‘How Great Thou Art’
Elvis Presley was first and foremost a gospel singer. He grew up in the Deep South where gospel music was heard in every church. It was the soul of the south and was the precursor to rock ‘n’ roll. Elvis won three Grammies and awards for his gospel songs, which were his true roots. Steve Elliott, who is known for his Elvis Elite show, is bringing ‘How Great Thou Art’: the Sacred and Inspirational Songs of the King to the Martin Exeter Hall in 100 Mile House on Feb. 22, starting at 7:30 p.m. “I love performing for the community and especially these songs,” says Elliott. “People will be uplifted, inspired and hear the Gospel
“There was a lot of emotion in those songs for him. Elvis Presley loved gospel music and would sing far into the night at Graceland and he said his voice was a gift from God.” Elliott will perform his solo show with backup tracks rather
than other musicians. “It’s all about the voice – no distractions or stage props. It’s just me up there sharing my passion through song.” Tickets are $20 per person and are available at Donex, the 108 Supermarket and at the door.

Deka derby successful Chilly temperatures didn’t dampen hot competition
By Diana Forster It was too cold for even the fish at Deka Lake & District Volunteer
Fire Department’s (DLDVFD) 31st annual Ice-Fishing Derby, Feb. 8.
Of five kokanee caught, first prize and the Dennis Watt Memorial Trophy went to Doyle Beek’s 1 lb. 2 oz. catch. A Higgins Lake resident, Watt passed away in 2003, but is fondly remembered as a staunch supporter of DLDVFD. Sharon Chislett and Gerry Chamberlain kokanee placed second and third respectively.
Two rainbow trout comprised Roy Nichol’s 1 lb. 9 oz. catch, and Daryl Silverton’s lake trout numbered five. Prizes went to Fred Streleoff ’s 12 lb. 1 oz. fish, followed by Derek Bendig, and a tie between Wayne Vanderhoek and Ted Bell. DLDVFD sincerely appreciates the public’s support.

Annual Ladies Ski/snowshoe Mad Hatter tea party on March 2
Ken Alexander
Ask me about
Free Press
The 100 Mile Nordic Ski Society is inviting all female cross-country skiers and snowshoe enthusiasts and those who want to be skiers and snowshoers to attend the annual Ladies Ski and Mad Hatter Tea Party at the 99 Mile Ski Trails on March 2, starting at 1 p.m. The event is open to all ladies, from first time trail users to the experienced, whether they are 100 Mile Nordic members or non-members, says Nordic spokesperson Lauren Bock. “Invite your daughter, mother, sister or friend for a fun afternoon of skiing/snowshoeing [at your own pace] and then join Nordics members for tea, goodies and friendly conversation.” Attendance is by donation to the 100 Mile & District Women’s Centre Society. The Nordics are changing it up this year by making it a Mad Hatter Tea Party, so women and girls are urged to find or make a funky, fun hat or toque to wear. There will be prizes for the “craziest” hat. Bock notes there are a limited number of snowshoes and skis to rent, but participants can book a set with Cam at the lodge by phoning 250-3952104. Coaches will be on hand to help those who would like a free lesson. “Let’s celebrate Women’s Day in style, while helping the Women’s Centre.” For more information about the annual event, contact Lauren at brucelauren@shaw.ca, or by calling 250-791-7291.

The Health Care Assistant (HCA) program is up and running at the Sprott Shaw College satellite campus in 100 Mile House, and it’s offering a new Business Administration program in the near future. Local campus manager Diana Badke says there are five women in the inaugural HCA program who have completed one month of the course and are “really happy” with the smaller class size and the one-on-one attention they are getting. She notes the program involves 4.7 months in the classroom studies, and then the students go into the community to do their two-month clinical portion of the program. “We’ve made connections with all of the facilities and all of the preliminary plans are in place. We just have contracts to sign, so they’ll be doing their ‘clinicals’ locally ... and doing some home support as well.” Badke says there will be another intake for the HCA on March 24. She adds the college is going to be offering its Business Administration (BA), which is a 25-week, fulltime program. Classes will be four hours a day and will be held in the afternoon. The program is scheduled to start on March 31 and those interested need to apply by March 14.
the growth end of things and using the Cariboo Regional document and seeing which industries have growth prospects. We also look at local job boards, local need and long-term forecasts.” She notes Sprott Shaw College also offers upgrade programs and go into specialty areas in various programs. Badke says students are also offered lifetime support that is provided by trained employment specialists. She adds Sprott Shaw College added this service, which includes employment and curriculum research, last year.
