The Williams Lake RCMP will have extra officers on hand in preparation for Halloween night Saturday.

“We will have substantial resources in place,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Del Byron.

Byron is urging motorists to be extra cautious while little ones are out Saturday evening trick-or-treating.

He also encourages parents to do their part to ensure children are as visible as possible, and opt for makeup rather than masks for better vision.

Byron also reminds parents to check candy before children dig in to their treats.

Several communities are planning bonfires and fireworks Saturday evening, including the City of Williams Lake, 150 Mile House and Tl’etinqox’t’in (Anaham Reserve).

On Sunday, Nov. 1 residents are reminded to turn back the clocks one hour to end Daylight Savings Time.

Fire Chief Des Webster encourages everyone to take the opportunity to also change the batteries on their smoke alarms when they change their clocks.

TNG supports project to recover moose Angie Mindus and Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writers A non-First Nations hunter and a Tsilhqot’in chief have found common ground in their bid to recover dwindling moose populations.

“We’re honoured to be a part of the (Cow Moose Sign Project) initiative and thank all those who have got involved,” Tsilhqot’in National Government Chair and Chief Joe Alphonse said Thursday before shaking hands with Dan Simmons, creator of the Cow Moose Sign Project.

“We all want to see healthy populations of wildlife, and we all want our grandchildren to see that too.”

Plagued by predation, over-access and poaching, the moose population in Region 5 has seen a dramatic decline in numbers in

recent years, according to government studies as well as hunter and First Nations accounts.

Tl’etinqox’t’in (Anaham First Nation) councillor and elder, William Billyboy said his father told him years ago to make sure to look after the moose.

“You have to teach your children how to look after the animals,” William said, with his wife Dinah nodding in agreement.

The couple are spiritual leaders and community elders, and along with Alphonse, are urging everyone, their own people included, not to harvest cow moose.

Alphonse said elders in the community were “disappointed” to learn of First Nations harvesting and selling moose meat in recent years while their community members rely on the meat as a main food source. In

the past five years the TNG have been engaged in an education campaign aimed at stopping over-hunting as well as deactivating upwards of 400 roads in the area to block everyone from road hunting.

“When it comes to saving the moose you can’t be prejudice,” he said.

In the past, his community has also worked with the BC Wildlife Federation to bring back trapping courses for the younger generation and promote trapping as a way to manage predator control.

Alphonse said endorsing a program to protect the cow moose fits with First Nations tradition.

“Our traditional laws have always told our members to leave cow moose alone. We want a moose strategy for the Chilcotin region and have been

Alphonse said industry also needs to do its part in controlling access.

“Industry has a role to play in managing the area,” he said, adding the Tsilhqot’in Nation want to be a part of regulating and enforcing wildlife manage-

ment in their region.

Simmons, himself a hunter, said he is thrilled to have First Nations support for the Cow Moose Project and has found he

has much in common with Alphonse’s views.

“This is really good news. It’s a big step in this project having First Nations involved,” Simmons said.

AN APPLE A DAY...

Star Trek medicine is becoming closer to reality with a small credit card-sized device using near infrared light to detect possible urinary tract infections. It is a non-invasive tool that will benefit those with spinal cord injuries who can’t detect the normal signs of bladder infection like painful urination. Although not ready for general use yet, it will save healthcare dollars by minimizing lab test costs.

The first alert pendant was marketed in 1974 and worked only in the home. Today these devices are very high-tech and some have GPS capabilities so the wearer can go anywhere and still be found. Some also can detect falls and will call for emergency help even though the button is not pushed. There are many different types available. Do your research for the one that is best for you.

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) symptoms often begin with a tremor in a hand and is most obvious when the hand is at rest or when a person is under stress but seems to disappear during sleep. Another PD symptom is bradykinesia which is the slowing down and loss of spontaneous and automatic movement. Both of these symptoms can be controlled by medications and in some cases deep brain stimulation therapy.

The biggest advance in drug therapy for Parkinson’s Disease occurred decades ago with a few refinements along the way. But the major breakthrough that will halt or slow the progression of the disease is still elusive. But hope never dies.

Work is always going on to discover how to treat major diseases including Parkinson’s. When new drugs come, our pharmacists will know about it.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer It took only seconds after arriving in Vancouver for a young Williams Lake woman to become caught up in the sex trade, said Const. Sharon Peters with the RCMP detachment in Williams Lake.

“She met someone online who sent her a bus ticket and she was on her way,” Peters told people gathered for an information session on human trafficking at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake earlier this month.

“I saw her recently back in town visiting, asked her how she was doing, and she said prostitution is paying her bills.”

Social media is one of the biggest challenges facing the battle against sexual exploitation, Peters said.

You only have to check internet sites to find women in the Cariboo are being sexually exploited, added Cpl. Jassy Bindra, the RCMP’s human trafficking co-ordinator for B.C. and Yukon.

“Key indicators for human trafficking and forced prostitution are words such as ‘new to town, in town for a short time and leaving soon,’” Bindra said, noting often photographs accompanying the ads do not show the girls’ faces because they are under age.

Instead the ads include provocative body shots.

When Peters joined the RCMP she was already very passionate about fighting human trafficking after working with an organization dedicated to helping women.

About a year ago, Peters helped with a

high profile case in Williams Lake where the police liaised with the Salvation Army.

“The Salvation Army were a big help,” Peters said.

“They are the number one resource I will turn to when I find out a girl needs help right now.”

In that case, the RCMP pulled the girl out of her living situation, booked her into a hotel where she had someone with her at all times, until they were able to organize transportation for her to go to a detox facility in Alberta.

“Here in town the crack is out of control,” Peters said, noting addiction and prostitution go hand in hand.

Once a woman is addicted to drugs she needs to earn money to pay for them.

And even if she is being pimped, it’s

hard for the police to charge her exploiter because she’s prostituting to pay for her addiction, Bindra said.

So when the RCMP and Salvation Army help someone, the first thing they have to do is help the person sober up so they can go into a safe house.

Captains Ben and Isobel Lippers at the Salvation Army Corps in Williams Lake are connected with Deborah’s Gate, a Salvation Army program that runs safe houses for survivors of human trafficking.

“Human trafficking is something the Salvation Army has taken on world wide,” Ben said.

Presently Deborah’s Gate has safe houses in Toronto and Vancouver, but the locations are kept a secret.

also runs the Great Room for women who have been victims of human trafficking.

“We have three women on staff, and Isobel my wife at the army, so if a women comes to us who is experiencing abuse we have an arsenal of women for her to talk to,” he added.

Peters said often the police are not aware of situations unless the public comes forward as she encouraged the public to keep their eyes and ears open. Bindra also encouraged the community to be on the watch for people who may be getting abused by employers who are overworking and underpaying them.

“If you notice an employee is working in the same place seven days a week you may want to check in to see if they are OK,” Bindra said.

Robert Johnson puts finishing touches on a hand-carved door for the tiny house he’s building at Esk’et First Nation west of Williams Lake. bear and salmon.

For the siding, they’ve used pine from Linde Mill and employed an old Japanese treatment technique — Shou Sugi Ban — where the wood is charred to help it resist mould and moisture.

To meet the challenges of cold Cariboo winters and make the house energy efficient, they’ve installed closed cell spray foam insula-

tion, an air exchange unit, a gas fireplace converted to propane, a propane stove and fridge, and an on-demand hot water heater.

“We haven’t seen the air exchange yet in tiny houses, but we’re learning it is do-able,” Bettina says.

The idea of starting their business, which they’ve named Esk’et Tiny House, was prompted by their de-

sire to offer people the opportunity to get into the housing market.

“When the tiny house movement started in Portland, Oregon it was about being less materialistic,” Bettina says.

“For us it wasn’t necessarily that, but more about seeing people prosper.”

It gives people freedom because tiny houses can be paid off faster, she adds.

If Esk’et Tiny House is successful, the Johnsons envision employment opportunities for the community and a chance for the “very creative” people of Esk’et to share their talents.

Last February the Johnsons left Victoria where they had been living and working for a decade, and moved to Esk’et with their three children to be closer to

When a home is 280 square feet every inch counts, says Robert Johnson as he stands inside the tiny house he is building for his parents at Esk’et First Nation, 45 minutes west of Williams Lake.

“Outside it looks tiny, but the idea is to make it feel spacious inside,” he smiles as he nods toward the curved rafters, two lofts and round windows.

Inside the bathroom, he pulls out a hidden shelf behind the shower for storing supplies and in the kitchen area shows where he’s extended the counter slightly to allow for an eating area.

Robert is a journeyman carpenter.

This is the first tiny house he has built.

After he and his wife Bettina looked at plans of other tiny houses they decided to design their own.

“We felt we could make it really interesting and use our creativity,” Robert says.

The front door is rounded on the top and has a carved scene of a

family.

“We are trying to see if this could be a business,” Robert says of the tiny houses. “Honestly it is hard because it is something new for this area.”

Bettina and Robert say living at Esk’et is an honour.

“This community is well-known for its recovery,” Bettina adds.

“The timing for us is good because we can encourage others who are doing great things.”

Tiny houses are built on a trailer so they can be moved, and are constructed to maximum widths and heights to fit under an overpass, power lines or bridges without requiring a transportation permit.

Their trailer was made to carry 11,000 pounds and can be pulled by something like a ranch truck or hooked up to a U-haul.

For people curious about the tiny house project, the Johnsons will be holding an open house on Saturday, Nov. 7 between 2 and 5 p.m.

They live on Wagon Road, the first place to the right. Everyone is welcome.

Halloween safety tips For young children, Halloween is one of the most exciting days in the year.

Costumes are selected, friends arranged and neighbourhoods often picked out well in advance.

As they go about their trick or treating, basic safety tips are often overlooked.

Here are a few tips to keep youngsters safe.

Children: • Halloween is more fun when shared with friends.

Never go alone.

• Can you see? Are you being seen? Wear reflective, brightcoloured costumes and avoid masks that restrict your vision.

• Only trick or treat at houses with lights turned on.

• Never eat treats until an adult has inspected them.

• Don’t criss-cross streets or run out from between parked vehicles.

• Walk on sides of roads or sidewalks and when approaching homes • Be respectful by not cut-

ting across lawns.

Motorists: • Slow, slow, slow. Expect kids to pop out at any time.

• Be prepared to react and stay alert.

Homeowners: • If you are participating in Halloween, keep your lights on and porch or walkway clear of debris and potential items easily tripped on.

There’s lots happening in and around Williams Lake on Halloween between multiple haunted houses, allday festivities at the Potato House beginning at noon with Pumpkins and Bubble Family Halloween Photo Shoot, followed by the zombie walk, the Haunted Potato House and the City of Williams Lake and 150 Mile Volunteer Fire Department fireworks.

Whichever activities you and your family decide to take part in, we hope everyone has a safe, fun and happy Halloween.

Help support legion’s Poppy Campaign in Williams Lake The 2015 Poppy Campaign is now underway across Canada and soon you will see people wearing these blood-red symbols of sacrifice. You will have merchants with poppies for sale along with Cadets selling them.

Will there be as big a demand for poppies as last year?

The nation was saddened by the tragic deaths of Corporal Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Office Patrice Vincent and as Remembrance was not far away, Poppy sales soared. Let’s hope it continues this year.

In a public ceremony at the Na-

the

weekend

Contemplating Ken

with Ken Wilson

tional War Memorial in Ottawa last week, dignitaries and citizens commemorated the tragic deaths

of Corporal Cirillo and Warrant Officer Vincent, killed a year ago last week in separate incidents.

David Johnston, Governor General and Commander-inChief of Canada, and Patron of The Royal Canadian Legion, was presented with the symbolic First Poppy of 2015 by Tom Eagles, Dominion President of the Legion.

This set the stage for the Legion’s Poppy Campaign, which is now under way officially.

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 139 in Williams Lake is ready for the 2015 Poppy cam-

paign and for Nov. 11 ceremonies.

Branch 139 Poppy campaign chair Joe Bazan has volunteers phoning businesses to take wreaths for display and some are also taking boxes of poppies for sale by donation.

The sale of poppies goes to help veterans and their dependents in time of need and help.

Help the legion and the veterans this year, buy a Poppy. Don’t forget to turn out for the Nov. 11 Remembrance Day. Using poppies to commemorate the war dead began in France, where the red flowers grew on the

graves of soldiers.

The famous poem, In Flanders Fields, written by Canadian John McCrae during the first World War, help make the poppy a symbol of remembrance, especially in Canada.

Canadians have worn them since the early 1920s to remind us of the horrors of war and to remember those who gave their lives for us.

The poppy is properly worn on the left side, over the heart.

Myths about the Highway of Tears The scandal of the week at the B.C. legislature is what could be termed “delete-gate.”

Primarily, it revolves around 36 pages of government e-mails that the NDP opposition has been trying for a year to get under freedom of information legislation.

They relate to a series of meetings between transportation ministry bureaucrats and remote communities along Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert.

If you want all of the accusations about government secrecy and alleged cover-ups, I invite you to read “Access Denied,” the latest report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner at www.oipc.bc.ca, and transcripts of question period in the legislature this week.

What you won’t find there is much discussion of the actual problem, which is a shortage of safe and practical transportation options in and out of these communities, most of which are federally funded aboriginal reserves far from the region’s only highway.

What we have seen for decades is a dramatic media narrative about one or more serial killers preying on vulnerable women hitch-hiking along what is now known world-wide as the Highway of Tears.

The Wikipedia entry for Highway of Tears gives a sense of the credibility of this narrative. It begins with the unsolved murder of Gloria Moody, last seen leaving a bar in Williams Lake in 1969.

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

That’s a long way from Highway 16.

Then there was Monica Jack, killed in 1978. DNA technology resulted in a charge finally being laid last year against a known serial rapist. This was even further away, near Merritt, and she was a 12-year-old riding her bike.

Other cases involve street prostitution in and around Prince George, an urban hub for a large aboriginal population similar to Regina and Winnipeg.

Discussion in Victoria focuses on urban notions of increased transit, in places where existing service may be under-used.

Nationally, the narrative is that deep-seated social problems within aboriginal communities would somehow be solved by a lawyer-heavy judicial inquiry that looks only at tragedies involving women.

If you drive Highway 16 today, you will see fading billboards pleading for information on the disappearance of Madison Scott.

She was last seen in the early hours of May 28, 2011, after a grad party in the woods outside

Vanderhoof. Her truck and tent were still there. Again, nothing to do with hitch-hiking, but at least it was near Highway 16.

Here’s something else you won’t often hear in the Highway of Tears melodrama.

There is commercial bus service on Highway 16, although Greyhound reduced frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs.

BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities like Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connecting them south to Smithers. But BC Transit requires local

governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay.

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments.

Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you. And Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care.

Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solu-

tions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame.

I hope the infamous 36 pages of emails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release.

They may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

NEW SCHOOL UNDERWAY AT ESK’ET

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Kip Robins (left) and Edward Dick (right) work at the site of the new school at Esk’et (Alkali Lake) First Nation Wednesday afternoon. TRUE Construction began the project two months ago and has hired an entirely local crew. The concrete is expected to be poured Friday, the roof up by Christmas and the school ready by September 2016.

Swinging on gates of unforgettable memories We all have indelible memories of incidents when we were very young.

This memory comes to me every time I pass a particular ranch on the Beaver Lake Road.

That is the road that runs from Beaver Valley to McLeese Lake.

The ranch may be called Beedy Creek Ranch.

It had a place in early settlement times probably when the gold mining was still in the post rush phase.

The house was built as a spring house. The cold stream literally ran through the building to cool milk and keep food cold.

This was a supply stopping house on the wagon road. The spring had been diverted many years before and the floor was wooden.

Ranch Musings

with David Zirnhelt

At the time of my memory it was owned by Bill and Inez Crosina.

They were very good friends of my parents.

It was a Sunday afternoon. In those days our family went for Sunday drives — my dad and four

kids at the time.

Mom was along.

She usually needed the day off from the kids, but she did go on the drive to special places.

Such was this place.

Dad and “Uncle Bill” were looking at cattle somewhere in the barnyard.

Mom and “Aunt Inez” were in the house.

I was swinging on the pole gate that led to the corral.

My brothers were pushing the gate and I got the ride as it swung open and closed.

On a ranch that was not done and if you were caught you were admonished, which I was.

Being sensitive like most kids, I ran to my mother (dad was impli-

cated in the “admonishing.)”

Mom assured me that uncle Bill really did like little people, and that I should never swing on gates.

Most of out gateposts now are firmly in the ground and made of treated wood.

Even if they are properly braced they seem to move just enough so the gates hit the ground before they are open.

That is a nuisance, especially if you don’t want to get off your horse to lift them, or if you have a bad back.

Pole gates are heavy.

Never will I forget the lesson that I passed on to our kids and their friends.

And never will I forget the night uncle Bill spent the night sleeping

in our kitchen sink at the 150 Mile.

If the folks had heard him at the door he would be shown to a bed.

This night no one heard him come in. It seems he would often stay over if he had been late in town and didn’t want to drive home.

More unforgettable was the hearty breakfast mom would prepare for him: two raw eggs cracked into a glass and tobasco sauce. Just to settle the stomach.

Not appetizing for we young “gateswingers.”

Office & Retail Space Meeting or Banquet Rooms 6-150 people

There were lots of chuckles and smiles as women and children picked their way through items at the Waste Wise clothing swap held at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre last Friday.

“It’s a great way to pass on some clothes,” said Erica Nitchi of Likely as her 18-month-old son Jonah smiled in her arms. “I brought lots of mine and Jonah’s clothes here.”

Organizer Mary Forbes was pleased with the amount of donations brought in for the swap and the number of people who showed up for the event.

“It’s been about five years of building this up with private clothing swaps and I decided it would be great to have a pub-

lic one,” Forbes said.

“We will host another one in February, but with toys too.”

Jessie Foltz and her daughters Sydney and Ellie dropped off clothes earlier in the day and were back a few hours later to see if they could find any thing to take home.

“I think it’s pretty cool,” Sydney said, adding it’s fun to go swapping.

Her mom agreed.

“I’ve been to private ones but never a public one, it’s excellent.”

Suddenly at the end of the hall, Jill Zirnhelt exclaimed she’d found her scarf, which had gone missing five years ago.

Laughing Sashie Star said the scarf turned up at a winter solstice workshop she’d led at Kix 4 Chicks.

“You weren’t even at the workshop,” Star told Zirnhelt.

Much to her surprise, Jill Zirnhelt discovered her old scarf in the offerings during the Waste Wise clothing swap held at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre on Friday, Oct. 23. As she held it up Zirnhelt said the scarf had been missing for five years.

Refugee meeting coming up With all the recent media concentration on the refugee crisis in Europe and worldwide, many Canadians are wondering how they can help.

In Williams Lake, there is a growing group of people organizing to sponsor a refugee family, says Sharon Taylor, settlement practitioner with the Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society “Even though the

newly elected Liberal government has pledged to support 25,000 refugees from Syria and Iraq this year, the existing process for sponsoring refugees remains quite complicated,” Taylor says.

Rather than have several different organizations in town duplicate each other’s research and efforts, the plan is to get together and see who else is considering sponsorship, what information ev-

eryone has gathered, and how people can support each other.

A meeting will take place at the Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society building at 118C North First Ave. at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 4, for a public discussion about local refugee sponsorship efforts.

Find a Church... ...Sponsored by the Williams Lake Pastors Fellowship

Be Kind, We’re Kin This Parson’s Pen was originally submitted in July 2013. It bears repeating.

It may be slightly cheesy to use a Parson’s Pen to feature such a ubiquitous word as ‘kindness’. A Google search reveals that every notable teacher, author, sage and philosopher has talked about this overused word. Yet we still live in a world where the news features violence, oppression, and every form of meanness every day. We may talk about it often, but all of our talking has not led to a kinder world. Could it be that something is missing in our understanding?

Read the following definition: “kind (adj.) ‘friendly, deliberately doing good to others,’ from Old English gecynde…originally ‘with the feeling of relatives for each other’.” Just think of the first three letters in the word: K-I-N. Kindness is rooted in kinship.

Perhaps we have tended to picture kindness as a sort of sentimental niceness. If we dig around at the roots, however, we discover that it is a ‘family’ tree.

To be kind is to treat each person like family. Perhaps your particular family does not create visions of kindness, but each of us can imagine how family ought to be. Warm, accepting, compassionate, honest, helpful, mutually supportive, generous, respectful, deferential, courteous,

PARSONS PEN

BY JEREMY VOGT patient—these words describe family. These words also define kindness. And kindness—treating one another “with the feeling of relatives”-- is desperately needed in our world, in our cities, and in our neighborhoods today.

Carefully considered, there is no such thing as the ‘kindness of a stranger’, for kindness does not recognize anyone as a stranger. If someone you were not acquainted with has treated you kindly, they have recognized you as family.

Valuable information.

Yet, obviously, a deeper understanding of the word is not enough to foster a kinder world. If that were so, we could hand everyone a dictionary and expect world peace. In our

moments of honesty, humans know that something deeper has been torn asunder between each other and within our own souls.

All of religion and philosophy throughout history represents recognition of this problem. The Judeo-Christian Bible reveals that the human family has been broken by rebellion against the Creator who breathed life into us. We cannot find sustained kindness within ourselves through deeper understanding or greater effort because we are deeply broken, separated from the Source of kindness. We have alienated ourselves from God and consequently also from each other. We do not need greater understanding or better techniques to become kind, we need new hearts and new life. We need a Savior.

The Bible claims that Jesus of Nazareth is that Savior. In his letter to the Ephesian churches, the apostle Paul said Jesus is the ultimate expression of God’s kindness toward us (Ephesians 2:6-7). In the life, teachings, death and resurrection of Jesus we find the kindness of God--and the only truly sustainable source of kindness in this world. I hope you will take time to explore the story of Jesus this weekend! He is waiting to welcome you with the kindness of family.

The Williams Lake and District Credit Union celebrated International Credit Union Day on Oct. 15 and one of the original founders was there for the celebration. Pictured are credit union CEO Jim Zimmerman, with Joyce and Reg Norberg (one of the first 100 founders), with director Erik Zwiers.

the local credit union, was there for the celebration.

With a chuckle Norberg said the credit union was formed as an alternative to the “big bad banks.”

Basically, he said those first 100 members put $100 down and pledged $10 a month to get the credit union started and it has been grow-

ing stronger since then.

“It’s been a pretty good ride,” said Norberg who was born in Williams Lake in 1930 and was living here when the credit union opened in 1952.

Over the years he says the credit union has had some great managers.

“The big bad banks were not the friend of ordinary people,”

Norberg said. “It was a place where you could come to discuss your woes and get a sympathetic answer.”

In those early days he said Earl Brown started the credit union in his furniture store on First Avenue.

Today there are more 57,000 credit unions in 105 countries worldwide that serve 217 million members.

Since 1948, International Credit Union Day has seen credit unions joining forces to celebrate the day in their local communities. The day recognizes the contribution of credit unions as a force for positive economic and social change, encouraging the success and well-being of member owners, staff and community.

The Masquerade Ball coming up in November has become such a popular annual fundraiser for the Cariboo Memorial Hospital that tickets sell out early, even at $100 a plate.

“We are very lucky,” says Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust director Rick Nelson.

“People look forward to the event. We always sell out and have a waiting list.”

While it may be difficult to get tickets to the ball, Nelson says the Hospital Trust is encouraging the community to support the event by donating items for the live and silent auctions and by buying tickets for the hospital ring raffle.

He asks people with donations for the auction to contact Hospital Trust Chair Carol Ann Taphorn at Interior Properties Real Estate at 250-392-0633 or Joy Hennig at RE/MAX Williams Lake Realty at 250-392-2253.

“We gleefully accept all donations,” Nelson says.

While the theme for the ball this year is Masquerade, he says people don’t have to come in costume.

“Keep it wide open,” Nelson says. “Use your imagination and have fun with it.”

The gala, which is sold out, takes place at Sacred Heart School hall on Nov. 28 with dinner by Carmen’s from the Ramada Inn and dancing to the band March Hare.

“People in the Cariboo clearly embraced the Olympic spirit and to be able to have our wood used in the medal ceremonies is a source of great pride,” says Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. “it’s a chance to showcase our resources and gold-medal winning forest products.”

Eighteen types of wood are being used for 23 podiums at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Mountview Elementary School students (left to right) Sierra Leboideven, Paige Romaniuk, Gabrielle Knox, Klaylynn Pare and Ella Carson present Rick Hansen with a card they made and had signed by all of the students during Hansen’s visit to their school Tuesday.

Hansen spreads positive message at Williams Lake schools Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Rick Hansen received an enthusiastic welcome during a visit to Mountview Elementary School Tuesday.

As they stood in front of a large painted sign mounted on the gym wall that read “Mountview Welcomes Our Hero Rick Hansen,” the students looked toward the doorway and yelled out their welcome.

With the theme song to the “Man in Motion tour” echoing through the gym, Hansen wheeled in and circled around the room, greeting the students.

the schools,” Hansen smiled.

Sharing some photographs of himself growing up, he told the students he was always on an adventure.

“I loved fishing and camping and had dreams about sports,” he told the students.

When he had his accident and broke his back, he thought his dreams and hopes were shattered, he said.

Then he discovered with a wheelchair he could get back in motion, and that realization evolved into a journey around the world, where he raised $26 million.

“When I look to the future I believe my Man in Motion tour was just the beginning,” Hansen said.

“We still have a long

way to go to continue to remove barriers so that people with disabilities can be like anyone else.”

His vision, he told the students, is a world where everyone is working together to help others.

Principal Rick Miller thanked Hansen for opening their hearts and imaginations as to how they can make a difference.

“I don’t think anyone else can say they wheeled 40,000 kilometres through 34 countries for other people,” Miller said.

Hansen was presented a large card signed by all the students and a wooden tree carved by Pioneer Log Homes Ltd. When Hansen visited Ms. Peel’s Grade 4 classroom the stu-

dents asked him about funding opportunities because they want to raise money to buy a wheelchair swing for Sae Fisher, one of the students in the school.

“Your swing project is a great idea,” Hansen told the students and encouraged them to keep in touch with him through e-mail about the project.

Hansen spent Monday visiting family, and also visited students at Chilcotin Road Elementary School on Tuesday.

“It is always great to have a chance to come to Williams Lake,” he said.

Hansen told the students to keep an eye out for an upcoming episode of the Mercer Report in which he will be sturgeon fishing with Rick Mercer.

Speedway hits brakes for end of season Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Racing is in Cole Byrd’s blood.

Cole, in just his third year racing, claimed nine trophies — including the most sportsmanlike driver and

best appearing car — and sprinted away with Thunder Mountain Speedway’s street stock points championship.

Drivers were honoured at the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association Clubhouse during TMS’s

Awards Banquet Saturday.

Cole, in the No. 77 car formerly run by Shuster Johnson for 40 years, amassed 72 points across seven events, four points ahead of a second-place tie between Kane Fraser and Byron Hesselgrave (68

points).

Third place in the division went to Tim Graham, followed by Joran Bremner in fourth and Donny Kunka in fifth.

Cole’s brother, Matt Byrd, made it a two-way sweep as Matt claimed the

Quesnel Goldpan Speedway season points championship, following in their father George’s footsteps after he raced cars in the 1980s and 1990s.

Your Preschooler and… Feelings Your child’s emotional development is also an important part of getting ready for school.

Since birth, your child has been developing many emotions, from sad, to happy, to angry.

Entry to school will be helped by learning to handle feelings appropriately. As part of emotional growth, your child will typically develop deeper qualities like caring, self esteem, flexibility and may better understand others’ feelings.

All of these things will help him or her meet the challenges of school. Generally, your preschooler will begin to talk more about feelings and understand both negative and positive emotions. Being able to cope with frustration and anger typically improves between age three and Kindergarten. Preschoolers may begin to develop a sense of self esteem and confidence.

“Without the volunteers we wouldn’t be racing and doing what we love to do. We gave several volunteers extra recognition.”

A d d i t i o n a l l y, Heartland Toyota donated a trip for two to a choice of 99 destinations, won by Jennifer Knott in a raffle.

During the racing offseason, Lowen said TMS’s concession in the pits — an old school bus converted into a concession — will be replaced.

“Last year we had a proper concession trailer donated to us,” he said. “It needs to be remodelled a bit but that’s our main priority to get that done.”

He added TMS directors are also working on several interesting sponsorships for next season.

Auditions

Try some of these with your preschooler: 1. Talk about feelings and what might cause them: “You are feeling really happy. Is it because we’re going to the park?”

2. Expand vocabulary using new words to describe your child’s feelings like “disappointed”, “frustrated”, “excited” and “surprised”.

3. Listen to and accept your child’s concerns.

Reassure and comfort with a cuddle, showing the love that you have for your child.

4. Encourage your preschooler to talk about him or herself: “Tell me three things that you like to eat.” “Can you think of something that makes you happy?”

5. Pause while reading a book and ask your preschooler how a character might be feeling.

6. Show how to handle emotions positively yourself.

Suggest to your child different ideas for coping with emotions and how you do it.

7. Address inappropriate behaviour immediately and calmly. Preschoolers usually have fewer tantrums, but may fight over things like toys. Help cope with tantrums by discussing afterward what helps your child feel better when experiencing frustration or anger.

8. Model patience and persistence in all your tasks.

Children will learn to stick with things by acting like their parents.

Bantam Female T-Wolves post strong results The Williams Lake Bantam Female Timberwolves took a bite out of Prince George during the weekend winning two and tying one game on the road.

“We played two games with three regulars out of the lineup and in the last game we played four players short,” said head coach Ben Pierce, who was pleased with the weekend’s outcome.

“Our team focus was on strong defensive positioning and playing with compo-

sure. The team stuck with the game plan and were rewarded with their efforts as we took advantage of opportunities.”

In game one the Twolves skated away with a 2-1 victory.

Sara Vermeulen and Pyper Alexander both found the twine in the winning effort.

Game two saw Prince George bounce back to tie Williams Lake, 2-2.

Senna Trampleasure, assisted by Paige Outhouse and Emma Pittman, scored first, followed by another

tally from Outhouse for the Timberwolves.

Game three was another tightly-contested affair with Outhouse scoring the lone goal with one minute left in the third period to give the T-wolves a 1-0 shutout victory.

Next up for Williams Lake are two games against Castlegar in Williams Lake at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex today (Friday) and Sunday.

Sprickerhoff leads TRU’s men’s running team into championships Finishes 27th in senior men’s category at BC cross country championships Williams Lake’s Conlan Sprickerhoff recently captained the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s cross country team into the BC Cross Country Championships at Beban

Park, Nanaimo.

Sixty-six women and 102 men entered in their respective races, including some of the top runners from Kenya, Ethiopia and other countries, in distances of six-

kilometres and eight kilometres.

WolfPack running head coach Carmin Mazzotta said Sprickerhoff closed well over the final one kilometre to finish within three seconds of his

COMPASSIONATE CARE & SERENITY GARDEN

teammate, Brennen Smith, in 45th overall and 27th in the senior men’s category.

“A solid display of quality team running in a race situation,” Mazzotta said.

“Impressively, even after adding 100 seconds to make up for the 500-metre differential [in the course distance], which is more than enough at the pace these men were running, this resulted in big personal

bests for all three [of our men’s runners], with adjusted times in the low 27-minute range over eight kilometres for all three.

Mazzotta said although the team still has a ways to go before they can legitimately compete as a team of five to seven (five runners score in cross country and the two additional runners can serve to displace other teams in scoring) at a CIS Na-

tional Championship race, they have several individuals on both the men’s and women’s sides who can be in the mix and hold their own.

“We intend to grow that number as we continue to build the program in the coming years,” he said.

Next up for the WolfPack is the Larry Nicholas nine kilometre race on Sunday, Nov. 1 where the entire TRU cross coun-

try team will be racing.

“For most of the runners, this will be their last competition of the season,” Mazzotta said.

“A decision will be made within the next week to 10 days about which athletes on the team will be representing TRU at the CIS National Championships in Guelph, Ont., the epicentre of Canadian distance running, on Nov. 14.”
