Family nurse practitioner Sandi Lachapelle, TRU North nursing program co-ordinator Rhonda McCreight and fourth year nursing student Michelle Young are thrilled about the upcoming opening of the TRU Health Centre at the Williams Lake campus. The new primary health clinic, which is a partnership between the university and Interior Health, will provide students and the public another point of access to the health care system as well as open learning opportunities for nursing students like Young.

TRU North to open public health clinic

Angie Mindus Staff Writer It’s official.

Thompson Rivers University (TRU) North and Interior Health are opening the first health center of its kind in B.C., right here in Williams Lake,

where students and the general public can access a full-time family nurse practitioner for many of their health care needs.

For the women who helped make the clinic possible, it’s a dream come true. For the community, it will mean greater access to the health care system

and possibly less time waiting for help at the ER. “We are very excited about this,” says Rhonda McCreight, nursing program coordinator at TRU. “There is no other university setting with this type of clinic in the province, maybe even the

Gibraltar Mine hires additional 150 workers Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines, joined over 600 guests at Gibraltar Mine to celebrate the successful completion of its new mill and the hiring of 150 additional workers Thursday.

The addition of the new employees makes Gibraltar one of the largest employers in the Cariboo. The mine, operated by Taseko Mines Limited, just completed

the recent $325-million development that included the new facility and addition to their mining fleet. The new mill is a 30,000-ton-perday, standalone facility that enhances operating flexibility and reliability.

The new development, which is part of the BC Job Plan goal to open eight new mines and expand nine others in B.C. by 2015, will ex-

tend the life of the mine until 2039.

Mineral exploration and mining are important economic drivers for B.C. The production value of B.C.’s mining industry was approximately $8.3 billion in 2012. Since the BC Jobs Plan was released, two new mines are in operation, and six more are under construction or permitted.

The Province also

has approved six major expansions of existing mines.

Health center to offer sexual health clinic Continued From Page A1 The TRU Health Center, which is expected to open to by mid-October, will see the university offer the clinic space, equipment and a medical office assistant while Interior Health will be footing the bill for the clinic’s full-time family nurse practitioner, Sandi Lachapelle.

Lachapelle, who was raised in Williams Lake and is now raising a family here herself, says she’s thrilled with the new position and is looking forward to offering more services for the community, including wellness clinics for women (to encourage paps and breast exams), medically supervised weight loss programs and a drop-in sexual health

clinic, something she says has been lacking in Williams Lake.

“Williams Lake is one of the only communities in B.C. to be without a sexual health clinic,” Lachapelle says, noting Williams Lake has high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which can cause permanent damage if left untreated, as well as teen pregnancies.

September 21 is World Alzheimer’s Day to raise awareness and challenge the stigma of Alzheimer’s. There is currently no way of definitely preventing dementia.

cluding seeing patients who don’t have access to a family physician, which will hopefully reduce pressures felt at the ER. She says Dr. Mark Gracia and Dr. Stefan deSwardt have stepped forward to support the clinic, and help Lachapelle when she has questions.

“They are my go-to people, my medical mentors. They are very

supportive of me and my work, maybe they see the possibilities too.”

Clinic hours will be Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Donations for the new clinic are being grateful accepted by TRU North.

Man hurt in rollover A 66-year-old driver from Lac La Hache is on life-support at Cariboo Memorial Hospital after being involved in a serious single motor vehicle incident near Williams

Lake Wednesday morning.

The incident took place on Highway 97 at the bottom of the hill near the entrance to the Sugar Cane Reserve, Sgt. Bob

Verbree, Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services.

“He was travelling north on Highway 97 and went off the road to the right,” Verbree said. “He was the lone occupant

and was removed from the vehicle and transported by ambulance to the hospital.”

Family of the man were on their way from the coast, Verbree said.

Bears are back in Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer While they may be arriving a few weeks later than last year, the bears are back in Williams Lake and conservation officers put down their first bear of the season last Saturday.

“We did take one out up near Commodore Heights area on Saturday, Sept. 14,” confirmed Justyn Bell of the Conservation Officer Service in Williams Lake. “It had lost its fear of humans and was very comfortable in people’s yards in mid-day.”

When Bell showed up at Commodore Heights Saturday, he determined the bear had no intention of leaving, he said.

On Tuesday, Sept.

17, around 2 p.m., staff at Nesika elementary school noticed a bear outside the school fence and called the COS. “At the very end of the day we had one outside the fence at the end of our property here,” said Nesika vice-principal Yvonne Davis. “It was never near the school.”

Staff let everyone know, and the RCMP came and by the end of school the bear was

gone, Davis said.

She did not see the bear because she was teaching at the time, however, said there was one seen near Cataline elementary school and one treed on 11th Avenue.

Bell said his office received calls about a bear seen near Clarke Avenue and confirmed it was a different bear than the one seen at Nesika.

“I currently have a trap out for that one seen near Clarke Avenue,” he said, adding that bear has a history of being in the neighbourhood the last several nights.

It is getting “quite

comfortable” amongst the people and the residences, Bell said.

Bell wasn’t able to attend to the bear at Nesika and contacted the Williams Lake RCMP to attend.

“Later when I drove around the neighbourhoods of 12th and 11th Avenues yesterday there were tons of fruit trees all over the place,” Bell said. “People need to pick the fruit off the trees and the ground.”

The public is reminded to pick fruit off trees and properly care for garage, all of which attracts bears.

SUICIDE: Prevention

Concert and gathering planned at high school Angie Mindus Tribune Staff Writer Members of the Suicide and Sudden Death (SSD) Committee are trying to bring the sensitive topic of suicide out in the open next week with the upcoming event, Staying Alive: Battle for Life concert and gathering.

“We want to get this information out so people will talk about it.”

The event will start as a solemn occasion at Boitanio Park at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept.

25 with a moment of silence near Ringwood Theatre at a memorial tree, which was planted by the city to recognize World Suicide Prevention Day. From there, participants will walk to Lake City Secondary School where the mood will shift to a more upbeat concert and gathering in LCSS common area with food and

refreshments as well as popular musical entertainers and skits to help get the message across that everyone can make a difference in the lives of those considering suicide.

“In hindsight, you can often see the signs (leading to suicide) ... there’s a lot we can do,” says Schoen.

She says for those who suspect a member of their family, peer group or workplace is suicidal, it is critical to follow the ABCs: Act now, Be supportive, Call for help.

Williams Lake loses five people on average every year to suicide.

Nationally, 4,000 people die every year due to suicide.

Performers who will be on hand after school Wednesday to help get the message across include Blue, Jesaja Class and the youth band Beautifully Haunting.

“The kids will love them, they’re very loud,” Schoen says of the band.

As well as students, parents are also encouraged to attend the event to learn more about the warning signs of suicide.

“The more we are aware of it the more we can do.”

Webster takes the wheel as new fire chief Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer If he becomes half the fire chief Randy Isfeld was, Williams Lake’s new fire chief Des Webster said he’ll be OK. “For the last few months he’s been mentoring me in how to take the transition as fire chief. He’s been a great guy to work for, I can’t say enough,” Webster said of longtime former Fire Chief Randy Isfeld, who retired earlier this year. “He will be sorely missed not just by me, but everybody. He was a firefighter’s chief.”

Isfeld is the reason Webster got into firefighting.

“When I first started as a volunteer it didn’t take me too long to realize this is what I wanted for a career,” he said.

At the time he was working for public works and also as a paid-on-call firefighter.

He visited Isfeld and asked what he thought the future of the fire department would be.

Webster learned the position of fire inspector would be opening up because Isfeld was doing it as well as being the fire training officer and it had become too much work.

“I went out and qualified myself over the next two years and sure enough when the job came up I was able to apply.”

Isfeld mentored Webster from that day on — first as fire inspector, then as deputy chief.

As he eases into the chief’s role, Webster said there will always be challenges around budgets. That won’t change.

“The department will look for ways to generate revenue through fee service,” he said.” A lot of the stuff we do is not considered to be the regular service we provide to the city. Many departments charge for the things that we’ve been doing for free.”

One of those would be recuperating costs for responding to a Hazmat call by whoever the transporter was.

Responding to Hazmat spills is not considered a normal part of the service the department provides, it’s an added service, Webster said.

For five years the Williams Lake fire department has had a functional Hazmat team.

“It’s important because there is a lot of industry in the city and a lot of rail and road transport com-

Eating Habit Busting

Bust Your Bad Eating Habits

Fire Chief Des Webster ing through with many types of hazardous material,” Webster said.

“Some of it is bad stuff and we decided years ago we needed to put ourselves in a position to deal with it. If we didn’t the closest team was going to have to come from either Prince George or Kamloops to help mitigate a spill.”

Everyone in the department is trained to one or two levels of Hazmat training which ensures if the fire department is called to a scene a full crew can respond.

Williams Lake has also made a request to the province to be a re-

gional Hazmat team so it can be deployed outside the area if need be.

“Again that would be on a fee-for-service basis.”

Had the agreement been in place in January 2013 when the transport truck overturned on Highway 97 at Wildwood spilling hazardous material used in mine blasting applications, Williams Lake could have been called out by the province to assist.

With Webster moving into the chief’s spot, Rob Warnock, already the training officer, is deputy chief and Joan Flaspohler is fire inspector.

Normally the depart-

ment has three fulltime firefighters and 40 paid-on-call firefighters.

Right now there are 37 so at the beginning of 2014 they will hire four more paid-on-call.

Webster said they’ve been lucky over the last few years and managed to get several good new recruits to pick from and all have turned out to be good firefighters.

There has been a trend of fewer people expressing interest because the time commitment is “huge.”

“People don’t realize that when they come to a meeting. People think we’re a paid-on call department and that it’s come to a call and come to a practice, but it’s more.”

In 2013, he anticipates the department will respond to 400 calls, plus practice nights, meetings and training.

Last year they had just under 300 calls.

“We’re at 250 this year already. That’s everything. False alarms, MVIs, grass fires, that’s every call.”

When it comes to rating arson in Williams Lake, Webster chose “minor.” There’s the odd fire that’s suspicious, but it’s not very common, he said.

Tragic fires can have an impact so firefighters can have access to grief counsellors if they need.

“They will come in and do debriefs for the guys. We’ve done that a few times through my career, but for the most part we talk among ourselves and keep checking on everyone within the department.” And there are signs to look for to ensure someone isn’t experiencing critical stress days or weeks after the incident.

Assessing health concerns is always part of the routine as well.

“We don’t go anywhere near a building without breathing apparatus,” Webster explained.

B.C. Ambulance will attend every fire — to attend to any occupants and to attend to the firefighters.

After two air bottles, a firefighter has to be checked by an ambulance attendant. “They check your vitals. If it’s really hot out, then after one air bottle, you get checked out.”

“The persona of the macho ‘I don’t need to go see the ambulance I’m good’ days are gone, you go whether you’re told to go or it’s your turn.”

Health care collaboration This week’s announcement of the new public health clinic at Thompson Rivers University North is great news for Williams Lake and area.

Now, instead of sometimes having to wait hours at the hospital’s emergency room or several days for an appointment with a family physician for a minor illness such as a sore throat or flu, patients will have the option to visit the TRU North clinic.

And that’s what we all really want isn’t it — options.

Of course the clinic won’t take away from the important roles of our family physicians and ER docs. Not at all.

In a perfect world everyone will work together to make our local health care services the best they can be with this new choice in our community.

Credit must be given to the masterminds of this plan, in large part Sandi Lachapelle and Rhonda McCreight as well as many other dedicated staff at

TRU and Interior Health.

Also, Dr. Mark Gracia and Dr. Stefan deSwardt should receive recognition for stepping up to the plate to support Lachapelle and this exciting new worthwhile project.

Nurse practitioners haven’t always been well received in some medical circles, so it’s great to see that is not the case here in Williams Lake.

Many residents are sure to benefit from the services that will be offered at the clinic, such as dropin appointments for minor acute injuries or illnesses and also a much-needed sexual health clinic.

For those of you who don’t know, nurse practitioners are registered nurses with advanced education in assessment, diagnosis, and management of many acute and chronic illnesses and injuries.

Family nurse practitioners can act independently as primary health care providers, similar to family doctors.

THEATRICS PART OF PARTY

Marriage: for broader and for narrower ‘He’ was a man on a mission.

He was trying to fix something in the garage, but he needed some parts from the house. So indoors he went, accidentally bumping his wife on the way.

“Oops, sorry!” he said, and continued on his quest.

Returning to the garage through the kitchen, he bumped into his wife again. Another “Oops, sorry!” Later, the man round-tripped through supper’s aroma again, and you guessed it ... ! Did I tell you that in all this time she hadn’t moved?

‘She’ sat next to him in a conference — a meeting the two of them had painstakingly organized over the past three months. All was well. The buffet was arranged, the speaker was

excellent, and sufficient numbers were attending to cover expenses.

During the seminar, she turned to her husband and said, “You know, honey, next time we should create a logo, get some corporate sponsorship, and we

could also ...” The hackles went up on his neck, the gentleman gritted his teeth, and he solemnly vowed, “Never again!”

Of course, every marriage is “for better or for worse.” And though we each spend moments in the extremes, the relationship isn’t simple, is it? While men try to understand the foreign language of “woman-speak”, and women grapple with “manspeak” or “no speak”, we often discover an epidemic of conflicts.

Neither ‘he’ nor ‘she’ are rude and inconsiderate. Both were simply attempting to make life better in their own way. So at the risk of over-simplifying, and without telling you of a clash or two in my own front yard,

perhaps I can venture a stereotypical thought on this numbing matter.

It’s hardly news that men are often single-focused. Exasperating! Unless of course I want ‘him’ to be productive and provide for my family, or be successful at a job. It’s also no revelation that some women can tackle a million things at once, and be quite happy never finishing any of them.

The genders are often opposites — either ranging widely, or focusing exclusively. With the number of combustion points that exist, perhaps we could avoid a few ‘worses’ by moving slightly away from the extremes; we become more balanced by absorbing a little of each other’s

traits. Those who endlessly add details might ‘narrow’ things down now and then. And if the other half widened their vision just a little, couples just might rediscover happiness in the middle of the road.

The more differences the better, I say! That way we have more options, more viewpoints, more “warm” discussions to tune-up our thinking, and more opportunities to learn. What if, after all, as Gary Thomas says, one of the purposes of marriage was to make us better, not just make us happy?

I could go on, but I have a million things to do, and my husband just came through the kitchen ... one more time!

Bills come due at BC Hydro VICTORIA – When Christy Clark became premier in 2011, one of her first priorities was to delay steep increases in BC Hydro rates.

BC Hydro was heading to the B.C. Utilities Commission to apply for rate increases totalling 32 per cent over three years. This, obviously, was a problem for an unelected premier whose single message was that she was good for families, and who faced an election in two years.

The government’s Mr. Fix-It, Rich Coleman, first tried to delay a couple of expensive seismic upgrades, adding to the long history of political fiddles that pushed off expensive problems. BC Hydro’s engineers soon convinced him that if the creaky old Ruskin and Campbell River dams were to bust in a quake, it wouldn’t be good for families downstream.

Coleman scraped up some internal savings in the vast utility and met Clark’s pre-determined target of keeping rate increases below four per cent in the pre-election period. Mission accomplished, as George W. Bush might have said.

Then last week, an August working paper on the need for BC Hydro rate hikes was leaked. It showed BC Hydro making a case for new increases totaling 26 per cent over two years. The leak came via the Canadian Office and Professional Employees local 378, the BC Hydro inside staff union that has a history of mostly juvenile attacks on the B.C. Liberal govern-

ment.

Bill Bennett, the current energy minister, spent the next couple of days repeating to anyone who would listen that this initial proposal had already been rejected, and that work was well along to make the rate increase more palatable. Perhaps it’s back to where it was in 2011.

COPE 378 and the NDP played their rehearsed roles. Both tried to blame the situation on private power contracts. The union and its political front are less concerned about rising power bills than they are about holding onto the state monopoly on electricity generation.

Energy industry lawyer David Austin calculates that of the proposed 26.4-per-cent increase, about 3.5 per cent can be attributed to BC Hydro buying power from private sources, at prices competitive with new public power sources such as the Site C dam. Most of it comes from the overdue repairs

to those old dams, other costly projects including the addition of turbines to two Columbia River dams, and deferred debt from previous political meddling.

In August I reported that as many as 20 of BC Hydro’s existing private power purchase contracts will be cancelled or deferred. This was also seized upon to portray private power as the root of all evil, both financially and environmentally.

In fact the attrition rate on these projects has always been about

one out of three. This is what happens when the risks of expanding the provincial electrical grid are shared with private investors.

These run-of-river and wind projects were promoted to maximize clean energy sources, as well as to spread the grid to remote areas. This was Gordon Campbell’s climate change strategy.

Then came the gas boom. Clark seized upon liquefied natural gas exports as the key to future prosperity, and the government soon declared burning gas “clean” as

long as it facilitates LNG production.

Bennett now acknowledges that gas-fired power plants are an option for the future. They are cheaper than hydro, small or large.

Bennett’s two tasks are to supply industry with cheap power and get consumer rates under control. It looks as if the gas is being turned up, and Site C is moving to the back burner.

Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews.com.

Making the case for harsher penalties against prolific offenders The City of Williams Lake presented a resolution to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention asking that judges consider a prolific offender’s previous convictions during prosecution of a case. The city has presented this resolution for a number of years and it has not been supported by enough members.

A Vancouver daily newspaper columnist suggested this was a goofy submission.

I think Williams Lake has a good resolution, and I suggest that it could go even further.

We could give judges the power to boot prolific offenders out of the community for a period of time as they may only keep on

going down the criminal path if allowed to hang out with like folks who they know in their own community. When I put that suggestion in the form of a motion at the BC Chamber of Commerce AGM, the motion did not pass

because Vancouverites and the Lower Mainland folk thought this would be terrible infringement on an individual’s rights. If those same people lived in many Interior small towns and cities they would understand repeat offenders are generally well known in these municipalities and also where they live. You could have a repeat bad person living next to your suite in a high rise in Vancouver and you may never know it.

What about the rights of those who were the victims in the crimes perpetrated by repeat criminal offenders?

Good try anyhow, Williams Lake. I think we should invite the Vancouver newsman up for the

Stampede, maybe he would find out us folks in the Northern Interior of B.C. do have some strong basis for many of our ‘out of city’ resolutions that come before the UBCM or the BC Chamber AGM. There were a number of resolutions considered at the UBCM including ‘pot resolutions’ that make it to the floor every convention. This year Chilliwack was asking for a ban of medical marijuana operations on farmland.

Mission is seeking increased funding and regulation support for medical pot grow-ops. *** During a spring column I suggested that folks should take their summer vacationing time in

September because the weather is better, with more sunshine, as opposed to the months of June, July and August. Mother Nature made me a good prognosticator this year as those who skipped the month of June for holiday time and took September instead, were blessed with better weather. The hotter than summer conditions for a while caused a small apple tree in my yard to start blooming pretty pink flowers. Is the tree mixed up because of the warm weather? I can’t remember this 15-year-old decorative tree blooming at this time of the year.

I think it is nice that our trees stayed green this long and there is only a little yellow here and there.

Gibraltar Mine celebrates grand opening Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer As the chartered bus winds its way up the 17-km road to Taseko’s Gibraltar Mine in the Cariboo region of B.C., most of the passengers on board are employees and their partners.

They and hundreds of other employees have been invited to celebrate the grand opening of the mine’s expansion, completed earlier this year.

Taseko’s CEO will later tell the crowd the mine has gone from 10 employees in 2006 to almost 700 today. With the expansion production has increased from 30 tons to 80 tons a day.

When the mine comes into view, the employees on the bus joke about the work place and some of the fun they have with different fellow workers.

“Every crew has its characters,” equipment operator Marlin Froese pipes up.

While employees, managers, Taseko’s upper management and board members, politicians and other big players in the mining world arrive on site they are directed to the brand new truck maintenance shop where a big party is underway.

Blue and white balloon arches, a huge

mine truck for a backdrop and music wafting from a Vancouverbased production crew greet guests.

Vice-president and mine manager Dave Roleau, clad in a cowboy hat, black suit jacket and jeans, opens the formal speeches.

“The people gathered in this room are responsible for the success of Taseko,” Roleau says.

Top of the list, he adds, are mine site employees. His comment sparks cheers and applause.

Jackson Davies of The Beachcombers fame, plays the role of a new mine employee.

Mill foreman Rod Foster plays the guitar and sings when lunch is being served.

Also in attendance are Taseko’s Japanese partners who have travelled from Japan for the celebration.

Making her tallest entrance to date, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett arrives standing on the deck of a haul truck that pulls up beside one of the shop’s truck bays.

From her 15-foot vantage point, dressed in orange coveralls, a hard hat and safety glasses, Barnett addresses the crowd.

“Hi, what’s going on here doesn’t anybody work anymore?” she chides.

Referencing May’s

provincial election, Barnett says the people elected a government that says “yes” to jobs and a mine called Prosperity.

“Look what we have here, a company that cares about the Cariboo, about families and about jobs,” she says of Taseko.

“Today is about celebrating Gibraltar,” Barnett challenges.

“We need to worktogether to get New Prosperity opened in the future.”

Hallbauer, a mining engineer by trade, says he was reminded of a conversation some mining people had with his mining engieer father almost 50 years ago.

“My father said the Gibraltar deposit would become one of the great mines in Canada,” Hallbauer recalls. “It turns out he was right.”

Less than 10 years later Gibraltar was built and today is looking to operate for another 40 years, he says.

Lake City students inspired to be leaders Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Lake City secondary school student Cade Enns sees the things he learned at a bullying workshop this week being meaningful for the entire community of Williams Lake.

“The workshop gave me inspiration to do things at my school and others schools,” the Grade 7 Enns said. “I just want to inspire other people to have a great community. I can see it going out and helping people everywhere.”

Facilitators Michael Lorsch and Amanda Wand are with the Toronto-based organization Me to We. They developed the bullying program because whenever Lorsch and Wand were conducting leadership workshops, youth were asking about bullying and if they had any programs.

“We eventually crafted a program that really looked at bullying and that’s the one we ran here - it’s called Stand Up,” Lorsch said.

Grade 12 student Robbie Jacques learned some leadership tools and said this will be his first year being involved

with leadership in his school.

“I think it’s interesting how it’s more about self-esteem and the actual individual than it is about the bully,” Jacques said.

Echoing Jacques, Grade 12 student Annie Blois suggested bullying is all around.

“Because it’s in our world, and we can’t take it out of our world, we have to encourage people because bullies are the most insecure,” Blois said. People who are being bullied need encouragement too, she added.

It’s Grade 11 student Cassidy Landry’s first year doing leadership in the school and after taking the workshop said she’s excited to make a difference.

“I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, but this is the first year that I’m actually putting myself out there to do this,” Landry said.

One of the biggest challenges will be the bullying taking place already because of the new school configuration, she said.

“There’s always been that hate between the two schools and I think that should just leave.”

Lake city secondary school Seerat Gidda has experienced racial and cyber bullying. She attended a bullying workshop for local students at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake.

Stephanie Warnock, also tackling leadership for the first year, has witnessed bullying.

“I’ve watched it, I’ve been there,” she said.

For Grade 9 student Carrie Lange, the first few weeks of school have displayed some tension because students are trying to determine different groups at the Carson campus, which is predominantly grades 7 through 9.

Lange said she looks forward to creating positive impacts from what she gleaned during the two days.

“I want to try and get everyone involved in

the school and try and get rid of all that mean stuff that I don’t want to see around.”

Seerat Gidda has been bullied racially and through social media and knows what it feels like.

“I want to prevent that from happening to other people because I don’t want other people to feel that way,” Gidda said.

At the end of the workshop Lorsch told participants the students had set the tone right.

Williams Lake council members represent city at UBCM Members of Williams Lake city council have been in Vancouver this week attending the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) Convention.

On Monday, members of Council attended a workshop: “Tools, Resources and Funding for Local Governments,” a session providing an opportunity for city councillors to meet with representatives from agencies that provide tools, resources, funding or other supports that help local governments to undertake planning, projects and development.

The Cariboo Youth Fiddlers, pictured here at the 2013 Stampede Street Party, are taking part in an exciting workshop this week. Along with fiddle instructors Ingrid Johnson, J.J. Guy and Gordon Stobbe, they are starting the second half of Stobbe’s ‘Fiddle History of Canada’. This is the third workshop dedicated to the project, and the group has entertained audiences for the past year with toe-tapping tunes that tantalize with the promise of the upcoming completed musical. The workshop took place on Wednesday and Thursday at Thompson Rivers University, and will move to Johnson’s Onward Ranch near Sugarcane Friday and Saturday.

City budget meetings off to a slow but dynamic start Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The half a dozen people showing up for the first in a series of city public budget meetings, held Thursday, Sept.

12, joined city council and staff in one group discussion, offering suggestions and criticisms.

Resident feedback offered at the meeting ranged from encouraging the city to demand more money from the federal government,

and to have shelf-ready projects so when the money comes the city is prepared. Residents also stressed the need for a bridge bringing traffic from the west side to the downtown core.

Long-time city watchdog, Elke Reiner criticized the original South Lakeside Drive improvement project for not including traffic lights for the intersection at Prosperity Way.

“That’s what you have an engineer for,” Reiner insisted.

“That project was in the making for a long time and it should have been there.”

Coun. Laurie Walters said the good news is it was caught, and the conduit will be put in regardless.

When Reiner asked if the money was set aside, Coun. Ivan Bonnell said a report still needs to be done.

“We need the report

to substantiate signalization based on traffic volume,” Bonnell said.

Reiner and downtown business owners Jan Hermaston and Elaine Winslow said if city believes the next logical development is an expansion of the Westridge area then there needs to be a road coming down from that area to a bridge crossing into the downtown core.

“It would create a better flow,” Reiner said.

“We’ve been told we

would have reach 500 people living up there before the Ministry of Transportation would even consider it,” Coun.

Surinderpal Rathor said.

Reiner also pushed for a proactive assessment plan for replacement values for all of the city’s assets.

“I like that too,” Mayor Kerry Cook responded.

“Our CAO said we have about $250 million in assets. We have

started with a very small road management plan, a very small plan for equipment, and for capital, but what you are looking for is an asset management plan for buildings, roads, equipment and everything.”

Walters added: “It’s $40 million alone in pavement.”

City chief administrative officer Darrel Garceau said it has only been in the last eight years the federal and provincial govern-

ments have acknowledged that municipalities have infrastructure problems.

“You have to think about it,” he said. “It’s not like your MPs live in some ivory tower.

They live in communities, drive the roads, experience the potholes and the sidewalks, so it is really surprising that the federal government would not have recognized that.”

The next public budget meeting is Sept. 30.

Find a Church... ...Sponsored by the Williams Lake Minister’s Fellowship

“It All Holds Together In Him” Rugged Individualism… the Lone Ranger… the spirit of independence… or as Frank Sinatra sang, “I did it My way”… these and other North American fantasies melt away in the face of one, miraculously beautiful truth: we exist as part of a relational, interdependent universe. This truth is so fundamental that it is impossible to honestly explain reality without acknowledging interrelatedness.

Many religious leaders, philosophers and artists have observed this reality. Leonardo Da Vinci said that we must “Realize that everything connects to everything else.” My biblical studies professor in college liked to trouble his students, saying “you exist as a nexus of relationships”.

John Muir, a naturalist who hiked and philosophized in the mountains of California, said “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.”

Science, in its various branches, has learned to affirm this relational principle as well. Physics, and particularly quantum physics offers “a description of the behavior of just a handful of tiny subatomic particles and the four forces that act between them.” (Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw; The Quantum Universe) Physics, biology, chemistry,

PARSONS PEN

BY JEREMY VOGT ecology—all of them speak in the language of relationship.

The Bible (not to be outdone!) reveals the ‘togetherness’ of our universe. Listen to Paul in his letter to the Colossians (1:17, New Living Translation): “He [Jesus, Christ] existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.” Notice that Paul goes slightly further than some of the other philosophers and scientists. He is not content simply observing the interconnectedness of everything. Paul attributes the interconnected universe to the presence and work of Jesus, the risen Messiah. Paul doesn’t make this attribution because of untested,

blind dogma about God’s power.

Paul understands the revealed truth that God is essentially relational in his own nature.

Jesus exists as a co-equal distinct member of the Three-in-One God—Father, Son and Spirit. The one God is a perfect, harmonious divine ‘community’ whose nature is expressed in the fabric of our universe. The Universe is deeply interconnected because God is relational. Da Vinci could observe that “Everything connects to everything else” because God willed it so as a distinct expression of what God is like.

On a more personal (and much less philosophical) note I add that God’s approach to you and me is also relational. It is startling to realize that, even in a totally interconnected universe, many of us frequently feel alone. You can rest assured, you are not alone.

God sent Jesus the Son as ‘One of us’, to walk in relationship with us.

Jesus, truly divine, showed us what it means to be truly human. He laid down his own life to rescue us from our rebellion, and He provided a way for us to be reconciled to God and reconnected to him in a trusting relationship. In all of the universe, Jesus is the power and the key to right relationship…and he is inviting YOU into relationship today. Will you respond?

Guides pedal to new experiences

AGM

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Hoping to turn more young girls on to mountain biking, the Third Williams Lake Guides is hosting a workshop out at Tyee Lake this weekend.

“It’s the first time we’re doing a bike camp,” said Guide leader Christine Constabel. It will be a full weekend with tenting over two nights.

Heather Davis will lead the workshop and set up a bike rodeo.

“She’s a better bike rider than I am,” Constabel chuckled. “Together we’ve explored some paths where we will take the girls.”

Girl Guides has a residential camp at Tyee Lake, and the local group decided to use the site to promote biking amongst its girls.

Constabel expects 35 girls at the camp and said some of them are keenly interested and have been involved in local mountain biking and the races taking place in Williams Lake.

Others have never ridden a bike before.

“I am thinking it is a great chance for everybody to explore at their own level,” Constabel said.

In addition to putting their feet to the

She also had one set up ahead of time so the girls could see how much room they will have for sleeping.

CRD seeks input on 2014 budget Angie Mindus Staff Writer The Cariboo Regional District is launching its series of town hall meetings next week.

The meetings, which are an annual event, are held by the CRD to gather public input into the upcoming budget and five-year financial plan, and to also give residents an opportunity to touch base with directors on what they feel are some of the keys issues in their areas.

“We’re really looking forward to it and we’re hoping folks will come out,” said CRD chair Al Richmond.

This year’s meetings are also a little different than in past years, Richmond said, as they are starting before the making of a provisional budget.

Last year CRD residents experienced a zero per cent tax increase in the budget.

Richmond said typically they aim to keep tax increases as low as possible, and always no more than two per cent.

Richmond said the CRD’s largest expense is solid waste management, which they are finding efficiencies in to reduce cost and reduce their environmental footprint while improving services.

The first meeting kicks off Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. at the Lac La Hache Community Hall with Area G Director Al Richmond.

Area F Director Joan Sorley will host her town hall meeting at the Big Lake Community Hall Sept. 30 at 7 p.m.

Area E Director Bryron Kemp will host his meeting Sept. 30 at Mountview Elementary.

Area J Director Roger William will host a town hall meeting Oct. 1 at Anahim Lake Community Hall, while Area K Director Chad Mernett will host a meeting Oct. 2 at 7 p.m.

Area D Director Deb Bischoff will host a town hall meeting at McLeese Lake Community Hall Oct. 5 at 1 p.m.

And lastly, Mayor Kerry Cook will host a town hall meeting at the WL council chambers Oct. 10 at 7 p.m.

The Cariboo Regional District currently provides more than 100 local government services to taxpayers including fire protection, land-use planning, solid waste management, and invasive plant management as well as access for residents to libraries and recreation facilities.

RFP marks next step in hospital redevelopment Interior Health has released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for architectural and planning services to support the creation of a concept plan for redeveloping the CMH site. Key areas of focus include the inpatient unit, ambulatory care, emergen-

cy, pharmacy as well as parking.

“Cariboo Memorial plays a vital role in providing acute health care to residents of the Cariboo and Chilcotin region.

We are very pleased to see the next step in this project moving forward. The RFP is

one of several steps required to proceed with the necessary planning for future expansion,” explains Interior Health Board Chair Norman Embree.

The Concept Plan will provide a summary of the capital and operational require-

ments specific to the scope of the project, including indicative drawings and functional programming.

It is estimated the cost of the planning will total approximately $600,000, to be cost shared 60/40 per cent between Interior Health and the

Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District (CCRHD).

“The Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District is pleased to be providing 40 percent funding for this long-awaited Concept Plan. This project will help us design a facility

that will continue to serve our region well into the future,” says CCRHD Chair John Massier.

The RFP will close in October and the successful proponent will complete work on the plan by spring 2014.

West Chilcotin referendum just passes The results are in from last weekend’s West Chilcotin referendum, and it turns out one vote tipped the scale to authorize a small taxation to support the West Chilcotin Search and Rescue Group.

According to the Cariboo Regional District, 34 residents voted in favour of

supporting the tax while 33 voted against it last Saturday.

The taxation will amount to residents paying about $3.09 per $100,000 assessed property value per owner, based on 2013 assessment values.

The West Chilcotin Search and Rescue group provides various services to the area including searches for lost or missing persons, res-

cuing trapped and/or injured persons, doing evidence searches and assisting at any community emergency that may arise when requested to do so by the RCMP, BC Ambulance, BC Coroner or other Emergency Management BC affiliated authority.

igation, radio communications, survival and basic emergency care.

To date WCSAR has trained, equipped and responded by raising funds through private and corporate sponsors and volunteer fundraising activities.

The referendum will see a maximum amount of $6,000 contributed to the unit annually.

A similar referendum was held recently in the South Cariboo, however the results there overwhelmingly supported the taxation.

Generator Safety

Downed utility lines, power company blackouts, heavy snow falls or summer storms can all lead to power outages. Many people turn to a portable generator for a temporary solution without knowing the risks.

• Generators should be used in well ventilated locations outside away from all doors, windows and vent openings.

• Never use a generator in an attached garage, even with the door open.

• Place generators so that exhaust fumes can’t enter the home through windows, doors or other openings in the building.

• Make sure to install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in your home. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for correct placement and mounting height.

• Turn off generators and let them cool down before refueling. Never refuel a generator while it is running • Store fuel for the generator in a container that is intended for the purpose and is correctly labeled as such. Store the containers outside of living areas.

Just RemembeR When plugging in appliances, make sure they are plugged directly into the generator or a heavy duty outdoor-rated extension cord. The cords should be checked for cuts, tears and that the plug has all three prongs, especially a grounding pin. If you must connect the generator to the house wiring to power appliances, have a qualified electrician install a properly rated transfer switch in accordance with the National Electrical Code® (NEC) and all applicable state and local electrical codes.

A favourite grouse recipe Hunting season is a time to grab the armament and head out into the bush in search of deer, moose, or game birds.

Although I haven’t hunted for a few years, I grew up hunting in Saskatchewan in pursuit of ducks, geese, upland game birds, deer, moose and bear.

I’m fortunate because I have friends and acquaintances who bring me deer and moose to cook.

I like the taste of wild game birds and animals.

For those of you who are bird hunters,

Ken’s Contemplating Country Kitchen Ken

with Ken Wilson

here is a grouse recipe I know you will enjoy.

As long as you have an oven you can cook this fabulous meal anywhere and it does not take long to make, nor do you have to be a super cook to prepare this tasty recipe.

For the many years I have been doing Ken’s Country Kitchen on

Radio and Newspaper I have had several requests from hunters for Rosalie’s Grouse recipe. Each year around hunting time I pass along this recipe.

The dish was passed along to me by a lady in 100 Mile who was supposed to be related to Royal family. She passed away a number of years ago, but her recipe (she made it up) is still going strong.

You will notice that amounts are not quite exact, so use your own judgment.

Rosalie’s Grouse Casserole Use the breasts from

two grouse. Wash the meat, dry it on a paper towel and then roll in flour. Season highly with paprika, pepper, salt and garlic powder.

Brown on all sides in plenty of butter, then place in a casserole.

Make a sauce with the remaining butter in the pan and about 1/4 cup of flour. Add a can of mushrooms with the juice and 3/4 cup of cream.

Throw in a bit of left over gravy from a roast if you have any, otherwise add a little Worcestershire sauce, or chicken bouillon

cube. Cook this sauce for a few minutes then pour over the grouse in the casserole, cover and bake in a very slow oven, about 300 degrees for about one to one-and-a-half hours or until done.

This recipe serves two.

This is a really good dish, but don’t grouse about it if you don’t have any of these wild birds, try chicken instead.

Enjoy your hunting trips this fall and please hunt safely.

Bye for now and GOOOOOD COOKING.

Williams Lake joins bylaw adjudication system Residents of Williams Lake involved in minor bylaw infractions, such as animal and zoning complaints, can now take their disputes to an independent adjudicator working outside the traditional courtroom, Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton announced Wednesday, Sept. 18, at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver.

“Taking a matter to court can be a lengthy process,” Anton said during the announcement. “This system saves people time and helps reduce pressure on the courts without increasing costs to tax-

payers. With the addition of the City of Williams Lake, there are now 65 local governments using or developing the bylaw adjudication system.”

Effective Sept. 30, 2013, the city of Williams Lake, as well as the Regional District of Central Kootenay, the District of Coldstream and the Thompson‐Nicola Regional District will join the bylaw adjudication system, which is offered through the Ministry of Justice.

The adjudication system saves local governments time and money and makes for more efficient use of court resources by eliminating the roles of court

a ticket to do so without having to attend an actual court hearing.

This not only frees up time for the offender, but for the courts and bylaw officers, as well.”

As part of ongoing reform to the justice system, the B.C. government is increasing the number of alternative ways to resolve disputes, when appropriate, without requiring individuals to use the courts.

Court alternatives help to reduce stress, shorten the time required to resolve disputes and ultimately cut costs for both the individual and taxpayer.

Presently there are 65 local governments

throughout B.C. using, or in the process of developing a bylaw dispute adjudication system.

Dispute adjudication issues range from parking tickets to dog licensing and minor zoning infractions. The City of North Vancouver, District of North Vancouver and District of West Vancouver were the first in B.C. to establish a bylaw adjudication system as part of a 2004 pilot project.

Individual municipalities track the number of bylaws managed by the adjudication process, and have screening officers who attempt to resolve disputes prior to the formal adjudication.

Williams Lake plans to use the system to enforce noise, business license, zoning, animal control and licensing, water conservation and other similar bylaw disputes more effectively and efficiently.

STOLEN BIKES: Recovered

Business takes matters into its own hands Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Two dirt bikes stolen from Williams Lake Honda KTM Monday evening have been found, said Nancy Watt, whose husband owns the business.

“Our son Mitchell owned one of the bikes and he was down looking in the River Valley all day yesterday and today,” Watt told the Tribune/ Advisor Wednesday afternoon.

“We had lots of help from the whole town when the word got out about the bikes being stolen.”

the stickers and decals were removed, Watt added.

Watt said a third bike was stolen Monday from Honda as

well, but after Mitchell and his friends followed tracks they were able to locate it Tuesday morning because it had run out of gas.

Williams Lake RCMP Insp. Warren Brown said Wednesday one suspect was arrested Tuesday evening in relation to the stolen bikes and was later released.

“The investigation is continuing,” Brown said of the thefts.

“We still have police officers on the road in this active investigation.”

Watt said Monday night’s theft was the first time Honda has been broken into in 10 years.

Gaudy Garden Gumshoes While I always admire a nice pair of shoes I am not your typical shoe gal.

Working out of a home office and spending my downtime in the garden does not require fancy footwear.

I do try to keep a pair of decent shoes for when I go to town — which isn’t often — or out on the town, which is even rarer.

Over ten years ago I bought a pair of Josef Seibel shoes; black flats with a red flower on the side. They are the only designer name shoes I have ever owned and more than a decade later they are still my go-to pair of “town” shoes. They are crazy comfortable. I wouldn’t think twice about wearing them for a hike in the mountains. Unfortunately they are starting to look like I’ve done just that. On a recent trip to a city I was accosted by shoe shiners who shouted things like, “Those look like your favourite pair of shoes!” (Translation; those shoes are really worn out) and one woman who said, “Come for a shine, your poor shoes are weeping!”

This spring I bought a whopping three pairs of shoes; an unprecedented number. However, all three were for wearing in the garden.

The first pair I bought were comfy slip-ons with thick juicy soles that looked to be just the ticket. Unfortunately they leaked.

Badly. When my feet were soaked after simply walking across the dew smattered lawn, I took them off in exasperation and examined them.

Turns out they were aqua shoes for wearing at the beach. Or on a yacht. We have neither.

Good grief.

My second purchase was a horribly tacky pair of rubber “gumboot” shoes in a bright yellow with tiny red and purple flowers all over them. It was love at first sight.

I wore those babies all through spring planting until they too sprung a leak. Unlike the deceptively micro hole-filled aqua shoes, this pair leaked because I wore

holes through both the soles. They were no Josef Seibel.

The old adage is true…you get what you pay for.

Undeterred by quality or common sense, I went back to the store and bought another pair.

The boisterous yellow pattern made me smile; and it’s always good to have things that make you smile. However, they now look like road kill. A summer’s worth of grass stains and gumbo have not been kind to my yellow footwear. When one of the shoes — predictably — split open on the side I had to concede they were cheaply made and there was no point in buying a third pair.

So I fixed them with a bit of duct tape.

By now I’m sure you realize I am not a fashion diva.

Couple this with a somewhat dreamy and distracted disposition and interesting things can happen. Last week I was getting ready for an event in town. I took the time to iron a dress shirt and pants.

I spent fifteen minutes polishing up my ancient Josef Seibel shoes until they reached a lustre that would make any shoe shiner weep.

Or get a bit misty eyed anyway. I picked out some jewellery, fixed my hair and spritzed on some perfume. I even applied some mascara. Just as I was heading out the door I remembered I had promised a friend I would bring her some fresh kale from my garden, so I grabbed a bag, slipped on my trusty yellow gumshoes, ran up to the garden and filled the bag full.

Then I ran back to the house, grabbed my car keys and my purse and headed off to town.

When I arrived at

the event I couldn’t help but notice people were acting strange.

They would greet me with a smile, look at the ground, then kind of falter, stammer and drift away.

After this happened several times I followed their gaze downward.

To my horror there were my garden gumshoes — in all their gaudy, grass and gumbo stained, duct tape mended, glory--still on my feet. I had forgot to change!

Good grief. You can take the girl out of the garden, but you can’t take the garden out of the girl. Or something like that.

I heard the tail end of an interview the other day with a woman who had spent her childhood in a jungle living with monkeys.

I believe her mother was some sort of wildlife researcher or scientist.

Anyway, when they returned to civilization the transition was difficult.

She said that with monkeys you know where you stand, but humans are unpredictable.

They make up all these nonsensical social rules and then shun or laugh at you if you don’t follow them.

Things like not wearing duct taped gaudy garden shoes with dress clothes to an event.

There’s something to be said for living with monkeys.

School district fully behind ERASE program Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Safe Schools branch of the Ministry of Education has been promoting the ERASE (Expect Respect and a Safe Education) program for the past two years. Stand Up was offered as a pilot project to interested school districts to provide a student focused approach to address the issue of bullying that complements the ERASE strategy that all schools in all school districts are currently working on, said Jan Fichtner, District Vice Principal for Healthy Schools and Healthy Students.

“In the upcoming year SD #27 will be hosting a second regional training session for the ERASE program and SD #28 Quesnel and SD #49 Bella Coola will be joining us,” Fichtner said.

Experienced presenters will be facilitating a three-day workshop and providing information and resources to representatives from all elementary and secondary schools, First Nations and Independent Schools as well as community partners including RCMP, MCFD and Child and Youth Mental Health.

A d d i t i o n a l l y, schools will be continuing to work on refining protocols and strategies to build a positive, safe and inclusive school culture.

Jan Fichtner, District Vice Principal for Healthy Schools and Healthy Students, said bullying is always a topic of concern for staff, students and parents.

“We recognize the need to develop a safe and supportive school culture where we raise the awareness and lower the risk and frequency of bullying in schools.”

But rather than just

focusing on bullying, the district works on the broader and more

positive perspective of working together to learn to build

healthy relationships, manage conflict effectively and empower-

ing youth with skills in communication, teamwork and advo-

cacy for each other.

“Our goal — to build a positive, safe

and inclusive school community,” Fichner said.

Blaine Manuel of 150 Mile gets to the eight-second whistle in the final round of the 2013 BCRA Finals Championship rodeo on Sunday in Quesnel.

Not only did he make it to the whistle, he spurred his way to the high-score of the day, marking a 76 to take the go-round winnersbuckle. The day-win also generated enough extra points to take the overall Finals championship title in the Junior Steer Riding as he ascended to the top of the ladder, rising a couple of notches above the number three-rung that he began the finals on.

Champions crowned at BCRA Finals The B.C. Rodeo Association wrapped up the 2013 rodeo season last weekend in Quesnel with its BCRA Championships Finals at the Alex Fraser Park.

“The South Quesnel Business Association and the Quesnel Rodeo Club once again did a fantastic job hosting the BC Rodeo Association Finals with three days of action-packed rodeo,” the BCRA said in a release.

“The BCRA hosted 20 rodeos throughout the prov-

ince this year and the top 10 in each event competed for the prestigious title of the BCRA Finals Champion.

New this year, the Finals Go-Round Champions received beautiful buckles.”

The first go-round of the finals was dedicated to breast cancer awareness with a Tough Enough to Wear Pink night.

Williams Lake and area cowboys and cowgirls were at the top of their games — bringing home not only several top finishes, but

also multiple BCRA Finals Championship buckles.

Riske Creek’s Ryan Jasper, Williams Lake’s Brianna Billy and 150 Mile House’s Blaine Manuel were each crowned champions in their respective events.

Jasper claimed top honours to win the prestigious bull riding finals championship after a third-place finish in his first go (78.5 points), a no time in his second go, and a first-place ride in his third and final

go of the weekend (83.5) to bring home the buckle.

Manuel, meanwhile, was busy making a name for himself as the freshly minted Junior Steer Riding Champion.

Manuel finished second in his first go (74 points), third in his second go (73 points) and first in his third go (76 points) to bring home the crown.

Billy, who finished the BCRA season as runnerup in pee wee barrel racing, rode to three blazing fast

times to claim the championship buckle.

Billy posted times of 17.060 seconds, 16.964 seconds and 17.061 seconds to finish with two first-place finishes and a second-place finish on the weekend.

The following are the results from all of the other Williams Lake and area rodeo competitors who qualified for the BCRA Championship Finals: See LOCALS Page B3

Williams Lake wins Ryder Cup on hostile soil Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Ryder Cup — a battle between four golf teams representing their respective Cariboo cities and towns — had, up until Sunday, never been won by a visiting team.

A group of 12 Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club members changed all that, marching into the 108 Resort and Golf Links on the weekend and snatching the title away from the host team, and the Aberdeen Glen (Prince George) and Quesnel Golf Club teams.

George McGibbon, captain of team Wil-

to solid play from the top to the bottom of their roster.

“It’s the first time we’ve won away from home,” McGibbon

said. “And it was good to beat 108. We had a strong perfor-

mance by all team members that led to an exciting finish.”

2013 marks the second year in a row a team from Williams Lake has brought home the Ryder Cup. Last year Williams Lake won the tournament as the host team.

Williams Lake scored the most points — tallying 69.5 — to edge the 108 Resort’s 59-point total.

McGibbon said Morgan Day, acting as the team’s pro, accumulated more points than any Williams Lake pro at past events.

Team member Jordan Siegmueller, likewise, was on his game

scoring eight of a possible nine points to lead all players.

McGibbon added the course at the 108 Resort was in excellent condition and said teams were treated to great weather throughout the weekend.

Prince George finished the tournament in third place with 50 points, while Quesnel placed fourth with 37.5 points.

The Williams Lake team was made up of McGibbon, Day, Siegmueller, Cody Wells, Evan McDonald, Jim Rolston, Chris Durrant, Scott Zimonick, Chris Hicks, John Pickard, Ernie Manchur and Harvey Lammi.

Brianna Billy of Williams Lake finished the 2013 BCRA season as the Peewee Barrel Racing runner-up, which guaranteed her one of the top-10 positions required to be eligible to compete in the BCRA Finals rodeo, held this past weekend in Quesnel. This little cowgirl rode with focus and determination and it paid off in spades as consistency and good speed earned her the 2013 BCRA Finals Champion title. The tiny little horsewoman is shown here rounding the third barrel on Sunday (dressed in red in support of our Armed Forces).

Participants soar in Cariboo mountain race In record Cariboo Mountain temperatures last weekend, 60 participants from 16 cities tromped the skyline in the seventh annual 7 Summits Bike and Hike Challenge.

This 60-kilometre event covers seven mountains in seven stages, with more than 7,000 feet of elevation gain in just one day. The event starts on the streets of Barkerville Historic Town in the North Cariboo Mountains, near Quesnel.

Participants finally end their day, as much as 12 self-propelled hours later, in the picturesque town of Wells, to celebrate their accomplishment.

This Cariboo Mountain event is notable for the challenging mountain weather conditions

of the North Cariboos in Fall.

However, the challenge this year was in keeping hydrated in temperatures in the high 20s while hiking or biking uphill.

With more than 40 km of biking and more than 20 km of hiking this event was accomplished this year with an average time of more than nine hours from start to finish.

Although some may ask, “Why do it?” this unique event challenges individuals to push their personal limits in a social and non-competitive environment that combines beautiful hikes in the North Cariboo alpine with a festive atmosphere.

With more than 20 women registered, including two women from Prince George who ran

Stephan Widmer of Prince George followed closely, a mere 10 minutes behind. However, the perennial trophy for this event goes, not to the fastest, but the ‘Most Average’ Time. At 9 hours and 6 minutes, Matt White of North Vancouver was immortalized on the perennial trophy for exemplifying the spirit of enjoyment of the mountains. In addition, being the seventh 7 Summits a special pottery piece was commissioned from artist Joan Beck of Williams Lake for all seven participants who were closest to the ‘Most Average Time’ this year.

Noted for its quirky style, this event draws some of the top trail athletes from around B.C., as well as a variety of participants from every region of the province

The fastest time at this year’s 7 Summits Bike and Hike Challenge was posted for the third year in a row by Peter Findlay of Kamloops (centre). Second was Stephan Widmer of Prince George (left) and third was Matt Hewitt of Vernon. the entire distance without bikes, the event has wide appeal. Fifty-five people completed the entire route.

Event organizer Dave Jorgenson was thrilled by the results.

“Everyone comment-

ed on how happy this event makes them feel,” he said. “Here’s our ultimate goal: to get people to experience the mountains, acknowledge and respect our alpine treasures, connect with the history, and have a great

day. Clearly it’s working!”

Peter Findlay of Kamloops improved on his first-place finish time by another 10 minutes this year, reducing the 60 km event to a five hour and three minute course.

who are attracted by its raw beauty, inclusive style and relaxed and communal atmosphere.

The Seven Summits Bike and Hike Challenge was created at the Bear’s Paw Café in Wells, and is sponsored by a variety of local businesses, and supported by a cadre of dedicated volunteers.

The entry fee includes a hot lunch, prizes, unique pottery participant awards and more.

This event is the recipient of an ‘Environmental Stewardship Award’ from the Wilderness Tourism Association.

All the profits from entry fees go to support the Friends of Barkerville and the Cariboo Goldfields, whose hard work has helped to preserve the many historic trails on which we are privileged to travel.

Rustlers to contend for Saratoga Cup this weekend The Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football Club are one of four teams headed to Penticton this weekend to contest for the 2013 Saratoga Cup. The men’s Independent Provincial Club Championship features teams from the Okanagan, Central, Kootenays and Lower Mainland/Vancouver Island regions competing in a two-day championship at McNicol Rugby Oval.

Current holders, Penticton, were eliminated from the playoffs this year and the Okanagan Rugby Union will now be represented by West Kelowna-Salmon Arm reps, Manthers RFC. Also, the Deltabased Brit Lions — the 2012 runner-ups — will be returning for a second straight appearance at the cham-

pionships.

Williams Lake enters the tournament as the third seed, while BC Rugby Union newcomers Elk Valley Rugby Football Club — a team comprised of players from Fernie, Sparwood, Elkford and Crowsnest Past — will be debuting at the tournament as the fourth seed.

Semifinals get underway on Saturday with the placement rounds set for Sunday morning.

The Rustlers play their tournament opener Saturday at 4 p.m. versus the Brit Lions.

The Rustlers finished their regular season with three wins and one loss, and also finished first at the Williams Lake Stampede Rugby Tournament.

Williams Lake

coach Todd Pritchard said the Rustlers’ mix of veteran and rookie players continues the true tradition of thirddivision rugby.

“We’re bringing a real mix of young and old … and are looking forward to a great weekend both on and off the pitch,” Pritchard said.

“Players to watch for the weekend for Williams Lake are Riley Ilnicki and Anthony Faggiani who have both been outstanding in the forwards and Jordan Pritchard and Sky Freeman have excelled in the backs.”

The Rustlers, to date this year, have compiled a total record of 17 wins, eight losses and one tie.

“Good luck to all the teams making the trip to participate in the Saratoga Cup!” Pritchard added.

The Scotibank team were out in full force helping Sunday’s BC SPCA fundraiser, Paws for a Cause, run smoothly. Here, staff members show off gift baskets they donated for the auction.

Confidence in small business up Small business confidence in B.C. continued to increase in August, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

The Business Barometer index rose 1.9 points to 66.3, holding the fifth spot among other provinces and remaining above the national average of 65.9.

Short-term full-time hiring plans are more positive than usual with 22 per cent of respondents expecting to add

staff and only 8 per cent looking to trim down.

“Overall business outlooks in the province have remained basically steady near this level since late last year,” said Mike Klassen, CFIB director of provincial affairs.

“Tax and regulatory costs remain the top constraint on businesses with 67 per cent being concerned over it — still the highest level in the country.”

Entrepreneurs in Saskatchewan (70.7)

are the most optimistic in Canada, with Newfoundland and Labrador (70.4) a close second, followed by Alberta (69.5), Ontario (67.8) and British Columbia (66.3). Quebec (59.0), New Brunswick (58.5), Nova Scotia (58.0), and Manitoba (57.6) are below the national average, while Prince Edward Island (50.0) is at the back of the pack.

“Once again, increased confidence among Ontario entre-

preneurs has powered the national average, although the Index numbers are up in seven of the ten provinces,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s chief economist and vice-president.

“August has been a pretty good month for businesses engaged in agriculture, manufacturing, retail, professional services and hospitality. On the other hand, we’re seeing uneven or weak outlooks for construction and transportation.”

Fall CAR CARE Clean your windows before winter!

Winter driving can be messy, especially when it rains, snows, or when the roads are slushy.

A dirty car doesn’t stop most busy people from driving, but there are some risks to driving with dirty windows.

Squirting some windshield washer onto the windscreen might help, but that’s only if the fluid has been topped up, and it doesn’t do much to clean side and rear windows.

The kind of windshield washer fluid used also has a big influence on the visibility you end up with.

Another factor affecting visibility is

Clean glass, inside and out, will help your winter driving.

by sun glare.

A thorough cleaning of all windows, from the inside, is a good winter time preparation.

Check at your hardware store or gas station for window

cleaning products that will also eliminate fogging.

While you’re at it, why not clean the sunglasses you keep in the car?

Be sure that they are good quality

glasses that are easy to clean and that perform well in sunglare conditions.

Taking care of all the glass in your car before winter comes will help you stay safe on the road!

Fall CAR CARE How to stay safe on winter roads

Driving during or after snowfall, can be dangerous. ice. Black ice gets its name from its veritable invisibility. It is so thin and hard to spot, it just looks like the black asphalt of the road. Black ice tends to form in areas that have had snow or ice melt, which then refreezes at night when temperatures drop. Be extra cautious on turns and on highway exit and entrance ramps, where black ice frequently forms. * Steer your car into the skid. Remain calm and do not panic and

jam on the brakes if your car starts to skid.

Slamming on the brakes will only exacerbate the skid. Rather, take your foot off the accelerator, allowing the car to naturally slow down as you turn your wheels into the direction the car is skidding. This should help right the car and get you back on track. * Invest in snow tires.

Those who live in especially snowy climates and do a lot of driving would be wise to purchase snow tires. Snow

Winter is unpredictable…

Your tires shouldn’t be!

tires, also called winter tires, have special tread patterns that offer better traction in snow and ice.

They also are made from softer rubber compounds than regular tires that retain their flexibility in cold weather, allowing the tire to conform to the surface of the road. Although many vehicles come with technology to prevent accidents, they cannot do their jobs if

tires are not maintaining their grip on the road.

All-season tires are not a replacement for snow tires. All-season tires are designed to work in all sorts of conditions, from rainy weather to dry roads.

Therefore, it is better to invest in a set of snow tires that will offer you better protection.

When putting snow tires on a car or truck, be sure to do so on all

the wheels -- not just the driving wheels. Otherwise you may still risk spin outs or uneven gripping of the road.

It is not a good idea to keep snow tires on all year. Because they are softer, snow tires tend to be more noisy and can wear out faster in warmer weather.

Therefore, switch out the tires at the beginning of the snowy season and then before the spring arrives anew.

It can be more difficult to stop or maneuver around a potential obstacle when conditions are less than ideal. Traveling at a high speed will increase the risk of accidents. * Leave enough room between you and other motorists. Tailgating is responsible for many accidents, even when there is no snow on the ground. In inclement weather, it can take longer to slow or stop the car after pressing on the brakes.

Snowy weather can be a time for fun, especially for avid skiers or children who relish spending days off from school tossing snowballs and building snow forts. Many adults, however, do not look forward to the snow as much as youngsters do.

Snow can be hazardous when driving, but putting snow tires on a vehicle can improve vehicle safety.

According to information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, roughly 115 people die every day in vehicle crashes in the United States. Each winter, snowfall compounds treacherous road conditions, increasing the risk of accidents.

It is important to know how to drive when weather conditions are dangerous. It is also wise to outfit a vehicle to reduce its risk of slipping and sliding on icy, snowy roads.

Here are some tips to follow. * Limit time spent driving in the snow.

Avoid driving during snowstorms or directly after whenever possible.

Snow not only makes roads slick, but falling flakes can impair a driver’s visibility and reduce his or her response time. Try to wait until snow-clearing teams have salted, plowed and sanded roads before venturing out. * Be sure you can see clearly. Clear off the snow from the windshield, side mirrors and windows so it does not compromise your view.

Also, top off the windshield fluid so you will be able to clear snow and salt kick-up from your windshield. Look

Fall CAR CARE How old are your winter tires?

Perhaps you are the kind of motorist who does not travel far and long in winter. Maybe you have kept that vehicle of yours for so many years that you can’t remember when you bought winter tires for it. If you are about to put those same old tires back on the car for the upcoming winter, stop and think about it. Do you really know how old they are? Did you know there is an

expiration date for tires?

In most cases, the date the tire was made is cast in the sidewall.

Tires made before 2000 will have a 10-digit identification number beginning with DOT and ending with a number like 408, for example. That means the tire was made during the fortieth week of the year and the eighth year of the decade.

Since 2000, manufac-

turers have been using a 12-digit identification number, still beginning with DOT but ending with four-digit number, such as 5107. In this case, the tire was made during the fiftyfirst week of the year 07 (2007).

According to most manufacturers, most tires have a safe and useful life of about seven years. That is when the rubber starts drying out and begins crack-

ing up. Such tires might not scare you if you do mostly city driving at slower speeds, but the moment you hit the highways, such aging tires are a concern.

They will not be able to sustain higher speeds and can blow up at higher speeds.

If you can’t figure out the age of your older tires yourself, don’t hesitate to consult your local tire dealer for some help.

Tires have a lifespan that can be verified. Do you know how old your tires are?

Driving assistance gadgets-- are they worth it?

Backup Cameras Some people cannot live without a rear camera in their vehicle, while others consider such a feature an unnecessary expense.

There are many advantages to backup cameras. Buyers concerned about the cost of a backup camera should keep in mind that this option can be installed aftermarket, and some are sold as do-it-yourself kits.

Backup cameras are primarily mounted in the rear of the car near the license plate holder. Some also may be tied to additional reverse lighting to provide extra illumination when backing up at night.

The purpose of the backup camera is to provide an unobstructed view of what is behind the vehicle when driving in reverse.

Sport utility vehicles and light trucks have higher profiles and

large blind spots in the rear, which makes backing up tricky. According to the organization Keep Kids Safe, SUVs may pose a very real and deadly hazard to children, as do minivans and large pickup trucks, because they have poor rear visibility and large blind spots, which can make it more likely for someone to back his or her vehicle over a child.

Those who want to save money may want to invest in a backup alert instead of a camera. This sensor will sound when you’ve closed in on an obstacle behind the vehicle.

Parking assist Some cars and trucks are now coming off of the factory line with an option to assist with parking.

Intelligent Parking Assist System, or IPAS (also known as the Advanced Parking Guidance System, or

APGS, in some Toyota and Lexus models), is a system that involves the use of cameras and sensors to easily park a car with minimal effort from the driver.

There are many things first-time drivers are nervous about when taking their road tests.

Parking tops the list of the tested skills that are problematic for new drivers. Parking even causes many students to fail the road test portion of their drivers’ licensing exams.

Initial development of a parking assistance

system can be traced back to the start of the 21st century and was pioneered by Toyota engineers for the Prius Hybrid sold in Japan.

Eventually, many car manufacturers started introducing their own versions of parking assistance.

While the parking assist technology is worth it to drivers who struggle when parking, there is no major research to indicate that this technology is essential to preventing accidents. Drivers who can competently park their vehicles might want to forgo a park-

ing assist option to save money.

Many new technolo-

gies have been introduced into the automotive market, and

drivers must decide if these options are a worthy investment.

Connect parent group begins Oct. 8 Sheila Cohen Special to The Weekend Advisor Sometimes wonder and worry about your child’s behaviour?

Concerned about your relationship with your child?

Feel like you just don’t know what to do?

Past methods have focused on controlling the behaviour.

Many parents and caregivers have struggled with this as it does not produce the results they hoped for.

The Connect Parent Group is a series of workshops in Williams Lake that takes a different approach than most other parenting groups.

Rather than focusing on behavioural management techniques, the Connect Parent Group focuses on enhancing the building blocks of at-

tachment, improving the parents’ ability to reflect before acting, and adjust their feelings so they respond more constructively to conflict.

The series of free 10 one-hour sessions is delivered over 10 weeks.

Parents watch roleplays presented by two facilitators that open new choices for responding to their adolescent’s difficult behaviour.

Parents learn, for example, that conflict is part of attachment and is particularly acute during times, such as the transition through adolescence.

Parents learn to ‘step back’ in emotionally charged situations, recognize and modify their own feelings, while considering the possible meanings behind their adolescent’s behaviour.

Throughout the sessions parents are also encouraged to reflect upon their own experiences — when they were adolescents as well as their present circumstances.

Helping parents feel more knowledgeable in these areas helps them understand their adolescent’s behaviours and needs.

This allows parents to keep their emotions in check when dealing with difficult situations and use parenting strategies that clearly sets limits and expectations but does it in a way that maintains relationships.

Connect has promising outcomes, both short and long term.

Parents report feeling less stressed and more effective in parenting; they see fewer behaviour problems and better social functioning in their teen.

Parents who have

participated in the group have provided positive feedback and indicated they feel respected and supported in the group.

The next Connect

Parent Group session runs on Tuesdays from Oct. 8 to Dec. 10 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

There is no charge but pre-registration is required due to lim-

ited space.

Food and refreshments are provided.

To register or for more information on this program please contact: Sheila Co-

hen, Family Counsellor for Family Solutions, Canadian Mental Health Association, Cariboo Chilcotin Branch at 250-305-4487.

Ten tips for parents on dealing with an empty nest Going away to college or university marks a milestone in the lives of young adults and their parents. For the child it’s an exciting time to develop new relationships, take on additional responsibility, and develop their own identity.

For parents it can be a time when they begin to ask themselves, “what role do I play?” Hearing stories of drinking, bullying and property damage at school can worry parents about how to keep their kids safe. Dr. David Wolfe, director of CAMH’s Centre for Prevention Science has developed a tip sheet to help parents better communicate and build healthy relationships with their children as they transition.

Ten tips for parents 1.) Be a parent (not a friend). While growing up children learned to depend on you for mature advice and guidance. Continue this role, and step back a bit from needing to know

everything in their life.

2.) Don’t intrude.

Let them make new friends, while knowing you’re still a major part of their life. Try to resist the temptation to contact them too often, through e-mails, text messages, Facebook and phone calls. Let them take the lead.

3.) Don’t pressure.

Parents are sometimes too eager to see their kids find their niche, settle their plans, and reach their goals. This can come across to them as pressure or demands. Finding their niche takes time, and it’s their time and their life.

4.) Avoid “helicopter parenting”. Some say today’s parents are more hovering and protective than previous generations, which can make the process of transition difficult for some who are used to daily contact with parents. While it is important that you provide ongoing support and remain involved and interested in your child’s

life, you must be willing to back-off and let them grow.

5.) Encourage new ideas. College and university is a time to explore new options and be exposed to new possibilities, so encourage them to investigate new courses and interests, even if it could mean a change in focus or delay in completing their degree. In the long run this is time well spent, for they will have chosen a career that is best for them.

6.) Be supportive. It is important for students to feel supported, but still in charge.

7.) Encourage friendships and connection.

Students who develop meaningful relationships with peers have fewer emotional and physical symptoms of stress.

8.) Be a touchstone of maturity and good advice. In an effort to make friends and fit in (or to cope with stress and anxiety), some students engage in excessive drinking, drug

use, promiscuous sexual activity, and other health-compromising activities. Rather than telling your child what they can or cannot do, let them know what you expect of them, how proud you are of their efforts, and that you are available if they need

advice.

9.) Assist with time and money management. Many students are ill-prepared at managing their time or their finances, which contributes to their stress.

Resist the temptation to reduce stress by giving money — remind

them of their choices and help them plan a budget.

10.)

Recommend academic and student counseling resources.

If your child seems to be struggling, the first line of defence may be to have them speak to a counselor. Academic

or mental health counselors can help students find the right courses, learn better study habits, and can also assist with all other aspects of health and well-being, including therapies to improve coping skills and strengthen relationships and connections.

This spacious bungalow, with its attractive roof line and three-car garage, radiates curb-appeal.

A double-height gabled porch signals the entrance, which leads into a foyer with a coat closet on the left and an archway to the formal dining room on the right. The dining room opens to the great room through a second archway. The dining room’s 12-foot ceiling adds a touch of drama.

The 12-foot ceiling continues into the great room, where the fireplace will provide a cozy focal point in the cooler months. French doors open onto a covered patio, ideal for al fresco family meals and summer entertaining.

The efficient open-plan kitchen features a U-shaped counter configuration as well as a prep island, a recipe for a truly contented cook. A large pantry and a window over the sink complete the design.

A third archway marks the corridor leading to the master suite, where a display niche will provide a showcase for plants and collectibles. Along with a powder room, a linen closet and a second coat cupboard are both handy to the laundry room. The laundry room has access to the garage, which boasts a built-in work bench.

The master suite, located at the back of the home for privacy, boasts a window seat overlooking the back garden. The walk-in closet is roomy enough for even the most committed followers of fashion. In the en-suite, with both a soaker tub and a shower stall, the double

basins will ease the morning rush-hour.

On the opposite side of the house are the second and third bedrooms, separated by a shared bathroom.

Bedroom No. 3 features an extra-wide window sill, and overlooks the front garden.

On the exterior, stone, siding and shingles give the home a distinctive look. The front porch is defined by a wrought-iron railing.

This home measures 65 feet, six inches wide, by 62 feet deep, for a total of 2002 square feet. Ceilings, except where otherwise noted, are nine feet high.

Plans for design 5-3-658 are available for $758 (set of 5), $856 (set of 8) and $917 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 7% P.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.
