Ban on corporate union donations
VOL. 83. No. 25
GIBRALTAR ROOM HOSTS AN EVENING OF BLUE GRASS
A majority of British Columbians support a ban on corporate and union donations to B.C. provincial political parties, according to a public opinion survey commissioned by IntegrityBC. When asked: “Do you believe that corporations and unions should be prohibited from donating money to B.C.’s provincial political parties?,” almost two to one were in favour (59 per cent Yes, 31 per cent No, 10 per cent undecided). IntegrityBC has been campaigning to ban corporate, union and out-of-province donations to B.C.’s political parties since 2011. The organization is also calling for a cap on personal donations and a Citizen’s Assembly to review the B.C. Election Act and Local Government Act and make recommendations on other electoral reforms.

Premier Clark tours West Fraser sawmill Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake had visits from the Liberal government last week including MLAs Donna Barnett, Bill Bennett, Jim Rustad and Premier Christy Clark. On Friday Clark used West Fraser sawmill and a tour of its new planer, now under construction, as a backdrop to tout the government’s Jobs Plan, while Bennett, the minster of community, sport and cultural development, was the guest speaker at a special Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce luncheon Thursday. “I was here to open the Stampede last year and what a great experience that was,” Clark said, describing the Cariboo as the “heart of the province” and a place to “roll up your sleeves and get it done.” She congratulated West Fraser on its $25 million investment in the new planer. “It’s impressive how young the workforce is at West Fraser and speaks to what is a sunrise, not sun-

One of the and getting the bureaucracy out of things I’ve learned over the last year
and a half is that creating jobs isn’t something that happens over night, but part of a long-term plan.” She said 47,000 net new jobs have been created, the economy is one of the strongest in Canada, and the unemployment rate continues to go down. “Companies from around the world are currently investing in $80 billion worth of projects, including the $25 million investment we see happening next door to us.” The forest industry is an example of the resiliency of B.C. “It’s seen some ups and downs and over the last five years hasn’t been great, but we’re starting to see the prices go up and we’ve worked hard to diversify our economy in the meantime. As a result, people in the forest industry continue to work through very difficult times.” West Fraser, she said, is an example of a company making further investment to continue to grow the industry.

Bennett congratulates West Fraser Continued From Page A1 “When we went to China 10 years ago, people laughed at us. The opposition laughed at us and said we’ll never be able to diversify B.C.’s market,” Clark said. “Well they were wrong. Because we went over to China to tell our story about wood and they liked it. We’ve seen our softwood lumber exports to China go up by 1,500 per cent in the last 10 years.” Exports in 2012, to-
talled more than $10 billion, a 33 per cent increase from 2009. Growth is also seen in energy production. In biomass there are about 1,600 megawatts of biomass electricity installed in the province, Clark said. “It’s enough to power 1.2 million homes. The appetite for biomass in India and China is inexhaustible.” Bennett congratulated West Fraser and said its new investment means the company has confidence in the industry.

Break-in at Potato House results in fortification makeover Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Volunteers have been busy fortifying the Potato House after discovering last week it had been broken into. Director Mary Forbes was giving a tour to CBC Radio on Friday when she noticed a back window had been broken. “We’re concerned about the person who broke in. They were in the basement and could have been exposed to the Hantavirus. There are rodent droppings down there. Only our directors go down there and we always wear masks.” Forbes also discovered the lids off some old canned goods that were in the basement. There is asbestos in the house too, although it’s not a threat unless it’s disturbed. There is nothing valuable stored at the
house, but when Forbes went upstairs she discovered someone had “ransacked” an old dresser in the bedroom. “They broke the bottom off and went through all the papers that were stored in the dresser.” Forbes hesitated contacting the media but decided she wanted to try and alert the intruder to go to get tested for the virus. “I also want to encourage the community to keep its eyes and ears out whenever we’re not around,” she said. Up until the breakin, Forbes had noticed attempts by someone to break in. She’d fixed screens a few times and saw footprints in the snow. But no one had gained entry until then. “We’ve been really lucky in the last two years since we purchased the house. There

have been no break-ins or damage,” Forbes said. “I am surprised by the motivation and very disappointed.” It will be harder to gain entry now because the locks have all been
changed and each room now has a lock. New screens have been put in place and in a few weeks there will be a part-time staff person working there running a new community com-
posting project. “The staff person will be working with the community, and there will be new interpretive signage, and collection boxes for compost along the
back fence,” Forbes explained. Originally built in the 1930s, the house was famous for its garden and plentiful potatoes, hence it was nicknamed the Potato
House. It was purchased in 2011 to be developed into a community centre with gardens, with hopes to eventually serve as a community hall.
TNG land claims case may hamper Shuswap treaty process Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The Northern Secwepemc te Qelmucw (“NStQ”) Leadership Council has filed for party status in the Tsilhqot’in National Government’s court action “Charleyboy v. the Queen or the Charleyboy writ.” Filed in 2003, the TNG aboriginal title claim covers a tract of land the NStQ say overlaps more than 75 per cent of NStQ established traditional territory. “The Charleyboy writ goes from the west side of the Fraser River all the way down past Clinton, toward and past Clearwater, takes in all of the Dog Creek, Ca-
noe Creek area, Soda Creek, the Williams Lake Indian Band, Canim Lake Band, all of Cache Creek, Bonaparte and all the Secwepemc communities all the way down,” Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Anne Louie told the Tribune. “It goes almost to the Kootenays. It’s a ridiculous claim.” Louie said the NStQ territorial claim is based on detailed historical analysis of the territory actually used, occupied, and controlled by the Northern Secwepemc from time immemorial up to and including the first contact with Alexander Mackenzie in 1793 and the assertion of British sovereignty in 1846. Legal action has been
pursued regretfully, Louie said, but insisted it’s the only way to get things moving along. “We have had several meetings with our chiefs and chiefs from the TNG. At one meeting in early 2012, the TNG chiefs asked if they could take the information back to their people.” At a subsequent meeting, the TNG chiefs said they had to obtain a mandate from their people. “We questioned that because as elected chiefs we are given the mandate to work on behalf of our communities,” Louie said. “So we granted them two more months. They responded after two months with a letter
stating they were not given the mandate to withdraw or negotiate their boundaries.” Chief Joe Alphonse participated in the meetings in his capacity as chair of the TNG and chief of Tl’etinqox’tin (Anaham). He told the Tribune the TNG chiefs do have to obtain a mandate from the members of their communities to make decisions. “We want to have a ceremony in our communities because when you’re dealing with overlap issues you’re dealing with a lot of issues around healing,” Alphonse said. First Nations people often talk about healing from residential school issues, but historically
there were tribal warfares that happened between nations. “Obviously there’s been no healing because there’s not trust between the nations. We have to start to resolve those issues in an acceptable way,” Alphonse said, adding the TNG tried to accommodate NStQ. Nations also have different approaches, he suggested. “We as Tsilhqot’in look at the boundaries in a different way than NStQ,” he said. “I think there was a lack of willingness from them to move their boundary line.” He argued the TNG made “substantial” movement of the TNG boundary, moving it back.
“Our boundary on the map covers an extensive area, but we as Tsilqot’in look at it in a different way. There are many different types of overlaps you can have.” Hunting, fishing, areas for ceremony, and economic are all areas that can overlap, he said. “I think they look at one boundary to cover all things and we don’t.” Chief Anne Louie argued the Charleyboy writ is “a huge thing” because the NStQ are in treaty negotiations and the TNG are not. “The TNG signed a strategic engagement with the provincial government and they benefit from all resources under that agreement.” Litigation is not the
preferred way to resolve things, especially with a neighbouring First Nation group, Louie suggested, but insisted the NStQ have tried, patiently and persistently, to find a solution to the matter through discussion and negotiation and those efforts have been rebuffed. “As a result of the Charleyboy action NStQ’s interests have been, and continue to be, compromised. We must now proceed aggressively to seek a resolution in the court. The TNG is doing itself no favour by maintaining a position that has absolutely no basis in fact or law. See ALPHONSE Page A3

Students admit to mall graffiti spree Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Two females have admitted to helping vandalize the Boitanio Mall parkade with graffiti last Wednesday evening and will
repaint the walls as a result, mall manager Jeanette Tuerlings said Monday. “Through information on Facebook the girls were made aware the RCMP were trying to find out who had
done the damage and they came forward.” When operations manager Roger Edwards arrived at work Thursday morning at 6:30 a.m., he discovered a table with empty alcohol cans and bot-
tles in the middle of the parkade, some empty rubber spray paint containers on the floor and a “ton” of graffiti. Edwards has worked at the mall for 31 years, and said the entire parkade was repainted
last summer. He and other staff members were busy Thursday morning reviewing video surveillance footage to determine the vehicles that had entered the parkade Wednesday evening.
Alphonse calls Charleyboy case ‘irrelevant’ Continued From Page A3 “In 2003 when treaty negotiations started, everyone involved or not involved filed a protective writ so that if anything ever happened they could go back to court.” Everyone had maps they claimed their territory on, and then chief Chief Ervin Charleyboy submitted the TNG’s. Louie said the two groups have almost identical statements of intent. “Ours go to the Far-
well Canyon area; so do theirs,” she said. “Our people have always gone out and fished in that area. At the confluence where the Fraser and Chilcotin Rivers meet that was actual Shuswap bands on the west side of the river.” When the TNG attended a delegation at city hall in December they phoned Louie, asking her to attend the meeting to give the official welcome, a signal they recognize that it’s traditional NStQ territory, Louie said. Alphonse said the TNG are not actively
involved with the Charleyboy case right now and described it as somewhat “irrelevant.” “We’ve put a lot of effort into resolving this issue and it’s unfortunate NStQ has taken this step, but unit we actually see the legal document, we can’t really comment further,” he said, adding the NStQ leadership has to do what it feels is necessary. “We don’t criticize them for that, but don’t criticize us for trying to protect our interests as well.” Alphonse said it’s

CRD plans fire protection feasibility study Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The Cariboo Regional District will continue to pursue an agreement with the city on fringe fire protection past the one-year agreement in place until Dec. 31, but it will also do a feasibility study regarding developing its own fire service for the area. “We need to do due diligence and take the steps to ensure we have something in place if we’re not successful in reaching an agreement,” CAO Janis Bell said during a public meeting at the Gibraltar Room Friday. Earlier that day the CRD board approved $90,000 for the feasibility study, with all directors voting in favour of the funding except for the city’s representative Coun. Sue Zacharias. “We are commencing the steps to establish a CRD fringe area fire department. That $90,000 comes from the feasibility fund and will allow us to start working on the steps to start our own service,” Bell said. She explained that moving forward with the feasibility study does not mean the two parties cannot come to an agreement for the city to continue to provide fire protection. “That door is open
and is not going to be closed in the immediate future,” she said. “We are cognizant of the fact that council passed a resolution earlier this week to try and arrange another meeting.” So far 42 residents have indicated they’d be willing to serve as volunteer fire-fighters and the CRD is soliciting for more people to step forward. The CRD is in discussions with a professional trainer to talk about opportunities to begin training. Staff are trying to secure a site and appropriate apparatus for training, and are nearing finalizing those arrangements. Bell also said if the agreement with the city does not proceed then the CRD will consider reconfiguring the boundaries. “The more people that can get the service is a benefit for them because it gives us a larger tax base to fund operations and population base to draw from.” Estimated costs for running the fire service would be $100 per $100,000 of assessment. Among the questions asked by the public, one person wanted to know how much the city was willing to offer the service for, but Bell said the CRD did not have a definitive
figure. Under the provincial figure the city had received an average of $720,000 from three existing agreements.
“We agreed to use total assessment formula as the basis and the $129 per $100,000 falls under that. That would have been a reduction

f city councillors like the new place brand and logo that will be presented to them tonight at Committee of the Whole, we could find ourselves living in “The Republic of Williams Lake.” That’s the proposed new brand. Council probably will like it because it has had consultants, councillors, staff and a committee of local residents working on this “pursuit of community passion” for months. They reviewed “previous positive brand prescriptions” and pre-tested their findings. The new brand reflects “a positive position, promise, and personality to projFrench ect to Connection people Diana French both inside and outside the community, and will “attract and retain investment and skilled labour” to the city. Tonight’s presentation includes pages of pictures and prose (sorry, I got caught up in the proliferation of “Ps”) that lists the city’s qualities and weaknesses. Cowboy heritage is listed under both. Qualities include “B.C.’s most pro-business city hall.“ That one is a surprise to me. Along with our reputation for being unsafe and having a lack of services, culture and infrastructure, the “logging/ mill town stigma” is considered a weakness. I didn’t know there was a stigma attached to the forest industry. Without really saying it, the presentation infers there is a ranching/ rodeo stigma too. Pictures include “Saddle up” (mountain biker), “Riding the range” (snowmobiler) and “Slinging some bull” (bull rider). The Republic of Williams Lake’s new logo would be a blue shield with Williams Lake in big letters, British Columbia in smaller letters between the two words. Someone suggested it looks like it belongs on the back pocket of a pair of jeans. Anyone interested can find the brand presentation at https://williamslake.civicweb.net/Documents/ DocumentList.aspx?ID=53208. When I first heard the city was planning to dump the ranching/ rodeo theme, I asked five former mayors for comment. None were impressed. I will give you their comments next week. As for me, I think council is trying to fix something that isn’t broken. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune.

Fight fat before WiFi in B.C. schools Calm heads prevailed at the BC Teachers’ Federation annual general meeting this past week with the abandonment of motions calling on boards of education to stop installing wireless networks in schools. The majority of educators at the annual general meeting — and in Twitter discussion forums later on — appear to agree that the benefits of wireless technology in school for online learning far outweigh the risks. And while some may disagree with Health Canada’s assertion that there is no evidence linking lowlevel exposure to radio frequency energy from WiFi equipment to cancer, they are free to take their concerns directly to school boards. Indeed, some have suggested districts provide a

wireless free school for parents who wish to make that choice for their children. But they should do so with the knowledge that WiFi signals are similar to emissions from cell phones, digital TVs and other digital wireless technologies, including baby monitors, and thus difficult to control. A more obvious risk to children’s health is obesity, which has been directly related to diabetes and other health risks, and could be an offshoot of children spending more time on games and other entertainment connected through WiFi. What do you think? Are you concerned, for health reasons, about the proliferation of wireless technology in schools? - Black Press

ast week, B.C.’s family law was modernized under the new Family Law Act. The Family Law Act replaces the Family Relations Act, which had been in place since 1979. Family life in our province has changed a lot since 1979, and the new law keeps pace with the changing times. The act puts children at the centre of separation proceedings, making the best interests of MLA the child Musings the only requireDonna Barnett m e n t w h e n making decisions about parenting arrangements. Under the new law, both parents will be guardians of the child after separation; terms like “custody” and “access” have been replaced with guardianship, parental responsibilities, and parenting time. The law promotes collaborative parenting, so that both parents share the responsibility of raising their child. The act also encourages families that are going through separation or divorce to settle disputes outside of the court system where it is appropriate, which usually means better outcomes. The new law encourages the use of dispute resolution options like mediation and parenting co-ordination. The new law also addresses what happens when common law couples, that is, couples who have been living together and perhaps even raising a family together but who are not married, break up. The new law guides the division of property for when this type of separation occurs, ensuring that both partners get a fair deal. Each person gets to keep what they brought into the relationship, as well as things like inheritances acquired while living together. Property or debt which the couple acquire while together are split between them when they separate. This is just a brief overview of some of the changes coming through the new act. There are far too many changes for me to explain them all, but in order to help everyone understand them, our government has added a family justice section to the JusticeBC website; you can find this at www.JusticeBC.ca, where you can learn more about the new law. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

The irony of politics in B.C. A one-way Editor: There was a time, not long ago, when I thought that Bill VanderZalm and Rafe Mair were as far to the right on the political spectrum as you could possibly get. During the anti-HST campaign, I had the opportunity of
listening to both, and subsequently read what they have had to say about the current state of affairs, both political and economical in B.C. ever since the faux-Liberal/Reform Party took the reins of power. I have since come to realize that I share many of the views both these former politicians
have expressed in public presentations and discussions I have attended. Maybe we need to re-examine exactly how far on the right wing of the political spectrum in B.C. the current faux-Liberal/Reform Party is really situated. B.C. has a child poverty rate of 14.3 per cent but also the most
unequal distribution of income among rich and poor families with children. The ratio of the average incomes of the richest 10 per cent compared to the poorest 10 per cent was the worst of any province at 13.8 to one. John Visentin Williams Lake

Fraser Road. The officer ignored my comment. After the officer explained the warning for the windshield his harassment started. He demanded we show our drivers’ licenses and car registration. This is when the officer walked around the car and realized the car did not have an “L” sign on it. He confronted my son about it, asking why there was no “L” sign on the car. My son replied that the road we came in on is very rough and it is not unusual for the learner’s sign to fall off (as we had learned
previously with my older sons). The officer returned to his car, ignoring my son’s explanation, and returned with two tickets — one warning him for a cracked windshield and the other a $105 ticket for “Failing to display an L sign.” I have heard from several parents that the police are cracking down, with no mercy. The fines are not about safety. Only about money. The officer provided us with a replacement L sign we placed on our car before leaving Williams Lake. On the way home we saw my son’s previous L sign laying on the side of the road.
We stopped, my son checked to see if the one the officer had provided him with was still in place, but it had fallen off so he placed the old L sign on the back of the car. When we got home, it too was gone. The police know those signs do not hold well, however, they don’t hesitate to blame our children for it and make them pay for it. It was my son’s first time driving and after driving only a few hundred metres in town, there were the police, bearing down on him like a hawk, for doing nothing wrong. Valentin Wallner Williams Lake
Let’s make sure measures are in place to prevent any mining accidents Editor: In recent issues of the Tribune I note that a couple of writers are expressing concerns about mine development. Writer Bill Lloyd with a series of articles as representative of the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society, the CCCS. The very interesting thing about Bill Lloyd as part of the CCCS, is that his father was one of the early 1940s to 60s prospectors that originally staked mining claims at Fish Lake leading to the current mining interest in Fish Lake. I am a firm believer that where any group has, or believe they have, evidence of some weakness
Letters aLways weLcome
or fault in the environmental processes regarding any proposed development, that it becomes a responsibility and a priority of that group to present such information to the developers of that project. The developer can then have their engineering department study that information, and if the information is valid, and there is an environmental hazard, the mining company can take the necessary steps to address the issues presented. Posting the concerns in the news media as a series of articles, seems to me, to have only one purpose, that purpose is to weaken and undermine genuine scientific and environmental
work, and is an attempt to make the mining company look like some sort of evil rogue in the community. I would compare that to gossiping about a neighbour, until the mining company has had a fair chance to study and evaluate these claims. Such claims as presented by the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society, in my opinion, at this point in time, are just baseless public airing of unfounded gossip. Writer Chris Hornby regurgitates old accidental mining spills. My gosh, how many times must we have our noses rubbed in the accidents of the past? Certainly these examples of
environmental spills did occur, however, it is our responsibility in our time, to move forward and demand that measures are in place to prevent a repeat of such accidents. Moving away from mining and environmental spills, regardless of all of man’s current best efforts we are still having environmental accidents on our highways, such as the recent serious semi unit accident at Wildwood. Regretfully accidents do happen, what is important here, let’s do all we can to insure every measure is in place to prevent them, and then as quickly as possible, deal with them.

carnival cruise Editor:
Wasting lives/time marketing Canada’s fossil-fuel reserves globally? A one-way Canadian “carnival” cruise? Are you on board this Canadian “dream?” Canada’s fossil-fuel cruise will sink. You have no choice to sail? Few politicians dare for effective climate action. NDP, Liberals, Conservatives vie for power and control. They want Canadians kept in dream cruise. This election, fossil-fuel producers do not want you concerned about global warming. They need Canada’s fossil-fuels consumed globally. Effective climate action means zero expansion of carbon polluting production. Eighty per cent of known fossil-fuel reserves must stay in the ground. Effective climate action based on science means no new pipelines, no expansion of tarsands, no fracking for unconventional oil or gas, no exploration, no new refineries, coal port expansion, new LNG plants, or a site “C” dam for energizing licensed LNG plants. Effective climate action may be political suicide, but perhaps not eco-cide. You don’t know how to plan and start a low-carbon economy before 2020? Start learning now. You have 100 per cent certainty, global warming is happening now and is being encouraged over-all. Time has run out to wait. Consider the future of your own community of loved ones, your soulmates, your wife, husband, parents, children, grandchildren, your friends, neighbours, your opposition. Shake this fossil-fuel dream now before 2015. Turn to your friends and loved ones for effective climate action beginning 2015. You don’t dare? You won’t believe in hokey science? Check your facts and check your own baggage before this next election. Global warming isn’t an election issue and expanding global marketing of Canadian fossil-fuels is. You still have now to learn to plan a lowcarbon economy and to learn to start effective climate action by 2015. For the friends among us, for the love between us, thank you. Herb Nakada Williams Lake

CRD encouraged by city’s willingness to meet Continued From Page A5 While some residents said building a duplicate fire service seems “crazy,” others suggested, negotiating one term past the existing one, and waiting it out until there’s a new city council elected to see if that makes a difference in reaching an agreement. CRD chair Al Richmond said it’s hard to predict what will happen politically, but said the CRD is trying to deal with the bill it received for more than $700,000 for fire protection after the new fire hall was built. “Our phones were ringing off the hook with you asking how come you were paying so much money so we tried to negotiate a new deal. We’ve come to an agreement for one year,” Richmond said. “I don’t know how many agreements we want to go forward with but as elected officials we need to get down to task and find a solution.” The CRD is encouraged by the city’s willingness to meet, but
also wants to pursue a plan because it doesn’t want to end up without an agreement and no plan in place, he added. “You do have to ask why there is such a huge disparity in costs of fire protection. “I’ve done budget comparisons with other fire departments with more full-time staff and more vehicles and the costs aren’t as high,” Richmond said. He questioned why the same funding formula used for the hospital, libraries, Deni House, or the recreation complex cannot be implemented. “It’s been suggested to the city, but at this time the city doesn’t feel it’s acceptable and has its reasons. We’re trying to find somewhere between the two. We believe the other services we mutually enjoy and are hoping to work around that.” Richmond said he agreed it’s “silly” to set up two fire halls, but at this point doesn’t know what else the CRD can do. Approximately 26 per cent of the calls to the Williams Lake
fire hall go to the rural fringe, and include attending motor vehicle accidents, Bell said. Others indicated a new fire hall is the way to go and asked where the CRD rural hall might be located. Bell said the CRD has identified a number of locations and it would have to be in relatively “close” proximity to the existing city fire hall to make sure nobody is left out. Another person suggested the CRD needs a long-term view because the rural fringe is growing compared to the city, while someone said it’s difficult because CRD taxpayers have no say over a cityrun facility. In response to a comment made by a resident at the meeting, that the city is not purchasing equipment to meet the needs of the rural fringe, the city told the Tribune it purchased a tanker that carries 2,500 gallons of water and when it was purchased, consideration was given for use in the fringe area. The CRD will hold a follow up meeting Thursday, April 25.

Big turnout for archers’ indoor shoot Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Trail Riders Arena was transformed into somewhat of a wildlife exhibit on the weekend as the Cariboo Archers hosted its annual Indoor 3D Shoot. Bears, moose, dinosaurs, snakes, elk, beavers and several other foam targets strategically placed throughout the barn provided the challenge as competitors took aim Saturday and Sunday accumulating points based on their accuracy throughout the weekend. In total, 65 archers attended the event from Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, Quesnel, Prince George and Kamloops. “[The indoor shoot] went well despite the chilly conditions in the Trail Riders’ Arena,” said Al Campsall, treasurer of the Cariboo Archers. An encouraging observation for the sport locally, he said, was 22 of the competitors were youngsters. “Many were in their first 3D shoot and I understand they loved it,” he said. Cole Skerry, 7, and sister Calleigh Skerry, 5, were two of the youth competing. Both have been learning the sport since they were one year olds. “I like having fun,” Cole said when asked what the best part about archery is. “And I’m getting better all the time.” Calleigh said she also likes having fun with archery. “I think I shot pretty good,” she said. Calleigh and Cole competed in the Pee Wee Compound division, where Cole picked up second place, and Calleigh won third. Taking first in the division was Ty Thurow. “I did pretty well this weekend,” Cole said. “I got an eight just now on the raptor, and a 10 on the bear.” In the youth Pee Wee Traditional category it was Konnor Iverson sniping first place, Kolbee Iverson winning second and Kaylee Iverson claiming third. Brayden Feeley, in the Pre-Cub Compound division, marched away with first place, while Nic Flinton won second and Tnesa Fitzpatrick claimed third. Also for youth shooters, in the Cub Compound division, Cameron Brockel shot to a second-place finish, while Jesse West claimed took third. For Women’s Recurve it was Sharon Allan in first, and Nikki

Elementary grapplers bring home hardware from Wrestlemania The Williams Lake Wrestling Club’s youngsters hit the mat in 100 Mile House early march for Wrestlemania — the 100 Mile House Wrestling Club’s annual kid tournament. “This is an elementary-only tournament,” said WLWC president and head coach Sonia Conrod. “We brought nine kids down to compete and all nine came back with medals.” Student coaches Braden Conrod and Haleigh Stubitch also travelled along with the team to help coach, while carded local officials Conlan Sprickerhoff and Kerry Normand provided the refereeing. “It was a great experience for everyone,” Sonia said. Kindergarten grap-
pler Trey Alphonse brought home a silver medal for the black ‘n’ blue. “He was a beast out there taking on bigger kids,” Sonia said. Alphonse’s Kindergarten classmate Gage Davis also fought his way to a silver-medal win, while Will Stratton picked up bronze medal for his efforts. Grade 2 wrestler Coda McLain won fourth in his division and picking up a participation medal, while brother Chevy McLain, grade 3, wrestled hard to nab a bronze medal in the division. Kalob Scaiano, in the Grade 2 division, grappled to the gold medal. In the Grade 5 class Nathan Preston picked up a bronze medal, while WLWC newcomer Tyleen Scaiano swept through her

bronze medal in his division. “All the kids were awesome,” Sonia said. “The WLWC really
pulled together as a team and our student coaches were amazing as well. “They love working
with the younger athletes. We’re excited to start a new season and hope to see many new faces on the mat next
season.” Coming up next for the WLWC is Smackdown, which will cap off the club’s season.

Bantam T-wolves drop heartbreaker at provs Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Bantam Rep Timberwolves came within a hair of reaching the semifinals at the B.C. Tier 2 Provincial Hockey Championships in Kelowna. The T-wolves, after opening their tournament with two wins and one tie, fell to Langley, 4-2, last Wednesday, eliminating them from the tournament. Williams Lake dug themselves a hole early, falling behind 3-0, before mountain a comeback to close the distance to 3-2 after goals from Colton Thomas and Will Paynton. Needing at least a tie to advance to the semifinal Williams Lake pulled netminder Griffen Outhouse for the extra man, but an empty-net goal late in the third from Langley put the contest on ice. Outhouse was outstanding between the pipes for Williams Lake, keeping the game close throughout. “It’s one of those things where it just seemed like it wasn’t meant to be,” said Twolves head coach
Steve Carpenter. “I couldn’t be more proud of the guys. They worked hard all year and it’s a phenomenal team.” In Williams Lake’s opening game they beat host Kelowna handily, 9-2, scoring early and often in the winning effort. Next, Williams Lake battled to a 5-2 victory over Trail. Chase Dubois potted a hat trick and, again, Outhouse was solid in net. The Timberwolves then skated to a 4-4 tie Tuesday against Cranbrook to reach the quarterfinal. Williams Lake battled back from an early 3-0 deficit after allowing two power play goals and one penalty shot, scoring the equalizer with less than 10 seconds left in the game. The tie, Carpenter said, was what ended up costing them a spot in the semifinal. “That game against Cranbrook we came out a bit flat, but in the second and third we totally dominated them,” he said. “Chase hit three posts, Brendan Lane had a breakaway and hit the butt end of the goalie’s stick after he’d
beat the goalie … any other time of the year I’d bet we win that game 10-4 — we had that many good, quality scoring chances.” Despite the tie, however, Williams Lake still had a chance to advance to Thursday’s semifinal if Kelowna could manage a win or a tie over Trail. “It was 1-1, Trail had pulled their goalie because they had to win, and Kelowna got a two on one but the player didn’t look up and notice the empty net and he instead dumped it in,” Carpenter said. “With less than a minute left Trail picked up the puck, went down, and scored with 35 seconds left to knock us out. “You see that and sometimes you just wonder if certain things are meant to be and certain things aren’t.” Juan de Fuca ended up the provincial champions after defeating Westside in the final. “Everybody was tight and competitive [in the tournament],” Carpenter said. “We were right there and it was just one of those unfortunate things. You don’t make excuses, it’s part of the game,

but we just seemed to have a bit of bad luck at the wrong time.” The lakecity squad finished at provincials
with two wins, one loss and one tie, and were 43-8-1 overall to cap off an impressive season.

COMMUNITY NOTEBOOK Wednesday, April 3 Theatre lighting workshop
LeRae Haynes photo
Grade 11 and 12 students from Williams Lake and 100 Mile House participated in a variety of hands-on scenarios as part of the RCMP Youth Academy that took place at Columneetza Secondary and Thompson Rivers University last week.
Students explore career in the RCMP LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune RCMP, the Williams Lake Fire Department, BC Ambulance and Search and Rescue converged on Columneetza Secondary School on Tuesday, evening, March 19 at approximately 6 p.m. to attend a scene that included a two-car pile up, an intoxicated, belligerent driver and a spine injury. The event took place during the second annual RCMP Youth Academy program sponsored by School District 27 and the RCMP. A total of 17 Grade 11 and 12 students from Williams Lake and 100 Mile House stayed at Columneetza last week to experience a condensed version of the training that RCMP recruits experience in their six-month training program in Regina, Sask. Last year was the first year for the program in Williams Lake and the majority of students were from out of district. This year all of the participants were from School District 27 Williams Lake and 100 Mile House areas, say organizers. Local RCMP officers along with volunteers from all facets of the emergency services and the justice system volunteered their time and expertise to conduct the training. The program involves instruction and lectures on law, police tactics, social skills, physical training, self-defense and a variety of other topics. Students were also involved in role playing scenarios, taking on the role of a police officer.
The Williams Lake Studio Theatre is hosting a lighting workshop on Wednesday, April 3 starting at 7 p.m. with Micheal Hodgson, who gave his first lighting workshop during rehearsal for the musical Little Women. Graduates from that first workshop successfully helped to run the lights for Little Women which finished a three week run in the lakecity this month. Hodgson says no experience is necessary, just an eagerness to learn about theatrical lighting techniques. Space is limited so people who would like to take the workshop are asked to email him as soon as possible at bigcreekcowboy@gmail. com to register and for more information.

The Williams Lake annual Nutrition Run takes place Sunday, April 7 starting at 11 a.m. starting from and winding up at the Cariboo Memorial Complex. This 5 kilometre walk/run is a fun event to celebrate spring. Prizes and complimentary refreshments will be available at 12 noon. Last Tuesday evening the RCMP youth training included investigating a mock multi-vehicle accident scene in which injuries were sustained and drunk driving was the suspected cause of the incident.
Monday, April 8
Cadets attending receive work experience credits for successful completion of the academy. There is a fee for students to attend the training, however, with generous contributions from local service groups and businesses the cost is reduced. Vehicles, accommodations, transportation, gas, and instruction are provided by the RCMP and School District 27 at no cost. The RCMP Youth Academy is an excellent learning experience that is extremely challenging, both mentally and physically, say organizers. The event culminated with a graduation ceremony on Friday, March 22 in the gymnasium at Columneetza Secondary School.
The Cariboo Festival starts April 8-9 with the band and instrumental section at St. Peter’s Anglican Church with adjudicator Jose Delgado Guevara.

How exciting and awesome is that? You probably all know the Banff Mountain Film Festival, an incredible festival about everything to do with mountains. This is along those lines, only it has everything to do with water. And what can happen on water: paddling in many ways, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, surfing, stand-up surfing, and using any type of transportation on water possible. Like in the film Go Ganges in India. And even kayaking down waterfalls. The Williams Lake Film Club is very proud
that is! You will be on the edge of your seats at times, you will lean back and let the meditative powers of water and your time on it relax you at other times.

We would like to extend a warm thank-you to Mr. Mike Levitt, counsellor of Williams Lake Secondary School, for the initiation of such a grand idea on behalf of our children and families of Sugar Cane.” The event was attended by representatives of WLSS including the vice-principal, academic counsellors, numerous
teachers and First Nations support workers, parents and band council members, and special guest members of the RCMP. The theme was “everything you want to know about high school.” The purpose of the parent teacher night was to build and strengthen relationships between WLIB parents and school district staff, and to engage in dialogue about topics of importance to parents and students. Participants gathered in a traditional circle and parents were given the opportunity to engage district staff regarding a variety of subjects. Topics of discussion included parent/teacher communication approaches, methods of establishing a rapport between students and teachers, and the fundamentals of high school education. The event also included a pizza dinner fol-

City staff volunteer to help Indoor Rodeo A number of City of Williams Lake employees have volunteered their time to haul dirt into and out of the Cariboo Memorial Complex for the 23rd Annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo April 19-21. The staff volunteers, from the Streets and Parks Divisions of the City, will donate between 70-90 total man-hours to operate a loader and trucks to haul the dirt in and out of the arena. The work will be done outside of the volunteers’ scheduled work shifts. City Municipal Services staff have volunteered to do this work since 2007. “We are happy to help out the community, and help make these important events happen,” says Matt Sutherland, Streets/Parks Division foreman at the City. “This is one way we can make a difference for the community.” At its March 19th meeting, Council resolved to fund up to 50% of the cost of bringing soil in and out of the Indoor Rodeo for this year only, including equipment fuel and maintenance, in order to alleviate hardship on the Association due to the short notice before the event. “A huge thank you to our staff for volunteering yet again to help bring this popular event to Williams Lake,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “The Indoor Rodeo Association does an incredible job each year putting on a great weekend of rodeo entertainment.”

Big Creek honours Beth Suter Veera Witte Bonner Special to The Tribune The Big Creek Ladies’ Lunch, held at the community hall on March 13, was special this month, honouring Beth Suter who is leaving the community soon. Beth and her husband, Mac, moved to Big Creek in 1990 after purchasing Ray and Mary Thomson’s property on Duck Lake. They had fallen in love with the country earlier while on a Teepee Heart trail ride with Duane and Marion Witte. Mac was devoted to his adopted land. He wouldn’t even return to Switzerland for a visit. “If they want to see me they can come here.” Mac stated. Sadly Mac suffered a fatal heart attack in March of this year. Left alone, Beth is returning to Europe where she will live close to her daughter who now lives in France, but not far
from where she and Mac lived in Switzerland before immigrat-
ing to Canada. Their immaculate Duck Lake place has
already been sold. Very best wishes from Big Creek go
along with Beth as she takes her journey home.
