Rafters and kayakers float down scenic Quesnel Lake during the 23rd Annual Unlikely Paddlefest during the weekend. More than 100 paddlers from across the province and from around the world came to take part in the event, which was a huge success. Residents, as well as paddlers in Likely, said it was an uplifting gathering for the community, despite the Mount Polley Mine tailings pond breach in August.

Human remains discovered in Likely Amidst the hustle and bustle of the 23rd annual Unlikely Paddlefest, law enforcement officers converged on the small community

of Likely Friday to investigate the discovery of human remains.

Investigators from the Williams Lake RCMP, North District Ma-

jor Crime Unit and the BC Coroners Service have been on the scene of a property in Likely throughout the weekend searching for answers.

“As our investigation remains ongoing no further comment is available at this time,” police said regarding the discovery.

Opposition presses Liberals on mine breach Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Fifty days into the Mount Polley Mine breach, tourism operators are wondering where the government is, NDP leader John Horgan said.

“If you google Quesnel Lake, you are going to get pages and pages of pictures of the disaster,” Horgan told the Tribune Tuesday after spending Monday touring the mine and meeting with tourism operators in the region.

“Eco-tourism operators are very concerned that the government is not responding to their request for bridge financing so they can start marketing the place again.”

Horgan had visited Likely the day after the mine breach to make connections, and decided it was time to get back there and see how

“We are going to have to tell the story of the Cariboo and the wilderness experiences available there,” Horgan said, but emphasized it cannot be about putting a new face on a

bad day.

The day after the tailings breach Horgan asked the government for all documentation about the mine and said the opposition has yet to receive anything, other than a copy of

Teachers ink six-year deal Staff Writer Black Press B.C. teachers voted strongly in favour of a six-year agreement and started back to work this week.

In Williams Lake, that means upwards of 1,000 teachers and support staff were on the job and thousands of students and parents readied themselves for back to school.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation members voted 86 per cent in favour of the six-year agreement negotiated with the help of mediator Vince Ready last week.

About three out of four of the province’s 40,000 teachers voted.

“I’m happy with this

deal,” said BCTF president Jim Iker.

It gives the province’s teachers raises totalling 7.25 per cent over six years, improvements to benefits and a fund to hire hundreds of new teachers each year.

Iker said the turnout for the vote was higher than the union’s last two ratification votes.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender congratulated teachers on the settlement, which ended a bitter strike that shut schools for two weeks in June and another three weeks this fall.

“We can now focus on the path forward,” Fassbender said. “This long-term agreement is an historic opportunity

to work together for students — to enhance their education experience and to support their achievements.”

Premier Christy Clark added her thanks on Twitter.

“This is a fair, affordable deal that will let us focus on putting students first,” Clark said.

The finance ministry is preparing to send out compensation of $40 per lost student day to parents of students up to age 12.

One-time payments are expected to be sent out in October to eligible parents who registered at bcparentinfo. ca.

“Even the privacy commissioner said quite clearly if health and safety are in question government has a responsibility to release

the information,” Horgan said. “The consequences of the failure will have an impact for years to come and the government needs to be there doing something.

“We’ve heard nothing but powerful plati-

tudes and nothing from government about what’s going to happen with the mine in the future.

“We are all concerned about the livelihoods of the people who work there and the

surrounding communities.”

Katrine Conroy, NDP spokesman on Interior Economic Development, said everyone she talks to in B.C. who is involved with mining industry has told her the Mount Polley Mine breach puts the entire industry back years.

“Everything is being delayed and people are asking what’s happening with the mine in their backyard?” she said. “People have concerns that mines need to be run safely. This shouldn’t have happened.”

Horgan, along with Conroy, and Stephen Hunt, director of United Steelworkers Union District 3, were on the tour with Imperial Metals vice-president of corporate affairs Steve Robertson and saw work that’s been done at the site to mitigate the breach.

Outreach worker seeks seat on council Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Homeless outreach worker Wayne Lucier said it’s time to run for city council and at the top of his wish list for Williams Lake is affordable housing and more jobs for people in need.

“If you don’t have a place to live, it’s hard to get a job,” Lucier said sitting at his desk at Canadian Mental Health Friday. “Or if a person gets hurt on the job, then they cannot afford to live where they are.”

The average cost of an affordable place in the city is $600 and if a single person on social assistance is receiving $610 a month that doesn’t leave them much.

“We are lucky to have the Salvation Army and

Wayne Lucier St. Vincent de Paul,” he said.

“Williams Lake is caring, but not caring enough or not in the right places.”

He will be pushing for the new swimming pool, and recalled working in Fort St. John when the new pool opened there.

“I couldn’t believe how busy it was,” he said. “A new pool would give people in our town

more things to do. Boredom is an enemy and even the working poor are having a hard time.”

He’ll also advocate for better care for seniors and an improved downtown core, he said.

People living in the core of the city do most things by foot and cannot afford a taxi to haul home three or four bags of groceries.

When it comes to developing the economy, Lucier said the region has to look beyond forestry and mining in ways that protect the environment.

Lucier moved to Williams Lake in 1973 along with around 35 people from his hometown of Roblin, Man. “We came out to work in mills, in the bush and do whatever. Some guys got hired with BC Tel too,” he recalled

saying most of the guys only had a Grade 7 or 8 education.

They worked for 40 years, running every type of equipment, and were very good employees, he added.

“People didn’t need Grade 12 to put in those years so I have a problem now with companies saying people need to have graduated from high school.”

Lucier is Metis and has been president of the Cariboo-Chilcotin Metis Association and on the Provincial B.C. Metis Federation as well.

“I’ll be stepping down from the provincial association next week to focus on running for council,” he said.

He has created a Facebook page and encourages people to contact him there.

NEWS Public asked to track salmon

Salmon season

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Angie Mindus photo

Salmon continue to spawn in many of the local rivers, including the Horsefly River.

DFO responds to mine breach The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is supporting the efforts to respond to the Mount Polley Mine tailings breach confirmed DFO’s regional director Stu Cartwright.

“We have our science, habitat, conservation and protection measures staff involved and are continuing to play a supportive role as the province is taking the lead with respect to response,” Cartwright said from his Kamloops office.

Cartwright also confirmed that a DFO stock assessment crew continues to monitor the salmon run, and has been working out of Likely since Aug. 14 doing enumeration programs and will remain working there

until the middle of October.

While it is too early to give specifics, the sockeye are returning in “good numbers,” to the Quesnel and Horsefly Rivers, Cartwright said.

“The Fraser River Panel is looking at the Quesnel run of a catch plus escapement of 2.2 to 2.25 million as of earlier this week.”

On Wednesday, Sept.

10, 6,000 salmon had arrived at the Horsefly River upper spawning channel, he added.

“We’re expecting hundreds to follow, probably a million and a half. There’s going to be a lot of fish.”

Cartwright said Hazeltine Creek, which received severe damage from the mine tailings spill, did support sockeye and coho in the past, however, not consistently and not in

big numbers.

Some years beaver dams blocked the creek or other naturally-occurring factors resulted in the fish going elsewhere.

Coho will stray more than other species, he explained.

They will return to their natal system but may spawn in other systems within the general geographic area.

Sockeye can do the same but not as commonly.

“So far it’s too preliminary to notice how the fish are adapting to the spill,” he said, adding based on the test results and fish flesh sampling there’s nothing to suggest anything outside the levels for human consumption.

“There is a lot of effort going into understanding the immediate and longterm impacts of the spill.”

Interested in tracking sockeye salmon movement through Quesnel Lake?

The University of Northern BC is inviting the public to help monitor sockeye salmon in Quesnel Lake.

“Anyone with a boat, a sounder or fish finder and a little spare time can help track sockeye salmon movement through Quesnel Lake and into Horsefly Bay,” the Quesnel River Research Centre noted in a statement. “We are specifically interested at which depth sockeye are migrating through Quesnel Lake to determine if they are migrating through the plume associated with the Mt. Polley tailings pond breach. Heavy metals in the water column can impact a salmon’s ability to navigate to their spawning streams.”

People interested in this effort are asked to collect the following information.

The location where you are tracking the

We are thankful to our customers

fish, with the latitude and longitude coordinates.

The maximum and minimum depth at which you do or don’t see fish, the time of day you are collecting this information, the name of the person collecting the information and a photograph of the fish finder if possible.

“Remember that to accurately see fish, boats must be drifting or trolling at slow speeds,” the notice said.

“Sockeye will be scared off if you approach them too quickly.”

As the sockeye are migrating right now, this is critical information to collect.

Fish migrating up the lake are likely to hug the shoreline (within a hundred meters or so), most likely the south shore, as they move up the west basin, so that is the first place to look for them.

Anyone who is able to help or who has any questions is encouraged to contact Sam Alberts either by e-mail Samuel.

ome hurrahs and boos today.

Hurrahs: • Schools are open.

• Thanks to Arts booster Willie Dye, Williams Lake has declared itself Mural Capital of the Cariboo. Great idea. Sure beats Crime Capital. I was worried we were becoming the Empty Storefront Capital.

• That enough people are interested in city politics to ensure elections for mayor and councillors. Let’s hope that interest extends to school board as well.

• Relations between province and both First Nations and teachers seem to be on the upswing.

• Last but not least, the weather was warmer (hotter?) than expected in the last days of summer, putting most of us in a good mood.

Boos: • B’nai Brith has nominated Prime French Minister SteConnection phen Harper for Diana French the Nobel Peace Prize. Mr. Harper may be, as Wayne Gretzky claims, the best PM ever, but the Peace Prize?

• Mr. Harper again. He’s approved the controversial Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPPA), effective Oct. 1. This deal scares many Canadians as it allows Chinese companies who own so many of our resources to sue the Canadian government if it does anything that threatens those companies’ profits. It may be a wonderful deal for us, but if it isn’t, 31 years is a long time to be stuck with it.

• Maybe a boo boo. Back in the 1970s, when North American Aboriginals began standing up for their rights, the RCMP claimed “Indians” were the biggest threat to Canadian security (we didn’t use the word terrorists back then.)

The RCMP was wrong. Canadian First Nations chose peaceful protests and the courts to win their point.

According to a report recently released under Access to Information, the Mounties are now warning government and industry that “environmental extremists” pose a “clear and present criminal threat” to Canada’s energy sector, and are more likely to strike at critical infrastructure than religiously inspired terrorists. Hopefully they’re wrong again.

Participants in this year’s BC SPCA Williams Lake Branch Paws for a Cause, including several miniature ponies and their owners, helped the local SPCA raise $8,242 so far, with donations still coming in. BC SPCA Williams Lake Branch manager Liz Dighton said it was a fantastic day and a perfect weekend.

Our Viewpoint

Consider standing up for others The candidates are beginning to step up and we applaud them one and all.

Several people — incumbents, former councillors and mayors and newbies alike – have already stated they are running for seats in their respective communities.

They are willing to put their names on the line and commit to four years of public service for nominal pay and much more than nominal accountability.

Of the three levels of government – municipal, provincial and federal – local is the most accountable and most involved in our daily life, thus often the toughest and most criticized of all.

However, it’s also an opportunity to make a difference in your community and instead of just criticizing city hall from a distance, it’s about getting your hands dirty and doing some of the heavy lifting that’s necessary to get a community running to the best of its ability.

It’s obviously not for everyone, especially the thin-skinned or the faint of heart, but it’s also vitally important and central to our ability to live quality lives on a dayto-day basis.

And we encourage anyone thinking of taking the plunge into civic politics to please do so and allow voters a choice in who governs us over the next four years.

There’s still plenty of time as nomination documents are now available at your respective community’s civic offices and papers can be filed starting at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30 and up until Friday, Oct. 10.

Further information can be obtained by contacting your respective election officers and you too can be on your way to offering your neighbours a choice in leadership come Nov. 15. It’s time for you to consider standing up with those who have done it before and continue to lead the way.

iteracy is fundamental for people to cultivate opportunities, develop confidence, and increase productivity by enhancing personal, family and community life. It’s never too late to learn.

The Community Adult Literacy Program (CALP) helps adults improve their reading, writing and numeracy. It provides resources for community based programs that meet the needs of adults who want to improve their literacy levels for personal, employment, and educational reasons. CALP provides funding towards not-for-profit community groups to offer free literacy training projects. These projects are designed to suit the needs of Aboriginal learners, young parents and other adults, and MLA are delivered by Musings trained volunteers though one-to-one Donna Barnett tutoring or small group classes.

Each community organization that delivers a CALP project partners with a public post-secondary institution in their region such as the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy Society partnering with Thompson Rivers University.

These community-based literacy partnerships help adult learners gain confidence and build the learning foundation they need to follow their dreams, pursue advanced education, and take their place in the skilled workforce of today and the future. We are committed to ensuring adults in B.C. have the adult education opportunities needed to fulfill their educational, employment and life goals. This year approximately $2.4 million is being distributed towards 83 CALP projects in communities throughout B.C. It is expected 9,000 adult learners will be helped through the projects.

By improving reading and writing skills, adult learners gain access to a whole new world of possibilities, skills and experience, and support in finding rewarding careers.

Literacy is a catalyst for opportunity and opens doors and I hope you join me in offering support and encouragement to all who wish to improve their literacy skills. Literacy is a gift that everyone, no matter what their age, should have the opportunity to possess.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Where is justice for wildlife?

Editor: On Sept. 13, two frightened bear cubs ran into my backyard off of 12th Avenue, followed by two police cars in my driveway, one blocking off my street, another in the parking lot of the home behind our house, and two conservation officers.

I witnessed both of these cubs being shot in my yard as the police told me to get inside or I could be arrested for obstructing justice.

My question is: what justice

was being done to these animals?

This is not the fault of the Conservation Officer who had to pull the trigger on these two cubs and their mother.

It is the residents of the communities surrounding 11th and 12th avenues who don’t clean up after themselves who are to blame.

Apples and berries, lie rotten on the ground — a perfect meal for bears.

By not picking the fruit in their yards residents are invit-

ing wildlife into our neighborhood and the animals are the ones suffering the consequences.

I urge residents to start paying attention and pick up the fruit laying all over yards.

If residents can’t accept the responsibility to keep this community (including its wildlife) safe, then maybe they should have those trees removed from their property.

Premier takes bucket list trip Editor: On Sept. 10 B.C. Premier Christy Clark visited the Nemiah Valley to sign a Letter of Understanding with the Tsilhqot’in chiefs.

She was accompanied by ten people.

They arrived in Williams Lake in a chartered aircraft and were ferried to the Nemiah

Valley by two waiting seven seat helicopters from Williams Lake.

Why was the second helicopter necessary?

Was it to provide some people with the opportunity to cross a visit to the beautiful Nemiah Valley off their bucket lists?

All at the taxpayers expense.

What did this second heli-

copter trip for the Premier cost the taxpayers of British Columbia?

Is it possible that B.C. has its own version of former Alberta Premier Alison Redford?

Perhaps the Premier’s October visit to India will tell us more.

Chamber Chatter: October is seniors’ month Welcome to our newest members: Big Canyon Rafting and Royal Canadian Legion. We look forward to seeing you at the General Meeting.

Oct. 1 is National Seniors Day, an occasion to honour and celebrate seniors for their valuable contributions to society as leaders, mentors, and role models. We invite businesses to help celebrate seniors in their workplaces and communities. For example, you could offer a seniors’ price discount, create a storefront display, or lead an event to shine a spotlight on the seniors who are actively engaged in or around your work-

Letters aLways weLcome

CHAMBER CHATTER place. We encourage everyone to be involved. National Seniors Day builds on many other measures introduced by the Government of Canada, including the commitment to support the well-being and quality of life of seniors by providing them with the information they need to remain active, engaged and informed. To further demonstrate this commitment, the seniors. gc.ca website has been recently

redeveloped with new resources for seniors, including the new Information for Caregivers portal that brings together a variety of federal, provincial/territorial and municipal resources about relevant programs and benefits. And more recently, the Government of Canada collaborated with more than 22 federal departments and agencies to create the Government of Canada Action for Seniors report, which will provide an overview of various Government of Canada programs and initiatives that are helping seniors.

This report will be released soon and made available online at se-

niors.gc.ca. Some ideas included thanking a senior’s ongoing contribution in your workplace, displaying posters to mark the day, or having an event using the Doit-Yourself Guide found at seniors. gc.ca. The guide also includes sample event products such as a news release, media advisory, speech, and messages for social media and radio.

We invite members to attend our General Meeting luncheon Thursday, Sept. 25 from 11:45 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Signal Point Restaurant.

Chamber meetings provide members with the opportunity to meet other businesses and talk about

what affects them most. We ask that you help us and the restaurant to RSVP by Tuesday Sept. 23 to 250-392-5025.

Cost for lunch is $16 for members and non-members are welcome. Members are encouraged to enter one of our draws and your business could be profiled compliments of the Williams Lake Tribune and Cariboo Country and the Goat.

Our guest speaker this month is Trevor Barnes, Executive Director of the Central Interior Rural Division of Family Practice (CIRD).

arts & life

• arts • culture • entertainment

Station House features The Art of Reconciliation about reconciliation going, said Anne Burrill, one of the show’s facilitators and the city’s manager of social development.

Burrill said art is a powerful medium and often draws people in who might not normally engage in a conversation about residential schools and reconciliation.

When Burrill approached the gallery, asking if there was interest in an art show on residential schools and reconciliation, she was given the go-ahead.

A call went out for First Nations and nonFirst Nations artists to participate in a facilitated workshop in May where the history of residential schools and colonization was explored.

“We talked about what reconciliation is and means,” she recalled. “We asked people to go away and create art based on their experience of the workshop.”

Six weeks later participants returned to share thoughts, ideas and art, and were encouraged to submit art work for the show.

The workshop and process of learning

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A self-portrait depicts Lisa Anderson wearing a white dress standing in a clearing near Riske Creek where her father’s ashes were buried in 1998.

In the photograph she watches a white balloon float away up into the air.

Her piece is about letting go and is part of The Art of Reconciliation, an art show on display at the Station House upper gallery until Sept. 27.

Anderson was eight years old when her father died and all these years later she wonders if she lost him because of residential school.

“My dad was adopted, but I only found out who is real mother was in January, four years after she had died,” Anderson said.

“He was from Soda Creek and I’ve been trying to reconnect with a disconnected past because I’ve realized I lost my culture.”

After the St. Joseph Mission Residential School Commemorative Project in 2013, many involved were wondering how to keep the conversation

were very powerful, she said, adding many told her they experienced personal growth.

“Artists I talked to told me they were immersed in the topic for weeks and months afterwards,” Burrill said. “I think everyone learned from it.”

Burrill created a piece as well.

Sheila Dick, health administrator at White Feather Family Centre in Canim Lake, facilitated the workshop, sharing her 20 years of experience working with residential school survivors.

“I wasn’t prepared for the things that came up because I’ve been working on this for so long,” Dick said, explaining how she couldn’t create a piece of art work herself because there was too much turmoil and she was afraid of what might materialize.

Instead she submitted a buckskin jacket her mother had made for her when she was seven years old.

“I realized how much that jacket meant to me,” Dick recalled. “I wore it with a little crown when I rode in the Williams Lake Stampede Pa-

rade.”

Dick’s mother died the next year.

Half of the participants in the workshop were First Nations and the other half were not.

“I am 59 years old and am still realizing there are people who don’t know about the residential school experience,” she said.

“It’s not a bad thing, they just don’t know.”

She felt all of the participants developed great respect for each other and admitted she had them participating immediately to get them talking to each other.

They had to make a self portrait to introduce themselves.

They watched a video created by youth from Canoe Creek, and then participated in small group discussions.

Echoing Burrill, Dick said it was just as much about the process as it was about the art.

In the end only four of 10 First Nations participants created

art and Dick was left wondering if they felt the same way as she did.

“We don’t want to leave people hanging so we will be bringing everyone back together to ask them how they are feeling now,” Dick said.

“Art can be a trigger and we don’t want walking wounded.”

First Nations people need to celebrate the talents and abilities they received from their parents because they have survived for thousands of years because of creativity and natural abilities, she added.

If one message emerges from the show Dick hopes it will emphasize how important it is that women and children become a priority again.

“We live in a province that has the second highest rate of child poverty and you know, some of our youth are involved in gangs because they are looking for a place to belong.”

Ken Brissard, five-year members Keith Jones, Glen Ford, Robert Crosina, new recruits Michael Olson and William De Vuyust during a ceremony at city hall Thursday where new members were inducted and others recognized for service. members.

The new recruits have been out volunteering about four months already and many said they love the ride-alongs.

“I really like the camaraderie with the regular RCMP members,” Michael Olson said.

“I grew up here and decided I wanted to help out and I’ll see if law enforcement is what I want to do.”

“It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I first moved to Williams Lake 13 and a half years ago,” said Corwyn Smid. “I’ve worked as a noon-hour supervisor at Cataline elementary school, I’ve been a youth pastor and coached hockey and soccer with three

different teams because I have three boys.”

Gino D’Appolinia presently works at Gibraltar Mines and has been in Williams Lake steadily since 2010.

He joined the auxiliary program to help make a difference and to see what policing is all about.

“My plan is to become a regular member and hopefully one day I will,” he said.

William De Vuyst said it’s always been his passion to help people in his community.

“I’m with the Wildwood Fire Department,” he said, adding he tries to do anything he can to make the community stronger.

Auxiliaries don’t receive any pay and have

to volunteer a minimum of 160 hours.

“The vast majority go well over that,” said Staff Sgt. Ken Brissard, who has accepted the position of watch commander for the Nanaimo RCMP and will be leaving Williams Lake.

Looking around Brissard said several of the RCMP members in the room, including himself, started as auxiliaries.

While auxiliaries are not expected to become regular members, their involvement shows they wish to make the community a better place, he added.

Mayor Kerry Cook praised the RCMP for their leadership and making the auxiliary

program possible.

“Thanks for making a substantial difference in our community,” she told the new recruits.

“It takes a special type of person to volunteer without any compensation.”

The RCMP auxiliary program in Williams Lake has more than doubled with the addition of six new auxiliary constables who joined the force in May. On Thursday the new constables were formerly inducted at city hall. Three auxiliaries were recognized for five years service, and two others, who were absent, were acknowledged for 13 and 20 years of service.

“The auxiliary program has been around for 50 years,” said Const. Brad LeForte who has been in charge of the program in Williams Lake the last four years. “It was started to assist police in emergency situations.”

When the RCMP ran out of members the auxiliaries were called in to help, he explained.

“That tradition is still held today and we still depend on them greatly, however, it has been changed greatly over the last 50 years.”

Today auxiliaries are used more as a community asset, helping with everything from community policing, putting on bike rodeos, going to schools to deliver D.A.R.E. programs to doing ridealongs with RCMP

Celebrating Forestry

2014

National Forest Week celebrates ‘Sunrise in the Forest’ Staff Writer Celebrating Forestry 2014 In recognition of National Forest Week from Sept. 21-27, 2014, Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson has released the following statement: “As the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, I look forward to celebrating National Forest Week.”

“This year’s theme, Sunrise in the Forest, not only speaks to the natural beauty of B.C.’s forests, but the resiliency of the forest sector.

Since the downturn of 2009, B.C.’s forest economy has been steadily recovering.

From 2009 to 2013, timber harvesting has increased 47 per cent, the value of B.C.’s forest product exports increased by 53 per cent to a total of $11.6 billion and employment increased by 13 per cent providing 58,000 direct jobs throughout the province.

In 2009, government in-

Minister Steve Thomson troduced the Wood First Act to require that wood be considered as a primary building material in public sector construction, and 53 local governments, have followed suit by adopting Wood First bylaws, policies or resolutions of their own, Thomson said.

Changes to the BC Building Code in 2009 increasing the maximum height of wood frame residential construction from four storeys to six, has

translated into over 200 mid-rise buildings completed or under construction.

To ensure there are forests for future generations to enjoy, companies are legally required to reforest the areas they harvest.

“While an average of 200 million seedlings are planted each year, in 2014, we managed to plant over 240 million,” Thomson said.

“We manage our forests for 11 different values, including provisions for wildlife habitat, cultural heritage, biodiversity and recreation.”

The provincial National Forest Week coalition has also produced a Tree Identification App. It will be available for download from http:// www.abcfp.ca/about_us/ eve n t s / n at i o n a l _ fo rest_week.asp on Sept. 23, 2014.

The app provides photos and information on every native tree found in B.C., and also allows you to take photos and record notes and GPS the location of your favourite trees.

“I encourage you to take the time to enjoy and learn more about B.C.’s for-

ests this National Forest Week,” Thomson said.

Research forest provides education to professionals Sean Glanville Celebrating Forestry 2014 Based out of their Gavin Lake Forest Education Centre, members of the UBC Alex Fraser Research Forest staff played host to the 2014 Southern Interior Silviculture Committee (SISCO) Fall Field Tour Sept. 9-11.

The province is divided into three forestry regions including the Southern Interior, Northern Interior and a Coastal Committee with each offering a winter workshop and a fall field tour each year.

“It was a great event, the food was good and the weather was excellent all three days. Gavin Lake is always a great place to stay and we enjoyed our days out in the woods,” said Ken Day, manager of the UBC Alex Fraser Research Forest since 1987.

Guy Newsome, Woodland Supervisor for B.C. Timber Sales, who along with Day helped organize the event also had only positive things to say about the field tour.

“This was one of the

It was very well attended and we had representatives from Victoria, the Southern Interior as far as Cranbrook and even some silviculture workers from the Houston/Babine area to the north,” said

Newsome.

There were 75 registered participants ranging from executive level government officials to tree planting supervisors. Guests were fed and lodged for the two nights at the Gavin Lake forestry camp with both

evenings featuring a barbecue dinner and bonfire social.

“Being at Gavin Lake and out of cell service was excellent. A lot of people have a hard time pulling themselves away from their work but with no

cell, Internet or telephone access it forces people to socialize more,” said Newsome.

The two and a half day tour featured ongoing Ministry of Forest and UBC harvesting and silviculture research focusing on ecology and management of a number of complex forests. Day spoke at a number of the workshops providing content with his recognized expertise in silvicultural systems for dry Douglas-fir forests.

“We had 75 people registered but some of the workshops featured as many as 60 people at any given time so we were happy with the turnout,” said Day. The Alex Fraser Research Forest features both a Knife Creek Block near 150 Mile House and a Gavin Lake Block which played host to the bulk of the tours and workshops.

A variety of other locations in the woods near Williams Lake from Likely to Enterprise Road were also tour stops.

Day, whose accolades include winning the 2008

Distinguished Forest Professional Award, said the event featured people from all walks of the forestry industry.

“The tour featured a number of practising forestry professionals. We even had the Executive Director for the Ministry of Forests and Resources attend. We had a wide range of professionals including company workers, forestry consultants and people from academia and government on hand,” said Day. Many of the workshops included taking a look at experiments which were started back in the 1980s and 90s.

“The workshops featured a lot of informal practice and things like taking a look at some old experiments and examining the then and now aspect by following it through time.”

Newsome said the next SISCO event is the winter workshop which will be held in either March or April at Kamloops’ Thompson Rivers University.

Pinnacle Energy sees bright, clean future

Monica-Lamb Yorski Celebrating Forestry 2014

With the biomass industry experiencing a healthy growth pattern, Pinnacle Renewable Energy Inc. anticipates being in business in Williams Lake for years to come, said Ron Myhre, plant manager in Williams Lake.

“From a manufacturer’s perspective, it’s a great place to be. We’ve got more than enough outlets to market our product to.”

In recent years the company has tried to improve various aspects of the plant, whether it’s safety, air quality or simply trying to make the site more appealing.

Late 2013 the company completed a stack extension

project which increased the height of the stack by 45 feet.

All told the project took about 18 months and included brainstorming with the Ministry of Environment to come up with a way to improve air quality within the area around the plant.

“We did lots of testing and modelling to identify the adequate height for the stack,” Myhre said of the higher stack. “It’s been working very well.”

Presently the plant is in the process of making small alterations to the tipper or trailer dump to improve containment of fugitive dust on site.

“It’s another safe guard to conceal and contain

dust,” Myhre said.

The plant also tries to keep its staff engaged by offering apprenticeship positions.

Recently the company moved one of the operators into a millwright trades apprenticeship position to work in maintenance.

A continued emphasis on safety has resulted in the Williams Lake plant being awarded the Pinnacle Renewable Energy corporate safety award for three consecutive years.

“That’s a really important thing for us here,” Myhre said, adding there are 30 people employed locally and the plant is running 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Ongoing efforts to beau-

Trees, a higher stack and a more efficient cyclone are part of some of the improvements at Pinnacle Pellet. tify the property have resulted in the company planting 100 small trees in

between its operations and the nearby Hub City Auction building.

“We’ve been trying to create a green belt,” Myhre said of the trees.

Celebrate National Forest Week with art and win

The Association of BC Forest Professionals (ABCFP) and the Truck Loggers Association (TLA) are holding an art competition from Sept. 18 to Oct. 17, 2014 to celebrate National Forest Week.

The art competition is open to kids aged 4 to 12 — parents can submit their own kids’ artwork or teachers can enter the work of the whole classroom.

Kids from across the

province are invited to draw a picture of what the forests in their communities mean to them. There will be three winners — one from each age group.

Winners will receive a $50 gift certificate to Chap-

ters and will have their pictures published in the ABCFP and TLA magazines and posted on the websites of both organizations.

“Asking children to draw pictures of the forest

is always interesting,” says Dan Graham, RPF, LLB, president of the ABCFP. Pick up your pencil crayons and visit the ABCFP or the TLA websites to download the art competition entry form, www.

abcfp.ca or www.tla.ca.

The Association of BC Forest Professionals, established in 1947, is the largest professional forestry association in Canada with more than 5,400 members.

Tolko creating careers focused on forest industry Until recently, a career in the forest industry would not have been at the top of the list for young people seeking innovative and long-term employment.

Suffering through one of the longest recessions in recent memory, the industry was constricted and in survival mode.

But like all dark days, the sun does come out and the forestry industry is on the road to recovery and planning for a bright future where innovation, new technology, and people, power Canada’s green economy.

In fact, according to the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC), the voice of Canada’s wood, pulp and paper producers nationally and internationally in government, trade, and environmental affairs, by 2020 the forest industry will create at least 60,000 new jobs across Canada.

Many of these jobs will

involve using new and emerging technologies to create the green and sustainable forest of the future.

In B.C., the forestry industry is poised to enjoy this resurgence and is embracing the idea of new technology and a green future.

The B.C. forestry industry has been and will continue to be a key driver in the B.C. economy and currently, more than 40 per cent of B.C.’s regional economies are forestry based.

At Tolko, strategic capital investment and future focused planning are helping to ensure that the company remains at the forefront of this new sunrise.

Whether it’s investing in bio-energy or employing new technologies to engage in steep slope harvesting — Tolko is building the forest industry of the future.

At Soda Creek and Lakeview mill a number

Tolko Industries Ltd. is working to create strong careers for young people. of capital investments aimed at increased automation and efficiencies at the mill are underway and due to be completed in 2014/15.

With more than 450 direct workers and an additional workforce of harvesting and forestry

contractors, Tolko Williams Lake has a tradition of strong partnerships with the local community which will continue as we build for a strong future in the forest industry.

The theme of this year’s National Forest Week is “Sunrise in the Forest.”

0% FINANCING

This year’s theme recognizes that a new day is dawning across Canada’s forests — one with great opportunity and great rewards.

Today’s forestry is hightech, diverse, innovative, and green.

At Tolko, we want to not only be part of the responsible stewardship of our most important renewable resource, we want to ensure that our communities enjoy the full benefit of our efforts.

With this in mind, Tolko offers local scholarships, internships and training opportunities at various locations across the company — including our operations Williams Lake.

Engaging youth early and often is a key part of our ‘sunrise’ strategy.

Helping young people understand that there is a future in the forest industry is vital to our continued success.

At Tolko, we want young people to wake up to a ca-

reer in the forest sector — where bright minds make the future brilliant!

Here are a few suggestions on how you can participate in National Forest Week: • Take a walk in woods nearby and get to know your forest – listen to the birds, identify different plants and enjoy being in nature • Identify all the things at home or school that are made of wood • Arrange a tree planting, National Tree Day is Sept. 25 • Check out career options in the forest sector • Care for a newly planted or neglected tree, and study its species • Learn about the positive and negative effects of forest fires and how to prevent them • Learn about organizations that demonstrate or help others with sustainable forest management.

Direct seeding a boon to restoring forests

Monica-Lamb Yorski Celebrating Forestry 2014

A new method of seeding lodgepole pine in burnt out stands has West Fraser hopeful areas that suffered extensive damage during the wildfires of 2009 and 2010 may experience successful regrowth.

“We’re taking disc trenchers with an air system to inject seeds,” said Guy Burdikin, silviculture supervisor for West Fraser in Williams Lake.

The method allows for controlled precision seeding that determines the location of the seed in the trench, he explained.

There are two ways to reforest a site using this system.

The first method involves stratified seeds, which means the seed is thawed and hydrated, making it “hot and ready” to germinate.

The seeds come straight from the tree centre in Surrey.

The second method is unstratified, which means the seed is placed in a trench and buried to prevent predation from mice, voles and birds. The seed then stratifies in the ground over the winter.

So far it looks like most of the germination takes place in July and August.

“It’s the first time we’ve tried this type of seeding,” Burdikin said of the method which originated in Scandinavia and has been tried in Northern Ontario with Black Spruce and Jack Pine.

Burdikin said the difference between the Chil-

cotin and Scandinavia is the slash piles left after logging.

“We have way more, whereas in Scandinavia they remove everything afterwards.”

West Fraser embarked on the program in the fall of 2013 and was able to seed at a rate of 7,000 stems per hectare.

That’s much higher than a rate of 1,200 to 1,400 plugs per hectare which is achievable by tree planters using styro plugs.

The benefit of the higher rate is the fact that lodgepole pine prefers dense conditions, Burdikin said.

“We are finding that type of density is ideal for burnt sites because all those trees create a buffer, which gives them a better chance. They grow together and provide protection.”

The goal, he explained, is to achieve crown closure as soon as possible, providing the best lumber recoveries achievable.

A disc trencher used for direct seeding in the Chilcotin by West Fraser is proving effective.

Williams Lake Stampede Queen Michelle Ball poses with Stampede queens and princesses from Rimbey, Okotoks and Taber, Alta.

Ball represented Williams Lake at the Omak rodeo and invited our neighbours to the some to come visit the Williams Lake Stampede next year.

Stampede invitation personally delivered at Omak rodeo Michelle Ball Williams Lake Stampede Queen Omak, Washington is a small town of 4,815 residents that does rodeo in a big way! This year they had 35 visiting royalty, five of which were from Canada.

The four towns included Taber, Rimbey, Okotoks, Airdrie, Alberta, and of course, Williams Lake.

We were truly treated like royalty thanks to the generosity of John D. He is a local business man who prefers to remain in the background and offer his support in order to provide this opportunity for so many royalty to attend, and enjoy the experience.

We had four fun-filled days of steady activities.

The royalty spent an afternoon at Apple Springs Senior Centre and visited each local sponsor’s business for autographs and shopping sessions.

We were invited to the Rotary luncheon at city hall, participated in a radio interview at the Stampede grounds as well as helped with the Wrangler Kids night, where eight lucky children won new bicycles.

Each rodeo performance started with grand entry of all royalty, sponsors, flags, Omak Queen and

Williams Lake Stampede Queen Michelle Balls catches a ride with the National Guard during the parade at the opening of the Omak rodeo this summer.

Miss Rodeo Washington.

Intermission was performed by the National Guard and Slim Garner the professional rodeo clown from Kansas.

Their stampede grounds were filled with a fair full of rides and food vendors, a large First Nations encampment with many teepees, two round frames for aboriginal games and show performances, many craft talents, camping stalls and the rodeo arena, all of which

sits kitty corner to their World Famous Suicide Race Hill.

This race is an absolute must see!

Twenty qualifying horses and riders line up on the opposite side of the Okanogan River.

The gunshot sounds off and they charge ahead 40 yards towards the 277 foot embankment (almost 100 per cent vertical). Some horses look like they are almost flying.

Once they reach the bottom, each team swims across the river,

up a dirt road and charge into the arena amongst excited fans. What an adrenaline rush!!

Aaron Carden, who is associated with the Colville Tribes and is the Suicide Race’s president, told me to extend an invitation to all of our mountain race competitors to come and join them in next year’s race.

I would like to thank Jeff Demmitt and his family for organizing the royalty, John Devaney for his incredible support, Omak Queen Tiffany Mannikko for sharing her weekend with us, and the City of Omak for welcoming us with open arms.

Thank you to Jamie Tanis for her hours of driving to get me to the rodeo and Laura Ball for chaperoning me on another memorable journey.

Every effort was made to promote our Famous Williams Lake Stampede and invitations were given to our “Southern Neighbours” to come visit us and give us the opportunity to return the hospitality!

Looking forward to Merritt then back to Washington for the Spokane Interstate Rodeo Yours in Rodeo, Williams Lake Stampede Queen Michelle Ball.

FOOT NOTES Let’s talk about feet and how important they are to feeling well. Stop for a minute and be aware of your feet at this moment. Many people never think about their feet and, yet, if they hurt, we sure do!

Here’s a common problem ………………….. do you (or anyone you know) wince with the first step out of bed or after sitting for a long period? Is that first step a “killer”? After gingerly taking a few steps, do you notice that the intense pain along the sole of your foot begins to ease somewhat? What is going on with that?!

It could be a common condition called “plantar fasciitis” (big words and big pain). Simply put, the tissues along the bottom of your foot (and sometimes up the back of your heel) have stretched to the point of pain. When in bed, those tissues relax and are less irritated. Once you step down, they stretch out again – ouch!

Why do we get this awful thing? Like many foot problems, it usually comes from poor choices in footwear. This particular condition may be a result of flat shoes that do not support the arch of the foot, allowing them to stretch out flat instead of arched – again, ouch!

The answers? A few things may make all the difference in the world to your feet - supportive shoes (wide enough and long enough), orthotics/inserts, appropriate exercises (like picking up a pencil with your toes), gentle massage, as much rest as possible and ………. time – honest, it takes time for the inflamed tissues to mend.

Anti-inflammatory medications may be necessary.

Always consult with your doctor about medical concerns, including sore feet.

Just imagine!

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer As Williams Lake prepares to celebrate its second Orange Shirt Day on Tuesday, Sept.

30, the Shuswap woman who inspired the day said it’s still surreal.

“There’s always the question of why me?”

Phyllis Webstad said. “I cannot say it enough. I am humbled and honoured.”

Orange Shirt Day emerged after Webstad shared a story about having her brand new orange shirt taken away when she arrived to attend the St. Joseph Mission Residential School at the age of six years old.

Her grandmother was raising her in Canoe Creek and brought her to Williams Lake and bought her a new outfit.

Webstad’s story first emerged in May 2013, when she participated in a three-member panel discussion on the residential school legacy during a Pro-D Day event for School District 27.

At the time she said it was as if she didn’t

The Orange Shirt Committee is busy making final preparations for Orange Shirt Day coming up Sept. 30. matter and from then on she could never wear the colour orange.

Her story touched the hearts of First Nations and non-First Nations and resulted in the first-ever Orange Shirt Day being celebrated in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House in September 2013.

Orange Shirt Day is a conversation starter, and has been grasped by so many people, even small children, no matter what nationality.

“Everybody can associate with what it would be like to have a child taken away,” Webstad said.

The Orange Shirt Day Facebook page has been liked by people from all over the world,

FLY DOWN TO

including people from as far away as Australia and Webstad said she hopes one day it will be marked globally to remember residential school survivors.

Tuesday’s event will start with a Harmony Walk organized by the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Multicultural Society, leaving in three different streams from the community garden on Carson Avenue, Marie Sharpe Elementary School on CameronStreet and Courthouse Square on Oliver Street, all arriving at Boitanio Park.

“It’s a walk we do every year commemorating different days so this year we thought we’d support Orange Shirt Day,” said walk

organizer MargaretAnne Enders.

Juno award winner Gary Fjellgaard is returning to perform and the Cariboo’s own Trevor Mack will talk about his latest film which is about residential schools.

“There will be First Nations drumming and Angela Sommer will be there with her children’s choir,” said Cariboo Regional District director Joan Sorley.

Lorelie Boyce, the Williams Lake co-ordinator for the Indian Residential School Survivor Society, said there will be mental health support workers available if anyone needs help.

“Elders Shirley David and Virginia Gilbert will do smudging

as well,” she said.

Smudging is a purification ceremony used for various things, Boyce explained.

“Most people use sage around here, but they can also use juniper or tobacco.”

The act washes a person’s spirit and helps people let things go, she added.

“People can say a simple prayer, smudge their eyes, heart and ears, and ask the Creator to take it away and heal them.”

Webstad said other elders will be there to do smudge as well, and there will be a box at the event for people to put thoughts and names in.

The contents will be burnt later.

“The significance is that fire destroys,” Webstad said. “It can help alleviate the issues and is another way of letting go and offering up prayers. Fire is also the gateway to the spirit world. The box will probably be burnt at a sweat.”

School District 27’s director of instruction Gerome Beauchamp confirmed there will be children’s activities and again the BC Lions have donated orange footballs to give away.

COMMUNITY A special proclamation gets square dance toes tapping

Photo submitted

With the Square Dance Awareness Week Proclamation in hand, Mary Anne Turner reminds caller, Nick Turner, that it is time to get his voice in shape for another square dance season.

Mary Anne Turner Special to Tribune/Advisor After a four-month break, the Williams Lake Square Dancers are eagerly looking forward to their 57th dance season.

Toes are beginning to tap as the dancers welcome the provincial government’s proclamation of Square and Round Dance Awareness Week, Sept. 14-20.

The proclamation is signed by the Lieutenant Governor and recognizes the many physical and mental

health benefits of participating in this type of dancing.

Nick Turner, the club caller is quick to say: “What the proclamation doesn’t mention is how much fun square dancing is. Like many things in life, you won’t learn square dancing in a single evening but dancers laugh a lot while they are learning and they have a blast! Loneliness and stress disappear out the door.

Friendships are made and a variety of good music is enjoyed.”

The Williams Lake Club will begin their season on Monday, Sept. 29 with a free session for new dancers to come and try it out.

It will be held at the Cariboo Arts Center at 7 p.m. The more the merrier!

Club president, Marie Gibbons, reminds everyone: “No special clothes are required.

Just wear something comfortable and that allows you to move with ease.

No dance experience is needed, just to be

able to walk briskly.

“No need to worry about leading, following, or maintaining a frame. Square dancing is walking to music, and following instructions to allow groups of eight people to move in interesting patterns.

“Come with an open mind and have an evening of fun moving to music that could include anything from Pop,

Country, Bluegrass, Gospel, to Classical.”

The Williams Lake Stampede Whirlaways have been dancing in Williams Lake for 56 years now and are hoping to continue bringing fun, friendship and a healthy activity to the community for another 56 years.

To do this, they hope new people will come and join them couples, singles, families, children over 12.

The more people on the dance floor, the more fun it is.

Square dancing is an example of legendary fun that has changed with the times.

The clothing has changed, the music has changed but the fun remains.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE LOOKS...

IS IT?

The arrival of cooler, shorter days is often a precursor to winter storms dominated by snowfall. A snow-covered landscape can make for an appealing image. But heavy snowfall also makes for extra work, especially for drivers who must dig their vehicles out of the snow after each storm.

Some people live in suburban areas where they can park their cars in driveways or garages, while others live in cities and have to park on the street, where snow plows can do a wonderful job of burying vehicles underneath mounds of snow. Rescuing a car or truck from a pile of snow can be tricky and time-consuming, but there is a process that can make the job easier.

• Begin by clearing out the tail pipe of the car. This is a vital first step because failure to

do so can back harmful carbon monoxide gas and other fumes into the car. Take the time to clear out the rear of the car, including the taillights, so you will have improved visibility.

• When the exhaust pipe is clear, turn on the car. Some people prefer to put the defroster on right away.

Others wait until the vehicle warms up before doing so. Having a warm car will melt some of the accumulated ice and snow and make it easier for you to clear the car.

• The right tools make faster work of the task at hand. A shovel is a necessity, and a telescoping snow broom/ice scraper can be helpful. This allows you to safely push the snow off the roof of the car. Some regions fine drivers who do not remove snow from the roofs or hoods of their cars, so take the

time to clean such snow before driving.

• Work from the top of the vehicle down.

Otherwise, you will end up negating all of your work by throwing fresh snow on the areas you already cleared.

• By now the defrosters should have kicked in sufficiently enough to make it simple to clear snow from the windshield and rear window. Use some deicing windshield fluid to dislodge wiper blades if they have frozen to the windshield.

Some drivers leave their wiper blades standing on end and away from the windshield prior to a big storm to prevent them from freezing to the windshield. Consider this trick if you’re especially worried about the blades freezing to the glass.

• Use your shovel to carefully remove as much snow as possible from around the

tires. Be careful not to puncture the tire with a metal shovel. Try to create a tire path in the direction you plan to move the vehicle. So if you will be backing out of the driveway, clear the way behind the car. If traction is a problem, use a bit of rock salt or cat litter behind the tires to give them more grip.

Slipping a car mat under the tires also can provide much-needed traction.

• Exercise caution if you are digging out a car on a busy roadway.

Make yourself visible to other motorists and use traffic cones, if you have them, to keep drivers away from your vehicle. Do not shovel the snow in the path of oncoming vehicles.

Shoveling out after a snowstorm is a task few people enjoy.

However, it is a necessity of the season and one that can be done safely and efficiently.

Fall Is Here... “Be Car Care Aware”

Williams Lake Tribune Wednesday, September 24, 2014

Curb appeal applies to cars, too “Curb appeal” is a term often associated with selling a house.

Homeowners selling their homes want to improve their home’s external appearance so it creates a stronger first impression when prospective buyers first pull up to the curb for an open house or a visit with their realtor.

But while curb appeal is often uttered in real estate parlance, the term also is applicable when selling cars. Private sellers want to make their vehicles look as nice as possible, giving it the kind of curb appeal that impresses potential buyers the moment they see the vehicle. Improving a car’s curb appeal typically doesn’t require as

much work as doing the same for a home, but the following are a few ways sellers can improve the look of their vehicles in an attempt to impress prospective buyers.

• Give the car a good wash. The easiest way to improve how a car looks from the outside is to wash and wax it. Sellers should make this part of their vehicle maintenance routine until the car is sold. If you’re driving the car while you’re attempting to sell it, wash and wax the vehicle each week.

Always wash the car before a prospective buyer is scheduled to come over and take a look. Spray detailers can be used to give the car some extra sparkle.

A preowned car with curb appeal is far easier to sell than a vehicle that appears dirty or poorly maintained.

• Don’t forget the interior. While a car’s exterior contributes heavily to a buyer’s first impression of the vehicle, the interior also bears heavy influence on any potential buyers. Vacuum the vehicle’s interior, including both the floorboards and the seats, and clean the windows

and windshields from the inside. Once the cupholders have been vacuumed, clean them with a damp cloth to remove any coffee stains or spots where something may have melted. A dirty interior may make buyers question if the rest of the vehicle, especially what’s under the

beach chairs and cooler. When selling a car, remove all of your personal items from the trunk. This shows prospective buyers how much trunk space your vehicle is equipped with.

In addition, an empty trunk will make the car lighter and, as a result, more smooth to drive, something buyers are sure to notice when they take the car out for a test drive.

The term “curb appeal” is just as applicable to selling a car as it is to selling a home, and sellers can improve their chances of selling their used vehicles dramatically if they take steps to improve the curb appeal of their cars and trucks.

to notice the buildup of dirt and grime on the interior and exterior of the vehicle, it’s not as easy to notice any such buildup under the hood. And while sellers may not see such unsightly buildup even when they open their hoods, buyers almost certainly will. Plastic covers are typically placed over the engine on many late model vehicles, and these covers can accumulate grease and debris over time.

A spray cleaner or detailer can remove such buildup to make what’s under the hood as visually impressive as your freshly cleaned interior and exterior.

hood, was properly maintained, so be sure to include this easy step as part of your curb appeal routine.

Clean the interior as necessary until the car is sold.

• Park the car in the garage. Whether you plan to keep driving the car every day until it’s sold or intend to keep it parked until the right buyer comes along, try to park the car in your garage or in some place where it’s protected from the elements. This prevents any additional damage from harsh weather and ensures a freshly washed car won’t succumb to falling leaves or other debris that may necessitate another washing.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, when a vehicle’s interior is wet, that could be a sign of a significant problem, one that can gradually worsen over time. Wetness can cause electrical components or metal structures in the car to rot, and a soggy interior may eventually be overcome by mold. It is best to find out what is causing the leak as soon as possible and have the problem fixed just as quickly.

Finding the source of a leak is not always easy. Sometimes drivers can locate it themselves and then fix the problem on their own, while more serious

problems might need to be handled by a professional. But it is best to assess the situation before booking an appointment with your mechanic.

Cars can spring a leak for a variety of reasons. Leaks from systems under the hood, as well as rainwater or water from washing the car, can infiltrate the interior if seals around doors and/or windows are broken or gaskets are worn out. Figuring out which type of liquid is entering your vehicle can help you determine what’s behind the leak.

A 07/2014 clear, slippery liquid under the seats may be indicative of a 07/2014 leak in the brake fluid reservoir. Brake fluid is a liquid used in the braking system to apply hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to the calipers to the pads against the wheel drums. If you discover brake fluid, check the master cylinder or the clutch master cylinder to see if there is a leak or spillover of the fluid.

Coolant also can leak under the dash-

Coolant is a sticky, green and sweet-smelling fluid, and a coolant leak could mean that a heater core or hose in the cooling

water flows off of the windshield when the wipers are in use.

Also, the trough where the wipers rest should have a sealant that prevents water from entering at the base of the windshield. Over time, both can wear out and may need to be replaced and resealed. Try sitting in the car on a dry day and spraying a hose on the windshield. See if any water eventually makes it inside of the car. If it does, the windshield is likely the reason your vehicle’s interior is getting wet.

A clogged drain in a vehicle’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning system is one of the more common causes of interior water damage.

If the drain is clogged, condensation from the system cannot drain from the tube. In such instances, water backs up into the system and can actually blow out of the car vents or elsewhere in the vehicle, forming a pool on the floor of the car.

Leaves or debris can cause a blockage.

If excess water is left in the HVAC system, it can damage the blower motor. Also, a faulty seal that is located between the HVAC case and the firewall of the vehicle may cause water to leak into the passenger compartment under the carpet.

In some cases, cleaning blocked drains in a vehicle’s HVAC system may be as simple as blowing compressed air through the vents or using a wire to clear out leaves or dirt. Other times it may be hard to access the leaks, and such instances are often best left to a mechanic.

The causes of leaks in a car are not always so easy to diagnose.

But it is important to figure out where the water is coming from early on to minimize the damage water can do to your vehicle.

Williams Lake Sabercat Cole Aumond rushes for yardage Saturday against the Prince George Mauraders.

Sabercats play home opener Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Sabercats played its home opener Saturday against the Prince George Marauders in week three of the Prince George Minor Football League.

The first-year Sabercats — an atom division team of 15 players aged seven to nine — stormed out of the starting blocks in the first half at the Ottoman Drive rugby fields to go up 13-8 after a 60-yard jaunt for a touchdown from Sabercats running back Noe Jelks and a first-and-goal notch from Cole Aumond.

Sabercats head coach Dionte Jelks credited the work ethic of his

players and said he’s seeing improvement every game.

“Our kids are getting it,” Jelks said. “They’re sticking their noses in there, and I think the biggest difference is knowledge of the game.

“Some of these kids

have never seen a football game on TV, so where we’re at now we’re doing great.”

He pointed to a few small mistakes which led to the loss, putting the team at no wins and three losses so far on the campaign.

“We shoot ourselves in the foot on third downs,” he said. “Seems like those are our achilles heel all game. And one play at the end of the second half we let them in with one play to go.”

The Sabercats will play at home again this weekend at the Ottoman Drive fields against Prince George team two. Kickoff goes at 3:30 p.m.

Rodeo wraps up BCRA season Continued From Page B4 “Thank you to the people of Quesnel for their support for also helping raise $450 for the Salvation Army Food Bank,” the BCRA said in a release, adding donations were collected in a new Dodge Ram truck, courtesy of one of the rodeo’s major sponsors, Regency Chrysler of Quesnel.

The Sunday performance was dedicated to the RCMP and their families for the work they do in the city.

Contestants, fans and families chose to wear red to honour the day.

“The BCRA would like to thank the South Quesnel Business Association and all the Quesnel Rodeo Club and their volunteers for hosting the BCRA Championship Finals again this year,” they said.

“The finals officials Court Smith, Ray Jasper, Gwen Cyr, Nita Cameron, Nita Walker and Barb Swampy and the finals stock contractors C+ Rodeos, Roy Call and D n’ B Rodeo Stock and T & L Timed Event cattle, thank you one and all for all the hard work and excellent stock that was provided at our finals.”

Fit City Athletica in Williams Lake: a 24-hour facility If getting in shape is your goal, Fit City Athletica in Williams Lake has all the necessary tools to make it happen.

Now in its 20th year in the lakecity, Fit City Athletica recently underwent a change in ownership as former manager Chantelle Hopkins and her husband, Justin, took over the business five months ago from the previous owners.

“We just took over in the middle of April of this year and have been working on some changes,” Chantelle said, adding she was a manager at Fit City Athletica for previous owners Kevin Nohr and Cyndie Nohr.

Most recently the interior and exterior of the building was repainted, and new speakers have been installed in the workout room.

“But we’re unique because we offer 24 hour access to the gym,” she said.

Members are able to access the doors of the facility 24 hours a day through the use of a key card, which unlocks the door.

“We also offer corporate rates for mines and mills which, in this community, is important for those

The gym houses a variety of workout equipment and machines, she noted, suited for any training regiment.

Fit City Athletica isn’t just a gym, however, it’s also a women’s

clothing store and, furthermore, offers tanning and workout supplements.

Since purchasing Fit City Athletica Chantelle said she and her husband have also focused on bringing in a vast variety of workout supple-

“It’s more one-on-one service back there in the gym.”

With the purchase of a gym membership members have the option of a free one-hour gym orientation.

Fit City is also a 25-and-older gym, Chantelle said, noting it brings with it a more mature, social atmosphere.

“The members become motivational to one another sometimes creating friendships, helping each other achieve their fitness goals,” she said.

Fit City Athletica also has a friendly, helpful staff who are always willing to answer any questions from members.

“If someone’s never been here before they can try out the gym for free,” she said.

Payment plans are also available for anyone who wishes to purchase either a six month or one year membership.

terms of drivability is a better jump off the line and improved highway cruising.

Because the new transmission reduces weight and friction, the fuel economy has improved by 16 per cent, which is an amazing accomplishment in such a small car. Rated at 7.0L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway, using the much tougher 2015 fuel standards, this represents fuel number buyers will actually be able to achieve. In addition, the suspension has been improved for more responsiveness but I found the ride a bit choppy over bumpy roads.

Verdict There is so much to talk about with the Honda Fit from space to design and new engineering; it is easy to overlook the creature comforts that have been added.

There is also the $19,195 EX trim with alloy wheels, paddle shifter and moon roof, but the big news is the inclusion of the $21,295 EX-L Navi trim. This is the EX trim with leather and navigation, making the fit downright opulent.

This isn’t the least expensive car in this class but on the whole it offers so much more than just a price point. This car is all about smart money.

CONCRETE PUMP TRUCKS

Multiply length x width x depth Make sure all numbers are in feet.

Divide total by 27. That gives you the number of cubic yards you need.

Ex: Sidewalk 20’x 3’x .34’(4”deep) = 20.40 ÷ 27 = .76 of a cubic yard

cled glass countertops. ecycled glass countertops, the majority of which are now produced with 80 to 90 percent post-consumer glass, are made of pieces of glass that are held together with cement binders. Some might be concerned that countertops made of recycled glass are not very strong, but the cement binders are very hard, making the countertops durable, strong and unlikely to chip or crack. ecycled glass countertops come in various colors and are resistant to both heat and stains. nstallation of recycled glass countertops can be tricky, as improper installation

Get the 411 on 2014 flooring options C

hoosing the right flooring for a home is no small task. Flooring is expensive, so homeowners want to make the best decision possible so their choice of flooring is not one they regret and ultimately replace in the years to come. hen choosing flooring for their homes, many homeowners are overwhelmed by the options at their disposal. Each type of flooring can look great in its own way, which is why homeowners may struggle to find the right fit for their homes. Educating yourself about flooring is a great way to make the process of choosing your next floor much less overwhelming and more enjoyable. The following are some of the more popular flooring options you will no doubt encounter

W

as your search for a flawless floor begins. early everyone is familiar with hardwood floors, which are durable, warm and a favorite of homeowners aiming for a traditional look. Homes with open floor plans often benefit from hardwood flooring, as it creates the feeling of continuity that homeowners hope to achieve with open floor plans. Various species, including oak, maple and cherry, of hardwood flooring are available, and they typically vary in price, with more exotic imported options carrying hefty price tags. More traditional hardwood flooring is less expensive, and solid wood flooring can be refinished several times to increase its lifespan. ngineered wood is less susceptible to temper-

ature changes and humidity than solid wood, and some new varieties of engineered wood include substrates made from recycled wood fiber and stone dust, which may appeal to eco-friendly homeowners. en and women who want to install their own floors may prefer engineered wood, which is now available in self-locking parquet or plank squares that can be installed without using glue or nails. amboo is another flooring alternative that’s popular among ecoconscious homeowners, as it comes from plants that regenerate quickly and is therefore considered a sustainable material. Bamboo flooring is made of strands of bamboo that are glued together, forming engi-

neered planks or solid strips.

Bamboo flooring is strong and able to resist the negative effects

of fluctuating humidity, which include swelling and contraction. Many people prefer the fresh,

bright feel of bamboo flooring.

New floors add value and beauty to a home FROM PAGE 12 aminate flooring is among the less expensive flooring materials to buy and install. Homeowners who purchase laminate flooring have an array of options to choose from, and floating laminate flooring systems can be installed over existing floors without glue or nails. Some feel laminate flooring is indistinguishable from real wood, but the plastic coating that makes up the top layer of laminate flooring is often a giveaway that the floors are laminate and not real wood. Similar in

construction to engineered wood, laminate flooring differs because its top layer is a photographic imprint on the face of each board, whereas engineered wood is made up of real hardwood veneer attached to several layers of plywood. ork is another sustainable flooring material that’s a favorite

tiles have a naturally nonslip surface that makes areas of a home where floors get wet safer. Cork flooring may need to be resealed every few years to guard

Choosing Kitchen Cabinets Custom Cabinets VS Flat Pack/Stock Cabinetry K

itchen cabinets are the most visible and used part of any home. So, before you decide on new kitchen cabinets, do your homework first. If you see something you like in a magazine or in someone elses kitchen or show room, keep a file of pictures, designs and features you like. ext thing to do is to talk to certified kitchen designers. Choose a designer you are comfortable with because you will be spending a lot of time together planning your dream kitchen. It’s a good idea to let the designer know about your lifestyle as they can make suggestions to enhance your space to suit

N

your needs. here are usually three categories of cabinetry, which include flat pack- put together cabinetry, stock/catalogue cabinets as well as custom/built to size cabinetry. It’s important to know the differences, the advantages and disadvantages of each before you begin shopping. Custom cabinetry is made to fit your space and your taste. ach cabinet is made to your specifications, one at a time when your order is placed. Unlike stock and flat pack cabinetry, nothing is pre made or warehoused. The biggest benefit of custom cabinetry is that it is uniquely yours. The space

iller strips are used to close the gaps.

The more fillers needed, the more wasted space you will have. lat pack cabinetry follows the same industry size format and uses fillers or trim to close the gaps. There are no standard sizes or filler pieces in custom cabinetry. Cabinet height, width and depth can be adjusted to fit corners or unusual spaces. Instead of using fillers to fill the gaps or dead spaces, custom cabinetry can turn that space into a unique storage solution or display area. The advantage of ordering flat pack cabinetry is usually they cost less and are quicker to have

shipped out. The disadvantage would be that they need to be put together. Time and space to build those types of cabinets should be factored in when looking at the cost. Another thing to consider is stock cabinets may come pre-assembled, but the freight to have them shipped will cost you more. urchasing a new kitchen is a huge investment in your home.

Take time to decide what your wants and needs are.

Then pick cabinetry to suit your lifestyle, so you can enjoy your new kitchen for many years to come.

Smith, Jock Stewart

August 21, 1926 - September 11, 2014 It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Jock Stewart (Stew) Smith on September 11, 2014 at the age of 88 in Kelowna, B.C. Dad will be lovingly remembered by his wife Dodie and five children; Lindsey, Jock, Courtney, Tannis, Kim and families.

Dad and Mom moved from Vancouver to Williams Lake in 1950 where they remained until 1988. Dad spent his entire working years in Williams Lake, first with Lignum Ltd., then with Cattermole / Trethewy. In 1961 he became self-employed starting Smithco Industrial Supplies, finishing his working career as an insurance underwriter with Manulife.

Many memories were built at the family cabin on Chimney Lake where dad captained many boat rides, was the fishing derby shot gun starter, campfire chief and driving instructor to all kids. Dad and Mom retired in 1988 to Parksville for six years and then onto Kelowna, spending 25 winters at their home in Yuma, Arizona.

Dad was very involved in the community in Williams Lake where he was president of the Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Kiwanis Service Club, Masonic Lodge, and a Stampede Parade marshal for many years. He was an avid curler, a smooth mover on the dance floor and continued his golf swing through retirement.

Dad was a great family man who enjoyed his children, grandkids, great grandkids and many friends. He loved life to the fullest and will always be remembered for his kind, gentle manner and easy-going nature. It was Stewy’s wish not to have a service but to raise your glass and remember the good times! Cheers to all!
