BC Hydro crews work to replace a broken power pole along Fairview Drive Saturday after a driver lost control in the early morning hours, striking the pole and coming to rest in a yard. Police said the driver of the vehicle was under the inﬂuence of alcohol and there was also evidence of alcohol consumption located at the scene. The driver was given a 24-hour prohibition and his vehicle was towed and impounded for 24 hours. He was also was given a Violation Ticket for Speed Relative to Conditions and for possession of open liquor in a motor vehicle.

B.C.’s new drinking and driving laws are working, said Cariboo-Chilcotin Traffic Services regional commander Sgt. Bob Verbree. “In the Cariboo we have certainly seen a downward trend of drinking and driving as they have seen around the province.” Given the fact B.C.’s drinking and driving laws have survived another court challenge this week is also a good thing, he said. On Monday a constitutional challenge was turned away by the B.C. Court of Appeal, allowing

B.C. police to continue to impose 90-day driving suspensions and seize vehicles of drivers who fail a breath alcohol test. “It’s a matter of public safety on our roads, and so we’re carrying on with the immediate roadside prohibition program,” Attorney General Suzanne Anton said following the ruling. The law was challenged by six drivers who had either blown a “fail” reading on a roadside blood alcohol screening device, or refused to blow. B.C.’s immediate roadside prohibition program took effect in 2010, replacing most impaired driving charges with administra-

tive penalties, including a threeday driving ban and a $200 administrative fee for those who register between 0.05 and 0.08, if the police officer has reason to believe the driver is impaired. If a driver blows a 0.08 or higher police can impose a 90-day driving ban, a $500 penalty and impound the vehicle for 30 days instead of a charge. Towing and impounding a vehicle can result in a $700 bill, and a $924 mandatory “responsible driver program” may also be required. Verbree said the new laws are working and his staff notices the changes, even in daily routines.

“The numbers aren’t there like they used to be before,” Verbree said. Government statistics show average fatalities from drinking and driving have fallen to 54 a year from a previous five-year average of 112, since the law took effect in September 2010. Minister Anton said the program is so successful that other provinces are moving in the same direction. “We’ve led the way nationally on tackling this issue and the results speak for themselves — 190 lives saved and a 52 per cent reduction in alcohol-related motor vehicle fatalities,” she said. - With files from Tom Fletcher

Testimony helps win WLIB land claim ruling Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A year after Williams Lake Indian Band elder Agnes Anderson passed away, a special claims ruling has come out in favour of the band. On Friday, Feb. 28 the Specific Claims Tribunal released its decision finding that the Williams Lake Band was wrongfully dispossessed of its village lands in Williams Lake in the late 19th century. Judge Harry Slade held Canada accountable for the Crown’s failure to protect the village lands from non-Indian settlement. Anderson testified at the tribunal hearings in October 2012. Her granddaughter Chief Ann Louie

said her grandmother is probably smiling down on the band today. “When she was giving her evidence I thought she would only last an hour or so, but she was 93 years old and elected to sit there all day,” Louie said of her grandmother. “That’s how powerful it was for her to be involved.” The band will now have to wait to see if the federal government is going to accept the ruling or not. “It’s extremely emotional. I was literally shaking when we found out the ruling was in our favour,” Louie said. Chiefs and Elders have been decrying the fact they were pushed off village lands for 150 years.

www.wltribune.com A3

It’s been an ongoing issue — the hurt the village has gone through the the hurt of having lands taken away, has passed from generations. In the mid-19th century, the band had a village site in what is now known as Williams Lake from Glendale all the way through. “That’s where our community was and displaced from,” Louie said. In 1879, Chief William, who is Louie’s ancestor, wrote a letter that was published in the British Colonist newspaper and widely circulated, describing his peoples’ desperate condition on account of the settlers’ actions: “The land on which my people lived for five hundred years was taken by a white

man; he has piles of wheat and herds of cattle. We have nothing — not an acre. Another white man has enclosed the graves in which the ashes of our fathers rest, and we may live to see their bones turned over by the plough.” Louie is hopeful the government will honour the decision and help establish the path toward reconciliation by giving a fair agreement to an outstanding grievance. If the ruling is accepted, the band will be compensated financially only. The tribunal cannot order that lands be restored. Louie said the compensation would be used in the way the community decides, but no decisions will be made until the ruling is accepted.

Power pole hit and run

Angie Mindus photo

A rogue truck driver badly damaged a power pole at the corner of Hodgson Road and South Lakeside Drive Monday afternoon, before fleeing the scene and being apprehended later by police at 150 Mile House. Crews worked throughout the day to replace the pole. The driver is facing several charges under the Motor Vehicle Act.

Regional district proposes tax increase Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Cariboo Regional District is proposing a 2.4 per cent budget increase in 2014. “Based on inflationary costs the overall budget is up about 1.1 per cent and the remainder of the charges are for new services or improvements,” CRD chair Al Richmond said. During a public presentation of the budget in Williams Lake Saturday, chief financial officer Janis Bell outlined those new or improved services.

They include $5,000 for the West Chilcotin Search and Rescue, $6,000 for the Anahim Lake airport, and $50,000 for Central Cariboo Recreation Areas D, E, F and Williams Lake. The $50,000 for recreation areas will mean the CRD will offer more support to recreational amenities such as biking trails or the playing fields at Esler. Arts and culture will see a slight increase of about $12,000, which Bell said has been the plan. When the arts and culture function was first developed, the

plan was always to expand the funding so more programs could be developed. 150 Mile House resident George Atamanenko encouraged the CRD to look at its supports to heritage opportunities. “I think we’ve only scratched the surface,” he told Bell. “With a tourism connection I think it’s important to seriously look at heritage.” Taxpayers will see some decreases in budget lines in Williams Lake fire protection there are decreases of $52 and $72 compared to 2013. Of the overall $41.8

Police nab apologetic suspect A 25-year-old male from Williams Lake was arrested Friday following a string of thefts from local businesses, say police. The suspect was charged with eight counts of theft under $5,000 relating to a recent rash of thefts and remanded until March 3 for an appearance at the Williams Lake courthouse. On Friday police requested public assistance locating the suspect described at the time as a white male, mid 20s, ap-

proximately six feet tall, medium build, light colored hair and ‘goatee,’ traveling in a grey/silver Chevrolet / GMC extended pick truck. The suspect was going into businesses asking for cigarettes and other merchandise, then when the business owner produced the items, the suspect apparently grabbed the items and would run from the store shouting that he was ‘sorry.’ The suspect will appear in court on Wednesday, Mar. 5.

New hotel proposal revised Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The company wanting to build a hotel on Broadway Avenue South will provide adequate parking. In January Williams Lake Ventures Inc. asked if it could provide less parking than required and was told no. Last week city council received a new application from the company requesting a height variance, but no parking

variance. “This new application isn’t asking for a parking variance,” Mayor Kerry Cook said during Tuesday’s regular council meeting. “They’ve reduced it from 50 rooms to 36. Thirty-six times l.5 means they will have to provide 45 parking spots that are required.” The height variance is required because of changes to the original plan, explained general manager of planning

and operations Geoff Goodall. “In the new plan, the ground around the hotel is slightly lower and the average height of the building has changed, but physically the building hasn’t changed,” he said. Staff will now issue a notice of application to property owners and tenants within a 100 metre radius of the subject property. The application, comments and recommen-

dations will be brought back to council for further consideration. After the meeting, principal architect Dieters Greiner said it’s great to be one step closer. “Hopefully we’ll get the permit. The parking is solved, so it should be fine.” Williams Lake Ventures has built hotels in White Rock and Dawson Creek previously and are hoping to build more, Greiner said.

Sam Ketcham Pool Referendum Question of the Week Will the pool be closed for a long time? The amount of time the pool would be closed depends mostly on the result of the referendum. The proposed project which would occur after a “Yes” vote can be built in two phases so that there is water open for public use most of the time during construction. In the recommended concept, the new leisure pool would be built first and the main tank would remain open during construction. When the leisure pool is complete, it would open and the main tank would be closed for replacement. This phased process would take between 16-20 months to complete. There would be short periods of time when both pools are unavailable. In the event of a “No” vote for the referendum replacement of the main tank will still occur, and the entire pool area (including hot tub, wading pool, steam room and sauna) would be closed for approximately 12 months.

Protecting rural constituents

riving downtown one morning last week, I realized that whatever “placebrand” the city comes up with, one thing won’t change, and that is horse droppings on downtown streets. I personally would rather have horse poop on the pavement than chemicals sprayed on the grass on city boulevards. Speaking of place brand, council’s plan for communicating with the public is on the city’s agenda tonight. And speaking of communicating, it continues to astonish me that in these days when technology puts the world at our fingertips, so many of us don’t know what’s happening in our own community, let alone in the province or country. According to French Wikipedia, comConnection munications is sharing, exchangDiana French ing thoughts or infor mation. Maybe it’s an age thing, but I do wonder if some newer methods of communicating are effective in doing that. Some public information meetings are more like sales jobs, one way communication only.

always stand up for the people of the Cariboo-Chilcotin and rural British Columbians. The government brought forward Bill 2 — known as the Electoral Boundaries Commission Amendment Act, 2014, so I am standing firm in support for the protection of our rural northern B.C. constituencies. That is my job as your MLA; however when rural New Democrat opposition MLAs decide to put the interests of their party leadership above the interests of rural British Columbians, it disappoints me. More than ever, rural British Columbians need to be heard and need a stronger voice in the Legislature. While many critics say that MLA our voice counts more than in Musings big cities, that is Donna Barnett simply not true. Consider the fact that in Vancouver-West End the MLA could walk from one end of the constituency to the other in approximately thirty minutes. In Delta-South, it would only take a half hour drive to visit a constituent. Therefore, if the opposition wishes were granted to take the steps to significantly diminish the number of seats in rural and northern B.C., your voice will surely not count as much as theirs. It already takes hours to visit some towns and settlements in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. If our riding was to be larger merging our constituency with Cariboo North and Nechako Lakes it would take days, at least. When it comes to local issues such as the issues surrounding the New Prosperity Project, I was right there standing up for you. If the constituency was significantly larger, the issue might not have received the attention it deserved. Also consider without this special protection we would see the vast majority of MLAs come from Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, Victoria, and Kelowna; while rural B.C. no matter how our regions would vote, we would always be in a minority status. You can count on me to fight for the protection of our rural constituencies so that we are building a stronger rural B.C. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Our Viewpoint

Province, BCTF need to focus on students tainty. The BCTF is flexing its muscles, and is taking a strike vote this week — and it will be very surprising if there is not some job action, either at the end of this school year or at the beginning of the next one. While the government has certainly provoked the union on a number of occasions, the union’s blithe ignorance of the province’s fiscal state is also grating. An additional $500 million per year comes from just one source — taxpayers. Teachers are already well-paid, and while their jobs certainly come with a great number of challenges, they aren’t the only ones. Teachers deserve to be treated fairly and in a responsible way, and breaking contracts is no way to sort out disagreements. However, they also need to engage in meaningful bargaining with the provincial government. If B.C.’s economy is to return to its robust state, it requires a well-educated population. Teachers are a critical and essential part of that solution. They deserve a fair contract, and they also need to remember who is paying their wages and benefits — taxpayers. More focus on students, by both the BCTF and the province, and less political rhetoric, is badly needed. – Black Press

MORE VIEWPOINTS

Thanks for nothing Editor: Well, folks, I have to congratulate you on stopping Prosperity Mine from going ahead. Thanks to you for stopping the prospect of good paying jobs and tax revenue

for our province. Now I would suggest you put as much time and energy into finding a way to create good paying, meaningful, full time employment as you did to stop Prosperity Mine from going ahead.

If you can do this, I am sure the citizens and businesses of Williams lake and area would be very appreciative of your efforts. Hugh Barrett Horsefly

phrases like “taking food out of the mouths of children” and “we won’t take ‘no’ for an answer?” These might be expected from right-wing commentators but not elected representatives. Only those who are social and environmental dinosaurs would want to dig up a unique and irreplaceable 70-million-year-old resource as soon as possible rather than save it for future generations when it will be worth far more,

thereby allowing mitigative measures that can’t be imagined now. New Prosperity is so fraught with environmental and social risks that the most industryfriendly federal government we’ve had in decades has rejected two permit applications in a row. That should send a strong signal to even the most uninformed among us.

Sick and tired of the rhetoric Editor: I am very disappointed with the recent inflammatory rhetoric from Kerry Cook, Donna Barnett, and Dick Harris regarding the federal government’s rejection of the Fish Lake open pit mine. Their positions are so un-nuanced that one would think that they represented Taseko Mines Ltd. rather than an electorate. I’m speaking of irresponsible

Open letter to federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq Editor: The Fish Lake Alliance wishes to commend you for your Feb. 26 decision, rejecting the proposed New Prosperity Mine at Teztan Biny near Williams Lake British Columbia. The New Prosperity Mine proposal went through an extensive Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) review last summer (2013), and the panel report was scathing for both the environmental integrity of the mining plan, and for the cultural harm the mine would have inflicted A big thank you and dozens of Roses from Rocky and Sparky to the generous people at the Super Save Gas Station in Williams Lake and Cariboo Water on Third Avenue in Williams Lake for the dog treats whenever we stop by with our ‘Dad.’ Your thoughtfulness is paw-sitively appreciated.

As proud citizens of the Cari-

Farnworth seeks B.C. NDP leadership Tom Fletcher Black Press After finishing a close second to Adrian Dix in 2011, Mike Farnworth says he is running for NDP leader to correct the party’s mistakes of 2013. Offering “a progressive alternative that can win an election,” the long-time Port Coquitlam MLA referred Sunday to the NDP campaign choice to run mostly upbeat advertising to promote a platform with few specifics. “Under my watch, the B.C. NDP will nev-

Mike Farnworth throws his hat into the ring for NDP leadership. er fight an election with one hand tied behind

its back,” Farnworth said in an opening statement released by his campaign. “We’ll be tough on the issues and hold the B.C. Liberals to account for their disastrous record, while being clear about what we would do differently.” Farnworth also gave a hint of a more prodevelopment stance for the party, which has opposed oil pipelines and offered lukewarm support to liquefied natural gas development. “Under my leadership, the B.C. NDP will stand firmly for a

strong and diversified economy that provides family-supporting jobs and builds shared prosperity,” Farnworth said. Dix won the leadership by a narrow margin in 2011, after several rounds of voting left Farnworth with 48 per cent of participating party members. After a string of newly elected MLAs bowed out, Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan has been reconsidering his decision not to run again. He finished third in 2011, and both he and Farnworth had leading

roles in the NDP governments of the 1990s.

One of Thomas’s best memories involves former Stampeders player-coach, Sherman Blair. “Sherman was good and he made hockey fun,” Thomas said. “He wanted to win, but he made sure that the game was enjoyable to play. I remember once at a game we played in Vanderhoof, that Sherman (a centreman) took a faceoff.” Blair, being the trickster he was, had slipped an extra puck into his hockey glove.

mates like Phil Larden, Ron Barkwell, Gary Duthie, Bob House and Wally Fluery — left him the most memories and lasting friendships. Dubray recalls a game in Vanderhoof when Fleury provoked opposing tough-guy Ken Clay in the second period. When the final buzzer went Fleury was the first man off the ice, showering and dressing in record time. He was also the first man on the bus. When Dubray asked Fleury what had happened, he replied: “I was so worried about Ken Clay catching me that had the end door of the arena been open when the buzzer went at the end of the game, I would have skated straight out the door and kept going until I got back to Williams Lake.”

for the Stampeders. C o i n c i d e n t a l l y, Meadow Lake also had a hockey team Dubray played for called the Stampeders. Back then (1970), teams would recruit players, bring them in, find them a place to stay and a job — most assuredly one where time could be taken off for hockey. The first year Dubray played with the Stampeders he worked two jobs — mixing mud for Joe D’Andrea and hammering nails for Siebert Construction (Al Siebert). In 1971 he was hired on at Safeway where he worked for the rest of his career. Dubray was truly another ‘import’ player to become a full-time Williams Laker.

own simultaneously. “The confusion of having two pucks in play for a couple of minutes had everyone laughing,” Thomas said. “That was a typical fun moment, courtesy of Sherman.” And then there is Carl Buchholtz — known for sporting a trademark black eye — who, at 85 years, still thinks of his playing days with the Stampeders fondly. Buchholtz was born in Williams Lake the year the city was first incorporated (1929) and is considered the ‘ironman’ of the Stampeders hockey club. He first joined the team in 1949 and sported the green and white until 1969 to play 19 years for the Stampeders. Willie Dubray also moved to Williams Lake from Meadow Lake, Sask., to play hockey

With a storied history behind the team dating back to 1930, there is no shortage of Williams Lake Stampeders’ alumni still happily milling about the city. Many, in fact, first arrived in the lakecity as recruits to the Williams Lake Stampeders hockey club. Fred Thomas, the current president of the World Famous Williams Lake Stampede Association, came to Williams Lake in 1963 after being recruited from Kelowna and played with the team for two years before being transferred to Kamloops by Telus for work. He commuted back to Williams Lake on weekends during the hockey season to play for the Stamps. Thomas was later transferred back to Williams Lake and suited up for the Stamps from

NEWS Discover Camping reservations open March 15 Calling all wilderness explorers! Get ready for another exciting season of camping, hiking and picnicking as BC Parks’ reservation system, Discover Camping, prepares to open. If you’ve had your eye on that special camping spot starting

at 9 a.m. (Pacific time) on Saturday, March 15, Discover Camping will begin accepting reservations at most campgrounds. In total, there are more than 5,200 easily accessible (frontcountry) campsites. Up to three reservations can be made in

one easy transaction. Individual frontcountry sites are available up to three months in advance, while group sites are available up to 12 months in advance of your arrival date. This year, even more reservable campsites have been added to Alice Lake, Golden

Ears, Rolley Lake and Herald Lake provincial parks, and campers now can make reservations at Meziadin Lake, Prudhomme Lake and Paul Lake provincial parks. For more adventurous campers, new parks will be added before the May long

weekend to the backcountry registration system: Desolation Sound and Joffre Lakes Provincial Park. Backcountry permits for most parks can be purchased two weeks prior to your arrival date. Discover Camping’s interactive system al-

lows campers to view availability, layouts and amenities at 109 reservable campgrounds in 97 provincial parks throughout the province. Most frontcountry campgrounds are equipped with picnic tables and fire rings. Campers can also

access Discover Camping reservation service from their smartphones. This mobile platform is simpler and easier to access when the Discover Camping website is in high demand or users need to make changes to their reservation on the go.

Damage to hydro pole, stolen meds, among police responses Vehicle damage to a hydro pole and medication theft were among 60 calls Williams Lake RCMP responded to during the weekend. Feb. 28 At approximately 7:10 p.m. while making routine patrol, police observed several beer cans strewn about the parking lot at the Coast Fraser Beer & Wine Store on Donald Road. Enquiries with beer store staff revealed a male had just tried to steal a case of beer. Vehicle and suspect descriptions were obtained from the staff and the follow-up investigation resulted in the arrest of two males, one of whom was taken into custody pending court in relation to this and numerous other thefts in the Williams Lake area. Police are continuing to follow up with investigation into these thefts and additional court action is pending against the male perpetrator taken into police custody. March 1 Police responded to a report of a vehicle stuck in a yard on Fairview Drive at 12:52 a.m. Subsequent investigation by police revealed the driver of the vehicle had lost control sliding into the snow and getting stuck. The vehicle had slid off the left side of the road, cut through a wooden power pole and come to rest on the front lawn of the residence. Police also determined the driver of the vehicle was under the influence of alcohol and there was evidence of alcohol consumption located at the scene. BC Hydro was notified of the incident and

damage to hydro property. The driver was given a 24-hour prohibition and his vehicle was towed and impounded for 24 hours. He was also was given a Violation Ticket for Speed Relative to Conditions and for possession of open liquor in a motor vehicle. *** Police responded to a report at 2:37 p.m of a fight between a shoplifter and security guards at Save On Foods on Oliver Street. Police arrived minutes later and located security guards and a civilian holding down a male. Police approached the male and the security guards and civilian released the male to police custody. He was placed under arrest for theft. Police later determined the male taken into custody hadn’t stolen anything from the store but was banned from the store for assaulting one of the employees. Despite being asked several times to leave the store the male became combative pushing one of the security guards which resulted in the male having to be subdued until police arrival. One of the security guards said the male was being so combative that he and a bystander jumped into help the Save on Foods security guard restrain the male until police arrival. Despite the altercation, no charges are being contemplated and the male was lodged into police custody until sober. March 2 At 12:12 a.m. Williams Lake RCMP received a complaint

from an individual that their medication was stolen from a vehicle while parked on Borland Street. The family was attending

church when the theft occurred. The lock on the front passenger door was slightly damaged and may have been the point of

entry. The owner may have left the van unlocked as well. The medication was in a black bag that could have been mis-

taken for a purse. The owner of the medication was concerned that anyone taking the medication could be subjected to serious

harmful side effects if the medication was abused. There were no witnesses to the theft and no suspects have been identified.

Survey results released A survey of residents within the Central Cariboo recreation boundary shows a high level of awareness of the proposed project to renovate the Sam Ketcham Pool, and a high level of support in principle, says joint press release from the City of Williams Lake and Cariboo Regional District. The survey of 400 residents in the City of Williams Lake and portions of the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Electoral Areas D, E, F found that 75 per cent of people indicated they were familiar with the proposed project to renovate the pool, including the replacement of the main pool tank and the addition of a three-lane leisure pool featuring a lazy river and waterslide. Sixty-four per cent of respondents said they support major renovations to the pool. The statistically valid survey, conducted by Discovery Research in late January , also found: • 37 per cent of people were aware of the referendum on Nov. 15 to authorize the Cariboo Regional District to borrow up to $10 million for the $11.3 million project. • 73 per cent of respondents said they do not currently feel they had adequate information about the proposed renovations to make a decision. • 47 per cent of respondents indicated they needed more information on renovation details, 45 per cent said they need

more information on costs, and 31 per cent said they required additional information. Thirty percent indicated they wanted more information on the project’s effects on taxes. • 55 per cent of respondents indicated they will definitely vote in the referendum, with 28 per cent indicating they are somewhat likely to vote, 11 percent somewhat unlikely to vote, 3 per cent definitely not voting, and 3 per cent unsure. Fifty-eight percent of respondents live in the City of Williams Lake, and 42 percent in the Regional District. Thirty-four percent of respondents were in the 19-39 age group, 46 percent were in the 4065 age group, and 20 percent were in the 66+ age group. Respondents were represented equally by gender. A survey summary is available at the following websites: • Cariboo Regional District — cariboord. bc.ca • City of Williams Lake — williamslake. ca • Cariboo Memorial Complex — activewilliamslake.com. “We are very encouraged by the high level of awareness in the pool project and the planned participation in the referendum,” says Coun. Laurie Walters. “This is a very important project for our region, and we encourage everyone to learn about the pool renovations and make sure their voice is heard on Nov. 15 in the

referendum.” “Clearly there is more work to be done in making sure we have all of the information available for the public,” says CRD Electoral Area F director Joan Sorley. “We have some great resources in place now, and there will be more opportunities for residents to obtain the information they require to help them make an informed decision on Nov. 15.” A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document about the proposed Sam Ketcham Pool renovation and upgrade is available through the CRD, the City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Hard copies of the FAQ are available at these offices and are available on the aforementioned websites. Information posters featuring the recommended design concept for the pool, a cost breakdown, and other details are located at the Williams Lake City Hall, the CRD offices, the Williams Lake library, and the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. A Facebook page dedicated to helping provide information to residents and an opportunity for residents to ask questions can be found at facebook. c o m / S a m Ke t c h a m Pool. A Twitter feed can also be found at @SKPReferendum. Leading up to the referendum, information will be distributed through various other media channels.

Drumming exercise for mind and body Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Put 30 beginning drummers in a room and one might expect a an ear-shattering cacophony of noise. But that’s not what participants in Granville Johnson’s workshop found when they came together Saturday to learn how to play the djembe drum. On the contrary, when everyone starts to play following Johnson’s lead the sound is quite harmonious, says Chris Hornby, one of the 30 participants, most of whom she says were beginners. “We all blended,” Hornby says. “If you make a mistake you can’t tell because you have 29 other drummers around you.” The djembe is a goblet style drum originally from West African made from carved hardwood with a drumhead usually made from untreated rawhide, typically goatskin, and tuned with rope. It’s name means gather together in peace and defines the drum’s purpose. Johnson, who is a well-known instructor at the summer Arts on the Fly festival in Horsefly and Arts Wells Festival in Wells, was invited to teach the workshop in Williams Lake by Brenda Nor-

lakecity workshop. The four-hour afternoon session included a half -hour performance by Johnson at the end of the workshop. “It was a learning lesson for me,” Brenda says of organizing the workshop. “It was well worth it and so much fun. The next one will be much easier!” The $25 workshop fee included the loan of a drum and some people also bought their own drums, Hornby says. She says the drums provided were different sizes so you chose a drum size comfortable for your own body. It was also good exercise, Hornby says, because you wrap your legs around the bottom of the drum to hold it steady and sit on the edge of your chair to play it, relaxing between sets to listen to the lessons. “I would say it is a good workout because you have to have good posture for at least an hour at a time, a lot of upper body work,” Hornby says. She says sitting in a big circle was helpful because you had a good sightline to the instructor and could listen to what your fellow drummers were doing and try to blend with the group. “We learned a song called The Elephant Walk,” Hornby says.

She says they learned how to cup their hands to create a soft beat. They learned tempos and started with beats at the centre, or heart, of the drum and moved out to play around the rim. A multimedia artist, raised in Chicago, Johnson is a dual citizen of Canada and the U.S. who describes his music as a symbiosis of his cultural roots and global exposure. He makes his home in Sinclair Mills near Prince George with his partner Birgit Luesgen. Together they have a small Fair-Trade business importing drums and Bolga Baskets from Ghana. With the assistance of fellow musician Jeff Postnikoff, he leads a drum circle workshop session called Drumspeak. He has played the djembe (African drum) for 35 years, tongue drum and other percussion instruments. He describes his music as djembe jazz, digital collage. He is also a short story author, poet, and drum storyteller. He describes his music as improvised instrumental jazz based on traditional rhythms and phrasing combined with R & B styling. “Rhythmic funk boogie music to help every breathing body move to the groove.”

Miss Representation is a documentary film that exposes how mainstream media contributes to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence in America, says events co-ordinator Ashlee Turatus. “We will be exploring how women and girls are portrayed in media and how difficult it is for them to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself,” Turatus says. The trailer of the film is available at https://

FEELINGS

Your Preschooler and… Feelings Your child’s emotional development is also an important part of getting ready for school. Since birth, your child has been developing many emotions, from sad, to happy, to angry. Entry to school will be helped by learning to handle feelings appropriately. As part of emotional growth, your child will typically develop deeper qualities like caring, self esteem, flexibility and may better understand others’ feelings. All of these things will help him or her meet the challenges of school. Generally, your preschooler will begin to talk more about feelings and understand both negative and positive emotions. Being able to cope with frustration and anger typically improves between age three and Kindergarten. Preschoolers may begin to develop a sense of self esteem and confidence.

Try some of these with your preschooler: 1. Talk about feelings and what might cause them: “You are feeling really happy. Is it because we’re going to the park?” 2. Expand vocabulary using new words to describe your child’s feelings like “disappointed”, “frustrated”, “excited” and “surprised”. 3. Listen to and accept your child’s concerns. Reassure and comfort with a cuddle, showing the love that you have for your child. 4. Encourage your preschooler to talk about him or herself: “Tell me three things that you like to eat.” “Can you think of something that makes you happy?” 5. Pause while reading a book and ask your preschooler how a character might be feeling. 6. Show how to handle emotions positively yourself. Suggest to your child different ideas for coping with emotions and how you do it. 7. Address inappropriate behaviour immediately and calmly. Preschoolers usually have fewer tantrums, but may fight over things like toys. Help cope with tantrums by discussing afterward what helps your child feel better when experiencing frustration or anger. 8. Model patience and persistence in all your tasks. Children will learn to stick with things by acting like their parents.

Treat Yourself to a Visit from

Milner’s new book explores loss Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Cariboo author Donna Milner describes her new book as the story of a family dealing with loss and tragedy. “Julie and Ian buy a ranch in a remote fictional valley in the Chilcotin and are basically running away,” Milner said of the story’s main characters during a phone interview. The characters in Somewhere In-Between are living in a town very much like Williams Lake, Milner said. Dealing with a crumbling marriage and loss, the two adjust to living isolated, not only from the nearest city, but the jobs that once occupied them full time. When they buy the property, it’s conditional they allow an existing tenant to stay on. His name is Virgil Blue and Milner said many people in Williams Lake will recognize that name. “I actually used the name of a one-time resident of Williams Lake. He was an old cowboy. That’s all I used - his name.” One time she spied a

Milner began working on the novel three years ago. Because the original publisher was closing its doors, publication was held up until Caitlin Press picked it up. Unlike her first two novels, which were historical fiction and involved a lot of research, Somewhere In-Between required research about the weather, and what was

Milner was in real estate in Williams Lake for 20-something years. Milner and her husband have lived in the Cariboo for 40 years and presently live off the grid north of Williams Lake on a small lake. They do have Inter-

net and a magic jack phone so they are connected. While the couple in the story are “certainly” not based on Milner and her husband, Milner said people could say she was inspired by the fact they moved from living near the golf course in town to a remote location. When asked about her writing process, Milner said she likes to write in the morning and tells herself she cannot leave the room until she’s written two pages of longhand, “good, bad or indifferent.” “That seems to work,” she chuckled.

book she’s working on. “That’s a good thing I think. When it stops I’m nervous.” Milner knew local historical writer, Tribune community editor and columnist Irene Stanghoe, who offered her some insight into the various writing genres. “She told me once the difference between a reporter and a fiction writer is that a reporter writes from the head and a fiction writer writes from the heart. I thought that was pretty neat.” On Tuesday evening, Milner was informed her latest book is now number six on the BC Bestseller list this week. “I’m delighted to be on any list that includes one of my favourite authors, Jack Hodgins,” she said. A fourth book is now in the works and is set in the CaribooChilcotin as well. It spans two generations — the 1860s and the 1930s, she said. Somewhere In-Between is Milner’s third publication. Her novels After River and The Promise of Rain have been published in many languages.

The Family Caregiver Series covers the following topics: • Understanding Dementia • Understanding Communication • Understanding Behaviour • Planning for the Future • Self-Care for Caregivers

My Legacy screens Saturday her mother as a child. “My Legacy follows the often tenuous relationship between a mother and daughter made more complex by the legacy of residential school, taking us through a journey of healing the impacts of intergenerational trauma on trust, bonding, love and self worth,” Helen says. She explains that in making the film she explores the way people who have been abused often suppress their emotions as a way of coping with the abuse they have experienced, but in doing so they may push down the bad along with the

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Nationally acclaimed filmmaker Helen Haig-Brown will screen her new documentary film My Legacy this Saturday evening at the Gibraltar Room. The film was screened nationally last month on the Aboriginal People’s Television Network. “The night will be a celebration of the home the film was born in, and the many community members who were featured in and key to the making of the film,” HaigBrown says. She comes from the Yunesit’in (Stone Reserve) community in the Tsilhqot’in and grew up between the Chilcotin and Vancouver. She took two years of political science at university, then after discovering the medium of film in one of her courses, says she fell in love with the medium of film. Graduating from Capilano University’s Indigenous Independent Digital Film Program she has developed into an internationally celebrated, award-winning director and a leading talent in experimental documentary. Her film The Cave highlighting the Cariboo Chilcotin was lauded as one of Canada’s top 10 shorts in 2009 by Toronto International Film Festival. From Berlinale to Sun-

Noted Chilcotin and Canadian filmmaker Helen Haig-Brown will launch her new film at the Gibraltar Room Saturday evening. dance, her work has received prestigious acclaim being selected for screening in both festivals. My Legacy is part of Haig-Brown’s Legacy Series of one hour documentaries. She is also working on a full-length Legacy feature film and recently launched Legacy Interactive an “online community dedicated to honouring, healing, renewing, and transforming our indigenous legacy.” Haig-Brown says she was inspired to make My Legacy after her divorce, at a time when she was questioning her own ability to form strong relationships. In parts of the film she asks people what love means to them and hears that it means being really honest with another person, sharing the ugly parts of yourself as well as the good parts, as she describes it, being vulnerable, letting yourself be fully seen, warts and all.

In her quest to find the intimacy needed for real love she traces some of her problems back to the difficult relationship she had with

She hopes the film will help others in their healing journey – and not remain frozen in a sense of fear, anger and hopelessness. The film has some very moving scenes and people can expect laughter and tears, food and music at the screening. My Legacy will be shown at the Gibraltar Room at 6:30 p.m. this Saturday, March 8.

Blue Fins set ‘AA’ provs on fire Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Williams Lake Blue Fins head coach Chad Webb said he was blown away by his swimmers’ performances over the weekend in Chilliwack at the Swim BC ‘AA’ Short Course Championships. “This was the best meet for results and best times in the yearand-a-half I have been here and one of the best meets I have ever had in my 20 years of coaching,” Webb said. At the event, which ran Feb. 28 to March 2, it was the club’s older swimmers whose time it was to shine. Three new club records were set by swimmers 15 years and over in Chilliwack. “To have these older swimmers taking off that much time was unbelievable,” he said. “It is not often I am surprised by meet results, but this meet had quite a few big swims that left me saying,’Wow!’” On day one in Chilliwack it was the team of Ashley Beauchamp, Geneva Gordon and Kara Zavitz destroying their best time to win gold in the 200-metre individual medley, while Kelsey Blokland, Danika Robson, Chloe Sylvain and Beauchamp later took first in the 200-metre freestyle relay, beating the field by more than a second. Zavitz, meanwhile, swam to a gold medal in the 100-metre backstroke, beating her best time by more than two seconds to achieve her first ‘AAA’ qualifying time of the season.

Williams Lake Blue Fins swimmers Ashley Beauchamp, Kara Zavitz, Chloe Sylvain and Danika Robson celebrate following a gold-medal swim in the 200-metre medley relay at the B.C. ‘AA’ Provincial Swimming Championships in Chilliwack. On day two of the event it was a double gold and a bronze for Beauchamp. Zavitz, Beauchamp, Sylvain and Robson swam to a gold medal in the 200-metre medley, while Beauchamp, later, shattered her best time in the heats of the 200-metre breaststroke to post a ‘AAA’ qualifying time. In the finals Beauchamp took another four seconds off her 200-metre breaststroke time to almost post a Western Canadian standard time. Day three of provincials saw Zavitz and Beauchamp qualify

for the ‘AAA’ championships, both posting their second qualifying standards of the weekend. Zavitz raced to a gold medal in the 200-metre backstroke, beating her previous best time by more than five seconds, while Beauchamp, swam to silver in the 100-metre breaststroke. Beauchamp finished up her meet with a 15-second win in the 400-metre individual medley to clinch a third ‘AAA’ provincial time. Gordon, meanwhile, swam to a sixth-place finish in the 100-metre breaststroke, with Blokland

finishing eighth in the 200-metre backstroke. Leif Brandson and David Russell also had solid best-time performances. Webb pointed to Ashley Beauchamp’s 400-metre individual medley, 200-metre breaststroke and 200-metre individual medley, Danika Robson’s 100-metre and 400-metre freestyle, Geneva Gordon’s 200-metre individual medley, David Russell’s 100-meter butterfly and Kara Zavitz’ 100-metre and 200-metre backstroke as phenomenal achievements.

Huge Economic Opportunity Rejected Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook says words cannot capture the emotion she’s felt since the Government of Canada announced it will not approve permits allowing the $1.5-billion New Prosperity Gold-Copper Mine Project to proceed. “It is a far greater feeling than disappointment, and for residents, this is devastating and infuriating news,” says Mayor Cook. “This project would have had Canada-wide benefits, but nowhere will the effects be felt more than here in the Cariboo.” “The federal government has sent some strong messages throughout the country with this decision. The City has consistently said it supports responsible resource development, and the City and the people of the Cariboo will be watching future decisions very carefully.” In discussions with Taseko Mines Limited, the company said it is looking at all available options, and has not made any decisions at this time. “It’s not a productive use of our time to point fingers or blame,” Mayor Cook says. “If there’s anything I know about the people of the Cariboo, it’s that we are resilient and we don’t give up. We got through the first no decision on the Prosperity mine in 2010, we’ve got through mill closures, and we will get through this.” “We all have a choice on how we move forward, and my choice is to not let disappointment or disillusionment get in the way of the work we as community leaders need to do.” The mayor has already had discussions with proponent Taseko Mines, MP Dick Harris, MLA Donna Barnett, and Minister Coralee Oakes. The minister was at City Hall to meet with the mayor last week to discuss this matter further.

And for the third straight year, it came against a snake-bitten Williams Lake Stampeders squad who, after an 8-4 shellacking of the Steelheads Saturday, couldn’t find the energy in a do-or-die game three Sunday to put the Smithers club away, losing 5-2. After falling behind in the series following a 3-2 road loss on Feb. 22, the Stamps put on a show of speed and skill in game two of the series, serving notice the Steelheads’ path to the championship would not be easy. Five minutes in Williams Lake took the lead with a tally from Jassi Sangha, but the Steelheads answered back with one of their own shortly after. Up 2-1 in the second following a late firstperiod goal from Aar-

the puck in deep, forechecking hard and taking space away from the speedy Stamps. Williams Lake did have its chances early on as the Steelheads gave up a half-dozen oddman rushes, including three breakaways and a penalty shot. Steelheads’ netminder Tyler Perreault, however, stopped them all, silencing the Stampeders and the Williams Lake crowd. Lucas would draw first blood midway through the first period, before Steelheads’ forward Adam DeVries evened it up three minutes later on the power play, scoring on Stamps’ netminder Justin Foote, who stopped 31 of 36 shots in the contest. Smithers’ forward Darryl Young and Lucas each tallied in the second, sending the game into the third at a 2-2 deadlock. In the third, Young went to work, notch-

ing a hat trick to almost singlehandedly takeover the game. “All of those goals were the result of great plays by my teammates,” Young said. “I was just circling and they got me the puck.” Smithers’ Ryan

DeVries was named playoff MVP. The Williams Lake Stampeders will now turn their attention to the Coy Cup senior men’s ‘AA’ provincial hockey championship next week, March 1115, in Williams Lake.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Can Toyota’s Tundra ride alongside heavyweight brands like Ford, GM or Ram?

Tugging at the tails of top selling trucks If there is one segment of the auto business that takes dynamite to get people to change brands, it’s the full-size pickup truck category, I’m sure most of us know of someone who is a “Ford guy” or The Tundra is “Chevy diehard” owner, even as capable as and getting him or her to move to a new many of the domestic truck would be almost brands but in some impossible. ways it still has a way It wasn’t until the last to go to truly be an Toyota Tundra was introduced in 2007 that alternative to Ford, Toyota was a real conGM and Ram. tender. That 2007 Tundra and this refreshed 2014 Zack Spencer model are designed, engineered and even built in America, helping to pull loyal domestic buyers away. The Tundra is even as capable as many of the domestic brands but in some ways it still has a way to go to truly be an alternative to Ford, GM and Ram.

‘‘

’

is a step up from the lower trims but not nearly as supple and luxurious as the new batch of interiors from Ram and GM. Those trucks, in particular, have almost luxury-sedan interiors that make the driver forget they are in a truck. The Tundra, in comparison, is a bit stark, featuring a hard, simple plastic dash and door pieces that don’t compare. The centre screen is smaller than many competitors are, and the screen embedded in the instrument cluster is small. What has been improved is the overall layout of the centre console. The back seat is massive and flips up with just one hand to make room for interior storage. I found the last Tundra to have a very high seating position that limited headroom. This new 2014 seems to have a better seating position, no longer crimping headroom for taller drivers. Drive Powering the Tundra are two V8 gasoline engines. The base model has a 4.6L V8 with 310hp and 327 lb.-ft. of torque. The larger 5.7L has 381hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This is one area that the Toyota cannot compete; there is no V6 offered and no diesel (Ram only), which the domestic makers do offer. By limiting the available engine options and not having a heavy-duty model that will certainly diminish the

number of domestic buyers willing to give Tundra a try. On the road, I was surprised at just how rough the ride is in comparison to the all-new GM trucks, which really are like driving a big sedan. I would also place the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 a very close second in ride comfort. The Tundra is choppy on rough roads and the noise level is on the high side. Toyota claims to have improved ride quality on this refreshed 2014 model but I am not a fan of the ride. Verdict The Tundra is a capable truck. When equipped it can tow up to 4760 kg, which is on the high side in this class. What surprised me the most was the real “trucky” ride. I have had extensive seat time in all three domestic brands over the past year and I have to say that they are best sellers for a reason – the refinement is rather dramatic. The Lowdown Power: 4.6L V8 with 310hp or 5.7L V8 with 381hp Fill-up: 15.8L/11.0L/100km (city/highway 5.6L) Sticker price: $26,750-$54,000 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Looks As part of the 2014 redesign, Toyota went about setting up a slightly different look for each of its trim levels. Sold as an SR5, Limited and Platinum, each has a variation of the oversized front grille. The wheel openings are now larger and squarer, framing wheel sizes ranging from 18-inches on the SR5 and Limited and 20-inches on the Platinum. The Tailgate has a soft open feature, stopping it from slamming down, that is fantastic but there is no side step or ladder into the bed the way Ford and the new GM trucks have. Sold as a regular car, double cab or Crew Cab, there is a model for most buyers. Inside Just as the outside was redesigned to have a unique character for each trim, the inside mimics this idea. The Platinum model I tested is covered with a diamond pattern, or quilted look used on the leather seatbacks, side door inserts and dash front panel. It

Volvo circles the wagon for success By Keith Morgan

Las Vegas, Nevada – Volvo is hitching some of its revival hopes to a wagon – the 2015 Volvo V60 Sportswagon. Its grille is clearly all-Volvo but those typically boxy looks that characterized the make from your dad’s day are gone. In looks it’s a design variation of the S60 sedan and it will be a welcome sight for loyalists of the Swedish brand, having witnessed the demise here of the V50 and midsize V70 wagons. The wagon featured recently along with the S60 and XC60 crossover at a launch event in the Nevada desert. The Volvo execs present proudly talked about their new Drive-E powertrains, developed thanks to the megabucks available now that the company is owned by the Chinese Geely Automotive. Ford ownership may now be retreating in Volvo’s rearview mirror but it is still beholden to the US manufacturer for the platforms upon which these three 2015 models ride. That will change later this year when the full-size XC90 crossover is set to sit atop Volvo’s so-called Scalable Product Architecture platform. Model year 2014 saw a refresh of all three midsize Volvo models showing in the desert so this was truly about the new engines.

The T5-equipped wagon is a smooth operator in performance and ride ... while you won’t burn rubber at the green light; it will take off when necessary.

’’

Keith Morgan

The Drive-E family of gas, diesel and hybrid (the latter not yet, but soon) engines are built around a single, 2.0-litre four-cylinder powerplant. It’s a brave gamble, worthy of Vegas, when you ponder the XC90 relying on such a small engine. Asked if this were a safe bet, the Swedes just smiled and promised the performance of the four-cylinder configuration will equal their big brothers by using such technologies as direct fuel injection, turbocharging, supercharging and . . . electrification. Here in the Great White North, just the two gas engines will be offered initially — the new turbocharged T5 pumps out 240 horsepower, while the turbo’ed and supercharged T6 adds another 62 horses. The base front-wheeldrive V60 T5, with a new

eight-speed automatic transmission, will set you back $39,800. Volvos have never been cheap. The other three Sportswagons will continue to use existing powerplants, six-speed automatic transmissions and Haldex all-wheel-drive systems. Did a little shopping off the strip in the XC60, which came into its own, its cavernous rear swallowing up my bulky purchases. I’ll reserve comments on the crossover until I’ve had a chance to put it through its paces in B.C. However, I got much more seat time in the V60 and S60 (S60 with T5 $37,750. T6 $42,850), taking in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Valley of Fire state park and Red Rock Canyon. The T5-equipped wagon is a smooth operator in performance and ride. And while you won’t burn rubber at the green light, it will take off when necessary . . . not that we got any chance to pass in the low speed limit state park! Volvo says it will hit 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds if given the lead foot treatment. (The T6 in sedan tells a slightly racier story. OK, maybe I’m exaggerating but only a little and I look forward pressing the pedal to the metal where I can legally do so.) The T5 fuel economy ratings fare well in comparison with the market competition – 9.4/6.3/8.1 L/100km (city/hwy/com-

bined). These numbers are squeezed out of the power plant with the help of the standard engine stop/start system and the efficient new eight-speed transmission, which slips into a neutral coasting mode when you lift your foot off the gas. Inside, the instrument panel stretches the span of the car and features an attractive floating centre console, which mixes good looks with functionality. Swedes are safety conscious, of course, and that means lane change, cross traffic, blind spot warnings and alerts. The front seating is comfortable if a little soft on a long drive. Rear seating ditto and headroom is good despite the coupe-style slope of the rear. And a good view of the road fore, fore aft and side is enjoyed by all. Great stowage room in the rear. The 40/20/40 split second row folds flat to provide enough space to move a small apartment’s furniture. Just kidding but you get the picture.

Lifesaving cold weather fun on four wheels By Alexandra Straub

The man from BMW once called me a hooker. Surprisingly, I wasn’t that offended. I actually laughed at such a descriptor, as did everyone else around me. I didn’t feel so bad because I wasn’t the only one in the group labelled thusly at the brand’s Driver Training; a full day of driving 3 Series sedans (back then) to improve our own car control. I didn’t have too many years of driving experience back then but I unfortunately I had picked up a few bad habits on the road. What’s a ‘hooker’, according to the instructors at the German automaker’s training? Someone who hooks his or her hand into the steering wheel when making a turn. It’s a big boo-boo and not an effective way to drive. It’s also totally unsafe should an accident occur in the process. Needless to say, pointing out the ‘hooker’ in me caused me to change my habits for the better. And in the most recent installment of learning car control with BMW, no such noun was used when relating to my technique. Thank goodness. It’s minus 15 degrees at the ICAR track in Mirabel, Quebec. The sun is out and there’s a lineup of all-new 435i coupes just begging to be driven.

Alexandra Straub

Some are equipped with the brand’s all-wheel drive system. Some are rear-wheel drive. Regardless, I’ll have my way with both configurations by the end of the day, so to speak. The adventure is better known as the Winter Driver Training program, offered exclusively at the ICAR location. That said, you don’t need to own a BMW to participate. Learning car control in less than perfect circumstances is available to all who have $795. In my opinion, it’s money extremely well spent. The day starts out with an in-class session that goes over theory and what will be executed throughout the various exercises. It’s kept relatively short so we have more drive time.

with and without electronic help, to put both power and performance to the test. Oh yeah. Proper seating position is outlined when we initially get behind the wheel. Then we’re off. You might ask what is the point behind putting one of BMW’s latest products sideways on an ice track in subzero temperatures. My initial answer is only three letters long and to the point: fun. But that’s only a byproduct of what the impetus behind the program is; a program that started back in 1977 and is now offered in 35 countries. The main goal is safety. It’s designed to introduce drivers to techniques that might help correct the car if it is not doing what you want it to for whatever reason. For example, if your wheels are pointed in one direction, but your car is going straight ahead, what should you do? That’s called understeer. The instinctual thing to do is keep adding more steering, but that won’t help. Ease off the throttle and try to straighten your wheel so your tires can regain grip. Or, if you feel the back end of the car breaking loose,

Alexandra Straub driving a course at BMW’s Driver Training. how do you wrangle it in? You countersteer and don’t lift off the throttle. It sounds easier said than done, but the techniques do work! Putting yourself and the 435i through the paces in a safe and controlled environment is the best place to learn. If you spin out, you’re not going to go into oncoming traffic. You just stop, turn the car around, and keep going. You’ll probably giggle a little in the process and tell yourself you’ll “get it next time.”

Heck, if you knock over a few cones, no one will judge you either. It’s all part of the process. There are also dynamic braking exercises that teach you how the car reacts when you have ABS, and what you can do in these conditions. You’ll even learn reverse 180s. Philippe Létourneau is

Where the rubber hits the road matters in tire selection By Ian Harwood

Tires are one of the most important features of the truck when it comes to improving its ride. It is vital to make the right choice and then maintain them so they last for a long time. Before you choose the best tire for your truck, it is essential to understand the terms of the truck tire world. Tires for example are specified in this form 265/75R/16. The first number is the width of the truck tire, the second number is the aspect ratio or height of the sidewall and the third number is the wheel diameter or rim size. The height of your sidewall is important and should be chosen based on the conditions where you drive your truck most often. If you only drive on the street

If you only drive on the street then a low profile truck tire will be fine, but if you go off-roading then you are going to want more tire in between your rim and the ground.

’’

then a low profile truck tire will be fine, but if you go off-roading then you are going to want more tire in between your rim and the ground. That way you will not bottom out on the rims when the tires encounter rough terrain off-road.

Wider tires have more contact area with the ground, thus giving your truck a better grip, both on and off road. Your truck’s handling becomes easier because of the bigger tire width. On the other hand, the same wider truck tire will make more noise and may decrease the fuel efficiency of the truck. Wider tires can also slip more when it rains, not that it rains much in Vancouver. The size of the rim is a personal preference. The larger sized rims are popular today. Just make sure that the rim and truck tire you choose will fit inside the wheel well of the truck, and don’t forget to upgrade your brakes to help stop this increase in weight. The wheel rim width varies from truck to truck. It can be custom made to suit both on and off road driving conditions. The

wheel rim width is rounded off to the nearest half inch of the tire. Usually, the best choice is to have the rim width at about 90 percent of the tread width of the tire. The most important safety aspect of maintenance on your truck is to keep its tires intact and in good shape. A blown tire can cause an accident in an instant. The number one cause of the tire wear and tear is incorrect tire pressure. All the tires on the truck should have consistent air pressure to carry the weight equally. Adequate air pressure is important for a good tire life, handling, and traction. Look through your owner’s manual, on the sticker inside the driver’s door, or look on the tire itself to find the correct air pressure that you need to maintain them. Seasonal changes can affect

justice at 141 Mile House Barry Sale SMART 55 I thought that I would relate the story of another murder during the gold rush era, and then I’ll move on to other events in subsequent columns. This one deals with the death of Tom Clegg, who lived in Lillooet during the 1850s and early 1860s. He was a trusted employee of the firm of E.T. Dodge and Co., which transported goods to and from the Cariboo goldfields. In the summer of 1863, Clegg was sent up to Barkerville to collect monies due to the company. He was accompanied on this trip by Captain Joe Taylor of Seton Lake, who was a friend and partner with Tom Clegg’s brother. Clegg collected the debts owed to the company, and the two men began heading back to Lillooet on horseback. Clegg was carrying about 50 pounds of gold dust, worth about $10,000 in his saddlebags. On their trip south,

the men stayed overnight at the original Williams Lake village (located in the area we commonly call the Dairy Fields), then set out the next morning and rode to the 141 Mile road house, arriving there for a mid-day dinner. After eating, watering their horses, and rearranging some of their gear, they headed south again. They were only a quarter of a mile or so along the Cariboo Wagon road, climbing the hill, when two men attacked them from the bushes at the side of the road. In the ensuing struggle, Tom Clegg was killed why Captain Taylor managed to escape, although his horse suffered a bullet wound. The Lillooet newspaper of Aug. 28, 1863

describes the event as “a most horrid coldblooded murder,” and goes on to say that “Poor Tom Clegg was shot dead, one ball going through his head behind the ears, and several shots entering his body.” The robbers searched Clegg’s body and his belongings for the gold, but found virtually nothing. In an interesting twist, during the stop for dinner, Captain Taylor had volunteered to carry the heavy gold dust on his horse for a while in order to give Clegg’s horse a break. So Clegg’s saddlebags were empty, and there was little of value to be found. The two thieves beat a hasty retreat and headed south. Meanwhile, Taylor had ridden back to 141 Mile where word was soon passed along about the ambush and murder.

Glennard shot him.” Armitage was found guilty and hanged at Lillooet in late October 1863. Before he was hung, he gave the local magistrate some personal belongings to be sent to his family back in England, and he asked that for the sake of his family’s honour, they not be told that he had been executed, rather that he died of a broken neck by a fall from a horse, which was, in a strange way, the truth. Thomas Clegg was buried at the side of the road right near the spot where he was killed. For many years afterwards, the freight drivers and stagecoach operators would stop and toss a rock or pebble onto the gravesite as they passed by. Eventually, quite an impromptu cairn was built up. Today, the gravesite is still there, although it is hard to find. It sits on the little island of land just up the 140 Mile hill with the old highway on the right and the new Highway 97 on the left as you travel south. It is a reminder that here in the Cariboo, we too had our wild west episodes of robbery, murder and frontier justice.

to Bridge Creek (100 Mile House), then to the Green Lake Brigade Trail which led to the Bonaparte River near Cache Creek, and then to the Thompson River. As they were attempting to cross the Thompson, one of the men, an American identified as Fred Glennard, was drowned. His body was recovered downriver in mid September. The second man doubled back and was captured hiding out in a hut near Cache Creek. He was William Armitage, an English remittance man. A remittance man is a person, often of aristocratic lineage, who had been in trouble in England and who had been sent to the colonies and was paid a stipend to stay away from the “old country.” When searched, Clegg’s distinctive pistol was found on Armitage and he was taken to Lillooet, charged, and jailed. The newspaper noted that “Everyone turned out to view the animal.” At first, Armitage admitted to the crime, but in his trial before Judge Matthew Begbie, he declared “I did not shoot Clegg. Fred

Hockey keeps Ike Kalelest busy. The 73-year-old has seven grandchildren playing hockey in Williams Lake and he attends all their practices and games, often giving rides. When the Stampeders are playing in town, he’s a regular goal judge, something he’s done “forever.” During the Coy Cup being hosted here next week he has signed up to judge every game. “I’ve never had an incident with the goal judging,” Kalelest said at the rink Saturday evening before the Stamps game. “I try to do the best job I can.” When it comes to the NHL, he doesn’t hesitate to disclose that his team is the Philadelphia Flyers. He’s been a fan since the team’s inception. “I liked the Watson brothers, they were from Smithers.” His team isn’t doing

Goal tending has been a problem.” He watches the games whenever he can and said hockey is really the only sport he likes to watch. Growing up in Canoe Creek Kalelest did not have much time for hockey. There were hockey teams at the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School he attended,

and he played a bit but was never good enough to make a team, he recalled. Like many people, he remembers being transported to the school as a small boy. It was 1949, he was six years old, and the children road to the school on a cattle truck. “School was more like a prison,” he said. Kalelest left school after Grade 7 and went to work for the BC Cattle Company at Canoe

Creek, staying on for 15 years doing odd jobs. “Then I worked at Gang Ranch for a number of years as a working cowboy,” he said. His mom, Helen Sargent, was a single mom raising three children in Canoe Creek. She had horses and her children enjoyed riding the horses. They also went fishing in the summers with their mom. The name Kalelest was his father Peter Alec’s last name and means “three stones.” In 1978, Kalelest moved to Williams Lake with his family of four children and went into logging. He worked logging all over the Williams Lake area, first as a bucker and later as a cat skinner building logging roads. When his back started giving him grief, he retired at 63. His doctor warned him he might end up in a wheelchair so he had some back surgeries and ever since he has enjoyed good health. He’s also a great grandpa with six great grandchildren living in Fort St. John and Grande Prairie he tries to visit so that also keeps him busy. As he was sitting on a bench in the arena lobby a young player came up to say hello. “We won our game,” the young hockey player told him. Watching the youngster walk away Kalelest smiled. “I’ve had a good life here in Williams Lake,” he said.

Williams Lake Senior's Village staff and residents honour their recreation department with cake and accolades last week as part of Recreation Month in February. Those honoured were: Dora See, Wendy Fontaine, Sylke Duschi, Sherry Magee, Janet Catalano and Kristan Friesen.

Caregiver information series offered Angie Mindus SMART 55 The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is presenting a family caregiver series as well as a workshop on understanding challenging behaviour in Williams Lake next week. Hosted by the Williams Lake Senior’s Village (WLSV), the family caregiver series is a five-session series aimed at family members who are caring for a person with dementia. Family members can lean about dementia, practical coping strategies, early planning and more. “It’s really important that people talk about dementia and Alzheimer’s.” says

Laurette Vike of the WLSV. “It’s a disease. It’s not something people should be embarrassed to talk about.” The family caregiver series covers the topics; understanding dementia, understand communication, uningderstanding behaviour, planning for the future and self-care for caregivers. The series is scheduled for Tuesday, March 11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the education room at the WLVS. Cost is by donation and pre-registration is required. Then on Wednesday, March 12 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the WLSV, the society is presenting a workshop

on understanding challenging behaviour. This is an educational session for staff or family members who are caring for a person with dementia. Attendees will learn about practical coping strategies, tools for meaningful communication with a person with Alzheiner’s disease or another dementia, and tips for understanding how a person with dementia might communicate. For more information or to pre-register,

contact Elizabeth Canjura-Jelks at 250-3053191. Ejelks@retirementconcepts.com. Vike said Alzheimer’s or dementia can be a devastating disease for families, however there is support out there for those who need it. As well as the workshops presented next week, the WLSV also hosts a monthly support meeting for spouses or children that care for loved ones affected by the disease.

It was so great to be able to watch our Canadian Olympians perform during the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. The whole affair was first class.
