The Central Cariboo Arts Centre is a busy place on Saturday mornings. Recently there was a tapestry weaving workshop taking place with instructor Marg Evans, potters working and learning new techniques from each other, and an artist’s group participating in a framing workshop. Here Cariboo Potters Guild member Joan Beck describes how to make wheel-thrown plates to learners Kim Kaytor and Tyanna Dixon, before demonstrating the art. The potters are among local groups to receive grants under the new Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Function of the Cariboo Regional District. For more on those grants and what they are for turn to page A22.

The Sam Ketcham Pool is scheduled to re-open on Friday at 5:30 p.m. A liquid chlorine injection system is now in place to disinfect the pool water, and approvals have been given from regulating authorities. Facility maintenance staff will be trained on the system this week and lifeguards will participate in some training as well. All chlorine gas has been removed from the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Work on a long-term solution for the pool continues. A mechanical engineering firm is working on an analysis of systems and will provide a report outlining options, costs, and a recommendation on which option to use. This report is not expected before April. Costs for the new system have yet to be finalized. Registration is available for Tuesday and Thursday swim lessons.

Bruce MacLeod gets ready for Hansen celebration Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake’s final medal bearer for the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Tour is getting ready for the big day. Speaking from his home in Horsefly, Bruce MacLeod says the first time he saw Hansen was when he was letting the world know that he was planning to wheelchair around the world. “He was in Mike Harcourt’s office when Mike was the mayor of Vancouver and he was announcing his goal to the world,” MacLeod recalls. Hansen had a huge gold fish

bowl in his lap and Harcourt put some cash in the bowl. “Rick was announcing his goal and it was outrageous. I remember thinking for a man to do something like that and put it all on the line before he’s even done it is huge,” MacLeod says. Throughout the 25th anniversary tour, MacLeod has watched some of the footage on the Internet and continues to be impressed. “I watched the relay as it arrived in Calgary. See CELEBRATION Page A3

Celebration starts at 4 p.m. Sunday Continued From Page A1 “They’ve sure been out there in the cold weather,” he adds. Voicing his admiration for Hansen, MacLeod says he did something no one else is ever going to do. “Try and do that today, with security and all, it wouldn’t work,” MacLeod says of the original Man in Motion World Tour. MacLeod says he is putting the final touches on his three-minute speech, and he’s a bit nervous because giving speeches is not something he does much of these days.

“I’m usually the guy in the back room, putting the right people together or making suggestions,” he says. This will be the second time MacLeod’s spoken to a large crowd. When he was in college, he was invited to the Robson Media Centre. “I was living on Vancouver Island at the time and I went over on the ferry, got in there, had a speech prepared, but when I got up on the stage and there was all the bright lights, I was like a deer in the headlights,” he recalls. Hopefully this time around, he’ll be at ease because he will be among people he knows.

A composite drawing of the Rick Hansen monument shows the design and size of the statue, which will be unveiled Sunday. Amongst the crowd on Sunday will be MacLeod’s two grandsons who are coming up for the event from Vancouver and Vancouver Island.

“I’ll at least know someone,” he says, chuckling. The Man in Motion 25th Anniversary Tour takes place in Williams

Lake at the Cariboo Memorial Complex on Sunday, March 25. With an End of Day Celebration beginning at 4 p.m. at the Cariboo Me-

morial Complex, locals and visitors will enjoy a traditional First Nations welcome and smudging, entertainment, a family barbecue, and a celebration cake. The line-up of entertainment includes the Cariboo Men’s Choir, Robyn Ferguson, LeRae Haynes and friends, Cindy Lightfoot and friends, and Don Alder. At 5:30 p.m. the official speeches will begin, and Miss Canada International Anna Dell will sing the national anthem. Of course, the height of the event will be when Hansen addresses the crowd. By the time Hansen arrives in Williams

Lake, the tour will have spanned almost 12,000 kilometres and involved 7,000 Canadians who have made a difference. Several other people from Williams Lake and area are medal bearers and can be seen throughout the city before MacLeod reaches the complex. On Monday, March 26 Hansen will visit Columneetza Secondary School — his former high school. Then, at 11 a.m., the Rick Hansen Man in Motion World Tour commemorative statue will be unveiled at the Tourism Discovery Centre. On Tuesday, the relay will continue south to 150 Mile House.

MoneySense ranks Williams Lake in bottom two Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake has ranked 189 out of 190, in MoneySense Magazine’s latest 190 Best Cities to Live findings. In 2010 the city ranked 177 out of 180. The city received its best rankings in per-

centage of discretionary income. It ranked 37 for having 28.4 per cent of incomes being discretionary, and a rank of 49 for having 136.8 days of precipitation. The worst rankings, however, were for 5,257 violent crimes, ranking the city at 188; for total crimes of 29,356, result-

ing in a ranking of 187; and for crime severity at 211.6, ranking it at 186. Those crime rates, however, were based on 2010 Canadian Centre for Justice statistics, MoneySense states in the explanation of its rankings. Other measurements included the percent-

age of people biking and walking to work, which was 7.1 per cent; the average house price, $273,900; and the percentage of people driving 2009-2011 vintage cars, which was 8.96 per cent. In the category of population growth, MoneySense deter-

mined that an annual rate of 7.9 per cent was considered ideal. Anything below or above that rate lost points and cities with a population loss got zero. Between 2006 and 2011, Williams Lake’s population rate declined by 1.4 per cent, causing it to receive a rank

of 164. The same is true for the subcategory of precipitation, which makes up part of the weather category. The ideal number is 700 millimetres a year, with anything above or below that losing points accordingly. Williams Lake had 450.3 mm

of precipitation, and ranked 78. It ranked 153 for pollution and 178 for employing 0.68 per cent of the population in arts, culture and sports. Ottawa, Ont., ranked the highest, New Glasgow, N.S. ranked the lowest, while Quesnel ranked 173 and Kamloops ranked 44.

Cariboo-Chilcotin trails receive gov’t funding Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Trail systems in the Cariboo Chilcotin have received a shot in the arm from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development’s Recreation Program to the tune of about $1.3 million. One of the recipients, the Cariboo Regional District, will receive $410,250 to develop or expand wheelchair accessible wilderness trails. “The funds will cover 75 per cent of the projects and we’ve applied to Cariboo Chilcotin

Beetle Action Committee and Northern Development Initiative Trust to cover the rest,” CRD chair Al Richmond says, adding the CRD is trying to access as much grant money for the Cariboo as it can. Additional support will also come in the form of in-kind work that community groups involved with each particular trail will contribute. There’ll be a combination of hiring local contractors, sourcing from local suppliers, and a considerable amount of volunteer work, Richmond explains.

Many of those groups have done preliminary work, but will now be able to do more detailed work now that they know how much money they will have to work with. Community groups benefiting from the funds in the vicinity of Williams Lake are the Lac La Hache Community Club (Felker Homestead Garlic Festival Trail), Horsefly River Roundtable (Salmon Spawning Trail), Gavin Lake Forest Education Society (Gavin Lake River Mouth), Alexis Creek Community Services Soci-

ety (Bull Canyon and Alexis Creek), Likely Chamber of Commerce (Quesnel Forks and Bullion Pit Lookout), Friends of Churn Creek/ Canoe Creek Band (Churn Creek Protected Area) and Russet Bluff Comm. Assoc./Williams Lake Band (Russet Bluff/Sugar Cane Forest). Other groups falling under the same application include Parkland Recreation Commission, 108 Greenbelt Commission, Hun City Bike Club, Roe Lake and District Rec. Commission, Friends of Barkerville, Cariboo

Ski Touring Club and Bouchie Lake Recreation. The project will see the widening of trails, reduction of steep grades, improvement of trail surfaces, brush clearing, installation of wheelchair accessible benches, picnic tables and outhouses. “The best part of this thing is that it’s communities from the south Cariboo right through to the north Cariboo. There are a variety of recipients and it’s a great opportunity to share that money throughout the region,” Richmond says, adding he has

also received calls from many young moms with babes in strollers who also really appreciate using the wheelchair accessible trails that are already in place. Cariboo MLA Donna Barnett was in Williams Lake Monday to let media know about the funding announcement. She says the funds are part of a $30 million dollar grant program announced by the premier in the fall. “We were very successful in the Cariboo and received four grants — three in my riding — one for Williams Lake for $550,640 to extend

the city’s river valley network through the development of an underpass to link the trail system to the Stampede Ground’s Equestrian trail system,” Barnett says, The current layout of that trail system does not provide access to all parts of the trails. The new connection will result in more than 16 kilometres of trail extending from the Stampede Grounds to the Fraser River, greatly enhancing its utilization. See FUNDING Page A4

Advisory Planning Commission may be disbanded After much deliberation city council decided at its regular council meeting Tuesday to bring forward a bylaw to disband the Advisory Planning Commission. It also advised staff to bring back a report outlining additional public consultation options for all development and land-use planning matters. Reading from a report from planning staff, Coun. Sue Zacharias said while the commission considers proposed land-use bylaws or permits, and over the years has been seen as play-

ing an important role to council, its legitimacy has been questioned. “Membership and recruitment, commitment of members, quorums, and research by members into the landuse applications before them, and general interest in the commission are some of the issues the APC faces,” Zacharias said. Staff polled various cities to see how they are addressing APCs. Some had APCs, some had had them, some didn’t have them anymore, and some were in the process of thinking about forming one because of overwhelming participation.

“We’ve come to this point, but there will be a process to find better ways to deal with development and landuse planning matters,” Zacharias said. Coun. Ivan Bonnell described the APC as a discretionary authority that was established in the community in the 1960s and continued through the years. “Changes in development, changes in planning subdivisions, and other development processes also have public input on them. Given the fact that all those changes have been happening, the current structure of the APC has been diminishing,” Bonnell

said, adding it has nothing to do with anyone in particular. Opposing the disband, Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said he’s heard from people that the APC should remain in place. If recruitment is the problem, he suggested that council members should take it on themselves to recruit members, and that refresher courses be offered for members on the APC. “I personally feel we should not abandon it,” he said. Cook responded that the decision wasn’t arrived at easily. “This has come about because over the last two

years we have very few meetings of the APC that had a quorum and sometimes we only had two people,” she said, adding the APC has only been able to forward notes of meetings to council because it can’t make recommendations without a quorum. Bonnell added he

Mayor Kerry Cook says she remembers very well when council was at UBCM in September and Premier Christy Clark announced the funding opportunity. “We were wondering as a community what projects we should put

forward,” Cook recalls. “I’m very excited we were one of 98 successful applicants,” Cook says. “It’s great news for our community.” The funds from the province will cover 80 per cent of the cost of underpass link — council has committed the other 20 per cent, which is $138,000. Improved access to

the River Valley will promote pedestrian transportation and a healthy lifestyle via a trail that is accessible to people of any level of ability, Cook adds. Barnett also announced that 100 Mile House received $280,000 for improvement to the Bridge Creek trails in the city’s park, while Wells re-

disbanding it then and it just never happened,” he said, adding that council and the public have access to all the documents that come before the APC. In the end Bonnell, Zacharias, Coun. Danica Hughes voted to disband. Rathor was opposed.

Without the funding, she says, communities would have to increase taxes to get any trail improvements done. “Anything we can get and gain is wonderful news,” Barnett adds.

Baby Jayce born with strong will to survive Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer When little Jayce Connor Parker makes his journey home to Williams Lake next month he’ll arrive here around his due date. Born on Dec. 26 at Cariboo Memorial Hospital at 25.5 weeks gestation and weighing one pound, 13 ounces, Jayce has spent the last three months at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. On March 19, his mom Megan Ward, 24, said her son was doing really well and is breathing completely on his own. The next step, she says, is learning how to feed. Up until now he’s had a feeding tube directly down his throat to his stomach. She’s been expressing milk every day, which is then poured down a vial into the tube, and he’s had formula to augment what she can provide. He now weighs five pounds, two ounces, which is a long way from December. “He was a little guy, pretty much the size of my hand. His arms and legs were about as round as a pinky finger,” Ward recalls, adding the first week she cried every time she saw him and wondered how he would survive because he was so tiny. Within 45 minutes of an emergency caesarian section Jayce and Ward were transported by air ambulance to Vancouver. Upon arrival, Ward and her partner Drew Parker were told their son had a 50/50 chance. “It really depended on him and his will to survive,” Ward notes, adding his lungs were very damaged. After they incubated him they had to stick a tube down his throat to help him breath. The tube, however, created scar tissue and made his lungs very stiff, not elastic like most babies’ lungs. He was on that breathing tube for two months and on a machine that vibrated non-stop to help release C02, Ward says. “It was odd, especially when you’d go in to touch him and he was shaking. It was very uncomfortable and you could tell he didn’t enjoy it at all.” When he was able to graduate to using a

been difficult, yet now that it’s almost coming to an end, and the family can head home, Ward’s feeling relieved. Looking back Ward figures because Jayce was born on Boxing Day that’s made him a toughie from the very beginning. “He’s a fighter, that’s for sure,” she says. ScotiaBank employees in Williams Lake fundraised $1,426 for the family through a raffle, with prints donated by local artist Randi Evans won by Duane Wycotte and a hockey package won by Mark Taylor. Ward’s mom, Margaret Ward, works at the bank and says they also received a big donation from an anonymous donor. “The support from the community has been unbelievable,” she says.

Jayce Connor Ward was born Dec. 26 at Cariboo Memorial Hospital, at 25 weeks and 4 days gestation. Here he is three months later. breathing mask, she was thankful. Jayce also experienced heart problems. His pulmonary diastolic artery didn’t close when he was born and fluids were rushing into his lungs. He was medicated in hopes that it would close. When it didn’t close up right away, the doctors waited a couple of weeks. Eventually it closed enough that they weren’t worried, and then it closed right up on its own. “There was a chance he was going to have surgery on it, but thankfully that’s no longer an issue,” Ward says. Intestinal problems also abounded, with blood in his stools. His health digressed to a point where his parents would lift his arm and he would let it drop because he was so exhausted. He even developed the start of pneumonia in the upper lobe of his lungs. However, the medication they used for his intestines also helped his lungs.

Once he was over those two humps he began to make strides. Ward does recall a day where the doctor pulled her and Drew aside and said she wasn’t telling them to call a priest right away, but it wasn’t looking very good. But after that conversation, Jayce did an upward climb, proved the doctor wrong and showed her he was here to fight. In fact, there were many times throughout the first few months where the doctor would predict how things were going to transpire, and Jayce would do the opposite. “It was almost like reverse psychology,” Ward suggests. Describing the experience as a roller-coaster ride, riddled with ups and downs, Ward believes it has made her a stronger person. She never imagined going through something like this and says it’s made her very grateful for her family. “It brings a whole new

light to motherhood. That overwhelming love you have for your kids. It’s pretty hard to see your child in that situation. You just want to trade places with them and take away their pain,” says Ward, a first-time mom. The experience has

ome excellent news for our trail network this week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the city has been approved for a $550,000 Community Recreation Program grant from the province for the construction of an underpass of the CN Rail line at the former Praxair site on Mackenzie Avenue. This underpass will be an important link in the From the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developChair ment of Kerry Cook a trail network which connects the lake, River Valley, Westside, South Lakeside, downtown core, and the community. This is one of the top priorities in the Parks, Trails, and Outdoor Recreation Master Plan. This is another great example of how partnerships help build our community. Council has also committed about $138,000 to this project. I want to highlight all of the volunteers who made the celebration of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 83rd birthday last week a standing-room only success. Council appreciates the hard work our dedicated Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin volunteers do to preserve, promote, and celebrate our heritage. It looks like spring might finally be on its way! I spent a wonderful afternoon with my grandson at Kiwanis Park, and it was packed. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fortunate to have accessible, safe, and family-friendly facilities like this. He told me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gamma, I sure wike the park!â&#x20AC;? I want to invite everyone to help us celebrate this Sunday as our hometown hero Rick Hansen comes to town as part of his 25th Anniversary Relay celebrating the Man in Motion tour. Hansenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision and leadership has been an inspiration to everyone. As someone who grew up with a family member in a wheelchair, I know how vital Hansenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion and the work of his foundation is to promoting accessibility and supporting spinal cord injury research.

Welcome Hansen back Rick Hansen was in the back of a truck when it suddenly swerved and hit a tree. The collision caused the then-15-year-old Hansen to sustain a spinal cord injury, which paralyzed him from the waist down. Hansen, who grew up Williams Lake, worked on rehabilitation and completed high school and became the first student with a physical disability to graduate in physical education from the University of British Columbia. His achievements didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end there. He won national championships in wheelchair volleyball and wheelchair basketball and became a world-class champion wheelchair marathoner and Paralympic athlete, to name a few of his many accomplishments. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until 1985 when Hansen began his Man in Motion Tour, an achievement that has earned him recognition across the globe that he travelled around in his wheelchair. Hansen spent 26 months traversing more than 40,000 kilometres through 34 countries before re-

turning to Vancouver where he started his journey that was inspired by British Columbian athlete and fellow international hero Terry Fox. Hansenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour raised $26 million for spinal cord research and quality of life initiatives, which continue to be his focus today. The Rick Hansen Foundation, of which Hansen is the president and CEO, has raised more than $200 million for spinal cord injury related programs. On Sunday, the Man in Motion will be back in Williams Lake as part of the 25th Anniversary Rick Hansen Relay, and will be joined by Bruce MacLeod of Horsefly, the final medal bearer. MacLeod will be on the main stage to share his own story. Come out and attend the End of Day Celebration to welcome Hansen and MacLeod and others in attendance. It takes place at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, with entertainment to begin at 4 p.m. and official proceedings to begin at 5:30 p.m. See you there!

ast week the minister of finance floated the idea that B.C. might support the relocation of welfare recipients, on a voluntary basis, from the Lower Mainland to parts of the province where there are job vacancies. This appears to be an ill-formed idea for a multitude of reasons. However, the fact that MLA the idea Musings is being Bob Simpson floated speaks to an issue the government must start to grapple with in a more deliberate way than simply floating out trial balloons. That issue is where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get the trained workforce to support the variety of major projects that will potentially be initiated in B.C. over the coming decade. The proponents of the first LNG plant in Kitimat have stated publicly that worker shortages will threaten the economic viability of their and other LNG projects. The costs of the Site C project, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approved, are likely to escalate dramatically as well due to workforce issues alone. Supplying the workforce for new mines, four LNG plants, various pipeline projects, the expansion of shale gas development, and all the associated service sector businesses that will support these major projects will require creative thinking and deliberate planning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by government. Â Only government has the overall responsibility and capacity to do this level of planning. It will demand a higher level of co-ordination and thoughtfulness than simply floating out trial balloons about relocating welfare recipients. And, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll require an increased investment in post-secondary education and training, not the decrease weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing in that budget item over the next three years.Â For our region, a well-planned workforce transition strategy is needed as soon as possible, as our log supply will decrease dramatically, as early as three years from now. It may not be welfare recipients who will need help relocating if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a plan for this potentially dramatic transition. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Programs need to be digitized Editor: An open letter to Richard Harris, MP for Cariboo-Prince George. In light of the forthcoming budget from our government, we wish to express to you the importance of maintaining and developing national programs for digital inclusion in order to assure that all Canadians can use and have access to technologies in constant evolution. As you know, to a large extent, thanks to the support of the community access program (CAP) and its youth initiative (CAP YI), the Internet community access centres are at the core of an immense national network of places that every year help

hundreds of thousands of people to integrate new technologies into their lives. These centres and their young co-ordinators offer training courses for different software, help with job searching, offer access to several services as well as an opportunity for better cultural integration. Working within both public and private sectors, due to experienced personnel, the centres also offer several complementary services that range from video editing to website creation to innovation through uses. Thus, the thousands of young interns that take part in the CAP YI project acquire a unique experience that allows them to become active

citizens. The contribution of the Internet community access centres as well as that of the workers and volunteers largely supports the efforts of Industries Canada. Yet the community groups have limited resources and cannot satisfy the needs of the population alone. It is for these reasons that we ask the Canadian government to maintain, update and expand these programs. Bear in mind that you will have the full support of the Chilcotin region in the development of a new vision for a digital Canada. John Kerr Tatlayoko Think Tank Ltd., Tatlayoko Lake, B.C.

Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter fails to connect the dots Editor: Doug Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest narcissistic letter identifies a naive diagnosis and solution to indigenous peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems. Notably, like many who revert to blaming the victim, Wilson centres the problem that indigenous people face as primarily an issue of poverty; however, he does so without explaining how independent sovereign societies were destroyed and then contained within reserves to create and manifest that poverty. As a friend always reminds me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you cannot talk about poverty without talking about disease, missionaries, the Indian Act, government oppression, without talking about residential schools or stealing other peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; children,

www.wltribune.com A7

without talking about dispossession, etc.â&#x20AC;? Failing to connect these dots, Wilson falls into preaching the common fiction or Manichean delirium from a position that suggests: white settler society is superior and Indigenous people remain inherently inferior. Speaking from the context of Attawapiskat, the Enbridge Pipeline and the New Prosperity proposal, Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s argument simply implies: Natives are naturally poor; therefore, to relieve poverty and to be successful, you need to accept settler societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capitalist economic development activities. This rationale may ring true to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Imperial sensitivities, but accepting the history of injustice fails to address the real problem, which reveals the fact that succes-

sive generations of governmental action has managed to create financial and psychological dependency. This is not indigenous peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fault by choice; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a result of state-sponsored actions imposing a divisive political system and reengineering a new reward system that keeps a standing reserve of desperate, poor people, which is strategically meant to guide indigenous people into conformity, or suffer. Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bi-weekly letters echo the colonial entrapment that settler authorities have constructed to gain access to the land, and arguing uncritically from this position is not an honest reflection of our reality.

The beautiful sounds of spring swoop into the valley

he first day of spring has come and gone and though the still-frigid mornings we are experiencing these past days seem to contradict its presence, there are yet other signs that argue and confirm its arrival. Such as the bluebirds, Canada geese and swans that showed up about 10 days ago (Alkali Lake valley) and then this past Sunday, the first meadowlark. We heard its beautiful song

Cattle Fodder Liz Twan first and then had to search to make visual confirmation; it was perched high atop a hydro pole loudly trilling its gorgeous spring song. With its very audible voice

and bright yellow visage, the bird is an apt harbinger of spring and adds a cheerful note to any day. I have learned (over the past 30-odd years) from my husband and my neighbours, the Secwepemc word for the meadowlark, cĂşcwle7, one of many native words achieved in my memory. In the fields, young calves romp happily in the afternoon sun; they are not quite so enthusiastic or mobile in the early-morning cold.

Eagle numbers in the valley are on the increase as they tend to congregate in close proximity to the calving grounds; I refer to them as â&#x20AC;&#x153;natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clean-up crewâ&#x20AC;? for they sit patiently, high atop a tree or hydro pole keeping an eagle-eye as a cow gives birth. When it appears the process is complete and the calf is up (had its first suck) and the duo has moved along, the waiting eagles swoop down to feast on the afterbirth (expelled by the cow) left on

the ground. To the uninitiated, this probably sounds pretty gross but I admire natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s symmetry; her clean-up crew is very thorough and soon all evidence of the birth-event has vanished. Now and then there is competition for the protein-rich treat as ravens, crows and coyotes also lurk and hover close by, also hoping for an easy meal.

Young Nations player Stanley Morningbull (right) beats a Chase player to the puck Sunday during the peewee final of the Central B.C. Aboriginal Youth Hockey Tournament. Hundreds of youth from throughout the province took part in the event, which ran from Friday to Sunday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex in Williams Lake.

Fifth annual tournament a success Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer For the fifth time in as many years, the Central B.C. Aboriginal Youth Hockey Tournament will be a weekend to remember for hundreds of players, parents, spectators and coaches. Players spread across multiple teams from around the province and various divisions including initiation/novice, atom, peewee, bantam and midget took part in the event, which began last Friday and wrapped up Sunday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. A solid contingent of local talent in each division welcomed teams from Good Fish Lake, Alta., Fort St. John, Prince George and Chase for the tournament. Saturday afternoon an opening ceremony honouring local boy, 15-year-old Nick Paul, who has been battling leukemia for the past two years, was held. His father, James, gave a heartfelt speech to the crowd about what his son, and their entire family, has been going through. Nick played in the tournament the very first year it was held, and is an avid hockey fan. He was flown from B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital for the day to take part in the celebration, because he wanted to be there, despite his doctors not wanting him to travel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to fight this to the end,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a young gentleman, a young man, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always got a smile on his face. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never given anyone a hard time, at

all, ever.â&#x20AC;? Sheila Kelalst Booth, president of the Central B.C. Aboriginal Youth Hockey and Sports Association, said the kindness from everyone is greatly appreciated by the Paul family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for all the kind donations for Nick,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is now back in hospital receiving treatments for his illness. The kindness from all is appreciated. Since the opening ceremony one of the visiting teams will make a generous donation to the Paul family.â&#x20AC;? The tournament itself, she added, was a big success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you to all the sponsors, volunteers and committee members,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The weekend went along very smoothly and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grateful for the continued support and are looking forward to next season.â&#x20AC;? Teams played a series of round robin games within their respective divisions before battling in the finals on Sunday. Winning teams received Fifth Annual CBCAYHT sweaters, featuring this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament logo.

KidSport training starts in March Have you ever dreamt about running five kilometres? Recreation Services has the perfect program for you. The KidSport Classic Training Program starts Thursday, March 29 at 5 p.m. Since its inception in 1993, the beginner running program has provided more than 700 people with the tools necessary to start running. People enrol in this program for many reasons. Some register as a kick-start to their summer running program, some register to complete their first five kilometre run, while others join to lose weight. The KidSport Classic Training program will meet in the new program room at the complex this season. John Youds, a seasoned runner, will be instructing the program with the

help of volunteer running buddies. Inspiration speakers will share their knowledge during the first 15 minutes of each class. Topics will include building a safe, sustainable running program; choosing the right running shoe; preventing injuries; stretching; running techniques; and choosing clothing. An introduction to strength training and a professional foot assessment are also included in this value added program. The program will begin with 30 seconds of running and four and a half minutes of walking. Gradually over the 13 weeks participants will be ready to participate in the KidSport Classic Run on June 24. Matt Bennison is one of the graduates of the KidSport Classic training program and has

Kenny calm headed into Saturday title fight Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer When Williams Lake’s Lloyd Kenny steps foot in the ring this Saturday in Vancouver to fight for the B.C. Muay Thai Heavyweight Title, he knows he’ll be calm. The 20-year-old, 220-pound fighter said he’s in the best shape of his life, and is feeling great, mentally. His opponent, Vancouver’s Jonas Kwiatkowski, a six-foot-seven, 230-pounder, isn’t one to be taken lightly, Kenny stressed. “He’s very decent,” Kenny said. “He’s not fast, he’s just a really big guy. The guys he’s put down are pretty reckless so I’ve got to go out there and be cautious. “I can’t go out there and try to kill him. I have to go out there and think about what I’m doing, which I feel pretty good about. I have a lot of clarity right now.” Kenny said he’s been doing extensive cardio and conditioning work, along with his normal fight preparation routines. Additionally, he’s been working with some Williams Lake Box-

ing Club members and travelling to Vancouver to train with sparring partners. “My last fight was in November, but it’s [training] something I’m always doing,” he said. “I’m the only guy at the gym on the treadmill for an hour and a half. Right now my body conditioning is better. I feel better, my muscles feel better, all that.” Kenny stressed he isn’t putting too much pressure on himself to win the fight, however. “The biggest thing I want to get across is it’s still amateur,” he said. “I only have six or seven amateur fights so I’ve got a long way to go. It’s a stepping stone, but to me it’s just a learning experience. “I really want to win, but if I lose I’m not going to go, ‘Oh, that’s the end of my career.’ It’s a big thing but I don’t put too much pressure on myself.” Kenny added he’s grateful for the training of Williams Lake Muay Thai trainer Paul Rosborough, who’s been working with him for the past couple of years. “With Paul there’s been a lot of learning,” he said.

Boxers go two for two over weekend Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake Boxing Club members Tristan Meldrum and Harley Mulvahill marched away from Prince George’s Spruce Capital Boxing Club last weekend with a pair of victories under their belts. Meldrum, 14, took a decision on Prince George’s Dillon Cruickshank in a 112pound contest, while Mulvahill stopped his opponent, Slave Lake Boxing Club’s Dustin Paulina, in the second round.

WLBC coach Gary McLellan said he was extremely happy with Meldrum’s performance in the fight. “The difference was Tristan’s defence against the other boy’s,” McLellan said. “The game plan was for him to go out there and keep the pressure on and keep moving forward, because it’s hard to fight when you’re moving back all the time. “The way he listened to instruction and followed through, we’re extremely happy.” Mulvahill, the WLBC’s top-ranked amateur, said he didn’t quite know what to expect from his opponent heading into the bout. “We both weighed in at 155 pounds, but he was quite a bit shorter than me, which is what I like,” Mulvahill said. “I didn’t know what to expect, or anything about him, but once I got in there I could see he didn’t have the

counts on Paulina, before his corner threw in the towel. “I just went out there in the second round ... and tried to stay close to him so he couldn’t get away. I rocked him with a few good rights,

“They call the Cariboo home” A taste of the city was all it took for Walter Brunner Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Take two fresh buns of friendliness, a dash of a sense of humour and a slice of quality. Add a generous patty of character and you’ll begin to understand what make’s Walter Brunner and his Burger Shed’s recipe work. A Swiss-trained chef by trade, Brunner arrived in Williams Lake in 1994 with an insatiable appetite for making people happy through his cooking. After owning, managing and working at a large hotel company in his native Switzerland, Brunner spent time stationed in Australia, South Africa and different countries in Europe. When he arrived in Canada 20 years ago he landed a job as head chef for a large catering company in northern B.C. before he opened a restaurant in Williams Lake. By that time, however, he had begun to tire of the monotony involved with managing such an endeavor. “I moved here 20 years ago,” Brunner says. “Why? I like it. You could give me $10 million to go back and I’d say keep the money. I’d visited about 15 times before moving to Canada, and it was maybe my second or third time visiting when I came to Williams Lake for the first time.” Since its opening in Williams Lake, the Burger Shed, located in the Canadian Tire parking lot, has been a staple for hamburger connoisseurs for the past eight years. Brunner says it’s the happiest he’s ever been running a business, and it’s the people who make it all worthwhile. If you ask Brunner what makes it a success, he’ll tell

It’s a familiar face to many — Walter Brunner, smiling in the window of the Burger Shed. The Swiss-trained chef says he’s loved every minute of his time spent in the lakecity. you it’s all about using fresh, quality, local ingredients. “I’ve had restaurants, but I don’t like to have more restaurants,” he says. “This is better and at the end of the day I’m happier. “The other thing is the peo-

ple like what I do. Otherwise, I wouldn’t do it. The people and the town are absolutely super with me.” Brunner buys all of his meat locally, and all of his products come from B.C. “I don’t buy anything Ameri-

“You need to have good, quality food, and you need to like what you do. Sure, it’s hot in the summer, but I have air conditioning,” he jokes. Brunner designed the entire menu by himself, which features gourmet hamburgers of all varieties (there are literally more than 30 different burgers). His inspiration, he says, comes from his own observations. “You look at the Food Network, you look on the Internet, you see so many ideas,” he says. “You go down to Vancouver, you go down to Victoria — when you look, you see. Whatever you like, I can make. If you like burgers with fancy stuff, I can do it.” When not making gourmet hamburgers Brunner spends much of his time in the outdoors. His hobbies include scuba diving, flying (he had a pilot’s license), sailing, boating, fishing and hiking. “It’s fun. It’s really fun here,” he says, pointing to the people of Williams Lake who make his job interesting. “At the end of the day it’s the people — they’re really, really good to me here. Joking with the people is my favourite thing.” The Burger Shed opened two weeks ago and stays open throughout the summer until December, when Brunner typically takes off on a sailing trip until he re-opens in March. Brunner also employs several staff and, in the future, has plans to open another burger shed in the Save-On-Foods parking lot, and an East Indian and Thai cooking shed next year. “I’m just one of the happy guys,” he says with a smile. “You come here and you get the same treatment as everyone.”

Gaeil Farrar photo Anthony Williams (top centre) and Dwayne Davis work on the Cariboo Friendship Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new mural honouring Liz Robertson (far left), Chiwid, Marg Ahdemar, and Augusta Evans as Lance William looks on.

Friendship Centre mural honours four women Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer One of the new murals being created at the Cariboo Friendship Centre pays tribute to four women who have passed on but were strong community leaders who led by example. The murals are being painted by the Friendship Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choices youth group under direction of lakecity artist and muralist Dwayne Davis. The portraits of the women were being painted appropriately around International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day March 8 and were selected by the Choices group, says executive director Rosanna McGregor. The mural honours Augusta Evans, Chiwid, Marg Ahdemar, and Liz Robertson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The four women have significance for all of us,â&#x20AC;? McGregor says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were strong women in our communities and positive role models.â&#x20AC;? Augusta Evans is recognized for

her contributions to First Nations people in a book titled The Days of Augusta by Jean E. Speare and in a 16-minute National Film Board documentary. Among her accomplishments, Evans wrote poetry and prose, served as midwife to many women and lobbied for many years for the reinstatement of First Nations women who lost their status when they married non-aboriginal men. McGregor says Evans also bought a medical guide from Simpson Sears and as a typical granny used the information she found in it to help people whenever she could. Ahdemar served 19 years as the Cariboo Friendship Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director and tragically lost a hard-fought battle with cancer last summer. McGregor says Ahdemar made many contributions to community life in her role as executive director, all the while celebrating family and raising her own children and some grandchildren as well. Robertson was one of the found-

ing members of the Cariboo Friendship Centre and one of the first instructors with the Native Indian Teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Education Program (NITEP) offered by the University of British Columbia. McGregor says Robertson is the only person to be granted a lifetime membership in the Cariboo Friendship Centre Society. The life of Chiwid is documented in the book Chiwid by Sage Birchwater. The hardships she endured are in part the inspiration for the Cariboo Friendship Society establishing a transition house in her name for women who have been abused. Last year the Choices young adult group called themselves SWOT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Strong Women of Tomorrow because it was entirely comprised of women. Among their achievements, last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group painted a mural in the entrance of the Cariboo Friendship Centre. There are two men in the Choices group this year so they have chosen

the new name, SWAG or Strength Within All Generations, to represent their group which is painting murals in the Hearth Restaurant and entrance to the Hearth. Choices members Anthony Williams, Tasheena David, Juanita Keener, Felicity Tuck, Lance William, and Fallon William are attending the 10th annual Gathering Our Voices 2012 Aboriginal Youth Conference this week in Nanaimo. The event is hosted by the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres and the Tillicum Lelum Aboriginal Friendship Centre. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is A Generation on the Move. Aboriginal Youth aged 14-24 are participating in workshops on health, language, culture, the environment, employment, education, sports and recreation. The conference also includes cultural, sports and recreational activities, evening entertainment and an interactive career and education fair.

Classrooms at Thompson Rivers University will be transformed into a fun-filled gaming arena on Sunday, April 1 from 1 to 4 p.m., as participants compete against each other in the Wii Olympics. The fundraising event is being organized by a group of three TRU human service students as part of a class project, in partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District. Funds raised at the event will support programs for youth in our community. “The students are in first year and they are completing a course that uses a service learning model for their first year practicum placement, says Jay Goddard, TRU’s human service programs co-ordinator. “The idea of service learning is to learn by doing and in our case it is to introduce students to a specific area of human service practice in the community. This year we have four projects including the Wii Olympics.” Participants age six and up will be grouped into teams representing different countries, with teams facing off in a series of six Olympic-style events, which will include various sports and dance games using Wii game consoles. Children under age six will not be left out of the action, as there will be a fun station set aside for

The extent of her accomplishments and contributions to the community were recognized in a special tribute paid to her at the International Women’s Day dinner held at Thompson Rivers University Friday, March 9. The dinner was organized by the Women’s Contact Society. Executive director Irene Willsie presented Gentles with the award and lakecity author and historian Diana French presented the detailed history about Gentles’ life and accomplishments. “Joan has spent her adult life working to make sure First Nations people receive equality and justice and that they preserve their culture as they integrate into the mainstream of society,” French says in her tribute. “It doesn’t matter whether it be a struggling student or teacher, or a rodeo contestant, Joan is always there to encourage or support. “She will tell you that no one achieves anything alone, that it takes teamwork, but she has been a catalyst for change in the Cariboo Chilcotin as a courtworker, counsellor, edu-

The purpose of a home inspection is to find out everything you need to know about the home you’re thinking of purchasing. You want to know about any major potential repairs and expenses that may come up in the near future. You want to know what kind of shape the roof and foundation are in. You want to know exactly what you’re buying! The best way to ensure you’re using a professional home inspector is to seek referrals from your mortgage broker, real estate agent or friends & family. You want to know that others have used this inspector and have found him or her to offer professional, unbiased advice. When you’re looking around for a home inspector to use, remember to ask these questions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Can I see your licence/professional credentials and proof of liability insurance? How many inspections have you completed? Are you a member of a professional organization? What’s your background – construction, engineering, plumbing, etc? Can I see some references? What kind of report do you provide? How long do your inspections usually take? How much do you charge for an inspection?

By asking these above questions and taking the time to research the professionals that you’re getting your advice from, you’ll save yourself potential heartache and big money in the future by making an informed and educated choice!

Women & Wellness raises $3,908 for Crisis Line programs

Lester Doskoch made flambeed pear dessert and bourbon prawns for the Women and Wellness dinner which raised funds for the lakecity’s crisis line.

The Women & Wellness fundraising gala held at the Elks Hall Feb. 29 was a great success with 139 women participating and raising $3,908 for the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Crisis Line and Crisis and Counselling program. “The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive,” says event co-ordinator and local CMHA counsellor Sheila Cohen. “Numerous women commented how much they enjoyed the evening and how much it meant to them to get “pampered” with so many treats and be amongst so many wonderful women.

“Many guests stated how surprised they were entering the Elks Hall with the amazing atmosphere created by the decorating team from the sponsor group Canadian Mental Health Association, Williams Lake branch. “And, yes, even the bathroom was touched up with candles, flowers and décor,” Cohen says. She says Della Rauch and Karen Taylor from True Food Services spoiled the participants with delicious Hors d’oeuvres, and Lester Doskoch prepared a flambéed pear dessert and bourbon prawns. Wine and non alco-

holic drinks were served along with appetizers by the male serving crew comprised of board and staff members, and a group of teenage men who volunteered their time. Homemade chocolates were offered, prepared by the Beta Sigma Phi Women’s group. “Rita Corbett inspired us with her heartwarming personal story about her own family and challenging times in her life.,” Cohen says. “Janice Breck lifted our spirits with her motivational speech. And Amber Bowen, Heather and Marli Froese entertained us with piano, guitar and beautiful songs.”

Amazing door prices donated by local businesses were handed out throughout the evening, from handbags to beauty products, and gift certificates for massages. Each woman received a gift bag with treats, including homemade bath salt, a bookmark and a specialty tea bag. And at the end of the night all women were helped in their coats and handed a beautiful rose. “Last but not least we would like to thank everyone for their donations,” Cohen says. “We raised $3,908 and the proceeds of the event will be used to support the Crisis & Counselling Program and our local

Crisis Line,” Cohen says in thanking all of the sponsors for their generous support, without which they couldn’t have held the event. “The Canadian Mental Health Association Cariboo Chilcotin Branch board and staff would like to thank all the supporters of the 2012 Women and Wellness Fundraising Gala.”

Darlene Johnson Darlene (Randall) Johnson of 150 Mile House passed away on March 10, 2012 at the age of 52. In the company of 8 brothers and sisters, Darlene made the intrepid trip by train from New Brunswick to the West Coast. Eventually, she became the girl next door to her future husband, Dean Johnson. Darlene was captain of the “Johnson All Girls Baseball Team” consisting of three daughters and five granddaughters. A snowmobiler, aerobics instructor, house builder, antique collector, gardener extraordinaire, amazing cook - campfire or kitchen, ardent fisherwoman, and long standing sunset observer, Darlene loved her boat and adventures as much as her family. Gone but not forgotten, with grace and dignity, Darlene’s spirit will remain with everyone in all the future fishing trips, hunting excursions and beach combing expeditions.

Better Homes & Gardens

Simple ways to Increase the Value of your home According to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, “Families that spend more on home improvements also realize the greatest rates of price appreciation. In many regions...homeowners recover as much as 80 - 90% of the cost of home improvements in the form of higher home values.”

• When preparing a house for sale: • Fix up the exterior first, then work on the interior (get the Buyers inside with good curb appeal). • Focus first on clutter, trash and bad smells that will drive Buyers away at first glance. • Whatever your budget, put a higher priority on improvements that can be easily seen because those give you the most ‘bang for your buck’. Spend your money on things a Buyer can SEE. Visibility adds value. • Once the clutter is cleaned up concentrate on landscaping. Prune overgrown trees and shrubs, especially if they obscure the front of your house. • Nothing could make more common sense than cleaning up the yard and exterior! • The single most cost-effective investment you can make to increase the value of your home is to buy a roll or two of trash bags. Stuff them with junk from outside the house - from beer cans to raked leaves. By not cleaning up the exterior of things like weeds, car parts, cans, broken rain gutters, overgrown shrubs and the like, it’s like creating opportunities for the bargain-hunters. • Paint is always a good and inexpensive way to freshen up the interior and exterior. A fresh coat will provide good ‘curb appeal’ and a fresh coat on the inside AND new flooring if necessary will update an older home and will help create a quicker sale. Most buyers don’t want to be faced with painting and replacing the flooring before they move in! • If the roof is dirty, hire someone to powerwash it. From the curb, ‘the roof takes up 30% of what you see’. If you have a nice looking roof, that goes a long way in curb appeal. • If you own a pet, invite a non-pet owner inside the house to sniff around. You might not notice the smell of your dog or cat, but it might turn off a potential Buyer. • It’s not necessary to ‘break the bank’, just spend a little time and money to make the place look better. The key is to think like a Buyer. Buyers drive up to a house and look at it. If they’re not turned off by what they see, they step inside and look around. • Finally, don’t over improve. Be sure the remodelling you do can be re-couped on the sale of the house. Submitted by Marian Gibb Century 21 Seaside Realty

Things to consider when having pictures framed?

My last editorial was on your first trip to a picture framer and what to expect. It was suggested to be aware of your own mind’s eye vision of the type of framing you like. And the type you have on your wall. Do you have all wood frames with matting or is your art tucked right into thin metal frames? Do you have a sample of color of your furnishings, your fabric and your wall paint to bring when you visit the framer’s? Do you

have a tendency towards non glare glass or clear glass? Do you like wearing a red sock on your right foot and a green one on your left? ( just checking if you are paying attention.) Now, the designing. Any good framer can give you options on framing your masterpiece. Our framer brags he can frame anything in a dozen different ways and still make it look good. If the work is precious, for its sentimentality or rarity, it is always a good insurance to ask for UV screening glass to inhibit fading, acid free matting and backing and proper archival hinging. (You don’t want masking tape or corrugated cardboard used, as these are full of acids and can burn anything they touch.) A little care and attention at the beginning can ensure your framed item will be admired and around for generations. Submitted by Bruce of Frame Creations

Invest in a rental property

Given the current national credit-crunched lending environment and the

slowing real estate market – which has shifted to a buyers’ market – coupled

with lower interest rates, now is an ideal time to invest in the purchase of

revenue property. After all, even though the real estate market slowdown has seen prices drop and interest rates dip, rental income has not wavered – making now an optimal time to start building your revenue property portfolio or continue adding to your existing list of properties. In order to take advantage of this opportunity the key is to work with a mortgage professional that can provide you with a wealth of knowledge and ongoing information to help you make informed investment decisions and feel at ease throughout each purchase. A portfolio approach must be taken to ensure future financing for those looking to purchase rev-

enue properties. An experienced mortgage professional will ask you in detail about your specific property investment goals and develop a game plan for the next five or 10 years based on these goals. A mortgage professional is also likely to partner with other investment property experts including real estate agents, lawyers, accountants, insurance agents and contractors. This gives you access to valuable information through this knowledge network. If you join groups such as the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN) or even a local Rental Owners and Managers Society (ROMS) you can receive another wealth of added

knowledge catered to your revenue property needs. While REIN can provide market insight and investing tips through years of experience, ROMS helps with credit checks for potential tenants, keeps you abreast of changes to the Residential Tenancy Act and other topics/concerns often faced by landlords. Mortgage professionals offer an invaluable service to real estate investors; the big picture! If the mortgages on your investment properties are set up properly from the on-set of each venture you will be able to get future financing – a necessity for continuing to build your portfolio of revenue properties.

Silestone quartz, a cleaner, safer countertop

Silestone is the only solid surface to contain anti-microbial protection called Microban. Microban is present throughout the entire slab of Silestone, so it will not wash off or wear away. Microban inhibits the growth of common bacteria, yeasts, moulds and fungi that cause stains, odors and product degradation. Silestone is stain resistant. Soap and water is all that is needed to maintain Silestone. In the case of difficult spills, any mild household cleaner left to soak on the area for about 10 minutes will do the trick. (Do not use products such as Drano, Liquid Plumber, oven cleaners, floor stripers or any oth-

er harsh chemicals on the surface as they will harm your top). Silestone is made up of 93% Natural Quartz and 7% natural pigment and resin. Quartz is a hard crystal developed by volcanic activity. Quartz is 100% non-porous. Stains, moulds and mildew cannot penetrate the surface because of this quality. Un-like Granite, Silestone does not need to be sealed to keep its lustrous shine. The Quartz in Silestone makes it naturally scratch-resistant. On a hardness scale of 1-10, Quartz is a 7, only Diamond, Topaz and Sapphire are harder than Quartz. Silestone is the world’s leading Quartz surfacing manufacturer. Slabs

are made in Spain by a company called Cosentino. Silestone has four times the flexuaral strength of Granite, making it less susceptible to chipping and cracking during transportation and installation. Silestone has a class 1 fire rating. It will not scorch or burn and can withstand temperatures up to 375 degrees Celsius. However, it is recommended to still use a trivet or heat pad to reduce the risk of thermal shock damage. If thermal shock does occur (extreme rapid temperature changes), only the heated area will crack, whereas most other solid surface tops will crack and break all the way through or even

shatter. If cracks, chips or breaks occur, they can be repaired using epoxy and colored quartz. Because Silestone is engineered, there are no voids or weak points in the surface, making it much more resistant to impact damage. Silestone natural quartz surfaces result from a tightly controlled process to ensure reliable performance, color, consistency and ultimate durability every time. Cosentino backs its Silestone slabs with a limited 15 year manfacturer’s warranty when it is installed by a Certified Silestone Installer. Silestone Natural Quartz is a product that stays at the forefront of innovation and design. It’s genius is its abil-

ity to meet your changing needs and lifestyle, offering you nearly 70 stunning colors with exclusive colors in the Platinum, Life!, Zen, Mountain and River Series Collections. There is also the Green Collection, which is a line-up of eco-friendly colors composed of post-industrial recycled glass. Plus, two exceptional textures that open a path to invent cutting-edge styles and designs. The original Silestone polished quartz surface has the look and feel that stands the test of time. With glimmering radiance and the smooth feel of natural stone, Silestone’s original polished surface remains popular throughout the

Redesign, making the most of what you have While interior design is the art of filling an empty space, the art of redesign a new trend in the design world, is the art of creating a space using existing furniture, art and accessories. In our world today with having to make your dollar stretch as far as possible and the every increasing deluge of “how to shows” on the likes of HGTV, it makes sense to reuse, repurpose and revitalize our spaces to create a home that reflects how you live. Remember nothing is written in stone, the old adage of matchy, matchy, furniture sets, etc has all gone to the wayside. Here are some pointers on how to try it yourself or if you aren’t able to see the vision, what a redesign professional will do for you. Think about how you live in your space; does the function of the rooms as typically defined work for you as they

are? For example, do you have a dining room that never gets used with the exception of once a year when you have family over for Christmas dinner? Well there is no design rule or principal that says you can’t turn it into a craft room, a kids’ playroom, or a cozy nook in which to read a good book. Turn it into a space that gets used all year round, and once a year, turn it back into a dining room. Try to think beyond the walls and floor space, it’s about having a home that works for you, one that you can live in, and that functions for you and your family. Now that you’ve thought about it, here’s how to get it accomplished, clear the entire room out, everything, most people take out the furniture but leave the artwork, this won’t work as the artwork will usually dictate where the furniture should be placed. You need a clean

slate in order to get perspective; this is the most crucial part of redesign. Okay you have moved everything out, you know what purpose you want the room to serve, now start placing the furniture, shop your own house, use pieces in unique and different ways. Use that old table as a desk, a dresser as a buffet, an old chair as an end table or bedside table. Remember to use the focal point of the room; if there is more than one, choose one primary focal point. If there isn’t a natural focal point, such as a fireplace or picture window, create one, every room requires one. You can use a wide range of things to create your focal point using a combination of furniture, art and accessories, it just needs to be visually powerful so that there is no question it’s the main feature of the room. Now create the conversa-

tion area so that it faces the primary focal point. If you have a TV that needs to be in the room, place it to one side of the primary focal point, that way it isn’t the main feature but everyone will be facing both it and the focal point. Next, place the other items of furniture in the room, think function, and make sure there is enough seating, also being careful not to overcrowd the space. Another common mistake is to push all furniture up against the walls, try to avoid doing this, bringing them into the room creates a more visually appealing space, creating depth beyond the furniture and it instantly becomes more warm and inviting. Now its time to place the art, do not even attempt to do this until you are comfortable with the furniture layout. Number one rule in hanging artwork is that

art is usually viewed from a seated position in every space of your home with the exception of the hallway and foyer. A common mistake is to hang the artwork way too high. Make sure that the art has some connection to the furniture piece below it; pick up color tones, or common styles. A good rule of thumb when deciding on the size of the art, it should be about two-thirds the width of the furniture piece below it, and never more than the width of the furniture. Maybe you don’t have a piece of art large enough, try hanging art in collections, hang a pair, or three or more pictures together that have the same theme or similar colors tones. Don’t overfill your space with artwork, you want to make a statement with the pieces you select. Its okay to have blank space, it allows the eye to rest on your special pieces.

Stand back, does the room work, is it visually appealing, and is it working the way you intended it to, then and only then can you move onto adding accessories. You will know you have reached this step if your room feels good. The accessories should be the items that reflect who you are and your personality, they should be important to you and the other members of your household. You want to look around your space when you are finished and it should bring back special memories and it should be a place you want to spend time in. Good luck with turning your space into a place of warmth and comfort, a place that is no longer a house but a home.

What can I control? Lighting: Dim light fixtures you could never dim before, and control them from anywhere. You can set them up for a scene such

as a party where you push one button and the whole house lights up. If you have a fire alarm go off in the middle of the night it automatically turns on lights so you can see. Security: Have your home call you if there is an alert situation. You can remote arm or disarm and unlock a door from anywhere to let a service person in to do work for you. You can remotely view a camera from your computer or smartphone to see if your kids arrived home on time.

Home Theater: Just imagine having one remote and when you push a button it turns on your tv, cable box,

and surround sound sytem for you. Thermostats: Remote controlled thermostats allow

Steps to dress up your backyard A backyard can look very bare when the snow disappears, but it is a great time to discover all sorts of new possibilities. If your lot lies on varying natural ground elevations, you may be tempted to give a new look to your property by dressing it up with some steps. The choice of materials to be used will depend on the style of your home. You might choose brick, cut stone, river stone, marble, slate, concrete, or even wooden logs. Once the materials are purchased, construction of the steps can begin. Don’t worry: this is a lot less technically challenging than building an inside staircase. The first thing to do is to stretch a cord around the area to define where earth has to be removed to carve out rough steps. By defining individual steps you will create a sort of grid. Using a spade, shape the steps, thus creating the base for your structure. If you want to be precise about the rise and width of this outdoor stairway, consult your local hardware store experts for recommended measurements or visit the do-

it-yourself aisle at your library or neighbourhood bookstore. Before positioning your materials it is important to prepare the ground and strengthen the base of each step with packed

The power to change light - it’s so easy Choosing from so many beautiful window fashions should be a pleasure, not a confusing chore. Start by reviewing these important considerations.

Do you prefer a traditional or contemporary look? Relaxed or formal? Country warmth or urban sophistication?

Light Source

Whatever colour or shade, tint or texture you want, you’ll find it among the endless choices available.

Where the light is coming from is important. First make sure you know which direction your window faces. North light tends to be cold and clear, suggesting energy-efficient window treatments. Light from the south is warm and strong yearround, so you might choose light-diffusing window coverings to protect your furniture. If your windows face east, bright, warm morning light calls for window coverings that block UV rays. And if light comes from the west, hot, bright afternoons demand solutions that are both light controlling and light diffusing. Privacy Do you need full privacy from next-door neighbors or just a little screening from, say, the garage or a central air conditioning unit? Style

Colour

Window Shapes Does anyone have ordinary windows any more? Not to worry. From arches to angles, from circular windows to Palladians, there are window coverings that will complement any window. Always Within Reach No matter where your windows are located, you need to reach them easily and safely. Energy Efficiency

Cabinets & Countertops

Safety

Fuel bills soaring? There are energy efficient window fashions so you can save on fuel bills while doing your bit for the environment. UV Protection

Built-in ultraviolet protection gives you the power to block the harmful rays that fade carpets, discolor upholstery and degrade your finest possessions.

Kids or pets, and loose cords can spell trouble. Operating systems and special features can be designed to make your home as safe as it is beautiful. Submitted by E.L. Fabricating

Today’s modern housing Manufactured and Modular Homes:

We have homes for everyone, no matter what stage of life you’re in. Whether you are a first time buyer, a growing family needing a larger home, or an empty nester wanting to downsize, we have a factory built design to fit your lifestyle. What’s the difference

between site-built and modular homes? A site-built home is constructed on site over a period of many weeks and months. A modular home is assembled on site and is usually finished within a week. Otherwise, both are constructed to adhere to the same building codes and zoning regulations. So, why not take advan-

tage of modern modular construction when considering your new home. Manufactured and modular homes are factory-built homes engineered and constructed in accordance with National and Provincal building codes. The homes are built in a controlled factory environment protected from weather-related damage. Every home built is

regularly inspected during each phase of the construction process to ensure the home meets our high quality standards. Moduline has a long history of providing quality manufactured homes as an affordable alternative to site built and other types of housing. Buyers benefit from Moduline’s ability to purchase building mate-

rials, including interior features and appliances, in large quantities resulting in lower costs. From 40 years of experience, Moduline has developed advanced engineering and construction methods to ensure that they continue to provide affordable and quality built manufactured homes. As a result of our experience and knowledge,

we have earned the trust of our customers when it comes to their housing needs and customer satisfaction. Moduline stands by their commitment for customer satisfaction. All their homes are covered by the 10 Year New Home Warranty and an additional 1 year factory warranty. Submitted by Bob Paterson Homes
