Ban oncorporate uniondonations

A majority of British Columbi-ans support a ban on corporate and union donations to B.C. provin-cial political parties, according to a public opinion survey commis-sioned by IntegrityBC.

When asked: “Do you believe that corporations and unions should be prohibited from donating money to B.C.’s provincial political par-ties?,” almost two to one were in favour (59 per cent Yes, 31 per cent No, 10 per cent undecided).

IntegrityBC has been campaign-ing to ban corporate, union and out-of-province donations to B.C.’s political parties since 2011. The organization is also calling for a cap on personal donations and a Citizen’s Assembly to review the B.C. Election Act and Local Gov-ernment Act and make recommen-dations on other electoral reforms.

Premier Clark tours West Fraser sawmill

Williams Lake had visits from the Liberal government last week in-cluding MLAs Donna Barnett, Bill Bennett, Jim Rustad and Premier Christy Clark.

On Friday Clark used West Fraser sawmill and a tour of its new planer, now under construction, as a back-drop to tout the government’s Jobs Plan, while Bennett, the minster of community, sport and cultural devel-opment, was the guest speaker at a special Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce luncheon Thursday.

“I was here to open the Stampede last year and what a great experience that was,” Clark said, describing the Cariboo as the “heart of the prov-ince” and a place to “roll up your sleeves and get it done.”

She congratulated West Fraser on its $25 million investment in the new planer.

“It’s impressive how young the workforce is at West Fraser and speaks to what is a sunrise, not sun-

set, forest industry,” Clark said. “The investment is happening because of the jobs that are being created in our province. We are opening up mar-kets all over the world. That’s what the jobs plan was about when we in-troduced it.”

The plan, Clark said, was about opening up the permitting system and getting the bureaucracy out of

the way, “as much as we could” to extract our resources and then to build the infrastructure to get them to market and open up the market so there are customers.

“We started that plan in 2011. Since then we have met 11 of 19 targets and are on target or ahead of schedule to meet the rest. One of the things I’ve learned over the last year

and a half is that creating jobs isn’t something that happens over night, but part of a long-term plan.”

She said 47,000 net new jobs have been created, the economy is one of the strongest in Canada, and the unemployment rate continues to go down.

“Companies from around the world are currently investing in $80 billion worth of projects, including the $25 million investment we see happening next door to us.”

The forest industry is an example of the resiliency of B.C.

“It’s seen some ups and downs and over the last five years hasn’t been great, but we’re starting to see the prices go up and we’ve worked hard to diversify our economy in the meantime. As a result, people in the forest industry continue to work through very difficult times.”

West Fraser, she said, is an ex-ample of a company making further investment to continue to grow the industry.

Notice of Public Meetings

Bennett congratulates West Fraser

“When we went to China 10 years ago, peo-ple laughed at us. The opposition laughed at us and said we’ll never be able to diversify B.C.’s market,” Clark said. “Well they were wrong. Because we went over to China to tell our story about wood and they liked it. We’ve seen our softwood lumber exports to China go up by 1,500 per cent in the last 10 years.”

Exports in 2012, to-

talled more than $10 billion, a 33 per cent in-crease from 2009.

Growth is also seen in energy production. In biomass there are about 1,600 megawatts of bio-mass electricity installed in the province, Clark said.

“It’s enough to power 1.2 million homes. The appetite for biomass in India and China is in-exhaustible.”

Bennett congratulated West Fraser and said its new investment means the company has confi-dence in the industry.

“It’s the reason we have focused so hard on the economy and encour-aging investment.”

Ketcham, who has been the new manager at the sawmill for less than a year, said he was pleased to learn six months ago the com-pany would build a new planer.

“We’ve completed the preliminary electrical work, and are at the stage now where we’re doing excavation work. Two months ago we finalized purchases of our equip-ment and are proud and

pleased to say at all costs we’ve purchased from B.C. manufacturers.”

The equipment should arrive at the end of May and the new planer should be up and running by the third quarter of the year, Ketcham said.

“We have selected three contractors that are local to B.C. to complete the project.”

Break-in at Potato House results in fortification makeover

TNG land claims case may hamper Shuswap treaty process

Volunteers have been busy fortifying the Po-tato House after dis-covering last week it had been broken into.

Director Mary Forbes was giving a tour to CBC Radio on Friday when she no-ticed a back window had been broken.

“We’re concerned about the person who broke in. They were in the basement and could have been exposed to the Hantavirus. There are rodent droppings down there. Only our directors go down there and we always wear masks.”

Forbes also discov-ered the lids off some old canned goods that were in the basement.

There is asbestos in the house too, although it’s not a threat unless it’s disturbed.

There is nothing valuable stored at the

house, but when Forbes went upstairs she dis-covered someone had “ransacked” an old dresser in the bedroom.

“They broke the bottom off and went through all the papers that were stored in the dresser.”

Forbes hesitated con-tacting the media but decided she wanted to try and alert the intrud-er to go to get tested for the virus.

“I also want to en-courage the commu-nity to keep its eyes and ears out whenever we’re not around,” she said.

Up until the break-in, Forbes had noticed attempts by someone to break in. She’d fixed screens a few times and saw footprints in the snow.

But no one had gained entry until then.

“We’ve been really lucky in the last two years since we pur-chased the house. There

have been no break-ins or damage,” Forbes said. “I am surprised by the motivation and very disappointed.”

It will be harder to gain entry now because the locks have all been

changed and each room now has a lock. New screens have been put in place and in a few weeks there will be a part-time staff person working there running a new community com-

posting project.“The staff person

will be working with the community, and there will be new in-terpretive signage, and collection boxes for compost along the

back fence,” Forbes explained.

Originally built in the 1930s, the house was famous for its garden and plentiful potatoes, hence it was nicknamed the Potato

House.It was purchased in

2011 to be developed into a community cen-tre with gardens, with hopes to eventually serve as a community hall.

The Northern Sec-wepemc te Qelmucw (“NStQ”) Leader-ship Council has filed for party status in the Tsilhqot’in National Government’s court ac-tion “Charleyboy v. the Queen or the Charley-boy writ.”

Filed in 2003, the TNG aboriginal title claim covers a tract of land the NStQ say overlaps more than 75 per cent of NStQ estab-lished traditional terri-tory.

“The Charleyboy writ goes from the west side of the Fraser River all the way down past Clin-ton, toward and past Clearwater, takes in all of the Dog Creek, Ca-

noe Creek area, Soda Creek, the Williams Lake Indian Band, Canim Lake Band, all of Cache Creek, Bonaparte and all the Secwepemc communities all the way down,” Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Anne Louie told the Tri-bune. “It goes almost to the Kootenays. It’s a ri-diculous claim.”

Louie said the NStQ territorial claim is based on detailed historical analysis of the territory actually used, occupied, and controlled by the Northern Secwepemc from time immemorial up to and including the first contact with Al-exander Mackenzie in 1793 and the assertion of British sovereignty in 1846.

Legal action has been

pursued regretfully, Louie said, but insisted it’s the only way to get things moving along.

“We have had sev-eral meetings with our chiefs and chiefs from the TNG. At one meet-ing in early 2012, the TNG chiefs asked if they could take the in-formation back to their people.”

At a subsequent meet-ing, the TNG chiefs said they had to obtain a mandate from their people.

“We questioned that because as elected chiefs we are given the mandate to work on behalf of our com-munities,” Louie said. “So we granted them two more months. They responded after two months with a letter

stating they were not given the mandate to withdraw or negotiate their boundaries.”

Chief Joe Alphonse participated in the meet-ings in his capacity as chair of the TNG and chief of Tl’etinqox’tin (Anaham).

He told the Tribune the TNG chiefs do have to obtain a mandate from the members of their communities to make decisions.

“We want to have a ceremony in our com-munities because when you’re dealing with overlap issues you’re dealing with a lot of is-sues around healing,” Alphonse said.

First Nations people often talk about healing from residential school issues, but historically

there were tribal war-fares that happened be-tween nations.

“Obviously there’s been no healing because there’s not trust between the nations. We have to start to resolve those issues in an acceptable way,” Alphonse said, adding the TNG tried to accommodate NStQ.

Nations also have dif-ferent approaches, he suggested.

“We as Tsilhqot’in look at the boundar-ies in a different way than NStQ,” he said. “I think there was a lack of willingness from them to move their boundary line.”

He argued the TNG made “substantial” movement of the TNG boundary, moving it back.

“Our boundary on the map covers an ex-tensive area, but we as Tsilqot’in look at it in a different way. There are many different types of overlaps you can have.”

Hunting, fishing, ar-eas for ceremony, and economic are all areas that can overlap, he said.

“I think they look at one boundary to cover all things and we don’t.”

Chief Anne Louie argued the Charleyboy writ is “a huge thing” because the NStQ are in treaty negotiations and the TNG are not.

“The TNG signed a strategic engagement with the provincial gov-ernment and they ben-efit from all resources under that agreement.”

Litigation is not the

preferred way to resolve things, especially with a neighbouring First Na-tion group, Louie sug-gested, but insisted the NStQ have tried, pa-tiently and persistently, to find a solution to the matter through discus-sion and negotiation and those efforts have been rebuffed.

“As a result of the Charleyboy action NStQ’s interests have been, and continue to be, compromised. We must now proceed ag-gressively to seek a resolution in the court. The TNG is doing itself no favour by maintain-ing a position that has absolutely no basis in fact or law.

Potato House Society director Mary Forbes discovered the Potato House was broken into recently.There wasn’t much damage other than seen here where someone broke an old dresser and rifled through the contents, in search of valuables.

“In 2003 when treaty negotiations started, everyone involved or not involved filed a protective writ so that if anything ever hap-pened they could go back to court.”

Everyone had maps they claimed their ter-ritory on, and then chief Chief Ervin Char-leyboy submitted the TNG’s.

Louie said the two groups have almost identical statements of intent.

“Ours go to the Far-

well Canyon area; so do theirs,” she said. “Our people have always gone out and fished in that area. At the conflu-ence where the Fraser and Chilcotin Rivers meet that was actual Shuswap bands on the west side of the river.”

When the TNG at-tended a delegation at city hall in December they phoned Louie, asking her to attend the meeting to give the of-ficial welcome, a signal they recognize that it’s traditional NStQ terri-tory, Louie said.

Alphonse said the TNG are not actively

involved with the Char-leyboy case right now and described it as somewhat “irrelevant.”

“We’ve put a lot of effort into resolv-ing this issue and it’s unfortunate NStQ has taken this step, but unit we actually see the le-gal document, we can’t really comment fur-ther,” he said, adding the NStQ leadership has to do what it feels is necessary.

“We don’t criticize them for that, but don’t criticize us for trying to protect our interests as well.”

Alphonse said it’s

more than a line on a map.

“Let’s look at the healing, it’s long over-due. Other First Na-tions people are not the enemy as far as we’re concerned, but the en-croachments on our land by provincial and federal governments that we should be most concerned about.”

The NStQ want the issue resolved and the next step, if the party

status is granted, will be to move the litiga-tion along.

Boitanio Mall operations manager Roger Edwards points to some of the graffi ti he discoverd in the upper level of the parkade Thursday morning.

Students admit to mall graffiti spree

Two females have admitted to helping vandalize the Boitanio Mall parkade with graffiti last Wednes-day evening and will

repaint the walls as a result, mall manager Jeanette Tuerlings said Monday.

“Through informa-tion on Facebook the girls were made aware the RCMP were trying to find out who had

done the damage and they came forward.”

When operations manager Roger Ed-wards arrived at work Thursday morning at 6:30 a.m., he discov-ered a table with empty alcohol cans and bot-

tles in the middle of the parkade, some empty rubber spray paint con-tainers on the floor and a “ton” of graffiti.

Edwards has worked at the mall for 31 years, and said the entire parkade was repainted

last summer. He and other staff

members were busy Thursday morning re-viewing video surveil-lance footage to deter-mine the vehicles that had entered the parkade Wednesday evening.

Crd plans fire protection feasibility study

The Cariboo Region-al District will continue to pursue an agreement with the city on fringe fire protection past the one-year agreement in place until Dec. 31, but it will also do a feasi-bility study regarding developing its own fire service for the area.

“We need to do due diligence and take the steps to ensure we have something in place if we’re not successful in reaching an agree-ment,” CAO Janis Bell said during a public meeting at the Gibraltar Room Friday.

Earlier that day the CRD board approved $90,000 for the feasi-bility study, with all di-rectors voting in favour of the funding except for the city’s represen-tative Coun. Sue Zach-arias.

“We are commenc-ing the steps to estab-lish a CRD fringe area fire department. That $90,000 comes from the feasibility fund and will allow us to start working on the steps to start our own ser-vice,” Bell said. She explained that mov-ing forward with the feasibility study does not mean the two par-ties cannot come to an agreement for the city to continue to provide fire protection.

“That door is open

and is not going to be closed in the immediate future,” she said. “We are cognizant of the fact that council passed a resolution earlier this week to try and arrange another meeting.”

So far 42 residents have indicated they’d be willing to serve as volunteer fire-fighters and the CRD is solicit-ing for more people to step forward.

The CRD is in dis-cussions with a profes-sional trainer to talk about opportunities to begin training.

Staff are trying to secure a site and ap-propriate apparatus for training, and are near-ing finalizing those ar-rangements.

Bell also said if the agreement with the city does not proceed then the CRD will con-sider reconfiguring the boundaries.

“The more people that can get the service is a benefit for them be-cause it gives us a larg-er tax base to fund op-erations and population base to draw from.”

Estimated costs for running the fire ser-vice would be $100 per $100,000 of assess-ment.

Among the questions asked by the public, one person wanted to know how much the city was willing to of-fer the service for, but Bell said the CRD did not have a definitive

figure.Under the provincial

figure the city had re-ceived an average of $720,000 from three existing agreements.

“We agreed to use to-tal assessment formula as the basis and the $129 per $100,000 falls under that. That would have been a reduction

down to $550,000.”The agreement for

2013 is $579,221.

Last week, B.C.’s family law was modernized under the new Family Law Act. The

Family Law Act replaces the Fam-ily Relations Act, which had been in place since 1979. Family life in our province has changed a lot since 1979, and the new law keeps pace with the changing times.

The act puts children at the centre of separation proceedings, making

the best i n t e r -ests of the child the only require-m e n t w h e n

making decisions about parenting arrangements. Under the new law, both parents will be guardians of the child after separation; terms like “custody” and “access” have been replaced with guardianship, parental responsibilities, and parenting time. The law promotes collaborative par-enting, so that both parents share the responsibility of raising their child.

The act also encourages families that are going through separation or divorce to settle disputes outside of the court system where it is appro-priate, which usually means better outcomes. The new law encourages the use of dispute resolution options like mediation and parenting co-or-dination.

The new law also addresses what happens when common law couples, that is, couples who have been living together and perhaps even raising a family together but who are not mar-ried, break up. The new law guides the division of property for when this type of separation occurs, ensur-ing that both partners get a fair deal. Each person gets to keep what they brought into the relationship, as well as things like inheritances acquired while living together. Property or debt which the couple acquire while together are split between them when they separate.

This is just a brief overview of some of the changes coming through the new act. There are far too many changes for me to explain them all, but in order to help everyone un-derstand them, our government has added a family justice section to the JusticeBC website; you can find this at www.JusticeBC.ca, where you can learn more about the new law.

Our Viewpoint

MLAMusingsDonna Barnett

Welcome to the republic

Getting to know the new Family Law ActIf city councillors like the new

place brand and logo that will be presented to them tonight at

Committee of the Whole, we could find ourselves living in “The Repub-lic of Williams Lake.”

That’s the proposed new brand. Council probably will like it be-cause it has had consultants, council-lors, staff and a committee of local residents working on this “pursuit of community passion” for months. They reviewed “previous positive brand prescriptions” and pre-tested their findings. The new brand re-flects “a positive position, promise,

and per-sonality to proj-ect to p e o p l e both in-side and outs ide

the community, and will “attract and retain investment and skilled labour” to the city.

Tonight’s presentation includes pages of pictures and prose (sorry, I got caught up in the proliferation of “Ps”) that lists the city’s qualities and weaknesses. Cowboy heritage is listed under both. Qualities include “B.C.’s most pro-business city hall.“ That one is a surprise to me. Along with our reputation for being unsafe and having a lack of services, cul-ture and infrastructure, the “logging/mill town stigma” is considered a weakness. I didn’t know there was a stigma attached to the forest indus-try. Without really saying it, the pre-sentation infers there is a ranching/rodeo stigma too.

Pictures include “Saddle up” (mountain biker), “Riding the range” (snowmobiler) and “Slinging some bull” (bull rider).

The Republic of Williams Lake’s new logo would be a blue shield with Williams Lake in big letters, British Columbia in smaller letters between the two words. Someone suggested it looks like it belongs on the back pocket of a pair of jeans.

Anyone interested can find the brand presentation at https://wil-liamslake.civicweb.net/Documents/DocumentList.aspx?ID=53208.

When I first heard the city was planning to dump the ranching/rodeo theme, I asked five former mayors for comment. None were impressed. I will give you their com-ments next week.

As for me, I think council is trying to fix something that isn’t broken.

Fight fat before WiFiin B.C. schools

Calm heads prevailed at the BC Teachers’ Fed-eration annual general meeting this past week with the abandonment of motions calling on boards of education to stop installing wireless networks in schools.

The majority of educators at the annual general meeting — and in Twitter discussion forums later on — appear to agree that the benefits of wireless technology in school for online learning far out-weigh the risks.

And while some may disagree with Health Cana-da’s assertion that there is no evidence linking low-level exposure to radio frequency energy from WiFi equipment to cancer, they are free to take their con-cerns directly to school boards.

Indeed, some have suggested districts provide a

wireless free school for parents who wish to make that choice for their children.

But they should do so with the knowledge that WiFi signals are similar to emissions from cell phones, digital TVs and other digital wireless tech-nologies, including baby monitors, and thus diffi-cult to control.

A more obvious risk to children’s health is obe-sity, which has been directly related to diabetes and other health risks, and could be an offshoot of chil-dren spending more time on games and other enter-tainment connected through WiFi.

What do you think? Are you concerned, for health reasons, about the proliferation of wireless technol-ogy in schools?

The irony of politics in B.C.Editor:

There was a time, not long ago, when I thought that Bill VanderZalm and Rafe Mair were as far to the right on the political spectrum as you could possibly get.

During the anti-HST cam-paign, I had the opportunity of

listening to both, and subse-quently read what they have had to say about the current state of affairs, both political and eco-nomical in B.C. ever since the faux-Liberal/Reform Party took the reins of power.

I have since come to realize that I share many of the views both these former politicians

have expressed in public presen-tations and discussions I have at-tended.

Maybe we need to re-examine exactly how far on the right wing of the political spectrum in B.C. the current faux-Liberal/Reform Party is really situated.

B.C. has a child poverty rate of 14.3 per cent but also the most

unequal distribution of income among rich and poor families with children.

The ratio of the average in-comes of the richest 10 per cent compared to the poorest 10 per cent was the worst of any prov-ince at 13.8 to one.

New driver signs don’t stay on vehiclesEditor:

Recently my son and I drove from our home on West Fraser Road to Williams Lake.

He has his L learner’s license and needs to gain driving experi-ence.

When we parked at Rona my son told me the police were be-hind us, with their lights flash-ing, so we waited.

The officer walked up along side and told my son he was giv-ing him a warning for a crack in the windshield.

I replied it was no wonder the window was cracked with the gravel on the roads this time of the year, especially on the West

Fraser Road. The officer ignored my com-

ment.After the officer explained the

warning for the windshield his harassment started.

He demanded we show our drivers’ licenses and car registra-tion.

This is when the officer walked around the car and realized the car did not have an “L” sign on it.

He confronted my son about it, asking why there was no “L” sign on the car.

My son replied that the road we came in on is very rough and it is not unusual for the learner’s sign to fall off (as we had learned

previously with my older sons). The officer returned to his car,

ignoring my son’s explanation, and returned with two tickets — one warning him for a cracked windshield and the other a $105 ticket for “Failing to display an L sign.”

I have heard from several par-ents that the police are cracking down, with no mercy.

The fines are not about safety. Only about money.

The officer provided us with a replacement L sign we placed on our car before leaving Williams Lake.

On the way home we saw my son’s previous L sign laying on the side of the road.

We stopped, my son checked to see if the one the officer had provided him with was still in place, but it had fallen off so he placed the old L sign on the back of the car. When we got home, it too was gone.

The police know those signs do not hold well, however, they don’t hesitate to blame our chil-dren for it and make them pay for it.

It was my son’s first time driv-ing and after driving only a few hundred metres in town, there were the police, bearing down on him like a hawk, for doing noth-ing wrong.

A one-way carnival cruise

Editor:

Wasting lives/time marketing Canada’s fossil-fuel reserves global-ly? A one-way Canadian “carnival” cruise? Are you on board this Cana-dian “dream?” Canada’s fossil-fuel cruise will sink. You have no choice to sail?

Few politicians dare for effective climate action. NDP, Liberals, Con-servatives vie for power and control. They want Canadians kept in dream cruise. This election, fossil-fuel pro-ducers do not want you concerned about global warming. They need Canada’s fossil-fuels consumed globally. Effective climate action means zero expansion of carbon pol-luting production. Eighty per cent of known fossil-fuel reserves must stay in the ground.

Effective climate action based on science means no new pipelines, no expansion of tarsands, no frack-ing for unconventional oil or gas, no exploration, no new refineries, coal port expansion, new LNG plants, or a site “C” dam for energizing licensed LNG plants. Effective cli-mate action may be political suicide, but perhaps not eco-cide.

You don’t know how to plan and start a low-carbon economy before 2020? Start learning now. You have 100 per cent certainty, global warm-ing is happening now and is being encouraged over-all.

Time has run out to wait. Consider the future of your own community of loved ones, your soulmates, your wife, husband, parents, children, grandchildren, your friends, neigh-bours, your opposition. Shake this fossil-fuel dream now before 2015. Turn to your friends and loved ones for effective climate action begin-ning 2015.

You don’t dare? You won’t be-lieve in hokey science? Check your facts and check your own baggage before this next election.

Global warming isn’t an election issue and expanding global market-ing of Canadian fossil-fuels is. You still have now to learn to plan a low-carbon economy and to learn to start effective climate action by 2015. For the friends among us, for the love between us, thank you.

Let’s make sure measures are in place to prevent any mining accidents

Editor: In recent issues of the Tribune

I note that a couple of writers are expressing concerns about mine development.

Writer Bill Lloyd with a series of articles as representative of the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society, the CCCS.

The very interesting thing about Bill Lloyd as part of the CCCS, is that his father was one of the early 1940s to 60s prospec-tors that originally staked mining claims at Fish Lake leading to the current mining interest in Fish Lake.

I am a firm believer that where any group has, or believe they have, evidence of some weakness

or fault in the environmental pro-cesses regarding any proposed development, that it becomes a responsibility and a priority of that group to present such infor-mation to the developers of that project.

The developer can then have their engineering department study that information, and if the information is valid, and there is an environmental hazard, the mining company can take the necessary steps to address the is-sues presented.

Posting the concerns in the news media as a series of arti-cles, seems to me, to have only one purpose, that purpose is to weaken and undermine genu-ine scientific and environmental

work, and is an attempt to make the mining company look like some sort of evil rogue in the community.

I would compare that to gos-siping about a neighbour, until the mining company has had a fair chance to study and evaluate these claims.

Such claims as presented by the Cariboo Chilcotin Conserva-tion Society, in my opinion, at this point in time, are just base-less public airing of unfounded gossip.

Writer Chris Hornby regurgi-tates old accidental mining spills. My gosh, how many times must we have our noses rubbed in the accidents of the past?

Certainly these examples of

environmental spills did occur, however, it is our responsibil-ity in our time, to move forward and demand that measures are in place to prevent a repeat of such accidents.

Moving away from mining and environmental spills, regardless of all of man’s current best efforts we are still having environmental accidents on our highways, such as the recent serious semi unit ac-cident at Wildwood.

Regretfully accidents do hap-pen, what is important here, let’s do all we can to insure every measure is in place to prevent them, and then as quickly as pos-sible, deal with them.

CRD encouraged by city’s willingness to meet

While some resi-dents said building a duplicate fire service seems “crazy,” others suggested, negotiating one term past the exist-ing one, and waiting it out until there’s a new city council elected to see if that makes a dif-ference in reaching an agreement.

CRD chair Al Rich-mond said it’s hard to predict what will hap-pen politically, but said the CRD is trying to deal with the bill it received for more than $700,000 for fire pro-tection after the new fire hall was built.

“Our phones were ringing off the hook with you asking how come you were pay-ing so much money so we tried to negotiate a new deal. We’ve come to an agreement for one year,” Richmond said.

“I don’t know how many agreements we want to go forward with but as elected of-ficials we need to get down to task and find a solution.”

The CRD is encour-aged by the city’s will-ingness to meet, but

also wants to pursue a plan because it doesn’t want to end up with-out an agreement and no plan in place, he added.

“You do have to ask why there is such a huge disparity in costs of fire protection.

“I’ve done budget comparisons with other fire departments with more full-time staff and more vehicles and the costs aren’t as high,” Richmond said.

He questioned why the same funding for-mula used for the hos-pital, libraries, Deni House, or the recre-ation complex cannot be implemented.

“It’s been suggested to the city, but at this time the city doesn’t feel it’s acceptable and has its reasons. We’re trying to find some-where between the two. We believe the other services we mutually enjoy and are hoping to work around that.”

Richmond said he agreed it’s “silly” to set up two fire halls, but at this point doesn’t know what else the CRD can do.

Approximately 26 per cent of the calls to the Williams Lake

fire hall go to the rural fringe, and include at-tending motor vehicle accidents, Bell said.

Others indicated a new fire hall is the way to go and asked where the CRD rural hall might be located.

Bell said the CRD has identified a num-ber of locations and it would have to be in rel-atively “close” proxim-ity to the existing city fire hall to make sure nobody is left out.

Another person sug-gested the CRD needs a long-term view be-cause the rural fringe is growing compared to the city, while someone said it’s difficult be-cause CRD taxpayers have no say over a city-run facility.

In response to a comment made by a resident at the meet-ing, that the city is not purchasing equipment to meet the needs of the rural fringe, the city told the Tribune it purchased a tanker that carries 2,500 gallons of water and when it was purchased, consider-ation was given for use in the fringe area.

The CRD will hold a follow up meeting Thursday, April 25.

The Williams Lake Trail Riders Arena was transformed into some-what of a wildlife exhibit on the weekend as the Cariboo Archers hosted its annual Indoor 3D Shoot.

Bears, moose, dinosaurs, snakes, elk, beavers and several other foam targets strategically placed throughout the barn provided the challenge as competitors took aim Saturday and Sunday accumulat-ing points based on their accuracy throughout the weekend.

In total, 65 archers attended the event from Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, Quesnel, Prince George and Kamloops.

“[The indoor shoot] went well despite the chilly conditions in the Trail Riders’ Arena,” said Al Campsall, treasurer of the Cariboo Archers.

An encouraging observation for the sport locally, he said, was 22 of the competitors were youngsters.

“Many were in their first 3D shoot and I understand they loved it,” he said.

Cole Skerry, 7, and sister Cal-leigh Skerry, 5, were two of the youth competing. Both have been learning the sport since they were one year olds.

“I like having fun,” Cole said when asked what the best part about archery is.

“And I’m getting better all the time.”

Calleigh said she also likes hav-ing fun with archery.

“I think I shot pretty good,” she said.

Calleigh and Cole competed in the Pee Wee Compound division, where Cole picked up second place, and Calleigh won third. Taking first in the division was Ty Thurow.

“I did pretty well this weekend,” Cole said. “I got an eight just now on the raptor, and a 10 on the bear.”

In the youth Pee Wee Traditional category it was Konnor Iverson sniping first place, Kolbee Iverson winning second and Kaylee Iver-son claiming third.

Brayden Feeley, in the Pre-Cub Compound division, marched away with first place, while Nic Flinton won second and Tnesa Fitzpatrick claimed third.

Also for youth shooters, in the Cub Compound division, Cameron Brockel shot to a second-place fin-ish, while Jesse West claimed took third.

For Women’s Recurve it was Sharon Allan in first, and Nikki

Mobbs in second. On the Men’s Recurve side Fred

Streleoff and Dan Mobbs finished first and second, respectively.

Ed Oliver, in the Masters Re-curve event, won first place, with Lorne Barron coming in second.

For Women’s Recurve it was

Mavis Skerry taking the overall title, with Allan coming in second.

In the Men’s Open category Dan Cooper sniped first, with Lee Jack-man taking second.

Williams Lake’s John Walker, in the Men’s Unlimited division, fin-ished second.

Lastly, in the Masters Men’s Open division, Al Campsall and Kelly Bennett finished first and second, respectively.

Coming up for the Cariboo Ar-chers is its annual Outdoor 3D Shoot May 11-12 at the Bond Lake Rod and Gun Club.

It’s that time of year again — the dirt will be hauled into the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex for 23rd Annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo.There’s no stop in the action throughout the action-packed weekend as rodeo performances, opening acts, special guests, vendors, bands and a dance help round out the weekend’s festivities.Stop by the rodeo office in the upper level of the Boitanio Mall to pick up your rodeo tickets, barn dance tickets, and check out the merchandise.

The Williams Lake Wrestling Club’s youngsters hit the mat in 100 Mile House early march for Wres-tlemania — the 100 Mile House Wrestling Club’s annual kid tour-nament.

“This is an elemen-tary-only tournament,” said WLWC president and head coach Sonia Conrod.

“We brought nine kids down to compete and all nine came back with medals.”

Student coaches Braden Conrod and Haleigh Stubitch also travelled along with the team to help coach, while carded local of-ficials Conlan Sprick-erhoff and Kerry Nor-mand provided the refereeing.

“It was a great expe-rience for everyone,” Sonia said.

Kindergarten grap-

pler Trey Alphonse brought home a silver medal for the black ‘n’ blue.

“He was a beast out there taking on bigger kids,” Sonia said.

Alphonse’s Kinder-garten classmate Gage Davis also fought his way to a silver-medal win, while Will Strat-ton picked up bronze medal for his efforts.

Grade 2 wrestler Coda McLain won fourth in his division and picking up a par-ticipation medal, while brother Chevy McLain, grade 3, wrestled hard to nab a bronze medal in the division. Kalob Scaiano, in the Grade 2 division, grappled to the gold medal.

In the Grade 5 class Nathan Preston picked up a bronze medal, while WLWC new-comer Tyleen Scaiano swept through her

weight class to pickup the gold medal.

“She didn’t have a point score on her [the entire tournament] … incredible,” Sonia said.

Lastly, Grade 6 wrestler Braydon Hall was the winner of a

bronze medal in his di-vision.

“All the kids were awesome,” Sonia said. “The WLWC really

pulled together as a team and our student coaches were amazing as well.

“They love working

with the younger ath-letes. We’re excited to start a new season and hope to see many new faces on the mat next

season.”Coming up next for

the WLWC is Smack-down, which will cap off the club’s season.

The Williams Lake Bantam Rep Timber-wolves came within a hair of reaching the semifinals at the B.C. Tier 2 Provincial Hock-ey Championships in Kelowna.

The T-wolves, after opening their tourna-ment with two wins and one tie, fell to Langley, 4-2, last Wednesday, eliminating them from the tournament.

Williams Lake dug themselves a hole early, falling behind 3-0, before mountain a comeback to close the distance to 3-2 af-ter goals from Colton Thomas and Will Payn-ton.

Needing at least a tie to advance to the semifinal Williams Lake pulled netminder Griffen Outhouse for the extra man, but an empty-net goal late in the third from Langley put the contest on ice.

Outhouse was out-standing between the pipes for Williams Lake, keeping the game close throughout.

“It’s one of those things where it just seemed like it wasn’t meant to be,” said T-wolves head coach

Steve Carpenter. “I couldn’t be more

proud of the guys. They worked hard all year and it’s a phenom-enal team.”

In Williams Lake’s opening game they beat host Kelowna handily, 9-2, scoring early and often in the winning ef-fort.

Next, Williams Lake battled to a 5-2 victory over Trail. Chase Du-bois potted a hat trick and, again, Outhouse was solid in net.

The Timberwolves then skated to a 4-4 tie Tuesday against Cranbrook to reach the quarterfinal. Williams Lake battled back from an early 3-0 deficit af-ter allowing two power play goals and one penalty shot, scoring the equalizer with less than 10 seconds left in the game.

The tie, Carpenter said, was what ended up costing them a spot in the semifinal.

“That game against Cranbrook we came out a bit flat, but in the second and third we to-tally dominated them,” he said.

“Chase hit three posts, Brendan Lane had a breakaway and hit the butt end of the goalie’s stick after he’d

beat the goalie … any other time of the year I’d bet we win that game 10-4 — we had that many good, qual-ity scoring chances.”

Despite the tie, how-ever, Williams Lake still had a chance to advance to Thursday’s semifinal if Kelowna could manage a win or a tie over Trail.

“It was 1-1, Trail had pulled their goalie be-cause they had to win, and Kelowna got a two on one but the player didn’t look up and no-tice the empty net and he instead dumped it in,” Carpenter said.

“With less than a minute left Trail picked up the puck, went down, and scored with 35 seconds left to knock us out.

“You see that and sometimes you just wonder if certain things are meant to be and certain things aren’t.”

Juan de Fuca ended up the provincial cham-pions after defeating Westside in the final.

“Everybody was tight and competitive [in the tournament],” Carpenter said. “We were right there and it was just one of those unfortunate things. You don’t make excuses, it’s part of the game,

but we just seemed to have a bit of bad luck at the wrong time.”

The lakecity squad finished at provincials

with two wins, one loss and one tie, and were 43-8-1 overall to cap off an impressive sea-son.

LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune

LeRae Haynes photoGrade 11 and 12 students from Williams Lake and 100 Mile House participated in a variety of hands-on scenarios as part of the RCMP Youth Academy that took place at Columneetza Secondary and Thompson Rivers University last week.

Students explore career in the RCMP RCMP, the Williams Lake Fire

Department, BC Ambulance and Search and Rescue converged on Columneetza Secondary School on Tuesday, evening, March 19 at approximately 6 p.m. to attend a scene that included a two-car pile up, an intoxicated, belligerent driv-er and a spine injury.

The event took place during the second annual RCMP Youth Acad-emy program sponsored by School District 27 and the RCMP.

A total of 17 Grade 11 and 12 students from Williams Lake and 100 Mile House stayed at Colum-neetza last week to experience a condensed version of the training that RCMP recruits experience in their six-month training program in Regina, Sask.

Last year was the first year for the program in Williams Lake and the majority of students were from out of district. This year all of the participants were from School Dis-trict 27 Williams Lake and 100 Mile House areas, say organizers.

Local RCMP officers along with volunteers from all facets of the emergency services and the justice system volunteered their time and expertise to conduct the training.

The program involves instruc-tion and lectures on law, police tac-tics, social skills, physical training, self-defense and a variety of other topics.

Students were also involved in role playing scenarios, taking on the role of a police officer.

Cadets attending receive work experience credits for successful completion of the academy.

There is a fee for students to at-tend the training, however, with generous contributions from local service groups and businesses the cost is reduced. Vehicles, accom-modations, transportation, gas, and instruction are provided by the RCMP and School District 27 at no cost.

The RCMP Youth Academy is an excellent learning experience that is extremely challenging, both mentally and physically, say orga-nizers. The event culminated with a graduation ceremony on Friday, March 22 in the gymnasium at Columneetza Secondary School.

Helpers at the RCMP Youth Academy included volunteers from the fire department, search and rescue and ambulance service.fire, as well as RCMP and school district staff.

Last Tuesday evening the RCMP youth training included investigating a mock multi-vehicle accident scene in which injuries were sustained and drunk driving was the suspected cause of the incident.

The Williams Lake In-dian Band hosted its first annual parent-teacher night at the Elizabeth Grouse Gymnasium on Feb. 25.

“This event was a huge success and we’re grateful for the partici-pation of WLSS staff, parents and the RCMP,” said Heather McKenzie, WLIB education man-ager in announcing the event.

“We look forward to building more bridges with the School District (27) and to working col-laboratively to create the best possible environ-ment for our students. We would like to extend a warm thank-you to Mr. Mike Levitt, counsellor of Williams Lake Sec-ondary School, for the initiation of such a grand idea on behalf of our children and families of Sugar Cane.”

The event was attend-ed by representatives of WLSS including the vice-principal, academic counsellors, numerous

teachers and First Na-tions support workers, parents and band council members, and special guest members of the RCMP.

The theme was “every-thing you want to know about high school.”

The purpose of the parent teacher night was to build and strengthen relationships between WLIB parents and school district staff, and to engage in dialogue about topics of impor-tance to parents and stu-dents.

Participants gathered in a traditional circle and parents were given the opportunity to engage district staff regarding a variety of subjects.

Topics of discussion included parent/teacher communication ap-proaches, methods of establishing a rapport between students and teachers, and the funda-mentals of high school education.

The event also includ-ed a pizza dinner fol-

lowed by a spirited game of ball hockey, in which WLIB parents/students teamed with the Wil-liams Lake RCMP de-

tachment to battle WLSS faculty members. Guest stars in the match includ-ed Lac La Hache Toma-hawks goaltender and

WLIB councillor, Willie Sellars, and former Wil-liams Lake Stampeders player and WLSS teach-er, Terry Duff.

CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE

A number of City of Williams Lake employees have volunteered their time to haul dirt into and out of the Cariboo Memorial Complex for the 23rd Annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo April 19-21.

The staff volunteers, from the Streets and Parks Divisions of the City, will donate between 70-90 total man-hours to operate a loader and trucks to haul the dirt in and out of the arena. The work will be done outside of the volunteers’ scheduled work shifts. City Municipal Services staff have volunteered to do this work since 2007.

“We are happy to help out the community, and help make these important events happen,” says Matt Sutherland, Streets/Parks Division foreman at the City. “This is one way we can make a difference for the community.”

At its March 19th meeting, Council resolved to fund up to 50% of the cost of bringing soil in and out of the Indoor Rodeo for this year only, including equipment fuel and maintenance, in order to alleviate hardship on the Association due to the short notice before the event.

“A huge thank you to our staff for volunteering yet again to help bring this popular event to Williams Lake,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “The Indoor Rodeo Association does an incredible job each year putting on a great weekend of rodeo entertainment.”

Film club hosts World Tour 2013 Reel Paddling Film Festival

We have made it. We are part of the World Tour 2013, the World Tour 2013 Reel Pad-dling Film Festival that is.

We already have had e-mails from other plac-es in Canada asking us if they can be a part of this. How exciting and awesome is that?

You probably all know the Banff Moun-tain Film Festival, an incredible festival about everything to do with mountains.

This is along those lines, only it has every-thing to do with water.

And what can happen on water: paddling in many ways, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, surf-ing, stand-up surfing, and using any type of transportation on water possible.

Like in the film Go Ganges in India. And even kayaking down waterfalls.

The Williams Lake Film Club is very proud

to present to you The World Tour 2013 Reel Paddling Film Festival.

It will be screened on Thursday, April 4, at 7 p.m. at the Gibraltar Room. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance at Red Shreds, $15 at the door, cash only at both places.

Actually, it was Co-lin at Red Shreds who made me aware of this

festival and asked me if I could bring it to Wil-liams Lake.

I took him up on it – and here we are. Thanks Colin.

There will be a range of films shown, some longer, some shorter, about rafting in the Grand Canyon, award winning films, like First Glide, which has been awarded best

documentary film, Go Ganges, best adventure travel film filmed in India, Blind Bird Sing-ing Rain, best canoeing film, there are just too many to name, at least eight of them, probably more.

We even will have a film about a project from the community school in Bella Bella. What a beautiful place

that is! You will be on the

edge of your seats at times, you will lean back and let the medi-tative powers of water and your time on it re-lax you at other times.

At any event, I do think you will really like it!

If we can make it work, we will bring it back to Williams Lake on an annual basis. So, tell your friends about it, tell your family, your mates, let’s make this a smasher. During the in-termission we will have nibblies from the Hob-bit House and the Cari-boo Growers Market.

We want this to be a fun evening for every-one. Be there – enjoy yourself!

And remember, all the proceeds go to the LDA, Williams Lake Chapter of the BC As-sociation for Students with Learning Disabili-ties. So you can have some real fun and do something real good, it does not get much bet-ter than that.

WLIB parent-teacher night promotes sense of belonging

Photo submittedPaddle surfing will be among the water sports explored in the World Tour 2013 Reel Paddling Film Festival April 4.

Award winning Ca-nadian singer song-writer Carol Lynn Fri-esen will be in concert

in Williams Lake April 16 with songs from her fourth album Seize The Day.

Her new celtic pop worship album was nominated at the 2012 Covenant Awards (Gos-pel Music Association Canada) for Inspira-tional Album of the Year and Instrumental Song of the Year for I Can Fly.

The first single off the album receiving air-play across Canada on Christian radio stations is an original song she wrote and composed called Cover Me With Your Love also on her webpage. www.carol-lynnfriesen.com

She has toured Can-ada from coast to coast doing ministry concerts, radio interviews, televi-sion appearances and instore concerts with CD signing at Christian music stores along with Chapters and Indigo where she has national distribution. Over the past 10 years Friesen has sung for a fundrais-ing Katrina Relief con-cert for a church youth group in Charlottetown, PEI to go and help re-

build in New Orleans, toured with Jason Mc-Coy as a shared char-ity with World Vision, opened up with her sev-en piece band for Aaron Lines at the Burlington Sound of Music Festival at Spencer Smith Park in front of 10,000 people, and sang with Patricia

Conroy and Joe Scutella in Nashville the song-writers for Only Better a song she recorded on her You Make Me Smile album.

Friesen has per-formed on 100 Huntley Street in Burlington, Ont. along with other television programs in

Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and Lethbridge.

Also check out her webpage to hear her singing her original song, You Make Me Smile on the Breakfast Television in Edmon-ton. You Make Me Smile also landed on the top 100 Canadian Country

song charts and was nominated for Country Song of the Year at the Shai Awards.

The concert takes place at St. John Luther-an Church at 377 Hodg-son Road in Williams Lake, Tuesday, April 16 7 p.m. Tickets are $8 at the door.

Big Creek honours Beth Suter

The Big Creek La-dies’ Lunch, held at the community hall on March 13, was special this month, honour-ing Beth Suter who is leaving the community soon.

Beth and her hus-band, Mac, moved to Big Creek in 1990 af-ter purchasing Ray and Mary Thomson’s prop-erty on Duck Lake.

They had fallen in love with the coun-try earlier while on a Teepee Heart trail ride with Duane and Marion Witte.

Mac was devoted to his adopted land. He wouldn’t even return to Switzerland for a visit.

“If they want to see me they can come here.” Mac stated.

Sadly Mac suffered a fatal heart attack in March of this year.

Left alone, Beth is returning to Europe where she will live close to her daugh-ter who now lives in France, but not far

from where she and Mac lived in Switzer-land before immigrat-

ing to Canada.Their immaculate

Duck Lake place has

already been sold.Very best wishes

from Big Creek go

along with Beth as she takes her journey home.
