Monica Lamb-Yorski photoK-5 teachers from School District 27 take in the Tuesday afternoon session on numeracy presented by Carole Fullerton (centre) of Richmond during a two-day Summer Institute held at Williams Lake Secondary School this week.
Teachers prepare for a new year
Around 100 local kindergarten to grade 12 teachers were back in school this week participating in the Williams Lake Summer Institute held at Williams Lake Secondary School Aug. 27 and 28.
Organized by six School District 27 teachers — the two-day event focussed on literacy and numeracy, featuring local teachers present-ing as well as two major presenters from out of town.
It was the first summer institute in a few years, said one of the orga-nizers, Lori Kelly.
“In September of last year we said we needed to do a summer institute. We looked at who we wanted to have present.”
Literary presenter Adrienne Gear had been sought after to come to Williams Lake for four years, so when she was able to confirm com-ing on Aug. 27, organizers booked her. They then looked for a numer-acy person to match the direction
the district is going in, and found Carole Fullerton.
“We contacted Carole and she was able to come the next day and that’s what started the plans moving forward,” Kelly explained.
Because the organizers wanted to offer session for K-12, the days were split up into K-5 and 6-12 strands.
“While the K-5 teachers were with the keynote speakers, the 6-12 teachers were in other pods work-ing with local presenters. When the 6-12 teachers were with the keynote speakers, the K-5 teachers were in other pods. That’s the way we worked it,” Kelly said.
Feedback on the institute was positive.
Claudia Bauman, teacher at Voya-geur Elementary School in Quesnel, described the presenters as “great.”
“I think the institute has been helpful to a lot of teachers because our eyes have been opened up to different ways of teaching. It’s hard to get professional development op-portunities in the Cariboo, so it’s
been nice to be able to attend some-thing local,” Bauman said.
Marie Sharpe Elementary School teacher Cecilia Harry was filling out her evaluation of the morning session and said she was going to tick off “outstanding.”
“It’s been really well organized and I think the fact they split it up between K-5 and 6-12 was great.”
The Tribune sat in during Ful-lerton’s K-5 presentation Tuesday afternoon, as she encouraged the teachers to create math questions that engage a diversity of learners.
Touching her belly she said math is that thing that sits in your belly, often bringing back childhood memories of struggling with math.
She challenged the teachers to bring students into “thinking” about math, not just “playing with math.”
“We’ve graduated kids for de-cades who can’t think about math. We haven’t thought about math enough,” she said.
Engaging the teachers, she en-couraged many conversations amongst the teachers.
They talked about what’s working well and what the challenges are. Teachers said games work well for teaching new concepts, but keeping math tools in control is a challenge.
When it comes to good math questions, the teachers agreed they are meaningful and relevant, they engage diversity, or require thought.
“The challenge of the question is the engaging part. Good questions support diversity and engage more learners,” Fullerton said.
Fullerton told the Tribune the teachers were “rabid” for profes-sional development and she noticed they are coming from such a variety of classroom situations.
Kelly admitted people wanted more time with the major present-ers, but they also understood orga-nizers were trying to cover every-body in a short amount of time.
On Monday four booksellers were there.

TEAChERS RETURN TO SChOOL EARLY
James McCann from Kidsbooks in Vancou-ver did book talks on books that matched with presentations made by Gear and Ful-lerton.
Vernon Teach and Learn, United Library Services from Van-couver and Scholastic were also there.
“Monday was the big day. The literacy day was the bigger of the two, just by nature of the beast because I think literacy is broad-er than numeracy,” Kelly explained.
Timing worked well because teachers were already back in the classroom setting up and thinking about the year ahead.
“Monday, Aug. 27
was the only day that Adrienne had free and Carole happened to have the next day free. The stars were aligned — so that’s how it all worked.
“We’re actually meeting today to talk about next year be-cause it went so well,” Kelly said Wednesday
morning.Joining Kelly on the
organizing team were Tanis Stewart, Sandra Stokes, Frances Bisa-ro, Tammi Varney and Tracy Walton.
It was the first time the group had worked together as a team — and Kelly said they learned a lot.

CRD updated onSpanish Mountain
Brian Grove, presi-dent and CEO of Span-ish Mountain Gold and Marissa Nobauer from Cantana Consulting ap-peared before the Cari-boo Regional District board Aug. 24 to provide an update on the Span-ish Mountain Gold Mine project.
The project, which is located near Likely, has completed the explora-tion drilling phase and is now in the pre-environ-mental assessment pro-cess, reports CRD com-munications manager Shelly Burich.
The presentation gave
a high level overview of the project to date along with the economic poten-tial, expected life-span of the potential mine, and site arrangement details including open pit, mill and waste management plans.
If this mill proceeds, approximately 600 temporary jobs will be created during the con-struction phase and 300 hundred permanent po-sitions would be created once the mine is opera-tional. Further informa-tion about this project is available online at span-ishmountaingold.com.
The city’s summer student Erik Groenenberg gave his final report to council and staff at its committee meet-ing of the whole Aug. 28. Going into his second year of engineering at Trinity West-ern University, Groenenberg spent the summer doing city mapping work.
“This mapping project has been going on for several
years now. The previous stu-dents have gone over the en-tire city between them, find-ing, surveying and mapping water boxes and sewer clea-nouts/inspection chambers, as well as reporting any that are broken or buried,” Groenen-berg said in his report, adding the work ensures quick access if needed and provides a valu-able map of the city’s water and sewer infrastructure.
During his stint at the job, Groenenberg revisited water
boxes and sewer cleanouts/in-spection chambers that were not previously recorded. He kept records of everything he encountered and noted what records were available.
“I am also surveying and mapping saddle valves on South Lakeside Drive and Pigeon Avenue as they are replaced by contractors,” he said in his report.
Groenenberg told council overall it’s been a good expe-rience working for the city.
“Working with people with water and sewer systems, and understanding how the whole system works has been inter-esting. Trying to deal with people as you dig up their front lawns has also been a learning experience,” he said, adding he found people are intrigued to find out how the systems works in connection with their own properties.
When asked if he will re-turn to work for the city next summer, Groenenberg said
students can only work in that summer student position once.
“I probably won’t be com-ing back in that capacity, but in the future maybe,” he added.
In his report, Groenenberg said summer students hired by the city will gradually map everything from electrical systems to city benches in or-der to have electronic records that track city infrastructure and property.
Art Walk 2012 has passed its mid-way point and by all accounts mer-chants and artists alike are extremely happy with the results.
There have been many walkers and your Art Walk Committee hopes that the final two weeks will also finish strong.
The new program of silent auctions is work-ing very well.
Over half of the artists have items up for bid and close to 90 per cent of these have received a bid that exceeds their minimum.
Quite a number of other pieces of art work have also been sold. Long-term health of the Art Walk depends on both the artists and mer-chants doing well.
The next special event
is Dress Up Day on Thursday, Sept. 6.
Merchants, artists and the walkers are en-couraged to dress up as clowns, bike riders, motor cyclists, police, doctors, nurses, artists, cowboys, loggers, nuns, butcher, baker, candle-stick maker, book worm, plumber, miner, monk, knights, priests or any-thing else that catches their fancy.
This is your art walk and your involvement in this event will only make it better.
The art walk officially ends at 3 p.m. on Sat. Sept. 8.
Ballots will be col-lected and the winners of the most popular mer-chant and artists awards will be tabulated.
Because it is an Olympic year gold, sil-ver and bronze medals will be given out in each category.

Boitanio Mall not closing and is not for saleBoitanio Mall Man-
ager Jeanette Tuerlings and the mall owners is-sued a statement Tues-day dispelling rumours circulating in the com-munity that the mall is closing or being sold.
“We have heard many comments and rumours
about the merchants and businesses at Boitanio Mall in Williams Lake,” Tuerlings says. “The rumour about Boitanio Mall being torn down and re-developed into senior and low-cost housing is not true.
“The Boitanio Mall is
not closing.“The Boitanio Mall
has not been sold and is not for sale.”
Tuerlings says the landlord, Janda Group, is actively working on securing a new anchor tenant to replace Zellers that is scheduled to
close next year in March 2013.
She says the existing merchants will continue to serve the shoppers of Williams Lake and the surrounding area.
“The landlord and management have an obligation to our mer-
chants and the shop-ping public to maintain a welcoming, safe and comfortable shopping experience,” Tuerlings says. “With the con-tinued support of the stakeholders, merchants and shoppers we will be able to renew the
shopping centre into a dynamic and unique lo-cation in the heart of the city.”
Tuerlings says the owners and manage-ment welcome leasing inquiries.
To get more informa-tion on leasing a com-
mercial retail unit please contact Jeanette Tuer-lings at the mall admin-istration office 250-392-4169 for a tour of spaces and leasing rates.
“We offer competitive rental rates at fair mar-ket value to qualified lessees,” Tuerlings says.
City’s summer student off to Trinity Western University

I love my garden.I detest weeds and I
resent the time it takes to water. But without the liquid the green misery (weeds) grow in abun-dance and my work of planting is all for naught as they shrivel and stunt in their thirsty state.
Salvation from this toil came from the Wil-liams Lake and District Credit Union, which awarded the Potato House a grant of $2,626, and our thankfulness is as plentiful as our weeds (may they quake in fear!)
Recently the Potato House was pleased to provide a drip irrigation workshop at the 49 Bor-land St. house under di-rection of our local drip irrigation experts from Halls Organics.
Like all projects first we had to stand around and discuss the merits, location, future appli-cations and tiny details before any actual work could proceed.
Our first main line for a raised bed with its tiny spaghetti lines took near an hour to build 12 feet. We are nothing if not creative at the Po-tato House. We quickly adjusted our technique and assembly line and built the remaining three
lines for the boxes in a short half hour using the shade of the house and the surface of the Potato Dreams outdoor stage.
We have a couple of components still en route but they will ar-rive this week, and then we will have four raised beds with a watering timer ready to go — gar-deners are now needed!
It is late in the season but there is still plenty of time to plant greens
and other quick produc-ing plants.
E-mail [email protected] or call 250-855-8443 if you would like one of these automatically watered spots for the rest of the growing season.
Starting next spring members of the Potato House and the Memory Garden on Carson Drive will be pleased to offer raised beds.
Applications for these beds are being accepted
now. The Potato House can
offer nine four-feet by 14-feet beds. Current membership with the Potato House Sustain-able Community Soci-ety is all that is required ($20 for the year).
Beds are awarded on a first come, first serve basis.
To keep your bed, it must be planted and tended; in short, show it love and all its work will be yours for less
than a week’s worth of coffee (fancy coffee at $5 each — maybe you don’t get them every day … what quantity of groceries cost $20 these days anyways and gives the satisfaction of a gar-den.
The Potato House will host its “Great Potato Harvest Party” Sept. 10 at 5 p.m.
Join us for planning for next year. See what’s new and eat potato-in-spired pot-luck dishes.

ITEMS PERMITTED IN CITY RECYCLING CARTS
The only items that are permitted go into the curb side recycling cart are:
1. Paper products – office paper, magazines, newspapers.2. Cardboard – corrugated cardboard and regular cardboard such as a cereal box.3. Plastics – must have the recycling symbol on it and the number inside the symbol
must be 1 through 7. No Styrofoam allowed.4. Metal food cans – food or beverage containers. Note: all above mentioned products must be clean.
PLEASE DO NOT put glass in the recycling cart. Glass in the recycling cart could end up broken. Broken glass spoils the recyclables and puts the workers who do the sorting at a great risk of injury. Instead of putting glass in the curb side recycling cart, it can be taken to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station or Canadian Tire.
The City of Williams Lake’s garbage contractor will be putting a yellow sticker on your recycling cart if they find glass in the cart as a reminder for you that glass is not allowed.
Weather, be it friend or foe is omnipresent and never to be ignored if
a rancher/farmer’s life you lead; the day’s labour depends on the fore-cast and is most often decided by viewing the sky (night (before) or morning) instead of a more scien-
tific pre-diction. Weather h i s t o r y ( p a s t eve n t s ) can aid
us in choosing where to live, pour a foundation and put down roots; there are better and worse places. At this moment (for example) the Gulf-coast stands out as a poor choice as we see its beleaguered citizens battle the elements in an-other hurricane force storm system. Oh, my, we could use some rain, but we could certainly do without its travelling partners; the torrential (flooding) downpours and damag-ing 100-plus kilometre-an-hour winds. It appears that you have to square off with the devil every now and again, as a trade-off for residence in heaven, the rest of the time!
Regional drought has left a marked impression on range/grass lands here in the Cariboo, readily evident as one views roadside pas-tures/grazing areas throughout the region. Most look well-grazed, and are brown/ burned-off in appear-ance, in some places multitudes of grasshoppers abound and there is no saving grace in any form other than precipitation which must ar-rive very soon to generate any sort of re-growth before fall colours ap-pear in earnest.
As native forage dwindles and the feeling of fall creeps into evening/early-morning, instinct propels the cow herd homeward, so beware of those cattle on road-sides. The glorious summer heat and minimal precipitation has shrivelled late-season berry crops; as a result the bears are coming earlier - to a yard near you. There have been three separate night-raids in my back-yard orchard (two apple trees). I know they’re hungry bears - but I wish they could learn to pick apples without bustin’ all the branches!

Heritage and culture are impor-tant, and I’m so happy to see the Secwepemc way of life explored and shared at the Heritage Vil-lage.
Thanks so much for the gener-ous hospitality!

The exciting news is that there will be public meetings coming in October.
This is a great opportunity to come and learn about the pro-posed project and ask questions.
The company spent $1.2 mil-lion with local vendors in 2011, and is in the pre-application phase of the environment assess-ment process.
The mine would employ 260 people for a 10 to 15 year lifespan. This is a tremendous opportunity for our region.
Another mining update: Gi-braltar has hit the 600-employee mark, with 120 new jobs added so far this year, with another 80 jobs to fill.
A statement from the owners of Boitanio Mall are putting to rest some rumours: it is not for sale and there are no plans to close it.
It is always good news to dis-pel rumours and uncertainty.
I will continue to work with the Boitanio Mall manager and own-ers to ensure its success.
I wish everyone a great long weekend as we transition into fall and the busy school year.

Students return to schoolSchool is back in session next
week and with the end of sum-mer break we remind motorists to take extra care as children are out and about coming and going excitedly to class.
Teachers will be in schools on Tuesday, Sept. 4 but students don’t return until Wednesday, Sept. 5, then only for a half day.
Students will be in school prior to 9 a.m. for grade assem-blies and home room registra-tion, and will be released for the day at approximately 11:30 a.m. so be on the look-out for students and school buses ear-lier than usual.
Going back to school can be
an exciting time for children but in many cases a trying time for parents coping with growing children needing new clothes, shoes, and of course the all im-portant school supplies.
In this tougher than usual economy some parents may be struggling to fill these obliga-tions.
People with a little extra mon-ey to spare can help out these parents by supporting the Sta-ples School Supply Drive and the Salvation Army’s school supplies program.
Locally the Salvation Army is accepting donations of school supplies for children and is of-fering four complete changes of
clothing and a pair of shoes to children of low-income families that qualify for the weekly ham-per program.
Staples has its seventh an-nual School Drive, with hopes of raising $6,900 to help local children purchase school sup-plies. Each year Staples part-ners with School District No. 27 to help create a fair playing field for all children attending school. Many businesses and customers have donated.
By Aug. 29 $3,400 had been raised. Donations will be ac-cepted up until Sept. 15. Staples program co-ordinator Melissa Phung says 100 per cent of the monies raised stays local.

Question of the weekTaseko Mines explains employment projections
Editor:
In a letter published in your Aug. 21 edition “How would New Prosperity create 70K jobs?” con-tributor Pat Teti poses a question about how we arrived at our con-clusions about the employment potential of the New Prosperity Gold-Copper Project.
The employment potential of New Prosperity comes from a 2011 report developed by the Cen-tre for Spatial Economics (C4SE), a firm who has previously devel-oped fiscal forecasts for the Cana-dian Department of Finance.
In the New Prosperity C4SE re-port, a macroeconomic approach is taken in which the cumulative impacts of the project are project-ed over the course of the mine’s 20-year operation life.
It is a comprehensive estimate
of the economic and fiscal impact of the project’s development.
New Prosperity will contribute $11 billion to British Columbia’s Real GDP.
Based on that significant contri-bution to our provincial economy, an analysis of increased employ-ment considered not just the num-ber of jobs directly created by the mine itself, but also the jobs cre-ated by economic growth in B.C., stimulated by New Prosperity, over the course of two decades.
The report indicates that “the increase in GDP leads to an aver-age annual difference in employ-ment of three thousand.
“On a full-time equivalent ba-sis, the cumulative difference of 71 thousand workers represents about 57 thousand person years of employment added to the econo-my.
This additional amount suggests that for every one person year of employment created directly by New Prosperity an additional five person years of employment are created in the province.”
Reports, such as this, are very beneficial in helping to put into perspective exactly what is at stake for our province with the advancement of the New Prosper-ity Gold-Copper Project.
The positive impacts of the project reach far beyond the num-ber of employees that will work at the mine.
Readers who wish to learn more about the New Prosperity Gold-Copper are encouraged to visit newprosperityproject.ca

VP Corporate Affairs, Taseko Mines
The time is now to act for equality, peace and sustainability
Editor:
Beyond common autocratic dominant/submissive relation-ships derived from attitudes of superiority and inferiority ... there is the democratic “psyche.”
Its psychological spirit/soul “sees” a “better” world of mu-tually respectful social relation-ships in community ... for social equality, justice, peace, and sus-tainability for all.
Democracy bestows on all ... status as social equals.
For oligarchs, plutocrats, aris-tocrats ... growing social inequal-ity based on superior/inferior re-lationships is a “new” norm.
The power/elite monetarily controls democracy’s ballot booth, legislatures, supreme courts ... over/against “social” in-terest and welfare of “common” people ... for elevated private “elite” interests.
This “norm” is anti-democrat-ic.
Of the top 10 richest global
corporations ... seven are oil cor-porations led by Shell Oil in the Arctic.
They have massive “wealth” to secure provincial/national/global government subsidies to add (tar-sand/shale oil/gas/pipelines) to their fossil/fuel “wealth.” ... with our abetting (Harper/Redford/Clark/Mulcair/unions/pensions/jobs/gov’t revenues...etc.).
Overly powerful fossil-fuel en-ergy growth industry block legal “limitations” of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Toxic consequences of “unlim-ited” GHG emissions fit the defi-nition of “pathological pursuit of profit and power (the 4P’s)” described by Joel Bakan (Univer-sity of British Columbia).
“3P’s for “4P’s is deadly.For the power/elite “owning”
enough fossil-fuel reserves ($tril-lions+) ... sufficient to destroy civilization globally is madness.
Their monetary “control” over political parties...governments...people...allows more oil/gas/coal
development in the Arctic...to add to their already lethal reserves.
It is MAD (mutually assured destruction).
Human “induced” global warming moves beyond human control.
We need an 80 percent “reduc-tion” of GHG emissions by 2020 ... to keep global temperatures “safely?” below an “unaccept-able” 2 C by 2030.
A “safer” goal is a 1.5C limit.Humanity is “blocked” by
mega-fossil fuel interests ($tril-lions-plus) to abandon fossil fu-els as humanity’s energy base.
Humanity needs to invest in “carbon free” energy as the basis for its economy.
Time is running out.The danger is real. We have the ability to act ...
democratically. Only a massive democratic ef-
fort can meet this challenge to humanity.

The 37th annual Horsefly Fall Fair was a resounding success.
Thanks to great or-ganization by the com-bined efforts of the fall fair association execu-tives Gigi Krumsiek, Lil Manuel, and Kris Kenny, and the directors Robi Campbell, Mau-reen Chappell, Ellie Seelhof, Kristen Walk-er, Sandy McNie, Paul Hearsey, and MaryLou Barker everything ran like clockwork.
Bud and Sandy Weir, with daughter Kim, were on hand with their team of matched Suffolk Punch horses, Wrangler and Levi, two of only 25 in British Columbia.
They gave free wagon rides to anyone who wanted one, and were busy all the time they were here.
Bud and Sandy own the Cariboo Carriage business on Spokin Lake Road, and we are indebted to them for their time and efforts.
Because of the 4-H Club annual sale in Wil-liams Lake, the live-stock exhibition wasn’t heavily represented, but
the lack of quantity was made up by quality.
There were some fine goats, dogs, horses, and other pets represented.
The first order of busi-ness for the fair was the announcement by John Hollan, president of the Horsefly Community
Club, of the Horsefly Citizen of the Year.
This year we had a tie between two well-deserved recipients, Chris Gruhs and Frank Wijma.
It is unbelievable considering the cold spring and late start on
the growing season how much fine produce was displayed by the local gardeners.
Among the different categories of competi-tion the same names kept cropping up.
Sharon Godfrey took top produce honours.
Gigi Krumsiek took the flower power hon-ours.
Lori Morhart was big in preserves and baking.
Robi Campbell took honours in photography and produce.
Maureen Chappell
took honours in the quilting category.
Corrine Stromsten took some portrait hon-ours.
Sue Goglin and Kris-tina Mary took prizes in other categories related to baking, as well as
Lori Morhart and Vickie Windeler.
Best of show in the wine category went to Bruce MacLeod.
All in all it was a fine fair, and I am already looking forward to next year.

A Timeless History of the Cariboo... the Art of Liz Twan

Custom and artistic framing of anything, from baby shoes to horse shoes to needleart
Specializing in Heirlooms, Collections and Memorabilia
Monica Lamb-YorskiTribune Staff Writer
Self-taught, self-taught, self-taught — the words roll off Liz Twan’s tongue like a litany when she’s asked where she got her start as a photographer.
“I’ve always taken photos. As my boys got older, I had a few spare dollars to get bet-ter cameras and could devote more time to learn how to use them.”
Born and raised in Williams Lake, Twan recalls taking pic-tures of anything and every-thing, and as her sons — Willee and Jesse — grew older it was of the sports they were doing, mainly rugby and rodeo.
Her father Lee Skipp was a lawyer in Williams Lake. He arrived in Williams Lake to article and met Twan’s mom, Mary Latin.
“There’s a street in town named after my grandpa,” Twan says.
Unwilling to relocate when her parents moved away when she was in Grade 11, Twan re-mained in the lakecity to com-plete Grade 12 with friends rather than in the big city.
She attended university with the intent of becoming a teach-er, studying English, Political Science, History and Fine Arts. However, during one summer, she had a job with parks and recreation at a day camp.
The experience made her realize she might not have the patience to be stuck inside a classroom full time.
On one of her summers home, she met her future hus-band, Bronc Twan.
Today she and Bronc run the Alkali Lake Ranch, where Bronc has lived all his life.
As she’s evolved as a photog-rapher, she’s noticed she sees things differently. A smaller scene within a bigger one, she explains.
“I look for something a little bit not normal. You can put
five photographers in the same place and they’ll come up with something entirely different.
Now I see that with my eye before I take the picture whereas before I would take the picture and go, ‘oh, I never noticed that.’”
Besides, the cameras are so smart these days, she adds.
“I’ll be the first to admit I’ll never know what my camera can do and I’ll never figure it all out. They are mini comput-ers and they’re way smarter than people.”
When people ask her for ad-vice if they’ve purchased a new camera, she will tell them to let their camera do some of the thinking for them.
“That’s what it’s for.”Last weekend Twan helped
judge the 4-H photography contest in Williams Lake and admits it was a nightmare be-cause there were so many good entries.
“The kids have taken such quality photographs and choos-ing between them was next to impossible.”
Twan figures she takes pho-tographs almost every day, and
seldom leaves home without her camera.
Even at home when she’s working on the ranch, she makes sure to bring it along.
“Every time I don’t bring it I see something and think I wish I had my camera.”
Her photography was first featured with her articles in the Williams Lake Tribune, and one garnered her the 2006 Ma Murray Community Newspa-per Award Gold for featured colour photo, circulation under 10,000.
It was a photograph of a jet flying over the moon in a blue sky at noon, taken while at-tending a branding.
“My camera was hanging on the fence because I was wait-ing for the branding to start and thought that jet’s going to fly right over the moon in a dead blue sky. The moon was white of course and the jet looked white and the jet trail and I thought how stupid are you, your camera’s hanging on the fence. I ran and I just made it,” she chuckles, adding it was ac-tually blind dumb luck, but she recognized the opportunity.
Her photographs have been selected for the Williams Lake Stampede poster in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and recently she was at the World Hereford Confer-ence in Olds, Alta. in mid-July, where some of her photographs were exhibited in the interna-tional hospitality room.
“It was neat because visitors were from all over the world.”
Like most photographers, she’s progressed from simple point and shoot technology, up the line in SLRs and then from digital point and shoot to digi-tal SLRs.
She admits to being frus-trated when she felt the camera wasn’t taking the image she was seeing.
“It had already happened by the time you clicked. As soon as I could afford it I bought a camera that could shoot in-stantly. Point and shoot takes good pictures, but that delay when you actually put your finger down and it takes the pictures means you miss what you were aiming for.”
Her cameras are three dif-ferent Nikons and she prefers her older one for her working
cowboy pictures from long dis-tances. It seems to work better with her bigger lens.
She normally has the three going at once so she can shoot whatever is there, and doesn’t miss things by having to change a lens.
Shooting Stampedes is an enjoyable challenge Twan sug-gests.
“I enjoy trying to get a good action rodeo shot. You’re al-ways improving. Every year I go there and think I’ve done OK and then I get a little better the next year and realize I’m learning some new tricks.”
Over the years she’s learned vantage points for photograph-ing at Stampedes. Lots of times location is everything, she adds.
Aside from the rodeo events, paying attention to what’s go-ing on around the rodeo is also fun.
All photography is a huge challenge she muses.
“Sometimes you cannot al-ways make your camera get what you see because you don’t have the skills to operate that silly computer in there.”
Photoshop is something she uses, however, with her work-ing cowboy photography she takes pride in “as is” results. She might make a slight adjust-ment to the colour if it has to be endorsed somewhere, or for sun being in the wrong place to lighten something to make a face more visible, but those cases are rare.
“I do a lot of cropping though. Lots of times you have to shoot something you don’t like be-cause with live cattle and hors-es you cannot get close enough to get exactly what you want without other things getting in the way. Cropping is used a lot in my working cowboy photos, other wise I wouldn’t be al-lowed back.”
Twan’s 2012 Artwalk and Sale exhibit is at Frame Cre-ations by Bruce until Sept. 8.

The Lakers added another feather in their ball caps Sunday at the Esler Sports Complex, win-ning the Williams Lake Slo-Pitch League Year End Tournament ‘A’ division title after finishing atop the regular season standings.
The Lakers defeated the Row-dies in the final, 19-8, after los-ing to them earlier in the tourna-ment and having to play through the back door to advance to the championship game.
Linda Barbondy, league presi-dent and Rowdies captain, said the difference was in the batter’s box.
“They batted and we didn’t,” Barbondy said. “That’s pretty much all it came down to.”
En route to the finals the Lak-ers beat the NDNZ in the quater-final and the Rookies in the semi-final, while the Rowdies downed the Beer-O-Crats and the Lakers
to advance through the top side of the draw.
In the ‘B’ division final it was the Brew Jays winning a close game over the Bears, 13-11, to win the championship.
On the ‘C’ side the Wild Chick-ens thumped Qweqi, 17-7, to take the crown, while in the ‘D’ final Those Guys beat the Sluggers, 15-2.
The tournament began last Thursday with each of the league’s 20 teams playing two seeding games before a double-knockout playoff format ensued Saturday prior to Sunday’s finals.
“The weather was great for the tournament,” Barbondy said, not-ing everything went smoothly. “The year went well.”
Barbondy said tickets will also be for sale for the upcoming year-end banquet at the Long-house Sept. 15, featuring band Chilcotin Dreams, for $20 each. Year-end prizes and awards will be presented then.
For tickets contact Barbondy through Facebook or get a hold of respective team captains.
“We’re going to have lots of
prizes,” she said. “We’ll have some bats, ball jerseys, T-shirts and lots of door prizes. It’ll be fun.”

Drivers competed with heavy hearts Satur-day at Thunder Moun-tain Speedway during the annual Memorial Race.
But after a four-car paint swap during the first lap it was a clean sweep for No. 25 George Giesbrecht in the Bone Stock class. Giesbrecht took first place in the qualifying, trophy dash, heat and main event.
Meanwhile, the No. 35 car driven by Jesse Fisher in the Thun-der class followed suit sweeping all four races in his division, as well.
Thunder Mountain executive member Lynn Dunford said Saturday’s results should make for some interesting match-ups at the track’s next and final event.
“It’s going to make for some fine racing on Sept. 8 at the Points Final Championship as now only one point sep-arates Giesbrecht and the No. 66 driven by Sean Kelly in the Bone Stock,” she said.
“Fisher is [also] clos-ing the point spread on Tim Westwick’s No. 56 in the Thunders.”
In the Heartland Toy-ota Pro Mini class it was
the No. 20 car driven by Allen Roberts — the youngest driver in the class — posting the fast time during qualifying.
Later, Marius Dun-ford’s No. 2 car went on to capture the check-ered flag in the trophy dash, before Tim Rob-erts, in his No. 25 car, claimed the heat and main event.
Dunford said a big thank you is in order to Williams Lake Heart-
land Toyota, the Wil-liams Lake RCMP for leading the black flag lap, Taylor Made Cakes and Sweets and all the drivers, volunteers and fans.
Coming up at Thun-der Mountain Speed-way is the Points Final Championiship race Sept. 8, followed the next day by the final Crash to Pass of the season and Fun Day novelty racing.

CorrectionIn the story Riders
dominate at local moto-cross event in the Thurs-day, Aug. 23 edition of the Tribune, two results were posted incorrectly.
Glen Oosting, who was listed as placing
first on Saturday, Aug. 18 in the 40-plus class finished third.
On Sunday, Aug. 19 he posted a DNF.
Saturday, the winning racer was Quesnel’s Scott Davis.
Sunday, Prince George’s Dale Voldeng took the checkered flag.
Jordan Bremner, with his No. 11 car, gets set to compete in his very first Thunder class race at Thunder Mountain Speedway’s Memorial Race Saturday night.
They ran and walked 55 kilometres from Al-kali Lake to Williams Lake. All in honour and remembrance of their brother, Nick Paul.
It was the first step to what Synthia Paul and Sidney Paul hope be-comes an annual tradi-tion in Williams Lake — the Standing Strong Walk/Run — to help raise awareness about childhood leukemia and childhood cancer.
Nick, who turned 16 in March, lost his two-year battle with the disease on May 4 of this year.
Through Synthia’s conversations with Nick they decided a walk to raise awareness and to
help others was some-thing they wanted to do together. Synthia said this was their way of following through with Nick’s wishes and hope-fully helping a family in need.
“We just thought about putting awareness out there for childhood cancer and we thought maybe we’d walk togeth-er and whatever money we raised we’d donate to a family from Williams Lake in need,” Synthia said. “We’re going to give the money we raised to a little boy from Wil-liams Lake who was di-agnosed with liver cancer about a month ago.”
The walk took place on Friday, Aug. 24 be-ginning at 9 a.m. and fin-ished 11.5 hours later in
Williams Lake. Synthia, Sidney and others fam-ily members and friends who walked with them only took breaks for wa-ter and snacks when they needed them.
For the final few kilo-metres Synthia and Sid-ney carried a large poster of Nick with them.
During his fight with cancer, however, his dad James Paul said Nick never complained once. He only wanted to help other kids with the dis-ease.
“That was one of the things that our son want-ed to do was to help other kids that were fighting and other families that were fighting cancer,” James said. “It was one of his things right from the start. He did it on his
own and told the doctors they could use his blood, anything they needed.
“He said: ‘If we can’t cure mine at least help other children through-
out B.C. and Canada’ and that’s just how our son was.”
Nick’s mom Zena Chelsea said the family plans to start a founda-
tion to help a family in need every year. James added he hopes to one year walk from Wil-liams Lake to Vancouver to spread the awareness
even further.The family hopes next
year, and in the years ahead, more people come together to take part in the walk.

Labour Day has been celebrated on the first Monday in September in Canada since the 1880s.
While Labour Day parades and picnics are organized by unions, many Canadians regard Labour Day as the Monday of the last long weekend of summer break.
Non-union celebrations include picnics, fireworks displays, water activities, and public art events.
Since the new school year generally starts right after Labour Day,
families with school-age children take it as the last chance to travel before the end of summer.
An old fashioned tradition in Canada bans the wearing of white after Labour Day. Explanations for this tradition vary; the most common is that white is a summer colour and Labour Day unofficially marks the end of summer.
A Labour Day tradition is watching Canadian Football.

Traditions taught at Fish Lake Youth Gathering
The Xeni Gwet’in First Nation hosted a youth gathering at Fish Lake (Teztan Biny) on Aug. 25 and 26.
Activities included drumming, sweats, horse-shoe throwing, fish-ing, raft making, a talent show, a lahal tournament and underground cooking.
Talent show winners were The-resa Bob, Buckles and Bucky John for adult, and Tamara William and Peyal Laceese for youth. Horse-shoe throwing competition winners were William Myers and Dennis Lulua. Placing first in the lahal tournament was the Ts’il?os team of Roger Wil-liam and Dennis Lulua.
Coming second was the Xeni Gwet’in Youth Choices team.
The event was held at the site of the proposed New Prosperity copper-gold mine. Besides children of all ages, special guests included lawyers Jay Nelson and Tony Pierre, a ten-member delegation from Stl’atl’imc First Nation near Lilloo-et, Alberni/Pacific Rim MLA Scott Fraser, Saanich South MLA Lana Popham, Cariboo Chilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse, Friends of Nemaiah Valley president David Williams, and motivational speaker Terrance Richmond.
Former Fountain Band Chief Da-ryll Bob told the gathering that the Xeni Gwet’in fight to control the re-source development in their land and territory is the fight of the Stl’atl’imc people as well.

Williams Lake Harvest Fair coming up
There is nothing quite like wan-dering through a fall fair to inspire one to get a little closer to nature, even if you are like me and don’t particularly like the feel of dirt un-der your nails.
I find my own responses to the art of gardening somewhat per-plexing, even to myself, since I have spent many years in my
youth at a potter’s wheel oblivi-ous to the clay under my nails. I have also spent many hours toiling away sewing by hand and getting needles stuck under my nails. But I digress.
Even if you are like me with an aversion to digging in the dirt, there are so many more ways to participate in a fall fair than by gardening. You can participate, volunteer, or just enjoy the view.
I love to wander the main ex-
hibit hall looking at the colourful flowers and garden produce all neatly laid out for the judges and the amazing array of cakes, pies, glistening bottles of wine, canned fruit and vegetables, translucent honey, and home crafts such as quilts, photographs, knitted baby outfits, crocheted blankets, and delightful children’s art.
And a stroll through the animal barns usually turns up something unique such as a fancy rabbit or
unusual bird. The 36th Annual Williams Lake
Harvest Fair is coming up Sept. 8 and 9 and organizers are encour-aging people to enter their favorite things for exhibit and of course be there for all the fun, even if they don’t have an exhibit to share.
Volunteering is another way people can enjoy the event.
Vernon Quilt (right) helps a visitor from Kamloops peel logs for a raft-building project.
“We can always use some extra help,” says fair president Tammy Tugnum. “We have had several new members this year and that is why we have so many new things to do at the fair.
“Fresh people, fresh perspective. We are striving to bring a quality event to everyone in Wil-liams Lake and the Coast Chilcotin! Lots of fun, new things to see and do this year. New food ven-dors, new craft stuff for the kids, new entertainers and lots of favourites re-turning as well.”
The fair takes place in most venues at Stampede Park.
On the out-door stage next to the main exhibit hall in the Curling Club, Tugnum says they will be hosting local entertainers both days of the fair. The line up will feature Wil-low, Dynamic Downfall, Rachel Walker, Orin Barter, Nitehawks (Cree-Shu), Lava Lamps and magician Clinton W. Gray.
The Cariboo Cattle-men’s Association is bringing their annual Chili Cook-Off to the Harvest Fair on Saturday, Sept. 8. The Chili Cook-Off will be located out-side next to the Curling Club in Stampede Park.
“For a $5 fee you can taste the chili entries and vote for the best chili in the Cariboo!” Tugnum says.
Tugnum says the Curl-ing Club exhibit hall will once again be featuring an amazing quilt show as
well as the canning, bak-ing, children’s exhibits, photography, flowers, veggies, wine, seniors’ section, knitting, arts and crafts and assorted dem-onstrations including by the Spinners and Weav-ers on the Saturday.
“The popular carica-turist Ted Couling will be joining us this year both days of the fair,” Tugnum says. “If you are willing to wait in line your paid gate entry entitles you to a complimentary carica-ture from Ted.”
On Sunday Wise Owl Toys is setting up a craft table in the curling rink for the kids who will have a chance to make and take a great new craft item home, Tugnum says.
Representatives from the Strong Start program will also be entertaining
toddlers and younger children on Saturday, Sept. 8 and will be pro-moting an agriculture ad-venture with the kids.
The Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin and the Hough Memorial Cancer Society will also have booths set up in the curling rink.
The Beef Show is on Saturday, Sept 8 in the Indoor Trail Riders are-na, along with the sheep, goats and other assorted livestock entries. The BC Pro Bull Riding Finals go each day at 2 p.m. and the Kids Wild Horse Ride is featured each day during the intermission
of the Bull Riding. Anyone who wants
to enter the Kids Wild Horse Race should con-tact Jason Martin at 250-296-9088. Entries for this event close Sept. 4. These events are in the Stampede Rodeo Arena.
There will also be a Little Britches Jackpot Rodeo each day of the fair, Saturday, Sept. 8 and Sunday Sept. 9 start-ing each morning at 9 a.m., ending shortly be-fore the bull riding starts at 2 p.m.
Entries for the Little Britches Jackpot Rodeo had to be in by Wed. Aug. 29 at 250-296-4778, 6:30-9:30 p.m.
The gymkhana is on Sunday, Sept. 9 at 11 a.m. in the Outdoor Trail Riders Arena. Entries are open until 10 a.m. Sun-day morning. Call Nikki at 250-267-6524 or Lee-Ann at 250-305-8154 to pre-register.
Dog Agility is featured Saturday, Sept. 8 (Infield Ball Diamond) at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Karen Rogers is hosting this fun event! For more information contact Karen at [email protected]
“Cariboo Carriage, Karen Sepkowski and Bud Weir, will be pro-viding on grounds Draft Horse Wagon Rides,” Tugnum says. “This com-plimentary transportation will come in handy if you need to get from one end of the Stampede Park
to the other!”Williams Lake Harvest

Use Home Equity to Your Advantage
Canadians purchase homes for a variety of reasons. Some want the stability of owning their own home while others look at home ownership as an investment vehicle.
No matter what the reason, home ownership has proven itself to be a good, stable investment over time.
While many people have chosen to purchase their fi rst home during these times of lower interest rates, there has also been a large movement to refi nance home loans and pull out equity for home improvements, investments, college expenses, and high interest debt consolidation.
In years past many saw their homes as a long term shelter of safety. Yet today more than ever before people are willing to borrow against the equity they own in their homes to further their investment portfolios, get out of debt, send their children to university, make improvements to their home, or even boost their RRSP contributions.
Where home equity was once sat upon, today it is something to be used to one’s advantage.
While tapping the equity in your home can be a good idea, you should do so with the understanding of the process. The best thing you can do is to consult a licensed mortgage broker and fi nancial planner to discuss your opportunities to make your home’s equity work for you.

Reflective signs assist responders The deadline to pur-
chase 911 reflective house number address signs from the Lions Club is fast approach-ing.
Getting one before the deadline of Sept. 15 could mean saving a life.
The Lower South Cariboo Lions initiated the project several years ago.
This year, the Wil-liams Lake Lions Club decided to get on board for Williams Lake and local, rural, and outlying areas so 911 emergen-cy teams can be there quickly without losing
precious time timing to find those needing as-sistance.
The Lions Club, in a press release, says it has received written and verbal endorsements from police, fire depart-ments, and paramedics for this endeavor.
“Stop and ask your-self, ‘can they find me quickly, especially at night and in bad weather conditions?’
Protect yourself and family from loss of crit-ical time,” the release says.
The signs are reflec-tive anytime, day or night, but especially
at night and need to be mounted on a post or structure perpendicular to the road and be clear-ly visible about 50 me-tres from the entrance of your driveway.
This allows emergen-cy vehicles to see the signs at a distance from the road.
More information is available on the sign ap-plication forms.
For more information or assistance with instal-lation call Lions Bob or Eleanor Donker at 250-620-0503, Lion Lional Burnier at 250-398-5297 or your local vol-unteer fire department.
Planning for the Horsefly Salmon Festival this weekend dominated talks at the Horsefly Riv-er Roundtable meeting in Horsefly Aug. 23.
Brandi Ranger gave a report on the festival indi-cating the festival should have First Nations dis-plays and demonstration of fish drying, smoking, and preserving. There will be bannock for sale and a booth explaining Inland Fisheries.
Directional signage for the festival was also dis-cussed.
Posters are up every-where and directional signage will start just after the Likely/Horsefly junction.
The festival will fea-ture Gyotaku, fish dis-sections, interpretive walks, etc.
We are short on vol-unteers, and to that end Roy Argue from the
Department of Fisher-ies and Oceans will be available from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31 at or around the Horsefly library to give informa-tion and training to any-one who would like to be a river interpreter at the festival.
Please feel free to come out and participate and promote this special time in history where the salmon repeat a cycle which began thousands of years ago, and de-spite overwhelming odds
against them, continues to this day.
Other topics discussed at the August meeting included the Fraser Ba-sin, Woodjam restoration project and other projects, the upcoming feature on the Round Table in the Cariboo Connector, and the salmon walk trail de-velopment strategy.
We have received con-veyor belting from Gi-braltar Mines at McLeese Lake, and have it stored pending permission to use it.
We are going to install signs indicating no mo-torized vehicles (ATVs or dirt bikes) on the salmon walk trail, and possibly some preventative barri-ers to discourage using the trail as an alternate route to town.
It was decided to com-bine all of the various res-toration projects we have researched ($105,000), and have price estimates for, and seek funding from a variety of sources in conjunction with each other in order to enable all of the projects to pro-ceed as quickly as time
and weather permit.One of the members
present brought up an idea that Olleh Lazarchuk spoke about a few meet-ings ago regarding a one-subject flyer he would like to start, and has al-ready got a circulation out once a month. His advertising has increased so he has expanded from two pages to eight pages or more.
His next subject will be the importance of volunteers, or something of the sort, and will fea-ture the Horsefly River Roundtable; for more
information go to www.caribooconnect.com
The Roundtable ex-tends an invitation to spend some time at our salmon festival this com-ing Labour Day week-end. The festival begins Friday evening, Aug. 31 with a family square dance in the commu-nity hall with Pharis and Jason Romero, Marin Patenaude and friends. Pharis will also give a singing workshop in the hall from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 1 and Sunday Sept. 2 there will
be fish education activi-ties for the whole family down at the river from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
There will be crafts for kids, salmon and wa-tershed information, fish dissection demonstra-tions, interpretive walks, Northern Shuswap traditional fish drying demonstrations, artisans and food vendors and the interesting Japanese method of fish counting using the Gyotaku art of fish printing.
The next meeting will be at the Horsefly Library at 7 p.m. on Sept. 20.

NICA and CRD to hostgrant-writing workshop
The Northern Inte-rior Communities As-sociation (NICA) and the Cariboo Regional District Grant Writer program will co-host a grant-writing workshop for community groups, organizations and chari-ties from the Cariboo Chilcotin.
The event will take place on Sept. 14 and 15, in the City of Wil-liams Lake council chambers.
The workshop and the one-on-one sessions are free and light refresh-ments will be available.
On Friday, Sept. 14 from 7 to 9 p.m., NICA will provide a two-hour presentation on grant writing.
Groups can also reg-ister for a 30-minute one-on-one session with NICA staff mem-bers, which will be held the following day, Sept. 15, between 9:30 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The workshop will focus on how to write successful applications for the BC Community
Gaming Grants pro-gram and its current in-take for the human and social services sector.
The deadline for grant applications to this pro-gram is Nov. 30. The session will also provide valuable grant-writing basics which can be ap-plied to all funding pro-gram applications.
Community groups and organizations plan-ning on attending are encouraged to bring along applications in progress, or previously completed submissions to receive feedback on how to improve their grant-writing tech-niques.
Reservations are re-quired before Sept. 10, by emailing [email protected] or call the CRD at 250-392-3351 or toll free 1-800-665-1636 and mention you are con-firming your attendance for the grant-writer workshop.
Please specify if your community group would like a one-on-one ses-
sion and preferred time. Time slots are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
For more information about this workshop, please contact NICA workshop coordinator, Rhonda Dickson at 250-562-2553 or email [email protected]. Information may also be obtained by con-tacting the CRD Grant Writer at [email protected].
For further informa-tion about the CRD Community Grant Writer program, or to subscribe to the Com-munity Grant Writer online newsletter to re-ceive updates on grant program and deadlines, email [email protected].
The NICA is a non-profit organization with the purpose of creating awareness about the BC Community Gam-ing Grant program and supporting community groups in northern BC applying to the pro-gram.
The Senior Citizens Activity Centre in Wil-liams Lake is getting
new windows thanks to a $24,900 grant from a federal funding pro-gram.
Earlier this year, the centre received the funds
from the New Horizons for Seniors Program, says manager Glenda Winger.
Winger applied for the maximum grant of
$25,000 and says she’s happy the grant received is close to that amount.
Project manager and owner/operator of BBG Construction Bryan Godin says work to up-grade all the windows in the building at the site began on Aug. 13.
“We are replacing the wood-framed windows with a vinyl and new energy-efficient system. We’ll also seal every window with energy-efficient foam, which stops any kind of leaks,”
Godin explains. “In the old days people used insulation, but once it’s compacted by a window frame it no longer works to stop cold air from en-tering.”
As he removes the old windows, worker Mike Judd carefully places them in a pile against the front of the building.
“One of our seniors is going to recycle some of them to make a green-house,” Winger says.
Godin estimates the work will take a week.
Elder College is ready for the fall se-mester, according to Barry Sale, curricu-lum committee chair.
The first step is a membership sign-up at the Seniors Activity Centre on Wednesday,
Sept. 5, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
Membership and course registration will follow a week lat-er, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, at St. Andrew’s Unit-ed Church.
Elder College caters to those 50 years of age and older.
Courses are held during the day and are low in cost, Sale ex-plained.
New courses to be offered this fall in-clude Travel Tips for Seniors, a course on i-Movies and i-Photos, creative writing and photography.
Returning favourites
include the Cariboo History Tour, Philoso-phers’ Café and two computer classes.
Other courses in-clude Origami, draw-ing and a self-discov-ery class on the i-Pad.
Free community courses include ge-nealogy, wealth man-agement, life story
workshop and healthy living with chronic conditions.
Registration is re-quired for these cours-es.
Final registration for the Elder Col-lege courses will be Wednesday, Sept. 19, at the Seniors’ Activ-ity Centre, Sale said.

The Strand family sadly announce we will be reuniting Carl Edward Strand (August 12, 1934 - August 19, 2012) with Judith Patricia Strand (May 25, 1940 - July 8, 1983). After 29 years of separation, we hope that now they can follow their hearts to freedom, happiness and peace.
Predeceased by John (father), Mary (mother), Mildred (sister), Judy (wife), Sandy (brother-in-law), and other members of the family.
He leaves his daughters Jo-Anne & Penny (Bart), grandchildren Emmanuel, Adrienne and Justin along with brothers and sisters Ed, Bob, Dean, Iona, Shirley, and Diane as well as brother/sisters-in-law Allan (Elva) and Lorna with a mother-in-law Victoria and plenty of nieces and nephews to say farewell with our loving arms together.
Carl was not a person to stand on formalities or ceremonies and it is his wish that he be remembered as he was -- quiet, patient, loving and a determination to live life how he wanted to love it in PEACE ‘N’ HARMONY.
Donations can be made either to the Cancer Foundation or to the Denny House in his memory.
Carl Edward Strand 1934 - 2012
