RCMP deal with runaway youths

The Williams Lake RCMP re-ported a relatively steady week-end with approximately 100 calls for service and 39 prison-ers apprehended.

Williams Lake RCMP In-spector Warren Brown said the number was above average.

“Although there were no sig-nificant occurrences, the Wil-liams Lake RCMP were tied up with a number of runaway youths from group homes in the community,” Brown said.

“These are common occur-rences that tie up RCMP of-ficers for hours while they at-tempt to locate and ensure the safety of these youth.”

He adds there were also sev-eral alcohol related calls for service.

City water contract awarded

Peterson Contracting Ltd. of Williams Lake has been awarded the tender of Stormwater Man-agement Phase 5.

Coming in at $850,279, Peter-son’s was one of six bids the city received. The other tenders re-ceived were from Bree Construc-tion for $863,961, Lauren Bros. Construction for $935,022, Col-mar Construction for $1,072,381, Dawson Construction for $1,094,388 and Quality Excava-tion for $1,122,371.

In a report to council, engi-

neering technologist Jeff Bernar-dy said a second award went to TRUE Consulting Group for the design engineer for the project to-talling $30,000.

The total amount for this project is $1.2 million including an Innovations Fund grant of $771,625.00.

“Therefore, the compliant low construction tender from Peterson Contracting Ltd. of $850,279.50 is well within expec-tation,” Bernardy noted.

There are also additional costs for irrigation $23,500 and plant-ing, $14,000.

“I’m glad to see that local con-

tractors have sharpened their pencils,” said Coun. Surinderpal Rathor.

General manager of planning and operations Geoff Goodall said heavy rainstorms in June caused additional damage to the river valley escarpment that will require slight modification to the project and may result in some in-creased costs.

“We don’t think they are going to be huge, but we need to put a temporary diversion in so we may be coming back to council to let them know there may be some changes to that program,” Good-all said.

Driver named in fatal crash

The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a male who died following a motor ve-hicle incident near Riske Creek on Canada Day, as Tyson John Joseph Tenale, 25, of Williams Lake.

Tenale was driving a Chevy four-by-four which was involved in a single-vehicle rollover inci-dent on Stack Valley Road near Riske Creek in the Chilcotin about 11 a.m. on July 1 and was found deceased at the scene.

The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate this death.

RCMP seekhelp solvingassault case

The Williams Lake RCMP are looking for information re-garding an alleged assault near Commodore Crescent.

On June 29 at approximately 8:40 p.m. police located a male on Second Avenue North who appeared to have been assault-ed because he was bleeding from the head.

Police transported him to Cariboo Memorial Hospital for his injuries. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Williams Lake RCMP or Crime Stop-pers.

***On June 28 an unknown male

smashed the doors of three mail boxes in the community boxes in front of 1406 Broad-way Ave. South in Williams Lake. No entry was gained, however, the male used a rock that was lying on the ground to do the damage.

Any witnesses to this in-cident are asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP or Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222-TIPS (8477).

Several seniors in Williams Lake are hoping the city will move to ban the use of cosmetic herbi-cides because they believe the chemi-cals, specifically Par III, impact their health when they are sprayed into the air.

Canadian Cancer Society office man-ager in Williams Lake Ian Mackay is missing part of one lung and said there’s an odour to the chemicals used on lawns that hurts his breathing.

“My lungs are suf-fering and it’s a con-cern,” Mackay said. “I think there are a lot of people in the community like us. Even the people spraying are wearing masks, so it cannot be good for you.”

Since Mackay be-gan voicing com-plaints, he’s heard from more and more people who have sim-ilar concerns.

Glen Lahey oper-ates Weed and Free Lawn care in Wil-liams Lake and said he does use Par III Turf Herbicide and it’s perfectly legal.

Some of the lawns he services don’t re-quire any Par III be-cause they’ve been well-maintained.

He is licensed to use herbicides, and has not had many complaints in 25 years, he said, adding he’s cut down his use of chemicals drasti-cally.

“I had three or four people who were al-lergic to the smell of the fertilizer and all we do is call them up, let them know, they shut their windows and they are fine.”

Lahey said he uses such a “small amount” on weed control.

His company has been trying to go more natural and has been educating customers on how to sharpen lawn blades and develop water-ing routines that are more effective. He also uses a double

hose system so that only the areas with weeds get sprayed.

“Fourteen or 15 years ago they used to just spray weed control over the whole lawn so they didn’t have to come back,” Lahey re-called.

In 2012, the B.C. Government’s spe-cial committee on cosmetic pesticides released a decision not to recommend a provincial ban on the use of pesticides.

“The committee assessed all the evi-dence carefully, tak-ing more time than originally planned, and the majority of members concluded that currently there is insufficient scien-tific evidence to war-rant a province-wide ban on the cosmetic use of pesticides,” the report noted.

Over the counter sales of weed con-trol were banned last year because of mis-use, Lahey said.

“They left it with the commercial com-panies to handle and that’s us. Health Canada basically said as long as it’s used properly by li-censed people there’s no harm in it.”

The Canadian Cancer Society Southern B.C. chap-ter said around 40 municipalities have adopted bylaws re-stricting the use of pesticides and herbi-cides on private and public lawns and gar-dens.

In Williams Lake there is no ban, yet as a rule city crews only use a tiny bit of Roundup in some ar-eas.

“We use almost none when it comes to herbicides and pesticides,” the city confirmed.

Kamloops adopted a bylaw restricting the use of pesticides and herbicides in March 2010, how-ever, under the bylaw licensed companies can still use Par III.

Brent Blysma owns Culture Care Landscaping in Ka-mloops. He stopped using Par III five

years ago and has chosen to get away from herbicides and pesticides as much as possible.

“We don’t spray any pesticides or herbicides,” Blysma said. “Pesticides and herbicides are not good. If they kill something it’s not good and they aren’t good for my crew’s health or the envi-ronment.”

His company does, however, sub-contract to provide spraying of herbi-cides and pesticides if customers want them.

Blysma used Par III previously to take care of weeds in lawns because it is “incredibly effi-cient,” does an excel-lent job, and is inex-pensive, compared to labour. “If I did use it, it was because of the demand of the customer,” he said.

“They wanted weeds gone on the lawn but wouldn’t pay $1,000 for us to pick them out by hand.”

Blysma, like La-hey, has been educat-ing his customers.

“The best thing to do is grow an ap-preciation for dan-delions and realize it’s OK if there are weeds in your lawn,” he said, adding peo-ple need to keep their lawns healthy.

“The more healthy your lawns are then they will choke the weeds out.”

Patti King is a

team leader and health educator with the Canadian Can-cer Society, based in Cranbrook, and said rather than target-ing one chemical the society opposes what chemicals are being used for.

“If chemicals are being used to en-hance a lawn or gar-den, our stance is that we call for a ban for use on private and public lands, such as parks, sports fields, especially places where children are.”

Children are a spe-cial concern because they are still devel-oping, King said, adding there is grow-ing body of evidence linking exposure to pesticides with a higher risk to certain adult and childhood cancers.

“Last year the Ontario College of Family Physicians did a pesticides lit-erature review and it showed consistent links to serious ill-nesses such as repro-ductive problems, respiratory problems and neurological diseases linked with pesticide exposure,” King said.

Mckay said the next step will be to create public aware-ness in Williams Lake and hopefully make a presentation to city hall.

“I can’t believe that people would spray their lawns if they knew that it poses a health risk to oth-ers,” he said.

Cell phone, Internet service hit and miss in rural Cariboo

Cell phone and Inter-net access remains hit and miss for many rural residents in the Cariboo Chilcotin.

During a presenta-tion to the Cariboo Regional District, Bert Braybrook, TELUS general manager of customer solutions de-livery for the commu-nity, heard that message from many rural direc-tors.

Chad Mernett, direc-tor of Area K in the East Chilcotin won-dered if there are any plans for his region, and heard TELUS has yet to reach the break-even point along Highway 20.

“We’re dealing with a lot of mountains and corridors along river beds, with a lot more challenges,” Braybrook said. “As a business we’re looking to invest where we can get a solid return and right now, unfortunately, given the sparsity and the chal-lenges it’s not some-thing on our immediate horizon.

Area H Director Margo Wagner said at every single community meeting she’s asked if

cell service and high speed Internet service is coming soon.

Fibre optic cable goes through the Forest Grove area, yet people aren’t able to connect to it, she added.

“We’re not hooked up to any high speed Internet because my un-derstanding is you guys won’t make any money off of it,” she told Bray-brook.

She hears an “un-believable” amount of frustration from residents because ABC communications is in the area with a couple of towers, she said.

“I appreciate that you’re a business and you have to make mon-ey, but I don’t think you realize the amount of summer residential properties that are in my region, primarily owned by people who live in the Lower Main-land or are from Alber-ta that would be more than willing to pay a seasonal connect and disconnect,” she sug-gested.

Braybrook confirmed there is fibre optic in the area, but said other factors come into play when cell sites are built, such as the availability of power and whether

it’s sustainable, as well as real estate.

“Some people are more forgiving of hav-ing a cell tower in their close proximity and ob-viously we want to put them in where the great-est populations are.”

Wagner told him she has lots of land and would be willing to of-fer some for a cell tower.

Echoing Wagner, Wells mayor Robin Sharpe said fibre optics comes out to his com-munity and to Barker-ville but there’s no high

speed Internet.“How much is the

cost to put one in and would it be viable in the Wells area,” he asked, to which Braybrook answered on average the cost is $500,000 if things go well.

He also said some-times the capacity with-in a fibre optic system is allocated for existing network related activi-ties and sometimes is not available to TELUS.

Area E director By-ron Kemp said cell phone service in the

fringe areas of Williams Lake is nil or spotty, and he receives many complaints.

“I’m getting an awful lot of complaints with regards to this particu-larly with Eagle View which is only eight kilo-metres out of Williams Lake up the hill,” he said, adding his old bag phone got better cover-age than the cell phone he owns.

Area A director Ted Armstrong said he has received no commu-nication from TELUS

about a cell tower planned for a site near his home.

“I haven’t had a phone call, letter, e-mail or anything,” Arm-strong said.

Quesnel Mayor Mary Sjostrom said every-one wants service but whenever cell towers are proposed there is oppo-sition.

“If people want the service they have to support it, but commu-nication and education would probably allevi-ate concerns. When I was in Fort St. John last I saw a huge cell tower in the parking lot down-town by Safeway.”

High speed Internet would be an asset in Barkerville and other spots in his region, Area C director John Massier said. “We’re trying to set up a conservation learning institute and turn our 1860s class-room into a more mod-ern technological venue for people to learn,” Massier said.

Braybrook said TELUS invested $4.5 million into the Cari-boo region in 2012 on cellular upgrades or in-stallation of new sites.

“Some of those sites were mostly along High-way 24, Deka Lake, Lac

La Hache, a new site at Enterprise and as well as Soda Creek to try and fill in the blank spots throughout the Interior.”

There won’t be quite as much investment in 2013, but TELUS is looking at doing some upgrades, in and around the 100 Mile House area to increase capacity. The last cou-ple of years the chal-lenge has been the shift in technology.

Presently traditional copper wire service is what’s in place in most areas and one of the things TELUS is con-sidering is changing to fibre optic technology.

Strictly in the plan-ning stages and assess-ing costs, the company doesn’t have any firm dates to offer as to when and if the changes might take place.

Recently phone ser-vice was installed for the Canoe Creek Band, he added. New wireless sites will be installed in 2014 possibly at 108 Mile and McLeese Lake, and increased ca-pacity at Mount Bigbie, Williams Lake Airport, 150 Mile, Alexandria, Deka Lake and other areas around Williams Lake.

Locally grown food continues to sprout in popularity

Locally grown food continues to grow in popularity with support from the Williams Lake Food Policy Council.

“Our food co-op sup-ports over 50 growers and producers. We’re bringing markets to our farmers and producers,” said food policy council chair Tatjana Bates in last week’s report to city council. “To grow a vi-able food economy is also a really important one of our goals.”

Bates updated city council on its 2013-2015 projects, goals and priorities, as well as presenting a review of what’s been accom-plished since the coun-cil’s inception seven years ago.

“We do an annual report every year, but we thought we’d do something different and capture a little cre-ative video,” Bates said in delivering a video presentation of various projects. “The song’s a little funky, we’re trying to appeal to the young-

er crowd so we thought we’d move away from the cowboy theme.”

As photographs of the council’s projects such as Seedy Satur-day and the Memory Garden on Carson Av-enue flashed across the screen, the parody song, created by The Peterson Farm Brothers in 2012, I’m Farming and I Grow It, accompanied them.

“I want to point out that when I first moved here in 2002 there was a small farmer’s mar-ket on Friday and now we’ve put in 30 more

projects on our map and we’re quite excited about that,” Bates said.

Two food forums have also been hosted by the council, with the second one in January 2012.

“We went back to the community to develop a three-year produc-tion plan because we finished our first five-year action plan,” she said, adding the council is presently tweaking a document that will out-line its future goals.

One of the priorities aside from supporting

Cariboo Growers and the existing farmer’s markets, is to work on a second phase of the Community Memory Garden.

“It’s coming along beautifully, all 45 beds are full, and another 22 beds are full, and a beautiful xeriscape garden was just created around the Rayel Mac-donald memorial.

What was once a tri-angular piece of land has been transformed to life.

A two-phase plan will fit in a seating space,

fruit trees and berry bushes for students to come and learn and pick, 50 more garden beds, a greenhouse and eventually a root cellar, she said.

Coun. Laurie Walters congratulated the coun-cil for all its work, along with growers in the community who help make it successful.

Five years ago, Coun. Geoff Bourdon didn’t really care where his food came from, he told Bates. “I must say with the exposure your group’s had in the com-

munity and my own efforts to education myself, I can say half of the food I’m eat-ing is sourced locally,” Bourdon said, adding it’s ‘’really easy” and it’s “really good.” And just a matter of educating the public.

Mayor Kerry Cook commended Bates and her group for “hitting the ground and run-ning.” “You haven’t stopped and it’s amaz-ing how much you’ve accomplished in a short amount of time,” Cook said.

City RCMP contract costs to decrease for 2014/15

Report suggests city traffic control excellent

Williams Lake city council recently received a municipal contract po-licing resource request 2014/2015 report for in-formation, and agreed to provide a letter of

approval in principle for the 2014/2015 fiscal year. The net decrease in proposed RCMP contract costs to the city for the 2014 budget would be approximately

$26,700 compared to the 2013 budget, based on the existing comple-ment of 24 police offi-cers.

This decrease is con-tributed to federal initia-

tives that address cost containment for the city’s police service.

A c c o m m o d at i o n costs are also estimated to decrease $23,452 in 2014-2015 due to a rate

decrease for contracted services, and decrease in natural gas rates, as well as a change in the municipal percentage of total building establish-ment.

Council recently received a traffic con-trol review report dated January 2013 by McElhanney Con-sulting Services Ltd. and authorized staff to make the necessary changes to both traffic

signage and line mark-ings as recommended in the report.

McElhanney Con-sulting Services Ltd. completed their report in January this year and concluded that, in general, the traffic

control in Williams Lake is excellent.

Signage is logical and typically in good condition, centre line markings follow a clear strategy related to road hierarchy and traffic signals are well

timed and maintained.The report fur-

ther noted that more than 350 issues were recorded during the field visit in early No-vember 2012.

These ranged from minor suggestions

and curiosities to more significant con-cerns. City staff have reviewed the traffic control document and feel that all of these recommended chang-es can be achieved during 2013.

B.C. economy at make or brake stage maintains chamber CEO

B.C.’s economy is at a stage to make it or break it, said BC Chamber chief execu-tive officer John Win-ter.

Speaking to the Wil-liams Lake and District Credit Union, Winter said the province has a strong foundation on which to build lasting prosperity.

Gleaning from the Agenda of Shared Prosperity, a pro-gram the BC Cham-ber launched with the B.C. Business Coun-cil, Winter said the program is designed to look at creating a prosperous B.C. where all citizens benefit in economic growth and development.

“B.C. has abundant natural resources, a highly skilled and educated workforce, a diverse and accepting society, safe, healthy communities, access to the world’s major mar-kets and stable govern-ment institutions.”

The province faces its challenges, which risk undermining its potential. Many Brit-ish Columbians face a high cost of living and stagnant wages, he said.

“Young people are increasingly disenfran-chised. The province suffers an unaccept-ably high level of child poverty and British Columbians are grow-ing increasingly dissat-isfied and distrustful of the institution.”

Quoting B.C. Busi-ness Council presi-dent Greg D’Avignon, Winter said B.C. has a culture of polarized debate and collective paralysis characterized by the inclination to say no to change:

“We need to resolve these issues and we need to engage in a respectful productive dialogue that’s based on a shared fact base. We can no longer af-ford entrenched de-bates characterized by a zero-sum mindset where one side must lose in order for an-other side to win. A growing number of en-ergized and capable re-gions around the world are fighting to capture

emerging economic opportunities and we in B.C. will need to harness all of our re-sources to stay com-petitive with them.”

At the BC Cham-ber’s 2013 annual gen-eral meeting in May, members adopted 32 policies and 19 of them will go forward to the Canadian Chamber’s AGM in the fall.

One of those is a policy on supporting Canada’s responsible resource development.

“It’s very broad reaching and covers the entire resource sec-tor, whether it be for-estry, mining, agricul-ture or energy. It will encourage government to provide a much more expedited pro-cess,” Winter said. “We call for one project and one review process.”

The BC Chamber is asking for new op-portunities for for-estry and mining and calls for government to step forward and address the continued challenge presented by uncertainty regarding First Nations and con-tinued opposition to resource development often based on infor-mation that are “down-right lies,”Winter said.

In 2012, the cham-ber developed policies related to every gov-ernment ministry in Victoria.

“We’ve moved far beyond having policies on economic issues that are about taxa-tion, regulation and things that are about economic drivers to policies that are about social policies such as homelessness, crime and those kinds of things that are impor-tant to businesses.”

Crediting the influ-ence of the chamber on government poli-cies, Winter said the government has moved from its public policy agenda focus toward the resource sector.

“This is in no small part due to the work of our own chamber movement, whose pol-icy platform has been leading focused action on what is B.C.’s true resources potential.”

Pointing to the re-cent election and its increase in Liberal caucus members, Win-

ter said rarely has the province been better represented by caucus members outside the Lower Mainland.

The BC Chamber applauded the ap-pointment of Bill Ben-nett as Minister of En-ergy and Mines, Steve Thomson as Minister of Forests and Lands, John Rustad as Min-ister of Aboriginal Affairs and Christy Clark’s challenge for him to “get on with the treaty process,” and the Mary Polak as Minis-ter of Environment.

“We see Mary Polak in that role will facili-tate economic develop-ment in a responsible way.”

Winter said there was relief among the chamber membership due to the outcome of the election on May 14.

“While the chamber is not a political orga-nization, concerned only with advocating policy perspectives on behalf of its members, we knew that working with a free enterprise government had sig-nificant advantages over advocating pro-business perspectives to a government with a more broadly based policy framework with much less focus on the economy.”

The next four years will be hard work, he said, adding the elec-tion campaign revealed the differences between the major parties.

haps to a U.S., Chinese or even a Ma-laysian compa-ny, but

what about catastrophes? Some recent events could be a heads-up.

For instance, no one knows yet what dangers might be lurking in radioactive material released from the Japanese nuclear plant dam-aged by the earthquake/tsunami two years ago. Fires, floods and tornadoes are getting to be regular occurrences and no one seems to be ready for them. We don’t hear too much about it in Canada, but in some countries (including the U.S.) drought is resulting in lower food harvests, wells are drying up and water tables are falling.

What nature isn’t doing to us, we do to ourselves. Like the runaway train disaster in Quebec; oil spills anywhere and everywhere; and the latest, a petrochemical “sheen” on the Athabasca River apparently coming from the tar sands. In B.C. we have concerns about fracking for gas and the possible negative impacts of industry on our water-sheds and ecosystems.

Williams Lake should be safe from floods and tornadoes, but there is always fire, and the city has both highway traffic and trains running through it. I believe we have emergency plans. Let’s hope they’re up to date.

As Minister of Commu-nity, Sport and Cul-tural Development,

one of the programs my minis-try looks after is the Community Gaming Grant program. This is a wonderful program which really gives back to the community or-ganizations that make our cities and towns such great places to live.

Organizations throughout the province can ap-ply for gaming g r a n t s, as long as they

have been operating for at least one year prior to their application and fall into the category of arts and culture, sport, environment, public safety, human and social services, or parent advisory coun-cils and district parent advisory councils.

Gaming grants are awarded in batches on a rolling basis through-out the year, and a large number of organizations get funding for all sorts of programs and services. We expect around 5,300 organi-zations to share $135 million in gaming grants this year!

This includes organizations right here in the Cariboo — just last month, the Quesnel Agri-cultural and Exhibition Society received a $10,000 grant to go towards funding the Quesnel Fall Fair 2013.

If you work for an organization that may benefit from community gaming grants, don’t miss out on a great opportunity! Right now, applications are being accepted for the environment and public safety categories, with an applica-tion deadline of Aug. 31, as well as for human and social services, with a deadline of Nov. 30. It’s important to know when and how to apply; to find out more, visit https://www.gaming.gov.bc.ca/gaming/home.do.

I hope to see many local organi-zations benefitting from this great program!

New pot rules need debateIt’s obvious the federal government isn’t wor-

ried about communication.It was in June that Health Canada announced

new policies regarding medicinal marijuana and that plants would no longer be grown in residen-tial settings. Instead, industrialization of the pro-cess will take place.

However, local authorities such as the Regional District of North Okanagan still don’t know what implications the new policy will have on them and their responsibilities for land use and ensuring buildings meet code.

“A lot of people are scratching their heads about this,” said Rob Smailes, RDNO’s general manager of planning and building.

And during a conference call with other local and provincial jurisdictions Thursday, it was clear that RDNO isn’t the only one unsure of its role.

The concerns are valid as these large-scale op-

erations have the potential to be unlike anything local authorities have had to approve before. It’s anticipated they will be concrete or brick to en-sure security and will follow different designs than a barn. For areas outside of the Agricultural Land Reserve, communities will have to deter-mine if industrial zoning is in place.

Many issues that have arisen with residential marijuana-grow sites will continue as well, in-cluding odour from chemicals and the potential fire risk such materials can create.

With 2014 just around the corner and Ottawa bent on implementing its new rules, now is the time for the federal government to sit down with local authorities and discuss what its expectations are.

After all, it will be local communities dealing with any fallout.

Keeping a promise through miserable conditions

Late report raises concerns

Editor:

An open letter to mayor/council – City of Williams Lake.

The City of Williams Lake officially served public notice on July 3 that its 2012 annual report was now available for public review and comment with the public being able to openly question items in the re-port at the council meeting on July 16 at 6 p.m. in Williams Lake council chambers

The one and only question I have is — why does this council say it’s OK to twice submit your annual report late?

The last one being submitted late was in 2010, which is con-trary to sections 98 and 99 of the community charter.

If your colleagues in Quesnel and 100 Mile House can submit their annual reports on time, why can’t you?

Is it because there appears to be a leadership paralysis is-sue in the mayor’s office, here in Williams Lake?

I hope you’ll take the oppor-tunity to explain this on July 16 because I think residents of Williams Lake are entitled to an answer.

Steve ForsethWilliams Lake

Editor: A recent trip to Calgary and

Lethbridge proved to be quite a challenge, arriving at Golden in pouring rain we were told that due to high water a bridge was under threat of being washed out at Canmore.

Reports by truckers said that mud slides had also occurred further east along Highway 1, also that traffic was not being allowed past Golden.

We soon found this out, as Highway 1 virtually stopped at Golden. No one but locals could get past the light at the foot of the hill.

How important was it for us to carry on — grandpar-ents having promised to attend

graduation ceremonies for two grand children, plus the prom-ise by great grandfather to give a great grandson a baby bless-ing, a ceremony somewhat like a christening.

Following consultation with truckers, we decided to head south on Highway 95.

This would add considerable distance to our proposed trip, but a promise is a promise.

Not too much traffic and the highway is much improved since our last trip down this route.

The miserable part of this, however, was the continued heavy rain coupled with grow-ing darkness and the oncoming number of idiots with oversized wheels and extra bright lights totally blinding this driver on a

more than regular basis. The height of the headlights

could be legal under the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act; however, headlight brightness is a new troubling factor for anybody with slow acting pupils. I would hate to be a marijuana smoker.

Spending the night at Fernie, with much concern for slides and flooding that was occurring ahead and behind we made our way through Crows Nest Pass on Highway 3.

Clearing a troubled area at Elkford we continued on our way toward Calgary.

Later Highway 2 passing Fort McLeod, a near river located campground now totally flood-ed, left camper vehicles in the middle of a river lake.

At Claresholm we received advice concerning the road ahead, flooding at Nanton and High River had at times closed Highway 2, but now appeared to be passable.

We then received advice for getting around Calgary pass-ing High River to our left, kilo-metre after kilometre is totally flooded.

At Calgary we followed the route as suggested traveling at the rate of half a kilometre per hour for several kilometres, complicated with several wrong moves, three hours following our entering Calgary we arrived at our destination.

Apply Christian philosophy to businessEditor:

Recently the CBC had a poll on the question: Do you believe that the word God should stay in Canadian culture?

They had the highest response, ever for one of their polls, with 86 per cent wanting to keep God Keep Our Land in the national anthem.

I am not a regular church goer. I do go sometimes to bond with loving people.

I doubt there is a supreme en-tity on a throne somewhere. I do believe in Christian philosophy, and I appreciate similarities in Buddhism.

But I also see how the UK has

got messed up letting go of their Christian heritage and enacting overindulgent legislation toward other religions.

“God” represents part of our culture that serves to repre-sent our historical and current Christian ethic way of life.

If anything we need to em-phasize the concept of God be-cause we have drifted away from caring for each other.

We have become dominated by a corporate monarchy, led by greed for money and power.

We overvalue things and im-age. And we have also dumped the seventh day as one of rest and contemplation.

Surely we need to turn that

around, and reconsider that Christian philosophy was fun-damentally early socialism, fo-cused on loving and caring.

But socialism has unfortunate-ly become a dirty word.

Shouldn’t we manage the economy, not just to provide good services, but also to pro-vide income to people, even without the capacity for com-plex skills.

I believe Sweden has done this.

The current paradigm of a corporate dominated society has done away with jobs by technology, and exporting jobs to foreign lands.

We need a paradigm of pro-

viding goods and services for people by businesses that pay adequately for public resources and pay adequate taxes for the privilege of a business license.

That paradigm could include co-operative businesses that re-tain free enterprise, if they are well led and focused on serving.

But if you still feel like keeping your loyalty to big corporations, notice that General Motors has been moving their production to China, in spite of GM having received corporate welfare from North American governments for years.

Kindness will be rememberedEditor:

I would like to thank Alan Clark of Clarks Gravel Products of Williams Lake for coming to my rescue after the heavy thun-derstorm of Saturday, June 22.

I am a slightly handicapped senior who uses a walker to get around, and on the day of the storm, my property was literally deluged with water rushing down two streets to meet at my drive-way.

The two drains on the street

were unable to handle the vol-ume of water, which first pooled in my driveway, which then spilled around both sides of my house and ran down to the lower garden, destroying the path on its way.

I expected my basement would be flooded but luckily there was minimal damage there.

Early Monday morning I spoke to Alan Clark and asked him for a quote for half a dump truck of gravel.

As I knew nothing about types

of gravel, he asked if he could come over and take a look at the damage.

He arrived within a half an hour, examined the area and advised me as to what would be best.

We agreed, and I asked him what the cost would be so I could prepare a cheque.

His answer was that he had ex-perienced a good business year and that he intended to give me the gravel for free.

Mr. Clark’s incredible gener-

osity to a complete stranger was very much appreciated, especial-ly after such a traumatic experi-ence.

Williams Lake should be very proud to have such a wonderful man living and running a busi-ness in our town.

Mr. Clark is an asset to our community and I will remember his kindness forever.

Thank you Alan.

It was a redneck affair at the Esler Sports Complex Saturday when You Better Redneckognize took on the Housecoat Hillbillies in the final of the Fourth Annual Clark Classic Soccer Tournament.

And when regulation decided nothing, it came down to penalty kicks. Housecoat Hillbillies’ sisters Ashly Hay and Angela Hay-Vicars both found the twine on You Bet-ter Redneckognize keeper Leah Watt to ice the victory.

The win marked a come-from-behind effort as both Tanya Ia-chetta and Ashley Callander scored early in the second half for You Better Redneckognize, before the Housecoat Hillbillies tied it up in the dying seconds of regulation.

Housecoat Hillbillies’ forward Allison Levens scored first while Hay-Vicars notched the tying goal.

In semifinal play the Hillbillies downed the Gus Dynasty 2-0 with Levens scoring twice to reach the championship. In the other semi You Better Redneckognize edged CIFAC (Cariboo Initial Fire At-tack Crew) 2-1. Ryan and Watt both scored for Redneckognize in the winning effort.

The tournament, dedicated to longtime lakecity soccer coach, player and mentor Clark Glan-ville, featured five co-ed teams dressed in their trashiest redneck attire for this year’s theme.

Andrea Gustafson, one of the tournament organizers, said Clark’s contribution to soccer in the community helped pave the way for many young players to continue on to play the game at a

high level.Clark, along with his wife, Bev,

took in the day’s festivities as both of Clark’s sons, Ryan and Sean Glanville, played in the tourna-ment and in the final.

Both the first- and second-place teams graciously donated their tournament winnings back to the

tournament to help send Clark and Bev on a holiday. In previous years the tournament has been used to help fundraise for the Esler Sports Complex’s playground.

The tournament featured seven-a-side play with three men and four women on the field at all times with five teams competing.

CIHL loses a team, adds another

When the Williams Lake Stampeders take to the ice this fall, the league will be much dif-ferent than when the final horn sounded at the end of last sea-son.

The Omineca Ice of Vander-hoof are no longer a part of the Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL).

The team, which finished with a 6-10-2 record but strug-gled with icing enough players, informed the CIHL of its inten-tion to fold during the annual general meeting in Smithers re-cently.

The departure of the Ice, however, is offset by the return of a familiar foe.

“The Hazelton Wolverines met the deadline and have pro-vided all of the necessary cre-dentials and documentation,” said CIHL president Ray Hal-lock of the Wolverines, who folded at the end of the 2012 season. “They will be playing next season.

“This is good news for the league … the return of the Wol-verines makes the existing east, west split continue to work for scheduling.”

As for the product on the ice, the executive voted to do away with the automatic shoot-out in the event of a tie. By a unanimous vote of executive and player reps, games that end in a tie during regulation next season will enter a five-minute, four-on-four overtime period before proceeding to the shoot-out.

“It was something that a player from Kitimat brought forward and something every-one agreed with,” said Prince Rupert Rampage defenseman Derek Baker. “From a player perspective going straight from regulation to a shootout isn’t the best way to go, so we’re looking forward to giving the fans that extra entertainment.”

The 2013/14 season will in-clude an 18-game schedule with three divisions. The west in-cludes Prince Rupert, Terrace and Kitimat; the central in-cludes Hazelton, Smithers and Houston; and the east includes Quesnel, Williams Lake and Lac La Hache.

Clark Classic gets redneck

Blue Fins compete at AAA provincialsThe Williams Lake Blue Fins

Swim Club wrapped up its season this past weekend in Vancouver at UBC where three local swimmers attended the B.C. AAA Swim-ming Championships.

Kara Zavitz, Coral Choi and Madison Blusson competed against the best in the province and came away with some very good results, said Blue Fins head coach Chad Webb.

Zavitz, in her first year at pro-vincials, nearly made the finals in the 200-metre backstroke as she swam a three-second best time and finished 11th overall in the province among 13-year-old girls.

Blusson finished 12th in both

the 100-metre breaststroke and 200-metre breaststroke in the 13-year-old girls division where she just moved to for her age group.

Choi managed to make it into the finals in both the 50-metre freestyle and 100-metre breast-stroke, but narrowly missed the 200-metre breaststroke final, plac-ing ninth by less than a second. In her 100-metre breaststroke she placed eighth overall.

Choi’s 50-metre freestyle was her best result, where she placed eighth going into finals. There, Webb said she swam a great race touching out two other swimmers to finish a solid sixth place.

Webb said the meet concludes the season for the Blue Fins, who will resume training again Sept. 16.

Webb, who is finishing his first season back with the club, was happy with the year.

“We increased enrollment by more than 30 per cent, increased our competitive enrollment at meets and had a few more quali-fied swimmers at the provincial meets,” he said.

“Next year we aim to keep going in the same direction. We made a lot of changes this year and the parent group to help organize the club seems even bigger and better for September.”

Saturday, Sept. 7Tour de Cariboo

Williams Lake Big Brothers Big Sisters are inviting anyone interested to sign up for this year’s 21st annual Tour de Cariboo bike ride from Williams Lake to Gavin Lake. Sign up for the Tour de Cariboo today. To register contact BBBS at 250-398-8391 or register online at www.bbswlake.com. Pledges can also be collected online.

If you have already registered to partici-pate in this year’s Tour de Cariboo on Sept. 7, congratulations.

If you are still on the fence and uncertain of whether you have the right equipment, bike fit, or worried about how to train in order to feel prepared to complete the distance, don’t worry — there is more information to come to put you at ease and motivate you to commit to participat-ing in this great event.

Are you in the mar-ket for a new bike?

There really is noth-ing more important for creating a great cy-cling experience than matching yourself, — your body, goals and dreams — to the right bike. There are a vari-ety of ways to fit a bike and since everyone and every type of bike is different, sometimes it’s easiest to speak to someone with years of experience. This will al-low them to identify a bike that will suit your needs, goals and expec-tations. Scott Gordon at Barking Spider and Mark Savard at Red Shred’s are both excel-lent resources in Wil-liams Lake.

For those of you who already have a bike here are some ba-sic tips. A proper bike fit is essential to mini-mize your risk of inju-ry and maximize both comfort and efficiency of your ride. Remem-ber — these are good general guidelines, but the ultimate no. 1 rule with bike fitting is comfort.

The first step to proper bike fit is to make sure you have the right frame size. Stand over your bike’s top tube (in between the saddle and handle-bars). The general rule-of-thumb for road bik-ing is to have roughly one inch of clearance between your buttocks and the frame, for mountain biking on trails, you should have two to six inches de-pending on the terrain.

From here, we are going to discuss the proper set up for road riding. What you will need is your bike, a

helper (friend, fam-ily or volunteer) and a plumb line. The first step is finding the appropriate sad-dle height. Sit on the saddle with your hips parallel to the ground. Place the crank arms of the pedals in line with the seat tube (your feet are at a 12 and 6 o’clock posi-tion). When your foot is at the 6 o’clock posi-tion, you should have a slight bend in the knee — approximately 10 degrees is desired.

When making sad-dle height adjustments, make them slowly, as even a one-centimeter adjustment can have a drastic effect on how the bike feels and it may alter how stress is placed through the knees.

Next is to adjust the fore/aft saddle position and saddle level. To do this you want to place the crank arms of the pedals so they are par-allel with the ground (feet in 9 and 3 o’clock position). Have the helper drop a plumb line from the front of the knee that is in the 3 o’clock position down to the ground. The plumb line should fall through the center of the pedal (pedal axle). If it falls in front of the pedal, you will need to move the saddle back a little and conversely, if it falls behind, you will need to move the saddle forward a little. For saddle level, as a general rule, it’s always best to start with the saddle in a perfectly level position. If you are sliding forward from a forward-tilted saddle your neck, arms and back will be taking more stress and strain, and if the saddle is tilted backwards, you may place undue strain on your low back.

When you lean for-ward, placing your hands on the handle-bars, the handlebar should obscure your view of the front hub. If the hub is in front of the handlebar, you will need a slightly shorter stem and if the handle-bar is behind, you will need a slightly longer stem. The body angle when hands are on the handlebars should be approximately 45 degrees; however, this

varies depending on the type of bike and the fitness level of cy-clist. If you are a com-petitive cyclist, you may want a slightly steeper angle for better aerodynamics whereas if you are into tour-ing or new to cycling, a more relaxed angle is more comfortable. Lastly, if you ride a bike with clip-less ped-als, determining the position of the cleats on your cycling shoes is very important. Mis-aligned cleats can put stress through all joints

of the lower body. The cleat should

contact the pedal at the ball of your foot and the feet should point forward when clipped into the pedals.

A bike helmet is mandatory. The helmet should fit snug, touch-ing the head all the way around. It should sit level with the chin-strap comfortably snug and stable enough that it remains in place in the event of a fall. Ad-ditional equipment to discuss — need to have and nice to have — in-

clude padded gloves, padded cycling shorts, a multi-tool, pump, spare tube and tire le-vers. Padded gloves are helpful in absorbing vibration and prevent-ing road rash. Padded cycling shorts are a great investment espe-cially for longer rides. Carrying a multi-tool, pump, spare tube and tire levers will ensure you have the tools nec-essary to change a flat tire and tighten any component on the bike that may work its way loose. Do remember that the tour does pro-vide support drivers with the tools to help you out if you or your bike experience any distress.

For more informa-tion or clarification, there are many help-ful resources online by searching key words “bike fitting.”

To register for the Tour de Cariboo, con-tact Williams Lake Big Brothers and Big Sis-ters at 250-398-8391 or on-line at www.bbsw-lake.com. Pledges can also be collected on-line.

Stay tuned for an upcoming article on training tips.

I’ve been with the British Columbia Ambulance Service for over 39 years and during that time it’s been my pleasure to work with some very � ne people. They are highly trained and dedicated professionals. Let’s not forget their families who experience, all the disappointments when the paramedic is sent on a long call at the end of his or her shift. It’s family time they will never get back. If you want to become a paramedic, consider the cost. When someone needs help, we’re dedicated to respond as quickly and safely as possible and to provide the best possible service to the � ne people of British Columbia. The problem is time; time is our

enemy. We cover a vast area, and it takes time to get to the scene of the accident, injured or ill person.

What can you do to help?If you need an ambulance, please

call 911 and give accurate directions.Please take a � rst-aid course,

including C.P.R., and please pull over and let the ambulance pass, as seconds may count.Please drive safely and take

precautions to keep your family safe in all areas of your life. You will make a paramedic happy.From myself and my fellow

paramedics please have a happy and safe summer as you enjoy this beautiful Cariboo country we are all fortunate to live in.

Alexis Creek Ambulance is a vital service in the community, covering a huge area from Tatla Lake to Riske Creek, and the only ambulance service between Williams Lake and Anahim Lake, often using Kamloops Air Vac depending on the emergency.

The crews have to work against poor weather and road conditions, often putting their lives on the line to get patients to de� nitive care.

We would like to give a special thank you to the bystanders, the community, the Alexis Creek RCMP and Outpost Nurses for assisting us this past year.

Sprockids hit lakecity mountain bike trails

The Sprockids program at Boys and Girls Club is on a roll and off to a great start, taking kids on bikes into the wilderness to stay active, make friends and develop new skills that can carry over into the rest of their lives.

Youth services leader David Faubert said Sprockids is a life skill-building program where kids learn things like teamwork, goal setting and leadership.

They also learn practical skills like maintenance, troubleshoot-ing with their bikes and staying safe.

Kids can bring their own bikes to Boys and Girls Club or can have them provided, and some parents volunteer to help out on the rides.

There is a beginner/interme-diate group for ages 9-12 on Monday and an advanced group for 12 and up on Wednesday. “Sprockids is a free, drop-in pro-gram,” Faubert said. “Your par-ents sign a waiver and you can come any day you want.”

“The advanced group bikes on trails at Fox Mountain, Es-ler and South Lakeside, and the beginner group does some of the easier trails on Fox Mountain, as well as the River Valley,” Faubert said.

“Throughout the season we pace them to see where they’re at — every time we try to challenge them more. The older riders pair up with the younger ones to sup-port and encourage them.” The group climbs in the Boys and Girls Club van pulling a trailer with the bikes, and heads off ev-ery week for great adventures in

the Cariboo wilderness, accord-ing to Faubert.

This is the second year that Faubert has done the Sprockids program at Boys and Girls Club, and he said that a great side ben-efit for him personally is a big improvement in his health and his coordination.

“It’s just great to be with kids in nature — we have such great variety in our wilderness here,” he said.

“Sometimes we have a chal-lenge day and ride from the Boys and Girls Club to the site. Our ‘ride guides’ are very experi-enced,” he added. “Before we hit a steep hill we’ll stop and they’ll

give the kids pointers about turn-ing and using their brakes.

“Williams Lake has world-class bike trails — known around the world. This is such a great resource for our community,” he said.

“Special thanks goes to Mark at Red Shred’s for all the support they’ve provided to this program and to kids in our community.”

He also said that the free pro-gram, open to all kids, runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the sum-mer and as far into the fall as possible.

“The goal is to keep the kids active, outdoors and engaged. Sprockids also builds social-

izing skills, and it’s so great to watch the kids take on leadership roles. The kids get a real sense of achievement at the end of a challenge — they feel really good about themselves,” he continued. “Setting a goal and succeeding is powerful.”

The Sprockids program is in need of used bikes for the young-er kids.

For more information about joining the free program, vol-unteering or donating a bicycle, phone 250-392-5730 or email [email protected] or visit www.bgcwilliamslake.com and follow them on Facebook for upcoming programs.

Arts on the Fly rocks Horsefly this weekend Horsefly’s incredibly popular

summertime festival, Arts on the Fly, is going full steam ahead with its eighth annual festival coming up this weekend, says event com-mittee member Pharis Patenaude.

There is a full schedule of per-formances and events Friday eve-ning, July 12, and all day Satur-day, July 13.

Growing from a single day festival in 2006, the festival now attracts audiences from across Western Canada and beyond, with acts from around the world coming to this small beautiful town, Patenaude says.

Friday night opens at 6:30 p.m. with a special opening ceremony and continues with a full night of entertainment.

Saturday gates open at 12 p.m.

with local acts and continues un-til late night with entertaining and danceable bands.

This year’s festival includes the sublime early jazz trio the Company B Jazz Band (Vancou-ver), the groovy polyrhythms of DRUMHAND (Toronto), the funky rootsy Dixieland sounds of The F-Holes (Winnipeg), African drumming troupe Kunda (Guin-ea/Sunshine Coast), songster/bal-ladeers Scott Cook (Edmonton) and Ben Rogers and the Black Oats (Vancouver), blues funk-sters Apollo Cruz (Saskatoon), gypsy jazz folkies

The Rakish Angles (Gibsons) the soulful R&B of High Soci-ety (Vancouver) and the reggae rhythms of Third Branch (Ed-monton).

It also includes local favou-rites Sam and Rowan, Marin Patenaude, and Pharis and Jason Romero.

Both days will showcase “tweener” acts primarily by local and regional youth.

Saturday will also feature an all-acoustic stage where many of the performers who are on the main stage will get a chance to play in an intimate setting for a listening audience.

Festival goers can take part in workshops (songwriting, sing-ing, dancing and more), wander through the food and wares ven-dors market, enjoy a delicious meal by chef Martin Comtois, or bring the young ones to Satur-day’s Kids’ Zone.

The Kids’ Zone this year will

run most of the day Saturday, with workshops where kids can make a hulahoop, recycled key mobiles and windchimes, or en-joy a nature walk and nature-in-spired crafts with guest presenters the Scout Island Nature Centre.

Advance tickets are avail-able online at www.artsonthefly.com/tickets.html, in Horsefly at Clarke’s General Store, or in Wil-liams Lake at the Bean Counter.

Lorne Dufour celebrates launch of his new book

Local talent showcasedThis year’s Perfor-

mances in the Park summer concert series kicked off last Thurs-day, July 4 with perfor-mances by Angelkeys Music Studio featuring the sweet voices of An-gelkeys Children’s Choir and solo performances by very talented young singers followed by the toe tapping tunes of the Old Time Fiddlers.

Thanks to the sup-port from the City of Williams Lake, the Cari-boo Regional District and local sponsors, the stage will light up in Boi-tanio Park each Thurs-day evening from July 4 to Aug. 22 with talented local and provincial per-formers. From 6 to 6:45 p.m. and then from 7 to 8 p.m. each Thursday evening will be filled with family friendly en-tertainment.

Having two time slots provides opportunity for young performers to grow their stage legs and on some nights there will be two main acts, say event organizers.

Michelle Erlandson and Music for Life will be featured this Thurs-day, July 11 followed by Colin Easthope and the Coal Harbour Band.

This rising Canadian songsmith fills the air with warm harmonic tones and a surpris-ing sincerity. Some of the band members hail from Williams Lake in times past.

On July 18 the Wil-liams Lake Youth Fid-dlers and Friends take the stage, followed by the high-energy, up-tempo and spacey electro funk rock of Brent Morton and his new act When the Walls Bend. Both are sure to entertain.

Williams Lake’s got Talent on July 25 fea-tures young Williams Lake singers who de-light and mesmerise audiences with jazz and folk songs, followed by the foot-stomping coun-try gospel tunes of New Journey.

Aug. 1 features the Eagle Spirit Band’s country rock and Jor-dan Holmes will take you through a fusion of blues, folk, soul and Eastern music to jour-ney through dreams-capes and drift on after-noon clouds.

The up-and-coming rock band Beautifully Haunting is playing original tunes on August 8 followed by Perfect

Match, who are playing cross-over country/pop/light rock with lively originals that are easy on the ear and good for the heart.

Locals Robyn Fergu-son and Oren Barter are teaming up on Aug. 15 and Brett Wildeman will charm the audience with raw coastal folk inspired by his upbringing in a rural coastal environ-ment.

The final perfor-mance night on Aug. 22 will see Rowan, Kylie and Sam, a trio original-ly from Williams Lake, singing covers and origi-nal tunes, and My Wife’s Quartet, an experienced and talented group of musicians who will play to your heart and soul.

Check out www.face-book.com/performanc-esinthepark or www.centralcaribooarts.com/performances.html for updates, details and pic-tures from Performanc-es in the Park concerts.

Performances in the Park is presented by the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society, the Cariboo Regional District and the City of Williams Lake with the help of local business sponsors.

Author pens first fantasy novel

RCMP Musical Ride next weekThe Royal Cana-

dian Mounted Police Musical Ride will be performing at the Wil-liams Lake Stampede Grounds in Williams Lake on Thursday, July 18.

There will be one show only at 6:30 p.m. with other entertain-ment leading up to the

performance.The horse stables

will be open to the public at no charge from 9 a.m. on July 18 except during show time.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for chil-dren and available in advance at Cariboo GM, Margetts Meats,

J & E Gifts, Tay-lor Made Cakes and Sweets and the RCMP Detachment office.

Tickets will also be available at the gate prior to the start of the event.

Proceeds from the ticket sales will be do-nated to the commu-nity.

Jay Earl Robert-son is the Cariboo’s latest author — self-published and happy to get his first work under his belt.

Earlier this year he saw the first of five fantasy fiction books he plans to write be-come a reality. War of the Frozen Fire ar-rived back from Vir-tual Book Worm re-cently and Robertson is pleased as punch.

If you love the twisting plot of light and dark forces bat-tling it out with hu-mans, elves, dwarves, fairies, were-beasts, gargoyles, orcs and underworld charac-ters in the manner of Lord of the Rings, Robertson might be the author for you.

And if you get into his lively plot of the defenders of Masta-sia trying to solve the mystery of the frozen fire threatening to destroy their world, don’t be dismayed. War of the Frozen Fire is just the first of a pentalogy (five volumes) Robertson plans to write.

His fantasy fiction has been a long time coming.

“It was in 2000 when I did an outline for the whole thing as a 23-year-old,” he says.

He lists the other four volumes that are a work-in-progress at the moment. “Blue Moon over Wishwa-ter, Book of Blades, Amethyst Morning and Cions of Shad-owdawn.

“The outlines are mostly done but the other books aren’t published yet.”

Robertson, who

works in the dairy de-partment at Williams Lake Walmart and was training to be a phlebotomist (some-one who draws blood from people), finally achieved his dream of becoming a pub-lished author when he discovered Virtual Bookworm.com, a self-publishing com-pany in Texas asso-ciated with Amazon Books.

He says when he sent his manuscript to Virtual Bookworm, they liked it right away.

“They had three editors look it over.”

He says he went to them because they screen the works sub-mitted to them and they pay the highest royalty he could find.

“I own all the rights and get paid a royalty on any books that are sold.”

He says he is sup-posed to get a royalty cheque once a month as long as it is $25 or more.

“I’m not sure how

much I’m going to get because I haven’t re-ceived a royalty pay-ment yet.”

It cost Robertson $865 to self-publish and for that price the company did the edit-ing, designed the cov-er, set up the ISBN number, and sent him five paperback copies of the book.

Getting copies of the book is fairly straightforward be-cause it is print-on-demand from the publisher, virtual-bookworm.com. It costs $14.95 for the 380-page paperback, plus shipping and handling, and $9.99 for a Kindle e-book edition.

It can also be or-dered from Amazon.com and Amazon.ca for a slightly higher price, and Robertson is checking with local bookstores to see if they are interested in carrying it.

So far Robertson has tracked sales of his book to Europe, Canada and Texas.

He has friends in Quesnel who ordered the book and got it

right away. While the Kindle price is cheap-er, he says his friends want the paperback version so they can get him to sign it for them.

“I know lots of people in Williams Lake and Quesnel who want a book.”

Robertson says he loves Stephen King and is a great fan of Terry Brooks, the au-thor of the Shannara Series. “I’m interested in writing Sci-fi and scary stories.”

Meanwhile he is whittling away on his pentalogy, set-ting time aside each day for writing. “If I can type 1,000 words a day I’ll get it done. In the five-part book I know where every-thing is going to go.”
