Grades 7 to 12 school option strongly opposed
Close to 300 people crammed into the Williams Lake Secondary School gym Tuesday evening for the first public consultation meeting on the district’s Initial Options Report.
For the north end the report pro-poses closing Glendale, Kwaleen, and Wildwood elementary schools and making Columneetza and Wil-liams Lake secondary schools into one grades 7 to 12 school on two campuses.
While Superintendent of Schools Mark Thiessen gave a powerPoint presentation on reasons for the de-cision and explained that Tuesday’s meeting was for questions only on information in the report, numerous people who came to the microphone to ask questions also delivered impassioned speeches, several of which drew loud applause from the audience.
No one spoke in favour of the grades 7 to 12 option.
Several speakers also spoke in favour of keeping Glendale, Wild-
wood, and Kwaleen elementary schools open.
Despite explanations by Williams Lake Trustee Doug Neufeld and other trustees that the Grade 7 to 12 option was carefully considered and was the best option for Williams Lake to maintain and enhance pro-gramming in the future, the audience didn’t seem convinced.
Karen Sokolan, who has two chil-dren attending Columneetza and two children attending Mountview elementary, including a daughter in Grade 6, was among several parents giving emotional speeches.
Sokolan said Grade 7s aren’t ready for the negative peer pressures they will be exposed to at high school to drink alcohol, do drugs, or engage in sex, branding and bullying.
“There is a public perception that our high schools are not safe, so why would you bring your Grade 7s into an unsafe school environment?” Sokolan explained later.
Jennifer Wintjes, a Grade 11 stu-dent at Columneetza, gathered 259 signatures in two days on a petition opposing the grades 7 to 12 second-
ary school idea.She says her sister in Grade 6 at
150 Mile elementary also gathered 53 signatures during one lunch break opposing the proposal.
Wintjes says it is ridiculous to bring Grade 7s into the high schools because they are too young to lose their innocence by being exposed to the peer pressure to do drugs, drink alcohol, engage in sex and the bully-ing experienced in high school.
She is also concerned that creating one high school on two campuses would pose problems for students with learning disabilities, negatively impact sports programs, increase bullying that already exists between the two schools, and require lockers for students at both schools.
Wintjes was also concerned that busing students between schools would take away time that students might need to get some extra tutoring they might need from their teachers.
Crystal Verhaeghe spoke in favour of keeping the kindergarten to Grade 3 school open at Wildwood. She said her family lives in Williams Lake and chooses to drive their children to the
Wildwood school for the programs there which include the Shuswap language. She asked what provisions there would be at Cataline to have early Shuswap language.
There were also concerns ex-pressed about how the classes and scheduling would operate at a two-campus high school, and people speaking in favour of keeping Kwaleen and Glendale elementary schools open.
Some people also asked why Ma-rie Sharpe is being kept open with low enrollment. Trustees explained the need to keep a school in the downtown core within walk limits.
Ivor Myers expressed concern that creating a Grade 7 to 12 second-ary school in Williams Lake would impact enrollment at schools in the Chilcotin because parents might move their students to Williams Lake for Grade 7 thereby reducing enrollment in those rural schools and making it more difficult to keep the schools going.

No strike at TRU today
Strike notice served Monday by C.U.P.E employees that is slated to take effect today at several uni-versities around the province will not initially affect Thompson Riv-ers University campus in Williams Lake, says Dan Gawthrop of union communications.
There are 15 full-time C.U.P.E. and 15 C.U.P.E. auxiliary employ-ees working at TRU in Williams Lake, he says. “C.U.P.E. Local 4879 has chosen not to take strike action this week, although things could change later on,” Gawtrop says of the TRU campus.
The School District 27 board needs to pay closer attention to where parents are actually sending their children to school before they enact their Initial Op-tions Report, says Katie Dyck, a parent of three children attending Kwa-leen Elementary School.
Dyck, the newly elected parent advisory council president, has written a letter to the board outlin-ing her concerns with the Initial Options Report that proposes closing Glendale, Wildwood and Kwaleen elementary schools.
By the enrollment num-bers, Dyck says Marie Sharpe and Wildwood elementary schools are struggling to keep stu-dents, while Kwaleen and Glendale are operating at or near capacity.
“I don’t think the big picture has been looked at,” Dyck says.
In her letter to the board she states: “I feel that the board has consistently and unreasonably ignored the option of closing Marie Sharpe, and I am unsure as to why.
“Marie Sharpe is the oldest school in Williams Lake and it is therefore reasonable to believe that it will require more money to rehabilitate and bring up to code than any other school. I do not wish to slander the educational aspect of this school, because as far as administration and teach-ing goes I am sure it is
equal to any other school in the city.”
She says she is con-cerned with safety issues surrounding Marie Sharpe, which require the school to be locked up during the day to prevent access by a certain criminal element.
“This does not seem like the ideal environment for kids to learn and de-velop,” Dyck says. “I con-sider a site like Kwaleen’s, with plenty of fresh air and space, and little to no drive-by or walk-through traffic, in comparison, a far more appealing site for an elementary school.”
But perhaps a more tell-ing judgement lies with the families of Williams Lake themselves who are choosing not to send their children to Marie Sharpe, Dyck says.
According to the 2006 Trillium Report commis-sioned by the board of the day to review efficiencies in the district, she says Ma-rie Sharpe was operating at 59 per cent capacity.
This year she says Ma-rie Sharpe is operating at 42 per cent capacity while Kwaleen is currently
operating at 91 per cent capacity and Glendale is operating at 100 per cent capacity.
“The numbers don’t lie, and with the school of choice option available to us all, why isn’t Marie Sharpe full?” Dyck asks.
She goes on to ques-tion the board’s reasons for keeping Marie Sharpe open while reducing op-tions for parents by clos-ing Glendale with its year-round program and Kwaleen with its tradition-al school model.
She asks why the board would want to remove choice for parents when the Initial Options Report says the board’s number 1 guiding principle is “excel-lence in education, choice and opportunity.”
She adds that Kwaleen’s FSA scores are high and rising and Glendale’s FSA scores are also good.
Further she notes that 60 per cent of students attend-ing Kwaleen live within the Kwaleen catchment area, and the other 40 per cent of students are there by choice.
“While we all under-
stand the concept of tight-ening the belt, I would like to ask that the school board look at the numbers as a whole for all schools
as well as community response to the schools before making your de-cisions about which to close,” Dyck says.
Why Use a Mortgage BrokerThere are two ways you can get a mortgage in Canada: from a bank or from a licensed mortgage broker. While a bank only offers you products from their institution a licensed mortgage broker offers you mortgages from Canada’s largest banks, credit unions, and trust companies.
This means you have access to hundreds of mortgage products. As a result, you benefi t from the security of knowing you’re getting the best mortgage for your needs.
Mortgage brokers are compensated by the lenders, at no charge to you, for bringing you to them. A fee is charged only for the most challenging credit solutions, and it’s especially under those circumstances that a mortgage broker can do for you what your bank likely won’t.
Better rates, personalized service, and fl exibility of products are what you’ll get when dealing with a broker.
Purchasing a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make in your lifetime. For most people, it’s the single largest investment they’ll ever make. That’s why it’s so important to surround yourself with professionals who offer you a tremendous amount of knowledge and support.
Whether you’re purchasing a home for the fi rst time, taking out equity from your home for investment elsewhere, or your current mortgage is up for renewal, it’s important that you’re making an educated decision by getting the professional, unbiased advice of a broker.

Kwaleen parent asks board to consider the big picture
He also questioned why some students who gradu-ate don’t do well on the tests they have to take to get a job.
If Canada is supposed to have one of the best educa-tion systems in the world he asked why government isn’t putting more money into education to address these types of problems.
Several speakers asked why a middle school op-tion was not presented.
Neufeld explained how the board developed its guiding principle for reducing the number of transitions a student has to experience in the school system.
He said research shows that the more students have to change schools, the greater the chance is that they will drop out of
school early.Given student numbers
in the various grades in the Williams Lake area, con-dition of aging schools, and the ability to maintain and enhance course of-ferings in future, Neufeld said the grades 7 to 12 op-tion is the best configura-tion for Williams Lake.
One speaker sug-gested making a grades 6,7,8 middle school and a grades 9,10,11,12 second-
ary school. Others wanted to know enrollment num-bers at each school so they might make their own rec-ommendations on recon-figuration.
There were also con-cerns that proposals for achieving fewer school transitions in the district to create more efficiencies in the system look quite dif-ferent in 100 Mile House than they do in Williams Lake.
While the plan is to cre-ate a grades 7 to 12 school on two campuses in Wil-liams Lake the plan for 100 Mile House is to move Grade 8 students out of the secondary school and put them back in elementary schools. 100 Mile House Junior Secondary School would be closed and sold and Peter Skene Ogden would become a Grade 9 to 12 secondary school.
Both proposals sat-
isfy the creation of only one transition between elementary school and secondary school and relief for the problem of underutilization of some schools.
However, in an ear-lier interview, Cariboo Chilcotin Teachers Asso-ciation president Joan Erb said she is already hear-ing from 100 Mile House teachers who oppose the idea of putting Grade 8s
back in the elementary schools.
She says she personally taught Grade 7 French Immersion for 13 years and it was clear to her that students in Grade 7 are ready and chomping at the bit to move up to second-ary school after the first semester.
So, Erb says it doesn’t seem to make sense to put Grade 8s back into el-ementary schools.
Glendale Elementary School parent Janna Er-ickson says it would be a shame if her sons’ school closes.
She loves the year-round schedule and warns once it’s gone it’s gone.
“It would be a shame to get rid of it,” says Er-ickson, who has a son in Grade 5 and another in Grade 3.
Holding a graph that shows the balance of the modified calendar, she points out how much it makes sense to her.
“You don’t have big chunks of time off. Instead you have time, instruc-tion and holidays evenly spaced out.”
This isn’t the first time Erickson is gathering in-formation to make her case.
She also researched in
2010 when she was co-chair of the school’s par-ent advisory council.
At that time she said she had concerns about the school’s possible clo-sure.
“We have a specialized school with a non-tradi-tional school year; that is why it works well, not only for parents, but the children, also.”
Counting on her fingers she says there are three things to keep in mind.
“People need to think outside the box. They need to go outside their comfort zone and the school board needs to be forward think-ing.”
The traditional calen-dar, she adds, is based on an agricultural society.
“No children stop go-ing to school and have the summer off to help in the fields anymore. That doesn’t happen. It’s out-dated.”
In fact, she would like to see all schools in the district be on the balanced calendar.
Students have a month off at three different times throughout the year.
Glendale Elemen-tary School was the first school in Canada to go that route.
Byron Kemp was prin-cipal at Glendale in 1990 when the school board looked at closing the school because of a popu-lation decrease.
“At that point we were below a hundred students, so I was asked to find a solution or the school was going to close. I looked at many alternatives,” Kemp recalls.
He’d been working in the district since 1974 and noticed the schools lost students during break-up time.
“We looked at resched-uling so you could offer
breaks when people would use them. In looking at it and bringing the parents
in, this was what we came up with. It worked; we in-creased population.”
Families did not have to stay in the school and ac-cept the change; however, eight students left and 30 or 40 new ones came in, Kemp says.
“I would see it a shame for Glendale to close peri-od. I’m not impressed with the way they are looking at the Grade 7 to 12 mixture either. I don’t have the an-swers at this point in time, but it’s interesting that they are looking at closing the two schools that are different in the district and have been doing very well for themselves — Glen-dale and Kwaleen,” Kemp adds.
It’s a tough situation for the school district, he adds.
“Part of the problem is the provincial government and their lack of real fund-ing involvement. I think there are many issues within the Williams Lake area, as far as people leav-
ing to look for employ-ment.”
The French immersion program in Williams Lake is housed at Glendale, al-though students enrolled in the program follow the regular calendar.
The building is also home to the Williams Lake Studio Theatre.
All three entities are working together under one roof, Erickson says.
“It’s going to be a hard sell to keep Glendale open. People hear the term ‘year-round school’ and they don’t realize that our kids go to school the same number of days.”
One of Erickson’s sons is autistic and she finds the balanced calendar benefits him. “He already struggles so this calendar caters to at-risk kids. It was a no-brainer I realized once I did some research. There is less burnout for teach-ers and for students.”

Mom advocates to keep Glendale school open
CCTA looks for fair transition if schools close
Configuration strategies differ
Monica Lamb-Yorski photoGlendale school parent and parent advisory council member Janna Erickson shows a pie graph of the year-round school calendar at Glendale. She says it would be a shame to see the option disappear.
Whatever schools may be closed in School District 27 the Cariboo Teachers Association leadership wants a transi-tion that is fair for all staff, says CCTA president Joan Erb.
The school board’s pro-posal to close five schools
in the district will have a serious impact on teach-ers and administrators but there is no language in their current contract that would assure a fair transi-tion for all staff, Erb says.
She says the contract language has normal “post and fill” provisions, which would not be ap-propriate given the scope of the proposed school
closures.“Our main concern is
for staffing,” Erb says. “We have been issued notice under Section 54 of the Labour Relations Code that schools could be closed and positions eliminated.
“This is an opportunity for the unions and staff to create a formula that would be applicable given
the circumstances.”Erb says CCTA repre-
sentatives will meet with school staff representa-tives to look at the con-tract language and will also take some training with the B.C. Teachers Federation on how to pro-ceed.
Erb says the union will look to create a process that would be fair for all
teachers as well as what possible severance pack-ages might look like.
“Whatever we come up with would have to be approved by the member-ship at a general meeting,” Erb says.
If new positions cre-ated in the remaining schools are simply posted Erb says teachers whose jobs are being eliminated
would be able to bid twice on positions of choice.
If the teacher didn’t win a position then they would be able to exercise their right to bump into a position held by a teacher junior to them.
Under their contract, Erb says principals and vice-principals whose po-sitions are eliminated can also bid back into teach-
ing positions using their full seniority rights.
The process could take months to complete, which in itself is a prob-lem since there would only be eight months be-tween the end of January and the beginning of Sep-tember to complete the re-organization process and run through the posting and bumping process.

BEAS to be discontinued March 31
Businesses have about six months left to take advantage of the Business Energy Advi-sor Service.
Speaking at the Wil-liams Lake & District Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon Thursday, BEAS ener-gy advisor Sorin Pasca of Prince George said the service will be dis-continued on March 31, 2013.
Pasca offers free en-ergy assessments for businesses in the re-gion.
“I don’t offer a high level assessment; it’s more on the level of a facilitator, helping you take advantage of re-bates offered by BC Hydro or Fortis BC,” he explained.
Some of the popular upgrades are to switch
from using T12 fluores-cent lighting to T8 fluo-rescent lighting, which translates into a sav-ings of $22 per fixture; going from an incan-descent Exit sign to an LED Exit sign for a sav-ings of $37 per fixture; installing occupancy sensors and timers; or
obtaining high efficien-cy water tanks and boil-ers for a rebate of up to $5,700, Pasca said.
To be eligible busi-nesses have to be reg-istered, privately owned and operated, with elec-trical bills of $50,000 or less.
If a business is home-
based, over 50 per cent of the building has to be used for the business for it to be eligible.
Businesses wanting to register to have an assessment done can contact Pasca at [email protected] or call him directly at 250-562-2454.
Two road projects worth $5 million underway in the Cariboo-Chilcotin
Two road rehabilita-tion projects valued at almost $5 million are underway in the Cari-boo-Chilcotin.
Each of these proj-ects are expected to be completed by October.
The first project involves sealcoating about 65 kilometres of West Fraser Road be-tween Williams Lake and Quesnel.
This is supposed to provide a smoother ride on West Fraser Road for motorists who wish to
take an alternate route instead of Highway 97 between Williams Lake and Quesnel.
This contract is val-ued at more than $2 million and was award-ed to White Bear Indus-tries Ltd.
The second project involves resurfacing approximately four ki-lometers of Highway 20 and just over 12 ki-lometres of side roads in the Williams Lake area.
Fox Mountain Road,
Hodgson Road and Dog Creek Road will be overlaid with new asphalt. This will pro-vide the benefit of a safer and smoother ride to tourists and local res-idents of the Williams Lake area.
“Identifying areas of improvement such as these benefit the safety of the travelling public as well as improve the quality and lifespan of our roads,” says Car-iboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett.

In 2005, one of my first public policy challenges as an MLA was the provincial government’s deci-sion to regulate BC’s “farm gate” sales of meat products. This past weekend, seven years later, I host-ed a town hall with our agriculture community to try and figure out where the BC Liberals are going on this issue.
Farm gate sales (on-farm meat slaughter, local processing, and
d i r e c t sales to custom-ers) have contrib-uted to our re-
gional economy for a very long time and there has never been documentation presented to the Legislature to justify the govern-ment’s decision to regulate this ac-tivity as significantly as it initially attempted to do.
To add insult to injury, the Lib-eral government’s efforts to regu-late and establish an inspection re-gime for farm gate sales have been an unmitigated disaster from the start. The continued confusion and uncertainty surrounding the imple-mentation and future of this legis-lation, along with the incremental costs imposed on this sector as a result of the regulations, has forced many local meat producers and processors out of business.
The tragic result of this incom-petence is that people now have significantly fewer opportunities to buy locally grown and pro-cessed meat. This is especially un-fortunate during this recent, largest ever, recall of tainted beef from an Alberta mega-processing plant.
Sadly, we’ve only avoided an even more complete collapse of local BC meat production in some regions because otherwise law-abiding producers have quietly gone “underground” with their farm gate sales.
We need this issue addressed immediately, before more local meat producers and processors de-cide to call it quits. I’m heartened by the fact that the new Minister of Agriculture has publicly stated fix-ing this mess is one of his priorities and I will gladly work with him.

City and CRD want to hear from you
Let’s fix this mess
Big news announced last week out of the school district.
A lot of big changes are being discussed, and I urge everyone to get informed and to attend public meetings.
Changes to schools have sig-nificant e f f e c t s on many people – students, parents, teachers
— and the school district wants to hear from you.
The City and CRD want to hear from you too, in the form of feed-back on an option for possible renovations to the Sam Ketcham Pool.
There is a public open house on Oct. 11 from 7 to 8 p.m., and the committee’s consultants will be in several locations around the city on the 12th and 13th.
All of the information is avail-able on the City’s website and at the Complex.
I will be attending the open house on the 11th, and I encour-age everyone to attend.
This is an important project, and your feedback is needed. I’ll see you there!
A big thank you to MLA Don-na Barnett, who participated in every meeting with us at UBCM. We appreciate her commitment and support.

Losing our democracyWhen the democratically elected representatives don’t
sit, debate, and vote on issues before the government. Welcome to the Protectorate of British Columbia, where we are ruled by Liberal spin-doctors and their re-election machine.
News last week that the Liberals have cancelled the fall sitting of the legislature is undoubtedly predicated by spin-doctor rationale that MLAs are tougher to be held accountable for their actions when not required to an-swer questions about their shenanigans.
It should be mentioned, though, that Premier Christy Clark learned this particular trick from her predecessor, Gordon Campbell, who also thought that democratic conventions got in the way of ruling and would often cancel sittings of the legislature.
Newly-minted Finance Minister Rich Coleman’s first order of business was to break the news that natural gas revenues in the province were down and, as a result, the province has undertaken austerity measures akin to the Bill Bennett days of the early 1980s. Isn’t that, and the measures the government is going to undertake to try and balance the books, worthy of discussion by our legisla-
ture? Apparently not.Instead, all the forces of government will focus on pre-
paring a budget that the Liberals can present next spring, just prior to the election, telling us that all is well with the world because they are at the helm. Even though the province is now blustering about on the Northern Gate-way Pipeline project, shouldn’t its position be debated in our Legislature? Apparently not. It was just a few short months ago that this same Liberal government rushed through a spate of legislation in the spring sitting so it could get the summer break started in time. While this province has extremely robust employment numbers, child poverty is still more of an issue here than in the rest of the country. Shouldn’t that be discussed in the legis-lature? Apparently not. When those who are looking for your vote come knocking on your door next spring, just ask them one question: Are you and/or your party com-mitted to having spring and fall sittings of the legislature every year? Those who cannot commit are not commit-ted to democracy and, therefore, not worthy of democ-racy’s highest honour … your vote.

Question of the weekAddress concerns before allowing development
Editor:
Last night (Monday) I attended a public consultation meeting at city hall regarding a request for amend-ments to the Official Community Plan and rezoning to accommodate a six-unit townhouse on a lot on Renner Road, in the South Lakeside area of the city (the neighbourhood is currently single family homes).
If you have driven Renner Road, you know that it is narrow at best and has limited to no shoulders, never mind any resemblance of
sidewalks for the school kids who access Kwaleen School along this route.
Could this be misconstrued as forward thinking to add additional development, increasing density and traffic flow without first ad-dressing valid safety concerns raised at the meeting?
Although when you consider some city council development decisions made previously, in the South Lakeside area, it could be said that forward thinking was not a strong component in the thought
process; case in point the absence of adequate road development for Wal-Mart access and the pellet plant location.
South Lakeside Drive itself rep-resents a daily challenge to drivers, pedestrians, bikers, and joggers.
I am not against development in the city but first let’s address the valid infrastructure and safety con-cerns already identified by the ex-isting residents prior to increasing the density.

Bears don’t just eat ‘anything’Editor:
A few weeks ago a fellow by the name of Alan Trenzek wrote a letter to the editor with regards to “bears will eat anything.” I could not help but feel the need to reply to his article.
One major problem we have these days with proper bear management is the lack of correct information and statistical data.
We are still basing our opinions and plan of action on old wives tales, camp fire stories and exag-
gerated hearsay. Let me set Mr. Trenzek straight,
and anyone else who believed what he wrote. Bears will not eat any-thing and everything.
I have studied bears for more than 30 years, and read every bit of biological literature written on the species, and can say without a doubt your cat, dog and small chil-dren are safe.
Black bears do not view us and our pets as food.
They are omnivorous, which means a large percentage of their
diet is vegetation, not meat. Please, if you are going to speak your mind and have your words put into print at least do your homework.
It is that kind of thinking that leaves people terrified of bears and wanting to kill them.
Let us take it upon ourselves to be properly educated about the spe-cies and hopefully learn to co-exist as Australians have with saltwater crocodiles, and people of Churchill, Manitoba with polar bears.

Ranchers gob-smacked by E. coli beef recallI have to tell you, none of us saw
it coming — we were gob-smacked from behind and knocked face-first to the mat as if we were participat-ing in an old-time tag-team wres-tling bout.
You remember, those matches, decided when one of the wrestlers in the ring body-slammed his op-ponent into submission.
As the loser lay twitching (semi-responsive) on the mat and the apparent winner was strutting his stuff around the ring; then out of
nowhere the downed wrestler’s tag-team partner would jump on him from behind, slamming him hard back into reality.
That, folks, is an apt illustration
for what happened in the cattle in-dustry in the wake of the disaster at XL Foods in Alberta this past week.
Who could have seen that com-ing, or predicted such a thing? The largest recall (of beef) in Canadian history.
Does it affect the local cattle market?
Of course. It has had the same ef-fect as one of those big time body-slams, knocking local producers hopes for healthy profit right out of
the ring; once again, circumstanc-es (out of their control) and bad timing have them hanging on the ropes, taking yet another beating in the market place.
E. coli (0157:H7) can also be found in sprouts (yep, many of you consume great quantities), unpas-teurized juice/milk, contaminated water and dry cured salami as well.
The toxin produced causes seri-ous illness that can wreak havoc, particularly in the very young, the elderly but the harmful strain is not
just found in meat. But have you ever heard of a
massive sprout recall in headline news?
Often the general public is fed only a select portion of the whole meal (story) and it seems unfair that the entire beef industry has been tainted by a processing lapse (human operators, human error). The losses, in the form of negative perception, have been massive.

“They call the Cariboo home”Flinton brings Cariboo roots to the Prairies
Bob Simpson, MLA Cariboo North“Where’s Bob?”
1-866-991-0296
Find out what your MLA is up to at
www.bobsimpsonmla.ca
No matter how long Julia Flinton spends away from her hometown, she’ll always call Williams Lake home.
The 19-year-old hockey star, who has deep-seeded roots in Williams Lake, is heading into her second season of an athletic scholarship with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies of the Canada West Universities Ath-letic Association.
“Williams Lake will always be home to me,” she said.
“Lots of people I’m friends with can’t wait to get out and leave and never come back, but I didn’t have as many years there to start with and I think, yeah, probably, I’d live somewhere else career-wise if I had to, but my final goal is to move back there and live there for the rest of my life — just like my parents and my grandparents.”
Flinton began her journey in Williams Lake before relocating to Wilcox, Sask. to play hockey starting in Grade 8 with the Notre Dame Hounds.
Her parents, Hugh and Jane, and her youngest brother, Nicho-las, 9, still live in Williams Lake. Her other brother, Cameron Flinton, 15, attends Notre Dame College.
“Back in Williams Lake, be-fore hockey, I was involved with the Williams Lake Blue Fins and the Williams Lake Figure Skat-ing Club,” she said.
“When I was nine, after both the Canadian women’s and men’s teams won gold medals in hockey at the Olympics in Salt Lake City, I switched to hockey and pretty much just played soc-cer and hockey.”
The switch to hockey — while not extremely popular for girls in
Williams Lake to even play the sport at the time — ultimately, led Flinton down a path she’ll cherish for the rest of her life.
In 2011, Flinton, as a de-fenceman with the Notre Dame Hounds, won a women’s national midget championship, becoming the top team in the country.
While beginning her hockey career in Williams Lake, follow-ing a year of disappointment af-ter slipping and breaking her leg at a hockey camp the previous summer, she made the local atom development team.
“That’s when I kind of knew hockey was going to be my
sport,” she said.She credits her parents, along
with her coaches, for helping her reach her goals.
“When I first started it wasn’t a big thing for girls to play hockey,” she said. “The only other girl on my team in Williams Lake was Julie Palmantier, and that was in
my first year of peewee.”She said winning a national
championship was an amazing experience.
“I definitely won’t forget something like that and it will definitely be one of the first things that comes to mind when I think of my hockey career,” she said. “My best friend was on the team, and to win something like that with 18 of your best friends, the feeling is unexplainable.”
This past summer Flinton re-turned home to Williams Lake to work, where she got a job as a fire fighter for BC Forests.
“It was unreal,” she said of the experience. “I definitely enjoyed myself and I’m definitely go-ing back next year. It was awe-some.”
Aside from hockey, Flinton is working on completing an agri-culture degree at the University of Saskatchewan. She also spent some time this past summer pick-ing up a few new hobbies.
“I tried to learn how to rope, because my little brother is into rodeo,” she said. “I just kind of try new things as I go because I’m able to.”
Flinton and the Huskies open their season this weekend against the Mount Royal Cougars.
“We’re a good team,” she said. “We’re very young. We have quite a few rookies this year but I think that will be a weapon for us because teams maybe won’t expect all the talent we have.”
As for what’s in store for the future, Flinton said she’s going to take things as they come.
“[Playing for Team Canada] was always a dream of mine but your dreams change,” she said.
“I think after five years playing hockey here and getting my de-gree I’ll be ready to settle down and get a job and hopefully start a family.”

Stamps play season opener Saturday
Hockey fans, rejoice. If you’ve been dying to watch
some competitive hockey this year the Central Interior Hockey League teams locally hope to fill that void when they launch into their 2012/13 regular season start-ing this Saturday with the Wil-liams Lake Stampeders visiting the Lac la Hache Tomahawks.
The CIHL East Division rivals will both be looking to test the waters in their first games back in action. Both teams have made some roster changes, some play-ers have switched teams and some new faces have been added.
All of this, said Stampeders general manager Kelly Kohlen, should make for an interesting season.
In preparation for the regular season games the Stampeders practiced throughout September.
Kohlen said the team’s core, in-cluding players like Aaron Zurak,
Nathan Zurak, Francis Johnson, Stu Sasges, Jared Kohlen, Dino Lecomte and Brent McIsaac, is still intact. He added there will be some new faces suiting up this year for the Stam-peders.
“We’ve got a few new addi t ions ,” he said. “We’ve got a guy, John Woodyard , and then Dusty Gar-nett, and we’ve got a couple local boys — Ryley Seibert and David DeBeer — and we’re still waiting for a couple guys.”
One player who could be join-ing the Stampeders this season should be familiar to Williams Lake hockey fans as Kohlen said former Williams Lake Timberwolf
Justin Bardarson has expressed in-terest in suiting up for the club.
Back between the pipes this year for Williams Lake is former
league MVP Justin Foote. B a c k i n g him up will be Duncan Peeman and n e w c o m e r Owen Sut-ton.
“ W e ’ r e just waiting for his re-lease from Vanderhoof [the Omin-eca Ice],” Kohlen said.
“I think as the season goes we’ll get stronger, barring injuries.”
Tomahawk’s coach Al Navrot said they will be heading into Saturday night’s battle at the Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena completely focused.
“It’ll be interesting to see what
they’ve got and how we stack up against them,” Navrot said. “I think we’ll be pretty evenly matched but it’s hard to predict. It’s never a good thing to be cocky, though.”
Kohlen also said he thinks the two clubs should put together a solid hockey game.
“From what I’ve heard from their tryouts I think it should be a fairly close game,” Kohlen said.
“We just need to get everybody to play together and get to know each other. There’s a little bit of a change this year but we’ve still got our core group of guys.”
Following the Oct. 6 matchup with the Tomahawks the Stamped-ers return home for a seven-game homestand.
Williams Lake will play its home opener on Oct. 13 against the Kiti-mat Ice Demons at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex starting at 7:30 p.m. followed by a meeting with the Prince Rupert Rampage Oct. 14 at 1:30 p.m.
Saturday’s game against the Tomahawks starts at 7:30 p.m.
Friday, oct. 5Olympic Swim Camp and fundraising dinner
The Williams Lake Blue Fins host Olympian swim-mer Ryan Cochrane and Paralympian judo player Tim Rees for a fundraising dinner and auction at the Longhouse Friday at 7:15 p.m. The pair will each speak on their respective journeys. Prior to that Cochrane, a silver medalist in this year’s Olympics, will be in the water with the Wil-liams Lake Blue Fins at the Sam Ketcham Pool for an Olympic Swim Camp Fri-day evening and Saturday morning.Tickets to the dinner are $35, or $25 for registered Blue Fins swimmers. For Tickets contact Chad Webb at [email protected] or visit Haines Office World.
Saturday, oct. 6Stampeders visit Tomahawks
The Williams Lake Stam-peders open their Central Interior Hockey League regular season travelling to Lac La Hache to take on the Lac La Hache Toma-hawks at the Rolf Zeis Me-morial Arena. Game time is 7:30 p.m.For more on the Stamped-ers visit www.wlstamped-ers.com.

Local log truckers mentor new drivers
Thompson Rivers University currently has eight participants reg-istered in its new log truck driver training course based in Williams Lake.
Betty Turatus, TRU North’s community co-ordinator, says the students are in varying stages of their training.
Some are in Phase 1 while a few are in Phase 2 and one student is in Phase 3.
The log truck driving program is funded through the Labour Market Agreement.
The funding is shared between Kamloops and Williams Lake cam-puses.
Turatus says the Williams Lake/100 Mile House area has a total intake of 16 participants at a time.
Potential students must first meet with Turatus to determine if they are eligible for the program under the Labour Market Agreement cri-teria.
To be eligible the participant can not be currently receiving employ-ment insurance and must not have received EI within the last three years.
“The second step is to attend a panel interview,” Turatus says. “This interview is conducted as a job interview as essentially the end goal of the program is to produce trained log truck drivers for the lo-cal industry.”
Once participants have been ac-cepted into the program they will go through a three-phase program.
Phase 1 is the classroom portion of the program where students re-ceive their air brake training and a few other safety courses such as Level 1 first aid.
Students also learn to keep a log book and what to do in emergency cases such as a fuel leak.
Phase 2 is taking the Class 1 truck driver training and certification.
In Williams Lake this portion of the program is taught by Jim Hen-derson, owner and instructor with Safety First Driving School.
“I am the only truck driving school in Williams Lake so I appre-ciate TRU keeping it local,” Hen-derson says.
“It’s a great program. Betty has organized it very well.”
Henderson has been driving a truck for more than 20 years and has been a Class 1 instructor pro-viding training for taxi drivers,
ambulance drivers and large semi-trucks for the past four years.
“I have taught well over 100 stu-dents and they are all doing very well,” Henderson says.
Phase 3 is the log truck mentor-ship portion of the program.
“The mentorship component is what makes this program unique,” Turatus says.
“The participants spend approxi-mately 160 hours in a logging truck with experienced drivers learning and gathering experience.
“In the end it is a win-win as the participant receives experience and the companies/mentors will have much needed drivers.”
“It’s a great program and it’s suc-
cess is dependent on the support we are receiving from Tolko and West Fraser, and especially the local con-tractors who are willing to be men-tors such as Bruce Combs, San Jose Logging, J. Russell Trucking, and Eldorado just to name a few.”
Terry Duncan, one of the stu-dents who is currently in Phase 2 of the program, says he worked in the bush all his life as a skidder op-erator and needed a change in oc-cupation that wasn’t as hard on his back.
He’s also happy that the training is offered here in Williams Lake close to his home.
“It is an excellent program and something that is needed.”

CRD library system builds audio and e-book collectionOne of the biggest changes to the
landscape of books and reading has been the emergence of e-books in public libraries.
The Cariboo Regional District Libraries (CRDL) has seen a slow, but steadily increasing use of these electronic publications, a library press release states.
The CRDL participates in BC Public Libraries “Library to Go” service. This service provides CRDL patrons with access to por-table, digital content such as audio-books and ebooks.
The first demographics to em-brace the trend were boomers and seniors. Seniors can also enjoy the benefits of the e-book format, such as adjustable text size, and provid-ing access to many books with just one smaller device.
More recently, there has been a growing interest from parents and youngsters in the e-book format.
The CRDL branches, have most recently added TumbleBook Li-brary to the collection of databases. Tumblebook Library is an online collection of animated talking pic-ture books called “Tumblebooks.”
The books in the Tumblebook Library are existing titles that have animation, sound, music and narra-tion added.
The collection includes sto-rybooks, fairy tales, non-fiction books and books for learning. Each book has a synopsis of the story; author, illustrator and publisher information; reading time; reading level; book reviews; and acceler-ated reading info.
The “TumbleReadables” tab
takes users to a collection of on-line books without the animation. The books are narrated and each sentence read is highlighted. There are some minimum system require-ments for computers or e-reading devices in or to access Tumble-books, including Microsoft Inter-net Explorer 5 / Netscape 4.x or later, Flash 6 plug-in, and a Video display card (minimum resolution 800x600).
E-books provide an excellent means to engage children and prompting physical interaction. They are especially helpful for mo-tivating less keen readers toward engagement.
Tumblebooks includes both en-hanced e-books and more tradition-al e-books, so parents might want to make sure to involve the child
with both. However, children’s traditional
print books are certainly not going out of style either! In July of this year, over 1,300 children’s picture books were checked out.
In the case of books and e-books for children, the most important as-pect is that children are encouraged to read. Don’t forgo print for the sake of e-books, or e-books for the sake of print. Instead, a balanced approach is suggested.
In this day in age, the ability to read is only part of the picture – tra-ditional literacy skills are essential such as reading, writing, and com-prehension.
But successful navigation of the brave new digital world also re-quires new abilities, which e-books can certainly help develop.
The Williams Lake Field Naturalists will present a free public program at the Scout Island Nature Centre on Pink Mountain with naturalist Ron Long on Wednesday, Oct. 10 starting at 7:30 p.m.
The biodiversity of Pink Mountain is unmatched in Brit-ish Columbia but it is threatened by resource development.
The talk will discuss the fascinating natural history of Pink Moun-tain with an emphasis on its rare and rarely seen plants and then move on to the threat and a possible solution.
The mountain is also known for its arctic but-terflies.
Ron Long worked as a professional photog-rapher at Simon Fraser University for 36 years.
For 15 years he pho-tographed exclusively for the Biological Sci-ences Department and so has a great deal of biology in his back-ground.
Now retired Ron travels almost constant-
ly to interesting places around the world to, of course, take pictures.
Nature photography in general and wild-flowers in particular are his preferred subjects but, in fact, he photo-graphs anything that promises to make an interesting picture.
He frequently takes groups of like-minded people with him on his travels, which greatly enhances the experi-ence for all and reduces costs.
During his brief peri-ods at home Ron enjoys giving talks about his experiences to interest-ed groups.
Ron is vice-president of the Native Plant So-ciety of BC, is active in the Vancouver Natural History Society and is on the Speakers Com-mittee at VanDusen Gardens.
Pink Mountain Pro-vincial Park is located approximately 180 km northwest of Fort St. John.
The area has an in-ternational reputation as the most accessible spot in northern B.C. to observe Arctic but-terflies.

April Wine at the Gibraltar Room Oct. 15The iconic Cana-
dian rock band Myles Goodwyn and April Wine will be in con-cert at the Gibraltar Room in Williams Lake on Monday, Oct. 15.
April Wine has seen members come and go since first coming together in Nova Sco-tia back in late 1969, but has long been a favourite on the rock circuit.
The band has 15 studio albums, three live releases, numer-ous compilations, a boxed set and thou-sands of concerts un-der its belt.
With top hits in-cluding top hits such as Keep on Rockin’, She’s a Roller, Tellin’ Me Lies, You Could Have Been a Lady, Drop Your Guns, Can’t Take Another Nite, Just Between You
and Me, Nothin’ But a Kiss, Big City Girls, and Bad Side of The Moon the band has become hugely popu-lar in Canada, the US and throughout the world.
April Wine was in-ducted into the Ca-nadian Music Hall
of Fame on April 18, 2010 during the Juno Awards.
The previous year, in March of 2009, April Wine was in-ducted into the Cana-dian Music Industry Hall of Fame during Canadian Music Week in Toronto.
The band has also received The Lifetime Achievement Award for being part of Ca-nadian Music History for 40 years.
The present April Wine line-up includes original member and lead songwriter, sing-er and guitarist Myles Goodwyn, Brian Greenway on guitar and vocals, Richard Lanthier on bass gui-tar and vocals and drummer Roy “Nip” Nichol.
Nichol joined the band in April of this year and has been playing drums since he was 15 years of age. He has toured with well-known rock bands, Steeler, Sam Hill and with the Jour-ney tribute band.
Nichol is also a great singer and hav-ing four vocalists in the band at the same
time will be a new ex-perience for the leg-endary band.
After taking a break from touring, Goodw-yn is opening for April Wine’s 2012 tour.
The opening set fea-tures Goodwyn play-ing a variety of songs he composed, as well as songs that influ-enced him and sub-sequently the musi-cal direction of the group.
The band continues to satisfy fans with a live mix of straight ahead rock n’ roll and power ballads, an April Wine mainstay.
Sponsored by the RUSH radio, April Wine’s Monday, Oct. 15 concert at the Gi-braltar Room in Wil-liams Lake starts at 8 p.m.
Tickets are available for cash only at Audio Video Unlimited.

Wedding vows exchangedAleisha Dawn Rosse
and Neil Daniel Crow-ell were married July 21, 2012 in the back yard of the bride’s par-ent’s home here in Wil-liams Lake.
The Reverend Jenny Carter performed the double-ring ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Kevin and Gayla Rosse.
The groom is the son of Keith and Pauline Crowell of Edmonton, Alta.
Presented in mar-riage by her father, the bride was attended by her cousin, Shannon Graham, as matron of honour.
Bridesmaids were Amanda Miller and
Carolyn Crowell. Jarret Tomlinson of
Edmonton was the best man.
Ushers were Kalin Pitta-Rosse and Roger
Chan. Sadie Latimer was the flower girl. Kostas Pitta-Rosse of Petersburg, Alaska was the ring bearer.
The bride is a gradu-
ate of Western Oregon University where she received her B.Sc. in fo-rensic chemistry and of the University of Alber-ta, where she received an M.Sc. degree in ana-lytical chemistry.
She is an ion micro-probe technologist for the Canadian Centre for isotopic microanalysis in Edmonton.
The groom is also a graduate of the Univer-sity of Alberta, where he received a B.Sc. in chemistry. He is a labo-ratory technician for EPCOR.
The newlyweds re-side in Edmonton and spent their honeymoon fishing in Petersburg, Alaska.
Horsefly River spawning channel repairs costly
Debriefing on the Horsefly Salmon Festi-val on the Labour Day weekend was the main topic of discussion at the Horsefly River Roundtable meeting Sept. 20.
Considering there weren’t many salmon in the river there was a good turn-out for the festival with approxi-mately 650 folk at-tending, slightly more on Saturday despite the inclement weather.
There was a great turnout of young folk who were kept busy with fishy art at Mau-reen Chappell’s booth, the Gyotaku table with Maureen LeBourdais and Brandi Ranger, and the invertebrate aquarium with Sue Hemphill.
It was suggested to bring back the “water-
shed game” next year, that was such a success two years ago.
One of our expensive salmon banners was stolen. Witnesses re-ported it was stolen by a kid on a dirt bike.
A vendor policy was discussed to address issues such as a time frame for registrations; community groups, and locals versus out of town vendors. A policy will be devel-oped.
A release form for photos taken will also be drawn up to be used next year.
Trail Repairs: It was decided that once the trail has been repaired, and motor bike pre-vention aids installed, we would stick to the packed gravel for the trail, because it was fine the last time we did it.
If you are a taxpayer or parent of these biker
types, be aware that at the end of the day the roundtable will have invested $40,000 re-pairing bike damage to the trail.
We are all volun-teers, and this is pretty shabby treatment.
The Lake Keepers course was discussed and we are working towards having it in Horsefly next spring.
I managed to get down and try the fly fishing location for wheelchair bound folk.
We knew it would be touchy, and it was.
Next year we will get permission from DFO to put spawning gravel on another angle to the top of the riffle, and lay the belting in a southwesterly direc-tion. The log is also a bit much to get a fish around if a person got lucky.
It has great poten-tial, and I truly enjoyed
practicing my fly cast-ing skills, which are quite meager.
Aleisha Rosse and Neil Crowell were married July 21 and make their home in Edmonton, Alta.
