Williams Lake firefighter Trevor Schick carries a loaded hose toward a wooden target during the firefighter’s challenge Sunday at the Williams Lake Fire Hall. Firefighters packed a hose up a flight of stairs, ran back down, hammered a cement block several feet, walked around a set of pylons, shot a target with a loaded hose, then carried a 180-pound dummy across the finish line. Schick finished in one minute and 34 seconds. The Williams Lake Fire Department hosted the challenge as part of its open house festivities throughout the day Sunday.
The Williams Lake RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance in the theft of an outdoor wood furnace stolen from a property on Cave Road in Horsefly. Sometime during April up until May 6, a large furnace with “Champion Series” and “Wood Doctor” logo displayed on the front was stolen.

City chosen for performance audits Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake is one of six municipalities that will participate in an audit of local government performance in managing policing agreements and police budget oversight. The audit is one of several announced last Wednesday by Basia Ruta, B.C.’s auditor general for local government (AGLG). They are the first performance audits the new office will undertake. A number of considerations went into picking Williams Lake and the other five municipalities — Port Alberni, Surrey, Merritt, Victoria and New Westminster — for the policing agreement audits. For municipalities that rely on policing service from the RCMP there are two types distinguished by the cost share agreements they have with the federal government. “We picked two that were between 5,000 and 15,000 and then we picked two that were greater than 15,000, and then we picked
two municipalities that have their own independent municipal police departments,” Mark Tatchell, deputy auditor general, told the Tribune Friday. The other factor was to ensure there was a geographical distribution. “That’s really how we got to picking those particular locations,” he added. They are performance, not financial audits, and it may turn out that some of the cities being audited are doing a great job of managing its policing agreements, Tatchell insisted. Audits might also reveal areas where cities can contain costs or make some savings, information that would be valuable for municipalities. “If there are municipalities that are doing an excellent job, that’s something we want to share with other municipalities.” When asked to define “oversight,” Tatchell said it’s being used in terms of governance to review the monetary reviewing of the policing budgets.
In February, the AGLG held an audit planning workshop with senior staff from local governments across the province and worked through a series of audit themes and topics. “Representatives from local governments ranked the topics in terms of relevance, significance and risk,” Tatchell said. “Then we surveyed every local government in the province with 27 audit topics and they were asked to rank them.” The ranking was not solely about risk either, but also about things that are important to local governments. Director of finance for Williams Lake Pat Higgins confirmed that no one from Williams Lake participated in the planning workshop, however, 60 per cent of local governments, including Williams Lake, responded to a survey, which the AGLG considered a “pretty good return.” “We also conducted a media scan of local government issues over the last few years in the province and we received correspon-
dence from citizens,” Tatchell said. They looked at relative legislation and also received requests from local governments to conduct audits. “All of that went into identifying our audit themes. We had six broad themes and those were published in our service plan at the end of March and then the next step was to identify more specific audit topics.” The topics, Tatchell added, are completely derived from local governments themselves. “These have not been picked out of thin air.” Policing costs for 2012 in Williams Lake totalled $3.8 million, which represents 23 per cent of the total general fund operating budget. “Three million was budgeted for the RCMP costs under the municipal police unit agreement. The remainder $800,000 was the city’s cost for operational support, safer community program, victim services and watch clerks,” Higgins explained in an e-mail.

Public consultation on backyard hens and bees The public is invited to provide feedback to the City of Williams Lake as it considers whether to amend bylaws to allow the keeping of hens and bees on single family and duplex residential properties. Throughout the legislative and consultation process, hens and bees bylaws will be considered separate. Surveys on hens and bees that seek opinions on urban hen and beekeeping as well as feedback on some of the proposed regulations are available on the City’s website at www. williamslake.ca. Two public information sessions for each of hens and bees will also be held on the following dates: Hens: June 11, 2013, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm and June 19, 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm. Bees: June 12, 2013, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm and June 17, 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm. The goal of these sessions is to provide as much information as possible so that residents who wish to provide feedback at the public hearing stage may do so by way of written submission or survey. A public hearing, as required pursuant to the Local Government Act, will be held near the end of the bylaw consideration processes, should Council decide to proceed to that point. The public hearing is the time to make submissions for and against a proposal. E-mail submissions of questions are welcome at this stage. Residents are asked to separate comments on either beekeeping or hen keeping by sending messages to: hen@williamslake.ca or bee@williamslake.ca.

On May 7, another 45,000-gallon tank arrived and was mounted to a Terex MT 4400 haul truck at the Gibraltar Mine.
Gigantic water tank moves at snail’s pace to Gibraltar Mine Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A 45,000-gallon water tank reached its final destination at Taseko’s Gibraltar Mine north of Williams Lake early Friday.
The tank was being transported by a 240 ton payload MT 4400 haul truck and had come all the way from Wyoming. The tank is approximately 24 feet wide by 16 feet high, and much
larger than the original tank used on site that it will replace. It’s the second water tank to be hauled to the mine by Taseko in a month. On May 7 another 45,000 gallon tank was
mounted to a Terex MT 4400 haul truck at the mine site. Once the new water trucks are put to work they will reduce the amount of time it takes to water active haul truck routes.
“This will not only improve productivity, but more importantly, reduce the dust onsite and improve safety,” Taseko-Gibraltar noted in an e-mail. The tank was custom built by Mine Rite
Technologies and will be installed in an old haul truck that has had the dump box removed. On Thursday evening the tank was waiting at the truck turnout just north of Williams Lake, with its depar-
ture scheduled for 12:30 a.m. Friday morning. It was anticipated that it would arrive at the mine by 2 a.m. Traffic was controlled at intervals to accommodate the wide load’s transport.
Board to choose new name for combined secondary school tonight Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer The School District 27 board has called a special open meeting for tonight with one item on the agenda, finalizing a name for the new combined secondary school in Williams Lake. Starting in September the Columneetza and Williams Lake secondary schools will be operated as one school on two campuses. During their regular meeting held in 100 Mile House May 28 the board decided on names for the individual campuses. Columneetza will become the Western
campus after the street on which it is located and for the prominent lakecity resident for which the street was originally named. WLSS will become the Carson campus named for the street on which it is located and the lakecity resident for whom the street was originally named. Through a process of elimination which involved voting by a board sub-committee, and a survey of grades six to 12 students, superintendent Mark Thiessen says the board has narrowed the long list of names originally suggested by the public down to three finalists which
will be voted on tonight. During the 100 Mile House meeting, he said the board also added another name of its own choosing to the list of finalists. That name is Lake City Secondary which had not been previously suggested. Thiessen says the rationale for the name is that Williams Lake has long been known as the Lake City since it has been developed around the shores of Williams Lake. The other two finalists are Cariboo Central Secondary and Cariboo Crossroads Secondary. The rationale for Crossroads signifies the intersection of the
highways in Williams Lake and that secondary school students are considered to be at a crossroads in their lives. The two present schools are also joining to become one school, which also signifies that the district is at a crossroads. The rationale for Cariboo Central Secondary is that it is a regional name since Williams Lake is often seen to be the centre of the Cariboo between 100 Mile House and Quesnel. More than 30 names were originally suggested for the new middle/secondary school including keeping the former names
of Columneetza and WLSS or a combination of the two names. Some names on the original list of public submissions were funny or reflected the region and activities, names such as: Hogwarts; Hugwarts; Two Wolves; Stampeder’s; T’exelc; Prosperity, Cougar; Rushing River, River Valley, Valley Heights, Signal Point, Gold Dust; Rocky Point, Gold Trail, Taseko; CaribooChilcotin Revival; and Rustlers. Numerous names were submitted honouring prominent community members, both living and late including: Rick Hansen, Carey Price,
Rudy Johnson, Martin Hamm, William Turkel, William Pinchbeck, Faye Moore, Gabe Pinette, Hazel Huckvale, Chief William and Anne Mackenzie Stevenson. Anne Stevenson is the name of a former junior seondary school in Williams Lake which is now Thompson Rivers University. Under the joint management structure for the new combined secondary school on two-campuses the Western campus will be primarily for grades 7, 8 and 9 students. The Carson campus will be primarily for grades 10, 11, and 12 students.
Starting in September Grade 7 will be moved out of elementary schools in the Williams Lake area and be relocated to the Western campus. This means that for this September, during the transition phase, students now in grades 6 and 7 at local elementary schools will all be moving up to the Western campus starting in September. An orientation session for Grade 6 students going into Grade 7 was held at the Western campus Monday evening. An orientation session for Grade 7 students going into Grade 8 will be held at the Western campus tonight.

RCMP awards a first for Williams Lake: Brown Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The RCMP recognized community policing volunteers, a youth probation officer, and some of its own employees at a ceremony held in Williams Lake Thursday at city hall chambers. Twenty-three people were honoured, including retired Sgt. Morris Monita, who received a 35-year certificate for service, and the late Auxiliary Const. Ed Moxey, whose certificate of appreciation was accepted by his son, Danny Moxey. “The award for Sgt. Monita accompanies his previously presented long service in good conduct medal with gold class,” Staff Sgt. Major Doug Pack, North District Command explained. Retired Corp. Lorne Lazzarotto presented Moxey’s award. Moxey was one of the first auxiliary members Lazzarotto met. “He started in 1963 and was with the first group of auxiliaries who served in Williams Lake. His day job was working with the BC Forest Service as a radio technician,” Lazzarotto said, adding after Moxey retired from being an auxiliary he also spent time volunteering in the RCMP guard room. “I think Ed was the conscience of the force in Williams Lake,” he recalled. “We would discuss different situations and he would give us advice on how we should handle them.” “I think the auxiliary program really mushroomed in Williams Lake,” he said, adding one spinoff is that Moxey’s grand daughter is an RCMP member in Prince George. It was the first time the RCMP in Williams Lake have held a recognition ceremony. Other recipients were: Derrick Stratton, Wayne Lucier,
Michael Lucas, Kelly Call, Andy Sullivan, Bob McIntosh, Bobby Sunner, Rodney Hawkins, John Warkentin, Glenn Ford, Andy Walsh, Keith Jones, Robert Crosina, Craig Kennedy, Janet Moore, John Pilszek, Dave Dickson, Nancy Brissard, Const. Michelle Ballantyne, Const. Eric Black and Const. Dan Hay. Pack said the awards recognized commitment and service. “The awards are a way to say thank you and recognize service,” Pack said. “It’s a little way to give back to our membership and our volunteers. Long service medals are the country’s way of saying thank you and it does a lot to enhance the moral and build esprit de corps of an organization like ourselves.” Mayor Kerry Cook congratulated the recipients as “unsung heroes.” “I would like to acknowledge the leadership of Inspector Brown for planning this ceremony. It’s not every day that we get to join together as a community to acknowledge and say thank you.” It takes a lot of different people to make a community, she added. Chief Superintendent Rod Booth, District Commander North District, said it was a great day for Williams Lake, B.C. and for Canada. “It’s like chicken soup for my soul,” Booth said. “Thanks for all you do,” he told the recipients. Booth also acknowledges the contributions of families present. “You’re the ones who live vicariously behind the scenes. You’re the ones who have to represent the family at missed occasions, birthday parties and other gatherings.” Families of auxiliaries, RCMP members,

and volunteers are the ones who worry at home when a loved one goes out and puts themselves in harm’s way, especially at night when others are sleeping peacefully at home. “For the regular members we all are assigned a regimental number when we join the RCMP, it’s a unique special number, and I’d liked to say the spouses and partners of our members are the members without regimental numbers,” Booth said. He said he calls the auxiliary officers the “ultimate” volunteers because they go out and put themselves in harm’s way for free without sidearms. “It’s like chicken soup for my soul coming out to events like these,” Booth added. Insp. Warren Brown said the recipients are all very worthy people. “This is not an allinclusive list. There were many people that we didn’t mention tonight that are an attribute to all that we do, but hopefully we’ll have more of these in the future.” His detachment, he said, is comprised of “very keen and dedicated” young members who share a passion for “doing the right thing.” Guards often don’t
receive recognition for working in the windowless, hot and sweaty, “bowels of the detachment,” often with very miser-
able people, Brown said, in reference to Warkentin who he said works in one of the “busiest cell blocks in the prov-
ince.” More than 100 people volunteer with the community policing, Brown said, and often go unnoticed.
“We have a robust group of employees, volunteers and people who are engaged in policing in this community,” he added.

NEWS Vandals destroy flag pole gracing Signal Point cliff Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Someone has wrecked the pole and stolen the Canadian flag on top of Signal Point in Williams Lake. Murray McMillam lives below the point and installed the initial flag there four years ago. He has replaced it a few times in the last while. “I walk up there often and noticed the wind really blows up there and thought it would be a good place for a
flag,” McMillan said Sunday. Three weeks ago he noticed the flag pole was bent over and the flag was gone. He replaced it and within a week the same thing had happened again. Now he’s fabricated a 16 foot metal pole, larger in diameter than the original one, but said he will need some help transporting it up to the top of the point.

Murray McMillan has installed Canadian flags on the top of Signal Point in Williams Lake but recently someone has destroyed them.
Suspicious drug overdoses a concern Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Provincial Health Office Dr. Perry Kendall has advised emergency physicians, first responders, and other health-care workers to be watchful for potential overdoses associated with the drug fentanyl. “Since 2011 there have been nine fentanyl-related deaths in the Interior Health region, and one to date in 2013,” Dr. Kendall told the Tribune, although he did not want to specify any further where exactly those overdoses occurred. Provincially the BC Coroners Service’s preliminary numbers suggest that there have been 23 deaths related to fentanyl in the first four months of 2013, as compared to 20 related deaths in all of 2012. When fentanyl has been sold on the street in other jurisdictions, many people died from unexpected overdoses. During a 2006 fentanyl epidemic in Chicago, 342 people died. “We haven’t put out
a warning specifically for fentanyl before,” Kendall said, but the concern is that it showing up more and more in overdoses. “There has been concern for a couple of years about prescription drugs being diverted onto the streets. There was a lot of concern of oxycodone being diverted, especially in Ontario, and less so here in B.C.” There were some stories of fentanyl being diverted in other parts of Canada, but recently the Vancouver Police seized “substantial quantities” of clandestinely illicitly produced fentanyl, he explained. Fentanyl is “extremely” stronger than heroin. If users are used to injecting a certain amount of heroin powder and inject the same amount of fentanyl, they will be taking “many many” times the dosage normally taken, hence the risk of overdose, Kendall explained. “While the Provincial Health Officer always advises against the use of illicit drugs,
people who do take illicit drugs should not use alone, and should inject slowly. “Call 9-1-1 at the first sign of distress, such as trouble breathing or loss of consciousness. People handling illicit
drugs should use extreme caution, as fentanyl can be absorbed through mucous membranes and can cause severe adverse reactions and even death,” a press release from the PHO’s office noted.

Think of the fun
New tobacco marketing tricks addicts
A
public meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday in council chambers where, to quote Mayor Kerry Cook, “the purpose of branding, the process followed to date and next steps will be outlined.” The public has been invited to participate in another survey. Whether the meeting will be a “we’ll listen to what you have to say” or a “we’ll tell you how it’s going to be” remains to be seen. My question is why council chose a regional brand when the city itself has so many attractions. Few cities have a lake French on their Connection doorDiana French s t e p, and few our size have a university. No council in my memory has paid much attention to the lake, but hopefully the beach will be feces-free this summer. The university is relatively new, and if we must change, why not be a university city? Thompson Rivers University’s Williams Lake Campus (TRU North) has a progressive executive director, Dr. Ray Sanders; a state-of-the art building; a top notch staff; and room to grow. A university-centred community would be environmentally and economically sustainable, politically correct and would attract the young professionals council covets. A group, TRU Grit, headed by local businessman Brian Garland, is promoting the university and has taken first steps by raising money for bursaries and scholarships. The possibilities to move forward are exciting, and will probably happen anyway, but community support would speed things up. A political champion or two wouldn’t hurt either. Think of the fun we could have branding. “Williams Lake, Home of the TRU North,” or, “Come to Williams Lake for the TRU Story.” Or ... ? Why all the kerfuffle over Senator Mike Duffy and so little about the robo calls during the last federal election? Isn’t interference with the democratic election process as newsworthy as an alleged greedyguts senator? Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Our Viewpoint
Elect Senate or abolish it In the minds of many Canadians, the purpose of the Canadian Senate is a bit of a mystery. It’s a body that’s not elected, what it accomplishes is less than clear, and news about it only erupts when politicians talk about reform, or more recently, when senators play fast and loose with the purse strings of taxpayers. The original purpose of the Senate was to give a sober second thought to bills passed by elected Members of Parliament, and, according to its website, to bolster underrepresented groups, such as women, aboriginal people and minorities. As well intentioned as the Senate was when created in 1867, today the body is effectively a patronage system for the ruling party to reward loyal and often high-profile Canadians with prestigious well-paid jobs. A more cynical interpretation is the Senate acts as no more than a slush fund to carry out political favours. This week B.C. Premier Christy Clark reiterated her stance that the Senate should be abolished. She said if that’s not possible, B.C. will start electing its senators in an attempt to bring some validity to the

body which cost Canadians $106 million in 2012 (minus the $90,000 paid back by senator Mike Duffy). Prime Minister Stephen Harper has long advocated reforming Senate terms and appointment procedures, or even doing away with it altogether. That hasn’t stopped Harper from appointing 56 Conservative senators (and two elected in Alberta) over his time in office. If Parliament can’t abolish the Senate or it accepts that it has a reason to exist, change is desperately needed. Does it make sense that New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have 10 senators each and Quebec has 24, while Alberta has six and B.C. has five? For the Senate to have credibility, rather than act as a vehicle for patronage and self-serving party loyalty, each province should have an equal number of elected senators, perhaps two or four each. Senators themselves should not be sitting silent, and should be seeking to reform an institution that has no accountability or credibility in terms of working in the interests of Canadians. - Victoria News

This year’s theme was “Ban tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship.” Tobacco advertising bans aim to counteract the misleading information used in marketing campaigns and also strive to prevent youth from being exposed to the lure of tobacco advertising. Sadly, only six per cent of the world’s populations is protected from exposure to tobacco industry advertising tactics. In Canada, the Tobacco Act aims to protect the health of Canadians by regulating tobacco advertising, restricting access to tobacco products and increasing public awareness of the health hazards of using tobacco products. The Tobacco Products Labelling Regulations require that tobacco product labels include health warning messages covering 75 per cent of the front and back of the packaging of cigarettes. Health information messages such as “never quit trying to quit” are required to be included inside the packaging and a Canadian quit line number must also be provided to link smokers with cessation services in their province. Because most tobacco users begin before the age of 14 it is important to ensure our youth are not exposed to tobacco promotions. The Tobacco Act prohibits tobacco marketing directed at youth but despite this, the tobacco industry remains aggressive in promoting tobacco products to youth in new and clever ways. Flavoured products and colourful packaging have recently been used to attract youth to tobacco products. Many youth equate these products to candy, rather than seeing them as harmful and addictive tobacco products. Flavours appeal to kids because they reduce the unpleasant odour and disguise the bad taste of tobacco. Let’s support and drive national efforts to protect future generations so they can live, work and play in a smoke free world. Cheryl Sidenberg is a Tobacco Reduction Coordinator with Interior Health.

Irresponsible adults at fault Gov’t needs to Editor:
You published a letter from Delores Perreault where she outlined her concern and sympathies with Jamie Haller and the brutality of the officer of the law who is being paid by us,
the general public, to uphold the law. Was Delores a witness to the officer’s said brutal treatment of Jamie Haller? Now there are two sides to every story. Incidents of alcohol and drug abuse by children
under the legal age of 18 are the norm, not isolated incidents. It is the fault of irresponsible adults that the abuse of alcohol has mushroomed and that under 18 aged children end up in very dangerous situations. We need to get to the bottom
of this and society’s destruction by a minority of lawless, greedy, money hungry, irresponsible destroyers of one great civilization. Bill McFarlan Williams Lake
Conservatives damaging to small business Editor: MP Richard Harris talks a lot about the federal budget, but he has been noticeably silent on its hidden tax increases on small business — so Liberal MPs are speaking up. Small businesses and the people who work in them are the lifeblood of our communities — every year they create half of all new jobs in Canada and account for 40 per cent of our
GDP. Their success is critical to getting local economies moving again. Yet in the budget, the Conservatives are hitting small business owners with a tax increase that will cost them more than $2.3 billion over the next five years. The government is once again choosing to hike taxes — not lower them. This comes on top of another Conservative hike to payroll
taxes — their third Employment Insurance premium increase so far — charges that are literally a tax on hiring more workers. The budget also risks undermining rural entrepreneurs’ access to capital by raising taxes on credit unions, making it tougher for them to compete against the big banks. All of these changes make it more expensive to own and run your own business.
As a former small business owner myself, I understand some of the challenges facing community shops, restaurants, cafes and other businesses. That’s why Liberals want government to be a thoughtful advocate for small businesses — and not to hinder them by adding to their tax burden. Joyce Murray, MP Liberal Party of Canada Critic for Small Business
Support and encouragement appreciated Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came by The Great Room’s open house. My heart was truly touched
by all the support and encouragement. Also a big thank you to all the brave people who came out to show their support with the butterfly tattoos at Exposed Expressions
And thanks to all the Angels (you know who you are) who give financially and their time to the Great Room. Matthew 25:40 says: “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for the least of these brothers
and sisters of mine, you did for me.” With a grateful heart. Dina Kennedy LHM co-ordinator 150 Mile House
hear about victims’ bill of rights Editor: On Feb. 4, 2013, the Minister of Justice announced the Government of Canada’s intention to move forward with legislation to create a victim bill of rights. The Government of Canada is seeking the views of stakeholders representing provincial and territorial governments, a variety of sectors within the criminal justice system, civil society, victims of crime and the public. The government needs to hear from you also. Please consider participating in this important consultation for a victims’ bill of rights. Your views are important.

Rebranding does not address employment opportunities Editor: I see the city is again flogging a dying horse, the horse called rebranding. The city has racked up a lot of money on this very sick creature and now must attempt to keep the sucker pulling on the plow even if it requires giving rebranding mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Reading the city’s Step-Ahead advertising, Mayor Kerry Cook is explaining that the city is competing against other similar communities for the so called 30-something people that might be looking for a great, small town. Williams Lake’s real western heritage is the reason many currently live here, and the reason
Letters aLways weLcome
many consider Williams Lake a great little town. It’s the overall community personality that counts, not facelifts, it’s time to quit insulting the existing populace. Rebranding is only a face-lift, astute people recognize that a face-lift may make things look and sound different. However, behind the rebranded façade Williams Lake is still the same former entity. Come on, let’s get real, if we want to attract 30-something aged people to come and live in Williams Lake, we have to be talking employment opportunities. Borrowing the words of former President George H.W. Bush, “Read my Lips” that’s employment opportunities.
The city would be far better off spending money attracting industry, in conjunction with our local university. Why are we not studying how to get more value from our natural occurring forest products, high quality lumber and plywood comes from high quality raw material, what are we doing to improve this quality, can more be done? Could we not as well, be studying how to improve our grasslands, where reducing the amount of water required, could save ranchers hundreds of thousands of dollars in watering costs, and infrastructure? A little further out, both east and west there are available large un-capitalized deciduous forests. Williams Lake’s central loca-
tion might possibly support an Oriented Strand Board, OSB, factory. A few years back Williams Lake was considered for a Medium Density Board factory. Tourism is another local industry that could use developmental research. An investment, and support of university research, rather than rebranding could lead to a much greater reward for Williams Lake. Developing good research projects at our university will attract 30-something aged people but, as well, will help keep our young people living in Williams Lake and could lead to whole new industries, forget re-branding.

Sharing their locks to the power of three Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer When eight-yearold Elizabeth Van Immerzeel told her mom she might like to get her long hair cut, mom Cheryl thought perhaps her daughter could donate her hair to a cause. After doing some research, Cheryl discovered Wigs for Kids BC, and learned donations of hair can be used to make wigs for children dealing with cancer. “I told Elizabeth that sometimes children lose hair when being treated for cancer,” Cheryl said. Once Elizabeth committed, Cheryl decided she’d donate her hair, and then little sister Zadie-Lynn, 3, piped up she wanted her hair cut too. Normally wigs cost about $2,000 each to

make, however, if hair is donated, it can bring the cost down to as low as $800. The Van Immerzeels have been fundraising in their neighbourhood at Miocene, and have raised almost
$800, but because between the three of them they will have quite a bit, they are hoping to raise enough for two wigs. Smiling Cheryl said her husband has never seen her with short
Outdoor activities your new free gym It’s like having a free gym pass and a healthy environment all in one, says Williams Lake Environmental Society air quality educator Tammy Keetch. During National Environment Week, June 2 to 8, Keetch is encouraging residents in the Cariboo to lace up, oil that bike chain, carpool, take transit or work from home. She also suggests people look for ways to share, shorten or change their commute so they can spend less time alone in a car. “Be ‘in the know’ by carpooling with coworkers or friends,” she adds. “Or take transit where you can finally finish that novel, clean out your inbox, or make a new friend. By walking or riding your bike to work, your commute can be your new (free) gym.” Motor vehicles create more air pollution
than any other single human activity, she adds. “In Williams Lake the air pollutant of special concern for our health is called particulate matter (PM 2.5 & 10) of which vehicle exhaust is a contributor.” If everyone in Canada chose an environmentally friendly form of transportation one day a week, vehicle emissions would be reduced by 20 per cent. Using active transportation is one way to help keep our air clean. Keetch lists several ways that workers can take part in a commuter challenge. In many cities across Canada there are friendly competitions through the week or on Clean Air Day, June 5. People can sign on at www.commuterchallenge.ca to record sustainable commute(s). The website will
calculate emission reduction impacts, calorie consumption, distance, and fuel cost savings. In 2011, the Canadian Automobile Association estimated that driving 18,000 km per year costs an average of $8,441.25 or 46.9 cents per kilometre for a Cobalt LT. It is also estimated that transportationrelated emissions will cost the health care system $11 billion to $38 billion between 1997 and 2020, predicted the Transportation Association of Canada in 1998. Keetch says it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. “Focus on how good you will feel if you do walk or ride. Find a bike buddy near you. Bike to work or ride on the weekends. Make a goal to ride to work once a week, or if that’s too far, to run easy errands by bike or foot.”
hair. On Tuesday Cheryl made appointments for them on June 6, and said Zone 4 in Wil-
liams Lake is donating the cuts. The wigs are made in Vancouver at Eva’s Wigs, said Wigs for Kids BC chairperson Bev Friesen. When a child loses hair to cancer or other serious illnesses and chooses to get a wig, Eva’s will measure the child’s head and discuss length and colour. It usually takes about four weeks to make the wig. The wigs are paid for through the fundraising efforts of Wigs for Kids. Wigs for Kids started in 2006 when some good friends got together and realized they had a common goal. It is a “stand alone” program out of BC Children’s Hospital,
run by volunteers with no overhead costs, Friesen said, adding 100 per cent of funds raised go to help these kids and their families. “Besides providing wigs for kids throughout BC we also help families with the costs of feeding supplies and certain meds not
covered by the government. We have helped over 500 kids and their families since we started the program in 2006.” Cheryl said if anyone in the community wants to donate, she will be accepting donations for a few more weeks.

Seiberts off to blazing start Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer For most people, owning five cars of any variety would probably be considered overkill. For the father, son racing tandem of Trevor Seibert and Ryley Seibert, 21 — who are both racing in the nationwide NASCAR Canadian Tire Series — that’s just another day in paradise. “In our garage right now we’ve got my dad’s oval car and his road course car, then we have my oval car and my road course car, then I have my ASA OK Tire Sportsman Series car,” Ryley said. “It [NASCAR Canadian Tire Series] takes a lot of attention, so it gets attention. We have five cars in our stable right now.” Trevor and Ryley are coming off the first event of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, the Vortex Brake Pads 200, at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park near Bowmanville, Ont., May 19. There, Trevor cracked the top 10 in ninth, while Ryley finished 11th out of 28 cars. “It was awesome,” Ryley said. “It’s probably the fastest track in Canada and probably one of the most legendary, scary tracks. It’s got big elevation changes, it’s scary. Turn two is one of the most famous turns in all of motor sports because it’s blind, it’s downhill, it’s off camber and it’s really fast so it was a cool experi-

ence.” Ryley raced one event in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series in 2011 and four more the following year. This year he plans to race seven — his busiest season yet. “You have to run more than four races in a year to no longer be a rookie,” Ryley said. “So this is my rookie contention year, and I want to win rookie of the year.” “I’ve got a good lead on the other rookie after the first race, so I’m in pretty good shape so far.” He said both his cars and his dad’s cars are better suited for making a run at the podium this year. “I’m definitely more confident,” Ryley said. “A couple years ago we knew my equipment I was in was lacking so I just went out and got used to running with those kinds of cars and those guys but as far as this year goes I’m fairly confident in my skills and my
abilities and we’ve stepped up our program with our equipment and I think I’m in line to podium or even win a race this year so hopefully we get that done.” Having his dad around for all those years to teach him the ins and outs of the mechanical side of the sport has also paid dividends, he said. “We’re teammates so it’s nice to have somebody with that much experience ready to talk about driving and stuff like that,” Ryley said. “We kind of started at the same time. He’d retired for a while then bought his own team and that same year we bought my street stock and I started racing in Williams Lake.” Ryley joined as a member of his dad’s pit crew that year just as he was building his own street stock car. “Over the years I’ve gone through the levels and caught up
to him here where we’re at now,” Ryley said. “The bonus I have is I’ve been working on these cars since 2007 now so I know them in and out and I know the setup and I’m fluent in all of that. “The information I like to get from him is driving techniques, driving lines, driving information and things like that. I’ve even been known to help him out a time or two with his stuff in his car giving him advice so, I think, maybe he’s as little surprised by that. He always had the mentality that I wasn’t going to be one of those spoiled kids that just got to get in a car and go. I needed to learn the mechanics, I needed to work on it. “It turned out it’s been a huge benefit to know how to build your own car.” Aside from attempting to win rookie of the year Ryley has also set his sights on picking up a podium finish and garnering the checkered flag in each race he competes at. He’s also racing in a few select events of the ASA OK Tire Sportsman Series. His last event in Williams Lake May 25 saw Ryley finish seventh; however, a timing error lowered his result. “It’s my busiest season so far,” he said. “I’ll be travelling all over Canada and B.C. with this year’s racing program.” Coming up next for the father, son duo is the EMCO 200 at the Delaware Speedway in Delaware, Ont. June 15.

Shogun martial artists qualify for worlds

Dirty Knobby fun for all ages
Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Five members of Williams Lake’s Shogun Martial Arts Academy recently represented Team B.C. in Ottawa at the World Karate and Kickboxing Council National Championships. Macy Lainchbury, Tanna Lauriente, Tracey Beauchamp, Kurtis Olson and Jaime Lumbria qualified to represent the team joining many of the top martial artists from around the country May 17-19 at the tournament, each competing in various events and weight classes. Tanna, 16, earned two bronze medals in both continuous and point fighting, qualifying her for the WKC World Championships in Italy in October. “Other competitors came up to us and said they couldn’t believe how much she had improved last year,” said WLSMA Sensei LeeAnn Lainchbury. “She was impressive.” Macy, 11, competed in point fighting, finishing sixth. Macy was also named as an alternate to Team Canada for the upcoming world championships. For Olson, 15, a couple close decisions went against him in continuous fighting, Lee-Ann said. “[Sensei] Sheldon (Lainchbury) and I both thought he scored enough points to win both of his fights,” Lee-Ann said. “But unfortunately the judges called it the other way.” Jaime picked up a bronze medal in point fighting, earning him a spot at worlds. “He is a Shogun adoptee as he was not actually a member of our club before nationals,” Lee-Ann said. “But he is from the Williams Lake area and qualified at provincials.” Tracey, 18, was

awarded two gold medals — one in continuous fighting and another in point fighting. Unfortunately for Tracey, Lee-Ann said, the wins were uncontested as no one entered in the class. Tracey also finished seventh in kata. “She did really well
for competing at her first nationals,” LeeAnn said. The martial arts academy said it would like to thank its sponsors Dairy Queen and Windsor Plywood, and everyone else who supported its fundraisers leading up to nationals.

Ride Don’t Hide for CMHA this June 23 Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer On June 23 cyclists in 14 communities in B.C. will come together to ‘Ride Don’t Hide.’ Inspired by Michael Schratter — a Vancouver school teaching living with bipolar disorder who, in 2010, cycled 40,000 kilometres around the globe raising $100,000 for the Canadian Mental Health Association — Ride Don’t Hide aims
to support better mental health for women and families. CMHA branches across the province have pledged to recruit more than 7,000 cyclists and raise $400,000 for mental health programs on June 23, when riders in Williams Lake can meet for a scenic ride along the Williams Lake River Valley Trail. “Locally we’re trying to raise $15,000,” said Darlene Doskoch, manager of employ-
ment and social programs for the CMHA - Cariboo Chilcotin Branch. “All of that money stays here in CMHA in our community, so it will go towards programs that support women and their families.” This is the first year the Shoppers Drug Mart Ride Don’t Hide event is being held in different locations across the province. Last year’s inaugural event was hosted in
Vancouver. Trevor Barnes, executive director of the CMHACCB, said the ride is completely noncompetitive and will accommodate all riders and levels of skill. He added he hopes many individuals and families come enjoy a ride throughout the day. “We’re going to start at the bottom parking lot in the River Valley,” Barnes said. “It’s close to a 10-kilometre round trip to the [Fraser] river
and back, but that said people can go as far or as short of a distance as they want. “We’ll have a smaller run there for the younger children and families. And we’ll have stations on the trail.”
Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed, another one of the event’s sponsors, will have a shop setup on site to help anyone having bike problems. There will also be a food vendor and other associations
on hand. Registration is available online at www.ridedonthide.com. Visit www.facebook. com/RideDontHide or twitter.com/ridedonthide for more information.

Hearing loss: the invisible disability Barb Doedel Special to The Tribune Hearing loss has been called an invisible disability because it is not easily identified as a person in a wheelchair, or a blind person with a cane. A 2002 study stated that more than one million adults across Canada indicated they had a hearing loss. It has been suggested that the number could be closer to $3 million because many people are reluctant to admit they have hearing difficulties and don’t seek help or don’t know where to go. Some people are also unaware they have hearing loss, until family or friends tell them. It has been reported that 50 per cent of Canadians over the age of 65 have a hearing loss, and it is considered the fastest growing disability in North America. Hearing loss can be unilateral (one ear) or bilateral (both ears), and levels range from minimal, mild, moderate, severe or profound, or a combination of these levels. Exposure to noise causes permanent hearing loss; and middle ear problems, such as fluid in the middle ear, causes hearing loss that is usually resolved with medical treatment. Williams Lake and area residents are fortunate to have a full-time audiologist at Interior Health who works with children birth to 19 years of age, and three private hearing clinics in our area have providers who work with adults. Since 2007, B.C. babies have hearing screened before they leave the hospital or rural clinic, or shortly after. Early identification of hearing loss and prompt fitting with hearing aids, if required, greatly reduces the debilitating effects on language development and communication. Helen Keller has been quoted as saying, “Blindness separates us from things but deafness separates us from people.” Parents of a child with a profound hearing loss require timely support and counselling to decide on a choice of language: sign language or oral language with hearing aids or a cochlear implant. Few supports for people who communicate with sign language are available in rural areas of B.C., and some local parents have chosen to send their children to the BC School for the Deaf in Burnaby, where
they spend the school week, and return to their homes every weekend and holiday. Some parents of children in School District 27 have decided on oral education for their children with cochlear implants. The Cochlear Implant Centre at BC Children’s Hospital is currently celebrating its 25 year anniversary. Since 1988, 300 children in B.C. have received cochlear implants. Children with cochlear implants, such as WLSS Grade 8 student Jakob Larmand, are doing well in their local schools, with support from outstanding teachers and staff. Barbara Doedel is a School District 27 teacher for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Hearing loss can present great challenges in employment, especially when sign language is the primary mode of communication. In recognition of Social Planning and Research Council of B.C.’s June 1 Access Awareness Day, Pioneer Log Homes, Soda Creek Division, was commended for their actions in enabling employment for Steve Coombes,a who is deaf, by sponsoring 18 employees to attend a sign language course in 2006. Coombes is still employed by Pioneer Log Homes and has continued to teach sign language to co-workers. Beat Schwaller at Pioneer reported that 12 newer employees are learning sign, and they are signing to each other, even when Steve isn’t around, and it’s too noisy to hear each other.
Local musicians Pharis & Jason Romero and Drum & Bell Tower both have brand new CDs out, and want to celebrate these new releases with the public. They will host a concert at the Limelight in Williams Lake this Friday, June 7 starting at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the door or in advance at the Guitar Seller. Horsefly-based Pharis & Jason Romero’s new CD is called “Long Gone Out West Blues” and has been receiving rave reviews from across the globe. Williams Lake’s Drum & Bell Tower has a brand new release for this special show called Dark Moon. There will also be a special late set with the Little Horsefly Country Band.

Dr. Blanca Schorcht from the University of Northern British Columbia is teaching a full class of students in Williams Lake who are taking UNBC’s 120 First Nations literature course.
UNBC offers First Nations literature course in WL LeRae Haynes
Special to The Tribune Dr. Blanca Schorcht from the University of Northern British Columbia is at School District 27 headquarters teaching an English literature 120 course to a full class. It’s a course on Canadian First Nations literature, and she explained that most of the students are taking the course as part of the Tsilhqot’n National Government language and culture program. “It’s a full three-
credit academic course,” Schorcht said. “These students need to take at least two English courses as part of their First Nations diploma because it’s required by the teacher regulation branch if they want to go into language teaching later. “This is the second time the course has been offered in Williams Lake. We did it through the ‘weekend university’ a few years back. In this format it’s condensed to six weeks.” Two of the students

are working on a full degree program, and the rest are working on a two-year diploma. “The diploma students can ‘ladder’ to a full degree program at any time with what they’ve taken here,” Schorcht added. This is the halfway
point of the course, which features First Nations authors – poetry, short stories, personal narratives and novels. “This class is awesome,” one student said. “Right now we’re working on poetry and personal narrative.”
