Marijuana laws go to provincial petition Referendum to follow if sufficient support shown Carole Rooney Free Press

Elections BC has approved an initiative petition that proposes eliminating RCMP enforcement of laws relating to marijuana use and possession. A draft bill, the Sensible Policing Act, proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. It would prohibit the

use of provincial police for this purpose, and require police to report to the Minister of Justice in detail for any actual use of its resources. The bill also proposes the province call upon the federal government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or exempt British Columbia to enable it to tax and regulate it similar to alcohol and tobacco. Elections BC deemed the initiative petition as legally valid, so if sufficient names are gathered, it will be followed by a

referendum. However, KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod says criminal justice is “very clearly” under federal jurisdiction in the Constitution. “Certainly our government has no intention of legalizing marijuana.” McLeod adds she has noted “significant research” in the past few months showing a “direct impact” of marijuana use on intelligence, memory and attention span, and “significant associations” See POT… pageA5

MacMillen’s murderer named The man responsible for the death of 16-yearold Colleen MacMillen, a teenager on the Highway of Tears list who was killed nearly 40 years ago, has been identified by police through a positive DNA match. At a Sept. 25 news conference, RCMP confirmed the man who killed MacMillen was Bobby Jack Fowler, an Oregon man who died in prison in 1996. He was convicted of kidnapping, attempted

rape and assault, and is linked to the deaths of two teens in that state. MacMillen was found murdered 46 kilometres south of Lac la Hache a month after she disappeared in August 1974. She was one of 17 girls and women on the Highway of Tears list of victims who vanished from highways 16, 97 and 5 between 1969 and 2006. Modern DNA testing methods were used when the E-PANA task force working on these unsolved deaths and disappearance for many years sent samples to Interpol. Police also have new evidence possibly linking Fowler to other victims on the list, including the 1973 murder of Pamela Darlington in Kamloops. MacMillen’s brother, Shawn, spoke at the news conference. “The MacMillen fami-

ly would like to thank the RCMP, and particularly the E-PANA investigators, for their success in identifying Colleen’s killer. “We are simply stunned, and very grateful for their hard work.” He noted it has been “a long way” to find answers, and while the individual will not have to stand trial for her death, the family is comforted by the fact Fowler died in prison, and can’t hurt anyone else. “Colleen was a lovely, sweet, innocent 16-yearold kid, and there are still no words in the world to express how terribly she was wronged. “To those remaining families whose daughters, sisters were also victims, we hope this means they may yet have their own answers.” This is the oldest case to be solved by DNA in the history of Interpol.

Political leaders oppose riding changes

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and Cariboo Regional District (CRD) chair Al Richmond have joined the list of those making presentations opposing proposed federal riding changes. Barnett will address the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia in Kamloops on Oct. 11. She express her dislike for the proposed changes that would see 100 Mile House, 108 Mile Ranch and Lac la Hache join the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon Riding. Barnett says she is bringing not just criticism for the idea, but also her suggestions of how the local riding changes might be prevented. “We can all go and say the Cariboo should not be split up, that it’s part of our history and our heritage and [so on], but I think you have to go with a solution.” Barnett says she understands the commission is able to deviate in assigned riding populations by 25 per cent in one direction or another, as long as the total numbers balance out across the province. The CRD Electoral Area G (108 Mile Ranch and Lac la Hache) population is 5,000, she notes, compared to the target for federal ridings of just fewer than 105,000, and the 115,000 in the current KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Riding. The commission is also charged with See RIDING… page A4

Abundant bears are on the prowl Carole Rooney Free Press

Local bear sightings are increasing as winter beckons and apples ripen. The 100 Mile House Conservation Officer Service is advising residents take precautions. Conservation Officer Colin Kravontka says sightings are on the rise across the region, both in and outside the municipal boundaries. Bears on Scott Road, Cariboo Trail, Highway 97 just south of 100 Mile and multiple sightings in Lac la Hache have been reported, but other sighting only circulate via rumours. Kravontka says the difficulty in following up on all of bear sightings is many of them go unreported to the conservation officers because witnesses fail to call them in to the RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277. Kravontka notes the RAPP number is the best and fastest line to route the information to the COs for follow-up, as investigations two days later or with second-hand informa-

He advises against leaving a message at the local office, as they don’t reach the COs as quickly. Attractants are the real issue, however, when it comes to problem bears, he explains. Most bears are now finding the berries are finished and are actively, even boldly, looking for food sources to tide them over their winter hibernation period. Fruit trees are one of the biggest food sources for

hungry bears and all fruit should be picked, he says, or better yet, don’t plant them. Even ornamental fruits, such as Mountain Ash berries, flowering cherries and crabapples are favoured by bears and may bring them into your yard. Pet food stored outside and bird feeders are also attractants, and Kravontka notes birds don’t need supplemental food in the fall. Don’t place garbage cans out for pickup until the last minute and store them inside a shed, which

is also a good place to store barbecues when they’re not in use. Keep both items as clean as possible, he adds, noting a bit of bleach in water is helpful for eradicating the trash smell. Both bears and cougars are out on the prowl, so Kravontka suggests people take precautions when they or their pets are outside. He asks everyone to call in all bear or cougar sightings personally to the RAPP line (1-877-952-7277) immediately, even if the animal isn’t behaving in a threatening manner. While urgent action may not be needed by the COs in some cases, Kravontka notes it is always useful in gathering data to determine when an animal’s behaviour is becoming problematic. Bears or cougars spotted near schools and bus stops, subdivisions, parks or other areas where children gather are especially important to report quickly, he says, adding neighbours will also appreciate a warning if a predator is lurking in the vicinity.

Mine proposal proceeds to the feds Environmental assessment process now underway by review panel Carole Rooney Free Press

Taseko Mines Ltd. submitted its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to the federal review panel on Sept. 20. The New Prosperity Mines gold-copper project will now progress to the final stages in the federal environmental assessment process.

It’s Kamloops for health care, for education at the university and for business.” Barnett says she will also point to the distance to visit an MP in Chilliwack being prohibitive for affected South Cariboo residents. Richmond presented the CRD’s views on the riding changes to the commission at a Sept. 17 public hearing held

in Prince George. The CRD also sent a detailed letter to the commission, he notes. “We just clearly said that in our area’s community of interest alone, by no way could you construe it [extending] as far as Chilliwack.” In a discussion regarding the mountain pine beetle epidemic, Richmond adds someone in Kamloops or Prince George would better understand the issues as compared to someone from Chilliwack. “When folks from

While he has no idea what their decision may be, Richmond says he is “optimistic” they heard what the CRD had to say, and he believes the commission has the tools to deal with it. “I got the impression they did understand what we were there to present.”

Local politicians ponder pot bill Carole Rooney Free Press

Sensible BC is calling upon the provincial government to pass the Sensible Policing Act. It would decriminalize cannabis possession for adults and redirect all police in the province from using any police resources for enforcing simple possession of cannabis. The draft bill will have no impact on any of the laws around cultivation, trafficking or possession for the purposes of trafficking, but it would work toward a legally regulated system for cannabis. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says anyone following Elections BC guidelines has the right to propose

Gary Young a legal initiative and adds she will be “interested” to see what happens. “I think it is a huge, huge issue.” Barnett explains she has “some concerns,” but won’t take a public stance on the issue until she sees the particulars of how the bill would be implemented and controlled. The local MLA

wants to know more about the intent of the initiative, and how it will work with the federal government and “our cross-border partners” in the United States. “How is this going to be controlled? What is the amount of cannabis a person can have? What is the legal limit in the body? There are all these things to be taken into consideration.” Barnett adds she believes the public will also want answers to these questions before making a decision. Cariboo-Chilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse says he “commends” Sensible BC for taking efforts to move the issue along by using the legallydefined tools of the democratic system to obtain a decision by

RCMP federal spokesperson Sgt. Duncan Pound says police will continue to enforce federal laws according to legislation. “RCMP’s role is to enforce the laws of Canada, so if and when they change, then our enforcement strategies will change. Canadians have the expectation that we will enforce the laws, and that’s our plan.” The bill also proposes that B.C. establish a commission to study aspects

to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. It would additionally make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol. The first item of debate at the Union of BC Municipalities conference this week was a resolution to call upon the province to decriminalize marijuana use, and research the regulation and taxation of the substance.

Cash for crowded classrooms dismissed Carole Rooney Free Press

Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers’ Association [CCTA] president Joan Erb says the province’s proposal to pay teachers cash for crowded classrooms likely won’t affect local teachers. The reason it won’t, she explains, is School District #27 (SD27) assistant superintendent Harj Manhas is ensuring teachers in the Cariboo-Chilcotin don’t face having more than 30 students in their classes. “[Manhas] has made it very clear to principals that there are to be no classes over 30, and with the Learning Improvement Fund

Harj Manhas [LIF], he’s got the money to back that demand.” It’s the only district in the province she has heard of where administrators have received this direction, Erb adds. “The CCTA is very pleased with Mr. Manhas’ approach in how the [LIF] will be

dispersed.” Manhas says all classes across the district currently remain under that size limit. “I have instructed my principals I don’t want to see any classes over 30 students.” He notes SD27 received a total of $678,942 from the LIF for 2012/13 school year, and of that, $84,868 must be spent on support staff for special education. “That was in the collective agreement with the union, and is about 12 per cent of the total.” The balance will be used toward providing enough teachers and aids to keep class sizes down, Manhas explains. “I developed a

template that was sent to all principals, and [they] were to meet with the staff and come up with a plan for what needs they had in their schools. [This is] because every school has their own unique needs.” The assistant superintendent then reviewed the plans and allocated the funds accordingly as he saw fit, and says that was successful. “Up to this point it’s been very positive. My conversations with [Erb] have been very positive regarding how this money has been implemented, and it went to the schools where they needed the assistance with the students.” The Ministry of

Education says it will pay teachers an extra $2,500 per year for each student over 30 taught in Grades 4–7 classrooms; and an extra $312 per student in some secondary school courses. However, Erb explains accepting “cash for kids” money leaves students lacking sufficient education resources and that is against the teachers’ code of ethics. Both of the key decision-making bodies of the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation - the Representative Assembly and the annual general meeting - have voted to reject the concept of more money for bigger classes.

PROSPERITY… from page A4 proposal, Taseko president and chief executive officer Russell Hallbauer says an additional project investment to preserve the lake and watershed is a foremost element in its new proposal. “We are committed to the responsible development of New Prosperity and will invest an additional $300 million to ensure the protection of Fish Lake and address concerns raised by the previous federal review panel in 2010.” This includes compensation plans to mitigate the potential harmful effects to fish habitat; water

management strategies to protect the aquatic ecology in Fish Lake and its watershed; seepage/runoff collection and monitoring systems for mine effluent, to control the discharge into fish habitat; and other actions. In its summary to the panel, Taseko notes the purpose of the project is to help fill both the predicted global shortage of copper concentrate and a current gap that exists between the production of gold and the demand for the precious metal. The EIS documents also portray the mine develop-

ment as a method to utilize a proven mineral reserve to “create value and opportunity for the people of British Columbia and Canada, and for the shareholders of Taseko.” The panel must review all new information, refer to previous findings and then reach a decision within 12 months. Meanwhile, many First Nations, environmentalists and other groups in the province continue to oppose the project, unconvinced all environmental concerns are satisfactorily addressed in the current proposal. Barnett maintains if the

Environmental Assessment Agency deems these concerns are adequately dealt with and approves the project, the mine will be “a great asset” to the long-term stability of the province. She says the revenue dollars for education, health and seniors care and other crucial services, as well as many jobs it will bring, make Taseko’s mine project west of Williams Lake a much-needed economic asset. “This is a wonderful project that will ensure the long-term sustainability of the Cariboo-Chilcotin.”

e are celebrating National Forest Week, Sept. 23-29, and, perhaps, this year more than previous years, we need to turn our full attention to our forested lands. This year’s theme is Healthy Forests – Healthy Communities, which is a poignant reminder of the current state of our forests. This summer, we learned, through a leaked document, that our mid-term timber supply was significantly less than most of us had thought possible. The culprit, of course, is the voracious mountain pine beetle that chewed its way across the province and destroyed vast stands of pine, which dominated our Interior forests. Despite the alarm being raised by groups that warned us we need to prepare for the mass destruction by the pine beetle, we did little in the way of planning to counter the eventuality we are experiencing now. We rushed to harvest as much of the beetleattacked wood to get as much money out of the standing dead as we could while it was still marketable. It resulted in a harvesting boom that saw everyone in the industry making a lot of money in a false economy. Now, the decade-old warnings have become reality and we are forced to change our ways. This summer, the Special Committee on Timber Supply toured the Interior to get input on how to best deal with the lack of mid-term fibre. In August, committee members released their report with recommendations to increase timber supply and get more value from the fibre that’s left in the forest. It is hoped the industry can be sustained in some form to soften the blow for small communities, such as 100 Mile House, that rely so heavily on a healthy forest industry to survive. Better utilization of the fibre that remains will definitely play a role in the search for sustainability, and it appears the formation of new partnerships will likely be necessary for survival. Careful planning will be needed and the BC Forest Service (BCFS), which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, will play a significant role. After managing and protecting our forests in this province for the past century, we hope the BCFS will be doing the same great job for the next 100 years.

Make better school food choices With the children back in school, parents are heading to the grocery store to stock up on lunch-box staples. They are confronted with choices on what sort of drinks to buy for their kids’ lunch. This often leads parents to opt for a soda or “real fruit drink,” a choice often justified with the words “everything in moderation.” The trouble is there is nothing moderate about a sugary drink that contains 10 teaspoons of sugar. It’s even worse to use this liquid candy to wash down the sweet dessert treat also tucked in the bag. Here’s what happens in the body when someone consumes 10 teaspoons of sugar in liquid format, cut with just enough phosphoric acid to keep it from tasting overly sweet. Within 10 minutes of consuming a sugar-sweetened beverage, the body mobilizes to deal with the assault. The pancreas pumps out insulin to break down the onslaught of sugar. The insulin kick-starts the liver, which then frantically starts turning sugar into fat. These fats are the same ones that are linked with the development of heart disease. Once the pancreas and liver have gotten the sugar mopped up, a “sugar crash” often follows. The body, which has been running on

TOM WARSHAWSKI

GUEST SHOT overdrive, has removed so much sugar from the body so quickly that the drinker is left with low blood sugar. As a result, they may feel left feeling exhausted, irritable, lightheaded and hungry. As dramatic as the immediate impact of consuming a sugar-sweetened beverage is, the effect of long-term consumption is worse – and severely underestimated. Even in individuals of normal weight, sugary drinks have been linked with the development of high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. The link with unhealthy weights is even stronger. Children who drink sugary drinks on a daily basis have a 60 per cent higher risk of becoming overweight or obese than do non consumers. Unfortunately, the majority of overweight children become overweight teenagers who grow up to become overweight adults. If current trends continue, by 2040 up to 70 per cent of Canadian adults aged 40 will either be overweight or obese. The longer the time a person carries an unhealthy weight, the greater the risk of illness.

Being overweight significantly increases the likelihood of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, arthritis, cancer and diabetes. The consequences are a diminished quality of life and an enormous burden for our provincial health-care system that already pays some $450 million for obesityrelated illnesses annually. So what can be done? For starters, families need to reevaluate their choices as they send their children back to school. By making an informed choice about the drink in their child’s lunchbox, parents are making a powerful contribution to their child’s long-term health. Sugary drinks are inexpensive, tasty and heavily marketed to children and youth. However, they are not a good choice for hydration. Water is the best beverage to quench thirst. We educate our children and youth to prepare them for a productive and healthy future, but education begins at home and by making wise lunch bag selections, parents help their children learn about healthy beverage choices for the school day and for life. Tom Warshawski is a pediatrician and chair of the Childhood Obesity Foundation.

Letters to the editor Talking to neighbours would be better

To the editor: I am writing this letter to the person who filed a noise complaint on Hunt Road. First of all, before filing a complaint with the 100 Mile House RCMP, make sure the kid you are complaining about belongs to the family, because in this case, it’s not our son. Secondly, think about if you are so perfect in not causing any disturbances, which might annoy neighbours, too. There are a lot of things that might annoy other neighbours. For example, there is lawn mowing every second day, leaf blowers, barking dogs, parties all night long, Sea-Doos and powerboats running up and down the lake, Harleys or trucks with cut off mufflers, and certain kinds of trees, which when they bloom, create a mess for weeks on your neighbours’ sundecks and houses, just to name a few things. A dirt bike is a motorized vehicle, like your car, and can be used for driving. For the noise a dirt bike makes, please complain to the manufacturer of the vehicle because it is the one that build them this way. We would have agreed with the complaint when this kid would go back and forth in our backyard daily for hours, but just using a dirt bike instead of a bicycle to visit friends, we do not agree. We would think in a small community like ours, one would have the courage to come over and talk about a small issue like that and not cowardly phone the police, which we think have more important things to do. We think a small community should still be a place where people can talk to their neighbours occasionally, and if there is something one feels disturbed about, to sit down over a coffee and talk about it in a civilized manner. Heidi Kellermeier Horse Lake

Tories promoting, protecting healthy living To the editor: I am writing regarding Dr. Hedy Fry’s letter, headlined Tories putting youth health at risk, on page A9 of your Sept. 12 edition. While I welcome Dr. Fry’s concern for the health of our children, her accusations that our government is doing nothing to promote healthy living could not be further from the truth. We took action against trans-fat foods with our Trans-Fat Monitoring Program. This program is reducing trans-fats by encouraging changes within the industry. Almost 75 per cent of prepackaged foods meet the ambitious targets we set. We’ve also taken an active role in combating childhood obesity through the creation of

the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit. This measure has been called, “an important catalyst to help children to be more active and healthy.” In fact, our strong record on promoting healthy living stands in stark contrast to Dr. Fry’s Liberal Party. While Dr. Fry was a member of the Liberal caucus in the mid-1990s, she and the government actually cut health-care transfers by 3.8 per cent. Canadians can have confidence our Conservative government is working tirelessly to reduce trans-fats, promote healthy living and protect our health care system.

Swapping sociology for socket sets

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark’s latest employment announcement set the tone for one of the big issues in the 2013 election. Flanked by aircraft technician students at BCIT in Burnaby, Clark announced a $75-million program to upgrade aging trade and technical school facilities and hire instructors. Furthermore, she did it with some pointed criticism of the career path chosen by many of today’s high school students. Clark introduced a student electrician, the first woman to win the senior technology education award at her secondary school who then went on to get a bachelor’s degree in English and sociology. No job, so she went to BCIT. Her message was clear. The government’s pre-election budget is going to shift priorities to the huge number of skilled trades jobs that are already going begging in the North. More students will get started in high school, instead of being subsidized to wander around and find themselves with an unfocused university degree that still leaves them in need of practical skills. Shop upgrades were announced for trades training in Prince George, Kelowna and Greater Victoria. There will be new student financial aid, but it will be tied to skill programs the economy needs now. With the government’s financial situation, you can bet sociology, women’s studies and the rest of the dead-end programs dear to the hearts of last year’s Occupy camp-

TOM FLETCHER

BC VIEWS ers will feel the pinch. The B.C. Liberal skills training push was partly inspired by last year’s “inequality” protest, after Dawson Creek Mayor Mike Bernier waded into the Occupy Vancouver squat to hand out business cards. They need cooks and labourers, as well as pipe fitters up there these days, and that’s before the B.C. gas patch goes into a huge expansion for Asian exports. A version of Kevin Falcon’s “welfare air” idea to move unemployed recipients north was included in last week’s announcement by Clark and her jobs czar, Pat Bell. Called “Job Match,” it’s a $2.9-million pilot program in the Peace region. It will deliver basic education and work boots for people in that region before anyone will be flown up from Nanaimo or Nelson. Cruising along at nearly 50 per cent in the polls, the NDP have also put a heavy emphasis on post-sec-

ondary education. However, they’re still playing to the urban Occupy crowd, with a promise of a tax on banks to fund student grants. Instead of providing loan relief after successful completion, they’re going to hand out money at the front end, just like they did in my student days. My experience as a student, a jobseeker and a parent is that free money encourages aimless study, and the selection of courses that are appealing rather than safe investments. We already have far too much of that, and I think most students today would be better off with a bigger debt and a wellpaying job. As the new trades plan was being rolled out (and mostly ignored by the Vancouver media), former finance minister Colin Hansen announced he’s retiring. It was Hansen who started the push for skills training back in 2008, emphasizing that there will be a million new jobs open by 2019, 600,000 of them due to retiring baby boomers. He made a sales trip to snowy Toronto to launch advertising to lure people to British Columbia. That effort is being revised with a series of interprovincial and international trips, because even if all 650,000 secondary school students graduate and go to work in B.C. from now to 2019, it won’t be enough to fill all the jobs on the horizon.

Clarifying Town Square misinformation To the editor: I am writing this letter to clarify misinformation about the Town Square. I have heard and read stories regarding the “gift” of a Town Square that Rotary thought it would present to the District of 100 Mile, as other Rotary Clubs have done around the world. It seems some feathers have been ruffled and that is not what Rotary is about. Rotary never intended, nor ever intends, to be involved in something that does not have support by the local businesses and residents of 100 Mile. We are an organization here to “help not hinder.” The Rotary Club of 100 Mile House was the starting force behind the Creekside Seniors Activity Centre, the Horse Lake Youth Training Centre, the Lumberman’s

display at the South Cariboo Visitor Centre. We have been involved with ball fields, soccer fields and many other community facilities. A Town Square does fit under the umbrella of what Rotary has been previously involved with in 100 Mile. Public information meetings had small attendance, but concerns brought up were addressed and mitigated. There are no more parking issues beyond what already exists. Public washrooms are a problem now, with a very easy fix, and nothing to do with a town square. Freight access was dealt with, as was access to another business on Third Street and Cedar Avenue. Council did not work with us at all. We were forbidden to speak at the meeting where we requested to

be on the agenda. Council slammed the door shut, it is certainly not “wide open” as Mayor Mitch Campsell states. There was no discussion at all with them at any time. There is a problem when two businesses can outweigh 50. There is a bigger problem when information packages get lost in administration and don’t even get included in the decision. Why council has denied the Town Square on Third and believes it could have the same effect for downtown business if located somewhere else is still a mystery to me. This letter and these comments are completely my own and not those of Rotary or its other members. Maureen Pinkney 100 Mile House

Fisher mauled by Grizzly HOUSTON -Last Tuesday (Sept. 18) evening, an angler from Anchorage, Alaska was mauled by a grizzly bear along the Morice River. The attack occurred around 7:30 p.m., 23 kilometres up the Morice River Road, as the fisher was preparing to leave the area, Supervisor for the Bulkley Stikine Zone with the Conservation Officer Service Kevin Nixon said. “It was a very serious attack,” Nixon said. “He suffered severe injuries to his face and many puncture wounds and claw wounds to the upper torso.” Despite the severity of his injuries, the fisher crawled approximately 300 metre back to his vehicle along the Morice River Road where he was spotted by a woman driving by who, upon noticing the wounds, called emergency services. The victim was taken by ambulance to the hospital in Smithers, stabilized and medevaced to Vancouver General Hospital. Based on what Nixon described as, “difficult communication,” the angler believes he surprised a grizzly sow with at least one cub.

Crotch rocket brought to a halt KELOWNA - RCMP have apprehended a man after he was clocked driving a Suzuki motorcycle at 263 km/h on the Okanagan Connector Hwy 5A near Peachland Friday (Sept. 21) afternoon. The driver was reportedly wearing black riding gear and a black helmet. The bike was blue and white in colour. The driver may be the same person who was observed driving at extreme speeds up the Connector toward Merritt earlier in the day. Unconfirmed reports have him eluding the RCMP at that time. On the return trip he wasn’t so lucky and was stopped on the Connector near Trepanier Road above Peachland. Initial reports have him being charged with travelling at excessive speed and that the bike was towed.

On Sept. 23, 100 Mile RCMP received a report of another break-and-enter to the Interlakes Store located at the Interlakes Corner on Highway 24.

one was located at the scene. While clearing the property, investigators discovered indications of a marijuana grow-op in an adjacent structure. Officers overnight secured the property and a search warrant was sought. On Sept. 22, a team of officers executed a search warrant for the property under the Controlled Drug

& Substances Act. A total of 912 mature marijuana plants, three firearms and marijuana production equipment were seized from this commercial-style marijuana grow-op. No people have been arrested as of this time. The investigation into this matter is continuing. Needed a tow Just before 1 p.m.

on Sept. 19, the driver of a Hyundai Accent was turning out of the Chevron gas station onto the northbound lane of Highway 97. The driver was not paying attention to the northbound traffic. The driver of a tow truck saw the Hyundai driver was not going to stop prior to entering the highway and attempted to brake and avoid the

collision. The driver of the car impacted the side of the tow truck. The Hyundai received extensive damage, but there was no damage to the tow truck. The driver of the Hyundai was issued a violation ticket for causing the collision. Excessive speeds There were two drivers stopped

for excessive speeding on Highway 97 south of 100 Mile House. The speeds ranged from 48 to 53 km/h over the posted speed limit and both drivers were from the Lower Mainland. The drivers were charged under the Motor Vehicle Act and their vehicles were towed and impounded for seven days.

The driver of the motorcycle sustained fractures to his ribs and leg. He was found in the ditch on the south side of the road. A dark coloured truck was seen leaving the scene immediately following the collision. The Supra came to rest in the ditch after the collision with the motorcycle. It is believed the individual steering the Supra was unable to control the vehicle when the tow vehicle drove at increasing speeds. Martel, 66, was the driver of the tow vehicle and failed to attend his last court date. He is believed to be living in the 100 Mile House/Williams Lake area.

Smoky skies in the British Columbia Interior are the result of several large forest fires, including the Entiako Lake fire in the northeast corner of Tweedsmuir Park. The smoke from these fires has drifted down the coast to Bella Coola, east to Prince George and as far south as Kamloops. The Entiako Lake fire is currently estimated at 6,120

hectares. It is a “modified response” fire, which means that the fire is being allowed to burn and expand in some areas to help restore ecosystems where no resources are at risk. However, the Wildfire Management Branch is taking care to protect any nearby values. Fire crews have safeguarded several cabins by setting up structure protection units (industrial

sprinklers) and are currently working to stop the fire’s spread toward the east. They have widened an existing road and will be burning off forest fuels between the road and the main fire to block its advance. Firefighting crews, aircraft and heavy equipment will be on site to ensure the fire does not spread past the fireguards that crews have established.

Numerous options, which have been under development since April, will also be presented for public input for the first time. Parents, local government leaders,

provincial and community organizations and others interested in education are encouraged to turn out to the 100 Mile House Junior Secondary gymnasium on Oct. 4, starting at 6:30 p.m. The Initial Options Report was released by the board at its Sept. 25 meeting in Williams Lake, and will be presented for discussion. Some potential changes are in response to a new direction towards personalized learning the Ministry

of Education has mandated to school districts, while others are budgetrelated and aimed at aspects, such as efficient use of space when compared to current enrolment numbers. Whether for efficient fiscal management or for progressive education, many changes are still in the planning stages, SD 27 encourages folks to take this opportunity to find out more and express their views on the direction of local education.

What is the amount of the repeat failure to report income penalty. A. Canada revenue agency has all sorts of penalties it seems. A common one is the repeat failure to report income penalty. If you failed to report an amount on your current year income tax return, and you also failed to report an amount on the prior 3 years income tax returns, you may have to pay both a federal and provincial repeat penalty. The federal and provincial penalties are each 10% of the amount of income you failed to report on your income tax return. However, if you feel you may fall into this category you can seek relief by voluntarily disclosure. That is, Canada Revenue agency may waive the penalty if you voluntarily tell them about the amount you failed to report or the amount of any overstatement of tax credits.

Q: My high-efficiency furnace seems to be running a lot, but my house isn’t warming up. A: Continuing to run a poorly-heating furnace can burn out parts and cause costly repairs, but there are several common causes you can take care of without calling a technician: Are your furnace filters clean? Dirty filters prevent air from moving through the system, causing the furnace to overheat and the burners to shut off. (The noise you hear is the fan working to cool down the furnace.) If changing the filters doesn’t solve the problem, ensure that the fresh air intake pipe on the outside of the house is clear. If your furnace doesn’t have enough air coming into it, it will only fire on low, providing inadequate heating. You can also check to see if the external drain hoses are draining properly. Clogged drain hoses inhibit the draft through the furnace, which also causes the furnace to run at a low rate.

Q: I’m thinking of buying a used BELL satellite receiver. What do I need to know? A: The price of a used satellite receiver can seem much more attractive than that of a new one, however there are several factors to consider before making your decision. For starters, you need to make sure the receiver and remote work, since you’ll be buying a unit with no warranty. This can be done by hooking it up to a satellite and checking to see that the signal registers properly – a new remote is $50. If the receiver is one with an external “smart card” you need to make sure that the card is current. If it’s out of date, it’ll cost approximately $70 for a new card. Lastly, the old owner must call BELL and authorize the transfer of the equipment into your name. This transfer can only be done if the original account has no outstanding balance. I would recommend that if you are already a BELL TV customer and want to add a receiver to your account, then if you know and trust the person you are buying from, then go ahead with the purchase. However, if you’re looking to switch your TV service then brand new is the way to go. Come into the store and ask us how to get a complete BELL TV system, including installation for better than free!

Q: A:

What is a “High Ratio Mortgage”?

A “High Ratio Mortgage” is a mortgage where the borrower is contributing less than 20% of the value of the property as the downpayment. The minimum downpayment required is 5% of the property value. If you can’t afford the 20% downpayment for a conventional mortgage, mortgage default insurance will be required under the Bank Act Law. You will pay a premium that will be added into your mortgage, sometimes referred to as CMHC insurance premiums or Genworth insurance premiums. Lenders rely on mortgage default insurance to protect themselves from ﬁnancial losses in case a loan is not repaid. Because lenders have this protection, they can offer loans with very small downpayments, provided credit requirements are met. Call me for advice!!!

Q: TFSA or RRSP? Which is better for retirement savings? A: There is no easy answer to this question. TFSAs provide a valuable option for retirement planning, but your situation will determine whether they should be used in preference to an RRSP. There are groups of people to whom TFSAs will clearly be a better choice than RRSPs; here a three of them; 1. Pension plan members 2. Modest income earners 3. Canadians with no earned income On the other hand, there are also people for whom an RRSP is the better choice than a TFSA. A couple examples are; If you expect to be taxed at lower rate after retirement. If you have no company pension.

Q: Do I need a will? A: Only if there is a chance that you might die some day. If not, don’t waste your time doing one. Clients often explain to lawyers that they don’t really need a will because “after all, when I die, it will all go to my spouse and then when he/ she dies, it will go to the kids.” Wrong! In fact, if you have both a spouse and children, when you die, your spouse and children will share your estate. For many, that result could be disastrous. When you die, there is a decent chance that your spouse will no longer have an income - and will need every penny you can give to him or her. A will can prevent the problems which might result if your spouse is forced to share your estate with your children. Another thing you can do in your will is name someone to sell your house and investments - and distribute the proceeds as your will directs. That way, there’s a better chance that this task will be done properly. Do you need a will? Probably. Article written by Centennial Law Corp. (Douglas E. Dent)

My computer has a different Anti-Virus program that I didn’t install and it now tells me I have a whole bunch of virus infections and won’t let me do anything else. Where did this come from?

This is a Fake Antivirus program sometimes also known as a Rogue Security Software or ‘Scareware.’ These are infections and are not real anti-virus programs. They are sometimes called Platinum Security, Windows 360, Live Security Platinum, etc. These programs can infect your computer when you visit an infected web site. You will see a pop-up warning you that your system may be infected and will give you the option to ‘continue’ or ‘scan’ as well as the usual ‘cancel’ button. In most cases, pressing any button on the pop-up will install the infection. These pop-ups need to be closed with the red X in the top right of the window. You can also receive the infection when you install many free online toolbars, video or audio codecs, or system speed-up tools. Once infected, the computer needs to be cleaned. This requires that the hard disk be removed and not booted into Windows, so that it can be aggressively scanned to remove the infection. Then some routine cleanup after booting the computer back into Windows removed the ﬁnal traces of the fake anti-virus and prevents it from reinfecting. Gold Rush Technologies can remove these infections and clean your PC so that you are back up and running!

Do I need to let my Broker know if the occupancy of my home changes?

A: Yes you do. You can purchase insurance policies for all different kinds of occupancy. If you go away on a vacation, that does not mean that your home is vacant. When you go away, you should always turn your water off and drain the lines, and also have someone check your home every 2-3 days. Remember to have your driveway and walkways cleared from snow if you go away in the winter. It is wise to let your Broker know how long you will be away for and who will be checking your home. If you decide to rent your home, you need to let your broker know right away so that your policy can be amended. The same applies if you decide to move away with your belongings and leave the home vacant. Please remember that your home must be insured properly in the event of a loss. Any questions, please give us a call and we would be happy to explain this to you in more detail.

Support revives memorial garden Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Students at Mile 108 Elementary School were welcomed back after summer break with a peaceful and reflective outdoor space to enjoy. It’s a patch of garden originally dedicated as a memorial to former students who have passed away. Last spring, it was overrun with thistles and other weeds, so members of the school’s garden club, which is led by Darrell Menduk and Monique Corno of Rustic Landscapes, cleaned it up and planted flowers

donated by a local gardening enthusiast. Many other donations came from local businesses and the once lonely corner became a beautiful space. During the summer, Menduk and Corno watered and weeded the garden and also installed landscape fabric, bark mulch and a stone pathway, which welcomes children to walk through the garden. “The outpouring of support towards this project was wonderful,” says Corno. The garden club will maintain the garden throughout the school year.

NDP lead over liberals narrows in new poll By Tom Fletcher Black Press

The NDP and B.C. Liberals pitched what they hope are popular new policies last week, as a new poll showed the governing party recovering a little of the ground it has lost to the Opposition. The B.C. NDP still has a commanding lead in the latest of a series of Angus Reid Public Opinion polls, with 46 per cent intending to vote for them, down three per cent since January. That three per cent swung to the B.C. Liberals, bringing them back to 25 per cent support from historic lows. The B.C. Conservatives held steady at 19 per cent, and the British Columbia Green Party received eight per cent support, down one from January’s survey.

Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Minister Mary Polak announced tolls on the new Port Mann Bridge will begin at $1.50 when the bridge opens in December. Preliminary estimates had the toll at $3 per crossing, and the B.C. Liberal government signalled in August it would offer a reduction for the first year of operation, while the bridge is functioning with eight of 10 lanes. Polak denied the one-year discount was designed to take the sting out of tolling a major crossing for Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, six months before an election. She said the discount is to encourage people to register and take advantage of the discount for an entire year. NDP leader Adrian Dix and agriculture critic Lana Popham

NEW FOR FALL!

called for new measures to assist the craft distillery industry in B.C. Dix called for the Liquor Distribution

Branch markup to be reduced from 170 per cent to 129 per cent for “artisan” distilleries, defined as

producing less than 50,000 litres a year using at least 50 per cent local agriculture products.

PUBLIC NOTICE

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, November 19, 2012 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, February 18, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the Province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Trustee departs School District #27 Carole Rooney Free Press

School District #27 (SD27) 100 Mile House Trustee Pattie Baker resigned effective Sept. 1.

Pattie Baker In a letter to SD27 secretary-treasurer Bonnie Roller, Baker advised she had accepted employment in another province, and would no longer be available to serve

Above all, [it] has allowed me to be part of one of the most exciting and interesting group of individuals I am sure I will ever have the pleasure to meet.”

Pattie Baker

on the SD27 school board. Baker, who was also board vice-chair at the time of her resignation, recently indicated she is moving on to an education position in Manitoba. Before departing, she said serving as trustee has been a valuable experience that has enhanced her understanding of politics and her appreciation of the complexity of public education. “Above all, [it] has allowed me to be part of one of the most exciting and

interesting group of individuals I am sure I will ever have the pleasure to meet. “Although I will miss being involved, I know this board will continue to strive to provide the best education for each and every child within the district, will honour teachers, value diversity and respect the Cariboo-Chilcotin lifestyle.” School board chair Will Van Osch said trustee representation is not in jeopardy as others will fill the role until a byelection for 100 Mile House,

which will be called shortly. “Although the board will miss Ms. Baker ’s valuable input and experience, I would like to remind the community all trustees are available to the public to hear any ideas and concerns, no matter from which zone they were elected. “Trustee [Tanya] Guenther and I, elected in neighbouring zones, have committed to making ourselves available to the community during this time that the Zone 3 trusteeship is vacant.” Baker was principal at the Cariboo Christian School for many years before it was closed

last January. She was also instrumental in the development of

the subsequent 100 Mile Community Christian School, which brought the

displaced students through to the end of the past school year, before it also closed.

sauté the garlic over a medium heat until fragrant and a nice caramelized colour. Set aside to cool. Lightly wipe down frying pan to remove any stray bits of garlic. 2) Prepare the beef, ensuring each is even and the right size, pounding to make the recommended sized rounds. Blot each with a paper towel and stack on a

plate near your work space. 3) Combine 3/4 of the garlic with the cream cheese and blend well.

4) Blend the rice flour and cornstarch in a shallow dish for rolling, and season with salt and pepper. 5) Construct the rolls by laying a beef round on a plate or board. Make sure the beef is slightly dry. Spread 1/8 of the

Allow the garlic to warm through, and then splash with the red wine to deglaze the pan. Cover for a minute or two to allow the sauce to thicken, and add more wine and salt and pepper as needed to make a perfect sauce. 10) Serve two rolls per person, drizzled with the sauce and garnished with the oregano sprigs.

Add salt and pepper to taste. 6) To roll, bring up the bottom (nearest you) 2 inches and fold in the sides, tucking it all in tightly. Continue rolling, turning in and tucking to completely enclose and seal the roll. You may have to compress the roll for a tight seal on the filling and a uniform shape. You may want to secure your rolls with toothpicks or butcher’s twine to keep everything together while cooking. When you finish one, set it in the fridge and continue rolling until all are completed. Dredge each in the flour/starch mixture and set on a plate near your skillet.

Community forest grows local economy COUNTRY TIRE Carole Rooney Free Press

The third year of harvesting is now underway at the 100 Mile House Community Forest. District of 100 Mile House Councillor Bill Hadden says the operation is running smoothly and efficiently, and will continue through the fall. The benefits are spread around the community in several ways, he explains, by contributing to the local economy, feeding the local mill to help maintain jobs, and projecting a source of funds to the municipality through compensation for the timber value, he notes. It is a “fair deal”

and it is all done in a sustainable manner, he adds. “In the last year, we’ve changed our focus a bit, and we went for fuel management-type blocks.” In 50 years, Hadden explains,

there will be more harvestable timber available through the healthy new growth in the forest. The district owns the community forest through its 100 Mile Development Corporation. The area it cov-

ers includes parts of Horse Lake Road near Mahood Lake Road and then, roughly, along Highway 24 through Lone Butte and Highway 97 and east to the Forest Grove and Drewry Lake roads, he says, although not in one

Timber supply shortfall revealed in report Carole Rooney Free Press

Forests make up nearly two-thirds of the land base in British Columbia and are an important economic, social and environmental resource in the province, affecting the lives of a great many of its residents.

FORESTS… from page A21 It’s all about fuel management, maintaining fences, and even ensuring workplace safety by removing hazard trees, he explains. “What we’re trying to do is get rid of fuel along the major transportation corridors. Because there’s a thousand things that can happen [to start wildfires]; the biggest one is cigarettes, of course.” There are active blocks now, as well as proposed blocks that will be taking out trees along fence lines, he adds. West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. senior planning forester Mark Runge says it has a “good partnership” with the municipality. “[It] involves us doing the up-front costs and development, and all the reforestation, and the municipality gets the benefits, without much risk.” All of the harvested wood goes to the local mills, he adds. “The whole idea behind it was to provide a secure timber source for the mills that provide the jobs and the economy of the 100 Mile community.” Furthering the local benefits, Runge notes West Fraser hired Canim Lake Band’s Teniye Logging Ltd. for the

harvesting operations that are underway, and Montane Forest Consultants Ltd. for the consulting work. “We make sure we deal with any of the issues with the ranchers, and the people with trails and [so on].” There is a legal requirement to contact Crown tenure-holders, such as for rangeland or government-listed trails, he says, but other users may be found along the way. “They let us know what particular structures they would like put in place, such as fences or cattle guards.” The operations underway are “clear-cut with reserves,” which leave green patches of mature and young fir trees between the logged, bare spaces of primarily beetlekilled pines, Runge notes. “We’re going to start with a new crop of new trees. There isn’t enough to do a real select cut; it’s dead pines, so that’s the prime focus here.” West Fraser continues to cut lumber from the pine beetle wood, while non-saw log fibre is redirected to the local Ainsworth Engineered Canada LP facility, he explains. “We have a fibre flow agreement with Ainsworth,

so probably 15 per cent of this wood from the dead pine will end up at the OSB plant. It’s only the small, deformed logs that we send there.” Once the dead pine is harvested, Hadden notes that like all area-based tenure holders, they will recalculate their own, lower annual allowable cut (AAC) according to criteria, before sign-off by the Ministry of Forests. “You wouldn’t go up. But there’s growth and yield information, there’s standing compositions ... one of the bigger impacts of course is old-growth management areas and mule deer wintering range.” It’s current 20,000 cubic metres AAC expires Dec. 31, he explains. Hadden notes the 100 Mile House Community Forest covers 9,800 hectares timber harvesting land base within a 20,000 ha border. “This is what community forests are really all about; it’s retaining wood, retaining people. Some communities have nothing but a community forest, and that is almost what is keeping those communities alive. “I’m pretty proud of what we’re doing here.”

Great Summer’s End Dinner enjoyed by all NORTH GREEN/ WATCH LAKE GISELE POLISENO 250-395-9082 ggpoliseno@gmail.com

The Watch Lake-Green Lake Community Association (WLGLCA) Summer’s End Dinner on Sept. 1 at the Watch Lake Community Hall was a great success. Fifty-three diners enjoyed a marvellous roast beef on the bun feast. Thank you to

all the chefs involved in making salads, pies and roasting the beef. The silent auction saw some lively competition on a lawn mower, a Rod Gott painting and a laser level. The auction made $749. The money raised will go towards the purchase of new tables and chairs for the community hall. Thank you to all our donators and supporters. Aspecial thank-you goes to an unexpected cash donor who just dropped in to see what was going on and only had a cup

of coffee. He liked what he saw and said he would be back for future events. Eleanor Bulman sends a big thankyou to all who helped do the setup and did the final clean up for the fun event. Christmas lights The name of the company that let the WLGLCA use their bucket truck for putting up Christmas lights was Falcon Equipment Ltd. and it was operated by Terry Friess. Many thanks as it made the job a whole lot easier to do. Compliments were

TIMBER… from page A22 or 15 years; it’s about ‘what is it that we can do to minimize the impact in the mid-term harvest supply,’ but making it sustainable for the communities and the industry.” Prior to the pine-beetle infestation, the annual allowable cut (AAC) for the 100 Mile House Timber Supply Area (TSA) was at about 1.5 million cubic metres (m3) a year, Rustad notes. The current uplift is about two million m3, he explains, but it’s projected to decrease to about 670,000 cu3 when the mid-term supply point is reached. “That means a drop of

about 50 per cent from where it was pre-pine beetle. That 670,000 c3 represent just the green wood, [not] using any of the dead pine.” Rustad explains the shortterm timber supply includes the remaining cleanup of the pine beetle-killed trees, while preserving as much green wood as possible for the midterm. Then the mid-term timber supply must support the industry for about the next 35-55 years, until forest regeneration kicks in with marketable, new growth timber and the AAC begins to increase again for the long-

term supply. “In the [hardest hit] Lakes TSA, we’re looking at two or three years before we’re going down in the pine. In the Quesnel area, and similar areas ... it might be a little longer shelf life. Here [in 100 Mile House], I think the projection is for 10 years. “But that could happen a little bit quicker if companies say, ‘we no longer can operate there,’ or it could happen quite a bit later if we find the wood is still standing and companies can still operate in it.” Rustad says he remains “optimistic” about the future of the forest industry.

Take Back the Night slated for Oct. 4 By Karen Beresford Area women, men and youth are invited to participate in the annual Take Back the Night march in 100 Mile House on Oct. 4. The march will muster at the 100 Mile Community Hall, starting with drumming by the Canim Lake Band members at 6 p.m. This will be followed by a march through the downtown core to the South Cariboo Business Centre’s conference room. This event is our opportunity to teach our daughters, friends, mothers and everyone to speak out against the violence that can happen after dark to anyone. There are places where women are not allowed out after dark. The ability to walk somewhere is a fundamental piece of our freedom. Originally called Reclaim the Night when Take Back the Night marches started in Belgium in 1976,

Karen Beresford the peaceful protests have been held throughout the world to bring awareness and to demand the right to move freely about our communities day and night. Historically, these marches and vigils were women only; now, however, we recognize men are our friends, fathers, husbands, brothers and sons. We are also aware that men can experience the same kind of violence as women. So, we invite everyone to join and support us in our march to end violence in our community and around

the world. This year, we march with Sisters in Spirit to bring attention to the missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls across Canada. In 2009, the United Nations brought Canada to task for the failure of law enforcement agencies to deal with the disappearance and murders of Aboriginal women and girls. Currently, there are almost 600 missing or murdered aboriginal women in Canada; the majority of these come from British Columbia. We need to speak loudly for them, as they can no longer speak. We must “Take Back the Night,

Races help build local NTERTAINMENT mountain biking culture Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

It was clear sailing for the Stormrider Race Series mountain bike event held last weekend in the South Cariboo. The event was hosted jointly by the Hun City Mountain Bike Club and the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium in sunny and warm conditions. Day 1 (Sept. 22) saw the crosscountry races held on the 108 Trail Network, with the start and end at The Hills Health Ranch. Riders completed a 14-kilometre loop, which followed a fast and flowing single-track course. Registration for that was low at 11, but according to Steve Law, one of the key organizers, it was to be expected. “You don’t get the younger riders entering that one. The demographic for crosscountry is typically 40-plus [years]. The kids are more interested in the fast and furious downhill.” First place in Men’s Elite

went to Mike Winkel and the winner in the Men’s Recreation race was Peter Swann of 100 Mile House. Melissa Johnston of 100 Mile House won the Women’s Elite event and Pauline Robinson took the Women’s Recreation race. Downhill racing on Sept. 23 took place on the Stormrider Downhill course at the 99 Mile Trail Network with 24 riders tackling a three-kilometre course. Landon Pinette took first place in the Men’s Elite class and 100 Mile House rider Adrian Angus finished fourth. In the Men’s Recreation event, it was Sean O’Flaherty in first place, and in Junior Men’s, Mason Seaward was the winner. The Women’s Elite category win went to Johnston and the Women’s Junior winner was Alexandra Hamm. In the Women’s Recreation event, Karen Bernardy was the winner and Jodie Saville of 100 Mile House was second. The Cariboo class for last-

minute registrants saw Renato Klacer take the win. Local racers included Connor Runge in third place, Jock Saville in fourth, Peter Swann in fifth, Nigel Swann in eighth and Nelson Swann in ninth. Following the downhill race, competitors were invited to a barbecue prepared by the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House in the skills park at the bottom of the course. Law says he got a lot of good feedback about the races. “People say they will come back again and bring friends. I’m really excited about next year. We have a bunch of different things to try.” He adds they would like to see more of the masses compete next year and assures the series is not just for elite riders. “The downhill course is a bit more of a gentler course and so is the cross-country. It’s easier and less technical than a lot of other ones. Part of our goal is to promote mountain biking and the earlier we get kids involved, the better.”

Melissa Johnston led the way in the Women’s Elite division of both the cross-country and downhill races of the Stormrider Race Series mountain bike event.

The Cariboo Ryder Cup was a family reunion of sorts for a 12-member team from the 108 Golf Resort Men’s Night pool of talent. The annual 54-hole tournament was held Sept. 15-16 at the Williams Lake Golf & Tennis Club, with teams from Williams Lake, Prince George and Quesnel also competing. The 108 team placed third, behind Prince George and the first place Williams Lake team. Last year’s winner, Quesnel, was fourth. Team 108 members included Bill Harris, Andy Wahnschaff, Jim Laird, Shane Wilkie, Jeff Kendy, Matt McNeil, John McNeil, George McGibbon, Jay Scott, Rob Douglas, Chris Stevens and Met Boyson.

It’s a social and we get to play with a different group of players that we haven’t seen for a year.”

Bill Harris Harris says it’s an event they look forward to every year. “It’s a social and we get to play with a different group of players that we haven’t seen for a year.” He adds great weather and a well-maintained golf course added to make it a good event. Next year the Ryder Cup comes to the 108 golf course and Harris says it’s a great tournament to host. “Everyone looks forward to it because the golf course, accommodations and food are all in the same place. You don’t have to drive anywhere.”

100 Mile House soccer field dedicated as the Dylan Castonguay Memorial Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

One of two remaining unnamed fields at the 100 Mile Soccer Park has a name. The field previously known as the U8 A field was recently dedicated as the Dylan Castonguay Memorial Field as a tribute to Dylan, who passed away in 2000 at the age of 15. His family owns 100 Mile Ranch. When the District of 100 Mile House granted land to the 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association (OMHSA) for the development of a soccer park, there

was no public access to the property. 100 Mile Ranch granted the club an easement for access and for parking. Dylan’s mother, Marina Cecil, who is an owner of the ranch, says it meant a

lot to her family to see the sign with Dylan’s name on it installed at the park. “Dylan played soccer for years locally and was a pretty good little player. At that time, all soccer was played on school

fields.” OMHSA sponsorship director Werner Heine says the club has always wanted to show 100 Mile Ranch its appreciation for granting the access and noted the field has been

referred to as the Dylan Castonguay Memorial Field since the beginning of the 2012 season. The field currently known as the U8 B field is the only one of six that remains without a sponsor.

Warm weather causes rescheduling of Lac la Hache Tomahawks tryouts Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Warm weather and sloppy conditions had hockey players heading north in search of solid ice last weekend. One of three tryout sessions for the Lac la Hache Tomahawks Central Interior Hockey League senior menâ€™s hockey team, which was scheduled to be held Sept. 22-23 at Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena in Lac la Hache, had to be moved to Williams Lake due to poor ice conditions. Coach Al Navrot says warm weather was too much for the ice-making capabili-

KidSport here to help local youth KidSport is a non-profit organization, which works to eliminate the financial barriers that can keep youth 18 years and under from participating in sports. The South Cariboo chapter helps to pay registration costs for between 50 and 60 children each year in sports, including hockey, figure skating, rhythmic gymnastics, judo, baseball, soccer and other organized, coached sports. Local KidSport representative John Benastick says they are able to sponsor children for up to $200 this year, which is up from last yearâ€™s limit of $100. Sponsorship money came from

the KidSport organization, the local minor hockey club, and donations from fundraising events, such as the Mega Show and Celebration of Lights auction. Benastick adds they havenâ€™t had many requests for sponsorship yet this year and he is urging people to take advantage of the program. Applications can be found on the Internet at www. kidsportcanada.ca and click on â€œFind a chapter.â€? Completed forms can be dropped off at RE/MAX. People can also call Benastick for more information at 250395-8225.

He adds five prospective players are from the 100 Mile area. â€œIâ€™m excited about the players who have shown up. You always get good quality players, but some bring other things like toughness and work ethic. One person doesnâ€™t make a team.â€? Regular team practices start on Oct. 2 and will be held every Tuesday from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at Rolf Zeis Arena. Navrot says he welcomes guys to come out and give it a try if theyâ€™re interested. â€œNothing will be set in stone and weâ€™re always open to new players. Just show up at the rink.â€? Sponsorship is an ongoing concern for the team and Navrot says theyâ€™ve seen good support from businesses so far. Donations for their team bus, which includes a couple of new batteries, filters

How do I clean wallpaper?

Total Living Area: 2100 sq. ft. • 3 bedrooms • 2.5 bathrooms

Cover the ﬂoor with plastic to prevent damage. Use a brush to whisk away loose dirt, dust, and cobwebs. Start at the top of the wall. You’ll want to clean from side to side and from the top to bottom in sections as you work around the room. Fill the bucket 1/2 to 2/3 full of warm water. Add just enough detergent to create a few bubbles when the water is agitated. Too much soap causes the walls to become sticky and attract more dirt. Dip a sponge in the water and squeeze out excess water and wipe the wall down with it, rinsing sponge frequently. Use a dry towel to wipe up excess moisture as you work. Do NOT over-wet wallpaper. Too much water may cause it to separate from the wall. Take special care to keep water from soaking into the seams of the wallpaper. Do NOT use abrasive materials as they will damage the wall paper. ALWAYS spot test for color fastness when cleaning wall paper, even when using soap and mild detergent. Baby wipes will work on many wall messes – no water or detergent necessary!

Call friends and neighbours to see if they’d like to do a sale together. The bigger the selection, the more customers you’ll have. 3. Give yourself a couple of days to get organized. 4. Gather boxes, newspapers, and bags to use during the sale to package purchases. 5. Set your dates and times. The ﬁrst and middle of the month are paydays for many people. 6. Take the time to clean up your items… products will sell better when they look “taken care of.” 7. Make the most of your display by setting up in a visible area such as the front yard, the driveway or near the curb. Don’t tuck yourself and your merchandise in a dark garage. 8. Label everything for sale with tape. Price it so you might consider buying it for yourself. 9. Before the sale, go to the bank. Get plenty of small bills and change to have on-hand. Keep a calculator handy for quick adding. 10. Be an entrepreneur. Make extra money by selling canned sodas, lemonade, etc., to shoppers. If you have kids, have them do this!

Melvin Harold May 5, 1933 - Sept. 18, 2012 Mel passed away peacefully at RCH after a lengthy illness. He was survived by Bev, his loving wife of 49 years; daughters Sandy Maxwell (Max) and Cindy Nedo (Jason); granddaughters Lauren and Callie; sister Beverly Simpson (Fred); and many nieces, nephews and relatives. Mel worked for BC Transit as a tireman for 38 years and was involved in Poco minor sports coaching hockey, ringette and softball. Mel was known to all as “Mr. Fixit” for his ability to repair anything mechanical. He lived his life to the fullest, enjoying RVing to Palm Springs every winter, puttering around the cabin at Green Lake, and being with family and friends. He will be missed by all. A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thur., Sept. 27 at Burquitlam Funeral Home, 625 North Road, Coquitlam. In lieu of ﬂowers, donation can be made to the Terry Fox Foundation.

Love Lives On Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, far as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.

Remember Only My Best When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile, just forget, if you can, that I ever frowned and remember only the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken; remember some good I have done. Forget that I’ve stumbled and blundered and sometimes fell by the way. Remember I have fought some hard battles and won, ere the close of the day. Then forget to grieve for my going; I would not have you sad for a day, but in summer just gather some Áowers and remember the place where I lay, and come in the shade of the evening when the sun paints the sky in the west. Stand for a few moments beside me and remember only my best. - AUTHOR UNKNOWN -

TOMLINSON Tom

Sept. 19, 1945 - Sept. 20, 2012 We are sad to announce the passing of Tom Tomlinson or “Big Tom” as he was affectionately known by many. He was a much loved father, and beloved grandpa, brother and uncle of a large family. Tom lived in 100 Mile House for over 43 years. He grew up in the Rock Creek/Greenwood area of the Kettle River Valley. He enjoyed reminiscing about the vintage cars of his youth, and the numerous close calls he had roaring around the Okanagan. Tom loved to collect cars, vintage cats and farm equipment that reminded him of his youth. Tom’s heart belonged to the Haynes Ranch which he referred to as his ﬁrst home. He worked his whole life running sawmills and operating logging equipment, often alongside his father. He moved to the Cariboo and began working at the Jens Mill, now West Fraser Sawmill. He spent most of his years at the mill as a respected Saw Filer. His family soon followed him to 100 Mile House. Tom loved the beauty that the Cariboo had to offer, and enjoyed ﬁshing and camping at all of the small back wood lakes. Tom lived his dream of stock car racing and was also the famous “anchor” in the tug of war event for Logging Sports. He won numerous trophies for both. Many did not know that Tom lived bravely with multiple illnesses. He never allowed his sense of humour or passion for dreaming of the future to be swayed.

This continuing 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. The most difficult invasive plants to manage are those that grow in aquatic environments. Often, there are few effective options available to treat aquatic invasive species and they have widespread negative impacts on water quality, water quantity, recreation, ecosystem processes and native habitats. The most important management tool for invasive aquatic plants is prevention. Once these species are

established, management programs are left, for the most part, to observe and note their progress and attempt to slow their spread to nearby water systems.

Yellow Flag Iris This aquatic invasive plant is a perennial widely sold in nurseries and on the Internet for ornamental ponds and water gardens, where it is a common choice due to its showy flowers and leaves. It is still being sold in some nurseries, and has been identified in areas of Lac la Hache and Bridge Lake.

MASSIVE

' ( $ # )

Yellow Flag Iris can be extremely aggressive as a result of its high seed production and ability to grow new plants from small fragments of root, and can grow in various habitats, including fresh or salt water. The roots and the leaves contain a sap that is toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation. Yellow Flag is a major problem because it forms dense stands choking out many native wetland plants. It can alter the width of watercourses and affect water flow in irrigation canals and flood control ditches.

Regional aviation history preserved in Flyover Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Take one insightful wilderness photographer, an award-winning author, blend their talents with incredible stories from some of British Columbia’s pioneer bush pilots, and you’ve got Chris Harris’ latest book, Flyover British Columbia’s Cariboo Chilcotin Coast. Harris, who already has 11 published books under his belt, will be releasing Flyover on Sept. 29 during Aviation Day at the South Cariboo Regional Airport at 108 Mile. The book is a collaborative effort between himself and Williams Lake area journalist and author of seven books, Sage Birchwater. His specialty is writing stories about local and regional history and he’s been doing it for more than 30 years. Harris is a twotime recipient of Canada’s Northern Lights Award for photojournalism, and for Flyover, he takes to the skies almost exclusively to photograph for his book. During the course

no infrastructure. “These frontier bush pilots took a lot of risks to get their job done and I’ve gained a lot of respect for them.” The public can get their first glimpse of the book at Aviation Day where Harris and Birchwater will be on hand to sign copies. At 7:30 p.m., the pair will give a presentation in the airport hangar with a slideshow of images from the book and a reading of some of the pilots’ stories. The presentation is one hour in length and promises to leave the audience feeling they have been on a journey of adventure, discovery, beauty and passion. Christianson says several of the pilots interviewed for the book will be at Aviation Day and he’s excited. “When the pilots fly in for this celebration of Canadian aviation history, there will be over 100,000 hours of bush pilot flying time in the same room. It could be unprecedented. It’s an opportunity to meet some of the living aviation legends.”

Thrills on river for Lac des Roches resident

SHARRON WOLOSHYN 250 593 0041 250-593-0041

Sandra Neill, canine companion, Nazko, and travel mate Don Jackson arrived home safely from their river boat trip in the Yukon. Despite a few hair-raising moments involving gravel bars, large rocks and fast moving water, Sandra says she is already contemplating her next northern trip. Don travelled from Australia for this adventure, saw several bears and enjoyed everything there was to experience in our beautiful country. Along the way, he was able to add some antique Canadian licence plates to his growing collection of souvenirs from around the world. It is a relief to have Sandra safely back in

Fall drops in early Anyone who slept in on the morning of Sept. 10 may have missed the first snowfall. The sudden drop in night-time temperatures signalled the beginning of frosty mornings, which are definitely affecting water temperatures and plant life. Gardeners are

busy harvesting crops, cleaning out garden plots and greenhouses and filling compost boxes with spent plants. Several visiting grandchildren and their grandmas have been observed still swimming in the lake as the high afternoon temperatures still provide immediate relief from the skin-chilling water, at least for a little while longer.

recently relocated to Peachland followed by a bus trip to Vancouver for her annual girlfriend pajama party was a good plan for Marguerite Neill. The unexpected wildfire in the

Trepanier Creek and the evacuation order that ensued changed her return plans significantly. Although her bus was allowed through the highway blockade and Marg was able to get to West Kelowna, her car

was stranded at her brother, Allen’s, house inside the evacuation zone. Luckily, after only one night in a local motel, the order was lifted, her car could be retrieved and she could drive back to Lac des Roches. When asked how her brother felt about his recent move to Peachland, Marg replied Allen is still happy with the relocation, but regrets having recently had all his outside windows washed as absolutely everything was coated with a layer of ash –even the inside of Marg’s car.

Showcase features the best of “Fakes and Forgeries” Arlene Jongbloets

Godin’s entry was taken from an image in a magazine, and while it’s close to the original, he took a few liberties with it that reflect current issues in the news. “My idea of copying is that you see what you bring to it,” he says. Godin adds this was one of the best themes ever chosen for the show and sale and one that got everyone very inspired. He also noted he’s never gotten so much public reaction and recognition from one of his paintings. Second-place people’s choice went to Susan Kruse for her version of “The Jack Pine” by Canadian artist Tom Thomson. Third-place people’s choice was Sharon Isaaks’ “The Visitor” originally done by late 19th-century English artist Arthur Hopkins. Honourable mention went to Ayla Boode, a young artist who is new to CAG, for her pencil drawing taken after a self-portrait by Rembrandt. Twenty-six artists displayed pieces in the show and 23 entered pieces NEW in the theme category.

Free Press

People’s-choice winners from the recent Cariboo Artists Guild (CAG) 32nd Annual Show and Sale, Fakes & Forgeries, are the focus this month at Showcase Gallery. Fakes & Forgeries had artists creating their own renditions of notable paintings and the show was on display at Parkside Art Gallery throughout the summer. Parkside visitors were invited to vote for their favourites and people’s-choice winners were determined based on the votes. Tom Godin’s reproduction of “News Boy,” from the original done by 19th-century English-born painter John George Brown was winner of the people’s-choice award and is the centrepiece of the show. The best of Parkside Art Gallery’s last show, Fakes and Forgeries, is on display now at Showcase Gallery. Arlene Jongbloets photo

Isaaks says winning a people’schoice award really gives artists a boost. “It gives them incentive and it’s always good to get a pat on the back.” She adds 15 paintings from the show sold, doubling last year’s total, but none were from the “Fakes and Forgeries” collection. “Lots of Cariboo-style paintings sold and it was mainly to out-ofarea buyers.” Isaaks says the show was quite successful, and while the theme was a hit with the artists, it didn’t draw many local visitors to the gallery. “We found that people in town didn’t really go to the show and that the information centre gave us lots of exposure, sending tourists over.” CAG members are already planning for their Christmas show, which will be on display at Showcase Gallery during the festive season. Showcase Gallery is located in the main foyer at 475 Birch Ave.

Lac la Hache School back in session, What’s On watch for children crossing roads

LAC LA HACHE MONIKA PATERSON 250-395-0918 llhnews@gmail.com

The young ones are back in class at Lac la Hache Elementary School and motorists are reminded to be cautious on the roads and watch for school buses picking up and letting students off, and to watch students walking along the roadways. School principal Steve Carpenter says the year has started crazy busy as usual. They went to the Power of One workshop at Mile 108 on Sept 20. The Terry Fox Run will be held on the Sept. 27 and the first Pro-D (no school for students)

is on Sept. 28. The students also have their composting program back in full swing. The StrongStart program is moving into a larger room and opening up a kindergarten room. StrongStart is for preschool aged children and runs Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon. Contact the school for more information at 250396-7230. It is almost time to harvest their beautiful garden of vegetables. Carpenter says early plans for the new breakfast program are coming together nicely, as well as the Healthy Lifestyle program, which the intermediate students plan, budget, do the shopping and prepare a hot lunch. He adds it is getting some finetuning every week and it should be up and running by the end of the month.

“The kids and staff have already started the year off on a great note.” The school’s Parents Advisory Council is hosting a bottle drive on Oct. 14. Funds raised will go towards field trips and other school activities. If you have any bottles and cans to donate, they can be dropped off at the school or call the school at 250-396-7230 and make arrangements to have them picked up.

gressive bingo pot of more than $2,850 was won by one of the 132 people attending. The new progressive jackpot will start at $1,200 at 49 numbers. Bingo runs every Wednesday at the Lac la Hache Community Hall. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and bingo starts at 7. Co-ordinator Jeanette McCrea says there are more than 100 people attending bingo on a regular basis.

Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy Society (CCPL) is an non-proﬁt society that has been leading community-based literacy activism in the Cariboo Chilcotin. Our vision is “We promote literacy through awareness and advocacy, and by initiating and supporting learning opportunities.” CCPL was established in response to literacy as a serious social and economic issue in the Cariboo Chilcotin. More important than the simple ability to read and write, literacy focuses on the ability to use printed information.

HALLOWEEN DANCE PARTY 6

DEKA DISTRICT DIANA FORSTER 250-593-2155

On Sept. 8, Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department (DLDVFD) held its annual barbecue to thank the firefighters. With divine desserts provided by their wives, the firefighters enjoyed sumptuous steaks in warm sunshine, followed by a roaring bonfire. The unexpected guest of honour was the most multicoloured fox this writer has ever seen. Bingo done The DLDVFD Ladies Auxiliary’s family bingo is over for another summer, but the Super G pot carried over to the Dec. 12 Christmas game is $1,259, so be sure to mark your calendars.

South Cariboo Regional Airport had a large visitor last week 108 RANCH REG BERRINGTON 250-791-9235 berringtonservices@shaw.ca

A large passenger plane landed at the airport at 108 Mile Ranch last week, and it was a charter hired for about a dozen people. The plane landed and took off a few minutes later. It was exciting to see a plane of this size landing here. Just think how great it would be if we had regular flights from here to the rest of British Columbia and Canada. I guess a person can only hope and wonder what the future will bring. CRD news The Cariboo

Regional District’s annual report covering the period from June 2011 to June 2012 for the status of the 108 Waterworks is now available. The report contains: an overview of maintenance for the system; average daily water flows; results of bacteriological and chemical water testing; and the wellhead protection plan. For further information, look at www. cariboo.bc.ca, or contact the CRD environmental Services department at 250-392-3351 or 1-800665-1636. It is hoped the CRD will have a general meeting in the near future, as some owners are still expressing their concerns about the quality of their water, including black sediment, cloudiness and smell and taste. The CRD had an emergency manage-

ment services booth at the South Cariboo Community Fall Fair. The staff went out of their way to explain the functioning of the service provided informative handouts and information on the services. Did you know that the emergency services volunteers provide access to food, clothing and shelter for the first 72 hours of an emergency? If you are interested in volunteering call the CRD at 1-800-665-1636 School news We would like to thank Daryl Menduk and Monique Corno of Rustic Landscapes for the tremendous donation of time and materials they put into Mile 108 Elementary School’s front gardens. Of particular note, is the memorial gar-

den they created at the school’s southwest corner. The new primary playing field is almost ready for planting. This is a left over project after the field was torn up with the geothermal project. It is hoped it will be ready for next fall. Student enrolment is up at the school, as 20 new students have registered and a new teacher has been hired

to accommodate the increase. We welcome the new families to our community. The cross-country running team started practising on Sept. 18, so you may see some of our students and teachers running around parts of the 108. The first Parents’ Advisory Council meeting was on Sept. 21 in the StrongStart Centre.

Burning bans still in effect ROCHES… from page A2 annual Boultbee Road horseshoe tournament. Many players and spectators will use down time during the tournament as an opportunity to prepare their cabins for the winter. Structures may suffer from the affects of heavy snow loads and shifting ice, so it is common for residents to pull property out of the water and build temporary structures over stored items. Residents are once again reminded it is both unlawful and annoying to place private property, such as docks, ramps and boats, on public accesses. Many accesses are used heavily during the winter months for all types of recreational activities on the icy playground,

as well as provide access to a year-round water source for firefighting. Burning bans Thankfully, burning bans are still in effect in the Cariboo. Yard work that disturbs the top few inches of soil, such as pulling weeds or removing stumps, provides evidence of just how dry the land is. The dew and frost in the mornings does little to add moisture to the ground and lack of rainfall during the latter half of summer has compounded the situation in this area. While small campfires have been allowed throughout the summer, they still could be hazardous if not monitored diligently during these very dry conditions.

Experience Adams Lake Freshwater Fishing Regulations before heading out.

Surface Area • 13,760 Hectares (34,000 Acres)

The Adams River is also popular for rainbow trout fishing, bull trout and lake trout. One of the most popular spots is at the mouth of the Adams River south. Another popular spot is the canyon.

dams Lake is huge, deep, cold and fishes beautifully. Adams Lake is known for its connection to the Adams River, famous for its sockeye run, however the lake supports a great fishery in its own right. Adams Lake’s many shoals and extremely deep dropoffs provide habitat for the trout here. Resident lake trout and bull trout, along with rainbows, do well here. Some of the best fishing is in early summer, when the trout have had a chance to fatten up after the winter, but while they’re still actively feeding, or in the fall, when they are preparing for winter. If you’re gear fishing, try silver colour combinations. Apex lures are popular, as are plugs and spinners. You want to make sure that your offering will be visible in the depths, and it’s critical here to ensure that you’re trolling at the right speed for your gear. Adams Lake is subject to several restrictions, as is the Adams River. Please be sure you are familiar with the BC

The Adams River north offers good fishing as well. Several restrictions are in place for both sections of the river, including a bait ban and a ban on power boats. Please note that the Adams River is closed to salmon fishing year round, and in the spring is also closed to rainbow trout fishing. LAKE ACCESS

everal parks and rec sites provide access to Adams Lake and Adams River. The Spillman Beaches marine site is a boat-access only beach area. This is one of the better beaches on Adams Lake. There aren’t any facilities at this site, so please practise “leave no trace” camping etiquette. The Spillman Beaches protects an alluvial fan and the lower reaches of Spillman Creek. Spillman Beaches site is located on the east side of Adams Lake, and boat access only. Adams Lake Provincial Park (Bush Creek Site)

is lightly forested with a decent beach. There are few facilities provided, and campers are reminded that they should be prepared to be completely self-sufÀcient. The park is located on the southwestern shores of Adams Lake, 15 km of paved and gravel road from Hwy #1 at Squilax, east of Kamloops, 30 km north of Chase. Take the Holding/Adams Lake West Road off the Squilax-Anglemont Road. Poplar Point is another boat-access only beach area with forested upland. As with the Spillman Beaches site, there are no facilities here. This is a beautiful site with an opportunity for wilderness, lakeshore camping.

One 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 beneﬁt the whole industry. Ray Williston, B.C. Minister of Lands and Forests, 1956-1972
