Police remain vigilant Tuesday at the scene of Sunday’s homicide in a residential neighbourhood on Eleventh Avenue North.

Police seek public assistance in homicide Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Police are appealing to the public for information that could help solve the homicide of a 22-year-old man, killed Sunday in a residential neighbourhood in Williams Lake.

Corey Huu Le, also known as Corey Porter, was discovered deceased at the scene outside

a home in the 1,000 block of Eleventh Avenue North Sunday morning at about 3:45 a.m.

Police have not released a cause of death, however, residents in the area say they heard the sound of gun shots.

A 21-year-old woman, also located at the scene, was transported to hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries.

Police said Le was known to

police and that they believe the homicide was targeted.

“If somebody knows something about Corey we are asking them to let us know,” said RCMP North District media relations Corp. Dave Tyreman Tuesday.

“Let’s say they saw him in public the day before somewhere and noticed something that might even help us to es-

tablish a timeline.”

If you or anyone you know may have any information regarding the investigation, please contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

The North District Major Crime Unit and a forensic team are assisting the Williams Lake RCMP with the investigation.

Sam Ketcham Pool Referendum Question of the Week Q: How will cost overruns on the project be avoided?

A:Undertaking a major renovation and upgrade project such as the recommended option for the pool requires several strategies to keep the work within the planned budget. There are appropriate contingencies for unforeseen circumstances and inflationary factors built into the $11.3 million construction estimate provided by the architects, which created the concept design. The architects involved have extensive experience in developing budgets for projects of this nature; and detailed designs would be completed prior to construction to confirm the estimated costs. The exact final construction cost will not be known until tender bids from construction companies are received. Of course, it is hoped that the bids will come in lower than the estimated budget. The expected cost for local taxpayers of $40 per $100,000 of assessed value may also be significantly offset by grants from the provincial and federal governments and support from corporate sponsors.

CDC moves forward with autism centre Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Under sunny skies the sod was officially turned Tuesday for the Child Development Centre’s new autism centre in Williams Lake.

Original CDC founder Aileen Hewett, who will turn 96 this month, was there wearing a pink hard hat, holding the golden shovel.

Spruce Lee Construction and M. H. Excavating have already begun breaking ground.

Alongside CDC staff, Sprucelee Construction Ltd. designed the facility and will be

constructing it.

“We have $96,000 from the John Gordon Autism Foundation to go toward the project,” CDC executive director Nancy Gale said.

“We are fundraising and applying for grants because for the centre and some other expansions of the CDC we will need an additional $200,000.”

Originally it was hoped Thompson Rivers University’s residential construction program would be involved with the project, however, a class isn’t running at the campus right now so that partnership wasn’t realized.

Besides, Gale said there’s a limited time

Aileen Hewett, 95, at Child Development Centre sod turning. to see the centre constructed so they are moving ahead.

Hewett praised the CDC, saying it’s come a long way in its 40

years.

“It’s amazing what Nancy and her board

have done,” she said.

Mayor Kerry Cook agreed, suggesting the new autism centre will be a great addition to the community.

“It speaks to the leadership of Nancy, the staff and the board for making this happen.”

The new centre will resemble a 1 , 2 0 0 - s q u a r e - fo o t house.

It will have a full kitchen with room for cooking classes and a sitting room off to the side.

The bathroom will have a bath tub and two sizes of toilets.

There will be laundry facilities so children can learn life skills.

The centre will have a quiet room that will be very child specific to meet the needs of autistic children.

Staff had asked the children who presently access autism support services how the quiet room should be designed.

“We want to ensure it’s a very usable space for other children as well, but focused on autism,” Gale said.

The John Gordon Autism Foundation is also very keen for the centre to offer pre-vocational and vocational skill training to help teenagers obtain that first job and be part of society and the greater community, Gale said.

Rotating school strikes come to School District 27 Tuesday Angie Mindus and Tom Fletcher Black Press Teachers are expected to walk off the job Tuesday, May 27 in a one-day rotating strike in the Cariboo Chilcotin, according to the B.C. Teacher’s Federation (BCTF) school district strike schedule.

The move is the start of province-wide rotating job action by the BCTF, after the union rejected the province’s latest offer of a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year.

While Superintendent Mark Thiessen won’t say just yet that school will be closed Tuesday, he did acknowledge the strike’s impact.

“The BCTF has given notice that rotating strikes around the province will begin next week. According to the schedule released by the BCTF today [Tuesday], teachers will not be in school, and regular instruction will not be offered in School District No. 27 on Tuesday, May 27. While school principals and vice principals will be

at their schools on that day, I am recommending that parents keep their children at home on Tuesday due to supervision concerns.

Any extension of the rotating job action will depend on events at the provincial bargaining table.”

BCTF president Jim Iker said Tuesday the bonus offered by the government doesn’t make up for the wage offer of 6.5 per cent over six years. A simultaneous plan to cut teacher wages 5 per cent or more because of strike action is “just

so disrespectful, so unnecessary, and we’ll be dealing with it at the Labour Relations Board,” Iker said.

Unless there is some compromise on major issues, one-day strikes with picket lines will be staged at one group of school districts in each of the first four days next week, with teachers returning to work across the province on Friday, May 30.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the signing bonus and reducing the contract term from 10 years to six were significant ef-

Lightning ignites house fire Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The owners of a home on Fox Mountain say it’s a miracle they escaped unharmed after lightning caused their home to catch fire Monday.

While they were eating dinner, there was

a thunder shower and they believe lightning hit a tree right near the home. The wife said the strike ran down the tree, across the clothesline, blowing it off.

It then hit the back light, knocking it out of the socket and that’s where the fire ignited.

Within minutes of being

called at 6 p.m. the Williams Lake Fire Dept. arrived with four apparatus and 24 firefighters.

“We also had mutual aid from Wildwood with two tenders and four firefighters,” deputy fire chief Rob Warnock said. “We were able to contain the fire into the attic area.”

The home was a 30-year-old log home with a tile roof that was built by the owners. There is water and smoke damage throughout the home and the owners will learn later this week from the insurance adjustor whether the home will be saved or not.

forts to move toward a settlement.

“Unfortunately the announcement today says that the BCTF feels that disrupting classrooms, affecting children and their families is going to help to reach a settlement,” Fassbender told reporters in Vancouver.

Iker reiterated the union’s position that more pay, more teachers and a return to contract language guaranteeing class size and special needs support are needed to reach a settlement.

Peter Cameron,

chief negotiator for the province’s 60 school districts, informed the union last week that a five per cent pay cut will be put in place “soon” in response to the first phase of strike action.

The BCTF began work-to-rule action in April, refusing supervision outside classrooms and communication with school management. Rotating strikes were also authorized by the BCTF membership in a March vote, and beginning to shut down schools could result in an effort to cut teacher pay by 10 per cent.

Cameron said last week the union’s latest wage demand amounts to 15.9 per cent over four years, far beyond what other provincial public service unions have received. The BCTF maintains its wage proposal is 13.25 per cent over four years, including cost-of-living increases based on each year’s inflation rate.

Thiessen said district newsletters with updates will be sent home with all students this week, and more information can be found on the district’s website at www.sd27.bc.ca.

Bear spray incidents a problem Bear spraying incidents are a problem in Williams Lake the RCMP said Tuesday.

“We have investigated five complaints involving bear spray in the month of May,” Williams Lake RCMP

Sgt. Rick LeBeuf said.

On Tuesday, May 20 at 7:27 a.m. the RCMP responded to a bear spray incident in the 600 Block of Carson Drive.

They arrived to find a window had

been broken and the bear spray released inside the house through the window.

A vehicle description resulted in the arrest of an 18-yearold male. The matter is still under investigation.

NEWS Bike to Work Week May 26 to June 1 Jane Wellburn and Tammy Keetch Special to Tribune/Advisor It’s spring in the Cariboo — time to get out in the garden, bask in the sunshine, and dust off the ol’ bicycle for a cruise.

May 26 to June 1 is Bike to Work and School Week in B.C., a perfect opportunity to get pedalling. We all know that riding a bike is just a plain old good time, but it’s also a fantastic way to get in shape, save your wallet from the gas pumps, get your whole family out together and improve our air quality.

You might produce some CO2 huffing and puffing, but it’s nothing compared to what a vehicle pumps out. Motor vehicles create more air pollution than any other single human activity.

In Williams Lake the air pollutant of special concern for our health is called “particulate matter,” of which vehicle exhaust is a contributor.

If everyone in Canada chose an environmentally friendly form of transportation one

day a week like cycling or walking, vehicle emissions would be reduced by 20 per cent! Using active transportation is one way to help keep our air clean.

Bike to Work and School Week is a great way to get out on the road with others and feel supported as you make the transition from four wheels to two.

The Williams Lake Environmental Society, the Williams Lake Air Quality Roundtable, and local sponsors are putting together a week filled with all things cycling.

Riders can register online through the Bike to Work BC website, www.biketowork.ca/ williams-lake, and challenge themselves and others as they rack up kilometres.

Every day you log kilometres you will be entered into a draw for prizes; the more riding you do, the better your odds of winning.

Cyclists can track their routes, kilometers pedalled, emissions saved and calories burned.

Bike events will be happening throughout

the week to get you going: • The local bike shops, Barking Spider and Red Shred’s, will be hosting free lunch hour mechanic clinics to teach you some quick tricks to keep you rolling.

• The ladies at Satya Yoga Studio will be theming their week’s classes around the strength and stretches needed to keep you limber on your bikes.

Check out their website for class times and rates: www.satyayogastudio.ca • Keep an eye out for deals for Bike to Work Week participants at the local coffee shops during the week.

We’ve also got some great events for your post-commute Bike-toPlay evenings: *** Tuesday evening, May 27, at 6 p.m. catch the weekly ladies ‘DH (downhill) to Downdog’ mountain bike ride leaving from Red Shred’s.

Catch a shuttle up and then roll into Satya Yoga Studio at 7:30 p.m. for a $10 drop-in yoga session; the studio will provide safe lock-up for bikes. If you’re up for an

asphalt pedal, join the Barking Spider crew on a Tuesday evening road bike ride leaving from the shop at 6 p.m. *** Wednesday, May 28 at 6 p.m. head out on the ‘Welcome to Wednesday Night’ mountain bike ride. Cross-country enthusiasts can meet at 6 p.m. at the old garage next to the Overlander.

Expect some cardiovascular action and come prepared to spend a few hours in the saddle. *** On Thursday, May 29, it’s all about the kids.

After the commute to school meet up at the Boys and Girls Club.

They’ll be heading out on an intro to mountain biking ride with the 8-12 year olds from 3 to 5 p.m. and will wind up at the Bike Park in Boitanio with a barbecue at 5 p.m. Everyone is welcome to head down to the park and grab a burger! *** Friday, May 30 will wrap up the workweek, and while Bike to Work Week officially rolls through the weekend and ends on the Mon-

T

here is certainly no joy in hearing that Carey Price is hurt. What rotten luck. *** Today’s question — how did we get to be so dependent on grants?

The “grant industry” is huge. Thousands of non-profits get mazillions of dollars in grants; lower levels of governments get money from higher levels; even businesses get grants. Corporations have grant programs and some private foundations exist only as grantors. Our economy would collapse without the system.

You can get a grant for almost anything if you can write a convincing application. There are French even organizations Connection that get grants to Diana French teach people how to get grants.

Grants can be a good thing. Or not. Many valuable programs wouldn’t exist without them. The best projects, in my opinion, provide needed services and a job or two. On the down side, grants are a cheap way for governments to get out of providing the services themselves, too many projects end when the grant isn’t renewed, and sometimes iffy projects get funded.

Private foundations seem to be pickier in awarding grants, but maybe that’s because politics or personal biases often influence government decision makers. For example, the Harper government’s vendetta against environmental groups. Then too, most grantors have a set budget and feel obligated to spend it all regardless of a project’s value.

Most grant receivers have a project and hunt for a granting source. Others (grant groupies?) hear of a grant then invent a project to fit it.

My first experience with grants was decades ago with the federal Local Initiatives Program. Former city councillor Terry Issigonis and I were on the B.C. selection team.

Faced with hundreds of applications, we divided them into “yes, no and maybe” piles.

On the first go around, the yes pile was really skimpy. The money had to be spent, so poor programs were funded. That experience coloured my thinking.

Our Viewpoint

Drive safely and report drunks Here’s something to think about as the summer holiday — and summer holiday driving — season gets underway.

While incidents of drinking and driving are on the decline, thanks in part to the much tougher provincial rules about blood alcohol limits, a recent crash in Aldergrove illustrates that some people simply don’t care.

A 32-year-old Abbotsford man was seen by witnesses exiting his smashed vehicle, grabbing a case of beer and heading to a nearby fast food restaurant — despite having broken bones in his leg.

The man had apparently been driving at a high speed. Witnesses report him passing on the right at a high rate of speed as he was getting off the freeway at 264 Street. Shortly afterwards, he smashed into a minivan driven by a woman and carrying five small children.

Thankfully, no one in the van was seriously injured.

The RCMP are now reporting that the man has no valid driver’s licence and the car he was driving was not insured. The case is sounding more and more like another one in Aldergrove that ended in tragedy.

Carly Regan, a 13-year-old girl, was struck and killed by Paul Wettlaufer, a drunk driver who also did not have a licence. He did not come forward but hid his vehicle. It was found, he was arrested and eventually jailed.

While such cases are, thankfully, rare, there are some people who have serious drinking problems and should never be driving. Often, they have lost their licences but continue to drive. All the laws in the world won’t stop them.

All that the rest of us can do is be vigilant, report to police anything that looks like a problem situation and drive as cautiously as we can.

cross Canada, May long weekend is traditionally the kickoff to summer. Warmer weather, longer days and lots of sunshine are in our sights from now until September, hopefully.

What better way to experience the beauty of summer in British Columbia than exploring the hundreds of B.C. Parks found right in our own backyard, and throughout every corner of our province. B.C. is home to some of the most picturesque and unique natural landscapes found nowhere else in the world and easily accessible for anyone to enjoy.

Our provincial parks draw visitors from around the world, and not surprisingly truly the MLA biggest attraction Musings that B.C. has to offer. For years, Coralee Oakes British Columbia has set aside land and outdoor spaces to be preserved and enjoyed for generations.

As you plan your summer vacation, or quick weekend getaways, be sure to visit bcparks.ca to explore what each park has to offer including listings of location, amenities or activities. Campsite reservations can be simply made right from your computer before you leave at discovercamping.ca.

Exploring our incredible backcountry is also made easier with our backcountry permit registration service found on the B.C. Parks site. All of the information needed for your excursion including campsite information, details of nature and wildlife in the area, lists of activities and hiking trail information.

However, whenever you are outdoors in the front or backcountry, be smart. Close encounters with wildlife, careless maintenance of campfires and litter are becoming an increasing problem in our parks.

Be sure to check with bcwildfire.ca for upto-date information of fire bans and alerts throughout B.C. Also, be sure to let others know your trip plans including departure and expected return dates.

So make plans this summer to explore your favourite provincial park and enjoy Beautiful British Columbia.

Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

Government sending contradictory message Editor: I haven’t written in recently and really hadn’t planned to.

The article that made me dust off my soap box is dated April 30, “We are lucky to be working.”

It states the average school teacher in B.C. makes $89,000 a year.

Sure would like to know where this piece of misinformation originated.

In this district, a teacher with a Masters or PhD at maximum experience doesn’t get that much.

Do you have any stats on the average pay for plumbers, electricians, mechanics, lawyers or politicians?

A friend once gave me advice on averages, he said, “if you put one foot in boiling water and the other in ice water the average is just fine but how are your feet?”

Right now our provincial gov-

ernment is telling people they can’t afford to fund the public education system while funding independent schools.

Once upon a time independent schools were funded privately.

Surely the teachers can’t be held responsible for the closing of a Staples store?

Canadians used to have better manners than this.

Barb Simser Retired, West Chilcotin

Who does the gov’t work for?

Editor: The Conservatives promised a new way of doing business. Total transparency!

Mr. Harper travels the world in search of trade deals.

CETA had been approved in principle with the European Union.

Harper says the deal is good for Canada, but Canadians can’t see the details. When I contacted Dick Harris’s office in March to appear in Williams Lake to explain CETA, his executive assistant assured me Mr. Harris would be in town, and would raise the matter with him, and return my call.

I have heard nothing. It has been rumoured Mr. Harris lives in Kelowna. Who is he working for?

During the B.C. provincial election, any mention of the Site C dam “flew under the radar.”

LNG took centre stage! The province would become an energy

power broker, selling to the world.

Jobs will be abundant.

Five new LNG plants! But wait.

The B.C. government’s own figures in 2010 were the following: 12 per cent of B.C. natural gas production stays in B.C., about 33 per cent goes to the U.S. through pipelines to Chicago, and around 55 per cent goes to Alberta where the biggest industrial user is the Tar Sands.

Who is lining up to buy B.C. LNG? China hasn’t come knocking. Japan has invested billions to recover methane hydrate under its ocean floor. Only the energy company Petronas has expressed any interest. So far, B.C. wants to create “green” energy from Site C to power LNG production and ship gas to Alberta where it will be used to develop “dirty” energy and then move the bitumen through B.C. along Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipeline to Kitimat to be shipped overseas to China. Who is the B.C.

government working for?

Section 8 of the new BC Water Act gives the BC Oil and Gas Commission sole responsibility for granting energy companies shortterm leases to pump water from lakes and rivers. Other users such as municipalities and forestry must get permission for leases from the Water Stewardship Council. Already, hydraulic fracturing operations in northern B.C. are taking water from Williston Lake (the reservoir created by the WAC Bennett dam on the Peace River), with blessing of the province.

Is Site C to be used for domestic power or is the huge reservoir that will be created be used for industry: LNG fracking operations and tar sands development?

New Anahim Lake airport terminal officially open The Cariboo Regional District’s (CRD) new Anahim Lake Airport terminal was officially opened this morning.

The terminal was built with support from the Government of British Columbia’s Towns for Tomorrow program, the Government of Canada’s Gas Tax Fund, the Northern Development Initiative Trust, the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition and the CRD.

Letters aLways weLcome

“It’s hard not to be impressed by the completion of this project,” said Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett.

“These airport improvements enhance important transportation services for businesses and residents, and the energy efficient design of the new terminal building tremendously contributes to a healthier environment.

It’s a project that the B.C. Government is proud to support

with a $400,000 grant through the Towns for Tomorrow program.”

The terminal will be a valuable asset at the airport as it will serve the scheduled flight service, act as the airport office, and improve service levels for visitors, tourism operators, medical personnel, RCMP and other users.

During emergency events, the terminal will provide office space and a lounge area for use

by emergency personnel.

While the 900-square foot building was designed to be basic and functional, various energy efficiency upgrades were included in the construction to reduce long-term operating costs, as well as reduce the Regional District’s carbon footprint.

Because the Anahim Lake area is served by diesel-generated electricity, the carbon emissions reduction from the effi-

ciency upgrades is that much more significant.

It is expected the upgrades will provide an 80 per cent reduction in fossil fuel consumption and associated carbon emissions over the building systems.

By including the upgrades, the Regional District will be able to demonstrate the effectiveness of the construction techniques and materials in a rural and remote climate.

Emergency ward staff should be commended Folks who work in the emergency wards in our hospitals all deserve medals. Medals for being compassionate and caring in a job that is so demanding.

I received an interesting story of an ER nurse in Australia from a friend, Andrea O’Brien, an ER Nurse, also employed down under. Here is some of what she had to say regarding experiences in the Emergency Room.

“As I sit and reflect on my life, I find myself humbled. Humbled by the business that takes place all around me, the real fight for life and struggle against death, the palpable emotions of situations I often find myself in, and the incredible strength of those whom I work alongside. It’s the stuff movies are made of and it is truly amazing to watch.

“Working in an Emergency Department creates such an interesting outlook on

life.

“I think about my day, nothing out of the ordinary happened, nothing note worthy, nothing that any of us will probably ever remember. Just a typical shift at work. It was the normalcy of this day that in the end took me by surprise. You know, we all feel accomplished when we give TPA and watch as stroke symptoms improve before our eyes, when we catch sepsis early knowing that a mother will now one day leave the hospital and return home to her children, or we save a precious life after restarting a tiny beating heart.

“Everyone knows

the importance of that work, it can be seen and felt by anyone around.

It’s everything else that most often goes unnoticed. The real behind the scenes work that happens every minute.

“I was walking through our department yesterday and noticed a nurse standing at the bedside of a critically ill man. He was alone, intubated and sedated, but yet there she stood, just holding his hand. Reassuring him quietly that we were going to take good care of him and that his family was on the way. No one was there to praise her, the patient most certainly will not remember this gesture, but she was still there in that moment of need. Amazing. These fragile, yet resilient people who work all around me.

“For those of you who find themselves beside me in the trenches, thank you.

Her husband started the fund to brightened up the hospital grounds and this time around Beaver Valley Feeds gave the volunteers a good deal on the plants.

Board approved medical marijuana in heavy industrial zones Health authority capital funding approved The CCRHD Board approved an additional 2014/2015 capital funding request from Interior Health.

A total of $81,600, represents 40 per cent of the CCRHD’s share of the total cost of the replacement of picture archiving and communication systems in the Cariboo Chilcotin and Thompson Regional Hospital Districts.

Fifth Annual Emergency Preparedness Symposium On April 23, CRD Protective Services hosted the fifth Annual Emergency Preparedness Spring Symposium.

The Canadian weather model is forecasting above normal temperatures in July, August and

September, particularly for coastal BC. Precipitation is expected to be near normal for most of BC. The drought code numbers for the Chilcotin are high.

According to the presenters, the current snow pack is above average at the Upper Fraser, normal at Mid Fraser and below normal further south. The Nazko, Horsefly and Puntzi had normal snow packs over the winter, but due to slow melts are at above average for this time of year. Based on the winter snow pack, indications show this should be an average spring freshet.

Access Awareness Day The CRD Board of Directors declared June 7 as Access Awareness Day throughout the Cariboo Chilcotin. The an-

nual Access Awareness Day is organized by SPARC BC, who has been partnering with the Province of B.C. to call attention to the need for greater accessibility and inclusion of citizens with disabilities. This year’s event, being held on June 7, marks the 17th Annual Access Awareness Day and will be celebrated province wide under this year’s campaign of “Building Accessibility Together”.

Specified risk material Cariboo Regional District Board received information regarding the acceptance of beef specified risk material (SRM). Historically, the CRD has been of the understanding that beef cattle under 30 months of age were not considered SRM and could be accepted

at landfills and transfer stations without violating any Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulations.

Medicinal Marihuana in heavy industrial zones After considering input from five Public Hearings throughout the Cariboo Regional District, the Board gave third reading and adoption to bylaws that will allow Medical Marihuana Operations exclusively in Heavy Industrial zones throughout the region.

Fight with arthritis inspires woman to walk LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Likely resident and prospector Diana Mickle says that living with fibromyalgia has given her first-hand knowledge about the importance of social awareness when it comes to the pain and frustration of arthritis and related conditions.

When she first heard of the Walk to Fight Arthritis she said she decided to join the event in Prince George, and then realized that a better move would be to help organize one in Williams Lake.

Currently working to put the event together for June 8, she is inviting volunteers, sponsors and supporters to step up and get involved.

She explained that her goal is to help raise awareness and support for people living with arthritis, as well as conditions like chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia, which are described as arthritis-related.

It has been a frustrating experience for her, between the physical condition itself, what she describes as barriers in the medical profession and the loss of both livelihood and disability pension.

“They just recognized Fibromyalgia as a disability in the U.S. which is a huge step. The policy needs to be changed in Canada,” she said.

“The medical association needs to get on board with this, so that people living with it can get help from their doctor.”

Her first symptom was waking up and being paralyzed from the knees down and being unable to walk.

“My doctor kept sending me home with pain medications, saying it was ‘just’ arthritis.

Then it spread to my whole legs: it felt like biting, stinging worms crawling up and down my legs.

My doctor said I’d just have to live with it, and when Tylenol 3 quit working, sent me home with Oxycotin.”

She said that her condition is incredibly debilitating because it’s difficult to diagnose — symptoms shift and change.

Co-founder of Spanish Mountain Gold, she went from being very fit and healthy to nearly incapacitated.

“With all the pain and lack of medical answers came anxiety attacks and very high blood pressure. At one point an emergency room doctor told me to go home and do yoga.”

Her 88-year-old mother has to dress her and get her up in the morning on bad days.

Diana Mickle and her Blue Doberman named Kaytee are looking forward to the Walk to Fight Arthritis on June 8 in Williams Lake.

“I have days when I sleep 20 hours a day. Last summer I couldn’t go prospecting at all – I just took my walker to the lake to throw a stick for my dog,” she continued, adding that she recently sold her Jeep to buy food and medications.

Awareness is huge, according to Mickle, who said that it’s very common to be misunderstood by society.

“People think this is all mental, because I look healthy, because I eat and live healthy. I lost many friends because of misconceptions about my condition. People thought I moved away without saying goodbye, when in reality there were days on end when I couldn’t leave the house,” she said.

“With awareness, everything would change. There would be more information, education and understanding. There would be better diagnosis and treatment options.”

She also said that her mother, daughters, her church family, her dog and two cats are the reason she is still alive.

“My mom is an angel. She is Greek — she knows seven languages, walks two miles every day, studies and reads. She taught me about God all my life and would never hurt another person. “While working in a cigarette factory in Greece,

my mom wrote a note with her name and address stating that she’d like to come to Canada, and slipped it into a pack. Someone in Vancouver bought that pack and sent the information to the Vancouver Sun. A family in Powell River paid her way to come to Canada, sponsored her and eventually, her brother and sister,” Mickle continued.

“I come from people of courage and determination, and have looked after other people all my

Facts about arthritis According to the B.C. Yukon division of the Arthritis Society, there are more than 100 different kinds of arthritis, and anyone at any age can get it, including children.

Arthritis is the third most common chronic condition in British Columbians aged 15 years and older, and is the most chronic condition in Canadian women.

More than 4.6 million

Horsemanship clinic a success despite rain

The Salvation Army is in need of the following volunteers: Prep cooks, lunch-time servers, afternoon coffee servers, food room sorting.

Call 250-392-2423 or stop by 272 Borland Street for more information

Linda Lou Howarth Special to Tribune/Advisor Our annual cowboy horsemanship clinic was held in Kleena Kleene out in the beautiful Chilcotin country on this recent May long weekend.

In spite of the rain, the six ladies who signed up just put on drier clothes at each break; then went back and watched more of the clinic – not wanting to miss a move, they stuck it out.

The campfire was a little crowded with food and cooking and everyone gathered around to catch a few rays of heat and lots of smoke.

Meals were delicious, the coffee pot always boiling away and emptied fast. Breakfasts were handled quite well with Bill Lampert as chief cook, Monday morning had Ronya Wittwere and Jennifer Schuk mixing up yummy pancakes.

Eight horses were worked in the pen and rode by Bill Lampert and Matt Blezok, both hitting the ground by the same horse, but they climbed right back on.

Annett Wittwere was so happy with her purchase of Simba and

Millie, a mare recently acquired by Marc Satre was the one who dumped Bill and Matt and was a little calmer near the end as she was tacked up with a pack saddle and will be taken on a little trip later to pack four salt blocks for a few miles giving her something to do.

All in all it was a great weekend as we had a cowboy from Vanderhoof, one cowboy from the Dane Ranch; two riders from Kersley, one from 150 Mile House and six from Tatla Lake and area.

Our oldest guest of all Bill Harestead, a regular spectator from Bella Coola, came as usual and fun was had by all.

community Biosecurity plan for B.C. livestock A $613,050 investment by the governments of British Columbia and Canada is resulting in increased surveillance and preventative measures to stop livestock diseases from spreading to B.C., federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and B.C. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick announced today.

The funding provided to the BC Pork Producers Association results in immediate action to reduce the risk of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) arriving in B.C., and prepare measures to rapidly respond and contain the disease if it should ever enter the province.

The immediate action includes: • Implementing enhanced biosecurity efforts at the two facilities that handle pigs from within and from outside B.C., including livestock transport trucks and driver-sanitation measures.

• Two pork processing facilities and 21 porkproducing farms will be supported in developing response and containment plans to ensure rapid action should PED be found. In addition, enhanced auditing and application of national standards for on-farm biosecurity will be supported.

• The industry will cost-share any activities that include the purchase of equipment and/or costs for infrastructure associated with enhancing biosecurity.

PED is an extremely infectious and economically devastating pig disease that is new to Canada. The disease can be transmitted through animal feces among vehicles or equipment, and though harmless to people, results in a very high mortality in young piglets. To date, PED has not been found in B.C. The centre receives more than 5,000 animal samples of all varieties for diagnosis annually and is one of only three Canadian labs accredited as a veterinary diagnostic laboratory by the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians.

Last month the Province passed a new Animal Health Act, updating nearly 70-year-old

legislation, aimed at limiting the spread of current and emerging diseases like PED, and

better responding to potentially disastrous outbreaks. The funding announced today is from

the five-year Growing Forward 2 agreement, a $3-billion federal-provincial-territorial gov-

ernment investment in innovation, competitiveness and market development.

Cory Brunelle (middle) celebrates after winning the 2014 Peel Out Outlaw Invitational — a race which brought together the top finishers from the past five years of Peel Out.

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Saturday, May 24 and Sunday, May 25

Lakers Car Club Spring Roundup

Peel Out brings smiles despite slick weekend Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Under restless skies the 2014 Peel Out Mountain Bike Festival was another smashing success.

Saturday, the Outlaw Invitational brought together the top five finishers from the past five years of Peel Out for a battle to the finish on Fox Mountain.

“The weather was fitting for the event,” said Justin Calof, executive director with the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium. “A super steep course, almost no traction, and the tight sidehill may put this course one run above the last World Cup in Caires, Australia.”

Three classes — elite men, junior and open women — competed for the title.

The elite men’s division was won by Cory Brunelle in a time of two minutes and 22 seconds, however, first to last place was separated by just five seconds.

“It was greasy [out there],” Brunelle said, who’s won the last four Peel Outs. “Lots of rain, but just ran it out and slid around — went flat out.”

In the women’s class Britany Methot was the winner in two minutes and 55 seconds.

The junior division title was claimed by Sandy Thompson in two minutes and 32 seconds.

The following day, the Super Enduro took centre stage, beginning and ending in Boitanio Park.

Bryon Black was the winner, completing the three-stage race in 16 minutes and 26 seconds.

Black said, despite the rain, the weekend was a blast.

“There were smiles on everyone,” Black said.

“It [the Super Enduro] was a social ride so during the transfers [to other stages] everyone was riding with people they don’t normally ride with, so lots of conversation and a good time. Traction was actually pretty good. The weather really wasn’t that bad.”

Also planned for Sunday was a Boitanio Bike Park Jump Jam, however, the event will be rescheduled due to the rain.

On May 24 and 25 the Lakers Car Club is hosting its 20th Annual Spring Roundup.

Saturday’s events kick off at noon in the Tourism Discovery Centre parking lot where the club will be taking pre-registration for Sunday’s Show ‘n’ Shine.

Every pre-registered vehicle is then eligible to participate in the Lakers Poker Run which starts at 1 p.m.

At 5 p.m. at the Laughing Loon Restaurant staff will be serving up a steak or chicken barbecue on their outdoor patio. Sunday morning, the main event — the Show ‘n’ Shine — takes centre stage on Third Avenue.

Monday, May 26 to Sunday, June 1 Bike to Work and School Week

On Sunday night, the Peel Out Party, featuring Drum and Bell Tower and Vancouver’s Redeye Empire, closed out the festival.

“It’s Peel Out weekend,”

Brunelle said. “It is what it is — good stuff.”

I am going to run an individual marathon on June 7 starting at noon in Boitanio Park to help raise money for the ‘Walk for ALS.’ The ‘Walk for ALS’ is a fundraising effort to fight ALS, fund research and find a cure for this devastating disease.

Nearly 90 per cent of people with ALS die within five years of diagnosis. While some live longer, others die within a few short months. Because it acts so quickly, it is difficult to research and study.

I became involved with fundraising for ALS when my brother Ron contracted the disease and succumbed within two years.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, ALS, is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, after the famous American baseball player who died of ALS in 1941.

ALS is a progressive and ultimately fatal neuromuscular disease, which has no known cause, cure or drug therapy of consequence.

Individuals who are diagnosed with ALS do not typically survive beyond three to five years. This devastating disease slowly robs the individual of the ability to walk, talk, and

Leo Rankin ultimately, to breathe.

I will run the paved loop in Boitanio Park which is slightly over a kilometer long.

So I will have to complete approximately 42 loops within the park in order to fulfill the marathon distance of 42.2 kilometers.

There will be a table at the start of the run manned by a volunteer where donors can come and make a donation towards supporting the fight against ALS. If anyone wants to run along with me for a loop or two, they are welcome to join me.

The actual ‘Walk for ALS’ is scheduled for the following week on June 14 beginning at 10 a.m.

I was intending to run my individual marathon on June 14 prior to the actual start of the ‘Walk for ALS’, but I have day surgery scheduled for June 12 and don’t think I will be ready for a marathon for a few weeks.

Please help raise money to find a cure for this devastating disease and support those living with ALS and their families in our community.

The web link to make a donation on the ALS website can be found below.

Come join me on June 7 or come join the walk for ALS on June 14. For more information on ALS, please visit www.als.ca. or to register for the walk in Williams Lake, please go to www.walkforals. ca.

Rankin completes 50-kilometre Dirty Feet Trail Run On May 4 Rankin completed a 25-kilometre Dirty Feet Trail Run in Kalamalka Provincial Park just outside of Vernon.

He finished first in his age class (60-69) and ninth overall in the men’s category.

His time was 2:47:26 which placed him at least 30 minutes ahead of the next competitor in his age group.

This race is part of the Dirty Feet trail run series sponsored by North Face.

Rankin would have run the Vancouver Marathon but obligations for the “Spring Fling” competition in

Kamloops with the Williams Lake Pipe Band, for which he is a novice piper, precluded running in Vancouver without having to drive all night. However, Vernon is only an hour and a half from Kamloops so an early morning arousal from a warm bed allowed him to get to Vernon by the 8 a.m. registration period.

The race was a single 25-km loop with 1,100 metres of elevation gain and loss.

The course was composed of park access roads, regular hiking trails and single track trails within the park.

It rained throughout the whole race and trails were sometime incredibly steep with slippery rocky wet conditions.

Although the trails were tough, they were also fun and challenging and were extremely well marked with flags and arrows.

At the finish there’s great food waiting such as organic bananas and oranges, sweet and salty snacks and water and recovery drinks. He had the choice of completing 50-km (two 25-km loops) but fortuitously decided to only run one tough lap. If he can stay healthy, he plans to complete one or two more trail runs this summer.

Lake City Falcons continue to soar Juniors bring home another win for LCSS girls rugby team Michélyn Whitford and Skye Forcier Special to Tribune/Advisor Last Thursday the Lake City Falcons junior girls rugby team (grade 8-10s) traveled down to 100 Mile House to face the Eagles, coming away with a 20-5 win.

The 100 Mile House team was short players, so the LCSS squad lent them four players.

Junior captains Emma Pfliederer and Laura Pfliederer (twins) guided the relatively unexperienced team.

During the second half Laura played for

100 Mile House, scoring their only try.

Pfleiderer also scored for the Falcons in the first half.

Other tries were scored by Emma Feldinger, Ayme Desmond and Alexandra Weiland.

The girls all played great and are showing an understanding of the game and a lot of potential.

Everything was good fun and all the girls enjoyed playing time as we were short of substitutions.

Some of the younger girls have also been chosen to accompany the senior team to the

15-a-side provincial championships this week.

This will be a wrap for the season until the new school year starts.

The rugby girls were presented the first banner and trophy won for Lake City Secondary School Tuesday.

The girls leave Wednesday morning for the B.C. High School Girls Rugby Association Provinciaal Championships in Port Alberni.

They are ranked fifth in the AA division, and will play No. 4, Brentwood College, on Thursday at 1:30 p.m.

Lake City Falcons junior girls co-captain Laura Pfleiderer tears through the defence during a game in 100 Mile House last week.

Falcons qualify for golf provs The Lake City Falcons golf team will likely tee off at the provincial championships.

The Falcons played at the ‘AAA’ zone championships two weekends ago against Prince George secondary at the Williams Lake Golf

and Tennis Club.

“PGSS can’t go to provs — same weekend as [their] grad — so if we can raise enough to fund the trip we will be going to Squamish on May 25-26 for ‘AAA’ provincials,” said Falcons golf coach Laura

Storoschuk.

Prince George’s Blair Scott fired a high-score 77, while teammate Quinn Ferris shot an 81.

The Falcons’ Mitchell LaBossiere matched Ferris’s score, also shooting 81. Justin Bond, meanwhile, shot

an 82, while Colton Thomas recorded a 90.

Darien Grace shot a 102, and Chase DuBois shot a 123.

Owen Powers, Danika Robson — who was the only girl in the field — and Spencer Neufeld also played.

Other options include a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and rear door window blinds. Driver-assist safety technologies are also available in abundance for those who like the car to do some thinking for them.

The new Genesis is also a statement of intent: it heralds what will be the look of the seven new less-premium Hyundai products expects to grace our showrooms before 2016.

When it comes to driving, it’s really a tale of two cars. The top-of-the-line model offers a big V8 5-litre power plant, with 420 horses at its disposal.

Ironically, it’s best enjoyed jogged along at low speed on the highway, where it has the feel of an old-fashioned big family sedan. (It’s not a lot of fun on the twisting lakeside roads of the Okanagan.)

Cars destined for the Canadian market will come with an all-new HTRAC

active wheel drive (AWD) system. Says Hyundai: “Performance of the vehicle’s all-new platform was validated in some of the world’s most demanding driving environments, including Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife and Korea’s Yeongam Formula 1 racing circuit.”

The large variety of proving grounds offered by the northern Okanagan was much more appealing to me. And especially so in the car equipped with the 311 horsepower, 3.8-litre GDI V6 engine. Flipping between the Normal, Eco and Sport modes and tapping the gear-changing paddles on the steering wheel made for an enjoyable drive. Little lean in the corners and sprightly up hill.

Both engines are coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a SHIFTRONIC manual mode.

The base price is $43,000, $48,000 gets you the Luxury version, and $53,000 loads up the tech features. If you want the V8, get ready to spend $62,000. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

It’s big, it’s heavy,it’s light on fuel

The all-new, third generation 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD.

‘‘

It is competent, potent and a fabulous sport utility vehicle even in Eco Mode where the fun is a little bit restricted.

Alexandra Straub

’’

By Alexandra Straub

The all-new, third generation 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD tips the scale at 2,200 kg (4,850 lbs.)

It’s not a svelte vehicle.

Inside, this Highlander can carry up to seven passengers.

It’s not a cramped vehicle.

And behind the third row of seats, there’s a cargo capacity of 385L. It’s an accommodating vehicle.

So when I knew that I’d be logging more than 1,000 kilometres in a week, perhaps you’d think I’m a little crazy to want to take this (relatively) heavy and large SUV along for the ride.

Normally, I would too.

But there’s a word in its name that made me want to take this beauty of a beast for the long haul: Hybrid.

As I entered the Flaxen (aka beige) adorned cabin, I reached for the “Eco Mode” button underneath

the redesigned centre stack. I gave that a push.

The Eco mode is a feature that lessens the throttle response in an effort to help save fuel. You can still do all your normal daily driving duties, it just helps you keep money where it should be: in your wallet. And keeps the fuel where it should be: in the tank.

Granted, in Eco Mode, it doesn’t give you the peppy acceleration you might like. Then again, if prompt acceleration is what you’re after, skip the Eco Mode and that’s exactly what you’ll get.

Whether I was driving in the city or on the highway, the Highlander has a smoothness to it that makes me love being behind the wheel. It cruis-

es effortlessly atop the pavement and makes the driver and passengers feel at ease. Especially when you know you’re going the distance.

I even had one passenger say to me, “If we were in here any longer, I could’ve fallen asleep! It’s so comfortable.”

Good thing they weren’t driving.

The suspension is composed of front Macpherson struts and a rear double wishbone type, trailing arms set up.

Toyota gets an A+ for ride comfort. And it’s arguably one of the best in its class.

Aiding in establishing a serene setting is a host of creature comforts like heated front seats, a heated steering wheel,

second row captain’s chairs, easy access to the third row, keyless entry, navigation, an 8-inch touchscreen and much more.

We’ve already established its size, and while it fits up to seven, it doesn’t feel that big to drive. Sure, you need to make sure you watch its width but manoeuvring it around in parking lots isn’t a chore at all. Thanks to its rack and pinion-type, electric power steering, you can move around graciously.

Though this is not my first hybrid SUV that I’ve tested, I am always excited to see how well these machines perform in regards to fuel economy.

After all, there’s a 3.5L, V6 engine under the

hood, which is then matched with an electric motor, a Sealed Nickel-Metal Hydride battery and an Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT). The result is a net 280 horsepower. There’s also a 1,587 kg (3,500 lbs.) towing capacity.

Looking at the estimated fuel results, it’s rated at 6.8L/100km in the city and 7.2L/100km on the highway. Keep in mind the aforementioned stats about its size and weight and those numbers are really impressive.

My real world numbers?

A combined average of 8.9L/100km. Not bad. Not bad at all. Most of my driving was done on the highway so the hybrid system doesn’t have a chance to run off electricity alone at those speeds.

Oh, and it’s all-wheel drive. Sun or snow, this SUV is ready for it all.

With fuel prices hovering around the $1.50/litre mark, the more kilometres I can get out of a tank, the better. And the Highlander Hybrid made me a very happy gal.

The conclusion: The 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD is competent, potent and a fabulous sport utility vehicle even in Eco Mode where the fun is a little bit restricted.

The MSRP for the 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD is $52,695.

The good old bad old days of four-wheeling

Automatic fourwheel-drive was achieved by asking your passenger to step out and lock the front hubs.

By Ian Harwood

Luxury and hi-tech systems abound in the 4x4s that show up in the local media test fleets.

When I stepped out of one of the more loaded examples the other I got to thinking about yesteryear.

Some might refer to them as the good old days – judge for yourself. I remember – not that long ago – four wheeling in a truck when the standard transmission shifter was so loose, you didn’t know you were in gear or neutral.

Anti-lock brakes were when you lost your master cylinder to a stick, while (independently minded)

KBB.com editors compiled a list of the most efficient vehicles available and then picked 10 standouts featuring a variety of price ranges and powertrains.

The list also takes into account production methods and recyclability, and the editors try to seek vehicles appropriate for varying lifestyles.

The third-generation Prius model became the foundation of a family of hybrid

models, offering a Prius for every lifestyle, the family includes the larger Prius v, the city-friendly Prius c and the Prius Plug-in Hybrid. In addition, Toyota also offers hybrid versions of its Camry sedan and the Highlander crossover SUV.

used to sleep in the back of their trucks. However, I remember one time after a long day of four-wheeling pulling into an open area by a river where I found a nice sandy mound. With the aid of my flash light I quickly spread the sand out with my arms making a flat area in which to put my tent. It was about 5:30 am when I first noticed the red ants crawling all around my sleeping bag.

power steering kicked in when you hit the corner of a rock so hard it ripped the steering wheel out of your hand and if you weren’t carful your thumb as well.

Traction control came in the shape of new tires. Automatic four-wheel-drive was achieved by asking your passenger to step out and lock the front hubs.

The parking brake was a log shoved under the rear tire. Soft suspension meant your shocks were blown. Off-road suspension meant you spent more time hitting the roof with your head and back than you actually spent on the seat, which if you were lucky had some remaining padding still in it. Your seat belts would tighten up on every bump and if you didn’t stop you would be suffocated.

You would be lucky if your radio would bring in a few channels on the AM band only! And the CB radio might just reach the driver in front of you.

Wheel articulation really indicated your leaf spring was broken in half. Air conditioning was driving

big deal until I saw many climbing the side of the tent. I quickly climbed out of my tent to discover the soft sandy mound I found was actually a giant anthill.

The vehicles of today have the capabilities of descending steep hills without even putting your foot on the brake and you could disconnect your sway bar end links to allow for more articulation. Ability to stop on a hill without rolling back

is nice. Comfortable seats are really an improvement, especially on long trips.

Although we can’t relive the past, it’s important to remember technology is there to help us. There is no replacement for common sense, so don’t let your truck drive you, drive it and be safe.
