B.C.’s striking teachers are expected to vote this week on a tentative settlement with the provincial government. Mediator Vince Ready announced the agreement early Tuesday morning after five days of talks at a Richmond hotel. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the province’s negotiators agreed to withhold details until they have a final document to present, he said. In Williams Lake, with the announcement there may be light at the end of the teacher dispute tunnel, nine-year-old Rachel Loewen said Tuesday she is ready to get back in the classroom. Sitting in a doctor’s waiting room with her grandmother, Rachel said: “Yeah. I am so excited to be going back to school. I have wanted to go back from the very beginning.” The student’s sentiments were echoed on the picket line as news about the tentative deal began to filter out into media. Standing at the Williams Lake Secondary Campus on Carson Avenue, Andy Riegl, staff representative and Cariboo Chilcotin Teachers’ Association bargaining chair, said he’d heard some of the news by Tuesday morning. “One of our Kamloops bargaining members said the agreement is something we could live with. It’s not going to be wonderful and it will be a compromise.” - With files from Tom Fletcher

Bushman eyes mayor’s chair Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The race for mayor in Williams Lake could be interesting, particularly now that the Bushman of the Shuswap has announced he plans to run for mayor. John Bjornstrom, 54, told the Tribune Tuesday he wanted to run in 2011, but missed filing his papers in time. Bjornstrom was in the news more than a decade ago when he was a fugitive on a two-year run from police after stealing from cabins in the Shuswap Lake area. He admitted his reputation as the Bushman will most likely come up during the campaign. “Things happen in life and you either move on or drown dwelling in it,” he said. “I can use it to my benefit. Everything you’ve done in
John Bjornstrom life comes along and either bites you or blesses you.” Bjornstrom said he probably looks at things differently than a lot of people with a regular platform, however, he believes he can do a good job and be good for people. So far he’s had no experience inside the political arena, and described his foray into

running for mayor as an adventure. “City politics has always interested me because it’s about helping your town move forward,” he said. Ever since he posted his intent to run for mayor on his Facebook page on Sept. 10. The story has been picked up by national news outlets. “It’s gone crazy,” he said. “Tonight [Sept. 16] I am supposed to be interviewed by Global News at city hall.” Bjornstrom has been living in Williams Lake since 2002, although he attended high school here back in the 1970s. He hauls logs back and forth from Williams Lake to Anahim Lake. So far two other candidates are in the race — present councillor Surinderpal Rathor and Mayor Kerry Cook.

Three more black bears destroyed on city streets Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A black bear sow and her two cubs were destroyed last weekend in Williams Lake near Eleventh and Twelfth Avenue. Their demise came a few days after three other bears met the same fate. The sow was killed first around 3 a.m. Saturday and the cubs later at around 4 p.m., said Sgt. Len Butler of the Conservation Officer Services Monday. Many residents in the neighbourhood heard the cubs crying
throughout the day. Some watched the cubs come frantically running into their yards, most likely confused and looking for their mom. “A trap had been set, and officers had been going to the area because several complaints were coming in,” Butler said. “Officers and the WildSafeBC co-ordinator were trying to get people to clean up their yards, but the bears became so habituated that they didn’t stand a chance.” Since news of the bears being destroyed has surfaced the COS
People can vent on the CO service all they want, but the reality is that people will not change their habits and bears are going to die.” - Len Butler has received some negative feedback from people calling in, Butler said. “People can vent on the CO service all they want, but the reality is that people will not change their habits
and bears are going to die. We don’t move black bears because the science and experience say it’s wrong, so what are we going to do?” Butler said COs took a drive Saturday
and couldn’t believe how much unpicked and dumped fruit there was in back alleys. “In Quesnel it’s getting to a point where we may have to advise that we are going
to start issuing fines to people not cleaning their attractants,” Butler said, adding there isn’t any other recourse. “Why would the bears leave?” Additionally the neighourhood is home to dozens of large crabapple trees planted in the 1970s by the city along the edge of properties being newly developed at a time when that type of tree was approved. When asked if the city might consider removing the trees because they are a bear attractant, the city’s communications coordinator Ken Ma-
cInnis said the city only removes dead or dangerous trees about to fall down. And when it comes to removing the fruit the onus is on the property owner, MacInnis confirmed. Around 20 bear complaints a day are coming in to the (Report all Poachers and Pollutors) RAPP line for the Williams Lake and 150 Mile House areas, Butler confirmed saying he was away all last week dealing with grizzly bears in downtown Bella Coola that officers managed to chase out to the river.

Likely residents question mine on sewage concerns Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Concerns that sewage held in the Mount Polley tailing storage facility would have been part of the Aug. 4 breach have led to several inquiries from residents who get their water from Quesnel Lake. “Some people had some E. coli analysis done and had some questions at the community

open house last week about what are safe levels for E. coli,” Rob Britles, environmental health specialist with Interior Health, told the Tribune Monday. “The message we’ve been giving is if you’ve got an intake from surface water anywhere in B.C. you should be disinfecting your water.” Through a permit with the Ministry of Environment, the mine is authorized to discharge sewage into a septic tank and then to the tailings storage facility and has been doing so for years. In a statement, the company said it is confident the results of one or two MPN per 100 ml are consistent with readings back as far as 2010. “The bottom line is

The view from the dock at Likely looking toward Quesnel Lake. that we are confident that elevated e-coli readings are not coming from the tailings breach, which is the reason that we discontinued sampling for that,” Imperial Metals vice-president of corporate affairs Steve Robertson told the Tribune Saturday. He also said the company is not in a position to make a recommendation about
drinking the water as it relates to E. coli counts and strongly recommended residents discuss the matter with Interior Health. “The sewage volume was small in comparison to the tailings volume,” he added. On Monday, Mount Polley Mining Corporation responded to numerous inquiries about sew-

age disposal at the mine site and the potential for bacterial contamination by posting a FAQ sheet on its website. Britles said E. coli is an indicator measure associated with fecal matter from warm blooded mammals and birds. It is used because it’s quite simple and easy to test for. Water is tested for E. coli and total coliforms for two reasons which are to ensure drinking water treatment is working and for recreational water guidelines such as at beaches where people are swimming. Robertson confirmed the company continues to monitor water quality in Quesnel Lake for substances related to the breach, such as turbidity and metals. Meanwhile, Highlands Irrigation Ltd.’s owner manager Dick Ford said his company has been installing filtration units for residents, a move that came after MPMC agreed to cover the costs. The filter goes in the water system after the pump and before the utilities of the home. It’s pretty straight forward, he explained. “We installed 10 so far, have one significant order in and will have another one following and of course we’re installing them as fast as we can get through the work.” The Ministry of Environment did not respond to the Tribune’s request for information about permits for sewage in tailings storage facilities by press time.

Hospital centennial well attended
Get ready for Canada Winter Games

G
ood turn out at the Alexis Creek Hospital centennial reunion on Saturday. Some of us were surprised to realize we are now the “old folks.’’ I was a patient in the hospital twice. Once for a week for the birth of Son #4, (the nurse, Kathleen Telford, known to my children as Nurse Granny, didn’t believe in sending mothers French home asap). Some Connection time later, again Diana French with Mrs. T, I had some kind of flu/ infection with a high temperature and she nursed me through that. She also saw Son#2 through a tick bite (often fatal in those days). A goodly number of people were born in the hospital. My sister-in-law Mary Knoll may hold a record, though. She was born there, later worked there, and her first child was born there. I hadn’t been out to the Chilcotin for a while but it is just as big and beautiful as it was when I first saw it in September 1951. *** Two things have been bugging me lately. One is the wide variation in reports on the Mount Polley Mine tailings pond breach. Deciding who to believe was resolved last Friday when the Freshwater Alliance and the Council of Canadians hosted an hour-long program on YouTube. Speakers Jacinda Mack from Xat’sull First Nation, Amy Cook from Fair Mining BC, and Ramsey Hart from Mining Watch Canada had the latest information. It is well worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v =Nff6DZ0VZAg&feature=youtu.be Thing # 2 is the number of teacher-scoffers who claim class size can’t be a problem because there were 30 kids in a class when they went to school and everyone did OK. Well, I attended a school once with 48 kids in grades one to eight (it was known as the worst school on the B.C. coast) and I turned out OK, too. I even taught some large classes BUT anyone who does some homework will learn it’s a very, VERY different world today, and classrooms reflect that.

Our Viewpoint
Canada joins fight against ISIS It’s been 11 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. and here we find ourselves once again as Canadians being asked to support a war in Iraq. The latest threat facing the Free World comes in the form of another radical Islamic group called ISIS or ISIL (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant). Like other radical groups in the Middle East before it, ISIS hides behind its religion as an excuse to kill others. But unlike many other groups, ISIS has shown a level of shocking savagery we just don’t witness every day. Whether we liked it or not, Canadians were introduced to the group last month when ISIS beheaded American journalist James Foley and released the gruesome video over the Internet with a message warning Americans to halt airstrikes in Iraq. A month later ISIS sent another chilling message with the murder and video release of a second American journalist, Steven Sotloff. And just as President Obama started canvassing for allies in the growing fight against ISIS, the militant group terrorized potential supporters of the U.S. with the killing of
British aid worker David Haines. ISIS shows no bounds. If this group can ruthlessly kill innocent journalists and aid workers, it will stop at nothing to get what it wants. As Canadians, we are obliged to help the U.S. when asked. As a free society we simply have no choice but to act against such human atrocities taking place in Syria and Iraq. It is said ISIS is making $3 million per day in the sale of oil. You can be sure that money will go a long ways in strengthening the group’s numbers and global power, even allowing it to buy and sell hostages captured around the world. Leaders from 30 countries around the world met in France this week and said they will join the alliance to overtake ISIS, Canada included. As French President François Hollande said earlier this week, ISIS is a global threat that requires a global response. As we saw a weeks ago when former Kamloops TRU students were identified as ISIS fighters, no country nor community will be immune from this latest war. - Angie Mindus/Williams Lake Tribune

inter is still a few months away, but the anticipation and excitement of the upcoming 2015 Canada Winter Games is growing every day. We are now less than 150 days until the north is illuminated with hundreds of athletes and thousands of spectators coming to Prince George to experiMLA ence what Prince George and Musings Northern B.C. Donna Barnett has to offer. Williams Lake, while not competing for gold in any of the sporting events, is also in competition in the Canada Winter Games. Quesnel and Williams Lake were chosen to be host cities for the Torch Relay Celebration Challenge representing the Cariboo region. While voting has just closed, I know many of us in Williams Lake never bow down to a friendly challenge with our friends in Quesnel. We will just have to wait until Sept. 24, but hopefully the votes were in our favour. But in all seriousness, the Canada Winter Games has united First Nations hosting competitions on traditional territory, communities throughout Northern B.C. and the entire province. This competition will allow us to showcase our beautiful scenery, hospitable people and the bright future that our region has for many decades to come. If you are interested in attending the winter games, tickets and passes are on sale now. This is one of the largest amateur winter sport competitions being held this year, with many alumni becoming professional athletes or competing on the world stage as future Olympians. In rural and smaller towns across Canada, junior and amateur sport is a part of the community. There is no better place to host the Canada Winter Games than Prince George. I wish the organizers, athletes and volunteers the best of luck between now and the start of competition as they prepare to put on a great show for all of us. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Seriousness of mine breach questioned Editor: I went to my first Imperial Metals Mount Polley Mine meeting. They gave an informative talk on what has been done, is being done and what will be done later to clean up and fix the damages caused by the dam breaking. Thanks to Mr. Gainer for saying what he did about Mount Polley mine. His speech was the only one that made sense. An environmentalist and fisheries person asked the same questions over and didn’t seem to understand the answers given. One wanted to know what’s going to be done to compensate local residents about their water and health from stress. They were told there is free water available for them and filter systems would be installed for people taking water from
Quesnel Lake or River. Thirty years ago I was watching the salmon run in the Horsefly River and asked a fisheries guy if the salmon that came up with parts missing on them, which I hadn’t seen before then, was caused by the pollution in the Fraser River. He said he couldn’t say and walked away. That told me I was right, so don’t blame the mine runoff for polluting the Fraser or fish. We aren’t allowed to eat tuna from the ocean more than one or two times a week because of the ocean pollution. People have a short memory of what Williams Lake and area was like when Gibraltar Mine and Mount Polley Mine weren’t in operation. Likely was almost a ghost town and there was no employment. People were leaving this province to go to Alberta for work.
The mine disaster wasn’t an environmental catastrophe. It never ruined homes or took lives. It could have been a lot worse. The salmon will keep spawning and Hazeltine Creek will be better than it was before. Quesnel Lake will still be the same as it always has been, the logs are being cleaned up, the beaches, too. Things can’t be done overnight but they will get it done. People should think positive not negative about Mount Polley Mine and what good it has done for people. People should back them up and let them get done, and in operation to employ people again. People living in Likely aren’t the only ones under stress, a lot of unemployed people are too.
In September 1994, I received a phone call from a Rodni Binder from Kamloops asking me if I was interested in bringing the Internet to Williams Lake. Of course my first question was what is the Internet? He proceeded to explain and I was definitely intrigued. I got set up with an account out of Kamloops through dial up and started using the Internet with amazement. Back then, the Internet was text only in black and white but was promising to be much more. In the month of October, I received my phone bill from BC Tel and it totalled more than $800 due to all the

long distance. By November, I put my order into BC Tel for a five megabit fibre line. In the first week of January 1995, Rodni Binder and I set up a show and tell at the Overlander Hotel on the subject of the Internet and connectivity through dial up and it took Williams Lake by storm. By March of 1995 the Internet connectivity was in and I started to sign customers up to my local dial up for April 1, 1995. Many changes have come and gone with regards to how the Internet was being used going from black and white text to what you find now such as video conferencing with friends and family, using Skype
?
to watching weekly television series and much, much more. Is the Internet good or bad? As with everything, you can find both good and bad, but you do have considerably more access to worldly knowledge and it is your choice which way to use it. I introduced the Internet to Williams Lake and I feel responsible for doing so. I hope that the future will direct the Internet towards a great and useful direction instead of leading everyone down a darker path. This is Nick Sardy at the Computer Access Centre logging off.

Polley mine restart critical Editor: As the stories swirl around the devastating failure of the Polley Mine tailings pond, there is a lingering and equally concerning issue facing our communities and particularly employees and their families. The unknown is both stressful and devastating to these workers as they wait not knowing if today is their last day of work. Many of these mine employees have relocated to the Cariboo with their families because of the lifestyle the Cariboo offers. It would be a major calamity for these employees to have
to make the decision to relocate again and leave their dreams behind. Mount Polley has submitted a plan for restart of the mining operations and it’s up to government to allow the re-start while securing of the tailings pond continues while dealing with the effects of the spill itself. Mine employees, contractors and suppliers and our communities would be better served if the mine re-starts and in doing so prevents an even worse economic impact, which will compound the problems we face today.

NOTICE OF APPLICATIONS FOR SCRUTINEERS
CENTRAL CARIBOO POOL RENOVATION & UPGRADE ASSENT VOTING
On Saturday, November 15, 2014, qualified electors within the Central Cariboo Recreation and Leisure Services Area will be voting on the following question: Are you in favour of the Cariboo Regional District adopting Bylaws 4906 and 4907, which will authorize the borrowing of up to $10 million over 20 years and increase the Central Cariboo Recreation and Leisure Services annual taxation limit to a maximum of the greater of $3,500,000 or $1.98/$1,000 of assessed value of land and improvements, to provide for the upgrade and renovation of the pool and amenities at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex? (Based on 2014 assessed values, the estimated annual cost to undertake this borrowing and operate the upgraded pool translates to a residential tax rate increase of approximately $40/$100,000. The new taxation limit for recreation services of $3,500,000 translates to a residential tax rate of $148/$100,000 of the net taxable assessed value of land and improvements.) Scrutineers for and against the question must be appointed if applications are received from persons who wish to volunteer for the positions. Only persons entitled to vote as electors on the question shown above are entitled to act as scrutineers. If sufficient applications are received, one scrutineer for and one scrutineer against the question will be appointed for each voting place. One scrutineer for the question and one scrutineer against the question will also be appointed to be present at the determination of the official results and, if necessary, at a judicial recount.

More Viewpoints Teachers’ dispute needs to end Editor: As a B.C. resident, I have been involved with schools and education in a variety of ways. I was a longtime parent volunteer and then a public health nurse, a healthy schools co-ordinator and a nursing supports services co-ordinator (for special needs children) in my region. During that time, I observed the dedication and compassion with which teachers interacted with their students. I know that
the majority of teachers work long hours, and that often the resources used are bought by the teachers themselves because the resource budget given to them is not adequate for the student needs. I was involved with the transition of special needs students into the classroom. While I believe totally in the concept of inclusion for all children, the way it is being implemented today often does not meet the needs. The concept of inclusion means that
every child is included and supported within the education system so that every child has an equal opportunity to develop physically, emotionally and academically to the extent of his/her abilities. While students with the designation of autism or down syndrome may have adequate teacher aide support, the children with undiagnosed medical conditions or those children with behavioural problems increase the work load for the teachers but usually do not
receive teacher’s aide support for their conditions. When teachers receive inadequate support, it means that all children in the classroom can be negatively impacted too. This is the reason why class size and composition in the classroom is so important. In my opinion, the standoff between the British Columbia government and the B.C. Teacher’s Federation in terms of bargaining in good faith is a travesty. I am totally disgusted by this turn of events, and
lobby both the B.C. government and the BCTF to end this quickly. I would also like to encourage every parent and interested person to lobby the involved parties to work together efficiently and comprehensively to reach a collaborative settlement of this issue. In addition to that send a letter or e-mail to your MLA indicating your displeasure with this situation. Joan Broderick Williams Lake
Careless disregard for environment in opinion piece Editor: I am neither against mining, nor an environmentalist, but find Donald Leung’s Aug. 20 letter to the editor simplistic and uninformed at best. First, there were not a few thousand litres of water spilt. There were allegedly 10 million cubic metres (that’s 10 billion litres) and another four billion litres of slurry that flowed downstream. Second, if the sludge in the tailing ponds
of mines were safe for the environment, there would be little reason to have regulations in place to curtail and contain such. Of course the minerals and metals in the sludge occur in nature, but not in the same density and composition as in a tailings pond. However, what really struck me about Mr. Leung’s opinion piece was his statement “In a year natural vegetation re-growth will render the incident almost undetectable.” What was wiped out by the mass
of water and slurry was not a bamboo field. If he believes that the trees, many of them of mature growth, will grow back in a year, I would encourage Mr. Leung to visit the affected area next year so he can see for himself that the trees may not grow back within his lifetime. Coupled with his statement “it’s not unlike any other naturally occurring mud slide,” Mr. Leung not only shows disrespect to the residents of the affected areas but invariably leads

one to question what his real motives are. Many similar letters from Mr. Leung have appeared in various publications, all the way to Quebec. Furthermore, he has written a number of letters advocating strong support for the mining industry, in one article even going as far as to suggest pouring government money into mining instead of training more teachers (Royal City Record May 20). In yet another letter, published March 11 in the “Province,” in his
reaction to “New Prosperity” being denied an operating permit, Mr. Leung states: “Every possible environmental precaution is in place. There is no reason on earth to say no to it.” Oh, really? Mr. Leung’s incessant effort to promote mining, with complete disregard for the environment, evokes the question as to which special interest group is he associated with? Bernd Eisele Williams Lake

Studio Theatre performs Cheaper by the Dozen, one of many productions staged during the group’s 60 year history in Williams Lake.
Studio Theatre celebrates 60 years Mary-Jo Hilyer Special to Tribune/Advisor Sixty years, close your eyes and imagine that, 60 years. That line from the play Over the River and Through the Woods written by Joe DiPietro comes to mind as the Williams Lake Studio Theatre launches its 60th Anniversary season. Sixty years ago, Gwen Pharis Ringwood founded the group shortly after she and her family moved to Williams Lake (her husband Barney established a medical practice here). She was already an awardwinning playwright and community theatre activist and she was the driving force in bringing to the stage the Williams Lake Players Club’s first production, Dark Brown/Orange Blossoms. The WL Players Club rehearsed and performed where they could. Many plays have since crossed the stage, which is now at the Glendale location, where the club has been for 26 years thanks to School District 27. The theatre has seen many changes over its 60 years, but the one constant has been the pas-

sion and commitment of the volunteers who serve. The WL Studio Theatre’s 60th season line up starts out with The 39 Steps by Patrick Barlow, directed by Curt Sprickerhoff. The Studio Theatre teamed up with The Point Restaurant to bring an awesome night of dinner theatre to patrons. The rip-roaring whodunnit of spies, murder, death defying escapes, midnight chases, a dizzying
love affair, evil villains, and a race against time to save the world is an Alfred Hitchcock meets Monty Python theatrical explosion. The play runs Nov. 12-15 and Nov. 19-22. The Studio Theatre’s 60th Gala evening is the final night, Nov. 22. Tickets will be on sale mid-September. Next is Die Theatrically by Mat Kelly. Director Mark Berezan presents this farce in which detectives Jane and Tom investigate a murder at a community theatre’s all female production of Macbeth the Musical. But is it murder? Or a double murder? Or a murder-suicide? The play runs Jan. 14-17 and Jan. 2124, 2015. Then Still Stands the House and Garage Sale continues our 60th season celebration by putting on two plays written by Studio Theatre’s founder Gwen Pharis Ringwood. They are directed by Cathie Hamm and Sylvia Swift. Still Stands the House was one of Gwen’s early plays and is a tense story about a family coming apart. Garage Sale is a later play that is a gentle story about an older couple finding themselves. These plays run March 11-14 and March 18-
21, 2015. Lastly, in May, the Studio Theatre will present Proof by David Auburn, directed by Sheryl-Lynn Lewis. In this play Catherine doubts her sanity and negotiates with a young math prof who is overly zealous about her father’s work. She is also expecting the arrival of her busy-body older sister. Proof explores the unknowability of love and the mystery of genius. The play runs May 6-9 and May 13-16, 2015. Besides the four plays presented through the year, the theatre season has many difference facets. The first phase of any new season is pitch night, which usually takes place in February. This is where directors can bring forth a play they would like to see put on during the next season. The director must have a producer, a stage manager and budget all in place before they can pitch. The pitch committee reads all the plays then has the potential directors come back a month later for a question and answer period. See STUDIO Page A10

Studio Theatre AGM coming up Sept. 26 Continued From Page A9 They then select four plays for the next season. The next step in the season is auditions, which are held four times a year through Studio Theatre’s regular season. Usually they are held three months before the opening of a play. The word audition
may intimidate some people as it means having to be up on stage, but that is not the only thing it is about. It takes a lot of people to help out with every aspect of a play, like lights and set design, to ensure that a play is successful. If you are interested in getting your feet wet and lending a hand or learning a new job, come out to an audi-
tion. E-mail the theatre and let them know you are interested and they will e-mail you the audition dates as they become available. The next part of Studio Theatre’s year is the Annual General Meeting (AGM) which usually take place in late September or early October. As this is theatre, the executive tries to make their AGM fun. They do the business part first, visit over some appetizers, and then provide some entertainment. This year’s AGM is Sept. 26 at 6:30 p.m. The AGM is always a great way to see the theatre, meet many of the volunteers and be enter-
tained. This year’s entertainment is five to 10 minute readings from each of the upcoming season’s plays mentioned above. For more information please email the Studio Theatre (wlstheatre@gmail. com) or call Mary-Jo at (250)305-4801. The finale of the season happens with Festival, a judged competition that takes place in May every year. Theatre BC consists of 10 zones, each zone consists of four or five Theatre groups. Studio Theatre is in the Central Interior Zone. This past season Williams Lake Studio Theatre hosted the 2014 Zone Festival. Next year, 2015, the festival is
in Prince George. Festival is open to the public and is a great way to see many different plays put on by different theatre groups. The winner of Festival goes onto MainStage, the Theatre BC competition, held in Kamloops the first week of July. Theatre is fun, entertaining, challenging and a great way to get involved in the community. Please help Studio Theatre celebrate their 60th season, either by helping out with a play, coming out to watch a performance, or supporting them financially, and help keep live theatre in Williams Lake for another 60 years.

Storm lend helping hand to United Way Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The lakecity’s new United Way regional representative Melinda Mitchell was thoroughly impressed this summer with the work ethic shown by the Storm U17 Girls rep soccer team. Without any expectations of reward, Mitchell says the team members literally re-landscaped a section of the Boys and Girls Club front lot. She says they removed all of the stones and rocks and weeds from the area, laid down landscape fabric and then put back the cleaned stones and rock. They had help from Matt Neufeld and Steppit Hendrickson as well as her husband Greg, but said she couldn’t believe how hard the girls worked. “They were excited to do something for the kids,” Mitchell says. She notes people can help the United Way to help communities through their donations of cash but also through in-kind contributions such as the work the Storm team did for the Boys and Girls Club on the United Way’s Day of Caring in August. Mitchell, who is wellknown in the community for her many years working in the bakery at Save-On-Foods in Williams Lake, took over as the Cariboo representative for the United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo branch in June from Melissa Newberry. Newberry left the position to take over as executive director of

The Williams Lake Sabercats minor football team squared off against the Quesnel Bombers at Quesnel Saturday in week two of the Prince George Minor Football League. Sabercats head coach Dionte Jelks said the Bombers, in a tightly contested battle, struck first to go up 8-0 after stalling the Sabercats on downs. The first-year Sabercats, not to be outdone, struck back at the beginning of the second quarter when Noe Jelks darted around the left side to outrun the Bombers for a 50-yard

The Bombers then received the kick-off to rumble 20 yards before being stalled by the Sabercats stout defence led by middle linebacker Julia Bowman and defensive end Ian Foster, along with Aiden Oliveira and Geordi Wonnacott. Cole Armond then exploded around the right side to put Williams Lake up 13-8. On the following possession the defence again stopped the Bombers on

On second down Cole Armond lost yardage to put the Sabercats at third down and 12 yards. “Noe received the handoff to the left side but the Bombers defence was waiting,” Dionte said. “Noe reversed the entire field weaving his way through traffic and finally out running a host of Bombers for a 65-yard touchdown. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It’s incredible for a person to be so young to be able
to have vision and see the entire field.” Noe finished the game with 121 yards and two touchdowns on seven carries. The Sabercats then went up 19-8 at the half. “The third quarter resulted in [us] losing two possessions due to botched kick-offs,” Dionte said. “We worked on kickoffs during practice hoping that our young players would be able to effectively cover the kicks.” The Bombers took advantage to go up 1916. “The Bombers kicked off and the ball ricocheted off the hands of
a Sabercat causing the Bombers to go down the field to score the goahead touchdown for the 24-19 win,” Dionte said. “We will work this week to limit our fumbles on kick-off and senseless penalties. It’s all part of the game. Growing pains.” He added he was extremely proud of his players and the effort they gave. “I must say we have some tough seven and eight year olds,” he said. “Many first-year programs get steamrolled their first season but we have competed and played tough in every game coming so close to victory.” The Sabercats will play their home opener this Saturday, Sept. 20 against Prince George starting at noon at the Ottoman Drive rugby pitch. The following Saturday the Sabercats will get a chance for revenge against the Bombers, also in Williams Lake.

The Williams Lake Chess Club is hosting the first-ever Lakecity Chess Open. “We have it all,” said Scott Richardson, one of the tournament’s organizers. “A great playing room, a bit of cash and product prizes.” Scott is local chess sensation Kai Richardson’s dad. Kai played in last year’s World Youth Chess Championships. “Kai’s homeschooling program, SelfDesign, has donated five deluxe tournament chess sets for prizes for students and 10 coaching boards and sets to Kai so that he can teach and give simuls [simultaneous exhibitions]. “We just need people to come and play.” Scott said he hopes to get around 20 to 30 people participating in the tournament, which is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 18 at the Williams Lake Library. “This will be the first chess tournament for the lakecity,” he said. “It could be the only chess tournament in the Interior of B.C.” He added the tournament is for all levels and all ages. “If you enjoy playing chess and it’s been a while or if you just know how the pieces move and want some experience we have a section for you [called] the casual section,” he said. “For those more advanced, the open section.” Refreshments and snacks will be provided during the tournament by Safeway and prizes include sport bike equipment from Red Shred’s and Barking Spider, plus gift certificates from the Gecko Tree and the Open Book. The tournament will be six rounds and a Williams Lake club-rated tournament with a $250 cash prize and another $400 in prizes from sponsors. For more information vist lakecitychess.homestead.com.

It’s the end of an era for Ken and Julie Berry and their many Christmas-loving fans in the lakecity. After 27 years of working here, raising a family, and decorating their Country Club Boulevard home to the nines every Christmas, the couple is leaving Williams Lake to be closer to family in Kelowna. As a result, the Berrys are hosting a Christmas-inspired garage sale this weekend to rival all garage sales --
with all proceeds going to the Child Development Centre. “We want to keep spreading that Christmas spirit so we hope that people will come with the spirit of giving in mind,” Ken said of the thousands of Christmas lights and hockey team of penguins that will be up for sale by donation. The couple has raised almost $25,000 for the local CDC through their Christmas display, which Ken started putting up every summer

right up until Christmas Day. “My goal was $25,000 so it is playing out as I’d hoped.” Ken said he’s thankful to his neighbours and the greater community for the support and donations, and especially to his wife Julie, who he said “put up with vacuuming only in the mornings” due to overloaded circuits. “She bought into it,” he said. For her part, Julie said she’s going to miss the extravagant Christmas show her husband put on every year and of course the community. “That last day here is going to be tough, but we’re ready for our next adventure.” The Berry’s CDC Christmas Spirit garage sale gets underway on Sunday, Sept. 21 at 9 a.m.

winter roads should not be a problem. Of course, you would want to invest in a good set of winter tires. Beyond the city limits, out on the highway, heading south it handled the road well, with enough get up and go for good passing power when needed. It’s quite roomy for a small car. There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy! Verdict: No complaints. For a sub-compact, you get great tech options, great fuel economy, in a car that doesn’t feel like you are driving something as inexpensive as it is. It’s fun and zippy for driving around town or highway driving. If you need a small car as a
daily commuter or it’s your second car to accommodate a bigger SUV or truck, I would recommend taking one out for a test drive to see if it fits for you in what you are looking for in a car. The Fiesta right now for me is tops in the subcompact class.

Monterrey, CA. – Looking at the specs, it doesn’t seem too impressive. A 1.6-litre engine, 116 horsepower, 100 lb-ft of torque, a 0-100 km/h time of less than nine seconds, 14-inch tires. Heck, my bicycle has bigger rubbers! Okay, maybe not. But 25 years ago, the Mazda Miata was a product of those numbers. It wasn’t necessarily endowed in the engine department. However, the two-door roadster did have everything else on its side. A sleek design, a Alexandra Straub

BC when they came out in 1989 – a red one, of course – and took me out for rides frequently. Those memories have stayed with me over the decades, though I’ve been able to form my own bond with the car. Not only have we (meaning, the various MX-5s I’ve driven in the last in 11 years) put down thousands of kilometres together, we’ve also been paired up at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the Skip Barber Racing School experience a couple of times. Nostalgia is one popular element of its appeal, but there’s an undeniable fun factor. Whether racing it on a track or just taking it to the grocery store, the first turn you carve in it will rope you in like an infomercial in the wee hours of the night when you can’t sleep. continued on page A21

Ill-named but a luxury car for real By Zack Spencer
Differing definitions of luxury in the automotive market are truly reflected in the eyes of the beholder. To one person it might be having all the refinements and gadgets available in a modern car accompanied with a smooth and quiet ride. To another buyer it might just be about the name on the front of the car, letting all to see it that the owner has “made it” establishing a certain status in society. For many it’s a combination of both. Enter the new Kia K900 luxury sedan from Kia. It has all the refinement and features found in cars with a longer pedigree in the luxury space but this car offers it at a discount. Then the name on the car comes into play. Is the Kia K900 a car anyone aspires to own? Well, after a weeklong trip
with my family I’m more impressed with Kia than I have been before but the realist in me knows Kia isn’t a luxury brand, at least not yet.
Looks The K900 is an unfortunate name, it begs the question is this a dog? No, it is a full-size car about the same size as a 7-series from BMW or S-Class from Mercedes Benz. The K900 is based on the same platform as the Hyundai Equus but differs in price and content. For a full-sized car with limo-like dimensions, the K900 starts at a remarkable $49,995 for the V6 model and $60,995 for the V6 premium model. The top V8 model is $69,995. The styling is strong, especially the top V8 model seen here with LED headlamps and taillights and very North American looking chrome multi-spoke wheels. The rear doors are
The KIA K900 luxury sedan. huge and Kia has done but good job of keeping the proportions of the car in check while grafting Kia’s signature Tiger Nose grille. The rear bumper and lower air diffuser looks especially chunky, almost mimicking the Lexus LS and its integrated exhaust tips.
Inside Every person that sat in the K900 was blown away with the refinement, fit and finish and especially the materials used. The
All about feel on the road continued from page A19
But in the case of the MX-5, you won’t have any buyer’s remorse. Fast-forward through the years and you’re now viewing the fourth generation MX-5. And what better way to welcome the roadster to the stage here in California than via a little band called Duran Duran. And through a live satellite stream that was broadcast here, and abroad in Spain and Japan. The reasoning? – Both the English music group and the roadster came into popularity in the 80s and continued
to succeed and grow in status over the decades. Besides, “Rio” is an incredibly catchy tune to dance to! That said the MX-5 has a new, eye-catching look to it. Not many specs have been released though I can tell you this: it’s lower, wider, and sheds 100kg in the making. It also embodies the KODO or “Soul of Motion” design language. This two-seater also comes with sexy character lines from its four corners. Furthermore, up front, you’ll notice its headlights that look like they’re eyeing its prey; unlike the first
generation’s pop up/down headlights that were more than welcoming. Like with all-new models of anything legendary, there will be a polarizing reception. Some might think it’s too radical. Some might fall immediately in love with it. And some will wait to drive it to make up their mind. Regardless of the way it looks – which certainly helps its cause – it’s really about how you feel on the road, behind the wheel, and when you tuck it in at night. More details about the MX-5 are scheduled to be released at this year’s Paris Auto Show. Either way, I can’t wait to

Verdict The K900 is Kia’s very first pure luxury car and they got a lot right. The interior is as good as anyone in the marketplace and Kia does it at a substantial discount to
the competition and power isn’t a problem especially with the big V8 available. But there were a few problems. The automatic lock and unlock feature on the outside doors only unlocked. This is probably a quick fix but an issue and the Bluetooth audio didn’t work either. Another stumbling block is the lack of all wheel drive (AWD). In this segment almost all vehicles sold come with AWD, in fact most companies only offer it. The market for this car is a happy existing Kia owner wanting to upgrade to something more and that is where the V6 model comes into play. Kia might not sell many of these cars but they have it for sale to show anyone that is interested that they can make a true luxury car, maybe not in name but in features and refinement. zack.spencer@drivewaybc. ca

V8 is superb, with 420hp coming from a 5.0L V8, there is no lack of power. The shift in the auto industry is to smaller engines that utilize turbo charging but Kia is sticking with good old engine displacement to get the job done. Covering more than 1,000km, the real world fuel economy was 12L/100km on the highway. To say that the K900 is smooth and quite is an understatement, I would put this car up against the new S-Class from Mercedes and a blindfolded passenger would have a hard time distinguishing the difference. What does become apparent is the K900’s lack of steering feedback to the driver and cornering ability. On Highway 3 from Hope towards Penticton the K900 wallowed in the switchback corners, it really didn’t like it at all. Driving back on the Coquihalla was a different story; the K900 shines in open road cruising, making it a wonderful long road trip companion.

Exploring theme of water behind latest gallery offering Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A new art show, Coastal Perspectives, at the Station House explores the theme of water through the creativity of Bella Coola Valley artists Theresa Bagshaw, Kathleen Booth and Ernest Hall. “There are fish, bears, otters, the rainforest and lots of water,” Hall said during the opening reception. “I think every piece involves water.” Hall incorporates traditional native designs in some of his pieces and said he does it because First Nations are part of the landscape. “We’re the refugees,” he suggested. “All of the non-native people have come to the valley to escape something, but the Nuxalk have been here since creation. They are part of the landscape the way the bears and fish are.” There is an argument that non-native incorporation of native art is expropriation, however, Hall argued artists

Ernest Hall with his piece Bella Coola Just Getting By, one of several in Coastal Perspectives, an art show featuring the work of three Bella Coola Valley artists now on at the Station House Gallery. often “steal” from the Italians, Greeks, Romans and French. “Art is a universal expression and to exclude the right to incorporate native art into my art is denying the artistic experience.” Pointing to a piece titled Sky to Sea — a clay vase featuring an descending eagle and a fishing salmon — Hall said he’s happy with the
piece. He first started incorporating aboriginal images about 20 years ago at a time when it was politically incorrect and admits he was selfconscious. He’s not now. Lifting up a clay platter with a native designed sockeye titled Sockeye Blues, he described it as whimsical and fun. There’s not
enough whimsy out there, he chuckled. One of his pieces titled Bella Coola Just Getting By is more political. It features a tree root ripped out of the environment and the ends of it are ragged. The wood is smooth and cultivated by the weather and elements, but it’s been torn out, he emphasized.

“There are two raku bears who are un-customarily walking away from the centre of the piece. Two raku salmon are also swimming away and leaving the scene.” He said he didn’t have a little plastic ferry boat to place on the wood, but hoped the viewer gets his drift that folks in Bella Coola are barely surviving. Booth, who moved to the valley from Winnipeg in 2011, has created paintings sharing the vibrancy of the nature she sees around her. Her paintings employ a use of hues that is bold and bright. Bagshaw, originally from Vancouver, has called the Bella Coola Valley home since 1993. While she wasn’t at the show’s opening, her presence was felt through her paintings and clay, fitting her artist statement’s suggestion that “the natural environment nurtures her creative abilities and calls for diversity in her artistic expression.” The show remains in the gallery for the rest of September.

FALL IS HERE Time to get your vehicle ready for winter!
Car emergency kits can be a life saver (NC) – No matter where you drive, you never know when something could go wrong. It could be a flat tire, getting stuck in traffic, an accident, a car break down, or sliding into a ditch on a less travelled road. This is why it is important to always be prepared and part of being prepared involves having an emergency kit. Having an emergency kit in your car can
be very helpful when you are in a bind. While some people overlook its importance because they rely on road side assistance, the reality is that you never know how long it will take for help to arrive. “Even if you have road side assistance coverage you may have to wait a while for help to arrive, especially in poor weather conditions,” says Achiel Goossens, the senior
manager of auto claims with Aviva Canada. “An emergency kit can help make things more comfortable while you are waiting for help to arrive.” While there is no limit to what items you can include in your emergency kit, there are a number of things that Goossens suggests you need. These items include: • A cell phone (if you don’t carry one with

Battery care in extreme weather Few things can be more frustrating than jumping into the driv-
er’s seat on a frosty morning, turning the key in the ignition and
failing to hear the engine roar to life. Frigid weather can cause trouble with a car’s battery. Some drivers do not understand why, but getting the facts can help people avoid having to deal with dead batteries on cold winter days. Cold temperatures wreak havoc on batteries because they slow the chemical reaction inside of the battery. Batteries work by combining lead plates with lead dioxide and sulfuric acid to create electrons. While batteries can function under myriad conditions, the cold weather tends to degrade high-quality batteries and may render subpar batteries useless. The cold weather can cause the fluid in

Drivers should replace old car batteries winter weather. the battery to freeze and lose function. A battery that is frozen will not hold a charge, and, as a result, the car won’t start. There are various ways to protect a battery from failure in the cold, and some of them involve taking precautionary measures even before the arrival of cold weather. * Assess the age of your battery. If your battery is old, now may be the time to replace it. Batteries differ in how long they last, but many last anywhere from five to
10 years. If your car is still running on its original battery and your card is several years old, it may be a good idea to get a new battery before the arrival of winter. Battery size will not necessarily provide better starting. It’s important to buy the correct battery for the make of your car, which can usually be found inside of the owner’s manual. * Verify that there is no corrosion. Corrosion can prevent a car from starting just as much as a wornout battery. Corrosion is caused by a faulty
tery fluid from freezing. A trickle charger can also be mounted on the battery. It will deliver enough power to the battery while the car is off to keep it from freezing. * Minimize the use of automotive accessories. Do not start the car with the heater and the radio on. They can use up the power coming from the car’s alternator and prevent the battery from charging. Do not leave the heat and the radio on while the car is idling. Otherwise the car will not be putting out enough power for the alternator to charge the battery and power the before the arrival of electrical systems. * Disconnect the battery.

Simple ways to extend the life of your vehicle According to data from http://www.canadianautoworld.ca, in 2012 the average new car cost $26,755. That’s a considerable expense, especially at a time when fuel costs remain high and cost of living continues to rise. Because new cars have become so expensive, more and more vehicle owners are looking for ways to extend the life of their vehicles. The longer a car can stay on the road, the better an investment that vehicle becomes. Fortunately, there are several steps vehicle owners can take that should ensure their vehicles stay on the road for years to come. * Scale back on short trips. The toll cold starts take on a vehicle can add up over time. When a car is started, condensation builds up in the vehicle’s exhaust system. On longer trips, that condensation will gradually evaporate. However, on short trips, that condensation often does not have enough time to evaporate, and over time too many short trips will lead to an accumulation of water in the muffler that can lead to rust and rust holes on the muffler. Short trips also can negatively affect gas mileage. When possible, leave your car at home on trips into town when you can just as easily walk or ride a bicycle. Over time, reducing the amount of short trips you take in your car will greatly reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and improve your fuel efficiency as well. * Stick to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. Adhering to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule serves many purposes, including improving the its durability and protecting various components, including its cooling system and drivetrain.
Keeping a vehicle’s interior clean can make it more enjoyable to drive while encouraging owners to keep their cars for longer periods of time. While many manufacturers used to recommend changing a vehicle’s oil every 3,000 miles, many of today’s newer automobiles need their oil changed less frequently. Check your owner’s manual for manufacturer recommendations regarding oil changes, and don’t forget to
replace the oil filter when changing your vehicle’s oil. * Pay attention to brake pads. Brake pads that are allowed to wear down can cause damage to the brakes’ rotors and calipers. That damage can prove costly and make things harder on your vehicle. Keep
an eye on your vehicle’s brake pads, which are far less expensive to replace than rotors and calipers, and do not allow them to wear down to metal. * Keep your tires properly inflated. Tires that are under-inflated will negatively impact your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. In addition, the tires’ life expectancy is reduced considerably when tires are not properly inflated. Routinely check your tire pressure, especially if you drive a lot, and keep tires inflated at the pressure recommended in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. * Be mindful when filling up your tank. Many people do not pay much attention to their surroundings when pulling into the filling station. But when you fill up can impact your car’s life expectancy. Perhaps the worst time to fill your tank is when the fuel tanker is in the gas station refilling the underground tanks. That’s because the process of filling the underground tanks can stir up sediment that had settled

at the bottom of those tanks. If that sediment finds its way into your vehicle’s gas tank, it can clog filters and fuel injectors and negatively affect the vehicle’s performance. So unless your car is running on empty, avoid refilling its gas tank when the tanker is still in the station. * Take care of your vehicle’s interior, too.
Caring for a car is not just about being good to what’s under the hood. Caring for the car’s interior will not necessarily impact its performance, but a well-kept interior will improve how you look at your vehicle and how much you enjoy driving it. The longer you enjoy driving your vehicle, the longer you are likely to keep it.
Preserve the vehicle’s door and window seals; clean the dashboard, including the gauges, vacuum the floor mats; and wipe down the vehicle’s interior, whether it’s cloth or leather. Keeping up the appearance of the car’s interior will make the vehicle more enjoyable to drive and increase its value at resale.
