A bike park installed last year in the hills of Centennial Park was once again a hot topic at the District of 100 Mile House Council meeting on Aug. 25.

In May, a delega-tion from the bike park user group, Cariboo Crew (CC), appeared at a Committee of the Whole meeting to explain and answer to council on its actions in illegally building a bike-trails system in the forests of Centennial Park.

Councillors had noted downed trees and paths dug deep into the root system from this trail work, among several other environ-mental issues.

CC representatives Dalton Anderson and Clayton Chamberlain then agreed to come up with a plan to clean up the debris and secure insurance that names the District as an insured party.

At the recent meeting, District chief admin-istrative officer Roy Scott noted the group members had not been in contact with the District this summer to provide a progress update.

He said staff had ear-lier discussions with Hun City Mountain Bike Club member Steve Law, who is assist-ing the group in gaining insurance coverage, and Law said there had been difficulties in getting a response from the insurer.

Pine beetle, fibre supply and agriculture were on the agenda with local government and industry stakehold-ers when Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson visited 100 Mile House on Aug. 28.

Thomson said he travelled to the commu-nity on the invitation of Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and as one of his min-isterial responsibilities.

“We can read brief-ing notes and things like that, but you need to get on the ground and talk to the com-munities. That’s part of our job, getting out and engaging [with indus-

try] and learning what the issues are, and the perspectives on those issues.”

He talked to repre-sentatives from the Cariboo Regional District, District of 100 Mile House, Tolko, West Fraser and Norbord mills, the British Columbia Snowmobile Federation, local ranchers and other stakeholders.

“Our ministry cov-ers a broad section of government, so it’s important to get that broad perspective ... on issues of keen interest to our ministry.”

Shared forest tenure issuesThomson also field-

ed questions about the ongoing issue of com-munication between shared forest tenure holders – the cattlemen and the forest compa-nies.

Thomson said he appreciated the work of the Forest Practices Branch [FPB], which reported last March on how forest licens-ees mitigate breaches in natural range barri-ers, and recommended that action is needed to resolve disputes and poor communication.

“[The report] recog-nized that both forestry and the ranchers that are here are ... very, very important contributors....

“Our response to that report is to address

the recommendations to improve the com-munications – to work closely between the two. I look forward to doing that work.”

FPB’s investigation found ranchers and for-est companies also need to improve co-ordina-tion of their activities and interests.

Thomson said his sense is that this is improving, and steps are being taken to further boost the communica-tion between the two sectors in addressing the report recommen-dations.

“It’s an ongoing pro-cess and about how we make sure the sectors work together engag-ing with [these issues].”

He noted there is an accelerated level of logging activity under-way in mitigating the impacts of the moun-tain pine beetle.

“We have got to make sure we find that bal-ance, but it’s about how we ensure, when we approve those processes and the plans, that it is taken into consideration when they are working through applications, through forest stew-ardship plans, through cutting permits ... that we understand the inter-ests of both [sectors].

“My direction has been to make sure both parties and both sec-tors are talking to each other ... and working well together.”

Canim Lake Band (CLB) Elders, along with some of their families, joined thou-sands of other elders at the annual BC Elders Gathering at the Panorama Recreation Centre in North Saanich on July 7-9.

Lisa Haerttrich is the Elders activities co-ordinator for the CLB, and she says the benefits of these gatherings bring to its Elders “cannot be understated.”

“[They attended] to cel-ebrate a united journey to honour our ancestors and recognize our future through our youth.

“One of the ben-efits of the Elder Gathering is also giving our Elders something to look forward to all year long.”

Hosted by the Tsawout First Nation and the WASANEC Elders, the theme of the 39th annual gathering was “from

the past to the present for the future.”

The event features many knowledge-able and respected First Nations Elders and leaders, pro-vincial leaders and agency heads, and offers an opportu-nity to form new friendships and renew old ones,

Haerttrich explains.“The chance to see

old friends and family is also exceptional to their

well-being.”The $2,000 grant provid-

ed by the New Relationship Trust (NRT), facilitated by NRT project officer Lana Plante, to help cover the costs for the local group to travel to Saanich is greatly appreci-ated, she adds.

(NRT is an independent non-profit organization ded-icated to strengthening First Nations in British Columbia.)

Haerttrich says CLB Elders are highly respected and have many opportunities to spend time with the band’s other

members and youth through a great variety of events – ranging from cultural activities and natural plant harvesting to community dinners and sports games.

“The strength gained emotionally and spiritually at the gathering has a long-term effect on our Elders and reflects back to the youth, as well as upcoming Elders and parents.

“It is as though the Elders Gathering puts new life into our Elders and encourages them.”

Elders and family members from the Canim Lake Band proudly marched during the opening ceremonies at the BC Elders Gathering at the Panorama Recreation Centre in North Saanich on July 7.

Local non-profit organizations can once again apply for grants for projects, activities and events that strengthen and enhance the well-being of the community and promote volunteerism.

Each year, the Cariboo Regional District Electoral Areas G, H and L

and the District of 100 Mile House provide Joint Grants for Assistance to community groups.

These 2016 grants will once again help many community societies and other non-profit organizations make program improvements or building/equipment repairs or upgrades.

In February, some $87,600 in 2015 grants gave financial boosts to South Cariboo charities, including the Mt. Timothy Ski Society, which will receive $8,000.

However, Councillor Ralph Fossum noted during last year’s intake that the community groups

applying for these grants should understand the limited capacity of the available budget to divvy up between approved applicants.

Most grants are approved at less than $5,000, but in 2014, there were nine applications for $5,000 or more – some for as much as $50,000 – that totalled almost five times the budget, he explained.

In order to qualify for a Grant for Assistance, the applicant must clearly indicate the amount and type of assistance requested, and provide evidence of benefits to the com-munity, from both the applicant in

general to the requested assistance specifically.

Financial information sufficient to identify all other funding sources and to justify the need for financial assistance is also required with each application.

The deadline for 2016 Joint Grants for Assistance is Sept. 30, 2015 and late applications will not be consid-ered.

Application forms are avail-able at www.cariboord.bc.ca and www.100milehouse.com, or at the District of 100 Mile House office at 385 Birch Ave.

Community mem-bers turned out with plenty of support after a Walk for All Missing and Murdered group trudged tiredly into 100 Mile House on Aug. 26.

They have been walk-ing across Western Canada since July 18 to raise awareness of the multitudes of missing and murdered people in Canada.

With seven people and two vans, the walk-ers are alternating every kilometre and making side trips to communi-ties along the way.

When local Safeway manager Sean Watson heard about the group’s imminent arrival, he quickly jumped on board with support.

Sean walked them through his store while they loaded up on free food, water and elec-trolyte drinks, first aid supplies and other much-needed items.

Then, he and the Lakewood Inn donated a hotel room for the night.

The next morning, he brought the walk-ers both breakfast and lunch sandwiches while they prepared to hit the next long stretch of highway towards their destination, the notori-ous Highway of Tears (Highway 16), where numerous women have gone missing or been

murdered.The issue of missing

and murdered people is “near and dear to my heart,” Sean says, add-ing he went to school with some girls who are now missing.

“I lived in Prince Rupert and my dad was a police officer during the time when many of these people were murdered.”

Sean explains he was also compelled to help because the walkers are “amazing people” who need public encourage-ment.

There needs to be broad awareness and support of the campaign because the walkers are doing this, and other activities for the victim’s families, all on their own accord, he adds.

“They dragged the Winnipeg River all on their own dime. [Any assistance] ends up sup-porting the families that have missing or mur-dered loved ones, for either a support process or some kind of investi-gation process.”

Watson says he has connected with all the Safeway managers along the rest of their route to Prince Rupert and set up more help for them.

Chris and Mikara Pettman also jumped up to show their sup-port.

“Mikara was defi-nitely the one who found these people on Facebook and ... alerted the community,” says Chris.

Chris brought them food for the road and gasoline gift cards from the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre, where he is a program manager.

“CFEC recognizes the importance of their march for miss-ing and/or murdered aboriginal women [and others].”

He notes the 100 Mile Food Bank also

donated $260 worth of food and water and a $250 Safeway gift card, the 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre gave a $50 gas card, the Bicycle Tree bistro brought hot cof-fee, Canim Lake Band helped financially, and various other com-munity members, including Peggy Dawn Reed, also stepped up for the walkers.

It’s Just Not Fair! If you don’t believe that the word “fair” is meaningless, try

being a lawyer for a year or two – especially in the area of family law. The vast majority of separating couples just want to be “fair.” (On the other hand, there are a few who just want to punish!)

For many years, the rules for dividing matrimonial property tended to lead to a 50:50 split of the things the couple owned. In that scenario, it was not unusual for lawyers to hear their clients complain about the fact that “he/she had nothing when I married him/her! Why should he/she get half of what we own?” Then, in 2013, we switched to a regime which, to greatly oversimplify, now provides that each member of the couple takes away what he or she came into the relationship with and the couple then splits the increase in value – or, heaven forbid, the couple splits the new liabilities. Now, of course, the complaints are the mirror image of the old complaints: “I gave him/her the best 15 years of my life, why shouldn’t we split everything?”

One of the other problems which the new system has created is the problem of record-keeping. It is all very well to tell your lawyer that you brought $300,000 into the relationship - but the question is: can you prove it? We have probably all heard the common refrain that you should keep your records for 7 years. The reality is that there are some records which you should keep forever. You say that you had $300,000 in the bank in 1990. Prove it! You say that all the records were in a box in the basement and your ex has destroyed them. Bad luck!

So, when it comes to matrimonial property, the system changed signifi cantly in 2013. Of course, there are still just as many people as there used to be who think it’s not fair.

Emergency Crews responded to a single vehicle collision on Highway 97 near Maze Lake Road, north of Lac la Hache, on Sept. 8. The male driver of a Volkswagen Jetta trav-elling north lost control of the vehicle and it flipped several times before it came to rest on it’s roof. The driver was removed from the vehicle by rescue crews and he was air-lifted from the scene to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops with lower body injuries.

On Sept. 1, Health Minister Terry Lake toured the South Cariboo Health Centre, which includes 100 Mile District General Hospital and Fischer Place/Mill Site Lodge (FPMSL).

Ministerial commu-nity visits are best done while legislature is not in session, he noted.

“It is an opportunity to see health facilities in the Cariboo, so we are here, in Williams Lake and in Quesnel to actually see the physical facilities, but also to talk with Interior Health [IH] physicians as we did this morning [Sept. 1].”

Lake explained he also met with Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District chair John Massier and C a r i b o o - C h i l c o t i n MLA Donna Barnett (who were also along for the tour).

“We know we have 15 long-term residen-tial care spaces that we built here ... and people are very anxious to get those beds utilized now. The challenge is being sure there is enough critical mass to operate that 15-bed unit effi-ciently.”

When asked, Lake agreed the process sometimes involves long-term care residents being placed in other municipalities where there is space for them, leaving their family and communities behind.

Wanting to stay near one’s former home is “totally understand-able,” he said, but facilities do need to operate efficiently.

“You need to have a 15-bed unit really oper-ating to capacity ... so if there is only demand for say, five of those spaces, it is more ... efficient if you have someone looked after in another community where they have the critical mass [the minimum amount of users required to start or maintain a venture].

“Unfortunately, that’s the reality of health care. You have to bal-ance budgets ... you

have to operate in a way that is responsible to the taxpayers.”

Lake noted this placement process is a balance between effi-ciencies and meeting community needs.

“[IH], like every health authority, is challenged with hav-ing a budget that isn’t increasing at seven, eight, nine per cent each year; it’s increasing at two-and-a-half, three per cent.”

As the population ages, there are more demands on the sys-tem, and IH looks at community needs and reports back to the ministry every year, he added.

“It may be the next year it will show there is the critical mass [at FPMSL]; I don’t want to speculate on that. But it is not that [the 15 beds] will sit there unused forever.”

During his visit, Lake said he and local stake-holders talked about what is called “alternate level of care” for long-

term patients.“They are in hospital

acute care waiting for placement in complex care. Right now, there are, I think, two, out of 16 [local hospital beds].

The health minister said a 10-12 per cent level of alternate care is “not unusual” across the province.

“Now, of course,

we have the office of the Seniors Advocate [Isobel Mackenzie]. She is going to standardize reporting with all health authorities – so for the public, and for families, they are able to get that information and there is clarity.”

Lake added the thinks the province’s health authorities “by-and-

large do a good job” of trying to meet people’s needs closest to home as much as possible.

“Something that [Premier Christy Clark] has charged me with is looking at end of life care, and making sure ... we have supports in place.”

This includes at hos-pitals and care facilities as well as in home sup-ports, he noted.

Others in the tour included Cariboo Regional District Area H Director Margo Wagner, District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall, IH representatives and other stakeholders.

In requesting coun-cil’s direction on the matter, Scott noted Dalton had also not responded to staff e-mails by the Aug. 18 imposed deadline.

Mayor Mitch Campsal l and Councillors Bill Hadden and Spence Henderson discussed whether to allow the group more time to resolve the out-standing issues. (Coun. Dave Mingo was absent and Coun. Ralph Fossum is on leave.)

Hadden noted the trees felled by the CC were attracting fir bark beetles and a lot of cleanup burning will be needed once the fire ban is lifted.

“We now have that downstream problem because of their actions and we, the landowners, are going to have to pay to [mitigate it].”

Hadden said he believes the park is “not really conducive to this kind of activity” and he prefers to see mountain biking happen at the 99 Mile bike trails.

Campsall said he supports CC members who had gone to a lot of effort to install the park.

“I’d like to find a way to make this work.”

Henderson said he would like to know what the hold up is on insurance, but indicated limited support for the idea of an extension.

To go along with the others for a unanimous vote, Hadden reluc-tantly agreed to allow

more time for the group to get their insurance done, and to clean up the debris under staff supervision.

“It’s progress, I sup-pose.”

A letter was e-mailed the next day to advise Anderson of the “one last time” extension and ask him to attend the Sept. 15 council meeting, along with proof of insurance and a work plan.

Anderson said the group is pleased to have gained more time on its overdue actions.

“[Getting insurance] has been a slow pro-cess; it doesn’t happen overnight. But, I don’t think council realized we have been working towards insurance this entire time.”

He explained CC will clean up the debris this winter, and is actively

trying to get the insur-ance issue settled by Sept. 15.

Chamberlain said volunteers would be really appreciated to help the group (and District staff) with the big job of burning the fallen timber.

Noting the 99 Mile bike park is too flat and consists of gravel and weeds, he added the new park has the “perfect” hilly terrain, firm trails and canopy of trees, with important access to water.

Both CC members said their goal is to make the park suitable for all levels of moun-tain bikers, and they are pursuing grant funding.

To volunteer with the bike park cleanup, call Anderson at 250-706-9862 or e-mail [email protected].

Predator sightings in the South Cariboo are on the rise again with bears chowing down at apple-tree “buffets” and other residential attrac-tants.

100 Mile House Conservation Officer Colin Kravontka says increased bear sight-ings are currently being reported at the 105 Mile, 108 Mile Ranch, 100 Mile House, Green Lake, Bridge Lake and various other outlying areas.

“There are lots of ber-ries out there for them, but those are starting to dry up, so they are start-ing to wander through the urban areas.”

As long as residents control their attractants, such as picking and cleaning up ripe apples, locking garbage and pet foods up, taking down bird feeders and avoid-ing/dealing with smelly compost piles, the bears will move on, he notes.

“There have been a number of sightings, but for the most part they are still accessing their natural foods.

“There have been a

few people startled by bears just because they haven’t been [expect-ing] them.”

Meanwhile, cougar sightings have been down over the past few months, but year-to-date, they are on par with normal levels, he adds.

“There have been lots of deer sighted this year and lots of fawns – there are a lot of the young deer running around.”

Plenty of rabbits and hares are also in the area right now, so that could be a reason why the conservation officers (Cos) are not getting any cougar com-plaints, he explains.

“Cougars are out there – they are always around and they have fairly big territories – but if they can access their natural foods, that is what they are going to do.

“Usually when we have problems is when they are sick or injured, or the food supply is low. Right now, it has been good.”

Even through inad-vertent attractants, such as homeowners forget-ting about their fallen tree fruit, a fed bear is a dead bear, he says,

adding bear sows will pass on learned gar-bage-rummaging and yard-foraging behav-iour to their cubs and then COs must destroy the whole family unit.

This is not an out-come anyone wants to see, so Kravontka stresses the onus is on the residents to manage their attractants.

This is the time of year that bears roam around looking for food as they prepare for winter.

This year, we had an early spring with warm temperatures that produced great berry crops, which kept the bears well fed.

However, the berry crops and other sources of vegetation, which make up 80 per cent of a bear’s diet, are drying up now.

They are on the prowl now for food and lots of it.Bears need huge stores of fat to survive the winter

and they can consume up to 20,000 calories a day.They become voracious eaters in the fall, and

when they cannot get what they need in the bush, bears start looking for fast food – also known as hu-man food.

Local conservation officers are receiving a lot of calls about increased bear sightings in the South Cariboo, as they migrate to where food is easier to find – in our neighbourhoods.

Hungry bears are going to go where there is an abundance of food – gardens, fruit trees and garbage or other rotting food on our property.

Bears have a keen sense of smell – much keener than that of a dog – and that helps them locate food at great distances.

Sows will pass on their skills of garbage rummag-ing and other urban foraging to their cubs – the same skills they learned from their mothers.

Once a bear becomes habituated to human food, it leads to potential conflict with humans, which is dangerous for both the bears and humans.

Conservation officers are then forced to destroy a family of bears and nobody likes that.

So, we must take care of the attractants that lure bears to our homes. However, they will move through our neighbourhoods without stopping if we bear-proof our yards.

If we don’t, they will quickly harvest fruit trees, our gardens and berry bushes. So we have to pick up the fruit that falls under the trees and harvest the crops early.

Bears also love bird feeders because they’re a great source of calories, so it’s best to wait to put the feed-ers out until after the bears go into hibernation.

They are also attracted compost, pet food and bar-becues, so all of these have to be managed properly.

It’s important to know that garbage accounts for 55 per cent of the calls the Conservation Officer Service receives about bear sightings.

So, we have to make sure we handle our garbage responsibly. If we leave garbage in cans that aren’t secured or locked in an outbuilding, it’s going to at-tract any bears that are in the area.

To learn how to properly manage your garbage and bear proof your property, go to https://wildsafebc.com. It’s an excellent website to learn about bear proofing.

If we don’t manage attractants properly, we are ultimately responsible for garbage-habituated bears and, eventually, their demise.

Save a bear

To help small businesses, which cover all stripes

of the political spectrum, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) has put questions to all party leaders on the issues that we know matter most, including spending, taxes, and red tape.

Responses will be posted on our website at cfib.ca.

We released the list of policy commitments we would like to see leaders make based on our frequent surveys of small-business owners. Below are some of the issues we are following carefully:

• A balanced budget and government spending

Controlling government spending and debt is supported by 86 per cent of the 6,874 small businesses that responded to a poll last fall on questions that political parties should include in their platforms.

A specific commitment is

that governments balance the budget - something all party leaders have said they would do. Business owners would also like to see more fairness between public- and private-sector wages and benefits (currently, federal public-sector employees earn over 30 per cent more in wages and benefits relative to the same job in the private sector).

• TaxesThe total tax burden

consistently ranks among the top challenges for small-business owners across Canada on CFIB surveys.

One tax issue, sure to get attention during this election campaign, is whether Canada Pension Plan premiums should be increased to ultimately fund higher payouts.

Small-business owners and

the general public believe there are better ways to help Canadians save for

retirement. For example, reducing the tax load in other areas to allow more money to be put into savings or creating some form of incentive like a one-time match to an RRSP contribution to encourage saving.

Another tax issue is the reduction of the small business corporate tax rate, an idea originally brought forward by the NDP in the last federal election. The rate is currently scheduled to be reduced from 11 per cent to nine per cent over four years. All parties seem to agree with this direction.

• Red tapeReducing red tape is a

high-priority issue that all

parties support. The Red Tape Reduction Act, which eliminates one regulation (and equivalent burden) for every new one introduced, had near unanimous support: 245 votes in favour and one opposed. There has been a lot of good work done in this area, some of it started with the previous Liberal government. However, there is a lot more heavy lifting to be done, and 71 per cent of small-business owners want to see commitments to this effect in the platforms.

In particular, small businesses would like to see the federal government take a page out of British Columbia’s policy book and set a red tape reduction target. B.C. reduced its red tape by over 40 per cent relative to its 2001 baseline.

Federal parties should commit to at least a 20-per-cent reduction.

To the editor:Re: Chief judge reviews

online court records (www.100milefreepress.net, Aug. 20).

As a landlord in this province, I would first like to state I very much appreciate having limited access to public court records pertaining to potential tenants.

Court Services Online (CSO) is

just one valuable tool I can use to help determine the suitability of an applicant, not just with respect to my own personal and professional interests, but also for the sake of doing what I can to ensure that all of my tenants remain safe in their homes.

While I take the necessary time to look at and consider the nature of any charges, dates, participants,

and possible dispositions, I do feel this information is presented in a manner that may not be cor-rectly interpreted by some people, although I do not believe the solu-tion is to remove public access to this information.

Recently, I was able to use CSO as a resource to engage a tenant applicant in a direct, honest con-versation about their past criminal

convictions and current parole conditions.

I am proud to say that this led to a successful tenancy for someone who may not have otherwise been able to secure decent and afford-able accommodations due to their history.

I value having public access to this information and believe it can positively serve our society if used

with appropriate diligence.Perhaps something can be done

to educate employers, landlords, and others so that CSO can con-tinue to be used in a manner that does not unduly penalize people for merely having had contact with our court system.

To the editor:There are those of us who will argue their

income and livelihood takes priority over the health and well-being of neighbours and the environment suffer.

Just because ranchers and/or farmers feel it is their right to have “invasive” weeds sprayed along the roads, does not mean our children and the aquifers from which we

drink should be contaminated.I will not go into details trying to defend a

rhetorical argument; it’s like someone argu-ing the oil fields with someone employed there … not going to win.

The gist of this letter is that the chemicals sprayed so liberally in weed “control” contain cancer-causing agents, such as glyphosates.

These chemicals leach into the water our

families drink, not to mention they have only been used for a generation or so, and farming has been taking place for thousands of years quite successfully without them.

Why do we allow this poison to be sprayed on our lands?

Having grown up here in 100 Mile House, I understand the mindset of “man up, its good for you;” unfortunately, that ideology

is no longer valid as poisons are sold to us peasants as “weed control.” Stop spraying our country with unnecessary poisons and look for natural alternatives.

I write this as a concerned engineer, neighbour and organic horticulturalist.

Ross FrameKelowna


To the editor:When there’s a drought, people

understand the long-term implica-tions but still need to be prodded into cutting back on their water consumption.

Most people do it willingly and a few cheat. But none of us expect the restrictions to be lifted until the reservoirs are once again filled to a prudent level.

Where does this collective com-mon sense go when there’s an

election?Canada is teetering on the edge of

a recession and the global economy is facing what could be called an economic drought.

Our politicians, even the arrogant ones who preach fiscal restraint and rant against government handouts, are tossing around expensive elec-tion promises as if they are empty water bottles and then claiming only their party has the magic necessary to create the rain to fill them.

Some voters, who hope to get something for nothing, flock to the party promising the biggest bottles. We could blame the politicians for their charlatan-like behaviour; how-ever, they are merely pandering to the wants, wishes and whims of the voters.

Apparently many of us hate the thought of having to live within our means.

Lloyd AtkinsVernon

Online convictions help landlord

Stop spraying with unnecessary poisons

Need to live within our means

Of all the immature, ignorant whining that came out of the recent power failure in the

Lower Mainland, one example summed up the decline of our urban culture for me.

It wasn’t the people who flooded 9-1-1 with calls demanding to know when their power would be restored, or complaining about their freezers. It wasn’t those on Twitter insisting BC Hydro pay for food that went bad. It was another social media moment.

With part of his community without electricity for a third day, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart went to his Facebook page, which has a wide following. There he pleaded with residents to stop phoning city hall to demand that a local big-box supermarket provide milk and eggs.

Power had been restored at the store only a few hours before, in the dead of night, and it’s safe to assume that all stores were working flat out to restock perishables.

Where do people get the notion that city

hall, or whatever all-powerful nanny state they imagine, controls grocery stores?

How do they conclude that in the midst of the worst electrical grid failure on record, BC Hydro is going to address their personal situation above all others?

Vancouver broadcast media weren’t much better. Their big focus was that BC Hydro’s website crashed, so people couldn’t call it up on their smartphones and find out instantly when their power would be back on.

Some even questioned why wireless power meters didn’t help. Perhaps these were the same journalists who fed the tinfoil-hat superstition about their signals.

The facts should be known by now. After an extremely dry spring and summer, a high wind shattered trees and took down more wires and poles than BC Hydro had ever coped with before. Further damage was done within areas that were already blacked out,

leaving overtaxed technicians unable to accurately assess the full extent of it.

In Coquitlam and elsewhere, poles were down in areas too rain-saturated for heavy repair trucks to reach. Yes, there were some too-optimistic repair estimates

given out, in response to the constant screeching for instant answers.

About 15 years ago, I experienced my worst power outage in the Fraser Valley. In a semi-rural area with little backup grid capacity (since greatly improved), my family went three days without power. This was in winter, due to wind and freezing rain followed by snow and cold.

Trickles of water kept pipes from freezing, and the gas stove provided a bit of heat. I heard no complaints about the crews struggling around the clock with the dangerous job of repair. Media coverage was mostly adult supervised.

Mega-storm madness isn’t an isolated case. A couple of weeks before that, a

temporary construction bump on the Lion’s Gate Bridge deck caused panic and rage.

Aggravated by a couple of accidents on the alternate route, and fed by hysterical media, drivers of West Van luxury cars were white-knuckled. Traffic choked the region that recently declined to pay a bit more for road improvements.

In both cases, people outside Lotus Land were muttering: Welcome to our world.

This is pertinent to the federal election. Are you competent to save for your retirement with RRSPs and a tax-free savings account, or do you need the government to do it for you, by force?

Are you capable of managing your own child care, or should the nanny state create a hugely subsidized system, which has already failed in Quebec, from coast to coast?

Are you ready for the day when the machine stops?

Unist'ot'en and RCMP meet and discuss rumour

SMITHERS - Members of the Unist'ot'en protest camp quizzed the RCMP about rumoured police action against the camp in a four-hour meeting between officers and hereditary chiefs Sept. 1.

First Nations leaders raised concerns police were planning mass arrests at the camp, where protestors are blocking pipeline companies from accessing traditional Unist'ot'en territory.

Camp spokesperson Freda Huson told The Interior News an increased police presence in the Houston area and information from the RCMP were among the reasons behind their concerns.

Police have refuted the claims, stating they have no intention to "take down" the camp.

At the request of the RCMP, hereditary chiefs from the Wet'suwet'en Nation and the Unist'ot'en house group met with police representatives includ-ing senior officer Superintendent Hilton Smee, two Aboriginal officers and a police lawyer yesterday.

In a statement posted on social Sept. 2, the Unist'ot'en Camp said leaders asked police to notify their members if they were planning any action at the camp.

“The Unist'ot'en have asked Superintendent Smee to provide the Unist'ot'en with notice prior to any planned police action to ensure the safety and security of those individuals present at the camp, and in particular children and elders,” the state-ment reads.

“Superintendent Smee advised that he needed time to consider this proposal and he was asked not to take any action until he gave a response.”

Woman dies while travelling in vehicleVERNON - A woman died in a tragic accident

Sunday, Sept. 6. At about 9:40 a.m., Vernon RCMP were called to the 4300 block of 25th Avenue.

An 80-year-old woman had fallen out of her medical chair while travelling in a specialized vehi-cle. She slipped out of the chair inside the vehicle, causing an undisclosed injury.

She was pronounced deceased at the scene.The B.C. Coroner's Service and the Vernon

RCMP are still investigating this incident.

100 Mile RCMP responded to 87 com-plaints and calls for service during the past week. Below are high-lights from the weeks calls.

Impaired tractor-trailer driverCariboo-Chilcotin

Traffic Services were advised of a possible impaired driver operat-ing a tractor-trailer unit on Highway 97 head-ing north into 100 Mile House on Sept. 6.

When attempts were made to have the vehicle pulled over, the driver continued through a road check before stopping a short distance later.

The driver, a 54-year-old male, displayed symptoms of liquor consumption and blew a fail after an approved screening device was administered. The driv-er requested a second sample, which was also a fail. He was issued a 90-day immediate road-side driving prohibition and the tractor unit was towed and impounded for 30 days.

Drunk driverCariboo-Chilcotin

Traffic Services stopped a vehicle in downtown 100 Mile House for sus-pected impaired driving in response to a com-plaint from the public on Sept. 5.

The 62-year-old male driver displayed symptoms of liquor consumption and an approved screening device was adminis-tered at the scene and the result was a fail. The driver requested a sec-ond test and the result was also a fail.

The driver was issued a 90-day imme-diate roadside driving prohibition and his vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days.

Copper wire theft A 120-meter roll of

copper wire was stolen from a flat deck trailer

parked overnight at a hotel in the downtown area of 100 Mile House on Sept. 2.

While the recall has affected grocery stores in Canada and the United States, any of the potentially affected products have already been removed from shelves at the 100 Mile Safeway store, says manager Sean Watson.

“The recall was exe-cuted by us at the store [within 45 minutes of it coming down the evening of Sept. 5]. We pulled all product on the floor, whether it was affected or not, because we didn't want to [take any chances].”

While the recall also covered some made-in-store products all purchased on or before Sept. 6, Watson says the 100 Mile store doesn't use that particular product in any of its deli salads.

A case of field cucum-bers received at the local grocery store on Sept. 8 is not from the affected farm, he adds.

“Business is normal for us. If you see a field cucumber at Safeway [in 100 Mile], it's not from the affected farm [in San Diego, Calif.].”

The recall was expanded on Sept. 9 to include Save-On-Foods. 100 Mile Save-On-Foods manager Craig Lee says the local grocery store did not receive any of the recalled product.

The Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) Society held its annual general meeting (AGM) recently.

Highlights of the meeting included the presentation and acceptance of the exter-nal financial audit for 2015/16 by Deloitte and Touche.

CFEC execu-tive director Lisa De Paoli presented the annual report review-ing achievements in CFEC’s strategic goals, including the addition of youth coun-selling, co-location of GROW SD 27 pro-gram with the Youth Employment Services Program, addition of the Seeds of Empathy Program at the Early Care and Learning Centre, opening of the South Cariboo Early Years Centre and co-sponsoring the Non Profit Board Skills Development Workshops.

Sheila Hart, Vic Popiel and Leon Chretien were re-elect-ed to their second terms on the board of direc-tors. Rita Giesbrecht and Ingrid Meyer were elected to their first term, and Diane Cober was thanked for her years of service as a board member.

The AGM concluded with a recognition lunch and ceremony thank-ing volunteers, donors and sponsors, staff and the board for their “tre-mendous commitment to making a positive difference to children, youth and families in

the South Cariboo,” says De Paoli.

Hart, who is the board co-chair, pre-dicted the coming year will bring new chal-lenges. “However, as an organization, we are amazingly strong and ready to take on new opportunities with our never-ending commit-ment to improving the lives of individuals and families in our area.”

Rita Giesbrecht, who is the other board co-chair, commented on her new role on the board.

“By participating at the board level, it is my hope and intention that I can contribute to the furtherance of progres-sive, and real, social change in the South Cariboo.”

The CFEC welcomes new members. Call

Debbra Williams at 250-395-5155 or e-mail [email protected] for more information about membership and/or CFEC programs and services.

CFEC is a regis-tered charity and gratefully accepts finan-cial donations and in-kind contributions of food and supplies for children, youth and families.

for Prize Winners!

After a “mix ‘n match” weekend weather-wise, the Forest Grove Walking Group met for its weekly ramble at the fire hall, at 11 a.m.

However, on Aug. 31, spouses joined the array as the new local restau-rant would open their doors especially for the “troops” who had made it in for a lunch. It was another one of those special Mondays that make getting out of bed for some fresh air and exercise well worth-while.

FundraiserThe annual Forest

Grove Volunteer Fire Department fundraiser is upon us once more.

On Sept. 26, the doors to the Forest Grove Community Hall (4489 Eagle Creek Road) will open at 9 a.m. to raise money for this year’s Halloween Fireworks and the Children’s Christmas Party.

Vendors will be on hand selling their goods, as well as the flea market, silent auction

and bake sale. The Two Sisters will be catering, so nobody has to go hungry.

For more informa-tion, including tables and/or donations (silent auction/flea market), please contact Wendy Clarke on 250-706-4177.

DartsSept. 19 will see

another darts tour-nament at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 261-Forest Grove – the annual Blind Draw Newfie Shoot.

Registration starts at 10 a.m. with games getting underway at 11 a.m.

For more informa-tion, please contact Ruth and Rene LeBlanc at 250-791-7348.

Legion news• Aug. 28 will be

remembered for Kira Saenger and Peter Thorne’s concert that literally blew away their audience. If you missed it, don’t worry because the performers prom-ised to return.

• Winnie Lins’ Celebration of Life took place the follow-ing day after the weekly meat draw and was well attended. Roy Mezger’s “In Loving Memory” plaque now proudly hangs above the bar.

• Karaoke with Dodie

will return to entertain, and encourage locals and visitors alike to sing and be merry on Sept. 12 at 6 p.m.

ReminderThe Board on the

Road Community barbecue will be held today (Sept. 10) from 5 to 7 p.m., with the Cariboo Regional District board meeting starting the following day at 9:30 a.m.

Both events are open to the public and will take place at the com-munity hall.

Thirty-four vehi-cles competed in the Interlakes Economic Association’s Third Annual Show ’n Shine at Interlakes Corner, Aug. 23.

It was a perfect day, beautifully sunny with a light breeze, and not too hot. The Class Mates provided entertain-ment for the day, and The Country Pedlar’s ice cream did a roaring trade.

The winners were all chosen by popular vote, as follows :

• Best bike: Gary Kinnear, 2005 Vequero

• Best car: Dave Akehurst, 1966 Chevy II

• Best truck: Jim Secord, bright red 1934 Chevy

• The People’s Choice award: Larry Hargrove, 1964 Pontiac

Of special note was Pete Bonter’s ancient tractor which, it is said, he “dug out of a field.” It stood, caged, nearby, attracting much atten-tion.

Entertainment Cariboo Idol supports volunteerism


The 2015 Cariboo Idols have at least two more performances before their season winds up with individ-ual recording sessions.

This year’s group of singers representing the best of local, non-professional talent has already boasted a spring and summer of stellar performances.

These include appear-ing at the Cariboo Women’s Fair and the

District of 100 Mile House 50th Anniversary celebration, at the Performances in the (Boitanio) Park in Williams Lake, and most recently, at the South Cariboo Garlic Festival in Lac la Hache (Aug. 29).

These gifted vocal-ists are Justine Hama, Diane Laukkanen, Gary Seminoff, Britta Westerager, Tyrell Norton, Shania Parks, Chelsea Herperger and Jazmine Storvold.

Storvold is a past win-ner, and Westerager and Norton were among last year’s group. Seminoff is new to the Idols, but has been performing since the late 1980s.

Organizer Rob Fry says they are all gain-ing experience in

performing for larger live audiences while they support and pro-mote local causes.

“Some of them have never been in front of an audience of any size, so it gives them an opportunity to get out there and get rid of ‘the butterflies’ that come with doing that.

“And, at the same time, they get recognized as community supporters and volunteers helping out at events and things like that.”

This is good for the younger performers especially and good for the community in having up-and-coming youth volunteers in the face of increasing needs due to aging and tiring community supporters, he explains.

Fry adds upcom-ing Idol performances include the West Fraser Mills 60th Anniversary Celebration in Centennial Park (Sept. 13), and their final showcase of 2015 will see them back in the park during the Kidney Walk (Sept. 27).

Each Cariboo Idol will then receive an honorarium for his or her participation and have the opportunity to record a song at New Age Studio before the end of the year.

“That is all courtesy of the Cariboo Idol spon-sors; that support is what makes it all possible.”

More information and a list of sponsors are on the Facebook page for Cariboo Idol 2015.

Shania Parks was one of the Cariboo Idols who performed at the South Cariboo Garlic Festival in Lac la Hache on Aug. 29. The Idols have two more performances, including the West Fraser Mills 60th Anniversary Celebration in Centennial Park on Sept. 13, and their final showcase at the park during the Kidney Walk on Sept. 27.

British Columbia ben-efited significantly from the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, which saw tens of thousands of specta-tors and visitors take home lasting memo-ries of the province “as a world-class sporting event and tourism destination”, according to the pro-vincial government. The government says its economic impact estimate of $52 mil-lion for the province should be exceeded when final numbers are announced in the coming weeks.The month-long tour-nament from June to July was played in stadiums in cities across Canada, inl-cuding Vancouver.

Coach Hladun: Wranglers are 'miles ahead'

Gaven CritesFree Press

There's still a big question mark stand-ing between the pipes, but 100 Mile House Wranglers coach Dale Haldun is oth-erwise happy with the early direction of the local Junior B hockey team following main camp and two exhibi-tion games against the Kamloops Storm on Sept. 5-6.

A strong core of

veteran defenceman are returning, and the forward lineup will be “deep” as well, the coach says.

Coming back to man the Wranglers' blue line are Josh Odelein, Jaydon Gilding, Tavis Roch, Liam Cumberbirch and Tate Page, with new additions Kolten Carpenter and Mason Palaga.

Some of the forwards set to return are Stephen Egan, Tyler Garcia, Justin Bond and Nick McCabe.

Local talent Cole Zimmerman is still try-ing out for a Junior A club in Flin Flon, Man., while the return of last season's top scorer, Brett Harris, is still up in the air as the crafty local skater nurses a knee injury and is working full time in Kamloops.

“I have to talk to him about how it could work [in 100 Mile],” Hladun

says of Harris.A new bright spot at

forward is the addition of Tyler Povelofskie, a 19-year-old Williams Lake product who played Junior A in the British Columbia Hockey League. Hladun was very impressed with his effort in exhibition games against the Storm.

“Here's a player that has played two years in Junior A, had zero to prove, and he blocked shots cover-ing his face to win in exhibition. If that is the character he's bringing to us – this is why we're going to be a champion-ship team.”

Regarding the cur-rent and early forward situation, Haldun says: “We've got some guys that can score goals, but I think we'll need

to generate goals from hard work, like from rebounds and on the power play. We're not going to have one goal-scorer that leads us with 80 points. We might have three or four that

are 40-point guys.”

“But again,” he adds. “It's September 8th. There are still camps going.”

A decision on goaltenders – the biggest pieces left to

address it seems – will likely come at the end of the month, Hladun says.

“I'm still fielding calls [for goaltenders]. I have to play them in [regular season] games because we've had such a short preseason.”

Hladun ran a small camp with only 27 skat-ers at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Sept. 3-4.

Kamloops won both

exhibition games – 4-3 and 5-4 – following that but Hladun was impressed with the over-all effort he saw from the players.

“I thought our kids worked so hard. Kamloops has some talent there, but they didn't like getting run into by some of our vets. I thought, if that's how we're going to start, we're already miles ahead of where we were last year at this time.”

The Wranglers open the 2015-16 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season at home on Sept. 12 against the Chase Heat before travelling to Sicamous for a game against the Eagles on Sept. 15.

Looking ahead to the opener, Hladun says fans can expect a “real good effort” from a team that's “in the zone”.

“The guys are talking the right way,” he adds.

“It's like we just finished playing the Storm in the [2014-15] playoffs and they want to get the job done. There are a lot of hungry guys. I think we're going to have a hell of a season.”

For season ticket information, contact [email protected] or drop by the orga-nization's office inside the South Cariboo Rec. Centre.

Volunteers for home games and billet homes for players are also needed for the season. Contact Sandy Craig about volunteering and any employment oppor-tunities for Wranglers players at 250-945-4902. Contact Kim McCoy about billeting at 250-395-8085. The club is also looking for a vid-eographer and someone to keep up the live scor-ing and stats on the KIJHL website during homes games.

The recent combined Competitive Trail Ride (CTR) and Endurance Ride (ER) event was a great success, with rid-ers attending from all over the province and a couple coming from Washington State.

The Cariboo Plateau behind The Hills Health Ranch was the location of the 2015 CTR and the 50-mile ER.

The Hills horse camp was the starting point for 54 riders (27 CTR and 27 ER) including local CTR riders Mike Day and Bev Jansen.

ER co-ordinator Nicola Maughn notes all riders were very courteous and safety for horse and rider was at the forefront of the event.

The CTR is a timed event with a specific rate of speed and specif-ic completion time. The ER is a riding discipline where a certain mileage is completed as quickly and safely as possible.

Both groups ride over various grades of terrain and both disci-plines emphasize care and condition for the horse and rider. The motto is: “To finish is to win.”

ERElroy Karius from

Kelowna and Jolly Holiday (Doc) came in first with a time of 4 hours 46 minutes flat. Second was Langley res-ident Nick McDonald aboard Teagan in a time of 4 hours 46 minutes two seconds; and third place went to Diane Prinsen of Salmon Arm riding Zimfandel Macho Dude in a time of 5 hours 14 minutes.

The best conditioned horse was Brenda Miskimmin’s horse Paladin.

CTRLevel 1 was 17 miles,

and level 2 was a 27.5-mile course.

CTR riders begin with a score of 300 and receive demerits for concerns with their horses' health and con-dition – high pulse, sore back, lameness or any dehydration and behav-iour issues – at the vet checks.

This year, a perfect score of 300 was given to Madeline Bateman of Cherry Creek on Shainy Spark; second went to Nellie Rourkema of Okanagan Falls with a 295; and third place was a tie between Debbie

Powell of Princeton and Mike Day of 100 Mile House for their scores of 293.

The Vet's Choice award went to 10-year-old Jasmine Gossin of Salmon Arm.

Veterinarians Ross Hawks from Williams Lake checked the CTR horses, and Rob Mulligan of Kamloops checked the ER horses. Both rides receive a

baseline vet check the day before the ride, and each time they return to camp during the ride day, the horse's condi-tion was checked and recorded.

CTR co-ordinator, Joanne Macaluso, notes this event would not have been possible without the help of the numerous volunteers.

The organizers thank ride secretary

Pat Haywood for all her help, including col-lecting and organizing all the ride packs and prizes that were all col-lected and donated by British Columbia and local businesses.

The event was so well received they are look-ing to do the combined event again next year.

Monika Paterson is the Lac la Hache corre-spondent.

Competitive trail and endurance rides combined

Monika Paterson photoMike Day of 100 Mile House, front, and Debbie Powell from Princeton were competing in the recent Competitive Trail Ride (CTR) portion of the combined CTR and Endurance rides on the Cariboo Plateau. Day and his Icelandic pony, Salina Fra Hester, finished in third place.


The 2015 Cariboo Open came down to the wire with some won-derful golf drama on Sept. 6.

With evening twilight fast approaching, local golfer Chris Stevens won the premiere annual tournament at the 108 Golf Resort in a second playoff hole by fending off the late-charging defend-ing champion, Richard Smith of Chilliwack, in front of a captivated gallery on No. 18 after the pair were still tied after the first playoff on No. 1.

Stevens and Smith fired an overall low gross score of 219 after three rounds of play. Smith carded a 67 in the final round to get back in the mix.

Local golfer Al Smeds shot overall lowest net with a three-day total of 204.

The 2015 Cariboo Open filled up early this year with 120 contes-tants.

“It was a fun weekend and a phe-nomenal ending,” says Andy Wahnschaff, head professional at the 108 Golf Resort. “Thank you so much to all of the volunteers and our

many sponsors for mak-ing this the best event in the Interior of B.C.”

Following Smith in the first flight (Handicap 0-7) was Chris Seeley (220) with second lowest gross,

Matt Ayers (227), Chris Morley (227) and Shane Wilkie (228).

Scott Seeley (211) shot lowest net in the first flight, followed by Lynden Jeffrey (214), Greg Swalwell (215),

Jay Scott (216) and Jim Laird (218).

In the second flight (Handicap 8-12), Jeff Kendy (235) scored lowest gross, followed by Jim Zailo (242), Cole Kendy (245), Ryan Kornelson (246) and Shawn McManus (246).

Lowest net in the second flight belonged to Vern Jeffrey (212), who was followed by Peter McLean (216), Mike Ricketts (216), Guy Erickson (219) and Doug Mirva (220).

Winter is around the corner, which could be great news for skiers.

However, the 100 Mile Nordic Ski Society, which operates the trail system at 99 Mile Hill, needs help to get trails ready before the cross country ski season can start.

Two work bees are planned – Sept. 12 and Sept. 19 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

A few Nordics mem-bers have worked many hours this summer, with many frustrations, to keep the Nordic Ski Club and trails going, says Nordics member Lauren Bock.

“Please consider help-ing out. If we are unable to get enough help with clearing the trails, they might not be ready to ski on this winter.”

For the work bees, the club is meeting at the Snowmobile Lodge, not

the 99 Mile Ski Lodge, which is located further up Ainsworth Road past the start of the Low Mobility Trail.

“Please bring a tool, shovel, rake, bar, any-thing to help clean up the three new trails,” says Bock. “Also, water and a snack if needed. Or if someone wants to bake some goodies

for the volunteers, that would be nice.”

Neil Manhard, in charge of trail mainte-nance, has been very busy all summer work-ing very hard at getting new trails developed, Bock adds.

“They are now at a stage where many hands are needed to get the trails ready for the

ski season.”Manhard also needs

someone familiar with driving a tractor. If you are unable to attend a work bee, but are able to help in your own time, contact Manhard and he will explain what you can do to help. He can be reached at neilman hardfarm @ gmail.com or 250-397-2525.

Financial Tip of the WeekDollar-cost Averaging - A Strategy for Volatile Markets Dollar cost averaging refers to the practice of investing a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of market moves. The result is that you buy more units when prices are falling and fewer units when prices are rising. The benefit of this strategy is that it reduces the risk of investing a large amount of money in a single investment at the wrong time. In volatile markets, this practice tends to lower the average cost of your investments. Dollar cost averaging won’t protect you against a market decline, but it is an easy, disciplined investment strategy that’s been proven to pay off over the long term.

HAYWOOD - FARMER Betty

(nee Wilkinson)

From her iconic spot on the front porch at Farmers’ Bull-pasture, Green Lake, Betty oversaw four generations of her

large, loving family. From the countless beach activities to chatting about the top story on BBC News, she was always at the centre. Family and friends came daily for tea with cookies, looking to catch up and engage in lively conservations. She offered sage advice to the youngsters (for 52 consecutive summers) and was fond of discussions about world politics, current events and the daily weather forecast with her much quoted, “It’s clearing in the west.”

Forever by her side was her partner in life, Frank her husband of 68 years. She was surrounded by her 4 children; Sally (Bob), Frances (Rob), Cathie (Rudi), Stewart (Diana) and 11 grandchildren; Teresa (Jeremy), Karla (Bruce), Patrick, Lydia (John), Riley, Tyler, Devin ( Kelly), Lucas, Carson, Maxine and Jaclyn. She also had 6 great grandchildren: Rebecca, Mattea, Melissa, Rachel, Seppi, and Lorelai. She had 2 brothers; Bill and Chuck and a sister, Evelyn Thompson.

Born in Victoria on May 30, 1922, Betty resided in Vancouver until she joined the Navy (WRENS) in 1943 and was stationed in Halifax and Glasgow. She returned to the Flying U Guest Ranch, owned by her father Charlie Wilkinson where she met Frank. On Dec. 4, 1946 they married and moved to the Green Lake Meadows. With a huge adjustment, the city girl transitioned to ranch life and the community while raising a family.

In 1961 another new chapter began with a move to Vancouver when Frank became a teacher. For 20 years Betty was a busy Mom who also swam regularly, attended harness races, belonged to a bridge club and learned to play golf. A much remembered highlight of hers was the trip she and Frank took around the world in 1979, with a long stop in South Africa.

Retirement to the Bullpasture in 1984 brought more enjoyment of golf, shing, card games, reading and her favourite activity, swimming. Winters were spent in their condo in Abbotsford with her beloved pool.

Her commitment to family life was inspiring, her love for those around her was endless and unwavering and she met life challenges with a positive determination. Betty was a lifetime lover of words, listening to audio book stories, even to this summer, showcasing her voracity of reading and life.

A farewell celebration of life, with an informal tea to share memories, will be held at 70 Mile Community Hall on Sept. 19, 2015 at 2 p.m.

In keeping with Betty’s wishes cremation has taken place.

Memorial donations may be made to the CNIB

LIHOURaymond Maurice

Raymond Lihou passed away on March 18th 2015 after a valiant battle, surrounded by the mountains he loved in 100 Mile House, B.C. Ray was born and grew

up in Owen Sound, Ontario. After a career at Sears, he enjoyed many travels and the company of friends and family. He was pre-deceased by his son Brad, his brothers; Wally, Burt and Ken, and his sister Lorraine.

Ray is survived by his brothers Wayne and Tom and his sisters Dorothy and Audrey. Ray will forever be missed by his son Christopher (Christy), his daughter Susan, his grandchildren; Jason (Lindsay), Ryan and Kathryn and his great grandchildren Ashley and Lily.

An interment was held at the Edgehill Cemetery outside of Wiarton, Ontario on Sept. 1, 2015.

Ray leaves many friends in 100 Mile House and his son Chris Lihou and family would like to thank everyone in 100 Mile for their support this year.

~Ray’s spirit will shine forever over the Cariboo~

An upcoming “The Selfie Show” at Parkside Art Gallery in 100 Mile House is open to every-one.

The local gallery at 401 Cedar Avenue is looking for submis-sions in all mediums and styles for the exhibi-tion, which runs Sept. 14-23.

“Selfies can be a chal-lenge for some artists,” says gallery director Barb Brown. “It’s been fun listening to a few fellow artists talk about how hard it was to draw oneself.”

Parkside invites art-ists, individuals and groups to submit pro-posals for exhibition in 2016.

Preference is given to those who reside in the South Cariboo as their mandate is to present the works of local artists and artisans.

However, if you have a unique proposal the gallery will give it con-sideration.

The deadline for sub-missions is Sept. 12. Drop in at the gallery to pick up a submis-sion form, or e-mail p arks ide ar tcent [email protected].

PATIOFURNITUREON ALL


This is what Tim Van Horn is meant to do.

The 46-year-old photographer is on a self-described modern day pilgrimage exploring and capturing with his camera for the last seven years a sense of the Canadian identity, blasting out some “goodness” on a “creative tour of duty” in a race against time in his one-of-a-kind masterpiece of a motor home – he calls it “Big Maple” – wreathed in an assemblage of thousands of images of Canadians from all walks of life in a red-and-white mosaic of the Canadian flag.

So far, Van Horn has taken some 41,000 por-traits as part of his Canadian Mosaic Project. The Red Deer, Alta. native has crossed the country five times since he started on his journey in 2008. He’s taken photos on street corners in every province and territory.

He wants to capture the image of 54,000 dif-ferent Canadians (about 0.150 per cent of the

population in honour of the country’s upcoming 150th anniversary) before 2017, when he plans to unveil the new “Canada Bus” and roll it across the land again on a 365-day “To Canada With Love” campaign – described as a multi-media “pavilion on wheels” in celebration of Canada’s 150th birth-day, in which he hopes to reach some two to three million people.

The 54,000 portraits will cover the entire sur-face of the bus, while 13 ribbons (one for each province and territory) of inspirational text will weave and blend with

the photos. Van Horn was in 100

Mile House on Aug. 25, on his way to Smithers for the weekend with plans to head eastward for the Prairies after that in September.

Sitting inside Big Maple in the parking lot outside the 100 Mile House Free Press, emitting positive vibes and speaking with enthusiasm, his old black dog Turbo nearby, Van Horn shared part of his ongoing story and what he hopes to achieve with it. There have been chal-lenges on the road to be sure and the journey has been long.

He’s after hearts and minds and backed by the generosity of the people he meets. He’s doing something historic and he feels blessed.

“The intent isn’t mon-etary. The intent is humanitarian. It’s this spiritual journey to understand the tempo and personality of the country, and then present some-thing that’s reflective of what I’ve learned.

“It’s the largest portrait created in Canadian his-tory. We’ve never had a massive documentation of the people. It’s always the landscape that gets highlighted when people

head out to photograph Canada. So, it’s a first.”

Above all, it seems Van Horn is out to inspire – every person he meets, perhaps an entire nation.

“My message with all these portraits is: this is where you fit in. These are the people you live with. Embrace your life. Find your purpose. Run with it. Life is short.”

People can learn more about the Canadian Mosaic Project on Facebook, Twitter or by visiting www.canadian mosaic.ca.

“The moral of my story is look what one guy did. You can do the same.”

‘To Canada With Love’ Creator of Canadian Mosaic Project

stops in 100 Mile House

Tim Van Horn, creator of the Canadian Mosaic Project, stopped with his dog Turbo in 100 Mile House recently. The 46-year-old photographer has taken some 41,000 portraits of people from across Canada since 2008 and wants to capture the image of 54,000 different Canadians before 2017.

Premier Christy Clark sat in the visitor

seats of the British Columbia legislature on

June 26, as her government’s throne speech

renewed the B.C. Liberal commitments

from the May election.

Lt. Governor Judith Guichon read a

brief speech to open a rare summer session

of the legislature, reiterating government

commitments for four consecutive bal-

anced budgets and a freeze on carbon tax

and most personal income tax rates.

Clark attended before returning to

duties as premier and a campaign for a

seat in Westside-Kelowna in a byelection

set for July 10.

“Waiting to take a seat makes it a little bit

harder to get down to business as quickly

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

way,” Clark told reporters on a visit to a

care facility under construction in Saanich.

“We called the legislature back before I

had a seat because we want to get this bal-

anced budget passed.”

NDP house leader John Horgan called it

a “bogus” budget that aims to hold health

care spending below one per cent growth,

a target not seen since the Social Credit

restraint program of the early 1980s.

The legislature is to sit until July 25,

debating the budget and the spending

estimates for all government ministries as

required by law.

The first order of business on June 26

was the unanimous election of veteran

Richmond East B.C. Liberal MLA Linda

Reid as speaker of the legislature.

Coquitlam-Burke Mountain B.C. Liberal

MLA Doug Horne was elected deputy

speaker and Burnaby-Edmonds NDP MLA

Raj Chouhan is assistant deputy speaker.

Throne speech renews

vows

These simple home maintenance projects can help lower your energy bills, prevent more costly repairs and/or increase the lifespan of your home.1. Heating & Ventilation - Examine your replace and chimney system to ensure that no soot or creosote has collected. Any cracks or voids could potentially cause a re. Before you turn the furnace or boiler on, replace the air lter and hire a professional to inspect the unit more thoroughly. 2. Seal Windows and Doors - If not properly sealed, windows and doors can be a major culprit for heat loss. To keep the warm air inside, inspect the weather-stripping around your home’s windows and doors for leaks, rot or decay. Repair or replace structural framing, and caulk inside and out, if necessary.3. Insulate well - One of the easiest and most effective defenses against heat loss is proper insulation. Prevent cold drafts from entering and the loss of heated air through basement headers, which, when left exposed, can make your furnace work harder.

Look for a moisture-resistant product offering high thermal performance, 4. Backyard Care - Save your property from potential damage by trimming overgrown trees and shrubs to prevent ice-laden branches from thrashing against electrical wires and your home’s exterior. Drain/shut off any exterior faucets and sprinkler systems to prevent freezing. Ensure rain or snow drains away from the house to avoid foundation problems.5. Roof and Gutters - Inspect your roof for shingles that are warped,

damaged or even missing to prevent a future leak. Use roo ng cement and a caulking gun to seal joints where water could penetrate, such as around the chimney, skylights or vent pipes. Make sure that your gutters and downspouts are securely fastened. Downspouts should extend at least ve feet away from the home to prevent ooding.When it comes to preventative maintenance, a little time and effort can save thousands in energy costs and repair bills over the lifetime of your home.

Drought conditions across

the province have impacted

farmers and ranchers in the

South Cariboo who are now

scrambling for hay with sky-

rocketing prices.

While the province-wide

drought is at its worst in the

south-west and on Vancouver

Island, low rivers and streams

and little precipitation have

led to poor crop harvests

across the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Locally, 100 Mile Ranch

manager Greg Messner says

he is fielding 20 to 50 calls

every day from ranchers look-

ing for hay, not just from the

area, but also from more dis-

tant parts of British Columbia

and Alberta.

On Aug. 28, the last two

round bales rolled off the

ranch on a customer’s truck,

he adds.While the large, historic

local ranch has irrigation, this

season’s lack of surface water

has rendered that equipment

useless, Messner notes.

“For us, even though we

have several water licences,

it just didn’t make a differ-

ence ... we are in a Category 3

Drought Level right now [in

the Cariboo].“We’ve got four dams on

the ranch, seven water licenc-

es, and there isn’t water in any

of those creeks and all the

dams are dry.”Messner says the ranch’s

water licence on Little Bridge

Creek normally brings water

from Exeter Lake – after the

dam boards are removed –

downstream to its hay field

across from Central GM.

This summer, it takes a full

24 hours for water to flow

from just one kilometre away,

and the dry stream banks

absorb most of it, he explains.

“We need a flow rate of

upwards of 300 gallons a

Around 2:40 p.m. on Aug. 27, local

RCMP members responded to a call

about an assault at the 100 Mile

House & District Women’s Centre.

Women’s Centre executive director

Sonja Ramsay says she was talking on

the phone in her office when a staff

member knocked on her door and

told her to phone 9-1-1.

Noting there were 10 women in the

office, Ramsay says a man, who was

known to staff and had been in the

office before, appeared to be agitated

and he was causing a commotion.

When he was asked to leave, the

assailant threw the employee to the

floor and then a client intervened, she

says, adding the employee jumped to

her feet and pushed the assailant out

of the office and locked the door.

Ramsay notes the man pounded on

the door and wanted to get back in;

he went away, returned and pounded

on the door again before leaving for

good.100 Mile House RCMP Cpl. Brian

Lamb says the suspect had left the

building before police arrived and he

was later found in the area.

He was apprehended and arrested

for assault.“The assault wasn’t directed at any

one person; it wasn’t targeted. The

individual had been in the office

before, but on that day, he had been

consuming alcohol, and had come in

SOMETHING ABOUT IT.There’s a FOOD CRISIS in the South Cariboo.

The South Cariboo Food Security Committee has put out a plea for food donations

to support the hungry families and individuals in need this summer.

Local gardeners with extra produce in their plots, and the general public through non-perishable donations, are

being asked to help with this food crisis.Children, youth and families are challenged daily in having

enough to eat, especially nutritious food.With the ever increasing need for food, our shelves are

really low.The following staples would be greatly appreciated at the

Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre, Loaves and Fishes and the Womens Centre.
