Taser changes working, judge tells MLAs Tom Fletcher Black Press Retired judge Thomas Braidwood is “very pleased with the response� to his recommendations on the use of Taser stun guns by police in the wake of Robert Dziekanski’s death in 2007. Braidwood testified Tuesday before a legislature committee, after a senior RCMP official reported on training and procedure changes that led to an 87 per cent reduction in use of Tasers to subdue people. Braidwood emphasized that he stands by the core finding of his inquiry, which is that police in B.C. should continue to use them with new training and strict new rules. Those province-wide rules include

requiring police to determine that the subject is causing bodily harm or is about to, and mandate that “de-escalation� or crisis intervention techniques be taught and used before a Taser is. He described a basic technique that could have been used when four Richmond RCMP officers approached a distraught Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport. If one of those officers had simply pulled up a chair and sat down, Braidwood said, Dziekanski would likely be alive today. Similar techniques can defuse even violent domestic disputes, rightly considered by police to be their most dangerous calls, said Braidwood, a former prosecutor who went on to serve as a B.C. Supreme Court and

Court of Appeal justice. The Taser rules also require police to have an automated defibrillator in the car, or in a supervisor’s vehicle in communities of 5,000 people or less. Independent testing of the stun guns is also required, and the rules apply to all municipal police in B.C. as well. On Monday, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Randy Beck told the committee that new training began in 2011. By then the fallout from the Dziekanski case had led to a steep decrease in use of Tasers. Braidwood noted that so far there has not been a corresponding increase in police use of guns. “Have more police officers been injured while restraining violent subjects, or have officers discovered that other tools in their arsenal, such as

training in crisis intervention techniques, have resolved many of these potentially dangerous confrontations without resorting to use of conducted energy weapons?� he asked. “It would appear to be a fruitful area for more research.� Braidwood’s inquiry led not only to new Taser procedures, but also the establishment of B.C.’s new Independent Investigations Office, the civilian-led agency that began work this summer to take control of all police-involved incidents that result in death or serious bodily harm. Braidwood said the steps taken since his inquiry have filled a gap in the civilian oversight of police that is “a fundamental tenet that distinguishes Canada from totalitarian or dictatorial states.�

Tentative agreement reached between BCGEU and CLBC as required under government’s Cooperative Gains Mandate. Government has been clear that there is no new money to fund wage increases and there is no desire to download these costs onto families or future generations. The Cooperative Gains Mandate provides public sector employers with the ability to negotiate modest wage increases through savings within existing budgets. Settlements under the 2012 Mandate are expected to be unique between sectors and between employers in some sectors. “Despite the tough fiscal environment, the tentative agreements announced in the past month show significant progress is being made under the Cooperative Gains Mandate,” Michael de Jong, minister of finance said. No further details on the agreements will be available until ratification is complete.

Critics expelled, Cummins reaches out Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. Conservative Party has established a new “unity committee” after expelling or censuring 15 party members in an effort to stamp out a smouldering rebellion against leader John Cummins. Party president Al Siebring confirmed Monday that letters have gone out to 15 members involved in efforts to oust Cummins. None are identified, and the number whose memberships have been revoked will not be dis-

Later she was joined at a news conference by Burnaby North constituency president Ariane

But as the party went through a fractious recent annual general meeting, Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen quit, and two other members including Chilliwack-Hope byelection candidate John Martin joined the B.C. Liberals. The B.C. Conservatives attracted only 2.4 per cent of the vote in the 2009 election, and have been known more for infighting than electoral success in recent years. The last time the party achieved five per cent of voter support was 1974.

Cummins termed that account an “absolute fabrication.” He set a deadline of Oct. 10 for party members to either unite or resign, and later said 14 people had voluntarily quit. The party said it has added 381 new members since Sept. 3, and continues to collect donations at a pace of $4,000 a week.

A tentative agreement has been reached under the Cooperative Gains Mandate between Community Living BC (CLBC) and the BCGEU, the first at a Crown agency, Moira Stilwell, Minister of Social Development announced Wednesday. “This agreement shows that a Cooperative Gains Mandate can lead to a negotiated settlement without sacrificing services to individuals with developmental disabilities or their families,” Stillwell said. The BCGEU represents about 350 unionized workers at CLBC that deliver support and services to adults with developmental disabilities and their families throughout British Columbia. The two-year agreement provides for modest wage increases, which are being funded from savings found within CLBC’s existing budget, without reducing services or increasing fees,

Premier offers olive branch to teachers Tom Fletcher Black Press Premier Christy Clark announced a review of teacher bargaining Wednesday, with a goal of reaching a 10-year agreement that would put an end to decades of battles with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. Clark and Education Minister Don McRae acknowledged at a Vancouver news conference that changing the culture of confrontation between the B.C. government and teachers won’t be easy, and vowed to put even the most contentious issues on the table for discussion. That includes class size and special needs support, key issues in contract disputes and court actions in recent years. “Our first goal is longterm labour stability with in British Columbia,” Clark said. “Our second goal is to improve how government inter-

acts and works with the BCTF. These two goals will require compromise on all sides of the table, including ours.” BCTF president Susan Lambert said she welcomes the review of the bargaining structure, but is skeptical about the latest promise of meaningful consultation. “It seems to me that talk of a 10-year contract is putting the cart before the horse,” Lambert said. “There seem to be conclusions drawn that would be properly a product of the bargaining table and not a product of a discussion on the bargaining structure.” The offer comes as the BCTF continued a court challenge to a two-year wage freeze that extends until June 2013. After a year of fruitless negotiations and work-to-rule by teachers, the union membership endorsed the two-year contract extension reached in June with government-imposed me-

diator Charles Jago. McRae said the review will take advantage of work currently being done by a task force of school trustees, and two previous reviews completed by independent mediators. In his 2007 report, mediator Vince Ready said the union and the province’s bargaining agent, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, need a system for agreeing on the financial costs of various proposals before they can hope to settle contracts. McRae said he has talked with Lambert about the proposal, and he wants to have consultations with teachers, trustees, parent advisory councils and administrators complete by the end of November. “If there are policy changes or legislative amendments that we need to make, we want to get this work done before bargaining resumes next spring,” McRae said.

Encounters of the dangerous kind I was walking through the horse pasture yesterday when suddenly Mindy, our Morgan, pricked her ears forward and stared at the forest that edges the pasture. Then she started to snort and prance. I looked towards the spot that had caught her attention and saw a dark shape moving steadily through the trees in our direction. Of course you know what I was thinking. I stood rooted to the ground, my eyes bugging out of my head watching the enormous shape move towards me. Fear can make the smallest object appear bigger than it really is, but this really was enormous. It wasn’t just big for a bear; it was big for a bus. It was like three bears stacked on each other’s shoulders. It was the sort of bear that could eat Mindy for an appetizer, Mage for the entree and gobble me down for dessert. And still have room for chickens, sheep and a couple hives of honey. I watched it steadily advance while my knees turned to jelly.

SLICE OF LIFE SHANNON McKINNON

When it sailed effortlessly over the fence I realized, to my great relief, it wasn’t a bear at all. Instead a massive bull moose joined us in the pasture. He took in his pasture mates, shook his big head and then slowly dissected the field jumping the fence on the other side with equal ease. Why is it that I have such a mad fear of bears, but am calm around moose? For the past five or six years a cow moose and her current calf have spent their winters in our yard. She licks the lilacs, munches on the apple trees and swallows berry bushes in three lazy chews. When I’m feeling Zen I admire her beauty and don’t begrudge her

dining habits...too much. On my grouchier days I hurl a few snowballs in her direction or wave my snow shovel in a threatening manner. The outcome is the same. She ignores me. Last February I woke up to the sound of what I thought was Darcy opening the closet door to get dressed for work. And then I realized Darcy was still beside me in bed. Darcy thought I was opening and shutting the bedside table. As the banging noise continued we gaped at one another in the moonlight. Goosebumps landed on top of Goosebumps. What was making the noise? Sitting up to source the sound, Darcy announced, “There’s a moose at the window!” I sat up beside him and sure enough, there framed in the window at the foot of our bed was a massive silhouette of a moose head. As we stared in amazement the moose bunted the window pane. “What should we do? What should we do?”

I babbled, thinking the window was going to smash to pieces at any moment. “Turn on the light!” Darcy said. I jumped up and hit the switch on my side of the bed. We ventured towards the window and saw the cow and her yearling bull calf. Turning on the light startled the cow moose enough to move away from our window, but not enough to leave the yard. Instead she started head butting her calf which was almost as big as she was. We watched as they shoved foreheads, staggering in turn back and forth. We could hear their guttural enraged lowing noises and could only assume we were witnessing either a weaning or a mother at wit’s end with her terrible teen. Darcy ran for his camera. He returned, shut off the lights and turned on the camera. The moose stopped fighting and gaped at the digital light of the camera and then fled like someone had lit their heads on fire. We didn’t get a picture but

it’s an image we’re not likely to forget. And if we are ever awoken by a moose bunting our window pane again at least we know what to do. Grab the camera! Having a moose come knocking in the night isn’t the weirdest wildlife encounter we have ever had, but it’s up there. But what’s really weird is how moose encounters don’t bother me, but bears fill me with horror. Moose can be just as unpredictable and dangerous as a bear. Moreover, I have at least one moose encounter a week and the moose rarely runs. I have one bear encounter a decade and the bear always runs. And yet if we had awoken to a bear knocking on our window I would have lost my mind. As it were, all I had was moose bumps. Shannon McKinnon is a humour columnist from Northern BC.

WILLIAMS LAKE SOCIAL PLANNING COUNCIL’S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

DriveABLE on its way Williams Lake is one of 13 communities that will begin providing the DriveABLE service this year. Together with Campbell River, Duncan, Penticton, Port Alberni, Powell River, Salmon Arm, Terrace, and Vernon, Williams Lake will provide the service closer to clients, helping reduce travel for drivers who are referred to take the cognitive assessment. It’s an expansion that will nearly double the

number of communities providing this service, bringing it up to 28 from a previous level of 15 in 2011, the government says. Four other service centres - Chilliwack, Cranbrook, North Vancouver and Richmond - opened earlier this year. The Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles (OSMV) refers clients to DriveABLE primarily as a result of medical practitioner’s concerns about

an individual’s cognitive abilities in regards to safe driving. In 2011, out of 140,000 driver medical fitness examinations, about 2,700 or two per cent of those drivers were required to undertake the assessment. Government covers the cost of both the in-office and on-road assessments for all drivers that are referred. DriveABLE assessments in Williams Lake will be based out of the local Service BC office. Client levels at all

locations will be monitored to assess how best to provide accessible, cost-effective assessments - particularly in northern and Interior communities which in the past have had very few DriveABLE clients. “It’s great to be able to offer this service here in Williams Lake, cutting down the distance people have to travel to do their DriveABLE assessments,” CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says.

Bullying program to help kids The Canada Safety Council’s focus for National School Safety Week, Oct. 17-23, is to combat cyber bullying by helping children understand the effects of their online actions. “The only way to end bullying is for us all to take a stand against it. I encourage children to be an example to their friends by taking part in anti-bullying efforts in their community. If a child sees someone being bullied, I hope he or she chooses not to join in. If a child is being bullied, I hope he or she can find the courage to report it,” said Don McRae, Minister of Education

The B.C. government supports these national efforts and is also working to keep children safe from cyber bullying, said the government in a press release. Last June Premier Christy Clark launched ERASE Bullying (Expect Respect And a Safe Education), a 10-point strategy to end bullying that includes tools and training to combat cyber bullying. An ERASE Bullying reporting tool is being created so children can anonymously report bullying and the ERASE Bullying website is also underway to provide information and resources for parents.

A five-year, multilevel training program for 15,000 educators and community partners to help them identify and prevent bullying has begun. The initial phase of training includes how to foster safe and caring school communities and empower children to report and stop bullying wherever it happens. By the end of the 2012-13 school year, all school districts will have started this first wave of

training. McRae said the ERASE Bullying reporting tool will make it easier for kids to anonymously report bullying at a time they feel safe. “The new website will have information, resources and tips for parents, and the provincewide training is bringing communities together to keep children safe from bullying and violence wherever it happens.”

Fantasies won’t keep ferries afloat

I

t was a sunny Thanksgiving weekend when I took my first alltransit trip from Victoria to Vancouver for a B.C. Lions football game. Despite all the doomsaying about people shunning ferries because of some media-determined “tipping point” in fares, you wouldn’t have guessed it that weekend. Articulated buses were jammed coming and going from the Tsawwassen terminal to the Canada Line. Returning to Vancouver Island on Sunday, I was struck by the crowds, and the low cost: SkyTrain, express bus, walk-on passenger fare and express bus to Victoria totalled about $20. This explains the surge in walkon traffic. BC Ferries issued bulletins advising first that Tsawwassen’s parking lot and then Swartz Bay’s were full. The Tsawwassen First Nation’s shuttle parking next door was overflowing, with cars tucked into every level space. And even with hourly sailings, the major route had plenty of vehicle traffic, with all available vessels running. Now the long, late summer is gone, and the political theatre resumes. Transportation Minister Mary Polak picked up where the retiring Blair Lekstrom left off, reminding people that BC Ferries is going to deal with rising costs primarily by ceasing the practice of

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

running vessels a third full or less. This comes as “consultation” begins with smaller ferry communities on where and when these sailings will be cut. And it follows the first major price-cap decision by the newly empowered B.C. Ferry Commissioner, Gord Macatee. He now can determine service levels as well as fares, which are permitted to rise about four per cent in each of the next three years. The NDP’s ferry critic, North Coast MLA Garry Coons, has also decided to transition to his government pensions next year. But before he sails away, he has doubled his repertoire of outraged sound bites to two. Along with every coffeeshop know-it-all on the coast, Coons perpetually reminds us that ferries are “part of our highway system.” He remains convinced that this financially illiterate cliché somehow deals with the fact that even a subsidy

approaching $200 million this year can’t keep all those boats afloat forever. A family of four on a long driving trip faces similar price increases, when you factor in tolls, insurance, food and other costs beyond the fuel tank. But for some reason the “government” is supposed to provide special relief to those who choose the most inaccessible places to live. Coons’ latest tack is that

BC Ferries has lost its way, trying to be a fancy cruise ship service instead of giving people basic transportation at an affordable price. That would be terrible if it were true. But those amenities on newer vessels are there because they make money, utilizing staff who have to be on board anyway. As everyone but the NDP seems to grasp, the big costs are fuel, maintenance, and minimum crew levels

to meet federal regulations, regardless of passenger revenue. I was reminded on the last busy weekend of the year that the new Coastal-class ferries kept vehicle capacity the same while increasing passenger space. This choice anticipated today’s travel reality nearly a decade ago. Good thing somebody was able to understand ferries as a business, as opposed to a welfare program for the re-

clusive and the rich. BC Ferries has already cut sailings on the Tsawwassen-Duke point route. As described in an earlier column, this needlessly long run is the biggest boondoggle in BC Ferries history, a Dave Barrett-era payoff to the union that continues today. Changes will now come to other routes that minimize shifts and overtime, rather than inflating them.

A friendly reminder that all columns and letters represent the authors’ opinions, and do not reflect the opinion of the newspaper.

I drove past a house the other day and noticed lazy curls of smoke rising from the chimney. I was surprised, not realized that anyone was living in that house. It had appeared vacant all summer, no cars in the driveway, no evidence of people in the yard, but now it was obvious it was occupied. When I first arrived in the community of Dease Lake many of the houses were government owned, government staff housing. As with most northern and isolated communities, staff turnover was constant and many of the houses were vacant for long periods. In the cold winter months, this became a bit of a concern for those responsible for the houses because every time the hydro power failed (and that was quite frequently), the house was in danger of freezing solid. Constant checks were made make sure the heat was still on, but it was a time consuming chore. One of the employees came up with a brilliant and time saving solution.

BY GERRIT APPERLOO light was on, but if it dropped, the red light came on and the person monitoring the house could tell from a distance whether the house needed to be attended to. I was thinking about these signs of occupancy and of heat in the house when I read some of the statistics about our Canadian population, particularly the number of people who claimed to be Christian. Though the percentage of the population making this claim is in decline, I was still surprised by the number. Where are all these people

on a typical Sunday? Obviously not in church if you look at the church attendance figures. Now, I am not saying that church attendance determines whether one is Christian or not. Many followers of Jesus Christ have become so turned off by organized religion that they refuse to attend organized services. In fact, many even hate the label “Christian� because of the connotations of the term. And the truth is that your car can be parked in the church lot each Saturday or Sunday for years, and you may occupy a space on the pew, but that does not mean you are a follower of Jesus. But there should be some outward indication that you are a Christ follower, shouldn’t there, some sign that you are different because of Jesus. There has to be evidence of occupancy by God. Others should be able to tell you follow Jesus. One pastor told me that those who follow Christ should be like a poorly insulated house – there should be no snow on the roof because of the heat within escaping. Believers in Jesus should want to be telling others about their new life. How is your roof?

My Sweet Patootie set to play at Juniper Trails My Sweet Patootie is set to bring down the house at Juniper Trails Bed and Breakfast Juniper Trails Bed and Breakfast is hosting its second of six fantastic high-calibre house concerts on Thursday, Nov. 1. After hosting a successful first event on Oct. 3, Steve Harkies and Emily Sonntag will once again be turning their parlour into an intimate mini concert hall. “Along with a thoughtful group of friends and music lovers, it’s the perfect recipe for an engaging evening performance with My Sweet Patootie — two parts exemplary musicianship, one part vaudeville comedy,� the couple says. From rural Ontario, My Sweet Patootie (www. mysweetpatootie.com) is an acoustic roots group. Terry Young and Sandra Swannell bring twining

vocal harmonies, monstrous finger style guitar, sizzling fiddle and abundant charisma together in one perfect package. High on the Niagara Escarpment, surrounded by sheep and dairy farmers, My Sweet Patootie creates songs that celebrate the quirkiness of rural and small town life. Whether it’s cheeky finger-snapping swing or moving ballads, their songs have a universal message of living a simple life with charity, thrift, humour, thankfulness, stewardship, community and a passion for one’s work. Complete with tall tales and corny jokes it’s a modern-day music hall show. Carefully placed among the good-time finger-snapping tunes are their exquisite ballads, the heart-breaking gems of the show. 
 
The band’s folk-roots, country blues and vintage jazz sound is heavily

influenced by the record collections that were owned by their fathers. Sound tracks from their childhoods included the likes of Glen Miller, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Les Paul & Mary Ford and the Andrews Sisters. “And don’t forget to throw in their penchant for light-hearted satire and their love of artists like Patsy Cline and Hank,� Harkie and Sonntag add.
 During this year’s season, folk-music enthusiasts can enjoy a series of six live concerts with high-calibre Canadian and international performers in Williams Lake, thanks to Home Routes (www. homeroutes.ca) and Juniper Trails Bed and Breakfast. As part of the “Blue Moon� circuit, musicians on the circuit play a total of 12 house concerts in 14 days, working their way through the southern half

of British Columbia. Juniper Trails provides the musicians with meals and accommodations. Therefore, audiences get an evening of high-calibre music, and artists are spared the major expenses of touring, thus putting more money in their pockets. Haries and Sonntag invite music lovers to join other music lovers at Juniper Trails for an extraordinary amount of fun, supporting exciting and fascinating professional performing artists. A great selection of homemade desserts and refreshments will be offered. Doors open at 7pm. Seating is limited so don’t miss out on seeing “My Sweet Patootie�, the couple suggest. For more information and to reserve your seats, contact Steve and Emily at 250-398-8296 or info@ junipertrails.ca.

Don’t get caught in marketing trap Children are often the focus of food marketing campaigns. Companies view children as having significant purchasing power because of their influence on parents and caregivers. Many of these campaigns influence children’s food preferences, food choices and the products they request and the results are not always healthy. Children are often targeted in the grocery store through packaging, labelling, pricing and product placement. Food products use bright colours, characters, shapes, and flavours to grab the attention of children. Manufacturers pay extra to have their product located at eye level, at the end of

aisles and at the cashier in the hopes that their attractively packaged products will be noticed by children. Many products marketed to children are high in sugar, fat, and salt. With the increasing rates of childhood obesity in Canada the food preferences and choices of children is a growing concern. Â Parents can learn to successfully navigate the grocery store and avoid the lure and temptation of less healthy options for children. Look beyond the flashy claims on the product label. For instance, a beverage package may use big colourful fonts to draw attention to its high vitamin and mineral content;

however, it may not be as obvious that the beverage also contains lots of sugar because the food manufacturer does not draw attention to this information. Check the Nutrition Facts table, especially the percent daily value and the ingredient list. Bring two grocery lists to the store — one for yourself and one for your child. Make sure the lists include healthy choices. Children can help grocery shop by looking for items on their list. If children are influenced by labels and placement of less healthy food, divert their attention back to the items still needed

on their grocery list. Make sure your child has eaten something before going to the grocery store with you. A hungry shopper, whether a child or adult, is more likely to be tempted by unhealthy foods. So next time you and the kids head to the grocery store do a little planning, make some lists and don’t forget to think critically about all those flashy claims right before your eyes. Rose Soneff, Community Nutritionist with Interior Health in collaboration with the UBC Dietetics Program’s Cherice Lo and Laurel Zvaigzne

UNBC excavation uncovers Centuries-worth of artifacts The Department of Anthropology at the University of Northern British Columbia recently finished excavating the remains of an ancient fishing village on the Babine River 100km northeast of Smithers. The project was part of a continuing partnership between the Department, the University, and the Lake Babine Nation (LBN). “We recovered a tremendous amount of interesting data, including over 400 artifacts made from stone, bone, bark and metal,” says UNBC Anthropology Professor Farid Rahemtulla who directed the project. “The nature of these materials indicates potentially a large time span of use for the house, from ancient times to

European contact and into more recent times.” A crew including several UNBC student volunteers spent six weeks in July, August, and September excavating the remains of one of the many long houses at the ancient fishing village. “Contributing to such a project at an undergraduate level was extremely valuable in developing skills and experiencing the time, work, and emotions that are put into a project,” says UNBC Anthropology student Delaney Prysnuk. “Understanding and applying the concepts and politics that we are taught in class in a real life situation is very important.” In 2010, the village was the focus of UN-

BC’s Archaeology Field School, which revealed that the settlement was at least 1,300 years old. As a result of those findings, the LBN invited the Department to conduct a more researchintensive excavation, funded by the LBN Treaty Office. Lake Babine Nation expressed its appreciation for the efforts of Dr. Rahemtulla and said it is pleased to see the protocol agreement between Lake Babine and UNBC resulting in such mutually beneficial projects. “These findings confirm the histories that our elders have passed on to us,” says Chief Wilfred Adam of Lake Babine Nation. “It is gratifying to see multi-year projects such as this one moving ahead. We look

forward to working with UNBC on many more projects in the future.” Dr. Rahemtulla says the next step will be to conduct a number of analyses, and some of the UNBC graduate students on the crew will use the information for their thesis research. When the results become available, the group plans to publish the work and give public presentations about the project.

Mountain bike tourism on the rise Mountain Bike tourism in Williams Lake and the Cariboo Region is a major contributor to the economy. It is also one of the fastest growing tourism sectors in the Cariboo, says the city in a press release. Since 2010, the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium has been working in collaboration with the City of Williams Lake to develop and promote mountain bike tourism. Infrastructure such as the Boitanio bike park, kiosks around town and highway signage, was implemented early on and helped to set a structure for visiting riders. With a world class trail network and infrastructure in place to support it, the Consortium and City worked together to advertise the region using the ridethecariboo. ca website as an information portal. With matching funds from Northern Development Initiative Trust and the Community Tourism Opportunities program of the Ministry of Jobs Tourism and Innovation, the City invested in an intensive

Pinkbike.com advertising strategy. Pinkbike.com is the largest mountain bike website in the world and receives over 1.5 million visits per month. A series of ads that focus on regional events and the general Cariboo riding experience was initiated in April of 2012. With additional funding from Northern Development, a strategic billboard was placed on the Seato-Sky corridor to drive traffic to the website. These tactics, in combination with general visitor feedback and word of mouth marketing through events and other activities, have generated a substantial increase in website traffic. Compared to 2011, the 2012 ridethecariboo. ca activity has increased by 207 per cent to more than 7,800 visits at mid-point in the 2012 season. The number of page views has risen to 34,145 with a constant 30 to 50 per cent new visitor trend. This indicates the ridethecariboo.ca web initiative is proving to be one of the most successful of the Con-

DRILL TEAM

sortium strategies to increase visitors to the area. A current economic assessment completed by the Consortium shows that since 2010 there has been an average 30 per cent increase in trail system usage. The 2012 estimates for direct mountain bike visitor spending are estimated at $294,538 annually. Total indirect mountain bike visitor spending impact is estimated at $427,081 annually. The 2012 data indicates a 21 per cent increase in mountain bike visitor spending since 2010. Moving into 2013, the City and Consortium will continue to work together to promote mountain biking in Williams Lake and the Cariboo with a second Pinkbike.com campaign, by renewing the billboard on the seato-sky highway and by attending the Outdoor Adventure Show in Vancouver where they will speak directly with travel minded mountain bikers. Website analytics indicate that this has been a great investment,

and the City and Consortium look forward to seeing advertising lead to increased web traffic and visitor spending in future years.  â€œThis economic assessment shows that our partnership is working, increasing trail usage and the number of visitors to the community,â€? says Mayor Kerry Cook. “Mountain Bike tourism has the great potential to attract even more visitors and economic activity as we move forward.â€? “We are very pleased about our partnership with the City of Williams Lake. City staff and Council have shown great leadership in the mountain bike sector, and we will be looking to other Cities and the Regional District in search of similar partnerships,â€? says Justin Calof, Executive Director of the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium. â€œAs we all attempt to diversify the regional economy in the wake of the mountain pine beetle, mountain biking will be an increasingly important sector to attract new visitors and retain workers.â€?

News Police update families on Highway of Tears

DELYNDA PILON Prince George Free Press There was a bit more optimism in the room than usual during an annual meeting that included family members of young women who went missing or were murdered along the Highway of Tears. The optimism comes after police announced on Sept. 25 that Bobby Jack Fowler was responsible for at least one of those murders and that he remains a suspect in other deaths. The break, after so many years, came as a result of improvements in DNA technology. Mary Teegee with Carrier Sekani Family Services said advances in technology combined with the tips that have been coming in to police is what is fuelling the families’ optimism. “The idea of today’s meeting is to remember the victims,� Insp. Gary Shinkaruk with EPANA, said. “Although we try to feel the true pain and utter despair they feel

everyday, it’s good to get together.� He added they try to update families as they can, but for some of them it has been decades with no idea what happened to their loved one. Over the nine years the annual meeting among the missing and murdered women’s loved ones has been taking place, it has evolved to include various support groups. On Wednesday, about 40 people were gathered together, 20 of whom were family members. Others represented organizations like Victim’s Services, the RCMP, Carrier Sekani Family Services and senior investigators with EPANA. Brenda Wilson, whose sister, Ramona, was 15 when she was murdered along the Highway of Tears, said it is heartening to see these organizations come together and collaborate in an effort to find answers. “It brings hope to us. We’re not doing this alone anymore,� she

said. She said she knows the cases continue to be investigated, not just on a daily basis, but every second. Eighteen years ago, when her sister went missing, she said her mom and her felt alone. Nicole Hoar was 25 when she went missing on June 21, 2002. “At this point I think they’ve made a lot of progress,� her dad, Jack, said, adding their were 1,500 tips for police to investigate after his daughter went missing. “They’ve gone through the chaff.� However he said there is still a lot of information required. He said he believes there is someone out there who knows something. Perhaps that person was afraid to come forward at the time of his daughter’s disappearance. “Now they might be more comfortable,� he said. Teegee said people uncomfortable talking to the police about what they know are welcome to call her office.

“Any information is valuable. If someone is not comfortable, definitely contact our office, and we will follow up with that,� she said. Hoar was last seen hitchhiking west of Prince George, heading to Smithers. Educating young women about the dangers of hitchhiking is an example of one of the things the family members discuss during their meeting. In fact, the families forwarded 33 recommendations to the government in a bid to build a safer environment for

young women. Teegee said, as of yet, not all of those recommendations have been realized. Meanwhile, the investigation into Bobby Jack Fowler’s life continues. Shinkaruk said about 300 tips came in following their announcement. Tips on the other murders and disappearances continue to come in. “Even if you think it’s trivial, or it’s something you think we already know, please call,� he said.

Period of PURPLE Crying Program helps keep B.C. babies safe Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux was joined by elementary school students, volunteers, moms and babies for a purple cap knit-in at BC Children’s Hospital Thursday. The annual Click for Babies - Purple Caps Knit-In event helps to raise awareness of shaken baby syndrome and how to prevent it. Since its full implementation in January 2009, the breakthrough Period of PURPLE Crying Program has helped reduce the number of cases of abusive head trauma in B.C. infants six months and younger by 58 per cent. About 45,000 babies are born in British Columbia each year. All parents of newborns in B.C. receive a copy of the DVD, which includes a 17-minute film on ways to soothe their babies and an 11page booklet called ‘Did you know your infant would cry like this?’ before being discharged from the hospital. To date, approxi-

mately 170,000 B.C. families have received these materials. Through the DVD and booklet, new moms and dads learn that it is never okay to shake a baby. The program helps parents and caregivers understand that babies can cry a great deal, up to five hours a day in the first two to five months of life. The training tools explain that the characteristics of infant crying are normal, temporary and not the fault of the caregiver. The B.C. government has invested $1.6 million since 2008 to implement the program in all B.C. health units and birthing hospitals. The program is led by the Prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome BC program at BC Children’s Hospital. Additional funders and in-kind contributors include the National Centre on Shaken Baby Syndrome, the Ministry of Health, the BC Injury Prevention Unit, BC Children’s Hospital and Child Health BC. The Rick

Hansen and Vancouver Foundations also provided one-time funding to the program. As part of the annual knit-in event, elementary school students and volunteers knit purple caps and create handwritten cards for newborn babies. The caps will be given to babies in hospitals and public health units in November and December. Last year, approximately 8,000 caps were created and distributed to families. Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) staff are proud knitters and contributors to the program. This year, MCFD staff throughout B.C. knitted 500 purple caps for the cause. “This program is an important resource that helps educate parents and caregivers about normal infant crying, especially inconsolable crying, and how to handle it. Since its full implementation in 2009, the Period of PURPLE Crying Program has helped to save the lives of babies in B.C. As a

government, we are proud to help support this worthwhile program,� Cadieux said. Minister of health Margaret MacDiarmid said while becoming a new parent is a wonderful experience, it can also be very overwhelming and stressful. “This program gives parents and caregivers the supports they need while providing them with simple steps that can help soothe their baby. Our goal is to help parents cope with the stress that can often accompany the beginning of parenthood.� Marilyn Barr, founder and director of Period of PURPLE Crying Program, acknowledged that the financial support from the B.C. government has been an investment in saving babies lives. “Shaking an infant can cause serious brain injury, even death. The program also supports parents through a very difficult time when their babies can cry more than any other time in their lives,� she said.

Shortly after 9:00 pm on Thursday, October 11, the Williams Lake RCMP responded to the 1100 block of 2nd Avenue North for several complaints related to a street fight. Upon police arrival, the alleged melee could not be located however a few pedestrians were located in and around the area. In speaking with these witnesses, it was confirmed that several people engaged in a serious physical altercation where machetes and bear spray were used. Two of the combatants were later located at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital with related injuries however were uncooperative and did not wish to disclose any information. These individuals are well known to the police and the attack appears to be mutually agreed upon by both sides.

Obituaries

The Shining Light that was our Mom, Melanie Alma Ingeborg Nothnagel, passed quietly from this life on Thursday, October 11th, 2012, in her 96th year, without pain, and in the arms of her children. Melanie leaves behind friends and family who loved her, in her adopted city of Ottawa, where she married Kenneth Watson Nothnagel and raised her family. She also leaves behind friends and family in Williams Lake BC, where she lived for the last 5 years with her daughter Meta and son-in-law Nick. She will be sorely missed by all, including grandchildren Melissa, Shawn, Kristin, Cassidy and her son Ian. We have been so blessed to have had her in our lives for this long. Melanie was a wonderful spirit, full of love, laughter, goodness, giving and joy and she will live in our hearts forever. She found joy in all things, whether a sunny day, flowers, birds, cats, small dogs, a drive in the country, or a good cup of tea. We love you Mom, and thank you for instilling in us the honest values with which to live our lives. Services will be held in Ottawa where her ashes will be laid to rest beside her husband, Kenneth. We would ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her name to the Canadian Cancer Society, the SPCA, or animal shelter of your choice.

Myrna Kay Sutherland In the early hours of Friday, Oct 5, 2012, after a 22 year battle with cancer, our beloved Myrna Kay Sutherland of Williams Lake passed peacefully in her sleep at the age of 56. She was predeceased by her father Roland Clearwater of Steep Rock, Manitoba who died in 1985 and her mother-in-law Susan Sutherland who died in 1998. She is survived by her mother Muriel Clearwater of Winnipeg, Manitoba, her brother Glenn Clearwater of Steep Rock, Manitoba and a loving family; husband Jim Sutherland, son Neil Sutherland, daughter Heather Peterson, sonin-law Scott Peterson, grandson Earl James Peterson, and granddaughter Ella Sue Peterson - all of Williams Lake. She will also be remembered by her father-in-law James Sutherland of Yuma, Arizona, sister-in-law Corry Williams of Williams Lake and other family members and many close friends. Myrna was born in Ashern, Manitoba on January 11, 1956. She grew up in the small town of Steep Rock, Manitoba. She and her brother Glen were bused to high school at the nearby town of Moosehorn. When she was in the ninth grade she met and became friends with her future husband Jim Sutherland who was living with his parents at the Canadian Forces base at Gypsumville. Jim moved from the area at the end of that school year but returned for a visit in 1973 where he reunited with Myrna. Soon after, he phoned his mother to declare that he had “met the girl he was going to marry.” And he did. They were married on May 8, 1976 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They set up house in Thunder Bay, Ontario where Jim was finishing his Forestry degree. While in Thunder Bay, Myrna started working for the Royal Bank and continued to work for the bank until her passing. In 2001 she was named top performer through the Royal Performance Awards program and was awarded a Caribbean cruise for two. Like all the times they shared together, Jim and Myrna thoroughly enjoyed their Caribbean vacation. Myrna and Jim were happily married for over 36 years. Myrna’s life was far too short but it was full of love, family and friends. Above all, Myrna was a happy and vibrant person. To know her was to love her. The day she died the earth became a little dimmer but heaven became a whole lot brighter. Myrna’s service was held on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at St. Andrews United Church in Williams Lake. A heart-felt and befitting eulogy was given by her sisterin-law and very dear friend, Corry Williams. She is now resting with her mother-in-law Susan Sutherland in the Williams Lake cemetery.

Don’t get tricked when buying Halloween treats According to the National Retail Federation, Canadians will spend about $75 per person (most of it on costumes). It’s a holiday we love, and retailers respond to. Often specialty stores will set up shop in October and are gone the minute Halloween is over. “During the month of October, we see pop-up stores offering costumes and other Halloween related items and we are concerned consumers are at risk ending up with subpar or defective merchandise,” says Danielle Primrose, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) serving Mainland British Columbia. “We would like consumers to find out if the company has a track record, and find out information about refund policies. In most cases products would be final sale.” When shopping at seasonal, temporary Halloween stores, and especially last-minute, it’s important to exercise caution. The BBB is advising shoppers to know the red flags and read the fine print to avoid fly-by-night costume venders. Even if the store has a returns policy, you should go in with the assumption that whatever you buy is yours to keep, no matter what. Here are some BBB tips to make sure your Halloween is “spooktacular” fun: Do your research. Many seasonal stores are run by reputable retailers who take advantage of short-term leases on vacant space to set up temporary stores to augment their permanent space, but other shops may be in and out in a matter of weeks. While it is always good to check out a shop’s BBB Business Review at www. mbc.bbb.org, some seasonal businesses change their name from one year to the next as a way of disguising a poor track record. Read the fine print. Just because it’s a seasonal store doesn’t mean that the store or the business backing it up doesn’t have the same responsibilities as a year-round operation. Know what to expect before renting a costume. Rental costumes tend to be sturdier and more elaborate than the aver-

age Halloween costume, and you can often find something unique. Make sure you understand you

responsibilities. What happens if, for example, the costume rips, you get a stain on it, or you lose

it altogether? Do you have to pay for the whole costume? What about the cleaning? Make sure ev-

erything is spelled out in the rental agreement. When purchasing costumes online, do it se-

curely. Check a site’s security settings. If the site is secure, its URL (web address) should start with

“https://.” You also may see a small picture of a closed lock in the lower right corner of the screen.
