A group of Williams Lake Boys and Girls Club volunteers prepares to scare crowds at its haunted house last Saturday and Sunday in Williams Lake. For a guide on what’s happening Halloween night in Williams Lake see page B10.

Williams Lake short seven doctors Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake needs seven doctors.

That’s one of the messages representatives from the Central Interior Rural Division of Family Practice (CIRDFP) shared with the Cariboo Regional District board Friday.

❄❄

“Atwood Clinic is advertising for four, Yorston Clinic two, Cameron Clinic one and Comer Clinic one,” said Lynne Roberts, the division’s Williams Lake recruitment co-ordinator.

One physician in the Atwood Clinic who is approaching retirement is still practicing but has dropped his hospital privileges, and one doctor will retire from the

Yorston Clinic in December, Roberts said.

“On the upside, there’s a doctor from Ireland returned to work here at the Borland Clinic,” she added.

And an internist arrived in June for his first site visit, and returned last week to visit with a realtor.

“I would like to say we have successfully recruited this internist and he will begin working in four

to six months at our hospital,” Roberts said.

A second internist from Saskatchewan “enjoyed the colours of the Cariboo and a personal horseback ride” during his first site visit, and is interested in doing locums for now to see how it goes, she added.

Highway development at crossroads Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer If city council wanted community feedback on proposed intersection changes to Highway 97 it got its wish.

Of the more than 100 people who attended an information meeting at the Gibraltar Room hosted by the city and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, many people spoke against removing lights at Carson.

Some were against spending millions on lights at Toop, several opposed making Johnson Street an extension of the turn off from a Toop Road intersection, while others advocated making Johnson the ambulance route.

Tyler Hamm said if the upgrade is a safety measure it doesn’t seem that a lot is changing other than the location of the lights.

“Instead of going to $22 million worth of work, why not put up some cement barricades to eliminate the left hand turn onto Toop Road southbound on the highway

and the left hand turn northbound,” Hamm said. The lights don’t have to be moved from Carson Drive, they are safe where they are at, he added.

“Stopping traffic from going left is probably the main source of accidents.”

Responding Ed Wnuk, , said putting signals at Toop Road has other advantages.

“One of them is that it will slow traffic coming into the city southbound before it gets to Carson,” he said.

Sharon Smith, who recently retired from working in local schools, opposed removing the lights at Carson and said many new drivers will be using Carson to commute to and from school.

“I would like to see a left turn signal at Carson so that people can turn on the signal rather than just estimate when traffic is coming,” Smith said.

Eddie Ballarn from MOT said the signal is warranted based on traffic volumes and the lights at Toop would give Carson more gap time because it would keep traffic back at the

Long time paramedic Steven Rupp voices his support for option two of the ministry’s plan to reconstruct the Toop intersection with direct access to the hospital via Johnson Street, though many residents of the area oppose the suggested access. lights.

Paramedic Steven Rupp, however, said he preferred Option 2 because lights at Toop, with an ambulance route to the hospital going directly down Johnson Street, is a safer option for paramedics and clients.

“On the average we used that intersection and access to the hospital 4,000 times a year, plus Alexis Creek, Anaham, Quesnel and Ashcroft all use the hospital for medi-

vacs,” he said.

Resident Nigel Whitehead agreed and said anything to improve the time for ambulances would be ideal.

“I know there’s a lot of concern about more traffic on Johnson, but I think if it would create time savings for more people it would be better,” Whitehead said.

Johnson Street resident Connie Corlass said the “huge” number of people who use

Carson would switch to using Johnson.

“Fine for the ambulance, but what about all those other cars that will now come down to that T at the hospital and are either going to go down through that twisty turning school zone to get into town or some convoluted way over to Pigeon Avenue,” Corlass said.

Goodall said those might be reasons for people not to choose the Johnson Street route because once

they get to the bottom it isn’t a good route to get to downtown.

“You may find that people don’t actually use it but will continue to use Carson as the main street,” Goodall said.

Responding to concerns about the driveways for the Cedar Court town houses at Johnson and 10th Avenue, Ballarn said they would not be eliminated.

“We will still be able to maintain them on Johnson,” Ballarn said.

Ninth Avenue resident John Moon said ambulances have had no problems getting to the hospital using Ninth Avenue.

“The time difference between the two options would be at the most 15 seconds,” Moon said, adding that hardly warrants the impacts on Johnson Street.

Last month Moon presented city council with a petition with 300 signatures opposing tying Johnson Street into the Toop Road intersection.

“We will be asking council to endorse option one,” Moon said

of the local residents.

Heather Awmack lives near 11th Avenue and asked about property acquisition because her property backs up to the highway and could be impacted if that section is made wider with four lanes.

Project manager Lisa Miller said once project’s design is finalized, MOT will identify how many properties will be affected and what size.

“Then we’ll have a property co-ordinator who will contact the property owners on a one-on-one basis,” Miller said.

The city has installed traffic counters on Carson and Johnson and will share the statistics in a few weeks, Goodall said.

City chief executive officer Darrell Garceau said city staff along with MOT staff will prepare a report based on feedback from the community on how the project should move forward and present it to city council.

Of the estimated $22 to $24 million project cost, the city’s portion would be around $4 million, Goodall said.

City branding revisited with two new options Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Two new branding tag lines are up for consideration and Williams Lake’s economic development manager Alan Madrigga encourages people to weigh in.

The choices — “Life is Bigger Here” or “Western, Rebooted” — were posted on the

city’s branding site last Wednesday, Oct. 23.

“The Life is Bigger tagline was actually developed last fall,” Madrigga said. “It went to the advisory committee, it didn’t come to the top of the heap, but it got some good comments.”

“Western, Rebooted,” was developed after brainstorming words people used most com-

monly, he explained.

“The word western was easy, but the fact that there’s so much more to do, so reboot,” Madrigga said. “It’s been interesting because people have had different reactions.”

Some people think it’s about a boot, some people think it’s about technology, he said, adding the challenge is

coming up with a tagline or logo that appeals to everyone.

After the originally suggested tagline “Republic of Life” received heavy opposition from many community members earlier this year, Taijii Brand Group and the city’s branding advisory group went back to the drawing board and asked for

more community input through a survey.

Madrigga said during May and June around 200 people responded to the survey, some filling it out on paper, but the majority of them were filled out online.

Respondents identified the things they liked about living in Williams Lake included the great

outdoor access, affordability and the chance to be independent.

“There were people for and against the whole Western culture thing, so we tried to look at something that was going to balance all of that,” Madrigga chuckled, adding it wasn’t an easy task.

The public will have about two weeks to

weigh in on the two new taglines and then staff will summarize the feedback for city council.

“We may recommend using either or we may decide to eventually use both of them,” Madrigga said.

“It will depend on the type of audience we’re targeting or ad we’re designing.”

Contract to impact SD 27 budget Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The proposed new provincial contract with school support workers will cost School District 27 almost half a million extra dollars which is not currently in the district’s budget.

“The contract is still tentative as the board of education and the IUOE have to vote on the new proposals,” says Superintendent Mark Thiessen.

During question period following the board’s regular meeting Tuesday, Oct. 22 Thiessen said the board and staff had looked very closely at the financial implications of the tentative new contract with the IUOE support workers and determined the cost of the contract to be about $445,000 in this district for this year.

He said the staff and trustees have discussed

The contract is still tentative as the board of education and the IUOE have to vote on the new proposals.”

- Mark Thiessen, SD 27 Superintendent and developed an initial plan to make up the amount in this year’s budget and sent it to the Ministry of Education.

He said the plan will be brought forward to the board’s next public meeting in November.

Costs of the new contract are not covered by the funding protection currently provided by the ministry for School District 27, Thiessen said.

A tentative provincial K-12 support staff Framework Agreement was reached between the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association and the IUOE and Canadian Union of Public Employees Sept. 18.

The IUOE represents support workers in School District 27. Local IUOE representative Alice Tresierra said she had no comment on the situation at this

time.

According to reports from the IUOE and CUPE unions representing school support workers in various communities in B.C., each support staff union local will take the provincial agreement to their respective tables with the school districts to conclude collective bargaining.

The term of the agreement is retroactive to July 1, 2012 and going forward to June 30, 2014 providing a total wage increase of 3.5 per cent.

The proposed agreement provides a one percent wage increase retroactive to July 1, 2013; two percent increase on Feb. 1, 2014 and a half a per cent increase on May 1, 2014.

There are no concessions and the contract introduces the pay direct card for up-front drug expenses for virtually all locals.

New school name creates hiccup Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Some secondary students in Williams Lake who are trying to register for university are running into roadblocks because the new Lake City Secondary school name hasn’t filtered down to the universities yet.

“Lake City Second-

ary has been registered with the Ministry of Education, but we have heard the same concern regarding students not having Lake City Secondary as a “present school” option when they are applying to universities,” says School District 27 Superintendent Mark Thiessen. “We are looking into it.”

Last spring Columneetza and Williams Lake grades 8 to 12 secondary schools were amalgamated into one grades 7 to 12 secondary school operated on two campuses.

The name Lake City Secondary was chosen for the new school.

The campus names were also changed in the spring to Western

and Carson campuses to reflect the street location of each campus.

Oct. 22 school trustees changed the campus names back to the former secondary school names Columneetza and Williams Lake campuses after being lobbied by the public to do so, and reviewing their earlier decision on the name changes.

The senate hoopla continues

veryone has been enjoying this wonderfully warm fall. I’m writing this on Sunday, and I’m wondering if the weather will stay friendly until Thursday or will it follow tradition and turn mean on the young Halloween celebrants. *** Last week was a wow for news, French some of it titillatConnection ing, not much of it good.

Diana French The wild week in Ottawa got a lot of attention, even from those who aren’t political junkies.

Senators Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau appear to be particularly piggy when it comes to money, but surely it’s late in the game for their colleagues to get all prissy about it.

Let the RCMP and the Auditor General do their jobs. It’s interesting that Senator Marc Harb, (the only Liberal among the After attending the public engagement sesdisgracees) resigned, but he was the only one sion on proposed changes to the Carson and that had a lucrative pension coming.

Prime Minister Harper is seeking the high Toop intersections Tuesday evening, there road, but given his record as a control freak seems to be one thing lost in all the hoopla.

The fact is, Williams Lake is set to receive it’s astonishing he didn’t twig to his three a $20 million plus reno to our local infrasenators’ expensive habits, and if he didn’t know about the cover-up for Mr. Duffy, he structure on the province’s tab.

Diana French is a freelance columnist for studied and restudied the area to come up the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, with the best possible solution that will put our fair city in good stead for the next 25 retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Our Viewpoint

The Carson, Toop debate years or more.

That solution, according to reams of studies and expert opinions, would see the lights moved to Toop from Carson with improved access to Toop residential, greatly increasing safety for drivers trying to cross the highway.

It would also provide better access for the new businesses anticipated on the frontage road along Highway 97.

What has caused the greatest uproar among residents has been a suggestion by the ministry and city to open up access further to city streets by connecting Johnson Street to the intersection.

These two government bodies would be neglecting their duties not to suggest the Johnson Street access.

It only makes sense going forward into the future.

Paramedic Steve Rupp said it best – we’re all going to be clients of his at some point in our lives and if we are not breathing, we’ll want the most direct route possible to the ER. Johnson Street is a lovely residential area and in all likelihood will remain that way, and perhaps will be even safer, once the improvements are complete.

Whichever option the city chooses, it needs to be one that benefits the entire city, not just a few residents in one residential area.

he City and the Ministry of Transportation held a well-attended forum on the Highway 97 improvements Monday night at the Gibraltar Room.

City and Ministry of Transportation staff gave a presentation on the project and the two options for connections to side roads. It was an opportunity to hear additional comments and for a lot of questions to be answered. Council will receive a report in November, and will decide on which option to proceed with.

The Diamond From the Dinner Saturday Mayor’s night was another great example of Chair community partKerry Cook nerships and support.

Generous donators such as Woodland Jewellers, Gustafson’s Dodge, and Signal Point all contribute to this great cause of raising funds for the local Good Food Box program and programming at the Child Development Centre.

Hats off to the many volunteers! All indications are that the dinner will raise more than $20,000!

The new public health centre at TRU, which is open to the whole community, will improve primary health care in Williams Lake, offering people another option to have health concerns addressed. The centre, which opened a few weeks ago, is a partnership between TRU and Interior Health. Family nurse practitioner Sandi Lachapelle will provide a great service to our community.

Council had the pleasure last week of welcoming our fourth group of Junior Councillors, strong, enthusiastic, community-minded young people who will help move the city forward. A warm welcome to Monica Rawlek, Gagan Vaid, Brooklyn Thiessen, Rebekah Corbett, Hanna Hett, and Tanner Nickel, who is serving his second term. Looking forward to your unique ideas! We have incredible young people in this city, and it is great to see some of them step up to the plate to serve on this council and work to make Williams Lake an even better place. It’s these young people who make me confident the future is in good hands.

Our Manager of Social Development Anne Burrill and a former Junior Councillor will share our Junior Council successes with the rest of the province next month at the Cities Fit For Children Conference in Surrey.

Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

More Viewpoints More consultation needed Question of the week for community forest Editor:

I will admit that I have not read every issue of the Tribune/ Weekend Advisor in the last two years.

So I say with all honesty, last month was the first time I have seen Mayor Kerry Cook mention the Williams Lake Community Forest in her newspaper column.

It wasn’t much.

You would have to pay close attention to catch the four words slipped in, in an off-hand manner.

Her brief note failed to add any detail to a simmering issue being inflicted on Big Lake, Horsefly and Miocene by this proposal.

Also, she does not mention the amount spent to date on this endeavor.

Nor does she mention, that council failed to attend an information meeting held at Miocene earlier.

No mention of the fact that council has not seen fit to hold a public meeting in Horsefly concerning this proposal.

But, the Mayor gives some good detail about rubbing shoulders with the Premier and Cabinet at the UBCM. Hmmm.

The Minister of Forests cannot accept the Community Forest proposal as it stands. Where is the community support?

How can community support be assumed, without the involvement of the three rural commu-

nities that surround this forest?

It is now the time for Williams Lake city council to admit to a huge blunder. Council must withdraw the application, sit down and have a fair negotiation with these three rural communities, your neighbours.

Mayor Cook, I remind you to ask around town, about the Cariboo-Chilcotin Land Use Plan and what a fight that was.

The good folks of the Cariboo-Chilcotin fought to have their say against a larger population from Vancouver and Victoria.

Perhaps a little history lesson is in order for the professor.

Important clarifications about high school name changes Editor: The following is an excerpt from my district blog.

Not surprisingly, there has been much talk in the Williams Lake community this week about the campus names of Lake City Secondary being changed at the last board of education meeting.

The Western Campus became the Columneetza Campus, and the Carson Campus became the Williams Lake Campus.

It’s important that I make two clarifications: The new amalgamated secondary school in Williams Lake (Grades 7-12) is still called Lake City Secondary.

While the campus names changed last week, the school name has not.

In this regard, the school is still going ahead with new team uniforms, new letterhead, etc.

There are not large costs associated with the campus name change.

While costs are never insignificant, new campus signs and some changes to the district’s transportation software will cost a few thousand dollars in a $50

Letters aLways weLcome

million dollar annual budget.

When the board discussed the possible name change last spring, the debate centred on maintaining history versus creating a new culture.

Both Columneetza and Williams Lake secondary schools had their own stories, and there were many reasons for the board to consider keeping both school names. Columneetza due to both its uniqueness and its First Nations history seems to bring about stronger feelings within the larger Williams Lake community, but Williams Lake Secondary, while obviously more generic, had its own history for both staff and students.

If the new school were to be given the name of either Columneetza or Williams Lake Secondary, one entity would have been swallowed up by another entity.

By giving the new school a new name, it was hoped that both staff and students would come together to create a fresh new identity.

Regardless of the school or campus names, a new culture is indeed being created at the new school.

I would venture to say that the majority of our students care less about school names and more about the new friends they are making, the old friends they have met up with again, and the new teachers from whom they are learning.

Ultimately, the quality of teaching and learning that is happening in the school is of the utmost importance as we move forward.

Respectful dialogue at ATV meeting Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Willdwood Trailer Park manager Liz Bellai points to a popular path used by young outdoor recreational vehicle drivers and says she is worried someone will get hurt, either the drivers or children playing in the trailer park. tor, decided it was time to host a community information meeting with the RCMP and last week a meeting took place at the Wildwood school on Monday, Oct. 21.

“There was good respectful dialogue,” Bischoff said of the meeting, “About 30 people attended. It was a mix with all sectors of the community.”

Williams Lake Insp.

Warren Brown, who attended the meeting, said the community seemed split.

“One side of the room expressed their concern over people riding dirt bikes down the streets at high rates of speed, running stop signs, causing a nui-

sance and concerned their children cannot play outside safely,” Brown said.

Other residents expressed their opinions that because they live more or less in a rural area, they should be allowed to drive ATVs and dirt bikes down the road, Brown said.

“They see nothing wrong with driving them to the gas station and filling up, despite the fact that all ATVs and dirt bikes are not licensed or insured.”

The RCMP do receive similar complaints occasionally from other rural communities, however, in Wildwood, it seems to have come to a boiling point with a few people, Brown said.

Residential Construction Program TRU is offering a 30 week Residential Construction program beginning in February 2014.

All aspects of residential construction are covered from the ground up. Students will build a complete house through the course of the program.

Seats are limited.

In partnership with the Child Development Centre, Williams Lake Construction Association and School District 27.

Wildwood Trailer Park manager Liz Bellai said she hopes she never has to peel someone off the pavement from a dirt bike accident in her neighbourhood.

Bellai frequently sees young dirt bike riders come off a trail adjacent to the highway and enter the cul de sac at the top of her trailer park.

“There are 13 kids living along that culde-sac and they are always playing outside right there,” she said, pointing to a grassy area across the lane from some trailers.

The trailer park and its roads are on private property.

Bellai has put signs up, but they disappear.

Area D Director Deb Bischoff said she has received concerns in writing similar to Bellai’s from people in the community who don’t know what else to do.

“Kids are roaring through stop signs, going 70, 80 miles an hour,” Bischoff said.

“I was almost t-boned two months ago.”

Finally Bischoff, who in this case was not acting as a direc-

Bellai said the RCMP told parents at the meeting the fine for driving an unlicensed vehicle on a road is $600.

Bischoff has been coming to Wildwood for 18 years and said the beauty of the community is that a person can hop on a quad or a bike, ride respectfully and quietly down the side of the road for half a block or a block and access trails.

“It’s within what makes Wildwood special, but it’s been abused,” Bischoff said. “I kept telling the kids and the adults what you are doing is putting the specialness of Wildwood at jeopardy and starting to peeve off some of the people who have lived here for a long time.”

The bikes, she added, are large, high powered bikes.

If those kids got off the bikes and pushed them walking through the trailer park, it wouldn’t be a problem, Bischoff said.

“It was a good meeting and I can only hope the community grabs hold of it and says, ‘kids this is what you need to do, adults this is what you need to do,’ we want to protect the uniqueness of Wildwood.”

The Chief and Council, and most of all, the people of the Williams Lake Indian Band would like to extend their sincerest appreciation and gratitude to all the businesses in Williams Lake who contributed to the construction of the gazebo and washroom for the newly restored Sugar Cane Church of the Immaculate Conception.

The Gazebo will be named the Anna Crucil Gazebo, in honour of mother of the Reid and Chevigny family. The church has been in continuous use for one hundred and eighteen years (since 1895) without the amenity of a washroom facility. Anyone who has attended the Sugar Cane Church can attest to this fact. Now this has changed mainly through the efforts and coordination of Bryan Reid and Peter Arnold of Pioneer Log Homes of BC. The following businesses from Williams Lake contributed toward the success of this amazing project which was started and completed in one week.

Our greatest appreciation goes out to the following generous contributors: Pioneer Log Homes of BC United Concrete & Gravel Mainline Roofing Co. Ltd. • Brandt Tractor Ltd. Mobil Arc Welding • Windsor Plywood Rona Home Centre Home Hardware Building Centre United Carpet • Tolko Industries Ltd. E.B. Horseman & Son • Neil Gerrior Electric

Proposed water act unfriendly Brrrrr, the worm has turned and the normal variety of Cariboo fall weather has finally appeared.

Now there will certainly be frost-on-thepumpkins! Have you ever noted, that no matter how nice and warm the days preceding (or the days after), Halloween always seems to occur on the nastiest day in the entire month? Is it a perverse rule of nature designed to shorten the goodie-gathering junket?

We also had our first notable amount of precipitation in awhile on Saturday night, as it poured most of the night.

is, in fact, vital to agricultural operations.

So much so that all producers need to note that the Province has recently released the legislative proposal for the new Water Sustainability Act and heed the fact that they have only a brief four-week period in which to comment. Public feedback will only be accepted up to November 15, 2013.

The BC Cattlemen’s Association strongly encourages individual producers to visit the following website: www.engage.gov.bc.ca/

watersustainabilityact.

There you can read the Legislative Proposal (or Overview), see what others have been saying and post your own comment on the blog.

Some areas to consider commenting on (primary to agriculture) might include; Retention of First-in-Time, First-in-Right model of licensing, priority (putting agricultural waterneeds ahead of oil, gas, mining, subdivision and other communitydevelopment), secure access (for livestock) to water sources (private and Crown lands), allow off-stream watering (without transferring volumes from irrigation licenses), recognize (allow) unrecorded use by

livestock, invest in water storage-infrastructure, encourage water-conservation (incentives/ funding for irrigation upgrading) and resistance to (opposition) water metering.

Please make the time to inform yourself and speak now.

Many times we procrastinate, believing someone else has our backs, so we do nothing; only rousing to complain when it is far too late, long after the deed is done or in this instance, perhaps, after an agricultureunfriendly new Water Sustainability Act is already law.

Helping volunteers make a difference Few things in life are as rewarding, and do as much good for the community, as volunteering with children and vulnerable adults. Working for a volunteer or non-profit organization makes a big difference in the lives of many people, and we are lucky to have so many great volunteers who are willing to give their time to a good cause.

Our province is a leader when it comes to protecting and ensuring the safety of children

and vulnerable adults.

Two years ago, B.C. became the only province to implement mandatory criminal record checks of those who work with vulnerable adults, which include the elderly and people with disabilities. These checks ensure that these vulnerable groups aren’t

at risk of exploitation or abuse.

However, the cost of criminal record checks can place a burden on volunteers and nonprofit organizations, creating barriers to participation.

To help overcome these barriers, our province is making volunteer and non-profit groups eligible for free criminal record checks for their volunteers who work with vulnerable adults and children.

By removing the bar-

riers to volunteering that the cost of criminal record checks created, more people will be able to volunteer with groups like youth sports associations or organizations that provide support for those with disabilities.

I’d like to thank all of the fantastic volunteers out there who share their time to make our community a better place to live.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

KEITH MORGAN

The future is electric AMSTERDAM – BMW has joined the race for the electric car dollar.

On the evidence of two days driving the funky-looking all-electric i3 through the narrow streets of old Amsterdam and alongside the picturesque canals of rural Holland, the German manufacturer may have a winner.

For starters, it is simply great fun to drive. The lithium-ion battery, encased in an aluminum cage below the five-seater cabin, provides enough instant zap to the electric motor to propel the car smoothly to 100 klicks in less than eight seconds. Left the stopwatch

It handles beautifully at any speed and hugs the road; thanks to the technology-laden aluminum platform, that gives it a very low centre of gravity. Turns on a Euro too, as we found during the many U-turns made on blocked streets.

Car Girl’s Garage: Amy Lawson leads an active life side with people and still have room for more.”

The Dodge Grand Caravan that she selected is the Crewe trim, which also came with some extras.

She has a towing package, a rear DVD entertainment system (perfect for passing time on ferry rides!), Stow ‘n Go seats, remote keyless entry to the doors and liftgate and more.

While she can’t be happier with her purchase, the signing on the dotted line did make her heart beat quite a bit faster.

“There’s a lot of anxiety to buying a car. It’s a big purchase and you want to make sure you make the best choice you can.”

And speaking of choices, the biggest question when selecting her chariot of choice?

“Should I get the white one or the black one?!”

‘‘

When chatting about potential matches, the idea of a minivan came up. I saw the excitement in her eyes.

Amy Lawson chose a Dodge Grand Caravan to match her lifestyle.

By Alexandra Straub

Amy Lawson, 35, leads an active life.

She likes to be outdoors, to play sports, surf, bake and has a thriving social life.

Professionally, she was recently promoted to be the Territory Manager for Drydock Footwear Group.

Her territory covers British Columbia and Alberta.

Being on the road is a sizeable component of her work.

When it came time to trade in her Nissan Xtrail — which she loved to pieces — she was torn when deciding what vehicle to purchase.

“The Xtrail has been a fabulous car, but I’ve

outgrown it and need something that can better accommodate all my equipment,” she says.

In the process, she considered SUVs, hatchbacks and crossovers. The Ford Flex, Ford Escape, Honda Pilot, Mitsubishi Outlander were on her list to look at.

Amy states, “When I started to research vehicles, the No. 1 thing on my priority list was interior space. I needed lots of it.”

She continues, “I didn’t mind if the vehicle wasn’t sexy! I need functional.

Good looks were secondary to me.”

Because of her current role, it requires travelling around the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, BC and Alberta with various

promotional gear, display units, sample products and more.

Not to mention, if she can pack in her sports equipment like her bicycle, snowboard or surfboard in, too, that would be even better.

Price was also a factor for her.

“I had a budget to work with, and I needed my payments to be around $500 a month,” Amy mentions.

“And since I’d be spending a fair amount of time behind the wheel, I’d need something that was comfortable, too.”

When chatting about potential matches, the idea of a minivan came up.

I saw the excitement in

her eyes.

In her personal life, she is not the typical minivan candidate. With no children to drive to hockey or soccer practice, some people might question her enthusiasm.

But to her, it seemed like the perfect fit.

“I was just so excited about it. Minivans make life so much easier and you can just do so much with them,” she explains.

“It made a lot more sense than a pickup and much more sense than an SUV.” A few minivans/minivan-esque vehicles she looked into were the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna and Mazda5.

Though the Honda and Toyota appealed to her,

Drives-U-Crazy: Erratic drivers

By Keith Morgan

An early morning drive from Kelowna to Vancouver is normally a pleasurable experience.

But a recent a jaunt was

made much less so by an erratic driver, whose actions required all fellow travellers to watch his antics with great care and attention.

The young guy at the

wheel of a late model Honda CR-V constantly changed speed, below and beyond the posted speed limit. If he wasn’t passing and cutting in too early, he was inexplicably reducing

his speed and dropping back in the passing lane.

Thank goodness, he pulled off at Merritt.

it was the Dodge Grand Caravan that had exactly what she was looking for.

It was in her price range and had some handy features that would allow easy loading and unloading of her gear.

She even really likes its look. Amy tells me, “I can fit two mountain bikes in-

Ford Fusion: a look from 2010 to 2012

By Bob McHugh

Amid lingering global financial turmoil, recession recovery was already in high-gear at Ford, with an over a 40 per cent year-over-year sales gain that made Ford the top-selling automaker in Canada, in 2009.

It was also the year it launched an all-new 2010 model year version of its popular mid-sized family car the Ford Fusion.

The 2010 Fusion was offered in SE and SEL trim levels with a choice of a 2.5-litre I4 or a 3.0-litre V6 engines and a 3.5-litre V6 powered an allnew Fusion Sport model with all-wheel-drive.

Ford also introduced its first hybrid edition of Fusion with an Atkinson cycle version of the 2.5-litre engine and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (e-CVT).

The hybrid’s battery is a nickel-metal hydride type

A new standard innovation was a fuel filler system called EasyFuel. Not only does it elminate the need to remove a gas cap when filling up, it reduces evaporative emissions..

that’s smaller and lighter than competitors and it’s temperature is controlled by air extracted from the passenger cabin.

Claimed city/highway fuel consumption is a very impressive 4.6/5.4 L/100km.

Fuel consumption ratings for the other Fusion engines are as follows; 9.4/6.4 L/100 km (city/ highway) for the 2.5-litre;

11.1/7.3 (city/highway) for the 3.0-litre V6 models; and 12.7/8.3 (city/ highway) for the 3.5-litre with all-wheel drive.

A new optional safety feature on the 2010 Fusion (well worth having) was a Blind Spot system that comes with Cross Traffic Alert, which was a unique to Ford system.

Radar sensors in the rear side quarter panels can detect a moving object within a 20 metre (65-ft) range on either side. Great to have when vision is restricted (as it often is) when backing out of a parking stall.

This generation is also a quieter Fusion.

Changes to reduce cabin noise levels include an acoustic windshield, thicker front-door glass, new hood insulators, additional sound deadening in the trunk and a new headliner in the cabin that’s made with an absorption material.

ICBC Tips

the cabin was also a new standard feature of Fusion.

A new standard innovation was a fuel filler system called EasyFuel.

Not only does it eliminate the need to remove a gas cap when filling up, it reduces evaporative emissions.

You simply push the fuel-pump nozzle into a gas tank receptacle and it automatically seals shut when removed.

Six standard airbags helped the Fusion attain a top five-star crash-test rating.

If an air bag is deployed, Fusion also has a unique emergency alert system that flashes the hazard warning lights

and sounds the horn, to attract attention.

An electronic stability-control system with a brake-activated traction control system was a new standard safety feature.

The MyKey security system was made a standard feature on the 2011 Fusion, a spotter mirror, to help eliminate blind spots, was incorporated in the door mirrors and the SE edition got standard automatic headlights.

No significant changes were made for 2012.

Good reliability, owner satisfaction and low cost of repair ratings helped the 2012 Ford Fusion get a “Recommend” rating

Dairy Queen owner Chrissie Gertzen is thrilled with the work of employee Cory Sulin, who has been with the company for about eight months now. Sulin receives support in finding and keeping work through a Community Living B.C. employment program.

EMPLOYMENT: Program

Dairy Queen worker Cory Sulin is an example of the possibilities available if employers and those with disabilities work together.

And he was very excited to be seen as such last Wednesday during a planned meeting between himself and Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation Don McRae, who was touring the province to check in on Community Living BC programs (CLBC).

McRae was unable to make the date, but that didn’t stop Sulin’s boss, Chrissie Gertzen, from discussing the advantages of the CLBC employment program and her feelings toward Sulin.

“I love his work — he’s an awesome part of the team. He’s always so happy and the staff love him,” said Gertzen, whose background was in social work before becoming a business owner.

Gertzen said she believes it’s very important that people with disabilities have the

same opportunities to work in their community as anyone else.

“Just because someone may learn differently doesn’t mean they can’t do the same work.”

She said a successful work partnership lies in keeping routines and making an effort as a staff to communicate.

“Treating them equal, but different,” she said.

Gertzen wonders if some employers are hesitant to hire people with disabilities due to the belief of added costs in training, which

she said just isn’t true.

“With the job coach, there really is no additional cost.”

The job coach program is a program provided by Community Living where staff shadow a client in their new job until such time as they are able to work independently in their new role.

Anyone interested in hiring someone with disabilities or to learn more about the program, can contact Williams Lake Association for Community Living at 250-398-8677 and ask for Sharon.

Community Living B.C. self advocates Linda Evans, her son William Evans and Dianne Bob, tell their stories and talk about the important work of self advocates at a meeting held at Axis Family Resources last Wednesday. The presentation was intended for Minister of Social Development and Social innovation, Don McRae, who is on a tour of the province, however, was unable to make the meeting.

He is also busy working at Community Futures and the share shed, as well as volunteering at the Salvation Army and Senior’s bingo on Fridays.

When questioned about whether they liked to volunteer their time or get paid, they all shared a laugh and said of course they preferred to get paid just like anyone else.

“There is lots of value in work,” said Dianne Bob, also a self advocate.

Klassen said people with intellectual disabilities are still discriminated against in their communities, including right here in Williams Lake.

“People with disabilities have been segregated from society for hundreds of years,” said Klassen.

“What we’re trying to do is make a change in the community … there needs to be more education.”

According to Klassen, a big step towards

equality for all, includes equal pay for all.

“They want to work and they want to be paid properly.”

Employment will be the emphasis of a new pilot project planned for this area in the coming months, with the goal of 100 more people with disabilities gaining employment.

Community Living BC has programs in place to support clients through the job search process, right through to on-the-job coaching.

By anyone’s standards, Community Living BC advocates Linda Evans, her 21-year-old son William Evans and 100 Mile House resident Dianne Bob are active, contributing members of their communities.

All three hold down several part-time jobs, live independently and manage to volunteer in many positions on top of that, including their roles as self advocates.

The three took centre stage last week at Axis Family Resources where their intended audience was Don McRae, minister of social development and social innovation, and Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett.

Neither politician made the appointment, however, staff from Williams Lake Association for Community Living (WLACL), Community Living BC as well as staff from Axis were happy to listen to the trio tell their stories and witness the importance of them being included as apart of the community.

Linda Evans has worked as a self advocate for years, planning and attending conferences across the province to network and bring about change for those with intellectual disabilities.

Too much candy can be scary

Rose Soneff Manage the candy: One of the biggest challenges for kids and parents is managing all that Halloween candy. Ellyn Satter is a well-known specialist on feeding children.

She offers these steps to help children learn to manage sweets and to keep sweets in proportion to the other food they eat: On Halloween night, when your children come home from trick-or-treating, let them lay out their candy, be really excited about it, sort it, and eat as much of it as they want, whenever they want. Let them do the same the next day. On the third day, have them put the candy away (out of sight) and tell them Halloween is over and the candy is a treat.

Explain that they can eat the candy at regular meal and snack times — a couple of small pieces for dessert or snacks. Serve milk with a candy snack to boost nutrition. When the candy is gone, return to healthier snacks.

Halloween is almost here and soon little ghosts and goblins will be wandering the streets in search of Halloween candy. If your children generally eat well all year long, then enjoying Halloween sweets is not a big deal — the key of course is moderation and making sure there is more to Halloween than just the candy. Try these ideas to help make Halloween a little healthier.

Serve a healthy meal. On Halloween night serve a healthy meal before the kids head out to go trickor-treating. If kids feel full before they go trick-or-treating, they will be less tempted to eat candy along the way and will eat fewer pieces of candy afterwards when they return home.

Hand out non-sugary treats. Stand out from the crowd and give out something other than candy. Fun alternatives to treats include Halloween styled pens, pencils, and stickers. If you do give out sweets, avoid the sticky gooey ones – try small plain chocolate bars or sugarless gums which are less likely to promote cavities.

Encourage exercise while trick or treating. Make trick-ortreating an active family affair. Walk from house to house instead of driving.

Wear pedometers to see how far you go.

End the evening with active play. End the trick-or-treating part of the evening early and return home

Chamber Chatter: AGM set for Oct. 31 Welcome to our newest members Kinikinik Restaurant and Store and Total Ice Training Centre Ltd. We look forward to introducing you at the general meeting!

Our guest speakers will be the Honorable Coralee Oakes, Minister of Community, Sport, and Cultural Development and James A. Belsheim, chair of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce and president of Neptune Terminals in Vancouver.

The terminal handles potash, steelmaking coal, vegetable oil, and agricultural products from across Western Canada. They also handle imported phosphate rock used in the production of fertilizer.

In addition, there will be a special presentation to the 2013 Business Excellence Awards recipients by the Business Development

Bank. Keith Viger, account manager from Kamloops will be making the presentation.

Do you go the extra mile? What percentage of your customers return? Are you helping your staff?

We all know when customers have a great shopping experience in a business as a result of excellent customer service; they will continue to shop there.

School closures raise PAC funding questions Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer New gaming funds were announced for school parent advisory councils in the Williams Lake and 100 Mile House areas last week, but there is some question about how the funds will be distributed given school closures and amalgamations.

School District 27 Superintendent Mark Thiessen said that at this point the district doesn’t have answers as to how the funding will be divided given the changes in the district or why some schools

are not on the list for PAC funding, but he will be examining the question.

The School District 27 District Parent Advisory Council and 21 school parent advisory councils in this area will share $99,980 in community gaming grants from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

Victoria announced the funding Oct. 23 in press releases from Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes and Cariboo MLA Donna Barnett.

“Parent Advisory Councils are a great way for parents to get

involved in their children’s education, and they provide wonderful services that really benefit students,” Barnett said. “These Community Gaming Grants help PACs in our region fund great programs and activities that enrich the lives of our children.”

Oakes reiterated the sentiment in her press release.

“Parent Advisory Councils make a big difference for students, organizing extra-curricular activities like sports and field trips, investing in playgrounds and sports equipment, and much more,” Oakes

Vant shares stories

said. “The funding that PACs receive through the Community Gaming Grant Program helps them continue to provide these great services for students.”

School PAC grants are based on student enrolment and are paid annually at $20 per student.

District Parent Advisory Councils, which are composed of members from each school PAC in a district, receive $2,500 a year to fund educational and promotional materials, administrative costs, and assist communication among schools, parents, students and the community.

Schools in the School District 27 area on the lists to receive PAC funding are as follows: 150 Mile House elementary: $5,700.

Horsefly Elementary Junior Secondary: $1,080.

Wildwood elementary: $500.

Cataline elementary: $6,500.

Chilcotin Road elementary: $4,220.

Columneetza Activities Association: $15,380.

Ecole Marie Sharpe elementary: $3,320.

Glendale elementary: $2,820.

GROW alternate: $6,160.

Kwaleen elementary: $2,100.

Mountview elementary: $4,220.

Nesika elementary: $5,420.

Sacred Heart Catho-

lic School: $1,520.

Williams Lake Secondary: $10,640.

100 Mile elementary: $6,200.

Peter Skene Ogden secondary: $13,280.

Mile 108 elementary: $4,260.

Anahim Lake elementary/secondary: $420.

Forest Grove elementary: $600.

Lac la Hache elementary: $560.

Horse Lake elementary: $3,080.

School PAC funding is based on last year’s enrolment figures which includes funding for Kwaleen, Glendale, and Buffalo Creek elementary schools that were closed this year, and for Columneetza and Williams Lake secondary schools which are operating as one school on two campuses this year.

Alexis Creek elementary/secondary; Anahim Lake elementary/junior secondary; Big Lake elementary; Bridge Lake elementary; Dog Creek elementary/junior secondary; Likely elementary/junior secondary; Horse Lake elementary; Naghtaneqed elementary/junior secondary; and Tatla Lake elementary/junior secondary were not on the funding list.

Community achievement awards nomination deadline coming up Every community has one or more people who make life better for their communities.

They apply their hard work, skills and talents to such areas as arts and culture, sports and recreation, multiculturalism, environment, healthcare, education, civic duty, business innovation, community volunteerism, philanthropy and youth or seniors’ leadership.

The deadline on nominations for the prestigious B.C Achievement Awards

is coming up Friday, Nov. 15 and the foundation administering the awards is encouraging community members across the province to make their nominations of worthy people in their communities.

“Each year, we encourage communities to consider their citizens who make a difference,” said Keith Mitchell, BC Achievement Foundation chair.

“Take the time to nominate the special people who contribute

to your communities — either as a volunteer or in the course of their work — and who inspire by their example.”

Information about how to nominate is found at www.bcachievement.com, by calling 604-261-9777 or toll free at 1-866 882-6088.

New for 2013 is an online nomination process.

Recipients are selected by an independent advisory council of community leaders based on the nominee’s contribution and com-

mitment to the community.

Recipients will be honoured at a ceremony held at Government House in Victoria in spring 2014 where they will receive a unique medallion designed by BC First Nations’ artist Robert Davidson.

Established and endowed by the Province in 2003, the BC Achievement Foundation is an independent foundation that celebrates excellence in community service, enterprise, arts and humanities.

Former Petty Officer Julia Rook of the 202 Chilcotin Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps was sworn in as an Ordinary Seaman of the Royal Canadian Navy on Oct. 9, 2013 in Vancouver.

She left for basic training at Saint Jean Quebec on Oct. 26.

Rook received the Lord Strathcona Medal at the Cadet Annual Review in June.

Julia attributes her success to her many years in the Cadet Corps, playing rugby, receiving her Dog Wood and going away on a Rotary Youth Exchange to Taiwan.

The City of Williams Lake’s fourth group of Junior Councillors was sworn into office at the Oct. 22 Council meeting, bringing the total number of young people who have served in that capacity so far to 18.

Chief Administrative officer Darrell Garceau administered the oath of office to Monica Rawlek, Gagan Vaid, Brooklyn Thiessen, Rebekah Corbett, Hanna Hett, and Tanner Nickel, who will serve his second term on Junior Council. All six are students at Lake City Secondary School’s Carson campus.

The purpose of the Junior Council program is to provide an opportunity for the youth of Williams Lake to acquire a greater knowledge of and appreciation of the local government system through active participation in decision-making and to assist Council of the City of Williams Lake to obtain input from youth in decisions before Council.

Each year Junior Council sets learning goals and then chooses a project to work on. In 2011/12 Junior Council received group facilitator and leadership training and then led a workshop for adults on youth engagement and hosted a full day youth forum. In 2012/13 Junior Council worked on planning to develop a public outdoor ice rink for the community to use.

The City’s inaugural Junior Council began in April 2011. The Council is modeled after a similar program in the Town of Clearwater, where high school students organize and hold meetings, communicate to the City the issues, needs, and recommendations of the youth, and make presentations to City Council, among other initiatives.

Sawmills closing in beetle aftermath Tom Fletcher Black Press Sawmills in Quesnel and Houston are to be closed next year as their owners trade timber cutting rights to maintain competing operations in the two B.C. Interior communities affected by mountain pine beetle infestation.

Canfor Corp. announced it will close its Quesnel mill in March 2014, transferring its forest licence for the region to West Fraser to supply logs to its recently rebuilt Quesnel mill. West Fraser announced it will close its Houston mill next year, trading part of its cutting rights to Canfor to supply its Houston operation.

West Fraser CEO Ted Seraphim said in

a statement its Houston closure will affect 225 employees. The company plans “major rebuilds” of its sawmills in 100 Mile House and Smithers, and is proceeding with a bioenergy projects at its Fraser Lake and Chetwynd operations.

“Our first priority is to explore opportunities to transition Houston employees to one of our other operations, and we will provide assistance in finding new employment,” Seraphim said.

Canfor CEO Don Kayne said the 209 employees at its Quesnel mill will be offered positions elsewhere in the company.

“The additional fibre we have been able to secure in the exchange agreement

with West Fraser enhances the fibre requirements for our Houston facility,” Kayne said.

Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad, who chaired a review of Interior timber supplies in the wake of last year’s explosion and fire at Babine Forest Products in Burns Lake, said he expected the decision to reduce mill capacity in the Quesnel region.

“The surprise is the closure of the Houston mill, from my perspective,” Rustad said.

“I think West Fraser has always been looking at how they want to move the wood between the three mills, but when we looked at the opportunities in the Houston area on the timber supply component, there was

a significant amount of wood in that area, and our hope was it would continue to support two mills.”

Rustad said the de-

cision last December to provide timber for Oregon-based Hampton Affiliates to rebuild its Burns Lake sawmill “had only

very minimal impact” on supply for the other mills in the region.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson was scheduled to return

Friday from a lumber trade mission in Japan and China, along with industry executives from across the province.

JUNIOR: Curlers

Sweeping into new season Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The strength of any curling club lies in its youth.

That’s why, for the past seven years, Frank Giesbrecht has volunteered part of almost every Sunday to help teach the sport to the city’s fledgling curlers as coach of the Williams Lake Curling Club’s junior program.

“These days you can come

out here to the club on any given night and the average age of a curler is quite older — 40-plus in years — so our goal is to try to get as many 30-something curlers as possible, bring their kids in, and the club will grow,” Giesbrecht said.

“The Williams Lake Curling Club is a community-based organization and to serve the community is our goal and the better we can do that the better we all are.”

The junior curling program, which began Oct. 21 and runs every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. until spring break, currently has close to 10 curlers registered.

Giesbrecht said the program focuses on having fun and teaching strategy, tactics and fundamentals, and invited anyone interested in trying out the sport to join the group on Sunday.

“We get them on the ice and

moving around and having fun,” he said.

“It’s not the end of the world if you don’t do it right because pretty much everyone is not doing it right.”

Giesbrecht, meanwhile, said he loves teaching the sport and has seen several curlers from Williams Lake go on to play at a highly competitive level.

Williams Lake Curling Club junior curlers Alisah Arnold (left), 13, and Tatiana Hill, 12, practice sweeping as assistant coach Elisa Giesbrecht (back) looks on.

Curling a lifelong sport Continued From Page B1 In 2012, Williams Lake’s Michelle Ball, Paige Gudbranson, Tori Swan, Elisa Giesbrecht, who’s helping Giesbrecht this year as an assistant coach,

and Lexi Swan travelled to Victoria to compete at the provincial championships.

Earlier this January Gubrandson, Elisa and Swan joined Sarah Green in 100 Mile House at the Juvenile Girls Zone Playdowns.

“I enjoy this a ton,” he said. “It’s what I do. I spend a lot of my time here in the winter. We sort of say in curling that it’s a sport that is from eight to 80 … you can start as young as eight, like we’ve got here,

or you can curl until you’ve got a foot in the grave.”

Williams Lake Stampeders forward Nathan Zurak looks to beat a check and also Quesnel Kangaroos’ netminder Ryan Manderson Saturday at the Twin Ice Arenas in Quesnel.

Kangaroos edge Stamps to take over first in division The Williams Lake Stampeders lost the third of five scheduled regular season meetings with the Quesnel Kangaroos on the road Saturday.

The defeat leaves the Stamps behind two games to one in the season series.

Quesnel’s Justin Fulton dominated the contest in the final frame to pot three of his five goals — the third coming on an empty net — and seven points (5-2-7) to propel the Kangaroos past the Stampeders, 7-5.

For Williams Lake

defenseman Brent McIsaac led all scorers with two goals and two assists for four points (2-2-4).

The weekend setback allowed the Kangaroos to leapfrog Williams Lake to the top of the standings in the Central Interior Hockey League East Division.

In seven games so far the Kangaroos have four wins and three losses.

The Stampeders, with one game less played, have three wins, two losses and one overtime loss, and are one point back of

the ‘Roos in the division.

Saturday, Quesnel jumped out to an early 3-0 lead with goals from Tyrell Turgeon (1-2-3), Cory Grabovski (1-1-2) and Fulton before Nathan Zurak (1-1-2) and Matt Lees (1-1-2) cut the deficit back to one early in the second period.

Fulton added his second of the night — a shorthanded goal — near the midway mark of the second period before Jassi Sangha (1-1-2) and Brent McIsaac, with two, gave Williams Lake a 5-4 lead heading into the

final frame.

There, Fulton scored three unanswered goals to seal the win for Quesnel.

Williams Lake’s Justin Foote faced 27 shots, while Quesnel’s Ryan Manderson turned aside 28 of 33 in the winning effort.

The Stampeders will have a chance for revenge this Friday, Nov. 1, when the ‘Roos visit the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex in Williams Lake for the fourth meeting between the two clubs this season.

Puck drop is 7:30 p.m.

Smylie named playoff MVP as WolfPack win third straight title

Head shave for breast cancer

She was so consistent all weekend and came up with the big kicks when we needed them.”

- Tom McManus, WolfPack head coach Vancouver). It was Sparrow’s second goal in as many matches.

In the second half, Quest pressed the WolfPack trying to score the equalizer.

“The wind was definitely a factor,” McManus said.

“At one point, we were buzzing around their net and Gilchrist made a save off Alanna Bekkering (fifth year, midfield, Kamloops).

Both looked at each other and shook their head because of the wind gusts.”

Emily Edmundson (fourth year, keeper, Kamloops) got the shutout.

“She came up with a few big saves, especially late for us,” McManus added.

Bekkering, for her play in the tournament, was named top midfielder.

Smylie, meanwhile, had a hat trick in the team’s semifinal victory over Langara on Saturday.

“Laura looked puzzled when they announced her name,” the

TRU coach laughed.

“I think she thought they read out the wrong name. But she was so consistent all weekend and came up with the big kicks when we needed them.”

When asked to compare his three championship teams, McManus said: “The first two teams had talent and a lot of passion. This year’s club has been great in so many ways — from the chemistry to their ability. We will definitely miss Laura, Alanna and Vanessa (Zilkie, third year, Kelowna) next season.”

The WolfPack will take a couple of days off before beginning to prepare for the 2013 Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association championships, which will be hosted by Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey beginning Nov. 6.

With the PACWEST title victory TRU runs its overall 2013 record to 15 wins and two ties.

They have won their last six matches in a row.

They couldn’t have gone out any better way.

Playing in their final match in PACWEST, the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s soccer team captured their third straight league title.

TRU sweeper, 150 Mile House fourth-year player Laura Smylie, was named the Playoff MVP. The WolfPack, who move to CIS in 2014 downed the Quest Kermodes 1-0 at Mariner Field in Nanaimo on Sunday. It was the first time in three years TRU won the gold medal in regulation time.

“The girls did what they had to do,” said WolfPack head coach Tom McManus, a three time PACWEST coach of the year.

“The conditions were similar to what we faced at last years Nationals in Prince Edward Island — a howling wind. But the girls were smart and efficient and did their job.”

Safety Tips

Wednesday, October 30, 2013 Williams Lake Tribune

www.wltribune.com B7

Safe ways to trick-or-treat What would Halloween be without trickor-treating? For youngsters, so much of the fun of Halloween involves scouring the neighbourhood with friends in search of candy.

While children may have their eyes on the sweet prize, parents may be concerned about their little ones’ safety.

In Canada, an average of three million trick-ortreaters venture out every year across the country.

Such a high number of people out on the streets increases the risk of injury, and it can be easy for kids to get lost as well.

Halloween is an important night for parents to be extra vigilant.

But Halloween seems to lessen one’s inhibitions, and wearing a costume and being hidden from others can encourage some revelers to engage in atypical and unsafe behaviors. To ensure everyone has a safe and fun Halloween, here are some safety tips to follow. * Go in groups.

Children can be accompanied by their parents while older children should be encouraged to trick-or-treat in groups. Should an emergency occur, having a group of friends around

enables someone to call for help or alert an adult. * Use a flashlight. When trick-or-treating at night, take steps to improve visibility. This includes using reflective tape on costumes and carrying a flashlight or glow sticks so that other pedestrians

as well as drivers will be able to see children. * Walk on sidewalks.

Wherever possible, trick-ortreaters should use sidewalks and crosswalks.

Avoid walking in the street, where the risk of being hit by a car is considerable.

Twice as many

kids are hit by a car while walking on Halloween than any other day of the year. * Avoid distractions.

Trick-or-treaters should not be wearing earbuds or talking on a phone while trickor-treating. They should be paying attention to their surroundings and

using caution. * Do not enter homes. If an adult or even a youngster whom a child does not know offers entry to the home, the trick-or-treater should not enter.

Let kids know they should only enter the homes of known friends, and even then they should only do so after getting permission from a parent. * Consume only factorywrapped treats.

Well-meaning people may hand out cupcakes or marshmallow cereal treats. The ingredients such people use and the safety of these treats cannot be confirmed, so it is best to stick with store-bought items instead. * Wear wellfitting shoes.

Shoes that are uncomfortable or loose can cause children to fall and risk injury. * Adults should drive carefully.

All drivers should slow down and anticipate children darting out into the roadways on Halloween. Drive slowly and pay attention to the roads.

Drugstore Cowgirl book launch Friday LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Pat McKay’s recently-published book, Drugstore Cowgirl Adventures in the Cariboo Chilcotin, tells the story of a young woman’s transatlantic move from life in England working at the BBC, to life in the Cariboo wilderness working as a ranch cook.

The book title is based on the expression “drugstore cowboy” which describes a a “wannabe” cowboy who buys his cowboy outfit in a drugstore.

McKay will sign copies of her book at the Open Book this Friday, Nov. 1 starting at 1:30 p.m.

McKay’s book includes entertaining references to local people and local ranches.

When she arrived at her first job as a ranch cook, she said that everybody was in for a big surprise. Her new employer had no idea she didn’t actually know how to cook and she had no idea what it meant to live in a bunk house as a ranch hand.

“I grew up watching cowboy movies; we didn’t have a lot of

In her 20s she worked at the BBC, and had a friend there who was coming to Canada.

“I saw an advertisement for a cook in the Cariboo region of B.C. and knew I wanted to go,” McKay says.

“I had always wanted to go where the John Wayne movies were made. My mom and dad said they would always help if I needed it. ‘If it’s your

dream, you go,’ my dad said.’”

She arrived in the Cariboo in 1964 and for several years worked at places like the 70 Mile House Flying U Guest Ranch, Pollard’s Guest Ranch just north of Clinton and Hanceville Guest Ranch three miles from Lee’s Corner.

Resilient and resourceful, enchanted with her new life, she adapted and thrived.

She shares tales of skinny dipping, wild kitchen misadventures and her first wobblykneed ride on a horse.

There is romance, mystery, history and music, as well as captivating characters and vivid descriptions of an era when a handshake sealed a deal, when you needed your neighbours to survive whether you liked them or not, and when a rodeo and a good country dance were the heart of a community.

“I think a lot of people want to be cowgirls and cowboys,” McKay says.

“I love it here. In my experience there was great honour among cowboys and a certain

standard.

“Your handshake was good enough for any business transaction and you never shot anyone in the back.”

Although she says she never became a “real” cowgirl, she states that she did marry a couple of cowboys. Her second husband John was a big, gentle cowboy who ranched in Redstone for many years.

“I worked at the local school and knew of John through his children. I met John square dancing in Williams Lake and we were together for 35 years. At one point we moved to Gibsons and farmed there for 25 years,” she continued.

Now back in Williams Lake, she continues to write and has another book “in the wings.”

“What I’ve tried to convey in the book is the feeling of freedom, and the feeling of support from your neighbors and your community.

“When you’re in trouble there will be someone to help you; people rely on each other for survival.”

Nature centre writing adventure for kids Anne Theresa White has been mentoring young writers in the community for several years.

Her daily walks at the Scout Island Nature Centre feed her creative spirit.

She has even written a magical children’s book set there.

During the school fall break in November White and Scout Island Nature Centre staff naturalist, Paula Laita, will combine

nature walks and outdoor games with writing activities to nurture the expressive potential of participating children.

The course is open for children ages seven to 14 and will run Nov.

13, 14, and 15 from 1 to 4 p.m. each day.

“Join us for a nopressure exploration of writing about what we see, feel and discover while playing in nature,” invites nature centre manager Sue

Hemphill.

HAVE ROTOR-TILLER: Will travel

Puddle Produce wraps up first SPIN season Chris Hornby Special to Tribune/Advisor

Friday, Nov. 1 Saturday, Nov. 2

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer SPIN or Small Plot INtensive Farming arrived in Williams Lake this spring with a new resident from Victoria.

Brianna van de Wijngaard invested in a truck, rotor-tiller, tools, seed and other garden supplies and enlisted the co-operation of a few willing property owners, to start her SPIN farming business, Puddle Produce Urban Farms.

Her father came up from Victoria last March to help Brianna get settled here and together they built a greenhouse on one of her lease properties.

“I couldn’t have done it without him,” Brianna says.

All the seeds Brianna used were either certified organic, and/or GMO-free.

Her seed suppliers range from West Coast Seeds and Stellar Seeds here in B.C., to Mumm’s in Saskatchewan and Johnny’s Seeds in the U.S. She sold some of the bedding plants at the city’s Seedy Saturday event May 4 and saved the rest of the plants for her gardens.

Brianna tilled and planted 4,500 square feet of garden space on four privately owned properties in Williams Lake.

She rotor-tilled the plots twice, raked out the sod, then added well-seasoned manure and compost before forming the beds.

In exchange for use of their property, the owners were given a weekly supply of in-season veggies.

Brianna sold the rest of the produce she grew at the Cariboo Growers Food Co-op, through direct sales and at the Friday farmer’s markets.

While her record keeping may not be perfect in this first year of operation Brianna estimates she raised and sold about 700 kilograms or approximately 1,540 pounds of produce.

She grew 14 types of vegetables including lettuce, radishes, carrots, tomatoes, beets, summer and winter squash types, pea and sunflower shoots, zucchini, and five types of potatoes.

She also grew the tiny Cariboo potatoes at the Potato House garden for the non-profit society.

In keeping with this closer to home market garden approach to farming and conserving energy, Brianna used her bicycle and trailer for about 75 per cent of

Artists and potters annual sale The local artists and potters are hosting their biggest sale of the year this weekend. They will have displays set up at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre from noon to 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov.1 and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2.

“It’s a combination of potters and artists so there should be lots of different pieces to see,” says potter Judy Prevost. “Its our biggest sale of the year and a few of our newer potters are taking part as well. It will be fun!”

Brianna van de Wijngaard tills one of her SPIN plots. her farm operations.

“I’m aiming higher next year,” says Brianna, who is also the community liaison for the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society’s Water and Waste Wise programs.

Brianna says she didn’t encounter very many pests at all this year, but did have some deer come through and trample some of her garden beds in September.

“They didn’t even really eat anything,” Brianna says. “Just trampled some beds!”

Brianna says she recouped about 50 per cent of her start-up costs this season, and is looking forward to continuing her SPIN farming project next year with the aim of making a profit.

She hopes to expand the program and eventually offer a boxa-week program for clients.

“Box a week is definitely something I will do in the future – hopefully by 2015,” Brianna says.

One of the places she will plant a garden next summer will be at the Seniors’ Village. “That is quite exciting,” Brianna says.

Raised in Victoria, Brianna began working on organic farms in the Bella Coola Valley in 2011, before moving to Williams Lake for a short contract with the Cariboo Regional District that same year.

Back in Victoria she worked on other urban and peri-urban farms while studying plant and soil health and obtaining certifi-

cation as an organic master gardener from Gaia College.

Meanwhile she kept in touch with the experienced farmers she had met here in Williams lake.

“I always knew I wanted to come back to Williams Lake, and SPIN farming provided the perfect opportunity to return,” Brianna says. “I discovered SPIN and that was that.”

Brianna is also the community liaison for the Cariboo-Chilcotin Conservation Society’s Water and Waste Wise programs.

SPIN Farming is a non-technical, easy to learn and inexpensive method of vegetable and fruit farming that makes it possible for a farmer to earn a living wage from land plots under an acre in size.

Local farmer Micheal Atwood says this type of small-plot farming was done during war time to produce fresh produce for families and the troops.

Today’s SPIN farming approach to urban land use was initiated by rural Saskatchewan farmers turned urban farmers Wally Satzewich and Gail Vandersteen.

They discovered they made more on the organic radishes and salad mix they grew in their city backyard than on the rows of vegetables they were trying to protect from pests, pestilence and wind in their large commercial gardens.

Woodjam Creek restoration complete Bruce MacLeod Special to Tribune/Advisor Five to 600 people attended the Horsefly River Salmon Festival, on the Sept. 28/29 weekend.

We had lots of volunteers to help operations to run smoothly.

There was a large family participation, and we feel the young people are learning valuable information regarding the river and all the contributing factors to a healthy system.

The Arts on the Fly entertainment on Saturday night at the Horsefly Community Hall was excellent; and the festival was attended by two CRD representatives who were suitably impressed with our salmon trail and the festival.

Sam Albers, our channel manager gave walking tours along the trail which went very well.

Next year we will have folk stationed right at the spawning channel to provide information.

We are not sure if we are getting the same folks out year after year, or if new faces appearing. Perhaps we should have a guest book.

The general consensus is that BC Rivers

Photo submitted

Erosion on Woodjam Creek (above) is corrected (below) allowing salmon to once again spawn in the creek.

Day is a good choice for the festival, and there was ongoing discussion as to whether the festival should be for only one day, but because of some people working Saturday.

It was decided to continue with the two day event.

Steve Hocquard gave a glowing report of the Woodjam Creek repairs, indicating that the co-operation given by the Louis Seelhof

with his excavator and labour was invaluable and the project is a tribute to the accomplishments that can be achieved with owner participation.

The new 50-meter route for the creek was immediately inhabited

by Kokanee and trout, and it was suggested to tour the site after the spring freshets, and open it to interested community members.

The work had the

full approval of Northern Shuswap Tribal Council.

Funding was provided by Pacific Salmon Foundation and Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

DFO and NSTC provided valuable input to the process as well.

Our proposal to the Land Conservancy regarding the management of the Horsefly River Riparian Conservation Area is not in place yet but is ongoing, and we are still researching a better outhouse system and location.

Our meetings will continue to be held at the Horsefly Library every third Thursday of the month with the exception being December when no meeting will take place.

Much concern was expressed regarding director liability for the campground because of young teens drinking and partying at the location during the AOF festival. This responsibility will be investigated.

At the Nov. 21 meeting members are asked to bring ideas for short, medium and long-term goals for the Roundtable to strive for.

See you at the next meeting!

community Partners for literacy photo contest begins Nov. 1

Melody Newcombe Special to Tribune/Advisor Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy is hosting its third annual photo literacy contest.

The contest is really simple you take a picture of someone using his or her literacy skills.

So what are literacy skills, those are the skills you use when you’re reading, writing and using math skills.

This could be a cashier at one of Williams Lake stores ringing up your order or your friend reading the Tribune/ Advisor newspaper while having their morning coffee, you decide.

Grab your camera and start taking pictures of your children, friends, coworkers, and neighbors.

Have your pictures show us what literacy means to you. Have fun.

The contest will run from Friday, Nov. 1 to Saturday, Nov. 30.

The contest has three prizes available for the three best photos.

There is a prize for the best adult (over 18 years), for a child (under 18 years) and a random third prize.

Everyone is encouraged to enter.

Once you have your photo email it to mel@caribooliteracy.com as a full jpeg, meaning you send your photo in its original size.

If you are sending a photograph by regular mail send it to M. Newcombe, P.O. Box 48, 108 Mile Ranch, B.C., V0K 2Z0.

All photos will be published on the CCPL’s website at www.caribooliteracy. com. All photos will be property of CCPL for promotional use.

Do not send photos to the Williams Lake Tribune.

The photos must identify the person or persons in the photo and you must sub-

mit their (first and last names) left to right. The person or
