Members of the Williams Lake Fire Department respond to a suspicious fire along Woodland Drive Saturday evening. WLFD crews were busy putting out several human-caused grass fires on the weekend, including a larger fire behind the golf course Saturday at about 6 p.m. a trail leading to Chilcotin Road Elementary School.

Webster said the Woodland Drive fires are suspicious, noting the fire behind Tolko may have been set by sparks from dirt bikers riding along the wellused trails.

The WLFD also responded to two vehicle incidents as well as two more small fires Sunday.

Just south of town Sunday, the 150 Mile Fire Department was also kept busy.

Fire chief Stan McCarthy said he and around 20 crew members responded to a fire at Sugar Cane Reserve with four trucks, along with a pumper truck from the Miocene Fire

Monica Lamb-Yorski and Angie Mindus Staff Writers Humans were to blame for several grass fires in and around the city, keeping fire crews busy on the weekend.

Fire chief Des Webster said members of the Williams Lake Fire Department (WLFD) were called to a grass fire at 1:24 p.m. Saturday along the Mackenzie connector where it is believed a downed power line near West Fraser’s property caused a fire.

After the connector fire was put out, crews also responded to several false commercial fire alarms before attending the largest and most threatening fire of the weekend; that being the late afternoon grass fire behind the golf course and Tolko’s Lakeview log yard.

“We don’t know what caused that fire,” said Webster, whose crews were able to get into the area through Tolko’s yard and extinguish the fast-moving blaze before it got into the nearby forests.

About three hours later, at about 9 p.m., WLFD crews responded to another fire call at Woodland Drive where three more grass fires had to be extinguished –– two along Woodland Drive in the ditch and one at the head of

Crews responded at 2:30 p.m. to two fires near the community gym where four homes were close by, as well as a larger grass fire later burning north toward the Pioneer Log Home site.

McCarthy said Sugar Cane has its own volunteer fire department,

but right now is without a pumper truck.

“A new truck will arrive at the beginning of June,” he said. “The old one was from 1982 and died of old age.”

The 150 Mile Fire Department provides fire protection for structures at the reserve.

Williams Lake RCMP said the 59-year-old Williams Lake man was found

Saturday grass fire keeps crews busy

non-responsive on a trail between the Coast Fraser Inn and the First Baptist Church at 10 a.m.

The B.C. Coroners service attended the scene and is investigating the death.

Telus service lost Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A Telus outage Sunday evening until Monday morning is being blamed on a tree that fell onto a wireless cable near Salmon Arm Sunday afternoon.

Hundreds of Telus customers in Northern B.C., including the Williams Lake area, lost wireless service overnight.

“We got crews on scene with equipment

immediately, with big lights and all that so they could work through the night,” Telus communications Liz Sauvé said Monday.

Once crews discovered the severed cable and began its “complicated” repair, services were re-routed to other paths to restore wireless service to a number of customers.

“Everyone was fully restored by 4 a.m.

Monday morning,” Sauvé said.

Changes coming to Agricultural Land Commission MLA Barnett says changes to act would be for the better Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer There’s good and bad non-agricultural reserve land, said Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett of her government’s wish to change the Agricultural Land Commission Act. “Critical lands like our grasslands have to be protected, but where there’s no water and no irrigation and you cannot grow anything, then people should be able to do something else with that land,” Barnett said.

Presently the gov-

Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett ernment is trying to establish two zones in B.C. One zone would be for prime agricultural land under pressure by urban growth.

The other for areas

with shorter growing seasons with less arable land.

While changes to the act continued to be debated in the legislature, Barnett has heard concerns from ranchers about regional boards.

“They want to make sure that whoever is on these boards has knowledge of the agricultural industry, not just whether it’s a proper soil type or whatever. When the boards are looking at applications they need to make sure they are impeding the agricultural industry.”

Critics, however, are

concerned the changes will jeopardize agriculture by allowing for industrial activity, such as oil and gas, or development.

Former MLA Joan Sawicki of the Bella Coola Valley worked at the Land Commission during its formative years from 1973 to 1981 and is currently a land-use consultant.

After listening to all the government’s rationalizations, she said she is convinced the changes to the act are not about helping farmers farm.

“This is the same government that has

cut the ministry of agriculture’s budget so there aren’t extension people going out to help farmers make the business decisions they need to make,” Sawicki said.

The Agriculture Land Commission is independent and has a clear mandate to protect farm land, she continued.

On the short-term economics agricultural land is never going to be able to hold its own against higher values.

“It’s always going to be the loser user unless we as a society make the decision to say no,

we need to think of the future and food security, with climate change, etc.”

The sensible approach is to keep options open to produce food when it’s needed and that’s the whole basis of the Agriculture Land Reserve, she added.

In the CaribooChilcotin there are lower capability lands within the ALR — the class fives and class sixes, which are natural grasslands.

At the time the ALC was classifying the lands, farmers and ranchers in the region

said those “marginal” areas were critical to their operations.

“The ALR boundaries did reflect the regional character of agriculture,” Sawicki said.

Barnett insisted the government is not trying gut the agricultural land reserve, but suggesting it’s a 40-yearold piece of legislation in need of some new initiatives.

“The last thing you want to do is take away agricultural land, there’s enough of that in the Lower Mainland that’s been desecrated for housing.”

Council of Canadians Williams Lake Chapter’s Ross McCoubrey (left) chats with noted environmentalist Vicky Husband and retired forester Anthony Britneff after a forum on forestry held Monday at the Cariboo Arts Centre Society that attracted around 75 local residents.

Husband and Britneff both spoke at the event.

Forest policy topic of public forum Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer There is an urgent need to correct forest policy, said retired forester Anthony Britneff.

Britneff, along with renowned environmentalist Vicky Husband and Peter Ewert from Stand Up for the North based in Prince George were speakers at a public forum on forestry held in Williams Lake Monday.

“Forests have a huge potential in this province, we’re just not seeing it,” said Britneff, who after a 40-year career with the Ministry of Forests retired in 2010.

The government began creating a “perfect storm” of mismanagement of public forests in 2001, just as the pine beetle epidemic began to play out, Britneff told the audience of around 75 people.

He suggested the for-

est and range practices act gave control to the private sector and replaced law and regulation with the notion of professional reliance, and the downsizing, budget cuts, reorganization, and office and branch closures within the Ministry of Forests, all compounded the problem.

In 2002, while he headed the provincial silviculture program, Britneff saw a “soaring” amount of non-sufficiently restocked lands.

“The silviculture budget was cut by 90 per cent from $100 million to about $8 million and then restored now to $40 million,” he said.

Between 2001 and 2012, the total provincial budget increased by 56 per cent, while the combined budgets for renewable resource ministries such as parks, environment and forestry de-

creased by 52 per cent, he added.

Husband warned a stumpage rate of 25 cents a cubic metre is “throwing away our forests,” resulting in very little revenue for the people of B.C. “There is little economic benefit at a great ecological expense,” she said.

Britneff suggested local forest trusts are the way to go, an idea being presented by Andrew Mitchell on his Green B.C. Communities blog.

There are no examples in B.C. or in Canada, but there are in Scandinavia.

The local forests are 100,000 or more hectares run by a local board that’s elected and community run.

They would be overseen by a provincial assembly to ensure the lands are managed sustainably, he continued.

“Then you’re talking

about the responsibilities of stewardship, not right to harvest,” Britneff said.

Presently the province is conducting consultation meetings on whether some forest licenses should be rolled over to

area based tenures, however, Britneff said government should be asking what is the best way to govern public forest resources to ensure sustainability for future generations instead.

THE WIDER WORLD

Your Preschooler and… the Wider World

Preschool children are naturally curious about the world - about where they live and the people around them. Supporting a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world and the people in it is important to your preschool child. It helps them to become good citizens. Your own curiosity, more than your knowledge, will encourage your child’s interest in the wider world.

Preschoolers enjoy helping in day-to-day activities of their families. For example, by including opportunities to assist with household chores they see how they are a valuable contributor in their family. As children are provided opportunities to care for their environments (e.g. gardening, cleaning, recycling, water conservation, etc.) they will develop an understanding of how their own actions may affect nature and the planet. Talk to your child about different ways they can take care of the planet.

During the preschool years, children start to develop an understanding of rules and behaviours. Help your child to begin understanding fairness to themselves and others through your conversation with them and by your example.

B.C. is very culturally diverse – some families are new to B.C., while other families have lived here for many generations, including a rich history of Aboriginal people. Your preschool child will benefit from opportunities to learn about their own heritage and culture and the culture of others.

Try some of these with your preschooler: To encourage care of the earth: 1. Go for neighbourhood nature walks; take turns pointing out interesting things to each other such as birds, cloud formations, trees, and green spaces.

2. Preschoolers love to collect things. Bring along a container when you go outdoors so your child can collect treasures along the way – seeds, leaves, rocks – and bring them home to examine.

3. At the grocery store, help your child point out items that can be recycled (like cans or cardboard boxes) and show items that are made of recycled materials (like paper products). Help them make artwork and crafts using recycled materials. Actively recycle at home.

4. Encourage help with household chores if your child is interested. Tearing lettuce, folding clothes, making beds and setting the table may be work for you, but these tasks can be fun for your preschooler — and will set patterns for responsible behaviour as they grow up.

5. Help your children understand where food comes from. Show them food being grown in neighbourhood gardens or at local farms, orchards, or greenhouses.

To encourage an understanding of diversity: 1. Attend a variety of community events that are taking place near your home.

2. When talking about diversity, point out human similarities first, then help your child appreciate people’s differences. You could say, “everybody needs food, shelter and love, but people have different ways of doing things. Our family’s way is just one way.”

3. Encourage your child to consider other’s feelings.

You could ask your child, “what do you think it would feel like if other children would not let you play?”

To encourage understanding of culture: 1. Explore your child’s own culture through stories and song, food and celebration.

2. Find an opportunity to introduce and appreciate other cultures. You could visit the library and find and read books about other cultures and cultural celebrations or listen to music from different cultures: French, Latin, Indian raga, Aboriginal drumming, etc. Local libraries have a great selection of multi-cultural music.

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

Williams Lake City Page Will there be an increase in operating cost after the proposed upgrades?

The expected operating cost increase of the new, larger pool is $50,000 per year.

This is a conservative estimate from the Pool Feasibility Study, which notes that the cost could be much less. It is expected that the upgraded pool will generate significant new revenue to offset most operational cost increases.

Where did I put that memory?

Celebrating rodeo

Vaisakhi ACROSS GENERATIONS

H

riday was kid’s day for me. First there was the Earth Day Challenge held at Thompson Rivers University involving some 100 elementary school students.

The youngsters participated in a wide range of activities concerning earthy issues (everything from fish and forests to amphibians and air quality) and they appeared to be having fun doing it.

The teachers and members of the seven groups French who did the teachConnection ing were equally Diana French enthusiastic.

It did occur to me that adult members of our community might benefit — and enjoy — a similar event. We don’t always know as much as we think we do — or is it we don’t always know what we don’t know?

A different event Friday evening, a dance at 150 Mile elementary, also involved young people. Almost all the girl attendees, including my two young granddaughters, wore dressy dresses and enjoyed some lively dancing, with or without partners. The boys, while equally energetic, were not so much on the dancing. It’s too bad that energy isn’t catching. Some of us older persons (moi) could use some of it.

Speaking of older, when I need to remember something and don’t have anything handy to write on, I switch my wedding ring to my third finger right hand. Having the ring where it doesn’t belong jogs my memory cells. I learned this from my mom, but my mother-in-law thought it was unlucky to ever take off your wedding ring. She didn’t say who or what might get the bad luck but some people thought removing one’s wedding ring endangered one’s marriage, but it didn’t do mine any harm.

For some reason, though, the trick isn’t working well lately. My ring’s been on the wrong finger for five days now and I have no idea what I’m supposed to remember.

Maybe the ring is too old?

A cowboy Easter It’s going to be a Cowboy Easter this year in Williams Lake.

Starting today we have ranchers from across Western Canada coming to town to buy and sell prized bulls at the 77th Annual Williams Lake Bull Show and Sale.

The historical event offers ranchers a great opportunity to not only select quality breeding stock for their operations, but also reconnect and visit with one another after a long winter and busy calving season.

We want to welcome all visitors to town.

Following the bull show and sale, everyone can keep their cowboy boots on for three exciting installments of the 24th Annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo.

The first rodeo performance kicks off Friday evening at 6 p.m. at the Cariboo

Memorial Recreation Complex, with many familiar local faces competing in barrels, team roping and riding events.

Two more afternoon rodeo performances will take place Saturday and Easter Sunday at 1 p.m.

Also on Friday morning, Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo volunteers will be hosting the first-ever, open-to-the-public, Cowboy Carnival, aimed at kids 10 years and younger.

The free event will give aspiring cowboys and cowgirls a hands-on experience with some rodeo event favourites. The Cowboy Carnival begins at 9 a.m. at the CMRC. Another fun event this weekend for families is the annual Boitanio Mall Petting Zoo and Cake Walk, taking place Saturday.

Happy Easter, everyone.

ere in the Cariboo-Chilcotin we are proud of our ranching and cowboy heritage. The most popular events in our region such as the Cowboy Music Festival in 100 Mile House and the Williams Lake Stampede involve celebrating this important heritage of our region.

So while the weather may still be a little chilly to go to the outdoor rodeo grounds, it will be the perfect temperature to watch some intense rodeo action this weekend for the 24th Annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo taking place at the Cariboo MLA Memorial ComMusings plex.

This three day Donna Barnett event will surely not disappoint rodeo fans with more than 200 competitors registered competing for one of the largest payouts in our province. I would like to thank President Shaun Oxtoby, the organizing committee and all of the volunteers for their hard work to make this event possible.

There is no doubt that rodeos like this one means a lot to our community. It is a big part of our identity and culture in Williams Lake, and our economy receives significant benefits from visitors coming from all parts of B.C., Canada and even the U.S. From hotel bookings, additional patrons at our local restaurants, and shoppers at small businesses events like these are important economic generators for our city.

These rodeos exist because of our vibrant ranching and cattle industry in the Cariboo.

The 77th Annual Williams Lake Bull Show and Sale will be held at the Williams Lake Livestock Yard, showcasing world-class livestock from ranches in our region.

It is important to remember that these our ranching industries provide thousands of direct jobs for people in the Cariboo-Chilcotin from ranch hands, livestock veterinarians, and equipment sales people among many more.

I am looking forward to be attending the Bull Sale to meet with local ranchers and producers discussing the issues and concerns you may have.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

People need to be counted as a resource Editor: On the subject of employment, or the lack of employment for young people, the situation seems to be the result of the economic policies of both our Federal and Provincial Governments.

In the late 60s Pierre Trudeau came to power.

After a series of dull, but frugal Prime Ministers, he opened up Canada, both with the export of our resources, as well as easing immigration, so that people with relatives in Canada could emigrate here.

I think that the concept of multiculturalism is a good one, but there must be work for people emigrating here, or they will take the jobs that are available.

Which was what happened.

Instead of developing secondary industry in Canada to process resources and raw materials from logging and mining, they were sold at bargain basement

prices to industrial nations, like Japan.

Industry would like more production from fewer employees to maximize profits.

And governments do not get after industry to do proper reclamation and look after the resource that is providing them with their resource.

There could be a lot of employment in our forests, and this is a key issue in discussion of the new Timber Supply changes.

There needs to be labouring work available. This allows people to get into the work force, and a chance to move forward in life.

Those people would significantly contribute to the economy of Williams Lake.

As for make work projects, fire guards could be made around the trailer parks and residential areas, preventive maintenance for a summer with fires.

That could employ quite a

few workers in this area.

It is all very well for governments to cater to big industry, and pour money into business, but they don’t care enough about poverty and unemployment.

Someone on social assistance, or a disability pension makes around $700 per month, while those in administration or management might make 10 times that.

Forty-five years ago we earned $21 per day piling lumber on the green chain. New workers’ entry level wage is now around $25 per hour.

To create work would help solve a lot of the social problems that exist, and narrow the gap between the prosperous and the impoverished.

To consider people as our greatest resource would be a start.

Society continues to evolve through difficult times Editor: In the 1860’s American Civil War — the abolition of slavery became U.S. law.

This month is the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights doctrine becoming U.S. law — not just the right not to be a slave — but the right to interracial marriage and full citizenship rights in America.

In 1973, Supreme Court U.S.A. decided in favour of women’s rights of reproduction.

Despite many millions dedicated by the Conservative Right Movement to overturn this decree, it is still law 41 years later.

China’s 1980s decree of ‘one child per family’ resulted in bias for boy children.

This preference resulted in female infanticide practiced on a national level.

Today, 30 years later, 140 million adult males have no wives.

Letters aLways weLcome

This was a government doctrine — recently ended.

In the 1960s Canada, Dr. Henry Morgentaler, (survivor of the Nazi death camps) spent time in jail for having the courage of his convictions to change women’s health care laws.

In the 1970s “bubble zones” were established around legal clinics providing abortions.

Women using these services were harassed, as were staff.

Clinics were burned and bombed, and doctors were gunned down, at home and at work, as recently as 1992 in Vancouver.

Where was their right to life?

Many of our parents fought World Wars for freedom to vote, and determine our destiny.

Many women ‘suffragettes’ fought for women’s right to vote in the early 1900s.

Many of my generation fought to have some rights over

our reproductive organs and futures.

Our daughters can make decisions with councillors, family planners and health care professionals.

Neither government dictate, nor fervent religious ardour stopped back alley terminations and desperate measures to end unwanted pregnancies.

Thankfully, pro-life billboards are replaced, inciting family discussions while driving — reminding us how far we’ve come from manipulative government doctrine, and dangerous fervent religious ardour.

Our daughters now have full citizenship rights to exercise.

This is no matriarchal society, rather the evolution of society through difficult times.

Four school classes participated in the Earth Day Challenge held at TRU in Williams Lake last Friday.

Displays were hosted by Department of Fisheries and Oceans, science professors and students in the labs, Quesnel River Research Station, UBC Forestry, Williams Lake Airshed Society and the Cari-

The classes who participated were the Home School Association with teacher Ms. McCoubrey, Cataline Grade 4/5 Mr. Kellam, Mountview’s Grade 5/6 Ms. Maas and Grade 4/5 Ms. Fawcett/Bowers.

The winners of the Earth Day Challenge quiz itself were the home schoolers who picked the prize of a

“We hope that students take some of what they learned back home and continue to work on ways to reduce their own impacts on the planet,” said Jenny Howell from CCCS.

Celebrating Vaisakhi Sikhs in Williams Lake celebrated Vaisakhi Day Friday through Sunday at the Gurdwara Western Singh Sabha Association Temple on Pine Street.

The Guru Nanak Sikh Temple on West-

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

Getting Pre-Approved for a mortgage is something every potential homebuyer should do before going shopping for a new home.

A Pre-Approval will give you the confidence of knowing that financing is available and it can put you in a very positive negotiation position against other homebuyers who aren’t pre-approved!

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.

NEWS Alcohol suspected in rollover The RCMP in Williams Lake responded to 98 calls for service during the weekend. In a roundup issued Monday, the RCMP highlighted some of the calls.

Friday, April 11 At 10:34 p.m. police responded to a report that a vehicle was broken into at Signal Point Gaming’s parking lot on Broadway Avenue South. Police responded and were updated by dispatch that a suspect was heading down Broadway Avenue South into the Kenworth dealership.

Members observed a male inside the locked compound but were unable to locate anyone inside after a thorough search. The owner of the vehicle at Signal Point Gaming parking lot stated the window was broken, front and back doors were left open, and a pair of pliers were left in the car. Stolen from inside the vehicle was a face plate for the stereo.

At 5 a.m. police attempted to stop a swerving west-bound pickup on Chilcotin Highway 20 near Meldrum Creek Road. The pickup was

travelling at 60 km/hr in a 100 km zone. The pickup fled and two spike belts were successfully deployed. The pickup continued to flee at low speed and finally went off onto a driveway near the Toosey turn off. Three occupants were arrested.

The matter is still under investigation.

Sunday, April 13 At 4:33 a.m. RCMP received a call a car was on its passenger side 60 feet down an embankment close to the railroad tracks near the 1400 block of South Lakeside Dr. A witness yelled to the car to see if anyone was inside the vehicle but no one answered. The witness stayed on scene until members arrived to show them exactly where the vehicle was. Officers located a 54-year-old male inside the front of the vehicle badly injured. Ambulance arrived along with auto extraction who got the driver out of the vehicle. The driver was taken to the Cariboo Memorial Hospital for treatment. Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in the accident.

Around 7:47 a.m. police received a call from a resident on Pigeon Avenue wanting to report that someone vandalized a lamp post that was connected to the property owner’s retaining wall. The property owner stated the damage occurred sometime between the hours of 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. There are no suspects.

The RCMP received a complaint of mischief at 8:18 a.m. to a vehicle at 2004 Third Avenue North. The owner of the vehicle advised sometime between 10 p.m. hours and 7 a.m. all four tires on his 1996 Ford Pickup were punctured. Police attended and observed small circular holes, about 4-5 millimetres in diameter, in all tires.

At 3:36 p.m. the RCMP received a request from the 150 Mile House Fire Department to assist with an outof-control grass fire on Sugar Cane Reserve.

Police attended and observed that much of the the field land north of the buildings on the reserve was on fire, or already burnt.

Police spoke with a

few residents on the north end on the reserve who advised it had started north of the buildings on Old Road and spread quickly, luckily, away from the houses.

Police conducted traffic control on Highway 97 for about an hour, as the flames were getting close to the highway at one point. Fire crews had the fire under control by about 4:30 p.m. and police cleared shortly afterwards.

In fact, the city has approved the Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club’s application to the liquor control board to expand its sale of liquor at the golf course.

If approved, the club will be able to sell liquor from carts and a kiosk on the course.

Teacher top festival conductor flute with a focus on music education and a year later earned her teaching certificate which allows her to teach music in the public school system.

She knows the basics on all the wind and percussion instruments, but says flute is her instrument major.

She started teaching music at the former Williams Lake Secondary School in January 2013 and this year is teaching music at both the Lake City Secondary Williams Lake and Columneetza campuses.

“I found myself in Williams Lake with a teaching job at Williams Lake Secondary School, now known as Lake City Secondary School, teaching band and other music courses,” Eilers says.

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Quintet Plus choir conductor Laura Eilers won the Cariboo Festival’s choir conductorship award last week despite being nervous about the prospect of conducting a choir.

“When Quintet Plus asked if I would direct them back in August, I was a little hesitant because my focus is in instrumental and I had never directed my own choir, but I felt compelled to challenge myself and accepted the position,” Eilers says.

“This experience has challenged me at times, but we have had fun learning new songs, and different genres of music.”

Eilers was named the choir conductor of the Cariboo Festival last week by adjudicator Erica Northcott and presented with the award by Cariboo Festival president Ann Smith during the festival’s choir night Tuesday, April 8.

Northcott also awarded gold certificates to all of the choirs entertaining that evening — Quintet Plus, Cariboo Men’s Choir, Angelkeys Children’s Choir, and the Just for Fun Friday evening women’s choir that also won the high point adult choir award.

In addition to conducting Quintet Plus, Eilers is the music director at the Lake City Secondary School’s Williams Lake Cam-

Eilers grew up in North Vancouver, and started playing flute in her Grade 4 school band.

“I have always been a part of the music community, and I was part of various community bands around the city,” Eilers says.

After high school Eilers started studying for her degree in music education at Brandon University, Brandon Manitoba.

Fashion forward with a twist Gaeil Farrar and Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Fashion trends come and go but clothing takes on a whole new meaning with the Station House Gallery’s April show What to Wear?

The sub-line says it all — “Where Art, Fashion and Stories Collide.”

Liliana Dragowska, Beth Holden, Jane Wellburn, and special guests Leah Selk and Stephanie Bird have staged an exhibition to rival any avant guard New York or London catwalk.

Some of the pieces are obviously not wearable but from the eclectic shoes and boots hanging from the ceiling to the kindling (yes wood) jacket, funky felted dresses, a VHS recording tape hat, to the flower-shirred, shower-curtain skirt flowing into a bodice made of wasp nest fibre and cardboard, this is one unique show.

The age old question of what to wear inspired these local artists to look for answers that challenge comfort levels and spark creativity exercised in all sorts of mediums — installations, felting, sewing, glass work, stencilling, photography, up-cycling, social commentary, sound, and even poetry.

From renovating thrift store finds to experimenting with original garment design through sewing, felting, and costume making this exhibition brings the artistic talents together of these women together in one space, exploring their diverse voices, opinions and flavours, their statement says.

“With each step of the clothing life cycle potential environmental and occupational hazards are being created,” their statement says.

“Maybe we should look to the dumps as our new shopping malls and slow the effects down!”

Each of the participating artist has been exploring art in fashion and design for a number of years.

Dragowska’s preferred medium is wool most often in the form of felting.

“The one thing that is predictable is that wool breaths, it’s anti-microbial, it’s water repellent, it’s light and it had a memory to assist with holding its shape,” Dragowska says in her biography.

“Almost as if it has a life of its own.”

Dragowska invites visitors to not only have a look at the works displayed but touch and feel the many textures and designs in each piece.

COMMUNITY NOTEBOOK Wednesday, April 30 Sense and Sensibility begins

The Studio Theatre is working hard on its new production of Sense and Sensibility based on the popular book by Jane Austen and adapted for the stage by Jon Jory.

The Studio Theatre is located in the former Glendale Elementary School.

Saturday, April 26 Wine tasting supports hospital Monica Lamb-Yorski photos

Venta and her daughter, Nagama, Rutkauskas look at a unique dress by Beth Holden made of a shower curtain, pussy willows, wasp nest material, and other natural things.

Liliana Dragowska talks about felting and the inspiration for the show.

Leah Selk and Jane Wellburn discuss the show.

Beth Holden features contemporary art works and installations in this show among them her kindling-inspired jacket.

“I thought, well I light a fire everyday,” Holden said during the opening of the show earlier this month. “I make kindling like it’s nobody’s business.”

Painting, drawing and mosaic making have been Holden’s main artistic interests but she is always keen to push boundaries.

Jane Wellburn started sewing in her teens creating classic pieces such as the hair scrunchie (it was the 90s), the pin cushion, and the stuffed two-dimensional duck.

This show has provided an opportunity to connect the simple skills of sewing with the fascinating complexity of human life.

tage doll collection and handmade dresses add a special heritage flavour to the show.

Bird learned a myriad of homesteading skills including how to sew and knit at the elbow of her paternal grandmother in Hants County, N.S. Her collection in this show is a compilation of her own knitted dolls and samples from the surviving collection that was knitted and sewn by her grandmother for Bird’s childhood dolls.

These pieces are symbols of maternal love, but also symbols of how crafts and skills that have survived generations have new value in our changing world where (almost) anything can be purchased, and may have increasing importance again in the future.

“I was thinking about fabric, repurposing and how we categorize fabric or not-fabric,” Wellburn said. “You will see a tarp even. I was trying to repurpose and use things differently.”

Selk reflects fashion in her photography.

She holds a diploma in visual arts from Camosun College Victoria and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Concordia University in Montréal and is currently co-ordinator of the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society.

“The photos are another stage,” Selk said.

“It’s been interesting to watch how the process unfolds. Watching them create the pieces and the photos are another aspect and my interpretation of the pieces.”

ented and this donation is a gift to our community,” Dr. Ray Sanders, TRU Williams Lake campus executive director said. “The Health Centre could not operate without the generosity of donations like this one. We are extremely grateful to the Conconi Foundation.”

The TRU Health Centre has been actively operating since October 2013 and is open to the public along with TRU students and staff.

“This is an unbelievably generous donation,” said Sandra Lachapelle, the centre’s lead nurse practitioner. “With this money, we will be able to purchase a number of vital tools for the Health Centre. This includes an electronic medical record sys-

tem, which will improve communication between providers and create greater security for people’s health care information.”

The Robert L Conconi Foundation was founded as a way to give back to local communities.

“Each of us have a responsibility in life to leave this world a better place than we found it,” Conconi said. “The foundation is an important part of what I intend to be my contribution.”

The TRU Health Centre is the only one of its kind in B.C. and offers patients a unique access point to the health care system as the only place in Williams Lake that offers drop in services other than the emergency department at Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

The Quintet Plus Choir was among the Cariboo Festival choirs that were awarded gold standing by the adjudicator during the Cariboo Festival vocal and choral competitions and participated in the festival choir concert last week. The Cariboo Festival wraps up April 26 with the Honours Concert at Cariboo Bethel Church starting at 7 p.m.

Music Monday supports music in schools Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer School bands, choirs and musical groups in School District 27 will be coming together on

Monday, May 5 to celebrate Music Monday.

Lake City Secondary School band teacher Laura Eilers says the event takes place at 10 a.m., May 5 in

Cariboo Festival adjudicator Erica Northcott works with Meaghan Amos who sang When Will My Life Begin during the festival vocal section April 78 at St. Andrews United Church.

Rink 1 at the Cariboo Memorial Complex and people from the community are invited to participate with the school students or just come out and watch.

“Anyone from the community wanting to participate in this event is more than welcome to join in, or to sit and watch, as more than 300 musicians from School District 27 play and sing together,” Eilers says.

The highlight of Music Monday this year will be the singing and playing of Is Somebody Singing, a song co-written for Music Monday by astronaut Chris Hadfield and Ed Robinson from the Barenaked Ladies.

“Any group or any one who plays an instrument or who sings, will sing the same song at the same time from

coast to coast.”

This is the second year School District 27 has hosted a Music Monday event.

School participants will include music groups from Lake City Secondary School, many elementary school choirs, Peter Skene Ogden, and elementary bands/choirs from 100 Mile elementary schools, along with various musicians from across the Cariboo, Eilers says.

Participants will start off singing and playing the Music Monday song, then each of the groups will perform one or two pieces each.

“It is a great event to promote music education and the students last year had a lot of fun!” Eilers says.

Music Monday is an event to promote the importance of music

education.

“Every two years a new song is written by a Canadian artist, and is then transcribed into a plethora of arrangements for different groups, such as band, choir, steel drums and recorders,” Eilers says.

She says 2014 marks the 10th anniversary of the Coalition for Music Education’s Music Monday project, an event which gets bigger and bigger every year, with students of all ages participating across the country.

The song, lyrics and arrangements can be found on the website musicmonday.ca.

“The event takes place the first Monday in May every year and has become a day that many students across the country look forward to,” Eilers says.

Some people in the community have started meeting on Thursday afternoons around 4 p.m. to knit and crochet together for the lakecity’s Yarnbombing Project spearheaded by local artists to help the city celebate its 85th anniversary this summer. The knitting and crocheting will be used to decorate trees and fences in city during the summer months.

Pictured are artists Cat Prevette (circling from the left), Louise Roi, Anne Brown and potters Lesley Lloyd, Buff Carnes, Barb Fraleigh and Joan Beck.

Artist workshops to focus on reconciliation A unique set of workshops for artists is coming up in May and June to explore the topic of reconciliation.

“Reconciliation is both a personal journey and a public process,” says Anne Burrill, the city’s manager of social development.

“We are inviting First Nations and nonFirst Nations artists to participate in an interactive workshop on May 12 to explore reconciliation and then create a piece of artwork that is reflective

of their experience, thoughts and ideas following the workshop.”

She says a second workshop will be held in late June for artists to share their work and their process for creating each piece.

Artists will then be invited to contribute their work to a show at the Station House Gallery during the month of September.

The workshops will be held at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre and be co-facilitated

by Sheila Dick and

Anne Burrill and are open to equal numbers of First Nations and non-First Nations artists.

Artists are asked to register in advance in order to better plan for the workshop.

Lunch will be provided and health supports will be available on site.

The artists’ workshops are sponsored by the Orange Shirt Day Committee with the support of the City of Williams Lake, Cariboo Regional Dis-

These two unidentified adventurous souls took advantage of a nice sunny afternoon late last month to do a little rock climbing.

This big rock face, located near Dog Creek, is quite often utilized by climbers, either for practice or as a place for a lesson. Without knowing the whole story in this case, it appeared that there was some tutelage taking place here.

At any rate, it was a beautiful day in the Cariboo for any sort of outdoor activity.

Speed skaters get Olympic advice A trio of Williams Lake speed skaters received some Olympic instruction in Kamloops earlier this month.

Williams Lake Speed Skating Club members Sophie Reissner, 8, Leah Lauren, 9, Ty Lauren, 10, and their coach, Tania Lauren, were invited by the Ka-

mloops Longblades to a training session with 2014 Canadian shorttrack speed skating team silver medalist Jessica Hewitt.

Hewitt, a former Kamloops resident and member of the Longblades, hosted a twoday speed skating clinic at the McArthur Island Sports Centre Olympic

Oval April 4-5.

Tania was invited to the clinic as a new coach in the province, and the skaters were welcome to participate on Friday — a session that was closed to strictly the Longblades.

Sophie, Leah and Ty took part in dry-land training and were given practice time on the ice

with Hewitt. They also got autographs and had the opportunity to hold her silver medal.

On Saturday, the community was invited to the ice rink for pictures, treats and a free skate.

Bowlers throw strike at provincials Two local youth senior bowlers fired a strike at the provincial bowling championships in Kelowna on April 5.

Alex Airey and Cole Broen, along with their coach, Char Appleton — after claiming the gold medal in the zone finals for youth doubles on March 16 — won a silver medal in the senior youth

doubles division at the championships.

Airey and Broen bowled four games each at the competition, which featured seven teams in the senior youth age division.

Provincials mark the end of the season, but youth bowling starts up again in September at Cariboo Bowling Lanes.

sports Relays prove strong for Blue Fins at Prince George meet Twenty-five Williams Lake Blue Fins swimmers splashed to Prince George last weekend for their first Olympiclength long-course swim meet of the year.

Blue Fins head coach Chad Webb said, as expected, the team had some great performances.

“It was the younger ones that really churned up the pool, this time,” Webb said.

Austin Boehm and Guillaume Bayle posted solid times, as the long-course pool, Webb noted, didn’t seem to phase them despite it being their first out-oftown competition with the club.

Gracie Frost, Keanna Saunders and Leif Brandson once again showed the north the younger Blue Fins swimmers are a force to be reckoned with as they placed in the top four in almost every swim they competed in.

Saunders and Brandson both marched away with medals in the 200-metre freestyle and the 200-metre individual medley, while Gracie was narrowly kept out of the medals with two fourth-place finishes in both events.

The 10-and-under girls relay team, including Taylor Fitzgerald, Isabelle Knox, Frost and Saunders, destroyed the competition.

The girls finished 22 seconds ahead of second-place Prince George in the 200 medley relay and then proceeded to come from behind and pass Points North (a combination team of Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Terrace) in the last 50 metres of

The team also came very close to setting a new club record in both of the relays.

“I thought the race might be close when we were down to the last swimmer and Keanna was four second behind,” Webb said. “I need not worry as she swam to a best time and blew by the competition dominating another relay. Even our ‘B’ team, which was fielded with younger and newer swimmers, managed a fifth-place swim in the medley relay.”

Webb added the Blue Fins’ second team consisted of Grace Turner, Brooklyn Carrier, Abby Webb and Gabrielle Knox.

“This really shows some great depth in our younger swimmers and future of our club with all eight girls in the thick of the competition,” he said.

Frost, meanwhile, swam her way to her first ‘AA’ time in the 50-metre freestyle and

came close in a few other events. She now needs to qualify with one more ‘AA’ time in order to join the team in Victoria in June.

Frost was named Blue Fins Swimmer of the Meet for her ‘AA’ swim, as well as taking off almost one minute of time in her individual events.

Webb noted Landon Christensen also swam a great meet, taking almost 40 seconds off in his individual events, along with helping the 11- and 12-year-old boys’ 200-metre relay team of Liam McCreight, Mitchell Ryan and Jonny Russell to a third-place finish.

Isabelle Knox had a breakthrough meet, finishing her weekend by qualifying for out of region swim meets through a strong performance in the 200-metre individual medley. She was also a factor in the girls’ 10 and under relay performance.

The 15 and over girls relay team also proved competitive by placing second in the 200-me-

variable valve timing, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The two base engines available are a solid 2.4-litre four-cylinder and a 2.5 version, both of which are likely adequate for commuter use.

I headed straight for Highway One and it positively purred along the long, clear stretches open to the daytime driver. Great acceleration in take-off and passing with limited lean and sway when cornering at speed.

Back in urban madness, it offered a good view of fast encroaching vehicles from side streets and the rear. I mention this because I expected the sleek window profiles might hinder views, especially to the rear. Hence, it was also not as much of a beast to park at the supermarket as I had feared. Light steering also assisted in that manouevre.

On the urban performance front, the transmission took the annoyance out of stop-go traffic.

Have to think it was gulping gas though in smoothing out the urban trek.

The Impala with the V6 starts at $32,945 (around $3,000 more than the 4-cylinder-equipped versions) but the test car options, which included rear park assist, rear vision camera, collision and lane departure alerts, premium audio, sunroof, added another $7,000. It will compete with the Dodge Charger and Ford Taurus domestically and a host of imports.

Now to my reservations: the fuel economy for the V6 is 11.1/6.9L 100km (city/highway) and while that is not bad for a large car, it’s not the best in its segment. The four-cylinder eco version is impressive at 8.7/5.8L 100km (city/ highway). That said,I don’t think fuel economy will be a deal breaker for most people.

My continued reservations really boil down to reliability. It’s a brand new car and we should wait a couple or three years before anointing this car as the best domestic sedan ever. That caution should not stop you from taking one for a spin. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

A Ford Euro car for the Americas

By Zack Spencer

Ford has done an excellent job of using its worldwide expertise to bring some very practical, yet fun to drive, small cars to North America.

Using Europeans to build the Ford Focus and Fiesta for a worldwide market enabled the manufacturer to bring these superb handling cars virtually unchanged to our shores.

On top of that, Ford is also selling their sportiest ST versions of both these cars. The Focus ST was introduced last year and this year we get the Fiesta ST “hot hatch”.

I’ve been a huge fan of the Fiesta. In fact, I prefer it to the bigger Focus, it is a perfect city runabout with go-cart like handling and a stylish little package.

Looks

For 2014, all Fiesta models get a minor facelift with a new front grille and headlights. The ST is easy to spot because of the black honeycomb grille with an ST badge, bigger alloy wheels, a rear spoiler hanging over the rear window, a bigger rear air diffuser with twin exhaust tips and blacked out trim around the windows. The ST looks like it means business. There are two exterior options that might be worth the money.

Upgraded paint colours like ‘Molten Orange’ or ‘Green Envy Metallic’ cost $400 and the smoked grey wheels with red brake calipers cost $500 more.

The base ST at $24,999 comes very well equipped and is ready to cause some trouble.

Inside

The first thing that pops right out on the ST interior are the two heavily bolstered Recaro sports seats. These are not meant for big people, you just won’t fit. They are snug and supportive but lack some simple, yet important adjustments. The front of the seat sits much

‘‘

This Fiesta ST is a gem in the subcompact class, delivering great economy, fabulous interior and plenty of smiles.

higher than the back so your backside is very low with your knees pointing up. This produces a sporty feel initially but on longer trips, the lack of adjustment prevents the driver from being able to stretch their legs.

The dash has been updated to include a MyFord Touch screen for radio, phone, navigation and climate functions. The screen is rather small and far away from the driver, which makes accessing the small, virtual buttons on the screen a challenge.

However, it does look much better than the older Fiesta dash.

The ST comes standard with very powerful front seat heaters, automatic cli-

mate control, a fat leather steering wheel with redundant radio controls and a leather covered manual shifter. The back seat has always been tight in the Fiesta; this is perfect for a single person or couple, not the best for a family.

Drive

In an era of cars that almost drive themselves, the Fiesta ST is a throwback to a timewhen the driver felt connected to the machine.

The suspension is much firmer than the regular Fiesta, almost harsh over bumpy roads but the feedback to the driver through the tight steering ratio, firm chassis and the grippy Recaro seats is superb. The turbocharged, direct injection 1,6L Ecoboost engine pumps out 197hp. Only sold with a super-slick manual transmission that shifts with no effort at all and the clutch is precise.

In such a small car, this engine lets the driver do pretty much anything at will.

Want to pass on the highway? No problem.

Want to scoot away from a traffic light? No effort at all. This really is a car that does everything very well, including getting good fuel economy when the throttle is used lightly:

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST. using only 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.6L on the highway.

Verdict

At $24,999, the price might seem a bit steep for a subcompact car but this little machine comes almost fully loaded for that price.

The options available are not “must have” items so the price can be kept in check. This Fiesta ST is a gem in the subcompact class, delivering great economy, fabulous interior and plenty of smiles. The ST just delivers much bigger smiles.

IS YOUR MAN!

Confessions of a Curber Thank goodness, the stolen vehicle was behind me.

Did I feel bad? Yes. Does it make me a bad person for selling a stolen vehicle? Probably.

But to outsiders, my life hasn’t changed. I’m still the same old Walt. Oh, if they only knew.

I was on a roll. To my disbelief, I’d sold seven cars already. I guess you could say it was a part of me now – I “flip” cars on the side.

And, I was branching out – with a truck and camper. The truck had been rebuilt. It was roadworthy again. I even had the inspection records to prove it. And the camper? That was marketing genius.

When I put it up for sale, I fibbed. But only a little bit.

“Truck for sale. Fixed after fender bender, looks new. Includes camper. It’s been in an accident, so I’m selling both for a low price. Great for family adventures. Call if interested.”

Shortly after, I got a call. The man had a distinct, charming accent. He asked me what a “fender bender” was. I explained that it was a small accident. He seemed pleased and asked to meet me the next day. I assumed he was relatively new to the country, so I thought this would be an easy sale.

Boy was I wrong!

He’d gone to “new immigrant” welcome classes, where they shared information about life in Canada.

I think this was where he developed an interest in camping Canadian style.

He knew all the right questions to ask. But, I

gave him all the wrong answers.

And, I didn’t tell him the camper was way too heavy for the truck to be safe.

He also asked for a vehicle history report. I pulled the CarProof report out. I mean, I had nothing to hide. He asked me what “rebuilt*” meant. I told him that, because of the small accident, the transmission needed to be rebuilt. Oh, but I’d altered the sections detailing the amount of damage.

Judging from his English skills, I’m sure he didn’t understand the difference. At least he was trying. He got an “A” for effort.

I hope he figures out that the truck and camper would be unsafe on the road when he gets it fully loaded with passengers, fuel and gear. Good thing I have my “no returns” policy!

Yes, I know what you’re all thinking. This is the lowest of the low.

But you have to understand. I was slightly manic about this whole thing. At this point, I would do anything to make a sale and get myself another wallet full of cash.

Information

We are looking for EXPERIENCED INSTALLERS with construction experience, specifically for doors and windows. Experience an asset.

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Executive Director to take on the management and leadership of the Central Interior Rural Division according to the strategic direction set by the Board of Directors. The contract position is for one year with the possibility of renewal.

DOIDGE (nee Gourlay), Laurel July 5, 1948 - April 8, 2014 Cherished and beloved wife and soulmate of Don, much loved mother and friend to Heather (Nav Sidhu) and Meghan (Michael Horrocks), devoted sister to Wayne and Janice (David Moore), and dear friend to many, in particular Kevin and Rose McCullough. Laurel was predeceased by her parents, Norman and Monica Gourlay.

Laurel will be fondly remembered and sorely missed by all who got the chance to know her, especially her friends in Williams Lake and Duncan, BC. Her kindness and friendly personality made her a respected role model to all who met her, and she could light up a room with her easy laugh and smile. She had the innate ability to make people feel welcome, appreciated, and comfortable.

Her lapcat Dusti will miss her gentle pets and leftover cereal milk, her walking group will miss her silly jokes and funny stories, and her choir will miss her dedicated alto voice.

Laurel was a beautiful, gentle woman who always made sure that those she loved knew it. She welcomed newcomers into her life, and offered herself as a comforting friend to those in need of her unique compassion. She followed in her father’s footsteps of being fair and equal to all, and putting her family first. She made the best of every situation, striving to “think good thoughts” and live in the present.

Laurel travelled the world in her youth, soaking in all the culture, language, and experiences she could. She carried this love of travel well into adulthood, cheerfully assisting Don in his field work all over BC for his work with Federal Forestry (that is, when she wasn’t being swarmed by mosquitos, wasps, or bears).

She enjoyed a variety of adventurous road trips in Canada and the States, sunbathing in Mexico and Hawaii, and skiing, albeit cautiously, the slopes of many of BC’s finest hills. One of her favourite places to travel to was the Cabin at the Bay, where she welcomed family and friends from near and far to stop in and watch the world go by with a pair of trusty binoculars and a glass of Chardonnay.

Many will remember Laurel for her love of living and loving. She will be remembered when a lime wedge is dropped into a Mexican beer on a sunny patio, when a hot ice cream scoop carves out the perfect serving of “special-not-vanilla” ice cream, when the aroma of a fresh apple pie wafts through the air, when basketball playoffs begin each June, when gardens get lovingly tended to, when trains go by, when wooden oars slice through crisp blue water, when lilacs bloom, and on “steak and champagne night”, the 22nd of every month, her monthly wedding anniversary with Don since May 22, 1976.

Laurel’s family extends many thanks to those who supported them through her illness, and special gratitude must be extended to Cheryl Heath for her gracious, selfless compassion, as well as to the care aides, nurses, volunteers, and staff at Waldon House, Sunridge Place, and Gorge Road Hospital for their genuine care and respect for Laurel.

Laurel was taken too soon; she had so much more to give.

In lieu of flowers, donations to fund critical research for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease would be greatly appreciated by Laurel’s family.

Please join us on Saturday, April 26 at 1pm for a service held at Duncan United, Laurel’s church since childhood, followed by a reception with tea and light snacks at Heritage Hall next door.

Address: 246 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC. Condolences may be offered online at www.sandsduncan.ca SANDS of DUNCAN 250-746-5212

Children’s books needed Lil Mack Special to Tribune/Advisor April is Bright Red Bookshelf Book Drive month in Williams Lake.

For the whole month of April the Bright Red Heartland Toyota Tundra truck will be around town collecting books for the Bright Red bookshelves.

The Bright Red Bookshelf is a program that recirculates gently used children’s books into the community where they are made available free to families.

There are 12 bookshelves now in operation.

They are at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex Arena,

Books popular

Gaeil Farrar photo

Galvin Hoyer and his daughter Riania, 11, with the book Riania received at the Williams Lake Field Naturalists fundraising banquet Friday evening. The book draw is a popular part of the event.

All children also receive a free book on our natural world.

and Pool, Ministry of Children and Family Development, Boitanio Mall, Yorston Clinic, Cariboo Eye Care Clinic, CC Gymnastics Club, Child Development Centre, Community Services Co-op (Second Avenue), Heartland Toyota, Barton Insurance, Citizen and Immigration (First Avenue).

The truck visits schools where children have donated their own books.

Last year we recirculated over 5,000 books back into the hands of community children.

Children and parents must like the idea because since starting the program in 2009 we have received and given out over 20,000 books.

Community members can donate books at any of the Bright Red Bookshelf location in town.

There are one or two bins below the bookshelves where donations can be left.

If you have a lot of books to donate you can call us. Donations are also accepted at the Salt Jar thrift store or the public library.

Throughout the community there are gems sparking up the

books so they can look great on the bookshelves.

There is the wonderful crew from the Association of Community Living making all the books new again by washing them, removing any marks, and restocking the shelves.

The Brownies have a Bright Red Book Shelf night.

Service Clubs have made cash donations for the purchase of new books to spruce up the shelves.

Heartland Toyota, since the beginning of the program is our major corporate sponsor.

We could not do this project without this level of community support so thank you all.

Part of the mission of the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy (CCPL) is to promote literacy through awareness and advocacy.

The BRB program does just that.

For more information about the Bright Red Bookshelf Program, CCPL or programs offered, please call Claire Schreiner (250-398-4173) or Lil Mack (250-392-6867).

We always have room for volunteers….big and small!
