reconfiguration of schools hot ELECTION TOPIC Angie Mindus Photo

Williams Lake Senior Secondary, a beautiful and modern facility seen here yesterday, may be one of the most controversial topics of the School District 27 election this November. The current school board, which will see new faces following the election November 19, could not decide in their last term how or if Williams Lake high schools should be reconfigured, however empty seats and tight budgets are sure to press the issue this school year. Currently Williams Lake runs two separate high schools, Grades 8 - 12, and some teachers have voiced their opposition to having a middle school. Yesterday (October 4) was the first day the district office could receive nomination packages for the upcoming trustee election.

RODIER: Retires

Challenges await new school trustees Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor School District 27 is losing a top trustee this year, one with 34 years of teaching experience and three terms served as a trustee and Board chairman at a time when his expertise could be put to test the most.

sessions such as ‘Our Kids, Our Futures’ and emotional public consultations on potential school closures. However, Rodier acknowledges the new board, to be elected November 19, may face the biggest challenges yet as student enrolment drops and budgets tighten.

“The biggest challenge is going to be the budget,” Rodier said,

explaining that the current board essentially bought themselves a year’s reprieve last year when they used up rainy day funds to save what they saw as critical programs, such as Reading Recovery, the rural secondary program (In which teachers teach Grade 8 to 10

NEWS BRIEFS Accusations of assault in police incident Williams Lake was in the national spotlight last week after an allegation was made that the RCMP assaulted a teenaged girl during a call for service in the city.

An independent police investigation is being conducted by the Abbotsford police into the incident alleged to have occurred September 10th, 2011 involving a 17-year-old female and Williams Lake RCMP members.

An RCMP media release states the police will investigate both the allegation that the teen was assaulted by police, as well as the allegation that the teen assaulted a police officer.

“We’re happy an outside agency is looking into this matter because it shows transparency,” said Sgt. Rick Lebeuf, Operations Support NCO for the detachment.

“It has to be unbiased, it has to be transparent for an allegation as serious as this.”

Breaking ground today at Prosperity Way Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor The Williams Lake Mayor and Council have been invited to take part in a ground breaking ceremony on Prosperity Way (adjacent to Walmart) today with representatives from real estate development company Platform Properties.

Platform Properties principal Kyle Shury said he won’t be announcing just yet who is going to be filling the new buildings being constructed on the site, however he did say the first building

to be constructed will be 10,000 square feet and house six to seven retailers.

“We are comfortable with our leasing efforts to date to proceed with construction,” said Shury yesterday, noting that he has deals pending for roughly three quarters of the first building.

Shury said the general contract has been awarded to Spruce Lee Construction while the civil works contract has been awarded to Lake Excavating, both local companies.

Shury expects to start a second, 10,000 squarefoot building which is expected to house one tenant, sometime in the New Year. A third, 5,000 square-foot building is also in the works for a later date.

Shury said his company was drawn to the Williams Lake investment due to the “great business opportunity” it presented. He said Platform Properties has had a previous positive experience in Williams Lake with ownership of the Save-On Foods and the B.C. Liquor Store in

the past.

“We were treated well the first time (doing business in Williams Lake),” Shury said, adding that being neighbours to Walmart also helps.

“It’s always a great opportunity to own real estate next to one of the world’s largest retailers.”

Shury said he expects to turn the space over to retailers in the first building April 1, with stores likely opening by June 1, 2012.

Representatives from Platform will be on-site today for the ground

City officials network at UBCM Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor Mayor Cook and councilors are fresh back from networking with the Premier at the annual Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver that wrapped up Friday.

“It was absolutely fantastic,” said Cook. “It was a great opportunity to connect with ministers and the Premier.

UBCM convention is a change for BC municipalities to network with Premier Clark and the Ministers through meetings, workshops, and Mayor roundtables.

Cook said she personally met with Premier Clark four times, and said she really got the attention of the Premier, and many of the Ministers she met with.

“Premier Clark even mentioned us in her closing message,” said Cook.

As well as meetings with the Premier and Ministers, Cook said they had an amazing meeting with acting Attorney General, Shirley Bond.

“This will be an opportunity for us to invite the mayor and council to our ground breaking event and

introduce them to the upcoming development of the property” he said.

“We’re pleased to be breaking ground.”

Mayor Cook and council members networked with Premier Clark last week at the UBCM convention.

The meeting with Bond centered around the need for provincial support for a Crime Analyst position in Williams Lake and the need for a new funding formula for police-based Victim Services that better reflects the high case loads of the police and the courts in Williams Lake.

Mayor Cook gave a presentation in a workshop about strategies the help make communities safer, and afterwards was approached

lery will be the mountain inspired paintings

by Crystalynn Tarr from Prince George, along with Shannon Williamson whose paintings will be in the Upper Gallery.

Tarr’s showcase is titled, ‘ My Heart, My Land’ and was inspired by the mountains she’s lived in, hiked, and drove through over the years.

“I have enjoyed the process of learning to express how I felt in (the mountains) and the connection to God that I feel when I am in (the mountains),” said Tarr.

Tarr has been dabbling in art for most her life, but truly painting for the past two to three years.

‘I have had a love of art my whole life and been fascinated by both art and the natural world,” said Tarr. “I think my journey into art is best expressed as a merging of the two.”

Tarr lives in Prince George and works for the Community Arts Council of Prince George and District.

Tarr is sharing her time at the Station House Gallery with Shannon Williamson, and she says she is excited to meet her and see

“I’m excited that our journeys through land, time, thoughts, dreams, struggles and successes will be displayed together, and that our paths will meet,” said Tarr.

S h a n n o n Williamson’s show is titled ‘A Pilgrim’s Progress,’ and she is making the journey back to the lakecity from Calgary for the show.

“I am proud to be born and raised (in Williams Lake), and I returned often,” said Williamson.

‘A Pilgrim’s Progress’ is about how everyone is going somewhere, and whether we move forward onto the road of least resistance or back sliding into the ruts of the past: we are always moving, according to Williamson.

“The Pilgrim’s Process is a chronicle of

the life of a Christian, who on the road to the Celestial City encounters many trials and tribulations along the way by John Bunyan, and according to Williamson is the best story about the struggles of a pilgrim and the concept may be old, but is just as relevant today.

She says that this series of painting could not have been imagined without witnessing and encouraging her mother on her journey.

Williamson’s mother passed away last year after a spirited battle with cancer.

“I had never really considered coming home to have a show until my mother suggested it,” said Williamson.

“I knew she would be filled with pride to have me return to Williams Lake to show my work back on B.C. soil.”

She said shortly after the show was

discussed her mother fell ill, it was an hour after she passed when Williamson received an email from the Station House Gallery encouraging her to apply for a show.

“To say it was bittersweet would be an understatement, but not to accept the offer would be an offense to my mom,” said Williamson.

Williamson’s chosen medium is as unique as her inspiration for her latest painting series.

She chooses to work in an age-old medium called encaustic, which essentially are coloured pigment and resin crystals mixed with beeswax.

“It’s a wonderful material because it has many translucent elements that regular oil and acrylics don’t have.

I am also quite partial to texture and encaustic is a beautiful medium

when it comes to riding the best.... it’s all or nothing!

to work with if you like thick layers,” says Williamson.

Back in Calgary, she works as the Assistant Director at Wallace Galleries Ltd. She maintains a studio practice and teaches workshops dedicated to the practice of Encaustic painting.

Williamson says she fell in love with art of encaustic painting during her time at Red Deer College, and continues to master the material 10 years later.

“I will always strive for new and fresh, while anchoring myself in solid and tradition and practice,” says Williamson.

From October 7th to 29th, come check these two wonderful ladies at the Station House Gallery.

Tomorrow night is the opening of the show at the Gallery starting at 5 p.m. and going until 7 p.m.

TRU-North a true destination for students Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor The head of Thompson Rivers University says if anyone had plans of closing down TRU- William Lake they should have done it before they hired him.

Dr. Ray Sanders has big plans for our local university, not only does he plan on keeping it alive, he wants it to thrive.

“I believe that you bloom where you’re planted, and we’re not only going to bloom we are going to flourish,” says Sanders.

After 30 years in higher education in the United States, last year he felt it was time to find a job with more meaning for him.

“Your job finds you as much as you find it,” says Sanders. “This job called to me, as much as I looked for it.’

Ray Sanders Sanders has big plans for TRU-North that much is clear, he has no interest in walking away and is going to give it his all.

“I wanted to come to a place where I could really make an impact,” says Sanders.

Sanders is American, and his wife is Canadian, and neither one of them have any intentions to go back to the States again.

“I love it here,” says Sanders. “The people

here are my kind of people.”

Sanders has been the Director at TRU-North (the unofficial name they have been using), since August 27 2010, and says he is happy with how far the University has come, but still isn’t happy about where the university is.

“We are going to fulfill our destiny and step up and be a University,” says Sanders.

Sanders says he’s not as patient as he should be, and there are a lot items he has planned for TRU. He wants TRUNorth and Williams Lake to be a destination chosen by students who not only reside in Williams Lake, but come from across Canada, and all over the world.

“We can offer a true Canadian experience (in Williams Lake),” says Sanders.

Sanders also says he wants to introduce new programs at TRU that are specialized and unique to Canada, as well as make it possible for students to do all their post-secondary at TRU-North.

“There is no reason someone should have to leave (Williams Lake) in order to finish a degree.”

Sanders also says the campus needs childcare to help attract adult learners, and a wider range of student services.

One thing he is very proud of is the guarantee not to cancel classes, since that was a major problem in the past.

“If a student makes the commitment to us, we need to make a commitment to them,” says Sanders.

According to Sanders, this town is on the verge of a huge transforma-

tion, and the university is going to play a big role in it.

Sanders says the City and Regional District has been wonderful to work with. He says even though the current building, and location may not be ideal, there are upgrades that can be made like extending Western Avenue to Mackenzie Avenue.

Sanders is originally from Okalahoma and grew up very poor. He says he worked hard all

the way through postsecondary and he just wants to help people live a better life.

Ivan Bonnell a democracy,” said Bonnell.

It is a big commitment, but he is com-

fortable of the level of involvement of councilor, and no intentions of running for mayoe.

“I am willing to serve as a collective with the whole of council,” said Bonnell.

Some things he would like to work towards on council would to be continue towards lowering crime, strengthening the economy, and he believes the community and council need to work together.

“There is strength in the community, we need to unite and

Former mayor makes bid for council Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor As a long-time resident of the community, Ivan Bonnell is concerned about a number of issues in the community including taxation, economic status, and has decided to run for the position of city councilor in the upcoming municipal election.

“There is a whole mess of matters,” said Bonnell. “I am willing to offer my experience for the next three years.”

Bonnell has City Council has 14 years of council experience.

Her served on City Council from 1988 to1999 and served as Mayor from 1999 to 2001.

Bonnell said he feels it is important for residents to know who is running and what they’re all about, so they can then make an educated decisoion after they have scruntized and checked the candidates out.

He also encourages individuals like himself to stick their name on the ballots well, and he definitely encourages people to get out and vote.

Bonnell said as an outsider looking in there are still problems facing the community, mainly making the community at large feel safe which he doesn’t feel as happen yet, though he does say the City has made progress.

“There is still room for improvement,” said Bonnell. “We need to find ways to work corporately with the community to resolve social issues and the sense of insecurity.”

Thankful to be home in the Cariboo for Thanksgiving So once again it’s that time of year. You know the time when the leaves are a changing and falling, and the air is crisp. No it’s not just fall, it is Thanksgiving, or it is soon. And that means giving thanks for everything we have and everyone we love.

But do people still take the time out at Thanksgiving to truly give praise for all the wonderful people and things they have in their lives, or is all about the turkey?

Don’t get me wrong, Thanksgiving dinner is truly wonderful with all its turkey and fixings, but there has to be more to this holiday than food right? Or is Thanksgiving another holiday where the true meaning has been forgotten, and a new meaning has taken its place?

Really, what holiday is still celebrated for the

true meaning of the day instead of celebrating a day off from work or school, and food, and stuff? Not many.

C h r i s t m a s , Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s day, even Labour day, not one of these holidays is celebrated for their original intentions. Holidays weren’t just thought up by people for a day off, or a reason to go out and party or buy stuff, holidays were created for a reason, and many of us have lost sight of those reasons.

Thanksgiving is about giving thanks, and remembering that we are truly lucky for the lives we live, the food we eat, and the people who are taking that journey through life with us.

Thanksgiving is celebrated the second Monday in October at the end of the harvest season. It was made a

statuary holiday in 1957 by the Canadian Parliament.

Its original purpose was to serve as a day of thanksgiving to the Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed.

When I was younger, my family along with aunts, uncles and cousins celebrated Thanksgiving with a fabulous dinner (we still do), and before we could eat we went around the table and said one thing we were thankful for that year (which we don’t do as often anymore).

As a child, I was always thankful for material things, toys and games and what not, but as I got older I began to realize that what I was truly thankful for was my wonderful family. I know too many people who don’t have a close family, and I love

how close I am with my aunts and uncles that live in Williams Lake.

This is my first Thanksgiving dinner back in Williams Lake in over four years, not that I was deprived in Calgary, I was lucky enough to have a cousin that invited me to dinner every year and the dinner was just as fantastic as the ones I grew up on (she grew up on the same) and there wasn’t a year that went by in Calgary that I wasn’t thankful to have her there, she did so much for me over the years and I would have been lost with out her.

Thank you Tegan.

Thanksgiving may just be another holiday and day off to some, but I will give thanks for my friends and family once again this year. And I will once again enjoy some turkey, I mean it is Thanksgiving after all.

A new little Shredder for Williams Lake Congratulations are in order for our city’s most prominent backcountry guy, businessman and overall community advocate Mark Savard and his

lovely partner Jacinta D’andrea.

The couple welcomed a beautiful baby girl Monday evening at Chimney Lake and all are doing well.

According to proud Grandma Lenora Savard, the baby weighed in at 7 pounds, 13 ounces.

Savard has long been an advocate for

backcountry recreation, cross country skiing and mountain biking, and has been a key figure in promoting alternative sports to area youth.

Congratulations!

Some valuable lessons my father taught me Only 46 days left until race day, even less until we leave. I can’t believe how time is now flying. I am sometimes getting excited about the race in spite of myself. As we get closer to the race date I can’t thank our sponsors enough for their help. Scotiabank joining us has really helped with the fundraising aspect and to attract other sponsors. Thank you to Paul Eves and his team at Scotiabank.

I can’t thank Heino and Tracy Seibert enough for really jumping on board with the Baja and really pulling out all the stops to

Baja or Bust

with Kane Fraser

make sure we are as prepared as you can possibly be. Steve Duerst, the Parts Manager at Spectra Power Sports Ltd., has spent countless hours on the phone with American race companies gleaning all the information he

can from them. Ricky Bobby Seibert has put an incredible amount of time into building the Polaris 900 XP Race RZR. The other company that has put a lot of time, energy, and money into this event is WIK ADS. WIK ADS has created and paid for the website for us www.baja1000fundraiser.com . They have been assisting us with updates and training so we can update it ourselves. I really appreciate their help.

If you need a website designed, give them a call and I am sure they can help you out. I

really encourage you to go and visit the website, check it out, tell your friends, hook it up on facebook, and even make a donation to the Rick Hansen Foundation online.

On the Thanksgiving long weekend my dad and I are going to do something together, likely some fishing on the Fraser River for sturgeon. Somebody made a comment to me the other day about the Baja 1000, something like, “… at least you are following through on this, so many people say they are going to do something and never do.”

Well, I am not just doing it, there are fourteen people going with me, so we are doing it together.

This did remind me of a couple of lessons my dad taught me when I was a young man, perhaps 21. We were on a moose hunting trip in Northern B.C. on the Liard River. We had been hunting for a couple of weeks with no success, oh we had seen moose, but had not yet harvested one.

Then it happened all at once. My dad spotted a moose a mile downriver on a gravel bar. Being young and

impatient I wanted to start the motors and roar down and shoot it. My dad and our hunting partners said, no let’s just float down so we don’t scare it. A few minutes later we heard a boat motor coming up river. Oh no, I thought, they are going to beat us to this moose, our moose. As it turned out they did beat us and harvest it.

It was a man and his family. My dad pulled our boat up on the gravel bar and asked him if they wanted any help, he said yes gratefully. Then my dad told me to pitch in which I did, with per-

haps some reluctance.

My dad said to me, he likely needs this and we are really only doing it for sport. I thought about that for a little while and realized he was completely right and I was being very selfish.

Afterwards I was very glad my Dad had helped this family as it did feel like the right thing.

This lesson in and of itself really drove home to me that we should always help those around us and put them before ourselves, like our Rotary motto, Service Above Self.

Thanks Dad.

Mayoralty race focuses in on economic development plan The Williams Lake city administration and council have proudly waved their almost new economic banner for the public to see.

Mayor Cook and Mayor hopeful, Scott Nelson have been campaigning their positions to the media. Nelson suggests he would become Mr. Mayor, Economic Development Man, and bring in needed improvement to the economy of Williams Lake, while Mayor Cook paid for another plan for a new strategy for development in the community.

This new plan came at the cost of hiring another consultant to tell us just about the same thing as the last plan.

Voting by mail available for November local government election The City of Williams Lake will be offering mail ballot voting for the 2011 General Local Election. This will provide an opportunity for more electors to participate in the Local Government Election this November, including snowbirds and others who will be absent from the community during the voting period.

Contemplating Ken with Ken Wilson

This current city council and its administration began taking on more and more of the economic development committee role until they reduced the committee to being basically a non-entity.

Now someone at city hall, probably administration will select five individuals in the city and area to come back with some ideas that are going

to revitalize the community. Is this the way they are bring business into Williams Lake?

Meanwhile former Mayor Walt Cobb, also in the contest to regurgitate a mayor this civic election, has a four point plan for economic development and he suggested its time to get on with the job instead of doing yet another study.

It will be an interesting municipal mayoralty race and it will go right down to the wire on voting day November 19th.

BC Conservative head honcho in BC, John Cummins stated last week that the Liberals and the NDP, in British Columbia are growing closer and closer together, and he

couldn’t tell the difference between the two parties anymore. And this guy is the leader of the Conservative party? I’ll bet a mannequin in the Army and Navy store on Hasting Street in Vancouver knows there is a huge difference between the two. Adrian Dix does not like businesses, Christie Clark supports business.

Dix is quite far left and Clark is middle right. Does that mean that Cummins doesn’t know his left from the right?

Speaking of Mr Dix I understand he told the UBCM convention last week, that he is going to be more positive and present an alternative on things.

Perhaps the NDP leader sees an elec-

tion looming or he is really going to change the colour of his coat from negative to positive. Good for Adrian Dix, it will be interesting watching him in a more positive manner.

Take a look around the world these days, chaos abounds in Middle Eastern countries, weather has ravaged whole towns and villages throughout the world, troubling fiscal times for some countries in Europe and the United States‌ by comparison we have a lot to be thankful for in Canada, in British Columbia and in the Cariboo Chilcotin, as we move into the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Happy Thanksgiving Folks.

HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK Brought B ht tto you bby:

ZIRNHELT TIMBER FRAMES

Powderking Ski Chalet The Powderking Ski Chalet makes exceptional use of a small footprint and is designed to handle a 300 lb snow load. With two small master bedrooms, 2 kids rooms upstairs, and several options for extra bedrooms in the basement, there’s room for 2 families plus guests. A large mudroom helps keep the main 26’ x 26’ living space open (and provides room for skis and gear).

In fact, the great room is as spacious as many larger homes.

There’s room for a hot tub on the front deck and a pool table in the basement. There are many options to modify this plan.

For example, you could have just a master bedroom and ensuite upstairs and vault a portion of the living/dining area. In the future, it could be made into a retirement home by adding a main level addition with a master bedroom.

Q&A Ask an expert Four ways to cash in on home improvement (NC)—Make every cent you put into your home count by making improvements that have a strong return on investment. Before you begin any renovation, plan ahead to get the most out of your money.

Shop around to ensure you get the best price on materials and labour, and know what you want your end result to look like before getting started, to avoid additional costs.

Whether you’re working within a tight budget or prepared to invest a sizeable amount, the Government of Canada makes updating your home easier and costefficient by renewing the ecoENERGY Retrofit -

Homes program from June 6, 2011, to March 31, 2012.

Until the end of March 2012, homeowners are eligible to receive grants of up to $5,000 to make energy-efficient upgrades. Past participants in the program have saved up to 20 per cent on their energy bills.

Some of the major savings from the ecoENERGY grants come from applying for adequate home insulation. The maximum grants for insulation include: • Attic upgrade, $750 • Exterior wall, $1,875 • Overhang/floor above unheated space, $190 • Basement, $1,250 • Crawlspace, $1,000

Take full advantage of this grant opportunity and consider the following home projects to give your home value an extra boost: • Finished basement—If you want to add value to your home, a finished basement can make all the difference. Hire a contractor to reap the most from the remodel and properly insulate the area to keep moisture and air leaks at bay. • Additional storage space—Insulate crawl spaces within your home to provide a moisture-free storage space. • Bathroom makeover—Provide your

means to save on the next utility bill.

VEGAN COOKING

Note: all above mentioned products must be clean.

The most common question asked by residents is: Can GLASS be put in the curb side recycling cart?

The short answer is NO GLASS ALLOWED. PLEASE DO NOT put glass in the recycling cart. Glass in the recycling cart could end up broken. Broken glass spoils the recyclables and puts the workers who do the sorting at a great risk of injury. Instead of putting glass in the curb side recycling cart, it can be taken to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station or Canadian Tire.

Starting this fall the City of Williams Lake’s garbage contractor will be putting a yellow sticker on your recycling cart if they nd glass in the cart as a reminder for you that glass is not allowed.

Swiss couple begin unique ministry in the Cariboo Submitted by Cameron Johnston Last fall, 2010, Clemens and Sabine Oeing-Hanhoff settled in the Cariboo with a dream to help men and women heal and grow. Clemens puts it this way, “as a couple already in our fifties we decided in 2007 to leave Switzerland for Canada, a country we had never been to before. We wanted to experience a new challenge with God. It was a huge step into the unknown, even a risky one, but it has

Clemens and Sabine Oeing-Hanhoff. changed our lives radically.”

“Attending church in Switzerland on a regular

basis and being involved in church activities didn’t help much to still this nagging hunger in

our hearts. We had read a number of books of Christian writer John Eldredge. His classic, Wild at Heart, written and designed especially for men has sold over three and a half million copies worldwide was a great help. In his books we found some answers and a new perspective and deeper understanding about Jesus. Our hunger was for something that only Jesus can give, an intimate life with God. We deepened our understanding that Jesus is life

and with Him there is abundance, adventure and even an important mission to accomplish,” said Clemens.

Once Clemens and Sabine had left their home with the intent to really meet God on a new level, old wounds from the past surfaced and impacted them tremendously. Through God’s healing and the counsel of the John Eldredge books, they experienced the ongoing healing of their lives. “Every wound needs its own time of

healing,” continues Clemens. “There are still places in us which need His loving and caring touch and we know new wounds will come because we are living in a fallen world where war in some form is a constant.”

The primary goal now in the lives of Clemens and Sabine is to help people find peace and freedom in their lives.

Hearts 2 Free Ministry was established by them in March 2011 to join God's core

desire for mankind, to help men and women recover their hearts and discover the life and purpose God wants them to live and enjoy.

Beginning with three Wild at Heart seminars this fall in Williams Lake, 100 Mile House and Quesnel, their goal is for men and women to live a journey that eventually will be a restored, healed and liberated life.

Challenges loom large as school budgets set to tighten Continued from Page 1 academic classes, online, to students throughout the rural reaches of the district), rural school staffing, as well as the Professional Learning Communities program which helps teachers become better teachers through professional peer support under the leadership of the district.

These programs may be in jeopardy because of a lack of funding for the upcoming year.

Also on the potential chopping block in the years to come will be schools, he admits.

“It may be that our schools will look very differently five years from now, or some of them may be closed,” he said.

“Right now we have more spaces than kids and having excess space is expensive.”

Rodier said the district’s budget is essentially based on the number of students in the district, which is projected to continue to drop in the coming years.

“I think we have to do something with the two high schools in Williams Lake - that may mean a middle school or that may mean something else.”

Running two high schools as the district does now, Rodier said, is a problem. The district can’t offer the extent of programming now that they could if all the high school students were together. It is also inefficient in terms of busing students back and forth.

He said another major issue will be simply getting everyone up to speed on all the issues, and quickly.

“It’s going to be a

massive undertaking,” Rodier said of educating newly-elected trustees, noting critical decisions on budgets and potential school closures are going to have to be made soon.

Also on the list of challenges is the board’s commitment to developing a ten-year plan for the district, something the current board has been unable to do.

Rodier said the trust-

ees could not come to agreement on high school configurations in Williams Lake, combining the high schools in 100 Mile House, and closing, restructuring or maintaining rural schools, There was also debate around the degree to which a long term plan should focus on facilities and/or educational priorities.

So, it is realistic to expect the new board

to plough through work which the current board couldn’t complete in three years, in just four months?

“Some of it has to be done whether it’s realistic or not,” Rodier said.

“The board has to come to a balanced budget by the end of June and because of the union climate they work in, it actually has to be done by March.”

Those challenges are

on top of the current teacher job action, which has already affected work in School District 27.

The trustees voted last week not to have committee meetings without teacher representation until the labour dispute is over.

Rodier agrees the upcoming election is a critical one for the public to get involved in.

According the district office staff about 20 per

cent of eligible voters voted during the last School District Trustee elections.

Besides Rodier, Pete Penner (who represents 108 Mile and Lac la Hache) announced at last week’s board meeting that he would not be running in upcoming trustee elections.

Current trustees Heather McKenzie, Richard Elliott, Will VanOsch and Pattie Baker

announced that they would seek re-election.

Williams Lake trustee, Bruce Mack announced he will also step down.

Sheila Boehm was the first trustee to officially file her papers for candidacy for the Williams Lake Fringe zone yesterday, while 150 Mile House mother Jackie Austin says she plans to make her candidacy for Zone 4 official next week.

What is hypnotherapy and how does it differ from hypnosis?

What is hypnotherapy and how does it differ from hypnosis?

The essential difference is that ‘hypnosis’ is a natural state that everyone experiences several times throughout their day. People go into spontaneous trances everyday while driving, watching TV, or reading a book.

‘Hypnotherapy’ on the other hand, is the directed use of hypnosis by a trained hypnotherapist, to produce a positive and desired

result. It is the process of focusing your mind on a specific goal to produce a specific result.

What is the purpose The purpose of medical hypnotherapy is to reduce suffering, promote healing, or to help a person alter an unwanted or destructive behavior.

A trained hypnotherapist can induce the state of hypnosis, and guide your mind in the direction necessary

for positive changes to occur. All hypnosis is actually self-hypnosis, and is therefore so remote from the myth that hypnosis is a form of mind control. Hypnosis cannot be done against your will, nor would you do anything in hypnosis that you would not do otherwise.

A helpful guide The hypnotherapist simply helps guide you to discover the hidden blocks and negative beliefs that are locked away in your subconscious mind and is possibly holding you back. The conscious mind is induced to go into a deep relaxation so that positive suggestions can be made directly to the subconscious.

issues or goals to be addressed. It is important to keep in mind that hypnosis is not a miracle fix to any problem, illness or issue.

It can be a powerful tool which will help you, but it will not do everything for you. It will give you a helping hand, and it will help the mental side of your

efforts, but you definitely need to want to change, to be committed to changing, and then you need to take physical action and pursue your goals .

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month Every October, breast cancer charities organize health campaigns, give out pink ribbons, and deliver information and support to those affected by the disease.

The aim of National Breast Cancer Awareness month is to promote mammography as the most effective weapon in the fight against breast

cancer.

In the lakecity, the local Safeway is offering the opportunity to donate $2 to breast cancer research and the chance for customers to win a $400 Safeway give card.

There is the Run for the Cure, the two-day walk/run that happens every October all over Canada. The run was October 2 and was the

20th annual Run for the Cure, an event that happens every October and has raised millions for breast cancer research.

To support breast cancer awareness this month, pin a pink ribbon to your coat the nation symbol for breast cancer awareness. So wear a little pink this month and support a great cause.

There were 75 riders that participated in the ‘Shifting Gears’ event on Sunday, here a group waits their turn to make their way down the Snakes and Ladders trail.

Bike riders galore at ‘Shifting Gears’

Courtney Taylor Photos

The First Annual Boys and Girls Club ‘Shifting Gears” event brought out tons of people including father and son duo Greg Monroe and his eight-year old son Jeremy who was the youngest rider for the day.

Thrill seeking boys and girls were chomping at the bit Sunday morning to ride one of Williams Lake’s premier mountain biking trails, Snakes ‘n Ladders, for the 1st annual Shifting Gears fundraising event.

The event was organized by Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed and the Boys and Girls

Club of Williams Lake and District as an alternative to the club usual golf fundraiser.

The day started at 9:30 a.m. Sunday morning at the clubhouse with shuttle rides out to the popular trail up near Esler where registration was taking place.

The ride started just after 10 a.m. for all

the anxious riders who couldn’t wait to get on the trails.

Despite the cool morning weather, there were bikers galore and 75 riders took part in the event.

All the riders were broken into classes, and started on the trail individually, with the ending point being the river valley park-

ing lot across from the graveyard, a good 20-30 minute ride, or bike park at Boitanio Park.

Monica Johnston from Boys and Girls Club said the day was huge success and that raised more than $7,000 was raised for the club.

munity and had never ridden the amazing trails of Williams Lake and were very impressed,” said Johnson. “Our Club wishes to appreciate the fantastic group of volunteers that made the event successful.”

The ride was followed by a BBQ in Boitanio Park at the bike park, and Johnston said the whole day certainly met their goal of providing a fun, community event.

This summer City Council reached a Community Partnership Agreement with the Williams Lake Cycling Club to work together to sustain vibrant, progressive, and economic beneficial cycling initiatives.

Since then, signage at trail heads has greatly improved on area mountain biking trails, making Williams Lake an even more popular area for mountain biking as seen last Sunday for the Shifting Gears fundraiser.

Here are three easy tips to help you get back into shape and back on track for the busy fall season: Healthy snacking While it's not always easy to get all the nutrients you need from your meals, a nutritious drink can help. Choose a lowcalorie beverage such as Bodylogix Protein H20 that contains no fat or sugar and has 10 grams of protein to boost energy, 5 grams of fibre to keep you feeling fuller longer, electrolytes to help hydrate and an assortment of vitamins. Try this as a nutritious

alternative to sodas, juices, sports drinks and other beverages at lunch, in the gym or at the office. Also consider packing a piece

of fruit or some nuts each day for a quick and easy snack that can help tide you over until mealtime.

It’s the perfect choice no matter your current decor or taste. Whether you prefer a casual, modern or relaxed country look, cork will accentuate any style or space.

Cork floors have been used for decades, traditionally been used in schools and libraries for its acoustic benefits.

Redesigned for today’s consumer, cork is making its way into mainstream living rooms, bedrooms and in particular, kitchens due to its natural beauty, comfort and warmth.

Jazmyn Douillard Cariboo Advisor A week ago if someone asked me what colour I wanted to paint my new kitchen I'd have thought, "Isn't it fine the way it is?" regardless if the original bright purple and lime green walls didn't mesh with the new cherry maple cabinets.

Painting used to terrify me! Do I go with the satin finish? Or possibly the semi-gloss?

Does matte go on trim?

I had no idea.

What I know now would have saved my old kitchen from making my guests wish they were colour blind.

ing adventures are the basics.

Matt is your most forgiving finish, especially if you don't want to take the time to prefill any little imperfections since it won't reflect light. It's best for walls, though it is a bit more difficult to wash so you may want to pass on using it for the children's room.

Satin has a light sheen to it, making it reflect light but minor imperfections won't stand out too badly.

It does however clean very well and is great for the kid's room and trim.

Eggshell is a mix between satin and matt.

It has a nice low shine with a bit of texture, which makes it nice for hiding imperfections.

Since it cleans better eggshell is my personal choice for kitchens.

Semi-Gloss is a good choice for trim. It isn't as shiny as gloss paint, but will still make imperfections really stand out. It cleans very well and can handle a good scrubbing.

Gloss is beautiful, but you certainly want to prep your walls as it will reflect light off of every imperfection, and you'll need several coats to get consistent covering. It can handle a lot of cleaning, making it great for kitchens and bathrooms. Many also choose to use it for painting furniture!

So go now, with your new painting knowledge, and take on those bare walls with the daring colours you've dreamt of!

Kitchen design: insider tips

Making the move to home theatre

Watching a big screen is that much more enjoyable when it's from your own couch—Sharp's 70” TV allows you to get a big-screen feel in your home.

(NC)—If you're always drooling over your friend's big screen TV during the Super Bowl, or spend more time watching the latest Hollywood blockbusters at a friend's place than at the movie theatre, it's time for you to invest in your own big screen at home.

There's never been a better time to make the move to big screen viewing— fall brings all four major sports to television screens, Glee is back for another season or, with today's TV streaming capability, you don't even need to leave the house to see

the latest movies.

Sharp Electronics TV product expert, Greg Balina, (thinksharp.ca) offers some tips on how to be successful in the big buy: • Evaluate your options and what features you're looking for before you buy. Where are you going to place the TV? Do you want full surround sound?

Will you be able to mount your set high enough and away from any young children's eager fingers?

• The biggest regret people have when they set up their new screen is not buying big enough.

The difference between a 70” and 46” TV is twice the viewing area— meaning you get a true cinematic feel right at home rather than a traditional home TV viewing experience.

• Gone are the days of bulky sets that seem to be more frame than screen, and stick out two feet from the wall. Now, sets are lighter, thinner, and specifically designed for a home viewing experience. And with some 70” models selling for less than $4,000, a big screen experience is more affordable than ever.

• You can go big.

For many people, one of the biggest challenges is overcoming the idea that a big screen will interrupt existing décor or make a room look too cluttered. The opposite is true if you focus on the right furniture and keep things simple.

Choose large main furniture pieces, like oversized couches and a prominent coffee table, and minimize items like knickknacks and end tables to create balance.

• Wall-mounting is easier than even TVs that are lighter than ever and is another great way to make the most of your space and create a modern, minimalist look while enjoying your favorite shows and sports in eye-popping HDTV • Think green.

Investing in a great home viewing experience doesn't need to put your hydro bill through the roof. Look for new big screens models that use extremely small amounts of energy, some as little as a 100 watt light bulb.

Of course, now that you're the one with the big screen LCD TV, you'll have to entertain more friends than usual—so make sure you grab the larger sized popcorn, too.

(NC)—The kitchen is the heart of the home – a place where everyone naturally gravitates for not only meals, but late-night talks, homework sessions and family celebrations. So making sure this popular room is designed to meet your family's lifestyle needs is important. Plus, updating the kitchen can increase the value of your home! Frank Turco, senior manager of trend and design, The Home Depot Canada, shares these fundamentals of a well-designed kitchen space: Planning – Like any home improvement project, having a kitchen plan is critical.

For years, many have left this task up to the designers, but now you can be involved in the process too with handy online planners such as The Home Depot's My Kitchen Planner available in late October.

Simply upload a photo of your space, share some of your requirements and a kitchen expert will be in touch

within 48 hours to provide advice and insight.

Spacing – Leave sufficient space in front of your appliances and cabinets to ensure there is room to open the doors and move around comfortably. You also need to have enough space around your sink to scrub, wash and rinse (particularly if it takes two to wash the dishes!).

Quick tip: the walkway between your island and cabinets should measure approximately 42 inches wide to accommodate traffic flow.

Layout – When planning the sink and countertop area, keep clean up and food prep in mind. Not only is it easier for your plumber to install, having the dishwasher close to the sink makes for quick loading of dirty dinner plates.

Lighting – Consider going with unique lighting options such as underneath overhead shelves or inside glassdoor cabinetry, track lighting above the kitchen table or even an unex-

pected (and glamorous) chandelier. Add dimmer switches throughout so you can set the light to match the occasion.

And remember, it is best to get an electrician in before the cupboards and appliances are installed to ensure the proper placements of any new electrical outlets.

Flooring – Kitchen floors have to bare a lot of wear and tear, so when choosing the flooring, look for good quality stain resistant options.

Hardwood floors can last a lifetime and harmonize with just about any kitchen décor, while laminate flooring offers strong durability, at a more budget friendly cost. Not sure if flooring should be darker or lighter than cabinetry?

Go with your instinct and what suits your personal style.

For more information and ideas for designing or updating your kitchen, visit www. homedepot.ca or your local The Home Depot store.

Once again it is time to give thanks A day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed, to be observed 2nd Monday in Oct. This was enacted into Canadian Parliament in 1957 when John Diefenbaker was the Prime Minister.

As we head into the Thanksgiving we in Canada should indeed be thankful for the bounty we have received by the fall harvest in this great country.

The autumn montage of colours start to cascade upon us now

that we have had a little frost on the pumpkin in the Cariboo Chilcotin and we start wondering what we are going to put on the plate for Thanksgiving dinner.

Turkey and Ham are the most consumed meat this weekend, while some Brussel

sprouts, nice peas, carrots, lots of stuffing, good gravy and some nice pumpkin pie also are mainstays of a Canadian Thanksgiving dinner.

I like to brine my turkey for 24 hours, rinse, stuff and cook slowly all day at 200 degrees. The turkey is done at dinner time and it is very moist.

The only thing I have not mentioned in regards to a nice turkey dinner, is Cranberry Sauce.

I remember fresh home made cranberry sauce at every meal where there was turkey.

My grandfather liked it so much he would make sandwiches with it, the day after the turkey was consumed.

Must Have It Thanksgiving Fresh Cranberry Sauce 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of water 4 cups of fresh cranberries Put water and sugar into a pan and bring to a boil, stirring. Put in cranberries, return to a boil then simmer for about ten minutes or until the cranberries burst. Some people have used fresh blueberries for a tasty

addition, some like to add a few spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice.

Remove your pot from the stove and cool to room temperature and then chill in the fridge. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools... I get about two cups out of this recipe.

Make sure some tasty Cranberry sauce is on your thanksgiving table.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and give thanks for that which we have in Canada.

Bye for now and Goood Cooking.

Passion is inevitable and commitments can be made during the heat of the night. Work quietly on your own. Think twice before you say something you might regret later. Let others know what your intentions are and be honest in your approach. Your lucky day this week will be Tuesday.

Real estate ventures will be to your ad vantage. Look at your options before making commitments that could jeopardize your financial position. Travel and communication will be lucrative for you. Get help to finish a project if you need it. Your lucky day this week will be Monday.

Your creative ability will surface, giving you good ideas for ways of making money. Matters pertaining to your home environment will be favorable if you are direct. Involvement in financial schemes will be followed by losses. You mustn’t be so trusting. Your lucky day this week will be Saturday.

You should want to feel good about yourself and your goals. You need to clear up some important personal documents before the end of the year. Your lover may be annoyed if you have been flirtatious or not attentive to their needs. You’ll feel much better when your slate is clean again. Your lucky day this week will be Monday.

Talk to someone you trust if you need advice about broaching the subject. Visit friends you don’t get to see that often. Don’t spend too much on products that promise amazing cosmetic results. Use your innovative mind to surprise youngsters. Your lucky day this week will be Sunday

IT’S BIG AND IT’S BACK. RECYCLE YOUR RIDE IS ALL ACROSS CANADA.

ONLY FOR A LIMITED TIME. ONLY AT YOUR FORD STORE.

At Ford we believe in the power of recycling. That’s why our Recycle Your Ride program is back across the entire country.

Already over 50,000 Canadians have recycled their ride with Ford since 2009. That’s enough vehicles to circle the globe twice.

And the program has also eliminated approximately 474,308 metric tonnes of smog-forming emissions, equal to 260,000 full garbage bags.

And now, in an effort to recycle even more, the program has been expanded to include any 2005 model or older. So even more people can receive up to $3000* in incentives to use towards purchasing or leasing our smartest, safest and fuel-efficient Ford vehicles. Like the Focus, Fusion, and F-150. Even the award-winning Fiesta and Edge.

Recycle your Ride and get up to

3,000

$

*

in additional incentives Receive up to $3,000* from Ford on qualifying vehicles of model year 2005 or older.

Our goal is to replace as many older vehicles still on the road today with more fuel-efficient, lower emissions Ford cars, CUVs, SUVs, and trucks. And you can help. If it’s time to recycle your ride, just visit any Ford Store across the country. But hurry, because Recycle Your Ride is only back for a limited time.

For more details visit ford.ca today.

* Program in effect from October 1, 2011 to January 3, 2012 (the “Program Period”) To qualify, customer must turn in a 2005 model year or older vehicle that is in running condition (able to start and move and without missing parts) and has been properly registered/plated or insured for the last 3 months (the “Criteria”). Eligible customers will receive [$500]/[$1,000]/[$2,500]/[$3,000] towards the purchase or lease of a new 2011/2012 Ford [Fiesta (excluding S), Focus (excluding S)]/[Fusion (excluding SE), Taurus (excluding SE), Mustang (excluding Value Leader), Escape (excluding XLT I4 Manual), Transit Connect (excluding EV), Ranger (excluding Regular Cab 4x2 XL), Edge (excluding SE), Flex (excluding SE), Explorer (excluding base)]/[F-150 (excluding Regular Cab 4x2 XL), Expedition, E-Series]/[F250-550] – all Raptor, GT500, BOSS302, and Medium Truck models excluded (each an “Eligible Vehicle”). Taxes payable before Rebate amount is deducted. To qualify: (i) customer must, at the time of the Eligible Vehicle sale, provide the Dealer with (a)sufficient proof of Criteria, and (b) signed original ownership transferring customer vehicle to the Authorized Recycler; and (ii) Eligible Vehicle must be purchased, leased, or factory ordered during the Program Period. Offer only available to residents of Canada and payable in Canadian dollars. Offer is transferable to persons domiciled with the owner of the recycled vehicle. Offer can be used in conjunction with most retail consumer offers made available

by Ford at either the time of factory order or delivery, but not both. Offer not available on any vehicle receiving CPA, GPC, or Daily Rental Rebates and the Commercial Fleet Rebate Program (CFIP). Limited time offer, see dealer for details or call the Ford Customer Relationship Centre at 1-800-565-3673. ©2011 Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited. All rights reserved.
