Elders and youth proud to be part of journey Continued From Page A1 Some of the elders who testified then are making the journey this time. Others are along in spirit because they have passed on, Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah Valley) Roger William said. Redstone elder Minnie Charleyboy, 75, who spent most of her life at Eagle Lake in Xeni Gwet’in traditional territory testified last time around and is making the trip to Ottawa. Translating for her mom, School District 27 Chair Joyce Cooper said Charleyboy was raised by her grandmother Sandra English. “Her grandma taught her our history, our legends and genealogy,” Cooper said. Charleyboy learned who was related to who and her family history going back before the Tsilhqot’in War of 1864.

Chief Ann Louie (left), Chief Bev Sellars, Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook, Chief Joe Alphonse and Chief Roger William speak to a large crowd before the bus departure of the Indigenous Land Title Express Wednesday. Today Charleyboy continues her traditions. She gathers berries and medicinal plants, hunts, fishes and still rides horses into the mountains. “Her uncle had lots of horses and he helped raise her too,” Cooper said of her mom. Anticipating the
trip, Charleyboy said she is proud. She isn’t a stranger to Ottawa though. Her husband, the late Patrick Charleyboy, was chief of Redstone for eight years. “We grew up in a very political home,” Cooper said. “We get it from our mom,” she
chuckled. Anaham elder Christine Cooper, 83, was the only child in her family who never went to school. She grew up working hard, she said. “I hunted, trapped, fished, hayed and raked, often using horse-drawn ma-
chines.” Those are memories she shared when she testified. For Delia William, 68, the trip to Ottawa is her first beyond the B.C. border. Her husband, Joseph, testified at the original case, but his health is bad, so William said she is rep-

During a stay in hospital, your medications may be changed and some older medications may be stopped. It’s important to be sure to not take these medications when you get home. Part of our job as your pharmacist is to be a final check to ensure this transition from hospital to home occurs smoothly. Many admissions to hospital are due to a medication problem...not taking them properly, taking too much or too little or due to a drug interaction. Having a complete record of your medications helps us to ensure you’re taking your medications correctly and safely. A vasectomy is still one of the best birth control methods. A minor operation using a local anaesthetic, it involves severing the tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the penis. The operation doesn’t result in immediate sterility so alternate birth control methods should still be used. No sexual difficulties result from the operation however it doesn’t protect against sexually-transmitted diseases. We’ve mentioned the “polypill” in this column in the past. It’s a drug delivery system that combines 4 drugs in one pill for patients with heart disease. The pill contains ASA, a cholesterol-lowering drug and one or two blood pressurelowering drugs. It’s a way of ensuring the patient gets all the medication needed to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Not on the market yet, but perhaps soon. Understanding how a drug works and its importance to your health will help you remember to take them correctly. We can help.

Standing next to Alphonse, Mayor Kerry Cook said despite differences in opinions, there are common concerns. “As people, as parents, as neighbours, as partners, we care about our future, we care about our children and we want the best for our people,” Cook said. “I look around the crowd and I see a number of chiefs who I respect and I see that despite the challenges and differences today gives me hope.” The bus travelled to Calgary Wednesday, and will stop in every province and arrive in Ottawa by Nov. 5 for several events leading up to the day in court.

Missing Prince George girl found
Photo submitted
Cora Gilbert located and is safe and sound.
The RCMP and the family of a Prince George woman who was missing since Sunday are happy to report that she is safe. On Thursday, the Prince George RCMP confirmed that 18-yearold Cora Gilbert, who was reported missing earlier in the week, was safe in Prince George. “Investigators would like to thank those members of the public that provided information,” Corp. Craig Douglass, communications media liaison officer
said. On Wednesday, the RCMP sent out a press release asking for the public’s assistance in locating Gilbert. She had last been seen in Prince George on Saturday, Oct. 26, just after 9 p.m. at the 7-Eleven on 20th Avenue in Prince George. Gilbert, a First Nations woman, presently lives in Prince George, but is originally from Bella Coola. She has friends throughout northern B.C. including the com-
Truck slams into house on Third Avenue Williams Lake RCMP attended a single motor vehicle incident on Third Avenue North just before 10 p.m. Monday evening. The investigation has determined that a pickup truck was travelling west on Midnight Avenue at a high rate of speed, turned into Third Avenue and lost control, Insp.
Warren Brown said. “It struck a parked vehicle in the driveway at a residence pushing that vehicle into the house.” Substantial damage was done to both vehicles and the house. The driver was taken to the hospital for minor injuries. Brown said alcohol is believed to be a con-
tributing factor and the investigation is continuing. Nobody in the house was injured. Beaver Valley Feeds break in On Oct. 27 Williams Lake RCMP responded to a break and enter at Beaver Valley Feeds on Mackenzie Avenue South. The break-
in occurred overnight and some items including tack were stolen. Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211 or call Crimestoppers at 1-888-8477. Crimestoppers also subscribes to web tips at www. crimestoppers.ca.
Time change can affect driving As we get ready to set our clocks back an hour this Saturday night for the end of Daylight Savings Time, ICBC is asking drivers to take extra care on the roads as the time change can affect us all in different ways. ICBC statistics show there is a 16 per cent increase in the average number of crashes in B.C. during the late afternoon commute in the two weeks following the end of Daylight Savings Time compared to the two weeks prior
to the change. The biggest impacts can be felt on some of the key skills that affect the quality of our driving – concentration, alertness behind the wheel and reaction time to potential hazards. “Safety is our top priority, which is why we’re asking drivers to recognize that the effect of the time change combined with increasingly challenging road conditions can increase your chances of being in a crash,” said Todd Stone, Minister of Transporta-
tion and Infrastructure. “Make sure you’re well rested, give yourself plenty of time and focus your full attention on the road.” “Getting enough

FAWN’S HEAR CLEAR HEARING SOLUTIONS When it comes to helping people live their lives to the fullest, or work safely with leading edge hearing protection, Fawn Povelofskie at Fawn’s Hear Clear Hearing Solutions believes she has one of the best jobs in the world. “Years ago when I was apprenticing as a hearing aid practitioner, I met a client who had suffered from increasing hearing loss over many years. After I fit him with hearing aids, and he was able to hear what he was missing, he realized how much hearing damage he actually had and began to cry because he was so thankful for what I was able to do for him. That’s when I knew I was in the right profession for me.” said Povelofskie. The clinic is open to everyone in that you do
not need a referral to see her. Doctors are able to refer patients with hearing challenges to her, but it’s not necessary. Many people tend to neglect the fact they should have their hearing tested regularly, usually every two years. However for people with conditions like tinnitus, hearing ability should be maintained yearly. She opened her clinic in May of 2012 in the heart of downtown on Second Avenue and hasn’t looked back since. Her clinic offers not only hearing aid sales and servicing but also full hearing evaluation and testing. In addition they are also able to do qualitative fit testing for all kinds of masks for industry including dust, welding, nursing and others. “It’s important that any kind of personal protection you use fits properly. That’s where I come in for masks and hearing protection. Worksafe BC likes me.” As well, customers are also able to get
custom ear plugs for industry, sleeping aid and musicians including Bluetooth hearing accessories. It’s her selection and service that sets her apart from competitors. Povelofskie was able to open her clinic after she took the Self Employment Program offered through Community Futures in the spring of 2012. “I learned so much about the proper ways to run a business, and realized there is so much that I didn’t know. I never would have been able to get started without everything I learned through that program. I felt prepared.” Fawn’s Hear Clear Hearing Solutions is located at #77B 2nd Avenue North and is comfortable, modern, professional and wheelchair accessible. For more information about Hear Clear phone 778-412-2223 or email HearClear@shaw.ca.

Proposed Johnson Street route continues to raise concerns Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Public input from a forum held Monday evening will help city council choose an option next month for proposed highway improvements. “We were pleased to have such a good turnout, and to have the opportunity to have residents’ thoughtful questions answered,” Mayor Kerry Cook said in a press release Thursday. “Council will receive a report incorporating the discussions from the forum, and will choose an option at a council meeting in November,” Cook said. Residents living in and around Johnson Street and McKinnon Road continue to voice opposition about the proposed intersection option on Highway 97 that would direct traffic from a signalled intersection at Toop Road, down McKinnon Road to access Carson, and also John-

Pene Fait told staff she has lived on Johnson Street three doors down from the corner of Johnson Street and Western Avenue since 1974. “I’ve seen many traffic changes and many different vehicles driving up and down the

to the table with many more questions than answers,” Fait said. Sheldon Meyers has lived on Johnson Street for 30 years and said whether the stats show it or not, Johnson Street is already an arterial route from the downtown core to the residential areas. “We talk about safety and looking 25 years in the future,” Meyers said. “Johnson Street and Western has one of the worst intersections in the city.” He has witnessed on average three nearmisses every year, he added. “Johnson Street has several breaks in slope, just as you crest Johnson and Western there is quite a massive change in slope that hides kids, hides animals, Meyers said. With the reconfiguration of schools, Meyers said he has seen a remarkable increase in foot traffic along Western and at the intersection of Johnson and Western.

An access wall can create a great focal point; try a colour such as a rust red!

Published by Black Press 188 N. 1st Avenue Williams Lake BC, V2G 1Y8
Is Yap listening? Why is it that B.C., regardless of what party is in power, seems to love social engineering. With a three-month consultation period ending, RichmondSteveston MLA John Yap said Tuesday about 80 per cent of respondents want the extra convenience that is routine in U.S. grocery stores — people in B.C. clearly want to be able to buy their beer, wine and liquor in the same place they buy their groceries, something that’s commonplace in many jurisdictions in North America. Yap, according to reports from Black Press, says he has heard that message loud and clear. Considering the spin he’s now putting on the results, we suggest he hasn’t heard the message loudly or clearly. Yap is proposing a “store within a store” model with separate staff for alcohol purchases. It’s like the supposed free enterprise, less government, lessred-tape B.C. Liberals believes it needs to protect us from ourselves. Despite a clear message to the contrary, the B.C. Liberals want to hold on to some control and make things more difficult for consumers and businesses alike. Alcohol use has its inherent
dangers. It can destroy families. But there is no evidence to suggest alcohol-related tragedies are more prevalent in jurisdictions that allow a more logical, consumerfriendly way to purchase a bottle of wine or a case of beer. If grocery-store owners don’t want the hassle, or don’t see profit large enough to go along with any aggravation caused by liquor sales, that’s fair — they should have the choice to sell what they please. But we are not hearing that, either. Perhaps Yap believes this is such a big shift for the great unwashed that it has to be introduced in phases. Again, that’s social engineering and we take offence to being parented by politicians. We suspect it’s all about money. Or relationships with unions. Perhaps the B.C. Liberals believe the model Yap suggests will allow them to hold on to more of the money they get from liquor sales. Or perhaps they don’t want to engage in the fight that’s surely to emerge if every governmentowned and union-staffed liquor store is closed. If that is the case, then say it. We can take the truth. - Parksville Qualicum Beach News

Forget the fact that gruesome customs behind Halloween have been thinly baptized into some Christian churches. Forget that pirate costumes used to be the nastiest in the neighbourhood. Neglect to mourn the funds spent on single-use costumes. Overlook dates that delight dentists, and wistfully recall the days when safety escorts were not needed. Moms still fill their cupboards with lunchbox treats that last for months, and kids continue to tussle over who’s been eating what out of whose pillowcase!

man for a city hospital, so it was no challenge for him to set up a locally famous scene on his front porch. The rocking chair creaked mechanically “by itself,” while ghoulish noises emanated from a record player beneath the ghastly, ghostly character.
No one would miss Grandpa’s porch if they could help it! This went on for years, until Grandpa finally tired of it, and a fresh idea took hold. That particular year he replaced the lanky ghost with his tall, skinny self and waited for the porch to fill with fairies, lumberjacks, princesses, cowboys and Disney critters. When the porch was full, he slowly got up from the chair, and with his deeper-than-deep voice began a haunting narrative just behind the best costumes in Los Angeles. Screaming in delicious terror, the kids fled the porch, scattering the sweet remains of candy corn, lollipops, Double Bubble, clove gum, wax lips, lemon drops, and Necco wafers for blocks. A few minutes later the bravest
of them returned to investigate, collecting the debris along the way. Halloween has always been scary! But what scares me now as I open the door, is the preponderance of death, blood, vampires, zombies and fork-tailed-nasties stalking the neighbourhood. It’s tough enough already to teach kindness, self-control and altruism! And sadly, tarts aren’t just pies anymore. There are many objections to Halloween, but few that reach out toward sense. If modelling death-culture is a good thing, why not search the Internet now for a hot new look for Halloween — a “blood facial?” Or add a gory smartphone burn to where our pockets should be? However, if “by beholding we become changed,” might it even be
true that how we amuse ourselves impacts behaviour? Can we really give a little boy a sword and expect him not to try posturing and fighting? Perhaps it is the adults, not the children, who have departed reality for a netherworld where thought is absent. I’d love to scatter the final ashes of this un-hallowed ‘holy’-day. Can we sweeten our play by having kids pretend something good? I still recall Lucy’s costume — a simple yellow sheet, sewn into an angel shape, with a necklace of carrots — seven in the front, and seven in the back. And while we puzzled ... her father knew Lucy was 14-carat gold. LOL@wltribune.com. Rita Corbett is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Advisor.

Perils of an ‘entitlement state’ Too little knowledge, too much emotion about how taxes work With the B.C. and federal governments once again struggling to climb out of deep operating deficits, it’s a good time for the release of Mark Milke’s book “Tax Me, I’m Canadian.” An update of the same title published 12 years ago, the book retains the history of taxes in Canada, detailing how Canada’s tax system was initially built to mimic the United States system in the late 19th century. Beyond the history, it is mostly new material. Included are chapters on the global meltdown of 2009, the surge of pension liabilities as the baby boomers retire and the flawed logic behind the “Occupy” and “Idle No More” protests. Some readers will immediately note that Milke works for the Fraser Institute and was previously B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. But the book is not just an argument for cutting taxes. It also dismantles persistent myths that income taxes are illegal, and launches a broadside on what Milke calls “Canada’s corporate welfare carnival.” Many people will be able to identify some top names in the government subsidy game: Bombardier, General Motors, even poor old Rolls Royce Canada. Some will also be well aware that our supposedly tight-fisted Conservative federal government has continued to pour out “regional development” and other funds to every

part of the country. But I did not know that Industry Canada grants were handed out to pizza parlours (including the remote pizzastarved village of Kamloops), or to help open gas stations or convenience stores in Kelowna, Vernon and Chilliwack. Milke makes a useful point for B.C. about royalty rates for timber, natural gas and other resources. They are resource rents, and if they are too high the tenants will move out. Reducing them isn’t a subsidy, especially if it leads to big revenue gains as B.C.’s unconventional shale gas incentives have done. On the Occupy movement: The infamous “one per cent,” who in Canada earn $250,000 a year or more, earned 10 per cent of all income and paid 20 per cent of all taxes in 2010. The bottom 73 per cent of tax filers paid just 17 per cent of all taxes. About a third paid no tax at all. On Idle No More: When Attawapiskat Chief Teresa Spence
played to the Ottawa media with her soup strike, former Liberal leader Bob Rae suggested a nearby diamond mine should share more revenue. Milke omits the substantial support and employment that mine provides, and glosses over the misguided blockades that disrupted that and other jobcreating enterprises. But he does detail the disastrous effects of passive resource wealth bestowed on impoverished aboriginal communities, and contrasts it with the success stories of reserves that build their own enterprises through hard work.
On public sector pensions: Milke notes that historically, public employees traded higher wages for better benefits and job security. Now their wages are generally higher, and taxpayers have to cover their personal pension contributions (as a portion of those wages) as well as the employer contributions, plus the “defined benefit” payout, which has to be subsidized far beyond what the pension fund can support. On the debt-financed welfare state, there are memorable observations, like this one: “For the record, the generous Que-
bec welfare state and its ostensibly more progressive model are paid for in part with the taxes of other Canadians; Quebec is merely the North American equivalent of Greece.” The recent B.C. political crisis over adoption of the harmonized sales tax showed that there is too much emotion and too little knowledge about how taxes work. This book is a step towards addressing that. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews.com. Twitter:@tomfletcherbc E-mail: tfletcher@blackpress.
The soldier, not the reporter, gave us freedom of the press The Royal Canadian Legion Poppy campaign is now underway in Canada. A time to remember that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. Here is a piece I found some years ago and with Remembrance Day on Nov. 11, I thought this would be appropriate. The Final Inspection The soldier stood and faced God, which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining, just as brightly as his brass. “Step forward now, you soldier,
The soldier squared his shoulders and said, “No Lord, I guess I ain’t. Because those of us who carry guns, can’t always be a saint.
Contemplating Ken
with Ken Wilson
how shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true?”
I’ve had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was tough. And sometimes I’ve been violent, because the world is awfully rough. But, I never took a penny, that wasn’t mine to keep ... Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got just too steep. And I never passed a cry for
help. though at time I shook with fear. And sometimes, God, forgive me. I’ve wept unmanly tears. I know I don’t deserve a place, among the people here. They never wanted me around, except to calm their fears. If you’ve a place for me here, Lord, it needn’t be so grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don’t, I’ll understand. There was a silence all around the throne, where the saints had often trod.
As the Soldier waited quietly, for the judgement of his God. “Step forward now, you soldier, you’ve borne your burdens well. Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets, you’ve done your time in Hell.” Poppies are available throughout the community at various businesses. Wear one in Remembrance of those who gave their lives for us. Look in this paper for information regarding the ceremonies in Williams Lake on the 11th of November.

SPCA manager Liz Dighton (left) accepts $150 in gift certificates from SaveOn-Foods manager Mark Law.
Donations help SPCA with the extras SPCA manager Liz Dighton gratefully accepted $150 in gift certificates recently from Save-On-Foods manager Mark Law. Such donated funds are used by the SPCA to buy cleaning supplies and products recommended by veterinarians in emergency care situations. For instance, Dighton says cabbage makes a good poultice to ease mastitis in a mother cat, while pumpkin will clear up diarrhea. A combination of canned milk and syrup
is used to build up the health of a kitten that may have been weaned too soon. In another instance she says they recently had a cat come in that had landed in a batch of paint. Many baths and washing with olive oil helped remove the paint. Fittingly Dighton says the cat has been named Van Gogh. “It just covers all those extras immediately when you need them,” Dighton says of the gift certificates. She says the SPCA is
full right now with lots of cats and kittens, and a few puppies up for adoption. Even if there isn’t room at the SPCA right away for a found animal, Dighton encourages people who have lost or found an animal to contact them. She says some people have looked for days and longer for a lost animal which has already been turned into the SPCA, or is in the care of someone who has notified the SPCA that they have the animal.

Mothers challenge students Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The mother of a Williams Lake 20-year-old killed by an alleged drunk driver told Lake City Secondary students Tuesday they have a huge amount of power when it comes to stopping impaired driving. On April 22, 2012 Andrea MacDonald’s daughter, Rayel, was killed in Williams Lake while walking across Carson Avenue with a group of friends after the Indoor Rodeo dance. “You guys can move mountains,” MacDonald said. “If someone had stepped in that night, if someone had said you’ve had too much to drink and taken the keys away from a drunk driver, Rayel would still be with us today.” MacDonald encouraged the students to become heroes by stopping people from drinking and driving. “You will be saving someone and a family from heartache and making the move to a better world where people aren’t killed by drinking and driving.” Rayel was in Williams Lake in the nursing program at TRU.
Horoscope Don’t race ahead to get the early advantage this week, Aries. Practice patience in all that you do this week, and you may find greater success. Taurus, there is a high level of uncertainty in your life right now, so it is best to take a conservative approach regarding your finances. Take big decisions seriously.

She played rugby and soccer, was involved with Big Brothers and Big Sisters and helped coach the girls rugby team, MacDonald said. “Rayel’s life was a blessing and I encourage you to honour her memory by helping to prevent a similar incident in the future,” MacDonald said of her daughter’s death. MADD’s Western Canadian represen-
tative Jamie Fisher has been travelling through the Western provinces to host school assemblies and show MADD’s 2013 school assembly video Smashed. Smashed tells the story of three people who were killed or permanently injured because of impaired driving. After the video, Fisher told the students when he was 22
years old his mother was killed by an impaired driver. It was her birthday, he’d bought her a bouquet of flowers, she never arrived home to see them. “It never gets any easier,” he said. Every day in Canada, four people are killed by impaired drivers and 175 are injured, Fisher said. “That means every single day four fami-
lies, like mine, have to say goodbye to someone they love.” Fisher challenged the students to commit to saying “no” to impaired driving every single day of their lives. MADD Williams Lake Chapter president Pam Herman said in someways she would like the organization to be called People Against Drunk Driving.

Marijuana petition off target Pot reformers fell short of their sign-up target for the first third of their campaign to force a provincial referendum on marijuana enforcement. Sensible BC spokesman Dana Larsen said the campaign had 65,000 signatures as of Oct. 9 – 15,000 less than their aim of 80,000 by the 30-day mark of the 90-day petition drive. “We’re a little bit be-
hind the target we set,” Larsen said, adding getting canvassers officially registered has proven more onerous than expected. But he remains confident the campaign can succeed in getting the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in every B.C. district. That would take 300,000 signatures in total, but Larsen said the aim is for 450,000 or 15 per cent in each riding to provide a buffer against signa-
tures that are declared invalid. The campaign aims to pass legislation that would bar police from spending any time or resources enforcing the federal law against possessing small amounts of marijuana. Its goal is to use that as a starting point to work towards broader legalization. Defeat in any single district means the petition campaign fails. And even if it succeeds, a referendum

including Surrey and Coquitlam, have proven more challenging. “Surrey is a bit of an issue. It’s a lot of districts in one city and a lot of people that we need.” Canvassers from Vancouver will be sent to those areas as Vancouver ridings wrap up, Larsen said. So far, Sensible BC has 3,000 canvassers registered, up from 1,600 when they launched. Larsen expects the canvasser count will grow to 4,000 by the early December deadline, but that would be well short of Fight HST’s 6,500 canvassers.

is not automatic – the Legislature could introduce the proposed Sensible Policing Act but not put it to a vote. If it was sent to another referendum it could be non-binding – the HST referendum after a successful Fight HST petition was binding only because Premier Gordon Campbell declared it so. Fight HST also had many more signatures at the 30-day mark – more than 300,000 – and eventually got 705,000. “They got a lot more than they actually needed,” Larsen said. “They could have done it with less.” Larsen said canvassers have already got nearly enough signatures in Vancouver districts like the West End and along False Creek.

Blood Sports (2006). Robinson has been nominated for both the Giller Prize for excellence in Cana-
dian Fiction, and the Governor General’s Award. Her first book, Traplines, was a collection of four short stories while her second book, Monkey Beach, was a novel. It is set in the Kitamat area and follows a teenaged girl’s search for answers and understanding of her younger brother’s disappearance at sea. This retrospective tale tells a story about
growing up on a Haisla Reserve. The book is both a mystery and a spiritual journey, combining contemporary realism with Haisla mysticism. Monkey Beach was short-listed for the Giller Prize and the Governor General’s Literary Award, and received the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize. In her third book, Blood Sports (2006), Eden Robinson returns to the characters
and urban terrain of her novella Contact Sports from Traplines. Reviewers praise Robinson’s unflinching and compelling exploration of the darkest impulses of humanity. Currently, Robinson is the writer-in-residence at the University of Northern B.C. in Prince George.

LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor The Williams Lake Pipe Band’s fourth annual Celtic Ceilidh has attracted interest and support from artists who have donated unique and beautiful pieces for the event’s silent auction. One of these artists is local potter Joan Beck, who says that she enjoys attending Celtic events, including the annual pipe band ceilidh and Robbie Burns celebrations at the Legion. She said that the ceilidh, coming up on Saturday, Nov. 2 at Elks Hall, is a great way to catch up with friends, enjoy a traditional Scottish dinner and hear some great music. “These events bring out people who are interested in Scottish culture — the whole thing is fun,” she said. “We like the
music, the dancing and food and we like to support the pipe band.” The ceilidh will include performances by the Williams Lake Pipe Band and the Cariboo Men’s Choir, as well as Scottish dance presentations, fiddling and a ‘small pipes’ ensemble. There will be a Scottish dinner with roast beef and haggis, side dishes and delicacies. Another artist who has generously donated to the ceilidh is bagpiper Katherine McManus from Aurora, Ontario. She does water colour painting, stained glass, pottery and stone carving and her works have been sold in England, Germany, China and across Canada and the U.S. A B.C. soapstone loon carved by McManus has arrived in Williams Lake as a contribution to the

Williams Lake Pipe Band Celtic Ceilidh silent auction. She said that one of her Facebook friends who shares a love for piping is Williams Lake piper John Visentin. “Last January my band ran a silent auction for the first time at our Robbie Burns night. I was in charge of the silent auction and gathering donations and donated one of my pieces. The silent auction was very successful,” she explained. “When John told me about the Williams Lake Pipe Band’s event and asked me about donating a piece, I thought of my own band, and my own experience with the silent auction, and told him I’d be happy to do that.” She said that not all communities, especially small ones, have
a pipe band and that Williams Lake is very lucky that they do. “Pipe bands are a very important part of all communities, playing at community events, memorial services, parades, parties. Imagine a parade without a pipe band, or a Remembrance Day service without a piper or a pipe band. Something would definitely be missing,” she said. “When the community is involved and supports the band, the pipe band does more than exist — it will continue to grow and to thrive.” The Williams Lake Pipe Band Celtic Ceilidh will take place on Saturday, Nov. 2 at Elks Hall, with dinner at 6 p.m. and entertainment to follow. Tickets are available at the Legion and at Dundee Wealth at the Williams Lake and District Credit Union.

Corky’s story now in print Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Corky Williams has been one of the Cariboo’s more colourful characters and story tellers since first setting foot in the remote Chilcotin country back in 1971. Now readers will have the opportunity to enjoy some of his stories and escapades in his new book, co-authored with Sage Birchwater, titled Corky Williams: Cowboy Poet of the Cariboo Chilcotin. Originally from a ranching family in West Texas, Corky left the farm to attend Texas Tech University in Lubbock, to pursue a career in acting. At Texas Tech he met his future wife, Jeanine. After their son, John, was born the family moved to Los Angeles for two years where Corky pursued acting. A friend’s invitation to visit B.C. inspired them to buy the Corkscrew Ranch at Anahim Lake from D’Arcy Christensen. After a couple of years they sold Corkscrew Ranch and bought the Muskeg Ranch from the Holte family and moved further down into the Dean River wilderness north of Anahim Lake. From the propane

Over the past year and a half, Corky and Jeanine collaborated with lakecity writer and author Sage Birchwater to write their family memoir. Birchwater and Corky made several visits to the Chilcotin to interview people. “We couldn’t have survived in that country without the help of our neighbours like Bob Cohen, Bernie Wiersbitzky, Big Fred Elkins and Ollie Moody,” Corky says.

have known what to do. “We wouldn’t have known which lands were too swampy or muddy to work, how to keep the river open in the winter to water cattle safely, or which places to avoid grazing cattle,” Corky says. “Whoever took cattle down into that country was setting the table for the grizzly bear and all his family.” At the time pioneer legends such as Pan Phillips, Peter Alexis and Lester Dorsey were still ranching with horses. Corky brought the first round bailer and the first four-wheel-drive tractor into the country, and he was the first person to seed the fields with tame hay

says there were 21 people living in tents on the property who were part of Mack Squinas’ family construction crew building their house. “There were eight to 10 babies being rocked in baskets that were hung from the rafters,” Corky says. “They built our log house and I helped.” It was a heady time for the young family which now included daughter Dana, born in 1973. While he had lots of experience with dry land ranching in Texas, Corky says ranching in the Chilcotin was a whole new experience.

crops. In 1980 Corky and Jeanine sold the Muskeg Ranch. Corky kept working for the new owners while Jeanine came to Williams Lake so John and Dana could attend school. After a freak accident forced Corky to quit ranching in 1985, he returned to his former livelihood as an entertainer. He launched his career with famed Canadian recording artist Ian Tyson, who invited Corky to perform with him at Expo 86 in Vancouver. In 1990, Corky and Jeanine split up and both returned to Texas for 15 years. Corky’s acting career took him all over the U.S. including the infamous Ford Theatre in Washington DC. About five years ago both Corky and Jeanine returned to the Cariboo to be closer to their grandchild, Bryan, who lives in Anahim Lake. Corky and Birchwater will launch the new book at the Williams Lake Public Library on Thursday, Nov. 7 starting at 7 p.m.

Testimonial
Coming to Williams Lake Acupuncture Clinic is changing my life. After only two treatments, my strength and energy started to increase dramatically. Grace has taught me that by receiving the acupuncture and moxibustion treatments, my immune function will be stimulated. To do the job it is meant to do naturally. I look forward to further improvements in several areas while I continue with treatments at the clinic. Areas helped: - relief from general weakness - significant improvement in tendonitis - strength increased greatly

Peter Arnold and Bryan Reid Sr. of Pioneer Log Homes of B.C. put the final touches on top of a new gazebo and washroom outside the church at Sugar Cane, as excited members of the Williams Lake Indian Band look on last weekend. Pioneer donated the structure while the community collaborated on restorating the 118-year-old Catholic church. A film crew was also on hand filming a reality series with the log home company. For more on the community’s restoration of the church and the faith, see next week’s paper.

CRD highlights Oct. 25 Beyond themarket Jillian Merrick, Program Coordinator presented an overview of the Beyond the Market project. Some of the issues discussed include the challenges and opportunities of agriculture in the community, contributing factors which have driven change in agriculture such as the economy and crisis within the industry, and partnerships in the program. The Beyond the Market project is an economic development strategy to support the local food and agriculture sector in Northern BC. The project began in 2010 and has consisted of three different initiatives; new farm development, regional beef value chain, and beyond the market: growing the North. Further information about the project is available online at beyondthemarket.ca. Museum supported The CRD approved in principle proposal information to construct a First Nations museum at the 108 Greenbelt in the south
Cariboo. The project is led by the Northern Secwepemc Cultural Society, which is comprised of five local First Nations including Canim Lake, Canoe Creek, Williams Lake, Soda Creek and Esketemc. The Society has not secured the funding necessary for the project, which will be in excess of $2 million, but preparing the land use agreements will allow the group to submit
major capital grant applications and undertake consistent fundraising. The initial vision for the museum is an approximately 3,000 square foot structure that reflects aspects of First Nations culture and heritage. Community to Community The CRD received information from the Williams Lake Indian Band advising that
they have received funding from the Regional Community to Community Forum Program. The Williams Lake Indian Band has extended an invitation to the CRD directors and Williams Lake City Council to participate in a half-day facilitated workshop to identify methods for improved communications between the three parties. The session will be held in January, 2014.

New TRU health clinic benefits whole community Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The new TRU Health Clinic is a great community resource for TRU students and the community at large, said executive director Ray Sanders. “I don’t know of another university or college clinic in B.C. that is open to the public,” Sanders explained during an interview at the clinic’s official opening Monday evening. He said TRU is the only health clinic on a B.C. university campus that is open to both students and the public. Creation of the clinic arose out of needs determined for the uni-
versity and in the community. In particular he said there was a need at the university for a clinic to meet the needs of the international students who attend TRU as well as a need for a clinic that people who don’t have a family doctor could easily access. “We started looking at the needs we had,” Sanders said. “We wanted to be a community university and also needed a lab connection for our nursing students, and even our business students.” He was proud to say TRU’s nursing program has a 100 per cent pass rate on provincial exams.

He is also thankful for all of the donations received for the project. “I am very happy and grateful for all the partners who have helped to establish the clinic,” Sanders said. “As we grow we need to provide more student services.” He said another need is for a day care centre which would meet the needs of adult students. Sandi Sylvain, nurse practitioner in charge of the clinic, said the new clinic is a win, win for TRU students and the community. She said opening the clinic will also help bring people into the university who might not otherwise visit.
Once familiar with the university they may feel more comfortable taking courses there. In their daily practice a nurse practitioner can diagnose and treat acute health conditions; order tests (lab test, x-ray, CT scan); prescribe most common medications; manage, and monitor and review chronic health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. The clinic also provides pre-natal care classes, sexual health services and urgent care services such as stitches and flu shots. People can call 250392-8033 for information and to book appointments.

Pumpkin and chocolate a great duo for Halloween Great fall weather and still fishing time. What a wonderful day I had fishing this week in the sunshine, no wind or breeze. The water was still and mother nature provided us with a beautiful fall scenic day that included two giant white Trumpeter swans swimming close to our boat. Of course I didn’t have my camera, which I normally take in the boat, to photograph these majestic birds with the lake and colourful trees providing a beautiful background. It was sure a nice day with my friend Walter Box. Thanks for the trip bud, by the way the fish tasted pretty darn good. Thanks Walter. What a nice fall.

I still had nice flowers in my garden a few days ago, lots of pumpkins around and it’s great if you like photography. Pumpkins are being gobbled up in a hurry these days and my wife makes the best pies from these tasty globes. I like chocolate, cheese cake and pumpkin, so what do you get when you mix the three together? Pumpkin and Chocolate Cheesecake Bars 1 cup graham crack-
er crumbs 2 tbsp finely chopped candied ginger 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 1 egg 2/4 cup of pumpkin puree ½ cup of brown sugar ½ tsp sugar 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp salt 250 gram package of regular cream cheese 2 tbsp whipping cream 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips Stir crumbs in a bowl then add in the candied ginger and butter. Press this mixture over the bottom of a baking pan that has been lined with parchment. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 10
minutes. Then whisk the egg, add in the pumpkin puree, sugar and seasonings. Cut the cheese into cubes and then beat this with an electgric mixture. Pour over the warm crust out of the oven and bake for about 25 minutes then let cool. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat for about two minutes or mike it for maybe a minute. Take pan from heat and add in the chocolate chips. Stir until it is completely melted. Spread over the cooled filling then put in the fridge for about one hour until firm. Yummy. Enjoy fall everyone. Bye for now and goo-od gooking.

Toosey looks toward green energy future Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Tl’esquox (Toosey) Indian Band is among 12 more First Nations across British Columbia receiving a clean-energy investment through the First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund (FNCEBF). Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation John Rustad
Tl’esquox Chief Francis Laceese
announced Monday that FNCEBF will support 10 capacity-building projects and two equity ventures in pursuit of clean-energy goals. He made the announcement in a speech Monday at the 11th annual Clean Energy BC conference in Vancouver. Tl’esquox Chief Francis Laceese said the $30,000 investment will
help his community plan for clean energy projects and apply for other grants. “We are investing $100,000 for geothermal heating in our new health and administration facility,” Laceese said Tuesday. It will be the first building on the reserve with alternate energy. The band applied for funding for the geother-
mal heating, but wasn’t successful so it is paying for some of that itself to make it happen, he added. Geothermal is good for winter and summer, Laceese said. “It can be converted to air conditioning, and further down the road we will be looking at solar energy. Once the building is completed, we will look at other grants out there to offset
the thermal heat with solar energy.” Highlighting the conference theme of innovative partnerships, Rustad told the crowd about the success of revenuesharing initiatives that continue to see First Nations becoming partners in B.C.’s economy. He said the FNCEBF has proven very successful as a new tool to engage First Nations. Over
the last three years, B.C. has invested in 95 First Nations clean-energy projects. Laceese said the last bit of concrete has been poured for the new health centre’s foundation. “From there the walls be going up and they are hoping by Christmas they will have it up and just be working on the inside.”
Minister discusses senate reform and taxes Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Canada’s Minister of National Revenue said the government is waiting on the opinion of the Supreme Court when it comes to senate reform. “We’re waiting for that report so we can see what we can do unilaterally as a parliament to make changes, or what requires full constitutional amendments,” Minister KerryLynne Findlay said earlier this month. Constitutional amendments are not easy to make in Canada, she said warning amendments require majority support from
the provinces. Findlay said the different provinces have varying views of senate reform. The West has always felt under-represented in the senate by numbers and is probably leading the way in respect to reform, she added. “Of course our prime minister has stood for that quite clearly and has always said the senate has to be reformed or abolished.” Findlay suggested most Canadians would like to see a reformed senate, not necessarily an abolished senate. A few years ago, the Conservative government established higher
disclosure rules for senators. “Senators have been shown to not be as transparent or forthright as we would like them to be so we’re looking forward to that Supreme Court of Canada reference because we want to get on with the business of senate reform.” Taxes Findlay said the federal tax burden is at its lowest in 50 years. “We are working toward a balanced budget by 2015 but doing it by creating more jobs and more opportunities and keeping taxes low.” It’s better for Canadians to have more money in their pockets and
make decisions on how to spend it, not hand it over to government, she said. When asked if lower taxes results in a transfer of the burden over to municipal and provincial governments, Findlay questioned if those levels of govern-
ment are not managing the money they have with the same approach as the federal government. “That’s a question each region and municipality has to ask itself,” Findlay responded. “Our transfer payments to the provinces for health care
has increased six per cent every year since we came into government seven years ago. We’re funding it more than 40 per cent higher than we were when we came into power.” Different provinces had jurisdiction over their health care and
have different levels of efficiency with the money they are getting, Findlay said. “When it comes to municipalities it varies. Some are doing really well and some are trying to raise taxes. It comes down to management I would suggest.”

Come, learn of Jesus I watched as they put their pontoon boats into the water, gathered up their fishing gear and climbed aboard their individual boats - a young lad and an older man, father and son or grandfather and grandson? When they started out from shore, it quickly became obvious that the boy had not been fishing with a pontoon boat before. He seemed insistent on rowing when facing forward, and he constantly went in circles, crossing his own fishing line. I could hear the patient and encouraging voice of the man as it floated gently across the waters of the lake. No scolding, no shouting, no anger evident; just patient instruction and encouragement. I thought to myself, “If only the mentoring and discipling in the church of Christ followed this example! What a positive and refreshing change this could be and how great an encouragement this would be to the new believer, the new follower of Jesus Christ!” Often discipling of new believers is left to special programs (new beginner classes, Sunday school for adults, etc.) or, in a worst case scenario, for the pastor to do. Now, there is nothing wrong with using these venues and people, but too often many people fall through the cracks if this approach is the only method used to help a new
PARSONS PEN
BY GERRIT APPERLOO believer stand firm in their faith and to develop a practical Christian lifestyle. Many who are still in the church and the even more who were but left shortly after making a decision to accept Jesus as Saviour, have bad experiences in regard to their discipling and learning about living the Christian life. Judgment of failures; controlling requirements established for new believers; impatience with mistakes and understanding of the theological terms and concepts; and many more actions and reactions of the church leaders, has left scars in the lives of new believers and those seeking a
relationship with Jesus. When they needed encouragement the most, they often received unhelpful criticism and were made to feel worthless, a lost cause. Selfesteem plummeted and uncertainty of what Jesus did and could do for them crept into their belief system. As church leaders we have a lot to learn about mentoring and discipling. Yes, there are some great examples of good mentoring and discipling and I wished they were in the majority. But I suspect we need to make some major changes, especially if we want to keep the youth and those who are already struggling with acceptance. One Christian teacher said that if you are a believer for one day, you can disciple someone who accepted Jesus today. After all, you now have one day of experience more than the new believer. But that means each one disciples – it is not left to a program or church. A mentored believer mentoring another believer. And the truth is that one-on-one mentoring and discipling is the most effective and beneficial. To those the church has failed, I ask your forgiveness - and a second chance to help you. To those who are just considering joining a discipling activity, please don’t give up on Jesus because of our failures. We fail others, Jesus doesn’t!

Riske Creek’s Jake Ilnicki (middle) stands alongside fellow Canadian Men’s 15s squad teammates during the Canadian national anthem at the Americas Rugby Championship. Ilnicki and Team Canada are now preparing for a four-game tour, beginning this Sunday, Nov. 3, in Toronto against the New Zealand Maori All Blacks at BMO Field.
Ilnicki, Team Canada, set for international tour Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Riske Creek’s Jake Ilnicki is soaking it all in right now. The 21-year-old rugby standout and Williams Lake secondary graduate is in Toronto this week preparing to suit up for the Canadian men’s 15s squad this Sunday, Nov. 3, against the New Zealand Maori All Blacks in front of 16,000 spectators and a nationally televised audience at BMO Field. The match against New Zealand kicks off a fourgame tour that will take the Canadian side to Georgia, Romania and Portugal for international rugby competition. For Ilnicki the tour represents the results of many years of hard work. He’s climbed the ranks from Williams Lake, to the University of Victoria Vikings, to the New Zealand College Rifles Rugby Football Club, to the under-20 Canadian national team in April of 2012. Ilnicki’s cur-
I’m just excited to get out there on the field playing with some of the top players in the world.” - Jake Ilnicki rent club then brought him back to New Zealand as a member of the Auckland Colts. Most recently Ilnicki played three games as a member of Canada’s Americas Rugby Championship (ARC) club featuring teams from the U.S., Argentina and Uruguay. “This means a lot to me,” Ilincki said. “I guess all my hard work’s kind of shown and now I’ve just got to get out there on the field and put it all out there into the game. I’ve been training hard and I’m just excited to get out there on the field playing with some of the top players in the world.”
Ilnicki, who will occupy the tighthead prop position for the Canadians, said the opportunity to play with some of the best in the world will be an amazing experience. “That’s probably the coolest part — playing with some of these guys I’ve watched on the big screen for all these years,” he said. “Just being around these guys and learning from them is great and to get onto the field and actually represent Canada on the senior men’s level is going to be pretty cool.” The invite to the Canadian selection camp was ex-
tended to him from his former Team Canada under-20 coach. “He’s kind of a key selector for the [Canadian] men’s team,” Ilnicki said. “I kept in contact with him pretty well while I was in New Zealand and they were kind of keeping an eye on me while I was over there I guess. Making that Auckland team is a pretty big step for my rugby and I guess they kind of looked at that.” The match with the All Blacks will be broadcast on TSN beginning at 10 a.m. Following that Ilnicki and the Canadians head for Tbilisi, Georgia, for a game
Nov. 9, before travelling to Bucharest, Romania for another contest on Nov. 16. Team Canada will wrap up its tour in Lisbon, Portugal on Nov. 23. “Those games will affect our rankings if we do well enough in some of those games internationally,” he said, adding Canada is beginning to make a name for itself on the world rugby stage. “Canada’s really kind of making that step to become one of the top tier two nations and I think it’s kind of just shown, especially with our junior teams, that we’ve been able to compete and there are a lot of guys there who are getting older and moving into the senior men’s role now so definitely these guys are learning from the best. “I think we’ve shown we can compete with the tier two nations and hopefully we can show what we can do this weekend and take a crack at one of the tier one nations like New Zealand.”

This Saturday, Nov. 2, the Williams Lake Blue Fins will support cancer awareness at the Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool. “We will be hosting a swim team event for breast cancer awareness
and prostate cancer,” said Blue Fins head coach, Chad Webb. “This will be for our junior, senior, masters and invited super novice swimmers. Anyone can raise money, as well, or just help us raise awareness.” The Blue Fins’ junior and invited super novice swimmers will be in the pool from 7:45 to 9 a.m., while the seniors and masters will take to the
pool from 6:40 to 9 a.m. Webb and the Williams Lake Blue Fins are also inviting members of the community to fight for their right to change the face of health and to enlist for Movember as part of their team at http:// moteam.com/blue-finsswim-club. “Only a few generations have been given the opportunity to make a difference in their
hour of need,” he said. “Pledge to grow a moustache for change and wear pink, or support those that do.” Webb said more information is available about Movember programs at http:// ca.movember.com/programs. “Thanks for supporting Pink Gen Mo and helping us change the face of health,” Webb said.

Speedway presents points championships Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Tim Westwick, president of Thunder Mountain Speedway, said this year’s season of racing was one of the local track’s most successful in recent years. “Our fan support was way higher than normal,” Westwick said. “We’re so thankful for the fan support we had this year — it was pretty cool to see the amount of people coming through the gate.” Drivers, fans, family and friends gathered at the Sacred Heart School gymnasium Saturday for the TMS Awards Banquet and Dance, where season champions were crowned based off their points totals accumulated throughout the season. TMS features three classes of racing — bone stocks, pro-minis and street stocks. In the bone stock class local driver Brian Bettles was presented the cham-
pionship, edging out his son, Gordon Bettles, in second place. Picking up third place on the season was George Giesbrecht. For the pro-mini points championship it was Allen Roberts amassing the most points on the season. Meanwhile Allen’s dad, Tim Roberts, finished runner-up, with Marius Dunford taking third place in the series. In the street stock class — the fastest cars on the track at TMS — longtime local driver Arnie Kunka captured another of several season points championships. Second place in the division went to his son, Donny Kunka, while Westwick claimed third, driving in his first street stock season after switching to the division this year from the now defunct ‘Thunder’ class. “It’s pretty interesting that the top two in all the classes are family,” he said. “It’s definitely a family affair.”
Westwick added the executive at TMS is already looking forward to and preparing for the 2014 race season. “We’re looking at expanding the Tri-City Race series between Quesnel, Prince George and Williams Lake and further developing our Day of Destruction, as well as building up some infrastructure in regards to seating areas.” Also presented Saturday were several other season awards. The following are the remaining results: Best Appearing Car and Crew Bone stock — Shawn Knott; Pro-mini — Marius Dunford; Street stock — Terry Judd Most Improved Driver Bone stock — Shawn Knott; Pro-mini — Sarah Roberts; Street stock — John Haynes Most Sportsmanlike Driver Bone stock — Shawn Knott; Pro-mini — Marius Dunford; Street stock — Tim Westwick
The Williams Lake Midget Rep Timberwolves played a strong tournament in Winfield this past weekend before being ousted in the semifinal by the hosts. Williams Lake started the tournament on a roll beating Vernon, 6-3, and Surrey, 8-3, in round robin play, setting up a game with Kelowna to decide who would move on from the pool to the semifinal. Despite conceding an early goal Williams Lake fought back, led by a pair of goals from Justin Bond and Eric Nickel. A solid third-period gave the Timberwolves a decisive 7-4 victory, setting up the semifinal match with Winfield. “After the round robin we were the team to beat,” said Timberwolves coach, Mike Grace. “We dominated the semifinal but we came up against a hot goaltender.” The loss of Bond to a broken shoulder late in the first period shook the Wolves up, and some penalty trouble early in the second period allowed the hosts to score two power play goals. Winfield extended
their lead to 4-0 by the halfway point, but Williams Lake was not done. Ezra Oosting, the notorious team spark plug, scored two goals in a three-minute span after the mid-game ice clean to cut the lead in half. Williams Lake’s special teams proved to be an issue, again, as Winfield potted three shorthanded goals to close out the second period, dashing any hopes of a Williams Lake comeback. A late goal brought the score to 7-3 in a game where Williams Lake heavily outplayed their opponents. “I felt we had a good weekend and that the team was starting to come together,” said coach, Merv Bond. “Even though we lost 7-3 I thought we played fairly well. If a couple of bounces went our way it would have been a different game. We played really well but special teams seemed to decide the final game.” Oosting added he’s looking forward to this weekend when the Wolves travel to Quesnel for the 2013 Canadian Tire Midget Tournament. “I think other teams thought we just came from the back 40,” Oost-
ing said. “I’m looking forward to our next opportunity to show how good we are this coming weekend.”

Chess prodigy looks to put world’s best in checkmate Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer After coming second at the Canadian Chess Federation Championship in Ottawa last summer, 10-year-old Kai Richardson is going to the World Youth Chess Championships in the United Arab Emirates taking place from December 17 – 29. He will be part of a delegation of Canadian players and one of 1,000 competitors representing 85 nations. Kai lives on the Mackin Creek Road an hour west of Williams Lake with his dad and mom and is homeschooled. When he was five years old he began playing chess with his parents, but it didn’t take long before Kai was beating his mom and dad at the game. “My mom put a sign up at the library asking if anyone would play chess with me,” Kai said. Ken Mitchell and Rob Hamm accepted the challenge and have been meeting every Tuesday at the library to compete with Kai and other children interested in playing. “In the beginning I used to win, but not anymore,” Mitchell said of Kai’s abilities. “He beats me all the time.” Kai said he started playing with domino pieces and some old plastic chess pieces making forts. That was until his dad Scott Richardson bought him a chess master computer program. “It has all these international learning programs on it,” Kai said of the computer program. And he plays chess every day online with people of all ages. When he’s not playing he studies the game from his vast library of chess books. His favourite book is Dr. John Nunn’s, Nunn’s Chess Endings, he said.
Without hesitation he lists Russian grandmaster Mikhail Tal as his number one chess hero. “He was really famous for his tactics and solid play,” Kai said. Armenian Tigran Petrosian would be second on his list, he added. Novels and movies about chess are a favourites too. He has seen Searching for Bobby Fischer a few times and recommended it enthusiastically. When he attended the championships in Ottawa there were 300 competitors from all across Canada playing chess at the same time. “Tournament play is usually 90 minutes with a 30-second increment meaning that every time you move, 30 seconds are added to your clock,” Kai explained. His longest game so far was five and half hours, his dad added.

Local chess prodigy, Kai Richardson, 10, is going to the World Youth Chess Championships in the United Arab Emirates from Dec. 17-29. Kai began playing chess when he was five and has been regularly playing chess at the Williams Lake Library with, and even beating, adults. Ken Mitchell (right) regularly meets with Richardson at the library to play. The average is four hours. When Kai learned he was invited to the world’s his dad made a
website and in a week and half he received $6,000 in sponsorship. Now Scott is hoping local businesses will
help with the $1,300 cost of 40-plus polo shirts being designed and printed by Wells artist Bill Horne.

Tips from The CrD
smoke Alarms
Smoke alarms save lives. 65% of home fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke alarms at all or no smoke alarms that work. When there is a fire, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out. •

Safety Tips
Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires and a photoelectric smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires. For the best protection, both types of alarms or a combination alarm (photoelectric and ionization) should be installed in homes. Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button. Smoke rises; install smoke alarms following manufacturer’s instructions high on a wall or on a ceiling. Save manufacturer’s instructions for testing and maintenance. Replace batteries in all smoke alarms at least once a year. If an alarm “chirps,” warning the battery is low, replace battery right away. Replace all smoke alarms, including alarms that use ten year batteries and hard-wired alarms, when they are ten years old or sooner if they do not respond properly when tested. Be sure the smoke alarm has the label of a recognized testing laboratory. Alarms that are hard-wired (and include battery backup) must be installed by a qualified electrician. If cooking fumes or steam sets off nuisance alarms, replace the alarm with an alarm that has a “hush” button. A “hush” button will reduce the alarm’s sensitivity for a short period of time. An ionization alarm with a hush button or photoelectric alarm should be used if the alarm is within 20 feet of a cooking appliance. Smoke alarms that include a recordable voice announcement, in addition to the usual alarm sound, may be helpful in waking children through the use of a familiar voice. Smoke alarms are available for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. These alarms use strobe lights. Vibration equipment can be added to these alarms. Smoke alarms are an important part of a home fire escape plan. Sponsored by

Snow pass available for grades 4 and 5 used once it will have been worth it to the industry if we are providing a child with a once in a lifetime opportunity. However, we hope that once a child tries skiing and snowboarding they will love the sport for a lifetime.” Now in its 17th year, the Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass program has already generated more than one million resort visits by nearly 500,000 grades 4 and 5 children from across Canada. The program is funded jointly by the Canada West Ski Areas Association, Ontario Snow Resorts Association, Quebec Ski Areas Association and the Atlantic Ski Area Association. Anyone who is currently in Grade 4 or Grade 5 (or born in 2003 or 2004) is eligible for a SnowPass. The mail-in application forms are being distributed to schools across the country in early November. Applications are also available at the SnowPass website at www. snowpass.ca where you can apply for the pass online by uploading a photo, proof of age or grade and making the payment of $29.95. The SnowPass is valid beginning Dec. 1 until the end of the ski season. For more visit www. snowpass.ca where you will find program information, including a full list of participating ski areas.

Ski areas across Canada, including Mt. Timothy Ski Area, are opening their hearts and hills to more than 700,000 fourth and fifth graders with an invitation to ski and snowboard all winter long. All you need is a Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass, which is a coupon card offering grades 4 and 5 students three complimentary lift tickets at each of the participating ski areas, all across Canada. With more than 150 ski areas on this year’s SnowPass card that amounts to more than 450 days of skiing and snowboarding for a very low price of $29.95. The Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass program is a ski and snowboard industry initiative encouraging kids to get outside and be active during the winter. Grades 4 and 5 were selected for the program because nine- and 10-years-old are the perfect ages to learn how to ski or to snowboard. “The Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass not only provides a unique opportunity to ‘try before you buy,’ it helps make skiing and snowboarding more accessible to families who might not otherwise be able to participate,” said Patrick Arkeveld, president and CEO of the Canadian Ski Council, the non-profit organization spearheading the program. “Even if the Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass is only
