The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) released a statement last week about an increase in telephone scams during which the caller claims to be from the CRA, but is definitely not.
The CRA warns Canadians these threat-ening and aggressive fraudulent calls are trying to scare people, particularly seniors, into paying for a “debt with the CRA” and it could result in identity and financial theft.
Horse Lake resident Laura Matsuda has received two of these calls – one last week and a second on Monday (Aug. 24).
The caller, who iden-tified himself as a CRA employee, screamed at her about owing money to the tax agency and told Matsuda she would be facing criminal charges.
“He said he would help me get a criminal lawyer and that was the only way he could help. I told him I didn’t know him and I’m hanging up.”
Matsuda says she didn’t follow up at that point because “it seemed so ridiculous” and she had a lot of company at the time.
She notes that during Monday’s call, which was a recording, the caller was not scream-ing, but he was forceful and adamant.
“He identified him-self of being from the CRA and said criminal

Having more hous-ing options for seniors in the South Cariboo is a big challenge that has been taken up by a committee that is intent on finding solutions.
Committee members want to hear from local seniors and their fami-lies about what their needs are now – and what they might see coming down the road.
South Cariboo AGE-FRIENDLY Initiative community co-ordi-nator Lea Smirfitt says its steering committee on housing recognizes there are limited seniors housing units or other
options available for elder care.
“The [steering com-mittee] has made it one of their priorities to bring further seniors housing options to the South Cariboo.”
Steering commit-tee member Konrad Schmid-Meil says one of its goals is to offer seniors who prefer to stay in the community ways to do that, wheth-er in a new co-op, some other form of support-ive care living or in their own homes.
However, in order to gain financing for any form of seniors’ hous-ing, a feasibility study is required to inventory local housing options
and to determine which housing model is appropriate for, and supported by, c o m m u n i t y members, he notes.
Schmid-Meil agrees with fel-low committee member Chuck Shaw-MacLaren that it is very important to gather input from as many interested resi-dents as possible when investigating potential for a new seniors hous-ing complex in 100 Mile House.
“More and more we have a group now with a kind of a vision ... but before we go with
what we want, we need to know what [local seniors] need.”
He says the committee is well underway with complet-ing funding a p p l i c a t i o n s to Northern Development I n i t i a t i v e Trust and BC Housing, pend-
ing ironing out some minor technicalities.
While detailed research will be part of the feasibility study, meanwhile, there are many ways input and ideas can help at this grass-roots stage of planning, Schmid-Meil explains.
He notes a hous-ing facility could be a product of private investment, whether by developers or by its future residents.
The committee wants to hear from as many seniors as possible about their current or perceived future needs, including if you prefer:
• less or more sup-portive care;
• to live at home or in a complex; or
• to purchase a co-op or to rent a living space.
It also wants to know:• what your age and
mobility level is now; and• what services you
see as desirable or essential.

The province is fund-ing a new $5.88-million facility at the Williams Lake Airport for the use of BC Wildfire Service staff and fire-fighting crews.The 22,000-square-foot main building and three upgraded outbuildings will house the Cariboo Fire Centre’s main office, support services, ground crew and air crew facilities, and replace structures and trailers of up to 40 years old. Planned amenities include the regional wildfire co-ordination centre, air tanker and pilot facilities, meeting and training rooms, staff offices, workshops, storage, and provi-sions for firefighters.
BC Liquor Store (BCLS) customers in 100 Mile House and across British Columbia can now donate in stores to support Red Cross relief efforts for wild-fire victims in the province. BCLS will join Red Cross relief efforts in providing evacuees with imme-diate needs, such as blankets, food and water, reuniting fami-lies, and assisting with longer-term needs, such as replacing equipment to return to work, and helping with rent. Donations will be accepted at BCLS checkouts.
The province’s new Medal of Good Citizenship will rec-ognize individuals in B.C. who have made long-term, outstand-ing contributions to the well-being of their communities.The medal reflects generosity, service, acts of selflessness, and outstanding contribution to com-munity life.Nominations for the medal close on Sept. 25.

This year’s Governor General’s Award for scho-lastic achievement at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) was won by Bryce Cumiskey.
The 2015 graduate earned the prestigious academic award by maintaining a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 95 per cent in Grades 11-12.
PSO principal Geoff Butcher says Bryce earned the award for his marks, but is an outstanding example to other students in many ways.
“Bryce is a pretty self-reliant guy. He looks after his studies, he works really hard and there are never any issues with him, he is always on top of things.
“He is one of those self-motivated guys who knows marks are important and he
really enjoys doing well ... he is a good role model.”
Bryce says when he heard the good news recently, he was so thrilled he started shaking.
“It was pretty crazy just to think about it, to know I was chosen as one of the top students. I wasn’t expecting it, for sure.
“With all my friends, we always compete against each other, and they are strong academically as well. So, it is an honour.”
His family has been sup-portive and “definitely helped” him succeed, both with his studies and with awareness of the importance of achieving high marks and
a degree, he explains.“Through all my school,
they’ve always pushed me to get good grades and then, eventually, I just started doing it for myself.”
When his dad heard the news over the phone, he began jumping up and down, Bryce notes.
He says his sister, Kayla,
is a grade below him at PSO and likes to tease him about the difficulty in keeping up with an older brother who is so smart.
Bryce says he studied a lot throughout the school year, and always paid attention to his lessons.
“In class, my top prior-ity has always been ‘listen to the teacher’. That’s my strong suit – listening and learning in class. [My class-mates] used to get mad at me because they would think I was ignoring them.”
Beyond that, his advice to other students is simple.
“Just find out what you want to do and what class-es you enjoy, find a career that encompasses that area, and just go for it – give it all you’ve got. Do not give up because sometimes it is tough.”
Bryce adds he has always been interested in the medi-cal field.
“I enjoy sciences, so that’s what I am going into.... I am taking chemical engineering at University of Alberta in Edmonton.
“So I will focus on chemi-cal engineering, or I might use it to get into medical school to become a doctor or something like that.”

Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School 2015 graduate Bryce Cumiskey, left, was recently presented with the distinguished Governor General's award by principal Geoff Butcher.
All four candidates were asked if they were elected as Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo (KTC) MP on Oct. 19, how would they work to improve relationships with First Nations people within their riding?
Cathy McLeodConservative candidate
Cathy McLeod says she always looks at the role of the MP at many different levels.
“The first level is supporting individ-uals, and certainly having an office in the Cariboo, an office in Kamloops, and outreach times in the North Thompson, we have
the ability to support ... issues around status cards [or] receiving appropriate benefits.”
She adds it involves being trusted to be part of facili-tating solutions, such as at Green Lake, with the issue around the erosion of the heritage burial site and working with the commu-
nity, the property owner, the provin-cial government and federally to facilitate solutions to chal-lenging issues.
“[And in Ottawa it is] advocating for the infrastruc-ture needs, sewer, water, recreational
... [working on] aspirational goals around First Nations
property ... facilitating meetings with some of the appropriate minis-ters’ officials [and band chiefs]."
Bill SundhuNDP candidate
Bill Sundhu says it takes leadership to build trust with First Nations.
“There are three aspects to it, per-sonally. For my entire professional career, I have worked actively with First Nations, and on [their] issues, at a constitutional level and a legal level....
“I think I have credibility based on three decades of work in the courts and with First Nations persons in
the Cariboo, in Kamloops, around the province, and
nationally.”Since he was
nominated a year ago, Sundhu says he has actively met with all of the chiefs and councils in the riding.
“We have had very fruitful and forthcoming discussions
about their concerns and how we can move forward on their issues, but also, how we can move Canada forward, [including in] fun-damental concerns, day-to-day issues, housing, child wel-
fare, education [and] economic partnerships.”
Steve PowrieLiberal candidate Steve
Powrie says he has met with a lot of the chiefs and coun-cils, and he currently has aboriginals on his campaign team.
“The first thing is just establishing relationships
... where you can then freely contact people you have already met.
“A lot of what is happening with the federal Liberals at a Canadian level also applies to what’s happening at a

charges were underway and he could help me get a lawyer.
“He gave me his name and number, and said if I didn’t call him back and proceed with this immediately, I would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Matsuda says she phoned the RCMP and was told to call PhoneBusters, which she did, and was then told to phone the agen-cy involved in the scam.
She phoned the CRA and was told her account was in excellent shape. It was suggest-
ed that she phone the RCMP again.
“I didn’t do that because they have a small force here and they’re not going to be doing that when it is one of thousands.”
Matsuda says she wants area residents to know this isn’t just a big-city problem because the fraudulent calls are coming to the rural areas, too.
“Just be encouraged that the CRA wouldn’t be doing business like that.”
For more informa-tion or to report a scam, visit the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre website at www.antifraudcen
tre-centreantifraude.ca, e-mail to info@anti fraudcentre.ca or call them toll-free at 1-888-495-8501.
According to the CRA, the caller requests
immediate payment by credit card or con-vinces the victims to purchase a prepaid credit card and to call back immediately with the information.
Folks who want to confirm the authentic-ity of a CRA scam can phone: business-related calls – 1-800-959-5525; and individual concerns – 1-800-959-8281.

Interior Health (IH) and the Ministry of Environment (MOE) are continuing to mon-itor the presence of blue-green algae on Horse Lake, south-east of 100 Mile House.
Results are in from the Aug. 17 testing, which was done by IH Environmental Health offi-cer Diana Tesic-Nagalingam, and they confirmed the pres-ence of very low levels of algal toxin.
Courtney Hesketh, IH Environment Health manager, says the algal toxin is less than 2.5 parts per billion.
At the current level, she adds there would be no acute human health effects, such as nausea and diarrhoea.
“We don’t even get excited until there is 20 parts per bil-lion.”
Tesic-Nagalingam conduct-ed her tests at Horse Lake’s popular swimming areas – Skaday Bridge, Cariboo Bonanza Resort and the public boat launch in the Ranchettes – and she had noted the algae bloom appeared to have dissipated in these areas of the lake.
Interior Health will continue to monitor the lake for re-growth.
Residents in the area are asked to report any re-growth of the algae bloom to the IH Health Protection office at 250-395-7676.
The bloom can look like scum, grass clippings, fuzz or globs on the surface of water and blue-green algae can be blue-green, greenish-brown, brown or pinkish-red. The bloom starts as dots in the water, grow in number and then join in strands; it often smells musty or grassy.
Additional information on blue-green algae blooms is available at: http://www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthfiles/hfile47.stm.
The MOE routinely moni-tors the water quality at Horse Lake, Hesketh says, adding this is why the ministry could pro-vide historical data to Interior Health when the algae bloom was discovered.
IH reminds visitors and resi-dents to never drink or cook with untreated water directly from any recreational body of water at any time.
If surface water contains blue-green algal toxins, boiling this water will not remove the toxins.
Residents using sur-face water with disinfection and filtration are safe to use their water.
Low algal toxin level in Horse LakeBlue algae bloom appears to have dissipated in local lake
local level – for instance the Supreme Court rul-ing on the Tsilhqot’in is huge – to establish a sort of baseline for new negotiations on resource development projects.”
As for local impacts, Powrie says there are a number of fairly large resource development projects ... and they are establishing a new
context for negotiation, where First Nations are seen as ... equal partners at the table now.
“Another is the Truth and Reconciliation report ... recommendations.”
Matt GreenwoodGreen candidate Matt
Greenwood says he fully agrees with the Truth and Reconciliation Comm-ission and implementing the recommendations as far as possible.
“So, not ignoring [First Nations] anymore, not trampling their concerns ... it is pretty notable that if we had settled these dis-putes 20 years ago, what they were asking for was relatively modest compared to what it’s become after all this time and all the court battles.”
He adds the national Kelowna Accord was an amazing piece of work
with very far reaching recommenda-tions and like almost all Royal Commissions, it got stuck on a shelf to collect dust for the past few decades while relations have only gotten
worse.“I’d be taking con-
cerns to Ottawa to show this is what people are saying, this is what they are facing, and asking what can we do about it.”
Schmid-Meil adds services could be deliv-ered through a facility using a continuum of care model.
“We are looking for a place near the hos-pital, which could be with a nurse, so people could have indepen-dent living but also can choose whatever, Phase 1, 2 or 3 care, and have whatever they need so ... people can stay where they are [if, and when, their needs increase].”
Living at home might
be supported by things like a delivery service from a food stores and a pharmacy, Schmid-Meil suggests.
He is asking seniors: “If we don’t get a new facility in 100 Mile House, will you have to leave?”
To provide your input on the questions above and what else you need now or foresee as your future care needs and supports, e-mail [email protected], if possible, or else call Konrad at 250-395-2233.

The BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) responded quickly to a wildfire burning northwest of Snag Lake, about 35 kilometres west of 100 Mile House on Aug. 19.
The wildfire was discovered that afternoon during one of the Cariboo Fire Centre’s (CFC) patrol flights. Air tankers surrounded the fire with retardant and contained the fire’s growth at 0.5 hectares.
Three firefighters and a helicopter were first on the scene. Ten additional firefighters and two pieces of heavy equipment soon joined the attack.
The wildfire was called out by firefighters on Aug. 21, says Emily Epp, CFC fire information officer.
The CFC responded to seven new fires between Aug. 17 and 19, two of which are extinguished by Aug. 19. The majority of these fires were “holdover fires” from the previous week’s lightning strikes, she explains.
The current fire danger rating is “high” and “extreme” in the CFC, with only a few areas of “mod-
erate” ratings.Epp says campfire patrols were conducted by
the members of the Compliance and Enforcement Branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands & Natural Resource Operations, and Conservation Officer Service officers during the weekend.
“They checked roughly 300 campsites both east [to ensure campfires were the regulated size] and west [to make sure there were no illegal campfires] of the Fraser River. There was only one unattended campfire, and everywhere else was complete compli-ance, so that was very positive.”
She adds there are no active fires in 100 Mile Fire Zone.
To report wildfires, unattended campfires or open burning violations, call 1-800-663-5555 toll-free or dial *5555 on a cell phone.

Capt. Dale Bachmier, who is the command-ing officer for Rocky Mountain Rangers Royal Canadian Army Cadets Corps 2887, says he is pleased the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #260-100 Mile House is still going to be able to sponsor the local cadet corps.
However, he would be very disappointed if Branch #260 would was closed permanently – not only for the local cadets and the commu-nity, but more so for the veterans who live in the area.
Bachmier says Legions were built for military members when they came back from war, so they would have a place so they could go and talk to like-minded people.
Bachmier says he has served in the Armed Forces in Bosnia, Israel and the North Pole, and his brother has served in Kuwait and Greece – so, they have spent time in their Legions.
“I know the Legions have changed, but it’s still there for [an opportunity to express feelings about their time in military service].
“It’s not there to make money; it’s not there to become a rich facility and have the hierarchy make money. It’s there
to help veterans; it’s there to help people in the community; and it’s there to help the cadets because it is a non-prof-it organization.
“The sole purpose of the Legion right now is to reach out to help veteran affairs to put money into veteran facilities and that kind of stuff.”
Bachmier says the Legion is very impor-tant to veterans who have been through war-time experience.
“They have seen kill-ing or have done killing in the service to our country, and it’s hard for them to talk to some-one who doesn’t know the first thing about
the military and how it functions. It’s hard for them to do that.
“They are [in the Legion] to support each other. They understand what other veterans are talking about and what they’re going through.”
However, Bachmier says veterans don’t want to talk about those war-time experiences and how it has changed them. This is especially true when it comes to talking to people who have not been through the war, he adds.
When people ask him about the worst thing he did or saw during combat, the cadet com-manding officer says: “I actually had to point a rifle fully loaded with a bullet up the spout at a seven-year-old kid.
“How do you express that to someone who has never been in a situ-ation like that? How do you sit there and say, Hey, I’m having a hard time with this ... you know I want to talk to you about it’.

“They look at you and say, ‘I’ve never been in a situation like that; I don’t know’. But, people who have been over there and done it know that, so they are able to talk to you.”
Bachmier says the local Legion is impor-tant because it supports up-and-coming cadets – some of whom will go into military service.
Noting the cadet corps is planning for a trip to Comox this year, which will cost around $10,000, he adds the Legion contributed a lump sum to help pay for the tour.
If the 100 Mile House Legion closed perma-nently, he notes the local cadet corps would need to seek sponsorship from the Forest Grove or Clinton Legions because they must be sponsored by a Legion branch.
Meanwhile, Bachmier says the idea of building a new Legion facility, which would include veteran and seniors housing and a small clubhouse at the front of the building, is an “awesome” idea.
“If something like that was put into place, I guarantee it would be filled,” he says, add-ing the housing units income would help pay for the clubhouse.
Although there are
seniors home and care centres in the commu-nity, Bachmier notes veterans would likely be more comfortable being with other vet-erans because there is camaraderie and they have shared similar life experiences.
If the Legion is closed permanently, Bachmier says it’s going to hurt the community as a whole. He adds the Legion gave out $16,000 in donations last year, and that fund-ing source would be lost.

It seems some dog owners just don’t get it – leaving dogs or other pets unattended in locked cars with the sun beating down on
them can be a recipe for disaster.However, it’s happening all of the time throughout
British Columbia. In fact, the B.C. Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCA) received more than 1,200 calls about animals being left in hot vehicles so far this summer.
It’s possible that we could experience hot tempera-tures in September, so those numbers will likely rise.
The number of distressed animals left in hot vehicles being reported to the BC SPCA so far this summer is already 100 more than the society re-ceived in all of 2014.
This is not just a big-city problem or the goings-on of movie stars that we read about in daily newspa-pers or are reported on national television.
This penchant for leaving animals in hot cars hap-pens in every community of the province – where an owner leaves a pet stranded in a hot vehicle while he or she dashes out for a quick bit of shopping, to have a coffee or to do some banking.
Temperatures rise quickly in vehicles on warm, sunny days and could seriously impair a pet’s health, especially when there is no ventilation.
In fact, a mere 20 minutes in this situation could mean the difference between life and death for an animal.
When pet owners are caught abandoning their pets in this manner, they can be charged under B.C.’s Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
This act carries the toughest penalties in Canada after a few horrendous acts of cruelty to animals, in-cluding the culling of sled dogs after the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Maximum penalties can reach $75,000 in fines and a two-year imprisonment.
The act also gives SPCA officers authority to enter locked vehicles to relieve animals from critical dis-tress. There has been some discussion about allow-ing other enforcement officers to do the same thing.
More and more animal lovers are suggesting any passer-by should be allowed to break into a vehicle and rescue a distressed pet. This likely won’t happen due to liability issues.
Meanwhile, the B.C. Liberal government has decided to consult with the BC SPCA, the B.C. Col-lege of Veterinarians, the Union of B.C. Municipali-ties, municipal governments and police services to increase the options for rescuing animals that have been left in vehicles and are suffering heat-related distress.
The consultations will take place this summer and fall, and the provincial government will consider the options. If there are going to be changes or addi-tional measures, it’s anticipated they would go into effect next spring.
Generally, we hope any changes will help clear up this animal cruelty problem.
Hot pets wrong
I recently travelled with British Columbia New Democrat Leader John
Horgan to communities like Merritt, Ashcroft, Logan Lake, Kamloops, Quesnel and Prince George.
In community after community, people told us that they rely on walk-in clinics and hospital emergency rooms for medical care because they can’t get a family doctor.
Care in these walk-in clinics is limited – and many close their doors by noon after taking in a certain number of appointments.
Throughout B.C., a lack of access to family doctors and nurse practitioners, crowded emergency rooms and hallway medicine have left many feeling like our health-care system isn’t delivering.
It is worse in small and rural communities where emergency rooms may be closed and residents can wait six weeks or more to
see a doctor.Imagine how it feels to
show up at the emergency room with a family member in need only to be greeted by a “closed” sign.
This is the reality people in Logan Lake have been living with for the past 17 months. They can drive to Ashcroft 45 minutes away – only to find that the emergency room there is closed several days a week. Then they have to get back on the highway and travel to Kamloops to find an open hospital emergency room over an hour away.
When it comes to specialist care, not only do families outside of the Lower Mainland have to travel long distances to get the health care they need, they often have to pay the
costs for medical travel out of pocket. If their child or spouse needs care that’s not
available where they live, they have to take time off work and pay for travel and accommodation in another community.
What’s even more frustrating is the B.C. Liberals are wasting precious health
care dollars while at the same time denying British Columbians health care where and when they need it.
The Auditor General just released a report showing the B.C. Liberals wasted $115 million on another failed computer system. This is one of many.
In total, the B.C. Liberals have spent almost $1 billion on failed and broken
computer systems since they became government. That’s nearly $2 for every second they have been in government – wasted.
B.C. families deserve better than they are getting from this government.
We should be investing in the innovations we need to keep public health-care strong, such as team-based care, specialized public surgical clinics and improved access in rural communities. These innovations have all been tested and proven to work in other provinces and here in B.C.
John Horgan and the B.C. New Democrats know how important health care is to you and your family and we’ll continue fighting for the health care you need and deserve.

To the editor:Ray Novak, head of
the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), appears to have lied to the RCMP about his knowledge of the $90,000 cheque to pay for Senator Mike Duffy’s questionable expenses.
This is the implica-tion of a statement given to the RCMP by University of British Columbia professor of Law, Ben Perrin, the former legal counsel to the PMO.
Since Professor Perrin has now con-
firmed his police statement under oath in the Ottawa court-room where the Duffy trial is taking place, there will be renewed demands for the resig-nation of Novak from the PMO.
Despite court tes-
timony and e-mail evidence from the Duffy trial, Prime Minister Stephen Harper contin-ues to assert that Novak did not know.
As the second most powerful person in the federal political sys-tem, one might think
Novak would feel duty bound to address the media directly, but instead he hides and will not speak for him-self.
By refusing to remove this dishonest coward from his position of power, the main politi-
cal issue in this election campaign has become the credibility of the present prime min-ister of Canada – not just the loss of trust in
his judgement.

To the editor:Senior abuse and neglect in senior
home facilities continue even though the provincial government claims the key issues have been addressed in the Seniors Action Plan.
They have focused on over-medicated seniors. Their solutions are medical reviews and better oversight.
The root of this problem is that over-medicated seniors are easier to deal with by insufficient staff numbers.
Has an increase in staff levels been legis-lated?
No.The issue of abuse has been addressed
with $1.4 million of our tax dollars spent on the “Community Response Network.” This puts a priority on the response to abuse, not the prevention of it.
Have they issued a mandatory personality test to ensure the temperamental suitability of an employee.
No.The government admits that one of the
actions that has not been implemented is a licensing review to “identify changes needed to ensure standards of care.”
Are facility operators penalized for a pat-tern of non-compliance?
The Health authorities, system’ of “pro-gressive compliance” allows a facility to commit multiple infractions over the course of years with little more than verbal warn-ings, followed by written ones.
Does this make them accountable?No.The Seniors Action Plan has increased the
focus of inspectors on “high risk” facilities.Focusing their attention without enforce-
ment is a waste of time and our tax dollars. The abuse and neglect of our seniors is large-
ly due to poor management, insufficient staff and a lack of enforcement.
Does the Seniors Action Plan address any of these issues?
No.There were 16,000 Elder Abuse Prevention
Kits distributed in 2013. By 2014, the demand was so high that they had to print 15,000 more.
Has the Seniors Action Plan been effec-tive? Obviously not.

To the editor:For some reason, I cannot let go of the
dream of having TB REACH funded.Here is an organization that with so
little, can do so much. If you are ready to point to the Global Fund and say, “Hey, we’re on it,” please take a closer look.
TB REACH funds new, innovative ideas for fighting one of the world’s oldest dis-eases, whereas the Global Fund needs strong evidence that a certain approach
works before it can support it.Dr. Mark Dybul, the executive direc-
tor of the Global Fund, wrote a letter to the International Economic Development Minister Christian Paradis, stating why the Global Fund needs TB REACH to keep running and why.
TB REACH needs a mere $120 mil-lion over the next five years to stay in the business of reaching the hardest to reach Tuberculosis patients. This is, rela-
tively speaking, a small amount and it will still keep Canada well below Lester Pearson’s recommended 0.7 per cent of Gross Domestic Product for international aid funding.
Would the Tory caucus kindly rise to the occasion and make my dream come true?

On a recent drive through the British Columbia Interior, I passed through McLure and Barriere, communities north
of Kamloops that were devastated by wildfire in 2003.
While these communities have recovered, blackened tree trunks are still visible where fires burned for 75 days and forced the evacuation of 3,800 people.
With the early start to this year’s fire season, the media attention and effects of an unusual spring drought, you might think that B.C. is on pace to match that terrible summer.
You would be wrong. As of last week, area burned and money spent by the B.C. Wildfire Service had only just exceeded the totals for mid-August during last summer’s fire season, which were high but not remarkable.
The number of individual fires is higher this year, but that’s mostly a result of lightning storm patterns. Spending has topped $200 million, as it did last year at this time before finishing just below $300 million.
The 2003 total was above $400 million, and the 2009 season was slightly below that.
Forests Minister Steve Thomson cautions there are still many weeks to go and hot, dry conditions are expected for much of that. Once the damage is done for the year, the ministry reviews the impact on forests and begins assessment of which areas should be replanted and which should be left to regenerate naturally.
Pine forests need fire to regenerate, and the strategy in recent years has been to allow fires to burn out naturally and contain them to protect people and property. Decades of fire suppression, based on viewing Crown forests strictly as a timber resource, helped create conditions for the beetle epidemic that has left vast quantities of dead wood to fuel more fires.
The 2003 fire season set the tone for political debate on forest fire policy that has continued since then. The Opposition
points to recommendations from former Manitoba premier Gary Filmon that removing fuel from around communities is the best protection.
This task has proven impossibly big, especially as rural community tax bases
shrink, but the ideological dance continues in Victoria. The NDP campaigned in 2013 on a promise to double tree planting, and its general approach is to spend more money and hire more staff.
Speaking of political dances, Premier Christy Clark has made a couple of appearances at fire sites where homes and businesses have been threatened or destroyed.
(Today’s big-city media formula is to emphasize danger and promote attacks on premiers of all stripes. If they don’t visit disasters, they are callous and uncaring. If they do, they’re exploiting the situation for photo ops.)
In her first fire scene appearance this summer, Clark warned that drought and
huge fires may be “the new normal” for B.C. as climate warms and shifts. This is great positioning for the government’s plan to attend the latest global climate doom festival in Paris this fall, but it’s not borne out by recent forest fire results.
In terms of dollars spent and area burned, the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were all well below average. Last year and 2009 were substantially above average, but 2008 and 2013 were among the quietest years on record.
Is drought the “new normal” too? The B.C. Liberal government’s own climate change forecast is for increasing overall precipitation, albeit with more rain and less snow.
Snowpacks for southern B.C. were indeed the lowest on record this past winter, but that record only goes back 31 years. And when were high snowfall records last broken?
That would be 2011.Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and

the results of who will be the prime minister of Canada after the 2015 federal election.

RCMP officer wounded during altercationSMITHERS - A Smithers RCMP officer was treated
in hospital for head and foot injuries during an alterca-tion with a suspect who was allegedly trying to break down a locked door at a residence on 2nd Avenue.
Officers were responding to a call from a female in the residence around 8:30 p.m. on Aug. 14 when they encountered the man. Police allege the man charged, threw rocks, and spit at the officers – leav-ing one member with injuries which were treated at the Bulkley Valley District Hospital. The officer was then sent home as a result.
Forty-year-old Warren Allan Beattie is now fac-ing charges of assaulting an officer, assault causing bodily harm, assault with a weapon, resisting arrest, uttering threats, and mischief.
Shortly after he was taken into custody, Beattie complained of back pain and breathing problems and was transported first to Bulkley Valley District Hospital and then to Vancouver General Hospital.
He remains in hospital and in police custody after waiving his right to a bail hearing on Aug. 17.
Beattie was on parole at the time of the alleged offences.
Council pondering rainbow crosswalkPENTICTON - The City of Penticton hasn’t quite
joined in the rainbow crosswalk movement, but it featured prominently in discussions of inclusivity at council’s Aug. 17 meeting. Councillors at times seemed unsure whether adding a rainbow cross-walk to the city’s inventory was the goal, or if they were looking at a wider range of options.
Mayor Andrew Jakubeit noted this conversation about rainbow crosswalks is happening in commu-nities up and down the Okanagan Valley.
“Kelowna has actually installed a rainbow crosswalk, Summerland is looking into doing that,” said Jakubeit, who wasn’t sure what direction Penticton should take.
Coun. Tarik Sayeed, was one of the proponents of creating a rainbow crosswalk, at least as a begin-ning. Sayeed said he had been in conversation with Summerland’s chief administrative officer Linda Tynan and he felt a crosswalk could be done with minimal effort.

100 Mile House Fire-Rescue was called out to a structural fire on Exeter Station Road in 100 Mile House around 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 22.
Fire chief Roger Hollander notes that when they arrived, there was heavy smoke coming from the four-bay truck shop.
He says Fire-Rescue responded with 11 fire-fighters and four trucks.
The 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department was called for backup and responded with seven
firefighters and three trucks, Hollander adds.
“Our crews acted
quickly and we were able to extinguish the fire in one of the bays
where it started.”Hollander notes the
fire found its way into
the trusses of the roof system, which runs above all of the bays.
“So we were able to get up into the trusses and put it out before it was able to catch hold of the entire roof and extinguish it.”
While the flames were doused fairly quickly, he says they were on scene for about three hours because they had to pull down ceilings in one bay and look for hotspots throughout the entire area.
“It does take time to mop up, or overhaul, as they call it. So, that took the majority of time.”
Hollander says the fire appears to have started in one of the bays from an occupant who was doing some welding on a utility trailer, which had a fuel tank still attached to it.
“He got a little too close to it while welding and it ignited the fire. So, it was just a case of welding too close to the fuel source.”
Spark ignites fuel tank
It didn’t take firefighters long to extinguish the fire at a four-bay truck shop on Exeter Station Road in 100 Mile House on Aug. 22. However, mop-up took a while to ensure any hotspots in the ceiling were out completely.

Drinking driver taken off roads
100 Mile House RCMP responded to 106 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Below are highlights of the week’s calls.
Drinking driverOn Aug. 25, 100 Mile
House RCMP were called to a report of an impaired driver on Tidaw Way in Canim Lake.
Members attended and located the vehi-cle in the area. The male driver had symptoms of alcohol consumption.
The driver provided a sample of breath into an approved screening device where the result was a “fail.”
He was issued a 90-day driving prohi-bition and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days. He was also issued a violation ticket for open liquor in a motor vehicle.
Gate removedOn Aug. 24, police
received a call that a gate had been ripped off its hinges on a prop-erty in the 5000 block of Simon Lake Road.
The incident is believed to have occurred sometime after Aug. 21.
Side-swipe MVIOn Aug. 24, RCMP
were called to a motor vehicle incident (MVI) on Highway 97 on the 103 Mile hill.
A vehicle was passing another vehicle when the slower vehicle in the right lane drifted into the other lane causing a side swipe.
The driver of the vehicle that caused the incident did not stop; however, the other driv-er got a licence plate number.
There were no inju-ries and moderate damage. The owner of the offending vehicle will be served several violation tickets at a later date.
Rider dumps bikeOn Aug. 23, police
were called to an MVI involving a motorbike on Watch Lake Road.
The driver had round-
ed a corner and hit some soft dirt causing the motorbike to lose control. He was taken to 100 Mile District General Hospital for upper-body injuries not believed to be serious.
Alcohol and speed were not a factor.
Rollover MVIOn Aug. 23, RCMP
were called to an MVI rollover on Canim Hendrix Lake Road.
When members arrived, they spoke with the male driver who advised he had swerved to miss an animal.
Symptoms of alco-hol consumption were observed and the driver provided a sample of his breath on an approved screening device. The driver blew a “warn.”
He was issued a three-day driving pro-hibition and the vehicle was impounded. A
small amount of mari-juana was also seized.
Impaired drivingOn Aug. 22, police
were called to a report of an MVI on Kitwanga Drive in the 108 Mile Ranch and a truck pulling a recreational vehicle trailer was locat-ed in the ditch.
When speaking with the male driver who advised he had swerved to miss a deer, the mem-ber detected signs of alcohol consumption. The driver provided a sample of his breath in an approved screening device and blew a “fail.”
The driver was arrest-ed for impaired driving and brought back to the 100 Mile House RCMP Detachment where fur-ther breath samples were obtained. The results were more than two times the legal limit of .08.

The driver was later released. His vehicle was impounded for 90 days.
Assault arrestOn Aug. 21, RCMP were respond-
ing to a call of an assault at a residence on Fawn Creek Road.
When police attended the resi-dence, they located the female suspect in her running vehicle. She displayed symptoms of alcohol consumption.
The female provided a sample of breath into an approved screening device. The result was a "fail".
She was arrested for the assault for an unrelated dated incident, and care and control of a motor vehicle
while impaired and over .08. She was released on a promise to appear for court in December.
Boat checksOn Aug. 18, police conducted
small vessel boat checks on Sheridan Lake.
Infractions included fishing with-out a licence, no personal flotation devices, fail to produce vessel reg-istration and fail to produce a boat operators competency card. A num-ber of the operators were fined and directed off the lake.
About half the boaters checked were in compliance. However the infractions observed have been typi-cal of what police are encountering.

The cool tools for this fall’s hunting season are now in stock at local sporting goods stores with some amazing new features and technolo-gies.
Lone Butte Sporting Goods owner Mark Roseboom says the lat-est trends this season include a wider range of women’s gear, from the Savage Arms Lady Hunter rifles sporting pink “Muddy Girl” cam-ouflage and a shorter stock to Rocky hunting boots as durable as the toughest men’s styles.
“There is a lot more availability for women hunters. We have better technology in the boots;
better waterproofing.”Trail cameras have
taken off with com-pounding technology upgrades that leave early
models in the dust, he explains.
“We have a new one out this year [made by Uway] that actually texts
pictures to us on our cell phone.”
That one has been selling out as fast as he can bring them in, but Roseboom says all the Uway trail cams he carries are popular for taking strategic pictures and video day or night in the bush.
The Moultrie Panoramic 150 offers super-wide-angle detec-tion area with three motion sensors and a silently rotating camera, while the D-333 model’s infra-red has a motion-freeze feature that takes the sharpest nighttime images.
Whether it’s an upgrade or a first-time trail cam, there is a model tuned for every hunter’s needs.
He also carries metal security lockboxes to protect a trail cam from theft or damage.
Roseboom notes sci-ence and technology have even improved the latest generations of hunting backpacks, which now come with a lifetime warranty – almost unheard of in the past, for something most folks are used to replac-ing every year or two.
The Badlands back-packs he stocks include one with a lightweight back frame that holds up to 200 pounds; but
whatever the size, he says they also hold up to the wear-and-tear on the trail.
Roseboom notes the electronic and optic technologies offer so much more today, gain-ing the edge they need to excel has hunters are also turning to new scent-killers that mask the smell of humans.
“They are getting better and better as tech-nology is catching up.
“It’s the same with firearms. You don’t have to buy a $2,000 firearm anymore; you can buy
a $400 firearm and it’s going to shoot just the same. It’s just not going to have all the bells and whistles.”
When you’re out hunting for new gear this year, don’t forget to check out the latest spot-ting and rifle scopes, as well as the latest range-finders.
Roseboom notes another of the cool-est new products is an adapter for the Vortex spotting scopes that cap-tures the images with the camera on your iPhone or Smartphone.
By Yvette SaboHave you ever
enjoyed a meal cooked in cast iron over an open flame, or wanted to learn how?
Maybe you have tried to back up your boat or trailer, but found frus-tration got in the way – your partner's frustra-tion, and not yours.
Fly tying, trap shoot-ing, canoeing or using a chain saw and axe are just a few of the courses that have been offered at the British Columbia Wildlife Federation’s (BCWF) Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) program I have attended.
The best part is all equipment is provided, and experience is not necessary. Where else can women have the opportunity to learn outdoor skills, in a safe relaxed non-competi-tive environment, with the bonus of meeting like-minded women?
With meals served family style and dorm accommodations, don’t
hesitate to sign up as an individual, as many women do, and you will be part of the group before you know it.
A great feature of the BOW program is it moves throughout the province each year.
The year it was in Kelowna and trapper Pete Wise was a facilita-tor was a time I won’t soon forget.
I attended my first BOW weekend having completed my firearms safety program and was seeking opportunity for supervised live firing instruction. Not only did I obtain this goal, but found a new love for trap shooting that I have pursued for several years since.
Trap shooting has opened doors for me and given me the opportunity to meet a diverse group of people.
Recently, while in the Chilcotin, I unex-pectedly had the opportunity to partici-pate in the 44th Annual Alexis Creek Forestry
Trap shoot – what a highlight! Thanks to a member of the Lone Butte Fish and Wildlife Association who was gracious enough to lend me a gun.
So, if you’re ready for
a challenge and maybe even do something out of your comfort zone, I highly recom-mend checking out the BCWF’s BOW pro-gram, you will be glad you did.

How to use the chart. IMPORTANT - Your rifl e should be shot from a well-padded rest, under calm wind conditions, resting forearm, not barrel, on pad. Four steps to adjust micrometer and telescopic sights.1. Locate on the chart the exact centre of at least three carefully fi red shots, using same hold and sightsetting. For example, suppose centre of group is small circle in upper right hand quarter of the chart, at the crossing points of lines 3L and 3D.2. Following the vertical line we come to the fi gure 3L. This means that to ring the next group on the vertical centre line requires that you move your rear sight 3 minutes-of-angle to the LEFT. If your sight reads in minutes-of-angle this means you must move it 3 clicks to the LEFT. If in 1/2 minutes-of-angle, 6 clicks, and if in 1/4 minutes-of-angle, 12.
3. Now follow the horizontal line to the edges of the chart and we come to the fi gure 3D. This means that you must move DOWN the sight 3 minutes-of-angle to bring your next group on to the horizontal centre line.4. If your aim was steady and correct on fi rst group and no puff of wind blew any of your shots out of the group, your next group should be in and around the 10 ring. Your rifl e is then sighted in for the range and ammunition used.NOTE: Changing your sight 1 minute-of-angle makes a change inwhere the bullet strikes of 1/2 inch at 50 yards and 2 inches at 200yards. Fire your groups slowly, and let the rifl e cool a few minutesbetween groups. SET YOUR SIGHTS

Ladies enjoying stellar seasonBlessed again with
beautiful warm sun-shine, 32 members of the 108 Ladies Club took to the 108 Golf Resort for a game of Stableford on Aug. 18.
Stableford involves scoring points based on the number of strokes taken at each hole and the objective is to have the highest score fixed in relation to the play-er's handicap.
Maureen Pinkney won the round with 20 points.
Six players tied for second place with 19 points: Joanne Garrow, Clara Koehn, Laverne Martin, Char Wahnschaff, Cathy Waite and Judy Scarrow.
In eighth place, Shirley Boyson and Wendy Foster tied with 18 points.
Three golfers, Eileen King, Carol Ohlund and Janet Roux, tied for 10th with 17 points.
In 13th place with 16 points were eight golf-ers: Sharon Cleveland, Del Gunn, Carol Lidstone, Shelley Larson, Lynda Lewis, Heather Matsuda, Lorraine Scott and Lynn Smeds.
Koehn and Cleveland made birdies on No. 3.
On Aug. 11, 33 mem-bers of the 108 Ladies Club played for long putts, low gross and low net scores at the 108 Golf Resort.
M. Pinkney on No. 13, and Foster and Annie McKave on No. 15, made birdies.
McKave fired the lowest gross score in the first flight. Waite was second.
Garrow was the low-est net shooter in the first flight, followed by Ohlund.
In the second flight, Lorraine McCaffrey scored lowest gross, followed by Maureen Menzies.
Lowest net in the sec-ond flight was Boyson, with Sharon Thompson second lowest.
Foster scored lowest
gross in the third flight and Pauline Weigelt was second lowest.
Lowest net score in the third flight belonged to Smeds and second lowest was Darlene DeAngelis.
In the first flight, M. Pinkney drained the longest putt on No.
12; Menzies made the longest putt on No. 14; Garrow hit the longest putt on No. 16.
The second flight saw Lori Henderson make the long putt on No. 12; Gloria Corno on No. 14; Pauline Weigelt on No. 16.
In the third flight,
Gisela Neuber drained the longest putt on the No. 12 green; Millie Halcro and Angie Wahnschaff made the longest putts on No. 14 and No. 16 respectively.
Thirty 108 Ladies Club golfers went for low gross and low net scores and closest to the
pin and longest drives at the 108 Golf Resort on Aug. 4.
Heather Matsuda shot lowest gross in the first flight, followed by McKave and Koehn.
Lowest net in the first flight was Char Wahnschaff, fol-lowed by Judy Scarrow
and McCaffrey.The second flight had
Leslie Bell fire lowest gross, with Shannon Knapp in second and Lori Henderson in third.
Ann Pinkney scored lowest net in the sec-ond flight, followed by Thompson and Sharlene Anderson.
DeAngelis shot lowest gross in the third flight, followed by Corno and Laverne Martin.
Lowest net in the third flight belonged to Weigelt, followed by Foster and Corrine French.
McKave and Bell hit closest to the pin on No. 4 in their respective flights, while Matsuda, Henderson and Gisela Neuber hit the longest drives on No. 2.
On July 28, 31 mem-bers of the 108 Ladies Club teamed up for a game of “Crystal Ball”, a team game where players take turns with a designated golf ball (“the crystal ball”) and the net score for the player using the crys-tal ball and the lowest net score of the other players is used for the scoring on that hole.
If one of the team members looses the crystal ball the team is eliminated.
The game is a lot of fun and promotes camaraderie among the team members.
The team of Koehn, Bell, Henderson and Garrow scored a 65, and the team of Debbie Case, Ohlund and DeAngelis scored a 65.
In third place was Martin, Corno and Smeds with 66.
Fourth place was Matsuda, M. Pinkney, A. Pinkney and French with 67.
Case made birdie on No. 11.
While Koehn and Larson made birdies on No. 13.
Scarrow, Martin and Smeds hit the long drives in their respec-tive flights.
Ken Alexander photoMaureen Pinkney hit a drive on the No. 1 tee box at the 108 Golf Resort during the 108 Ladies Club Championship on Aug. 23. The 108 Ladies have been enjoying a great season of golf with warm weather and a variety of games every week.

LIFE WITH PETS
Ear issues are quite common occurrence in both cats and dogs. They can be highly irritating for both pets and their owners with constant scratching, head shaking or unpleasant odor from the ears. Ear infections can also be quite painful.A trip to the vet is gen-
erally necessary to prop-erly diagnose your pet’s ear problem. By far the most com-
mon problem in cats is in-festation with ear mites. These creepy little bugs are almost impossible to see with the naked eye (though they look like re-ally impressive under the microscope). Ear mites are quite contagious between cats and they feed on blood, which is why the debris from ear mites looks like coffee grounds. Cats with ear mites often scratch their ears frequently and may also shake their head. Treatment requires med-ication to rid the cat of the adult mites and must be followed up with a second treatment at the
proper time so the mites hatching from eggs will also be eliminated. If there is more than one cat in the household, treatment for all the cats is usually recommended so infestations do not persist.
Unlike cats, dogs rarely get ear mites. Though the symptoms can appear quite sim-ilar--scratching at ears and head shaking--the cause is very different. Ear infections in dogs are often caused by an over-growth of the yeast and bacteria that normally lives in small numbers in the ear canal. Foreign bodies, such as weed seeds or grass awns (fox-tails) cause pain and can be extremely irritating. When this happens, your dog may hold their head to one side or whine when you rub the ear. In dogs with erect ears, the affected ear may droop to one side as a result of the pain.
Dogs and cats have an L-shaped ear canal (ours is straight). Because of is
anatomy, objects are dif-� cult to remove without special equipment. Your veterinarian may also want to sedate your pet for a thorough assess-ment or treatment of ears. Like small children, you cannot explain to a pet that if they just hold very still for a moment, it will be all done. All they know is that their ear hurts and they don’t want you near it. If you have had an ear infec-tion yourself, you will totally understand their point of view.
One of the most com-mon causes of repeated or chronic ear infections in dogs is a food allergy. The medical term is “al-lergic otitis”. If you � nd yourself constantly need-ing to clean your dog’s ears, or if the problem keeps coming back, it is worth investigating this issue with your pet’s vet-erinarian. Dogs with al-lergies often lick or chew their feet (because they itch, not because they are cleaning or groom-ing themselves). Issues with anal glands that cause your dog to scoot on their back end is an-other common sign of allergies. Table foods or treats or chews are com-mon allergens for many dogs. Eliminating these items from your pet’s menu for a minimum of thirty days may help to identify those triggers and provide relief for those itchy and uncom-fortable ears.

A summer officiating camp in Lake Cowichan put on by BC Hockey in August was like a visit to a theme park in the eyes of one young 100 Mile House referee, who enjoyed every min-ute of it and who looks forward to wearing the black and white stripes again this winter.
In a world of never enough and falling numbers, an eager and dependable official is a valuable thing, especial-ly in a small centre like 100 Mile House, where there are only so many bodies to count on in the first place, explains 100 Mile House & District Hockey Association referee and chief Cale Tessaro, who calls 16-year-old Brandon Balbirnie his “go-to-guy” and a “huge piece” of the local ref-eree association.
“He lives at the rink,” Tessaro says. “He just wants to be out there.”
Indeed, it’s hard to overstate just how much Balbirnie enjoys wearing those stripes. He played midget rep hockey last season and he’s also a boxer and cross country runner. He isn’t playing hock-ey this winter though because he wants to devote more of his time to officiating, which he speaks about smil-ing and thoughtfully. He wants to be on the road reffing games in other rinks, and Tessaro has been talking to his junior hockey bosses about this young ref coming up through the ranks.
“The getting paid part is just a perk,” Balbirnie says of the job. “It’s something I definitely
want to consider as a career option. It’s great, it’s something I really like to do. Probably the best part about it is just being on the ice, being involved.”
At the five-day camp in Lake Cowichan, Balbirnie earned his Level 2 certification. The referees wrote a test, had classroom ses-sions and fitness tests.
Balbirnie talks about the importance of the physical endurance component, an aspect of officiating most hockey fans don’t really consid-er. The refs are on the ice for the whole game after all; they don’t get shifts.
“We were learning to skate more efficiently so we don’t blow ourselves out half way through the game,” Balbirnie explains. “There are two-, three-, four-man systems. It takes a lot of the work off. But at the
same time, you’re still thinking all the time, you’re still watching everywhere.”
Balbirnie seems to love every minute of it. However, that said, a too familiar issue comes up again – the verbal abuse officials are subjected to on and off the ice.
It’s something more prevalent in the high-er levels, something Balbirnie is getting a taste of now with ban-tam-level hockey.

“Unfortunately, I’m noticing we’re having a tough time keeping younger officials due to abuse off the ice.”
He men-tions a facetious advertisement at the back of a refereeing guidebook he has that says basically yelling at refs will help your team win because referees really like that.
“It also says we lose about 10,000 every year due to that abuse across Canada,” he adds.
Balbirnie admits offici-ating is not for everybody.
But for him, the bad out-weighs the good.
“I recommend it for anybody who wants to get a little bit closer to hockey.”
Tessaro says it’s around the age of 15 that referees start to drop out and move on to other things. They quit for different rea-sons, but being subjected to
regular bouts of yell-ing and swearing can’t help with keeping them around.
There are strate-gies to maximize the chances of calling a good game, such as
partnering experienced and beginner refs together as much as possible, and giving the younger offi-cials the best possible chance to succeed. Something Tessaro keeps in mind when scheduling games.
“I totally know what [Balbirnie’s] going through,” says Tessaro, who also refereed hock-ey as a teenager and dealt with the same issues that unfortunate-ly persist today.
“He’s got my back-ing. Every ref does. But especially him because I don’t want to lose him. He’s very valuable and I don’t want him to get discouraged.”

Sixty golfers in teams of two took part in the Second Annual Senior Men’s Open, a 55 years and older, 18-hole tournament at the 108 Golf Resort on Aug. 14.
The overall lowest net score belonged to the local pair of Bob Weiduwilt and Dan Hadden.
Eddy Page and Ron Marshall fired lowest overall gross.
Second lowest net was Harish Natha and Fred Roath.
Jeff Kendy and Jim Munden were the second lowest gross-scoring team.
Third lowest net belonged to Vern Bell and Keith Pearson.
Laurie Webster and Bill Klassen shot fourth lowest net.
Fifth lowest net went to the pair of Ron Tonts and Ron Thurston.
Spence Henderson and Erv Hannah were sixth lowest net.
Seventh lowest net was Karam Parsad and James Seeley.
Ron Bisaro and John Hoyrup scored eighth lowest net.
The tourney also had skills events – long drives, closest to the pins, and long putts.
Seeley punched the longest drive on No. 2; Ron Marshall hit the lon-gest drive on No, 16; Mike McMullen drove longest on No. 7; and Bisaro hit the longest drive on No. 17.

Q: What should I know when I am considering an investment property?
A: With low mortgage rates, purchasing a single detached home as a rental can be attractive.• To qualify under residential mortgage guidelines, the property can’t contain more than 4 units.• The downpayment requirement is a minimum of 20% down of the purchase price from your own resources – such as a savings or RSP.• When you apply 20% down, the mortgage lender will obtain default insurance - from CMHC or Genworth, for example. An insurance premium will be added into your mortgage.• To avoid the default insurance premium costs, you can apply 25% down where the mortgage is now considered a conventional mortgage.• What is the vacancy rate? Low vacancy rates can result in longer term tenants and higher rental income.• Look for a positive cash flow. The rule of thumb is the rent should cover your mortgage payment, property taxes, insurance costs and an allowance for maintenance and repairs. Contact me with any questions!

Q: Lots of people ask if stretching is important.A: Regular stretching provides numerous benefits, including enhanced flexibility and adaptability of your musculoskeletal system. As a result, regular stretching helps improve overall mobility and range of motion. Regular stretching helps reduce injury by improving circulation, bringing increased supplies of oxygen and critical nutrients to the large muscles of your thighs and legs and the small muscles of your back. As a bonus, regular stretching helps to reduce stress.
In order to derive the greatest benefits from your stretching program, knowledge of stretching “best practices” is essential. In stretching, we have to give up all our notions of how much we think we should be able to achieve. On any given day, our muscles will be tighter or less tight. On any given day, it will be “harder” or easier to obtain the stretchability of the day before. The best practice is to pay attention to your body, focus on what you’re doing, and work with what you have on a particular day. Using force while stretching will always result in injury. Instead, the activity of stretching calls for a calm, steady, and methodical approach. To learn more check out our website www.100milechiro.com or come on in.Provided by Dr. Andrew Hatch

Q: My ex and I have been � ghting about spousal support and parenting time with our children. At our last court appearance, the judge told me I should get a lawyer. It’s just not fair. Why should I have to get a lawyer to sort out my legal problems?A: Let us be clear at the outset: You do not “have to get a lawyer.” Our legal system allows people to represent themselves in court.
For many people, the real problem about “getting a lawyer,” is that the services of a lawyer are not usually cheap. In fact, many lawyers cannot afford to get a lawyer when they have legal problems. On the other hand, most people, including most lawyers, have heard the expression “a person who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client.” It is not the purpose of this article to address the question of the cost of legal services but it can be said that the fees which one pays to a lawyer usually go to support not only the lawyer but, typically, 3 or 4 people who help the lawyer do his or her job.
The interesting thing about the question above is that, for some reason, people think that the law should be simple. People think that they should be able to “do it themselves.” Most people do not think that they should be able to give themselves medical treatment or do their own plumbing or do their own electrical work or …. The list of things that require expertise is a very long one. Why should solving legal problems be any different?
So, the next time you have a legal problem, by all means solve it yourself. Keep in mind, however, the old saying about what kind of a client you have.

Q: What is the British Columbia Training and Education Savings Grant?
A: The B.C. Government will contribute $1,200 to eligible children through the B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant (BCTESG).

The Creekside Seniors Activity Centre organizing committee did a great job of entertaining several 100 Mile House area seniors when it hosted a Seniors Potluck Picnic at Senior Park on Aug. 16.
Renatta Cargnelutti, who organizes most of the enter-tainment events, says there was a pretty good turnout for the event, which may have been hampered by the hot weather.
Around 11 a.m., folks started showing up at the quiet little park tucked away next to the Good News Centre on Senior Road off Horse Lake Road.
Arrivals started picking up around noon and people stayed until around 3 p.m.
The Cariboo Ramblers kept folks entertained with a wide variety of songs that kept toes tapping and com-
ments, such as: “Do you remember that one?”
Several folks sat on lawn chairs in the shade of the tall trees near the covered pic-nic shelter and chatted, told jokes and laughed.
Others headed out into the sun to play a game of
“golf toss.”The game involves
throwing a couple of balls connected to a bungee cord underhanded to what looks like a drying rack with three pieces of dowelling across it.
It is a team game and the goal is to loop the balls
around the dowelling. There is a lot of friendly kibitzing involved.
Some people played board games under the picnic shel-ter, and everyone agreed it was too hot to play horse-shoes or bocce ball.
Cargnelutti says the pot-
luck luncheon had a nice variety of food and it was enjoyed by everyone.
Senior Park is a perfect setting for an outdoors get-together, as it has a lot of area for parking and tenting. The manicured park also has power, a refrigerator,
running water, flush toilets and fire pits.
Cargnelutti notes they rent the fenced park for group outings, and if any-one is interested using it for a reunion or other family gatherings, they can call Dot Verboom at 250-395-3346.

In a recent report, British Columbia’s Forest Practices Board (FPB) warned that little progress has been made in protecting urban interface areas from catastrophic wildfire.
In 2010, the FPB issued a report and recommendations to government and com-munities to address the risks of wildfire in urban interface areas. This fol-lowup report finds that the work done in the past five years has not addressed the hazard in a meaningful way.
“In 2010, we said that both provincial and local governments need to support forest fuel reduction efforts and homeowners have to take responsibility and FireSmart their proper-ties,” says board chair Tim Ryan.
“Less than 10 per cent of hazardous forest fuels have been treated – at enormous cost to government – and few property owners have taken the steps to pro-tect themselves from wildfire.”
The 2015 wildfire season got off to an early start with the Little Bobtail Lake fire near Prince George threaten-ing properties and the FPB is very concerned that British Columbians are not prepared for what could happen this summer, Ryan adds.
“Government does not have the resources to respond to every wildfire and protect every com-munity that is at risk. The solution has to be in pre-vention and readiness to withstand a wildfire.
The report acknowl-edges that some excellent work has been done and the provin-cial government has committed millions of dollars to the effort.
However, the scale of the problem is so large, and the costs of treat-ment so high, that it’s merely a drop in the bucket, Ryan notes.
“B.C. has been lucky it hasn’t had any cata-strophic urban interface fires since Kelowna in 2003, but that has been luck and nothing
more. Today, Kelowna is an example of what communities can do to protect themselves.”
The report urges the public to take personal responsibility and ask local politicians and fire departments what the
risks to their commu-nity are, to support the return of prescribed fire to reduce forest fuels, and to take simple steps to FireSmart their own properties.

Obituaries SALLENBACK
Owen
It is with heavy hearts the family announces the passing of their beloved husband, dad, brother and papa, Owen Sallenback on August 22, 2015. Owen passed away
in his Canim Lake home with his wife Valerie and his family by his side after a long battle with prostate cancer. Although his time was cut short, Owen had a full life. He was born on March 6th, 1941 and his family moved to Ocean Park in 1955 and it is there at Camp Alexandra where he met his wife of 50 years, Valerie. They raised their family in the area while he dedicated a career to the Vancouver Fire Department. After building their dream home with their boys, they retired to Canim Lake in 1995 where they spent their wonderful retirement years. He loved nothing more than spending time with his family and friends and sharing great stories and laughs. He will truly be missed. Everyone that knows him will remember him for his strong work ethic, his innate kindness, his vicious sense of humour and the amazing contrast between his strength and sensitivity. He was an avid outdoorsman who spent a lot of time � shing and snowmobiling with friends and family and spent many hours in the gardens with his wife. He will not only be missed by his family, but the whole community who knew him. He was a sel� ess man who has left a legacy of honorability and integrity – a humble man who had the most generous heart and a � erce love for his family.Owen is survived by his wife Valerie; his four boys Warren, Ian (Karrie), Jason and Kevin (Leanne); sisters, Carol, Bev, Sandy (Johnny-Cry), Wendy (Karl) and Pauline; and his two grandchildren Isabella and Scarlett. He also had many nieces and nephews that he loved very much. He was a wonderful role model to all that knew him and we will all miss him forever. The family would like to extend their gratitude to the caring and professional staff at 100 Mile Hospital. There will be no service, but in lieu of � owers, please send donations to the
100 Mile District Hospital at:100 Mile District General Hospital
555 Cedar Avenue South100 Mile House, BC V0K 2E0
The family would also like to encourage all that knew Owen to send their favourite stories of Owen and/or condolences to [email protected]

Come with Me AUTHOR UNKNOWN
The Lord saw you getting tiredAnd a cure was not to be,
So He put his arms around youAnd whispered ‘Come with me.’
With tearful eyes we watched you sufferAnd saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,Your beautiful smile at rest.
God broke our hearts to proveHe always takes the best.

By Diana ForsterThe number of
entrants and entries were both a little down at the 58th Annual Bridge Lake Fair on Aug. 16, but well over 500 visitors had a great time.
The Grand Aggregate Trophy winner was Mandy Lipka with 89 points, while Celeste Faessler was close behind at 82.
Entrants whose min-imum of four entries were of particularly high quality included 11-year-old Ashlee Arthurs with 97 per cent, four-year-old Alex Swope (95 per cent), Frank Jerema (87 per cent), Cindy Valley (83 per cent), C. Faessler (76 per cent) and Arlene Henzel (75 per cent).
The Granny Larson Memorial Trophy for Best of Show Quilt went to Mieke McIntosh’s stunning, The Rhu Castle Cup for Best of Show Wine, donated by the late Clark Connaty, was awarded to C. Faessler’s U-brew assist-ed dry, red wine.
Not for the first time, Pat Pasanen won the Art Grange Memorial Trophy, donated by Patricia Spencer, for Best of Show Collection of Garden Vegetables.
The Hi-Point Preserving Trophy, donated by the Kisby Family, went to Lipka with a total of 20 points, while Sharon Stewart earned 16 points.
This year’s Bridge Lake Fair Roving Trophy was for Best of Show Fine Arts &
Hobbies. The judge had great difficulty deciding between Gordon Smith’s beau-tiful birdhouse, and Jim Wishart’s intricate “Gears,” but finally awarded the trophy to Wishart.
The Student Hi-Point Trophy, donated by the Interlakes Cattlebelles, was won by eight-year-old Ashlee Arthurs with 32 points and 97 per cent, while Danickah Pasanen placed second with 32 points and 67 per cent.
No corporate com-petitions were held this year. Instead, the fair provided a cake decorat-ing prize of $25 to each of three age groups.
D. Pasanen won the 9-11 age group; C. Faessler’s stunning piano was deemed best of four entries in the
adults’ class; and there were no entries in the 12-14 age group.
For the third time, D. Pasanen won the candy jar guess with a spot-on guess of 67.
There were three intriguing floral container contest entries in old tackle or tool boxes.
First place and a $50 gift certificate from Horse Lake Garden Centre went to Laurie Bishop.
Elaine Kisby won $25 from La Petite Diane Antique Restoration.
Henzel won $10 from Danco’s Hoof Trimming.
Prizes paid out totalled $1,023 of which $27 was donated back to Bridge Lake Fair and a further $12 donated to Roe Lake & District Recreation
Commission.In addition to Paul
Faessler’s Coffin Dodgers who always play all day, the Bridge Lake Fair was delight-ed to welcome Richard Minato who played two hours of golden old-ies inside the hall, and Jason Ruscheinsky who entertained outside for more than an hour. The Tai Chi Club also gave a demonstration.
Organizers were delighted to receive an unexpected visit from Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod and her hus-band.
The Bridge Lake air happily welcomed back “Our Lady of Spain’s” beautiful dancing, and expert Saori weav-er Siana Kelly who demonstrated all day and instructed many
youngsters.Children and adults
alike had a ball with the cakewalks run by Linda Farthing, and the old-fashioned races under the auspices of Teen Space. Kudos must go to Farthing and Kim Walters who baked four beautiful cakes, and dozens of cupcakes for those who did not win a cake.
Alpaca Story Ranch’s Joni Head was on hand with a beautiful grey alpaca and two-week-old black baby; New-Cal Rabbit Farm encouraged the chil-dren to pet the bunnies; and Joanne Seabloom of Seabloom Mini Ranch, brought her delightful little horses.
The door prize, a set of three beautiful bowls from “Pottery by Ramona,” went to Colleen Granberg of Calgary – who is related to our local family.
Highway 24/Interlakes Lions and Bridge Lake Community School kept the visitors well fed and happy.
The silent auction of items donated by gen-erous local businesses raised $446 to help defray Bridge Lake Fair expenses.
The closing auc-tion of donated edible entries and a mystery gift raised $284.75, $200 of which goes to Roe Lake & District Recreation Commission to thank them for free use of Interlakes Hall and grounds.
Diana Forster is the Bridge Lake correspon-dent.
Mandy Lipka takes home the Bridge Lake Fair grand aggregate title
At the 58th Annual Bridge Lake Fair on Aug. 16, Mandy Lipka, shown here with her wee daughter, Luciana, won two trophies – the Hi-Point Preserving and the Grand Aggregate.

Carole RooneyFree Press
A group of local quilters were thrilled when
Quilts of Valour Canada (QOVC) founder Lezley Zwaal visited 100 Mile House recently.
The Edmonton resi-dent was a special guest at a potluck dinner hosted by local QOVC quilter Nancy Meville, and attended by another dozen or so members in the Horse Lake Quilters guild.
The QOVC now dis-tributes quilts primarily to veterans, but when it was formed, it distributed them only to injured sol-diers, like its counterpart society did in the United States.
Zwaal said the grow-ing numbers of veterans, many with war injuries – whether physical or mental health issues – led the QOVC to branch out to include vets as quilt recipients.
“There is no formal nomination, it is an e-mail that says, ‘Hey, my dad is a veteran’ [and so on].”
The latest recipient of a Quilt of Valour (QFV) in Edmonton, James Guignion, was found at the last Alberta election polls, Zwaal added.
“The daughter and mom came in and the dad is a 93-year-old [who] is so proud to be a veteran and still able to
vote. He fought for his vote, right?”
Zwaal said she got the idea for the Canadian society, which she for-mally founded in 2009,
after she visited three seriously injured soldiers in an army hospital in 2006 (which required a padre’s help to get her through its high-security
doors), and presented them with quilts she had made herself.
The experience affected her profoundly, particu-larly in seeing how young
many of them were, she noted.
It also gave her a new appreciation for what it means to soldiers to be recognized and given
a gift without strings attached, when they are more used to giving of themselves than they are to receiving anything.
“They don’t even know what to say ... or why someone they don’t know from a hole in the wall would bother giving them a quilt. And that happens over and over, to this day; it is ‘why am I getting this quilt’?, or ‘how much do I have to pay for this’?
“And when it comes to [these] veterans, no one has ever said ‘thank you’ from a civilian perspec-tive. They talk about the ‘grip and grin’ where it is: ‘so you’re retired; con-gratulations’, and a lot of them have said that this means so much more.”
Zwaal explained she presented a few more
quilts to injured soldiers in Edmonton in 2009, after contacting Catherine Roberts, founder of the Quilts of Valour Foundation in the U.S., who hooked her up with a local contact.
However, when she attempted to distribute more across Canada, Zwaal experienced dif-ficulties in getting the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to accept dona-tions for hospitalized soldiers, she noted.
Zwaal said she then brought her story to the Edmonton Journal and Global News, and the media attention was quickly followed by a call from the Department of Defence seeking some basic clarifications.
Quilts of Valour founder visits guildCompassionate quilters convey warmth to veterans
Quilts of Valour Canada founder Lezley Zwaal, left, of Edmonton, and Horse Lake Quilters guild members Marilynne Brager and Nancy Meville show off two of the latest donations made by the local guild for veterans.
Quilts made locally are legitimized with an official label which will include the name and rank of the recipient.

Shortly afterward, she was contacted by Mary Ewing – now director of the QOVC – asking how she could help.
Others jumped on board to get the society going, particularly in British Columbia and Ontario, and to date, QFV has now distributed 6,000 quilts to CAF members and veterans across the country, with a goal to double that number by 2018.
Today, Zwaal said she often returns home to find quilts piled up at her door, and collects many others from Edmonton and around the country.
Meville noted the local guild makes many quilts that they donate directly to veterans in the South
Cariboo, but any QOVC quilts from here or across Canada all feature per-sonalized labels.
Most communities distribute quilts to their local vets first, so QOVC co-ordinates the supply of labels, and tracks the numbers given out and the overall success of the program.
After corresponding and swap-ping quilts for the veterans with her for many years, these quilters were overjoyed to meet in person for the first time, along with local member Marilynne Brager.
The three greeted each other warmly, exchanged hugs, and then trooped off to join the rest of their guild of compassionate quilters for dinner.

Two years ago, a Swiss teenager made a Canadian friend at Ruth Lake, while visiting her grandmother who lives in Forest Grove.
This year, Sofie Brandli and Renée Van Osch rekindled their friendship despite the language barrier. They reconnected and enjoyed each other’s company at the Redneck Olympics in Legion Park in Forest Grove on Aug. 8, and met up
again the following day at the Regatta on Ruth Lake – catching up on what has been happen-ing in each other’s life since they last met.
’94 Lions newsThe total funds raised
at the Redneck Regatta on Aug. 9 were $2,203, and it will benefit vari-ous projects within the community.
Sandy Foster and Doug White, the win-ners of seventh place as “White Trash,” raised more than $600, with the Home Hardware Store entry “Saggy Bottom Boys” contrib-uting an additional $100.

Katalin Kovacs, originally Croatian but brought up in Hungary, is a Horse Lake resi-dent and guest artiste in Bridge Lake Library’s Community Showcase for September.
Always fond of art, Katalin was a kin-dergarten teacher in Hungary for 30 years, teaching the children how to paint. She also illustrated poems and fairy tales.
She moved here in 2004, and in 2007, she needed “something to do,” and began vol-unteering with the Parkside Art Gallery in 100 Mile House.
Thereafter, she took classes with local artists, such as Patsy Granberg and Sharon Isaaks, as well as in Kamloops.
Her favourite medi-um is watercolour, but she also uses soft pas-tels in combination and, occasionally, acrylic.
Her preferred subject is landscapes, of which she has written: “I am impressed with the beauty of the Cariboo: the water, the rocks, the sky, and the scen-ery of mountains, lakes and spectacular sunsets. “Through my painting, I hope I can share all my
memories and favourite places….”
Tournament successfulThe annual Magoo/
Moore Memorial Funball Tournament, which has been running for some 40 years, was a resounding success with 13 teams participating over the weekend of Aug. 8-9.
The trophy went to Williams Lake’s Mixed
Fry Bread, followed by Bridge Lake’s Blue Roof captained by Mark Paddison.
A team from Vancouver placed third.
Co-ordinator Barry Larson said it was a great weekend, and he greatly appreciated the assis-tance of Craig Charlton and Craig Simpson, and “all the ladies [from the Roe Lake and District Recreation Commission] who kept
us fed and hydrated.”

to Isabelle Poirier for today (Aug. 27); and 13 huge balloons go to Dirk Verheul who becomes a teenager Aug. 28.

Most � res occur in residential buildings between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when occupants are most likely to be asleep. Your � rst line of defense is � re preparedness.
Here’s � ve things you can do to increase your chance of survival in a � re:
• Install smoke alarms on every story of your home and outside sleeping areas. Be sure to test them monthly, clean them every six months and replace batteries in spring and fall. Having working � re alarms can cut your chance of dying in a � re in half!• Have a � re escape plan for your family and practice it. A small � re can spread rapidly - you may only have minutes or seconds to escape. When going over the details of your escape plan, check windows and doors to ensure all open easily. Know your local emergency number (911). Never stop to gather belongings or reenter a home after safely outside.• When renovating, consider using � re-rated, noncombustible
products. Your choice of insulation, for example, can be vital. Stone wool insulation, like that produced by Roxul, resists temperatures up to approximately 2,150 F. When directly exposed to � re, it will not off-gas, contribute to toxic smoke or promote � ames. Fire-resistant building materials can give you extra time to escape when seconds count.• Purchase a multi-use � re ladder for each bedroom in your home and practice using it. A � re ladder may be your only escape option if � ames block critical exits.
• Place � re extinguishers on every level of your home, especially in high-risk areas like the kitchen, near � replaces and in the garage. Use only for small, contained � res that are not spreading rapidly. Know how to operate your extinguisher before an emergency occurs using the PASS method: Pull pin, Aim low, Squeeze lever and Sweep from side to side. The safest option is always to evacuate your home and call for help.Fire prevention measures are a serious matter in every home.

The need in our community is again
CRITICALand YOU CAN DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.There’s a FOOD CRISIS in the South Cariboo.
The South Cariboo Food Security Committee has put out a plea for food donations
to support the hungry families and individuals in need this summer.
Local gardeners with extra produce in their plots, and the general public through non-perishable donations, are
being asked to help with this food crisis.Children, youth and families are challenged daily in having
enough to eat, especially nutritious food.With the food bank being on emergency hampers during the summer and the ever increasing need for food, our
shelfs are really low and we still have over two months to go before the Food Bank returns to their regular schedule.The following staples would be greatly appreciated at the
Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre, Loaves and Fishes and the Womens Centre
For more information, or to donate, please contact
Loaves and Fishes 250-395-2708
100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre 250-395-4093
Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre 250-395-5155

• Pasta • Macaroni and Cheese • Canned Soup• Canned Beans • Peanut Butter (small jars) • Oatmeal
• Rice • Size 2 and Size 5 and 6 diapers • FormulaAnd anything else that a community member might have as a food donation. We will make sure that all donations are used by those in need. We also all greatly appreciate
fresh food including eggs, bread, vegetables and fruit
The newly established Community Place Garden at First St. & Birch Ave. is now harvesting; so help with watering, weeding and picking would be greatly appreciated; to learn your way around the garden, come down there on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. and speak to one of the co-ordinating
gardeners. That produce is there for the bene� t of the vulnerable population, and those who are hungry.

By Diana FosterThe sun was not shin-
ing, but the temperature brushed 30 C for the 32nd Annual Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department (DLDVFD) fishing derby, Aug. 1-2.
Fish numbers were down a little with 133 fish being reeled in; and ticket sales numbered 341.
Fish prizes were awarded to eight places in each category, and every child who caught a fish won a prize, before door prizes were drawn.
Of special note is 11-year-old Owen West who won a fishing rod for his 1 lb. 1 oz. rainbow trout. Then, a smaller child was upset because there were no fishing rods left, so Owen handed his over. What a great kid!
Of 89 lake trout, the largest, at 27 lb. 13 oz., was Reg Klinger’s
of Clearwater. Bill Grisdale’s fish weighed 11 lb. 1 oz., and Mario Silva’s 9 lb. 14 oz.
First prize amongst 21 rainbow trout caught went to Diane Picton’s 2 lb. 10 oz. fish, followed
by Keith Poitras whose fish weighed the same but came in later. Third prize went to Logan Ramsey’s 2 lb. 8 oz. rain-bow.
Kokanee numbered 23 with first prize going
to Reg Inglehart’s three-pound fish. Jason Kump’s weighed 2 lb. 11 oz., while Maris Ramsey’s weighed 2 lb. 8 oz.
The 140cc Pitster dirt bike, generously donated by Krankies Garage and Paterson Septic Service, was won by Dona Guertin of Penticton.
Visitors also enjoyed seeing a dozen or so Show ’n Shine vehicles, which had been arranged by the Deka Lake & District Ratepayers’ Association (DLDRA.)
They also brought in The Class Mates (Gail Potter, Sandy Amy and Brad Potter) to per-form. The DLDRA did a roaring trade catering breakfast and supper, and voiced their appre-ciation for the support, as did DLDVFD.
Sunday derbyOver at Sulphurous
and Hathaway lakes, 418 tickets were sold for their Aug. 2 annual fishing derby, and they weighed in 18 fish.
First prize went to Pat Nash’s 2 lb. 7 oz. kokanee. Jack Schaffer’s 3 lb. 1 oz. laker took second; and third was Maria Leblanc’s nine-ounce rainbow out of Hathaway.
Prizes for children’s pike minnow went to Jayme Johns, Tyson Blight and Nate Vernon.
The pontoon boat was won by Kathi Conway of Moosehaven Resort.
Organizers thanked everyone for their sup-port, reported a near record attendance, and noted that children’s games and face paint-ing really “brought the derby to life” for the youngsters.
Diana Forster is the Interlakes correspondent.
Fishing derbies enjoyed
Diane Picton was presented with her first-place prize by firefighter Dalton West at the 32nd Annual Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department Fishing Derby on Aug. 2. She reeled in a two pound 10 ounce rainbow trout to win the derby.
