Pilot Len Brown stands beside his Luscombe 8F two-seater airplane parked on frozen Williams Lake in front Gideon Schuetze’s house.
Love of flying frozen in time Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Once the winter weather starts to change Len Brown makes it a daily habit to check on his Luscombe 8F two-seater airplane. That’s because he parks it all winter in front of Gideon Schuetze’s place on frozen Williams
Lake. “We have a couple of weeks left before we’ll have to move them off,” Brown said as he stood alongside his plane one day this week. “Every day I have to move it over because the sun’s reflection off the plane melts the ice beneath.” The blue plane next to his belongs to his son Ryan.
Pointing to the ice about 20 feet away from his plane he said the ice over there is only about an inch and a half thick now. The planes were parked on that section less than two weeks ago. Brown said he’s always a little sad when it’s time to move off the ice because the ice lets you gotmore places.
“And we like when there’s snow on the ice because it’s easier to steer.” Brown grew up just outside of Moncton, N.B. and got his private pilot license in 1968 when he was 22. See FLYING Page A5

Volunteers ready to help with tax returns Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Community Volunteer Income Tax Preparation Program is reminding people of its free income tax services. “We are a group of long-time volunteers,” said Surinderpal Rathor of the 40-plus-year-old program. “We’ve all gone through training and screening. In fact in 2016 we will need to have criminal record checks done.” There are some restrictions to who the volunteers can help, Rathor explained.
Services offered through the program are available to single people with a maximum income of $30,000, a couple with a combined income of $40,000, for an adult and one child with an income of $35,000 and an additional $2,500 for each child. Clients must have an interest income of less than $1,000. Additionally, volunteers cannot prepare returns for people who are deceased, bankrupt or self-employed. However, each situation is taken on its own merit. “If someone comes

While the program is not a government agent, volunteers encourage everyone to do their income tax re-
turns because there are benefits. Six sittings with volunteers are scheduled in March.
Three are open to residents only at Glen Arbor on March 10 from 10 to 11:30 a.m., Seniors Village on
March 11 from 1:30 to 3 p.m., and Sunset Manor on March 17 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. The other three sessions, open to the general public, will take place at the Seniors Activity Centre March 12, 10 a.m. to noon, Salvation Army March 10, 10 to 11:30 a.m. and the Immigration and Multicultural Services Society March 24, 10 to 11:30 a.m. Clients can also drop off their tax information papers at either the Seniors Activity Centre or the Women’s Contact Society, or call Rathor at 250-3920909.
Professionals collaborate on youth mental health issues Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer For the second year in a row, professionals involved with mental health of youth met for an opportunity to enforce team-based care. A Child and Youth
Mental Health Collaborative in Williams Lake was one of many created by Interior Health last year. The initiative has now spread throughout B.C. has resulted in 20 actions teams, said Dr. Glenn Fedor who heads up the
collaborative along with project manager Anna Meyers and Matt Neufeld, executive director of the Boys and Girls Club. “These teams were given initiatives to do locally and one of ours was to create awareness and build

AN APPLE A DAY...
In March, we put the spotlight on poison prevention to raise awareness of possible sources of poisoning in our homes. Examples include little soft pillows of detergent for our dish and clothes washers. Purses may contain medications, toothpaste, nicotine sources (cigarettes, gums, e-cigarettes) and alcohol found in perfumes, hand sanitizers and mouthwash. Look carefully at these poisoning sources and keep your children safe. Sometimes, when we reach for another sugar-containing soft drink, it is beneficial to imagine how much exercise it takes to burn off those extra calories. Most of these drinks contain 150 to 170 calories and 41 to 46 grams of sugar. To work off one can, you would have to walk at medium speed for 38 minutes; run 6 mph for 13 minutes; ride a bike for 17 minutes. Kind of puts it into perspective. Compression stockings have their greatest pressure at the ankle and reduce going up the leg. They are helpful in preventing deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the lower leg). They may relieve symptoms and even slow the progress of varicose veins. They also help prevent the blood from pooling in the lower legs which can cause skin breakdown. Your doctor can advise if these stockings will help you. A blood test is perhaps the most common of diagnostic tools. Back in 1884, German scientists found a way to count red blood cells for the very first time. This made diagnosis of anemia much easier. In manners of health, it’s nice to deal with people you know. We’d be happy to get to know you better. Drop in for our brand of service soon.
ent and feeling utterly alone. “I want you all to know that when people struggle with traumas in their lives they don’t even understand they have a choice to make things go differently,” Charleyboy said.

TRU GRIT gala coming up Grab your fedora and swing dancing shoes and get ready for this year’s Thompson Rivers University — Williams Lake gala on March 28. Following the success of last year’s Let’s Go Gatsby theme, this year’s theme is Guys and Dolls, a musical set in the 1930s focusing on New York City mobsters and gambling. To match the theme, Juno nominated, Maple
Blues Award-winners Brandon Isaak and The Twisters, Canada’s Kings of Swing, will be headlining the evening. Local band Third Degree will also be performing. The gala is an annual event organized by TRU GRIT, a group made up of local community members, to raise money for scholarships and bursaries and to promote the university. “We are more en-
thused than ever to be hosting such a worthwhile event to help students continue their education right here in Williams Lake,” says TRU GRIT president Brian Garland. Last year’s gala raised $25,000 and organizers are confident that this year’s total can be doubled to $50,000. All proceeds from the evening go towards scholarships and bursaries awarded
to local students attending the Williams Lake Campus. “We are thankful to local community members and groups such as TRU GRIT, as well as the many sponsors and donors to this event. It is groups and organizations such as these that help keep the university a strong pillar of our community,” said Dr. Ray Sanders, TRU Williams Lake executive
director. Tickets are $120/ person or $960/table of eight. Cocktails will begin at 6 p.m., dinner at 7 p.m. and dancing at 9 p.m. A silent auction and a live auction will also be available throughout the evening. Tickets are available online at tru. ca/williamslake. For information contact TRU marketing co-ordinator Myrissa Krenzler at 250392-8048.

Erin Durrell of the Wineglass Ranch at Riske Creek speaks at the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association’s annual general meeting recently.
The Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association held their annual general meeting on Friday Feb. 27. The day-long session began at 11 a.m. at the Pioneer Complex and did not conclude until well after 5 p.m. One of the guest speakers on the agenda was local rancher, Erin Durrell. The daughter of Brian Durrell and Jane Eagle, Erin spent her formative years immersed in the cattle industry as a child grow-
ing up on the Wineglass Ranch at Riske Creek. Home-schooling afforded Erin (and siblings Ian and Keely) the flexible schedule that allowed them to participate in the daily chores and activities that keep a cattle-ranch operational. Recently, Erin applied for a place in a nationwide cattle industry program named Cattlemen’s Young Leaders and was fortunate to be selected from a large group of candidates for the yearlong adventure which pairs the young aspiring cattle operator with
a knowledgeable person to mentor them in the particular sector of the cattle industry that they indicated the most interest in. Erin spoke eloquently regarding her travels and experiences made possible by her participation in the Cattlemen’s Young Leaders program thus far. Erin is the second Cariboo area rancher selected for the program. CCA President, Cuyler Huffman was involved last year. For more visit www. cattlemensyoungleaders.com.
Flying offers freedom for lakecity resident Continued From Page A1 Luscombes have been his preferred plane since 1971 and the one he has now he’s owned since 1987. They can fly just about anywhere, he said of Luscombes. He’s flown to the East Coast of Canada from Williams Lake, a trip that takes 26 hours going east and 30 hours west because of head winds. “I’ve done it two
times,” he said, adding he’s also flown to Inuvik and back, California and Arizona in the same type of plane. “As pilots like to say, it’s a favourite because it dives deeper and comes up drier.” Luscombes were designed in 1939 to be better, faster and slower, all at the same time. “These go as fast or faster, even at today’s standards,” Brown explained. “Since 1945/46 they still hold land speed
records.” There are some shortcomings though, he admitted, noting they are tricky on the ground and finicky to handle. And the cabin is very crammed for two people. “But you don’t actually ride in them, you kind of zip em’ on and away you go,” Brown chuckled as he encouraged this reporter to climb in and see what it felt like to be inside.

inder head and engine rebuilding. For him flying is a sport and nothing he’s ever intended to do professionally. “A sports flyer can go whereever he wants,” he said. “People who fly are a great group of people to fly with, too.” Lorraine loved flying and went everywhere with him. She even made some special custom cushions for the plane. “One for the floor
that had a big hole to allow the rudder pedals to stick through and move while she was sleeping. And then she had a half round with a pillow built for her corner by the door.” Almost nine years ago Brown lost Lorraine to heart failure without them knowing exactly why. “She flew with me all the time,” he said, as he looked up in the sky. “I think she still does.”

Let’s talk about women’s day Cards won’t be exchanged around the city this Sunday (March 8) on International Women’s Day, and that’s all right. Because it’s the thought that counts — thought and action and change. International Women’s Day is observed to varying degrees around the world, most markedly in eastern Europe, where celebrations include cards, flowers, gifts and good deeds. We could do the same here, but then again, another Valentine’s Day or another Mother’s Day might muddy the message. Hopefully we already acknowledge our love and affection for our mothers, daughters, grandmothers, granddaughters, sisters, aunts, nieces, wives and girlfriends. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pay attention each year when women’s day comes up on the calendar. Women’s issues are humankind’s issues, and we should forever strive for gender equality. This occasion is a chance to carry on a conversation, one
that could lead any number of ways. The official United Nations women’s day theme for 2015 is Empowering Women, Empowering Humanity, and a major UN initiative right now is the He For She campaign urging men and boys to advocate for women and girls. The UN’s themes should get us thinking and talking, and there is no shortage of other topics. Missing and murdered indigenous women come to mind, and gender violence in general. We’re seeing cavalier attitudes toward date rape and sexual assault on Canadian college campuses and elsewhere. In a society that is still so atavistic, it’s more difficult to even start talking about more modern issues like gender disparity in politics and corporate boardrooms. It shouldn’t be difficult. Because those women we mentioned a few paragraphs back, mothers, daughters, sisters, etc., those are the ones for whom we’re advocating, too.

LCSS TOUR BAND HEADS TO EUROPE
Gaeil Farrar photo
Amanda Yonkman (left), Mackenzie Howse, and Noah Ryll were among the very excited group of Lake City Secondary School Tour Band students who headed off for a tour of Europe on Thursday afternoon. The students rehearsed the songs they will perform on the tour in their final practice night in an informal concert for family and friends at the Williams Lake campus on Wednesday evening. After the practice they joked about how Mackenzie has been literally counting down the seconds until they leave since before Christmas. She started at somewhere around six million seconds and was down to 76,394 seconds to lift off when we spoke Wednesday evening. Directed by band teacher Laura Eilers, a total of 19 members of the tour band are making the trip which includes visits to Vienna, Salzburg, Venice, Florence and Rome. Amanda and Mackenzie are looking most forward to performing in Salzburg while Noah is looking forward to Rome. The band will play nine songs at each date, some with local band students. James Still says some of the band students have been packed for a month.

Resurrected roast evolves into a familiar comfort food On Sunday I decided to try a new recipe for cooking a roast. Cooking meat is not my strength. I’m more about the sides and salads. We had our son’s final game for midget house hockey Sunday at 5:15 p.m. and his team was going for gold. I still wanted to make a nice dinner so I found a recipe that said you could cook a roast in an hour. But when we pulled it out at 4:20 p.m., hoping it would be done it was pretty raw. Even though there are medium rare lovers in the house,

my husband insisted it was too rare. So we turned the oven off, left the roast and agreed we’d deal with it later. Three hours later, home with a silver medal under our son’s belt, we popped the roast back in the oven. Unfortunately we forgot
about it until 10 p..m and by then it was as tough as an old leather shoe. I tucked it in the fridge, not wanting to waste food, and forgot about it. That was until Wednesday when I stayed home with a head cold to rest up. Our middle son had been fighting the cold too. I figured it was time to make some soup for the both of us. Recalling a favourite childhood comfort food, although it usually came from a can, I set out to make some Scotch Broth. I chopped an onion, four
carrots and the tough meat. Then I remembered I’d set out to make soup on Monday night with a chicken carcass, so I poured that stock into the pot and picked out the bones. Once the soup had simmered for about an hour, I added a cup of bot parley and some salt for taste. By noon the soup was ready and I was happy with the results. As I was slurping it and could feel it warming my head and heart, I was reminded how simple things really need to be in this complicated world.
Then I remembered being home for lunch in Grade 1. I had urged my mom to put milk in my canned vegetable soup because it was too hot. “You don’t like milk in vegetable soup,” she replied. I convinced her I did and then sat there for several minutes trying to get it down. I haven’t had canned soup in decades. I really enjoy making it by scratch because soup helps resurrect cooking disasters. Monica Lamb-Yorski is a staff writer with the Tribune/ Weekend Advisor

Pay down that student loan, or else In a recent speech, Premier Christy Clark quipped that while teenagers tend to be lazy, there is a limit. If your kid is still on the couch after age 30, she said, he’s not a teenager any more. “He’s a New Democrat.” Clark’s ‘get off the couch and get a job’ message is now being translated into government policy. The B.C. government is using one of the few tools available to it to track down people who aren’t paying off their student loans, by linking defaulted debt to driver’s licence renewals. There are “hardship” provisions for those who don’t have a job. ICBC will only refuse to renew a driver’s licence or vehicle plates for those who have let their student debt go for a year without making some effort to deal with it. Student debt collection is a long-standing problem for the province, with about $185 million currently on the books as defaulted and unpaid. Students naturally move around after completing their studies, and once the six-month grace period for beginning to repay student loans expires, finding those who aren’t paying becomes a costly effort. Historically governments sent defaulted debt to collection agencies. Last year $17.3 million was collected. How big is student debt these days? The subject was discussed briefly in the legislature last week. In question period, NDP leader John Horgan reminded the
government that tuition fees have doubled over the past decade, and cited a Bank of Montreal estimate that the average university student emerges from a four-year program owing $35,000 in student loans. With his usual modesty and tact, Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson dismissed Horgan’s accusation that he is indifferent to the plight of students. Wilkinson noted that the Bank of Montreal surveyed 602 students across Canada, and only 78 of them were in B.C. “To clarify this, and to address the cackling chickens on the other side, we have 430,000 students in our system,” Wilkinson said. “Some of them are part-time; some of them are on short courses. We have 180,000 students who are in the system full-time and eligible for student aid. “Of those 180,000 students, 45,000 turn to the province for financial aid — meaning that 75 per cent of students, more than what was quoted on the CBC yesterday, go through their education without incurring debt through the provincial student aid program.” Whatever the amount owing is for an individual, it’s a debt that will be more difficult to avoid paying. The province has long used the withholding of driving privileges to collect unpaid provincial court fines, and that was recently extended to those who are 90 days in arrears on $25 or more worth of Lower Mainland bridge tolls. This student debt collection
move follows efforts to match up post-secondary funding to areas of employment demand. In an era where misguided university professors use their positions to organize violent protests against job-creating projects, the messages are similar. Variations of this productivity theme are being heard from governments across North America.
The baby boomers are retiring. We are bringing in temporary foreign workers, not because of some right-wing plot, but because too many people growing up in our society refuse to do an increasing range of jobs. We have an education system — and media — that encourages people to complain and make demands to get what they want.
And we are seeing the results of all of this. There was a U.S. president once who said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Cariboo Men’s Choir members Mike Gibbons (back from left), Vic Finnbogason, Rudy Klassen, Ross McCoubrey, Peter James (front from left), Peter Priestman and Brian LaPointe perform during the Seventh Annual Parade of Choirs Sunday at the Cariboo Bethel Church. The event is a fundraiser for the Hough Memorial Cancer Society, who purchases and upgrades equipment for the Cariboo Memorial Hospital. In the seven years the event has been running, it has helped raise more than $15,000 for the HMCS.
Wake up and shake up needed in industry board rooms Tony Kryzanowski, in a recent Logging and Sawmilling Journal article, “Taking action now to avoid hitting the fibre wall” starts with an encouraging prediction of a strong period of long-term growth in the Canadian forest industry. Some of the following reasons are given: The increased exports to China (3,500 per cent in one decade), devalued Canadian dollar and technological changes (high speed computer grading in sawmills). Also helping are impending changes to the National Building Code of Canada allowing for all wood six-storey buildings along with new modular construction products like “cross laminated timbers and structural insulated panels.”
Forest Ink Jim Hilton He goes on to give examples of how our forest industry is much more diversified in its export markets and product mix. The author describes some advances in the bio-economy, like the huge pellet plants and biomass energy plants being constructed in Eastern Canada and a potential bio fuel industry. “Canada hasn’t even scratched the surface regarding the production of green gasoline and diesel from wood fibre
yet which now appears as possibly the next big leap in technological advances.” For one of the first times the market will not limit the growth of the forest industry but the main problem will be the supply of raw materials due mainly to the impact of the pine beetle and global warming implications. He uses the term “hitting the fibre wall” to describe the impending shortage of wood fibre. The recent announcement of the Williams Lake TSA AAC reduction is a good local example of the pending fibre shortage close to home. He also reviews the need to take steps toward developing silviculture practices which help mitigate the impact of global
warming on the future establishment of our forests. Scientists have been tracking growth and yield projections for seedlings and they have evidence that climate change is having an impact in some areas of reforestation. “Looking at maps being generated by scientific experts on the likely impact on Canada’s commercial forest should global warming continue , there is only one word to describe the outcome, scary.” The solution is the proper planting of species better able to adapt to the predicted warming trend. He also believes we should be encouraging more commercial tree farming on private land along with a well managed car-
bon and credit trading program. He ends with this warning. “What concerns me is that while I hear a strong and growing voice from researchers on this issue, I hear very little coming from forest company boardrooms. That has to change — and sooner rather than later — or forest companies might find themselves short of commercial fibre a lot sooner than they think if demand continues to grow and there is no action taken to adapt to climate change.” Jim Hilton is a professional agrologist and forester who has lived and worked in the Cariboo Chilcotin for the past 40 years. Now retired, Hilton still volunteers his skills with local community forests organizations.

Studio Theatre legacy of a passionate playwright Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The Studio Theatre is celebrating its 60th anniversary year with two plays by the club’s founder and noted Canadian playwright, Gwen Pharis Ringwood. The plays Still Stands the House and Garage Sale start a two-week run at the Studio Theatre next week and do so with the involvement of many people whose lives were personally touched by the late playwright. Directed by Cathie Hamm, who grew up friends with the Ringwood family, Still Stands the House stars Sharon Hoffman as Hester, Amanda LeForte as Ruth, Curt Sprickerhoff as Bruce, and Tony Savile as Manning. Directed by Sylvia Swift, Garage Sale stars Michael Rawluk who was mentored by Ringwood as a youth, and Gwen’s daughter Sophia (Susan Ringwood) Schneider. The same team is working behind the scenes for both plays. The producer is Mary-Jo Hilyer; stage manager Brad Lawryk; assistant stage manager and props manager Merla Monroe; set designers Sheryl-Lynn Lewis and Curt Sprickerhoff; lighting designer Micheal Hodgson and Alix Leary; lighting tech and sound design Alix Leary.

The late Gwen Pharis Ringwood, who chose to raise her family in Williams Lake with her husband Dr. Barney Ringwood, was a noted Canadian playwright who inspired the community to start the thriving Studio Theatre which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. In keeping with that celebration the Studio Theatre is starting a two-week run of Gwen’s plays Still Stands the House and Garage Sale next week. Both plays will be staged each performance date. 1950s with her husband Dr. Barney Ringwood. Together they raised four children here and were actively involved with many other established and new families in the community when it came to promoting cultural activities in art, music, and theatre. In Williams Lake Gwen continued the
playwriting career she started as a single university student. She wrote, directed, produced, taught and participated in workshops that continually brought people of many talents together, explains Sophia. She says her mother never tired of her involvement with the
theatre and with young people she mentored and inspired. “They in turn inspired her to keep up with a changing world,” Sophia says. “To this day The Williams Lake Studio Theatre Society involves children and grandchildren of people Gwen enjoyed working with in so many varied ways. I know she would feel deeply moved by being remembered in this way for this anniversary year.” The two plays selected for the 60th anniversary year reflect Ringwood’s work at the beginning and toward the end of her playwriting career, explains Sophia. She says Still Stands the House was written in 1938 when Gwen was a young, single university student working on her masters degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Still Stands the House is a moving and dark reflection on the difficulty of life during the Great Depression and dust bowl years. Both directors Hamm and Swift, have worked behind the scenes on various plays and are directing for the Studio Theatre for the first time. Hamm, says she started reading Gwen’s plays over a year ago and realized that when she read Still Stands the House she just had to direct this play. “When I read the play it jumped into my head,” says director

Who’s my friend? Recently, The Salvation Army here in Williams Lake had a flood. We received approximately 1000 gallons of water in our Drop-in Center. Well like anyone else we roll up our sleeves and got to it. You know, clean it up and wished you had more hands to do it. So as I started contemplating the task at hand I thought of friends and family. Those are the people we normally call when the going gets tough. Now I realize that some of you are fortunate enough to live close to family and friends, yet there are some of you who have left that security because of job placements like myself. You know that got me thinking about what a true friend is. A true friend has your back no matter what obstacle you are facing. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 27:10 “Never to abandon a friend – either yours or your father’s. Then in your time of need, you won’t have to ask your relatives for assistance. It is better to go to a neighbour than to a relative who lives far

I was told by a third party that the owner was a devoted Catholic (church friend from another church – a person I do not even know). The Bible tells us in John 15:12-13 where Jesus’ says “I command you to love each other in the same way that I love you. And here is how to measure it – the greatest love PARSONS PEN is shown when people lay down BY CAPT. BEN LIPPERS their lives for their friends.” Well folks, the fact is that away.” Jesus did lay down his life for So I called some of my you and for me. He bore the adopted family and friends punishment of our sins by (my church family) for help dying on a cross for us. Now and guidance. And quickly we that’s a true friend! started cleaning up the mess, Not only did God send His hauling out the damaged Son to die for us, He also furniture; the soaked drywall promised in Deuteronomy 31:6 and carpet. Then it was time to that “He will neither fail you appraise the damages and get nor forsake you.” He is your quotes. As we were doing this friend! He is always waiting for task, I was totally taken aback you to call on Him. So do not by people coming forward, from wait any longer call on Him my neighbourhood (friends of today.

CDC hosts ice fishing outing Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The sky was blue and the weather was unseasonably warm for the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre’s fourth annual
ice fishing outing for clients and their families Saturday at Chimney Lake. The first year the event was held at Dugan Lake but for the past three years Chimney Lake has been
home to the outing where staff, volunteers, and family pitch in to drill holes in the ice, help students set up and manage their fishing lines, keep a fire going on shore to warm up cold hands and bodies, and put on the lunch. Among the volunteers were Conservation Officers Sgt. Len Butler and Const. Justyn Bell. About 30 people participated in the event seeking to catch a few
Kokanee for the frying pan. Unfortunately no fish were caught but it was a great day for an outing. “This year we had a lot of new families come out which was nice to see,” says CDC supported child development consultant Sherry Kahanyshn who organized the event with CDC child and youth care worker Jose Salazar.

Why You Need Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More...
W. Gifford-Jones, MD
V
itamin C is arguably the single most important water soluble antioxidant in the human body. Antioxidants play a key role in protecting cells against free radicals, which can cause damage and play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases. It’s tragic that researchers are unaware that high doses of vitamin C and lysine cannot only prevent, but reverse atherosclerosis in coronary and other arteries in the body. Vitamin C is needed for the manufacture of collagen, the glue that holds cells together. A lack of vitamin C means poor collagen, resulting in cracks appearing between coronary cells thus setting the stage for fatal blood clot. Recently, Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, made this monumental discovery. He took photos of the retinal arteries and then gave patients 6,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 5,000 of lysine (lysine adds strength to coronary arteries just like steel rods increase the strength of concrete). A year later he repeated the pictures. To his surprise, he found atherosclerosis fading away.

Millions of North Americans also suffer from osteoarthritis. Without sufficient vitamin C to produce collagen, a major component of cartilage, bone eventually grinds on bone. There would be fewer joint replacements if more vitamin C were available to produce healthy collagen. Rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory type, also requires large doses of vitamin C. Every moment of the day our bodies are using oxygen to keep us alive. But oxidation results in metabolic ash, known as “free radicals”, which are believed to trigger an inflammatory reaction in joints. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to reduce damaging free-radicals.
The essential amino acid lysine is probably best known for its use in those with herpes simplex infections but several other benefits have been ascribed to the molecule, including favourable effects on blood pressure and stroke prevention but also a positive influence on mood and anxiety. In addition to providing healthy collagen production and a healthy cardiovascular system, vitamin C and lysine supplementation helps support: • Immune system health • Vision • Teeth and gums • Wound healing • Bones and cartilage • Recovery from shingles • Recovery from herpes outbreaks This is why I’ve been taking high doses of vitamin C and lysine for the last 16 years following a heart attack. I believe it saved my life. Medi-C Plus™, containing high doses of vitamin C and lysine, is available in powder and capsules.

Patients often appear surprised when I tell them that vitamin C will help them keep their teeth a lifetime. By age 65 one in five North Americans has lost all their teeth and many of their teeth were normal. Rather, it was the gums that could no longer hold teeth firmly in place in part due to inadequate amounts of vitamin C. This vitamin is needed in large amounts to produce healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together and keeps gums healthy. Without good mortar bricks fall apart and the same happens when gums lacking collagen lose their grip on teeth.

Bikes offer fun, independence Angie Mindus Staff Writer Students in Arin Buller’s Chilcotin Road elementary resource room are getting a jump on their bicycle riding skills. The students, who all have various special needs, have been given the opportunity to
ride in the school gym Wednesdays all winter as part of their Physical Education. “It’s something they can do without assistance,” says Buller of the many benefits of riding, such as improved balance, muscle tone and brain development. “Their bodies fight
them to do anything, so it’s exhausting. Their little successes are like climbing huge mountains and we celebrate all their achievements.” The resource room offers a special class-
room available for students across the district where the focus is on life skills. Buller says working with the students has many rewards. “They have so much love to give, and they
try so hard.” Some of the bikes used in the program are older, so if anyone is interested in donating a bike to the class, please contact the school at 250-3925455.

The Williams Lake Blue Fins’ Taylor Fitzgerald swims the 200-metre butterfly Sunday during the swim club’s annual Cariboo Dental Swim Meet. Fitzgerald took seven first-place results in multiple events throughout the weekend.
Blue Fins a powerhouse at home meet Featuring 110 swimmers, including 60 from out of town, the competition was fierce last weekend during the Williams Lake Blue Fins’ annual Cariboo Dental Swim Meet. “The meet was a great success with all the swimmers having a great time and swimming fast,” said Blue Fins’ head coach Chad Webb. “So many best times to mention and all great swims this weekend by so many different swimmers. I was particularly impressed with how well the meet ran with so many volunteers and support from the community.” Of note, swimmers who competed at their very first swim meet were: Parker Barbie Bruce, Journey Campbell, Steven Campbell, Eric Haseldine, Helen Herman, Ashlynn Jennings, Evie MacDougall, Cristell Panida, Ashton Petruk, Mekena Petruk, Dane Ramier, Livia Seabourne, Aubrey Silver, Quentin Silver, Brett Jones and Harmony Lycette. Webb said notable swims were from Kenna Saunders in the 200-metre butterfly making her first ‘AAA’ provincial time with a firstplace result. Cole Turner, meanwhile, achieved his second qualifying time as he swam the 100-metre backstroke to a second-place finish and a ‘AA’ provincial time. Liam McCreight finished off the weekend with

Bullets win interclub challenge with Vortex A season long competition encouraging all speed skaters to strive toward their personal bests came to a close last Thursday for the Williams Lake Bullets Speed Skating Association. The Bullets recorded a win during the Interclub Personal Best Challenge against the Vernon Vortex. Racers from both clubs were timed once a month at a set distance and, using a mathematical formula based on net times, incremental points were awarded individually for skaters who made the most improvement on their personal best time. All skaters were awarded points for participation. Monthly club totals based on individual results were

Stampeders to challenge Regals for Coy Cup berth Greg Sabatino Staff Writer One team will be chopped the weekend of Friday, March 13 when the Williams Lake Stampeders challenge the Powell River Regals for a berth at the 2015 Coy Cup Senior Men’s ‘AA’ Championship. “It’s going to be an unlucky day for somebody,” joked Stampeders president Marko Zurak of the Friday the 13th reference, noting the series will be a best-of-three. Game one goes March 13, followed by game two March 14 and, if necessary, game three on March
15. All three games will be played in Powell River. “They have a decent team, and I think it will be fairly good games,” Zurak said. “We’re hopeful we can go in there and do what we need to do. It would be nice to get another shot at Terrace.” The Terrace River Kings recently defeated the Stampeders in the Central Interior Hockey League playoff finals in a gruelling three-game set. In the other senior men’s backdoor challenge for a Coy Cup slot the Fort St. John Flyers defeated Whitehorse to earn a spot. During last year’s
Coy Cup Championship, hosted in Williams Lake, the Stampeders defeated the River Kings in the final to claim its third Coy Cup in franchise history. During this year’s 2014/15 CIHL regular season the Stampeders finished with a 15-win, one-loss record. The Regals play an independent schedule under the supervision of the BC Amateur Hockey Association, which qualified them for a chance to play at the provincial championship. This year’s Coy Cup will be hosted by the Fort Nelson Yeti from March 24-28.
Bullets. “I got to know Mike Hall, coach of the Vernon Vortex. He suggested the In-
terclub Challenge as a way to motivate the kids in both clubs, and to provide a monthly race environment to help prepare the racers for sanctioned meets.” No stranger to competition, Hall is a former Olympian, competing for Canada at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics. “With credentials like that, you leap to take his suggestion,” Johnson said. “Mike has been an incredible support and mentor to our coaching team.” Johnson added the interclub competition achieved its objective. All skaters made very significant improvements in their personal best times, and became more comfortable and look forward to timed rac-

Additional points were also awarded to skaters who achieve personal bests at sanctioned meets. Johnson said though improvements in their racing is important, the focus with the skaters remains on participation and fun. “We’re committed to providing a supportive environment for kids to improve their fitness and participate in sports in a fun environment,” she said.
