Mountain bike trails face roadblocks Greg Sabatino Staff Writer As the final patches of snow melt on the city’s mountain bike trails, access to some of its most popular downhill trails hangs in the balance.

The lower portion the Fox Mountain Trail Network will be closed this spring until further notice due to conflicts with private landowners.

Justin Calof, executive director with the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium — the association responsible for managing and maintaining the trail

network — said the CMBC was recently contacted by concerned residents who own parcels of land adjacent to the lower section of the Fox Mountain Trail Network.

The residents have requested no further recreational use on their properties, which affects the bottom portions of premier downhill trails Mitch’s Brew bottom, the Loon Trail and Aflo.

In the meantime the CMBC is asking all riders to respect the landowners’ wishes while they hope to negotiate an agreement.

The CMBC has already se-

cured a number of agreements on Fox Mountain with private landowners for recreational use, however, Calof said some parcels still require more work.

The CMBC said it will continue to work on agreements and is encouraging recreational users to explore other parts of the network this spring.

The City of Williams Lake, which has been working to help promote mountain biking tourism in the city and region over recent years, declined to comment on the closure.

Mark Savard, avid community mountain bike advocate and

CMBC board member, said the problem raises a larger issue surrounding land access.

“I think this is a good opportunity for governments to wake up and realize they have to have a long-term vision when managing land access for everyone,” Savard said. “There’s no point in having these rich resources if we can’t access them.”

Changes to the trail network has already impacted the community with a new format for the Fifth Annual Peel Out Mountain Bike Festival, held over the May long weekend. For more on the Peel Out see page B3.

Lack of mental health services explored in report

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A report into the tragic death of an Anaham teen shines a harsh light on the lack of mental health services available to families and children in crisis.

The teen, who committed suicide three years ago, was raised with a mom who struggled with bouts of severe mental illness.

The mom heard voices telling her to harm her children. She had violent episodes about five times a year and even expressed to health professionals during her first pregnancy she was worried about her ability to care for a child. She wondered if she should give her baby up for adoption, but was persuaded to keep her.

An investigation into the teen’s death by the Representative for Children and Youth and subsequent report Lost in the Shadows: How a Lack of Help Meant a Loss of Hope For One First Nations Girl found one of the key factors in the tragedy was the mother’s mental health and its effects on the teen, her grandparents and younger sister, who all lived together most of the girl’s life.

In an effort to im-

prove health services for First Nations communities such as Anaham, Lost in the Shadows’ author Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond explores the mother’s history, recounting that shortly after the girl’s birth the mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia. When her younger brother died in a car accident, people around her noticed her mental health deteriorated from there.

“While she had many interactions with physicians, nurses and psychiatrists, none of them sufficiently explored the physical and emotional risks to her children or to the grandparents posed by her illness,” the report states.

Turpel-Lafond told the Tribune the mother had serious periods of time when she could not parent.

Eventually it was recommended she not be left alone with her children, but some times the grandparents needed a break and would leave to go to town or go camping.

That was when bad things would happen.

When left alone with their mother, the girl would barricade herself and her younger sister in a bedroom to protect both of them from the mother’s unpredictable behaviour, the report noted.

Several times she called the RCMP to report her mother’s actions.

Describing the mom’s situation as an example of a “barbaric” way to approach mental health, TurpelLafond said anywhere else arrangements would have been made for respite care — alternative care for the children to give their

Chief Joe Alphonse of Anaham Reserve hopes his community becomes a safer place that everyone is proud of. grandparents a break.

“There would be things in place for when mom falls down so she can get herself together and come back.”

The mother had more than 40 contacts with the health profession in the CaribooChilcotin health region in terms of psychia-

trists, physicians and nurses and only one report went to the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD), yet this was a family in crisis, her report noted.

One of six recommendations which came out of TurpelLafond’s report requires the Ministry of

Health and MCFD to improve service collaboration and co-ordination for families where there is a parent with a mental illness.

That deadline is fast approaching. TurpelLafond set April 30 as the date for planning and implementation of the recommendation.

Top of the list is the

suggestion that both ministries need to take immediate steps to ensure all staff and professionals understand the risk factors relating to children of parents with a serious untreated mental illness and ensure the safety and well-being of children.

Another recommendation, with a dead-

line of July 31, is that the MCFD provide effective Children and Youth Mental Health Services.

Responding, the MCFD said it is looking to improve its part of the mental health system, but acknowledged that is something it cannot do on its own.

“We need to work with all of our partners including First Nations leaders and the Federal Government,” the ministry said in an e-mail.

“We are working with our service partners, stakeholders and Aboriginal partners to strengthen the system.”

For children and youth with special needs, the ministry said it is working with partners to explore alternative ways to deliver services to improve access, reduce wait lists, address overlaps and better support children according to their age.

Anaham receives emergency funding Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer As government agencies make steps to meet the demands of the Lost in the Shadows report, leaders at Anaham Reserve are also ensuring additional mental health services are available for their community.

The Anaham band has employed a mental health counsellor to come into the community two days every two weeks.

She is the same counsellor who first arrived to work with community members immediately after the teen’s suicide in 2011.

“She works with young families and has an expertise in working with youth and suicide prevention,” Anaham band manager Dave

Johnson said.

Presently the counsellor lives in Vancouver so it’s expensive to bring her to the Chilcotin, but Johnson pointed out there are lineups down the street at the end of the day when she is in the community for appointments.

The band hopes to expand her services and have other workers who will support her.

“Most people can understand poverty to a certain extent, but many of our communities are lacking in every aspect of mental health,” Johnson said. “It’s really important for us to ensure that essential services are being provided.”

Johnson said there have been a number of suicides in the past.

He said they are also dealing with a number of youthat-risk as well as gang violence on reserve.

“The list goes on,” he said.

“Where do you basically draw the line of where you are going to give the services needed to your own people?”

Johnson said Anaham is 100 kilometres away from Williams Lake, but there aren’t professionals who can come out on a weekly, let alone daily, basis so plans for the future include developing a mental health team on the reserve.

To pursue that hope, the community needs help from First Nations Health, and provincial and federal governments.

“This is a basic need across the province and the country,” Johnson suggest-

ed.

When Chief Joe Alphonse met with representatives from the MCFD, the Representative For Children And Youth and the First Nations Health Authority on March 27 in Victoria, he was told emergency funding will be provided so the mental health counsellor can continue coming to Anaham.

Alphonse said the new funding is a direct result of the Lost in the Shadows report.

“We don’t want more of these cases down the road,” Alphonse said of the teen’s death. “It is our responsibility to make sure our youth are the priority.”

When services are lacking, a lot of problems and issues are allowed to fester, he added.

NEWS Alberta man to stand trial after fatal crash

I spy with my little eye

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Angie Mindus photo

Const. Derek Henderson looks for driving infractions, including those distracted by cell phones, Tuesday morning on Mackenzie Avenue. The RCMP and Commercial Transport inspectors worked together during the operation.

Fire department responds to truck fire at hall Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Williams Lake fire department didn’t have to go far last Thursday to put out a fire.

At around 3 p.m.

April 3, crews returned from a dispatch to discover smoke coming from the engine of the department’s 1998 EI ladder truck that was plugged in inside the

hall.

Immediately crews doused the smoke.

“We’re not sure if there was a fault in the system somewhere or something just overheated,” said fire chief Des Webster Monday, who was in the process of arranging some transportation to send the truck to a fire truck manufacturer in Vancouver to assess the dollar damage.

“Hopefully we’ll know more once it’s assessed.”

A temporary replacement truck is coming so the department’s coverage isn’t hampered.

“We’re just lucky it happened in the afternoon and not at 3 a.m.,” Webster added.

It’s the first time there’s been a fire in the hall that Webster can recall.

An Alberta man has been ordered to stand trial in relation to the death of Kyle Vigeant last June.

A provincial court judge determined there was enough evidence to send the case against Kurtis Roby to trial following a preliminary hearing in Williams Lake Provincial Court recently.

Roby is charged with criminal negligence causing death, two charges of criminal negligence causing bodily harm, failing to stop at the scene of an accident involving bodily harm and obstructing a peace officer.

His next court appearance is scheduled for April 14 to fix a date for trial.

The charges stem from a fatal vehicle crash that took place June 24, 2013 on the Chimney Lake Road near Brunson Lake.

Evidence presented at the hearing is protected by a publication

According to the RCMP at the time of the incident, police responded to a call about a motor vehicle rollover at about 1:30 a.m. and discovered Vigeant, already deceased, and another 21-year-old passenger from Williams Lake with serious injuries, who was later transported to the hospital.

Police said the Dodge Ram involved in the incident was believed to be stolen from Alberta and that Roby, 21 years old at the time, and another passenger allegedly fled the scene, stole a Toyota Tundra from a nearby residence, but were later apprehended.

Roby has been in custody since the incident.

He has not yet entered a plea.

Sam Ketcham Pool Referendum Question of the Week

The Williams Lake Fire Department will be doing a “Fuel Mitigation/Training Session” In your area Tuesday, April 15,16, 22, 23, 2014 Between 6 pm & 9 pm Weather permitting

Were other options for changes to the pool considered?

Throughout 2012, a Pool Task Force consisting of numerous community members guided an extensive facility review and provided multiple public consultation opportunities.

The areas we are looking at are the water tower off of Gibbon Street, behind the Boitanio Mall, Stampede Grounds and the hill behind Williams Lake Secondary.

The consultations included multiple interviews with numerous community organization and stakeholder groups, on-line input opportunities, two open houses, and several days of information kiosks that were set up around town at high profile locations during which time the Pool Task Force spoke directly with hundreds of members of the public each day.

We are going to carry out a controlled burn, of the long grass in the area, to help eliminate a potential fire hazard.

This process allowed all to consider several design concepts ranging from only minor repairs to a completely new facility and the resulting preferred concept is a direct outcome from those consultations.

This will produce smoke and we are informing you so that you can take any necessary action to prevent the smoke from entering your premises.

The recommended design from the Pool Task Force is the project to be considered by the referendum, and it received very strong support at committee meetings, open houses and all community input opportunities.

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus

Holding court

Positive legislation moving forward

P

arents — encourage your children to be lawyers. I haven’t seen any statistics, but by the look of things, legal disputes involving governments are a growing industry.

“Majority” governments, like the kings of old, can pretty well do whatever they want to. Unhappy citizens can pout, protest, or go to court. More and more are going to court, and they often win.

Sometimes governments run afoul of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Harper government lost two cases recently for Constitutional no noes. The courts didn’t like the retroactive “tough on crime” law, and found French the proposed apConnection pointee to the SuDiana French preme Court to be ineligible.

The BC Civil Liberties is challenging the government in a number of cases.

On another front, Taseko Mines Ltd. has launched a suit claiming the federal environmental assessment panel acted unfairly in rejecting the New Prosperity Mine proposal.

Both the federal and provincial governments have had trouble with anti-union legislation.

The federal public service union is challenging Bill C-4 which, they say, has “gutted” their collective bargaining rights and the courts ruled against the B.C. government and in favour of suits by health workers (2007) and more recently the teachers’ union. Three environmental groups are taking the BC Oil and Gas Commission to court for violating B.C.’s Water Act. Closer to home, Williams Lake city council parted with $300,000 in legal fees last year for one thing or another, and the Harper government is reversing the process by challenging itself regarding a Tribunal decision that found the Williams Lake Indian Band has claim to city land.

There probably would be more such lawsuits if they weren’t so costly, few individuals have the money to take on a government.

Governments, on the other hand, have unlimited access to our pocketbooks.

Looking at the positive side, the citizen challenges, along with protecting our freedoms, do create jobs through the court process.

Our Viewpoint

City could turn lemons into lemonade It was disheartening to hear of the troubles facing some of Williams Lake’s most beloved downhill mountain bike trails.

A private land owner has put a public notice in the paper and also let the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium know that they do not want anyone biking through their land.

Unfortunately, that decision has lead to the closure of Aflo, Mitch’s Brew and the Loon DH because without trespassing over that private land there is no access from the lower portion of the city to the pristine Crown land above on Fox Mountain.

For those who ride, they will understand what a loss this is to the community.

For those who don’t, they should know that these trails keep youth and adults active and out of trouble.

They are also responsible for bringing dozens of riders from out of town to ride our coveted trails every year, not to mention the hundreds who come in for bike festivals like the Peel Out. In fact, in recent years mountain bik-

ing has quietly become a little industry of its own in the lakecity during a time when we’ve all needed some positive economic news to cling to.

Mountain biking was even a hot topic during the last municipal election, with candidates all singing the praises of local mountain biking trail development.

The city has gotten behind many projects including the new Snakes n’ Ladders trail and, of course, the Boitanio Bike Park. The city even included mountain biking in its recent rebranding package.

When we contacted the city regarding the trail closure, they chose not to comment.

Yes, buying land is an expensive venture, but considering Williams Lake is banking on mountain biking as a marketable tourism industry for our town, what do we have to lose?

Perhaps the city should buy the land in question if it’s an option.

This could be an opportunity, not an obstacle.

e are now more than halfway through the current Legislative session. Our government ambitiously brought forward more than 20 pieces of legislation making life better for British Columbians and for residents of Cariboo North.

One piece of legislation worth mentioning is Bill 13, the Off-Road Vehicle Act. This act is a comprehensive Off-Road MLA Vehicle manageMusings ment framework to making it easier Coralee Oakes to register ORVs in B.C. The act will put in place safety regulations to help reduce serious injuries and deaths, and officers will have more effective enforcement tools to track lost or stolen ORVs. We have also tabled Bill 18, the Water Sustainability Act, which is of historic importance to B.C. This act will protect our freshwater resources, including groundwater for generations ensuring our province remains the world leader in water stewardship.

Municipal governance is also being modernized. Bill 20, the Local Elections Campaign Financing Act will increase transparency in regards to campaign financing on the municipal level, and Bill 21, the Local Elections Statutes Amendment Act, will update the term of office for elected municipal officials from three years to four years.

On that note, as your MLA it is always my pleasure to listen to your questions and discuss issues that are important to you. I will be in Williams Lake participating in the Williams Lake Bull Sale and meeting with the Cariboo Regional District on Thursday, April 17. Our office is currently booking appointments if you would like to meet and have a discussion during that day.

If you are unable to make it on the April 17, my constituency staff will be in Williams Lake again on Monday, April 28. They will gladly assist you with any questions and bring forward any issues you may have to my attention. Please call our office at 1-866991-0296 to set up an appointment.

Wait for cost-efficient technology on mine Editor: Disinformation, things taken out of context, fear mongering (concerning jobs and economics), promises, assumptions and disagreements.

They are magnified and polarizing using the old divide and conquer method in order to get what one wants seems, in my mind, to be the method used by Taseko and the media to promote mining at Fish Lake.

Is this another Bre-X? Not quite.

Superficially, at first, it would create jobs but at what cost?

What the average Joe doesn’t seem to realize is at first it’s the taxpayers that pay, not the company, so much.

Sure there is low-grade gold associated with ore and copper.

They may drill here and there

and find evidence of trace amounts.

Yet, it’s still no real guarantee. It’s a gamble.

Canada is littered with abandoned mines of failed gamblers. The feds are only allowed to OK so many mines per year.

Taseko is merely one out of 100s that seek approval.

Logic dictates one would pick the mine with the highest potential with the least cost.

Fish Lake, in spite of the public relations, isn’t one of them.

People like Christy Clark, or even the mayor of Williams Lake, know this but support it merely because, in their eyes, they want to look good for the voters to show they support jobs.

The fact is even if it was approved we barely have the affordable technology to do this and actually make a profit.

That’s not to say, in the short term, it wouldn’t create employment.

In the near future Aboriginals will be able to sell, rent or lease land to companies, people and organizations of their choice within their territorial land.

I support the concept of shared borders.

True, a small ore mine could keep local people employed with minimal damage and, perhaps, within 20 years we will have feasible, cost-efficient technologies to do what Taseko claims could be done.

Perhaps this is what Harper meant that Taseko has to acknowledge the First Nations and the environmental concerns.

Pro-choice movements of 1850s and 1960s have same result Editor: The pro-life billboard in the rancher’s field on Highway 97 just north of Wildwood has again been replaced.

This is the third billboard.

The previous two have been vandalized and defaced.

The inconvenient truth it proclaims is: “Abortion stops a beating heart.”

We have passed from a patriarchal to a matriarchal society; this is one fact of life that “Big Sister” doesn’t want spoken.

A 66-year-old grandmother, Linda Gibbons, has spent 10 of the last 20 years in Canadian prisons for spreading this message in the bubble zones surrounding abortion clinics.

Two go in, one walks out.

Her conscience says someone should stand up the vulnerable and defenceless in our society.

In 1857, the pro-choice (ac-

Letters aLways weLcome

tual name) movement in the southern states passed the Dred Scott Law that designated a black man as a non person, thus, justifying slavery.

One hundred years later another pro-choice movement had the unborn baby designated a non person, justifying 100,000 abortions a year in Canada for the last 20 years.

The pro-choice movements in the 1850s and the 1960s have had the same result: the dehumanization of people and society.

In education planning we have the motto “No Child Left Behind.” The child in the womb is saying, “What about me? Can I be that child?”

We have a new educational awareness program for mammogram testing.

The phrase is: “Taking care of all the girls.”

The documentary book, Un-

natural Selection, Choosing Boys Over Girls, states there are 160 million missing girls in the world.

They were selected out of existence by ultrasound technology and abortion.

They were and are being aborted just because they are girls. This isn’t happening only in Asia.

Hospital birth records in our large Canadian centres where there is a higher population of cultures who value boys over girls are reporting disproportionate birth rates.

Abortion on demand plus ultrasound equals stopping little girls’ beating hearts.

In the feminist revolution the collateral damage has been to unborn babies and, paradoxically, more so to girls.

Tolko’s mill shutdown extends into third week As a result of planned capital projects, Tolko’s Lakeview mill in Williams Lake has experienced downtime in March and will continue into April, the company said Friday.

The sawmill shut down on March 14 and is anticipated to commence operations this week.

Tolko said the planer has continued to run during this time, however, it will take a two-week shutdown that started on April 7 to allow the rough inventory to build up again.

“The Lakeview sawmill capital project was scheduled for a five day turnaround,” said Ryan Oliver, Lakeview plant manager. “However due to unforeseen

delays, the sawmill will be down for approximately three weeks.”

Oliver said the delay has also contributed to the shutdown of the planer.

“We have notified employees of the interruption and have transferred many to our Soda Creek operation in order to minimize wage loss. The project team is working very hard to get everyone back to work as quickly as possible.”

Mark Stevens, general manager Cariboo, said the upgrades are essential to Tolko’s continued success in Williams Lake.

“They will substantially improve our cost effectiveness, product quality and value, positioning us to be competitive within the

lumber manufacturing industry for the long term,” Stevens said.

Tolko’s Soda Creek planer will also experience downtime in April.

While the sawmill will continue to oper-

ate, the Soda Creek planer operations will shut down on April 19 to complete capital upgrades, and restart is slated for May 5.

Tolko said the project is essential to ensure the long term

competitiveness of the mill and to allow for increased value extraction from the product once operational, thereby reducing the potential of layoffs in future market downturns.

Celebrate Vaisakhi and our Indo-Canadian diversity

Sras enjoy lakecity’s friendly hospitality Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Photos submitted

Pawandeep and Jagdish Sra are enjoying living and operating businesses in Williams Lake.

Jagdish Sra believes he has the best of both worlds.

The Williams Lake resident was born in North India in a rural village about three hours by car from the Golden Temple.

English was taught in the private school he attended, so when he arrived in Canada ready to go into Grade 9 at Lester B. Pearson School in Calgary, language wasn’t an issue.

“I often stop and think how amazing it is that I know two different ways of life,” he says.

When he was 18, 19 and 20, he counted himself as one of the only non-whites among the 250 youths his age in the town of Grand Forks, B.C. where he was living at the time.

“I had a great circle of friends, but I probably only spoke my language about two hours a day, which is why I don’t have an

Jagdish Sra at one of two Subway food stores in Williams Lake which he and his family own and operate.

accent today.”

In 2003, Sra returned to India to leisurely work for an uncle and, eventually, he was married to his wife, Pawandeep.

The couple’s first son, 10-year-old Sukhman, was born there.

After living in India for two years, Sra brought his wife and son to Canada to live.

Eventually the Sras decided to move to Williams Lake in May 2009 to take over Subway.

Today they operate two outlets in the city.

Their son Aikam, now five, was a month old when they arrived in the lakecity.

The Sras are members of the Gurdwara Western Singh Sabha Society, and like other members are busy preparing to celebrate Vaisakhi on April 13 at their temple, located on Pine Street.

“Bigger cities have a parade,” Sra explains.

“They are having one in Prince George in May. Back home in India we would have one too.”

To celebrate Vaisakhi in Williams Lake, many will wear orange and gather at the temple to enjoy some specialty foods — lots of sweets and certain types of beans cooked with different sauces.

In Williams Lake 50 per cent of the food is prepared by the men, Sra continues.

“Our priest will sing our history so that everyone can understand it, some is sung in English for the younger generation, and the younger generation do prayers.”

In preparation, Sukhman has been learning to play the harmonium so he can sing and participate in the celebration.

Vaisakhi celebrates the day Sikhism was born, Sra explains.

“Guru Gobind

Singh created the day.”

Normally around 50 people worship at the Gurdwara Western Singh Sabha Temple on any given Sunday, however, on April 13 Sra anticipates there will be more there because of Vaisakhi.

“People love the celebration,” he says.

The temple also broadcasts a radio station, airing music, spiritual lessons and history talks, 24 hours a day.

“It’s 94.3 FM. This is the only small city I have lived in and they have that.”

Both of his sons know the Punjabi language and Sukhman is fluent.

Because Sra’s parents live with them and they don’t speak English, the grandsons have had to learn the language to communicate with them.

Last week Sra boiled a batch of chai, using Red Rose tea, milk and spices for Sukhman to share with his classmates at Nesika elementary school.

“I just dropped it off, so I haven’t heard what they thought about it yet.”

The family loves living in Williams Lake because it is small and friendly, he explains.

“I know so many good people, I love it here. It’s very homey.”

Sukhman plays hockey and is going to give soccer a try.

Sra loves Banghra dancing and wishes it was happening regularly in Williams Lake.

“I’m pretty good,” he admits.

When asked why he doesn’t wear a turban, a smile lights up his face.

He cut his hair when he came to Canada, but plans to wear one again when he turns 55, he answers.

Celebrate Vaisakhi and our Indo-Canadian diversity

Sikh family passes on musical traditions Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Music plays an integral part in the devotional services of most religions around the world.

In the Sikh religion there are more than 4,000 holy songs, says Amerjit Shergill.

She says that about 1,400 of the traditional songs are contained in the pages of the Sikh holy book Guru Granth Sahib.

Amerjit learned the Sikh musical traditions from her father, the late Darshan Sing.

Her daughter, Harjit Shergill (she kept her own last name) learned the music working with both her mother and grandfather.

Now Harjit’s children, Priya, 9, and Mokam, 12, Mahil practice regularly with their grandmother and play periodically with other children and adults Guru Nanak and Gurdwara Western Singh Sabha temples in Williams Lake and at a temple in Quesnel. Traditionally Amerjit says the women play the Baja, a form of harmonium and the men play a drum called a Tabla.

The harmonium operates similarly to an accordion except that it is a box-style instru-

ment with the keyboard in front and the bellows in back. The left hand pumps the bellows while the right hand plays the keys.

Amerjit teaches Priya the Baja. Mokam studies the Tabla with a priest and his son in Quesnel where Amerjit and her husband, Harban, live.

Priya and Mokam learn their songs from a little book written in Punjabi.

The songs can be written in English but Amerjit is teaching them to read and learn the songs in the traditional Punjabi language.

The songs they are learning are holy songs called Shabad, which praise the Lord.

Harjit says she and her brothers were raised in the Sikh tradition, but their parents gave them the option of deciding at age 18 whether they wanted to be baptized.

She says she and her siblings chose not to become baptized because baptism can become limiting. However, she says two of her brothers carry on the Sikh traditions as if they were baptized.

She says baptized Sikhs never cut their hair and must pray in the morning and in the evening.

Baptized Sikhs also wear traditional Sikh dress which includes head coverings for both men and women, modest underwear, a circular bracelet, a small comb in the hair, and a sword or small dagger called a kirpan.

Young baptized girls and boys wear a scarf on their heads called a batka and women wear a head covering called a kaski, Amerjit says.

Baptized men and women also wear a traditional suit which includes pants and a long tunic.

Harjit says she never cut her hair until she was 18.

She decided not to become baptized because it would restrict

her work opportunities.

She has been working as an accountant for nine years and has one course left before becoming a registered Certified General Accountant.

Over the years she has worked in accounting for government and for School District 27.

Two years ago she took a job in private industry with Pinnacle Pellet, which she says is rounding out her accountancy skills.

She kept her own name when she married, and is working to make sure her children are also well rounded, which is why she is encouraging them to learn more about their

traditions as as well as enjoy a wide variety of activities.

Priya was in French immersion for the first couple of years of her schooling and is now in regular classes and taking gymnastics.

She is also very artistic and enjoys learning to knit, sew, and to cook traditional dishes such as samosas.

Over spring break Priya made a knitted doll. Last spring break she attended a Sikh camp in New Westminister where the children enjoyed a variety of crafts and sporting activities along with the teachings of Khalsa.

Mokam enjoys a wide variety of sports including basketball, volleyball, floor hock-

ey, soccer, and skiing.

As a family they also enjoy skiing, fishing with their First Nations friends and camping.

E-mail helps the family stay connected.

Each morning Harjit receives a prayer from her cousin called a Hukumnama which comes directly from the Golden Temple in India and serves as a spiritual guide for the day.

Because of her busy schedule, Harjit says she doesn’t usually see the prayer until the evening but she finds receiving them to be an uplifting experience, especially as the family is recovering from the recent loss of Harjit’s husband, Barinder Mahil, who passed away in January.

Her father in law Baldev Mahil and her parents are also providing the family with support during this period of grief.

Over spring break Harjit made a unique tribute wall to Barinder in their entrance using an old door.

Every time they hang up their coats the family sees pictures in the windows of the door which is hung sideways on the wall and features dozens of family pictures in the window spaces and loving mes-

sages to their lost husband, father, and son around the edges, with coat hooks along the bottom.

Harjit also takes a turn reading the Sikh holy book Guru Granth Sahib during the annual Vaisakhi Day celebrations which take place in April. She says the family has friends at both the Guru Nanak and Gurdwara Western Singh Sabha temples in Williams Lake and the temple in Quesnel.

Reading of the holy book starts on the Friday morning of the weekend the celebrations are planned and continues uninterrupted through until about noon on the Sunday morning.

Members of the congregation take turns reading for up to two hours at a time.

Harjit says reading the holy book is a bit like reading Shakespeare.

It takes a bit of study to understand everything that is being said and the reading is more expressive for her where she has more understanding.

She says experienced readers will also have a rhythmic lilt to their reading where the songs are located in the book.

Vaisakhi Day celebrations planned at lakecity temples The Guru Nanak Sikh Temple on Mackenzie Avenue, and the Gurdwara Western Singh Sabha Temple on Pine Street, in Williams Lake will be observing the annual Vaisakhi Day celebrations on different weekends this month.

Gurdwara Western Singh Sabha Temple celebrations will begin this Friday morning, April 11 and run through until about 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 13 followed by a community lunch.

The traditional cer-

emony to replace the old temple flag with a new flag and wash the flagpole takes place at 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 12.

The Guru Nanak Sikh Temple will celebrate Vaisakhi Day starting on Friday morning, April 25 and running through until about noon on Sunday, April 27.

The flag raising ceremony will be at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 26.

During the flag raising ceremonies formal tribute is paid to the

Panj Pyare or the Five Beloved Ones originally proclaimed by Guru Gobind Singh to represent the embodiment of the Guru himself.

During the three days of celebration congregation members take turns reading the Sikh holy book called Guru Granth Sahib so that there is a continuous reading of the teachings.

Baisakhi Day or Vaisakhi Day of March 30, 1699 is of significant importance for the Sikhs. It was on this day that

Guru Gobind Singh - the Tenth Guru of the Sikhs founded the Akal Khalsa (Community of the Pure) at a ceremony organized at Keshgarh Sahib near Anandpur.

The Akal Khalsa played a significant role in resistance against Mughal rule.

Every year on April 13, Sikhs celebrate with great ceremony the birth of the Khalsa Panth. Apart from fighting political tyranny, Guru Gobind also sought to eliminate social discrimina-

tions in the name of caste with the establishment of Khalsa Panth.

The Panj Piyaras set by the Guru amalgamated people of low and high caste into one as it consisted of people of different strata of the society.

To further do away with the system of caste discrimination all Sikh men were given the name Singh (Lion) and all women were given the name Kaur (princess).

The Guru Gobind Singh also gave his new

Khalsa a unique, indisputable, and distinct identity; bana, the distinct Sikh clothing and headwear, along with five emblems of purity and courage.

These symbols, worn by baptized Sikhs of

both sexes, today, are popularly know as the Five Ks: Kesh, unshorn hair; Kangha, the wooden comb; Karra, the iron (or steel) bracelet; Kirpan, sword; Kachera, modest underwear.

On the Cover Pictured on the cover of this supplement, Page A9 are Sikh leaders representing the Five Beloved Ones during the Vaisakhi Day celebrations held in Williams Lake last year.

Minister Yamamoto meets with ferry supporters Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The fight to save the Discovery Coast Ferry is not going away, say tourism operators in the Cariboo-Chilcotin Coast.

“This is not the right decision, economically or for the region as far as access,” said Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association CEO Amy Thacker.

Along with Save the Discovery Coast — the group working to save the ferry — CCCTA says the route can be profitable if it’s run properly.

“In the meantime, 2014 is lost. Hopefully, working with government, we can come up with some mitigation and compensation to support the industry through this transition time,” Thacker said.

Minister of State for Small Business Naomi Yamamoto met with board members in Williams Lake to hear concerns from regional tourism operators.

“This meeting was an important step to discuss the future of tourism industry in the region,” Yamamoto said, adding she will visit Bella Coola and Anahim Lake to meet with tourism operators to continue the dialogue.

Anahim Lake tourism operator Petrus Rykes said the Discovery Coast ferry cancellation has given the region a “black eye” internationally.

“Some of the European tourism operators will have nothing to do with BC Ferries anymore. They had a partnership with tourism and ferries and that was cut off midstream,” Rykes said.

The cancellation of the ferry is a blow to First Nations communities said tourism and community development consultant and CCCTA board member, Cheryl Chapman.

Since the mid 1990s she has encouraged communities to work on developing tourism opportunities that tie into the Discovery Coast Ferry route and to realize what they can present to the world.

“We saw the success of the Four Host First

Nations involvement with the 2010 Olympic Games and the legacy of Aboriginal Tourism,” Chapman said.

Communities have worked hard to develop tourism strategies that rely on the ferry and now the main highway

access to some of those communities is gone, Chapman said, adding she wouldn’t want to travel on the Nimpk-

ish and wouldn’t want anyone else to because it’s not safe.

“I guess that’s the mother in me.”

Support crucial to concussion recovery Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Most people don’t consider a concussion a brain injury.

“When it comes to terminology, the word concussion is more acceptable because it sounds sexy,” said Courtney Mailhot executive director of the Caribou Brain Injury Society.

Last week Mailhot presented a copy of Colleen Butler’s book, Concussion Recovery: Rebuilding the Injured Brain to the City of Williams Lake.

Butler was in Williams Lake recently giving a workshop to clients, caregivers and professionals dealing with brain injuries.

She left copies of the book for the library and the city.

Mayor Kerry Cook accepted the book on behalf of the city and asked Mailhot if there is more visibility or awareness around the seriousness of concussions than there has been in the past.

“I think hockey player Sidney Crosby’s concussion was big news and that’s helped,” Mailhot said.

Cook said her three children played hockey and soccer and there were many visits to the emergency ward at the hospital for concussions.

Mailhot’s spouse has had seven concussions.

It is harder to recover the more you have, she’s observed.

“It’s known as the invisible disability.”

A person is never cured from a brain injury, but can relearn, recover and learn tools to help them deal with it.

The brain has thousands of neurons.

When one or some are damaged, the brain has to take a detour.

“Think of a traffic jam,” Mailhot used as an example. “It takes

Presently Mailhot has 25 to 35 clients recovering from a concussion and that

doesn’t include the clients who have been discharged.

She sees more than 100 people annually with concussions, and

she only works with people between the ages of 19 and 65.

In fact she’s been pushing to work with people past the age of 65 because there are “really no services locally.”

The Caribou Brain Injury Society is under the umbrella of Interior Health and IH is giving Mailhot permission to work with people over 65 on a client-by-client basis.

Anyone under 19 is referred to Vancouver, she explained, adding children can recover from brain injuries faster than older people.

Mailhot has been with the society for two years and took over as executive director a year ago in December.

She visits schools in the region to give presentations.

She

also regularly sets up information booths at grocery stores and the Children’s Festival because the number one cause of concussions in children is falling from a shopping cart.

Butler is the founder of Brain Navigators.com and has first-hand experience recovering from a brain injury.

“Concussion Recovery, Rebuilding the Injured Brain’ is a road map for recovery, helping the concussed rebuild their lives, recover more quickly, with less stress and frustration,” Butler said of her book recently.

“Its unique advantage is that it considers the recovery journey from all aspects and is written from the inside out, with depth and understanding.”

VISION AND HEARING

Your Preschooler and… Vision and Hearing Hearing and vision will be an important part of your child’s learning when they go to school. Good vision helps a child see and understand what is happening around them. Actions like reaching, running, catching and balancing all involve skill in eye-hand coordination.

Watch for signs that your child may have an eye problem and see your family doctor or optometrist if you are concerned.

Good hearing is important for speech and language development. Children who have trouble hearing fi nd learning to read more diffi cult. By age three your child will hear and understand most of what is said and will listen to stories and can answer questions. Watch for signs that your child may have trouble hearing. See your family doctor if you are concerned. Some ways to protect your child’s hearing are to keep your child in a smoke-free environment as smoke causes increased ear infections, and when cleaning the ears, don’t use cotton swabs or anything in the ear canal.

Signs that your child may have an eye problem are: • holding objects very closely; • avoiding picture books, puzzles or other near distance activities; • tilting the head, using an unusual posture or covering one eye when looking at something; • too much blinking, squinting or eye rubbing; • complaining of headaches; • drooping upper eyelids or eyes turned in or out; • red, burning, itchy eyes; • trouble catching, building, balancing or doing other eye-hand coordination activities.

Signs that your child may have trouble hearing are: • regular ear infections; • not responding to sound well, or responding better when speech is loud; • having trouble telling where sounds are coming from; • developing speech late.

A Step Ahead Free Mountain Bike Shuttles in July “Free shuttles, every weekend, all of July.” These words, a dream to any mountain biker, are absolutely true in Williams Lake for July 2014. The City of Williams Lake, in partnership with the Cariboo Regional District and the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium, is initiating a pilot project of free mountain bike shuttles, to commence on July 5th and continue each Saturday and Sunday, all month long.

Free shuttles, a draw to any down-hill and gravity mountain biker, offer the opportunity to broaden the tourism experience and showcase the extent of the Williams Lake trail network. During weekends in July, the bike shuttles will pick up and drop off riders at designated trail network locations.

If you spend any time in one of the local bike shops during the summer months you will quickly hear requests for shuttling services.

Final details of the weekend schedules will be determined, but the shuttles will follow a strict schedule running each hour between 10:00am and 6:00pm each Saturday and Sunday in July. All riders utilizing the shuttles will be required to sign a waiver and fill out a questionnaire. Since this initiative is partially designed to attract mountain bike tourists, 25% of the seats will be reserved for out of town visitors, but these will be released to locals if not required on each shuttle run. Detailed information about the shuttles will be available at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, Red Shreds, Barking Spider and the Tourism Discovery Centre in early June.

Try some of these with your preschooler: 1. Play games such as throwing and catching a ball and balancing or building blocks to help develop eye-hand coordination.

2. Show how important it is to protect the eyes to avoid eye injuries. Model using eye protection around dangerous materials or equipment. Store poisons out of reach of your child to help prevent eye injuries.

3. Sunglasses are recommended for children, as well as adults. Be sure they offer 99-100% UVA and UVB protection.

4. Show your child the proper way to handle sharp objects like toys with pointed ends. Provide simple rules for your child, such as, “We walk, not run, when we have sharp objects in our hands.” If possible, provide children’s blunt scissors for your child to use instead of sharp ones.

5. Talk, sing and read to your child — enjoy playing with sounds — all the activities listed on page 3.

6. Washing hands well helps to prevent ear infections.

Show your preschoolers how to take care of their health by washing their hands with soap and warm water. This will help when they are ready to go to school.

7. Show your child ways to protect his or her hearing by avoiding loud sounds, or wearing ear protection when around loud sounds, including loud music.

Contact your local school or 250-398-3839 for more information on this program for preschoolers & their parent/caregiver.

TRU Grit gala sparkles for student scholarships Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The figures are not finalized yet but the Let’s Go Gatsby fundraiser for Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake is expected to top $28,000, says event co-ordinator Sally Nairn.

She says 200 people attended the gala and when the final figures come in from TRU Kamloops she expects the fundraiser will have raised even more than her estimate.

“It amazes me how generous the people in Williams Lake are,” Nairn says. “They give and give and give, especially when our children are involved.

“The young people of Williams Lake are the future of Williams Lake.”

TRU Grit foundation chair Brian Garland is equally thrilled with the fundraiser.

“I have great gratitude for the volunteers and the community for supporting the gala and for the generosity of the local businesses for their donations to the live and silent auctions,” Garland says. “Sally Nairn and her committee did a fabulous job of organizing the gala this year.”

All of the funds raised at the $120-a-plate dinner, dance and auction will go toward providing scholarships for students who attend university at TRU’s Williams Lake campus.

TRU Grit is a group of about 20 local business people who came together three years ago to work on ways to build enrolment at TRU in Williams Lake.

They recognized that having a thriving university in the community with lots of students would go a long way toward providing economic stability for the community, Garland says.

For the past three years TRU Grit’s main fundraiser of the year has been the annual gala but Garland says the group is also busy on many fronts raising funds for scholarships and helping to support the university in other ways.

Last year he says TRU Grit gave out $50,000 in scholarships to 22 students attending TRU in Williams Lake. The smallest scholarship was $2,000 and the largest was $5,000.

“Many of the scholarship recipients might have gone to other schools or may not have been able to afford school at all,” Garland says.

Nairn adds: “There are 22 students attending TRU Williams Lake who are benefitting from scholarships and bursaries that are a direct result of the first two galas. We will be able to help another 14 students at least, from

TRU’s Williams Lake campus manager Dr. Ray Sanders is equally thrilled with the TRU Grit’s efforts to support the university.

“Private support for the university is extremely important.

Funding for bursaries and scholarships makes a difference in whether or not some can attend university,” Sanders says. “We

are grateful to TRU Grit and the larger community.”

Garland says the TRU Grit’s immediate goal is to build up the student population by awarding scholarships that help students to start their higher education in Williams Lake where costs are more affordable than larger centres and encourage other students to pursue higher education who might not have thought they could.

He says TRU Grit also supports the university’s efforts to develop the international student population at the university. One of the things international students currently need is adequate housing where they can be together, Garland says.

He says the TRU Grit group is also actively working with the university to promote programs that will raise the profile of the local campus and bring more students to the community including international students.

He says the Kamloops campus has 1,400 international students and TRU Grit would like to see more international students attending TRU in Williams Lake.

“We have a cohort of at least 10 international students for September in the Practical Nursing program,” Sanders says. “We are recruiting worldwide for more.

TRU World is planning to send more to Williams Lake.”

Garland says that one of the challenges for the international students is finding adequate housing. He says the international students would prefer to live together in a housing complex so TRU Grit is also helping to explore options to make that happen.

Nairn says it was an honour and privilege to chair the third annual Williams Lake TRU Grit gala. “Now we need to think of a theme that will be even better than “Let’s Go Gatsby!”

Burt’s Buzz wraps film club matinees Krista Liebe Special to Tribune/Advisor We will be showing our last matinée for this season on Saturday, April 12.

Burt’s Buzz will be shown at the Gibraltar Room at 2 p.m. Back doors open at 1:30 p.m. Admission is $5 each, kids under 12 are free.

I have not had a chance to see this documentary as it is very hard to get.

So I have to rely on what I have been sent by the Toronto International Film Festival.

Burt’s Buzz at the Gibraltar Room Saturday afternoon.

sat down with Marlow Stern at TIFF to discuss Burt’s journey, and how he was screwed out of the company fortune.

You have seen Burt Shavitz before. The bounteous beard, the tilted cap, the soulful eyes.

Products bearing his iconic image have graced the lips, hair, and faces of millions of men and women across the world.

But the septuagenarian co-founder of Burt’s Bees, the ecofriendly personal care products company, isn’t too keen on seeing you.

“A good day is when no one shows up and you don’t have to go anywhere,” he says.

Burt is a paragon of rustic. He spends his days shacked up in a 400-square-foot converted turkey coop in the backwoods of Maine.

Lillian Olafson remembered It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mom, grandma, greatgrandma and soon to be great, great-grandma.

Lillian Rosina Olafson was born Jan. 10, 1926 in Edam, Sask.

Lillian was the eldest child born to Gerald and Jessie (Foulds) Ferris. She was big sister to younger siblings Doreen and Lawrence.

Lillian was raised on the farm in Vawn, Sask., by her father and grandma after the passing of her mother.

On a sunny spring day in May, 1937, Lillian along with her father, siblings and cousin Violet left the farm and headed west to B.C. where they eventually settled in the Cariboo.

Lillian attended school in the little red school house now located along Highway 97 at 150 Mile House.

In 1945 Lillian married the love of her life, William “Bill” Olafson, a union that would last nearly 61 years.

Lillian loved the simple things in life and took life as it came. She spent many hours knitting socks, mitts, afghans, tending her vegetable and flower gardens, canning, picking wild berries and socializing at the many local dances that she and Bill attended.

Lillian loved living in the Cariboo, especially Marguerite. Lil-

Lillian Olafson lian and Bill moved to Prince George in 1990 where they lived until approximately 1999, when they relocated to the warmer climate of

Okanagan Falls, B.C. After Bill’s passing in 2006, Lillian moved to Abbotsford B.C. where she resided until her passing.

Lillian passed away on Wednesday, March 26, 2014 with family at her side.

She was laid to rest beside her Bill, March 31, 2014 in the Okanagan Falls Municipal Cemetery, Okanagan Falls, B.C. Rest in peace sweet lady. Your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will miss you dearly. xox.

He doesn’t own a television and, ever since his water heater broke years ago, heats water on a wood stove.

Now, the accidental entrepreneur is getting the documentary treatment in Jody Shapiro’s film Burt’s Buzz, which made its world premiere at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.

The film traces Burt’s journey from wayward hippie-news photographer in the 60s to cofounder of a multimillion dollar company, and his current gig as brand ambassador for the company he was forced out of.

“He’s like Colonel Sanders, you know?” says his assistant, Trevor, in the film. “And to him, he just does not

understand that.”

Burt was born in Great Neck, New York. Since following in his father’s footsteps as a factory worker was of no interest to him, Burt took to photography, snapping pictures of “bums on the Bowery,” as he puts it. He was eventually hired as a staff photographer for a Jewish weekly and then, after they purchased some of his photographs, acquired a press pass for Time.

He worked as a freelancer for publications like The New York Times and Life, photographing anti-war rallies, pollution, and popular figures of the period like Malcolm X, John F. Kennedy, and Allen Ginsberg.

Forum Monday to explore proposed forestry changes Keeping our forests public and sustainable is the focus of a forum coming up in Williams Lake next week.

Anthony Britneff, a retired Registered Professional Forester and policy analyst, and Vicky Husband, a noted conservationist, will be guest speakers at the April 14 meeting which is sponsored by the Council of Canadians, Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society, Williams Lake Field Naturalists, Stand Up For the North (SUFN), and local forestry workers represented by the United Steelworkers Local 425.

“The provincial government is seeking public input on possible changes to the way forest companies harvest timber on Crown land so the United Steelworkers are working with these other groups so that everyone understands both sides of the issue,” says Local 425 president Paul French.

Forestry has been a mainstay of the B.C. economy for more than a century and the forum organizers believe it can continue to do so.

Residents are invited to participate in the meeting to have their

say on how to move forestry forward in the province. The forum will be held at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre on Monday, April 14, starting at 7 p.m.

Unlike mining or LNG, forestry is a renewable resource, organizers say.

The forum will focus on the need for a forest tenure and licensing system that works for all sectors of the forest industry and all British Columbians, and the need to bring our forests back to health and sustainability.

Britneff and Husband are well versed in forestry issues and bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the forum.

Britneff has had a 40-year career with the BC Forest Service in most areas of the province, holding senior professional positions in forest inventory, strategic planning, sil• • • • • •

viculture, and forest health.

Husband has worked on forest protection and management issues in B.C. for more than 30 years, including land use planning, wildlife and fishery issues, and the creation of protected areas.

She has received numerous awards for her work, including the Order of Canada and the Order of BC. The two will be speaking at forums organized by SFUN in Prince George and Mackenzie before coming to Williams Lake.

SUFN is a grass roots organization based in Prince George, made up of volunteers from the business, labour, First Nations, education and community sectors.

Author and columnist Peter Ewart will represent the group at Monday’s meeting.

Her short stories have been published throughout North America and Europe.

In 2012, Kool-Aid and Cariboo Stew was launched.

The book is a collection of creative nonfiction writings about

the family’s experiences as new Canadians living on a remote rural property, where they accumulated a yard full of goats and pigs before building a fence, and had children before running water, and other comical situations.

When Verena is not writing, she likes talking about it.

Her entertaining

Cariboo Memorial Complex

Peel Out to change formats Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Some big changes are coming to next month’s annual Peel Out Mountain Bike Festival.

That’s the message from the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium and the Williams Lake Cycling Club following the recent closure of the lower portion of trails and finish area on the Fox Mountain Trail Network.

The closure, announced in March, is due to concerns of private landowners’ in the area, where the finish line has been situated since the event’s inauguration four years ago.

As a result the biggest change to the race will be to the Peel Out Downhill, held on the first day of the two-day event, said Justin Calof, executive director with the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium.

“This year we will be holding the Outlaw Invitational DH,” Calof said. “We’ve examined the top finishers from a selection of categories over the past four years of racing. These top finishers will be invited to participate in the Outlaw Invitational.”

A list of eligible participants is listed on www.ridethecariboo.

Calof said signup is limited to 50 spots, and will be prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, the CMBC plans to host a Facebook contest for an additional 10 wildcard spots. Details for the contest, Calof said, will be announced shortly.

“The course will be kept secret until a few days before the race, but it will be steep, gnarly and more like a world cup track,” Calof said.

On Sunday, May 18, both the Super Enduro and the Boitanio Bike Park Jam take centre stage.

“Sunday’s going to be awesome in the bike park,” he said, adding the city and the CMBC

have been working together on maintenance and upgrades to the park. “We’ll have a barbecue, music, so a lot of kids are going to be stoked just about that in itself.

“The city’s been really good. They’ve supported a pretty big-time maintenance regime, we’ve kind of rebuilt the park and we’re just about to fire up more maintenance to finish up the pump track, things like that, and they’re going to try to build a dual slalom track.”

The Super Enduro — normally held on the Westsyde Trail Network — will be a timed, three-stage race on Fox Mountain, expected to take close to five hours to complete.

“Fortunately we’re blessed with a really great trail network so we had lots of options [to change the format],” Calof said.

Following the Super Enduro riders and the community are invited to the Boitanio Bike Park for the barbecue and awards. Sign up for the Super Enduro is due by May 1.

Sunday night the Peel Out party takes place at the Limelight featuring Vancouver band Redeye Empire.

On Monday shuttled and guided rides will take place throughout the city.

Race and event details are also available at www.ridethecariboo.ca/ events/peelout.

The 2014 Peel Out goes from May 17-19.

This event is Free to enter and focuses of children under 10 years of age. All children must be accompanied by an adult. This event provides an opportunity to try stick barrel racing, dummy roping, bucking bull barrels, bean bag toss, coloring, meet the clown and much more.

Locals selected for BC Cup More than 130 of the best hockey players from Northern B.C. and the Yukon converged in Vanderhoof last weekend to take a shot at being named to the under-16 BC Cup roster.

Prior to the camp players were told only 20 players — 12 for-

wards, six defence and two goalies — would advance to the BC Cup creating fierce competition throughout the weekend.

Out of the 20 available spots tier two bantam Williams Lake Timberwolves filled four. Landon Fuller, William Paynton, Trey

Thomas and Corey Loring were all successful in moving forward.

During the camp players were randomly split into four teams with each team playing multiple games against each other while being watched by a team of 16 evaluators.

At the end of the weekend each individual player was called into a meeting with the team of evaluators and was given an overview of their performance during the camp while team selections were made.

The four Timberwolves will now head

to the 2014 BC Cup in Salmon Arm from April 17-20 where they will compete against the best players from across B.C. for a chance to be named to Team BC, which will represent the province at the 2015 Canada Winter games in Prince George.

ing a soccer school of excellence with a European football fitness philosophy and a well-structured program of technical skills.

Saibo, along with his son, Amir Talic, coach Steve September and guest coaches from Europe, will help players looking to improve their game through multiple h i g h ly - m o t ivat i n g , fast-paced sessions.

The relationship between the Williams Lake Youth Soccer

Association and the EFS has also helped many players reach the next level.

In the past WLYSA players have been invited by Talic to play with the EFS in college showcase tournaments in the U.S. and in international tournaments in Europe.

Camp times throughout the week are as follows: • Ages seven to 12 — 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

• Ages 13 to 19 — 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

• Goalie Camp —

10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

• Friday times to be announced • Rep team camps are available with a minimum of 12 participants per rep team

Welcome to the driver’s seat

If you have ever questioned that Kia knows how to make good quality cars just look at these new products.

Kia taking on the small cars from the big guys

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA – Kia rounds out its attack on the country’s best-selling cars with the launch of the final two models to the Forte lineup.

Last year Kia introduced their all-new Forte sedan to compete with such top sellers as the Honda Civic, Mazda3, Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra. This week, the 5-door hatchback version called Forte5 and the coupe, called Forte Koup begin arriving in dealerships.

The launch of these two vehicles took us from Huntington Beach, California, through the mountains and desert to Borrego Springs and then back through the mountains to San Diego.

The terrain varies from massive California highways to very twisty mountain passes and vast desert valleys. Stunning scenery and a recommended drive for any sightseer or driving enthusiast.

Looks The Forte5 is the more practical of the two new Kias with a hatchback design that sets it apart from the competition. Many competitors don’t offer a hatch so this is sure to be noticed by people who need extra storage and passenger room. Sold with a new base 2.0L engine or an optional 1.6L turbo engine, there are varied looks depending on which trim is chosen. The non-turbo Forte5 gets a front grille similar to the sedan with a smaller lower intake and a larger grille opening. The Forte5 SX turbo gets the same grille as the Koup, with the opposite

front treatment, a bigger lower opening and a injection engine with a solid 201hp and 195 lb.smaller, more aggressive grille. The great news ft. of torque that comes on at a very low 1750 is that all Forte5 and Koup models come with RPM. The turbo also gets a stiffer suspension, alloy wheels; 16-inches on the Forte5 and 18bigger wheels, sharper steering feel and shorter inch alloys on the turbo version. The Koup has gear ratios from first to third gear. This makes 17-inch base alloys or 18-inches on the turbo. the car livelier and handles better but it also Inside makes the car a bit twitchy on the highway I drove the top Turbo version of the Forte5 and when driving straight. the base, non-turbo version of the The base 2.0L would be my choice.

Dart GT could be edgier but delivers style

By Alexandra Straub

The Dodge Dart has held its own in a sporty compact segment where competition is fierce.

Perhaps it is because of its value, the various engine choices or that it has some pretty cool features (like available under-the-frontseat-cushion storage) and a fresh style – inside and out – the Dart seems to be a hit.

Two years in, Chrysler has loaded it up with an engine full of gusto, unique styling cues and added a couple of letters on the back and now we have the Dodge Dart GT. What sets it apart from its siblings are a stretcheddown grille and LED headlights. You’ll find the rear clad with the ‘Racetrack’ LED lights that run the full length of the trunk.

Then there’s a set of 18-inch wheels come standard on this vehicle along with a 2.4L, MultiAir, 4-cylinder Tigershark engine, matched with a 6-speed manual transmission, that brings to the pavement 184 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque.

Of all the characteristics I like about this trim of Dart, I think its transmission is the weakest link. In previous reviews of other Dart models – like the 1.4L, Turbocharged version with 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque – the gear throws are, in my opinion, too long to really give it that edge and sporty vibe that it needs to compete with vehicles like the VW GTI, Honda Civic Si or even the Ford Focus ST. The gear throws are long and the clutch has little weight to it, taking away the performance aspect of the GT that it should have.

On the flip side, the light clutch works favourably in the urban environment. This setup makes being stuck in traffic bearable.

Getting back to the gearbox, I really wanted to like the Dart more. I really did. So I concocted scenarios in my mind to figure out a way to not be so sad about its lack

Whether taking the GT for a drive in the city or on the open road, it does have some solid legs to stand on.

of panache.

I think I found one. Buyers of the GT will like what they get for the value.

After all, it has a starting MSRP of $21,995. That’s thousands less than the aforementioned competitors.

And some buyers of vehicles

who want that extra kick don’t necessarily need all the sports sedan-like characteristics. They want power but in a comfortable and affordable package.

Furthermore, they enjoy added touches like a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, GT specific sport leather seats, a Parkview rear backup camera and more.

The interior has a pleasant look to it and it’s very agreeable to drive.

On the highway, special attention from designers and engineers were paid to make sure you drive in a quiet cabin.

Minimal road noise entered the GT’s cabin, allowing my passengers and I to enjoy the musical stylings of various bands being listened to on the Alpine premium stereo

The Dodge Dart GT. ALEXANDRA STRAUB system with nine speakers (an additional $1,295 for this sun and sound package.) The sun portion of the package adds a power express open/ close sunroof to the mix.

After I switched into this mindset, I found I was able to alleviate my frustrations of what the GT didn’t have, but what it did have.

Additionally, a feature that I love about the Dart – and all

other Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler products – is the Uconnect media interface. The GT comes standard with the 8.4-inch touchscreen and is a dream to work with. Large icons, easy prompts and a

no-fuss approach to pairing your handheld device to the Bluetooth system all come standard.

some solid legs to stand on.

Visit www.dodge.ca for more information.

Noodling on the web one morning I found out that I was selling vehicles illegally. If I was in the business of selling, I need to be licensed as a dealer.

Oh well. Everything’s been working out just fine for me. I skated through those recent bad deals.

My previous sales were a distant memory – I was eager to start selling more. So, I decided to up my game a bit. I got a low-end truck and a car from an auction and another car from a new parking lot friend.

I put ads for all three vehicles on Craigslist.

Of course my ads said they were all real gems.

You’d think people might see through my ads.

“Need to sell fast, so price is flexible. Call with best offer.”

And my cell number was the same for all three. Would anybody notice?

The first two cheaper vehicles sold quickly.

The last one took a bit longer to sell. Of course, it was the one I was most eager to sell. Why, you ask?

Well, not that I passed the information along, but the auction provided vehicle history reports for the first two. I had no information on the last.

So, I bought ICBC and CarProof vehicle history reports. I wanted to educate myself. To my surprise, there was a statement in both reports that the vehicle was possibly “stolen*.”

I knew I had to sell it fast.

I mean, I’d paid for it and I knew my new “friend” wouldn’t take it back.

Four days later, I got a call from a young

“Apart from being stolen, it was pretty nice!” woman. She asked if the car would fit a family of four. “Definitely!” I practically screamed.

I was a wreck during this sale. I just needed to get rid of this car – fast. I told the nice lady the details of the car. Apart from being stolen, it was pretty nice!

I told her I was in a hurry to visit my mum in the hospital. She was in a hurry too – her three-year-old was anxious, pulling at her pant legs. She seemed to not want to be there as much as me.

Finally, she agreed to buy the car. Phew! I was saved.

Whatever happens next, I don’t care. It’s her problem not mine.

I quickly changed my phone number (again).

Weeks later, I saw her on the news – with kid still at pant legs – talking to a reporter.

Apparently, the car was towed away by the police.

And yes, she was trying to find me.

Had I covered my tracks? I agonized.

*How can a stolen vehicle be sold?

Curbers often break the law by bridging a title. Instead of registering a vehicle in their name within 10 days after a purchase, as required, they leave it in the name of the previous owner. This keeps their name out of the chain of title and from being caught with a stolen vehicle or one that would not be able to be registered or insured for another reason.

Tundra set to tackle Trans-Labrador Highway Toyota’s truck history is more than 80 years rich, and Toyota trucks have endured the most challenging terrain and weather conditions around the world for just as long.

The Toyota Tundra is the latest example of this kind of endurance: built, designed and engineered in North America, it has even towed the 300,000-pound space shuttle Endeavour.

And starting today, the redesigned 2014 Tundra along with a 2007 Tundra will take on one of the most challenging journeys yet: the Trans-Labrador Highway.

Two Canadian automotive journalists were challenged to drive one of the most extreme roads to put the Tundra to the test, so they decided that one of the best examples of that is the Trans-Labrador Highway.

Running from the Québec-Labrador boundary through to Goose Bay, NF, the last section of the Trans-Labrador Highway was only completed in 2010. With mile after mile of dense wilderness, few road services and communities, the 549 km stretch of highway is truly isolated.

And this time of year road travelers are warned of extreme road weather conditions.

So is the Tundra up to this challenging epic journey?

With a stunning, bold and chiselled new design inside and out, a proven 5.7-litre DOHC i-Force V8 that

generates 381 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 401 ft-lbs of torque at 3,600 rpm, the 2014 Toyota Tundra full size pickup is ready to take on the Trans-Labrador Highway. And as if that wasn’t enough, Elmer and Descarries, plus their 2 crew will also travel with a 2007 Toyota Tundra Double Cab 5.7L with over 100,000 km ready to test the long term quality, durability and reliability of the Toyota Tundra.

From towing, to payloading over treacherous icy roads, the trucks and crew have 9 days to travel from Toronto to Corner Brook, Newfoundland.

“As creator of the Canadian Truck King Challenge I always test trucks in the places and on the same roads that everyday Canadians drive,” said Howard Elmer, veteran truck journalist. “That’s what I told Toyota when they asked where a good place to try out the newest Tundra would be. They said, ’well what’s a tough test?’ I said ‘let’s do the Trans-Labrador highway in late winter - dragging a trailer!’ They said: ‘Let’s do it!’ But, then I figured I’d push them even further.

I challenged them to get me a used 2007 Tundra to run the same route as the new truck. They stepped up. Now let’s see what happens!’’

“Here is a unique opportunity to go through an extreme adventure on wheels in one of the world’s

lesser-known wild frontiers,” said Éric Descarries, Québec-based truck writer and NASCAR expert.

“The Trans-Labrador Highway is one of the toughest roads in the world, and a challenging task for any vehicle and driver,” said Larry Hutchinson, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc. “We are excited that Howard Elmer and Éric Descarries are giving the redesigned North American designed, built and engineered 2014 Toyota Tundra (along with a 2007 Tundra) the opportunity to take on this challenge.”

The journey began April 2.

• Day one: START Toronto to Montreal = 544 kilometres • Day two: Montreal to Baie Comeau = 667 km • Day three: Baie Comeau to Labrador City = 570 km • Day four: Labrador City to Churchill Falls = 246 km • Day five: Churchill Falls to Cartwright = 694 km • Day six: Cartwright to Port Hope Simpson = 200 km • Day seven: Port Hope Simpson to Blanc Sablon = 217 km • Day eight: Ferry voyage to Corner Brook = 12 hours • Day nine: FINISH Total - 3,138 km (75kmh) = 42 hour driving time.
