events with SD27.

The update to the 2013 provincial bud-get handed down by Finance Minister Mike de Jong on June 27 didn’t reveal many surprises.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says, it was what she expected, as it closely matches the budget tabled in February, before the election.

“It really isn’t much different. Revenues are down [$900 million], and our forecast is for the economy to grow by 1.4 per cent, and 2.2 per cent in 2014 and 2.5 per cent in 2015.”

She notes both the accuracy of those fore-casts and domestic activity will rely on what happens with the United States and European debt crises, but she personally attri-butes the revenue drop to the global economy, and a decline in British Columbia’s retail sales and housing.

A two-year increase for personal income tax over $150,000 and a tobac-co tax hike in October match February’s budget, but the MLA notes she is pleased to see personal income tax and carbon tax now frozen for five years, as outlined in the pre-budget throne speech.

However, Barnett says she is not overly concerned about the $500-million reduc-tion for government operations across the

ministries.“That’s a good start.

Minister de Jong has said he will be pro-tecting health care, education and social ser-vices. I believe there is a long way to go ... but that government can cut costs without cutting services.”

As she emphasized in her election platform, new revenue streams are the answer to the eco-nomic crunch, Barnett adds.

Government’s planned acceleration of the BC Jobs Plan to grow its export sector, also emphasized in the throne speech, means finding and being competitive in new markets in Asia and elsewhere, she explains.

Barnett says increased training so workers in the province have the skills, the ambition and the ability to do the job will ensure they are first in line for jobs – if they

want them.“When the jobs are

posted, I would hope that we have the qualifications and the exper-tise in British Columbia, and that people are there looking for those jobs.”

P r o j e c t e d increases in nat-ural gas prices

from $2.25 to $2.89 per gigajoules within the next two years is a good thing for the revenues, although an increased burden on consumers, she notes.

“I think they are both important factors and, of course, if we can sell our natural gas to other jurisdictions, that’s where the benefit is to the taxpayers.”

Barnett says de Jong’s forecast for a drop in lumber prices from $348USD to $300 by 2015 is not something her constituents should worry about too much right now.

“I think the minister is being very responsible in looking at projections on the lower side. If that doesn’t happen and the world economy picks up, then, of course, that will change.”

However, she adds spending by govern-ment won’t change, at least not during the term of this financial plan.

“It’s a budget we ran on and it’s a budget we will stick to, and we will have to be very diligent in how we spend tax-payer’s dollars.”

By Shelly CarreraThirty residents attended and participated

in the discussion at a public meeting regard-ing the upgrading of the Forest Grove Transfer Station at the Forest Grove Community Hall on June 25.

Cariboo Regional District (CRD) representatives attended the two-hour meeting to give information and answer questions. They includ-ed CRD board chair Al Richmond, Area H Director Margo Wagner, environmental services manager Mitch Minchau, and solid waste management supervisor who gave a slide presentation.

Some of the reasons for upgrading the transfer station are: to reduce overall pro-gram costs; provide accessible, convenient recycling; reduce site abuse; improve edu-cation; increase amount of recycling; and reduce the amount of waste going into land-fills during the next 10 years.

It was noted that even though the dump site has good signage, there are still those who don’t follow direction and toss their household refuse anywhere they want.

With an attendant on site, waste loads

will be inspected and turned away if neces-sary. Throughout the day, the attendant will compact refuse in bins, metal and wood

piles, provide snow removal in the winter, and will direct folks to appropriate areas to get rid of their waste.

It was noted public access will be around 52 hours a week and the hours of operation will be determined after considering the comments of this meeting.

The main concerns voiced by residents present at the meeting

were the hours of operation and the site being gated.

Some people felt the proposed 8 a.m.-5 p.m. timeframe, with a one-hour closure for lunch, was not viable for most people who worked 9 a.m.-6 p.m.

Residents were not happy to hear that they will no longer be permitted to scavenge out of the metal and wood marshalling area, commonly referred to as “The Mall.”

Making sure oil, treated lumber, carcasses, plastics, concrete, asphalt products, insula-tion and sawdust are kept out of the dump will be some of the things the attendant will

be watching for. It was reiterated that site is a transfer station not a dump.

The CRD representatives noted contrac-tors dumping construction waste has been a real problem, it contributes to the cost of operations.

Hauling illegally dumped debris away costs the taxpayers thousands of dollars every year, the regional district representa-tives explained. Tipping fees will be charged for large waste deposits, such as house demolition.

There will still be a share shed and some people felt it would be a good idea to make it bigger to allow for larger items.

In 2014, recycling bins will provided at the Forest Grove Transfer Station. It’s hoped that the volume of garbage will decrease as recycling efforts increase.

A composting program will be intro-duced and subsidized composters will be available in 2014 at a reduced cost. However, it was noted they would not bear proof.

Residents were asked to be patient as the CRD works out the details.

If folks have any concerns, questions or suggestions, they are asked to go to CRD website at www.cariboord.ca.

Debt clock coming to 100 Mile Ken AlexanderFree Press

Jordan Bateman, who is the British Columbia director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF), is bringing the B.C. Debt Clock to the Cariboo, as part of his rapid fire tour of 30 communities in 14 days.

With B.C.’s provincial debt ticking upward at $215 per second and headed to nearly $70 billion by 2016, Bateman says the CTF felt it was time to bring

its iconic debt clock on a B.C. Tour.

Bateman and the Debt Clock stops on July 9 include: 100 Mile House near Tim Hortons on Highway 97 from 9 to 9:30 a.m.; Williams Lake near Tim Hortons on Highway 97 from 11:30 to noon; and in Quesnel near Tim Hortons on Front Street from 2:45 to 3:15 p.m.

The next stop for the Debt Clock is Prince George on July 10.

The CTF launched its B.C. Debt Clock tour

at a news conference in Stanley Park on June 26 because it wants to draw public attention to B.C.’s growing debt load.

“B.C.’s provincial debt will grow by a billion dollars every single quarter over the next three years – even with so-called balanced bud-gets. By 2016, today’s $57 billion debt will top $69.4 billion. We need to stop this clock.”

According to Bateman, B.C.’s debt grows by: $209 per second; $12,515 per

minute; $750,913 per hour; $18 million per day; and about a million dollars every 80 min-utes.

“Debt is a killer for future generations. It’s like putting our chil-dren and grandchildren a mile behind a mara-thon’s starting line.”

Bateman notes Premier Christy Clark has supported balanced budgets and even ran on a “debt-free B.C.” platform in the May provincial election.

“The premier has

talked the talk on debt reduction, but now it’s time to walk the walk. “She needs to stand up against special-interest groups looking for more tax money. Based on the election results, there’s clearly an appetite in B.C. for the premier to make good on her campaign promise of a debt-free B.C.”

Northern Develop-ment Initiative Trust chief executive officer Janine North spoke in 100 Mile House recent-ly about numerous funding opportunities available to the com-munity.

In her address to South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce members, she talked about how more of this money can be accessed by community groups and businesses – and how to go about doing that successfully.

North says almost 75 per cent of the projects awarded funding are in communities with fewer than 5,000 people.

“This isn’t a trust that’s created for a large community like Prince George, it’s created for our com-munities the smallest of which is less than 300 people. The average size of the community would be comparable to 100 Mile House, or a bit smaller.”

A non-profit Crown corporation that uses its return on invest-ment for its 14 annual funding programs, she notes those interest rates have been “doing well” for NDIT, with last year at 8.2 per cent and averaging 7.6 per cent over the past three years.

North explains this return is on a capital base of about $205 mil-lion, invested in stocks and bonds.

One of the pro-grams well-used in the South Cariboo is the Community Hall and Recreation Facilities Program, which she says has been accessed

by about a dozen groups.

This amounts to $3.2 million invested in local fund-contribut-ing grants (in various amounts) for 65 proj-ects valued at more than $8.7 million, North adds.

“The funding pro-grams are focused on three things: Building Capacity in Communities, Infrastructure in Communities and Supporting Business.”

However, she told the audience some pro-grams aren’t being fully utilized in the 100 Mile House area, especially in the business commu-nity.

“We’d love to see more businesses, and it would be the manufac-turers and businesses that are involved in the supply chain to major

industry. Whether it be for mining, forestry or energy – those busi-nesses should be taking a look at our website at www.northerndevel opment.bc.ca. We can help them with the con-sulting they need and the expertise to expand their businesses.”

She adds NDIT also works with compa-nies’ banks to provide loan guarantees for buying or “machining” equipment to increase productivity and out-put.

“There is a new pro-gram we’d really like to see the 100 Mile area take advantage of every year, and that is a Business Facade Improvement Program. It is up to $20,000 and is available to every community and region-al district across the trust.”

Individual busi-nesses can apply for up to $5,000 for build-ing facade upgrades through their local government, provid-ing they put in at least $5,000 of their own, she explains.

“The other new pro-gram we’d really like to see [accessed] in the 100 Mile area ... is called Supply Chain Connector. It’s a suppli-er-contractor database where all the business-

es can register onto a searchable website, which will showcase their business to major industry.”

North notes this could potentially target Spectra Energy, New Prosperity Mine and Imperial Metals.

This “massive data-base” will be a free to businesses, and she says it can also provide a website presence for those businesses that don’t currently have one.

“It will make them more accessible to major projects and pro-curement companies.”

North adds a cur-rent example is local companies “getting on the radar” of the Rio Tinto Alcan project in Kitimat.

“They’ve exhausted the contractor/suppli-

ers within quite a large geographic area and they’re looking farther afield, but they don’t have relationships with businesses in 100 Mile.”

The website appli-cation involves a 10-minute question-naire to self-register and the database will initially be populated with 1,500 businesses to get started.

To inquire about or apply for the database, call NDIT at 250-561-2525.

She encourages non-profit groups and businesses to also check out the NDIT funding opportunities.

“We are there to ‘help get to yes’ for funding.”

While Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s budget “update” on June 27 provided only a few changes from the B.C. Liberals

pre-election February budget, it was revealing just the same.

Government revenues fell about $900,000 short of what was speculated in February’s budget. The project-ed surplus also dropped from $197 million in Febru-ary to $153 million and pared contingency funds got it to that level.

On the positive side, natural gas prices are expected to go up, and de Jong expects to save millions of dol-lars by trimming government expenses.

Meanwhile, NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth slammed the budget update, saying the government’s financial conditions are crumbling. He adds it’s highly unlikely the B.C. Liberals will be able to come up with a real surplus at the end of the fiscal year.

Farnworth notes economic growth is at 1.4 per cent – down from the government’s 1.6 per cent forecast. He adds retail sales and housing starts are down, and people are leaving the province for jobs in Alberta.

However, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says the economic growth is forecasted to increase the next couple of years.

At first glance, the B.C. Liberal government’s 2013 pre-election budget doesn’t appear to be the “fudget budget” or “wriggle room” budgets of the past, but Premier Christy Clark’s “Debt Free B.C.” campaign bus banner appears to have been more of a clever political ploy than an economic reality.

The ploy didn’t win the election for the B.C. Liberals, but it did help separate them from the Adrian Dix-led NDP that couldn’t shake the bad-for-business image.

The provincial debt is a huge issue, and according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, it’s growing by $18.5 million a day.

The B.C. Liberals are looking to cut into the debt by trimming government costs, continuing to freeze public sector wages and sell off government assts.

The NDP claim the provincial government will cut important services and increase fees.

In terms of the province’s financial status, it’s not looking particularly good currently, and if the provin-cial economy is going to get better in the future, a few things are going to have to fall in place.

The reality of this blueprint for getting to a brighter future all hinges on the success of our old standby- natural resource extraction.

This includes logging export (prices expected to go down), mining and natural gas (prices expected to go up).

All of these sectors provide good-paying jobs and millions in tax dollar. They will have to proceed to revive B.C.’s economic health, but it cannot be done as a one-shot, wholesale sell-off.

Debt reduction needed

Canada’s role in fighting polio, once a dreaded disease

in our own communities, hearkens back to the earliest days of the struggle to find a cure.

Canadian scientists helped create the Salk vaccine in the 1950s. We were the first country to implement a successful polio vaccine program nationwide, becoming a model for public health programs aiming to protect children from this disease.

Canada was the first country to support the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, and we have been a leader ever since.

With the help of many partners, this global effort has eliminated 99 per cent of polio cases. But, now is not the time to rest on our laurels.

In a globalized world, with the frequent movement of people, no communicable disease can be truly isolated or contained. As long as

polio remains active, it remains a threat to us all.

In the process of ridding the world of this crippling disease, we would simultaneously create the architecture for routine immunization to deliver other vaccines for some of the hardest to reach children in the world. Immunization saves the lives of millions of children every year, and remains one of the most cost-effective health investments.

At the recent Global Vaccine Summit, held in Abu Dhabi, Canada announced a historic $250-million contribution to polio eradication in support of the Endgame Plan. This comprehensive six-year plan maps out how we can reach a polio-free world by 2018.

This new commitment will help the Global Polio Eradication Initiative implement strategies and

programs to eradicate polio and strengthen health systems, especially in the three countries where polio is a persistent problem – Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan.

It will also support efforts to ensure the supply of quality immunizations and the use of innovative

technologies for immunization programs, including infrastructure for disease surveillance and response systems.

With the end of this terrible disease in sight, we applaud all those who have helped the world come this far, including Canadian Rotarians and organizations, such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which are steadfastly committed to seeing all children vaccinated against the disease.

Furthermore, the End of Polio campaign, an initiative of the Global Poverty Project,

has engaged more than 1,200 Canadians across the country, together with Diaspora, community leaders, and Parliamentarians, voicing support for Canada’s commitment to polio eradication.

But dollars alone are not enough to carry us across the finish line. It will require community-wide support to enable the success of vaccination efforts.

While success is on the horizon, access to those who most need vaccination remains a major challenge.

We must move to safeguard the health of our children and future generations.

Canada together with the End of Polio campaign will remain committed to achieving a polio-free world.

GUEST SHOT

2007


To the editor:The cultures that have been

allowed to develop in our Senate and our federal and provincial leg-islatures are the results of a rapid deterioration of our colonial insti-tutions.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s decision to prorogue the govern-ment twice because he couldn’t have his way – 2008 to avoid a non-confidence vote, and in

2009, to suspend Parliament for three months, to dodge an ongo-ing investigation into the Afghan detainees affair – were tell-tale signs of what was to come.

When Bev Oda was found to have lied in Parliament, she should have been expelled promptly.

As the result of Harper’s stalling, the government lost a motion of confidence and was found in “con-tempt of Parliament.”

Since then Harper has used every opportunity to demonstrate his level of contempt for the peo-ple, our federal Parliament and the Queen.

Harper has appointed 58 people to a Senate that he insisted was going to be elected, and the spend-ing of billions of dollars without debate, zero transparency and no accountability have become the new norms.

Traditionally, a budget is a sepa-rate Bill, outlining in some detail the government’s spending for the year.

But Harper, in an outrageous display of contempt, packaged the budget into two Bills numbered C-38 (the Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Act) and C-45 (the Jobs and Growth Act), and rammed them through Parliament with virtually no debate.

Those two Bills included changes to more than 120 laws and regula-tions, and radically changed the way governments function in Canada.

Today, nobody can be held accountable for anything by any-body.

That includes the premiers, our

prime minister and our Supreme Courts.

To abolish the Senate would only serve as a distraction.

The Queen is no longer an effec-tive head of state, and the time has come to sever our colonial ties.

Then we can finally write our own Constitution, and become a sovereign democratic society where the people control the poli-ticians and the courts enforce the laws instead of rewriting them.

To the editor:Canadians’ faith in politicians

has been shaken in recent weeks and they are looking for changes to restore their confidence by mak-ing our politics more open and transparent.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau wants to raise the bar and restore Canadians’ trust in our institu-tions.

That’s why he put forward a plan to make our expenses more open than ever before.

The proposal requires MPs and senators to proactively disclose their expenses every quarter.

The information will be released online in a searchable format, so people can search, play with, share and actually get to the heart of any concerns they

might have.We’re serious about this, and

Liberal MPs will begin posting their quarterly expenses online in the fall.

This proposal was never meant to be the only solution – but it was a step all Parliamentarians could take right away to show Canadians the leadership they expect. Cabinet ministers have been doing it since 2004.

Beginning to repair our democracy should not be a partisan issue; we’re glad all parties have now agreed to look at the Liberal proposals to improve transparency around MP expenses.

Kevin Lamoureux, MP

Liberal Deputy House Leader

Raising the bar on transparency

To the editor:Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo

MP Cathy McLeod talks a lot about the federal budget, but she has been noticeably silent on its hidden tax increases on small business, so Liberal MPs are speaking up.

Small businesses and the peo-ple who work in them are the lifeblood of our communities.

Every year they create half of all new jobs in Canada and account for 40 per cent of our Gross Domestic Product.

Their success is critical to getting local economies moving again.

Yet in the budget, the

Conservatives are hitting small business owners with a tax increase that will cost them more than $2.3 billion over the next five years.

The government is once again choosing to hike taxes – not lower them.

This comes on top of anoth-er Conservative hike to payroll taxes – their third Employment Insurance premium increase so far – charges that are literally a tax on hiring more workers.

The budget also risks under-mining rural entrepreneurs’ access to capital by raising taxes on credit unions, making

it tougher for them to compete against the big banks.

All of these changes make it more expensive to own and run your own business.

As a former small business owner myself, I understand some of the challenges facing commu-nity shops, restaurants, cafés and other businesses.

That is why Liberals want government to be a thoughtful advocate for small businesses – and not to hinder them by adding to their tax burden.

Joyce Murray, MP

Hidden tax hikes hurt small business in Canada

Opinion

Call it the Beach Blanket Budget.Despite having to campaign once again

to win a seat in a byelection, Premier Christy Clark has ordered the legislature to sit without her through most of July to pass the budget that was tabled before the election.

This rare summer session ensures a couple of things. First, there will be less time for real financial results to contradict the rosy predictions made by Finance Minister Mike de Jong in February.

Second, it ensures there will be minimum public attention paid to the deliberations, as people focus on their summer vacations and put the business of running the province aside again.

B.C. Liberal house leader Mike de Jong insists there has been no decision made on whether the legislature will sit again in the fall. The standard schedule, put in place under former premier Gordon Campbell, calls for MLAs to assemble in October and November, to consider legislation, after a spring devoted to the budget and ministry spending.

This was a serious reform that went along with four-year scheduled elections. But Campbell soon abandoned this noble approach, with fall sessions dwindling to a few days to deal with urgent issues or disappearing altogether.

I expected Clark to reverse that after she led the party to victory in May and consigned the Campbell era to the history books. Open, accountable government and all that.

So why the summer session? I’m inclined to agree with NDP house leader John Horgan, who meets privately with de Jong in his role of government house leader to thrash out schedules. Here’s Horgan’s message to Clark and her government as he emerged from the latest meeting:

“You ran on a platform that you claimed you were ready to implement. And what we’re getting instead is, ‘let’s jam ’em in here while the media’s on holidays, while

people are at the beach thinking about other things. We’ll pass our bogus budget and then we’ll see you in February’.”

Is the budget accurate, or “bogus,” or somewhere in between? They’re always

projections, so that can’t be determined until next year. But the proposal to keep the increase in overall spending to less than two per cent, with nearly all the increase going to health and education, is difficult to accept.

During his time, Campbell topped the Fraser Institute’s ranking of most fiscally responsible premiers, limiting spending growth to 4.4 per cent. During those same years, average provincial economic growth was only 4.1 per cent, meaning that

under the supposedly tight-fisted, tax-cutting Campbell, government continued to grow to more than 20 per cent of gross domestic product.

Clark has indicated several times since her surprise election win that she intends

to make government smaller. That’s the difference between her “core review” of government programs and the one conducted by Campbell in the painful first years of his mandate.

This is why I mentioned last week that one of the more significant instructions given to Clark’s cabinet ministers was to examine turning the Liquor Distribution Branch into a separate corporation with its own board of directors.

That in itself may slightly increases the size of government. But it could be a preliminary step to selling the whole thing off and reducing the government’s role to taxing and regulating booze sales.

You can imagine how that would go over with the NDP, with former liquor store union boss George Heyman among the loudest opposition MLAs.

This is the kind of change that should be debated in public, not by press release.

Do you have any concerns about the School District #27 attempting to sell off 13 unused school properties to generate capital project money?

Donna ButtonHorse LakeYes, I do. Those properties might be needed, and they are busing everybody. I attended a one-room schoolhouse and did OK. Small rural schools are good and they help children retain their own iden-tity.

Ellen Meyer108 Mile RanchAs long as all that money from the sale goes back into the education budget, it is all right with me.

Kim MarchHorse LakeNo. With the school populations dropping more all the time, I think it makes good sense to put that money back into edu-cation.

Quinoa (pronounced Keen-wa), is the only plant food that contains all ten essential amino acids. Quinoa is actually a seed of a grain-like crop related to beets. It cooks like rice and is a nutritionally-sound food source to add to your diet.

The Mediterranean diet seems to be the best for a long healthy life. Imagine a pyramid with the widest bottom part listing fruits, vegetables, grains, olive oil, beans, nuts legumes and seeds (like quinoa). The next level up contains � sh and seafood. Above that is poultry, eggs, cheese and yogurt. And at the very top and smallest part of the pyramid: meats and sweets.

Our kidneys’ job are to � lter our blood. They � lter about 40 gallons of � uid every day. They hold back substances your body needs and lets the rest go out in the urine. High blood pressure or diabetes can damage the kidneys and if not controlled can result in kidney failure.

During the hot days of summer, it’s important to keep hydrated. About 90% of our body’s cooling comes from the evaporation of sweat from our skin. During heavy exertion in hot weather, we can lose two or more litres of water in an hour. Keep your water consumption up to prevent dehydration.

There are many summer ailments that can make our lives miserable. It may be sunburn, allergies, poison ivy, insect bites or simple diarrhea from eating too much fruit. Our pharmacists are always available for advice on the best treatment. See in-store and � yer for more!

Rona closing one of two Kamloops storesKAMLOOPS - Rona Inc. has announced it is

closing 11 “non-profitable stores” across the coun-try.

While the majority of the stores are in Ontario, three B.C. locations — including the Rona on Versatile Drive — are also on the chopping block.

Company spokeswoman Valérie Lamarre said in an email the Versatile store will close on Oct. 6.

“Because the store was under-performing and continued to lose money, Rona decided to close this location so that resources can be re-invested into other stores in the network,” she said.

The city’s other Rona store, located on Mt. Paul Way on the T’kemlups Indian Band reserve, will remain open.

Lamarre said the Versatile location employs 51 workers, most of whom are part-time workers.

She said the company tries to relocate employees where possible, but cannot always do so.

“We are going to make resources available to help them in this transition,” she said.

The Versatile Drive Rona opened in 2007.

Vanderhoof air quality worst in B.C.VANDERHOOF -Vanderhoof has the worst air

in B.C., out of any community, says the B.C. Lung Association.

The B.C. Lung Association released a report June 5 that stated Vanderhoof has 10.9 micrograms of fine particulate matter per cubic metre. B.C. Lung Association Program Manager Dr. Menn Biagtan has said that these levels are actually dangerous.

“There are groups of people that are very highly susceptible to the impacts,” said Dr. Biagtan.

The provincial objective is an annual average of 8.0 micrograms and even that can be deadly according to Biagtan.

The culprits are vehicle emissions and biomass burning most of the latter can be attributed to wood stoves.

Even Vanderhoof ’s topography may be at fault, the fact that it resides in a valley keeps a lot of tox-ins in the region.

Four people injured in Canada Day crashA multiple vehicle

collision occurred on Canada Day (July 1) at the north entrance to 108 Mile Ranch that resulted in minor inju-ries for four people.

At 10:38 a.m., 100 Mile House RCMP and the 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department rescue services were called out to the collision on Highway 97 at the inter-section of Kitwanga Drive, just in front of the 108 Heritage Site.

The RCMP report reveals a Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck turned left across the south-bound lane and impacted a black

Nissan Pathfinder, pushing that vehicle into a stationary U-Haul

van waiting to turn onto the Highway.

The female driver of

the Chevrolet S-10 was transported to Royal Inland Hospital in

Kamloops for treatment of a broken ankle.

The other three occu-

pants of the pickup truck and the SUV were treated at the scene by first responders and BC Ambulance Service crews. Then they were transported to 100 Mile District General Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Having sustained extensive damage, those vehicles were towed from the scene.

The driver of the U-Haul van was not injured and that vehicle did not require towing.

The police investiga-tion into the collision is still underway.

Three-vehicle incident near entrance to108 Heritage site

The Canada Day celebration at 108 Heritage Site started off with a bang of the wrong kind when the driver of Chevrolet pickup truck crashed into a Nissan SUV at the Highway 97 entrance to the site. The force of the collision propelled the Nissan into a stopped U-Haul van.

Summertime traffic safety importantSchool is out for sum-

mer and it’s an exciting time for children, as many are looking for-ward to spending more time outdoors.

It also marks the time when drivers and par-ents need to help keep children safe on the roads during the sum-mer months.

In 2012, 48 child pedestrians (aged five to 12) were injured in 47 incidents. This means all child pedes-trian-related incidents reported to ICBC involved a child being injured.

ICBC’s tips for driv-ers

• During the summer months, the 30-km/h speed limits in school zones are only in effect between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. if summer school is in session. However children often play

around these areas, so drive cautiously at all times.

• Drivers aren’t used to seeing crowded playgrounds and parks during the day, but this all changes in the sum-mer. Remember that playground speed limits remain in effect year-round. When driving around playgrounds and parks, observe carefully. Small chil-dren are less predictable and harder to see than adults.

• In residential areas, a hockey net or ball can mean children are play-ing nearby. Remember a child could dash into the street at any moment. Pay attention and always anticipate the unexpected.

ICBC’s pedestrian safety tips

• Parents are the num-

ber 1 role models for their children, so make sure you set a good example when teaching them about pedestrian safety. If your child sees you jaywalking, they will think it is OK to do and will do the same thing. Make sure you teach your child to cross at intersections that

have a pedestrian cross-ing light or a marked crosswalk whenever possible.

• Make your road safety teaching fun while still treating it as a serious issue. For younger children, try an interactive game by having them point out all the traffic signs they

see and ask if they know what they mean. For older children, remind them to put away their phones and remove their headphones when crossing the road.

• Children will digest information about seri-ous issues when it’s kept simple and relevant.

“Many of us enjoy going to Fish Lake (Teztan Biny) for fish-ing, camping, canoeing and other recreational activities. We enjoy the quiet setting, abundance of life and the spectacu-lar mountain views.

“It is our belief that Taseko’s mining plan will not save Fish Lake. The proposed mine will also impact the entire Fish Creek Watershed ... and it poses a real threat to the nearby salmon-bearing Taseko River.”

She notes the panel’s job is to determine the environmental impacts of the project and to make sure that First Nations have been consulted and accom-modated.

“Many people sup-port this proposed

mine because of the purported economic benefits, and we would also support economic development that is truly sustainable over the long term and that doesn’t create another boom-and-bust cycle for our region.

“However, this mine has many inherent problems and, therefore, many risks, including legal, environmental and economic risks.”

Mine supporter and IP Len Doucette will speak at the hearing and says it is “great” that process is immi-nent after a long wait, although “disappoint-ing” none will be held in 100 Mile House.

“I’ll be talking about the socioeconomics of 100 Mile House and the region in general. How, when we had the

Hendrix Lake [Boss Mountain] mine here, the town was develop-ing and growing until the mine shut down.”

He will outline the local population decline over the past decade, the closing storefronts and the lack of jobs, Doucette adds.

He says the recent landslide election win of Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, who campaigned on her support of the mine, shows local people are in favour the project.

“She won by 2,900 votes, and that’s the first time in [recent] history that a candidate has won by more than 300 votes in the Cariboo. That speaks volumes.”

IP Gary Young says he is undecided if the mine is a good idea, but he’ll address the panel

to ensure it understands the impacts – as he sees them – of recirculating the water in Fish Lake.

“If the pumping thing actually works for 20 years, what’s going to happen after the mine closes? Who is respon-sible to keep it working?

“The lake will never be saved in that regard. You are always going to have the tailings pile, it’s going to be leaching in ... you’d have to be

attempting to run the lake as an aquarium for the next 150 years.”

He adds the mine would bring economic benefit to Williams Lake, but he is skeptical it will do the same for 100 Mile House with the commute for the four-day on, four-day off shifts.

“[Taskeo Mines Ltd.] changed Gibraltar Mine to a four-day shift, and they did lose some workers.”

The planes and crews were back again to spray for the eradication of the spruce budworm.

For further informa-tion on the spray – Foray 48B from Valent Bio Services – go to www.valentbiosciences.com.

The operational crew advised the Foray 48B appears to be destroying the spruce budworm and has no adverse affect on other insects, animals or human, as it is a nat-ural bacteria that is fermented under a spe-cial process. A Valent Bio Services representa-tive was present during the operation.

The spraying has been so successful in the past the area to be sprayed this year has been reduced in size. Spraying started on June 27 and was com-pleted the next day.

The whole operation was based out of the South Cariboo Regional Airport (108 Mile Ranch). The BC Forest Service uses Conair planes and started spraying for the spruce budworm in 2000 to selectively kill the larval stage of the family and Foray 48B is the spray of choice to eliminate gypsy moths and tus-

sock moths.The Cariboo opera-

tion usually begins in June. Spraying starts around 6 a.m. only if the weather conditions are suitable.

When they’re not being used for spraying, the planes are refitted to fight wildfires.

Square dancingIt was great to see the

108 Mile Community Hall being used for the South Cariboo Square Dance Jamboree last month.

Around 150 danc-ers participated in the Jamboree, filling the parking area with their campers and vehicles.

Hopefully, we can attract more events, such as the Jamboree, to our area as it would help to support the hall.

Roads and trafficApparently, most

of the potholes have been repaired in the 108.

Let’s hope Interior Roads has requested funding for the com-plete replacement of some of the badly bro-ken up areas. Many of the roads in the 108 Mile Ranch are 40 to 50 years old.

The line markings on our roads appear to be disappearing faster than other places.

Speeding is still a major concern. It is suggested that if you see someone speeding, try to get the licence plate number, type and colour of the vehi-cle and call it into the RCMP.

A few days ago, a car went down the hill past our place so fast

that when it reached the flat area, the driver lost control swerving back-and-forth and had to work very hard to regain con-trol.

If this situation keeps up, we may have to request intervention from the police.

Mile 108 Elementary Fall registration for

new students will be held on Aug. 29-30.

School will resume for a half day on Sept. 4.

Computer scamThe scammers are at

it again, stating they are from the Royal Bank.

The e-mail claims there have been a series of attempts to access your account and they would like some person-al information from you.

This is a scam; do not fall for it and delete it as soon as possible. When in doubt throw it out.

I received one and I do not even have an account at the Royal Bank.

Do the math. Advertise in the newspaper.

During a late June evening, Eva Bechtel of Boultbee Road was weeding her flower bed when she spotted a fawn curled up between two shrubs next to her.

She kept an eye on the fawn into the eve-ning and became worried when there was no apparent sign of the mother doe. Thinking the fawn may be lost or abandoned, Eva called a neighbour for advice, which was to “leave it alone.”

It is common for does to leave their fawns in a safe location while they feed. A resident recounted her story where, on a farm many years ago, her toddler awoke from a nap on the grass in the back yard to find a fawn curled up beside him – the safe place where its mother had left it.

Seldom is human intervention the correct response to encounter-ing a baby critter unless it is in obvious distress. Even in the case of the most vulnerable look-ing fledglings on the ground nearby a winged parent is likely wait-ing to aid its return to safety.

In the case of the fawn at Lac des Roches, it was gone by morning.

Friends share newsThe Friends of Lac

des Roches and Birch Lake Society hosted several meetings to dis-cuss environmental and

forestry issues.These discussions

and other stewardship activities underway are explained in the annual community newsletter now distributed to all residences around the lakes. Everyone can read about these activities on the society website at www.lacdesroches.org.

Leaf miner returnsAlthough delayed by

the rain and cool weath-er, the leaf miner is back and turning the once-green leaves of the local aspen trees into a sil-very colour once again.

Movable lawn ornamentsLast year, a neighbour

woke up to a small herd of cows in her yard.

Other than scaring the beejeepers out of her young dog, she learned that half a dozen cows

can make a huge mess on a groomed lawn in a very short period of time and was quick to shoo them away.

Last week, she was surprised to see a large grey horse outside her kitchen door. The bark from the dog sent the horse retreating into the bushes.

An earlier horse sight-ing near McCarthy corner and hoof prints on the highway shoul-der near Lac des Roches resort confirmed that the “old grey mare ain’t where

she used to be,” referenc-ing the old folk song.

Weather forecastingA neighbour has been

texting a seasonal resi-dent not yet at the lake.

When the question arose about our weath-er, the humorous reply went something like; “sunny, windy, rainy, repeat every hour,” a perfect description of our weather pattern so far.

Bears and berriesTwo different black

bears crossed a neigh-bour’s property one day last week.

They may be attract-ed to the bear berry (or twin berry) bushes, some of which are now covered with the bitter black berries so popular with bears.

Residents should be mindful of anything they can do to detract bears from lingering

close to their residence.

Wonderful smellsAround the lake, “the

hills are alive” with the blossoms of wild roses.

Their scent, mixed with the sweet smell of lilac bushes finally in bloom, are an added bonus to the visual dis-play of blooming flower gardens that dot the yards of so many tal-

ented neighbours.While some resi-

dents have succeeded in incorporating the popular lupins, col-umbine, clematis and tiger lilies into their own domes-tic gardens, these delicate wildflow-ers can be enjoyed by walking the roads and trials around the lake for weeks to come.

Abandoned baby animals are safe when left alone

This fawn was left among the shrubs of a Lac des Roches residence while its mother foraged in the nearby woods for several hours.

Our passion. Your results.

Ken AlexanderFree Press

The Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) in 100 Mile House is looking for a few youth who would like to experience a day and a night at Educo A d v e n t u r e School free of charge this sum-mer.

In fact, there are two free sessions this summer with each one avail-able to 10 girls and 10 boys.

CFEC is foot-ing the bill for the youth, who must be between the ages of 12 and 18, through the Community Action Initiative (CAI) fund-ing the centre received around 18 months ago.

The money is com-

ing out of the Involve Our Youth (I.O. Youth) program, which was the result of the CAI appli-cation.

Bithia Harris, who is CFEC’s CAI youth proj-ect co-ordinator, says I. O. Youth – Involve

Our Youth – M e a n i n g f u l Y o u t h E n g a g e m e n t intends to motivate and integrate youth in the com-munity. The objective is to increase youth

attachment and capac-ity in the community at large, thereby decreas-ing the likelihood of at risk behaviours, she adds.

“By creating positive community attachment, not only does this give the youth a sense of ownership of their

community, but it also strengthens the youth profile in the South Cariboo. Our aim is to connect youth with numerous service groups to provide a youth perspective, as well as give the youth the opportunity to explore various career and volunteer possibili-ties.”

These experienc-es build confidence, capacity, awareness, knowledge and skills that will last a lifetime, she says.

One of the I. O. Youth activities includes offer-ing a free overnight experience to Educo Adventure School for South Cariboo youth, Harris explains.

This year, CFEC is offering two different dates for the overnight camp trip to Educo – July 8-9 and Aug. 18-19

for male youth aged of 12-18, and July 9-10 and Aug. 19-20 for female youth aged of 12-18.

Last year, the youth were able to experience the high ropes, kayak-ing and the climbing wall, Harris says.

“Educo provides the youth with confidence, positive interactions and leadership skills that will have a signifi-cant impact on the lives of the youth. This is an amazing opportunity to be able to offer our youth, while also sup-porting a local camp.”

Youth will be accept-ed on a first come, first serve basis.

For more informa-tion or to register, call Bithia Harris or Chris Pettman at CFEC at 250-395-5155.

Child traffic safety involves pedestrians, caregivers and motorists

Therefore, begin your pedestrian safety lessons with the key basics that you learned as a kid, which are still relevant today.

Crossing at intersections• Before crossing at intersections,

always stop at the curb. Make sure all vehicles have stopped.

• Look left and right for oncom-ing vehicles. Then look again over your shoulders for vehicles that might be turning. Teach your children to keep looking for approaching vehicles as they cross.

• Listen for approaching traffic that you can’t yet see.

• Even if the walk signal is on, teach your children to make eye contact with drivers before they cross.

• Teach your children to walk, and never run when crossing

a road.• Focus on teaching your chil-

dren where to safely position themselves when they are around roads. Children should always walk on the inside edge of a side-walk where they are less exposed to traffic. If there isn’t a side-

walk, teach them to walk facing oncoming traffic, so they can see approaching vehicles and make eye contact with drivers.

• Children should avoid short-cuts through parking lots where drivers can often be distracted by more complex manoeuvres.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure and that’s the premise 100 Mile Flyers Society is going on as members bundle up old radio-controlled airplane (RCA) equipment for RCA enthusiasts in Cuba.

RCA technology is ever-changing and the club and its members have collected a small mountain of out-dated parts over the years. The used transmitters, receivers and engines will soon be sent to Cuba and again be put into service by people who might otherwise not be able to afford to fly model planes.

Society president Bill Hood says when new, the equipment was worth several thousand dollars, but it’s old tech-nology and members now have no use for it.

“It would have been sent for recycling oth-erwise. It feels good for us to donate to the less fortunate.”

The gear will be driven to Toronto by

someone who already has a trip planned. From there, the Model

Aeronautics Association of Canada will ensure it gets to Cuba.

YOUTH AGAINST VIOLENCE LINE

1-800-680-4264Stand up. Be heard. Get help.

Following are the highlights from the June 7 Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Board on the Road meeting in Lac la Hache:

New playgroundThe board approved

endorsement of the Joint Committee deci-sion that Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre be authorized to build the natural play-ground at the forest fringe behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre.

It also agreed the CRD take on responsibility for the playground, sub-ject to commissioning by a certified play-ground inspector.

The playground project was previ-ously approved, and is included in the field maintenance agreement with the District of 100 Mile House.

Referendums setThe board has set

a Sept. 7 date for two upcoming referendums, and approved specific questions to be put to the South Cariboo elec-torate in just one trip to the polls.

They include:Recreation servicesThe South Cariboo

Recreation Service Amendment referen-dum will ask: are you in favour of the adop-tion of Bylaw No. 4837, which would amend the South Cariboo Recreation Service to allow a more broad

definition of recreation services, including arts and cultural services, and to increase the maximum annual req-uisition to the greater of $900,000, or an amount raised by applying a tax rate of $0.8721/$1,000 to the taxable value of land and improvements in the service area?

SAR fundingThe South Cariboo

Search and Rescue C o n t r i b u t i o n Establishment ref-erendum question will be: “Are you in favour of the adop-

tion of Bylaw No. 4825, which would establish a service to provide a contribution of funds to the South Cariboo Search and Rescue Society for search and rescue services in the District of 100 Mile House, Electoral Areas H, L, and a portion of G, with a maximum annual requisition not to exceed the greater of $30,000, or an amount raised by applying a tax rate of $0.0124/$1,000 to the net taxable value of land and improvements in the service area?

Natural playground approved CRDbriefs



As the school year draws to a close, so do the careers of three long-

time South Cariboo teachers.Tom Turner, principal at Mile

108 Elementary School, Karen Johnson from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO), and Donna Nivison from 100 Mile House Junior Secondary all retire at the end of June, following many years of teaching.

They’ve each contributed greatly to the education and social development of the many students who came into their classrooms, and of equal importance, each has also given that “something extra” that made school fun and much more than a place of just academic learning.

Nivison, characterized by her white hair, has been the nerve centre of the home economics department at 100 Mile Junior for more than 20 years, but her first teaching job was at Kelly Road Junior Secondary School in Prince George. Fresh out of the University of British Columbia, she took the position and stayed there for two years before moving on to fulfill her dream of seeing the world.

“I put on my backpack with a Canadian flag sewn on and trav-elled around the world for two years before accepting a job in Vanderhoof on my return,” she says.

The offer came via telegram at Canada House in Athens, Greece.

Nivison worked as a counsellor and home economics teacher at Nechako Valley Secondary School for six years before marrying

Colin Nivison, the local conserva-tion officer. The couple moved to 100 Mile House in 1981 when Colin was offered a job here, and at the same time, she was happy to find an opening as a home eco-nomics teacher at 100 Mile Junior.

“Although I blushed when prin-cipal Nick Watkins said his only concern was, ‘The room will make you pregnant,’ as others before

me.”That first year, the prophecy

came true, and Nivison pulled back for 11 years to raise the cou-ple’s two daughters, teaching part time at Forest Grove Elementary School and substitute teaching.

She jumped at the chance to get her old job back at 100 Mile Junior when it later became avail-able. Since then, it’s been almost a rite of passage for students in the

district to be taught to sew a pair of pyjama pants and bake cheesy biscuits by Mrs. Nivison.

She has gathered many fond and fulfilling memories along the way, such as running into a for-mer student in the grocery store and hearing about how he’s now creating his own recipes, and hav-ing the lab tech girl ask her for her Grade 8 macaroni and cheese reci-

pe while taking a blood sample.Nivison had not considered

retiring until this past March when the announcement of the 100 Mile Junior closure scheduled for the end of this school year was made. Around the same time, she received a letter from the provin-cial government informing her she could apply for old age pen-sion, although she didn’t feel she was that old.

“So I decided to end where I started, where I have so many wonderful memories. I’ve taught thousands of kids and I think I made a difference.”

Tom Turner, newly gradu-ated from University of Victoria in 1980, headed straight for 100 Mile House when a job came up teaching physical education and record keeping at 100 Mile Junior.

He had done many hunting and fishing trips in the area previously with his father and knew it was where he wanted to be.

Turner says he was basically thrown into the job and left to figure it out, but he was fine with it. He’d always wanted to be a teacher.

That same year, he met his future wife, Deb, who also began teaching at the school that same

year. Two years later, they were married.

Throughout his career, Turner was responsible for developing and teaching many new courses, which offered hands-on train-ing and unique opportunities for youth.

His first was the Resource Management 9 program in 1981, which included an opportunity for students to paddle the Bowron Lakes chain. He made the trip 26 times with the classes.

“It was just a lot of fun to get them out of school and see a dif-ferent side of them. They learned a lot about themselves and worked hard.”

He later wrote and developed the Logging and Forestry 11 and 12 program at PSO, with less academically inclined students in mind. The program purchased logging equipment and Ainsworth Lumber Company came on board to help them form a logging operation and hired them on as one of their contractors. Upon graduation, most of the students were immediately scooped up by industry.

Turner and his program were awarded the Reader’s Digest Leadership in Education Award in 1994.

He also developed and taught the Sports and Recreation program and Aviation and Technology at PSO, where he was appointed vice-principal in 1995.

What he enjoyed most was taking his greatest interests, and exploring them with his students and seeing their interest grow.

Retiring teachers bid fond farewell Significant contributions made throughout their careers

“I was able to relate to kids in a way that allowed me to be effec-tive.”

Turner was appoint-ed principal at 100 Mile Junior in 2000, and then in 2004, took a year off for cancer treatments. Back to work, he spent one year as principal of the GROW Centre, then was made principal at Mile 108 Elementary.

The new environ-ment gave him a new appreciation for basic learning.

“How do you teach kids the basics of read-ing and writing? I’d never had to think about it before. It really opened my eyes to good, concrete meth-ods of teaching.”

Turner says he’ll miss working with the students and watching them grow up.

“I think I’ve had a good effect on kids through things not tra-ditional and not in the classroom.”

The next chapter in his life will see him enjoying his passion of flying his Cessna 182. Last year, he acquired his commercial pilot licence and plans to work in the field, doing forest fire patrols and environmental checks for caribou and wolves.

“I’ve been flying for 20 years and I’m not the kind of person to just retire. I’ll always make sure I have some-

thing to get up for.”Teacher Karen

Johnson says good-bye to PSO after teaching there for the past 12 years.

Johnson had been wondering earlier if she had the energy to put in another year, but the planned closure of 100 Mile Junior and the new configuration con-vinced her that now was the time.

“It felt right. It makes room for other people and just makes sense.”

Her career began in Fraser Lake, where she’d gone to tree plant and make money after university graduation.

“When people there found out I had a degree and played vol-leyball as a national sport, they wanted me to stay.”

She expected to stay for two years, but it turned into six.

The next stop was 100 Mile House and PSO where she felt set-tled and found the staff to be like family.

Johnson taught Phys. Ed., special education, learning assistance and she also coached sports

for the most part. When the leadership program was devel-oped, it became her passion.

“I felt I could make the biggest impact through the program and I’m grateful admin-istration valued it as much as they did. I’ve seen so many leader-ship programs crumble because there was no support from adminis-tration.”

What she’s enjoyed most about teaching is the connection with youth and their energy. She’s always loved teaching and says she’ll miss it.

“When you’re teach-ing, you feel you really have the possibility of doing something good rather than just what’s on your own personal agenda.”

She won’t be allow-ing grass to grow under her feet as her to-do list is long. Living on her hobby farm with huge gardens is time-consuming and she also likes to cook everything from scratch.

She and husband, Tom, are outdoors peo-

ple and she’s looking forward to doing some paddling in remote areas and to satisfy her travel bug. High on the list is a trip to Australia to visit her daughter, Meagan.

An international trip with a humanitarian cause is also a strong pos-sibility, she says.

“I won’t be sad the last day of school. I’ll be busy.”

“My wife and I just bought a wonderful RV. What do we need to do to look after it?”

Well, think how you maintain your house. You check the roof, clean the gutters and inspect the siding. You change your furnace filter, repair dripping taps and maintain your appliances, for example. Now imagine you install a hitch to your house and fly down the road with it at 100km/hr for a few days or weeks. If you think this would make maintenance even more crucial, you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. To protect your RV investment, and prepare for a trouble-free RVing experience, you do need to provide your RV with annual inspection and maintenance of all its components, including:

• Roof • Gutter mouldings • Siding/windows/vents • Plumbing/fittings • Gas system/appliances

• Brakes/axles/undercarriage Routine maintenance is essential to keeping your RV in peak condition. At Cariboo RV we can always repair your RV, but we would rather help you maintain your unit so that you don’t run into emergencies while you are actually RVing. We want to be your problem preventers, not just your problems solvers. With over 75 combined Service Shop years of experience, earned in the Lower Mainland and in the Cariboo, our staff members have the knowledge, skills and factory training to give you good honest advice and service. Phone us today to book your regular RV inspection and maintenance, BEFORE you head back out on the road.

The Western and wildlife art of Diane Farrell-Adams will be on display at Parkside Art Gallery until July 20.

“Painting the Cariboo” is a collection of the Bridge Lake rancher’s visions, memo-ries and experiences put to canvas. Anyone with an appreciation for cowboy life and nature will want to see this show.

More than 25 detailed paintings and pastel draw-ings make up the display, which fills the main gallery and spills out into the hall-way.

Farrell-Adams has lived in Bridge Lake for 35 years, and along with her husband, Lorne Adams, they own and operate Banning Creek Ranch. The couple runs more than 250 head of cattle and much of Farrell-Adams’

inspiration comes from her daily life.

Horses are her great-est love and were the first objects she truly concentrat-ed on drawing as a child. She has them to near perfection now and they show up regu-

larly in her art.“All I ever wanted to do

is paint and draw,” she says, adding pastel is her favourite medium, as it allows her to add a high degree of defini-tion to her drawings.

Colouring books were

among her childhood play-things, and the centre of her early artistic endeavours, but she thought the simple pic-tures were foolish-looking.

“I took the colouring books and turned them over and made my own drawings.”

Pastel is the medium used for a drawing of an angry grizzly bear, which is among her show pieces. The fright-ening image comes from her experience one summer as a cook for a hunting and guid-ing outfit near Nazko.

On her first day, she was left alone at a remote cabin while the others hunted. She went to the creek to scoop water into buckets, and on her way back to the cabin, she heard a rustling and footsteps in the bushes that sounded like she was being followed.

To her horror, it was a huge grizzly, so she calmly made her way to the cabin and bolted the flimsy door, hid-ing under the table while the bear made itself comfortable outside by the cabin steps for the next several hours. At the end of the day when the oth-ers returned, she handed in her resignation.

Farrell-Adams does most of her painting and drawing during the winter months when ranch work is at its quietest. She works in her log cabin studio on the secluded ranch, where in summer, art collectors from all over the world still man-age to find her.

A good portion of her work has found homes in Germany and Australia and she says it’s very satisfying to know people like her paint-ings enough to have them in their homes.

Her work has also caught the eye of the North American Academy of Western Artists, which inducted her in 1999.

Farrell-Adams’ show will be at Parkside until July 20. Gallery hours are Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. The gallery is located at 401 Cedar Ave.

Stoelwinder wins fishing derby

The rain held off for this years Father’s Day Fishing Derby on Lac la Hache on June 15-16.

The event was put on by the Lac la Hache Fathers Day Fishing Derby Society, and once again, it was hosted by Kokanee Bay Resort.

The derby was well attended by young and old, and many fami-lies make the event an annual weekend get-away.

For the second consecutive year, Ed Stoelwinder from 150 Mile House reeled in the largest fish with his 22-pound char. He took home $500 for his efforts.

The second larg-est fish, weighing in at 18.2 lbs.’ was caught by Richard Sellars Jr. of Williams Lake, and he pocketed $300.

The largest rainbow trout, weighing in at 2 lbs., was caught by

Clayton Lehto of Lac la Hache, and he won $100.

The largest white fish, weighing in at 1.6 lbs., was caught by Lac la Hache resident Don Hales who picked up $100.

Society member and resort owner, Rose Stenberg said the event went very well, the weather was great, and there were 350 tickets sold.

“The fishing was

great and this annual family event will con-tinue.”

As for the proceeds distribution, Stenberg says the recipients will be finalized in September.

Non-profit groups have until the end of August to make requests for funds from this event.

Local groups will need to write a letter of request to the society, stating the name of the

group and what they want to use the funds for.

To get more infor-mation, contact Rose Stenberg at 250-396-7345.

STAMPEDE PRELUDE

WOMEN’S HOCKEY SigN UP

CARRiAgE DRiViNg

bytesFAST


Local rookie boxer Brandon Balbirnie made his fight debut and notched his first win at Kelowna’s Night of Action at Sunplex Sports Arena, June 22.

After a decisive advance in the first round, the 13-year-old member of the Zeus Fight Science club in 100 Mile House scored a technical knockout midway through his sec-ond round against Madkatz Boxing Club’s Vincenzo “The Hyena” Lawrence-Bertucci.

Balbirnie says he was punch-shy in the opening round and poured on a flurry of hits to keep his opponent at bay. Lawrence-Bertucci mounted a short-lived comeback, just to have Balbirnie answer with increased intensity.

“I didn’t let him escape,” he says.Balbirnie dominated from the

beginning in round 2, throwing a relentless flurry of hard combinations and uppercuts, which Lawrence-Bertucci was unable to withstand. The referee stopped the bout and called the technical knockout.

“I wasn’t sure why they stopped it and called me over,” says Balbirnie. “I didn’t know what to expect.”

Noting he was overjoyed with the win and experiencing a fight, Balbirnie says his respect for the sport has grown even more.

Boxing coach Kelly Ricketts says he’s extremely proud of Balbirnie’s commitment, work ethic and per-formance.

“Brandon showed exceptional poise and calm before the fight, even having a short nap 20 min-utes before the bout. It’s something only seasoned fighters may be able to do.”

Balbirnie says prior to dozing off, he’d been nervous and the adren-

aline was running, making him over-excited, and adds he was grate-ful to his coach for calming him down.

The young boxer only took up the sport in early October 2012 as a favour to a friend who wanted Balbirnie to join him for workouts.

“I liked it right away,” says the multi-talented athlete who also excels in hockey and long-distance running.

He placed fifth in the ban-tam boys division at the 2012 BC

Cross-Country Running Provincial Championships, and first last year in the Williams Lake KidSport Classic Relay, Walk and Half Marathon 10-kilometre men’s 18 years and under race.

On the ice, he played bantam house hockey last season with 100 Mile & District Minor Hockey Association.

He says boxing has helped him keep in top shape for his other sports and interests.

“There’s nothing wrong with a

good, hard workout. Boxing has really helped me with conditioning and strength, and it builds charac-ter.”

He hadn’t considered fighting in a match until Ricketts asked if he might like to give it a try some time, which piqued his interest

Balbirnie says he’ll be up for another fight when one comes along.

Ricketts notes it may be as early at July 19 in Vancouver, at Clash of the Cascades at the Cascades Casino in Langley.

Balbirnie wins with TKO

Zeus Fight Science boxer Brandon Balbirnie fought and won his first match at Kelowna’s Night of Action, June 22.


By Tom BachynskiThe puck drops in less than three

months for the 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club, as it enters its first year in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL).

Officially the season begins on Sept. 13 in Golden with a tilt against the Rockets. That will be followed by a game against the Columbia Valley Rockies on Sept. 14 to round out week 1.

The following weekend sees a home-and-home series against the Chase Heat. On Friday night, the tilt

is in Chase. Then on Saturday night, the Wranglers have their home opener in front of a loud and sup-portive crowd.

The entire schedule will be avail-able in about three weeks, or when the KIJHL ratifies all the data sup-plied by team representatives last weekend.

Knowing when it all begins is making a sense of urgency in the Wranglers office.

The ice at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre starts going in right after the August long weekend and the Wranglers Main Camp starts on

Aug. 18.During the three-day camp, the

coaching staff will be making some very important decisions about which players are going to be card-ed and skating into the exhibition games wearing a Wranglers jersey.

Things like rink board and in ice advertising has to be ready to go before the ice goes in, so delaying the decision is not the best course of action. Wranglers representatives will be around to your business, so you will be able to meet these dates. (The Wranglers are in charge of all advertising inside the arena.)

Billet families neededThe other big component to a suc-

cessful hockey club is having a solid supply of billet families.

Over the coming weeks, the Wranglers will need to secure up to 20 billet beds for the hockey play-ers coming to town. There are a lot of misconceptions about what is involved, so to clarify:

• Players will have their own vehi-cle, so there is no driving them to the rink or picking them up after a road trip.

Wranglers gear up for inaugural season

Billeting can be a very rewarding activity. Many lifelong friend-ships are made between the hockey players and the billet families.

There are many sto-ries about the bond that is made when accept-ing one of these young men into your home. One that really defines the thoughts of a billet house came from Mavis Cann who is the pub-lisher of the Revelstoke Times Review.

Mavis made it very clear she was reluctant

to have billets in her house. She had raised her boys and was not sure she wanted to have teenagers back in the house. She finally agreed.

That was 2002 and this is what Mavis has to say:

“I love to billet because you develop such amazing relation-ships with the boys. It is so different than having your own kids at home because they appreciate you opening your home up to them.

“I set my house rules and then left the dis-

cipline up to the team and the coaches. I have had 18 boys go through my house and I have a spot in my heart for each of them. Some I’m a little closer to than others, but they are all very special individuals.

“You see the real high times with the wins and real low times with the losses.

“Several of them refer to me as Ma because they can only have one mom. On Mother’s Day and on my birth-day when I get those extra 12 to 18 calls and wishes, it makes my

heart swell.“I’ve seen them

laugh and I’ve seen them cry and I’m usu-ally doing the same with them.”

Billet packages can be picked up at the Canlan office or at reception at

Central GM. Call us at 250-395-4344 for more information or e-mail us at info@100mile wranglers.com.

Tough Mudder 2013 at Whistler Olympic Park on June 22 put at least one nine-person team from the South Cariboo through its gruelling paces.

The 18-kilometre obstacle course, meant to test participants’ physical and mental strength while they work as a team, threw challenges like a dumpster full of ice and water to swim through, mud-filled trenches to navigate and electrified wire to crawl under.

Shannon Pennicott was a member of the local Focused Fitness team, and for her, it was a great experience.

“We had fun throughout the whole way with mud fights and lots of support and laughter. Some things were challenging, but we had trained hard and a lot was mind over matter.”

This was the second Tough Mudder in the same year for Kathleen Hartard who also did the Las Vegas event in April.

“Whistler was a lot more fun because there was way more mud,” she says.

The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) annual Ride don’t Hide bike ride was a good success at the 108 Heritage Site on June 23.

“We had 69 riders, so we were thrilled with that,” says organizer Valinda Boyd. “We just had a fabulous day and the weather was abso-lutely perfect.”

While it is not a race, plenty of spectators showed up to cheer on the teams, she notes, and many visitors sightseeing at the 108 Heritage Site wandered over to see what the crowd was all about.

Three players from the 100 Mile House Wranglers championed the event and headed up the 10-kilometre ride, which she notes brought some celebrity status to the event.

“They were great ambassadors for

their team.”The 20-km ride, which

Boyd explains needs leadership to stay on course, was led by Steve Law and Tish Emery.

Several teams masquerading in atten-tion-grabbing attire included Del’s Angels, mimicking the Hell’s Angels, and Cops and

Robbers, who she notes were current and for-mer members of the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment.

At the end of the

day, Boyd says Cops and Robbers won the Golden Spoke award for having the most cre-ative costumes.

The door prize of a child’s bicycle was won by Lauren Bock who, Boyd adds, generous-ly donated it back to CMHA to provide to another family’s child who needs it.

The total funds raised from the entry fees, donations, pledg-es, concession and the province will likely be tallied within a couple of weeks, Boyd explains.

South Cariboo Search and Rescue was on site to offer support, she notes, and other indi-viduals helped out wherever needed, such as cooking, registration and handing out water bottles to riders.

“We are so thankful; we probably had close to 30 volunteers out there. It is overwhelming the support you get in this community when you put the call out.”

CMHA bike ride a tour de force

Hockey players Tristan Sailor, left, Cole Zimmerman and Riley Woodland, who were recently signed by the 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club, led riders on the 10-kilometre CMHA Ride Don’t Hide fundraiser event at the 108 Heritage Site, June 23. This is the kind of community presence and commitment the Wranglers will bring to 100 Mile House.


The BC Soccer Provincial B Boys Cup in Prince George will provide a unique opportunity for a cou-ple of youth soccer refs from the South Cariboo.

Austin Appleby, 14, and Nevin Boyd, 18, are referees for the 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association.

They have been invit-ed to join the team of referees that will offi-

ciate at the July 4-7 championships, offi-cially named the Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial Cup.

They will work in the capacity of refs or assistant refs and each is expected to get at least one game per day.

Appleby is in his fourth year as a ref and he’s looking forward to working in an envi-ronment of such high calibre.

“It’s a very big step for me and I’m pretty excited. The highest I’ve

done is a little bit for the Cariboo Youth Soccer League. I’ve gone past the learning curve here, so they (the association) wants me to go and

learn more up there.”He expects to pick

up valuable pointers and get feedback from some top BC Soccer refs who will be officiating

the event. Both Appleby and

Boyd are mentors for the younger refs in the local soccer association.

So says Nadaya McNeil, a member of the Hun City Hunnies Non Profit Community Improvement Society, which is hosting the event.

She says community support has been strong and ticket sales are going well.

“I think people are really excited we’re bringing an event like this to our town. As far as I know, there hasn’t been anything like this here before.”

She notes some peo-

ple have paid for tickets and donated them back to the society, just to

give their support. Profits from the

show will be donated

to local organizations, such as 100 Mile House Waterpark Society, Canadian Mental Health Association, as well as future local projects, events and fundraisers.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and local DJ Maestro Kit will open the show at 7 p.m. with rock ‘n roll tunes before BC/DC takes the stage at 8 p.m. for an unfor-gettable evening of music and artistry.

Tickets are $25 each, or $20 with the dona-tion of non-perishable food for the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society. They can be purchased in advance at Andre’s Electronic Experts 100 Mile House, Work n Play, TW Tanning, and Sight n’ Sound in Williams Lake.

Guests must be 19 years of age or older, as there will be bar service at the event. A Safe Ride Home service will also be available.

“We’re encouraging people to have a good time, but stay safe,” says McNeil.In partnership with

BC Hydro and FortisBC, the provincial govern-ment is extending the popular LiveSmart BC: Efficiency Incentive Program, which gives homeowners up to $3,500 in rebates for energy saving improve-ments to their homes.

Since 2008, the LiveSmart BC Program has helped more than 100,000 homeowners in communities through-out British Columbia improve the energy effi-ciency of their home in ways, such as increased

insulation and/or draft proofing.

The program is extended until March 31, 2014 and BC Hydro and FortisBC will fund the rebates for their cus-tomers. The provincial government will contin-ue to reduce the cost of the initial home energy assessment.

The home energy efficiency incentives include:

• Up to $1,200 for exterior wall insulation;

• Up to $1,000 for basement insulation;

• Up to $600 to install

attic insulation; and • Up to $400 for air

sealing (such as weather stripping around doors) and draft proofing.

To access the rebates, homeowners must hire a certified energy advisor to conduct an energy efficiency assessment before and after making any eligi-ble improvements. The energy advisor provides a customized report showing the home’s energy efficiency (EnerGuide) rating and upgrade options. This energy assessment must be completed by Dec. 31, 2013.

Homeowners can then choose what upgrades they make from the assessment. They have until March 31, 2014 to make any

The deadline for businesses to order an Idle Free 100 Mile sign in support of the aware-ness campaign has been extended to July 15.

The community cam-paign is a joint venture between the District of 100 Mile House and the South Cariboo Sustainability Society.

It is intended to raise awareness about the environmental and financial impacts of idling during the summer months. The campaign running between May 1-Sept. 1, 2013.

Launched on May 6, when three signs indicating IDLE FREE ZONE were posted at Safeway in the Cariboo Mall, the District then installed more signs at several other locations around town through-out the month of May.

Now, the District is preparing to purchase more Idle Free 100 Mile signs, and has moved

the date to July 15 for

folks to order those to allow more widespread participation.

The cost is between $25 and $35 each, based on the quantity ordered, and businesses are responsible for their own installation.

The District recently sent a letter to all South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce members

asking for their consid-eration of purchasing and installing signs. These could be posted in either singles or mul-tiples, depending on the location and parking.

The Idle Free 100 Mile IDLE FREE ZONE signs can be seen at several local busi-nesses and at the South Cariboo Visitor Centre,

Centennial Park, Martin Exeter Hall and the District of 100 Mile House office.

For more infor-mation or to order a sign, contact Joanne Doddridge at 250-395-2434 or [email protected].

The Third Annual Horses and Heroes Horse Sale is rapidly approach-ing and organizers are excited about this year’s event at the 108 Stables on Kitwanga Drive on July 6.

Horses are listed on the web-site, demonstrations are confirmed, vendors are signing up, and final preparations are underway for the event.

There will be a 50/50 draw, raffles, silent auction, pony rides, children’s activities, and a concession will be on site all day, offering breakfast and lunch.

Gates open at 8 a.m. for vendors (including horse sellers) and the grounds are open to the public at 9:30 a.m.

The sale begins at 1 p.m., with a parade of all horses for sale.

If people want more time to show-case their horse individually they can ask for extra time and organizers will set up the arena for them.

This is not an auction, and horses are represented by their owners.

Unlike an auction, it’s an opportu-nity for folks to have a careful look at a prospective horse, think their deci-sion through carefully, and not feel pressured to buy.

Vendors can still rent a table for $15 – any Western-themed service or product is welcome. The cost to regis-ter a horse for the sale is $25, with all funds going to the SPCA.

No dogs are allowed.For more information go to www.

horsesandheroes2013.com, or con-tact Emmy Lou at 250-791-5446 or Jennifer at 250-791-6509.

ASK AN EXPERT: How do I get rid of mildew on my exterior paint?

John Stauffer, technical director of the Paint Quality Institute in Spring House, Pennsylvania, says you should make sure you’re dealing with mildew and not just dirt: Place a few drops of bleach on a suspected stain, wait a few minutes and then rinse. If the treated area loses its color, it’s mildew (bleach does not affect dirt).

“Mildew can be eliminated by treating the surface with a mixture of one part bleach to three parts water,” Stauffer says. “Leave the mixture on the surface for about 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.” As always, wear adequate hand and eye protection.

While it’s impossible to keep your walls free of mildew, there are things that you can do to prevent it from returning. When repainting, clean the surface and paint when it’s completely dry. Don’t paint on a windy day if nearby surfaces are mildewed, because the spores can blow over and infect the fresh paint. Many high-quality paints on the market contain a mildewcide, but you can also buy an additive to help paint resist mildew. Also, use latex paint, which resists mildew better than oil-based paint because it contains fewer nutrients for the mildew to feed upon.

Gloss level also plays a role in mildew growth. Glossier paints are less porous, so dirt and mold spores have less to grab hold of. And because darker colors dry faster than lighter colors after it rains, they are less receptive to mildew.
