Diverse views heard at fire consultations Tara SPRICKERHOFF Staff Writer
About sixty people clambered into the Gibraltar Room on Nov. 1, some carrying notebooks, others picking up information packets from several info tables set up around the room. They were there for the Cariboo Regional District’s wildfire community consultation in Williams Lake, during which they would have their chance to share their experiences, make suggestions on what could be done better in a similar emergency
situation and give feedback to not only the CRD, but all of the other organizations involved in this summer’s wildfire response. “It’s something we’ve done after a number of events in order to review the event with the people that were impacted,” said CRD Chair Al Richmond. The consultation was arranged in a group discussion setting, with everyone having the opportunity to give their opinion on a number of topics including evacuations, communication, wildfire fighting, and RCMP.
‘This sort of style which is small group discussions is different than open mic,” said Tim Conrad, a consultant with Butterfly Effect Consultations who ran the meeting. “In an open mic setting less than 20 per cent of people ever get to speak in that situation so this allows everybody to have a say, whether they have a loud voice or a quiet voice and we want them to have that opportunity. Everyone in the room gets a chance to have their opinion be heard and the challenges they
have going forward.” Among the suggestions in the communications section, was that information should be shared in a means other than online, for folks who struggle with the internet, while another suggestion was to make the CRD’s evacuation maps more mobile friendly. Suggestions ranged from having hand outs at evacuation stations on the different fires to installing more cell towers. Others questioned why WilContinued on A5

It wasn’t the ideal weather for their second time out driving, but students of the Thompson River University Williams Lake Campus bus training program didn’t seem to mind. The students, who were dressed warm enough to be able to crawl under a School District 27 bus as part
of pre-trip inspection training Thursday, are in their fourth week of a 10-week program to get their Class 2 Driver’s Licence. And with a half inch of ice on the roads and snow covering the bus, TRU driving instructor Wayne Field of Kamloops admitted he prefers warmer temperatures. “Heat would be nice,” Field said as he led the
students through a safety inspection at the Stampede Grounds before getting out on the road and logging some actual road time. All three students said they are enjoying the course, which covers everything from student behaviour management, MVA laws, log books, resumé writing and pre-trip safety checks. “Safety is always first,
every day,” said student Elliott Dester. Dester said he hopes to get a job driving bus for the mines when he’s finished the program. Student and mom Joanne Willis has a goal of being a school bus driver when she completes the program, while Karen Gelinas said she will also be looking for a driving position with School District 27 when the course wraps up in
December. “I love driving and I like road trips,” Gelinas said of why she’s becoming a bus driver. “So I thought this would be a good, longterm job.” Upon completion, the students will have 16 hours of driving under their belts as well as air brake certification and will be prepared to take their Class 2 Driver’s Licence.

Construction begins on Cariboo Place Paige MUELLER Staff Writer
JUST LISTED!
Ground broke on the construction of a new residential care facility in Williams Lake Friday morning. “It’s a great day for Williams Lake,” said Mayor Walt Cobb. “We’ve been waiting for this for a long, long time.” Cariboo Place will have 70 publicly funded care beds as well as two private pay beds and will replace the old Cariboo Lodge building on Fourth Avenue. Interior Health board member Tammy Tugnum was present at the construction launch and said, “I think it’s really important to see this investment here because I believe people who live here would like to live out their final years here as well and not have to be moved to another area for their final days.” The facility is meant to support seniors and those who are unable to live independently. This includes people living with dementia and other complex health issues. The building will boast a specially equipped room for bariatric patients as well as a snoezelen room which provides multi-sensory therapy proven to calm people with dementia. In March 2017, Interior Health awarded a construction contract for the building to Vantage Living Inc., formerly known as inSite Housing, Hospitality & Health Services Inc. Vantage Living is in its 14th year of business and operates seven residences in B.C. and Alberta. For this project, Vantage will be partnering with Kasper Development Corporation, a company they’ve worked with before to great suc-

Vantage Living president Johann Burger was on hand and spoke about how proud he was to partner with Interior Health on this project to provide competent care and housing for those in Williams Lake and surrounding area. Aside from providing long-term care for the aging community, Burger noted that

the “opening of Cariboo Place will also provide employment opportunities for 61 regular employees as well as a number of casual employees.” Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake is offering classes that will enable interested candidates to be trained in positions specific to the facility and available to start work by the time Cariboo Place opens next winter, according to Burger.
AN APPLE A DAY... When you receive a prescription that’s new to you, the pharmacist and doctor will inform you of any side effects that may occur. Sometimes, just the suggestion of a side effect may influence the brain into thinking you might have that side effect. This is called the nocebo effect where a negative expectation is realized more strongly that it otherwise would. A placebo effect is when a positive benefit is experienced from something that shouldn’t give that effect.

Thousands of chemical reactions are occurring in our bodies continuously. Minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium are often involved in these reactions. Magnesium, for example, is involved in more than 300 chemical processes in our bodies and it’s an important mineral than can help reduce the risk of diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Good food sources include legumes, whole grains, nuts and leafy green vegetables. Magnesium supplements are also available to boost your daily intake. Reading those labels on non-prescription drugs can be a trial sometimes. Besides being in very small print, the language used is often hard for the public to understand. Health Canada will solve the problem (of language anyway) by introducing new regulations requiring clear, plain and understandable language. There will also be a standardized format for how the information is displayed. By June, 2021, these changes should be complete. If you’ve been taking an antidepressant for a while, it’s important to know that you should not stop taking it suddenly. Contact your doctor first so you can taper the dose slowly to avoid adverse effects of sudden withdrawal of the drug.

President Burger also expressed his pleasure at being able to partner “with the local First Nations on our new facility that will be culturally safe for community members.” This will include a sacred space for worship, celebration and prayers from all faiths. The space will be set up for First Nations smudging and smoking ceremonies as well in an effort to be as inclusive as possible.

The charges are in relation to an incident that is alleged to have occurred on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2017 at or near Williams Lake, said Dan McLaughlin, communications counsel with the
BC Prosecution Service. The victim is the same in both accounts, McLaughlin confirmed. William’s matter was first dealt with in Williams Lake Provincial Court on Oct. 20 and he was scheduled for a second appearance on Wednesday, Nov. 1.

liams Lake even had to evacuate. Sonny Allen attended to speak about the road blocks that happened even before the city evacuated. “The thing is, I owned a small business on Mackenzie Avenue and for the month of July we couldn’t get any freight, even though we went to the RCMP and the CRD and said look, the equipment that I’ve got in there needs a radiator because the guy wants to go and fight fire.” He says the response was no. “They were a little heavy handed as far as I am concerned. There was a lack of concern. It didn’t matter what you said, the answer was a standard no.” Wayne Biffert attended to find out about fire-smarting his property, and what he could do to try and lessen the chances of his place burning down.

He also had an issue with road blocks. “Don’t be so paranoid. The people that are going to vandalize are going to vandalize anyhow.” He also spoke to the need to let local ranchers back onto their property to rescue their cattle. Shary Stephen came for an entirely different reason. “I didn’t have a lot of trouble with the way things unfolded and I just wanted to be able to give my support because I know there has been criticism, so I’m just here to support the positive.” It’s that diversity of opinion that Conrad hopes to hear. “It is so important to hear [from] the community and how things went for them, because for all of those people that are in the operations side, whatever role that they were in and the multiple agencies that were involved here, they are just going out every day and doing their job

and doing the best that they can. “This is an opportunity to learn if we indeed did those things right and got things right and evidently you will always find out that no, things didn’t go perfect because they don’t go perfect. There are things we can work on to be better in the future so that’s what we really want to do. By listening we can improve.” Consultations will be coming up on Nov. 4 in Quesnel and at the West Fraser Fire Hall, on Nov. 5 at 150 Mile House and Nov. 6 at the Miocene Community Hall. For more information on the rest of the consultations and where they will be held check out the CRD’s Emergency Operations Centre Facebook page. Later in November, there will also be a survey that residents can fill out, and Butterfly Effects Consulting will be holding a Facebook Live to reach residents in another way. “We want you to be heard,” says Conrad.

This is not Sprickerhoff’s first time with the Tribune.

Buy that membership With several clubs and societies, including the Williams Lake Powder Kings Snowmobile Club, Williams Lake Cross-Country Ski Club and the Seniors Activity Centre running membership drives in the month of November, it is important to remember just how vital buying a membership can be to a community. Membership fees greatly relieve the financial burden some of these clubs face in upkeep and maintenance of trails and facilities. Clubs work tirelessly to make sure people with different interests from all over the Williams Lake area are able to safely enjoy a variety of activities and buying a membership helps to make that happen. Aside from the fi-
nancial help, the old adage that many hands make light work is particularly poignant in these cases. Without members, many of these clubs would cease to exist. They rely on the helping hands of the community to keep things in motion and it’s to everyone’s benefit that they do. So, when you’re toying over whether that membership fee is really worth it, keep in mind all the wonderful things your club does for you and for the community. If you enjoy the use of “free” facilities anywhere around town, consider giving back, helping out, and purchasing a yearly membership. - The Williams Lake Tribune
Tasty treats for watching sports on the tube A little while ago I wrote about the splendors of the fall season. One of the things I omitted was sports.

That’s nine great hours of being a sports couch potato. I don’t watch a lot of TV except for news and sports, and that mainly is for Canadian football.

Maranatha students thankful for food fun Nikki DELAY Special to the Tribune
On Thursday, Oct. 26, students in the Grade 6/7 class at Maranatha Christian School were surprised with a special treat when their teacher arranged a tour of the Fennel Cup food truck based out of Williams Lake. Mrs. Delay’s class has been working on a unique project-based learning unit the past few weeks where they have been designing and creating a food truck. “It’s a great project,” Mrs. Delay exclaimed. “My students have been creating a food truck from the ground up, making logos and catchphrases and menus. “They have been ordering from each others’ food trucks too. Then they have to add up the orders and find the tax and

Falls are serious but they can be prevented Kelly WILSON Special to the Tribune
Falls happen every day, across all age groups. For children and youth, it might be a fall off playground equipment or a bicycle. For adults, it might be a fall off a ladder or slipping on the floor at work. For older adults, most falls occur in the home. Falls can have devastating effects: They are the number one cause of injury-related deaths, hospital stays, visits to the emergency room and the most common
cause of permanent disability for children, adults, and seniors. Falls are the leading cause of injury‐related deaths and hospitalizations for B.C. seniors. In fact, within B.C. an average of 557 seniors die each year from falls. For youth, falls are second only to car and bike crashes. On average in B.C., 13,397 seniors (aged 65 and older) are hospitalized each year — that’s 37 hospitalizations a day. Women over 65 are the highest risk group,
with almost double the rates of deaths, hospital stays, visits to the emergency room and permanent partial disability than older men. The good news is there are many things that can be done to prevent falls. The number one reason why seniors fall is because their muscles become weak due to inactivity. While you should always consult your doctor before beginning an exercise program, the best advice for all ages is to get active, and include strength and balance
training in your routines. For example Tai Chi has been shown to be effective at preventing falls in seniors. Many community recreation centres now offer strength and balance classes designed for older participants or those with health issues. Taking more than five medications also increases the risk of falling, as many medications have dizziness or drowsiness as a side effect. Sleeping pills should be avoided, if possible. It is import-
ant to tell your doctor or pharmacist about all the medications you take and to make sure you take your medications as directed. If you think your medications are making you dizzy and might cause you to fall, be sure to tell your doctor or pharmacist right away. Don’t stop taking your medication without speaking with your doctor first. Be especially careful when you are starting a new medication as the side effects may be worse at the beginning.
Other tips to prevent falls: Reduce clutter inside your home, especially on the floors. Make sure all outdoor pathways and stairs are well lit and free of ice, snow and leaves. Avoid using ladders or step stools. Move things down to where you can reach them and/or ask a neighbour, family member or friend for assistance. Use handrails and remove your reading glasses when going up and down stairs. Wear comfortable
low-heeled shoes that provide good support. Eat healthy foods and drink lots of water – poor nutrition and dehydration can cause dizziness. Avoid rushing and “multi-tasking.” Be more mindful of where you put your feet and stay alert to your surroundings when you are walking, especially on stairs. Have your vision checked each year. Wear your glasses and hearing aids. Consider using a walker or cane to help with getting around.
Does anyone else have concerns about BC Hydro? Editor: Electricity is essential and directly affects all consumers of this product in British Columbia regardless of your position in the electrical consumption system. No one is immune. I am not writing in isolation about BC Hydro. My hope is to contribute and reach the wider populace
that are not too complacent to get involved. Together we can achieve something better than what we have. BC Hydro with its historic administrative policies and the associated legislation passed by various governments and supporting institutions and or input from large international lobby groups, I believe
has not been operating in our best interests. From my personal point of view and from others I have discovered there are immense problems that need to be reviewed and solved immediately. Thus I do not have the space here to elaborate at length but if you do your own research and start to really think and talk with
each other, I am confident you will have your own questions, discover inconsistencies and problems that exist. Now for example, just one issue among many is the SMART METER! In this particular case a meter reader travels from Williams Lake every two months to our community in Quesnel to read some
smart meters for free. However, that same meter reader reads an analog meter in the same neighbourhood and other locations at the same time for a charge of $32.40 plus taxes per month. This has been documented and existed in our area since 2013. BC Hydro, the government, local repre-
sentation and their institutions conveniently avoid this issue and all the other issues that exist to this day. It is a fact, therefore I have been proactive, and I have witnessed and questioned this action. For my concern as a customer I have been ignored and penalized. I have been without electricity in the 21st
century, in a modern community since the fall of 2014. BC Hydro’s action which you can quickly ascertain has serious personal ramifications. I invite dialogue from anyone and everyone, for similar events must be occurring in your community as well. D. Stromquist Quesenl

Removing barriers is the main focus of the Aboriginal-owned and operated Four Wi n d s D r iv i n g School that now has a permanent home in Williams Lake. “My background is in life skills and social work,” owner Kerry Chelsea said during the school’s grand opening. “I’ve run into a lot of community members with learning disabilities, whether it be higher functioning Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) or reading comprehension. I’m not a therapist, but I’ve been able to identify some of their learning disabilities and work with those individuals one-onone.” There are many success stories of high-functioning FASD students obtaining their Class Five driver’s licence, Chelsea said. “It’s been fantastic. Being able to do that has probably been the most rewarding for me.” The school is located at 77B Second Ave North. It boasts a classroom and will soon have a state-of-the

Shea and Kerry Chelsea (right) officially opened a Williams Lake location for their Four Winds Driving School Friday with an open house and tour. art driving simulator on site. Chelsea is a band councillor in his home community of Esket and said he pursued becoming a driving instructor after realizing that many community members did not have a driver’s licence. “At first Esket hired an instructor out of Prince George, but we only had one successful learner’s permit out of 15 people that had gone through the program,” he recalled. “The cost was about $14,000 and as a band we couldn’t afford that.” About two and a half years ago, Chelsea approached Chief Charlene Belleau suggesting someone be
trained as a driving instructor to teach in the community. “Chief Charlene smiled and said, ‘you’re going to Victoria to get your instructor licence,’ so that’s how it started,” Chelsea said. After completing the instructor’s course in Kelowna, he went to Vancouver to obtain his graduated licensing program training and then registered the driving school officially with ICBC. Initially Chelsea used an old Esketemc band vehicle, in which he installed an instructor brake and mirrors, and worked on a volunteer basis teaching drivers in the community.
When other First Nations bands started hearing about the program, they called Chelsea to come and instruct some of their community members as well. Eventually he became so busy trying to balance his daytime jobs with the driving instruction on the side, that Shea reeled him in and said he needed to apply for a business license. “We went ahead and applied for a First Nations federal business grant and once that came back approved — after four or five tries — we picked this location and decided to move forward with it,” Chelsea said.

barriers for First Nations people is access so Four Winds goes into the communities to teach the learner’s program. “That way a lot of the membership doesn’t have to travel,” Chelsea said. “To come from Ulkatcho to Williams Lake is a four-hour drive. We bring everything and there’s no excuse for people not to attend because the program is so close to where they live.” Money can also be a barrier so the school provides the cost of the learner’s program, he added. As one, if not the only, 100 per cent Aboriginal fully-owned and operated driving schools in B.C, and one of only a few Aboriginal-owned businesses in Williams Lake it’s exciting, Chelsea said. “I didn’t really think about that until a friend brought that up to me today at our open house.”

Dance away during Swing Night at the Limelight Murray HOFFMAN Special to the Tribune
Saturday Nov. 18 is going to be an incredible evening for Big Band enthusiasts. The Cariboo Gold Dance Band will be playing its third annual fall performance “Swing Night at the Limelight” Theatre. This year’s show is going to be even more amazing than before, as the band will be featuring a very special guest, Mr. Tom Keenlyside. Keenlyside is a JUNO Award-winning saxophonist and jazz flute player based in Vancouver. He has played alongside some of the jazz world’s most famous musical artists. For this year’s performance at the Limelight Theatre, Mr. Keenlyside will be the featured soloist backed by Williams Lake’s own Cariboo Gold Dance Band. “We are so fortunate to have this talented musician coming to our community to perform. His schedule as an “A” list saxophonist and flute player on the west coast is always full but he has made time to travel to Williams Lake and perform with the dance band,” explains bassist Bill Hyde. Though his main focus of late is jazz and fusion, Tom has worked with a wide variety of popular groups including Aerosmith, David Lee Roth, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, INXS and many others. Keenlyside currently composes and produces music commercially and for personal enjoyment. He writes and produces radio and TV ads and has

Tom’s bio really says it all — he is such a talent and
has so much passion when he plays – it’s no wonder there is such a demand for his time as a musician.” As a freelance player, Keenlyside has worked on several TV variety shows, playing saxophone with popular acts such as Tom Jones, Chaka Khan, Boz Skaggs, Paul Anka, Kenny Rogers, Teddy Pendergrass, Peggy Lee, Dizzy Gillespie, Jack Jones, Mel Torme, Andy Williams, and

Two men were walking through a field one day when they spotted an enraged bull coming right at them. Instantly they ran toward the nearest fence. The storming bull followed in hot pursuit and it was soon apparent they wouldn’t make it. “Put up a prayer” Frank said to Lloyd. “I can’t. I have never prayed in public in my life.” Lloyd replied. “But you must or we will die,” said Frank. So Lloyd prayed the prayer he heard his father pray once at the table—“For what we are about to receive, make us truly thankful!” Some of the hardest math to master is that which enables us to count our blessings. We have just come through the season of thanksgiving and I was thinking about how different the experience was for each of us this year. Which one of us could have predicted the events of this past summer. It began with a very wet April, May, and part of June and then the rain suddenly stopped and the temperatures began to rise. The forest fire risk increased almost daily and on July 7th a weather system came through with dry lightning igniting a number of fires in our region and beyond. When the Alert went to an Order to leave on July 15th we all entered experiences that were brand new to every one of us. I am so thankful when I think back to the incredible response we had to this crisis. The first responders (RCMP, Fire Fighters) as well as the Canadian Armed Forces worked so hard in fighting the fires and guarding our homes. Through this experience many of us met so many people in our community that we would not normally have met. The volunteer response to this crisis was absolutely amazing and it was so good to see an orderly return to our city of thousands of people. Red Cross, United Way, Salvation Army and many others did
PARSONS PEN
BY JOHN NICHOLSON a fabulous job of making sure people’s needs were met. Samaritans Purse sent chaplains and volunteers to our city to offer help to those who had lost their homes. These efforts were so appreciated and we say a very warm Thank You! Charles Dickens once said,“Instead of having one Thanksgiving Day each year we should have 364 days of Thanksgiving. Use that one day for complaining and griping and use the other 364 days to thank God for the many blessings He has showered upon you.” I think Charles Dickens was right on. So why should we be grateful? I want to suggest 3 reasons. #1 Being Grateful Makes You Happier and Healthier One song that says it well is “Count Your Blessings.” Did you know that when we do that we actually improve our health? Researchers had a group of students write for 20 minutes each day about things they were grateful for, a second about things they were angry about, and a third about mundane topics like what colour to
paint the fence. Guess what group was happiest at the end of the experiment? The ones who wrote about things they were grateful for. #2 Being Grateful Causes You to See More Blessings The more we see things around us the more they can actually become invisible to us. We often take for granted the incredible beauty of our world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds and even those we love. We have to consciously stop and take a long look at this incredible world God has created and thank Him that it is all for our enjoyment and benefit. All we see and enjoy are gifts from God to us who delights to embrace us with His love. #3 Being Ungrateful Brings Sad Consequences We read in Numbers 11:1 “when the people complained, the Lord heard it and it displeased Him.” To complain to God is to insult Him because He has poured out so many blessings our way. He has super abundantly provided for us and we need to make time to personally count our blessings. I would like to leave you with a little challenge that will be very good for you. Take a pen and write down the following. 10 People in your life whom you are grateful for. 10 Physical abilities that you are grateful for. 10 Places on earth you are grateful for. 10 Things in the physical world that you are grateful for. 10 Modern day inventions you are thankful for. 10 Foods you are grateful for. 10 Blessings that you are thankful to God for. Do this and you will have little or no time to live under the shadow of ingratitude.

A few less people in Williams Lake will go hungry this winter thanks to efforts by the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society. The Greening Project is a three-year-old-endeavour that sees the society partnering with local farms at the end of the harvest season to collect fruits and veggies they could not sell or that were leftover. “Our mandate is to reduce food waste,” said co-ordinator and sustainable life educator Vanessa Moberg. “Whatever is leftover, we’ll take it.” And by using vegetables that haven’t made it to the shelves, they are doing just that. For the third year they partnered with Earl Wilson at Silver Birch Farm in Soda Creek to collect a few rows of untouched potatoes. Eight people and one child armed with hoes and picks took to the fields on Oct. 20 to hand-pick approximately 4,000 pounds of potatoes. Wilson went through first with a tine plow to turn the rows over and eager members of the conservation society went through to harvest and haul the spuds to a trailer for transportation to the Potato House. “Just to get out of the office for a day and get my hands in the dirt, it was a really cathartic experience for me personally,” noted Moberg. She adds that it was a really great day to get some fresh air. And last week at the Potato House, other members of the society could be seen enjoying the fresh air as well. Chief green officer Oliver Berger and president of the society Bill Lloyd spent a day on the front lawn of the Potato House prepping the potatoes for the cellar. They sorted and dried them before boxing them up and loading them down into the basement. A couple of years ago, the conservation society decided they would rent out a space in the Potato
House and built a community root cellar. And it is certainly a community endeavour in more than one sense. According to Moberg, the cellar was constructed using 100 per cent donated materials and volunteer labour. The cellar houses the society’s yearly produce haul. Although this year they harvested only from Silver Birch Farm, in the past they’ve partnered with Ross McCoubrey from Rose Lake and Brianna van de Wijngaard of Puddle Produce. In their first year, they collected carrots, beets, potatoes, and squash. In the second year, carrots and potatoes. This year, potatoes. Moberg noted that the whole point of the project is to take whatever leftovers people are willing to give and they are always looking for more volunteers for next year. Once the food is in the cellar, what happens next? The cellar proves its true community roots once again as organizations from around Williams Lake can call the society and come to pick up some produce for their members. Barbara Jones is the program co-ordinator at the Pregnancy Outreach Program in the lakecity, an organization that has benefitted from the Greening Project in the past.

“For the families that use our program, we also have a food bank of non-perishable items that are all donated from the community so when we go to the Potato House and get carrots and potatoes, we’re able to get fresh vegetables to add to our non-perishables to give out to the families, which is really nice,” Jones said. Being able to add some fresh produce to canned and boxed goods is no doubt a welcome and nutritious addition for families who make use of the food bank. Jones added that their program receives generous donations from different groups from all over the city and that the outreach program makes sure their members know that some of their food is donated by the local community. Sometimes, they’ll even also show interested members different ways to creatively cook the fresh donations. Jones used the example of getting a large donation of apples and having a class on making apple crisp, just to give people new and creative ideas for the kitchen. Community ventures like the Greening Project are bringing real and visible benefits to families in need in Williams lake and according to Moberg, “it’s a win, win because we’re reducing food waste but also helping people who can’t afford fresh produce.”

This Halloween saw trick-or-treaters drawn away from residential areas into the downtown core from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon for the second annual Downtown Trick R’ Treat event. The streets were flooded with every costume under the sun as children and adults alike lugged overflowing bags of candy from business to business, collecting stamps on their passports along the way. Pumpkins and clowns, wizards and witches and every costume in between were able to submit their completed passports for a chance to win a prize at the end of the night. But the Halloween festivities started much earlier for students at Marie Sharpe Elementary School. With a spooky dance in the gym and an even more frightening haunted house set up on the stage, spirits and blood sugar levels were running high well before school let out. While some students screamed their way through the haunted house, others were eager to jump out and frighten their classmates. From gooey brains to frightening zombies, the makeshift haunted house had it all. In the final room of the haunted house, visitors were greeted with a flying skeleton named Jimmy expertly maneuvered into place and invited to handle a selection of “brains” by student Willamena Honeyman before hustling back to the dance. People of all ages celebrated the holiday with fireworks and Halloween parties also happening throughout Williams Lake and surrounding area Tuesday night. The day was truly full of frighteningly fantastic fun for everyone.

To all my valued patients, friends and families It is with great sadness that I announce I will no longer be providing full time dentistry as of December 29, 2017. I will however continue to visit Williams Lake on a monthly basis providing sleep dentistry only.
My family is so humbled by the kindness Williams Lake has shown and I can only hope for the same in my new area. I thank you again for the kindness and support you have shown me over the years. I know that in my absence my patients will continue to receive excellent care here at the Cariboo Dental Clinic.

MP Doherty receives 2017 Ontario Pyschological Assoc. public service award Monica LAMB-YORSKI Staff Writer
Cariboo-Prince George Member of Parliament Todd Doherty received the Ontario Psychological Association (OPA) 2017 Public Service Award Thursday, Nov. 2. The OPA Award recognizes the work done by public officials to help the most vulnerable amongst – those individuals and their family members who suffer from behavioural and developmental problems including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), chronic occupational stress and addictions. “I am truly honoured and humbled in receiving this award. Although, I struggle with accepting an award when we have so many that are still suffering in

TSB tackles substance abuse The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) is recommending that Transport Canada work with the aviation industry and employee representatives to develop and implement requirements for a comprehensive substance abuse program. The details are in the investigation report (A15P0081) released Thursday into the fatal 2015 in-flight breakup of a cargo aircraft operated by Carson Air Ltd. On 13 April 2015, the Carson Air Swearingen SA-226-TC Metro II was carrying freight from Vancouver International Airport to Prince George Airport, British Columbia, with a crew of two pilots on board. About six minutes after departure, the aircraft disappeared from radar. Its last known position was approximately 15 nautical miles
north of the airport at an altitude of about 7500 feet. Ground searchers found aircraft wreckage on steep, mountainous, snow-covered terrain later in the day. The aircraft had experienced a catastrophic in-flight breakup. Both the captain and first officer were fatally injured, and the aircraft was destroyed. The investigation determined that the aircraft entered a steep dive, then accelerated to a high speed which exceeded the aircraft’s structural limits and led to an in-flight breakup. Subsequent toxicology testing indicated that the captain had consumed a significant amount of alcohol on the day of the occurrence. As a result, alcohol intoxication almost certainly played a role in the events leading up to the accident.
me to ensure those who are suffering know it is okay to say, ‘I am not well’, it is okay to ask for help and that the help they seek will be there in their time of
need.” OPA chief executive officer Janet Kasperski praised Doherty in a letter, writing “you are truly a political superstar whose innate
sense of caring for others shines through in all that you do.” Doherty’s Private Members Bill, C-211, calls on the federal government to develop a national strategy for PTSD. It currently sits at second reading in the Senate. “This is needed from coast to coast,” Doherty has said in previous interviews about a PTSD national strategy. “We are looking to develop some constant care or diagnosis for those who put their uniforms on every day to serve the communities and our country — the front line workers that really need help.” The enactment of the bill, Doherty said, would require the Minister of Health to convene a conference with the Minister of National
Defence, the Minister of Veterans Affairs, provincial and territorial government representatives responsible for health and representatives of the medical community and patients’ groups for the purpose of developing a comprehensive federal framework to address the challenges
of recognizing the symptoms and providing timely diagnosis and treatment of PTSD. Doherty continues to serve the Conservative Party as its shadow minister for Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard and as critic for the Asia-Pacific Gateway file.

TIPS FROM THE CRD
FIREWORKS SAFETY Proceed with Caution!
• Leave fireworks to the professionals. Do not use consumer fireworks. • The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public display conducted by trained professionals. • After the firework display, children should never pick up fireworks that may be left over, they may still be active. How HOT does a sparkler burn? Sparklers 1200 °F Glass melts at 900 °F Wood burns at 575 °F Cakes bake at 350 °F Water boils at 212 °F Consumer fireworks include sparklers and firecrackers. The tip of a sparkler burns at a temperature of more than 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot enough to cause third-degree burns. FACTS • Each Halloween, thousands of people, most often children and teens, are injured while using consumer fireworks. • The risk of fireworks injury is more than twice as high for children ages 10–14 as for the general population. www.nfpa.org/education Sponsored by

The toughest girls in Williams Lake Paige MUELLER Staff Writer
The young gymnasts of the Cariboo-Chilcotin Junior Olympic Program are no doubt some of the toughest girls in town. As nine of the 18 gymnasts in the competitive program ran, vaulted and launched themselves across the gym at training on Monday night, the girls joked about whether one of the gymnast’s blood was still ingrained into the bars. Upon inspection, they declared it was. There’s no doubt that competitive gymnastics is a difficult and demanding sport but according to some of the girls, that’s exactly why they like it. “I started gymnastics when I was around one and I like that it gives me a challenge because as it moves up levels you have to achieve skills and I like the competitions,” said Shaelynn Dyck, age 12. The girls in attendance Monday night are in levels two, three and four of the competitive program meaning they practice for four hours, three times a week. That is twelve hours of gym time and training for the girls aged 10 to 13, who train in beam, bars, vault and floor routines. The younger girls in the JOP, some of them only five-years-old train for eight hours a week in the same categories. Office manager Trudy Rick noted that if parents want their children to learn, “that’s how many hours on minimum they need to do it and the coaches are finding it’s just phenomenal what they are doing with more hours.” Competitive coach Raeanna Brown backed that statement up, noting after six years of coaching it’s still one of the most fulfilling jobs she’s ever had. “Getting to see these kids do their skills with big smiles on their faces, it’s nice to see them move on in life, see them succeed in everything they do.” In order to snag a spot in the competitive program the gymnasts do a tryout in June. Before they’re asked to commit themselves to
Ella McDonald rests for a second before swinging over the bar at Monday night’s training session. the intensive training schedule there is a weeklong camp in August to give them an idea of what competitive gymnastics is all about. By September, they decide whether they want to join the program or not. Rick adds for some gymnasts that means giving up other sports. She tells the story of one young athlete who was already a part of a swim club when she began the program. Since so much time in the water softens the skin, which needs to be tough and callused to swing around the bars and launch off the vault, the athlete had to decide. Rick said she chose gymnastics. But swimming may be an exception to the rule when it comes to competing in other sports alongside gymnastics. In almost every other case, being a gymnast is incredibly helpful in other sports. According to a study conducted for USA Gymnastics by the Department of Exercise and Sport Science at the University of Utah, gymnasts are among the most flexible athletes,
have the best balance, learn to fall without injuring themselves, and are pound for pound the strongest athletes out there. All of these are huge benefits to other sports. As coach Annie Glanville noted, the girls like gymnastics because “it keeps you active, it keep you flexible and in shape and it helps you in other sports.” She also noted as a parent of a gymnast, she loves that it allows the little ones a chance to burn off all their energy. And energy you must have in abundance if you want to be a competitive gymnast. On top of the eight or twelve hour a week training schedule, the Cariboo-Chilcotin JOP gymnasts also attend five meets a year. The first will be in Prince George in January and meets in Quesnel, Abbotsford, again to Prince George, and Kelowna take place from February to June. And travelling to these events isn’t cheap. On top of needing matching tracksuits which cost around $120, the gymnasts need competition suits which usually cost around $100. So how do these incredibly driven and hard working girls pull it all off ? With fundraisers throughout the season to help offset clothing and travel costs. Two weeks ago, six dedicated girls were able to raise $1,205 with a bottle drive. They’re hoping to build on that success with a Dairy Queen fundraiser on Nov. 16. According to Rick, parents and gymnasts will be on site from 4 to 8 p.m. encouraging people to make purchases at the local Dairy Queen. A portion from every sale will go towards the competitive team and their various costs. Despite all the hard work it takes, every gymnast in the room on Monday night had huge smiles on their faces and a bounce in their step. When questioned about why they liked gymnastics, they gushed forward with answers like “you get to show off your personality,” “I’m good at it and it’s really fun,” and “you can meet great people in gymnastics.” There’s no doubt these dedicated athletes are going far in life with the skills and lessons they learn in that gym.
This weekend the Powder Kings will host their third annual Snow Show, Shine & Swap at the Stampede Grounds from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., with demonstrations and talks from Search and Rescue, Conservation Officers, and X Games gold medalist Brock Hoyer. The day will be full of educational opportunities and chances to win prizes and ogle some gear. There will be a BBQ, as well as a beer garden and displays from local dealerships.

Snowmobile club revs up for winter season Paige MUELLER Staff Writer
It’s time to get revved up for snowmobile season with the Powder King’s third annual Snow Show, Shine & Swap this weekend. This year, the event added an extra “S”
to their name with the chance for people to bring down used equipment to swap with other snowmobilers in the community. “People can bring in their apparel or equipment or machines and sell them at our show
and shine,” said Powder Kings PR director Laurie Snowball. Not just a chance to buy and sell new and used gear, the show is also a membership drive. “People need to be aware of how import-
ant it is to be a part of your local snowmobile club,” Snowball said. “That’s why we, at the beginning of the year put on this event to make people aware of an active, non-profit snowmobile club that is working hard with

the BC Snowmobile Federation… keeping trails and areas open for all snowmobilers in B.C.” At last year’s event, 80 people signed up for a membership and this year, Snowball is hoping to see at least 100 to 150 people out at the show. The show itself promises to be fun for the whole family with a local minor hockey team serving up hot dogs and hamburgers, a reverse auction for an exciting prize, displays by three local snowmobile dealers and an appearance by “local hero” Brock Hoyer. Hoyer won a gold medal in the 2017 X Games riding Snow BikeCross, a new sport that sees a motocross bike’s wheels replaced by a ski and track sys-
tem, making it winter riding compatible. Hoyer will be at the event giving autographs and talking to people young and old in search of a winter sport education. Those looking for just such an education will be pleased to see conservation officers on hand to answer questions and remind people how to stay in compliance with the rules on winter trails. Another chance to learn will be from Central Cariboo Search and Rescue. “Whether it’s summer or winter, Search and Rescue is a big part of our lives,” notes Snowball. “We as a snowmobile club support the Central Cariboo Search and Rescue when there are winter time rescues. We work hand
and hand with them to help in these difficult situations.” Since there is a degree of risk with any outdoor sport, making people aware of how to stay safe and still have fun is an important aspect of snowmobiling. Although they haven’t charged admission to the event in the past, this year the club is asking for a non-perishable food donation for the local food bank. According to Snowball, after what happened with the fires in the summer, they just want to be able to give back to the community a bit. The event will take place on Nov. 4 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Stampede Grounds and all are welcome to join the fun.

Goals from Paige Outhouse, Pyper Alexander and Faith Myers went unanswered and the team walked away with a 3-0 win. Sunday morning saw a tighter matchup but the T-Wolves still dominated much of the game. Sarah Vermeulen and Bronwyn Pocock notched goals for the team. Rachel Cross was the team’s netminder. Head coach Roy Call said overall he was happy with the team’s results. “We completely dominated both games. We killed it,” Call said, noting the T-Wolves were in the offensive end for most of both games carving out several opportunities. “We just couldn’t score, but that’s how it goes.” Call said he is pleased with the im-

Court dismisses Ktunaxa Jumbo resort appeal TREVOR CRAWLEY Black Press
The Supreme Court of Canada has dismissed an appeal by the Ktunaxa Nation who were arguing that their religious rights were infringed when the B.C. government approved a development plan for a ski resort on a glacier west of Invermere. The Ktunaxa, who previously took their case to the BC Supreme Court and the BC Appeals Court, argued they were not adequately consulted by the B.C. government when it approved a development plan for a ski resort the Jumbo Glacier Valley.
All nine justices agreed that the provincial government had adequately consulted the Ktunaxa, however, two justices also noted that religious Indigenous would be infringed by the construction of a ski resort in spiritually sensitive land. The area around the proposed ski resort, known as Qat’muk, carries significant religious meaning as it is home to the Grizzly Bear spirit, which is a source of spiritual strength for the Ktunaxa. “While the goal of the process is reconciliation of the Aboriginal and state interest, in some cases this may not be
possible. The process is one of ‘give and take’, and outcomes are not guaranteed,” wrote Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin and Justice Malcolm Rowe, in joint reasons on behalf of seven justices. While all nine justices concluded that the B.C. government adequately consulted with the Ktunaxa during the resort development planning process, Justice Michael Moldaver and Suzanne Côté argued that their religious rights under Section 2 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms would be infringed. “The development of the ski resort would desecrate Qat’muk and

cause Grizzly Bear Spirit to leave, thus severing the Ktunaxa’s connection to the land,” wrote Moldaver. “As a result, the Ktunaxa would no longer receive spiritual guidance and assistance from Grizzly Bear Spirit. All songs, rituals, and ceremonies associated with Grizzly Bear Spirit would become meaningless.” However, both Justices Moldaver and Côté agreed with the rest of the Supreme Court bench that the BC government, specifically Minister Steve Thomson of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources at the time, appropriately balanced the Ktunaxa religious rights with the government’s obligation to administer Crown land. “The Minister was faced with two options: approve the development of the ski resort or grant the Ktunaxa a right to exclude others from constructing permanent structures on over fifty square kilometres of Crown land,” wrote Moldaver and Côté. “This placed the Minister in a difficult, if not impossible, position. If he granted this right of exclusion to the Ktunaxa, this would significantly hamper, if not prevent him, from fulfilling his statutory
The Supreme Court of Canada has dismissed an appeal by the Ktunaxa Nation. objectives. In the end, it is apparent that he determined that the fulfillment of his statutory mandate prevented him from giving the Ktunaxa the veto right that they were seeking.” Wildsight, an organization dedicated to wildlife and biodiversity conservation efforts in the Kootenay region, said it was disappointed by the Supreme Court ruling. The organization says it stands with the Ktunaxa Nation in their continued fight to protect spiritually-sensitive territory from development in the Jumbo region, pointing to public support for keeping the area untouched. “The strong local support has not waned; there’s huge public sup-
port to keep Jumbo wild,” said Robyn Duncan, the executive director of Wildsight. “The BC NDP and BC Green Party have taken strong public stances against the Jumbo Glacier Resort in the past. “The Federal government continues to speak about their commitment to reconciliation with First Nations and the Canada Target 1 initiative, that’s looking at protecting 17 per cent of Canada’s landscape by the year 2020, I think we’re seeing all of these pieces coming into place and we have a real opportunity to take a step forward and support the Ktunaxa in their call to establish an Indigenous protected area in the Jumbo Valley. While the Jumbo area
is known as the home of the grizzly bear spirit to the Ktunaxa, it is a crucial habitat for wildlife such as the grizzly bear, wolverines and other animals that can be found in the Purcell Mountains. The Supreme Court ruling does not mean the resort will be built. The proposed development is currently stalled, after an Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) expired in 2015 because not enough work had been completed at the site. Without the EAC, the proponents — Glacier Resorts Ltd — cannot do any construction as detailed in their Master Development Plan that was approved by the province in 2012.

LETHAL DRUGS ARE out there
Find out how you can save a life. Every day, people are losing their lives to overdoses in BC. These deaths are preventable. Many illegal drugs, including party drugs, have been found to contain deadly fentanyl. And even more toxic carfentanil is now being detected in BC. Not using drugs is the best defence — using alone is the greatest risk. If you use drugs or know someone who does, help is available.
