Strategic voter Mary Forbes enters the polling station at Chilcotin Road Elementary School in Williams Lake Monday. While the Liberals won the majority across the country, in the Cariboo-Prince George riding the Conservatives were re-elected, the Liberals came second and the NDP third.

Liberal sweep stops short in B.C.’s Interior Monica Lamb-Yorski and Angie Mindus Staff Writers Justin Trudeau is Canada’s new prime minister after the Liberals emerged with an unexpected 184-seat majority in Monday’s federal election.

a country that is positive, ambitious and hopeful.

“My friends, we beat fear with hope, we beat cynicism with hard work,” Trudeau said.

“We beat negative, divisive politics with a positive vision that brings Canadians together.”

Nationally the Conservatives won 99 seats. It was later announced that Stephen Harper would be stepping down as the party’s leader.

The NDP took 44 seats, down from 95, while the Bloc Québé-

cois garnered 10 and the Green Party, one.

The federal election results were all the talk at local coffee shops around Williams Lake Tuesday morning.

“I feel great because I hated Harper,” said Elmer Jensen, when asked how he felt about the election results.

Jensen said he didn’t like Harper’s controlling manner, his divisiveness of the country, legislation surrounding privacy, economic reforms and his for-

“I don’t think we should be in Syria and all those places,” Jensen said.

Miles St Amand said watching the Liberals rule with a majority government will be interesting.

“I kind of wish Trudeau would have got a minority government to get his feet wet first, but we’ll see how it goes.”

NEWS

B.C.’s tough drunk driving penalties upheld Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer More than a dozen immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) cases in Williams Lake have been cancelled

by RoadSafetyBC after an accuracy check revealed four B.C. RCMP detachments had used a non-certified dry gas cylinder in their of approved screening devices (ASD).

The impacted devices resulted in the

cancellation of 39 IRP cases in Tofino, 13 in Vernon, 15 in Williams Lake and five in Agassiz, Superintendent Derek Cooke, Officer in Charge of the BC RCMP Traffic Services, said in a statement issued Oct. 16.

All of the affected devices were immediately removed from service and tested using the approved process.

Use of the non-certified gas cylinder was not in compliance with training standards es-

tablished in December of 2014, requiring the use of a certified dry gas cylinder.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada CEO Andrew Murie said Tuesday he was disappointed, but noted every once in a while it happens across the country when the police have made a mistake in the calibration of the instruments they use.

“One of the requirements in court, whether it’s an IRP or

a criminal code charge, are disclosure rules around proving the instrumentation was properly calibrated,” Murie said. “In this incident the police are saying, ‘hey, we made a mistake, we screwed up,’ and they cancelled all those IRPs they had issued.”

In light of the findings of this quality assurance check, immediate steps were taken to ensure the validity of all 2043 ASDs utilized by the BC RCMP

throughout the province, Cooke said.

“While the number of affected IRPs is minimal in relation to the almost 19,000 issued last year in B.C., I must ensure that we maintain the public’s trust and confidence in the work we do on their behalf to remove impaired drivers from our roadways. To that end, I have personally ensured that we’re taking every necessary step to avoid this error in the future.”

In other impaired driving news Canada’s top court has upheld B.C.’s tough system of roadside penalties for impaired drivers, including vehicle impoundments, stiff fines and immediate 90-day licence suspensions.

The Supreme Court of Canada handed down twin judgments Friday that back key elements of the provincial government’s policy after it was challenged by motorists.

Justices said there

was “no doubt” automatic roadside prohibitions are within the province’s jurisdiction and a valid regulatory measure.

They rejected the argument of opponents that the penalties effectively create an offence that requires a right to a fair trial, not an instant decision by police after a failed bloodalcohol reading on a portable device.

Election results dominate morning coffee talk Continued From Page A1 While the Liberals swept most of the country, Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C.’s Interior stayed Conservative, with Conservative Todd Doherty winning with 19,148 votes, according to preliminary results.

Doherty, who is originally from Williams Lake, began pursuing the post once outgoing Conservative MP Dick Harris announced he would be retiring and by Christmas 2014 had garnered the nomination.

Doherty did not respond to requests for an interview by press time, but on his Facebook page at noon Tuesday posted while he had so much he’d like to say only two words were necessary.

“On behalf of Kelly, Jordan, Joshua, Kassi, Kaitlyn and I ... thank you.”

Liberal candidate Tracy Calogheros

Todd Doherty emerged in second place garnering 1,822 votes.

On Tuesday morning she said she hated losing but couldn’t be upset because of the Liberal sweep.

The NDP’s third place resulted in 13, 806 votes, and candidate Trent Derrick said he was proud of his party’s gains in the riding, and happy Canada has a new government.

Green Party candidate Richard Jaques received 1,845 votes, Independent Sheldon Clare got 656, Apolitical candidate Gordon Campbell re-

In the Kamloops Thompson Cariboo riding, Conservative Cathy McLeod got a

third mandate while in the Prince GeorgePeace River-Northern Rockies riding Conservative incumbent Bob Zimmer also kept his seat.

Last week students

in School District 27 participated in a student vote at many schools.

The student vote in the Cariboo-Prince George riding put the Liberals first with

1,223 votes, NDP second with 737, Conservatives third with 735, Green Party fourth with 441, Independent fifth with 139, Christian Heritage Party sixth with 133

and Apolitical seventh with 70 votes.

Preliminary results show 67.99 per cent of eligible voters in our riding participated in the election, up from 54.3 per cent in 2011.

Valley Road in Agassiz.

When challenged by the homeowner, the male rode away on a bicycle, the police said.

Immediately police responded to the address where the victim and witnesses provided a de-

scription of the suspect to the general duty investigator.

Fediuk was quickly located and arrested by a patrolling officer.

Investigators supported by the Integrated Forensic Investigation Section

continue to examine evidence gathered from the scene, while Victim Services is engaged with the victim, the RCMP said.

Fediuk has been released from custody pending a court appearance in late October.

Supreme Court OKs roadside prohibitions Continued From Page A3 The court found the province’s “pressing and substantial” goal of enacting the scheme “was not to oust the criminal law, but rather to prevent death and serious injury on public roads by removing drunk drivers and deterring impaired driving.”

Roadside penalties have largely supplanted criminal investigations and prosecutions for impaired driving in B.C. The amount of time and money expended on drunk driving cases in

the courts and by police is down because of the nearly 70 per cent drop in impaired charges.

Police still pursue criminal charges in cases of injury or death due to drunk driving.

Defence lawyers have criticized the immediate roadside prohibitions as a de facto decriminalization of most cases of impaired driving.

Although drivers who are caught and punished at roadside face stiff sanctions, they do not usually risk an impaired driving conviction and criminal record.

Also before the courts was the constitu-

tionality of the compulsory demand to provide a breath sample or face roadside penalties.

A majority of Supreme Court justices said the original 2010 provision did violate the Charter of Rights protection against unlawful search and seizure.

The province amended its law in 2012 to allow drivers who fail a roadside breath test to take a second test — the lowest of the two readings is used — and created a process for them to appeal driving prohibitions.

“Our belief is that the amendments our gov-

ernment made in June 2012 already address the constitutional issues noted in the court’s decision,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said.

It’s not yet clear if drivers penalized in the first two years of the program could be compensated.

Anton welcomed the ruling, adding immediate roadside prohibitions have been “very effective” and have saved an estimated 260 lives over the past five years.

“People are learning from them, they’re not drinking and driving as

much,” Anton said.

“As soon as you blow that warn or that fail you will be penalized.

And that is what deters people from drinking and driving. That’s what keeps our roads safe.”

Defence lawyers intend to continue to challenge elements of the B.C. law that were not addressed by the top court.

About 18,000 roadside prohibitions are issued each year and about two per cent are successfully challenged through the review process.

Money in place for hospital improvement plan LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor A proactive plan put in place by the Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District is paying off, according to district chair John Massier.

“The hospital project at Cariboo Memorial could cost more than $100 million dollars, with 60 per cent of the cost paid by the Province and 40 per cent

by Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District taxpayers,” he stated.

“The board decided 10 years ago that it was better to have an annual hospital tax in place for people, rather than having to pay borrowing fees. It would be less of a burden for people.”

He explained that because of this plan they have no more longterm debt ­ — it was paid off in 2014. “Now

Now we have a capital reserve of approximately $30 million in place for the hospital improvement plan.”

- Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District chair John Massier we have a capital reserve of approximately $30 million in place for the hospital improvement plan,” he added.

A tax structure is also in place for future projects.

“Property owners are charged $70 per every $100 thousand dollars that their property is worth. As a tax payer, I like this plan — having every tax dollar go toward the actual refurbishing and improvements that we all need,” he said.

“This means hundreds of thousands of dollars

are saved in interest charges.”

The Cariboo Chilcotin Regional District Hospital District is the same as the CRD board, with the addition of one director from the Thompson Nicola Regional District.

“The role of hospital boards is to fund health-related capital infrastructure in their regions; money for local improvements come from Health Authorities and from local tax payers,” Massier

continued, adding the Cariboo Regional District is split between Northern Health and Interior Health Authorities.

He said that the Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District board is lobbying to move to the final planning stage in the proposed improvements to Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

“It’s not a quick process. They have to weigh CMH with all other infrastructure needed in other hospitals throughout the

province. We’ve really pushed the envelope on this; when the health authorities said they didn’t have it in their budget, we offered to pay for the master plan.

We paid the $200,000 to move it along,” he noted.

“It was so great to see health minister Terry Lake come up here; he was engaging and showed good understanding of all the sites he visited in 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Quesnel. He got to see the incredible staff who keep those facilities running with buildings and equipment ranging from modern to 50 or 60 years old,” Massier said.

“It gave him a good idea of some of the challenges we face.”

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus

Hello Trudeau, HIGHWAY 20 IMPROVED goodbye Harper

Make sure your vehicle is ready for winter

T

hank heavens the election is over.

How do our neighbours to the south manage to keep sane with over a year of presidential electioneering bumpf thrown at them?

The election didn’t turn out the way many expected or hoped but those who wanted to see Stephen Harper gone will be relieved. Congratulations to Justin Trudeau and the Liberals. It was comforting to hear him say he will be a government for “all Canadians.” The path before him is a bumpy one but we wish him well.

Many pundits believe the long campaign helped the Liberals. I’m convinced the negative TV advertisements dreamed up by French the Harper gang Connection backfired and Diana French helped do the trick. Let’s hope this election saw the last of them.

The huge amounts of money the Harperites spent on advertising no doubt triggered endorsements from the Postmedia dailies, but it didn’t convince enough voters. Mind you, some of those endorsements were strange. The Globe and Mail said the Conservatives deserved another chance but Stephen Harper didn’t. (Will the Conservatives get that message?) A Vancouver Sun editorial supported the Conservatives too but allowed columnist Pete McMartin to lambaste Mr. H., unlike the National Post which supported the Cons but killed a column by Andrew Coyne who disagreed. Mr. Coyne thereupon resigned as the paper’s editor of editorials but he’ll continue writing his column.The Vancouver Sun and Province each had a doozy of a Conservative ad last weekend, it was wrapped around their front pages. It was anti-Liberal and must have cost a fortune but it obviously didn’t have the desired impact. Former newspaper baron Conrad Black backed the Liberals.

It will be interesting to see how the media deals with the Liberal government.

Young Mr. Trudeau has many promises to keep. It will take time to deal with all of them. I hope he has a priority list.

Election over, now we can focus on the Toronto Blue Jays. Can they keep winning?

Our Viewpoint

‘Positivity’ sweeps nation Likely not even the Liberals saw the extent of Monday night’s federal election victory coming.

But with the advantage of hindsight, it’s easy now to look back and see just how much momentum Justin Trudeau gained in the final days of his campaign to capture a majority government.

At the end of the day, Canadians wanted a change. Even Stephen Harper admitted that in his concession speech.

Now it will be interesting to see how the new Liberal government is going to make good on many of Trudeau’s campaign promises.

al campaign include legalizing recreational marijuana sales and running three years of deficits to build infrastructure across the country.

Trudeau has also promised to scrap the Conservative government’s approval for the Northern Gateway pipeline and enforce a ban on oil tanker traffic on B.C.’s north coast.

Judging by Trudeau’s acceptance speech where he attributed his win to a positive approach to governing, there will be nothin’ but blue skies ahead for Canada in the years to come.

ld man winter is on the way. Is your vehicle ready?

Winter tire rules are now in effect in the Cariboo and Chilcotin. Since Oct. 1, motorists must equip their vehicles with winter tires if they’re travelling in certain areas of the province, including the North and the Interior.

I want everyone to be well prepared as they set out for driving this fall and winter. This means getting your vehicle winter ready, and remembering to always drive to the road conditions.

Winter tires have been deMLA fined as those labelled with either Musings the Mountain Donna Barnett Snowflake symbol or the Mud and Snow (M+S) symbol. Winter tires must be in good condition with a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm.

Drivers who do not have the proper winter tires on their vehicle on the designated routes can receive a fine of $121.

Drivers who do not have the minimum tread depth on their tires (3.5 mm) on the designated routes can receive a fine of $109.

Winter tires improve safety by providing better traction in snow, slush and icy conditions — which can happen at any time around Williams Lake at this time of year. Drivers are also reminded to check tire air pressure frequently, because it decreases in cold weather.

Commercial vehicles that are 27,000 kg gross volume weight (GVW) and greater, such as tractor trailers, are required to carry chains on the designated routes.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure recommends that commercial vehicle drivers carry chains at all times.

Winter in the Cariboo-Chilcotin is magical, but it can also be dangerous on the roads.

Having proper tires, planning ahead and driving according to road conditions will help keep you safe when driving in tough winter conditions. Please drive carefully.

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

MORE VIEWPOINTS First past the post voting Question of the week system needs to change Editor: At long last, the election is over.

Congratulations to Justin Trudeau and the Liberals and thank you to all the candidates and volunteers for their efforts.

We’ll see what type of change this will actually bring.

But one thing that hasn’t changed is our antiquated First Past the Post voting system.

The Liberals won 54 per cent of the seats with 39.5 per cent of the vote. Mr. Harper’s government majority government had 39.6 per cent of the vote. In other words, 60 per cent of us didn’t vote for “our” gov-

ernment.

It really is time for change to some form of proportional representation to more accurately reflect the wishes of the citizens of this country.

Canadian ‘values’ don’t apply to fishing regulations Editor: I confess to being a lowly, “nonresident alien” angler who comes to B.C. to fish for steelhead, spending thousands of dollars there annually. If I were a Syrian refugee, I’d be welcomed and steered toward equality, at considerable expense to Canadian taxpayers, but as an alien from Montana, I’m scorned and treated like an invasive species.

In many hours of listening to CBC and reading local papers, I’ve often noted how proud Canadians are of their core values such as fairness, equality and non-discrimination. When it comes to fishing regulations, however, those values seem hilarious and hypocritical.

Here in Montana, we welcome all anglers to enjoy our world-famous trout fishing. BC resident anglers pay only USD$70 per year, and can fish on our “classified” rivers (called “blue ribbon rivers”)

365 days per year with no extra fees or restrictions.

But when I, a despised “non-resident alien,” come to BC for steelhead, it costs me CAD$540 for 20 days on Class II rivers ($400 more for Class I rivers), and I can only fish weekdays.

As a B.C. resident 65 or older, I’d pay CAD$45 annually to fish steelhead on classified rivers 365 days per year.

Even considering the lopsided exchange rate, does that sound fair and equitable?

But the money isn’t the biggest problem. I’m okay paying a reasonable premium over resident fees.

Like most steelheaders, I fish all day and move from river to river based on conditions. Yet, I have to buy daily, river-specific, classified permits in advance and have a printed, signed copy with me. Try to get buy and print a classified license at 9 p.m. in Small Town,

B.C. It’s almost impossible. This requirement is unreasonably cumbersome and inconsiderate.

And how unfair and discriminatory is it for me to drive 1,800 kilometers (one way) from Montana and be forced to sit around on weekends and watch the locals fish?

This can be easily fixed with these modifications: allow “nonresident aliens” the option of buying an annual classified river license for a reasonable cost (i.e.

CAD$100) that applies to all classified rivers, stop requiring signed paper copies of the daily, river-specific classified license, and allow all anglers to fish on weekends.

I sure hope somebody who has the power to correct these unfair and discriminatory fishing regs is reading this and does something about it.

NEWS Innovative partnership begins at Skyline Offsite Alternate School The world of education is changing and students at Skyline Offsite Alternate School in Williams Lake will benefit from innovative concepts being put into practice by teachers and administrators.

ership experiences.

The project at Skyline Offsite Alternate School is one of the first 17 projects that will receive support under K-12 Innovation Partnership projects.

“We are aiming to keep more students connected to school,” School District 27 superintendent and CEO Mark Thiessen said. “Skyline Alternate School is doing this by developing a program that will holistically weave First Nations culture and traditions into existing provincially recognized courses to nurture a sense of belonging in at-risk stu-

dents. The program will guide students through culturally relevant project-based learning, encourage First Nations elder and community involvement, and make cultural activities a significant and an integrated part of the daily curriculum.”

The K-12 Innovation Partnership gives public and independent schools the opportunity — and support — to explore new programs and practices to help students and teachers succeed. The selected projects complement the new K-12 curriculum being phased in over the next three years and focus on:

• enhanced hands-on, projectbased learning • supports for vulnerable and/or at-risk students • Aboriginal learning • science and technology • reporting and assessment practices.

The 17 projects from throughout the province were selected by the Innovation Partnership Working Group (IPWG), a collaboration of education partners including the BC Teachers’ Federation, BC Schools Superintendents Association, BC Principals’ and Vice-Principals’ As-

sociation, the Federation of Independent School Associations of BC and the Ministry of Education.

Each project will receive $8,000 in financial support for teacher release time, research, and project expenses, plus there will be opportunities for project teams to collaborate with colleagues and explore how these innovative concepts could be adopted by other school districts.

A second intake for the Innovation Partnership will be announced later this fall, and schools are encouraged to continue to submit proposals for consideration.

Community Futures celebrates 30 years of supporting business Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Joining offices across the country, Community Futures Cariboo Chilcotin is celebrating 30 years of helping sustain small and grassroots businesses.

“A study done in 2014 about Community Futures showed we are still really valid,” said Karen Eden, general manager.

The office in Williams Lake will hold an open house Thursday, Oct. 22 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., showcasing past client successes, many of whom are on the board now.

A lot of people go through the program and are happy to give back, Eden said.

Several Community Futures were launched across Canada in 1985 and initially there were 24 in B.C.

Today there are 34 in B.C. and 90 in Western Canada.

Each organization is an independent not-forprofit and the Cariboo Chilcotin office covers 70 Mile to McLeese Lake and Bella Coola to Horsefly and Likely.

All CFs are board driven.

Presently realtor Glen Holling is the board’s chair, joined by directors representing geographic areas and sectors.

There is also a loan committee that reviews loan applications and a self-employment committee reviewing business plans.

Core funding for CFs come from Western Economic Diversification Canada, and from there each office delivers programs for other organizations.

One of those is the self-employment pro-

She has seen six-yearolds come in with a 4-H loan application, signed by a parent of course.

“It takes the pressure off for families and gives a child the experience of getting a loan and repaying it,” Eden said.

Being familiar with numbers, time, distance and shapes will help your child develop the math skills they will need at school. Remember that, like all learning, numbers should be fun and connected to real life.

Many children learn better by counting the stones on the beach or apples in a grocery bag than by looking at flash cards.

Typically, three-year-olds will be able to count to ten.

Most preschoolers will be able to sort objects into groups and to name different shapes (such as triangle and square).

At age three children are generally beginning to understand time, measurement like weight and height, and distances like near and far.

Williams Lake REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN EXTEND YOUR LIFE! Regular physical activity has the same impact on increasing life expectancy as non-smoking by adding as much as two years.

The estimated annual health care cost in Canada directly attributable to physical inactivity are $5.3 billion.

Regular activity is recognized as a key factor of Type 2 Diabetes and Colon Cancer by 50%, and plays an important role in reducing the risk of other chronic diseases.

Regular activity helps maintain healthy bones, muscles and joints, and reduces the risk of osteoporosis.

Older adults who are active enjoy a longer independent lifestyle and are less susceptible to falls.

Physical activity and good nutrition are both vital in achieving and maintaining healthy weights.

Even moderate regular activity reduces stress and promotes psychological wellbeing.

Regular physical activity increases the individual’s energy levels and affects their ability to fully participate in work, play, social and family life.

Your Preschooler and… Numbers

250.398.7665 525 Proctor Street, Williams Lake, BC

Try some of these with your preschooler: 1. Count as a part of everyday routines with your child: “Please get me six spoons for lunch.” “How many letters are in the mailbox?”

2. Discuss the order of events to help your child understand time: “This morning at 10:00 we are going to the store. After lunch, you will have time to play.”

3. Make a calendar with your child. Write in special days (his or her birthday, the trip to the library) and have your child mark off each day until it arrives.

4. Help your child learn your family’s phone number and address.

5. Collect objects (buttons, stones, blocks) and sort them by shape, colour or size.

6. Talk about shapes. Identify shapes in the world around you and talk about them with your child: “That window is square.” “That cookie is round.”

7. Start a growth chart for your child. Talk about the ideas of weight and height.

8. Ask your child to guess how many cups of water it will take to fill a pitcher or bowl then fill the pitcher and check the guesses.

9. Use words that give direction when asking your child to do something: “Look under the box.” “Put it beside your bed.”

10. Make a counting book. Glue groups of small objects (like buttons or feathers) on pieces of paper and then bind the pages together to make a “book”.

When browsing through the book together, help your child count the different groups of objects.

Sacred Heart hosts Moroccan dinner The Sacred Heart Catholic School gymnasium will be transformed into a scene from exotic Marrakech for its annual ethnic dinner Saturday, Oct. 24.

Magical Moroccan is the theme for the

popular evening, which will boast a Moroccaninspired menu and silent auction to follow.

“It’s going to be an entertaining evening,” said school principal Nick Iachetta.

All proceeds raised from the event will go

towards a community concrete ball hockey and basketball court located on the school grounds as well as a new piece of playground equipment.

Tickets are $50 and available at the school and at United Floors.

After the elation of having Clouds of Autumn selected for showing this fall at the Toronto and Vancouver international film festivals, director Trevor Mack is thrilled that the film has won an award at the imagineNATIVE film festival.

“Aye!,” exclaimed Mack in an e-mail to the Tribune/Advisor today. “Just wanted to say my film won Best Canadian Short Drama at imagineNATIVE.” Clouds of Autumn, which he co-wrote and directed with Matthew Taylor Blais of Kelowna, follows William and his older sister Shayl through three summers in the 1970s, exploring the impact Canadian residential schools had on the relationships First Nations children had with themselves, their heritage, and nature itself.

The short film was shot over four, 15hour shooting days at Tl’etinqox (Anaham) reserve in August 2014 and stars non-actors from the area including Elias Stump, Trinity Stump, and Edmond Lulua.

The imagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival took place Oct. 14-18 in Toronto.

Mack was thrilled earlier this summer when Clouds of Autumn was selected to show at the Toronto International Film Festival Sept. 10 to 20 and at the Vancouver International Film Festival Sept. 24 to Oct.

More than 500 short films were submitted to the Toronto International Film Festival and only 30 to 40 of them were chosen for screening, said Mack who was there for the event with Blais.

Mack said the screenings in Toronto went extremely well but it was hard to concentrate on the screenings when they were so busy trying to see A-list celebrities and recovering

from the nightly events which took place almost every single night for 10 days.

“I was able to start talking with several producers on a feature film that I want to start developing, so the trip was definitely worthwhile,” Mack said.

Mack received congratulations from his home community of Tl’etinqox (Anaham) Community in the Chilcotin, and from Chief Joe Alphonse, Tribal Chairman of the Tsilhqot’in National Government and Chief of Tl’etinqox.

“Not only is Trevor Mack a member of my community, he also chose to feature our people, community and history within his films,” Alphonse said.

“Mack’s ability to navigate the film making world while still holding his culture and traditions close is a great accomplishment.

Here at TNG, we wish Mack all the success in the coming years.”

Mack debuted his first short The Blanketing, in 2013 which was screened across North America and in New Zealand.

Tenants will be able to end a lease early if they are fleeing family violence or require long-term care, under changes to the Residential Tenancy Act being debated in the B.C. legislature.

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman, responsible for housing, said the changes have been sought by opposition and government MLAs in response to constituents. Another change will allow landlords to return damage deposits electronically.

The Strata Property Act is being changed to allow condo owners to wind up their strata corporation and sell the property with a vote of 80 per cent of owners. The law currently requires unanimous consent of owners, allowing one holdout to veto a sale.

The changes are expected to be made law when the B.C. legislature fall session ends Nov. 19.

Carbon capture regulations set The B.C. government is preparing a regulatory system for carbon

dioxide capture and storage facilities, allowing the greenhouse gas to be extracted from raw natural gas and pumped back underground.

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman says amendments before the B.C. legislature allow capture and storage as “a permanent solution for disposing of carbon dioxide” in underground rock formations.

The amendments also give the BC Oil and Gas Commission authority to determine location and feasibility of well sites, pipeline routes and other oil and gas activities.

Spectra Energy and the federal government each put up more than $11 million for a carbon pilot project at Spectra’s Fort Nelson gas processing plant, with the province adding $3.4 million. The feasibility study took CO2 from raw gas, which runs between 10 and 14 per cent, and injected it into deep saline aquifers.

The province is updating its climate change strategy, with an advisory panel and public discussion paper expected to produce a draft policy by December.

CELEBRATING SMALL BUSINESS OCTOBER 18-24, 2015

Join us in celebrating....

Small Business

Small Business Week October 18th - 24th

Small businesses the driving force of rural communities Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Recent figures show 98 per cent of all businesses in B.C. are small businesses, having fewer than 50 employees and employing more than one million people.

In 2014, Stats Canada calculated there were 382,600 small businesses in B.C. That number represents 98 per cent of all businesses in the province.

Breaking it down further, the Cariboo region had 11,700 small businesses in the same year.

In Canada, small businesses contribute 30 per cent to the GDP. It is no secret that rural communities are made vibrant

by small businesses, said Karen Eden, of Community Futures of the Cariboo Chilcotin who has been with the organization for 19 years and general manager since 2007.

“Small businesses pay taxes that help fund hospitals, roads and infrastructure,” Eden said, noting larger industries rely on small businesses to provide all the amenities they need.

It’s a very symbiotic relationship, she added, because small businesses need larger businesses and larger industries need small business to support their infrastructure.

During the next five years, 30 per cent of small businesses will disappear if no one takes them over, leaving a huge hole, Eden said.

In the Cariboo Chilcotin region, there are businesses for sale that provide a variety of opportunities for young people to move back to rural communities and enjoy the quality of life those places have to offer.

When entrepreneurial youth purchase existing businesses, instead of starting out on their own, they also get built-in mentors to help with the transition, Eden said.

The other side of the coin is as business owners eye retirement, they are making succession planning an important focus and that helps if someone steps forward to take their business over.

Community Futures of the Cariboo Chilcotin and Northern Regions partner with Venture Connect to list businesses for sale in a quarterly, titled Buy BC Business.

T

Cariboo Realty Sutton Cariboo Realty was established August 2012 with Court Smith and business partner and wife, Pauline-Colgate Smith.

They have a strong team of three other realtors, Geordie and Cindy Moore, Dana Hinsche, and an office manager, Dana Favel. Together they make an energetic, friendly, competitive group ready to take on new challenges to real estate trends and changes.

Court Smith and Dana Hinsche specialize in ranch and rural property sales and listings as well as residential properties.

Geordie and Cindy specialize in residential and recreational properties, and Pauline specializes in horse property and residential sales. Dana Favel is the newest member of our team as office manager. She has been with us for almost two years and is seen as the “glue” that keeps us all together!

Each person in our office brings their own unique touch to taking care of every client’s needs.

Although a small group of realtors, Sutton Cariboo Realty has been Williams Lake’s top producing office in number of real estate sales, for the last two years!

Sutton Cariboo Realty believes strongly that Williams Lake is a great place to live and relocate. Our housing market is still reasonable in price range compared to the Lower Mainland or the Okanagan. Typically winters are fairly mild and we are only a few hours north or south to larger shopping centres. We have outstanding recreational opportunities and beautiful scenery! Mortgage rates are still very low, so five per cent down for most buyers gets you into a new home with payments generally lower than rental rates.

he launch of a new name is a good reason to celebrate the success that Williams Lake has brought their retail business, say Carl Johnson and Katalin Szauer, the owners of Kit and Kaboodle, formerly known as Dollar Dollar.

“We are really grateful to Williams Lake for supporting us the way they do,” the two say. Their business is the same it has always been, but with more, Carl adds, explaining that “more” means a bigger and better paper crafting, toy and game, remote control and party selection. The store has shifted toward quality brandname products, while continuing to offer value-priced alternatives and special orders in all departments.

After mulling over the idea of renaming the store, they held a contest last spring. Over 300 people made all sorts of “wacky and wonderful” suggestions, Carl says. Then one day he had an inspiration while banking at TD, when the teller told him Dollar Dollar had everything, including the kitchen sink. “I said we have the whole kit and kaboodle, and the name stuck.” Someone had actually suggested Kid and Kaboodle during the contest, so in the end, he won the naming prize.

Along with the new name comes the tag line, “Create, Play, Celebrate.” That’s because Kit and Kaboodle encourages everyone to explore their creativity through crafts and hobbies, play with great toys and games for all ages, and celebrate all of life’s special occasions. “We want everyone to have fun, in the store and especially in their lives.”

Your Station House Gallery is a non-profit Society that has been running out of the old train station for 34 years.

The Gallery’s Shop features over 100 local and regional artists whose works reflect the standards the Gallery is known for.

Functional and Decorative works are sold in the Shop – weaving, pottery, jewellery, woodwork, painting, books, etc.

Located in the old train station, the Station House Gallery has two exhibition spaces and has a monthly showing of artists in all medias.

It’s an experience to shop there – it’s not your ordinary gift shop. The Train Station was built in 1920 and continued to operate as a ticket outlet for the passenger train until 2002. To preserve and maintain the building, the Station House Studio & Gallery Society formed in 1981 and is overseen by a Board of Directors. Diane Toop, Executive Director, has been with the Station House Gallery for the past 20 years and has seen it through many stages.

Memberships are always available for $25 single or $30 family for a year. The Christmas Market runs through the month of December and features items from $5 up, so it is affordable for all.

Being accredited by ICBC for repairs makes Bare’s Paint & Bodyworks a busy one-stop shop.

Once customers generate a claim, they can go directly to Bare’s repair shop at 955 Mackenzie Ave. South, eliminating the need to visit a claim centre.

When damaged vehicles are brought into Bare’s, staff take photographs, do an estimate on site and submit the paperwork to ICBC. Twelve years ago Barry and Carol Hanson opened the shop after they moved to Williams Lake from Vancouver where Barry had been doing bodywork there.

Aside from being a certified painter and bodyman, Barry is a certified motor vehicle inspector and mechanic which means the shop does not have to sublet any aspects of restoring a vehicle.

The shop also does work on vehicles not pertaining to accidents.

Today the Bare’s team consists of six people, including two technicians who have been on staff for 12 years and have done their apprenticeships under Barry.

“He’s very conscientious,” Carol says of her husband’s work ethic.

The shop offers valet services, making courtesy cars available or giving people rides to and from their homes.

For anyone who is wondering, Bare was Barry’s nickname while he was growing up in Williams Lake.

COMPASSIONATE CARE FUNERALS Ever since they purchased Bob’s Shoes last year, Jackie Austin and Julie Vincent have enjoyed mixing the old with the new. The two friends relish the fact that the business was established in 1954 by Bob Jackson and has a long history providing quality footwear and clothing. Staying true to the store’s roots, Austin and Vincent are continuing to carry reliable brands such as Redwing work boots and Carhartt clothing for men, women and children, along with Bogs, Birkenstock and Blundstone to name a few.

In the spirit of trying new things, they have introduced highend Zamberlan hiking boots and elite hunting gear made

by Sitka. They want there to be something for everyone.

They have everyday Kavu casual wear and several styles of ladies Timberland boots.

Vincent has had fun pouring her creativity into the store, using things like repurposed wood from her family’s ranch to redecorate. Signs made with letters burned into wooden boards advertise different brands in the store and wood cuts display boots and shoes.

“We believe in the future of Williams Lake and would like to see the downtown grow,” Vincent says, noting they have opened their minds to listen and learn what people want. “We’ve heard from friends, family and people in the community.”

This summer they decided to stop offering shoe repair but continue to apply “Tuff Toe” to boots and are doing lots of stretching for boot and shoes.

Stop by and see the changes the two have done and see there really is something for everyone.

BLOOMING ON CANVAS

PAINTING PARTIES Whether you’ve never picked up a paintbrush in your life but always wanted to try it, or painted years ago and want to try it again, Blooming on Canvas has something for everyone.

Blooming on Canvas, a template of social painting parties, is now thriving in Williams Lake, as Michelle Doherty and Adele Hamilton book from 25-60 guests per party at a local bar or restaurant.

“Participants can try their hand at painting with the guidance of an art facilitator,” Doherty says. “It’s a fun, unique get-together for friends and family for any occasion – to let your inner child come out and paint.”

Feedback from Blooming on Canvas guests, as well as the local bars and restaurants where they meet, has been enthusiastic, and they have many repeat customers. To date they book painting parties at Signal Point, The Laughing Loon and Oliver Street Bar & Grill and have held corporate and private parties.

They are looking for more artists, but Doherty notes they are not there to teach a class, they’re there to facilitate a fun, two-hour painting experience.

“People don’t feel intimidated by this because it’s so easy and so fun, “Hamilton says. “You see smiles all around the room. It’s very inspiring and affirming.”

All Dolled Up Beauty Boutique is a new business owned by Laura Lachapelle and Jackie Richards.

They have been in business for four months and four people work there; before that, Laura owned Eloquence Spa for 10 years and Jackie was the manager.

They provide hair services of all types, esthetics – manicures and pedicures, lash extensions, threading, waxing, massage, facials, perming and tinting lashes, tinting brows, etc.

Laura has been doing hair for 22 years and has successfully owned two other hair businesses before this. The two paired up to open a more intimate, fullservice salon. With All Dolled Up Laura is able to get back to her first love – doing hair! Jackie has been doing hair and esthetics for three years. She loves the creativity but also the medical aspect of the beauty industry. She has just received her Master Pedicurist Certification. “Feet are the only tools we use every day so you need to look after them,” she says.

Their business philosophy is “Follow your dreams – life’s too short to be bored.”

Participants don’t have to be artists to enjoy Blooming on Canvas.

“We’re looking for people who say they ‘can’t paint,’” Doherty says. “If you think of yourself as an artist, that’s great, and if you think you’re not, that’s even better.” Join us and experience a great night of fun!

“We also do custom signs and decals, bumper stickers and banners; we do sandwich boards, vehicle signs, backlit signs, dibond signs and coroplast,” Chris says. “And we do promotional items, such as travel mugs, pens, key chains and mugs – anything that you want to promote.”

The couple takes pride in working with clients to create the perfect gift for any occasion.

They will create a single item for an individual, or enough for a large group. They can customize a single hoodie or shirts for a big sports team; decorate one personalized coffee mug, or a set of glass beer mugs for a wedding party; engrave a single recognition plaque or a pile of medals for a sporting event.

“Sometimes our customers come in with a logo they want to use, and sometimes they come in with an idea and need help to create what they want,” Nancy says. “We have a comfortable sitting area where we can sit together and go through books and create exactly what you want.”

They both enjoy helping people which is played out in Nancy’s work as a part-time paramedic with B.C. Ambulance Service and Chris’s work as a volunteer firefighter.

Planting trees for the future in memoriam of loved ones is just one way that Five Rivers Crematorium in Williams Lake has chosen to give back to the community and environment. The commitment to plant 10 trees for every cremation started when Cariboo-Chilcotin Funeral Services took over the operations and management of the City of Williams Lake’s publicly owned crematorium. More than 700 trees have been planted in the Williams Lake and 100 Mile House area since June 1.

Their business model also includes profit sharing with the City of Williams Lake and the funeral providers who use the facility which makes it more economical for people to be cremated locally and without the expense of being transported out of town.

Mr. David Wilson, a licensed funeral director and the crematorium manager has taken care of families and their loved ones since the facility opened in 2002.

Five Rivers Crematorium is named after the Punjab region in India and in recognition of the Sikh community which spearheaded fundraising for the construction of the crematorium, which was also supported by local businesses and government contributions.

David Wilson Five Rivers Crematorium is well used by the whole community today as more and more people choose this humble way to say goodbye to their loved ones. Wilson says that about 90 per cent of families today choose simple cremation and Five Rivers will soon reach an average of 240 cremations per year.

Cariboo-Chilcotin Funeral Services also provides a full range of services, families can have an open casket ceremony prior to cremation in the Five Rivers chapel for family and friends or larger gatherings in a community hall or church. Funeral arrangements and embalming are also provided for traditional burials, and all arrangements can be made in the comfort of your own home if desired.

When a family member dies, Mr. Wilson says people are grieving, so he will also help them through the check list of things they need to do to put their loved one’s affairs in order.

“We can do it all,” Ray said. “After market or stock exhaust, whatever you need. We’re a full automotive repair shop.”

E.L. Fabricating carries, installs and maintains a full line of Hunter Douglas window coverings but the company is best known for its custom draperies created

by Esther Lagemaat. Her husband, Martin, and son, Rick, work in the business with her providing the muscle needed to install and maintain the products they supply. Esther has always enjoyed sewing custom clothing and bridal wear, so when she took a shine to making custom draperies, she traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina to train at the world class Custom Home Furnishing Academy there.

While Hunter Douglas carries all sorts of alternate window coverings such as vertical and horizontal blinds, sliding panels and screen shades, there continues to be a great demand for Esther’s custom draperies. “Custom draperies are still very popular,” Esther says. “Your windows are the eyes of the family home.” In their new location Esther has space to sew and for the show room which includes Hunter Douglas samples as well as drapery fabric samples. “We always special-order fabrics so you get exactly what you want,” Esther says.

Martin and Rick also operate the Hunter Douglas Ultima II cleaning service out of their new storefront.

The Ultima II provides temperature-controlled wet or dry cleaning of all types of window coverings and draperies while they hang in place. It is also used to clean upholstery, fabric wall partitions, lampshades and mattresses. Esther says draperies should be deep cleaned every three to five years with regular vacuum cleaning in-between.

250-392-4039 • 910A S. Mackenzie Ave. • Fax: 250-392-4208 Ernie West started learning how to make dentures in his hometown of Victoria when he was just 15, working at A & P Lab as a dental technician. Learning the trade on the job, he worked there for 15 years before becoming a registered denturist in 1969.

After several attempts at retirement, he still finds fulfillment in making people’s smiles brighter.

The bulk of his career was spent working in his own denture clinic in Victoria, but after their family was grown, Ernie and his wife decided to relocate to Williams Lake after a friend said there was a need for his skills here.

Ernie practiced here from 1994 to 1998. Life took a turn when his wife passed away. After a while he and a longtime friend in Victoria, who had also lost her spouse, rekindled their friendship and married.

Janet and Ernie decided to live in 100 Mile House, where they opened a denturist office together.

Ernie’s passion was always stock car racing. Riding horses came later.

When living in Williams Lake, at 59 years of age, Ernie rode his first horse and took many lessons with Doug White to learn how to ride.

Janet was raised on a dairy farm but had never ridden a horse until she moved to 100 Mile House with Ernie. There they enjoyed cattle penning and sorting.

Janet and Ernie lived and worked in 100 Mile House for four years, then decided to take a trip across the U.S. to visit family in North Carolina.

Later on they established a practice in Port Alberni for seven years. They left Port Alberni last year with the idea of retiring, but it didn’t take.

After living in Keremeos, where they have children, Janet and Ernie decided to settle in Williams Lake where they both enjoy the climate and have friends and some family. “We like the cowboy country,” Ernie says.

Ernie and Janet have established a new denture clinic in the basement of their home next to the Ramada Inn at 1138 Lakeview Crescent. One of the interesting features of the fresh new clinic is a robin’s egg blue dental chair which Ernie sold to a local dentist, and was able to buy back for his new office, still in perfect condition.

As a hobby these days Janet and Ernie like to get up early in the morning to go for a walk and bring bags to pick up roadside garbage along the way.

Ernie West Denture Centre offers a complete line of services: full and partial dentures; dentures over implants, rebases and repairs. They are open Monday to Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Fridays by appointment.

“Take a little time for yourself, you deserve it”, is the All About Her Beauty Bar motto.

Opened September 1, 2014 by owners Marilyn Martin and Jason Noble, All About Her Beauty Bar is temporarily located at E-197 4th Ave South. We will be moving to our new location at the Hodgson Mall (formerly No Holds Barred) December 1, 2015. All About Her Beauty Bar is managed by Tim Johnson with a leading team of estheticians skilled in providing manicures, pedicures, waxing, relaxation and other body treatments. There are two certified estheticians on staff two certified nail technicians, two in training and one certified lash extension technician.

The beauty bar provides Orly brand gel nails as well as all forms of body waxing from bikini waxes to eyebrows, as well as eyelash and eyebrow tinting and eyelash extensions. To go along with all the pampering, we carry a line of lingerie, bras, panties, sleepwear (mens and ladies), and Matt & Nat purses and bags. We also carry the Pull-In line for men (underwear, lounge wear, keychains, belts and much more).

Marilyn and Jason believe in Williams Lake. Marilyn is the property rental manager for Re/Max Williams Lake Realty and Jason owns and operates Infinity Trucking. From what they see in their businesses, Marilyn says they predict a bright future in Williams Lake as the hub of the region. She says the decision of the big box stores to locate here and a very low vacancy rate are positive indicators for the city. “I know lots of people who transfer here for work, or come here regularly for work,” Marilyn says.

We have donated to the local Lacrosse Bighorns team, Hospital Gala, Women’s Contact Society and many more organizations. Giving back to the community is a great way to show our appreciation for the community supporting us.

The Open Book owner Angela Rankin lives, works, and plays in Williams Lake, and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Angela grew up watching her parents, Joanne and Barry Laird, build up the family’s small business from scratch and run it for twenty years before they decided to retire in 2003. “They nearly sold it to someone else, and during that time I panicked a bit at the prospect of the business no longer being in our family. When the sale fell through, I realized that I wanted to buy the business myself,” Angela said, of discovering that owning and operating a small business was a great fit for her as well. “I really love Williams Lake, I grew up here and my roots are here, and I didn’t want to live anywhere else.”

And so, at the age of 28, Angela purchased the store and has never looked back. She has since married Jeff Rankin and together the two are raising a daughter, Sierra, 4, and live on a small acreage close to town with a big garden. “Williams Lake has been good to my family in so many ways for generations now. We love all the seasons, the community, the affordability, and owning a business.”

The Open Book, located downtown on Oliver Street, now boasts one of the largest selections of books available in an independently owned book store in a community the size of Williams Lake. Angela prides herself on her knowledgeable staff, customer service and also having what customers are looking for. “It’s so rewarding to surprise customers by having what they want,” she said. And what they don’t have in, they can usually acquire in under a week with no shipping fees. Angela also admits that she really likes the “business side” of owning a business; whether that’s choosing stock, reordering or paperwork.

Angela encourages residents to come down and check out her store, and the many other small businesses operating downtown in Williams Lake.

We are just local people supporting local needs, with a vision to give back to the Community by supporting the ones receiving the least help. Our hard working Volunteers take the donations so generously given to us by the community, sort them, polish them, getting them ready to be priced and put out onto the sales floor ready for our many loyal customers to purchase, keeping it all out of the landfill in doing so. Being like any other business with a vision and budget we must keep task to, we make sure prices are fair so that we can cover our operation costs and still give back to our Community. We even cut our own rags for sale to our local shops for $10.00 a bag.

Right now we are pretty excited to have 4 new helpers sponsored by Horton Ventures. This fits in with our aspirations to have a full time retail training program where volunteers can come in and receive valuable work experience, walking away with some solid retail practices. By shopping in our store you will be supporting these employees and their families.

Some of the programs we are supporting right now are the Good Food Box; Youth for Christ, The Great Room and we are giving groups the opportunity to receive a few more dollars by giving them the donations from our donation jar every month or two.

If you come by the store you will see Octoberfest Christmas in full swing with Christmas trees lit and decorated by the very talented Barrie Brown, who also graciously orchestrated our Silent Christmas Tree Auction last year. Do not miss out on the great holiday treasures to be found! Our trees are up for silent auction and they include the lights and bows.

LCSS students learn how to tackle the blues Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Students at Lake City Secondary School were encouraged to look out for each other’s mental health during a presentation at their school Wednesday morning.

“There are some physical and psychological things with depression we can notice if we pay attention,” said Janice Breck, manager of crisis and counselling with the Canadian Mental Health Association Cariboo Chilcotin Branch as she spoke students at the Williams Lake campus.

Titled Beyond the Blues, Breck’s talk outlined the signs of depression, anxiety and risky drinking.

If a friend isn’t participating in sports, which is something they normally do, or maybe isn’t eating properly, and it goes on day after day, those could be some signs to look for, she said.

“If you notice something, ask somebody how they are doing,” Breck encouraged the students, noting it is OK to be blue and sad because people cannot possibly be happy 24/7, but depression is more than that.

When she asked the students for examples of things it is fine to be sad about, they responded the death of a loved one, failing a test, getting fired from a job or a break up.

“Treatment for the blues requires someone to be a good listener, so we talk to our friends,” Breck responded. “If it’s a death we need time to heal.”

For depression people do need to be diagnosed and it is scary that less people go for help because they think they can handle it, Breck said.

“Twice as many women as men report depression, but that could

Anxiety is a normal response to some things in life, but when excessive and unrealistic fear and distress interfere with normal daily functioning it becomes an issue, Breck said, noting one in four people will experience anxiety issues in their life time.

Breck told the students substance abuse isn’t a good thing and wanted it becomes problematic when it affects a person’s life socially, personally, at work or school.

While low-risk drinking guidelines are suggested for youth zero drinks is best, if teens are drinking they should follow the no more than two drinks total for a girl and three in total for a boy,

Breck said.

Many local agencies participated in the event by setting up tables at the back of the commons room for students to ask questions after Breck’s presentation.

Participants included the BC Schizophrenia Society, Boys and Girls Club, Child and Youth Mental Health, Chiwid Transition House, Children Who Witness Abuse Program, RCMP Victim Services, Aboriginal Victim Services and Canadian Mental Health’s Family Solutions and Crisis and Counselling programs.

Adaline Hamm remembered With great sorrow, the Hamm family announces the passing of Adaline on Sept. 24, 2015.

Adaline and her twin, Jacqueline, were born in Ladysmith on Dec. 1, 1928 to Robert and Adaline Trotter, immigrants from Scotland.

The family was forced to move from that idyllic setting to “grey” (in her words) New Westminster during the depression.

They survived the depression, the war, losing a sibling, and losing their mother.

Their father remarried, and Adaline’s step-mother nursed her through tuberculosis while she was a teenager, before antibiotics.

COMMUNITY

Mental health care takes a team approach: RN Colleen Crossley Special to Tribune/Advisor I have worked in the mental health field for more than 25 years.

This past Sunday I had a chance to learn more about an “invisible” support system in our community for people with mental health concerns, psychiatric conditions and mental illnesses.

I saw all the passion, sorrow and hope in this special group of folks, gathered for an information sharing event at the Ramada Convention Centre, Oct 18.

I met families and loved ones, a room full of strength and support for many of the clients I have worked with over the years. It was humbling to realize just how very important they are in the care team and, yet, not accessed often enough by we in the clinical part of the team.

It was an afternoon of information, humour, sharing and connection to celebrate families and supporters and highlight some of the services available for them in the area and pretty perfect for their own support as the full-time part of the care team. The hall

There were a couple of participation stations where people could share best mental health strategies and sources of comfort.

Yes pets rate highly as preferred comforts.

We were honoured to have an opening prayer and a Shuswap welcoming song by Elder Virginia Gilbert from Williams Lake Indian Band.

The main organizer,

Danarae Latin from Exposed Expressions Tattoo Studio explained that it was all about the silent majority of the care team, the family members and loved ones. “I had to do it,” Danarae said.

It was time, she explained, to acknowledge and show an understanding of their experiences and the very real need “out there” for support programs and care-for-the-caregiver services they truly deserve.

“My mother is my

BlueNote prepares for Halloween The city’s popular band BlueNote is playing for a Halloween Party at the Laughing Loon on Saturday, Oct. 31.

“We’re looking forward to the Halloween party and hope that the

spookiest night of the year will attract ‘zombies, fairies and fantasy creatures’ alike,” says lead singer Carmen Mutschele, who adds the band has added a few more upbeat songs and

Latin tunes to their repertoire for people to kick up their heels and dance.

The event starts at 6:30 p.m. and tickets are available at the Laughing Loon or from band members.

Cariboo Gold remembers The Cariboo Gold Dance Band is hosting An Evening of Remembrance concert and dance Nov. 15 at the Gibraltar Room featuring renowned trumpeter Donnie Clark.

A professional trumpet player Clark has performed with stars such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

The evening of music from the Second World War will be in honour of Remembrance Day and the music which boosted the moral of North Americans during the .

“The music will fol-

low a Remembrance Day theme and of course, there will be room for dancing,” says band member Bill Crook.

Tickets are available from band members, at The Open Book and at

the door: $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and children. Net proceeds will go to the Williams Lake Legion Branch 139, and some legion members will be there to help with the show.

Used book sale beginning The 25th annual Daybreak Rotary Club’s Giant Used Book Sale is coming up Oct. 24 to Nov. 8 in the upper level of Boitanio Mall.

Donations for the sale are gratefully appreciated and can be dropped off at collection bins located at Safeway, Save-On-Foods, Western Financial, Boitanio Mall (main entrance) and at the 150 Mile House Centre. People who need books picked up can call 250-392-4498. Proceeds from the book sale are used to support Rotary and its community projects.

motivation for the day” Danarae said. Her wish is that all members of the care team, including

willing families, who probably know their loved ones better than anyone else, be included and their contributions respected.

As a tattoo artist Danarae has jumped onto a national campaign to use the semi-colon symbol (;) as a sign of support for those having mental health challenges and their supports that means the same as it does in any use – the story isn’t over yet, there’s more to come.

Since suicide is one of the tragedies families must deal with in their caring, it is thought that a simple semi-colon might become a significant sign of support.

Danarae has designed 100 or more semi-colon variations that add even more significance and she is donating the pro-

ceeds from these tattoos to the fund set up to supply comfort measures for those with mental health issues as so many have very limited incomes.

During the event there was also a silent auction, raffle, and prizes to raise funds for the cause.

Cindy Charleyboy was there to represent one of the biggest family support organizations in the province – the B.C. Schizophrenia Society.

She is the newlyhired program and services manager who has volunteered for 16 years in our local BCSS program and now has an opportunity to utilize her experiences to develop and strengthen support resources for families all over B.C.

BCSS helps clients and families/loved ones who are challenged by any of the mental illnesses, not just schizophrenia.

As a long-time member of the professional part of mental health teams in the CaribooChilcotin for more than 20 years, I spoke about the importance of these partnerships with all members of the team.

We absolutely need each other.

Single parts of the team can never do all that can be done collectively. Everyone can contribute. Stay tuned for next year’s event, everyone – we all know someone who would benefit from some support!

Bantam T-wolves win gold in Quesnel The Williams Lake Bantam Tier 2 Timberwolves went unbeaten at a tournament in Quesnel during the weekend to march away with the gold medal.

The T-wolves outscored their opposition 34-16 in five outings in

the winning effort. In the final, Williams Lake edged Fort St. John, 3-2, to win the gold.

Williams Lake took full advantage on the power play with Brody Conroy, Brendan Pigeon and Tanner Hooper all converting with the ex-

tra man. Assists went to Grady Thomas (3) and Conroy (2).

The tournament semifinal saw the Timberwolves lay a 9-3 drubbing on Vanderhoof led by a two-goal effort from Thomas.

Lane Paddison, Tristan

Takats, Justin Swan, Hooper, Conroy and Jake Jackson scored in the win, while assists went to Thomas (2), Jackson (2), Paddison (2), Pigeon and Conroy.

Williams Lake opened its tournament Friday with a 6-3 doubling of

Prince George — a team they’ll face on the road Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 in league games.

Thomas, again, led the charge notching a hat trick in the first eight minutes of the game.

Swan, Jackson and Pigeon also scored in the

win.

Jax Passeri (2), Conroy, Swan, Cade Enns, Thomas and Paddison helped setup the game’s tallies.

Can’t help with this.

But we can give you…

Coach impressed by team’s start to season Despite two tough losses during the weekend, Williams Lake Bantam Female Timberwolves coach Ben Pierce likes what he sees to start the season.

The T-wolves dropped two home-ice games — 3-0 and 4-1 Friday and Sunday, respectively — to Kelowna.

“The team is playing well and coming along nicely as a team,” Pierce said. “Kelowna appears to be the strongest team in our league so to have two solid games with a top

team early in the year is a good sign.”

He said his players are more experienced at the rep level this season and expectations are high as to what they can accomplish.

“We have three solid lines that can score, five strong defensemen and good goaltending,” he said.

“We’ve played some top-calibre teams in tournament play that really show what it takes to be successful and where we can get to. I’m extremely

have two wins, one tie and six losses on the campaign.

Saturday, Williams Lake beat Dawson Creek, 8-2, before its first meeting with Vanderhoof, an 8-6 victory in the T-wolves’ favour.

The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex is hosting two spooky swims — a Monster Mash Pool Bash — Thursday evening, Oct. 22, and during the Pro D Day on Friday, Oct. 23. Thursday between 7 and 9 p.m. will be a Tween Night. Friday is an everyone welcome swim from 7:30 to 8 p.m.

Regular admission rates apply.

Sunday, Oct. 25 Angie Mindus photo

Peter and Dawn Arnold, along with their daughter, Alisha (back left), and Theresa Herrling enjoy the Williams Lake Powder Kings trail between Chimney Lake and Lac La Hache recently. New regulations Nov. 1 will mean owners must register all OTVs.

Regulations for OTVs come into effect Nov. 1 Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Owners wanting to operate offroad vehicles in B.C. must register them by Nov. 1 and clearly display a visible number plate or sticker or face stiff fines.

The one-time $48-registration fee comes after the Off-Road Vehicle Act was passed on March 24, 2014, replacing the 40-year-old Motor Vehicle (All Terrain) Act. Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said the ORV community has been asking for a proper registration program for years. “Hopefully it will stop theft and if your vehicle is stolen there will be an identification because it’s registered,� Barnett said Monday,

noting it will also promote safety.

Under the act, officers have the ability to stop, inspect and where appropriate, seize ORVs for safety or evidence purposes.

The maximum fine has been increased from $500 to $5,000 and some offences include up to six months in jail.

Fines for violation tickets have also increased; for example, careless operation of an ORV increased from $115 to $368 and operating an unregistered ORV on Crown land increased from $58 to $230.

The fines are more of a deterrent than anything, Barnett said. “When you look at people riding in areas of sensitivity to the environment or on people’s prop-

erty without permission there are people who don’t obey the rules of the land and the road so hopefully this will help stop some of it.�

Local rancher and vice-president of the Williams Lake Off Road Motorcycle Association, Roger Patenaude agrees with promoting respectful and safe operation of off road vehicles, but said ranchers are not really happy about how cumbersome the regulations are. “We are trying to get them to classify ATVs as an implement of husbandry the same as we do with our tractors,� Patenaude said. “We are allowed to operate our tractors on the highways in our ranch boundaries and then we’re covered by ICBC with liability insurance.�

Registering ATVS, however, is not an issue, but right now they have to register them and then go to the RCMP for a special use permit for highway use.

The permit, Patenaude said, does not necessarily allow them to drive on highways, just the side of the road, so if they are trying to get cows off the highway it doesn’t do them much good.

As with other vehicles, owners must provide proof of ownership and payment of applicable taxes at time of registration, and ORV riders 12 years and older will also be required to carry government issued photo ID. All monies collected for the registration will go into running the program, Barnett said.

Glanville helps ‘Pack in win over UVIC A Williams Lake forward helped the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s soccer team make history in Kamloops Sunday.

Ryan Glanville, who grew up honing his soccer skills in

the lakecity, scored once and helped setup another tally in a 4-2 win over the University of Victoria Vikes in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) Canada West play.

It was a match

WolfPack head coach John Antulov acknowledged was the biggest win since the program joined CIS less than two years ago.

With the victory TRU improves to 2-6-2 on the cam-

paign while UVIC fell to 4-3-3.

“To beat one of the top teams in the country — they have such a storied history,” Antulov said.

SPORTS Second Lakecity Chess Open coming up Saturday Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer

Angie Mindus/Tribune file photo

Players in last year’s Lakecity Chess Open compete in the inaugural open chess tournament. This year’s tournament is coming up this Saturday, Oct. 24.

With the hustle and bustle of the federal election now over, fans of strategic voting are invited to turn their attention to the second annual Lakecity Chess Open Saturday.

“They could be positional, attacking or defensive players,” said organizer Scott Richardson. “Chess is the game to sharpen your skills.”

Spectators are invited to watch, while games in both the casual/youth and open divisions get underway at 10 a.m. at the Williams Lake Library. The last round of the tournament will run between 4 and 4:30 p.m.

“Fifteen or 20 games going on at the same

time can be exciting,” Scott said.

Scott’s son, chess sensation Kai Richardson, will be playing simultaneously against 10 to 20 players at around 12:30 p.m. Players from Quesnel, 100 MIle House and Williams Lake will be attending.

“We’ve advertised the Second Annual Lakecity Chess Tournament to chess players across the country,” Scott said.

“Who knows who might show up. There are a few thousand chess players in Canada.”

Prizes will be awarded to tournament winners and door prizes will be handed out during the event.

WolfPack close out regular season Oct. 24-25 Continued From Page B2 “For the last four games our guys have been playing well but not getting the results. It was nice to see the guys reward-

ed for the time they put in.”

Glanville scored in the 32nd minute on a great individual effort. He turned at the top of the box and, with three Victoria defenders draped

around him, broke through to bury it for his seventh goal of the season.

Just before the first half ended, in the 42nd minute, Glanville again drove towards the Victoria

goal but was hauled down granting TRU a penalty kick. Nelson’s Mitchell Popadynetz converted on the PK to put TRU up 2-1.

The WolfPack close out the regular

season next weekend, Oct. 24-25, at Hillside Stadium meeting up with the University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves. Game time both days is 2:15 p.m.

HAPPY HARVEST

Greg Sabatino photo

Around 90 people took part in a five- or 10-kilometre Harvest Run, Walk or Ride Sunday beginning at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

Denise Skarra, recreation co-ordinator with the City of Williams Lake, said the inaugural Harvest Run was well received.

“Lots of families enjoyed the activity and trying to spot the hidden pumpkins along the route,” Skarra said, referring to a ‘Spot the Pumpkin’ contest along the race route where participants had a chance to earn boxes filled to the brim with fresh, locally-grown produce.

Complex, edged the Lac La Hache Tomahawks 8-7.

Williams Lake improves to 3-1-0 on the campaign, while the two other teams in the division — the Quesnel Kangaroos and the Tomahawks — both remain winless.

Saturday, Lac La Hache’s Kyle Crump opened the scoring just 17 seconds into the first frame, before both teams settled down in a 3-3 stalemate to end the period.

Matt Lees, Chad Wilde and Stuart Sasges scored for the Stamps. Robin Gilbert added two for the Tomahawks.

In period two Dylan Richardson and David Gore put Williams Lake up 5-3, before Lac La Hache answered back with three tallies from Ryan Conlin, Xavier

Stump and Donovan Nicholas to enter the third up 6-5.

There, however, Williams Lake turned the tide once again in the seesaw battle in the 8-7 victory.

Nathan Zurak scored once, while Lees (3-1-4) completed the hat trick in the final frame for the Stampeders.

Conlin (2-1-3) added his second of the night for the Tomahawks.

Williams Lake outshot the Tomahawks 46-27. Matt Brenner and Justin Foote split the goaltending duties for the Stamps, while Willie Sellars held down the fort for the Tomahawks.

Williams Lake now has a weekend off before returning to the CMRC to host the Kitimat Ice Demons for a Halloween tilt on Oct. 31. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m.
