As promised the RCMP and community policing had a full presence for the first day of school in Williams Lake Wednesday. Here, Citizens on Patrol volunteers Clay Myers, Andy Sullivan, Dale Benastick and Don Branch remind motorists of speed limits and cell phone use on Western Avenue. Community policing co-ordinator Dave Dickson said 750 vehicles went past on Western Avenue. Eight drivers were not wearing seat belts and one “prominent” community person was seen driving and talking on a cell phone not once, but two times, and will be receiving a warning letter from Williams Lake Insp. Warren Brown. A second patrol took place near Marie Sharpe School and at 150 Mile House Thursday. Drivers are reminded that the 30 kilometre an hour speed limit is now in effect during school days and that extra caution should be taken to watch for students who are walking or cycling.

Williams Lake city councillor Surinderpal Rathor has been charged with obstruction of justice, police said. The news broke Thursday when Const. Lesley Smith, media relations with North District RCMP, issued a press release stating Rathor was arrested that morning after a warrant was issued. “These charges stem from an investigation where on Dec. 24, 2012, Surinderpal Rathor assisted police as a translator for a criminal code case. Rathor allegedly interfered with that investigation beyond his role as a translator,” Smith said, refusing to comment further on the case. On Thursday afternoon, Rathor told the Tribune/Weekend Advisor he and his wife are very “disturbed and shocked” by the day’s incidents. “We are taking the whole investigation very seriously,” Rathor said. “I can’t make any more statements because the matter is before the courts.” Rathor said as a Canadian he has full faith in the justice system. “I am 100 per cent sure that justice will prevail.” See RATHOR Page A3

“I just got off the phone with Surinder,” Cook said later that afternoon, adding there is nothing in the community charter prohibiting Rathor from being an elected official of the city of Williams Lake.
“It’s clearly communicated in the community charter.” “As a city we are going to be respectful of the process and respectful of the individual involved as we move forward.” Rathor said everyone is innocent until proven guilty and he has full intention to continue serving as he has in the past. This is the first time a city councillor has been arrested while Cook has served on council. “It’s all new territory,” she said.
AN APPLE A DAY...
We all know that smoking is bad for our health. It has been shown that middle aged men who smoke show a more rapid decline in brain function as they age compared to men who don’t smoke. So here is another active step male smokers can make to reduce their risk of Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Quit smoking. If you have children, it’s good to have a digital thermometer in the house to take their temperature when they are ill. The advantage of the new digital units is that they can record temperatures in the mouth, armpit or rectum in under a minute. The old mercuryfilled thermometers are no longer recommended. The ear thermometers are not recommended for newborns. It’s always interesting when research is done on a certain food and its effect on disease. Some good studies have shown a reduction in the risk of getting Parkinson’s Disease when people eat peppers 2-4 times a week. No one is quite sure why but making them part of your diet can’t hurt.
around the residence, he heard glass break and looked out to see a male in green shorts and a white shirt leave the side of the residence and get into a black sports car. All of the occupants of the residence were sleeping and woke up to breaking glass and bear spray. Two of the occupants in the residence were taken to the hospital for decontamination. The matter is still under

Des Webster starts as new fire chief Former Williams Lake fire department fire inspector and deputy fire chief Des Webster has assumed his new role as director of protective services and fire, following the retirement of Randy Isfeld. Webster joined the WLFD in 1994 as a paid on-call fire fighter, and started full time as fire inspector with the rank of captain. He was promoted to assistant chief in 2006 and to deputy chief in 2008, and hired as the director of protective services this summer. “Most people strive to retire at the pinnacle
of their career, I am no different,” Webster said. “However, to be able to fulfill that aspiration within my home department, where I have spent my whole career, is an added bonus.” Isfeld joined the WLFD in 1976, and was a volunteer firefighter for 10 years before joining the department fulltime. He became fire chief in 2008. “I’ve had a tremendous career with the fire department,” Isfeld said. “The members and the staff are like family, and I will miss working with them every day.”

UBCM, fire protection bylaw discussed at council UBCM agm coming up Williams Lake city council has authorized attendance, travel, accommodation and associated expenses for the mayor and council and city chief administrative officer to attend the 2013 Union of B.C. Municipalities annual convention in Vancouver, Sept. 15-20. The cost is approximately $3,495 per person, excluding applicable taxes. This year’s convention theme is Navigating the Local Landscape. The UBCM 2013 Convention will provide an opportunity to establish policies that provide clear direction for all B.C. local governments. The UBCM 2013 Convention will provide tools, resources and inspiration for navigating the complex local government landscape. City/CRD renew recreation contract The City of Williams Lake has renewed its contract with the Cariboo Regional District to manage the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex for another five years. The five-year, Central Cariboo Recreation and Leisure Services Facility Management agreement includes an annual increase of 1.75 per cent in each year of the term paid to the city to cover
the net operating costs for the facility. Fire Protection and Control Bylaw No. 2189 Council gave three readings, Tuesday, Aug. 27 to Fire Protection and Control Bylaw No. 2189, which sets regulations for fire protection and control in the City. The Williams Lake Fire Protection and Control Bylaw No. 1947 was adopted in 2004. The
decision was made in 2013 to review the bylaw and update as necessary, however, once the review was completed it was decided to revamp the bylaw entirely to make it a more up-todate and easier to use document changes to the bylaw include: • Bylaw No. 2189 now gives the fire chief the authority to secure or have secured fire damaged and vacant buildings. • The City will have
the ability to recover costs whenever the fire department is dispatched to a hazardous materials incident. • Residents will now have the opportunity to have small backyard fires provided they are contained in a factory made commercially available fire pit. • Family fireworks are permitted to be sold between Oct. 24 and Oct. 30 each year. The fire department currently has no way of knowing who
was selling these fireworks and in what quantities. The fireworks sales permit will allow the fire department to track these sale locations, limit quantities and ensure that storage of the fireworks complies with Natural Resources Canada requirements.

GETTING YOUR HOME READY FOR THE FALL MARKET
1. You have a small window of opportunity in the fall market which typically runs from the first of September to the end of October. Know your market and price within it. 2. When choosing a realtor keep in mind that not all Realtors are the same! Be as wary of quotes that are too low as those that are too high. 3. Appearance does matter - you only have one opportunity to make a “first impression”. Tidy, declutter, fix and replace. 4. Disclose everything - be proactive in disclosing all known defects. Disclosing issues gives the buyer a sense of honesty, and reduce the risk of liability or lawsuit later on. 5. Keep emotions in check during negotiations. Treat any offer in a business-like manner. You have three options when an offer comes in: 1. Accept the offer; 2. Reject the offer; or 3. Counter the offer.

City receives public input on intersection changes LeRae Haynes Special to the Weekend Advisor The city held an open house to solicit public input on proposed changes to intersections that impact Highway 97, Toop Road, Carson Drive and 11th Avenue. The Ministry of Transportation offered a public input meeting in June to hear ideas and concerns, and that process was continued from the city’s perspective, at a public information meeting, Wednesday, Aug. 28 in the city council chambers. Based on public input from the June meeting, several changes have been made in the proposed traffic options, according to Ministry of Transport project manager Lisa Miller. She said that keeping Toop Road and Johnson “opened up” was very important to residents and that people felt that the “pet underpass” was too far up the highway. Miller added that Cariboo Custom Monogram will be

The Ministry of Transporation and Infrastructure continues to look at intersection options for Highway 97 North at Toop and Johnson roads. “bought out”, but that Panago Pizza will not. This is the second part of phase two of the Ministry of Transport project. “In June we received a lot of positive feedback about the overall project from the public in Williams Lake; the main point here is hearing back from the city about what their residents feel
will work best,” Miller explained. “The next phase is getting into negotiations and more detailed design with the city based on this input.” City planning and operations director Geoff Goodall said that they have been working on this for about seven years. “There have been two fatalities that I
know of in the area of Toop and 11th and several subsequent studies were commissioned that led to the need for a different configuration,” he explained. “This is the functional design stage of this project, and after this public information session input tonight we will tell council what we’ve heard and the
changes they agree on will be sent to the Ministry of Transport.” He added that this particular area is critical because it’s the main north south road through the province and there is a significant amount of traffic. “The Ministry’s always looking at ways to improve traffic flow; there are some connection points that aren’t safe right now — the configuration makes them sub-standard — and the idea is to try to keep the flow of traffic but also keep it safe when it comes to the connections to our city.” “When all is said and done I want everyone to be excited about these changes and how they will benefit the community,” Miller said. “Moving the intersection will be such a great improvement; I am excited to deliver the project and want to make sure the community is behind it.” For more information on the project, visit www.caribooconnector.com

Harvest Fair best in show this weekend If it’s a fall fair you’re looking for, head down to Stampede Park in Williams Lake this weekend for some good ol’ country fun. Saturday there will be 4-H education displays in the Trail Riders Arena and Exhibit Hall, spinning and weaving demos, activities for children, beef show and judging as well as remote control demos, draft horse wagon rides and a cattle and sheep grooming demo plus entertainment throughout the day on the Tolko Stage. Expect more of the same Sunday, with the added fun
of the annual rooster crowing contest and bale toss at 2 p.m. Of course, the exhibit hall will open its doors both days to visitors starting at 10 a.m. and will showcase the baking, preserving and quilting talents of many of our friends and neighbours. To go along with the fair festivities, there will also be rodeos to take in, such as the Little Britches Rodeo as well as a Harvest Ranch rodeo challenge. Harvest Ranch action gets underway at the Stampede Grounds 4 p.m. Friday, and at 10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7.
Little Britches starts at 10 on Saturday and again at 9 a.m. Sunday and will show off much of our young up-andcoming rodeo talent. If that’s not enough for you, a gymkhana fit for the whole family will take place Sunday, Sept. 8 at the outdoor Trail Riders Arena. This event gets underway at 10 a.m. So let’s get our cowboy boots on one more time, and show our appreciation to all the volunteers who worked hard throughout the year to make this great community-building event possible.

Heroes – or cardboard cutouts?
Those whimsical figures set up to trap tourists always draw me in. If I had thought to take pictures of silly cutouts over the years, I would have quite a collection by now. During one recent trip, after tiring of astronauts, hula girls and pirates, three of my slightly grown-up children posed as tulips. Passers-by laughed, particularly when they realized the lanky growths beneath the blossoms were not stems, but legs! Fun, yes! But why masquerade? Life is simply a shallow front if we have no character. Ads, signs, magazines and billboards display so much of fun and appearance, but precious little about charac-

ter. We will exit unsatisfied if we leave only trails of pain or laughter, and never make a real difference. Sometimes we fill our empties
with more empties, becoming those things we dislike in others, instead of stopping our parade and choosing to change. Only one thing is needed for me to be a better friend, wife, employee, or hero. As one of my children said when choosing a different behaviour: “I decided.” Heroes are often defined as doers of the impossible, but my heroes are the simple and unsung. Spouses who stay and improve a tough marriage. Young people who stick with hard classes. Even a movie character in “Courageous” who chose honesty over his job. Character is the real hero, not the shallow shrine of superficial priorities. Character dares to cross the line between excuse and responsibility. Character refuses
to wallow in criticism. When faced with gossip it chooses not to copycat. Character is born when love crowds out opportunism, principle trumps pleasure, and encouragement shoves anger aside. When we choose character we become our own heroes. In life’s earthquakes, our principles are often shaken. Like books, we may tumble from a rattling bookshelf. But life has a way of taking us back to the places from which we fell. This is a great fortune, for I often need the discipline of a “do-over” or a “next time.” Without character I’d be stuck with “I wish I had”. The author of a 1903 book entitled ‘Education’ writes, “The greatest want of the world is the want of men - men
who will not be bought or sold; men who in their inmost souls are true and honest . . . men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.” Men, or women, or even September’s children as they begin school. Real education is more than the 3 R’s. It is character, pure and simple. So we can be standouts, not cutouts! Cutouts remind me that I carve my own future - that I am created by what I choose. Perhaps by the time I see another be-whiskered tulip I will be less of a cutout and a bit more of a hero. Then those around me can better enjoy Living OutLoud, too. LOL@caribooadvisor.com.

Reflecting on economic development There has been much talk about economic development in the Cariboo Chilcotin lately and especially now since the New Prosperity Mine hearings started in Williams Lake in mid July. Employment and economic development are the keys to growth in this part of the country and the City of Williams Lake along with Quesnel and 100 Mile are supporting the New Prosperity Mine. Chambers of Commerce, many businesses, and those wanting to see jobs here for our children are also in favour of this enterprise that would employ more than 500 people year around and contribute tax money that goes to hospitals, education, highways and First Nations. Former Chief of the Xeni Gwet’in Nemiah, Marilyn Baptise has talk-
Contemplating Ken
with Ken Wilson
ed about economic development during the New Prosperity Mine hearings. She specifically mentioned tourism as one area where this could be economically viable, but this could take some time to develop. One of the top First Nations persons for economic development in Canada is Chief Clarence Louie of the Osoyoos Indian Band since 1985. Through leases and joint venture they have built business relation-
ships that have created social and employment opportunities for both native and non-native people in the south Okanagan. The Osoyoos Band has an RV Park, golf course, a resort, and vineyards. NK’Mip winery was named number 1 winery in B.C. and second in Canada. They have a business park, a construction business and a conference centre along with other businesses. Frank Busch a, Cree First Nations, is the director of information and marketing with the First Nations Finance Authority in Westbank, BC. He says he has travelled to about 200 First Nations and Metis Communities and said with a few exceptions he saw mostly poverty and despair. Common on most of these communities was
high unemployment, up to 80 per cent in some instances. He suggests that Calvin Helin’s book Dances with Dependency changed his way of thinking about Aboriginal economic development. Calvin Helin is a First Nations lawyer, economist and advocate for Aboriginal rights. Helin believes what has been crippling the Aboriginal community for 150 years is dependence on government programs and services. First Nations must take part in the Canadian economy with private sector employment, business starts and entrepreneurship. Busch also states that contrary to some politicized views of many Aboriginal policy types, it is possible to adapt to a larger economy while maintaining their Aborig-
inal culture, language and heritage. Economic Development such as the New Prosperity Mine does not come along every year. All communities, First Nations included, have the oppor-
tunity to benefit from this new mine in the CaribooChilcotin. Thanks to Taseko for keeping faith in your proposed mine and in the good folks of the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Chef and restaurant manager Lawrence Lampson at Kinikinik restaurant in Redstone prepared pizzas, fresh breads and other delicacies in a beautiful Italian oven at the restaurant’s ‘soft’ opening recently. Guests enjoyed a range of fresh, iced, natural teas and coffees and live music at the event. The restaurant is in conjunction with the Pasture-to-Plate ranch and the Chilcotin Harvest abattoir. The grand opening of the facility will take place in June 2014.
of it just hits the spot. What to serve company on a nice evening when you are having a barbecue these days, and not wanting to serve macaroni and cheese? Keep it simple ... pick up some tasty Cariboo corn and have a cob roast on the barbecue or on a campfire ... soak the corn with husks on and then place on the barbecue, rotating until done … husk the corn and don’t burn yourself ... keep some melted butter on the side. You can always barbecue chicken, ribs, pork tenderloin, steak, beef roasts or anything else that suits your fancy, like a nice rainbow trout sprinkled with lemon zest and dill. Here’s an idea for a tasty dinner that your company should enjoy. Get four sirloin steaks, six to eight ounces each and they should only be about half an inch thick ... skinny steaks. Steak with Garlic and Lime. 4 skinny steaks and two onions Adobo Sauce … use for marinating and brushing steaks when cooking ½ cup of fresh lime juice 5 cloves of garlic
½ tsp. of ground cumin ½ tsp. of fresh ground pepper 1 tsp. of ground sea salt 2 tbsp. olive oil Put together garlic, cumin, salt and pepper in a mortar and grind into a paste with the pestle, then put in the lime juice and oil to make a paste ... you could also do this in a blender. Put the steaks in a baking dish and cover with the adobo sauce to marinate for about 20 minutes ... make sure you have enough sauce left to brush the meat while cooking. Put the steaks on the bar-by after you have put some oil, pepper and salt on them ... cook for maybe three minutes per side and brush with the sauce. Let sit for a few minutes before serving ... you can put any leftover sauce in a dish so guests can have extra if desired. Put this together with a little local corn and perhaps some garden greens or tomatoes and you have a wonderful barbecue dinner. Happy belated birthday to an older … really old … Brian Goodrich. Bye for now and Go-o-od cooking.

Trevor Todorowich is the owner of Twisted and Tortured Inkworkz, located at 525 Borland Street, Williams Lake. In February of 2009 he was accepted to participate in CFDC’s Business Planning and Marketing Workshop. It took a little convincing to get sponsorship for his business as the powers-that-be didn’t see much of a future in tattooing at the time. Thankfully, they changed their minds. What started out as an empty shell became the place that is now his second home. Often he spends more hours at his work then at home. It has been coming together little bits at a time and all the pieces finally seem to fit together perfectly. His clientele never ceases to amaze him. Last December he decided to do a food drive at his studio. A minimum $10 donation
of non-perishable food earned an entry for 2 hours of tattoo time. He posted this campaign on Facebook and people seemed to be in a race to drop their donation off at his studio. He was able to make a cash donation of $740 and over $3,000 worth of food to the Women’s Contact Society as well as 3 boxes and 2 huge bags of gently used clothing to Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Since its success, it will now become an annual event. When starting your own business there is a long road between how you think everything is going to turn out and reality, that road has a lot of speed bumps. At times goals seem unobtainable, these are the times to slow down and think a few steps ahead of that very goal. Luckily he had great moral support and enough belief in himself to keep going. His clients are the very reason he does what he does. “Doing my best to make someone happy for the rest of their lives every day has made me view myself differently”.
Horoscope Aries, no matter how hard you work, you just cannot seem to get ahead this week. Instead of tiring yourself unnecessarily, take a break and regroup. Taurus, although you have many questions, the answers will not come so easily to you in the next few days. Bide your time for a revelation. It will be really difficult to put you in a bad mood this week, Gemini. Your energy and cheer will be a bright light to those around you, so enjoy the next few days.
Cancer, you may want to be friends with everyone, but you may have to accept that you have a few people who just do not meld with your interests. Hang out with those who do. Exercise can do more than just keep you physically fit, Leo. It also can help boost your mood when you need a pick-me-up, which could be the case in the near future. Virgo, each time you think the grass will be greener somewhere else, you quickly learn it is not the case. Learn to appreciate what you have, and you will be glad for having done so. Libra, generosity will endear you to others, but you have to be generous for the right reasons. It’s not a good idea to build friendships on false pretenses. Scorpio, avoid taking on any more projects for the time being. Although you excel in tackling things, even the best of us need a rest from time to time.
Sagittarius, you will have to buckle down and get some things done at work, even if you are a little under the weather. Take things nice and easy once your work is done.
Without the head start at Community Futures, all of this would not be possible. Community Futures offers an amazing course and great support both while you’re in the program and once you have actually started your business. He’d encourage everyone to take advantage of the knowledge offered by their staff; if you’ve got a question they will answer it or help you find the answer. To find out more about the programs offered through Community Futures, visit www.cfdccariboo.com, or drop into 266 Oliver Street downtown Williams Lake.
Capricorn, devoting time to a spouse or children is of the utmost importance this week, while other matters will have to wait. Enjoy this opportunity to spend time with your loved ones. Aquarius, a hectic schedule is compromising your ability to stay focused on the tasks at hand. You may need some help sorting some things out. There are enough diversions around to take your mind off of your problems, Pisces. They may not disappear, but you can address some issues later.

Invasive Yellow Iris named Cariboo Regional District weed of the week Gardners should be aware that the Yellow Flag Iris, while a beautiful exotic aquatic water plant, is a serious invasive species, reports the Cariboo Regional District. This plant is native to Europe, the British Isles, North Africa and the Mediterranean region. And as of right now, it is still being sold in nurseries and can be bought on the Internet, around the world. Yellow Flag Iris grows about four feet tall with a robust stalk and the stems/leaves are
long, dark green, flattened and sword like. The leaves have a distinctive ridge in the midvein and they contain a sap that is toxic if ingested or can cause skin irritations. The flowers are a vibrant yellow with three petals that are backwards curving. What makes this plant multiply so quickly, is that it spreads vegetatively and by seed. If a piece of the roots breaks off, the piece is able to float down stream and re-sprout a new plant.
The seed pods of yellow flag can remain buoyant in the water for up to seven months. Yellow Flag Iris can grow in a variety of different habitats including dry, high acidy or anoxia soils, brackish waters and in fresh or salt water. It can be found in temperate wetland, along margins of lakes, ponds, ditches and slow moving rivers. This invasive species is a major problem for aquatic habitat because of its ability to colonize so quickly and the roots

form dense mats that are up to 30cm deep which choke-out much of the native vegetation. Since it can form dense stands, it can change the width of water courses by compacting soil trapping sediments and increasing elevation. It also affects the water flow of irrigation canals and flood control ditches. There are Yellow Flag Iris infestations in Williams Lake that are currently being treated and recently the CRD Invasive Plant crews have
inventoried new infestations along the shoreline of Lac La Hache. Treatment options for Yellow Flag Iris are: • Hand pulling by digging up the whole plant making sure you dig up the entire root and any fragments. • Cutting the plants right to ground level, this will have to be done several times but can be affective. All plant material must be bagged and disposed of in designated areas, such as invasive plant bins at your local landfill.
Do not compost invasive plants. To stop the spread of Yellow Flag Iris: 1.) Learn to identify this aquatic exotic. 2.) Do not purchase and plant Yellow Flag Iris. 3.) Wash boats and other water recreation vehicles before leaving a lake. 4.) Minimize soil dis-
turbance. 5.) Report any sightings to the CRD at 1-800-665-1636, online at cariboord.bc.ca or email invasivplants@ cariboord.bc.ca. Instead of planting Yellow Flag Iris in your garden try these alternatives: Japanese Iris (Iris nsata), Siberian Iris (Iris Sibirica) or Laevigata Iris (Iris laevigata).

Learning to lead Over the last few months I have been challenged to reflect on what a leader is. Are leaders simply bosses? I am from the old school who thinks the task of a leader is to be the boss. The boss issues directives and the employee follows. With this model of leadership, my personal views of what and how I do my job is not deemed important. Priority is given to achieving what the boss wants done; focusing on the when and how. In my experience this leads to dissatisfaction with the job. Shifting world views have also changed our idea of leadership and what an effective leader does. It is no longer just “I am the boss and you do as you are told”. Today we like to hear “There is a job that needs to be done, let’s work out together how best to do this”. In today’s society we want to lose the boss over the employees and engage in a team approach, getting the job done together. Working as a team we discover common goals and are united in moving ahead. If we had followed the example of Jesus we would not have labor issues, union disputes and
PARSONS PEN
BY Captain RandY unhealthy work environments. Being humans; we like to learn the hard way and forge ahead on our own. We discover too late those things which Jesus already pointed out. In the Gospel of Matthew a mother asked that her sons be put in positions of authority (to become the bosses). Jesus responds with Matthew 20: 22 “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” they answered. As followers we learn to be like
our leaders especially if we give them a place of honor. We honor the leader by doing as they do and practice those things they do almost like becoming a carbon copy. The rest of the disciples were plenty upset. Matthew 20:24-28 24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. 25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Jesus showed us that leadership is not all about telling people what to do; rather living life in a way that people would want to follow. Words did not motivate His disciples but His actions did. Leadership is building people up to do those things they are gifted in and thus perform to their best ability. Jesus did that for the disciples….can we do that for our people?

Honey house gets to be very sticky situation The building we have dubbed “the honey house” is the one where we store my bee equipment and where I one day intend to extract honey. We still need to put on the soffit and fascia and do some finish work on the inside before the building is reasonably bee-proof; and when you’re extracting honey a bee-proof building is important. In his book The Owl Pen Canadian author Kenneth McNeill Wells writes about what can happen when a lone bee stumbles across a pair of humans immersed in their first year of extracting honey. Back in the first part of the last century theirs was not a kitchen operation; they had almost 50 hives and a custom built honey house complete with a brand new copper steam generator and an electric extractor capable of spinning out 38 basswood frames of honey at a time. As Ken and his wife Lucille Oille slide the knife across the first frame to expose the hexagon cups of nectar they hear a faint buzzing of a lone bee from somewhere in the building, but pay it little mind.
Slice of Life
with Shannon McKinnon
The lone bee, on the other hand, is quite interested in the activity of the humans. Ken writes, “We saw no portent, read no omen, in the little bee that danced out of nowhere to alight, quivering with excitement, on the honey we had laid bare.” “Drink your fill little fellow,” we told him, and when he had drunk his fill, to the point of bursting, we carried him to the honey house door and shooed him away. “Go home,” we simpered, “go back to your hive, but don’t tell your pals where you’ve been.” Of course, bees by their very design have loose lips. Upon arriving back at the hive scout bees do a dance of details that relays what they’ve found, where they found it and how many bees are needed to carry the bounty home. What follows the release of the lone bee is a predictable
digression into a bath of bees. First three, then seven, then dozens are swarming about the honey house. “They must have come in on the supers,” Ken tells Lucy. “It’s nothing to worry about.” “No,” she agrees uncertainly. “Not much.” As the extractor spins out its heavy load and their vat fills with their first honey harvest they are beyond happy. They discuss how it is almost a shame, as beautiful and fragrant as the honey is, to even think of selling it. Ken further comments that “there is more sheer beauty in a spoonful of honey than in a whole anthology of poetry.” Lucy agrees, adding that each teaspoon not only represents the lifework of a bee but contains the whole story of their Medonte, Ontario summer. “Not to mention that to gather a pound of it, our bees have flown the equivalent of twice around the world at the equator,” Ken adds. “Not to mention,” finishes Lucy, in a wee small voice, “that one of your blistering, world-circling poets is crawling on my bare leg.”
otter at work
With close to a thousand pounds of spun honey in the vats and hundreds more still in the supers awaiting extraction, the couple retire for the night, exhausted but happy. It doesn’t last. The next morning they discover the bees have taken over the honey house. A roaring horde numbering in the thousands are busy sucking up the harvest and ferrying it back from whence it came. Bedlam ensues. The couple fire up their smokers and attempt to drive the bees out with thick clouds of smoke, but only succeed in driving them-
selves out instead. They collapse on the grass, coughing and gasping for air. Ken notes that judging by the smoke pouring out the cracks, their honey house is about as bee tight as a rail fence. The same honey house their contractor assured them was so bee tight that “not even a ghost of a bee would be able to find its way in.” They finally employ a diversion tactic by lugging the extracted comb to a hillside in the hopes the bees would find the grassy knoll more appealing than the smokefilled house. It works. Sort of.
From then on Ken and Lucy do their extracting at night when the bees are tucked away safe and sound, oblivious to the happenings in the honey house. A time Ken describes as “when no bee flies, and only harmless wolves and bats and wildcats roam about.” While my own honey house will never rival the size or scope of Ken and Lucy’s commercial operation, whose own

Analyzing back to school labour disputes Another school year dawns in B.C., with the prospect of disruptive labour disputes. First up are 27,000 support staff, in a legal strike position. These are the teacher aides, custodians, bus drivers and crossing guards. Most are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, with a few Teamsters and other locals scattered around the 60 school districts. Public discussion about these disputes usually focuses on wage increases, which CUPE members in schools haven’t seen for four years. Their current deals expired more than a year ago, after they were subject to the same two-year wage freeze imposed on the rest of government. The B.C. government moved from the post-recession wage freeze to a system they call “co-operative gains,” where raises must be financed by savings in other areas of the operation. Only two provincial employee groups have yet to do this: school support staff and teachers. (Education Minister Peter Fassbender confirmed last week that teacher raises will be funded by extra transfers from the provincial treasury as they

try to get a long-term deal. But that’s a topic for another day.) CUPE, the largest union in the country, has a sophisticated media campaign to generate public sympathy. We are repeatedly reminded not only that the last raise was 2009, but that the “average” pay is a mere $24,000 a year. If that number is accurate, it reflects a large number of parttimers. Let’s look at a few provisions CUPE doesn’t talk about, on behalf of those selfemployed taxpayers who have no paid holi-
days, no employer pension or benefits and no paid overtime, but are expected to help pay all of the above to government workers. The 60 contracts have many variations, but core elements are the same. In the Central Okanagan school district, the starting CUPE wage rate is $17.37 an hour. The top rate is $26.59, or $28.78 for workers who qualify for a “trades adjustment.” All contracts have rigid seniority and “bumping” clauses to ensure that new employees absorb any reductions in working hours. From a taxpayer’s perspective, this leads to the maximum number of employees making the highest wages. Overtime in Central Okanagan is time and a half for the first two hours, and double time

after that. Contracts also include the provision that unscheduled overtime is subject to a four-hour minimum. It’s amazing how often an unexpected hour of work can arise when it’s paid at quadruple time. The Surrey school district contract details how even “spare board” employees are to be enrolled in the municipal pension plan, a defined-benefit system most privatesector employees can only dream about. Then there are paid sick days. The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation reports that the average B.C. private sector worker took 7.4 sick days last year. The public sector average was 12. The Surrey contract details the windfall of unused sick days that must be paid out to employees who retire
as early as age 55. The maximum is 150 days, for a lavish perk only available to employees hired before July 1, 1996. Even so, we’ll be paying these bonuses out for years to come. It goes on and on. Six weeks’ paid vacation after 20 years, with an extra day added for every year after that. There are many little things, such as a $60 “swimsuit allowance” for teacher aides who take part in swimming instruction. This is not to devalue the work done by these people. It is to suggest that given the growing gap between public and private employment benefits, finding savings is reasonable.

ICBC seeks 4.9 per cent rate hike Tom Fletcher Black Press ICBC has applied for a 4.9 per cent rate increase to its basic vehicle insurance rates to take effect Nov. 1. For an average driver who now pays $1,369 a year for basic insurance, the increase would add an extra $36. In its rate
application to the B.C. Utilities Commission, ICBC is also seeking four per cent decrease in optional coverage that would reduce that annual bill by $25. The last rate increase was 11 per cent in 2012, coupled with a six per cent cut in optional insurance where ICBC competes with private insurers.
In an open letter to customers, Mark Blucher, interim CEO of ICBC, says the increase is needed to keep up with increasing bodily injury claims, with higher payouts as more people turn to lawyers to dispute their insurance payouts. Blucher said injury claim volume is also
rising, including crashes involving drivers distracted by smartphones, and more pedestrians and cyclists on roads. ICBC cut 260 positions last year after an audit of its operations showed its management ranks had swelled by 41 per cent between 2007 and 2011. Blucher said ICBC’s admin-

Harvest Fair rodeo lineup filled with entertainment Greg Sabatino Staff Writer There won’t be any shortage of rodeo action spanning the gamut from tyke to adult competitions at this weekend’s annual Williams Lake Harvest Fair. Starting on Friday, Sept. 6, the Harvest Ranch Rodeo Top Horse Competition rides its way into the Williams Lake Trail Riders Outdoor Arena. Organizer Jenny Huffman said 11 teams including Gang Ranch, Riske Creek Ranching, River Ranch, Wine Glass, Fraser River Ranch, Dane Ranch, Chimney Creek Hereford Ranch, Steve Roberts Ranching and Douglas Lake Ranch — the only out of region team — will be competing. “Friday [tonight] at 4 p.m. we start things off with the top horse competition called the Cowboy Challenge,” Huffman said. “We’ll have a circuit set up in the outside trail riders arena and they will have to ride through the circuit going

ers — one from each team of three cowboys — will then be judged based on how they perform.
“We judge this on how calm and nicely you can complete the course from a cowboy perspective,” she said. “It’s a 10-minute event for each person who competes and the points go toward their team’s final score.” At 10 a.m. Saturday, the second round of the Harvest Ranch Rodeo gets underway at the Trail Riders Outdoor Arena. “We have five events,” Huffman said. “Team sorting, team branding, pairing out, team doctoring and trailer loading.” Also at 10 a.m. Saturday and at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 8, the second annual Little Britches Rodeo Finals take centre stage, featuring the brightest future rodeo stars in the region. Tammy Tugnum, president of the Williams Lake Harvest Fair, said anyone who comes to watch the event is in for an entertaining show. “This is the first year we’re hosting the Little Britches Rodeo Finals in Williams Lake and they have record entries,” Tugnum said. “These are the entry level rodeo stars of the
future and they do pretty much everything [that an adult rodeo competitor would]. They’ll be great.” The Little Britches Rodeo Finals will run throughout both days and takes place at the Stampede Rodeo Arena. On Sunday, the action continues with the Jackpot Gymkhana beginning at 10 a.m. to wrap up the weekend’s rodeo festivities. Nikki Fuller, co-organizer of the Jackpot Gymkhana, said everyone is invited. “No one needs to pre-register,” she said, but noted if anyone would like to pre-register they can contact her at 250-2676524. “They can also register the morning of.” The Jackpot Gymkhana goes at the Trail Riders Outdoor Arena featuring barrel racing, pole bending, stakes, speed barrels and keyhole races. Fuller said they’re expecting close to 50 entries in the Jackpot Gymkhana ranging from adults to children. “Everyone’s invited and it should be great,” Fuller said.

Last day to submit entries to bike film festival The first annual Cariboo Mountain Bike Film Festival will enter into the judging phase today, as all submissions become due. “With only a few entires so far, it looks as though the first year will be on the modest side of things,” said Justin Calof, executive director for the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium. “This is the first time a mountain bike specific film festival has been introduced in the Cariboo. We heard the Banff Film Festival, which now attracts over 300 entries from across the globe every year, started with but a few scant films when it began over 40 years

ago. So, we expected to start small.” Calof said next year, if the CMBC decides to run the competition again, they’re thinking of expanding the festival to include all mountain bike art. “So, you still have a few days to get your submission in,” he said. “We’ll report back next week if we meet
the minimum number of entrants to hold the competition. We’re also working with Red Shred’s to co-ordinate a Sitka Film, a Live Concert and Film Festival Screenings on Oct. 4.” As a teaser, check out the workshop edit produced by Domink Scofield of 100 Mile House at www.ridethecariboo.ca.

Stampeders tryouts underway at CMRC Greg Sabatino Staff Writer With the near arrival of the 2013/14 Central Interior Hockey League season, the Williams Lake Stampeders are making early preparations. Local hockey fans may also want to jot down a few important dates as Williams Lake faces off against both of its closest rivals at home early on in the season. On Saturday, Oct. 5, the Stampeders host the Lac La Hache
Tomahawks in their home opener, starting at 7:30 p.m. at the CMRC. From there, the Stamps travel north to face the Terrace River Kings Oct. 12-13 for a two-game set before heading back home to host the Quesnel Kangaroos Oct. 18-19. Williams Lake then finishes up its first month of play with one more tilt against the Kangaroos Oct. 26 at the Twin Ice Arenas in Quesnel. The Stampeders play an 18-game regu-
lar season and compete in the CIHL’s East Division with the Tomahawks and the Kangaroos. Conditioning practices and player tryouts are also currently underway at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, and the 2013 Coy Cup senior men’s B.C. ‘AA’ champion Stamps are inviting anyone who thinks they can compete at a high calibre of contact hockey to join them on the ice. Practices began Tuesday, Sept. 3, and
will continue every Tuesday and Thursday starting at 9 p.m. throughout the month of September on rink one at the CMRC. The Stampeders
said all players are expected to come fully prepared with sticks, blades, pads, etc. Each player, returning and new, will be required to pay a non-
refundable $50 tryout fee prior to stepping on the ice. For more information about practices or the team contact general manager Kelly
Kohlen at 250-3988687 or head coach Cliff Philpot at 250398-2092. And for more on the Stampeders visit www. wlstampeders.com.

Accompanying the regular season bone stock, pro-mini and street stock classes, TMS president Tim Westwick has pulled together an event he hopes will definitely bring the fans to their feet. “[It’s] an important race date scheduled for Saturday,” Westwick said. “This race will feature our all classes points championship race, as well as our first ever Day of Destruction Crash to Pass and Fun Day. “This Crash to Pass will truly be unique as Thunder Mountain Speedway will host its first ever trailer race during this main event.” Westwick said interested participants can use a boat trailer, a travel trailer or any other type or trailer. In the season points standings it’s Brian Bettles, Arnie Kunka and Allen Roberts leading their respective divisions. Bettles, in the bone stock class, currently

Right behind them are the team of Robert Petryshen and George Giesbrecht with 81 points. In the street stock class it’s the father, son duo of Donny Kunka and Arnie leading the field. Arnie has 87 points with Donny sitting at 78. In third is Westwick with 72. And in the pro-mini division — the closest of the three — class leader Allen Roberts, with 88 points, sits just one point ahead of second-place Tim Roberts meaning Saturday’s racing will determine the winner. Third place in the pro-mini class, currently, is Marius
Dunford. Westwick said he’d like to thank all of the volunteers who helped make his first year as TMS president a great one. “I’d like to thank all our volunteers, track sponsors, club members and executive for making this first year of my presidency so enjoyable and fun,” he said. “To our fans, old and new alike, thanks so much for supporting auto racing in Williams Lake and I look forward to helping foster future interest in racing throughout the Cariboo for years to come.” All the action gets underway at noon with qualifying laps and time trials. Racing begins at 1 p.m.

Lakecity hockey players to suit up for Cariboo Cougars Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Three lakecity hockey players will suit up for the Cariboo Cougars this weekend in West Kelowna as members of the club’s pre-season squad.
Chase DuBois, Colton Thomas and goaltender Jaxon Nohr were all invited back to the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League team’s preseason, an extension of a training camp that saw 45 players attempt to crack the
team’s top 28 players. Thomas, Nohr and DuBois have all honed their skills in Williams Lake as players in the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association. Both Thomas and DuBois played last year as members of
Still time to sign up for Tour de Cariboo If you’re on the fence about taking part in this year’s Tour de Cariboo, there’s still time to decide. Lorraine Levitt, executive directors of Williams Lake Big Brothers Big Sisters and Tour de Cariboo organizer, said registration is still open for the ride, which starts at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex and leads riders on a 76-kilometre scenic tour from Williams Lake to Gavin Lake. Registration is at 8 a.m. at the CMRC followed by an RCMP escort down Highway 97 beginning at 9 a.m. “Our volunteers will all be in place at the rest stops to greet you and offer energy efficient snacks,” Levitt said. “At Gavin Lake riders can freshen up with a warm shower, enjoy the entertainment and a massage with Inner Balance Wellness Studio.” The courier van will return riders back to Williams Lake following the banquet and awards beginning at 4 p.m. “It’s free for those who wish to stay overnight in one of the cozy cabins [at Gavin Lake],” she said. “Riders and their guests can sit back, relax and enjoy the band in the evening. “Come ride, race or relay the Tour de Cariboo.”
the Williams Lake Bantam Rep Timberwolves, while Nohr competed as the netminder for the Williams Lake Midget Rep Timberwolves — all helping their teams reach the B.C. Tier 2 Provincial Championships.
The Cougars meet South Delta on Friday at 3:30 p.m., then the Burnaby Winter Club Saturday at 10 a.m. At 2:45 p.m. the Cougars take on the Okanagan Hockey Academy, before wrapping up the
weekend with a game at 7:15 a.m. Sunday against the Pursuit of Excellence. The Cougars play a 40-game regular season beginning Sept. 13 and ending March 2, 2014. Last year, Williams Lake’s Tyler Povelof-
skie played with the Cougars scoring 18 goals and 14 assists in 36 games. Following last year’s BCMMHL season he was picked up by the junior ‘A’ Vernon Vipers of the British Columbia Hockey League.

Lakecity army cadet awarded best in platoon in Vernon Cadet Vincent Roger Beaudoin of Williams Lake was recognized as the top cadet in the 25 Platoon during the second intake of the Basic Army Cadet Expedition Course at Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre during the final parade, said Wayne Emde, public relations officer. Cadet Beaudoin is a member of 3064 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, Williams Lake, and was among 65 other army cadets who participated in the three-week Army Cadet Basic Expedition Course. The program sees the cadets learning first aid, mountain bike skills, canoeing, abseiling, and navigation. This training culminates in a five-day expedition using their navigation and leadership skills to hike, bike, and canoe more than 75 kilometres through
the BC Interior. During the summer more than 1,150 army, sea, and air cadets from Western Canada spend up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley training centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships. The Cadet Program is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Canadian Armed Forces. Cadets make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citizenship and community activities. Cadets also learn valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizenship.

COMMUNITY
Fish cleaning competition part of gathering Sage Birchwater Special to The Weekend Advisor Despite an intensive previous five weeks where members of the Xeni Gwet’in community were dutifully involved with the New Prosperity environmental review hearings, July 22 to Aug. 23, members of the community kicked back over the Labour Day long weekend for their 21st Annual Britanny Gathering at Henry’s Crossing. This was the first year the Britanny Gathering has been held at the end of summer. Previous years it was always held in May. What made the end of August so appropriate was the plentiful run of Chilko sockeye salmon coursing up the Chilko River next to the gathering site at that time of year. One of several contests held at the gathering was the fish-gutting competition. This was the first year that perennial winner Minnie Charleyboy didn’t claim the top prize. That went to the younger and sprier Evans Stump. Newcomer to the event was youth, Skem’cis Phillips, who stuck it out to clean both his fish even though the other competitors were done. He got some helpful advice from judge James Lulua and fellow competitors, Donald Haller, Evans Stump and Minnie Charleyboy. So next year look out. Other events included lahal games, horseshoe pitching, archery, “Indian” bingo, and a talent night with performances by a range of contestants from 90-year-old Mabel Solomon to her five-year-old grandson Kaylem Solomon. Young Kalem placed third, but other results were not immediately available at press time. Other performers included David Lulua, Ronnie Solomon, Bernie Solomon, Cherylin Laurent, Tamara William, Sierra William, Shenna Setah, Lottie Johnny, JoEllyn Quilt, Chiotin Alphonse, Conway Lulua, Chief Roger William, Joyce Cooper, Ivor Myers and Nicole Martin. Gene Cooper placed first in the archery competition, followed by his brother, Chief Roger William. Even the RCMP got involved, but couldn’t beat Gene or Chief Roger.

TRU welcomes students with a barbecue Thompson Rivers University students were treated to a barbecue, live band entertainment and information displays on their first day back in school Tuesday. “The event was held in appreciation for TRU students,” says Jacquie Johnston, TRU’s marketing and recruitment coordinator. The event began with orientation and campus tours, she said. Students were able to tour the campus and register for their student identification, enjoy the barbecue on the outdoor patio out back while listening to the local rock band Beautifully Haunting performing original and cover songs.
“Students mingled with faculty and each other while enjoying the food and local organization booths,” Johnston said. “We did things slightly differently this year.” She said organizations from the community that provide discounts and savings to students were invited to set up a booth and talk to students about what they offer. “I couldn’t believe the support from the community,” Johnston said. “Thompson Rivers University is excited to kick off another school year with a great number of students.

The Blanketing accepted into major film festivals Trevor Mack’s short film The Blanketing has been accepted into numerous film festivals across Canada and the U.S. So far, Mack says the film has been accepted into the imagineNATIVE, the biggest indigenous film festival in the world; Toronto Independent Film Festival; Square Pegs VI festival; and the LA Skins FilmFestival, the second largest First Nations film festival in the U.S. “I’ll also be submitting to several other film festivals across North America and will be notified in December-ish,” Mack says. A fictional metaphorical combination of the 1864 Chilcotin War and several small-pox outbreaks, The Blanketing is Mack’s first major exploration into the world of film. With immense help from the Cariboo-Chilcotin community, as well as help from around the world, he says The Blanketing takes on controversial subject matter regarding the relationship between First Nations
people and the early settlers of Canada. “The reason why I wanted to make the film was my own interpretation of colonization and how I viewed it,” Mack says. “Everybody else will have their own opinions and interpretations of the blankets and that’s totally fine. If I get people talking about the situation at hand then that means I succeeded in what I wanted to do.” Actors needed for training exercises The Williams Lake

Be safe and sound – Clean Your outdoor furnace from an article by Kenneth W. michael Wills
An outdoor wood furnace requires cleaning at least once a month during the winter months and usually every couple of months in the spring, summer and fall. Regular cleaning will increase safety, improve combustion and decrease maintenance costs. Follow these simple instructions: • Take out all the large, partly burned pieces of wood from the furnace with your shovel. Set aside those that can still be burned for later use.

Resident coaching people back to wellness Continued From Page A27 “I find out where they are, where they want to go and what they’re willing to do to get there.” He said that the information he offers his clients is up-to-date and science-based. “Lifestyle choices is where most people are lacking. Certain items in our homes may be contributing to a problem; I always want to find the cause,” he added. “You can’t do anything about genetics, but you can change your lifestyle and that is my focus. I don’t focus on the medical — I want to coach people back to health.” He explained that because his programs are based on science, he has seen many people who have turned their lives around. “This is about more than nutri-
tion. For example, you can have high blood pressure and your doctor puts you on medication, but what’s causing it isn’t food, or genetics. It’s stress,” he said. “Stress can deposit blood fat into the bloodstream, and now it’s mental as well as physical. What you need to do now is analyze the situation and go to work intelligently. “An analogy I like to use is that your house is flooded because someone left the tap on. You come home and your house is full of water. You can run around with towels and mops all you want, but until you turn off the water you haven’t solved anything at all.” He said that it’s so important to look at both the mental and the physical. “You need to look at multiple areas and not skip any. Mental dis-
ease, such as depression, is on the rise and research shows that 90 per cent of our population suffers from some kind of mental illness or another,” he continued. “When it’s physical you can see stuff; when it’s mental you don’t. You can hide it and hold it in and it eats us up alive.” He said that what he does compliments what physicians do, adding that he takes it to the ‘next level.’ “Follow up is critical,” he stated. “It’s so beneficial when you have a coach who can guide you step by step.” There is no health without the spiritual component, according to Watson, who said that if your spirit isn’t content it leads to mental and physical unrest. “The soul craves to be well, and if it doesn’t get that ‘nutrient’, our immune system even-
tually breaks down. Once that defense is broken down, all foreign elements come in,” he said. “Wellness starts with a clear mind and clear thoughts: I believe that thought becomes habit, habit becomes action and action becomes lifestyle.” He added that people don’t realize that their frontal lobe is key to making good decisions. “If that part is not being fed, we’re going to have stress. We know this for a fact. When our mood is down we don’t want to get up in
the morning,” he explained. “I had a consultation once with a client who was diabetic. He carried some extra weight, which I call ‘extra blessings’. I put him on a program and in threeand-a-half weeks he started feeling dizzy. He went to his doctor and found that the program was working so well, and his sugar was so balanced, that his doctor had to take him off his diabetic medication. “That’s how it’s supposed to work,” he said. “I will never ‘take’

Metis speaker inspires teachers and parents LeRae Haynes Special to The Weekend Advisor The Williams Lake community was invited to a unique, free presentation by renowned children’s book author and speaker David Bouchard, who is sought as a speaker world-wide for his passion for literacy. His presentation was the result of a partnership between the Cariboo Chilcotin Metis Association and a team of teachers from School District 27.The free presentation was held Monday, Aug. 26 in the Lakecity secondary Carson Campus commons. The teachers, Tammi Varney, Lori Kelly, Tanis Stewart, Tracy Walton and Frances Bisaro began planning summer institutes in Williams Lake for teachers to attend and receive
professional development training. Last year they held a very successful conference attended by over 100 educators. Bouchard, a former teacher and school principal has written more than 50 books in English and in French. Many of them combine poetry, prose and visual arts, and explore topics such as the environment, history and the traditions and cultures of Canada’s Aboriginal communities. In April 2009, Bouchard was named a Member of the Order of Canada “for his contributions as an author of children’s books and an advocate who has championed the cause of reading and writing, and who has shared his pride as a member of the Métis community through his stories.” With funding from Success by 6 in Wil-

Denza Phung 8, Cashis Phung 6, Phennix Billy, 8 enjoyed a presentation recently by David Bouchard, at the Williams Lake Library. The renowned Metis author, speaker and passionate literacy proponent, Bouchard entertained the audience by playing what he called love songs and healing songs on a range of wooden flutes. Humorous and heartfelt, he engaged the crowd of kids, teens, young adults, families and seniors with how to create a reader spend time reading with them, be a reading role model and have books in the house. “Rule the electronics, read with your kids and buy them books,” he said. “Books need to include us and be accessible to us so we want to read - when you inspire a child to read you are a hero.” liams Lake, the team of teachers and the Metis Association have purchased copies of Bouchard’s books
to give to parents and families at the event. “It is our goal to have more families come out of this evening commit-
ted and better prepared to read at home daily to and with their child,” they said. “Ideally, this information will also
transfer to families with preschool children so that this begins well before children come to school.”
Francis Bisaro said that the books are beautiful and have universal appeal. “He writes with lovely, almost rhythmic language and has linked with some great illustrators,” Bisaro explained. “He epitomizes multiculturalism,” Tanis Stewart added. “He’s from a varied background like some of us are, and like some of the children we teach are — that’s what I like about him.” Bouchard told the Tribune you can’t start too early with books and babies. “We started reading Harry Potter to our daughter, Victoria when she was two years old — reading to your kids develops your skill and confidence as parents,” he added.

Great Room participants enjoy Gibsons retreat Dina Kennedy Special to the Weekend Advisor This summer the Great Room participants from Williams Lake enjoyed a threeday retreat at Linwood House in Gibsons. The weekend workshop opened the door to positive life changes for the eight lakecity participants who travelled to the event in a van loaned to them by Youth for Christ. We left early in the morning. The skies were blue, the sun was shining. We saw a black bear and eagles, moose and ducklings along the way. Anxiety and anticipation were high as we arrived at the centre, not knowing what to expect, although we had seen pictures beforehand. Our theme song for the retreat was Freedom Reigns in this Place, and our workshop leader challenged
us to start anew by closing doors that need to be closed, and opening the doors of our eyes, hearts and minds that needed to be opened. She challenged us to love ourselves first, then we can love those beside us and go forth and love those even further out. Her scripture reading and focus for the retreat was on Rev. 3:20: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” We were asked to write a short story about our lives and what it meant for each one of us to be there. Our stories will be published in a book along with those of other women who have been on similar journeys this summer. We enjoyed each day with fresh fruit in the morning and marvel-

yard joined us along with different kinds of singing birds. We watched a film called Freedom Writ-
ers, went to the beach and met some Linwood partners at their home. One leader shared a story about shells and
passed around a tray of shells for us to choose from and then share with other workshop participants why we
had picked a particular shell. See SHELLS Page A31

Kids’ reading a shared responsibility Continued From Page A29 “Given one single choice, I’d have everyone in Williams Lake in the same room to learn what you can expect from teachers and from parents. They both have a responsibility and you can call them on it,” he said. “We need them both.” He said that every single parent, teacher and
administrator should know what it takes to be a reader, stating that reading is as natural as talking and breathing. A teacher and administrator for 30 years, Bouchard said he believes that kids reading is the key to success in and out of school. “We should teach kids based on things like their physical abilities and their artistic accomplishments, but we
teach reading and they have to adapt, or fail,” he explained. “We teach kids who can read. From coast to coast education is focused on reading. I wish that were different, but it isn’t. “Barack Obama is black, and if you’d said 20 years ago that the U.S. would have a black president I’d have said you were crazy. The Berlin wall is gone, and 50 years ago, who
would have believed it would happen? Never say never,” he continued. “It may just be possible that our education system will become sensitive enough so that every child can succeed.” He explained that when children who already have vulnerabilities start school, not reading or being ‘reading-ready’ only compounds their prob-
lems and makes them feel ‘less than.’ “Maya Angelou said that ‘People who know better, do better,’ and I apply that to teachers, parents and administrators - we all love our kids. And our children aren’t lazy – they want the best for themselves,”
The next day a student volunteering at the centre shared her story with us about the risks she had taken in her life. She talked about the Bible story of the Good Shepherd and asked the participants to think about what kind of sheep they are: who has guided them, helped them and prayed for them in their lives. Another workshop leader guided us in writing about some of the (emotional) luggage we wanted to leave behind
he said. “We all want that. ‘Give me the goods and I’ll do better.’ That’s one thing I want people to take away from this presentation in Williams Lake. We want to send you home with a little fire and a lot of knowledge.”

at Linwood, and what we wanted to take with us to open new doors in the future. Just before lunch we all decided to dress up for lunch in different styles of clothing from the attic and then ate lunch. What a site we were. We packed up our belongings and said our goodbyes. As we left our workshop leader prayed for us. My prayer for each of the women is that there be an exchange in the
heavens that bring each woman closer to a life restored of value, dignity and purpose. Dina Kennedy is The Great Room coordinator in Williams Lake. The Great Room operates under the umbrella of Linwood House Ministries and is a sacred space where once a week, women can come to find safety, rest, friendship and a welcoming place to share their stories and take steps toward positive change in their lives.

With its gables, partly mullioned windows and pilasterframed entry porch, this three-bedroom family home combines old-fashioned charm with up-to-the-minute amenities. The ground-floor entry leads into a compact foyer with a den on the left. Ideally located for a home office, the den‘s windows look out on a homey veranda, enclosed by a spindle half-rail and classic pilasters with stone bases. A coat cupboard is located near the stairway leading up to the main floor. At the top of the stairs is the open-plan great room, dining area and kitchen. To one side of the great room’s fireplace, sure to make this space popular during the cooler months, is an optional built-in entertainment centre. Large windows overlook the front garden. Flowing seamlessly from the great room is the dining area, with an optional built-out buffet that would come in handy for special-occasional meals. Access to a covered outdoor area, ideal for year-round barbecuing, as well as a large sundeck beyond, will make serving al fresco meals easy. The kitchen features a deep-silled window above the sink that overlooks the back garden. The U-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook, and a pantry will add always-welcome storage space.
