New police watchdog ready to go Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C.’s new police oversight office is officially in operation, ready to take over investigations of incidents involving police that result in serious injury or death. Former U.S. prosecutor Richard Rosenthal was hired last year for the new office, after establishing similar services in Denver and Portland. Rosenthal told a news conference Monday he has hired 30 of 36 investigators, divided into four teams, who are now on call to oversee investigation of any major incident involving police in the province. About half of

those investigators are former police, none of whom previously worked in B.C. Rosenthal and Justice Minister Shirley Bond said police experience is required, because the teams will need to secure crime scenes, interview police and other witnesses, and investigate incidents involving offduty police officers, including homicides. B.C.’s Independent Investigations Office (IIO) is the fourth of its kind in Canada, and has the largest civilian presence of any in the world, Rosenthal said. The B.C. government committed to a civilian-led agency after a string of incidents involving RCMP and city police forces.

The office was recommended by inquiries into the 2007 death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver airport, and Frank Paul, who was removed from the Vancouver Police drunk tank in 1998 and left unconscious in an alley. The 2005 gunshot death of Ian Bush at the RCMP detachment in Houston, B.C. was another case that pushed the B.C. government to end the practice of police incidents being investigated by other police forces. The independent office will also bring B.C. RCMP officers under civilian oversight. Bond said B.C. police agencies asked for independent oversight after police-led investiga-

tions in the Paul and Dziekanski cases eroded public support. Rosenthal said he intends to make reports public, whether or not the IIO recommends charges against police officers. Final decisions on charges are made by a Crown prosecutor, as with any other B.C. criminal case. The IIO expects to deal with about 100 cases involving death or serious injury in an average year. The office has a budget of about $10 million a year, working out of headquarters in Surrey. The existing B.C. Police Complaints Commissioner is continuing to handle public complaints against police forces in the province.

AN APPLE A DAY... Acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol ) is the most commonly used painkiller in the world. It is also found in combination with other products like those medicines for coughs and colds, menstrual pain and muscle relaxants. Too much acetaminophen is bad for us and can damage the liver. Read the labels on all the medication you take to ensure you aren’t exceeding daily dose levels of 4000 mg. ®

Flossing is difficult to do for some people so they don’t do it regularly. But flossing is an important part of good dental hygiene. Brushing gets rid of surface bacteria but only flossing can get between the teeth where you can’t reach with your toothbrush. It takes only 36 hours for plaque, the main cause of gum disease, to harden on your teeth. Flossing with stop this. If you aren’t already, be a flosser. Flu season is coming. We often get asked if a pregnant woman should have a flu shot and the answer is yes. Flu vaccine is an inactivated or killed vaccine so it will cause no problem to the mother or the baby. A deficiency of iron can affect brain function negatively and this is especially important in adolescents whose brains are still actively developing.

No two kids are alike. That’s what makes teaching both a challenge and a joy. It’s also why each student needs – and deserves – more of our time. Teachers will be working hard to give them that time. And together with parents, we’ll be urging government to help. Years of cuts have led to overcrowded classes. Our kids desperately need smaller classes, better support for students with special needs, and more one-on-one time. Every child matters. And every year counts.

Smaller classes, better support for kids with special needs, and more one-on-one time. THAT’S WHAT OUR STUDENTS DESERVE.

In this world of hero worship we are finding that many of our heroes are falling. The icons of the sporting arena Lance Armstrong, Melky Cabrera, Coach Paterno, several hockey tough men, football players and even up and coming future stars all succumbing to being mere men. We have discovered that they are not above reproach that they do have weaknesses. We need to look at our heroes with gentler eyes and hearts. Hebrews 11 lists the heroes of the Faith. Each one was a mere human, not a superstar or person of great talent. They were people who failed repeatedly yet got up brushed the dust off and continued.Many people today would scoff at calling these Biblical figures heroes.. Why would Abel a rancher be a hero? Is he a hero because he gave the better sacrifice? How about King David? He was a murderer, adulterer, conniver, liar, and this is just a few of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sinsâ&#x20AC;? he committed. Many of us would accept Samson as a hero for he was strong, virile, a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s man. He

PARSONS PEN

BY Captain Randy did what he wanted and took whatever he could. He frightened his enemies. But was he a hero of the faith? Joseph the boy with a coat of many colours was a hero. According to the Book of Genesis he real seemed to be the right example of a hero.Although he was abused by his brothers but did not extract revenge from them, this heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response resulted in him becoming the second in command of Egypt. From his position he treated

his brothers and family with kindness and saved them from a drought. Now these are the actions of a hero. So what makes this list of men and women heroes? What is different between them and those whom we hail as heroes today? We look for the perfect hero expecting faultless perfection. Commit any error and no longer is one a hero. God looks for the perfect hero also. The perfect hero is the one who admits weakness then relies and trusts God to accomplish the tasks. The perfect hero is the one who confesses their â&#x20AC;&#x153;sinâ&#x20AC;? publicly then moves on to continue to accomplish the task or to play the sport or to tell others what they learned. The perfect hero is one whose faith enables him or her to respond to God in a positive way which builds up the faith of others. Our heroes are mere men and women who need our support even in their failures. Do not shun them but forgive and move on and praise them for the honest achievements madeâ&#x20AC;Ś.

Your learning journey starts today September means back to school for kids and teens everywhere. But remember, learning doesn’t stop as we grow older. That’s why ABC Life Literacy Canada celebrates lifelong learning during the month of September. To kick off Life Literacy Month this year, ABC sat down with Literacy and Basic Skills Instructor Karen Bosworth to find out more about the adult learner experience. “I think a lot of people

are afraid to sign up for classes because they think they won’t fit in or feel comfortable, but it’s not like that at all,” Bosworth says. “As literacy practitioners, we focus on individual learning styles and construct lessons that are appropriate and relevant to each person’s goals. There is always time for one-to-one instruction for students who may need extra help.” Life Literacy Month is a celebration of learning, a chance to tackle chal-

lenges and try something new. ABC Life Literacy Canada encourages individuals looking to upgrade their literacy and basic skills to find an opportunity that’s right for them. Many adult literacy programs offer flexible drop-in hours to make learning compatible with work and family obligations. Literacy practitioners aim to create an inclusive classroom environment so that adult learners feel encouraged

and want to keep learning. ABC Life Literacy Canada encourages you to celebrate Life Literacy Month by starting your own learning journey. Make a list of things you’d like to learn this month and see how many you can accomplish. Tweet your progress to @Life_Literacy. For more information about a free adult literacy program in your neighbourhood visit: www. LookUnderLearn.ca.

Superhero’s Golf Tournament tomorrow The staff at Bell-EAcres are hosting a golf tournament this Saturday, Sept. 15 at noon for sixyear-old Chase Lamont, who was recently diagnosed with an aggressive and fast-growing type of liver cancer. Chase is currently at B.C. Children’s Hospital battling the disease. The tournament is a nine-hole, two-person scramble. Entry is $15 for adults, $10 for kids 13 and under. Heartland Toyota has a 2012 Toyota Corolla to give away to whoever gets a hole in one. Prizes will also be awarded to first- and second-place winners, including a helicopter ride for four, courtesy of Highland He-

licopters, for first place and two $50 gift certificates from Joey’s Grill for second. Other prizes will also be awarded, and other events include a super-hero costume contest, go-karting, mini-golfing, a horseshoe tournament, men’s and women’s arm wrestling, bocce ball and a live silent auction. The event will also include live music from Rachel Walker Trio, Jessica Williams, and Nite Hawks. All proceeds will go directly to the Lamont family. The tournament goes from 9 a.m. until dusk. Chase has a type of cancer called Hepatoblastoma. The tumour is the size of a cantaloupe, which is attached to both his liver and stomach. His cousin Kyla Wejr

says when Chase is not receiving chemo, he is at the Canuck Place. “That gives him a bit more freedom,” she says, adding that doctors have recently discovered he also has a blood disease, causing his blood not to clot properly. She says she thanks the businesses and community for their support. Those who can’t make it to the tournament but would still like to help can make a donation through an account set up at the Williams Lake and District Credit Union for Chase under Chase Lamont Fundraiser. Cheques made out to Chase Lamont Fundraiser can also be mailed directly to the Williams Lake and District Credit Union, 139

New pipeline to feed LNG exports Tom Fletcher Black Press Two months after opening its newest natural gas processing plant near Dawson Creek, Spectra Energy has announced a partnership that will more than double its B.C. capacity with a large-scale pipeline to Prince Rupert. Texas-based Spectra and British Gas (BG) Group plc announced Monday a development agreement to construct an 850-km large-diameter pipeline connecting its hub of operations near Fort St. John with proposed liquefied natural gas facilities near Prince Rupert. The pipeline would connect vast shale gas resources in the Montney formation near Fort St. John and the Liard, Horn River and Cordova Embayment shales near Fort Nelson. Its capacity of 4.2 million cubic feet per day compares to Spectra’s existing gas handling capacity of 2.4 million cubic feet per day. BG Group has op-

tioned an 80-hectare site in the Ridley industrial area owned by the Prince Rupert Port Authority for a possible liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility. Operating gas production facilities in 20 countries, BG is currently building a new LNG plant in Australia. The joint announcement, the companies said “early conceptual routes” have been developed, with consultation planned

for affected routes. The project timeline is to begin construction by 2015 and complete the pipeline by 2020. Spectra’s B.C. operations started as Westcoast Transmission Corp. with construction of B.C.’s first gas processing plant on the Peace River at Taylor in 1949. It still operates that plant, and pipeline network that supplies natural gas to the B.C. Lower

Mainland. Premier Christy Clark and Energy Minister Rich Coleman attended opening ceremonies in July for Spectra’s new Dawson Processing Plant. Doug Bloom, president of Spectra Energy Transmission West, said at that time the company was near completion of its $1.5 billion B.C. investment program, with another $4-6 billion to be invested after 2015.

News Still bee crazy

Williams Lake Weekend Friday, September 14, 2012

he other day someone asked me if I still kept bees and I was astonished they had to ask. When I got my first hive everyone knew I was a beekeeper because bees were all I could talk about. I managed to work it into every conversation. “Doesn’t the bride look lovely?” “Gorgeous. Interesting, isn’t it, that the term honeymoon comes from an ancient practice of making enough mead to see the couple through a month — from moon to moon? Mead is a wine made out of honey, you know. If my bees make enough honey this year I might try making a few bottles myself.” “That is interesting. So you’re saying the couple was given enough wine to keep them sloshed through their first month of marriage?” “Not just any wine; mead. It’s a wine made from honey. My bees are making a lot of honey this year.” “I wonder if the practice came about because of shotgun weddings or arranged marriages. You know, the idea of a few cases of wine helping to soften the reality of a lifetime commitment to someone you might not want to be with.”

SLICE OF LIFE SHANNON McKINNON

“Oh, I don’t know if I can make cases of wine. My bees — did I mention I keep bees? — are having a very productive year but I only have a couple hives and we go through a lot of honey. Honey made by my bees. The bees that I keep. I have two hives.” Even when I could see I was boring a person to tears I couldn’t seem to shut myself up, so I was shocked not only when the person asked me if I still had bees, but to discover through a quick scan of this year’s columns they contain not one mention of them. I am still smitten with these fascinating insects, but I am also humbled. Things haven’t always gone smoothly and usually I am to blame. And by usually, I mean always. The first winter I wrapped my hives in black tar paper. In February the sun hit the hives luring the bees outside for a “cleansing

flight.” Bees are meticulously clean and will wait for a warm winter day to exit the hive and empty their tiny bowels. Unfortunately they can be lured out by the heat of the sun on the tar paper, only to discover it isn’t quite as warm as they thought. Too cold to make it back to the hive they end up freezing to death. And that is exactly what happened to my first bees. The February snowscape was peppered with bee carcasses. Even the skylights on our house had a few bee bodies scattered across them, much to my horror and dismay. Last winter I surrounded each hive with square straw bales, including a couple on the roof. Not only did this prevent them from taking a February death flight, it kept them far more insulated than the tar paper. Come February I spent more than a few sleepless nights pondering my bees’ bowels and what it must be like to “hold it” for five months. But when

spring came I removed the bales and the bees were not only alive, they were thriving. However, I quickly found other ways to mess up. Not prepared for the rapid expansion of an overwintered hive I had to deal with a couple swarms before I sorted things out. I managed to catch one swarm, but the other was too high up and no matter what techniques I devised (and I devised quite a few) I could not get them down before they left for parts unknown. The swarm I did catch was set up in a third hive but it never flourished. About a month ago a frenzy of activity led me to the rookie mistake of thinking that it had finally taken off. A few days later I popped the lid and was greeted by a scene of utter destruction. Wasps, bald-faced hornets and bumble bees had invaded the hive and were making off with comb, brood and honey. The wasps and hornets behaviour didn’t surprise me, but I was

We’re Having A PARTY! It’s WISEOWL TOYS 10 th Birthday Party sorely disappointed in the bumble bees. I love their fat, furry, antics in the flower garden; in my bee hive, not so much. I am always saying how friendly and helpful gardeners are, but they may have met their match with beekeepers. A desperate e-mail sent out to some fellow beekeepers resulted in a generous sharing of information. I was told to try “double queening.” Using a queen excluder to keep the two queens separate, I stacked my weak hive on top of a strong one. This allowed the workers to combine forces against incomers. It worked beautifully. One more lesson to put in my beekeeper’s toolbox … only a million more to go.

Towns tackle modern problems L

ocal politicians are preparing for their annual convention, to be held Sept. 25-28 in the provincial capital. One of the first orders of business this year will be a vote to raise the dues paid by local governments to the Union of B.C. Municipalities, to cover rising travel costs for staff to serve on provincial committees. The plan is also to change the name to Union of B.C. Local Governments, to reflect the participation of regional districts and aboriginal communities. So what do these committees and conferences accomplish? The UBCLG, as it will soon be known, is mainly a lobby group for local politicians to seek changes to federal and provincial laws to keep up with changing times. The resolutions offer a snapshot of modern problems facing local governments. A major theme is public safety, and this year it is the Columbia Shuswap Regional District renewing a long-standing plea for more provincial policing money for rural communities. Surrey has a resolution seeking better notice and control of a growing number of medical marijuana licences issued by Ottawa. Local fire and police departments end up dealing with licensed grow-ops that spring up quietly and create electrical hazards, or expand production beyond

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

their licences as this stealth legalization continues. Pitt Meadows, home to a Hells Angels clubhouse and drug-related crime familiar to most urban communities, wants B.C. to follow Alberta’s lead and give police authority to remove known gang members from bars and clubs. Gangs tend to adopt certain establishments, and there isn’t much the owners or police can do about it. This year, the debate may go further. Metchosin is seeking support to call on Ottawa to decriminalize marijuana, ending a “failed policy which has cost millions of dollars in police, court, jail and social costs.” No chance of that under the Stephen Harper government, but it’s worthwhile to send the message. Another long-shot demand, sparked by the abduction of three-year-old Kienan Hebert of Sparwood last year, is for Ottawa to make its sex offender registry public for convicted

repeat offenders. Ashcroft councillors want to give emergency services authority to deal with another modern hazard: hoarding. Yes folks, it’s more than just a show on TV that exposes a creepy side effect of our bloated North American consumer culture. The Ashcroft resolution notes that obsessively piling stuff to the rafters is a growing problem. And as with marijuana grow ops, “local governments have little or no authority to enforce compli-

ance with health and safety standards when a building is owner occupied.” Another First World problem is the “pocket dialing” of 9-1-1 by mobile phones. This is more than just a nuisance, because local emergency services are obliged to respond to every call they get. And mobile phones can’t be traced to their location with any precision, creating time-consuming searches that weaken response to real emergencies. Other resolutions tackle

complex and important issues, such as the effect of hydro development on municipal water supplies. But alas, most will be lost in the convention noise, overshadowed by political posturing over matters best left alone. Last year’s convention featured the low comedy of delegates voting with wireless devices to condemn smart meters, after displaying their ignorance of the subject. This year, in addition to factually challenged rail-

ing about oil tankers, there will be a tough stance taken against shark’s fin soup, which will no doubt strike fear into the Chinese fishing fleet. Once delegates vote themselves more taxpayers’ money to run this show, perhaps they should keep their grandstanding to a minimum.

News Fall is the ideal time of year to have your furnace serviced — before the busy winter season starts. Better Business Bureau warns the public to be cautious about misleading door-to-door heating contractors who may use misleading sales tactics to convince homeowners to buy a new furnace or hot water tanks. In one recent scenario a consumer was sold a hot water tank by a company who stated it was a 2011 model when in reality the tank was from 2003. Reports are this same contractor is operating around British Columbia and does not have proper safety licensing and is having consumer issue cheques with no company contact information for payments. In the past the BBB has received reports of con artists who tried to frighten consumers into purchasing a new heating with warnings that their heating system is leaking dangerous gases that could explode or poison those inside the house. Before you choose a heating contractor consider the following tips: Start with the BBB. You can find out helpful informa-

CRD library system builds audio and e-book collection One of the biggest changes to the landscape of books and reading has been the emergence of ebooks 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 e-books. 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 in-

terest 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.

BEST BUY PRODUCTS FOR

SEPTEMBER

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 plugin, 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 ebooks, 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.

Where to go, what to do. Canadian fiddle master Gordon Stobbe leads family dance Saturday at the 150 fire hall 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

Fiddle master Gordon Stobbe works with young fiddlers in workshops this week that culminate Saturday with a family dance. 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 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. Stobbe will be back in the community next spring to help the fiddle students polish the songs for their show. Meanwhile they will be practicing.

Unlikely Paddlefest in Likely this weekend 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 at-

tend. “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 Savard at Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed at 250-398-7873 or send him an e-mail at mark@redshreds.com.

Terry Fox Run Sunday starting from the rec complex 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, Fox 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 mil-

lion for cancer research worldwide. The foundation maintains the vision and principles of Fox while raising money for cancer research through the run.

Fall CAR CARE Cleaning your car will help it survive winter For many Canadian motorists, washing a car in winter seems like an impossible task. Yet, it is crucial to the survival of the vehicle, mostly in the colder and snowy areas where salt or other forms of abrasives are used on roads during the cold season. Do not think because it is cold that those salts or abrasives are harmless to a vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body or structure. They are still active! Running your car or light truck through a car wash regularly is not wasted money, especially if it is a touchless high pressure car wash that can reach every crack and crevice under the vehicle. Have a close look at the many options offered at the car wash. There might even be one that will spray water under the vehicle to remove accumulated salt and dirt, thus curtailing corrosion. The optional hot wax job might also seem like too much, but it is another step that can help you fight corrosion! If, by any luck, there is a thaw during the winter, take advantage of the slightly warmer weather to wash the car by yourself with the garden hose or, even better, with a pressure washer. Try to do it when the sun is as high as possible, around noon, so the car will dry without icing up. Cleaning the interior is also a good idea, as salt and dirt might accumulate on carpets and slowly lead to rusting underneath. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be tempted to keep a bag of salt in the trunk for fear of getting stuck in the snow or on the ice. No matter how careful you are, some of that salt will spill in the trunk and it will cause corrosion.

With the price of gas climbing higher almost every week, giving your vehicle better maintenance has got to become a priority. Many motorists have the impression that new cars are pretty much maintenance-free. That might be true for some components, but there are others that need regular care. Fortunately, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always need to be done by expert mechanics. One of the things you can do at home is regularly change the different filters surrounding the engine. The best help comes from your ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual. This little book is full of valuable information, including how to find and when to change most of the filters found under the hood. The most important one to change is the air filter, which cleans the air coming into your engine induction system. In the past, this element was easy to find: in cars made in the 1960s, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s, and some from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s, the air filter is under a huge bowl topping the engine. Just unscrew the wing nut, lift the cover, pick up the filter, and replace it with a new one purchased at your local auto parts store. To find the air filter in newer cars, consult your ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual (or,

Art Walk 2012 wrapped up Saturday evening with awards presentations at the Station House Gallery for the most favourite three businesses and favourite three artists voted on by walkers. J&E Gifts and Treasures owners Elaine Winslow (left) and Jan Hermiston (right) won silver in the business group. Reva Schick (centre) won gold for most popular artist. Gold, silver and bronze medals were presented in each category in honour of the Olympic year.

September is Life Literacy Month in Canada and Sept. 8 was 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. Let’s 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, e-mail 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 everchanging 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 chal-

TOUCH OF VICTORIAN ELEGANCE A turret surrounded by an old-fashioned veranda with decorative stone-based pilasters lends the exterior of this generously proportioned four-bedroom home a touch of Victorian elegance. The elegance carries through the covered entry and beyond the double-height foyer. To the right, a charming study occupies the turretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor, with french doors to a veranda. Nearby is a powder room with a coat closet opposite. The great room, complete with a ďŹ replace ďŹ&#x201A;anked by built-in entertainment units, ďŹ&#x201A;ows seamlessly into the bayed-out nook, where a window seat overlooks the back garden. No cook will ever feel isolated in the kitchen, separated only by countertops and an eating bar from the great room and nook. The U-shaped counter conďŹ guration will save steps, and a capacious pantry provides always-needed storage space. Completing this well-designed space is a convenient prep island. Also on the main ďŹ&#x201A;oor is the laundry room, with a handy chute from upstairs and built-in boot shelves. Access from the double garage to the kitchen leads through a mud-room with a useful bench for changing damp or grubby footwear. The design shows regard for the streetscape â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the garageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double doors are hidden, with two partly mullioned street-side windows giving passersby the illusion of lived-in space. On the second ďŹ&#x201A;oor, the master bedroom features

its own private balcony and a walk-in closet. The four-piece ensuite occupies the turret, giving this space the air of a spa retreat. The second and third bedrooms share a spacious four-piece bathroom with a laundry chute. Over the garage, linked to the main house by a sloping walkway, is an unďŹ nished bonus room. With slanting ceilings and a dormer window, this space would make an ideal play area or studio. This home measures 79 feet wide and 50 feet, seven inches deep, totalling 2,673 square feet, plus an unďŹ nished basement. Plans for design 7-4-932 are available for $812 (set of 5), $914 (set of 8) and $977 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 12% H.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges. Our 44TH Edition of the Home Plan Catalogue containing over 300 plans is available for $13.50 (includes taxes, postage and handling).

Hunting Season in the Cariboo

Fall 2012

Searching for the perfect hunting ground The first steps to successful deer hunting are finding the right territory and choosing the right spot to lie in wait for your game. Several factors have to be taken into consideration before setting up your blind. Before you even explore your territory, examine the relevant topographical maps to get an idea of which areas the animals are likely to travel through. A pass between two steep hills opening onto a plain could be a welltravelled deer route. The next step is to walk the territory in the early spring, as soon as the snow has melted and before the leaves appear on the trees. This will let you detect anything that might have happened in the area since the previous fall. If the deer wintered over in local feeding areas, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to see the trails used by your game. The absence of leaves on the trees will give you enough visibility to detect deer rubs made by male deer with their antlers. These, as well as the scrapes where bucks pawed the ground during the rut to attract females, should be noted on your map or your GPS so you can find them again during hunting season. When scouting for

deer, bear in mind that these trails, rubs, and scrapes are often used year after year, especially if the local buck has survived the latest hunting season and winter. It is also important to have more than one hunting site or blind, depending on deer traffic, terrain, and wind direction. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that knowing the direction of the prevailing wind is essential so as not to be detected by the deer. In September, or during the weeks preceding the opening of the hunting season, make the most of any nice days to complete your exploration of the terrain and set up your blinds. If your chosen site is no longer frequented by deer, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to adapt to the situation and scout for another promising spot.

Hunting Season in the Cariboo

Fall 2012

Shake up those decoys! There is no magic recipe for successful hunting. Beyond the basic rules such as ethical behavior, good camouflage, and weapon safety, most of it comes down to luck and good aim. What can differentiate an amateur from a successful hunter is the ability to adapt to

the weather, the surroundings, and the behaviour of your game. In goose hunting, for example, many hunters tend to position their decoys in the same way every time, placing them in a large C or J formation. Some times, however, birds tdonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t land

where you thought they would. That is why it is important to change the layout of your decoys until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found the ideal arrangement for that particular day. You may have to start the same process all over again the following day. Making the effort to move around a couple

dozen decoys between two flights of geese can often make a big difference to the success of the hunt. Try not to look at it as a burden: positioning the decoys is part of the pleasure of the hunt. A sense of satisfaction will come with your success, especially when you can

quickly find the right layout for the day. No pain, no gain, as the saying goes!

Moving your decoys around will make a big difference in your success.
