Gentles to face charges in Supreme Court Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Flyers Staples, Total Pet, Safeway, Save On. Designated areas: Marks Work Wearhouse, Sears, Chamber.

Martin Gentles has been ordered to stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court on charges of impaired driving causing death and causing bodily harm, among others. Crown spokesperson Neil MacKenzie said an arrangement

hearing is scheduled for Nov. 18 to set the dates of the trial. The order comes after a threeday preliminary inquiry was held in Williams Lake Provincial Court between Oct. 7 to Oct. 9, where several witnesses, including both RCMP and civilian, were questioned by Crown and defence counsels in front of presiding Justice Victor Galbraith.

Gentles is charged with dangerous driving causing death, dangerous driving causing bodily harm, impaired driving causing death, causing an accident resulting in death, impaired driving causing bodily harm, causing an accident resulting in bodily harm, and failure to stop at the scene of an accident. The charges stem from an in-

cident that occurred on April 22, 2012 on Carson Drive in Williams Lake where Rayel MacDonald was killed and her friend Alysha Mullet was seriously injured. At the onset of the trial, a publication ban was put in place. While Gentles has not entered a plea, he has selected to be tried by judge alone, MacKenzie said.

Government aims to regulate ATVs Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake realtor and outdoor recreation enthusiast Henry Van Soest is not happy about a proposed outdoor recreational vehicle (ORV) act that would require licensing of all off-road vehicles. “It’s a knee jerk reaction to bad apples,” Van Soest said Friday. “You get one bad apple in a bushel and the government seems to want to spend millions of dollars stopping that handful of individuals destroying land or using vehicles illegally.” His goal, he warned, will be to stop the act before it gets going. “You can’t legislate stupid out of people,” he said. “This is a bush machine, people use them in the wilderness and there’s very little enforcement. Even for a hunter, we rarely see conservation officers in the bush.” License plates would be covered in mud and unreadable, he added. B.C. is one of the last places in Canada that still has free reign for off-road vehicles, Van Soest argued. “Ninety-five per cent of B.C. is Crown land. Crown land is entrusted to the B.C. government and is owned by you and me and every tax payer.” It’s also a tax grab, he insisted. Cariboo North MLA Donna Barnett said the act is in response to requests by many stakeholders.

Henry Van Soest “The associations and clubs asked for an act for registration so all vehicles can be registered,” Barnett said. “Snowmobiles have been registered and governed forever and a day.” As a member of the minister’s ORV management framework committee, Barnett has attended several meetings with stakeholders. “There has never been an act for ORVs to be registered,” she said. “They get stolen and there’s no way of tracing them.” She argued that the act won’t be a detriment. “It’s there because it was asked for. It’s not a tax grab, but will be a one-time registration license fee like the one paid on snowmobiles.” Van Soest said the stakeholder groups involved in the committee do not represent the thousands of people in the province who enjoy outdoor vehicle recreation. “Thousands of people do not belong to any clubs and have not participated with any government discus-

sions,” he said. He also alleged the act will cost millions of dollars to implement and additional millions of dollars to enforce. “Once the act gets in, and I’m hoping it doesn’t, it puts these things under the same rules as the motor vehicle act. Lawyers will be the biggest beneficiaries.” Without an act, people aren’t really in violation of anything, he said. “You will see more restrictions come out as a result.” The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations said the act will attempt to enhance safety measures to help reduce deaths or serious injuries, especially among youth, ensure there are more safe and convenient highway crossing to connect communities and trail systems, and involve a compliance and enforcement strategy focused on compliance through public information and education. Public affairs officer Brennan Clarke said it is a complex issue. “The ministry is seeking solutions that are fair to all user groups and it’s essential to take the time to get it right. There remain some unresolved issues raised by stakeholders, including the need for improved enforcement tools and keeping potential costs for registration as low as possible,” Clarke said.

Injuries not serious in MVI

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

The RCMP, Williams Lake fire department and BC Ambulance service attended a two-vehicle MVI on Highway 20 Friday morning between an empty tractor trailer and a Dodge Ram pickup near the turnoff to the log yard of Tolko’s Lakeview Sawmill. Williams Lake RCMP Insp. Warren Brown said there is very little information other than police believe speed was a factor, according to witnesses. Police said injuries to both parties were not serious.

B.C. liquor laws up for review Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer British Columbians desire more convenience when it comes to purchasing liquor, said parliamentary secretary John Yap in Williams Lake Monday. “The number one question is when I go to the grocery store to pick up milk and bread, why can’t I pick up my favourite bottle of wine,” Yap said. People have also said repeatedly the rules governing the sale of liquor are archaic. For example, a Royal Canadian Legion member can take his grandchild to a hockey game where people are consuming alcohol, yet he cannot take his grandchild into a legion. Parents with infants

John Yap are suggesting they would like to be able to take their children with them if they are enjoying a licensed meal. Since the summer, Yap has been touring the province to meet with citizens. Or as he did Monday morning, blogging live with people about the liquor policy review. “We have had 43,000 visits to the website

from people staying on the site for at least eight minutes, and we have had 1,000 comments on the blog,” Yap said. And one of the things he likes about the website, is the fact that every single submission he’s received has been posted there. “We said we wanted to be transparent and open and want people to see what other people are telling us,” he said. Yap said whatever he recommends cannot result in less liquor sale revenue for government. At $1 billion in revenue, it’s an important revenue source, he said. Already Yap has met with dozens of stakeholders, ranging from business owners to health workers.

While in Williams Lake, he met with the RCMP and civic officials. “This a comprehensive review of liquor policy and one of the important stakeholders are local governments and public safety is a very important aspect,” he said. It’s a very interesting topic, Yap said. The last time the laws were comprehensively reviewed was in the 1990s. A report was submitted in 1999 and since then there have been some “piece meal” or “incremental” changes. “Our government was told to have a look at liquor policy,” Yap said. “Some of the rules in today’s world may seem antiquated.” To log in go to http:// engage.gov.bc.ca/liquorpolicyreview/.

Annual General Meeting

Resident advocates for blanket hunting ban Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Doug Hamm of Williams Lake doesn’t agree with the recent attempt by Yunesit’in (Stone) First Nations to ban the legal limited entry hunt for moose in the Chilcotin. Hamm, who has been a moose hunter for more than 40 years, said he’s angered by the two sets of hunting rules for First Nations and non-First Nations and blames the government for the situation. “We should all have to buy a hunting license, buy a tag, and adhere by the same rules,” Hamm said. “Do you know what would happen if you called and said you thought Doug Hamm shot a cow moose? Those guys would be up at my property, tearing my freezer apart ... I’d be hung out to dry.” Hamm prides himself on being an ethical and legal hunter and in fact believes a 100 per cent ban on moose hunting in the area is needed to

recover the population. “I love moose hunting, my whole family loves moose hunting, but there shouldn’t be any allowed in the Cariboo because we are virtually losing our moose in the Cariboo area.” This autumn, Hamm and his son obtained a three-week LEH for hunting area 5-14, Hamm’s first in 10 years. “That’s west of the Fraser to Alexis Creek and north to Quesnel, everything Meldrum Creek, Mackin Creek, Rudy’s bridge, Alexis Lakes, all that area,” Hamm said. “We drove all those miles, we quadded, walked and called. We did not find one, not even one old moose track in the dirt.” It was really, really disheartening, he said. “When I read in the Tribune about the blockades going to be on bridges for hunting units 5-3, 5-4, and 5-5, I know why they aren’t going to be blockading Rudy’s bridge, there’s no moose over there,” Hamm said.

Hamm said he has heard stories about hunting that make him angry. Out at Puntzi one December recently, Hamm said he saw ravens circling. He walked in

snow up to his knees off the road a few yards and found a whole cow moose that had been shot. The tongue and nose had been taken. The cow had not been gutted, and

there was no attempt to take a hind quarter. “Twenty miles later, ravens again, here was a good sized calf moose, same thing. Shot, tongue and nose taken, nothing else,” Hamm said.

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus

Costa Rica has priorities straight

Giving thanks for great fall season

osta Rica came to my attention via Gil McCall in a piece he wrote in the Senior’s Activity Centre’s May newsletter. Gil and his wife, Madge, were on a Caribbean cruise and he told of their stop at this “beautiful country.” Costa Rica has problems, including poor people and crime. But, eco-tourism is big in this middle-income democracy where 35 per cent of its land is protected in national parks, biological reserves, and wildlife refuges (the most in the world). French In 2011, it was Connection highlighted by Diana French United Nation Development Program for its good performance on environmental sustainability. The country has strict environmental laws and was the only country to meet all five criteria established to measure environmental sustainability. It ranked fifth in the world and first among the Americas in terms of the 2012 environmental performance index. Citizens enjoy much higher human development than other countries at the same income level. They have only three per cent illiteracy (there is no shortage of schools) and they are well looked after in the health and pensions departments (re: pensions, workers pay nine per cent of their salary, employers 14 per cent). Costa Rica’s universal healthcare system is ranked higher than that of the U.S., despite having a fraction of its GDP (medical tourism is another biggie). The other main industries are technology and agriculture. The New Economic Foundation (NEF) ranked Costa Rica first in its Happy Planet Index in 2009 and 2012. So how does a smallish country (compared to us) score so high on so many counts? Where does the money come from to pay for it all? Well, in 1949 Costa Rica permanently abolished its armed forces. The money saved by being peaceful goes to health and education and all that other stuff that benefits its citizens. I would say they have their priorities straight. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Our Viewpoint

LNG Summit a good first step This week’s B.C. First Nations LNG Summit was refreshing in that it was probably the first such summit that wasn’t a lovein. Quite often such meetings, that attract big resource players, high-ranking politicians, and stakeholders are genteel affairs where no one wants to really put anyone else on the spot. Not so with this summit. With the provincial government salivating over liquefied natural gas possibilities and the federal government pushing resource extraction as our savior, they need to hear voices from outside their political circles ... voices that are unafraid to say what needs to be said, regardless of who is in the room. Kudos to federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver and provincial Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister John Rustad for agreeing to take questions from the floor Wednesday. Hopefully they were listening. Comments were frank and heartfelt. “No one is speaking for Mother Earth,” said Salteau First Nations Chief Harley Davis to Oliver and Rustad. And he was right. Another issue pressed from the floor was what has been termed as “cumulative effects.” Rustad touted the provincial dream of five LNG plants in the northwest but what, really, is the impact of all that, combined with oil pipelines, mines, etc. We tend to look at projects as one-offs, but we should be looking at the effects of all of them.

There has been some movement there, however, as the province last week approved a $650,000 study to “look at the cumulative effects of existing and proposed industrial air emissions in the (Kitimat) airshed. These include emissions from: an existing aluminium smelter, three proposed LNG terminals, a proposed oil refinery, a crude-oil export facility, and gas-turbine-powered electrical generation facilities. The study will focus on sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide emissions from these facilities.” The ministers were also reminded that much of the proposed LNG development is occurring on un-ceded land. It was a point Assembly of First Nations Chief Jody Wilson-Raybould drove home. She stressed that the over-arching issue is that of land claims. The land issue comes first, not last. The comment of the day, though, went to Grand Chief Ed John who pointed out there is lots of talk about world-class standards for pipelines, world-class standards for oil tankers, world-class standards for environmental protection, which is all good. But the one that is missing is a world-class standard for indigenous rights. Kudos to Rustad and Oliver, Japanese Ambassador Norihiro Okuda, and other stakeholders for attending the summit. And kudos to the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council for hosting the summit and to B.C. First Nations for seeking to understand. - Prince George Free Press

any Cariboo-ites just celebrated Thanksgiving, the count-yourblessings weekend where heaven-only-knows how many thousands of turkeys met their demise in the endeavour to uphold tradition. We were very fortunate, attending two family dinners; turkey on one side, ham on the other. The end result: stuffed, just as full as the bird! The rest of the week may be spent in pursuit of a little extra exercise or simply in reconciling the extra portion of guilt (at over-eating, once again) whatever works best on an Cattle individual basis. Fodder Ranchers of the Cariboo should Liz Twan also give thanks for the glorious fall season thus far as we have been far more blessed than dozens of our western South Dakota counterparts who were lambasted by a freak fall snow storm whose blizzardlike characteristics wreaked havoc that resulted in incredible numbers of livestock fatalities. Early estimates on cattle fatalities were as high as 75,000 head, but with the melting snow and subsiding hysteria the predicted final-count has been adjusted to an estimate of 10,000 to 20,000 head. Local media are reporting herd losses of more than half on some outfits, while others lost only minimal fractions. In light of that, it’s fortunate that American Thanksgiving is celebrated at a much later date than the Canuck version as I am doubtful that any South Dakotan nailed by that freak storm could have summoned up much thankfullness, even had they drawn on Herculean strength in the effort to do so. *** Note: Beyond the Market is hosting an open house/info-session on Thursday October 24th from 4-6 p.m. at Community Futures (266 Oliver Street-Williams Lake). An economic development strategy (collaborative project with Community Futures) to support local food/agriculture sector across the BC Highway 16; they are looking for feedback as to whether the program should expand to the Cariboo.

MORE VIEWPOINTS

The sky is not falling Editor: There are some things that really attract my attention. One of those is my faith in my fellow human beings. With the talk of global warming having started only a few short years ago it is positively amazing how many things have been developed in these last few years that capitalize on naturally-occurring things — wind, water and solar energy. Creative industry can be found in all parts of the globe. Factories are developing solutions to problems that in my lifetime no one knew existed. Major automobile manufacturers are producing vehicles that, for one example — a Volkswagen diesel — uses three litres for every 100 kilometres. When I was young there was the talk of some Winnipeg inventor that invented a carbure-

tor that suggested amazing gas mileage. The part of the story I never bought was that there is no possible way a vehicle of, say, 50 to 60 years ago could ever achieve that kind of gas mileage with that day’s technology. We may curse the computer age but the technology used in today’s vehicles is the only way that these new cars are getting the fuel mileage that they do. The unseen electronic devices that control the air and fuel feed, coupled with exhaust tools such as turbos, slipperier lubricants, rolling resistant free tires and your new car can use as little as five or six litres to drive every 100 kilometres. In the Lower Mainland a firm working with Lafarge cement has developed a method of converting carbon from the air in to everyday usable chemical products.

That is what I believe is happening. Humanity has a way of finding solutions — few scientists are sitting on their haunches just watching the world go by. Globally mankind is a solution-oriented untamed force that is our children’s future. Our homes compared to my youth are unbelievable energy efficient in many months; I pay more for delivery costs and taxes to heat my home than I do for the fuel to heat it. People talk about green house gases; few world homes older than 60 years were insulated and required tons of energy to heat or cool them. Global warming may be being foisted upon us but look at the amazing things we are doing. I am sorry, Henny Penny. For me the sky is not falling. Doug Wilson Williams Lake

Everyone can help stop moose poaching in South Chilcotin Editor: On Oct. 9 I read the story in the Tribune/Advisor on the moose hunting ban in the South Chilcotin. Now I see Stone Chief Russell Myers Ross has advised his people to shoot only bull moose. A few years ago I had a friend

who was grading roads in the winter logging area. It was in to the moose winter feed grounds and before spring came all the moose there had been shot. Most had only the hind quarter gone. You have to know the cow moose would most likely have

calfs in the spring. What a waste and a slaughter. We all have to try to stop poaching. When I go hunting for buck deer only, I chase away all the moose I see.

During a recent stay in the Chilcotin a friend of ours experienced a heart attack. An emergency visit to the Tatla Lake Nursing Station (West Chilcotin Health Centre) was necessary. We would like to send a truckload of roses to the dedicated staff of the clinic — Dr. Mike Smialowsky, Yvette Sabo (registered nurse), Linda Gill (registered nurse), Janet Cammidge (clerk); volunteers Clay Hett, Dave Wright and Bill Burrows who packed patient to helicopter. Also thanks to Mike King of White Saddle Air for transporting the patient and medical team of Dr. Mike and nurse Yvette to Cariboo Memorial Hospital. Thanks to the Williams Lake team who stabilized the patient for transfer to Kelowna Heart Centre. Because of this fine facility a life was saved that day.

Marie Hardy *** I would like to send a huge bouquet of roses to the carpenter in Alexis Creek and also to the nurse at the nursing station for building a beautiful fence in the front yard of the nursing station. Well done. It looks great! Neil Miller Alexis Creek *** I would like to give many huge bouquets of flowers to all the people who were involved in rescuing me Aug. 31 near Big Lake after my major road bike accident. Thank you to the good samaritans for stopping and going to get help, the people who stayed with me until help arrived. The Big Lake rescue team for getting there so fast. The ambulance ladies and all the hospital staff that

Williams Lake Stampeder Kenneth Schmidt wheels up-ice, clearing a puck from in front of goaltender Justin Foote during a meeting with the Terrace River Kings over the weekend. Williams Lake lost 3-0 Saturday before coming back to win 7-5 Sunday.

Stamps split set with River Kings Greg Sabatino Staff Writer A short-sided Williams Lake Stampeders squad split a pair of weekend games on the road against the Terrace River Kings. With just 15 skaters due to the Thanksgiving holiday Williams Lake fell 3-0 Saturday, before bouncing back to a 7-5 turkey day victory over the River Kings. In Saturday’s contest the River Kings’ Parker Sheers lit the lamp first, beating Williams Lake netminder Justin Foote 5:41 into the first frame.

Josh Murray notched an unassisted marker in the second for the River Kings, before David Redpath added an empty net goal in the third period to ice the win. Between the pipes Garrett Muir turned aside all 30 shots for the shutout. Sunday, the defending Coy Cup Stampeders found themselves, again, down 1-0 after one period with Chris Brown scoring the lone goal of the frame at the 18:46 mark. In the second period a trio of power play goals from Taylor Stuart (2-0-2), Walter Schmidt (1-1-2)

SPORTS Lakecity archers take to world stage Two Williams Lake archers fired impressive results at the 2013 World 3D Archery Championships in Sassari, Italy earlier this month. Fred Streleoff and Al Campsall, both members of the local Cariboo Archers, represented Team Canada at the event after finishing first in their respective classes at the Canadian 3D Archery Championships Aug. 2-10 in Woodstock, NB. Streleoff, competing in his first world cham-

pionships, finished fifth overall — narrowly missing the podium — in the Instinctive Recurve category. Campsall, at his second world championships, finished 30th in the competitive Compound category — one place better than his last result at the world championships two years ago in Austria. Campsall is a 10time Canadian national champion in his event, while Streleoff, this year, picked up his second national title at the competition.

Bantam T-wolves improve to 7-0 to start season The Williams Lake Bantam Rep Timberwolves went unbeaten on the weekend, taking a two-game set from Vanderhoof at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

In the first game Friday night the T-wolves overcame a sluggish start and ended up with a 5-1 win. Scoring was spread across the team evenly with Dylan Derose in net for the win.

www.wltribune.com A15

On Saturday morning the T-wolves came out fast, skating to a lopsided 9-1 victory. Daine DuBois recorded a hat trick and added an assist for a four-point perfor-

mance, while William Paynton — with two goals and two assists — helped lead the way for the T-wolves. Hayden Lyons was solid in net for the win. The T-wolves are

now a perfect 7-0 to start the season and head to Quesnel this weekend for a nineteam tournament. Complete game stats are available at www. wlmha.com.

Nature Centre pot-luck supper

Gaeil Farrar photo

Burgess partners Ed Kozuki (president), Frank Burgess (retired founder) with their wives Midori and Norma in the company’s new showroom featuring various plumbing fixtures, barbecues and fire place units along with all the other fixtures that go along with the business.

Burgess celebrates 60 years in lakecity Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Burgess Plumbing, Heating and Electrical Company Ltd. has grown with the community for 60 years now and plans to be here for a good long time to come. “I think it is very nice what we have done and I hope we can keep this business going long after I’m gone,” says Frank Burgess, who started the company in 1953 with his wife Norma. Frank says he was originally thinking of starting a plumbing business further north but is glad he chose Williams Lake instead. “This city has been very good to us,” Frank says. “I was going to go to Smithers but I picked the right place. It is much better here than in Smithers.” Company president Ed Kozuki joined the staff in the early 1960s as a labourer, earned his electrical certification with the company, graduated to metal work, and became a partner in the mid-1970s. He is also happy that Frank chose Williams Lake. “We’re here and planning on staying,” Ed says. “It’s really about being part of the community and the growth and maturity of the company. We have been growing with the community since 1953.” Now that Frank is retired, he

says the Burgess daughters Bonnie Griffith and Wendy Johansen are carrying on the family business. Bonnie is the manager coordinating large and small contract projects. Wendy is the administrator in charge of financial operations. Division managers include retail store manager Rick Reissner; refrigeration and project co-ordinator Darryl Lane; electrical division manager Chuck See; service department manager Sue Fiss; and fire protection manager Ian Sopp. Ed says several long-time employees are being considered for partnership to ensure the future of the company and its service to the community. “Some of our employees have expressed interest in portionable ownership which is part of our sustainability plan,” Ed says. “We plan to be around a long time. A lot of our strength is in the knowledge that when we do a project for someone we will be here to service and support that project.” “Work we do lasts a long time but eventually things wear out and need servicing and we work hard every day to build the assurance and trust of our customers.” Burgess has grown steadily over the years as demand for service increased. From plumbing,

service grew to include heating, electrical, and refrigeration services. Today Burgess has a second smaller outlet in 100 Mile House and a steady staff of 40 to 45 employees depending on the season and projects on the go. He says Williams Lake and 100 Mile House are their main service areas but on occasion they take on projects further north. The refrigeration division is called Interior Refrigeration and primarily looks after maintaining and servicing grocery store refrigeration units. Ed says Burgess also has a fire safety division which focuses on repairing and servicing fire extinguishers and fire suppression equipment. He says most people don’t realize that fire suppression equipment is an integral part of industrial equipment in industries such as logging and commercial kitchens. Walking into the Williams Lake Burgess retail store these days one is struck by the impressive displays – wood stoves, modern bathroom and kitchen fixtures, lighting fixtures, and rows and rows of widgets and whatnots used in the plumbing, heating and electrical industries. In all of their endeavours Ed says Burgess strives to deliver top

notch service and support to customers, which above and beyond that includes being personable, neat, keeping a clean site, answering customers’ questions, and following up to make sure things are working properly. “Quality of service is very important to us,” Ed says. “If you have a warrantee problem you address it.” “We like to refine what we are doing by being the kind of business that recognizes and welcomes people and makes sure they have quality service and support.” Ed says it has been quite rewarding to see the second and third generations of families he was first involved in helping, now coming to them with their own needs. “I’ve been in a fortunate position to see that. That’s really quite rewarding,” Ed says. “Together we have created a place that is part of all of our lives and our families’ lives,” Ed says. “We are a family of all our people.” In celebration of their 60th anniversary Burgess Plumbing Heating and Electrical is hosting a customer appreciation barbecue and open house this Friday, Oct. 18 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at their business at 36 Broadway Ave. North.

The Williams Lake Field Naturalists will hold their fall social and pot-luck supper on Friday, Oct. 18 starting at 6 p.m. at the Scout Island Nature Centre. Members and non-members are welcome to attend. Bring a dish to share and be ready to enjoy good conversation and a short armchair trip to Spain. Following the dinner new members Paula Laita and Jon Gaztelumendi from the Basque Country in Northern Spain will share some of their experiences in a presentation called Transport to Spain: A Paradise for Birders and Wildlife Enthusiasts.

vourite highlight of the trip was participating in a ceremonial lighting of a campfire followed by singing, folk dancing, square dancing, fireworks and sparklers. “It was truly magical!” they said. The remainder of their visit was spent in Kyoto enjoying a festival and parade and touring many historic temples, shrines and beautiful gardens. One day was spent in Nara and the giant Buddha was much admired. Back home in Williams Lake, Anne and Betz commented: “We found the Japanese to be extremely gracious and hospitable and they were constantly taking our picture, giving us gifts and buying our meals. They also stopped to help if we looked lost, which was a good thing because

In early July, Betz Ratch, an experienced square dancer, and Anne Christie, who had just completed her first season with the Williams Lake Square Dance Club, were invited to attend a square dance jamboree in Japan. They were met at the Narita airport by Betz’s friend Kazuto who took them to the Shimura Square Dance Party in Tokyo the next day. At this dance the callers were all Japanese and although square dance calls are always in English throughout the world, some were much easier to understand than others. After the dance there was a fun evening at an Izakaya (Japanese pub-style eatery) where all sat on the floor on tatami mats and sampled many new foods including lotus root and skate fin. After touring Tokyo, Anne and Betz travelled to Nakano and stayed with Kazuto and family. His house has been the ancestral family home for 160 years and is a traditional style with a thick thatched roof. Anne and Betz enjoyed seeing the snow monkeys cavorting in hot springs and Matsumoto Castle. Returning to the dance scene, Anne and Betz attended the 35th Nagano Apple Squares Shiga Summer Jamboree. It was north of Nagano, the

Support for museum agm encouraged The Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin is back on winter hours but certainly not slow on activity after a busy summer. School museum tours started up again in September and the museum is already planning for its annual Cowboy Christmas and Christmas tea, says museum president Sheila Wyse in her fall newsletter. Museum hours from Sept. 1 to May 31 are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays Wyse says the museum was busy over the summer with visitors from around B.C., Canada, and many parts of Europe. “I always enjoy reading through the guest book and seeing that our museum has been part of the holidays for so many people,” Wyse

says. The museum’s annual general meeting is coming up Monday, Nov. 4 starting at 2 p.m. in the museum. The meeting includes reports on the year’s activities and the election of directors. Wyse encourages all members and those interested in joining the society to attend the meeting. She says it is important to have a good turnout at the agm as grant organizations will only continue to support the museum if there is support from the community. “All positions on the museum board are up for election at the agm,” Wyse says. “If you are interested in joining our board and would like more information about the commitment please feel free to contact me by

email at: wyse@shaw. ca or call me at home at 250-392-7215. On Nov. 16 the museum will be back in the Gibraltar Room for its popular annual Cowboy Trade and Craft Fair, including the entertaining afternoon Open Mic. “In the evening join us for the Cowboy Christmas Concert,” Wyse says. “This year we welcome entertainers Ed Peekeekoot, our own Frank Gleeson, and cowboy singer Ed Wahl. Tickets are available at the museum and will be sold during the afternoon of the craft fair as well. The popular Christmas Tea and Bake Sale takes place Saturday, Dec. 7. “We’ll be asking for your support again for the bake sale table,” Wyse says. “The lunch

is very well-attended and many people buy their Christmas baking at the sale. 108 Hills Health Ranch has donated two nights at the resort plus a $125 voucher for use in their restaurant as the prize for the museum’s fundraising raffle. Raffle tickets are available at the museum and will be sold also at the Christmas Craft Fair and Concert and at the Christmas Tea. The draw will be

Dec. 7 at the tea. In other news Wyse and museum director Ruth Walters hosted a table at the Cariboo Welcome Fair held at TRU on Saturday, Sept. 28. Wyse says many visitors stopped by the table to learn more about the museum, purchase a raffle ticket, and pick up our brochures. Also, Marjorie Schuk won the museum’s door prize for Art Walk 2013.
