Bronc rider Matt Klassen of Williams Lake stayed on Wild n’ Blue until well out into the Outrider’s arena before flying off into the muck during the South Cariboo BCRA Rodeo on May 18. Both the competitors and the crowd braved the downpour for the sake of some good ol’ rodeo action. See more photos of the weekend action on pages A15, A19, A26 and B1.

Resolutions pass unanimously at NCLGA Local governments unite for ferries, ambulances, day care

Carole Rooney Free Press

The 59th North Central Local Government Association (NCLGA) AGM and convention in Fort St. John held May 14-16 went off like clockwork, says District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall. “All the resolutions were accepted and passed. There wasn’t one that got denied.” Campsall says he has never seen that happen before at the NCLGA conference, but he credits the calibre of the resolutions put forward in gaining such

for a solution to handle the province’s recent decision to kill the BC Ferries Route 40 sailing to Bella Coola. “It’s going to be a huge hit to the tourism, even in our own area.” Another key point of discussion revolved around the brown fields within municipalities and regional districts, he adds. Campsall explains the fuel companies shirk responsibility and save money by leaving contaminated soils to local governments to take on the cleanup of the old fuel storage sites, such as former gas stations.

That resolution seeks corporate accountability for leaked fuel and the soil removal work, he notes. “The people who created the issue need to make sure that they clean it ... so that oil companies will definitely, 100 per cent be responsible.” Campsall says another cost being downloaded to local government was the subject of another resolution.

Investigation moving slowly Police practice in northern B.C. focus of huge, ongoing investigation

Free Press

Schools can now apply for grants to help bring artists into classrooms. Artists in the Classroom (AIC) grants support projects that place a professional artist in residence in classrooms. AIC grants can fund up to 70 per cent of total project costs to help bring artists into contact with students. The AIC application deadline is May 30. More information is available online at www.artstarts.com.

The Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP's large and ongoing investigation into policing in northern B.C. was initiated last May following a report which described abusive treatment of First Nations women by police officers.

coming forward at www.cpc-cpp. gc.ca/index-eng.aspx. “We’re looking at engaging directly with the Aboriginal communities in the North District through a number of different facilitators we’ll bring in,” Cogan explains. “The idea [is] having people come forward and sharing with us some of the information they did with HRW.” Cpl. Dave Tyreman, a North District RCMP media spokesperson, says the RCMP is fully co-operating with the investigation. “Since we became aware of the HRW report and serious allegations involving the police, we sought and ultimately welcomed the opportunity for an independent investigation into the matter.” Meghan Rhoad is a researcher with HRW, a New York-based human rights advocacy organization. She authored the report, titled, “Those Who Take Us Away: Abusive Policing and Failures in Protection of Indigenous Women and Girls in Northern British Columbia.” Rhoad appeared before the House

of Commons Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women in January. In an editorial published in The Globe and Mail around that time, Rhoad calls for a national inquiry into violence against First Nations women. “While the experiences of the 50 native women and girls we interviewed varied, for many of them the indignities they say were visited on them by the police had come to define their relationship with law enforcement. The ‘Highway of Tears’ in British Columbia – a section of Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert – has come to symbolize rights abuses, disillusionment with the police, and sense of insecurity for native women and girls in Canada.” Cogan, a retired RCMP officer from Ottawa, says if more people come forward, the investigation will be completed quicker and be more comprehensive. “If people have an interest in this northern B.C. investigation – and I hope they do because clearly a lot of people spoke to HRW – if they have

information they want to share with the commission, don’t wait for us to call you – call us.” The HRW report is also critical of the police complaints process and questioned the accountability and effectiveness of the CPC. Last summer, the federal government announced the creation of a new police watchdog – the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission of the RCMP (CRC) – to replace the existing CPC. Enacted under Bill C-42, the CRC enhances “RCMP accountability and transparency,” according to the government. The change is expected to come into effect this fall. Cogan says it will give the agency the authority to compel witnesses and do broader, systemic investigations. “Bill C-42 also gives another $5 million to operate with, which is a pretty substantial change in our budget, because our appropriation up until last year was $5.4 million. That gives us a lot of ability to do more investigating on our own and to look at a much wider range of activities.”

Resource field trips enlightening

FAST bytes ARTS IN SCHOOLS

Gaven Crites n investigation launched last year into policing in northern British Columbia is taking longer than expected, and investigators want people with pertinent information to come forward. The Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP (CPC), the civilian agency that oversees the national police force, initiated the investigation last May, following a report released by Human Rights Watch (HRW) in February 2013 describing abusive treatment of First Nations women and girls by police officers. The commission’s investigation includes thousands of files, spans hundreds of communities, and encompasses more than 40 RCMP detachments from Kamloops to the province’s northern border. The commission is examining RCMP member conduct relating to policing of public intoxication; the incidence of cross-gender police searches; the handling of missing persons’ reports; the handling of domestic violence reports; use of force; and the handling of files involving youth. HRW’s report was compiled through interviews in the summer of 2012 with 50 First Nations women and girls, and an additional 37 interviews with families of murdered and missing women, in communities along Highway 97 and Highway 16. It describes numerous cases of alleged physical and sexual assault by RCMP officers, as well as mismanagement of investigations in cases of missing and murdered women. “It’s a big, big file,” says Tim Cogan, director of communications and corporate services for the CPC. “We’re aiming to have it done by the end of the current calendar year, which would be December. In my estimation, that’s probably a fairly optimistic deadline.” The commission is taking information from people interested in

ambulances is not a very simple issue.” Among the other successful resolutions was to lobby for $10 subsidized day care, which many other provinces already have in place, Campsall says. “People are not returning to the workforce because it’s [up to] $50$70 a day here for day care.” Noting this hurts businesses

and communities, he explains the subsidy quickly pays for itself in the income taxes and fees netted by governments from workers. In peripheral activities offered at the conference, Campsall enjoyed field trips to local industry. “One of the good things we did was go on a tour of the oil rigs, one of the camps, and a couple of the

liquefied natural gas [plants].” The mayor adds it was “a shock” to learn that natural gas drilling goes as deep as four miles into the earth before redirecting to a horizontal tunnel. The huge size and complexities of these resource facilities were “amazing,” Campsall says. “It was quite interesting ... it’s not even close to what you see on TV.”

HEALTH CONTRACT The Facilities Bargaining Association (FBA) representing 47,000 British Columbia health-care workers has reached a tentative collective agreement with the province. The FBA bargaining committee is unanimously recommending the agreement to its constituent unions. The B.C. executive of the Hospital Employees’ Union also recommended ratification to its members. The package includes 5.5 per cent in wage increases over five years, limits contracting out, protects benefits and provides certain provisions for paramedics.

Proposed ALC changes challenged Carole Rooney Free Press

On April 28, the British Columbia NDP called on Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett to tell her constituents where she stands on Agriculture Land Commission (ALC) changes tabled in Bill 24. NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons noted Barnett is a member of the Environment and Land Use Committee. “Donna Barnett needs to answer to her constituents, many of whom strongly support the protection of farmland, whether or not she stands with British Columbian farmers, or if she sides with B.C. Liberal MLA [and Energy & Mines Minister] Bill Bennett

who wants to destroy the Agricultural Land Reserve [ALR].” Despite a recent announcement by new Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick that he intends to take a step back and consult with British Columbians on Bill 24, Simons said Bennett has stated emphatically the bill is going to pass this session. Simons added Bennett, through his additional role as the Minister for Core Review, has been instrumental in “trying to break apart” the ALR. “The ALR plays an integral role in protecting B.C.’s farmland, yet minister Bennett is hell-bent on destroying it and allowing it to be managed through

political decisions. This simply can’t be allowed to happen and Donna Barnett needs to start explaining exactly where she stands.” However, Barnett said she has been open and public about her position supporting changes to the ALC. “This is something that we have asked for and people have been looking for in this area for years.” She provided a past example of a ranching couple who applied to subdivide their land within the ALR, where they lived, but wanted to build a new house and sell their existing home. “They have a 300400 acre ranch, but their house happens to be on the other side of the road on 10 acres.

So, they would like to take that 10 acres off and sell it, and build a new house over where their barn is, where their cattle are – and with any extra money they got, they would enhance their farm. They were rejected.” These are the types of issues that “need to be fixed,” Barnett explained. The local MLA said if agriculture operations across the province are to succeed in the long term – especially in the new Zone 2 in the Cariboo – ranching families need the ability to subdivide parcels for their offspring to stay at the home ranch after they grow up, not leave for greener pastures. “If a young person wants to stay on the farm

and get a mortgage on their house, they have to have title to the land.” Barnett added Bill 24 includes protections of fertile lands and ensures the ALC will continue to operate independently. The proposed changes also provide a better chance for farmers and ranchers to succeed by allowing for valueadded and home-based businesses, she notes. Barnett said the proposed new regional review panels offer an opportunity to include people who understand local agriculture land, as well as involving local governments earlier in the decision-making process.

Ainsworth sale falls through

Louisiana Pacific/Ainsworth arrangement agreement mutually terminated Free Press

Margarita Mondays! aball C l

The arrangement agreement between Ainsworth Lumber Co. Ltd. and United States lumber giant Louisiana Pacific was mutually terminated on May 14. The two companies entered the agreement on Sept. 4, 2013 with the understanding a wholly owned subsidiary of Louisiana Pacific would purchase all of Ainsworth’s outstanding shares for $1.1 billion. At the time, Ainsworth president and CEO Jim Lake told the 100 Mile House Free Press, the local Ainsworth Engineered oriented strand board (OSB) plant figured significantly in the deal because Louisiana Pacific is interested in the Asian market and the 100 Mile plant was already an important supplier of OSB and other speciality products to Asia. “100 Mile is also very strategic with some of our other value-added products, specifically the products that we sell into the engineered wood business, he said. “And, that is all part of why LP likes us – they like our mix of products and our geographic channels that we go [in] to the markets. “I’m sure they have no intentions of chang-

Emergency Preparedness Week important 100 Mile & District Emergency Support Services (ESS) members celebrated Emergency Preparedness Week (May 4-10) at the Cariboo Mall on May 9-10 by handing out complimentary bottles of water and information brochures promoting emergency awareness. They gave out 624 bottles of water, 100 game sheets to the children on “Staying Safe and Having a Plan,” 100 evacuation information sheets and 50 “Being On Alert” brochures. The two-day event was a great success as it informed the public and made them aware of the importance of emergency preparedness, local ESS director Liz Jones says, adding the information was well received. There were several questions asked: What disaster would we have here in 100 Mile?; what do we need to be prepared for?; we don’t live in 100 Mile does anyone look after us?; and I don’t live in 100 Mile, so I don’t have to worry?” Another comment was “Who are you and what is it exactly that you do? After extensive training, the members were able to answer all of the questions and explain what 100 Mile and area residents need to be prepared for – forest fires, floods, gas leaks, house fires and dangerous goods travelling our highways just to name a few. It is important the public is prepared and aware of what could happen in our community, Jones explains.

After the Barriere fire, it was felt the 100 Mile House and area communities needed their own trained ESS group, so in November 2009 it was formed. Since that time, the group has completed several workshops on how to organize an efficient evacuation reception centre for evacuees and assisting in providing needed services for 72 hours. ESS members have held two “mock” evacuations with different scenarios. The first was with some of the 108 Mile Ranch residents and the other was with the 100 Mile House Wranglers hockey team acting as evacuees.

Another mock disaster with a different group is being planned in the near future. “Practices like these are important to increase confidence for its members and awareness to the public,” says Jones. For more information, visit the Emergency Management British Columbia (MBC) website at www.embc.gov.bc.ca. Folks will even find how to be prepared for Zombies. (The Zombie approach and advertisement is to get the youth interested and to make them aware.) 100 Mile & District ESS volunteer members meet the first Monday of the month.

Employers must help fill skills void

here’s been a lot of talk lately in government and business about the skilled worker shortage in Canada. However, what we should be talking about instead is the shortage in workers who have adequate essential skills. Essential skills are the skills we all must have to thrive in our work. Oral communication, reading, document use, computer use, working with others, basic math, thinking, continuous learning and writing are the essential skills. Unfortunately, they are also the skills that more employers than ever are complaining they lack. Serge Coulombe and Jean-François Tremblay, economics professors at the University of Ottawa, have estimated that a one per cent gain in literacy skills leads to a 2.5 per cent increase in productivity and a 1.5 per cent increase in the Gross Domestic Product – a potential boost of $27

GUEST SHOT

estern Heritage Week in 100 Mile House was a blast this year, and our hats go off to all of the organizers and participants in the various events. There was a good response to the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce’s call-out for downtown businesses to get into a western dress-up theme at the start of the week. It always sets the theme for the Victoria long weekend festivities. The culmination of the week saw the return of the Little Britches Parade. It was great to see people lining Birch Avenue to see the parade, which made a triumphant return both for the spectators and the participants. Undoubtedly, it will get bigger and better as the years roll by. Parade organizer Allan Roberts deserves a lot of credit for breathing life back into it. The Little Britches Rodeo on Saturday (May 17) attracted a lot of spectators and participants, and it’s always a crowd pleaser. While the crowd was down for Sunday’s BCRA Rodeo due to the pouring rain, everyone braved the wet conditions. Fortunately, the numbers were up for Monday’s performance and folks were rewarded as the sun peeked through the clouds periodically. Kudos also have to go to the District of 100 Mile House and Peters Bros. Construction for getting Birch Avenue from First Street to Horse Lake Road paved in time for the long weekend. It certainly looked great for all of our visitors and residents. However, there were a couple of downsides to the weekend. The weather definitely didn’t co-operate, but there is nothing we can do about that, as it is completely out of our hands. The other issue was the price of a litre of regular gasoline jumped up by two cents for some strange reason. We don’t recall the price of a barrel of oil going up. We don’t recall further escalation of the crisis in the Ukraine – the last excuse we were given for the need to bump up the price of gas in our community and across the country. Of course, there’s nothing we can do about the price of gasoline, but there is something merchants can do about it, especially at the community level. For many outlets, a long weekend is the only excuse they need to hike the price of gas. However, when the long weekend is also the time when your community is trying to entice people to visit and spend their hard-earned dollars here, 100 Mile House won’t gain any points when the price of gas is jacked up to take advantage of the increased traffic flow. We need to mend our ways.

the technical shortages they are experiencing. They would also find an increase in safety, employee retention and customer satisfaction. In fact, the benefits far outweigh the costs. Workplace training is available through government agencies, colleges and non-profit organizations that specialize in programming specific to each sector and often to the individual employer. Some may be eligible for funding under the Canada Job Grant. The essential skills shortage is a pan-Canadian skilled problem. It is time for all of us to recognize that these skills are aptly named and demand that employers play their part in increasing the essential skills supply.

Opinion

Helmer: Sawchuk letter full of misinformation To the editor: While Mr. Sawchuk from Duncan is entitled to his opinion [in his letter, headlined Teachers’ Wage Demands Outrageous, on page A9 of the May 7 Free Press], but the information he uses for support is simply untrue. Mr. Sawchuk states the average teacher’s wage in British Columbia is $89,624. The starting salary for a teacher in this [school] district, after graduating with a five-year university degree, is $46,650. It

takes a further 10 years of “apprenticeship” teaching to reach a maximum salary of $74,353. The highest teacher salary in our district of $81,489 is only available to teachers with a Masters degree, which requires two-three additional years of university, and 10 years of teaching experience. Many districts have pay scales lower than ours. Also, as Tom Fletcher pointed out in his column on the same page, that university education

comes with a price tag of $50,000 or more. Mr. Sawchuk then proceeds to point out that many other provinces have settled deals with teachers that include wage freezes, but fails to mention that B.C. teachers’ wages have been frozen for the last four years. While Alberta’s teacher wages may be frozen, they are frozen at a wage that is $12,000-$21,000 higher per year than B.C. teachers, with the same level of training and

experience. Over a 30-year career, that is a half million dollar difference. Imagine what having that money in one’s pocket would do for B.C.’s economy. Mr. Sawchuk doesn’t mention anything about teachers in other provinces having their contracts unilaterally stripped of their provisions, but that has only happened in B.C. Despite Justice Griffin twice ruling the government action was unconstitutional, and that the provisions had to be restored, the

B.C. Liberal government has again ignored the ruling and is seeking to remove more provisions at the bargaining table or through another legislative process. It is unfortunate Mr. Sawchuk’s rants garner such coverage in our paper, and the misinformation they contain do little to support public education when it is needed the most. Murray Helmer, president Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers’ Association

Veterans deserve respect, assistance

To the editor: It’s shocking, not only how brazenly the Conservatives are breaking our country’s solemn vow to care for the men and women who served in the Canadian Forces, but how disrespectfully they treat them. The Conservatives are making it harder for veterans to access the support services they were promised by the government. Almost one-quarter of the employees at Veterans Affairs are being eliminated and nine Veteran Affairs Canada Centres have been closed. Veterans are being forced to travel further for less service. Some, including many seniors, will have to drive hours outside their communities to receive face-to-face help. The Tories claim nearby Service Canada Centres will do the same job, yet their teams – who deal mostly with everyday government services – cannot help because they are not trained to deal with complex veterans’ cases.

Furthermore, the Conservative government is failing to support those with debilitating mental health problems, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, because of a staff shortage. To fix it, the Conservatives announced they would hire up to 54 more mental health professionals 18 months ago. Then they made the same announcement again last month. Nothing has happened for almost two years because of the government’s own imposed employment freeze. When veterans tried to meet with Conservative Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino to discuss problems like these, he stood them up. Then, as they were about to speak with reporters, he finally came by and insulted them, telling them they don’t know what they are talking about. Later, he even called these veterans “dupes.” It was appalling. His disgraceful attitude was typical for the Conservatives, who say they care, while their

actions clearly say differently. We can do better. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has vowed to re-open the closed Veterans Affairs Canada Centres. He will restore a culture of respect for our troops and veterans and strive to provide

accessible care to meet their needs. It is high time we honour our promise to those who have put their lives on the line for our country. Jim Karygiannis, MP Liberal Veterans Affairs critic

What about future citizens? To the editor: British Columbia has shivered through freezing cold snaps a couple of months ago. Most of us heat our homes with electricity (from BC Hydro) or natural gas. The B.C. Liberal government has messed up BC Hydro, loading it down with perilous debt. Hydro rates are going up significantly.

As if that weren’t bad enough, the government is now planning to export massive amounts of our precious natural gas. How will future British Columbians heat their homes, when the natural gas is all gone, and BC Hydro is a bankrupted ruin? Hugh Thomas 100 Mile House

BC VIEWS

he British Columbia School Trustees’ Association (BCSTA) is calling for a mandatory secondary school course on the history of residential schools set up to assimilate Aboriginal children into European culture. Trustees propose a 25-hour course required for all graduating students, using interviews with residential school survivors, presentations by Aboriginal leaders and discussion of current events. B.C. Teachers’ Federation vice-president Glen Hansman gave a speech on the need for mandatory education to a 2012 teacher conference. He said current Aboriginal culture courses are poorly attended, and went on to denounce a school system he said is still based on “colonialism” and a “settler construct” of history. "We need to acknowledge that racism is the norm in public schools – still today,” Hansman said. Is it really? He also claimed the purpose and legacy of the residential schools have been “deliberately hidden” from school curriculum. In lieu of evidence, Hansman recounted

3,000 years. Historians characterize some of this as warfare. British colonial authorities had some “settler constructs” about these activities: they saw them as assault, robbery, abduction and murder as well as slavery. This is the seldom-discussed backdrop for the European settlement of British Columbia, the imposition of British law and the later establishment of church-run residential schools. None of this is to excuse the forced removal of Aboriginal children from their families, the horrendous abuse and neglect or the multi-generational damage to a culture already weakened by waves of smallpox. This 1928 plan to fix what was called the “Indian problem” deserves to be understood by everyone. But glossing over historical context and presenting a guilt trip to students would serve no one well.

the province Four injured after backyard bonfire explodes BURNABY - Four people are recovering from burns after a backyard bonfire went awry Wednesday night in South Burnaby, leading to an explosion. Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Major John Buis said police were called at 9:50 p.m. by neighbours in the 6500-block of 12th Avenue in the Big Bend area. "Neighbours called here to complain of a loud noise, sounded like a gunshot, followed by lots of yelling," Buis said. When officers arrived, there were four adults— he didn't yet know ages or gender—suffering from burns. All four were taken to hospital. Two had third-degree burns and remained in hospital on Thursday morning while the other two were treated and released. "We think it was a backyard bonfire and someone introduced something to the fire. We don't know exactly what it is, we're still investigating, it could have been some kind of fuel," Buis said. "It could be just about anything." He noted even aerosol cans will explode when burned.

Murphy Lake eagle rescued for rehabilitation WILLIAMS LAKE - A feisty injured adult female eagle is recovering at the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation (O.W.L.) centre in Delta after she was rescued at Murphy Lake near Williams Lake this week. First thing Wednesday morning O.W.L. staff examined the eagle and did an X-ray. “She’s quite a bit underweight,” bird care staff member Martina Versteeg said. “She only weighs 3.5 kilograms. She she should be 4.5 to 5 kilograms, but she’s quite big so hopefully she will gain some weight in care here. We’re hoping for a good recovery.” There are puncture wounds in her mouth, a callus on her leg and damage to the tip of her right wing. Versteeg suspects interspecies fighting with another eagle may have caused the damage. The eagle came to O.W.L.’s attention after Ken Walton of Williams Lake contacted the centre. He first noticed her on April 27 at Murphy Lake. There were gun shells nearby and he was worried someone had shot her.

Yes and no. It’s the curriculum that needs adjustment for more well-rounded student learning. The basic skills are lacking. On the whole, our teachers are really good.

Absolutely, yes. I have faith in our school system. Just look at our results for British Columbia; it is one of the best.

I don’t really know. I did go to school here. My daughter is only 11 months old. We will see, I guess.

Yes and no. It’s the way they teach things today; it seem’s ridiculous to me. And, some teachers today just don’t care about the kids.

Massive polio vaccination projects in India have resulted in no new cases of polio in the past three years. Through the efforts of the UN, The Bill and Amanda Gates Foundation, Rotary clubs around the world and others, have helped achieved that marvellous goal.

Some medications can slow down our intestinal tract and we could experience some constipation. One easy, natural way to counteract this problem is to eat a few dried apricots.

Caretaker saved by search and rescue efforts Free Press

South Cariboo Search and Rescue (SCSAR) members were part of a successful operation that located a missing 57-year-old man in a remote and rugged area west of Clinton on May 14. The man, a ranch caretaker in Jesmond, was prepared for an extended hike but was in “rough shape” after navigating for five days steep and tough terrain around the Fraser River, explains search manager Val Severin. “He was very dehydrated. His biggest enemy out there were the ticks. It was a big problem.” SCSAR was called on May 13 and responded with Clinton RCMP and Williams Lake and Kamloops Search and Rescue members. Authorities were alerted when the caretaker didn’t show up to meet the property owner on May 12 after last speaking with him on May 6. Crews scoured the area near the ranch

where the man’s vehicle and belongings were left. Later, a neighbour told authorities he gave the man a ride to the Big Bar Ferry a few days before, and a ferry operator confirmed the man crossed the Fraser River on May 9, and started hiking north. Searchers took to the air and used ATVs to try to locate him, and a tracking team followed

his footprints on the ground. The team tracked his prints to area where it was no longer safe to continue on foot, so an RCMP helicopter transported another team further up the river and put them down, Severin says. “They were [looking] for signs trying to find his footpath again, but couldn’t find any evi-

dence of him passing there. They happened to be waiting for pickup and saw a figure a couple knolls over. There he was.” He was located around 5:30 p.m. on May 14. “He was very appreciative and he was very thankful,” Severin says. “He was somewhat embarrassed that he ended up in the situ-

ation, but was very relieved to be taken to medical aid. He was very hungry and very thirsty.” Severin says the man has experience navigating the outdoors, but is fairly new to the area. The search was “a great team effort with a happy outcome,” she says, adding this type of extensive mission is not something they see very

The 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department responded to a grass fire at 106 Mile on May 13 around 3 p.m. Fire chief Marcelle Ried says they had 12 firefighters on scene and were done in about 30 minutes. "I like to let the grass fires burn themselves out, so there is a reduced chance of it happening later in the year." Ried suspects the cause of the fire was a discarded cigarette.

Category 3 open fires restricted

At noon on May 16, Category 3 open fires were prohibited throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC). The fire ban is intended to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. The prohibition will be in place until Sept. 30, or until the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations lifts the ban. Specifically, this order prohibits fires that burn: • Material concurrently in three or more piles, each not exceeding two metres in height and three metres in width. • Material in one or more piles, each exceeding two metres in height or three metres in width. • One or more windrows. • Stubble or grass over an area exceeding 0.2 hectares (more than

We would have exhausted looking for clues closer to his residence.” She adds people need to be prepared and leave a trip plan if they venture into the backcountry. “It could have been a fatal mistake for him to not let anybody know where he was going.”

2,000 square metres). This ban doesn’t apply to campfires, cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or open fires that are two metres by three metres or smaller. People should ensure that such fires are not lit or kept burning during windy conditions and adequate tools, water and people are on hand to contain the fire. They should also make sure the fire is fully extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time. This prohibition covers all BC Parks and Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by fire departments. Check with local government authorities for any other restrictions

before lighting a fire. So far this season, the Cariboo Fire Centre has responded to 44 fires – the vast majority were human-caused and completely preventable. Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, or if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. The CFC stretches from Loon Lake near Clinton north to the Cottonwood River near Quesnel, east to Wells Gray Provincial Park and west to Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-

Carnival fundraises for new playground The 100 Mile House Elementary School Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is inviting the public to a Spring Carnival May 23 to help raise funds for a new playground. It’s open from 4 to 6 p.m., rain or shine outside 100 Mile House Elementary School, and will see a variety of games, food and a silent auction.

raise some much needed funds to replace the playground, which is used by many families in the community. “It’s important to note the playground isn’t just our school playground. Everybody in the community uses it. “The elementary school is so central it’s used by members of the community during summer holidays and after school and weekends. “You always see kids out on the playground. Some of the local day-cares go there during school hours.” Games include minute-to-win-it, duck races, wheel of fortune, fish pond, toilet paper toss, and more. Hotdogs, cotton candy, popsicles and ice cream will be on sale. “It’s a pretty important playground,” Balbirnie adds. “It would be pretty devastating if we lost it and didn’t have anything to replace it with.

Teachers initiate strike action

Teachers in School District #27 will join their union comrades across the province in commencing stage 2 strike action with rotating, one-day walkouts May 26-29. In the CaribooChilcotin, teachers will be off the job and picketing on May 27. British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) president Jim Iker announced May 20

it has rejected government’s $1,200 signing bonus offered May 16, which came along with threats of an impending five per cent pay cut if teachers won’t perform all their duties. Iker says teachers were “glad” to see government had reduced its contract proposal from 10 years to six. However, the province’s continued refusal to offer an acceptable

salary package and restored class size and composition levels have prompted escalated job action, he explains. Iker adds Stage 1, work-to-rule strike action began April 23 in hopes it would spur an offer teachers could work with, but after a month, they saw “no major incentive” in the “minor” signing bonus and wage deals with “more zeros.”

A newer engine arrived at the Watch Lake North Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department in February. Bought last fall in a sealed bid auction from the Oyster River Fire Department, north of Campbell River, the engine is a 1993 Volvo Chassis with a 1,000-gallon built-in tank. The engine seats four, along with Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) in the back, plus a passenger in the front with built-in SCBA, and the driver for a total of six.

Club hits new heights

Carole Rooney Free Press

The 100 Mile Model Flyers Society is hosting free flight training at the South Cariboo (108) Regional Airport on May 31. At the Up In The Air! Down To Earth event, model plane enthusiasts will be demonstrating operation and manoeuvring of radio-controlled model aircraft – and offering folks aged 13-and-up a chance to try being a pilot. Society president Bill Hood says model fixedwing aircraft will be provided, after a ground school and model plane flight simulator training

in the hanger between 10 a.m. and noon. “They can get a feel for the planes on the simulator.” Then, hands-on flight training takes place from noon to 4 p.m. on the runway where participants can fly a radio-controlled plane paired with an instructor. A “buddy box” allows the trainer an override ability to take over, and to land the planes, which helps avoids crashes of these valuable models. “It’s really frustrating to learn without the buddy box because that’s what happens – you crash.” This way, he says folks

Flying a radio-controlled model aircraft takes a lot of concentration, but it’s also a lot of fun. 100 Mile Model Flyers Society members are offering free lessons at their event on May 31.

“can’t get into trouble.” The event is also Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC) sanctioned and insured for public safety. Model planes offer those who have an interest in aviation a broad, encompassing hobby that appeals to a wide range of interests from mechanics to camaraderie. This model flight training offers an easy way for folks to try it out without having to lay out any cash. “It’s fun; it’s social. We are a non-profit society, so we just try to do these events to create interest in the hobby and for entertainment.” The event gets underway at the main hanger by the entrance gate at 10 a.m. Pre-registration is required, and youth must bring a parent unless otherwise approved at registration. Be sure to bring a bag lunch, as no food will be available on site. Dogs will not be allowed entrance to the airport. If it is raining significantly, the event will be postponed until June 7. For more information and pre-registration, call Bill Hood at 250-3972575 or Len Doucette at 250-791-6689.

Go ahead; jump on the Big Bike Two-kilometre ride raises money for Heart and Stroke Foundation

Ken Alexander Free Press

The Heart & Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike Ride will be at SaveOn-Foods in 100 Mile House on June 9 at 11:30 a.m. The foundation is looking for teams of men and women to take a two-kilometre tour on Canada’s lone 30-seat bike. 100 Mile resident April Roberts will enter her team again this year and she is looking for folks to ride with her. “My team is TIB JONES & FRIENDS.

During last year’s Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike Ride in 100 Mile House, April Robert’s TIB JONES & FRIENDS team help raise $5,690 for the foundation. There is still time to register a team or join Angela’s crew.

100 Mile House Elementary hosts Spring Fair on May 23 100 mile elementary

Amy Baechmann

Hello everybody, I hope you all had a nice start to spring. Our school has been very busy and we are spending lots of time outside while the weather stays nice. Our Leadership students have been very busy with the “WE ARE SILENT” project for the last two weeks. On April 17, Leadership students participated in “WE ARE SILENT.” This period of silence acknowledged people around the world without a voice to speak up. For example, the Leadership students said some people who don’t have a voice are those who are bullied, those who don’t have an opportunity to go to school and children working in sweatshops. We also had our yearly book fair during which we made $2,800. Out of this money, we get to

keep $700, which our school Librarian will be using to purchase new books and a document camera. Thank you Lisa Davidson for making it possible for us to have lots of new books for our school library! On May 8, we also had our Talent Show in which some of the students got to perform in front of the whole school. Our students showcased their talents in singing, dancing, juggling, and stand-up comedy. We had lots of winners, but the two overall winners were Emma Donnelly play-

ing the violin (Grade 2) and Mia Weir singing (Grade 6). Everyone did a wonderful job and their talent is amazing! An upcoming event that we are excited about is our Spring Fair on May 23. Our students will be participating from 1 to 3 p.m. and then it will be open for the community from 4 to 6 p.m. We will have lots of fun and exciting events happening, such as balloon darts, wheel of fortune, minute to win it, duck pond, bubble station, face painting, cupcake walk and many more fun activities.

You can play each game for just one $1 ticket and every ticket wins a prize. There will be ice cream, hotdogs, cotton candy and popcorn. We also have generous donations from local businesses! Parents have the opportunity to bid on those items at our silent auction area. Please come and support us for our new playground equipment. I wish everybody a nice month of May. Amy Baechmann is a Grade 6 student at 100 Mile House Elementary School.

“humongous” bike that seats 29, she explains. Each rider has to raise a minimum of $50, April says, adding all of the money goes to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “I need a few more bikers to join my team and donations are always welcome. It is a fun event and a worthy cause.”

Youth bikers must be at least 14 years old and must have a signed waiver from their parents, she notes. The Big Bike has been coming to 100 Mile House for more than 20 years. During the past four years, the 100 Mile House Big Bike supporters have raised more than $20,000. April’s team, TIB JONES & FRIENDS, has raised $10,322 of that $20,000. The foundation uses these funds to create survivors through life giving research and awareness campaigns. The foundation’s vision, “Healthy lives free of heart disease and stroke; together we will make it happen,” is being realized by the two impact goals – reducing the number of Canadian deaths from heart disease and

social development outcomes.” Children thrive when they have an involved father, grandfather or father figure – someone who loves them, knows them, guides them and helps them to achieve their destiny, De Paoli explains. “Love is more about commitment and determination than feelings. One of the best messages a father can give his kids is “I love you just like you are. You don’t have to prove anything to me.” We invite “dads” and their children to join us on May 24 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the CFEC (next to Home Hardware), De Paoli says.

It’s time to play

Father figures are invited to bring their children to a fun event at the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) at 486 Birch Ave. in 100 Mile House on May 24. It’s called Daddy and Me and it is held every fourth Saturday of the month. The next event goes from 9 to 11 a.m. This is a fun event for dads and their kids to play, have a great breakfast and share the joys and challenges of parenting, says Lisa De Paoli, CFEC executive director. “Studies demonstrate that children with involved fathers have better cognitive, emotional, and

stroke; and significantly improving the health of Canadians by decreasing their risk factors for heart disease and stroke. Last year, the 100 Mile House Big Bike event raised $5,690. These funds have helped support life-saving research in British Columbia by researchers, such as Dr. Karin Humphries. She is investigating gender-based differences in cardiovascular disease, to build understanding and ultimately help improve the outcomes that women with heart disease face. Folks who want to learn more or want to register a team can go to bigbike.ca. People who would like to join April’s team can contact her at aprilldr@yahoo.com or 250-395-4421.

Race raises cash for hospice Flett, Balbirnie earn fastest times at annual 10-km run

Gaven Crites Free Press

It was cloudy, chilly and it rained a bit. The runners loved it. The Second Annual Cariboo Spring 10-km Run, Relay or

Walk Around the Lakes saw 41 entries on May 10. The event started at the 108 Mile Heritage Site and included a five-kilometre walk and 5/5-km relay for teams of two. Andrea Flett was the fastest female in the 10-km run with a time of 44 minutes 21 seconds. Wade Balbirnie was the fastest male to cross the line with a time of 41 minutes 10 seconds. His son Brendan Balbirnie finished seven seconds behind him. Kam Taylor of Focused Fitness is the organizer. “All in all, it was the

perfect temperature [for the runners],” he says of the cool conditions. “As for the people standing around and walking, not so much.” The event raised $715 for the 100 Mile District Hospice Palliative Care Society. “Hopefully, we have more entries next year. We took every constructive criticism from the first year we did it and applied it and there

were no complaints [this year]. “We heard a lot of

positive feedback. We're going to keep going strong."

Low net shooters were Judy Scarrow, Maureen Menzies and Carol Ohlund. Long drive was hit by Janet Roux. The second flight saw Lorraine McCaffrey shoot low gross, followed by Maureen Pinkney and Ann Pinkney. Shelley Larson fired low net, followed by Pauline Weigelt and Angela Batahla. M. Pinkney whacked the longest drive. Third flight low gross golfers were Bev Lund, Carol Plautz and Deb Garrow. Low netters were Eileen King, with Angie Wahnschaff in second and Wendy Foster in third. Bonnie McColl ripped the longest ball, and Lund was closest to the pin. McCaffrey sunk a birdie on No. 16.

The first place team, which included Lynda Lewis, Laura Rausch, Deb Case and Wendy Foster, shot a net score of 38. In second place on a count back was Koehn, Lori Henderson and Weigelt with 39.

Coaches needed

The right coach could be you. “Coaches do not need to have children in minor hockey, or children at all for that matter,” says Kim Mills, first vice president of the 100 Mile & District Minor Hockey Association. “A love of the game, and a passion to pass the love on to today’s youth is all you need.” The local minor hockey association is looking for coaches in all divisions for the upcoming 2014-2015 season. All prospective coaches must have a valid criminal record check, vulnerable sector check, and the Hockey Canada, Respect in Sport Course, which is available online. A Developmental 1 Clinic is also mandatory and must be completed by Dec. 15. If no coaches step forward by May 31 to coach a rep or atom development team, there is a risk that the association may not approve a team for the 2014-2015 season. No coach means no team. Applications are now available at the minor hockey office at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre or online at www. 100mile minorhockey.com. Peewee, bantam and midget rep and atom development coaching applications are due by May 31. If the office is closed, please submit the application through the mail slot beside the door. The association will reimburse coaches in full

for all courses that are completed and passed. For more information please contact Kersti Foote, administrator, at 250-395-4344. Or Ryan O’Dette, coach coordinator, at 250-706-9317. The next minor hockey meeting is June 3 at 7 p.m. in the Lions Den Meeting Room at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre.

GeRAlD (Gerry) July 11, 1937 - May 14, 2014

It is with mixed emotions that the family of Gerald Connell announces his passing on May 14, 2014. He will be greatly missed, but his suffering has come to an end. Gerald Randall Connell was born July 11, 1937 in Rose Valley, Sask. The family moved many times eventually landing in New Westminster, BC. He spent many years as a Millwright at Scott Paper, where he made many good friends. In the most recent years, he lived in 100 Mile House. He passed peacefully in the home that he helped construct – one visited by many over the years. Gerald is survived by his children: Randy (Beth) Connell, Rhonda (Darrell) Slobodin, Dean Stevens, Tamara Connell, Jay Connell (Kristy), Joe Connell (Sheri). Grandchildren: Justin, Melissa, Kevin, Christopher, and Wyatt. Great Grandchildren: Locklan, Caleb and Mckenzie. Sisters: Shirley, Joy, Gay, Sandra, and Karen (Hardie). He also leaves to cherish his memory numerous nieces and nephews as well as many friends who were family to him. Gerald was predeceased by his parents, Harvey and Ida Connell, and sister Judith. He enjoyed life in many ways whether hunting, fishing, horse racing, poker, working on his farm or simply hanging out at home. He enjoyed the laughter and camaraderie of visitors in his home, always up to a game of crib, wist or poker. He enjoyed sharing the tales of the many experiences of his life. Other than his children, the three greatest loves of his life were his mother, who was his greatest cheerleader, his Aunty Merle who was the spitfire who helped keep him in line, and his ‘56 Ford Station Wagon which,he says, never let him down. He had a strong opinion on many a subject and was known to be a tad bit stubborn, but so loved by all. Wherever you should be Dad, we want you to know that we love you and your presence in our lives will live on in our hearts! A memorial service will held in 100 Mile House.

Zombeo, Zombeo, wherefore art thou Zombeo?

Gaven Crites Free Press

It’s one of the most celebrated and performed plays ever written, and it’s getting a dark, funny and modern twist in 100 Mile House. Grades 8-9 students from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School are busy learning their lines for upcoming performances of “Zombeo and Juliet,” a gory and comic take on Shakespeare’s great tragedy about

star-crossed lovers from feuding families. In the “Romeo and Juliet” parody, written by Kathy Martin and Phil Nohl, the Houses of Montague and Capulet have been replaced with the Montgomerys, a family of zombies, and the Decapitates, zombie hunters. “When Juliet’s cousin Ty kills Romeo, Romeo becomes a zombie, making the Montgomery family proud,” reads a description of the play.

“Soon after at the Decapitates’ costume party, Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love, but poor Juliet Decapitate doesn’t know her love is one of her undead adversaries.” The performances go from May 21 to 23 at 7 p.m. in the 100 Mile House Junior Secondary School gymnasium. As well as performing, the theatre students are working all the technical aspects of the production.

Tickets are $7 and available at Donex Pharmacy and Didi’s Boutique in 100 Mile House, and at the door during performance evenings. A press release prepared for the production by director Lisa Dugaro states: “Although this is an all ages’ comedy, audience members should know that there are jokes about death, mention of/warning about drug use, and cartoonish violence in the play.”

Spring Sing delivers variety Eclectica Community Choir concert benefits health care in 100 Mile

Those in attendance at Martin Exeter Hall in 100 Mile House on May 10 for a performance by a local choir heard what the group’s name promises: eclectic sounds plus a variety of music. The Eclectica Community Choir held a Spring Sing event, which included performances by the Ogden Sisters, Silk, Curtis Wolfe and Front Porch, a bluegrass group that opened the show. “[Front Porch] set a very relaxed and joyful mood for the concert,” director Marilyn Buyar says, adding the concert was great and saw a good number in attendance. Cash donations were accepted at the door and nearly $1,500 in proceeds went to the 100 Mile & District General Hospital Auxiliary and the Mill Site Lodge/Fischer Place Auxiliary. Eclectica is taking a summer break, and is now looking at a selection of music for the fall term when rehearsals start in September.

The choir includes a few dozen local people who love to sing, and is always looking for experienced or beginning singers

to join its ranks. Buyar, a retired public school teacher, says the music scene in 100 Mile House has a lot to offer. “Because it’s a small community, people very quickly network and find out who the other musicians are. There are a lot of opportunities for accompanying and performing.” In fact, it’s one of the reasons she relocated to the South Cariboo from the Lower Mainland close to four years ago. “I did look online to see what was happening musically before I moved up here. I noted Eclectica was in existence, and I noticed Dennis [Tupman’s] name because he was active in music education in Vancouver. I knew I was coming to an area that had quite a bit happening musically, and that was important to me.”

View important films for free South Cariboo Sustainability Society hosting its Summer Film Series By Peter Jarvis The South Cariboo Sustainability Society (SCSS) continues its film series over the summer in conjunction with the Rebel Garden Zone campaign with the goal of getting everyone out in the garden growing fruits and vegetables. We begin May 27 and continue through August on the last Tuesday of each month at the Community Employment Centre, 808 Alpine Ave., in 100 Mile House, starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free, refreshments are usually available and a short discussion often follows. The May 27 film is titled Queen of the Sun and offers some spectacular photography – the picture of a women absolutely covered in bees is worth the price of admission – asks the question, “What are the bees telling us?” and takes us on a journey through the catastrophic disappear-

ance of bees and the mysterious world of the beehive. The June 24 film, Play Again, is really enjoyable as it follows a different disappearance and asks the question “What are the consequences of a childhood removed from nature?” Six typical teenag-

ers, with daily “screen time” of five to 15, go camping – lighting fires, climbing trees, shooting arrows, swimming in the river and mostly enjoying them, but for sure creating indelible memories and, hopefully, bonds with nature and what it provides. The July and August films are still up in the air, but in consideration are King Corn – how corn conquered America; Back to the Garden – several flower children explore their dreams and ‘60s idealism over the years; and To Make A Farm – five young Canadian people become small-scale farmers.

Another suggestion has been to turn some of these evenings into a discussion exploring successes and learning about growing stuff in the Cariboo. Send, or better still bring your, opinion to one of our monthly meetings – for details, go to southcariboosus tainability.com. Peter Jarvis is a director with the SCSS.

Caring for Lilac Shrubs By Patricia Timmermans Hearing the word ‘lilac’ is all it takes for me to think ‘spring’! My first-ever garden shrub purchase was a pair of lilacs. I knew nothing about the soil they’d love or when to prune, but with time I found that lilacs are very forgiving! So if you’re hesitant about the trial-and-error method, here are a few tips for growing healthy beautiful lilacs. Basics about lilacs Most species of lilacs prefer the climates of hardiness zones 3 to 7 but there are cultivars that will do well in warmer zones. The USDA Hardiness Zone Map has a page dedicated to lilacs for warm climates. Lilacs love well-drained soil that’s more alkaline than acidic and grow best in full sun but partial shade won’t hurt. When planting, allow room for good air circulation to reduce the possibility of powdery mildew — a common problem for lilacs. New shoots can take up to three years before flower buds begin forming. Be sure to deadhead, or remove spent blossoms with sharp clippers, as soon as possible to encourage new buds to form for the following year. As your lilac shrub matures, the job of deadheading isn’t as important as it is in the first 3 or 4 years. An established plant won’t need the extra encouragement provided by deadheading, to produce new buds — they may be too high up to clip anyway! I still remove old blooms as far up as I can reach without a ladder. Pruning lilacs A general rule about pruning — when your lilac shrub reaches a height of 6 to 8 feet and the main stem is 2 inches in diameter, it’s time to start pruning and shaping the shrub. The best time of year to prune is after the spring flowers are done. Pruning early in the season will give new buds the rest

to answer all your gardening questions.

branches that grow across one another. Trim large stems from the center of the shrub to allow air circulation and room for new shoots on the outside of the plant to develop. If left to grow on their own, lilacs could reach heights of 15 feet or taller, but it’s personal preference whether to keep your lilacs to a manageable height or let them grow tall. An excellent resource for pruning howto’s is the Horticulture Gardener’s Desk Reference Interesting facts about lilacs • Lilacs are edible! They make an easy, beautiful and delicious garnish. • The lilac, botanical name Syringa vulgaris, is a species of flowering plant and a member of the olive, Oleaceae, family. Look closely at the name: Syringa or syrinx is Greek for ‘hollow tube’. In ancient times the shoots of the lilac plant were easily carved or hollowed out and made into reed pipes and flutes! • Vulgaris means ‘common’ or well known — there are at least 20 known species of lilacs and more than 2000 named cultivars, lilacs are indeed well known and well-loved. • The common lilac, S. vulgaris, is native to the rocky hills of the Balkan Peninsula and was brought to North America in the 17th century. • The fragrant purple flowering lilac blooms inspire Canadians (or me anyway) to start planting. I’d say it’s because they’re in bloom during the month of May and the May long weekend is our signal that it’s usually safe to be in the garden! http://www.canadagardener.com/caring-for-lilacs/ Photo credit: wikimedia commons

Gardening

Dear Deer....Stay out of my garden! Deer are one of the commonest complaints of gardeners. Solutions exist, but it often takes an integrated approach to minimize damages. Excluding deer from the garden is the only truly effective means of eliminating any damages to one's garden. High fences or electric fences can create the barrier needed, but may not be viewed as neighbourly or appropriate for all areas (who wants to live in Fort Knox?). Temporary electric fences especially around food gardens are under-utilized. Repellents such as human hair, bars of soap, bloodmeal, moth balls and commercial chemical repellents discourage feeding by creating offensive odours or tastes. These work best if several items are used throughout the season. Bags of human hair scattered throughout the garden and the smell of Irish Spring Soap may raise eyebrows of the un-initiated but they can be effective. Such solutions must be freshened on a regular basis in order to keep

Vests saved lives in tropics

says it was “very disappointing” news for a lot of knitters who have been involved for years. “The vests are an easy project and knitting is something you can do when you’re visiting, or when you’re watching TV. You felt like you were doing something

Free Press

Some 1,100 pneumonia vests were dedicated at the 100 Mile United Church on May 11, and it was noted that during the past 17 years, more than 11,000 vests have been knitted and distributed to third-world countries. Canadian Food For Children (CFFC) has distributed these vests to villages and hospitals from Central America to Haiti and from equatorial Africa to Sri Lanka. Although we think of the tropics as hot, the nighttime temperatures are cool enough that infants and children often get pneumonia. These vests can make the difference between life and death, as they give the extra bit of warmth needed to fend off respiratory infection. The project originally started in Merritt with the Roman Catholic Church and the Sisters of Charity. It came to 100 Mile House through St. Timothy’s Anglican Church in 1996. In 1998, the 100 Mile United Church women volunteered to take over co-ordination of the project. Now, there are knitters from all over the South Cariboo and beyond. Sadly, the pneumonia vest project has come to an end after this shipment because SFFC is unable to save space for the vests, as food has become the overriding need everywhere. Local group spokesperson Andrea Martin

Hyundai raises the bar By Keith Morgan VERNON – There is little chance of falling asleep at the wheel of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, even on one of those long summer driving vacations. The twisty route around the Okanagan lake country, chosen to show off the agility of this new luxury sedan from the Korean manufacturer, guaranteed all behind the wheel kept their eyes glued to the road ahead. But should such external stimulus not be available for the long distance driver, there is a nifty little gadget below the glove box. An industry-first sensor control system detects when CO2 levels are too high and boosts the cabin with fresh air. Research by Hyundai engineers determined that drowsiness increases when CO2 concentrations inside the cabin exceed 2,000 parts per million. Of course, cracking a window works the same way but many do not detect the onset of a sleepiness until it’s too late, while others are reluctant to let in that cold mountain air during a winter jaunt. Count me in that group. Gadgets aside, there is much to stimulate the senses in the all-new Genesis. Its eye-catching design, with giant front grille, would not look out of place parked next to a BMW, Audi or Merc, which is precisely the intent. It’s benchmarked against such German Masters at a price segment below what one would expect to pay for the European leaders. Will they hold their price in resale? – Likely not during this generation, but if the ambitious Koreans continue

to prove reliability and quality then they will. Meanwhile, an owner is going to enjoy years of driving a performance oriented in comfort and style. The fit and finish inside rivals those with which it chooses to compete for the dollars in the wallets of the wellheeled. The subtle use of leather and micro suede is classy; with Napa leather and real wood trim available as an option. Double stitched leather seats always look good but it’s what’s inside that counts on a lengthy trip! The foam beneath in this case offers both support and comfort in the right places. Both front seats offer 12-way power adjustment and there’s a power-adjustable thigh extension with side bolsters that’s available for the long-legged. A new power trunk lid goes a step further than the new trend to enable opening by swinging your leg under the rear to pop the trunk. Tired of standing on one leg with two arms full of groceries? When your pocketed key nears the trunk, it automatically opens after three-seconds. A High-Beam Assist (HBA) function switches to low beams when an oncoming vehicle is detected. Other options include a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and rear door window blinds. Driver-assist safety technologies are also available in abundance for those who like the car to do some thinking for them. The new Genesis is also a statement of intent: it heralds what will be the

look of the seven new less-premium Hyundai products expects to grace our showrooms before 2016. When it comes to driving, it’s really a tale of two cars. The top-of-the-line model offers a big V8 5-litre power plant, with 420 horses at its disposal. Ironically, it’s best enjoyed jogged along at low speed on the highway, where it has the feel of an old-fashioned big family sedan. (It’s not a lot of fun on the twisting lakeside roads of the Okanagan.) Cars destined for the Canadian market will come with an all-new HTRAC active wheel drive (AWD) system. Says Hyundai: “Performance of the vehicle’s all-new platform was validated in some of the world’s most demanding driving environments, including Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife and Korea’s Yeongam Formula 1 racing circuit.” The large variety of proving grounds offered by the northern Okanagan was much more appealing to me. And especially so in the car equipped with the 311 horsepower, 3.8-litre GDI V6 engine. Flipping between the Normal, Eco and Sport modes and tapping the gear-changing paddles on the steering wheel made for an enjoyable drive. Little lean in the corners and sprightly up hill. Both engines are coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a SHIFTRONIC manual mode. The base price is $43,000, $48,000 gets you the Luxury version, and $53,000 loads up the tech features. If you want the V8, get ready to spend $62,000. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
