A complete nesting failure at the only confirmed White American Pelican breeding lake in B.C. has left local wildlife biologist Julie Steciw extremely disappointed and searching for answers.

“This year I was looking forward and very optimistic that we would have a successful breeding season at Stum Lake,” Steciw said Monday.

Steciw has been monitoring the endangered birds at Stum Lake for Natural Resource Operations since mid1990 and says a total failure, which occurs when there are no chicks after breeding season, can happen for a number of reasons — human disturbance, wildlife disturbance or low flying aircraft.

Some extra funds are provided by Victoria for rural and remote school status, First Nation needs and other special considerations, but public school funding is primarily based on student enrolment.

While final figures won’t be available until later this month, Thiessen said student enrolment in School District 27 this year may be higher than originally projected.

“At this point, we are cautiously optimistic that enrolment may be higher than expected,” Thiessen said.

“Our student enrolment numbers are never firm until Sept. 30, but we feel that we may not have lost as many students as we have in previous years.”

Cops for Cancer riders Const. Steve Stewart and Const. Brendan Charna talk to detainee Dr. Sahba Kiah at the Cops for Cancer Jail n’ Bail fundraiser Thursday at Spirit Square.

Cops for Cancer make arrests Angie Mindus Staff Writer More than 30 reputable Williams Lake citizens were arrested and held for a good cause Wednesday.

The annual Jail n’ Bail fundraiser saw many unsuspecting people “arrested” from their workplaces throughout the day and put inside a

makeshift cell at Spirit Square downtown until they made bail of $500 each for the upcoming Cops for Cancer Tour de North.

Organizers said more than $22,000 was raise at the Jail n’ Bail, beating neighbouring Quesnel in fundraising for the event.

Erin Hay of SD 27 said she was “very

surprised” to be arrested for the event, but suspected her husband Const. Dan Hay had something to do with it.

For Carrie Julius, the first call she made after her “arrest” was to a friend who texted her after seeing her being taken away in a police car from her workplace. Her second was to her hus-

band for a donation.

Cops for Cancer Tour de North participants were headed up to Dawson Creek Thursday to start their fundraising ride Friday morning.

The team is scheduled to arrive back in Williams Lake Thursday, Sept. 19 in the late afternoon at the Williams Lake and District Credit Union.

AN APPLE A DAY...

Exercises like swimming, jogging and cycling are aerobic because the muscles demand a continuous stream of oxygen to burn the energy stored in their cells. Strength-training exercises like weight-lifting are considered non-aerobic since the energy is derived mainly from biochemical reactions not oxygen. But both types of exercises are important to good health.

Obesity research is going in the direction of the microchip.

In the future, it’s hoped that a microchip can be implanted in the vagus nerve. This nerve sends hunger signals to the brain. The chip may be able to send another message to override the vagus message and, in essence, control appetite. Still a little way in the future.

In Canada, over 3 million women and one million men suffer from migraine headaches. Sixty percent have more than one attack per month. One of the many triggers of migraine headaches is dehydration. You can avoid that trigger by drinking more water and limiting caffeine intake. Simple things that just may help.

Pharmacists and doctors encourage you to take most antibiotic medication for a set length of time. It is based on research on how long it takes to eradicate an infection.

This varies with the bacteria and the antibiotic. So to get the most out of your antibiotic prescription, take it for the number of days the doctor orders.

As your pharmacist, our job is to make sure you understand how to get the most from your medication. We’ll reinforce important information so, as in the case of an infection, you’ll get better more quickly.

Hooker desperate to stop logging plans Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Putting pen to paper is not generally Bee Hooker’s style.

Normally the Big Lake logger is busy working at a new Imperial Metals mine site near Dease Lake.

But these days when he is home, however, he’s part of a working group that’s been keeping tabs on a proposed community forest by the city of Williams Lake and the Williams Lake Indian Band that would involve land near the communities of Big Lake, Horsefly, Miocene and Pine Valley.

“They submitted their final application to the Ministry of Forests on Aug. 22 so we had a meeting last Sunday

Big Lake logger Bee Hooker is protesting a community forest application by the city and Williams Lake Indian Band.

and I was really choked no representatives were there from the city or the band,” Hooker said Monday.

After the meeting, Hooker wrote a 1,000 word letter to the editor he submitted to the Tribune/Weekend Advisor on Monday and emailed copies to several parties.

His letter opens with: “Clearcut Boitanio Park,” suggests people boycott business in Williams Lake and warns he’ll blockade the community forest if he has to.

These aren’t things he really wants to do, but said he wants people to get active and write letters.

“I want to grab people’s attention,” Hooker said. “This is taxation without representation

basically.”

Mayor Kerry Cook wasn’t sent a copy of Hooker’s letter, however, confirmed at Tuesday’s city council meeting the city and the band received an invitation Monday, Sept. 2 to attend the meeting in Miocene.

“Our partner was unable to attend on short notice so I wanted to clarify that we did respond that we would welcome the opportunity to come and discuss the contents of the final application, but we were unable to attend,” Cook told council.

She added they have asked community forest manager Ken Day to arrange a “mutually agreed to date” for a meeting later in the fall with the affected rural communities.

Back to school road checks to continue RCMP checked 2024 vehicles during their Back to School Zone campaign Sept. 3 to 6.

The numbers are totals for the week.

The following infractions were identified, reported police Sept. 9.

Seatbelt infractions: 23.

Cellphone (distracted driver) infractions: 5.

Motor Vehicle Act charges: 46.

Traffic notices issued: 14.

Controlled Drugs and Substances Act infractions: 2.

The campaign is continuing.

Sept. 7 • About 4 a.m. Sept. 7 police were informed a truck had turned around on Highway 20 near the Meldrum Creek Road to avoid police.

Police arrived at the pullout on Highway 20 west of Williams Lake and set up two spike strips and parked their

vehicles on the side of the road with their lights flashing.

The only description of the suspect vehicle was a truck.

After about five to ten minutes a vehicle approached from the west and flashed its high beams a few times then slowed to a reasonable speed to approach a road check.

As the vehicle was approaching police, one of the officers shone his flashlight into the vehicle. The driver covered his face and accelerated to the east. Police attempted to engage the use of the spike strips to stop the truck but were unsuccessful. The vehicle was last seen accelerating up the hill towards Chimney Valley Road.

The vehicle is described as a black 1990s Chevrolet pickup with a black canopy and silver boat rack. The driver

was wearing a white hoodie and there were three male passengers in the truck. Other police officers were in the area and attempted to contain the vehicle. A search of the area roads was started but the vehicle could not be located.

• During the early morning hours of Sept.

7, a person attempted to break into a vehicle

in the 3000 block of Mackenzie Avenue. The thief was confronted by neighbours, then fled from the area on a stolen bicycle. Several related incidents in the area were reported shortly afterwards.

Anyone with information about this incident or any other crime is asked to call police at 250-392-6211.

ENDANGERED: Species

Complete nesting failure for pelicans Continued From Page A1 She doesn’t know what is responsible this time around.

In May, Steciw and former wildlife biologist Jim Young counted 500 nests at the site.

When they returned in July there should have been a “sea of white” on the islands.

“Usually there are chicks or they have re-nested, but there was nothing,” Steciw confirmed.

Steciw says there was also a total failure during the 2009 season and there have been partial failures ever since.

In 2010 woodchuck burrows were discovered all over the island and Steciw began to wonder if that

Pelican chicks and adults on Puntzi Lake represent nesting success while Stum Lake experienced a complete nesting failure this year. was the problem.

With the help of conservation officer Ken Owens she successfully trapped the woodchuck in 2012.

“We thought we’d

solved the problem of the nesting failures,” Steciw said.

But there is a positive twist in this story.

After learning of the nesting failure, Steciw

said a local biologist told her she had seen eight pelican nests with two eggs in each one on a small skinny island at Puntzi Lake.

Then confirmation

arrived last week of a hatching success when Steciw received a photograph of young pelicans taken by someone who was fishing there.

“With his photo, it confirms those eggs hatched,” she said.

“There were three chicks in the photo and a couple adults. It would be pretty interesting if they started nesting elsewhere or were forced to.”

The thought that they can nest successfully elsewhere is exciting, she added.

During her observations, Steciw has learned to appreciate pelicans as “large, gangly and interesting” birds.

“The biology of it is so interesting,” she said. “They are sitting on the nest, trad-

ing off and when they come in to trade off, sometimes they come in hundreds at a time.

They do a lot of neat vocalization too.”

One of her worries is that unlike Stum Lake, there is no protection for pelicans at Puntzi Lake.

“You aren’t allowed on Stum Lake during breeding season and it’s pretty difficult to get into the area,” she said.

Steciw is asking anyone who observes pelicans to record their name, phone number, the date, number of pelicans, and identify the location with a dot on a Google Earth map if possible, and contact her at Natural Resource Operations, 250-398-4671 or Julie.

Breeding records for pelicans at Stum Lake date back to May 1939.

The first census was taken in 1953.

The pelicans normally return to the Cariboo at the end of March or April.

If Stum Lake is still frozen, they will visit other lakes to forge for food.

In May they can be seen on local lakes and creeks forging for spawning suckers.

When there is no disturbance to the colony, of the one to four eggs in a nest, on average only .75 fledge per nest.

A banding project several years ago verified the Stum Lake pelicans stay in the western side of the Continental Divide.

They migrate to Washington, Oregon, California and primarily Western Mexico. Three of the band returns were from the left side of the Continental Divide, although that was rare, wildlife bi-

Hunting season underway Hang onto your hats, hunting season is officially underway.

As always, it promises to be a busy one for our local conservation officers and they need all the help they can get from the public to keep the season clean and protect our resources from the handful of bad apples out there.

Sgt. Len Butler, head of the Cariboo Chilcotin zone, says he and officers Jeff Tyre and Justyn Bell have already received complaints through the government’s RAPP line, including one that came in last week regarding a dump site at 150 Mile House.

Butler said he’d like the public’s help in finding the persons responsible for dumping the remains of two young mule bucks butchered, quartered and stuffed into garage bags and left Sept. 5 or 6 about a kilometre up the Redeau Lake Road.

Butler said he couldn’t determine whether the kill was legal because bow season was open at the time, however wasting meat or leaving bags of rotting carcasses in a residential area is not only illegal but obviously not good hunting etiquette, and he is encouraging the public to call the RAPP line if they have information on this incident.

On a brighter note, Butler says it was a great opening day Tuesday with no major incidents to report.

Even though he’s been in his job for many years, Butler says he, like many local hunters, still get excited about opening day and is happy to be working

jail n’ bail supporters

in an area where “hunting is not a bad word.”

He says the service will be keeping hunters in check with many roving patrols and plan to pay extra attention to those more remote locations in our area this year.

Besides hunting, the conservation officer service has also been fielding more complaints regarding human-wildlife conflicts.

Last week was a prime example of that, with a cougar being spotted on Woodland Drive and a grizzly bear attack at Bella Coola.

In the case of the cougar, Butler said the animal has left the area for now but they are reminding the public to be aware of their surroundings this time of year and report further sightings.

In last Friday’s grizzly attack, Butler said the conservation officer service’s predator attack team investigated the incident.

Butler said investigators monitored the site where the attack took place for 35 hours and found the bear only returned once at night.

Along with information from the attack, the bear’s behaviour following the attack, and in consultation with the community, the team ultimately determined it was not necessary to destroy the bear.

The Bella Coola valley is certainly a divided community when it comes to beliefs of whether a bear is worth more dead or alive, and this incident is providing more fuel for that debate.

Bob’s list for campaign consideration I see that at the Liberal convention recently they voted to legalize marijuana. Well, I have a thing to say about that.

Firstly, the idea that it is addictive is false.

I have friends who have been smoking it steady for years and they are not addicted.

I would hope you join the Liberals and me in our campaign to legalize marijuana. Now this, of course, leads me to consider other campaigns that I would like to espouse such as: • Buy local, eat local, bank local and think local.

• To stop people from talking too much and start listening.

• Get people to give up TV for a month and read more.

• Stop people from eating hamburgers to save the Amazon Rain Forest, which is being cut down rapidly to grow beef (I’m

sure we can succeed here).

• Give all teenagers with raging hormones the vote.

• Have everyone adopt three cats to solve their over population problem.

• Stop everyone from buying into the propaganda of TV commercials.

(And don’t believe them when they say: “While supplies last.”

They have warehouses full of the stuff).

• Make everyone take up horseback riding. If they can’t get out and walk, at least they can get out. (Besides, it will help support the dude ranches up here in the Cariboo).

• Make all bureaucrats work in the private sector for a year and if they survive without getting fired, give them their old job back. Hopefully, the wiser.

• Make everyone healthier by asking them to eat less junk food and switch to sprouts. (I’m sure we can talk them into it, given a few generations).

• A campaign to question everything Big Pharma tells you.

• Likewise to question everything Big Oil tells you.

• To not believe the government when they say: “Don’t worry about a thing, everything

is under control, we’re handling it.”

• Get rid of Haggis forever.

• Stop people from stealing cheese. Apparently its the most stolen food in the world. (No doubt as the cost is approaching that of a bar of gold).

• Stop Viagra from sponsoring hockey games. It can’t be all that bad. Okay so its the fastest selling drug in U.S. history. (It’s too bad I didn’t have stock in Pfizer.

Those little blue pills have really taken off).

• Forbid people to spend their lives completely concerned with sex. (This is bound to be a tough one).

• Have people tune into the OM channel so they can spend their day in meditative bliss.

• Drink more tea. Guess what?

Nine billion cups of tea are drunk in Canada each year. Now

divide that by roughly 33 million people and exclude those pesky coffee drinkers and little children, how many cups per person a day is that? You do the math, its far too complicated for me.

• Have everyone carve their own totem pole and stick it in front of their house. Thus proclaiming their lineage and animal totem.

• Stop the obsessive/compulsives from pushing the elevator button after its been pushed by someone else and is already lit up.

• Ask people to assume a real identity when it comes to revealing who they are and stop playing games.

• And finally, lets start a campaign to get people to use their God-given intelligence for once.

(OK I admit this is a bit cynical, but believe me!).

UBCM hopes to cure community cash crunch VICTORIA – Local politicians from across B.C. are in Vancouver Sept. 16 to 20 to take part in the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

There will be trivia reported as news, such as the cost of hotels.

Suggestions to license mobility scooters or lower speed limits to 40 km/h, dreamed up in Vancouver Island retirement locales, will be rejected by delegates from the rest of the province.

Serious discussion will revolve around a report by a UBCM executive committee to reshape the financial relationship between the province and local governments.

If this proposal gets the support it deserves, Premier Christy Clark’s government will be asked to undo a couple of decades of political meddling in that relationship.

One problem for local governments is that they depend on property tax, a stable source of revenue but one that has no relationship to the property owner’s ability to pay. It tends to load costs onto lower-income groups such as seniors and renters.

Economic growth results mainly in increased corporate and personal income tax revenues as well as sales taxes, which aren’t shared with local governments.

One key proposal is to return to a system of revenue sharing grants introduced by the Social Credit government in the 1980s. They were funded by one point each from personal and corporate income tax and six per cent of sales,

fuel and resource tax revenues, thus increasing in years when provincial revenues were strong.

The UBCM proposal is to put a share of provincial revenues into an infrastructure bank, to be distributed by the organization on a more stable basis.

Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, one of the authors of the report, uses a basketball analogy to describe the current system of federal-provincial grants for road and bridge projects. It’s a “jump ball,” where communities have to apply to a fund when it’s offered and then see who gets it.

Even if a community wins the jump ball, they may find themselves with costs inflated by a hot construction market and an arbitrary deadline to get the job done.

Then there are new regulations imposed by senior governments.

The most dramatic example these days is a 2020 federal deadline for Greater Victoria to construct land-based sewage treatment.

Even with federal and provincial

cost sharing, this project is going to land heavily on property tax bills, including those of pensioners and poor renters who will have it passed on to them.

Leonard points to another arbitrary system, provincial facilities that pay grants in lieu of property taxes. Saanich is home to the University of Victoria, a community of 25,000 people that needs water and sewer service, as well as police and fire protection. Saanich gets an annual grant in lieu of property taxes of $120,000 for UVic, enough to cover wages and

benefits for one cop and maybe some gas money.

Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, co-chair of the UBCM committee, is concerned about new water and flood protection legislation the province is preparing to impose. His district and others like it have thousands of kilometres of riverfront, with relatively few property owners.

Interior communities also want BC Hydro to pay something for power lines, as is now being done with some aboriginal territories.

Local politicians will be ex-

pecting a sympathetic ear from the new version of the B.C. Liberal government. Former Quesnel councillor Coralee Oakes is the new community, sport and cultural development minister, with direct responsibility for local government issues.

And one of the original members of this UBCM committee was former Langley City mayor Peter Fassbender, who is now minister of education.

Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews.com.

Consider councillor innocent until proven guilty With due respect to all of those who toil in the political realm, there is some thought that those people are crooks.

I have heard from folks who think politicians are crooked and dishonest.

My personal view is that this kind of thinking is hogwash.

Do those individuals with that belief think Donna Barnett and Coralee Oakes are crooks?

Do they think Charlie Wyse and Walt Cobb were dishonest when they were in politics?

I don’t think anyone on city council should be called a crook.

They work hard for our community.

Sure, there have been politicians who have been crooked but there have also been plumbers and lawyers, along

Contemplating Ken

with Ken Wilson

with other groups of people, who have not been above board but does that mean we should call their whole profession crooked?

I don’t think so.

I have heard some very rude comments regarding Surinderpal Rathor since he was charged with obstruction of

justice.

I prefer to think the longserving Williams Lake councillor is not guilty and will wait until the matter is through the courts before I make any further judgement.

He has worked very hard for this community, not only in his position of councillor, but as a volunteer as well.

So before you criticize Mr. Rathor, please wait for the results of the court.

In my estimation there are many people who find it easy to criticize, however, they are slow with comments that may be positive.

What is with individuals who only see black and not white?

Perhaps the same people who do not vote in elections are the same folk that believe politicians are all crooks.

*** What is up with Mr. Hooker of Big Lake these days?

He sure has a bee in his bonnet regarding the proposed Community Forest with the City of Williams Lake and the Williams Lake Indian Band.

The current city council of Williams Lake and the Williams Lake Indian Band have submitted their application to the Regional Manager of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, without the support of my community or the support of Horsefly or Miocene, says Hooker.

He states that he is prepared to be arrested as he stands in front of logging equipment to block the road leading to the community forest.

Here is what Steve Forseth stated in a recent blog.

“As a city resident — I would implore Williams Lake City Council to ‘pull back from the brink’ on this file and actively engage the folks at Big Lake, Horsefly and Miocene before we do some permanent damage to our relationship with our rural neighbours living out at Big Lake, Miocene and Horsefly.”

Good comment, Steve.

I think Hooker should take a look at other methods to get the attention of those involved with the community forest, rather than taking up a civil disobedience stand. *** There was a budget meeting for the city, held in the Gibraltar Room. Did you go?

I was out of town but I hope many did take the time to put some input towards the budget deliberations of this city.

Growth continues in Westridge subdivision Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake developer Luigi Mandarino is happy city council has approved a development variance for his Mandarino South and Eagle Crescent extension.

Mandarino’s latest venture will allow a minimum setback of 2.2 metres for principal buildings on a lot, in a developing section of Westridge.

“But people shouldn’t get stuck on that,” Mandarino said Wednesday morning at

the site. “That 2.2 metre setback is the minimum. The minimum says you can’t be any closer, but you can be farther away.”

There’s a building envelope on each lot and the principal building has to be built inside that envelope. There is flexibility, he added.

Some of the lots are sloped and will require more fill or will drive the decision of where to place a home.

“It’s much more expensive to put in the geotechnical fill. People are going to say they don’t want to spend an

Williams Lake developer Luigi Mandarino is moving forward with his next venture. extra $20,000 so they will go the other way,” he explained.

There has been criticism that some buyers

might place trailers on the lots, which are allowed in a Single Family Residential Zone, however Mandarino

said they have to be module homes on a foundation.

“Again, you’ve got to be socially responsible,” he said. “Not everybody can afford a $400,000 home.”

At the regular council meeting Tuesday, Mandarino outlined improvements to the original project application.

He has eliminated three lots from the original proposal.

On the corners of Eagle Crescent and the future Mandarino Place South he has made one lot where there were

originally two, for example.

Planning technician Chris Hutton said staff had some reservations about the original corner lots, and wanted to ensure people can see around the corner when they are driving.

Mandarino was asked to amend the size of the corner lots.

Mandarino handed council copies of a petition containing 10 signatures from Westridge Drive and one from Ridgeview Place supporting the development variance, and included a photograph

showing a two metre setback for a property line on Foster Way that was issued by council in July 2011 and a copy of the improved plan.

Hutton confirmed the city has not received any objections to the application.

Council voted in favour of the development variance. Coun.

Danica Hughes was opposed.

Coun. Ivan Bonnell said he was hesitant to support the project, but hoped most people will choose to build further from the minimum setback.

Mayor Cook to spotlight city priorities at UBCM Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The city’s priorities will be on the forefront when city council meets with Premier Christy Clark and cabinet ministers at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention at the Vancouver Convention Centre Sept.

16 - 20, Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook said Thursday.

“There are about eight different priorities, such as mid-term timber supply, our community forest application or crime,” Cook said.

Additionally, the city has been asked to present at a mid-sized community forum on Tuesday, where Cook will talk about the “resiliency of our community.”

Thirdly, the Rural B.C. Steering Committee, of which Cook is a member, is meeting with the premier and a number of cabinet ministers and putting forward some recommendations that support rural B.C. Cook will present for Rural B.C. during a breakfast session and the committee will also have a booth.

“We want to get across the important role that rural B.C. plays. This is huge,” Cook said, insisting a healthy rural B.C. means a healthy B.C.

and that the province needs a rural B.C. strategy.

Williams Lake’s UBCM resolutions Two resolutions from Williams Lake will be on the roster during the UBCM conference.

One asks for compulsory consumer labelling of food containing genetically

In its comments, the UBCM Resolutions Committee said UBCM considered but did not endorse a similar resolution in 2009.

However, in 2012 the membership endorsed asking the provincial government to legislate the prohibition of importing, exporting, and the domestic production of fruit and plant material contain-

Where to go, what to do.

Bernie and Red musical/comedy team returns The husband and wife comedy and music team of Bernie and Red will be back in Williams Lake with a whole brand new show this month.

Because of their upbringing in England and frequent return visits to their homeland, there is a definite British flavour to their show, but one also shaped by 30 years of performing for North American audiences.

“There is still a difference between British and Canadian comedy,” Bernie says. “And we like to feel that we

Bernie and Red are a couple of hams who love to share their love for comedy. They perform in the lakecity, Sept. 27. are able to make the British humour which we feature in our show a bit more accessible to

Canadians.”

Red explains: “Our trips to the UK enable us to get back to

our roots and the feisty verbal interchanges that are part and parcel of big city life in the UK. It gives us no end of comedy material for our show.”

The popular duo will perform at the Gibraltar Room, on Friday, Sept. 27, in a fundraiser for the local Elks and Royal Purple.

Bernie and Red settled in Canada back in the 1970s after emigrating from their home town of Liverpool, England where they met as teenagers and later married.

They were regulars

at the famous Cavern in Liverpool and saw the Beatles live there on countless occasions.

After moving to Canada they eventually succeeded in settling on a small acreage and raising livestock and ultimately half an acre of organic blueberries.

“I picked over 1,000 pounds of them this summer, Bernie says.

“I’m looking forward to getting on the road and having a rest.”

They will shortly be heading out on their annual winter tour of the U.S. sunbelt states, taking in Arizona, Cal-

ifornia and Texas.

In Texas they have built a large fan base, so much so that for the past two years, they won the coveted People’s Choice Award for Best Comedy Duo in south Texas.

Summers they also enjoy numerous concerts around B.C. and the U.S. After 40 years in show business there are not signs of slowing down for Bernie and Red and their calendar has bookings right through 2014.

“We seem to have found a recipe for a

funny and entertaining show and the crowds continue to come back for more,” Red says.

Sing loud, sing often – Play with me – Read to Me – Tell me stories! Sound like fun? It is. And it’s educational too!

September is International Literacy Month.

For over 40 years, UNESCO has been using this day to remind the international community that literacy is a human right and the foundation of all learning.

Literacy is much more than reading and writing. It is the toolkit of skills and strategies that we use to decode information and create meaning.

When we increase literacy, we increase our health and well-being, our parenting skills, our productivity. Crime de-

creases as opportunity increases. As individuals, as communities, and as a society, we become stronger and more resilient as our literacy increases.

And it all starts in the early years. There is a direct relationship between parental and community engagement in early literacy and numeracy activities and future student achievement. And in Williams Lake, there is a large, dedicated group of organizations, volunteers, and businesses working together to provide many free opportunities for children and families to “play” together.

Have you seen the Bright Red Bookshelves around town?

Help yourself to a free book, or use one to read to your child while wait-

ing for the doctor. How about all those wonderful playgroups through our Strong Start and Head Start programs?

Did you catch the latest story time and puppet play at the library?

Don’t forget to visit Family Fest, the Children’s Festival, or the free swim and story time on National Child Day in November.

Check out the Early Years Calendar that appears in the Friday paper at the start of each month.

You’ll be amazed by the wealth of free activities and events around town Yes, we need more money and a comprehensive strategy to ensure all children have a strong start in the early years. But today, let’s celebrate the great

way the community is collaborating to create free, fun, interac-

tive, and family friendly spaces – the foundation of all things literacy.

The CRDL (Cariboo Regional District Libraries) participates in BC Public Libraries “Library to Go” service. This service provides CRDL patrons with access to portable, digital content such as audiobooks and ebooks. The first demographics to embrace the trend were boomers and seniors. Seniors can also enjoy the benefits of the e-book format, such as adjustable text size, and providing access to many books with just one smaller device.

More recently, there has been a growing interest from parents and youngsters in the e-book format. The CRDL TumbleBook Library, for young readers, offers an online collection of animated talking picture books. The books in the Tumblebook Library are existing titles that have animation, sound, music and narration added. The collection includes storybooks, fairy tales, non-fiction books and books for learning. Each book has a synopsis of the story; author, illustrator and publisher

information; reading time; reading level; book reviews; and accelerated reading info.

The “TumbleReadables” tab takes users to a collection of online books without the animation. The books are narrated and each sentence read is highlighted. There are some minimum system requirements for computers or e-reading devices in or to access Tumblebooks, including Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 / Netscape 4.x or later, Flash 6 plug-in, and a Video display card (minimum resolution 800x600).

E-books provide an excellent means to engage children and prompting physical interaction. They are especially helpful for motivating less keen readers toward engagement. Tumblebooks includes both enhanced e-books and more traditional e-books, so parents might want to make sure to involve the child with both.

However, children’s traditional print books are certainly not going out of style either! In July of this year, 1609 children’s picture books were checked out. In the

case of books and e-books for children, the most important aspect is that children are encouraged to read. Don’t forgo print for the sake of e-books, or e-books for the sake of print. Instead, a balanced approach is suggested.

In this day in age, the ability to read is only part of the picture – traditional literacy skills are essential such as reading, writing, and comprehension. But successful navigation of the brave new digital world also requires new abilities, which e-books can certainly help develop.

For those who would like to improve their language literacy by learning a second language, CRDL Offers “Mango Languages”. This online database can help users learn practical conversation skills in the language of their choice. Mango will also offer over 15 “English as a Second Language” (ESL) courses in the learner’s mother tongue.

Literacy Matters Reading to young children important

By Claire Schreiner Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy believes that books and reading should be a part of every child’s day. Children who are read to every day do better in schools because they have better vocabulary, language and listening skills. But this is a long process of language development. Babies’ brains develop very rapidly. So reading and singing to your baby helps the brain to

understand words and rhymes.

Bright pictures and colours in books develop imagination and creativity.

One important program that promotes reading for young children is Books for Babies which provides every newborn with a bag containing appropriate children’s books and some helpful brochures for mom.

The bags are given out by Welcome Wagon, Public Health nurses or the various First Nations health groups.

Hundreds of new children’s books are free for families to take at community events throughout the year: Family Fest in February, Children’s Festival in May, Aboriginal Day in June and Bell-EAcres Family Golf Day in August.

By Claire Schreiner Book clubs are a great way to share your reading adventures, expand your literary experiences and socialize at the same time. There are a number of books clubs active in the Williams Lake area.

Pam Hedley-Smith belongs to a club that has been meeting for twenty years with a few years of down-time when membership was low.

Twenty women from all walks of life meet monthly to discuss a wide variety of genres, including a poetry night and an author visit with Donna Milner.

“The Language of Flowers” by Vanessa Diffenbauch was a recent favourite for reading and discussion. Books are chosen for a year at a time, giving everyone time to get and read the selection. A long list of suggestions is gathered from friends, family, CBC radio, book stores and published reviews. Pam sums up her experience: “Through the club I have learned to read very different genres to what I would normally read. I have been introduced to

great new authors that I may not have looked at before but will definitely read again.”

The “Miocene Salon” is a book club composed of a diverse group of people meeting monthly to discuss a book, share a potluck lunch and explore other topics that might arise. The eight to ten members choose books, not always unanimously, a couple of months in advance to allow time enough time for purchase, reading and sharing of the title. Some of their favourite titles have been: ”A Fine Balance”

by Rohinton Mistry, “Cutting for Stone”

by Abraham Verghese, “The Poisonwood Bible”

by Barbara Kingsolver, “The Elegance of the Hedgehog” by Muriel Barbery, “Still Alice”

by Lisa Genova, and “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot.

For children interested in a book club, the Public Library runs the Red Cedar Reading Program through the winter with 22 children, grades four to seven, reading twenty six books. The

books are both fiction and non-fiction, and at the end they vote on the best books. Results are compiled and published Canada-wide.

An on-line book club or forum might suit better if there is not time to commit to regular meetings. A number of internet sites are easily found with the option of sharing insights or discussing recent readings. Two of these sites are www. o n l i n e b o o k c l u b. o r g and www.my-bookclub. com. Sites such as chaptersindigo.ca offer “best of” lists to help in book selection and advice for starting a book club.

books available for children.

The Bright Red Bookshelf program puts bookshelves in public places.

Children can take a book home to read, or share while waiting. CCPL relies on donations of thousands of gently used children’s books to keep the bookshelves full. April is Book Drive Month and we rely on the support of our elementary schools to collect books for the bookshelves.

Donated books are cleaned, labeled and placed by volunteers with

the Assisted Community Living program.

Puppets help children learn about language. Make a simple finger or stick puppet to help with reading a story. Come and enjoy one of the special shows at the Williams Lake Public Library where CCPL volunteers work with Library staff to use puppets for storytelling.

Help us celebrate International Literacy Day and read with your child today.

High literacy skills increase adult learning Melody Newcombe Operations Support Worker September 8th was International Literacy Day. The United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organizations goal is to remind everyone of the importance of literacy and adult learning globally. Literacy means more than knowing how to read and write. You must be able to understand and use printed information.

You may ask why and how does this concern me? In today’s world our community is now linked in so many ways to the larger global community. We need to keep our literacy skills

high and continue to learn so that we understand how the world around us affects our daily lives.

With the political unrest in the middle east, what will happen with oil and gas prices. How will that affect our Canadian dollar? How will this affect our jobs? With strong literacy skills we will be better prepared for world events that may seem so far away from us but definitely have strong impacts on our lives.

In a more practical sense in our daily lives with higher literacy skills we make better choices.

We are able to understand our money, make healthy lifestyle choices, eat better and have more joy in our lives. With higher literacy skills you will have

greater success in finding work that you enjoy. You will be better prepared to handle change, stress and all the things that happen in our lives. Everyday there is an opportunity to learn something new. We need to think of literacy and learning as moving targets, making an effort to continue to learn throughout our lives. Try a new recipe, read a book, pick up the local Williams Lake Tribune newspaper, read with your children, start a book club. By learning with your children you will create a closer bond with them. With continued learning we become better parents, employers, employees, friends and have a much fuller richer life.

Number 13: lucky for some, unlucky for others Today is Friday the 13th in the 13th year of the new Millennium.

Thirteen is my lucky number because when I was 13, there was a fair that came to our small Prairie town. They had the obligatory merry go round slot machines — only for the adults.

I did manage to sneak into the area and put a dime into the machine and was counting while I had the handle of the slot machine pulled down.

It slipped out of my hand when I got to 13 and out came a bunch of dimes.

I was so happy until my dad asked me where I got all the money.

Now I was in trouble because, of course, I was not supposed to be playing the slot machines.

I told him the story and then gave him a couple of bucks to

help my guilt of doing something wrong.

I hope the day will be a good one for you in the luck department.

You don’t have to be lucky to pick up some very nice produce at this time of the year.

If you don’t have a garden there are the two farmers markets and the supermarkets carry lots of good fresh B.C. produce now, especially SaveOn-Foods.

They support the local markets and buy as much B.C.-grown fruit and produce as is available.

I did some pizza on my Saskatchewan

Roughriders barbecue out at the lake and it turned out really nice, thank you!

Making the dough for the pizza took longer than anything else, because of course, you have to let it rise, once or twice, depending on your preference.

Don’t use a rolling pin when making the pizza dough flat.

Use the palm of your hand to smooth out the dough to your desired shape and thickness.

Pizzas do not have to be round.

For this pizza, I cut a large tomato into rounds that were oiled, some pepper, salt and put them on the barbecue about two minutes before the oiled pizza dough met Mr. Barbecue.

I put it on the hot side of the barb’y for two minutes then turned it over.

On this cooked side I

brushed on a thin layer of sauce made up of pepper, salt, ketchup, mayonnaise, a touch of lemon juice and a dash of powdered organic garlic.

Then, a thin layer of cheese, some fresh basil leaves cut into small strips and some fresh garlic from my garden.

I think it would have been about two tablespoons, small diced, and cooked this with the lid on the barbecue closed for about three minutes or until the cheese melts.

I had friends over from next door and they were complimentary.

It was indeed tasty.

Try some pizza on your barbecue, you and your tastebuds will be mucho happy ... just like winning a lottery ticket on Friday the 13th.

Bye for now and good cooking.

Elks of Canada leader visits Tuesday The national leader of Elks of Canada is paying a visit to Williams Lake on Tuesday, Sept. 17.

Jim McLeod of Sherwood Park, Alberta will attend the regular meeting of the local Cariboo Elks Lodge 239 on Tuesday, Sept.

Local president Wendel Schachtel says Elks of Canada raises millions of dollars a year for various community projects and charities.

“The Canadian grand lodge raised and spent $11 million in one year a couple of years ago,” Schachtel says.

The Elks and Royal Purple are dedicated to working for the good and welfare of the community with priorities for the needs

of children, senior citizens, and many others in need.

Special concern has been placed on the need for the early identification and rehabili-

tation of hearing impaired children.

Locally the Elks and Royal Purple raise funds by renting the Elks Hall and hosting various fundraising

events.

The next big fundraiser for the Elks is the Bernie and Red comedy night coming up at the Gibraltar Room on Friday, Sept. 27.

Pets are welcome to register with their owners starting at 9 a.m.

The first walk route is 5 km and leaves the park at 10 a.m.

The next route is 2.5 km and leaves the park at 10:15 a.m.

The final route is 1.5 km and leaves the park at 10:30 a.m.

Fall CAR CARE Simple ways to extend the life of your vehicle More and more vehicle owners are looking for ways to extend the life of their vehicles. Fortunately, there are several steps vehicle owners can take that should ensure their vehicles stay on the road for years to come. * Scale back on short trips. The toll cold starts take on a vehicle can add up over time. When a car is started, condensation builds up in the vehicle’s exhaust system. On longer trips, that condensation will gradually evaporate.

However, on short trips, that condensation often does not have enough time to evaporate, and over time too many short trips will lead to an accumulation of water in the muffler that can lead to rust and rust holes on the muffler. Short trips also can negatively affect gas mileage.

When possible, leave your car at home on trips into town when you can just as easily walk or ride a bicycle.

Over time, reducing the amount of short trips you take in your car will greatly reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and improve your fuel efficiency as well. * Stick to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance

Keeping a vehicle’s interior clean can make it more enjoyable to drive while encouraging owners to keep their cars for longer periods of time. schedule. Adhering to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule serves many purposes, including improving the its durability and protecting various components, including its cooling system and drivetrain. While many manufacturers used to recommend changing a vehicle’s oil every 3,000 miles, many of today’s newer automobiles need their oil changed less frequently.

Check your owner’s manual for manufacturer rec-

ommendations regarding oil changes, and don’t forget to replace the oil filter when changing your vehicle’s oil. * Pay attention to brake pads. Brake pads that are allowed to wear down can cause damage to the brakes’ rotors and calipers.

That damage can prove costly and make things harder on your vehicle. Keep an eye on your vehicle’s brake pads, which are far less expensive

to replace than rotors and calipers, and do not allow them to wear down to metal. * Keep your tires properly inflated.

Tires that are underinflated will negatively impact your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. In addition, the tires’ life expectancy is reduced considerably when tires are not properly inflated.

Routinely check your tire pressure, especially if you drive a lot, and keep tires inflated at the pressure recommended in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. * Be mindful when filling up your tank.

Many people do not pay much attention to their surroundings when pulling into the filling station. But when you fill up can impact your car’s life expectancy. Perhaps the worst time to fill your tank is when the fuel tanker is in the gas station refilling the underground tanks. That’s because the process of filling the underground tanks can stir up sediment that had settled at the bottom of those tanks. * Take care of your vehicle’s interior, too.

Caring for a car is not just about being good to what’s under the hood. Caring for the car’s interior will not necessarily impact its

CHAP’S

performance, but a well-kept interior will improve how you look at your vehicle and how much you enjoy driving it.

Fall CAR CARE Different types of tires make a difference because they will wear out more quickly than others. They may not have the same level of traction on clear roads.

In some cases, winter tires may have metal studs included to enhance traction in icy situations. People who do not want to switch tires when cold weather arrives sometimes invest in snow chains that improve traction on standard tires.

Mud Tires Muddy areas can be just as slippery as snowy conditions.

Mud tires are designed similarly to snow tires but will have extra grooves and a tread pattern that facilitates movement of mud away from the tires and road. Mud tires may be wider than standard tires as well.

Truck Tires Drivers of trucks or

sport-utility vehicles often need special truck tires. These tires can better handle the weight and size of a larger vehicle. Many drivers stick with the type of tire that originally came with their truck. Drivers who like to go off-roading may need an all-terrain tire to offer more traction when climbing hills or traversing different conditions.

It can be easy to overlook the importance of tires, but tires help vehicles remain on the road and can affect mileage, maneuverability and safety. will retain their tread.

Most day-to-day driving can be done on allseason tires.

High-performance tires People who live in dry climates or drive sports and racing cars can benefit from highperformance tires.

These tires are specifically designed to grip the road better and of-

fer superior handling under higher speeds.

Because high-performance tires are made of a softer rubber compared to standard tires, they will not last as long as all-season tires.

Snow tires People who live in snowy, icy conditions will benefit from the

use of snow tires. These tires are designed with special treads to offer more traction in slippery conditions. The rubber used to manufacture the tire can remain flexible even at extremely low temperatures. Winter tires are best reserved for extreme weather and not used all season long

Drivers rarely think of the tires on their vehicles until they have a flat. But the type of tires on your vehicle can impact its performance. When choosing tires for their vehicles, drivers should consider a host of factors, including the terrain and driving conditions vehicles are likely to encounter.

Understanding tires and what makes some a better fit than others for certain vehicles can make for safe driving and improved handling.

All-season tires The most common type of tire and arguably the best known is the standard all-season tire. Many vehicles come equipped with these tires, which are designed to be versatile enough to grip the road in various conditions. They are commonly made of a harder rubber that will not wear out quickly and

Fall CAR CARE Prevent and treat headlight cloudiness Headlights serve to improve visibility during nighttime driving conditions and inclement weather.

They help drivers see and be seen by other motorists. When headlights are dull and cloudy, they can prove to be a safety hazard on the road. Fortunately, there are ways to restore headlights to their full effectiveness.

Driving during the day is easier than driving at night, when vision is easily compromised. A human’s visual field is much smaller in the dark, and it can be harder to spot road hazards, animals or people when driving at night. An improperly lit driving area can make it much more difficult to see.

It also impairs others’ ability to see your vehicle coming and going.

The National Institute for Traffic and Highway Safety says the No. 1 reason for severe nighttime accidents and reduced driving safety is dim or cloudy and improperly lit headlights. Also, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety has found that nearly 4 out of 5 drivers drive with improperly lit headlights.

There are a few different reasons for poor headlight illumination. In many instances, the headlight lamp has burned out and the light is no longer

working.

Old bulbs may dim and fail to provide the same level of illumination as they once did.

Oxidized and cloudy headlight coverings are also a known contributor to diminished headlight function.

Today’s headlight lenses are made from plastic. While it may not be visible immediately, road debris and weather conditions can put small dings and scratches into the lenses over time. These small damages can add up to covers that look dingy and dull.

Cloudiness also occurs as the result of exposure to ultraviolet light. Although newer

Headlights can become cloudy and scratched over time, but there are ways to easily restore them. cars have lenses that are supposed to resist scratching and damage, some dulling may occur.

There are many headlight cleaning kits on the market that are quite effective at restoring the lenses to

their original glory.

Most of these kits

use a series of buffers and polishers to gently buff out scratches and rid the headlights of oxidation. Because headlight lens replacement may cost upwards of $200 per lens, the kits are much more cost effective.

A car owner can also perform similar maintenance with just a few items from the hardware store and automotive shop.

Employ incremental grits of sandpaper to clean the headlights without causing further damage.

In addition, cutting compounds and sur-

face cleaners can be applied with electric buffers to clean the sandpaper grit and any other debris caught in the headlights.

Plastic polishers can further increase the shine of the headlights and make them look new.

The key to keeping headlights looking their best is to be on top of any damage taking place.

Handling minor cloudiness is much easier than a complete headlight overhaul.

Routinely inspect the headlights and check for damage.

Hot fall reignites fire season EU1000iC2

There have been six new small lightningcaused wildfires in the Cariboo Fire Centre since Monday, Sept. 9, all holdovers that reignited with this week’s warm, dry weather.

There were three starts in the 100 Mile Zone (Loon Lake, 0.009 hectares; 30 kilometres west of Begbie Summit, 0.009 ha; Meadow Lake, 0.009 ha), one in the Williams Lake-Central Cariboo Zone (Riske Creek, 0.4 ha), one in the Horsefly/LikelyCentral Cariboo Zone (Annette Lake, 0.009) and one in the Quesnel Zone (Barlow Creek, 0.009 ha).

Of those six wildfires, two (Riske Creek and Meadow Lake, both discovered Wednesday) were being actioned

Thursday by Wildfire Management Branch Initial Attack crews.

Meanwhile, a WMB patrol confirmed that the five Modified Response wildfires burning in provincial parks within CFC boundaries have shown no growth.

There are two fires in Bowron Lake Provincial Park (Isaac Lake, 49 ha; Indianpoint Lake, 2.7 ha), two in Cariboo Mountains Provincial Park (Niagra River Valley, 43 ha; Summit Lake, 3 ha) and one in Ts’yl-os Provincial Park (Chilko Lake, 2 ha).

Modified Response status means the CFC/ WMB is monitoring these wildfires but not supressing them, due to the ecological benefits of naturally occurring

fires as well as their remote locations. The fires are subject to specific park management plans and suppression strategies.

These wildfires may be visible to park visitors and people in the area may also be able to smell smoke. The CFC/WMB is working in co-operation with BC Parks to manage these fires.

Fire is a natural process in the CaribooChilcotin region’s environment. It helps maintain a healthy forest and a diversity of plant and animal habitat.

The fire danger rating for the CFC as of Thursday morning is split between moderate in the eastern half of the region and high in the western, with areas

of extreme forecast for Anahim Lake, Baldface, Tautri, Middle Lake, Tatla Lake, Nemiah, Puntzi Mountain and Riske Creek in the Chilcotin and Churn Creek on the Fraser River.

There has been a total of 315 wildfires (248 lightning-caused, 67 person-caused) in the CFC this season, burning 2,498 ha. Breakdown by zone: 1.) Quesnel – 77 fires (71 lightning-caused, 6 person-caused, 117 hectares) 2.) Williams LakeCentral Cariboo – 73 (50 lx, 23 pc, 827 ha) 3.) 100 Mile House – 65 (53 lx, 12 pc, 48 ha) 4.) Horsefly/LikelyCentral Cariboo – 55 (55 lx, 0 pc, 57 ha) 5.) Chilcotin – 45 (19 lx, 26 pc, 1,449 ha).

TRU student adventures in the UK say not many tourists leave Scotland without some tartan treasure.

After my stay in Scotland I headed back to England and toured Manchester, the city known for its football.

While there I was able to watch a Manchester United versus Manchester City game in a local pub. The atmosphere was amazing.

You could feel the excitement all around.

After this, I headed to

Shelley Gentry Special to The Weekend Advisor My name is Shelley Gentry and I am a student of Thompson Rivers University. I spent the last five months finishing my Bachelor of Arts Degree in the United Kingdom.

Upon my return I decided to apply for the Global Competency Recognition Award. To obtain this award, I am required to write a communication piece describing my travels and my adventures along the way, and trust me there have been many.

On Dec. 31, 2012 I left the Williams Lake Airport with three oversized suitcases, and my travel companion Tiramisu; a fuzzy Canadian moose in a navy sweater with a red maple leaf on his foot, a parting gift from TRU. Between plane layovers and bus connections, it took almost 24 hours to reach Plymouth, my final destination.

I was exhausted but at the same time ready to explore my new home for the next five months. The first day was off to a rough start; I had slept in, had trouble working the shower and my flat iron was smoking and ticking like a bomb.

So much for the seventy dollar converter I had purchased. After struggling to read a map and realizing it was upside down, I finally made my way to campus. The first few days were a stressful whirlwind of finding accommodations, get-

It took a few weeks to get settled in and meet friends. I was in awe of the British accents and couldn’t help but purposely ask people to repeat what they were saying just to hear it again. I was equally amazed to know that people enjoyed hearing my Canadian accent.

I wanted to take full advantage of my time in the U.K., so I had planned a twenty four day trip during the month-long Easter Holiday. My trip would include twelve cities and thirteen train journeys. At first I was terrified at the prospect of travelling alone in a foreign country.

The night that I was leaving I was frantically packing as the cabby was pulling up to drive me to the bus station.

I had never been on a train and would have to take several trains most with connections, and being on time has never been one of my strong points. I arrived in the nick of time on several occasions, with the train door just closing behind me. I would start in the historic city of Canterbury, the destination of Chaucer’s

Pilgrims and visit the Canterbury Cathedral.

From here I would head to the capital of London, where I would spend four days exploring sites such as the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. London would be the only city during my journey that I would have a companion other than Tiramisu.

From London I would see the university town of Cambridge, The Jorvik Viking Centre in York (also home of the the Kit-Kat bar) and Durham where I climbed 325 stairs to the steeple top. I had always wanted to ride a red double-decker bus, and in Glasgow I finally got my chance.

I took a tour and was able to see all of the city’s main sites. I was able to see great modern architecture such as the bridge that the Scots refer to as the “Squinty Bridge.”

Although I liked Glasgow I was in awe of Edinburgh. The city itself was gorgeous and it had all the basic tourist needs: a castle, a palace and an abundance of tartan. Here you could look up your family name and see your clans tartan, which was available for purchase. It is safe to

the city of Liverpool, home of the Beatles.

Here, I took a tour of the Beatles’ history, which started with their origins as young boys and followed their life right through to their chart topping hits. After a few more stops, I arrived in a small Welsh village, Ewenny, 30 minutes away from the capital of Cardiff. Here I was able to stay with James, a friend I had met from

school, and his family.

While I was in the UK I was also able to travel to many other countries including Switzerland, France, Spain and Italy.

All these experiences shaped me in a positive way. I know that the ties I made in the UK will be life-long friendships. I would highly encourage other students to study abroad.

Not only does studying in another country

enrich an individual’s life and make them a more, well-rounded and a culturally diverse person, but it is a great aspect to add to a resume and show future employers. I am positive that the Global Competency Recognition Award will help me in the future with prospective employers, and will make my transcript more competitive when applying for post-grad school.

Smylie captains WolfPack into season Greg Sabatino Staff Writer At just 20 years old there will be a lot of pressure on 150 Mile House’s Laura Smylie heading into the 2013/14 Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association soccer season as a co-captain of the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s soccer team.

Smylie admits, having grown up with a passion and love for all things soccer but now heading into her fourth and final CCAA season with the WolfPack, she won’t be afraid to put pressure on herself to help her play to the best of her ability.

As a junior captain with the WolfPack during last year’s PacWest title win and fourth place finish at the CCAA nationals Smylie, who heads up the defensive core as a sweeper, said it’s a role she’s been looking forward to.

“I always put quite a bit of pressure on myself [to play well] just because I’m a perfectionist and I really like to excel at whatever I can,” Smylie said.

“Soccer’s always been really good to me so I try to put as much into it as I can to see what I can get from it. I’ve had amazing experiences and now I’m the captain of a university soccer team.”

So far, all signs point to the WolfPack continuing to be a strong force in the PacWest division. The WolfPack won both its season openers on the weekend defeating Capilano University 2-1 on Saturday and the Vancouver Island University Marines, 3-1, on Sunday.

Following the weekend’s wins the WolfPack continue to hold down the fourth spot in the

CCAA national rankings, and are seeded first in the PacWest division.

Smylie said based on what she’s seen on the pitch so far there’s no reason the WolfPack can’t make a run deep into the playoffs again this season.

“I was a little bit worried at the beginning of the season just because we lost a couple of really important girls,” she said, adding other co-captains Bronwyn Crawford and Alanna Bekkering have also stepped up to help lead the club.

“It’s always a little bit nerve racking when you start a new season but we were able to work together and have some great results. Even these first couple games I could really see we have a lot of potential and I think it’s only going to go up from here.

“I have great hopes for this team and I think we can pull it off again.”

Regardless of how the WolfPack finish this season, Smylie doesn’t have any regrets about her soccer career at TRU. “I always try to have fun — that’s why I play,” she said. “But, being my last year of my degree, it’s going to be tough. I’ve been playing soccer my whole life and this will be kind of the end of it but this is a great ending.”

Academically, Smylie is set to graduate this year with a degree in cellular and molecular biology before continuing on in her studies next year at the B.C. Institute of Technology in Vancouver.

Smylie and the WolfPack play their home opener Saturday, Oct. 5 at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops against the University of British Columbia Okanagan.

Kickoff is at noon.

WLMHA adjusting to new hitting rule Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association is adjusting to a new decision by Hockey Canada to ban bodychecking for peewee-level players nationwide.

Paul Sorley, president of the WLMHA, said it’s an adjustment that will affect everyone from players, to parents, to referees and to coaches.

“The rule change will affect returning peewee players as they were used to bodychecking [last year], but first-year peewees have not been exposed to bodychecking at this point in their hockey careers,” he said.

“The rule change impacts players as they will now have to learn to not bodycheck and coaches have to teach body position versus bodychecking (rubbing out).”

Hockey Canada, along with the Canadian Paediatric Society, thinks the rule change is a massive step in the right direction, citing an increased focus on

teaching fundamental skills and a decreased risk of concussions as its benefits.

“The Canadian Paediatric Society applauds the leadership taken [in May] by Hockey Canada to remove bodychecking from Pee Wee level hockey across the country,” Dr. Andrew Lynk, president of the organization, said in a press release.

“This evidence-based decision puts brain safety first, and will enhance player development by focusing on fundamental skills, fun and lifetime fitness.”

Additionally, Sorely said young referees who officiate many of the games in Williams Lake will now need to learn to properly distinguish between a bodycheck and body contact.

“It’s worth noting [in the past] there was a bodychecking clinic held each year to teach these peewee players to properly bodycheck,” he said. “Bodychecking will now have to be taught to older, bigger bantam players.”

Despite the push

by Hockey Canada to make the game safer for

New minor hockey rules are aiming to make the game safer. young players the rule change has drawn some criticism from hockey enthusiasts and organizations around the country.

The Saskatchewan Hockey Association came out strongly opposed to the ruling, noting its membership “has always been very strongly in favour of having bodychecking as early as possible.”

Hockey Night in Canada’s Don Cherry also spoke out against the ruling during a Coach’s Corner segment filmed during last year’s NHL season.

Cherry said removing

hitting will make things worse for the players as they get older because of a lack of experience and preparation.

“You [Hockey Canada] have good intentions, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions,” Cherry said. “You’re gonna be sorry. You watch and see, you will be sorry.”

REALTOR TIPS THE BENEFITS OF OWNING YOUR HOME VS RENTING How does renting compare to purchasing?

• Renting does not build equity • Finding rental property can be difficult in the availability of quality homes good neighborhoods • To rent a home the tenant needs ½ month plus full month rent up front – sometimes utilities are included in the payment Often the cost of renting is more than the cost of a mortgage payment!

• To purchase a home most mortgage lenders require a minimum down payment of 5% of the purchase price • Property owners of homes located in strata communities and in mobile home trailer parks pay monthly strata or park fees as well as their mortgage payment • When purchasing, location is important for your property to grow as an investment • Style of home can affect price and long term value • Unusual house styles attract fewer buyers – and may be harder to get financing!

• The most popular house style is the Rancher/ bungalow three bedrooms on the main floor, full basement and garage.

Comfort A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I were camping at a local lake. Each day was windy with some rain. The wind seemed relentless and it soon became irritating. If the temperature had been in the mid 30s and the sun beating down on us, this same wind would have been very welcome, but this week it was a nuisance.

Camping is not really camping unless you have a fire, is it? And so, despite the wind, we lit a fire and pulled up a couple chairs to enjoy ourselves.

Though we sat within two feet of the fire, we actually received very little warmth from it. The wind kept blowing the heat away from us; it was only once in a while when the wind shifted or died down for a second that we felt the benefit of heat from the fire. Yet we stayed there, because it seemed warmer than if we sat further away. Seemed is perhaps the key word here. I think it was mostly an illusion that we were warmer because of the fire.

Perhaps it was the idea of having one, the smell of the smoke, the ambience of the fire that gave us hope for warmth from it.

Twenty feet away we had a

PARSONS PEN

BY GERRIT APPERLOO nice warm RV, with total shelter from the wind and rain and with warmth and comfortable seats. We could even turn on the propane furnace for additional heat and comfort. But we stayed outside with the illusion of comfort and warmth!

That’s often the way we deal with life and the problems of life, isn’t it? We opt for the illusion of comfort and help, we tell ourselves we are satisfied with things that we know don’t really provide the comfort and help we need.

As the TV advertisement says,

“Life comes along and bites you in the butt.” And then what do we do, how do we handle the pain? Where is our healing going to come from?

Some turn to self-help programs but find very little lasting help.

Others seek and accept advice based on human understanding of life. But these solutions are illusions of true help.

Still others discover help found in the bottom of the bottle, or through the use of the needle, or even the calming effect of a joint. But later they discover the awful truth of this help – it is no help at all but just covers up the pain. In fact, often the pain has multiplied as they now struggle with the addiction they have developed.

And all the while there is help available, true help and comfort.

It is found in the arms of Jesus and his healing powers.

My wife and I finally gave in and left the illusionary warmth of the fire and entered the true warmth of the RV. We listened to the wind howling around us, but were untouched by it. We were protected.

We learned, better late than never, right? How about you?

New kids yoga classes offered by complex From movies to fashion and advertisements, to water cooler conversations, yoga has been a hot topic for a number of years and there is very good reason why.

It is healthy. A quick search on the internet will produce dozens of articles, from credible sources, stating numerous reasons for the popularity of yogic practice.

This low impact exercise is a great way for individuals to ease into an exercise routine and increase flexibility and strength with each workout.

It is easy on the joints proving popular with seniors and those dealing with injuries, especially to the joints.

Yoga is also helpful to those in peak physical condition and can effectively round out an exercise regime; it serves as both a stretching and cardio workout.

Photo submitted

Williams Lake’s Celena Brilliant participates in a children’s yoga class.

An increase in physical strength, flexibility, muscle tone and balance are some of the results of a regular routine.

Yoga can also be practiced during pregnancy and with babies and young ones.

When children start young they often continue with yoga

throughout their lives.

Yoga, through proper stretching and breathing, improves everyday posture whether sitting at a desk, walking or running and relieves stress resulting in mental sharpness and deep, restful sleep.

Yoga can also be the gateway to a healthier lifestyle and helps with

toning and weight loss.

After sticking with a regular yoga routine for a few months many experience improved breathing and digestion, as well as an immune system boost. Although it will not clean your house, fix your plumbing, or drive your children to school, fitting in one or two yoga sessions per week will result in some of the above mentioned health benefits.

It can be difficult to stop in the middle of a busy day to stretch and breath without the commitment of a class.

The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex offers a variety of classes, including Yoga for 55-plus, Intro to Power Yoga, Yoga for Lunch, Yoga with my Baby, Yoga and Meditation, Kids Yoga and more.

Whether your only time for a class is dur-

ing your lunch hour, or you want to bring your baby with you, the complex has a class to fit your schedule and your ability.

Kids Yoga classes are new to the CMRC this fall. Bring your child to a free class on Tuesday, Sept. 17 to see how they like it.

The free Kids Yoga for children 10-13 years old will run from 3:30 to 4:15 p.m. and Pretzel Yoga for children six to nine years old will take place from 4:15 to 5 p.m.

Inquire about scheduled yoga classes at the CMRC or call 250398-7665.

Classes are also listed in the Active Living Guide, available at the CMRC and numerous locations around the city or online at www. activewilliamslake.ca.

Registration is available in person, online or by phone.

ADVERTORIAL

Healing Wounded Hearts It has been a privilege to be on retreat with women who have had an abortion. I have not cried so many tears in one weekend in a long time. It was an emotional roller coaster: tears of sorrow and tears of joy, and sometimes both at the same time - almost like eating a sugarcoated sour candy.

Arriving as a “quasi” participant, I feared the women would not open up to be healed because they saw me as a priest who would be both judgmental and condemning. My first experience came the first night at dinner, when one of the women at the table could not make eye-contact with me during the meal.

As time went on, however, the women who were apprehensive, nervous and wounded began to open up like blossoms. One by one, they told their stories - opening up on their own accord and in their own time. These guiltfilled, fear-laden women were being released from their chains; they were overtaken by

freedom and joy.

Some of them had multiple abortions, some had an abortion 30 years ago, some could not even say the word “abortion” and some could hardly even step inside a church for fear of hearing words of condemnation. Some were so paralyzed by fear that they did not allow the children to whom they gave birth to grow spiritually.

As they opened up, they allowed a certain fragrance of healing to begin (bringing tears to our eyes). All this changed in one weekend: the Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat. These women became the most precious and beautiful flowers in the vineyard as compared to a flower garden.

During the retreat, a beautiful analogy was given: sin (in this case: abortion) is like compost.

Sometimes a person may bury their abortion under many layers of stuff in their lives. Like compost, the stuff at the bottom of the pile is stinky, steamy and rotting. God can use the ugliness of the compost for rich fertilizer for the vineyard. As Satan uses sin to destroy our relationship with God, God uses the same instrument to bring about a greater good. These women can use this ugliness, through the grace of God and transformative life, as a way to seek forgiveness and reconciliation with God, thus developing a deeper and more trusting relationship with God. Now these women will be powerful witnesses of God’s love and mercy to the world.

This richness, like compost, yields more fruit in the vineyard when it is spread around.

I encourage those who have been involved in an abortion (men and women), and those who know of someone who is suffering from an abortion, to learn more about this healing opportunity.

Rachel’s Vineyard (250) 267-5081 (text or phone confidential) rvkamloops@yahoo.ca The person who will respond to your call is Nancy, and she will say something like, “Hi, I’m Nancy, I have experienced an abortion and healing, how can I help you?”

local news

Spring cleaning in August In my last column I talked about plans for our as-of-yet not-quitefinished honey house.

While it awaits its future use, the building has become something of a catch-all. There is nothing more magnetic than an empty building.

Bee equipment has been joined by an old television set, boxes of wool, buckets, hoes, shovels, rakes, boxes of newspapers for future mulching projects and even a box labelled “old sheets and towels” giving the impression I am something of a hoarder. An organized hoarder, but a hoarder nonetheless.

As August came to a close I finally started cleaning out the sheds; an annual ritual that usually takes place in the spring. As I sorted through the accumulation of clutter in the honey house I came across the hammock. I couldn’t believe it. Carrying the woven sling with its Velcro attached pillow up the slope to the hammock frame and hooking it on is one of my favourite spring rituals. It speaks of long, languid, afternoons; of lemonade, watermelon and evenings spent with friends around the fire pit. Of new books, birdsong and freshly mowed grass. Of sunshine, searching for shapes in the clouds and star gazing. As I stared at the heap of hemp in the corner of the honey house I realized I had done almost none of these things.

The realization was worsened by the fact that this was the summer I had been so determined to find time for all those things and more. I had even decided to downsize the garden to free up time for other pursuits. I closed

Slice of Life

with Shannon McKinnon

down the lower garden that has served us well for almost 15 years and moved to the expanded upper garden closer to the house. I made it through the winter without adding the old garden to my growing plans, which is saying something. Every gardener who lives in an area with six to seven months of winter knows the seductive lure of a pad of grid paper and a stack of seed catalogues. But I held firm.

I did not succumb.

Come spring I still remained resolute. My upper garden measures approximately 70 by 140 feet and I also have a border of shrubs, trees and perennials that run

almost 400 feet along our driveway. And then there’s a few beds around the house itself, two more on either side of a shed and another by the fire pit area. And the horses, sheep, bees and…oh yeah, “work”.

It’s enough. It’s more than enough.

The 64 by 64 foot lower garden still held three rows of raspberries, three apple trees, rhubarb and a couple cherry trees. I covered the rest of the space where I used to grow vegetables with hay tarps to supress the weeds and as a reminder of how that part of the garden was closed.

In June it occurred to me that a row of haskaps would be nice so I peeled back the tarp and planted three; rows that is. And then I remembered how much I enjoyed eating gooseberries as a kid, so I added a row of those. Then I spotted some currants and remembered the beautiful jam my grand-

ma used to make. By July the tarp was long gone and I had added a goji bush and a couple jostaberries—a cross between a black currant and a gooseberry— and a couple saskatoon bushes and some plums.

I tell people it’s not a garden, it’s an orchard.

Though how that makes any difference is anyone’s guess. The weeds certainly don’t differentiate. They find my “orchard” to be the same wonderful playground they did before. Small wonder I forgot about the hammock.

I figured I could read the situation in one of two ways. Either I was four months behind, this being the end of August and me still not putting the hammock up, or I was a month ahead, with the hammock already tucked away for winter. The latter certainly reflected better on me and as tempted as I was to be ahead of the game for a change, I just couldn’t do it.

I hauled the hammock up to the frame and hooked it in place.

And then I climbed into it and looked up at the clouds. I had only been swaying in place for three minutes when I heard a distinct honking. There, flying through a break in the clouds, was a flock of geese in a loose V formation. I pretended they were returning from the south for the summer.

“Welcome back,” I said with conviction.

But it was no use.

These weren’t the crisp V’s of spring, but the comical sideway dashes and loud reprimanding honks of the practice V’s of early fall. I watched until they were out of sight and then I went down to weed the orchard.

Serving Williams Lake and area for over 35 years.

VAULTED CEILING AND WOODEN TIMBERS A striking feature of this multi-gabled, rambling twobedroom family home’s design is the way in which the three-vehicle garage and laundry room are set at an angle to the main living area. This gives the home a more compact footprint, although it still measures 97 feet wide.

Entry is through a covered porch with a vaulted ceiling. The porch, framed by unfinished wooden timbers that echo those decorating the gables, makes an impressive statement.

The porch’s vaulted ceiling continues into the foyer and, through ornamental columns and an archway, into the great room. To the left of the foyer is a formal dining room with a handy two-way bar and a dramatic coffered ceiling; to the right are a walk-in coat closet and a small powder room.

At the heart of the home, the great room, which flows seamlessly into the kitchen, features a large fireplace, as well as access to a covered deck where triple wooden columns mark the two outside corners.

The kitchen is separated from the great room by a curved raised eating bar attached to a prep island with a cook-top.

The L-shaped counter configuration will save the cook steps, and he or she will be grateful for the roomy walk-in pantry and the window over the kitchen sink.

Tucked between the triple garage and the pantry is the laundry room, with a window to the side yard and access to the garage. Opposite the laundry room is a sewing nook, making it easy to leave the sewing machine set up for mending and more creative pursuits. Also in this space are a linen closet and a coat cupboard.

The master suite, also boasting a vaulted ceiling, features

a charming window seat with storage beneath it. The spacious en-suite contains a linen closet, as well as a soaker tub for a touch of spa-like luxury. The enclosed toilet area includes a bidet. The walk-in closet will be roomy enough to accommodate even the most style-conscious couple’s clothing.

Adjacent to the master suite is a den, with corner windows, and next to it is the second bedroom, with its own three-piece bathroom. A window over the bath overlooks the front porch.

A U-shaped stairway leads down to the basement, left unfinished in the plans.

Exterior finishes include decorative garage doors, painted trim, mullioned windows and stone and wrought iron accents.

This splendid home measures 97 feet wide and 77 feet deep, for a total of 2,266 square feet of living space.

Plans for design 1-2-613 are available for $758 (set of 5), $856 (set of 8) and $917 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 7% P.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.

local news

City council adopts fire protection and control bylaw Williams Lake City Council adopted Fire Protection and Control Bylaw No. 2189, which sets regulations for fire protection and control in the city.

Council adopted the bylaw at its regular meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

The Williams Lake Fire Protection and Control Bylaw No. 1947 was adopted in 2004.

The decision was made in 2013 to review the bylaw and update as necessary, however, once the review was completed it was decided to revamp the bylaw entirely to make it a more up-to-date and easier to use document.

Changes include: • Bylaw No. 2189 now gives the fire chief the authority to secure or have secured fire damaged and vacant buildings.

• The city will have the ability to recover costs whenever the fire department is dispatched to a hazardous materials incident.

• Residents will now have the opportunity to have small backyard fires provided they are contained in a factory made commercially available fire pit.
