Two readings given to processing facilityCompany looking to retrieve precious metals with green technology

Ken AlexanderFree Press

Steve Hanson of IMG Gold Recovery and Larry Henderson, of Henderson Contracting, were before District of 100 Mile House council on Oct. 14 seeking a zoning amend-ment that would allow a natural resource processing facility on a Sollows Crescent property.

The land is owned by Henderson and is the former Original Log Homes construction yard.

Hanson is a partner in the IMG Gold Recovery pilot plant in Burnaby, which trucks sand and placer materials to its site, extracts precious metals and minerals – pri-marily gold, silver and platinum – by using a non-chemical process, and

then trucks the leftover material away.

Hanson and Henderson would like to set up a similar system in 100 Mile House, where it would be central to numerous mining opera-tions throughout British Columbia, which could supply the sand and placer material.

Hanson said he had looked at several com-munities in central B.C., but liked what he found in 100 Mile House.

He added the non-chemical processing system is based on gravity separation.

“It’s a green solution for recover-ing precious metals.”

Noting the processing will be done

in the existing warehouse building, Hanson said the process won’t need a lot of water because most of it will be recycled. However, after the precious metal is extracted, a small amount of water will remain in the

silt in the settling tank.Hanson explained the

pilot plant in Burnaby retrieves around 95 per cent of the precious metals from the sand and placer materials.

“With our new green technology, we are using old [mining] fields to

get the product.”Henderson said IMG is retrieving

material that can’t be captured in a normal placer operation, which, he added, only retrieves about 10 per

cent of the minerals – visible gold.Hanson explained that getting

a continuous supply of sand and placer materials is a key issue and it’s something they are working on. He added noise is not a concern because the process is like a cement mixer turning a slurry mixture.

“Security won’t be a problem because the smelting will be done off-site.

He expects to hire four to six employees at the beginning and hopes to be operational next spring.

Councillors gave the zoning amendment two readings, which is the first step in the process. The pub-lic hearing will be held on Nov. 12, and the amendment could get third reading that night.

Auctioneer Larry Jordan and “junior auctioneer” Wyatt Coulson helped raise more than $22,000 during the 30th Annual Ducks Unlimited Banquet and Auction at the 108 Community Hall on Oct. 18. Eighty-seven cents of every dollar raised goes to Ducks Unlimited projects.

‘What our history has to offer’CRD, Northern Secwepemc Cultural Society sign lease agreement for museum site

School District #27 chief election offi-cer Kevin Futcher declared all three South End trustees to be elected by accla-mation on Oct. 20.While the general election takes place on Nov. 15, there were no candidates successfully nomi-nated to run against new candidate Linda Nielsen (Zone 1) or against incum-bent trustees Chris Pettman (Zone 2) and Tanya Guenther (Zone 3), who were acclaimed on Oct. 20.

The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has now officially declared all three South Cariboo area directorial can-didates as elected by acclamation.There were no candidates success-fully nominated to run against incumbent directors Al Richmond (Area G) and Margo Wagner (Area H) or against new candi-date Brian Coakley (Area L), so all were acclaimed on Oct. 20

The BC Access Grant for Labour Market Priorities has expand-ed student financial aid to support in-demand trades to meet labour market needs. Students may be eli-gible for up to $2,000 ($5,400 with depen-dents) if they qualify for StudentAid BC funding and attend full-time studies at one of the approved foundation or pre-apprentice programs at an eligible post-secondary institution.There is no need to apply separately for tools, loans and unmet needs components (only for relocation), as this will be auto-matically assessed in processing the fund-ing application.

More than 10 years of planning culminated with the signing of a 99-year lease agreement between the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) and a group of local First Nations relating to a parcel of land near 108 Mile Lake on Oct. 14.

Close to 50 people were in atten-dance under a white tent next to the 108 Mile Rest Area off Highway 97, near the proposed site of a Northern Secwepemc First Nation’s museum and cultural centre.

With the construction of the complex, the Northern Secwepemc Cultural Society (NSCS) – which represents the Canim Lake Band, Stswecem’c Xgat’tem, Soda Creek Indian Band, Williams Lake Indian Band and Esketemc First Nation

– hopes to preserve and share his-torical information and objects of educational and cultural value.

Canim Lake Band Chief Mike Archie participated in a drumming ceremony and addressed the crowd before the signing.

“It’s time to do the building and have a place to see what our history has to offer” he said, adding the site is “a powerful place.”

CRD chair Al Richmond also spoke before the signing. Richmond emphasized partnership, co-opera-tion and bringing communities and their histories together with the 108 Heritage Site nearby.

“Projects of this nature show what can truly be accomplished when all levels of government, societies and residents work together in col-laboration. This is what building communities together is truly about.”

Irene Gilbert, NSCS president, was one of the signatories.

“The signing marks the culmina-tion of many years of hard work by numerous band members as well as many dedicated and talented pro-fessional consultants. Our society wishes to thank those people and all the chiefs and band councillors who have supported our project throughout our long journey to this point. We look forward to the next steps and are hoping that we will be operating our cultural centre and museum by the spring of 2017.”

The building site was acquired through donations from TELUS, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and through a lease of the land with the CRD.

Years of topographic surveys, archaeological and environmental impact assessments, feasibility stud-

ies, architectural schematic design and business plan development pre-ceded the signing.

The CRD, Northern Development Initiative Trust, Heritage Canada, Western Economic Development Canada, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada and the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition donated significant fund-ing for the work to date and more than $125,000 has been contribut-ed by the five participating NSCS bands.

Applications for funding the con-struction of the complex will be made in the near future, while the five Northern Secwepemc bands are expected to subsidize the centre’s operations.

Construction is expected to begin in 2016 and a tentative opening has been scheduled for May 2017.

Irene Gilbert, Northern Secwepemc Cultural Society president, and Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond exchanged gifts before signing a lease agreement relating to a parcel of land near 108 Mile Lake, the proposed site of a new First Nations Museum.

The South Cariboo Joint Committee (SCJC) made the unanimous decision at its Oct. 21 meeting to defer the 100 Mile House aquatic cen-tre project for review by the incoming politicians after the Nov. 15 elections.

Cariboo Regional District (CRD) community services manager Darron Campbell delivered a verbal report on the pool working group’s recommendations.

The results of the poll were “not definitive” with 46 per cent approving of the current proposal’s cost and its affect on property taxa-

tion, he said.Campbell explained the

potential options suggested by the working group, which includes members from the CRD board, District of 100 Mile House council, and pool user groups.

Options included defer-ring the project at this time; working on reducing

its costs and scope; seek-ing alternative funding; and expanding the taxation base.

Some important consid-erations for these included ensuring any reduced pool centre scope will still satisfy it users; and the significant challenges in finding any new recreation grants, par-ticularly sufficient funding

to make enough difference to public support of a $15-mil-lion project, he said.

Campbell added the impacts of beginning the whole lengthy process again, including a new feasibil-ity study, would very likely be required to expand the current recreation taxation boundaries.

Joint committee postpones pool verdict


The South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce (SCCC) is hosting a municipal all-candi-dates forum in the Valley Room on Nov. 4 at 7 p.m.

Voters are encour-aged to show up to ask, and hear answers to, the tough ques-tions that matter to the municipality before the upcoming District of 100 Mile House elections.

Meanwhile, the SCCC “wants to know what you want to know” about these candidates’ stances on important local issues.

Folks may send in their questions before the forum to “Municipal Elections”, Box 2312, 100 Mile House, B.C. V0K 2E0 or e-mail to manager@south cariboochamber.org.

Candidates running for the mayor’s chair or one of the four council-lor positions will answer questions from the floor, as well as a selection from the questions that have come in from the public prior to the forum.

How to voteGeneral voting day

for residents and non-

resident property owners in 100 Mile House is on Nov. 15 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in council chambers at 385 Birch Ave. (Fourth Street entrance only).

An advance voting opportunity is available on Nov. 5, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. in council chambers.

The District also offers voting by mail ballot for persons unable to vote in per-son, by request to the District office at 385 Birch Ave., or by mail to P.O. Box 340, 100 Mile House, B.C. V0K 2E0.

Complete and return an application form to

the chief election officer prior to Oct. 27, when approved mail-in bal-lots can be picked up or will be mailed to you.

For more informa-tion, contact chief election officer Tammy McDermid at 250-395-2434 or [email protected].


District of 100 Mile House council will approve a Cemetery Amendment Bylaw on Oct. 28 that clarifies it is not responsible for repairs or replacements to memorials damaged by routine maintenance or vandalism.

District chief admin-istration officer Roy Scott says the request for change originated from operations staff.

In some cases, the municipality has had to pay for memorial replacements due to the previous lack of liability language in the bylaws, he notes.

“If there is any neg-ligence involved, or we knock something over with a piece of equip-ment, absolutely [we would replace it].

“It’s [about] the nor-mal day-to-day cutting of the grass, moving snow – and things due to weather, and we get blamed for that. It’s try-ing to limit any liability or risk on our part.”

District director of operations Phil Strain notes the municipality is taking these measures to try to avoid misun-derstandings about liability for damage to memorials.

“We’ve had people come in here very upset that their memorial

has either been stolen or damaged by vandal-ism, and they feel it is the District that should replace it.

“We researched these two clauses that we put in, and at least 95 per cent of the cemetery bylaws in the province have similar wording to this.”

Sometimes damage can occur from mowers and other maintenance equipment, despite the District’s practice to inspect for shifted or risen stones from frost heave, and levelling them out, he explains.

“Even minor chipping and scratching, you can’t help that when you are maintaining a cem-

etery, but we get certain people in who demand we replace them. So, this just clarifies it and we have something that we can show them....”

The District “always” tries to minimize dam-age and does maintain the grave sites regularly, Strain adds.

“We have a summer student that’s more or less dedicated to doing that kind of work throughout the summer.”

Strain encourages people to report dam-aged memorials and ground heaving or set-tling at the graves to the District public works yard at 250-395-2123, or to e-mail him directly at pstrain@

dist100milehouse.bc.ca.“We do get peo-

ple coming in and saying they noticed the graves either sinking or the memo-rial is frost heaved, and then we address them

right away.“We always need to

know that because if we see a constant set of vandalisms we can get the police notified and they can do some extra checks through there.”

The District will con-tinue to provide the labour to reset a memo-rial replacement, but won’t cover the costs of any damage that is not directly a result of staff negligence, he notes.

It took the District of 100 Mile House coun-cil less than a minute on Oct. 14 to approve a development permit that will see the local Dairy Queen restaurant open for business again.

Councillors liked what they saw in the application proposed by Amarjit Janda in mid-September, as there will be extensive renovations to both the interior and exterior of the facility.

Council told staff to execute the permit so renovations could get underway.

However, Janda wants DQ and Grill & Chill signs on the north-fac-ing side of the building, as well as a DQ sign that would extend above the roofline of the front face of the building.

Because these are contraventions of the District’s sign bylaw, Janda applied for a development variance permit (DVP).

Council authorized staff to get the DVP process underway, which involves notify-ing adjoining property owners and newspaper advertising.

On Nov. 12, council will make a decision on whether to approve the DVP application.

During the meeting, it was noted the new Dairy Queen will be adding an Orange Julius outlet to the restaurant.

If all goes as planned, the store will be opened for business in mid-December.

Noting he was excited about the Dairy Queen opening, Mayor Mitch Campsall said he was sure it would be very successful.

Comprehensive coverage of your 2014 municipal election:See more online

We congratulate all nine candidates for their decision to run for the mayor’s position (two) and councillor seats (seven) on the District of 100 Mile House council in the Nov. 15 municipal elections.

We will ask all of candidates in this upcoming municipal election the same set of

questions, which will appear in this and the Oct. 30 editions of the 100 Mile House Free Press.

They have been given 250 words to provide their personal information, and to answer why they’re running and the following question.

Voters will decide the future of 100 Mile HouseYou make a difference – get out and vote on Nov. 15

If elected: What are your plans for economic development in 100 Mile House; how would you promote this development and/or bring jobs to the community?

Maureen PinkneyMayoral candidateMaureen: daughter of Larry and Ann

PinkneyLarry came to Canim Lake in 1945 with

his parents and siblings where they worked hard on their ranch; his dad was a millwright. Ann came to 100 Mile House in 1951 with her family and also has lived here ever since.

Dad worked very hard, 60-80 hours a week as a residential, commercial and industrial electri-cian. Mom did the bookwork, and together they started an electri-cal business and a furniture store. They both worked very hard, living with-out any of today’s frills to strive for a solid future.

They built a few commercial buildings and are now retired, still here, show-ing that hard work and living within your means pays off. I have those

same philosophies.I was born here and have always been

very active in volunteering, working, and striving to better our community. I believe you should vote for me because of my

dedication, proven record to get things done, openness, and work ethic.

The Cadet building on Horse Lake Road - $535,000 built with-out any taxpayers’ dollars is a great example of that commit-ment.

Economic developmentWe have not seen any new com-

merce for quite some time. A Trade School is a great start to that and expanding on our agriculture assets.

We have two great Industrial Areas to attract new manufacturing. Our Retail sec-tor has shrunken to an all time low. We can look to expand our Medical Care Facilities and so much more.

Ralph FossumIncumbent councillorI have served on Council for 12 years; I

have been active with Rotary for 38 years (Fall Fair, seniors’ dinner, and much more); I am a Hospital Foundation direc-tor; and I participate in numerous community activities!

I am running for office because I care; this is my home; this is where I live; and this is where I seek to offer into community at all levels. I am active and I have the time and energy to be present for day and evening activity!

Economic developmentFor the past few years, it has been

important to protect and work with what we have... our mills!

We cannot compete with the develop-ment taking place in NE and NW B.C.; we

have had to protect what we have and we are doing fine at that.

Currently, we have over $62,000,000 of development taking place in town this year – that’s not bad for a community of less

than 2,000 people. Do the math per capita! One of the greatest assets we have is “friendly people” ... just ask those who leave and come back!

We are a place where people like to live; we are a great little community: yes, some things are missing but that’s not all bad. Do we want crime, gangs, unfriendliness, parking meters, and rush hour traffic? Let’s appre-ciate what we have and please

get involved! It’s fun! That is economic development ... they will come! And they are, but let’s take the time to “Cariboo-ize” the new ones.

Rita GiesbrechtCouncillor candidateSince moving here in 1990, I have been

involved in numerous organizations. Currently, I am an Agri-Culture Enterprise Centre Society director; District Arts Council director and presi-dent of the Regional Arts Council; vice-chair of the Food Security Committee and South Cariboo Community Planning Council representative.

It is my firm belief that progress can be made through collabora-tion with these groups and local government, and welcome the chance to work from the other side of the equation.

Economic developmentFor the last five years, our group of

volunteers has been working to establish the Agri-Culture Enterprise Centre, an economic development centre for the agri-culture sector, including a food security plan for the region.

100 Mile Lodge was identified as the location for the Centre because it is the historic beginning not only of the town, but of pioneering organic grow-ing and food self-sufficiency, many years

ago.It was identified by the 2009

feasibility study, and I feel even more strongly now, that when the District of 100 Mile House was gifted The Lodge com-plex to benefit the region, that this opportunity should be seized.

Tourism can be a driver for a local economy but is under-developed. Working with the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association, I am aware of oppor-

tunities we could access, starting with Municipal Regional District Tax marketing funding.

If we leverage our Heritage, our Arts and Culture community, and our potential for developing a new Agriculture and Food economy, we can build a vigorous healthy community for families.

Trade school a great start to economic development

Fossum has time, energy, and experience for community service

Need to leverage heritage, art and cultural community to develop new economy

Mitch CampsallIncumbent mayorI have lived and raised my family

in 100 Mile House for the past 30 years. I have been a member of council for 17 of those years; the last six as Mayor.

I am seeking re-election to ensure the goal of being debt free by 2018 becomes a reality.

Economic developmentWhen asked about economic

development, I always made it clear that governments DO NOT create jobs.

What we do is create a landscape where we make life easier for business and we support and encourage business develop-ment with the tools we have.

Six years ago we set three goals in sup-port of business:

• To cut red tape for business develop-ment

• To ensure tax rates were competitive

• To promote and support business and industry

All of this has been accomplished. Our staff processes applications in record

times; our industry and business municipal purpose tax rates are 20 to 90 per cent less than our neighbouring communities and we have developed “investment ready profiles” web portals for investors; Love 100 Mile initia-tive; business facade program; sustainability planning; and all work to support local business.

We operate a community for-est that has contributed some $6

million into the local economy; supporting local employment and community infra-structure.

We are currently working with a number of partners to secure a vacant school for purposes of research and development and local trades training.

As a Council, we will continue to fill our role in support of economic development.

Mingo: competitive tax rates key to economic development

Fair tax environment will attract new businesses

Bill HaddenIncumbent councillor

Maureen and I have been married for 28 years, we have three daughters and two granddaughters.

We own and operate four small businesses for the last 31 years.

I have spent the last six years on council as a coun-cillor.

Since being on council, we have done a tangible capital asset (TCA) plan, an eco-nomic plan, and an operation plan.

Through these we have a value of $41,274,850 of hard assets.

We have identified where we are deficient in reserve and capital funds.

We have identified where we need to upgrade sewer and water, as well as opportunities for new systems.

Our operational funds and reserve funds are being built by being conser-vative with your tax dollars.

The TCA funds will have to be accrued in a steady, consistent man-ner from tax revenues.

With these funds, we will leverage grant money from senior govern-ments.

Debt reduction and reserve build-ing have been a constant for the last

six years. We are in a posi-tion to relax all current debts within the next four years.

Economic developmentI am of the opinion that

municipal governments should focus on water, sewer, roads, and emergency ser-vices.

By providing a clean, healthy and financially sound

environment, we can attract and retain new businesses.

Upgrades to existing water and sewer, as well as new water and sewer services to Exeter Road are a priority.

We can provide a fair and equitable tax environment to attract new busi-nesses.

John McCarvillCouncillor Candidate

John McCarvill has lived in the Cariboo for nearly 25 years.

Presently, he and his wife, Evva, own and oper-ate Yummers EnRoute in 100 Mile House.

In addition to the res-taurant, John has worked as a self-employed consultant doing eco-nomic development and employment readiness work for both government and the private sector.

John is very active in the com-munity where he sits on the South Cariboo Agri-Culture Enterprise

Centre board as the Secretary/Treasurer; the Agriplex Society Board; a member of the Chamber of Commerce; a member of

the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre and under the auspices of his restaurant, he is a Gold Sponsor of the 100 Mile Wranglers and supports many organizations through donations.

Economic developmentEconomic develop-

ment is my number 1 priority. I believe that a complete review

of our budget is necessary, so that we can allocate funding towards the hiring of an economic devel-

opment officer.We are presently focusing on

planning, but not how to create a business-friendly environment. Creating new jobs allows our community the ability to provide the services and recreation we deserve.

I suspect that we need to revisit the District’s approach to Development Cost Charges. These charges are, of course, necessary; however, they need to make sense to land develop-ers and they absolutely must be competitive.

We can no longer rely on tra-ditional resource jobs, the future is in value-added manufacturing, technology and green-energy solutions.

Dave MingoIncumbent councillor

I was born and raised in Mission, met my wife, Kerri, there and we moved to the South Cariboo in 1994.

I have been a Councillor for the District of 100 Mile House for 7.5 years. I am a Regional Manager for Total Pet, covering the northern portion of British Columbia. I am currently president of the 100 Mile Fly Fishers.

In the past, I was the fisheries direc-tor for the Lone Butte Fish and Wildlife Association and a co-organizer of the Iron Horse Toy Run. I have been a key organizer of the Hot July Nights Show ’n Shine as well as its emcee.

I enjoy serving our community, take great pride in it and I believe my experience will better the District of

100 Mile House.

Economic developmentThe key to bringing in new

business, as well as keeping our existing businesses, is low tax rates and less red tape.

A business-friendly local government encourag-es investment in 100 Mile House.

Controlling spending, while maintaining existing services and adding new ser-

vices only when financially viable, will keep our tax rates competitive.

If we continue along the track we are on now, 100 Mile House will be debt free by 2018.

No interest payments will allow us to spend more on services while maintaining low tax rates.

It is foolhardy to believe that you can spend yourself into prosperity.

McCarvill: economic development is number 1 priority

Peter ReidCouncillor candidate

My wife and I moved to the Cariboo over 20 years ago and currently run a small business in 100 Mile House.

I am a very strong c om mu n it y - m i nd e d person who works hard for what I believe in. I am a director of the Agriplex Society, which saved the Stan Halcro arena; president of the local dog club; and chair of the South Cariboo chapter of Back

Country Horsemen.I have a strong background

in business and understand the commitment it takes to be suc-

cessful. I decided to run for councillor because there needs to be a change of viewpoint to obtain economic recov-ery after the collapse of the log home industry.

Your question on plans for economic development and how to promote this develop-ment to bring jobs to the

community is difficult. An easier question would be when would

the Canucks win the Stanley Cup?

First, no one person can accomplish this without the co-operation of the whole com-munity. We need to focus on our strengths, not on what we don’t have.

Council needs to target commercial and industrial opportunities and work in part-nership with the business community if we want to improve the local economy. If elected I would bring a fresh approach to council to help build a stronger economy while maintaining that small-town appeal.

Bringing fresh approach to help build stronger economy

Spence HendersonIncumbent councillor

I’m remarried for three years now, have 10 blended kids and spous-es (one of them now teaching French at the PSO) and four grand-children.

I actually live and pay taxes in 100 Mile House and have lived in the area 35 years. I’ve served District council for nine years and the Chamber of Commerce for many more. I am highly involved at Cariboo Christian Life Fellowship church.

I own and operate True North Counselling.

The main reason I’m running for re-election is the direction and success I have seen in 100 Mile over the last three years. I see relationships with the CRD, the Canim Lake Band, School District 27, the RCMP and others beyond my wildest dreams.

I also see a financial stability and growth

towards elimination of debt in the District. These lay the ground for economic growth.

As a municipality and region

we are in an enviable situation. Look at Sunrise Ford, West Fraser, the RCMP, and the Dairy Queen. They’re investing for the future of the South Cariboo.

I want to be a part of that investment. I want to help con-tinue the good direction District council has followed over the last three years. There is a phe-nomenal economic opportunity building, which could not have happened without the relation-ships and economic stability I mentioned. As I’ve said since I worked on the radio stations, “I love this place.”

I want to be a part of our future.

Henderson: ‘I want to be part of our future’

Distracted driving is starting to become the new drinking and driving in terms of causing fatal crashes in British Columbia.

Since the proliferation of cell phones, other mobile devices and automobile GPS systems, distracted driving has become a real concern on the province’s highways and byways.

We’ve always had distracted driving before – food consumption, makeup and turning around to separate the children and/or pets.

However, more and more motorists are using hand-held devices that seem to demand immediate attention even if it means they’re taking their eyes off the road.

The provincial government passed legislation to com-bat distracted driving, which went into effect on Jan. 1, 2010.

The province, ICBC and police have partnered in a number of blitzes over the years, but the problem con-tinues to grow.

Government statistics show how much distracted driving has ballooned over the years.

Some 51,000 tickets for distracted driving (of all types) – more for talking than texting and driving – were handed out last year.

In terms of fatal motor-vehicle incidents, an aver-age of 88 people a year have died in distracted-driving crashes between 2009 and 2013.

This is the second highest cause of fatal MVIs in the province.

Speed is the number 1 cause at 105 deaths annually, and alcohol and drug impairment fatalities at 86 is the third largest cause.

So, on Oct. 20, the provincial government decided to hit distracted drivers where it hurts the most – in their pocketbooks.

Distracted drivers will now be hit with three points along with the $167 fine.

If they collect more than three points, they will have to pay ICBC driver penalty point premiums, starting at $175 and the cost will escalate if they accrue more.

Two distracted driving tickets would cost $683, and more could lead to monitored or prohibited driving ac-tion by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles.

While some may call this a cash grab, we see it as a necessary step in putting the brakes on distracted-driving fatalities.

Obviously, monetary penalties helped reduce drink-ing-and-driving case loads, and in time, they will likely bring down distracted-driving ticketing.

Many of us have been guilty of distracted driving from time to time and some of us may even do it on a regular basis.

So, if we’re caught, it’s going to cost us.If we are driving and need to use our electronic

gadgets, we must pull over when we can do so safely – rather than taking our eyes off the road.

Keep eyes on the road

On Sept. 26, the federal government announced

that negotiations for the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement with the European Union (CETA) have been finalized.

A normal procedure for such a substantial change in a democratic society allows for a broad discussion, with debate and hearings about impacts on various groups of people and economic sectors before governments commit society to a new set of rules.

In contrast, the CETA negotiations have been kept completely secret.

The democratic deficit from the Conservative government’s roller coaster ride of signing trade agreements is further aggravated when the terms of the agreements are considered. These agreements, including CETA, lock in negative outcomes for Canadians far into the future.

Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz is boasting about the

possibility of new sales of beef and pork into Europe. Yet Canada has never fully utilized our existing tariff-free quotas for hormone-free beef exports into Europe.

Europe will not change its position on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and its borders will not open for meat that is produced with feed additives that for health reasons are banned in Europe.

Europe exports pork and its beef imports are mostly from South America where use of these hormones and additives is outlawed. Without federal support for beef facilities that meet EU requirements – unlikely given pharmaceutical influence in Ottawa – it is foolish to expect more beef and pork would move through the CETA-widened doorway.

In an exchange that gains little real new access for its farmers, Canada has committed to increased imports of European cheese, which is produced with heavily subsidized European milk. Consequently,

Canada’s domestic milk production and processing sectors will see a substantial reduction in their valuable cheese market.

The seed-related Intellectual Property Rights provisions in CETA are very concerning, as

Canada has committed to making it possible for corporations to ask courts to seize farm assets and freeze farmers’ bank accounts for alleged infringement of patent rights or Plant Breeders’ Rights – even before the case is heard in court.

CETA offers new powers to corporations through Investor State

Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanisms. If laws and government regulations result in reduced profits, ISDS empowers corporations to sue governments and be compensated.

Local governments, schools, hospitals and prisons that have adopted policies to buy food locally as a way to support community values are no longer allowed to do so. Procurement provisions in CETA force government institutions to accept competitive offers from European businesses for any contracts above fairly low thresholds.

There is, at best, no gain for Canadian farmers in CETA. From a societal prospective, the so-called “trade” agreement gives corporations a rope to tie the hands of our elected representatives and a sword to slash laws and regulations that get in the way of their profits.

GUEST SHOT

2007

“We acknowledge the financial support of the

Government of Canada through the Canadian Periodical

Fund of the Department of

Canadian Heritage.”


To the editor:As world leaders gathered at

the recent United Nations Climate Summit, one absence was especial-ly galling: Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Despite being in New York when the summit was held, Mr. Harper was one the very few world leaders invited who refused to attend. It underscored how little environ-mental stewardship factors into his government’s agenda.

His Conservative government

has failed to advance strong envi-ronmental policy – including transparent oversight, tougher penalties and a price on carbon pollution – and this inaction has had serious consequences for our environment, our international reputation and our economy.

Our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are growing, not slowing. Canada will miss its agreed-to 2020 emission reduction targets. Canada has earned an unfortunate interna-tional reputation for inaction and

obstruction on climate change.It’s all par for the course under

Mr. Harper, who manages to go to the Arctic every summer without ever uttering the phrase “climate change” – despite that being where its effects are most abundantly clear.

Since 2008, his government has been promising regulations for industrial emissions – and we’re still waiting. Even American President Barrack Obama has said Canada could be doing more, and that his concern impacts the deci-

sion on the Keystone XL pipeline.Climate change is a global prob-

lem that requires a global solution. We need determined leadership to make progress, but that can’t happen if our Prime Minister can’t even be bothered to show up.

Furthermore, if Canada does not demonstrate to the world that we, as a country, are serious about GHG emissions, we will find it harder and harder to export our resources to global markets. That is why Liberals are committed to

responsible resource development, while promoting clean energy and reducing carbon emissions.

As Prime Minister, Mr. Harper continues to get the big things wrong. After nearly a decade in power, he has failed to take any meaningful action on Canada’s GHG emissions. His legacy will leave our children with an environ-ment that is ever more threatened.

Canada’s international reputation plummeting

To the editor:I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the changes at the Watch

Lake Landfill, in particular, and the excellent service given by the women who staff this facility.

I am now 80 years old and have spent time in the Green Lake area since my youth. Twenty years ago, I moved to Green Lake so I have extensive memories of life in the part of the Cariboo. This included thousands of trips to what we called “the dump.”

Up until a few years ago it was just a huge hole in the ground where anything and everything was thrown in; that included waste that was totally inappropri-ate and an environmental hazard.

As well, the old dump was a magnet for wildlife, particularly bears, that became habituated to the garbage and taught their young to forage the same way.

Now, we have a substantially improved location staffed with courteous and competent people who greet you with a smile and are ready to assist with the use of the new recycling sheds or with any other query.

The Share Shed at Watch Lake is great! It is clean, tidy and organized – the best in the district.

Many thanks to the staff. I, for one, greatly appreciate their warm and friend-ly personalities that help make the use of this landfill a quick and easy task.

Elva McManusNorth Green Lake

Watch Lake landfill greatTo the editor:The South Cariboo Trappers

Local would like to remind pet owners and the general public that the 2014/15 trapping sea-son is now underway in British Columbia until May 2015.

Trappers are tenure hold-ers of each registered trapline,

and must show responsibility in where they set traps as well as follow the provincial regulations when doing so.

We ask that pet owners also be responsible and not let their pets run at large as per provincial regulations. Nobody, trapper nor pet owner, wants to see harm

come to someone’s family pet.It’s an offence to tamper with

lawfully set traps on Crown or private land. Please respect oth-ers property.

Editor:Re: Factory model fading for

schools (Guest Shot, page A9 Sept. 10).

I am a retired teacher with 37 years of experience.

The biggest mistake the education ministry in British Columbia has made over my years of teaching (and they have

made many), was putting the mentally challenged students into regular classrooms.

That robbed good students of the time required to help solve their problems as the teacher was too busy working with the group whose progress was nil.

That decision also immedi-

ately required teacher aides, some of whom did very little to help out in the classroom.

The ministry caused this problem and now they do not want to fund it. This is typical government mismanagement.

Teacher's opinion on education

Opinion

“Hands up.”That famous command

is attributed to Bill Miner, an American career criminal who is also credited with British Columbia’s first train robbery, at Silverdale on the Mission border in 1910.

A more genteel, and of course perfectly legal, trackside transfer of wealth is underway in the B.C. legislature. It’s called the Canadian Pacific Railway (Stone and Timber) Settlement Act, and it provides for taxpayers to hand over $19 million to CP Rail to settle a lawsuit over historic logging, rock and gravel rights given to B.C.’s pioneering railway builders.

Students of B.C. history will know that while Bill Miner got the headlines, it was the early coal, lumber and railway barons who really made out like bandits. And CP Rail inherited some of this by 1912 when it took over three early railways that had been granted vast tracts of provincial Crown land.

Deputy Premier Rich Coleman revealed the settlement in the legislature this

month. It seems that when CP Rail took over the B.C. Southern Railway Company, the Columbia and Kootenay Railway and Navigation Company and the Columbia and Western Railway Company, there were some clerical errors along the way.

“I am pleased that Canadian Pacific Railway and the province have recently reached an agreement regarding the disputed ownership and value of timber and stone rights on 145,000 hectares of Crown land and 68,000 hectares of private land in the Kootenay and Okanagan regions,” Coleman told the legislature.

“The province granted land to three railway companies between 1892 and 1908 to subsidize railway construction. These railway companies reserved timber and stone rights for their own use when they sold the land to third parties in the early 1900s. These reservations were not recognized in many subsequent land transactions, and many

of them were not registered in the current land title system.”

These discrepancies came to light in the early 2000s. They involve some 1,600 properties, so you can imagine the lawyer

fees that would be accumulated to sort through those in court. Coleman’s statement suggests that the government has conceded its records are in error, rather than those of the railways.

Given the Wild West ways of B.C.’s early settlement and railway development, it’s not surprising there were some loose ends. For a fascinating look at this period, I recommend Barrie Sanford’s book, Steel Rails and Iron Men, (Whitecap Books, 1990).

Sanford recounts the fateful decision of the CPR to turn north at Medicine Hat and push Canada’s defining railway through the Kicking Horse Pass, leaving the mineral-rich Kootenay region open to competitors for rail freight service.

A key figure of those days is James

Dunsmuir, who inherited his family coal fortune and served as B.C. premier from 1900 to 1902. He ended up owning a large part of Vancouver Island in exchange for building the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, which he sold to the CPR in 1905, the same year he locked out miners in his coal operations for their push to organize a union.

Dunsmuir’s hard line provided a boost for a rival, James Jerome Hill, who built the Great Northern Railway in the 1890s and later quit the CPR board in a bitter feud. Hill was happy to supply coal from Fernie.

Dunsmuir took a turn as B.C.’s eighth Lieutenant Governor, sold his coal business and retired to his estate, Hatley Castle, which is now part of Royal Roads University.

He is buried at Victoria’s Ross Bay Cemetery. As Halloween approaches, it’s easy to imagine a chuckle from his grave as the railway barons once again rake it in.

One last holdup on railway tracks


Do you think the new stiffer penalties will stop more drivers from using cell phones and texting?

Dale PaquetteClinton

I don’t use a cell phone myself, but the insurance costs from having points on a driver’s licence will knock some people down. That gets really expensive.

No, stupid people will always continue to do stupid things.

Space beneath bear statue gets $40,000 upgrade

KELOWNA - The ground beneath Kelowna's blue bruin is getting an upgrade pegged at a cost of $40,000.

The waterfront sculpture has been a draw since it was installed in 2010, and the cement pavers beneath are bearing the brunt of its popularity. It seems that in the years since its debut, the bear has served as a climbing apparatus for some of its visitors who are jumping to the ground beneath, explained city staff.

"We've had pavers break, and some are sinking... it's been an ongoing issue for two years" said Martin Johansen, building services manager for the City of Kelowna.

Although the bear itself has proven to be very sturdy, remaining remarkably undamaged, the base wasn't designed for the impact of, for example, a 200 pound man dropping from several feet above.

"These two-by-two foot pavers are supported on each corner and there's an eight-inch void beneath. So if you jump on the middle of it, it could break and crack and you could fall through," he said.

The cost for the project, which includes an upgrade to lighting that has also been compromised by visitors with a destructive bent, is somewhere in the area of $40,000.

No injuries after vehicle crashes into bankKAMLOOPS - No one was injured when a late-

model GMC Terrain was driven into the front of the Scotia Bank on Notre Dame Drive in Sahali at just past 10 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 17.

The driver of the vehicle, a Kamloops-area woman in her 70s, and her male passenger were shaken up by the ordeal and examined at the scene by para-medics. No customers in the bank were injured.

Damage to the building is extensive as the vehicle completely penetrated the structure, shattering the front glass window and taking out the supporting cement base wall.

The vehicle has been impounded pending a mechanical inspection. The incident is still under investigation and no charges have been laid.

Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department chief Bob Felker suffered serious injuries when a tree fell on him Oct. 18.

Deputy fire chief Ron Lister says he was not among the first responders, but the crew reported Felker was out in the bush at Upper Bradley Creek getting firewood at the time of the incident.

The emergency call came in at around noon, and Lister confirms Felker was then airlifted to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops due to the extent of his injuries.

The fire chief underwent surgery the following day (Oct. 19), and is now recovering in hospital, Lister adds.

BC Hydro warns against fraudulent calls


Everyone is wel-come to attend the Grand Opening of the South Cariboo Early Years Centre (EYC) at the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre on Oct. 31, starting at 11 a.m., says CFEC execu-tive director Lisa De Paoli.

MLA Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett will be cutting the ribbon to officially launch the EYC. This centre is one of 12 test sites in the province designed to be a one-stop place for families to receive support and services.

“I am pleased the South Cariboo is bene-fitting directly from the Provincial Families First Agenda of establishing Early Years Centres in communities through-out the province,” says Barnett.

“It is exciting for the South Cariboo to be at the leading edge of early

childhood development and supporting fami-lies.”

In the South Cariboo, the EYC will have both a perma-nent and virtual locations. The p e r m a n e n t location will be at the CFEC at 1-486 Birch Ave.

“The Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre is proud to be host-

ing the South Cariboo Early Years Centre,” says

CFEC board chair Diane Cober.

“We are committed to ensuring all children and parents in the South Cariboo have access to the services

and resources that they need to be healthy and successful.”

The virtual loca-

tions will be monthly playgroups in commu-nities within the South Cariboo, including Bridge Lake, Lac la Hache, 108 Mile Ranch, Forest Grove and Lone Butte.

“We welcome the community to join us on Oct. 31 at 11 a.m. to celebrate this mile-stone in early childhood development and sup-port for families in the South Cariboo,” says

Drivers are advised to watch out for moose, deer, and other animals on local roads, par-ticularly Highway 97 from 100 Mile House to Quesnel, which has been identified as hav-ing a very high number of deer vehicle colli-sions.

There can be up to two or three wildlife collisions every day in October and November.

“Although a colli-sion with wildlife can happen at any place and at any time, on Cariboo roads, there is a sharp spike in wild-life-vehicle collisions that begins in October,” says Barb Waters, BC Conservation Foundation regional manager.

“The critical times to watch for wildlife on the roads are between 6 and

8 a.m. and from 5 to 8 p.m.”

Community spe-cific information from ICBC animal crash data shows that in the Cariboo region, there are more than 900 ani-mal collisions every year. Annually in north-ern British Columbia, about three people are killed and 140 people are injured in wildlife collisions.

The Wildlife Collision Prevention Program offers the fol-lowing hints for the highway.

• Both drivers and passengers must active-ly watch for wildlife on the road and roadside area.

• People think of the road as a dangerous place, but in fact, ani-mals are often attracted to the road and roadside

area. Drive expecting to see wildlife.

• During the rutting season animals are fre-quently on the move, and vehicles might be the last thing on their minds.

• Animals don’t think or perceive danger the same way that humans do. They may not rec-ognize a vehicle as dangerous or a horn as a warning, or even if

they do, they may not react safely.

• Animals are unpredictable in their behaviour and may bolt in front of a vehicle or cross and then immedi-ately re-cross the road.

• Deer are often seen in groups, so if there is one animal there are usually more. The deer you are watching may not be the one that poses the threat; it may be the second or third deer following behind that causes the problem.

Peace River South MLA Mike Bernier spoke at a recent South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce luncheon in 100 Mile House about business oppor-tunities surrounding British Columbia’s expanding liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry.

He encouraged local businesses interested in gaining some industry work to pre-register now.

“Just because you are a small company, don’t think there is not opportunity here.”

There are already spin-off jobs coming from the current surge in northern resource industry growth, he said.

“If this goes through, we will have 100,000 job openings. Well, we don’t have 100,000 peo-ple looking for work [in Northern B.C.].”

He added some northern economies are already booming with

construction and prepa-ration for the expanded LNG industry.

The resident of Dawson Creek (where one of three proposed LNG plants would be built) said he has met people who fly to the North for two-week work rotations.

“In 100 Mile House, if you have people going up north to work, that’s a great situa-tion. Because, they are coming back, they are buying trucks ... their kids are going to school here.”

While the seminar was geared toward business opportuni-ties, Barbara Hooper, Maddi Newman and Patricia Spencer asked Bernier questions about their environmental concerns related to the LNG fracking process.

One of the ques-tions was if the fracking might cause a shortage in B.C.’s fresh and sur-face water, in the midst of climate change, and another asked about potential water contam-ination.

“In 2013, the amount of water used in all of B.C. for fracking in the natural gas indus-try was equivalent to one-and-a-half days of flushing toilets in the Lower Mainland,” Bernier responded.

He added traditional gas extraction involves a different, cold-water process – not the deep, shale gas extrac-

tion used for LNG performed three kilo-metres under the ground.

“We’ve never had, in the history of Canada, water contaminated because of fracking.”

LNG business potential promoted


By Greg SabatinoAs excitement

mounts for the upcom-ing ski season, work is underway at Mt. Timothy Ski Area in preparation.

Debbie Dengel, Mt. Timothy Ski Society (MTSS) president, says throughout the month of October the soci-ety has been, and will continue to be, holding work bees on Saturdays beginning at 9 a.m.

“We’re welcoming any help. The target this Saturday is firewood. If you’ve got a wood split-ter or an axe just come

on up and join us.”Last Saturday,

Williams Lake residents Ed Kozuki and his daughter, Janice, attended and washed all the logs on the inside of the lodge. Directors also participat-ed, Dengel said, adding some wood on the deck was replaced and brush-ing crews are working on the hill.

“We’re just trying to get the enthusiasm roll-ing for the season.”

Following the Timberland Alpine Ski Club Ski Swap on Nov. 1, which is open from 2 to 5 p.m. in the Gibraltar Room in Williams Lake, the MTSS will host its annual general meeting at 7 p.m.

“Ski season is coming and we’re starting to get excited,” Dengel says.

“We always have room for volunteers

and the AGM is open to the public. That same night we’ll have our elec-tion of officers, so that could open up some doors for a few people.”

Q u e s t i o n s and concerns from the pub-

lic are welcome at the meeting, along with an

opportunity to meet management and mem-bers of the board of directors.

For more infor-mation, contact administration man-ager Alisha Piccolo or general manager Adam Piccolo at 250-396-4095.

Greg Sabatino is the Williams Lake sports editor.

Every once in a while we have a resident who takes the time to write about the changes in their lives.

Brad Arthurs gradu-ated from the Psalm 23 Transition Society and is now an employee of Psalm 23 and assisting others to change their lives.

Brad’s letterThis is to the people in

the Cariboo and beyond.I didn’t know how to

thank the community and people who have helped me change my life. I am a recovering addict and without the help of so many people I would not have become a productive member of society.

You probably don’t know how many peo-ple you help when you donate something whether it is your time, money or just to say a friendly “Hi.”

I lost both my parents

before I was a teenag-er. I’ve lived in group homes, shelters, on the streets and in a tent along a river bank for about a year in Alberta.

I came to B.C. from Calgary in August 2013 for help with my addic-tion. I had nothing – no clothes (except for what I was wearing), no hope, no money and a broken jaw.

My sister, Rhoda, asked me if I wanted help with my addiction. I said yes. She told me about a program at Psalm 23, which I agreed to try as I had nothing to lose.

Rhoda bought me a bus ticket to Psalm. I was given some food for my trip, as well as some cigarettes.

When I arrived, my sister bought me clothes and toiletries. God was already providing for me. I didn’t know where Psalm 23 was or what to expect; I was alone and scared.

When I arrived at Psalm, I first had to do an intake, which was very professionally done. After the intake, I found Psalm to be more like a home.

I’ve been here a year and plan to stay on as a support staff. Psalm has a vision to turn 59 Mile into “The Village of Hope” with the help of the community and a lot of help from God. I wish to be here to see “The Village of Hope” come true.

I would to thank Marvin and Shelly, Rick and Psalm 23, Mike, Larry, Dave and Vickki, Pastor Vicky, Pastor Dennis, Pastor Rick,

Doug, Lawrence, CCLF and the New Wine Deliverance Church.

Forever thankfulBrad Arthurs

Reg Berrington is a volunteer with the Psalm 23 Transition Society and this is part 3 of an ongoing series on Psalm 23.

Don’t let your operating costs leave you in the cold this winter. As a small business, you probably want to focus on making money. FortisBC can help reduce your operating costs with no-cost and low-cost energy saving tips to help lower your monthly natural gas bill and reduce your environmental footprint. If you’re in the position to upgrade space and water heating systems or commercial cooking equipment, FortisBC also offers rebates on high-effi ciency models.

Small actions can add up to savings Think about cutting costs where you won’t notice it. If your business uses natural gas for heating or cooking, here are some easy tips from FortisBC to help you save energy and money.

Save hot water

■ Fix leaky taps and install water-saving aerators on kitchen and bathroom faucets.

■ If running a commercial kitchen consider installing a low-fl ow spray valve to pre-rinse dishes. These devices use approximately 50 per cent less water than standard types.

■ If you can access your hot water pipes, wrap them with foam or rubber pipe insulation to prevent heat loss.

Save heat

■ Install a programmable thermostat and program it to 20 °C when at work and no more than 17 °C when no one is there.

■ Your space could stay warm for up to an hour before the heating system needs to kick in again, so why not program your thermostat to turn down the heat an hour before you close shop.

■ If you operate a street front business, don’t leave the door open on cold days as it’ll push all your heated air out the door.

Upgrading can save you two waysWhen it’s time to upgrade, check out FortisBC’s rebates for high-effi ciency boilers, water heaters and cooking equipment. In addition to the rebate, you’ll experience ongoing savings on your natural gas bill with more effi cient appliances installed. If you’re not sure what upgrade is right for your business, consider a free consultation from a business energy advisor. It’s all part of how FortisBC is helping businesses save energy and money.

(NC) – The Canada Small Business Financing Program makes it easier for entrepreneurs to obtain loans from financial institutions because the government shares the risk with the lenders.

If you’re a for-prof-it small business, or a start-up operating in Canada, and if you have gross annual revenues of $5 million or less, you may be eligible.

Entrepreneurs may qualify for loans to a maximum of $500,000 to establish a start-up, or to expand or improve their small business.

The program is avail-able for the purchase or improvement of equipment, includ-ing business vehicles, and for renovations to leased property by a tenant. Loans for that purpose are capped at $350,000.

Loans of up to $500,000, however, are available for the pur-chase or improvement of commercial proper-ties.

To apply, you must present your business

proposal directly to a chartered bank, or cred-it union. Your financial institution is respon-sible for approving the loan.

To find a participating commercial lender near

you, consult the map of financial institutions on the Industry Canada website at www.ic.gc.ca/csbfp, or call toll-free 1-866-959-1699.

In celebra-tion of Small Business Week

– Oct. 19-25 – taking place across Canada, Community Futures is offering advice from experts across its 34 local offices throughout rural British Columbia.

As a key business development orga-nization within B.C. that supports entre-preneurs at all stages of their development, Community Futures’ has a track record of clients who have grown faster and lasted lon-

ger when compared to other traditional financ-ing options.

Community Futures Cariboo Chilcotin (CFCC) has been sup-porting businesses in the South Cariboo for almost three decades, says CFCC general manager Karen Eden.

“We are proud to be the Cariboo’s Small Business Resource Center offering ser-vices from start-up mentoring to succes-sion planning, and all of the stages in-between. We are proud to serve

entrepreneurs in the 100 Mile House area who are contributing to their local economy, making it a great place to live and work.”

Community Futures tips • The best busi-

ness plan remains flexible with measur-able and realistic goals – one thing constant is change.

Operating a business can lead to a lot of sur-prises, so along with a solid Plan A, have a well thought out Plan B. Many entrepreneurs know what success looks like for them; they’re just unsure of how to achieve it.

We help our clients focus on realistic reve-nue projections, expense management, and where they want their busi-ness to be one, two and

three years later. This is imperative so busi-ness owners are making the right decisions and investments early on to reach their goals.

• Keep your friends close and your competi-tion closer – studying your competition is one of the best ways to learn how you can make your business better.

It’s an excellent way to learn from what they’re

doing right, while avoiding what they might be doing wrong. Rest assured that your customers are keeping a close eye on them too.

• Treat your employees like they’re your custom-ers – your employees are your internal customers; be open to hearing their feedback.

Employees are stakeholders in your business, too! Employee engagement adds to workplace culture.

Hire the right fit for your organization’s cul-ture; you can teach skills,

but you can’t teach atti-tude. Communication is critical; having team meetings and a writ-ten policy manual can be helpful; you want to make sure your employ-ees understand what is expected of them and what you want in return. Ongoing train-ing is often overlooked by small businesses. How your employees deal with situations, questions and special requests are things you need to make sure they understand before they get in front of clients.

Successful small business within reachCommunity Futures offers invaluable advice to small business owners and owners-to-be

South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce president Carl Gimse happily received a Small Business Week proclamation from Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett who noted small businesses are the backbone of rural British Columbia.

MT. TIMOTHY SKI SOCIETYHusband and wife duo, Adam Piccolo (General Manager) and Alisha Piccolo (Administration Manager) have been at the helm of Mt. Timothy Ski Area for the past 4 years. Adam, a resident of the area for 21 years, started working at Mt. Timothy as a lift operator in 1998. His love and passion for Mt. Timothy is what provided him the opportunity to be in his current position. Alisha, born and raised in the area, followed her husband’s passion, and his been beside him through this challenging yet amazing experience every step of the way. Started by a group of hard working-volunteers, government grants and fundraising Mt. Timothy

opened in 1988. From the beginning, Mt.Timothy has been a non-pro� t society run ski hill - one of only a few left in Western Canada. You know the saying “it takes a whole community to raise a child”? I believe that it takes a whole community to raise a Ski Hill. If it weren’t for our volunteers, two supporting towns and all the communities in between, Mt. Timothy would have been extinct years ago. We are in no way comparable to Whistler but we are a small hill with a big personality.Offering 35 runs, rated from green to double black diamonds, Mt.Timothy offers terrain for everyone’s abilities. With full facilities, offering retail, rental

equipment and lessons for all ages, this is a great way to spend your winter. Situated in a 4000 square foot log day lodge is also the Red Rock Bistro, providing homemade soups, gourmet burgers, daily specials and healthy alternatives. We are gearing up for another amazing year, and our set day to open is December 13th. Seasons passes are on sale now and applications are available at the 100 Mile Outlaw Urban Clothing Company, the Williams Lake Honda KTM as well as online at www.skitimothy.com.We cannot wait to see you all up here!! – Alisha

Well here we are again…! Summer is all gone, Fall is here and it is time to either go into the winter doldrums or � nish the year off strong!! I have had a crazy time so far this year and am excited about the season that is now on us. Some would ask why the excitement? My response might be something like, “Hey, if we are not going forward then we must be going backwards” or it might sound something like this, “My good friend, if you want something that you have never had before then you had better do something that you have never done before.As a citizen and business owner in 100 Mile House and the South Cariboo, I am ready to continue on the road I started on 3 years ago. That road is one of progress, one of positive outlook, one of spending money to make money, one of giving to the community around me to help make it the BEST CHOICE IN BC TO LIVE!!In some respects, this year has been incredibly dif� cult

and one to forget!!! In other repsects it is full of excitement that we have not seen in some time and certainly not since I have been here.Sunrise Ford is just completing its huge renovation and expansion which is obviously near and dear to me and my vision. A new RCMP detachment is being constructed right across the highway from Ford and right next door to Regency Chrysler which is undergoing growth and a large facelift. Andres Electronics is making moves towards a full new building. WOW sounds like a lot and we havent even left 99 Mile Hill!Dairy Queen is undergoing its renovation and will reopen, there is talk of a much needed truck stop just up the way at the Forest Grove/Canim turn off. A very positive (in my opinion) survey was done regarding the new Aquatic Facility being built in 100 Mile and with some hard work, � exibility and good leadership this should become a reality in our immediate lifetime.

Have we had some setbacks? Surely we have but if we maintain the attitude that we are “Management Driven” rather then “market driven”, we will succeed. You manage your own attitude, your own resources, your own goals and our community will drive forward.Finally, the thing that makes this such a great year is YOU!! I would personally like to thank all those individuals who have helped to make Sunrise Ford the positive and pro� table business and employer that it is in the South Cariboo. Without our customers and without an engaged staff who believe in what we are trying to accomplish, we are mere motar and bricks stacked up and already on its way to deterioration.Growth starts from within….don’t have mere dreams….have goals with a deadline and action plan to achieve. Cheers and God Bless, Leon Chretien, Vice Chair SCCC and Owner of Sunrise Ford.

WHIMSEY GIFTS – CELEBRATING 11 YEARS OF BUSINESSKim Taylor loves living and doing business in 100 Mile House. She appreciates the familiarity that comes with small town living and being able to develop relationships with people that goes beyond the front doors of her store. The goal behind Whimsey Gifts is to provide a place to purchase gifts and houseware items that are unique, and to have a little something for everyone.

Kim’s family has a long history of retail business in 100 Mile House. Her grandfather opened Lester Jewellers on Birch Ave in the mid 1960s. The store stayed in the family when he sold it to Kim’s mother, Del Fisher, and her business partner, Sharon McMullan and reopened the store as Shadel Jewellers in the newly built Cariboo Mall.Kim is an active member of our community. She has been a member of the 100 Mile Lions Club since 2006,

and as their treasurer since 2008. Kim also enjoys organizing the co-ed adult volleyball. Kim welcomes anyone to come and see her regarding information for the 100 Mile Lions Club or the adult volleyball.Kim has been loving this community for 41 years, and is looking forward to many more years as a retailer and a resident.

IS YOUR BUSINESS “AGE-FRIENDLY”? As part of the “Age-Friendly” Community Initiative,

coordinator Lea Smir� tt is inviting businesses in 100 Mile House and surrounding area to think about how making small “Age-friendly” changes can help grow your business. With our aging population and the tendency for people to shop out of town, small business owners may wish to ask themselves: “Is my business age-friendly?” “Is there some little extra, a product or a service, that I could offer to seniors?” Smir� tt says “Age-Friendly businesses will appeal to all types of customers. Since word gets around, especially in a small town, that message is really good for your small business. And, don’t forget that the post-war baby boomers began to turn 65 or older in 2011. Age demographics are changing rapidly.” What have other businesses in the province done

to apply an “age-friendly” lens to their operation? According to the Age-Friendly Business site you might

consider: • Uncluttered aisles • Places for people to sit • Pricing and advertising info in clear printing • Volunteer shopping and delivery programs • Attention to in-store music • Accessible washrooms • Magnifying glasses to help people read the small print • Warm, welcoming staff • Staff that speak clearly • Staff trained to move to a private area to discuss people’s personal business • Staff trained on who to contact if they become

aware of someone needing additional careSmir� tt has been speaking with Lianne Heales and

Shelly Morton with the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce about surveying local businesses regarding ideas that make businesses more attractive to seniors

or others such as people with injuries; people with sight, hearing or mobility issues; or perhaps parents with children in strollers. Watch for the survey so you can participate. Do you provide some information or service that is

unique for seniors? Have you considered a senior’s discount on a special day? (OAP cheques come out three business days before month end). Survey results will be shared with seniors and others who are looking for increased comfort and accessibility when making shopping choices.Building loyalty with your customers through effective

“age-friendly” service encourages people to direct their purchasing power your way. For further ideas check out the BC Government Age-Friendly web site and search for Creating an Age-Friendly Business in BC or contact Lea Smir� tt at 250 395 5642 or Shelly Morton at 250 395 6124.

Chair’s ReportThe South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce is a local

member organization of businesses and community groups whose goal is to make the South Cariboo a better place to live and work.

South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce set goals in May to better serve the outlying areas of the South Cariboo and build a better relationship between businesses and our First Nations Community. In June the Directors were invited to attend a meeting with the Canim Lake Band Council. We were able to discuss opportunities to partner

moving forward and we will continue to work to strengthen the collaboration.

We offer numerous value-added programs that serve both small and large business. From networking events, to advertising and sponsorship opportunities, membership bene� t packages to professional development- the Chamber is the leading business organization in the South Cariboo. We have many different areas through which our members can get involved whether through volunteering for an event or task force or through one of our Chamber

Committees. The work of volunteers brings you events like Hot July Nights and The Santa Clause Parade.

Memberships will be coming due in December. If you want to have a say in the direction of the Chamber

please join. Memberships can be found on the website at www.southcariboochamber.org.

Good luck to Lianne Heales on her new endeavors as she is leaving the position of Executive Director. Welcome to Shelly Morton as the new Executive Director of the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce.

2014small business BIG impact

According to the lat-est monthly Business Barometer survey results

from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), British Columbia’s small business confidence index rebounded slight-ly in September, after dropping in August to its lowest point in almost a year.

Entrepreneurs in B.C. remain the third most optimistic in the country, behind Alberta and Newfoundland.

To view the full reports visit http://cfib.ca/barometer.

“It’s a relief to see B.C.’s small business optimism rebound a bit in September, partly making up for the settling in the index we had seen through the summer,” says CFIB provincial director, Richard Truscott.

There were some other positive signs for B.C. in the September Business Barometer results. In terms of hiring plans, 24 per cent of business owners say they are plan-ning to add full-time staff in the

next three months, up three points from August. Only five per cent expect their workforce to shrink, down two points over the month before.

Entrepreneurs’ view of the gen-

eral state of business in B.C. also improved, with 48 per cent of those surveyed describing the general state of their business as “good” – up three points over August, and seven points since July. Only eight

per cent characterize it as “bad – down two points from last month.

The shortage of skilled labour continued to be the biggest chal-lenge for small business in B.C., with 37 per cent of business owners

saying it was limiting their sales or production growth – the same level as the past two months. Thirty-six per cent identified insufficient domestic demand as a constraint, up six points from August.

Owner’s confidence on upswing

Minister of State for Tourism and Small Business Naomi Yamamoto and Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training Shirley Bond are proud of the B.C. Liberal government’s role in the kick-off of Small Business Month in British Columbia

Yamamoto says small businesses are the heart and soul of our communities.

“They support families and keep local economies strong. The owners include parents, coaches and volunteers who make a difference every day.

October is Small Business Month and it is our chance to recognize the tremendous contribu-tions that small businesses make. Across B.C., 98 per cent of businesses are small businesses

and more than a million British Columbians work for them.

“It takes courage, energy and dedica-tion to run a small business. I know the challenges from running my own busi-ness for 21 years and from my time with the B.C. Chamber of Commerce and the North Vancouver Chamber.

“That’s why, as Minister of State, I am working hard to make B.C. the most small-business friendly jurisdiction in Canada. It’s why we’re continuing to cut red tape and boost government spend-

ing to small business by 20 per cent.“It’s also why government has already cut the

small business corporate income tax rate by 44 per cent, and is committed to cutting it a fur-

ther 40 per cent.”Bond says small business continues to be a

key driver of job creation and economic growth, generating 31 per cent of the province’s gross domestic product and accounting for 86 per cent of all provincial exporters.

“Small businesses represent the backbone of B.C. communities. From retail stores to com-puter programmers and even the family farm, small businesses impact each and every sector in the BC Jobs Plan.

“This month, join me in thanking small businesses in your community. Small business owners help build strong local economies, and a strong B.C. economy ensures that communities throughout this province remain vibrant.”

Celebrate Small Business Month

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations advises that a series of prescribed burns is planned in sev-eral areas in the Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) until Nov. 15, weather condi-tions permitting.

These con-trolled burns are managed under the Range Branch’s Ecosystem Restoration

Program and will be conducted with the assistance of the Wildfire Management Branch and CFC per-sonnel.

The following areas will be treated to help restore native grassland ecosystems:

• Bald Mountain (south of Riske Creek) – about 120 hectares

• Deer Creek (Alexis

Creek area) – about 100 ha

• Crow’s Bar (Fraser River area, south of Dog Creek and west of 100 Mile House) – about 1,750 ha

H i s t o r i c a l l y , grasslands in the C a r i b o o - C h i l c o t i n were renewed through frequent, low-intensity ground fires. These fires prevented tree encroachment, rejuve-nated understory plants and helped maintain more open grasslands and forests with large trees.

The reintroduction of managed, low-intensity

ground fires to these grasslands is intended to restore and maintain the traditional grass-land plant communities that are native to these areas.

These fires are part of an ongoing ecosystem

restoration program administered by the pro-vincial government in consultation with First Nations, local ranchers, the British Columbia Wildlife Federation and the Cariboo-Chilcotin Conservation Society.


The grand reopening celebration showcas-ing the fully renovated Watch Lake Community Hall on Sept. 20 marked four years of hard work by two local societies and significant support from across the com-munity at large.

The hall is man-aged jointly by the

Watch Lake and District Women’s Institute (WLDWI)

and Watch Lake-Green Lake Community Association mem-

bers who collaborated on fundraising for the renovations, as well as

hosting the celebration.WLDWI treasurer

Lynda Krupp says 50 people showed up for the celebration. They enjoyed a great lun-cheon organized by president Helen Eagle and Karin Forbes.

Mark Bulman pre-sented some new plaques to adorn the hall acknowledging the contributions made by several organizations and individuals that gave their time, mate-rials and/or financial support to the new hall.

One of the plaque recipients, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, also spoke briefly.

A special recogni-tion went to the family

of Sadie Eden, founder of the hall, including her granddaughter, Enid (Dimps) Horn. Horn and her family had previously passed along donations to the hall in lieu of flowers when Dimps’ aunt, Enid (Minnie) Sheepbauer, passed away.

Al Karman was also thanked for similar sup-port after the passing of his wife, a long-time

WLDWI member, Bobbé Karman.

Krupp says these donations made up much of the support that allowed for the 57- by 14-foot addition featuring an expanded kitchen and indoor washrooms.

Other updates show-cased at the event included the new envi-ronmentally friendly heating systems.

ObituariesHOWARD

PeterGone from our sight, forever in our hearts

Loving and dearly loved husband, father, grandfather, brother, father-in-law, brother-in-law, son-in-law, cousin, uncle and friend, Peter’s life journey ended—as it

began 72 years ago—in Kamloops. He is remembered and missed by his wife Margaret; his daughter Zoë; his son Greg, daughter-in-law Vanessa and grandchildren Mike, Sammy and Tayden; his sisters Wendy (his twin) and Jacqua and their families; Greg and Zoë’s mother Di; Margaret’s mother Lorna and sisters Kathy and Vicki and their families; and many friends.

The son of Kamloops teachers Des & Ruby Howard, Peter enjoyed lifelong friendships with his KHS classmates. A highlight of his younger years was a six-month European adventure with his good friend Harold. After graduating from Calgary Tech, Peter worked at Atomic Energy Canada in Ontario before returning to BC to begin a Systems Programming career at SFU. He and his good friend Dave developed a passion for sailing, and Peter married and welcomed Greg and Zoë into his life in Deep Cove. Summer fun meant camping and later, month-long European cycling holidays.

After Peter retired he and Marg moved to 100 Mile House where we spent many happy years in our log home, wandering in the bush with Nelson, joyfully singing with Eclectica community choir, participating in musical theatre productions and RV adventuring. Since returning to Kamloops, we have enjoyed travelling, reconnecting with Ken and other KHS friends, and making new friends in our Sun Rivers community.

Peter will be fondly remembered for his friendly ways, his ready laugh, his quirky humour, and for sharing his love of photography with Greg, John, Steve and many others.

Please gather with us to honour and remember Peter on Saturday, November 1st at the Hal Rogers Centre, 2025 Summit Drive in Kamloops between 2 and 5 pm, with a program beginning about 3 pm. If you would like to speak about Peter, there will be an open mike. If you won’t be able to attend but would like to share your memories of Peter, please email them to [email protected].

Grateful thanks to our extended family and friends who have supported and comforted us during Peter’s cancer journey. In recognition of the care and kindness Peter received, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society’s Southern Interior Rotary Lodge (2251 Abbott Street, Kelowna BC V1Y 1E2) or Kamloops Hospice Association (c/o Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home,72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9) would be welcome.

Our lives have been blessed by Peter’s loving presence and we will treasure his memory always.

The memory of a good personis a blessing.

Bestselling author Chris Czajkowski is on tour in British Columbia and will be presenting in 100 Mile House on Oct. 28-29.

Her new book, And the River Still Sings: A Wilderness Dweller’s Journey, has been on the British Columbia Bestseller list since its release last month

Many readers may be familiar with Czajkowski’s story, having followed her since the publication of her first book, Cabin at Singing River, in 1991.

River Still Sings goes beyond the tales of wil-derness living, exploring both the experiences that led her to a solitary lifestyle and her transi-tion to a life closer to the grid, including stories of her studies in dairy farming and travels to Uganda to teach at a farm school.

Czajkowski will present a reading and slide-show at the 100 Mile House Branch Library on Oct. 28, starting 6:30 p.m. She will also be at Nuthatch Books signing copies of the new book on Oct. 29, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

At least these dogs are going to Heaven.

Reverends Keith and Kris Dobyns blessed

a few local animals at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church on Oct. 4, as similar ceremonies took place all over the world in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi, the

Patron Saint of Animals who lived more than 800 years ago.

The “Blessing of the Animals” ceremony was a first for Keith and Kris in 100 Mile House, although the pair has performed it several times at differ-ent churches in the past.

“It’s a way for us to say animals are not sub-servient, they are our partners, we’re in this together,” Keith says of the ceremony.

“When we bless animals we’re saying they’re created to cel-ebrate life in the same way we are.”

The couple, having in the past blessed stuffed animals, a ball of sour-dough bread and an alligator, weren’t sure what to expect in 100 Mile House. However, the 20-minute ceremo-ny, which started with singing and prayers with the half dozen peo-ple in attendance, didn’t see any unusual surpris-es, but only three rather tame dogs, including the Dobyns’ small black one named “Luke.”

“So often our animals are the victims of our actions,” adds Keith. “It’s a way of raising our regard for animals.”

Local dogs blessed

Reverend Keith Dobyns blessed three dogs, includ-ing Emma, front, and Luke, at a ceremony at St. Peter’s Anglican Church in 100 Mile House recently.

The 100 Mile House Wranglers and Chase Heat met for the first time in games that matter this season fol-lowing their Round 1 playoff match-up back in March.

While the Wranglers eliminated Chase in five games back then, the Heat were too hot to handle this time around, and handed the Wranglers two losses last weekend – 3-2 in 100 Mile on Oct. 19 and 3-2 in Quesnel on Oct. 18.

On Oct. 17, the Wranglers ripped the Nelson Leafs in 100 Mile House 7-3.

Defenceman Nick Headrick, back from a short stint with the Prince George Spruce Kings of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL), took home star of the game honours for 100 Mile on Oct. 19.

Chase (5-6-1-2) out-

shot 100 Mile 37-26 in that game and won it in overtime.

In Quesnel, the game was tied 2-2 midway through the final frame before Chase notched a winner. Brett Harris took star of the game for the Wranglers.

Despite dropping its last two games against a division team, the Wranglers started the weekend right, notch-ing seven goals in front of a big home crowd on Oct. 17. And while the Wranglers were outshot 35-19, goalie Kristian Stead also returned from the BCHL in fine form, stopping 32 pucks on route to a star of the game award in the win over Nelson (9-3-2-1).

The Wranglers travel to Sicamous (8-7) on Oct. 24, before host-ing the Spokane Braves (6-5-0-3) on Oct. 25 and meeting the Storm in Kamloops (10-4-0-1) on Oct. 26.

Chase too hot to handle


The game is a whole new one for Jaidan Ward.

The former 100 Mile House Wranglers captain – the team's first one ever during its inaugural run last season – is still a common sight at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre. But he's not down on the ice anymore; he's up in the stands, and he traded his helmet for a headset.

As the newest addition to the Wranglers' webcast team, the 21-year-old Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) veteran brings a ton of unique and insight-ful commentary that really can't be gleaned from anywhere else.

He's a valuable asset to his new team – working beside Josh Hall on play-by-play and Nathan Foote behind the camera – and he's having a lot of fun.

“It's a whole different perspective,” Ward says. “You get to see so much more of how the game actually works when you're trying to explain it to other people.”

The webcast crew is responsible for capturing the action on the ice and transmitting it to viewers at home.

Hall called games for the Wranglers

during their inaugural run last sea-son. He says that was special because they were part of the birth of the organization. This year, he adds, they're trying to set a precedent for the future. He says Ward is a great addition up in the booth.

“Jaidan knows his stuff, ” Hall

notes. “He has very good insight in terms of analyzing the play, set pieces and formations. It's a benefit also because he knows some of the players on the team and how they like to play. He knows what's going on.”

As local fans will attest, the Junior B hockey club is a huge draw in

100 Mile House. The community is behind the team 100 per cent and the fanfare between periods and dur-ing games is likely second to none in the KIJHL. A Wranglers home game is an event as much as it is a contest between two hockey teams. That's part of what makes the web-cast booth a fun place to be. The fans in the crowd make their job enjoy-able, explains Hall, who spends a lot of time chatting with them before games.

“It's nice to get encouragement from the fans,” he adds. “Each of those three jobs [doing the webcast] has its more difficult parts. But all three of us really care. That's why we're up there. We're volunteering because we love it. It's really actually a lot of fun.”

Eventually Ward wants to help the Wranglers behind the bench and in the dressing room. For now, joining the webcast is the best way to stay connected to the organization.

He was flying solo when 100 Mile hosted the Nelson Leafs and Hall was off sick on Oct. 17. It's a tough job, he says, and he wishes he was still out there on the ice playing with the guys.

“But I'm having a good time,” he adds. “And I think we're doing a pretty good job so far.”

With hunting season underway, people need to understand they are responsible for knowing exactly where they are before they discharge a firearm, and whether they are legally allowed to hunt or shoot there.

100 Mile House con-servation officer (CO) James Zucchelli says a recent conviction for an October 2013 incident where someone fired a gun on private land, about 100 metres from houses and without permission, prompts him to issue a reminder.

That incident involved a man who shot a deer with a "high-powered firearm" at a private, highways gravel pit in 108 Mile Ranch near some homes, he explains.

Zucchelli notes that before anyone heads out hunting, they need to go through the regula-tions and plan ahead to ensure they have the authority to be there and hunt on the land.

"You need permission to be hunting on private property, and it's up to the person who is doing the hunting to know what is private property and what is not.

"The onus is on you to prove that it is Crown land, not for somebody to prove that it is pri-vate."

There is no hunting or discharge of firearms within 100 metres of a residence, regardless if it is crossbow or a fire-arm, unless you are in the "protection of your property," the CO says.

He adds any applica-ble species licence (tag)

must be completely and immediately cancelled upon killing a game ani-mal, and prior to handling dead wildlife – and you can be in big trouble if you don't do this.

"You can't have a deer and decide you are going to take that home and then cancel your licence when the conservation officer shows up. That doesn't work out very well for people."

Zucchelli notes there are also regulations that apply to actions, such

as shooting an animal while defending your horse or cow from a bear or cougar attack.

If you are in "protection of your own property" on your own land

– even if you have a hunting licence and permit for the animal – the law requires you to report that kill to the COs, he adds.

However, tags only apply to hunting, so you cannot kill an animal to protect your property, put a tag on it and claim you bagged it while hunting.

Hunting is a regulat-ed recreational activity, he explains.

"Discharge of fire-arms in protection of public safety or the safe-ty of your property is not a recreational activ-ity."

Zucchelli notes the person charged in the

recent gravel pit inci-dent disputed the fines, but was subsequently convicted, both under the trespass act and for unlawful possession of dead wildlife.

"He was not lawfully allowed to be in pos-session of that deer because it was unlaw-fully harvested."

To report the killing of wildlife outside of legal hunting activities, by yourself or someone else, call the RAPP line toll-free at 1-877-952-7277.

From 80 people to 200, we have two halls to choose from!

The local figure skat-ing club offers a lot more than just ice danc-ing.

While its StarSkate program sees a num-ber of talented figure skaters every year, the 100 Mile House Figure Skating Club also has weekly PreCanSkate and CanSkate classes, and a new CanPowerSkate class, for children and youth helping them learn the basics – for recreational skating or if their sport is hockey, ringette or figure skating. The new CanPowerSkate program is designed for hockey players and teaches them bal-ance, power, agility and endurance.

100 Mile House Wranglers players can attest to that. The local Junior B hockey team has players lacing up and stepping onto the ice every week helping the youngsters.

Wranglers goalie Quinn Ferris, a 17-year-old from Prince George, makes it pretty clear you need to be a good skater at any position – even between the pipes.

“You have to learn it early and create good habits when you're younger,” he explains. “There's an old quote some junior coaches used to say: 'If you can skate we can teach you how to play hockey.' Everything is from the ice up. If you have strong skating you can pretty much learn how to do everything else.”

Ferris is one of a num-ber of rookies out on the ice at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre regularly, which is something the young skaters in the club really seem to enjoy. Ferris says he remembers being in the same position when he

was younger and what it was like to have an older person to look up to.

“You want to set a good example for the little kids. Hopefully one day they can have as much fun as we do.”

The classes, which go Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, are taught by certified coach-es LaVerne Howard and Alyssa Lindberg. Howard has close to 50 years of coach-ing experience and Lindberg is a longtime figure skater. For more information on the pro-grams – PreCanSkate, CanSkate, StarSkate and CanPowerSkate – call the club at 250-395-1842 or email [email protected].

The Club is hosting a Skate-a-thon on Nov. 3 from 3:30 p.m. to 4:15.

The 100 Mile House Primal Electric Milers righted the ship in a big way following a loss on Oct. 18, splitting a pair of games with the Quesnel Thunder at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre.

The local peewee team won 4-3 after an 11-3 loss earlier in the day.

The Milers “put a 60-minute effort in” for the win, says manager Cale Tessaro.

Quesnel opened the scoring half way through the first period, but Jace Myers tied the game with two minutes left in the middle frame. Then Nate Wolstenholme gave the Milers the lead two minutes into the third, while Quesnel would tie it 2-2 soon after.

Myers' second goal gave 100 Mile the lead with 12 minutes left before Quesnel responded quickly again to tie. Wolstenholme scored the winner with

less than two minutes to go and the Milers held on 4-3.

"Ryan Balbirnie was huge in goal for us,” Tessaro adds.

Colton Sanford and Marshall Tessaro would add two assists each for the Milers.

In the early game, Wolstenholme opened the scoring early in the first period firing a wrist shot past the Quesnel

goalie. However, Quesnel responded with seven straight goals. Ethan Sanders and Wolstenholme scored the other goals for 100

Mile, but Quesnel came away with the 11-3 win.

Owen Pincott had 2 assists.

The Milers travel to Quesnel this weekend.

“Fashion with a Heart” does another turn on the catwalk at the 100 Mile Community Hall at 1 p.m. on Oct. 25.

The third annual event, which benefits the Shirley Case School Project and this year the Just the Basics Success By 6 Campaign in the South Cariboo, features the newest fashions from local retailers while raising funds for children’s education.

Case, who grew up in 100 Mile House, was killed along with two other aid workers and a driver

in 2008 when their SUV was ambushed by gunmen while trav-elling in eastern Afghanistan. They were working on education and children’s programs in the coun-try with the International Rescue Committee, a New York-based aid group. According to reports, the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.

In memory of her, friends and family organized the Shirley Case School Project, in partnership with SchoolBOX, which is committed to building schools in Nicaragua.

Three Shirley Case Schools have been built to date, says Pam Ellis, Case’s sister.

“It’s made a huge difference in three communities. There are over 300 students attending the three schools.”

The foundation has also raised funds for the employment of 12 full-time teachers, 957 books, 20 teacher-training hours, 40 desks and 248 education packages, adds Ellis, while stress-ing that even a small donation here has a big impact in a poorer coun-

try like Nicaragua, where “five dollars buys a child an education for a year.”

Friends and members of the Case family will be modelling fash-ions from The Log House, Borgo’s Sports Shack, The Outlaw, Class Act Formals and Exeter Sporting Goods.

Half of the proceeds from the event will go to Success By 6, a partnership of United Ways, Credit Unions of British Columbia, the Ministry of Children and Family Development and aboriginal and

community leaders, which funds programs which promote healthy development for young children and families in B.C.

Erica Henderson is the Success By 6 co-ordinator for the South Cariboo.

“This actually is a very perfect partnership,” says Henderson.

“In keeping her memory alive, [Shirley] is now helping children overseas as well as children in her own community. Her passion for children is going to be kept alive everywhere.”

A saga of Canadian ancestryCarole RooneyFree Press

How many generations has your family been living in Canada?

In mid-August, five genera-tions of the Steffano family and four generations of the Bouchard family met in an unusual gather-ing of Canadian heritage at a 97 Mile home.

Elaine Bouchard says they were all visiting her home to have mul-tigenerational family pictures taken together with her mother, Vera (Steffano) McLachlan, now 93.

It was the first time all five liv-ing generations of Steffanos were

photographed together, right down to Vera’s infant great-great-grandson, Spencer Lane.

“We just got together and had a dinner with all the family that was there. We had never seen Spencer, so it was our first meeting with him.”

Another photograph taken the same day features four genera-tions of Bouchards headed up by Elaine’s husband, Donat (Don), who is 76.

She notes Don’s family has ancestral ties that trace back a long way on Canadian soil.

The genealogy efforts she and others have made confirmed the Bouchard family line span-

ning 13 generations, Elaine explains.

Most notably, the Bouchards are believed to be the 11th gen-eration in this country – with four generations of these Canadians alive today.

She notes Don was born in Manitoba, as were his parents, Alphonse and Florida (Assially) Bouchard, who had 13 children – 11 of whom are living.

Don’s mother also tended a huge garden on the farm, arose at 4 a.m. daily to make at least 60 loaves of bread, and taught all her “baker’s dozen” of children to sew, Elaine adds.

She says Don disliked his

chore of churning butter, so once he got the idea to attach an elec-tric drill.

“Of course, he got it spinning and they had butter all over the place.”

Don’s paternal grandparents, Ephrem and Hortense (Gamache) Bouchard, were both born in Quebec, Elaine notes.

“The [genealogy] book that I have says ... that both Hortense and Ephram were [already] sixth-generation Canadians.”

She notes Florida’s goal in life was to make quilts for each of her 44 grandchildren.

Vera (Steffano) McLachlan, left, was photographed with her daughter Elaine Bouchard, granddaughter Patricia Lane, great grandson David Lane and great-great-grandson Spencer Lane in mid-August.

Bouchard, Steffano families form long line of history

“She managed to get 22 of those finished before she passed away, and one of her daugh-ters is going to fulfill her dream.”

On Elaine’s side of the family, the family matri-arch – her mother Vera – lives in her own home on their property at 97 Mile.

Elaine is 71, and says

her only sibling, Faye, has passed away.

Vera was born in Wapella, Saskatchewan to Joseph and Gertrude (Jones) Steffano. Gertrude was born in Saskatchewan also, although Joseph was from Wales, Elaine explains.

“Mom was telling me that when she was growing up, hobos and Indians used to come

past their house on the Red River Cart Trail and [Gertrude] would give them food. Then, they’d make a marking at the end of the driveway to show the other hobos that this is where to go where they feed you.”

Don and Elaine’s daughter Cheryl Bouchard from 100 Mile House attended, as did their other daughter’s family, Janet and George

Edwards and their chil-dren, Victor and Nicole, from Quesnel.

Family from the Lower Mainland includ-ed another daughter,

Patricia, her husband, Doug Lane, and their son’s family, David, Lindsay and Spencer Lane.

Elaine notes only her

and Don’s other daugh-ter, Dawn Maholvich, and her family were unable to make it out for this historic gathering of familial generations.

Folks who appreciate great photography, ranching scenes, wildlife and birds, or art in general will enjoy the current show at Parkside Art Gallery.

Renowned photographer Peter Castonguay has an arrangement of his work on display in a show running until Nov. 8 at the gallery at 401 Cedar Ave.

After a long career in local agriculture while also developing his skills and reputation as an amazing photographer, Castonguay retired from ranching some years back and devoted his time to professional photog-raphy.

However, his passion for the lens began almost 40 years ago, shortly after he arrived in 100 Mile House

at age 24.Possessed of a keen

eye for awesome images, Castonguay says he began framing scenes with his

hands and forming “pic-tures” in his mind a year before he got his first camera – a Pentax ME purchased in Hong Kong by a friend.

“I started taking photo-graphs in 1975 here in 100 Mile House.”

Five years later, Castonguay trained with

world-renowned photogra-pher Sherman Hynes, and his photography soared to a new level of skill and profes-sionalism.

He has focused – literally and figuratively – on ranch scenes during the past four decades, but more and more in recent years has expanded into photographing a host of wildlife, birds, and non-agricultural landscapes.

One photo in his current show at Parkside, featuring pelicans on a frozen lake, had him out and about for 28 hours seeking their location, waiting, and then snapping off hundreds of shots to capture the best scene and conditions, he explains.

“I hunt for images. I know when they are going to be there, and I go there when the light is the way I want.

“Probably 65 per cent of my work is shot within a

20-mile radius of 100 Mile House.”

Castonguay adds other scenes he has photographed, such as trumpeter swans, materialize for him within camera range of his home at Simon Lake.

The wide range of his favourite pieces featured in the show include a well-known photograph he took in the late 1970s of a herd of horses loping through fall-ing snow on Bridge Creek Estates (where he began his work in ranching).

Some of his more recent photos on display are from this summer, with a wide range of others from his best work during the many years in between.

A sampling of Castonguay’s photographs is featured online at www.cowboy-pics.com and at www.facebook.com/peterjulescastonguay.

Castonguay’s images featured in art show

Preparing for his current show at Parkside Art Gallery, local photographer Peter Castonguay arranges one of his images of migrating pelicans, which he had patiently and painstakingly set up when they landed on a frozen South Cariboo lake.

Chris Harris will be presenting his latest book, Flyover – British Columbia’s Cariboo Chilcotin Coast, at the Green Lake Snowmobile Club, 176 Green Lake Rd. South on Saturday (Oct. 25).

A dinner of beef dip, salad, dessert and non-alcoholic beverages will be served at 6 p.m., and Harris’ talk and photo show will begin at 7:30.

He is well-known for his using his photogra-phy to bring awareness of the nature and beau-ty of this area. Harris worked with Sage Birchwater to bring the stories of aviators who were, and still are, part of the aviation history of the region.

Harris tells of the first landings of planes in Williams Lake in 1928; the stories and fami-lies of the Wilderness Airline; and the adven-tures of flying both planes and helicopters.

His photography will take folks over areas they may not otherwise have the opportunity to see, such as the Rainbow Volcano in Tweedsmuir

Park, glaciers, and other spectacular sites seen only in the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region.

Tickets are $20 and are available at the 70 Mile General Store. For more information call Diane at 250-706-8562.


On Sept. 27, Ruth and Rene LeBlanc organized yet another very suc-cessful darts tournament at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #261-Forest Grove.

About 30 people were expected, but in the end, 46 registered, resulting in a “full house” and 23 games to be played. Participants arrived from as far away as Kamloops, Barrier, Clearwater and Quesnel, but 100 Mile House and Forest Grove were well represented.

First place went to Robert Johnson and Aileen Lamberton (who

also won the wom-en’s high score) from Kamloops.

Rick Lensted from Green Lake (men’s high score and high out) and Annamarie Sward from Watch Lake was second.

Third place went to Hugh and Tracey Whalen from Quesnel, and the women’s high out went to Dorothy Carby from Barriere.

A bathroom renovation is an exciting task. But before jumping to choosing the latest tile or bathtub design, there are some less exciting things to consider so your project turns out just the way you dream it.Budget If you don’t know already you should work up an idea of how much you want to spend on your bathroom renovation. Time Many people assume that if they are remodeling a small bathroom it will only take a few days. This is not necessarily the case. Depending on how many items you are changing your contractor will have to go through all the same steps as a larger bathroom. Hidden problems If you are doing a major upgrade to your bathroom consider doing a “full gut”.Design style and functionality Start by thinking about the look you want. There are many factors to consider like paint color, tile choices, vanities, showers, tubs, faucets, etc. Contractor Hiring a contract for a conceivably DIY job? Well, yes, that is a smart thing to do given the complexity of the job and dif� cult operations involved (electrical,

tiling, plumbing, etc.). Do not overlook the advantages of hiring a contractor and save yourself misery and time.Plumbing � xtures and featuresNo renovation is complete without remodeling or repairing � xtures and features, which could very well make a separate checklist themselves: shower, bathtub, toilet, bidet, sink, faucets and shower heads. Cabinets, storage and shelvingCabinets, shelving and storing solutions need to be functional and accomodate all your stuff while keeping everything easily reachable.Walls and � ooring Virtually any material can be used to surface walls and � oors in the bathroom as long as it’s waterproof.Lighting A bathroom can be rendered impractical or downright dangerous without adequate lighting so plan for design lighting that is functional and also creates atmosphere. Ventilation Ventilation is crucial in a wet room like the bathroom. It is also a tricky task which needs good planning: choosing the right fan, the right position for its installation and dealing with the electrical wiring.

While I was a Director with the CRD, in 2002, I put forward aProposal for a NEW EXPANDED BOUNDARY PARCEL TAX

for ALL of our RECREATION IN THE SOUTH CARIBOO.This new boundary included All of the CRD Areas G,H,L &

100 Mile House, and was to facilitate a New Pool of $ 4 M.NO ASSESSMENT TAX, but instead a PARCEL TAX, payingONLY $100 total (residential), NOT in addition to what you

pay now. The outlying areas would retain 50% of their $100for their own recreation facilities like ball fields, rodeo grounds.This form of a banded parcel tax was approved by the Minister,calculated financially by the CRD, yet the other CRD Directors

would not look at this then or anytime in my 6 yrs with the CRD.NOW IS THE TIME! IT IS FAIR! IT IS AFFORDABLE!

We can have a reasonable priced, fairly taxedSwimming Pool if we work together and do it right

TOGETHER – WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE !

Now is the time for fire safety.

Be sure to clean your chimneys with the cor-rect size and material of brush; the wrong type will not do the job effec-tively.

Check your smoke alarms and change the batteries.

Do not let ashes build up to a depth of more than two inches in your wood stove. When removing the ashes, do not dispose of them until they are complete-ly cold, and do place them beside the house to cool.

In the event of fire, call 9-1-1.

Christmas bazaarEven though the

weather says it’s still summer (at time of writing), it’s time to book your table for the annual Roe Lake Christmas Bazaar.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 16, all sorts of vendors will ply their wares at Interlakes Hall. Regular tables cost $20 and small ones cost $15, and are payable in advance by Nov. 10.

To reserve a table, call Verna Desjardine at 250-593-0025, or Barb Weston at 250-593-4967.

Calf killedIn spite of the huge

“cattle” signs that were erected a couple of years ago, a calf was hit and killed on Horse Lake Road in early October.

This was particularly unfortunate as most of the cattle were already home, although they were permitted to stay out until Oct. 15.

Flu clinicThe Bridge Lake free

flu clinic for those who qualify will take place at Bridge Lake Community School from 1 to 3 p.m. on Nov. 26. No appoint-ment is necessary.

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.

Throne speech renews

“Think and Thump” before starting your car. Cats and wildlife gravitate to warm engines during cold weather. Banging on the hood before getting into your car can avoid a tragic ending for an animal seeking refuge from the cold.

The fees for impounded ani-mals are going up, as District of 100 Mile House council has approved amendments to the Animal Control Bylaw to increase maintenance costs for

any animal to $15 per day.This increases the former

maintenance costs of $9/day for dogs and cats, and $10/day for horses.

A staff memorandum to

council noted fees have not changed since 1994.

A survey of other munici-palities found the average daily charge is about $15, so staff rec-ommended the increase.

Community Band has started up for anoth-er exciting season, under the direction of two new conductors – Vanessa Toews and Jasmine Kreschuk.

This group of approximately 18 players has a lot of fun and laughter, as well as wading through a lot of music.

Until last year, the band was directed by the vener-able Jack Fellner, who because of health issues has to step down. Jack is a musician of long experience, and he led the band for many years.

Concert bands offer a wonderful musical and social experience, as well as another source of live music for the community.

The ages of these ded-

icated musicians band members are from 15 to 80 years, and yet we are all brought together to master the wide range of music, from hymns and marches to pop and jazz favourites.

The band offers an opportunity for old-timers like me to mix with teenagers in a common pur-pose to make music.

An outbreak of laughter is common as we

try to master a difficult passage

in the music, but the effort to attain success is more than gratifying in the long run.

One of our players, Bill Crook, totes his trombone all the way from 150 Mile House in all weather to attend practices.

“I love getting togeth-er to make music and hang out with a great bunch of folks,” he says.

One young high school player, Anna Betuzzi, puts down her oboe when asked and capably leads the band, thereby gaining that leadership and musical experience.

People from all walks of life – doctors, secre-taries, retired folks, high school students – come to make music together.

Those who may be interested in playing in the band or wish further information, should contact Eric Grummisch at 250-706-5076 or Dennis Tupman

at 250-456-2302.Rehearsals are held in

the band room at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School, and are on

Tuesdays at 7 p.m.Dennis Tupman

is a longtime member of the 100 Mile House Community Band.

The TIMBER MART SharpShooter Photo Contest wants to see what Canadian hockey means to you depicted in your pho-tograph.

Whether you see this as the competition, the superstition, the practices at dawn or the after-midnight overtime celebrations, it can be anything that shows your love for the game.

100 Mile House TIMBER MART gen-eral manager Ralph Myhill-Jones notes it is a great way to enter a free contest that can potentially benefit both you and your own local hockey team.

“I hope the com-munity gets behind it because it’s going to benefit the 100 Mile & District Minor Hockey Association if one of the winners is a local person.”

The top 10 pho-tos will each win the entrant a $500 TIMBER MART Gift Card – but that’s not all.

If your photo then wins the grand prize draw, it will score the Canadian minor hock-ey team of your choice

the trip of a lifetime to the 2015 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Junior Championships in Montreal.

The contest ends Nov.

16, and it’s not just for adults – even teens can enter, providing they get their parent’s per-mission.

Post your photo entry online at www.

timbermart.ca/sharp shooter, or follow the links to Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.

More information and the official rules are available on the website.

Mark Oct. 25 on your calendar as the day you and your children compete in a Pumpkin Carving Competition with a few of the celebrity 100 Mile House Wranglers.

their favourite pumpkin and the winner will be announced

during the second intermission of the game.The carver of the audience-voted best

pumpkin will get to watch their home team play in their very own Wranglers jersey.

The carving will com-mence shortly after 11

a.m. in the Central GM

showroom on Oct. 25. Each carver will receive a complimentary carving kit; however, bringing additional tools is encouraged.

Registration is required as there are a limited number of spots available.
