STAMPEDE QUEEN CONTESTANTS INTRODUCED Greg Sabatino photo

Williams Lake Stampede royalty and this year’s royalty contestants were introduced to a packed house at the Elk’s Hall Saturday night for the Williams Lake Stampede Dinner, Dance and Auction. The royalty helped out throughout the evening by selling hats for the Chinese auction, and by displaying items during the live auction. Pictured are Stampede Princess Terris Billyboy (left), Kyra Stuart, Miss M.H. King Excavating, Rachel Abrahamse, Miss Daybreak Rotary, Karina Sukert, Miss Rotary Club of Williams Lake and Stampede Queen Alexis Forseille.

Unionized employees of the City of Williams Lake have served 72hour strike notice. International Union of Operating Engineers Local Union 882B service representative John Dube said notice was served at 1:53 p.m. Wednesday. The union will be on strike by Saturday afternoon at l:53 p.m. Talks between the city and the union began on Feb. 12, but broke down, Dube told the Tribune. “We’re not even close. We thought yesterday that there were a few things that we’d put on the table that were beneficial to the employer and some concerns they had .” Dube said it’s unfortunate. “We hope this won’t last too long, but the city is going to have to pull up its socks and get serious with the bargaining.” The city was not available for comment by press time.

School District 27 trustees released the following rationale Wednesday morning on why they chose Columneetza secondary to become the predominantly grades 7 to 9 campus and Williams Lake secondary to become the predominantly grades 10 to 12 campus next fall. The board of education met Feb. 5 and discussed at length the configuration of the one school, two campus model secondary school in Williams Lake. The following motion was passed identifying which campus would house which grades: “That the board of education designate the current Columneetza Secondary School as the predominantly grades 7-9 campus and the current Williams Lake Secondary School as the predominantly grades 10-12 campus, in the one school, two campus model and that this information be released to the public immediately.” Rationale considered for choosing the WLSS facility as the predominantly grades 10-12 campus included: • Older students travelling - In order to facilitate student choice

and in order to utilize both present facilities to their fullest capabilities, some extent of student travel will be necessary. The board believes strongly that the majority of travel should be done by older students. When timetabling is complete, older students will certainly need to travel to the Columneetza campus for trades courses and may possibly need to travel for upper level science courses or other courses. With this configuration, younger students will have to travel very little or not at all. • Technology infrastructure: Superior at WLSS when compared to Columneetza. Better suited for senior students as we move forward into more personalized learning. • Proximity to Skyline/GROW: We have far more students involved in alternate education at the Grades 10-12 level than at the Grades 7-9 level. It is an advantage having the senior campus with Grades 10-12 within walking distance so that students will easily be able to move back and forth between both educational settings. • Proximity to recreation facilities (i.e. hockey, skating, swim-

ming, bowling, etc.): As older secondary students transition to adulthood, more sports and fitness opportunities are provided to them to give them exposure to the types of healthy activities they may participate in once they have graduated. Preferable for older students to walk as opposed to the younger students. • Proximity to downtown for work experience opportunities. • Superior band and musical theatre facilities. • Industrial kitchen: For cafeteria training/dual credit (secondary and post-secondary credit) chef’s training courses. • Commons/stage: A central location within the school as a gathering place for older students. Rationale considered for choosing the Columneetza Secondary School facility as the predominantly grades 7-9 campus included: • Student engagement: The board recognizes the importance of trades training within the new school. If younger students are given the opportunities to be introduced to a variety of trades experiences

before they reach Grades 10, 11, and 12, they will be more likely to travel to the predominantly grades 7-9 school campus to take these courses as part of their graduation program. In having these trades training courses offered at the predominantly grades 7-9 school campus, younger students will not need to travel to be exposed to these types of opportunities. This will help soften the transition for students in grades 10-12 as they will be returning to a familiar campus to access these courses. • Location: The Columneetza campus is much more secluded in a predominantly residential area closer to larger elementary schools. Whether or not the predominantly grades 7-9 is an open or closed school campus, younger students will not face the constant lure of distractions located downtown (i.e. the park, the mall, convenience stores, etc.). • Supervision: Easier to supervise due to long hallways. • More field space: Space for two fields to allow for more intramural activities.

B.C. labour leader says province has hunger for change Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer British Columbians have a hunger for change, says B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair. “There is a large majority of people ready for a change because after 12 years under the Liberals the province is going in the wrong direction,” Sinclair said while in Williams Lake Saturday. “People don’t agree on the change. Some people will vote for the Green Party, some people will vote for the Conservatives.” If people really want a real change, they should

vote for the NDP, he suggested. “The NDP has said a number of things already. They’ve talked about education, about trades training, the taxation policy they are looking at

and how they’re going to raise corporate taxes.” There’s lots of time to discuss and debate the changes that need to take place, he added. “What I’m saying to people is if they want change get involved. Fifty per cent of the people in the last election didn’t vote. That to me is a serious serious issue. We got what we got in this country because people did care and they did participate.” Historically people were involved with the public discourse and it made a difference which government was elected. It is still true today, but too many people are con-

vinced governments are all the same, he added. “They’ve never been all the same. Many of these parties never would have given us medicare or public education, or old age security. We never would have had all those things if there wasn’t a party or a group of people that said, ‘we can do that’.” The public needs to have a debate about what kind of province it wants to have and how much opportunity should exist, he said, adding the labour movement wants balance in the province. “We expect business to have a say when we’re at the table and that’s

people in the province Sinclair said. “The commodity prices have gone up, the mining industry is doing fairly well thanks to China, and that’s good for the province. We’ve had negotiations with those mines and just finished negotiating successfully with Gibraltar so people can keep up with inflation.” Those increases benefit everybody and stay in the local community benefitting businesses, everything. People are upset about the temporary worker program, he said, adding the labour movement’s

opposition is not about racism. It is about exploited workers. “We’re not opposed to bringing workers to Canada to work, we’re just saying they should come with the right to bring their families, with the right to quit a job that’s unsafe, and the right to speak up, not be sent home. That’s a cheap labour strategy not a nation building strategy.” Sinclair also criticized the $15 million of public money being spent on advertising what a great place B.C. is. The money could be used to create jobs, he said.

Williams Lake RCMP are asking for public assistance locating and identifying a male who sexually assaulted a female in Williams Lake on the afternoon of Feb. 4. The suspect offered the victim a ride to her home at about 2:30 p.m. When they arrived, he followed her inside her home and sexually assaulted her. He is described as Caucasian or “at least a lighter complexion,” between 35 and 40 years old, black hair, approximately five-feet 10-inches tall, with a gap between his front teeth. The suspect’s vehicle is described as a single cab pick-up truck, with no seats behind the driver. The truck is primarily white in colour with a dark blue stripe, measuring four to six inches, down the side. There were two dream catchers hanging from the rearview mirror. It is not a new truck, but appeared to be well kept and cared for, the

What we’ve had though, is that business is the only voice that’s been heard, they’ve had the dominant agenda.” When one party gets heard too much then you have things like the HST or changes to the forest code that have allowed for “record” log exports, he suggested. “Forty mills close, there are thousands of lay-offs, and the rules around appurtenancy are changed so no more logs are attached to sawmills anymore. All that stuff happened under the Liberals.” There have been improvements for some

Opposition rises to Columneetza becoming middle school Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer The majority of Columneetza secondary teachers and parents are opposed to the School District 27 board’s decision to make that school a predominantly grades 7 to 9 campus, according to a presentation made during a special open meeting of the School District 27 board Tuesday. Backed up by several other teachers, Columneetza teachers Dave Corbett and Troy Johnston, and a representative from the Columneetza parent advisory council gave detailed presentations on the reasons for their position. Earlier this month trustees confirmed their decision to make Williams Lake Secondary and Columneetza secondary schools one school on two campuses with Columneetza primarily a 7-9 campus and WLSS primarily a 10 to 12 campus. After hearing the presentations from Columneetza representatives in the question period at the end of the meeting Tuesday, the trustees voted to issue a press release outlining the rea-

sons for their decision. During the meeting the Columneetza teachers noted that 50 people including parents and teachers had held a meeting recently and were in agreement that making Columneetza the junior campus would be counter productive. Columneetza teacher Nara Riplinger also gave a short presentation. She noted that she didn’t attend the meeting at Columneetza. She said she supported the one school two campus model, but had hoped the trustees would keep both schools as grades 7 to 12 schools, rather than creating junior and senior campuses. She said she was concerned about the negative impact the transition of moving from a junior campus to a senior campus would have on vulnerable students. She also enjoyed being able to follow students through their high school careers. The following are some of the concerns expressed by those opposing Columneetza becoming the predominantly 7 to 9 campus. • Columneetza was built as a secondary school in 1967 and has

a history of being the senior secondary school in Williams Lake. • Since being replaced after a fire a few years ago the automotive/ welding shop at Columneetza is one of the best in the province and is designed for senior trades courses. • There is a strong programming link between Columneetza and Thompson Rivers University (across the street) and local businesses which promotes and provides trades training opportunities for senior secondary students. TRU has used the Columneetza facilities in the past and there is opportunity to do so in the future. Some Columneetza students also take some courses at TRU. • Given the demand for skilled tradespeople in B.C. there is a fear that if students had to bus from WLSS to Columneetza for shop classes, enrolment in these trades classes would drop, along with the ability to offer more varied trades courses. • Some WLSS students now take shop courses at Columneetza but that number is less than five per cent of all

the students who take shop courses. The majority are Columneetza students. • Students seeking to take trades courses will bear the majority of the burden of having to bus between the two schools to take the elective courses they need. • Many of the students entering the trades are among the most vulnerable students and may opt not to take trades courses if they have to bus between the schools. • There is also a concern that students will

drive their vehicles to Columneetza for their shop classes instead of taking the school bus, which could pose a safety and liability risk for the district. • There is more parking at Columneetza for students who drive, and having students with cars is an important part of the automotive program. • The WLSS shop is more suited for middle school students. • The Columneetza campus has a day-care centre for teen moth-

breaks the presentations noted that as a junior campus WLSS could be designated as a closed campus for grades 7 to 9 students where students would not be allowed off school grounds during breaks. • The school buses stop at the WLSS door. In the last presentation, Fred Stafford asked the board to be open and transparent about its reasons for choosing WLSS as the 10 to 12 campus and what senior administrators had recommended.

Some fringe area residents want to build own fire department Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Around 100 people attended a rural fringe fire protection meeting hosted by the Cariboo Regional District at the Cariboo Memorial Complex Tuesday evening. From the comments made by several rural residents it was evident they want their own volunteer fire department. A recent Williams Lake Fringe Fire survey conducted by the CRD, garnered 328 completed surveys. Ninety-two

people said they wanted the CRD to develop an additional volunteer fire department, while 42 people indicated they’d be willing to be volunteer fire fighters. Wade Fisher, who lives on Dog Creek Road, told staff and directors at the meeting they need to start planning for a volunteer fire department to serve the rural fringe presently covered by the Williams Lake fire department. He suggested expanding the areas covered by the existing Wildwood and 150 Mile House vol-

unteer fire departments and building an additional satellite hall to serve the Dog Creek and Chilcotin Road area. “That way the organizational stuff is already in place,” Fisher said. “We have a fire chief that’s trained, we have trained officers in place, and we just move ahead with more volunteers.” Williams Lake city council was not elected to represent the rural fringe residents, he added. “City council is there representing its people and if I was sitting on

council I’d be saying I want my $190 per $100,000 and anybody who says differently isn’t looking at reality.” Chief administrative officer Janis Bell said the survey results indicated 224 people out of 328 wanted the CRD to continue with legal action to ensure the “original agreement with the city is enforced.” “We interpreted the survey results as try and get the agreement honoured. If you can do that, do it. If you can’t, then we’re ready to start a fire

department.” Bell also said the CRD agreed to go to mediation with the city to try and reach an agreement because it’s worthwhile to have a conversation and see if having a third party in the room moves negotiations along. “I understand that some people are viewing that the city is here with their $190 and we’re here with our $129 so the goal is going to be to meet somewhere in the middle. The CRD is not going into mediation with a predetermined position on a

dollar figure to negotiate on,” Bell said. It is not the CRD’s intent to be negotiating up, Area F director Joan Sorley added. “If anything, we agreed to go to mediation to spare the taxpayers the costs of protracted litigation and hopefully we can convince the city to honour their original offer.” Chief financial officer Scott Reid confirmed CRD staff is looking at all configurations of providing service for fire protection. When asked if other

regions in the province have experienced a similar situation as the present disagreement over fire protection, Bell said she has not, but has heard that others are interested to see how it “plays out.” As a city taxpayer as well as a CRD taxpayer, John Dressler said he takes exception to the being the “guinea pigs” in a legal exercise that could go on for months and cost potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars.

and the Cariboo Regional District’s Heritage Committee have teamed up to bring a number of speakers together for a moderated, conversational

event called “Heritage Circles.” The event takes place Feb. 23 from 1-5 p.m., at the Museum of the Cariboo-Chilcotin located at 113 Fourth Ave. N. Attendants are encouraged to bring personal stories about growing up in the area to share. The City of Williams Lake Heritage Advisory Committee will also be launching its Memory Map: A Project to Build A collective Memory of the Past. So much history is stored in boxes and old photo albums. Many stories are untold about the history of our City and region, and how we got to where we are today. Do you have photos you’d like to share?

Artifacts you think are important to our history? We not only want to hear from you, we want to see what you’ve got! Take a picture of an old tool or piece of machinery; show us a copy of an old letter. Log in, write us, or put it on the map! The Williams Lake memory map will be touring the community over the next few months and we want to see what you can find. For more information about all events, please contact Chris Hutton, Planning Technician at (250) 392.1770, e-mail at heritage@williamslake.ca; or check us out on Facebook by liking our page: “Williams Lake Heritage Advisory Committee.”

“I don’t think it’s a very good use of taxpayers’ dollars. I think we need to express our extreme dismay with elected officials who got us to the point where we are.” Another resident said she wondered why someone from the city wasn’t present at the meeting to give the city’s point of view. “We have declined to do that,” Bell responded. “I know people want responses from the city and people are entitled to responses from the city, but we’re trying to report to you on what actions we’re going to take. Our board has delegated the responsibility

to deal with this matter to a committee that does not consist of the City of Williams Lake representative because we are going into a court case.” CRD staff did, however, respond to some of the statements made in a Q&A document on fire services released by the city last week and posted on its website. In the document, the city noted it does not collect taxes based on individual services the way the CRD does. Only water and sewer, which are run as independent utilities, are separated from the general budget, so the city would not arrive at a rate of $63 per $100,000 of assessment being the cost of fire protection.

Reid explained how he had reached that dollar amount. “I agree the city doesn’t isolate the various services they provide and indicate what the cost is for each of them. They do post the percentage paid by the various property classes toward the taxes.” The percentage that residential taxpayers paid in 2011 was about 38 per cent of the taxes, so Reid calculated 38 per cent of the cost of fire service and portioned that over the assessed values of properties. It works out to $63 for 2011 and would work out to $72 based on 2012 assessments. “Scott’s acknowledging that the city doesn’t

budget the way the regional district does and he’s performed these calculations and believes them to be an accurate interpretation if you broke it down into individual services that is what it would break down to,” Bell added. The existing fire protection agreement will continue until April 30, 2013. “If we don’t have an agreement in place by that time, I suspect we will be seeking an extension to the injunction,” Bell said.

Snake oil for B.C.’s woes

Incredible turnout for first Family Day event

F

I

was privileged to watch the opening of the fifth session of Parliament and listened first hand to the Throne Speech in Victoria on Tuesday. We are definitely at an important crossroads in provincial history. It is important to be very informed as we approach the May election. I had the From the opporMayor’s tunity to talk to Chair several Kerry Cook ministers, including the premier, reminding them of the city’s priorities.
I attended a Community Policing board meeting last week. It was a great opportunity to meet with many volunteers who have served our community faithfully over the years. They continue to put Williams Lake on the map for our Restorative Justice program, Mounted Citizens on Patrol, and had great numbers with our Operation Red Nose and more. Thank you, thank you! Also last week, I was honoured to speak at the Downtown Business Improvement Area annual general meeting, which had a great turnout. It is one of council’s priorities to do a revitalization of downtown, and we look forward to working with the executive and BIA to make it the best downtown it can be. It is great news that the CRD has agreed to come to the table to mediate on rural fringe fire protection. I’m hopeful mediation can lead to a solution sooner than later, and save the time and expense of a court case. We had an incredible turnout for our first Family Day event on Monday: 315 people skating and 435 swimming! Thanks to a provincial grant, we were able to offer these activities for free. I had a great opportunity to spend Family Day with my parents, as my mom turned 80 this year and every chance to get together is special. Hope you enjoyed your day as well! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Holiday launches tradition For a long time many British Columbians have wanted a holiday between New Year’s Day in January and Good Friday in March or April. This year, they got their wish. Monday was B.C.’s inaugural Family Day, and across the province, there were family-oriented events to participate in — if you were of the mind to do so. But it seems not everyone was happy about that. Leading up to the holiday, several callers into a CBC radio program out of Vancouver complained about the timing. Some people were upset that the holiday was this week and not next week, to coincide with a holiday in the U.S. But the province originally wanted it to be the third Monday in February and not the second. Intense lobbying by many businesses, and a vote of the public, called for the second Monday in February instead. As for the day itself, like any other statutory holi-

day, it gives the opportunity for families to spend time together if they want to do that. And they should. In today’s society, some people have to work on statutory holidays so not everyone got the opportunity to spend quality family time with their loved ones. But that’s not the fault of the holiday. And people who had to work either got paid more to do so or will get another day off in lieu. In B.C. there are now 10 statutory holidays throughout the year, days when families have the opportunity to spend time together (if they do not have to work). But family time should be more than just one day, or even 10 days a year. If it takes a government holiday to encourage us all to put down the cell phone, move away from the computer screen or television set and instead, focus on family, then B.C.’s newest holiday will have done its job. - Black Press

orestry, mining, and agriculture all made cameo appearances in this week’s Throne Speech, but liquefied natural gas (LNG) had the starring role. According to the premier, over the next 30 years, taxes and royalties from LNG will allow B.C. to pay off the provincial debt, get rid of the PST, and fund improved social services. This will supposedly be accomplished by setting up a “Prosperity Fund” consisting of natural gas royalties. A rainy-day fund topped up from BC’s natural resource revenues is a great idea, and MLA I’ve argued for Musings such a Bob Simpson fund myself, but there are a few problems with the Liberals’ proposal: 1) This fund won’t be in place until 2017. That’s two elections from now! 2) Investing in LNG as the Liberals suggest will be bad for B.C.’s environment. Increasing our reliance on LNG means rapidly depleting a non-renewable resource; permanently toxifying trillions of litres of fresh water every year; increasing the fragmentation of our land base; and releasing massive amounts of GHGs into the atmosphere. These emissions will ensure we break B.C.’s law requiring us to reduce GHG emissions by 80 percent by 2050. 3) It’s hard to take seriously the idea that B.C. will receive billions in additional natural gas revenue over the next 30 years. This government hasn’t been able to project natural gas revenue correctly in any of the last 10 budgets. The 2009/10 revenue from natural gas was projected to be $1.7 billion in 2007, $1.3 billion in 2008, and $522 million in the 2009 budget. Actual revenue collected in 2009/10: $464 million. 4) B.C. will be far too late into the Asian market to benefit from pricing premiums. British Columbians will most likely end up subsidizing the industry instead of benefitting from it. We’ll also end up paying higher domestic prices for our own natural gas to boot. Anyone paying attention to the unfolding saga of the global rush to export LNG to Asia knows that the premier’s LNG cure-all is snake oil, and nothing more. I pity the Liberal MLAs and candidates having to make promises for 2017 while they’re still fighting the 2013 election. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

More Viewpoints Confused about board of Question of the week trustees’ decisions Editor: The work that our trustees have done in the past few months has been difficult and I am sure has taken a great deal of time from their personal lives. However, having taught at both Williams Lake secondary and Columneetza secondary, I am very confused as to the reasons why the board of trustees decided to make Columneetza a 7-9 school and Williams Lake secondary a 10-12 school. A consideration of the two very different physical spaces and facilities at the schools makes it seem clear that Columneetza should be the senior high school. The first of these reasons is the presence of the state of the art carpentry, automotive and metalwork shops at Columneetza. Large numbers of students use

these shops and the presence of an apprenticeship partnership with Thompson Rivers University means that proximity between the facilities is important. A complicating factor is busing Williams Lake senior students to take shop courses at CSS. First, busing has proven to be an abysmal failure for students in the past; these students do not want to bus back and forth, do not want to spend, especially double blocks that extend over lunch, with a much younger grade level and do not have a sense of identity to the building. It is almost certain that enrolment in shop courses would plummet, and this occurs at a time when economists and immigration experts clearly state that the trades are in desperate need of workers and pay these workers top wages. Busing between the schools is

also expensive and is costly to the environment. Another problem with a comparison of the facilities at the two schools is the number of science labs; Williams Lake secondary has approximately three labs and Columneetza has six science labs. This is a critical consideration: Grades 10-12 are the three years the government sets out for the graduation program. A shortage of lab space could seriously impact these three critical years. I think the trustees should visit both of the schools and look at the facilities before moving ahead with their plans. Once put in effect, a plan that did not carefully consider logistics could create scheduling and bussing issues that would be very difficult to reverse. Gaye Burton-Coe Williams Lake

Here come the bribes; more party promises Editor: By bribes I mean the pre-election enticement of how wonderful the Liberals are with ad campaigns dissing the very things the Liberals are doing. Maybe some announcements of “special funding” for projects that should have been attended to years ago. Perhaps a seniors administrator is needed because seniors usually vote and the subject of political promises when little or nothing is done. Photo ops become the norm in the local press. What have the Liberals really

done for the province: huge debt, lowered taxes for rich corporations, selling off profitable BC assets, deception, secret contracts to use obscene amounts of water for fracking that will never be recovered, cover up on the tainted BC Rail sale … don’t forget the courses offered by the govt for businesses to bring in foreign workers. We’ve seen and heard too much of this before and if you believe it, I know a lemming herd. The opposition NDP, that is thinking they are in, has their ideas too, although they are afraid to comment

much because you won’t like it. Higher taxes, more poisonous fracking, smart meters stay, flip-flop on banning “cosmetic” pesticides and herbicides, higher ICBC rates, more union favours and now corporate favours to pay off. Words like “committed to” will be ringing often with nothing to back it up. Truth in advertising is the world’s biggest oxymoron. Gary Young Independent candidate Cariboo-Chilcotin

Clark’s poor approval rating not based on gender bias Editor: Re: “Start thinking about election” letter from Diane Walters, Feb. 7, Tribune. You say you’re feeling sorry for Premier Christy Clark and that she’s being picked on because she’s a woman. According to an Angus Reid poll from Jan. 25 to Feb. 1, 39 per cent found her arrogant, 41 per cent found her out of touch, and 33 per cent found her secretive and inefficient. These are not gender biased, as half the people on the voters

list are women. Have you given the following any thought? The closure of schools in your area, the number of businesses gone, the blackened forests in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, the HST you’re still paying although it was voted out in August 2011, how about the devastating effects of runof-river projects, the diseased salmon farms, the BC Rail fiasco with Basi-Virk and the $6 million paid to their defence, (how many schools could run on that $6 million?), child and family services that are anything but, fracking in the north and the long-term ef-

fects, the threat of a pipeline that allows tankers into pristine waters, department of fisheries that does not protect our waterways nor our resource salmon, the staggering amount of our money spent to make us think the Christy Clark Liberals give a [hoot] about jobs for youth? The stadium roof that cost an obscene amount, or the money suddenly not available to charities that depended on grants from the lotteries. And you want to see what Premier Clark can do? It’s right there in every newspaper, e-mail,

twitter, radio and television report and community gathering. It would seem that Clark and her government are destroying our rivers, lakes, waterways, school system, family services and selling off forest reserves, to mention a few. The carnage must stop. When you vote for the Liberals please understand you support their anti-democratic behaviour, secret deals, and favours to “friends’ who donate. Research every candidate. Maureen Foss Lac La Hache

Epee de Groundhog celebrates 13 years Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer It was the 13th annual Scout Island Fencing Club’s Epee de Groundhog fencing competition Saturday at Mountview elementary. Close to 20 competitors from Williams Lake, Horsefly, Prince George and in between took up arms in three categories divided by age group in an attempt to be named champions. The Epee de Groundhog or, the groundhog’s sword, has a longstanding tradition in Williams Lake, said SIFC president and coach Glen Burrill. The SIFC has an even longer history in the lakecity. “We started fencing here in 1997, just me and a couple friends,” Burrill said. “We didn’t have a gym so we fenced in various places outside and one of the places we fenced at quite often was Scout Island.” A couple of years later, just prior to the club being formed, they decided to name the fencing club after Scout Island. Then in 2000, the B.C. Fencing Association approached the club to ask if they were sending a team to that year’s BC Winter Games in Quesnel. “We got a team together of four young people specifically for that event and that was the beginning of our program working with young people,” he said. “From there we became certified coaches, and we just slowly started getting more young people.” The club, which also has a satellite club in Horsefly, now sees multiple youth take part in its bi-weekly

The Epee de Groundhog’s inaugural event began in 2001. “And we just went from there,” Burrill said. “We’ve had a tournament every year. People have come and gone, we’ve seen kids get bigger and bigger and we’ve had a really neat bunch of people come to this. We’ve had people come from Prince George, Vernon, Kelowna, Vancouver and even some exchange students from Germany and Mexico.” Fencing requires competitors to combine flexibility, speed and elusiveness. Each competitor’s suit is hooked up to an electrical current, which determines when points are

scored when the epee is thrust and hits the suit. Each hit is worth one point. At the Epee de Groundhog competitors took part in a five-point round robin, followed by a 15-point direct elimination showdown. “It’s not always the strongest person or the biggest person who wins,” Burrill said. “It’s a real thinking game. It’s really exhausting. Fencing is an anaerobic sport so you’re constantly starting and stopping.” In the under 12 division it was a one, two lakecity finish. Caden Nickel claimed gold, while Amelia Burrill took silver. The under 17 division saw Wil-

liams Lake and area competitors, again, sweep the podium. Josh Swan nabbed gold, Justin VanderKraan won silver and Horsefly’s Joshua Yahnke and Hayley Thomas took bronze. With nine competitors registered the open epee division was the largest. There, Horsefly’s Ivan Yahnke outlasted the rest of the competition to win the gold medal. VanderKraan claimed silver and Prince George’s Graeme McSweeney and Williams Lake’s Richard Rodelander won bronze. In the open sabre division Ivan won gold, Rodelander took silver and McSweeney and Horsefly’s Siegfried Plamper won bronze.

play, the Banshees rallied for two tries in the second half to defeat B.C. 10-5 and advance to the final. In the other semifinal, Notre Dame defeated Bishops College of Quebec to set up a rematch of the 2012 tournament finale. The championship game was an epic battle between two very skilled and evenly matched teams. The Banshees again clawed back from an early deficit to tie the game in the second half with tries from Tiffany Picketts and Alex Mueller. Both sides had chances to finish things in regulation, but strong, disciplined defence from both teams eventually saw the game forced to extra time tied at 10. On the ensuing kick off the Hounds shot through a small gap and with a wonderful open-field

sprint, secured the 15-10 suddendeath win. While disappointed with the loss team captain Samanthä Jory was proud of her team’s performance. “We looked forward to playing Notre Dame from our very first team practice last fall. They are an excellent team and we knew we would have to bring everything we had to beat them. Although we fell a bit short, we couldn’t be happier with our performance.” The Banshees are a self-organized team comprised of players from clubs and high schools from around B.C. Butters and Davis were the only two players who competed from outside the Lower Mainland. The team is coached by Canadian national team veteran Julia Sugawara.

BC Banshees runners up at Vegas invitational For the second year in a row the BC Banshees, including Williams Lake’s Sheridan Davis and Anne Butters, took second place at the prestigious Las Vegas Invitational rugby tournament this past weekend. After strong pool play that included dominating wins over teams from Lowland (Utah), Glendale (Colorado) and Castle Rock (Colorado), the Banshees had their first tough test against the Notre Dame Hounds from Saskatchewan, who used their size and speed to beat the Banshees 22-5. The loss left the team with a 3-1 record, good enough for second place in Pool A and a place in the tournament semi-finals. In the semi-final, the Banshees overcame a strong B.C. rep side who had finished atop Pool B, also with

Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Stampeders used discipline and scoring prowess to perfection in Quesnel Saturday to take a 1-0 best-of-three series lead over the Quesnel Kangaroos in the Central Interior Hockey League East Division final. Stampeders sniper Jassi Sangha scored twice and tallied three points to lead all scorers, while Williams Lake netminder Justin Foote turned aside 35 of 36 shots in a 5-1 win. Williams Lake led 1-0

after one after Sangha opened the scoring midway through the frame. Quesnel’s Levon Johnson tied it up early in the second before the floodgates opened for Williams Lake. Dylan Richardson made it 2-1 shortly after, followed by another marker from Matt Lees to head into the third up 3-1. Nathan Zurak added a power player goal, followed by Sangha’s second to close out the scoring. Stamps defenceman and captain Aaron Zurak also contributed two assists. Quesnel’s Ryan Man-

derson stopped 38 of 43 shots in the losing effort. Penalties in the contest — an area Stampeders general manager Kelly Kholen noted prior to the series his club would need to keep under control — tilted heavily toward Quesnel, who amassed 26 minutes in penalties to just 10 for Williams Lake. In the CIHL West Division final the Smithers Steelheads upended the Kitimat Ice Demons 4-1 in Kitimat. Ian Smith (3) and Mark Arnold lit the lamp for the Steelheads, while Brandon Wakita potted the lone goal for

the Ice Demons. Game two of each respective series goes Saturday, when Williams Lake was supposed to host the Quesnel Kangaroos at the CMRC. However, due to the city’s union workers serving a 72-hour strike notice late Wednesday afternoon, games two and three have been moved to Quesnel because the CMRC will be closed. Game two starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Twin Ice Arenas in Quesnel. Game three, if necessary, goes Sunday at 1 p.m. in Quesnel.

Skating club glides to regionals this weekend Four members of the Williams Lake Skating Club will glide to Kitimat this weekend to compete at the CNCR regional competition. Alana Walters, Jade Johnson, Amanda Lane

and Dawn Henley will combine to compete in eight events at the meet. Walters will compete in Bronze Elements and Star 4 under 13; Johnson will compete

in Preliminary Spins and Star 4 13 and over; Lane will compete in Bronze Elements and Pre-Juvenile; Henley will compete in Silver Elements and Senior Bronze.

Following that, March 8-10, the club travels to the SuperSeries of skating in Kelowna — an event streamed live online. For results see a future Tribune.

Blue Fins make splash at AA championships Just under 400 swimmers converged on the Surrey Sports and Leisure Centre Feb. 8-10 for the 2013 SwimBC Short Course AA Championships. And the Williams Lake Blue Fins were right in the thick of it, swimming up a storm in the 2013 Provincial Trials Championships. “As always, this is always one of the most exciting meets of the year as most of these swimmers were there seeking to attain their first AAA times to qualify for the AAA championships,” said Blue Fins head coach Chad Webb. Emerging from the meet was one new qualifier for the AAA Provincial Championships to join two other Williams Lake qualified swimmers. Kara Zavitz destroyed the competition in the 100-metre backstroke and achieved a AAA time by more than a second, beating her competition by the same

Station House features children’s art Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune The Upper Gallery at the Station House belongs to the kids this month. It features the work of 17 young artists between the ages of five-and-a-half to 12 years old who participated in last summer’s Station House Gallery art classes taught by Kathryn Steen, and five students from Beth Holden’s After School Art Program. For the summer art classes there were two classes each day for five days during the second week of July. “In the past we offered separate classes for ages six to nine and 10-12,” says Steen. “Last summer we had a huge demand for the younger students, so we expanded the older class to include younger students.” Each two-hour class focused on playing with a variety of materials, including, graphite, charcoal, paint, oil and chalk pastels and printmaking. “Along the way students were encouraged to experiment with line, shapes and colour,” says Steen. The young artists who attended the Feb. 7 opening at the Gallery with their families, seemed very proud to have their work displayed. Mason Toop, 10, stood beside his life-size self-portrait that a classmate traced of him, that he painted. The resemblance is obvious, despite the inch or so Mason has grown in six months. Drew Woodford, also 10, eagerly explains the technique behind his fish composition. “You start out tracing the outline with pencil, then put glue over top, then roll five different coats of paint on top of that,” he says. “His second colourful piece of butterflies was drawn with oil pastels.” Six-year-old Klay Pare, who is in the after school program, had various siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles join her and her mom, Tovi, for the exhibition. Gage Davis, 6, and three-year-olds Kai Pare and Freja Pare were quite intrigued by Klay’s painting of a horse, flower and sun. For seven-year-old Leah Lauren, the gallery show was extra special. She got to attend as part of four generations of her family, mom Tania Lauren, nannie Heather Patenaude, and GG (great grandmother) Ruth Lord. Not only that, but GG bought last summer’s art classes for her as a birthday present. Now as a birthday present for Lord, who turns 95 on Feb. 27, Leah got to bring GG to the show.

Drew Woodford, 10, with his fish creation which he started by tracing with pencil, added glue, then rolled on five different colours of paint to give very interesting effect It doesn’t get any better than that. Also proudly displaying their work were eight-year-old Bayley Stratton with his colourful “Monster” pastel drawing, and Olivia Sawyer, 8, with her “Banjo player.” Olivia comes by her talent naturally. Her grandma, Linda Sawyer, is an accomplished Cariboo artist. During the summer art classes, Steen brought in a model posing with a banjo for her students. One of most interesting aspects of the show is the range of compositions depicting the banjo player. Steen, who is also the Station House Gallery Society president, is a retired teacher of 25 years. She spent five of those years teaching art for Grades K to 7. Steen has been teaching the summer art classes for six or seven years, and says the classes are a lot of work, but she gets a lot of satisfaction and enjoyment from working with the children. The Station House Gallery continues to offer art classes for children throughout the year in their After School Art Program. The instructors, Beth Holden and Ivannah Ko, offer a variety of art activities and welcome parents to register their children for classes by calling the Gallery at 250-3926113. Holden, the Station House Gallery curator, says the February show is just the first of a great slate of exhibitions scheduled for 2013.

Film club shows documentaries on food modification Krista Liebe Special to The Tribune The Williams Lake Film Club will show two documentaries this Tuesday – Genetic Roulette and Seeds of Freedom. A very important subject at this time is genetic modification, something that is being pushed through by corporations and governments at an ever-increasing speed. Even Bill Gates with his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has purchased 500,000 shares in Monsanto back in 2010 valued at more than $23 million (source: Natural News) claiming that his benevolent charity is helping to eradicate disease and feeding the world’s poor according to The Guardian, a prominent UK newspaper. However, the documentary Genetic Roulette shows

never-before-seen evidence pointing to genetically engineered foods as a major contributor to rising disease rates in the U.S. population, especially among children. Gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, inflammatory diseases,

and infertility are just some of the problems implicated in humans, pets, livestock, and lab animals that eat genetically modified soybeans and corn. Strong-arm tactics by companies like Monsanto, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s policies, and how the U.S. Department of Agriculture ignores a growing health emergency are also laid bare. The documentary Genetic Roulette is based on the book of the same title by Jeffrey M. Smith; Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods. Many tests have been done documenting these health risks. When you do some research on the film, you will find that there are many strong opinions against it, so many in fact that you are left with the distinct feeling

Vanishing Point to screen at the Longhouse Feb. 20 A National Film Board documentary that premiered at the 2012 Calgary International Film Festival will be screened at the Longhouse on Wednesday, Feb. 20. The film is presented by the Williams Lake Library and show time is 7 p.m. Vanishing Point was directed by Canmore filmmakers Stephen A. Smith and Julia Szucs, and takes place in the tiny village south of Qaanaaq in Greenland, states the CRD library press release. The film is narrated by Navarana K’avigak,’ who was born and lives in Greenland. Navarana speaks six languages, and narrates the film in Inukitut. She is a descendant of the Baffin Island Shaman, Qidtlarssuaq who convinced many of his nomadic family to journey to Greenland in 1860. The account of this early journey is entwined with three modern-day hunting trips; two take place in the Uummannaq District of

Greenland, and the third in the community of Quikiqtarjuaq on Baffin Island. This is a story of proud people, who struggle to maintain their practices of hunting and gathering, while bringing up their children. It subtly invokes the viewer to consider issues surrounding sur-

vival, tradition and our place in the world. The Williams Lake Longhouse can be accessed by Pinchbeck Street through the Stampede Grounds. For further information, please contact the Cariboo Regional District Library in Williams Lake at 250-392-3630 or visit the website at cln.bc.ca.

First annual Read for 15 Challenge “Rochs” Carla Bullinger Special to The Tribune “Are you a reader?” “Yes!” shouted the kids. “Then you are a leader!!” So went the exchange between Sir Read-a-Lot the moose and the primary classes at Marie Sharpe elementary. Marie Sharpe was just one of many schools and groups that participated in the First Annual CCPL Read for 15 Challenge – students read for 15 minutes and then received a nifty neon pencil with the slogan “Readers are Leaders.”

Many schools embraced the opportunity to do something different for the reading challenge: Mountview School reenacted The Hockey Sweater by Roch Carrier; students in Lac La Hache read their favourite story to parents which was followed by a delicious lunch for all to enjoy; at the Mountview Strong Start, Officer McGee read the Fire Station by Robert Munsch. The group then went outside to see his police vehicle where the children were allowed to turn on the siren and speak through the

Mask by artist Latham Mack featured in UBC Nuxalk collection Caitlin Thompson Special to The Tribune Local Nuxalk artist Latham Mack’s latest work is now permanently on display as part of UBC’s Museum of Anthropology Nuxalk collection. Mack was commissioned to create the piece by MOA’s curator and director, Dr. Jennifer Cramer, who has written extensively about Nuxalk art and culture. “After I won the YVR Art Foundation scholarship two years in a row, Jennifer became really interested in purchasing a piece of mine for the Nuxalk collection at MOA,” said Mack. “For this project, I decided on an eagle design that told one of our Nuxalk creation stories.” Mack’s Diving Eagle Cloak Mask, carved from alder and cedar bark, features an eagle diving down towards earth with a human face carved into its back, meant to symbolize the Nuxalk creation stories of their ancestors first descending from the sky in animal cloaks before taking on a human form. The MOA collection features Nuxalk art both past and present. In addition to the new• • • • • •

to keep your name circulating out there all the time.” Mack’s next piece will be bringing him home to Bella Coola, hopefully in the spring. As the recipient of the First People’s Cultural Council Aboriginal Arts Development Award for Emerging Individual Artists, Mack is carving one of his largest pieces yet under his mentor – a Sun Mack with the four carpenters that will be publicly displayed at the Nuxalk Nation Administration office for about six months. Mack is especially excited about the piece as his uncle Morris Battensby, in Bella Coola, donated the red cedar he’s using in the project. Friends and family play a big role in Mack’s life and work, something he consistently mentions. “I’d like to Jennifer Cramer for purchasing the piece for UBC,” said Mack. “And I’d also like to thank my mentors, teachers, and family and friends for their support.” Story courtesy of the Coast Mountain News.

Bob. After his graduation in 2010, he kept on working with him and has no plans to stop. “I learn so much from him; everyday it’s something new,” said Mack. “He’s constantly pushing me to get better, it’s remarkable how much I am always learning from him. I plan to continue work-

ing with him as long as I can.” Bob, who trained with legendary artist Freda Diesing, recently added two honourary doctorates to his significant list of accomplishments, one from Athabaska University and the other from Emily Carr University. Mack says it is Bob’s insistence on following the process of carving that makes him such a great artist. “When I started this eagle mask it was my first major piece and Dempsy made me draw it over and over and over,” Mack explained. “He always says if you can’t draw it, then how can you carve it?” Mack doesn’t keep track of all of the hours he spends on his carvings, but estimates the large eagle mask for the museum took the better part of a few months to complete. He’s been doing private commissions for clients, but is also keen to get some more pieces into the market. “The art world is actually pretty small,” says Mack. “I am happy to do the commissions but it’s also good

“They call the Cariboo home” Burdikins look back on lifetime of adventure LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune Williams Lake residents Evelyn and John Burdikin have embraced new challenges and adventures throughout their lives on two continents. Their experiences include crossing the ocean from England and teaching at a small ‘bush school’ in rural B.C. in 1952 and moving from Port Coquitlam to Williams Lake — with a lifetime of adventures in between. The two met in teacher training college in Sheffield, England. Evelyn had been there a year when John arrived, and said that at the end of that year a lot of men were leaving the forces after World War II. “Instead of getting only 18 year old boys at the college, we got a real man like John,” she said. John explained that you had a choice of things you could do when you left the forces: you could get some training or go back to school and said that he chose to go to teacher training. He got a taste for teaching while he was in the navy, helping to train enlisted men for various kinds of tech jobs. He found that he had an affinity for teaching and decided to pursue it as a career when he got out of the navy. He said that he joined the navy in 1944 before the invasion of Europe. “It was really a quirk of fate that Evelyn and I met,” he explained. “The group of guys ahead of me went to Japan, but when it came to my turn they had dropped the bomb and they didn’t send any more troops.” Evelyn said that they met in 1949, added that in college John was in charge of social activities like the Saturday dances. “I went

to the dance with my friend. John knew her and asked her to dance, and afterward he asked me,” she said. She said that she wanted to be a teacher for many years, adding that her first teaching job was the ‘baby’ class at a small school on the outskirts of Sheffield. John’s first job was teaching in a secondary school in the east end of Sheffield, specializing in technical and machine drawing. A friend of a friend had moved to Canada and was designing part of a big shopping centre in Vancouver, B.C. “He kept saying, ‘You should come to Canada — there are lots of jobs here,’” John said. “Things were different in Canada after

the war: they were desperate for teachers. In England there were fewer jobs and housing was hard to come by.” “We kept hearing these great stories from Canada and decided to come here. John wanted to come and see what it was like. He came over with a friend at Easter 1952. We decided that I would come over, and after five days on a boat and five days on a train, I eventually arrived in Vancouver,” Evelyn continued. “We had planned to get married two days after that.” John got a house and jobs lined up for them in a bush school south of Powell River, and worked for the summer with the Forest Service at a fire station.

They had a short time to plan a wedding. “John met a guy whose brother was a warden at the St. James Church, and they offered to arrange the wedding. The wife of the superintendant of schools who hired us held a beautiful reception for them at their lovely home in Vancouver,” Evelyn noted, adding that they were married on August 15, 1952. “We each had 15 students in our first little school. I taught grades 1-3 and John taught grades 4-6. We had a whale of a time,” she said. “It was like paradise. The kids would get on the bus after school and we’d hop in our bathing suits and head for the beach. It was lovely and the people adopted

us,” she said. “We stayed five years, and our oldest son was born there.” At the end of their five years at Stillwater, John was persuaded to take a job as vice principal in a 600-student school in Prince Rupert, and they moved there with a nine-month old son and another baby on the way. That baby, a daughter, was born in Prince Rupert. Two years later John took a job as assistant superintendant in Coquitlam, where their third child, another boy, was boy. Today they have seven grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren. They spent their careers in B.C., Evelyn in kindergarten classrooms and John in school administration and also serving as school superintendant. “We lived through a lot of different experiences. I went to summer school for 10 years, through my master’s degree,” John said. “Evelyn would be home with the kids, and at the end of the summer she’d drive down and we’d all have a little holiday. “We were privileged – we had a good life. At one point we packed up and went to Oxford for a year so that our families could see the kids when they were young,” he continued. “We farmed them out to stay with relatives while we were there and they’ve remained close ever since.” “When you live in a small house and teach in a little school surrounded by bush and bears, you become very dependant on each other,” John said. “People used to ask me how we managed to live in the bush like that, but we thought it was marvelous,” Evelyn added. “We just accepted each other as we were and took the rough with the smooth.”

Megan Fofonoff Huska Megan Fofonoff Huska, of Vernon BC, passed away peacefully with family by her side on December 11, 2012 at the Vernon Hospice House at the age of 31. Megan was born November 13, 1981, at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams Lake to Peter and the late Debbie Fofonoff (deceased 2001). Megan’s first 2 years were spent on Pigeon Avenue until the family moved to Cowichan Bay, BC in 1984. Megan attended Bench Elementary School where she enjoyed field hockey, Brownies and family outings digging for clams and picking blackberries. At an early age, she was introduced into the life of a traveling sports family. As a result Megan developed a love for watching hockey and her beloved Vancouver Canucks. In 1990, the family returned to Williams Lake where she started grade 4 at Chilcotin Road Elementary at which time Megan made a lot of new friends. She enjoyed gymnastics at an early age. Megan attended Williams Lake Junior Secondary in 1994 becoming involved in volleyball and skiing at Mt. Timothy with her family. In 1997 Megan attended Columneetza Secondary School and later received a certificate in the Business Office Assistant Program at UCC Williams Lake Campus. Soon after, Megan obtained a position at Parker Pacific Inland Kenworth in Williams Lake. In 2003, Megan met Justin Huska and moved to Kelowna and in 2005 bought a home in Westshore Estates along Okanagan Lake. Justin and Megan were married in Vernon on June 23, 2007. In October 2008, their daughter Sophie Faith Margaret Huska was born. Megan and Sophie were attached at the hip and had the most beautiful mother-daughter bond. Megan always viewed her family as her top priority and took part in many family functions. For many years, Megan participated and raised funds for the CIBC Run for the Cure. Megan was enthusiastic towards increasing awareness of Breast Cancer and represented many women battling the disease. Megan is survived by her husband Justin Huska and daughter Sophie, father Peter Fofonoff and stepmother Darlene Neels, brothers Kirby Fofonoff (Robin) and Chad Fofonoff (Ashley), step-brothers Tyler Neels (Rochelle) and Ian Neels (Serena), parentsin-law Pat and Connie Huska, sisters-in-law Chrysta Huska (Linden), Camille Fawcett (Andy), Kyla Sherman (Pat), Stephanie Harrison (Gord), Jessica Kantymir (James) and many treasured nieces and nephews. A Memorial service was held in celebration of Megan’s life on December 21, 2012 at St. Andrews United Church in Williams Lake, BC. Megan’s family would like to express their appreciation for all the compassion, support and sincere sympathy through your phone calls, visits, cards, flowers, emails, food and donations. The community of Williams Lake has been outstanding. Megan leaves us with many fond memories and will always be in our hearts and an inspiration to everyone she has touched.
