Arson in Williams Lake BY MONICA LAMB-YORSKI Tribune Staff Writer Arson is believed to be the cause of a fire that took place at a residential garage early Thursday. The Williams Lake RCMP say that just before 2 a.m. on Thursday, July 26, a homeowner called police to report a fire to the garage at her residence on Western Avenue near Carson Drive. Moments before, a witness observed a male wearing black shorts, a black shirt, and a red ball cap walk by carrying a Jerry can. Police say the fire was intentionally set.
The Williams Lake Fire Department arrived to extinguish the fire. “Someone had poured gasoline on the face of a garage door and the damage was quite minor. It basically scorched the front of the metal doors on the garage,” fire chief Randy Isfeld says, adding there was a vehicle fire at the same location a few months ago. Two pumper trucks and firefighters attended the scene and extinguished the fire quickly. Anyone with information on this crime is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477) or the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211.

AN APPLE A DAY... There has been a lot written about low-dose A.S.A. (Aspirin®) lately. There is evidence it does help people who have had a heart attack but new research has shown it has minimal effect on those with no history of heart disease. A.S.A. is a drug with side effects. Don’t start on this drug without your doctor’s consent. Mosquitoes can be a nuisance. Everyone has their favourite way of discouraging bites. B vitamins (B-1, B-12) don’t work. Wear light-coloured clothing and use insect repellents that contain DEET. Check with our pharmacists for advice. When camping, be cautious drinking water from mountain streams and creeks. Two water-borne parasitic diseases, giardia and cryptosporidiosis are caused by parasites sometimes found in water in rural areas. To be safe, bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute (3 minutes at altitudes above 2000 metres). Age-related macular degeneration is an eye disease that can affect people above the age of 60 and can lead to retinal damage and blindness. There is evidence that eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids can significantly lower the risk of this disease.

Distributor box catches fire BY MONICA LAMBYORSKI Tribune Staff Writer A fire occurred in a customer-owned distributor box for a series of trailers on Broadway Avenue North Wednesday. The Williams Lake Fire Department attended the scene around noon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fire was coming from the power pole
down to the distribution box where each trailer would have its own cut off,â&#x20AC;? fire chief Randy Isfeld says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was energized when we got there, but we managed to de-engergize it and eventually the breaker blew.â&#x20AC;? BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communications manager Dave Mosure says a switch burnt up. Hydro crews went out and made it
safe. Stormy weather in and around Williams Lake on July 22 left several customers without power. As temperatures rapidly rose, the wind picked up, dark clouds gathered, and there was lightning and thunder, resulting in 12.4 milimetres of rain falling in less than an hour in Williams Lake.

Some of you may recall this song that was popular in 1973. I remembered it the other day as I was driving the Likely Road and had to swerve to avoid driving over the dead skunk lying almost on the centerline. Along with the song came many other memories, especially the stink of a skunk whether dead or alive. Having lived up north for many years, this distinctive smell had become foreign to me, and believe me, I did not miss encountering it . I remember a young man who saw a skunk for the first time in his life. He had no idea of the potential danger he was in as he decided to chase and catch this lovely looking animal. They are great looking animals, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they, as they walk along so stately and proud? If you know nothing about them, you might have the urge to adopt them as pets. This young man approached the skunk and when he got close, he noticed a pungent odour but never having experienced it before did not associate it with the wonderful animal before him. It was only after the skunk turned away from him and presented the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;business endâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the skunk towards the young man
PARSONS PEN
BY GERRIT APPERLOO that he became painfully aware of the danger. Some things in life are very attractive, yet can be deadly. Rattle snakes belong in this category along with the skunk. In living life, many things attract followers of Jesus as well. Some, like a rose, are wonderful to enjoy and experience. However, others, like poison ivy or a skunk or rattler, are things to avoid at all costs because they have the ability to do serious and sometimes deadly harm to a follower of Jesus. Like the skunk and the rattler,often
there are warning signs if you know what to look for and what these signs indicate. Most dangers that a Christ follower faces have a bit of a stench associated with them or have been reported as having devastating consequences even though they look and even are attractive. Ignoring these warnings leads to reaping the results. Unfortunately, many do ignore the warnings and end up dealing with the pain of the consequences, sometimes for the rest of their lives. How does a Christian recognize the warning signs? Many instinctively (a God-given instinct) have a feeling of unease about doing certain things that are harmful. Others have seen the damage these things cause in the lives of believers. Still others have only heard of the dangers and the signs used to recognize the dangers. The most accurate way to recognize the dangers is to be fully committed to God and following his will, reading his Word, listening to his Voice (Holy Spirit) within you. And then to obey. The young man was warned about the danger of the skunk but ignored the advice. He paid dearly. Are you hearing the warnings?

The dirt on organic produce BY SIMONE JENNINGS Interior Health People often ask me if they should buy organic fruits and vegetables. Some of the common questions I get include: “Are organic foods better for you?” or “Are they worth the extra cost?” or “I want to reduce my exposure to pesticides, which fruits and vegetables have the most residues?” I always start by ensuring people that a diet high in plantbased foods has many health benefits including reduced risk of heart disease, cancer,
diabetes and other health problems. The benefits of consuming adequate amounts of fruits and veggies outweigh the risk of pesticide exposure. So regardless of whether you choose conventionally grown produce or organic, the main goal should be to get a minimum of seven to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. One serving equals one piece of fruit or vegetable or half a cup chopped. However, if you are looking to reduce your exposure to pesticides and it’s within your
budget to purchase organic then I think it’s worth it. It’s even better if you can purchase your organic food from a local source. Choosing local foods and buying organic when possible supports a more sustainable food system and allows the industry to grow. We are entering the time of year where local food is becoming abundant in our province so take advantage of your local farmers markets. The thing I love about the farmers market is you can talk directly to the person
who grows your food. You can inquire about their farming practices and use of pesticides (if any). Some foods tend to be more heavily treated as they are difficult to grow without getting bugs in them (if you have a cherry tree you probably know what I mean). However, other fruits and vegetables tend to be more naturally bug free and require little or no treatment. You can significantly lower your pesticide intake by limiting the most contaminated produce (or buying them organic) and eat-
ing more of the least contaminated fruits and vegetables. The Environmental Working Group has recently released the 2012 Shoppers Guide to Pesticide in Produce. The guide can help you determine which fruits and vegetables have the most pesticide residues. It is important to consider this as a general guide, not a hard and fast rule, as pesticide levels on foods can vary depending on where and how they are grown. The list was created based on studies done in the U.S. on local
B.C.-wide metal theft law in effect Canada’s first provincial metal theft law and regulations come into effect Monday, July 23, with identification and reporting requirements designed to limit the resale market for stolen assets and ensure thieves are identified and prosecuted. Those wishing to sell regulated metals on or after that date must present valid identification. In turn, scrap deal-
ers and recyclers who buy these metals will share purchase details with their local police. Officers will be able to use this information to compare against reports of stolen metal and seek court orders to obtain further information from dealers when required. In May, the government wrote to municipalities that have metal-theft-related bylaws, asking them
SAVE BIG!
to ensure their rules do not conflict with the new provincial ones. This followed consultation conducted in part to ensure the local and provincial approaches would work together. Metal thefts frequently endanger public safety, most notably by disrupting phone lines and access to 911 emergency service. In recent years, high scrap prices have
driven thefts with a total value in the tens of millions of dollars from utilities like Telus and BC Hydro, many other businesses and Lower Mainland municipalities. The provincial regulations focus on metal types and objects historically targeted by
thieves, ranging from copper telephone wire and plumbing to manhole covers and metal grave markers. Purchasers who fail to register with the Province and fulfil record-keeping and sharing requirements risk fines of up to $100,000.

Orange Hawkweed, alleged to have been introduced to North America from Europe, can displace native vegetation. Photos courtesy of the Cariboo Regional District
Orange Hawkweed can spread like wildfire Are you seeing orange? It’s that time of year again. Roadways, lawns and pastures throughout the Cariboo Chilcotin have turned a bright shade of orange due to blooming Orange Hawkweed. Hawkweed was alleged to be introduced to North America from its native home in Europe. The ancient Greeks believed it gave the hawks that fed on it keen eyesight. The colour of this plant’s flower is what makes it stand out from every other plant. They are brilliant red-orange colours that grow in clusters at the top of leafless stems. The entire stem and leaves are covered in small, stiff, black hairs. Orange Hawkweed has the ability to establish quickly by seed, above ground stems (stolons), and below ground stems (rhizomes), allowing it to form dense patches that displace native vegetation. Each flowering stem can be self-pollinated and may produce several hundred seeds. These seeds are spread
by wind, water, and human activities. Once the seeds have sprouted, Hawkweed spreads rapidly by the above ground stems which produce new plants that form a dense mat of rosettes. Early detection of these plants is critical. Once they form a large colony in an area they can be extremely difficult to control. Mechanical control of this plant is limited. Small
patches can be dug up, making sure all parts of the root are removed. The smallest fragment left behind can sprout a new plant. Therefore, repetition of this method may be necessary for the following years. Mowing of this plant may stop seed production but strongly encourages vegetative growth and is not advised. Fertilization with a blend that contains
higher amounts of sulphur or nitrogen has proven effective if the infestation is sparse to moderate. Hawkweed tends to prefer soils that are deficient in both nitrogen and sulphur. Fertilization in general promotes a healthy desirable plant community that will resist invasive plant invasion. If the infestation is large and quite dense, the judicial use of herbicides can effectively control Hawkweed. Look for herbicides containing active ingredients including Picloram, 2-4-D, Dicamba, Aminopyralid, or Clopyralid, but always remember to read the label before using and always follow the instructions for application. If you have any questions or concerns about Orange Hawkweed or need some assistance in identification or management, please contact the CRD’s Invasive Plant Management department at 250-3923351 or toll free at 1-800-665-1636 or visit the CRD website at cariboord.bc.ca.

Bogus advance fee loan company uses online classifieds to target victims Better Business Bureau (BBB) is warning consumers about a loan scheme targeting residents across Canada through online classified ads promising personal and business loans up to $100,000. “In a market where credit is tightening, consumers will look to these unregistered loan companies who are only interested in collecting fees,” says Danielle Primrose, president and CEO of Better Business Bureau of Mainland British Columbia. “Offers that practically guarantee loan approval are usually too good to be true.” Global Financial Services purports to be at 600-666 Burrard St. in Vancouver, but there is no licenced or incorporated company at that address. Consumers who found the Global Financial Services ad on the online classified, vancouver.backpages. com (and other Canadian city backpages.com sites) believed that they found a local company offering loans. The company conducts most of its busi-
ness through e-mail, including sending its contract for an advance fee loan. A consumer reported paying an advance fee of $216 to “cover transfer, insurance and underwriter’s fee” to Global Financial Services. The company provided a loan agreement, which offered to lend $10,600 to the consumer. The consumer was instructed to send the fee through wire transfer services. The wire transfer record shows that the money may have been transferred to a Montreal, Que. address. The consumer did not receive the loan. The Better Business Bureau offers the following points to consider before responding to ads promising guaranteed loans: • Stay away from advance fee loan companies. It is illegal for a company to charge a fee in advance to obtain a loan, even if that fee is disguised as the first or last month’s payment, security, or insurance. Victims of advance fee loan schemes who have sent money to process a
loan have not received the loan as promised. Although legitimate lenders may charge a fee, the fee is deducted from the loan amount. You should never have to pay a fee in order to obtain or apply for financing. • Be cautious about online loan offers. Bogus loan brokers are out there posing as legitimate ones and using online classifieds because these scammers can post anonymously. Legitimate loan brokers would not guarantee any qualification for a loan before reviewing your financial history. • Do your homework. Protect yourself by doing your research and taking precaution with whom and how you give your personal and financial information. Check with the Better Business Bureau first at www. mbc.bbb.org by looking up the company’s business review, or call and ask to look into the company. • Don’t be pressured to act immediately. Loan scams will always use terms like this offer for a limited time only or the phone calls will have
high pressure tactics. Don’t allow yourself to be bullied into providing your information or payment. • Avoid giving out personal information. Advance fee loans not only aim to profit from financially vulnerable consumers, these schemes often ask for sensitive personal information like Social Insurance Numbers, driver’s licence numbers, and possibly banking account information. Do not provide this information unless you are certain you are dealing with a legitimate company. • Report the crime. The Better Business Bureau strongly urges individuals to report any suspected fraudulent schemes to their local police or to Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-4958501. Victims of bogus loan brokers are encouraged to file a complaint with the BBB. While the chance of recovering the payment fee is minimal, victims can provide information to help BBB warn consumers and assist government investigations.

e have a tack shed in the middle of our sheep meadow, which is just slightly less odd than a shark tank in the middle of a desert. It’s a healthy 200 metres from our house and a good 100 metres (and a ditch and three gates) from the horse pasture. One could say its location is a tad impractical. After all, a tack shed holds tack, horse tack — saddles, bridles and halters along with all the brushes, combs and blankets. And yet there it sits way out in the sheep meadow. We don’t ride the sheep, so why is it there? I blame calendars. The shed is small with a hip roof making it look like a miniature barn. In what is now our sheep meadow once stood a gorgeous diamond willow. When we moved here we brought the shed from our previous property. I looked at the willow and pictured its branches draped over the roof. It would look gorgeous; a picture-perfect scene straight out of a calendar. Most likely January. I could already see the hoar frost icing the willow branches and the roof tucked under a thick frosting of snow. Can you picture it? Sure you can. And you know why? Because you have a calendar. There were plenty of detractors that tried to reason with me but I was fixated and firm. A little walking and inconvenience never hurt anybody. I was a lot younger. Some terrain and navigational difficulties
SLICE OF LIFE SHANNON McKINNON
resulted in the shed being parked several feet from the tree. This was unfortunate, but if you stood at just the right angle and squinted one eye you could imagine the willow branches draped over the roof. We put the horses in the meadow, their tack in the shed and all was right with the world. And then we got the goats. The meadow was small, barely two acres and fenced with page wire. The horses loved to lean over the page wire to see if the rumour was true; was the grass really greener? Their experimenting left impressions up and down the fence line like a ripple potato chip. We fenced in 10 acres across the road with barbwire, moved the horses over there and put the goats in the horse’s former digs. And then the goats ate the willow tree. Well they didn’t scarf it down like a hotdog, but they nibbled all the bark off around its trunk, killing it by what is known in forestry circles as “girdling.” For a few years things still looked picturesque in the winter with the snow on the
shed and frost coating the branches of the dead tree. Over time the willow trunk and branches turned dark silver and held a certain beauty and grace in its demise. And then we got some sheep. The sheep are Icelandic and have heavy curved horns, which they love to rub on everything, including dead willow trees. Last year a large portion of the tree toppled into a heap. You don’t see that kind of thing on the pages of a calendar. Not even in No-
vember. So there sits my folly in the field. They say it’s all about location, location, location. I finally admit it; the shed is in a bad location, bad location, bad location. Every once in a while we talk about moving the shed, but logistics get in the way. The skids are rotting, we’d have to take down the fence and we’d likely squash more than a few of the shrubs and trees that have been planted along the fence line since we moved here. Bad enough we
killed the poor willow. And the shed is almost 15 years older than it was when we moved it here. I don’t know what that works out to in shed years, but chances are good it might not hold up to being dragged over a bumpy pasture and then what? We’d have a heap of shed next to our heap of willow branches. You definitely won’t see that in a calendar any month soon. Between my garden, animals, work, projects and other commitments I’ve
been so busy I don’t know if I found a rope or lost my horse. However, this afternoon I am determined to get down to the shed to at least clean up the fallen willow and prepare to cremate its final remains. I just need to find my hiking boots … and perhaps pack a snack. Shannon McKinnon is a humour columnist from Northern BC. You can catch up on past columns by visiting www.shannonmckinnon. com.

Debbie and Dave Altherr perform today at Boitanio Park market Ranchers with a passion for music Debbie Altherr and her husband Dave will be performing at the Farmer’s Market in Boitanio Park today, Friday, July 27. They will give two half-hour concerts, one at 10 a.m. and the other at noon and play music from Debbie’s new CD throughout the day. Debbie has been busy over the past couple of years writing and recording songs and recently released her first CD called Allison Altherr Casitaville. She chose to use her middle name on the CD because she was meeting so many Debbies in her musical travels that it became confusing. Casita means little home or cottage in Spanish. “Casitaville is my name for the little gypsy trailer I ‘homesteaded’ in backyards, on city streets, in fields and even the occasional gravel pit,” Debbie explains on the CD cover. “It’s the nest I occupied while on adventure travelling from British Columbia to Arizona, exploring the different genres of music I love. To me Casitaville defines home, free-
dom, euphoria and the state of mind in which I found my passion for songwriting. “Life in Casitaville afforded me the time to reflect and weave the varied chapters of my life into the lines of songs. This album, is a collection of some of those songs along with a few old favourites.” The songs are a little bit country and a little bit blues, but all
in a lovely clear vocal range. Debbie says she worked hard to make sure every sound came across in the recordings as she needed them to be. Debbie and Dave had a ranch in the Chilcotin for many years and are now sharing their time between winters in Arizona and a smaller ranch at McLeese Lake.
See us for all your beauty needs
Debbie trains herding dogs for ranchers using her own sheep and also uses fibre from sheep, goats, dogs and even horses to incorporate into her fibre art, which includes creating unique felt hangings and felt boots. Many of her fibre art pieces portray the flora and fauna of regions where she has resided over the years from the Arctic to southern Arizona.

BC waterski championships this weekend Chimney Lake will be the site of the B.C Water Ski Provincials taking place on July 28 and 29. Parnell Pinette, an organizer and competitor, says roughly 50 people from as far north as Prince George and as far south as Vancouver Island are competing. Locals include Parnell, his 12-year-old son Conley, Brian Doering, and Brent Graham. Age categories range from boys and girls up to men and women over 35. The event, organized by the Pinettes and B.C. Water Ski Provincials, received a $2,500 grant earlier this year from the Ministry of Community, Sport, and Cultural Developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hosting B.C. program and further funding from several other local sponsors.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;What that does is helps us bring all of our stuff up to the calibre it needs to be, to be a sanctioned event,â&#x20AC;? Parnell says. All of the events take skill, and maybe a little luck, too. For example, Parnell says that in the slalom ski event, there is a sixbuoy course, and each time a competitor is successful through the course, the speed increases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eventually, they start to shorten the rope each time,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gets harder and harder to get through â&#x20AC;Ś until you fall.â&#x20AC;? Conley, who has been waterskiing for the last five years, has moved up to the under-14 age division, setting a new Canadian record for the under 14 boys jump in the Can-am in Blaine,

WA. His distance was 117 feet, beating the previous record of 113 feet. And he came home with a gold metal, so he is off to a good start heading into the B.C. Water Ski Provincials at Chimney Lake.

A dryer and the attached vent system require regular cleaning and maintenance. Lack of such regular cleaning and maintenance has been identiďŹ ed as causing ďŹ res. Improper dryer venting also poses a carbon monoxide risk on gas supplied dryers. The dryer vent system removes moisture and the gas by-products from your appliance to the outdoors. When a dryer/venting system is clogged with lint, air ďŹ&#x201A;ow is restricted, your dryer then has to work harder which leads to overheating. As the dryer ducts remove lint and moisture from clothes, not all of the lint is captured by the screen or makes it to the outdoors; this builds up on the sides of the vent system and eventually dries to a hard material. This material attracts more lint, where it eventually creates a restriction that leads to overheating, potentially resulting in a ďŹ re. It is recommended that dryers and all fuel burning appliances are maintained or serviced on an annual basis at least, or as per the CertiďŹ ed Appliance instructions by a Licensed, QualiďŹ ed Gas Contractor.

News
Bard of Barkerville returns for Wells concert Many people in the Cariboo know Ross Douglas for his nine years as musical director, actor and songwriter at Theatre Royal in Barkerville. During that time Ross also wrote some of the most poignant, funny and honest songs about life in the community of Wells and the Cariboo in general. His songs may be set in the recent past or the present, but they still carry a timeless message. To the rest of the world Ross Douglas lives in Vancouver, has produced three independent CDs, acted, wrote and sang in such hits as Billy Bishop Goes To War, Angry Housewives, Rocky Horror Show and more. In addition, he’s won international awards for his jazz, folk, and roots song-writing skills, and has fans in 115 countries around the world. The Bear’s Paw Cafe will host Ross Douglas for what has become his annual visit to Wells, on Saturday, July 28 at 7:30 p.m. at the outdoor stage. His live shows are a fabulous blend of a wide variety of musical genres. They are played on an equally varied collection of musical instruments, from keyboard to mandolin. In addition, he interjects history, comedy, and theatre in a show that is guaranteed to please crowds. Ross is promising to play a wide selection of his Cariboo favourites, including the gold standard of song-writing ... Wells, from his second album Cariboo Eclectic. This song describes Wells in its heyday in the 1930s. The lyric: “I’d rather be a miner with a smell, than a disinfected hobo begging nickels in Quesnel,” is just part of a tender and romantic ballad, written to describe the heyday of Wells during the Dirty 30s. Kokanee Canary Canoe, a Gold Award and Grand Jury winner in the 25th annual Mid-Atlantic Song Contest is another tune that is actually inspired by a fishing trip on Bowron Lakes. Ross’s third album, The Art of You and I, has received more airplay around the world and
features even more songs about life and Ross’s own varied experience, including the folk/country feel-good hit Love. Dave Jorgenson, owner of the Bear’s Paw notes: “We’re thrilled to have Ross returning to our venue. “It doesn’t really matter whether it’s a song with local flavour or any other tune, Ross’s crafts-
manship and shownmanship bulge out from his performances, and really make his performances special.” The Bear’s Paw Cafe, in Wells, hosts a variety of musical and theatrical events throughout the year. The Ross Douglas show is just part of a oneweek performance series that also features Linda
McRae on Thursday, Aug. 2, and four days of music as one of the open venues for Artswells Music Festival starting on Friday, Aug. 3. To enjoy what is bound to be another great night in the Bear’s Paw concert season on Saturday, July 28, phone 1-866-9942345 to make a reservation or get more information.

Join the Williams Lake Food Policy Council, in partnership with the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre, on Saturday, July 28 in breaking ground on the new Memory Garden Community Garden site. It has been years in the making, but we are now ready to start building the garden. The Williams Lake Food Policy Council partnered with the leadership class at Williams Lake Senior Secondary School, and came up with the plan to create a large community garden near the school. The WLSS students have named the community garden space The Memory Garden. “The WL leadership students wanted to make a difference in the community,” states teacher Dena Baumann, “in memory of people they had lost that had inspired and made a difference in their lives.” The Memory Garden Community Garden space is 25,000-square feet and therefore will be large enough to incorporate a variety of features to demonstrate
methods of growing food in our region. “At present, the plans for the space include over 50 individual raised-bed garden plots, two greenhouses, a community compost centre, community root cellar, public access fruit trees and berry bushes and xeriscape garden” says Cody Slinn, food action co-ordinator. Over the years, the Food Policy Council has created an extensive network of volunteers, local businesses, schools, and non-profits, and has built strong partnerships with the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre, the City of Williams Lake, the Cariboo Regional District, Interior Health, ThompsonNicola United Way, the Williams Lake and District Credit Union and our local media. It is thanks to all these individuals, organizations and businesses that the Memory Garden Community Garden is breaking ground this month. Organizers invite everyone to attend the ground-breaking work party on Saturday, July 28, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Come ready to dig in, lend a hand, or meet other people interested

Military vehicle historical convoy to visit lakecity Western Command Military Vehicle Historical Society (WCMVHS) supported by Veterans Affairs will be convoying with approximately 20 personnel and 10 to 15 vehicles from the Vancouver and Edmonton areas to Fairbanks this summer between July 27 and Aug. 19 says
convoy co-ordinator John Hawthorne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goals are to raise public awareness and remembrance of our veterans as well as to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Alaska Highway,â&#x20AC;? Hawthorne says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We plan to visit several legions and communities along our
route from Vancouver by displaying our old vehicles and equipment to the veterans and general public.â&#x20AC;? He says legions to be visited include Ashcroft, Clinton, 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, Quesnel, Prince George, Chetwynd, Dawson Creek, Fort St John, Whitehorse and
Delta. Several other communities include Fort Nelson, Muncho Lake, Watson Lake, Teslin, Haines Junction, Beaver Creek, Delta Junction, and Fairbanks. He say the club has had extensive convoy experience over the past several years visiting legions in commu-
nities from the interior of B.C., Vancouver Island and Washington State. Western Command is not part of the much larger U.S.-led Military Vehicle Preservation Society (MVPA) Convoy that will be departing from Dawson Creek on Aug. 4, Hawthorne says.

Art route program provides exposure for artists Artists in the region have a new and exciting opportunity to become part of developing a new Central Cariboo Art Route, says Leah Selk, Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society coordinator. The project is sponsored by the arts and culture society with the support of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association and the Cariboo Regional District, Selk says. It
is supported financially by the Community Tourism Opportunities (CTO) program under the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation. Participation is open to artists living in the Central Cariboo areas of Williams Lake and Cariboo Regional District areas D, E, and F and who are willing to open up part of their home or a building on their property to display their art and
practice. “The Central Cariboo Art Route is an opportunity to develop the arts sector and showcase the region’s artists and artisans,” Selk says. “Through a yearround, self-guided tour, locals and visitors alike will have the chance to connect with artists at work and gain a deeper sense of their practice.” She says the program is designed to provide
increased market exposure and revenue generated for local artists through direct sales and/or post-visit shipping orders, along with increased visits and sales to local galleries and cafes, has the potential to transform our resource dependent economy to a diversified economy, rich in artistic talent. Non-profit and business participation, also located within the Central Cariboo, is
available to galleries, museums, artist collectives, or commercial spaces primarily focused on displaying local art for artists/artisans. Participation fees allow for the inclusion of a photo or image and a write-up in the 2013 Central Cariboo Art Route brochure, which will be available online and at participants’ studios, galleries, and cafes. She noted inclusion
is limited to 25 participants for 2013. She adds the art route program strives for a balanced representation of mediums and locations through the Central Cariboo region and as such organizers can’t guarantee that all applications will be accepted. The application deadline is Oct. 1 at 4 p.m. Application forms and information on the fee structure is avail-
able at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre (90 Fourth Ave. North, Williams Lake), on the CCACS website at www.centralcaribooarts.com, or via e-mail from artroute@ centralcaribooarts. com. For more information contact Maureen LeBourdais, Fraser Basin Council and Central Cariboo Art Route co-ordinator, at artroute@centralcaribooarts.com.
Reflective address signs aid first responders The Williams Lake Lions Club is teaming up with local area fire departments to promote and sell reflective address signs that will make it easier for emergency personnel to find homes in emergencies. In an emergency when every second counts, firefighters, police or medical emergency services may lose critical time if they cannot locate your home, explains the Lions Club application form. Despite recent advances in technology and improvements in 911 emergency dispatch systems, there is a marked difference for emergency personnel in being directed to an address and actually locating the resi-
dence. In an emergency, time lost trying to locate the correct driveway can have a tragic result. You can help assure that you receive emergency assistance in the shortest possible time by properly displaying large highly reflective house numbers. Signs that are not reflective or right beside the road may not be seen, especially at night or in bad weather conditions. The Lions Club has arranged to supply the reflective signs at a cost of $15 for a single-sided sign and $25 for double-sided sign. The signs are eight inches high by 16 inches wide and made of engineer-grade aluminum with five-inch,
Garden Centre Clearance
high black numbers on a white, highly reflective background. These signs are quite easily seen in the daytime and at night, as well as during adverse weather conditions. Purchase applications for the signs are available at Clarke’s General Store in Horsefly, 150 Mile House Husky Lotto Centre, and Valley General Store in Likely. In Williams Lake the signs can be pur-
chased at Burgess Plumbing, Cool Clear Water, Schickworks and SpeedPro Signs. Applications must be made by Sept. 15 with cheques made payable to the Williams Lake Lions Club. Signs should be ready for distribution by the end of September and the Lions Club will contact purchasers to arrange for pick-up and arrange to help with installing the signs if assistance is needed. Proceeds from the
sign venture will be shared equally between the Williams Lake Lions Club and local volunteer fire departments. The reflective signs should be placed in the yard at the end of the driveway, high enough to be above snow in winter and
weeds in summer, and far enough back from the main road not to be hit by a snowplow or obscured by thrown snow or mud. The signs should be placed in locations clearly visible from a distance of 50 meters. More information is available on the sign
application forms. People who have questions about the program or need assistance installing the signs can call Lions Bob or Eleanor Donker 250-620-0503, Lion Lional Burnier 250398-5297 or your local volunteer fire department.

Obituaries
Robert MacKenzie 1933 - 2012
Robert Douglas MacKenzie passed away on July 16, 2012. Bob was born November 5, 1933 in Langley, BC and grew up working on his family farm as well as other local farms until he became a Millwright and worked in local sawmills and the logging industry. After running his own welding and auto businesses in Fort Langley he had mastered his knack for being able to fix anything with nothing and still have materials left over for the next job, Bob and his wife Anne developed a love for American Shetland ponies, as well as cart and harness making. Bob and Anne moved to the Interior where Bob spent most of his adult life ranching, mechanicing, farming and leather making in the Williams Lake area at Riske Creek, as well as the Armstrong and Enderby areas. Through 42 years of marriage Bob and Anne were apart no more than a dozen days or so and were inseparable partners until Anne passed away in 2006. Bob was a wonderful lifelong friend to many. Bob had a huge heart and a very kind spirit. He was always looking for ways to help others. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and his family Mike and Jessie Wallis, but can now rest in peace with his beloved wife, Anne, whom he never stopped missing. A memorial service will be held in Armstrong on August 25, 2012 at 2:00 pm at the Odd Fellows Hall. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Canadian Cancer Society. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoenings.com Cremation entrusted to Schoening Funeral Service, Kamloops, 250-374-1454.

Reinhold William (Bill) Molzahn May 25, 1931 - July 17, 2012
It is with sadness that the families of Bill announce his f passing, at the age of 81, at p the Williams Lake Seniors t Village. V Born in Ellscott, Alberta, Bill worked many years at Gibraltar w Mines before retiring in 1996. M He H spent his retirement years in i Horsefly, in great peace, with his h wife Marjorie. Together they travelled in their trailer and t sailed on numerous cruises, s exploring life together while ensuring unbreakable bonds with their families - the Redekopps, McIntyres and Molzahns. It will remain typically romantic that Bill passed only nine short days after his beloved wife, Marj. Bill was pre-deceased by his sister Elsa, brother Richard, wife Marjorie, son Daniel, step-son Darren and daughter-inlaw Joanne. He leaves behind a long list of adoring family and friends including many grandchildren and great grandchildren. At his request no Service will be planned. For those wishing to honour Bill’s memory, donations may be made to the Williams Lake S.P.C.A., or the charity of your choice. If If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream - and not make your dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them “Hold on!” If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, ‘Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And - which is more - you’ll be a Man, my son.
