The Williams Lake RCMP are looking for a hit and run suspect after a Cataline elementary school student was struck by a vehicle while walking to school Tuesday morning.

“We got a call at 8:45 in the morning about a hit and run,” Staff Sgt. Del Byron said Wednesday.

“A student walking at Western and Pigeon Avenues, crossing on the north side, on the east to west sidewalk, was struck by a northbound vehicle going through the intersection and knocked to the ground with minor injuries.”

Byron said the vehicle is described as a black or grey car or van, and it appears the driver was an Asian female, wearing a black jacket, beige shirt and black pants.

“She did get out and ask if the boy was OK and then she got in her vehicle and drove away,” Byron said.

The boy was taken to the hospital and later released.

“We’re asking the public if they have any information about the hit and run to call the RCMP or Crimestoppers [1-800-222-TIPS],” Byron said.

Bill C-51 topic of discussion at public meeting Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Bill C-51 undermines human rights and freedom of expression and needs to be scrapped.

That’s the message a group of local citizens endorsed after hearing Stand Up For the North’s Peter Ewart share his concerns about the bill at a public meeting hosted by the Council of Canadians Williams Lake Chapter Tuesday evening.

When local resident George Atamanenko put forth a motion saying the bill needs to be scrapped, it was supported by the majority of the 50 people who attended the meeting.

“Bill C-51, which is titled The Anti-Terrorism Act of 2015 was introduced on Jan. 30,” Ewart said. “Interestingly enough it was not introduced to the elected members of parliament as it should have been, but to a rally

of police chiefs, special agents and supporters in Richmond Hill, Ontario.”

Prime Minister Harper has argued the bill is to make people safer from Jhadi terrorism which he claims is one of the greatest threats the world has ever seen, Ewart said.

“Having legislation aimed at terrorism is one thing, but experts and others say this bill goes way beyond that and overreaches to such a degree that it threatens the fundamental rights of all Canadians.”

Local resident Laura Zimmerman said after reading through the documents twice she was disgusted.

“It says no civil proceedings lie against any person for their disclosure in good faith of information under this act,” Zimmerman said.

“So if I decide that I don’t like my Islamic neighbour I can report

them because I think their suspicious and they can be investigated?”

Responding Ewart said yes they could be reported, subjected to an investigation and never told about it.

“Normally in a court you would be present to hear complaints against you but under this legislation, you’re not allowed there, neither is your lawyer. Who is there is Canadian Security Intelligence Service and a judge,” Ewart said.

Michael Atwood said he’s been protesting various things for 40 years, beginning in university.

“We are all becoming the enemy and we’re not,” Atwood said. “We are just standing up for what we believe.”

Several people at the meeting said they hope Ewart can return to Williams Lake to hold a second meeting about the bill.

YOUTH FIDDLERS STUDY WITH EXPERT

Mental health workers benefit from mapping project Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Maps documenting the experiences of children and their families navigating the child and youth mental health system in B.C. are being used to help professionals and families in the CaribooChilcotin.

At a recent meet and greet organized by the Cariboo Local Action Team, one of 16 in the province working as part of a large collaborative co-ordinated by the Doctors of BC and the Ministry of Health, two samples of maps were on display.

Dr. Glenn Fedor of the action team encouraged participants to give the team feedback on the maps.

“These are maps of Aboriginal youth journeys with mental health and some of the barriers they’ve faced,” Fedor told the room.

One of the maps illustrates the two-anda-half year journey of a youth whose name has been changed to Sky. It was developed after a facilitator with

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Child Mental Health Collaborative project manager Anna Meyers, chair Dr. Glenn Fedor and board member, Boys and Girls Club executive director Matt Neufeld, stand in front of patient journey maps.

Impact BC worked with Sky’s mom.

His story begins in the fall of 2012 when at the age of 15 he tells his family he’s been cutting himself.

When his mom takes him to the family doctor he is prescribed with a sleeping medication.

Sky then shares more about his struggle with his mom. Through the next few months there are more attempts at suicide. He ends up in emergency at the hos-

pital, followed by visits to a psychiatrist three hours away. Eventually Sky is admitted to Maples, six hours away, and returns home with better coping skills.

By January 2015, Sky had returned to school three days a week with good support from Maples outreach staff and Williams Lake teachers.

The second map on display was developed by bringing together members of the com-

munity to develop a common patient journey, encompassing the experiences of many youths.

It is called the story of David and represents the complex challenges First Nations youth and their families face when accessing current mental health services in the area.

This time the Impact BC facilitator did a series of interviews with rural First Nations service providers, commu-

nity members and clinical staff who provide mental health services to the region’s rural First Nations communities.

The map incorporates the historical and present day influences of colonization, residential schooling and assimilation, intergenerational trauma, loss of territories, language and culture, systemic discrimination, and over representation of First Nations and Aboriginal people in the child and youth welfare system and the criminal justice system.

All of the mapping took place at Denisiqi Services Society on Jan. 20 and Feb. 23.

Present in the room were members of the local action team as well as additional participants from services such as the Cariboo Friendship Centre, Interior Health, School District 27, MCFD, the Tsilhqot’in National Government, Communities That Care, Denisiqi Services Society and First Nations service providers working in rural communities

who have lived experience navigating mental health services for their families.

The first step was to tell David’s story and then map his journey through services.

As the steps in David’s journey were told, service providers and participants identified existing barriers.

Through this process, the map started to take shape.

For the second session the draft map was provided to the same service providers who had been invited to come together to give input on solutions to barriers identified in the initial session.

The goal of creating the map is not only to highlight key information to help the Local Action Team achieve their goal of improving access to mental health services for children and youth in our community, but the map can also be used as a tool to invite input and further collaboration with rural First Nations communities as professionals continue to work together.

Axing Abbott raises questions Hey, Christy Clark. It appears you are missing a knife from your collection.

Sadly, we know where it is buried — deep between the shoulder blades of former Shuswap MLA George Abbott.

Abbott, who was previously the minister of aboriginal relations, was preparing to take over as the head of the B.C. Treaty Commission when Sophie Pierre completes her term April 1.

Suddenly, he gets a call from Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad, the very man who asked Abbott to take on the position six months ago, to say it was a no-go following a closed-door cabinet discussion.

“It’s not what I expected to

hear,” said Abbott.

Why the sudden change in direction from senior levels of the provincial government?

Even as he was kicked to the curb, Pierre expressed dismay and praised her one-time successor.

“George Abbott is a man of integrity, intelligence and extensive experience who would have benefitted the treaty process, First Nations and all British Columbians,” stated Pierre.

Both the federal government and First Nations had approved of Abbott’s appointment, so why the sudden flip-flop from the provincial cabinet?

Easter traditions embedded in family enjoyment When I did the question of the week for the Tribune on Monday I asked people about a favourite Easter tradition.

Several people said they cook a ham, some said they liked to colour eggs, and one woman told me growing up her mom always gave her a pineapple instead of candy.

Two women said they would be attending church services throughout the weekend, but one didn’t want her photograph in the paper, so I left her alone.

The woman who agreed to a photo said her congregation would be holding a potluck on Sunday.

“There are lots of people who don’t have family so it’s a nice idea,” she told me. I agreed.

For Christians Easter is a big church weekend and often churches hold extra services.

For example, at Cariboo Bethel Church there’s an ecumenical service on Friday morning at 10 a.m. and at Sacred Heart Catholic Church there’ll be an

There aren’t any community-wide Easter egg hunts that I know of, but I’m sure many homes and neigbourhoods will have their own.

Last weekend our neighbours had an early Easter dinner with their children and grandchildren.

As our sons loaded up their bikes for a run down Fox Mountain they were watching the neighbour’s grandchildren hunt for coloured eggs in the yard.

“I want to hunt for Easter eggs,” our 19-year-old muttered.

I suddenly remembered when he was a little guy and his big sister bought her brothers plas-

There the boys were, running around our yard hunting for eggs and slashing their weapons.

When we lived in Prince Rupert, there was a hiking trail a

few kilometres outside of town called Butze Rapids.

The trail meandered through the rainforest, dipped down along the water and past the rapids which reversed depend-

ing on the tides.

Friends who had a son who was reluctant to hike, came up with a good idea one Easter Sunday.

They told their little guy it was the Butze Rabbits trail, hid a few eggs ahead of time, and enjoyed a nice family hike although he often asked to return to the trail, hoping for more eggs.

Because I married a person of Polish descent, I make pierogies every year.

I make them with cheese and potato filling for sure and once in a while I make them with sauerkraut, but only when the older kids are home.

My husband also makes cottage cheese crepes cooked in cream.

Yes, we will need to take a lot of walks during the weekend to make up for our feasting. Besides, we all like chocolate too.

Treaty trouble has deep roots in B.C. Why did the B.C. government suddenly slam the door on their old friend George Abbott, after spending months recruiting him to head up the B.C. Treaty Commission?

The instant media narrative, embraced by a shocked Abbott and then by NDP leader John Horgan, was that this was payback for grievances nursed by Premier Christy Clark from the 2011 B.C. Liberal leadership contest.

Done on a whim, Horgan said after a week grilling Clark and Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad. Clark is suddenly a sore winner, lashing out, wrecking two decades of careful and costly treaty-making.

Like many instant media narratives, this one makes no sense and is almost certainly wrong.

If Clark was resentful about the roasting she received from leadership rivals Abbott and Kevin Falcon, she had an odd way of showing it.

She appointed Falcon as finance minister to drive a stake into the harmonized sales tax, and Abbott as education minister to fashion a pre-election truce with the ever-hostile teachers’ union.

Both completed their unlikely tasks and retired as heroes of the party in 2013.

Outgoing chief treaty commissioner Sophie Pierre was as dismayed as anyone at the news of Abbott’s demise. While the two were in transition meetings, Pierre learned that she was not

Clark went further when questioned by reporters about the sudden reversal. The future of aboriginal relations in B.C. may or may not include the B.C. Treaty Commission.

“There have been some results, but four treaties in 22 years for $600 million is not enough result,” Clark said.

“We have to be able to move faster, and we have to find a way to include more First Nations in the process.”

That $600 million is mostly loans, from the federal government to First Nations to finance treaty talks. Of every $100 spent trying to honour the century-old duty to sign treaties across B.C., $80 is a loan from Ottawa, $12 is a grant from Ottawa and $8 is a grant from B.C. The plan was for First Nations to repay their loans out of cash settlements made to them

for 100-odd years of uncompensated resource extraction, which is now accepted as being contrary to British and Canadian law.

It was the blunt-spoken Pierre who first acknowledged this hasn’t worked.

Some of the 50 First Nations stuck at the treaty table have borrowed too much to go on, she said last year, calling for an “exit strategy” that forgives debt.

The probability of the B.C. government making this decision without talking to the federal paymaster is exactly zero.

I’m told the province’s clumsy timing had something to do with Ottawa’s late demands.

I asked Clark if her plan to settle land claims faster was anything like the 2009 attempt

by Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister Jessica McDonald to negotiate a province-wide deal declaring aboriginal title. Clark sidestepped the question, saying only that the 150 B.C. First Nations not at the treaty table need a say and a solution too.

(McDonald now faces a similar legal gridlock as the Clarkappointed CEO of BC Hydro, trying to build the Site C dam.)

Pierre, a veteran administrator from the Ktunaxa Tribal Council in the Kootenays, made a prophetic statement when her term as chief commissioner was extended three years ago. She said if Ottawa isn’t prepared to give federal negotiators a realistic mandate on compensation and sharing of salmon rights, they should “shut ’er down.”

Her advice may have been heard after all.

Politics often at odds with good forest management It appears balancing budgets often means research programs are the first to disappear.

My observation is specific to the research program in what used to be the Cariboo Forest Region.

The research program has been reduced considerably and it doesn’t appear that any new staff have been hired to replace those who have left.

A recent example of the need for sufficient staff and resources is contained in the chief forester’s report on the reduction of the annual allowable cut (AAC) for Williams Lake Timber Supply Area (WLTSA.) The 60-page report by the chief forester, “AAC rational for Williams Lake TSA, February, 2015,” gives the background and rational for his decision to reset the AAC

Forest Ink Jim Hilton to three million cubic metres (reduced from 5.77 million cubic metres.)

He uses the harvesting history from the last seven years as one of the factors to support his determination.

He also lists four factors that will impact the short-term (10year) harvest level and 13 factors that could impact the mid-term (60-year) AAC. The mid-term reduced harvest is 1.5 million cubic metres of live

volume (880,000 cubic metres of non pine trees and 620,000 cubic metres of live pine volume recovered when harvesting mountain pine beetle stands.)

One of the unique features of this determination is the concern of the chief forester that new information or major changes may occur in the management assumptions which could cause him to revisit the determination prior to the 10 years required by legislation.

For example, the chief forester expects the short-term (10-year) harvest to be as much as possible in the mountain pine beetle stands and the harvest volume of live trees to stay within the bounds he set.

He expects the government staff to monitor and report semiannually the harvest performance

of the licensees and recommend a new timber supply review if warranted.

He also expects district staff to make recommendations on a partition of the harvest if needed.

In addition, he describes nine considerations he expects the government staff to monitor and research which are critical in determining the impact on the midterm AAC determination.

As he notes this will depend on the staff and financial capacities of the government.

There was an indication in the 2007 determination that insufficient resources may have resulted in an omission in one of the net downs when it was reported the caribou wildlife habitat area (amounting to an underestimate of 4.4 per cent) was “inadvertently

overlooked.”

The government needs to clarify the staff levels and resources that are to be involved with the research and monitoring as suggested by the chief forester.

It is my opinion we should also monitor the amount of residual material that is burned following harvesting and be doing more research on uses of fibre other than producing saw logs.

As indicated in previous articles more work needs to be done on the impacts of climate change on silviculture practices.

Jim Hilton is a professional agrologist and forester who has lived and worked in the Cariboo Chilcotin for the past 40 years.

Now retired, Hilton still volunteers his skills with local community forests organizations.

In the short time it has been on the festival circuit this film is already being called a blockbuster.

I am not a fan of vampire films and the undead usually leave me cold. But I have to admit I really, really like this film.

It is such fun, crazy, dark, sweet, and yes, it is bloody. Bloody good, too!

Maybe that is because it comes from New Zealand and writers/directors/ co-stars are Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, who is of Maori descent. Clement and Waititi are also the creators of the HBO hit series Flight of the Conchords.

These guys are absolutely hot. A bit about the film: Deep in the heart of Wellington, New Zealand, lies a house like many others, but within lives a group of housemates unlike any you have seen.

Join a documentary crew as they are given unparalleled access into the lives of a posse of vampires — the sweet and adorably youthful

The Williams Lake Film Club screens the New Zealand film What We Do in the Shadows Tuesday evening.

Viago (Waititi), bad boy Deacon (Jonathan Brugh), the lust-filled Vladislav (Clement) and the 8,000-yearold Nosferatu-crusty Petyr (Ben Fransham) — as they quarrel over dirty dishes, discuss the latest trends in technology and fashion, antagonize the local werewolves, cruise clubs for lovely ladies, and deal with the rigors of living on a very, very strict diet. When Petyr turns hipster Nick (Cori Gonzales Macuer) into a vamp, the guys must show him the ropes — and rules — of eternal life.

How do you live with the things you’ve done, when you know you will have to live with yourself forever?

What we do in the Shadows perfectly mimics reality-show conventions like the self-narration with which the film opens: “So, it’s six in the evening, which is when I wake up. This is always the really scary part for me,” Viago confides as he checks to see if the sun is finally down.

LOCAL NEWS

School district initiates stakeholder review Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer School District 27 trustees are seeking the public’s help in reviewing several major issues facing the district.

The stakeholder engagement process is being facilitated by the Rossland-based company thoughtexchange and will involve e-mail input, says Superintendent Mark Thiessen.

“All staff and most parents will receive an e-mail in the next couple of days that will invite them to be

a part of the engagement process,” Thiessen says.

“If parents or community members do not receive an e-mail but would like to add their input, they can visit the district’s website (www.sd27.bc.ca), and click on the relevant link.

“They will be taken to a landing page where they can register for the thoughtexchange process.”

District staff, parents, secondary students and the community at large are being asked to provide input and comments to as-

sist the board and district operations staff in setting new goals and priorities in the following areas of operation: • Review of the major reconfiguration of schools that took place in 2013.

• Creating a new strategic plan to guide the work of the trustees over their next four years in office.

• Creating a new Student Achievement Plan for the next three years. (2015/162018/19).

• Reviewing the district’s proposed new Community Use of

Facilities policy which is in the process of being developed.

The first part of the process is called Share and involves inviting people to provide their thoughts and questions by e-mail and district website links.

This is a 14-day process that will run from April 2 to 12. Between April 13 and 21 staff will moderate the input received.

Inappropriate comments (libellous) will be flagged for removal and shared with individuals making these comments for review.

NITEP Field Centre eyed for TRU north School District 27 and Thompson Rivers University are working together on a joint proposal to establish a NITEP Field Centre at TRU’s Williams Lake campus.

NITEP is a University of B.C. program to provide teacher training opportunities for aboriginal people.

If successful in their application TRU would host the field training centre in Williams Lake from 2016 to 2020.

The School District 27 board approved the school district being involved in the joint proposal at its regular

meeting Tuesday evening.

“School District 27 would offer educational placements and practicum opportunities for NITEP teacher candidates,” explained Superintendent of Schools Mark Thiessen.

“School District 27 will also work together with TRU and First Nations communities and organizations to recruit students for the program.”

The NITEP field program application would require 12 students who would take their teacher training through a blended

program of face-toface and online learning.

Weekend courses would be advantageous in allowing more people in the region to be involved in the program, said Director of Instruction

Jerome Beauchamp.

He said there are a number of part-time First Nations language teachers working in the district now who might be interested in becoming certified as full-time teachers.

phase of the process.

By mid-May the process will enter the Discover stage where reports and results of input will be shared with identified focus groups and then go out to the community.

Reports and results may also be customized for both internal and external use, and shared through a custom website.

Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue!

Near the end of J.R.R Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings Trilogy, there comes, what for me, is a very memorable moment. The Ring of Power has been destroyed in the fire and Mordor, the Kingdom of evil & death, has imploded. Frodo and Sam are now expecting to die as they collapse exhausted as Mount Doom dissolves around them. Everything goes black! In the next scene we see Sam waking up and to his great astonishment he finds himself lying on a soft bed and over him sway wide beechen boughs, through which the morning sunlight glimmers all green and gold. The air is full of the sweetest scent. Even more astonishing Sam finds Frodo asleep in the bed beside him. Sam next hears the voice of his beloved Master Gandalf. “Well, Master Samwise, how do you feel?” “But Sam lay back, and stared with open mouth, and for a moment, between bewilderment and great joy, he could not answer. At last he gasped: ‘Gandalf! I thought you were dead! But then I thought I was dead myself.’” And then Sam asks, musing aloud:“‘Is everything sad going to come untrue? What’s happened to the world?’” (The Return of the King).

While this is fantasy fiction, the question asked is far from childish or fictional. In fact, this question is pivotal to the Easter story and the

PARSONS PEN

BY REVEREND BUBBA very foundations of Christianity.

“Is everything sad going to come untrue?”

On the basis of Jesus Resurrection that very first Easter morning we can answer, “Yes, it is! In fact that process is already happening.”

Because of the process begun approximately 1980 years ago everything sad will come untrue for us as well.

The power of sin and death, represented by the Kingdom of Mordor, has already been broken.

The end of all things has already begun. Something has happened to the world. This is precisely what the Scripture claims for the Resurrection. In the person of Jesus, “one of our race” has

been changed from mortality to immortality, and has entered into unconquerable overflowing life.

And this “one of us”, because he is Son of God, has opened the way for all of us to come into relationship with God and life everlasting if we choose to follow him. Just as Jesus was resurrected, we have the assurance that one day our own mortal bodies will be transformed, and Jesus already risen life can be lived out in us as forgiveness, as faith, hope and love, as prayer and peace, making us children of God, brothers and sisters of Jesus and one another.

Christ is risen. He is truly risen!

And so we can say even now: everything sad will come untrue.

We have a sure and certain hope. “‘A great Shadow has departed,’ said Gandalf, and then he laughed, and the sound was like music, or like water in a parched land; and as he listened the thought came to Sam that he had not heard laughter, the pure sound of merriment, for days upon days without count. It fell upon his ears like the echo of all the joys he had ever known. But he himself burst into tears. Then, as a sweet rain will pass down a wind of spring and the sun will shine out the clearer, his tears ceased, and his laughter welled up, and laughing he sprang from his bed” (The Return of the King)

Dollar Dollar seeks new name Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer After mulling it over for several years Carl Johnson and Katalin Szauer want to rename their Dollar Dollar store in Williams Lake.

To reach that aim, the pair have launched a contest asking for suggestions and said they will reward the creator of a “stellar” name with a $100 gift certificate.

“So far we’ve had more than 50 entries,” Johnson said Friday at their Second Avenue North location.

“And between us we’re constantly generating ideas now that we’ve made the decision to change the name.”

When they first opened the store 17 years ago, Dollar Dollar seemed the right choice.

“Dollar Dollar is a fun name and easy to say, but we’ve outgrown it,” Szauer said.

“We are hoping to find a new name that encapsulates everything we offer, which has changed considerably.”

Johnson actually owns the rights to the name Dollar Dollar and has given other business owners permission to use it.

Not that long ago, they moved the store to its present location in the Hodgson Mall and

“We brought in Wilton cake decorating supplies and started using certified instructors to teach classes,” Szauer recalled. “That was our first move to a brand name in a big way.”

That move was followed by carrying RC remote control airplanes and vehicles, a decision prompted by numerous requests from customers that Johnson bring parts into the store.

Last year the store started carrying brand name toys and scrapbooking and paper crafting materials, because other businesses were closing and there was a vacuum.

“We incorporated elements of those closed businesses into ours,” Szauer explained.

“We also have paper crafting classes offered now.”

The pair is hoping the new name will reflect the store’s new focus. Even with a name change, the store will continue to carry dollar store merchandise because, Johnson said, the store was built on that inventory.

Many people shop at both price points, Szauer added.

“It’s a mix that’s working well.”

Hopefully by the end of April, Johnson and Szauer will have a name that’s memorable and fun, they said.

Anyone with name suggestions can drop them off at the store or post them on the Dollar Dollar Facebook page.

2015 Spring CAR CARE

Spring maintenance check list Getting a spring checkup for your car not only could avoid a summer breakdown, it could save you money on your monthly gas budget.

After what seemed like an endless winter, you may be planning to hit the road for a spring or summer road trip. Just take this factoid as a warning: BCAA roadside service estimates that it helps more than nine million stranded motorists during a summer.

If, like most people, you’re not driving a fresh-from-the-showroom ride - the average age of passenger vehicles is just over 10 years old - it’s time to give your car a little springtime TLC. Following a few easy steps to spruce up your vehicle helps avoid costly repairs.

Take your car to a dealership to get it checked out - or, to an independent mechanic you trust.

Use this spring maintenance checklist to make sure your car is reliable and running efficiently.

Check the battery: You can’t get where you are going if the car won’t start.

Winter is tough on all the starting com-

ponents like the starter and alternator. The battery works harder and can get drained.

Signs of a weak battery: dimming headlights or interior lights; power windows that take longer than usual to go up and down.

Check the brakes: Winter conditions and salt on the roads can lead to corrosion of brake parts. Anti-lock braking systems get an especially hard workout in winter’s slick conditions. Nothing is more crucial to your safety than your brakes, so get them checked.

Trouble signs: pulling to one side when you hit the brakes, squeaking or grinding noises and a brake pedal that feels too soft.

Inspect the tires: Worn-down tires make it hard to stop, even if your brakes are in good order. Try the coin test on your tires: Insert a quarter into several grooves across each tire. If you still have 4/32 inch of tread left and can probably drive safely.

If you have less tread, it’s time to think about replacements.

Even if your tire treads are OK, make sure you keep them inflated to the pressure listed on the placard visible when the driver’s door is open.

You can boost your gas mileage by 3% or more and make the car safer as well. To get an accurate reading, check the pressure of tires when they are cold, not when you have been driving.

Check the belts and hoses: A broken belt or hose can cause problems ranging from the loss of power steering to an overheated engine, but these parts are easily overlooked. Look for cracks and peeling on the belts, softening on the hoses - or ask your mechanic to do it for you. “Broken belts are one of many motorists’ worst summer breakdown surprises.

Test the air conditioning: Turn on the cooler full blast and make sure it reaches that max chill in short order. If you suspect problems, get a mechanic to check it out soon.

Check your oxy-

gen sensor: This one is obscure, but it is important to gas mileage.

Because the sensor helps set the fuel mix going into your engine, a faulty one can cause too much gas to be used - cutting your mileage by up to 40%. Replacing the sensor, which usually costs less than $200, needs to be done every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. And it is the repair problem that most often causes the “Check Engine” warning to light up.

2015 Spring CAR CARE

How to protect your car’s resale value Few drivers start thinking about resale value when driving a new car off of the dealership lot for the first time. Still enamored with that new car smell, drivers can be excused for not thinking of resale value as they put the pedal to the metal and speed off in their brand new ride.

But it’s never too early to start protecting a vehicle’s resale value, especially if you hope to recoup as much of your vehicle investment as possible when the time comes to sell your car or trade it in for a newer model. The following are some ways motorists can protect the resale value of their vehicles from the moment the dealer tosses them the keys.

• Keep all maintenance records. New cars typically do not require much main-

tenance. But drivers should keep records of all work and maintenance done on their vehicles, even if that work does not extend beyond routine tuneups or oil changes. Keeping maintenance records shows prospective buyers you prioritized taking care of the vehicle over the years, and that makes the car or truck more attractive to preowned vehicle buyers who want to avoid buying a lemon or a car that has not been taken care of.

• Don’t overlook looks. Looks can be deceiving, but new car buyers who eventually plan to sell their vehicles should do all they can to keep the car looking as new as it did the day it was first driven off the dealership lot. Much like homeowners benefit when selling a home with curb appeal, a car that looks

good gives buyers the impression that it was well taken care of. But a dirty car or one with lots of dings and dents is a red flag to preowned car buyers.

• Keep a clean interior. New car owners typically maintain some strict rules with

The move is on to produce more fuel-efficient automobiles.

Although alternative fuels have garnered significant publicity in recent years, some automakers are simply shrinking the standard car engine.

Automakers have been producing three-cylinder engines for some time, but are just now starting to reveal such engines to the public.

While these types of engines have traditionally been as-

sociated with lawn mowers, mopeds and snowmobiles, a handful of cars are now being equipped with three-cylinder engines to increase fuel efficiency.

While three-cylinder engines have had the unfortunate stereotype of being puny next to vehicles touting more under the hood, experts say that advances in engine technology have made it possible for three-cylinder engines to produce

more power with less.

Several automakers are experimenting with three-cylinder engines while also promoting other innovations to boost efficiency.

Streamlined aerodynamics, carbon fiber and improved horsepower can change public perceptions of cars with engines that have fewer cylinders.

In addition to requiring less fuel, three-cylinder engines take up less

regard to food and beverages in their vehicles. After all, no one wants their brand new car to succumb to stains or spills.

But the longer drivers have a car the more lax they tend to become with regard to allowing food and drinks into their cars,

and that can ultimately hurt the resale value of the vehicle.

Maintain a clean interior whether you just bought the car or have driven it for a few years.

Much like an impressive exterior leaves a lasting impression, a clean

interior that has not succumb to coffee stains or muddy boots is more likely to impress buyers than a car with an interior that has seen better, cleaner days.

• Drive defensively.

It’s not just what you do to a car but how you drive the car that can affect its resale value. Driving defensively reduces your risk of accident, and an accident-free preowned vehicle is a top priority for potential buyers. But driving defensively also reduces wear and tear on your vehicle, as over time constant stop-and-go, aggressive driving takes its toll on vehicle engines and other components.

• Periodically examine the vehicle history report. Today’s preowned car buyers know to ask for a vehicle history report before buying a car.

If your vehicle history report contains any suspicious or inaccurate information, you may be forced to sell the car for less than it’s worth or delay selling until you can have any issues corrected.

That won’t necessarily happen overnight, but you can avoid dealing with a host of issues all at once by periodically examining the vehicle history report. Any discrepancies on the report can be brought to the attention of your insurance company, who can then work with you to correct the issues and restore your vehicle’s reputation.

Resale value may not be foremost on the minds of new car owners, but the earlier buyers begin to factor resale value into their car-care routines, the more they will benefit down the road.

few brands right now, but the advantages of these smaller

engines may make them more prevalent in the years to come.

Small engines may have big futures space in engine compartments, freeing up more room for interior passenger space.

This can create more space in traditionally compact vehicles.

Smaller engines can improve safety because there is less risk that the engine will penetrate the interior in a front-end collision.

While some three-cylinder vehicles have lackluster

responses with acceleration and road performance, others offer comparable horsepower to some larger engines. According to the automotive website Jalopnik, many modern three-cylinder engines offer power comparable to that offered by V8 engines in the 1970s.

The three-cylinder offerings may be concentrated to a

2015 Spring CAR CARE

Don’t forget to maintain headlights Veteran and even novice drivers understand the importance of visibility when they get behind the wheel of their vehicles.

When visibility is not an issue, drivers can more easily see their fellow motorists and better anticipate potentially dangerous situations. But when visibility is compromised, drivers and their passengers are vulnerable to a host of dangers, including inclement weather and aggressive motorists.

Many things can affect drivers’ visibility on the road, but those who take a proactive approach to improving their visibility can put themselves in a better position to handle any negative situations that may arise.

One of the ways to do just that is to pay more attention to your headlights.

Often overlooked when performing routine vehicle maintenance, headlights must be maintained to ensure optimal visibility for drivers.

The following are a few ways drivers can improve the performance of their headlights to make their vehicles safer for themselves and their passengers.

• Pay attention to the headlights’ out-

put. Perhaps the most noticeable indicator of an aging headlight is its light output. As bulbs start to dim, drivers may find themselves struggling to see during twilight and at night.

That difficulty is not necessarily because drivers’ own vision is failing, but may be a result of aging bulbs whose light output is gradually reduced by the effects of humidity, electrical resistance and filament fatigue. Drivers who notice their headlights are not producing as much light as they once did should know that reduced output is a telltale sign of aging bulbs that need to be replaced.

• Say “so long” to the status quo. Recognizing dimming bulbs is just the first step toward improving the performance

of your headlights.

The next step is for drivers to recognize that all headlight bulbs are not created equal. Instead of replacing existing bulbs with the same type of bulbs provided by their vehicle’s manufacturer, drivers can vastly improve their visibility by upgrading to a bulb designed to provide more light than the standard halogen bulbs found in many of today’s vehicles.

Leading automotive lighting manufacturers produce a range of Upgrade Headlight Bulbs that offer up to 100 percent more light on the road than standard halogen bulbs.

That’s a significant benefit to drivers, as motorists’ visual acuity is reduced by 70 percent at night, when 49 percent of all fatal accidents oc-

cur. The fatality rate per mile driven at night is roughly three times as high as it is during daylight hours.

• Find the right fit.

The right headlight bulb can dramatically improve visibility when driving at night, but what’s good for the goose is not always good for the gander.

That’s because motorists drive for various reasons and on various roads, so the right bulb for seniors who don’t often take to the highways will not necessarily be the best fit for commuters who routinely drive long distances.

Manufacturers make a headlight bulb for every type of driver, and each Upgrade Headlight Bulb creates a better beam pattern that is dramatically longer than that provided by standard halogen lights, ensuring drivers can safely see no matter how accustomed they are to driving at night.

• Let there be light.

Regardless of how effective a bulb has the potential to be, drivers who don’t routinely clean their headlights will continue to have their visibility compromised. Certain preventative measures

SAVE YOUR PAINT FROM NASTY ROCK CHIP DAMAGE

can help drivers address headlight issues before they appear, ensuring their visibility is not compromised. When checking your oil in the driveway or even when you’re filling up at the gas station, take a few moments to inspect your head-

lights and address any issues that arise as soon as possible.

A Headlight Restoration Kit includes a post-treatment that provides long-lasting UV protection for headlight lenses.

The kit also includes a cleaner/polish and restorer/protector so

drivers can restore their headlight lenses to “like new” quality while increasing visibility and reducing glare in as little as 30 minutes. Such quick and simple maintenance can ensure your headlights are performing optimally.

“This year we’re raising money to purchase a newer groomer for our Yank’s Peak riding

area.”

The club’s current groomer, affectionately named Paris, takes two people up to 12 hours to groom the trails from the parking lot to the Yank’s Peak safety cabin.

“Upgrading to a faster, more efficient and reliable groomer will mean our volunteers can groom more trails

for riders to enjoy,” he said.

At the year-end social there will be door prizes, a silent auction, a 50/50 draw, bucket draws, finger food, a cash bar and a WLPKSC highlight show reel.

Cowboy up for sponsorship award Williams Lake cowboy and tie-down roper Virgil Poffenroth is up for the Kimes Ranch International Sponsorship Award.

Poffenroth, who competes on the Canadian Professional Rodeo Circuit, grew up on his family’s cattle ranch in Riske Creek.

“I recently relocated to Alberta to pursue my rodeo career,” Poffenroth said. “I grew up in rodeo and live the ranching life. I

Virgil Poffenroth picked up a rope when I was two and ever since then I haven’t really put it down.”

Last year was Pof-

fenroth’s first year competing in the CPRA. Poffenroth, the 2010 and 2011 B.C. Rodeo Association season leader and the 2011 BCRA tie-down finals champion, said his most impressive achievement was winning the Taber Pro Rodeo with an 8.3-second time.

“I’m gearing up for next season,” he said.

“I’ve been training in the gym, spending all

my spare time in the practice pen and getting my horses back in shape so we are ready to go come April.”

The CPRA season takes athletes through B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and into the northern U.S. on the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Circuit.

Voting goes until May 1 and is available online here: www. kimesranch.com/ sponsorship-voting.
