Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The slope edge is falling away from the Soda Creek Road in several places as it winds its way above the Williams Lake River Valley. Slow signs and orange pylons alert drivers to various spots along the road that are of concern. Chris Schwarzmaier lives 13.5 km up the road from city limits and says he’s frustrated about the state of the road. “There are three or four really dangerous spots, all on the downhill side. Lots of logging trucks are going out there and the traffic of the families that live out there,” he says. There is a section where a block wall was installed along the edge of the road to help reinforce the edge and provide stabilization. However, Schwarzmaier questions the logic of the work. Instead, he suggests, it would be better to dig into the hillside and widen the road that way. “They built a wall, but in the wintertime it will disappear. It does not make sense to me.” The Ministry of Transportation
Chris Schwarzmaier points out one of around a half a dozen portions of Soda Creek Road that is falling away on the downhill slope side of the road. He lives above the 13.5 km-point west of city limits. He is concerned about safety and hopes something can be done to improve the road’s condition. and Infrastructure confirms segments of the shoulder on the road have settled over the past several years, and recent heavy rainfall has contributed to some of the shoulder failures, causing them to become over-saturated and soft, resulting in some depressions in the pavement.
Kate Trotter, speaking on behalf the ministry, says the maintenance contractor is aware of the most recent shoulder failure and will be following up to make the necessary safety repairs. “The ministry is considering longer-term repairs; the timing will depend on the availability of funds
and other district priorities,” Trotter notes. Local log hauler Kent Bernier echoes Schwarzmaier’s concerns and says it’s a matter of time before someone gets hurt. He owns four logging trucks and a couple of them are hauling along the Soda Creek Road regularly. “The road has slumped away since we had all the rain in the summer, but it was bad before and is worse now. It makes it singlelane traffic so when you’re coming through there loaded it’s rough.” If a log truck driver were to meet someone coming from the opposite direction and wanted to avoid having a head-on collision, the driver might have to pull off, Bernier warns. “If you had speed, and you were to go down in one of those holes, if it didn’t fall over going down in there, it may just flip over when it came out right into the oncoming lane.” The signage is terrible, Bernier says and adds the road is busy and needs to be fixed. “There are lots of loads of logs coming out of there right now and there will be all winter.”

Theft leaves brother and sister without bikes Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer It hit home hard for a brother and sister in Williams Lake last weekend. They learned it’s important to lock up your bikes, and that registering them with the city’s bike registration program might have been an added form of protection. Damien Damery, 12, and his sister Layla Cartwright, 7, had their bikes stolen from the family carport at their home on Hodgson Road Friday evening. The theft most likely occurred when they were at home, the siblings say. Damien had waited all summer for a new bike and a few days ago he finally got a one. “It was a brand new mountain bike, with 6.2 clearly labelled on the side,” he says. “I only had it for three and a half days when it was stolen. When I found out, I thought it was pretty terrible.” Layla’s wasn’t a new bike, but she rode her Triumph all the time. “It was a black 21speed. It was pretty old, but I rode it a lot, on the road and on the trails,” she says. Upset that her grandchildren had their bikes
stolen, Shannon Jarvis of Chetwynd contacted the Tribune to share the story. “Their parents reported it to the police and were told that it is very unlikely that anything can be done about it,” Jarvis wrote in an e-mail, adding that people need to stand up and make it a lot more unpleasant for thieves to operate in Williams Lake and everywhere. Williams Lake RCMP Insp. Warren Brown says due to the volume of crimes in Williams Lake, “albeit some bikes are valuable,” the police are not able to provide the same effort into investigating bike thefts as they do for domestic assaults, break and enters, and crimes of that nature. Cognizant of the fact that bicycles are a high theft item in Williams Lake, the city introduced a bike protection program in April where bicycle owners are encouraged to register their bikes. Cyclists complete a registration form and include a photograph of their bike. The owner retains the information and, in the event the bike is stolen or lost, can bring the form to the

If this is you, you’re potentially costing yourself thousands of dollars in interest over the term of your mortgage. Today’s market is very competitive and it pays to be rate savvy! Follow these steps to save yourself valuable dollars: • Start shopping around 4 months before your current mortgage is up for renewal. Most lenders will rate hold for up to 120 days so this protects you against rate increases.
• Negotiate on other options. Don’t fixate on rate alone. The amortization period, the rate type, the flexibility of payment schedules and early prepayment policies can be crucial to lowering your costs as well.
CARIBOO AUTO RECYCLERS We love Used Parts
According to an Angus Reid survey almost 30% of households automatically renew with their current mortgage lender without shopping around!
• Never accept the bank’s posted rate! If you don’t ask for a lower rate you won’t get it. If your research determines your current lender has the best mortgage for you, ask them to match a competitor’s rate.
Everyone welcome to join in the celebration! 10 am at 1100 - 11th Avenue North

• Use a mortgage broker. If you don’t like negotiating and don’t have time to research various lenders your mortgage broker will do it for you. And because the lenders pay broker fees it won’t cost you anything. According to the Bank of Canada, people who use a mortgage broker usually pay $2,000$4,000 LESS in interest over the term of their mortgage. That’s a HUGE savings!

Taseko works with First Nations youth on watershed project Work has just completed this week on a watershed restoration project at Puntzi Creek, a tributary of the Chilcotin River in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. Taseko Mines Ltd. says the creek, which has become clogged due to debris build-up over many years, is an integral component of an extremely productive ecosystem, possessing the highest recorded rainbow trout biomass of any small stream in British Columbia. The fishery in the Punzti system is of value to First Nations, resort and landowners, ranchers and recreation enthusiasts. Due to unmanaged beaver activity and man-made barriers, the water flows,
lake levels, and fishery are being impacted, Taseko says. To address these detrimental impacts, revitalize spawning habitat and improve the downstream fishing and recreational values of the watershed, Taseko has partnered with the provincial government as well as Tsilhqot’in Nation statesman Ervin Charleyboy, who has recruited a number of aboriginal young people from his First Nations Youth Council to participate in the work. The Youth Council is a volunteer organization of young people, mentored by Charleyboy, who are seeking to better their futures through work experience, job shadowing,
education, and training. “The Puntzi Creek project represents a successful partnership between industry, First Nations and our provincial government,” says Katherine Gizikoff, director of environment and governmental affairs for Taseko Mines. “Taseko is proud to participate in the restoration of a waterway that is ecologically and culturally important. Beyond this, the project also offers educational and paid work experience for Tsilhqot’in members, who have shown great pride in the project and worked hard to achieve its success.” Under the guidance of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural
Resource Operations, Taseko Mines is lending the engineering and infrastructure resources to the Puntzi Creek restoration project. Specifically, the effort will enhance indigenous fish spawning and rearing habitat. “From a First Nations perspective Puntzi Creek is an area of ecological importance and deserving of proper care and stewardship,” said Ervin Charleyboy, former Tsilhqot’in chief of Redstone. “The collaboration between Taseko Mines, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and our First Nations Youth Council has certainly helped to expedite the debris clearing effort,

WL 1930s washing machine on American Restoration show Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer There’s the old saying, “one man’s junk, is another man’s treasure,” and then there are bucket lists. Sometimes the two will meet, and recently both have come into play for Wyatt Bednarz, co-owner of Williams Lake Scrap Metal on Frizzi Road. On Wednesday evening Wyatt and a 1930 Easy gas-engine-powered washing machine that was dropped off for scrap at his metal shop last October were to be featured on History Channel’s American Restoration (after Tribune deadlines). “I always wanted to be on the show,” Bednarz told the Tribune Tuesday, moments after he found out the show was going to be aired the next evening. “We filmed it in May in Las Vegas and finished it off in August,” Wyatt said. “I figured it would be on in a few months but found out it’s going to be on the first show of the
season. “How that works is then it’s usually shown throughout the day the following Sunday.” The washing machine was first found by his business partner Brett Judd. It was left in a bin outside the gate where people drop things off after hours. “The next morning Brett found it and put it off to the side. When I got back from holidays I saw it. One of the guys said someone was coming around to buy it, but I said I was going to keep it. It sat there for six months until we were ready to go away in March for holidays.” Wyatt and his wife Gail brought the washing machine to Rick’s Restoration in Las Vegas, Nevada, a shop run by Rick Dale, of American Restoration fame. “We’ve gone to see Rick before and told him we have a scrap metal yard in Williams Lake and that we get things in all the time. He told us to

Wyatt Bednarz, co-owner at Williams Lake Scrap Metal, was to be featured on History Channel’s American Restoration Wednesday evening. bring some down and so we did,” Wyatt recalled. At the time, Wyatt told Dale he wanted to appear on his television show but heard those decisions are not up to him. It all had to go through
the History Channel, Gail explained. Once they returned from their holidays, they e-mailed some things to the History Channel, and three days later heard they were interested, so they flew back
to Las Vegas and took the washing machine in for the restoration. The first part filming the television episode was telling the story of acquiring the machine. “How I was undecided
whether I should give it to a museum, or keep it myself, or sell it. Rick said it was the first time he’d ever restored one of those, so he didn’t know if it was unique or antique,” Wyatt said. By the time they went back down on Aug. 23 to finish up the filming, they learned it was very rare, especially in its condition, which was good. “I was pretty impressed when they unveiled it for me. They did a really nice job. “Rick asked if I wanted it fixed up fancy or fixed up the way it was when it was bought in the 30s. I said like it was in the 30s, and that’s exactly what he did.” It’s a wringer washer, with the wringer on the top. It has a gas motor, a kick starter, and a pull cord. “He said you would have had to be pretty rich to own one of those at the time,” Gail said. “I almost think that somebody’s parents had it stowed away in a garage or somewhere in a back cor-
ner. It’s definitely from Williams Lake. Maybe we’ll find out when the show airs on television.” Wyatt added. And now that Wyatt’s been on the show, Gail said her husband could cross that off his bucket list. “Then we’ve got to starting working on mine,” she added. Wyatt knows what happens in Vegas normally stays in Vegas; however, like the recent press around Prince Harry’s visit to Vegas last month, things can change. “We were there at the same time as Prince Harry,” Wyatt said. “The photographs of him went all over the world. I’ve got options. We paid for the restoration, so we could keep it, donate it to a museum, or sell it. Rick said he’d like to buy it back — he’s really keen.” The washing machine is his most treasured find to date, although regularly Wyatt e-mails people photographs of scrap and often they pick out things they want.

hanges in latitudes, changes in attitudes — looking back (my generation) they are the title words of a Jimmy Buffet song (album-1977). Today, they echo a feeling within the Canadian b e e f Cattle cattle Fodder industry (experts, Liz Twan ordinary cattlemen) that our business is a bit too reliant (exports) on the whims and custom of our continental neighbours below the 49th parallel. A recently released study (Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute or CAPI) supports that line of thought. Statistics show the U.S. export market absorbs about 85 per cent of Canada’s beef and cattle trade; in turn, that supply allows the U.S. to export more of their beef to expanding export markets for advantageously higher values and margins. David McInnes, CAPI president and CEO, in his news release, says: “The data and inventory show our beef industry lacks a comprehensive strategy to address challenges and take advantages of the significant opportunities that the future offers.� Highlighted is the risk that we possibly become “net importers of beef as our cattle cycle is experiencing lower production numbers, yet we have no readily apparent strategy in place to regain valuable domestic market share.� McInnes further stated: “We either accept that we will remain a primary backfill supplier of beef and cattle to the U.S. — with its consequences and benefits — or we need to make a conscious strategic decision about the markets where we can perform our best. This includes increasing the share of Canadian beef in our own domestic market, taking fuller advantage of key high value foreign markets where we have or can develop competitive advantage, and deciding how we can better extract more value from the important U.S. market.� Perhaps, with changes in attitudes, we (Canadian beef producers) could realize more value for the high quality product we market, particularly during this period of limited supply in North America.

B.C.’s wildfire vulnerability The wildfire that struck Peachland with ferocity on Sunday night is another reminder of just how vulnerable many parts of B.C. are to the forces of nature, and how little can be done to adequately prepare for such events. At the time of writing, the cause of the fire was not known. What is known is that it started in one small area not far from Highway 97C, on the west side of the small community, at about 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Within just a few minutes it was a raging inferno, driven by strong winds and feeding on the tinder dry forest and grasses. The quick response from both the ministry of forests, which dispatched water bombers and helicopters and a large ground crew, and also from numerous Okanagan fire departments, helped to contain the spread of the fire. But on Monday morning, it was still burning and was not under control. Some buildings had burned, but the extent of the destruction is unconfirmed.
B.C. has learned something from the 2003 Okanagan Mountain wildfire, which destroyed more than 200 homes in Kelowna and charred a huge area on the east side of Okanagan Lake. The destruction remains visible from Peachland and many other Okanagan communities. In that fire, the response was not as quick and the co-ordination efforts developed over time as the fire progressed. However, there is no way to absolutely prevent wildfires. There are many causes, such as lightning, that humans have no control over. People want to live in beautiful communities and some of their homes will be located in areas that could easily be hit by a wildfire. People must do all they can to be careful with any open flames, and it seems that most people have heeded that message. But the threat of wildfire will never go away. Quick and well-prepared responses are critical. — Black Press

ver the past eight years I’ve had the privilege of meeting and working with many amazing community minded people throughout the Cariboo. These are individuals who have taken up a particular cause or have such a strong passion for their community that they dedicate untold hours of their time to volunteer work. These are the people MLA w h o Musings make our festivals Bob Simpson and fairs happen, like the members of the Billy Barker Days Society and the Williams Lake Stampede organizing committee. People who keep our museums and art galleries open and provide our communities with opportunities to enjoy live theatre and events like ArtsWells and Horsefly’s Arts on the Fly. Individuals like Audrey MacLise in Williams Lake, Carol Weremy in Quesnel, and Susan MacNeill (who works in both communities) keep reminding us of our obligations to our seniors, while volunteers at the Child Development Centres and Big Brothers Big Sisters provide support and advocate for more resources for children. We have very active chapters of the Canadian Cancer Society and Kidney Foundation in both Williams Lake and Quesnel whose volunteers provide multiple opportunities for us to gather together to raise money for these causes. Likewise, there are support groups for a host of other diseases and life challenges that are organized and maintained purely through volunteer efforts. We’re also fortunate to have a wide variety of service groups and foundations that work hard to improve the overall socio-economic climate of our communities. While organizations like the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society, Baker Creek Enhancement Society, and Council of Canadians focus their volunteer time and energy on sustainability and environmental projects and initiatives. We all owe a debt of gratitude to these individuals and organizations as their volunteer efforts make our communities better places to live. One way to show our gratitude is to participate in as many of the events they put on as possible. Better yet, pick your own particular cause or community endeavour and join this dedicated corps of community and cause-minded people; they can always use more help. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Bears will eat anything that looks like food Editor: In your article about the problem bear in Boitanio Park, a conservation officer said if we didn’t have attractants (e.g. garbage or fruit on trees) the bears would not bother us and just go back to the bush. This is a simplistic assessment. If they aren’t eating our fruit and garbage, they would start eating our dogs, cats, children or adults, everything that looks like food to
them. There is an over abundance of bears. Aren’t most bears in public places two-year-olds who had been with their mother for the last two years but have been sent away by mama bear to fend for themselves? Bears are territorial and resist having another bear in their area so there is a battle for possession. That is why we end up with problem bears in our parks and subdivisions.
These bears have seen everything run from them for the last two years because most animals run when they see a mama bear and cub. Consequently, they have no fear of people when they end up in city settings. A documentary on black bears in Canada, which followed radiocollared bears, found that at times in Newfoundland black bears prey on full-grown moose. Alan Trenzek Williams Lake
New highway needed for Central Coast Editor: Prime Minister Stephen Harper joined with global Asian Pacificcentered countries in Vladivostok to discuss the developing economic opportunities within the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) community of countries. Attending this Russian-held conference, a world’s who’s who, included such names as Chinese President Hu Jintao, Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, and our Prime Minster Stephen Harper. Of course, there are many more highly respected leaders of countries within the frame work of APEC. Canada’s West Coast is why Canada happens to belong to the APEC community. So what is APEC’s value here in the Cariboo/ Chilcotin Central Coast? Billions
www.wltribune.com A7
of dollars are being spent developing infrastructure and improving access so that Canada can more efficiently handle developing trade through two of Canada’s existing West Coast port facilities, while the potential of the Central Coast lies dormant to modern growth by an outdated transportation corridor. We in the Cariboo-Chilcotin-Central-Coast should be yelling our fool heads off; we have the only real third outlet to the Pacific Rim countries. Where are our leaders? Why are we not demanding some economic development in Cariboo/ Chilcotin Central Coast as part of this massive Canadian Pacific Rim economic investment? Certainly development in the pristine environment of the Cariboo-Chilcotin-Central-Coast will be affected. That’s why we who live in this environment need to be proactive, prior to development occurring, not now, but right now. We need to be developing our own
developmental strategies, laying a hard and fast foundation of how we want our environment developed and protected at such a time development for the good of Canada may occur. In the mean time the Central Coast and the Cariboo-Chilcotin corridor, our access point to this developing Pacific Rim economy, is getting short shafted with absolutely no economic benefit, while billions of Canadian tax dollars are going to the other two Pacific Rim access points. Let’s get our heads out of the sand. The federal and provincial governments need to be hounded that a proper modern highway to the Central Coast should be constructed as a necessary adjutant to the development and future of the Cariboo/Chilcotin Central Coast and our future place in the world economy.

NEWS City of Williams Lake finalizes its 2012-15 strategic priorities Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer At its last two committee of the whole meetings, council and staff have finalized strategic priorities, building on discussions that began in March. At the Sept. 11 committee of the whole meeting, council unanimously agreed the City of Williams Lake: Three Year Plan 2012-2015 Road Map should be approved. “I look at this plan and I think it’s a good body of work. It’s a lot of work, but I recommend we approve

it and get on with putting things in place,� Coun. Geoff Bourdon said. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said he felt the document was long overdue. “I’m not blaming anybody, because I have to take the blame myself. The good news is, even though we’re 10 months behind, we are back on track and now we know what our goals and objectives are,� Rathor said. The 10 sections in the report include planning for growth by taking a long-term, strategic approach; meeting the needs of the commu-
nity; becoming the mining capital of B.C.; ensuring development; maintaining and replacing infrastructure; and addressing the environmental objectives outlined in the city’s Official Community Plan. General Manager of Planning and Operations Geoff Goodall explained a section involving developing a fleet management strategy. “What we’re saying is that we need to be strategic in the way we manage our fleet and we need to get a management plan so that we understand how we’re going to be replacing our vehicles.�
Coun. Sue Zacharias said while she agreed with the fleet management strategy, she’d rather see big pieces of equipment, if possible, or big jobs hired out to private businesses. Goodall said the plan doesn’t mean the city can’t eliminate items in the future. “If that’s the direction council wants to go, having a fleet management strategy doesn’t hinder you at all from reducing what you have.� Rathor said the strategy also pertains to greenhouse gas emissions and ensuring the equipment used by
the city is meeting reduced emission targets. Other priorities include developing relationships with First Nations governments on issues of joint interest, supporting investment in recreation amenities, playing a leadership role in strengthening the social fabric of the community, actively marketing the city, supporting development of industrial lands, and continuing to implement the Business Expansions Assessment Strategy. The priorities’ final adoption is expected to take place at a regular council meeting.

LIFE LITERACY MONTH
Written by Mel Newcombe, Community Support Worker September is Life Literacy Month in Canada and September 8th is International Literacy Day. The United Nations theme this year is Literacy and Peace. This theme was adopted to show how higher literacy skills and values bring everyone together. Literacy gives us the skills we need to understand the world around us and participate in our communities. Lets all celebrate literacy this September! Literacy is one of the most important life skills that we all use everyday. So what is literacy? Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy Society (CCPL) “defines literacy as how people understand and use information. It is how they read, write and use numbers and communication technology such as computers, phone, fax, email and the Internet. “ So why should you improve your literacy skills? Increasing your literacy skills will help you retain your job and increase your employment goals by being prepared for the ever-changing job market. With higher literacy skills you will be better able to take care of your family, money and have more opportunities.
What is the difference for those who have low literacy skills? CCPL “defines low literacy as people not having the literacy skills they need to do these daily tasks. They have trouble with reading, writing and using numbers.” CCPL supports programs from babies to seniors right here in the Cariboo. Their programs include Partner Assisted Learning, Computer Literacy Classes, Group Tutoring, Community Learning Nights, Financial Literacy Workshops, English as a Second Language and Books for Babies and much more. You can improve your literacy skills each and every day by taking some simple steps to improve your skills. Read a book, take up a hobby, play games with your family and friends, join a club, take a class try to make learning a daily activity. Take up a challenge with yourself to improve your reading, writing and math skills. Make it fun. As your literacy skills improve your life will improve. If you would like more information about CCPL programs or volunteer opportunities please give me a call at 250-945-4199.
CHILDREN’S BOOKS IN THE DIGITAL WORLD Submitted by the Cariboo Regional District One of the biggest changes to the landscape of books and reading has been the emergence of e-books in public libraries. The Cariboo Regional District Libraries (CRDL) has seen a slow, but steadily increasing use of these electronic publications.
The CRDL participates in BC Public Libraries “Library to Go” service. This service provides CRDL patrons with access to portable, digital content such as audiobooks and ebooks. The first demographics to embrace the trend were boomers and seniors. Seniors can also enjoy the benefits of the e-book format, such as adjustable text size, and providing access to many books with just one smaller device. More recently, there has been a growing interest from parents and youngsters in the e-book format. The CRDL branches, have most recently added TumbleBook Library to the collection of databases. Tumblebook Library is an online collection of animated talking picture books called “Tumblebooks.” The books in the Tumblebook Library are existing titles that have animation, sound, music and narration added. The collection includes storybooks, fairy tales, nonfiction books and books for learning. Each book has a synopsis of the story; author, illustrator and publisher information; reading time; reading level; book reviews; and accelerated reading info. The “TumbleReadables” tab takes users to a collection of online books
without the animation. The books are narrated and each sentence read is highlighted. There are some minimum system requirements for computers or e-reading devices in or to access Tumblebooks, including Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 / Netscape 4.x or later, Flash 6 plug-in, and a Video display card (minimum resolution 800x600). E-books provide an excellent means to engage children and prompting physical interaction. They are especially helpful for motivating less keen readers toward engagement. Tumblebooks includes both enhanced e-books and more traditional e-books, so parents might want to make sure to involve the child with both. However, children’s traditional print books are certainly not going out of style either! In July of this year, over 1,300 children’s picture books were checked out. In the case of books and e-books for children, the most important aspect is that children are encouraged to read. Don’t forgo print for the sake of e-books, or e-books for the sake of print. Instead, a balanced approach is suggested. In this day in age, the ability to read is only part of the picture – traditional literacy skills are essential such as reading, writing, and comprehension. But successful navigation of the brave new digital world also requires new abilities, which e-books can certainly help develop.

Matters STRONG COMMUNITY COLLABORATION MAKES FINANCIAL LITERACY A HUGE SUCCESS
Written by Kirsten Stark, Financial Literacy Project Coordinator Over the past 12 months this program has delivered a total of 11 community workshops that have provided direct benefit to 76 people. Organizing and delivering the series of six community workshops in Williams Lake was hard work and would not have been possible without support from our local financial community. A very special ‘thank you’ goes to all the guest speakers: Bob Osmachenko (Community volunteer), Lyndsey Carter (Williams Lake and District Credit Union), Brian Purdy (PMT Chartered Accountants), Paul Eves (Scotiabank), Joanne Stacey (RBC). Thanks must also be given to the Williams Lake Library and Women’s Contact Society for providing the excellent facilities in which to host the workshops and to all the local media groups who assisted with the awareness raising campaign: www.welcometowilliamslake.com, The Williams Lake Tribune, The Stew Magazine, The Rush and Shaw Cable. Another important part of this program was the roaming information service that was delivered at many locations in and around Williams Lake. This outreach work has connected with over 140 people seeking information or advice on financial literacy issues. The current project ends on November 23rd this year, but CCPL is committed to seeking
additional funding to deliver the program long term. There is still a lot happening before the end of the project, including a contest and a financial literacy symposium on November 16th at Boitanio Mall. The symposium will provide financial literacy information and offer workshops for seniors, families and youth. The sixth and final community workshop ‘Be a Smart Consumer’ will be the last session of the day. More information on this free event and the contest will be coming soon. How we spend and manage our money as individuals has a direct impact on the strength of our local economy; provides leadership to the next generation; and through responsible spending choices can have a positive impact upon our environment. So budget for the life YOU want to live and don’t let too much debt limit what YOU can achieve! For information and free confidential support, contact: kirsten@caribooliteracy.com
VOLUNTEERS AT WORK Written by Kirsten Stark, Financial Literacy Project Coordinator Some of the “unsung heroes” amongst us are the men and women who give generously of their time to help others in the community. Among the most praiseworthy are those who volunteer at PAL. Partner Assisted Learning or PAL, as it is familiarly called, is an initiative of the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners in Literacy. Its aim is to provide help in any areas where adults need literacy help. There are many reasons why people leave school with less than adequate levels of literacy. Sometimes it is disinterest, sometimes learning disabilities, poor health, family needs. Whatever the reason, it occasionally comes back to haunt us as we age. Income tax forms need to be filled in; the children think we should be able to use a computer, cell phone etc. We need new skills in order to take on a new job. Perhaps we want to upgrade to take a course at the university. PAL is here to help- and it’s FREE! The wonderful volunteers who make this programme possible come from many walks of life. There are retired teachers certainly, but there are retired nurses, truck drivers, housewives (generally not retired!), administrators, and many more that willingly devote their time to helping adults who request help with literacy issues. These people work without pay. Their training takes a full twenty four hours of instruction, encompassing subjects from communication to beginnings of Math. They willingly devote a minimum of two hours per week to helping others achieve the literacy levels they aspire to. One really exciting outcome of this work is seeing a discouraged, unsure person start to “walk tall”, showing increased levels of self confidence. Knowing you have made a real difference in someone’s life is exceedingly rewarding. Training for new PAL tutors will begin on September 4th. If you are interested in making a real difference in our community, call June at 250-392-9649, 250-392-8130 or Janette at 250-392-8161.

Tour de Cariboo raises $40,000 Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The 20th annual Tour de Cariboo saw 73 riders tackle 75 kilometres of terrain between Williams Lake and Gavin Lake, helping raise around $40,000 for the lakecity chapter of Big Brothers and Big Sisters. “The day went extremely smooth and the weather was phenomenal,� said BBBS executive director Lorraine Levitt. Sunny skies greeted riders early Saturday morning at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex where they completed a brief warm-up before heading out on the course. At Gavin Lake riders were treated to musical performances from Jay and Chelsea Goddard, Steve Hunter and Oren Barter. “The new superintendent of School District No. 27 Mark Thiessen was the MC for the banquet and kept everyone in stitches with his sharp sense of humour,� Levitt said. Prior to the race participants were asked to earn pledges, which go toward helping BBBS fund their children’s programming throughout the year.

To date, Kier — who rides not only to Gavin Lake, but also home to Williams Lake immediately after — has raised more than $100,000 for BBBS in Williams Lake through the Tour de Cariboo. This year’s second-highest fundraiser was Patsy Kohnke, raising $2,760, followed by Niki Brandon, who raised $2,300, in third. Others who raised $500 or more were: Ivor McMahen ($1,100), Kristy Davis ($880), Betty Donahue ($800), Barb Favell ($750), Anniki Egolf ($747), Suzanne McLean ($550), Katy McMahen ($505), Brandy Links ($500.50) and Ann Carter ($500).
Prizes, which were presented at Gavin Lake, went to Am Sajan (best dressed), Katie Chaffee (rider draw), “We Hope to Survive� (relay team draw), Tina Campbell and Darron Campbell (volunteer draw), Erika Manarin (rider draw) and Bob Laker (everybody draw). Some riders put their endurance and speed to the test, racing against the clock for bragging rights. In the women’s 50-plus category Carter took first place overall, finishing in a blazing 3:06:25. In second was Kohnke in 3:35:04, followed by Donahue in third at 4:00:40. The men’s 50-plus category was taken by Ivor in 2:40:03, followed by Rob Taylor (3:07:49) and Marten
Lettinga (3:09:20). In the women’s under 40 division Cheri Wiebe finished first in 3:14:01, followed by Becky Abrahamse right behind in 3:15:02, while Brandson (3:17:44) took third. For the men’s under 50 class it was Ryan Oliver winning by a landslide in the day’s fast time of 2:17:09. Levitt said he even took a brief break to avoid a possible dangerous encounter. “Ryan beat his personal best, even having to back track from a sow — standing on hind legs — and her cubs,� Levitt said. In second place was Brett Douglas (2:40:05), with Laker (3:12:39) in third.

Speedway wraps up season Marius Dunford, president of Thunder Mountain Speedway, said fans at Saturday’s season points final were treated to some phenomenal racing. “We had some really close racing,� he said. “A lot of people were excited. “The bone stocks went right down to the last corner.� There, George Giesbrecht, after trailing Sean Kelly for almost the entire race, snuck inside to take the lead and the win in the final corner. The Thunder class main event saw Tim Westwick edge Jesse Fisher in another nail biting finish. “That went right down to the wire, too,� Dunford said. “It was just bumper to bumper.� In the Heartland Toyota Pro Mini

main event it was Tim Roberts taking the checkered flag. Season points totals aren’t being disclosed yet, Dunford said. They’ll be presented later at Thunder Mountain’s year-end banquet. “All in all I think we had a pretty good season,â€? he said. “Hopefully it continues next year.â€? Sunday featured a crash to pass and novelty races. The results were as follows: • Blindfolded race — Westwick with co-pilot Brad Bednarz; Crash to Pass trophy dash — Cole Byrd (Quesnel); Backwards Race — Mike Scott; Reverse Race — Bednardz; Pit Crew Challenge — Westwick; King of the Hill — Scott; Smoke Show — Westwick and Bednarz; Crash to Pass — Cole Byrd.
The top 20 bull riders from around the province were in Williams Lake on the weekend competing for $10,000 in added prize money at the B.C. Professional Bull Riders Finals. When the dust settled, and the final horn sounded, it was Williams Lake cowboy Colton Manuel bringing home the championship. Manuel rode three of four bulls put in front of him on the weekend taking home $1,774 for his efforts. His first ride on C+ Rodeo bull Turntable scored him a 68, followed by 76-point tangle with Blue Steel and an 81-point jaunt with Marvelous Moe in round four. Right behind Manuel in second place was Riske Creek’s Ryan Jasper. Jasper rode two of four bulls — Storm Warning (80 for first place in round one) and Soda Pop (80 in round three) — to win
$1,406.96. Finishing third was Quesnel’s Steve Hohmann, scoring a combined 155 on two bulls. Roy Call, manager of C+ Rodeos and BCPB Finals organizer, said the event was well-attended and went smoothly. “I talked to Tammy Tugnum (Harvest Fair president) and they were very pleased with it so that’s what we need to see,� Call said. Riske Creek’s Justin Davis also won $1,500 after being the only rider to hang on for eight seconds in the second go. Williams Lake’s Brady Fuller, after a nasty wreck Saturday, returned to win Sunday’s fourth go on Wolverine with an 85.5-point ride. “That was a pretty good whack and it was nice to see him have some success the last day,� Call said. “It’s always better to go out when you win.� Coming up this weekend, Sept. 14-16, are the BC Rodeo Association Finals at Quesnel’s Alex Fraser Park, where several of the BCPB riders will be back at it.

Unlikely Paddlefest adventure starts Saturday in Likely Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer This year’s 21st annual Unlikely Paddlefest adventure goes this weekend in Likely. And Mark Savard, Paddlefest organizer, is inviting kayakers and water enthusiasts to attend. “People are coming from all over the place,”
Savard said. “This year we’re focusing on paddling the awesome water levels we’ve got.” The festivities go from Sept. 15-17, when serious kayakers will tackle the more challenging Chilko River on the final day. The event is noncompetitive and simply an opportunity to get out on the water,
paddle and enjoy some of the rivers in the region. Camping spots are available in Likely along the Quesnel River. “This is 21 years and we’re cranking off hav-
ing some fun,” he said. “Come on out.” For more information call Mark Savard at Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed at 250-398-7873 or send him an e-mail at mark@redshreds.com.

sports Red Dog Slo-Pitch League champions crowned Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer After opening up an early lead the OV Rock Rangers proved too much to handle for the Rippers, winning the Red Dog Slo-Pitch League ‘A’ division title Sunday. The OV Rock Rangers rallied to an early 9-2 lead just three innings into the contest — held at the Esler Sports Complex — before the Rippers managed to show signs of life, battling back in the fifth inning to within three runs.
The Rock Rangers answered right back, however, scoring three more runs in the top of the sixth and finishing the contest with a 13-7 victory. The Rippers, earlier in the day, had beaten the Rock Rangers, 4-3, throwing out the tying run at home plate to save the contest to advance to the final. The Rock Rangers, for their part, were busy. They battled BDII and downed the OV Booze Brothers to advance through the back door to the final.
The Rippers’ path to the championship consisted of wins over the Rock Rangers and the Booze Brothers, before falling just short in the final. In the ‘B’ division, following wins over the Hellraisers and the Fireballs, Qwesqi — for the second time in the day — beat the Fireballs, 14-11, to win the title. The Fireballs advanced after taking wins over the Throw-Togethers and the Hellraisers. The two teams were both neck and neck
throughout the tournament. Earlier Qwesqi and the Fireballs needed two extra innings (13-12) before Qwesqi were declared the winner.
In the ‘C’ division final it was Lil Bit Loco edging out an 11-5 victory over the N8VS to claim the title. Lil Bit Loco advanced
to the championship game following wins over the Dirty Ores and the N8VS, prior to the N8VS advancing back to the final through the back
door. The tournament began Thursday with round robin games, prior to Saturday’s double-knockout playoff format.

SPORTS Help cancer research at Terry Fox Run Sunday Team up with your colleagues, family, friends, social club or athletic group to celebrate, honour and remember loved ones this Sunday at the annual Terry Fox Run. Help support cancer research across Canada in Williams Lake this Sunday, Sept. 16 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Registration goes from 9 to 11 a.m. with the official event kicking off at 10 a.m. There is no entry fee and no minimum pledge required. You can run, walk, wheel or ride the five- or 10-kilometre route through Williams Lake. Fox’s Marathon of Hope began in 1980 with little fanfare following a battle with bone cancer that forced him to have his right leg amputated. While in hospital, Fox was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients, many of them young children, that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. After 143 days, 5,373 kilometres and achieving an enormous amount of fanfare, Terry was forced to stop running outside Thunder Bay, Ont. because cancer had appeared in his lungs. He passed away on June 28, 1981 at 22 years old. To date, the Terry Fox Foundation has raised more than $600 million for cancer research worldwide. The foundation maintains the vision and principles of Terry Fox while raising money for cancer research through the run. The Terry Fox Research Institute also seeks to improve significantly the outcomes of cancer research for the patient through a highly collaborative, team-oriented, milestone driven approach to research with the goal of enabling discoveries to translate
quickly into practical solutions for cancer patients worldwide.
The TFF raises approximately $24 million annually for cancer
research in Canada. For more information on the Williams
Lake Terry Fox Run call the Cariboo Memorial Recreation
Complex at 250-3987665. To obtain a pledge

New format provides more prizes for gymkhana LeeAnn Crosina Special to The Tribune This year the gymkhana events were organized a little differently. Organizers LeeAnn Crosina and Nikki Fuller have been running gymkhanas at the Trail Riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arena during the summer months in a 2D format. Each group completed in an event and then the qualifying teams were split in half. Any â&#x20AC;&#x153;no timesâ&#x20AC;? did not count in the half split. The top half of the competitors then received a payout (1D) and then the second half received a payout (2D). Depending on how many riders there were the payout was to two placings or three placings as listed. This provided more riders with a cash payout and even if you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the fastest you still could win something. There were 58 competitors at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair. Thank you to the Williams Lake Harvest Fair for the $500 in added prize money, to Save-On Foods for donating the flour for the Keyhole Race, and to all the volunteers who helped with the announcing, watering and harrowing the arena, moving of props, and doing the gate. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it without you. Results from the Williams Lake Harvest Fair gymkhana over the weekend are as follows. Winnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names appear in first, second and third position. There were 11 riders in the age six-and-under category; nine riders in the age nine-to-11 category, 14 riders in the age 12-to-16 category, 15 riders in the age 17-to-39 category, and nine riders in age 40-plus.

Partner Assisted Learning tutor training begins on Sept. 15 June Striegler Special to The Tribune Some of the “unsung heroes” amongst us are the men and women who give generously of their time to help others in the community. Among the most praiseworthy are those who volunteer at Partner Assisted Learning. Partner Assisted Learning or PAL, as it is familiarly called, is an initiative of the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners in Literacy. Its aim is to provide help in any areas where adults need literacy help. There are many reasons why people leave school with less than adequate levels of literacy. Sometimes it is disinterest, sometimes learning disabilities, poor health, or family needs. Whatever the reason, it occasionally comes back to haunt us as we age. Income tax forms need to be filled in; the children think we should be able to use a computer, cellphone etc. We need new skills in order to take on a new job. Perhaps we want to upgrade to take a course at the univer-
sity. PAL is here to helpand it’s free. The wonderful volunteers who make this program possible come from many walks of life. There are retired teachers certainly, but there are retired nurses, truck drivers, housewives (generally not retired), administrators, and many more who willingly devote
their time to helping adults who request help with literacy issues. These people work without pay. Their training takes a full 24 hours of instruction, encompassing subjects from communication to beginnings of math. They willingly devote a minimum of two hours per week to helping others achieve
the literacy levels they aspire to. One really exciting outcome of this work is seeing a discouraged, unsure person start to “walk tall,” showing increased levels of self confidence. Knowing you have made a real difference in someone’s life is exceedingly rewarding. Training for new PAL tutors will be on Sept. 15 at Thompson

Family fiddle dance Saturday Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Fiddle music has been building community across Canada since the first settlers arrived in the country. And fiddle music is now doing its bit to build a greater sense of community in Williams Lake. A fiddle workshop taking place in the lakecity this week with top Canadian fiddlers Gordon Stobbe from Halifax and J.J. Guy from Saskatoon will wrap up Saturday evening Sept. 15 with a community family dance at the 150 Mile House Fire Hall starting at 7 p.m. Admission is by donation. Stobbe and Guy and lakecity violin/fiddle teacher Ingrid Johnston are instructing 34 students ages five to 18 in five days of workshop sessions this week designed to teach the students songs for a show about the history of fiddle music in Canada. Many of the students who have learned the songs will join the instructors in performing at the dance that will include old time Canadian dances and music such as the Black Velvet Waltz, Heel Toe Polka, Schottisches, Fox Trots, and the Virginia Reel. In efforts to raise awareness about fiddle music in Canada and give fiddle students a goal to strive for, Stobbe developed the Fiddle History of Canada show with input from other fiddlers such as Leslie-Jean MacMillan who leads the Smithers fiddle group that performed in Williams Lake this spring. Stobbe says songs for the show trace the history of fiddle music in Canada starting in 1604/05 when the Acadians from France settled in Nova Scotia and created songs such as Evangeline which talks about their expulsion from Nova Scotia. The show includes songs by Irish settlers in Newfoundland such as Sean Ryan’s Polka, Scottish settlers in Nova Scotia, Quebecois fiddle songs such as Reel de St. Antoine, Ottawa Valley/Ontario style songs such as the

Ingrid Johnston (left), J.J. Guy, and Gordon Stobbe lead the younger fiddle students in a workshop class for the show. Old Red Barn and Chinese Breakdown, along with songs from the First Nations and Metis fiddle traditions such as chief Big Bear. Songs with historical reference make up the first part of the show which the students are now learning. The second half of the show, which may come later, traces the history of fiddle music since the early days of recordings by masters such as Don Messer, Rufus Guinchard, Emile Beloit and Graham Townsend. The students are learning the songs all by ear, not by reading music, Stobbe says. He says each song has parts for beginner, intermediate and advanced students. In a fully developed show, there would be a narrator to talk about the history of each of the songs presented. “In some ways the narrator is the star of the show,” Stobbe says. As the show develops, Stobbe says there will be places for other musicians such as drummers, guitarists, and cello players. He says there should be at least two of the other musicians to spell each other off for performances. While the local fiddlers may not have a narrator yet, Cariboo Chilcotin Youth Fiddle Society spokesperson Candice Magnowski says the songs the students learn will become part of future performances at community events held in the area. Separate from their
regular lessons, Magnowski says students participating in the program will work on the show songs once a month in their beginner, intermediate and advanced groups and once a month when all of the groups come together to practice. Stobbe and Guy will also be back in the spring to help the students polish the songs for their show. Magnowski says the club couldn’t have started the program without the help of numerous local sponsors including Thompson Rivers University, which is providing rehearsal space for the workshops free of charge.
Stobbe and Guy are travelling the country helping fiddlers in many communities develop their own shows. Next they are heading to Yellow Knife. “The projects are all different. That’s the exciting part of it,” Guy says. Stobbe says the program teaches students how to play together, how to focus, how to mentor younger players, and some of the history of Canada through its music. In the end, Magnowski says the program is all about the kids and all about building community and activities families can do together.

“They call the Cariboo home” Don and Lynn Hanson grow a team and other things Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer If you’ve been to a Williams Lake Stampeders hockey game in the past 16 years, Lynn and Don Hanson are to thank for the entertainment. The Williams Lake couple, who moved to the area in 1959 from Prince George, helped bring the historic team back from the ashes in 1996 more than 10 years after it folded from the Central Interior Hockey League. They’ve thanklessly volunteered their services in the community for years. And aside from that, they keep an immaculate, award-winning yard, tending to an endless array of flowers, vegetables and fruit trees. When they do have spare time Don enjoys fishing and hunting and Lynn takes to her hobbies — cake decorating, baking, scrapbooking and cooking. “We were already married when we came to Williams Lake,” Don recalled. “I worked out of Prince George at Rose’s Ice Cream and the fellow that was down here in Williams Lake, he had a bad accident in Quesnel in the truck. I used to run from Prince George to Mackenzie and up to Fort St. James and the guy asked me if I’d come down here for a couple of months until he came back, but he never did and I ended up staying.” The next year Lynn moved down to Williams Lake, they bought a little house and, as Don explained, “things progressed from there.” “We already had two daughters when we moved here — Cindy and Debra,” Lynn said, noting Cindy was born in 1959 and Debra was born in 1960. “Cindy’s in Kamloops and Debra lives in Terrace now.” Lynn and Don are now grandparents to four, and great grandparents to seven. Don said the house they built and live in now stands adjacent to the one they bought when they

Don and Lynn Hanson, who moved to Williams Lake from Prince George in the late 1950s, helped bring back senior men’s hockey in the lakecity. arrived in Williams Lake. “The little house that’s there, we were in that,” he said. “Right next door there was a big piece of property, one acre, so we built the bigger house on the other side and eventually we got in there in 1969.” Eventually Rose’s Ice Cream was bought out by Dairyland, with Don continuing to work for the company as a manager and truck driver. Meanwhile Lynn worked at Glendale elementary for 10 years, before beginning a career with the Child Development
Centre, where she stayed for 30 years. Around the late 1970s a lack of competitive hockey began what would, eventually, become a mainstay in the community for many years to follow. Don and Lynn found themselves managing the then defunct Williams Lake Stampeders hockey club, scouring the community for sponsors, digging up players and attempting to get the team back on its feet. “There was a little bit of hockey here,” Don recalled. “They folded up in about 1976 origi-
nally. Willie Dubray, he started to get it back together again in about 1996, and then in 1997 I ended up taking it over, and I’ve been here ever since.” Lynn also became involved right from the beginning looking after the secretarial duties for the club. For the past five seasons she’s been the secretary for the Central Interior Hockey League. “It was hard to start up,” Don said. “We had absolutely no money, we never had uniforms, we never had anything — everything dissipated that 10 years the team was out of the league. A
couple of us put in a substantial amount of money and, it took a few years, but we eventually got it back and it’s kind of progressed ever since.” In 2009 the Stampeders won their first Coy Cop provincial senior men’s hockey championship, distinguishing themselves as the best in the province. “Now, financially we’re in pretty good shape, our crowds keep getting better and better and we’re hoping it keeps going — that’s the big thing now,” Don said. Once the spring sun begins to shine and the ice on the hockey rink gets lifted, the couple shifts focus to their other love — gardening. “We have an acre of land and it’s all in flowers — perennials and annuals — and we got a greenhouse this year,” Lynn said. Lynn grows flowers, vegetables of all varieties and some fruit, while Don makes sure the grass is neatly kept. “I’ve always enjoyed it,” Lynn said. “They’ve had garden tours we’ve been a part of and then we’ve done some garden competitions in the community and we’ve won that for most unique gardens. A couple of the areas are decorated with teapots and teacups and things like that in the garden. Then we’ve got another area — it’s all birds and bird houses, so it’s kind of different. “My daughter and I used to have a basket shop in the basement, too. But now she’s moved so we don’t do that anymore but it was fun.” They also find time twice a year to travel to Prince Rupert to halibut fish. “Our daughter has a 60-foot yacht and we travel up there twice a year,” Lynn said. “It’s great.” The Williams Lake Stampeders home opener against the Kitimat Ice Demons is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cariboo Memorial Complex.

Matthew Scott Davie Scott was born in North Vancouver on May 28th, 1947, the first of two children to Alastair and Betty Davie; he passed away on August 19th, 2012, with his family by his side, in Kamloops. Scott grew up in North Vancouver where he attended school. After graduating from high school he ventured off to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. Four years later he returned to North Vancouver to study and serve his apprenticeship in automotive mechanics. He was invited to Williams Lake for a visit and fell in love with the Cariboo. In 1974 he purchased property in Chimney Valley and soon moved to Williams Lake. He first worked as an automotive mechanic and then switched gears and became a heavy-duty mechanic, working for one of the local mills. In 1978 he met Margie Arishenkoff and shortly afterward married â&#x20AC;&#x153; the love of his lifeâ&#x20AC;?. In 1983 the second â&#x20AC;&#x153;love of his lifeâ&#x20AC;? was born, daughter Tara, affectionately known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bugâ&#x20AC;?. Scott was proud to work as a mechanic and enjoyed the camaraderie of his co-workers. He developed a love of the Cariboo and enjoyed skiing recreationally and teaching Nancy Greene classes at Mt. Timothy, camping, fishing in the area with family and friends, spending time with his two â&#x20AC;&#x153;grand dogs, Bruno and Bellaâ&#x20AC;?, and going on motorcycle trips with Margie and friends. Through trips to the Kootenays to visit Margieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, Scott took advantage of the skiing at Red Mountain and Whitewater and enjoyed the various hot springs in the area, often returning to camp at them with Margie and friends. In retirement he and Margie enjoyed travel and cruises. Last year Scott and Margie enjoyed accompanying his dear mother Betty and sister Lindsay on an Eastern Seaboard cruise. He also loved and took deep pride working on his acreage with his beloved â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kubotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as well as giving a helpful hand to friends and family. Scott is survived by his loving wife Margie, daughter Tara, sonin-law Tyler Burtenshaw, mother Betty, sister Lindsay, and the new â&#x20AC;&#x153;love of his lifeâ&#x20AC;?, a Bernese Mountain pup, Saba. A memorial and reflection of Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will take place September 16th, 2012 at the United Church, 1000 Huckvale Place, at 2:00 pm. As an expression of sympathy, in lieu of gifts and flowers, please consider a donation toward a high school scholarship for a student with outstanding work ethic, in care of jeannette.gobolos@sd27.bc.ca The family would like to give a special thank you for the love and support given by friends and family.
