Remembering recovering and reconciling Monuments were erected at the former St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School Site south of Williams Lake and at Boitanio Park in Williams Lake May 16 and 17. On the monuments, under an archival photograph of the former mission school, the inscription encased in a large black feather reads in part: “Today we dedicate ourselves to the healing journey of all of those affected by the St. Joseph’s Mission (Cariboo) Residential School that operated on this site from July 19, 1891 to June 30, 1981.” “.. the absence of an apology has been an impediment to healing and reconciliation. Therefore on behalf of the Government of Canada and all Canadians, I stand before you... to apologize to Aboriginal peoples for Canada’s role in the Indian Residential School System.” - Prime Minister Stephen Harper, June 11, 2008.

National Chief Atleo delivers message of hope Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The moment of hope and incredible potential is emerging said Assembly of First Nations National Chief Shawn A-In-Chut Atleo in Williams Lake Friday. Atleo was giving the opening address on day two of Remembering, Recovering and Reconciling, the Truth and Reconciliation Statement Gathering, in Williams Lake that began May 16. “I feel hope for the future of our people,” Atleo said. “It’s an honour that you’ve come together in unity from different nations. It’s a powerful statement. You’ve come together to support the journey of the survivors, to mark and commemorate what has occurred, as well as to celebrate the moments that are to come.” It’s hopeful that mayors and directors from the Cariboo Regional District, School District #27, Thompson Rivers University, the RCMP, and church leaders were also present, Atleo said. “I remember when I was on a
ride to the St. Joseph’s Mission site in 2007. I remember that moment, we were on horseback, and we were riding to the mission.” There was a tightness in his stomach that comes with emotions and he said he was sure survivors must have felt that when they went to the monument unveiling at the site on May 16. “I want to say that we’re here with you. That we recognize you’re honouring students who didn’t make it. That their memory is important and that the work continues of honouring the ancestors.” When he joined the group in 2007 on horses and wagon, he realized the leaders, such as Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William who had invited him, were saying “it was a dreadful journey at one time.” “You’ve transferred that now into a journey for healing to be out there together. That’s the work that’s happening here. That courageous manner in which our people have always been able to face challenges and come face to face with an institution that wreaked havoc
on you and your lives, on your families and communities.” Quoting Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s apology statement in 2008, Atleo said decisions were taken that should have never been taken, and must never be taken again. “I will never forget that moment because I got to hold the hand of my late granny Elsie Robinson, my Aunty Louise’s late mom, who passed away four years ago.” Elsie, 87, took Atleo’s hand and said: “They’re just beginning to see us grandson. You see, even in a moment, there was a measure of justice that my late granny was feeling. But I think more importantly, as grandmothers want to do, to express that and encourage her grandson to find the healing potential.” His granny wanted him to realize that through all the difficulties she wanted to encourage her grandson that Canada was staring to see Aboriginal people and that was a good thing.

annual general Meeting
Bear spray used to rob sports store Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A robbery’s one thing, but bear spray isn’t cool, and it “sucks” that someone would bear spray someone. That’s what Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed owner Mark Savard was saying the day after someone entered his Williams Lake store, let off some bear spray, and stole a longboard worth around $300. “Reflecting back, that’s the bad thing. It still smells like it in here and you have to cough,” Savard told the Tribune Friday morning. “I’m sure everyone knows what it would be like to be bear sprayed and yet that someone would still bear spray someone is crazy.” Now the store has bikes and everything coated in bear spray. “No thought and no respect,” Savard said. Earlier in the day a group of kids came in and scoped the store, but it was only one youth that returned. “He barely came in the door. He ran in the doorway, sprayed, grabbed a longboard and ran.” Savard acted quickly. He jumped on his bike, and chased the thief down, who was running away on foot carrying the stolen longboard. “I took off and did a lap around the Elk’s
Hall. He ran up the alley behind the Bank of Montreal behind Barton’s Insurance. I chased him down in front of Barton’s in the middle of Oliver Street and took him down in the Shopper’s parking lot.” The thief didn’t have an escape route planned, Savard suggested. “I think there was a
lot of fear. I was running behind him and it was like cornering a chicken, he didn’t know what to do,” Savard recalled. “He kept on pointing the bear spray at me and spraying me, but I said go ahead, it’s the last thing you’ll ever do, put it down now while you can.” Williams Lake RCMP were dispatched
to Red Shred’s and then caught up to where Savard was holding the suspect in the parking lot at Shopper’s. The suspect was taken into custody by police and later released on a promise to appear for a court date in the future. “The suspect was in the company of two of his friends at the time of the robbery. All are youth in their mid-
teens. The investigation is continuing to further identify each person’s role,” the RCMP said in a press release.

First Nations leaders pay tribute to Elijah Harper in Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Chief Justice Murray Sinclair, chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, remembered former Cree leader Elijah Harper during the opening of the second day of a Residential School Conference taking place in Williams Lake, May 17. “It is with sadness that we tell you this morning we received news just before sunrise of the passing of Elijah Harper last night in Ottawa,” Sinclair said. “Elijah was a good friend to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people across the country.” Sinclair said Harper is well-remembered for the stand that he took on the Meech Lake Accord, asserting that all across the country not enough recognition was being given to the state of Aboriginal people. “He would not consent to the constitutional process in place before him.” Harper’s stance created “a lot of pressure” for him and placed
demands on him, and comments addressed toward him that were challenging. “I’m sure they had a long term effect upon his health. He had not been in good health for the last few months, but his death was still an unexpected event.” On behalf of the commission and all of the people attending the conference in Williams Lake, Sinclair expressed condolences to Harper’s family, close friends and his birth community of Red Sucker Lake First Nation, 700 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg. Steve Basil of Bonaparte First Nation smudged the room and people who felt the need to be smudged in honour of Harper’s death. “I’m sure Elijah would ask you to be strong,” Sinclair told the crowd. “He would encourage you to continue your own healing and take care of yourselves in terms of your own health. Take care if your families and do what you can to strengthen your com-
munities. Those were issues he was dedicated to through the course of his life time.” National Chief Shawn A-in-Chut Atleo, Assembly of First Nations, paid homage to Harper before speaking to the conference in Williams Lake. “I join the commissioner on behalf of First Nations from coast, to coast, to coast, acknowledging the passing of the late Elijah Harper. I express the deepest of empathy and sympathy to his family.” Harper’s passing is a reminder of the sacredness of life offered to people on earth, Atleo said. “We all have our teachings when these moments arrive. We may speak different languages and our cultures might look different in ceremony, but I have had a deep privilege to witness and continue to learn from so many indigenous people across the country to know that our teachings are strong and support us in moments like this.” “As Harper stood

We also
know that when he left politics he was saying yes to healing and reconciliation. I express my deepest honour and respect to the late Elijah Harper for the legacy that he has left all of us. Thank you for what you have
done for our people. “You will be missed. You will not be forgotten,” Atleo said. Harper attended residential schools in Norway House, Brandon and Birtle, and then secondary schools at Garden Hill and Win-
nipeg. He studied at the University of Manitoba and began his long career in public service when he was elected chief of his community at the age of 29, and was the first Aboriginal to serve as an MLA.
Atleo: residential school survivors courageous Continued From Page A1 “She said I’m content with my life. I’m content and happy and proud of my family. To people who experienced the residential school like my granny and my aunty, I hold my hands up in appreciation for you bearing the full responsibility and blunt
of the biggest challenge our people have faced.” Many residential school survivors have provided leadership, he added. “I think about the courage it has taken for so many of our people to speak up, to write their stories.” They have worked with the RCMP to anchor and support a safe
framework for healing, Atleo added. “The intergenerational traumas and cycles that are beginning to be broken by the exciting work being done. We have young people here among us who are participating, learning and understanding this legacy that we collectively inherited.” “There are many in
this region that have had the courage to hold perpetrators accountable, as well as through the courts. They not only held them accountable before the courts, but they facilitated healing circles.” Healing circles bring better results, that many years of courts and lenient sentences, Atleo said.
“You can stand proud to have reconciled your past to create healthy families and communities. As a 46 year old, I must express and commend those of you celebrating 25 to 35 years sobriety. Thank you,” he said to a huge applause. “Your strength has helped move thousands across the country to face their own expe-
riences in residential school.” Leadership in the Cariboo-Chilcotin provided a pathway for healing and reconciliation, he reminded. “I want to recognize the Cariboo Tribal Council facilitating important research on Indian Residential Schools on your families and communities.
This has charted a path to recovery. They also held the first national conference on Indian Residential Schools in 1991. We recognize this leadership, celebrate and appreciate this leadership.” “It was done at a time when nobody wanted to talk about it. It was a big taboo. Thank you for breaking that.”

The diet of wolves living in the Chilcotin’s Brittany Triangle area are the subject of a research project taking place this spring and summer.
Wolf activity researched in the Brittany Triangle Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Field researcher Sadie Parr is trying to determine what wolves in the Chilcotin are eating. “Figuring out what they are eating will teach us a lot about behaviour and the ecological interactions that are happening in the area,” Parr told the Tribune. She will focus her research in the Brittany Triangle, and was going into the area in April to plan her research. Friends of Nemiah Valley and Valhalla Wilderness Society are sponsoring the research, providing some professional and logistical advice, and she’s using a research cabin owned by FONV, located in the heart of Nunsti Provincial Park. “We’ve been sponsoring students there for the last 10 years. A lot of research has been done in the area,” said FONV president David Williams.
Parr lives in Golden and has tracked wolves in Yoho National Park for the last four years, and has been involved in “wolf work” for a decade. “I feel they are misunderstood so getting accurate information and being able to provide it, rather than anecdotally is important,” Parr said. “Wolves are managed the same way ungulates are right now in the way that it doesn’t always work.” A high number of wolves is not necessarily a sign of a stable population, she explained. “I would like to figure out what’s happening in the Brittany Triangle,” she said. “There is a knowledge gap. Wolves are recognized as a keystone species, capable of causing trophic cascades.” Stable families will determine the overall health of a wolf population. If populations aren’t stable then that might
create ranching issues or cause hunting rates to be increased, Parr said. “They are extremely social animals so I would like to learn if these wolves are in stable units. If they are then theoretically they would take less animals, use larger territories, reuse den sites, and hunt co-operatively.” Those wolf practices will change if wolves are indiscriminately killed, which Parr said is happening across B.C. right now, can cause an increase in population, and an increase in the number of conflicts. In the 1920s Yellowstone National Park decided to kill all the predators in the area and the last wolf was killed in 1926. “By the 1950s, the park was extremely different. Biodiversity had dropped incredibly, there was a loss of songbirds, small mammals, it was basically a trophic cascade,” Parr
said. The deer and elk populations exploded with no predators keeping them in check and their behaviour changed dramatically. “Before they would have been constantly on the move avoiding predators, now they had no reason to do that, so they basically stood still and were more easily exposed.” They overgrazed and over browsed and stunted all the aspen and willows that grew along the rivers. It impacted beavers, who use aspen and willows, so the park dried out and there were huge forest fires in the 1980s, and a ton of starving deer and elk. Elk were shipped to other parks, but because the parks were full, elks were slaughtered by the thousands. “It was very sad and the park was very sick.

Wolves needed for healthy, biodiverse ecosystem away or it helps them find each other. “They’ll howl emotionally at births and deaths. I’ve heard it described as a mood synchronizing activity.” There is a unison in wolves, Parr said. “It’s not a single wolf that’s the predator. It’s the pack and experience is passed down generation to generation. In a way it’s similar to bees. As a super organism they really function together.” After the big forest fire in 2003, Williams and his wife, Pat, were going into their place in the Brittany Triangle, 26 kilometres off the road, to see if their cabin had been burned down. “We were camped at night and we heard this howling and carrying on. Because of the fire, the wolves were absolutely upset. It went on and on. We’d never heard it like that before,” Williams recalled. Another time he heard the same distress call and when he walked up to a little lake north of the cabin the next day, he saw a dead wolf on the edge of the lake. “They were very upset and vocal with their expression of distress.” It’s the true call of the wild, Parr suggested. There are several documented cases of a member of the wolf family being injured and the wolves care for it as long as they can, until it would really hold the entire family

Parr has been documenting in Yoho National Park where wolves are killed. People think national parks are where animals are protected, but only five per cent are dying of natural causes. She came across a female earlier in 2012 who was killed by a car. It was sad. As Parr returned to the area she could tell the pack had remained with the dead wolf for quite awhile.

“Then finally in 1996, 30 wolves were reintroduced from Northern Alberta and B.C. into Yellowstone over a two-year period.” American author, scientist, ecologist, forester, and environmentalist Aldo Leopold had been recommending that wolves be reintroduced into Yellowstone since the 1920s, Parr added. Within a few years the trees started growing back. The beavers started returning to the area and everything else has followed them. “Songbirds that hadn’t been seen for more than 50 years returned by themselves, just by the top predator being where it originally belonged.” “It’s been called the ecology of fear, putting the wolves on the landscape is moving the ungulates around.” Another reason wolves contribute to maintaining diversity is when they kill ungulates, they eat as much as they can, and can eat a quarter of their own body weight. “Then they’ll move on. Other predators, like grizzlies or cougars, will usually bury them or guard them. All of those leftovers provide for many other scavengers or predators in the area.” Bringing wolves back to Yellowstone benefited other animals, Parr said. “Where I live in the Rockies, 33 different species are provided for from the leftovers of wolves. In that way they provide food consistently throughout the year, compared to hunting, which is seasonal.” The reintroduction of wolves also cut the coyote population in Yellowstone in half. Without the wolves, the coyote population had exploded. “They started to form packs, which coyotes don’t typically do, but they were trying to fill the niche of wolves. Coyotes and wolves are extremely different behaviourly, genetically similar, but most people don’t recognize the differences.” Coyotes don’t have
the same fear of humans that wolves have. There is still animosity toward wolves, Parr suggested, adding what humans don’t know, they fear and destroy. One state in the U.S. did not hunt wolves and the population increased, but the rates of livestock loss went down 60 per cent because the ranchers were practicing prevention and learning how to live with them. “The neighbouring state in the same two years killed 700 wolves and their livestock loss rate increased by 75 per cent,” Parr said, adding that more than population social dynamics have to be factored in.” Randomly killing wolves can create more problems, she insisted. “We have to remember that we’ve been killing wolves in this province for a long time with bounties and poison programs. We’ve become used to not seeing predators and many people will describe it as an artificially high ungulate population that we’ve become used to as well.” Wolves are returning to the landscape. Some people are thrilled. Others aren’t. “It’s about finding that balance so that there can be some coexistence,” Parr said. Williams recalled an incident as a boy in Courtney in the 1940s. “There was a pickup truck with two dead wolves in the back,” Williams said. “Everybody was going to look because they told us they were the last wolves on Vancouver Island, they’d wiped them out and that was it.” It wasn’t the case. There are lots of wolves now, he added. Parr said her favourite aspect about wolves is their family interactions. “They are incredibly loyal, co-operative and communicate in so many different ways.” The communication is fascinating because it helps their social cohesiveness. “They communicate by howling, they communicate over distance. It helps other packs stay

The Gibraltar Room was packed for the Williams L a k e F i l m French C l u b ’s Connection premiere Diana French of The Blank e t i n g, Trevor Mack’s excellent documentary featuring local actors William Belleau and Don Wise. There was standing room only at the library for David Williams’ presentation of the Wild Horses of the Chilcotin.

According to a May 15, 2013 press release, interested citizens “are encouraged to express their opinions through an online survey on the Williams Lake Brand site (www.mywilliamslake. placebrand.ca).” The site has been up since last summer (I don’t know many who knew about it ) and the city wants “more participation to build on the one-on-one interviews and the variety of opinions” it has already recorded. Are the young professionals who live here already responding to the survey? I got stuck on some questions. “What do you love least about the city?” Hmm. “What three inspirational words would you use to describe living in Williams Lake.” Inspirational? I hope somewhere in the process there will be a public meeting where interested citizens can discuss the issue face-to face with city councillors. Believe it or not some people don’t have computers and, besides, the website isn’t good at answering questions. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune.

B.C. election full of surprises B.C. politics have long been known as the most entertaining in Canada, but this latest election was one of the strangest yet. Three leaders of the four most prominent parties lost their personal campaigns. While voters elected independent Vicki Huntington, leader John Cummins failed to lead the Conservatives to any seats. The Greens elected their first MLA in B.C. history, although leader Jane Sterk failed to beat former NDP leader Carole James. Adrian Dix earned a seat, but his position as NDP leader is in jeopardy after leading his heavily favoured party to three fewer seats than it had when the campaign began.

knowledged to have run a more effective campaign than Dix, who frequently appeared nervous. The Liberal leader might have focused more on campaigning for her party than promoting herself because she fell to her NDP opponent. Clark, who can now continue to remake the party in her own image, is expected to run in a byelection vacated by a successful and loyal Liberal MLA. Clark will have only two Liberal MLAs from Vancouver Island. One of them is Don McRae, who won in the Comox Valley for the second straight election. The popular McRae will almost certainly be in Clark’s cabinet again, likely returning to the highprofile education portfolio. – Black Press

Creating a legacy for residential school victims Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer After unveiling the second of two monuments honouring those lost to and survivors of residential schools, Esk’etemc Chief Fred Robbins looked around to the hundreds of people gathered in Boitanio Park and suggested the challenge now is to create a new legacy. “It’s very interesting that we have an opportunity here. If we don’t continue this relationship the next generation is going to look back at us and ask why we didn’t do something when we had the chance.” Robbins began gathering momentum for a St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School commemorative project a year and a half ago, and began working with local government, the school district, and First Nations leaders. The timing of unveiling a monument at the former school site, and in Boitanio Park, coincided with Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings in Williams Lake and a reunion over the May long weekend of former St. Joseph’s students. “I see many chiefs, many councillors, that are here to participate and bear witness that we’re ready to move forward and build a relationship, and build a new legacy for First Nations people, not one based on mistrust,” Robbins said. “This is the people

If we allow ourselves to put up a monument and say that we’re done we’re just shifting back where we were five years ago. We need to start moving that economic driver that will create something for the First Nations, the regional district, and the mayors.” Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Ann Louie
said even those who have not attended residential school feel the impact. “Our children feel it, our grandchildren feel it. Today and yesterday was the beginning of a very small step in reconciliation between all communities and the residential schools that have impacted our First Nations people,” Louie said.
“There are high numbers of incarceration and low levels of education amongst our First Nations people, and a high number of children in care.” Those are direct results of the impacts of residential schools, she added. “We need to find some way to break that cycle and having our people become healthy. It’s an interesting and long journey,” Louie said. Mayor Kerry Cook said the monuments are both a reminder and a challenge. “They remind us that we have a responsibility to decide how we are going to move forward. I want a city where all people feel welcome and are respected. It’s long overdue.” Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond said the monument remembers those who didn’t survive residential schools, those who did survive, and those who are still striv-

ing to survive. “When a family walks into the park, a child will ask what the monument is about,” Richmond said. “I’m hoping if we do our job right, they’ll have the answer, that they’ll suggest this is something that happened, we want to be sure it never, ever, happens again. Never, can’t, won’t.” By understanding the past, the region can build a future together, Richmond added.

Dirty Knobby and Overlander Cross Country Race
Stags carry sixth seed into provs Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Stags girls rugby team is the sixth ranked team in the province heading into this week’s Provincial Rugby Championships. The Stags begin their tournament Thursday, May 23 against the third seed, Heritage Park, at the UBC Rugby Complex in Vancouver. “We played them last year in our first game at provincials,” said Stags head coach Morley Wilson. “But last year we were the fifth seed and they were the fourth seed, and we had no spares. We lost that game in overtime.” This year, Wilson said his squad is different. “We lost a few key Grade 12s this year but I think our squad is more rounded,” he said. “We have Sheridan Davis (fullback) and Anne Butters (standoff), both in Grade 11, who are the team leaders and they are the key players, but at the same time when they’re not there the other girls step up.” Wilson said part of the key to this year’s success for the Stags has
been the strength of the team’s junior players. The Stags also picked up five players from Columneetza secondary for the season because they didn’t field a team. “Because we’re so young — we only have a couple grade 12s — next year, with the two schools coming together and all of the juniors coming over they’re all going to be in the program for a couple more years,” Wilson said. That said, Wilson added his players hope to close out the season – the last year they’ll play as Stags — on a positive note. “Right from the beginning we set the goal of provincials,” Wilson said. “It’s been on their minds the whole season. But that said it’s a few-year plan. “I said to the girls to not really worry about what the result is this year. If we finish eighth, whatever, we’ve got lots of Grade 8s and lots of Grade 9s and they’re all going to be even better next year after they get some more experience. “It’s a longterm plan. It’s not just the goal for this year, it’s the goal for the next couple of years, and I think we can win it [provincials] in the three years.”

Williams Lake Stags Grade 9 player Emma Pfleiderer blows through a pair of defenders during an exhibition contest in the fall. How the Stags finish at provincials will depend largely on the outcome of their first game. “It’s all that first game,” Wilson said. “If we win our first game we’re in the top four, if we win our second game we’re in the top two. Last year we started fifth and finished fifth because of that first
game.” After Thursday’s tilt with Heritage Park the Stags play again Friday, before playing their final game of the tournament Saturday. “They’re a great bunch of girls,” he said. “They support each other on and off the field, and it’s been a pleasure.”

Children’s Wish Ride goes Sunday, May 26 People can ride, walk or just hang out around the barn and take a horse-drawn wagon ride being offered to support this year’s Children’s Wish Ride, says event organizer Rene Leclerc. The Children’s Wish Ride raises funds to support the B.C. and Yukon Children’s Wish Foundation. The event takes place Sunday, May 26 at the Minton Creek Ranch just one kilometre on the right past the Wildwood Store on Highway 97. The event starts at 9 a.m. and goes all day. There will be a band playing, a silent auction, lunch by donation, and a raffle for a two-
night stay at the Elysia Resort on Quesnel Lake. And of course the main focus of the day will be on those who enjoy horseback riding. There will be two loop trails set up for the event, one four miles long, and one 10 miles long, Leclerc says. He says people who don’t have a horse are also welcome to walk the trails or ride them on a bike.
Last year he says the event raised $6,500 for the Children’s Wish Foundation. The Children’s Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children facing a high-risk, lifethreatening illness or condition. Pledge sheets are also available at Beaver Valley Feeds, Eagleview Equestrian Centre, Cariboo Spurs, and the Trail Riders club.

Council seeks more citizen input on renewed Williams Lake branding process Williams Lake City Council is turning to local residents for more input on the City’s placebrand. Interested citizens are encouraged to share their opinions through an online survey on the Williams Lake Place Brand site – and organizers are hoping to get more participation this time around. The first brand presented featured the tagline “Welcome to the Republic of Life” which was aimed at “thirty-something” people who are looking for a great small town where they can live, work, and raise a family. The concept was meant to be a modern take on the area’s cowboy heritage, and it resonated strongly with the intended audience. However, once it got out into the community it generated a lot of controversy. As a result, Council has decided to go back to the people for more input. Mayor Kerry Cook explains that Williams Lake is competing against many other similar rural cities to attract new residents and new investment. “Attracting more population is important to maintaining and growing existing services and businesses,” she says. “If we’re going to build a sustainable economic future, we absolutely have to find a way to attract young families who will help build entrepreneurial energy and skilled workforce.” Participate in the Williams Lake Place Brand online survey at www.mywilliamslake. placebrand.ca.

sports Cougars claw to silver medal at soccer zones Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer It was an emotional end to a short season as Columneetza secondary girls soccer players donned the school’s Cougars jersey for the final time May 13 at the North Central Zone Soccer Championships in Williams Lake. The Cougars, playing in front of their school after advancing to the tournament final, fell behind 2-1 to the Duchess Park Condors with just minutes remaining in the second half. With time winding down Columneetza wasn’t able to add an equalizer before the final whistle blew. Cougars coach Caitlin Sabatino said the final result was unfortunate, but added the match was well played

Cariboo Youth Soccer League scores: May 12 Cariboo Youth Soccer League teams in Williams Lake got their first taste of home-field advantage May 12 at the Esler Sports Complex, hosting teams from Quesnel, Prince George and 100 Mile House. U12 Girls Williams Lake’s U11 squad downed Prince George Orange 5-2, before falling 2-1 to Prince George Green. U14 Girls Williams Lake’s U12 girls team, playing up a division in U14, fell 3-0 to 100 Mile House and 3-0 to Prince George. U16 Girls Williams Lake’s U14 girls, playing in the U16 girls division, tied Prince George, 0-0, tied 100 Mile House, 1-1. Williams Lake’s U16 girls dominated 100 Mile House 6-0 and beat Prince George 3-0
to complete the weekend sweep. U12 Boys The lakecity’s U12 boys tea was in tough finishing the weekend with one win and one loss. The U12 squad downed Prince George Orange twice — 5-1 and 8-2 — but fell 6-1 to Prince George Green. The Williams Lake U11 boys lost 7-1 to Prince George’s U12 team. U14 Boys Williams Lake lost two games — one to Prince George Green, 6-2, and the other, 2-1, to Prince George White. U16 Boys The Williams Lake U16 boys needed overtime to solve 100 Mile House, winning a tight 2-1 decision Sunday. They were later defeated by Prince George in another tightly-contested contest, 2-1.
it’s so close you wish there was something you could have done differently but the girls left it all out on the field and I’m proud of how they played.” The Condors struck first in the first half on a tight-angled shot setup
by a corner kick. “It was a really nice corner kick that got fed into a girl and then fed back out for a great shot,” Sabatino said. “It was a really tough angle and probably had a 50/50 change of going in or completely
missing the net, but it hooked in and was a good goal on their part.” In the second half Columneetza Grade 10 player Natasha Lewis found the twine, knotting the contest up at one a piece. But with minutes remaining the Condors capitalized on a free kick, after an intentional pass back to their goalkeeper by the Cougars, to put the game on ice. “The girls just wanted to play well, I think, and they did,” Sabatino said. “Especially because it was their home town and in front of their school. We were in tight both games with Duchess.” The Cougars path to the final consisted of a 2-0 loss to the Condors Sunday morning, followed by 4-0 and 3-1 wins over the Nechako Valley Viqueens. Neither the Cougars or the Condors are able to attend the upcoming provincial champion-

ships in Courtenay, however, so a vacant berth from the zone is up for grabs. Sabatino added the future is bright for high school soccer in Williams Lake. “On this year’s team we had about a half dozen grade 10s on the senior team, which is really encouraging,” she said. “There’s a re-
ally good core group of committed Grade 11s and a really good committed core group of grade 10s so when the two schools join next year they should be really competitive. “These girls were a great group to work with and with the juniors coming up next year we should be really strong.”

Local Brownies teamed up with Carla Glessing (left) and Mary Forbes (right) of the Cariboo-Chilcotin Conservation Society to celebrate Earth Day by painting signs/stakes to launch the city’s Golden Lawns campaign. The stakes are planted on lawns that are pesticide and herbicide free and watered by nature.
Golden Lawns designed to protect aquifer The Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society is hoping city residents will follow their lead and let their lawns go golden this summer. “The Golden Lawns Campaign encourages city residents to let their lawns go golden and natural,” says Carla Glessing, the society’s water and waste wise programs community liaison. People participating in the program will have green lawns when Mother Nature waters them (when it rains) and golden lawns when the weather gets hot and dry, Glessing says.
Residents are also encouraged to not use chemical herbicides or pesticides. There are many natural alternatives to chemicals, she says. “Natural lawns protect our rivers and streams from pollution and protect the city’s groundwater aquifer by conserving precious drinking water,” Glessing says. Working with volunteers the conservation society has creative wooden signs for people participating in the program to put on their lawns. Volunteer Pat Teti cut out the
wooden signs in the shapes of honey bees, salmon and salamanders. Then on Earth Day, conservation society staff worked with a Brownie group to paint the signs in bright colours. Lisa Young has provided some pictures) and enjoyed having the girls paint the signs. “We also had a group of Guides paint more signs the following evening,” Glessing says. “The signs look wonderful, the girls did a beautiful job of painting and each sign is a unique creation.” The signs are available to city
residents who have a Golden Lawn. Those with Golden Lawns can pick up a sign and post it on their lawn. “It is hoped that the signs will encourage their neighbours and friends to do the same,” Glessing says. “If people are interested in acquiring a sign they can contact the conservation society at 250398-7929. Also watch for the signs to be available for pick-up at city hall or the Cariboo Growers in the near future.

Secwepemc elders video and storybook launch Friday The community is invited to see for themselves some new teaching tools created for Secwepemc schools by elders. The storybook and video creations by Secwepemc elders will be presented at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake Friday, May 24 from 6 to 8 p.m. The video features interviews with elders sharing their thoughts on aging and highlights the importance of traditional activities and practices, said Isadore
Phillips, the project’s northern research coordinator in announcing the event. The storybook seeks to show children how to develop positive relationships with elders experiencing memory loss. Elders participating in the Culturally Safe Dementia Care (CSDC) research project told the researchers from Thompson Rivers University and Interior Health that they would like to create a video and storybook that they could share with chil-
dren and youth to teach them about what it is like to grow old and experience memory loss. It is hoped that these teaching tools can help to strengthen relationships between elders and youths. “This is a meaningful project and I was glad that I was part of it!” said Jean William, an elder advisor on the project. The researchers facilitated the project by hiring two young First Nations artists, Karlene Harvey and Trevor Mack, to create the vid-
eo and storybook with Secwepemc Elders. “Hearing the stories from Secwepemc Elders provided me with such a rich understanding of the people from this Nation, their territory and what it means to take care of elders as a community,” Harvey said. “The storybook evolved from the meaningful conversations that both Trevor and I had with the elders interviewed and we are so thankful for the opportunity to learn from them what it means to
be Secwepemc.” “May 24 is the culmination of all of the hard work by the elders, artists and researchers,” Phillips said. “We invite you to come celebrate with us and honor the stories from the elders. Tea and snacks will be provided.” Similar events are also being planned in Adams Lake and Skeetchestn. For more information please contact Jessica Gates, the CSDC Research Assistant at 250-852-6393.
SPCA reunites wandering cat with owners after three months After three months of wandering Simon is now back home safe and sound thanks to a kind person who brought him to the Williams Lake SPCA. Tammy Hurrie and her family had been missing their cat Simon since early February, reports the
Tuesday, May 21, 2013 Williams Lake Tribune
SPCA. Many posts on Facebook had been posted but there was no luck finding the cat. Then a lovely neutered male orange and white cat had been brought up to the Williams lake SPCA. Upon arrival a staff
member remembered seeing a post on Facebook’s Williams Lake Purge and Indulged that Tammy was missing her beloved cat Simon. The SPCA contacted Tammy who arrived very quickly to discover that it was indeed Simon.
We found out he traveled at least 20 kilometres away from his home and had been missing for almost three months. Simon was happy as
always but had shed a few pounds and was a little dirty, but all in all he was healthy. Simon was very happy to see his family.
