100 Mile House Free Press, September 05, 2012

Rotary Club of 100 Mile House president Maureen Pinkney says now is the time for people to come out in support of the proposed downtown square.

The Rotary Club and the District of 100 Mile House are co-hosting a public meeting to deter-mine whether a town square has the support of the area residents and businesses. It will be held in the council cham-bers, 385 Birch Ave., on

Thursday (Sept. 6), start-ing at 7 p.m.

The square is proposed for Third Street between the community hall and BJ’s Donuts & Eatery and from Birch Avenue to the alley behind the community hall and the restaurant. The remainder of Third Avenue would be open to two-way traffic.

Pinkney notes the club has made several changes to the original proposal she made to mayor and council on June 26, as Rotary has reacted to concerns voiced at that meeting. Most of the changes are due to dis-trict requests, with one from the public and the other from the district and BJ’s Donuts.

Because of the infra-structure under Third Street, the Christmas tree will be replaced with a water feature, and there will be a log arch and gate at the alley side of the square for maintenance

vehicle entry.The gazebo in the cor-

ner of the square will now be a larger amphitheatre due to numerous requests from the public.

The district also wants a larger crosswalk across Birch Avenue with a level entrance and no parking

in front of the water fea-ture to better show off the new square. Pinkney notes this will reduce street parking by two stalls.

There will also be a change in the alley fenc-ing behind BJ’s Donuts, Pinkney adds.

Although not part of the square itself, the existing entrance would be blocked off by the new square; therefore, a new entrance would be made off the alley with a new two-way street for customers and delivery vehicles.

Otherwise, the con-cept remains the same, she says, adding most communities in British Columbia have town squares and 100 Mile House is lucky because its square will be in the

Ainsworth Engineered Canada LP sees posi-tive steps reflected in the report recently released by the province’s Special Committee on Timber Supply, including some of its own recommendations.

Mike Kennedy, Ainsworth’s BC Timber-lands forestry manager, had addressed the com-mittee at the 100 Mile House hearing in July.

He says the committee had a “very difficult job” in its mandate to come up

with recommendations that would cover a broad range of interests in British Columbia’s for-ests.

“Overall, we are very pleased with the recom-mendations, and with respect to A i n s w o r t h ’ s interests, par-ticularly the ones around forest utiliza-tion.”

The committee’s rec-ommendation to create new types of forest ten-ure was one Ainsworth

found “very encourag-ing,” Kennedy adds.

“A supple-mental forest licence is of par-ticular interest to Ainsworth as an opportunity to better facili-tate utilization of some of the fibre that’s out there right now.”

He explains anoth-er positive action for the forest company the committee has advised involves a potential for creating a fibre-based

annual allowable cut (AAC) pilot.

“We feel 100 Mile House would be an ideal area to implement that type of an AAC pilot, particularly because the timber supply review is just getting off the ground right now.”

Ainsworth also has specific interest in the committee’s sugges-tion for a review of the legislation policies and administrative framework around forest utilization, Kennedy says.

Schools warned

A d v a n c e d E d u c a t i o n Minister Naomi Yamamoto is warning colleges and universities that the adult en te r ta inment industry may begin focusing its efforts on recruit-ing students in a more visible way than it has done in the past.

In a letter sent to British Columbia col-leges and universities last week, Yamamoto advised that based on news stories out of Windsor, Ont., recruiters for the adult entertain-ment industry may try to attend post-secondary job fairs this fall in jurisdictions across Canada.

This past spring, the industry sug-gested it would recruit on or near Vancouver public schools, which prompted a response from school board officials who felt strongly that public educa-tional facilities are not the place to recruit work-ers for these industries.


Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School gradu-ate Lauren Sortome just found out she has won the coveted Governor General’s Bronze Medal for her outstanding aca-demic achievements.

School principal Vic Brett presented the medal to Lauren at PSO on Aug. 29, only days before she left 100 Mile House to attend the University of Victoria.

“I met her at the school, congratulated her and told her that after all of her provincial exams, her average was 95.6 per cent. It’s amazing; she did 18 senior-level courses, which is way more than she needed to graduate.”

Brett explains there was much more to Lauren’s accomplishments than just academics.

Noting she was the co-valedictorian for the grad class, he says Lauren was a member of the peer coun-selling group, a leader in the school with the lead-ership class and a math tutor.

“She really was the heart and soul of this school last year, and gave her time freely to others.”

He adds Lauren didn’t just walk away with the prestigious medal, as there were five other grads who were within a single per-centage point of each other

at the time of the gradua-tion ceremonies. They all had to wait for the results of the provincial exams to see who would come away with it.

Lauren says she is extremely pleased she won the Governor General’s medal, but notes it was a very tight competi-tion with the other five students – Kirsty Bock,

Andrea Zemanek, Debrah Zemanek, Alicia Briggs and Ben Bedford.

She adds the difference between her and the next nearest student was a mere .07 per cent.

“I don’t know we all did it. We all worked incred-ibly hard.”

Noting all five girls were from the French Immersion program, Lauren says

they have come through school together.

“We’ve been together for ever; we know each other so well and I think we passed our work eth-ics on to each other. So, I think it helped us bring our marks up because we competed against each other.”

Lauren also speaks high-ly of her whole grad class, saying it was extremely talented and strong in so many areas.

“I think a lot of it has to do with the fact we all love school and have put a lot of passion into it.”

She explains that win-ning the medal meant all of her hard work paid off.

“I would work so hard during the year and start to feel a bit burned out and wonder why I’m doing it, so it’s nice to have a reward at the end of it. I guess it’s a concrete rep-resentation of how much I love learning.

“My mom was so proud and I lost my dad about a month ago and she said, ‘I just wish your dad was here to see this because he would be so proud of you’. So it is hard to have that and have him not be here.”

Lauren adds her teach-ers also played a large role in the success of the stu-dents.

“PSO has the most unbelievably caring and respectful teachers. They are so supportive, and

with Mr. Brett at the top of it, they create such a wonderful opportunity for learning.”

Lauren is off to the University of Victoria and is taking biology and psy-chology. She wants to go to med school.

“I want to become a doc-tor and work in pediatric palliative care. My dream job is in Ottawa at Rogers Place Palliative Care…. You’re not trying to save them; you’re just trying to make the time they have as valuable as it can be.”

Lauren says she chose Victoria because it is so “beautiful” and because she is really interesting in rowing.

While she was asked to try out for the varsi-ty rowing team, Lauren says the coach said she couldn’t do more than 15 hours of school, but she will be doing 26 hours a week. Therefore, she will row recreationally.

Lauren says she will be coming back to 100 Mile for Christmas and, hope-fully, the summers.

“Just to spend time with my mom, and with losing dad, it made me realize how valuable the time is I have with her. My brother, mom and I have become pretty close and my family means a lot to me, so I’m sure I’ll be coming back.

“I also love 100 Mile; I think it’s great. It’s cute and I love knowing every-body in town.”

Lauren Sortome wins prestigious award

Lauren Sortome proudly displays the Governor General’s Academic Medal she won as Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School’s top academic student. Sortome was among six students who were vying for the medal and they had to wait for the provincial exam results before the winner was announced.


“That was very central in our presen-tation, and we made it very clear that the long-term future of Ainsworth’s OSB plant is dependant on acquisition of for-est tenure for the long term.”

He explains the organization also sees opportunity in the report for develop-ment of this kind of tenure to harvest and use more of the fibre that currently gets burned, or otherwise goes to waste.

“There are build-ing blocks for what could be [realized] in

the forest industry in 100 Mile House.”

Kennedy adds the forest company is in support of “any-thing the government can take on” that will increase utiliza-tion of the existing forest land base and timber.

There is a “lot of wood” left in waste and cull piles under existing harvest operations, he says, adding Ainsworth believes a significant opportunity exists for using that in both its own, and other manufacturing oper-ations.

“We’d much rather see that [fibre] get put to a manufacturing use, employ people and create wealth in the South Cariboo than we would to see it burned.”

Much could be con-sumed at Ainsworth’s OSB plant in 100 Mile House, but Kennedy explains there’s also additional fibre out

there that could potentially be used for other purposes.

“As we said in our presentation, much of that starts with ensuring that we’re utilizing the fibre from existing opera-tions right now, before we start to expand the land base into other, non-traditional harvesting areas.”

However, he also sees poten-tial for expanding Ainsworth’s opera-tions to encompass fibre beyond its existing standard of utilization that sees wood going into the OSB plant.

“That possibility is always out there, but is largely dependant on the availability of fibre supply.”

While the “most important” aspect remains seeing fibre for OSB production right now, Kennedy says beyond that, the more fibre that can be used, the better.

He adds that over-all, the committee handled its assigned task well.

“I think they did a good job of balanc-ing maintenance of non-timber resources with recognition of the importance of the forest industry across the Interior, particu-larly in the Mountain Pine Beetle zone.

“I would congrat-ulate them for taking a balanced approach and putting some thoughtful ideas out there based on a very broad range of input that they received during the hearings.”

heart of the down-town core.

Pinkney says she has been to all of the area businesses, which have been sup-portive of the square. However, one busi-ness has a petition regarding the loss of parking spaces.

“We just have to clarify with the public that we’ll be replacing these with other parking spaces and handicap park-ing and other parking in the area.”

Pinkney says she has had business own-ers, who are out of the downtown core, phone her with sup-port, saying that when it comes time to build the square, they would donate their “knowl-edge, equipment and products, etc.”

The town square would be the perfect kickoff to the revi-talization of Birch Avenue, she says, adding that during her meeting with district staff, it was noted much of the area around the com-munity hall needed “sprucing up.”

There is a grant available to do that and they expressed interest in getting it all done at the same time, Pinkney explains.

“It would be good to get that, which

is big chunk of the downtown core, and carry on with the rest of it.”

Pinkney adds it’s important to get a decision soon, so the grants can be applied for, as they are often handed out on a first-come-first-serve basis, when they’re gone, they’re gone for another year.

Pinkney says the Rotary Club is look-ing for approval from council to go forward with the project, and as soon as they get it, the club can start looking for match-ing grants from the Rotary District and Rotary International, as well as other fund-ing sources.

With a budget of $400,000, she says the Rotary Club will have to raise around

$40,000 and a lot of the rest will be grants and matching grants and in-kind dona-tions.

“We are only ask-ing for council’s approval and for the district to maintain the town square once it is built.”

Pinkney says she believes it’s vitally important for people to show up for the Sept. 6 meeting at the council chambers.

“I would like to see

all area residents and business owners go to the meeting. Anyone who wants the square to go through really needs to come and show their support, and anyone who has concerns that need to be addressed should to come so we can clarify if there’s been miscommunication, or we have to change our square so it works for everybody.

“We want this to happen and we’re here for the commu-nity. This would just be such a beautiful thing to have and just enhance our commu-nity hall.”

Noting these kinds of meetings always attract some nay-sayers, she says it’s important those who support the project show up to voice that support.

“If people can’t make it to the meet-ing and they want the square to go forward, they should send in a letter or an e-mail to me at [email protected].”

The local Rotary Club and the District of 100 Mile House are looking for town square input.

Folks who are out and about in 100 Mile House today (Sept. 5) may notice British Columbia gov-ernment employees walking the bricks and carrying picket signs.

B.C. Government and Service Emplo-yees’ Union (BCGEU), Professional Emplo-yees Association (PEA) and Canadian Office & profession-al Employees Union (COPE) Local 378 will be conducting a one-day, province-wide strike in 153 commu-nities, including 100 Mile House.

Picket lines will be

set up at the Service BC building on Highway 97 and will affect the Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resources, as well as the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and Service BC workers.

There will also be a picket line at the gov-ernment liquor store at the Cariboo Mall.

Court workers would also be impact-ed by the strike, but the union has an agreement with the government that courthouses cannot be struck.

The last one-day BCGEU strike in 100 Mile House was on Aug. 7.

BCGEU president

Daryll Walker noted since 2010, his mem-bers have suffered a “real” wage cut of five per cent. The gov-ernment’s last offer, which was withdrawn following the Aug. 7 strike, included a pro-posed wage hike of 3.5 per cent over two years.

However, the union rejected the offer because it wouldn’t keep up with infla-tion.

This strike is the latest move in the union’s bid for a new contract from the province.

The BCGEU has been without a con-

tract since March 31.“We are looking for

a fair and reasonable agreement, but the government is not lis-tening, says Walker.

M e a n w h i l e , Cariboo-Chilcot in MLA Donna Barnett shrugs her shoulders and says the BCGEU is within its rights to walk out for the day. “They’re not breaking any laws.”

She notes the union was offered a 3.5 per cent wage increase over two years.

“When times are tough and other people are taking no raises, I think that’s a fair offer.”

She adds the gov-ernment has to be responsible to the tax-payers because these are the people paying the bills.

After three B.C. Liberal cabinet ministers and a par-liamentary secretary announced last week they would not be seeking re-election in May 2013, Premier Christy Clark told the

media she would be shuffling the cabinet this week.

Two of the party’s heavy hitters, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon and Education Minister George Abbott, were among those stepping away after the end of this term. Both unsuccess-fully ran against Clark in the 2011 party lead-ership bid.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett spoke highly of both Falcon and Abbott whom she supported in the leadership race.

She noted Falcon was the transporta-tion minister when the pine beetle hit and found $2 million for road construction for Exeter, Horse Lake and Canim-Hendrix Lake roads, and was at the helm when the Cariboo Connector work started.

When Falcon was the health minister, he made sure Fischer Place long-term care beds were opened, she added.

She also praised Abbott and noted he did a great job negotiating with the teachers’ union.

However, Barnett said she doesn’t think either man was walk-ing away necessarily because they lost in the leadership race.

“When you’ve been there for so many years, worked

so hard and if you can’t go to the next level, maybe it’s time to let somebody else do it. And then there are their personal lives to consider.”

Children and Family Development Minister Mary McNeil and John Les, parliamentary secre-

tary to the premier, also announced last week they wouldn’t be running in the next provincial election.

Other B.C. Liberals who have announced they are not running again include Kevin Krueger, Harry Bloy, Kash Heed, Dave Hayer, Murray Coell and Bill Barisoff.

Former cabi-net ministers Barry Penner and Iain Black resigned their seats last year and were replaced by NDP MLAs in a pair of byelections.

Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen quit the BC Liberal Party in March and joined the B.C. Conservatives.

These departures

have led some politi-cal pundits to state people are abandon-ing the ship before the next election.

BC Conser-vative Party Leader said it was evident that both the government and the governing party are in turmoil.

“In part that is because of inter-nal dissension but, more importantly, it’s because British Columbians desire fundamental change in how our province is governed and a change in the govern-ment.”

While she agrees the government has lost a lot of the old guard and some very strong ministers, Barnett said she is not worried about the party losing strength.

“There was a bunch of rookies who arrived in the 2009 election who had the biggest education of their lives with the [Harmonized Sales Tax] and have more war wounds than probably most politi-cians ever had and they’ve learned the hard way.

“I think we have some real good calibre people who probably understand people more than those who never had this experi-ence.”

Asked if she

would be interested in a position in the new cabinet, Barnett said she never went to Victoria to become a cabinet minister.

“I went there to do the things I do for my constituency and for rural British Columbia. I went there to be a foot soldier and I’m very happy to be a foot soldier.”

Barnett not worried about departure of B.C. Liberal Party heavy hitters

A section of Highway 97 south of 83 Mile will be realigned and wid-ened from two lanes to four lanes, starting one kilometre south of Bullock Lake and moving south for 4.4 km.

This project ties into the existing four-laning north of Stormy Road and is part of the

Cariboo Connector Four Laning Program, which will upgrade Highway 97 from Cache Creek to Prince George.

The four lanes will include wider shoul-ders, a paved median and rumble strips, which are intended to improve safety and reduce collisions.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says Highway 97 is an important corri-

dor for transporting goods north and south in a safe man-ner and improves traffic flow.

“This is all a part of a very important trans-portation project to the Cariboo-Chilcotin and I’m amazed at the turnaround speed that each individual project is getting. Before we know it, all Cariboo Connector construc-tion will be complete and that’s wonderful

news for us.”She adds the pass-

ing opportunities in both directions will reduce driver frustra-tion from following slower-moving vehi-cles and improve safety.

This project is part of Phase 2 of the Cariboo Connector Four Laning. When Phase 2 is completed, nearly 50 per cent of the corridor will be either three lanes or

four lanes. This contract, val-

ued at nearly $6.5 million, was awarded to Cantex-Okanagan Construction Ltd.

Work will com-mence in September and be completed by the end of September 2013.

Sept. 9 is international Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness Day.

FASD is an umbrella term, which describes the range of effects that can occur in an individual who was exposed to alcohol during preg-nancy. The effects may include physical, mental, behavioural and/or learn-ing difficulties with possible lifelong implications.

This day — the ninth day of the ninth month was chosen to emphasize how impor-tant it is for women to avoid drinking alcohol during the nine months of pregnancy.

FASD is often described as an “invisible disabil-ity” because those affected may not show any physi-cal signs of their disability. Symptoms of FASD are more likely to appear in behav-

iours, such as hyperactivity, lack of focus, immature social behaviour, poor judgment, poor problem-solving skills and difficulty learning from consequences.

It is important to recognize FASD is caused by a brain injury and, therefore, sup-porting affected individuals requires changing expecta-tions rather than expecting

the individual to change. Although incurable, FASD

is preventable. Communities can help prevent FASD by working together to sup-port pregnant women and their partners in avoiding alcohol during pregnancy.

This year, the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre

(CFEC) is launching a cam-paign, called Let’s talk about FASD, to increase awareness of FASD among youth. The campaign includes informa-tional signs throughout town, posters at the Youth Zone and students will have the oppor-tunity to do a quiz and win a prize.

For more information about CFEC or the Key Worker program, contact Eliane Wanner-Van Osch at 250-395-5155, or e-mail [email protected].

School is back in session on a full-time basis tomorrow (Sept. 6), so it means we have to be careful to make sure students get to and

from school safely.Students of all ages are excited about going

back to school to see their friends, meet new teachers or, perhaps, they’re embarking on a new chapter of their lives.

The last thing we want to happen is to have that excitement come crashing down on them.

As motorists, we have to take the initial safety steps, as we are the ones driving the vehicles that do the damage.

We have to remember the maximum speed limit in a school zone is 30 km/h, and it doesn’t hurt to slow down a bit more if there are a lot of children on the sidewalks, especially near cross-walks and intersections.

The 30 km/h speed limit posted in school zones is in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and we should always stop for pedestrians – it’s the law.

It is also important to note vehicles approach-ing from both directions must stop for school buses when their lights are flashing.

If a vehicle is stopped in front of us, it may have yielded for a pedestrian, so we have to be prepared to stop, too.

When we’re dropping children off in school zones, we should stop and allow them to exit the vehicle from the door closest to the sidewalk.

We should never allow our children to cross mid-block.

However, students also need to be safety wise and road wary to avoid accidents.

Students must not be distracted when they are going to and from school, especially when they are walking through intersections and cross-walks.

Older students need to stop texting and remove headphones or ear buds when crossing the street.

They must not jaywalk as it is both danger-ous and it also sets a bad example for younger children.

As parents, we need to teach our children to look both ways and make eye contact with a motorist before crossing the road.

These are simple safety rules and if they are practised daily, everyone will have a safe and happy day.

Slow down and be aware and safe

Editorial

The technology market offers a choice between two kinds of smart meters.

There is the relatively benign variety, which transmits its data over landlines. Then there is the type of smart meter BC Hydro is imposing on British Columbians, which includes two embedded microwave-emitting, wireless communication trans-mitters (Microwave Device).

On May 31, 2011, the World Health Organization recognized radiofrequency electromagnet-ic fields are a Class 2B possible human cancer risk. The emissions generated by the Microwave Device fall under this classifica-tion of emissions and risk.

Why are we being exposed to this risk and who is behind it? BC Hydro is, for all its purposes, an agent of the provincial gov-ernment and its powers may be exercised only as an agent of the government. (Section 3(1) of the Hydro and Power Authority Act [RSBC 1996] CHAPTER 212.)

The imposition of a microwave transmitter in our homes by a government agent violates the sanctity of the home and is incon-sistent with the very nature of a free society.

In a world full of toxic chemi-cals and radiation, the home is the last place of refuge, a zone

of autonomous control and free choice. It is a private place where the state should not be imposing itself or its devices.

This is about freedom of choice. Given the existing concerns regard-ing the risk to health and safety by these Microwave Devices, we decline to have them at our homes and we prohibit you from entering our properties for the purpose of installing such devices.

You assert your contractual right to “access” to your equip-ment. We concede that you may continue to access our proper-ties for the purpose of reading our present analogue meters. If an analogue meter needs replace-ment, you may replace it with another analogue meter.

Our problem is not with what you are “accessing” - it is what you are seeking to leave behind. Your right of access does not go so far so as to entitle you to install a device that continuously gener-ates toxic radiation.

Neither does the Clean Energy Act give you that entitlement.

In fact, that legislation does not require, authorize, or even men-tion the Microwave Devices or their functional capabilities.

You admit the benign land-line variety of smart meter would fulfill the communication and transmission functionality requirements as prescribed by the CEA, but you continue to impose the toxic Microwave Device on B.C. residents against our explic-it objection. (See BC Hydro’s response submission to the Commission dated Jan. 13, 2012, at page 4, para 6 [Tab 3].)

You abuse your power by con-tinuing with installations despite the fact the interpretation of the Clean Energy Act is a matter cur-rently before the British Columbia Court of Appeal.

We say “no” to your entry onto our lands for the purpose of installing Microwave Devices. You have responded by threatening to cut off our power, but British Columbians will not accede to the strong arm of the state, as exer-cised through the unilateral and coercive actions of BC Hydro. In our view, neither will the courts.

Letters to the editorSeparating oil from manureVICTORIA – I was as surprised

as anyone to hear about the plan by this newspaper’s owner, David Black, to begin regulato-ry work on an oil refinery for Kitimat.

I’ll leave it to others to com-ment on the practicality of that plan, and whether it would make the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project more acceptable to British Columbia’s government and population.

Black Press news coverage, columns, letters to the editor and other reader comments are not affected by this project, and there has been a range of views expressed already.

Whatever the merits of the refinery idea, it has advanced the debate over pipelines and the place of oil in our society. That’s a good thing, because as someone with a basic knowledge of chem-istry and some experience in oil refining, I have noticed a lot of ignorance about the subject.

Today, I’d like to address some of the main misconceptions, which have been exploited by some opponents. The first one is oil pollution in general and how it gets into the environment.

A global study by the Smithsonian Institution in 1995 calculated the amount of oil mak-ing its way into oceans this way: big tanker spills accounted for 37 million gallons a year, about five per cent of the total marine oil pollution identified.

By far the largest source was oil runoff from land into drains, from oil changes, municipal and indus-trial wastes and other sources: 363 million gallons.

Bilge cleaning and other rou-tine ship maintenance added 137 million gallons, four times the tanker spill average.

Air pollution from vehicles and industry deposited hydrocarbon particles equal to another 97 mil-lion gallons; natural seeps added 62 million gallons; and offshore drilling discharges accounted for 15 million gallons.

So that’s the first thing to understand. It’s not tankers and pipelines doing most of the pol-luting. It’s you and me.

Then there is the propaganda about greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands crude. Actor Robert Redford is one of the high-est-profile pitchmen for the false notion that “tar sands” oil gener-ates three times the greenhouse gases as conventional oil.

The facts are clear. The most widely cited source is a graph prepared by Cambridge Energy Research Associates, which shows that 75 per cent of greenhouse gases from all types of crude occur when the gasoline, jet fuel and

diesel are burned by the end user.Yes, there are variations in

emissions on the remaining quar-ter. Emissions from mined oil sands crude are slightly higher than steam extraction, which is slightly higher than convention-ally drilled and pumped crude. The most greenhouse gas-inten-sive crude used in North America is California heavy crude, which is conventionally drilled.

Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has cal-culated.

Two American environmental groups, including the one fronted by Redford, have lately been pro-moting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines. False, says the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades.

The Trans-Mountain pipe-line has been carrying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years. It has periodically car-ried heavy crude for 40 years, and diluted bitumen for 25 years.

Some of that crude is refined in Washington and the gasoline and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. And, of course, Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments.

Let’s not forget the most com-mon heavy oil used in B.C. It’s called asphalt.

To the editor:This is an open letter

to International Trade Minister Ed Fast.

As the international trade critic for the Liberal Party, I am concerned with the manner in which the federal government has been conducting the Canada-European Trade Agreement (CETA) nego-tiations.

The Liberal Party strongly supports free trade and expanding new markets, but we need to ensure it is in the best interests of Canadians.

Unfortunately, these negotiations have been conducted behind closed doors and Canadians have been left guessing what is on the table. This has contributed to a loss of confidence among Canadians that the agree-ment will result in any domestic net benefits.

We know intellectual property rights, spe-cifically pharmaceutical patent protection, are on the negotiating table, but we simply do not know to what extent.

In June, the premiers voiced their fear the CETA agreement could result in increased pharmaceutical costs. As a result, a num-ber of provinces requested the federal government compensate for any such increase as a consequence of this agreement.

However, this is not the

only issue that has been raised over the past num-ber of months regarding these negotiations.

We do not know the impact the CETA will have on government procurement. We do not know the impact the CETA will have on the future of agricultural supply management. On Oct. 6, 2011, you pro-vided the International Trade Committee with a statement in which you informed the committee the government complet-ed a number of sectoral analyses with respect to the CETA. However, your refusal to provide the committee with those reports has certainly con-tributed to the increased uncertainty surrounding the CETA.

I am requesting you provide to the committee the most recent sectoral analyses, including any regarding the issue of intellectual property as relating to pharmaceuti-cals.

Canadians deserve to know how the agreement is proceeding and what compromises are on the negotiating table. Without transparency, confidence that any such arrange-ment will result in net benefits to Canada will continue to wane.

To the editor: If planning to vote NDP for the first time, people

should consider some facts first. British Columbia has a triple AAA credit rating and

is a “have” province and has the second lowest basic income tax rate in Canada. Barry Gibb wrote a song called, “Don’t throw it all away.”

Why would you never take back a former spouse from a divorce to recreate the nightmare, but you are willing to do it to change the government?

B.C. is a business investment province and investment does not agree with NDP governments, but can the NDP guarantee you will not get a layoff slip from your place of employment if, in fact, it becomes government.

Joe Sawchuk

Don’t go back to NDP

To the editor: In the late 1980s, BC Hydro and

the Socred government of the day faced a challenge they had not previously faced - trying to meet British Columbia’s growing energy needs at a time of growing environ-mental concern and controversy around the construction of large hydro dams.

In response, BC Hydro and the Socreds embarked on two impor-tant policy initiatives that were designed to delay, for as long as possible, the construction of new hydro dams, such as the Site C dam on the Peace River.

Energy conservation measures, designed to help reduce energy demand, were one of these key pol-icy initiatives. The other policy was to seek out new supplies of energy

from independent power produc-ers (IPPs) to help satisfy overall increases in energy demand.

For those who’ve been led to believe that IPPs were created by Gordon Campbell and the B.C. Liberals, IPPs have been a signifi-cant part of B.C. energy policy since the late 1980s. IPPs in B.C. predate the B.C. Liberal government by more than a decade.

Even more shocking for those who’ve been misled about IPPs in B.C. is the fact that the NDP gov-ernment of the 1990s continued to encourage and support IPPs as a key part of B.C. energy policy.

In 1992, NDP Energy and Mines Minister Anne Edwards stated: “British Columbians expect rea-sonably-priced power, with no rate-shocks or unnecessary new

projects. They also expect low environmental impacts, regional economic benefits and long-term sustainability in their energy sec-tor. Independent producers have a big role to play in making sure we reach those goals.”

Nothing has changed today or over the past decade. British Columbians still expect reasonably priced power, no rate-shocks, low environmental impacts and many other benefits.

Energy conservation and energy from IPPs remain among the pillars of B.C. energy policy, and both con-tinue to play a major role in making sure the province meets its energy objectives.

Two men were riding quads in the Gauthier Road area, west of Prince George around 9 p.m., when they were stopped by a man with a rifle. The man pointed the gun at them, told them they were trespassing, and removed the keys from the vehicles.

They were held for a period of time before the keys were returned, at which time they left the area.

The man was identified as Sandor Francias Gabris, 42, of Prince George. He was arrested without incident and appeared in court on Aug. 24, facing two counts each of pointing a firearm and forcible confinement as well as a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm.

He was released until his next court appear-ance, scheduled for Sept. 12.

RCMP seeking information on jumperQUESNEL - Investigation continues into a

suspicious occurrence which took place on the Moffat Bridge in Quesnel Saturday afternoon.

Shortly before 3 p.m. Aug. 18, Quesnel RCMP received a report of a male jumping off of the Moffat Bridge into the Fraser River.

Witnesses were concerned for the male’s well being and called 911. Quesnel RCMP and Search and Rescue personnel commenced a search of the shoreline and river but were unable to locate the male. An aerial search of the area was also conducted. The male was not located and Quesnel RCMP have not received any subsequent missing persons report for a male matching this description.

The male is described as a thin Caucasian male who appeared to be in his late teens or early 20s. He was wearing light brown shorts and had long dark hair and possibly a beard.

RCMP are looking to speak with anyone who may have information regarding this incident.

The most serious of all female cancers is ovarian cancer. Over 2600 Canadian women are diagnosed every year and 1750 succumb to this disease. There is no screening test to detect this cancer but when found early and treated, the survival rate is 90%. If you have any abdominal symptoms that last for more than three weeks, see your doctor.Many people tend to take vaccines for granted but they do save lives. The number of children saved from dying of measles during the past decade was over 9,500,000 worldwide. This represents a 74% drop in measles deaths. Probiotics are “friendly” bacteria found in food products like yogurt and also available in capsules. Diarrhea is a side effect of many regular antibiotics. By taking probiotic supplements during antibiotic therapy, diarrhea can often be prevented. It is best to take the probiotic dose 2-4 hours after the antibiotic dose. Head lice often become at problem in children at this time of year. Some of the older lice treatments are not as effective anymore. Nyda is a spray solution that can be used in children over the age of two and is effective against the lice as well as eliminating the nits (eggs). Our pharmacists can advise you about this product.

100 Mile RCMP responded to 78 com-plaints and calls for service during the past week.

Excessive speedingIt was a busy

weekend for 100 Mile Traffic Services, as six drivers were stopped for speeding exces-sively on Highway 97 south of 100 Mile House.

The speeds of these offenders ranged from 47 to 121 km/h over the posted speed limit.

Each of the driv-ers had their vehicles impounded for seven days and were charged with exces-sive speed.

The male driver who reached the speed of 121 km/h over the posted speed limit also did not pos-sess a valid driver’s licence and was also charged for that offence.

Drug bustIn the evening of

Aug. 30, members of the 100 Mile House RCMP executed a search warrant in relation to a theft of Hydro complaint at a residence on Emerald Crescent near Lac La Hache.

While execut-ing the warrant, a marijuana grow oper-ation was discovered inside the residence. Items seized from the

residence included materials from an electrical diversion, 792 marijuana plants in various stages of production and mar-i juana-production equipment.

Two people were arrested and held in custody for a short period of time prior to being released.

Charges of theft of telecommunica-tions and production of marijuana are being recommended to Crown against a male resident of Lac la Hache and a female resident of Calgary, Alberta with a court date in January 2013.

The potential yield

of the seized drugs is estimated to be $450,000. The investi-gation into this matter is continuing.

CrimeStoppersOn Aug. 29 at 6

a.m., an employee from a business in the 400 block of Birch Avenue in 100 Mile House was open-ing the business for the morning when an unknown male approached the female employee and demanded money.

The employee replied that there was no money on the premises.

At that time, the audible alarm from the business went off and the unknown

male left on foot southbound on Cedar Avenue.

The employee was not injured and was able to watch the sus-pect walk away.

100 Mile RCMP made extensive patrols in the area but were unable to find anyone matching the

suspect’s description. Police are looking for a male suspect approximately six feet tall wearing dark clothing.

If you have any information on this or any other crimes in the 100 Mile House area, call 1-800-222 TIPS (8477).

P O L I C E R E P O R T

Driver nabbed at 121 km/h over limit

Bad turn… The light standard at the corner of Highway 97 and First Avenue in 100 Mile House was taken down when a tractor-trailer driver made an improper turn. The trailer unit went over the sidewalk, catching the light standard and taking it down Aug. 30. Crews were out the same day to repair the damage.

Work is underway on three Community Safety Enhancement projects to help improve student and bus safety by provid-ing pullouts off the road and improving traffic flow around school buses.

South Cariboo school bus pullouts will be construct-ed on Horse Lake Road at Wolfe Road near Horse Lake; on Highway 24 at Machete Lake Road near Bridge Lake; and on Green Lake South Road at Lake Access No. 7.

Work is scheduled to be completed by the end of September.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says it’s vitally important to not have children stand-ing near a road while waiting to get on a school bus.

Barnett adds she often hears complaints from grandparents

about this issue.“Anything we can

do to improve the safety of children and motorists is something I support wholeheart-edly. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) has done a wonderful job of iden-tifying these areas of improvement.”

These projects

are part of $5 mil-lion invested this year by the provin-cial government for safety projects in and near communities to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists

and motorists on pro-vincial highways.

These projects were selected by the MOTI through con-sultation with local governments and law enforcement.

Ready to cook… The new kitchen has now been installed at 100 Mile Elementary School by School District #27 maintenance staff, including Mark Scott, left. It’s ready for Parent Advisory Council presi-dent Angela Cole, centre, to help prepare hot lunches for students, including her daughter Avery Cole.

School pullouts under constructionAnything we can do to improve the safety of children and motorists is something I support wholeheartedly.”

Polish up the chrome and purchase a new toy for the 12th Annual Toy Run in 100 Mile House.

The popular benefit event for the 100 Mile Food Bank Society takes place in the A&W parking lot on Sept. 16,

with the collection of toys and cash starting at 10 a.m.

At 11 a.m., engines will be revved up for a leisurely ride to a destination that will be determined on ride day and be depen-dent on the weather.

Phil Doddridge, one of the key co-ordi-nators, encourages all motor enthusiasts to get involved.

“It’s one way that the community can pull together to help the food bank.”

Last year, the

event raised $1,200 in cash and brought in a truckload of toys, which were distrib-uted by the food bank at Christmas. Doddridge says he’d like to hit the $2,000 mark this year.

He adds plans for

a show ‘n shine to be held at the end of the ride are in the works, but details are still being ironed out.

For more informa-tion, call Doddridge at 250-395-2296, or Steve Anderson at 250-395-3547.

Brian Grove, Spanish Mountain Gold president and CEO, and Marissa Nobauer from Cantana Consulting appeared before the Cariboo Regional District board to pro-vide an update on the Spanish Mountain Gold Mine project, Aug. 24.

The project, which is located near Likely, has completed the exploration drilling

phase and is now in the pre-environ-mental assessment process.

If this mine pro-ceeds, approximately 600 temporary jobs will be created dur-ing the construction phase and 300 perma-nent positions would be created once the mine is operational.

Further informa-tion about this project is available online at s p a n i s h m o u n t a i n gold.com.

MLA updateCariboo-Chilcotin

MLA Donna Barnett

provided the direc-tors with information about some of the projects she is cur-rently working on throughout the region.

Topics included an update on the Special

Committee on Timber Supply.

Barnett also expressed her sup-port for the South Cariboo’s and the CRD’s opposition to the proposed federal electoral boundaries.

Community

Lac la Hache is the latest community in the Cariboo-Chilcotin to develop a wheel-chair-accessible trail.

The Lac la Hache Community Trail was built in partnership between the Cariboo Regional District (CRD), the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, North-ern Development Initiative Trust, the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition and the Lac la Hache Community Club.

Says CRD chair Al Richmond: “This is the next step in making the Cariboo-Chilcotin one of the most attractive wheelchair-accessible tourism destinations in the world. Projects, such as the Lac la Hache Community Trail, show what can be accomplished through regional collaboration and commitment to improving the qual-ity of life for residents

and visitors of all abilities.”

The 620-metre trail provides visitors picturesque views of Lac la Hache from several view-points. It starts from an expansive acces-sible shelter with picnic tables, and heads down to the

lakeshore.Lac la Hache

Community Club president Larry McCrea says the club offers its thanks to everyone involved and invites the public to come and take a stroll along the lake.

When our gov-ernment announced

the $30-mil-lion Community Recreation Program, the Lac la Hache Community Trail was exactly the sort of project we had in mind, says Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett.

Janine North, N o r t h e r n D e v e l o p m e n t Initiative Trust CEO, says Northern Development is pleased to assist Lac la Hache and many other Cariboo com-munities expand their wheelchair-accessible tourism opportu-nities through its Community Halls and Recreation Facilities grant program.

The Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition (CCBAC) funds proj-ects like these where there are strong partnerships to help our region

economically, envi-ronmentally and socially, says CCBAC chair Mayor Kerry Cook.

CRD trustees passed a resolution in 2006 to work towards developing the Cariboo-Chilcot in as a world leader in accessible outdoor recreation and tap into niche tour-ism markets for persons of low mobility. Other CRD wheelchair-acces-sible sites include Tatlayoko, Kersley’s Sisters Creek Trail, Cottonwood Historic Site, Sepa Lake Accessible Trail and the Horsefly Salmon Spawning Trails.

There are current-ly 13 other accessible wilderness trails being developed by the CRD, some of which were funded through the Community Recreation Program.


The Terry Fox Run will start at the South Cariboo Visitor Centre on Airport Road in 100 Mile House, Sept. 16.

The run will begin at 1 p.m. and par-ticipants can walk, run, roller blade, ride bikes, and push strollers for the five-kilometre event.

Event organizer Werner Heine says “everything is on track, but more vol-

unteers are still needed.”

Werner and his wife, Janet, have organized this event for 12 years and now they want to step back after this year’s event.

Werner says they hope someone will step up and take over. He adds this would be a good time for someone to come out and learn what this event is all about.

All ages are encouraged to partic-ipate in the run, and

all donations to the Terry Fox Foundation are appreciated.

For more informa-tion, contact Janet or Werner at 250-791-6647 or e-mail them at [email protected].

District of 100 Mile House corporate administrator Donna Bellingham has left the municipality to accept a position with the District of Hope.

100 Mile House administrator Roy Scott says Belling-ham’s absence is a great loss to the com-munity.

“Donna is a pret-ty selflessly devoted individual who will be missed.

“She’d do abso-lutely anything you’d ask her to do and he organi-zational skills were far, far above aver-age.”

Bellingham was also “awesome” to work with and an “excellent” employee, he adds.

Born and raised in Vancouver, she relo-cated to the South

Cariboo in 1984.She worked in

banking, real estate bookkeeping and conveyancing before joining the munici-pal staff in the early 1990s and quickly worked her way

up the ranks into administration.

Scott notes her departure “leaves a hole” in the orga-nization, but he’s confident in the skill sets of the remaining staff to fill that gap in

the short term.“We’ll assess if we

want to fill [that posi-tion] over time.

“It’s pretty hard to replace Donna. Her corporate history, after 17 years, will be tough to [match].”

The first bingo night of the season will be held Sept. 13 at Seventy Mile Access Centre (SMAC).

Doors open at 6:15 p.m. and play starts at 7. For more infor-mation, call Vic at 250-456-2321.

Poker tourneyThe first 70 Mile

House Volunteer Fire Department poker tournament will be

held Sept. 8 at the 70 Mile Community Hall.

Doors open at 11 a.m. and play starts at 1. Meals are available. The top 5 finishers receive cash prizes.

To register, call Vic at 250-456-2321 or e-mail [email protected].

SMAC meetingThe Seventy Mile

Access Centre will hold a general meet-ing at the centre Sept. 12, starting at 10 a.m., and everyone is wel-come.

Bookmobile The Thompson-

Nicola Bookmobile will be in the area on Sept. 6.

It will be at the

South Green Lake Fire Hall from 10 to 11 a.m., and at the

70 Mile General Store, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Donna Bellingham, left, was presented with a gift from the District of 100 Mile House by Councillor Bill Hadden during a recent dinner held in her honour shortly before she left for a new position in Hope.

This continu-ing series of articles highlights the most common invasive plants found in the South Cariboo, and how to identify them, with information and photos provided by the Cariboo Regional District.

Invasive plants are second only to habitat loss for the most significant threat to biodiver-sity, identified by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. There are currently 30 different invasive plants in the

Cariboo region, with this number grow-ing over time, and all pose a significant threat in many ways.

Number 5 on the

Top 10 list: Himalayan Balsam

Also known as Policemen’s Helmet, Jewel Weed, Poor Man’s Orchid or the “Touch Me Not Plant,” Himalayan Balsam spreads when the seedpods are dis-

turbed and explode, launching the seeds up to five metres away from the parent plant. These plants can take over wet-land areas and cause extreme soil erosion due to their shallow root system.

Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association (CCCTA) president Pat Corbett says it is looking to develop its image bank of high-resolution photos and video of the region for tourism purposes.

The bank is constantly being updated with newer images, and he notes the CCCTA wel-comes new submissions providing they depict people having fun or adventure in unique, scenic environments.

“We invite residents from across the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region to submit their high-resolution photos and video, if they have a spectacular scene with photogenic colour and people.

“We’d love to see their pictures promoting activities in the community.”

Summer imagery is in particular demand now, for its experiential, community branding promotions.

In the South Cariboo, summer images spe-cifically being sought that might appeal to tourists are of Fishing Highway 24, Chasm and Lac la Hache.

Corbett notes the strategic direction for tourism photos all across Canada includes people participating in activities, as opposed to the more traditional landscape scenes.

However, a breathtaking backdrop remains an essential component, he explains.

The criteria can be downloaded from www.landwithoutlimits.com, including a list of suggested subjects and some photograph-ic principles and guidelines.

To submit photos or video, e-mail Amy Thacker at [email protected] or call toll-free to 1-800-663-5885.

A number of guest speakers are slated to do presentations and demonstrations dur-ing the South Cariboo Community Fall Fair, Sept. 7-9.

Exhibit co-ordi-nator M-J Cousins notes that on Friday evening, Gina Myhill-Jones (2012 Garlic Fest cook-off winner) will do a demonstra-tion on how to make hot and cold Garlic Canapés.

On Saturday (Sept. 8), the always popu-lar Don Basserman will return to do a presentation on urban farming and preserves at 10:30 a.m., and at 2 p.m., South Cariboo Agri-Cultural Centre member Sherry Stewart will talk about the nutritional ways to prepare kale, its health benefits and the new super snack, kale chips, as well as other uses and ways to prepare kale.

On Saturday, outdoor stage per-formances will begin at 11 a.m. Performers will include the Cheeky Lil’ Monkeys, Christine Lewis and Courtney Peterson, Border Run and the

2012 Cariboo Idols will start at 3 p.m.

On Sunday (Sept. 9) at 1 p.m., Community Enhancement and Economic Develop-ment Society (CEEDS) members Rod Henneker will explain how to make cranber-ry juice and jellies.

There will be a number of perform-ers, including Gary Seminoff, on the outdoor stage, and beginning at 1 p.m., the Cariboo Idols make their way on stage for a song before the 2012 win-ner is announced.

Parents can drop their children off for some playtime at the Kidzone. It’s open on Sept. 7 from 5 to 7 p.m.; Sept. 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sept. 9 from 10 a.m.

to 3 p.m.Parents will then

be able to check out the many vendors, booths and displays in the arena with-out having to worry about their children.

Canlan Ice Sports is bringing in four bouncy castle toys for children up to age 12 to play on in Lumberman’s Park ball field next to the arena.

Dog agility and archery demos will take place in the Stan

Halcro Arena during the fair.

A display booth manned by South Cariboo Agri-Cultural Enterprise Centre CEEDS members will be answering ques-tions and handing out information out-side the curling rink exhibit entrance all weekend. They want to raise awareness of local sustainable living and organic produce in the South Cariboo.

Community

Many exhibit regis-trations have already come in online for the 2012 South Cariboo Community Fall Fair, Sept. 7-9.

M-J Cousins says the plans for the com-petition exhibits are in the final stages.

“The fair is a time to showcase the many talents in our community, includ-ing cooking, baking, gardening, arts and crafts and so much more.”

Adults and chil-dren alike can enter some 400 different categories.

Cousins encourag-es everyone to enter the people’s choice categories for the best scarecrow, best-dressed zucchini and the best Cariboo out-door plant container.

She urges people to register their entries online rather than stand in long line-ups on registration day (Sept. 4). Entry registrations will

close at 8 p.m. Do not bring your

entry pieces in at registration time, she adds.

Entries can be dropped off Sept. 6 from 4 to 8 p.m., and the final intake of entries will be accept-ed Sept. 7 from 8 to 11 a.m. at the exhibit hall in the curling rink.

Fees per entry are $1 for adults and children 16 years and under are 50 cents. These fees are to be paid when items are dropped off.

The committee will not be accepting any late entries.

Complete rules, guidelines and entry forms can be found in the Fall Fair guide, which can be found at numer-ous locations around town and online at www.100milefallfair.com.

Contact Cousins at 250-791-1950for more information and to volunteer.

Booth spaces are almost full for the annual South Cariboo Community Fall Fair trade show at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, Sept. 7-9.

There is room for 98 booths in the arena and Canlan spokes-person and booth co-ordinator Tara Grinyer says they are almost all spoken for.

Grinyer adds she expects “a really great show.”

There is a good mix of vendors, com-munity groups and information booths again this year, she notes.

People will find many of the regular vendors from past years, as well as a number of new food, clothing and other vendor, she says.

There are a few

first-timers to the show and some brand new businesses in the community that will be showcasing their wares. Vendors and

displays will be both inside and outside of the arena.

Some great door-prize draws will be done randomly dur-

ing the entire fair weekend.

DRIVE ONE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY is an amazing NON-fundraiser FUNDRAISER brought to you exclusively by Sunrise FORD and CrimeStoppers!

help earn the $20 for each 5 minute test drive necessary to earn the total available $6000 that FORD of Canada and Sunrise FORD are trying to give away!

South Cariboo athletes man-aged to earn a few medals at the Burnaby 2012 BC Seniors Games on Aug. 21-25, with 4,000 seniors, aged 55 years and older, competing in 26 sports.

Events included a wide range of sports and interests from dragon boat racing and whist to pickleball and one-act plays.

Zone 9 North Central Region representative and ath-lete Beverley Iverson, 75, of 108 Mile Ranch represented the zone well, reeling in three sil-ver medals in track-and-field competition.

Her medals came in the age class 75-79, 5,000-metre power walk, and 100-m and 200-m sprints. She also placed fifth in both shot put and javelin.

Iverson says she is her own coach and trainer.

“I walk around the lake every day for an hour and train in the yard, jogging around the driveway. I have a simple bike, too, and I ride that around.”

She also swims daily and takes aquacize classes.

New this year to the sports of javelin and shot put, Iverson borrowed equipment from a local school after its track-and-field season was over and a friend showed her how to use them.

“You live and learn, even at 75.”

Iverson says she would like to get a javelin, shot put and

discus of her own, so she can start training earlier next year.

This was Iverson’s fifth trip to the Games and the three latest medals bring her overall total to eight. The haul includes a bronze in cards, two gold in swimming, and in 2010, two bronze in track-and-field.

With no previous back-ground in track-and-field,

swimming would have been her field of choice, but being the only swim competitor from the North Central Region back in 2010, she says it was too lonely.

“There are lots of people in track from our zone. It’s nice being able to root for other peo-ple and it makes it more fun.”

Iverson says she wasn’t sports-minded or athletic before entering her first Seniors Games, but she’s hooked now and wishes more people would give it a try.

“It’s lots of fun and the people you meet are so nice. Everyone was very helpful in telling me what to do for next year. They’re there for partici-pation and not for the straight winning.”

In carpet bowling, Rob and Rose Magnusson teamed up with Ed and Maureen Van Gool to place fifth in the men and women 55+ team of four event.

Also in carpet bowling, Roy Winton, Sandy Hurly and Kitty Carroll placed eighth in the

men and women 55+ team of three division.

Cyclist Neil Endacott, 63, competed in a hill climb, time trial and the 60-kilometre dis-tance event but did not place. He’d put on 900 km training for the Games and was surprised to see that it wasn’t enough to keep him ahead of some of the competition.

“I had guys 70-plus passing me.”

David Funk, who competed in snooker, didn’t place and neither did Dan Carson, Ralph MacEachern, or Rene and Ruth LeBlanc who competed in darts.

Rene says there was a lot of competition this year.

“We still had a lot of fun and met a lot of new people. I’ll be back next year, but have to qualify first.”

Among the 13 participating zones, North Central placed sixth in the medal count, with 34 gold, 36 silvers, and 26 bronzes for a total of 96. The winner was Zone 4 Lower Mainland with 433 medals.

Winning not everything at BC Seniors Games

Neil Endacott of Horse Lake competed in a three-part cycling event, which included a 60-kilometre distance race at the 2012 Burnaby BC Seniors Games recently.

Adrena l ine -dr iven drivers left nothing on the table at the North West Mud Racing Association (NWMRA) sanctioned Scotty’s 100 Mile Mud Drags on the weekend.

Slightly more than 50 vehicles churned up the muck, Sept. 1-2 at 105 Mile, in a trio of carefully prepared pits.

While the Cariboo gumbo claimed a few vic-tims, Overdraft, driven by Steve Strell of Langley set a new track record of 2.346 seconds in the paddle class event, anni-hilating the old record of 2.364. The record came on his final pass of the event, which NWMRA spokes-person Dave Biddlecomb says was no surprise.

“It’s typically when people put their machines on kill. They’ll go for broke on the last pass of the weekend.”

Crowds were moderate on Saturday when cooler weather prevailed, but they came out in great-

er numbers on Sunday, when it was warmer. Over the two days, 323 adults and 140 children came through the gate.

The event was the final one of a five-event NWMRA series and when total points were tallied, Boondoggle driven by Jim Meade from Lac la

Hache finished in second place overall in E Class. He also placed first and posted the fastest time on the weekend in the same event.

In A Class competition, Bad Habit Two, driven by Kyle Buchanan of Lone Butte, was first with the best three of four passes

made on the weekend. He also had the fastest time in his class. Austin Briand of Lone Butte drove Son of a Redneck to fourth place.

Midlife Crisis driv-en by Chris Meeres of Prince George won the B Class event and also picked up second place

in the D event.Dirty 30s, driven by

Brad Astbury of Langley, was first in F Class, and Terry Barton of Lac la Hache picked up a third-place finish in the Street Class event driving Old Ugly.

The Street Class com-petition also had Rod

Morton of Lone Butte drive The Fishing Truck to fourth place.

“It was challenging mud,” says Christine Biddlecomb, NWMRA head timer. “It was quite gooey and thick and hard on the cars. That kind of mud creates a lot of breakage and it did.”

She adds it was a great weekend all in all.

“It was a good crowd and lots of cheering. On some of the really good passes, the crowd just went nuts.”

One of the highlights was Saturday’s halftime show during which a Ford Escort was run with-out coolant and people had to guess how long it would last. After the engine gave up, Bumpy, a monster truck driven by Leonard and Gerald Stern of Mission drove over the car, trying to finish it off.

The plan backfired with Bumpy rolling over onto its side. Next, the indestructi-ble little car withstood the assault of a front-end load-er for some time before finally caving in.

Scotty’s 100 Mile Mud Drags a crowd-pleaser

Mud Sweat and Beer, front, driven by Ian Brewster and Rob Gagnon of Langley ran into trouble during a pass with Midlife Crisis at Scotty’s 100 Mile Mud Drags on Sept. 1.

Ninety-three golf-ers shared $16,000 worth of prizes in this year’s Cariboo Open at the 108 Golf Resort, Aug. 31-Sept. 2.

Shane Wilkie shot an even par 213 over the three rounds to successfully defend his title for the third consecutive time.

Overall low net went to Jason Harris. Tom Huth was sec-ond by four strokes, followed by Chris

Seeley and Chris Stevens.

First flight low gross went to Jim Zailo, followed by Matt McNeil.

In the second flight, it was Eric Friesen low gross and Phil Bernert low net, followed by Guy Erickson and Al Sidor.

The third flight saw Brad Duncan win low gross and Dan Hadden took low net, followed by Larry Pinkney and Tom Lund.

The fourth-flight low gross went to Al Kregosky and Rob Shields had the low net, followed by Ron Thurston and Gary Desjardines.

When word gets out about the course conditions and priz-es, we can expect a lot more golfers next year, as each golfer went home with a dozen Pro V Titleist balls, a participant mug, souvenir book-let and an average of $150 in prizes.

There were 50 draw prizes, including patio sets and driv-ers, at the dinner on Saturday night and 42 prizes were hand-ed out to the winning golfers on Sunday afternoon.

Hats are tipped to the staff of the 108 Golf Resort for a great job.

Golfers go home with prizes

The Monday Afternoon Seniors Bowling League gets rolling on Sept. 10 for weekly sessions from noon to 2:30 p.m. at The Bowling Alley in 100 Mile House.

The league wel-comes people 55 years and older to join them for fun and exercise. The cost is $11.50 per session and that covers three games of bowling and prizes at the year-end banquet.

League president Laurrene Duff-Bailey says bowling with her group provides great social interac-tion and is a good winter pastime.

“It gets you active without stressing your body. New bowl-ers are welcome.”

Members play in team competition and also for individual high scores.

For more informa-tion, call Duff-Bailey at 250-791-6400.

The Hun City Mountain Bike Club is pretty pumped about its upcom-ing Stormrider Race Series, with events at 99 Mile and at 108 Mile, Sept. 22-23.

There is a cross-country challenge slated for the 108 Trail Network on Sept. 22 at 10 a.m., and a downhill race at 11 a.m. on Sept. 23 at the Stormrider Downhill course at the 99 Mile Trail Network.

There will be a barbecue in the skills park at the bottom of the course, following the downhill race.

Key organizer and club president Dwayne Chamberlain says a lot of work has gone into the building and main-tenance of both trail systems, along with repairs to signage after vandals ripped out approximately 20 signs on the 108 net-work.

Both trail systems, as well as the skills park in 100 Mile House, are main-tained by volunteers from the bike club and currently they’re

concentrating their efforts on construct-ing a second downhill trail at 99 Mile.

Chamberlain sees the skills park as a community gem.

“It’s a great place to practice technical riding with jumps, a wall ride and lots of other features and the Stormrider trail will take you right down to it.”

The bike park is located at the end of Seventh Street, just beyond Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School.

The 108 trails cross land owned by The Hills Health Ranch and Chamberlain says the bike club is working with The Hills to further build a mountain bike cul-ture in the area.

Bike trail maps are available for $10 from the club and can be purchased at 100 Miler Gear Garage. A deal is offered with

the purchase of a $20 club membership, which includes the book of maps and one free race.

Race entry fees are $15 for the first one and the second for $10 for club members. For non-members, it’s $20 for one and $35 for the pair.

Race registration can be done at the Gear Garage or online

at www.stormrider.ridethecariboo.ca.

Pre-registration is required to be includ-ed in the main race. Those who register on race day will ride in an alternate cat-egory.

For those who join the club, free partici-pation in weekly bike rides is offered. Rides leave from the 108 Heritage Site each Thursday at 6:30 p.m. until October. Rides last approximately two hours and riders use headlamps when it gets dark, says Chamberlain.

“We get between five and 13 riders and we encourage begin-ners to come and try it out. We ride as fast as the slowest rider and it’s a great way to get familiar with the trail system.”

More volunteers, including first aid attendants, are need-ed for both race days and those interested can stop in at the 100 Miler Gear Garage or contact him at 250-395-4555.

Bike club in gear for race series

Cross-country and downhill races will be included in the Stormrider Race Series mountain bike event on Sept. 22-23 at the 108 Trail Network and 99 Mile Trail Network respectively.

It’s been an up-and-down season for 108 Mile Ranch golf phenom Lynden Jeffrey.

The tall, lanky 15-year-old not only qualified for the British Columbia Juvenile Boys & Girls (14-16 years) Championships when it was held in Prince George (qualifier for all provincial age groups) on June 9-10, but he also qualified for the B.C. Junior championships (17-19 years).

He did this by winning the Prince George event by two strokes, with rounds of 73 (two over par) on the first day and 77 (six over par).

He led by two strokes going into the clubhouse after the first day, but says he was a bit nervous at the start of the sec-ond day because he was in the foursome with the four stron-gest players from the previous day. Two of them were two strokes back of him and the third was three back.

He got off to a bit

of rough start and was concentrating on beating the guys who were closest to him. By the fifth hole, Lynden says he real-ized the golfer who started three back was now ahead of him.

After taking stock of the situa-tion, Lynden says he decided to forget about what the other guys were doing and “just focus on my own game.”

Noting he didn’t play great that day, he adds the only thing that saved him was his putter.

“My putting was amazing; anything that was 10 feet and in was dropping.”

By playing his own game, he was able to pick up the lead and finished two strokes better than the rest of the field.

That was the high point, but it didn’t go very well after that.

Lynden says he was excited about qualifying for both the Junior and the Juvenile champion-ships, but he didn’t go to the Juniors in late July because of work commitments.

However, he felt confident about

competing in the Juveniles, which was being held at the Princeton Golf and Country Club, Aug. 21-23.

To prepare, he was hitting about 150 balls a day at the 108 Golf Resort.

Lynden says his putting is the best part of his game right now and he was confident going up against the 70 or so players he would be competing against in Princeton. And why not, he would be tak-ing his 2.4 handicap with him.

However, his dream to compete at the Provincials came crashing down when

Lynden contracted bronchitis on Aug. 15, less than a week before he was sup-posed to head down to Princeton.

Hopeful he might be able to shake it in time for the Provincials, Lynden says he was just too weak to play well.

“I was a little dis-appointed I couldn’t go, but I didn’t want to go there and shoot in high eighties or low nineties and just embarrass myself and not even make the cut.”

To make up for the disappointment, Lynden is going to compete in a couple of the Maple Leaf Junior

Tour one-day tourna-ments, which will put him up against more competitive players.

He will be com-peting at the Pitt Meadows Golf Club on Sept. 9 and the Pagoda Ridge Golf Course in Langley on Oct. 6.

Noting it will be a good test for him, Lynden says he wants to see how he stacks up against some of the better players in B.C. who follow the circuit.

He has been back out on the course hit-ting a lot of balls and tuning up his game for the fall tourna-ments, and says he is ready to compete.

Every golfer carries the appropriate weapons into every tourna-ment he or she enters.

Sometimes they have a lucky putter or a favourite driver or wedge; sometimes it’s the best clubs they can afford.

When Lynden Jeffrey arrived in Princeton for the Provincial Boys and Girls Championships, his golf bag contained nothing but Titleist products:

Irons – Titleist AP2Drivers – Titleist – 909D, including his driver, 3 wood and 5 woodWedges– Titleist VokeysPutter – Titleist Scotty Cameron with a fatty gripBalls – Titleist Pro V1Asked if he was sponsored by Titleist, Lynden smiles and says,

“I wish.”

What’s in the bag?

Disappointing season for Lynden Jeffrey

Most of the strokes are made or saved within 10-15 yards from the green, and 108 Mile Ranch golfer Lynden Jeffrey knows it’s important to perfect his short game.

Lynden Jeffrey says the strongest part of his game is his putting and a great putt starts by finding the correct line for the putt up.

The Central BC Team Penning A s s o c i a t i o n (CBCTPA) hosted a Canadian Qualifier, team cattle-penning competition July 28 and a team cattle-sort-ing July 29 at the 100 Mile House & District Rodeo Grounds.

CBCTPA presi-dent Caron Walker of 100 Mile House spearheaded the event where 60 rid-ers from Vanderhoof, Vernon, Langley and Germany joined the local riders.

Cattle penning had 127 sanctioned teams, a non-sanctioned Pro Am Novice with 20 teams, and sorting on Sunday with 86 teams for a total pay-out of $12,200.

Team cattle pen-ning consists of three riders in an arena who must cut out from a herd (30 head) and pen three head of cattle with the team’s assigned number within a specified time limit. The fastest time wins.The CBCTPA show in 100 Mile had two goes with the total of six head penned with the fastest com-bined time winning. This was a quali-fier for the National Finals, which attracts team penners from across Canada, in Claresholm, Aberta Oct. 5-8. Riders must attend a minimum of five sanctioned shows in order to compete at the Nationals.

PenningTen class First - Kelly

Anderson, Laurie Anderson and Laura Kokesch, 78.22 sec-onds.

Second - George deJonge, Debbie Molnar and Cathy Sinclair, 78.64.

Second - Jaime Giesbrecht, Joe Giesbrecht and Launi Giesbrecht, 91.37.

Third - Gord Tomson, Carol van-Dongen and Travis vanDongen, 99.54.

Team cattle sorting is where a small herd of numbered cattle (0-9) are brought into a large pen along with two others that have no numbers.

As the two-person team enters the pen, the starting number for each team will be announced. Then, the cattle must be brought through a gate in numeric order, leav-

ing the unnumbered cattle behind.

At the 100 Mile show, an interval timer was used. As each “clean” cow passed through the gate, the time is recorded. Any unnumbered cattle, or any cattle through the gate out of order results in a “no time.” The largest number of “clean” cattle with the fastest combined times wins.

At the show in 100 Mile, there were two goes (if you penned clean) and a Top 10. Sorting cattle is not a sanctioned event and many local riders competed.

The 2012 British Columbia Competitive Trail Ride Association rid-ers mounted up and rode the scenic trails of the Cariboo Plateau recently.

They started at The Hills Health Ranch campground and rode the trails that meandered to the surrounding lakes.

C o - o r d i n a t o r Joanne Macaluso explains the main objective of a compet-itive trail ride (CTR) is to work the horses on well-marked trails in a specific period of time, which pro-vides a basis of fair comparison for deter-mining the horse’s soundness, behaviour and attitude.

A CTR is not a race, and judgment in tim-ing and pacing is the key to success. The winner is usually the one who rode his or her horse at a consis-tent pace throughout the ride.

There are three levels of competi-tion. Level 1 is 19-32 kilometres in length, level 2 is 32-48 km and level three is

48-80 km. This year’s ride offered distances of 31.5 km, 47.5 km and 64 km.

The 26 riders and their mounts com-pleted their distances and were judged by Williams Lake veteri-narian Ross Hawkes.

Level 1Lightweight: first,

Elaine Harris, Surrey; second, Christine Heffernan, Nanaimo; and third, Becky Dent, Hope.

H e a v y w e i g h t : first, Greg Healey, Surrey, (High Point First Timer Award); second, Darla Dickenson, Hope;

and third, Rhonda Hittinger, Duncan.

Level 2 L i g h t w e i g h t :

first, June Melhuish, Lillooet.

Heavyweight: First, Madeline Bateman, Kamloops (Vet’s Choice Award and Overall High Point Award); second, Heidi deWit, Sicamous; and third, Denise Pascucci, Hope.

Level 3Lightweight: first,

Tammy Mercer, Fanny Bay; second, Cheryl Dzida, Kamloops; and third, Brittany Bewza, Chase.

H e a v y w e i g h t : first, Fred Dzida, Kamloops; and second, Bianca Mackenzie, Kelowna.

A silent auction was held and the pro-ceeds of more than $600 are being donat-ed to the 100 Mile & District General Hospital Auxiliary for distribution to Fischer Place and Mill Site Lodge, says Macaluso.

The tireless vol-unteers and local supporters, sponsors and businesses of the Cariboo Plateau have once again made this event a success, she adds.

Competitive Trail Ride enjoyed

Fanny Bay resident Tammy Mercer, left, and Nicola Maughn of 100 Mile House rode the level 3, 64-kilometre loop of trails in the Cariboo Plateau. The British Columbia Competitive Trail Ride started at The Hills Health Ranch at 108 Mile recently.

Penning and sorting competition enjoyed

Laura Saunders rode Sonny, while selecting cows during the recent cattle-sorting competition at the 100 Mile & District Outriders Grounds.

SANDBERGNorman Jennings

Norman Jennings Sandberg passed quietly away on Friday, August 10, 2012 at Greystone Manor in Maple Ridge B.C. Norman Sandberg was born in Lone Butte (formerly Fawn), BC., on August 5, 1929.

As a young man, he spent time in the merchant marine where he

learned his skills as a rigger, which led him on to his career as an Ironworker. His skill in the trade had him become an examiner for the Ironworker’s Union and subsequently an instructor at the Pacifi c Vocational Institute (now the British Columbia Institute of Technology) as an instructor. From there, Norman’s career moved to that of being a site inspector for the Workers Compensation Board (now WorkSafe BC).

He was predeceased by his wife Helen and son Wayne, and survived by his daughter Sherry (Ken) and grandson Richard; son Gary (Dorothy), daughters Deborah (Scott), Lorna (David), Carla (Daniel); brothers Ralph and Don, sister Sylvia and their families.

Due to his wishes there will be no service. Donations in his name may be made to the Canadian Lung Association.

Sandhill Lea Ranch and the BC Stock Dogs Association (BCSDA) are hosting a sheep dog trial, Sept. 8-9 near Abel Lake.

Dogs and handlers coming from as far away as Portland, Oregon and Pink Mountain in Northern British Columbia.

The event is sanc-tioned by the United States Border Collie Handlers Association and competitors will be collecting points to qualify for U.S. Nationals, says trial organizer and BCSDA director Lorne Landry.

The trial features border collies that will be judged on their ability to fetch a group of sheep from a distance and herd them through a stan-dard trial course that contains obstacles and lastly, into a pen, he explains.

“Most people think it’s amazing to

see. The Hollywood version of this is the movie, Babe.

He explains train-ing takes two or three years of working with a border collie’s natu-ral instincts to herd.

“These dogs are bred for the abil-ity to herd and that ability is then manip-ulated. Working and training of dogs is an invigorating and mind-releasing thing that gets in your blood.”

Landry says he would like the pub-

lic to come out and enjoy the event as spectators and there will be a full conces-sion on site. Trials go from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days and people should bring their own lawn chairs, but leave their pets at home.

To find the trial location, from Highway 97, turn west on Tatton Lake Road and follow the signs approximately 10 kilometres to the site on Abel Lake Road.

Sheep dog trials will amaze all spectatorsBy Spence

HendersonThe highest

number of golfers (70) showed up Aug. 39 for Men’s Night at the 108 Golf Resort and 46 hung around for dinner.

Conditions were perfect for many low scores and especially deuces and better. Seven deuces led by Harvey Knapp’s pair.

However, the whole club was happy for James Seeley who shot a hole-in-one on No. 15. Fortunately for him that was his c losest - to- the-pin (KP) hole, because for some strange reason, while deuces are paid out, aces aren’t. In fact, people who shoot aces are expected to buy drinks for the golfers playing with them. Again fortunately for James, the 108 men’s club has a policy of paying for drinks for each of the members in his name.

Of course, the golfers were far more excited about James skill and shot than they were about the free drink. Meanwhile, guest Tyler Williams shot a pair of eagles (two under par on a given hole).

Recently crowned club champion Shane Wilkie led the way with a two under par 33 among 13 rounds of 39 or better.

Jay Scott had the first-flight low net with a 32, while Knapp led the third flight with a net 31. Ron Thurston also shot a net 31, but he had already won the third-flight low gross with a 40.

Larry Pinkney had the second-flight low gross with a 39 and Jim French shot a net 33 and beat Ron Vandermay in a countback.

The Ryder Cup contest with Prince George, Quesnel and Williams Lake is coming up in few weeks in Williams Lake.

St. Timothy’s Anglican Church on the corner of Horse Lake and Blackstock roads has a new min-isterial husband and wife team, the Rev. Dr. Keith Dobyns and his wife, Rev. Kristen Dobyns.

They arrived in 100 Mile House on June 21 from Richmond, Indiana and began working at St. Timothy’s on July 2.

They cover St. Timothy’s Anglican Church in 100 Mile, St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Williams Lake, and St. Luke’s Anglican Church in Alexis Creek.

They were in rural family medicine in Washington and Alaska. Keith closed his family practice and retired in May.

He began his min-istry seminary in the mid-1990s and con-tinued half time as a doctor and worked the other half as a Chaplin in medical education.

Ordained in 2005, Keith worked for a few years with medical students in spirituality, ethics and humanities.

Kris has taught child-birth classes, has co-ordinated la leche (breast-feeding) groups and is an inter-nationally certified lactation consultant.

She has worked a lot with young fami-lies, dealing with moms and babies breast-feeding, par-enting and child care.

She has also worked at a master’s level in mental health, run a day care, and she has worked a lot in early childhood education, which was her first degree.

They enjoy the outdoors, including hiking and cycling, especially on their recumbent tandem bicycle.

They also enjoy kayaking, and are looking forward to exploring the local waterways in their 42-pound inflatable kayak.

“We wake up every morning and we are stunned we are here in such a beautiful place,” says Kris.

Noting her hus-band has family in British Columbia and

they have children and family in Seattle, Kris says this brings them closer their families.

Keith notes that as priests, they are teachers, mentors and it is a fellowship and their job is to help people find and use appropriate resources to find spirituality.

“We do all the reg-ular ‘priesty’ things; we baptize marry, and bury, that is our job.”

Kris says they find the people in 100 Mile very cheerful, happy

and helpful.Currently, they

are ministering at St. Timothy’s at 10:30 a.m. on alternate Sundays.

They oversee the morning-prayer ser-vice, followed by Bible study Tuesday mornings at 9 a.m. at the church and they are at the church or making pastoral visits all day and do pasto-ral visits as needed at other times during the week.

To contact the Rev. Keith and the Rev. Kris Dobyns, phone the church at 250-395-4241.

New clergy at St. Timothy’s church

Rev. Kristen and Rev. Doctor Keith Dobyns arrived from Richmond, Indiana to begin ministry at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church recently.

By Peter HartThe Cariboo has long

been noted for the inde-pendent free-thinkers who call it home.

They are people of strong will who readily carve out their own niche in what can be a rugged life, yet they will not let a neighbour go wanting or allow the community struggle when it is in their power to help.

Of the residents of Canim Lake, there is none more “Cariboo” than Hisako Arai.

Hisako was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1938, followed by a brother, Hideo, who was born in 1941. Her father owned a good business in the city, and the family thrived, at least until the evening of March 9, 1945.

That night 334 B-29 bombers dropped incen-diary devices amongst the wooden structures of the city, destroying one-quarter of it. The resulting firestorm claimed 100,000 lives and sent one million people in search of shelter, making the raid the single most destructive bomb attack in history.

With their home, busi-ness, and virtually all their

possessions gone, the fam-ily moved to the outskirts of the city into the cow shed of a former employ-ee. Hisako’s father died shortly thereafter, leaving her mother to scrabble for the family’s food and clothing.

“I know hunger,” Hisako says.

“It’s ingrained on my brain. We ate weeds from a river dyke. We grew up in hunger.”

These experiences imbued in her a steely will and a burning sense of social justice.

As the situation in Tokyo settled, her mother moved the family back into the city to find work. She poured all she had into Hisako’s schooling, determined her daughter have the best education she could manage.

Hisako went from lower school to the Tokyo Pharmacology University, but dropped out in 1961 after the second year, to marry her sweetheart who had just graduated in Applied Physics. Their first daughter was born in 1962, and a second in 1966.

The Vietnam War raged throughout those years.

Japan was used as a major staging area by American forces whose effect on the society was dramatic. The difficulties of that period became the trigger for an activism that became a hallmark of Hisako’s life.

“I stood at the train station with my sign chanting ‘Yankee Go Home!’ I became so loud that I was ‘black-balled’ by them. That’s when I learned all the good Joan Baez songs,” she adds with a smile.

“After that, we protest-ed the plans to build the first nuclear power plant in the country. I was cer-tainly right about that”.

Her husband came to Canada in 1966 as part of an engineering team when his firm won a con-tract to construct the mill

at Skookumchuck. One project led to another for the firm.

In 1968, the company brought their employees’ families to Canada, land-ing Hisako and the children in Cranbrook, giving her a first taste of British Columbia and its magnificent mountains.

With the last contract completed in 1969, the family moved back to Japan, but quickly missed the opportunities of Canada, she says.

“I did not want to leave in the first place. Japan is a man’s country. Canada is like a woman’s heaven.”

In 1970, they immi-grated to Canada and she became a citizen in 1977.

To make extra money for the children, Hisako returned to school to

retrain as a registered nurse. She started thetwo-year program at Douglas College in 1975, but failed the first year, struggling with the

English language.She took work as

a nurse’s aid for a year to improve her English,

SEPTEMBER 5, 2012 …B1

Hisako Arai: a woman of principle follows her dreams

Hiking in the mountains has always been one of Hisako’s favourite pastimes. She learned her mountain-eering skills as a teenager in Japan.

Hisako Arai was nine year old and her brother, Hideo Arai, was six when this photo was taken. The two children wearing clothes their mother made from old curtains and kimonos.

returned to first year studies and passed, only to falter again in the second year. Undaunted, she went back to work as a licensed practical nurse, and with the determination learned from her mother, doubled her efforts to master English.

She re-entered the second year and achieved her goal, graduating as a regis-tered nurse in 1982.

Hiking in moun-tains has always been a love for Hisako. She learned moun-taineering skills as a teenager, cutting her teeth in the Japanese Alps where she found exhilaration in the high wild places.

Arriving in Canada, it seemed she had found mountain heaven. Tweedsmuir Park became a focus of her travels, and then the lonely parts of the Chilcotin’s Coastal Range.

From time to time, she visited author Chris Czajkowski at her high-alpine retreat on an unnamed lake, now dubbed Lake Chris. She sometimes cared for the guests while Chris was away, or went off on her own, trekking and camping in the high alpine with her pack-dog Molson.

Hisako’s home in Coquitlam seemed too far from that beloved wilderness country, so she and her husband searched for a more local base from which Hisako could operate. That led to the 1999 purchase of her lake-side property with its dramatic view over Canim Lake’s blue waters eastwards to the snow-capped Trophy Mountains.

The home served as a temporary base for cross-country skiing and backpacking trips until she retired from nursing and took up permanent residence in 2003.

As it happened,

the local crusade to preserve the Forest Grove School from government cutbacks began in earnest just as Hisako settled in. Her instincts for social justice could not be denied.

She became heav-ily involved in the community’s effort, fund-raising, cam-paigning, and serving on the executive of the society organiz-ing the fight. Once the school’s contin-

ued existence was ensured, she began to assist in the classroom, teaching speech arts among other subjects.

That work continues to this day.

Along the way, there have been other crusades on behalf of

others. She led a fight for better disability payments for injured nurses and, more recently, she raised money for women’s relief organizations after the 2011 Japanese tsunami.

People involved with Hisako through the fight for the school describe her as an “amazing woman” whose contribution to

the preservation of the school was “outstand-ing and instrumental in keeping it going.”

Said another: “She has a very deep com-mitment to people and is tenacious in working for the chil-dren.”

As for Hisako, she just says: “I really love this community. People watch out for each other.”

HISTORY OF 100 MILE HOUSE and AREAOne Day at a Time documents the tremendous revolution that took place in the B.C. Interior’s forest industry three and four decades ago. In one way or another, Dave Ainsworth has had his hand in every aspect of this revolution. Dave is one of those people who knows how to put his vision into practice. It’s this tremendous resourcefulness we owe him credit for.I know of no other book that so accurately records the vital changes that have taken place in the woods and at the sawmills; it’s a record that will benefi t the whole industry.

While summer means down time for some local organiza-tions, people at the 100 Mile Performing Arts Society have been busy milling over ideas and perus-ing scripts for their annual spring theatre production.

After careful con-sideration and a lot of preliminary work, producer Jan Richmond says the troupe will be tak-ing audiences down the yellow brick road with their production of The Wizard of Oz.

The show will feature eight perfor-mances from Feb. 28 through March 2 and March 7-9.

This year, the

members will be wel-coming Nicole Weir as their new direc-tor. She’ll be filling the shoes of Marie Hooper who was with the company since

2006 when they per-formed The Princess and the Pea.

Auditions for TheWizard of Oz are being held on Sept. 12-13 from 6-8:30 p.m. at St.

Timothy’s Anglican Church.

People can choose which day suits them best and arrive prepared with a monologue they are

comfortable with and a piece of music they can sing.

A pianist will be available for accom-paniment, but must be provided with sheet music.

As an alternative, people can bring a CD and player, or sing a capella, Richmond explains.

“We’ll be looking for stage presence and how comfortable you are coming into a room with strang-ers and showing your stuff,” she says, add-ing many people do a piece they have per-formed before.

Callbacks will be held Sept. 14 for people who are being considered for a role.

It’s not known how many actors from last year’s pro-

duction of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forumwill be returning, Richmond notes, but they are eager to see new faces.

“I enjoy watching new people come in. They slink in the door, unsure of them-selves and then come bursting onto the stage at performance time and don’t want it to stop.”

Children are wel-come to audition but parents must com-mit themselves to the play as well and remain with their child throughout each rehearsal.

“We’ve been impressed with parents in past pro-ductions and many of them go on to help with the production

and become part of the family.”

Actors must be prepared to pay a refundable $20 dam-age deposit for the script and a $25 pro-duction fee, which helps to cover the cost of costumes.

R i c h m o n d applauds Weir for stepping up to the plate as director and encourages others to get involved.

“Every organiza-tion needs new blood or you don’t survive. We’re always looking for people to join in and not just on stage. Any interest will be accommodated.”

Anyone wishing more information can contact Richmond at 250-791-5477 or e-mail her at [email protected].

It’s hard to believe it is already September.

However, those cool nights, coloured leaves and Canada geese are confirma-tion prove fall is on its way to the Cariboo.

I don’t know about you, but I still have quite a few of those summertime projects that haven’t been checked off my to-do list, so we had bet-ter get going before we see the white stuff falling from the sky.

School is inStudents are back

in school this week, parents are breathing a sigh of relief, and everyone is getting

back in the groove for another year of edu-cation.

Check this column for regular updates and photographs from Horse Lake

Elementary School, as I often attend events to see what the chil-dren are up to.

Hey, kids! School is starting, and here is a little game to remind you how to ride

the bus safely. To play, you will need some buttons to use as game tokens and a die. Place the tokens on Start, choose a player to go fi rst and have them roll the die and move their token the number of spots on

the die. The fi rst person to reach the school is the winner.


In 1971, a new community hall was built in Forest Grove, and as a fundraiser, the hall committee decided to sell com-munity calendars.

When the hall was finished and bingo became the main source of funds, the calendar project was turned over to the Legion Ladies Auxiliary.

Pat Fitzel has been an auxiliary mem-ber for 51 years, and during that time, she served as president for three terms. Her present term in office started in 1997.

Pat has been co-ordinator for the calendar project for 10 years. She is assisted by Mary Stenerson, June Rislund, Marg Huber and Brenda Scott who represent different areas in and around Forest Grove.

The calendars feature birthdays, anniversaries and memorials. The cost is $10 for six dates and 10 cents for each additional date.

Advertising space can be purchased.

Proceeds from the calendars go to the annual seniors’ Christmas dinner. This year, the Ladies Auxiliary will hold

its 39th dinner.The calendars

provide us with an opportunity to acknowledge impor-tant days in our neighbours’ lives. To get your special days

on the 2013 calendars, call Pat at 250-395-1336 before the end of September.

Fall gardensOn Sept. 11 from

6:30 to 8 p.m., Ken Bourne will be at the Forest Grove Library to answer gardening questions and to talk about fall pruning, preserving seeds for a spring seed exchange and preparing your garden for winter.

Ken is well known for his practical, tried-and-true methods of planting and growing organic vegetables in the Cariboo. He has written gardening columns for various magazines and news-papers.

This is sure to be an enjoyable evening with an engaging speaker, input from local gardeners and a lot of useful tips to take home with you.

RecyclingPlease start saving

your bottles, cans, juice containers and other recyclables for a bottle drive to be held by the Forest Grove Elementary School at the end of September. A pick-up service will be available if you live outside the Grove.

Recyclables can also be dropped off in the bins in front of the school at any time.

The school’s recycling program provides funds for class trips and other expenses.

These are your neighbours, and they help ensure the Free Press offers regional coverage of the communities in the South Cariboo. Their names and contact numbers are published alongside their columns so call them when you have news, important information about upcoming events or neat stories to share with your community.Your community, your correspondents…

Gain access to the roof with a ladder. Don’t lean the ladder against a downspout or gutter, which can easily bend or break.

Remove leaves and twigs from gutters by hand or with a large spoon, a gutter scoop or a small garden trowel.

Wet down caked-on dirt, which can be diffi cult to remove without damaging the gutter itself, then remove it with the gutter scoop or trowel.

Put debris in a bucket or plastic trash bag placed on the roof or ladder. If you use a bag, you can just drop it when it’s full.

Check that the downspouts aren’t clogged. Use water to unclog your downspouts by placing a garden hose in the opening. But be gentle at fi rst; downspouts aren’t designed to withstand the same pressure as a house drain. If a plugged downspout can’t be cleared with a hose, use a small plumber’s snake or an unbent clothes hanger. Again, be gentle. Gutters are not as strong as house pipes.

Alternatively, use a leaf blower to clean the gutters; however, remember that you’ll be high up, often in awkward postures, and carrying a good-sized machine that not only is awkward to use but also can blind you with dust.

Use the hose to fl ush the gutters with water after cleaning. (This is also the best time to fi nd out if there are any leaks in the system.)


Gina Myhill-Jones is the guest artiste in Bridge Lake Library’s Community Showcase for September.

She moved here from Maple Ridge in 2009 and quickly became known in the local art world, with her glassworks displayed at Parkside Art Gallery and Bridge Creek Centre, as well as Station House Gallery in Williams Lake.

Gina says she only acquired her kilns and torches since moving here.

“There’s lots of equipment in a glass studio. It’s very com-plicated and can go in hundreds of directions, but I’m largely focusing on kiln-formed glass. My large kiln has a 21- by 42-inch chamber.

“I do glass-blow-

ing, too, where you sit at a desk with a torch and dip glass rods in and out of the flame to form beads

or figurative work. I like to work with colour, and my pieces are mostly practical or for adornment.”

Some of Gina’s work is “huge” like the life-sized gui-tar seen at the South Cariboo Garlic Festival, or four-foot high tree-shaped pieces.

Interesting replyIn response to an

inquiry by James Graff about a First Nations man named Modeste, Gordon Kellett wrote:

“I knew Modeste Boyce when I was young. He was a very nice man, good

to small boys like me. He was hard-working and quite indepen-dent.

“He and his wife, Minnie, who did not speak English, lived at the west end of the Canim Reserve near the road to Bob Lake, rather than in the main village.

“He always dressed like a ranch-er/trapper and she wore long, flowing skirts and blouses. Their granddaughter is Irene Charley who I believe still lives on the reserve.”

spent all her sum-mers at Sulphurous Lake from 1952 until the late ’70s.

There are big trout to be had

in Watch Lake. Reportedly a 10 pound fish was caught, and many more have been in the 5 pound range.

Barbara and Roger Lincez are hosts at Ace High Resort. Barbara says that the fish-ing is good at this quiet family resort.

She notes that their best selling flies are black and green Bowriver buggers.

She also suggests that various colours of a Crystal Flash can work well. These flies were catching fish in the 8 pound range last sum-mer. Lincez says that they are happy to point out the hot spots on the lake and what seems to be working best at any given time. The caddis hatch in July is worth noting.

Ace High Resort is geared towards f a m i l i e s , and they love it when

kids catch fish! They take pictures of the fish that kids catch, and post them on their website.

There are three resorts around the lake—Ace High Resort, Tall Timbers Resort, and Watch Lake Lodge. For more information about accommodations, call the South Cariboo Visitor Info

Centre at (250) 395-5353.

Note that a speed restriction is in place on Watch Lake (maximum 8 km/h).
