District of 100 Mile House Councillor Ralph Fossum has been select-ed to sit on the province’s new Seniors Advocate Council of Advisors.

He is one of 30 seniors who have been chosen by Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie (appointed a year ago) to make up the new council. All of them are active in work-ing with, and for, their peers in their respective communities.

Fossum says he now has the ability to voice overall issues from the South Cariboo to those who have the power to address them.

“[Mackenzie] holds the equivalent position to a deputy minister. So, she has virtually that same amount of lever-age with our provincial government to bring about important chang-es.”

Fossum adds he is confident his role will benefit seniors in the community in two ways. He not only has the abil-ity to bring local issues to high levels of the pro-vincial government, but he will also be hearing what issues other com-munities are having and what they are doing about them.

“I think it is a good group, with a broad and diverse range of back-ground experience. All members are seniors and have been selected equitably from each of the five health authority regions across British Columbia.”

At the first and only meeting held so far, the council members met one another, set

priorities, identified common concerns and determined how to communicate with one another, he explains.

Fossum adds housing is the first big issue being looked at by Mackenzie, and a report will be coming out shortly.

“Housing is also a topic our local AGE-FRIENDLY steering committee is looking at. We have an aging popu-lation here, and all of us are going to need some-where to live.”

As for how his new role on Mackenzie’s advisory council might co-ordinate with his local role in seniors advocacy, he says the AGE-FRIENDLY Rural Community Initiative actually involves a sig-nificantly broader scope.

The advisory council does not cover aspects, such as recreation, outdoor activity or com-munity accessibility, but there is definitely some synchronicity, Fossum adds.

He notes the chal-lenges for rural seniors often include difficulties in accessing health and living supports, such as in-home assistance that is not always available in more remote loca-tions.

Fossum says he has also seen indications that transportation, par-ticularly in many of the smaller communities, is a priority for the coun-cil, will be among the top items to be looked at.

There will be certain opportunities at the provincial level that do not exist locally, particu-larly through having a direct link to the Seniors Advocate, he adds.

The District of 100 Mile House has prepared its 2015 five-year financial plan and is ready to present it to the public after receiving three readings by coun-cil at its March 10 meeting.

District financial administra-tion director Flori Vincenzi says the 2015 budget of $6,256,120 includes a buffer for unfore-seen utility operations, based on

last year’s expenditures. Those included repairs and upgrades to water mains damaged during the 2014 spring breakup, she notes.

“In 2014, it was budgeted at $647,595 for utilities. So it has drastically increased this year, to try and accommodate for some of those breakages.

“We look at [the previous year], especially now with the

infrastructure aging ... it was an exceptional year last year, so we allowed for some of it, in case it happens again this year.”

Noting it is too early to know with the frost still in the ground, Vincenzi says, if necessary, the District will adjust it in June, like it did last year

Most of the 17 new officers were present for the 2015/16 installation ceremony at the Mt. Begbie Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons #183 hall in 100 Mile House on March 7. About 30 men attended the ceremony and then they were joined by wives and guests at a banquet in the Valley Room.

There is a men’s organization in 100 Mile House that some folks might not know much about, yet the Freemasons have been established locally for more than four decades.

This year, about 30 fraternal members and visitors turned out when 17 new officers of the lodge were installed in a ceremony at the Mt. Begbie Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons #183 hall on March 7.

A banquet followed in the Valley Room, and treasurer Right Worshipful Brother (RWB) Alan Boyd says it seemed everyone had a good time at both events.

Several guests and “a lot of the ladies” attended the well-presented banquet, he adds.

At the ceremonies, Brother (Bro.) Randall Schenkeveld was installed

as the Worshipful Master Elect, the leader of the group for the 2015/16 annual term. He will be assisted by Immediate Past Master-Worshipful Brother (Wor. Bro.) George Sinkler.

Boyd, Senior Warden-Wor. Bro. Dave Clearwater, Junior Warden-Bro. Rob Catto, and secretary Bob MacKenzie were also installed, along with 11 other officers.

Boyd notes Freemasons go back to 1970 in 100 Mile House, when the first group was formed with about 30 founding members.

It was constituted as a Lodge of Instruction by the Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon around 1975, as a sort of apprenticeship pro-gram under an established lodge’s wing, he explains.

“We were constituted as an official lodge on Aug. 20, 1977.”

That year saw Boyd in a regional role as the District Deputy Grand

Master. He says it was his first offi-cial function.

“We do have a few of those found-ing members still with us – I’m one of them. Jim Dunsmuir is another one in town.”

A few founders have since moved away but retained their member-ship, such as Jim McMillan, he adds.

“Next year, I’ll get a 50-year jewel for 50 years of being in the Masons. Jim McMillan has already had his for a few years now.”

Boyd says being a Mason is all about “taking good men and mak-ing them even better.”

“Certainly there is a lot of memo-ry work involved – if you want to get involved in the work.

“But virtue, morality and broth-erly love are three of the foundation posts of Freemasonry, and we hope that we can expand on that by tak-ing good men and improving their moral stature.”

Today, there are more than 60 local members, although some of them are non-residents, he explains.

“We will have 20-25 come out for our regular meetings, and a few visi-tors thrown in, usually.”

Freemasonry traces its origins to the local fraternities of stonemasons at the end of the 14th century.

While all Shrine Club members must first be Freemasons, that is a “more public” fundraising arm, he notes.

Boyd adds all Freemasons are men, but there is a branch for both men and women called The Order of the Eastern Star, as well as for girls (Job’s Daughters) and boys (DeMolay).

Men aged 21 or over interested in joining the lodge may speak to a local member for more information on membership and the application process, or call Alan Boyd directly at 250-456-7651.

Organization strives to ‘make good men even better’

Capital spending in 2015 aims at Alpine Water Main

“Hopefully, it will be on keel for what we’ve budgeted for [2015]. But, we are not alone, there are a lot of towns in the same position as we are.”

She explains connection fees and sewer and water frontage taxes col-lected in excess of what is needed for debt payments are transferred to capital reserves for unexpected projects, currently at $123,885.

“Those frontage taxes are going up five per cent a year as well, in

order to get a little more [for this], and it is strictly for the capital com-ponent of the budget.”

Capital expenditures are set at $1,988,000 for 2015, and if all goes well, the District will see some long-planned projects come to frui-tion.

“The big one is the Alpine Water Main [project], and this is proposed to be in two phases – but it is only going to go ahead if we get the grant funding [in October].”

The other budget component for the water utility is a pressure reduc-

ing valve (PRV) replacement, she adds.

Vincenzi says a sidewalk will be installed to extend up to Eight Street, and some aging equipment to be replaced includes a new bobcat toolkit, and community service and fire department vehicles.

If it gets to a point where there is unused money in the budget, it is transferred to reserves at the end of the year to keep the budget at a zero balance, she notes.

An example of this is the $179,000 transfer to the equipment reserve

that holds federal-provincial gas tax funding, she adds.

Noting the biggest capital expen-diture budget in the whole five-year plan is the jump to $4.45 million next year – most of it for the Well #4 upgrade. Vincenzi says that project is also conditional on securing nec-essary grant funding.

The District will present the updated 2015-2019 financial plan to the public on April 14 in council chambers (time to be announced). For more information, call the District office at 250-395-2434.

The British Columbia Nurses Association (BCNU) says the provincial govern-ment’s 2015 budget is inadequate to cover the rising needs in health care.

BCNU president Gayle Duteil says with hospitals filling to capacity, more elder-ly patients are being moved into long-term care facilities.

If those facilities aren’t sufficiently resourced, many of these patients will return to the hospital with increas-ingly complex needs and health-care prob-lems, she explains.

Duteil adds nurses in the province are willing and able to pro-vide more community care and take the pres-sure off acute care – but the funding needs to be in place to hire more nursing staff to fill these gaps.

“All the evidence shows that patients who receive adequate profes-sional nursing care are less likely to end up in emergency. They are happier and healthier at home or in residential care.”

However, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says there are always benefits from doing more for health care, but the current level of funding is “ade-quate.”

“As the population

ages, we, of course, always have to have more, but in order to have more, sometimes you have to pull it from somewhere else.

“So, when will enough ever be enough is the question.”

No one wants to see a senior suffer, particu-larly other seniors, she adds.

“I happen to be one, so I can really appre-ciate where they are coming from ... we all want to see seniors cared for in a special way, they are all special

to us – our parents, our grandparents.

“But we can only do so much, and we do the best we can do ... if there was more [money in the pot], more would be given.”

Barnett says the many less fortunate seniors with no financial sup-port and no family are the ones who most need the funding for long-term care, and they are subsidized to get what they need.

“I’m glad that we can do that for them. We all could be there one day.”

The 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre Society’s International Women’s Day at the 100 Mile Community Hall on March 8 was “amazing,” says executive director Sonja Ramsay.

She notes there was a great turnout, as 80 residents showed up for the event.

Ramsay adds local politicians were well represented that day with Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, Area L Director Brian Coakley and Area H Director Margo Wagner attend-ing. District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall and Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod’s local office manager Lynda Krupp also attended.

Ramsay says Richmond, Campsall and Krupp spoke in support of the work of the Women’s Centre and the end of violence against women.

“They all stood in unison for an oath and made a public pledge with the rest of the

community to live violence-free lives and support others to live violence-free lives.”

Ramsay adds the Women’s Centre board and staff feel they made a big impact and feel very inspired and sup-ported.

“We feel excited to pursue the positive relationships and con-nections we’re making in the community to

further promote and evolve the programs and services that connect with women through all ages and all socioeco-nomic demographics and in all walks of life to help turn stories of abuse into stories of

resilience, peace, inde-pendence and freedom.”

Portraits of the women in the Cariboo captured by profes-sional photographers of the Cariboo were show-cased in the community hall to help celebrate

local women and their contributions to the community.

Noting last year’s People’s Choice was a photograph of Eliza Archie, Ramsay says this year’s People’s Choice was a photograph of Sue Graham, who is strug-gling with lung cancer, with her head shaved because she is going to be losing all of her hair.

“She wanted to make an impact on people to get them to live healthy lives. Look what hap-pened to her – she smoked; she made dif-ferent choices.

“She wanted to be present in a way that would inspire people to live a different way, so it was pretty profound.”

Graham’s lifelong friend of 30 years Claudette Collinge took the photo that had an impact on everyone who laid eyes on it, Ramsay adds.

“Most importantly for us at the women’s centre, and especially for me, is becoming visible in our community and making sure we’re connecting with women from all walks of life and letting them know we’re here to support them.”

The Kamloops office of Conservative MP Cathy McLeod was among the dozens of sites across Canada that saw protests against the government’s proposed anti-terrorism legis-lation during a “Day of Action to Stop Bill C-51” on March 14.

Opponents are wor-ried Bill C-51 gives too much power to Canada’s spy agency and infringes on pri-vacy and democratic rights.

The NDP candi-date running against McLeod in the Kamloops-Thomspon-Cariboo riding spoke at the event. Bill Sundhu, a lawyer and former judge who has experi-ence in international human rights law, said Bill C-51 is “seriously flawed,” and “danger-ously vague” and puts politics ahead of pro-tecting Canadians.

“The threat of ter-rorism is real and the protection of the pub-lic must be paramount. However, standing up for our values and refus-ing to allow cowardly attackers to change our way of life doesn’t mean we must sacrifice our hard fought freedoms.”

Broad new powers without enhanced over-sight for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), provi-sions that could impact legitimate dissent, and the fact the government has not produced any plan to counter radi-calization in Canadian communities, are some of the problems Sundhu sees with the omnibus bill.

Sundhu is part

of a Canadian Bar Association team ana-lyzing the bill.

“The overwhelm-ing legal expertise is not onside with Bill C-51. The Conservative government has recently experienced half a dozen losses in the Supreme Court for violations of the Charter. This is a cynical government that does not value meaningful Charter

compliance and puts crass politics ahead of respect for fundamen-tal freedoms and the Charter of Rights.”

Speaking about the bill in parliamentary committee in February, McLeod said “the international jihadi movement has declared war on Canada,” and the NDP is sowing confusion about what is contained in the bill, specifically that the leg-

islation would allow the targeting of legitimate protesters, which is inaccurate.

NDP candidate blasts anti-terror bill

Continued on A7

The nominations have now been tallied to identify the people local folks submitted for Citizen of the Year for their outstanding volunteer efforts for the community in 2014.

The nominees are Walt Sherry, Lucille Armstrong, Josh Dickerson, Larry Rode, Ingrid Meyer, Richard

Bergen, Allan and April Roberts, and Lori Fleming.

The candidates are nominated by their peers, and the Citizen of the Year is then chosen by a selection commit-tee made up of past year’s winners.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett chairs the committee

and was one of its first inductees.

Being recognized is the “greatest honour” a community can bestow on a citizen, she says.

“They all come from different organizations and they do different volunteer jobs, but they all contribute so much to the South Cariboo. They are an amazing

bunch of people.”Barnett adds this kind

of public recognition also encourages others to get involved in local volun-teer work to help make a positive difference in their community.

Hosted by the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce, the 2014 Citizen of the Year will be announced and hon-

oured at the 21st Annual Business Excellence Awards Dinner at the 100 Mile Community Hall on April 11.

Tickets are still avail-able at the Chamber office (#2-385 Birch Ave.) and Andre’s Electronics Experts (916 Alpine Ave.).

Protesters descend on MP’s office“Under the legislation,

the threshold for CSIS to engage in disruption is met if there are reasonable grounds to believe a particular activity

constitutes a threat to the security of Canada. Previously, CSIS did not have disruption powers, allowing it only to collect and retain infor-mation....

“To be quite frank, if CSIS

knows of an imminent threat, I want it to be able to act, not turn the information over to another agency so that maybe some action will be taken after whatever has been planned has been completed.”

On March 8, women and men in 100 Mile House celebrated International Women’s Day.

Every year on March 8, we commemorate and cel-ebrate the achievements, contributions and resilience of the women in our lives and communities.

It’s something we should all do every day of the year.

This celebration of women has to start in our own homes and the homes of our families, friends and neighbours.

This celebration has to be recognized at our work-sites, school classrooms, board rooms, court rooms, council chambers and the legislature.

The fight for women’s equality is more than 100 years old with the first seed sown by the labour move-ment in Europe.

It has been a long, drawn-out battle for equality around the globe, and as we reflect on it now, there is still a lot of work to be done before women are truly equal to their male counterparts.

Today, inequality and pay equity are still problems, as women hold down the lowest-paying jobs.

Domestic abuse and violence continue to be in-grained in our society – a hushed up secret that few people talk about because of its social taboo.

It is under-reported even though domestic violence has claimed the lives of more than 100 women in the past decade, and in 2013, police reported intimate partner violence reached more than 12,300 cases.

Fortunately, there are anti-violence groups and centres throughout the province that are working hard to educate, to prevent and to repair the damage caused by the pervasive nature of men in our society.

We are fortunate in the 100 Mile House area be-cause we have the 100 Mile House & District Wom-en’s Centre to provide support for women of all ages and from all socioeconomic backgrounds.

The Women’s Centre is a vital haven for women and girls, who live in adult situations, in the sur-rounding communities, as the number of visits have gone up by as much as 1,000 visits a year in the past few years.

The Women’s Centre’s celebration at the 100 Mile Community Hall was a huge success – thanks in a large part to the new emphasis on public awareness.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme was: Make it Happen.

The 100 Mile House event did that by attracting lo-cal and federal government representatives who made a public pledge to live violence-free lives and support others to live violence-free lives.

These elected officials can make it happen through their support.

We can support the Women’s Centre with donations of money, food and other necessities for women who are seeking safety and protection.

We can support women by breaking the silence about domestic violence and speaking out.

Make it happen

British Columbia has one of the best education systems

in the world – our students consistently rank near the top in international assessments.

It is also a well-funded system. Budget 2015 continues to deliver significant dollars to classrooms with an increase of $576 million over the next three years.

We’re investing an additional 33 per cent for class composition through the Learning Improvement Fund.

We are fully funding the new, negotiated agreement with teachers – the longest in British Columbia history.

Total education funding will top $5 billion next year – that’s $1.2 billion more than in 2001. This is a substantial increase at a time when student enrolment declined by about 75,000 students over that same period.

We’re targeting more money for student

instruction because we know parents want more teachers and classroom supports – not more administration. They want more of their tax dollars to deepen student learning, not duplicate payroll functions.

That is why the provincial government is also challenging school boards to find administrative savings of $29 million this coming year and $25 million the year after.

We have to bend the administrative cost curve.

We have to do this because, while we’re putting more into the system, in spite of declining student enrolment, school districts are spending more money on administration than ever before.

Without school districts finding efficiencies,

administrative costs would rise to almost seven per cent of their budgets by 2019.

These costs can come down and should come down. All we’re asking

school districts to do is to find administrative savings to reflect the percentage they were spending 10 years ago – about six per cent.

At the end of the day, our provincial government is looking for school districts

to save 0.5 per cent of total spending this coming year, rising to one per cent in the year after. This is reasonable, it’s achievable and, to keep education funding sustainable and targeted to classrooms, it’s the right thing to do.

For the past few years, we’ve been working with school districts to find

administrative savings and we will continue to do that because the results speak for themselves. One district saved $300,000 annually by moving internal professional workshops and seminars to days outside of school session, thereby limiting temporary teacher call-outs. Another district converted board meeting processes to a paperless model and saved about $18,000. There are a lot of areas to look at, such as purchasing, legal services, employee wellness, facilities maintenance and transportation to name a few.

I am excited about this opportunity, with long-term labour peace, to focus on learning and even better outcomes for British Columbia students.

That means keeping a sharp eye to eliminate spending that gets in the way of student supports.

Peter Fassbender is the British Columbia Minister of Education.

School districts must lower costs

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:Canadians are paying a hefty

price for poor infrastructure.Homeowners face expensive

repairs when sewer systems back up under the pressure of extreme weather.

Manufacturing workers lose wages when their assembly line shuts down because parts can’t get to the factory.

Commuters spend hours in stop-and-go traffic, away from their job

and their families.All of that takes a hit on the

economy.Our public infrastructure is

approaching a breaking point. Half of it is expected to reach the end of its useful life by 2027.

Just maintaining what we have will take slightly more than what all levels of government – feder-al, provincial and municipal – are investing combined.

Instead of helping addressing

these needs, the federal govern-ment has cut funding for its flagship Building Canada Fund by nearly 90 per cent this year and next.

Pathetically, the new federal infrastructure plan will invest less per Canadian at its peak than the one it replaced.

This is irresponsible public administration and it couldn’t hap-pen at a worse time.

With today’s economic condi-tions, a soft jobs market and low

interest rates, there is a historic opportunity to increase infrastruc-ture investments, improve our productivity and grow our econ-omy.

Infrastructure matters – a lot.According to Statistics Canada,

half of Canada’s private sector pro-ductivity growth between 1962 and 2006 came from public infrastruc-ture investments.

Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party are building a team and plan

that will provide a renewed national focus on infrastructure. That will create the right conditions for sus-tainable economic growth to finally help our struggling middle-class and all those aspiring to join it.

By rising to the challenge and revitalizing our public infrastruc-ture, we will build a strong, more prosperous Canada and improve our quality of life.

Scott BrisonFederal Liberal Finance critic

To the editor:I’m writing in regards to the article,

headlined Hockey parents boycott anti-bul-lying event, on page A16 in your March 5 edition.

Shame on you parents for what you have

done. Your children missed out on a fun time.

A lot of work went into putting on this and other events in this community for the benefit of our young people.

Why not encourage the volunteers and

lend a hand instead of griping and com-plaining behind their backs.

This appears to be an example of “bully-ing” through the use of social media. If our children learn through example, is this what you would like to be teaching them?

I hope you will be at the next annual gen-eral meeting to throw your name in the hat for a spot on the volunteer list.

Opinion

March has been a good month for the British Columbia NDP, and it’s been a while since I’ve been

able to say that.Opposition critics fired a shot amidships

at the B.C. Liberal government when they began questioning the lack of progress by the new Auditor General for Local Government (AGLG).

This experimental vessel was launched in Premier Christy Clark’s leadership campaign, and two years after it set sail, it is listing, taking on water and in danger of sinking.

The original idea was to expand the B.C. Auditor General’s office so it could check the financial performance of local governments, too. Business groups were concerned about municipal taxes going up too quickly, with staff growing even as the province grappled with a hiring freeze.

Mayors and councillors began to talk of mutiny over that plan, protesting their budgets are already required to balance and are subject to annual audits.

But this will be “performance auditing,” Clark insisted, not just making sure the

figures add up. It will determine the public is receiving “value for money” on projects like arenas and services like police, by comparing different communities’ results. A new AGLG office opened in Surrey.

The “value for money” promise is on the rocks. The government appointed a quasi-independent board (hello, BC Ferries and TransLink) that hired chartered accountant Basia Ruta, a veteran of the federal Auditor General office who had also served as chief financial officer at Environment Canada and had done local government audits in private practice.

NDP local government critic Selina Robinson started asking why this office has spent $5.2 million and produced only one audit out of a promised 18.

Community Minister Coralee Oakes, a former Quesnel councillor in her first cabinet post, allowed that there had been some rough water but there is smooth

sailing ahead.Then came a big leak, in the form of a

“work environment review” of the good ship AGLG that was given to the NDP by a seasick crew member.

It described chaos below decks, with “shifting priorities and unclear direction,” as well as “wasted time and work” and “inefficient use of consultant and staff resources.”

Worse, the review noted a human resources monitor had been stationed at the office for most of January to maintain a “respectful workplace for all employees.”

“A peacekeeper,” as NDP Leader John Horgan described the grim scene. “This is like

we’re in Cyprus.”Then it was confirmed that when

the AGLG board tried to conduct a performance review, Ruta’s response was to hire a lawyer. Ruta seems to be decisive when protecting her job, if not when hiring, running the office or meeting her

own work targets.Whatever goodwill had been restored

with local governments over this experiment is likely gone. Municipal staffers have been dealing with new auditor demands as their councils grind away at their own budgets, and now they see signs that what they have contributed may well have been swept overboard.

Oakes remains on deck, eyes fixed on the horizon. An audit of capital procurement in Rossland is finally scheduled to be done by the end of March, she said. Similar reports on Delta and Sechelt are due in April. The latest revision of that schedule is underway, no doubt in another series of long, acrimonious meetings.

Clark addressed the situation in her last question period before the legislature’s spring break this week. She didn’t have a lot to say about the AGLG’s voyage of the damned, mostly familiar rhetoric about “lower taxes, less red tape” and so on.

Man arrested after allegedly ramming car on highway

PRINCE GEORGE - One man is in custody and police are continuing to investigate following an inci-dent on Highway 16 west of Prince George, March 11.

At approximately 4:34 p.m., the Prince George RCMP received a report of a vehicle being chased at a high rate of speed down the highway. Indications were that the victim vehicle, a red Honda Civic, was being rammed multiple times by a green Honda Accord in an apparent attempt to force it off the road. Multiple police units from the Prince George RCMP with assistance from North District RCMP Traffic Services, converged on the scene given the seriousness of the report.

The suspect vehicle fled from police at a high rate of speed when encountered. Patrols quickly located the vehicle stuck in a snowbank and abandoned on Telachick Road off Highway 16. Police dog service teams arrived and located a suspect male a short distance away. The investigation has led to the follow-ing Criminal Code charges approved by provincial Crown counsel against 41-year-old Nathen Tayler of Prince George, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, assault with a weapon, fail to stop for police, and driving while disqualified.

No one was hurt during this incident. It is believed that these actions were due to a previous conflict between drivers and was not a road rage incident or random act.

David Bobbitt declared Dangerous OffenderKELOWNA - The man who pleaded guilty to

confining, beating and raping a Penticton woman has been declared a dangerous offender and sentenced to an indefinite term in prison.

The designation has only been applied to some-where in the area of 500 convicts Canada-wide.

The Dangerous Offender provisions of the Criminal Code are intended to protect all Canadians from the most dangerous violent and sexual predators in the country. Individuals convicted of these offences can be designated as a Dangerous Offender during sentencing if a sentencing court is satisfied that the offender constitutes a threat to the life, safety or physi-cal or mental well-being of the public.

Someone has stolen 22 refundable pallets worth a total of $1,100 from the 100 Mile House Food Bank. Society sec-retary treasurer Kathy

Haveman says they were discovered missing on March 13.

“It is very disappoint-ing. I couldn’t believe anyone would do that.

“Whoever took them left about three in the middle that are unpaint-ed and of no value ... so it’s somebody who knew what they were doing.”

The four-foot-square pallets are about six-sev-en inches high, bright blue or brick-red, and are valued at $50 each.

Havemen says she hopes someone will see them and lead police to their return to the food bank.

Anyone with further information is asked to contact the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-395-2456.

At 3:08 p.m. on March 15, the 100 Mile House RCMP received a 9-1-1 call from a youth reporting he had been robbed.

The youth explained he was riding on a pas-senger bus between

Kamloops and Williams Lake when he was approached by a 27-year-old man who told the youth to give him his money. When the youth refused, the suspect feigned he may have a weapon.

The youth, feeling intimidated by the sus-pect, gave the man his money. Upon arriving in 100 Mile House, the

youth called 9-1-1.Officers attended the

Greyhound bus depot and arrested the suspect and a 15-year-old male who was believed to be his accomplice.

Investigation revealed the 27-year-old was acting alone, and the 15-year old was released into the custody of his parents without charge.

Further investiga-

tion revealed that while in Kamloops, the sus-pect also attempted to obtain money unsuc-cessfully from another passenger.

Charges are pending.Upon arrest, it was

also discovered the sus-pect had recently been freed from custody and he had not complied to court-determined con-ditions for release.

KING CRAB & PRIME RIB&

On March 5, the Clinton RCMP received a complaint about a possible stolen vehicle and trailer from a local residence in the 8000 Block of Cariboo Highway 97 in 70 Mile House.

Witness information indicated that around 2:30 p.m. on March 4, there were at least two Caucasian males on the property loading the home-owner’s car onto a flat deck trailer.

The vehicle of interest was a red, mid-2000 Dodge Ram that may have been used to pull the trailer.

The stolen car was a 1984 Red Pontiac Trans-Am and the trailer in question is a 2007 18-foot Ubuilt dou-ble axel enclosed trailer with British Columbia licence plate UXW73L.

One of the suspects was described as a Caucasian male, mid-30s, curly hair, glasses wearing a ball cap.

Anyone with information regard-ing the possible whereabouts of these vehicles is asked to contact the Clinton RCMP at 250-459-2221 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

The BC Coroners Service has made public a report examining the number of homicides resulting from intimate partner violence (IPV) during the past decade.

The statistics cover the period from Jan. 1 to Dec. 15, 2014.

Throughout that

time period, the aver-age number of persons who died each year from intimate partner violence is 14. For the current year to date, the number is 14. About three-quarters of the victims were female.

An IPV death is defined as one in which

the death occurred as a result of injuries inflicted by a current or former intimate partner (spouse, whether a married, common-law or dating partner), or the death occurred during an inci-dent where a current or former intimate partner was the intended victim.

Deaths which occur as the result of injuries caused by other family members (e.g. parents,

children, siblings) that are not related to inti-mate partner violence are not included.

The report also cov-ers only IPV homicides, not suicides which occur in the context of IPV homicide-suicide cases.

Over this period, the number of homicides ranged from a high of 23 in 2008 to a low of seven in 2013. The BC Coroners Service also

notes small numbers of cases, such as these, can magnify random effects and give the appearance of substantial variation where the difference can be attributed to a normally expected ran-dom variation.

A local resident has learned a group of scammers are calling people up in Kamloops, from phone number 202-545-6946, and pretending they are rep-resenting the Canada Revenue Agency.

The 100 Mile House woman heard about the phone scam from a friend and wants area residents to be wary if they get similar phone calls.

The scammers say the resident owes an amount of money and are told to go to a store where they can buy a card and put the money on it and then some-one will come to your house to pick it up.

The scammers also threaten their targets, saying they will send the police to their doors if they don’t co-operate. The CRA states it would never try to col-lect a debt in this manner.

CANADA’S CONSERVATION COMPANYVOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Please contact Chris Nickless: 250-395-2219


Along with the arriv-al of budding trees and singing robins, the imminent arrival of spring will once again be heralded by the annual Seedy Saturday event.

Dig out your fresh spare seeds if you have them and show up to the Creekside Seniors Activity Centre where the seed exchange is just one part of the garden-ing activities going on, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., March 28.

Organizer Karen Greenwood says a host of vendors are on board with gardening items and free advice to help promote local food security.

“It looks like spring is coming early this year and we always want to encourage new garden-ers to get involved. You can start by coming and checking out your local Seedy Saturday.”

Door prizes, co-op coffee and a local food lunch concession will be offered while folks browse the offerings and children enjoy an activities table.

This year, the event will feature everything from the Kootenay’s Stellar Seeds and bird-houses by Tom Godin to seed potatoes and early plants, she notes.

“TIMBER MART will also be bringing a selection of seeds from a few different [British Columbia] companies.”

Mojave Kaplan from Lillooet will advise on seed cleaning methods and other tables will include garden clubs, C.E.E.D.S., and the host of the event, the Horse Lake Community Farm Co-operative.

Greenwood says the Agri-Culture Enterprise Centre will offer information on its Community Garden project, and folks are also encouraged to ask questions at all the dif-ferent tables.

Noting Godin will give a talk on birding, Greenwood says there may be a line up of other speakers.

Admittance is by a suggested $2 donation at the door.

For more information or to book a table, call Karen at 250-395-3580 or e-mail info@horse lakefarmcoop.ca.

Planning is underway for Orange Shirt Day in September.

Orange Shirt Day Committee members Phyllis Webstad and Jerome Beauchamp provided Cariboo Regional District directors with a planning update for the September 2015 event on March 6.

The annual event is held to raise awareness about the residential school experience and fur-ther the reconciliation process with survivors, as well as to recognize and communicate that every child matters.

More information is available online at facebook.com/orangeshirtdayeverychildmatters.

Spring is sprung with Seedy Saturday

Orange Shirt plan update

Dear Canimites:So what do you get

when you put seven ladies into Margo’s Cabin with some empty wine bottles, corks, fish-ing line, and odd scraps of wood?

Well, some great sounding wind chimes, that’s what.

First they scored the bottles around the cir-cumference an inch or two or three above the base. Applying a bit of ice, they managed to pop the bottom off leaving a perfect-look-ing bottle but with no bottom.

A cork was then slipped into the neck and a line run through it, leaving enough at the top to hang the contrap-tion, and enough below to tie a wooden clap-per inside the bottle and a fancy wind-catching fob suspended beneath.

The chimes are attrac-tive and most pleasant to hear, each having a unique note depending

on the length of the bot-tle. Some will be up for grabs at the Community Club’s plant and bake sale on May 30.

Training for emergency Two Canim Lake

emergency medical first responders studied their manuals and took a weekend of update and hands-on practice at Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department Hall #1 to recertify as first responders for the department.

This must hap-pen every three years. Louise Kerr and dep-uty chief Ron Lister passed all written and

practical tests. They joined Manuela Boos of Hall #1 who quali-fied for the first time, and deputy chief Robin Clarke, chief Bob Felker, Colleen Felker and Cobina Parlee who recertified.

Canimites Margo Wagner and Sheila Hart are the instructors.

People news• Congratulations to

Richard Bergen on his nomination for Citizen of the Year. His name was put forward because of his outstanding ser-vice to Forest Grove and

our community.• Robert Brunet

has started a new venture. Using a cam-era-equipped drone, he’s able to take photos from unique vantage points for folks wishing to create one-of-a-kind Christmas cards or (heaven forbid) adver-tise their place for sale. You can see a sample of his work at the Canim Lake Store or find on Facebook at Robert Brunet Aerials.

That’s all for now. Until next time, here’s wishing you many blessings.

It’s one of the best casts he’s ever worked with, and the 100 Mile House Performing Arts Society’s upcoming comedy will surely draw plenty of good laughs, says director and sea-soned member Chris Adams.

The local community theatre group’s produc-tion of The Melville Boys is slated for March 26-28.

The cast includes Gina Gigliotti, Lacey Venner, Alex Martin and Brian Weir.

Gigliotti, Venner and Martin are all newcom-ers to the Performing Arts Society.

However, you wouldn’t know that

speaking with the direc-tor who says he couldn’t ask for a better cast in his directorial debut.

Rehearsals are mov-ing ahead of schedule, with only the fine-tun-ing left to do.

“They’re fantas-tic,” Adams says of the actors. “They take direction well. It’s like

they’ve been doing this forever. It’s going to be a great show.”

The Melville Boys is written by renowned Canadian playwright Norm Foster. It is set at a cottage on a lake. A monkey wrench is thrown into the some-what serious weekend plans of two brothers when they meet a pair of sisters, and hilarity ensues.

Another one of Foster’s plays, Office Hours, was presented to much fanfare in 100 Mile House last fall.

Adams has in the past played the part of the older brother in The Melville Boys in a different production, so it’s a play he knows well.

“Most of his plays are

very funny,” Adams says of Foster. “But there are some serious themes in here as well, which come out at the later end of the play.

It’s one of the best plays I’ve ever done. I knew it would go over really well here.”

100 Mile House Performing Arts Society president Renee Larochelle says it’s excit-ing to see new members this season.

“We definitely have achieved one of our goals of opening up and encouraging new peo-ple to come on in. Even though our productions are smaller, we’re still able to have shows that interest people to par-ticipate.

“It seems the com-munity has enjoyed

and embraced theatre in 100 Mile House. We are always welcoming new people to come out.”

Tickets for The Melville Boys are $15, and they on sale at Didi’s Boutique and Donex Pharmacy on Birch Avenue in 100 Mile House.

Showtimes at Martin Exeter Hall are 7 p.m. on March 26; 7 p.m. on March 27; 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. on March 28.

Adams says he’s excited for the perfor-mances to start, and adds he’s really appre-ciative of the folks behind the scenes, the production team and crew.

“I could not have done this without them.”

Fantastic cast for The Melville Boys

Cast members, from left, Gina Gigliotti, Brian Weir, Alex Martin and Lacey Venner are under the direction of Chris Adams for the 100 Mile House Performing Arts Society’s upcoming production of the Norm Foster play, The Melville Boys, which goes at Martin Exeter Hall in 100 Mile, March 26-28.

Before the start of an eight-month, 11,000-kilometre, Canada-wide journey on horseback, there’s a barbecue in 100 Mile House.

Veteran Paul Nichols and his wife, Terry, are setting off in April from Victoria, British Columbia to St. John’s, Newfoundland, raising money and awareness for Canadian military vets. The couple,

which run a family farm and equine facility in Quesnel, has started the Communities For Veterans Foundation (CVF).

In honour of the cause, Royal Canadian Legion Branch #260-100 Mile House is hosting a steak dinner on March 29.

Tickets are $15 and available now at the Legion.

According to the CVF web-site, the purpose of the ride is to raise funds for programs

that support veterans and their families, and to shine a light on Canadian veterans who “have made many sacrifices for the greater good, and yet live invisible among us.”

While crossing the country, Paul and Terry will ride with hundreds of veterans through their own communities. They expect the ride to take about 200 days.

“The idea behind our ride is to tighten bonds between com-munities and our veterans.”

Paul currently serves with the Fourth Canadian Ranger Patrol Group. He’s a for-mer member of the Calgary Highlanders, a Canadian Armed Forces land reserve infantry unit. He served dur-ing the UN Mission in the former Yugoslavia in the early ’90s.

Terry is a therapeutic riding instructor.

Local sledders kick off celebration

Musicians are tuning up for a big upcoming annual bluegrass event in 108 Mile Ranch.

The 12th Annual 108 Cabin Fever Bluegrass Workshops are slated for March 25-29 at The Hills Health Ranch on Highway 97.

The event draws dozens of musi-cians from all skill levels and is billed as a fun-filled four-and-a-half days with other players who share a love for bluegrass.

There are seminars for a variety of instruments, with ample class time, special workshops, jam sessions and concerts.

An instructor concert open to the public at 6:30 p.m. is set for March 27. Tickets are $15 and available at the front desk at The Hills Health Ranch

“You’re totally submerged in bluegrass, let’s put it that way,” says co-ordinator Rossetta Paxton of the weekend.

“This helps [musicians] maybe get over a musical block or to prog-ress as a band.”

100 Mile Legion hosts Communities For Veterans Foundation fundraiser

Four delicious home-made soups (shrimp, potato/cheese, ham and chicken noodle) were on the menu for the annual Teen Space fundraising luncheon at Interlakes Hall, March 1.

While the Interlakes youth group and its younger sibling Kids Space are spon-sored by the Cariboo Presbyterian Church, the youth have always attempted to pay their own way.

This year’s luncheon saw some 60 guests, who were offered all the soup recipes, donate $540.

The youth, who are maturing really fast according to co-ordi-nator Elaine Adams, did a marvellous job of making and serving the soups and fruit crisp.

Family additionThe community con-

gratulates Cambria

and Nicky Volonte on the birth of their first child on Jan. 19. Gaia McKenzie Volonte, weighed in at seven pound three ounces.

Gaia is Italian for “happy” and Cambria says she is just that.

Cariboo Regional District (CRD) direc-tors endorsed a new three-year agreement with the Regional District of Fraser Fort George for its contin-ued provision of 9-1-1 services for the Cariboo on March 6.

The new agree-ment will see savings of approximately $382,904, which will result in a tax reduction and build up capital reserves for future CRD infrastructure needs.

This move does not change the agreement reached last year with E-Comm to provide the primary 9-1-1 call answering service out of the Lower Mainland.

What are some dos and don’ts of kitchen remodles?Kitchen renovations have long been a safe way to improve the functionality and value of a home. But not every kitchen project is a guaranteed winner. Homeowners may inadvertently make changes that end up sticking out like a sore thumb rather than improving the space. Take a look at these kitchen remodeling dos and don’ts to guide your next undertaking.DO consider the way your kitchen will look with the rest of the home. Keep architectural integrity in mind when designing the space. A farmhouse sink and country cabinets can look out of place in an ultra-modern home.DON’T overlook the importance of a seasoned designer or architect. These pros will know the tricks to maximizing space and achieving the ideal layout of appliances and may be able to recommend local contractors and vendors.DO look beyond surface details to the structural integrity of the design. The kitchen should be functional, long-lasting and beautiful.DON’T design just for today, but look to the future as well. Unless you are willing to spend $50,000 every fi ve years, look for styles and materials that will last for the long haul. Older homeowners may want to make adjustments now that address potential mobility issues down the road.DO work with what you have. A complete demolition and renovation is not always necessary to achieve the desired results. Only invest in major changes if something is not working (such as having to walk across the entire kitchen to access the stove) or is unsafe. Otherwise, minor upgrades may do the trick.DON’T over-improve the space. A fully equipped commercial kitchen may be handy for a professional chef, but the average person may not need an industrial hood and indoor pizza oven. When you make excessive improvements, you may not be able to recoup as much of the money spent because your home will not be on par with the values of homes in the neighborhood.DO make sure you can afford the project. Plan for some unexpected purchases and plan out the renovation according to your budget. Skimping on materials or design because of lack of money may leave you feeling dissatisfi ed afterward.

Local curlers were among the top finishers at the 100 Mile House Curling Club's Ladies Bonspiel with a great display of young and old talent on the ice.

Laurie Rippon's rink of Quesnel defeated the Margie Folk rink of 100 Mile House, 8-6, in a very close “A” final at the 56th annual event, March 6-8.

Maria Hamilton's rink from Bridge Lake squeezed past the Lorraine Young rink of 100 Mile, 6-5, in the “B” final.

Joanne Doddridge's rink from 100 Mile House won the “C” final, 8-2, over local Deanna Zielke's team.

Folk, 75, came back from an eight year absence from curling to almost skip her team to victory.

She has had severe problems with her knees and has had to use a push stick to deliver her rocks, explains club spokesperson Wayne Venos.

“That is where the nickname 'Margie's Sparklers' comes from.

It's hard to keep this woman down.”

There was a real turn-ing point in the fifth end of the "A" final. The Folk rink was up 5-2.

The skip from Quesnel, Rippon, was facing a house full of Folk's rocks when she made the game-changing decision to try a run-

back double raise. “If she missed this

shot it was game over,” Venos explains. “Laurie pulled it off and started a comeback that Margie

could not stop.”Rippon's team includ-

ed Terri Matula (third), Linnea Hedden (lead) and Tracey Roberts (second). Folk's rink

had Trudy Folk (third), Jean Gilbert (second) and Debbie Messner (lead).

The Hamilton rink included Celeste Faessler (third), Cathy Bernard (second) and Lauri Marsh (lead).

Kris Alexander (third), Sandi Galpin (second) and Rene Zelt (lead) curled with Young.

Doddridge's “C” final-winning rink included Tanya Hammerstron (third), Shannon Knapp (second) and Brenda Bourassa (lead). The Zielke rink, runner ups in the “C” final, included Anne Topping (third), Eileen Bird (second) and Zen Venos (lead).

Three junior curl-ers – Madison Ardiel, Natalie Hefer and Elaine Hefer – did very well in their first ladies bonspiel curling with local club mem-ber Arlene Jongbloets, Venos adds.

“They went into two extra-end games. Although they lost both, they gained valu-able experience in their curling journey.”

It's an impressive way to cap off an impressive season.

100 Mile House's peewee rep team, sponsored by Primal Electric, went 4-0 and won a tournament in Clearwater, March 7-8.

In the finals against Clearwater, Colton Sanford started things off for the peewee Wranglers with a goal. Jace Myers and Ethan Sanders then made the game 3-0 early in the sec-ond period. Clearwater would get on the board next. (On the goal, goalie Ryan Balbirnie would fall on a loose stick and would need several minutes to recover.) Clearwater would score two more by the end of the second.

Sanders scored two in the third and Nate Wolstenholme added one to bring the Wranglers back and win the game 6-4. Assists went Sam Chabot (2), Myers (2), Owen Pincott (2) and Marshall Tessaro. Balbirnie won MVP.

"We bent but we didn't break all weekend,” says coach Cale Tessaro.

"It was a great way to end the year with a tournament win."

The peewee Wranglers finished the season with a 25-14-6 record.

The team handed out 2014-15 season awards:

Financial Tip of the WeekNeed help with yourPension Choices?If you are a vested member of a pension plan, upon terminating employment or retiring you will be asked to make a difficult and irreversible decision in regard to your accrued pension benefits. Your company may provide literature and informational seminars for guidance. Will this be enough to ensure that you select the best of the options you are presented with?At LifeCycle Financial we feel more is necessary.

Gaven CritesFree Press

A 100 Mile House Wranglers forward did something this season no other player has ever done in the 46-year his-tory of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.

Austin Turner went 50 games, two games shy of a full regular sea-son, without a single penalty.

So many big, hard minutes, and not one in the box.

And it must be said here that Turner, a 19-year-old rookie from Terrace, did in fact play big minutes for the Wranglers.

Turner tallied 15 goals and 21 assists in the regular season. He was on the power play and the penalty kill. He played both ends of the rink as much and as hard as anyone, no stranger to the corner, or the front of the net, where a lot of pun-ishing, rule-bending hockey gets played.

Which is what makes his record so unbeliev-able, says captain Devan Suidy, who has prob-ably shared more ice on the wing alongside Turner than any other Wrangler this season.

“He'll still hit, he'll still battle hard in the corners. It's crazy he had zero penalties. I've never heard of that before.”

Coach Dale Hladun says the record is shock-ing because Turner is always showing hustle.

“He plays hard, he battles on the boards, and to not even get a trip [penalty]? Or a little hook? Or a hold?

Or something goofy?” Hladun laughs. “Yea, it's pretty unique.”

Michael Lynch is another forward who played alongside Turner much of this season.

“He's a really smart player,” says Lynch. “He holds on to the puck well. All his stick lifts are smart. Everything he does is smart.”

Which seems to be the key to having this incredible sort of year: being smart, alert, and in the right place at the right time.

Turner says not get-ting a penalty is not something he thinks about heading into a game. But he does talk about being aware and knowing where his stick is and being in the right place when he's check-ing someone – “making sure you have the right position on a guy, so you're not in a position where you need to trip a guy to get him away from the puck. Little things like that you have to pay attention to.”

The previous record

for least penalty minutes in a season, according to the KIJHL website, was two minutes. It was held by two play-ers: Brian Hoodikoff of the Grand Forks Border Bruins (42 games in 1982-83) and Carson Cartwright of the Creston Valley Thunder Cats (51 games in 2013-14).

Being in the KIJHL record book is pretty special to Turner, he says. Speaking before Game 4 on Feb. 24, when the Wranglers were going head-to-head with the Chase Heat in Round 1, Turner had yet to earn a penalty in the playoffs. He said he'd like to keep it that way.

In the end, Turner notched three goals and five assists in 11 play-off games before the Wranglers were elimi-nated in Round 2 by the Kamloops Storm. Count playoffs and Turner had a penalty-free run of 56 games. But he finally did take one on March 2. He shot the puck over the glass in Kamloops. Two minutes for delay of game. What a goon.

Wranglers rookie makes league history

Gaven Crites photoWranglers forward Austin Turner (14) put a check on Connor Harding of the Chase Heat (4) during a Round 1 playoff game in 100 Mile House. Turner went for a KIJHL record, 50 straight games (56 count-ing playoffs), without a penalty this season.



Green Lake Snowmobile Club (GLSC) members gathered for a potluck luncheon at the club-house on Feb. 20 to thank, and say good-bye to, the Job Creation Partnership (JCP) workers who worked hard to enhance the snowmobiling experi-ence for local residents and visitors alike.

The Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation pro-vided funding for local unemployed workers to get work experience and some skill develop-ment training in trail restoration, general construction, plumbing and carpentry.

Now, all of the work is done except the wheelchair ramp, which will be completed in the spring.

The JCP workers restored, cleared and maintained some 50 kilometres of trails; upgraded the Jeep Lake campsite; and installed new signage, two out-houses and six benches.

They also helped renovate the GLSC

clubhouse, which included expanding the kitchen, meeting room, installing two wash-rooms, a septic tank, plumbing and paint-ing the exterior of the building.

All of the participants in the JCP project indi-cated they were pleased with the results and felt the program was worth-while.

What they said:• JCP worker Jordan

Wood: “I picked up a lot of valuable skills con-cerning construction and everything. Now, I feel like getting my own company together.”

• Project supervisor Del Westfall: “Things went pretty well. We had the workers in the sun, dirt, mud, rain and in the snow and nobody complained.

“They all did the jobs we asked them to do.”

• JCP worker Greg Philips: “Most of this

stuff I’ve done before. If I had got in early enough, I could have designed their septic system for them.

“I just did it because it’s better than sitting around the house on my EI cheque – it’s just boredom.”

• Project manager Peter McKie: “It went extremely well. We went

a little over budget due to unexpected engi-neering costs and extra material.

“The JCP project was the first for the 100 Mile House area, so it was a bit of a learning curve for all of the partners. The participants ben-efited from some great experience, so that was great.”

“JCP worker June Connon: “Some of the stuff I already knew, but a lot of it I never did ... little bit of electrician, framing. I definitely learned a lot and it will help me in some of the work I am looking for at this moment.

“It taught me a lot about the use and safety of different tools and I enjoyed the snowmobil-ing and working on the trails.”

BC Culture Days Ambassadors sought


He’s going to miss the people, the old-timers, but it’s time to take a step back, and there’s a lot of fishing to do.

Pat Ross is retiring after four decades at Century Hardware Ltd., the hardware store on Birch Avenue in 100 Mile House.

Ross started there in 1972. He moved up to the Cariboo from the Lower Mainland to start working in the bush. However, getting up at 2 a.m. every morn-ing wasn’t doing it for him, and he heard they needed someone down at the hardware store.

The rest, as he says, is history.

“A lot simpler times back then. When you walked down the street you had to walk with your hand in the air [waving] because every-body knew ya.”

During that time, the 73-year-old has seen a lot of changes

at that store, and a lot of changes in 100 Mile House. The best part of the job was the people walking through the doors.

Ross says he’s looking forward to retirement.

“There are a whole bunch of fish out there that have my name on them.”

Due to poor ticket sales, the Watch Lake/Green Lake Community Association’s (WLGL CA) Beef Dip Dinner

scheduled for March 21 has been cancelled.

To date, there were only 15 people interest-ed in attending and this was not enough to start the preparation for this event. The association is hoping to try again later this year and hopes to have a better response.

attended the Watch Lake-North Green Lake Volunteer Fire

Department (WLNGL VFD) Auxiliary’s annu-al general meeting held at Little Horse Lodge on March 7.

Events planned for this year include the Garage and Bake Sale on May 16 at the Sonny Johnson Memorial Fire Hall, Open House and Bake Sale on Aug. 1, and the Firefighter’s Appreciation Dinner on Oct. 24.

same as last year: Joyce Smeltzer, president; Kit Davidson, vice-presi-dent; Marjorie Hogg, secretary; Barbara Thurston, treasurer; and directors Gisele Poliseno, Gladys Klenk and Susan Nathane.

If you are interested in joining or want more information about the auxiliary, please contact the writer.

Seventy people thor-oughly enjoyed the 40th anniversary of the Lone Butte, Horse Lake Community Association (LBHLCA) luncheon at the Lone Butte Community Hall on March 1.

The event attracted area politicians, former LBHLCA executive mem-bers, people who helped get the community hall on the site it sits on today, and two of the association’s founding members – Alan Boyd and Evelyn Nelson.

Current LBHLCA president and key anniver-sary celebration organizer Chris Schmidt said she was happy with the event and the turnout.

“I thought it was pretty good. I was really happy we got those nice certificates, plaques and new flag. Now, we’re going to have to fig-ure out how we’re going to arrange them.”

She kicked off the cel-ebration by introducing the 30 invited guests and thanked them for their roles in the building and/or the recent renovating of the community hall.

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod spoke about the value of community asso-ciations and how they are the centre of most of the activity in their towns and communities.

She congratulated the LBHLCA on its 40th anni-versary and presented a plaque and new flag on behalf of the federal gov-ernment.

LBHLCA treasurer Byron Walton read a letter from Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett who congratulated and thanked the association for its continued support of the community. She provided a certificate of appreciation from the pro-vincial government.

Walton and Schmidt then made presentations to the Cariboo Regional

District Area L Director Brian Coakley and the Northern Development Initiative Trust director of economic development Dean McKinley – both the CRD and NDIT helped fund the renovations.

Former LBHLCA presi-dent Heather Nelson spoke about the history of the association and the com-munity hall, including how it started, the land swap, the fire and the building and renovating efforts.

Her humourous quips delighted the crowd during the lengthy, but thorough, history lesson.

The historic infor-mation in Nelson’s speech can be read at www.100milefreepress.net, or on the association’s website at www.lonebutte horselake.sofbc.com.

It was great to have a lot of the old-timers and the founding members come to the event, Schmidt said, adding they were sitting around and having fun chatting with each other.

She noted several peo-ple enjoyed looking at the photo collages hung on

the walls, including The Lone Butte Days from the ’80s, the 2000 New Year’s Eve party, renovations before and after photos, the OUT group activities and the Christmas parties.

“I was happy to see so many people from the government, old-timers and past presidents who were there to celebrate the anniversary.

“I think people like to be invited to something like this because it shows that we appreciate them.”

40th anniversary celebration a walk through history

Lone Butte, Horse Lake Community Association founding members Alan Boyd and Evelyn Nelson were acknowledged during the association’s 40th anniversary celebration at the Lone Butte Community Hall on March 1.

During an appreciation certificate presentation at the 40th anniversary luncheon, Lone Butte, Horse Lake Community Association president Chris Schmidt, left, shared a laugh with Cariboo Regional District Area L Director Brian Coakley, right, and association treasurer Byron Walton.

The BC Egg Marketing Board (BCEMB) has announced the terms of the 2015 New Producer Program that will pro-vide the opportunity for up to four new produc-ers to receive allocations of 3,000 units of layer quota.

“The New Producer Program [NPP] is important to the sus-tainability and renewal of the regulated egg industry in British Columbia,” says BCEMB board chair Brad Bond.

“Based on a recently completed review of the program, the board

has sharpened the focus of the program to encourage innovation and regional economic growth.

“The board recog-nizes that 3,000 units of layer quota provides an entry into the egg supply management system and is looking for applicants who can clearly demonstrate their understanding of the egg industry and

present a comprehensive plan for a sustainable and economically viable egg farm operation” added Bond.

The 2015 NPP will give preference to appli-cants from Vancouver Island and the Interior region. As well, permit holders under the Small Lot Program outside the Lower Mainland will be given priority access.

The 2015 program

will seek applicants interested in enriched housing systems or becoming a producer-vendor.

“The program will require applicants to demonstrate plans for growth and their ability to finance the acquisi-tion of additional quota to achieve a viable and economically sustain-able egg production unit,” says BCEMB

executive director Al Sakalauska.

The deadline for application is 4 p.m., April 15.

New Producer Program Rules and application forms are available on the BC Egg website: www.bcegg.com or the Board offices (e-mail: [email protected]; Phone: 604-556-3348; Fax: 604-556-3410).

For further informa-tion, contact Harvey Sasaki, program administrator, at 250-727-0155 or via e-mail at [email protected].

Ford an Expedition to eleganceThe popular Ford Expedi-tion gets a makeover this model year, bringing this 2015 version into a differ-ent class of elegance.

Looks:A completely updated front end aligns itself with the Super-Duty and the new F150.I like the look of the grille, large and in charge. The featured projector style headlamps with LED fog lights made the front end of the Platinum Edition tester look like a piece of jewelry!A raised power dome hood and nice bodylines certainly give this Expedition some class. The power retractable running boards are standard on this edition but I find they react too slowly for me when the door is opened. No doubt for some the boards would be a great addition while others might think of them being in the way.When you design a sport utility vehicle, it is always tough to give the back end some shape. As an engineer, you’re wor-ried about aerodynamics but in this case the designers still managed to match the back’s elegance to that of the front.

In The Cab:As you open the door, you are greeted by ambient lighting that can be customized with a selection of colors. The Platinum has leather seats, leather door trim and console accented by wood inlays. The dash is hand warped and stitched giving this cabin a very upscale look. The front bucket seats are heated and cooled. The second row folds flat along with the third row, which drops at the touch of a button. The command center controls everything from entertainment to climate.

Speaking of entertainment, the sound system is a Sony premium audio system that features 12 speakers and 390 watts of power.Safety first:Front seat mounted side airbags, safety canopy system with three row-side curtain airbags and rollover sensor. Advance-Trac with roll stability, tire pressure monitoring system, and trailer sway control are just some of the standard features.Roadworthy:The Expedition delivers on space, com-fort and functionality while driving like

a smaller SUV. Very little, if any, body roll. Steering is magnificent and easy, and responsive while changing lanes and finding a tight parking space.

Verdict:The upgrade this vehicle has received raises the quality, safety, and comfort to a new level.

Power:This vehicle comes standard with a twin turbo 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine that puts out 365 horsepower and 420 lb ft of torque. The transmission is a six-speed se-lect shift. 4.10 gear ratio. Towing is made easy by the transmission tow/haul mode, which helps keep you from gaining too much speed when towing downhill. The engine maintains its power band while towing up a hill keeping the speed and momentum constant.

Pump frequency:1w6.2 / 11.8 L/100 km (city/highway) Warranty support:Basic, 4 years/80,000 km. Corrosion, 5 years/unlimited distance.Powertrain, 6 years/110,000 km.Safety restraint, 5 years/100,000 km.Roadside Assistance, 5 years/100,000 km.Sticker price:XLT $49,299, Limited $63,399, Platinum $65,399.

100% ELECTRIC

NISSAN LEAFPresented by

SCRAP-IT

The all-electric Nissan LEAF tells white lies!

The Nissan LEAF miraculously cut a journey in half this week.I’ll explain. I took the plug-in sedan on a 43-kilometre trip from Vancouver to Driveway HQ, on 152nd Street, in Surrey. When I set out, the screen display showed that I could drive emission-free for 146 kilometres. Now I could have taken off like an F1 supercar and street raced all the way, because electric power offers instant tire squealing torque if you press the pedal to the metal. But that’s not me. Spurred by my ecofriendly driving the previous day, the clever car had decided earlier in the day that I could do 156 kilometres on a full charge. Not boasting but that’s easily more than 20 kilometres better than the average driver can expect to achieve. Okay, maybe my head

is swelling. The big 1-4-6 winked at me. I threw the stick into ECO mode and with two flicks of the wrist pushed it into the enhanced B-mode, which puts the braking power regeneration into overdrive, so to speak.I glided silently down the road, picking up pace ever so gradually in the busy city traffic. Rolling

down the hills to Marpole, I could feel the juice from the brakes topping up that battery.On the freeway, I hit the posted speed limit and

40 minutes later pulled into HQ. The display flashed 126. I had covered 43 klicks with the power required to move the car just 20! Such fun.Next week: More on the joy of driving electric.
