ZOMBIES INVADE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB

Greg Sabatino photoA group of Williams Lake Boys and Girls Club volunteers prepares to scare crowds at its haunted house last Saturday and Sunday in Williams Lake. For a guide on what’s happening Halloween night in Williams Lake see page B10.

Williams Lake short seven doctors

Williams Lake needs seven doc-tors.

That’s one of the messages rep-resentatives from the Central In-terior Rural Division of Family Practice (CIRDFP) shared with the Cariboo Regional District board Friday.

“Atwood Clinic is advertising for four, Yorston Clinic two, Cam-eron Clinic one and Comer Clinic one,” said Lynne Roberts, the divi-sion’s Williams Lake recruitment co-ordinator.

One physician in the Atwood Clinic who is approaching retire-ment is still practicing but has dropped his hospital privileges, and one doctor will retire from the

Yorston Clinic in December, Rob-erts said.

“On the upside, there’s a doctor from Ireland returned to work here at the Borland Clinic,” she added.

And an internist arrived in June for his first site visit, and returned last week to visit with a realtor.

“I would like to say we have suc-cessfully recruited this internist and he will begin working in four

to six months at our hospital,” Roberts said.

A second internist from Sas-katchewan “enjoyed the colours of the Cariboo and a personal horseback ride” during his first site visit, and is interested in doing locums for now to see how it goes, she added.

If city council want-ed community feed-back on proposed in-tersection changes to Highway 97 it got its wish.

Of the more than 100 people who at-tended an information meeting at the Gibral-tar Room hosted by the city and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, many people spoke against removing lights at Car-son.

Some were against spending millions on lights at Toop, several opposed making John-son Street an extension of the turn off from a Toop Road intersec-tion, while others advo-cated making Johnson the ambulance route.

Tyler Hamm said if the upgrade is a safety measure it doesn’t seem that a lot is changing other than the location of the lights.

“Instead of going to $22 million worth of work, why not put up some cement bar-ricades to eliminate the left hand turn onto Toop Road south-bound on the highway

and the left hand turn northbound,” Hamm said. The lights don’t have to be moved from Carson Drive, they are safe where they are at, he added.

“Stopping traffic from going left is prob-ably the main source of accidents.”

Responding Ed Wnuk, , said putting signals at Toop Road has other advantages.

“One of them is that it will slow traffic com-ing into the city south-bound before it gets to Carson,” he said.

Sharon Smith, who recently retired from working in lo-cal schools, opposed removing the lights at Carson and said many new drivers will be us-ing Carson to commute to and from school.

“I would like to see a left turn signal at Car-son so that people can turn on the signal rath-er than just estimate when traffic is com-ing,” Smith said.

Eddie Ballarn from MOT said the signal is warranted based on traffic volumes and the lights at Toop would give Carson more gap time because it would keep traffic back at the

lights.Paramedic Steven

Rupp, however, said he preferred Option 2 because lights at Toop, with an ambulance route to the hospital going directly down Johnson Street, is a saf-er option for paramed-ics and clients.

“On the average we used that intersec-tion and access to the hospital 4,000 times a year, plus Alexis Creek, Anaham, Quesnel and Ashcroft all use the hospital for medi-

vacs,” he said.Resident Nigel

Whitehead agreed and said anything to improve the time for ambulances would be ideal.

“I know there’s a lot of concern about more traffic on Johnson, but I think if it would cre-ate time savings for more people it would be better,” Whitehead said.

Johnson Street resi-dent Connie Corlass said the “huge” num-ber of people who use

Carson would switch to using Johnson.

“Fine for the ambu-lance, but what about all those other cars that will now come down to that T at the hospital and are either going to go down through that twisty turning school zone to get into town or some convoluted way over to Pigeon Av-enue,” Corlass said.

Goodall said those might be reasons for people not to choose the Johnson Street route because once

they get to the bottom it isn’t a good route to get to downtown.

“You may find that people don’t actually use it but will continue to use Carson as the main street,” Goodall said.

Responding to con-cerns about the drive-ways for the Cedar Court town houses at Johnson and 10th Av-enue, Ballarn said they would not be elimi-nated.

“We will still be able to maintain them on Johnson,” Ballarn said.

Ninth Avenue resi-dent John Moon said ambulances have had no problems getting to the hospital using Ninth Avenue.

“The time differ-ence between the two options would be at the most 15 seconds,” Moon said, adding that hardly warrants the impacts on John-son Street.

Last month Moon presented city council with a petition with 300 signatures opposing ty-ing Johnson Street into the Toop Road inter-section.

“We will be asking council to endorse op-tion one,” Moon said

of the local residents.Heather Awmack

lives near 11th Av-enue and asked about property acquisition because her property backs up to the high-way and could be im-pacted if that section is made wider with four lanes.

Project manager Lisa Miller said once proj-ect’s design is finalized, MOT will identify how many properties will be affected and what size.

“Then we’ll have a property co-ordinator who will contact the property owners on a one-on-one basis,” Miller said.

The city has installed traffic counters on Carson and Johnson and will share the sta-tistics in a few weeks, Goodall said.

City chief executive officer Darrell Garceau said city staff along with MOT staff will prepare a report based on feedback from the community on how the project should move forward and present it to city council.

Of the estimated $22 to $24 million project cost, the city’s portion would be around $4 million, Goodall said.

City branding revisited with two new options

Two new branding tag lines are up for con-sideration and Williams Lake’s economic devel-opment manager Alan Madrigga encourages people to weigh in.

The choices — “Life is Bigger Here” or “Western, Rebooted” — were posted on the

city’s branding site last Wednesday, Oct. 23.

“The Life is Bigger tagline was actually de-veloped last fall,” Mad-rigga said. “It went to the advisory committee, it didn’t come to the top of the heap, but it got some good comments.”

“Western, Reboot-ed,” was developed after brainstorming words people used most com-

monly, he explained.“The word western

was easy, but the fact that there’s so much more to do, so reboot,” Madrigga said. “It’s been interesting be-cause people have had different reactions.”

Some people think it’s about a boot, some people think it’s about technology, he said, adding the challenge is

coming up with a tag-line or logo that appeals to everyone.

After the originally suggested tagline “Re-public of Life” received heavy opposition from many community mem-bers earlier this year, Taijii Brand Group and the city’s branding advisory group went back to the drawing board and asked for

more community input through a survey.

Madrigga said dur-ing May and June around 200 people re-sponded to the survey, some filling it out on paper, but the majority of them were filled out online.

Respondents identi-fied the things they liked about living in Williams Lake included the great

outdoor access, afford-ability and the chance to be independent.

“There were people for and against the whole Western culture thing, so we tried to look at something that was going to balance all of that,” Madrigga chuckled, adding it wasn’t an easy task.

The public will have about two weeks to

weigh in on the two new taglines and then staff will summarize the feedback for city council.

“We may recommend using either or we may decide to eventually use both of them,” Mad-rigga said.

“It will depend on the type of audience we’re targeting or ad we’re designing.”


Angie Mindus photoLong time paramedic Steven Rupp voices his support for option two of the ministry’s plan to reconstruct the Toop intersection with direct access to the hospital via Johnson Street, though many residents of the area oppose the suggested access.

The proposed new provincial contract with school support work-ers will cost School District 27 almost half a million extra dollars which is not currently in the district’s budget.

“The contract is still tentative as the board of education and the IUOE have to vote on the new proposals,” says Superintendent Mark Thiessen.

During question period following the board’s regular meet-ing Tuesday, Oct. 22 Thiessen said the board and staff had looked very closely at the fi-nancial implications of the tentative new con-tract with the IUOE support workers and determined the cost of the contract to be about $445,000 in this district for this year.

He said the staff and trustees have discussed

and developed an ini-tial plan to make up the amount in this year’s budget and sent it to the Ministry of Education.

He said the plan will be brought forward to the board’s next public meeting in November.

Costs of the new con-tract are not covered by the funding protection currently provided by the ministry for School District 27, Thiessen said.

A tentative provin-cial K-12 support staff Framework Agreement was reached between the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association and the IUOE and Ca-nadian Union of Public Employees Sept. 18.

The IUOE represents support workers in School District 27. Lo-cal IUOE representa-tive Alice Tresierra said she had no comment on the situation at this

time.According to re-

ports from the IUOE and CUPE unions rep-resenting school sup-port workers in various communities in B.C., each support staff union local will take the pro-vincial agreement to their respective tables with the school districts to conclude collective bargaining.

The term of the agreement is retroac-tive to July 1, 2012 and going forward to June 30, 2014 providing a total wage increase of 3.5 per cent.

The proposed agree-ment provides a one percent wage increase retroactive to July 1, 2013; two percent in-crease on Feb. 1, 2014 and a half a per cent in-crease on May 1, 2014.

There are no conces-sions and the contract introduces the pay di-rect card for up-front drug expenses for virtu-ally all locals.

MJ Cousins, CIRDFP division co-ordinator, said there is a full-time physiotherapist position available in 100 Mile House and a part-time residential care position available in Deni House.

The CIRDFP is the only division in the province that receives funding from its re-gional district’s hospital district.

“When I meet with the other divisions they ask how we did that and I tell them they just came to us,” Cousins

told the board.While a full-time ul-

trasound technician has not been hired for Wil-liams Lake yet, Roberts said there is a person in Williams Lake interest-ed in pursuing a career as an ultrasound techni-cian.

In November, Roberts

and Cousins will attend an event at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver to promote Williams Lake and 100 Mile House.

A draft recruitment and retention strategic plan has been developed and will be released soon, Cousins said.

New school name creates hiccup

Some secondary stu-dents in Williams Lake who are trying to reg-ister for university are running into roadblocks because the new Lake City Secondary school name hasn’t filtered down to the universities yet.

“Lake City Second-

ary has been regis-tered with the Ministry of Education, but we have heard the same concern regarding stu-dents not having Lake City Secondary as a “present school” op-tion when they are ap-plying to universities,” says School District 27 Superintendent Mark Thiessen. “We are look-ing into it.”

Last spring Colum-neetza and Williams Lake grades 8 to 12 secondary schools were amalgamated into one grades 7 to 12 second-ary school operated on two campuses.

The name Lake City Secondary was chosen for the new school.

The campus names were also changed in the spring to Western

and Carson campuses to reflect the street loca-tion of each campus.

Oct. 22 school trust-ees changed the campus names back to the for-mer secondary school names Columneetza and Williams Lake campuses after being lobbied by the public to do so, and reviewing their earlier decision on the name changes.

The City and the Ministry of Trans-portation held a well-attended fo-rum on the Highway 97 improve-

ments Monday night at the Gibraltar Room. City and Ministry of Transportation staff gave a presentation on the project and the two options for connections to side roads. It was an opportunity to hear additional com-ments and for a lot of questions to be an-swered. Council will receive a report in No-vember, and will decide on which option to

proceed with.The Diamond

Dinner Saturday night was another great example of community part-nerships and sup-port. Generous

donators such as Woodland Jewellers, Gus-tafson’s Dodge, and Signal Point all contrib-ute to this great cause of raising funds for the local Good Food Box program and pro-gramming at the Child Development Centre. Hats off to the many volunteers! All indica-tions are that the dinner will raise more than $20,000!

The new public health centre at TRU, which is open to the whole community, will improve primary health care in Williams Lake, offering people another option to have health concerns addressed. The centre, which opened a few weeks ago, is a partnership between TRU and Interior Health. Family nurse practitioner Sandi Lachapelle will pro-vide a great service to our community.

Council had the pleasure last week of wel-coming our fourth group of Junior Council-lors, strong, enthusiastic, community-minded young people who will help move the city for-ward. A warm welcome to Monica Rawlek, Gagan Vaid, Brooklyn Thiessen, Rebekah Corbett, Hanna Hett, and Tanner Nickel, who is serving his second term. Looking for-ward to your unique ideas! We have incred-ible young people in this city, and it is great to see some of them step up to the plate to serve on this council and work to make Williams Lake an even better place. It’s these young people who make me confident the future is in good hands.

Our Manager of Social Development Anne Burrill and a former Junior Councillor will share our Junior Council successes with the rest of the province next month at the Cit-ies Fit For Children Conference in Surrey.

Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Everyone has been enjoying this wonderfully warm fall. I’m writing this on Sunday, and I’m

wondering if the weather will stay friendly until Thursday or will it follow tradition and turn mean on the young Halloween cel-ebrants.

***Last week was

a wow for news, some of it titillat-ing, not much of it good.

The wild week in Ottawa got a lot of attention,

even from those who aren’t political junkies. Senators Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau ap-

pear to be particularly piggy when it comes to money, but surely it’s late in the game for their colleagues to get all prissy about it.

Let the RCMP and the Auditor General do their jobs. It’s interesting that Senator Marc Harb, (the only Liberal among the disgracees) resigned, but he was the only one that had a lucrative pension coming.

Prime Minister Harper is seeking the high road, but given his record as a control freak it’s astonishing he didn’t twig to his three senators’ expensive habits, and if he didn’t know about the cover-up for Mr. Duffy, he should have. If nothing else he’s guilty of poor judgement and he certainly underes-timated the trio’s reaction to being aban-doned by the party.

Is it okay for politicians to do whatever they want to until they get caught? Or does that apply only for an elite few? MP Dean Del Mastro, Harper’s former parliamentary secretary, has been charged under the Elec-tions Act. Will he get the boot? If Duffy and Wallin did claim expenses while fund-raising for the Conservatives, will the party return the money they raised?

Unfortunately the hoopla is taking atten-tion away from other stuff like the European trade deal and another omnibus budget.

***Closer to home, issues in forestry (more

mill closures) and the rewriting of the cen-tury-old Water Act will have long lasting impacts on British Columbians.

The Carson, Toop debateAfter attending the public engagement ses-

sion on proposed changes to the Carson and Toop intersections Tuesday evening, there seems to be one thing lost in all the hoopla.

The fact is, Williams Lake is set to receive a $20 million plus reno to our local infra-structure on the province’s tab.

The Carson to Fox Mountain improve-ment project is phase two of Christy Clark’s multiple-phase plan to twin 440 kilometres of new road between Cache Creek and Prince George.

According to Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure staff, the 1.5 kilometre section of road from the Carson intersection to the Fox Mountain turn-off in question got the ministry’s attention due to safety is-sues surrounding the intersections that have amounted to two fatalities, 27 injuries and 43 damage to property incidents between 2003 and 2012.

Project manager Lisa Miller said the speed change on the highway and too little space between the Toop and Carson intersections are partly to blame for the issues.

She said that a revision of the section of road has been on the books since as early as 1996, and in recent years the ministry has studied and restudied the area to come up with the best possible solution that will put our fair city in good stead for the next 25

years or more.That solution, according to reams of stud-

ies and expert opinions, would see the lights moved to Toop from Carson with improved access to Toop residential, greatly increasing safety for drivers trying to cross the highway. It would also provide better access for the new businesses anticipated on the frontage road along Highway 97.

What has caused the greatest uproar among residents has been a suggestion by the ministry and city to open up access fur-ther to city streets by connecting Johnson Street to the intersection.

These two government bodies would be neglecting their duties not to suggest the Johnson Street access.

It only makes sense going forward into the future.

Paramedic Steve Rupp said it best – we’re all going to be clients of his at some point in our lives and if we are not breathing, we’ll want the most direct route possible to the ER.

Johnson Street is a lovely residential area and in all likelihood will remain that way, and perhaps will be even safer, once the im-provements are complete.

Whichever option the city chooses, it needs to be one that benefits the entire city, not just a few residents in one residential area.

Question of the weekMore consultation needed for community forest

Editor:

I will admit that I have not read every issue of the Tribune/Weekend Advisor in the last two years.

So I say with all honesty, last month was the first time I have seen Mayor Kerry Cook men-tion the Williams Lake Com-munity Forest in her newspaper column.

It wasn’t much. You would have to pay close

attention to catch the four words slipped in, in an off-hand man-ner.

Her brief note failed to add any detail to a simmering is-sue being inflicted on Big Lake, Horsefly and Miocene by this proposal.

Also, she does not mention the amount spent to date on this endeavor.

Nor does she mention, that council failed to attend an infor-mation meeting held at Miocene earlier.

No mention of the fact that council has not seen fit to hold a public meeting in Horsefly con-cerning this proposal.

But, the Mayor gives some good detail about rubbing shoulders with the Premier and Cabinet at the UBCM. Hmmm.

The Minister of Forests can-not accept the Community For-est proposal as it stands. Where is the community support?

How can community support be assumed, without the involve-ment of the three rural commu-

nities that surround this forest?It is now the time for Williams

Lake city council to admit to a huge blunder. Council must withdraw the application, sit down and have a fair negotiation with these three rural communi-ties, your neighbours.

Mayor Cook, I remind you to ask around town, about the Cariboo-Chilcotin Land Use Plan and what a fight that was.

The good folks of the Cari-boo-Chilcotin fought to have their say against a larger popu-lation from Vancouver and Vic-toria.

Perhaps a little history lesson is in order for the professor.

Important clarifications about high school name changes

Editor:

The following is an excerpt from my district blog.

Not surprisingly, there has been much talk in the Williams Lake community this week about the campus names of Lake City Secondary being changed at the last board of education meeting.

The Western Campus became the Columneetza Campus, and the Carson Campus became the Williams Lake Campus.

It’s important that I make two clarifications:

The new amalgamated sec-ondary school in Williams Lake (Grades 7-12) is still called Lake City Secondary.

While the campus names changed last week, the school name has not.

In this regard, the school is still going ahead with new team uni-forms, new letterhead, etc.

There are not large costs as-sociated with the campus name change.

While costs are never insig-nificant, new campus signs and some changes to the district’s transportation software will cost a few thousand dollars in a $50

million dollar annual budget.When the board discussed the

possible name change last spring, the debate centred on maintain-ing history versus creating a new culture.

Both Columneetza and Wil-liams Lake secondary schools had their own stories, and there were many reasons for the board to consider keeping both school names. Columneetza due to both its uniqueness and its First Nations history seems to bring about stronger feelings within the larger Williams Lake com-munity, but Williams Lake Sec-ondary, while obviously more generic, had its own history for both staff and students.

If the new school were to be given the name of either Colum-neetza or Williams Lake Second-ary, one entity would have been swallowed up by another entity.

By giving the new school a new name, it was hoped that both staff and students would come together to create a fresh new identity.

Regardless of the school or campus names, a new culture is indeed being created at the new school.

I would venture to say that the majority of our students care less about school names and more about the new friends they are making, the old friends they have met up with again, and the new teachers from whom they are learning.

Ultimately, the quality of teaching and learning that is happening in the school is of the utmost importance as we move forward.

School District No. 27

Wildwood Trailer Park manager Liz Bellai said she hopes she never has to peel someone off the pave-ment from a dirt bike accident in her neigh-bourhood.

Bellai frequently sees young dirt bike riders come off a trail adjacent to the high-way and enter the cul de sac at the top of her trailer park.

“There are 13 kids living along that cul-de-sac and they are always playing outside right there,” she said, pointing to a grassy area across the lane from some trailers.

The trailer park and its roads are on pri-vate property.

Bellai has put signs up, but they disap-pear.

Area D Director Deb Bischoff said she has received concerns in writing similar to Bellai’s from people in the community who don’t know what else to do.

“Kids are roaring through stop signs, going 70, 80 miles an hour,” Bischoff said. “I was almost t-boned two months ago.”

Finally Bischoff, who in this case was not acting as a direc-

tor, decided it was time to host a community information meeting with the RCMP and last week a meet-ing took place at the Wildwood school on Monday, Oct. 21.

“There was good respectful dialogue,” Bischoff said of the meeting, “About 30 people attended. It was a mix with all sec-tors of the commu-nity.”

Williams Lake Insp. Warren Brown, who attended the meeting, said the community seemed split.

“One side of the room expressed their concern over people riding dirt bikes down the streets at high rates of speed, running stop signs, causing a nui-

sance and concerned their children cannot play outside safely,” Brown said.

Other residents ex-pressed their opinions that because they live more or less in a rural area, they should be allowed to drive ATVs and dirt bikes down the road, Brown said.

“They see nothing wrong with driving them to the gas station and filling up, despite the fact that all ATVs and dirt bikes are not licensed or insured.”

The RCMP do re-ceive similar com-plaints occasionally from other rural com-munities, however, in Wildwood, it seems to have come to a boiling point with a few peo-ple, Brown said.

Bellai said the RCMP told parents at the meeting the fine for driving an unli-censed vehicle on a road is $600.

Bischoff has been coming to Wildwood for 18 years and said the beauty of the com-munity is that a per-son can hop on a quad or a bike, ride respect-fully and quietly down the side of the road for half a block or a block and access trails.

“It’s within what makes Wildwood special, but it’s been abused,” Bischoff said. “I kept telling the kids and the adults what you are doing is putting the specialness of Wildwood at jeop-ardy and starting to peeve off some of the people who have lived here for a long time.”

The bikes, she add-ed, are large, high powered bikes.

If those kids got off the bikes and pushed them walking through the trailer park, it wouldn’t be a prob-lem, Bischoff said.

“It was a good meet-ing and I can only hope the community grabs hold of it and says, ‘kids this is what you need to do, adults this is what you need to do,’ we want to pro-tect the uniqueness of Wildwood.”

The Chief and Council, and most of all, the people of the Williams Lake Indian Band would like to extend their sincerest appreciation and gratitude to all the businesses in Williams Lake who contributed to the construction of the

gazebo and washroom for the newly restored Sugar Cane Church of the Immaculate Conception.

The Gazebo will be named the Anna Crucil Gazebo, in honour of mother of the Reid and Chevigny family. The church has been in continuous use for one hundred and eighteen years (since 1895) without the amenity of a washroom facility. Anyone who has attended the Sugar Cane Church can attest to this fact. Now this has changed mainly through the efforts and coordination of Bryan Reid and Peter Arnold of Pioneer Log Homes of BC. The following businesses from Williams Lake contributed toward the success of this amazing project which was started and completed in one week.

Our greatest appreciation goes out to the following generous contributors:

Proposed water act unfriendlyBrrrrr, the worm has

turned and the normal variety of Cariboo fall weather has finally ap-peared.

Now there will cer-tainly be frost-on-the-pumpkins! Have you ever noted, that no mat-ter how nice and warm the days preceding (or the days after), Hallow-een always seems to oc-cur on the nastiest day in the entire month? Is it a perverse rule of na-ture designed to short-en the goodie-gathering junket?

We also had our first notable amount of precipitation in awhile on Saturday night, as it poured most of the night.

However, water in any form — is good. It

is, in fact, vital to ag-ricultural operations. So much so that all producers need to note that the Province has recently released the legislative proposal for the new Water Sustain-ability Act and heed the fact that they have only a brief four-week period in which to com-ment. Public feedback will only be accepted up to November 15, 2013.

The BC Cattlemen’s Association strongly encourages individual producers to visit the following website: www.engage.gov.bc.ca/

watersustainabilityact.There you can read

the Legislative Proposal (or Overview), see what others have been say-ing and post your own comment on the blog.

Some areas to con-sider commenting on (primary to agriculture) might include; Reten-tion of First-in-Time, First-in-Right model of licensing, priority (put-ting agricultural water-needs ahead of oil, gas, mining, subdivision and other community-development), secure access (for livestock) to water sources (private and Crown lands), al-low off-stream watering (without transferring volumes from irrigation licenses), recognize (al-low) unrecorded use by

livestock, invest in water storage-infrastructure, encourage water-con-servation (incentives/funding for irrigation upgrading) and resis-tance to (opposition) water metering.

Please make the time to inform yourself and speak now.

Many times we pro-crastinate, believing someone else has our backs, so we do noth-ing; only rousing to complain when it is far too late, long after the deed is done or in this instance, perhaps, after an agriculture-unfriendly new Water Sustainability Act is al-ready law.

Helping volunteers make a differenceFew things in life are

as rewarding, and do as much good for the com-munity, as volunteering with children and vul-nerable adults. Work-ing for a volunteer or non-profit organization makes a big difference in the lives of many peo-ple, and we are lucky to have so many great vol-unteers who are willing to give their time to a good cause.

Our province is a leader when it comes to protecting and ensuring the safety of children

and vulnerable adults. Two years ago, B.C. be-came the only province to implement manda-tory criminal record checks of those who work with vulnerable adults, which include the elderly and people with disabilities. These checks ensure that these vulnerable groups aren’t

at risk of exploitation or abuse.

However, the cost of criminal record checks can place a burden on volunteers and non-profit organizations, creating barriers to par-ticipation.

To help overcome these barriers, our prov-ince is making volunteer and non-profit groups eligible for free criminal record checks for their volunteers who work with vulnerable adults and children.

By removing the bar-

riers to volunteering that the cost of criminal record checks created, more people will be able to volunteer with groups like youth sports associations or orga-nizations that provide support for those with disabilities.

I’d like to thank all of the fantastic volunteers out there who share their time to make our community a better place to live.

The BMWi electric car powered its way with ease around city streets and along picturesque Dutch canals. KEITH MORGAN

The future is electricAMSTERDAM – BMW has joined the race for the electric car dollar.On the evidence of two days driving the funky-looking all-electric i3 through the narrow streets of old Amsterdam and alongside the picturesque canals of rural Holland, the German manufactur-er may have a winner.For starters, it is simply great fun to drive. The lithium-ion battery, encased in an aluminum cage below the five-seater cabin, provides enough in-stant zap to the electric motor to propel the car smoothly to 100 klicks in less than eight seconds. Left the stopwatch

at home, but counting “one-and-two etc.” to count seconds, my lips barely mouthed “six” before the speedo leapt from 80 to 120 km/h while passing.It handles beautifully at any speed and hugs the road; thanks to the technolo-gy-laden aluminum platform, that gives it a very low centre of gravity. Turns on a Euro too, as we found during the many U-turns made on blocked streets.Of course, F1 take-offs will suck the battery dry somewhat more quickly but you need not be a snail in the so-called Comfort mode to achieve the adver-tised 160 kilometres range on a full

tank, sorry, fully-charged battery. Plug it in at home overnight and you are ready to roar; go for the enhanced charger and raring to go in three hours.The remarkable efficien-cy is largely due to two factors. The carbon-fibre body is light and regen-erative braking gener-ously juices up the cells. In a two-hour drive, the only time I dropped the anchors was when one of Amsterdam’s kazillion cyclists cut in front of me. Ruined my score, the blighter.Accepting the more slug-gish EcoPro and EcoPro+ modes will add 20 and 40 km to the range. Frankly, in this configuration the i3, is good for any daily commute between Vancouver and Abbotsford and most journeys in southern Vancouver Island. The very areas where BMW expects to do the most business.The i3 offers premium brand luxury for few dollars short of $45,000. Shell out another 4 grand for the unimagi-natively named ‘range-extender’ and

you have a car for the Interior and beyond. Way beyond. As the battery runs low, a two-cylinder, 647cc gas engine, which sits neatly by the side of its electric brother, kicks in and generates power to top up the battery. Push it and gas stops will be frequent because only a minuscule nine-litre tank feeds it. However, most folks will get a chance to recharge before too many visits to the pump.There is another hope for those living beyond Hope. Private companies are seriously evaluat-ing the supply of fast chargers that top up bat-teries in less than half

an hour. Eyes will be on the Sea-to-Sky Highway where chargers are now found at Britannia Beach. And they are popping up in parking lots the length and breadth of the province as the popularity of plug-in hybrid models by other brands grows.View our BMWi3 gallery and read more about the electric car at drivewayBC.ca

2014 Mazda3Mazda, on a global scale, is a small company, so developing new products is a major undertaking. This is why they shared engineering with the Ford Motor Company for many years but that relationship dissolved in 2010. Instead of modifying existing, co-de-veloped vehicles platforms, engines and transmission, the company took a radical turn in the way they develop new products. I’m sure by now you have seen Mazda’s ads for “Skyactiv Technol-ogy”. This is the name for their radical design and manufacturing approach. By engineering vehicles from a blank sheet of paper, Mazda could focus on simplifying the manufacturing process to save money, a crucial part of this small companies survival. This new 2014 Mazda3 is the third vehicle to be built using Mazda’s Skyactiv Technology, behind

the Mazda CX-5 SUV and Mazda6 sedan.LOOKS The platform used to build this all new Mazda3 is a shared chassis with the other two Skyactiv products.

Skyactive design approach for 2014 Mazda3

‘‘This new model feels much like a more expensive car.’’Zack Spencer

driveway

By Zack Spencer

2014 Mazda3Mazda, on a global scale, is a small company, so developing new products is a major undertaking. This is why they shared engineering with the Ford Motor Company for many years but that relationship dissolved in 2010. Instead of modifying existing, co-de-veloped vehicles platforms, engines and transmission, the company took a radical turn in the way they develop new products. I’m sure by now you have seen Mazda’s ads for “Skyactiv Technol-ogy”. This is the name for their radical design and manufacturing approach. By engineering vehicles from a blank sheet of paper, Mazda could focus on simplifying the manufacturing process to save money, a crucial part of this small companies survival. This new 2014 Mazda3 is the third vehicle to be built using Mazda’s Skyactiv Technology, behind

the Mazda CX-5 SUV and Mazda6 sedan.LOOKS The platform used to build this all new Mazda3 is a shared chassis with the other two Skyactiv products. They elongate, widen or shorten the platform to suit each vehicle. In this case, it is slightly shorter then the CX-5. In fact, the new Mazda3 is lower, wider and slightly shorter than the last model but the wheel-base has been stretched by 60mm. This pushes the wheels out to the corner

of the car, providing a solid stance and improving interior space. Then Mazda went about hand forming the body to produce a style that conveys motion, even standing still.

Car Girl’s Garage: Amy Lawson leads an active life

By Alexandra Straub

Amy Lawson, 35, leads an active life.She likes to be outdoors, to play sports, surf, bake and has a thriving social life.Professionally, she was recently promoted to be the Territory Manager for Drydock Footwear Group. Her territory covers British Columbia and Alberta. Being on the road is a sizeable component of her work.When it came time to trade in her Nissan Xtrail — which she loved to pieces — she was torn when deciding what vehi-cle to purchase.“The Xtrail has been a fabulous car, but I’ve

outgrown it and need something that can better accommodate all my equipment,” she says.In the process, she consid-ered SUVs, hatchbacks and crossovers. The Ford Flex, Ford Escape, Honda Pilot, Mitsubishi Outlander were on her list to look at.Amy states, “When I start-ed to research vehicles, the No. 1 thing on my priority list was interior space. I needed lots of it.”She continues, “I didn’t mind if the vehicle wasn’t sexy! I need functional. Good looks were second-ary to me.”Because of her current role, it requires travelling around the Lower Main-land, Vancouver Island, BC and Alberta with various

promotional gear, display units, sample products and more. Not to mention, if she can pack in her sports equipment like her bicycle, snowboard or surfboard in, too, that would be even better.Price was also a factor for her. “I had a budget to work with, and I needed my payments to be around $500 a month,” Amy mentions. “And since I’d be spend-ing a fair amount of time behind the wheel, I’d need something that was comfortable, too.”When chatting about po-tential matches, the idea of a minivan came up.I saw the excitement in

her eyes.In her personal life, she is not the typical mini-van candidate. With no children to drive to hockey or soccer practice, some people might question her enthusiasm. But to her, it seemed like the perfect fit.“I was just so excited about it. Minivans make life so much easier and you can just do so much with them,” she explains.“It made a lot more sense than a pickup and much more sense than an SUV.”A few minivans/mini-van-esque vehicles she looked into were the Hon-da Odyssey, Toyota Sienna and Mazda5.Though the Honda and Toyota appealed to her,

it was the Dodge Grand Caravan that had exactly what she was looking for. It was in her price range and had some handy features that would allow easy loading and unload-ing of her gear. She even really likes its look. Amy tells me, “I can fit two mountain bikes in-

side with people and still have room for more.”The Dodge Grand Caravan that she selected is the Crewe trim, which also came with some extras. She has a towing package, a rear DVD entertainment system (perfect for pass-ing time on ferry rides!), Stow ‘n Go seats, remote keyless entry to the doors and liftgate and more.While she can’t be happier with her purchase, the signing on the dotted line did make her heart beat quite a bit faster. “There’s a lot of anxiety to buying a car. It’s a big purchase and you want to make sure you make the best choice you can.”And speaking of choices, the biggest question when selecting her chariot of choice?“Should I get the white one or the black one?!”

she jokingly asked.She went with black.When looking back on the experience and looking at her Grand Caravan, she happily says, “What I didn’t think would be very sexy vehicle ended up be-ing the sexiest to me. And there’s so much space!”Ladies, if you’re looking at buying a new vehicle and would like some suggestions/assistance, e-mail the Car Girl’s Garage and you could potentially be featured in Driveway.Include your name, email address where best to be reached, a little bit about yourself, what you’re looking for and what price range you need to work [email protected]/cargirls-garage

Drives-U-Crazy: Erratic driversBy Keith Morgan

An early morning drive from Kelowna to Vancou-ver is normally a pleasur-able experience.But a recent a jaunt was

made much less so by an erratic driver, whose actions required all fellow travellers to watch his antics with great care and attention. The young guy at the

wheel of a late model Honda CR-V constantly changed speed, below and beyond the posted speed limit. If he wasn’t passing and cutting in too early, he was inexplicably reducing

his speed and dropping back in the passing lane. Thank goodness, he pulled off at Merritt. What [email protected]

Amid lingering global fi-nancial turmoil, recession recovery was already in high-gear at Ford, with an over a 40 per cent year-over-year sales gain that made Ford the top-selling automaker in Canada, in 2009. It was also the year it launched an all-new 2010 model year version of its popular mid-sized family car the Ford Fusion. The 2010 Fusion was of-fered in SE and SEL trim levels with a choice of a 2.5-litre I4 or a 3.0-litre V6 engines and a 3.5-li-tre V6 powered an all-new Fusion Sport model with all-wheel-drive. Ford also introduced its first hybrid edition of Fusion with an Atkin-son cycle version of the 2.5-litre engine and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (e-CVT). The hybrid’s battery is a nickel-metal hydride type

that’s smaller and lighter than competitors and it’s temperature is controlled by air extracted from the passenger cabin. Claimed city/highway fuel consumption is a very impressive 4.6/5.4 L/100km. Fuel consumption ratings for the other Fusion engines are as follows; 9.4/6.4 L/100 km (city/highway) for the 2.5-litre;

11.1/7.3 (city/highway) for the 3.0-litre V6 mod-els; and 12.7/8.3 (city/highway) for the 3.5-litre with all-wheel drive. A new optional safety feature on the 2010 Fu-sion (well worth having) was a Blind Spot system that comes with Cross Traffic Alert, which was a unique to Ford system. Radar sensors in the rear side quarter panels can detect a moving object within a 20 metre (65-ft) range on either side. Great to have when vision is restricted (as it often is) when backing out of a parking stall. This generation is also a quieter Fusion. Changes to reduce cabin noise levels include an acoustic windshield, thicker front-door glass, new hood insulators, ad-ditional sound deadening in the trunk and a new headliner in the cabin that’s made with an absorption material. An air filter that removes respiratory irritants and toxins from entering

the cabin was also a new standard feature of Fusion.A new standard inno-vation was a fuel filler system called EasyFuel. Not only does it elimi-nate the need to remove a gas cap when filling up, it reduces evaporative emissions. You simply push the fuel-pump nozzle into a gas tank receptacle and it automatically seals shut when removed. Six standard airbags helped the Fusion attain a top five-star crash-test rating. If an air bag is deployed, Fusion also has a unique emergency alert sys-tem that flashes the hazard warning lights

and sounds the horn, to attract attention. An electronic stabili-ty-control system with a brake-activated traction control system was a new standard safety feature.The MyKey security system was made a standard feature on the 2011 Fusion, a spotter mirror, to help eliminate blind spots, was incorpo-rated in the door mirrors and the SE edition got standard automatic headlights. No significant changes were made for 2012.Good reliability, owner satisfaction and low cost of repair ratings helped the 2012 Ford Fusion get a “Recommend” rating

from Consumer Reports. Ford Fusion buyers also benefit from having a good supply of them on the market and used pric-

es tend to be reasonable. A potentially great value pre-owned [email protected]

Angie Mindus photoDairy Queen owner Chrissie Gertzen is thrilled with the work of employee Cory Sulin, who has been with the company for about eight months now. Sulin receives support in fi nding and keeping work through a Community Living B.C. employment program.

EMPLOYMENT: Program

Dairy Queen worker Cory Sulin is an exam-ple of the possibilities available if employers and those with disabili-ties work together.

And he was very ex-cited to be seen as such last Wednesday dur-ing a planned meet-ing between himself and Minister of Social Development and So-cial Innovation Don McRae, who was tour-ing the province to check in on Communi-ty Living BC programs (CLBC).

McRae was unable to make the date, but that didn’t stop Sulin’s boss, Chrissie Gertzen, from discussing the ad-vantages of the CLBC employment program and her feelings toward Sulin.

“I love his work — he’s an awesome part of the team. He’s al-ways so happy and the staff love him,” said Gertzen, whose back-ground was in social work before becoming a business owner.

Gertzen said she be-lieves it’s very impor-tant that people with disabilities have the

same opportunities to work in their commu-nity as anyone else.

“Just because some-one may learn differ-ently doesn’t mean they can’t do the same work.”

She said a successful work partnership lies in keeping routines and making an effort as a staff to communicate.

“Treating them equal, but different,” she said.

Gertzen wonders if some employers are hesitant to hire people with disabilities due to the belief of added costs in training, which

she said just isn’t true.“With the job coach,

there really is no addi-tional cost.”

The job coach pro-gram is a program provided by Commu-nity Living where staff shadow a client in their new job until such time as they are able to work independently in their new role.

Anyone interested in hiring someone with disabilities or to learn more about the pro-gram, can contact Wil-liams Lake Association for Community Living at 250-398-8677 and ask for Sharon.

Self advocates lobby for change

By anyone’s stan-dards, Community Liv-ing BC advocates Linda Evans, her 21-year-old son William Evans and 100 Mile House resident Dianne Bob are active, contributing members of their com-munities.

All three hold down several part-time jobs, live independently and manage to volunteer in many positions on top of that, including their roles as self advocates.

The three took cen-tre stage last week at Axis Family Resources where their intended audience was Don McRae, minister of social development and social innovation, and Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett.

Neither politician made the appointment, however, staff from Williams Lake Asso-ciation for Commu-nity Living (WLACL), Community Living BC as well as staff from Axis were happy to lis-ten to the trio tell their stories and witness the importance of them be-ing included as apart of the community.

Linda Evans has worked as a self advo-cate for years, planning and attending confer-ences across the prov-ince to network and bring about change for those with intellectual disabilities.

Evans was married 13 years and had two boys, however, her hus-band passed away in 2003, leaving her a sin-gle mother.

Evans lives indepen-dently with support from Community Liv-ing, and holds down two jobs as well as her volunteer work.

“Linda is a very reli-able, excellent worker and is very busy,” said WLACL staffer Laura Klassen, who works with Evans.

William Evans is fol-lowing in his mother’s footsteps as a self ad-vocate.

He is also busy work-ing at Community Futures and the share shed, as well as volun-teering at the Salvation Army and Senior’s bin-go on Fridays.

When questioned about whether they liked to volunteer their time or get paid, they all shared a laugh and said of course they pre-ferred to get paid just like anyone else.

“There is lots of value in work,” said Dianne Bob, also a self advocate.

Klassen said people with intellectual disabil-ities are still discrimi-nated against in their communities, including right here in Williams Lake.

“People with dis-abilities have been seg-regated from society for hundreds of years,” said Klassen.

“What we’re trying to do is make a change in the community … there needs to be more educa-tion.”

According to Klas-sen, a big step towards

equality for all, includes equal pay for all.

“They want to work and they want to be paid properly.”

Employment will be the emphasis of a new pilot project planned for this area in the coming months, with the goal of 100 more people with disabilities gaining employment.

Community Living BC has programs in place to support clients through the job search process, right through to on-the-job coaching.

Angie Mindus photoCommunity Living B.C. self advocates Linda Evans, her son William Evans and Dianne Bob, tell their stories and talk about the important work of self advocates at a meeting held at Axis Family Resources last Wednesday. The presentation was intended for Minister of Social Development and Social innovation, Don McRae, who is on a tour of the province, however, was unable to make the meeting.

Halloween is almost here and soon little ghosts and goblins will be wandering the streets in search of Halloween candy. If your children gener-ally eat well all year long, then enjoying Halloween sweets is not a big deal — the key of course is mod-eration and making sure there is more to Halloween than just the candy. Try these ideas to help make Halloween a little healthier.

Serve a healthy meal. On Halloween night serve a healthy meal before the kids head out to go trick-or-treating. If kids feel full before they go trick-or-treating, they will be less tempted to eat candy along the way and will eat fewer pieces of candy afterwards when they return home.

Hand out non-sug-ary treats. Stand out from the crowd and give out something other than candy. Fun alternatives to treats include Halloween styled pens, pencils, and stickers. If you do give out sweets, avoid the sticky gooey ones – try small plain chocolate bars or sug-arless gums which are less likely to promote cavities.

Encourage exercise while trick or treat-ing. Make trick-or-treating an active family affair. Walk from house to house instead of driving. Wear pedometers to see how far you go.

End the evening with active play. End the trick-or-treating part of the evening early and return home

to play some spook-tacular active games and healthy snacks.

Manage the candy: One of the biggest challenges for kids and parents is manag-ing all that Halloween candy. Ellyn Satter is a well-known specialist on feeding children. She offers these steps to help children learn to manage sweets and to keep sweets in pro-portion to the other food they eat:

On Halloween night, when your chil-dren come home from trick-or-treating, let them lay out their candy, be really ex-cited about it, sort it, and eat as much of it as they want, when-ever they want. Let them do the same the next day. On the third day, have them put the candy away (out of sight) and tell them Halloween is over and the candy is a treat. Explain that they can eat the candy at regu-lar meal and snack times — a couple of small pieces for des-sert or snacks. Serve milk with a candy snack to boost nutri-tion. When the candy is gone, return to healthier snacks.

you could WIN A PIZZAChamber Chatter: AGM set for Oct. 31Welcome to our new-

est members Kinikinik Restaurant and Store and Total Ice Training Centre Ltd.

We look forward to introducing you at the general meeting!

Our guest speakers will be the Honorable Coralee Oakes, Min-ister of Community, Sport, and Cultural De-velopment and James A. Belsheim, chair of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce and presi-dent of Neptune Ter-minals in Vancouver.

The terminal handles potash, steelmaking coal, vegetable oil, and agricultural products from across Western Canada. They also handle imported phos-phate rock used in the production of fertilizer.

In addition, there will be a special presenta-tion to the 2013 Busi-ness Excellence Awards recipients by the Busi-ness Development

Bank. Keith Viger, ac-count manager from Kamloops will be mak-ing the presentation.

Do you go the extra mile? What percentage of your customers re-turn? Are you helping your staff?

We all know when customers have a great shopping experience in a business as a result of excellent customer ser-vice; they will continue to shop there. If their shopping experience is less than desirable, they will look for other plac-es to conduct their busi-ness. It makes sense that business owners would want to send their staff for customer service training simply to ensure return cus-tomers. The Williams Lake & District Cham-ber of Commerce can help. We offer many workshops depending on your needs. One workshop — a one day targeted customer ser-

vice — is called World-Host Fundamental. Give us a call and we can customize a work-shop made just for your type of business.

***The fourth annual

Made in the Cariboo Fair will be held Sat-urday, Nov. 23 at the Tourism Discovery Centre from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; a couple of spaces are still avail-able call 250-392-5025 or email [email protected].

***We invite members

to attend our AGM and election of officers during Small Business Month. This will be held Thursday, Oct. 31 from 11:45 a.m to 1 p.m. at Signal Point Restaurant. We ask that you help us and Signal Point by providing your RSVP by Tuesday; call 392-5025 to reserve your seat; $16 for mem-bers and $20 for guests.

Chamber meetings offer you the opportu-nity to meet other busi-nesses and talk about ideas and issues that you have in your work-place. Members are en-couraged to enter one of our draws and your business could be pro-filed in the next Cham-ber Chatter.

October Business Profile: Bolster Real Estate Investing —

Cheryl Chan

I have lived in Wil-liams Lake for 25 years. I am an educational assistant working with special needs students and my goal is to pro-vide long-term wealth for my family. My husband, Jamie, and I became real estate in-vestors three years ago. My name is Cheryl Chan; we are Bolster Real Estate Investing.

It’s about a dream or should I say, “Our

Belize.” It’s a collage of pictures on our wall. Places we want to travel to, activities we enjoy. “Our Belize” is we’re working towards our dreams.

We purchase real es-tate rentals, providing our clients with clean, safe and secure units. We are interested in Real Estate Rent to Own and Joint Venture deals. We do our own property management, renovations and main-tenance.

I became a member of the Chamber of Commerce to educate our business on what economical fundamen-tals are here; or com-ing, so we can continue to invest and grow in Williams Lake. We see a great future for us in real estate investing. As Dr. Wayne Dryer said, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

New gaming funds were announced for school parent advisory councils in the Wil-liams Lake and 100 Mile House areas last week, but there is some question about how the funds will be distrib-uted given school clo-sures and amalgama-tions.

School District 27 Superintendent Mark Thiessen said that at this point the district doesn’t have answers as to how the funding will be divided given the changes in the district or why some schools

are not on the list for PAC funding, but he will be examining the question.

The School District 27 District Parent Ad-visory Council and 21 school parent advisory councils in this area will share $99,980 in com-munity gaming grants from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

Victoria announced the funding Oct. 23 in press releases from Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes and Cariboo MLA Donna Barnett.

“Parent Advisory Councils are a great way for parents to get

involved in their chil-dren’s education, and they provide wonder-ful services that re-ally benefit students,” Barnett said. “These Community Gaming Grants help PACs in our region fund great programs and activities that enrich the lives of our children.”

Oakes reiterated the sentiment in her press release.

“Parent Advisory Councils make a big dif-ference for students, or-ganizing extra-curricu-lar activities like sports and field trips, invest-ing in playgrounds and sports equipment, and much more,” Oakes

said. “The funding that PACs receive through the Community Gam-ing Grant Program helps them continue to provide these great ser-vices for students.”

School PAC grants are based on student enrolment and are paid annually at $20 per stu-dent.

District Parent Ad-visory Councils, which are composed of mem-bers from each school PAC in a district, re-ceive $2,500 a year to fund educational and promotional materials, administrative costs, and assist communica-tion among schools, parents, students and the community.

Schools in the School District 27 area on the lists to receive PAC funding are as follows:

150 Mile House el-ementary: $5,700.

Horsefly Elemen-tary Junior Secondary: $1,080.

Wildwood elemen-tary: $500.

Cataline elementary: $6,500.

ementary/secondary: $420.

Forest Grove elemen-tary: $600.

Lac la Hache ele-mentary: $560.

Horse Lake elemen-tary: $3,080.

School PAC funding is based on last year’s enrolment figures which includes funding for Kwaleen, Glendale, and Buffalo Creek el-ementary schools that were closed this year, and for Columneetza and Williams Lake sec-ondary schools which are operating as one school on two campus-es this year.

Alexis Creek el-ementary/secondary; Anahim Lake elemen-tary/junior secondary; Big Lake elementary; Bridge Lake elementa-ry; Dog Creek elemen-tary/junior secondary; Likely elementary/ju-nior secondary; Horse Lake elementary; Naghtaneqed elemen-tary/junior secondary; and Tatla Lake elemen-tary/junior secondary were not on the fund-ing list.

They apply their hard work, skills and talents to such areas as arts and culture, sports and recreation, multiculturalism, en-vironment, healthcare, education, civic duty, business innovation, community volun-teerism, philanthropy and youth or seniors’ leadership.

The deadline on nominations for the prestigious B.C Achievement Awards

is coming up Friday, Nov. 15 and the foun-dation administering the awards is encour-aging community members across the province to make their nominations of worthy people in their commu-nities.

“Each year, we en-courage communities to consider their citi-zens who make a dif-ference,” said Keith Mitchell, BC Achieve-ment Foundation chair.

“Take the time to nominate the special people who contribute

to your communities — either as a volunteer or in the course of their work — and who in-spire by their example.”

Information about how to nominate is found at www.bc-achievement.com, by calling 604-261-9777 or toll free at 1-866 882-6088.

New for 2013 is an online nomination pro-cess.

Recipients are se-lected by an indepen-dent advisory council of community leaders based on the nominee’s contribution and com-

CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE

Fourth Junior Council Takes Oath of Office

The City of Williams Lake’s fourth group of Junior Councillors was sworn into office at the Oct. 22 Council meeting, bringing the total number of young people who have served in that capacity so far to 18.

Chief Administrative officer Darrell Garceau administered the oath of office to Monica Rawlek, Gagan Vaid, Brooklyn Thiessen, Rebekah Corbett, Hanna Hett, and Tanner Nickel, who will serve his second term on Junior Council. All six are students at Lake City Secondary School’s Carson campus.

The purpose of the Junior Council program is to provide an opportunity for the youth of Williams Lake to acquire a greater knowledge of and appreciation of the local government system through active participation in decision-making and to assist Council of the City of Williams Lake to obtain input from youth in decisions before Council.

Each year Junior Council sets learning goals and then chooses a project to work on. In 2011/12 Junior Council received group facilitator and leadership training and then led a workshop for adults on youth engagement and hosted a full day youth forum. In 2012/13 Junior Council worked on planning to develop a public outdoor ice rink for the community to use.

The City’s inaugural Junior Council began in April 2011. The Council is modeled after a similar program in the Town of Clearwater, where high school students organize and hold meetings, communicate to the City the issues, needs, and recommendations of the youth, and make presentations to City Council, among other initiatives.

The Cariboo-Chil-cotin Conservation Society is offering a free leaf litter pick-up service.

“Like most of you, the Cariboo Chil-cotin Conservation

Society’s Waste Wise program has enjoyed the beautiful fall co-lours of the season, but now it’s time to clean them up,” says program co-ordinator Brianna van de Wijn-

gaard.With most leaf lit-

ter going to the land-fill, she says Waste Wise wants people to know Waste Wise will gladly save you a trip and take it for you!

She says they can compost any clean leaf litter that doesn’t come from roads or parking lots and that is pre-bagged.

“Just give us a call or email, and we’ll

come pick it up from within city limits,” van de Wijngaard says. “Its free.”

Sawmills in Ques-nel and Houston are to be closed next year as their owners trade timber cutting rights to maintain compet-ing operations in the two B.C. Interior communities affected by mountain pine beetle infestation.

Canfor Corp. an-nounced it will close its Quesnel mill in March 2014, transfer-ring its forest licence for the region to West Fraser to supply logs to its recently rebuilt Quesnel mill. West Fraser announced it will close its Houston mill next year, trad-ing part of its cutting rights to Canfor to supply its Houston operation.

West Fraser CEO Ted Seraphim said in

a statement its Hous-ton closure will affect 225 employees. The company plans “ma-jor rebuilds” of its sawmills in 100 Mile House and Smith-ers, and is proceeding with a bioenergy proj-ects at its Fraser Lake and Chetwynd opera-tions.

“Our first priority is to explore oppor-tunities to transition Houston employees to one of our other operations, and we will provide assis-tance in finding new employment,” Sera-phim said.

Canfor CEO Don Kayne said the 209 employees at its Ques-nel mill will be offered positions elsewhere in the company.

“The additional fibre we have been able to secure in the exchange agreement

with West Fraser en-hances the fibre re-quirements for our Houston facility,” Kayne said.

Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad, who chaired a review of Interior timber supplies in the wake of last year’s explo-sion and fire at Babine Forest Products in Burns Lake, said he expected the decision to reduce mill capac-ity in the Quesnel re-gion.

“The surprise is the closure of the Hous-ton mill, from my per-spective,” Rustad said. “I think West Fraser has always been look-ing at how they want to move the wood be-tween the three mills, but when we looked at the opportunities in the Houston area on the timber supply component, there was

a significant amount of wood in that area, and our hope was it would continue to support two mills.”

Rustad said the de-

cision last December to provide timber for Oregon-based Hamp-ton Affiliates to re-build its Burns Lake sawmill “had only

very minimal impact” on supply for the oth-er mills in the region.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson was scheduled to return

Friday from a lumber trade mission in Ja-pan and China, along with industry execu-tives from across the province.

The strength of any curling club lies in its youth.

That’s why, for the past seven years, Frank Giesbrecht has volunteered part of almost ev-ery Sunday to help teach the sport to the city’s fledgling curl-ers as coach of the Williams Lake Curling Club’s junior pro-gram.

“These days you can come

out here to the club on any giv-en night and the average age of a curler is quite older — 40-plus in years — so our goal is to try to get as many 30-something curlers as possible, bring their kids in, and the club will grow,” Giesbrecht said.

“The Williams Lake Curl-ing Club is a community-based organization and to serve the community is our goal and the better we can do that the better we all are.”

The junior curling program, which began Oct. 21 and runs every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. until spring break, currently has close to 10 curlers registered.

Giesbrecht said the program focuses on having fun and teaching strategy, tactics and fundamentals, and invited any-one interested in trying out the sport to join the group on Sun-day.

“We get them on the ice and

moving around and having fun,” he said.

“It’s not the end of the world if you don’t do it right because pretty much everyone is not do-ing it right.”

Giesbrecht, meanwhile, said he loves teaching the sport and has seen several curlers from Williams Lake go on to play at a highly competitive level.

and Lexi Swan trav-elled to Victoria to compete at the provin-cial championships. Earlier this January Gubrandson, Elisa and Swan joined Sar-ah Green in 100 Mile House at the Juvenile Girls Zone Playdowns.

“I enjoy this a ton,” he said. “It’s what I do. I spend a lot of my time here in the win-ter. We sort of say in curling that it’s a sport that is from eight to 80 … you can start as young as eight, like we’ve got here,

or you can curl until you’ve got a foot in the grave.”

Jonas Gagnon photoWilliams Lake Stampeders forward Nathan Zurak looks to beat a check and also Quesnel Kangaroos’ netminder Ryan Manderson Saturday at the Twin Ice Arenas in Quesnel.

Kangaroos edge Stamps to take over first in division

The Williams Lake Stampeders lost the third of five scheduled regular season meet-ings with the Ques-nel Kangaroos on the road Saturday.

The defeat leaves the Stamps behind two games to one in the season series.

Quesnel’s Justin Fulton dominated the contest in the final frame to pot three of his five goals — the third coming on an empty net — and sev-en points (5-2-7) to propel the Kangaroos past the Stampeders, 7-5.

For Williams Lake

defenseman Brent McIsaac led all scor-ers with two goals and two assists for four points (2-2-4).

The weekend set-back allowed the Kan-garoos to leapfrog Williams Lake to the top of the standings in the Central Interior Hockey League East Division.

In seven games so far the Kangaroos have four wins and three losses.

The Stampeders, with one game less played, have three wins, two losses and one overtime loss, and are one point back of

the ‘Roos in the divi-sion.

Saturday, Quesnel jumped out to an early 3-0 lead with goals from Tyrell Turgeon (1-2-3), Cory Grabovs-ki (1-1-2) and Fulton before Nathan Zurak (1-1-2) and Matt Lees (1-1-2) cut the deficit back to one early in the second period.

Fulton added his second of the night — a shorthanded goal — near the midway mark of the second period before Jassi Sangha (1-1-2) and Brent Mc-Isaac, with two, gave Williams Lake a 5-4 lead heading into the

final frame.There, Fulton scored

three unanswered goals to seal the win for Quesnel.

Williams Lake’s Justin Foote faced 27 shots, while Ques-nel’s Ryan Manderson turned aside 28 of 33 in the winning effort.

The Stampeders will have a chance for re-venge this Friday, Nov. 1, when the ‘Roos visit the Cariboo Memo-rial Recreation Com-plex in Williams Lake for the fourth meeting between the two clubs this season.

Puck drop is 7:30 p.m.

They couldn’t have gone out any better way. Playing in their final match in PACWEST, the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s soccer team captured their third straight league title.

TRU sweeper, 150 Mile House fourth-year player Laura Smylie, was named the Playoff MVP.

The WolfPack, who move to CIS in 2014 downed the Quest Ker-modes 1-0 at Mariner Field in Nanaimo on Sunday. It was the first time in three years TRU won the gold medal in regulation time.

“The girls did what they had to do,” said WolfPack head coach Tom McManus, a three time PACWEST coach of the year.

“The conditions were similar to what we faced at last years Nationals in Prince Ed-ward Island — a howl-ing wind. But the girls were smart and efficient and did their job.”

The lone goal of the match came in the 38th minute. PACWEST all-star Kelsey Martin (second year, midfield, Kamloops) took a cor-ner kick from the left side of the field. Katie Sparrow (third year, forward, Kamloops) was able to put the ball past Quest keeper Tiana Gilchrist (North

Vancouver). It was Sparrow’s second goal in as many matches.

In the second half, Quest pressed the Wolf-Pack trying to score the equalizer.

“The wind was defi-nitely a factor,” McMa-nus said.

“At one point, we were buzzing around their net and Gilchrist made a save off Alanna Bekkering (fifth year, midfield, Kamloops). Both looked at each other and shook their head because of the wind gusts.”

Emily Edmundson (fourth year, keeper, Kamloops) got the shutout.

“She came up with a few big saves, especially late for us,” McManus added.

Bekkering, for her play in the tournament, was named top mid-fielder.

Smylie, meanwhile, had a hat trick in the team’s semifinal victory over Langara on Satur-day.

“Laura looked puzzled when they an-nounced her name,” the

TRU coach laughed. “I think she thought

they read out the wrong name. But she was so consistent all weekend and came up with the big kicks when we need-ed them.”

When asked to com-pare his three champi-onship teams, McMa-nus said: “The first two teams had talent and a lot of passion. This year’s club has been great in so many ways — from the chemistry to their ability. We will definitely miss Laura, Alanna and Vanessa (Zilkie, third year, Kelowna) next season.”

The WolfPack will take a couple of days off before beginning to prepare for the 2013 Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association championships, which will be hosted by Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey be-ginning Nov. 6.

With the PACWEST title victory TRU runs its overall 2013 record to 15 wins and two ties. They have won their last six matches in a row.

SafetyTips

Safe ways to trick-or-treatWhat would

Halloween be without trick-or-treating? For youngsters, so much of the fun of Halloween involves scouring the neighbourhood with friends in search of candy. While children may have their eyes on the sweet prize, parents may be concerned about their little ones’ safety.In Canada, an

average of three million trick-or-treaters venture out every year across the country. Such a high number of people out on the streets increases the risk of injury, and it can be easy for kids to get lost as well.Halloween is an

important night for parents to be extra vigilant. But Halloween

seems to lessen one’s inhibitions, and wearing a costume and being hidden from others can encourage some revelers to engage in atypical and unsafe behaviors. To ensure everyone has a safe and fun Halloween, here are some safety tips to follow.* Go in groups.

Children can be accompanied by their parents while older children should be encouraged to trick-or-treat in groups. Should an emergency occur, having a group of friends around

enables someone to call for help or alert an adult.* Use a

flashlight. When trick-or-treating at night, take steps to improve visibility. This includes using reflective tape on costumes and carrying a flashlight or glow sticks so that other pedestrians

as well as drivers will be able to see children.* Walk on

sidewalks. Wherever possible, trick-or-treaters should use sidewalks and crosswalks. Avoid walking in the street, where the risk of being hit by a car is considerable. Twice as many

kids are hit by a car while walking on Halloween than any other day of the year.* Avoid

distractions. Trick-or-treaters should not be wearing earbuds or talking on a phone while trick-or-treating. They should be paying attention to their surroundings and

using caution.* Do not enter

homes. If an adult or even a youngster whom a child does not know offers entry to the home, the trick-or-treater should not enter. Let kids know they should only enter the homes of known friends, and even then they should only do so after getting permission from a parent.* Consume

only factory-wrapped treats. Well-meaning people may hand out cupcakes or marshmallow cereal treats. The ingredients such people use and the safety of these treats cannot be confirmed, so it is best to stick with store-bought items instead.* Wear well-

fitting shoes. Shoes that are uncomfortable or loose can cause children to fall and risk injury.* Adults should

drive carefully. All drivers should slow down and anticipate children darting out into the roadways on Halloween. Drive slowly and pay attention to the roads.

Anne Theresa White has been mentoring young writers in the community for several years.

Her daily walks at the Scout Island Na-ture Centre feed her creative spirit.

She has even writ-ten a magical chil-dren’s book set there.

During the school fall break in Novem-ber White and Scout Island Nature Centre staff naturalist, Paula Laita, will combine

nature walks and outdoor games with writing activities to nurture the expressive potential of partici-pating children.

The course is open for children ages seven to 14 and will run Nov.

13, 14, and 15 from 1 to 4 p.m. each day.

“Join us for a no-pressure exploration of writing about what we see, feel and dis-cover while playing in nature,” invites nature centre manager Sue

Hemphill. Group size is lim-

ited. Register early by phoning 398-8532 or emailing [email protected].

Cost is $10 per ses-sion or $25 for all three sessions.

Drugstore Cowgirl book launch Friday

Pat McKay’s recent-ly-published book, Drugstore Cowgirl Ad-ventures in the Cariboo Chilcotin, tells the sto-ry of a young woman’s transatlantic move from life in England working at the BBC, to life in the Cariboo wilderness working as a ranch cook.

The book title is based on the expres-sion “drugstore cow-boy” which describes a a “wannabe” cowboy who buys his cowboy outfit in a drugstore.

McKay will sign copies of her book at the Open Book this Friday, Nov. 1 starting at 1:30 p.m.

McKay’s book in-cludes entertaining ref-erences to local people and local ranches.

When she arrived at her first job as a ranch cook, she said that everybody was in for a big surprise. Her new employer had no idea she didn’t actually know how to cook and she had no idea what it meant to live in a bunk house as a ranch hand.

“I grew up watch-ing cowboy movies; we didn’t have a lot of

money growing up, but if we were lucky we got to see a movie for kids on Saturday morning for six pence.”

In her 20s she worked at the BBC, and had a friend there who was coming to Canada.

“I saw an advertise-ment for a cook in the Cariboo region of B.C. and knew I wanted to go,” McKay says.

“I had always want-ed to go where the John Wayne movies were made. My mom and dad said they would always help if I needed it. ‘If it’s your

dream, you go,’ my dad said.’”

She arrived in the Cariboo in 1964 and for several years worked at places like the 70 Mile House Fly-ing U Guest Ranch, Pollard’s Guest Ranch just north of Clinton and Hanceville Guest Ranch three miles from Lee’s Corner.

Resilient and re-sourceful, enchanted with her new life, she adapted and thrived. She shares tales of skinny dipping, wild kitchen misadventures and her first wobbly-kneed ride on a horse.

There is romance, mystery, history and music, as well as cap-tivating characters and vivid descriptions of an era when a hand-shake sealed a deal, when you needed your neighbours to sur-vive whether you liked them or not, and when a rodeo and a good country dance were the heart of a community.

“I think a lot of peo-ple want to be cowgirls and cowboys,” McKay says.

“I love it here. In my experience there was great honour among cowboys and a certain

standard.“Your handshake

was good enough for any business transac-tion and you never shot anyone in the back.”

Although she says she never became a “real” cowgirl, she states that she did marry a couple of cowboys. Her second husband John was a big, gentle cowboy who ranched in Red-stone for many years. “I worked at the lo-cal school and knew of John through his children. I met John square dancing in Wil-liams Lake and we were together for 35 years. At one point we moved to Gibsons and farmed there for 25 years,” she continued.

Now back in Wil-liams Lake, she con-tinues to write and has another book “in the wings.”

“What I’ve tried to convey in the book is the feeling of freedom, and the feeling of sup-port from your neigh-bors and your commu-nity.

“When you’re in trouble there will be someone to help you; people rely on each other for survival.”

HAVE ROTOR-TILLER: Will travel

Chris HornbySpecial to Tribune/Advisor


SPIN or Small Plot INtensive Farming arrived in Williams Lake this spring with a new resi-dent from Victoria.

Brianna van de Wijngaard invested in a truck, rotor-tiller, tools, seed and other garden sup-plies and enlisted the co-oper-ation of a few willing property owners, to start her SPIN farm-ing business, Puddle Produce Ur-ban Farms.

Her father came up from Vic-toria last March to help Brianna get settled here and together they built a greenhouse on one of her lease properties.

“I couldn’t have done it with-out him,” Brianna says.

All the seeds Brianna used were either certified organic, and/or GMO-free.

Her seed suppliers range from West Coast Seeds and Stellar Seeds here in B.C., to Mumm’s in Saskatchewan and Johnny’s Seeds in the U.S.

She sold some of the bedding plants at the city’s Seedy Saturday event May 4 and saved the rest of the plants for her gardens.

Brianna tilled and planted 4,500 square feet of garden space on four privately owned proper-ties in Williams Lake.

She rotor-tilled the plots twice, raked out the sod, then added well-seasoned manure and com-post before forming the beds.

In exchange for use of their property, the owners were given a weekly supply of in-season veg-gies.

Brianna sold the rest of the produce she grew at the Cariboo Growers Food Co-op, through direct sales and at the Friday farmer’s markets.

While her record keeping may not be perfect in this first year of operation Brianna estimates she raised and sold about 700 ki-lograms or approximately 1,540 pounds of produce.

She grew 14 types of vegetables including lettuce, radishes, car-rots, tomatoes, beets, summer and winter squash types, pea and sunflower shoots, zucchini, and five types of potatoes.

She also grew the tiny Cariboo potatoes at the Potato House gar-den for the non-profit society.

In keeping with this closer to home market garden approach to farming and conserving ener-gy, Brianna used her bicycle and trailer for about 75 per cent of

her farm operations.“I’m aiming higher next year,”

says Brianna, who is also the community liaison for the Cari-boo Chilcotin Conservation So-ciety’s Water and Waste Wise programs.

Brianna says she didn’t en-counter very many pests at all this year, but did have some deer come through and trample some of her garden beds in September.

“They didn’t even really eat anything,” Brianna says. “Just trampled some beds!”

Brianna says she recouped about 50 per cent of her start-up costs this season, and is looking forward to continuing her SPIN farming project next year with the aim of making a profit.

She hopes to expand the pro-gram and eventually offer a box-a-week program for clients.

“Box a week is definitely some-thing I will do in the future – hopefully by 2015,” Brianna says.

One of the places she will plant a garden next summer will be at the Seniors’ Village. “That is quite exciting,” Brianna says.

Raised in Victoria, Brianna be-gan working on organic farms in the Bella Coola Valley in 2011, before moving to Williams Lake for a short contract with the Cari-boo Regional District that same year.

Back in Victoria she worked on other urban and peri-urban farms while studying plant and soil health and obtaining certifi-

cation as an organic master gar-dener from Gaia College.

Meanwhile she kept in touch with the experienced farmers she had met here in Williams lake.

“I always knew I wanted to come back to Williams Lake, and SPIN farming provided the perfect opportunity to return,” Brianna says. “I discovered SPIN and that was that.”

Brianna is also the community liaison for the Cariboo-Chilcotin Conservation Society’s Water and Waste Wise programs.

SPIN Farming is a non-techni-cal, easy to learn and inexpensive method of vegetable and fruit farming that makes it possible for a farmer to earn a living wage from land plots under an acre in size.

Local farmer Micheal Atwood says this type of small-plot farm-ing was done during war time to produce fresh produce for fami-lies and the troops.

Today’s SPIN farming ap-proach to urban land use was initiated by rural Saskatchewan farmers turned urban farm-ers Wally Satzewich and Gail Vandersteen.

They discovered they made more on the organic radishes and salad mix they grew in their city backyard than on the rows of vegetables they were trying to protect from pests, pestilence and wind in their large commercial gardens.

Five to 600 people attended the Horsefly River Salmon Festi-val, on the Sept. 28/29 weekend.

We had lots of vol-unteers to help opera-tions to run smoothly.

There was a large family participation, and we feel the young people are learning valuable information regarding the river and all the contribut-ing factors to a healthy system.

The Arts on the Fly entertainment on Saturday night at the Horsefly Community Hall was excellent; and the festival was attend-ed by two CRD rep-resentatives who were suitably impressed with our salmon trail and the festival.

Sam Albers, our channel manager gave walking tours along the trail which went very well.

Next year we will have folk stationed right at the spawning channel to provide in-formation.

We are not sure if we are getting the same folks out year after year, or if new faces appearing. Perhaps we should have a guest book.

The general consen-sus is that BC Rivers

Day is a good choice for the festival, and there was ongoing dis-cussion as to whether the festival should be for only one day, but because of some peo-ple working Saturday.

It was decided to continue with the two day event.

Steve Hocquard gave a glowing report of the Woodjam Creek repairs, indicating that the co-operation given by the Louis Seelhof

with his excavator and labour was invaluable and the project is a tribute to the accom-plishments that can be achieved with owner participation.

The new 50-meter route for the creek was immediately inhabited by Kokanee and trout, and it was suggested to tour the site after the spring freshets, and open it to interested community members.

The work had the

full approval of North-ern Shuswap Tribal Council.

Funding was provid-ed by Pacific Salmon Foundation and De-partment of Fisheries and Oceans.

DFO and NSTC provided valuable in-put to the process as well.

Our proposal to the Land Conservancy regarding the manage-ment of the Horsefly River Riparian Con-servation Area is not in place yet but is on-going, and we are still researching a better outhouse system and location.

Our meetings will continue to be held at the Horsefly Library every third Thursday of the month with the exception being De-cember when no meet-ing will take place. Much concern was expressed regarding director liability for the campground be-cause of young teens drinking and partying at the location during the AOF festival. This responsibility will be investigated.

At the Nov. 21 meeting members are asked to bring ideas for short, medium and long-term goals for the Roundtable to strive for.

See you at the next meeting!
