According to Crown, the alleged incident involved the theft of a vehicle, attempted break-ins, endangering the life of a police of-

ficer and a police chase at speeds up to 150 km an hour through the streets of Williams Lake, culminating in an arrest in Alexis Creek.

On trial are Blake Johnny and Perry Johnny, who both pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Celebrate Life questioned Angie Mindus Staff Writer Carrie Julius believes city council had no business wading into the pro-life/pro-choice debate when it proclaimed this week as Celebrate Life Week in the lakecity.

Now Julius and others say they are plan-

ning to protest at city hall every day this week in hopes of getting councillors to rescind the controversial proclamation.

“Why is the city endorsing this?” Julius questioned while protesting outside city hall Monday.

“It just doesn’t seem right. It divides a com-

www.wltribune.com A3

munity, so why are we doing it?”

Mayor Kerry Cook said she agrees the proclamation “certainly doesn’t fit within our local government mandate,” however, said she felt the proclamation was carefully worded to be respectful.

“The intent certainly

Colours of fall

wasn’t to offend anyone,” Cook said, adding she has been in correspondence with Julius and is willing to meet with her in person regarding her concerns.

The proclamation was unanimously received by councillors at the Sept. 16 regular city council meeting.

Details on rights and title continue to unfold Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Tsilhqot’in continue to hammer out details with the provincial government about their recent rights and title win and how it will impact non-First Nations, said Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William.

“At this point in time we don’t have all the answers,” William said from the Union of BC Municipalities conference in Whistler last week.

Within the 1,700 square kilometre-court case area, there are existing ranches, recre-

ation areas and lodges.

“All of those permits can continue,” William said, adding the First Nations are pleased the provincial government has encouraged hunters to keep out of the title area.

When asked if the First Nations will be responsible for road maintenance within the title area, William said those things will have to be worked out as the Tsilhqot’in and government workout shortterm and longterm agreements.

The court case area makes up 40 per cent of the entire Tsilhqot’in

title area, he added.

“When we look at rights to hunt, trap, catch wild horses and trade we will be looking at big picture.”

William gave a presentation at UBCM Tuesday and said it was received well.

“I told delegates it will be a good transition and we will continue keeping the public informed. I spoke with MLA Donna Barnett and she told me I answered some of her questions, too.”

Great efforts are also being expended to inform First Nations people themselves.

He started a Xeni Gwet’in Facebook page, has been holding community meetings and met with many people one-on-one.

“The majority are in favour of the way it’s unfolding, but it is a trust issue for some people.”

William has not confirmed whether or not he will run for the Cariboo Regional District for a second term.

“Lots of people have been talking to me about it and I’ve heard some other people are thinking about running, but I haven’t decided either way.”

Missing boys found safe and sound Monday, Sept. 29 Two missing Grade 4 boys were returned safely to their parents after a brief but intense search Monday afternoon.

Police were called after the elementary students failed to return to afternoon classes.

All available offi-

cers searched nearby streets and highways looking for the two.

The boys were discovered a short time later by police and one of their parents.

Tuesday, Sept. 30 On Sept. 30 at 2:27 a.m., Williams Lake RCMP received a call from a driver on

Highway 97 North that a vehicle had just side swiped his vehicle causing his GMC pickup to enter the ditch.

The driver advised he could no longer see the other vehicle.

Officers responded and located the other vehicle, a blue Volkswagen Jetta also in the ditch.

The driver of the Volkswagen said he swerved to avoid a deer while driving north and ended up in the oncoming lane.

In doing so, he hit the southbound GMC pickup on the driver’s side causing the pickup to lose control and spin into the ditch.

The vehicles came

to rest 100 metres away from each other.

The drivers of both vehicles were transported to the Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

Both drivers were treated for minor injuries then released.

Alcohol is believed to be a factor in this incident and this matter is still under investigation.

Update on human remains

Police are remaining quiet about human remains discovered in Likely recently.

Cpl. Dave Tyreman of the North District said investigators are waiting for positive identification before releasing any further information surrounding the discovery.

Williams Lake

RCMP received the report about possible human remains Friday, Sept. 19, prompting several officers and even an armed vehicle to descend on the small, rural community. The case is being handled by local police, the North District Major Crime Unit and the BC Coroners Service.

NEWS

Ryll, Smith, join council race Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Chamber of Commerce president Jason Ryll and business owner Craig Smith have announced they plan to run for city council.

Ryll formally announced his plan at last week’s monthly chamber luncheon, putting to rest rumours he was running for the mayor’s chair.

“It’s been a decision I’ve been toiling over for quite some time,” he said Thursday.

Suggesting his leadership style, networks and contacts are an asset he also said his ability to have a business voice at the business table is something that’s been overlooked on city council.

His decision to run for council, rather than mayor, was based on how much time he has available to devote to the job, he said.

“To take a run at mayor, while I think my chances may have been good, wouldn’t fit with my lifestyle at this point of running my own business and coaching rugby.”

Craig Smith Being mayor is a fulltime job and there’s no way he could run his business and be mayor, although it might be something he’ll revisit in four years if he’s successful on council.

While Ryll has a vision of where he would like to see the community headed, he said he wants to hear from community members.

“My job is to listen and then be a voice for my community,” Jason said.

Ryll is a long term resident of Williams Lake. He graduated from Columneetza Secondary School in 1990. After pursuing his post-secondary education, he returned home to Wil-

liams Lake to work in broadcasting and has remained in the lakecity ever since.

For more information, please contact Jason at jasonryll@ gmail.com and watch for a Facebook page coming soon.

After being a longtime resident of the Cariboo with more than 20 years of work, play and participation in Williams Lake, Craig Smith said he felt it was time to give back to the community.

“It is with enthusiasm and a passion for the community, that I announce my intentions to run for a position on city council,” Smith said.

An extensive business past has provided Smith with an inside look at what it takes to sustain business in the downtown and how to weather the ups and downs.

“I have a passion for business and understand that a community needs a healthy economy to support and sustain business,” Smith said, adding he has the drive to look

Jason Ryll for creative and innovative ways to make the business community prosperous.

Stimulation of economic development and the recruitment and retention of business is at the heart of what the community needs to stay healthy for generations to come, he suggested.

Smith envisions the development of a package by the city for businesses that outlines the steps and process, and streamlines procedures to decrease wait times and save businesses money.

In order for business to grow, the city’s infrastructure must be included as part of economic develop-

Caribou Brain Injury Society is having their Annual General Meeting

ment, he insisted.

“It’s not just about wanting to make the city more accountable and fiscally responsible, it’s about having the business background to know how to make it possible, and how to build infrastructure responsibly.”

Smith is passionate about the arts and has been on stage many times with Studio Theatre and performed in many bands. He has been part of the Pipe band, and plays a variety of musical instruments.

Currently he is the president of the local Shrine Club for kids and volunteers with a huge variety of local groups and charities.

“To be on council, I feel, is just the next step in giving back to my community and making it a great place to do business, work, and recreate,” Smith said.

Trustees’ role to take the heat?

Become an organ or tissue donor

Standing in protest

T

he Child Development Centre celebrated its 40th anniversary on Saturday with a tea at the Aileen Hewitt building.

This building is a far cry from the CDC’s first facility, a smallish room in the old arena.

Many people have been involved with the success of the CDC. Looking through the memorabilia on display brought back a lot of memories, but everyone looked so young.

I remember Mrs. Hewitt’s determination to fill French the gaps in chilConnection dren’s services, Diana French and that determination never wavered.

Among the guests at the tea was Jim Fraser. As the city’s mayor at the time, his support played a significant part in getting the program going.

How many remember the big piggy bank that helped with the CDC’s early fundraising efforts?

The latest fund raiser was launched at the tea, a book titled “Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre Association - 40 Years Working With Community” compiled by Elaine Watt.

Our community is quick to yowl about our shortcomings, but we have some major achievements. The CDC is one of them. *** A recent decision by the BC government should trigger a yowl. The Education Ministry is clawing back money school districts saved during the teachers’ strike in September. Boards were allowed to keep 20 per cent of any savings from the June part of the strike.

Surely local trustees know local needs better than Victoria does. Any extra dollars should be spent on those local needs.

Given the iron-fisted control the ministry has over school boards, the main role of trustees these days is almost limited to deciding what and where to cut in order to meet the government’s funding. Makes you wonder if the role of school boards is simply to take the heat for Victoria’s decisions. Maybe that explains the lack of interest in the upcoming local elections. As I write this, no candidates, incumbents or otherwise, have announced.

Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Carrie Julius and Kelly Therrien stand outside city hall in Williams Lake over the lunch hour Monday protesting city council’s endorsement of Celebrate Life Week in Williams Lake. The women, who were joined by other supporters, want the city to rescind its proclamation which supports the pro-life movement.

Our Viewpoint

Congratulations in order Kudos are in order for members of our local Cariboo Hospital Foundation Trust.

In three years the non-profit organization managed to raise almost half a million dollars toward the purchase of a much-needed digital mammography unit for Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

That’s right, we said a half million dollars raised locally.

The board members made the exciting announcement Monday and were quick to thank the community for its generous support throughout the campaign.

Despite leaner times, the community of Williams Lake and its surrounding areas continues to come through on so many fronts when it really counts.

There is no doubt this machine will save lives –– our grandmothers, mothers, sisters, daughters and granddaughters will all benefit from having this asset in our local hospital.

We’ve been told the new machine has been ordered and should arrive for instal-

lation at Cariboo Memorial Hospital in about six months.

Trust chair Carol Taphorn said it will replace the current screening mammography unit with better quality pictures and instant transmission, bringing our hospital into the digital future of medicine.

The money raised by CHFT will cover 60 per cent of the total $800,000 price tag for the unit, with the Cariboo Regional Hospital District picking up the remainder.

The trust currently consists of 10 hardworking and dedicated board members, who put on fundraising events such as the annual Gala, a wine tasting and more.

any of us know or have been touched by someone who has had a transplant or is in need of one. Organ donations are among the most miraculous achievements of modern medicine, but depend entirely on the generosity of donors and their families willing to give this life-saving or life-enhancing gift.

Did you know the oldest organ donor on record in B.C. was 93 years of age? In MLA every region and every age category, Musings there are thouCoralee Oakes sands of British Columbians waiting for an organ transplant right now. If you are already a registered organ donor, you could one day save someone’s life — or, save many lives.

A single donor can save up to eight lives through organ donation. Even if your organs can’t be used, it’s likely you can be a tissue donor, giving anything from corneas to heart valves to a recipient in need. Through tissue donation, up to 50 lives can be dramatically improved by just one donor.

Our government has partnered with BC Transplant to make registering your decision on organ donation easier than ever before.

There are now 61 Service BC centres located in B.C., including Quesnel, where you can do just that. Participating centres have friendly staff on hand to provide information about organ donation and answer any questions you may have before registering your decision. You can visit or contact my office at 1-866-991-0296 for more information on becoming an organ donor, or for assistance with forms. You can also visit the B.C. Transplant website at www.transplant.bc.ca. More than 95 per cent of British Columbians support organ donation but only 19 per cent have registered. With close to 500 people on the transplant waiting list, signing up to become an organ donor could help save the life of a neighbour, co-worker, friend or family member in need. Organ transplants are truly life transforming, and donating organs is a selfless act that brings hope out of loss — giving the precious gift of life to someone in need.

MORE VIEWPOINTS City hall amiss in Celebration Question of the week of Life proclamation Editor: I was very surprised to learn that City Council had voted in favour of “Celebrate Life” week in Williams Lake as proposed by the Choice for Life Society of Williams Lake. I visited this organization’s webpage and was shocked to see the content that was displayed and have included a link to the page http://www.choiceforlife.ca.

I thought that the City would have taken more of a neutral stance on this subject and more appropriately not brought the proposal to council vote in the first place. I consider the vote in favour of this proclamation to be biased and not representative of all women’s rights. Why does our city council need be involved in such controversial matters such as the pro-choice vs. pro-life argument is beyond me.

This does not represent all of Williams Lake.

I would like to direct your atten-

tion to the vision statement of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada which affirms the following: “To achieve equality, all women must have the right to decide for themselves whether and when they will bear children, and how many.

Without control of their fertility, women cannot have autonomy over their lives and cannot play a full and equal role in society.

Women have a constitutionallybased right to unrestricted, fullyfunded abortion, without legal or other barriers or discrimination due to gender, class, ethnicity, race, age, location/region (or area of residence), or any other characteristic, including reasons for choosing an abortion. The rights of pregnant women must not be abridged. A pregnant woman is ‘one person’ under the constitution. Women have the right to receive a full range of reproductive healthcare options, services, and information, including (but not limited to) medical

and surgical abortion, contraception, family planning services, and comprehensive sexual health education.

“Women have the right to access reproductive healthcare services safely and in a timely manner, in an atmosphere of dignity, privacy, respect, trust, and compassion.

It is important not to overlook the fact that reproductive freedom and women’s right to choose is, in my opinion, not a matter for City Council members to approve, disapprove or promote in any way.

Kelowna faced a similar issue here: http://www.theinterim.com/ politics/kelowna-mayor-refuses-toproclaim-annual-protect-humanlife-week/. As a woman, mother and citizen I want to bring it to the attention to mayor and city council I object to this proclamation and am deeply offended.

Carrie Julius Williams Lake

Professionalism went above and beyond Editor: A few weeks ago we were fishing out of Bella Coola when the motor on our boat quit. We sent out a distress call.

A BC Ferry which was returning empty to Bella Coola just happened to be not far behind us and they responded to our call.

They took us aboard and then put our boat in tow.

We were treated with outstanding hospitality, given a tour of the ferry, and plied with coffee and refreshments.

A short while later a Coast Guard craft out of Bella Bella overtook us and took over the tow, taking us safely into the harbour and assisting with the

mooring, again with professionalism and hospitality.

It is beyond comforting to know that in times of trouble we have these dedicated and capable professionals to come to our aid. Some never-wild roses to all of these fine fellows.

A huge thank you to the guys and gals from the ambulance service and the volunteer fire department for the fast response and caring professional teamwork carrying me into the ambulance and getting me to the hospital. Many thanks to each and every one of you.

Eric Berkelaar *** Raspberries to all the Williams Lake residents who honked, fingered and yelled at me on Mackenzie Avenue in August close to the old grocery store. For your information, I’d stopped to make sure a man was OK after I witnessed him go flying off his bike and over the handlebars. You honked, etc., because I was not pulled all the way off the road. I’ve lost a little bit more faith in our human race.

Vintage cameras donated to museum

The Williams Lake Museum and Historical Society

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer After owning them for 80 years, Peter Teichroew donated two cameras to the museum Friday.

One is a Kodak No. 1 Pocket and the other is a Kodak Tourist.

“I bought them for $20 and $30 in 1930,” the Seniors Village resident said.

He used the cameras up until 1945 when he had to mail the film away to Winnipeg for development.

In those days it cost 25 cents to get a roll developed.

Teichroew would put a quarter on a roll of film and mail it in.

Originally from Altona, Man., where he was born June 5, 1920, Teichroew came out to B.C. looking for work and followed a friend to Williams Lake in 1958.

“He’d got a job at Williams Lake Motors as a mechanic, I came up to visit, loved hunting and

He got a job at a sawmill on the Dog Creek Road.

In 1965, after running the trim saws for six years, he lost his hearing and has been hard of hearing ever since, although his hearing aides do help somewhat.

community Parents encouraged to support World Breastfeeding Week Staff Writer Black Press Wednesday Oct. 1 kicks off World Breastfeeding Week, and a member of Williams Lake’s prenatal committee is encouraging mothers to surround themselves with support for breastfeeding success.

“Just like anything, breastfeeding can have its challenges but it’s so much easier when you have support,” said committee member Karen Irvine, childbirth educator and breastfeeding counsellor.

The committee’s role is to identify issues and needs in the community and to make Williams Lake a healthy community

to have babies in.

Irvine said there are many ways to support a breastfeeding mother for success.

Friends can make meals for new moms, help with house cleaning if she wants and offer to sit with older siblings.

Irvine said it’s also important for friends to support a mother’s choice to breastfeed and for mothers to educate themselves on breastfeeding even before the baby is born.

“We know breastfeeding education before the baby is born, translates into breastfeeding success later.”

Irvine said breastfeeding is a beautiful and natural journey mothers can take with their baby, allowing them a special time to connect and bond, and encourages all mothers and their families to embrace the experience.

The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and continued breastfeed-

ing, with the introduction of solid food, after that.

In Williams Lake, women can look for support from the

Workshops help caregivers adjust to change Dementia demands that family structures change, and there is no manual to teach Williams Lake families how to negotiate those changes.

Fortunately, that’s where the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. comes in. It’s offering three free educational workshops next month in Williams Lake.

The Family Caregiver Series, on Wednesday, Oct. 8, provides practical techniques and strategies that

caregivers can begin using immediately.

It will cover Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, effective and creative ways of facilitating communication with a person with dementia, understanding behaviour as a form of communication, self-care for the caregiver, and planning for the future.

The workshop runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Heads Up! An Introduction to Brain Health, on Thursday, Oct. 9 from 9 to 11

a.m., offers strategies and sets goals for improving the health of your mind, body and spirit.

Anyone interested in brain health is welcome to attend.

Later that day, The Transition to and Life in Residential Care workshop provides decision-making and strategies for easing the transition of a family member to a residential care facility.

It runs from 1 to 4 p.m.

All workshops take place at Williams Lake

Seniors Village, 1455 Western Ave. Pre-registration is required, by contacting Elizabeth Canjura-Jelks at 250305-3191 or ejelks@retirementconcepts.com.

The workshops are free thanks to partial funding by the Province of B.C.,Provincial Employees Community Services Fund, RBC Foundation, Seacliff Foundation, Pfizer Canada Inc., Merck Canada Inc., Mott Electric GP, Lohn Foundation, Al Roadburg Foundation, No-

Free Connect Parent Group session starts Oct. 8 A series of parenting workshops are set to get underway in Williams Lake.

The Connect Parent Group focuses on enhancing the building blocks of attachment, improving the parents’ ability to reflect before acting, and adjust their feelings so they respond more constructively to conflict.

The series of free, one-hour sessions is delivered over 10 weeks.

Parents watch roleplays presented by two facilitators that open new choices for responding to their adolescent’s difficult behaviour.

Parents learn, for example, that conflict is part of attachment and is particularly acute during times, such as the transition through adolescence.

Parents learn to ‘step back’ in emotionally charged situations, recognize and modify

How to stay safe on wintry roads Many people will remember the winter of 2013-14 for all the wrong reasons. Record low temperatures and heavy snowfall were the story last winter. With winter now on the horizon once again, many motorists are looking for ways to ensure their daily commutes or holiday

trips to visit family and friends are as safe as possible.

When wintry conditions, including snowfall, compromise driving conditions, it’s best for motorists to stay home. But avoiding roadways altogether is not always an option, so motorists who simply must venture out

onto the roadways this winter can employ the following strategies to ensure they safely arrive at their destinations.

• Consider winter tires. Many drivers are unsure if they need winter tires. All-season tires may suffice for those drivers who live in regions where

Your tires shouldn’t be!

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE LOOKS...

IS IT?

heavy snowfall is uncommon. But winter tires are designed to perform when the temperatures are especially cold and in driving conditions featuring ice, slush and snow.

Drivers who live in regions where snowfall is significant or even expected to be significant may want to install winter tires just to be on the safe side.

Some drivers mistakenly believe that vehicle features such as anti-lock braking systems and traction control make their tires more capable of handling wintry roads. But such features do not provide more traction.

ABS and traction control only prevent drivers from over-braking or overpowering the traction of their tires.

Only better tires will improve traction.

• Drive slowly. Many drivers mistakenly believe they only need to drive slow when snow is falling. But winter weather can make roadways unsafe even in areas that have not witnessed a single snowflake fall from the sky. Wet winter roads can quickly turn into icy winter roads, and no ABS system or traction control device can prevent a car that’s traveling too fast from

Winter storms often make for unsafe driving conditions, and motorists must alter their habits when making winter trips. skidding out. Poor visibility is another reason to drive slowly in winter. Peripheral vision is often compromised when driving in winter, as dirt, salt or sand buildup on windshields and side windows and mirrors can make it hard for motorists to fully view their surroundings.

Even if your vision is not compromised, a fellow motorist’s might be. So ease up on the

gas pedal in winter so you have more time to react to potentially adverse conditions.

• Don’t drive too closely to other motorists. In addition to driving slowly, motorists also should leave extra room between their vehicles and the vehicles in front of them. In such conditions, for every 10 miles per hour drive a minimum of four car lengths behind the mo-

torist in front of you.

So if you are driving 50 miles per hour, be sure to leave 20 car lengths between you and the car ahead of you. This gives you ample time to react and builds in some extra response time should your visibility be compromised.

• Maintain your vehicle. A vehicle should be maintained regardless of the season, but it’s especially important that your vehicle perform at its peak in winter. A vehicle’s battery and windshield wipers are a winter driver’s best friend, but only if they are operating at optimal capacity. Being stranded on a roadside in winter is more dangerous than in any other time of year. That’s because driver visibility is more compromised in winter, and it can be hard for motorists to see or avoid vehicles on the side of the road.

Maintain proper fluid levels and make sure your battery is charged and the gas tank is full before making any winter trips.

Wintry conditions often make driving especially hazardous.

But drivers who adopt certain habits when driving in winter can greatly reduce their risk of accidents.

Fall Is Here... “Be Car Care Aware”

Williams Lake Tribune Wednesday, October 1, 2014

www.wltribune.com A13

Teens are a big driving risk on the road Sharing the road with other drivers means being aware of the abilities of fellow motorists. Whenever a person gets behind the wheel of a car, he or she is placed in the direct path of others who may not be as good behind the wheel.

Drivers with the highest rates of crashes and highway fatalities include seniors and teenagers.

Although many people are quick to believe elderly drivers are the most dangerous on the road, this isn’t entirely true.

The U.S. Census Bureau predicts there will be 9.6 million people 85 and older by 2030, many of whom may still be on the country’s roadways.

Fatality rates for drivers increase after age 65, according to a study

by Carnegie Mellon University and the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. For drivers 85 and older, the fatality rate jumps considerably, to about four times higher than the fatality rate for teenagers.

Cooling System Car Care Canada says keeping cool is important. Of course, they’re talking about your cooling system.

As strange as it sounds, your cooling system is one of the most important things to watch in your vehicle during the winter time. There are two things -- the concentration of coolant, and the amount. In most parts of Canada, a 50/50 mix of coolant and water keeps the coolant from freezing, lubricates the water pump, and protects the cooling system from corrosion. In very cold areas, it may be necessary to increase the concentration of coolant -- but never more than 70% coolant to 30% water.

Lack of experience and confidence behind the wheel is one factor that contributes to teenagers’ higher rate of driving accidents.

However, some say these rates may be unfairly skewed for seniors. An elderly person’s body is more frail than that of a teenager, and a crash of a similar severity is more likely to kill a senior as opposed to a teenager, which can unfairly drive up fatality rates for seniors.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says accident rates for 16to 19-year old drivers are actually higher

than for any other age group. Various factors contribute to the elevated teenager traffic risk.

• Lower perception of risks: Teens are less likely than other drivers to notice a potential threat and to handle it accordingly. It can take time for information gathering and experience to develop in younger drivers.

• Underdeveloped skills: Teens have had considerably less time behind the wheel than

others, which can hamper their ability to maneuver the vehicle and address hazards.

• Taking more risks: Younger drivers tend to speed, violate traffic signals, make illegal turns, and violate other rules of the road more so than other drivers.

This may be to show off to friends or due to overconfidence in driving abilities.

• Substance abuse: Teenagers may have a higher propensity to

drink alcohol or use drugs in social settings, which can compromise their ability to drive.

• Distractions: Having multiple passengers in the car, using mobile phones and texting are distractions that can increase the risk of a fatal crash.

• Night driving: Many seniors get off the road in the evening because of poor nighttime vision.

However, teen drivers may be more active at night, increasing the risk for accidents.

While teenage drivers present the biggest road risks, seniors are not too far behind them. Age-related conditions can impede their driving ability, and, should a crash occur, fragility

FALL IS HERE Time to get your vehicle ready for winter!

Car battery care in extreme weather Cold temperatures wreak havoc on batteries because they slow the chemical reaction inside of the battery.

Batteries work by combining lead plates with lead dioxide and sulfuric acid to create electrons. While batteries can function under myriad conditions, the cold weather tends to degrade high-quality batteries and may render subpar batteries useless. The cold weather can cause the fluid

in the battery to freeze and lose function. A battery that is frozen will not hold a charge, and, as a result, the car won’t start.

There are various ways to protect a battery from failure in the cold, and some of them involve taking precautionary measures even before the arrival of cold weather. * Assess the age of your battery. If your battery is old, now may be the time to replace

it. Batteries differ in how long they last, but many last anywhere from five to 10 years. If your car is still running on its original battery and your card is several years old, it may be a good idea to get a new battery before the arrival of winter. Battery size will not necessarily provide better starting. It’s important to buy the correct battery for the make of your car, which can usually be found inside of the

owner’s manual. * Verify that there is no corrosion. Corrosion can prevent a car from starting just as much as a worn-out battery. Corrosion is caused by a faulty connection that allows battery acid to escape and corrode surrounding areas. Regularly inspect the battery to keep abreast of issues that may cause corrosion.

Carefully clean away any corrosive residue that has formed and

Certain devices, such as clocks and alarm systems, continue to drain battery power when the vehicle is off. Cold weather can sometimes wreak havoc on vehicles.

Station House has deep roots Barry Sale Special to Tribune/Advisor I believe the oldest building in our city is the Station House at the foot of Oliver Street.

It is one of only two remaining original company station houses built during the construction of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway (the other one is at Quesnel.)

It is also the second oldest structure still existing on the old PGE line.

Only the water tower, built in 1916 predates it at Lone Butte.

It had been decided during the development of the PGE that Williams Lake would be a major terminus.

A town was planned, designed to allow ease of access to the railway depot.

In the early summer of 1920, Premier John Oliver himself came up by rail to officially establish the Village of Williams Lake.

In honour of this visit, one of the two main streets, Oliver Street, was named after the Premier.

The other main street was named Railway Avenue, and it ran parallel to where the main

railway line would be situated.

This street’s name was later changed to Mackenzie Avenue, in honour of one of the area’s leading merchants who established the town’s first store on that street.

The very first train to appear in the Williams Lake Valley was a work train which arrived in September of 1919.

Its construction crew set to work immediately, first building a bridge over Williams Creek, then beginning work on the depot complex with its marshalling yards.

A brand new station house was completed by mid November, and the first Williams Lake station agent, Fred Hutchinson, was appointed.

In January, 1920, the first official passenger and freight train pulled into the station.

There was little fanfare, since there were

Hutchinson, like many of the station agents who came after him, lived in the rooms above the station.

These rooms were unbearably hot in the summer months, and very difficult to heat in the winter.

When the trains would go through, the whole building shook.

There was no indoor plumbing — the bathroom for both men and women was an outhouse beside the

Station House, used by both the travelling public and the station agent and his family.

Over the next couple of years, the town began growing. On Railway Avenue, right across the street from the Station House, was the Lakeview Hotel, Fraser and Mackenzie’s store with apartments above it, a dance hall/ event centre owned by Herb Spencer, and Elliott’s Meat Market.

Several small private homes had been built nearby, and in addition, a small tent city had been started.

In those early years, the arrival of the passenger train every week was a major event for the village.

People would head on down to the Station House to see who was leaving and who was arriving.

The train’s passenger list was grist for the town gossip for at least the next week.

On Sunday, July 10, 1921, a young woman was using a gas clothes

iron in the apartment above Fraser and Mackenzie’s store. She heard the train coming and rushed over to the Station House but, unfortunately, she left the iron on.

It did not take long before the whole building was on fire. The blaze quickly spread to the other buildings on that side of Railway Avenue.

The men of the village tried to organize a bucket brigade, but it was too late. Several men helped the postmaster carry mail sacks out of the post office which was located in the store.

After only 40 minutes, half the business district was reduced to ashes.

Two cowboys, Johnny Salmon and Bernard Weetman, lost their lives in the fire.

They had been helping to save the mail when the second storey collapsed on them.

Station House now a centre for arts Continued From Page A18 They were buried in the cemetery at St. Joseph’s Mission, where their graves can still be seen today.

In 1928, a new station agent, Ted Howard-Gibbons, was appointed.

His wife refused to move into the place unless certain improvements were made. Thus, washrooms were installed on the east side of the Station House, one downstairs for train passengers and one upstairs for the agent’s family.

In addition, the upstairs bathroom now had the luxury of a real bathtub with running water, only the second one in town (I couldn’t find out where the first one was.)

Over the years, the PGE depot, with its Station House, round house, switching

ing in old sleeping cars to use as berths for visitors who could not find any accommodations in town.

In the 1960s the PGE freight and operations offices moved over to a new complex on Bagshaw Road, leaving just the passenger waiting room in the old Station House.

The whole depot was in a sorry state of disrepair and, a Tribune editorial called it: “a blot on the landscape.”

In 1981, rather than

see it torn down, a group of concerned citizens applied to B.C. Rail for a lease on this historic building to develop it as a home for the arts in Williams Lake.

So began its life as the Station House Gallery.

Over the past 35 years it has served as a showcase centre for local artists and crafters.

It is still in use today, and it remains a valued piece of our city’s colourful history.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer As he picked up his three-year-old grand daughter Natyra to give her hug, Lawrence Elkins said he was about her age when he first rode a horse.

“We were moving with a team and wagon and I was crying and crying so my dad put me on a saddle so I’d quit crying,” he recalled.

“I don’t know how long I rode that day, but it sure kept me quiet.”

During an interview at the Williams Lake Stampede while his grandson Cody was competing in steer riding at the Little Britches Rodeo, the soon-tobe 70-year-old said he was the second oldest of 12 boys.

Born and raised on the Anaham Reserve west of Williams Lake, Elkins grew up helping his mom Annie Elkins at home, packing water and wood and helping his dad, Thomas Elkins, raise

Lawrence Elkins cattle on the reserve.

“We had a ranch on the main reserve, the hay fields were on the lower part.”

He attended the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School from kindergarten until Grade 4, attended Grade 4 and 5 at the Anaham Indian Day

School, and then was back at the mission until he went into Williams Lake for high school.

“They were lonely times, I missed my family and parents, but two of my brothers were there,” he recalled of being at residential school, al-

though he said playing hockey in the school’s house league was a highlight.

He also played recreational hockey and softball on the reserve.

Eventually he quit high school and went home to work with his father, who was now doing guiding as well

as raising cattle.

“I assisted dad with moose hunting and all his American clients,” Elkins said, adding most of them came from the west coast of Washington and Oregon, sometimes California.

Elkins was heavily involved with the rodeo circuit competing in saddle bronc riding and competed for 20 years mainly in B.C. He was 16 years old the first time he competed, although that was the bareback event.

In 1978 he garnered the title of North American Champion in Saddle Bronc Riding, and still has a buckle at home he won during a state fair in Spokane, Wash.

After helping his dad with cattle, Elkins branched out on his own in 1976, raising cattle until 2004.

These days he continues to work as a cowboy, chasing cows at Chilko Ranch, assisting with weaning, branding and shipping cattle. He also owns a

dozen head of horses and figures he’s put in more than a million miles on horseback.

Elkins has lived on the reserve all of his life and has five grown children — Junior, Trudy, Carmen, Tyler and step daughter Geraldine.

A self-described hockey grandpa, he can be seen hanging out at the hockey rink

on the weekends or at tournaments with his wife Rose who was a Stump, although this year they will be dividing duties because grandson Cory Loring is playing for a rep midget team in Prince George.

When asked about First Nations politics, Elkins shrugged.

“I’m not interested in it,” he smiled.

Congratulations to all the senior athletes from Williams Lake and area who won 17 medals competing in the North Central Zone at the BC Seniors Games held in Langley from Sept.

9-13.

Also congratulations to all the seniors who entered articles in the Harvest Fair.

There are so many talented people who enter their works of art each year in the fair for all to enjoy.

It was equally enjoyable to see many of our young children enter their exhibits,

as well.

The parents are to be commended for encouraging their children to participate.

There have been some changes in the Seniors Activity Centre board of directors: Pat Cullum is the new interim president and Pam Abrahamse will serve as the secretary.

National Seniors Day is celebrated on Oct. 1.

During the month of October everyone in the community is encouraged to honour and celebrate seniors for their valuable contributions

to society as leading mentors and role models.

The Old Age Pensioners Organization Branch 93 will be having its fall pancake breakfast on Saturday, Oct. 4 at the Seniors Centre from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Be sure to bring the whole family and friends for a hardy breakfast, a great way to start the day.

The OAPO will have its fall, good used winter clothing sale on Oct. 25-26 at the Seniors Centre downstairs.

Use the side entrance.

Bring used clothing for the sale to the centre by Oct. 23 so it can be sorted before the sale by the volunteers.

The October monthly meeting of the OAPO Branch 93 will be at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 9 at the Seniors Centre.

Please come as new members are always welcome. Coffee, tea and refreshments are served at the meeting.

It's a great time to socialize and to get acquainted with this energetic group.

Until next month, enjoy the fall before winter descends upon us.

HERBED LENTIL AND BARLEY SOUP

55 Sudoku 55 plus

This soup is easy, healthy, colourful, delicious, and almost as thick as a stew.

It’s a great source of fibre and protein, which makes it especially good for vegetarians.

It is also inexpensive and freezes well. You can serve it with a slice of whole wheat bread, a small green salad and low-fat yogurt or fruit for dessert.

Ingredients: • 2 tbsp (25 ml) vegetable oil (canola) • 1/2 medium onion, chopped • 1 clove garlic • 1/2 medium carrot, finely chopped • 1 tbsp (15 ml) parsley flakes (or 2 tbsp fresh) • 1/2 cup (125 ml) green or brown lentils • 2 1/2 cups (625 ml) water • 1 tsp (5 ml) dried oregano • 1 tsp (5 ml) dried thyme • 1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried sage • 1/4 cup (60 ml) pearl barley • 14 oz (398 ml) tin chopped tomatoes, with juice

• Lemon slices (optional) • Universal seasoning to taste Instructions: 1. In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat.

2. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly browned.

3. Add garlic, carrots and parsley.

4. Cover and cook over low heat until carrots are tender.

5. Add lentils, water, oregano, thyme, sage, barley and tomatoes.

6. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook (partially covered) until the lentils are tender, about 1 1/2 hours. If the soup is too thick, add more water.

7. Season and garnish with lemon slices.

Our recommendation: Lentils come in three colours: red, green and brown.

All are very high in fibre and folic acid (also called folate, a B vitamin).

We recommend green or brown lentils for this recipe because they hold their shape better when cooked.

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Friday, Oct. 3 and Saturday, Oct. 4 Stampeders face Kangaroos and Tomahawks

Greg Sabatino/Tribune file photo

The defending Coy Cup champion Williams Lake Stampeders return to the ice for the Central Interior Hockey League season opener this Friday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex against the Quesnel Kangaroos starting at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday Williams Lake travels to Lac La Hache to take on the Tomahawks beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena.

Stamps to host Kangaroos in opener Friday Look to test new chemistry with multiple additions Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The defending 2014 Coy Cup champion Williams Lake Stampeders will open the Central Interior Hockey League season at home this Friday facing their northern rivals, the Quesnel Kangaroos.

Stampeders captain and current acting coach Aaron Zurak said the team finalized its roster for the senior men’s ‘AA’ hockey season last Thursday, and thinks they’ve only gotten stronger.

“We had a ton of guys coming out for tryouts,” Zurak said.

“We had to even make some cuts this year. Usually we get the same group of guys every year and the odd, new good addition but this year the turnout was really good.”

Joining this year’s club will be new additions Dylan Richardson — who was a member of the team during the 2013 Coy Cup championship win — defenceman Caleb Roy of Cranbrook, local brothers Chad Wilde and Drew Wilde (both from the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s junior ‘B’ Chase Heat), and local Kurtis Bond, who most recently played for the KIJHL’s Princeton Posse and Fernie Ghostriders.

“We got a lot deeper in skill

level,” Zurak said, adding most of last year’s core will be returning to this year’s squad.

“All four of our lines could be first or second lines. We’re going to be really rolling the lines this year because of how deep our team is.”

He said even on defence the Stampeders have eight or nine defencemen who could suit up on any given night.

“It’s going to be tough working everybody in and out of the lineup but that’s what you’ve got to do when we’ve got that much interest from players.”

Out of this year’s CIHL is the Houston Luckies, due to lack of player interest, but Zurak said there are still seven solid teams composing both the east and west divisions.

Comprising the east division will be the Stampeders, the Lac La Hache Tomahawks and the Quesnel Kangaroos.

In the west are the Kitimat Ice Demons, the Smithers Steelheads, the Terrace River Kings and the Prince Rupert Rampage.

Having Quesnel and Lac La Hache both within close proximity of Williams Lake is also a bonus, he said, as the east division teams will meet several times throughout the season.

“We’ve only got one big trip

on the Oct. 18 weekend,” he said.

“We go all the way to Prince Rupert and Kitimat, so we’ll leave on the Friday night. Other than that we’ve got Quesnel and Lac La Hache for the rest of our games, and Prince Rupert, Kitimat and Terrace all come here to play us.”

One team the Stampeders won’t meet during this year’s 16-game regular season will be perennial rivals, the Steelheads.

“They’ve got a solid core of guys up there every year, so I think they’ll be pretty strong. I think Terrace is improving every year — the last three seasons they’ve just been getting better and better.”

One Stampeders’ mainstay who won’t be suiting up for the club this season is sniper Francis Johnson, who will join the Tomahawks to play with his brother-in-law and former Stampeder, Wilfred Robbins.

“They play really well together, so that’s really going to make Lac La Hache a lot stronger when Wilf and Franny are on the ice together,” he said.

As for what the Stampeders expect from the Kangaroos this Friday, Zurak said it should be a tough battle.

“Quesnel, we expect them to improve every year,” he said.

“They’re always a tough team to play against … they play really hard every shift, so every game’s always close against them and we’re going to have to make sure we’re ready.”

The Stampeders are also still looking for a head coach or a head coach/general manager to lead them through the 2014/15 season. Anyone interested is asked to contact Aaron at 250305-4433, or Stampeders’ president Marko Zurak at 250-3054499.

Friday night’s home opener will be billed “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” night in helping raise awareness of breast cancer. Players will be wearing pink laces and using pink tape.

Anyone who wears pink to the game will receive a free cotton candy, while supplies last.

“It’s a big home opener so it’d be good to see the fans out,” Zurak said. “It’s always a good battle with Quesnel. They’re rough and tough and there are lots of goals scored in those games, usually.”

Puck drop Friday is at 7:30 p.m. at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

On Saturday the Stampeders travel to Lac La Hache for an away tilt with the Tomahawks.

Puck drop will be 7:30 p.m. at the Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena.

The Williams Lake Stampeders play its Central Interior Hockey League season opener this Friday, Oct. 3 against their northern rivals, the Quesnel Kangaroos, starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Cariboo Memorial Complex. The following evening the Stamps travel to Lac la Hache to face the Tomahawks at the Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena.

Bauer, Hockey Canada launch new learn-to-play program Bauer Hockey and Hockey Canada announced Sunday they will be offering The First Shift, a new type of learn-to-play hockey program this fall, designed to introduce kids and families to the game in a fun, convenient and practical way.

The First Shift will be available in 30 markets this fall across Canada, including Williams Lake, B.C., and is part of Bauer Hockey’s global Grow the Game initiative to add one million new families to the game by 2022.

“We’re excited to bring The First Shift to Williams Lake and expand it across Canada because we’ve found it’s a proven model to welcome and attract families to our great game,” said Mary-Kay Messier, who leads the program for Bauer Hockey as director of

In the surveys, 100 per cent of parents said they would recommend the program to a friend, 100 per cent of respondents said their children had fun and nearly 80 per cent went on to sign up with their local minor hockey association.

to our 2014 Volunteers and Supporters A Step Ahead “Serving on Local Government: Myths versus Reality” Are you considering a run for City Council, the School Board, or the Regional District (as an Electoral Area Director)? Do you have questions about the work of an elected official and what it entails?

As you may know, 2014 is a local election year. Nominations close on October 10th, and voting is on November 15th.

Potential nominees are invited to attend an evening information session on October 1st, 2014. Our intent is to provide clarifications, address your questions, and help you make an informed decision about running for elected office. The following topics will be addressed: • Common myths about serving as an elected official; • Roles of individual members versus roles of the Council/Board as a collective body; • Protocols for Council/Board meetings: Debating, voting, motions; • Decision making goals, principles; the duty to constituents versus broader duties; • Interactions between the Council/Board and the administrative staff; • Interactions of the Council/Board and individual members with the community; • Transparency versus risk management (open meetings versus closed meetings); and • Conflicts of interests: Issues and procedures.

Sponsors: This session is co-sponsored by the following organizations: • City of Williams Lake; • School District 27; and • Cariboo Regional District.

Presenters: In additional to opening comments made by representatives from the three sponsors, the overall presentation and discussion will be led by Mr. Eli Mina, a Vancouver based Registered Parliamentarian and Board effectiveness consultant. Since 1984, Eli has advised his clients on effective decision making, chairing meetings, preventing and dealing with disputes and Boardroom problems, demystifying the rules of order, and minute taking standards.
