More than 70 people packed the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) for its 25th Anniversary Party on Sept. 27.

CFEC executive director Lisa De Paoli said the event was a great success.

The afternoon celebration kicked off with children and staff from the CFEC Early Learning

Centre singing Happy Birthday, which, she noted, was a huge hit and helped demonstrate the work that CFEC staff do each day to help its children be successful.

Then CFEC co-chairs Noella Andrews and Diane Cober recog-nized and thanked both current and previous board members and staff for their tremendous contri-butions to families in the South Cariboo.

District of 100 Mile House

Mayor Mitch Campsall, Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond and Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett all congratulated CFEC on 25 years of caring for families in the South Cariboo.

Each spoke about the differ-ence CFEC has made in the lives of children, youth and families, and its overall contribution to the health of the community, De Paoli explained.

“Mitch thanked the staff for the countless hours they provide ser-vice beyond the hours they are paid, and Al spoke to the lead-ership that CFEC has taken in providing services, including the recent opening of the CFEC Early Learning Centre.

“Donna presented a certificate of appreciation from the Province of British Columbia.”

Jamie Hughes, spokesperson for the 100 Mile House Waterpark Society, urges all South Cariboo and area residents to log on to their comput-ers every day, go to The Aviva Community Fund website and vote for the waterpark in Centennial Park.

“We need everyone’s support to take a min-ute out of their day and log on to The Aviva Community Fund. We have submitted our waterpark idea for the second year and we need votes!”

Folks just need to go to www.aviva communityfund.org/ideas/acf16807 (100 Mile House Waterpark Society is at the top of the list), register and enter their votes.

Then log into the site and vote on a daily basis until 9 a.m. on Oct. 13.

After Oct. 13, the top 30 vote-getters move into the next round. After three rounds, the top 90 groups will enter the semifinals, and then 30 groups move to the finals, which run from Dec. 18 and Jan. 28.

The 100 Mile House Waterpark Society is in the large project category - $100,000

to $150,000.As of 1:30 p.m. on Oct.

1, the waterpark society had 193 votes and was in 64th place – leader was at 1,256 votes.

If the local society wins, Hughes says they

will earmark the funds to purchase the lift gates for the waterpark.

“It’s for a chance at $100,000-$150,000 and it draws a lot of attention to the Waterpark. “If the entire community gets

behind it, it’s so doable. Please vote and help spread the word. Thank you for your time.”

Folks who have ques-tions can contact Hughes at smallexplorersfamily [email protected].

The South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce (SCCC) has begun a new program of pro-viding weekly crime reports to all its mem-bers.

SCCC executive director Colene Hume says it officially started in September, but the first report went out to members in August as a pilot test to see how members responded.

“Any feedback on this [program] would be greatly appreciated.”

It will be sending out these reports with information on evi-dence of crimes, such as theft, break-ins and vandalism, which will be gathered from the RCMP and the SCCC members who send it in to Hume.

“Anything that mem-bers call in with I will be sending out in the next crime report, unless it is really urgent, and then I’ll send it out right away.

“We will be notifying the chamber members by e-mail about any goings-on in our wcommunity that require the assistance of the RCMP and affect

our businesses.”The SCCC members

were asked by e-mail and in a couple of news-letters for feedback on releasing their busi-ness names when any are mentioned in crime reports, and Hume notes no objections were received.

“By network-ing, we can [notify] mem-bers there is crime taking place in our c o m m u n i t y , and then our members know to take extra precautions.”

The reports are only shared with SCCC members, Hume says, adding it will be sent out on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, depending on the availability of information.

She notes members are strongly encour-aged to communicate anything they see or experience regarding local crimes having been committed.

“Make sure the RCMP is always your first call. We also encourage our mem-bers to call the chamber and let us know that a crime has occurred.”

The points Hume will

be looking for when members report a crime are where the crime occurred, which offi-cer is in charge of the case, and what time of day or night the crime is believed to have occurred.

The first test-run report included two vehicle thefts, a stolen char-ity donation jar, graffiti at a public wash-room, and a b r o k e n - i n t o shed at a local business – all of

which Hume notes were sent in by RCMP.

“So far, the response has been good. I’ve had a couple of sugges-tions on how to better it, but other than that ... it’s been ‘thanks, I didn’t know this had occurred’.”

She adds the sugges-tions included having

more crime detail, such as time and date infor-mation, and to provide some suggestions on how to crime-proof a business.

SCCC members can find more details in the

regular newsletters they receive by e-mail.

For information on how to join the SCCC, contact Hume at 250-395-6124 or e-mail her at manager@southcari boochamber.org.

South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce (SCCC) president Jennifer Appleby is headed for an excit-ing new life experience when she travels to China, Oct. 7-15.

“I am going with the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce,” says Appleby.

“The tour operator [Citslinc International Inc.] only deals with Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade.”

The trip was offered to Appleby and other British Columbia chambers of commerce presidents (or executive directors) at a reduced rate, in order to help it find new partner groups, she explains.

While it was on her “bucket list” to visit China someday, Appleby adds she might not have made it there without this opportu-nity.

“It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit a completely for-eign country and a completely fascinating place to see. I think it is going to be extremely interesting.”

The tour opera-tor secures bulk reservations and then offers partnered busi-ness groups a package deal at about half the normal cost, which, she notes, could provide another perk for SCCC membership.

“So, it is [oversees] flights, four-star hotels, three meals a day, and your in-country flights because you go from

Beijing to Shanghai.”Appleby explains the

itinerary is still tenta-tive, but she will very likely see the Great Wall, 2008 Olympic venue, Ming Tombs, Tiananmen Square, F o r b i d d e n City (Palace M u s e u m ) , Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace.

She will dine on Peking Duck and enjoy a boat cruise on West Lake, which boasts relaxing stop-overs at “jewel-like” pagodas and tea houses.

A bus trip to Shanghai will transport Appleby to the Shanghai Silk Rug Factory, the Yu Garden and a tour of Bund, a famous water-front park.

A tour to Suzhou will visit the Silk Factory, Lingering Garden, National Embroidery Institute, and she can sign up at will for

optional trips, such as on the maglev (magnet-ic levitating train) or a canal boat.

“Day 4, for example, has a business confer-ence or a tour or an opera or a Kung Fu

show, so you can pick which ones you want to do.”

The net-w o r k i n g opportunit ies should abound, as Appleby notes the whole group going to

China consists of busi-nesspersons.

“I can take informa-tion about 100 Mile House, about what-ever opportunities are here, and when I come back, we, as a chamber, can decide if we want to work with this tour operator and offer it to our members.”

Appleby says she hopes to learn some-thing about China’s business environment,

through the factory tours, a visit the Pudong Economic Development Zone and possibly other experiences throughout the trip.

Appleby adds her 40th birthday lands

smack in the middle of the trip, and she can’t think of a better gift.

“I’m not going to understand a darn thing. I’m trying to work on my chopstick skills, and I’m terrible at

it so far, but I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t bring my own fork.”

While this particular trip is sold out, to see what it offered and tes-timonials on past trips, visit www.kelowna

chamber.org/chamber/discover_china_trip.aspx.

For more information on SCCC membership, call executive director Colene Hume at 250-395-6124.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, patience is a virtue you possess, and you must make the most of your patient nature this week. Keep this in mind when dealing with family and coworkers.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, keep things in perspective and you will have your cake and eat it, too. You can coolly handle tough situations, and that ability serves you well this week.

GEMINI - May 22/June 21Your imagination is working overtime this week, Gemini. Channel that creative en-ergy and get started on a project you have long been considering.

CANCER - June 22/July 22Cancer, you will be very content for the next few weeks. Enjoy these good times and invite those closest to you to enjoy them as well.

LEO - July 23/Aug 23Leo, your heightened sense of focus on a particular task has left you wondering how to proceed in another area of life. You may want to seek the advice of others.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you may be tempted to throw cau-tion to the wind. While that may make for a memorable experience, it may not prove wise over the long haul.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23You could get caught up in a social whirl-wind this week, Libra. Keep your feet on the ground or you may be swept away in all of the energy.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Staying connected to your feelings is em-powering, Scorpio. Even if others don’t feel exactly as you do, they may go along with plans to make you happy.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, indulgent behavior won’t pay off in the long run. Moderation works best, and you’ll be glad you didn’t overindulge after the fact.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, work and family responsibili-ties have put you under a lot of pressure recently. You could be in need of a respite, even if that break is brief.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, it’s quite possible you will not get much done this week, as you may be too busy encouraging others rather than focusing on your own needs.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Compassion is your speciality, Pisces. Others appreciate your warm nature, so accept their gratitude and affection.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations advises that prescribed burning is planned for several areas west and south of Williams Lake until Oct. 31, weather conditions permitting.

Smoke may be seen in surrounding areas.

These burns are being managed under the Ecosystem Restoration Program to help restore native grassland ecosys-tems.

The following areas will be treated using pre-scribed fire:

• Beecher’s Prairie (Highway 20 at the Toosey turnoff): approx-imately 220 hectares;

• Bald Mountain (south of Riske Creek): approximately 150 ha;

• Deer Creek (Alexis Creek area): approxi-mately 100 ha;

• Crow’s Bar (Fraser River area, south of Dog Creek): approximately 3,000 ha; and

• Ward Creek (Fraser River area, north of Gang Ranch): approxi-mately 400 ha.

Historically, the grasslands in the Cariboo-Chilcotin were

renewed through fre-quent, low-intensity ground fires. Such fires prevented tree encroach-ment, rejuvenated understory plants and helped maintain more open grasslands and for-ests with large trees.

The reintroduction of managed, low-intensity ground fires to these grasslands is intended to restore and maintain traditional grassland plant communities that are native to these areas.

These fires are part of an ongoing ecosys-tem restoration program administered by the pro-vincial government in consultation with First Nations, local ranch-ers, the B.C. Wildlife Federation and the C a r i b o o - C h i l c o t i n Conservation Society.

FAST bytes• Fire is a normal, nat-

ural process in many of British Columbia’s eco-systems. Many species of plants, birds, insects and other animals depend on fire for its regenera-tive properties.

• Fire helps control insects and the spread of disease in forests. It also contributes to forest

regeneration, as younger trees replace older trees. Having trees of various ages in a forest helps cre-ate biodiversity.

• Prescribed burn-ing is one of the tools used by forest profes-sionals to achieve land management objectives. For example, fire can be used to enhance habi-tat and improve forage for cattle, deer, bighorn sheep and moose.

• A controlled burn can also reduce fuel loads (combustible material, such as underbrush and dead wood) and reduce the risk of wildfire in interface areas (where urban development bor-ders on rural areas).

• The size and inten-

sity of prescribed burns are carefully planned and controlled to meet ecosystem management objectives. Prescribed burns are only ignited when weather condi-tions are favourable and when the fire will not create excessive smoke. Important factors used to determine whether a burn will go ahead include the venting index, temperature, humidity and wind con-ditions.

• The venting index is a measure of how quick-ly smoke will disperse under specific condi-tions. Prescribed fires may only be ignited on days when the forecast for the venting index is

“good” or better. • All prescribed

burns must comply with the Environmental Management Act’s open burning smoke control regulation, which helps minimize the amount of smoke that’s produced.

• A prescribed burn is ignited and continu-ously monitored by trained firefighting crews to ensure that the fire does not spread beyond its planned size. The fire crew supervi-sor (the “burn boss”) is responsible for ensur-ing that initial burning conditions are favour-able and that the fire is fully extinguished once the prescribed burn is complete.

Cold rain didn’t deter the close to 30 people gathered at the South Cariboo Visitor Centre in 100 Mile House on Sept. 27 for the planting of a maple tree meant to symbolize welcoming and inclusiveness. Along with the tree plant-ing, coffee and maple cookies were served. The event was organized by the ESL Café, Welcoming Communities and the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy.

Sunrise Ford Sales Ltd. owner Leon Chrétien, left, presented Werner Heine of the 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association with a $4,760 cheque on Sept. 27. The donation represents a final milestone for the local soccer association in their bid to build and finance four new fields at the 100 Mile House Soccer Park, a $1.3-million project that started in 2006.

As part of its Smile Cookie Campaign, the local Tim Hortons restaurant sold smile cookies and orga-nized an airplane toss and 50/50 draw to raise funds for the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society at a 100 Mile House Wranglers game at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Sept. 28. Owners Steve and Barb MacPhail awarded prize winners Cylis Pocha, front, with a coffee maker and Matt Pistell with Wranglers season tickets. In total, Tim Hortons and the Wranglers raised close to $800 for the food bank.

Hundreds of Atlantic lobsters were boiled and served while thou-sands of dollars were raised at the 100 Mile Community Hall on Sept. 28.

Close to 200 people were in attendance for the Third Annual Lobsterfest, organized by the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House, and with more than $15,000 raised, organizers are calling the event a suc-cess.

“Every year, you learn what to do and what not to do,” says Rotary Club president Maureen Pinkney. “Having the tent outside made it nice for the cooks. Inside, we raised a lot of money. Everyone was very active in bidding. It was great.”

Proceeds go to various local groups – the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre and South Cariboo Health Foundation – as well as Rotary Club scholar-ships and youth camps.

Among the bigger auction prizes were a houseboat trip for four days for 15 people and a television pack-age donated by Andre’s Electronics Experts in 100 Mile House.

“Everyone really gets involved in the live auc-tion and outbidding each other on the silent auction items. You get a lot of competition going on.”

Rotary members were also on the bidding block, selling manpow-er, Pinkney adds.

“Four guys for four hours – you can

put them to work for anything. What they were bought for this year was to re-roof a small shed.

“We host a dinner for eight, and that went for $800. So, that was a good one as well.”

Pinkney says the club will be a little more active with ticket sales in the future, since the

event didn’t sell out like it did in 2012.

“Every year we want to change it up a bit and keep it interesting. We hope to get new people and be sold out every year.

“The biggest thank-you goes to all the businesses that donat-ed and all the people who came.”

Lobsterfest nets more than $15,000Local Rotary Club provided fun, seafood, prizes at third annual event

Rotary Club of 100 Mile House president Maureen Pinkney went out to the cook tent and selected the two lobsters she would like to come to her table on Sept. 28.

While talking about a new support group for caregivers, Keith Dobyns, co-pastor at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church in 100 Mile House, recalls a book about taking care of people with dementia, titled The 36-Hour Day.

That’s how caregiv-ers describe their day, Dobyns adds. It doesn’t end.

“There’s a relentless aspect to it. It’s not like having a job where you get to go home at night.”

The group – for anyone caring for some-body with a chronic medical condition or disability – meets at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church the second and fourth Thursday of every month at 10:30 a.m. They had their sec-ond meeting on Sept. 26.

People with medical conditions, of course, often get focused on, Dobyns says.

“But, the people car-ing for them are often under a lot of stress and they don’t necessarily have a place where they can talk about it with people in similar cir-cumstances.

“Most commonly, people who are doing that are viewed by the community as saints - ‘Oh, you must be really patient. You’re a really good person’. Actually people are just trying to live their lives and do

the best they can and it takes a lot of work.”

Although it’s spon-sored by the church, Dobyns notes it’s not a religious group.

“I’m there more to lis-ten and ask questions than to give advice. Our assumption is most of the time, when people hit a wall in their own emotional resources in taking care of some-body, they don’t really need a professional tell-ing them what to do.

What they need is folks who understand

and can listen and can share their own experi-ences.”

Dobyns moved to 100 Mile House close to 18 months ago with his wife, Kristen, also co-pastor at the church. Prior to the move, Keith worked in a retirement community in Indiana, particularly with people suffering from demen-tia. He says the support group is like an exten-sion of what he’s done in the past.

“We have folks taking care of elderly parents.

We have spouses tak-ing care of a husband or wife. We have folks taking care of another relative or child.

“I think a number of us at the church want to give people a place where they can feel lis-tened to and where they can share support with other people.”

People interested in learning more or join-ing the group can show up or call Dobyns at 250-302-1157 or Wendy Hamblin at 250-791-0024.

Premier Christy Clark sat in the visitor

seats of the British Columbia legislature on

June 26, as her government’s throne speech

renewed the B.C. Liberal commitments

from the May election.

Lt. Governor Judith Guichon read a

brief speech to open a rare summer session

of the legislature, reiterating government

commitments for four consecutive bal-

anced budgets and a freeze on carbon tax

and most personal income tax rates.

Clark attended before returning to

duties as premier and a campaign for a

seat in Westside-Kelowna in a byelection

set for July 10.

“Waiting to take a seat makes it a little bit

harder to get down to business as quickly

as I’d like, but I’m not letting that get in the

way,” Clark told reporters on a visit to a

care facility under construction in Saanich.

“We called the legislature back before I

had a seat because we want to get this bal-

anced budget passed.”

NDP house leader John Horgan called it

a “bogus” budget that aims to hold health

care spending below one per cent growth,

a target not seen since the Social Credit

restraint program of the early 1980s.

The legislature is to sit until July 25,

debating the budget and the spending

estimates for all government ministries as

required by law.

The first order of business on June 26

was the unanimous election of veteran

Richmond East B.C. Liberal MLA Linda

Reid as speaker of the legislature.

Coquitlam-Burke Mountain B.C. Liberal

MLA Doug Horne was elected deputy

speaker and Burnaby-Edmonds NDP MLA

Raj Chouhan is assistant deputy speaker.

The 100 Mile House Wranglers are off to a great start in the Junior B hockey club’s inau-gural season in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) – currently tied for second place in the Doug Birks Division.

Wranglers club president and KIJHL director Tom Bachynski notes that for a virtual

expansion team, the club has had some mod-est success as it looks to continually improve throughout the season.

“Off ice for the orga-nization, things are as frantic as the view of a duck in a river, below the water line.”

Everyone in the orga-nization and most of the volunteers are going full blast, he adds, but a number of items still need to be covered off.

“We want to put on

a good show for every-one. When Wrangler fans come to the rink, we want them to be entertained both on and off the ice.

“We always have lots going on and want that

excitement and enthu-siasm to flow into the stands.

Bachynski says the club needs some admin-istrative help.

The club needs some-one who will serve as the visiting team ambassador for home games. This volunteer will welcome the visit-ing team and make sure the team bus has access to the back of the arena.

The ambassador will supply the visiting team

with information it may need about the town, contact numbers and how things happen dur-ing and after the game.

The Wranglers also need a webmaster. It would involve keeping the club’s webpage up-to-date and current, as well as being someone

who can tweet updates of all of the Wranglers’ home games.

The club also needs a statistician who can input game sheets to the league’s website within two hours of game’s completion – it must be correct.

Bachynski says the

Wranglers need a cheer-leader – someone with the power to get the crowd excited and get them to turn the noise up.

Anyone interested in any of these volun-teer positions, can call the Wranglers office at 250-395-4344, or e-mail office@100milewrang lers.com.

“We have the start of something truly magi-cal – a good team, great fan support and a lot of volunteers. We just need a couple more vol-unteers in critical areas to make it outstanding.”

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett joined more than 600 guests at Gibraltar Mine, north of Williams Lake, to celebrate the successful completion of its new mill and the hiring of 150 additional workers Sept. 19.

The addition of the new employees makes Gibraltar one of the largest employers in the Cariboo. The mine, operated by Taseko Mines Limited, just completed the recent $325-million develop-ment, which included the new facility and addition to its mining fleet. The new mill is a 30,000-ton-per-day, standalone facility that enhances operating flexibility and reliability.

“The addition of 150 new workers, Gibraltar Mine is an excellent example of how the mining industry is building and sustain-ing communities across B.C.,” said Barnett.

“Mining supports thousands of well-paying, secure jobs for families in communities throughout our prov-ince and continues to be a vital part of our economy.”

The new develop-ment, which is part of the BC Job Plan goal to open eight new mines and expand nine others in British Columbia by 2015, will extend the life of the mine until 2039.

“The new jobs at the Gibraltar Mine will create a stronger, more

economically vibrant Cariboo region with security for families for many years to come,” said Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes.

“This just empha-sizes the importance of the mining industry to this region and to our province,” the Cariboo North MLA added.

Mineral exploration and mining are impor-tant economic drivers for B.C. The production value of B.C.’s mining industry was approxi-

mately $8.3 billion in 2012.

Since the BC Jobs Plan was released, two new mines are in opera-tion, and six more are under construction or permitted. The prov-ince also has approved six major expansions of existing mines.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said Gibraltar Mine is very important to the economic develop-ment of the Cariboo, and is one of the big-gest employers in our region.

“With the recent com-pletion of its new mill, we can look forward to Gibraltar remaining an important part of our regional economy for decades to come.”

FAST bytes• Gibraltar mine

employs 700 people in the Cariboo.

• In 2012, more than 30,000 people were employed in mining, mineral exploration and related sectors. This is significant growth since 2001 when only 14,700 people were employed in mining.

• As committed in the BC Jobs Plan, eight new mines will open and nine will be expand-ed by 2015. This will

result in:• An increase in

annual mine-operation revenue by $1.6 billion.

• Approximately 2,000 jobs during con-struction.

• 2,000 new direct jobs and 3,000 indirect jobs during the operat-ing life of the mine.

• Sustain 12,500 exist-ing jobs (5,000 direct and 7,500 indirect).

• $150 million annu-ally in government revenue.

• British Columbia already is more than halfway toward achiev-ing the BC Jobs Plan goals.

Looking for a little bundle of love? If a pet is what you need to make your life more complete, consider checking the Free Press Classifi eds and fi nd yourself a little furry (or feathery or scaly) creature to call your own.

Families are invited to drop by the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (486 Birch Ave.) to check out the widow paintings, which cel-ebrate families during National Family Week, and have been created by Joanne Young of Creating Joy in Art.

CFEC executive director Lisa De Paoli says the centre will be having an open house on Oct. 11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“We will be giving out cupcakes and balloons

as well as educational material.”

De Paoli offers the fol-lowing from parents coun-selling book, Parenting – the Big Picture.

“Here are a few thoughts to meditate on in those quiet moments while you sit waiting for your little child to fall asleep or waiting for your teen-ager to come in from an evening with friends.”

• When raising children, it is more

important to be helpful than to be accurate.

• Keep track of your child’s de ve lopment and abilities, so you don’t ask so much that they are set up to fail or so little that

they have nothing to be proud of.

• Your children need your presence more than you presents.

• When children are

least likeable is often when they most need us to show them our love.

• Your children’s behaviour usually tells you more about what’s going on inside them than about what they think of you. They aren’t acting this way to drive you crazy.

• When you see anger, in yourself or others, look for the fear, disap-pointment, frustration, or anxiety that is hiding under all that surface noise.

• Sometimes, parents

need to take a time-out too.

“In the end, as a wise and caring parent, you can listen to all the advice offered and then choose what you think is best for you and your child.”

Barnett also noted it was “a sincere pleasure” to extend her best wish-es and congratulations to the CFEC.

“Thank you for help-ing to strengthen the quality of personal, family and communi-ty life for the past 25 years in the South Cariboo.”

De Paoli added CFEC was very honoured to have its founding executive director and first counsellor, Carol Myers, attend as a spe-cial guest.

“Carol shared how she started CFEC because she wanted 100 Mile House families to have access to the same help and servic-es that she received in Williams Lake when she experienced her own challenges.”

Another special guest, which De Paoli called a “star of the event,” was Carrie Gould, a single mother who had four children and twins on the way when she first

came to the community, where she knew not a soul.

One of the many mothers who has ben-efited by the services provided by CFEC, Gould called the staff at the centre her “angels” for helping her back then, De Paoli added.

“Carrie said that as soon as she walked in the door of the centre, she felt welcome and at home. The services and support she received helped her to deliver two healthy twin boys – Mack and Levi – who were smiling through-out their mom’s speech.”

Everyone then enjoyed a piece of the large and delicious anniversary cake laden with fruit and whipped cream.

During the event, folks were encouraged to become members of CFEC, an invitation De Paoli also extends to the community at large. Everyone is asked to consider membership as a great way to con-

gratulate CFEC on 25 years of service.

“Our goal is to recruit 100 new members to CFEC this fall through our inaugural member-ship drive.”

For more informa-tion on membership or services, visit the cen-tre at 486 Birch Ave. (beside Century Home Hardware) or call 250-395-5155.

“A New Way To Listen To Radio”

Jeff NagelBlack Press

The NDP’s justice critic is urging the province to overhaul its process for review-ing roadside driving bans imposed on drinking drivers in light of a recent court ruling.

Leonard Krog said the B.C. Liberal govern-ment should proactively offer to re-review other cases if the procedure for weighing challenges turns out to have been incorrect.

The B.C. Supreme Court this month quashed one roadside driving ban that had been upheld in the review process, decid-ing a report setting out guidelines for use of alcohol-screening devices was inadmis-sible.

Defence lawyers say the ruling could be grounds for many more roadside prohibitions to be appealed.

Krog said the gov-ernment must be scrupulously fair in how it handles chal-lenges of the penalties because they take effect immediately and are dispensed at the road-side by police, not a judge.

“In our zeal to get drunk drivers off the road, which is some-thing we all share, it doesn’t mean you get to disregard the rights of citizens to fairness in the hearing process. It clearly opens up the possibility of many other people asking for judicial reviews.”

Government law-yers are still reviewing the implications of the overturned decision.

However, Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the ruling appears to be largely procedural and unlikely to threaten the three-year-old legis-lation underpinning the Immediate Roadside Prohibitions.

“When you have a new program, you can expect that people are going to take runs at it.

But fundamentally, the legislation remains very sound.”

Anton said about 1,500 roadside prohi-bitions are issued each month and just two per cent on average are successfully chal-lenged.

A l c o h o l - r e l a t e d fatalities have plunged 51 per cent since the expanded system of suspensions kicked in nearly three years ago – replacing criminal prosecutions of many impaired drivers – and the government esti-mates 143 lives have

been saved.Anton said the reg-

ulations continue to have a powerful effect deterring people from drinking and then driv-ing.

“People understand the immediate serious consequences that flow from that.”

Drivers who get an Immediate Roadside Prohibition can lose their driving privileges for up to 90 days, have their vehicle impound-ed and face hefty fines as well as costly instal-lation of an ignition interlock device in

their vehicle.Documents recent-

ly disclosed under Freedom of Information show drivers who chal-lenge their rulings to the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles aren’t told if the screening device used to test them was later found to be inaccurate.

They’re merely told their driving prohi-bition was deemed invalid, without provi-sion of specific reasons, usually weeks after the vehicle was impounded and the licence sus-pended.

The province pays towing and storage bills of appellants who are successful.

Province should review more roadside driving bans: NDP

By Karen Schuurman

It was bittersweet for Kelly Harrop, owner of Kelly’s Whistlestop Cafe in downtown Lone Butte.

After a good sev-en-year run, she has decided to close the doors of her neighbour-hood gathering spot.

There were a few tears, a lot of hugs, and some laughter to go with beautiful flowers, as many of her regulars came by on her last day of business to extend their well wishes.

On behalf of the entire community, we wish her good luck in her future endeavours.

Whistlestop Cafe closing

Longtime customers dropped into Kelly's Whistlestop Cafe in Lone Butte last week to say goodbye to Kelly Harrop who has closed the doors to the popular gathering place.
