Prescribed burns are planned for areas near Chimney and Felker Lakes between April 7 and mid-May, says the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. The burns will be managed by the ministry’s Recreation Sites and Trails Branch and conducted with assistance by Wildfire Management Branch staff from the Cariboo Fire Centre. These burns are intended to lower wildfire hazards at the Felker Lake Recreation Site, Chimney Lake Recreation Site (north site) and Chimney Lake Recreation Site (central site). Prescribed burns are only ignited if weather conditions are suitable, to ensure that the fire does not get out of control and that it does not create excessive smoke, the ministry says. Additionally, a series of ecosystem restoration burns west and south of Williams Lake are planned between April 3 and mid-May 2014, weather conditions permitting. These prescribed

NEWS Tragic life of Anaham teen focus MLA responds of government response to report Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Born to a violent mother, she struggled in school with undiagnosed disabilities. She endured physical and emotional abuse within her home and community. Just two weeks shy of her 15th birthday, with a mouth full of abscessed teeth and likely the victim of sexual assaults, life proved overwhelming for a First Nations girl from Anaham Reserve. The painful details of that short, tragic life which ended in suicide three years ago, are the focus of a critical report and a series of resulting government meetings aimed at improving services for First Nations communities. Lost in the Shadows: How a Lack of Help Meant a Loss of Hope for One First Nations Girl was released in February by Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, Representative for Children and Youth. Her 110-page report recounts the girl’s life from birth to death, concluding there was a virtual collapse of government services meant to protect her and children like her. With up to seven child protection workers theoretically assigned to the area between 2007 and 2011, Turpel-Lafond discovered that in reality
SPECIAL FEATURE
Lost in the
Shadows there were at most four, and in 2011 only one in the Cariboo Chilcotin region. In response to the report findings, the Ministry of Children and Family Development recently indicated in an e-mail it is currently recruiting to fill three vacant full-time social worker positions in the region. In the meantime, additional senior staff have been brought in to work with staff in the main office in Williams Lake.
Turpel-Lafond’s report paints an acutely painful picture of a child impacted by a mother suffering from a severe mental illness that went mostly untreated, and being raised by her grandparents with little support and few services to help. Learning challenges meant the girl struggled in school, but she was still passed from one grade to the next and never received a formal assessment while at School District 27,
It draws attention to the real issues we are facing in our community and it’s important the report doesn’t go by the wayside.” - Chief Joe Alphonse according to TurpelLafond, who noted the girl enjoyed wrestling, but often got in trouble at school for violent behaviour towards others. Turpel-Lafond said the girl was resilient, but suspected that incidences of sexual abuse by a peer and an older member of the community made her life become increasingly difficult to cope with. Even in death, the child was going unrecognized — a coroner’s report made no recommendations — spurring Turpel-Lafond to write her report, which revealed there were a number of services and supports the girl did not receive during her short life, likely contributing to her suicide. “One of the major reasons for this (death) was the failure of the professionals involved in her life to recognize and assess the identified
cognitive limitations and potentially negative consequences for a child growing up with a parent with an acute mental illness,” TurpelLafond said in the days following the release of the explosive report. Anaham Chief Joe Alphonse, who chose last month to publicly identify his community as being where the girl lived, was present at the first government meeting held in Victoria last week to address the report. He said everyone holds blame in the tragedy and hopes by talking about it openly, cases such as this won’t happen again. “It was good to hear Mary Ellen present the report,” Alphonse said. “It draws attention to the real issues we are facing in our community and it’s important the report doesn’t go by the wayside.”
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer It’s tragic that the life of a girl at the heart of an investigative report went unnoticed until after her death, said Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. Last week in Victoria, Barnett and other members of the Select Standing Committee on Children and Youth met with Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, Representative for Children and Youth to discuss Lost in The Shadows: How a Lack of Help Meant a Loss of Hope for One First Nations Girl. “There’s always someone out there to be a good friend – an aunt, a friend’s mother, a counsellor or somebody,” Barnett told the Tribune. “It appears in the report that she trusted no one, she was scared and she was sexually abused... What a terrible thing.” The report was well done and factual, Barnett said, adding it’s tough to hear the details. “To think that young people go through this; it doesn’t matter which community people come out of, and
to think that young people have these barriers.” Barnett said the Representative for Children and Youth does a good job in her investigations. This particular report showed that tragedies happen, and they start when doors are closed and there’s no collaboration between people, said Barnett, who is not blaming anyone specifically, but agrees there was a shortage of staffing in the Ministry of Children and Family Development during the time period covered by the report. “I know because I was working with other constituents,” she said. “Staff were off on maternity leave, stress leave, and I know the ministry did bring a team in to work on all the cases.” Barnett has had a “very emotional” conversation with the community’s leadership, and said they are committed to moving forward. “I know we can move ahead if the community wants to,” Barnett said. “Because of this I’m sure there’s much more hurt in the community and they are still suffering from this incident.”
School board will not close schools to balance budget Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Despite ongoing financial pressures the School District 27 board will not be
closing any schools to balance its 2014/15 budget. The trustees made the decision during a closed meeting Tuesday, March 25, states
a board press release issued Friday by Chair Tanya Guenther. “With continued declining enrolment, the gradual loss of
our funding protection from the Ministry of Education, and other increased costs, we are in a position where we are not done making
difficult decisions,” Guenther said. “As we carefully examine all of our programs, the continuation of the balanced calendar
program at Cataline Elementary is one of the programs the board is going to discuss.” The school board will be discussing the
balanced calendar program at the April 29 meeting. This is a new meeting date, changed from the previously advertised date of April 22.

Safety talk aims to inspire Tolko workers wasn’t hitting them soft, I was hitting them hard.” I led my team with the highest number of home runs. That cured 95 per cent of my depression.” Then when Worksafe BC gave him the choice to return to work or go to school, he chose to return to work. Within a month, however, he left because he realized his wrist, elbow and shoulder wouldn’t last the tasks he was being given and if he damaged his one good arm he’d be able to help himself even less. Eventually he learned from WorkSafeBC he was eligible for a pension until he was 65 years old. Today he works part-time for the Howe Sound Rehabilitation Society, working with adults with disabilities and contracts with WorkSafeBC’s Young Worker Program. He spoke to many Tolko employees in Williams Lake.
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Mark Johnson believed he was invincible until a workplace injury changed his life. “The only time I ever thought I’d be up in front of people talking was to be a stand-up comedian,” the 28-year-old Maple Ridge resident told a group of employees at Tolko’s Soda Creek sawmill Friday before he shared his injury story, relating how at the age of 21, he lost the use of his left arm completely. Tolko’s safety committee chairpersons Ken Hunt and Kulvinder Khakh invited Johnson to the sawmill to speak to crews. “Safety in the workplace is number one,” Hunt said. Johnson had been working at the mill for nine months, starting out on the green chain, moving to forklift driving, and eventually made it to cleanup crew. There was only one person on each cleanup crew — it was a smaller, family-owned operation. Cleanup was Johnson’s dream job. He could put his head down and work hard, he said. In fact, he was told by his managers repeatedly he could be trusted and no one needed to check up on him. That dedication almost cost him his life. On Sept. 18, 2006, his first night back on a twoweek stretch of nights, Johnson was cleaning underneath a conveyor belt that ran to the chipper. He had locks for locking down machines, but decided not to slow down operation and left the machinery on.

Reaching in with his rubber gloved hand, he started scooping some chips that were stuck. Before he knew it, his whole left arm got pulled right into the conveyer belt, wrapping around the roller, breaking his forearm in half. And the machine didn’t stop. “I don’t know if there are a lot of people who can pinpoint when they’ve done the stupidest thing in their life, but I can,” Johnson said. After screaming solidly for 15 minutes as loud as he could, he had no voice left. The damage had gone up his arm, through his high visibility vest and shirt, and ripped the skin off his back. He was sure he was dead when suddenly the machine shut down, and Johnson began screaming again. “I could hear other
people working and the other machines going. The only way someone was going to find me was for the belt to stop and the wood to back up.” When that happened and another employee arrived to see what was going on, he spied Jackson’s legs, hit three horns for an emergency multiple times. Fellow workers got him out of the machine, fire and ambulance crews arrived, and he was taken to Royal Jubilee Hospital in New Westminster. Later he would learn he lost two pints of blood. Johnson had several surgeries, but in the end the use of his arm was not restored. He spent a lot of time “thinking and feeling sorry for myself.” His attitude changed one day because his baseball coach called him up and encouraged him to come and play. “I had to call my coach over to tie up my cleats. He said he hadn’t had
to tie anyone’s laces in years.” After practice that first night back, Johnson discovered he could bat the ball with his one arm. “To my coach’s surprise and mine I was hitting almost everyone he pitched to me and I

Fair Elections Act anything but fair
Celebrating Lynette Cobb
I
I
nstead of swanning around in foreign countries defending democracy, Prime Minister Stephen Harper might give a thought to practicing what he preaches at home. Harper critics continually carp about his high-handed way of governing, but his proposed Fair Elections Act (Bill C-23) is drawing fire from friend and foe alike. As political columnist Andrew Coyne put it, there is not only almost universal expert opposition to the bill, there is a widely held suspiFrench cion that far from Connection merely flawed, it is Diana French expressly designed to tilt the next election in the Conservatives’ favour. As might be expected, watchdog groups such as the Council of Canadians, LeadNow.ca, civil liberties organizations and Opposition parties are having fits over the bill, but Mr. Coyne’s critique, which appeared in the Vancouver Sun and the National Post, comes from a different direction. It echoes what present and former Canadian and provincial elections officials and newspaper editorials are saying, that the Bill is a threat to democracy. Some 160 Canadian university professors have voiced alarm, and in a letter to The Globe and Mail, 19 academic experts from seven countries (including the UK and USA) said the Harper bill would to be deeply damaging for electoral integrity within Canada, as well as providing an example which, if copied elsewhere, may potentially harm international standards of electoral rights around the world. The critics say that along with undermining the integrity of our electoral process, the bill would muzzle Elections Canada, reduce voting rights, expand the role of money in politics and foster partisan bias in election administration. The expert opinions plus numerous citizens’ rallies across the country add up to unprecedented opposition to the Fair Elections Act, but my guess is that Mr. Harper will barge ahead and ram it through Parliament. I hope I’m wrong, but what does he have to lose? Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.
Our Viewpoint
Lost in the Shadows As the federal government’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission wrapped up this weekend in Edmonton, we are sadly reminded once again of the continued suffering of many of our First Nations people, including communities here. Government officials met in Victoria last week with the author of the report Lost in the Shadows: How a Lack of Help Meant a Loss of Hope for One First Nations Girl. The report was released in February and recounts the tragic life and death of a 14-year-old girl from Anaham Reserve, who took her own life just two weeks shy of her 15th birthday in 2011. The independent report tells a tragic tale of untreated mental illness and inadequate government services, placing heavy blame for the girl’s death on the failings of those government safety nets, particularly the local Ministry of Children and Family Development. It is truly unimaginable to believe that this happened here — only three years ago.
When the report was released, the author requested that the public and media respect the privacy of the family and the community. However, Anaham Chief Joe Alphonse stepped forward, acknowledging the young victim was from his community. In doing so, Alphonse is inviting everyone into the discussion for a better future for his people and that of many other First Nations communities across the province. Our condolences go out to the family and community, who are still grieving the loss of this little girl. As we delve into this detailed report and its lengthy recommendations in the coming weeks and months, we hope to achieve exactly what the federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission is trying to do — and that is to identify a healthy way forward, together, and ensure these tragedies don’t ever happen again.

That is why it is my pleasure to dedicate this column to a great Williams Lake volunteer and model citizen of our region, Lynette Cobb. This year Lynette was chosen by an independent advisory council to be a recipient of this year’s 2014 BC Community Achievement Awards. These awards recognize and celebrate the spirit, MLA imagination, Musings dedication and Donna Barnett contribution of British Columbians to their communities throughout the Province. There is no doubt that she is worthy of this award. She has spent her life devoted to helping others less fortunate and a positive role-model for the people of Williams Lake. I have known Lynette for more than 30 years. Not only is she a mother and wife, but she was a small business owner of a ladies wear store in Williams Lake. It was during this time that Lynette was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Not one to let this often devastating illness change her life, she persevered with all of her activities until it became physically impossible to manage a business. Lynette has been a tireless advocate and supporter of the Crisis and Counselling Centre at the Canadian Mental Health Association. Over the years, Lynette has volunteered almost 48,600 hours to this worthy cause. She has also volunteered over 3,000 hours for the RCMP victim services, and created a support group for others who are dealing with Multiple Sclerosis through a MS self-help group. Lynette is an example of an exceptional individual who gives selflessly of herself. Her positive spirit, kindness and sunny disposition are seen in her actions towards helping others. Join me in congratulating Lynette Cobb for winning this award and thank her for incredible community work. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

More Viewpoints Outrageous white noise? Question of the week Editor:
begets knowledge, the latter ignorance (Hippocrates).” This “fact” applies. Canada irrationally/ ignorantly dismisses climate science. Clues to deceit? Private-profit and revenue. Leaders of Canadian industry, commerce, labour, political parties, municipal, provincial, national government “bank” on pathological OCD global economic growth ... maximizing global consumption of Canada’s fossil fuels. Canadian Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq opines dogmatic Canadian fossil-fuel industry above impartial peer-reviewed 2013 IPCC science(9/27/13). Impartial peerreviewed scientific climate knowledge moves/draws democracy from irrational ignorance. In 2014/15, personal and collective democratic belonging/empathy/participation requires scientific climate literacy, consistent with existing degrees of global democratic mutual help. Democratically, Canada can commit to global climate goals in Paris 2015 with enforced global GHG cuts for global common
Outrageous white noise? Future generations are irreversibly/inescapably trapped — herded into a hotter planet of melting ice and rising seas. Climate scientists report Greenland and Antarctica have lost 200 billion metric tons of ice yearly since 1992. Global ice melt accelerates. With fossil-fuels, a massively global pathological OCD(obessive-compulsive-disorder) growth economy, exponentially degrades/destroys/ravages/savages this unique cosmic biosphere (i.e. Teztan Biny experience?) Reality check. It’s unsustainable! Canada’s national stance steadily creeps/speeds toward runaway global climate change. Canada opposes 140 global nations who agreed with global-warming kept below 2C (in carbon-neutral 2026 planning Copenhagen, Dec. ‘09). Canada irrationally dismisses this global goal. “There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former
interest. Maximized global consumption of Canadian fossil-fuels is anti-democratic uncommon hostile private-interest, self-absorbed, outrageously sacrificing/cannibalizing future generations. The 2014/15 crossroad for mankind’s future, or its decline/demise, is here. Dogmatic Canadian fossilfuel production for global consumption must be cut sufficiently, between 2020/2030, to stop runaway greenhouse gas effects within this century. Planned implementation by 2020 is now. This generation has democratic ability to stop homosapiens’ most crudest/costliest/cruelest inhuman debacles — anti-human warfare and manmade irreversible runaway globalwarming. Our children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, will know. This generation democratically chose ignorance or knowledge in 2014 for future generations. Outrageous white noise?

Answer to problems isn’t spending gov’t funds Editor: I was disappointed to learn from Mr. Atwood (in a letter printed in the March 19 Tribune) that he thinks things will be fine in our area even without the new mine. His answer to all our problems appears to be the expenditure of more government funds, the lack of which led our forest industry into disarray starting some 40 years ago. The only saviour mentioned by name was Carrier Lumber who made a huge investment out west when they took on the pine beetle
single handed. I am aware of the investment made by that company as I visited their logging operations and mill site in 1984/85. Yes, they received the benefit of low stumpage rates for that lower quality wood but then so did the industry as a whole. But, if we did not have the “free enterprisers” willing to make the substantial dollar investments in the mills and mines, where would we be today? If we are going to wait for government funding to improve our economy we now have to wait a
little bit longer since the tax dollars that would have been derived from the Prosperity project are no longer available. Those of us who have tax paying jobs and work for tax paying businesses would have appreciated the inflow of funds that New Prosperity could have injected into our communities. And, perhaps our school boards and other local government agencies might have been grateful for a little shot in the arm as well. Peter Philpotts Williams Lake

NDP hopefuls downplay Harcourt’s rejection Tom Fletcher Black Press Former premier Mike Harcourt’s disenchantment with the NDP is a sign of the challenge ahead for the party after last year’s election loss, leadership candidates John Horgan and Mike Farnworth said Tuesday. Harcourt has let his party membership lapse and gave several interviews this week to ex-

press his disappointment with the NDP’s performance in the 2013 election. Harcourt told the Globe and Mail he is not sure if his decision to quit the party is “a trial separation or a decree absolute,” but he won’t be voting in the leadership contest in September. Horgan said he has spoken with Harcourt in recent weeks about the party’s standing in rural B.C., particularly after leader
Adrian Dix’s mid-campaign decision to oppose the expansion of the Trans-Mountain oil pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby. “The message it sends to me is that I have a lot of work to do,” Horgan said. “I have a lot of work to convince Mike Harcourt and other New Democrats and all British Columbians that there’s a better way for us to proceed, a balanced approach to the
economy and the environment.” Harcourt, the former Vancouver mayor who served as premier from 1991 to 1996, endorsed Farnworth in the 2011 leadership campaign. Farnworth said Tuesday he agrees with Harcourt’s criticism, and the struggle to balance resource development with environmental concern has a long history in the NDP. It was Harcourt who faced the “war in the
woods” in the 1990s over coastal logging and came up with land use plans that still serve B.C. today, he said. “I think Mike is saying what he thought, and it’s reflective of the comments we heard after the election last May,” Farnworth said. NDP members vote this fall on their choice to succeed Dix, with results to be revealed Sept. 28.

MORE VIEWPOINTS British Columbia’s Blue Box battle Kelvin McCulloch CEO, Buckerfield’s A few months back, I received a notification which advised me that I had to declare whether Buckerfield’s was a ‘producer’ of printed paper or packaging material. If so, we would have to implement an ‘approved stewardship plan’ to deal with the material. Otherwise we would have to join another ‘stewardship plan’ and pay fees to that plan holder. I thought it was a scam. But I looked into it further and determined that there was indeed regulatory provisions in effect which stated this very thing and according to the regulations, Buckerfield’s is now a ‘producer’ of printed paper and packaging material, with the best example being our Buckerfield’s feed bags. I then discussed the alternatives with a Ministry of Environment official and came to realize that we had no choice but to join the only approved stewardship plan in the province, Multi Material BC (MMBC). We signed the MMBC contract. But we also read it. And it stated that MMBC had to file audited financial statements on its web site. I recently went to the web site and there are no audited financial statements. Now, several months later, I have discovered the following: • MMBC is a corporation under the Societies Act comprised of three directors, two of which live in Ontario. None of the directors have public sector credentials. All of the directors represent large corporate interests. • MMBC is not accountable to any government agency, appointed official, elected official or any other government body other than the Registrar of Companies under the Societies Act. • MMBC is not governed by the Province’s Financial Administra-
tion Act which sets out the rules for the administration of all public monies. • None of the monies collected by MMBC, including the fees Buckerfield’s is supposed to pay, go to the public accounts of the province or any other government organization. • MMBC is not subject to oversight by the uditor general of B.C. • Under MMBC’s ‘stewardship plan’ as approved by the provincial government, MMBC has the authority to charge companies like Buckerfield’s unlimited fees based on whatever MMBC spends, regardless of what the actual costs are to recycle our feed bags and regardless of the fact that we already pay municipal taxes in all eight of our locations. • MMBC has the authority to come into any municipality in the province and offer financial incentives to the locally elected government to do what MMBC wants in the area of waste collection and recycling; if the locally elected government refuses, MMBC has the authority to do what it wants anyway. • The municipal governments of the province do not know the background of MMBC and don’t yet realize the fees that MMBC is charging to Buckerfield’s and all the other companies amounts to double taxation. • The municipal governments are go-
ing to have to give up that tax base they have for waste collection and recycling because the shift to ‘producers’ paying directly for waste collection and recycling eliminates the need and justification for ‘consumers’ i.e. property tax payers to pay for these services through the municipalities. • The provincial government did not consult with the municipal governments or the public but companies like Buckerfield’s are pointing it out because until it is resolved, we are being taxed twice for the same service and residential taxpayers (including me) are being taxed for something that someone else is actually paying for. • Taxpayers and municipal governments were not consulted as to whether they really want to shift the financing and control of municipal waste and recycling services out of the municipal jurisdiction, that is, the jurisdiction of democratically elected municipal officials into the hands of a corporation under the Societies Act that is accountable to no one and is outside the jurisdiction of the provincial auditor general • Taxpayers and voters are unaware that the fees being charged by MMBC are so onerous that they will cause newspaper closures and job losses of 300 to 500 in the newspaper industry in B.C., even though recycled newsprint is actually very valuable.

In finding all this out, I lament the fact that none of this was introduced into the legislature for proper debate because it means that instead of spending my days managing the sale of chicks and garden supplies at Buckerfield’s, I have to spend my time trying to revive democratic processes in B.C., retroactively. I find it appalling. My position as of the time of this writing is this was, we ain’t paying a dime to MMBC and neither should anyone else, not until: • The provincial government reconciles what it is doing with the municipal governments and municipal taxpayers so that taxpayers don’t have to pay twice. • The provincial government takes back the legislation which calls us ‘producers’ and ‘blames us’ for the choices made by manufacturers and indeed consumers that are completely outside of our control. • Any monies charged under the auspices of the recycling regulation are included in the Public Accounts of the Province and subject to the provisions of the Financial Administration Act and the Auditor General Act. • Whatever is going to be done is introduced into the legislative assembly in the form of a bill so that the proper public debate can occur. • Insofar as MMBC has not filed its audited financial state-
ments since inception, and the period of time not reported spans more than two years, and insofar as MMBC is actually a taxing and funding agency, there be an independent public enquiry into the financial operations, sources and uses of funds, contractual procedures and expenditures of MMBC. No, Buckerfield’s is not paying a dime until this cash and power grab is unraveled and revealed for what it is. One final word — 96 per cent of all printed paper and packaging material is already being picked up or deposited into municipally financed facilities. Despite what MMBC is saying, at least 53 per cent of that is already being recycled and it is very likely that number was seriously understated to give the government a reason for its MMBC cash and power grab. In reality, there is no basis for setting up a recycling dictatorship and charging punitive fees to companies like Buckerfield’s at all. Recycling is a booming business with rapidly increasing prices of marketable commodities. Could that be why the board of MMBC is all big business and outside the jurisdiction of the auditor general? We don’t have to change a thing to see recycling take off in B.C., in the hands of our elected municipal officials. We need to send the MMBC regime to the recycle bin.

MORE VIEWPOINTS/NEWS Keeping educated in the school of life My recent travels to remote communities have brought such interesting experiences with animals, all sorts of animals. There was learning to be had from these encounters! Dogs are the most apparent animal in the villages and, in one small community, two of the oldest dogs acted as sentinels when wolves approached too close. Whenever the two dogs hear or smell wolves approaching, they quickly run around that end of the community, barking loudly, so people bring children and pets inside right away. Then, as quick as it starts, the barking stops and that means the wolves are very close,

the most unforgettable, unfortunately. The first time I came back to the community after a few weeks’ break, I needed to settle in again. I put everything away, put some coffee on and undressed for a shower. I pulled the shower curtain back and stepped in, toes first. As I put my heel down, there was a distinct feeling of something under it that was crushing easily, something with a thin, brittle outer layer. I jumped back and looked down into an insect-o-phobe’s nightmare. I assure you that insect-o-phobes know their spiders and there, against the bottom of the tub, was a Brown Recluse spider!
OK, I won’t go on and on about what happened next but I imagine you understand now why this was an unforgettable experience and why I was glad I was in the tub so I could get the horrid thing down the drain and scald my foot getting the goo off. I haven’t seen one since, thankfully. On a more positive note (sort of), I have watched a couple of bird funerals — yes, funerals or, maybe, wakes. When either an eagle or a raven dies suddenly (usually because of an accidental landing on a transformer), there is an immediate gathering of the same type of bird — I’ve only seen this with eagles and ravens. They fly into the area silently and sit in the
trees and bushes, just sit there, without any vocalizations. After about 20 minutes, they quietly fly away. In one case, an eagle zapped itself on a transformer on the main street. Instantly, there were 40 or more eagles sitting all around on the house roofs, quietly. It is not hard to believe they are there to show their awareness of death and maybe respect, as we do in our own funerals. I find it all like more and more continuing education opportunities in a life already full of vibrant memories. Keep ‘em comin’ is all I can say to that. Colleen Crossley is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Advisor.
right on the edge of the town. Wolves are part of the environment around remote communities and the Elders say we must have a mutual respect for each other.

HEALTHY TEETH
Your Preschooler and… Healthy Teeth Teeth are important to the total health of your child. Even though baby teeth are replaced by adult teeth, they are needed to help your child speak clearly, eat well and have a healthy smile. Baby teeth also hold space in the mouth until the adult teeth come in typically around age 12 or 13. By age three, most children have 20 teeth. Tooth brushing helps prevent tooth decay and it needs good hand skills — skills not fully gained until age five, so preschoolers need your help to brush their teeth in the morning and before going to sleep at night. One way to make tooth brushing a healthy habit in your family is to brush your teeth at the same time as your child.

Try some of these with your preschooler: 1. Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste on the toothbrush. Fluoride is a proven way to prevent cavities. Some children’s toothpastes do not have fluoride, so check the labels before you buy. 2. Practise putting the right amount of toothpaste on the brush with your child. Keep the toothpaste out of reach of younger children. The flavour of some fluoride toothpastes may tempt your child to use more than needed, and just a little fluoride is all that’s needed to help protect your child’s teeth. 3. Make a game of brushing teeth or make up a tooth brushing song like “Brush, brush, brush your teeth” to the tune of “Row, row, row your boat.” 4. Flossing is also important. Use a floss pick or string floss once a day to floss your child’s teeth. It is best for an adult to do the flossing for a young child. 5. Choose tooth-friendly snacks like cheese cubes and cut up fresh vegetables and fruit. Sugars and starches feed bacteria in the mouth that cause cavities. Sources of these include: • soft drinks (pop), juice and other sweets; • sticky foods such as dried fruit and candy; • sweet foods such as cookies, granola bars, chocolate, cake, pastries, doughnuts, muffins and sweetened gum; • starchy foods such as crackers, noodles and chips. If you offer these foods, do so at a snack or meal or have children brush their teeth right away. 6. Help your preschooler have good feelings about going to the dentist. Ask your public librarian for children’s books about going to the dentist and read them together.

Haphazard History: The Dromedary Express Barry Sale SMART 55
I came across much of this information in a 1989 Pioneer’s Progress supplement to the now defunct 100 Mile House Spectator newspaper. It covers a bit of interesting, yet not very well known local gold rush history. If you ever visit Lillooet, Mile 0 of the historic Cariboo Wagon Road, the old timers there will refer to the old original bridge across the Fraser River as the Bridge of the 23 Camels. The name dates back to the Gold Rush, 1862 when a hopeful entrepreneur named Frank Laumeister, along with a few friends who had money to invest, decided to cash in on the lucrative freight trade to the Cariboo Gold Fields.

Laumeister bought a herd of 23 Bactrian camels (two humps) in Arizona, and had them shipped up to Port Douglas (New Westminster) by steamer to Victoria, then by barge across the Strait of Georgia. He paid $6,000. for the herd, and the shipping and feed costs were extra. The idea was to use the camels in place of mules in a pack train. Each camel was supposed to be able to go six to 10 days without water, feed off the native grasses and scrub plants, and travel 50 to 70 kilometres a day with a 500-kilogram load. That was nearly three times the weight and three times farther each day than a mule could manage. Like many new ideas, the concept looked good on paper. The operation began with great fanfare, and

soon became known as the Dromedary Express. The May 29, 1862 edition of the Victoria Times-Colonist reported “They (the camels) are now acclimated, and will eat anything from a pair of pants to a bar of soap.” The owners’ dream of huge profits soon came to an abrupt and unpopular end. They failed to take into account the harsh terrain of the B.C. Interior and the aggressive temperament of their new beasts of burden.

The camels, which were well suited to softer desert sands soon tore up their feet on the rocky Cariboo paths. Even after special little booties made of canvass and rawhide were made for their feet, the camels had a hard time. In addition from the moment they arrived, the camels would attack anything they didn’t like, and it soon became apparent that they liked very little about the Cariboo. They frequently kicked, bit or spit at anything that came near them, including mules, horses, oxen, customers, travellers and even their handlers. Adding to the woes of the owners was the beasts’ offensive odour. Apparently they smelled so foul that on the trail horses and mules would bolt their loads and take flight, sometimes falling off the narrow paths to their deaths. It was said that if the wind was right, you could smell the Express coming for hours before it arrived. There were other problems too. In truth, the camels were slower and less efficient than a mule train, and they never carried more than 300 kilograms each. Barely two years elapsed before the public outcry was suf-
ficient enough that the government outlawed camels from the Cariboo Trail. The business folded in 1864. The animals were abandoned, and turned loose to fend for themselves and to roam in the wild countryside between Cache Creek and Williams Lake. The poor beasts fared pretty well in the summers, but suffered badly during the cold winters, when many died. A few camels managed to survive. Some were captured and kept as curiosities. The last of the herd died on a farm in Grande Prairie, Alberta in 1905. In 1870, proprietors of the 150 Mile House road house, Samuel Adler and Thomas Barry, bought a carcass of one of the surviving camels that had been shot by a hunter. They offered the meat for sale, but even though it was freshly killed, it smelled so bad that no one would buy it. It is also said that they tried to disguise the meat and serve it on the menu of the dining room, but that too proved to be spectacularly unsuccessful. The Dromedary Express was a shortlived lesson in what can happen when entrepreneurship goes head to head with nature.

The Better at Home Program is finding that housekeeping is the biggest need of seniors in Williams Lake. “We are providing housekeeping services and we did some snow shovelling,” said Sondra Giske, president of the Williams Lake and District Seniors’ Activity Centre Society board, on Monday. The program is under the society's umbrella. With spring finally arriving, yard work will also be a priority. So far 20 seniors are receiving services, which Giske said is surprising because her staff has been so busy they haven’t had the time to
make community presentations or get the word out. Volunteers have stepped up to help, but there is still a need for people to provide visiting and transportation services, she continued. “Volunteers can pick their own times to volunteer, depending on what they can do," Giske said. "You don’t want to do yard work at night. Even if it’s one hour a month, that’s great. It’s up to each volunteer how much time they can contribute." Each volunteer does have to have a criminal record check, with the exception of a group of local students who are volunteering under the supervision of School District 27.
“They’ve been doing shovelling and will be doing some yard work, but because they are under supervision they don’t need a criminal record check. That’s taken care of by the supervisor.” Giske said Community Living people are always willing to help out as well doing gardening and yard work in the past, so Giske is hopeful they will be interested in Better At Home. Williams Lake is one of 51 communities offering the program and recently Giske learned funding has been approved for Williams Lake for a second year. The funding provides for the office and staff at the Seniors’

Activity Centre as well as covering the costs for housekeeping if a senior is eligible for a subsidy. “We subsidize people who cannot afford to pay for it," she said. "It’s on a sliding scale. If a person’s income is less than $15,000 the service is free." If seniors can afford the service, then they pay for it. In the future, Better At Home plans to provide light handyman services for home repairs. “There’s a big need,” Giske said. “Some seniors cannot afford to pay $60 an hour for someone to come and change a tap.” The home repair service will also fall under the subsidy program, she added.

The Office of the Seniors Advocate will monitor seniors' services, promote awareness and work collaboratively with seniors, families, policymakers, service providers and others to identify solutions to systemic issues and make recommendations to government on ways to improve care for our aging population.

Germaine McMillan glides down the slopes with ease Sunday at Mt. Timothy Ski Area. McMillan is 82 years young and has enjoyed skiing her entire life.
Germaine McMillan: a love of skiing Angie Mindus SMART 55 At 82 years old Germaine McMillan shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. An avid skiier, Germaine tries to make it out to the local ski hill at Mt. Timothy Ski Area at least seven or eight times a year during the season. Germaine's only roadblock to skiing more often is not having any friends who can still keep up with her pace down the slopes. Born and raised in New Brunswick near
a makeshift ski hill, Germaine and some of her six brothers and her two sisters passed their childhood days teaching themselves how to ski. She became a mother later in life with children of her own, and laughs today at the idea of originally thinking she was too old to ski when she was 39. Germaine was inspired by another woman while at an Ontario ski hill with her three boys. She took some lessons to renew her skills and has never
stopped since. She even used her first old-age pension cheque to buy her blue ski suit. Germaine and her husband, Austin, moved to Williams Lake in the late 1970s for work at Gibraltar Mine and have made the Cariboo their home ever since. Austin doesn't ski, himself, but is faithfully supportive of Germaine's hobby by driving her and her ski friends to the mountain. Germaine counts Jim and Ruth Fraser and Bob Paterson among her ski friends,
and credits Jim with teaching her proper technique. Germaine believes in keeping fit and works out twice a week to have the leg
strength necessary to downhill ski. She also appreciates having a snowy playground as good as Mt. Timothy so close to home.

Costa Rica an eye-opening adventure Sharon Smith Special to Tribune/Advisor Costa Rica was the destination for some lucky students this spring break. We departed Williams Lake heading to Vancouver, Dallas and finally San Jose, Costa Rica for an adventure filled trip in this beautiful little country! Education First Tours was the tour company. Freddie our director was amazing. He knew so much about his country and taught us about the different eco systems, plants and animals. Our bus driver Carlos was also awesome as he navigated the mountainous terrain taking us to volcanoes, cloud forests, tropical jungles, and the western coastline of this amazing part of the world! We started out in San Jose, the capital city of Costa Rica, and went to the “INBioparque” to learn about the many ecosystems of Costa Rica. We saw vegetation and wildlife in this park that is designed to mimic the country’s diverse ecosystem. Then we headed off to the Arenal Mountains to visit the Poas Volcano. We stopped along the steep incline to sample some delicious strawberries which were locally grown. We hiked down to a beautiful waterfall and were able to swim and cool off in the crystal clear waters. Our muscles were feeling it on the hike back up! We visited the town of La Fortuna for a little shopping and to try some delicious ice-cream and fantastic Costa Rican coffee. We then went kayaking in Lake Arenal and had fun swimming and playing in the waters of this man made lake. Then it was off to the largest natural hot springs in the world to soothe our tired muscles! There were about 15 different pools, some extremely hot, and everyone enjoyed this relaxing experience! Then it was onto Monteverdi, stopping at a small school to visit the children there. The students danced to Costa Rican music for us and we in turn sang some songs and taught them some Canadian songs. A soccer game ensued after we had some local foods that the school provided for us. Monteverdi is in the Santa Elana Cloud Forest Area and we hiked through the clouds finding some interesting bugs such as a unique walking stick that looked like moss.

Accessibility Award of Merit nomination deadline extended The deadline for nominations for the Accessibility Award of Merit has been extended to Tuesday, April 8. The city is urging people to consider nominating a worthy individual, businesses, or group. Details on the award and nomination process is available at www.williamslake.ca/index. asp?p=1830: Corbin Abercrombie discovers a new plant. We learned about the shapes of the plants and how they are adapted to deal with the continuous moisture provided by the clouds. We then went on an amazing zip-lining trip with 12 zip lines totalling four kilometres in length! The final zip line was one kilometre long and the view was incredible! Then we planted trees in the low lying areas of the forest leaving a positive mark on the land. Visiting Manuel Antonio National Park and viewing howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, sloths, lizards, and other insects on the way was incredible. We arrived at a beautiful, secluded beach on the Pacific Ocean and had fun swimming, building sandcastles, and watching white faced monkeys and Costa Rican raccoons playing in
Danika Robson takes a ride on the zip-line. the trees trying to steal food from the tourists! The next day we visited Carara Biological Reserve and spotted many different animals and insects in their natural habitat. Then we went on a river cruise and saw many different species of birds and other wildlife. The high light was our boat driver getting into the water to feed the crocodiles! Our hotel was right on the ocean and we had a fun birthday party that night for Rylee Smith which included birthday cake and a pinnate. Then it was a back to San Jose for some delicious chiros. Cole Krawchuk had chocolate/carmel chiros, chocolate dipped chiros, and cinnamon/sugar chiros! Our final night and saying farewell to Freddie and Carlos was difficult. They both made our trip so
memorable. Freddie was so knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure everyone was happy and safe. It’s always so much fun to take students and adults to foreign countries and to watch them learn and grow from the experiences. I know that many of these students will go on to travel and have developed some skills that will help them to explore the world. They appreciated the different culture and how lucky we are to live in Canada. In March of 2015 I will lead a tour with Julia Jack to Ireland and Scotland. It is sure to be an amazing trip and we are planning to be in Ireland for St. Patrick’s Day. If you are interested please call me, Sharon Smith, at 250-398-8298. The trip is open to students in grades 10, 11 and 12 as well as friends and family. Don’t miss

Rose Lake/Miocene 4-H district speech winners named Brenda Van Wyck Special to Tribune/Advisor Hello fellow citizens of Williams Lake and area. Speeches and Demonstrations for the Rose Lake/Miocene 4-H club are over. We had a really great turnout, and I was happy to see so many of you there supporting us. Without further ado, our first place winners are Melanie Wintjes (senior speech); Nicole Bailey (junior speech); Kimberly Davis and Jordana Wintjes (junior demonstration); Paige Sepkowski
and Taya Sepkowski (senior demonstration); and last but not least, the clover buds: Kylie Davis, Katelyn French, Austin Keenan-Street, William Roberts, Heidi Van Beers, Lana Van Beers, and Trace Van Immerzeel. Our second place winners are Cody Bailey (senior speech); Samantha Taylor (junior speech); and Brenda Van Wyck and (me) Ashley Van Wyck (senior demonstration). And our third place winners are Shaylin Leclerc (senior speech) and Elizabeth Van Immerzeel (junior speech).
Good job to all our other members on your speeches and demonstrations! Another event that has passed is the District speeches and demonstrations. They were held on March 8. Districts are basically where all the first and second place winners of each club come together and compete with other clubs within the district with their speeches or demonstrations. From our club we had participants Cody Bailey, Nicole Bailey, Brenda Van Wyck and Ashley Van Wyck.
Two of our members placed starting with Cody Bailey, who placed third and Brenda Van Wyck and Ashley Van Wyck who placed first. It was great to hear all the other clubs’ speeches; they all did a very good job. March 8 was also another big day for our 4-H Club because it was our first community function. The Rose Lake Miocene Club cleaned up after the Business Excellence Awards this year at the Elks Hall. We took down posters, cleared tables, stacked chairs,
and swept floors. It was a fun event and we were glad to help out. Here’s an update from our last meeting. We opened with a fun game led by Ryan Roberts our club’s recreation instructor. We also had a couple of speeches presented by three of our members. Near the end of the meeting we had a great presentation by our swine club. They taught the club how to judge a market swine using posters. The group
took turns speaking about certain positive qualities found in a well finished market pig. Over-all we all learned a lot from their presentation. Another thing that was introduced at the meeting is the Safety Pin contest. The Safety Pin contest is a contest between 4-H members that are enrolled in 4-H this year. The club members have also had the opportunity to create a safety pin design using the theme Safety First and submit it in order to win cool
WorksafeBC prizes. Submissions were accepted until March 31. For more on that contest check out http://www.bc4h. bc.ca/plugins/userData/Pin%20Contest. pdf.

Ty Thurow, a 10-year-old from 150 Mile House, takes aim at a target Saturday during the annual Cariboo Archers Indoor 3D Shoot at the Trail Riders Arena. Ty said the highlight so far for his archery career was shooting a wild turkey with his bow.
Cariboo Archers host Indoor 3D Shoot Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Trail Riders Arena in Williams Lake played host to the annual Cariboo Archers’ Indoor 3D Shoot last Saturday. Bears, dinosaurs, elk, moose, snakes and several other foam targets made up the range as archers — many of whom came from out of town — attempted to accumulate points based on their accuracy throughout the weekend. “Although it did not warm up a lot inside the Trail Riders Arena a great time was had by all,” said Al Campsall, treasurer with the Cariboo Archers. Multiple members of the Junior Olympic Archery Program in Williams Lake also took part in the event. Results from the shoot, which featured archers young and old, are as follows: Master’s Men’s Recurve 1.) Dave Corless 2.) Lorne Barron Master’s Men’s Open 1.) Al Campsall Men’s Unlimited 3.) John Walker Men’s Open 1.) Lee Jackman Men’s Recurve

The Williams Lake Off Road Motorcycle Association will host its annual general meeting on Wednesday, April 2. On the agenda for the meeting, which begins at 6:30 p.m., is the election of directors for the WLORMA, as well as planning and general discussions for the upcoming annual fan-favourite Dirty Knobby and Overlander Cross Country events.

Hospital Trust wine tasting returns The third annual Wine Tasting for the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust is coming up Saturday, April 26. A total of 17 B.C. wineries will be participating in the event, coordinated by Cheryl Lawrence. Appetizers and music will also be provided during the evening. The wine tasting is a fundraiser for the Hospital Trust’s ongoing efforts to raise the $650,000 in local contributions needed to purchase a state-ofthe-art digital mammography unit for Cariboo Memorial Hospital, says trust cochair Richard Nelson. The total cost of a
new digital mammography unit to replace the existing unit will be approximately $1.2 million. So far the Hospital Trust, with help from the community, has raised $400,000 for the unit. The project received a serious boost with a total of $75,000 being raised at the $95 a plate, soldout Christmas gala last December. “We’re on the downhill side but we’d sure like to get there,” says Nelson. “We’ve been at it three years.” Approximately 2,500 mammogram scans are done at CMH annually.

Driveway readers to spend billions to buy a new set of wheels Driveway readers are in the mood to splash out an astonishing $3.6 billion-plus of their hard-earned cash to buy new vehicles this year. This is not some by Keith Morgan wild, optimistic prediction but a solid forecast based on what our readers revealed in a comprehensive survey conducted on behalf of Black Press by Pulse Research, a company with 30 years of experience in asking the right questions of consumers. In a series of wide-ranging interviews, Black Press newspaper readers from all over the province gave Pulse a comprehensive account of their spending plans. Their intention to spend $53.1 million on fish and chips, $45.8 million on tooth whitening, $13.1 million on tattoos or piercing, $9.1 million on pet toys and $1.9 million on tuxedos, raised some smiles. But the auto spending intent grabbed our serious attention. A massive 123,275 households will take vehicles for a spin and sign on the dotted line.

Chrysler wheels out its sedan segment slugger By Alexandra Straub
Louisville, KY. - The 200 is not a new nameplate for Chrysler but the 2015 model is all-new from the ground up. This generation of 200 debuts the new “face of Chrysler” with its signature grille and logo. There’s also a standard set of rear LED tailamps, and the interior craftsmanship is much more impressive than before. This mid-size sedan is hoping to play ball – and win – against competitors like the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Mazda6 and Toyota Camry, in an ever-aggressive segment. Using the baseball analogy with the 200 seemed apropos since the drive event took place in Louisville, Kentucky, the home of the Louisville slugger. Nevertheless, here are the meat and potatoes for the all-new vehicle. There are four trims of 200 available. First is the LX and that has a starting MSRP of $22,995. Then there’s the Limited, the S and the top-of-theline C model. Regardless of trim, each comes with an industry first, also known as a 9-speed automatic transmission. My day started behind the wheel of the Limited trim with the 2.4L, 4-cylinder MultiAir engine (MSRP $24,995). This powerplant produces 184 horsepower

and 173 lb-ft of torque. The interior reflects that of thoughtful craftsmanship and design. Soft touch materials are used throughout and the layout is easy on the eyes. Not to mention the abundance of cubbyholes in which to place personal items. On a side note, the interior colour combinations drew inspiration from various American cities. For example, the all black interior pays homage to New York City, the Linen and Black is Sausalito, California and the Blue and Black on the S model to Detroit. The centre stack can be adorned with either a 5-inch touch screen or the optional 8.4-inch. To me, the 5-inch screen seemed a little small, so I’d invest in the larger version. That said, it was
still highly functional and easy to use. On the road, the 2.4L Limited shines brightest when on the highway and on long stretches of pavement. It has ability in the twists and turns, but to really get a dynamic feel, you’d need to opt for the S or C trim to put it in the Sport mode. In that case, you get a different suspension setup and steering feel to really allow you to have more fun in the captain’s chair. Back to the 2.4L though. In the city, I felt I didn’t need much more power. Steering feel is light and allows to car the move with ease at slow speeds and gingerly into parking spots. Overall, a pleasant drive. The second half of my day was consumed with the V6. Yum. The award winning 3.6L, Pentastar V6 packs 295 horsepower underneath its sparkling new hood. For a driver’s car, this is the one I’d pick. What’s more, you can configure this engine on all trims except the base LX. Additionally, you can opt for an all-wheel drive setup too. However, the AWD system needs to be paired with the V6. Getting into the sport mode, or fun mode as I call it, requires pushing down and turning the central dial/gear selector to the right. Make sure you

Misty-eyed memories of my first truck By Ian Harwood
I can remember buying my first truck in 1986 like it was yesterday. It had to be a specific make and model: I was looking for. A Toyota 4x4 pick-up, black in color and it had to be in good shape. I wanted it to be bone stock with as little mileage as possible. I found one in the paper that was on the lot at a dealership in Surrey. Quickly I called them to inquire and they said they had a couple of people with deals written up, but it didn’t look like they were going to go through, so if I wanted it I had better get down there right away (Naive at that age to fall for and old trick like this). I had to get a ride from a friend and I remember it was snowing so it was slow getting there. When I arrived it was running and they were anxious for me to drive it. I took it around the block and parked it in a vacant lot, hopped out and started to inspect it. I immediately noticed rust and some body damage. Clearing the snow off inside the truck box, I could see more damage. It looked like someone had dropped a bowling ball into it from about a high ledge. I could smell antifreeze and noticed some oil leaks. I headed back to the dealership disappointed. The salesman was there to greet me. He asked if I had any concerns and I started to point out the obvious. He quickly dismissed them as cosmetic and said do you

want to write a deal on it because he has people in the showroom wanting to buy it. I told him I was not interested. On the ride home, I thought how quickly I had to grow up and look at everything as if someone was going to take advantage of me, sad reality. The next day I picked up the latest copy of Truck Trader and spotted the exact make and model I was looking for. I bought the 1983 edition for $9,000 from a family that only used it once a week to drive to Abbotsford and back to Coquitlam for supplies. It was perfect; funny how God puts things in your path and everything works out in the end. A week later I started to work on it. I acquired some used 33 inch tires and installed a 4” lift kit. I drove that truck every night after work to show it off. I washed it so many times I thought the paint was going to come off. A year had past and I purchased many more items for the truck. A major car show was coming up soon and I decided I would put it in the back of the shop and work on it so I could enter it into the show. Giving up my truck for a month was

tough and I had to make a few sacrifices to get around. My first car show was a hit. I came in second place and I was determined the following year I would be back with something they have never seen before. I poured most of my paychecks into my truck and took it off the road for two months to prepare for its transformation. I called up the owner of Interco Tire and asked about some Supper Swamper tires. He said he had a set of 44x18.5x15 tires in his office that nobody has seen before. At that time the largest they made were 42”. I told him to send them to me I would figure out what I had to do to fit them under the truck. When they came in they looked big. So big I was getting worried. The custom leaf springs came back from the spring shop and I knew my calculations were correct. With all the multiple shocks in place, chassis freshly painted, motor work done, a lower gears installed it was ready for the tires. I cleared away the debris pile that accumulated around

Confessions of a Curber It’s only been a month, but I can see myself selling cars for a long, long time. I feel like a new man. One evening, I was in line at the superstore. An elderly gentleman saw my shopping cart. I had a new digital tire gauge that I was going to give to my next buyer. Turns out he was looking for a used car as he’d recently given his car to his grandson. He just needed something basic. “This is your lucky day!” I told him. The old fellow was around my father-in-law’s age – close to 80. He walked with a cane and had two ear pieces. I was practically shouting to him. What an easy sale. I decided to give him a ride and show him the car. He went on to tell me about his young granddaughter, too. At any rate, we got to the car – it was a base model with an automatic transmission. “It’s perfect for you, sir!” I exclaimed. He got in and sat at the wheel. His face lit up right away. I could tell that he’d been a car enthusiast in his younger days. “Where’d you get this car, son?” he asked me. “It’s my dad’s old car – he passed away and I

just can’t keep it anymore,” I lied. In reality, I imported the car from Washington. It came with documents that mentioned New York State. The title was clean, so I assumed it was in good condition. I priced the vehicle quite high – well over its value. But he didn’t know, and he didn’t ask any more questions. I told him I had another buyer interested (another lie), and that he had to make a decision right away. With no hesitation, he got a bank draft and I gave him the keys. Like I promised, I threw in the new tire gauge. Marty gave me a wink and slowly drove off. Another foolish customer, I thought. No history report to keep me on my toes. And worse, he needs to get it inspected, registered and insured within 30 days - I didn’t bother. I just got my buddy in Bellingham to help me get it across. That evening, I took out the papers I’d received with the car. I decided to go over them more thoroughly. I guess I was a bit bored. Turns out, the vehicle had been registered in four U.S. states. Somewhere along the line, the rebuild* status was dropped. Probably intentionally. The inspection and ICBC will catch that. And who knows if the odometer is right? At least it’s no longer mine. *Rebuild – A vehicle written off as a total loss by an insurance company, then rebuilt and certified for use. This term does not describe a vehicle that has a new or repaired motor, transmission or other major part. Rebuilds offer savings when repaired well, but a buyer has a right to know it was rebuilt. But this buyer didn’t and Walt walked away with the cash.

Audi sport utility has design appeal By Zack Spencer
Audi is the fastest growing luxury brand in Canada likely due to excellent styling, impressive interior design and advanced engineering. Audi seems to be hitting the sweet spot in terms of appeal and design that is the envy of many other luxury brands. The Q5 has been a cornerstone of the Audi brand helping couples and families get into an Audi product but retain the functionality that is needed to move people and cargo around in style. Compact SUVs are growing so quickly in popularity that they might overtake compact cars in sales. The Q5 is sold with a turbocharged 4-cylinder, a turbocharged V6 diesel or two supercharged V6 gasoline models that will rip the tarmac off the road. The SQ5 is the top of the line Q5; it comes with just a few options and makes an already excellent product oh so much fun. Looks When I picked up my test SQ5, something looked different. I quickly realized that the 20-inch wheels had been replaced by 19-inch wheels, fitted with winter tires. The stance of the SQ5 looks so much better with 20-inch wheels or the optional 21inch wheels for just $1,000 more. The SQ5 has a slightly lower ride than the other Q5 models and comes with splash of grey trim inside the front air intakes, side mirrors, rear air diffuser, plus subtle badging. It could be argued that the SQ5 is a little too subtle for the $57,000 starting price. Inside Audi has been referenced as the high point in interior design. I would agree that

the latest products have some wonderful materials and design but this SQ5 is starting to show its age a bit. The screen in the dash is on the small side compared to huge screens from BMWs X3 and domestic brands like the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The lower parts of the dash and doors still have hard plastic bits, where BMW does a better job of covering theirs in soft-touch materials. Even on this top model, Audi still charges a whopping $3,200 for navigation and $1,000 for the Bang & Olufson sound system. In this day of navigation-equipped smartphones, the obscene amounts car companies charge for navi-equipped cars will soon end. On the positive side, the SQ5 is fitted with superb seats that are bolstered perfectly and covered in ultra-soft leather. The seating position is first rate as is outward visibility, cargo space and rear seat room. Drive The base Q5 is fitted with a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder with 220hp. This model is a nice balance of fuel economy and driving pleasure. The SQ5 comes with a supercharged 3.0L V6 with a heart stopping
347hp. The base car will take a run to 100km/h in 7.1 seconds, the SQ5 in just 5.3 seconds, almost a full 2 seconds quicker. What is the most impressive part of the SQ5 is just how good it is to drive in any situation, thanks to the standard Audi Drive Select system. Being able to change the sensitivity of the steering, throttle response, transmission changes and even the sound of the engine, makes this SQ5 a pleasure in stop and go driving or full throttle passing on the highway. I found the comfort setting to be best in the city and the dynamic setting for open road cruising. The ride is firm and very responsive without being too choppy and combined with the potent engine can be placed into corners and is sucked to the pavement thanks to a sophisticated Quattro AWD system. Verdict The Q5 is a solid choice for anyone looking for a premium compact SUV. The base 4-cylinder model starts at $40,900 and is the best seller. This SQ5 is the powerhouse version and does everything so well, point it where you want to go and it will get the driver there with a smile on their face. What might be the best of both worlds in the 3.0L turbocharged diesel Q5 with 428 lb.-ft. of thunderous torque that makes it very quick, but also more fuel-efficient, or the detuned 3.0L supercharged V6 with 272hp. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca
