Open house on fluoride Thursday

Courtney Taylor Photo

As Halloween draws closer its time to pick your pumpkin: Nine month old Xander Harrison sits with his pumpkin at the Pumpkin Patch out at Thyme for Tea in 150 Mile House over the weekend.

Residents are invited to an open house tomorrow evening to get more information on whether they want fluoride added to the city's drinking water.

The information session, hosted by the City's Water Committee, will take place Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. and offer opinions both for and against the use of fluoride in drinking water, including the views of Dr. James Beck, author of The Case Against Fluoride who is being brought in by the City.

The question of whether fluoride should be added to

our drinking water will be asked in a referendum on election day, Nov. 19.

The issue has been a hot one in recent weeks, with mayoral candidates pointing out that the city in fact has not been adding fluoride into the drinking water for the past several years due to mechanical difficulties. It has been suggested the city staff has been misleading in the information put out on the issue.

City staff cited an increased cost as one of the main reasons for wanting to stop injecting fluoride.

Halloween fun this weekend in the Cariboo Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor Whether you have a car full of kids or just yourself and a date, there is a Halloween party this weekend to suit your needs.

For the kids this weekend there are few different choices, one being at the Boys and Girls Club and the other being hosted at Scout Island.

The Halloween fun starts Friday, Oct. 28 at the Boys and

Girls Club with a haunted house from 6 to 10 pm, and for the younger children there will be a slightly less scary version on Sunday, Oct. 30 from 6 to 10 p.m. The Boys and Girls club would appreciate food donations for admission.

Another option for the children is to join Mary Forbes and her Young Naturalists Club on Saturday, Oct. 29 from 4 p.m.

to 6 p.m. for an environmentally friendly Halloween Party.

That party will include prizes for the best costume, pumpkin carving and a costume parade around the island.

The Wildwood Fire Hall also puts on a spooktacular event over the Halloween weekend with their annual neighbourhood Halloween party and haunted house.

For a spooky night out for the adults the SPCA is putting on a Howl’s Eve Bash on Saturday from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. at the Long House and tickets are $15 each or $25 per couple.

Don’t forget on Monday, Halloween night, the Williams Lake Volunteer Fire Department will light up the city with their annual Halloween Bonfire and Fireworks display starting at 7:45

p.m.

Sponsored by Capital Power Corporation, TOLKO, Recreation Services and the Fire Department and Community Policing, the event will get underway with the bonfire at 7:15 p.m. followed by the fireworks at 7:45 p.m.

The Lions Club will also be on hand to provide a concession of hotdogs and hot chocolate.

Potential SD 27 trustees share their platforms and frustrations ous board, particularly from the Our Kids Our Future forums. She acknowledged that the changes facing the future board will be challenging but she’s ready to get started.

“Eventually you have to do something,” Austin said.

100 Mile House Zone 3 candidate Patricia Baker, who will be elected by acclamation and who sat on the previous board, cautioned that decisions on education cannot be made on budgets alone and that having the new trustees working as a team will be critical to its success.

“I think we’re going to see some exciting changes,” she said.

Zone 5 (Williams Lake fringe) candidate Oleh Lazarchuk said he believes the entire community needs to be involved in changes to education and wants to work with DPAC and PACs. “We need to listen to our parents,” said Lazarchuk.

Zone 5 candidate Sheila Boehm said she would offer out-of-thebox thinking and also a listening ear for parents.

“I want to be where the parents are,” Boehm said, noting she would advocate for an expansion of the trades programs and more options for female high school trades programs.

“I’m going to be honest, I’m pro-middle school. And I’d also like to see a long term plan developed,” Boehm said.

Jim Ritchie, also for Zone 5, said he has been retired after having spent 30 years working in the district as a teacher and principal. He sees the sheer size of the district and declining enrollment as two of the largest challenges facing the district.

Ritchie said he’d support district staff with a longterm plan and also support the expansion of the pre-apprentice programs.

When asked his position on reconfiguration in the lakecity, Ritchie said it would be easier to plan programs “if you put all your eggs in one basket.”

Zone 7 candidate Joyce Cooper said her rural communities need to know their trustee, particularly when the

communities are so far apart physically. And they also need a real voice.

“My biggest thing is that everyone is heard, whether you are First

Nations or non-First Nations.

Cooper said the toughest challenge facing her zone is the culture shock her students and their parents face

when they move from their rural communities to the urban setting of Williams Lake for high school.

She would like to see more supports and

services offered to those families.

The crowd at the forum was filled with a cross-section of concerned parents, teachers and politicians.

Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Future cutbacks, closures and possible high school reconfigurations were openly aired as inevitabilities during a School District 27 allcandidates forum held at TRU Monday evening.

About 40 people and all but two candidates, Richard Elliot for Zone 7 and Will VanOsch for Zone 1, were on hand to discuss the future of education in the district and the desire not to repeat mistakes of the past.

“Attendance is mandatory,” said Zone 6 (Williams Lake city) candidate Rob Zacharias of board meetings, who criticized current trustees for missing critical meetings which he felt stalled the ability of the board to make muchneeded decisions on cuts and long term planing.

“Nothing has been done, absolutely nothing. Changes have to be made.”

Zacharias noted declining enrollment is his biggest concern and said he would support district staff in coming up with longterm solutions.

Dr. Doug Neufeld, also a candidate for Zone 6, credited his lifelong love of learning to his own Grade 9 teacher and believes the education local students receive is second to none thanks to teachers. He said if elected he would bring rational thinking to decisions and the development of a longterm plan, “to commit to where we are going.”

Zone 4 (Horsefly, Likely, 150 Mile House) candidate and incumbant Heather Mackenzie is hoping for re-election.

During tough questioning Mackenzie admitted that her previous board did not make any longterm plans or cuts.

“At the end of the day, yes we could not decide,” Mackenzie said, noting the importance of keeping rural schools open.

“I know there will be some tough changes coming forward.”

Zone 4 challenger Jackie Austin said she has been involved at her children’s schools through the years and feels parent’s concerns and suggestions, hers included, have not been heard by the previ-

direction for our community, a ‘lets get it done’ positive attitude.

We need to create a positive investment climate to attract new opportunities and create more jobs in Williams Lake. We need to make Williams Lake the major shopping centre of the Cariboo.

WALT COBB: I have chosen to run for Mayor for a number of reasons but the main one is the financial state the last two Mayors have placed this community. We are upwards of $20 million in debt and according to the audited financial statements the interest alone for 2010 was $816,966.00.

We must find ways of controlling our spending while providing services.

creating over 200 jobs for our community was a key moment for Williams Lake. I was proud to be Mayor and to be part of a pro-active council team and staff that worked tirelessly on projects that produced results like the Walmart, Best Western hotel, affordability housing projects, expansions of senior village, acquisition of the lodge and many other key projects.

Williams Lake & District

WALT COBB: A couple of things come to mind that were certainly important for our city.

The first was that the final payment on our general revenue debt was made. The second was the two years spent developing a made in the Cariboo Land Use Plan that set goals for the greater community in how we should proceed with development, protected areas and wildlife habitat as well as all the other element of our environment.

Q: How would you tackle the growing youth gang issue in our community?

Kerry Cook: Besides the excellent work that has been done on the Youth Safety Committee, we have and will continue to collaborate with all community groups that work with these at-risk youth. Just as important, we will continue to work towards making

Williams Lake a place where young people are proud of their hometown. Youth that are meaningfully connected are less likely to feel the need to belong to something else. I think the creation of the bike park in Boitanio Park was an excellent example of this.

SCOTT NELSON: Youth gang violence is on a very serious rise in Williams Lake. We need to continue to identify youth who are at risk at a young age and create a positive environment for them utilizing intergraded street level intelligence and providing in partnership with the schools, First Nations, and Interior Heath, and RCMP anti-gang programs and youth support services.

WALT COBB: Many of the youth issues arise from the lack of the family unit. It seems that with both parents, in many cases, needing to be out in the workforce there is little time for parental guidance and family enhancement times. As our economy and jobless rates increase these problems can only worsen. We must work toward economic stability to ensure not only the parents but the youth have some hope for the future.

I also believe it may be time to re-think the Young Offenders Act. In many cases that law does not allow the parent or the authorities to deal successfully with youth.

When we tie the hands of the disciplinarians in our society we cannot expect things to change.

There is a huge lack of respect of any type of authority and very little consequences for wrong doers.

Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle On October 25 at approximately 09:40 hours, members of the Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services Unit noted a suspicious male enter a black 1995 Dodge pickup near the 108 Mile rest area.

Members checked the status of the vehicle and found it was flagged as stolen. Members pulled a marked police vehicle behind the Dodge that was parked against a dirt berm and activated the emergency lights. The vehicle started up and sprayed the Police car

CRD talk trash Residents and businesses in the Cariboo Chilcotin still have time to “talk trash” online this month.

Since the middle of September, CRD staff have been conducting open houses throughout the region to give residents a chance to learn more, and have their say, on future programs to improve rural recycling, composting and yard waste, wood waste management, illegal dumping as well as education programs.

Once all feedback has been gathered, it will be presented to the Solid Waste Advisory Committee and then to the CRD Board of Directors for consideration and adoption.

The feedback is being used to help guide decisions on what options to include in the Regional District’s Solid Waste Management Plan.

For more information, including the handout, open house display panels and online survey, simply visit www. cariboord.bc.ca, or call 250-392-3351 or 1-800665-1636 or email talktrash@cariboord.bc.ca The online survey will remain open until October 31st.

with rocks as it climbed the small berm. The vehicle left the rest area at a high rate of speed north bound on Highway 97.

Members activated the emergency equipment and continued in the direction of the Dodge pickup.

The spike belt was deployed just north of Lac La Hache and the Dodge pickup hit spike strips that were set up. The driver eventually stopped the vehicle and fled from police on foot.

Beware, Hallow’s Eve is upon us this weekend Whether or not you are one of those people who bring out the fake blood and gore and go all out for Hallow’s Eve, or are one who pretty much ignores its existence other than to hand out candy to the trick or treaters - Halloween is fast approaching.

Some people have spent the last month carefully deciding what they are going to dress up as for the day where you can be who ever you want to be, while many parents have been helping their children make or decide what to dress up as.

For others, October is just another month and October 31 is just another night and just maybe they’ll remember to turn a light on and buy some candy.

Of course they’re the in-betweeners, the ones who will decorate

and maybe even carve a jack’O lantern, but aren’t too extreme with the dressing up.

Whatever extreme you take, it may be interesting to know where the tradition of Halloween came from.

Halloween seems to have its origins from the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain.

The festival of Samhain was celebrated at the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and the ancient Gaels believed on October 31 the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and the deceased would come back to life and wreak havoc.

Frequently the festival would include bonfires, which in turn attracted bugs that brought bats and masks were worn in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or

appease them.

It is these traditions that were carried over to North America by Scottish and Irish immigrants in the Ninetieth century. However, it was not until the 1930’s where more modern Halloween traditions started popping up in recorded history.

Trick or Treating wasn’t popular in North America until the 1930’s and seems to have some resemblance to ‘souling’, which was a late Medieval practice.

On Hallowmas (Nov. 1), poor folk would go door to door asking for food in exchange for prayers for the dead on Soul’s Day (Nov 2).

The modern tradition of carving pumpkins first started as carving turnips. The turnips were carved into lanterns in a way of remembering souls held in purgatory, but

when the Scottish and Irish immigrants moved to North America they started using the native pumpkins since they were larger.

Even though the traditions of Halloween can be traced back for centuries, it was not until the middle of the Twentieth century that the more modern Halloween traditions started showing up and Halloween is what we now know it as: a day to dress up and go trick or treating and carve a pumpkin.

Halloween has all this history, but many people use the day simply as an excuse to dress up and escape reality and what’s wrong with that? Like many other holidays though, the holiday has been commercialized and the true origins of the day lost in candy, costumes and pumpkins.

Order up another trustee Williams Lake needs another School Board trustee.

Come on, let’s be honest. When it comes time for the crunch, which it will come soon, the Williams Lake area is seriously under represented.

Where is the democracy?

At Monday evening’s All Candidate forum for School District trustees, it was obvious that we have intelligent and caring candidates vying for both the Williams Lake City and Williams Lake Fringe zones. What a shame we only get to choose two people to

represent us when in reality we should have at least three trustee positions for the size of our area and number of students.

For example, a trustee representing 108 Mile has the same voting power as all of Williams Lake, elementary and high schools

included.

Yes, they say they all work together nicely for the betterment of everyone in the district.

But if that were true, why was the board deadlocked on making cuts or long term plans for the past three years?

One of the many things to do out at the pumpkin patch out in 150 Mile House this past weekend was to guess the weight of this enourous pumpking, Chelsea lewis, 7, Sienne McCavills,5, and Grace Elgert,5, enjoy some hot chocolate while taking a look.

Fraser hopes for like-minded and like-bodied fellow racer 22 days until race day and only 7 days until we leave. I was talking to a friend of mine, a videographer named Paul Luft. I was sharing the Baja story with Paul because I thought he might be interested in what we are doing. I told Paul were are racing the Baja 1000 and why, what our three goals are.

Paul, like many people, myself included does not know a lot about the Baja 1000. As we were talking he asked

Baja or Bust

with Kane Fraser

me how many disabled people will be going in the race this year and I said, ‘well I only know of one, me.’ I told him

that in the past a team of four Israeli paraplegic’s tried the Baja 1000 and today I was looking on the Internet and a guy named Ricky James, a paraplegic road 120 miles in the 2007 Baja 500 as part of a motorcycle team.

That is right, a paraplegic rode motorcycle for part of the race.

The number of people that actually challenge the race are few, in comparison to the number of people in North America, and

even to the number who off road race. There will very likely, without a doubt other racers from British Columbia, Canada, United States, Mexico, and of course other countries and other continents. As I told Paul this and he looked at me and said, ‘so you could be the only disabled person in the race from the World.’ I responded with a yes, but had never really thought of it that way before, Paul, in a nonchalantly man-

ner then said, ‘well that elevates it to a whole different level.’ It may, it may not.

The common theme between the Israeli team and Ricky James is that they raced competitively pre-injury, and in the case of the Israeli team they had a special class for competition.

I think this great and shows that just because your life has changed does not mean that you cannot continue to do the things you did before the injury. A

lesson for all of us I am sure. It also shows that I am not the only disabled person with crazy ideas.

One more thing, breaking news, I just found out today that apparently another paraplegic from Italy may be in the race.

That is awesome, who would have thought, such a big world, but you know what they say you buy a red corvette and then look around and everyone has red corvette. I can’t wait to

meet this person. I will be sure to let you know all about it and even stranger, I think we are racing in the same class.

This must be a first.

If there is another disabled racer there that will put a great big smile on my face.

So for any of you out there that don’t think you can do something, or perhaps know a disabled person with that mind set, tell them about us. If we can do it anyone can.

Live the dream.

Upcoming election full of hot topics Mayor Kerry Cook, and Council okayed an expenditure of about $33,000-thousand dollars or so, to come up with a ‘no’ campaign on the Fluoride issue.

(I would have done that for $500.)

Council and senior staff don’t want us to say yes on the Fluoride referendum, so they can get rid of this misadventure and not have to mislead citizens any longer. The referendum question asks if we want to continue with fluoridation?

There will be a public information forum on fluoridation this Thursday Oct 27th at the fire hall from 5-8

Crime continues to fall in the city, due to the efforts of the RCMP and its community partners, supported by City Council and volunteers.

Compared to the same period in 2010, Theft of auto over $5,000 is down from 10 to 5, or 50%. This is down from 53 in 2008, or a 91% drop.

Theft of auto under $5,000 is down from 18 to 2, or 89%. This is

pm.

We haven’t been using the water additive for some years now, so how can this council say they are open and communicative when they were not telling the truth on this one?

This council also hired a firm to tell us

how we should be doing economic development in Williams Lake... another $25,000 or so, down the drain. It was only a few years before this council took office, that there was another firm of experts, hired to tell us what we need to do economically to bring in more bucks to Williams Lake.

I think the people council brought on board from the community are pretty good folks but how are they supposed to come up with a solution in three weeks when council has not done been able to do anything in three years.

Councillor Surinderpal

Rathor echoed these remarks as well, when he voted not to have the Mayor on the City’s Business Expansion and Attraction Strategy Task Force, committee.

There are a number of potential Williams Lake Councillors who do not live in the City.

If they get elected what is stopping them for voting in a big tax increase when they will not have to live with the consequences? This is one of the questions being contemplated in our community as we approach Civic Election Day on Nov 19th. Anyone can run for a seat on

Williams Lake City Council, even someone from Quesnel, or Vancouver.

Maybe we should Production Manager ProductionProduction Manager Manager only allow those who live within the boundaries of the community to run for election?

I hope you exercise your democratic right and get out to cast your vote this Civic Election.

It adopted a bylaw to help reduce the number of false alarms in the city, which diverts RCMP resources away from other priorities, and adopted a victim impact statement to be presented at sentencings for drug offences.

Council has also passed a bylaw to address nuisance complaints related to properties.

CUSTOM MEAT CUTTING

COME OUT FOR A DAY OR A WEEKEND STAY!

It has been a fabulous fall! The leaves are almost all gone off the trees , and the cold mornings are upon us.

October has been busy with people getting there winter wood ready, and lots of the seasonal residents saying goodbye until spring.

The Anvil Pub had two great events this past month they had The Little Horsefly Country Band, that drew such a crowd we had to have a doorman! Fun was had by all, people even came from Prince George to listen to them play. Myself and my staff certainly hope that they will come again sometime, and entertain us all!

Following that event The Pub had their 2nd Oktoberfest, lots of prizes and great dancing tunes by Brooke, as well as the amazing food cooked by our local chef Beth Marsh (thank you again my friend)! I was told the food was even better than last year, and speaking of the food, we got the Bratwurst and Meatloaf from Laffers’ Custom Meats, and that brings me to telling you on how Sylvia and Franz ended up here in Horsefly. Sylvia and Franz were married in 1982 in Switzerland, they had a meat shop and Deli there. In 1993 they moved to Horsefly with their four children, Ramona, Lukas, Selina and Florian. They choose Horsefly as they had some relatives that owned some property at Little Horsefly. They lived in two other places before buying the Sunshine Ranch in 1994. Sylvia and Franz brought along there meat equipment when they came from Switzerland, and this was great, as there has always been a lot of European people in our community, they started selling sausages, until they got so busy they decided to build their meat shop in 1996, and have been running an amazing business. Sylvia and Franz employ a great fellow Adrian Rusteholz, he is also from Switzerland and came from a line of butchers. Both of his parents are butchers as well! He has been working with Sylvia for two years now. So when you drop off your game or come and pick up your order you will get to see one of them at the shop. Sylvia also has another passion, that so reminds me of a special lady dear to my heart my granny! She has a green thumb for gardening and if you want to see beautiful baskets and flowers this is the place to see them. When their daughter got married this past summer they

Curves celebrates getting bigger Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor The last thing you want hear when you’re working hard at working out is that you’ve doubled in size! But Curves owner Sue Benton says she couldn’t be happier about it.

“This is our third location, and we’ve doubled the size,” says Benton, who has been a personal trainer and nutritionist for the last 25 years, but always part time until she took over the local Curves business.

“I never thought it was going to be my main career in life,” says Benton.

Benton is originally from Kamloops and has been working at Curves in town for the last 10 years, and has owned the business for the past five.

Submitted Photo

Many of the Curves members have been activily going to Curves since the begining, pictured are some of these members who have reached 1000 workouts.

“I fell in love with Curves and the curves program,” says Benton.

“And I fell in love with Williams Lake.”

When Curves first opened in Williams Lake in 2001 it was a small location on Second Avenue with only 1,000 square feet of space. Four years later Benton added

400 square feet at their Third Avenue location, and three years ago moved again into their current home on Oliver Street and have 2,400 square feet of space.

Benton says although Curves has changed considerably over the last 10 years, and the 10 years before that, they have always

stuck to the 30-minute workout.

“Curves actually gives you all five components of your workout in 30-minutes,” says Benton. “You can burn up to 500 calories.”

Benton says she has had a few different promotions going on in support of breast cancer awareness this month, one being the sign up fee waived with proof of mammogram or donation to breast cancer research.

To combine the gym’s 10-year celebration and breast cancer awareness, Benton is having two events this weekend. The first is on Friday night, and the second is Saturday, and according to her it a ‘pink day’ with pink cupcakes and pink tea being served.

Local Youth Group: Hobos for a Night Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor A group of local teens braved the chilly October night with only a couple blankets, sleeping bags and tarps overhead to keep them warm and dry last Friday in order to find a deeper appreciation for all that they have and that oth-

ers do not.

It all started with an idea, an idea that fifteen-year-old Demish Nand came up with around Thanksgiving and resulted in a group of teenagers wandering around downtown and sleeping in the baseball field by their church.

“I was trying to think The teens stayed warm with a propane fueled fire one of them brought as one of their three items during the Friday night as they stayed outside as 'hobos for a night'. of a way, or an idea or something we could do so we could learn to be thankful for everything that we do have,” said Nand.

Nand is a member of the youth group at the St. John Lutheran church and along with the rest of the group and a little guidance from some parents, their night as a hobo was planned.

“I thought if we became homeless, we would see all the things we have and how blessed we are,” said Nand.

They set up a tarp as a tent and huddled overnight to make sure they were all as warm as they could be.

The youth managed to collect enough cans and change throughout the afternoon to buy a pizza from Dominos for everyone during their afternoon walk and Dominos even sent a

second for free when they heard what they were doing, but that didn’t stop the midnight munchies from happening.

“There wasn’t any complaining from the kids, except when midnight came around and they were hungry,” said MaureenWelke who is the youth director.

But they managed to survive the night and were rewarded with breakfast.

They teens say they have come away with more empathy for people who are homeless, and that is exactly what Welke was hoping for.

“I wanted to them to be able to look at (homeless people) with a more Godly love, nonjudgmental and nonquestioning love,” said Welke. “To have more empathy not sympathy.”

Xeni Gwet’in Chief honoured with Rogers Environmental Award The Wilderness Committee honoured Chief Marilyn Baptiste of Xeni Gwet’in recently with the 2011 Eugene Rogers Environmental Award.

The award has been

given out once a year since 1992 to a person who has made an outstanding contribution to environmental protection and comes with a $1,000 prize.

Throughout 2010,

Chief Baptiste was well known as a spirited speaker who traveled the province on behalf of the Tsilhqot’in Nation to explain the importance of Teztan Bay (known as Fish Lake).

Fish Lake would have been turned into a toxic tailings pond had the Taseko Mine project “Prosperity’ gone through according to the Wilderness Committee.

In Nov. 2010, the Federal Government turned down the project, citing unacceptable environmental impacts.

Joe Alphonse and several First Nations leaders just returned from

lobbying in Ottawa on behalf of stopping the New Prosperity project.

Business owners are also anxiously awaiting the decision, hopeful for economic growth in the region.

The decision is expected from the federal Environmental Assessment Agency on November 7 on whether the New Prosperity Project will get the go ahead.

Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor Thanks to the Cariboo Regional District’s Big Tree Hunt contest, two rural elementary schools won prize money and learned a lot along the way in their search for the biggest tree.

During National Forest Week, the CRD hosted the Big Tree Hunt from September 18 to 30t with the region’s elementary school, and this past week the winners were announced.

The tallest tree in the Chilcotin was found by Alexis Creek Elementary students, and was a 27.43-metre high Douglas fir.

Big Lake Elementary students found the tallest tree in the central Cariboo when they discovered a towering 53.3-metre high Douglas fir with a circumference of 5.6 metres.

Both schools won $250 to go towards a school or community project from the CRD’s Forest Capital of Canada Committee.

Both principals of the schools said the activity created a fun learning experience for the students.

some teaching and learning outside of the confines of the school,” said Alexis Creek principal, Calvin Dubray.

The students at Big Creek also had a lot of fun getting outdoors, according to principal Judy Vanderzwan.

She said Mrs. Benisch took her Grades 4-7 students outside to measure the shadows of the basketball net and other things around the school yard to compare the lengths to their shadows.

“It was a fun activity (for students) to learn how to use ratios,” said Vanderzwan Both schools used ratios, comparing the length of their shadows to the shadows of the tree, to find out how tall the trees were they found.

“The students learned to measure the actual height of a tree through using shadow length ratios,” said Dubray. “They first measured their own shadows and then the shadow length of the tree and compared the two using ratios.”

The two schools have chosen two different things to do with their prize money.

Alexis Creek Elementary will use the money to purchase a range finder for their science department while Big Creek Elementary will put the money to use in the spring. They plan on purchasing seeds, shrubs and hardy vines to accentuate the historic buildings and walking trails around the Big Lake Community Heritage site. The seeds will be used in the school’s flower and vegetable garden.

The Cariboo Regional District is currently celebrating its final year as the 2010-2011 Forest Capital of Canada.

The goal of the CRD’s Forest Capital of Canada program is to foster regional partnerships through celebration and community support for our forest industry.

Scott commits that taxes will be rolled back to 0% for three years.

Over the last ten years Williams Lake residents and business under the city have made key long-term strategic investments into infrastructure like the South Lakeside access for Walmart and the new 75,000 square foot development, or the infrastructure updates by the Tourism Centre, the new Best Western Hotel and the Seniors Village.

Projects like these are starting to produce new and significant tax revenues and jobs. For example, Walmart pays $328,056 in taxes each year and has created over 200 new jobs in Williams Lake. It’s Williams Lake’s turn to capitalize on these key investments.

A tax roll back to 0% over three years is part of the community investment strategy.

College Heights made it to the bronze medal game by win-

ning in a shoot-out against Columneetza Secondary Seniors on Monday afternoon.

C.S.S started the tournament on a rough note as they played Duchess Park from Prince George on Sunday afternoon,

in what referee Mike Grace called a ‘close game’ that could have gone either way. The Cougars just didn’t get the ball in the net according to Grace.

And the rest of their games were played hard, but the breaks

didn’t go their way and they ended up in sixth place.

Williams Lake Secondary played what their coach called their best game of the season on Monday morning against Burns Lake, winning 4-0. They

then played DP Todd from Prince George on Monday afternoon and lost a close game 2-1.

They played Duchess Park Tuesday morning and lost sending them to the bronze medal game against College Heights.

DP Todd and Duchess Park made it to the final game at 1 p.m on Tuesday afternoon, and in a tense game with two five minute overtime periods DP Todd came away victorious in a 2-1 outcome to win the gold medal.

Kangaroo’s dominate Stamps Kangaroo’s dominate Stamps Saturday night The Stamps fell to the visiting Quesnel Kangaroos 8-4 at home last Saturday night much to the chagrin of the hometown fans.

With enough physical action to satisfy a boxing fan, Saturday night’s game wasn’t played well defensively for the Stamps and quickly they fell behind the visiting ‘Roo’s and never caught up.

Quesnel now sit with a 5-0 record, while the Stamps drop to a 3-2 record. The Kangaroo’s are first in the division followed by the Stamps.

Chrys Mills, the facilitator, encourages people to come and learn from Leslie Sansone how to ‘walk like a runner’ in this exhilarating multimuscle cardio and fat blasting walk at this weekly group video fitness event.

“I experienced this amazing program this summer at a camping event and knew that I needed to share it with my community this fall,” says Mills.

She says its a classic, no frills, easy to follow Walk At Home Fitness Program where you can walk one to five miles and never leave your house (except once a week when you join the group).

Mills is a registered nurse who currently is managing the Atwood Clinic here in Williams Lake. She encourages everyone to come and create their own personal workout plan that can be done at their own pace. This simple event is so effective it will crank up your metabolism and enables you to take on your busy day with enthusiasm. So come, put a smile on your face and have a blast with this ultimate, heart pumping, high-energy experience.

Downtown Service fills a market niche Downtown Service is not only Williams Lake’s cleanest auto shop according to clients, but is the city’s only dealer of utility trailers according to owner Rick Giesbrecht.

“We filled a market niche that has been empty in Williams Lake this year,” says Giesbrecht. “ We started in April of this year and brought in a variety of trailers to suit (customer’s) needs.”

Giesbrecht says they carry Cargomate, Big Text, US Cargo, and PJ trailers and have a small selection on site, but can bring in almost any trailer the customer needs.

“If we don’t have what you want, I can probably get it,” says Giesbrecht.

Of course besides the added service of providing utility trailers, Downtown is also a full auto repair shop, with four licensed technicians, a service technician and is open six days a week.

Downtown has

Giesbrecht say the shop is all about making it easy for the clients and emergency service is available, but appointments are always encouraged.

Whether it is for your automotive needs or your need for a utility trailer, go visit Giesbrecht and his staff at Downtown Services today.

A full house for Forks Over Knives Submitted Cameron Johnson Last week at TRU there was a full house with over 150 people attending the debut showing of the worldclass movie Forks Over Knives in Williams Lake. In fact we had to turn away a number of people because the room was full to capacity. Because of the tremendous community response we are planning on a second showing November 9.

“We especially want to thank our many sponsors,” says Rita Corbet, another of the organizers. “We would not have been able to do this without their help. The complete list of sponsors is on our website.

As a nation, we tend to be overfed and undernourished. This movie is a good jumpstart to better food choices that will improve health and longevity,” she continues.

Both Johnston and Corbet emphasize that, “This is only the beginning of a new emphasis

bringing in world class health promotion events that will be a major benefit to the Williams Lake community. The upcoming monthly, Vegetarian Supper Club beginning in November at the Cariboo Lifestyle Centre is a good example, watch for details coming soon.”

This new documentary explores the idea that the majority of the degenerative diseases, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc. that are plaguing Canadians can be avoided, or even reversed by simple lifestyle changes. It examines the science that

choosing the right foods is cheaper and better that going under the knife—thus the name Forks Over Knives.

Watch for more info on the date of the second showing, Wed., Nov. 9 at 7 PM at the TRU Cafeteria. This outstanding film was sponsored as a FREE community service

by Adventist Health, Thompson Rivers University and a number of local community sponsors. For full info on second showing and a full list of sponsors visit this website: www. silverhillsontheroad. com/forks

Car care for everyone Craig W. Armstrong Many men and women who aren’t professional auto mechanics feel at ease under the hood. They can tell a gasket from a bushing and piston from a spark plug. Some of us, on the other hand, have no idea what lurks under the

hood of a car. It’s a dark, dirty, greasy and confusing place. It contains lots of wire, twisted metal, rubber doohickeys and plastic thingamabobs.

running.

Let’s start at the bottom...the tires. One thing we can do is make sure that the tires are properly inflated. Underinflation can damage a tire through uneven wear and lower gas mileage.

Checking tire pressure is very simple. First, you need a pressure gauge.

Most gauges today are digital, which makes it even easier to read.

Either in your owner’s manual or on the tire itself, you will find the recommended maximum tire pressure (psi).

Psi is a measurement of pressure that stands for pounds per square inch.

Start by unscrewing the cap on the tire’s valve and pushing on your gauge. This will give you a psi reading. If the number is below the recommended psi, just add air until it reaches that number. Most likely, you will need to add air, check the pressure and so on.

Checking the car’s oil is another thing you can do yourself. Keeping an

eye on the oil level is very important. It has been said that oil is a car’s lifeblood. To an extent this is true. Oil keeps the engine lubricated and running smoothly.

Checking the oil level is easy.

Open the hood and find the dipstick.

You may need to look around, but it should be pretty clearly marked.

Pull out the dipstick, which is basically a long thin, flat piece of metal.

Once you have it out, wipe it off completely and stick it back in.

Now, pull it out again and read it. You should see markings on it that show a high point and a low point. There might also be an area that is marked where the level should be. If you see the oil on the stick between the high and low levels, your oil is fine. If the level is above the high or below the low, you need someone to either add oil or find out why you have too much.

Another very important fluid in your car is coolant. The coolant tank is usually on one side of the engine or the other. It is usually a white plastic semi-transparent container. If you look on the side of the container, you will see markings indicating high and low.

If the level is between the two, your coolant level is good. Never take the radiator cap off to check the coolant level.

Doing this while the coolant system is still hot can cause pressure to be released and you can be burned.

Another thing novices like us can check are the belts? In the front of the engine, you will see several rubber belts looped around pulleys.

These drive such things are your car’s alternator.

They are normally made out of rubber, so they wear out easily. Check them out...are they frayed or torn? If so, have them replace by a professional.

Keep in mind doing more than you’re comfortable with can cause damage to your car and in some cases to you.

Q&A Ask an expert

Keep indoor air fresh this winter (NC)—Winter months bring everyone indoors and the cold temperatures outside make air exchange difficult when you don’t want to open the windows.

With reduced fresh air circulation, moisture and pollutants can be trapped inside your home, which is especially irritating for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. Improve the indoor air quality and manage moisture in your home this winter by addressing these common problems.

Have a plan to manage moisture: Indoor moisture can accumulate in the winter months, causing

cooking with a gas range or oven.

• Limit the use of humidifiers and set up a dehumidifier in damp areas inside the home, especially the basement.

Install insulation that reduces airborne moisture: Quality insulation can help regulate temperature, moisture and overall health by preventing mould growth in the home. Installing an insulation or air barmould to form. If your home has common signs of moisture problems, such as a musty smell, condensation on windows, white powdery stains on concrete floors and discolouration on

walls, ceilings or floors, consider the following action: • Use proper ventilation, such as a fan vented to the outdoors or opening a window, when showering or

rier product like Icynene can contribute to better indoor air quality by creating a complete air-seal minimizing airborne moisture. Look for an insulation that: • Doesn’t off-gas into the indoor environment and is HFC-free and PBDE-free; • Minimizes the entry of outdoor allergens and pollutants into your home; • Is not a food source for mould.

Reduce use of indoor pollutants: Indoor air pollutants that may not bother you in the warmer months can accumulate in the winter and deplete air quality. Decrease pollutants in the home by: • Limiting sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in common household products, such as cleansers and paint.

• Opt for products in spray bottles rather

than aerosols, as aerosols produce a finer mist that is easily inhaled.

You can learn more about the role insulation can play in improving indoor air quality online at www.icynene.com.

Easy and tasty fillet of sole recipe that is sure to delight This weekend I am once again doing the Chamber of Commerce Dinner that was auctioned at the Business Excellence Awards evening early this year. I am cooking the dinner for Jay Chappell from the Toyota dealership in town...more next week.

When I first started cooking meals that were auctioned off to the public, I wanted to cook something that was easy and also tasty.

The first time I auctioned off a gourmet dinner for six, it was on radio in 100 Mile. The idea was to raise money for a service club, so we did the auction live

on air for the 100 Mile house Lions Club.

I think we made four or five hundred dollars for the Lions that evening and a fundraiser idea for this little guy was born.

I have been doing this now for over twenty years, with most of the money in Williams Lake, going

to the Chamber of Commerce. It has been a lot of fun, and much thanks to Save-On Foods for providing the good food for many of these dinners.

I always liked to try recipes that most often don’t find there way into regular dinner meals at home.

I cooked this fish dish for one dinner in 100 Mile and have been using the recipe ever since. It is quick and quite tasty.

Sole Almandine 4 sole fillets (about 1 pound) 5 Tablespoons butter 1 Tablespoon olive oil All purpose flour

2 eggs, beaten ¼ cup toasted slivered almonds ¼ cup dry white wine 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice Melt 4 tablespoons butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over med-high heat.

Dip the fillets in flour, then in the beaten eggs. Place the fillets in the hot skillet and cook until browned and just cooked through – about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer cooked fillets to a serving platter; and cover to keep warm.

Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet, scraping up remain-

Help if you can, but more than likely it will be sufficient just to listen. Your diplomacy will be of utmost importance this week. Be careful disclosing information.

Do your own research and be prepared. Your lucky day this week will be Tuesday.

ing browned bits of flour mixture. Add the almonds and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Add wine and lemon juice, then simmer until slightly thickened, stirring constantly. Pour over fish and serve immediately.

I have made this dish were I use some small shrimp as part of the topping for the Sole.

Try some gourmet dishes at home, it’s a great way to cook nice food and to find out how easy the fancy stuff is to cook right at home.

Bye for now and Goood Cooking.

Be cautious while traveling to foreign countries. Focus your efforts on details, and keep to yourself in order to finish your work. You can make financial gains through investments and dealing with other people’s money. Do not overspend on entertainment. You could find that children will be a handful. Your lucky day this week will be Wednesday.

Unexpected changes in friendships could occur. Don’t forget to read the fine print. Talk to someone with experience about budgets or consolidating debts. You can make moves, but they won’t be settling. Your lucky day this week will be Wednesday.

Get busy doing all those things at home that you have been putting off for so long. Get on with business.

Drastic financial losses may be likely if you lend money. Be prepared to make changes to your personal documents. Your lucky day this week will be Sunday.

Your boss may be on the rampage and you certainly don’t want to be the one to take the brunt of a bad situation. You could lose a good friend because of it. You will have to be sure not to burn the candle at both ends.

You might find added popularity with those around you this week. Your lucky day this week will be Thursday.

Trips will be exciting. Don’t be too quick to judge. Make sure that you have covered yourself legally and try not to let your temper get out of hand. Take things slowly, especially for the sake of those you love. Your lucky day this week will be Sunday.

You may be somewhat emotional concerning a rather private matter. Talk about your intentions and confirm that you both feel the same way. Passion is about the best way for you to relieve tension. You should put a little extra effort in at work. Your lucky day this week will be Tuesday.
