If last weekend’s advanced polling is any indication, area residents are certainly engaged in the federal election. Lineups were steady during the advanced polling at the Seniors Activity Centre throughout the Thanksgiving Weekend, with polls open Friday through Monday from noon to 8 p.m. For those who are saving their vote until Election Day Oct. 19, all seven candidates in the Cariboo-Prince George riding plan to participate in the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce’s federal election forum. The forum takes place on Thursday, Oct. 15, at the Pioneer Complex from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The event is free and everyone is welcome. “Questions are coming in and we will accept them up until Oct. 14,” said Claudia Blair, executive director with the chamber. “All questions are welcome. We will only eliminate questions if they are for example 10 people asking the same thing.” Questions can be dropped off, phoned in or e-mailed by contacting the chamber at 250-392-5025 or email visitors@telus.net. City councillor Jason Ryll will moderate the forum. The event is hosted with support from the BC Northern Real Estate Board. Blair warned there is some construction going on at the complex so if people can car pool that would be ideal. “We’ll be there by 6 p.m. to set up so people can come early,” she added.

Telus fibre build in Williams Lake nearing completion Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A $14 million fibre build in Williams Lake should be completed by the end of the year, said Telus general manager Bert Braybrook during a celebration held Friday in Williams Lake. Speaking to guests and dignitaries gathered under a tent in Boitanio Park, Braybrook said fibre optics will offer access to world-class services and advanced technology. “To the people who choose to connect to fibre optics, you are future-proofing your home and getting ready for technology that we will see soon in the future,” Braybrook said. Before it was his turn to speak, Telus vicepresident of broadband implementation Zouheir Mansourati hesitated. “I promised I’d give a plug for a lady selling honey at the Farmer’s Market,” he smiled. “I tasted the honey per-
sonally and am taking a jar with me.” Mansourati said Telus and the municipality share a vision to make Williams Lake one of the most connected cities in North America. “This is a generational investment and I feel lucky to be part of it,” he said. “This is where the opportunity lies in the fact you no longer have to be physically on location, you can be logically connected and do the job just as you would on location.” Mansourati also highlighted the advantage of the technology for education and health. “In health care it can offer innovate in-home solutions for helping to manage the rising cost of care,” Mansourati said, noting Telus has been investing heavily in this area because it feels very strongly about the future of health care. The fibre deployment comes at no cost to residents or businesses, he added.
“Moreover you don’t have to be a Telus customer to receive a fibre connection to your home, nor is the commitment to purchase the Telus service required once our work is complete.” Presently the project is 90 per cent complete and citizens can expect to see the Telus team in the coming weeks visiting homes and businesses to provide information on getting connected, Mansourati said, confirming the boundary for service will be within the municipal boundary of Williams Lake. However, he suggested if communities and clusters of homes came forward to Telus and said they want connectivity, the company would look at what could be economically viable. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said fibre optic technology will open up opportunities for Williams Lake. “Here in Williams Lake you have it all

A $14 million fibre build in Williams Lake should be completed by the end of the year, said Telus general manager Bert Braybrook Friday. now,” Barnett told the crowd. “You have reasonable land, you have a university, a good hospital and a great community so now it’s up to you the City of Williams Lake to get out there and chase this opportunity.” Mayor Walt Cobb thanked Telus for its commitment to helping Williams Lake be con-
nected to the rest of the world. “We have no reason not to be the technology centre of B.C. from here on in,” Cobb said. Among the guests enjoying the celebration was Graham Smith who arrived in Williams Lake in 1976 to work for Telus. At the time there were two fax machines
in the town — one at the government office and one at the RCMP detachment. “Everyone west of the Fraser River had crank phones, except at Alexis Creek and Bella Coola where they had dial phones,” Smith said. His office phone was ringing off the hook with people wanting to
upgrade to dial phones. When they did get dial phones they shared those lines with 10 people on a party line. “It was better because with crank phones they shared the line with 30 people,” he added. Smith’s remarks were a good reminder of how far technology has come in 40 years.
Mayor stands by comments on Mount Polley spill Public warned Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Mayor Walt Cobb said he stands by comments he made about the Mount Polley Mine spill during a CBC radio interview last month despite being criticized by local First Nation leaders. “I said it was water and silt,” Cobb said Friday. “I did mention that the Mount Polley breach could be compared to a land/mud slide on the Sea to Sky
highway. I do not recall the exact words.” Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Ann Louie and Xat’sull First Nation Chief Donna Dixon issued a joint statement last week saying Cobb had downplayed the mine breach. “This was no mere mudslide — it was a disaster that resulted in the complete evacuation of mine-related water and slurry from a tailings storage facility that was nearly
four square kilometres in size,” Louie said. Cobb, however, said the only difference between the two is that no one ever determines what the content is in a mudslide. “But we know what came from the tailings pond and everything that was in the tailings pond is ground up rock that originated in the ground and there were no chemicals used during the crushing process.”
Cobb said people will deduce what they want from any statement, but he believes the media has blown it out of proportion to sell news. Dixon said Cobb’s comments were thoroughly misleading and will only serve to foment anger and division within the community and country in general. When asked how he feels his relationship is with local First Nations leaders Cobb
said he thinks the city has a good relationship with both bands but may have different points of view on different issues. The radio interview was about the Bill of Rights and not about Mount Polley specifically, Cobb said. “The Mount Polley discussion came from the interviewer and she made some incorrect assumptions which brought up the issue around mudslides.”
Williams Lake RCMP are warning of a motorist possibly trying to impersonate a police officer following a strange incident on Highway 97 north of McLeese Lake recently. The motorist was observed attempting to stop traffic while driving a 2004 white Crown Victoria and wearing a sheriff’s name tag and badge Oct. 11. “We want the public to be aware of this situation,” said
Staff Sgt. Del Byron, noting the vehicle in question was determined to be a decommissioned police car, with no light bar or police decals. Byron said the driver was also seen turning his vehicle towards oncoming traffic and waved his hand out of the window in an attempt to stop motorists. Upon further investigation, Byron said officers discovered similar incidents being reported in other jurisdictions.

continue to support an approach that is measured, balanced, and focused on ensuring that we take real action to help the refugee crisis that has been aggravated by the threat of ISIS. Our government has supported humanitarian efforts in Turkey, Egypt and Jordan as the crisis
unfolded. As your representative, I will support plans that work for Canadians. This is why I support our plan that would bring in 10,000 new refugees by September of next year, and provides support for screening refugees. This is a plan that doesn’t set aside the security concerns of
Canadians. We’re making sure Canada takes in real refugees, not people trying to exploit weak systems in order to pursue ISIS’ agendas internationally.

Canada should be utilizing its foreign embassies and field offices to fast track refugee applications for the most vulnerable, this would include young families with children. At the present time, the Canadian Armed Forces has multiple military transport A-320 Airbuses in the conflict area. An organized and safe evacuation can be initiated by the Canadian Government with immediate transport of hundreds to the safety at CFB Trenton and CFB Greenwood.

Canada is a country built by immigrants and the children of immigrants. Millions of people envy our lives. We enjoy prosperity, freedom, and acceptance. Today the focus is on Syrian refugees, but we cannot forget that there have been refugees from all parts of the world in the past and, unfortunately, there are bound to be more in the future. I believe that Canada has the capacity to accept many more refugees, offering them the same chance our ancestors had, a chance to contribute to a welcoming country that leads by example. We will bring in 25,000 more Syrian refugees immediately, without compromising our security or screening. I support and applaud that plan. To some people, that may sound like a large number. But really it amounts to about 6,000 refugee families or so spread across Canada. Refugees are motivated, educated, and will bring skills to this country that will contribute to our economy. We have the opportunity and the ability to embrace these people in our communities. We are the lucky ones here in Canada. Sharing that good fortune is the right thing to do. See POSITIONS Page A5

While we must ensure that refugee applications are dealt with as quickly as due process will allow, we must also ensure that refugees accepted in Canada are properly screened to avoid bringing in criminals or other false claimants. Immigration should be compassionate, but also add value to Canada. Furthermore, as much of our country is currently in a recession, thanks to the current government’s banking on oil prices, there are few jobs available for refugees. Canada has a long history of opening its doors to those in need, but it will do no one any good to go from poverty to poverty. We must ensure that refugees have viable economic futures here in Canada, and Canada must use its

diplomatic resources to persuade allies closer to war-torn regions to do more for refugees than they have been. As well, it is important to address the root cause of why there are refugees, and to work towards ending the violent circumstances that force people from their homes.
There have been reports of Iranians and Saudi Arabians going into Syria, throwing away their ID and getting into European countries as “Sryian” refugees. So I think it is still important to screen potential refugees.
Party candidate Trent Derrick
Christian Heritage Party Adam De Kroon
That’s an apolitical no-brainer for me with Canada being the second largest country in the world with more water and other resources than anywhere else on the
planet. As the old saying goes, “But for the Grace of God there go I.” We should take in as many as possible. That is the deal because that’s what made up Canada in the first place. We need more people. We only have 37 million. We are such a big country and have room for anyone. It’s such a challenge for refugees to get here and if they can some how then they deserve to be here.
Absolutely, let’s accept more refugees. But at the same time I think it is important to screen potential refugees to make sure that we are accepting people who need our help the most.

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus
An election for LINING UP FOR MIGRATION the record books
Supporting manufacturing
here have been stories from all over the country about difficulties in voting — voter information card errors, strange polling centre changes, long time voters not listed — it goes on and on. One explanation is that the early election call caught Elections Canada off guard and it took a while to get organized. I don’t remember anything quite like it and the continuing news of glitches is making some voters uneasy. In our 148 years as a country, this is our first real three-party election race. It’s also the first time social media has played a big part, especially for the candidates who had to step down because of past comments on Facebook or Twitter. French The wannabe Connection candidate who Diana French relieved himself in his customer’s coffee mug is a different matter, but I do have a problem with candidates being dumped because of something they said years ago. Why not let the voters decide? Along with being the longest campaign in Canadian history, this is also the most costly, some say at least twice as much as a traditional campaign. Taxpayers not only pay for the extra Election Canada costs, we reimburse the parties, and donors, for a good chunk of their campaign costs. That could be more than $125 million extra. None of this seems to have stopped a record number of voters from showing up at the advance polls, or maybe it’s the reason they are. *** The weirdest political story of the week wasn’t federal, it came from Alberta. According to the Globe and Mail, Wildrose Opposition MLA and Finance Critic Derek Fildebrandt accused Premier Rachel Notley of “duping” the public by keeping a campaign promise to raise the minimum wage. He claims the NDP only made the promise during the election campaign because they didn’t expect to be elected. Apparently he feels they had no right to enact it just because they were. That’s a new one. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.
ct 11-17 is Manufacturing Week in B.C. and an opportunity to showcase how manufacturing contributes to B.C.’s diverse, strong and growing economy. Manufacturing draws on various sectors of the BC Jobs Plan, supplying raw materials, energy and equipment to produce a wide range of goods for export and domestic markets. Manufacturing generates more than $14 billion in gross domestic product. It creates family-supporting jobs. Manufacturing creates a range of diverse products across various industries, including in the forestry sector. Pioneer Log Homes of BC is a fantastic success story here in Williams Lake. The company creates MLA unique log homes Musings and then ships them around the Coralee Oakes world. The homes are rebuilt however the client likes. You can see some of their fantastic work on the reality show Timber Kings on Home and Garden TV. This practical and creative use of wood puts BC on the map, building BC’s presence across the globe. In addition to forestry, agriculture industry also plays a role in manufacturing. B.C.’s food and beverage processing industry is among the largest of B.C.’s manufacturing industries. In 2014, there were more than 1,800 small and medium-sized firms that generated over $8.5 billion in shipments — more than half-abillion dollar increase over 2013. Inputs into the food and beverage manufacturing sector include B.C. agriculture and seafood products as well as imported agrifood and seafood destined for value-added processing within the province. Local businesses like Margetts Meat Market support this industry. Manufacturing has enormous economic and social impacts in British Columbia. Most jobs, directly or indirectly, depend on manufacturing. Our government is committed to working with manufacturers to help increase the profile of the industry, to expand their market share, recruit new talent and improve their ability to compete in global markets. We encourage young people to enter the field and access the training required to pursue rewarding careers in the industry. 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.

Then there are the drivers who’ll race through a stale yellow light, rather than wait two minutes for the next green, or the ones who jump the green to get in a left turn before oncoming traffic has a chance to move. There is no shortage of aggressive drivers on our roads. As much as we all know it’s illegal and incredibly dangerous, it’s behaviour we’ve all come to expect and, to some degree, accept. We might sigh, and ease our foot off the accelerator a little bit, just to give the aggressor a chance to move a bit farther along and minimize our own risk of getting caught up in any carnage they might generate. But it’s so common, it barely raises an eyebrow. What is still a little surprising, though, (at least it should be) is the percentage of vehicles that go blasting by with a green ‘N’ affixed to the back window or bumper. The ‘N’ stands, of course, for new (the sticker’s colour is symbolic in its own right). That’s new as in, inexperienced, unpractised, unskilled, amateur. Despite that lack of experience, there’s a blind confidence and sense of indestructibility that seems to come with being young. Granted, not every new driver is a

young driver, but it’s a fair assumption that the vast majority aren’t too far removed from their 16th birthday. Regardless, on roads as busy as the ones Lower Mainlanders drive every day — roads that handle everything from cyclists to semis — there is a whole lot going on for even the most experienced driver to take in. It’s too soon to know what led to the fatal Oct. 7 crash in Surrey that killed a young man as he sat waiting for a bus. We do know the vehicle left the road, jumped the curb and pinned the 22-year-old to the bus bench. And we know the vehicle had a green ‘N’ in its back window. Its driver, just 17. Regardless of whether the cause was speed, distraction, road conditions, vehicle malfunction or some combination — unless it was a medical emergency, we’re also pretty certain that it could have been avoided. Whether it’s slowing down, paying closer attention or ensuring a vehicle is properly maintained, we all have a responsibility to ensure that our actions don’t put others in harm’s way. Almost immediately after the Surrey crash, the victim’s family spoke publicly, urging all drivers to slow down just a little and to pay closer attention to everything that is going on around them. Under the circumstances, it’s not a lot to ask. - Black Press

Patience with city potholes lost Editor: I am writing this letter to voice my concern over the many potholes within the city. After calling the city to see when they would be fixed, I was told I would get put on a list because they don’t know where all the potholes are. The fact that they were crash
sealing all the roads months ago and didn’t notice the holes is beyond me. I have been waiting patiently for the holes outside my driveway to be fixed for a year now. Do they not fix potholes anymore unless they are huge? I live on Eleventh Avenue, one of the busiest streets in town, and the holes have been the same for a

year. My patience has run out and I’m tired of driving down the middle of the road and wrecking my tires when I go home. Last year I had two flat tires and I never have flat tires.
I was with the B.C. Forest Service for almost 40 years and it saddens me to see what is happening to our forest in the Chilcotin. When I started in the 1950s, logging practices were destructive and wasteful. Over the years they improved to where I felt we were
practicing responsible, sustainable forestry. Since management of the forest has been turned over to the major forest companies, all that has changed. The one goal is to maximize saw log production. There is no concern for water, wildlife, fish, recreation, grazing or anything else.
The all-candidates forum gave me a lot of information.

Not so with the new boxes on South Lakeside. The mail truck will stop on the travelled portion of the road to leave mail in

If you do not have your four-way flashers on and are rearended you are at fault no exception, points and fine.

that could be built out wide enough to accommodate mail pick up and delivery and not interfere with road traffic would be from the Seventh Day Adventist School almost to Renner Road. All other road shoulders are too narrow. This build up would have to be on the railroad side of South Lakeside Drive. Moving mailboxes does not solve the problem of snow pushed sideways by plow trucks and graders and the fact as soon as snow starts
the roadway only gets more narrow and impossible to walk on. Moving the boxes to the south end of Lot 112 moves them into a three-way intersection and stop signs in both directions on Juniper Street and Birch Hill Street. This does not solve the problem of mail delivery and safety. Easy solutions go back to house-to-house delivery for residents’ safety and postal employees’ safety. Peter Epp Williams Lake

Tom Fletcher Black Press The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement doesn’t resolve Canada’s long-running dispute with the United States over softwood lumber, or remove restrictions on log exports from B.C. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the Canadian government would like to renew the Canada-U.S. softwood agreement, expired as of Thanksgiving Day. It’s a side deal outside the North American Free Trade Agreement, and it won’t be covered by the Pacific Rim trade either. “Obviously we would like to see this agreement move forward, and I think industry on both sides of the border would, but for reasons that were not entirely clear, the American administration hasn’t seen it that way,” Harper said in an

Log export restrictions in B.C. are a long-standing source of irritation for both the U.S. and Japan. interview with Black Press. “In terms of forestry, what the TPP does do is provide new tariff-free access to many Asian countries, including enhanced access to the Japanese market.” Restrictions on log exports from B.C. are also not eased by the
TPP, which includes Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, New Zealand and Australia. B.C.’s control over Crown land log prices has long been an irritant with the U.S. and Japan, while private and aboriginal land log producers are restricted by federal rules.

“B.C. was able to ensure that both provincial and federal log export controls will not change as a result of the TPP, despite pressure from Japan to eliminate them,” B.C. International Trade Minister Teresa Wat said in a statement. “B.C.’s objectives for the forestry sector during the TPP negotiations were to gain market access for forestry products to important TPP markets such as Japan, while maintaining existing log ex-
port controls.” Premier Christy Clark said this week her first call to Ottawa after the Oct. 19 federal election will be about continuing the U.S. softwood lumber talks. Harper expressed confidence that despite the history of U.S. legal and trade actions over the years, the existing deal can be extended. “We’ve managed to export a lot of lumber over the years and I’m confident we will continue to,” Harper said.

Artists share a passion for two-wheel adventure Jane Wellburn and her partner Kurt Williams are two of 16 artists featured in the October show at the Station House Gallery Into the Wind, all about the art surrounding motorcycle culture. They attended the opening earlier this month with their infant son, Angus, who made the rounds of eager friends and family wanting to hold him. Kurt pulled the artists together for the show with the idea that it would be less intimidating for them to submit a piece or two each. The result is an eclectic show featur-

custom motorcycles, and art work for seats, gas tanks and helmets. Kurt started work-
ing on motorcycles at an early age. His dad’s 1969 Triumph Bonneville that sat in a corner of the garage his entire
childhood was pivotal in planting a love of everything on two wheels which has taken him to the far south of
Patagonia and into the world of building bikes and working with vintage iron. For this show Kurt has taken inspiration from old Easy Rider Magazines and has completed several pieces in different media. Not being formally trained in art,Kurt,just tries to have fun and create in the folk art tradition. Born and raised in Williams Lake Wellburn has dabbled in creative pursuits her whole life. Her work in textiles was included in
the 2014 Station House Gallery show What to Wear. Harbouring a lifelong love for twowheeled transportation bought a motorcycle in 2009 to enjoy the feeling of speed and freedom that riding a motorcycle gives you. She says she also needed an excuse to justify a number of leather jackets in her wardrobe. Her love of riding is summed up best by the words of Arlo Guthrie: “I don’t want a pickle. I just want to ride on my motorcycle.”
Diamond dinner supports local causes It may be a lone diamond, but what a diamond. The diamond donated every year by Woodland Jewellers for the Diamond Dinner, Banquet and Auction fundraiser goes on to become part of the community’s generous collective consciousness. The grand prize draw that comes with tickets
to the fundraiser is a Canadian cut diamond and custom work donated by Woodland Jewellers and jewellery designer Geoff Bourdon. The diamond is valued at $2,250, with custom work up to $1000 from Geoff Bourdon. And funds raised by this diamond will join funds raised through the generous donation
of auction items to help the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre and Women’s Contact Society provide valuable services to the community. Some highlights of the auction items donated by local businesses include a fishing trip for four from Gustafson’s Dodge and Central Coast Adventures, a beautiful hand-
made quilt by Elaine Watt, and a trip for a week to a destination of your choice from Heartland Toyota. Last year the event raised $27,120. Proceeds from this year’s Diamond Dinner and Auction will help to support the Good Food Box Program operated by the Women’s Contact Society and the Cariboo Autism
Centre operated by the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre. The annual Diamond Dinner and Auction is coming up at Signal Point Event Centre – Pioneer Room on Saturday, Oct. 17. Tickets are $70 and available at Child Development Centre (250-392-4481) and Women’s Contact Society (250-392-4118).

council directors. “This will be a pot luck appetizer affair,” Hoffman says. “We welcome new members and would love to hear new ideas for fun projects to do in Williams Lake. “Working with this group is very rewarding

Scout Island summer student Patrick Newsome (left), along with Amelia McDonald, Emma Grace McDonald, environmental educator Paula Laita, Emilie Wijma, Adam Wijma and Dorian Levesque, enjoy hands-on learning about owls during bird week at the Nature Centre.
Kids up close with nature at Scout Island LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Paula Laita is an environmental educator at Scout Island Nature Centre who brings her passion for the natural world into every encounter with a child. Her job started two years ago when she moved to Williams Lake and helped as a volunteer with environmental programs for kids. She explains that she chose Williams Lake because of the lake and the beautiful protected marsh area, adding that there are also a lot of outdoor activities to do here. Before moving to Canada she taught in Spain as an environmental educator at summer camps during her university years. She received her master’s degree in translation and intercultural communication and is currently working on her doctorate degree. “I could have gone into teaching, but I prefer to teach outside the classroom in a more informal setting – teaching by
experimenting. I love teaching here,” Laita says. The summer program provided two sessions on Tuesdays for children ages three to eight with crafts, games, walks, hands-on learning and hands-on fun. Continuing through the year Scout Island also has the NatureKids B.C. program for kids sges five to 12 years old. Formerly known as the Young Naturalists Club of B.C., the club has activities and field trips once a month. “I recently did a field trip with our club members and their parents to my bluebird route,” Laita says. “This is a program started over 20 years ago where people put up bluebird houses because there were a lot of grasshoppers in the farm fields. Instead of using pesticides, they thought they could use biological control. They brought the bluebirds back, and that got rid of the grasshoppers. They started with 300 boxes, and now there are more than a thousand.” She says the Williams Lake Field Naturalists take care of the bird houses. Members each
take on a certain number of boxes to maintain and monitor. Monitoring includes checking to see how many eggs are laid and how many chicks hatch. “I took my group on a field trip to monitor my boxes,” Laita says. “I have 59 boxes: we did about 15 of them. We counted the chicks and collected all the information.” She adds that NatureKids B.C. at Scout Island also holds family events and sometimes combines them with club activities. “It’s great for parents and kids to learn together. Last year in August we took the club members and their families to some nearby caves to listen to bats. New members are always welcome! “It’s so important for kids to be outdoors. “You can learn a lot by observing, touching and being close up to nature. Observation is a great way to learn: what do you see, hear, touch and smell? “Connecting kids to nature is important because when you know about something you’re
more likely to care about it and want protect it,” Laita says. Recently she says the group studied bird beaks, learning about all the different types of beaks and how they work. Another day they studied owls and another day learned all about feathers. “Getting to know about nature, about our local area, we try to teach the kids what we have here so they’ll like it and love it and want to take care of it,” she continued. “Today there are more distractions than when I was a kid and we didn’t even have computers. There is a lot of information out there, thanks to technology, but that’s not the same as a hands-on encounter. You don’t get to touch. That’s why kids need to get outside and why our kids love about being at Scout Island, the chance to really connect with nature.” For more information about ongoing programs and activities at Scout Island, including how to join NatureKids B.C., visit www.scoutislandnaturecentre.ca or phone 250-3988532.

Exploring the Puddle Daycare educator Faren Rouse gives peas from the Children’s Learning Garden in the city’s Memory Garden to children Khloe Bremner, Katy Jasper, and Edward Schiller. In addition to learning all about gardening and helping with the garden work during their visits to the garden, children attending Exploring the Puddle Day Care regularly visit various businesses and community resources such as the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin and the Station House Gallery.
Exploring part of day care fun LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor The Williams Lake community is enriching the lives of local children, increasing their self-esteem and connecting them to their community, says Exploring the Puddle Day Care owner Faren Rouse. Rouse, along with co-owner Sheila Nairn and fellow teacher Kristen Wallick, run Exploring the Puddle on Third Avenue. Starting with 12 kids when it opened in June 2013, Exploring the Puddle has expanded to more than 30 fami-
lies and to four separate programs, including preschool sessions. They’ve also added an adventure summer day camp program for kids, and expanded their garden experience to two plots at the Memory Garden on Carson Avenue. With all the exciting changes and growth at Exploring the Puddle, one thing that has remained is the focus on the community. “It has gone far past our expectations. Everyone has been so inclusive and willing to welcome our kids as part of the community,” Rouse explains.

“We are a ReggioEmilia inspired facility, an approach to learning that sees a child as a capable being, not an empty vessel. “Part of the ReggioEmilia philosophy is community involvement, and the Williams Lake community has been unbelievably responsive, from donating items for repurposing, to sharing their time with the kids and making them feel they’re part of the community.” She says response has been enormous,
adding that from nonprofit to business, and from community organizations to the city, everyone makes sure the kids get everything out of whatever activity they’re doing that day. “This includes people like Farmer’s Market vendors, the CRD librarians, the Williams Lake Food Policy Council, Glen Arbor residents and Horsefly Nursery,” she says.

ticing and communicating empathy for their child’s experience. Connect is a 10 week program, facilitated by trained mental health professionals, that support parents of preteens and teens develop and maintain strong positive relationships. Connect is for all parents — it helps protect teens as they move forward in their journey to adulthood. Each session provides parents with a new perspective on parent-teen relationships
and adolescent development. Parents watch role-plays, do exercises and discuss new ways of responding to challenging behaviour and problems. We understand that each child and each parent is different and change is part of development. Rather than teach only one way of parenting, we help parents see choices that support healthy relationships while setting limits and helping their teen to move forward.
The next Connect Parent Group runs October 21 to December 16, Wednesdays from 5:30 to 7 p.m. There will be a feedback session in the new year. There is no charge, but pre-registration is required due to limited seating. Food and refreshments are provided.

When the gallery did its Hair exhibit we did our hair all crazy and went for a visit.” She added that everywhere they go, people take the time to talk to the kids and explain things to them. “A huge hit for the kids was when the Indoor Rodeo not only welcomed them to the Cowboy Carnival, they also invited them to watch the dump trucks bringing the dirt into the arena.

Sometimes wonder and worry about your child’s behaviour? Ever worry about your relationship with your child — feel like you just don’t know what to do? Canadian Mental Health Association’s Family Solutions Program is offering a group for parents and caregivers. The Connect Parent Group takes a different approach than most other parent group for-
mats. It is an attachment focused approach to supporting caregivers and families. Rather than focusing on behavioural management techniques, Connect focuses on enhancing the parents’ ability to reflect before acting, by teaching skills that that help parents ‘reframe’ their child’s behaviour. This is done by working with parents to understand and modulate their own emotional responses to problem behaviour and by prac-

NEWS Mannequin offers training for hospital staff Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Cariboo Memorial Hospital’s trauma room was turned into a classroom Tuesday morning while local doctors and nurses worked with ISTAN — a high fidelity simulator mannequin. “We go through scenarios the local hospital has deemed important,” said Tracy Canuel, regional knowledge co-ordinator of the rural simulation program for
Interior Health. “You use your own equipment so you are getting used to finding things.” Simulation leader Spencer Brown, an emergency doctor at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, said the four-to-five-hour course offers health care providers a nonthreatening environment to practise in. “They can work on improving communication and on things that are difficult to
work on in real life situations,” Brown said, noting the classes are done with doctors and nurses working together because that’s more realistic. Brown said the hospital in Kamloops is building a permanent simulation lab that will be open full time so people can practice. It takes about one hour to complete one scenario, Brown told Dr. Mike Garrard
and nurses Marina Crick and Kim Ramier just before they began the first one. “We do everything as real as possible,” Canuel said. “ISTAN does have chest sounds, heart sounds, he breathes, his chest goes up and down, he has palpable pulses and he does blink.” ISTAN’s price tag is about $80,000, with an additional expensive warranty, Canuel said, noting there’s a

Tips for helping children prepare for an emergency BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) is reminding parents and caregivers that teaching children when and how to call 9-1-1 is one of the most important things they can do to help keep loved ones safe.
“It’s more than teaching children how to dial a phone. It’s about helping children understand what an emergency is and what happens when a dispatcher answers their call,” says Paramedic Unit Chief Marilyn Oberg. “Teaching
children about calling 9-1-1 is simple and it can save lives.” Follow the three Ts to teach your children to call 9-1-1: Talk to your children about emergencies. Speak calmly, in a reassuring manner about different kinds
of emergency situations in your home, in the park or with friends. Ask questions such as: What would you do if someone faints? What would you do if someone has a bug bite? Tell children that
You paid how much!? #ShouldaUsedWilliamsLake
9-1-1 is a number to call for help when someone is in danger or not safe and that children can trust the person who answers a 9-1-1 call. Try role-playing to build their confidence; ask them when they should call 9-1-1
or to point out emergency workers in your community. “Start with the basics when your child is three or four,” suggests Oberg. “Roleplay some simple scenarios with your child — ‘mom can’t get up from the floor
and there’s no one else around’ — and then pretend to dial 9-1-1 on a play phone,” says Oberg. “Revisit the lesson every year as your child becomes more mature and aware of his or her surroundings and abilities.”

Violent explosion wrecks town house Only minor injuries to three children resulted in a tremendous explosion last night that literally made a shambles of a three-story frame building in the down-town area. Force of the explosion, which was felt as far away as three city blocks, tore chunks out of the building’s eight-inch concrete foundations, ripped up entire floor sections and tossed kitchen appliances and furniture around like toys. Owner of the building, Jim Johnson, who was just completing major renovations to the building to provide for five self contained suites, was standing on the main floor with his helper, Harold Sahlesgron when the explosion occurred. Mr. Johnson had just suggested quitting for the night when the explosion tore through the main hall, knocking both men down. Following the blast, Mr. Johnson started out the door to the room to find his way blocked by a section of the hall floor, ripped out complete with tile covering and slammed against the doorway. Mr. Sahlesgron said all he remembered was a “Wham, and then a push of air.” Although there was no fire, Mr. Sahlesgron had his eyebrows singed by the blast. Up on the second floor, a new and empty suite in the front of the building was wrecked as the blast threw a fridge across the room and tore apart a small kitchen range. At the back of the building, in the Johnson’s living quarters,

damage was not so intense, which was fortunate, because the suite was occupied by Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Sahlesgron and the latter’s six children. Three of the children were injured by flying articles and were treated in hospital. Threeyear-old David received a cut on his head from a falling table, his brother Mark, 8, suffered a shoulder bruise, and little Elizabeth 21 months, was burned by hot coffee when the pot was knocked flying. From top to bottom, the building was rocked as though a giant hand had shaken it. Foundations were completely knocked out around one corner. Up in the third floor suite, which was to be occupied the next day by the Manuel Rottackers, dishes and ornaments were also smashed. Mr. Johnson said he was putting the finishing touches on suites and they would have been occupied in a matter of days. The gas system hooking up all of the suites had been installed and turned on at noon that day after being thoroughly tested. The system was being fed from a 100 pound tank at the rear of the building. It is believed gas escaped through a leak in the lower lines and piled up under the main floor, finally being touched off by a pilot light in one of the pieces of equipment. Complete estimate of the damage is not known yet. Mr. Johnson said the building was insured. Williams Lake Tribune August, 1962

Hospital proceeding on schedule Work on Williams Lake’s largest construction project, the new Memorial Hospital, is proceeding according to schedule. Talking to superintendent Bill Daniels today, The Tribune was told that the completion date has not been firmly fixed since the government finally consented to allow a partial finishing of the fourth floor. “The job was to have been completed by spring but I cannot be sure at this time when we shall be through with these revised plans,” Daniels commented. There are more than 40 men working full time on the project, plumbers, plasterers, sheet metal workers, electricians and other tradesmen transform this vast complex into a daily hive of activity. On one floor large sheetmetal machines provide a center of industry for all the work to be done throughout the building. Two plasterers are coping with bucket loads of plaster which would put the average do-ityourself man to shame for speed
of operation as pound after pound of thick grey material is swept over the thousands of
square feet to be covered. The walls look quite odd. Instead of the usual two by four

studs, the onlooker sees trellis like networks of wire which provide the basic framework. Wall boards are attached to the wire and are then ready for the plasterers to finish off. Small groups of men are a common sight, usually headed by superintendent Bill Daniels, clerk-of-works Frank Cartwright or both men as they are required at any and every corner of the building to sort our some items of construction which didn’t quite work out as smoothly as the plans suggested it would. The fourth floor project will provide space for an extra 39 beds making a total of 111 in all. Its partial completion will comprise only such major tasks as could not be done at a later date without disrupting the rest of the hospital. Work left to be done will be performed by local tradesmen and will consist of painting, putting in electrical and plumbing fittings, some cabinet work and installing finish hardware.

After a recordbreaking summer of research, the Tatlayoko Lake Bird Observatory is shutting down for the season and possibly forever. The observatory has monitored bird population data for the past decade, operating under the wing of the Nature Conservancy of Canada. But now, funding has not been found for it to continue, and it faces an uncertain future. This summer researchers documented and banded a recordbreaking number of migrating Western Tanagers, American Robins and Swainson’s Thrushes returning to the Tatlayoko Valley this spring. It was also a banner summer for insect-eating birds such as flycatchers and swallows. The observatory is located in the Chilcotin 250 kilometres west
of Williams Lake and costs $17,000 per year to operate. It is staffed by two professional banders and a cadre of volunteer naturalists who tracks birds and population patterns to provide important information about climate and habitat well-being. Avery Bartels, who has worked at the station since 2010, and has been the chief bander for the past two years, gathering good information about birds’ migration patterns says research takes a minimum of 10 years, and ideally, should be longer. “The longer the project goes on, the more valuable the data becomes,” says Bartels, explaining that the Canadian Migration Monitoring Network (CMMN), a national organization, uses data from bird observatories across Canada that have been in operation for 10 years or more. Bruno Drolet of the
CMMN said TLBO currently provides trend data for 152 regular migrant species, nearly one third (41) of which are considered to be top priority for landbird monitoring in Canada. “This is a very significant contribution to landbird management,” he said. In the past 10 years, the TLBO banded a record 16,216 birds. “This 10 year mark is widely regarded as the threshold at which point the data starts to become usable,” says Bartels, adding that now is the time to begin building a long-term database, not shutting down the research. “It is important now more than ever that the station carries on, so as to get the most out of the great work that has already been accomplished,” says Bartels. “The amount of time and effort required to build them up is nothing to take lightly and discontinu-
ing a project of this scale should only occur when all avenues have been pursued.” Andrew Harcombe, who worked with the Nature Conservancy of Canada to start the Tatlayoko Lake Bird Observatory and ran it until his retirement earlier this year, wrote in his blog that “Specific funds for running the TLBO have never been secured; funding to date has been cobbled together from existing funds and discretionary sources. Because discretionary funding is often hard to acquire, future funding for TLBO is in doubt.” Since inception in 2006, the TLBO has banded 15,196 birds, representing more than 140 species. The Nature Conservancy is looking for partner organizations that may be able to help keep the observatory in flight. For more information visit www. natureconservancy.ca/ bc.

Stamps thump ‘Roos in home opener Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Stampeders made turkeys out of the Quesnel Kangaroos on Thanksgiving weekend in an 8-1 drubbing. Fans left the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex Saturday filled with visions of pucks flying past both ‘Roos netminders as the Stampeders put forward a successful outing in their home-ice opener to improve to two wins and a loss early in the Central Interior Hockey League season. It took just seven minutes for Williams Lake to open the scoring as Matt Stang notched his first of two tallies on the night, before the Stampeders forged to a 5-1 lead to wrap up the first frame. Scoring in the first period were Stang (2), Jared Kohlen, David Gore and Stuart Sasges. Williams Lake continued its dominance adding two unanswered markers in the second from Nathan Zurak and Dylan Richardson. Zurak potted his second of the game in the third to wrap up the scoring in the win. Justin Fulton lit the lamp for Quesnel’s only goal of the evening. Justin Foote made 18 saves to pickup the victory between the pipes for the Stamps, while Rich-

Powder Kings welcome new groomer for riding season Greg Sabatino Staff Writer A new grooming machine is expected to triple the speed the Williams Lake Powder Kings Snowmobile Club can maintain the trails at Yank’s Peak this season. The club recently purchased a 1995 240 Pisten Bully to replace its old groomer, a 1972 Bombardier Snow Dozer purchased in 2005. “What used to be 12 hours of really hard work will be eight hours if you’re just going casually,” WLPK director Rick Seibert said. “It’s pretty exciting for us — a huge step from where we were at.” Currently roughly six people help groom the trails at Yank’s Peak and all are looking forward to the literal change of pace. “John Mortenson, Dawn and Kevin Unruh, their commitment to grooming the past eight years is phenomenal,” WLPK president Mark Snowball said. “They did 99 per cent

Williams Lake AGING AND YOUR METABOLISM
Your metabolism does change as you get older but this is because most people stop moving which slows down your metabolism. Two things can affect your metabolism; genetics and lean muscle mass. The lean muscle mass is something that decreases as a result of decreased activities. If you don’t want your metabolism to slow down as you age then you need to increase your physical activity levels which increases your lean muscle mass.

Cariboo-Chilcotin PACs get gov’t support The B.C. government has provided $86,680 to Parent Advisory Councils (PACs) and the District Parent Advisory Committee (DPAC) in the Cariboo-Chilcotin School District to help support student activities outside of the classroom. Councils in Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, 108 Mile Ranch, Lone
Butte, Forest Grove, Lac La Hache, Anahim Lake and Bridge Lake are receiving grants. The funds will be used to enhance the student experience through extracurricular activities. These grants cover various costs, including sporting equipment, musical instruments, playground equipment and field
trips. The parent-run councils help ensure B.C.’s children have access to activities that ensure the development of a well-rounded educational background. Overall, nearly $11.1 million has been delivered to more than 1,400 PACs and DPACs throughout B.C. for the 2015-16 school
year. The funding is through the provincial government’s community gaming grant programs. Local PACs receive $20 per student, while DPACs receive a flat rate of $2,500. The grant funds must remain under the management and control of those who receive them. Funds cannot be
used for, or transferred to, curricular purposes or to schools or school districts or their activities or programs. The provincial government distributes $135 million annually in community gaming grants to benefit more than 5,000 local organizations representing virtually every community in the province.

Dick met his cherished wife, Ruth, when he was on leave from the air force in 1944. One dance with her and he knew he’d met his match and his helpmeet for life. Later, while working on the ranch, Dick felt a call from God. He got down from the tractor, and knelt in the mud to pray. He moved his family to Saskatoon, where he studied theology. As an Anglican minister, he shared his deep devotion with parishes in Stettler, Williams Lake, Campbell River, Mayne Island, and Maple Ridge. Ruth shared his faith, his burdens, and his joy throughout. A lifelong learner and voracious reader, Dick was a gifted storyteller, with a memory that stretched from cradle to grave. Until his 95th year, he wrote down his stories, many on his blog, and gave them as gifts (and lessons) to inspire us. He was happiest when he could combine his favourite hobbies: carpentry, Shaklee, and helping people. Dick was a gift to his children Joy Midtdal (Sid), Rob (Wendy Cole), Gail (Doug Baker) and Tim (Elaine), grandchildren Graham, Brendan, Emery, Rafferty, CJ, Rachel, Robin, Liam, Derick, Elliott, Tess and Nathan, great-grandsons Scott and Brody, and nieces and nephews. His friends, family and colleagues all around the world have been enriched by knowing Dick, and he treasured each one. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you give a little extra of your time, talents or dollars to someone or an organization that needs your help, in memory of Dick. Memorial Service Nov. 6, 2015, Rt Rev Melissa Skelton, Bishop of New Westminster officiating. St George’s Church, 23500 Dewdney Trunk Road, Maple Ridge, BC. 11:00 am, refreshments to follow.

We/I, Mark Blezard, Atlantic Power Preferred Equity Ltd., 4455 Mackenzie Avenue North, Williams Lake, BC, V2G 5E8, intend to submit this amendment application to the Director to amend Permit 8808, issued February 20, 1991 and last amended November 20, 2012 which authorizes the discharge of air contaminants, from an electrical power generating plant. The land upon which the facility is situated and the discharge occurs is Lot B of District Lot 72, Cariboo District Plan PGP35292 (Parcel Identifier: 017-247-276) located at 4455 Mackenzie Avenue North, Williams Lake, BC, V2G 4R7, within the Williams Lake airshed. The amendment requests that the following conditions be changed as outlined below: 1. Remove the section allowing discharges from the ash silo vent. This system is now fully enclosed. 2. Raise the limit on waste rail ties as a proportion of the authorized fuel from the current 5% to 50%. 3. Expand the provision to burn non-hazardous wood waste. 4. Remove the requirement that continuous emission monitors be maintained and audited in accordance with EPS 1/PG/7 as these protocols were designed for fossil fuel burning systems. Any person who may be adversely affected by the proposed amendment and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 30 days after the last date of posting, publishing, service or display, send written comments to the applicant, with a copy to the Director, Environmental Protection at 400-640 Borland Street, Williams Lake, BC, V2G 2T1 or via email to the Director, Environmental Protection authorizations.north@gov.bc.ca and referencing the applicant name, the location, and the authorization number PA-8808 in the subject line. The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in relation to this application will become part of the public record. Dated this 8th day of October, 2015.
