Emergency notification system launched Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer In an area where cell service or even a traditional landline isn’t a given, Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond said he’s relieved there’s an emergency notification system coming to the region. “We have had particular issues
in rural areas where people don’t necessarily have phone service, but learned they had Internet access to phone by satellite,” Richmond said. After the wildfire season of 2010 he said it became apparent the Cariboo-Chilcotin needed a way to communicate with residents quickly and accurately during emergencies.
Five years later the CRD, in partnership with the districts of 100 Mile House and Wells, Quesnel and Williams Lake, will launch the Everbridge Emergency Notification System free of charge to provide mass emergency notifications throughout the region. It will go in effect on May 5, 2015. “This option provides people,
particularly from a rural area, with the ability to receive information by texts, e-mail, work or cell phone,” Richmond said. “It’s been a collaborative effort, saying we need to do something better.” Previously the CRD would notify people using a call list, but that didn’t always work for everyone.

25th Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo starts tonight It will be all things cowboy and cowgirl as the 25th annual Indoor Rodeo gets underway in the lakecity today at the Cariboo Memorial Complex. Always popular, this year’s three-day event has activities geared to all ages. The Gustafson’s Dodge Cowboy Carnival for children runs today from 9 to 11 a.m. It’s a great way for kids to try a little of the roping and riding rodeo action they will see later in the day and get a feel for what its like to be a real cowboy or cowgirl. Sponsored by Gustafson’s Dodge the
completely free event is packed with fun for children aged 10 and under featuring dummy roping, stick horse barrel racing, horseshoes and a cowboy boot toss. Of course the favourite bucking barrel will be back and there will be a real life pony returning for children to pet. Children will also get a chance to meet the indoor rodeo clown Dennis Halstead and watch a Clint Gray magic show. The first rodeo kicks off tonight at 6 p.m. with two more rodeo performances on Saturday and Sunday at 1

The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex is the place to be this weekend for the 25th annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo. Last year rodeo fans packed the arena for all three performances.
p.m. Rodeo slack runs Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m “Rodeo remains as one of the true forms of family entertainment,” president Kelly Walls says in her invitation to the rodeo. The rodeo is family oriented and part of the old west heritage which began at a ranching level when it was part of the job to ride, break horses, rope cattle and such, Walls says. “Rodeo is such a big part of Williams Lake and the surrounding area that we have a large group of local cowboys and cowgirls that compete every year at our rodeo.”
There will be musical entertainment both Friday and Saturday evenings. On Friday, music by Akimbo will raise the roof from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. Saturday’s everpopular barn dance features Lee Dinwoodie, whose inspiration stems from a deep kind of musical energy that comes from a solid family and tradition. The Cowboy Hall of Fame inductees Tom Desmond, Bob Kjos, Coldwell Ranch and Charlie Coldwell will be honoured during the Sunday performance. The Lions serve breakfast Saturday and Sunday mornings.

AN APPLE A DAY... April is Oral Health Month. Good oral health begins during pregnancy. Mothers-to-be need adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D to build strong bones and teeth. In young children, parents should brush their teeth for them until they are able to do a good job themselves...around the age of 6 or 7. Teach them how to floss as well. Good oral hygiene can translate into good general health. December 2014 saw the 60th anniversary of the discovery of the Salk polio vaccine. Prior to that time, the approach of summer meant “polio season”. Today’s parents can’t begin to understand the horror parents then felt about the possibility of their children being inflicted with polio because prior to the vaccine, the disease crippled 35,000 children every year. When the elderly start showing signs of dementia (memory loss, confusion, loss of ability to do everyday tasks, apathy and withdrawal, problems with language), it’s important to rule out causes that might be controllable. The problem might be medication. As we age, our bodies handle drugs a little more slowly so a simple reduction in dose might be necessary. Anti-anxiety drugs, sedatives, narcotics, anti-seizure drugs and even some antibiotics can cause dementia. Our pharmacists would be glad to check your drug profile for you. Our pharmacists can review your drug record for those that may cause potential dementia problems. We are never too busy to talk to you about your medications.

Despite changes in personnel, the Conservation Officer Service’s provincial predation co-ordinator position will remain in place, Chief Conservation Officer Doug Forsdick said Wednesday. For the last few years Darryl Ashworth has held the position, however, a few weeks ago he was moved back into the COS office in
Williams Lake to be an additional officer. A senior inspector, Mark West, out of Prince George who oversees the Omineca region, is now the new provincial co-ordinator. “It’s a bit more streamlined so that coordination role will be done by someone who is on our provincial leadership team,” Forsdick said. “That position has been in place for about three years,” Forsdick
said. “The intent was to get predator conflict committees up and running in different parts of the province.” Six hundred ranchers have been engaged so far and that’s not going to stop.” Forsdick insisted. “Delivery on the ground on the front end is going to be exactly the same. Our conservation officers will still attend and verify livestock losses and when

it fits into the appropriate criteria will also do the mitigation work.” The highest concentration of livestock predator conflicts happen in the Cariboo region so Ashworth will be able to enhance the COS service’s ability to deal with those issues out on the ground, he added. “I think there was a misconception that the program was over,” Forsdick said. “We are going to continue to do the work, to do the mitigation and continue to train producers so they can do self-verification.” He described the staff changes as an internal “tweak” to the program by putting a different person in the co-ordinator role while “enhancing” Williams Lake with an additional position.

meeting with ranchers to date, but will begin the transition period soon with Ashworth, Forsdick said. “Again, that co-ordinator position is for that person to set up and initiate relationships in the province and then it’s up to the local COs to continue to build those relationships with the producers.” Echoing Forsdick, Sgt. Len Butler said the whole idea of the predator control program is to assist producers to help themselves. “We have the highest number of producers in the province in our area,” Butler said. “With our number of guys, we looked at how best can we help and decided the best way is to get them to help themselves, get the BC Trappers involved, get everyone to the table.” Butler said the COS does the best it can with limited resources, gaining in some places and in other places still struggling. Having Ashworth back on his team is a bonus, Butler said. “It’s boots on the ground to do more work,” he said.

Attendance at mine meeting encouraged Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer City council is encouraging everyone to attend the Mount Polley Mine open house taking place Wednesday, April 22 at the Gibraltar Room from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The meeting is part of the company’s ongoing communications with the community and is a component of the public comment period related to permit applications for the
proposed restart of the mine, the company noted in its invite. “I would encourage not only all of us on council but everyone to be there in support of the information that will be received on the re-opening of the mine,” Mayor Walt Cob said. “I think it’s paramount that as many people as can be there.” Mount Polley will be giving a presentation and asking for feedback, Cobb add-
Police warning of scams Police are warning the public of a recent series of incidences of fraud. One person’s bank account was debited $5,000 after he provided his personal information in response to an e-mail indicating he had an outstanding tax bill. A second person sent $2,500 while trying to purchase a puppy online. The money was sent electronically to someone the purchaser had never met. Police would like to caution people about
divulging any personal information in response to unsolicited requests and to use caution when sending money, especially when the money is being sent internationally. The Williams Lake RCMP are asking the public to contact police with information about this incident or any other crime at (250) 392-6211 or Crime stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

ed. Coun. Scott Nelson said the community and region need to encourage the provincial government to reopen the mine, adding he was curious why the Cariboo Regional District has not taken a position urging the restart. Mayor Walt Cobb said at the last CRD meeting, the board as a whole felt it wanted to remain neutral and couldn’t support whether the mine opened or didn’t
open. “I guess it’s just a difference of opinion, it’s unfortunate in my mind,” Cobb said. He noted in February he wrote a letter to the Minister of Energy and Mines asking to move the restart forward, not necessarily break any rules or anything else, but move as quickly as possible. “At the last CRD meeting, because of my letter, the CRD invited both the Minister of Environment
and Minister of Mines to come and give us an update of where they were with the process,” Cobb said, adding the meeting was held in camera. Nelson said he’s completely disappointed in the CRD leadership not pushing for a restart. “That mine is a very very important generator of jobs, direct and indirect, and at the end of the day we all want to ensure we have a safe environment and I think the
independent report that’s come down is very clear on what took place.” Nelson said he encouraged the CRD to help get the mine opened. “As a resource-based community you expect leaders to be finding ways and solutions.” Mount Polley said representatives from all levels of government have been invited to attend the meeting.“It’s up to the mine to do the public process,” Cobb said.
Police dog helps to track suspects A Williams Lake RCMP police dog helped track two men near 100 Mile House who were facing charges, the 100 Mile House RCMP noted in its weekly bulletin Monday. On Friday, April 10 the RCMP were conducting arrest warrant apprehensions for two males in the 100 Mile area who were facing charges from other jurisdictions. The first was a 25-year-old male fac-
ing charges related to an assault from Dawson Creek who was hiding at a residence in the 108 Mile Ranch, the RCMP said. The male fled the residence but was seen returning a short time later and was apprehended with the assistance of the police dog from Williams Lake. The second was a male hiding at a property at Watch Lake who had warrants re-
lating to 12 charges out of Chilliwack and Abbotsford. He fled from an outbuilding on the property and a perimeter was set up around Watch Lake while he was tracked by the police dog, noted the RCMP, adding witnesses confirmed the suspect had taken a boat across Watch Lake. When the abandoned boat was located on the northern shore, the police dog
tracked the male to where he had been hiding by a fence. He refused to comply with commands and had a history of violence, therefore, the police dog assisted with taking him into custody, said the RCMP. The suspect was treated at the hospital in Kamloops for a dog bite and remanded into custody with a court appearance in Kamloops Provincial Court on April 13.

Community helps with abandoned puppy’s surgery A week after we brought you the story of Miss Phit, the abandoned Maltese-Yorkie mix puppy who was found tied to garbage can and needed surgery, the Williams Lake BC SPCA got back to tell us everything went really well — the surgery and the fundraising. “I am happy to report that her medical appeal to cover the total cost of her care has been completed,” branch manager Liz Dighton said Thursday as she sent us an update. Miss Phit’s surgery was performed on April 10, 2015 to repair a fracture and dislocation to her left hind limb. The fracture is believed to be caused by an inherited condition call Legg Calve Perthes, Dighton explained. The condition causes an interruption in the blood supply to the head of the femur, where upon the portions of boney tissues, starved of their blood supply begin to die and the overlying cartilage that lines the hip joint collapses.
This leaves a painful poorly fitted joint. The surgical repair is called a femoral head osteotomy. The femoral head is removed allowing the joint to heal as a false joint. Most dogs will begin to bear weight within the first two weeks. The sooner she resumes normal activity the faster the cushion of scar tissue will form. Miss Phit is enjoying her foster home with her three new companions that are all her size! She goes for numerous short walks throughout the day and greets everyone visiting the branch, Dighton said. The day our story went up on our website we received a note from a former resident who lives in Alberta asking how she could donate. There’s something about injured animals that brings out the generosity of us all. As Dighton said when the story first broke, it’s important to keep tabs on animal cruelty in our communities.

Mount Polley Mine meeting important to attend Over the years companies, governments, and those in-between have created some major public relations gaffs by not addressing bad situations in time, hoping the publicity would die soon. Recently McDonald’s decided to run a twitter campaign that sparked a storm on the social media. They pulled the stunt immediately and it was over ... they dealt with the situation as soon as they were aware of problems. When governments run afoul of voters it happens sometimes because they have too many people saying something different about the same thing. Then the leader has to come

out and correct the situation before it gets serious or grossly misunderstood. Imperial Metals Mount Polley Mining Corporation has, in my opinion and many others, have acted very responsible in keeping the public informed.
The first of 12 or so meetings in Likely to keep the residents informed was held right after the spill. They have been meeting with folk in Horsefly, have met with the Soda Creek and Williams Lake Indian bands, they came into Williams Lake for a question and answer session, met with the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce and many other meetings with MLA Donna Barnett, Environment Minister Mary Polak, Mines Minister Bill Bennett, and Minister Coralee Oakes. Of course many meetings attempting to get the mine underway have been held and will carry on until the mine is back is
in some capacity of production. I suggest the public relations by Imperial Metals and Mount Polley since the tailings pond break has been very good. It is a tough job and I congratulate Steve Robertson for all he has done to communicate with the workers, surrounding communities, and he should get some kind of PR medal for all he has done. Thanks Steve. Mount Polley followed a similar pattern to McDonald’s in dealing with the public situation immediately. That was a long lead up to tell you about the Mount Polley Mining Corporation Community Open House at the Gibral-
tar Room in Williams Lake on Wednesday, April 22 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The Williams Lake Chamber is helping promote this event that everyone who is interested in the Mount Polley situation and wants updates should attend. This is part of the ongoing communications of the company with the community and is a component of the public comment period related to permit applications for the proposed restart of the mine.

First Nations treaty cash cow may dry up VICTORIA – The B.C. Treaty Commission and its federal and provincial financiers put on a brave show last week, celebrating a “milestone” in negotiations for a modern treaty with five Vancouver Island First Nations. A regional group representing the Songhees, Beecher Bay, T’Souke, Malahat and SnawNaw-As (Nanoose) First Nations have reached the “agreement in principle” stage of negotiations with Canada and B.C., after 20 years of treaty talks. This is similar to the treaty finalized in 2007 with another fivemember Vancouver Island group called Maa-Nulth First Nations. The Te’mexw Treaty Association agreed to accept 1,565 hectares of provincial Crown land and $142 million in federal cash to settle its historic aboriginal title. Alas, agreement in principle is but the fourth of sixth stages. Now a platoon of lawyers takes over from the roomful of negotiators to produce the final legal text. It will be years before this treaty can be presented to the B.C. legislature and the House of Commons in Ottawa, if it ever is. These elaborate ceremonies will never be viewed the same again after the release of federal treaty advisor Doug Eyford’s report last month. The Te’mexw event seemed to have an extra urgency after Eyford’s observation that much of this costly activity has become a job creation program for those involved. These Vancouver Island communities deserve credit for setting aside their own territorial disputes. It’s more than most have done. Eyford concluded after a long summer of meetings last year that many treaty negotiation teams in this province and across the country show no such inclina-

tion. In B.C. and elsewhere in Canada, there is a “conspicuous lack of urgency in negotiations” and “sharp divisions” between parties, most of which have been at the table for a decade or more, Eyford found. This is what has come to be known as the “aboriginal industry,” where lawyers and consultants have a seemingly endless supply of lucrative work, much of it of questionable value. For some aboriginal participants, attending treaty meetings year after year is the best paying job they have ever had. Indeed, a common feature of the province’s dealings with aboriginal communities is that their leaders demand meetings, and then demand to be paid to attend them. This latest Vancouver Island treaty, assuming it is ever finalized, would at least in part replace the Douglas Treaties, signed by B.C.’s colonial governor James Douglas in the 1850s. These treaties around Fort Victoria were quickly concluded if nothing else. The Beecher Bay Band was paid 45 pounds, 10 shillings for most of Sooke and another 43 pounds and change for its Metchosin territory. One of the biggest missing
pieces in the latest agreement in principle is the share of federallyregulated fisheries. This has been a theme of B.C. Treaty Commission reports in recent years, as Ottawa holds up treaties for years because it is unable or unwilling to offer shares of salmon in particular. Hunting and fishing rights are acknowledged even in historic treaties, and reaffirmed by
the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Sharing these rights while maintaining conservation of fish stocks has been more than Ottawa, and in some cases neighbouring aboriginal communities, have been able to manage. Eyford’s findings, and the B.C. government’s sudden refusal to keep staffing a B.C. Treaty Commission that shows so little progress, have sent one overdue mes-
sage. If participants aren’t prepared to make real compromises and show a willingness to conclude agreements rather than drag them out, they should leave and come back when they are ready to do so.

HUFFING AND PUFFING FOR HEALTH

Columneetza Grade 7 students Jayden Shortreed and Nicholas Stasiuk participate in a breathing exercise as part of an air quality exhibit during the Earth Day Challenge at the school last week. Jayden had to exercise while breathing through a straw to feel what it’s like to have asthma while Nicholas, who does suffer from asthma, did a test without the straw. The event was organized by the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society.
Eco friendly building focus for Saskatchewan town The town of Craik (population 450) located midway between Regina and Saskatoon wanted to try something to keep their community from disappearing like many other rural towns. The idea was to encourage environmentally friendly homes on affordable lots with little if any building restrictions. There are no services to the lots hence the reasonable price and you have to be prepared to be self sufficient. Some residents think the rather disorganized ragged looking houses are an eyesore for others in the community but the very reasonable construction costs are certainly attractive for first time house owners. It is obviously not for everyone
Forest Ink Jim Hilton but I am sure you will enjoy the stories of some people who are living there now. The project “Craik sustainable living project” started in 2001 as a joint project between the town and the rural municipality had four key activities: eco center, outreach and education, community action and eco-village. For a relatively small town the enthusiasm of the people has
produced a wide variety of small business and industries. As well as the eco-village, the town has a flax store offering a variety of related products, including flax bales which are also used in the construction of some eco friendly homes. To encourage tourism there is a multipurpose Eco center, botanical garden, arboretum and xeric garden. There was also a recent planting of 64,000 fast growing hybrid poplars for an agro-forestry project. I came across this community project while researching a reference about a biochar plant that was constructed in Craik apparently because of the ecofriendly approach of the community.
The plant built by Titan Clean Energy Projects in 2008 uses waste materials destined for the land fill. The plant uses 10,000 tons of waste per year and is growing at 35 percent per year. They sell the biochar for a soil enhancement, dealing with oil spills and water filtration products. In the future they may look at other products like syngas but for now they are concentrating on producing and marketing biochar products. There are lots of sceptics especially on the usefulness of biochar as a soil additive but the company is sticking to biochar for the time being and seems to be selling the products being produced.
I am sure there are communities throughout B.C. that could use a similar approach to revitalizing their economies as well as developing industries that could use the abundant fibre sources from forestry in particular but also agriculture and municipal waste. The recent change in fortunes of the oil and gas industry and the impending impact of the mountain pine beetle on the lumber industry should a wakeup call for all of us that a reliance on one industry is not as safe as one which considers a variety of approaches. Search for “Craik, Saskatchewan, the little eco-village that could” to see more details on how this bargain price came about.

Shirley and Elmer Thiessen cut his retirement cake at a party held at their home on Sunday.
Dentist Elmer Thiessen retires after 45 years Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Amidst family, friends, patients and employees, present and former, Dr. Elmer Thiessen bid adieu to 45 years of being a full-time dentist during a celebration held last Sunday. Organized by his children, the party held at the Thiessen home on Anderson Road was also a tribute to his wife Shirley who supported him throughout his career and often worked at Comer Clinic. “For those of us who have invested our lives in Williams Lake we can only always thank those who put their trust in us and were willing to be our patients,” Elmer smiled as he looked around the room. “I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of you. I also want to give honour to my Saviour Jesus Christ and thank Him for what he has allowed me to be with his spirit living in me.” Elmer became interested in becoming a dentist after his older brother — a family doctor in Calgary — and his father encouraged him to take advantage of a lifestyle involved in healthcare and serving people. In 1969, after graduating from the University of Alberta’s school of dentistry, he and Shirley moved to Williams Lake. “The first day of my dental practice here in Williams Lake was Oct. 20, 1969 in
Many long-time friends and patients attended dentist Dr. Elmer Thiessen’s retirement party Sunday including Edna Telford with whom Thiessen reminisced about their days serving together on the School District 27 board of education. the Comer Clinic where I ended my career 45 years later,” he said during an interview with his son Mark Thiessen at the party. They chose Williams Lake because a friend was ready to start general practice in medicine at the same time. “He had seen an article in our church denomination periodical encouraging young professionals to consider coming to help in the recently established Cariboo Bethel Church in Williams Lake,” Elmer recalled. “We travelled to Williams Lake in May 1968 and met Cariboo Bethel church congregants.” They also travelled north through communities to Prince George and then west to Prince Rupert looking for a community to settle in the
following year. “While dad is now retired from dentistry, he carries on with a great deal of community involvement including Camp Likely, Chamber of Commerce, Restorative Justice, and the Men’s Choir,” Mark said. “He is also a board member of the international Christian Medical & Dental Association, having just served as president of the Canadian chapter.” Shirley will continue to be involved in the Cariboo Piecemakers quilting club, and both of them will continue to travel and spend time with their children and grandchildren. “Shirley and I look forward to many productive years in community involvement from this day forward,” Elmer said.

Band adjudicator grew up in lakecity Christine Constabel Special to Tribune/Advisor The Cariboo Festival welcomes home one of its own to adjudicate the band section this year. Ed Schnellert grew up in Williams Lake, took piano lessons here and excelled at our music festival, winning many awards and trophies over the years. While still in high school, Ed accompanied the church choir, played weekly at services and was an integral part of his father’s “Harmony Stars” band. Oktoberfests in Williams Lake were a success thanks to Harry Schnellert and his boys. Now Ed is an amazing professional musician, the senior music director at Okanagan Mission Secondary School in Kelowna. He has expanded the program to become one of the most successful in Western Canada, overseeing over 500 music students in concert band, jazz band, commercial music, choir and musical theatre courses. He has directed nine international music festivals in Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Croatia and Austria. He founded and co-directs the OKM

Ed Schnellert, who grew up in Williams Lake competing at the Cariboo Festival, is now a band teacher and adjudicator who will be adjudicating the band section of the festival Sunday and Monday. FAME Academy, presents at music educator’s conferences and is passionately committed to excellence in public school music education. Schnellert holds a Bachelor of Education in Secondary Music Education, and a Masters in Education/Music technology, with piano proficiency at ARCT level. He is also a professional musician who has performed in dozens of bands and vocal ensembles since 1981 with repertoire that covers a very broad spectrum of music
from different eras and styles. Grading, judging, and adjudicating is done in constant partnership and in real time with students, where everyone knows the criteria for excel-
lence and monitors our own listening and learning, Schnellert says in his biography. This lowers the emphasis on external judgment and competition, and raises the focus towards
self-awareness and the foundational cornerstone of music “the intrinsic - our enjoyment, fulfilment, and deep expressions made in our musical experiences.” Another exciting visitor to the Cariboo Festival this month will be Caroline Johnson who grew up in Williams Lake excelling in piano at the festival during her school years and who is now teaching in Hagensborg and will be bringing her student honour band to the festival this week. This year’s band entries include the Williams Lake Community band and all of our high school bands conducted by Dena Baumann and Laura Eilers. More than 11 band students will be participating. The band perfor-
mances of Cariboo Festival 2015 will begin on Sunday evening, April 19, at St. John Lutheran Church starting at 7 p.m. The Williams Lake Community Band will be adjudicated Sunday evening and there will also be a performance by Caroline Johnson’s school band from Hagensborg. The performances for adjudication continue Monday, April 20 at Lake City Secondary, Williams Lake Campus in the morning and the Columneetza campus in the afternoon. A detailed schedule is available online at our website www. cariboofestivalsociety. Admission is by donation. The community is welcome for coffee and tea after the band performances on Sunday evening.

May Day fun for kids The Chickadee Early Childhood and Learning Centre will be celebrating Mayfest, May 1 at the Miocene Community Hall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be maypole dancing, craft activities, including
flower crown making, storytelling, traditional games, delicious snacks. The event will be of special interest to homeschoolers, but all are welcome. There is no admission fee. For more information call 250--296-3265.
Walters explained. “The way they did the procurement was the tendering process was very selective and qualified and designed so that people who are in the business of designing pools would apply.” Many applicants were eliminated through the process and now it’s narrowed down to three, possibly four architects being interviewed, Walters added. Walters said she and CRD director Joan Sorley were part of the interview team. “The big plan is for budgeting and scheduling and that’s what we’re sticking too,” she said. Coun. Ivan Bonnell said the City and CRD are hopeful the shovels will go into the ground for the upgrade work to begin in 2016.

APRIL IS DENTAL HEALTH MONTH
Oral Health Although the mouth is part of the body, we often think of it as something separate. We often ignore bleeding or tender gums, while an irritation or pain elsewhere in the body would mean a trip to the doctor. Poor oral health can affect a person’s quality of life. Oral pain, missing teeth or oral infections can influence the way a person speaks, eats and socializes. These oral health problems can reduce a person’s quality of life by affecting their physical, mental and social well-being. The reality is that oral health problems could be a sign of something serious such as oral cancer. Every year approximately 3,200 Canadians are diagnosed with oral cancer and 1,050 deaths from oral cancer occur. This devastating disease has a low survival rate because it is often diagnosed very late. With early detection the survival rate of oral cancer can be greatly improved. This means going to your dentist for regular dental exams. Your dentist has the training and experience to detect oral cancer early. Everything that happens in your mouth affects your whole body, which is why it is so important to visit your dentist regularly. Only your dentist has the training, skills and expertise to properly address all your oral health care needs. Regular dental exams help prevent small problems from getting worse.

Truth…What Is Truth? A new mini-series premiered on NBC a couple of weeks ago—A.D., The Bible Continues (Sundays at 9:00pm). We watched the first episode together as a family. It kept everyone riveted to the screen for a full hour. This article is not a review or an endorsement of the mini-series, although I would recommend watching it. The Bible story is worth seeing, and perhaps watching the show will motivate you to open up The Book to read it for yourself. The first line in the opening scene of episode 1 is a quote from John 18:38: “Truth…what is truth?” Pilate is talking to Jesus, trying to discern if Jesus has done anything to deserve the rage filled cries of “Crucify!” from the Jewish leadership. Listen to the conversation: Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king… for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” (ESV. 2001). Pilate’s question seems riddled with cynicism and moral defeat. One senses that Pilate is questioning the possibility of truth in a world so broken that it crucifies innocent men.
PARSONS PEN
BY JEREMY VOGT Yet it is also an honest question that every human heart needs to ask…and answer. “What is Truth?” is a question that has been asked throughout every human age and culture. During the Enlightenment and the Modern Age, Western culture believed that truth could be known absolutely as a set of testable, verifiable propositions. The Post-Modern age of the past 40 years deconstructed this viewpoint, questioning the validity of absolute truth and opening a path that leads to the question of our day. We no longer ask one another “What is Truth?” but rather “What’s YOUR truth?” And whatever
truth you believe—well that’s just fine as long as it doesn’t hurt me, oppress me, or challenge my own beliefs. Someday, our descendants will look back on our current age and chuckle. In a world filled with a multiplicity of ‘personal truths’ and competing religious claims, our strategy is built on the idea that we need to try to get along and we shouldn’t bother one another with the possibility that our ‘truth’ might be inferior, wrong or even harmful. Jesus presented a different and very compelling understanding of what ‘Truth’ is. In John 14:6 Jesus says “I AM the way, and the Truth, and the Life…” (ESV. 2001). Jesus is inviting us to consider the possibility that Truth is greater than personal preference, cultural tradition, pragmatics, philosophical propositions or even scientifically verifiable data. He is challenging us to frame Truth not as a thing or a thought, but as a Person. In a world of choices, Jesus gives a compelling, new thought about Truth—that He Himself IS Truth. The answer to Pilate’s question (and ours) is found in relationship with the person of Jesus Christ. His challenge deserves your consideration today.

The Williams Lake Film Club will screen the exciting documentary Afghan Star this Tuesday at the Gibraltar Room. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and show time is 7 p.m. Winner of the Directing and Audience Awards in Sundance’s 2009 World Documentary competition, Afghan Star follows the dramatic stories of four young finalists, two men and two women, as they hazard everything to become the nation’s favourite performer. The film runs for 87 minutes and is not rated. I definitely recommend it for our young teenage audience as well. A bit of background: After 30 years of war and Taliban-rule, pop culture has returned to Afghanistan. Afghan Star, an American Idol-style TV series, is searching the country for the next generation of music stars. More than 2,000 people are auditioning to try their luck. Only three of them are women. The organizers, Tolo TV, believe that with this program they can “move people from guns to music.” And in this they are strongly supported by the young singers. Afghan Star is exactly what American Idol would look like if the contestants were playing for the biggest stakes imaginable: political and social freedom, gender equality, a chance to heal a country 30 years under the yokes of war and religious dictatorship. This documentary is probably one of the most hopeful and heart-rending movies you will see this year. What Americans consider frivolous entertainment is downright revolutionary in this troubled part of the world. Daisaku Ikeda, a Buddhist philosopher, stated so very aptly: “Music could perhaps be called the most truly human form of dialogue we are capable of. Though people
As Oprah Winfrey said: “Everyone, and I mean everyone, should see this film.” What can I add to that formidable voice? Please mark your calendars also for Tuesday, May 5. That evening we will have our huge final event: The Reel Paddling Film Festival World Tour 2015. This is the summer equivalent to the Banff Mountain Film Festival, all about water, kayaking, canoeing, surfing, you name it. It certainly is wild and wet – and a lot of fun. Advance tickets are $12 and are now available at Red Shreds and at the reception desk at the Cariboo Memorial Complex Recreational Centre until May 4. Admission at the door is $15.

2015 Spring CAR CARE
How to safely navigate wet roadways Spring showers certainly may bring flower later on, but they also contribute to challenging driving conditions. Early spring weather can be fickle, vacillating between dry, wet and even icy conditions. Drivers need to remain on their toes to safely traverse roadways near and far. Wet roadways and poor driving conditions contribute to thousands of road accidents each and every year. As roads get wet, oil and other substances rise to the surface of the pavement, which can quickly become slippery and compromise the traction offered by tires. There are around 707,000 automobile crashes each year due to rain. Heavy rains also may lead to puddles, which can obscure hazards on the roadway. Cars may stall out in puddles or hydroplane, which occurs when cars coast along the surface of the water. Puddles also can be splashed by oncoming cars, leading to
visibility issues. It is in every driver’s best interest to use caution when driving on wet roads. The following tips can help prevent accidents, injuries and even fatalities during the rainy season. • Slow down. Drivers should drive slower when roads are wet and when rain compromises visibility. It can take up to three times longer to stop on a wet road than a dry one. By slowing down you will be able to stop or veer out of the way of danger. • Leave room. When driving on wet roads, leave more room between your vehicle and the one in front of you. Again, this plays into stopping distance. Tailgating increases your risk of rear-ending a vehicle if you cannot stop in time on a wet roadway. • Stay alert. It can be easy to be lulled into complacency while driving. But staying alert and conscious
ing the wheel or accelerating and braking in a erratic fashion can cause the vehicle to spin out or skid on wet roads. • Check your tires. Inspect your tires
for tread wear and air pressure. Tires should be rotated as part of routine maintenance. Poorly performing tires are a significant safety risk. If you live in an area known for
a lot of rain, invest in tires designed for wet road conditions. Don’t let wet weather get the best of you. Slow down, stay visible and be on the alert.

of every detail going on around you can reduce your risk of accident when driving in less than ideal conditions. • Skip cruise control. As a driver, you want to remain in control of acceleration and speed, rather than leaving it up to the cruise control system. If you begin to hydroplane on cruise control, the car may actually speed up. • Use your head-
lights. Headlights can light up the road in front of you, helping illuminate potential hazards. Lights on a car also make your vehicle more visible to others on the road. Always turn on the headlights in inclement weather. • Avoid jerky movements. Keep a steady pace and the vehicle in control. Jerk-

2015 Spring CAR CARE
Simple ways to save at the pump The cost of fuel has dipped a little, but drivers are still looking for ways to spend less at the pump. For many drivers, that means driving less. Driving less will save money, and doing so also reduces fuel consumption and contributes to fewer emissions entering the air, both of which can benefit the environment. But many drivers are unable to drive less, as commitments to work and family require them to get behind the wheel more often than they might prefer. Such drivers may be looking for ways to reduce their fuel costs, and fortunately there are several ways to do just that. • Reconsider your choice of fuel. Many of today’s auto manufacturers now design their vehicles so they can run smoothly on regular
unleaded gas, which is typically listed as “87 octane” at filling stations. That’s important to know, as regular gas is often considerably less expensive than alternatives that are higher octanes. Many drivers may even choose regular unleaded, but opt for premium gas every third or fourth trip, feeling that the higher octane fuel every so often will increase performance of older en-

gines. But many engines are designed to run smoothly and efficient on low-octane fuel, meaning it’s unnecessary to choose premium gas, even if you only do so once in a blue moon. Read your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine the best fuel for your car. • Buy when the time is right. Prices at filling stations fluctuate on a daily basis, so unless your car is running
on empty, avoid filling up when the prices seem especially high. Some patience may pay off with several dollars in savings, and those savings can add up to a significant amount of money over time. • Become a less aggressive driver. Drivers with hectic schedules tend to be more aggressive when behind the wheel. But driving aggressively is unsafe and potentially costly. When driven at speeds that exceed 100km per hour, vehicles lose fuel economy. Driving 90km per hour instead of 100km per hour can reduce fuel costs by as much as 75 percent. • Remove unnecessary weight. A car trunk might seem like a great place to keep your golf clubs, and it may be tempting to leave
that roof rack on top of your car after a recent camping trip, but such unnecessary cargo in or on your car makes it harder for the car to get from point A to point B. That forces the car to consume
more fuel. Unless your immediate plans include hitting the links or hunkering down at a nearby campsite, remove unnecessary weight from the car so your next trip to the gas station is less expensive.
The cost of fuel can make trips to the filling station into costly excursions. But drivers willing to reconsider conventional wisdom and change their driving habits can save substantial amounts of money over time.

In celebration of Read Local Month authors Bev Sellars and her cousin Willie Sellars will give a special presentation next week on First Nations storytelling and traditions. The event takes place at the Williams Lake Band gymnasium at Sugar Cane starting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 21. Both Bev and Willie will also discuss the impact of residential schools on Aboriginal culture and traditions as well as the power of storytelling in healing and recovery. Willie is the author of the popular children’s book Dipnetting with Dad, featuring illustrations by Kevin Easthope.
The book was nominated for a Shining Willow Award this year and received a “best bet” designation from the Ontario Library association in 2014 along with other accolades. Set in the beautiful landscape of the Cariboo Chilcotin region, Dipnetting with Dad is a delightful and colourful story of a father teaching his son the Secwepemc method of fishing known as dipnetting, notes the book biography. Together they visit a sweat lodge, mend the nets, select the best fishing spot, and catch and pack their fish through rugged bush back to the family home for traditional preparation.

Bev Sellars author of the award winning book They Call Me Number 1: Secrets and Survival at an Indian Residential School. dynamic illustrations bring the characters to life as they jump off the page and pull you into their world. Bev is the author of They Call Me Number 1: Secrets and Survival at an Indian Residential School, about the impact of abuses that she and her family experienced at the St. Joseph’s Mission School. The book won the George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature and was shortlisted for the Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize. Bev recently resigned her post as chief of the Xats’ull band at Soda Creek to pursue a passion that she has put aside for many years. She is deep into writing her second book that is scheduled for completion by September. Her new book will be all about the contributions that indigenous people around the world, and Canada and North and South America in particular have made to the modern world. Themes run from knowledge about medicine and transportation, to language and Inuit methods of surviving in sub-zero arctic temperatures. Bev holds a law degree as well as an undergraduate degree in history with a minor in political science. She says she was encouraged to go into law, when she decided

When it comes to language Bev says there are more than 2,000 words and place names that we use today that have been taken from indigenous cultures. Some of these include familiar words such as moose, caribou, kayak, canoe, possum, chipmunk, cougar, hurricane, chinook, blizzard, Kamloops, and place names such as Nanaimo, Alabama and Arizona. Even the name Canada is derived from the Iroquois word that means village, she notes. Sellers says her new book will also talk about how indigenous people moved from total control of their own worlds to being completely dominated by other cultures. The book will also examine how the Indian Act doesn’t recognize that there are distinct differences between coastal, interior and prairie people, just as there are distinct differences between English, Welsh and Irish peoples. And she will examine where indigenous people are today and what their hopes might be for the future. When she worked for the B.C. Treaty Commission, Sellars says it became clear to
her that a lot of people at the table, including indigenous people, had no idea why they were there because so much of the understanding of the past had been lost. She hopes to help rectify that problem with her new work. Part of that work started with the creation of the Moccasin Footprint Society to collect and record knowledge of First Nations people. She also plans to develop an informational web page to help teachers incorporate First Nations understanding into their curriculums. The first annual Read Local Month is a province-wide awareness campaign in support of B.C. published authors, independent booksellers and libraries. From April 1-22, Read Local BC unites 23 publishers, 300 authors, 60 speakers and presenters, 50 bookstores and 40 libraries to celebrate the talent of B.C’.s writers. B.C. produces more than 800 books every year, many of which win national awards alongside larger publishing houses.

Photographs help Scout Island fundraiser Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Ruth Hoehne and her husband, Randy, came to Williams Lake a couple of years ago planning to stay just a year, but they liked the community so much that they decided to retire here. A big part of that reason to stay was the beauty they found at Scout Island Nature Centre. “My husband gave me a camera. We went to Scout Island and I was forever sold,” Ruth says. “People probably don’t realize the beauty they have right here at Scout Island.” Their retirement passion evolved into a love to explore the Cariboo Chilcotin within a four hour drive of Williams Lake, with cameras in tow. Ruth’s photographs of pelicans and great herons have been so spectacularly beautiful that the Tribune/Advisor has featured them in various issues this past year. This week Ruth has done something extremely generous in having two of her favourite photographs enlarged and mounted for wall art and donating them as auction items for the Scout Island Nature Centre’s annual fundraising banquet hosted by the

Williams Lake Field Naturalists. Fittingly both photographs were taken at the nature centre, although they now travel all over the region shooting wildlife and scenery of all types.. One photograph is called Lazy Summer Afternoon and is a picture of two pelicans resting in the sun- dappled marsh at Scout Island. The second one is called Last Bite Before Flight and is of a Great Blue Heron with a fish in his mouth and wings spread ready to take the fish off to eat somewhere. Ruth would like people to help support Scout Island Nature Centre by attending the fundraising banquet
and if possible make donations for the silent auction. “Even if you can’t get to the banquet you can still donate to the nature centre,” says Ruth.

Paul Rohner rides through a sandstorm hindering his run to a best time during the season opener of the B.C. Downhill Cup series in mountain biking held April 12. Rohner was one of several competitors from the Williams Lake and 150 Mile House area participating in the event. Rohner did, however, nab fourth place.
Locals compete at Race the Ranch Several Williams Lake and 150 Mile House racers made their mark in the season opener of the B.C. Downhill Cup series in Mountain biking held in Kamloops on Sunday April 12. The course — Race the Ranch — is about 1,100 metres long with a 130-metre height difference me-
andering mostly through sand and very loose ground . Paul Rohner nabbed fourth place with a time of 2.5.8 minutes in the Junior expert class 17 and 18 years old, only beaten 2.5 seconds by the winner, and 0.3 seconds of the podium. Cory Brunelle came in 13th in the elite men category with
a 2.74 minute time. Tim Seaward placed second in the 30-39 Master men category, in 2.31.7 minutes. Cole Feldinger placed 13th in the open Men 19-29 class in 2.24.24 minutes. Colton Seaward placed 13th in the under 15 men, in 2.57.02 minutes, Sandy Thompson was 10th in
the Senior Men 19 to 29 class, with a 2.26.47 minute time. Britany Methot placed third in Elite Women with a 2.31.43 minute race and Anne Butters placed fourth in the open 17-29 women class on 2.57.74 minutes. The next B.C. cup race will be at Silverstar on June 5.
Teams needed for Boys and Girls Club race Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Adults in Williams Lake will have the opportunity to be like kids again when the Boys and Girls Club hosts its first annual Capital One Race for Kids May 23, 2015. It’s the first time the club is bringing the popular event to Williams Lake and organizers say it will be a great opportunity for the community. “Boys and Girls Clubs have been doing this in Canada for three years,” said Stefanie Hendrickson, operations co-ordinator. “It’s done in the style
of the Amazing Race.” In hopes that it will become an annual event, the club will replace its Shifting Gears mountain bike race with the race. In the Race for Kids, participants compete in teams made up of four adults, 18 years and older. During the race the teams are asked to solve clues to take them to the next check point and to complete small challenges. Three staff members from the Williams Lake Boys and Girls club participated in the Kamloops race in 2014 and had a great time. “In other cities some
teams race to win while others choose to participate just to have fun, “ Hendrickson said. The challenges are physical, but have more to do with team building or coordination, she added. An example of a team building challenge would see teams using straws, paper clips and tape to make a fishing rod to catch fish out of a wading pool. Or they might have a scenario where three of the team members are blindfolded and the fourth leads them through an obstacle course. “It’s a chance to play like a kid and is designed
for all fitness levels,” she said. “It takes place within a five kilometre radius.” So far seven teams have signed up, but the club is hoping for 20 teams. Registration can be done online at www.raceforkids.ca/williamslake or by visiting the Boys and Girls Club where Hendrickson can sign people up. Team members also collect pledges, which are entered online. West Jet has donated a voucher for two flights for the top fundraiser. As a registered charity, the club can issue receipts for income tax purposes.
Registration for teams begins at 9 a.m., the race begins at 10 a.m. and the event will culminate with a Rotary Club barbecue in the city hall parking lot. There are limited spaces available for childcare for participants on the day of the race. “The KidZone (our after school child care program) will provide activities for 10 children if their parents are participating in or volunteering to help at the race,” Hendrickson said. Anyone interested in volunteering is also encouraged to contact Hendrickson.
The Cariboo Kennel Club is hosting a fun match Sunday, April 19 at the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association’s clubhouse. Obedience registration starts at 9 a.m. The match will start at 10 a.m. Conformation registration starts at 12 noon with the match starting at 1 p.m. Non-purebred dogs are welcome for obedience.

Tristan Pelchat-Henri, 12, fought in his first tournament, garnering third in the division, and beating both opponents for gold. Fourteen-year-old Brody Pelchat-Henri also fought his first tournament, too. There were only two in his group so it was best of three. “He won the first then lost the next two for silver,” coach Jeff DiMarco said. “They were close matches and he was good and tired at the end.” There were five competitors in 12-year-old Georgia DiMarco’s group. She won two and lost two, garnering third place. “Georgia fought well and took her nemesis to a draw in one of the matches, but the judges went with her opponent,” DiMarco said.

The Lake City Falcons took on one of the top five ranked girls’ teams in the United States last weekend. On Friday, the Falcons were matched with the Kent Crusaders, from Kent, Washington. They were a very large team, with lots of big, powerful, Samoan girls. Our girls played a lot of defense, and were penned in their own end for most of
the first half. At the end of the first half it was Kent 12, Lake City 0. Our second half goal was to score a try and play out of our half of the field and saw success when Laura Pfleider completed a 20-metre run to score the Falcon’s first try. The Lake City girls continued to work hard, but could not crack the Crusader defense for a second time, with a 22-5 loss. Lake City’s second game was against
the forth ranked, AA school, Valleyview of Kamloops. The Falcons came out strong, and scored early with try from Grade 9 player Emma Feldinger. The girls continued to apply pressure throughout the game, and kept the majority of the play in the other team’s end. The final score was Lake City 29, Valleyview 5. The girls’ final game of the tournament was against L.V. Rogers, of Nelson,

BC. The game started off with the Falcons pressuring their opponents at their 22 metre line. After a couple of phases of play, Laura Pfleider scored her third try of the weekend. A little later, with continued pressure, Tasha Johnson pulled in the defense, and set up winger, Taylor Sager for a try. Laura Pfleiderer converter one try in the half, so that Lake City lead 12-0 at the half. Early in the second half, Roger’s physical play got the close to the Williams Lake goal line. After a penalty against the opposition, Laura Pfleiderer, went quick with a tap penalty, and ran 80 metres to score her fifth try of the weekend. A second long run by Carleigh Walters led to another try. Nelson continued to pressure and put their only try in the Lake City corner. Pfleiderer finished the game with another huge run, that led to Taylor Sager’s second try of the weekend. Final score Lake City 29, L.V. Rogers 5.

PLAN NUMBER 2-3-703 HANDSOME TWO STOREY HOME On the façade of this threebedroom family home, twostorey stone pillars support an exposed open truss above the front deck, adding character to the exterior. The home’s covered entrance, on the ground floor, is highlighted by the dramatic sweep of semi-circular steps to the front door, leading to a good-sized foyer, which includes a bench and a coat cupboard. To the right of the foyer, an irregular-shaped den is fitted with a built-in desk. Useful for homework or any paper work, this desk could be the ideal place for the family computer. Behind the den is the laundry room and beyond that, an unfinished basement area that includes roughed-in plumbing for a bathroom. This will make it easy to add an extra bathroom for a suite, if local bylaws allow. A bench by the front door and a coat cupboard complete the foyer area and a door

Rayel was a nurse, through and through. She connected with people, effortlessly, and cared for her patients with love and understanding. Rayel relieved pain, for patients, for classmates, for friends, and her family. She was a natural healer. When asked why she wanted to be a nurse, she would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to save livesâ&#x20AC;?. Sadly, Rayel will never be able to fulfill her lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambition, as her life was taken from her. Please, never drive while impaired. It ruins lives.

Nutrition tips to keep shift workers healthy Working shifts can upset your body’s “internal clock” and overall health. When you work shifts, you may find it hard to know when and what to eat so here are 10 nutrition tips. Eat your main meal early if on a later shift. If possible, eat your main meal before you go to work and have a small meal and healthy snacks during your shift. Eating large meals at night can cause heartburn, gas, or constipation. It can make you feel sleepy and sluggish. Preparation is key. Eat more protein and lower glycemic carbohydrates. Not surprisingly, night shift workers often struggle with feelings of drowsiness. Protein foods like tuna, eggs, lean chicken, roast beef, baked beans, split pea soups, soy nuts, low fat cheese strings, cottage cheese, and peanut butter increase alertness. High glycemic carbohydrate foods: bread, potatoes, and cereal have a sedating effect. Avoid fatty, fried or spicy foods. Hamburgers, fried chicken and spicy chili may lead to indigestion. Avoid high glycemic carbohydrates such as cookies, candies, snack foods, sugary sweets and sweetened beverages. Too much sugar isn’t good for anybody and it may be even more damaging for night shift workers. These foods spike blood sugars then cause a crash which hampers alertness and mood. Take your time eating. Don’t rush when you eat. You deserve your break, so enjoy every single bite of your meals and snack! If possible, eat with others. Stay well hydrated. Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. It can help you to stay alert during your shift. Keep a water bottle nearby and take sips even before you feel thirsty. Low fat milk, tea, unsweetened herbal tea, and lower sodium 100% vegetable juices are examples of nutritious beverages. Watch the caffeine. Drinking coffee, tea or other caffeinated beverages can help you stay alert but don’t consume more than 400 mg of caffeine a day (the amount of caffeine in two cups of regular coffee). Caf-
feine can stay in your system for up to eight hours which can affect your sleep. Switch to decaffeinated, herbal tea or
water about four hours before bedtime. Avoid drinking alcohol after work which can disturb sleep.
Choose healthier snacks. Raw vegetables like baby carrots, radishes, celery, and snow peas are low in calories
and high in nutrients and fibre. Healthy eating and active living play a big role in helping you reach
and maintain a healthy weight. A healthy body weight will lower your chances of getting heart disease, diabetes and
