City council took one more step Tuesday toward approving a three per cent tax hike for 2014. In a vote of four to three, the 2014 budget and five-year financial plan were adopted. The tax rate bylaw received the first three readings. The final vote will take place at the May 13 regular meeting. Mayor Kerry Cook and councillors Sue Zacharias, Laurie Walters and Geoff Bourdon vot-

ed in favour. The three per cent would see one per cent covering inflationary costs and two per cent going toward future pavement management projects. “This budget again demonstrates council’s commitment to smart planning for the future,” Cook said. “We accomplished the South Lakeside paving and widening project without borrowing because of previous planning, so we know laying the groundwork for the future is the best way to address the city’s $50

million infrastructure debt without borrowing from our taxpayers. We are planning ahead to maintain streets each year according to a pavement management plan before they deteriorate further, and at a much higher cost.” Councillors Surinderpal Rathor, Danica Hughes and Ivan Bonnell voted against the financial plan and the tax rate bylaw. “After 10 years I think the community deserves a zero per cent tax increase for 2014,” Rathor said, noting he was sad to

vote against the budget because staff has worked really hard to reduce it from $32.5 million in 2013 to $31.99 million in 2014. Pavement reserves would be depleted without a tax increase, he agreed, but said council could ask the public for the money when it needs it in the future. For the third year in a row, the budget does not contain any new long-term or short-term borrowing and there are no changes to the water and sewer utility rates, the city noted in a press release Thursday.

Fox Mountain Bear destroyed by predator control Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The swift response to a problem bear last week has a Williams Lake area livestock owner singing the praises of a local predator control operator. “He was amazing,” said Fox Mountain resident Henry Wenger of Kyle Lay, owner of Layser’s Kennel Contacting. “It’s an option that every livestock owner should know about. He’s extremely good at catching these predators.” After Wenger found the remains of five killed lambs on his Fox Mountain property, his neighbour encouraged him to call the company. Wenger said within an hour Lay arrived at the property and verified the kill, which means he identified the size of the animal by its tracks and the skidding. Wenger said Lay then skinned the remaining carcasses and determined it was actually a bear that had attacked and killed the lambs, due to the bruising and

bite marks. Lay set a leg-hold snare, and told Wenger the bear would be in it the next morning. “I thought, this is a tall tale, but that bear was there the next morning in the snare,” Wenger said. Lay returned the next day to shoot the trapped 200-pound black bear. Wenger said about two weeks earlier he had seen a bear trying to get into the barn where his 65 sheep are housed. “Our dog heard him and when he went after the bear it took off.” A few days later, he saw bear tracks in the yard heading toward the bush. He didn’t see or hear the bear again, until one morning he woke up to the sound of one of the yews bawling for her one and only baby lamb. “We counted the sheep and discovered five were missing,” Wenger said. “My dog and I went into the bush about 70 metres from the barn and found two lambs with their heads

and back ends chewed off.” Cougars and bears typically kill an animal and drag it, but following drag marks can be very dangerous, Lay warned. “If people find an animal goes missing and they find a drag mark going into a wood area it’s very possible the offending predator may or could be waiting at the kill to protect it.” He encourages people to contact predator control immediately and someone like him will come as soon as possible. The Wengers have lived on Fox Mountain since 1981 and have been raising sheep for 12 years. They’ve had sheep killed by a cougar two times, but this was the first time they’d had any bear problems. “I’ve seen bears on our property, but they usually go on right past, not even noticing the sheep,” Wenger explained. He does not think his dog would have picked up the bear’s scent because its eating area was

New program assists youth at risk Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A program aimed at assisting high-risk youth in the region celebrated the grand opening of its Williams Lake office last week. Changing Directions In Support of Aboriginal Youth has two offices — one in Nanaimo and one in Williams Lake. “We’ve entered a five-year agreement with the province,” program director Darryl Shackley said, noting the funding comes from Public Safety Canada’s National Crime Prevention Centre. The program will support First Nations, Métis and Inuit youth between age 12 to 18 who are at risk of criminal and gang-related activity. The purpose of the program is to assist young people who carry risk factors that may cause disruptive behaviour and criminal activity. There will be male and female Aboriginal youth support workers in each office that will assist young people and their families by using a process called, “Wraparound, Shackley said.

SHELTER IN PLACE

SAFETY TIPS

Smoke alarms and alert devices, called accessories, are available for people who are deaf. Strobe lights throughout the home are activated by smoke detectors and alert people who are deaf to fire conditions. When people who are deaf are asleep, a high intensity strobe light is required along with a pillow or bed shaker to wake them up and alert them to fire conditions so they can escape. Currently this equipment is activated by the sound of a standard smoke alarm. KKK Smoke alarm alert devices, called accessories, are available for people who are hard of hearing. These accessories produce a loud, mixed low-pitched sound. This equipment is activated by the sound of the smoke alarm and is usually installed next to the bed. People who are deaf may find that a pillow or bed shaker is also helpful to wake them up. Recent research has shown that a loud, mixed lowpitched sound is more effective for waking people of all ages than the loud high-pitched sound of a traditional smoke alarm. As people age, their ability to hear high-pitched sounds decreases. Research the available products and select one that best meets your individual needs.

Environmental complaint latest scam tactic Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Kim Couture is concerned about a new scam involving people being called to say they are in trouble with the Federal Bureau of Environmentalists.

A Williams Lake woman was told by a scammer last week she was in trouble with the Federal Bureau of Environmentalists. “He left me a message saying someone had filed a complaint against my name,” Kim Couture told the Tribune. Couture sprays to landscape in her yard. She doesn’t use any chemicals, however, the call scared her. “It’s all organic yet I was worried I had stepped on someone’s toes,” Couture said. When she received the message, the 36-year-old mother of three children called back immediately. It was then the scam-

mer changed the story and said instead he was acting on behalf of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “He said I had failed to fill out a form on my income tax, gave me a phone number, and said if I didn’t get an attorney my assets would be frozen and the RCMP would come to my door to take me to jail.” Couture kept insisting it was a mistake, but the scammer persisted, saying Couture could, however, pay a $1,498 penalty to avoid going to jail. When he suggested she purchase a prepaid Visa card to make a payment, she realized it was a scam. When he asked for her cell phone number she gave him a fake one.

“I’ve never experienced anything like this before and it scared the crap out of me,” Couture said. The caller had a strong accent, making him hard to understand, yet he was very aggressive. “It was also a real invasion of privacy and even though I escaped it all I lost a lot of sleep that night,” she continued. When Couture called the Canadian Fraud Centre the person there said scammers are very good at intimidating people. “He said they scare you first so you can’t think straight,” Couture explained, adding her daughter was very upset hearing the prospect that her mom might go to jail.

Supporting Nigeria Three weeks after more than 300 girls were kidnapped from a school in Nigeria, Canada is stepping forward to help in the search. This week Canada offered to provide Nigeria with surveillance equipment and technical expertise, after the country reached out for Canada’s help. The U.S. announced it would also send military personnel and law enforcement officials to assist with the investigation of the mass kidnapping of the schoolgirls last month. Social and mainstream media have been instrumental in getting word out around the world about the atrocity, which is linked to an Islamic insurgency led by terror group Boko Haram who have been terrorizing the country and its government for years. The group has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping and threatens to sell the girls into slavery. Parents and families of the girls have been bold and unwavering in their protests to urge their own government to take action and find the girls, taken from their secondary school in the country’s remote northeast April 15. More than 300

girls were taken, but 53 managed to escape, leaving 276 who are still missing and in captivity. The kidnapping has sparked international outrage and demands that the Nigeria government do everything necessary to find the girls before they are sold, harmed or worse. In this day and age, it’s hard to believe that people, or planes for that matter, can just disappear. That being said, several countries are still searching for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which went missing two months ago. The intensive hunt has covered almost 4.64 million square kilometres of ocean and used more than 33 search flights, with no results. In recent weeks, Canada has also waded into the crisis in the Ukraine. Canada has sent six fighter jets as well as military personal to help NATO allies show their support for the Ukraine after Russia took over Crimea and threatened the country’s eastern border. Let’s hope the entire world throws its support and wealth behind Nigeria and its plight to help bring these young innocent girls home to safety. - Williams Lake Tribune

New Williams Lake budget plans for the future On Tuesday, Council passed the 2014 budget and five-year financial plan, and gave three readings to the tax rate bylaw. The 2014 budget totals $31.99 million, with operating costs totaling $19.69 million, and a $12.3 million capital budget. As we have in the past few years, we are planning for the future. We need to address our pavement management each year, so that roads do not deteriorate to the point where reconstruction is needed, with a very big price tag. We know that we need to be fiscally responsible while providing services and maintaining our infrastructure, and to think longterm, to avoid the need to borrow

From the Mayor’s Chair Kerry Cook funds and incur debt. It was by doing this long-term strategic planning in past years that we were able to accomplish the South Lakeside Drive project last summer without borrowing money. It is the fiscally responsible way to operate. I’m proud that there is no longterm or short-term borrowing in the budget for the third year in a

row, and water and sewer utility rates will not change. We have done the due diligence of finding efficiencies in the operating budget, and this year, we have cut $388,000 in operating costs. Finding efficiencies is an ongoing part of our budget cycle and will definitely be a focus for the upcoming year. The financial plan proposes a three per cent annual tax increase, with two per cent going annually toward pavement management projects, and 1 per cent toward the annual rate of inflation of operating costs. The two per cent tax increase set aside in each year of the financial

plan will allow us to address infrastructure without depleting our reserves. We also propose to continue to increase the balances in our reserve accounts to support future capital projects. A huge thank you to all of the organizers, sponsors, performers, and volunteers who helped make the City’s 85th birthday celebration a success last Saturday. Despite the incredible four inches of snow, there was a full day of fun for everyone. It was great to have our community, regional mayors, our MLAs, former mayors, and some Williams Lake pioneers come to celebrate with us. Here’s to another 85 years of opportu-

nity! I attended a Community Policing volunteer recognition event where more than 100 residents were honoured. A big thank you to all those who serve our community and make it a safer place to live! It is that time of year when we are reminded to honour our mothers. I have been blessed with an amazing mom –whom I respect and love, and who has been encouraging and supportive. She is someone I worked with for many years, whom I have laughed and cried with. Thanks for everything, Mom! Kerry Cook is the Mayor of Williams Lake.

Tension between Future concerns versus short-term profits I trust Tribune readers have reviewed David Black’s articles on the proposal of a refinery in Kitimat. What caught my attention was the value added aspect of the proposal. The state-of-the-art refinery would convert the bitumen into gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Black mentions that the Canadian oil companies are not interested in building a refinery because it’s not as profitable as shipping raw bitumen. I have always wondered why the Albertans have not built a refinery next to the extraction site which would solve a lot of the negative feedback they are getting from trying to ship the dirty tar sands product. They could also produce products that could help Canada develop a self sufficient petro chemical industry. With refined fuels mentioned above plus many other products they would have the option of shipping by truck, rail and pipelines in multiple directions to domestic and foreign markets. With B.C’s experience in trying to add value to forest products for the past four decades it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a refinery proposal comes from this province. While we are still shipping some raw logs out of the province, I am confident the companies involved with producing value added products will keep the log exports in check. There is lots of experience in B.C. adding value through lumber production, pulp and paper, oriented strand board, medium density fibreboard and plywood plants, as well as wood pellets and cogeneration facilities. Residents are well aware of the high job ratio associated with value

Forest Ink Jim Hilton added industries like furniture, window and door production which are mostly small businesses. I for one will be very interested in Mr. Black’s plans and will try to support his proposals with some reservations which I will deal with later. In the meantime I will express my displeasure with the federal government over their lack of leadership regarding this issue. Where is our national energy plan? Rather than tinkering with the environmental laws and regulations which will make it easier to ship dirty oil why not hire back some research staff to work with the provinces and make Canada a leader of green energy rather than the brunt of jokes at the environment conferences. It is totally irresponsible for Albertans and all Canadians to ship poor quality oil to other countries so they can create the jobs and clean up our mess. As Mr. Black points out the only way other countries can refine the tar sands product more cheaply than us is to cut corners and produce harmful byproducts which we should know by now will probably come back to us in the atmosphere we all breathe. I became aware of a similar problem when looking for ways to produce biochar from logging residues. If we used the same methods as third world countries you could get more

toxic byproducts as well as a lot of CO2 (often worse than rapid but wasteful burning of the cull piles) even though 50 per cent of the carbon was sequestered as a stable carbon source. The lesson we should have learned is that it takes long term planning and reduced profit margins when environmental issues are taken into consideration in the development of new industries. A national energy plan must take into account the many similar products produced from refining crude oil or the pyrolysis of agriculture and wood waste. There are many advantages to combining markets and transportation options with similar products from the two processes. As Canadians we can’t let the corporate rush of oil companies to recover their costs trump the

need for sustainable, long term environmentally responsible use of our natural resources. Leave the oil in the ground for future generations until we get it right. It is also irresponsible for us to plan more hydro electric projects that will flood our rare valley lands while we continue to wastefully burn millions of tons of biofuels which could generate power and other useful products rather than producing CO2. As mentioned previously, an Alberta location of the proposed refinery would make more sense from a pipeline safety, environmental and market distribution point of view. If the federal government refuses to be involved in long range energy planning and Alberta does not take a more responsible role we may be on our

own. A refinery located near the eastern B.C. border would incorporate many of the advantages discussed above regarding a facility closer to the Alberta tar sands. It will take additional information and discussion regarding options like primary and secondary refining processes and where they would be best located to develop a national energy plan. In closing, I encourage everyone to get involved in this very important discussion which will impact future generations as well as us.

Shuttling rolls out biking memories; a reminder of how far we can pedal Biking mania has hit our house. My husband has resumed riding his bike to and from work. Our sons and their friends have transformed me into a shuttle to local mountain biking trails. If I could burn calories for every drive up to Fox Mountain or Esler I’d be a lot trimmer. When I lamented this recently to an RCMP officer during a road block on Hodgson Road he suggested I run on the spot while waiting for my bikers to return. He’d seen me going through with the bikers to drop them off at

Keeping Afloat Monica Lamb-Yorski

Snakes and Ladders. I have yet to get on my bike this season. I need a new one, but that will have to wait for my income tax return. In the meantime, it’s made me

think about the wonderful invention we call the bicycle. I was a late bloomer when it came to bike riding. I’m not sure why, but I was eight when dad taught me how to ride. He’d run along beside me as I pedalled my big old red one-speed. When dad felt I was ready, he’d let me go and I’d wobble along, until I was balancing on my own. As soon as I was a capable rider, the world became my oyster. Our family never owned a car while I was growing up, and because pedalling was faster than

walking, I now had independent access to a larger world. My friends and I biked everywhere. Once in Grade 9 we biked to Harrop — about 30 kilometres — to spend the weekend at one of our classmates’s homes. Another time I biked 23 kilometres with my brother to camp at Kokanee Provincial Park. My prowess as a cyclist wasn’t always the brightest. On two separate occasions I chipped my two front teeth. The first time attempting to

do acrobatics when my foot got caught in the spokes. The second time turning around too quickly while I was showing off in front of the neighbourhood boys. I’ve seen so many people out on bikes in the last few weeks and it makes me smile. Cycling is a reminder of how far we can go by simple putting one foot in front of the other, even though there can be bumps and scrapes along the way.

A special meal for Mother’s Day Mother’s Day is this weekend and we will be showing love and appreciation for all they do for us. One of the top gifts for mothers are roses. Second would be to take her out for a special meal or to stay at home if you having a full table. Of course, Mother’s Day special cards, bought, or homemade by children, would top the list of goodies on her day of thanks. I think every day should be Mother’s Day to honour these women and what they have done. They gave birth, raised and nurtured us. Perhaps the best gift they pass along is their love. Maybe one of the nice things you could do for mom is to cook her a wonderful breakfast, lunch and

dinner. You don’t need to be a fancy cook to prepare something pretty tasty for good ol’ mom and you already know what she likes to eat, so jump in the mixing bowl and come up with something she will appreciate. It will certainly put you up on the brownie points ladder if you were to pick up a dozen roses, or some flowers at least. White carnations are often worn on mothers day. Let’s start with

breakfast for mom, in bed, if that’s what she would like, or at the family table. You could do her favourite cereal with some tasty fresh, big blueberries or pancakes, perhaps. Then there’s bacon and eggs, an omelet or just a bowl of fresh fruit with yogurt. My suggestion for lunch would not be a peanut butter and banana sandwich, although it may be something that some of the younger cooks in the family could create. It is good to have all members of the family help with the cooking or with the dishes … and don’t forget, mom does not do housework on that day. Got it! I think a nice roasted vegetable and

Hamburgers and talk about restoring Discovery Coast ferry Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Over a free hamburger and a drink Saturday afternoon, locals talked about the need to restore the Discovery Coast Ferry during an awareness campaign hosted by Cariboo GM in Williams Lake. “The cancellation of the ferry will affect all of us,” said Anahim Lake resident Bill Van Es. During the past 10 years, an average of 7,000 tourists per year travelled through Williams Lake to take the ferry, he said. The replacement ferry, the Nimpkish, can only carry 16 vehicles. A pamphlet created by Save the Discovery Coast Ferry Campaign at www.savethediscoverycoastferry.ca and distributed Saturday notes seven large German tour operators and

Jonview Canada have expressed their disgust with the Nimpkish and the new Bella Coola-Port Hardy service and will no longer recommend the route to clients. “This means international tourists, the bulk of those 7,000 tourists, will disappear from the Highway 20 corridor and

cheese quiche would please mom. It’s pretty simple to make and from start to finish you could be satisfying her lunch appetite in about oneand-a-half hours. *** Roasted Vegetable and Cheese Quiche 12 ounces of frozen pastry, thawed 1 red onion cut in quarters 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut up 1 yellow pepper 1 zucchini cut in thick slices 2 tbsp olive oil 2 large eggs 4 ounces of cream 4 ounces of mature cheddar cheese Take the thawed pastry and roll it into a deep dish flan tin, 10 inch, heat the oven to 400 degrees and bake the pastry for about 15 minutes. Put the veggies on a baking sheet that you have drizzled with oil. Roast for about 20

minutes until starting to get a little charred. Take out and separate onion, then cut your oven down to about 180 degrees. Take a bowl and whisk the eggs with milk then stir in the cheese, you can put in some fresh oregano, thyme or chives ... a few herbs to enrich the flavour. Put the vegetables over the bottom of the pastry and pour over the egg mixture ... bake for up to 35 minutes. This will make a fantastic lunch for mom and the rest of household. Take some time to appreciate that which your mother has done for you. Thanks mothers. I wish for a special day for you, God Bless! ye for now and Good Cooking.

Forestry proposals spark response Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer If forest licenses are going to be changed there have to be some guarantees. That’s the message former chief forester Joe Stentsinger has heard during his consultation meetings on tenure reform. “I’ve heard support from people who believe it should happen but only after an updated forest inventory is in place,” he said in Williams Lake Thursday after meeting with seven groups from the region. People have said the transfer from a replaceable forest license to a tree farm license has to demonstrate there aren’t any negative implications to First Nations, that there are demonstrated benefits to the annual allowable cut through increased investments in silviculture, planning or inventories. Before Williams Lake, he met groups in Smithers, Burns Lake and Quesnel, and stopped in Houston and Vanderhoof

Many people have told him they want to see demonstrated community benefits. Others said any commitments licensees make in their conversion proposal must be legally ensconced in a licensed document that is clear,

measurable and enforceable. “Another theme I’ve heard is the fact one size won’t fit all,” he said. “There will be instances where it makes sense and instances where it doesn’t. There is also a demand for a very rigorous public consulta-

minister they actually have local support for the potential conversion of their replaceable license to an area based tenure. Based on that demonstrated local support, the minister may or not invite them to apply, Snetsinger explained, adding there would be a 60-day referral period for public consultation. If the minister decides to go ahead with this enabling legislation, which there is no guarantee of at this point, it’s at that application stage that the public really has an opportunity to comment on the application and the proponent has to demonstrate how they’ve taken those comments into consideration, Stentsinger told the Tribune.

Tsilhqot’in camp tradition continues The popular 2014 Tl’etinqox-T’in (Anaham) cultural camp will take place this summer from July 7 to 17 at Raven Lake. Organizers say the camp has been ongoing for 25 years at various locations throughout Tsilhqot’in Territory. “Every year, Tl’etinqox members camp with their families, including elders and children,” says camp counsellor Leslie Stump. Various cultural activities are planned throughout the 10 day camp, she adds. Participants enjoy making birch bark baskets and baby baskets, moccasins and gloves, beading, teaching, story and legend telling, drumming, singing, prayers, traditional teachings, medicine walks, horse riding, sweat house building, hunting, fishing, drying meat and fish, canoeing and more. To commemorate the camp’s 25th anniversary, the “Battle of the Bones” Traditional Lehal Tournament is scheduled for two days with an added pot of a minimum of $1,000. Other events include the “Chief Anaham Grand Potlatch,” the traditional baby ceremony, traditional retirement acknowledgement and recognition by Chief Joe Alphonse.

The Cariboo Men’s Choir will be in concert at St. Andrew’s United Church this Sunday starting at 2 p.m. Johnson’s daughter Kiera Johnson. Kiera has been studying at the Canadian College of Performing Arts in Oak Bay near Victoria. She was featured in the choir’s fifth anniversary concert and returns this year to add to this Mothers’ Day musical treat. The idea of a men’s choir got its start in the fall of 2004, when the Vancouver Mens’ Welsh Choir performed in Williams Lake.

After that concert, retired administrator Bill McDonald and local teacher Carl Johnson, started the local group. Johnson volunteered as director and they recruited retired teacher and pianist Jerry Tickner as their accompanist, and McDonald volunteered as manager. The choir started with 17 members and now the choir has an average membership of 25 men. The Cariboo Men’s Choir performs at nu-

merous events in the city including the Cariboo Music Festival, Tuba John’s Christmas Concert, The Williams Lake Pipe Band’s Ceilidh, annual Remembrance Day services, the Olympic Torch Relay Celebration, and several more. The choir meets and practices at the Williams Lake campus of Lake City Secondary School on Saturday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Auditions are not required and all men are welcome.

p.m. At this presentation, she will share stunning photos from her book, as well as never-before-seen outtakes from her original documentary, 40 Days at Base Camp, which continues to air on the Knowledge Network. The climbing season

at Mount Everest commences in May, and, like every year since 1920, there will inevitably be a tragic death on the mountain. In 2010, Whelan travelled to Mount Everest base camp to film her documentary which includes stories of Maoist rebels, ava-

lanches and dead bodies surfacing out of a dying glacier. From her perspective at base camp, she interviews climbers, doctors and Sherpas, all living there for months on end as they wait for a weather window to summit the top of the world.

and sprout quickly may be the key to igniting a love of gardening in children. Choosing seeds that sprout quickly can hold the attention of children who are new to gardening. Many different plants fit this bill. Beans, peas, sunflower seeds, and bell pepper seeds are easy to start and germinate quickly. In addition, many leafy vegetables, such as chard, lettuce, spinach, and mustard, germinate in three to five days. Herbs, such as basil and parsley, also sprout fast. All of these plants are good options for introducing children to gardening, as each provides quick

especially if they have tangible results on the dinner plate. Children who want to try something different can explore other types of plants. Aquatic plants, or those found at the pet store to grow in aquariums, can be easy to grow. They need little more than a container, fresh water and sunlight. Cacti and other succulents are also fun to explore. These plants are quite hardy in that they can stand up to moderate abuse,

such as failure to water frequently enough. The unique appearance of cacti make them interesting focal points for an indoor garden. A love of gardening that’s fostered inside can also be explored outdoors. Set aside a plot of dirt where kids can sow their own seeds and tend to their own gardens. This hobby can help children learn patience and hard work while fostering an appreciation of nature.

gratification. To further interest children, it is a good idea to plant seeds in a way that allows youngsters to monitor the progress of growth. Use a transparent container, such as rinsed-out glass jars and canisters, to house the plant. Such containers give kids an unobstructed view of the process, during which children can plot the progress of seed germination and easily spot root and stem development. Once the seedlings grow larger, they can be transplanted into different containers. Many seedlings can sprout with water alone. Children can easily grow new plants from clippings of a mature plant left resting in a shallow cup of water, and seeds may not even need soil to germinate. Kids may have luck sprinkling seeds on a dampened, crumpled-up piece of paper towel. Cotton balls also make a good place to nestle seeds. Either material will hold on to water, keeping the seeds moist until they sprout. Afterward, the seedlings can be care-

uptake of nutrients. Before planting add a slow release fertilizer to the potting mix. Many basket stuffers, especially supertunias, are heavy feeders. Water before plants become extremely dry. Water until the water drips out of the bottom of the container. Use a water soluble fertilizer every 7-10 days. Finally remove spent flowers to promote continuous bloom. If plants are getting leggy just pinch them back to create a well-branched

Hi Amy

by Jean Atkinson, Richbar Golf & Gardens, Quesnel After last winter we could all use a good dose of colour. One of the biggest trends in gardening this year is containers planted with just one type of plant. This one big punch of colour is simple and elegant. You really can’t beat petunias for colour. Quesnel is famous for its streets lined with petunias. It is amazing how they stand up to all that dust and exhaust and still manage to look so good. But plants can’t do it all on their own, not even petunias. There are just a few simple steps to growing great containers. First begin with a decent sized container, especially for hanging baskets. We recommend you don’t use anything smaller than a 30cm (12”) basket, anything smaller dries out too quickly. Before you begin filling with soil, make sure that the drainage holes have been punched out. Use only a professional potting soil. Heavy topsoil inhibits root growth and has slow

The Beauty of a Woman As I grow in my own journey as a Catholic priest, I have come to a deeper appreciation of the beautiful gift of a woman. Allow me to share a few things that I have learned about the beauty of women. Notice the sequence in the story of Creation in the book of Genesis. After the creation of land, water, vegetation, animals, then man, and then, the pinnacle of creation: a woman, Eve. She is the high point in natural creation. The best is saved till the last. Many people have blamed Eve for the first sin, but perhaps after another closer look, we might find that Adam might be the first at fault. His job was to guard and keep the garden. Where was he? Slacking off on the job and not protecting Eve, perhaps he should be the first at fault. Adam was to guard and keep the garden. The woman is also referred to as a garden herself, especially an “enclosed garden” as found in the Song of Songs (Song of Solomon 4:12). Adam is the gardener who enters into the garden (hopefully lovingly) and sows the seed into the garden. She is to receive the seed and bear fruit, namely new life. He is to protect, cherish, and guard the

Divine Life. Looking back, then, after Adam and Eve fell from the garden, and as a result, death entered into the world, which all human life is effected by, Mary becomes the Mother of the Living of the New Creation. The fruit of her womb, Jesus, took on the consequences of sin, suffering, and death, and destroyed them through his own death on the cross. After Jesus died on the cross, He was sown in the virgin ground (unused tomb) and 3 days later rose to PARSONS PEN new life, a Resurrection from the where there is no more sin, BY Father Derrick dead, suffering or death. Not all women are called to be garden and the fruit within her. biological mothers, but they can Eve, as a woman, is the bearer be mothers in different ways. of all human life. From her one Mother Theresa of Calcutta, womb flows all human life, hence for example, had no biological her name Eve, the “Mother of all children of her own, but mothered the living”. many children. The greatest of all women is Thank you women for the gift Mary. She received the greatest that you are to the world. And seed of all, namely Jesus Christ, in a special way, thank you to my Divine Life itself. All of creation Mom who allowed me to be the can join in praising with Elizabeth most precious fruit of her womb. as she greeted Mary, “Blessed are Thank you Mom and for mothers you among women, and blessed for all the sacrificial love that you is the fruit of your womb” (Luke give to your children. And may 1:42). Mary, the Mother of Jesus, men learn to be true gardeners gives this fruit to the whole world protecting the gardens with its so that everyone can share in fruits.

Artist reaches deep inside Monica Lamb-Yorski photos

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer If you ever wondered what one artist might be able to create in six months, check out this month’s show at the Station House Gallery. Artist Al-lisa Tresierra McKay gave herself that challenge and the results are amazing. Salmon, frogs, a refreshing interpretation of a Man-of-War or the birds and the bees, are some of the concepts shared in her show. The timeline was difficult at times, but it forced her to let go and be simple, McKay told people during the show’s opening last Thursday. “I like to surprise people with my paintings, but I never wanted them on my own wall because they were too busy,” she chuckled. “In doing these simpler paintings I realized I loved it.” She worked from her “Piscesliness” and drew from her “Mars and Aries” considerably throughout the artistic process, she said. To get started she stretched her own canvasses. “I loved that energetically and it made me very proud,” she said. “It felt like the story had already begun with each one and I realized I spent most of my time staring at them.” In order to paint so many pieces she had six going at once in her cabin studio. Each area of the cabin became a delegated space for painting, felting or playing music. “It was a relay in a way,” she smiled. Many artists draw from a well when they create and sometimes it is difficult to pinpoint where the inspiration comes from, she explained. “I enjoyed my winter working on this show. It was a hard process and lonely sometimes, but I wanted to stay with the process, working with water, air and the sky and worked a lot with the rain and water dripping down from the sky.” There are a lot of

Initially she wanted to carve a structured path, yet found freedom realizing she didn’t have to do that. McKay was born in Squamish and raised in Williams Lake. She has her studio cabin in between Williams Lake and Quesnel and a van she’s enjoying living in between. It is her second show at the Station House Gallery. Her last show was in the upper level, but McKay wanted to be in the lower gallery this time because she has people she loves who are in wheelchairs. Aside from painting, she also creates unique puppets and produces the soundscape to perform puppet shows at festivals. She’s a musician as well. Each piece in the show has a detailed written addition, which one guest said were generous and poetic in their own right. “All my pieces are open to interpretation but I like to write something because I know mine is abstract visionary work and sometimes it confuses people,” she said. “So I write a little bit to let people know where I was coming from and hope they will still interpret it on their own.”

Rose Lake/Miocene 4-H practices judging

Friday Edition!

Brenda Van Wyck Special to Tribune/Advisor Hello fellow citizens of Williams Lake and area! The last Rose Lake/ Miocene 4-H meeting we had was packed full of information that I am excited to tell you about. So let’s get to it! First, I would like to acknowledge the passing of a former beef leader, Rob Starr. Although I did not know him personally, I have heard the many great things that he has done for our club over the years. We are all saddened over the loss of a devoted member, and friend. The next thing we discussed was the 4-H poster competition. Every 4-H member is required to make a poster advertising our Annual 4-H Show and Sale. The poster must have all the dates, locations and sale items listed on the poster. The goal when making your poster is to make it original, eye grabbing, and informational. The posters will then be judged and marked. Ribbons will be given for the best posters and then all posters will be hung around town. Posters are due at the May meeting. I’m sure you’ll find these posters in many local businesses around town. We are proud to announce that one of our members, Kate Barnett, competed in the Prospect 2000 show in Kamloops. She competed with her Charlois cross steer, Macklemore, and won third in weight class and reserve champion in showmanship. She commented on her experience by saying “It was a lot of fun!” Congratulations Kate! One of our fun-

Rose Lake/Miocene 4-H students take part in a recent outing. draisers has been launched which is the Tupperware fundraiser. Very generously, this fundraiser gives back 40 per cent of the proceeds to our 4-H club. There are all sorts of Tupperware containers from big to small, tall to wide, and all different colours. If anyone is interested in buying or checking out some Tupperware, contact the Rose Lake Miocene 4-H club and we’ll help you out. This fundraiser ends April 23, so if you are interested, act quickly! We also had the beef group give us a great demonstration on how to judge market steers and the language to use when judging them. On April 27, our club had a practice judging rally in preparation for judging rallies later in the year. Our club participates and we help the clover buds and new members get the hang of judging each project. A judging rally is like a competition where all 4-H members have a judging card and they all judge each project according to market qualities. For example, if you are judging market swine, you will be

looking at four finished market hogs. Your job is to put them in order from best to worst and then explain your placements by comparing them to each other. These judging cards, once completed, are given to the leader of the project you’re judging and are then marked.

Senior members have to give oral presentations about their project as well as written judging cards. Our Easter Petting zoo held at the Botanio Mall was very successful. I met many fellow 4-H supporters there! There were lots of animals around for everyone to check out and a ton of cakes to

Anne Louise Tyers

June 5, 1943 - May 5, 2014 It is with deep sorrow that we announce that Anne, beloved wife, Mom, grandma, great grandma, sister, aunt, and friend passed away peacefully with her husband and daughter at her side on May 5, 2014. She waged a short battle with cancer displaying unbelievable courage, strength, and dignity. Anne touched the lives of many and leaves in her wake a beautiful legacy of love. Anne was predeceased by her mother Vera, step father Walter, and father Sid. She leaves behind her devoted, faithful husband of 52 years Mervyn, her beloved children Cathy, Mike, and Stephen, her precious grandchildren Jessica, Matthew, Jordan, Michaela, Braedan, Brennan, and Victoria, her cherished siblings Barb and Alex, 3 great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and many treasured friends. Anne was joyfully anticipating the birth of her next great grandchild, due in August. She will be greatly and deeply missed. The family wishes to express their gratitude to the team at the Palliative Care Unit who took such great care of her during the final days of her journey. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in her memory to the FVHC Foundation in support of the Tertiary Hospice Palliative Care Unit at the Abbotsford Hospital. A tea in her honour will be held in Horsefly Lake at a later date.

Health Awareness Mental Health Week May 5 - 11, 2014

CMHA - tell us how you really feel Submitted by Canadian Mental Health Association, WL CMHA wants to know, “Are you phine or fine?” Toronto, May 5, 2014 – To mark the beginning of its 63rd Annual Mental Health Week (MHW), the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is launching its Be Mind Full initiative. As part of this new initiative, a campaign begins today that is asking Canadians how they really feel and challenging them to answer the question, “Are you phine or fine?” By defining “Phine” as, “saying you’re fine when you are not,” CMHA’s aim is to start a conversation with Canadians across the country and encourage them to talk about their mental health – as they would about their physical health – be honest and share with others how they really feel. CMHA is conducting a live

poll all this week on the MHW website and will track how many Canadians are truly fine or just saying they are “phine.” “Too often people claim to be feeling fine when they do not feel fine. Many may be experiencing poor mental health, but do not want to talk about it or seek support because of the discrimination and stigma associated with mental health problems,” says Peter Coleridge, National CEO, CMHA. Approximately 7 million Canadians – 20 per cent of the population – live with mental illness. “CMHA’s Be Mind Full initiative is an inventive and thoughtful way to engage Canadians in a conversation about what it really means to feel ‘fine,’” says Louise Bradley, President and CEO, Mental Health Commission of Canada. “And what better time than Mental Health Week to launch a campaign

that aligns so well with the Mental Health Strategy for Canada in its call to increase awareness, promote mental health, and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health problems and illness.” CMHA has been a champion for mental health since 1918 and has played an important role in improving people’s understanding of mental health and mental illness. CMHA introduced Mental Health Week (MHW) in 1951 to raise awareness of mental illness in Canada. MHW today offers people practical ways to maintain and improve their mental health and support their recovery from mental illness. “CMHA recognizes that mental health begins where we alive, work, and play. We actively support and encourage mental health for all Canadians, in all aspects of their daily lives, during Mental Health Week and throughout the year,” adds

Coleridge. This year, CMHA is focusing on increasing awareness of women’s mental health and mental illness by providing information, resources and the practical strategies and advice required to address women’s mental health issues. A list of CMHA’s women’s mental health programs and services across Canada can be found on CMHA’s MHW website at www.mentalhealthweek.ca. Every year, CMHA’s community locations host local Mental Health Week events that offer Canadians information, resources and practical ways to stay mentally and physically healthy. CMHA locations across Canada organize seminars, host open houses, set up community information booths, and hold film screenings, art shows, lunch and learns, conferences, and walks and runs in support of

Mental Health Week. Community events and activities listings can be found on CMHA’s MHW website at www.mentalhealthweek.ca. This year’s Mental Health Week is generously supported by Medicine Shoppe Canada, Janssen Inc., The Co-operators, CGI, Home Trust Company, and Eli Lilly. “Since the launch of our in-store fundraising campaign last year, Medicine Shoppe Pharmacies have donated over $20,000 on behalf of their customers to support local CMHA projects,” says Terry Stychin, President, Medicine Shoppe Canada. “Stores across Canada will continue to provide support to CMHA by collecting donations locally through our in-store fundraising program and we are proud to continue our support of CMHA during Mental Health Week.” For more information on

how to maintain your mental health, to find Mental Health Week events and activities in your community, or to donate to CMHA, go to CMHA’s MHW website.

Hypnotherapy: an alternative solution Almost everyone has heard of hypnosis, but what is it really about? Simply put, hypnosis is the alpha brainwave state in which one has access to the subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis for therapeutic purposes. You may be wondering why having access to your subconscious mind would have any benefit to you. Consider how different your life could be if some of the negative things you believed about yourself could be changed. Beliefs such as “ I’m not good enough.”, or “ I’m not smart enough.”, or any of the myriad of things that you may say to yourself on any given day. These beliefs were likely formed in your mind at a very young age, and you may no longer even know where they originated. The mind is a super computer that likes to automate thoughts and actions for the sake of efficiency. For

most of our day to day activities, this works to our benefit. We no longer have to strain to think about doing so many of the tasks that we perform on a daily basis. These tasks can range from relatively minor, such as brushing our teeth, to much more complicated tasks like driving. Once something is learned, it immediately falls under the purview of the subconscious, becomes automatic, and no longer takes any effort to reproduce. Unfortunately for responses that no longer serve you, breaking these connections can be difficult to do once they are made. This is why having the willpower to put down that cigarette or to refuse that piece of cake is often not enough. The connection between stress and the cigarette, or loneliness with eating, becomes hardwired. This is where hypnosis, or self-hypnosis, can help immensely.

Hypnotherapy utilizes the state of hypnosis to change the ‘tape’ that is playing in your head and modifies the connections that your mind has linked together. For instance, the link between stress and a cigarette may be changed into stress and calm. The link between anger and eating may be changed into anger and going for a walk. Once the mind becomes aware of the source of a connection, it can often make the necessary change to transform the final outcome to a more desirable one. It can generate new beliefs, feelings and behaviours that are more in alignment with who you want to be consciously, in order to meet your own potential. Hypnosis is also widely used as an adjunct in the treatment and control of pain, habit disorders and other medical problems. In conjunction with other health professionals,it uti-

lizes the power of your own mind to assist in your own healing and recovery. Far from losing control, hypnotherapy can give you back the power that you’ve forgotten that you have had all along! To help you build confidence and a greater sense of self- worth over time, a strengthened inner support system to help you in moving forward into the life that you picture for yourself. Hypnotherapy however, is not a magic bullet. It requires time to

unravel the limiting thoughts that have become intertwined into your belief system,. Hypnotherapy is an assistant to enhance the qualities and abilities you already have, very much like a personal trainer for the mind. We can show you how, but you still have to do the heavy lifting! So I ask you, who would you be, if you could only change your mind? Vicky Ortiz RDH, M.H., C.Cht

Health Awareness National Hospice Palliative Care Week May 4 - 10, 2014

Busting the myths about Hospice Palliative Care Submitted by Williams Lake Hospice Society Hospice Palliative Care Month, May 2014, is the perfect opportunity to focus on and encourage open and honest discussion about what hospice palliative care means to us and our loved ones ... and to understand how Hospice, as part of the palliative care team, can provide support to individuals with life-threatening illness and their loved ones during a most difficult time. What is hospice palliative care? How do you envision your end-of-life journey? In a hospital? In your home? Have you discussed your wishes with your loved ones? There are a lot of questions around hospice palliative care and what it looks like to each individual. Williams Lake Hospice Society, together with the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association is taking this opportunity to Bust the Myths of Hospice Palliative Care!! Myth #1: Receiving hospice palliative care means you’ll die soon! Fact: Hospice palliative care is not just for the final days or months of life. Hospice care is a holistic approach to healthcare, including physical, emotional, social and spiritual support of the whole person. It includes pain and symptom management, caregiver sup-

port, respite and spiritual care from a healthcare team. Myth #2: Hospice care is just for seniors. Fact: Hospice palliative care is provided to people of all ages, ensuring that they and their families are properly supported and prepared for end-of-life. Myth #3: I can only get palliative care in a hospital. Fact: Palliative care services are offered in hospitals, long term care facilities, hospices and in your own home. Hospice palliative care is about approaching end-oflife with dignity, increased quality of life, comfort and courage. Hospice palliative care ‘makes the road less lonely’ for the individual and their loved ones throughout their journey. Williams Lake Society staff, volunteers and board members will be attending events throughout the community, increasing awareness about the invaluable support Hospice can offer individuals throughout their end-of-life journey, while busting the myths of hospice palliative care!! Williams Lake Hospice Society has undergone some big changes lately!! Firstly, our name has changed. Formerly ‘Central Cariboo Hospice Palliative Care Society’, our new name is ‘Williams Lake Hospice Society’.

Hospice volunteers: left to right back row: Lesley, Loretta, Helen, Adele, Cecilia, Anna May, Christie, Bill. Front row: Paula, Gabi. The Society is comprised of port and bereavement fol3 part-time staff, volunteers low-up services for their and a Board of Directors. We family and friends in the have a new Executive Williams Lake area’. Hospice volunteers and Director and Volunteer Services Coordinator and staff work with the staff of our priority is to get out into Cariboo Memorial Hospital, the community and make Home and Community Care, Williams Lake Hospice Deni House, Williams Lake Seniors Village and physiSociety a household name. The Society is funded by a cians and are a vital part of Community Gaming Grant the ‘hospice palliative care from the Province of British team’. Hospice clients are Columbia, a grant from the City of Williams Lake and referred by physicians and the United Way, in addition other health care providers, to generous donations from family or friends. Our servicthe community and fund- es are free of charge and are available to anyone with a raising. The mission of Williams life-threatening or advanced Lake Hospice Society is ‘to illness and their loved ones. Hospice Volunteers provide a volunteer service Volunteers are the HEART dedicated to supporting those persons approaching of Hospice... without our the end-of-life or those with volunteers there wouldn’t a diagnosis of terminal ill- be hospice palliative care. Volunteers provide supness, as well as respite, sup-

port, comfort and empathetic listening to the individual and support for their loved ones. Volunteers encourage the client to share their story, listen to a client’s concerns, act as an advocate for the individual, provide respite for the caregiver and simply be a comforting, supportive presence. The most valuable skill a hospice volunteer can offer is the gift of LISTENING!! Hospice volunteers provide support ensuring the highest quality of life possible for the individual throughout their journey. Volunteers must complete a 30 hour training course that helps them develop the skills necessary to be a caring and supportive presence to the client and their loved ones.Communication skills, spiritual needs, pain management, symptom control and self-care for the volunteer are just some of the components covered in the training.

Chiropractic questions and answers Submitted by Cariboo Chiropractic 1: What is Chiropractic? Chiropractic is a health care profession that diagnoses, treats and helps prevent disorders and conditions related to the spine, nervous system, and musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to, back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms and legs, and headaches. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counseling. 2: What does a chiropractor do? The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as “spinal manipulation or chiropractic adjustment.” The purpose of the adjustment is to restore joint mobility, neural integrity, circulation in the region of the joint and to improve soft tissue flexibility. Chiropractors

also utilize other therapeutic procedures such as soft tissue techniques, exercise, ultrasound, and muscle stimulation, and nutrition to name a few. 3: Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt, and what makes the cracking sound? Typically an adjustment does not hurt. Occasionally, after an adjustment you may experience some stiffness or soreness much like the day after you start a new exercise program. The application of heat or cold may be used if this discomfort is present. However, this condition does not last long as

M A S S A G E

your body quickly realizes the benefit the restored mobilization has for the overall function of your spine. The pop you hear during an adjustment is not cracking or bone grinding on bone. It is gas, specifically nitrogen, rushing into the joint space when the joint is separated or mobilized. A similar known phenomenon is the pop you hear when opening a champagne bottle. 4: Is it true that once you go to a chiropractor you will always have to go? No, this is not true. If you present to me with an acute

or painful complaint, my goal is to reduce and eliminate your pain as quickly and effectively as possible. Patients who continue with chiropractic care past their acute problem do so because they recognize the overall benefits of continuing with periodic adjustments. This preventative spinal maintenance increases mobility and function and reduces the degenerative effects that daily life has on the spine. Many of my patients have come to appreciate a better quality of life with what they call their “tune up adjustment. 5: How does chiro-

practic work? Injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that cause inflammation, pain and diminished function in the patient. A chiropractic adjustment restores joint and soft tissue mobility, relieves pain and muscle tightness, improves neural integrity to the joint and to the structures the nerves supply, and allows for tissue healing. Because of the relationship between the spine and the nervous system, the chiropractic adjustment maximizes the function between these two systems allowing your body to function at its optimum level.

passionate, caring men and women. Hospice has many aspects to it and many different faces and names. I have learned how to love someone and then let them go. I have learned how to sit with someone whose life is ending and be at peace with it. I feel so privileged that families let me in to that private, personal place at their time of grief and are so accommodating to me. There has been so much laughter and so many poignant moments in my work, that sometimes I feel that I don’t deserve to do what I do. I would not give up the many wonderful experiences, even the sad ones, for anything. I love being a volunteer and I never imagined that it would change my life so much. I plan on continuing as long as I am able. Hospice has given me much more that I have given to it”. Our fundraising kick-off is May 10th @ the Memory Garden between 10am-2pm at the 6th Annual Seedy Saturday event!! Williams Lake Hospice Society will be selling plantable Memory Seed cards by donation. Each beautiful card is made of hand-crafted paper embedded with 12 varieties of perennial wild-

flowers seeds. A choice of 3 colours and 3 shapes of adornments are available by donation. Cards can be taken home with you to be planted, or planted in the Cariboo Lodge Community Garden, in a bed that has been dedicated for this purpose. Plant a seed card in memory of your loved one and wildflowers will bloom in their memory. Then keep an eye out for Hospice Society memory seed boxes throughout the community and donate to the Williams Lake Hospice Society!! It is essential that all Canadians have access to programs and services that make their end-of-life journey less lonely. Please help us continue to provide individuals at end-of-life the right to die with dignity, free of pain, surrounded by their loved ones, in the setting of their choice!!

Cattlemen’s banquet a popular beef fundraiser Liz Twan Special to Tribune/Advisor More than 100 guests enjoyed the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association annual Beef Bonanza benefit dinner at the Point Restaurant banquet room May 6. The event, the seventh annual, is now so fairly well-known that it is anticipated and sold out, sometimes with a waiting list. Hosted by the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association public affairs and education committee, the dinner was started as a way to highlight awareness about the local beef production industry. The dinner menu always features beef in the starter course,

This year’s guests enjoyed a kabob/salad starter and beef Wel-

lington for the main course. Proceeds from the dinner are always designated for a local charity, community group or worthy cause

that will benefit Williams Lake and area residents and is different each year. To further that purpose the committee strives to get spon-

sorship for as many of the dinner and entertainment costs as possible, and the response, by local businesses and individuals, has been tre-

mendous. Entertainment was provided by the Big Lake Orchestra. Also graciously volunteering her time to sing for her supporter

Health Awareness National Nursing Week May 12 - 18, 2014

The many hats worn by nurses Enter a hospital, doctor’s office, adult care facility or medical clinic and you are bound to encounter nurses.

Nurse is a broad term used to describe most individuals who perform patientbased care in a variety of

settings. A nurse’s duties and title will vary depending on his or her educational background and the certifications and licenses he or she has received. Here are the common types of nurses and the type of education required to become a nurse. * Nursing aide/orderly: Nursing aides and orderlies help nurses care for patients and perform routine tasks. They spend most of their time with patients, serving meals, keeping patients comfortable, answering call lights, making beds, and giving baths. Most nursing aides work in a hospital setting or longterm facilities for the elderly. * Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN): An LPN studies for a year after earning a high school diploma. LPNs typically record medical histories, weigh and measure patients, record symptoms, and administer injections. * Registered Nurse (RN): An RN typically pursues a two-year Associate’s degree in nursing or may receive a Bachelor’s degree in the field. RNs must pass

a national exam before they are licensed. The duties of an RN are generally more varied and in-depth than those of an LPN and can include helping patients manage treatment plans. * Nurse practitioner (NP): Nurse practitioners are among the most educated hospital employees. In addition to their RN study, they earn a Master’s degree and may specialize in one area. Also, NPs may be able

to work outside of the authority of a physician. In such instances, an NP can run a medical practice, diagnose and prescribe medication just as a doctor would. Although doctors are often thought of as the primary care providers in most healthcare settings, nurses are growing in numbers and have taken on many of the roles once reserved exclusively for doctors.

New mail boxes at 7-Eleven Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer New mail boxes at 7-Eleven are meant to increase not decrease postal service in Williams Lake, said Canada Post. “It is our intention to run both the corporate outlet on Second Avenue and the dealer outlet,” Canada Post spokesperson Eugene Knapik told the Weekend Advisor. “We do periodically review all our retail outlets, so I can’t predict the long term, but our intention now is to increase service with two outlets as opposed to one.” Last month, new mailboxes were installed at 7-Eleven on Proctor Street and presently 32 are vacant, he said. While the corporation has set out on a fiveyear-plan to roll out

Sandy Dahlman of 7-Eleven in Williams Lake with the new Canada Post boxes recently installed at the store. community mail boxes across Canada, there is no target date set for when that will happen in Williams Lake. A list released in December named 11 communities that will see the conversion in 2014 but it did not include the lakecity. Another list of communities slated for the

change in 2015 will be released later this year. Canadian Postal Worker Union Local 854 representative Bev Goldstone of Williams Lake has delivered mail for Canada Post since 1979. Once the community mailboxes are installed, there are projections 30 to 40 per cent full-time

250-392-3242

equivalent jobs could be lost, Goldstone said. “But until they actually finish putting the community mailboxes in place, we won’t have a true picture of the job losses.” Of the 20 letter carriers in Williams Lake, four could be eligible for retirement within the next five years, she

confirmed. To decide where the community boxes will go, Canada Post has surveyed residents and municipalities in advance, Knapik explained. “In some communities it might work better for people if they group a larger number of them together, which would make it further for some people, but on the other hand it may be advantageous for customers to have the boxes closer to their home.” “Canada Post Canada is taking it community by community.” Goldstone also said everyone is nervous that more corporate outlets will be closed in the future because some communities have been left with only one outlet. 100 Mile House was on the list to be downsized, and some places that weren’t on the list, were downsized any way, she explained.

Lakecity runners storm BMO Vancouver Marathon Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Lakecity runners left a deep footprint on Sunday’s 2014 BMO Vancouver Marathon. Thirty-two participants from Williams Lake joined more than 16,500 entrants in four events and 90,000 spectators to take part in the race. Marathon runner Sheldon Manchur posted the city’s top time, crossing the finish line in two hours, 43 minutes and 23 seconds for 21st place overall. He also finished ninth out of 367 runners in the men’s 25- to 29-year-old category. “I had a great time out there and really tried to enjoy myself,” said Manchur, who recently returned from a six-month marathon training regiment in Iten, Africa. “The weather was a little cold and it was raining, but I dressed for the occasion with gloves and a long-sleeve shirt. I felt pretty strong for most of the race but, like always, the last 10 kilometres were a struggle and I found myself slowing down more than I would have liked.” Despite that, Manchur came away with a new personal best with a time he said he’s satisfied with.

Manchur, Enns, put best feet forward at BMO Vancouver Marathon Continued From Page B1 Meanwhile 13-year-old Cade Enns was turning heads in the eight-kilometre Teen Challenge. Enns, who beat Manchur’s longstanding school district track and field record in the 1,000-metre race last year, finished second in the boys 13- to 19-year-old class, posting a time of 31 minutes and 49 seconds. He was also 10th overall out of 567 runners. “I enjoyed this amazing race and all the views and sights it had to offer,” Enns said. “I’m hoping to return next year and have the same level of success.” After Enns edged Manchur’s track and field record the pair decided to meet up last summer for a little training. “I was fortunate to be able to watch Sheldon finish his marathon after my run was complete. He’s been a great motivation to me as a runner and I hope to one day be as good as him.” Manchur, meanwhile, continues to see Enns improve. “Cade absolutely crushed it in his race,” Manchur said. “Placing 10th overall, including

His results from the weekend reflect how fast he’s become.” The husband and wife duo of Matt Cullum and Amandah Cullum ran the fastest lakecity times in the BMO Vancouver Half Marathon, finishing in one hour, 39 minutes and six seconds and in one hour, 47 minutes and 55 seconds, respectively.

“The run was amazing, as usual,” Amandah said. “Matt and I really enjoy having a passion we share in running and in something that is completely personal to both of us. There are so many accomplishments people have in life that are shared but running goals are such personal accomplishments.” She said she was proud to be part of a large contingent of Williams Lake runners who made the trek. “It feels so good to be from a community who shares a passion for healthy living on so many levels,” she said.

Kyle White (left) and Tyler Keep show off some of their handiwork at the Boitanio Bike Park, which has been redesigned. Park Jam, the Peel Out Super Enduro and the Peel Out Party. The park has been completely rebuilt, Calof said, thanks to the efforts of Kyle White, Tyler Keep, and multiple other volunteers. “They’ve been killing it,” Calof said. “It’s basically a brand new park. There’s a new pump track for time trials, there will be a best trick contest, and then the main event is the jump jam.” Riders will have an

hour or so to ride freestyle in the park while being judged. The top 10 will then square off with each getting an opportunity to choose their best line through the park. “Whoever creates the best line, style and amplitude will emerge the winner,” Calof said. Registration for the bike park events will begin at 10 a.m., and a barbecue is planned for noon. Also at 10 a.m. the Peel Out Super Enduro

gets underway. The race will see 30 riders compete in a three-stage enduro format tour of Fox Mountain, beginning and ending in Boitanio Park. The Peel Out Party (for ages 19 plus) starts at 8 p.m. at the Limelight, featuring the music of Drum and Bell Tower (Brent Morton) and Vancouver-based ska/reggae band Redeye Empire. Calof added everyone involved is looking forward to the festival. “It’s all about coming

to hang out, watch the events if you want, ride the town and support the businesses that help out,” he said. Registration for the Outlaw Invitational and the Super Enduro closes on May 13. To sign up visit ridethecariboo.ca/ events/peelout. The CMBC and the WLCC are also hosting a bike park work bee Saturday, weather permitting, and are inviting anyone interested in helping out to come out.

Mt. Timothy seeking input from public Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Mt. Timothy Ski Society wants to hear your ideas. Debbie Dengel, president of the board of directors with the MTSS, said the society wants input from the general public and its membership about ways to move the hill forward. “We’re going to be hosting an open meeting and welcome any ideas to help the hill with growth, both in users as well as financially,” Dengel said. “We’ve been having a few struggles so we’re looking for input from both major communities [100 Mile House and Williams Lake] and the smaller towns that support us.” The meeting will

take place on Monday, May 26, at the Fox’s Den Bar and Grill, located at the Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club, from 7 to 9 p.m. “We’ll be putting together an agenda to follow for the meeting and we’d also appreciate peoples’ comments beforehand,” Dengel said. Anyone with comments or ideas prior to the meeting can e-mail Dengel at dengels@ shaw.ca, or any of the other directors. If you are unable to attend the meeting Dengel said suggestions are still welcome and will be reviewed. Back in March the ski hill went public about its financial struggles. One of the ideas to help was to offer the opportunity for

businesses, families or individuals to purchase new padded seat covers for the chairlift through the National Sport Trust Fund. “We’re actively fundraising with our seat pad covers for the chair lift,” Dengel said. “It’s $500 a chair but offers a tax receipt. The fundraiser is open until Sept. 1 and people can put a business name, family name or anything they want [embroidered] on the pad.” Also available is corporate advertising on the towers, on the trail map and surrounding the trail map on the hill. Mt. Timothy Ski Area operates as a nonprofit society, governed by a board of 11 volunteer directors, plus a general manager, Adam Piccolo.

Penning time

Honeyjacks, Stamps, take titles The Honeyjacks and the Stamps marched away from Total Ice Training Centre’s second annual Spring Classic with their sticks held high. The Honeyjacks downed the Hat Trick Heroes to win the ladies’ crown, while the Stamps took out Junior B (aka Jungle Cats) to claim the men’s title at the tournament, held late April. Following a sixgame round robin on the women’s side the

Hat Trick Heroes held a perfect 3-0 record. The other three teams — the Rockets, the Dekes of Hazard and the Honeyjacks — were all tied. The Hat Trick Heroes knocked off the Dekes of Hazard in the semifinal, 9-8, in overtime. Sam Wilde tallied the winning marker. The other semifinal saw the Honeyjacks defeat the Rockets, 8-6, to setup the final where Shannon Thom scored in the last two minutes to se-

cure a one-goal win. Both goaltenders — Leah McAllister and Lisa Hutchinson — split the goaltending duties among all four teams. On the men’s side Junior B beat Team Total Ice 13-8, while the Stamps downed Duff Minor Hockey 14-8 in the semifinal games. In the final the Stamps and Junior B went down to the wire where the Stamps eventually clawed to a 15-14 victory.
