CELEBRATING CANADA

The new aca-demic year in British Columbia will see an enhanced focus on Aboriginal history and the lasting legacy of Canada’s notorious resi-dential school system.

The B.C. Liberal government says the curriculum changes are in response to the “calls to action” in the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.

Students will study topics such as discrimination, inequality, oppression and the impacts of colo-nialism.

“With education comes positive change,” says Peter Fassbender, minister of education, in a news release.

“Through the revised curriculum, we will be promoting greater understanding, empa-thy and respect for Aboriginal history and culture among students and their families.”

In this region, schools have already taken some major steps toward reconciliation with their First Nations neighbours, says School District #27 (SD27) schools superintendent Mark Thiessen.

During this past school year, more than a dozen Grade 5 teach-ers and four Grade 10 teachers from SD27 piloted a new curricu-lum related to the legacy of residential schools in Canada, he adds.

Kevin Grinyer’s quest to open a local micro-brewery made it over the first hurdle when the District of 100 Mile House council unanimously adopted a zoning bylaw amend-ment on June 19.

No concerns were voiced by council, area businesses or the gener-al public throughout the process, which began at the June 9 council meeting.

Mayor Mitch Campsall says he was pleased to see the

amendment go through so smoothly.

“Everybody is in support of it. It’s something new in the community, and it’s great when you see local people – and he’s been here all his life – do something like this.

“I think they’ll do a great job and I’m excited to see it up and running. It’s always nice to see new business.”

Grinyer says he expects it will take about three to four months of jumping through the provincial hoops and getting the essential paperwork completed.

He notes some brew-eries have completed the process in three months, but that’s the exception to the rule.

Grinyer says he is looking forward to get-ting started on what he calls a “nanobrewery.”

He will be setting up shop in the old 100 Miler Gear Garage, which will provide plenty of room for the startup.

Grinyer says there will be a tasting area, and he will be provid-ing “growlers,” which are reusable containers that people can bring back for refills, bottles

and eventually kegs.He hope to start set-

ting up the brewery later this month because it’s an important step in getting a licence.

“You have to be able to prove you’re functional before the inspector will approve the licence.”

While the retailing aspect will be new to him and something he’ll have to learn as he goes along, brewing beer is the least of his concerns.

“I’ve been home brewing for decades and I did it because of the enjoyment and cost savings.”

He says brewers learn a lot over time, includ-ing what works and what doesn’t work. It’s a refining process, he adds.

Owning a brew-ery was “never on the radar” when he started home brewing.

However, as the microbreweries started popping up all over the province, Grinyer says he started thinking it might be a good way to work into semi-retire-ment.

Folks can follow his progress at Broke ‘N Rode Brewing Co. on Facebook.

A $250,000 infra-structure project at the corner of Alpine Avenue and Fifth Street in 100 Mile House, which started on May 20, is completed except for paving, and that is expected to happen on July 16.

Phil Strain, District of 100 Mile House director of operations, says an old Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) in a manhole in front of Super Save Gas on Alder Avenue had to be replaced because it wasn’t working.

However, the man-hole also had to be moved because it was a high-risk for District staff due to its confined entry, as well as being a traffic issue.

Strain says they

installed a new PRV vault - two by four metres – on Fifth Street and the boulevard in front of the Cariboo Mall parking lot.

The installation of the new PRV and all the inner workings was

completed on June 19 and the tie-ins to the water mains were done on June 22. Strain says they had to do that at night because they had to shut the water off – from around 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. on June 23.

“The new vault is in; it’s operational and we [tested] it that morning. The supplier came up and made sure it was working properly with all the right pressures and no leaks, and every-thing was good.”

The PRV is important because it reduces the water pressure when it flows down from the 99 Mile Water Tower.

“The water from 99 Mile tower, because of its elevation above the town, by the time it gets down to Fifth Avenue is at 140 pounds per square inch (psi).

“When it goes through the PRV, it comes out at 45 psi, which is normal.”

Strain says the main function of the PRV is controlling the fire flow in the low pressure zone area in the District.

“If there’s a fire in the low pressure zone and the fire department opens up a couple of hydrants, the PRV will open up and allow more water through.”

Bree Contracting Ltd. of 100 Mile House, which did the project, started prepar-ing for curbing and sidewalk mid-week and poured cement on June 26, Strain says, adding all that’s left is the paving to complete the project.

Infrastructure project completedPRV will control water flow into the District’s low pressure zone

Everyone worked hard when the concrete was poured for the curb and side-walk on Fifth Street in 100 Mile House on June 26. This was one of the final stages of the $250,000 Pressure Reducing Valve and vault project (behind the three workers on the right) that will control water flow into the low pres-sure zone of the District.

Family doctors introduce telehealth technology

Long distances and challeng-ing driving conditions can make it difficult for some patients in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region to get to their doctor’s office, so a group of physicians in the region is turning to telemedicine to ensure their patients have con-sistent access to a primary care provider.

The Central Interior Rural Division of Family Practice (CIRDFP) and the First Nations Health Authority are working together to introduce telehealth technology, making it easier for some family physicians to provide ongoing care to their patients in rural and First Nations communities.

“We know that having a pri-mary care provider can mean better health for individuals, as well as communities,” says Health

Minister Terry Lake.“Tailoring community solu-

tions for greater accessibility to primary care, especially in rural and remote locations, like the [CIRDFP] has done in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, strength-ens our health-care system as a whole.”

Telemedicine is just one of the strategies being implemented by the CIRDFP as part of A GP for Me. A GP for Me is a joint initiative of the province and Doctors of BC that aims to improve access to primary care across the province and help more British Columbians who want a primary care provider to find one.

“The results of a community assessment in 2014 showed that patients who are particularly vul-nerable – First Nations, people

with mental health challenges, and the frail elderly – are having a difficult time getting access to quality primary care,” says Dr. Bruce Nicolson, Physician Lead for the A GP for Me initiative.

“We really listened to what our community members, stakehold-ers, physicians and health-care providers had to say and we believe our resulting programs will strengthen primary care ser-vices.”

The CIRDFP’s strategies, which are being introduced include:

• Improved access to primary care through Telehealth services in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, devel-oped in partnership with the First Nations Health Authority will start with a group of six

The government of British Columbia is extending a program that keeps one of the province’s oldest indus-tries safe and viable.

A new $4-million investment will extend the existing Provincial Livestock Fencing Program through two more years until the end of 2017.

Todd Stone, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister and MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson, and C a r i b o o - C h i l c o t i n MLA Donna Barnett made the announce-ment on green ranch land north of 100 Mile House near a recently erected livestock fence running adjacent to Highway 97, some of the total 650 kilometres of fencing in B.C. built since the program’s inception in 2010.

The current funding commitment totalled $10 million and ends in 2015. The new invest-ment is expected to help build an additional 250 km of fencing.

The B.C. Cattlemen’s Association (BCCA) received applications for more than 2,000 km of fencing, so the need

is clearly there, Stone said on June 25.

“The B.C. govern-ment is happy to continue its partner-ship with the BCCA to deliver this program with benefits to driv-ers and the ranching community. This fenc-ing program is keeping cattle and other live-stock off our highways, improving safety for all motorists.”

Kevin Boon, BCCA general manager, said a survey by the orga-nization showed close to a 50 per cent reduc-tion of cattle and traffic conflict on the fenced highways since the pro-gram started.

“We can expect these fences to last 35 to 40 years.”

The ranching indus-try has had some tough times over the past few

years, but is on the rebound, Boon added.

“It has the spinoff benefits of rural devel-opment and support for the small towns. It’s time for us to rebuild our industry again. There’s no better way than turning the sun-shine and grass into protein we can utilize, and to help make sure the public is safe as well.”

Barnett made it clear that she would continue to lobby the government to extend the program past 2017.

The infrastruc-ture funding is part of B.C. on the Move, the province’s 10-year transportation plan.

Fences help ranchers, protect motorists Province adds $4 million to livestock fencing program through 2017

100 Mile project kicked offThe District of 100 Mile House is launching a

process to update both the Official Community Plan (OCP) and Zoning Bylaw.

The two bylaws will be updated to align with council’s and the community’s values, aspirations and perspectives for growth within the District.

The public launch will take place in July and will be linked to the 50th Anniversary Celebrations of 100 Mile House. Planning ahead for the next 50 years will be integrated into the events planned for Centennial Park during the week of July 19-26.

The Arlington Group Planning + Architecture Inc. has been retained to work with District planner Joanne Doddridge.

An advisory committee of 100 Mile House resi-dents representing diversity of backgrounds and offering a wealth of experience will assist the District.

The project will feature two main elements:

OCP update• Prepared in 2006, the OCP sets the general

direction for development and establishes policies for land use in 100 Mile House.

• Community support is critical to the success of an OCP. There will be a number of opportunities for the community to help develop and contribute

to the OCP, including a dedicated project webpage on the District website.

• Once adopted, the updated OCP will help ensure decisions from different District depart-ments are aligned and working towards a common direction.

Zoning Bylaw• The Zoning Bylaw regulates land use for every

property within the District’s boundaries.• It acts as a vehicle to implement the principles

identified in the OCP, as well as address important community issues.

• The Zoning Bylaw needs to be technically sound, provide clarity and be user-friendly for District administration, council, the development community, businesses and residents.

The OCP update and Zoning Bylaw re-writes are expected to be completed by the end of 2015. Regular project updates will be provided on the District’s website and additional public engagement opportunities will occur this fall.

For more information, visit the project website: http://www.100milehouse.com/ocp-zoning-update/ or contact the District of 100 Mile House planner Joanne Doddridge at 250-395-2434 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Nine area residents are getting work expe-rience with a new program combat-ing invasive plants at hundreds of sites in the British Columbia Interior throughout the summer and fall.

The provincial gov-ernment, in partnership with the Invasive Species Council of British Columbia (ISCBC), is providing nearly $300,000 in Job Creation Partnership funding to help “weed-busters” in 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Kamloops.

In the Cariboo, the targeted weeds are very much impacting rec-reation and the cattle industry, said project manager Dave Ralph, who was one of the close to two dozen peo-ple in attendance when C a r i b o o - C h i l c o t i n MLA Donna Barnett and Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone made the fund-ing announcement on ranch land at 108 Mile

on June 25. “The concern with

invasive plants is they have a profound impact on the economy and resources of the prov-ince,” Ralph added.

“Those weed species dramatically reduce available grazing forage, not only for domestic

livestock, but for graz-ing wildlife as well.”

Some of the weed species being primarily targeted throughout the six-month program are spotted knapweed, bur-dock, dalmatian toadflax and sulphur cinquefoil.

“Invasive species are one of those unique

things that don’t belong to anybody, but belong to us all,” said Gail Wallin, ISCBC execu-tive director.

“They don’t only hurt us economically, but they hurt us environ-mentally.”

Over the course of the project, which ends

in December, the par-ticipants are expected to treat approximately 200 sites for invasive species and also deliver inva-sive species awareness seminars to 60 commu-nity organizations and 60 schools.

Government and pri-vate landowners incur

significant costs to repair damage done by invasive species, which are also a nuisance at gravel pits as they can be easily spread when roads are being built.

The announcement was timely as the pro-vincial government declared June as Invasive Species Action Month.

Invasive species are a big problem in B.C, Barnett noted.

“The province is providing more than $300,000 to this proj-ect. Funding that will help a group of people gain valuable work experience and make a difference to our com-munity.

“These trainees are gaining skills they need to help control invasive plants that affect our environment and our economy.”


“Two years ago, we were a significant partner in bringing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to Williams Lake. As part of this experience, St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School commemoration events included the erection of two memorial monuments in Williams Lake and at the former residential school site.”

SD27 has also been a signif-icant partner in initiating and

recognizing Orange Shirt Day, which occurs annually in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House every Sept. 30, Thiessen notes.

“Orange Shirt Day recognizes the harm the residential school system did to children’s sense of self-esteem and well-being, and is an affirmation of our com-mitment to ensure that everyone around us matters.”

While primarily direct-ed at the federal government, the Truth and Reconciliation

report includes many recommendations the B.C. gov-ernment can address, including education.

Given the harsh and long-lasting impacts of the residential school system, reconciliation was never going to be easy, says John Rustad, minister of Aboriginal relations and reconciliation, in a news release.

“But our commitment to rec-onciliation with Aboriginal People is unwavering and we are making significant progress.”

of First Nations culture through Indigenous Cultural Competency Training.

• A program designed to help doctors keep up-to-date with the latest office technologies, as well as increase their awareness and knowl-edge of new models of health care, includ-ing Divisions of Family

Practice team-based care, which encourages a more community-based approach to care, will help support patients while making the best use of existing capacity and services.

• A co-ordinator will work with key partners to help find locums and work towards ensuring patients are taken care

of when a doctor takes time off or retires, and to attract new doctors to the area.

“Many of our resi-dents live in rural or First Nations commu-nities,” said Dr Glenn Fedor, CIRDFP chair.

“This presents unique challenges but we feel that using the latest technology, and

partnering with other health and community service organizations will allow us to make a significant improve-ment in the level and quality of care avail-able to patients in the Cariboo-Chilcotin.”

Commemorative pins have been produced for the Welcome Home 50th Anniversary of the District of 100 Mile House, which takes place July 18-26.

District planner Joanne Doddridge says the pins were based on the logo, which was designed by the 100 Mile House Free Press.

Noting there are not many places locally that can make pins, she says they were produced in Ontario.

“We worked with them to make the design have the same look and feel as the logo.”

Doddridge says they only purchased 1,000 pins, so folks will want to get them quickly.

The pins are available now, so people can go to

the District’s front office at 385 Birch Ave. between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday to purchase them for $2 each, including tax.

“ T h e y ’ r e very reason-ably priced and we think they are going to be very popular. People, who

have seen them already, seemed to really like them

“We had a committee meeting recently and we showed the commit-tee members the pins, and they couldn’t hand over their two dollars fast enough.”

Doddridge notes that during the 50th Anniversary celebra-tions, the District will have a tent or a booth in Centennial Park, and whenever they’re in the booth or tent, they will make the pins available.

“That is if we have any left, which is a big ‘if ’ at the end.”

After the week-long celebration is over, she says they will contin-ue to sell the pins at the District office and perhaps at the South Cariboo Visitor Centre

if there are any left.“We’re hoping to

reserve a few to give as special little gifts to our presenters and dignitar-ies who are going to be in town.”

The British Columbia Trappers Association (BCTA) would like to clarify a comment that appeared on page A4 in the June 25 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press.

Paul Blackwell, a local resident and director with the BCTA, says that the group’s president, Brian Dack, received “very nasty threaten-ing phone calls” from industry people in B.C., not from people asso-ciated with American lumber companies.

The battle to save our countryside from inva-sive plants has been going on for decades in British Columbia, and the fight has intensi-

fied in recent years as the foreign plants have quickly spread their tendrils and seeds.

These plants have been introduced to B.C. through garden stores for landscaping or as medicinal plants from foreign countries.

They have no natural pests or pathogens to keep them in check, so they encroach on hectares upon hectares of land – whether it’s in our forests, grass-land, hayfields, or along our highways and in our urban countryside.

Once invasive plants grab a foothold, they are incredibly difficult to kill off.

However, these invasive plants have also been unwittingly spread by the Ministry of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure by using gravel from pits that were contaminated by these foreign weeds.

The seeds were taken with the gravel and spread along the shoulders of the highways or for road building and repairs.

From there, these weeds were spread throughout the district and into ranchers’ fields, grasslands and countryside ditches.

The ministry is pouring millions of dollars into re-ducing the spread of the invasive species, especially those along roadways and in gravel pits

Invasive plants are often colourful, so residents and visitors often mistakenly identify them as our native wildflowers, and that causes problems.

For this reason, it was good to hear the provincial government’s June 25 announcement that it, in part-nership with the Invasive Species Council of B.C., was pumping $300,000 into a job-creation program to fund nine “weed-busters” in 100 Mile House, Wil-liams Lake and Kamloops.

They are targeting invasive plants that are im-pacting the recreation and cattle industries. These include spotted knapweed, burdock, Dalmatian toadflax and sulphur cinquefoil – and they are likely growing our neighbourhoods.

These weeds dramatically reduce available graz-ing forage for both cattle and wildlife by chocking off natural grass and taking control of hundreds of hectares of grassland.

The recent job-creation project will see the par-ticipants treating about 200 sites for invasive species during the next six months.

Equally important, however, is the fact they will be delivering invasive species awareness seminars to some 60 community organizations and schools.

However, we, the residents of the area, can also help in the battle to stop the spread of weeds by increasing our knowledge and awareness of invasive plants.

Go to the Cariboo Regional District’s website at www.cariboord.bc.ca/services/invasivespecies and click on CRD Invasive Plants. Then click on the invasive plants in our area and learn how to identify them and how to treat them.

Battle weeds

It is an embarrassing state of affairs when many small

businesses report that North-South trade with the United States is easier than East-West trade within Canada.

However, this is nothing new.

It was such a big concern when the North American Free Trade Agreement was coming into force more than two decades ago that the provinces put in place the Agreement on Internal Trade. Unfortunately, that agreement has been a colossal failure.

Fast forward to today and the prospects of a trade deal with Europe is shining a spotlight on our domestic dysfunction.

Do we want it to be easier for Canadian businesses to trade with other countries than other provinces? Well, of course not.

But the big question on everyone’s mind is whether Canada’s provincial and

federal governments can deliver a better outcome than last time around.

There are some reasons for optimism. On the premiers’ direction, Canada’s trade ministers met for the first time in four years last week to work toward a March 2016 deadline to have a new agreement in place.

As part of a business coalition, I presented to the group. The thing that struck me most was the non-partisan environment in the room. Politicians of all stripes seem serious about working together for the good of the country.

They are all saying the right things, but saying the right things is the easy part. Doing the right thing is harder.

It is very important we get it right this time? An

overwhelming majority – nine out of 10 – of Canada’s small businesses want the premiers to make free trade within Canada a priority, according to a recent survey done by the Canadian

Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

A successful agreement will have three characteristics. It will be comprehensive, covering all goods and services, with any exceptions clearly listed.

Accepting each other’s regulatory standards (mutual recognition) will be the default. If it is safe enough for Quebec, why shouldn’t it be safe enough for B.C.?

The alternative to accepting each other’s rules is trying to harmonize everything, which is a nightmare of epic

proportions in terms of time and energy. Finally, the agreement will be simple, with a clear and effective dispute mechanism.

International free trade agreements have thousands of pages where exceptions can hide, and copying that approach for Canada would be a mistake.

We are at a crossroads where provincial leaders can decide to be ambitious and finally make Canada free. They will likely be tempted to focus on eliminating only some barriers. This would be a mistake.

Only an ambitious deal will lead to the ambitious outcomes that Canada needs in the modern world.

Canada turns 150 in 2017. I can think of no better birthday present for the country than to deliver a real trade agreement that unites us in creating new opportunities.

To the editor:I wonder how much support

there would be locally for a ban on cosmetic pesticides.

I know that a few provinces and many municipalities have banned the chemicals. A ban is before Kamloops city council right now.

One reason for a ban is the damage these pesticides appear to be doing to the bee population. Bees are respon-sible for one-third of all food eaten on the planet. Without bees we would all be in a lot of trouble.

In the Ranchettes, we have two local beekeepers, and this year, their bees have fer-tilized the best apple crop for years.

We live in a rural area where dandelions are a part of the

landscape. They provide the first food for the bees in the spring and who hasn’t received a bouquet from a toddler who thinks they are absolutely beau-tiful.

Perhaps we could have a dis-

cussion on the subject to see how the population feels on this subject.

To the editor:Raising a child to age 18 is esti-

mated to take over $230,000, and that’s before the cost of post-sec-ondary education.

Over the past 30 years, median after-tax family incomes – middle class – have increased by less than half a percentage point per year on average.

Current federal programs to support families are quite a hodge-podge

Some are tied to income levels; some are not. Some are taxable;

some are not.The Harper government’s most

recent tax breaks make the sit-uation worse. They provide the biggest benefits to the wealthiest households, but nothing for those in greatest need.

The Liberal Party believes mid-dle-class Canadians, and all those working so hard just to get there, deserve more.

By rolling all the current sup-port programs together, topping them up with money saved by reducing government waste, and

then targeting benefits to lower- and middle-income households, we can create a new and better “Canada Child Benefit” (CCB).

It would provide a lot more help, indexed to inflation and com-pletely tax free, to nine out of 10 families.

For the lowest income house-holds (below $30,000 annually), the Liberal CCB would pay $6,400 per year for every child under the age of six, and $5,400 per year for every child over six but under 18.

That adds up to hundreds of

dollars more per child each year than what’s currently available. The amounts per child would gradually taper downward at high-er incomes.

A typical family with two chil-dren (one over six, one under six) and a household income of $90,000 would get $5,875 annu-ally – more than $2,500 better than under existing programs. If that same family makes $140,000, they would get $3,125 per year – over $1,000 better.

Our plan is progressive and fair

because it’s linked to income levels. It’s good economics because it’s efficient and transparent in put-ting more dollars in the hands of middle- and lower-income house-holds.

By providing more help to par-ents with the high cost of raising children, the Liberal Party’s CCB will be a powerful improvement in fighting poverty, bolstering the middle class and driving growth.

To the editor:A couple of weeks

ago, I attended my grandson’s high school graduation.

It was a very impres-sive, well organized, two-day performance.

I would like to con-gratulate the organizers and all of the residents in your city and sur-rounding communities for the input and the time and moneys spent to give the graduates a good send-off to their respective future jobs and employment.

I was impressed to see so many local groups

and organizations contributing to the scholarships of which my grandson was a recipient.

The graduation cer-emony was well run and certainly the speakers gave very well-received addresses.

The Saturday parade was certainly one of the highlights. The weather co-operated and there were so many modes of transportation for the graduates and escorts, giving the onlookers many chances to show their appreciation.

The volunteers are to

be thanked for their part in meeting the needs of the people requiring extra help – wheelchairs for the lengthy walk in the arena to their seats, bottles of water to quench their thirst and direction to seating to suit their needs.

As an outsider com-ing to this service, I feel the entire community deserves a great deal of praise and congratula-tions for a graduation performance not soon to be forgotten.

The man behind “HarperPAC” says it lived and died in a few days to make a point about third-party

advertising in Canadian politics.When it launched, I wondered why

he would choose such a deliberately provocative name. No, not “Harper,” but the acronym for “Political Action Committee,” which has come to symbolize the financial excesses of United States politics.

HarperPAC ran one radio ad, accusing Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau of blaming voters for his declining popularity, and suggesting that Trudeau’s “months of mistakes” are a likelier cause. No kidding.

HarperPAC spokesman Stephen Taylor, who like Stephen Harper before him, has worked for the National Citizens’ Coalition, announced the end of the project last week.

“We have contributed to a new discussion about political financing in a fixed election era that is critical to our democracy,” Taylor said. “We note that this discussion only occurred once a right-wing analog of the left’s PAC-style efforts emerged on the scene.”

Indeed, it was when HarperPAC emerged that muttering began about “dark money” in Canadian politics. Unifor, Anti-Conservative front LeadNow and the many faces of the Tides Foundation somehow failed to ignite much discussion in the Canadian media.

Taylor launched the bid in response to the emergence of “Engage Canada,” a union-financed action committee that he said was part of a broader effort by the left to oust the Conservatives. Engage Canada portrays itself as a brave alternative to shadowy right-wing groups, such as Working Canadians, which has also run pro-Conservative ads.

Engage Canada’s latest ad plays on the union movement’s cherished “inequality” theme, selecting statistics to portray the wealthy as making out far better than the rest of us in Harper’s Canada. (The notion that “inequality” can and should be fixed by ever-higher taxes on “the rich” staggers on, zombie-like, as if

capitalism was the cause of poverty.)Two recent developments have led to all

this. Scheduled elections every four years have finally taken effect at the federal level, after a series of minority governments. And courts have repeatedly struck down

efforts to restrict third-party spending in the so-called “pre-campaign” period as an unwarranted restriction on free speech.

The B.C. Liberal government tried and failed several times to restrict third-party spending, largely in response to the million-dollar tirades of the teachers’ union. Former attorney general Wally Oppal used to warn about American-style influence by wealthy interest

groups targeting scheduled elections.Their strategy was not so much to keep

corporate money out of British Columbia politics as to keep it flowing through the B.C. Liberal Party.

This spring, the B.C. Liberal majority passed Bill 20, the Election Amendment

Act. Not only did this recognize the freedom of outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with pre-campaign restrictions on registered political parties and candidates.

NDP MLA Leonard Krog warned that this sets the stage for “some mad Wild West show,” with politicians so desperate to raise money they start looking for the B.C. equivalent of renting out the Lincoln bedroom in the White House.

The big difference between the pre-campaign ads for this fall’s federal election and the next provincial vote in 2017 is that corporate and union donations to parties and candidates have been eliminated at the federal level. That means more money available for third-party campaigns, but it seems to be fairly well distributed between the two sides, the Conservatives and everybody else.

Here in the Wild West, nothing’s going to change as long as the B.C. Liberals are in the saddle.

To the editor:People think the Green Party

of Canada is a left-wing party, but this is a mistake.

The Green’s economic policy is more ethically “True Blue” than Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s.

If you are a staunch Conservative who is dismayed with what Mr. Harper has done to Conservative values and the Conservative party, then you

really owe it to yourself to take a good, hard look at Green eco-nomic policy.

Green Party of Canada Leader Elizabeth May believes in the power of the market and is more the true successor to the man-tle of John Diefenbaker, Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark than Mr. Harper ever was.

Wounded bear put down on North Shore

NELSON - A wounded bear dragging its hind legs was put out of its misery on the North Shore by RCMP Saturday (June 20) afternoon.

“It looks like somebody shot it with a crossbow. The conservation officer had been looking for the bear and then it was located near Ridgewood Road," Staff Sgt. Leanne Tuchscherer told the Star.

"We heard reports that it was dragging its two hind legs. It had been shot the night previous by a crossbow."

Tuchscherer said a member of the RCMP then shot the bear. Any further investigation will be done by the conservation officer.

North Shore resident Ron Welwood called this incident a "senseless killing". He reported being outside when he heard three gun shots, followed by four more a short while later.

"I saw a very large light brown black bear saun-tering through my backyard about two days prior to the incident and my first reaction was that I hoped it was not the victim of those shots I heard."

He said the incident is alarming.

Vandals break into SORCO, kill rats used for food OSOYOOS - Why?That’s what volunteers at the South Okanagan

Rehabilitation Centre for Owls (SORCO) are asking in the wake of a disturbing case of vandalism recently.

Manager Dale Belvedere reported that someone broke into the centre on June 6 or 7 and poisoned rats used to feed their birds of prey.

“We have no idea why. We have all been banging our heads against the wall as to why.”

The culprit forced open the front gate and entered the food centre where rats are raised as live food for the raptors. Two days later most of the rats were found dead.

Belvedere said a pathology test confirmed that the rats died from a poisonous substance.

None of the birds were injured, but Belvedere said their mascot “Houdini” exhibited some side effects that may have been the result of eating one of the poisoned rats.


100 Mile RCMP responded to 80 com-plaints and calls for service during the week. Some highlights are attached.

Took vehicle without consentOn June 28, 100 Mile

RCMP responded to a report that a youth had taken a vehicle without permission from a resi-dence in Deka Lake and had also driven the vehi-cle without a licence.

The male youth was located after the fact and arrested for taking an auto without consent. He was released on a promise to appear with a court date of Sept. 8 in 100 Mile House.

Pedestrian knocked downOn June 28, police

and emergency crews responded to a collision in the Save-On-Foods parking lot where a pedestrian had been struck at low speed by a vehicle, which had been parking.

The female pedestri-an was examined at the scene and then trans-ported by ambulance

to the 100 Mile District General Hospital. The investigation into this incident is continuing.

Rollover incidentOn June 24, police

and emergency crews responded to a single vehicle rollover incident on Highway 24 near the intersection of Lakes Boulevard at Sheridan Lake.

The female driver of a Ford Focus lost con-trol while negotiating a curve. She attempted to counter-steer, but the vehicle ended up going into the ditch and rolling several times.

The driver, who suffered minor inju-ries, was taken to 100 Mile District General Hospital. Speed is believed to be a factor in this incident. The inves-tigation into this matter is continuing.

Excessive speedThere was one inci-

dent of excessive speed during the past week.

A local driver was observed operating a vehicle 51 km/h over the posted speed limit. The driver received a fine and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.

RCMP, emergency services busy with motor vehicle incidents

Sometime between 9 and 10 p.m. on June 24, a 2005, 26-foot, yellow-and-white Gearbox travel trailer was stolen from the 3900 block of Abbey Frontage Road near Lac la Hache.

Witnesses reported seeing an older Dodge pickup truck hooking up to the unit at that time. The plate attached to the trailer is UTD24K.

If you have any information on this or any other crimes in the 100 Mile House area, call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). You can also contact www.bccrimestoppers.com. Your identity will remain unknown. Should your information lead to the arrest of the responsible party, Crime Stoppers will pay cash for the TIP.

Marjorie and Tom Nicholson feel lucky to have sustained only minor scratches when a driverless pickup truck rolled out of a driveway and collided with their vehicle while they were parked in the McDonald’s drive thru in Williams Lake on June 24. The owner of the pickup truck, a 61-year-old Williams Lake man, was reportedly in serious condition fol-lowing the collision. Police say he attempted to jump back in the driver’s seat as the truck started to roll backward, but he fell to the ground and was pulled under the truck and run over by the moving vehicle.

Central GM in 100 Mile House is getting a new look.

Ongoing renovations at the local automobile dealership have to do with matching an image program by General Motors, which requires the outside of its deal-ership entranceways to have a particular style and finish.

The construction should be done in about a month, says Central GM owner Tom Bachynski.

In the meantime, it’s business as usual at the dealership located on Exeter Road off Highway 97.

“We’re very receptive to the fact we’re making it a little bit more dif-ficult to reach out to us, so we’re making sure the

car deals are extremely good,” Bachynski says.

“We were pretty excited when we built the building in 2009 with the support we got from the commu-

nity. It’s kind of exciting to see a refresh of the building and, hopeful-ly, the community will come out and enjoy the new building when it’s done.”

Lea Smirfitt, South Cariboo AGE-FRIENDLY Initiative community co-ordinator, says the road trip to the Interlakes on June 24 was a fabulous success.

Forty-five community elders boarded the 100 Mile House Wranglers bus at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre at 10 a.m. and headed off to the Interlakes for a visit. They were joined by an additional van carrying resi-dents from Carefree Manor.

The caravan headed down Horse Lake Road to the Interlakes Community Center where several vol-unteers from the Interlakes Community Association (ICA) had prepared a deli-cious lunch for the crowd of 70 people, which also included local residents, Smirfitt says.

They were welcome by ICA members Pam Canty and Gyl Connaty, Smirfitt adds.

“Gyl gave an overview of the centre, including a tour of the industrial kitchen

where the frozen meals for seniors are prepared by a team of volunteers.”

These meals are distrib-uted at a cost of $4 each at Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre in 100 Mile House. Call 250-395-5155 for fur-ther information.

While there, the seniors shared many stories, includ-ing one from Willy Seminoff who recalled installing a furnace in the original Roe Lake Hall 25 years ago, she adds.

Smirfitt acknowledged and thanked the Interlakes folks for their gracious hos-pitality. She also thanked Darrel Warman who co-ordinated the trip together with several Interlakes vol-unteers.

Following lunch, they hopped back on the bus and toured local resorts – Sheridan Park Resort, Loon Bay Resort and Sheridan Lake Resort. Local history and background informa-tion was provided by Mieke

McIntosh of the Friends of Sheridan Lake Society about the rainbow trout egg-releas-ing channels at the Sheridan Park Resort, Smirfitt says.

“Several people are considering vacationing closer to home after seeing the attractions and facilities available at local resorts.”

On the way back to 100 Mile House, the bus stopped at the historic Water Tower at Lone Butte for a quick refresh-ment break, she explains.

Attendees included resi-

dents of Lac la Hache, 108 Mile Ranch, 100 Mile House, Horse Lake area, Lone Butte, Clinton and from across the Interlakes area.

It was a co-ordinated effort by many people and organizations to make this day, which was packed full of activities, Smirfitt says, adding she wants to give special acknowledgement to Brian Rusaw who skilfully guided the bus along the lake country roads.

“We want to give an addi-

tional thank-you to Tom Bachynski of Central GM for going the extra mile to arrange the bus, which is available for charter from the 100 Mile House Wranglers.”

She adds there was a lot of interest by the seniors who each expressed their appre-ciation and enjoyment of this event.

FAST bytes• Announcements

included information about several upcoming events of particular interest to seniors, including a seniors’ tent, sponsored by the Lioness Club, at the upcom-ing 100 Mile House 50th Anniversary celebrations.

• The South Cariboo AGE-FRIENDLY Initiative is a project of the District of 100 Mile House undertaken by the South Cariboo Community Planning Council.

• Funding includes grants from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, District of 100 Mile House, Cariboo Regional District and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 260-100 Mile House.

AGE-FRIENDLY team scores a big win

A large group of seniors boarded the 100 Mile House Wranglers team bus for a trip to the Interlakes Community Center at Roe Lake as part of a local South Cariboo AGE-FRIENDLY event on June 24.

The South Cariboo Sustainability Society is presenting three half-day workshops and one weekend workshop on the subject of permac-ulture during the next three months.

On July 4, Rod Henneker will be host-ing a workshop on Heritage Farming Practises at Horse Lake Community Farm Co-op, 6298 Doman Rd. in Lone Butte, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This is a must see for anyone wanting to see sustainable farming put into practise. C.E.E.D.S. is about as close to true permaculture farming as you can find in the area.

Henneker will give a tour of the 133-acre farm with discussion on the land and the inhab-itants – what grows well, making it grow better, soil type and improvements, animal practises and water flow

and usage on the farm, etc. There should be a lot of growing animals and vegetable at this time.

Other workshops• Aug. 1 – half-day

workshop: Growing vegetables in your own back yard, Rod Endacott, with a perma-culture perspective, will discuss turning a vacant city lot into a flourish-ing vegetable garden and quiet haven.

• Sept. 12 – weekend workshop: Introduction to permaculture at a local Permaculture centre. Details to follow, but the plan is to make it a full weekend of permaculture lec-tures coupled with tours and hands-on garden-ing.

• Sept. 26 – half-day workshop: Seed Saving at Karen’s place in the 105. Karen Johnson Puckett will lead a workshop on seed sav-

ing, coupled with a tour of her “backyard.” Karen’s backyard comes complete with heritage turkeys and alpacas and a variety of flowers and vegetable beds.

The half-day work-shops are free, but donations are welcome for the venues.

Plan on two to three hours of activities; bring a snack or lunch and refreshments will be supplied.

There will be a charge for the week-

end workshop, but it will be reasonable as BC Hydro, the Cariboo Regional District and the District of 100 Mile House provided grant funds. More details will follow.

Register before the events as space is lim-ited. Contact Peter Jarvis, 250-791-7284 or [email protected], Shelley Tegart at 250-395-3364 or [email protected], or see more information on the SCSS website.

Walking group welcomes new members

By Doris E RufliIn the fall of 2014,

Heather Greenhalgh arrived at the Forest Grove Elementary School to fill a newly created teaching posi-tion due to school expansion.

In the spring 2015, she realized her students (grades 5, 6 and 7) did not know much about the extensive history of the community they are living in and decided to organize walk-abouts. Together with local historian and writer, Marianne Van Osch, she hatched a plan to visit sites of historic inter-est throughout Forest Grove.

On May 12, their first outing took them to 4514 Eagle Creek Rd. to expe-rience the mounting of a plaque, commemorating the old teacherage built in 1951. Current owner, Sheri-Lyn Wilson, has lived there with her dog Nikita for the past 10 years and says apart from maintenance work

and a small addition, the house stands as built several decades ago.

Two more historical expeditions have since taken place. One took the group up Shaw Road and Auld Drive to visit the local cemetery, with graves dating back more than 100 years.

This visit involved reading the information posted at the entrance, as well as exploring the site independently, a task the students accom-plished with dignity and respect.

The third walk-about took students and teach-er to the original Forest Grove Lodge and Store along Eagle Creek Road,

where its heritage and significance for the area were discussed. Again, the students explored the area individually, before returning to the classroom and had more lively delibera-tions about the history of Forest Grove.

Some questions raised during those excur-sions were about the local environment, and Greenhalgh is look-ing into expanding her students’ knowledge of indigenous trees and plants, as well as relat-ed topics when classes resume in the fall.

Doris E Rufli is the Forest Grove correspon-dent.

Entertainment

The Hootstock 2015 stage will see dozens of crowd-pleasing acts, including some of the best indie music in British Columbia.

The fourth annual music festival at the Old Bradley Creek School House near Forest Grove is set to rock July 24-26.

Close to 40 music,

dance and spoken word artists are taking the stage throughout the three-day festival.

“It’s just got better and better,” organizer Steve Roy of the fes-tival says, adding this year’s lineup is “pret-ty fresh,” while some popular acts are return-ing.

Roy mentions some premier artists to see this year, such as psy-chedelic funk bands The Party on High Street from Victoria and Saturn Alien from Montreal, as well as the Fort St. John-based roots duo, Twin Peaks.

He also mentions

the return of magi-cian Jesaja Class from Nemiah Valley, and the addition of some fire dancers.

“There will be a little bit of everything for people,” Roy adds. “I would say it’s the best of any small festival in British Columbia.”

Vegetarian food vendors are on site, which is located close to 16-kilometres past Forest Grove.

Hootstock is a non-corporate, volun-teer-run event.

Advanced tick-ets can be purchased at Nuthatch Books in 100 Mile House and The Guitar Cellar in

Williams Lake. Weekend passes at

the gate: $70 (adults), $60 (seniors and youths), and $150 (fam-ily pass).

Friday: $25 (adults), $20 (seniors and youth).

Saturday: $35 (adults), $25 (seniors and youth).

Sunday: $25 (adults), $20 (seniors and youth).

Children 12 and under are free and must be accompanied by an adult.

Lions club newsThe 108 Mile Lions

Club had a success-ful year and the Lions would like to thank all the residents who sup-

ported the bingo nights that were held at the 108 Mile Community Hall during the 2014-15 sea-son. The proceeds from the bingo events enabled the Lions to donate $1,500 to the Mile 108 Elementary School.

Because of the dona-tion, the school was able to provide two $500 bursaries, as well as responding to local requests for donations.

The Lions Club decided to apply for another bingo licence for the coming year because of the past sea-son’s support.

Hopefully, the bingo nights will begin dur-ing the month of September. Dates will be advertised as soon as they are confirmed.

HOT WEATHER TIP If it's hot, your pet may be in trouble! During warm weather pet guardians must take precautions against the danger of heat exhaustion and heatstroke for their pets. The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet. Leaving your pet in a car with the air conditioning on is also taking a risk as many pets have died as the result of a faulty air-conditioning system. Dogs (and cats) cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. On summer days the air and upholstery in your vehicle can heat up to high temperatures that make it impossible for pets to cool themselves. Your dog will be more comfortable if left at home. Note that dogs also risk overheating if exercised outside during the day in hot weather. Choose the early morning and evening when it's cooler, to exercise your dog and always remember to bring extra water for your dog and take lots of breaks.

Coach Casey Hall's expectations are simple: score goals and play as a team the best they can.

While members of the 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association have been busy preparing for the upcoming Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial Cup (U13-U15), players on the local U14 host squad have been busy too.

And they're about to get busier as extra practices are slated every week now leading into the provin-cial tournament, which is drawing 24 teams from around British Columbia to the Soccer Park in 100 Mile House for eight team round robins leading to single elimination knockout matches, July 9-12.

There are a lot of nerves and excitement around

100 Mile House's squad, which has played only a handful of competitive games together in the Cariboo Youth Soccer League this season.

The teams pushing through at the provincial level are usually more experienced ones that have larger numbers of players to choose from, have tryouts, and make cuts, Hall explains.

100 Mile House is a smaller, younger squad in comparison.

However, there's a lot of “real talent” up front in 100 Mile House's striker and midfield positions, the coach adds.

“I'm hoping they'll be able to put some more balls in the net for us. We have to play defensively minded, play a safe style of play. But, like I say, we do have some real talent, talent that would be tal-ent anywhere in this province. I'm hoping they'll be

able to put some points up.”With respect to how he'll measure the team's

success in the tournament, in which 100 Mile is likely to match up against some equally talented and more experienced teams, Hall says he wants to see the boys score in every match they play, and win at least one game at the provincial level, while giving it their all.

“I know it sounds cliché,” he says. “But that's what I want to see out of the boys – they're very best.”

The U14 roster includes: Wylon Hall, Cameron Ardiel, Dylan Carr, Pete Peterson, Adam Sullivan, Tyson Fitzgerald, Jake Cuttler, Hayden Prodnuk, Noah Dykstra, Josh Hutchins, Nigel Swann, Lee Machete, Dylan Newhook, Ryan Grant and Cory Mapson.

Young squad has real talent

Forman to skate for Minot State UniversityTwo years of hock-

ey in Saskatchewan is leading to four more in North Dakota for a big local blueliner.

Reece Forman, 20, a 6 foot 2, 200-plus pound defencemen, is suiting up for the Minot State University Beavers next season and studying criminal justice on a partial scholarship.

Forman played for the Nipawin Hawks of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League from 2013 to 2015.

He tallied two goals and 20 assists from the point last season and six

points in the playoffs. Forman, who wants

to join the RCMP after completing his post sec-ondary education, was offered partial schol-arships by seven post secondary institutions and settled on Minot State in part because his former Nipawin Hawks captain is also playing hockey there, and his billet sister from Saskatchewan is heading there too, he explains.

“The school seemed really good. I'm pretty excited. A lot of it is schooling, but it's excit-

ing I still have four more years of hockey.”

Minot State won its first ever American

Collegiate Hockey Association champion-

ship, a national title, in 2012-13.

Submitted photoLocal defenceman Reece Forman, who played his last two seasons in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, is moving on to Minot State University in North Dakota, where he's joining the Beavers Men's Ice Hockey team and studying criminal justice.

Golfers took aim at $1 million and raised $3,000 for charity as part of an annual Psalm 23 Transition Society hole in one fundraiser sponsored by Sunrise Ford Ltd. that wrapped up on June 21.

The 10-day contest ended with finalists taking their best shot from 160 yards away on hole No. 10 at the 108 Golf Resort without a $1 million winner, but three top finalists took

home a nice share of $6,000 in prizes. Tom and Christine Gallagher donated one of the first place prizes – a seven night stay at the Old Key Resort at Disney World in Orlando, Florida worth $4,200.

Sven Birkner came the closest, landing his ball 28 feet from the hole. Marvin Declare was second, off the mark by 35 feet. Jack Rausch was third place at 40 feet away from a

million-dollar shot. The Business

Challenge Cup, spon-sored by Central GM, was won this year by Bell-E-Acres Recreation. Second place went to the Psalm 23 staff team, followed by the Psalm 23 stu-dents team.

The event raised $3,000 for Psalm 23 Transition Society's Village of Hope, a 59 Mile area rehabilitation facility for men who may be homeless or bat-tling addiction.

“We thank all who participated and the many, many donors, and want them to understand how impor-tant their part was," says Psalm 23 Transition Society executive direc-tor Marvin Declare.

"We also owe a debt of gratitude to Theo, Jeff, Andy and the staff at the 108 Resort for host-ing our event over the 10 days, along with the Psalm 23 students, who put in such a great effort and worked so hard."

Local healthcare was the real winner when

a golf tournament was played in 100 Mile House on June 20.

The event, for which golfers of all skill lev-els were invited to “drive one for the health of your heart”, at the Marmot Ridge Golf Course raised over $2,500 for the South Cariboo Health Foundation.

The funds are going towards the purchase of two new electrocardio-gram (ECG) analyzers for the 100 Mile House Hospital lab.

The nine-hole tour-

nament saw close to 50 golfers, a great meal, and fantastic support from volunteers and sponsors.

The first place golfers were Met Boyson and Helen Bailey.

Kevin Anderson won the putting contest.

Submitted photo Sven Birkner, left, was congratulated by Psalm 23 Transition Society executive director Marvin Declare on June 21.

100 Mile House was recently awarded a high school boys regional soccer championship set to take place in the fall.

Peter Skene Ogden

Secondary School (PSO) was granted the North Central zones, kicking off Oct. 30-31, at a North Central District Athletics Association meeting on June 23.

The school is already slated to host the girls championships in May 2016.

A majority of the games will be played at the Soccer Park in 100 Mile House, but PSO home games dur-ing school days will be played at the school to get a good crowd and school spirit going, says teacher and coach Sean Glanville.

"I think it's been quite a while since PSO has hosted a zone champi-onship tournament for

one of the major sports. For us to be hosting two in the same year will be phenomenal for both our soccer programs and the soccer commu-nity here in 100 Mile House."

The boys didn't have a soccer team last year because of the teacher strike. Next fall, the boys will start practices basically the first day back to school in early

September. Glanville is hoping

that hosting zones will entice some of the bet-ter athletes around the school to join the team.

“I know we have some talent around the school, but we are pret-

ty much starting from scratch.

"I'm hoping we can come a long way in just the six weeks to prepare for zones and be able to field a competitive squad.”

Warm sunshine blessed the 108 Golf Resort when over two dozen 108 Ladies Club members played 18 holes for the Dorothy Olive Franklin Memorial and also the back nine for regu-lar competition of low gross, low net, closest to the pin and long drives on June 23.

Carol Ohlund, Annie McKave, Judy Scarrow and Cathy Waite made birdies.

Sue Pinkerton shot closest to the pin in the third flight.

The longest drives on No. 17 were hit by Shelley Larson in the first flight, Shannon Knapp in the second and Angela Batalha in the third flight.

Annie McKave shot lowest gross in the first flight, followed Deb Case and Shelley Larson. Lowest net was Ohlund, followed by Waite and Char Wahnschaff.

The second flight saw Joanne Garrow fire low-est gross, with Maureen Menzies in second and Ann Pinkney third. Batalha scored lowest net in the second flight, followed by Lavern Martin and Leslie Bell.

In the third flight, Pinkerton shot low gross, with Sharon Thompson second and Gloria Corno third. Pauline Weigelt shot lowest net in the third flight, followed by Debbie Garrow and Del Gunn.

A special twist was added to the 108 Ladies Club round on June 16.

Thirty-three golfers took part in a game of “Crystal Ball”, a fun game that creates great team camaraderie, at the 108 Golf Resort.

Played in teams of four or five players, the game sees each player take a turn playing with the special crystal ball on different holes on the front nine, and cal-culate their net score for that hole. The best net score of the other three or four players is count-ed. Should the player hitting the crystal ball lose the ball at any time, the team is disqualified.

The first place team

won by a single stroke with a total score of 65. The team included Weigelt, Waite, Corno and Gunn.

The second place team (66) had Scarrow, Garrow, Batalha, Lorraine Scott and Lorraine McCaffrey.

The third place team (69) included Lori Henderson, Garrow, Case and Vicki Sanford.

In fourth place (70) was Heather Matsuda, Janet Roux, Ohlund and Corinne French.

Ohlund dropped a birdie on No. 3.

Closest to the pin shooters in their respective flights were McKave, Menzies and Corno.

The longest drives in their respective flights went to Scarrow, Menzies and Scott.

The 108 Ladies Club saw 35 members hit the links on June 9.

Ohlund, Case, Darlene DeAngelis, Clara Koehn and Waite

all made birdies.In the first flight,

Waite recorded the low-est gross score, followed by Case, McKave and Scarrow.

Ohlund shot lowest net in the first flight, followed by McCaffrey, Shelley Larson and Janet Roux.

The second flight saw Menzies fire lowest gross, with Knapp, sec-ond, Lori Henderson, third, and Shirley Boyson, fourth.

Weigelt scored lowest net in the second flight, trailed by A. Pinkney, Bell and Corno.

Garrow shot low-est gross in the third flight, followed by Lynn Smeds, Corinne French and Eileen King.

Angie Wahnschaff shot low net in the fourth flight, with

Wendy Foster in sec-ond, Thompson, third, and Millie Halcro, fourth.

Case, Knapp and Garrow hit the longest drives on No. 16, while Ohlund, Boyson and Batalha shot closest to the pin on No. 12.

“We are having a great season so far thanks to our captain, Sharon Thompson, who is doing a great job set-ting a welcoming and respectful tone,” says 108 Ladies Club mem-ber Carol Lidstone. “Also the course is in great condition, the staff at the pro shop are fantastic, and the food and staff at the Hanger Restaurant is great.

"We are very for-tunate to have such a great facility and Ladies' group.”

Rod will give a tour of the 133 acre farm with discussion on land and inhabitants - what grows well, making it grow better, soil type and improvements, animal practices, water flow and usage etc. There should be lots of growing animals and vegetables to see.

Short workshops are free, donations to the venue are welcomed. Weekend permaculture cost is to be determined. Numbers are limited so registration is required.

SUMMERHOURS

By Monika Paterson

There was a 60th wedding anniver-sary celebration

held at Lac la Hache Pioneer Centre, May 16.

Bea and Ed Kukkola and 50 of their closest friends travelled from all over British Columbia and Alberta to join them cel-ebrating 60 wonderful years of marriage. They enjoyed a catered dinner, danced and did a lot of reminiscing.

Married on May 14, 1955 in Maple Ridge, Bea and Ed met at one of the regular Saturday night community dances at the hall in Pitt Meadows in 1951. Their first date was a trip to Vancouver’s Stanley Park, as Bea had never seen the park before.

Ed was born and lived in the outskirts of Maple Ridge, at Webster’s Corners. Bea’s fam-ily moved to Maple Ridge from Winnipeg in 1948.

After getting married, Bea and Ed moved to New Westminster for a few months before Ed was transferred to 100 Mile House for work in August 1955. He worked as a diesel serviceman and travelled between Williams Lake and Spences Bridge.

They purchased their property in Lac la Hache in 1958, a few years later their son, Brian, was born.

In 1963, they move back to the Coast and lived in Burnaby, as Ed worked at several different jobs with Cummins Diesel that took

him all over B.C., Alberta, and the United States.

While working at Cummins Diesel, some of his jobs included being a foreman, service manager (managing 100 mechan-ics) and later he became a training co-ordinator for B.C. and Alberta.

Ed was also the owner’s representative and over-looked the building of the company’s new Calgary offices and facility, which he later also managed.

Following that, Ed travelled with the owner, when they purchased New West Diesel and it became a division of Cummins,

which Ed managed until his retirement.

Bea worked at several different jobs, including the Bank of Commerce in 100 Mile House from 1959 until 1963, then at the Bank of Commerce in Burnaby for four years before retiring and staying home to raise Brian.

In 1991, Ed retired from Cummins Diesel after 42 years, and after living for a short time in Maple Ridge, they moved to their property in Lac la Hache, where they and Brian built their retirement home.

Since retiring, Ed and Bea have done a bit of

travelling and have also become members of both the Lac la Hache O.A.P.O. and the Creekside Seniors Activity Centre group, and they enjoy fishing when they can.

Ed and Bea enjoy spend-ing time enjoying life with their family – Brian, his wife, Roberta, and grand-children, Benjamin and Tyler.

Asked what their secret is to their long marriage, Ed responded “We love each other, still.”

Asking about what advice they would give newlyweds, Bea says, “You need to take the good with

the bad, the ups with the downs.

“If you love each other, the biggest thing is to try to get along.”

The young generation of today doesn’t work through things, she says, adding they have no toler-ance. “People need to have more tolerance of things.”

Bea, now 78 and Ed, who just recently turned 85, attribute their good health and longevity to a clean way of life. Neither has smoked, they drink in moderation and live a healthy lifestyle.

Monika Paterson is the Lac la Hache correspondent.

Kukkolas celebrate 60 years togetherBea: key to having a long marriage is trying to get along

Ed and Bea Kukkola were married in Maple Ridge on May 4, 1955, and the secret to their success is “taking the good with the bad and the ups with downs and work through things together.”

Lac la Hache residents Ed and Bea Kukkola celebrated 60 years of marriage with their family and friends May 16.

The 100 Mile House Homeschoolers group recently went on a tour of the Tatton Road Sheep Ranch.

They were treated to holding and bottle feed-

ing the lambs. Rachel Sikiric’s and Lars Mapson’s favourite part was watching them being fed.

One baby had been born only two hours before, and was already up and walking. The ranch had about 300 newborn Marino sheep.

All of their sheep are fed organically and are used for their wool, as well as meat.

To the group’s delight, the ranchers also owned three dogs and many other animals.

The homeschoolers group started regular hikes with the leader Kristi Iverson, as well as other events and had a large amount of fun. There will be a year-end get-together.

Events will be starting up again in September and anyone is welcome to try out homeschool-ing, no matter what age. For more informa-tion, contact the 100 Mile Home Learners on Facebook.

Candice-Rose Mapson is 11 years old.

LIFE WITH PETS

Summer is a great time to get out hik-ing or walking with your dog. In these warm temperatures, it is important to be very careful that you don’t overheat your dog as heat stress can cause severe medical issues and may even be fatal. Dark-colored dogs, long coated dogs and short-faced breeds are particu-larly susceptible to this condition. Avoid walking your dog in the heat of the day, even for short peri-ods. Early mornings and late evenings are a much safer time to take your dog for some much need-ed summer exercise. Swimming is an ex-cellent form of ex-ercise that your dog can do and keep cool at the same time. It is also great exercise for those older dogs with arthritis as it pro-

vides � exibility for the joints without putting extra stress on them.Also be vigilant of

pets that may rest in the shade under ve-hicles or equipment. Check underneath before you start your engine. Sharing the trails

and hiking paths pro-vides lots of opportu-nities to meet dogs that you don’t know. If you are the owner of a small dog, keep in mind that some large dogs may not

be familiar with small dogs. Allowing your dog to run up to a strange dog without a proper greeting or to bark at the other dog may invoke an aggressive response. Use care and com-mon sense when in-troducing two dogs that do not know each other. Dogs that are obviously aggres-sive or overexcited are best to be avoid-ed rather than forcing the issue. Some dogs are naturally more re-laxed and social than others. Dogs tend to be more relaxed and at ease when they are on a loose lead. Pull-ing on a tight leash increases frustration and may cause other-wise friendly dogs to become agitated.Wishing you and

your pets a fun and sun-� lled summer.

5 signs your home insulation is not workingSome insulations can lose performance over time, sustain damage or simply no longer meet updated building codes. It’s an issue that can be costly, because if your home’s insulation isn’t doing its job, you could be wasting money and resources.You don’t have to be a trained professional to know you have a problem. Here are several signs that your insulation is lacking:

1. Energy bills - High energy bills are the biggest red � ag, especially relative to the size, age or condition of the home. If you have a run-away energy bill, your insulation may need to be upgraded. This can be the case, even in a newer home.

2. Drafts - Do you need to put on a sweater even with the heat on, or does your air conditioner run incessantly without making enough of a difference? That’s a sign of a de� ciency in your building envelope.

3. Inconsistent temperatures - Is it warm in one room, but cold in another? Are your walls or interior closets cold to the touch? It’s possible that while your whole home may not need attention, certain rooms may need to be addressed.

4. Condition of insulating materials - Consider the age of your insulation. Would it stand up to today’s building codes? Is it in good shape or is it crumbly? If your insulation has degraded or isn’t performing, it’s time for an upgrade. But be careful, as certain types of older insulation, such as Vermiculite insulation, may contain asbestos. If you’re unsure, do not disturb it and hire a professional to conduct testing and/or removal. This should not be a do-it-yourself job.

5. You detect pests and/or moisture - Insulation - and your building envelope - can be compromised by the presence of pests. Moisture is an even bigger obstacle to optimal thermal performance, as some types of insulation can sag or collapse when damp, leaving voids and causing air to � ow in and out of the building envelope.While some solutions may be more complicated, requiring the opening of the existing wall cavities, others can be addressed more easily. The best way to improve thermal performance and increase energy ef� ciency is to upgrade attic insulation. Laying Comfortbatt insulation over existing material to achieve a minimum depth of 16 inches, or an R-value of R50, is a simple DIY project that can generate immediate results. To fully assess your home and explore remediation solutions, consider hiring a professional home energy auditor to evaluate your home’s energy performance. Even in a new home, the results may be surprising.
