The 100 Mile Lion Club’s mascot, (aka Neil VanderHorst) had the crowd roaring when he rocked the 100 Mile Community Hall with his rendi-tion of the King of the Jungle dance at the annual dinner and auction event on Nov. 2.

The annual 100 Mile Lions Club Dinner and Auction at the 100 Mile Community Hall on Nov. 2 was a roaring success.

100 Mile Lions treasurer Kim Taylor says the event raised slight-ly more than $7,000 for local charities.

“The people who were there were awesome and really support-ed us, so it went very well.”

A rousing live auction, silent auction, bucket draws and door

prizes kept the crowd well enter-tained.

The door prize of $500 in Chamber Bucks was won by lucky local resi-dent Marilyn Vinson.

Two sets of Vancouver Canucks tickets were among the great many great items snapped up by the highest bidders.

A scrumptious chicken-and-lasagne dinner with salad and Black Forest cake pleased palates and eased appetites, Taylor adds.

“Pat and Al from BJ’s Donuts &

Eatery did a great job once again this year.”

A highlight of the eve-ning was when District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall manned the gavel in a pair of lion-print shorts he had also donned at the 2012 event, she notes.

Taylor explains the bid-der back then had both

bought the shorts and coerced the mayor to wear them again this time around.

“Those shorts were made by

another Lion member; they were auctioned off last year and they came back. So, he modelled them and then they were auctioned again.”

She notes this time Lion Neil VanderHorst scored the shorts with a top bid of $80.

The other auctioneers were Timothy Lake resident Wally Gilfoy, and Lion Ron Graves, who also co-hosted the ceremonies with Lion president Judy Linnell.

Everyone was assisted and egged on by 100 Mile Lion, the club’s

Lions raise more than $7,000 for community causes

The Cariboo Regional District board has endorsed chang-es to its Director’s Remuneration Bylaw upon the recommenda-tions of its Policy and Procedures Committee.

The changes are intended to address a number of remunera-tion issues because the existing bylaw is either unclear or silent to clarify them under the differing expectations directors have about remuneration for meet-ings and reimbursement of expenses.

The bylaw currently provides for compen-sation at the full-day rate when two or more meetings are held on the same day and the total time exceeds four hours.

The new bylaw

will add the direc-tors’ Rural Caucus, Joint Committee, and Advisory Planning Commission meetings to that remuneration schedule for consid-eration, since in most cases, these meetings combine to meet the full-day criteria.

Another scenario was presented where, on a regular board meeting day that runs for more than four hours, there should be remuneration for any other meeting scheduled later that evening.

For those rare occasions when it is unavoidable to work more than a full day, the second meeting will be paid separately (at $75) from the board meeting ($185), if the additional meeting begins after 6

p.m. on the same day.The bylaw currently

also assumes directors travel to meetings by personal vehicle, and when overnight trips are required, stay at designated commercial accommodation. The bylaw will be modified to allow for travel by means other than per-sonal vehicle, and/or staying elsewhere, to be eligible for reimburse-ment of expenses up to the equivalent maxi-mum amount.

Other aspects include clarification that the definition of “total meeting time” includes any breaks, and con-siderations for special travel expenses for any directors with disabili-ties.

Download the poli-cy for review at www.cariboord.bc.ca under What’s New in the Sept. 23 regular meeting agenda, item 20.2.

Taylor says atten-dance numbers were

down a bit this year due to the inclement weather, bad roads and a concurrent event. Nevertheless, signifi-cant funds were raised, she explains, which the 100 Mile Lions will, as always, put to good use within the local com-munity.

By Cathy McLeodCanada’s veterans

have served this country with distinction.

Their willingness to defend democracy, free-dom and the rule of law at great personal cost sets them apart as the very best our country has to offer.

Through the First and Second World War, the Korean War, and to the deserts and moun-tains of Afghanistan,

our Armed Forces have never stopped defending the values that we, as Canadians, stand for.

Their bravery and self-sacrifice will always be remembered by our grateful nation. It is because of their dedication and commitment that Canadian families continue to live in peace and security.

We must keep in mind that our men and women in uniform are not face-

less strangers, they are our friends and neighbours, our parents, our children and grandchil-dren and they make us proud each and every day.

We must honour their sacrifice by staying true to our values, never ceasing our gratitude and never forgetting their service.

It is why our gov-ernment declared 2013 “the Year of the Korean War Veteran.” This year marks the 60th anniver-sary of the Armistice that ended the active fighting in the Korean War and the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations

between Canada and South Korea.

As part of the cele-brations, we unveiled a monument in Korea, which honours the 26,000 Canadian Armed Forces personnel who fought in the Korean War and those who served between 1953 and 1957.

On a local level, I will be hosting a special ceremony in honour of 19 Korean War Veterans from Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo on Nov. 23, 2013. It will be a great opportunity to remember the heroes of the Korean War and their brave fight to defend the Republic of Korea and uphold free-dom, democracy and the rule of law.

Cathy McLeod is the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP.

By Donna BarnettOn Nov. 11 across

Canada and much of the world, we will take the day to remem-ber those who have fallen in the line of duty.

Nov. 11 marks the end of the First World War, which ended at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, a conflict in which more than 60,000 Canadians died to defend the freedoms and values we enjoy today.

Remembrance Day is a time to reflect on the sacrifices made by the men and women of our armed forces, who gave their lives to defend their country. The freedoms and rights we enjoy today, such as freedom of speech, free-dom of religion, and the right to vote, came at a cost.

Whether in the First World War or many other conflicts, many selfless men and women paid the ultimate price to protect our way of life.

On the fields of Flanders, where many soldiers died during the First World War, poppies began to grow

among the graves. Today, we wear a poppy on Remembrance Day to show our respect for

the fallen, and to remind our-selves of why they gave their lives to defend our freedoms.

As we remember the sacrifices made for us by count-less brave men

and women we have never had the chance to meet, let us also remem-ber to thank the many veterans who are still with us today, and those currently serving in the Armed Forces. We are forever in your debt.

Donna Barnett is our Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA.

Remembering the Fallen

The Provincial Fugitive Return Program (PFRP) - which recently flew its 40th accused – is receiv-ing another $40,000 this year from civil forfei-ture proceeds.

The program – the first of its kind in Canada – started to return accused back to the specific jurisdiction where they are want-ed for serious, violent offences in 2011. This provincial approach and ongoing financial support contributed to a 60 per cent increase in the number of fugi-tives returned in 2012.

The province’s investment since 2008 is $213,000. This lat-est grant will continue to help fund fugitive transport when the jurisdiction that issued the related, outstand-ing warrants refuses to bear the cost. Among recent passengers are:

• Kimri Arthur Edward Dial, the 40th accused sent back, who was transported from Port Alberni to Edmonton to answer to criminal charges he had evaded since 2007. These charges includ-ed aggravated assault, forcible confinement, uttering threats, pos-session of a weapon for

a dangerous purpose, and attempt to choke to assist an assault.

• Derek Silva, arrest-ed in April by Ridge Meadows RCMP on outstanding charges in Ontario, including sexual assault, utter-ing threats, assault and invitation to sex-ual touching. Silva, whose extensive crimi-nal record dates back to 1996, was identi-fied as a candidate for the PFRP by Port Mann Traffic Services. London Police Services co-operated in his return.

• Justin Michael Pfaff, wanted on outstand-ing warrants in Alberta related to weapons and stolen property, utter-ing threats and other allegations. In his first month in Vancouver, Pfaff had a dozen dis-tinct interactions with police, leading to six more charges. BC Transit Police identi-fied Pfaff as a PFRP candidate.

FAST bytes• The PFRP supports

the provincial govern-ment’s commitment to public safety, removing wanted criminals from British Columbia com-munities, so they are held accountable for

their crimes. • At the top of the list

are prolific offenders and high-risk accused, including known gang-sters, who are wanted for serious offences and violent crimes.

• Under a memoran-dum of understanding signed early in 2012, a program co-ordina-tor within the RCMP’s major crime section

Ingrid Mapson (www.ingridmapson.com) is giving a recital at the 100 Mile United Church on Nov. 17. Ingrid is recognized as an exceptional mezzo soprano with an amaz-ing voice and stunning stage per formance. As soon as I heard her voice when I settled in 100 Mile House in 2007, I knew she would have a promising sing-ing career if she decided to pursue it.

With her effort, she has established a name in the music world in British Columbia. She is sought after to perform for prestigious sympho-

ny orchestras, namely the Kamloops Symphony and the Prince George Symphony.

Its media release stated of Ingrid: “B.C. has many hidden treasures and one of their jewels is Mezzo Soprano Ingrid Mapson in the B.C. Cariboo.”

Other guest performers at the 100 Mile

recital are violinist Curtis Wolfe and pianist Marilyn Buyar. The recit-al will be held at the 100 Mile United Church, 49 Dogwood Cresc., start-ing at 2 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Anthony Lau is a for-mer 100 Mile House musician.

Entertainment is booked for the 36th Annual Winter Arts and Crafts Fair (WACF).

The list includes all local acts and starts with Daven Mapson, a pianist and vocalist, opening at the 100 Mile House Community Hall on Friday (Nov. 8) at 6:30 p.m.

Nov. 9 will see Bob Dalrymple, guitar and vocals, take the stage at 11:30 a.m.

A 3:30 p.m. perfor-mance by Five Alive, a blue grass group with Pat Melanson on gui-tar, Noreen Schulte on standup bass, Tanya Guenther on fiddle, Cathryn Aune on man-dolin and Len Aune playing banjo. Five Alive goes on again at 5:30 p.m.

Dalrymple is the Nov. 10 entertainment, start-ing at 1 p.m.

Mapson is a very tal-ented musician and has played piano and organ at Eclectica Community Choir concerts and at the WACF in past years, says Barb Hooper, 100 Mile & District Arts

Council vice-president. “Len Aune’s group,

Five Alive, all live in the area. This is the first time Five Alive is play-ing for the WACF and we hope to get them back again.

“[Dalrymple] knows Gordon Lightfoot and many other musicians. He has a ton of stories he loves to tell about some of the great musi-cians of our times.

“He has a huge rep-ertoire and his voice is very easy to lis-ten to. Bob played for the WACF in 2011, so we’re glad to get him back.”

Children can also get a picture taken with Santa Claus at the fair.

Graham Allison from 108 Mile Ranch is play-ing Santa while Monika Paterson, a professional photographer from Lac la Hache, is selling pho-tos. On Nov. 8, they’re available from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. and from 6:45 to 7:30 p.m..

On Nov. 9, the sched-ule runs from 10 to 11:30 a.m., 1 to 3 p.m, and 5: 45 to 7 p.m.

For Nov. 10 it’s from 10 a.m. to noon and from 1:15 to 2:30 p.m.

By Al RichmondOn behalf of the

Cariboo Regional board of directors and staff, we salute our Armed Forces for their bravery and perseverance they have made in the past, present and the future to keep our country safe and free.

For those who have served and paid the ulti-mate sacrifice, we remember and

we will never forget.At this time of year,

we also pay tribute to the families and their loved ones who are currently serving with our forces and on peacekeeping missions around the globe. We sincerely hope for your safe return soon.

For our service men and women from the Cariboo-

Chilcotin, no matter where you are serving, you are in our hearts and we are very proud of your commitment to our region, our province and our country.

As the chair of the Cariboo Regional District, I encourage all of our residents to take a moment on Nov. 11 and remem-ber our Canadian Forces who have served before us and those currently serving.

The War Amps 2013 address label mailing is on its way to British Columbia residents starting this week.

Its theme, “Where It All Began,” pays special tribute to the associa-tion’s 95th anniversary.

For Karl, “it all began” with an accident when he was a toddler. In the letter accompa-nying the mailing, he describes how The War Amps Child Amputee Program (CHAMP) was there for him after he escaped his play area to explore the family farm and ended up los-ing his right leg in a

grain auger.“ F o r t u n a t e l y ,

CHAMP had been launched just two years before, and the first thing my family learned was that there would be help whenever we need-ed it,” Karl explains.

“As I grew up, The War Amps support for artificial limbs, vast information and regional seminars gave me all the tools possible for my independence and success.

They also gave me a motto that has stuck with me all my life – it’s what’s left that counts!”

A new study con-cludes that British Columbia households are more “green” with their paper use than oth-ers in North America when it comes to utility bills.

A recent comparison conducted by E-Source indicates that BC Hydro has the 10th high-

est adoption rate for paperless billing among 51 utilities in North America.

Close to 19 per cent of BC Hydro’s custom-ers in 100 Mile House have “switched off ” their paper bills in favour of online billing. Province-wide, more than half a million of BC Hydro’s

1.7 million residential customers have made the switch by signing up for an online account.

“I go online to check my account and electric-ity bill. It’s not just more convenient, it also gives me an idea of which days I use the most power. I can use this information to try to find ways to save,” said Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines.

“We know conserva-tion is going to play a big role in meeting B.C.’s future energy needs, so every little bit helps.”

In addition to being environmentally friend-ly, customers who make the change will find there are many other benefits to creating an

online account. For example, customers can monitor their electricity use broken down by the hour, track the cost of their electricity use up to the day before and com-pare their use to similar homes nearby.

When moving to a new residence, custom-ers can also move their electricity accounts

using the online ser-vices. Customers can also access their billing history and look up pre-vious bills.

BC Hydro also offers online conservation tips to help customers save energy and save money. To create an online account and switch to online billing, visit bch ydro.com/myhydro.

Sent as a thank-you to supporters of The War Amps Key Tag Service, address labels are not just for enve-lopes. They can be used to identify items, such as books and for filling out name and address information on forms.

Karl is just one of the thousands of Champs who have benefitted from The War Amps 95 year legacy of “amputees

helping amputees.” For more stories, the public is encouraged to read the association’s latest annual report at waramps.ca.

The War Amps receives no government grants. Its programs are possible solely through public support of the Key Tag and Address Label Service.

For more informa-tion, or to order address labels, visit waramps.ca or call toll-free 1-800-250-3030.
