Council finalized its authorization for payment of up to 50 per cent of the cost of hauling dirt in and out of the arena for the Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo for 2013 only. A number of city staff have volunteered to operate the city’s equipment to haul the dirt in and out, as they have for a number of years. City staff will volunteer between 70 and 90 man hours on the project, reducing the cost to the city.

Mayor Kerry Cook wants to seize on what she says is a short window of opportunity in regards to offering fringe area residents fire protection. “I am willing to provide fire protection services to rural residents at a cost that reflects the type of service we are delivering and providing to the rural areas,” she said during Tuesday’s council meeting. “I don’t believe we have to compromise the level of service to the level that they are agreeing to paying.” It was the first time since the law suit was launched by the CRD in December seeking to make the city keep to its original offer of a fiveyear term, and the subsequent oneyear agreement resulting from mediation reached this month, that mayor and council have spoken publicly about the issue. Cook acknowledged how difficult the last three months have been because of the legal action between the city and the CRD.

“I was in a majority that supported the October resolution for a fiveyear agreement and I was the minority decision of council to turn down the fire-year agreement and go to a one-year agreement,” she said. It’s not about pointing fingers and finding fault, it’s about moving forward to find an agreed-to amount, she added. “The reason I did not support getting away from the five-year agreement was because I was simply not willing to risk losing the $700,000 plus that we received for providing fire protection,” Cook said. “It would be a huge hardship to my taxpayers and the city.” It’s unfortunate that historically, when the city was looking at building a new fire hall it didn’t enter into a longterm agreement with the CRD at that point, she suggested. Coun. Ivan Bonnell noted the CRD is pursuing the option of providing its own service and he fully understands as a level of government they have the right to do that. “Until they run that discussion out with their residents and make a deci-

sion post 2013 there’s really no point from my perspective for the city to be making any comments about fire protection.” The biggest challenge is financing the capital costs and debt of the new fire hall, he added. “It’s been the cost-driver that’s driven everybody around the bend. We inherited that decision and there’s no getting away from that debt.” Whether it’s done by the city itself or in co-operation with the CRD will be yet to be seen, Bonnell said. Coun. Geoff Bourdon agreed fire protection has been a contentious issue. “Regardless of where this goes, because it is within the CRD’s right to go set up their own fire protection, moving forward regardless of the outcome we’ll either have an agreement or a deficit that we’ll have to deal with as a council,” he said. Zacharias said she is very relieved to be out of the legal challenges. “As a former CRD director from 2005 to 2008 in Area D we took great pride in building a good work-

ing relationship with the city,” she recalled. “After being elected to the city I’ve taken great pride in working on the relationship.” There was a “cloud hanging over” during the time, she said. “During my time as a CRD director there was a lot of support for the fire hall to be built to accommodate the future needs of the city and the rural fringe. The fire hall we had was so small and in such a concentrated area that it no longer served its purpose.” Zacharias added she is hopeful a longterm agreement can be reached. Walters also said she did not vote with the majority to cancel the fiveyear term. “I hope this extension will allow both the city and the CRD to come forward with another option that will be fair to all concerned,” she said. “It’s absolutely ridiculous and makes no sense whatsoever and is not fair to the citizens of both the city and the CRD and build another fire hall.” See MAYOR Page A3

Staff has made comments, but council will meet at a future committee of the whole meeting to add its opinions. City planning technician Chris Hutton said the report talks about additional integration between the CRD and the city. “Any additional integration is beneficial to both parties,” Hutton said. One difference he pointed out includes the CRD’s focus on protecting agricultural lands for food production, whereas the city’s focus is more involved with the directions of supply and demand of food. “The focus on a climate action plan and

taking a regional approach is an ongoing project for both parties at this time,” he said. The OCP will go to a public information meeting on April 4, followed by a formal public hearing and final adoption by the re-

gional board. “It’s intended to be a living document,” Sorley said, adding it’s not intended when it’s finally adopted to be the end of it. A copy of the plan is available on the CRD website.

Lately a heritage plan was adopted in 2007 between the city and the CRD. Limitations for the fringe OCP are the number of woodlots that exist, wildfires and the lack of sewer and water infrastructure in the Dog Creek and Mountview area, Brundrige said. In March the plan had first and second reading at the board level, and was sent to the city for comments.

The Cariboo Regional District shared a draft of its Williams Lake Fringe Area official community plan with Williams Lake city council Tuesday. CRD manager of planning services Rick Brundrige and Area F director Joan Sorley gave a power point presentation, highlighting similarities with the plan, titled Building Communities Together, and that of Williams Lake’s OCP. They include invasive plants, community groups, climate change, trail networks, quality of life and transportation. “We’ve identified

things we want to build on with the city,” Brundrige said. The Williams Lake fringe is the largest area within the CRD, with 60 per cent of it in agricultural land reserves. “We have complexities with different matters of consideration,” he explained. “We all have concerns about the natural environment and we want people to come and live in the Williams Lake area.” Clean air and wooded skylines along the lake are part of that vision.

Lakecity will use eight million litres of water on Friday Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer On World Water Day people in Williams Lake will use eight million litres of water. That’s the average daily consumption of water at this time of year in the lakecity. In the summer months the amount quadruples to 32 million litres a day, resulting in a total use of 4.5 billion gallons annually. The good news is that’s a 20 per cent reduction since 2006. The water originates from four 70-metre deep wells on Scout Island, and one further down on Duncan Road. Wells on Scout Island were punched out in 1969, the well at Duncan Road in 2004. Prior to that, a former building site at Duncan Road pumped drinking water from Williams Lake, but when the rules changed by the 1980s it was no longer a healthy option. Before Duncan Road, the city’s drinking water came from the Williams Lake River below the Station House Gallery. “The nice thing about the wells we have now is they are so deep. The aquifer is about 100 feet down and below a thick layer of glacial till,” City of Williams Lake manager of sewer and water Joe Engle-

berts said during a tour of the city’s water system. “The glacial till is a fairly porous layer that doesn’t allow water to flow through. There’s a slim chance of water becoming contaminated because the wells are so deep.” It will travel through 117 kilometres of water main and 110 kilometres of sewer and sanitation networks, all buried two metres beneath the roads to insulate against freezing. There are also 60 kilometres of storm and sewer lines that have to be maintained, along with 500 fire hydrants. Twice a year city crews flush the water mains at different zones, plus all components have life spans. “We also try and be at least one year ahead of the pavement management program so we’re not digging up new roads. We’ve done South Lakeside already and will do Pigeon, Western and 11th Avenue.” There’s a one per cent replacement rule in water and sewer planning, he said. “We have nine reservoirs in four separate zones,” Engleberts said. The city’s water staff consists of six full-time and two seasonal employees tasked with

City utility operators George Bell and Pat Mahood replace an injection pump at the city’s water station on Duncan Road. water treatment and distribution and waste water collection and treatment. Because every water system is unique, it’s nice to have experienced staff, Engleberts said, adding some of his employees have been there for more than 30 years, others more than 20. “They know the quirks of our water system. It gets into a rhythm that in some cases is day to day, month to month, or even year to year.” Take the summer

months for example, he explained. People are running air conditioners and cooling systems or watering gardens and lawns. “We have restrictions because the use quadruples, not because the water itself is at a low level. When the daily demand increases so intensely, the movement of water itself through the system intensifies.” And often the water has to travel from Scout Island through a few stations to meet that demand.

Each zone has an associated station. Each station has pumps to gather water from reservoirs and send it to where its needed. At the stations water is tested daily for chloroform and e-coli. Four samples taken are sent to an independent lab weekly, monthly, semiannually and yearly, and the parameters increase, testing for things like arsenic or zinc. The sampling results are available for the public to view on the city’s website, along

with the annual water report, Engleberts noted. “We’ve never had a boil water advisory,” he added. A Supervisory, Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) computer program has been in place at the city for 15 years. The system will contact the on-call employee at home if there’s a problem. “They can access it remotely from home so they don’t have to come down to station but go right to the field where the problem is. The computer program is the communicator, transferring information from a system that acts like its own brain.” Even if the computers go down, the “brain” system will continue working so that everything’s not relying on one system. The system is also totally self-sufficient, communicating through a radio system that’s been working really well for everyone. Aside from immediate information, the computer system stores historical data. It helps determine trends, Engleberts said. Eventually SCADA will be available to the public and citizens will be able to take virtual

tours. Water is treated with chlorine with a system that makes sodium hypochlorite at the stations on Scout Island and Duncan Road. “Before it was chlorine gas, which is dangerous, but now there’s no hazardous materials used,” said George Bell. “We’ve been gas free for five years.” When the water first arrives in the station it is filtered to remove green slime, using a diluted salt brine. Once its chlorinated, the water sits in large tanks before being pumped to other stations. Up until 2011, the city added fluoride to its water, but after a referendum discontinued the practice. “Many communities are trending away from it,” Engleberts said. When asked about the future of the city’s water supply Engleberts expressed confidence the demand can be maintained for 30 to 40 years. “We are looking at the future of our system and sources, the San Jose watershed, the aquifer and its lifespan. We aren’t going to run out tomorrow but it’s important to be looking well into the future,” he explained, no pun intended.

song of what will happen in 2014?” he said. “My suggestion is that we meet with the CRD and come up with a solution. If we don’t meet we are not doing what our citizens elected us to do.” In motion Cook suggested the city write to the CRD stating the city is still interested in providing rural fire

protection and the two parties need to find a cost that’s acceptable to both parties. Her motion was accepted unanimously, although Coun. Danica Hughes was absent. The CRD will be hosting a public meeting about fire protection on Thursday, March 22 at the Gibraltar Room, at 5:30 p.m.

Mayor and council want fire protection talks with CRD Continued From Page A1 Citizens living in the fringe area are citizens who live, work and play in Williams Lake as well, she added. “I keep that thought in my mind and I do think for the City of Williams Lake and I know we do provide service for the area.

Hopefully it’s not too late and we can come forward and work this out.” Coun. Surinderpal Rathor was on the council in 2005 and 2008 when the decision to build the fire hall was made. “I supported the new fire hall based on the demand and the need, not only by the city, but

from outside the city boundary also, with the view the new fire hall would serve us for years and years,” he said. The cost went over, right or wrong, he added, but regardless somebody woke up one day and said they didn’t want to pay for it. “I don’t blame the CRD staff or directors,

but I want to remind everyone that my job as a councillor is to my citizens. I’m here to protect the city’s expenses and taxes as the CRD staff and directors are.” Echoing Cook’s statement that it would have been ideal to work out a longterm agreement before building the fire hall, Rathor said the city and CRD

had warning from the provincial government in 1993 that it wanted the two parties to come up with an agreement of their own. Something should have been done earlier, he suggested. “With the 2013 agreement we’re losing $150,000 plus. It’s not a little money and I do understand about my colleagues singing the

March 22 is one of those marked days, World Water Day. I am glad water has its own day. Without water we

aquifer deep underground throughout most of the valley. Concerns about the aquifer first surfaced publicly in 2007 with the information that water levels in the aquifer around the Scout Island well fields had been dropping for many years. With no other easy water source available, it became evident that the integrity of the aquifer must be maintained for the future well being of the city. At that stage the best options were to find and fix any leaks in the system and to encourage water conservation — it is known that Canadians and particularly Cariboo residents use far more water than most other world citizens. So the Water Wise program was initiated by the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society in partnership with the City of Williams Lake and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. This is a communitywide education program, focused on water conservation as well as water protection. There is a strong school-based component that includes class sessions and field trips, both to see the

city water and sewage systems, as well as trips focused around watershed health. Radio ads and community events inform the public of the need to preserve and protect our water supply. And it has worked. Residents started to respond almost immediately and water consumption has been dropping since 2006. Even accounting for factors such as weather and population level fluctuations, the drop is still dramatic, reflecting the cumulative efforts from individuals, families and businesses. So what does all this mean for the health of the aquifer? Currently, monitoring wells show the aquifer water level now appears to be stable. Recharge

into the aquifer is thought to be just about equal to what is drawn out. So while we all still have to be very careful with this resource, it is worth a round of applause to the whole community for their continuing conservation

efforts this World Water Day. Two hundred and eighty two more little calendar squares to go. For more information on Water Wise or Waste Wise, contact CCCS at sustain@ccconserv.org or visit the website at www.cconserv.org.

Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett presented the medal to Cook Tuesday at city hall chambers, advising Cook had been nominated for the award by her peers at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. “The medal is being given to you to honour the contribution you have made to your city and all of Canada,” Barnett said to Cook. “Your peers in local government across the country admire your accomplishments as a community leader and congratu-

late you on earning this prestigious award.” Barnett said the FCM commended Cook’s efforts to make Williams Lake a safer place to live, and the important role that municipalities and their elected leaders play in ensuring prosperity and a high quality of life. “We appreciate your municipality’s association with FCM and its support of strong communities and good government in partnership with other provincial leaders, federal and territorial governments, your municipality is helping build a prosperous future for your community and all Canadians,” Barnett read from a statement. During the celebrations 60,000 Canadians have and will receive the medals.

Bantam Timberwolves denied funding request Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A request from the Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves for funding of $1,500 has been turned down by city council. In a letter dated March 5, the team wrote a letter requesting money to help with team travel costs of $15,000 to attend the provincials in Kelowna. Team manager Michelle Palmer said when the team hosted an eight-team tournament on Feb. 15 to 17, it lost about $3,000 because of the city union worker strike. “We had to reim-

burse four teams $275 each for a total of $1,100 because they did not get the four ice times they were promised,” Palmer noted, adding the raffle draws were also cut off early due to the complex being closed. At Tuesday’s council meeting Coun. Ivan Bonnel said council does not have the ability to grant funds except through its grantin-aid program and that takes place in the fall. “And those grants have to be for something that’s going to take place, not something that has already happened,” he said. Mayor Kerry Cook

said it was unfortunate timing that the team had lost money because of the strike. “We wish them the best, but this was one of many teams that were inconvenienced and lost out during the job action. It’s a tough decision.” Under the contract terms and conditions, the city is not liable to the licensee if the licensee is denied access to the facility due to a labour dispute, mechanical failure or other cause. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor added if the city were to help one group it would be “opening a can of worms.”

O

n Tuesday night, council had the opportunity and the freedom to speak about the fire protection agreement, now that the lawsuit against the city has been dropped. As a strong supporter of the original five-year agreement based on total assessment, I am not willing to risk losing the revenue and the partnership with the CRD. This is too big an item not to, and the From the stakes are high. Mayor’s CounChair cil’s fiKerry Cook nance committee has been tasked with finding options to make up the $150,000 loss in revenue from fire protection this year. Should the city no longer provide the service in 2014, it will cost the city approximately $720,000 in lost revenue. We need to focus on moving forward. Council unanimously passed a resolution to send a letter to the CRD to let them know we still want to provide the service to rural fringe residents, and to set up a meeting to discuss fire protection services beyond this year. The city has a highly trained professional fire department capable of providing top-notch fire protection service. I believe any agreement should reflect the cost of providing that service. We don’t want to give it away, but we do want to work with the CRD to find a fair price. A big congratulations to our Stampeders hockey team on winning the Coy Cup for the second time in five years. Good luck to our Bantam and Midget rep Timberwolves competing at provincials in Kelowna. We have incredible athletes and teams here who do the whole community proud.

Our Viewpoint

More interest this time There is little doubt tempers have flared and comments have been testy at times between those for or against the proposed New Prosperity Gold-Copper Project in the Chilcotin. Undoubtedly, there has been frustration — some silent and some spoken — in both camps during the lead up to the impending federal panel hearings. The proponents have said they have made significant changes to the original Prosperity proposal, which passed the provincial environmental assessment but was shot down in Ottawa. The opponents have said there have been few changes in the new project proposal and they are digging their heels in even deeper. The difference between this current struggle for public support for their respective positions on New Prosperity and the last go-around is significant. Both camps are pouring information, statistics and projections, and they’re debating the economic and social values of the Taseko Mines Ltd. proposal. Those opposed to the mine won the public-relations battle during the last round — not only at home, but also in Ottawa and internationally. This time around, however, the pro camp has gained a foothold in the public’s

mindset. Folks who did not choose sides the last time around are looking more carefully at the project and are starting to form an opinion. The reason for this attitude adjustment is purely economics. The forest industry in the Cariboo-Chilcotin has been devastated by the pine beetle, and folks who make their living from forests are worried about the future of their livelihoods. Communities, which have relied on the tax dollars from the mills and the spending of those employed by the industry, are also very worried. Many people are looking at the high-paying jobs the mining industry provides as part of the community sustainability solution. This is why last Saturday’s New Prosperity Mine open house at the community hall was so important. It provided a venue for those who wanted to hear and learn about both the pros and cons of the mining project. It gave people an opportunity to make up their own minds about what’s positive or negative about the proposal, and it allowed them to ask questions and get answers. - Ken Alexander/100 Mile Free Press

here was a time when cabinet ministers resigned their positions if questions were raised about their conduct that had a whiff of truth to them. It’s become clear over the last few months that the moral obligation to do the right thing in B.C. is extinct. It’s always been standard practice for the opposition to try to get a minister to resign, and most attempts have rightly failed. But when enough evidence builds, MLA cabinet ministers Musings should Bob Simpson s t e p aside until the issue is fully investigated. To be fair, the multiculturalism minister resigned before John Dyble found that he had breached the Standards of Conduct. But, it’s not unreasonable to surmise that the premier herself was fully informed, engaged, and involved in the development of election-oriented activities that crossed the line between party politics and the public service. It’s willful blindness to believe otherwise. Questions also abound about senior cabinet ministers. We’ve seen changes to liquor tax laws designed to favour political party donors; attempts to interfere in casino approval decisions; ministerial promises about government contracts; the inappropriate use of direct awards; and ministers participating in shady deals with foreign investors. Any one of these situations should have been sufficient for the minister responsible to step aside, but when Premier Clark’s office is blurring the lines between party politics and the public service, it’s hard for her to demand a higher standard of moral behaviour from her cabinet. We have a Conflict of Interest Commissioner in B.C., who recently recommended adding “an ethics and integrity dimension” to the Members’ Conflict of Interest Act, but acting ethically as a politician means more than keeping your private affairs separate from your duties. It means acting with integrity and honesty at all times, and we haven’t seen that this session. We need an oversight commissioner with teeth, but what we really need are politicians who feel obligated to do the right thing. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

More Viewpoints

More patience required Editor: While I understand the frustration expressed by the proponents of the Williams Lake Community Forest (WLCF), a little more patience is required to ensure that the “community” is truly represented in the management decisions impacting this new areabased tenure. The largest portion of the land base proposed to be included in the WLCF is located well away from the City of Williams Lake’s municipal boundaries. But, the communities of Big Lake, Miocene and Horsefly all surround and are within the largest of the two blocks proposed to make up the WLCF. These communities do not get to vote for the Williams

Lake Mayor and Council, as they are located in the CRD. While the “Big Lake Block” (which makes up 80 per cent of the proposed WLCF) is within the Williams Lake Indian Band’s (WLIB) traditional territory, the people living around that block, including a number of families that have been there for many generations, do not vote for the chief and council of the WLIB either. Hence, the root of the current impasse is that the people who actually live around the bulk of the proposed community forest don’t get a vote for either of the councils that make up the legal partnership of the WLCF. That’s why the residents of Big Lake, Miocene and Horsefly are asking

for representation on the management board of the proposed WLCF. Fortunately, the mayor and chief, along with some of their councillors, have agreed to meet directly, for the first time, with the residents of Big Lake, Miocene, Horsefly and 150 Mile House as soon as possible to listen directly to those communities’ concerns. My hope is that the proponents will approach this meeting with an open mind and a willingness to ensure these communities are truly represented in and will benefit from the proposed WL Community Forest.

Wealth now depends on marketing Editor: Impediments to getting truth? It seems every avenue by pro-fossil fuel propaganda and crisis capitalism are being used to convince Canadians they should not be a stone in the road to Canada’s mega-fossil fuel industry. Canada’s “wealth” now “depends” on marketing Canada’s fossil fuels globally? Never mind the GHG emissions dumped into the atmosphere as Canada’s fossil fuels are consumed globally. It doesn’t mean the destruction of the human species or the end of civilization! If Canada’s fossil fuels are burned elsewhere globally, it isn’t Canada’s concern. Damn GHG emissions!

tors think there will be considerable numbers of wealthy Canadians left after the Arctic, Antarctic, mountain glaciers, ice sheets melt. Don’t mind extreme weather, droughts, record high temperatures, fires, beetle kill, invasive species, loss of species, loss of food crops, loss of potable water, winter storms, summer hurricanes, typhoons, rising ocean levels, ocean acidification, destruction of habitat, displaced people and floods we are already experiencing now at 0.8C. Perhaps a billion out of eight will survive they believe. Canada is favourably positioned in this global disaster. The notion of seven billion human beings succumbing from irreversible inhuman made global warming seems surreal, easy to dismiss. Large numbers seem mean-

Will we disappear altogether as global temperature reaches 6C and 1,000 ppm of CO2 in this century? After 160,000 years of human existence, 10,000 years of human civilization, have we been on this planet too long? Will we lose it all in the next ten years?

Cattle Fodder Liz Twan Saturday) very likely felt like heading back inside; the same thought crossing the minds of the cowboys and ranchers who braved the same lousy outdoor conditions as they checked the calve’y-cows, the night-born calves, fed the herd and (possi-

bly) assisted in a birth or rescued a freezing cold calf. The most a calf enduring such a rude arrival can hope for is to have a good mother to lick it clean/dry — one with a good supply of milk (vital colostrums) for that all-important first-suck. Added bonuses would be dry bedding and shelter from the cold wind, but bedding (in the Cariboo) is rare for range-calving (too costly) and mama’s broad body will likely have to suffice for a windbreak. Some cows may require human help (quirk prevents natural birth) so the cowboy has to shuck

Hundreds participate in youth tourney Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer For the sixth consecutive year, the Central B.C. Aboriginal Youth Hockey Tournament will be a weekend to remember for hundreds of players, parents, spectators and coaches. Players spread across 13 teams — some from the region, others from around the province — competed in initiation, atom, pee wee, bantam and midget divisions at the tournament. It began last Friday and wrapped up Sunday with finals at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. “It was a very successful weekend of hockey,” said Sheila Kelalst Booth, president of the CBCAYHT. “It was a great turnout overall.” In the midget division, first place went to the Kamloops Young Bucks. Second and third place, respectively, went to Williams Lake Team 1 and Williams Lake Team 2. For bantams, the Chase Warriors took the gold medal, while T’del Raiders finished second, the Stone Road Warriors nabbed third and the Prince George Bantams took fourth. The pee wee division saw the CC Jr. Raiders, coached by Bruce

Baptiste, take first, while the Williams Lake Colts rode to second, and the Quelmuc Assassins placed third. The atom division went to the Stone Atoms, coached by Darnell Myers. In the initiation division, beating out second-place Williams Lake Lil Tomahawks and third-place Williams Lake Lil Nations, were the Prince George Coyotes. Kelalst Booth said each team was awarded a prize — along with first-place sweatshirts with this year’s logo contest winner for winning teams — based around the tournament’s anti-bullying theme. First, second and third-place teams were awarded trophies and medals. “Prizes were pink skate laces and pink water bottles with the logo contest winner’s logo,” she said. “Each logo had to incorporate an eagle, a raven and a bear into the design. We had up to 50 entries, and the committee reviewed all logos and was thankful for the number of entries. Saturday’s opening ceremony, which featured players all marching out onto the ice together, was hosted by Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Ann Louie, along with

Hand drummers Deidre Alphonse, Julianna Johnson, Irene Johnson, Henrey Johnson and Irvin Johnson helped greet the players as they came onto the ice, while flag bearers Wilfred Robbins, Fred Johnson and Rhonda Johnson led players out. “Special thanks to all the coaches and families that brought their teams,” Kelalst Booth said. “Thank you to several volunteers that stood up this weekend volunteering with

score keeping, time keeping, security, fire aid and the raffle table. “It was a great pleasure hosting such a fantastic tournament — it’s truly a passion of mine. Seeing the smiling faces young and old, it was a fantastic, energetic and fun-filled weekend for sure.” Kelalst Booth said the CBCAYHT is welcoming new directors and volunteers for next year’s tournament.

First body building competition for local resident LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune Williams Lake resident Christina Roderus is on her way to the NPC Vancouver USA Natural Bodybuilding and Physique Championships and Tanji Johnson Fitness, Figure and Bikini Classic on March 30. She said that this is her first time “doing anything like this,” adding that she’s both excited and nervous. Competitors in the championships are mainly from the U.S., but anyone in North America or international can enter the qualifying event, which will be held in Vancouver, WA. “This is something I’ve thought about doing for a while, but never had the courage until last year, so I thought I’d try my best and give it a shot,” she explained. “Win or lose, I just wanted to see if I could do it and will hopefully continue on with competitions.” Her trainer is Kim Colgate at Re4rm Fitness.

harmful to your body. Kim and I decided if I was going to do this, I was going to do it naturally with as few supplements as possible, and avoid ‘stacking,’” she continued. She also noted that the health benefits of her regime are incredible. “I’ve cut out gluten, sugar, dairy, alcohol and processed foods. Once a week, though, I allow myself to have one meal where I can eat whatever I want,” she said. “Obviously, when you are cutting out so much, you need to supplement certain things your body requires. I make sure I take my multivitamins, all other vitamins, omega-3s and glutamine on a daily basis. I’ve had quite a bit of help from Bruce at Sta-Well Health, in helping me decide what my body needs and natural ways of burning fat with things like cayenne pepper, green tea and dieting.” Christina said that she has noticed huge changes in her body:

the way she looks and the way she feels. “I make sure I get my workouts in every single day. I don’t find time to work out? I make time. I look at it like brushing your teeth,” she added. “You have to do it every day and it just becomes routine. “I honestly believe if I can do this, anybody can. It just requires discipline and organization. I meal-plan every Sunday and cook my food in bulk to last for the next three days.” She said that her trainer has encouraged her and helped her in more ways than she ever thought possible. “My husband has also been an incredibly huge support and encourages and motivates me every single day,” she concluded. “When I’m having a down day or feel like giving up, he’s always there with positive insight to cheer me up.” For more information about Re4rm Fitness phone 250-3054466.

Fun shoot attracts a crowd The Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association hosted a fun target shooting competition March 9 at the Williams Lake Rod and Gun Club. “This event was a first time event co-ordinated to generate a fun and competitive atmosphere with youth in target shooting and was well attended,” said WLSA president Terry Chupa. Events included .22 lucky numbers, .22 bull’s eye target and .22

silhouettes. At long range competitors used hunting rifles to test their prowess at 100 metres with gopher targets and a best group target. They then moved over to a 200 metre metal gong target, made by one of the competitors, Matt Armes. The top overall scored went to Cassidy Chupa, while best group at long range was Armes, Cassidy and Olund Mork. The top gopher shot

was Cassidy, while Morgyn Black picked up second. The top metal silhouette shooter was Zach Herrick, while Mork sniped the top lucky target award. In bull’s eye .22, Armes took the win. Match director was Caroline Chupa, with assistance from Black, Tim Lessard, Terry and WLSA range safety officers. “We’d like to extend a very warm thank you

to all of our donors for making generous contributions toward the prizes awarded to the competitors and the many volunteers that showed up to assist in the events and lunch,” Terry said. “The success of this event and positive feedback will entertain the notion of its reoccurrence.” For future youth events check the WLSA’s website at www. williamslakesportsmen. ca.

Grey Fox, Pioneer win city hockey titles It’s been an exciting month for Williams Lake Recreational Hockey League teams who, since the beginning of March, have been battling it out in playoff matchups for supremacy. The teams, split up into an ‘A’ division and a ‘B’ division, played a bracket-style tournament for playoffs in each division to determine a winner. On the ‘B’ side players and spectators were treated to one of the most exciting games of the season March 12, as Pioneer overcame Buffalo Creek, 2-1, to win the championship. In the ‘A’ final it was Grey Fox downing the

Canucks, 6-3, to claim the title. Grey Fox’s win was the first time they’d beaten the Canucks all year, adding to the significance of the win. Grey Fox player Steve O’Hara said it was a competitive final that could have gone either way. “It was a hard, tough-fought game with many penalties, a few five on threes and lots of power plays,” O’Hara said. “This really tested each club’s special teams.” He added the penalties were the result of solid refereeing, which kept the game in check. “The goaltending was great for each

side, and there was a great atmosphere in the building with lots of fans cheering,” he said. “It was a fast-paced game from start to finish.” Coming into the game Grey Fox were ranked second through the regular season, while the Canucks had snatched up first place with a 13-4-3 record. In the ‘A’ division bronze-medal match it was Stone downing Duff’s, 7-0, to win. The ‘B’ division bronze-medal game saw Sight & Sound edge the Firemen, 5-3. All games were played at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

WLMHA volunteer could win $100,000 for association A Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association volunteer is one of 100 finalists in the nationwide Kraft Hockey Goes On contest. Karen Chabot found out Tuesday she’d been selected as one of the finalists with a chance to win either a $100,000 prize or one of 20 $20,000 prizes. If she wins all of the money will go directly to the WLMHA. “As exciting as this was for me to be nominated, this is now about the kids of WLMHA and all of us banding together to vote this coming weekend, March

23-24 to gather enough votes to grab one of these great prizes,” she said. Winners will be chosen via a voting process, which begins Saturday at 6 a.m.

Simply log on to www.krafthockeygoeson.ca/en/nominate/ profile/962/ on Saturday morning to vote for Chabot. Voting is scheduled to continue until Sunday.

Indoor soccer teams crowned city champions The Williams Lake Men’s and Ladies Soccer Leagues finished up their indoor futsal seasons recently with playoffs. On the ladies’ side the early game saw the first of two semifinals on the competitive side as the Hattricks took on Caribou Ski. The Hattricks managed to sneak off a 4-2 win against the ladies from Caribou Ski in a closely matched contest. The second competitive semifinal saw 150 Mile face off against Windsor. The second-seeded 150 Mile was overtaken by the third-seeded Windsor to lose 5-3. On the recreation side the Dog Creek Strikers and Thiessen Dental, winners from the previous weekend’s semis, faced off in the final. The game was incredibly close with both teams battling back and forth, but after regulation time the teams were tied. It took two, fiveminutes halves of over-

Dr. Roberts shares a wealth of historical data Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Dr. John Roberts figures he has enough historical material if one of his grandchildren decides to complete a PhD on Cariboo history. A retired veterinarian, Roberts has also written books on local history, and through the years amassed enough history and stories of the past to fill a few bookshelves. Last spring the Cariboo Chilcotin Genealogy Group began scanning, digitizing and indexing Roberts’ collection and recently presented him with a copy of the index they have created. “Dr. Roberts’s collection of history is filled with old stories from the pioneer days, how they got here, how the roads were built, everything,” Phyllis Galloway of the CCGP said. “These files and binders are the only copy so we wanted to preserve them and make sure that other people can see them.” Indexes are being produced for each binder and book, she explained. “We wanted John to see how we’re doing it and what we’re doing,” Galloway said before presenting Roberts with a gift during a gathering at the Family History Centre located at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Edwards Street. Roberts and his wife Anna Roberts arrived in B.C. in 1958 and discovered there was no veterinary surgeon north of Kamloops.

Scenes from Studio Theatre’s production of the musical Little Women included (top left) Cody Slin (John Brooke) and Mark Kroeker (Laurie) duke it out in the imagination of Josephine March. Jay Goddard, as Professor Bhear (centre) attempts to craft a letter to Josephine. Don Fornwald as Mr. Lawrence (right) starts out as a cranky neighbour but soon endears himself to the entire March family. Little Women finished a delightful three week run over the weekend.

Arts grants awarded in the Cariboo The BC Arts Council (BCAC) has approved grants to support arts and culture in the Cariboo. Three arts councils received more than $15,000 from the BC Arts Council. The Williams Lake Community Arts Council receives $6,305; the 100 Mile and District Arts Council receives $3,470; and the Central Interior Regional Arts Council receives $6,000. Across the province, artists and cultural organizations will share $8.36 million in the latest round of BCAC grants. The funding comes from $16.8 mil-

lion provided by the B.C. government to the BCAC for fiscal year 2012-13. Local museums, art galleries, and community arts councils throughout B.C. received grants that will help support their annual operations. Approved funding also includes grants for filmmakers, painters, musicians, writers, media, and theatre artists. As the B.C. government’s key funding and development agency for the arts, the council enlists input from British Columbia’s arts community to evaluate grant applications

through an independent peer review process. Established in 1995, the BC Arts Council consults with the arts and culture community to develop policies, programs and strategic priorities for the sector. “Arts councils help promote artistic works in our communities and make them a more enjoyable place to live. I’m glad to see the BC Arts Council providing funding for our arts councils here in the Cariboo, helping them promote artistic expression,” said CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett in the recent grant announcement.

looking for help. In early 1975, with Hewett’s hard work, the centre moved to a 2,000 square foot space in the Merrill and Wagner office then located on Mackenzie Avenue. The dilemma, however, was that BC Railway was on one side of the building. The playground was also too small so to play outside the children had to cross busy Mackenzie Avenue to the nearest school playground. Because of these circumstances, Onofrechuk says Hewett hoped and planned to move into a larger location on Second Avenue that could provide a reception area, offices for staff, a preschool, activity hall, physiotherapy and speech therapy, a staff room, and a safe outdoor play area. The cost of the new centre was estimated at $250,000. Of that total, the community had to provide one

the local mental health association and others. “The Mental Health Association agreed that something needed to be done and joined Hewett to make it happen,” Onofrechuk said. In April of 1974, Hewett contacted Ann Marten, executive director of the Prince George Centre. As a result of that meeting the Williams Lake group found the Provincial Association for Cerebral Palsy and signed their charter on Sept. 20, 1974 to become an independent local group. Hewett served as the association’s first president. In March 1975 the society started operation in a room in the old skating rink, then on Third Avenue with three staff members serving six children. Most of the equipment and furnishings were donated by community organizations. More staff was added as more children arrived at the centre

services for their children. Within the first three years of operation the Child Development centre provided services to 100 children. It now annually provides services to more than one 1,000 children, Onofrechuk says. “For over four decades Aileen has been an inspiration to many people. We greatly admire her vision and determination. “It is my great privilege to present the Woman with Heart Award to the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre’s Honorary Life Member Aileen Hewett.” In her acceptance speech, Hewett said there was pressure early on to keep the centre strictly for children with disabilities but it was always her feeling that children with disabilities should not be separated from other children, which is why the CDC has always had integrated programs and pre-school. “Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to keep it going,” Hewett said.

third, approximately $80,000 and the remaining funds would be provided through provincial government grants. In 1977, with Hewett leading the way, the new Child Development Centre building campaign officially began. This is when the world’s largest pink piggy bank was built. The piggy bank stood six feet high and was located in front of Boitanio Mall. On May 19, 1979, after years of community support and donations, the Child Development Centre moved into its present location on Second Avenue. Hewett and then MLA Alex Fraser cut the ribbon to open the centre on Sept. 15, 1979. In 2003, in tribute of Hewett efforts, the CDC building was officially named the Aileen Hewett building.

Aileen Hewett, founder and honorary life member of the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre is this year’s recipient of the Woman of Heart Award, sponsored by the Women’s Contact Society. Society executive director Irene Willsie and CDC intake manager Coleen Onofrechuk presented the award to Hewett during the International Women’s Day dinner event held at Thompson Rivers University, March 8. “Tonight, I would like to acknowledge the commitment and dedication of a Williams Lake’s citizen, Aileen Hewett,” Onofrechuk said in reading out the story behind why Hewett was chosen for the award. For the past 40 years, Onofrechuk said Hewett has contributed endless time and effort to support Williams Lake children with special needs. It started when Hewett worked as a receptionist for paediatrician, Dr. Jan Riegl. In early 1973 Hewett was approached by parents of children with disabilities who were concerned about having to take their children to Prince George or Vancouver to receive therapy they needed to achieve basic life skills. Hewett started her quest for a local centre by talking with Dr. Riegl, who she knew had been connected with the Surrey Centre, Onofrechuk said. She also sought information and help from

Bella Coola Music Festival rebranded Photos submitted

Susan O’Neill Special to The Tribune Since 1998, Bella Coola and surrounding communities have enjoyed world class, multi-cultural, aboriginal, folk, rock, blues, gospel, bluegrass, and roots music. This summer, on July 20-21, the Discovery Coast Music Festival Society will bring another group of awardwinning musicians from across Canada, as well as local talent, to the valley under a new banner: The Bella Coola Music Festival! This new name will ensure that our increasing reputation for presenting gifted musicians in a hospitable environment will become more synonymous with our location. Our new artistic director, Caitlin Thompson, is hard at work with the full support of the board of directors, which includes two new members. Still following our formula, you can expect more of the same quality of diverse music, and family-friendly fun! We are pleased to announce our first acquisition for 2013: blues

The Steadies with bassist Earl Pereira will be among entertainers at this summer’s Bella Coola music festival.

Blues guitarist and singer/songwriter Derek Miller will be among the entertainers at this year’s Bella Coola music festival. guitarist and singer/ songwriter, Derek Miller. Miller is a journeyman Mohawk musician from the Six Nations of

the Grand River. He has toured with iconic Canadian vocalist Buffy Sainte-Marie, and garnered a Juno for both

his debut album, ‘Music Is the Medicine’ and his 2008 sophomore album, The Dirty Looks. His third album, Derek Miller with Double Trouble, uses vintage tones and aesthetics of 50’s rock and roll with a modern twist. He explains, “The album is my attempt to create the feeling I got from soul, blues and country records I have listened to: Hillbilly Soul with some Mohawk swagger.” Another band you’ll want to boogie with is The Steadies, brainchild of bassist Earl Pereira (a founding member of Wide Mouth Mason). Pereira was named

one of Canada’s top bass players by Canadian Music Magazine. The Steadies take the explosively popular Top 40 sound and mix it with rock-steady and reggae influences, creating what they’ve dubbed “island rock.” The Steadies were showcased at the 2010 Winter Olympics, and they have played with Grammy winners The Roots, The Wailers, Collective Soul, Arrested Development, K-OS, Bedouin Soundclash and more.

“They call the Cariboo home” Phillip Camille surprised on his 80th birthday Proof that turning 80 needn’t slow you down was amply illustrated by these two lively 80-yearolds Phillip Camille (left) and Hank Krynen (second from left) who easily kept pace with everyone (mainly, younger) who tried out the dance floor during Phillip’s 80th birthday party celebration. They danced almost every dance. Joining them here are Diann Reay (third from left), Darlene Louie of Dog Creek and William Johnson of Alkali Lake.

Liz Twan Special to The Tribune Respect and love were in abundance as the family of Phillip Camille gathered to celebrate his 80th birthday. The event was planned as a surprise, and amazingly (for a small community like Dog Creek) no one spilled the beans, (prematurely). In fact, right about the time that the celebration was due to begin (11 a.m. March 16) the guest of honour (Phillip Camille) was out walking with his dogs. He was spotted by several party-goers who had arrived a bit early and decided to drive further, down the valley, past the building where the party was to be held. When they saw Phillip they realized the surprise-factor was still holding. Phillip, however, was likely a little puzzled by the coincidence of seeing several old friends taking the same Saturday drive on the same Saturday in March. His children/grandchildren and other family had been planning for a while, and Phillip informed me, at the party, that in hindsight, “I realize now that my family has been doing a fair bit of whispering, some fibbing and even a bit of lying for a while now, but I never caught on (to the reason for it).” He said the surprise party also explained another odd occurrence, a free haircut that he couldn’t figure the reason for. “I went for a haircut last week and when I went to pay, they wouldn’t take my money,” Camille said. “They told me it was my 80th birthday present. I didn’t have a clue how they knew it was my birthday. Now, I know about the announcement. It

was in the Tribune.” The event began with some visiting, lots of guests catching up with acquaintances and family members not seen or visited with in a while. Then Phillip`s son Warren Camille announced that lunch was ready. Grace was said by his son Keray Camille and the feast began. There was turkey, ham, beef, game meat, salmon, vegetables, casseroles and salads of every type, enough food to feed many more than the 100plus guests that were in attendance. After everyone had eaten their fill, the group sang Happy Birthday to Phillip and he blew out his cake candles. Then the cake, which featured a cowboy photo of Phillip on horseback and his dog, read Happy 80th Birthday Xpe7e (grandfather), was cut and served with ice-cream by his grandchildren and great grandchildren. As the cake was being consumed, the musicians, Thomas Sampson (vocals/guitar) and Les Johnson (vocals/fiddle) of

Alkali Lake, along with their technician/sound man/helper, William Johnson, set up their equipment and began to play some dancing music. A little bit country, a little bit rock n`roll, the duo, are former members of the Nitehawks and Creeshu, and soon had people of all ages up and dancing. A great time was enjoyed by guests of all ages. Celebrating with him were friends and many former coworkers at the Circle S Ranch, some of whom became lifelong friends. Sitting with him at the head table were friends, Eric Archie, Hank Krynen, and Eric and Diann Reay. This group all made lasting friendships during their employment at various times on the Circle S where they spent many memorable days and years and had many adventures together. It was a wonderful day. Phillip never stopped smiling and the Camille family would like to thank all those who helped out and everyone who came to the celebration.

Cariboo cowboy Phillip Camille grins as he views the beautiful birthday cake (embellished with a photo of Phillip, on horseback with his dog) presented to him by his family at a surprise 80th birthday celebration held at Dog Creek from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday March 16, 2013.
