Political forum slated for Thursday Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The first of two all-candidates forums is scheduled to take place in Williams Lake this week.

Organizers are promising an “old style” format reflecting true politics at the forum scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. in the TRU cafeteria, hosted by Thompson Rivers University and the Wil-

liams Lake Chapter of the Council of Canadians (WLCOC).

“You will stand up, identify yourself and ask your question,” said WLCOC’s John Dressler.

“We are excited to have the allcandidates forum at TRU Williams Lake,” said Dr. Ray Sanders of TRU who will be moderating the evening. “This is a wonderful opportunity for the public as well as for our students to learn about the

issues in the upcoming election.”

Council of Canadians member Peter Smith said five of the six candidates readily accepted the invitation to attend. Conservative candidate Todd Doherty’s campaign office told the Tribune he is not available for the forum.

A second forum is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 15 at the Pioneer Complex from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and organized by the Williams

Lake and District Chamber of Commerce with support from the Northern Real Estate Board.

Townhouse residents targeted by thieves Angie Mindus Staff Writer Williams Lake RCMP Staff Sgt. Del Byron is directing more resources to Terra Ridge in response to a string of vehicle thefts and attempted thefts in recent days.

The adult-oriented townhouse complex located at Wotzke and Terra Ridge Drive off of Highway 20 was the target of thieves, beginning overnight between 7 p.m. Monday, Sept.

14 and 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 15.

Stolen from the area was a 1996 Ford F250 grey and white striped in colour, with diamond cut toolbox and tools in the truck box/back and black mirror extenders.

At about 3 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, it was a neighbour who alerted their neighbours to the attempted theft of a 1998 grey Chevy pickup truck.

Byron said the vehicle, which was moved, received damage to its driver’s window and steering column.

It was later reported that another vehicle was damaged in the neighbourhood overnight as well, with items stolen.

Officers arriving for the dayshift Saturday received a report of another vehicle stolen in the 500 block of Hodgson Road, near Terra Ridge.

The vehicle is described as a 1997, green GMC pickup truck

taken sometime overnight from a residence.

The vehicle also had tools inside.

Earlier in the week, and in a different part of town, another Ford was stolen by thieves.

Byron said the truck was taken at about 5 a.m. Friday, Sept. 18 from the Coast Fraser Inn parking lot.

The vehicle is described as a 2007 Ford F350. Byron said the owner was in town for work.

Byron is urging residents to use anti-theft devices on their vehicles and lock up all valuables.

Byron reports that from Jan. to Aug 31, 2015 there have been 52 vehicle thefts, compared with 54 in 2014 .

Cops for Cancer riders home after memorable tour Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer After pedalling 850 kilometres and raising $20,000 plus, it was the children fighting cancer they met along the way that impressed the Cops for Cancer riders from Williams Lake the most.

“There were a lot of emotions along the way,” said Williams Lake RCMP officer Colby Hendrickson during a welcoming reception at Canadian Tire Monday evening.

“We got to meet a lot of kids that cancer has hit home with and they’ve struggled with it for years and years … we all

on this ride and it makes it very per-

Describing

the

seven-day ride as gruelling, Const.

Dan Cohen said one day there were 10 blown tires and it was a torrential downpour the whole day.

“We had our support crew doing all that work for us, all we had to do was ride,” Cohen said.

Welcoming the riders to the Williams Lake Indian Band traditional territory, band councillor Heather McKenzie thanked them for their efforts.

“Your ride Cops for Cancer brings meaningful hope to the lives of children battling cancer and their families,” McKenzie said.

Canadian Cancer Society community giving co-ordinator Erin Reynolds said initially fundraising is hard, but it’s easy to understand why people would want to give money to help a child fighting cancer.

Eight-year-old cancer survivor Chase Stangoe of Williams Lake is one of nine children the ride was dedicated to.

As Shanna Stangoe stood with her hand on Chase’s shoulder, she said her son was diagnosed with liver cancer three years ago and endured six months of chemotherapy, followed by

major surgery to remove his tumour.

“Thankfully he has recovered and is doing really well,” Shanna said as she thanked everyone.

“Although Chase is a success story there are many who have lost the battle to this horrible disease.

Many we have met along the way are no longer with us.”

Reynolds said there are four tours in the province right now and together they will raise more than $200,000.

“When people ask us why we keep going we say we can’t stop. There are over 200 types of cancer and we haven’t found all the cures.”

Refugees focus of Walk for Harmony Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Retelling the story of her family’s escape from Laos in 1980 is still painful, said Manola Khounviseth during the Walk for Harmony event held in Williams Lake Monday.

Khounviseth said her father was jailed by the communist regime in Laos because he worked for the Western government.

“He was one of the lucky ones because he had an uncle who was a communist and he was able to get my dad out of the camp,” she said as she paused to hold back tears.

“My uncle advised us that we needed to leave, otherwise my dad would be jailed and never come back again.”

Her parents sold everything they owned, and over time her mother paid some merchants to take her brother and sister to Thailand one by one.

“My father and my two aunts decided to swim across the Mekong River and there was only myself and my mom left. So finally we were able to pay another set of merchants to take us across to the refugee camp in Thailand set up by the Western governments of France and the U.S.”

Manola Khounviseth gets a hug from Margaret Anne Enders of Canadian Mental Health after sharing her family’s refugee story during the annual Walk for Harmony held Monday at Spirit Square.

Coming to Canada from Laos in the heart of winter was a shock.

“We were in a motel looking out and there was so much snow which we had never seen before. None of us were actually brave enough to go outside.”

They were sponsored by the government and many Prince George citizens provided for them, especially two families that guided them and even provided them with food if needed.

“The one thing I remember the most is the father of one family,” she said. “He was an elementary school teacher. He spent long hours tutoring us in English and helping us with

our homework. Today I work as a pharmacist and he played a major part in my success. We are still friends.”

Thinking about all that help stills sparks gratitude in her, she added.

“It’s very important for us now, if we have the chance, to sponsor any families that need to escape from persecution from their country.

And when they are here we guide them and provide them with whatever they need because it can be quite difficult to adjust in a new country.”

said Khounviseth’s experience is something many Canadians could only imagine in a nightmare.

“It is hard to understand or have a sense of, but hopefully when we hear stories like yours and those of refugees from around the world, it enables us to open up our hearts and search inside about what we can do ourselves to help out.”

Enders said there are 20 million refugees world-wide and about four million of those

“It really is a worldwide crisis.”

While the federal government is opening up some avenues for refugees to come to Canada, the government is also counting on private sponsors to help, said Sharon Taylor a program co-ordinator with the Immigrant and Multicultural Services Centre.

“The sponsors would help people get to Canada, sponsor them for up to a year and help them get settled into a community,” Taylor said. “We do have some local people who are interested in this both here in Williams Lake and in Horsefly.”

Anyone interested in taking an active role or supporting refugees in other ways is invited to attend a meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 5 p.m. in the CMHA office at 51 Fourth Avenue South (across from Safeway).

P

rime Minister Stephen Harper’s reference to “old stock Canadians” last week raised a few eyebrows as well as triggering numerous interpretations as to what he meant.

He didn’t mean First Nations. Was he referring (fondly perhaps) to Canada’s early days when the Family Compact, an elite group of “upper class” immigrants from the British Isles, ruled the country? I’m told Mr. Harper’s lineage goes back several generations. Mine doesn’t. I’m just a second generation Canadian, but I’m old, white and from British stock. Does that make me old stock Canadian? *** The BC Ferry Queen of Chilliwack has been French sold to Fiji. What Connection has that to do Diana French with us? Well that was the ship that operated the Discovery Coast Passage run that included Bella Coola. The ship received $15 million in upgrades a few years before it was decommissioned during the cost-savings service cuts in 2013. The Province won’t tell the selling price lest it influence the planned sale of two other ships, but let’s hope the salespeople got a better deal than the Campbell government got when it sold the infamous fast ferries. *** Don’t forget the first of two all-candidates meetings at Thompson Rivers tomorrow evening. You will have the opportunity to see the candidates for the Prince George Cariboo federal seat strut their stuff and hear what each party has to offer. *** B.C.’s new $10.45 minimum wage will rank among lowest in Canada, dropping down to 12th out of 13 jurisdictions in Canada. *** Presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont is being labelled a socialist, a dirty word in the U.S. He denies the charge. He says he is a progressive, concerned with economic fairness.

He describes a Utopian country with free higher education, free health care for everyone, “bolstered” wages and “chastened billionaires.” Many Canadians have that dream too.

Our Viewpoint

Numbers game Every politician and would-be MP or MLA knows, or at least they should, that polling numbers don’t translate into seats.

Polling figures from Nanos Research released this week show the governing Conservatives, Opposition NDP and the Liberals in a virtual dead heat among decided voters, with support ranging between 29 and 31 per cent. But even if that was the last poll conducted before election day, it wouldn’t necessarily mean Parliament would split exactly down those lines.

There is always a huge glut of people who are undecided up until the late stages of a campaign – some estimates put it as high as 25 per cent. In a close election race, the number of people who make up their mind just before heading to the polling station is likely far more than politicians or parties would care to see.

It would be interesting to know how many people use polling figures to help them cast their vote. Our guess would be very few.

Unfortunately, releasing polling data has

become a public relations ploy, especially with all the parties commissioning their own polls at various times.

One firm hired by the NDP came back with numbers last week that said Liberal leader Justin Trudeau was trailing an opponent by 11 points in his own riding. A poll conducted for a national media company with a far larger sample size and different methodology found Trudeau to actually be leading by five points.

Political parties hire pollsters to come up with numbers they feel will help them.

Without a doubt, if the numbers don’t flatter them, they don’t publicize them. While stats heads might find the pre-election numbers interesting, the only ones that count are on election day.

So what do we take from this? Voters can do their homework on local candidates and leave the polls for the parties to play around with.

here is a $1,200 jackpot available for every child in B.C. who was born since 2007.

The B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant came into effect on Sept. 1 and families can use it to get a headstart on their children’s education fund.

Parents anywhere in the Cariboo-Chilcotin can go to any branch of Williams Lake and District Credit Union in Williams Lake or 100 Mile House to kickstart their savings for their kids’ future.

This one-time grant from the provincial government will help make your children’s post-secondary education and training more affordable.

Receiving the MLA grant is as easy Musings as opening a Registered EduDonna Barnett cation Savings Plan at Williams Lake and District Credit Union or any other participating credit union in B.C. Our government is working with other financial institutions so they will be able to offer the grant in the coming months.

The beauty of the program is that no additional contributions are needed to access the $1,200. But if you were able to invest $50 a month in the RESP, your child’s savings could grow to $12,000, based on a 3.5 per cent annual growth rate.

We are also working to ensure that low-income families and children in care are able to tap into the grant.

To be eligible for the $1,200, children must have been born in 2007 or later.

Families have three years, or until the day before your child’s ninth birthday, to submit an application for the grant.

For more information go to www.gov. bc.ca/BCTESG or call 1-888-276-3624.

The vast majority of tomorrow’s jobs will require some form of post-secondary education, so this grant is an ideal way to put your children on the road to success.

Saving for your children’s education is one of the most important investments a parent can make, and I urge all families to apply for an RESP to access this grant.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

A voice for the voiceless Editor: Did you know The Choice for Life Society cares for women even after they have had an abortion?

Many women suffer physical and emotional trauma as a result of an abortion. Abortions often cause damage to the cervix making it difficult for women to carry future pregnancies to term. Many women also experience emotional trauma.

For some it begins at the time of the abortion. More often it starts much later, at a time when their child would have reached a typical milestone such as entering Kindergarten.

Where can women find emotional healing? There is a local group called

Rachel’s Vineyard that put on healing retreats for those who are suffering from post-abortion trauma.

The Choice for Life Society has funds available for this group so that those who are unable to afford the cost of the retreat are still able to attend. Rachel’s Vineyard can be contacted at rvkamloops@yahoo.ca.

The Life Chain is an opportunity to raise awareness of what is happening to the preborn and their mothers.

Abortion causes physical and emotional trauma to women. We want women to know there can be healing after an abortion. Abortion also ends the lives of the preborn.

There are 100,000 abortions performed in Canada each year.

Canada is the only Western country that has no legal protection for the preborn. There is no law to stop an abortion from being carried out at any time throughout the nine months of pregnancy. We have a responsibility to stand up for the most vulnerable who have no voice but ours. Perhaps if you look into your heart you will find that you, too, are called to be a voice for the voiceless.

Cecilia Schaubroeck Williams Lake Editor’s note: Last week, Williams Lake city council denied Schaubroeck’s request to proclaim Celebrate Life Week.

Yarn bombing contributions appreciated Editor: And so the second season of yarn-bombing comes to a close.

The Community Arts Council of Williams Lake would like to thank all the people who came on board to participate with this year’s yarnbombing project. Many of the arts council groups put up 3-D displays around town including the Cariboo-Chilcotin Conservation Society, Cariboo Potters Guild, Williams Lake Spinners and Weavers, Cariboo Art Society, Friday Farmers’ market, Quintet Plus, Williams Lake Community Band, Station House Gallery and Cariboo Festival Society.

Not only do these groups provide wonderful art or music for the community, they also brightened things up with displays around fences and in the store fronts.

Business owners at the Delainey Centre, Sight and Sound, and 190 Oliver Street store front let us use

Great big, beautiful roses to the two women and the man working on the paving crew on Highway 20.

On Friday, Sept. 11 some of our crew were headed home for the weekend, when one of our trucks failed.

These three angels in visvests did everything they could, including getting our guys some oil, to try, alas in vain, to get the boys re-mobilized.

When my husband and I went out on Monday to make a second, again fruitless, attempt, a low-bed driver stopped and really went the extra mile to try and help us. Thank you so much.

their windows for displays. B.C. Hydro loaned power poles and School District 27 and the City of Williams Lake allowed us to decorate the chain-link fences.

There have been many compliments on the displays created by the many people who knit and crochet long skinny scarves that were woven into designs on the fences along the Lake City Secondary Williams Lake Campus basketball court.

Participants in ‘Art Meats Culture’ wove on bike rims for this project. One dad and little girl stated that they were excited anticipating seeing their rim on the basketball court at the school.

Chris at the Metal Recycling, and Red Shred’s and Barking Spider saved bike rims for us.

Our youngest weavers were preschool aged, our oldest knitter was 94. In between we had the Girl Guides making arm crochet pieces for the peacocks by Rona.

The White Cane Society mem-

bers knit up a huge amount of material that was put into a gardentype display that was in the window of Delainey Centre.

A whole class of students and their teachers decorated the fences leading down Carson Drive to the Community Garden. Unfortunately a child’s bike was taken off the fence at the high school. This bike was headed for the Conservation Society’s Bikes For All Program.

We just hope whoever relieved it from the fence didn’t destroy it, but instead gave it to a child. We had a laugh when we were taking the rims off the fence. They had all been attached by zip ties but some person took it upon themselves to weave their own rim and then attached it to the basketball court with pipe cleaners. We appreciate this random yarn-bomber.

kept an eye on our truck and, once again, offered their help.

Third time being the charm that it is, we were able to start the truck and drive it home.

On the way past the paving crew, we were met with big grins and waves and thumbs up.

While Dean was changing the truck’s battery, we all had a conversation about paying it forward; thank you again and know that we absolutely will do just that.

The event took place after Sustainable Forestry Initiative Inc. (SFI) and 29 teams of 25 to 100 people across North America planted trees in locations from New York City to Vancouver Island on May 20, 2015.

“As SFI celebrates its 20th anniversary, I can’t think of a more exciting way to recognize and reinforce our commit-

ment to healthy forests and sustainable communities, and to reaffirm that the actions we take today can have a significant and material impact on the future of our forests,” said Kathy Abusow, president and CEO of SFI. Organized by SFI, the effort involved 1,165 volunteers from all ages and backgrounds, including the forest

sector, community organizations, youth groups, conservation groups and SFI Implementation Committees.

A video capturing highlights of the record is available on YouTube.

When mature, these trees will provide clean air to breathe, clean water to drink and help improve the quality of life for many.

Take Back the Night looks to curb violence Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer More work needs to be done to tackle violence in our region, said Irene Willsie of the Violence Is Preventable Committee during a presentation to city council Tuesday.

While crime stats for Williams Lake are down, Willsie said

she is not comfortable suggesting the amount of domestic violence is diminishing.

“There are less calls going into the RCMP, and victim services, but all the anti-violence counselling support services are still recording record case loads.”

Willsie said plans are underway for the Annual Take Back the

Night Event in Williams Lake, taking place Friday, Sept. 25.

The walk will depart from and return to Save-On-Foods, leaving at 5 p.m. followed by a barbecue by donation in the parking lot.

“In September every year, we host the walk to raise awareness about violence in our community,”

Willsie said, noting it’s a way to add a voice to efforts to reduce violence in the community.

“We will walk through downtown on Oliver Street to Third Avenue, where we will turn right along Borland Avenue back to Save-On.” Membership on the violence prevention committee is made

up of representatives from the Women’s Contact Society, the Ministry of Children and Family Development, the RCMP and Corrections, Willsie said, noting the group hosts a series of events during the year.

Proceeds from the barbecue will go toward violence prevention work being done in the community.

Lost hard drive holds 3.4M in school records Tom Fletcher Black Press

Education ministry staff have searched in vain since this summer to locate a backup hard drive containing B.C. and Yukon student information from 1986 to 2009.

The computer memory disk contains 3.4 million education records, including names, postal codes, grades and personal education numbers. The drive also has more than 9,000 personal education numbers for children in government care, connected to information such as health and behaviour issues.

Citizens’ Services

Minister Amrik Virk said Tuesday there is no evidence the information has been taken or misused. After a lengthy physical search of a secure warehouse in Victoria turned up nothing, ministry electronic records continue to be searched to see if the hard drive was destroyed.

Virk said there were two unencrypted backup hard drives created in 2011, contrary to ministry information and privacy rules. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham has been notified and is investigating.

This sensitive information could be connected to names by

comparing the personal education numbers to names through the larger data file. Details on the data on the missing hard drive are online at http://www.cio.gov. bc.ca/local/cio/priv_leg/ documents/reports/Education_Data_Breach. pdf.

A contact centre has been set up through Service BC for specific enquiries. Callers should be able to note when they attended K-12 or post-secondary school in B.C. The contact centre is open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be reached by calling: Victoria: 250387-6121, Vancouver: 604-660-2421. Elsewhere in B.C.: 1-800 663-7867.

Artists demonstrate their art at Station House

Gaeil Farrar photos

Marilyn Dickson demonstrates her stitching technique and talks about the process of creating rust marks on cloth.

Potter Christy Richardson and fabric artist Marilyn Dickson will hold their final artists’ demonstration event at the Station House Gallery this Friday, Sept. 25, from 1 to 3 p.m.

The artists are featured in a unique show at the gallery this month titled “Cloth and Clay an oxidized collaboration.”

Dickson and Richardson are drawn to the power of nature and the strength of humanity. While some of the pieces in this exhibition are bold and simple, others draw the viewer in with subtle tactile detail.

Some of the sculptural pieces by Christy Richardson on display at the gallery.

Throughout the month Marilyn has left a piece in progress in

the piece. She has also left a book on stitching for people to read.

Marilyn says she loves fabric and was inspired to work with simple Indian cotton and images created by rusting objects as a way to explore social justice issues such as the oppression of women, war, poverty and slavery.

In her research Marilyn says she was appalled to learn that there are 35.8 million slaves in the world today, more than now than ever in history.

Christy describes her

work as eclectic and indeed her show features a mix of sculptural and functional pieces.

“Recently I have been making ichibana tiles, imparting relief designs on the surface that are allegorical,” Richardson says.

“They tell stories, but I hope that each viewer will read their own story in them. The large organic sculptures are my way of representing and honouring the hope of new garden life.

The exhibition is on display until Saturday, Sept. 26.

Paws for a Cause raises $5,000-plus Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The weather was frightful Sunday for the annual Paws for a Cause event in Boitanio Park but that didn’t stop animal lovers from raising a substantial amount of money for the BC SPCA. The event raised a total of $5,405.85, all of which stays in Williams Lake to help animals rescued in this area, said Liz Dighton, Williams Lake and District BC SPCA manager.

“After being teased by the sun peaking through the clouds the weather came back with a vengeance,” Dighton said.

“Wind and rain, almost felt cold enough for snow. With so many events happening in the area attendance was down which reflects on the sale and auction bids.

“That being said we did manage to raise a total of $5,405.85.”

She said the new circular route and prize draw was a success and everyone seemed to really enjoy the event.

The silent auction was a hit as always, with many people getting incredible items at great prices, she said.

“We wish to thank all the walkers that came out despite the weather, the individuals and businesses for their support and the volunteers that make the event happen,” Dighton said.

She says there are currently 94 animals in the care of the local SPCA shelter, with about 30

Author Sheryl Salloum will launch the book with an illustrated talk about Sonia and her legacy at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre on Wednesday, Oct. 21 starting at 7 p.m.

Independent and driven, rancher and artist Sonia Cornwall developed her own distinct style of painting, says the biography from Caitlin Press introducing the book.

The honourable Judith Guichon, Lieutenant-Governor of B.C. describes Sonia’s paintings as “very real, warm, alive.”

Sonia captured the nuances of B.C.’s rugged interior in oils, mixed media, pastels and watercolours, doing for B.C.’s Central Interior what Emily Carr did for the coast.

After Sonia’s father died in 1939, her mother inherited the Onward Ranch and a huge debt. To make the ranch viable, a 19-year-old Sonia traded paintbrush for pitchfork, labouring alongside the male ranch hands.

But after marrying Hugh Cornwall in 1947, Sonia had time for painting once again.

Author Sheryl Salloum grew up in the Cariboo and has twice been a finalist for a BC Book Prize and is the author of three other books.

Invite more natural light into your home A

dark home can be dreary and drain residents’ energy levels rather quickly. Natural light has the power to make a person feel more energized, and it also can buoy spirits. As a result, many homeowners want to increase the amount of natural light in their homes. Increasing natural sunlight in a home reduces reliance on interior lighting.

This reduces energy bills and lowers the home’s carbon footprint. Natural light also can help people in a home feel happier and more content.

According to the National Institutes of Health, some people experience serious mood changes during the winter months. Dubbed seasonal affective disorder, or

SAD, this condition may be effectively treated with light therapy. Exposure to more light can alleviate fatigue, loss of interest and sad or anxious feelings.

Homeowners looking to increase the natural light in their homes, be it for medical or aesthetic reasons, can do so in a variety of ways. * Keep the drapes open.

Opening blinds and curtains as far as they will go allows as much light to shine in without having to do major home renovations or spend any money at all. Homeowners concerned about privacy can install a window film that allows viewing from the inside only. * Clean the windows.

Dirty windows obstruct sunlight from entering

New windows may allow more natural light to enter a home.

the home. They also can make a home appear unkempt. Spend a free day cleaning the windows so that they’ll let ample light in. * Install seamless or low-profile windows and doors. Seamless sliding doors enable a large amount of light to enter the home. Such doors can replace an entire wall to

brighten up a dark area of a home. The more windows and doors a home has, the brighter it will be. * Take inventory of dark spots. A room may be dark because it simply does not have a layout conducive to brightness.

Is a wall blocking light from reaching a portion of the room? Think about changing the room’s lay-

out or even making structural changes to improve light distribution. The addition of a small window on a south- or west-facing wall can greatly improve natural light. Using mirrors can also reflect light where it is needed. * Invest in skylights or solar tubes. Both skylights or solar tubes enable light to enter a home from above. Skylights are larger and require considerably more work to install, while solar tubes are more low-profile and can be put into rooms that do not abut the roofline, such as those obstructed by attic space.

The tubular cylinders are installed between the roof and the ceiling and carry light through a reflective tube to the room below.

Diffusers on tubular daylighting devices scatter the rays so the light doesn’t cast harsh shadows, and UV filters can help protect furniture from discoloring. * Trim shrubs and trees.

If trees and bushes are blocking light from entering your home, trim them to enable dappled light to come through. Deciduous trees that will naturally lose their leaves come autumn can be planted on sunny areas of the property.

This way in the summer months they will shade the house and keep it cooler, while in winter more sun will stream in when the leaves are shed. * Create a three-season room. Make a spot in the home where sun will be at a premium.

How to improve indoor air quality W

ith fall soon to give way to winter, many people will soon be spending more time indoors. Winter weather can be harsh, and it can be difficult for fresh air to make its way into a home once the warmer temperatures of summer and fall give way to the cold days of winter.

Poor indoor air quality can cause multiple problems. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, poor indoor air quality can increase a person’s risk of developing pneumonia, and it also may aggravate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma. The EPA also notes that long-term exposure to indoor air pollution can increase a person’s risk for heart disease, respira-

tory diseases and even cancer.

Because indoor air pollution can be so devastating, many homeowners look for ways to improve their indoor air quality, especially before the arrival of winter, when residents of the home figure to spend such a significant amount of time indoors.

Fortunately, homeowners can take many steps to do just that. * Clean with soap and water. Soap and hot water can still clean a home effectively, and this age-old combination might be the healthiest way to clean as well.

Many household cleaning products contain potentially harmful ingredients that can introduce toxins and irritants into a

home. Avoid such cleaners and solvents when cleaning a home. If stains prove too stubborn for soap and water, be sure to open windows when using potentially harmful cleaners indoors. * Purchase an air filtration system. Air filtration systems vary significantly in size, cost and function.

Some systems are designed to remove specific pollutants, and may not be effective at removing additional indoor air pollutants. Larger models tend to be most effective at filtering pollutants like dust, but such units are more expensive than smaller units.

If your home is especially dusty, then a large filtering system may prove a worthy investment. * Open windows and

doors when possible. Introducing outdoor air into a home is a great way to improve indoor air quality.

Of course, opening windows and doors might not be feasible in the middle of winter. But take advantage of any such opportunities when they present themselves.

For example, after cooking a big meal, open the kitchen exhaust fan to allow fresh air into the home. Such fans are not large enough to cause a significant temperature drop in the home, but they can directly remove contaminants from inside the home, like those that might be emitted from gas stoves. * Insist guests and residents remove their shoes.

Chemicals can find their way into a home in a va-

riety of ways, and you and your fellow residents or guests may be tracking them into your home on your shoes. Keep a doormat inside all entryways, and insist guests and residents remove their shoes before entering your home.

This reduces the amount of potential pollutants brought into your home and also makes cleaning the home that much easier. * Break out the mop.

Vacuum cleaners can be effective at picking up pollutants inside a home, but they also can leave things behind. When a vacuum cleaner seems to be leaving some dust behind, take out the mop and, with just a little water, address the areas where dust is still lingering. Water should be enough to do the trick,

and, unlike some cleaning products, water won’t be introducing any additional harmful pollutants into the home. * Smoke outside. Smoking inside a home is inviting trouble, especially during those times of year when the windows cannot be opened. Secondhand smoke is a significant source of indoor air pollution, as cigarette smoke is known to contain more than 4,000 chemicals.

Smoking indoors, whether an area is well- or poorlyventilated, can be dangerous to smokers. Exposure to secondhand smoke puts adults and children alike at risk of several diseases, including asthma and cancer.

If you or your fellow residents or visitors must smoke, do so outdoors.

The many uses for vinegar

heck your kitchen pantry and you will probably find a bottle of vinegar. While this substance can add much-needed tang to favorite recipes and even improve the leavening function of some baking ingredients, its power extends far beyond the kitchen.

Many are surprised upon learning how much vinegar can do. A sour-tasting liquid that contains acetic acid, vinegar can be used as a cleaning product and an influential ingredient in many recipes. Vinegar also is relatively inexpensive, making it a cost-effective home staple.

If you are ready to get more from that versatile vinegar in your kitchen pantry, explore the following ways to put it to use.

Cleaning Vinegar is an effective cleaning fluid, perhaps best known for producing streak-

free windows. Vinegar also can dissolve dirt from painted walls and remove grime from woodwork.

By boiling 1⁄4 cup of white distilled vinegar in the microwave with a cup of water, you can loosen splattered-on food and deodorize the appliance. Vinegar also can be used to deodorize garbage disposals, coffee makers and kitchen drains.

It’s an effective means to removing pet odors from carpeting as well.

Around the bathroom, use vinegar to remove soap scum film from shower doors and tile surfaces. Remove stubborn toilet bowl stains as well. Corrosion and hard water can clog showerheads, and by soaking the shower nozzle in vinegar overnight, you can dislodge any material.

You can rely on vinegar when cleaning up around

your home office as well.

Vinegar can help clean sticky scissor blades or remove ballpoint-pen marks from surfaces.

A vinegar-and-water solution can be used to clean keyboards and other electronic equipment. Apply with a damp cloth rather than spraying the solution directly onto the electronics.

Lawn and garden Vinegar makes an effective weed deterrent and can kill grass that grows between the cracks on sidewalks and driveways.

Acid-loving plants, such as rhododendrons or azaleas, can benefit from a little vinegar mixed in when watering.

If you want to keep ants at bay, use vinegar when cleaning outdoor patio furniture or spray it around areas that are susceptible to ant infestations.

You may find the ants steer clear of the smell.

Health and beauty Some people say that vinegar can be used as an appetite suppressant. Using it on prepared foods may help you to eat less.

Vinegar is handy for relieving the pains associated with sunburns and jellyfish stings. Dot irritated areas with vinegar to relieve pain and itching.

Because vinegar can act as an antibacterial, gargling it can alleviate some throat ailments. Even if it can’t prevent illness, a vinegar gargle can soothe throat soreness.

Apple cider vinegar also may help soothe an upset stomach. Use two teaspoons of the vinegar to one cup of water.

Some people have used vinegar to soften skin and remove corns from feet.

It also may dissolve warts.

Vinegar can not only be delicious in salad dressing, but it also can make windows squeaky-clean.

Be sure to check with a doctor before using vinegar to verify its safety with regard to your particular situation.

In addition to each of

these uses, vinegar is handy in the laundry room, helping to remove stains and rinse detergents from fabrics more easily.

Winterizing can protect your home A

utumn is a beautiful time of year marked by welcoming cooler temperatures and the natural beauty of leaves changing colors. Autumn also has a tendency to fly by, as if the powerful weather of winter simply cannot wait to make its presence felt.

With such a seemingly short time between the end of summer and the dawn of winter, homeowners know they don’t have too many weekends in between to prepare their homes for the potentially harsh months ahead. But such preparation, often referred to as “winterizing,” can make a home more comfortable when the mercury dips below freezing, while saving homeowners substantial amounts of money along the way. * Clean the gutters.

Leaves falling in fall can be

a beautiful sight to behold, but many of those leaves are likely finding their way into your gutters, where they can lodge and cause a host of problems down the road. If the leaves and additional debris, such as twigs and dirt, that pile up in your gutters are not cleared out before the first winter storm, the results can be costly and even catastrophic.

Winter rain and snowfall needs a place to go upon hitting your roof, and gutters facilitate the travel of such precipitation from your roof into street-level drainage systems. If gutters are backed up with leaves and other debris, then ice dams may form, forcing water to seep in through the roof. That damage can be costly and can even cause the roof to collapse inward in areas

with heavy snowfall. Clean gutters throughout the fall, especially if your property has many trees, and be sure to check gutters one last time before the arrival of winter. * Tend to your attic.

Homeowners who have attics in their homes might want to add some extra insulation up there, especially those who recall feeling cold inside their homes last winter, which is often a telltale sign of improper insulation in a home. A good rule of thumb when determining if your attic needs more insulation is to look for the ceiling joists. If you can see the joists, then you need more insulation. * Address leaky windows and doors. Sometimes attic insulation is not the culprit when it comes to a cold home. Oftentimes, leaky windows and doors are the

real bad guys in a drafty home. Fall is a great time to inspect for leaky windows and doors, as the wind outside can serve as your partner. When the wind outside is blowing, take a tour of your home’s windows and doorways, standing next to them to determine if there any holes or leaks that are letting outdoor air inside.

If you notice any leaks beneath exterior doors, install some door sweeps to keep outdoor air where it belongs. Leaks around windows can be snuffed out with caulk or weather stripping. * Test the furnace.

Homeowners typically do not devote much thought to their furnaces in spring, summer and fall. But with winter on the horizon, fall is the time to test the furnace to make sure it’s ready for the months ahead.

Cleaning gutters in the fall can prevent roof damage resulting from winter rains and snowfall.

Expect a somewhat foul yet brief odor to appear when starting the furnace.

That odor should dissipate shortly, but if it does not go away, then your furnace is likely in need of repair.

Such cleanings ensure the furnace works efficiently throughout the winter. * Clean the garage. You might not mind parking

in the driveway during the warmer months of the year, but why subject your vehicles to harsh winter weather if you don’t have to? Clean the garage in the fall so you have an indoor parking spot throughout the winter season. Protecting your car from the elements can add years to its life.

Understanding attic insulation I

nsulation is one of the best investments a homeowner can make, but too often people overlook insulation in favor of more eye-catching renovations. Insulation is not something to be ignored, as it contributes to year-round comfort in the home while reducing energy costs along the way.

According to the Energy Star program, you should add more insulation if the existing insulation is just level with or below the floor joists of your attic. If you cannot see any of the floor joists because the insulation is well above them, you probably have enough and adding more may not be cost-effective.

In addition, check to see if the insulation is an even thickness across the entire

attic. Sometimes it can be thicker in the middle and then peter out toward the eaves.

Attic insulation is measured according to its RValue, which measures the insulation’s ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-Value, the better the thermal performance of the insulation. In many climates, the recommended level for homes is R-38. If you prefer more insulation, increase the R-Value.

Insulation is made from different materials, including fiberglass, cellulose and rock wool. It comes in different forms. Rolls and batts are some of the more commonly used types of insulation. Loose-fill insulation is a loose insulation with no backing that is usually blown into a space.

Loose-fill insulation is one option when insulating an attic.

Rigid foam and foam-inplace insulation are additional types of insulation.

The type of insulation used depends on where the insulation is needed and

AVU

$

KDL-48R550

699

your budget. Certain materials are not applicable for particular uses, and typically insulation that provides a higher R-Value tends to be more expensive.

Examine the cost-effectiveness of the type of insulation being considered before application. You also can mix and match insulations depending on the application.

The U.S. Department of Energy offers these additional tips with regard to insulation. * Consider factors such as your climate, home design and budget when selecting insulation for your home. * Use higher R-Value insulation, such as spray foam, on exterior walls and in cathedral ceilings to get more insulation with less thickness. * Install attic air barriers, such as wind baffles, along the entire attic eave to help ensure proper airflow from the soffit to the attic. Ven-

tilation helps with moisture control and reduces summer cooling bills, but don’t ventilate your attic if you have insulation on the underside of the roof. Ask a qualified contractor for recommendations. * Be careful how close you place insulation next to a recessed light fixture -unless it is insulation contact (IC) rated -- to avoid a fire hazard. * Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions, and wear the proper protective gear when installing insulation.

In addition to making a home more comfortable, insulation also can buffer noise, making the home more peaceful. Insulation can reduce noises from outside the home as well as absorb sounds from inside.

Prep your yard for winter weather A

Visit

s quickly as autumn weather arrives it seems to move aside for the blustery, cold days of winter. Winter can catch a person off guard and the seasons are now less predictable than ever before.

It’s never too early to begin preparing your yard and outdoor living spaces for winter. Homeowners may be sad to bid farewell to the furniture and accessories of the fair-weather season, but time is of the essence when prepping for impending ice and snow. * Clean patio furniture.

Give cushions and structures a thorough cleaning and allow to dry completely.

Cleaning items before storing them for the winter saves time and energy next year when it’s time once again to set up the yard for recreation. If anything is dam-

aged beyond repair, discard it and look for replacements during end-of-season sales when savings can be had. * Move things indoors.

The more items you can store in a safe and secure location the better. Load the garage, basement or storage shed with outdoor gear.

Leaving items exposes them to the elements, and such exposure can cause rust, wear and damage. Flower pots and lawn ornaments also can blow around in winter wind or collapse under the weight of the snow, so collect these items and store them for the winter. Take out patio umbrellas and put them in the shed. If something is too large to move indoors, such as a barbecue or a pool filter, cover it with a durable tarp and secure it with rope. * Cover delicate trees. De-

Autumn is a busy time for preparing your home and yard for the arrival of winter weather.

pending on where you live, certain fruit trees, including fig trees, may need to be covered for the winter. Covering protects them from subfreezing temperatures and helps ensure they will rebound in the spring. Tropical plants should be moved indoors where they can thrive in a heated home. Do

They will rebloom year after year if allowed to do so. * Remove water collectors. Bring in or cover anything that may accumulate water, such as bird baths or kids’ toys. Water expands when frozen, and that

means water trapped in any ceramic, glass or even plastic vessel can expand and cause the container to crack. * Clean up leaves and debris. Piles of leaves not only can suffocate a lawn and cause discoloration, but also can be attractive homes for rodents and insects looking for a warm place to spend their winters. Keep your yard neat and clean to discourage wildlife from taking up residence near your home. * Cover vegetable and flower beds. Invest in some burlap to lay down over planting beds. This helps to keep the ground from freezing over and minimize weeds for next season. * Care for outdoor ponds.

If you have a pond on your property, remove any weeds around it and fish out any leaves from the water. Leaves

will decay in the water and build up ammonia levels that can harm fish. If the pond is small, cover it for the winter.

Also, start cutting back on feeding outdoor fish. These aquatic animals’ bodies begin to prepare for winter by slowing down metabolism.

Continuing to feed them can harm the fish when the temperature drops. * Wrap up pool season.

It’s wise to close the pool and cover it before leaves start to drop. Otherwise you will have a hard time of keeping the water clean. * Plant spring bulbs now.

Now is a good time to plan where you want to put spring bulbs. Once you have mapped things out, get the bulbs in the ground. Bulbs are relatively inexpensive and will provide that first punch of color when winter finally skips town.

Orange Shirt Day a time for discussion Making sure that every child matters is the theme for the annual Orange Shirt Day events coming up in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House next week.

The events take place at Boitanio Park in Williams Lake on Wednesday, Sept. 30 starting at 10 a.m., and at the arena ball fields in 100 Mile House starting at 1 p.m.

Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission Residential School (18911981) commemoration and reunion held in Williams Lake in the spring of 2013.

The event grew out of Phyllis Webstad’s account of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away from her on her first day of school at the mission school and the subsequent recognition of the harm the residential school system did to children’s self esteem and well being.

Sept. 30 has been declared Orange Shirt Day annually

The event is coming up on Wednesday, Sept. 30 this year in Boitanio Park starting at 10 a.m. as an affirmation of commitment to ensure that going forward every child matters, to honour residential school survivors and their families and to remember those who didn’t survive.

The event is also an opportunity to

set the stage for antiracism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year and for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.

Love from all of us.

Canadians are obsessed with talking about the food we’re cooking and the meals we’re having. We discuss the restaurants we’re going to or want to visit with wild excitement.

We photograph our food and share it on social media channels. Trending tags like #foodie, #nomnomnom and #yummy are common in our food-crazed lives.

Yet as the foodie movement continues to gain momentum, so too does the usage of food banks in this country, which has increased by 25 per cent over the last seven years.

This week during Hunger Awareness Week the Salvation Army Food Bank is interrupting its fascination with food to instead bring focus to hunger.

“Hunger is an issue many Canadians are not comfortable talking about,” says Cpt. Isobel Lippers.

“We are going to interrupt the food conversation so that the voice of hunger can be considered.

“Let’s give hunger a chance to be heard as loudly as the foodie movement this Hunger

Awareness Week.”

Residents of Williams Lake and surrounding areas are invited to participate in local events at businesses that are helping the Salvation Army Food Bank in Williams Lake to interrupt the food conversation.

There are ways to help by purchasing the $2 coupons at SaveOn-Foods and Safeway or by purchasing premade up food hampers at Safeway.

Walmart and The Real Canadian Wholesale Club also have bins for food donations.

Since the recession in 2008 Food Banks Canada reports nearly 850,000 Canadians, 37 per cent of which are children, turn to food banks each and every month.

In Williams Lake the rise in need is represented by an increase of 131 per cent in those turning to the Salvation Army Food Bank for support, with more than 402 individuals being assisted this past month.

Hunger Awareness Week Sept. 21-25 was created to provide food banks with an opportunity to educate the public about the reality of hunger in Canada and

Trade In & Bingo

to encourage all Canadians to make a choice to help those in need.

Close to 850,000 individuals turn to food banks for support each month, and close to four million Canadians are food insecure, struggling with not knowing where their next meal may come from.

Today, more than 800 food banks and 2,900 affiliated agencies work in communities across the country to assist Canadians in need.

Farm Credit Canada is an ongoing supporter of Hunger Awareness Week, an annual awareness campaign that challenges Canadians to learn more about the issue of hunger, the important work of food banks across the country and how to take action.

Together, Canadians can make an impact on the solvable issue of hunger in Canada and find solutions to hunger in communities across the country.

FALL

CAR CARE Time to get your vehicle ready for winter!

A windshield replacement is a stone’s throw away Stone chips and glass repair are part of life as a vehicle owner. Windshields get chipped and cracked all the time.

While stone chips are often inopportune, they cannot be neglected and should be attended to in short order.

Even though they may seem minor, small stone chips can quickly develop into a costly repair job.

Chips grow when

pressure is placed on your windshield. Pressure can come from a variety of sources, even something as minor as taking your car though the car wash or when changes in temperature occur.

And, once they grow into a crack, they can no longer be fixed and your windshield will need to be replaced.

Being proactive and repairing a chip in your windshield can save drivers a signifi-

cant amount of money.

A cracked windshield is also a safety hazard. If the glass is cracked it could break and impact your ability to drive safely.

What most people don’t realize is that the windshield is part of the structural framework of the vehicle.

A cracked windshield has a greater chance of shattering or causing an accident.

Take the following

steps if you notice a stone chip in your windshield: • Contact a reputable and licensed supplier for glass repair.

Many have mobile services and they will come to you.

• Talk to your insurance company and find out if the repair is covered.

By being proactive you’ll save money, keep the inconvenience to a minimum and stay safe.

FALL CAR CARE Inspect tires before fall road trips

Road trips are an autumn tradition for many people. Excursions to see the fall foliage can be awe-inspiring, but drivers must make sure their vehicles can handle such jaunts.

Tire inspections are essential before hitting the open road. The following are a handful of steps drivers can take

to ensure their tires are up to the task of fall road trips.

• Give tires the eye test. The eye test can be an effective and quick way to detect tire damage. Uneven wear may be indicative of insufficient tire pressure or an alignment problem.

Uneven wear also may indicate the vehicle is experiencing problems with its

steering or suspension. But many times uneven wear can be remedied by a simple tire rotation, so take your vehicle to your mechanic if you notice uneven wear.

• Look for stowaways. Uneven wear is not the only thing drivers can detect with their eyes. In the course of your travels, your tire might have picked up a

few stowaways, such as nails and screws that are poking into the tire. If you find any freeloaders, take your car to your mechanic, as your tires may need to be replaced.

• Look for cracking or bulging treads. Cracking or bulging treads or sidewalls can eventually cause a blowout, which can put you

and your fellow road trippers in serious jeopardy.

Cracked or bulging treads or sidewalls indicate tires are worn or weak, so bring your car to your mechanic for an inspection if you discover such problems.

• Perform the toonie test. The toonie test can help motorists determine if tire treads are

Road trips can make for great weekend getaways or even more lengthy vacations for those who can’t get enough of the open road. But before embarking on any road trips, motorists should replenish their automotive emergency kits with the following items so they are fully prepared in the event of an accident or an injury.

• First-aid kit: A first-aid kit can treat cuts and abrasions suffered while you are out of the car and even some minor injuries that may result if you are in a car accident. Include essential items like adhesive tape, antibi-

otic ointment, antiseptic wipes, aspirin, bandages, a cold compress, gauze, and scissors. Visit www.redcross.org for a more extensive list of items to include in your first-aid kit, which should be kept in your car at all times.

• Tools: It’s important to include

in your owner’s manual. Inflating tires to the proper pressure takes just a minute or so, but that minute can protect you and your passengers while also saving you money at the filling station.

Properly maintained tires can go a long way toward ensuring the fall road trip season is a success.

worn. To perform the test, insert a toonie, into the tread. If the tread does not reach the inner gold circle, your tire’s treads are worn.

• Check tire pressure. Right before you pack up the car to hit the open road, check each of your tires’ pressure, making sure the pressure in each tire is at the level recommended

tools in your automotive emergency kit.

While a full toolbox might be unnecessary, bring along an adjustable wrench, a flat head and Phillips screwdriver, a pair of pliers, a tire jack and crow bar, an ice scraper, and a flashlight. Extra roadside flares and reflectors also should be packed should you need to pull over and address an automotive problem, such as a flat tire.

Keep a tire pressure gauge in your glove compartment or with your other tools so you can check tire pressure if you feel your car is not operating as smoothly as it normally does.

• Fluids: While it’s best to check all of your vehicle’s fluids before beginning a road trip, it does not hurt to bring along some extra fluids just in case you start to run low while out on the road. Fluids to pack include motor oil, antifreeze, brake

fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Include a funnel with these items so you can easily pour them in should you be running low. Pack an empty spray bottle as well so you have something to spray washer fluid from if a problem arises with your wiper blades.

• Wiper blades: Include an extra set of wiper blades in your automotive emergency kit. Maintaining wiper blades is an oft-overlooked component of vehicle maintenance, so bring along an extra set of blades should your existing blades succumb to wear and tear while you’re on the road.

• Miscellaneous items: Some items that may not seem synonymous with road trips can come in handy should you find yourself in an emergency. Pack a blanket so you and your passengers can stay warm should your car break down at night.

In addition, pack some energy bars and bottled water so no one gets too hungry or thirsty while waiting for help to arrive.

It’s also good to keep a pair of work gloves in your car so you can still use your tools or change a tire when the temperatures dip or your hands get sweaty on hot days.

Maintain tire balance and alignment for a smooth ride It is easy for motorists to take their tires for granted when everything is working correctly. Wheels and suspension systems bear the weight of cars and trucks and must bear the brunt of rough roads, pot holes and any additional obstacles, so some wear and tear is to be expected.

Many drivers know to monitor their tire pressure, but it’s also important to check for worn treads and inspect tires for punctures or damage. Proper tire alignment and balance also is essential for a comfortable and smooth ride.

Balance Balancing tires involves equalizing the weight of the combined tire and wheel assembly so that each tire spins smoothly on the road. Tires are mounted on the wheel assembly, and the chances of this assembly having precise weight distribution

Tire balance is checked on a machine that will measure heavy spots. Technicians will apply weights to the tires to balance any inconsistencies in weight.

is nearly impossible without a little help.

According to Discount Tire, the slightest imbalance in the tires, even as little as half an ounce, can be felt by drivers. Unequal mass can make tires wobble, causing noticeable vibrations.

Mechanics will test tire balance by putting it on a balancing machine. The machine will spin the tire and determine the tire’s heaviest point. Counteracting weights will be placed on the tire hubs to create a more uniform balance of weight. Lead weights are often used, but some are being phased out for other metals, such as zinc, because of the medical and environmental implications of lead.

Tires that are not balanced will not only cause vibration, they also can lead to uneven wear.

Alignment Tire alignment is another way to reduce

wear on tires and help avoid steering and “pulling” problems.

Bridgestone Tires defines tire alignment as an adjustment of the

vehicle’s suspension, or the system that connects a vehicle to

its wheels.

When tires are not properly aligned, driv-

ers may notice uneven tread wear. Misaligned tires also may cause the vehicle to pull to the left or right.

Drivers who notice their steering wheel is off-center or vibrating when they are driving may need to adjust their tires’ alignment.

Camber, or the inward or outward angle of the tire when viewed from the front of the vehicle, will be adjusted. In addition, “toe,” or the extent to which the tires turn inward or outward when viewed from above, will be adjusted. Caster angle also helps balance steering, stability and cornering. Caster is the angle of your steering axis when viewed from the side of your vehicle.

When tires are balanced correctly and aligned, vehicles will offer a smooth ride with little to no vibrations. Having tires serviced can maximize their performance and lifespan.

Protect your vehicle from snow, ice and damage from the cold Winter can be an unforgiving season. Freezing temperatures coupled with snow and ice can take its toll on people who live in climates where cold weather is a fact of winter life.

While winter can test people’s patience, it also can be harsh on cars and trucks. Understanding what compo-

nents of a vehicle can be compromised by dropping temperatures and snowy roads can help drivers take action to safeguard their automotive investments.

While the Canadian Automobile Association notes that winter can wreak havoc on just about every part of a vehicle, there are

some parts that seem to bear the brunt of Old Man Winter’s abuse.

Properly servicing and caring for a car or truck can help.

Drivers should take their vehicles for a tuneup and inspection before wintry weather arrives. A mechanic will examine the car battery and check antifreeze

levels and make sure that the thermostat, defroster, brakes, and even wiper blades are working effectively. Have the tires inspected for adequate tread, which can make navigating roads safer. If the treads are worn, replace the tires.

In addition to visiting their mechanics, drivers can perform

some inspections and fixes themselves.

• Check that all of the vehicle’s lights are operational so your car can be easily seen during inclement weather.

Exchange your existing windshield washer fluid with one that will not freeze in cold conditions. Check the nozzles on the windshield-washer system routinely and clear out any blockages of ice or debris. While addressing windshield washer fluid, also replace worn out windshield wiper blades with ones that can withstand snow and icy weather.

• A new coating of wax can serve as a shield against road salt, snow, sleet, and rain. Try a polymer wax to protect the paint. Whenever possible, rinse off salt and grime so it does not dry on the car and gradually wear away at the paint. Some drivers mistakenly believe that salt stops being a problem once it dries simply because moisture is the active ingredient for a corrosive reaction. But

Scrapers should only be used on windows and not on the body of the car. humidity in the air is enough to keep the salt eating away at the car’s paint, and that can contribute to rust. Be sure to rinse off the undercarriage of the vehicle as well.

• Have your tires’ alignment checked toward the end of winter or early spring. A season of traveling over pothole-ridden roads or hitting curbs buried under snow drifts can affect the alignment.

Get everything back on track. Similarly, inspect tires routinely, as weather changes can affect tire pressure and

strength.

• Use a soft snow brush or a foam brush to clear snow off of the car. Avoid hard plastic scrapers you might use on your windshield, as they can scratch painted surfaces.

• Try to park the vehicle in a garage or under a car port, each of which can protect cars and trucks from the often harsh elements of winter.

Vehicles can be affected by the cold weather. Keep them running efficiently to prevent damage this winter.

Wounded Warriors Fly Fishing participant Gerry Desaulniers (left) and Fraser Health Authority manager Allstone Huang drop their lines on Blue Lake Sunday during the Wounded Warriors Fly Fishing event — the first dedicated fly fishing event held in Canada to help military veterans in care during their healing process.

Wounded Warriors find solace in fishing Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Tina Aulenback can see a light at the end of the tunnel for her husband, Darren Aulenback.

That’s after Darren and 13 other military veterans in care from across B.C. continued along their individual healing processes during a Wounded Warriors Fly Fishing program in and around Williams Lake — the first of its kind in Canada.

“It’s relaxation,” Darren said of why he was drawn to the event.

A father of five children from Prince George who served in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Slovenia, Darren now suffers from physical and emotional wounds.

“It’s peaceful and good to have a few laughs.”

Tina, a nurse by trade, now assists her husband at home full time.

“It was really good for us to come here and really good for Darren to be here with the boys and just hang out,” Tina said.

“This is a place where

Darren can be with a bunch of men that have experienced a lot of what he’s gone through, or is going through, so even though you may not talk about your experiences or share it you can just be in a comfort zone. You can just be who you are and there’s no judging.”

During the three-day event, spearheaded by Williams Lake fly fishing expert Jack Simpson, participants arrived Friday to learn how to fly cast, before receiving three separate lectures from Kamloops’ Brian Chan, an internationally renowned fly fisherman.

Participants then travelled to various lakes in the Cariboo including Blue Lake, Forest Lake and Jackson Lake to put what they’d learned to good use, along with the assistance of volunteer guides from Fly BC and the Conservation Officer Service.

“It was good for Darren to go out fishing yesterday,” Tina said, pointing to the therapeutic aspects of fly fishing. “It’s really rewarding being his wife and seeing him out there enjoying himself

and not worrying about anything. You can put your brain on a break for a while.”

Simpson, a veteran himself, was inspired to take on the project after being asked by Wounded Warriors Canada last year. Already committed to Project Healing Waters — an association dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly fishing — he worked alongside the national director for fly fishing with Wounded Warriors, Gervais Jeffrey, of Quebec, to organize the event.

Simpson is a believer of the benefits of recreational fly fishing for those affected by post-combat issues such as post traumatic stress disorder.

“It’s the end of the weekend now, and I’m tickled pink,” Simpson said during a rainy lunch break Sunday.

“I’m tickled pink with the results on some of the participants.

“It was pretty eyeopening to spend some time with some of the veterans and hear their stories,” Chan said.

“For them it’s a healing process. They can talk to people about it, let people know they’re suffering and if we can give them something new to try, hopefully it helps.

Mentally it’s something good, and for me it’s neat to be involved in something like this.”

Tina, Darren and several other veterans acknowledged the phe-

nomenal job Simpson did hosting the event, and said she can see brighter days ahead, thanks to events like Wounded Warriors.

“Jack is amazing,” Tina said. “We went to one last year in Whistler and it wasn’t as personable as this one. This was a family getting together.”

“The soldiers did benefit out of it, and with the work done by Jack in getting everything together it’s really excellent.”

Darren, likewise, echoed his wife’s comments and said he would encourage other military veterans to try fly fishing.

“This is good,” he said. “If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be here.”

Another highlight of Simpson’s was having Horsefly’s Hana Eastmond on hand during Saturday’s banquet to perform a song she produced and recorded, Let ‘er Fly, for Wounded Warriors after she learned how fly fishing can play a major role in post-combat lives.

“People were stunned by her performance, and also the words are really applicable,” Jeffrey said.

Chan, meanwhile, who has written books on fly fishing, been featured on multiple fishing TV shows, and hosts his own fishing show, said it was his first involvement with Wounded Warriors.

Red Dog Slo-Pitch League champs crowned Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer

I’d Hit That lived up to their team name Sept. 12 when they claimed the Red Dog Slo-Pitch League Year End Tournament title.

I’d Hit That beat a game Rippers squad 17-5 in the tournament final of a fourteam, double elimination tournament to end the season.

In round one I’d Hit That downed the Hellraisers, while the Rippers sent Qwesqi to the loser’s side of the bracket.

The Rippers then took a win by default over I’d Hit That to advance to the final on the winning side, before Hellraisers eliminated Qwesqi from the ‘B’ side of the draw to move to the semifinal. Hellraisers then lost to I’d Hit That to setup the championship with the Rippers.

There, I’d Hit That jumped out to an early lead. The Rippers weren’t able to recover resulting in the 17-5 defeat.

RDSPL president Lisa Bowering said all in all it was a good year, and thanked Red Dog Beer and Wine Store owner Lindsey Gasparini for the use of the fields.

She added the league is open to more teams for next season. Interested individuals or teams can contact Bowering on Facebook.

Old boys give youthful effort April Gerwing Special to Tribune/Advisor “Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing.” - Oliver Wendell Homes.

Saturday is a rugby day! On Sept. 12, in 32C Okanagan sunshine, a few dozen good men gathered in Kelowna to play the game they love best.

The Priest Valley Vicars hosted our Cariboo Old Boys along with the Cobras from Calgary and the Edmonton Antediluvians.

The day could not have been better, despite Calgary having to borrow a few players to field their team.

In Old Boy’s Rugby, the rookies are 38 years old.

There is one pair of gold shorts on the pitch, telling his teammates and opponents that he is a septuagenarian and, as it happens, the eldest player this weekend.

Gold shorts do not get hit, nor do the octogenarians in purple shorts, none of whom were represented in this particular match.

The majority of the players are in their 40s, (white shorts), and 50s, (black shorts), but a few 60-somethings in red shorts are present as well; they can tackle each other, but no one else can.

Nobody has more fun than these guys.

They play hard, but they also know how much tougher it is to recover from their

weekend-warrior injuries, so they don’t go after the kill in quite the same way as they did a few years ago.

Regardless of the wisdom that accompanies age, the rugby being played is not watered down in any way.

The hits are hard, the passing is solid and there are still some serious speed merchants running the ball across the line.

They played 10-aside games in 10-minute halves; five games were played all day and our home team did very well.

They won 6-4 over the Vicars.

Travis Whiting, now of Kelowna, was our man of the match.

Grady Sjokvist, now of Kamloops, was our man of the match against a combined Alberta effort, resulting in a 7-3 win for the Old Boys.

In the 15-a-side final battle, pitting BC against Alberta, the score was 6 to 3, in favour of B.C. and Derek Funk was our man of the match.

The penultimate challenge, and the truest test of their mettle came in the post-game boat race.

The Cariboo Old Boys with one extra man serving to handicap, took on Alberta, and beat them seemingly effortlessly.

Dean Fulton served double duty and so was named man of the boat race.

All in all, it was a glorious day.

Old friends, including the Cariboo Old Boys, show camaraderie during a Kelowna rugby tournament earlier this month.

Tournament fosters camaraderie Continued From Page B4 Old friends caught up with each other, new friendships were forged; aches, pains and bruises were quickly forgotten with the salve of barbecue, beer, laughter and song.

With the Rugby World Cup currently being fought for, and our home-town pride, Jake Ilnicki, representing our country, rugby lovers are a frenzied lot these days.

Kayla Moleschi is training to represent Canada at the Olympics in Women’s 7s.

This sport is growing

by leaps and bounds; 150 years or so ago, William Webb Ellis did not see women playing rugby, nevermind as an Olympic event, and I doubt that he envisioned the game be-

ing adapted to keep players playing into their 70s and 80s, he not having achieved gold-shorts status in his lifetime.

The greatest thing about rugby is the amazing circle of

people who surround it.

This is an inclusive group who live, not only to play the game, but to be a part of the energy and camaraderie that it creates.

If you’re thinking about dusting off your boots and lacing them up, visit Facebook and ask to join the Cariboo Old Boys group, you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

Years later, when the business came up for sale, Chantelle and her husband, Justin, decided to purchase it.

The transition from former employee to owner was a relatively smooth one, since Chantelle already knew so much about the business and the facility.

One of the first things the couple did when they took over in 2014 was to make some changes and upgrade some of the equipment in order to enhance their members’ experience and provide broader workout options.

in turn, allows them to bring in the kinds of products and equipment that locals want and to tailor programs to people’s needs.
