Cariboo Chilcotin Liberal Donna Barnett was reelected May 14, receiving 56.44 per cent of the vote. At her campaign headquarters in 100 Mile House, Barnett said the win was a good mandate for herself and the Liberal government. Fellow Liberal candidate Coralee Oakes won in Cariboo North, receiving 41.26 per cent of the vote. As the counting sign behind her says, Barnett left her competitors eating her dust.
Christy Clark’s B.C. Liberals pulled off one of the most surprising upsets in B.C. political history Tuesday, snatching a majority government from a B.C. NDP party that had been leading the polls throughout the election campaign. Clark, despite not winning her own riding of Vancouver-Point Grey, helped garner 50 seats for her party — 43 makes up a majority — in the B.C. legislature. The NDP and leader Adrian Dix fell short of their projected results, managing 33 seats. The Green Party with Andrew Weaver, and one independent, Vicki Huntington, each won one seat. Despite a push to increase voter turnout at this year’s provincial election numbers show an overall turnout of about 52 per cent, just slightly higher than the 50 per cent who voted in 2009.

Liberals ride ‘nail-biter’ night to a big win Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Both Liberal candidates Donna Barnett, Cariboo-Chilcotin, and Coralee Oakes, Cariboo North are excited to have won their ridings after what they said was a “nail-biter” election night. By the end of Tuesday evening preliminary results showed Barnett had received 56.44 per cent of the vote and Oakes received 41.26 per cent. Speaking from her campaign headquarters in 100 Mile House late Tuesday evening, Barnett said she and her supporters had had a great evening. “We’re very pleased. It’s a very good mandate for myself and a very good mandate for government.” Throughout the campaign Barnett said she felt good, but “not” confident. “I’ve been in many, many elections in my life and I never ever take anything for granted in an election. As you start to think you’re way
ahead of the game, you get yourself in trouble, so every day you work as hard as you can.” Barnett said she’s pleased she has Oakes on one side and Liberal Jackie Tegart on the other side in Fraser Nicola. “I’ve got Liberals on either side of me,” she added. Speaking from Quesnel Tuesday evening, Oakes said she was thrilled how it looks for people in the north. “Several years ago we talked about the ‘northern decade.’ This is just one more piece in what that northern decade will look like.” Oakes enjoyed the entire campaign, something she had not expected, she said. “We had such an amazing campaign team. Every single day we had fun and I’m so thankful. I expressed my thanks to both Duncan Barnett and Bob Simpson for running such a solid campaign and respectful campaign. It made it enjoyable for us and for the voters as well.” Oakes said she felt the numbers

become successful,” Oakes said, adding her thanks to the voters. See CANDIDATES Page A3

Hired and un-hired city CAO files Supreme Court appeal Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Don DeGagne, the man who was hired and then un-hired for a vacant CAO position in Williams Lake, filed a civil claim against the city in the Supreme Court of B.C. on May 8. The city has 21 days of being served the claim to respond or make a counter claim. City executive assistant Heather Sylvester respondend by e-mail Monday that she inquired and the city would not be making comments to media. DeGagne’s file of claim states he was wrongfully dismissed when the city breached his employment contract and terminated him without cause, proper notice or pay in lieu of notice. He has claimed damages for wrongful dismissal and breach of contract including aggravated, punitive and special damages. On Feb. 5 at a city council meeting, Mayor Kerry Cook announced the city was “pleased” to have hired DeGagne as CAO and that he would start work on March 1. Three weeks later on Feb. 28, however, the city sent out a press release stating that mayor and council had decided DeGagne would not be appointed as the CAO, and that the city would continue the search for a new one. The press release not-
ed: “DeGagne was not the best fit for the city’s needs at this time.” In the court document, DeGagne outlined a series of events that led to his termination. He noted Cook phoned him to congratulate him in the middle of February, and said she was excited about his commencement of work as CAO. “She further stated that she was sorry about bringing him into some troublesome issues, particularly the labour dispute with the union representing city employees and a court action between the city and the Cariboo Regional District.” DeGagne followed up with an e-mail to the human resources manager expressing his desire to become more informed about the labour dispute. He also sent an e-mail to the corporate officer of the city requesting information on the court action. On Feb. 26, DeGagne and his girlfriend moved to Williams Lake from Summerland. The next day, Feb. 27, the mayor requested a meeting with him, gave him a termination letter and advised him the city was terminating his contract. The letter stated: “your recent communication regarding the current labour dispute has rekindled reservations that members of council had at the time of offering you the CAO position. Council’s con-
fidence that you will be able to exercise the sound judgement coun-
cil is looking for in its CAO has been seriously shaken and caused it to
reconsider its decision.” He also alleged council did not allow him
an opportunity to be heard or to respond to the news of his termina-
tion. DeGagne did not respond to the Tribune’s request for comments.

Candidates thank supporters Continued From Page A1 At his campaign headquarters at the Cariboo Arts Centre in Williams Lake, Cariboo-Chilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse congratulated Donna Barnett on winning and recognized Green Party candidate Dustin Price and Independent Gary Young for the campaign and their efforts to work on behalf of the people in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. “The electorate are always right,” Wyse told his supporters. “Sure we are disappointed across the province, but that having been said, I want to recognize all of your efforts for working hard to make a case for us.” Wyse said he and his wife, Sheila, will now spend some time travelling. Speaking from Quesnel, Cariboo North Independent candidate Bob Simpson said he felt the early survey polls had not given any meaningful information. “I feel that B.C. is a very, very strange place because it comes down to each of the ridings. I told my staff earlier it could be anywhere from an NDP sweep, to a minority government with a balance of power held by some folks, to a Liberal sweep and everything in between, just because it’s riding by riding.” Simpson said he respected that Cariboo North voters had picked a Liberal MLA in a Liberal majority government. “Now Coralee is going to have the challenge, just like the premier, of delivering on
Coralee Oakes wins in Cariboo North. the promises of getting things done,” Simpson said. “I’ve committed to Coralee that I’m willing to mentor her in the transition, if she wants, but I think she’s going to get a quick education on how political parties really work and how difficult it is to be a brand new MLA in a significant majority governing party.” From his home Wednesday morning, Cariboo North NDP candidate Duncan Barnett congratulated Oakes on her win, saying she ran a good campaign. He was surprised by the end results, but said his campaign team had fun, worked hard, and learned a lot. “We just didn’t win. I guess people voted for more of the same, rather than change for the better. I have no further analysis than the fact that we didn’t get enough votes.” Thanking people who took the time to vote, his campaign team and volunteers, Duncan said everyone worked hard. Cariboo-Chilcotin
Green Party candidate Dustin Price said he was surprised and a “little” disappointed to see a Liberal majority. “I want to thank the Green Party for accepting me as a candidate and I want to thank the other candidates in this riding for making me feel welcome as a new comer,” Price said Wednesday by email. “Congrats to Donna. I will look forward to seeing her work at making our riding better for future generations.” As one of the younger candidates running, Price said he hoped he’d inspired younger voters to get out and get involved. “The future is ours and we need to take an active interest in it.” Speaking from his home in Lac La Hache, Independent Gary Young said the results proved the point that lies, fear, smears and paid-for government will get people elected. “I do fear for seniors, for single parents, for families, for teachers, and very much for the environment. In four years when our debt has grown to double our revenues, maybe at some point people will wake up.” Right now, Young suggested, most of the populous is sleeping and wants to hear that everything’s going to be OK. “I think that it’s unfortunate that so much of the population didn’t vote.” He said the people who voted for him wanted real change, whereas the rest of the voters voted for a party again. “The next four years

Preliminary results showed Cariboo North: Oakes had 5,459 votes, Simpson had 4,933,
Duncan Barnett had 2,840. In Cariboo-Chilcotin Donna Barnett had 6,952 votes, Wyse had 4,253, Price had 657 and Young had 455.
Voter turnout was down in both ridings, compared to 2009. In Cariboo North the turnout was 56.75 per cent, compared to 60 per cent in 2009.
In Cariboo-Chilcotin, the voter turnout was 58.6 per cent, compared to 62.9 per cent in 2009. Still both percentages were higher than the provincial average.

RCMP continued to investigate the scene late Tuesday, May 14, after a single vehicle accident on Highway 20, 19 kilometres from Williams Lake claimed the life of one female driver from the Nemiah area.

One dies in single vehicle accident A single motor vehicle incident 19 kilometres west of Williams Lake on Tuesday, May 14, along Highway 20, has claimed the life of one female driver from the Nemiah area. A female passenger was sent to hospital for
lower body injuries and the third passenger, a small child, was uninjured. The RCMP Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services said the incident occurred at approximately 11:45 a.m. An east bound ve-
hicle left the roadway, drove into the south side ditch, overturned and hit a tree. Police were on the scene at approximately 12:52 p.m. “This collision caused extensive damage to the cab of the vehicle and has resulted
in a fatality,” Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services said Tuesday. The coroner and RCMP were on the scene along with a traffic analyst until evening Tuesday. Alcohol and drugs are not considered as
factors in this incident and at this time police have no witnesses to this incident and ask if anyone has information to please contact Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211. Police continue to investigate the incident.
Mount Polley workers reach tentative agreement Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The union representing 285 workers at Imperial Metals Mount Polley Mine near Williams Lake reached a tentative five-year agreement with management late Tuesday, May 14. In April the union voted 96.3 per cent in favour of going on strike if it didn’t reach an agreement to replace the existing contract, which expired on Dec. 31, 2012. On May 28 and 29, the union will hold information meetings to explain the changes, said USW Local 1-425
president Bob McNair. “Then we’ll vote shortly after those two meetings. It was about 7:30 p.m. last night when we wrapped it up with the help of the mediator,” McNair said Wednesday. McNair said the union’s negotiating committee has accomplished what the membership asked it to do. “I’m happy with it and I know the rest of the negotiating committee are happy with it and that’s why we’re going to recommend acceptance. “It took 22 meetings and four months to finally get there,” McNair added.
Mount Polley general manager Tim Fisch confirmed the company has reached a tentative agreement with

ratification, but will say we’re pleased with the results and hope it’s ratified,” Fisch said.

Stewardship workshop attracts crowd Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A recent workshop on collaborative stewardship in the San Jose Watershed attracted around 35 people. “We gathered to look at what we already know, what work has been going on in the last couple of years on watershed planning and management in the San Jose Watershed. What are the gaps and what should be the next steps,” said Maureen LeBourdais of the Fraser Basin Council, who helped organize the workshop at the Pioneer Complex, April 29. Local government, First Nations, industry and various ministry representatives attended the one-day workshop, to look at better ways of managing the water resource. Participants broke into groups in the afternoon to tackle priority issues such as agriculture, land use, education, base line research, identified gaps, stewardship and governance. “How can we collaborate and work together, was one of our
Council gave the first three readings May 7 to five of the city’s bylaws receiving an upgrade. Speaking to city council, senior bylaw officer Grant Martin covered the proposed changes to bylaws dealing with security alarm systems, graffiti, parking between First Avenue North and Mackenzie Avenue, noise control and nuisance abatement. In the alarm bylaw there is an existing exemption for being charged a fee or having the alarm count as one of your free ones if you’re registered, if cancellation occurs prior to the arrival of the fire department or the RCMP or within five minutes of the dispatch being received. “That becomes a problem because when

Dr. Harry Nelson, Department of Forest Resources Management, University of British Columbia, participated in the original research project on climate change in the San Jose Watershed, published in July 2012. “We wanted to know what the next step is now that we’d done the research. That’s what this meeting was
about,” Nelson said. “We’re at the point where people are saying this is important. With something as complex as a watershed, where you don’t have a lot of institutional structure, I was really encouraged by the turnout and the fact that people want to move ahead.” People came to the meeting who didn’t participate previously, especially people in-
volved in agriculture in the watershed area, Nelson added. Steve Litke works with FBC at its Vancouver office in the watershed and water resources program. “We have some funding to help these types of workshops and help communities. “I also presented in terms of how other communities in the province are undertaking this kind of work
around their watersheds.” Litke was also encouraged by the turnout and the level of engagement among participants. “We’re in a stage where there are lots of ideas on the table. We’re just going to have to sift through what priorities emerge and determine who is in a position to work on those priorities,” Litke said.

a call comes into, especially the fire department, once they do a page they’re having anywhere from 10 to 30 people jumping into their vehicles already. Even if a person cancels within five minutes, many times the RCMP are there already, and many times the fire department are well on their way, so it’s costing the city. They are still paying.” It doesn’t fit, Martin said. With the registration people are allowed two alarms they aren’t billed for, but with the fire department getting involved the community’s being put at danger because they are responding to a Code 3 with lights and sirens on. Other changes to the bylaw are around housekeeping. “There’s talk of appealing to an advisory board, but we don’t
have one,” Martin used as an example. False alarm calls to the RCMP have dropped by one third since 2010, from 850 to 565 in 2012, Mayor Kerry Cook noted, while false fire alarms have increased. False fire alarms have increased from 75 in 2010 to 88 in 2012, however, which Mar-
tin said may be due to some businesses having problems with their alarms. The major change to the graffiti bylaw is around the content of the graffiti. In working with the RCMP, the bylaw office has decided if graffiti is offensive or gang related it needs to be removed within
48 hours if it demeans a person or group or class of persons based on race, colour, ancestry place of origin, religion, physical or mental disability, sex or sexual orientation of such person or group or class of persons or is deemed by the RCMP and/or bylaw department to be gang related and/or offensive.”

ongratulations to all the successful candidates in the provincial election. I look forward to working with MLAs Donna Barnett and Coralee Oakes and Premier Christy Clark. It’s nice to have a day set aside to honour our mothers, who do so much for us. I hope everyone celebrated a happy Mother’s Day From the Sunday. Mayor’s Great news as Chair the tenKerry Cook der for the South Lakeside paving and widening project has come in under budget. There is obviously a lot of work to do, and the city plans to issue weekly updates as work progresses in the coming weeks and months. More great news with our local hospital as well. The Cariboo Regional District has been asked to provide 40 per cent of the funding for development of a concept plan. Interior Health will provide the other 60 per cent of the cost, and will send out requests for proposals as soon as the CRD approves the expenditure. The plan is moving forward in a concrete way, and we’ve taken another step towards the redevelopment of the hospital. I had a tour of the newly renovated Sandman Hotel and Suites last week, and the rooms are very nice. With a swimming pool and a team kitchen, the Sandman is catering to sports teams visiting Williams Lake for games and tournaments. It is always great to see this kind of re-investment in local businesses! Councillors Surinderapal Rathor, Ivan Bonnell, Danica Hughes and I had a great time during McHappy Day last week, helping to raise money for Ronald McDonald Houses and other local children’s charities. Thanks to all those who donated! I encourage everyone to participate in the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential Commemoration Project events beginning tomorrow. The unveiling of the monument at the former St. Joseph’s site is at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, and the unveiling of the monument in Boitanio Park is at 10:30 a.m. Friday. The conference begins Thursday morning at TRU. More details are at http://www. sjmcommemorationevents.com/. Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.
Our Viewpoint
What explains the collapse? What happened? That’s been the question that’s been wagging jaws since the moment it was clear the BC Liberals had won the election Tuesday night. Defying polls and pundits, the big question was how could all the predictions have been so wrong. Some say Christy Clark successfully became the first female to be elected premier in B.C. because she had a simple message and repeatedly hammered it on every tour stop she made in the province: Strong economy, secure tomorrow. Dix’s message was more nuanced: Change for the better, one practical step at a time. It left room for people to ask, change to what? Perhaps the economy — and the looming fear that the horrible fiscal mess afflicting other countries could soon land here — is what drove many folks to plug their noses and vote for the devil they know. Lord knows the BC Liberals and Christy Clark’s leadership left much to be desired. In press releases, the BC Liberal media machine kept a running tally of what they said Dix’s promises would cost. The message was clear, taking a page from the So-

cial Credit W.A.C. Bennett days in B.C.: Beware the red under the bed. Some say this election proved positive campaigning doesn’t work. That Dix should have worked harder to point out the failings of the BC Liberal government, kept things like BC Rail, and cost overruns for BC Place and the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre fresh in people’s minds. If there was an absence of dirt shoveled by the NDP campaign, there was also an absence of gold voters could hold onto. Skills training? A healthy, diversified economy? If Christy Clark’s populist style and megawatt smile evoked memories of Bill VanderZalm and inspired the wariness reserved for door-to-door salesmen, Adrian Dix’s deadpan delivery left many cold. Dix’s decision, mid-campaign, to state clear opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion plan may be seen as a pivotal blunder. The Liberals seized on this as a sign the NDP would stifle industry (read: jobs and revenues) in B.C. It may be untrue, but as every political dog knows, messages like that stick to your fur. - Chris Bryan/Burnaby NewsLeader

oly Cow! Wow-zers! Were the political pollsters, pundits and experts ever wandering (dazed) far out in someone’s alfalfa field. Have they ever been so far out to lunch? Christy Clark may not have won her own riding but she somehow managed to turn stale old cow pies into solid votes in many a-riding, some traditionally Liberal, others newly Liberal. In our two Cariboo ridings (Cariboo-Chilcotin/Cariboo North) women Liberal candidates won the day. It wasn’t a surprise (to me) that local incumbent Donna Cattle Barnett Fodder held her spot. Liz Twan S h e is wellknown and generally liked among the people of her riding no matter what their political leaning; a genuine Cariboo-gal whose availability (visibility) throughout the year is noted and appreciated by many folks. What was somewhat startling was the margin of her victory (CaribooChilcotin) as she garnered 56.44 per cent (the Tyee) of the popular vote (versus 34.53 per cent won by Charlie Wyse). The last time the two faced off (2009) the margin was very slim with Barnett winning a squeaker (88 votes) with a marginal 47.85 per cent over Wyse’s 47.18 per cent. In Cariboo North it was closer with incumbent Bob Simpson putting up a valiant fight as he endeavoured, as an Independent challenger, to try to hold his seat (formerly held as an NDP) which he may have pulled off if the province hadn’t been swept by what seems to have been a late tidal swing in Liberal popularity. Newcomer Coralee Oakes (former Quesnel city councillor, executive director of the Quesnel Chamber of Commerce) campaigned hard, is obviously well-known (popular) in her district and appeared to rise atop the rogue wave (Liberal) as the election tide turned. She likely believed all along, as well — in spite of pollsters’ predictions! Oakes won with 41.26 per cent (5,459 votes). Runner-up Bob Simpson had 37.28 per cent (4,933) while first-timer Duncan Barnett (NDP) had a solid showing (21.46 per cent, 2,840). Clearly a tighter contest (than Cariboo-Chilcotin) but yet another clear case of confidence in a female, Liberal politician. Liz Twan is a rancher and freelance columnist for the Tribune.

MORE VIEWPOINTS
Looking for factual information Editor: While Taseko’s Mr. Battison recently said I was wrong about the potential harm to Fish Lake, I think he is wrong or at least disseminating incorrect information. The original plan was rejected because of the draining of the lake for a tailings pond. The “new” proposal would move the tailings pond, complete with a dam, upstream from the lake. Battison also openly commented in 100 Mile house that: “There will be seepage from the tailings pond.” My question some time ago to Taseko was how long before the seepage reaches the lake and starts to contaminate it.
Further to this Taseko has suggested a “plan” to have pumps and pipes “recirculate the lake water” and this would save the lake. If the project goes ahead, and if the pumps are installed and working, what happens after the mine closes up? How long will the tailings pond leach into the water table and underground areas? Who will pay for, administer, and repair the pumps? If, or, as I suggest, when the lake is negatively impacted will there be a one fifth billion dollar bond for reclamation and repair. The final pit situation will apparently be hundreds of feet deep, within 500 metres of the lake, and may take 40 years to fill, all information forward by Taseko.
Will there be any monitoring or safety requirements while the pit fills up? While the Liberal government says the same thing as Taseko, the B.C. government passed judgement onto to the Federal Environmental Review Panel. The attitude of the current B.C. government seems to be — just do it and not worry about the environment and other concerns. Mr. Battison, you want to go ahead and you will say anything to support the project. I’m looking for realistic and factual information. Please explain how a couple of pumps can save a lake that will have contaminated seepage flowing into it? Gary Young Independent candidate
Temporary foreign worker program hurts B.C. workers Editor: Why would the BC Chamber of Commerce defend an unpopular, anti-worker loophole, like Harper’s original “temporary foreign worker program?” (Tribune Weekend, Re: “BC Chamber of Commerce Concerned,” May 3, A21.)

in their stores — visiting, lowpaid foreign workers? I really doubt it. Seriously, how many of these business lobbyists ever worked in a mill, a mine, or in the conditions faced by the majority of temporary foreign workers? I’m very disappointed that the BC Chamber of Commerce would have the nerve to lobby for a “temporary foreign worker

*** A basket of real sour raspberries to the person who stole my groceries out of a shopping cart at Safeway on Thursday, May 9. I had purchased over $100 worth of food and medications. I wheeled them out onto the porch of the store. My wife of 63 years was with me. She had wheeled her walker out beside the truck and I hurried to help her in. Then I proceeded to put her walker in the back of the truck, climbed into the cab and went home. We live a short way from the store and as soon as I arrived, no groceries. I rushed back to the store but some person felt they needed them more than I did. I am quite sure the medication that was in that bag would be useless to most people, but very necessary for my wife. It would certainly be appreciated if you could return the goods to the Safeway, tell them they belong to

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Peterson Contracting Ltd. of Williams Lake has been awarded the widening tender for South Lakeside Drive for a total amount of $1,808,243. The amount excludes GST, however the city’s director of finance Pat Higgins said the city will be eligible for a GST rebate. Originally it was estimated the project cost would be around $2,322,200, city engineer technologist Jeff Bernardy noted in a report to mayor and council. “Therefore, the compliant low construction tender from Peterson Contracting Ltd. of
$1,808,243.29 is well within expectation.” It’s good news the project is under budget, Mayor Kerry Cook said. There are still some other costs that need to finalized, such as acquiring a thin strip of private land for the widening of the road, but it’s a positive step forward, she explained. “It’s a long overdue project.” Peterson’s bid was one of four, but the only local one. Other bids came from Dawson Construction Ltd. for $1,915,495, Big Rock Construction Ltd. for $1,996,395, and IDL Projects Company for $2,415,262. The engineering con-
struction services contract has been awarded to TRUE Consulting Group for a total of $110,000. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said he was “delighted” by the tender outcome. “Hopefully it’s not only going to do the good work that council and the community wants done, but hopefully it will help the 2013 budget,” Rathor said. Coun. Danica Hughes wondered if there had been any feedback from other local companies as to why they had not put in a bid, and heard from Rathor that most construction companies make work plans during Christmas time.

jngaard, Executive Director of Central Cariboo Hospice states, “The essentials of palliative care are the beliefs that each of us has the right to die painfree and with dignity and to be cared for by people who maintain a sense of hope and who are both compassionate and competent.” Hospice volunteers provide support to ensure the highest quality of life possible for the person living with a life-limiting illness. Hospice volunteers also provide relief to the caregivers of hospice clients, helping them handle the physical, emotional, and spiritual stress of illness and death. Hospice care can be provided at home, in hospital, or at the nursing home. Opportunities to help may include: Listening to a client’s concerns, being a comforting and supportive presence, engaging in the client’s hobbies, for example, playing a board game, reading, or writing letters, encouraging client’s to tell their stories and
providing respite for the caregiver to take care of her/his self. Central Cariboo Hospice strives to constructively use the time and talents of those who answer the call to serve. Volunteers are never asked to do something they are not comfortable doing. Currently, the Hospice Society has about 35 volunteers, serving nearly 100 clients per year. Not all volunteers are always available, however, so the Society is always looking for more volunteers.
Because death is such a sensitive issue, hospice volunteers go through 30 hours of training that help volunteers develop the communications skills necessary to comfort and support patients and families and explains the emotional and spiritual needs of clients at the end of life. Pain and symptom control, the physical process of dying, legal issues , funeral arrangements, and selfcare for volunteers are also covered in the training. Training is

Hospice Volunteers report that helping the terminally ill is not about dying, but about living. They say that being intimately involved with another person’s death gives them a greater appreciation for life. Hospice volunteers report having a deep sense of satisfaction being there for someone during their end of life journey. Some volunteers say it helps them come to terms with their own mortality and that by providing hospice care they learn how to deal with similar situations occurring in their own lives when a beloved family member or friend is facing death. Palliative care refers to the compassionate care of the dying person. The goal of palliative care is to manage pain and other symptoms so that those facing death, and their loved ones, can devote their energies not to fighting physical discomfort, but to embracing the time they have left together.

Strong local contingent storm BMO Vancouver Marathon Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Just weeks after the Boston Marathon bombings thousands gathered in Vancouver May 5 for the BMO Vancouver Marathon to show their support. Right in the thick of the event — each runner wearing a yellow ribbon in recognition of the runners in Boston — were 24 lakecity marathoners. Some raced the half marathon, while others took part in the full marathon, which began at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Park and stretched around the Stanley Park Seawall. Running the full marathon were Amandah Cullum, Brandy Links, Larry Johannesen and Sharon Munk. Amandah said it was an amazing run, and something she’d been wanting to check off her bucket list for quite some time. “I ran two half marathons last year, but during training I thought I’d never want to do this again,” Amandah said, who was running up to 60-plus kilometres per week to train for the race. “After that I thought, ‘Who signs up to do half of something?’ I’m not the kind of person who would do half of something, so I decided
to do a marathon to check it off my bucket list and I’m so happy I did.” In the half marathon were Matt Cullum, Rya Enns, Claire Lawrence, Jane Nicol, David Polack, Andrea Gustafson, Christie Sanford, Katelyn Brown-John, Heather Cail, Carrie Knox, Angela Laprairie, Dora Foote, Jeff Allen, Meaghan Allen, Meghan Smith, Tammy James, Janice Laurie, Ruth Hendren, Agnes Young and Treena Brown. Matt, Amandah’s husband, finished 66th out of 560 racers in his category, posting a time of 1:37:58. “He had done a few marathons when he was in his 20s, and he really wanted to do it in 1:45, which was his time then, and he did it in 1:37 so I was really proud of him,” Amandah said. Enns, competing in her fourth half marathon, said it was one of her slower times but still an amazing experience. “There was an emotional keynote address from the American consulate that thanked the people of Vancouver for honouring the Boston runners,” Enns said. “She mentioned the ‘bond’ that all runners share and that the outpouring of support from Vancouver runners was amazing.” For complete local race results check the sidebar.

SPORTS Ninety archers converge at outdoor shoot Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Cariboo Archers Outdoor 3D Shoot hit the bull’s-eye for competitors from around the region on the weekend, many of whom got their first taste of competitive outdoor shooting this year. Close to 90 shooters from Prince George, Revelstoke, Kamloops and Williams Lake competed during the twoday event, which began Saturday and finished Sunday at the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association clubhouse on Bond Lake Road. Archers in the outdoor shoot headed out on an ‘A’ and a ‘B’ course each day, firing 20 shots on each course. All of the foam, animal-shaped targets were at various distances posing unique challenges for competitors. Points were then
tallied throughout the course until final scores, and a winner, was determined. The men’s open division was dominated by lakecity archers. Danny Cooper and Lee Jackman, both from Williams Lake, finished first and second, respectively. Third place in the division went to Kamloops’ Myles Tuba. John Walker, competing in the men’s unlimited division, sniped the top spot. In men’s masters it was Williams Lake’s Al Campsall finishing ahead of Kamloops’ Frank Gaspard and Terry Haines. Youth compound archers, Williams Lake’s Cameron Brockel and Tristan Moe, finished second and third, respectively, in their division. For peewee compound archers the brother, sister duo of Cole

Longtime longboarder Carly Richardson will be teaching Skateboarding 101 in Williams Lake beginning Sunday, May 26.
2013 Dodge Journey R/T shown.§
Richardson brings skills for Skateboarding 101 half a dozen skateboard companies including Landyachtz Longboards, Bear Trucks and TimeShip Racing. Richardson was a coach and mentor for an all-female downhill skateboarding event of 60-plus girls for the Maryhill Tour de Feminin and worked in California and New Mexico teaching people of all ages the skills they need to ride confidently and safely. “My perspective on my board is always different, that’s part of what I love about it,” Richardson said. “The literal feeling under my feet is always the same — comfortable. But as surroundings change, intention and direction change. It’s always a different mood for me but always positive, and
never stop.” Richardson said during the program she’ll teach participants how to keep safe while skateboarding. “Learning to be safe is key to boarding,” she said. “You are going to fall whether you like it or not, so learn how to do it the right way then you can enjoy all your roll time on the board. The class will start off on flat ground then move to ramps and then the skate park. It will be a lot of fun.” Skateboarding equipment is available to those who need it, but all participants must provide their own helmet. For more information or to register call the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex at 250-398-7665.

Chad Beaulieu and Ted Golightly fire an average 59.3 to take the championship. Coming in a close second place were Justin Doucette, Arnie Zimmerman, Mike Zimmerman and Harvey Lammi, posting a 59.6 on the round. Third place went to the team of Steve Mar-
getts, Terry Rust, Tom Erickson and Grant Martin with a 59.8, while fourth place were Gene Brettell, Tom Merrick, Rick Paquette and Paul Rivet firing a 60.2. Finally, the most honest team went to Rob Lyons, Jim Payler, Peter Montgomery and David Duffin.

City bus ramps improve accessibility LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune Margaret Waring, member of the City of Williams Lake Accessibility Committee and occupational/ physical therapist for School District 27, went for a bus ride with a friend recently to see how accessibility ramps on city buses benefit people in the community who need an alternative to stairs on a bus. She invited Williams Lake Secondary Grade 8 student Allan Stafford, who is in a wheelchair, to try out the new ramp, and they boarded a city bus near his school. The purpose of the trip around the city was to try out the ramp at the front of the bus. Waring said that she has taken clients on city buses to make sure they could manage the stairs. “Now I have been assured that our city buses are wheelchair accessible,” Waring explained. “A lot of people assume that accessibility is restricted to wheelchairs, but that simply isn’t the case. It’s people walking, seeing, hearing — people being accepted, in a way. It’s people with a walker or a stroller.” The ramp lifts hydraulically and lowers onto the sidewalk or side of the street. Wheelchairs and strollers can roll in and around a corner and strap securely in place. Waring said topics that come up regularly at accessibility meetings are the fact that there are no wheelchair-accessible taxis in Williams Lake, and the hours of operation for the Go-Bus. “If you can’t stand and transfer

Secondary student Allan Stafford recently tried out the city bus system and the ramp systems available to people with mobility difficulties. He finds the ramps are easy to use and make it easier for people like himself to get where they need to go on their own. to a seat, and don’t have your own van, you can’t go out for dinner on a Saturday night, or attend an evening sporting event, concert or movie,” Waring continued. Stafford and his family live in the
Chimney Lake area and he said that his school bus is one of several in School District 27 with a lift. He also said this was his first time on public transit. “I think one of the biggest acces-
sibility challenges is public transit – people getting where they need to go in their everyday lives,” Stafford said. “This ramp is great. It’s easy to get on and off on your own.”
Columneetza teacher sacrifices locks for cancer patients Sharon Smith Special to The Tribune Loyd Cszimadia, a teacher at Columneetza Secondary School, made a decision about a year ago to grow his hair out. His plan was to then cut his long hair and donate the shorn locks to be made into wigs that are used by cancer patients who lose their hair while taking chemotherapy treatment. For more than a year Cszimadia has grown his once short hair long — so long that he now wears it in a ponytail. Cszimadia decided that an even greater contribution would be to have his head shaved bald after it is cut as a way of raising money for Cops for Cancer. So he added a new provision to this goal. Cszimadia challenged students at the school to raise $1,000. And, if they do so by May 24, he will go
COMMUNITY NOTEBOOK
ahead with his plans to have his head shaved. The CCS leadership class took up the torch and started raising money, one toonie at a time. The First Nations Department decided to sell bannock and donate the proceeds. The stakes went higher, when Ryan Hanley, another teacher at Columneetza donated $50. and challenged his colleagues to do the same. So far the response has been enthusiastic. Anyone in the public who wishes to donate to ensure Cszimadia reaches his goal is asked to help by dropping by the school and making a tax deductible donation. We will set up an assembly so that everyone can cheer “Mr. C” on as he has his beautiful curls removed! We can do it! Bald is beautiful and this is a beautiful event. Sharon Smith is a counsellor at CSS.

The Oliver Street Market will be experiencing a few changes. We will be moving from Herb Gardner Park, right below city hall, to the Old Courthouse Square, otherwise known as Spirit Square, located on the corner of Oliver Street and First Avenue. In trying to find a time when the market will be accessible to as many people as possible we are also changing the date/time. After speaking with many members of the community as well as local businesses and groups, our board and members have voted to
change from Saturday mornings to Friday evenings from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. The market will run from May, 31 until Oct. 18 this year. We have loved our location these past two years for its green space and visibility, however, access for vendors and customers has been a constant challenge so after much deliberation we have decided to move. Our new location is in the heart of downtown, and we envision a market that will be a vibrant community event that will help to liven up the centre of our city. Oliver Street Market has become an integral part of its community and brings together
farmers, artisans, craftspeople and consumers in an innovative way, facilitating sales for farmers/vendors through a creative market. The Oliver Street Market celebrates, educates and promotes fresh, locally grown food and supports the development of a strong, local economy. The Oliver Street Market is a venue that supports and advocates for small farms, involved in local, sustainable agriculture and links consumers of all economic levels in their community with fresh, local food.

“They call the Cariboo home” Laughter often the best medicine Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Talking with Joy McCann is a reminder that laughter is often the best medicine. McCann will be turning 90 soon, lost her husband John James McCann 15 years ago, and her only child, Roy, predeceased her in 2011. In March she underwent surgery, gave up driving a car the day before the surgery, yet she finds humour at every turn. Williams Lake is miles away from her birthplace — a small market town Hexham on Tyne, Northumberland. She met John in 1940 in Black Pool where her family ran a boarding house. “They’d turned the town into an airforce base to train the boys,” she recalled. “All through the war we had 21 boys billeting at our boarding house.” John arrived a week before she turned 17. “I had my birthday with 17 boys. It was good,” she chuckled. John was in the desert for five and a half years during the war. He returned in 1946 and she met him again. “I met him on the 24th of January and we got married on the 13th of April,” McCann recalled. In 1976, the McCanns visited Williams Lake. It was their first trip to Canada. Their son Roy had moved to Williams Lake. “It was a nice place,” McCann said of her first impressions. “There were open doors, you could walk anywhere and somebody would stop and give you a lift if they saw you. It was so friendly.” It was Stampede time and she’d been taken around in her son’s jeep, always going into

back doors of shops and businesses. “Then I found out that my son was with the puddle jumpers and was going to be in the Stampede parade.” Puddle jumpers, she explained, were a crowd of youngsters who got together and went out in jeeps and land rovers into the woods and “got stuck.” “So we’re coming into watch him in the parade and all of a sudden we were driving all the way down Oliver Street. I’d been here for over a week and hadn’t been down Oliver Street. I said to Roy, ‘how come I haven’t seen these shops with the glass fronts?” Roy told his mom that was because they usually went in the back entrances. Smiling she explained the reason they hadn’t gone out on the front street was because it had
been freshly paved in anticipation of the parade. She still chuckles about the fact she really saw the downtown for what it was after only seeing the back alley view. Because the McCanns had arrived on holiday without a vehicle, they walked everywhere and people stopped them and invited them in for tea. “We met such a lot of nice people that way.” They returned to England, however, John had worked for 33 years with a firm and was getting to the stage where they were going to have to move from where they lived. She didn’t want to relocate so instead, they decided to move to Williams Lake. They visited in early 1979 to investigate whether John could handle the cold weather and
stayed for two months. By Dec. 6, 1979 they had immigrated. Roy and his family lived past the airport turn off and his parents built onto a home for themselves on the property, where McCann lived up until eight years ago. John worked as a custodian for the School District for seven years. It was a change of pace, but stress free, McCann said. The McCanns were members of the local Lions and Lionesses Clubs and volunteered at the Stampede and 4H Show and Sale through the years. She also spent 16 years with the Seniors Activity Centre. “There were three ladies who did every first and third Tuesday of the month together. One was taking cash, one was making sandwiches, and I did most of the delivery.”

She continues to participate in carpet bowling and the Senior Stitches who make two quilts a year to raffle off for the Old Age Pensioners Organization. Since her arrival, she has watched Williams Lake change and said it’s not “quite the cowboy town it used to be.” “Things have changed since the town started to grow and we started to get people from out of town. The people are different so therefore you get that cross cosmopolitan thing where they don’t know you and people don’t smile at you.” When Glen Arbor opened in 2004, McCann was one of the first residents. “I love it here and would like to stay here for the rest of my life if I could,” she said. “I have lots of friends in here. Three of us have been here since the beginning and another person joined us two years ago. We fit together as a foursome. We take turns hosting a dinner once a month.” It’s her turn this month and she’s doing ham, she said. It might have been a bit harder to give up driving if she didn’t have a scooter, but she’s had it parked away for two and a half years. “I’m just getting out on it now. It’s not quite the same as driving the car. I have a basket on the back and I find if I turn around a bit too quick I think I clipped a counter this morning in Save-OnFoods.” Raising her arms slightly she explained she wears a collar to bed and uses a special water pillow, otherwise her arms don’t work. “I’m in good strength, but the body’s quitting slowly,” she said laughing.

Shirley Jean McMillan Dec. 14, 1926 to May 8, 2013 Shirley Jean McMillan was born Dec. 14, 1926 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. She was one of four sisters. Shirley came to the beautiful Cariboo in 1966 after spending her youth and early married years in North Vancouver. Shirley passed away peacefully, May 8, 2013 at the WL Seniors Village, with family by her side. Shirley was well known in the community as someone who had a wonderful smile and a positive word for all. She retired from Safeway, to enjoy a full life of traveling, being with family and dancing (her favourite activity, as a result of growing up in the West End of Vancouver, during the big band era). Shirley is survived by daughter Susan Zacharias (Paul) of WL, sons, Mark Carlson (Dawn) of Kamloops, Michael Carlson (Monique) of Princeton, stepson Shawn McMillan (Dawn) of Kaleden and cherished friend Sharon Coakley of WL, 17 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren. A service for Shirley will be held at the Senior Citizen’s Activity Center on North 4th Ave. in WL at 3 pm on Sat. June 8th, 2013, Pastor Paul Lomavatu will be officiating, reception to follow. Shirley loved animals and any condolences would be gladly accepted in the form of a donation to the WL SPCA or SPCA of your choice.
