Voters in the Cariboo-Chilcotin con-stituency made their choice clear in the May 14 provincial election, as B.C. Liberal MLA Donna Barnett held on to her seat with a clear victory.
Barnett took 56.44 per cent of the votes (6,952) over NDP candidate Charlie Wyse’s 34.53 per cent (4,253), trailed by Green Party of BC’s Dustin Price at 5.33 per cent (657) and Independent candidate Gary Young with 3.69 per cent (455).
With the B.C. Liberals winning the election for another majority government, Barnett says she is looking forward to a positive government where “no is not acceptable.”
“We, as a province, have tried to work together to move forward to create the jobs that are needed, and particularly in the Cariboo-Chilcotin.
“One of the most important parts of environment is people. We talk about child poverty – it’s not child poverty, it’s parent poverty, and the only way we’re going to get out of this is with jobs.” She adds it is also about taking care of our neighbours – not just ourselves.
“I’d like to thank all the voters for the mandate they have given me, and thanks to all the volunteers who worked hard on my campaign.”
The local MLA successfully widened the margin seen in 2009 when Barnett and Wyse were neck-and-neck during the election, which she won only after a recount and by less than one percentage point.
Since then, Barnett’s reputation for a loud and clear voice in legislature has been

At 11:45 a.m. on May 10, there was a lot of horn honking going on in the Central GM parking lot in 100 Mile House.
Folks strolled over to the windows to see what was going on just as a van from The Hills Health Ranch pulled up to the front door. Hills chef Ed Burney imme-diately started ringing a loud dinner bell, while Hills general manager of business development Len Doucette started carting big bins into the showroom.
After setting up a large table, Doucette announced this was The Hills first Flash Lunch and invited staff and everyone in the build-
ing to enjoy the lasagne, Caesar salad and garlic toast luncheon.
Doucette says The Hills wanted to come up with something that has never been done, and after a bit of brain-storming, they came up with the idea of having a Flash Lunch.
“We thought it would be a great, fun idea and it was a way for us to thank our community for their support and patronage.”
It also helps promote our business and the business we hold the event at, he explains.
“I am sure the staff and customers at Central GM went home and told their spouses and friends what hap-pened.”
Doucette says The Hills will be doing
Flash Lunches periodi-cally over the next few months.
They will pick a busi-ness and supply them and their customers lunch at no charge.
First, they will con-tact the business owner or manager and let them know the date and time, so they can be a bit prepared, he explains.
“We will ask the busi-ness manager not to tell anyone.”
Then the fun begins, he says
“We will start to post hints on our Facebook
page – www.facebook.com/HillsHealthSpa – hinting where we might be and at what time.”
On the day of the lunch, Doucette says they will announce the date and time on their Facebook page, but not the place.
That day, they will drive around town ringing the dinner bell and eventually pull into a business and supply lunch.
Folks are encour-aged to follow The Hills Facebook page to learn when the next Flash Lunch will occur.

The Fourth Annual Hans Saenger Memorial Shoot at the Forest Grove Rod and Gun Club’s Canim Lake Shooting Range on May 5 attracted 16 com-petitors, including two teenagers learning the sport.
Ted Swift took top honours and the perpet-ual trophy for first place in the trapshooting event. Club president Gerhard Loeffeler says a tie between Swift and himself, after each suc-cessfully hit targets in 46 out of 50 shots, ended in a “sudden-death shootout” to determine the winner.
Loeffeler adds his second place score was one shot behind, after he missed the next shot but Swift hit the clay pigeon.
He notes the compe-tition was a very close with most scores very close together.
“It was a very com-petent field of shooters who scored just one to two points apart from each other, so it was a very close shoot. Anybody could have won this one.”
While no other placings are formally recognized in the trap-shooting competition, the next scores ran at 44, 42, 41 and so on, Loeffeler explains.
About 40-45 people turned out to either watch or compete in the event, he adds.
“The weather was fantastic, so people were just enjoying watching the competition, and we had a barbecue going, so it was a nice day.”
The club has been going for more than 40 years, and Loeffeler says it recently improved the gun range by adding a 200-yard shooting range to its current 50-yard and 100-yard ranges.
All kinds of tar-get shooters might be interested in the range, Loeffeler says, adding he encourages anyone wishing more information on mem-berships to call him at 250-397-2826.
The next club activity
is its annual Father’s Day weekend fishing derby at Howard Lake hap-pening on June 15, he adds. There is no need to register and folks of any age are welcome to participate by just show-ing up on at 9 a.m. with their own boats, gear and fishing rods.

The town will be rol-licking this Victoria Day weekend (May 18-21) when two popu-lar rodeos roll out the livestock for a barrel of fun.
Folks are in store for a wild ride at the Outriders Arena when the South Cariboo BCRA Rodeo comes to town May 19-20.
Some of the top amateur and semi-pro competitors in British Columbia will be rid-ing, roping and bucking to try to earn top prize money.
These key com-petitors featured will include Steve Hohmann of Quesnel, who will be aiming for top dollars in bull riding, bareback and bronc rid-ing.
Langley’s Charlie Atrill and South Cariboo team roper Ty Lytton are also surely hoping to bring home some money if all goes well for these cowboys.
Diamond D Bulls and C Plus Rodeo Stock are bringing some of their best animals for the rough stock competi-tions, which are also certain to put on an action-filled show for the crowds.
The rodeo action begins at noon both days, each of them kicked off in a grand entry by the Wild West Riders Drill Team.
Cowboy Church will once again take place in the grandstands on Sunday (May 19) at 10:30 a.m., with Pastor Blair Bates of Cowboy Valley Church as the guest speaker this year.
Rodeo admission is $10 for adults, $5 for seniors and students and free for children
under six.Be sure to wear pink
on May 19 in support of the BCRA Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign, which will see $1 from every gate admission donated to the fight against breast cancer.
A concession stand and a beverage garden will be open both days.
Little BritchesThere will be plenty of
wild-and-wooly action at the 47th Annual Little Britches Rodeo on Saturday (May 18), which features young cowboys and cowgirls up to age 14.
100 Mile & District Outriders Club is host-ing the event, which will include steer riding, barrel racing and chute dogging, as well as two afternoon rounds of the crowd favourite, mut-ton bustin’, a greased pig contest with a $50 prize, and plenty of other rodeo action.
The cost to enter mut-ton bustin’ is $5 and it’s open to children under
the age of six who weigh less than 50 pounds (22 kilograms).
Gates open at 8 a.m. with junior riders get-ting underway at 9 a.m., and then the senior events follow the lunch break in the afternoon, for a full day of fun and entertainment.
There will be foot races across the arena for children and adults with great prizes for the winners, and a free tour behind the scenes to demonstrate bull and bucking horse raising and handling.
Admission to the Little Britches Rodeo is $10 for adults, $5 for seniors and students, and children six and under get in free.
Admission includes access to the Ranch and Country Show, which runs May 18-20 and features ranch, farm and forestry equip-ment as well as vendor booths offering every-thing from horse tack to jewelry.
The Outriders Arena is located on Airport Road behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre.

Williams Lake Peel Out slated for this weekend
Ken AlexanderFree Press
Justin Calof, execu-tive director of the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium, is extending an invitation to all South Cariboo mountain bike enthu-siasts to attend the Fourth Annual Peel Out in Williams Lake on the May 18-20 week-end.
He says riders will be arriving from all of the British Columbia to take on the Fox Mountain Downhill.
With a new course for 2013, the competition is
wide open, he adds. “There are a lot of
riders from 100 Mile House area already reg-istered, but we would like to see more come up for the Peel Out.”
There are three dif-ferent events – the Fox Mountain Downhill, the Westside Super Downhill and the grand opening of the Snakes
and Ladders trail on May 20.
Calof says there is a live concert sched-uled for May 19, but only folks 19 years and older will be allowed to attend.
He adds there will be free shuttles to all events all weekend long.
Riders can register at www.ridethecaribo.ca.
Melody Watkins enjoyed her trips down the slip-and-slide so much she climbed back up the hill for numerous turns at the 100 Mile House Elementary School’s Spring Family Fair on May 11. The event raised approxi-mately $3,400 for school functions.

Are you thinking of Selling or Buying?
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, life might get stressful really soon unless you curb your spending. Although you may feel like you’re made of money right now, eventually the well will dry up.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Making changes is seldom easy, but change is necessary this week, Taurus. You may need to analyze which areas of your life can use the most work.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, kick back and have some fun in the next few days. Otherwise, you may waste an opportunity to recharge your batteries. Work responsibilities will not wait for long.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, expect some rejuvenated ambition and energy. Spurred on by this newfound energy, you can successfully tackle many of the things on your to-do list.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, unless you can focus you will just be puttering around without a goal. Put your mind on one thing and stick with this line of thinking for a few days.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, once you set your mind to some-thing, it can be dif� cult to alter your opin-ions or perceptions. You may need to be a bit more � exible with a loved one this week.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, if you want someone to take you seriously you have to make up your mind. Don’t � ip-� op on your ideals this week or you may come across as a pushover.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, just when you think you have reached a dead end, a new path miracu-lously opens up. Don’t miss your opportu-nity because time is � eeting.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21If practice makes perfect, then you have just about reached perfection, Sagittarius. You have been over and over something from every angle. It is now or never.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, there are many things you will not be able to change about this week, so why focus on the negativity? Instead, work around any issues and get the job done anyway.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18You often seem immune to the serious-ness of certain situations, Aquarius. This week is no different. Try to recognize the gravity of a certain situation and put your best foot forward.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Don’t think that your efforts have gone unnoticed, Pisces. A few key people have been keeping track of your accomplish-ments.

Conservation is one of the keys to adopting an eco-friendly lifestyle. Though some might feel the transition to such a lifestyle might be diffi cult, it’s often far simpler than it may seem. Conserving water, for instance, can be done in a number of ways.
One such way concerns how you treat your landscape. Planting the right way can save a substantial amount of water, and save you money. The following are a few ways to plant right that won’t require a complete overhaul of your landscape.• Research before
you plant anything. Decorating your landscape with the prettiest plant is not always the most practical or eco-friendly decision. Choose drought-resistant plants that will thrive in your local climate. Certain grasses, for instance,

are best suited for certain climates. When planting, make use of shaded areas around your property so plants won’t need more water to make it through the warmer months of the year.• Maintain a healthy soil. Healthy soil allows water to penetrate effectively, promoting strong roots and ensuring plants get all they need to thrive. Aerate your lawn, including areas around trees, once a year and cultivate the soil before planting. Add compost or fertilize the soil, which increases moisture retention and reduces the need to water.• Be timely when planting. Spring or fall is typically the ideal time to plant. Planting
in the summer when temperatures are generally at their warmest makes it more diffi cult for plants to establish themselves without extra watering.• Plant shade trees. Shade trees are trees that, when full grown, shade the yard and plants from the sun. This lowers the air and soil temperatures and reduces moisture loss.• Don’t procrastinate with regard to lawn care. It’s easy to put off lawn maintenance, particularly when temperatures can be especially hot. However, it won’t take long for a blazing sun to damage your lawn. A well-maintained lawn won’t need as much water to stay healthy.

MLA retains seat as part of B.C. Liberal majoritybeen attested to by Premier Christy Clark and various provincial ministers, particularly for issues affecting her riding.
“My door is always open.”Wyse says he congratulates
Barnett on her victory, recognizes Price and Young for a willingness to serve the people, and thanks voters for going out to the polls.
“I thank my team, and I’d like to
recognize and acknowl-edge all the campaign workers [who] were involved in the election process for all the can-didates.”
He won’t confirm his future candidacy, but explains after about 40 years in politics, his rule is “never say no.”
“The first thing [my wife] Sheila and I are going to do is take a holi-
day ... and then we’ll look at how things are further down the road.”
Young says the “unfortunate” results fall to an old quote that “bad government is elected by those good people who do not vote.”
“I’m very, very disappointed because again in British Columbia politics we have proven beyond a
doubt that lies, smears, fear and corporate donations and favours have again given us this govern-ment.”
The thousands of voters in the riding who didn’t vote for him don’t want change, the Independent claims.
“Those are the people who don’t read, don’t listen and are unin-formed.”
Price says he was pleased he reached his goal to raise awareness
and “get more Green votes,” and he’ll run again in four years if that opportunity exists.
“I will remain a Green party supporter; it’s where my beliefs are.”
The 28-year-old adds he hopes to have led by example in inspiring some younger voters to get more involved.
“I wish Donna [Barnett] luck, and I want to thank all the other candidates for making me feel wel-come.”
From 1 I will remain a Green party supporter; it’s where my beliefs are.”

Gardening is a rewarding hobby that many use to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Though gardening can be both relaxing and rewarding, the more time and effort a person devotes to his or her garden the more likely it is to be successful.Gardening can be a little daunting for the inexperienced, but it need not be so intimidating, especially for those beginners who adhere to the following tips aimed at helping novice gardeners start their gardens off on the right foot.• Where you live will determine what you should plant. While you can plant almost anything you want, Agriculture and Agri-
Food Canada have determined specifi c plant hardiness zones that indicate which plants are most likely to thrive in given locations. Maps of these zones can be found at www.agr.gc.ca. By adhering to the maps, gardeners can signifi cantly increase their chances of growing successful gardens. If still in doubt, consult a local gardening centre or seek advice from a professional landscaper.• When choosing a location, consider how much sunlight a location gets on a daily basis and its proximity to a water supply. If you’re planting fl owers to accent walkways, then consider erecting a barrier around the fl ower bed to
safeguard the fl owers from foot traffi c.• Preparing the soil a few weeks before you start planting can help the plants thrive down the road. Add some organic material, such as compost or fertilizer, to the soil roughly three weeks before planting. This helps the soil retain water and nutrients, which will help your garden thrive.• When you plant is sometimes as important as what you
~ SET ~ GROW!Gardening tips for beginners
plant. Some climates allow for year-round planting, but many do not. When buying seeds, the packaging might suggest what time of year to plant them. In addition, keep in mind that many seedlings need signifi cant light throughout the day in order to grow, so choose a time of year with ample daylight.• Mulch can be as aesthetically appealing as it is effective. Mulch retains soil, helping
roots to grow stronger, while deterring bugs and preventing weed growth. Many gardeners fi nd mulch adds visual appeal and does so in a very inexpensive way.• Clean your tools before putting them away at the end of each gardening session, as soil left on your garden tools can carry potentially harmful microbes that might kill your plants. Gardening can be a labor-intensive yet gratifying hobby. By sticking to a few simple rules, beginners can develop a thriving garden to reward all of that hard work.

Men and women over the age of 50 are at risk for osteoporosis, a disease marked by reduced bone strength leading to an increased risk of fractured or broken bones.
Osteoporosis is the major underlying cause of fractures in postmenopausal women and in the elderly. Often, a fracture of the hip, spine, or wrist is the first sign.
British Columbia’s physiothera-pists want to share their Physio-4 for osteoporosis – four tips on how
to treat osteoporosis, to keep British Columbians moving for life.
Know fracture riskWomen and men over age 50
should be assessed for risk factors for osteoporosis and fracture to identify if they are at high risk. Osteoporosis occurs most com-monly in postmenopausal women; however, prevention of this condi-tion should begin in one’s twenties.
Men and women should per-
form resistance type exercises throughout their lifetime to help reduce the decline in bone density. Your physiotherapist will estab-lish a strengthening program with resistance exercises to suit your risk factor and help you to build stronger bones.
Weight-bearing exerciseIf you are diagnosed with low
bone density or with osteoporo-sis, adopting a weight bearing and
strength training exercise program will improve your bone health. It has been shown that weight-bear-ing exercise also improves muscle strength and balance and helps improve physical function and reduce pain.
Improve balanceFolks can prevent falls and frac-
tures by following a therapeutic exercise program designed to improve balance and co-ordina-
tion. This will also help to build bone density. Your physiotherapist can create an individualized exer-cise program for you.
Avoid bending, twistingLifting or carrying loads that are
disproportionate can be dangerous for those with low bone density. Your physiotherapist can provide guidance on specific movements to avoid or how to move safely. To learn more, visit movingforlife.ca.

It’s important to know that activities like these can result in contact with bats, the primary carrier of the rabies virus in British Columbia.
Rabies is a very seri-ous disease that affects the nervous system. If not treated in time, rabies is almost always fatal.
Last year, 39 people in the region were treated for potential exposure to rabies. Treatment, involving a two week long period of vaccinations, must be administered as soon as possible after exposure.
“Between four and eight per cent of the bats that are tested after coming into contact with people are found to have the rabies virus,” says Jennifer Jeyes, communicable disease specialist with Interior Health.
“Most bat-human encounters occur when bats get into houses or summer cabins, usually through open windows, doors, chimneys, or nar-row cracks. Attics are a favourite bat refuge. If you come into contact with live or dead bats, it is very important to avoid touching them.”
Jeyes advises all con-tact with bats should be taken seriously.
“Anyone who has come into contact with a bat should call the local public health unit or their doctor right away even if you can’t see bite marks or scratches. Bats have tiny sharp teeth and claws, so scratches or bites may not be visible but could still be there.
“People should not wait for symptoms to appear. Get checked out as soon as possible – early treatment is crucial
to prevent the disease from progressing.”
Prevention:• Do not touch live
or dead bats. Parents should tell their children not to play with or touch bats.
• Make your home or cabin “bat proof.” Keep doors and windows closed, make sure win-dow screens don’t have holes, and keep the attic area free of bats by keep-ing all vents properly screened and by closing off other openings.
• If you find a live bat in a room of your home, open the window and close interior doors until the bat leaves.
• Seek professional bat-control advice (from a pest control or wild-life specialist) if your home or workplace or is inhabited by bats.
• Avoid locations or activities where bats are likely to be found (caves).
• If you have a pet dog, cat or ferret, make sure they are vaccinated regularly against rabies. Pets that were born and raised in B.C. pose a very low risk of transmitting rabies to humans; how-ever, vaccinating your pets will protect them from rabies.
Bitten/scratched:• Thoroughly wash
the wounds with soap and water.
• Contact your local public health unit or family doctor immedi-ately.
• Call a wildlife or pest control compa-ny to capture the bat. If trying to capture the bat yourself, avoid contact by wear-ing leather gloves, a hat, long sleeves, and pants.
• Safely contain the bat in a secure covered con-tainer to prevent others from being exposed. Keep the bat in a safe location until Public Health can arrange to pick it up and test it for rabies.

A few precautions can reduce the risk of rabies significantly

K a m l o o p s -Thompson-Car iboo MP Cathy McLeod vis-ited 100 Mile House recently and addressed a group of local busi-nesspersons.
At a luncheon at El Caballo Restaurant, McLeod spoke to about 37 Rotary Club of 100 Mile House members and invitees who heard about some differenc-es between the 2012 and 2013 federal budgets.
McLeod said the Conservative govern-ment’s plan to get back to a balanced bud-get by 2015 will be accomplished through reductions in govern-ment, but there will be no cuts to federal Old Age Security or trans-fers to provinces for health and education.
She gave the examples of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), which, due to today’s electronic filing of tax returns, has a reduced need for such a “very significant num-ber of people” for data entry.
Reducing red tape while maintaining responsible resource development was another topic she touched upon.
“I think people have tried to portray it as we’re walking away from our environmen-tal responsibilities, and I disagree wholeheart-edly.”
It has more to do with reducing bureaucracy, McLeod explained.
Currently, there are both provincial and federal govern-ment processes for any mines going forward for approval, she noted.
“The timelines on that we improved a few years ago, when we said ‘OK they are harmo-nized’, but they never truly were harmonized. So, what we’ve said is ‘where it is appropriate, we need to have one environmental assess-
ment process, with a specific timeframe.’
“So, if you are some-one who has invested millions and millions of dollars and you are looking at a mine, that you know that ... it’s not going to be one govern-ment making a decision and the other gov-
ernment not making a deci-sion, and one asking for this, and the other asking for the same thing.”
M c L e o d noted it takes time to draft regulations to
control this process, but said she believes gov-ernment is “moving in the right direction,” as developing resources responsibly is “going to be absolutely criti-cal” for the future of the local community and the country.
The MP added reduc-ing red tape follows through in a “series of measures” to make
things easier for small businesses, including modified processes at the CRA, Agriculture Canada, Health Canada and others.
“Every single depart-ment in government has recommendations [under a mandate] to start taking things for-ward.”
Skills training is addressed in the Canada Jobs Plan, which provides support in those areas where jobs are important, she explained, to be filled by the Canadians who need them.
“We have work-
ers without jobs and jobs without workers; we have mismatched [skills] training.”
Funding for infra-structure across the country has flowed to municipalities from the federal-provincial Gas Tax agreements since 2005, but McLeod said more is still needed.
“I know for any-one who has travelled to Montreal lately, it is quite frightening to see the rebar on those bridges, the erosion of the roads, the very difficult situation on infrastructure; and it is across the country.”
This year, infrastruc-ture money will be
indexed, she explained, and gives municipalities more flexibility on how they use it.
McLeod added MPs no longer have “gold-plated pensions,” as they now contribute several thousand dollars more annually to the parlia-mentary pension plan, as well as waiting longer to collect the retirement benefits.
She noted the recent change was led by exam-ple by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who significantly cut his own pension plan (beyond what he gets as an MP), both for himself and for future leaders of Canada.

100 MILE NORDICS AGM
Thursday, May 23 at 6:30 pmat the 99 Mile Nordic Centre Lodge
Free child-minding available
For more information, email: [email protected]
In Canada, one in three families cannot afford to enrol their chil-dren in organized sport or recreation activities because of financial barriers (Vision Critical 2011).
Six years ago, Marlee Stein wanted to learn to skate, but she didn’t think it would be possible coming from a family of four children and facing the struggles of a parent battling illness.
Through a family support service in her community, Marlee and her family were intro-duced to Canadian Tire Jumpstart.
The Jumpstart program supported Marlee’s skating les-sons and Skate Canada membership through financial assistance.
A year after lacing up her skates for the first time, Marlee decided to turn her desire to skate into a goal – to one day join the Canadian Olympic Figure Skating team. Through Jumpstart, Marlee is able to continue her skating lessons and is working to achieve this dream.
“Jumpstart helped me get the lessons I needed
to enter some very chal-lenging provincial and national figure skat-ing competitions in Canada,” says Marlee.
“With all the lessons I have taken, I hope it opens up opportunities to eventually become a part of the Canadian Olympic team.”
Says Johnny Misley, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities president: “The benefits of kids participating in sports affects their entire lives.
“Jumpstart is dedicat-ed to removing barriers, so financially disad-vantaged children can simply participate, and ultimately pursue their dreams.”
Youth who are able to participate in organized sport and recreation, outside school hours, gain many short- and long-term benefits, including increased self-esteem, greater self-confidence, leadership skills and better grades.
Despite the finan-cial hardships many Canadian families face, there is a way to get youth into the game, no matter what barrier.
By covering the cost of registration,
equipment and/or trans-portation, Canadian Tire Jumpstart has helped 570,000 (and counting) children like Marlee participate in the sport of their choice.
Help youth from your community by visiting Canadian Tire, Sport Chek, Atmosphere,
Mark’s and Canadian Tire Gas+ stores, as well as Pita Pit locations throughout the month of May to donate $2 in exchange for a red ball, with 100 per cent of all donations going to help children play.
The May campaign will be celebrated on
Jumpstart Day on May 25, with fun activities taking place at participat-ing Canadian Tire Retail stores across the coun-try, including charity barbeques or GoClean waterless car washes.
Visit www.jumpstart.canadiantire.ca to learn more.
