'Respect the jumps'Gaven CritesFree Press

The unauthorized bike trails tirelessly constructed by local youth in Centennial Park received a formal thumbs-up from local lead-ers on Oct. 27.

Environmental, safety and liability concerns the District of 100 Mile House had were officially addressed at a reg-ular council meeting, with young local mountain bikers and parents in council cham-bers for the meeting.

The fate of the bike park, hidden in the woods behind Centennial Park, had been up in the air since it was discov-ered on District property in the spring.

Clayton Chamberlain addressed council on behalf of the bikers.

“It has been a very safe, suc-cessful and productive year on our part,” Chamberlain said.

“The community and rider

and parent support has been overwhelming. The knowl-edge gained and the materials donated ... and dedication to maintaining these perfect jumps is truly incredible.”

The altered landscape is a remarkable site, like the awe-some remains of an extreme newly discovered civilization. Steep lanes of earth descend like a radical roadway through the conifers, coursing into huge rolling banks of dirt and ramps built of plywood and moss-covered logs. The boys manoeuvre with impressive dexterity at impressive heights with no fear.

A sign nailed to a tree reads: “RESPECT THE JUMPS, DO NOT WALK ON THEM.” Another sign from the District of 100 Mile House reads: “USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.”

Countless hours of labour went into the park’s construc-tion and $1,000 was raised privately to purchase insur-

ance for the year. Mayor Mitch Campsall

congratulated and thanked Chamberlain and the youth in attendance, before remind-ing them any extra work or alterations to the park need to be cleared with council first.

“It is a positive [thing] they’ve done,” Campsall said. “And the work they’ve done is pretty impressive, that’s for sure.”

As for helping the youth with funding the park in the future, the mayor said “no” at this point in time.

“If it’s something we’d get into, it would be something we’d have to get into with the Cariboo Regional District.”

Hun City Mountain Bike Club member Steve Law has acted as a sort of interme-diary between council and the bike park members. He was instrumental in getting the new bike park properly insured – under the Hun City Mountain Bike Club

– which was a long and dif-ficult task because rules on bike park certification aren’t really clear cut, unless they’re built by a certified builder, he explained.

“It seems if you have that you generally don’t have a problem. But ours was built by some kids essentially. That was part of the problem. Even though it’s very similar to what you see in bike parks, it wasn’t built by a recognized builder.”

Human trafficking workshop successful

Kimberly Vance-Lundsbye photo

Registered Social Worker and Aboriginal educator Melissa Hyland, left, 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre Society executive director Sonja Ramsay, Office to Combat Trafficking in Persons (OCTIP) policy and stakeholder relations director Rosalind Currie, and Victor Porter, OCTIP program and research analyst posed for a photo during the human trafficking workshop at The Hills Health Ranch on Oct. 21-22.

Forty service providers from around the South Cariboo attended an important and educational human trafficking workshop at The Hills Health Ranch at 108 Mile on Oct. 21-22.

100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre Society executive director Sonja Ramsay co-ordi-nated and co-facilitated the workshop, which was British Columbia’s ninth training session on human trafficking, with the Office to Combat Trafficking in Persons (OCTIP).

The OCTIP is in the Community Safety & Crime Prevention Branch of the Ministry of Justice.

“We held the training at The Hills Health Ranch, which was exception-ally therapeutic for the participants. I worked in a really great balance of self-care for the participants into the agenda and made counsellors available in the room to work with those [who were] triggered by the heaviness and violence of the topic.”

In April, the Women’s Centre received a $17,000 contract to administer, co-ordinate and host the Human Trafficking Train-the-Trainer event for service providers throughout the South Cariboo, Ramsay explains.

“The feedback from participants on the train-ing was it was the best training workshop people had ever been to. Numerous participants will connect after the training event and offer more dialogue and training opportunities to various

groups throughout the South Cariboo.”100 Mile House is on the corridor of gruesome

and grueling trafficking of people forced into the sex trade, she says, adding these people (90 per cent of whom are women and children) are lured, groomed and then entrapped into services against

their will.The main corridor from Vancouver

travels Highway 97 to Prince George, east to Edmonton, south to Calgary and returns to Vancouver. The majority of cases and convictions in Canada (31 convictions to date) involve Aboriginal women and children.

“Our community youth are vulnerable due to a myriad of reasons, especially intergenerational circumstances of trau-ma incurred during residential school.

Dialogue around how to protect vulnerable youth is exceptionally vital to the well-being of their futures and to keep them from being lured into these rings.”

However, the sex trade is not the only instance of human trafficking in Canada, Ramsay says, adding temporary foreign workers, such as farm helpers, fast food workers and live-in nannies, are also vulnerable.

She notes a fast-food restaurant in Dawson Creek had four victims of human trafficking and there were eight victims at a hotel in Valemount.

“These victims were temporary foreign workers who did not speak English, were not paid, were not allowed to leave their jobs and did not have

any choice to leave their post as their passports had been taken from them. Due to the language barrier, the victims had nowhere to go.”

Often, people are lured to Canada by traffick-ers on false pretenses, and when they arrive, their new realities do not match what they’ve been promised, Ramsay explains.

“Yet, they are unable to leave or choose alternate employment as their passports and identification may have been taken away. These people may be misinformed and scared of disclosing they are not being fed, paid and clothed appropriately or given the choice to leave.”

Noting South Cariboo residents may be won-dering why they are seeing posters or information materials around their communities in languages that are not their own, she says the hope is to reach out to those who may need help getting back home or to safety.

The most important aspect of the OCTIP train-ing is participants learned that Canada is not immune to human trafficking, Ramsay adds.

“Our youth, especially Aboriginal youth, are vulnerable. Guests in our country are mistreated and the crime is exceptionally complex.”

Ramsay says participants also connected, shared respect and stories, and developed a net-work of South Cariboo residents who have each other’s backs.

“We are all in this together and support one another to help educate our communities about human trafficking.”

CRD SUPPORTS REQUESTThe Cariboo Regional District board has endorsed a resolu-tion in support of an application to the Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT) from the Lone Butte, Horse Lake Community Association.The $6,206 request for grant funding is from the NDIT’s Regional Development Account, under the Community Halls & Recreation Facilities program.The money will be used to purchase new chairs for the Lone Butte Community Hall, and to construct a storage shed that will house a ladder and other sup-plies. The current chairs at the hall are in poor condition and need replacement, so the hall can continue to host larger gatherings.

STREET CLOSURE APPROVEDDistrict of 100 Mile House council has approved the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #260-100 Mile House’s request to close off Birch Avenue from First to Fourth streets between 10 a.m. and noon annually on Nov. 11 for the annual Remembrance Day Parade and Ceremony.Councillors also direct-ed District Community Services staff to work with the Legion parade organizers to address all parade logistics and ensure public safety during the ceremony.

WE SCARE HUNGER 100 Mile Elementary School’s Leadership Group is working with Free the Children Canada and Sunrise Ford to help address hunger locally.Students are join-ing other Canadian students in We Scare Hunger, and they will be “Trick or Treating” for food donations on Halloween evening, so please expect them at your door. There will also be collec-tion bins at the school and around town for parents, students and community members to drop off donations.

Changes starting for OVR ownersKen AlexanderFree Press

Starting Nov. 1, the B.C. Liberal government has made off-road vehicle (ORV) registration and safety provi-sions are mandatory on Crown land effective after passing regulations in the Off-Road Vehicle Act.

It requires mandatory ORV regis-

tration, helmet use by all riders and restrictions on use by children under 16 years.

Noting numerous ORV clubs have been asking for the changes, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says she has been working on the changes for a long time and she is completely in favour of them.

“A minor group of people in the

province are upset because they feel [mandatory registration] is a cash grab, but it’s not. It’s there so you reg-ister [ORVs] once and not every year.

“You register once for $48 and you can get a licence plate or a sticker – that was an issue for owners of some motorbikes and snowmobiles because they wouldn’t fit on them, so now they can use a sticker instead.”

She explains the funds from the registration just cover the cost of the program, so it’s not a “cash grab, and I would be the first one to complain if it was.”

The registration of ORVs was put in place to combat theft, Barnett says, adding the identification will be read-ily available for COs and the RCMP

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett congratulated a key local not-for-prof-it organization that applied successfully for recent EventHostBC funding.

The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development approved $5,000 fund-ing for the South Cariboo Community Planning Council (SCCPC) to help

broaden the District of 100 Mile House 50th Anniversary celebra-tions, which took place July 18-26.

“Events like this help us celebrate our com-munity pride, with the added benefit of attracting visitors and boosting the local econ-omy,” says Barnett.

“C on g r at u l a t i on s to this grant recipi-ent and thank you to all the organizers and

volunteers who work hard behind the scenes to stage successful events.”

SCCPC executive director Lea Smirfitt says the money was used to help bring some extra events to the District’s anniversary celebration.

“Our role with the District was to be an event host. So we part-nered with the District to bring some addition-

al sources to broaden the activities during the 50th anniversary cel-ebration.”

EventHostBC, which launched May 8, 2015, is a one-time funding initiative intended to encourage and sup-port community events that strengthen volun-

teer capacity for event hosting throughout the province.

A total budget of $250,000 was allocated and is being distribut-ed equally throughout the province’s six tourism regions based on a first-come, first-serve model.

Gaven Crites Free Press

Close to two dozen health-care workers ral-lied at the busy Highway 97 and First Street inter-section in 100 Mile House on Oct. 27, pro-testing Interior Health Authority (IHA) plans to potentially privatize laundry services in the region.

Up to 11 cities and towns throughout the Interior may lose their local hospital laundry, along with 175 in-house jobs, including four in 100 Mile House, should the privatization plans go ahead.

Street-side demon-strations organized by the Hospital Employees Union (HEU) were also held in Kamloops, Kelowna, Nelson, and Penticton.

No decision has been made yet in terms of the laundry service review, says IHA com-munications officer

Michaela Swan.“We had anticipated

a decision by the end of summer, but we have extended that time and anticipate a final decision later this fall. We certainly understand the weight of the decision on our staff.”

Barb Matfin, HEU 100 Mile House chair-

person, says the rally is intended to raise aware-ness in this community regarding the upcoming decision.

“Here in 100 Mile, we have relatively new laundry equipment.... We’re quite modern; we’re fast; the girls work really hard.

“Nothing touches you more than laundry

when you’re in a hos-pital. You want to make sure you have super clean laundry.

These are local jobs, family-supporting jobs, Matfin adds.

“Write your MLA, write the Minister of Health, write Interior Health, to let them know 100 Mile doesn’t approve of privatizing

our laundry.”Cariboo-Chilcotin

MLA Donna Barnett says she does not sup-port laundry service privatization.

“Sending laundry out of Williams Lake and 100 Mile House makes no common sense, and as far as economic sense, I have seen none.”

Protest against laundry privatization

Health-care workers in 100 Mile House rallied on Oct. 27 to protest the potential privatization of laundry services by the Interior Health Authority.

when they’re monitoring activity in the backcoun-try or when they receive information about a theft.

“It’s also there for the one per cent of the population that continually goes into eco-sensi-tive areas with f o u r - w h e e l vehicles and trucks. They go where they’re not supposed go, including private land.

“So, hopefully, people will stop doing it because the fines are increased for abusers.”

Now, operators can get a $230 fine for driving an unlicensed ORV, and a $368 fine for careless operation. For reckless use or environmental damage, penalties can go up to $5,000 fines and six months in jail.

Meanwhile, Barnett says there could be discussion about the changes in the future because there are piec-es of the legislation she and other people are not happy about.

She notes ranchers can license their tractors and drive it down the side of the road from point

A to point B, but with the new ORV legislation, they would have to get a permit from the RCMP to drive their ORV on the same route.

This is also the case for snowmobil-ers who want to ride from one RCMP jurisdiction to another one, Barnett says, adding they would have to get a per-mit from both RCMP detach-

ments to be legal.“As far as I’m con-

cerned on the permit issue, if you have a B.C. driver’s licence, ICBC insurance and adequate liability insurance and you’re obeying all of the safety regulations, it makes no sense. It’s just another piece of red tape.”

She adds there are a couple of other issues she is working on, including more funding for trails.

Operating standards• Helmets must be

worn when operating an ORV. For standards of acceptable helmets, see section 22 of the OVR regulation at www.bclaws.ca (Off-Road

Vehicle Act).• If a manufacturer

has installed seat belts, then the seat belt must be worn during the opera-tion of that vehicle.

• ORVs must use lights during low vis-ibility conditions when riding on Crown land 30 minutes after sunset or 30 minutes before sunrise. If lights are not installed by the manufac-turer, temporary lights

can be attached to the ORV. For details on light standards, see section 24 of the OVR regulation.

• Children must be supervised when rid-ing on Crown land and be riding an appro-priate sized ORV as recommended by the manufacturer. For details, see sections 16-18 of the OVR regulation.

The ORV registra-tion is integrated within

the pre-existing struc-ture of the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia’s (ICBC) motor vehicle registry. This will reduce imple-mentation costs and allows ORV owners to register at any of the ICBC insurance brokers in the province.

Owners who already secured an ORV number plate during vol-untary registration can

– between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31, 2015 – bring their registration and metal plate to any ICBC broker and exchange their metal plate for a sticker for no charge.

After Dec. 31, 2015, an $18 fee will apply to exchange a metal plate for a sticker or vice versa.

Furthermore, snow-mobile owners who have already registered their vehicles under the Motor

Vehicle (All Terrain) Act will be eligible for refund, up until Nov. 16, 2015, when they register under the ORV Act.

The refund will be for the amount they had already paid – $5 for transfers and $10 for reg-istration.

For more detailed information on the new ORV regulations, go to https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/mof/orv/.

The provincial government’s new $1,200 education and training grants are now available from credit unions around the province.

Williams Lake and District Credit Union (WLDCU) finan-cial service supervisor Shannon Nantel says the one-time grant is available for any child born in 2007 or later whose parents apply

for, or already have a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) set up for them.

They must apply for the grant within three years after the child turns six years old, up to or until the day before the child’s ninth birthday, she explains.

Nantel adds no additional depos-its or matching funds are required to be eligible for this grant, which is deposited to an RESP account upon approval of the application.

However, most RESPs have other applicable grants, some of which require parental funds to be deposited, she notes.

Nantel says parents with more than one child should consider set-ting up a family RESP that requires all siblings listed as beneficiaries, providing the custodial parent(s) and beneficiaries are all British Columbia residents.

The money can gather interest without taxation in an open RESP for up to 36 years, and can be used

by any beneficiary listed if the pri-mary person does not use it for education funding.

“That’s why, if you have [more than one child], it’s great to open a family RESP ... if after that time nobody uses it, you get your money back that you contributed, but all the grants go back [to gov-ernment].”

The WLDCU is contacting all its customers with RESPs about the opportunity, as it won’t happen automatically, she explains.

“If you are an RESP holder, you must come in and apply for the grant.”

Nantel adds for setting up an RESP and/or applying for the education and training grant, no appointments are needed or accepted, so folks can walk into the branch and ask for assistance anytime.

Interior Health (IH) is preparing to help protect children, preg-nant women, seniors, people with chronic ill-nesses and others who are most at risk from influenza and its com-plications.

In a typical influenza season, thousands of Canadians develop seri-ous illness or even die from influenza or its complications. The flu shot is a safe and effec-tive way to help people stay healthy, prevent ill-ness and save lives.

“Many people incor-rectly use the term ‘flu’ to refer to any ill-ness caused by a virus, such as the stomach flu or the common cold, says IH medical health officer Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi.

“However, influenza tends to be more severe. Influenza reduces the body’s ability to fight ill-nesses and infections and it can also increase a per-son’s risk for developing other serious conditions, including viral or bacte-rial pneumonia.”

Getting a flu shot and washing your hands frequently are the two most effective ways to protect yourself and others from influenza and its complications, Dr. Golmohammadi adds.

The flu shot provides protection from the influenza virus strains expected to be circulat-ing this season based on trends worldwide. This year’s flu shot offers protection against two influenza A viruses (an H1N1 and an H3N2 virus) and one influenza B virus.

For those under 18 years, the preferred vac-cine also protects against an additional B influenza virus.

The flu shot is free for those at risk of compli-cations from influenza and those in contact with people at risk:

• People 65 years and older and their caregiv-ers/household contacts;

• People of any age in residential-care facilities;

• Children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts;

• Children and ado-

lescents (six months to 18 years) with conditions treated for long periods of time with Aspirin (ASA) and their house-hold contacts;

• Children and adults who are morbidly obese;

• Aboriginal people;• All children 6-59

months of age• Household contacts

and caregivers of infants and children up to 59 months old;

• Pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy during the influenza sea-son and their household contacts;

• Visitors to hospitals, health centres and resi-dential-care facilities;

• People who work with live poultry;

• Health-care and other care providers in facilities and community settings who are capable of transmitting influenza disease to those at high risk of influenza compli-cations;

• People who provide care or service in poten-tial outbreak settings housing high-risk per-sons; and

• People who provide essential community ser-

vices (first responders, corrections workers).

IH holds public clinics for those who are eligible for the free flu shot, but remember to bring your Care Card.

Page 7: 100 Mile House Free Press, October 29, 2015

The B.C. Liberal government received a stinging rebuke from British Columbia’s Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham who identified major prob-lems in the access to information practices of two government minis-tries and the Office of the Premier.

The investigation report, which Denham released on Oct. 22, was called “Access Denied: Record Retention and Disposal Practices of the Government of British Columbia,” and it revealed prob-lems between the actions of political staff in responding to access to information requests and the duty to

respond openly, accu-rately and completely to requests for records as mandated by section 6(1) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA).

“In the course of this investigation, we uncov-ered negligent searches for records, a failure to keep adequate email records, a failure to document searches, and the wilful destruction of records responding to an access request. Taken together, these practices threaten the integrity of access to information in British Columbia,” wrote Denham.

The commissioner launched an investiga-tion after Tim Duncan, a former executive

assistant in the Office of the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI), submitted a complaint on May 27, 2015 alleging destruction of records responsive to an access request about Highway 16/the Highway of Tears filed with the MoTI in November 2014.

Duncan complained a fellow employee had wilfully and deliberately deleted records from his computer that were responding to an access to information request about the Highway of Tears, and the hearing got underway.

Investigators request-ed monthly e-mail backups, seized and inspected computers, and reviewed mailbox

metadata and message tracking logs.

The investigation determined Duncan’s records had more than likely been deliberately “triple deleted,” which has been denied.

The matter has been referred to the RCMP for investigation of pos-sible offences.

Meanwhile the NDP Leader John Horgan jumped all over the news the B.C. Liberal government was condemned for the widespread practice of “triple deleting” e-mails so they can’t be stored in daily computer back-ups.

On Oct. 26, the Union of BC Indian Chiefs demanded the B.C. Liberal govern-

ment implement all 11 of Denham’s recom-mendations in quick order.

Premier Christy Clark has told her cabi-net ministers and their political staff to keep every e-mail they send until new procedures are in place.

Page 8: 100 Mile House Free Press, October 29, 2015

With the federal election now behind us, the

new Prime Minister can, and must, promote the economy and the environment in the first few weeks of his mandate.

The foundation for both future economic stability and environmental sustainability will be laid for decades to come based on two significant global initiatives – the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris.

As the representative of an industry that supports 230,000 well-paid jobs across Canada, the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) fully understands that economic and environmental policies are inextricably linked and cannot be viewed in isolation.

Giving legislative approval to the TPP will give our industry an historic opportunity to further improve access to rapidly growing markets in the Asia

Pacific region. Free trade in forest products will help the forest sector reach its ambitious Vision2020 goals of generating an additional $20 billion in economic activity and refreshing the workforce with 60,000 new recruits.

However, the TPP has the potential to do much more than that. It also gives us the opportunity to sell our green and sustainable forest products in more countries.

Pending an international agreement on climate that may come out of the upcoming UN Climate Conference, our industry is well positioned to gain a competitive advantage by leveraging our world-leading sustainability practices and developing Canada’s reputation as a global leader on climate change.

Canada’s forest products industry is working hard to be part of the solution to the climate challenge. Our

vast renewable forests absorb the carbon dioxide (CO2) that causes climate change and this role of sequestering carbon continues in wood products.

The sector has also reduced its dependence on fossil fuels, as pulp and paper mills have cut greenhouse gas emissions by 65 per cent since

1990.Overall, we feel that

Canada’s forest products industry is leading the world in its green practices. For example, we have more than 160 million hectares of forests independently certified to follow progressive social and environmental practices (that’s four times more than any other country).

Canada’s forest sector has also pledged to be carbon-neutral. At the same time, we are constantly developing new products for the growing bio-economy by extracting more value from each and every tree we harvest responsibly.

FPAC wants to continue working in partnership with government to transform, innovate and produce ground-breaking products that will allow Canada’s forest sector to compete and be a global leader in the sustainable resource industry.

Canada’s forest products industry has come a long way in recent years. As the world embraces more free trade as well as a low carbon economy, the forest sector has become well positioned to help our country reach both its environmental and goals – no industry in Canada is more committed to growing a greener tomorrow.

David Lindsay is the president and CEO of the Forest Products Association of Canada.

The B.C. Liberal government just can’t seem to keep out of trouble as it continues to dig a deeper and wider hole under the leadership of

Premier Christy Clark.She became BC Liberal Party leader on Feb. 26, 2011,

after then premier Gordon Campbell fell on his sword when the party plunged to the bottom of the polls.

Clark pulled her party from the ashes in the May 14, 2013 provincial election based on promises of jobs and financial security through the development and export of liquefied natural gas, which have been slow developing.

The Clark government has been battling its way through problems – some small and large – from the outset of their mandate.

Most recently, there have been back-to-back issues that have the Clark government on its heels, ducking and covering up like a beleaguered boxer as the New Democrats, led by John Horgan, have been pummel-ling it during Question Period in the Legislature and in the provincial and national media.

Children & Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux came under fire last month after Alex Gervais, who was in government care, died after falling from the fourth floor of a Super 8 Motel in Abbotsford on Sept. 18.

The NDP asked Cadieux to resign, calling it the lat-est of a series of crises, deaths and court rulings – all pointing to the provincial government’s inability to look after children in its care.

Clark defended Cadieux, and said her government wouldn’t stop using hotels to house youth in emer-gency circumstances; however, she added it should be done as rarely as possible and for as short of a duration as possible.

Obviously, the government has to patch the holes immediately.

Last week, the Clark government got spanked by Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham for the way it handles requests for access to information.

A hearing was held after a Ministry of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure employee complained that a co-worker deleted several files he was working on a response to a request for information on Highway 16/Highway of Tears. The co-worker denied the alloca-tions; however, the matter has been forward to the RCMP to look into the matter.

Denham noted her office staff found negligent searches for records, a failure to keep adequate email records, a failure to document searches, and the wilful destruction of records responding to an access request.

“Taken together, these practices threaten the integ-rity of access to information in British Columbia,” she wrote.

Like the former federal Conservative government, the B.C. Liberals are showing a penchant for doing whatever it wants and trying to hoodwink British Columbians.

One wonders if the provincial government will suffer the same fate as the Tories, or if it will mend the way it governs.

Myths of the Highway of Tears

OpinionPublisher Chris Nickless • Editor Ken Alexander Published by Black Press Ltd. #3-536 Horse Lake Rd., 100 Mile House, B.C., V0K 2E0

To the editor:This is an open letter to

Environment Minister Mary Polak.Thank you for your response to

my letter this past summer.In your reply, you outlined what

British Columbia is doing to pro-tect us from an infestation of zebra and quagga mussels.

None of this was new informa-tion, and all together, it is still not enough. You did recognize “there is still work to be done.” I couldn’t agree more.

With the expertise gained from a year of full-time research on this issue, I again urge you to act immediately and decisively.

Last week, news broke out of Manitoba that after only two years, Lake Winnipeg is already seeing an infestation of epic proportions. In the words of University of Winnipeg professor Dr. Eva Pip, “The problem is irreversible and in fact it’s a catastrophe, it’s a disaster. It’s very sad because all we have to look forward to now in Lake

Winnipeg is a complete and even-tual collapse of our ecosystem.”

This is not unexpected news, but still it is an urgent reminder of the danger that B.C. faces.

In your letter, you spoke of a “perimeter defence” strategy to protect all of Western Canada and the Columbia Basin. The wisdom of this plan is clear, but it is still very far from completion.

Saskatchewan is doing practi-cally nothing.

Alberta has mandatory inspec-

tions at its eastern border, but those inspections run during regular working hours. A real scenario still exists where a contaminated boat could cross through Alberta after the inspectors have gone home, slip past one of B.C.’s “roving” teams, and launch in our waters.

Until such time as this perim-eter defence is fully in place, you must have an unbroken wall at our border.

Whether you are co-ordinating with other jurisdictions, a system

of rendezvousing with potential-ly infested boats after they have entered B.C. is illogical and irre-sponsible.

The only acceptable system for protecting our province is stop-ping and inspecting 100 per cent of boats before they enter our prov-ince.

When can we expect to see that in place?

Brynne MorriceVernon

To the editor:Re: Urban society slides into helplessness (B.C.

Views, Sept. 10)Tom Fletcher’s latest confusing rant challenges your

readers to be “competent” enough to plan for retire-ment.

He suggests using RRSP savings accounts without government assistance, tenuously suggests nationally subsidized child care is a form of incompetency and then rather ominously asks us if we are “ready for the day when the machine stops.”

One can only assume Mr. Fletcher somehow intends “the machine” metaphor to be a thinly-veiled reference to the federal government collapsing.

If so, I urge caution: RRSP savings accounts are registered with the federal government. Should that particular “machine” fail, your registered retirement savings plan would be rendered worthless, as it would be “registered” with no one in particular.

That spot under the mattress is beginning to look even more attractive as a place to plan for our retire-ments.

Thanks for the advice, Mr. Fletcher.Max Rundle Wilkie

Kelowna

Columnist’s argument confusing

To the editor:Some may see our country as a

multicultural mosaic, but I prefer to think of Canada as a huge concert hall filled with some of the world’s finest musicians.

Unfortunately, progressive instru-mentalists have been ignored for a decade. To reach our potential Canada needs an inspirational leader with the courage, integrity, compassion, vision and wisdom to bring people together.

When Justin Trudeau strides across the parliamentary stage and picks

up the baton of power, a hush of anticipation will silence the national audience.

Canadians will hold their collective breath; each one expecting him to play their favourite tune.

I wish him well, but if he does not exercise the necessary discipline to ensure his musicians are financially and ethically responsible, then all will be lost.

Lloyd AtkinsVernon

Canadians hold their collective breath

To the editor:This week one of my Canadian friends was

abducted, along with two more Canadians and a Filipino woman, from a marina near Davao, Philippines.

I am Australian. I cruise in my sailboat in the Philippines in winter, and I visit British Columbia every summer. I am proud to number Canadians among my friends.

I believe Canada should offer to contrib-ute to the Philippine effort to locate and release its citizens.

Security is an issue in the current election campaign.

What will the newly elected federal gov-ernment do to help these people?

The scandal of the week at the British Columbia legislature is what could be termed “delete-gate.”

Primarily, it revolves around 36 pages of government e-mails that the NDP Opposition has been trying for a year to get under freedom of information legislation. They relate to a series of meetings between transportation ministry bureaucrats and remote communities along Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert.

If you want all of the accusations about government secrecy and alleged cover-ups, I invite you to read “Access Denied,” the latest report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner at www.oipc.bc.ca, and transcripts of question period in the legislature this week.

What you won’t find there is much discussion of the actual problem, which is a shortage of safe and practical transportation options in and out of these communities, most of which are federally funded aboriginal reserves far from the region’s only highway.

What we have seen for decades is a

dramatic media narrative about one or more serial killers preying on vulnerable women hitch-hiking along what is now known world-wide as the Highway of Tears.

The Wikipedia entry for Highway of Tears gives a sense of the credibility of this narrative. It begins with the unsolved murder of Gloria Moody, last seen leaving a bar in Williams Lake in 1969. That’s a long way from Highway 16.

Then there was Monica Jack, killed in 1978. DNA technology resulted in a charge finally being laid last year against a known serial rapist. This was even further away, near Merritt, and she was a 12-year-old riding her bike.

Other cases involve street prostitution in and around Prince George, an urban hub for a large aboriginal population similar to Regina and Winnipeg.

Discussion in Victoria focuses on urban notions of increased transit, in places where existing service may be under-used.

Nationally, the narrative is that deep-seated social problems within aboriginal communities would somehow be solved by a lawyer-heavy judicial inquiry that looks only at tragedies involving women.

If you drive Highway 16 today, you will see fading billboards pleading for information on the disappearance of Madison Scott. She was last seen in the early hours of May 28, 2011, after a grad party in the woods outside Vanderhoof. Her truck and tent were still there. Again, nothing to do with hitch-hiking, but at least it was near Highway 16.

Here’s something else you won’t often hear in the Highway of Tears melodrama. There is commercial bus service on

Highway 16, although Greyhound reduced frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs.

BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities like Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connecting them south to Smithers.

However, BC Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay.

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments.

Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you, and Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care.

Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame.

I hope the infamous 36 pages of e-mails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release. They may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

Cattle Rustlers lead to $10,000 reward

VERNON - Rancher Jeremy Wasylyszyn and his fam-ily have launched a $10,000 reward for the arrest of the individuals who shot a cow and calf Tuesday near Cherryville.

“This is $4,000 (for the cow and calf) so maybe $10,000 is an incentive to report them. We will see how good of friends he has,” said Wasylyszyn.

“We drove by the cow and calf standing there in the morning and we came back about two to three hours later, and they were shot,” said Wasylyszyn.

“They cut the identification tags off the ears but we found them in a brush pile.”

Wasylyszyn is working with the RCMP and conser-vation officers as part of the investigation.

“I’m sure somebody saw something,” said  Wasylyszyn, adding that there’s a lot of logging in that area.

Man bear-sprayed near homeless campAbbOTsfORd - Abbotsford videographer Kevin Macdonald was filming footage of the homeless camp on Gladys Avenue on Wednesday morning when he was bear-sprayed by an angry woman.

Macdonald, had been hired by CTV News to film the site as part of their piece on the b.C. supreme Court decision regarding overnight camping in parks.

He had already interviewed one of the camp occu-pants for comments about the decision and was continuing to work when a woman, carrying a can of bear spray, came walking angrily towards him.

“It’s against the law to take our picture …” she yells.Macdonald said as the woman came towards him,

he “lightly pushed” her away with his hand, and she then released the bear spray on him.

“I’ve never felt pain like that before in my life … It feels like your entire face is on fire,” Macdonald said later.

Paramedics treated Macdonald on the scene, and the woman, Christina Violet bentley, 39, was arrested and has been charged with assault with a weapon.

“This was supposed to be a positive story,” he said of the ruling that, in part, sided with the homeless in permitting them to sleep overnight in parks in Abbotsford.

100 Mile House RCMP responded to 97 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Below are high-lights of the week’s calls.

Arrested on warrantsOn Oct. 27, 100 Mile

House RCMP attended a residence in the 300 block of Horse Lake Road in an attempt to locate a male with several outstanding warrants for proba-tion offence from the Kamloops area.

Police subsequently located the male leav-ing in a vehicle. He was arrested for the warrants as well as for possession of a controlled sub-stance and obstruction as he provided a false name to police. A male and female at the resi-dence were also arrested for obstruction as they attempted to interfere with a police investiga-tion.

The male is cur-rently in custody and is being held pending a bail hearing. The other two individuals were released on a promise to appear to attend court at a later date.

Thieve apprehendedOn Oct. 26, RCMP

attended a report of a theft from vehicle at a business located on Exeter Station Road.

Numerous items had been taken from the vehicle. The female suspect was caught on surveillance and identi-fied by police.

Police located the female on Oct. 27

while she was driving an uninsured vehicle and she was arrested. Numerous items from the theft were located inside her vehicle.

She is currently in custody and is awaiting a bail hearing.

Driver extricatedOn Oct. 25, RCMP

attended a report of a motor vehicle incident on Wilcox Road.

It was determined the small pick-up truck was travelling northbound on Wilcox Road and

drove into the other lane of traffic into the opposite ditch where it struck a tree.

It is believed the lone occupant, a female had been trapped inside the vehicle for several hours. The female was

extricated by rescue personnel and sustained what are believed to be serious non-life-threat-ening injuries.

The female was later flown to hospital in Kamloops for further treatment. The incident remains under investi-gation.

Impaired drivingOn Oct. 23, RCMP

received a complaint of an impaired driver on Cariboo Trail.

The vehicle was

located parked and the female driver backed the vehicle up and almost collided with the police vehicle. She

was determined to be impaired by alcohol and arrested for impaired driving.

The female was brought back to the detachment where she failed to provide a suit-able breath sample. The female was later released on a promise to appear in court and was served an administra-tive driving prohibition.

Breach of conditionsOn Oct. 23, police

received calls from a pay

phone at the Cariboo Mall of someone calling 9-1-1.

Members attended and located a male who was known to police. The male had no specif-ic reason for the 9-1-1 call and was found to be intoxicated.

The male, who was on conditions not to consume liquor from a previous incident, was arrested for breach of undertaking.

He subsequently resisted arrest and became assaultive with members at scene.

The male was lodged in cells and was held for court on charges of breach of undertak-ing, resisting arrest, and assault on a peace offi-cer.

The male was later released by the courts on several conditions and will re-attend court at a later date.

The economy and new development in 100 Mile House could potentially get a boost when a plan to imple-ment a rural dividend comes about.

British Columbia’s Rural Advisory Council (RAC) began looking at a framework for the dividend when it met in the spring, and this fall, it will look at where the funding could come from and how it might all pan out.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett chairs the council, giv-ing the South Cariboo and the rest of her constituency a leading voice in highlighting rural concerns on the panel.

Also Parliamentary Secretary for Rural Development working

alongside Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson, Barnett says government recog-nizes the importance of fostering thriving rural communities in B.C., and is committed to doing this.

She notes the RAC is focusing on its man-date to look at a rural dividend and economic

growth for rural com-munities.

“Also, it’s how can rural communities access capital for invest-ment purposes, for

growth, easier than what they do now.”

The RAC consists of a group of energetic and co-operative people who know how to put

their heads together to get the job done, Barnett says.

“We came up with some principles to guide us last time, which take a lot of time and energy, and every-one was very good and very positive.

“Now, I am just in the process of looking at some avenues and work-ing with [Thomson]

before the next meet-ing to see where we are going from there.”

Barnett says she does not yet know how the rural dividend will unroll, or in which budget the money will be found, but this will hopefully be on the next agenda with guidance from the minister.

Future resource industry revenues

might fund it, she notes.Meanwhile, the

RAC is “very interest-ed” in the community venture capital corpora-tion models in use in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick – one of them holding up to $50 million and paying out six per cent interest to its investors.

The number of British Columbians making a life-saving commitment is rising thanks to a new partnership between BC Transplant and Service BC.

Since April, 62 Service BC centres throughout the province now pro-vide a central location where residents can register and learn more about organ donation.

In that time, close to 20,000 people, includ-ing at least 91 in 100 Mile House, have regis-tered to become organ

donors.For helping make

the program a suc-cess, Service BC agents Mike Schulz and April Kennedy were present-ed with a Community Leadership Award by Edna Humphreys, a regional director with the Kidney Foundation of Canada, BC & Yukon Branch, in 100 Mile House on Oct. 16.

The majority of people in the province waiting for an organ transplant are in need of a kidney, Humphreys explains.

“You guys have done an amazing job,”

she told Schulz and Kennedy.

“You have no idea what hope your num-bers give to all the people [more than 500 in B.C.] waiting for a life-saving organ. Over 400 of those are waiting for kidneys. We really want to express our thanks by giving this Community Leadership Award.”

Service BC execu-tive Jon Burbee says the increase of subscribers, both locally and across the province, is “huge.”

“It’s 15 per cent more than the last five years put together. Ninety-one [registrations] in a community of this size really makes a differ-ence. The people that are waiting [for trans-plants] are people’s kids, loved ones and neigh-bours.”

According to a gov-ernment news release, more than 95 per cent of British Columbians support organ dona-

tion, but as of last spring, only 20 per cent were registered to be a donor.

“Registering as a donor is a simple, small step anyone can do to save the life of a person or family in need,” says Minister of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services Amrik Virk.

“Many people who come into our offices have a decal on their driver’s licence and think they’re registered; however, people need to be registered with BC Transplant to offer this life-giving gift and our staff can help you do that.”

Helping deliver a gift of life

Legal opinions need to be studiedWhile she is accepting Denham’s recommenda-

tion, Clark says there are legal opinions about what documents are required to be destroyed and what needs to be saved.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, who is also Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations for Rural Development, says she has to respond to Freedom of Information requests, but it won’t change the way she does business because she’s not a “high tech” person.

‘For people who are proud of their pets.’

HALLOWE’EN PET TIP: Hallowe’en is fun for you, but can be scary for pets and farm animals. Fireworks, ringing doorbells, laughing/screaming, and strangers in costumes can spook animals causing them to panic and runaway. Frightened farm animals can run into fences or other obstructions. Also, dogs that are normally friendly can sometimes act out of character at the sight of people in costumes coming to their home. Please keep your pets safe.

WHY NOT CONSIDERADOPTING AN ADULT CAT

Q: Is there a new ATV registration system?A: Yes. The Ministry of Forests, Lands & Resource Operations (FLNRO) has launched a new registration system for off-road vehicles (ORV). ORV registration with number plate display will be mandatory on Crown land, including resource roads on Crown land, as of Nov. 1, 2015. OVRs that will be operated in limited circumstances on a highway have been required to obtain registration, a plate, a licence and insurance since Nov. 17, 2014. ORVs operated solely on private property do not require registration or a number plate.

An off-road vehicle is designed for off-highway use and does not meet safety standards for on-highway use.The following are the eligible ORV vehicle types:

Golf carts • Snow vehicles • Snowmobiles • All-terrain vehicles (ATV) • Trucksters • Side-by-sides • and Restricted use motorcycles (RUMs)

Contact your Autoplan broker for more information on the requirements for registering, displaying a number plate, licensing and insuring an ORV.

LAW

Q: I drove a neighbour to the doctor. On the way, we had an accident. It was all my fault and I want to apologize - but I’m afraid that if I apologize, the insurance company won’t cover the neighbour’s injuries or pay to repair my car. What should I do?

A: Brenda Lee (circa 1960): “I’m sorry. So sorry!” Those who have never heard the song are forgiven.

Traditionally, lawyers advise clients not to make admissions of liability. In fact, traditionally, admissions of liability have led insurers to deny coverage.

Flying in the face of that tradition, in 2006, British Columbia enacted the Apology Act. This legislation provides (s. 2(1)) that “an apology made by or on behalf of a person in connection with any matter (a) does not constitute an … admission of fault or liability [and] (c) does not … void, impair or otherwise affect any insurance coverage that is available ….”

As a result of this legislation, you can apologize for your wrongful acts - but be careful! You can apologize with impunity - but if your apology includes facts harmful to your case, then the Court can rely on those admissions in reaching a decision in a claim brought against you. For example, in the Alberta Queens Bench case of Robinson v Cragg ([2010] AJ No. 1395), a lawyer apologized to a client saying “our registration of the Discharges was through inadvertence and I apologize for doing so.” The court admitted into evidence the letter containing that admission - but struck those words out of the letter. On the other hand, in another sentence the lawyer indicated that “…. it only came to my attention that we have mistakenly fi led Discharges of Mr. Robinson’s security when I received an e-mail … in late February ….” The court allowed that sentence to remain in the letter except for the word “mistakenly” which was redacted.

The moral of the story: apologies are permissible - but must be worded carefully. If tempted to make an apology for something you did wrong, you should probably seek legal advice.

Q: Will the recent changes to Old Age Security affect me?

A: People currently receiving OAS benefits will not be affected by the changes. In fact, everyone 54 or older as of March 31, 2012 (born before April 1, 1958) will not be affected by the change to the age of eligibility for the OAS or GIS benefits. If you were born between April 1958 and January 1962 your age of eligibility gradually increases from age 65 to age 67. If you were born after January 1962 your age of eligibility is 67. The Government of Canada also introduced measures to gradually increase the ages at which the Allowance and the Allowance for the Survivor are provided, from 60-64 today to 62-66. The 2012 budget also introduced a voluntary deferral of the Old Age Security (OAS) pension that will give people the option to defer take-up of their OAS pension by up to five years past the age of eligibility, and subsequently receive a higher, actuarially adjusted pension.

Q. Is a Variable-Rate mortgage for you?

A. With a variable-rate mortgage, your mortgage rate will move in conjunction with your lender’s Prime lending rate, which in turn tracks the Banks of Canada’s benchmark rate, and will typically be quoted as Prime minus a specified percentage.With another recent announcement of no benchmark rate change with the Bank of Canada, speculation is that the Bank of Canada will keep this trend throughout 2016. However, we can’t predict what kind of rate ups and downs might be ahead.The variable-rate mortgage is best suited to people who have a flexible budget and can tolerate sudden higher risk. Ask yourself these questions: Do you watch market conditions? Can you handle any sudden rate increases that could increase your payment? Most variables allow you to exercise an option to “lock in” the current fixed rate at any time for the remaining portion of your mortgage term or longer. Another benefit of having a variable-rate mortgage is that most lenders will only charge a 3 month interest penalty when you break your term.Lower-rate variable mortgages with a strong Prime minus offer give you the potential to save on interest.Contact me with any questions!

There’ll be plenty of spooky fun for children of all ages at this year’s Hysterical Halloween event at the 108 Heritage Site from 6 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 31.

The grad class from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) will once again be setting up their haunted barn, which this year has a “Carnival Freak Show” theme.

“There’ll be a few freaky clowns and characters there,” says Parent Grad Committee chair Holly Johnson.

She adds the haunted barn – a major fund-

raiser for the grad class – is probably suitable for children aged 10 and older, depending on the child and parents’ dis-cretion, but there will also be another display for the younger chil-dren.

Johnson says it will feature games, treats, cotton candy, and (weather permitting) a bouncy castle. The 100 Mile & District Historical Society is providing hotdogs and hot apple cider, and the grads will have coffee and cookies available.

Other family friend-ly fun includes a huge bonfire provided by the 108 Mile Lions Club, and a fireworks display

at 8 p.m. provided by the 100 Mile & District Historical Society. Both these events will be overseen by mem-bers of the 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department.

“Six firefighters will be there, along with the engine and rescue truck, to watch the bon-fire and make sure it’s safely put out,” says 108 Mile fire chief Marcelle Ried.

The firefighters will also be lighting the fire-works and making sure there’s no fire, as well as providing traffic control to help with parking.

It’s the first year that fireworks have been

Dividend pursued, venture capital

corporations studied

From A13

Barnett says she, personally, “would buy into something like that.”

“We feel that would be a real avenue to help small communities [like 100 Mile House] to help themselves; invest in your own community. But, there would have to be legislative change for that.”

Instead of investing in a registered savings plan (RSP) with mutu-al funds, Barnett says some rural folks on the East Coast put their money into a venture capital corporation offering similar income tax shelters.

“People in the com-munity own the entity. They don’t man-age it, but they have investment in it, so they make sure it is success-ful.

“We have to get innovative and creative because the world is financially shrinking.”

Key It Up! closing in on grand piano100 Mile Festival

of the Arts members reached a milestone at the end of September when they raised $20,000 toward the pur-chase of a concert grand piano for use in musical performances and the annual Festival of the Arts in Martin Exeter Hall.

After renting a piano from Kamloops for the annual Festival of the Arts, which is held for two weeks every April, the Festival of the Arts committee launched its project, called Key It Up!, early in 2015.

The piano they had used for years was near-ing the end of its life and it was difficult, if not impossible, to tune properly, so perform-ers would get the good, quality sound they needed in concerts and

during the Festival of the Arts adjudications.

So, the commit-tee started the Key It

Up! fundraising proj-ect, which is separate

from the budget they have for the two-week

adjudicated Festival of the Arts and the clos-ing Showcase Concert of music by speech students selected to perform by the adjudi-cators.

The local Royal Bank of Canada gave the Key It Up! campaign an early boost with a siz-able donation of $1,000 at the final festival Showcase Concert in April.

Since April, the fund has grown steadily with three large grants, and many supporters pur-chasing a "virtual key" for $300.

Festival of the Arts committee presi-dent Bruce Madu says they were definitely encouraged by the gen-erosity of individuals and businesses in the community.

The committee's

most recent fundrais-ing initiative was a cash draw.

Three winning tick-ets were drawn at the South Cariboo Farmers’ Market on Sept. 25.

Local resident Doug Harris took home the $2,500 first-place prize, while Diana Bergeson from Quesnel won $1,000 for second.

Local resident Lynn Robinson was handed the third-place prize of $500.

The small Key It Up! committee has tirelessly sold tickets, hotdogs, T-shirts and has applied for several grants.

Fundraising will con-tinue until the goal of $30,000 is reached.

For more informa-tion or to purchase a virtual key, call Madu at 250-395-7700.

It's time to get geared up for the upcom-ing cross country ski season. Folks can drop off gear they no longer use or pick up items they need at a ski swap hosted by the 100 Mile Nordics Ski Society on Nov. 15. The annual ski swap and open house event is taking place at the Nordics Day Lodge on 99 Mile Hill. “Let's have some fun and get excited about the upcoming ski season,” says club spokesperson Birgit Bienek.

The atom develop-ment Wranglers, sponsored by Bridge Lake Electric, played three tough games against Prince George and Quesnel last weekend. Gibson Fast, with assists from Braiden Beharrell and Devon Wisdom, scored in Game 1 against Prince George.Matthew Keller made a great goaltend-ing debut in Game 2, a 8-5 loss against Quesnel. Trey Pacheco scored a hat trick and Daniel Villeneuve added two. Riley Campbell made two assists.Villeneuve added a goal against Quesnel in the final game.

HArlEMCrOWnSThe Harlem Crowns are bringing their entertaining brand of basketball to Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School on Nov. 2, tipping off against students at 7 p.m. Proceeds from the event will benefit the athletics programs at PSO. Advanced tickets are $6 for students and $9 for adults and can be purchased at the PSO office. Admission at the door is $10. Children six and under are free.

Zones kick off in 100 MileThe ball gets rolling tomorrow for the North

Central Zones in 100 Mile House, a soccer show-down between Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School and three Prince George schools for a spot at provincials.

The regional high school senior boys soccer championships are something the resurrected 100 Mile squad has been building toward this season. They've had mixed success against Williams Lake and Kamloops teams in the weeks leading up to zones.

The action starts on Oct. 30. All games are being played at the PSO bottom field.

Game 1 pits PSO against D.P. Todd Secondary School at noon.

Game 2 is top-seeded Duchess Park Secondary School against PSO at 2:30 p.m.

Game 3, at 4:45 p.m., will see D.P. Todd Secondary School and Duchess Park Secondary school.

On Oct. 31, the gold medal game between first and second place is 10 a.m., followed by an awards presentation.

The boys wrapped up the exhibition season with three games in Kamloops, Oct. 16-17.

They lost all three, but the last game was eas-ily the team's best performance of the season, says coach Sean Glanville.

“PSO actually took the lead about 10 minutes in on a goal from Patrick Walker, set up by team cap-tain Reid Davidson. The boys were really pumped

to score a goal and they defended bravely and actu-ally held a 1-0 lead at the half. In the second half, they were more than competitive, but Valleyview Secondary School scored on a penalty shot and got the winner on an errant cross that somehow landed in the net.”

Glanville says he knew the Kamloops teams were a couple levels ahead of 100 Mile when he booked the games, but playing those better teams helped them improve.

“Throughout these three games we gained a lot of experience. It was a huge help as we prepare for Zones. I worried the kids might get a little down from fishing the ball out of their own net so much, but they all kept positive and enthusiastic.”

New paddles, balls, and nets should help expand the already fast-growing pickleball program in 100 Mile House.

Canlan Ice Sports was awarded a $1,500 grant from ViaSport's Local Sport Development Fund and used it recently to help out this popular local game and its dedicated play-ers with the donation of new equipment.

Pickleball is a growing sport among seniors; it's a low-impact, but fast-paced game that is quick to learn.

The game is played on a badminton-sized court with rules simi-lar to tennis with a few modifications.

“Pickleball is an excel-lent sport for anyone who wants to work on, or show off, their hand-eye coordination skills, get moving indoors with the cooler weather, and do a little social-izing,” says Kimberly Vance-Lundsbye, the community programs and events coordinator with Canlan Ice Sports. “New players are always welcome and no experi-ence is necessary.”

Court times in

100 Mile House are Tuesdays at the 100 Mile House Elementary School at 6:30 p.m. and Thursdays at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School at 7 p.m.

There is a drop-in fee of $2.50 with a rec-reation pass or $3.50 without.

Local player Lorne Landry encourages new players to give it a try, even if they have never played a racquet sport before.

For those unfamil-iar with the game, it is very easy to learn, says Landry.

“You will always feel welcome and will hope-fully have a good time while getting some exercise.

"Come out and see why it is such a popular game.”

Call Canlan Ice Sports at 250-395-1353 for more information about pickleball or other local drop-in sports.

A rested lineup, good goaltending and a strong penalty kill helped the 100 Mile House Wranglers take four of a possible six points on a three game road trip and sole pos-session of second place in the Doug Birks Division.

The local Kootenay International Junior Hockey League club capped off the trip with a decisive 4-1 win over division rival Kamloops Storm on Oct. 25.

The Wranglers lost 5-2 in Kimberley on Oct. 24 and beat Golden 5-4 in overtime on Oct. 23.

Even in the loss to the Dynamiters, the league's best right now with 28 points, there were some positives to take away, says Wranglers coach Dale Hladun.

Kimberley is by far the strongest team they've faced, he says, and they're double tough on their own Olympic-size rink.

The Wranglers though for the most part stifled their usually dynamite power play, allowing only one goal on seven attempts.

“Their power play [scoring percentage] at home was 44 per cent,” Hladun explains. “They scored on a 5-3, but overall I was happy [keeping them at 14 per cent].”

Against Kamloops, the team's third game in three days, Hladun says he was nervous, not sure how the boys would start. The Wranglers tend to start slow, he says, but not this afternoon.

“We had one of our best periods right out of the gate. The guys

were hungry to beat Kamloops, hungry to go.”

Zane Steeves turned away 44 shots, accord-ing to the scoresheet, which Hladun disputes.

“I thought they must have counted shots in warm up, because they did not [have that many] I don't feel.”

The coach made some healthy scratches in the first and second games, which went a long way in ensuing a healthier lineup against Kamloops.

“I think it was a good thing. Otherwise you're whipping your hors-es all weekend. Guys played, they played

good minutes, but they weren't so worn down.”

“Full kudos to the kids,” he adds. “That was a huge weekend.”

The Wranglers host Kootenay Conference clubs Creston Valley Thundercats on Oct. 30 and Fernie Ghostriders on Oct. 31.

“It's a good week-end for fans to come out; these are two good teams.”

Cole Zimmerman, Brady Ward and Tyler Povelofskie (2) scored in the 4-1 win over Kamloops. Ward, Justin Bond, Stephen Egan, Zimmerman and Brett

MartinNov. 6, 1949 to Oct. 18, 2015

The Family of John is saddened to announce his sudden passing October 18th, 2015. John had been suffering

a multitude of health concerns over the last years of his life.

John was born in Grootegast, Holland. Along with his parents and sisters, he came to Canada when he was a year old.

John did many things in his life. He was one of the youngest cattle haulers in BC, Broke horses, had car lots, restaurants and a store. He loved to collect vehicles and drove truck. In the early 1980’s, John retired due to physical disabilities. He still managed, though, to keep himself busy with these things he could do. He loved to collect anything and everything; loved making our home a home; loved spoiling our son, Harley, which is our puppy.

John is survived by his wife Charmaine and stepchildren Tera McDaniel and Jason (Krystal) McDaniel and grandsons Scotty and Aiden. Survived by his children Lisa (Art) Kahn and grandsons Kyle and Joey, John VanDerMolen and grandsons John Jr, Jayden and Ashton, Jennifer Villeneff, Hope (Ben) Chollete and grandsons Jack and Andrew. Survived by sister Lucy (Edward) Vandooyeweert and nephews Ellery and Troy. Predeceased by his parents Line and John VanDerMolen, and sister Jane Pollard, survived by her son Cameron (Angela) Pollard and great nephews MacKenzie and Theo and great niece Ashely.

John also had a loving step family. Step Mother Rita VanderMolen and her children Jody (Kevin) Conroy, John (Lori) Vanderwoerd, Bill Vanderwoerd, and Harry Vanderwoerd. They will miss him dearly.

John loved all his friends and family deeply and he will be missed by all. Loved his wife, Char, to the moon and back.

“Darling may you truly be at peace now. I love you forever. ‘Til we meet again.”

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

I heard your voice in the wind todayand I turned to see your face;

The warmth of the wind caressed meas I stood silently in place.

I felt your touch in the sun todayas its warmth � lled the sky;

I closed my eyes for your embraceand my spirit soared high.

I saw your eyes in the window paneas I watched the falling rain;

It seemed as each raindrop fellit quietly said your name.

I held you close in my heart todayit made me feel complete;

You may have died...but you are not gone

you will always be a part of me.

As long as the sun shines...the wind blows...

the rain falls...You will live on inside of me forever

for that is all my heart knows.

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.

Pollard, Verna

It is with heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of Verna Mae Pollard, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, on October

5, 2015 at the age of 80. Surrounded by her family,

Verna left this world peacefully.

Verna is survived by her children; Beverly French (Les), Michael Pollard (Joyce), Gary Pollard, and Bill Pollard (Jennifer). Also left to grieve are her 9 grandchildren; Alison, Doug, Michael, Bobbi-Jo, Tom, Nick, Brittany, Kristy and Luke plus l2 great-grandchildren and 2 more on the way. Numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, sisters in-law, brothers in-law and many, many friends mourn her loss as well.

Verna was predeceased by her husband, Bruce, the love of her life, in February of 2014. Verna was born in Alexis Creek and raised there by her parents, Doris and Gus Jakel.

Married in 1956, Verna and Bruce ranched in the Clinton area for many years while raising 4 children and making friends while volunteering in many capacities. The Clinton 4-H Club was one of Verna’s favorite groups. During her busy life, Verna also became a marriage commissioner which gave her many beautiful and unique experiences.

Family always came � rst to Verna and she was affectionately called “Nan” by all 3 generations. In her spare time, Verna enjoyed knitting, crocheting and quilting. She was also famous for her home-cooked meals where no one left hungry. Verna’s natural instinct was to care for others, not just family. This is something she sel� essly did and gave her such pleasure right up until her last days.

At this sad time, we would like to thank everyone for the cards, letters, love and support. There will be a Reception Tea at the Clinton Hall on May 14, 2016 and everyone is more than welcome.

Donations may be made to Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Verna’s memory.

In early 2015, Barkerville’s Eldorado Gold Panning & Gifts underwent successful foundation and structural repairs, preserving the character of the original 1930s building as per the official Standards & Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada.

The Barkerville Heritage Trust thanks Algonquin Contracting, as well as the Eldorado’s licence holders and staff for excellent work and co-opera-tion during the project.

On Sept. 26, a reconstruction of the 1934 Barkerville School (which burned to the ground in 1946) was officially opened, after four years of extensive planning and construction, and is now available for activities and programming.

A number of partners contributed to the Barkerville School project, includ-ing the province of British Columbia, Barkerville Historic Town & Park staff, C & C Wood Products of Quesnel, the College of New Caledonia, the Friends of Barkerville, Paul Galliazzo and Stephanie Waring, the Rotary Club of Quesnel, the Royal Bank of Canada, TELUS, West Fraser Mills, Willis Harper Home Hardware and others.

After 20 years of research and plan-ning, an authentic replica of Billy Barker’s Barker & Co. Discovery Shaft and Shaft House was officially opened,

complete with fully-operational wind-lass and sluice box displays and bench seating for interpretive programming on Sept. 26.

Contributing partners to the Barker & Co. Discovery Shaft and Shaft House include Pioneer Log Homes of British Columbia, HGTV’s Timber Kings, John and Hazel Massie, Barkerville Historic Town & Park staff, Dave Brown Enterprises, the Friends of Barkerville and others.

The 2015 Barkerville season resulted in a recent-history attendance record of 60,371 visitors between May 15 and Sept. 27.

This is the first year since 2010 Barkerville has exceeded 60,000 guests.

A variety of factors impacted atten-dance, including a number of recent improvements to the town and park, amplified earned-media and market-ing strategies, and increased overall provincial tourism numbers.

“The Barker & Co. Discovery Shaft and Shaft House reconstruc-tion will be a remarkable legacy for visitors to Barkerville for generations to come. We cannot thank the team from Pioneer Log Homes and HGTV’s Timber Kings enough for providing us with this lasting opportunity, and look forward to seeing the lasting results – both on site, and on film,” says Ed Coleman, chief executive officer of Barkerville Historic Town & Park.

The job of the chimney sweep is to remove soot, blockages and built-up creosote from your chimney liner, � rebox, smoke chamber and damper. This cleaning will help create a safer operation of your system during the heating system. It takes only a small accumulation of creosote glazing to create the potential for a chimney � re. Creosote is a highly � ammable substance that builds up inside your chimney or liner as a result of burning wood. The rate of accumulation can be higher if you practice poor burning practices or have a burning appliance or stove that is not working well. Different types of wood create different amounts of creosote when burned. Pine causes a rapid build-up of creosote and should be avoided as a regular source of wood. Creosote can also reduce the draw of the � replace and reduce

ef� ciency.

Chimney Inspections should be scheduled once a year. To be sure that all of your systems are in working order and operating as they should, it is recommended that homeowners get an annual chimney inspection. Most homeowners opt to have a Chimney Cleaning done every year as well, especially if they use their � replace on a regular basis.

Other venting systems connected to furnaces and stoves should also be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain safer operation. Fireplace, stove, furnace and heating appliance systems are important to your home and families safety and not an area to neglect or cut corners on. Don’t risk the chance that an undiscovered defect could turn into an expensive repair or worse yet – a chimney � re.

After much discus-sion, it was decided – with eight in favour – to cancel the Christmas Party due to lack of volunteers and

It is sad that our community does not care about the events the association puts on, as well as spending a couple of hours of their time to help cre-ate a fun evening that normally dozens of residents attend. The WLGLCA members hope that in the future, our residents can help

Nordics offer outdoor recreation for all agesGaven Crites

Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are fantastic ways for all ages to shake off the winter blues and keep active during the long winter months. The 100 Mile Nordic Ski Society has 45 kilometres of well-marked, well-maintained ski trails and snow shoe trails, including three new loops and sections lit up for night skiing. The volunteer run club does everything from equipment rentals, skill development program, adult ski lessons to trail development and

maintenance. “It’s pure delight to watch kids having fun and staying healthy,” says Nordics spokesperson Birgit Bienek , adding outdoor

recreation is a great way to reduce stress, nurture your body and mind, see some wildlife and explore nature. The trail system includes many geo

caches as well and people can join guided tours to learn the trails. The Nordics’ Day Lodge is open daily during the ski season from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., serving inexpensive, home-made hearty soups and yummy treats. The public is invited to relax by the � re, meet some like-minded folks, and chat with knowledgeable Nordics members.

For more information, call the Day Lodge at 250-395-2104. Visit the club’s website at www.100MileNordics.com or its Facebook page to see what’s happening at the 99 Mile Hill, the South Cariboo’s own Winter Activity Centre.Cross-country skiing is fun for

all ages. Nordics offer lessons for all ages and abilities.

Whether you do it for fun or competition, cross country skiing is an active way to keep healthy.

Fall is here. It’s now of� cially sweater weather! Our love (or not) for Fall and Winter means that we might become reclusive in our homes in an attempt to hibernate until the frost disappears. As the weather changes, so do our activities. As we celebrate the Year of Sport, we are reminded how many outdoor activities there are that remain equally as fun when you play them indoors! Basketball, soccer, badminton, volleyball, � oor hockey can all be played indoors. You can sign up for many of these sports as an individual or a team! Not into group sports? Try Tai chi, yoga, Polynesian or belly dancing or darts and cards. There are many local groups that offer great activities from sports to movement arts, � ne arts and social clubs. There’s lots to do locally to keep you active this Fall and Winter.

Have A Fun-Filled And SAFE Halloween This Saturday, Oct. 31stSaturday, Oct. 31st

SAFETY TIPS• Parents or guardians are recommended to accompany their children

when they go door-to-door.• Youths should stay together in a group.• Light-coloured clothing is encouraged; however, if dark clothes

are worn, it is recommended children and youth have at least one � ashlight.

• If a child wears a mask over the face, ensure it doesn’t obstruct the vision of the child.

• Before children eat their treats, the food should be inspected by a parent or responsible adult.

• If a candy wrapper or treat appears suspicious, have an adult check it out.

• When going door-to-door, children shouldn’t walk over the owner’s lawn or shrubs, instead use the driveway/sidewalk.

• Homeowners should put on exterior lights in the front entrance for the safety of the children.

FIRE SAFETY TIPS• Purchase Halloween costumes that are � ame resistant. Avoid

costumes with long trailing pieces that may easily ignite. When constructing a costume for children, always keep � re safety in mind.

• Children should not carry candles as a light source or as part of a costume. Rather, provide your child with a � ashlight.

Saturday, Oct. 31st• Educate children to stay clear of open � ames, and other heat

sources. Ensure that children know how to perform the STOP, DROP and ROLL method should their clothes catch � re. (Stop immediately, DROP to the ground, and ROLL over and over to extinguish the � ames.)

• Avoid decorating with candles or torch lights.• Ensure that combustible Halloween decorations such as crepe

paper, cornstalks, and dried � owers are kept well away from sources of heat. Keep all exits clear of decorating material.

• Purchase and install working smoke alarms and practice home escape plans. Ensure that all children in your home know the locations of all exits.

PROTECT YOUR PETS• Keep excitable pets in a quiet room away from the door out of

hearing range of the doorbell.• Candy and treats should be kept out of a pet’s reach. Chocolate can

cause vomiting, restlessness, heart disturbances and even death.• Taffy apples and suckers may be harmless, but a swallowed stick

can easily cause an obstruction or perforate the stomach or bowels.• Dispose of treats that are rotten or of poor quality. If you suspect

your pet has eaten chocolate, consult a veterinarian immediately.• Cats have much different eating habits and seldom are poisoned by

chocolate.

The public is invit-ed to tour British Columbia’s rugged, awe-inspiring wilder-ness, and encounter the characters who built aviation in the Northwest, without leaving their seat.

The 100 Mile House Flying Club is organizing a slide show evening featur-ing Chris Harris, an award-winning pho-tographer based in the Cariboo, at the United

Church in 100 Mile House on Nov. 14.

The slideshow will feature captivating images and stories from Harris’ new book, Flyover : British Columbia’s Cariboo

Chilcotin Coast; an Aviation Legacy.

Author Sage Birchwater collaborat-ed with Harris on the book, which tells the aviation history of the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

“His presentation is wonderful, all about the Cariboo-Chilcotin country as seen from the air,” says organizer and pilot Len Aune. “There a lot of amaz-ing shots.”

A coffee, tea and cake reception starts at 3:30 p.m. before the slide show at 4:15 p.m.

Tickets are $25; chil-dren 12 and under get in free.

Tickets available at Donex Pharmacy or call Len Aune at 250-791-5214.
