Teachers prepare for a new year Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Around 100 local kindergarten to grade 12 teachers were back in school this week participating in the Williams Lake Summer Institute held at Williams Lake Secondary School Aug. 27 and 28. Organized by six School District 27 teachers — the two-day event focussed on literacy and numeracy, featuring local teachers presenting as well as two major presenters from out of town. It was the first summer institute in a few years, said one of the organizers, Lori Kelly. “In September of last year we said we needed to do a summer institute. We looked at who we wanted to have present.” Literary presenter Adrienne Gear had been sought after to come to Williams Lake for four years, so when she was able to confirm coming on Aug. 27, organizers booked her. They then looked for a numeracy person to match the direction
the district is going in, and found Carole Fullerton. “We contacted Carole and she was able to come the next day and that’s what started the plans moving forward,” Kelly explained. Because the organizers wanted to offer session for K-12, the days were split up into K-5 and 6-12 strands. “While the K-5 teachers were with the keynote speakers, the 6-12 teachers were in other pods working with local presenters. When the 6-12 teachers were with the keynote speakers, the K-5 teachers were in other pods. That’s the way we worked it,” Kelly said. Feedback on the institute was positive. Claudia Bauman, teacher at Voyageur Elementary School in Quesnel, described the presenters as “great.” “I think the institute has been helpful to a lot of teachers because our eyes have been opened up to different ways of teaching. It’s hard to get professional development opportunities in the Cariboo, so it’s
been nice to be able to attend something local,” Bauman said. Marie Sharpe Elementary School teacher Cecilia Harry was filling out her evaluation of the morning session and said she was going to tick off “outstanding.” “It’s been really well organized and I think the fact they split it up between K-5 and 6-12 was great.” The Tribune sat in during Fullerton’s K-5 presentation Tuesday afternoon, as she encouraged the teachers to create math questions that engage a diversity of learners. Touching her belly she said math is that thing that sits in your belly, often bringing back childhood memories of struggling with math. She challenged the teachers to bring students into “thinking” about math, not just “playing with math.” “We’ve graduated kids for decades who can’t think about math. We haven’t thought about math enough,” she said. Engaging the teachers, she encouraged many conversations amongst the teachers.
They talked about what’s working well and what the challenges are. Teachers said games work well for teaching new concepts, but keeping math tools in control is a challenge. When it comes to good math questions, the teachers agreed they are meaningful and relevant, they engage diversity, or require thought. “The challenge of the question is the engaging part. Good questions support diversity and engage more learners,” Fullerton said. Fullerton told the Tribune the teachers were “rabid” for professional development and she noticed they are coming from such a variety of classroom situations. Kelly admitted people wanted more time with the major presenters, but they also understood organizers were trying to cover everybody in a short amount of time. On Monday four booksellers were there.

Timing great for seminar Continued From Page A1 James McCann from Kidsbooks in Vancouver did book talks on books that matched with presentations made by Gear and Fullerton. Vernon Teach and Learn, United Library Services from Vancouver and Scholastic were also there.
“Monday was the big day. The literacy day was the bigger of the two, just by nature of the beast because I think literacy is broader than numeracy,” Kelly explained. Timing worked well because teachers were already back in the classroom setting up and thinking about the year ahead. “Monday, Aug. 27
was the only day that Adrienne had free and Carole happened to have the next day free. The stars were aligned — so that’s how it all worked. “We’re actually meeting today to talk about next year because it went so well,” Kelly said Wednesday

Art Walk a big summer community booster Willie Dye Special to The Tribune Art Walk 2012 has passed its mid-way point and by all accounts merchants and artists alike are extremely happy with the results. There have been many walkers and your Art Walk Committee hopes that the final two weeks will also finish strong. The new program of silent auctions is working very well. Over half of the artists have items up for bid and close to 90 per cent of these have received a bid that exceeds their minimum. Quite a number of other pieces of art work have also been sold. Long-term health of the Art Walk depends on both the artists and merchants doing well. The next special event
is Dress Up Day on Thursday, Sept. 6. Merchants, artists and the walkers are encouraged to dress up as clowns, bike riders, motor cyclists, police, doctors, nurses, artists, cowboys, loggers, nuns, butcher, baker, candlestick maker, book worm, plumber, miner, monk, knights, priests or anything else that catches their fancy. This is your art walk and your involvement in this event will only make it better. The art walk officially ends at 3 p.m. on Sat. Sept. 8. Ballots will be collected and the winners of the most popular merchant and artists awards will be tabulated. Because it is an Olympic year gold, silver and bronze medals will be given out in each category.

Boitanio Mall not closing and is not for sale Boitanio Mall Manager Jeanette Tuerlings and the mall owners issued a statement Tuesday dispelling rumours circulating in the community that the mall is closing or being sold. “We have heard many comments and rumours
about the merchants and businesses at Boitanio Mall in Williams Lake,” Tuerlings says. “The rumour about Boitanio Mall being torn down and re-developed into senior and low-cost housing is not true. “The Boitanio Mall is
not closing. “The Boitanio Mall has not been sold and is not for sale.” Tuerlings says the landlord, Janda Group, is actively working on securing a new anchor tenant to replace Zellers that is scheduled to
close next year in March 2013. She says the existing merchants will continue to serve the shoppers of Williams Lake and the surrounding area. “The landlord and management have an obligation to our mer-
chants and the shopping public to maintain a welcoming, safe and comfortable shopping experience,” Tuerlings says. “With the continued support of the stakeholders, merchants and shoppers we will be able to renew the
shopping centre into a dynamic and unique location in the heart of the city.” Tuerlings says the owners and management welcome leasing inquiries. To get more information on leasing a com-
mercial retail unit please contact Jeanette Tuerlings at the mall administration office 250-3924169 for a tour of spaces and leasing rates. “We offer competitive rental rates at fair market value to qualified lessees,” Tuerlings says.
City’s summer student off to Trinity Western University Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The city’s summer student Erik Groenenberg gave his final report to council and staff at its committee meeting of the whole Aug. 28. Going into his second year of engineering at Trinity Western University, Groenenberg spent the summer doing city mapping work. “This mapping project has been going on for several
years now. The previous students have gone over the entire city between them, finding, surveying and mapping water boxes and sewer cleanouts/inspection chambers, as well as reporting any that are broken or buried,” Groenenberg said in his report, adding the work ensures quick access if needed and provides a valuable map of the city’s water and sewer infrastructure. During his stint at the job, Groenenberg revisited water
boxes and sewer cleanouts/inspection chambers that were not previously recorded. He kept records of everything he encountered and noted what records were available. “I am also surveying and mapping saddle valves on South Lakeside Drive and Pigeon Avenue as they are replaced by contractors,” he said in his report. Groenenberg told council overall it’s been a good experience working for the city.
“Working with people with water and sewer systems, and understanding how the whole system works has been interesting. Trying to deal with people as you dig up their front lawns has also been a learning experience,” he said, adding he found people are intrigued to find out how the systems works in connection with their own properties. When asked if he will return to work for the city next summer, Groenenberg said
students can only work in that summer student position once. “I probably won’t be coming back in that capacity, but in the future maybe,” he added. In his report, Groenenberg said summer students hired by the city will gradually map everything from electrical systems to city benches in order to have electronic records that track city infrastructure and property.

Mary Forbes Special to The Tribune I love my garden. I detest weeds and I resent the time it takes to water. But without the liquid the green misery (weeds) grow in abundance and my work of planting is all for naught as they shrivel and stunt in their thirsty state. Salvation from this toil came from the Williams Lake and District Credit Union, which awarded the Potato House a grant of $2,626, and our thankfulness is as plentiful as our weeds (may they quake in fear!) Recently the Potato House was pleased to provide a drip irrigation workshop at the 49 Borland St. house under direction of our local drip irrigation experts from Halls Organics. Like all projects first we had to stand around and discuss the merits, location, future applications and tiny details before any actual work could proceed. Our first main line for a raised bed with its tiny spaghetti lines took near an hour to build 12 feet. We are nothing if not creative at the Potato House. We quickly adjusted our technique and assembly line and built the remaining three

Instead of expending energy managing the fall-out from negative news and outdated perceptions, we're working to develop a strong placebrand for Williams Lake — something that has never really been done here. This is one way to help take control of our economic future and promote the quality of life we all enjoy. Over the next few months, the City of Williams Lake is undertaking a placebranding initiative that will give citizens and businesses an opportunity to help craft a brand that is meaningful and inspiring to us all — and, we need your input. Learn about the branding project and find out how to give us your input:

had a great visit to Xat’sull Heritage Village Tuesday during their August celebration. It’s been a while since I’ve gone, and I was impressed by the beauty of the site, the large log shelter, and a beautiful new pithouse. I enjoyed From the meetMayor’s ing the Chair Heritage Kerry Cook Vi l l a g e workers, listening to the drumming, and eating some pit-cooked salmon! Heritage and culture are important, and I’m so happy to see the Secwepemc way of life explored and shared at the Heritage Village. Thanks so much for the generous hospitality! At last week’s Cariboo Regional District board meeting, Spanish Mountain Gold gave an update on the proposed gold mine near Likely. The exciting news is that there will be public meetings coming in October. This is a great opportunity to come and learn about the proposed project and ask questions. The company spent $1.2 million with local vendors in 2011, and is in the pre-application phase of the environment assessment process. The mine would employ 260 people for a 10 to 15 year lifespan. This is a tremendous opportunity for our region. Another mining update: Gibraltar has hit the 600-employee mark, with 120 new jobs added so far this year, with another 80 jobs to fill. A statement from the owners of Boitanio Mall are putting to rest some rumours: it is not for sale and there are no plans to close it. It is always good news to dispel rumours and uncertainty. I will continue to work with the Boitanio Mall manager and owners to ensure its success. I wish everyone a great long weekend as we transition into fall and the busy school year.

Students return to school School is back in session next week and with the end of summer break we remind motorists to take extra care as children are out and about coming and going excitedly to class. Teachers will be in schools on Tuesday, Sept. 4 but students don’t return until Wednesday, Sept. 5, then only for a half day. Students will be in school prior to 9 a.m. for grade assemblies and home room registration, and will be released for the day at approximately 11:30 a.m. so be on the look-out for students and school buses earlier than usual. Going back to school can be
an exciting time for children but in many cases a trying time for parents coping with growing children needing new clothes, shoes, and of course the all important school supplies. In this tougher than usual economy some parents may be struggling to fill these obligations. People with a little extra money to spare can help out these parents by supporting the Staples School Supply Drive and the Salvation Army’s school supplies program.

Cattle Weather history Fodder ( p a s t Liz Twan events) can aid us in choosing where to live, pour a foundation and put down roots; there are better and worse places. At this moment (for example) the Gulf-coast stands out as a poor choice as we see its beleaguered citizens battle the elements in another hurricane force storm system. Oh, my, we could use some rain, but we could certainly do without its travelling partners; the torrential (flooding) downpours and damaging 100-plus kilometre-an-hour winds. It appears that you have to square off with the devil every now and again, as a trade-off for residence in heaven, the rest of the time! Regional drought has left a marked impression on range/grass lands here in the Cariboo, readily evident as one views roadside pastures/grazing areas throughout the region. Most look well-grazed, and are brown/ burned-off in appearance, in some places multitudes of grasshoppers abound and there is no saving grace in any form other than precipitation which must arrive very soon to generate any sort of re-growth before fall colours appear in earnest. As native forage dwindles and the feeling of fall creeps into evening/ early-morning, instinct propels the cow herd homeward, so beware of those cattle on road-sides. The glorious summer heat and minimal precipitation has shrivelled lateseason berry crops; as a result the bears are coming earlier - to a yard near you. There have been three separate night-raids in my backyard orchard (two apple trees). I know they’re hungry bears - but I wish they could learn to pick apples without bustin’ all the branches!

More Viewpoints Question of the week Taseko Mines explains What do you think of employment projections the art covered utility Editor: In a letter published in your Aug. 21 edition “How would New Prosperity create 70K jobs?� contributor Pat Teti poses a question about how we arrived at our conclusions about the employment potential of the New Prosperity Gold-Copper Project. The employment potential of New Prosperity comes from a 2011 report developed by the Centre for Spatial Economics (C4SE), a firm who has previously developed fiscal forecasts for the Canadian Department of Finance. In the New Prosperity C4SE report, a macroeconomic approach is taken in which the cumulative impacts of the project are projected over the course of the mine’s 20-year operation life. It is a comprehensive estimate
of the economic and fiscal impact of the project’s development. New Prosperity will contribute $11 billion to British Columbia’s Real GDP. Based on that significant contribution to our provincial economy, an analysis of increased employment considered not just the number of jobs directly created by the mine itself, but also the jobs created by economic growth in B.C., stimulated by New Prosperity, over the course of two decades. The report indicates that “the increase in GDP leads to an average annual difference in employment of three thousand. “On a full-time equivalent basis, the cumulative difference of 71 thousand workers represents about 57 thousand person years of employment added to the economy.
This additional amount suggests that for every one person year of employment created directly by New Prosperity an additional five person years of employment are created in the province.� Reports, such as this, are very beneficial in helping to put into perspective exactly what is at stake for our province with the advancement of the New Prosperity Gold-Copper Project. The positive impacts of the project reach far beyond the number of employees that will work at the mine. Readers who wish to learn more about the New Prosperity GoldCopper are encouraged to visit newprosperityproject.ca Sincerely, Brian Battison, VP Corporate Affairs, Taseko Mines
The time is now to act for equality, peace and sustainability Editor: Beyond common autocratic dominant/submissive relationships derived from attitudes of superiority and inferiority ... there is the democratic “psyche.� Its psychological spirit/soul “sees� a “better� world of mutually respectful social relationships in community ... for social equality, justice, peace, and sustainability for all. Democracy bestows on all ... status as social equals.  For oligarchs, plutocrats, aristocrats ... growing social inequality based on superior/inferior relationships is a “new� norm.  The power/elite monetarily controls democracy’s ballot booth, legislatures, supreme courts ... over/against “social� interest and welfare of “common� people ... for elevated private “elite� interests.  This “norm� is anti-democratic. Of the top 10 richest global
LETTERS ALWAYS WELCOME
corporations ... seven are oil corporations led by Shell Oil in the Arctic.  They have massive “wealth� to secure provincial/national/global government subsidies to add (tarsand/shale oil/gas/pipelines) to their fossil/fuel “wealth.� ... with our abetting (Harper/Redford/ Clark/Mulcair/unions/pensions/ jobs/gov’t revenues...etc.). Overly powerful fossil-fuel energy growth industry block legal “limitations� of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.  Toxic consequences of “unlimited� GHG emissions fit the definition of “pathological pursuit of profit and power (the 4P’s)� described by Joel Bakan (University of British Columbia).  “3P’s for “4P’s is deadly. For the power/elite “owning� enough fossil-fuel reserves ($trillions+) ... sufficient to destroy civilization globally is madness.  Their monetary “control� over political parties...governments... people...allows more oil/gas/coal
development in the Arctic...to add to their already lethal reserves. It is MAD (mutually assured destruction). Human “induced� global warming moves beyond human control.  We need an 80 percent “reduction� of GHG emissions by 2020 ... to keep global temperatures “safely?� below an “unacceptable� 2 C by 2030.  A “safer� goal is a 1.5C limit. Humanity is “blocked� by mega-fossil fuel interests ($trillions-plus) to abandon fossil fuels as humanity’s energy base. Humanity needs to invest in “carbon free� energy as the basis for  its economy.  Time is running out. The danger is real.  We have the ability to act ... democratically. Only a massive democratic effort can meet this challenge to humanity. Herb Nakada Williams Lake

NEWS Fine produce grows in Horsefly despite cool spring Gigi Krumsiek took the flower power honours. Lori Morhart was big in preserves and baking. Robi Campbell took honours in photography and produce. Maureen Chappell
Bruce MacLeod Special to The Tribune The 37th annual Horsefly Fall Fair was a resounding success. Thanks to great organization by the combined efforts of the fall fair association executives Gigi Krumsiek, Lil Manuel, and Kris Kenny, and the directors Robi Campbell, Maureen Chappell, Ellie Seelhof, Kristen Walker, Sandy McNie, Paul Hearsey, and MaryLou Barker everything ran like clockwork. Bud and Sandy Weir, with daughter Kim, were on hand with their team of matched Suffolk Punch horses, Wrangler and Levi, two of only 25 in British Columbia. They gave free wagon rides to anyone who wanted one, and were busy all the time they were here. Bud and Sandy own the Cariboo Carriage business on Spokin Lake Road, and we are indebted to them for their time and efforts. Because of the 4-H Club annual sale in Williams Lake, the livestock exhibition wasn’t heavily represented, but
took honours in the quilting category. Corrine Stromsten took some portrait honours. Sue Goglin and Kristina Mary took prizes in other categories related to baking, as well as
Lori Morhart and Vickie Windeler. Best of show in the wine category went to Bruce MacLeod. All in all it was a fine fair, and I am already looking forward to next year.

Fall fairs are always exciting for children especially if they have an opportunity to interact with the animals. Here Calla Reynolds helps to feed a little pony on display last weekend at the Horsefly Fall Fair. The annual Horsefly Salmon Festival is coming up this weekend. the lack of quantity was made up by quality. There were some fine goats, dogs, horses, and other pets represented. The first order of business for the fair was the announcement by John Hollan, president of the Horsefly Community
Club, of the Horsefly Citizen of the Year. This year we had a tie between two welldeserved recipients, Chris Gruhs and Frank Wijma. It is unbelievable considering the cold spring and late start on
the growing season how much fine produce was displayed by the local gardeners. Among the different categories of competition the same names kept cropping up. Sharon Godfrey took top produce honours.

“They call the Cariboo home” Liz Twan: photographer with heart for cowboys Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Self-taught, self-taught, selftaught — the words roll off Liz Twan’s tongue like a litany when she’s asked where she got her start as a photographer. “I’ve always taken photos. As my boys got older, I had a few spare dollars to get better cameras and could devote more time to learn how to use them.” Born and raised in Williams Lake, Twan recalls taking pictures of anything and everything, and as her sons — Willee and Jesse — grew older it was of the sports they were doing, mainly rugby and rodeo. Her father Lee Skipp was a lawyer in Williams Lake. He arrived in Williams Lake to article and met Twan’s mom, Mary Latin. “There’s a street in town named after my grandpa,” Twan says. Unwilling to relocate when her parents moved away when she was in Grade 11, Twan remained in the lakecity to complete Grade 12 with friends rather than in the big city. She attended university with the intent of becoming a teacher, studying English, Political Science, History and Fine Arts. However, during one summer, she had a job with parks and recreation at a day camp. The experience made her realize she might not have the patience to be stuck inside a classroom full time. On one of her summers home, she met her future husband, Bronc Twan. Today she and Bronc run the Alkali Lake Ranch, where Bronc has lived all his life. As she’s evolved as a photographer, she’s noticed she sees things differently. A smaller scene within a bigger one, she explains. “I look for something a little bit not normal. You can put
Monica Lamb-Yorski photo
Liz Twan with some of her work showing at Frame Creations by Bruce. five photographers in the same place and they’ll come up with something entirely different. Now I see that with my eye before I take the picture whereas before I would take the picture and go, ‘oh, I never noticed that.’” Besides, the cameras are so smart these days, she adds. “I’ll be the first to admit I’ll never know what my camera can do and I’ll never figure it all out. They are mini computers and they’re way smarter than people.” When people ask her for advice if they’ve purchased a new camera, she will tell them to let their camera do some of the thinking for them. “That’s what it’s for.” Last weekend Twan helped judge the 4-H photography contest in Williams Lake and admits it was a nightmare because there were so many good entries. “The kids have taken such quality photographs and choosing between them was next to impossible.” Twan figures she takes photographs almost every day, and
seldom leaves home without her camera. Even at home when she’s working on the ranch, she makes sure to bring it along. “Every time I don’t bring it I see something and think I wish I had my camera.” Her photography was first featured with her articles in the Williams Lake Tribune, and one garnered her the 2006 Ma Murray Community Newspaper Award Gold for featured colour photo, circulation under 10,000. It was a photograph of a jet flying over the moon in a blue sky at noon, taken while attending a branding. “My camera was hanging on the fence because I was waiting for the branding to start and thought that jet’s going to fly right over the moon in a dead blue sky. The moon was white of course and the jet looked white and the jet trail and I thought how stupid are you, your camera’s hanging on the fence. I ran and I just made it,” she chuckles, adding it was actually blind dumb luck, but she recognized the opportunity.
Her photographs have been selected for the Williams Lake Stampede poster in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and recently she was at the World Hereford Conference in Olds, Alta. in mid-July, where some of her photographs were exhibited in the international hospitality room. “It was neat because visitors were from all over the world.” Like most photographers, she’s progressed from simple point and shoot technology, up the line in SLRs and then from digital point and shoot to digital SLRs. She admits to being frustrated when she felt the camera wasn’t taking the image she was seeing. “It had already happened by the time you clicked. As soon as I could afford it I bought a camera that could shoot instantly. Point and shoot takes good pictures, but that delay when you actually put your finger down and it takes the pictures means you miss what you were aiming for.” Her cameras are three different Nikons and she prefers her older one for her working
cowboy pictures from long distances. It seems to work better with her bigger lens. She normally has the three going at once so she can shoot whatever is there, and doesn’t miss things by having to change a lens. Shooting Stampedes is an enjoyable challenge Twan suggests. “I enjoy trying to get a good action rodeo shot. You’re always improving. Every year I go there and think I’ve done OK and then I get a little better the next year and realize I’m learning some new tricks.” Over the years she’s learned vantage points for photographing at Stampedes. Lots of times location is everything, she adds. Aside from the rodeo events, paying attention to what’s going on around the rodeo is also fun. All photography is a huge challenge she muses. “Sometimes you cannot always make your camera get what you see because you don’t have the skills to operate that silly computer in there.” Photoshop is something she uses, however, with her working cowboy photography she takes pride in “as is” results. She might make a slight adjustment to the colour if it has to be endorsed somewhere, or for sun being in the wrong place to lighten something to make a face more visible, but those cases are rare. “I do a lot of cropping though. Lots of times you have to shoot something you don’t like because with live cattle and horses you cannot get close enough to get exactly what you want without other things getting in the way. Cropping is used a lot in my working cowboy photos, other wise I wouldn’t be allowed back.” Twan’s 2012 Artwalk and Sale exhibit is at Frame Creations by Bruce until Sept. 8.

Lakers sail to year-end title Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Lakers added another feather in their ball caps Sunday at the Esler Sports Complex, winning the Williams Lake Slo-Pitch League Year End Tournament â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; division title after finishing atop the regular season standings. The Lakers defeated the Rowdies in the final, 19-8, after losing to them earlier in the tournament and having to play through the back door to advance to the championship game. Linda Barbondy, league president and Rowdies captain, said the difference was in the batterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s box. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They batted and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? Barbondy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much all it came down to.â&#x20AC;? En route to the finals the Lakers beat the NDNZ in the quaterfinal and the Rookies in the semifinal, while the Rowdies downed the Beer-O-Crats and the Lakers
to advance through the top side of the draw. In the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; division final it was the Brew Jays winning a close game over the Bears, 13-11, to win the championship. On the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side the Wild Chickens thumped Qweqi, 17-7, to take the crown, while in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final Those Guys beat the Sluggers, 15-2. The tournament began last Thursday with each of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20 teams playing two seeding games before a double-knockout playoff format ensued Saturday prior to Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The weather was great for the tournament,â&#x20AC;? Barbondy said, noting everything went smoothly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The year went well.â&#x20AC;? Barbondy said tickets will also be for sale for the upcoming year-end banquet at the Longhouse Sept. 15, featuring band Chilcotin Dreams, for $20 each. Year-end prizes and awards will be presented then.

SPORTS Points final going down to the wire Drivers competed with heavy hearts Saturday at Thunder Mountain Speedway during the annual Memorial Race. But after a fourcar paint swap during the first lap it was a clean sweep for No. 25 George Giesbrecht in the Bone Stock class. Giesbrecht took first place in the qualifying, trophy dash, heat and main event. Meanwhile, the No. 35 car driven by Jesse Fisher in the Thunder class followed suit sweeping all four races in his division, as well. Thunder Mountain executive member Lynn Dunford said Saturday’s results should make for some interesting matchups at the track’s next and final event. “It’s going to make for some fine racing on Sept. 8 at the Points Final Championship as now only one point separates Giesbrecht and the No. 66 driven by Sean Kelly in the Bone Stock,” she said. “Fisher is [also] closing the point spread on Tim Westwick’s No. 56 in the Thunders.” In the Heartland Toyota Pro Mini class it was

Standing strong to raise awareness Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer They ran and walked 55 kilometres from Alkali Lake to Williams Lake. All in honour and remembrance of their brother, Nick Paul. It was the first step to what Synthia Paul and Sidney Paul hope becomes an annual tradition in Williams Lake — the Standing Strong Walk/Run — to help raise awareness about childhood leukemia and childhood cancer. Nick, who turned 16 in March, lost his two-year battle with the disease on May 4 of this year. Through Synthia’s conversations with Nick they decided a walk to raise awareness and to
help others was something they wanted to do together. Synthia said this was their way of following through with Nick’s wishes and hopefully helping a family in need. “We just thought about putting awareness out there for childhood cancer and we thought maybe we’d walk together and whatever money we raised we’d donate to a family from Williams Lake in need,” Synthia said. “We’re going to give the money we raised to a little boy from Williams Lake who was diagnosed with liver cancer about a month ago.” The walk took place on Friday, Aug. 24 beginning at 9 a.m. and finished 11.5 hours later in
Williams Lake. Synthia, Sidney and others family members and friends who walked with them only took breaks for water and snacks when they needed them. For the final few kilometres Synthia and Sidney carried a large poster of Nick with them. During his fight with cancer, however, his dad James Paul said Nick never complained once. He only wanted to help other kids with the disease. “That was one of the things that our son wanted to do was to help other kids that were fighting and other families that were fighting cancer,” James said. “It was one of his things right from the start. He did it on his
own and told the doctors they could use his blood, anything they needed. “He said: ‘If we can’t cure mine at least help other children through-
out B.C. and Canada’ and that’s just how our son was.” Nick’s mom Zena Chelsea said the family plans to start a founda-
tion to help a family in need every year. James added he hopes to one year walk from Williams Lake to Vancouver to spread the awareness
even further. The family hopes next year, and in the years ahead, more people come together to take part in the walk.

families with school-age children take it as the last chance to travel before the end of summer. An old fashioned tradition in Canada bans the wearing of white after Labour Day. Explanations for this tradition vary; the most common is that white is a summer colour and Labour Day unofficially marks the end of summer. A Labour Day tradition is watching Canadian Football.

hibit hall looking at the colourful flowers and garden produce all neatly laid out for the judges and the amazing array of cakes, pies, glistening bottles of wine, canned fruit and vegetables, translucent honey, and home crafts such as quilts, photographs, knitted baby outfits, crocheted blankets, and delightful childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art. And a stroll through the animal barns usually turns up something unique such as a fancy rabbit or
unusual bird. The 36th Annual Williams Lake Harvest Fair is coming up Sept. 8 and 9 and organizers are encouraging people to enter their favorite things for exhibit and of course be there for all the fun, even if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an exhibit to share. Volunteering is another way people can enjoy the event. See BOOKLET Page A18
 Registration is now open for the 2012 Scotiabank and BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk coming up in September to raise funds for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals. Â

“We can always use some extra help,” says fair president Tammy Tugnum. “We have had several new members this year and that is why we have so many new things to do at the fair. “Fresh people, fresh perspective. We are striving to bring a quality event to everyone in Williams Lake and the Coast Chilcotin! Lots of fun, new things to see and do this year. New food vendors, new craft stuff for the kids, new entertainers and lots of favourites returning as well.” The fair takes place in most venues at Stampede Park. On the out-door stage next to the main exhibit hall in the Curling Club, Tugnum says they will be hosting local entertainers both days of the fair. The line up will feature Willow, Dynamic Downfall, Rachel Walker, Orin Barter, Nitehawks (CreeShu), Lava Lamps and magician Clinton W. Gray. The Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association is bringing their annual Chili Cook-Off to the Harvest Fair on Saturday, Sept. 8.

Cast needed for play A Skull in Connemara Auditions for a Director Curt Sprickerhoff is looking for three men and
one mature woman to play characters in A Skull in Connemara
by Martin McDonagh, Williams Lake Studio Theatre’s first play of the 2012/2013 season. The story takes place in a flyspeck of a town in Ireland’s fabled west, as four lonely, lovable misfits dig for the truth — and get so
much more. This side-splitting yarn conjures a macabre mystery packed with merriment, mayhem, and might-be murder that is as full of twists as a shillelagh and as haunting as a whistle in a grave-
yard. Auditions: Sept. 4 and 6, at 7 p.m. at the Studio Theatre. Play dates are Nov. 7 to 10 and 14 to 17. For more information, call director Sprickerhoff at 250392-6162
Reflective signs assist responders The deadline to purchase 911 reflective house number address signs from the Lions Club is fast approaching. Getting one before the deadline of Sept. 15 could mean saving a life. The Lower South Cariboo Lions initiated the project several years ago. This year, the Williams Lake Lions Club decided to get on board for Williams Lake and local, rural, and outlying areas so 911 emergency teams can be there quickly without losing
precious time timing to find those needing assistance. The Lions Club, in a press release, says it has received written and verbal endorsements from police, fire departments, and paramedics for this endeavor. “Stop and ask yourself, ‘can they find me quickly, especially at night and in bad weather conditions?’ Protect yourself and family from loss of critical time,” the release says. The signs are reflective anytime, day or night, but especially
at night and need to be mounted on a post or structure perpendicular to the road and be clearly visible about 50 metres from the entrance of your driveway. This allows emergency vehicles to see the signs at a distance from the road. More information is available on the sign application forms. For more information or assistance with installation call Lions Bob or Eleanor Donker at 250620-0503, Lion Lional Burnier at 250-3985297 or your local volunteer fire department.

MORTGAGE MESSAGE Use Home Equity to Your Advantage Canadians purchase homes for a variety of reasons. Some want the stability of owning their own home while others look at home ownership as an investment vehicle.
Erin Hitchcock photo
Michael Rawluk helps sort out props at a clean-up day held recently at the Studio Theatre in Glendale Elementary School.
PRESENTS
No matter what the reason, home ownership has proven itself to be a good, stable investment over time. While many people have chosen to purchase their first home during these times of lower interest rates, there has also been a large movement to refinance home loans and pull out equity for home improvements, investments, college expenses, and high interest debt consolidation. In years past many saw their homes as a long term shelter of safety. Yet today more than ever before people are willing to borrow against the equity they own in their homes to further their investment portfolios, get out of debt, send their children to university, make improvements to their home, or even boost their RRSP contributions.

Where home equity was once sat upon, today it is something to be used to one’s advantage. While tapping the equity in your home can be a good idea, you should do so with the understanding of the process. The best thing you can do is to consult a licensed mortgage broker and financial planner to discuss your opportunities to make your home’s equity work for you.

Round table prepares for Salmon Festival Bruce MacLeod Special to The Tribune Planning for the Horsefly Salmon Festival this weekend dominated talks at the Horsefly River Roundtable meeting in Horsefly Aug. 23. Brandi Ranger gave a report on the festival indicating the festival should have First Nations displays and demonstration of fish drying, smoking, and preserving. There will be bannock for sale and a booth explaining Inland Fisheries. Directional signage for the festival was also discussed. Posters are up everywhere and directional signage will start just after the Likely/Horsefly junction. The festival will feature Gyotaku, fish dissections, interpretive walks, etc. We are short on volunteers, and to that end Roy Argue from the
Gaeil Farrar photo
Judy Hillaby dissects and explains the biology of a salmon at last year’s festival. Department of Fisheries and Oceans will be available from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31 at or around the Horsefly library to give information and training to anyone who would like to be a river interpreter at the festival. Please feel free to come out and participate and promote this special time in history where the salmon repeat a cycle which began thousands of years ago, and despite overwhelming odds
against them, continues to this day. Other topics discussed at the August meeting included the Fraser Basin, Woodjam restoration project and other projects, the upcoming feature on the Round Table in the Cariboo Connector, and the salmon walk trail development strategy. We have received conveyor belting from Gibraltar Mines at McLeese Lake, and have it stored pending permission to use it.
We are going to install signs indicating no motorized vehicles (ATVs or dirt bikes) on the salmon walk trail, and possibly some preventative barriers to discourage using the trail as an alternate route to town. It was decided to combine all of the various restoration projects we have researched ($105,000), and have price estimates for, and seek funding from a variety of sources in conjunction with each other in order to enable all of the projects to proceed as quickly as time
and weather permit. One of the members present brought up an idea that Olleh Lazarchuk spoke about a few meetings ago regarding a onesubject flyer he would like to start, and has already got a circulation out once a month. His advertising has increased so he has expanded from two pages to eight pages or more. His next subject will be the importance of volunteers, or something of the sort, and will feature the Horsefly River Roundtable; for more
information go to www. caribooconnect.com The Roundtable extends an invitation to spend some time at our salmon festival this coming Labour Day weekend. The festival begins Friday evening, Aug. 31 with a family square dance in the community hall with Pharis and Jason Romero, Marin Patenaude and friends. Pharis will also give a singing workshop in the hall from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1 and Sunday Sept. 2 there will
be fish education activities for the whole family down at the river from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be crafts for kids, salmon and watershed information, fish dissection demonstrations, interpretive walks, Northern Shuswap traditional fish drying demonstrations, artisans and food vendors and the interesting Japanese method of fish counting using the Gyotaku art of fish printing. The next meeting will be at the Horsefly Library at 7 p.m. on Sept. 20.
NICA and CRD to host grant-writing workshop The Northern Interior Communities Association (NICA) and the Cariboo Regional District Grant Writer program will co-host a grant-writing workshop for community groups, organizations and charities from the Cariboo Chilcotin. The event will take place on Sept. 14 and 15, in the City of Williams Lake council chambers. The workshop and the one-on-one sessions are free and light refreshments will be available. On Friday, Sept. 14 from 7 to 9 p.m., NICA will provide a two-hour presentation on grant writing. Groups can also register for a 30-minute one-on-one session with NICA staff members, which will be held the following day, Sept. 15, between 9:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. The workshop will focus on how to write successful applications for the BC Community
Gaming Grants program and its current intake for the human and social services sector. The deadline for grant applications to this program is Nov. 30. The session will also provide valuable grant-writing basics which can be applied to all funding program applications. Community groups and organizations planning on attending are encouraged to bring along applications in progress, or previously completed submissions to receive feedback on how to improve their grant-writing techniques. Reservations are required before Sept. 10, by emailing grantwriter@cariboord.bc.ca or call the CRD at 250392-3351 or toll free 1-800-665-1636 and mention you are confirming your attendance for the grant-writer workshop.

sion and preferred time. Time slots are available on a first-come-firstserve basis.

SENIORS SCENE Elder College registration Sept. 5 Judy Jenkins Special to The Tribune
Elder College is ready for the fall semester, according to Barry Sale, curriculum committee chair. The first step is a membership sign-up at the Seniors Activity Centre on Wednesday,
Sept. 5, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Membership and course registration will follow a week later, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, at St. Andrew’s United Church. Elder College caters to those 50 years of age and older.
Courses are held during the day and are low in cost, Sale explained. New courses to be offered this fall include Travel Tips for Seniors, a course on iMovies and i-Photos, creative writing and photography. Returning favourites
include the Cariboo History Tour, Philosophers’ Café and two computer classes. Other courses include Origami, drawing and a self-discovery class on the i-Pad. Free community courses include genealogy, wealth management, life story
workshop and healthy living with chronic conditions. Registration is required for these courses. Final registration for the Elder College courses will be Wednesday, Sept. 19, at the Seniors’ Activity Centre, Sale said.
Seniors’ Centre gets new windows Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The Senior Citizens Activity Centre in Williams Lake is getting
new windows thanks to a $24,900 grant from a federal funding program. Earlier this year, the centre received the funds
from the New Horizons for Seniors Program, says manager Glenda Winger. Winger applied for the maximum grant of
$25,000 and says she’s happy the grant received is close to that amount. Project manager and owner/operator of BBG Construction Bryan Godin says work to upgrade all the windows in the building at the site began on Aug. 13. “We are replacing the wood-framed windows with a vinyl and new energy-efficient system. We’ll also seal every window with energyefficient foam, which stops any kind of leaks,”
Godin explains. “In the old days people used insulation, but once it’s compacted by a window frame it no longer works to stop cold air from entering.” As he removes the old windows, worker Mike Judd carefully places them in a pile against the front of the building. “One of our seniors is going to recycle some of them to make a greenhouse,” Winger says. Godin estimates the work will take a week.

Carl Edward Strand 1934 - 2012 The Strand family sadly announce we will be reuniting Carl Edward Strand (August 12, 1934 - August 19, 2012) with Judith Patricia Strand (May 25, 1940 - July 8, 1983). After 29 years of separation, we hope that now they can follow their hearts to freedom, happiness and peace. Predeceased by John (father), Mary (mother), Mildred (sister), Judy (wife), Sandy (brother-in-law), and other members of the family. He leaves his daughters Jo-Anne & Penny (Bart), grandchildren Emmanuel, Adrienne and Justin along with brothers and sisters Ed, Bob, Dean, Iona, Shirley, and Diane as well as brother/sisters-in-law Allan (Elva) and Lorna with a mother-in-law Victoria and plenty of nieces and nephews to say farewell with our loving arms together. Carl was not a person to stand on formalities or ceremonies and it is his wish that he be remembered as he was -- quiet, patient, loving and a determination to live life how he wanted to love it in PEACE ‘N’ HARMONY. Donations can be made either to the Cancer Foundation or to the Denny House in his memory.
