December 19, 2012 edition of the 100 Mile House Free PressTRANSCRIPT
DECEMBER 19, 2012
School District #27 (SD27) is welcoming Chris Pettman to the school board as its new trustee for 100 Mile House.
The Dec. 15 byelection attracted 96 resident voters to the polls, with 59 voting for Pettman and 37 voting for Holly Davidson.
Pettman says he is look-ing forward to getting sworn into office on Jan. 8 at Peter Skene Ogden
Secondary School, so he can begin his participation on the board.
“I’m very happy and I’m eager to get involved.”
Now, he will able to vote on the Initial Options Report for school recon-figurations and closures, which is currently slated for a board decision on Jan.
22. Until then, Pettman notes he will attend the public portion of the
board meetings.Pettman says he was “surprised”
to see a poor turnout at the polls, as he’d expected 150-200 voters.
Previous trustee elections in 100 Mile House in 2005 and 2008 gar-nered almost 600 votes. However, these were during general municipal elections.
Davidson says running for trustee was “an interesting process,” but she wishes more people had turned up at the polls.
Many people with children attending one or more of the large schools in 100 Mile House could not vote, she notes, as only residents of Zone 3 qualified.
“[The authorities] need to broad-en their voting radius to include parents of children who are in [these] schools.”
Davidson congratulates Pettman on his victory and says she hopes he is “up to the task.”

Back taxes hit German
pensioners in Canada
$1.34 includes HST 100milefreepress.net
Senior retirees left paying again for income already taxed
Carole RooneyFree press
Many German pensioners living in the South Cariboo – and Canada – are unhappy about receiving tax notices from their motherland bill-ing them for back taxes to 2005.
Anke Zucchelli, an accounting technician with PMT C h a r t e r e d Accountants, says this is leading many to seek tax advice in Canada, but others are paying it with-out question – some of them out of fright.
The “bureaucratic lan-guage” in the tax letter is overwhelming for most people affected, she says, adding many of whom are in relatively low-income brackets.
As Zucchelli speaks German and is well-versed in the country’s tax laws, PMT is getting dozens of requests for help from across the province, she adds.
“I probably have one or two new people a week coming forward right now who are not former clients, but have received a letter.”
Jörg Heizmann of Canim Lake says he was dismayed to suddenly receive 2005/06 tax bills in early December 2012, as well as a notice of more to follow for 2007-2011.
“Since we are here in Canada, we always submitted our pension amount to income tax, and if there was something to pay on it, then we paid it.”
Heizmann notes he only worked nine years in

Local man rescues truckers
Families review Oppal inquiry results
Heroic actions in perilous conditions save two lives
Missing women report released privately, despite objectionsCarole RooneyFree Press
Family members of the missing and mur-dered women studied in a provincial inquiry are expressing dismay at its method of release.
The final report of the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry prepared by commis-sioner Wally Oppal was released on the Internet on Dec. 17, both live-streamed and e-mailed to families and participants.
The extensive inquiry has been underway since 2010 to analyze and report on the investiga-
tions of women who disappeared in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side, including those in the Robert Pickton murder convictions.
Prior to the release of the report, Ernie Crey, elder brother of missing woman, Dawn Crey, voiced his objections to having the report pre-sented to those directly affected by live-streaming video on the Internet, followed by an emailed copy of the report.
He says it was an impersonal approach to deliver these sensitive report results to families of women who have been murdered or remain missing.
While reading rooms were made available for families and participants to view the results together and support each other, Crey says now the report is released, government should field and address their questions.
He wants government to engage with these families, not leave them wondering, “OK, now what?”
While it is what he terms a “landmark inquiry,” Crey says he couldn’t get any confirmation ahead of the release on how government will engage with families in follow-up actions.
The provincial gov-ernment is seeking public input until Feb. 28, 2013 in a Mortgage Brokers Act review intended to ensure it reflects the current financial ser-vices market, and to strengthen consumer protection.The act provides a framework for regis-tration and regulation of mortgage brokers in British Columbia.

A local man rescued two men trapped in a burning semi-trailer that rolled near Sicamous on Dec. 9.
It was around 11:30 p.m. when South Cariboo resident Ted Sawyer was driving the dark stretch of highway east of Sicamous near Enquist Road.
The roads were icy and he was driving westbound about 90 km/h in a 100 km/h speed zone when Sawyer says he noticed vehicle headlights approaching behind him.
When a semi-trailer came up behind him on the slick high-way, Sawyer says he watched closely in his rear-view mirror, and then suddenly saw the big truck was in trouble.
“The truck was [sliding] sideways on the road with the tractor pointed across the oncoming lane ... and it flipped, and then flipped up in the air again, and then it burst into flames.”
The truck had rolled down an embankment about 25 feet down, he adds, and was engulfed in a “huge fireball.”
Sawyer says he braked and turned around as quickly as possible in the conditions, went back and parked immediately above the crash scene, and left his dog stowed safely in the car.
“I wasn’t worrying about my car too much, but I was worrying about [the truck] maybe blowing, so I kept the car between me and it to have a look, and I saw where the outline of the rig was.
“I was thinking about what I had to do when I got there, and I had winter work gloves in the
car, so I thought, well I’ll grab them, because of the hot metal or things like that.
“I was hollering, hoping somebody would reply back, but there was nothing.”
The big bank was steep, and fairly dark despite the nearby flames, but Sawyer jumped over the side and down he went.
“I knew I was going to wipe out going down there, but I knew I had to get down there fast.”
He immediately lost his foot-ing and rolled down to the bottom of the hill like a ball, he explains, landing on fairly flat ground, and then paused to re-orient himself to his sur-roundings.
The truck driver seemed dazed, and was sitting behind the wheel with a broken arm, Sawyer says, but his door was pinned flat against the ground, while “huge” flames surround-ed the passenger door.
The other occupant had been snoozing in the sleeper compartment and also seemed stunned after having been “shaken around like dice,” he adds.
“I started hitting the window with my fists trying to break it, or at least give them the idea to hit the window.”
The occupants were still stunned, Sawyer says, so he looked around for something to break the windshield glass with, but could find nothing.
“Finally, I realized the only way was to do it with my feet, and I lay down on my back right close to it, and I just hammered it – I don’t know how many times, but I had to break it.”
Ted Sawyer rescued two men trapped in a burning semi-trailer that rolled near Sicamous on Dec. 9. He risked his own life in the process, and is still nursing a sore ankle, but left his Bouvier, Dimes, in the car while he took heroic action.

The federal govern-ment is once again facing scorn as cost estimates soar for its planned F-35 fighter jets purchase.
A much-anticipated audit by independent firm KPMG recently disclosed new estimates of $45.8 billion, which Opposition Liberals decry as a “colossal mis-take.”
Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae says it is a “complete mis-handling of the biggest procurement since the Second World War.
“[The recent KPMG] reports clearly highlight that the Conservatives still want the F-35 and will rig the process in order to get these planes.”
He adds without changing the specs and opening up the jet pro-duction to competition, Canadians will “end up with the same result.”
Meanwhile, govern-ment states it is “hitting the reset button” to examine all cost impacts before proceeding with the contract for up to 65 new fighter jets.
Updated figures by the Department of National Defence now
estimate $44 billion, but with an extended life span of 42 years rather than the previous 20 years, based on Auditor General M i c h a e l Ferguson’s rec-ommendation last spring.
K a m l o o p s -T h o m p s o n -Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod says doubling this time frame “absolutely” explains the increase.
“They have a system now in place where they want full life-cycle cost accounting.”
This includes the cost of the airmen, the fuel, the maintenance of the jets and the runways, she notes. McLeod likens the cost to operating the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), a Crown corporation that sees government shell out a billion dollars each year.
The project “reset button” was actually hit when the auditor gen-eral’s report came out eight months ago, the local MP explains.
The original govern-ment funding cap of $9 billion for simple acqui-sition were refuted by Ferguson last spring when he indicated the
shorter, 20-year life cycle costs would be closer to $25 billion.
That’s also when a new panel of inde-p e n d e n t reviewers was initiated, which McLeod says is adhering to government’s s e v e n - p o i n t plan.
“It consists of a num-ber of very important and very knowledgeable procurement experts.”
She adds Canada was involved in an inter-national consortium to “look at the jets and help the development,” but hasn’t yet com-mitted to any aircraft purchases.
“I think it’s impor-tant for people to recognize that we haven’t actually spent any money acquiring these
jets yet.”That won’t happen
until a “very open, transparent” review process is completed, McLeod explains.
Liberal National Defence critic John McKay says government must return to first principles and restart the whole process to “bring confidence back” to its jet selections.
“Canadians have had enough of the Conservative’s spin on this issue. It is time they hold an open and trans-parent competition to replace our aging fleet of CF-18s.”
The latest KPMG reports also indicates concerns that the cost of the F-35 aircraft may climb much higher than the current estimates of $92 million for each of these advanced stealth fighter jets.

Pettman welcomedSD27 chair Will Van Osch says he is glad to have
someone elected in Zone 3 to balance the district’s representation.
Van Osch adds he is looking forward to working with Pettman.
“[He] has a lot of work to do to get up to speed, but I think he is quite capable.”
This byelection was held to fill the position vacated by Patricia Baker, who moved out of the province in September.

A tree fell on power lines along Horse Lake Road on Dec. 17 around 11:15 a.m., taking out an entire circuit and knocking out power to 2,500 customers.
BC Hydro spokesperson Simi Heer says crews local-ized the short and had
half of those customers back up and running within an hour, another 500 got power later that
day, and the last of them powered up by 11 p.m.
The same day at 11 a.m., 800
residents from Forest Grove to Mahood Lake had no power for up
to seven hours during some hastily-planned “adverse weather” maintenance.
BC Hydro communi-ty relations co-ordinator Dave Mosure says it was a “very last-minute” forced outage.
“That was a very short-planned outage based on snow load-ing. [Our technicians] told me ‘we’re shutting it down with the snow or it’s going to fall, and it’s going to take all the poles and lines down with it’.”
Residents from Forest Grove Store along
Canim-Hendrix Lake Road and all side roads to Bates Road, Canim Lake South, Mahood Lake Road and all side roads to Mahood Lake were affected by the planned outage.
If the snow load had taken out the service, Mosure explains the power would have been off for up to several days, rather than sev-eral hours
BC Hydro crews were assisted by three contracting crews and a helicopter for the ad hoc snow and ice removal operation.
“Are there going to be people [available] from government to answer to the content of Oppal’s report?
The provincial government has acknowledged the sig-nificant impact the report will have on many family members, but states it addressed that by making victim support services avail-able before, during and after the release of the report.
For those who were unable to attend the Vancouver release, this involved toll-free sup-port lines.
Gail Edinger, who is the regional co-ordina-tor for the Community Co-ordination for Women’s Safety pro-gram of the Ending Violence Association of BC, says it is most
important to focus on the people who have been violently robbed of their loved ones.
“The RCMP has an amazing team of investi-gators who are working to find answers and justice, but a truly com-prehensive response needs to include imme-diate, ongoing and accessible supports, connections to other families and empow-erment to be involved in seeking answers and justice.”
Prevention work needs to focus on how perpetrators of violence can be held account-able, she explains, not on how potential vic-tims can avoid what is “tragically and incor-rectly labelled as high risk behaviour.”
Family, friends and other community members with missing
or murdered loved ones need to be central to “everything,” Edinger adds.
This includes involvement in decisions on how reports are released, how families are contacted by media and what families and communi-ties need when loved ones are murdered or disappear, she says.
“These and many more discussions and actions need to be guid-ed by families, friends and other community members.”
Edinger says she is waiting to hear the results of the report, which are still being absorbed by those who have had access to review it.
“I’d like to see recog-
nition of the need for the community to have a voice that is respected and believed.”
Family mem-bers were advised how to access the report online early on Dec. 17, prior to public statements and a media lock up. Reading rooms were set aside for family
members able to attend in person, with victim services supports avail-able, and for parties who had standing at the inquiry.
The Ministry of Justice committed to provide assistance to those family members who were represented by counsel at the inqui-ry, attended the inquiry hearings and were in Vancouver.
Meanwhile, Edinger
says more services are urgently needed in communities where women, especially Aboriginal women, are the most marginalized population.
She adds a broader, national inquiry on all missing murdered women should now be performed, and it must include a solid commitment from federal and provincial governments to create a foundation of support for families while it is underway.
“The release of the inquiry report and the resulting attention from media, inquiry staff and others will raise grief anew for all who have been impacted. We need acces-sible supports in place that address this ongo-ing reality.”

Break it he did, and when he began pull-ing the glass out of the way, the driver roused and helped to clear an escape route from the cab.
“I had my winter gloves on, so I man-aged to rip the glass out of there and get them out.
“There was lots of light though,” he adds, chuckling.
He hurried away from the wreckage with the two men, who Sawyer notes were bare-foot, back up the bank to his car.
He says by the time they made it back to his vehicle, the wreck began exploding.
“I’m awfully glad that I managed to get them out, because God, that would have been hor-rible, and absolutely horrifying for them.
“We didn’t have two or three or five minutes when I got them out of there. There were fuel lines and all kinds of things exploding and going wild.”
By this time, other drivers had stopped along the highway at a reasonable distance from the explosion, he explains, and then BC Ambulance arrived soon after and took over from there.
“The one paramedic there, jumping out of the ambulance, she
skidded and just about completely wiped out because the road was just slick.”
Sicamous RCMP Const. Dusty Miller was one of the officers who attended the sin-gle-vehicle incident at 11:34 p.m.
“The driver of a westbound tractor trailer unit lost control, crossed the centre line, went across the road and into the ditch,” says Miller. “The trailer of the unit flipped and landed on top of the tractor unit and started on fire.”
The officer also con-firms a man travelling in front of the truck had apparently stopped and assisted the two occu-pants from the vehicle before police arrived.
The occupants, who suffered with minor injuries, were trans-ported by ambulance to Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm. The incident is still under investigation.
Sawyer adds the ambulance crew com-mended him, saying “good job, good job” for getting the truck- ers out in the nick of time.
It was “just the purest of luck” he was pass-ing at that moment and able to respond quickly enough to prevent a tragedy, he says, adding traffic was light.
The two rescued men were, obviously, very grateful.
“They both said ‘you saved our lives’. And they were appreciative; they said ‘thank you very much’.”

Germany, so that pen-sion is small, but the tax rate is “quite high” in that country.
“I’m going to be pay-ing nearly 200 Euros [$260 a year], and that’s quite a bit.”
He explains Germany and Canada have a tax agreement to avoid double-taxation, so it’s “not fair” to have to pay again, when he’s already paid Canadian taxes for the German pension income.
Heizmann also receives Old Age Security income in Canada, but notes that is taxed at a much smaller percentage than the bills from Germany. Zucchelli explains the double taxation agree-ment Germany has with foreign countries includes the right for the pension-generating country to adminis-ter the taxation, but it also ensures the foreign country credits that back.
The German foreign tax laws were changed and took effect in 2005, but she says it’s taken the tax officials in that country until about two years ago to even begin to “catch up” with for-eign pensioners.
Now, more and more retired Germans liv-ing in Canada are getting these tax bills, and Zucchelli notes they don’t have the tax
exemptions that are available here.
“Their overall income might not be that high, and once they have their personal exemption, their medical claim and all that, they don’t owe taxes to the Canadian government.”
This means for those pen-sioners – and Heizmann is likely one of them – the credit won’t help them recoup the German taxes they must now pay, Zucchelli notes.
“Some times they get a little bit back ... but they don’t tend to get 100 per cent.”
However, she says there is hope for many pensioners affected by the new tax laws.
People with a slightly higher pension income in Canada and a lower one from Germany may benefit from the credit, Zucchelli explains.
It’s important to note those with a low income can apply to
the German govern-ment for tax relief, she says, adding a letter of objection must be sent within two months of the date on the tax letter.
Any future tax notic-es can be disputed once
they arrive, and Zucchelli notes PMT has helped clients, who immedi-ately paid the taxes, argue s u c c e s s f u l l y and get some of that money back.
She encour-ages all affected pensioners to look at the numbers, and if it seems worth the cost, consult an accoun-tant with expertise in German tax laws, even if the deadline is past.
Pensioners who have some tax knowledge themselves or don’t have much money involved should still consider disputing the taxation, Zuchelli adds, especial-ly if they can prove a low income.

The 100 Mile House Free Press is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body
governing the province's newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the
complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treat-
ment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent within 45 days to: B.C. Press Council, 201 Selby St. Nanaimo, B.C. V9R 2R2.

Once again, the businesses and the in-dividual residents and families of the South Cariboo have gone above
and beyond in giving a helping hand to our less-fortunate friends and neighbours this yuletide season.
Generally speaking, this was another difficult year for folks in the local business sector, as they tried to ride out an economy that is slowly rising out of the ashes.
However, that didn’t stop them from supporting the Rotary Seniors Dinner or the local churches Community Dinner – both annual get-togethers that area residents enjoy.
The business community also donated heavily to, and held or supported, fundraisers that help ensure families and individuals going through tough times or dealing with unfortunate illnesses have a brighter Christmas.
And it’s not just business owners who are reach-ing out. Individuals and families throughout our South Cariboo communities are also digging deep to make sure people have warm clothes, food in the cupboards, and a few extra goodies for Christ-mas morning.
There seems to be a different feeling about the way folks have been giving assistance this past couple of years.
We’re not just throwing money at a social problem, while we trudge past and we’re not being judgemental.
We realize times are tough because we feel it ourselves, so we are more in tune to what is happening to those who are less fortunate, and in most cases, suffering through no fault of their own.
When we give even a little bit of our help, we look into those eyes – the windows to the souls – and see the suffering, hurt and/or embar-rassment.
We don’t judge; we just smile and offer under-standing and a hand up.
That’s what makes the South Cariboo such a great place to live – people are real and they care about each other.
If you haven’t had or taken the opportunity to help others, consider dropping food off at the Food Bank and Loaves & Fishes Out-reach.
The Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre and the 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre will also take food, clothes, toiletries and other necessi-ties for their clients.
Together, we make our communities a better place to live.
Giving from the heart
In 2011, British Columbia experienced a second consecutive year of economic growth, and the province continues to hold its own in the wake of the recent recession.
A major factor driving economic growth is large-scale injections of capital investment. The province’s solid fiscal record and high credit rating make B.C. an attractive place to invest, and combined with abundant and in-demand natural resources, a wake of new investment is either planned or in progress.
In the first quarter of 2012, the value of all projects under construction in B.C. totalled $78.9 billion – a 25 per cent increase over the first quarter of 2011.
According to the BC Check-Up, a report recently released by B.C.’s chartered accountants, the major investments currently underway throughout the province, especially those in the resource sector, should lead to increased economic activity and wealth,
especially in the Interior, Northeast, and Northwest regions.
These regions have the resources – coal, minerals, oil and gas, and timber – that correspond to market demand, especially in the Asian market. While all of B.C. stands to gain from growtah in resource exports, our northern c o m m u n i t i e s will enjoy the most immediate benefits, in the form of jobs, increased spending, and p o p u l a t i o n growth.
At the p r o v i n c i a l level, projects, such as the Forest Kerr Run-of-River Hydroelectric Project (valued at $700 million) - one of three hydroelectric projects proposed for the Iskut River in Northwest B.C. - will contribute significantly to the province’s goal of energy self-sufficiency.
On the North Coast, once complete, the Kitimat Modernization Project (valued at $2.7 billion) will boost aluminum output and reduce production costs, making the smelter more competitive worldwide and further stabilizing a major employer in the region.
In Southwest B.C., new public- and private-sector i n f r a s t r u c tu re projects include the Evergreen Line (valued at $1.4 billion) and the Seaspan Marine S h i p b u i l d i n g Contract (valued at $8 billion).
S t r a t e g i c a l l y i m p o r t a n t ,
the Evergreen Line will expand the existing transit and road system in Metro Vancouver, reducing road congestion and making road transportation more efficient for commercial vehicles.
The Seaspan shipbuilding contract will generate high-paying jobs throughout the
life of the contract, more than 4,000 new jobs over the next eight years, which will drive the rebirth of B.C.’s shipbuilding industry.
However, some of the major private-sector investments, such as unconventional gas development or oil/gas pipelines, still face a wide array of environmental and social concerns that will need to be addressed before they gain public acceptance and move ahead.
Overall, it is clear that major projects are important for B.C.’s long-term economic growth.
Our provincial tax policies and regulatory system need to remain clear and predictable to investors and businesses alike, in order to ensure the province continues to be an attractive place to invest.

100 Mile Free Press Wednesday, December 19, 2012 www.100milefreepress.net A9
To the editor:I am writing regarding Taseko
Mines’ proposed New Prosperity Mine
All persons who are sports fish-ers, First Nations or commercial fishers or even those of us who merely buy fresh caught sockeye salmon for dinner, should be con-cerned about the Taseko Mines Ltd.’s proposal to develop a gold/copper open-pit mine in the Chilko/Taseko watershed.
This is major spawning water
for British Columbia’s Fraser River sockeye salmon.
The Fraser River sockeye run is the largest on Canada’s west coast. In 2010, more than 10 million sockeye were caught by commer-cial, First Nations, and sports fishers in locations from the tidal waters, through the Fraser River delta, the Fraser Canyon and to further reaches of the Fraser River system of tributaries.
Over a 15-year period, govern-ment fisheries staff tells us that 25
per cent of the Fraser River sock-eye spawn in the Chilko/Taseko watershed – right where the Taseko Mines Ltd. proposes to construct its mine. Gold-copper mines have historically caused great damage to fisheries and high cost to taxpayers who eventually pay for reclamation and remediation.
Taseko Mines Ltd.’s first pro-posal was turned down by federal government authorities due to the “unacceptable environmental threats to the ecology.” The Taseko
second “new” proposal shows no real improvement.
In fact, the new panel of envi-ronmental specialists recently appointed by the federal govern-ment has just indicated the Taseko Mines “new” Environmental Impact Statement has major defi-ciencies in its contents regarding impact on valued ecosystems.
It is clear to many of us that this second try by Taseko contin-ues to be unacceptable, not just to us, but also to the Canadian
Environmental Assessment Agency’s panel.
All outdoors people should speak up against this mine. If this Taseko Mine is approved, you may find that the next similar mine could be located in your favou-rite place to fish, and that your salmon dinner comes from Russia or Alaska.
Jack MonkSurrey
Writer opposed to New Prosperity Mine
To the editor:Hopefully, Prime Minister
Stephen Harper is familiar with the expression “fish or cut bait.”
Now that Justice Bruce Cohen has laid out 75 recommenda-tions to help protect the Fraser River sockeye, I wonder what Harper is going to do.
Will he get busy and imple-ment the recommendations, or fritter away more time hoping the problem will solve itself?
The first thing Harper should do, assuming he really is inter-ested in saving the wild salmon stocks, is get the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) out of the business of promoting British Columbia fish farms.
In case he is not familiar with the expression “conflict of interest,” here’s what it means: a situation in which a person has a duty to more than one person or organization, but cannot do justice to the actual or potentially adverse interests of both parties.
I know Mr. Harper is famil-iar with the expression “cutting red tape.” If his government cuts more red tape and cuts f ewer DFO jobs, maybe it will be able to expedite Justice Cohen’s recommendations and save the wild salmon before it’s too late.
Lloyd AtkinsVernon
To the editor:Prime Minister Stephen Harper,
by approving Chinese state-owned CNOOC Ltd. to purchase Calgary-based petroleum producer Nexen Inc. for $15 billion, has betrayed Canadians.
What many Canadians have yet to realize is that in a few weeks, Harper will take a further step in selling off this country when he signs the Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) with Beijing.
This treaty provides CNOOC unprecedented rights to sue federal, provincial or local governments in Canada whenever these jurisdictions introduce legislation or regulations that aim to protect the environment and public.
Not only is Harper handing over our resources to foreign states, with FIPA he is handing over undue
power to foreign corporations that will be able to operate, and expand, in Canada with impunity.
Reaction from across the political spectrum is already calling Harper’s decision as a treasonous breach of his sovereign duty to our country, revealing his dogmatic allegiance to
the unregulated global marketplace.Will Kamloops-Thompson-
Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod stand up for Canada and stand up to her wrong-headed leader?

Opinion
VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark has completed the traditional round of year-end interviews with legislative press gallery reporters.
Here are excerpts from my discussion with her, dealing with the Enbridge oil pipeline proposal and the balanced budget her government has promised to present in February.
TF: On the Enbridge project, are you getting the answers you want on safety?
PCC: No, we’re not. We’ve set out our position. The five conditions need to be met, period.
[B.C.’s conditions are “world-class” land and marine spill prevention and response, meeting legal obligations for aboriginal consultation, passing federal-provincial environmental assessment and a “fair share” of financial benefits.]
PCC: We need the oil patch producers, the Alberta government and the federal government to come to the table.
We’ve been cross-examining Enbridge. We have not been getting any of the answers that we hoped to get. We haven’t gained a
lot of comfort from that process. And none of the other conditions are even close to being met.
We are doing our own study of marine traffic. We want to understand the total number of ships that are out there plying our coast right now. Because all of them have fuel in them, and some are cargo ships that are big enough to have enough [bunker] fuel as a mini-tanker would.
Part of this is trying to understand where our level of Coast Guard protection needs to be today, in order to protect us should there be a spill from the existing traffic.
TF: Balancing the budget: the finance ministry’s current projections call for an upturn in natural gas royalties in the coming year. With the current glut of gas, isn’t that kind of far-fetched?
PCC: It is going to be difficult to present a balanced budget, but I think because we’re going to build in some [forecast]
allowance, as we always do, and because we’re going to be completely transparent about the assumptions that have led us there, and because we aren’t going to fiddle with any of the assumptions that we receive
from the experts in the Ministry of Finance, it’s going to be quite clear that we have done it. We have come by a balanced budget honestly.
So when it comes to natural gas, you know that the assumption we use in the budget is based on a fairly complex formula that the Ministry of Finance has relied on for probably a decade now. We don’t fiddle with that.
There are those who would say we should artificially lower the
[revenue projection] number that we use. But if you artificially lower it, what’s to stand in the way of artificially raising it? You either accept the advice of your experts or you don’t. And they’re the experts, not the politicians.
TF: Right now we have a deficit gap of more than a billion dollars. Can that be closed without significant spending cuts, or tax increases, or both?
PCC: You will see when we get to the budget. And it will be absolutely transparent how we got there. [Laughs] Nice try.
TF: If the B.C. Liberals form a government in May, will the election date be changed so we don’t have to have this discussion about questionable spring election budgets?
PCC: It’s not part of the plan today, but I’m sure it’s a discussion we’ll have in the next four years. I know that people have talked about it. I’m open to it. I’m not wedded to this particular date.
Next week I’ll have highlights from my year-end interview with NDP leader Adrian Dix.

Testing new drugs requires seeing how they might affect body organs like the liver, kidney and heart. They use live subjects in this testing. The National Institute of Health in the U.S. is funding research into 3-D tissue chips using living cells that model the structure and function of the real organs. Once developed, these chips will be used to test new drugs and result in bringing them to market faster.
The words “cold chain” refer to the need to keeping vaccines and certain antibiotics cold (2-8ºC) from manufacturing to administration. This is important when shipping products overseas because half of the vaccines are lost due to exposure to heat. A new idea using silk as a stabilizer in the product will allow a greater range of temperature variations. Should be in use in about five years.
We get kind of smug in Canada thinking that being overweight is more an American problem. But today, 59% of Canadians are either overweight or obese. By 2026 this is expected to reach 70%. Now is the time to do something about it.
Music can have a powerful effect on people with dementia. A program called Music and Memory uses music selections that the patient listened to in past years. Using an MP3 player and earphones, the music brings back memories to these patients and helps them become more connected with the real world.

A group of concerned citizens followed an erratic driver into 100
Mile House on Dec. 11 after he had displayed unsafe operation of his
vehicle.During the course
of the convoy, police
say the Dodge pickup was also involved in a sideswipe collision with another vehicle on Skaday’s Bridge at Horse Lake.
RCMP report receiv-ing calls from drivers witnessing the man driving erratically, and several of them followed the pickup in their vehicles down Horse Lake Road east-bound into town.
When the truck slowed in front of 100 Mile House Junior Secondary, the other drivers boxed it in with their own cars, SUVs and pickups to prevent any further hazardous driving.
Police responded to the location, and quick-
ly found the pickup driver was suffering from a medical condi-tion with seizures.
BC Ambulance Service was called and the man was removed from his vehicle trans-ported to 100 Mile District General Hospital for treatment.
100 Mile House RCMP Sgt. Don McLean says the dam-ages to the vehicles were minor in nature.
“Luckily, no one was injured during this event and charges are not being contemplated at this time.
“100 Mile RCMP would like to thank the citizens who brought this matter to a success-ful conclusion.”

100 Mile House RCMP responded to 61 complaints and calls for service during the past week.
Slow downThere were 11 colli-
sions reported during the past week.
Out of these 11 col-lisions, seven were directly related to dete-riorating weather and road conditions. Four of the vehicles from these collisions were not properly equipped with adequate winter tires.
100 Mile RCMP are, again, reminding the travelling public that winter tires are required and winter driving con-ditions are in effect. Slow down!
Arson and B&EOn Dec. 14, police
were called to a cabin on Hillside Road in Forest Grove that had been burnt to the ground.
There were indica-tions that a shed on the
property had also been broken into. Footwear impressions led away from the scene to a resi-dence nearby. A search warrant was obtained and executed at the resi-dence.
As a result, a youth was arrested and trans-ported to the 100 Mile RCMP detachment. The youth was released from custody on several conditions.
The investigation into this matter is continu-ing. The youth cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Police are asking for anyone with further information about this
arson and break-and-enter to contact the 100 Mile RCMP at 250-395-2456.
Impaired drivingOn Dec. 11, police
responded to a report of a possible impaired driver in 100 Mile House, and the suspect vehicle was located shortly after the com-plaint was made.
The male driver dis-played symptoms of having consumed liquor. An approved roadside screening device was administered and the result was a fail.
The driver met the criteria and he was subsequently issued a 90-day immediate roadside driving prohi-bition. His vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days.

Truck spills resin near creekCarole RooneyFree Press staff
A semi with a tandem-trailer unit dumped a load of hazardous resin near Attwood Creek on Highway 24 just east of Barrett Road Dec. 17.
The tandem trailer went into the westbound ditch and flipped, burst-ing a bladder full of resin and spreading it along some distance.
The tractor did not leave the roadway, but
the main trailer slid partway into the ditch further along. A berm was built to prevent resin from leaching into the creek, and the Ministry of Environment attend-ed to do the cleanup.
The tractor-trailer was towed back onto the road, and the driver continued on his way to a Williams Lake mill with his remaining load.
Driver error and road conditions were pos-sible contributors.
Emergency crews cordoned off the site of a dumped load of hazardous resin near Attwood Creek on Highway 24 when a transport truck lost his tandem trailer Monday afternoon.

South Cariboo resi-dent Orland Bramsleven has won a University of British Columbia (UBC) engineering award, along with his three Vancouver-based teammates.
The UBC Engineering Competition (UBCEC) held on Nov. 17 was a full day of engineer-ing challenges hosted annually for students by the Engineering Undergraduate Society.
Bramsleven’s Junior Team Design team was challenged to create a water container able to withstand natural forc-es, such as tsunamis, hurricanes and torna-dos without breaking.
Bramsleven says his team worked hard on the competition, from the design process and assembly to the prepa-ration and execution of the required presen-tation detailing their design decisions.
They competed against 24 other teams, which, he notes, made achieving first place “that much more of an accomplishment.”
“It was great that we won the competition and surprising that we pulled out on top. It was a close race, as we only
won by one-quarter of a point.”
The container had to retain one litre of water until all tests were com-pleted, but were allowed only 20 elastic bands, 20 plastic cups, 20 Popsicle sticks, some hemp rope and unlimited duct tape with which to build it.
“The problems we had were the limited resources and time constraint, but this was also fun, as we knew we had to work fast to get our design ready in six hours.”
Bramsleven explains his team’s winning design had two lay-ers, each with six cups formed into a hexagon shape, with a seventh in the middle, all attached with duct tape.
“But in between the two layers of cups was
a spring system that I designed by using elas-tic bands across the open sides of the cups.”
Only the top layer cups were filled with water, covered over with duct tape to pre-vent leakage, but the spring system was used in all the cups to allow for maximum shock absorption.
“We had hemp rope secured with duct tape to the top and bottom layers to prevent the top cups from shooting off.”
The final touch was a parachute on the top to help slow it down on the six-foot drop it was required to survive, he adds.
Bramsleven notes he only got involved in the contest after a friend asked if he wanted to join his team.
The top 3 teams were all mechanical engi-neers, but his had two
electrical engineers, he says, adding they also beat out teams of mechanical engineers.
The UBCEC also serves as a pre-qualifier for the Western Engineering Competition (WEC), a prestigious competition between engineering students from 12 univer-sities in Western Canada.
Bramsleven and his teammates are one of the top winning teams from each category who will now compete in the four-day WEC to be held at the University of Victoria, Jan. 23-27.

When Alan Boyd received his Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal from C a r i b o o - C h i l c o t i n MLA Donna Barnett at the Rotary Club’s Seniors Dinner on Dec. 1, he was first of all surprised and then humbled by the experi-ence.
“I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. I do like helping and it has its own rewards. It’s a great honour and, hopefully, I am worthy of it.”
The medal com-memorates the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the British throne and it honours the sig-nificant achievements and contributions of Canadians.
Donna, who nomin-ated him for the award, read a lengthy list of volunteer contributions Al has made over the years.
Indeed, Al helped with everything from serving as a Cariboo Regional District dir-ector in the 1970s and ’80s to building out-houses for the Watch Lake/North Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department fire hall this year.
There were too many contributions Al has made over the years to be listed here, so suffice it to note he was elected as Citizen of the Year in 1999.
Al says he first came to the South Cariboo in
the summer of 1951 to stay with his older sis-ter, Sheila, who had just married Jim McMillan. He was 12 years old at the time and his broth-er, Ian, was six.
Their mother had passed on the previous year and the boys went to Canim Lake to be with Sheila who was cooking at a camp for some of Jim’s logging crew. Jim and Glenn McMillan were con-tracting for the Jens Brothers at the Rocky Point sawmill.
Al’s job was to pack water and wood, help his sister with the cook-ing chores and “keep Ian out of harm’s way.”
At the end of the sum-mer, the boys went back to North Vancouver.
After graduating in 1956, Al got a call from Jim and was asked to come up and help out. He worked in Jim’s shop in Lone Butte and did minor repairs and lube jobs on the logging trucks at night.
“That job didn’t last too long – about to Christmas, and then they needed me out at the bush mill in the Drury Lake area. I start-ed by piling lumber and did just about every-thing over the years.”
Then he ran a fork lift at the planer mill in Lone Butte in the fall
of ’57, went back to the Coast during spring break-up in 1958 and then came back that July and worked for Jim and Glenn for the next 21-and-a-half years – until they sold out to Ainsworth.
Al married Janet on June 24, 1961 and they raised three children in Lone Butte.
As far as com-m u n i t y - m i n d e d volunteering goes, he says his first experience was being the leader for the 1st Lone Butte Cub Pack, which he did for two years.
Noting the McMillans were very involved in volunteering, includ-ing work on both of the community halls, Al says he just started getting involved, too. From there, he has been involved in just about every community pro-ject in Lone Butte since 1978.
Obviously, a glut-ton for punishment, Al moved into municipal politics – slowly at first in the early ‘70s and then more heavily in the ‘80s.
When Alex McMillan was the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Area G director, which covered Lac la Hache to Bridge Lake, Al was his alternate director and sat on the advisory planning committee.
When Alex retired in 1972, Al filled in for the last six months of his term. Noting they were putting the regional district building bylaws together at the time
and meeting four out of five nights during the week, Al says it was too much time away from his family, so he didn’t run for the directorship after the six months was up.
Ten years later the CRD formed Area L by taking it out of Area G, and then Socred high-ways minister Alex Fraser asked Al to take on the interim leader-ship role.
Al ran unsuccessfully for the seat six months later, however, he served as Area L director off and on until 1988.
Since then, he has served the community in a variety of ways and still does today.
As for winning the Diamond Jubilee Medal, Al says he’s a little embarrassed when he compares it to what volunteer firefighters do week in and week out at fire practices and then are on call around the clock.
“It’s like I said to one of my friends, ‘They must be hitting the bot-tom of the barrel to give me one’.”
However, Al admits he does like helping out wherever he can and adds that wouldn’t have happen without family support.
“I have to give my wife and family a whole lot of thanks and credit for all the times I wasn’t there because I was off doing something else for the community. They have sacrificed a lot over the years, so I could do what I do.”
Al Boyd medalled for years of community service

On Dec. 8, Bob Felker was honoured by his fellow firefighters for 30 years of service at a Christmas banquet at the Forest Grove Community Hall.
Earlier in October, Cariboo Regional District Area H Director Margo Wagner presented Felker with a commemorative plaque and medal at a CRD meeting in Williams Lake. In addition to his years as a firefighter, Felker has been the fire chief in Forest Grove for a remarkable 27 years.
The Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department (FGVFD) was formed in 1982. The small group of vol-unteers had little in the way of equipment and gear.
A dance was held to raise funds for their first big purchase, a 1948 International open cab fire truck. The truck spent a year in Felker’s and other firefighters’ garages.
Under Felker’s leadership and through hard work by its members, the depart-ment expanded and developed, setting a standard for excel-lence in the South Cariboo.
In 2000, Felker initi-ated the inaugural First Responder Program in the regional district. Currently, the depart-ment has more than 40 members, many with first responder certifi-cation.
Other milestones in his career as fire chief have been the purchase in 2007 of a state-of-the-art truck with a foam compressor, the first of its kind in the CRD, and amalgama-tion with the Canim Lake Volunteer Fire Department. In 2010, Forest Grove firefight-ers were on duty at the Olympic venue in Whistler.
Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and Wagner were guests at the Dec. 8 dinner in Forest Grove.
Barnett has been a friend and admir-er of Felker for many years. She commended him for his years of devotion to the FGVFD.
“Accolades to Bob,” Barnett said.
“He has always had a commitment to his community and a passion to ensure the safety of others. He has persevered through financial struggles and recruitment issues. Not often do you see one of his calibre.”
As for the future, chief Felker foresees busy times ahead with
many new firefighters to train and programs to set up.
“I’ll retire when everyone’s been looked after,” he quipped.
Bob Felker honoured for 30 years as a firefighter

100 Mile gets grant in lieu of property taxesThe Ministry of
Citizens’ Services and Open Government announced a Grant in Lieu of Property Taxes for 100 Mile House.
The grant provides
$21,396.73 in compen-sation for municipal property taxes.
These grants are distributed as a way to reimburse munici-palities for services
benefitting government properties, such as sewers, roads and fire protection.
The amounts paid are based on the assessed value of the properties and the municipal-ity’s tax rate.
“This grant is a great way for the local gov-ernment of 100 Mile House to reinvest funds back into the com-
munity and provide services to its residents,” says Cariboo-Chilcotin
MLA Donna Barnett.
E a c h municipality distributes a portion of the funds to its regional dis-trict, and those governments use the money
to help pay for local ser-vices.
In 1962, the gov-
ernment of British Columbia recognized its responsibility to compensate munici-palities for local services that benefitted prov inc ia l ly-owned properties.
In November, the province distributed $16.9 million in com-pensation for municipal property taxes to 64 communities through-out B.C.

Lorraine Faessler is concerned about the safety of folks going on the ice on Bridge Lake.
Noting she has been in the area for 65 years, the north shore Bridge Lake resident says this is the first time she has seen open water on the lake at this time of year.
“It’s not safe. I would like the summer peo-ple who come up for Christmas to stay in their cottage and stay off the ice.”
Faessler says the ice just started freezing last
week, but because the air is still warm, it’s not frozen solid. She adds there has been between six and eight inches of snow over the thin ice.
“Please use caution and don’t go on the lake if you want to go home because it’s not safe.
“It’s not safe for ice-fishing, so please stay off of the ice. Don’t go on the ice with your snowmobiles.”
Ice conditionsIce needs to be four
inches thick to walk on it, eight inches for snowmobiling, and 18 inches to drive a vehicle on it.
Longtime resident notes Bridge Lake ice thin Donna

Lac la Hache Elementary School will be holding its annual Christmas con-cert tonight (Dec. 19) at 6 p.m. in the school gym.
Everyone is welcome to come out and enjoy the Christmas songs, skits and music. It is always a crowd pleaser.
The school’s Parents Advisory Council (PAC) organized carol-ling for the community Dec. 16. The event was held in the parking lot of the Lac la Hache Community Hall.
Lac la Hache Volunteer Fire Department members set up and supervised the barrels for the bonfires, which kept everyone warm and added to the country carolling atmosphere. Hot chocolate and goodies were enjoyed by all.
A Christmas tree with lights added to the event that was taken in by a number of adults and children from the Lac la Hache area.
During the carolling, PAC president Jenni Tanner asked everyone in attendance to take a moment of silence for the school children’s lives lost in the tragedy in the United States.
On behalf of the PAC, Tanner thanked every-one for the support.
“We would like to give a special thank-you to the Lac la Hache Community Club for a place to hold the event, the Lac la Hache Volunteer Fire Department for taking care of the bonfires, CaribooRadio.com for providing the music when the carollers need-ed to give their voices a break, Tim Hortons
for the hot chocolate, Monika Paterson for taking the pictures, and to everyone who came out and had fun.”
She also thanked community residents for their support throughout the year.
OAPO updateAgnes Rivet notes
the Lac la Hache Old Age Pensioners Organization No. 176 just had its election of officers.
The new president is Tony Van Denzel, vice-president is Phil Rivet and the three new directors are Paul Cowley, Kit Senger and Betty Place.
Agnes says Phil is the regional director of the Cariboo Yellowhead region and attended the Better at Home meeting in Williams Lake.
The seniors centre in Williams Lake will be taking this project on.
Agnes says she hopes the Lac La Hache area
will be included, as there is a huge support group that feels this program will be great for seniors.
The provincial gov-ernment and United Way have implemented this program, which will try to help seniors stay in their homes by supplying things, such as housekeeping and yard work.
It will be done on a volunteer basis and it will be free for low-income seniors.
Agnes notes there is a great video, Move for Life, for seniors who would like to do low impact exercises at home to keep them moving.
It is free and can be ordered by calling 1-877-725-1149.

Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) recently awarded 100 Mile House Safeway man-ager Sean Watson with a Widening Our World (WOW) Award.
He was recognized for his efforts as an employer in embracing inclusion and helping adults with develop-mental disabilities to have a greater sense of community and belong-ing in their workplace.
Watson was one of five recipients chosen from regions all over B.C.
Nominations of inclusive employers or co-workers were sub-mitted by self-advocates throughout Community Living Month in October. Five regional panels of
community and fam-ily members, community council members, CLBC staff, service provid-
ers and self-advocates selected the 2012 award winners.
Brett Tassell, a five-
year employee of the store, is the self-advo-cate who nominated Watson for the award,
crediting him for hav-ing listened to his ideas and finding ways for him to be successful.
Watson received his award on Dec. 13 at a ceremony held at Cedar Crest Society for Community Living office, in the presence of many people from the community.
The Safeway manager said he was honoured to receive the award.
“This is the highest piece of recognition you can receive. I’m proud of Brett and I’m proud of his success. He’s been motivated to do his job and do a better job each day.”
Watson said he is also proud to be an employ-er who understands and appreciates the atmo-sphere that people with disabilities bring to the workplace.

Lac la Hache Tomahawks have added another loss to a six-game slump that’s dragged them from top spot and kept them down in second place in the Eastern division of the Central Interior Hockey League.
Their latest defeat came on home ice Dec. 15 against the first-place Williams Lake Stampeders who skated to a 9-6 victory.
The penalty-strewn contest saw the Stamps called for 13 infractions and hit with 32 minutes in the penalty box. This included a 10-minute misconduct call on Dino Lecomte in the second period and a third-frame game misconduct for an “abuse of officials” call on Tyler Fuller.
The Tomahawks got whistled for eight infrac-tions and 16 penalty minutes.
Williams Lake dominated throughout the game, taking the lead in the first period and building momentum as they went.
First-period goals for the Hawks came from Roy Nichol and Robin Gilbert, but the stanza ended 3-2 for the Stamps.
The second period finished 7-4 in favour of the Stamps with Jordan Sellars and Gilbert adding to the Hawks tally.
Drew Rose put one in the net for Lac la Hache midway through the third period and Gilbert scored in the final minute on a power play for a hat trick.
“We had enough chances to win,” says Hawks coach Al Navrot, referring to five scoreless break-aways.
“The boys didn’t quit, though. They’re pretty durable.”
He adds emotions ran high throughout the
game due to a solid rivalry between the two teams. Prior to entering the losing streak, and still rid-
ing on a 6-2-0 record, Navrot says Tomahawks team expectations were high for the rest of the season. Now, they’ve had to learn a lot about humility, he adds.
“There’s still room to get back to the top. Anything can happen.”
The Tomahawks travel to Vanderhoof on Dec. 29 for a game with Omineca Ice, but Navrot isn’t happy with the timing.
“It’s right in the middle of the holidays and I don’t know how many of our guys can make it.”
Tomahawks are at home again on Jan. 5 for their last regular season contest with Quesnel Kangaroos. They play host to Terrace River Kings on Jan. 12 for their final game of the regular season.
Tomahawks continue on losing streakTomahawks’ Wilf Robbins, centre, challenges Williams Lake Stampeders goaltender Justin Foote in a game played in Lac la Hache that the Hawks lost 9-6.

The ski season at Mt. Timothy Ski Area opened Dec. 15 with 90 centimetres of dry, powdery snow at mid-mountain and 11 runs in operation.
It was a skier’s and snowboard-er’s delight with great conditions and good weather, and hill manager Adam Piccolo says he was pleased, counting up the highest opening day numbers in 10 years.
Saturday saw 240 lift tickets sold and Sunday was also busy with 207
purchasers.The only setback to an otherwise
perfect weekend was a breakdown of the chairlift early Sunday morn-ing, which forced its closure for the entire day. A leaking O-ring on the backup brake was discovered before opening time and the T-bar was put into operation right away.
Piccolo says there was a bit of grumbling from customers, but they had no choice.
“That’s why it’s there – for backup.
It ran flawlessly. We had to make sure the lift was safe for people before using it.”
He adds a lot of the staff is new this year, so the weekend was a bit of a learning curve for them.
“That’s the nature of the beast when you’re only open half the year. Everything went really well, though.”
The new Red Rock Bistro food services, which has a completely new menu, was a hit, he says. The kitchen was barely able to keep up with a
high demand for waffle fries, and hot sandwiches from the Panini grill were also popular.
With snow and cool temperatures in the forecast, Piccolo says he is optimistic conditions will be great for the Christmas holiday season.
Starting Dec. 22, the lift and day lodge will be open daily until Jan. 6, with the exception of Dec. 25 when it will be closed. The road up to the ski area is in good condition, says Piccolo, who is in charge of its maintenance.

Winter is upon us and the 100 Mile Snowmobile Club would like people to consider joining it for a season of fun on the trails.
Activities with the club are geared for all ages and all experience levels – even snowmo-biling newcomers.
Club president Al Reichardt says fami-lies will get a lot out of being club mem-bers, as their regular group rides include a stop along the way for a campfire, hotdogs, fun races, challenges and time to play in powder-filled open areas.
Reichardt joined the club 20 years ago with his wife and children and says they had a blast.
“We met lots of peo-ple. It’s a great social thing and a lot of fun.”
The club owns a trail groomer and several kilometres of trails are kept up throughout the season for members’ use.
A 37-kilometre loop trail starts and ends at the clubhouse on Ainsworth Road at 99 Mile and takes riders as far as Valentine Lake, which has fire pits and open swamp areas for playing.
Another of their groomed trails goes to Helena Lake and is part of the Gold Rush trail, which reaches as far as Wells.
In addition to their regular group rides, club members do an annual overnight ride to Wells, participate in
their Winterfest char-ity fundraiser and can attend clinics where new riders are able to learn what they need to know about riding trails.
The annual club membership for a sin-gle rider is $75; couples pay $90; and families of four are $120, with a charge of $10 for each additional child. For non-riders, there is a
social membership for $20.
Reichardt notes that when folks join the club, they would also access to a significantly lower insurance rates.
Membership forms can be downloaded on the club website at www.100milesnow mobile.com and dropped off with pay-ment at all 100 Mile House snowmobile

Primal Electric Milers Atom Development team started strong in a pair of weekend league games with Quesnel Thundercats, but lost steam as time pro-gressed.
Saturday evening’s match at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre had the Milers leading 2-0 midway through the second period, with Cole Allan and Spencer Haggstrom scoring the goals and Riley McLean in net.
Quesnel got seri-ous for the remainder of the game, knotting the score at 2-2 by the end of the second period, and then pot-ting the winning goal in the last minute of the final frame for a 3-2 vic-tory.
Sunday saw a lop-sided 9-1 victory for a hard-working Quesnel squad.
“The wheels just fell off the bus,” says Milers team manager Laura Sanders.
Primal Electric’s soli-tary goal was scored by Owen Pincott in the
last few minutes of the game, generating excite-ment from the team for avoiding a shutout.
Despite finishing the weekend with a couple of losses, Sanders says the 100 Mile House team has improved since the beginning of the season when Quesnel was able to beat them quite handily in every game.
She points to working hard and working as a unit as the strengths of the team.
“They’re start-ing to put their plays together that they have been taught. They have fun and have a lot of heart.”
The teams play in the Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association with Williams Lake.

Atom Development has tough weekend
Milers Nate Wolstenholme, sitting, was down but not out, as he helped teammate Ethan Sanders, right, regain the puck from Quesnel’s Michael Greenwood in Saturday’s Atom Development league game.
The 100 Mile Curling Club Business League finished a successful fall session on Dec. 17 with the Credit Union team ending up in first place with a perfect 9-0-0 record.
Team members included Shannon Nantel, Shelley Larson, Kristine Monnon and Chris Monnon.
The league plays Monday nights with six
teams whose skill levels range from rookies to those with a moderate amount of experience.
“Everyone had a lot of fun and learned lots,” says co-ordinator Dustin Leduc. “Games are played in a pretty relaxed atmosphere.”
The second-place team was Performance All Terrain; third was Donex; fourth, Royal Press; fifth, McCrea
Law; and in sixth place was Pharmasave.
The second half of the season gets rolling on Jan. 7 and finishes on March 25. There is cur-rently room for more teams and the cost per person is $90.
“Any and all skills lev-els are welcome,” says Leduc, who is an expe-rienced curler and is on the ice every Monday night to coach and offer
advice and strategy tips.For more informa-
tion contact Leduc at
250-395-4004 during the day and at 250-791-5347 in the evening.

Financial Tip of the Week
Janet HerrickCertified Financial
Planner
WithTips for paying off your Credit CardAverage Canadian household debt sits near record highs with the ratio of household debt to personal disposable income currently over 150%. The average Canadian has racked up over $25,000 in consumer, (non-mortgage), debt. Those who carry balances on high interest credit cards should be concerned with paying them off as soon as possible. Some suggestions: a) Always pay more than the minimum payment required on the card charging the highest interest. Once that balance has been paid off redirect the payments to the card with the next highest rate until all cards are at a zero balance.b) If you qualify for a credit card or line of credit offering a better interest rate consider a balance transfer and cancellation of existing credit cards.c) Do not use credit for anything not considered an emergency. If you can’t afford it don’t buy it.All information provided is collected with care, and we are not responsible for any omissions or errors.

In anticipation of heavy volumes at area emergency departments during the holiday season, the Interior Health Authority (IHA) reminds the public to take a few simple steps to avoid unnecessary trips to the hospital.
For non-urgent care during office hours, call your family doctor or the doctor on call for the practice or clinic.
Consider going to a local walk-in clinic, but call ahead to check the clinic’s hours.
Try to see your doc-tor before the holidays, if you have any develop-ing health concerns.
Note the holiday hours of your local pharmacy or drug store, and ensure your prescriptions are up-to-date and filled prior to the holidays.
Call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 for confidential health information and non-emergency servic-es 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.For deaf and hearing-
impaired assistance (TTY), call 7-1-1.
If you are concerned about a possible poi-soning or exposure to a toxic substance, call Poison Control at 1-800-567-8911.
If at any time you feel you require urgent medical attention, do not hesitate to go to the emergency department or call emergency ser-vices at 9-1-1.
IHA regional hospi-tals’ emergency services are available 24 hours a day; however, some hos-pitals may experience higher than normal volumes over the holi-days. A triage system is used at the emergency department to ensure priority is given to those patients requiring the most urgent care.
Tips for staying safe and healthy:
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, or use an alcohol-
based hand rub.• Get a flu shot.• Ensure your pre-
scriptions are filled in advance, follow dos-age directions and remember to keep your medications with you while travelling.
• Get regular exer-
cise and eat nutritious foods.
• Do everything in moderation, including consuming alcohol.
• Keep activities fun and safe.
• Take care driving and avoid taking risks with the weather.
Healthy tips for the holidays
The Christmas carols rang out seasonably sweet when residents of Fischer Place/Mill Site Lodge had a holi-day treat listening to the Buffalo Creek Elementary School hand bell choir per-form on Dec. 12.

People with demen-tia, their families, physicians and care providers now have new resources to help them better understand and manage the disease and provide a better qual-ity of life for British Columbians affected by dementia.
New guidelines for improved dementia care are now available online at www.health.gov.bc.ca/library/pub-lications/year/2012/bpsd-guideline.pdf.
These guidelines are based on national, evidence-based, best practices and provide added support for phy-sicians, nurses and care providers in decision-
making for persons with dementia. From assessment, to problem solving and care plan-ning, these guidelines promote the delivery of person-centred care for those with behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia.
New information has also been added to the HealthLink BC website to help indi-viduals with dementia and their families bet-ter understand and live with dementia, includ-ing information about the Alzheimer Society’s First Link program. By participating in First Link, those with dementia, their fami-lies and caregivers can
receive customized information and access to helpful programs and services.
For more infor-mation, visit www.alzheimerbc.org.

As the holiday season begins, the B.C. Liberal government is reminding British Columbia’s new-est drivers of safety-related licence restrictions that can put their travel plans in “park.”
Under B.C.’s Graduated Licensing Program (GLP), learner and novice drivers face extra con-ditions designed to give them time to learn key road safety skills and attitudes that save lives and reduce injuries for all road users. New drivers are more prone to crashes,
and one in four of their crashes result in an injury or death.
New drivers should keep the fol-lowing in mind as they plan parties and related travel:
• GLP drivers – whether they’re in the learner or novice stage – cannot have any alcohol in their body when they drive. Any alcohol in their system means an immedi-ate, 12-hour driving suspension.
• Learners must have a supervi-sor on board who is at least 25 years old, and can only carry one
other person. Novice drivers can carry only one passenger, unless accompanied by a supervisor or by passengers who are immediate family members.
• Learners are not permitted to drive between midnight and 5 a.m.
• GLP drivers cannot use hand-held or hands-free cell phones or any other electronic devices while driving. New drivers – particularly those under 25 – use electronic devices more than any other age category. This, combined with
their inexperience, makes them more vulnerable to driver distrac-tion.
• Remember to display an L or an N sign, as required by law, clearly visible on the back of your vehicle or inside the back window.
More experienced drivers can set a good example for their newer and younger counterparts by never drinking and driving.
Remember, impaired driving can cost you your life and those of others, not to mention your
licence, your vehicle and a lot more – about $600 in penalties if you blow a “warn” on an approved screening device at the roadside, and more than $4,000 if you blow a “fail.”
More details of immediate road-side penalties are at www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/osmv/prohibitions/impaired-driving.htm.
More information on GLP is available at www.icbc.com/driver-licensing/getting-licensed/graduated-licensing.

The Cariboo Roadhouse Restaurant has been a � xture in the Cariboo since the early 1900’s. I’ve been happy to continue the tradition of great meals, at the restaurant my mother, Margaret Tinling bought a few years ago.I’ve worked in the hospitality industry since I was twenty-one and received my Red Seal Chef’s training under Glen and Norma Clancy of Clancys’ Restaurant. We have a great staff here and more importantly so many loyal customers who are so very supportive. I’m very pleased to meet the new residents that are moving into the area and becoming steady customers too. We still offer our famous specials at the Roadhouse; Friday: � sh and chips; Saturday: steak all day; and Sunday: prime rib dinner.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!Submitted by Brenda McNabb, Cariboo Roadhouse

Jan. 5, 1981 - Dec. 24, 2007Little I knew that morning,
God was going to call your name,In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side.Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.We Love You And Miss Ya SportLove Dad, Mom, Tracy and Chelsey

ObituariesLAMPERTErna Elfriede
April 20, 1930 - Dec. 11, 2012On December 11, 2012 God called Erna home to be with him. She passed away peacefully in 100 Mile House Hospital. Erna was born April 20, 1930 to Waldmir and Elfriede Sommer in Poland.
In 1945 she, along with her parents and six siblings, � ed to Germany where she later met her beloved Heinz Lampert on December 25th 1950. Heinz and Erna were married on March 24 & 25 1951. On January 2, 1952 their � rst son, Heinz Artur, was born but died three days later. On January 29th, 1954 their second son, Rolf, was born.
Heinz, Erna and Rolf immigrated to Canada in August of 1955. They made their way to Revelstoke. A daughter, Diana, was born on January 27th, 1964, completing their family. May of 1972 saw Heinz and Erna, along with their two children, move to Clinton to own and operate the Central Market and in 1981 the 47 Mile Variety as well. They enjoyed their businesses and the people they grew to know and love. October 1994 saw them both retire. They took up ice � shing, and Erna began cooking for the Legion Ladies. Erna had remained active, until the last � ve years when her health changed.
August 7th, 2012 saw tragedy again when son Rolf passed away. Erna was also predeceased by her parents, and two sisters, Hilde and Kristal. She leaves behind her loving husband of 61½ years, Heinz; daughter Diana, loving son in-law Chris, grandchildren Katie, Tom (Claire), Sarah and Christine; and three great-grandchildren: Dria, Zaida, and Niveya. Erna also leaves her sisters, Margita (Heinz), Erica, brothers, Egon (Margot), Eberhard, Art (Cindy), and many nieces and nephews.
Funeral Services will be held graveside at the Kings Lake Cemetery, Hwy. 97 south of Clinton, at 12:15 p.m. on December 20, 2012 with a Celebration of Life to follow at the Clinton Memorial Hall at 1:00 pm.

House), Erma Tanner (Lac la Hache); and many nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly. Lawrence was predeceased by his parents Carrie and Ene Anthony and two brothers: Merlyn and Fultie.
Lawrence was born in North Noel Road, N.S. and moved to B.C. with his parents in 1959. He worked as a sawmill labourer and in the bush.
Lawrence had many friends who will really miss stopping at his home for a visit, a smile and a beer.

Social media offers the ability to immedi-ately connect with other people – and that has both good and bad implications.
Offering spaces where people virtually gather, social media is evolv-ing to establish rules about what is acceptable behaviour online. Safety needs to be part of that evolution.
The Canada Safety Council encourages safe social media practices. These following safety tips have been compiled in collaboration with social media expert David Hall.
• Recognize that anything you do or say online becomes part of the public domain. In other words, once it’s out there, it’s nearly impossible to complete-ly remove, even if you shut down your accounts.
• If it’s inappropriate in real life, it’s inap-propriate online, too. Never post anything to your social media pro-files that you wouldn’t be comfortable sharing with your employer or grandmother.
• Confidential infor-mation should remain confidential. This can include your cell phone number, home address, full birth date, credit card and banking infor-mation, etc. Educate yourself about the dan-gers of online predators and scams, and learn how to avoid problems.
• Understand and use the privacy set-tings of your social media accounts. Teach children and teens that social media reaches far beyond their group of friends. It extends to friends of friends and complete strangers.
• Monitor what other p e o p l e post on your social m e d i a p r o f i l e s . Again, if it’s potentially embarrass-ing or problematic, and especially if it reveals confidential details, delete the content as soon as possible.
• When posting on your friends’ profiles, consider whether you might be endanger-ing their safety by publicizing the infor-mation. For example, publicly talking about their upcoming vaca-tion dates may provide
would-be thieves with useful information on the best times to break into an unoccupied home. Talk about topics such as these in private messages instead.
• Be selective of who you add as friends and contacts on profiles, such as Facebook and LinkedIn. Just like in real life, some people have less than good motives for gathering
information. • If your safety is
compromised because of repeated harassment or abuse, learn how to block people and change your identity online. If necessary, shut down your social media pro-files, either temporarily or permanently. If you do decide to set up new profiles, make it diffi-cult for people to find you unless you invite
them to be part of your network.
• If you use a pub-lic or shared computer, remember to log out of your profiles before leaving the computer. Never share your pass-words.
• Parents, guardians and educators should monitor the social media activity of chil-dren and teens in their care. Open, honest con-
versations need to be had about safety online,
and what is and what is not allowed.

World AIDS Day, widely acknowledged
annually on Dec. 1, was the inspiration for a gathering of about 25 people at Canim Lake Reserve on Nov. 28
at the White Feather Family Centre.
A presentation was made by the Circle of Life HIV/AIDS Support
Group and following that, people had an opportunity to make an ornament in memory of loved-ones lost to AIDS.
Circle of Life spokes-person Gail Orr says the time taken at Christmas to remember gives people a feeling of sup-port and increases the awareness of AIDS.
Circle of Life mem-bership is open to the general public, and for more information, call 250-397-2717.

The Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School band and choir, with help from the Adult Community Band and the gui-tar class at 100 Mile House Junior Secondary, will add extra Christmas cheer to the season with a concert on Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. in the school gym-nasium.
People can look for-ward to an assortment of winter and standard music, with the school groups conducted
by program teacher Vanessa Toews.
“I’ve been having fun working with the kids and am looking forward to the concert. It will
be entertaining with a good variety of music.”
Admission will be by cash donation and she welcomes the general public to attend.

Falls are the most common cause of injury for British Columbia seniors, despite evidence that shows most are pre-ventable.
One in three British Columbians over the age of 65 will experience at least one fall every year. Injury from a fall often results in chronic pain, disability, reduced quality of life and is the main reason why older adults lose their independence.
Nearly 40 per cent of all fall-related hos-pitalizations involve a hip fracture, which greatly impacts the health and well-being of seniors, as well as the B.C. health-care system.
There are many resources available to help older adults stay fall and injury free, includ-ing videos, brochures, booklets and guides. The new edition of the BC Seniors’ Guide also provides tips on healthy aging and fall prevention.
In addition to providing resources, the B.C. Liberal government supports the pre-vention of falls by working with health authorities, health-care professionals, inju-ry-prevention experts and the public in developing fall-prevention projects and pro-grams, including:
• Strategies and Actions for Independent Living (SAIL) Falls Prevention Project –
a training program for community-health workers and home-health professionals that addresses falls and related risk factors among clients of publicly funded home support services. Health authorities are currently implementing SAIL and are expanding its scope across their regions.
• Framework and Toolkit for Fall Related Injury Prevention in Residential Care – resources for health-care professionals to support planning, implementation, distri-bution and evaluation of fall-prevention programs in residential care.
• The Canadian Falls Prevention Curriculum: www.canadianfallprevention.
ca – evidence-based training for health-care professionals on how to design, implement and evaluate a fall-prevention program.
• Primary Care Fall Prevention resources for physicians and other primary-care pro-viders to assist their patients to identify and reduce their fall risks.
Under BC’s Family Agenda, the provincial government invites your input on how to encourage seniors to stay safe, healthy and active. Visit: www.familiesfirstbc.ca to share your ideas.
For more information on fall prevention, visit SeniorsBC at www.gov.bc.ca/fall pre-vention.

With winter weather bearing down on central and northern British Columbia, BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) has seen an increase in motor-vehicle incidents and wants all residents to be aware that road conditions can change quickly.
Motorists need to be aware of the hazards of winter driving and how to adjust their driving to prevent accidents.
BCAS attends more than 486,000 events throughout the province annually and knows the added risks of driving in snow, ice and freezing rain. The following safety tips will help you stay safe on the roads this winter.
• Don’t take unnecessary chances. Check the weather forecast and avoid driving in poor conditions. If you must travel, allow yourself extra time or wait until conditions improve.
• Before you leave, be sure you have sufficient windshield washer fluid. Poor visibility can lead to unnecessary accidents.
• Keep your gas tank suf-ficiently full – at least half of a tank is recommended in case you run into lengthy delays; the extra weight also assists with traction.
BC Ambulance Service suggests carry-ing an emergency driving kit. A few items you should carry in your kit and will be
glad to have if necessary, include chains or a gritty substance to
help with traction if you get stuck, a shovel, safety cones or reflectors, jumper cables, ice scraper, flashlight,
matches and a candle, blan-ket, non-perishable food, emergency phone numbers and a fully charged cell
phone.• Reduce your speed according to the
conditions. BC Ambulance Service recom-mends a four-second gap between you and the car in front during winter driving con-ditions to help give you plenty of time to respond to hazards. Avoid braking suddenly as it can cause you to skid. If you do start to skid, take your foot off of the brake and put the car into neutral. It is also recommended that while steering out of a skid that you look in the direction you want the car to go.
• If you need help, pull off the road to make or receive a call on your cell phone. Be sure to keep your hazard lights on, and if it is safe, place cones or reflectors in an angle behind your vehicle to assist with visibility.

Mayan calendar – the end, beginning or nothing at all

As Dec. 21, the end date of the 5,125-year cyclic Mayan Long Calendar, draws near, people around the world are prepar-ing for what they fear or eagerly anticipate may happen.
Some see it as the end of life on Earth, predicted by the ancient people, while oth-ers welcome the date as one of universal peace and spiritual enlightenment.
Some people believe any resulting event is based on a misinterpretation of the cal-endar, which simply indicates the end of a major cycle known by the Mayan culture as the 13th b’ak’tun.
Mayan scholars agree the ancient Mayans would not have regarded this day as the end of the Earth and present-day descendants of the culture indeed see Dec. 21 as the end of one great era and the beginning of a new one.
The list of predicted scenarios for the
date, which is also the winter solstice, goes on and on. It includes a cataclysmic collision with a hidden planet, which the ancient Sumerians referred to as Nibiru. While the supposed planet has never been detected by modern astronomical instruments, and scientists have a pretty good handle on what’s floating around out there, the prediction remains a popular one.
There is also a belief the Earth’s oceans will swallow all land in a worldwide tidal wave and at least two men in China have built huge arks to weather the storm.
A businessman in eastern China came up with a three-ton yellow steel ball, named Atlantis, which he designed to survive almost any disaster thrown in its path, including tsunami, volcano and even nuclear meltdown. The Atlantis is priced at approximately $799,500 US and he has apparently received at least 21 orders.
There is rumour of the Pic de Bugarach in the Pyrenees Mountains of France as being an alien garage for a spaceship that will emerge on Dec. 21, carrying aliens that live beneath the rock, and perhaps a few fortunate earthlings to safety. UFO chasers are also predicting that the tiny town will be the one place on Earth saved from destruction.
Locals in the town of Bugarach are said to be profiting from selling apocalypse merchandise to tourists who are flocking to the area, but the mayor of the town is concerned for the safety of visitors who may attempt to climb the mountain and will be closing it off from all but the locals on Dec. 21.
This isn’t the first time in history that predictions for the world’s end have been made. There have been more than 100, including Jan. 1, 1000 when many Christians in Europe believed Christ would return on that date.
Christian armies waged war on some of the pagan countries, attempting to convert them before the big day, but just like Y2K on Jan. 1, 2000, the day came and went without incident.
One of the more recent doomsday predictions was for May 21, 2011, which some believed the Bible indi-
cated would be Rapture and Judgement Day, when God’s select people would be taken up into heaven. Five months later, on Oct. 21, 2011, the actual end of the world was expected to happen. Again, the prophecy had its share of people worried, but we’re all still here.
A recent Ipsos survey of 16,262 peo-ple in 21 countries found 10 per cent of global citizens agree “the Mayan calendar, which some say ends in 2012, marks the end of the world.” Of the roughly 1,000 Canadians polled, nine per cent held that belief.
Now, before we fret too much about the Mayan calendar coming to an end, we must keep one thing in mind. Our mod-ern calendar ends each and every Dec. 31, but the world goes on, and it’s not just because new calendars are printed.
Putting together a new edition each year is easy for us because we’re only dealing with 12 months. Anyone who takes on a new edition of the Mayan calendar is look-ing at more than 5,000 years of coverage.
Who has time for that anymore? Inhabitants of the Mayan city of Tulum would have followed the Mayan calendar. Arlene Jongbloets photos

Owing to the win-ter weather conditions, parents are reminded to send an extra set of clothes to Mile 108 Elementary School for their children.
Congratulations go out to both Grade 6 and 7 volleyball teams for winning the south end school tournaments. The students showed excellent sportsmanship and had a lot of fun.
This year’s Christmas concert is called A Pirate’s Christmas. Everyone is welcome to join the students on Dec. 20 at 1 and 6:30 p.m.
Admission is by donation, which will be given to the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society.
Please note the school is closed for the Christmas break, starting Dec. 21 and is back in session on Jan. 7, 2013.
Christmas marketThe 108 Mile
Ranch Community Association (RCA) had its Christmas Market on Dec. 2.
The attendance
was fantastic with more than 300 peo-ple taking advantage of the 26 tables set with extremely well-done items for great Christmas gifts.
A few examples of the tables:
• A lady was selling a number of books that you put on the coffee table with titles, such as The Bowron Lakes, The Cariboo and The Chilcotin, which was already sold out when I got there and the owner was away get-ting more.
• Two men were sell-ing pens made out of rifle bullets (the pen is mightier than the sword). The vendors are from Lone Butte.
There where a num-ber of different styles and colours to choose from, and they dem-onstrated how the pens were assembled and
how they produced the different products used in making the pens.
• Outside the main doors, there was a trail-er with Ron Dyck of the 108 Sausage Company. He was handing out samples of the many items they make.
The winner of the
raffle basket was Deb Deck from the 108 Mile Ranch.
There were so many great items for sale. The vendors did great work and we thank
them for giving us the opportunity to view these products.
As for Ingrid Meyer, she and her staff did a fantastic job, and we thank them for an enjoyable event.
Winter weatherWinter is here at
last, and I hope you have the correct tires on your vehicle for this time of year, as safety is important and we still have children going to school.
Did you check the trees on your lot after the windstorm? A num-ber of trees fell during the storm, so if you have any tree concerns, it is suggested you get your trees checked just in case there is a
safety problem.Do not forget to have
some salt and sand ready for those icy sidewalks around your home, as it can be very serious if you fall, espe-cially for the elderly.
News neededIf you have any com-
munity events, get well, birthday or anniversary wishes and any other information you would like to share with the 108 Ranch, give me a call at 250-791-9235 or e-mail [email protected].
Merry ChristmasI would like to wish
everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from our home to yours.

School teachers in the South Cariboo might remember Axel Matfin as a student who always had his nose in a book and finger on some kind of wild writing project.
Now, as the 25-year-old publishes his first novel, Bartender, Darkness on the Edge of Town, he’s thank-ing those educators for their support, understand-ing and the sometimes blind eye they turned to his behav-iour.
Darkness is the first book in his The Bartender mys-tery trilogy and Matfin launched it in style on Nov. 26 at Calabash – a trendy restaurant in Vancouver’s Gastown.
An upbeat atmosphere
and live piano music set the stage for what Matfin thinks was the perfect event for his 90 guests.
He works in the restaurant industry to pay the bills and says he as learned a lot about cultivating mood.
“Most book launches are pretty dry, and I was going to make this one good.”
Still a virtual unknown in the tough Vancouver writ-ing community, Matfin has since been hitting the pave-ment hard with his book, building an ever-thickening hide as he tries to convince book stores to stock his novel.
Matfin self-published the book under his own company, Adventure Publishing, after coming to terms with the reality that nobody was going to do it for him. A team of hired art-
ists created the slick cover and logo and Matfin says he feels he’s on the right path now.
Just after secondary school graduation, he had little more than a lot of opti-mism in his pockets when he left his country home in Lone Butte for a place and a writing future in Vancouver. It didn’t take him long to be humbled and realize he didn’t yet have what it takes to compete as an author in the big city.
“It wasn’t like writing in 100 Mile, where anything was good enough. I slugged it out for the first two years just writing blogs in an arts scene that seems exclusive and superficial.”
Matfin has never had a doubt about being a serious writer. He has a voracious appetite for reading which
manifested early. He talks about sneak-
ing books out of his elementary school library without signing them out because he seemed to always have his allowed quota of books.
It drove his mom, Barb Matfin, nuts, and although threats of squealing on him were constant, he was never reprimanded by the school librarian.
“I think my teachers actu-ally figured it was kind of cool that I wanted to read so much, so nobody ever said anything.”
By the age of 15, he’d writ-ten two books, which, as a young and naive teen, he had high hopes for.
“They never got pub-lished, but that was probably for the best. It was just part of the learning curve.”

Rather than hav-ing a regular meeting, Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary (LA) members treated themselves to a Christmas party Dec. 5.
Some 40 ladies attend-ed, including guests
Jocelyne Colbert, Marion Horton, Natalie McCaw, Vanessa Ooms, Nancy Pinder and Michelle Turley.
In addition to the usual silly games and wondrous eats, the ladies held an in-house raffle of self-donated items. Fifteen of the ladies won one of the gift baskets, and the raffle made $428, which will be donated to a good cause.
The LA’s Jan. 9 meet-ing will determine who is to receive the money.
New businessNewcomers to Higgins
Lake, Vanessa Ooms and Vincent Zadworny, otherwise known as “V-Squared,” have opened a small engine repair shop.
Located in what was Wildmans at lnterlakes Corner, the shop repairs snowmobiles, ATV’s and motorcycles, as well as all small engines.
Vincent has been a mechanic for 12 years, and Vanessa, whose background is in busi-ness management and graphic design, is apprenticing with him.

Sampling Christmas baking and testing a new brewer was reason enough for all the ladies on Boultbee Road to enjoy a coffee party on Dec. 10.
It happened to be the day snow started falling at 8 a.m. and continued all day until six inch-es of snow blanketed everything outdoors. After their noon walk on the road, the ladies happily labelled it “an inside day” and enjoyed their beverages and goodies.
Friends gatheredThirteen members of
the Friends of Lac des
Roches and Birch Lake Society attended the annual general meeting Dec. 9.
A summarization of the meeting and other community informa-tion will be posted on the group’s web-site at www.lacdes roches.org.
Festive spiritslive hereSeveral residents have
adorned their homes and yards with dazzling
displays of decorative lights, giving the neigh-bourhood a wonderful festive feel going into the holiday season.
Christmas deco-rations on a small evergreen tree, grow-ing on the side of Highway 24 near the Wavey Lake turnoff has caught the eye of many residents.
The anonymous dec-orators have certainly caused many drivers’ heads to turn and emit a
chuckle at this surpris-ing show of Christmas spirit on the edge of the wilderness.
Improved communicationIt has been several
years since a notice appeared in the 100 Mile House Free Press, indicating TELUS would be providing cel-lular phone service to the area.
Until now, an ade-quate signal near the lake has been sporadic or non-existent. On Nov. 30, a communica-tion tower was erected on the mountain north of the McDonald rest stop.
Workers confirmed that connecting and testing take about two weeks before the
tower is functioning. Evidently, newer tech-nology may make some older phones obsolete, but residents seem quite willing to invest in newer phones in order to take advantage of this new service.
Share the roadThe Wavey Lake
Forest Service Road is a busy place and will continue to be so dur-ing the snowmobiling season.
Sledders access-ing trails can expect encounters with logging trucks during the week and possibly snow plows on the weekends on the 10 kilometres, from Highway 24 to the 205 or Meridian Lake Road.

While a couple of A&W restaurants in the Kamloops area were the top 2 British Columbia fundraisers in the Fourth Annual Cruisin’ for a Cause Day on Aug. 23 across Canada, the 100 Mile
House franchise also raised a fair chunk of cash.
Local manager Sylvia Cahoon says slightly more than $1,000 was donated by customers to support the Multiple Sclerosis Society of
Canada.However, Cahoon says
she still feels it wasn’t enough.
“Our franchise was hop-ing to raise about $3,000, but the poor economy
didn’t help things.”The Columbia Place
A&W Restaurant raised $8,825 and was the top store in B.C. and the Fortune Plaza A&W Restaurant raised
$7,699, and came in second in the province. The 2012
campaign had $1 from each Teen Burger sold on Aug. 23 donated to the cause and custom-
ers made cash donations
and also purchased cut-out licence plates to add to the total.
Cahoon says they’ll be getting to work on next year’s campaign early in the new year.

Logging input soughtLocal organizations
have been notified by the Kamloops Forest District office that new logging southeast of Lac des Roches is slated for the years 2013/14.
Property owners are invited to submit writ-ten input into the plan by Dec. 31. Contact the writer for more details.
Ice is diceyIce may have formed
on Little Lac des Roches in late November, but the big lake is a lot slow-er to develop solid ice
this year.Mild temperatures
and wind account for thin or lack of ice around the lake. Heavy snowfall on Dec. 10 and 11 has the effect of insulating the thin ice and pushing water up through holes.
Thin ice and a slushy layer on top is definitely not ideal ice conditions for safe winter play, so extreme caution must be exercised for a while yet.
Birders contributeThe 113th Christmas
Bird Count for our area is schedule for Jan. 3 and is a great way to spend a winter’s day with family
and friends.Bird activity is a known
indicator of environmen-tal threats and the data collected by volunteers throughout the world is used extensively for wild-life management of all species.
Call Wendy at 250-593-2327 if you are interested
in participating.
Christmas cheerTo all the residents and
readers interested in our little corner of the South Cariboo, I wish you a very happy Christmas, a safe holiday and a prosperous and healthy new year.

Escaping inclement weather with an armful of groceries becomes frustrating when a sticking door handle denies you access. Loosen up an uncooperative doorknob by lubricating the inner mechanism known as a latchbolt or realigning an askew door. A few turns of the screwdriver could create an easier opening action, making this activity less physically taxing and your home more secure. In some cases, the inner latching mechanism wears down due to use, and a replacement is necessary.1. Jiggle the doorknob in an attempt to jar loose the stuck part. Though a simple � x, the problem may be that the springs are not being properly engaged or the latch is failing to retract/extend.
2. Spray the doorknob mechanism with lubricant and turn the knob a few times to help spread the lubricant. Inspect the mechanism on both sides for rust. If rust is present, remove it with a wire brush, and spray lubricant on the mechanism to keep it working properly.
3. Check the latch. If the latch is retracted and the door knob will not turn, the latch may be misaligned and caught on something. Place a � athead screwdriver just above the latch, and tap it with a hammer. Repeat on the underside of the latch to attempt to free it.
4. Inspect the doorknob assembly more closely. Remove the screws from the plate and remove the doorknob from the door. Look inside the doorknob for obstructions or breaks in the mechanism. Remove any obstructions from the assembly with needle-nose pliers. Replace the doorknob if the assembly is broken.
Also, keep door keys clean to prevent lock jamming!

The LA was delighted to welcome Vanessa to its Christmas party and looks forward to see-ing more of her, and the community wishes V-Squared the very best of luck in their new ven-ture.
Citra on fireMany congratula-
tions to the lnterlakes’ most famous children’s author, Becky Citra, on recently being awarded the readers’ choice Red Cedar Book Award for her novel, After the Fire, which was published in 2010.
This came about after a panel of librarians selected 10 books, and then children had to read five of them and vote for their favourite.
The children voted After the Fire best in the fiction category, which was particularly reward-ing for Citra.
Recycling100 Mile’s Gold Trail
Recycling (Exeter Road on Sollows Crescent) has always accepted hard plastic No. 2.
Now, after some two years negotiating, resi-
dents will be delighted to know they are accept-ing all hard plastics. This would include most household containers of consumables, such as ketchup, bleach and vin-egar. Naturally, all must be washed and cleaned before sending them in to be recycled.
Gold Trail is now also accepting all electronic items.
