Bill Friesen was having an nap when he was jerk-ed awake by a deafening boom, followed imme-diately by a loud crack and a bang that shook his Smith Road home at 108 Mile Ranch around 2:30 p.m. on June 23.

“My first guess was it was a gas explosion. We [Bill and his wife, Nora,] had experienced a huge propane gas explosion in 1966 in Mackenzie that blew the roof off of the trailer and the six kids inside with it. All of the kids survived, which was

a miracle.“It was so loud I heard

it 10 miles away when I was skidding a moose out of the bush.”

The 79-year-old says he knew a bolt of lightning had knocked down the large fir tree, which he “gues-timates” was around 120 feet tall with a three-foot diameter butt, in his front yard.

“I didn’t have to get out of bed to know what happened, as I could see the tree was down in the window.”

When he tried to go

out the front door to see what happened, Bill says the downed tree blocked the doorway, so he had to go out the garage door. When he walked outside,

a neighbour was already there to see if he was all right and then went and got his chainsaw and cut the tree away from the door-way.

According to an observer, Bill’s i m m a c u l a t e l y

kept front yard looked like a war zone, with chunks of wood strewn everywhere, including

his neighbours’ yards.Noting nobody was

hurt, Bill agrees there were pieces of tree every-where and all that was left standing was around a 10-foot splintered trunk.

He notes the top 20-25 feet of the tree came off in one piece, and then there was a three-inch gash along on the trunk for about 30 feet and “then it exploded after that.”

His home sustained “quite a bit of damage,” as a half a dozen pieces of wood smashed into the front siding and a two-foot long, 10-pound chunk of wood went through his front window, which is

now boarded up. “There were pieces

of wood thrown every-where, including the neighbours on both sides. My grandson picked up a piece, which weighed 50 pounds, in the back yard and was about 200 feet from the tree.”

Only small pieces landed in the neighbours’ yards, he explains.

Bill says he didn’t lose power and only his TV was not working.

“I did get heck from one of the firefighters for not calling 9-1-1, but I didn’t think about doing that.”

Lightning bolt turns tree into kindling

Around 2:30 on June 23, a bolt of lightning hit the 120-foot fir tree in Bill and Nora Friesen’s front yard in the 108 Mile Ranch and blew it apart. Pieces of the once majestic tree were strewn throughout Friesen’s and his neighbours’ yards.

Premier Christy Clark has announced a new province-wide, 10-point anti-bullying strategy in an effort to ensure every child feels safe, accepted and respected, regardless of his or her gender, race, culture, religion, or sexual orien-tation.

The ERASE Bullying (Expect Respect And a Safe Education) plan includes 10 elements to begin in the 2012/13 school year.

C a r i b o o - C h i l c o t i n Teachers` Association president Joan Erb says it is welcome news.

“The CCTA is very pleased to learn the government has upped the anti on bullying. As educators we see daily the deplorable impact bullying has on our most vulnerable stu-dents.”

Bullying destroys self-confidence and too often results some form of vio-lence or self-destruction, she explains.

OCP hearing held

About a dozen residents attend-ed the June 9 public hearing for the Green Lake and Area Official Community Plan (OCP).

Cariboo Reg-ional District Area L Director Bruce Rattray says no new issues were raised for what he hopes is now the final draft after about three years of revisions.

An earlier ver-sion was sent to Community, Sport and Cultural D e v e l o p m e n t Minister Ida Chong for approval about 18 months ago.

Chong rejected it because the OCP did not refer to the province’s Guide to First Nations Engagement on Government Stat-utory Approvals (Interim), leading to these latest amendments.

Both the CRD and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District share common boundaries within the OCP area.

It will now return for final readings by both boards before going back for ministry approval.


100 Mile Elementary School held a retirement party June 15 to rec-ognize the longtime service of its prin-cipal and two of its teachers.

Keen principalRetiring principal

Marjatta Chapman says she will always remember her time working in the local school district.

“I’ve really enjoyed my more than 30 years of experience in education, and par-ticularly the 17 years I’ve spent in School District #27.”

After working in school district staff in the Lower Mainland for 17 years, Chapman came to the Cariboo-Chilcotin to become principal of Likely Elementary Junior Secondary School.

After four years there, she moved on to Lac la Hache Elementary School as principal for another eight years.

Chapman then joined 100 Mile House Elementary and spent four years there, from where she is now retiring.

“I’m off on new

adventures and I will think fondly of all of my years in educa-tion and have some wonderful memo-ries.”

First teacherDona Wright is

retiring from 20 years of teaching in the dis-trict, the last seven of them teaching kin-dergarten at 100 Mile Elementary.

“It has been a priv-ilege to have spent these past years in the teaching profes-sion and I wish all

my former students, colleagues and all school staff – it takes a village to raise a child – the very best in the years ahead.”

After com-pleting her studies in Va n c o u v e r and Victoria, she began her career at Lac la Hache Elementary.

From there, she taught for years at Mile 108 and Buffalo Creek elementary

schools before com-ing to 100 Mile.

Wright says she has always been “most passionate” about learn-ing, growing, s p e n d i n g time with the “kindies” and helping them t r a n s i t i o n from their home to the

classroom.“The thing I will

not miss is the ‘home-work.’ So much work is done after

the school day ends, and countless hours go into prepping, planning, reporting, advocating and meet-ings.”

From student to teacherAfter 28 years of

teaching, Colleen Moore is also retir-ing, and estimates this means more than 840 students were educated in her homeroom, grades 4 to 7 classes.

A 100 Mile Elementary stu-

dent herself back in 1966, she has spent her entire career as an educator at the school.

For many years, her classroom’s motto has been “do your best,” which she also applies to herself, especially when she shared her classroom in half-day shifts with a Horse Lake Elementary class.

She took a decade off full-time work to raise her own chil-dren, but also taught as a substitute.

“When I came back, computers had been in the schools [for years] and that was a really big learn-ing curve for me.”

Adjusting to con-ditions wasn’t new, however, as back in the days of her practi-cum, she taught on the third floor of the Stan Halcro Arena and in classrooms set up in the school gym.

“I am looking for-ward to doing my best in retirement. For me, that will be reinventing myself, perhaps in the area of tutoring.

“I know I sure won’t have lots of time to sit around ‘watching the grass grow’.”

School bids farewell to three educators

The second annual Communities in Bloom (CiB) event in 100 Mile House has taken root and appears to be thriving.

A week-long community clean-up, Clean is Green, held in April, and a huge plant sale held at the Stan Halcro Arena (Agriplex) in early June saw good participation and laid the groundwork for the remaining phases of this year’s effort. Last year, 100 Mile House scored three out five blooms in the British Columbia Communities in Bloom program, and Angela Cole, a key co-ordinator for the local CiB project, says this year’s goal is to improve on that when judges swing through the community on July 16-17 for evaluation.

T h e i r e v a l u a -tions will be made on the criteria of community involve-ment; tidiness effort; environmental action; heritage conservation; urban for-estry; landscaped areas, including turf and groundcovers; and

floral displays.Until that time, the local

100 Mile CiB Committee will be driving around town in the Community Cruiser, keeping a

lookout for businesses and private individuals who make an effort to

spruce up their surroundings. Improvements made will be evaluated, documented and then acknowledged at the CiB community barbecue on July 17.

Cole says people can ensure they will be included in the friendly competition

by filling out an entry form that can be picked up at either the

District of 100 Mile House office or the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce, in the advertisement

Clark says address-ing bullying in the province’s school sys-tem follows through on her post-election promise to make this a high priority of government.

“We all want our kids to be safe, espe-cially at school.”

School District superintendent Diane Wright says Clark’s philosophy has already been applied in local schools.

“The district and all our schools work to ensure every stu-dent is safe and has a sense of belonging. The ministry strategy formalizes the work already being done in the district.

“The announce-ment to provide training and online resources for staff is positive and we will work with the min-istry, schools and community partners to implement the 10-oint strategy.”

Clark’s new strate-gy includes a five-year training program to

help educators and others identify and address threats; online tools and resources; safe school co-ordina-tors; stronger codes of conduct for schools; guidelines and pro-

tocols; a provincial advisory committee; and other related tools and training.

Erb says she wants the provincial gov-ernment to apply its own advice to deal-

ing with teachers.“Given the gov-

ernment’s strategy is resolving the teacher dispute, we can only hope that this 10-point anti-bullying would also apply to us.”

Something new this year is the Green Team, which consists of clients of Cedar Crest Society who will weed gardens and tidy up a business or pri-vate property for a cash donation. They will come armed with bedding plants,

which are leftovers donated by the agriculture class at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School following its plant sale.

Another addi-tion this year is the Community Pride Project Competition for clubs, societies, businesses, indus-try and any groups that make a visual contribution or improvement for the better-ment of the community.

“If your group is doing something, we want to know

about it,” Cole says, adding the committee would like to see before-and-after photos and a written proj-ect description that will go into the offi-cial CiB community profile book and be reviewed by the judges.

The profile book can be viewed on the cham-ber website.

To improve the com-munity’s bloom rating this year, Cole says attention has to be focused on cleaning up vacant lots. She would like to hear from any group that has access to weed-whackers and is willing to volunteer some time. Their contribution would go into the Community Pride Project.

Cole notes 100 Mile House Elementary School has formed a weed-pulling group that will be cleaning up near its school.

A charity penny drive organized by Jamie Hughes of 108 Mile Ranch earlier this year will wind up at the annual Canada Day celebration at the 108 Heritage Site.

Folks can still donate their pennies on July 1 and she encourages everyone to dig out their one-cent coins and bring them along for a

good cause.Rolling the pennies

ahead of time isn’t necessary, as Hughes says this activity will take place by volun-teers that day. The votes are being tallied for the winning char-ity to benefit, which will be announced at the event.

The five charity choices are the SPCA/Mixed Up Mutts

(animal rescue), the 100 Mile & District Women’s Centre Society, KidSport, the 100 Mile & District General Hospital Auxiliary and the 100 Mile Water Park group.

Hughes organized the fundraiser when she heard pennies will be removed from circulation by govern-ment later this year.

The Ministry of Health is asking British Columbians to indicate how its planned new Seniors’ Advocate can best engage the prov-ince’s elder citizens to ensure that their voice is heard.

The ministry is col-lecting input about the role and function of the Seniors’ Advocate office to help prepare recommendations for government this fall.

Henry Hall, who just completed his four-year term as BC Old Age Pensioners O r g a n i z a t i o n (O.A.P.O.) regional director, says seniors should make their voices heard.

A public consulta-tion session will be held in Prince George on June 25 from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. For those who can’t make

it, or would like to review information in advance, a discussion paper is also avail-able.

The ministry invites people to con-sider the questions in the discussion paper, as an individ-ual, family, caregiver, organization or ser-vice provider, and send their ideas on shaping the future role of the seniors advocate. The paper presents back-ground information about advocacy and describes the poten-

tial principles, purpose and key functions for the Seniors’ Advocate.

A related summary presents the primary information in two pages, for those that may not have time to review the entire paper.

To avoid more bureaucracy, Hall says the new advocate should share resourc-es with the Office of the Ombudsperson.

“If they do put an advocate in, he or she should be able to make public state-ments without being censored one way or the other.”

He adds it might be “disheartening” for the advocate if the province doesn’t earmark dollars to implement many suggestions.

“I’m sure [govern-ment] knows what the problems are right now, but they’re all

claiming they haven’t got the money to do it.”

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says an advocate could offer services to help deal with important issues, such as elder abuse and neglect. She adds there are many seniors in her constituency who want to remain inde-pendent, and decline help when they really do need it.

“There are times when there are issues of abuse, and some-times it’s just, ‘Where do I go, who do I phone?’ We get that question all the time.”

Barnett suggests phone lines for report-ing abuse or neglect could be included as part of the Seniors’

Advocate office.She adds any-

one who can’t find the help they need through the contacts they have available can call her 100 Mile House office for assis-tance at 250-395-3916.

Comments on the potential role of the new advocate can be e-mailed to [email protected]; mailed to Seniors Action Plan, Ministry of Health, PO Box 9825, STN PROV GOV, Victoria, B.C., V8W 9W4; or letters can be dropped off at Barnett’s 100 Mile House office at 7-530 Horse Lake Rd.

The deadline for submissions is July 31. Recommendations will be released this fall.

He adds the insurance company is taking care of everything and the remainder of the tree was removed after the investigation June 25. The restoration company was over on June 26, and he expected repair work to begin on the eaves, down pipes, siding and skirting today (June 27).

Bill says about 100 people stopped by to check out the scene and 20-30 offered to help clean it up.

“It makes you feel good. If it wasn’t for the insurance, I think I would have taken some of them up on it.”

Red Bull, pillows and snacks were scat-tered throughout the House of Commons during the recent marathon debate on the federal budget bill.

Senate’s approval on the omnibus Bill C-38 is expected soon, after MPs sat in the House around the clock June 14-15, debating the bill that eventually passed as expected.

K a m l o o p s -Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod was on house duty that day, so her time in the chamber was several hours longer than the 22-24 hours for most members, but she says they all were doing what they could to cope.

“I tried the Red Bull drink.... And, certainly you got to know your seat-mates.”

Conservative MPs were able to leave the House every five hours for a brief break and a chance to stretch their legs.

“That was a very looked-forward to

half hour.... You watched for your [break time] certainly with eagerness.”

Hundreds of a m e n d m e n t s were grouped together in simi-lar categories that saw MPs vote 158 times.

She notes the many a m e n d m e n t s weren’t untow-ard because it is simply part of Parliamentary democracy.

“The Opposition’s job is to oppose, and

they have different opportunities to [do that]. It was a critical budget, and obvi-

ously the O p p o s i t i o n wanted to see a few changes that we didn’t agree with.”

O n c e a p p r o v e d by Senate, Bill C-38 will enact hundreds of

changes, including raising the eligibil-ity age for Old Age Security, reform the employment insur-

ance system, overhaul Canada’s environ-mental protection and fisheries laws and accelerate approvals for natural resource development.

In 100 Mile House, folks protesting the omnibus bill recently held a second rally outside McLeod’s constituency office to demonstrate their own concerns.

Christine Jordaan, Patricia Spencer and Ann Swann were among the 20 protest-ers, and expressed disappointment the

bill was moved for-ward to the Senate.

Jordaan says Bill C-38 is “huge” in terms of the sweep-ing changes it implements.

“The [Stephen] Harper government is charting a course of economic devel-opment at all costs, without listening to Canadians, without consideration for the long-term health of our country, and in so doing is losing respect internationally.”

MPs pass omnibus bill after debateBill C-38 leaves local demonstrators disappointed

Twenty area protesters recently gathered in front of Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod’s 100 Mile House office, requesting her to vote against C-38. It was their second rally in the past few weeks.

The Special Committee on Timber Supply will be hold-ing a public hearing in conference room 224 at the South Cariboo Business Centre, 100-475 Birch Ave. in 100 Mile House on July 5 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The intent of the meeting is to seek public input on the future of forestry in British Columbia.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations has out-lined certain actions that might lessen the impacts of the moun-tain pine beetle on the timber supply; many of these could

require rebalancing important environ-mental, social and economic consid-erations. Potential actions include:

• Harvesting some of the areas currently constrained from tim-ber harvest in order to support other resource values.

• Increasing the harvest of marginally economic timber.

• Changing the flow of timber by adjusting adminis-trative boundaries or accelerating timber availability.

• Shifting to more area-based ten-ures and associated more intensive forest

management.• Increasing the

level of intensive forest management through fertilization and other advanced silviculture activities.

The committee is seeking public input on the following questions:

• What values and principles should guide the evaluation and decision-making regarding potential actions to mitigate the timber supply impacts?

• How should decisions regarding potential actions to mitigate the timber supply impacts be made and, by whom?

• What specific information about your local area would you like the Committee to know and consider?

• What cautions and advice do you have for this com-mittee in considering whether and how to mitigate mid-term timber supply?

• How would you, as an individual or a community, want to be engaged in these considerations going forward?

Additional infor-mation and how to make submissions can be obtained from the Committee’s web-site www.leg.bc.ca/timbercommittee/

written-submission.asp. Folks who want to make a presentation can call committee staff at 1-877-428-8337 or e-mail timbercom [email protected].

Swann says the elements “enshrined” in the provisions of the bill will strip the various measures that safeguard and protect “our home and native land.”

“I am heartsick and ashamed about Canada’s apparent lack of care for the environment.

“I love my country and ... it is a misery to contemplate what this bill appears to be designed to accom-plish: ‘all holds

barred — let’s sell our resources and run’.”

Says Spencer: “It is indeed a sad day for Canada. It will leave the Canadian public with a legacy of envi-ronmental pollution and costly cleanup costs.

“The undemocratic way in which this bill was pushed through

Parliament is “even worse.”

She adds the bill will benefit corpora-tions, not Canadians.

M e a n w h i l e , McLeod says she encourages constitu-ents to express their opinions, but notes she has heard the Opposition cry for environmental policy

changes a number of times during her years as a municipal coun-cillor and in Ottawa.

She adds the pro-vincial governments also see the “unneces-sary duplication and the onerous time-lines” and have expressed “very sig-nificant support” of the changes effected by the Tory’s.

More information on the budget bill is available online at www.parl.gc.ca under LEGISinfo links.

There is an extremely important meeting in 100 Mile House on July 5.

People who think they might be affected by the future of the forestry industry in the Interior of British Columbia – all of us – should probably attend this meeting.

If we cannot go to the meeting, we should try to give input to the Special Committee on Timber Supply, which will be here July 5, and will be col-lecting information and input up to and including July 20.

We should read the story on page A7 of this edition and then take the time to hop on to the government website to learn what the B.C. Liberal government is dealing with and suggesting as pos-sible solutions to the pine-beetle devastation.

It would also be a good idea to Google mid-term timber supply and see what other folks are saying about the timber-supply issue and con-sider the options they are suggesting.

We definitely need to be informed about the issue, regardless of which side of the harvest-now or save-for-tomorrow equation we stand on.

We have already seen the kind of damage the voracious pine beetle can do. Now, the govern-ment is considering whether it should throw the doors open the equally voracious harvesting/milling companies.

The mantra for both the government and the big industry is, “Jobs, jobs, jobs.”

Please take a close look at the Page 7 story and look at the government’s wording carefully.

Right off the get-go, it outlines actions that might lessen the impact of the pine beetle on the timber supply, but it would require “rebalancing” of current environmental, social and economic considerations.

Translation: we need to keep the Big Business forestry going by opening up previously pro-tected areas so we can keep the mills open and maintain the jobs. It’s obvious we have to keep the forest industry going so the mills will con-tinue to operate, but we will have to change the way we harvest and mill the timber that is left if our Crown forests are going to survive.

We have to be careful we don’t throw the baby out with the bath water for the sake of multina-tional forest companies.

We have to become informed and we have to make our voices heard.

We cannot allow ourselves to be steamrolled by the big boys on the cut block.

Editorial

There’s been another pipeline leak in Alberta and some 230,000 litres of black gold has spilled all over farmland near Elk Point, northeast of Edmonton.

It’s the third dystopic gusher in a month. Crews are still working to clean up an 800,000 litre spill from a well owned by Pace Oil & Gas Ltd close to the Northwest Territories border, and a spill into the Red River of up to 480,000 litres from a Plains Midstream Canada pipeline.

Enbridge owns the pipeline implicated in the most recent spill. That company is currently running community hearings in anticipation of building the Northern Gateway Pipeline from Bruderheim, Alta. to Kitimat, B.C. The new pipeline is set to traverse rugged mountains, pristine wilderness and areas of high geotechnical risk, including avalanches, slides and seismic activ-ity.

The bitumin will then be loaded onto supertankers bound for Asia that have no hope of safely navi-gating the notoriously treacherous waters of the Inside Passage.

In April, BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix said: “Under the Enbridge proposal, British Columbia would assume almost all the project’s risk, yet would see only a fraction of the benefits. By any measure, such

a high-risk, low-return approach simply isn’t in B.C.’s interests.”

In May, Premier Christy Clark described the Northern Gateway project as “a balance of risk and benefit.” As for benefits, she admit-ted the project would create almost no jobs in B.C. “It creates some jobs in the construction phase but there are very few long-term jobs that would be left in the province after that.”

Like Dix, she concluded it’s a high-risk, low-return game. “B.C. is taking 100 per cent of the risk. But at the moment, B.C. gets about the same benefit as Nova Scotia.”

Clark might foresee the risk-benefit ratio would improve if Alberta offers B.C. access fees or a share of royalties. But that would still be a no-win proposition when one calculates the pro-found costs of the inevitable spills and the loss of the coastline, the fisheries, and the ancestral grounds of First Nations livelihoods and cultures at any point along the pipeline’s path.

Last week, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives released

a report, A Green Industrial Revolution, showing carbon-intensive industrial policies can be overcome and a transition made to a sustainable economy and a zero carbon Canada.

It’s scarcely the first report of its kind. Worldwide, roadmaps for how to get from here to there are as plentiful as blackberries.

There’s no reason for Canadians to be browbeaten into embracing fossil-fuel development as an eco-nomic imperative and oil spills as the status quo by politicians who are acting on behalf of their cor-porate sponsors, the oil and gas industry, rather than their constitu-ents.

Canadians should instead demand a moratorium on new fossil-fuel developments and expan-sion of the tar sands, and force the federal and provincial governments to finally engage with the coming revolution. “The good news,” says report author Marc Lee, “is that Canada can derive substantial eco-nomic advantages … by embracing climate action.”

Dianne Varga has founded advo-cacy organizations Canadians for Cooperation and the Commotion Collective, and helps organize for others, including the Kelowna Peace Group, LeadNow, 350.org and Casseroles Night in Canada.

To the editor:Peter Hart’s Canim

Lake column contained a story about a wood duck being trapped in my chimney because it mistook the chimney for a nesting place.

I could not get the duck out myself, so it spent at least 12 hours trapped before it was rescued. After making some calls, I hit on the idea that I could call the chimney sweep who cleans and inspects my flue each year - Brian Tennet (BJs Chimney Sweep and Brian’s House of Birds) for help.

Brian told me what had to be done and added he would not be able to come out himself because he

was repairing his truck. I made a couple of calls and no one was home, so I was still in a quandary about how to rescue the duck.

Then Brian called back to tell me a neighbour was going to drive him from Bridge Lake and he would be there in an hour. They arrived around 2 p.m. and within moments he had the insert out and released the duck, which promptly flew into the lake, had a bath and dis-appeared.

Brian and his friend refused any payment for their time, so I paid them for the gas consumed and gave them my heartfelt thanks for their kindness. Through this letter, I hope

to be able to thank them again on behalf of the duck and myself.

Apparently this hap-pens frequently. The only way to prevent it

is to place a cap on the chimney, which I have arranged for.

Letters to the editor Poverty declines, nobody noticesVICTORIA – You probably

didn’t hear this on TV, the per-centage of Canadians deemed “low income” went down slightly in 2010, according to the latest Statistics Canada analysis.

This news was delivered in the annual “Income of Canadians” report last week. The share of people who fall below the federal Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO) went from 9.5 per cent to 9.0.

The CBC couldn’t bring itself to admit any actual improvement, reporting on its website the num-ber of people with “low income” was about three million, “virtu-ally unchanged from 2009.” Other media outlets followed the unwrit-ten rule that nothing remotely positive must be presented as news, particularly if it reflects positively on a right-wing government. (Plus they had the Montreal body-parts case to update each day.)

This information likely won’t have any effect on the political dis-cussion about “poverty” in British Columbia. The LICO survey will continue to be used as a measure of absolute poverty, despite the fact it isn’t. It’s a relative measure that will always designate the same share of people at the low end of the scale.

BC Stats, the provincial equiva-lent of the federal agency, explained this problem in a special report last year.

“To illustrate,” the report stated, “take a hypothetical future Canada where every citizen earns no less than $100,000 (and assume there has not been rampant inflation in the meantime, such that buying power is not dissimilar to what

exists today) and millionaires are common.

“In that kind of Canada, those at the low end of the income scale (that is, those earning ‘merely’ $100,000) would be considered poor if LICOs were used as a mea-sure of poverty.”

Math aside, that’s the alleged “poverty line” routinely cited by the usual media authorities, such as B.C. Federation of Labour presi-dent Jim Sinclair.

Sinclair campaigned for years to get the B.C. government to raise the minimum wage from $8 to $10 an hour. It did, in three increments, and on May 1, it increased to $10.25 an hour. As soon as the series of three increases was announced last November, Sinclair called a news conference to announce it’s not enough.

To get to the LICO level, the minimum wage should be $11.50 an hour, Sinclair said. Of course, if B.C. businesses ponied up for that, the goalposts would shift again and

the same proportion of “poverty” would magically still exist.

The B.C. NDP government-in-waiting continues to demand an “action plan” on poverty, with annual goals. All the progressive provinces have one, which I guess is why poverty is all but eradi-cated in enlightened places, such as Manitoba.

There are signs of the reality behind this political smokescreen. Here’s one.

For what may be the first time in history, we now have a North American society where one of the most reliable indicators of poverty is obesity. This often gets explained away with a popular theory that poor people are somehow forced to eat fast food and drink pop because they can’t afford healthy food.

People who advance this theory presumably don’t do much grocery shopping. There are plenty of processed, sugary, fat-laden choic-es at the supermarket, too. But there is also whole wheat bread, rice and fresh or frozen vegetables that are as cheap as anywhere in the world.

Given basic cooking skills and some effort, it’s easy to demonstrate which diet is cheaper, as well as healthier. Most immigrants know this. Which diet you choose isn’t a function of money, but rather one of education and self-discipline.

There is genuine poverty in our society. One of the things that’s needed is a useful way to define it.

Please use your “wild-est” grotesque imagination and that is what we all face some mornings.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon may disdainfully dismiss his newly rein-troduced Provincial Sales Tax (PST) as a “better-stupid” tax, but British Columbians haven’t for-gotten who caused this long drawn-out shemo-zzle in the first place.

Someone should remind Falcon and the rest of his arrogant B.C.

Liberals the function of government is to enact legislation the majority of the citizens willingly support.

Forrest Gump said, “Stupid is as stupid does.”

Maybe you should think about that Mr. Falcon before you put your “stupid” foot in your mouth again.

Lloyd AtkinsVernon

To the editor:Recent warnings of

flood and high water lev-els in British Columbia are strong testimony to this year’s rainy spring and higher than normal B.C. snowpack.

They also mean the province’s many hydro-electric dams will not be short of water this year like they have been for most of the past decade.

As crazy as it sounds, for most of the past decade, B.C. has had to import power from out-side the province to meet its energy needs. Much of that imported power has not been clean hydroelec-tric power, as it has been coal-fired.

We have an incredible amount of green, renew-able energy in this province that we could be devel-oping to meet our energy needs. We should not need to import power in B.C. even in a low-water year.

Considering this year’s higher than normal water flow is clearly the excep-tion rather than the rule, we should not allow it to lull us into complacency.

We need to get on with developing our renew-able energy resources and we need to do it aggres-sively, so we are ready for whatever the future holds for our province.

To the editor:Canada has been a leading country over the years

in the fight for global immunization by funding basic programs, such as the Canadian International Immunization Initiative (CIII).

Not renewing this successful program in 2013 would represent a huge number of deaths among the poorest of the world.

[Prime Minister Stephen] Harper’s Conservatives should stop cutting foreign aid to the poorest and must absolutely renew the CIII. They should start car-ing for the poorest, just like most Canadians do.

Looking at most of the evidence, coffee is good for us. One study looked at 480,000 people in to determine if coffee had any effect on the risk of stroke. Compared to non-coffee drinkers there was an 8% reduction in stroke in those who drank one cup a day and a 13% reduction in those who drank 2-6 cups daily.

The research on coffee didn’t differentiate between caffeine-containing coffee and the decaffeinated version. Decaf-coffee used to get a bad reputation because of solvents used to extract the caffeine. Nowadays, the caffeine is removed using a Swiss water process or carbon dioxide extraction. These methods are harmless.

People who are confi ned to bed or wheelchairs can develop pressure sores than can be very dangerous and hard to treat. A Canadian university has developed an undergarment to help prevent these ulcers. The garment uses electrical stimulation to keep the blood fl owing in the ulcer-prone areas of the hips and rear end. It should become available to the public in the near future.

Back in 400 B.C., Hippocrates was relieving labour pain by giving a tea steeped from willow leaves. In the late 18th century, the bark of the willow tree was ground up and given for various aches and pains. Today’s version is synthesized acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) known more commonly as Aspirin®.

Around the provinceThree arrested after robbery

PRINCE GEORGE - Three people are fac-ing robbery charges after being arrested early Sunday (June 17) morning.

Police responded to a call at about 3:30 a.m. of a robbery at a convenience in the 1500-block of 20th Avenue.

When police arrived they were told that a woman, wearing dark clothing and with a bandana covering her face entered the store with a can of bear spray and an uncapped syringe. She demanded cartons of cigarettes and money.

A detailed description of the suspect was obtained through the store’s video surveil-lance. The description of the woman and the vehicle she fled in, was passed on to all other police officers. Within minutes, the suspect vehicle was located near the intersection of 17th Avenue and Oak Street. Three occupants were in the vehicle, two men, aged 48 and 25, and a woman, aged 48. All three were arrested without incident.

Man with gun tries to rob womanMERRITT - Two men have been charged

with robbery after a Merritt woman was approached by a man with a gun while in her car outside the Royal Bank on June 13.

The 35-year-old woman left the bank at around 9 p.m. last Wednesday and returned to her van where six children ranging in age from one to 13 were already seated. When she was ready to drive off, a young man approached the driver’s window, pulled out a gun and told her to give him all of her money.

“The fast thinking female drove off for-tunately without incident and [drove] to the police station to report the robbery,” says a Merritt RCMP press release.

With the help of the victim, RCMP located the suspect — 23-year-old Kamloops resident Gary Deschamps —and arrested him without incident for robbery.

K a m l o o p s -Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod says British Columbia would benefit from a potential trade agreement with the European Union (EU).

An ambitious trade agreement with the EU would be of significant benefit to Canada, resulting in a 20 per cent boost in bilateral trade and a $12 bil-lion increase in Canada’s annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP), McLeod claims.

“That translates to an increase of $1,000 to the average Canadian family’s income, or 80,000 new Canadian jobs.”

McLeod says she believes many of B.C.’s key sectors would benefit from this trade agreement.

Forestry sector• Between 2009

and 2011, B.C. exported an annual average of $326-mil-lion worth of wood and wood products to the EU.

• B.C.’s wood exports faced aver-age tariffs of 2.2 per cent, with peaks of 10 per cent. These tariff barriers would be eliminated under the Canada-EU trade agreement.

• Eliminating tar-iff barriers would increase sales of B.C.’s world-class wood and wood products in the lucra-

tive EU market of 500 million consumers.

Agriculture• Between 2009

and 2011, B.C. export-ed an annual average of $35-million worth of agricultural prod-ucts to the EU.

• Tariffs on key British Columbian exports to the EU, such as fruits, vegetables and hor-ticultural products, would be eliminat-ed under this trade agreement.

Investment• Direct invest-

ment by Canadian companies in the EU totalled almost $173 billion in 2011, representing more than 25 per cent of Canadian direct investment abroad. The same year, direct investment by

European companies in Canada totalled almost $161 billion, representing over 26 per cent of total for-eign investment in Canada.

• B.C. businesses currently have sig-nificant investments in the EU in a wide variety of sectors, including mining, financial services, professional services, renewable energy, environmental tech-nology, transportation, information and communication tech-nology.

• Putting predict-able investment rules in place and guaran-teeing access to EU markets will help to create a level play-ing field for B.C.’s investors and busi-nesses and reduce the risks associated with investing abroad.

Despite zero sup-port from Mother Nature for the Hit a Ball for Health! Fun Golf Tournament, people who par-ticipated and raised money for the South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF), couldn’t be discour-aged. Neither could the host 108 Resort Golf Club.

The event was slat-ed for midday June 16, but at the 2 p.m. tee-off time, weath-er conditions were anything but favour-able, says M-J Cousins, SCHF of public relations and fundraising co-ordi-nator.

“There was a deluge of rain with thunder and lightning and the conditions were such that we just could not golf.”

The 51 registrants had paid $85 per cou-ple or $55 per person

to participate, with the money earmarked for the SCHF.

Noting so much good, hard work and kindness from the community had been put forward, 108 Resort golf pro Andy Wahnschaff says he couldn’t bear to see it go to waste.

People had come to golf in order to raise money for the SCHF, so at that point, he offered to give every-one a voucher for nine holes of golf, good until the end of the current season, and also gave a rain check for golf cart rentals that had been booked and paid for,

so the registration fees could go to the intended destination.

People were happy with the alternate plan and they carried on indoors where charity and good will continued to be extended. Marvin Declare, Psalm 23 Transition Society

p re s i d e n t / e x e c u -tive director, had his name drawn as win-ner of the grand-prize barbecue, valued at $500, but immedi-ately donated it back and challenged any-one to buy it for $500 and have the money go to SCHF. Phil Roux came forward and it was a done deal.

Declare says he understands what fundraising is all about because Psalm 23 is a charitable organization.

“It was just a blessing for us to be a part of it. The true gift was the person who stepped up and bought it.”

All of the other prizes were drawn for and given away as door prizes to the participants, Cousins says, adding it was a wonderful day.

“I couldn’t believe

how supportive the resort was and how understanding the golfers were. The weather was unfortu-nate, but at the same

time, the spirit of the people of the area shone through.”

The event raised slightly more than $2,000 for the SCHF.

Golfers’ spirits shine on rainy day

Psalm 23 Transition Society representatives Shelley Declare, left, Don Tessman, Josh Wardle and Marvin Declare posed with the barbecue they won in the raffle at the South Cariboo Health Foundation golf tournament. They promptly donated it back to the SCHF and Phil Roux purchased it for $500.


I couldn’t believe how sup-portive the resort was and how understanding the golfers were.”

Psalm 23 Transition Society, which runs the 59 Mile Training Centre, recently took over the bottle-recycling program from the Knights of Columbus.

Psalm 23 president and executive direc-tor Marvin Declare says he was grate-ful to the Knights for acknowledging Psalm 23 was a viable organization.

“We see this as a very important part of our community. When we heard about the opportunity to take on this project, it’s a fit with how we want to give back to the community.

“There is quite a unique history to the program and we want to continue with the same honour and integrity the Knights did in the past.”

Knight Omer Lapointe was a great help training and showing us the rou-tines they have used, Declare notes.

Psalm 23 will be giving 10 per cent of what it collects in the various communities back to assist their “average” students, who just need a little extra help in their future education.

“We want to help people get a step up in life. Kids are very

important to us, and if we can change one child’s life and give them hope, that is our goal, Declare says, adding the funding will go back to the communities that provide the recycla-bles.

The leadership care team members will be doing the bottle and can sorting, and he notes they are open to help from anyone in the community who is willing to volunteer some of their time.

There will be some costs involved in doing needed repairs

to the bins and a facelift with yellow paint.

Since taking over, Declare says they are finding other household recy-cling and garbage being dumped into

the bins.“We are only look-

ing for recycling that can be returned for cash. Beverage bottles and cans, any-thing you have paid a deposit on will be accepted.”

Anyone wishing more information on where the bins can be located or would like to volunteer is asked to contact Declare at 250-459-2220, cell at 604-835-0855, or e-mail at [email protected].

District

Several area resi-dents turned out for the Green Lake and Area Official Community Plan (GLAOCP) meet-

ing at the Seventy Mile Access Centre (SMAC) on June 9.

The panel members were Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) chair Randy Murray, TNRD Area E Director Sally Watson, Clinton Mayor Jim Rivett, Cariboo Regional District (CRD) chair Al Richmond, and CRD Area L Director Bruce Rattray. Green Lake Area Ratepayers Association (GLARA)

also attended the meeting, as did the CRD planning ser-vice manager Rick Brundrige and the TNRD’s develop-ment services director Regina Sadilkova and planner Dan Wallace.

The main pur-pose of the meeting was to amend the GLAOCP to include First Nations consul-tation in the approval process.

“Whippledon” has been revived at the 108.

After a few years absence, Shirley Carter says this Cariboo ver-sion of Wimbledon will once again be held July 1 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This event will take place at the 108 Resort ten-nis courts, across from the mailboxes.

New players and former players are especially welcome, she says.

“This is a time to see what the 108 Tennis Club is all about, and why peo-

ple get hooked on this game.”

Names will be drawn for partners, and a set will last a maximum of 30 minutes, so par-ticipants will get to play with a variety of people.

There is no charge, but folks must reg-ister by June 28, by phoning Carter at 250-791-6220.

Traditional straw-berries and whipped

cream are provided afterwards by the 108 Resort Golf & Outdoor Adventures.

Carter notes Canada has some incredible tennis players on the inter-national stage. Milos Raonic, 21, from Ontario is ranked 21st in the world and came close to beating the world’s number 2 men’s player Roger Federer on June 15 in Germany. Raonic will

represent Canada at the London 2012 Summer Olympics.

Toronto’s Daniel Nestor is ranked as the world’s number 1 in men’s doubles. Vasek Pospisil from Vernon will be Nestor’s part-ner at the Summer Olympics in July.

Tennis tourney planned

108 RANCHREG BERRINGTON

[email protected]

These avid 108 Mile Ranch tennis players cannot wait to play in the revived “Whippleton” tourney on Canada Day. New and former tennis players are urged to participate for not only the love of the game, but also for the strawberries and whipped cream.

Plan to be at the Fourth Annual Canada Day Picnic at Ruth Lake Park on July 1.

Everyone from near and far is wel-come to attend this most enjoyable after-noon of visiting, swimming, playing and, of course, eating. Potluck lunch is at 1 p.m. and barbecues will be available.

A special guest will be Laura Kelsey, who will lead us in our traditional rendi-tion of “O Canada,” sung out over the lake toward the hills beyond.

Several versions of a tug of war will follow. Bring lawn chairs, beach toys, perhaps a blanket to snooze on.

Art displayLibrarian Connie

Flannery is invit-ing artists of all ages to bring a sample of their work to the library to be put on display though the summer months.

If you have a draw-ing or painting you’ve

done, a carving or piece of sculpture, please bring it to the library on Tuesdays from 3 to 8 p.m. or Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Summer is prime reading time, with a special book set aside to enjoy when the garden is finally planted or you have time to go camping.

Connie reminds everyone that best-sellers are either in stock or can be ordered from the vast resources of the Cariboo Library Network.

Specia l - interest books or that old book about the Gold Rush you’d like to re-

read but may be out of print can usually be found online and ordered. Connie will also show you how to order books at any time from home.

There are two new computers at the library and high-speed wireless access for laptops.

Excellent movies are also available. A special feature of the library is the large selection of children’s books and juvenile fiction.

Rowing legacyCongratulations

to Forest Grove row-ers and sisters Jemma and Tyra Van Osch who are members of

the South Cariboo Rowing Club.

In May, 300 high school rowers com-peted in the 2012 Scholastic Rowing Regatta in Delta. Jemma and partner Jill Matlock placed sixth in the junior doubles finals. Jemma and Tyra rowed in the women’s quad event, finishing in fifth place.

The girls are car-rying on a family tradition of rowing. Their father, Will Van Osch, and many of his cousins were competitive rowers, competing in major high school rowing events.

The sisters are also

carrying on the lega-cy of a Forest Grove girl, Theresa Luke, who rowed to a sil-ver medal in the 1996 Summer Olympics, gold at the Pan Am Games and gold and bronze at the World Championships.

Theresa lived at Ruth Lake and attend-ed the Forest Grove Elementary School. As a child, she loved water sports, encour-aged by her parents who were avid swim-mers. She did not become involved in rowing until she joined the row-ing program at the University of Victoria and later at Simon Fraser University. A large sign at the Forest Grove Store celebrates her accom-plishments.

A graduationThe Grade 7 stu-

dents from our school will be moving on to 100 Mile House Junior Secondary in the fall and our best wishes for every-thing good go with them.

Today (June 27), Maggie Cummings, Cassidy Donnelly, Davin Grouhel, Gwen Haretzmuller, Haylie Jones, Danny Loeffeler, Tasha McKay, Kira Saenger and Trinity Searle were presented with certificates of achievement.

The second sea-son is underway for the 100 Mile Men’s Fastball League.

The playoffs start-ed June 25 with the Sanford and Dillman Hornets knocking off Jake’s Pub Old Buds 4-2 in the first elimi-nation game, and the Shuswap Defenders shutting out the Lac la Hache Food Mart 8-0 in the second loser-goes-home contest.

Sanford and Shuswap will square off on June 27 to see who advances to take on the loser of the Red Rock Grill and Exeter Sporting Goods con-test on June 26 (score unavailable).

Sanford advancesThis first elimina-

tion games were tight with both teams play-ing some great ball and the chuckers dominating for the most part.

Greg Parent was on the mound for Jake’s and he regis-tered four strikeouts in the loss. Sanford pitcher Reg Hooper was in playoff form as he sent 11 Jake’s batters back to their dugout shaking their heads.

Jake’s got a run in the first inning when Mark Dufour hit a single and scored on an RBI single by Jason Armeneau.

Rick Dillman responded with a single in the bottom half of the inning and trotted home on a deep sacrifice fly by Bill Esterbrook.

Sanford went up 2-1 when Dennis Gosselin’s triple pushed Bob Collens over the plate in the third.

It stayed 2-1 until the top of the fifth when Parent hit a single to get on and then scored on a

fielder’s choice.That set up the

sixth-inning heroics as Esterbrook who hit the eventual game-winning home run. Rob Sanford sin-gled Brayden Sanford in for the insurance run.

Jake’s failed to move any runners over the plate in the top of the seventh, and Sanford celebrat-ed the victory.

Shuswap moves onShuswap was lead-

ing the Bantams 8-0 when the game was called due to inclem-ent weather and lightning.

However, Red Rock scored two in the top of the seventh and held on for the win.

Grillers roll alongRed Rock finished

their regular season with an 8-2 win over the Bantams who got their runs in the sev-enth inning.

The Special Olympics Region 8 Golf Qualifier for the 2013 Special Olympic Summer Games were held at Marmot Ridge Golf Course on June 16, with athletes from 100 Mile House and Prince George participating.

The 20 golfers, with 11 from 100 Mile and nine from Prince George, were vying for spots on the regional team that will compete next sum-mer in Langley.

Const. Jason Flett and Const. Matthew Ziemer of the 100 Mile House Detachment RCMP added excitement to the event by attending the first tee-off and Cariboo Regional Director Area L Bruce Rattray walked part of the course with participants.

100 Mile golfers had some

good results, with David Shacklock, Brett Tassell, Aaron Goodwill and Paul Jansen placing first in their divisions.

Second-place winners were Krista Connell and Andy Bremner and placing third were Ryan Barker, Travis Phelps and Tricia Beauvais. Ben Johnson placed fourth in his division.

Participants were grouped into five teams and played nine holes. Results for who will compete at Summer Games won’t be known for several months, says Denise Barker, 100 Mile Special Olympics chapter co-ordina-tor.

She adds it was a huge deal for the athletes to participate in the tournament.

“There were high-fives and hugs with the other athletes. It was awesome.”

Rain threatened to put a damper on a gymkhana hosted by the 100 Mile & District Outriders Club on June 17.

While a 30-min-ute cloudburst sent the 25 riders running for cover, most of the day was business as usual.

Jennifer Szigety, who co-ordinates the four-event series, says poor weather in the morning was probably the rea-son for the smaller than usual turnout, but besides the one

downpour midday, they had sunshine for much of the day.

Participants of all ages had a good time competing in races, such as pole bending, stake race, barrels, keyhole, speed bar-rels and baton relay.

Winners were rewarded with rib-bons and prize money and points were added up to determine overall day winners who received merchandise prizes.

In the Peewee division, Kassidy Kolisnyk of 70 Mile House was the top rider after claiming firsts in pole bending,

stake race, keyhole and speed barrels. Avery McBride of 100 Mile House was sec-ond in the division.

Amy Hume of Williams Lake won the Junior division with five first-place finishes and Brianna Billy of Williams Lake was second.

Lone Butte com-petitor Raven Gentry was the winner of

the Intermediate cat-egory, with first place finishes in keyhole and speed barrels, seconds in poles and barrels and third in stake. Her baton relay team of Lorne Gentry and Karli-Rae Ross took third.

Taylor Stewart of 100 Mile House was second overall in the

Joggers hit the pavement on June 23 in Williams Lake to run in the KidSport Classic Relay, Walk and Half Marathon.

It was held in

Boitanio Park with 217 entrants, includ-ing a few from the South Cariboo.

Brandon Balbirnie placed first in the Men’s 18 and Under

division and first over all in the 10-kilome-tre race with a time of 45.55 minutes. Victoria Boffa was second with 65.4 in the Women’s 18 and

Under 10-km. Both are Grade 7 students at 100 Mile House Elementary School.

Wade Balbirnie, Brandon’s dad, fin-ished third in the Men’s 19-39 Half Marathon with a time of 88.1.

Team “My Mama Made Me Run” with the Bedford fam-ily, including siblings Ben, Linnaea, Levi and Noah crossed the finish line first in the Family Relay event.

The Collinson family, with dad, Ian, mom, Tanya and children Avery and Reid placed second in that race as “Team Collinson.”

The event was for-merly called the Dave Jacobs Classic Relay,

and this year, the name was changed, and money raised was donated to the Williams Lake chap-ter of KidSport.

Rodeo history will continue to be made on the Canada Day long weekend when the Bridge Lake Community Club hosts its 63rd annual Bridge Lake Stampede.

The down-home amateur rodeo takes place on June 30, with all of the thrilling events it has become known for, saddle bronc, bareback bronc and bull riding.

The action takes place at the Bridge Lake rodeo grounds and the day opens with a pancake break-fast at 8 a.m. Slack events begin at 9 a.m. and noon is when the grand entry takes place and the main show starts.

It’s an amateur rodeo, so expect to see a few friends and neighbours in the arena along with some top-notch talent.

Bridge Lake

C o m m u n i t y Association president Jaime Law says the event is a good place for novices to get started in rodeo. “We get lots of children starting here.”

WWE Rodeo and Bill Cunningham are the stock con-tractors, and Terry Denault returns as the announcer.

The concession stand will be in full swing, pumping out burgers and hotdogs

and the refreshment garden opens at 10 a.m. and will be open a little longer than usual this year. It will give people more time to socialize, as rodeo committee member David Cunningham notes that for the first time in many years, there will not be a rodeo dance.

“We would rather have a dance, but with

such a lack of sup-port, we don’t have the people to do it.”

He says the pool of volunteers has shrunk over the years, mak-ing it impossible to organize a dance.

The admission fee to the rodeo is $10 for adults; $5 for seniors and children 12 years and under; and chil-dren five and under get in free.


Soccer play-ers from the South Cariboo were mem-bers of the Williams Lake Storm U13 Boys team that won the U14 Boys division at the Cariboo Youth Soccer League finals.

The championship games were held June 17 in 100 Mile House.

Mid-fielder Reid Davidson, forward Masen Fernandes, and goalkeeper Kean Kellermeier helped the team to the victory after playing with the Storm all season. The absence of a U13 Boys rep soccer team in 100

Mile this year had forced the boys to go north if they wanted to play at that level.

The season will continue for the Williams Lake squad when it competes in Aldergrove as team Cariboo North at the 2012 BC Soccer Boys B Cup Provincial Championships, July 5-8.

The tournament will include teams from six regions and approximately 860 players.

Fifty-seven golfers enjoyed the summer’s first official men’s night (following numer-ous spring showers) at the 108 Resort Golf Course.

Shane Wilkie led the way with a one under 34, but even

he could not match the prodi-gious drive of Jeff Kendy on hole number16.

Four golfers shot 38 and one was 39 in the first flight. Robbie Douglas also shot a 39 to lead the second flight.

Dave Jollymour and Andy Wahnschaff shot the only deuc-

es. Thanks to Vern Peever who provided many of the night’s prizes.

First flight Wilkie took the low-gross,

while Eric Ohlund won the low net in a count back with Matt McNeil, Karam Parsad

and Kendy. Second flight Douglas won the low-gross

honours, while Rick Lunsted carded the low-net score.

Third flight Larry Mckave took the low

gross and Gord Spare had the low net.

Match play started with Jay Scott and Eric Ohlund as the first winners.

There are 32 golfers in the ladder and the first rounders need to complete their match by today (June 27).

Good numbers come out for 108 Men’s Night

Q: What are the most common asked questions with the new government-backed insured mortgages that take effect July 9th?

A: • Why is the government lowering the limit on refi nancing again? - The new measure will reduce the maximum amount on refi nancing to 80% from 85% of the value of the home. This will promote saving through home ownership and limit the shifting of consumer debt into mortgages guaranteed by taxpayers. • Why is the Government lowering the maximum amortization period again? - The new measure will reduce the maximum amortization period to 25 years. This will reduce the total interest payments Canadian families make on their mortgages, helping them build up equity in their homes more quickly and pay off their mortgages sooner. • Why is the Government limiting the maximum gross debt service (GDS) and total debt service (TDS) ratios? - The GDS ratio is the share of the borrower’s gross household income that is needed to pay for home-related expenses. The TDS ratio is the GDS ratio and all other consumer debts. This will help Canadian households from getting overextended. • Why is the Government introducing a maximum allowable price for insured mortgages? - It will establish that purchases at or above $1 million would not be eligible for government-backed high ratio insurance, they would require a down payment of at least 20%. This will ensure that government-backed mortgage insurance operates the way it was intended: to help working families and fi rst-time homebuyers. 5% down is still the required downpayment on primary residence purchases under $1 million.

Q: Should I have my furnace serviced?

A: Your furnace, like any machine, needs regular maintenance to perform optimally. During operation, a furnace collects dust and debris from the air. This material infi ltrates and settles on the internal components of the unit, reducing its effi ciency. Not only does this cost you money on your gas and/or electric bill, it also reduces the life of your furnace components by causing them to wear and work harder. Regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs. Some of this maintenance you can do yourself, like changing your fi lter regularly (usually every three months); other work, like an annual inspection and cleaning, should be done by a qualifi ed professional.

Q: I got a ticket for driving while talking on my cell phone the other day. What are my options to prevent this from happening again?

A: The simple solution is stop talking on your phone while you’re driving, but if you must take or make calls, you have a few options. First, use your phone’s speed dial feature, which will allow you to make calls with the press of only one button. This, combined with the speakerphone setting on your phone should keep you out of trouble. Another option is to make use of a Bluetooth “hands free” system. Bluetooth is basically a short range wireless communication system. Devices must be “paired” with one another before they can communicate and will recognize one another whenever they are in range after that. Your hands-free system can be a simple as an “in the ear” type, or as complex as a dash or visor mount unit that will convert your text messages to speech and vice versa. Dash/visor mount units have built in speakers and some will broadcast over an FM radio frequency to your vehicle sound system. The price of your hands-free system will be dictated by the features and the quality of the sound, both for you and for the person you’re talking to; the better systems are much better at fi ltering out background noise. Whichever system you choose, I assure you it’ll be cheaper than another ticket or an accident!

Q: What is a simple will?

A: Ask a lawyer: 99% of clients want a “simple” will. Yet, the so-called simple will is suitable for only about 20% of them. Why? The short answer: few people live the kind of simple life that makes a simple will appropriate. A simple will is one which names executors and gives all assets to a spouse unless the spouse predeceases in which case assets go the couple’s children. Why are so few wills simple? Because so few families are simple: about 50% of Canadian marriages end in divorce - creating tricky problems in treating children from earlier marriages fairly. Many couples don’t marry. Then, there are many couples, same sex and others, who have no children. In considering the myth of the simple will, one must also consider the type of assets a will maker has. Is there a stock portfolio? Does the will maker own land outside of Canada? Is there life insurance? There is a place for the simple will – but they’re not as common as people think.

Q: I need to purchase a new vehicle, should I buy it personally or through my business?

A: When considering the purchase of a new vehicle it is important to consider whether or not it will be used a little or a lot for personal use. If it will be used solely for work purposes, then yes purchase it through the business. You will be able to recover the HST paid on the purchases. If it is fi nanced, the interest becomes a business expense. Likewise the business will benefi t from the annual amortization (depre-ciation) expense. If the vehicle is used for both work and personal use things get a little more complicated. If the company purchases the vehicle, all the expenses as indicated above are still an expense to the business. How-ever the personal use component becomes taxable benefi t. The taxable benefi t has two components to the calculation; a standby charge and an operating expense benefi t. On the other hand if you purchase the vehicle personally, pay for all the operating costs, at the end of the year you can charge back these costs to the business. The usage charges are based on KM’s driven for business purposes at a rate of 52 cents per km on the fi rst 5,000 KM’s and 46 cents per KM thereafter. If the vehicle is going to be used for a dual purpose; personal and business, it is important keep a log book. Consult your Certifi ed General Accountant for further details.

Q: Do I need an Anti-Virus program? Or two?

A: In today’s world, installing an anti-virus program on your computing device is essential. Whether you work on an Android Tablet, an Apple MacBook, or some form of PC device - Linux or Microsoft Windows based - you need to protect yourself from the enormous - and ever increasing number of threats out there. There are free options available which do an excellent job and are suffi cient for any home user who is not in need of extra fi rewall controls. Most of the free anti-virus solutions are licensed for home use only, while Microsoft’s Security Essentials product can be used by small businesses of 10 PCs or less - but it will only run on authentic Microsoft Windows machines. You should never run more than one Antivirus program on your device at once. If you are replacing your antivirus, you must remove the old program and re-start your machine prior to installing the new one. Some highly integrated and resource intensive anti-virus programs like McAfee or Norton require special steps to ensure that they are fully removed from a computer. Gold Rush Technologies can assist in this procedure.

Q: Who owns a Spousal RRSP? I’ve contributed to my husband’s spousal RRSP for several years. Is it true that I have no claim on this plan and no control as to when the funds will be withdrawn?

A: Yes, you are correct. RRSPs belong to the annuitant - in your case, your husband. The money is not yours, even though you originally contributed it, and you have no say over how it is invested or when it is withdrawn. And by the way, there are tax implications to you, as the contributor, if any withdrawals are made within three years after a contribution. If the funds are withdrawn after the three year period has expired, than income will be taxed in your husband’s hands.

EAT WELL. LIVE LONGER.


The Lac la Hache Elementary School hosted members from the Canim Lake and Alkali Lake Indian bands June 15.

School principal Steve Carpenter says it was a great day and the students learned so much from the dancers, drummers and elders of both bands. “Learning in a hands-on environ-ment from people who are living with-in the culture has so much more of an impact than reading from a book or on the computer for our stu-dents.

“We had kids who said they weren’t going to dance at the beginning of the day, and at the end, not one student sat out of the dancing.

The ones who said they weren’t going to dance ended up hav-ing the most fun and even saying, ‘this is great’ and ‘this is a lot of fun’ as I danced past them.”

The band members played their large group drum and sang as the dancers presented a number of different styles of dances, including jingle dance, fancy

dance and traditional dance.

A lunch consisting of fresh vegetables, bannock, smoked salmon and stew with rice was served and enjoyed by all.

Dancer Francis (Frankie) Robbins

invited the school out to visit Alkali Lake, and Carpenter says they are going to take him up on it next year and go out to see a sweat lodge, pipe ceremony and the cultural his-tory his band has on

their reserve.“We ended the

day with a group picture of everyone mixed in together and no groups based on culture, band, age, gender or anything — just the way our world should be.”

The 108 Heritage Site is open for the season, with a few recent improvements that will help to pre-serve the popular attraction.

A metal roof, with a cost of $23,000, was installed on the circa-1905, 105 Mile Ranch Museum, to replace wood shingles that were showing signs of dete-rioration.

The 100 Mile & District Historical Society manages the site and society presi-dent Tom Rutledge says it was time to re-roof the building.

“There were indi-cations of leaks, so we had to do some-thing,” he says, adding that replacing the roof with wood

shingles would have cost $45,000.

A Heritage Legacy Fund of British Columbia grant, in addition to financial help from the Cariboo Regional District,

took care of the cost. An outdoor deck in front of the craft store was also replaced.

The site opened to the public on May 19 on the Victoria Day

long weekend, as has been the case in the past. It will be open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. until June 18, when they will extend their hours to include Monday. The last day of operation is Sept. 3.

Heritage Site updated for 2012 tourist season

Newsbeat

By Tom FletcherBlack Press

New British Columbia liquor regulations include a $575 fine for adults who buy alcohol for under-aged drinkers, or serve them in res-taurants and pubs.

The fines apply to serving staff who fail to check identi-fication, in addition to penalties already in place for licensed establishments that serve under-aged drinkers. Those pen-alties range from fines of $7,500 to $10,000 or a licence suspension of 10 to 15 days.

Parents and guardians who pro-vide booze to their under-19 children are exempt from the tick-ets.

The new tickets are

part of an effort by the B.C. Liberal gov-ernment to streamline the court system, after imposing new admin-istrative penalties for impaired driving.

For supplying alco-hol to minors, police previously handed out court appearance notices. The new tickets can still be dis-puted in court, but the onus is on the person ticketed to dispute or pay it.

B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices

Association president Ian Tostenson said the organization supports the new penalties.

1928 wine law has sour taste

The federal gov-ernment is finally moving to modernize its alcohol transporta-tion rules, amending a 1928 law that pre-vents people from buying wine across provincial borders.

The House of Commons has unani-mously supported

a private members’ bill from Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas that provides for a personal exemp-tion from a law created during the Prohibition Era to stop smuggling and tax evasion. The wine industry and British Columbia politicians have argued individ-uals should be able to buy or order a case of wine they enjoyed while on vacation.

The bill still has to pass the Senate.

Once the fed-eral law is changed, B.C. and other prov-inces would need to establish a personal exemption to allow personal purchase and shipment of alco-holic beverages across provincial borders.

Beer carts don’t need ICBC

The B.C. Liberal government has changed regulations that required golf course beverage carts to be covered by an

ICBC insurance pol-icy.

“Carrying double coverage for liabil-ity wasn’t enhancing safety for golf course members and guests,” said Douglas Ferne of the National Golf Course Owners Association.

“In fact, it was just creating more work and cost for golf courses, with no real benefits.”

The change also relieves miniature cars such as those

used in parades, as well as industrial util-ity vehicles that are only driven briefly to cross roads to get to a worksite. The new regulations require owners to have pri-vate third-party liability insurance.

In 2011, the pro-vincial government created similar exemptions for golf carts and mobile equipment, such as personal lifts and powered wheelbar-rows.

Fines target bootleggers, alcohol servers

Rutledge says visits to the site were down in 2011 compared to previous years, but cash donations made by visitors were greater. It resulted in the same amount of money being taken in.

The historical soci-ety had its annual general meeting on April 28 during which longtime direc-tor Gil Adolph hung up his hat and Bill McLaughlin of 150 Mile House was welcomed as his replacement.

Rutledge says the new roof and deck are the only major proj-ects that were slated for this year and efforts of the board will now be focused on maintenance of the seven-acre (2.8-hect-are) site.

Aboriginal Day on June 21 saw Canim Lake Band Elders and dancers join local children and their parents to cel-

ebrate in the sunshine at the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre. Dozens of people enjoyed fresh bannock, story-

time with the Elders, dancing and

a luncheon served by the CFEC

staff.

Celebrating National Aboriginal Day

B2 www.100milefreepress.net Wednesday, June 27, 2012 100 Mile Free Press

District

Sadly, one of Interlakes best-loved cowboys, Danny Lytton passed away June 17 at the age of 63, after a brave battle with cancer.

In 2000, Dan suf-fered a serious rodeo accident that left him a paraplegic, but it didn’t stop him from going about his “cow-boying business,” and he could often be found with his cattle, or trimming some-one’s horses’ hooves.

Dan was also indispensable as a director of Roe Lake & District Recreation Commission and chair of their Interlakes BCRA Rodeo for many years. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Sincere sympathy is extended to Linda, Ty, Tana, Jodie, Leon, Pat and Sandy, as well as Danny’s large extended family.

A celebration of Dan’s life will be held at Interlakes Hall on

July 1 at 2 p.m.

CondolencesThe community

also extends deepest condolences to Nicki Bonter and family on the June 9 loss of her mother, Marjorie, aged 92. Services were held June 23.

Residents will recall that Sheridan’s Norm Boulanger passed away last

December. His family has just announced a Celebration of Life to honour him will be held at Interlakes Hall, Aug. 8, start-ing at 3 p.m. They look forward to see-ing Norm’s many friends.

Congratulations Congratulations

to Bridge Lake Elementary School

students on winning the “Small Schools” award at the South End Interschool Track & Field Meet, June 7.

Giorgia Lanzoni, 11, won a major prize in the 100 Mile House Free Press “Draw Dad” contest. Giorgia portrayed her dad, Luca, pulling in such a big fish that it was

off the end of the pic-ture.

Many congratu-lations to graduate Kelly Diether who fin-ished her high school years with six scholar-ships, including one from the Highway 24/Interlakes Lions Club.

Nicolle Dupont and her daughter, Ronnie Blattler, are to be congratulated for placing well in western riding at the 100 Mile & District’s Outriders Club show June 10.

The community sends warmest con-gratulations to Marion and Don Traill on a huge milestone, their 60th wedding anni-versary, today (June 27).

Birthday bubbly goes to Carol Coulter and Frank Jerema.

Rev it up for the annu-al 100 Mile House Hot July Nights Car & Bike Show that rolls into town on July 13-15.

Folks can expect to see close to 140 cars and motorcycles on display in beautiful Centennial Park and get in on a host of other activities connected with the event.

The busy weekend opens Friday evening with Show ‘n Shine pre-registration and Cruisin’ the Dub at the A&W parking lot.

That’s where you’ll find live entertainment from 5 to 9 p.m. and be able to catch a sneak preview of some of the vehicles that will be featured in the main show.

Centennial Park is the

place to be on Saturday for the Show ‘n Shine, swap meet, and Car and Bike show, which takes place from 1 to 5:30 p.m.

Along with some amazing vehicles, there

will be a swap meet, food vendors, displays and entertainment with featured band Sidetrack from 100 Mile House. Registration for the Show ‘n Shine starts at 10 a.m.

at the park and there is no cost to enter your car or bike. Awards will be handed out at 5 p.m.

On Saturday night, there’s a ‘50s theme dance at the 100 Mile

Community Hall, hosted by the 100 Mile House Lions Club. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and tickets are $10 at Whimsey Gifts, Money Concepts and at the car show.

Get an early start on Sunday morning with a pancake breakfast at Central GM at 8 a.m., fol-lowed by a Rod Run at 10 a.m.

Chuck Douglas, Hot July Nights organizing committee member, says he’s looking forward to having the show held in Centennial Park again this year.

“It worked out very well last year and we were very happy being there. It’s easier to manage and we’re able to organize the Rotary stage, so everyone can hear the announce-ments and music.”

When the event was

held in the past on Birch Avenue, he adds, announcements and music could only be heard in the direct vicin-ity of the stage.

He notes a major change this year will be the availability of con-venient handicap on-site parking.

Show ‘n Shine entrants will be included in a free draw for a multitude of prizes and they will also be eligible to win trophies for best in class for both cars and bikes.

There are 14 classes of cars and four classes of bikes that will be judged and voted on by show entrants.

For more information, contact the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce at 250-395-6124 or check out the event website at www.hotjulynights.ca.

Hot July Nights will be pretty cool

The annual Great Cariboo Ride brought more than 50 people to the Gang Ranch on horseback to camp and ride together in July 2011.

Doris Embree orga-nizes the event along with trail boss Gerry Barrett and about a dozen other ride club members.

She says 40 guests, all of whom brought their own horses, enjoyed the weeklong ride.

“The weather was just beautiful; we were so lucky. It rained just enough to keep it from being uncomfortably hot. It is a dry belt out there, with lots of cactus.”

Many guests came out for the ride from various parts of British Columbia, including Vancouver Island, the Coast, the Okanagan, the South Kootenays and the North.

There were about half a dozen people from Alberta, as well as one person from Germany.

Most participants had been on the ride before, or were spous-es of past guests, but Embree notes that for two riders, it had been 20 years since they last participated.

“It was neat to see them again,” says Embree, a long-time member of

the society.The guests were

joined by 14 club members who guided, cooked and provided activities and other support, she adds.

Embree explains the riders travelled to Bear Springs located on the large, historic Gang Ranch.

“There were long and short rides every day, travelling to old homesteads and other points of inter-est, including the store at Home Ranch, past Freshwater Lake, and the ‘bone yard’ full of [antique farm] machinery that has

seen better days.”Rides also visited

some old, tumble-down homesteads at Wyatt Flats and Williams Meadow, the Table Mountain flats overlooking Churn Creek and the Fraser River, and the George’s Rock gravesite.

“It’s a rock that’s a real short, steep climb to the top and you can see for miles in every direction. It’s pretty phenomenal.”

There was also plenty of time for folks to relax and enjoy campfires and camaraderie, Embree

says, as well as sing-ing songs, playing horseshoes and com-peting in other games, such as horseback scavenger hunts.

Two young female guests brought in a pink bull from Alberta who pro-vided some fun instruction, demon-strations and group practice in team rop-ing, she adds.

Local square dance caller Dave Abbs and his wife, Bev, once again made the long drive out to the camp on poor, muddy roads with a generator and music to host a night

of fun-filled dance.It was harder to

ride the horses along the trails last sum-mer, as they were knee-deep in alfalfa, which is unusual for the area, she notes.

“It was right under the horses’ noses, so they were eating as they walked.”

The food prepared by regular camp cook Ulli Vogler didn’t leave any hungry guests, either.

“People can’t believe how won-derful her meals are because you’re way out in the bush.”

Vogler was up at

four in the morning to begin preparing food and Embree explains the club also sends out a generator and a semi-trailer with a

refrigerator (reefer) to help ensure great meals.

“We would like to thank Larry and Bev Ramstad, managers of the Gang Ranch, for granting us per-mission to ride on the Gang Ranch prop-erty.”

Former 108 Mile Ranch resident Hans Dankel founded the Great Cariboo Ride in 1982, she notes, so 2012 marks the 30th annual ride.

One of Dankel’s earliest rides, also dubbed Ride of a Lifetime, saw more than four dozen peo-ple travel the 400 mile long Cariboo Gold Rush Trail on horse-back from 100 Mile House to Expo ‘86, arriving to an official reception inside the world exposition’s Kodak Bowl on May 30, 1986.

Dear Canimites,As I write this, an

early morning sun shines warmly over the southern hills of Canim Lake, the first after a week of rain.

The birds are sing-ing, and the residents, too. Kermit the frog would love this place, green beyond belief.

Stepping stonesEleven of Canim

Lake’s avid gardeners gathered to fashion stained glass step-ping stones to add a touch of artistic and functional beauty to their gardens, using patterns of hum-mingbirds, iris, frogs, angels and bright suns.

The women were helped in their efforts by Kathy Reid from

100 Mile House. This is the third year the community club organized the activ-ity. The morning ended with a lunch provided by Louise Kerr, Bev McGregor, Margo Wagner and Lynne Baker.

When all was done, Garry Baker got to reclaim his garage with the help of Doug McGregor.

Mahood Lake campingBig improvements

have been made to the Mahood Lake Campground this

year, with the instal-lation of $30,000 worth of children’s playground equip-ment, including a new climbing wall.

Park facility opera-tors Paul and Karen Blackwell say chil-dren love it.

In addition to that, the huge for-mer group camping area was divided into two sites, each with its own facili-ties and they are still spacious enough to serve a large gather-ing. Recently Sherri and Colin Latimer celebrated their wed-ding there, with more than 100 guests, many staying overnight in tents and RVs.

Group and indi-vidual sites can be booked online at www.discovercamp ing.ca. Select Wells Gray Park, as the

Mahood Lake camp-ground is contained within it.

The campground is a great picnicking spot after a hike into the Canim and Mahood falls. Paul says there is no charge for the picnic area, which is located by the beach and the playground equipment.

There is also a very good boat launch. The fishing has been “excellent” this year, with a 25-pound lake trout landed already.

Ask an Expert: Why do I have to clean my eavestroughs?

DAN KAY

PH: 250-396-4505 • Cell: 250-706-8021www.danscapes.ca

If the eaves are full and the drains are plugged, they defeat the purpose of having eaves in the fi rst place. Water overfl ows and causes damage to landscaping and the gutter system. The weight of the water in the gutter will cause it to pull away and eventually fall off.Basement fl ooding: High volumes of rain over short time periods are becoming commonplace. Typically, the volume of rainwater exceeds the capability of your sump pump or sewer to discharge the rainwater away from your house. As a result, basement fl ooding occurs. Ensuring rainwater fl ows away from your property minimizes the volume of water your sump pump or sewer has to handle.Wood rot: If the drains are plugged, water could sit in the gutters for weeks. If you have wooden gutters or facia, these areas will rot fi rst. If your gutters are overfl owing, the splash back effect will cause doorways, garage doors, low-to-the-ground siding and decks to rot.Mosquito infestation: Mosquitoes love stagnant water. If your gutters are plugged they can be an oasis for mosquito larvae to grow and hatch.Icedams: Lastly, If your gutters are plugged up when winter sets in, ice will fi ll up the gutters fi rst and then creep up your roof. As it melts water will come through your ceilings and walls. If left unattended this water could destroy your fl oors and cause considerable mold within the home.

Aboriginal DayHorse Lake

Elementary cel-ebrated National Aboriginal Day on June 20.

The grade 4 and 5 students highlighted their recent studies on Aboriginal culture. There were all sorts of creations depict-ing homes, artwork and spiritual beliefs displayed in the hall-ways of the school.

Redneck funLone Butte Fish &

Wildlife Association (LBFW) members had a great weekend at their Redneck shoot

on June 16-17.With 15 differ-

ent stages and many humorous themes, it was an event to behold. Aside from a few showers and one downpour on Sunday, the weather co-operated.

The funds raised at this event will be used for the big shoot of the year, the International Practical Shooting C o n f e d e r a t i o n (IPSC) British Columbia Provincial Championship, which the LBFWA will be hosting on Sept. 1-2.

Quiet so farWith all the rain

we have been hav-ing, things have been quiet for the Lone Butte Volunteer Fire Department.

While everyone still must stay vigi-lant when doing any

campfires, so far the season is off to a good start.

BUTTE… from page B4

Hall, July 7 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

She will give peo-ple the latest news from the CRD, and then provide every-one an opportunity to raise issues and questions they might have. As a fundraiser, refreshments, hot-dogs and hamburgers will be served by the Hawkins Lake Volunteer Firefighters

Association. It sounds as if it

will be a neighbour-ly gathering, with a good chance to catch up on the news and discuss issues of mutual interest.

Peter and Heather Thomson, Teri Sobo and Philip McManamon will be cooking the per-fect barbecue, with Georgina Kay as mis-tress of the till, and there was never a friendlier face to give

your money to than she.

Baby pack projectLeona Hurrell at

Hawkins Lake is still working on the baby pack project with assistance from knit-ters in the area and the Lower Mainland.

In January, she sent 40 pounds of sup-plies to the project in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, and it was received with thanks. The project

assembles packs of essentials for mothers who have just given birth but who are in difficulty providing the basics for their child.

The packs include a diaper and pin, bib, vest, sweater, blanket, soap and a knitted toy.

You can read more about this by searching www.baby packproject.com on the Internet, and by calling Leona at 250-

397-2586.I would love to

hear about your fam-ily gatherings and other special events this summer. Please let me know.

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

Lac Des Roches is located

along Highway 24, often referred to as the “Fishing Highway”. It is known for having an excellent trout fishery, and is heav-ily stocked each year with Pennask, Blackwater and Tunkwa strains of rainbow trout.The lake is renowned for its Mayfly hatch, usu-ally occuring during

May and June, which provides some of the best fly fishing in the region. Fly fishers from around the world come to the lake spe-cifically for this hatch.

Good flies to keep on hand for summer fish-ing are Tom Thumbs, and green or grey sedge patterns are good bets. Shrimp can work well all season, while the trout seem to favour nymph patterns in the fall. A well-placed Woolly Worm can pro-duce good results, too.Gear fishing is also pop-ular, and trolling is an effective way to make the most of your time on the lake. Needlefish and flatfish work well here, aiming for gold or yellow colour com-binations. Spin casting is also effective, using similar colours.

LAKE ACCESS

Highway 24 runs east-west and joins

two major highways in BC: Highway 97 and Highway 5. From Highway 97 the turn-off is located about 10 km south of 100 Mile House. Follow the high-way (east) for about 50 km to the lake.Travelling along Highway 5 the turn-off is located in the town of Little Fort, about 95 km north of Kamloops. Head west along Highway 24 for approximately 30 km to the lake. T h e r e are two

resorts along the lake, Lac Des Roches Resort, and Eagle Island Resort. Both are full service facilities with boat launches and cab-ins available. Lac Des Roches Resort restau-rant offers an excellent authentic Italian dining experience, courte-sy of owners / chefs Laura and Luca Lanzoni , not to be missed if you are in the area.
