Class of 2015 students Dawn Caldwell, left, and Chelsea Van Dorpel were striking in their prom dresses when the Peter Skene Ogden Secondary Procession arrived at the South Cariboo Rec Centre on May 30. It was a full day for the grads, as some started with photographs at Centennial Park, then rode through town in the procession, prior to promenade at the arena, dinner in the curling rink and finishing up at the arena for the Las Vegas-style dry grad party.

A British corporation, which is buying up thousands of hectares of farmlands in British Columbia to convert them into deciduous forests, was a hot topic at the North Central Local Government Association (NCLGA) convention last month.

Cariboo Regional District (CRD) chair Al Richmond was a delegate at the convention, where concerns about this large foreign company that is “very active” in buying agri-culture land in the Cariboo and Vanderhoof areas “dominated a lot of conversations.”

Reckitt Benckiser Inc. (RB) is a United Kingdom-based manufactur-er of cleaning products and health aids that has bought up more than 7,000 hectares of farmland from Prince George to Quesnel in the past few years, planted it with trees and

then freezing it up with covenants to prevent logging for at least 100 years.

It did so to achieve European carbon offsets and improve public opinion, and now it’s looking to buy up more Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) property in the Cariboo, Richmond explains.

“[This] is a company that is active-ly looking at agricultural land in the Quesnel area ... so there is concern that this has certainly become a huge issue for folks where agricultural land is potentially taken out of food production, [for which] there is a limited area.”

Richmond says the concern and talks centred on the reforesting of arable land suitable for producing hay, alfalfa, and other feed crops, when there are other areas available that are not as agriculturally productive.

“But to see that land that was developed for agriculture turned into forest land just for large corporations

to purchase carbon credits, I think there are strong feelings about that.

“I think it’s going to become an issue very quickly for [the Union of B.C. Municipalities], and for the local governments in the Cariboo, and certainly for the folks we heard in the Vanderhoof and Peace River areas.”

When it comes to offsetting car-bon emissions to reduce global warming, Richmond says some peo-ple might prefer to see the money that corporations spend on planting trees actually go toward reducing emissions for a stronger and more long-term environmental benefit.

“In some cases, that could take a long time to happen, but I think the general consensus I heard ... at NCLGA is that we should not be tak-ing good, food-producing farmland and turning it into growing trees for the large corporations to get carbon credits.”

The province could perhaps work with companies like this to reforest areas devastated by mountain pine beetle or after general harvesting, he adds.

“With the shortage of money for silviculture in the forest sector ... maybe there is a means of looking at how they can contribute to [planting trees in] our forests in order to get carbon credits.”

Richmond explains other parts of B.C. have seen this issue sooner, so they have more experience in work-ing on it.

A recent CRD board resolution was to collaborate with the other regional districts and municipal part-ners to look at what is going on with these ALR lands being purchased in RB’s Trees for Change British carbon credit program, he adds.

“I am trying to set a meeting up for all the chairs in the north to meet, probably in early June.”

The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has authorized up to $5,000 of feasibility funds to look into a potential framework and cost for shared highway rescue ser-vices in the South Cariboo. The proposal includes all of electoral areas G, H and L and the District of 100 Mile House. If the study shows the project is feasible, a referendum will ask residents if they wish to contribute to the 100 Mile Highway Rescue Services at an estimat-ed annual operations cost of about $30,000-$40,000 (based on preliminary investiga-tions).

District of 100 Mile House council has approved a develop-ment permit for the construction of a new entrance tower at Central GM.The applicant, Tom Bachynski, proposed to demolish the existing triangular entrance tower and replace it with a new rectangular entry tower with blue metal cladding to comply with GM Canada’s new image program.

Council approved a development permit for the redevelop-ment and upgrade of the exterior build-ing facade at Coach House Square from the north side of Save-On-Foods to the former KFC store.It includes a new facade along with two large tenant signs (for unspecified brands), and was applied for by an architect on behalf of the complex owner Anthem Coach House Square Ltd.

The Village of Cache Creek is accepting donations to assist in the aftermath of the disastrous May 23 flash flood through a crowdfunding platform sponsored by Black Press.

The blackpress4good fund-ing platform is accessed online at blackpress4good.com and is being promoted through its community newspapers, including the 100 Mile House Free Press.

The heavy rainfall that swept through the Village displaced more than 130 residents in 63 homes and destroyed two houses, leading Village of Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta to declare a state of emergency.

Ranta noted Councillor Wyatt McMurray was chairing a funding committee. It will soon set criteria for how to apply for some the money raised, and determine who will be recipients.

In the South Cariboo, Royal Lepage 100 Mile Realty realtors donated $1,000 to assist families displaced in the flood.

Office manager Ron Kelly noted

that when he passed along the cheque, he heard Ranta say provincial relief is available to people who lost their homes.

However, he added, it only covers up to 80 per cent of their repairs, with the property value excluded.

“This will leave many of them in bad shape. One lady said she is eli-gible for $180,000 and her mortgage balance is $204,000.”

The 100 Mile House Free Press staff has donated $200, and challenged other Black Press community news-papers to meet or beat that amount.

Many people affected by the flood lost almost everything they owned, and most of them were told this is not covered by insurance.

Anyone who wants to donate to the Cache Creek fund can go to https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/8zs29.

More information on the Cache Creek recovery effort and status is online at www.cachecreekvillage.com.

As of June 3, $57,912 has been raised to help the Cache Creek resi-dents.

In the aftermath of the flash flood that wrecked havoc and resulted in millions of dollars in damage to homes and businesses in Cache Creek on May 23, individuals, companies and communities are stepping up to raise money for the victims.

The residents of 100 Mile House and beyond are prime examples of folks providing money through fundraising efforts to help people who are trying to pull their lives back together.

South Cariboo residents can sup-port the cause at a fundraiser in 100 Mile House tomorrow (June 5).

The McGinley Family Troupe, from the Theatre Royal in Barkerville, will perform a Musical Revue benefit for Cache Creek flood victims at Martin Exeter Hall (behind the Red Coach Inn) in 100 Mile House.

Amy Newman and Richard Wright are the principals with Newman & Wright Theatre Company, and this is their 12th year running the popu-lar variety shows and dramas at the Theatre Royal in summer.

Theatre “benefits” have been a tra-dition in Barkerville since the first days of theatre in the 1860s, Wright notes.

He adds the company is very aware of small town British Columbia, as it has travelled extensively on three spring tours and one summer-long tour in 2008, visiting many small towns in the province.

“When we heard of Cache Creek’s disastrous floods, we realized there was one way we could help,” Wright says.

“We could not pick up shovels, but we could help raise support and funds.”

With the immediate support of

Chris Nickless and the 100 Mile House Free Press, he adds the idea came together and all the cast and crew at Theatre Royal jumped on board.

“It is one way we can give back for the support we receive from all those who visit Barkerville.”

Doors open for the Musical Revue and auction at Martin Exeter Hall at 6 p.m. Admission is cash by donation at the door.

The fundraising auction begins at 7 p.m. and Barkerville and 100 Mile House merchants have contributed auction items, and the cast is donating its time, Wright explains.

People wanting to donate an item for the auction, can contact Shelly Morton, South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce executive director, at the Chamber office at 250-395-6124, or e-mail manager@southcariboo

chamber.org. The Musical Revue begins at 8 p.m.,

so be prepared to enjoy some great entertainment and help our southern neighbours.

The sponsors are the 100 Mile House Free Press, Barkerville Historic Town, Newman & Wright Theatre Company, the Red Rock Grill, The Goat, Country 840, CaribooRadio.com and the District of 100 Mile House.

British Columbia seniors advocate Isobel Mackenzie recently released a report on seniors hous-ing in the province, along with 18 recom-mendations for improvement.

She calls for increases to seniors’ rent subsidies, a commit-ment from the province to address the lack of rural seniors housing, a fundamental redesign of assisted living, and more action on getting seniors into the residen-tial-care facility of their choice.

District of 100 Mile House Councillor Ralph Fossum sits on Mackenzie’s provin-cial Seniors Advocate Council of Advisors, and also takes an active role on the local AGE-FRIENDLY Rural Community Initiative.

“The report gives an excellent summary for anyone to ... get a feel-ing of what the seniors’ housing situation is across the province.”

There is “no ques-tion” more housing of all kinds will be needed

for B.C.’s aging popula-tion, Fossum adds.

Mackenzie highlights “overwhelming evi-dence” of the financial need for low-income

seniors living independently, and calls on the provincial government to increase subsi-dies from the Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER) pro-gram.

“I am very concerned that some seniors are going without some of the basics in order to meet their rent obliga-tions,” she says. “This can have a significant impact on the health and well-being of seniors.”

Fossum says he strongly agrees with

increasing the SAFER, but some other aspects in the report will be more difficult to imple-ment in rural areas.

“[Mackenzie’s] first point is trying to keep people in their homes longer, and that is what seniors want. The prob-lem with that is it might work better in larger centres....”

For rural B.C., Fossum says he sees transportation as the biggest stumbling block for seniors to access daily needs and in pro-viding them with home support.

“I think more seniors in the rural areas, like the Cariboo, are going to be faced with a move before people in [cit-ies].”

He strongly supports Mackenzie’s “bold” new

recommendation for a Homeowner Expense Deferral Account program that would allow low-income seniors to defer pay-ments, such as hydro bills, home insurance and major repairs.

She suggests the prov-ince could pay these expenses on behalf of the senior homeowner and then collect the money back when the house is sold.

“They may need a new roof, but not have sufficient cash flow to cover that, and that forces them to consider selling their place.”

Fossum adds hous-ing is important to all seniors – the 93 per cent who live at home, and those who live in a care home – and many fac-tors can change with the

aging process.“Needs can change

and sometimes [they change] quickly. The report is valuable in that it considers all seniors, their needs, their chal-lenges, etc.”

Fossum says he hopes the provincial gov-ernment will follow through on the advo-cate’s recommendations in the report.

“I think they have got a basis here for doing some work and taking action.”

Cariboo Regional District (CRD) chair Al Richmond brought forward and gleaned some interesting information at the recent North Central Local Government Association’s 60th AGM and Convention in Prince George.

He was among the more than 300 mayors, councillors, regional directors, First Nations representatives and industry stakehold-ers who met May 6-8 to have their local resolutions tabled and debated, and to discuss hot-button issues for their communities.

The forestry-related resolution submitted by the CRD and its member municipalities received widespread and unanimous sup-port from across British Columbia, Richmond says.

“The intention was to try to ensure the timber that BC Timber Sales [BCTS] has does, in fact, get to market and is available to be pro-cessed.”

A defined portion of the annual allowable cut (AAC) in the 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Quesnel forest dis-tricts is allocated to the BCTS.

Richmond says this artificially drives up the cost of purchasing timber for the other licensees to put it into production because BCTS isn’t always mak-ing that fibre available all the time, and instead

withholds it.“That resolution cer-

tainly has resonated; it has a lot of support throughout the North.”

Now, the resolution

will go for consideration and debate at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) annual con-ference this fall in Vancouver, along with

all the other resolutions from across the prov-ince.

“We’ll be speaking to it on the floor at UBCM.”

If the local forestry resolution passes there, UBCM will then lobby the provincial govern-ment to deliver the full AAC under the BCTS, and to perform a com-plete science-based inventory of the avail-able timber supply.

Timber sales resolution succeedsNCLGA votes unanimously in favour of CRD’s proposal

By Diana ForsterCariboo Regional

District (CRD) protec-tive services manager Rowena Bastien chaired an important infor-mation meeting at Sulphurous Lake Fire Hall on May 16

The meeting centred on the potential amal-gamation of Sulphurous Lake Distr ict Volunteer Firefighters’ Association (SLDVFA) and Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department (DLDVFD.)

Bastien said strict new rules are now in place for all firefight-ers, whether they are paid or volunteer, and similar training is mandatory for all. She added “mutual aid” covers all local fire departments.

The meeting estab-lished that because the original DLDVFD bylaw allowed for expansion into Sulphurous and Hathaway lakes, the DLDVFD’s approval is already in place.

Therefore, the only people voting in the upcoming referendum will be Sulphurous/Hathaway residents.

CRD Area L Director Brian Coakley, DLDVFD deputy chief Ted Weight, and DLDVFD training offi-cer Steve Colbert were also on hand to answer the many questions that arose.

The congenial meet-ing confirmed that Sulphurous residents will retain full use of the community section of their fire hall that would also come under

the control of the CRD.It was stated that

residential fire protec-tion property taxes for Sulphurous/Hathaway lakes would be at the same rate at Deka’s.

It was also noted that all fire protection taxes collected are “fire-walled” – must stay within the immedi-ate area and cannot be moved to any other area

or body.A closing show of

hands indicated that all but one person in the capacity audience were in favour of amalgama-tion.

A referendum is expected at the end of August or early September.

Diana Forster is the Deka Lake correspon-dent.

Big turnout for meeting

The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike Ride is pedalling into 100 Mile House on June 10, and it’s not too late for area residents to jump on board with this fundraiser – either as a rider or donor.

Teams are made up of 29 riders, plus a driver, each person commits to raising a minimum

of $50 and then they pedal around 100 Mile in support of heart dis-ease and stroke research.

Last year, 100 Mile House had four teams join the fun and they raised $10,655.

This year, however,

two teams were signed up as of press time.

Lisa Verity, BC & Yukon Heart and Stroke Fo u n d at i o n’s Big Bike and special events c o - o r d i n at o r for Kamloops/

Cariboo, says the local Ministry of Forests

office has entered a team for the first time.

Cate Davis is the captain of the May the Forests Be with You team, and Verity notes they have a full bike. It will be leaving the Save-On-Foods parking lot at 4 p.m.

The TIB Jones & Friends, captained by April Roberts, is

returning for the event. However, she needs more riders to fill the bike.

“My Big Bike Ride team still needs 15 peo-ple. Hopefully, more will show up.”

Call April at 250-395-4421 if you want to join the TIB Jones & Friends team, which leaves the parking lot at 11:30 a.m.

108 Mile Ranch resi-dent Dan Jackson will be riding with April for the third consecutive year.

Jackson, who received a pacemaker in January 2012, says he challenged himself to get on the bike to verify he was coming back from the surgery.

“It’s very emotional for me because of the support you get from the people on the bike and in the community on that day.”

Area residents can get involved with the Big Bike Ride by forming a team, joining a team or donating to a team or an individual – all of these

things have to be done on the Internet.

To get involved, Google the Heart and Stroke Foundation; click on Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada: Heart Disease; click on events; click on Big Bike; and click on 2015.

Verity invites area residents to drop by Save-On-Foods during the day to cheer on the riders, get a photo taken with the Big Bike, and pick up some awareness material. She adds there will be some children’s activities between the rides – stick-ers, colouring pages and skipping ropes to “Jump Rope for Heart.”The Rotary Club of

100 Mile House will host its Fourth Annual Lobsterfest fundraiser on June 13.

Rotary spokesperson Shawna Norton says the dinner will feature both lobster and baron of beef, and there will be live and silent auc-tions, as well as 50/50 and bucket draws.

“This event is a major contributor to Rotary fundraising efforts, which over the past 38 years, have resulted in over $875,000 in donations to 100 Mile and area.”

This year’s proceeds will be directed to the proposed Centennial Park Pavilion.

Norton notes the live auction will include ATVs, a television and

other larger items.“And, there are all

kinds of small items from the town donated [for both auctions] and for the bucket draws.”

It takes place at the

100 Mile Community Hall, and doors open at 6 p.m.

Tickets are avail-able in advance for $75 each through Shawna at the local branch of

the Williams Lake and District Credit Union, Maureen Pinkney at Sears or any Rotary member.

PerspectivesPublisher Chris Nickless • Editor Ken Alexander Published by Black Press Ltd. #3-536 Horse Lake Rd., 100 Mile House, B.C., V0K 2E0

On June 2, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) released a report on its five-year, $60-million study of Canada’s

residential schools, and the damaging affect it had on First Nations, Inuit and Metis children.

Residential schools were started in the 1840s, and they were run by governments and churches. The last of the residential schools closed in 1996.

Around 150,000 children were ripped away from their homes to attend these facilities, and an esti-mated 80,000 survivors are alive today.

Some 7,000 survivors talked to the TRC about their horrific experiences at the residential schools.

In his closing remarks, TRC chair Justice Murray Sinclair noted many of the survivors’ stories were difficult to listen to because they involved the physi-cal, sexual and mental abuse they suffered, which too often characterized the residential schools.

Most agree this was one of Canada’s darkest times.These schools were run under a mandate to “take

the Indian out of the child.”The goal was to force the assimilation of Canada’s

Aboriginal Peoples.However, the children developed deep scars from

being taken away from their families, stripped of their identities and traditions, and being beaten if they spoke in their native tongue and not English, as well as sexual, physical and mental abuse.

In many cases, the scars these children took with them when they left the residential schools stunted their emotional development and self-esteem, which grew into feelings of being lost, anger and detach-ment from their families when they returned to their communities.

This, in turn, led to alcohol and drug abuse, violent rages and crimes, which led to misguided decision-making, violent deaths and incarceration.

In many cases, the scars have been passed on through the generations.

The TRC disclosed the truth about the horrors of the residential school system and the negative im-pact it has had on Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples.

All Canadians will have to accept and learn to understand these truths and be prepared to make changes so there can be real reconciliation with our country’s first people.

The commission made 94 recommendations to lead to reconciliation, and education is a key com-ponent.

We, as adults, can no longer ignore the atrocities of the residential school system. We need to study the report to educate ourselves and have our schools teach our children how to lead the way to reconcili-ation through our federal, provincial and territorial governments.

The road to reconciliation will be long and it will require a lot of work by everyone.

Perhaps the best starting point would be ensuring aboriginal children have the same quality of life as all non-aboriginal children.

Truth revealed

Canadians now spend $34 billion per year on pharmaceuticals.

That is almost a $1,000 for every man, woman and child – considerably more than most citizens of other Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries spend on comparable or better drug plans.

In New Zealand, for example, a national list of drugs aggressively pursues the most cost effective drugs and negotiates the best obtainable prices. Even countries – France, Italy and Spain – spend less than Canadians do for the same basket of drugs.

According to a recent study conducted by several experts on drug policy published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, Canadians could save $8 billion per year on prescription drugs (well over 20 per cent of our total costs) if we had a single–payer system of PharmaCare.

More people would be

covered – thereby making drug policy more consistent with the basic principle of universal Medicare – and administrative costs would be lower.

Economies would be realized through three different mechanisms: the benefits of bulk purchasing; the negotiation of lower prices; and the substitution of generic drugs for more expensive brands. So why hasn’t it happened?

It almost did. In 2004, B.C. Liberal premier Gordon Campbell, Alberta’s Conservative premier Ralph Klein, and Saskatchewan NDP premier Lorne Calvert all agreed the federal government was more able than the provinces to finance a national pharmaceutical plan.

All of the other premiers readily agreed (with Quebec premier Jean Charest insisting on the right of

Quebec to opt out and run its own parallel plan). Unfortunately, new Liberal prime minister Paul Martin had too much on his plate and too little time to deliver it.

The death blow came when Stephen Harper’s Conservative government was elected in 2006, and began its policy of implementing targeted tax cuts rather than “expensive” social programs.

But what if the “expensive social

program” actually saved billions per year by lowering drug costs? Let’s just say that Stephen Harper did not enter politics to save Medicare, but rather something closer to the opposite.

The Conservatives’ role in driving up drug prices was not just due to this act of omission, but also to a considerable act of

commission that came a few years later with the negotiation of the Canada-European Trade Agreement (CETA).

Canada needs to encourage investment in research, development and manufacturing, but that neither explains nor justifies our history of higher prices.

Remember when Brian Mulroney first angered seniors by improving patent protection for drugs and making generic drugs more expensive, way back in 1987?

At that time, the pharmaceutical industry promised to spend 10 per cent of sales revenues on research and development in exchange for higher prices. What happened? Research spending has been well below 10 per cent since 2002.

How can we be confident that drug companies will serve consumers any better under CETA?

GUEST SHOT


To the editor:The federal Conservative gov-

ernment’s latest budget gives the most to those who need it the least.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s priority is a $2-billion income-splitting plan and a massive increase to the limit for Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs).

Both of these measures dis-proportionately benefit the rich instead of focusing that help on the middle class and those who are working hard to join it.

The vast majority of Canadian households – 85% – won’t get a dime from income-splitting, but they will be the ones left to pay for it.

Increasing the TFSA limit to $10,000 per year is also expensive and unfair.

The previous TFSA limit was

helping the middle class save for retirement. However, most Canadians won’t benefit from the new higher limit. Canadians who are struggling don’t have an extra $10,000 to sock away each and every year.

The new TFSA limit will end up costing the government billions of dollars each year. A third of that cost will be borne by the provinces. And because TFSAs don’t count toward income-tested benefits, it will result in additional Old Age Security (OAS) payments for already wealthier seniors.

When asked about the long-term consequences of the new TFSA limit, Finance Minister Joe Oliver shrugged and said it was a problem for “Stephen Harper’s granddaugh-ter to solve.”

These are the same Conservatives

who, shortly after the last election, broke their promise and passed a law to increase the age of Old Age Security from 65 to 67.

They falsely claimed they had to do it in order to keep the OAS pro-gram financially sustainable.

Increasing the age of OAS to 67 takes $32,000 away from each of Canada’s poorest and most vulner-able seniors.

The government will be taking that money away at precisely the same time as the extra OAS pay-ments for wealthier seniors start to really kick-in.

“The rich get richer and the poor get poorer” used to be an old adage. Under the federal Conservatives, it has become gov-ernment policy.

Scott Brison, MPLiberal Party Finance Critic

To the editor:This is an open letter to Prime

Minister Stephen Harper.This letter is a response to your

December remark, that you’re not “getting a lot of calls from Canadians to name more Senators.”

If you decide to appoint just one Senator this year, out of 13 vacan-cies, please consider the special place Vancouver Island played in Confederation.

Vancouver Island has 780,000

residents and no representation in the Senate. One of six seats apportioned to British Columbia is vacant and could redress this imbalance.

Vancouver Island’s history is rich, having an upper chamber while still a colony and being the first elected Parliamentary democracy in the West prior to Confederation. So, too, our size, Island culture and unique coast-al attributes warrant a voice in

our governance.If the Senate is to balance region-

al representation in our country, then it is only fair and reasonable that at least one Senator reside here and represent the interests and perspective of Vancouver Islanders.

We know the Constitution pres-ently ties your hands in terms of what Senate seats are allocated to each region, and that your efforts for Senate reform were rejected by

the Supreme Court last March.Our suggestion does not argue

for or against a Senate, but does invite incremental legislative change that will not contravene Supreme Court opinions or the Constitution.

In the interest of good gov-ernance we would applaud any initiative to identify Vancouver Island candidates for the Senate, including a referendum in the upcoming federal election.

Mr. Prime Minister, as your plans address the Senate please consider Vancouver Island’s long and proud contribution to Confederation, and act to strengthen our partnership in this fair country.

President and director,Vancouver Island & Coast

To the editor:This is an open letter to

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett.

I would like to express my oppo-sition to the Site C dam proposal.

First, at an estimated $9 bil-lion, the dam would be extremely costly.

This is when BC Hydro’s debt, at roughly $18 billion, is already huge and growing. BC Hydro is also hiding billions of dollars of expenses in deferral accounts.

In addition, BC Hydro now owes over $56 billion for con-tracted power from independent power projects. I’d say BC Hydro is heading for bankruptcy.

The Site C dam would flood land that could be used for agricul-ture. Recent drought in California means we should be growing more food in British Columbia.

B.C. doesn’t need the power from Site C. Demand for electric-ity has not been growing. LNG export, which would use a lot of power, does not look likely.

B.C.’s total provincial debt is growing enormously. Site C would add to that. Site C would cause our BC Hydro rates to go up even faster.

To sum up, Site C would push BC Hydro deeper into perilous debt, increase hydro rates, flood agricultural land, all for un-need-ed power.

I am not automatically opposed to all industrial development. I’m in favour of projects and industries, which make sense for B.C. in the long term.

I would welcome the opportuni-ty to discuss this important issue.

Site C Dam not needed Budget steals from poor seniors

We might call ourselves Super, Natural or even The Best Place on Earth, but how is British

Columbia viewed around the world?Ever since United States billionaires and

their environmental clients decided more than a decade ago to supervise our society, the impression that B.C. is a primitive colonial backwater in need of “saving” has only been reinforced.

In late April, the province and coastal aboriginal leaders announced completion of marine planning areas for Haida Gwaii and the north and central Coast. U.S. activists knew about the announcement weeks before the legislature press gallery did, and a documentary crew was sent up to advance the narrative of the saving of the “Great Bear Rainforest.”

Within minutes of the announcement, the World Wildlife Fund website trumpeted the creation of the “Great Bear Sea,” continuing the penchant of outsiders for renaming large parts of B.C. to fit their marketing strategies.

Unlike the “Great Bear Rainforest” land-use deal of 2007, the Sierra Club,

ForestEthics and Greenpeace were not represented. Instead, Tides Canada CEO Ross McMillan sat beaming in the audience.

McMillan’s role in directing U.S. foundation money to B.C. has prompted him to declare himself “a principal architect of the Great Bear Rainforest project,” although in the early years he and his staff (currently 24 people) stayed behind the scenes while Sierra, Greenpeace et al took the credit.

At the event, two aboriginal leaders gave a nod to the real funder of the ongoing effort to “save” the B.C. coast, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Gordon Moore is a co-founder of Intel Corp., maker of most of the world’s computer processor chips, now spending his vast fortune on the Amazon basin, B.C. and other “threatened” places.

Other Silicon Valley and Seattle billionaires helped finance the original effort, and a strategy document surfaced in 2008 describing their plan to de-market

the Alberta oil sands by creating a blockade against energy exports on our Pacific coast. That campaign has featured a fake cancer study and grossly exaggerated greenhouse gas claims compared to U.S. coal and oil production.

The effort has since expanded to natural gas, with false horror stories about “fracking” finding a receptive global audience.

Last week, I wrote about the plan by British manufacturing conglomerate Reckitt Benckiser to buy up farms in the B.C. Interior and replant them with trees. Contrary to my description, “RB Trees for Change” isn’t participating in the dodgy European carbon credit market.

They’re just doing it for global marketing purposes, covering pioneer-cleared farms of our colonial backwater with forest for 100 years so they can advertise their soaps and cold pills as carbon neutral. Another 10,000 hectares of B.C. “saved” from destruction by benevolent foreign

interests!Back to reality. B.C.’s Auditor General

issued a report last week calling on the province to do more to prevent the “cumulative effects” of industrial development. A familiar example of this is the struggle to maintain caribou herds in northern B.C.

The B.C. Liberal government mustered a response from the multiple ministries that have worked on this since 2010.

Among other things, they noted that 90 per cent of B.C.’s vast area is now covered by regional land-use plans created to manage cumulative impacts. A whopping 37 per cent of B.C. is designated as parks and protected areas for environmental and cultural values.

Maybe that’s still not good enough, but it’s better than anything I can find in Europe or the U.S. That’s particularly true of California, home of Hollywood, Silicon Valley, a pipeline spill, heavy oil refining and gridlocked freeways.

Man stabbed Sunday in Williams LakeWILLIAMS LAKE - A man is in stable condition

after being stabbed in Williams Lake Sunday (May 31), the RCMP said Monday.

Police responded to a complaint of a disturbance in the 900 block of Western Avenue at 6:34 p.m. on May 31, North District RCMP noted in a press release.

"Initially, it is believed that two women were fighting out front of a residence," the RCMP said. "During the fight, a group of people came out of a nearby residence and attacked one of the men who was with one of the women involved in the fight."

It is believed that one of the attackers punched the victim in the face, stabbed him twice, and then fled the scene. The victim was taken to hospital.

"This is believed to be an isolated incident as the parties involved are well known to police," the RCMP said.

Sheriff treated after being pricked by needleKAMLOOPS - A deputy sheriff is undergoing medi-

cal treatment after being pricked by a needle while searching a bag this week at the Kamloops Law Courts. The sheriff was searching the bag of an admitted intra-venous drug user on Wednesday when a needle broke through his search glove and contacted his finger.

It did not break skin, but did leave an imprint.The woman told sheriffs she has hepatitis C and

HIV. The sheriff went to Royal Inland Hospital for treatment and has been placed on a post-exposure drug cocktail.

Husband runs over wife while pulling trailerKELOWNA - A 40 year old female has died

of injuries suffered in a pedestrian collision that occurred at 2:30 a.m. Saturday, May 23.

According to witnesses, a grey Chev pickup pull-ing a trailer was driving north onto the 3100 block of Lakeshore Road when it struck the female with the trailer. The driver of the truck was the victim's husband. Injuries to the female proved fatal and she perished at the scene.

The investigation continues with respect to the totality of the circumstances.

100 Mile House RCMP responded to 50 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Below are high-lights of the week’s calls.

Two vehicle MVIOn May 28, the 100

Mile House RCMP and rescue crews responded to a two-vehicle motor vehicle incident (MVI) at the intersection of Horse Lake Road and Highway 97 in 100 Mile House.

Investigation deter-mined the male driver of a Pontiac Grand Prix turned in front of a Ford pick-up truck going west through the Horse Lake intersection.

The older male driver of the truck was

assessed at the scene by emergency crews. The driver of the car did not suffer any injuries. The car was towed from the scene.

Traffic flow was reduced to one lane in the north and south bound lanes while the collision was cleared.

The investigation into

this collision is continu-ing.

Drinking driverOn May 26, police

and emergency crews responded to an MVI between a tractor-trailer unit and a black Camaro on Highway 97 near 103 Mile House.

Investigation of the

MVI determined the driver of the Camaro crossed the centreline and struck the tractor-trailer.

The Camaro received severe damage.

During interaction with the 22-year-old driver of the Camaro, an odour of liquor was detected. An approved

screening device was administered two times and the results of both were fails.

The driver was issued a 90-day immediate roadside driving prohi-bition. The vehicle was towed from scene.

Bail scamOn May 26, police

received a report from a member of the pub-lic in which an alleged lawyer was soliciting bail money for a fam-ily member who was allegedly in custody at the 100 Mile House RCMP Detachment and requested that money be sent to a web-site.

The 100 Mile RCMP is advising the public this is not a normal business practice and for the public to verify any type of request before sending money.


A rash of recent break-ins downtown led to an arrest and charges laid against a local man.

100 Mile House RCMP Const. Matt Young says three local businesses were hit all around the same time in the early morning hours of May 26.

“We are still wait-ing for the owners or employees of these par-ticular businesses to get us a full inventory of exactly what was taken, so we don’t have a full value on [that].

Surveillance video from one of the busi-nesses led police to a male suspect nearby matching the exact clothing worn during the break-ins.

The 42-year-old male

South Cariboo resident was arrested and held in custody facing three counts of break and enter, three counts of theft under $5,000 and three counts of mischief under $5,000.

Pita Jack owner Gerhard Loeffeler says his business was hit in this crime spree.

An adjacent hallway was broken into and then the kitchen door busted down to gain entry to the restaurant, but there was nothing of any great value to steal, he notes.

However, Pita Jack’s closed-circuit camera was able to effective-ly track the subject’s movements while inside, Loeffeler adds.

New Attitude Hair Design owner Kathy McComb says her salon was also one broken into.

The front door was smashed with a brick and someone attempted unsuccessfully to break away the till, and then made away with only small change and some items from inside the salon.

When the salon’s alarm went off it seems that scared off the per-petrator, and RCMP officers were also on site very quickly, McComb says, adding she is pleased an arrest has been made.

“I was definitely impressed with how it was handled.”

Subway was a third business affected, and

owner Lucky Pannu says the damage was exten-sive to the front door,

RCMP provide scam warning

Traffic flow at the Highway 97-Horse Lake Road Interchange was briefly interrupted when the driver of a Pontiac Grand Prix turned left in front of a westbound Ford pick-up truck and the two vehicles collided. The male driver of the truck was assessed by emergency responders at the scene, and the car’s male driver was uninjured.

The Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) respond-ed to another six new lightning-caused wild-fires on the weekend (May 29-31), says Emily Epp, communica-tion specialist with the Wildfire Management Branch.

“We had a couple in each of our plan-ning zones. We discovered two Friday, two Saturday and two Sunday, but they were all small fires.”

Four of the wildfires have been put out and crews are responding to the fifth one located at the north side of Young Lake east of 70 Mile House, and the sixth one at Bowling Point on the North Arm of Quesnel Lake.

On May 22-24, there were 10 lightning-caused fires, with the majority of them sparked in the 100 Mile House area, Epp says.

“We are seeing a

surprising amount of lightning-caused wild-fires for this time of year. On average, we see about seven, and some years it is much less. Last year, we had one lightning-caused fire.”

The CFC expects during the next few days that it will be responding to small lightning-caused fires, Epp says, adding the centre is very apprecia-tive of the public’s quick reporting so the fires can be kept small.

Air patrols are also done periodically over areas that have been hit

with the most lightning to keep an eye out for any smoke.

The CFC has responded to 69 fires since April 1, 2015 – 33 of them were ignited by lightning.

Currently, large-scale Category 3 burning is restricted in the Cariboo Fire Centre.

With the increase of naturally-occur-ring fires, the Wildfire Management Branch is reminding the public to exercise caution in the back country and with all types of fire use, Epp notes.

These attempts failed to get the safe open and the restaurant’s losses are primarily due to the damage, she notes.

Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department (FGVFD) members met with the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) volunteers to clean up the Hire Hall #1 yard and wash the fire trucks inside and out on May 9.

Every year, RBC bestows a donation of $1,000 towards chari-table organizations after helping with work duties. This year, the FGVFD was one of the recipients.

Having just complet-ed various renovations and upgrades – a new roof, front, doors and lettering, as well as improved lighting and insulation – Hall #1 now looks radiant and ready for action.

Bottle driveThe Forest Grove

Community and Parents Advisory Council was happy to announce it has achieved the high-est total yet, with $1,122 raised toward school projects, thanks to the people of Forest Grove and surrounding com-munities.

A big thank-you also goes to Big Country Storage and Gold Trail

Recycling for their support in getting the returns tallied, Bob, the Butcher, for his gener-ous donation toward a very successful hotdog sale, and everyone who helped organize and sort all the bottles and cans.

Tea and talentA volunteer apprecia-

tion tea preceded this year’s talent showcase at the Forest Grove Elementary School, with more than 20 peo-ple attending.

School principal Shawn Nelson thanked all those having become involved with school duties and events, which reflected on the diversity in our thriv-ing community. The number of students is still increasing, with 46 being expected to attend this fall.

Twenty-one per-formances were presented to an exten-sive and enthusiastic audience, which also included students

from the Eliza Archie Memorial School. The contributions by stu-dents and teachers were varied and appreci-ated by all attending, and every entertainer received a certificate of accomplishment.

ReminderThe Forest Grove

Walking Group is plan-ning an outing to the Hendrix Falls and town site on June 8 – weather permitting.

Everybody is wel-come to join in the fun. The meeting point is the FGVFD Fire Hall #1, leaving at 9 a.m.

Please bring a picnic lunch.

Guess who’s back?? Th at’s right! I’ve been laying low. But, your favourite curber is back and looking to make some ex-tra cash!

Folks were catching on to my scams at home, so I needed a change of scenery. And, what could be better than the Cariboo in the summer? I picked a friendly town, hoping for less suspi-cious customers.

Now, I just had to lure them to my so called “lot”. How? Clever advertising, of course. I needed to get creative! Time to add fl yers and a website to my typical Craigslist ads. Th is

was a blitz, not a trickle!Of course, the vehicles I had

for sale weren’t the most ap-pealing. If I told the truth, it would take forever to make a sale! No, I had to get customers

thinking they were gems. I had fi ve vehi-cles, including the RV that I was sleeping in.

In typical Walt fashion, I altered an odometer or two, hid some oil leaks, covered up the smell of mould. Used every

detailing trick in the book. When they all sparkled, I got to work.

I gave my “dealership” a name – Walt’s Wheels. I just

pulled some photos from the internet that looked better than my cars, and added a few more for good measure. I’d just say they were already sold. Create a sense of urgency and get them to buy another! Th e old bait and switch!

And here’s another secret – the prices on the fl yers and the website were not my real price.

I just had to get them to bite. With no prices on the cars like a real dealer, once they were in love, I’d just tell them the low price was a misprint! Surprising how often it works.

I looked at my fl yer and frowned. Something was miss-ing. Ah yes, the fi nal touch. I wrote “Sale! Family Deals” in big yellow letters. Surely that

would grab someone’s attention! And the calls came in! As usu-

al, from people who put price fi rst. I told them I was waiting for permits to open my dealer-ship – but I could come to them. Convenient for them, and I stay in the shadows – everybody wins! Well, sort of…

My blitz was a success. Sure, I had some who walked as

soon as they learned the real price. And two who wanted a CarProof Vehicle History Re-port to prove what I said. Boy, I dropped them fast! But I needed only fi ve. I sold them all within the week.

W here next? 100 Mile House, Wil l iams L ake or Quesnel? I can’t wait. Time to get some inventory.

Walt prowls the Cariboo

Walt really gets around…and he’s looking for gold!

“When Walt says, “It’s like new!” He means,

“Just rebuilt from two.”

Th e Vehicle Sales Authori-ty (VSA) oversees the licensed motor dealer industry in British Columbia. Despite more than 1300 consumer enquiries, near-ly 800 dealer inspections and ongoing advertising monitor-ing, the last 12 months generat-ed the following limited compli-ance activities:❚ Over 500 consumer-initiated investigations resulted in the return of $1 million to 189 con-sumers from 430,000 transac-tions, or $10 billion in regulated vehicle sales.❚ Th is included voluntary ac-knowledgement and action by four dealers that errors were made during the representation and sale of vehicles, as docu-mented in signed undertakings.❚ Five dealers faced hearings before the Registrar of Motor Dealers regarding allegations of deceptive business practic-es – Auto Empire, Golden Year Auto, Northland Chrysler Jeep Dodge, Silk Road Autos, and Trinity Auto.

❚ And, as a result of licensing reviews, three salesperson li-cences were denied, one was suspended and two were issued with conditions based on prior conduct.

In addition, three licensing and business practice decisions of the Registrar were upheld by the BC Supreme Court, fol-lowing applications for judicial review.

Th e licensed vehicle sales industry in BC includes 1430 licensed RV, motorcycle and auto dealers that employ 7300 licensed salespeople. In the last 12 months, 1600 new salespeo-ple and 100 new dealers were certifi ed and licensed. Consum-er awareness activities, like the Watch out for Walt! campaign, are ongoing.

Rites of PassageSupporting teens on their path

to adulthoodwith David Hatfield, M.Ed.

100 Mile House Valley Room (Behind Red Rock Grill) June 4th, 2015

seems to be drawn to precisely the kinds of “risky” behaviour and experiences that worry parents the most. However, seen through the lens of rites of passage, young people’s attraction to risk and intensity highlight the natural adolescent desire for wider experiences, identity construction and the search for one’s unique gifts and purpose. In other words, a transition into the world of adults. This stage also asks parents to change their relationship with their children: renegotiating passage process. We’ll learn to see challenging youth behaviours as requests for rites of passage and focus on relevant, useful offerings that parents and caregivers can make in response. We will explore ways of developing the mentorship and eldership that rites of passage require and that young people are longing for. Time will be spent exploring practical ways of incorporating such practices into our current relationships and rhythms with adolescents.

David Hatfield is an educational facilitator and leadership consultant focusing on conflict transformation, masculinity, rites of passage and improvisational singing. David has designed and led contemporary rites of passage programs since 2000 in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain and the USA. David holds an M.Ed. in social ecology.www.davidhatfield.ca

Entertainment Actors awarded at zone competition

Gaven Crites Free Press

Local actors put on quite a show and came home with some impressive honours from Theatre BC’s Central Interior Zone competition in Williams Lake, May 29-31.

While the 100 Mile Performing Arts Society's production of the A.R. Gurney play, Love Letters, didn't win best production, performers Renee Larochelle and Chris Adams did win some individual accolades.

Love Letters won best ensemble cast, Larochelle was named best actress in the nov-ice category and Adams won the adjudicator’s choice award.

“Renee and Chris did a great job,” says director Marie Hooper. “There was a great audi-ence there. They really enjoyed it. There were a

lot of tears and a stand-ing ovation. We knew we did a great show.”

Theatre BC, an umbrella association of community the-

atre groups across the province, has zone com-petitions every year. The events are good learning opportunities for com-munity theatre groups,

which put productions on for judges for a shot at entering Mainstage, an annual Provincial Theatre Festival held in Kamloops, July 5-11.

The local troupe had a great time at the regional event, per-forming along with two Williams Lake produc-tions, Hooper says.

“It was great for Renee and Chris. They got to experience another theatre and they got to perform again, which they always love doing.”

Larochelle and Adams starred in Love Letters when it was shown in 100 Mile House last fall. The two-act drama centres on two charac-ters – Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III – sitting side by side on stage, reading from letters and notes they've exchanged with each other throughout their lives. It's at different times a funny, romantic and tumultuous journey.

The theatre group will soon be releas-ing its upcoming season schedule follow-ing director pitches in May and June.

Gaven Crites photo100 Mile Performing Arts Society members Renee LaRochelle and Chris Adams performed Love Letters at Theatre BC’s Central Interior Zone competition in Williams Lake, May 29-31.

TIMBER MART in 100 Mile House is hosting a couple of special public events in June.

General manager Ralph Myhill-Jones says beekeepers Roger Meeks and Denese Hark will be at the store on June 6, 9 a.m.- noon, to demonstrate how to build your own (tra-ditional Langstroth) beehives inexpensively.

Myhill-Jones says TIMBER MART is also pleased to once again bring in master gar-deners to speak at the Garden Centre, which had a good turnout and results last year.

There will be two PowerPoint presenta-tions – one on container gardening, and the other on native bees in the area, he explains.

“They will be here from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on June 13, and they are going to be available for questions and answers on anything people can come up with.

“Master gardeners are

experts in their field, they have to go through all kinds to training to be able to achieve

that status.”There will also be

refreshments available, he notes.

The Greeny Lake Volunteer Fire Department (GLVFD) members will be seen around town throughout the summer with the Raffle Boat, selling tickets outside Safeway and Save-On-Foods.

Tickets are also avail-able at the Firehouse

Diner on Birch Avenue and Gopher Rentals on Exeter Road in 100 Mile House, and at Northwood Lodge at Timothy Lake in Lac la Hache.

All proceeds go towards the GLVFD, which serves both Greeny and Timothy lakes area. People

are urged to get their tickets early, as there will only be 1,500 tick-ets sold.

For more informa-tion, contact Bob and Sue Fox at 250-396-4764.

is slated for June 19 at 7 p.m. at the Pioneer Centre in

Lac la Hache.This event is spon-

Obituaries

Chris died peacefully May 25, 2015 after many good years.Born in Ashcroft June 19, 1922, to Anna (Nath) and Hartwig Horn, he came by stage to 70 Mile House and then by horseback in his father’s arms 30 miles to the ranch beyond Lone Butte.

The youngest of four boys, and older than penicillin, his life’s mission was to be a cattleman and a farmer. He acquired his own ranch in 1947 after working on the family ranch, his uncle August’s ranch, and for Jack Skaday. All the while courting Helen Granberg. He married Helen on his birthday in 1948 in Williams Lake and danced in Lac La Hache on the way home that evening.While building the ranch and doing what needed to be done, Chris also had a land clearing business, a small sawmill, and had the pleasure of piloting his own plane. Enduring the cattle business from before tractors, he battled rocks, stumps, and sticks with diesel and dynamite, survived multiple back surgeries, electricity, � re, brucellosis, then MS and cancer. He proved hard to kill and resilient to the end. He had actively farmed and ranched as long as he was physically able, and always took pleasure in a good story and a game of cards. Of the many things he enjoyed, waterfalls and cherries were easily shared.

He leaves his wife of 67 years, Helen, his last dog, “CD”, his son Gus, many nieces and nephews and their families, as well as a wealth of good friends and neighbours. He is predeceased by his parents, Anna and Hartwig, and brothers Stanley, Arthur, and Walter (Shorty), as well as many horses and dogs, not to mention the cattle.At this time a service is not planned. In lieu of � owers, the family would welcome a note or card with a story or anecdote of an memory of a encounter or event (sweet or salty) with Chris.We appreciate the kindness, support and caring of so many, including Dr. Dickie, Dr. Machete, and the staff at 100 Mile Hospital and Fischer Place.

The 100 Mile & District General Hospital has a new piece of essential lab equipment thanks to the South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF).

SCHF spokesperson Brenda Devine says the new VWR Digital Mini Incubator and Thermometer unit brings heightened effi-ciency to the hospital laboratory.

With a value of $900, the new incubator offers an economical and space saving solu-tion for microbiology (microorganism stud-ies) or hematology (blood work) applica-tions.

It will see more regu-lar use than the current model, which is rarely used because it is the size of a dishwasher and its main function was

transferred to another centre, she explains.

However, Devine notes laboratory test tubes fit nicely in the new little one that also sports a glass viewing door.

“The little one will be

way more adequate for our needs in 100 Mile House.”

The larger unit will likely go to a bigger health centre some-where within the Interior Health region, she adds.

Hospital lab unit replaced

Interior Health lab technicians Nancy Mah, left and Tina Majcher admire the efficient new mini incubator donated by the South Cariboo Health Foundation to replace the huge old unit shown underneath it at 100 Mile District General Hospital.

Raffle tickets available

Walt the Curber will be travelling through-out the Cariboo June 9-13, and he will be visiting a number of car dealers along the way, including a stop in 100 Mile House on June 10 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. before he heads up to Williams Lake.

Free Press readers have likely seen his mug-shot under a bold red warning to “Watch out for Walt!” during the past year, or have read one of his many “Confessions of a Curber.”

No public events planned for this trip, says Doug Longhurst, Vehicle Sales Authority (VSA) learning and communication director.

“We’ll be visiting dealers and we hope to find at least one in each community who would be willing to take some fun photos with Walt - perhaps showing him the road out of town at the city limits or next to his wanted poster.

“We’re looking for photos we can use in future campaigns and on our website: vehicle-salesauthority.com.”

Curbers are individuals and companies sell-ing vehicles as a business, without a licence and often by posing as private sellers, Longhurst explains.

Used vehicle buyers are putting their safety and finances at risk when they purchase a vehi-cle from a curber instead of a licensed dealer.

Licensed dealers are required to sell safe, lien-free vehicles and disclose the history and condition of a vehicle, he says, adding curbers are not.

“Buy a vehicle from a licensed dealer, the VSA is there to provide assistance. Buy pri-vately and you’re on your own!”

Longhurst estimates that “up to 30 per cent of buyers (or 45,000 a year) may not realize they have bought from a curber.” Consumers are urged to request vehicle history reports, select safe vehicles and buy from licensed deal-ers, he notes.

100 Mile District Hospice Palliative Care Society volunteers Sherryl Anderson and Keith Dobyns were kept busy selling raffle tickets at Cariboo Mall on May 28.

What is the best fence for my yard?

There is no simple answer to this question except to say that the best type of fence is the one that best serves its intended purpose. Fences are installed for a variety of reasons, ranging from safety for a pet or child to privacy or purely aesthetic purposes. Either a vinyl, chain link, or wood fence is a viable fencing option, each with its own set of pros and cons.

A vinyl fence is both aesthetically pleasing and as maintenance-free as a fence can get. Vinyl fencing comes in a variety of styles and heights, making it an ideal choice for just about every fencing purpose. Vinyl fencing is available in different colors and widths as well. The durable construction of vinyl fencing is appealing, as is the low-maintenance aspect of vinyl – no need to paint or stain, only to wash. However, vinyl fencing is usually more expensive per foot than the chain link or wood alternatives.

Chain link fencing is the least expensive type of fencing, but unlike a vinyl or wood fence, a chain link fence provides no privacy. A chain link fence will be a fairly durable fencing option, but one that is prone to rusting and pitting. However, wear and tear on a chain link fence is less obvious than wear and tear on a wood fence, and requires less maintenance. Chain link fencing is a terri� c choice for limited budgets as well as situations where only temporary fencing may be required.

A wood fence combines aesthetics and privacy at a slightly more affordable price than vinyl. Wood fencing can be purchased in various heights and styles and can be accentuated by various post-toppers, making it possible to fence any style home accordingly. A wood fence looks nice and the natural characteristics of wood make it appealing to many homeowners. The biggest drawback to a wood fence is the maintenance.Much like a wood deck, a wood fence needs to be washed and stained every couple of years to keep it looking nice. Wood fences may also rot away in places, making them less durable than vinyl and chain link fences. When choosing wood, expect a possible slight increase in homeowner’s insurance, resulting from an increased risk of � re caused by stray sparks from an outdoor � replace, grill, or damaged power line.

In short, choosing between a vinyl, chain link, or wood fence is a matter of affordability and overall appearance and function. When properly installed and maintained, most any type of fence is acceptable for keeping small children and pets safe, but privacy and appearance can only be achieved through vinyl or wood fencing options.

Mt. Timothy Ski Society has received $45,000 from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Development.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett presented them with the cheque on May 1, and said the ski hill brings in major tourism and also benefits residents

in both the South and Central Cariboo.

“It services the region. Schoolchildren go up there regularly and learn how to ski and how to do pro-grams and safety.”

Aside from all its benefits for folks of all ages who enjoy the hill, the region needs suffi-cient activities to keep its

young people and bring in others, something that is “very important” to her personally, she adds.

“That ski hill is run by volunteers and has millions of dollars and hours into it. It is so

important to keep that hill alive and vibrant for tourism, but also for the purposes of the region –

for everybody.“I am so thrilled I was

able to find the money to help them out.”


The BC interior town of Cache Creek declared a state of local emergency Sunday after a flash flood raged through the town. This campaign will help pay for recovery efforts. Please help us put our town back together! Even the smallest donation will make a difference.

Paul Archer is a guy who airbrushes huge murals for rockstars

and does wicked designs for their tour buses.

He’s a man with mischievous eyes and a lit cigarette in his mouth, tattooed arms in a sleeve-less shirt, hands in black gloves with the fingers cut off – just some of the more visible attri-butes comprising the Vancouver-based artist’s raspy, rock ‘n roll persona.

Archer was flown up here recently, brought in to supply the very specific, talented touch he’s developed through decades of handling an airbrush. Archer collaborated with Mike Bolivar, whose family property is located southeast of 100 Mile House on Fawn Lake Road, deep in Cariboo country, on the local classic car restorer’s newest project. Bolivar’s ranch is surrounded by quiet, seemingly everlasting acres of green field and tranquil forest. A place of peace and solitude for Bolivar, where he can work in his garage, customizing vehicles, undis-turbed for days at a time.

A little slice of paradise, he calls it, God’s Country in the British Columbia Interior.

Archer smokes a cigarette in Bolivar’s shop and looks over at his newest creation: a bright, sil-ver-shining image of Janis Joplin, “The Queen of Psychedelic Soul”, screaming into a microphone, eyes closed, kaleidoscopic feath-

ers in her hair. Archer’s canvas: the hood of a

red 1963 Mercury Comet, which Bolivar has been meticulously bringing back to life since last fall. On the trunk, in shining Hippie font, are the lyrics to Mercedes Benz, a big Joplin hit – “Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?”

Archer is known as the “air-brush artist to the stars”. He’s had a long, illustrious career, and according to Bolivar, he’s the perfect guy for this particular job. Archer has worked with rockers such as David Lee Roth, Ozzy Osbourne, Gene Simmons, Alice Cooper, Mötley Crüe, Sting and Metallica. He’s got stories about arm wrestling Johnny Depp, playing foosball with Rob Zombie, Axl Rose singing his daughter a lullaby.

His art has opened doors to

very interesting worlds.“All I ever did was draw,”

Archer says, recalling a 30-year airbrushing career, and his childhood days drawing the characters he saw on television. “I’m not good at anything else.”

The vintage Comet being rebuilt belongs to a psychia-trist in Williams Lake named Vona Priest. The car has been in her family for a long time. It belonged to her grandfather once. He used to drive her to school in it. She’s had it since 1989.

After years of rust-gathering and dilapidation, she wanted it restored, and found Bolivar, who started on the old Ford last fall. Bolivar talks about the car being full of mice and bird crap when he first saw it. Priest gave him instructions to basically restore it to just-rolled-off-the-assembly-

line form. Plus, in honour of her grandfather, who was a very religious man, she wanted “the Lord” in there represented some-where. And she saw Janis Joplin perform live in 1970 and she loves Janis Joplin. Priest thought “Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?” a nice combina-tion and fitting tribute to both individuals.

So Bolivar, the rancher/car guy who’s admittedly not much of an internet guy, went and punched “airbrush artist” into Google. When he saw Archer’s work, he knew he found exactly who they needed.

Painting large murals is where the big money is, Archer explains. But he has painted vehicles before – including party buses, motorcycles, boats.

Rockstar artist paints custom job

Mike Bolivar, left, called airbrush artist Paul Archer when a customer of the local classic auto restorer requested a special paint job.

Continued on B2

Archer says he was stressed about this job at first, in a remote spot, so far away from his studio and most of his equipment in Vancouver, where he also does a lot of work for the film and music industry. He was a little out of his element out here, he explains, but he settled in. It’s a beautiful and quiet place after all, and he’s thankful for Bolivar’s hospitality.

Bolivar is looking to have the Comet ready for Priest in time for an ALS fundraising event at Boitanio Park in Williams Lake on June 13. Where the fully-restored Comet is sure to catch eyes and turn heads. Custom restoration jobs like this can range from $40,000 to $250,000, depending on what the owner wants added, Bolivar explains.

“I’m very happy with the work and I’m very impressed with [Archer’s] artwork,” Bolivar says. “I can’t wait to see this thing [clear-coated].”

Fifty hours into the

paint job with only a few finishing touches left to apply, Archer was also pleased with the work.

“I think I nailed it,” he says.

Priest, the car’s owner, thinks so too. She took a drive out to the ranch for a sneak peak on May 23.

Of the new paint job, she says: “Oh my God, it’s amazing.”

Of Archer: “That guy is an artist, he really is.”

70 MILE HOUSE

The 100 Mile & District Women’s Centre Society is an essential local resource vulnerable people turn to regularly.

The non-profit agency provides counselling ser-vices and programs for the protection of women. It is holding its annual general meeting (AGM) in room 224 on the second level of the South Cariboo Business Centre, 475 Birch Ave., on June 17, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

The need for the organization’s services in the 100 Mile House area, especially with recent cuts to an emergency food hamper program, is real and pressing, explains executive director Sonja Ramsay.

“We’re only open 20 hours a week, and in 2014, we served over 5,000 clients. The number of mem-bers is climbing, but we’d love every person in the community to become a member of the Women’s Centre Society.”

With the loss of emergency food hamper fund-ing, the Women’s Centre is reaching out to the community for monetary or non-perishable food donations.

The Women’s Centre is also taking on the issue of human trafficking, which will be discussed at the AGM.

The organization is working with British Columbia’s Office to Combat Trafficking in Persons and is planning a two-day event to raise awareness in the fall.

Ramsay encourages local social service providers to get involved.

Women’s Centre welcomes new members, donations

Creekside Seniors Activity Centre is celebrating its 20th anniversary on June 13 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Cariboo Elders Building and Recreation Society president Renata Cargnelutti says the free public event will feature guest dignitaries, live entertainment, cake and refreshments.

Historic photos will be dis-played and the celebration will

showcase all that the centre offers for folks aged 50 and up (or with younger spouses), she notes.

“We encourage people to turn out and just see our facility and what we have to offer, and we always welcome new mem-bers.”

Guest speakers include Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campbell, and Councillor Ralph Fossum (for the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House).

Founding member and first president, Nick Laxton, will trav-el up from Chilliwack for the event.

Together they will share their collective memories, such as how

Rotary had donated the land for the centre, and the sponsors, donors and volunteers who all came together to do it.

Enjoyable, practical and healthy activities abound at the centre from potluck dances three times a year to semi-weekly card games, carpet bowling and bil-liards (pool).

Cargnelutti notes organiza-tions rent meeting rooms and hold classes at the facility, and the hall and kitchen is available for private functions.

“It’s amazing the people that don’t know about us.”

The centre is located off Cedar Avenue behind the Ambulance Station.

For more information, call Renata at 250-395-4430.
