Conservatives accused of being forum no shows Bill Phillips Special to Tribune/Advisor Todd Doherty’s campaign schedule was set in June, which has resulted in him not being able to attend some all candidates forums, he says. The Cariboo-Prince George Conservative candidate has come under fire for missing two all candidates forums so far … the Stand Up for the North forum in Prince George and a
Council of Canadians forum in Williams Lake last week. Prince George-Peace River Conservative candidate Bob Zimmer also did not attend the Prince George forum, which was for both ridings. “There are debates that we have been unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts,” Doherty posted on his Facebook page after the Williams Lake forum. “This is no more an indication of our unwillingness to attend,
rather it is a statement of our commitment to ensure to meet as many of our regional families in settings that are more comfortable and accessible to them.” All five of the other candidates in the riding — New Democrat Trent Derrick, Liberal Tracy Calogheros, independent Sheldon Clare, Green Richard Jaques, and Christian Heritage Party candidate Adam De Kroon — have attended the two forums Doherty has missed.

Doherty says he will be attending forums in Vanderhoof on Oct. 2, Quesnel Oct. 6, Prince George Oct. 8 and 13, and Williams Lake Oct. 15. That means he will miss at least two more forums, a CBC forum Sept. 30 in Prince George and a second Stand Up For a The North forum Oct. 7. Conservative candidates across the country are coming under fire for choosing not to attend all candidate forums.

Police investigate mailbox tampering Angie Mindus Staff Writer Williams Lake RCMP are investigating a string of attacks on area Canada Post mailboxes. Staff Sgt. Del Byron said the first incident occurred at a mailbox on Belleview Drive, a highway frontage road
in the Lexington subdivision, Thursday, Sept. 17 at 10:34 p.m. Byron said locks were damaged and some mailboxes were opened. The next incident of mailbox tampering was reported Sunday morning on Sept. 27 at neighbouring Lexington Road where mailboxes had either been opened

or had pry marks. The third incident also occurred on Sunday morning, this time north of town, near the Nenquanyi Wellness Centre where a pile of mail was discovered. Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP.
Search continues for missing man Police are continuing to investigate the disappearance of a Williams Lake man who went missing Sept. 24. Staff Sgt. Del Byron said members of the RCMP conducted ground, air and water
searches in an effort to locate 49-year-old Lonnie Widdoes. Widdoes’ truck was found in the Sheep Creek Bridge area late in the day Thursday after he was reported missing by his family. Central Cariboo
Search and Rescue also assisted in the search. Police are asking anyone who has any information regarding Widdoes’ whereabouts to contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211.

Election candidates challenged during first political forum Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Five of the six candidates in the Cariboo Prince George riding squared off at a standing-room only all-candidates debate at Thompson Rivers University Thursday night. Missing was Conservative candidate Todd Doherty whose campaign office told the Tribune earlier in the week he would not be attending. During the evening many people said they were disappointed Doherty chose not to participate. “It is really unfortunate that the Con-
servative candidate wasn’t there,” said Peter Smith of the Williams Lake Chapter of the Council of Canadians who helped organize the evening. “The depth of answers, the quality of the discussion and the respectfulness shown by all the candidates was terrific.” About 125 people attended the forum. Questions from the floor came without hesitation and ranged from climate change, proportional representation and senate reform, to seniors care, education and health for First Nations, how to engage youth to vote and the
long gun registry, and more. Each candidate had an opportunity to answer the questions, and often moderator Dr. Ray Sanders of TRU offered them a chance to make a rebuttal. When Mary Forbes asked if any of the candidates would be brave enough to withdraw from the ballot if there was one leading candidate that would stop Stephen Harper and the Conservatives “in their tracks,” she received the largest applause from the audience. Responding Independent candidate Sheldon Clare said
it is wrong-headed for people to be voting against something they want to keep out. “If we keep voting the same way we always have we’re always going to get the same results, that’s the problem,” Clare said, adding he was the best choice if people want to bring change to the region. All five candidates confirmed they would not withdraw from the race. The poverty of Canada’s seniors is a focus of the NDP, said candidate Trent Derrick when senior Ollie Martens asked what the government can do for her demo-
graphic. “We want to increase the transfer payments to medicare... and bring all provinces to a level playing field,” Derrick said. “We also want to invest in care-aids to help seniors stay at home longer.” Green Party candidate Richard Jaques said his party is pushing to get rid of university tuition. He also said the Green Party would cut the Prime Minister’s budget by 50 per cent or $5 million to have money for other programs. Probably the most controversial statement of the night
came from 23-yearold Christian Heritage Party candidate Adam De Kroon responding to a question posed by Tim Tymchuk about the long gun registry. De Kroon assured Tymchuk he would oppose any gun legislation and would support moving in a direction for even more gun freedoms, including perhaps even concealed carry of handguns. In her closing remarks, Liberal candidate Tracy Calogheros told the audience there is a lot of cohesiveness at the candidates’ table. “One of the things we agree with is that
you have a big decision to make as to who is going to represent you in Ottawa that you’re going to trust to build consensus and take that forward,” Calogheros said. “We can’t blame Ottawa for not listening to us if we don’t send someone there to tell them what we think.” A second forum is slated for Thursday, Oct. 15 at the Pioneer Complex at 6:30 p.m. It is free to the public and anyone with questions is encouraged to drop them off at the Chamber of Commerce office at the Tourism Discovery Centre or e-mail them to visitors@telus.net.

sional development days for curriculum training and an additional five hours, the equivalent of one classroom day, will also be devoted to the new curriculum. Bernier confirmed that the program is being implemented within existing budgets. The additional $1 million this year is to fund teacher training seminars and travel costs for rural teachers where the training isn’t offered in their home districts. The training plan was announced with representatives of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, the B.C. School Trustees’ Association, superintendents, prin-
cipals and vice-principals, parent advisory councils, independent schools, and the First Nations Steering Committee. BCSTA president Teresa Rezansoff said school boards will decide how to structure the training to “best meet the needs of teachers while minimizing any impact on student learning time.” Bernier says the new curriculum emphasizes “hands on” learning and more flexibility for individualized studies. Two areas of emphasis are environmental education and an enhanced aboriginal perspective in every subject.

Clayton Stoner is facing five charges under the Wildlife Act. the bear, nicknamed “Cheeky” by the Guardian Watchmen of the area. The area also falls under the traditional territory of the Coastal First Nations, who issued a ban on all trophy hunting in their region in 2012. Jessie Housty, who is a councillor with the Heiltsuk Nation, told regional media
that while they welcomed the charges, they would rather the province ban trophy hunting altogether. “I think it’s positive in the sense that I hope it makes trophy hunters aware that they’re being policed and that they’re being held to a very high standard,” said Housty. “However, it is still legal for them to do this under
2014 but down from 3,786 in 2013. On average, hunters have killed about 270 grizzly bears in British Columbia every year since 2010. The province estimates there to be 15,000 grizzlies in British Columbia – about a quarter of the entire North American population. Douglass Neasloss, Chief Councillor of the Kitasoo-Xaixais, believes that both the government’s scientific and economic modeling is flawed and that there is no way to sustainably or ethically support a grizzly bear hunt in the Great Bear Rainforest, or anywhere else for that matter. Neasloss said that all aspects of the grizzly bear hunt are in complete opposition to his community’s culture, and that the Coastal Guardian Watchmen will be stepping up their patrols to ensure hunters get the message.

Clayton Stoner is facing five charges under the Wildlife Act for a spring grizzly bear hunt near Bella Coola in 2013. Stoner, who was the subject of intense scrutiny after a leaked photo showed the hockey star holding the severed head and paws of a five-year old grizzly he shot in Kwatna, is now facing two counts of knowingly making a false statement to obtain a licence, hunting without a licence, hunting out of season and unlawful possession of dead wildlife. All five charges relate to the accusation that Stoner could not have been considered a resident of B.C., as was required by his permit to shoot the bear, because his main residence would have been the U.S. city where he lived as part of his NHL career. Stoner, who now plays for the Anaheim Ducks, is accused of falsely claiming to be a B.C. resident when he applied for the licence, according to Det. Sgt. Cynthia Mann with the Conservation Officer Service. “At the time Mr. Stoner was playing for the Minnesota Wild hockey team so the question of his B.C. residence initiated an investigation,” said Mann. According to the B.C. Wildlife Act, resident means a person who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, whose primary residence is in B.C., and has been physically present in B.C. for the greater portion of each of six out of the 12 months immediately preceding making an application. Stoner was also the subject of a documentary film released by the Coastal First Nations entitled Bears Forever, which detailed the shooting of
law and you could just as easily read the situation as an opportunity to learn from Clayton Stoner’s mistakes and keep their nose clean when they’re practising their own trophy hunting. In that sense, it’s not really a win for us.” Critics of the trophy hunt have long argued that government science is inaccurate and that the practice should be banned for a number of reasons, including the assertion from First Nations leaders that their indigenous laws should be respected. Oct. 1 will mark the opening of B.C.’s controversial grizzly bear hunt and Central and North Coast First Nations are saying they will step up their actions against hunters found in their territory. The B.C. government authorized 3,469 grizzly bear tags in 2015, up from 3,067 in

ad news first. Once again Williams Lake ranks low on a survey. This time we are the second worst city in Canada for livability, according to the Windsor Star. The magazine Money Sense has ranked us second least livable a number of times. It could be worse. Since the federal government eliminated the long census form, Stats Canada has dropped some entire communities. We’re still on the list of top crime cities too. Sigh. *** I was looking through some 1930s and 40s newspaper stories recently and some of the issues from back then are still with us, like wolves killing domestic stock, forest fires, even refugees, only then the refugees were French orphaned English Connection children. Diana French History really does repeat itself. Columnist Rafe Mair wrote recently that as an older person, he’s faced most of today’s issues before. Me too. I’ve survived government deficits and surpluses and a few balanced budgets along with government overspending, cutbacks and corrupt politicians. I’ve lived through prosperous times, recessions, even a depression as well as wars, peace and whatever it is we have now. Canadian warplanes have conducted 29 air strikes against Islamic State positions and units the last update on July 9. Isn’t that war? I’ve also been through a lot of elections and each is different. This time around many issues aren’t getting much attention, like climate change and reconciliation with First Nations. Former BC Liberal Attorney General Geoff Plant was referring to the latter when he said there was a “failed ethic of denial” but that could apply to the attitude many politicians have on a number of things, like climate change. Then there are the red herrings, like the foofaraw over Muslim women’s headgear. Do we really want to lose our religious freedoms along freedom of speech and assembly as threatened under Bill C-51? And if it’s a woman’s issue, what about an inquiry into the hundreds of missing and murdered al women, 70 per cent of them aboriginal? Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune.

Our Viewpoint
Show compassion The debate around how to help Syrian refugees, fleeing a vicious civil war and expanding Islamic State terrorism, has become something of a political football in Canada. It’s to be expected that various parties during the election would make various claims on the best approach. But this is beyond politics. The publication of the photo that went around the world — that of three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi — is ample evidence of that. Canadians are compassionate people and there is ample precedent for helping those in need. We need only recall when in the 1980s thousands of Vietnamese “boat people” were taken in by this country. Compassion has to supersede politics in this matter but other questions arise of Canadians wanting to respond. While dramatic and serious events like the Syrian crisis are few and far between, there is no lack of other events seeking our charitable response.

It’s important to analyze how useful and effective such charitable “trends” are, often spurred on by heart-wrenching photos, and where they go after the outrage dies down and the public moves on to the next hot issue. We can look beyond the migrant crisis in Europe to any number of countries that would benefit from the aid and compassion of Canadians. And it is right and good that we continue to do what we can. And for every trendy hashtag and its accompanying global outrage, there are local issues which, perhaps at times lacking the same profile, still need our attention. The status of refugees, and Canada’s responsibility in assisting them, is deservedly in the spotlight. And local organizations that are doing their part deserve our accolades, especially as most of them were doing the hard work to support refugees for years before it became a trendy issue. - Black Press

here is no denying the importance of small business to B.C.’s economy. Small businesses are the heart and soul of our communities. They support families and keep local economies strong. The owners include parents, coaches and volunteers in Williams Lake who make a difference every day. In Williams Lake, three organizations are specifically geared to assist small businesses — the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce, the Williams Lake Central Business Improvement Association (BIA) and Community Futures Cariboo Chilcotin. All are vitally important resources for the business community. The Chamber of Commerce is the voice of business in Williams Lake. When a business joins the Chamber, MLA they learn about Musings current government issues that Coralee Oakes affect business, and can add their voice to the Chamber’s efforts to address them. It is also important for entrepreneurs to know that the Chamber can support them on issues that concern their business. Every year, the Williams Lake Chamber presents its Business Excellence Awards, which recognize the accomplishments and successes of local businesses. For more information go to www.williamslakechamber.com. The Williams Lake BIA is a key resource for downtown businesses. It was created by local merchants with the aim of revitalizing and promoting the downtown core. It is also a lobby group and a networking organization. A partnership between the BIA and the City of Williams Lake led to the development of the Community Corner Building and the restoration of Court House Square, to name two examples of how collaboration has resulted in a stronger community. The BIA’s website is at www.wlcbia.com. Community Futures Cariboo Chilcotin offers support and services to rural small- and medium-sized business owners. For details go to www.cfdccariboo.com. Small business owners help build strong local economies, and a strong B.C. economy ensures that Williams Lake and communities throughout our province remain vibrant. Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction and the Minister Responsible for the Liquor Distribution Branch.

Shouldn’t all candidates forum include everyone? Editor: I attended the all candidates forum at Thompson Rivers University last night and was shocked to see an empty chair that should have been occupied by the Conservative candidate. I have been told that is part of the Conservative Party’s election strategy and has happened in other locations. It appears to be a desperate attempt to cling to power at any cost and shows a lack
of respect for the democratic process. I realized that the incumbent is always a target at any public forum and it could be uncomfortable but that goes with the job. Conservative candidates should be able to stand up in public and defend their government’s record. It is hard to respect a party that is not prepared to engage with the public and debate issues with other candidates. I guess they are confident
their core supporters will continue to vote Conservative out of habit and/or fear of change and, due to that, due to our flawed electoral system, this will result in another false minority government leading the country. It will be disappointing if they are proven right and we are subjected to an extension of what I refer to as the tyranny of the largest minority. Keith Monroe Williams Lake
Thanks to all who made Cariboo Wounded Warriors possible Editor: Re: Cariboo Wounded Warriors 2015. I would like to thank Greg Sabatino for his coverage of our event last Sunday and his thoughtful and respectful interviews of our veterans. I will apply one of the highest compliments that can be given to a ‘media-type’ by a military personnel: ‘He gets it.’ Thanks, Greg. Cariboo Wounded Warriors 2015 is a wrap. Williams Lake
hosted another event that left the attendees astounded at the level of hospitality they had received. As the chair of our very small committee, of course I receive a lot of attention, but the truth is Williams Lake people bought into this righteous venture. They are the ones who should be recognized and celebrated. First, it’s great to have a vision, but it takes the ‘detail people’ to make it happen successfully: Georgette Rosk, Charlene Smythe, Marion Stuart and my
personal backup and detailer for the past 40 years, my amazing wife, Grace. Then comes the support of the many sponsors and support organizations that actually made it happen. A very special thank you goes to Christina of Shaw TV who could see the development of something good in the making and documented this event from inception to completion. Jack Simpson Williams Lake
Halloween’s celebration of horror shameful Editor: Imagine this. A refugee has finally accomplished her dream — escaping a war-torn country and finding sanctuary in Canada. All she’s ever wanted is to walk down a public street without being confronted with decapitated human bodies and severed limbs. No bloody handprints on the walls — no screams in the night. Wait a minute. Let’s hope she doesn’t arrive in the month of October. Yes, Halloween is gearing up, and our city will soon be awash with fake gore.
Letters aLways weLcome
People will again be digging into human-eyeball candy, hanging up plastic replicas of children’s mangled limbs, and staggering down the street in reddrenched rags. Anyone who might have missed the fun will get a celebratory front-page scoop from the local newspapers. I’m not a refugee, but my sympathies are with those people who have seen tragedies. It troubles me when our culture belittles such realities into a game of thrills. How can we expect to make any headway against humanity’s
suffering when we are comfortable with it as a source of entertainment? The argument supporting Halloween gore is universally, “It’s not real!” I don’t agree. Play is simply rehearsal/practice for real-life activities. If we don’t like world events, maybe we should first re-examine our entertainment. It’s time to shun Halloween’s celebration of horror. Be the change you want to see in the world!

The Brick partners to help Children’s Miracle Network Following the great success of its inaugural year, The Brick is launching its second year as a partner of Children’s Miracle Network in Canada. In its inaugural year of its partnership with Children’s Miracle Network, The Brick raised nearly $700,000 for children’s hospitals across Canada. “The Brick is proud to be part of communities across Canada and has a strong tradition of giving to these communities. We care about our neighbours — especially the youngest generation. That’s why we’re part-
nering with Children’s Miracle Network,” explained Jim Caldwell, president of The Brick Group. The Brick is introducing the second edition of Brickley Bear to help raise funds for the organization. Onehundred per cent of the net proceeds from the sale of Brickley Bear go to Children’s Miracle Network and go to support the local children’s hospital serving the community. The Brick is also accepting donations to Children’s Miracle Network through the sale of Brickley Bear cut-outs to further sup-
port local children’s hospitals. The Brick will be matching every dollar donated through the program from Sept. 1, 2015 to Feb. 29, 2016 up to a maximum of $100,000. “The Brick is a great Canadian retailer which has provided value to the homes of Canadians with a team of community caring staff that made the inaugural year of our partnership a great success,” said John Hartman, Chief Operating Officer, Canada, with Children’s Miracle Network. “We are thrilled to

continue a partnership with The Brick that does have a real impact on the lives of children. We’re elated to have help from The Brick in raising funds for the equipment and research that help to save the lives of ill and injured children. Brickley is a good friend and role model to kids, whether they’re sick or healthy.” Both The Brick and Children’s Miracle Network believe in keeping funds in the region where they are raised. All proceeds from Brickley sales will go toward the Children’s Miracle Network member hospital that serves the community in which the purchase or donation was made. “The focus of our campaign is all about ‘Helping to Improve the Lives of Children, Brick by Brick,’” noted Jim Caldwell. “The reason we chose that name for

our campaign is that we believe that every little bit counts towards making a real difference to the lives of children and their families. That’s what it is all about — improving lives and making a difference in our communities.”

World Breastfeeding Week: Oct. 1-8
Support available for breastfeeding moms Karen Irvine Special to Tribune/Advisor What would happen if we were forced to leave our homes in an instant? If there was a forest fire in our backyard, or water flooding into our home, we might not have time to get everything we thought we needed. These unexpected disasters used to be a rarity, but we all know that they are a possibility for anyone. Hopefully it will not happen to you, but if it did, how would it affect your family? One of the major issues in emergency situations is ensuring people have water, food, and power. Food security is being talked about a lot these days. When you think about having enough water and food for your family, do you think about what your infant might eat? A breastfed baby has food, anytime, anywhere — no water or electricity necessary. If you are stuck on a highway behind a car accident, there’s milk.
Pregnancy Outreach staff Janelle Kiefiuk (left), Wendy Reisner, Linda Brown, Barb Jones, Krista Harvey and Karen Irvine make up some of the many supports available in Williams Lake for moms. If you get a flat tire on what was supposed to be a quick trip to pick up your other child, there’s milk. If the general store in your remote community runs out of baby formula, no need to worry about switching to a different brand or having to trek into town, you have the perfect food at the perfect temperature. Even if a woman is not eating much, her body will still make milk for her baby. And as the World Health
Organization recommends breastfeeding up to two years and beyond, breastfeeding is proven to be great nutrition, comfort, immunity and food security for your child for as long as you are able to do it. The good news is that women in B.C. believe in breastfeeding: 96 percent of new moms start breastfeeding, and 41 percent still feed their babies only breast milk by six months after birth. But what happens
between the hospital experience and six months later? According to Statistics Canada 2012, the major reason Canadian women say they stopped breastfeeding is that they don’t have enough milk. The second most common reason is difficulty with breast feeding technique. It makes sense that a good percentage of women would continue breast feeding their baby if they had the support when they
needed it; had enough milk and had a comfortable, effective technique. How can we make those things happen? There are many friendly, supportive women in Williams Lake ready to help. And just like the old adage “If there is a pebble in your shoe, take it out,” the trick to breastfeeding success is to get help early. Support people are available.

Aerial view of oil sands captured in Helbig’s book Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Louis Helbig has returned home to Williams Lake to visit family and share his latest project, an aerial photography study of the oil sands. The project has resulted in a coffee table book titled Beautiful Destruction that was published by Rocky Mountain Books last December. On Saturday, Oct. 3 Helbig will be giving a free presentation about the project at the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society Centre. The book contains around 230 photographs of the area in and around an industrial complex in the middle of the boreal forest in the middle of nowhere, Helbig said. Through the photographs he has tried

Helbig attempted to cover all aspects of the industry. Essays come from contributors such as Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Na-
tion, Greg Stringham, vice-president of Oil Sands Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, Gil McGown, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour and Dr. John O’Connor a physician in Wood Buffalo, Alta. Helbig was living in Ottawa when the idea for the project began. He initially went up there in 2008, a time when you would have found little consequential media coverage, he said. That changed in 2010 when Canadian film maker James Cameron went to Fort McMurray at the invitation of Chief Allan Adam, he said. Since 2011, there has been wall-to-wall coverage and stories of people from all over moving there. “I was home visiting and learned that
people from Williams lake were working in Fort McMurray. It was a real cultural phenomenon.” His photographs depict Horizon, Anzac, Lake Athabasca, Kearl, Fort Chipewyan, Surmont, Mildred Lake, Millennium Mine, Uranium City, Firebag, McKay River, Fort Saskatchewan, Aurora North and more. “I hope these aerial photographs do indeed lift a veil of ignorance, and that the critical reader will use his or her imagination to

Williams Lake restoration salmon biologist Judy Hillaby gives a lecture on how a sockeye salmon’s digestive system works Sunday. with B.C. Rivers Day. The weekend also included opportunities for riparian-guided walks and nature walks, which helped visitors learn about the local area and about the majestic sockeye salmon that had travelled a whopping 620 kilometres from the mouth of the Fraser River to their birth place at Horsefly River. Only between two and 10 of the 4,000 eggs laid by each female salmon will make it back to
the spawning grounds as adults in four years’ time to continue the cycle anew.
Four-year-old Morgan Russell of Williams Lake examines an artistic rendition of a sockeye salmon along the banks of the Horsefly River. Turner Christenson, 6, and his mom, Tanya Christenson, work together on a salmon art project — one of many activities for kids to take part in at the Horsefly River Salmon Festival this past weekend.
The annual Horsefly Ducks Unlimited Banquet and Auction takes place Saturday, Oct. 3. Doors open at 6 p.m. and dinner is at 7 p.m. at the Horsefly Community Hall. Tickets are available at Clark’s General Store in Horsefly or by calling Alison Bernier at 250267-6105.

Singing doesn’t have to be scary Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer If someone has told you that you can’t sing, don’t believe them. “I have never had anyone who could not learn to sing,” says singing instructor Angela Sommer, who gave a lesson for beginning singers Saturday at the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Centre. The workshop was one of several events held at the centre as part of Williams Lake Arts and Culture Days. Sommer says singing is a matter of getting over your fear of failure, finding a comfortable singing range and not concentrating so hard on the notes at first that you freeze with fear. “I have a whole bag
of tricks to get people to loosen up when they sing,” Sommer says. A couple of tricks she had the workshop participants do were to follow her in singing a silly little ditty “Give poppa a proper cup of coffee in a proper coffee cup.” Another trick to loosen up was to have participants dancing as they sang another song. She taught the participants how to breathe and not to be afraid to ask questions of their instructor. She said she has been singing and playing music since she was a little girl so she may at times lose sight of the fact that beginning students don’t understand the music lingo that she is using. For instance she said it wasn’t a silly question to ask what the difference is between melody and harmony or how you

Culture Days. keep your voice from following other voices when you are singing with a choir where there are high and low parts to the music. She advised the participants to stand next to a strong singer and follow that singer in
the part they are singing. She also taught the group some breathing excercises and had fun with them singing various popular, and easy to sing songs, without the need to read music.

When you see someone up on the stage singing what appears to be an effortless rendition of a song, she advised the students that there is really a lot of work behind the performance. “I have been singing for 46 years and am singing every day, but I will still practice a song 100 times to get it just the way I want it,” said Sommer, who teaches singing lessons for all age groups. She also invited women ages 18 and older who would like to sing to join her at the Just For Fun singing group sessions on Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at St. Peter’s Anglican Church on Carson Drive. Sommer leads the group in singing songs without the need to read music. She said singing just for the fun of it, without the need to read music or anyone judging your ability is also a great stress reliever. The Just for Fun women’s group met on Friday evenings last year but she said the group will meet on Thursday evenings this year, which is a better fit for people who have to be out of town on weekends. The Just for Fun singing group is a free activity for women funded by the Women’s Contact Society, which also provides free babysitting while the women sing.

Camera club donates winning photo to TRU Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer In 2010, a group of photography enthusiasts came together to discuss forming what would eventually become the Cariboo Camera Club. Ever since then the club has been meeting once a month at the Williams Lake campus of Thompson Rivers University for either an “educational night” or a “critique night,” alternating from one meeting to the next, said club member Pat Teti. Earlier this year the club held a photography competition among members to select an image that reflected the distinctive character of Williams Lake or the CaribooChilcotin. The winner, judged by Geoff Moore of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association, was Gord Stevenson’s image of a loaded logging truck

In appreciation for the use of a venue for their meetings, the club presented TRU with a framed and matted print of the photo. The printing was done by Speedpro Signs and the matting and framing were done by Frame Creations

TROUBLE STARTING A drained battery, corroded cables, malfunctioning spark plug, bad ignition switch, or broken timing belt are just a few of several possible causes to this problem.

Your car should always move in the direction you are steering it to. If you find that your car pulls to one side whenever you let go of the steering wheel or apply brakes, your car could be due for an alignment. It’s a quick fix, so don’t put it off. Misalignment can cause uneven wear on your tires, which could mean more dollars in the long run.

Your car requires a myriad of different fluids to run properly – brake flu-
id, transmission fluid, gasoline, oil, and coolant. Each is vital for the operation of your car, and any puddles or leaking fluids should not be ignored. SQUEALING BRAKES AND POOR STOPPING PERFORMANCE This is one of the most serious warning signs your car can send you. Squealing brakes is a likely indicator of brake pad wear, which can lead to more extensive brake damage and a potentially unsafe vehicle, if left unattended.

How to handle car trouble while driving Sudden car trouble is something no driver wants to experience, but many a driver has been driving down the highway only to feel his or her vehicle start to sputter. Such sputtering might indicate a car is running low on fuel, or it could be a sign of something more serious that requires motorists to think as quickly and safely as possible. When car trouble strikes while a vehicle is on the road, the first thing many drivers do is check their fuel gauges. A car that runs out of gas is certainly inconvenient, but if you can pull over to the shoulder or make it to the nearest filling station, then this unfortunate situation can be remedied rather easily. But when a car’s tank is full and it is still showing signs of trouble, drivers must
take steps to protect themselves, their passengers and their vehicles. The following are a few simple tips motorists should keep in mind so they can safely handle any car trouble that may arise while they are out on the road. • Keep a first-aid kit, spare tire and tire jack in the car at all times. Flat tires are no fun, but they are even more of a nuisance when drivers are not prepared to address them. Always keep a jack and spare tire in your car, even if the spare is a donut you can temporarily use to replace a flat tire until you make it to a filling station or automotive supply store. As an added safety measure, keep a fully stocked first aid kit in your vehicle in case you cut yourself while changing the tire or need to address another medi-
cal situation. Keep a blanket in the trunk as well so your passengers can stay warm should you experience car trouble on a cold day or night. • Make note of your surroundings. Some car troubles can only be fixed by the professionals, so pay careful
WIPER BLADES
attention to your surroundings in case an issue arises and forces you to pull over and call for help. Always pay attention to mile markers and any landmarks that might help you describe where you are. Car troubles can strike at any time and

around it. BCAA recommends placing the first flare or triangle 10 feet directly behind the side of the vehicle that is closest to the road. The second should be placed between 30 and 60 feet (increase the distances as the posted speed limit increases) behind the middle of the bumper, while the third flare or triangle should be placed between 120 and 360 feet behind the vehicle’s right side. • Stay with the vehicle. Once you have called for help and set up flares or triangles, stay with the vehicle, though do so at a safe enough distance so you are not in harm’s way. Sudden car troubles can be scary, but drivers who approach such issues calmly and quickly can reduce their risk for accident or injury.

anywhere, so be sure to pay special attention to your surroundings when driving in unfamiliar areas. • Pull over. Don’t panic if an issue arises suddenly. Remain calm and pull over onto the shoulder. The right shoulder is the area for pulling
over on most roads, but you may also use the left shoulder on multilane highways with medians. Try to get as far away from traffic as possible without driving off of level ground, and always use your signals when pulling onto the shoulder. If the vehicle can’t make it to the median, put your emergency flashers on and get out of the car, moving away from both the vehicle and traffic. Immediately call for emergency roadside assistance, alerting the authorities if need be. • Use flares or triangles to alert other drivers. So long as you are not risking your well-being, you can place flares and/ or warning triangles behind your vehicle so oncoming traffic knows to drive
BE READY FOR
SNOW REMOVAL
In the summer of 2015, a video of dozens of cars swerving to avoid a family of ducks crossing a busy highway went viral. While no people or ducks were injured in that incident, impromptu animal crossings are a potential hazard on roadways where drivers are unaccustomed to sharing the road with fourlegged counterparts. In the wake of the video, officials urged drivers not to stop for animals because of the hazards posed by sudden stopping. Drivers may have mixed feelings on whether or not to put their lives in jeopardy to save an errant animal, but sometimes there is little time to make a decision. As more neighborhoods and roadways infringe on natural habitats, incidents of
animals on the roadways figure to increase. Deer, moose, elk, and smaller animals can wander out onto busy roads, and there’s no foolproof way to prevent it. 1.5 million animal-car accidents occur each year, resulting in 10,000 injuries, 150 deaths and $2,500 in property damage on average. Knowing what to do when encountering animals on the road can help drivers avoid accidents and injuries. • Experts advise drivers to remain in their lanes and to attempt to slow down as quickly as possible when encountering animals on the road. Move slowly in the direction the animal was coming from if it’s safe, as animal instinct is to dart out in the direction it was going.
• Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Scan the edges of the road to see if animals are present. Dawn and dusk are key times for animals to be on the move looking for food. Autumn is both hunting and mating season for deer, and they tend to travel a lot during this time of year. • Obey speed limits and take signs warning of animal crossing hot spots seriously. • Should you hit an animal, do not exit the car and approach it. Injured animals can be dangerous, with pain driving them to flail, kick or bite. Sharing roadways with animals is tricky. Remaining alert, slowing down in highly populated wildlife areas and avoiding swerving can reduce risk of accident or injury.

Make sure that Rover isn’t a driving distraction Most people wouldn’t think twice about grabbing their pet and taking them for a ride in the car to run some errands or to visit friends and family. However, with an increased focus on distracted driving
and overall driving safety, there is growing concern about pet safety in the car. Many people overlook the potential distraction that a pet can be, especially if they are loose in your vehicle.
They can distract you from the road, impair your vision, and even attempt to climb on you while driving. Properly securing your pet will ensure you are both safe. HERE ARE
SOME SAFE DRIVING TIPS. • Don’t let your pets run loose in the car. • Don’t let your dog hang its head outside the win-
dow. • Secure your pets using a pet-friendly seat belt or safety harness. • Crate small pets at all times. • Avoid letting your pets sit on
your lap when driving. • Never leave your animal in the car unattended. • Consider installing a dog barrier in your vehicle if you have a hatchback, van or SUV.
Properly securing your pets in the car and ensuring they are safe before you hit the road will mean one less distraction. More detailed information is available from your insurance broker.

An airplane with children onboard takes off from the Springhouse Airpark Airport Saturday as part of the Williams Lake Flying Club’s annual COPA for Kids event, which offered free 15-minute flights for children.
COPA for Kids provides aviation thrills Angie Mindus Staff Writer Children with a keen interest in flying soared through brilliant blue skies and over blankets of green and gold Saturday thanks to pilots from the Williams Lake Flying Club. The club’s annual COPA for Kids event took place at the Springhouse Airpark Airport, with smiling faces all around. “I love it — anything to do with airplanes and kids.” said club pilot Don Stanchfield of why he supports the event every year. With his 1974 two-seater Bellanca Citabria, Stanchfield was one of several pilots on hand to give children free rides to help inspire and instil a love of flying in the next generation of aviators. “Ever since I was a kid I just loved airplanes and flying. I’ve been flying for 34 years now and every time my wheels leave the ground it still feels great.” Long-time pilots Dave Ireland and Lyle Connatty were also on hand to offer flights to kids. Ireland, who was unable to fly the plane himself Saturday while he recovers from eye sur-
gery, and Connatty co-own a four-seater Cessna 175. “We had many great trips in that plane — from the Bering Strait to Hudson Bay,” said Ireland as he watched his plane take off from the runway. Ireland said he learned to fly in 1967 to mark Canada’s centennial, and is proud to be apart of such a long, rich history with the local flying club. “The flying heritage here goes a long ways back.” For 12-year-old Mat Huston, flying in a fixed wing airplane for the first time was a thrill. “It was so much fun,” said Huston. “Especially when he flew us up, and then down fast.”

McLellan, 28, was stopped in the third round Sept. 18 in a 147-pound Canadian title bout versus Calgary’s Steve Claggett in his home town at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino. “There’s no crying about it,” McLellan said. “You just get back in the gym.” Things appeared to be going well for McLellan early, now with 12 wins, two losses and three draws in his career, until Claggett dropped a stinging body shot to McLellan’s liver to end the bout. “It was going

I beat the count but I was in no shape to continue, but it happens.” It was the first time McLellan had been stopped in a fight since his first amateur fight in 1988. “He’s had almost 30 [pro] fights. That experience definitely played a factor,” he said. “He’s in your face all the time, always moving.” McLellan, meanwhile, isn’t looking to take any time off and wants to step back in the ring as soon as he can. “I’ve got something lined up for October but can’t discuss the details until it’s official,” he said. “I was in the gym two days after the fight [training and getting ready].”

Biking mobile app gaining steam in lakecity Greg Sabatino Staff Writer A new Williams Lake mountain biking trail map mobile app is gaining traction. “I heard in Whistler and Squamish they had a trail app and apparently it was quite popular,” said Williams Lake Cycling Club director Ivor McMahen. “I thought it would be useful to have here.” McMahen contacted the creator of the app called TrailMapp, Ryan Robertson of the Lower Mainland, and asked if it could be done in Williams Lake. Several months later, after extensive updating of the local map database on McMahen’s part, Williams Lake TrailMapp became a reality. TrailMapp is simple to navigate. Users start by selecting a trail network, which then zooms in for a look at what the selected network offers. You can then select a trail — marked either green, blue or black for difficulty — for an extensive description. “Visitors that don’t know which trails go up or down — it’s useful instead of looking at the hardcopy map because there are a lot of variables,” he said, adding there is a GPS loca-

A Williams Lake mountain biking trail map mobile app called TrailMapps is available on the iStore. tor which shows users exactly where they are on the trail network in the event of getting lost. “Our network is huge,” he said. “We have top-notch signage but this tells you exactly where you are.” The app also shows parking locations for pickup and dropoff spots, and will work solely on GPS so no mobile network or data is required for its use. Currently the app will only work on iPhones,
however, an Android version is being developed and should be released soon, he said. “The feedback has been really fantastic,” he said. “There are recommended riding routes for each trail network with blow-byblow descriptions … my first thought was this would be great for visitors, but I’m finding a lot of local people like to get out and walk the trails. It could be useful for them, too.”

Williams Lake Where do I start?
The most common question heading into a first time fitness program is where do I start. With so much information out there, it’s hard to get a bead on what’s essential and what’s a nice to have. We can keep it simple by breaking Fitness Training 101 down into 3 conversations: what, why and how. The what. There are 5 key systems that are going to be activated during a fitness program. The skeletal system (bones), the muscular system (muscles & tendons), the respiratory system (lungs), the circulatory system (heart and blood flow) and the nervous system (brain and nerves). These systems are what prepares and keeps our body in motion on a daily basis. The why. Any good fitness program will incorporate all of the systems for the most complete program and best results. eg: if we want to lose weight or lean out we need a program which prepares our muscles to support our bones in order to benefit our lungs over a walk / run program. Many times we experience programs that deal with only 1 facet of fitness training eg: lifting weights and don’t understand why are not getting the overall benefits or results we were looking for. The how. Any effective fitness programs begin with a goal. In fact stats show the #1 reason why 99% of all fitness programs are unsuccessful is because there is no pre determined goal anchoring the focus. As the saying goes, no plan – no purpose – no point. Selecting a weight loss goal is ok – however the problem with choosing a weight loss goal is that great measures are taken to achieve that goal and once it is met, people revert back to their previous habits and the weight goes right back on. This is called the ‘yoyo effect’. Goals need to be short and long term, realistic & measurable (as opposed to ‘want to feel better’). A great goal would be to walk, hike, ride or run X distance over a certain time or take x shots off your golf swing, or increase your flexibility by x centimeters. That goal is put into a program that progressively builds over a determined period of time in order to be safely and realistically achieved. eg: if your goal is to one day run 10k, you would not begin by running 10k as fast as you could. You would start off with a progressive build.

THE BUCK STOPS HERE.
The need for medical palliative care is only increasing as the Canadian population ages and more people wish to stay at home for end of life care. It is my aim to support clients and families who desire a “good death” at home.
My nursing career has focused on geriatrics, home care, and “outpost” nursing. I have extensive experience working in isolated and multicultural communities and understand the unique challenges these environments can pose. I have also completed Victoria Hospice Society’s “Medical Care of the Dying” courses, which have afforded me invaluable insight, knowledge and hands on experience. Hospice staff and faculty continue to inspire and direct me when difficult situations arise.

Raeyden Beauchamp, Sebastian Gracia, Grady Thomas, Lane Paddison, Tyson Conroy and Brendan Pigeon each lit the limp in the team’s opener as they edged Prince George, 6-5. The T-wolves then hammered Quesnel, 5-2, with two markers from Paddison and singles from Brody Conroy, Tristan Takats and Thomas, before clobbering Vanderhoof 8-2. Tanner Hooper and Thomas each found the twine twice, while Jace Myers, Sam Powers, Paddison and Beauchamp each tallied once. In other out of town results, the midget female Timberwolves picked up three wins over Prince George, while the peewee tier 2 T-wolves fell 4-0 in Quesnel. The WL midget Twolves now head to Salmon Arm for a tournament Oct. 9-11, while the bantam Twolves, the peewee Twolves and the midget female T-wolves each have games this coming weekend.

Something for everyone at recreation complex Regardless of age, there are programs for everyone at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. City of Williams Lake Recreation Coordinator Denise Skarra said the CMRC has everything under one roof to meet your fitness goals at a great low membership price. All members are given unlimited access to the Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool, the Fitness Centre, drop-in aqua fit classes and multiple programs and events tailored toward children. Some of the featured programs include new lazer skates and freshlydesigned swimming events. The CMRC features multiple options for fitness including dryland classes, Low Impact Fit, TRX, toned down TRX, Balance Agility, Yogalates, Cardio Class and a Pump It Up Bootcamp class.
Aquafit classes include Lunch Fit, Afternoon Aquafit, Evening Aquafit and Aqua Zumba. “Another new program we have this year is called Functional Fitness from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Tuesdays for persons that have attended Interior Health’s hip or knee rehabilitation program, or people may want to participate if they have some sort of chronic illness and just want to start moving and to get back into fitness,” Skarra said. “Functional Fitness is a walking program in the arena lobby with stretching and strengthening — we’ll have chairs, etc., set up so people, if they can’t make the whole loop for the first time, they can go from there.” Back after positive results last year is also the CMRC’s Eating Habits Busting program — an enhanced membership providing a 12-month

Aquatic staff Elisabeth Rova and Barb Vincent show off some of the new equipment available to swimmers and Aquafit patrons at the Sam Ketcham Pool – hand paddles and pull buoys. The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex offers twin arenas, a swimming pool, fitness centre, and a large number of fitness and recreation programs. class where participants learn how to change their lifestyle by adjusting their diet and exercise. “Three times a year there will be a professional coming in — a dietician, someone talking about making physical changes and someone talking about exercise,” she said.
A Harvest Run planned for Oct. 18 is another special event added to the CMRC’s lineup for this year. “This is a five-kilometre walk, run or bike and it’s the first time we’re doing a fall event,” said Suzanne Cochrane, the City’s Recreation Programmer. “This event is very
similar to the Nutrition Run that occurs in the spring. Participants are able to come on the day of the event, there is not pre-registration process, and no fees for this fun active fall event.” Also new this year, CMRC staff have committed to offering more programs for youth. “Every Thursday pri-
or to a Pro-D Day we’re going to have a tween night pool party,” she said. “The parties we have hosted so far this year have been really successful. The next one is a Monster Mash Pool Bash and will be a Halloween-themed event on Thursday, Oct. 22.” The Tween Pool Night is for children 8 to 12 years old on Thursday, Oct. 22 from 7 to 9 p.m. Youth with the Grade 5 Initiative get in free to all our events and swims. The following day on October 23rd is a Family Pool Night from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The decorations and games will allow for tons of family fun. The new lazer skates are scheduled from December through to March, along with other pool events from October to February, such as a Swim with Santa on Dec. 4 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and a Tropical Swim Night on January
22nd from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The City’s Events and Marketing Coordinator, Ken MacInnis, encouraged everyone to pick up the City’s 2015 Active Living Guide, available at the CMRC and at various places around Williams Lake. “One thing that always strikes me is you have the traditional things like drop-in fitness classes, the pool, but what always impresses me is we have quite the gamut of programs,” he said. “[The Active Living Guide] is really worth checking out and you never know what you might see that peaks your interest.” Memberships to the CMRC are available on a monthly or annual basis, along with 10-time punch pass cards.
