A sockeye salmon and thousands more like it return to spawn in the Horseﬂy River Friday. Though it is the largest and most highly anticipated run to come back to B.C. in years, the ﬁshery has been met with apprehension since the Mount Polley tailings pond breach spilled an estimated 25 million cubic metres of water and mine waste into the Quesnel Lake watershed. Imperial Metals is hosting another information session at the Likely Community Hall Wednesday evening to keep residents up-to-date on clean up efforts.

Latest test results show the Mount Polley tailings spill is not affecting this year’s sockeye salmon in the Fraser River, according to the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council. “We received our latest report yesterday on the first group of tested fish and there doesn’t seem to be any contamination of heavy metals,” NSTC fisheries manager Ernest Kroeker told the Tribune Monday. And with the Quesnel sockeye run being better than it’s been in

a decade, Kroeker said the sad thing is many Shuswap didn’t go fishing this year because of fears regarding the Aug. 4 tailings breach. “There were a fair number of our members fishing at the Gang Ranch bridge and it was very busy, but some of our other traditional spots were not.” Those other spots include the Sheep Creek Bridge, Xat’sull Heritage Village, Rudy Johnson Bridge and Farwell Canyon. The run has definitely peaked already but will continue on until the first week of October, as the fish move up the Fraser

River to the Quesnel River and into Quesnel Lake and its many tributaries including the Mitchell River and Horesfly River. What isn’t known, Kroeker said, is the longterm implications as the juveniles will spend the next year growing up in Quesnel Lake. “Those are the ones who could be most affected by environmental changes,” Kroeker said. “They will then go out to the ocean and return four years from now.” Meanwhile the Tsilhqot’in confirmed the First Nation

Health Authority has also said the fish tested are safe, but tribal chair Chief Joe Alphonse said he is telling members there is no guarantee. “Some have been fishing, but not many,” Alphonse said. “Some of them are freezing the fish they’ve caught to wait for more results.” He’d like to see 200 fish tested, he added. At a meeting of Tsilhqot’in chiefs held Monday, no firm decisions were made around the fishery. “It’s still an issue of being able to trust the tests,” he added.

Sam Ketcham Pool Referendum Question of the Week

ADVANCE ELECTOR REGISTRATION

Q: If the main tank only is replaced; are there plans for upgrades to the other areas, such as the tot pool and hot tub?

Are you eligible to vote at the November 15th election for Mayor and Council? Is your name on the current list of electors?

A: There are currently no plans to upgrade other areas of the pool if the referendum does not pass and the main tank only is replaced. An important reason the preferred project option is an expansion of these existing areas is that any replacement of the tot pool and hot tub at their current size and structure is not good value for the limited ongoing service they provide. These areas would continue to be maintained and repaired as necessary.

If you are not sure you can find out by calling or visiting the Corporate Services office at City Hall, 2ND Floor, 450 Mart Street, Williams Lake, BC, (250) 392-1773. The office is open from 8:30 am to 12:00 Noon and 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays. Advance elector registrations will be accepted at the City of Williams Lake Corporate Services office until September 23, 2014. With the exception of registrations on voting days, elector registrations will not be accepted during the period September 23, 2014 to November 16, 2014.

NEWS

Polley mine cleanup moves forward Angie Mindus Staff Writer It has been just over one month since the Mount Polley tailings pond breach, and Imperial Metals vice-president Steve Robertson reports there is much cleanup work underway. “Winter is just around the corner,” Robertson said Tuesday. “We are trying to get as much work done as we can before the weather turns. We have as many people working in the area as we can at this point.” Of immediate concern, Robertson said, is completing work to reduce any risks to human health. One of those risks includes large wood debris in Quesnel Lake, some of which has been barged to West Fraser’s reload area for sorting and trucking. Robertson said the debris, which is a hazard to boaters in the lake, is continuing to be collected in the water while some areas on land have had to wait as the company awaits permits to work in ar-

chaeologically sensitive areas. “There is still a lot of shore clean up that needs to be done,” he said, noting Mitchell Bay was hit particularly hard by debris. Building a dyke to secure the remaining tailings within the breached storage facility was another immediate issue, Robertson said. That work is now one week from completion and will allow workers to safely be in the Hazeltine Creek area. Robertson said water tests continue to be conducted on a regular basis and have never shown a risk to human safety. “The good thing about Mount Polley is the tailings are not very toxic,” Robertson explained, noting during the 17 years the mine has been operating the metals in the mine tailings have proven within a closed system to not be very susceptible to leaching. “The (most significant) environmental impact (from the breach) was the scouring event,” he said of the damage

caused when the breach burst down the mountain taking the forests surrounding Hazeltine Creek with it. “I don’t want to minimize it, but the long term effects on the environment will be relatively low,” Robertson said. “It’s not going to be as dire as people have said.” That being said, the company is providing water filtration systems for residents west of Cariboo Island to upstream of the Quesnel Lake Research Centre due to TSS (total suspended solids) plumes which have been seen in Quesnel Lake in recent weeks. Robertson said the plume is at depth in Quesnel Lake since the breach and is being brought to the surface in plumes as the lake turns over and flushes it out. Additionally, workers have been trying to drain Polley Lake to reduce the risk of it breaching its blocked outlet since taking on an additional six million cubic metres of water during the breach. Robertson said the

Debris from the Mount Polley tailings pond breach is being taken out of the lake at West Fraser’s reload area west of the junction on Quesnel Lake Sunday. The wood was barged more than 20 kilometres from the impact zone at Hazeltine Creek to the site, where it can then be trucked out. company has also stepped up its research by bringing in two vessels and research teams which will map the bottom of the lake, take samples at various depths and compile the information and complete modelling to predict future outcomes. The west arm of Quesnel Lake is the focus of

all the work, he noted. Imperial Metals is hosting another of its regular town hall meetings in Likely this week to discuss the ongoing work mentioned above. The meeting is expected to get underway at 7 p.m. Wednesday and will be in the format of an open house with government agen-

cies also in attendance. Robertson said they are releasing details of their plans surrounding the cleanup as they can, however, Imperial Metals is expected to submit a detailed plan to government by Sept. 15. Roberson wouldn’t comment on the likelihood of whether the

mine could reopen, however, he said he is not ignoring the calls from the union and others to reopen the mine. “Until we have the investigation complete ... it’s very difficult to talk about a plan (to reopen) ... we have to take it one step at a time — this is a long path ahead of us.”

Premier Christy Clark to visit Nemiah Valley Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Premier Christy Clark has accepted an invitation to visit Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah Valley) on Wednesday, Sept. 10. “When we met with her in Vancouver last week to talk about our Supreme Court decision we told her she needed to see our title land,” said Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger

William. During the meeting, Xeni Gwet’in elder Eileen Sammy William made a little bag and community member Pam Quilt put some soil in the bag which was presented to Clark. The Tsilhqot’in went to the meeting with four requests. They asked Clark to help bring the federal government to the table, which tribal chair

Chief Joe Alphonse said is the most important. “Prime Minister Stephen Harper has to come to the table,” Alphonse insisted. The chiefs asked Clark to agree to develop high levels of negotiating to address the rights and title area and the overall Tsilhqot’in title area. Alphonse said he felt Clark arrived at the meeting with total

respect. “We spent half an hour with her and were caught off guard,” Alphonse explained. “We spend so much time fighting and arguing for our rights and there she was agreeing it was a huge opportunity to address long-standing wrongs.” Clark was also invited to attend the 150th anniversary of the Oct. 22, 1864 hanging

of Tsilhqot’in chiefs during the Chilcotin war. “We want them exonerated,” William said. “It was an act of war not murder.” The fourth request was that Clark visit Nemiah Valley and sign a letter of agreement on title land. “These discussions were a good first step towards strengthening our relationship with the Tsilhqot’in

Nation,” Clark said in the press release. “The important recent ruling from the Supreme Court of Canada confirms the path forward must be taken in partnership, with respect and recognition. We are committed to taking the next step towards securing a more prosperous, just future for the Tsilhqot’in Nation and all British Columbians — together.”

William said Clark will meet the First Nations at the Chilko Lake Provincial campsite where there is a traditional site with a picnic canopy and different areas for drying fish and game that was developed in 2008 as part of a tourism strategy. Beforehand the chiefs will hold a feast for community members to explain the agreement.

Despite a dip in the temperatures this week the hearts of many have enjoyed the warmth of camaraderie amongst fellow RVers at a provincial meeting in Williams Lake. From Monday through Thursday morning directors from from BC Good Sams are camped in RVs at the curling rink. During the week they will meet to plan for future projects and have fun socializing. “We have two provincial meetings a year,” said John Mitchell, chapter president of Cariboo Sams and northern director of the BC Good Sams. “Last year’s fall meeting was in Osoyoos.” Indoor games are planned for the day such as bean bag baseball and even bocce ball. They’ll play cards, dice games and wrap up with a banquet and dance with DJ Arnie Zimmerman on Wednesday. Good Sams stands for Good Samaritan and refers to the onus on members to be on the lookout for fellow travellers in distress. Members can also access Good Sam Roadside Assistance. “You cannot change a tire on an RV by yourself,” Mitchell chuckled. “There are chapters

NEWS Bowman seeks seat on city council Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Peter Bowman has made it official. He’s running for city council. “I’m really excited,” Bowman said Monday evening sitting at his kitchen table. “I’ve known for a while but thought I’d wait until the fall to make a formal announcement.” This is the 44-yearold’s second stab at running for council. He ran in 2011, however, at that time he believed his chances were slim. “Afterwards I was encouraged by the num-

Peter Bowman ber of votes I received,” he said. “I did have many people tell me they didn’t realize Peter Bowman was me.” Every candidate will no doubt peg the economy as a number one issue, Bowman said, as he suggested local mills,

mines and the area as a service hub are all important. “I also want to focus on youth and retirees,” he said. “We need things for our youth to do and as seniors live healthier and longer lives so do they.” Pushing in favour of the pool referendum will be part of his platform because he said the community needs a new pool and it’s well overdue. The pool’s a place that can be enjoyed by all ages, especially in winter when days are short and cold, he added. Bowman and his

wife, Jennifer, moved to Williams Lake in 1996 from Vancouver and as soon as they arrived they noticed how green and active the community was. They played soccer, ball and ultimate frisbee. “We were busy every night,” he recalled. Today they have two school-aged children. Recently Bowman changed careers after being a teacher and eventually principal at Alkali Lake’s school for a decade. He’s now the project manager at RL7 Mechanical. As he anticipates the

election and a possible victory, Bowman said he’d love to be part of a good council with a mayor who has experience. His years working in Alkali Lake with the school and community has instilled a desire to work with outlying communities. “I think I have a respect of how to do that. It involves going in there with a willingness to understand the people who live there,” he said. Anyone wanting to talk about issues with Bowman can contact him by e-mail at petbow@hotmail.com.

BC Hydro awards up for grabs in province BC Hydro is offering $10,000 awards to non-profit community organizations that are committed to making a difference around sustainability, conservation and environmental leadership. The 2014 Community Champions program is open to non-profit organi-

Sometimes negative Nellies are right

Update on Mount Polley

If horses had wings

henever plans for a new project are announced, e.g. a mine, whatever, there are always those (moi) who hope for the best, but expect the worst. You know us as Negative Nellies, cynics, Citizens Against Virtually Everything, Treehuggers, etc. Well let me tell you something. We are not “against” anything. We just want things to be “done right” (no cost saving shortcuts) so there aren’t any unexpected consequences nor nasty surprises when something goes wrong. For NNs, no matter what the outcome, it has French to be better than Connection what we feared it Diana French might be. All news is good news for us, there’s nowhere to go but up. Sometimes (even once is too often) NNs are right. When that happens we are as dismayed as anyone, but the rah rah people get caught off guard when things to go sideways. If they were even a wee bit negative at the start, they would be better prepared to deal with disasters when they do happen. They might even have a contingency plan in place, or even a Plan B. *** The news has been dismal lately. At home we have the Mount Polley Mine spill, the teacher/government dispute, and nasty incidents on the police blotter. Farther afield, this has been a record year for wildfires, and internationally, Canada now is Number One in the world for having the worst record for forest management. We’ve done it with fires, logging and energy and industrial development. So it’s time for some good news. Awhile back, an anonymous someone paid the lunch bill at a local eatery for a friend and I, with the message to “pass it on,” so I’ve made sure to do at least one little extra act of kindness every day. What I’ve noticed though is that more strangers are doing little acts of kindness for me (opening doors, carrying things). It is catching? Or is it just an age thing?

Our Viewpoint

Civic elections need diversity Candidates are coming forward for our consideration. In some ways, the race is already on, leading up to the municipal election Nov. 15. On that date, Williams Lake residents will be entrusted to elect a mayor, city councillors and school trustees who will represent us for the next four years. Some people have indicated their intentions; many have yet to go public. Candidates can’t formally declare until the end of the month, Sept. 30 at 9 a.m. and they have another 10 days after that (Oct. 10) before the deadline to hand in nomination packages. We hope, most of all, that there will be strong candidates, but we hope also that there will be a variety of candidates. At the moment, three of Williams Lake’s seven city council members are women, along with our current mayor, Kerry Cook.

Beyond gender, there can be a place at the council table for candidates of any age, ethnic background, sexual orientation, social standing or political leaning. Rather than categorize and divide us, these diversities can create a broader perspective. Compromise and co-operation are a part of democracy. Of course we realize that counting councillors by gender — or any classification — is an oversimplification. Candidates will be judged on their merit, their character, their priorities and promises, their strength and smarts, their motivation, their intentions. We hope that this fall, voters will have the chance to elect just the sort of representatives we’re looking for, both men and women. - Black Press

t has been just over a month since the Mount Polley Mine incident. It impacted hundreds of families, residents in Likely and those who worked at the mine site. From the day the incident occurred, our government has not stopped monitoring and investigating what occurred at the site. Since the incident, I have met with many residents, First Nations and concerned citizens impacted by the tailings breach. The engagement process will continue and by working together as a community we can determine exactly what happened and the best solutions to ensure this type of accident never happens again. Testing by Interior Health and MLA the Ministry of Environment will Musings continue, and Coralee Oakes updates will be continuously be updated online. Sampling results are being taken from several different locations at different depths in Quesnel Lake to determine the safety and quality of water for aquatic life and human consumption. Our government with the co-operation of First Nations communities has begun the task of commencing the investigation of the incident and review of all 2014 Dam Safety Inspections. British Columbia is a leader in mining and exploration, and we are taking these steps to maintain and reinforce this reputation for many years to come. For workers impacted by the Mount Polley incident, the Province is currently working with the company, the United Steelworkers, the CRD and the Chamber of Commerce in Likely to ensure workers have all of the necessary information they need to connect with worker support services. For those who require support and connections with skills training and employment opportunities can contact the Williams Lake WorkBC Employment Services Centre at 250 398-5133. The Cariboo North constituency office is also available to connect workers and residents with government resources and programs by calling us at 1-866-991-0296. Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

Stick to principles in labour dispute Editor: For those who believe that the B.C. government is bargaining in good faith with the striking teachers, this letter is for you. All summer long I, like many others, waited for news that the teachers had reached a mediated settlement with the government. It shocked me to learn that for two months, nothing happened. And then, less than a week before schools are set to open, Education Minister Peter Fassbender finally agrees to a meeting! Why did it take so long? My hypothesis is that Minister Fassbender needed to undermine the swell of public opinion favouring the teachers’

stand on education. By asking teachers to return to work during a two-week cooling-off period, Minister Fassbender has placed them in a potential lose-lose situation. On the one hand, if teachers vote against a temporary return to work, then the Liberal government can throw up its hands in feigned frustration and say: “See! Those teachers aren’t serious about mediation.” And, as typically happens, some of the softer supporters will be swayed by these dramatics, giving the media a new reason to vilify teachers. On the other hand, the teachers could agree to open the schools during mediation. This, in my opinion, would be foolish. At first, parents would rejoice, believing that alterna-

tive arrangements for childcare could be cancelled. But what if there is no settlement in two weeks? Would teachers dare to walk out again, forcing parents to re-make the arrangements they had cancelled a short time before? Public opinion favouring the teachers would tank. So teachers, what is it going to be? If asked to accept a two-week cooling-off period in exchange for what might well be a bogus agreement to mediate, please vote “NO.” Stick to principles. Remember: “KIDS MATTER! TEACHERS CARE.”

determine the actual cause. No single individual owns any mining corporation; investors from all over Canada including many pension funds are depending on the operators of this mine to operate profitably. Shutting down the mine because of an accident is like throwing the man into the coffin because he had a heart attack. We are all responsible for the failure of the dam. We need to make sure these structures are constructed to the highest possible standards; standing around pointing fingers like a bunch of silly little children will not ensure that structures like this are constructed to safely meet any future unexpected, unforeseen events. Michael goes on to say he stood up against Prosperity Mine, with, what he claims, is the inevitable pollution of the Fish Creek watershed. The failure of Prosperity Mine had nothing to do with the environment or pollution. The only reason Prosperity Mine was not approved

is simply because a greater number yelled and screamed that they did not want the mine in their back yard. Regarding copper and iron not being good for fish the Taseko and Chilco Lake watersheds are highly mineralized, historically leaching both iron and copper. Fish on both the Taseko and Chilco Rivers seem to be doing very well on the diet that includes this natural occurring mineralization. The failure of the dam was an accident. The fact that no lives were lost would hardly rate Michael’s so-called catastrophic event, on any scale of naturally occurring world events. Whether employed by a mine or receiving a monthly government handout, the source is exactly the same — industry and working taxpayers. That is why we need mining. Doug Wilson Williams Lake

Shutting down mine not the answer Editor: Michael Atwood in expressing his opinion raises a few serious questions. Shut down the Mount Polley mine. It does not take much of a financial calculation to recognize the unmitigated community disaster this would be. Hundreds of employees without the means to support their families, hundreds more in the community, some with large personal investment and several employees providing services to the mine, left withering in the wind. Shutting down the Mount Polley Mine is simply not an option. Michael also goes on to suggest that Mount Polley could be fined a billion dollars. This is vigilantism, hang the perceived villain, fair trail, we have no time for that. Certainly an accident has occurred but before we start stringing the rope over limb, we should first

Fassbender needs to do his job Editor: Mr. Fassbender. Bottom line. As the minister of education you are legally responsible through the B.C. School Act for the requirement that the children of this province receive an education. The fact that the B.C. Teachers’ Federation can be characterized as being principled or greedy, fool-

ish or stubborn does not negate that fact. Mr. Fassbender, you need to do your job and whether by negotiated settlement, legislated settlement, binding arbitration, or a labour relations board imposed cooling off period, get your students and, yes, your teachers, back into schools where we all belong.

GMO food has its place Editor: I read an interesting article pertaining to GMO (genetically modified organism) food in the Aug.10 issue of Bloomsburg Businessweek. According to this article, 75 per cent of the food in our grocery stores contains some GMO. The cost of our food has been reduced 30 per cent by the use of GMO. The first GMO food

was tomatoes, introduced in l982. Previous to that tomatoes were handpicked. However, the tomatoes at that time were too fragile to be successfully picked by machine so, using GMO, a firmer and blockier tomato (that would not roll off the conveyer belt) was developed. Contrary to the expectation that this would negativley impact the labour sector, the reduced price of

tomatoes led to creation of many more jobs. It seems safe to assume that all canned tomato products contain GMO tomatoes. GMO corn yields were doubled with GMO technology, so most corn products such as syrup or starch come from GMO corn. Practically all sugar beets and soy beans are now GMO. Other goals of GMO research are the

Education and other plumbing problems Editor: There are many issues that are brought down the pipe which fertilize the discontent of students and teachers. But the blockages in the system are created by the government, the union and the administration of their own rules. For a teacher to improve their own plot in the classroom there needs to be tools that will accomplish that end. Pro-D days are not evaluated and shown to increase the educa-

tion of the workforce. People should be hired and evaluated by their willingness to progress in their field of study. Accredited courses and certificates should be offered to teachers to work on through the year if they wish to do them on Pro-D days. This would be measurable and should be an aspect of the hiring process. Extracurricular participation is key to students well being but form work and hoops to jump through that have leaked into the system by the insur-

Arts council opens up membership

Book Signing Local Author, Pat MacKay, will be signing her book at the Centennial Celebration for the Outpost Hospital in Alexis Creek September 13th starting at 1:00 pm

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The Williams Lake Community Arts Council is inviting individuals to join the council this year. “Traditionally CAC has been just for the various artist groups, but we are now inviting individuals to become members as well,” says council secretary Sharon Hoffman. “Members can be involved in as few or as many projects as they want.” She encourages people interested in joining the council to attend the society’s annual general meeting coming up Thursday, Sept. 16 at 6 p.m. at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre next to city hall. The side door off the patio closest to city hall will be open. “I have really enjoyed working with

In addition to spon-

soring two of the Performances in the Park concerts this summer, Hoffman says the arts council members spearheaded the yarn bombing project which saw city trees and fences in the downtown core decorated with colourful crochet and knitted images through the summer.

She says more than 100 local artists as well as children and seniors who are not arts council members participated in the yarn bombing project. The arts council also had the colourful ground mural painted next to the washrooms in Boitanio Park and sponsored art classes for children with the

Child Development Centre. She says the arts council is in the process of applying for gaming dollars for other projects. To qualify for the gaming grants the arts council needs at least 17 members to attend the annual general meeting on Sept. 16.

In 1914, the Alexis Creek Hospital first opened its doors, and it has remained open in one form or another for the past century. Today, it is called the Alexis Creek Health Centre, and is operated by Interior Health. “What stories this old building could tell from the last 100 years — from the joy of the birth of a newborn, to the sadness that accompanies the death of a loved one. I am pleased to have been a part of it for

nearly a quarter century,” says Engelbert, who retired in 2007 and still resides in Alexis Creek. Physicians and staff, both former and current, and residents are invited to attend a celebration at the Alexis Creek Community Hall this Saturday, Sept. 13. An afternoon tea will be held from 1-3 p.m., and there will be historical photos and accounts on display as well as old-fashioned games. Horse-and-wagon tours will travel from the community hall to the health centre. A cake cutting and recognition event will be held at 4 p.m., with a potluck dinner to follow at 5:30 p.m., when residents and former employees will be invited to share their stories. “The old hospital has a distinguished and proud history in Alexis Creek,” says Donna Barnett, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA. “I wish to offer my congratulations as we mark 100 years of medical care for the residents there, and

my gratitude to the dedicated physicians and nurses who have served the community over the last century.” The exact date the original hospital opened in Alexis Creek is unclear. Historical records show that a local rancher named Alex Graham recognized the need for medical care and recruited Dr. William Wright to come to the area in 1912. Dr. Wright set up practice in a small cabin so he could care for patients while the hospital was being built. It opened its doors some time in 1914 and saw a number of physicians and nurses serve there over the years. In 1949, the Red Cross Society took over management of the facility and it was known as the Alexis Creek Red Cross Outpost Hospital for the next 56 years. In 2005, the Red Cross transferred all its Outpost hospitals to the provincial government. Interior Health took over management at that time and

it eventually became the Alexis Creek Health Centre. Today, the Health Centre is open five days per week, Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with on-call care available after hours and on weekends for urgent matters.

Cheryl Chan has been gardening for more than 25 years and has never seen a double zucchini like the one she found in her garden last week. She says another friend who is 70 and has been gardening most of her life told her she had never seen one either. “It kind of reminds me of a smiley face,” says Chan, who missed the deadline last week to show it at the Harvest Fair over the weekend but brought it to the Tribune/Advisor because she wanted people to see it. Chan says zucchini has lots of uses. She sometimes shreds and freezes it for baking zucchini cakes, slices on an angle and brushes it with olive oil and garlic to grill on the barbecue, or bakes or roasts it in the oven or barbecue. Since this zucchini is so special she plans to share it with friends who meet once a week to share dinner together. “We have friends over for dinner once a week and I am always look-

FALL IS HERE Time to get your vehicle ready for winter!

Visibility starts with your windshield Visibility is an essential component of automotive safety. Inability to clearly see the road, other motorists and potential obstacles is a leading contributor to automotive accidents and injury. Approximately half of all fatalities due to motor vehicle crashes occur at night, even though traffic volume is substantially less at night. Lack of visibility, which may result from a dirty windshield or inclement weather, can render pavement markings nearly invisible or throw off drivers’ senses of direction. Poor visibility can be hazardous, and drivers must take steps to ensure they have maximum visibility at all times, whether it’s day or night or if the weather is poor or fair. One of the best ways to ensure maximum visibility is to keep your windshield clean. Not all windshield washer fluids and wipers are created equally. For example, some washer fluids are ineffective in freezing temperatures. Frozen washer fluid can cause a complete blockage of the system and greatly impair visibility. As anyone who has driven on snowy and/ or salty roads can attest, such substances can quickly gather on windshields, where they crust up and impede visibility. A windshield cleaning system that is not working effectively is a recipe for an acci-

dent. Always read the product label before purchasing washer fluid. Summer blends are only effective when temperatures remain above 0 C. When the mercury dips below freezing, these fluids freeze up. Winter formulas should contain an antifreeze solution that will lower the freezing point of the liquid. Many such fluids employ methanol to not only prevent freezing but also to melt frost and light accumulations of ice. Drivers also may be able to supplement their washer fluids with common items to increase durability during extreme cold snaps. Mix 99 percent

isopropyl rubbing alcohol into the washer fluid to prevent it from freezing. Otherwise, the washer fluid brand may have specific instructions for mixing for use in areas where the temperature regularly dips below freezing. In addition to maintaining an obstruction-free washer fluid system, drivers can reduce accidents from poor visibility

by heeding these tips •Clear your windshield and mirrors before getting on the road. •Drive slow to maintain a safe stopping distance. •Be aware that, when driving in conditions where visibility is impaired, drivers tend to follow the tail lights of the vehicles in front of them. Keep your headlights on to improve your

own visibility and help others see your car. •Don’t slow down so much that you become a hazard to other drivers. •If necessary, pull off the road and wait for conditions to improve. When pulling off, park as far off the road as possible, then turn off your headlights and put on your hazard lights.

Plan your fall foliage road trip Come autumn, thousands of motorists take to the highways and backroads to experience the ever-changing landscape made beautiful by leaves changing colors. Fall foliage road trips make for a fun way to spend a weekend afternoon. With cameras in hand and provisions at the ready, motorists can make the most of their next fall foliage road trip. •Know when to go. Learn the best times of the year to see the peak leaf colors. Mountainous regions and many located in northern latitudes will see changes in leaf color earlier than other regions. Drivers living in certain areas

of Canada, regions of the Rocky Mountains or in particular parts of New England can expect to witness leaves changing color as early as September, while much of the midwest can expect peak color in mid- to late-October. Southern regions may not see leaves change color until November. •Aim for a weekday. Many people plan fall foliage road trips on the weekend. These “leafers” or “peepers,” as they’re sometimes referred to, flood normally empty rural areas and can easily cause traffic jams. Schedule your own trip for a weekday so you can avoid most of the crowds and enjoy a more se-

How to improve winter fuel economy Many motorists notice that their vehicles seem to get less miles per gallon in cold weather than in warm weather. That’s not a trick of the brain, as studies have shown that cars do, in fact, have poorer fuel in economy in cold weather. Fuel economy tests have indicated that, when driving in shorttrip city driving, a conventional gasoline car’s gas mileage is about 12 percent lower at -6 C than it would be at 25 C. The disparity is even greater in hybrid vehicles, which can see their fuel economy decline by roughly 34 percent when driven at -6 C. Before drivers can understand how to improve their winter fuel economy, it’s beneficial to learn why cold weather has such an adverse effect on a car’s fuel economy. A host of factors combine to reduce fuel economy in the winter. When temperatures dip, engine oil and other drive-line fluids also get colder, and this increases engine and transmission friction.

That forces the vehicle to work harder and use more fuel. An engine also takes longer to reach its most fuel-efficient temperature when the weather outside is cold. This won’t have too great an impact on fuel efficiency when taking long trips, but the shorter the trip the less economical the vehicle’s use of fuel will be, as a shorter trip means the vehicle is spending a larger percentage of the overall drive at a less fuel efficient temperature. Another reason fuel economy suffers in the winter is the necessities and certain creature comforts drivers need when driving in the cold weather. Windshield defrosters and vehicle heating systems use a substantial amount of power, and that usage forces the vehicle to expend more energy and use more fuel. And while many drivers consider heated seats one of the greatest automotive inventions known to man, those seats also use up a lot of power that negatively impacts fuel economy.

Fall is a time to prepare homes, vehicles and even our psyches for the arrival of winter. To get your car cold-weather ready, check and repair these items now. •Tire pressure can drop in cold weather. When tires are underinflated, you lose fuel efficiency, so monitor and maintain tire pressure throughout the winter. •Those who live in particularly cold climates should switch from all-season to winter tires. Much as you wear winter boots to provide more traction and protection than sneakers, so should you equip your vehicle with tires that will stand up to winter terrain. •Check on the status of your battery and its

starting power. Cold weather can put more strain on a car battery. A battery that is already weak may not turn over when you need it most. •Replace worn wiper blades and upgrade to a windshield fluid that is rated for subzero temperatures. Each of these items will improve visibility when winter precipitation is making its presence felt. •Schedule an oil change at the beginning of winter. Dirty oil can hinder cold-weather starts and, if coupled with low coolant levels, can make it difficult for the engine to turn over. •Keep jumper cables, a battery booster pack and warning cones in your vehicle.

Falling leaves - a beautiful safety hazard Watching leaves turn brilliant shades of color and fall from the trees is a favorite activity each fall. Drivers travel near and far to witness spectacular and colorful displays of fall foliage, hoping to catch the peak hues in their respective areas of the country. While falling leaves can be a sight to behold, those leaves can become a nuisance to drivers in various ways. Understanding certain inconveniences and safety risks posed by falling leaves can help motorists protect their vehicle and themselves. Staining Leaves can do more than just stain driveways; they also can damage a vehicle’s paint job. Should wet leaves, sap and other chemicals that leach out of the leaves stay on a car for an extended period of time, they can cause an outline stain and damage to the paint. It’s important to manually pick leaves off of the car’s sur- Autumn and driving seem to be tailor-made for one another, face right after they and they can be if motorists exercise caution when driving fall. Do not sweep near fallen leaves. them away; otherwise the leaves can scratch the paint surface. When all the leaves have been removed, thoroughly wash and dry the vehicle. Should stains be present already, use a commercial leaf-stain remover or automotive paint cleaner. Tackle one stain at a time.

Winter is unpredictable… Your tires shouldn’t be!

Check other areas of the car where leaves can become problematic, such as under the vehicle or in the rear exhaust pipe. Slippery surfaces The Car Care Council notes that wet leaves on the surface of roadways can be hazardous. Wet leaves can make roadways quite slippery, even as slippery

as roadways when snow is falling. Drivers should slow down when roads are covered with wet leaves and take turns and off-ramps more carefully. Dry leaves also can pose problems, as they tend to accumulate at the edges of roads, where they easily can obscure curbs or street markings. Leaves may fill

potholes, giving the false impression that a road is smooth and causing damage to tires and suspension systems when drivers drive over them. Autumn leaves may be beautiful to see, but they can complicate driving and fall car care. Motorists should keep their cars clear of leaves and use caution on roadways.

Did you know? Many people are fully attentive when they get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. Motorists are increasingly concerned about rollovers, which are more prevalent in vehicles with a higher profile, such as SUVs and trucks. Rollovers may be caused by improper tire pressure, bad weather, potholes and over-correcting of a vehicle when swerving out of the way. Motorists can, however, reduce their risk of being in a roll-

over accident. • Select SUVs with a wider distance between the tires in the back of the vehicles. This wider stance gives an SUV more stability than those that are narrow and tall. • Keep driving speeds within the recommended range. Higher speeds often contribute to rollovers. • Slow down when navigating turns, especially those on off and on ramps of highways. Slow down

by taking your foot off of the accelerator rather than pressing hard on the brakes. • Maintain proper tire pressure and regularly check if your tires are in good shape. Tire blow-outs may cause rollover accidents. • Distribute items in the car evenly so weight is spread throughout. • Keep an eye out for potholes and other road obstructions that could cause the vehicle to go off balance.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE LOOKS... IS IT?

2014 Art Walk wraps up Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Art Walk and Sale 2014 was a huge success in the lakecity this summer. “Both artists and businesses have told me how happy they are with the art walk this year,” says event co-ordinator Arty the Art Walker Willie Dye who has spent many hours in his comical artist suit promoting the event. A total of 175 passports were completed and handed in by 1 p.m. Saturday in time to qualify for the grand prize, says Dye. By comparison, he said there were about 110 passports completed last year that qualified for the grand prize. Each of the 52 participating businesses also had a prize draw box to go with the work of the artist whose art they had on display. And judging by the number of entries in some of these boxes he estimates that more than 400 people participated in at least some portions of the walk. The draw for the grand prize of a beautiful silver necklace featuring a rutilated quartz stone designed and made by Coun. Geoff Bourdon was made at the wrap up party for artists and participating businesses held Saturday

Saturday evening. The favourite artist this year was quilter/ artistic designer Rita Seibert, followed by airbrush artist William Dalimore in second place and fibre artist Beatrix Linde in third place. The favourite businesses were Eloquence Spa and Salon in first place, The Bean Counter Bistro in second place and Woodland Jewellers in third place. Some of the fun at the closing event included the final live auction of three selfportraits donated by

lakecity leaders to raise funds for Cops for Cancer. Dye’s own portrait of himself as Arty the Art Walker sold for $56.50. School District 27 Superintendent Mark Thiessen’s portrait sold for $55. The silent auction portion of Dr. Glen Fedor’s portrait finished at $115 in efforts to keep his own portrait and support the cause he bid $200 for his own portrait for which he received a huge round of applause. Fedor said he actually did the portrait in one evening. At mid-day Saturday there was also an unveiling ceremony for the city’s newest mural. Williams Lake downtown Business Improvement Area chair Jan Hermiston said she would like to thank Mayor Kerry Cook and city council for approving $5,000 left over from the former Communities in Bloom budget to pay for the mural which was created by Dwayne Davis. Dye says the addition of this mural makes Williams Lake the mural capital of the Cariboo.

Gordon Bettles claims Day of Destruction title Thunder Mountain Speedway’s Day of Destruction on Saturday definitely lived up to its name. “The spectator area was packed with so many fans that it looked like a Stampede weekendsized crowd,” said Tim Westwick, president of TMS. “The rumours of a popular TV show filming at the track may have played a key role in the sellout crowd.” The show, of course, was Pioneer Log Homes’ Timber Kings, who entered a station wagon into the hit to pass and was pitted by Peter, Danielle, Shaun, Duane and Brad from B&J Trucking. The wagon was piloted by John Haynes and, after a spectacular crash into a 21-foot ski boat, it burst into flames. “All drivers involved were unharmed and they ended up coming home with a top-five position,” Westwick said. “We’d also like to thank the Pioneer crew for the donation of a signed custombuilt Timber Kings log bench that was raffled off and won by local youngster, Cody Hurren.” Gordon Bettles finished first in the hit to pass with his father, Brian Bettles, taking second place. Quesnel’s Jason Howlett grabbed the third position. “A huge thank you to Brian from Downtown Towing and Cariboo Towing for putting up an additional $1,500 in hit to pass prize money, as well as to Wyatt and Brad Bednarz from B&J Trucking and Organized Chrome for adding $1,000 to the final prize pot,” Westwick said. “All drivers put on a great trailer and boat race that fans will remember for years to come.” In the local championship event it was a nail biter down to each final main event in all three classes. Quesnel’s Terry Braman took the Bone Stock Mini main event and was tied with Williams Lake’s Shawn Knott going into Saturday’s race. Knott kept pace by grabbing the fast time of the

Gordon Bettles celebrates his Day of Destruction hit to pass win Saturday at Thunder Mountain Speedway. day, so it came down to just three points between the two rivals. Champions from each division will be announced at TMS’s yearend banquet on Oct. 18. In the Pro Mini class it was Allen Roberts winning the main event by narrowly beating out his uncle, Tim Roberts, and close opponent, Marius Dunford. Roberts had a two-point advantage but Tim claimed the ‘A’ dash and the heat with Dunford collecting the fast time. “This championship battle came down to a few points and will be announced at the banquet, as well,” Westwick said. In the Street Stock class three drivers were making a run for the title with John Plumb only three points ahead of his rival and friend, Arnie Kunka, for the top spot entering the race meet, while Westwick solidly held down the third position. Arnie took fast time, but Plumb answered back by winning the ‘A’ dash. Westwick, not to be outdone, made a last-lap pass on the outside of both Plumb and racing legend Shuster Johnson to take the ‘A’ heat.

The Central Interior Hockey League season is just around the corner and the Williams Lake Stampeders would like to invite interested individuals to attend their September-long tryout session. Tryouts will be held at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex every Tuesday and Thursday beginning at 9:15 p.m. each night throughout the month of September. There will be a one-time fee of $50 for tryouts. The team is also looking for a coach and a general manager, or a coach/ general manager. Anyone interested in either position is asked to contact Stampeders’ president Marko Zurak at 250-305-4499.

The main event saw Kunka take the checkered flag with Plumb close behind in second place, while Westwick was caught up in a crash that saw veteran Haynes and youngster Donny Kunka tangle and enter the wall hard in turn three. Donny was treated by volunteer paramedics at the track and later at hospital for precautionary measures and was released with a clean bill of health. The Street Stock championship was decided by a mere two points and the winner will be announced at the October banquet. “I’d like to thank all the fans,

local sponsors, volunteers and drivers for what was one of the best race seasons in recent TMS history,” Westwick said. “Record-breaking attendance, a vast increase in local race car counts and a renewed commitment from several local businesses and supporters made for a great 2014 race season.” Tickets for the upcoming 57th annual AGM and awards banquet will soon be available at the Hobbit House or from any TMS executive member.

Team impresses coach in 25-16 loss The first-year Williams Lake Sabercats minor football team dropped a heartbreaker Saturday at Masich Stadium in Prince George in its season opener. “We played so well against an experienced Vanderhoof Vikings team,” said head coach Dionte Jelks. The Vikings put the game out of reach on a late onside kick in the fourth quarter, giving them a 25-16 victory. The Sabercats, however — a team of seven to nine year olds — have nothing to be ashamed of, Dionte said, as the game against Vanderhoof was the group’s first ever in the Prince George Minor Football League. Noe Jelks scored on the first play of the first quarter on a 60-yard jaunt on a hand-off from quarterback Liam Gilroy. Noe finished the contest with 132 yards and two touchdowns on six carries, along with seven solo

Cole Armond added a touchdown and 68 yards on four carries with a one-point conversion. Gilroy, meanwhile, was flawless on offence and played tough defence, making several open field tackles that of a veteran football player,

Dionte said, while Gilroy was able to track down a Vikings player from 20 yards behind to make a solid tackle. “Our key word this week was ‘desire,’” Dionte said. “It was an outstanding effort for such a young player to understand the meaning of the word desire and display those same characteristics and efforts on the field,” he said. “I was pumped

The youngest competitor was five years old and some of our elderly competitors were 70 and older.” In total, 339 barrel racers competed at provincials during the weekend. “Competitors had nothing but great things to say about the finals in Williams Lake and everyone is looking forward to coming back here for the 2015 finals, which will be held Labour Day weekend,” Pozzobon said. Riders needed three clean runs to qualify for one of the top spots in each category, which were separated into age divisions and then further broken down into multiple groups.

The third reason is the mighty 6.2L engine with dominate. The top Yukon Denali model traditionally 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Because this engine represents about 35 per cent of all Yukon sales but and the 5.3L have direct injection, variable value timin the first few months of sales, it has captured more ing and most importantly, cylinder management, the than 60 per cent.

Question of the Week

V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption. With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year. AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg. Verdict The Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 5.3L V8 with 355 hp or 6.2L V8 with 420 hp Fill-up: 16.2L/11.4L/100 km (city/highway) Sticker price: $51,800-$75,540

ley, Aston Martin, BMW, Cadillac, Lincoln and Mustang. This year’s Canadian Concours d’Elegance classes include 100th

anniversary of Maserati, 50 years of Mustang, 50 years of Jensen, 50 years of Sunbeam Tigers, The British Invasion, American Supercars, Modified Luxury and Modified Supercars, Chromes and Fins, Off Road Luxury, 50 years of Chevelle and GTO, Italian Supercars, Restomod, and Pre-First World War (Brass Era). Look out for the Pagani Huayra, which is powered by a 720-horsepower twin turbo engine, the fastest car to go around the BBC TV program Top Gear’s test track. Also worthy of a lingering look will be the P1 McLaren, one of only seven in Canada; a 2015

Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4, making its debut here; a 2014 Rolls Royce Ghost Majestic Horse Edition, a 2015 BMW i8, the new electric luxury car; and a 2015 Aston Martin V12 S Roadster, arriving directly from Pebble Beach for its Canadian debut. Those with racing in their blood should enjoy the 2015 GT Speed, the fastest Bentley ever produced, very rare Weissach Porsche 917K, a Saleen S7R race car, a 1933 Alfa Romeo

6C 1750 GS 6th Series, which is a winner of the Gold Cup at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy, a 1957 Maserati 200 Si once owned by Franco Cornacchia & Carroll Shelby and one of only 28 built. Also expected are a 1937 Bugatti type 57 and a 1964 revision Buick Riviera ‘Ridler Award Winner’. It’s not all about cars though. A partnership with Oakridge Centre has produced a fashion pavilion which will stage

six shows throughout the weekend – three each day. ‘Casual Elegance’ will be the focus of the first show of the day on the runway at 1 p.m. then ‘Seasonal Silhouettes’ at 2 p.m. and ‘Fashion Forward at 3 p.m. More than 100 luxury retailers, including automotive, music, art, gourmet food suppliers, top Vancouver restaurants, champagne, wine and spirits companies, will be represented at the event. Other highlights include

a James Bond Ultimate Entertainment Bungalow by Inform Interiors, EA Sports’ “Need for Speed” hospitality/gaming tent and a Ferrari Maserati Pavilion, featuring Hawksworth Restaurant. Single day tickets are $50 and VIP tickets (19+), which include lunch and adult beverages, are $100 per person, per day.

Preventing gang activity in BC ▾ MYTH: Once kids join a gang there’s no hope for them: Reality: With quick family, school, and police intervention, a youth can leave the gang without any serious consequences. They key is a coordinated and collaborative intervention as soon as some of the warning signs appear. Better yet, everyone needs to work together to prevent youth and young adults from joining gangs.
