With winter just around the corner, Mount Polley Mine will have to move to 24/7 operations soon, said Steve Robertson, Imperial Metals vice-president of corporate affairs.

“Winter conditions don’t allow us to do one week on, and one week off,” he said. “If we took a full week off and got a cold snap we’d come back to all sorts of problems with stock piles and frozen up conveyor belts.”

The mine has been operating every other week since receiving a permit in August to process half of what it would normally process in a year, he said.

As of Wednesday, 244 employees were back working at the mine and other workers are in the process of being called back.

“We’re not going to ramp everything up all at once, but people will come back as we require them and I would think in the next month we would be back to our 24/7 operation.”

The mine is still “eagerly” awaiting approval of its water discharge permit to dump into Quesnel Lake and will be submitting its permit application to resume full time operations some time next week, Robertson said, confirming there will be a public consultation on the application as well as public meetings, hopefully before Christmas break.

Bella Coola man on cloud 6/49 A million dollar lottery winner from Bella Coola plans to open a tire shop with his winnings.

“I have always wanted to open up a tire shop in Bella Coola and employ my two sons. Right now people need to drive to Williams Lake for tires,” said Larry Moody.

“Now I can make this

happen.”

It was Halloween when Moody found out he won the Guaranteed $1 Million prize in the Oct. 28, 2015 Lotto 6/49 draw.

Moody says discovering the win on Halloween was the best treat ever.

“I was at the convenience store when I decided to self-check

my ticket. Initially, I thought I won $1000 so I asked the clerk if I could claim my prize,” recalled Moody. “She said that would be impossible because I won $1 million. I couldn’t believe it!”

Moody has big plans for his winnings but he will start with making his lifelong dream of the tire shop a reality.

As for the very first purchase, Moody says he will buy all new furniture for his home.

After that, he wants to make travel plans.

The winning ticket was purchased at Thunderbird Grocery in Bella Coola. Every time a lottery ticket is purchased in B.C., it funds programs across the province.

Bella Coola’s Larry Moody found out Oct. 31 he’d won $1 million.

Alexandria chief pushes for Gibraltar Mine water treatment plant Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The chief of a First Nations community located near Gibraltar Mine says a water treatment plant should be part of the mine’s water discharge plan.

Earlier this month, Gibraltar received a oneyear permit from the province to increase the amount of water it discharges into the Fraser River by 50 per cent.

“We still don’t know the cumulative effects,” said ?Esdilagh (Alexandria) Chief Bernie Mack of the increase in discharge. “I am pro-

mining and do think discharging water is the way to go, because we don’t want to see another tailings pond breach like Mount Polley. The tailings pond at Gibraltar is four times the size of Mount Polley’s.”

Estimating the cost of a water treatment plant at around $10 million, Mack said it is a small price to pay compared to the $300 million the mine spent on its upgrade and another $300 million on new equipment.

However, Taseko Mines Ltd. said there is no need for a treatment plant because the quality

of the water being discharged is “very” good, said Brian Battison, vice-president of corporate affairs.

The mine has been discharging water into the Fraser River for several years and there will be no environmental effects with the increase, he said.

“The water meets the water quality guidelines now, so why would you treat something when there’s no need to treat it?” he said.

Lime is used in the mineral concentrator and acts as a high density water treatment which is one of the reasons the

water quality is so good, he said.

As well, some of the water in the discharge is rain, snow melt and groundwater that has been accumulating for a long time in the tailings impoundment.

“For almost every measure the water quality is better than what is in the Fraser River,” Battison said.

Mack said there should have been an environmental assessment before the expansion of Gibraltar.

“We felt if that was done we would have better information in terms of water treatment.”

First Nations hunt near and fish in the Fraser River and have concerns about what will happen when the mine shuts down and finally moves on.

“Having a water treatment plant now could also help with their production of copper too because they could probably release more, which would be good for the investors and the environment.”

If the infrastructure is in place, it would be good for the public, Mack added.

“To me if we’ve learned anything from Mount Polley, water

AN APPLE A DAY...

An intrauterine device (IUD) is a very effective method of birth control.

However only 5% of women use that method. Compared to birth control pills where there are 5-9 pregnancies per 100 women per year, for an IUD it is 1 out of 100. IUDs do not increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease or ectopic pregnancies. It’s a choice to consider as an alternative to the “pill”.

It’s easy to confuse the term “nutritionist” and a registered dietitian. The latter can be the former but the former is most often not the latter. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist but a registered dietitian must have a bachelor or master’s degree in nutrition and have done an internship of practical work before being registered. For best on nutrition advice, seek out an registered dietitian.

Another space-age medical device available since 2012 is a handheld apparatus that will record your heart rhythm.

It allows the storage of up to 20 measurements which can be downloaded into a computer and sent to your doctor.

It’s called the HeartCheck Pen and can be used to help manage conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart arrhythmias and to monitor the effects of medicines.

Hemorrhoids often aren’t noticed until there is blood in the stools. This could be a sign of other problems as well so it is important to get it checked. Colon cancer is one of these other problems and is most successfully treated when found early.

There are medications to sooth mild cases of hemorrhoids. Talk to our pharmacists for some treatment suggestions.

treatment plants should be the standard for mines.”

Mount Polley Mine intends to install a water treatment plant according to its water discharge permit application.

“A lot of our water is fine to discharge without treatment, but quite frankly we’re putting it in because we want to ensure we are going to meet the requirements for discharge,” said Imperial Metals vicepresident of corporate affairs Steve Robertson.

“We decided the installation of a treatment plant would be the best way to go.”

The treatment plant will target total things such as suspended solids, copper and selenium.

“We won’t know what the full list will be until we get the permit,” Robertson said.

Battison said mines are required to have a reclamation plan that is updated every five years and fully bonded so the plan can be completely executed.

The mine continues to reclaim the land which is part of the plan.

“That includes water treatment and soil, everything, and it’s fully funded,” Battison added.

and attention under the Motor Vehicle Act. Neither speed nor alcohol were factors in the crash.

Watt told Cleaveley during his submission that he wanted to keep his driving ban to a minimum so he could continue to take his injured friend, Methot, for outings.

Watt told the sentencing judge he has no explanation how the accident occurred.

“I’m still trying to figure out what happened,” Watt told Cleaveley.

Watt acknowledged his three friends travelling with him were sleeping, but said he pulled over in the past when he felt tired behind the wheel.

Community fundraising events and an online funding campaign were organized in Williams Lake following the inci-

dent for Methot and his family, well known in both the mountain bike and off-road motorcycle communities.

Watson’s sister, Cynthia Hutchison, criticized the sentence and told Kamloops This Week she’s outraged Watt did not face criminal charges for ending the life of her brother, who was on his way to work at Tolko mill when the accident occurred.

The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that momentary lapses of attention by drivers do not constitute dangerous driving causing death under the Criminal Code.

“These are the most difficult sentencing cases, impossible for the family, accused or the court,” Cleaveley said.

“It’s impossible to craft the right sentence.”

hearings, a provincial court judge handed a $2,000 fine and a twoyear driving ban to a Williams Lake man who drifted into the oncoming lane of Highway 5 North in Kamloops, resulting in a crash that paralyzed his passenger and killed a driver from Kamloops.

“Mr. Watt in all likelihood fell asleep,” provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley said in his Sept. 17 sentencing decision in a Kamloops court room.

As of today, Delainey said, 37 downtown businesses are participating in the festival, with nine hosting events, 24 participating in the Ugly Christmas Sweater Scavenger Hunt, 22 in the Christmas Window Decorating contest, 4 in the Festive Food Challenge, 22 for the Cake Walk and 20 for Midday Madness.

Delainey reminds businesses that the deadline for merchants to sign up is Nov. 15.

To help businesses

pull off the three-day affair, Delainey said the committee is creating a partnership with Lake City Secondary School to give grads a chance to get their work experience hours filled while learning about business.

“We hope to foster a strong partnership that will create employment and perhaps inspire new business owners,” she said.

“We are creating an atmosphere that encourages people to hang out downtown.”

There will also be plenty of opportunities for giving, as the community is invited to help those in need with a food and clothing drive at the Festival Hub which will be located at the BIA office on the corner of 3rd and Oliver Street.

On Sunday at 11 a.m. festival winners will be revealed and at one minute to noon businesses will countdown for the Midday Madness event where stores will offer door crasher specials and red light sales every 30 minutes.

Delainey said the festival will have five main staging areas to offer a variety of indoor and outdoor events both Friday and Saturday — (1) Top Secret Events planned at Spirit Square on Oliver Street (2) Festival Information Hub and hot free chocolate located at the WLCBIA office at the corner of Third Avenue and Oliver Street, (3) Frantic Family Festivities located at the Red Tomato Pies building located at Fourth Ave North and Proctor Street.

Christmas promises to be a lot brighter in the downtown core this year with a crew of young business owners breathing new life into the annual Winter Lights Festival.

“We’re in high gear this year to bring back the true winter lights experience,” said Williams Lake Central Business Improvement Association chair Angie Delainey.

Delainey is one of several Winter Lights planning committee members whose goal it is to increase foot traffic in the downtown while kicking off the Christmas season and showcasing all the unique shops the downtown area has to offer.

“We are focusing on a pedestrian-friendly festival where people can come downtown to shop, celebrate and visit — we want to encourage people to shop local, spend local and celebrate local.”

An Old Fashioned Country Cottage Christmas is the festival’s theme, with free interactive family-friendly events taking place over three days — Dec. 4, 5 and 6.

The excitement kicks off on Friday, Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. with gingerbread building contests, an Ugly Christmas Sweater Scavenger Hunt, Festive Food and Drink Challenge, Children’s Activity Centre, Do-ItYourself (DIY) events, Christmas carolling, Getting Back to Basics Workshops, cake walk commercials, a town crier, and captivating buskers.

“Many of our downtown merchants have agreed to stay open until 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday night to extend the festival atmosphere,” Delainey said. “Shops will open again from 12-4pm on Sunday for the much anticipated Midday Madness.”

The Santa Claus Parade and light-up will get underway Saturday at 6 p.m. with a new parade route and free heritage photos with Santa at the Potato House from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Just ask to avoid scams If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

That’s an expression worth remembering now — and as we get closer to the busy shopping season, a time when what we might receive at Christmas starts to cloud our minds. In fact, it’s something everyone, of any age, should have etched into their brains, as incidents of fraud and scams press on, seemingly unabated.

That may sound a tad harsh or pessimistic.

It should be a good thing if someone steps up and wants to hand over thousands of dollars — or a bridge — for seemingly no reason. Or at least for no reason a person would reasonably expect to have anything to do with them. Unfortunately, windfalls like that are usually pipe dreams.

Whether it’s greed, a simple feeling of not wanting to upset people or for some other reason, folks fall for scams all the time.

And so, the scammers keep calling, emailing and writing, hoping for a response — just enough to encourage the behaviour.

And once a person and their money are parted, it’s exceed-

ingly difficult for the authorities to get it back.

Yet, police and financial institutions fight hard to try to prevent scams and the people who run them from taking advantage of people. Even so, we cannot rely on them. Individuals must be on guard — for the day will come when someone will try to weasel our hard-earned cash from our pockets.

When that happens, and the whole thing makes you curious or uncomfortable, just ask questions. Ask them who they are.

Ask for their phone number. Ask for their boss. And then ask to phone them back.

And if you are still not feeling good about it, just hang up. It’s the equivalent of walking away from panhandlers on the street.

Police continually tell us the best way to find out if something is a scam or not, is to call the agency purported to be offering the windfall.

It’s up to us to know the difference between them and the legitimately good people out there.

Sometimes, all it takes to be sure is to ask.

CELEBRATING 85 YEARS

Greg Sabatino photo

Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin executive director and curator William Adams shows the display setup at the museum dedicated to the Williams Lake Tribune’s 85th year in business.

The display features historical Tribune articles, including the front page of the very first paper printed, along with antique cameras used for capturing the news.

-Black Press

Corporate profits versus local jobs and environmental concerns In a previous article, I said the use of rail ties versus logging residual material for the Atlantic Pacific Corporation (APC) was about profits.

I want to clarify that I am not against a company making a profit but I think it is important to look at all facets of an operation to see how profit margins are arrived at and the long-term impacts on the community.

What is the rush?

I think we need a detailed comparison of the pros and cons of using railroad ties versus using local logging residues.

This comparison must include the number of local jobs gained or lost resulting from both approaches as well as the impact on our environment.

With the anticipated short fall of

the

weekend

Forest Ink Jim Hilton lumber production and mill waste, I was optimistic that the logging residue would become competitive and make up for any losses in mill waste.

This is why I am disappointed with the decision to use creosoted rail road ties instead without an explanation of why APC is going that route.

My assumption is the use of rail ties is more profitable because the cost of trucking logging residue is more expensive than the rail trans-

portation of rail ties.

Unfortunately, that means a loss of local trucking jobs.

It also means a greater green house gas production for the town and surrounding community. i.e. the logging waste will still be burned and we will also be importing and burning rail ties.

My other assumption is that the processing (chipping, drying and grinding) would have similar costs using either fibre source but with more health risks from the creosoted ties.

Retaining jobs and protecting the environment takes planning and long-term commitments. A power plant in Charlottetown PEI provides a good model to follow.

This private biomass heat and electrical power plant was established in the 1980’s using mill waste

from a local lumber mill.

The high cost of importing oil forced the town to install 17 kilometres of pipes to deliver the heat from the power plant to businesses and homes.

Since the mill closed in 2007, the small company has been meeting the fibre needs by chipping a variety of industry wood waste.

In 2008 when there was a reduction in the lumber production and reduced mill waste in the Interior of B.C. the wood fibre was supplemented by processing the logging cull piles. This was not as profitable for the companies but they wanted to maintain production and fulfill their commitments to customers and they did get some experience and cost information associated with this approach.

Unfortunately, millions of heat

units have been wasted by the APC plant since it was constructed and millions more have been lost by burning cull piles. That translates into a lot of heating fuel that could have been saved for future generations.

Hopefully the promises of infrastructure investments by the new Liberal federal government will translate into some biomass plants like the one in Charlottetown.

There are a number of rural communities throughout the province who could benefit from this investment.

Published by Black Press Ltd. 188 N. 1st Avenue Williams Lake BC, V2G 1Y8

The silence of the e-mail servers Premier Christy Clark’s government has been steadily backed into a corner on its apparent deletion of e-mails involving sensitive government topics.

A week-long barrage of accusations by the NDP opposition peaked with their most damning evidence of a cover-up, in the long-running case of eight health researchers suspended or fired from drug approval studies.

Most have been paid settlements or reinstated after the biggest personnel management blunder in memory. One committed suicide.

We are now into a second independent review of this tragic case, after an independent lawyer was unable to determine what went wrong, because she couldn’t compel testimony or demand records. It is now in the hands of B.C.’s new Ombudsperson, Jay Chalke, who has that authority.

Everyone agrees that the deputy health minister of the day, Graham Whitmarsh, was legally responsible for the decisions and records. Yet somehow the only record released to the NDP for the two-year period of the firings and subsequent investigation was a heavily blanked-out update from his successor, Stephen Brown, to the premier’s deputy, John Dyble.

It refers to an “update on litigation resolution from investigation,” the substance of which is blanked out, and offers to discuss the situation by phone.

Here’s an exchange between NDP MLA Adrian Dix and Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

Virk: Dix: “Can the minister explain why the Office of the Premier, the Deputy Minister to the Premier, has no records and why the successive Deputy Minister of Health had one record over two years?”

Virk: “The suggestion from the member opposite that there are no documents is false….

There are more documents now that the Ombudsperson has conduct of the matter and is undertaking a comprehensive review.

I fully expect that he will do a comprehensive review and will consent to the release of more documents.”

There will be more sound and fury over this, but only Chalke’s report can provide new information. And even then, the damage is done, settlements and non-disclosure deals have been signed, and Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake have formally apologized.

The larger issue is how freedom of information legislation should work. Should the opposi-

tion be able to second-guess decisions of bureaucrats by going through their e-mails?

The traditional answer is no.

Elected officials are responsible, even if they had no actual role, as should always be the case in hiring and firing ministry staff and awarding government work contracts. The buck stops with Lake and Clark, not their deputies.

There are sound reasons for this. Consider another sensitive decision, to shoot wolves from the air in a last-ditch effort to preserve dwindling mountain caribou herds.

Protesters, pop stars and politicians can sound off as they like, but these hard decisions are made and carried out by wildlife experts working for or consulted by the province. The minister, in this case Forests Minister Steve Thomson, authorizes the use of helicopters and rifles and takes the political consequences.

One can imagine the agonizing discussion that goes on behind the scenes, as provincial and First Nations wildlife experts watch caribou herds dwindle despite widespread habitat protection efforts. They not only make

the technical call, they have to pull the trigger.

Would wildlife biologists be able to provide frank advice for or against this decision if they knew their names and opinions could later be used in a political battle in the legislature and in the streets?

No. And can you run a public service if everyone is subjected to the scrutiny that only politicians choose to endure? No. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

CRABBY DEER

Angie Mindus photo

A deer defends her find as she uses a residential fence along Woodland Drive to her advantage recently to feed on some crab apples. There has been a large population of urban deer making their home within city limits this year.

Collaborative finds many factors in past economic slumps Some time ago, in the midst of the BSE (mad cow disease) crisis, which further lowered prices for beef on the hoof, the local cattlemen’s association and local Williams Lake economic development authority collaborated to look at what could be done to bolster this money-losing sector of the economy.

These land-based businesses weren’t going anywhere. It is hard to move the ranch land, but you can move the business, except that the whole industry nationwide was in the slump.

According to studies by prominent accounting firms, we here in the Cariboo, had a comparative advantage in that we had lots of land, including public land, that grew lots of grass without costly inputs. That being the case, then what to do was the question.

The same consultants answered this question. There was local processing capacity: abat-

Ranch Musings

with David Zirnhelt

toirs (slaughtering plants), coolers, and transportation, which could make local beef ready for market here and throughout the province.

Coming shortly after this time were new health rules to protect the public against meat born diseases.

Meat for resale into retail markets would have to be slaughtered in inspected abattoirs. Public out-

cry by people who felt just fine about home/farm-based slaughter, caused government to back off somewhat on the enforcement of these new tough rules.

But that was not until after the small local abattoirs that wanted to stay in the business invested heavily, some with government support, in renovating the meat plants to meet the new higher standards for cleanliness.

Remember the Alberta meat processing plant that had to recall millions of pounds of meat that might have been contaminated?

Local abattoirs in B.C. were running at less than 50 per cent of their capacity because there wasn’t enough local demand: not enough local cattle to go to their plants and not enough local consumers willing to pay the slightly higher price for a locally finished product.

These local plants can only

process dozens of animal per week/month, not thousands per day like the big packing industry can (volume efficiencies).

So to operate and retain staff, more year round supply of adequately finished beef ( or bison, lamb and pork) is essential.

These smaller plants can’t process everything, which is ready in the fall.

If moderately priced grass, and until recently hay and silage (forage), was our advantage then, what is the problem, you might ask.

The answer is that the cattle industry for 50-60 years has been breeding bigger cattle to get a large frame on which the feedlots could grow and fatten the beef.

One of the results is that, in the words of one international expert, only five to 10 per cent of the North American herd is suitable for grass or forage finishing.

So you have to have the right

genetics and the right pasturing methods.

At the moment, two of the four local abattoirs are much reduced because they can’t get staff: the industry can’t pay as much as mining can, and the foreign labour is nearly impossible to get into the country, even with our shortage, and training isn’t keeping pace. Abattoir operators can face personal injury and so this industry is vulnerable.

In a later article I will deal more with this local economic dilemma. In the meantime, the cattle industry is very pleased that our large volumes of calves and yearlings have a vigorous marketplace at the BC Livestock Co-op.

Innovation the key to success in ranching industry for Gillian Watt Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Growing up on a ranch and being a 4-H member helped give Gillian Watt the confidence to be innovative when it was her turn to be a rancher.

Speaking by phone on her way to the BC Bison Association AGM in Fort St. John recently, Watt, manager of the new Applied Sustainable Ranching program at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake, said her great-grandfather Jim Bishop managed the Gang Ranch at the turn of the century.

Later his son, her great uncle, also Jim Bishop, managed the Gang, so she has deep roots in the BC ranching industry.

“My father James (Bud) Watt grew up in Vancouver but his aunt and uncles were all ranching in the Cariboo so right after the war he headed to Clinton and bought Kelly Lake ranch with his brother in law. Over the years, dad did a lot of innovative things in ranching to produce better quality calves and increase his returns,” she said.

Bud worked closely with BCAI Centre when the exotic breeds as they were known as back then were coming into Canada. He performed artificial insemination on about 800 head per year when he worked for Ted Termunde managing the Diamond S Ranch at Pavilion, this was about 50 years ago now, Watt

said. They were the first to bring Simmental cattle into Canada. Then when he bought his own place at Barriere he continued the relationship with BCAI centre and did progeny testing on a large number of these new breeds and shared the production results with the Centre in exchange for free semen.

After selling Kelly Lake Ranch, her dad managed the OK Ranch, then Diamond S Ranch, and from there was the herdsmen for Coldstream Ranch for a couple of years.

Gillian first came back to the Cariboo after university to work as the Range Resource Officer at the Chilcotin Forest District. In 1994 she, along with her husband Jack Brown-John, and his partner Tim Menning and his wife, purchased the Black Creek Ranch on the Horsefly River.

Her foray into innovation began by venturing into grass-fed beef sales, focussing on beef jerky, and lean ground products that were a product of market cows.

“Market cows are largely all grass-fed but selling them in the fall through traditional markets, I thought there was a lot of room to improve returns in this area,” she said.

In her later years at Black Creek Ranch she began working on her MBA in Agriculture through the University of Guelph. At that time she changed from putting up hay to custom grazing.

For more information about the upcoming Applied Sustainable Ranching program contact TRU at 250-392-8000

She sent her cows away for overwintering at Cache Creek, where they were doing the winter corn grazing, and then brought them back just before calving.

To balance this expense, in the summertime she brought in cows from Cache Creek for custom grazing on her ranch.

“It seemed a better fit because of the heavy snow fall and the hard winter conditions. It rains a lot at Black Creek also so it seemed like a better fit to graze the land than put up hay.”

After that she started a tourism business at the Black Creek Ranch where guests could stay in a bed and breakfast and fly fish on the Horsefly River.

“We offered full meals and they fished in the river. It’s rated as one of the top fly fishing rivers in North America,” she added.

About four years ago she sold the ranch and has a hobby farm now near Kamloops where she raises a few sheep for direct sales to stores, restaurants and a few direct clients.

From Black Creek Ranch, Gillian went to work for the Royal Bank as an agriculture account manager and then onto TRU as a business mentor,in the office of research, where she worked on a couple of projects with the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association.

Eventually Gillian left TRU to work for the B.C. Association of Abattoirs (BC Meats), but

has recently retired from BC Meats to return to head up the new agriculture program in Williams Lake.

During her time with BC Meats, she has helped create two main programs — an online ordering tool for chefs and stores to buy “100 per cent B.C. Beef” and the B.C. Meats Traceability System.

The Traceability System gives producers information on their carcasses, she explained.

“They take a picture, grade it and the producer can log on and see his grade. At the other end, the chefs and stores can see the grades as well.”

The first launch of the information system revealed that some things needed to be changed and upgraded so those tweaks are in development now.

Watt’s replacement will be working closely with the BC Ministry of Agricul-

ture’s Traceability staff to upgrade this system.

Gillian will be in Williams Lake on Monday, Nov. 16 to host an in-

formation session about the Applied Sustainable Ranching Program.

It takes place from 7 to 9 p.m.

Council approves more parking expansion money for pool upgrade Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The City has agreed to contribute up to $250,000 toward expanded parking and a possible roundabout at the Cariboo Memorial Complex, to coincide with the pool upgrade.

A parking expansion would see an increase to 242 parking stalls by redeveloping the existing parking area and using a portion of the adjacent ball field space, while the roundabout would be located at the Proctor Street and Fifth Avenue intersection.

It is estimated with the roundabout factored in, the overall parking expansion will cost $1.55 million.

As it stands now, the parking expansion plan would see a four-way stop installed at Proctor Street and Fifth Avenue North.

During its regular meeting Tuesday, council received the funding request from the Central Cariboo City of Williams Lake Joint Committee.

While the additional funding is not in the city’s five-year capital budget, Coun. Scott Nelson said he supported approving the funding because there is already significant traffic congestion at the complex, let alone with an 86 per cent increase in parking capacity there.

“This is a political decision. This is the allocation of capital,” Nelson said.

“I think this is the right time. We’re spending $12 million on the pool and the last thing we want to do is ram everyone into an area and wreak more havoc.”

Coun. Ivan Bonnell was opposed to supporting the funding

allocation until council begins its 2016 budget deliberations.

“I’m suggesting we defer this until we can determine whether we can undertake it in 2016 and if so in what capacity,” Bonnell said. “This is a plus, over and above. They already have a fourway planned within the development.”

With council’s approval the parking expansion project will now got out for tender for a detailed design stage.

“We need to get the design work done so we know how much it will cost,” Mayor Walt Cobb said, noting in the long run the roundabout could save the city money because eventually lights would be needed at that intersection regardless.

If the design comes in over the $250,000 mark then it will have to be a whole new dis-

Collaboration gives life to local online children’s support centre Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Parents of young children in Williams Lake will now have access to a brand new one-stop early years virtual centre.

The centre will be primarily online at wlchild.ca and supported by social media, said co-ordinator Joanne Meyrick of the Women’s Contact Society during a joint presentation to city council with LeRae Haynes from Success by 6.

Locally the Early Childhood Development Network, Children First and Success by 6 collaborated on the proposal, with support from most of the programs providing services to children in Williams Lake.

Funding applicants were asked to tailor the proposal to the unique needs of their communities and a group in Williams Lake identified that while there are many programs and services for families with young children, many families aren’t aware of them or aren’t accessing them fully, Meyrick said.

Completed surveys from 75 service providers, parents and extended family showed that

most online information is not local and often programs are offered during hours when parents are not available.

“We are hoping that our website, being available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, will help to alleviate that here,” Meyrick said.

Categories covered by the website include childcare resources, Aboriginal resources, expectant parents resources, parent and child activities, crisis support, and health and development.

Every month will feature a different program and a calendar of events.

One event that’s new and exciting for the community is the firstever Baby Fest, taking place on Nov. 19 in the Gibraltar Room from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

“We will welcome every child born here in 2015,” said Haynes as she thanked the city for its support of the event.

“A special thank you to Mayor Walt Cobb who will be there to kiss babies and give them a special gift.”

Haynes invited all of city council to attend in whatever way they want, even if it’s “just to hang out with babies.”

Zukes, performed a song she wrote for awareness and education in the early years.

“It has, I feel very humbled by this, a great deal of provincial attention and will be distributed throughout the province,” Haynes said of her song which encourages parents to put aside the screens — the iPads, iPhones and have face to face time with their babies.

“That’s where we learn language, that’s where we learn hearing, understanding, communication and social

Ever wonder what happens to your wood waste? It all depends on where you drop it off. If it’s not segregated out of your household waste, it will be transported to your regional landfill and landfilled. If you dispose of it in your local transfer station bin, it too will be transported to your regional landfill. If you dispose of it at a landfill in the demolition and construction zone, it will be landfilled.

If you drop it off in a wood waste marshalling area it will either be ground up for fuel at a co-gen plant, or it will be incinerated on site.

Does it matter if wood waste is landfilled or incinerated?

Landfilling wood waste contributes more to climate change than incineration, takes up valuable space in our landfills, and if it is disposed of at a transfer station first, costs to transport it.

Landfilled wood waste creates methane gas as it decomposes in the oxygen deprived landfill environment.

Methane gas is greenhouse gas 21 times stronger than carbon dioxide when related to climate change.

Wood waste disposed of in landfills takes up valuable landfill space. The lifespan of a landfill is measured in volume by how many years of waste will fit into the existing landfill footprint. If we are able to reduce the amount of waste going into each of our landfills, it gives us more years of use.

Wood waste disposed of in transfer station bins must be hauled to the regional landfill, which is paid for by the tonne. Wood waste in transfer station bins also causes operational difficulties as it doesn’t compact well and prevents maximum use of the transfer bins.

One of the strategies under the Cariboo Regional District’s (CRD) new Solid Waste Management Plan is to divert clean wood waste from landfills. This will require site users to segregate clean wood from other waste. Clean wood is suitable for grinding and incineration and includes: trees, branches, shrubs, leaves, dimensional lumber, pallets and pieces of wood. Small metals such as fasteners (nails and screws) and hinges are allowable, as grinders have magnets to collects these. Contaminants such as dirt, rocks, concrete, brick, porcelain, steel, and other metals cause costly damage to grinding equipment and are strictly prohibited from clean wood waste.

Painted or heavily stained wood, treated wood, plywood, particle board or oriented strand board (OSB) and railway ties all need to be landfilled. These materials are not considered clean wood because the chemicals present in the finish, preservative or glue are harmful if incinerated.

Many of these materials are costly to purchase new and unused portions, or pieces that are still in good condition are accepted for re-use at any of the CRD’s share sheds.

Waste wise education is delivered to students in the CRD, but the CRD would like to make waste education available to everyone, as we all have the ability to change our waste handling habits for the better.

Superintendent speaks on leadership at prayer breakfast Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

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

Leaders need courage because they are making difficult decisions all the time, said Mark Thiessen, Superintendent of School District 27.

Thiessen was speaking at the annual Williams Lake Leadership prayer breakfast held at the Pioneer Complex recently, where

local educators were honoured by the leadership committee.

Up until Thiessen became the principal of the elementary school in Likely in 1999, he said most of his leadership experience was informal.

He’d coached soccer and grew up in a big family.

During his first few days on the job as principal he travelled

to a few homes in the community to meet with parents in person.

“I had to have some courage and be brave,” he recalled.

“It worked out really well. I still have good relationships with those families several years later.”

While he is the boss of the district, Thiessen said he answers to several bosses, such as elected officials, man-

agement staff, principals, vice-principals, teacher and support staff unions, 4,300 students, all of their parents, taxpayers of the region and the ministry of education.

“Besides those bosses and limitations, I get to do exactly what I want,” he said.

Living and working in a small community can be the best and worst part of a leader’s job, Thiessen added.

“As leaders we are often under the microscope.”

Social media has made life more complex too because sometimes a political rally can be sparked in three to four seconds, he said.

When he starts getting bogged down in bureaucracy, budgets, politics or dealing with a difficult situation, Thiessen said he often stops typing on his keyboard and looks out the window to watch the students playing in the Marie

“I have the privilege then of being reminded why I do what I do every day,” he said.

Each year the leadership prayer breakfast takes place in Williams Lake with the intention to reaffirm faith in God, uphold leaders in prayer and provide an opportunity for the community to share in spiritual matters.

Community arts council sets up new office The Community Arts Council of Williams Lake (CACWL) has set up a brand new central office, next door to the existing Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society (CCACS) offices in the basement of the Central Cariboo Arts Centre in the old firehall.

The directors and staff of the CCACS said they are excited to welcome the CACWL to the arts centre, and hope that the move will help clarify the roles of both organizations in the community.

It is also hoped the move will allow the two councils to work more smoothly in collaboration to bring a vibrant arts and culture experience to the Central Cariboo.

The public is encouraged to stop in and say hi to CACWL’s administrative assistant Venta Rutkauskas in her new digs. She is there Monday afternoons, between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m.

The CACWL joins the list of arts centre tenants, including the Williams Lake Spinners, Weavers, and Fibre Artists’ Guild, the Cariboo Potters’ Guild, and the Cariboo Art Society.

Community Arts Council of Williams Lake The Community Arts Council of Williams Lake is an arts and culture “producing” orga-

nization that began in 1969. CACWL is a registered non-profit society with charitable status, and a growing membership of arts and culture groups.

Recently I have been in a small group studying “Essential 100.” So as a disclaimer some of my ideas and/or words have been gleaned from this book.

Recently, I’ve met people carrying extremely heavy burdens. They are packing guilt and/or shame for something that has happened in the past. They can’t get passed this road block – their self-worth has been rocked.

Which has brought about this question - Have you ever had guilty feelings? The feeling you get when you have done something or said something that you wish you had never done. What I am saying, is you agonize and/or worry about the wrongdoing, you try and rationalize it from every different angle, but you cannot see any way out without some kind of turmoil.

So what do we do? We often try to relieve our guilt by involving someone else.

Like what Eve did in Genesis 3:8-13; 17-19. She got Adam involved in the wrongdoing (eating from the tree she was instructed not to). Now involving someone else is like spilling toxic waste into a river, the wrongdoing swiftly

think! Folks, sometimes life can make us feel so guilty, so bitter, or so angry, that the only thing that can change our heart is an encounter with God. That’s what happened to Jacob in Genesis 32:22-32 – Jacob was about to meet his brother after cheating him 20 years earlier.

Jacob wrestled with God all night long only to be blessed

by Him. So, if your life is in turmoil, maybe you need to stop doing what you’re doing, and pray that God would help you to see what he’s trying to PARSONS PEN do through these troubles.

BY CAPT. BEN LIPPERS In conclusion, I cannot stop thinking of Psalm 130: spreads.

3, 4 which says “Lord if you But if you’re like me at kept a record of our sins, who about this time of my struggle, O Lord, could ever survive? somebody suggests an option But you offer forgiveness that that is not quite right, but it we might learn to fear you.” would leave me feeling a lot less Friends when we repent of our guilty. Albeit, we occasionally wrong doing, God promises to jump at these solutions forgive us. because it is the best of two So keep in mind, only God evils (e.g. Genesis 37:26-28 – through His Holy Spirit Joseph is sold by his brothers can fix them. That’s why the instead of leaving him in a pit church isn’t a place for perfect to die). BUT – Is it right? people or people who think Now if we are really honest, they’re perfect. NO, it’s a place our tension of trying to where people aren’t afraid to look good after we’ve done admit they’re broken, aren’t something wrong, makes it afraid to talk about it. It’s a hard to admit our true feelings, place where people know they because of what people might can be healed and set free.

Entertainment A R Culture T S Cariboo Gold Dance Band hosting concert Nov. 14 The Cariboo Gold Dance Band is hosting An Evening of Remembrance concert and dance in November 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.

“He is a great musician and a gentleman — and now comes to play with the Cariboo Gold Dance Band,” says Bill Crook, trombone player and one of the original band members of the concert happening Nov. 14 in the Gibraltar Room.

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 war effort.

“The music will follow a Remembrance Day theme and of course, there will be room for dancing,” Crook says.

The Cariboo Gold Dance Band is a classic 16-piece big band playing swing, jazz, Latin, rock, and some country since 1982. Several of the original band members still play in the band.

The band has won competitions and performed at many venues throughout B.C. and has been credited with

being “the most danceable band” in the Cariboo.

Swing music will be a big feature of the evening, a form of music Cariboo Gold has helped to keep alive for the past 35 years.

“Swing music carried our nation through the Great Depression and the two World Wars and the post-war recession, and still holds a special place in the hearts of us all,” Crook says.

He says swing music of the big bands began in the early 1920s, and rose to prominence during the Second World War with such band leaders as Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey, Woody Herman, Glenn Miller, and Benny Goodman who earned the title of King of Swing.

“For those who experienced loss, you’ll remember that there were also feelings of love, of loyalty, of camaraderie,” Crook says. “This music has always shown that there is hope, encouragement and light at the end of

LOCAL BUSINESS

New audiologist welcomes children and families LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Jia Guo is an audiologist with Interior Health who has recently moved to Williams Lake with her family. Enjoying life in the Cariboo with her husband and young daughters, she says that she looks forward to practicing her rewarding career while getting to know her new community.

“We’re really enjoying Williams Lake,” she said. “It’s a friendly, small town with a laid back, relaxed atmosphere. We’ve had picnics at the lake and went to a local farm to pick fresh corn and green beans: the kids loved it.”

She said that audiology is an incredibly rewarding field.

“First, you get to put people’s minds at ease.

And if it turns out there is hearing loss, you present them with options and solutions — parents learn that their child is not restricted by a hearing loss and that their child can have a life like any other child.” She works with children birth to 19 years and adults with special needs, and said she loves working in a family friendly office where people feel welcome and where they come for answers, solutions and support.

Guo has an undergraduate degree in general science from the University of Victoria, and a Masters degree in audiology from the University of British Columbia, and said that working in pediatrics has always been her interests. “I love children, and have two children of my own,” she said.

As an audiologist Guo does assessments, identifies hearing loss, checks different parts of the ears and sees if sound is registering.

“We also provide speech and language • • • • • •

evaluation in our office,” she added.

“If it turns out that there is a hearing loss we talk with the parents about early communication interventions and options, and what can be done. We answer any questions they may have. We like to start an intervention as soon as the family is ready — it’s so crucial for speech and language development.

“I can’t say enough how important early intervention is — babies start speech development right away; as humans we are born with ears ready to hear.” Guo said that children who are born with hearing impairment find it very hard to learn sounds and assign them meaning.

“It can be extremely difficult when they start school — hearing loss can cause all kinds of learning and social problems. Sometimes parents can understand what a child is trying to say, but others won’t,” she said.

Kids can be referred to see her through their parents, a doctor or a community professional, Guo said.

“Sometimes with a child there is a family history of hearing loss, sometimes there are concerns that rise from something like an ear infection that goes on for a while. Sometimes parents notice that the TV is turned really loud, or a child shows a lack of concern when someone speaks to him or her. It may be that what looks like inattention is actual hearing loss,” she explained.

“It can be any number of things that brings a child to see me – my job is to help allay parental concerns and give them peace of mind.”

She said that technology has definitely changed both audiological assessment and interventions, adding that

Welomk!e Bac Jia Guo is the city’s new audiologist. scientific research has contributed greatly to both diagnosis and intervention.

“With new diagnostic equipment we’re able to deliver more precise stimuli for testing, and thanks to the research in electrophysiology we are able to estimate hearing thresholds in infants and detect aspects of hearing nerve abnormalities,” she explained.

“This is wonderful for early detection and early intervention. With technology, amplification devices have come a long way, such as better sound quality, faster processing speed, and bigger memory.”

Guo said healthy hearing gives us com-

munication with others.

“Without it, people feel isolated and locked in the dark. A child without hearing misses music, birds singing, waves and wind in the grass,” she said. “I really think that it’s our job, those of us with normal hearing, to compensate for those who don’t. We can’t judge them and assume they’re being rude just because they don’t respond in the way we think they should. We need to exercise understanding and reach out to them.”

A Week That Was…

a piece of history from The Williams Lake Tribune

Thug Escapes with $1200 Cash from Local Store ~ 1956 A daring armed hold-up and robbery took place last night at Mackenzies store when two employees were held up at gunpoint and forced to open up the store strong room. The gunman escaped with over $1200 in cash.

The thief then ordered him Horace “Ace” Fairman, Mackenzie’s accountant and to go inside and bring out the Jim Munro, bookkeeper, had money. Ace brought out the gone back to the office shortly money box containing the after 7 p.m. to measure up various bags of cash from the floor space for proposed office store’s departments. He was told to put it on a table and get out extensions.

They were leaning on the the bills. When the thief saw the cash counter of the upstairs money was in bags he picked office calculating measurements them up himself but dropped when Ace noticed a shadow one bag. He bent towards it, falling on some boxes through realized Ace was standing too the partition opening into the near him and ordered him to back away. All this time Jim was next office.

He spoke to Jim who virtually ignored and watched immediately leaped over the his change to jump on the counter to see who the prowler man but could never get close might be. Jim had to leap back enough to do it with safety over the counter quickly when against a loaded gun. the prowler stepped forward LEAVES WITH LOOT with what appeared to be a .22 Th e employees were then revolver and a menacing order ordered to march back upstairs telling the men to get to the to the hardware department back of the office.

The employees raised their where the robber asked for a hands but were told to keep paper bag. Ace tried to lead him them to their sides as the to the grocery department but intruder guessed that passersby might notice the upraised hands.

the man said it was too light up there. He settled for a cardboard box into which he placed the cash bags. From their the men were marched to the front door on Mackenzie Avenue, which they were ordered to unlock.

The intruder told them to walk to the back of the store towards the office. The thief stone quietly away while they were thus engaged.

When they turned around to find themselves free to move at last they shot upstairs to the office where Jim vaulted over the cash counter for the third time to phone the police who came down immediately. In the meantime, Ace phoned store manager Doug Stevenson who came hot on the heals of the police.

A thorough investigation revealed that there were no signs of a forced entry, and it would appear that the man possibly hid himself in the store when it closed at 6 p.m. Ace was also impressed by the fact that the intruder seemed to be aware

that he was the accountant and all orders were addressed to him.

The employees had plenty of time to examine the thief and were able to give RCMP a close description of the man which reads as follows: Young looking, slight build, 135 lbs., 5'8", dark, long hair, wearing an Indian sweater with holes in the elbows, brown boots with leather tops and rubber bottoms, blue jeans, a brown hunting cap with the flaps pulled down and a black bandanna masking his face.

RCMP have put out road blocks at Quesnel, Cache Creek and 100 Mile. A check up on the stolen proceeds reveal that over $3000 is missing in checks and approximately $1200 in cash. Unfortunately there is no way of identifying any of the stolen money.

The robbery is being investigated by Corporal W. L. Lambert from the Kamloops Criminal Investigation Branch.

GO TO VAULT He asked where the safe was and was told it was in the basement. He then ordered the men to march in front of him and lead him to the money.

On getting to the strongroom, the thief asked Ace to open up.

Ace told him he did not know the combinations whereon the thief got annoyed and threatened to shoot Ace unless he opened the vault. Ace had already noticed that the revolver was fully cocked so he felt this was no time to argue, particularly as the demanding voice was tinged with a certain 4-H MEMBERS KEN WILSON and Ray Woods return checks to Rotary Club President Haramount of excited nervousness. old Gladish, left and members Isaac Vange, centre and Klare Sather, right.

Stamps, Quesnel tonight After four exhibition games and weeks of skating, drills and exercise Williams Lake Stampeders prepare to open 1969-70 Hockey League season tonight at the Arena against Quesnel.

Among newcomers to Stamps are coach Dick Cusson, Ron Barkwell, Stan Hartwell, and Brian Purdy.

Barkwell will be a welcome addition to the blue-line brigade, while Cusson and Hartwell add more strength to the forward line. Brian Purdy is expected to start in goal tonight.

Stamps met Quesnel in two pre-season games and each club won a game in their own rink. Hard hitting was predominant in both games, with more expected again this evening. Stamps also have a new arrival in Neil Saunders who comes to Williams Lake from Trail.

Back for another campaign are veterans Phil Larden, Peter Lea, Roger Ecklund, Fred Thomas, Derek Beattie, and Martin Schaeffer.

Stamps should be on of the strongest clubs with their additions, while Quesnel has improved also.

Newly-elected Williams Lake Stampede Association president Tim Rolph takes over the reigns of the famous Williams Lake Stampede just in time for its 90th anniversary in 2016. Rolph said he wants to continue to build on the work of past president Fred Thomas.

Tim Rolph named new Stampede president Greg Sabatino Staff Writer It was roughly 40 years ago Tim Rolph watched his first Williams Lake Stampede and he’s been hooked ever since.

This year, he’s taken over the reigns from longtime Williams Lake Stampede Association president Fred

Thomas as the new president of the association.

“It’s an association and an event which is something I strongly believe in, both from a personal standpoint and from the standpoint of a business owner in Williams Lake,” Rolph said.

“The whole town benefits.”

Rolph, who grew up in Ashcroft before moving to Williams Lake, has been involved with rodeo as a competitor and, later, as a judge for most of his life. Growing up living on ranches he’s also no stranger to cowboy culture.

He became a member of the BC Rodeo Associa-

tion board of directors the year it was founded during the late 1980s and, prior to that, had helped out in various capacities with the Williams Lake Stampede.

Seven years ago he joined the WLSA as a member of the board of directors.

“I just want to keep it [the Stampede] growing,”

Rolph said. “It really is a great event and Fred was there for a long time and did an awesome job of it.”

Entering its 90th anniversary year, Rolph said the WLSA isn’t looking to make any hard right turns on how the event is run.

it. We’re proud to be known as a traditional rodeo, still.”

On top of the rodeo, Rolph said the WLSA hopes to add more family-oriented events the community can participate in.

“Being our 90th year, it’s a big milestone for us,” he said.

“We definitely have some things in the works. It’s becoming a heritage event in B.C. for longevity and uniqueness. We’re seeing more and more visitors and spectators from out of town.”

He said last year a family of nine from Wales attended the

Stampede, with more and more European tourists taking in the event every year.

“I think we’ve got a hidden gem here,” he said.

“Between the hospitality of the community and everything that goes on, it’s something to get excited for.”

A Columneetza secondary graduate, Sprickerhoff started running under the guidance of

one of his teachers, Nara Riplinger.

“She coached me and some friends initially but I never really competed because it was always in the middle of soccer season,” Sprickerhoff said.

“It’s really amped up since then. I knew I was a good runner and just tried it out and did pretty

During Sprickerhoff’s first season running at TRU the team was a member of the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association. Last year, the team transferred to Canadian Interuniversity Sport — a step up in competition.

Under new head coach Carmin Mazzotta, Sprickerhoff said he’s been seeing major improvements.

“We’ve really amped up the training since Carmin started with us,” he said. “I’m substantially better than my first year just training harder and with that came [better] times.”

At the BC Cross Country Championships in Nanaimo two weekends ago Sprickerhoff finished 45th overall and 27th overall in the senior men’s category in an adjusted eight-kilometre race in 27 minutes.

“My teammates and I beat all the University of British Columbia Okanagan guys, which was good because we’d lost to them earlier in the sea-

son,” he said.

“The past three weeks it’s all been coming together and I’m looking forward to nationals next weekend.”

A goal Sprickerhoff wants to achieve at nationals is to finish in the top 100 runners.

“It’s something I think is doable for me, and would be a really good result for the team as well,” he said.

“Under 34 minutes would be awesome. I don’t know the course but it should produce some good times.”

CRIME PREVENTION WEEK Crime Prevention is everyone’s Responsibility Everyday across the province, citizens are impacted by the effect of crime in our communities. Awareness is the best protection against crime. Many people may not realize that the simple actions that they can take to make a difference not only their own lives, but the lives of those in their communities. Power to instill change is found in the knowledge that each of us hold, which creates a responsibility to do what we can, in our communities to brig awareness to the issues impacting the sense of safety and well-being.

This year’s theme Shaping the Conversation for Safer Communities empowers communities to facilitate and shape the conversations on issues that affect the safety and well-being of their communities.

It’s time to test your home for radon gas Radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Radon is a naturally occurring gas found in the ground

throughout the world.

Most homes that are in contact with the ground will contain some amount of radon gas. Radon be-

comes more of a concern when it reaches high levels. Radon levels vary across the country. According to Health Canada

about seven per cent of the Canadian homes have radon levels that may be putting residents at risk.

Here in the B.C. Interior

we have some “hot spot” areas with high radon levels in approximately 40 per cent of homes.

Many houses contain

recreation rooms or suites in the basement that are occupied for many hours per day. Being heavier than air, radon accumulates in

low lying areas like basements and can be drawn to higher floors within the building through natural indoor air movement. Radon in combination with tobacco smoke, including second-hand smoke can increase the risk substantially. Health Canada estimates that one in three smokers exposed to high radon levels will develop lung cancer.

Radon gas is colourless, odourless and tasteless, so the only way to know if the radon levels in your home are high is to conduct testing. The best time to test your home for radon gas is now through April. During the cooler months windows and doors are often closed and rising warm air in a home draws more radon from the ground.

Testing a home is easy and inexpensive. Testing involves placing a small puck-like kit within the lowest area of the home that could be occupied for more than four hours per day. The kit should remain in that location for a minimum of three months and then mailed to a laboratory for results.

Just because your neighbours tested their homes and found low results does not mean your home is low too. This is because factors beyond the local geology influence the levels within a building. Essentially, radon takes the path of least resistance, and resistance can vary between homes.

Radon can enter a home through the foundation, including concrete and more so through cracks in a foundation or dirt floor such as older crawl spaces. It can also enter a home through the ventilation system.

The bottom line is that everyone should test their homes for radon to see if this gas (dubbed as the “silent killer”) is lurking.

If elevated radon levels are found, basic measures can be taken to address the problem.

Test kits are available from the BC Lung Association online at www. radonaware.ca or call 1-800-665-LUNG (5864).

More information on radon can be found on the Interior Health website (www.interiorhealth.ca/ RadonGas).
