Tumbler Ridge, B.C.

January 26, 1997

Mathematics is Fun
On Tuesday night just under 150
people were in the TRE Gym to
hear and participate with, Dr. Mike
Fellows. On Monday night just
over 150 people were in the Claude
Galibois gym to hear and participate
in his entertaining way of working
with mathematics.
TRE teacher Gerri Lorway intro­
duced Dr. Fellows and then he went
on to challenge everyone with a se­
ries of puzzles where you have to
colour in the circles using as few
colours as possible but having no
two connecting circles with the
same colour on each end. This led
to the first puzzle having two
colours, and eight circles; the sec­
ond with 14 circles had 3 colours;
the third with 17 circles 2 colours;
the fourth with 30 circles had 3
colours.
Then it led to finding the least
possible ice cream stands in Puzzle­
town where no one had to walk

more than a block to reach the
stand.
Dr. Fellows explained that this
type of thinking is what is needed
when people have multiple meetings
to attend with a variety of in­
terconnecting groups. Or the same
problem with multiple use lines for
such things as faxes, modems, com­
puters, telephones, etc.
The same type of challenge is
used with his mat work, in which
the children enacted the different
parts of computer system using 0s
and 1s, or higher and lower num
bers. Cryptographers use these sys­
tems when trying to encode such
things as your Visa number on the
Internet so that it doesn't fall into
the hands of theives.
A thoroughly entertaining
evening by one of the world's lead­
ing Mathematicians and an insight
into the world of computers, and
software.

Snowarama Riders know if it's
snowing, It's time to Raise money
for B.C.'s Children with Disabilities
It's a sure sign the Snowarama
fundraising has begun. Snow falls,
pickup trucks are seen carrying
brand new snowmobiles around
town, and riders begin soliciting
pledges for Snowarama '97, the
province-wide community-based
fundraiser for B.C.'s children with
disabilities.
Snowarama enters its 19th year as
one of the most successful
fundraisers for the Lions Society of
B.C. In just 18 years, riders have
raised more than $2.4 million, in­
cluding $151,000 in 1996 alone.
For those reasons, expectations are
running high for the upcoming
Snowarama in Tumbler Ridge.

"We have a strong tradition of
giving here, and that's why we know
Snowarama '97 will not only be fun

but successful in raising money for
children with disabilities," said Ron
Ford, local Snowarama Chairper­
son. "We're planning a terrific day
for everyone to ride, but before we
do that, we need donations to make
Snowarama a big success."

There is no "one" format for
Snowarama - local clubs come up
with their own methods of raising
money for the Lions Society of B.C.
Riders in the Tumbler Ridge
Snowarama will choose a novice
course or challenge the 100 Km Endura course. Each rider will gather
pledges for their ride prior to event
day. Last year, the RidgeRiders
Snowmobile Club raised more than
$4,600.00. All snowmobile riders
are welcome to join in regardless of
club membership or skill level, ther
are plenty of things you can do to
help out!
"We are always looking for peo­
ple who aren't associated with a
club to come out and enjoy the day.
It's a good way to see what we're all
about while making a very visible
contribution to one of B.C.'s best
known charities," said Ford.
The RidgeRiders Snowmobile
Club will compete for the following
Snowarama Awards presented on
behalf of the Lions Society of B.C.
and the BC Snowmobile Federation.

from Arctic Cat.
As always, all funds collected
stay in B.C. to benefit children with
disabilities through the services of
the Lions Society of B.C. One of
those programs, Easter Seal House,
is Snowarama's primary fundraising
focus. Easter Seal Houses in Van­
couver and Prince George act as a
"home away from home" for fami­
lies whose children require medical
treatment.

The Prairie Barley Vote
Are you a Prairie Barley producer? You should be aware of the upcoming
Prairie Barley Vote. Here are answers to questions you may have about the vote.
he vote will seek to determine Prairie farmers’ marketing preferences

T

for barley produced in Western Canada. Eligible barley producers will
be asked to indicate their preference for one of two marketing options:

OPEN MARKET OPTION
■ Remove all barley (both feed and malting/food) from the Canadian
Wheat Board and place it entirely on the open market for all domestic
and export sales.
OR

SINGLE-SELLER OPTION

■ Maintain the Canadian Wheat Board as the single-seller for all barley
(both feed and malting/food), with the continuing exception of feed
barley sold domestically.

AM I ELIGIBLE TO VOTE?
All current Prairie farmers who are engaged in grain production and have
grown barley at least once in the last five years (1992 to and including
1996) are eligible to vote.
Specific eligibility criteria:
1996/97 CWB Permit Book holders must meet criteria 1, 2, and 3:
1. You are an “actual producer” as defined in the Canadian Wheat Board Act;
2. You are a Canadian Wheat Board Permit Book holder in 1996/97; and
3. You have produced barley at least once in the past five years (1992 to

and including 1996).
Barley producers who do NOT have a 1996/97 CWB Permit Book,
must meet criteria 4,5,6 and 7:
4. You are currently directly involved in the business of farming as an
“actual producer” in the “designated area,” both as defined in the
Canadian Wheat Board Act;
5. You produced barley on land in the “designated area,” as defined in
the Canadian Wheat Board Act, at least once in the past five years
(1992 to and including 1996);
6. Not more than one ballot is cast per farming operation; and

7. You have completed the affidavit form and submitted it by
February 18,1997.

HOW DO I GET A VOTER'S PACKAGE?
1996/97 Permit Book Holders:
Voter’s packages will be automatically mailed to all 1996/97 CWB Permit
Book holders who have obtained their 1996/97 Permit Book number as of

■ You must establish your eligibility to vote by obtaining, completing
and submitting a legally binding affidavit that states you meet the
eligibility criteria. The affidavit form must be signed and witnessed by

Signed affidavit forms must be returned by mail to:
KPMG, Post Office Box 2505, Stn. Main,

Dannion Brinkley Saved by the
Light
I first heard about Dannion
Brinkley on 'Sightings' about two
years ago. Then last month the
movie "Saved by the Light" was on
television. The story starts off with
a young man, with a lot of anger,
who is killed by a bolt of lightening
hitting him while he is on the tele­
phone. Clinically dead for 28 min­
utes, while dead he experiences
meeting thirteen angelic beings of
light who show him future events
and some of his less pleasant past
events. Of the 115 events he was
told about, 95 have since come to

pass. They tell him that the mean­
ing of life is "Love".
After
undergoing years of therapy, he
goes out to tell his story to those
who want to hear. He also 'dies'
again on the operating table,
fourteen years after the first
experience, and is again put in touch
with the beings of light and again
told the meaning of life. He was
also told that he is to use his
experiences to help those who are
dying, since then he has devoted his
life to helping others accept their
coming deaths.

worth reading.

penalized for selling to
youths
Some B.C. retailers caught selling
tobacco to underage youth are
losing their right to sell tobacco.
Since April 155 retailers have been
convicted for violating the
province's Tobacco Sales Act, and
have paid fines. Fifteen of these re­
tailers who have had more than 1
conviction, have had their
authorization to sell tobacco
suspended ,by the Ministry of

Finance and Corporate Relations for
3 months.
Health Minister Joy MacPhail released the names of the retailers at a
news conference with the Heart and
Stroke Foundation on January 20.
MacPhail believes the penalties and
the negative publicity will also motivate retailers to comply with the
law.

PUBLIC HEARING
MOTOR CARRIER REGULATORY REFORM
B.C.’s Motor Carrier Regulatory Reform Committee is
conducting public hearings to gather input on reforming
regulations in the motor carrier industry.
MLAs: • Rick Kasper, Chair (Malahat-Juan de Fuca)
• Erda Walsh (Kootenay)
• Bill Barisoff (Okanagan Boundary)
will recommend changes to motor carrier regulations to
the Minister of Transportation and Highways this spring.
Transportation that carries passengers is not part of
the review.

Reforming the regulatory framework is necessary to help
B.C. prepare for new federal legislation which will deregulate inter-provincial trucking and freight hauling in 1998.
The committee will receive verbal or written submissions
from anyone who may be impacted by motor carrier
deregulation. Your views are invited on how to improve
the regulatory system and protect the interests of
communities, business and safety.

Date: Wednesday, January 29
Time: 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.
Place: Pioneer Inn
9830 100 Avenue
Fort St. John

Submissions may also be mailed, before March 7, to MLA

Drug and Alcohol Open Forum
On January 16, a number of
community professionals and con­
cerned parents met at the high
school gym to hear Brent Newman,
a Dawson Creek Alcohol and Drug
counsellor discuss the Drug and Al­
cohol Survey Report. This survey,
presented in May, 1996, was spon­
sored by the Dawson Creek Alcohol
Awareness Committee and School
District 59. School Trustee, Shan­
non MacKay, organized the Tum­
bler Ridge meeting, hoping to raise
community awareness of the dis­
turbing results of this survey regard­
ing the substance abuse by our
young people.

After the presentation of the sur­
vey, a panel of concerned citizens
presented their reflections and
comments. These included:
Clarence Longmore, Alcohol and
Drug Counsellor — community
members need to work together;
80% success rate with people com­
ing in, however, few people coming

in because of community attitudes
and stigma attached to seeking help.
Mason Dodds, RCMP -- it is a
community problem; kids have too
much idle time and too much
money.
Margaret Shelley, parent -- kids
need to know consequences and
need more consequences; kids who
do not do drugs and alcohol are not
accepted by 'status quo'; what are
the responsibilities of RCMP, health
providers, etc.?
Amanda Way, student -- adults
are buying drugs and alcohol for
kids; kids who don’t use do have
many friends; lots of problems but it
is not everyone.
Gertie Brezezinski, Mental
Health counsellor -- serious issues
but something can be done; no cure
but we can help some.
Sharon McLean, Ministry of
Children and Families -- help and
support those who need help and
change their attitudes and beliefs.
Al Johnson, Principal, T.R.S.S. --
