New NDP leader John Horgan embraces economic development
By Tom FletcherBlack Press
British Columbia doesn’t currently need a third dam on the Peace River, and it does need a comprehensive study of the environ-mental effects of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas extraction.
John Horgan staked out those positions on May 5, his first day at the legislature since being acclaimed leader of the B.C. NDP, saying he has been consistent on both since before last year’s election.
On the proposal by Kinder Morgan Canada to twin its oil pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby that former NDP leader Adrian Dix suddenly opposed during the 2013 campaign, Horgan said it’s clear to him that people in Vancouver and Burnaby don’t want it. The same goes for his own constituents along the Strait of
Juan de Fuca who are concerned about a big increase in tanker traffic, he added.
However, Horgan said he will wait for the current federal review process to be com-pleted before making a decision whether to support or oppose it.
He also responded to Jobs Minister Shirley Bond’s challenge during question period that the NDP find some economic development project it can say yes to.
“I said yes to Mount Milligan; I said yes to Red Chris,” Horgan said, referring to two northern copper mines proposed while the NDP was in government.
“I said yes to expanding the Oil and Gas Commission when it was first developed in the 1990s. I believe we can have a bal-anced approach to economic development and resource development in particular.”
Natural Gas Development Minister Rich
Coleman rejected suggestions of hydraulic fracturing risk to groundwater before leaving last week with Premier Christy Clark for their latest liquefied natural gas sales trip to Asia.
Coleman said the industry has a spotless track record after 50 years of cementing and casing gas wells to protect water while drilling far below to extract gas from shale forma-tions.
Since winning the leadership by default after his only rival, Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth, dropped out, Horgan has stressed the New Democrats need to reach out to resource communities and blue-collar workers alienated by the party’s environmen-tal positions.
Horgan said he will travel extensively as leader to build support for the party, prepar-ing it to win back support and form an NDP government in 2017.

Rural and remote areas without access to traditional broadband service can now benefit from government fund-ing assistance.
The new program offers up to 50 per cent of installation costs for Xplornet satellite ser-vice, up to a maximum of $250.
The $2-million investment by the provincial govern-ment’s BC Broadband Satellite Initiative will bring affordable access to high-speed satellite Internet to remote areas of British Columbia where wired or wireless broadband service is not currently available.
Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says this stemmed from the work of the B.C. Rural Caucus, of which she was a member. The group travelled extensively to small communities and remote areas across the province to listen to residents about their needs and recommend changes to government.
“The rural caucus identified this during the last session. One of the [items] on our rural document was broadband for rural and remote communities.”
The provincial government has part-nered with Xplornet Communications Inc. and local installers to provide qualifying residents with satel-
lite technology where it provides the only option for a high-speed Internet connection, she explains.
Barnett adds anything that can help people, who don’t currently have access to broad-band, to get high-speed service is beneficial.
“They don’t have any choices where Shaw doesn’t go and Telus doesn’t go, so the only [opportunity] they have is satellite.
“There are a lot of people out there who have home businesses that this would help and there are other people who do many things at home.”
This includes those who home-school, undergo correspondence edu-cation, do personal business online, and numerous other Internet activities.
“Of course, there is the social aspect of it. And everybody [seems to] want you to bank online, and do this
online, or that online.”While the fund-
ing assistance does not include equip-ment costs, for remote customers, that is the smaller portion of the total bill for hooking up to Xplornet satellite service.
Xplornet senior vice-president of busi-
ness development Bill MacDonald says remote installations might be 200 kilometres from a dealer, which is when set-up costs begin to mount.
“That’s for what’s called the additional installation costs above and beyond what a customer would nor-
mally pay. There is free install for our custom-ers if they are within ... about 50 kilometres of a dealer.”
New customers liv-ing farther out than that usually pay extra for installers to travel out and install equipment, he explains.

New Internet funding for remote areas
Continued on 11
By Sally Watson70 Mile and area
residents are happy to hear the 70 Mile and Area Community Fund has been matched by Northern Development Initiative Trust – turn-ing the $9,576 fund into $19,152.
Congratulations to all of the fundraisers who have worked so hard on this project so far. I’m sure more work will hap-pen on this project this year, as NDIT will match new fundrais-ing for 2014.
To donate directly to the fund, which is designated for bursa-ries for local students, send cheques to the Kamloops Foundation; Box 15; Kamloops, B.C.; V2C 5K3, with “70 Mile and Area Community Fund” in the memo line. Donations over $25 will be issued at tax receipt.
I am challenging everyone to issue a cheque for one of their day’s wages. My cheque for $140 is in the mail. Let’s do the best we can for our future students.
Get well wishes70 Mile area residents
are channelling posi-tive thoughts to Judy Clarkson, who is the 70 Mile Transfer Station attendant.
Judy is on the Lower Mainland receiving medical treatment for a serious illness. Our hopes and prayers are with her.
Earth Day I missed out on the
opportunity for an Earth Day roadside cleanup this year, and hope to be able to get
this done later in May.Even if we can get the
frontage roads at the store and motel cleaned up, it should help and make it look like we love this place.
Permit changesAfter 18 years of no
fee adjustments, Bylaw Regulation Amendment
Bylaw 2464 was adopted bringing numerous chang-es to the building permit process.
These include:• Increase of
the building per-mit term from two to three years.
• Increase to the base permit fee from $6 to $8 per $1,000 construction on the first $100,000.
• Increase from $5 to $6 per $1,000 on the balance of construction.
• Removal of the $500 cap on the five per cent fee reduction for proj-ects under professional supervision.

Spring has sprung at the local nurseries. If it is still cold outside, get your spring fix in one of the greenhouses in this area and check out the huge selection of annuals, perennials, vegetable plants, shrubs and trees.
The Green Team from Cedar Crest Society for Community Living was out and about the District of 100 Mile House picking up trash on April 29. They were doing their part to clean up the community during the week surround-ing Earth Day.
Mill Site Lodge/Fischer Place Auxiliary members Carol England, front, and Jean Cornet, at back, sold a Spring Raffle ticket to Jan Wirick at Cariboo Mall on April 25. The $2 tickets will be available at the mall on Friday mornings, and around town on random days over the next few weeks.
Royal Canadian Legion Branch #261-Forest Grove president Jim Tindale recently presented Ladies Auxiliary members with a certificate of appreciation for the auxiliary’s dedicated support of the Legion.
Roger Stratton, left, and his staff at Horse Lake Garden Centre are getting ready for the avid Cariboo gardeners. The greenhouses are filled with annuals, perennials and vegetable plants and here they are unloading a large shipment of shrubs and trees.

Another excit-ing Heritage Week in Clinton kicks off with the opening of the Clinton Museum for the season on May 16.
On May 17, the 147th Clinton Annual Ball – an elegant dinner and dance with entertainment – will be held at Clinton Memorial Hall. It is thought to be Canada’s longest running annual event.
Guests, who will be in period costumes, will dance to the Evergreen Drifters and enjoy entertainment by the comedian and magician Clinton W. Gray. Tickets are available by calling 250-459-7725.
From May 17 to 24, businesses are encour-aged to participate in the Heritage Week Dress-up Contest. Judging will be done on May 23.
On May 23, the Old Timers Tea will be held at the community hall from 2 to 4 p.m.
This is a free event where longtime friends
meet and share stories, and wit has been the tradition to be held on the Friday before the rodeo for more than 50 years.
The annual parade takes place on May 24, starting at 11 a.m. Folks who would like to par-ticipate in the parade should contact Wayne Griffith or Bonnie Stanke, or entry forms can be picked up at Integris.
Following the parade,
the Lions hold their beef-in-a-bun fund-raiser down town. The Lions also have free hotdogs for the children at the fire hall.
The rodeo kicks off at 1 p.m. the same day, and the 4H steak dinner with all the trim-mings will be available at 5 p.m. at the rodeo grounds.
The rodeo dance fol-lows the dinner at 8 p.m., and the beverage gardens will remain
open in between those two events.
There will be a con-cession at the dance. On May 26, the pan-cake breakfast at the rodeo grounds is at 9 a.m., which is when the rodeo slack starts. The rodeo is at 1 p.m.
Tickets to the rodeo are $12 for adults and $8 for students and folks over 65.

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20No matter how challenging it may be, slow down and give yourself time to reflect, Aries. You’re always on the go, but it’s important to slow down now and then.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, steer clear of added responsibilities this week, as you already have enough on your plate. Some alone time might be worth its weight in gold.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21You’re not easily overwhelmed by intense people or things, Gemini. Use this resilience to sail through a challenging task that gets sent your way this week.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22There is no need to figure out all of the answers in the next few days, Cancer. If something is on your mind, then take your time to weigh all of your options.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23It could be challenging to be playful and lighthearted this week, Leo. Take every situation seriously and give ample thought to every decision you must make.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Make the best of a delicate situation at work, Virgo. Although you may not be ready for more responsibility, your reaction will be noticed by your bosses.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, hold tight to your beliefs this week and don’t let anyone sway your opinion. You will serve as an example to others who bend whichever way the wind blows.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, you may not have all of the solutions, but rest assured that you are moving in the right direction. An interesting conversation illuminates the situation.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21You have gained a new sense of purpose, Sagittarius, and you’re ready to put your plan into action. Expect a few raised eyebrows, but most people will be receptive.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, you are ready for a well-deserved vacation or retreat. But you cannot run away from your responsibilities this week. Just hold out a little longer.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Your finances seem to be a constant source of aggravation, Aquarius. This week you are ready to take care of business and hammer out a foolproof budget.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, your energy level will be quite high, making it vital for you to do something productive before your stamina slows down.
HOW TO PLAy:Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box.

Barney Bentall is back to play at the 2014 Clinton Rodeo Dance at the Clinton Rodeo Grounds on May 24, starting at 8 p.m.
He’ll be playing with special guest – his son Dustin Bentall – and an opening set by the Juno nominated bluegrass band – The High Bar Gang.
Barney says he will rock the May Ball Rodeo dance with a mix of country and rock, and will keep all the fans and rodeo dance enthusiasts on their feet all night long.
Tickets are $20 and will be available at the door. There will be a shuttle bus and an eve-ning concession.
Rodeo preparations The Clinton Ag
Association (CAA) has been busy preparing for the 2014 rodeo with major upgrades at the rodeo grounds.
On April 26, numer-ous loads of sand were hauled to the Clinton rodeo grounds and the arena footing was redone.
Thanks go to Ken Bolster for organiz-ing the crew; Michelle Shilling at the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for the donation of sand for the arena; the many local contractors who donated trucks and equipment; and all the drivers and operators who donated their time that weekend.
The job was a major undertaking and is greatly appreciated by the CAA.
The arena fence has also been painted by the David Stoddart School travel club students and Bruce Drewry, and a new dance floor has been constructed.
It is shaping up to be a great weekend on May 24th and 25th at the Clinton Rodeo grounds with two days of BCRA rodeo action.
Campers are wel-come; the fee is two days rodeo admission.
Be sure to come up and cheer on our local cowboys and cowgirls. The always popular
packhorse race, wild cow milking and cow-boy foot races will take place during the inter-missions.
If you would like to volunteer for the rodeo, please call 250-459-2753. The CAA is still looking for a group interested in looking after the rodeo gate on Sunday.

Following are the highlights from the April 22 District of 100 Mile House council meeting:
Bylaw officer’s reportThe monthly
C o m m i s s i o n a i r e ’s Report included numer-ous parking infractions in March.
These included vehicles blocking
Birch Avenue in front of the 100 Mile House Community Hall dur-ing an event, a log truck parked overnight in the Blackstock Estates, and trades vehicles parked in front of a business.
Four warnings were also issued for street parking violations.
Other enforcement activities included follow-ing up on some dogs on the loose, barking dogs, business licence issues and a resident blowing leaves and sand onto a neighbour’s property.
Day of MourningWhile the District does
not do proclamations, Campsall noted it would lower its flag on April 28 as requested by the United Steelworkers in recognition of the union’s annual Day of Mourning for fallen employees.

By Kristi EstergaardEating with young
children can be stress-ful, especially at dinner time.
Even though I know the spilling, throw-ing food, picky eating, and crankiness are all normal, they are hard to face each evening. Knowing the many benefits that eating together offers my tod-dler – from learning more vocabulary to accepting new foods– gives me the push to continue making family dinners a priority in my home.
I recently asked myself how we can make our family meal-times a happier time.
This year’s theme is Simply Cook and Enjoy. You may be wonder-ing if the “enjoy” part is even possible when eating with young chil-dren? The answer is “yes.”
During the past month, I began care-fully practising what I preach.
The following tips really are key:
• Ensure the focus for eating together is sim-ply to enjoy each other’s company. So much stress is lifted when I let go of being concerned about how much or what my son will eat.
• On work nights if
dinner is running late, I find it helpful to offer my son a light pre-din-ner snack to prevent him from becoming over-hungry.
• Offer new foods along with familiar, loved foods. By doing this, it helps my son feel comfortable at meal times.
• Don’t let food refusal get under your skin. Once the food is served I remove all emotional investment for the creation of the meal, and focus on my own eating, not my toddler’s. It is OK if my son does not want to eat. Coaxing or bribing children to eat
certain foods or amounts does not help; in fact, it can cause chil-dren to eat less and take longer to accept new foods.
• We keep the con-versation light and involve our toddler. Interestingly, by doing this it has helped decrease the amount of food that is thrown.
• Keep distractions to a minimum. At meal-times, we turn off the TV, cell phones, iPads,
and put away toys (or hide them out of site, if needed).
• We keep cloths handy to catch large spills and wait until the meal is over to pick up food that has been dropped on the floor.
Creating happy meal times is worth the effort. These changes have made a huge dif-ference for my family.
