Keep cars GRADE 6 STUDENTS TOUR FUTURE SCHOOL locked: RCMP The Williams Lake RCMP are reminding people of the importance of locking vehicles and keeping valuables out of sight after a rash of thefts in residential driveways in the South Lakeside area. “All the vehicles that were preyed upon were unlocked,” the RCMP noted. “Some of the items taken from the vehicles were: a satellite radio, a black wallet with identification and care cards, GPS, satellite phone, and a cordless Stihl power saw.” A Recurve Bow, green and yellow, with the number 55 on it, along with a number of arrows in a clear plastic container, were also stolen. Anyone with any information of these thefts is asked to contact Const. Hendrickson or Cpl. Rosario of the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211 or CRIMESTOPPERS.

Grade 6 students from around Williams Lake were given the opportunity to tour Columneetza Secondary School on Monday evening. In a cost saving measure the School District 27 board is closing Glendale and Kwaleen elementary schools in September and moving Grade 7 classes out of all elementary schools in the Williams Lake area and into Columneetza which will become the Western Campus of a consolidated junior/senior secondary school. The Grade 7s who would normally be moving to secondary school in September had their orientation session Tuesday evening.

all students in grades 6 to 12 who are or will be attending the high school next year, the board chose the name from three finalists. The other possible names were Cariboo Central secondary and Cariboo Crossroads secondary. The name Lake City had been added to the list during a regu-

lar board meeting held last week in 100 Mile House. At the same meeting the board finalized the names for the two campuses. Columneetza will be known as the Western Campus, and Williams Lake secondary will become the Carson campus. Both are named for the street on which they are situated and the

lakecity resident the streets were originally named for. “Names are important to us as individuals,” said superintendent Mark Thiessen. “A new identity and a fresh start is not a bad thing.” “I think people will grab hold of the new name and run with it.”

City hires new chief administrative officer

PM 0040785583

At the close of the council meeting Tuesday Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook officially announced the city has hired a new chief administrative officer who will start July 2. Successful candidate Darrell Garceau has worked as a CAO for 19 years in Alberta and B.C., most recently in Westlock, Alta. “He’s going to be a great addition to our community,” Cook told media after making the announcement. “We are thrilled to

have him join our team.” When asked if much of the CAO’s tasks had to be put on hold while general manager of planning and operations Geoff Goodall did his job and acted in the CAO’s position, Cook said Goodall was stellar at doing two jobs. “Things were not put on hold per se, but the current situation wasn’t sustainable,” Cook said. “Geoff is a man of integrity and really stepped up to the plate over the last months. Council as a whole has appreciated his dedication and commitment to the city.” On Feb. 5 the city announced it

had hired Don DeGagne as CAO, but on Feb. 28 sent out a press release saying the city had changed its mind about hiring him. Cook said the city re-posted the position March 1 and continued with the process of hiring. “We had a number of applications, we short-listed, interviewed five people by Skype, short-listed again and interviewed two people,” Cook said. “We offered Darrell the position and he accepted last week.” On May 8, DeGagne filed a civil claim against the city in the Supreme Court of B.C. stating he

was wrongfully dismissed when the city breached his employment contract and terminated him without cause, proper notice or pay in lieu of notice. The city had 21 days upon receiving the claim to respond or make a counter claim. Cook said the city was granted an extension past the 21 days, but will be filing soon. The city has been without a CAO since last fall when Brian Carruthers resigned and accepted a position in Nelson with the Regional District of the Central Kootenays.

Joint committee meetings resume The Central Cariboo Joint Committee (CCJC) resumed business Wednesday, May 22 at the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) office, says a June 4 press release from the Cariboo Regional District. This is the first time that the members from the City of Williams Lake Council and the central Cariboo Regional District have met since resolving the Williams Lake rural fringe fire protection issue. “I am pleased the Central Cariboo Joint Committee is back at the table, so that we can progress with impor-

tant projects such as the Sam Ketcham Pool Study,” says Central Cariboo Joint Committee co-chair and Electoral Area F Director Joan Sorley. “I am optimistic that with this return to meetings, we will continue rebuilding our relationship with the City of Williams Lake through the Central Cariboo Joint Committee and in the spirit of collaboration and respect.” “It is important to continue to work together, and not let disagreements sidetrack important items,” says Central Cariboo Joint Committee co-chair

and Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook. “The possible replacement of the Sam Ketcham pool is one of those critical items that we must make progress on.” During the meeting, the CCJC received the final draft of the Williams and District Pool feasibility study completed by Professional Environmental and Recreation Consultants and Bruce Carscadden Architect. The process to develop the report involved extensive review of the existing facility and public consultation, which was guided by a task force of Cen-

tral Cariboo Recreation Advisory Committee and other stakeholders. The recommendations for the report will be considered at the next CCJC meeting scheduled for July 10. To view the final draft of the report visit either cariboord.bc.ca or www.williamslake. ca. Despite the temporary suspension of joint meetings, the Cariboo

Regional District and the City of Williams Lake have been working on important issues such as the negotiation of a new five-year agreement for management of the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, which is owned by the CRD and operated by the City. The current agreement expires in December 2013.

Aboriginal mine training office opens in Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The British Columbia Aboriginal Mine Training Association celebrated two important milestones Tuesday. The organization officially opened a new office in downtown Williams Lake and accepted the 2013 BC Mining HR Diversity Award in partnership with New Afton New Gold. Zoe Younger, Mining Association of BC vice-president, said it’s great to see the community embracing mining and the aboriginal training program. “We’re here to celebrate in the community the meaningful success of the partnership between BCAMTA and New Gold,” Younger said. “As importantly, the success of that partnership is now being replicated across B.C. and evidence of that is here today as

we celebrate the grand opening of the BCAMTA office in Williams Lake.” Younger said when she joined the mining association five years ago, one of the first things she was asked to do was to work in partnership with the Association of Mineral Exploration to write a proposal and hopefully receive funding for a B.C. aboriginal mine training association. After she and a lot of people performed some “mental gymnastics” the funding was approved. “I had no idea that it was going to grow to be this,” she reflected, adding she was fortunate to be a part of turning an idea into reality. Commending the mine training association CEO Laurie Sterritt and her “cracker jack” team for giving the organization its “wings to fly,” Younger said the new office in

the mine training organization is evident and unsurpassed, with a 93 per cent retention rate for candidates placed through the program, Younger said. “A “whopping” 24 per cent of New Gold’s staff is self-identified Aboriginal.” Len Jackson, director of operations for the mine training association, said the organization recently celebrated its 500th hire. “We have also been able to ascertain that we’ve increased the annual average wage of our candidates by more than $40,000,” he said. “The BCAMTA Waterhouse Cooper report that will be released later this month will show that the average candidate’s salary prior to BCAMTA was $13,754 and the average salary after training is $52,959.” While Jackson believes his organization and mining companies have developed a for-

mula that works, he said it didn’t happen overnight. “It was about going to New Gold, trying to establish what it was that we wanted to do, trying to understand who the employer is, but none of this happens without our First Nations partners.” It’s really about communication, Jackson said, adding he thinks there will be more successes. Taseko Mines Ltd. is providing an in-kind donation of a space for the new office on the floor where it leases offices space in the 100 block of Second Avenue North. “The donation of a space makes it possible for us to do what we do,” Sterritt said. “We’ve been able to create an efficient space where our candidates can come and feel comfortable or work in the computer lab. Taseko’s giving us our start here and we really appreciate it.”

Northern Gateway Pipeline proposal rejection praised by some critics Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A decision by the provincial government not to support the current Northern Gateway Pipeline proposal comes as good news to at least two local community leaders. The B.C. government made its final written submission to the Northern Gateway Pipeline Joint Review Panel, Friday, May 31. In the submission, the province states that it cannot support the project as presented to the panel because Northern Gateway has been unable to address B.C.’s environmental concerns. “British Columbia

thoroughly reviewed all of the evidence and submissions made to the panel and asked substantive questions about the project including its route, spill response capacity and financial structure to handle any incidents,” said Environment Minister Terry Lake. “Our questions were not satisfactorily answered during these hearings.” The Williams Lake Chapter of the Council of Canadians is encouraged by the B.C. government’s decision, said member John Dressler. “It demonstrates that when all of the values are considered it is not possible to conclude that the Enbridge pipeline proposal would

be good for B.C. and the people of the entire province.” Local resident Jenny Noble echoed Dressler saying B.C.’s rejection gives her hope that environmental safety is finally being placed ahead of short-term corporate profit. “It’s no longer good enough for industry to say “Trust us, we’ll take care of toxic spills on land and water (even though we can’t tell you how we’ll do it, and by the way you’ll have to pay for it.). Taseko, take note,” Noble said. She also said the fact B.C. has made respect for First Nations treaty rights a pre-condition for environmental approval is laudable.

“May it signal the dawn of a new, enlightened era of justice among neighbours.” Following the announcement by the Ministry of Environment Friday, BC NDP leader Adrian Dix issued a statement saying the announcement was welcome news, but a case of too little, too late. “The B.C. Liberals signed away decisionmaking authority to Ottawa in 2010 and that has not changed,” Dix said. “We know Ottawa continues to support the project, so saying ‘no’ today is a toothless gesture and the Liberals know it.” Dix suggested if the Liberals had any inter-

est in actually stopping the pipeline from being built, they would withdraw from the agreement that gives Ottawa the only authority for approval of the pipeline. “The B.C. Liberals avoided taking a position on this project for years. Even with this submission, the final say rests with Stephen Harper. Only after intense pressure from New Democrats, environmentalists, First Nations, and communities concerned about our coast and our economy did the Liberals finally decide to oppose the project.” Enbridge Northern Gateway vice-president Janet Holder said Friday the province’s po-

sition is not the end of the discussion. “The five conditions cannot be fully met until the end of the Joint Review Panel process,” Holder said. “We are working hard to meet the conditions and earn the confidence of the government and the people of B.C.” Ministry staff evaluated the 192 conditions proposed by the Joint Review Panel, the federal agency that will make a recommendation for permits to Ottawa next fall. The B.C. government and Northern Gateway officials will give their final oral arguments to the panel when hearings resume in Terrace on June 17. Enbridge has argued

that its submissions to the federal panel included 7,000 pages of technical reports and nine separate witness panels have answered every environmental question put to it. The panel has conducted 69 days of cross-examination of company officials by B.C. and other representatives. Lake said the B.C. government is not opposed to heavy oil pipeline projects in general, such as the pending application to twin the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline from Alberta to port and refinery facilities in Burnaby and Washington state. - With files from Tom Fletcher

Erratic recovery expected in forest industry Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake should anticipate an erratic recovery in the lumber industry said Larry Broadfoot, Tolko general manager of lumber and plywood sales. Speaking to the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce Thursday Broadfoot, who is from Vernon, said in the past the forest industry would pick up as the U.S. housing starts increased, but that’s not necessarily how it will work this time around. “You should still feel good about the forest industry, but what we’re not going to have is a strong robust return happening because the U.S. economy is not going to have a strong robust return,” Broadfoot said. Using statistics from U.S. housing starts, he suggested that single family home statistics are the main driver for the forest industry. “Single family home construction is on the right trend up. The underlying demand should be somewhere around 1.1 million starts. We are well under that today, but we expect to be somewhere around 800,000 by the end of the year.” It’s expected the need for wood products will continue and that the worst is behind, he added. “I think we are going to see better days ahead.” Housing permits also went through a downturn, but that statistic is also starting to turn. “New home numbers are around 125,000. That’s an incredibly low number that hasn’t been seen since statistics were kept. But people want new homes, and while some old homes are being fixed up, we do expect that number of housing starts to be up to around 250,000.” Referring to the number of foreclosures in the U.S., Broadfoot said there was a worry there’d be a second round of foreclosures, but that doesn’t appear

to be happening, and the latest stats indicate the number of foreclosures is decreasing. “We would expect as that goes down, and people who are staying in their homes, or those who were doubling up and living in basements of family members, are going to return to the market.” A downside to the recovery has seen people fixing homes rather than building new ones, he added. “Not necessarily bad news for people who are in the remodelling business.” Broadfoot recently visited areas in the U.S. and saw many unfinished buildings. “If you go through places like Phoenix, California, and even into Florida, you’re seeing a lot of infrastructure half built. That has to be finished before you’ll see any new construction,” he explained. Pine beetle lumber continues to be purchased by China, whereas it’s a tougher sell in the U.S. “The Chinese market is using that lumber and I believe will continue to do so,” Broadfoot. “Most folks here can take comfort in the Chinese economy, even though it’s showing signs of going down a bit, it still has a GDP of

somewhere around 7.5 per cent.” There continues to be “huge growth” of exports to China, he added. “That is going to retrace a little bit, but overall marginally. By 2016 I think we’ll see ourselves in a much better position.”

Lumber prices have dropped $100 per 1,000 board feet, and Broadfoot expects it will recover up and down, although not by $100. “I tell the folks who sell our product, ‘don’t go too high with the high or too low with the low.’ It will be a tough recov-

ery.” Tolko Soda Creek Division manager Ryan Oliver said he is questioned often about the timber supply and the impact of the mountain pine beetle epidemic. “We are often asked if we have enough fibre to keep our mill. Definitely the difficult decision to shut down Creekside helps us out there,” Oliver said. The fibre is out there, but the question is how far do companies go out to economically retrieve it, bring it back to the mill, and harvest it into market that makes sense and makes money, he added. “If the markets hold true, the fibre is there, and Tolko will be able to afford to go out and get it.” Oliver also introduced Mike Dextrase the new stud mill superintendent at Soda Creek. He is relocating from High Level, Ab., and his family will join him in July.

LOW FLOW TOILET/APPLIANCE REBATE PROGRAM.

Many homes in Williams Lake are equipped with older toilets, dishwashers or clothes washers that require more water to operate. New low flow toilets and appliances require much less water while doing the same function. By replacing your old toilet and appliances, you could use up to one-third less water! That could save the average household more than 300 liters per day, or 100,000 liters per year. 1. Toilets using 4.8 liters or less, with a Maximum Performance (MaP) Tested approved new low flow fixture. Visit website www. cwwa.ca/freepub_e.asp to view. 2. Dishwashers that are on the approved list on the City’s website. 3. Clothes washers that are on the approved list on the City’s website. WHY HAS THE CITY INITIATED THIS LOW FLOW TOILET/APPLIANCE REBATE PROGRAM? The City of Williams Lake wants to reduce the amount of water consumed as well as the amount of water flowing into the sanitary sewer system. It costs money to treat the water coming in and going out of your house. Using less water saves both money and the environment for everyone who lives in and around the Cariboo. WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE REBATE?

This offer is only for owners of residential units that are connected to the City of Williams Lake’s Water and Sewer system. There is a YEARLY limit of two toilets/appliance rebates per residential unit. Simple toilet replacements do not require a plumbing permit. However, if you are also renovating, you must apply for a building permit. NEW CONSTRUCTION For new construction in the City of Williams Lake, all plumbing must adhere to the BC Plumbing codes. However, the City is providing rebates for those property owners or contractors who choose to install MaP approved Dual Flush toilets (3/4.8L) and 3 liter fixtures instead of the minimum code requirement for toilet installation. There is no maximum for this incentive. WHAT ABOUT MY OLD TOILET OR APPLIANCE? Your old toilet or appliance must be disposed of at the City of Williams Lake’s Municipal Worksyard at 555 N Second Avenue. You must have a copy of the approved Rebate Form with you when the fixture is dropped off. The form must be signed by a City representative. WHAT DO I NEED TO APPLY FOR THE REBATE PROGRAM? 1. Pick up an application form at City Hall, Development Services, 450 Mart Street. Fill it in and

return to City Hall. 2. Provide a receipt for the purchase of an approved low flow fixture. 3. Provide proof of installation of a low flow toilet or appliance and proof that the old toilet or appliance has been brought to the Municipal Worksyard. This is achieved by: An inspection of the newly installed toilet in place by a City Representative. A signed copy of the application form proving the old unit was dropped off at the Municipal Worksyard located at 555 North Second Avenue. 4. You must agree to permit the representative of the City of Williams Lake access to inspect the installation. Simple toilet replacements do not require a plumbing permit. However, if you are also renovating, you must apply for a building permit. City staff will review your application and, if you qualify, the City of Williams Lake will mail you a cheque for each eligible low flow toilet or appliance (up to two rebates per residential dwelling per year). This program is on a first come first serve basis. Your application must be approved by the Development Services Coordinator prior to purchasing a low flow toilet to guarantee a rebate. The City of Williams Lake

will send a rebate cheque for qualifying installations to the registered homeowner as explained. Low Flow Toilets - Rebates for toilets will be: 1. The amount of the receipt to a maximum of $75 for each low flush (4.8L) fixture 2. The amount of the receipt up to a maximum of $100 for each dual flush (3/4.8L) fixture 3. And the amount of the receipt to a maximum of $125 for a 3 liter flush toilet. For a list of Maximum Performance (MaP) tested approved fixtures visit the website www.cwwa.ca/ freepub_e.asp to view. For new construction, where dual flush (3/4.8L) fixtures are installed, the City of Williams Lake will rebate $50 with no maximum number per year and will rebate $75 for all 3 liter fixtures with no maximum number per year. Clothes Washers - Rebates for Clothes Washers will be the amount of the receipt to a maximum of $150 for appliances that have a Water Factor of less than 6 and the amount of the receipt to a maximum of $200 for appliances that have a Water Factor of 3 or less. For a list of appliances and their Water Factor, please go to www.williamslake.ca. Click on Departments, Planning and Operations, Appliance Rebates.

He brings a great deal of professionalism, knowledge, and experience, and I hope you will help council welcome Darrell and his family to Williams Lake. All of council is very grateful for Geoff Goodall, who has been our acting CAO for From the the past Mayor’s eight Chair months Kerry Cook as we transitioned to a permanent CAO. Geoff has done a stellar job stepping up to take on the CAO role and doing two jobs. He has helped guide the city through some tough issues. Thanks Geoff! I attended the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Conference in Vancouver over the weekend and found it, as always, to be very valuable. It’s important to have a representative to support FCM, as it is the go-between between cities and the federal government. We received an important update about new federal municipal infrastructure dollars — $53 billion over the next 10 years. The federal government has expanded the funding to include road and recreation projects. The most valuable part of the conference is the personal networking I can do with other mayors and councillors, to find out what’s working for them in terms of working with the federal government. I had some key conversations about steps to move forward on resource revenue sharing with the Province. I’m looking forward to an announcement on Friday about who we will be working with as Premier Clark announces her cabinet. I helped out at Tim Hortons for Camp Day yesterday. It was great fun. Thanks to all who helped send kids to camp by buying a coffee. And thanks to Vic and the staff for allowing Councillors Bonnell, Rathor, and I to be part of this special day! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Surprised ... or not Many were surprised Friday when the province announced it could not support the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal as it currently stands. They shouldn’t have been. The provincial government’s stance Friday is consistent with the position it has been touting since Premier Christy Clark’s illfated foray to Alberta last year. Perhaps what’s surprising is that she meant it. There was lots of water-cooler talk that since the Liberals won a majority government last month pipelines would get a green light. It’s not the case. Environment Minister Terry Lake pointed out that the biggest stumbling block was the fact that Enbridge hasn’t provided answers to questions the province wants answered. “The (Joint Review Panel) must determine if it is appropriate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the certificate is granted,” Lake said. “Our government does not believe that a certificate should be granted before these important

questions are answered.” Kudos to Lake and the provincial government for listening to what the public has been saying about the proposal. Getting past the rhetoric, the issue of whether to grant a certificate on the “promise to do more study,” is key. In addition, it certainly leaves the door open for Enbridge. The question is whether it will decide to enter. Janet Holder, Enbridge Northern Gateway executive vice-president western access, said in a press release the five conditions put forward by the province can’t be met until after the Joint Review Panel process is completed, suggesting that what the province is asking for simply can’t be done and that an impasse exists. However, she added the company looks forward to working with the province to meet the five conditions, suggesting they aren’t quite ready to throw in the towel on a project it has invested millions of dollars in already. The Northern Gateway project is far from finished. - Prince George Free Press

ith summer fast approaching, it’s time to remind pet guardians across B.C. about the serious consequences for pets left inside cars on hot days. Every year, the SPCA receives hundreds of complaints about dogs left in hot cars because many people still don’t grasp the danger of this situation. Even if you park in the shade Paw and it seems Prints c o o l Lorie Chortyk outside w h e n you leave, the sun can change direction and heat up a car’s interior in no time. Many people assume they will be just a few minutes at a bank or convenience store, only to be delayed and return too late. Pets left in hot cars can begin to suffer irreparable brain damage or death in as little as 10 minutes. If you see a dog languishing in a hot car, please call the BC SPCA animal cruelty hotline (1-855-6227722) the RCMP or your local police. Before the authorities arrive, members of the public can help prevent a tragedy by attempting to find the animal’s guardian. 
 In addition to not leaving pets in the car at this time of year, guardians should use caution when exercising their pets under the sweltering summer sun. A lot of dogs will run and play to the point of exhaustion. Signs of heatstroke in pets: exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting); rapid or erratic pulse; salivation; weakness and muscle tremors; lack of coordination; convulsions or vomiting; and collapse. 
If your dog shows symptoms of heatstroke, you should: Immediately move the animal to a cool, shady place; wet the dog with cool water (do not apply ice as it constricts blood flow); fan vigorously to promote evaporation; allow the dog to drink some cool water; and take the dog to a veterinarian. For more tips on how to keep your pet safe and happy this summer, visit spca.bc.ca. Lorie Chortyk is the general manager of community relations with the BC SPCA.

MORE VIEWPOINTS

Acts of kindness appreciated Editor: A week or so ago I wrote a raspberry to the person who stole my groceries. Since then I have received so much kindness that I felt I should acknowledge it by wishing a bunch of roses to the wonderful people who came forward. One lady called and said she would pick me up and take me

to the Safeway and replace the medication for my wife, which she did and I thank you so much. The next day I received a call from Safeway asking me to stop at the pharmacy because there was something there for me. It turned out to be a gift card for $100. I hardly know what to say. I thank you so much for your kindness.

People ask me why we live in Williams Lake. How could we not? There may be a few bad people but for every bad person there is a multitude of wonderful people. I did not know these people, but I wish to thank them all from the bottom of my heart. Bill Reid Williams Lake

Branding is for horses and cattle Editor: Branding is for horses and cattle! “Willie’s Puddle” is the biggest attention getter you will ever come up with. Jim Fraser’s letter to the editor brought this to memory. I was already living in Williams Lake when Jim Fraser came to build his future here. Everybody who has ever travelled through the Cariboo, or knew someone who had, even from different parts of Canada, or from different countries, plus the entire rodeo world knew Williams Lake was Willie’s Puddle — with fond affection, I might add. There was another attention getter at that time, 1958 was the year. If you lived beyond Hope, you were beyond hope (Hope, B.C. that is). I truly believe our mayor and council are beyond hope (not A big bunch of roses from the Cariboo Potter’s Guild to Lindsey Gasparini for letting us use the OV Convention Centre to hold our “Night of Decadence” pottery show and sale.

Hope, B.C.). They are trying to reinvent the wheel, spending tax payers’ money on a foolish project. That money could have been spent on advertising around the world on what we already are. There is an affliction that affects some politicians sometimes, and some politicians all the time. No matter how ridiculous the idea they have come up with, or how many people are against the idea, they press ahead and continue wasting tax payers’ money. Is there no one in the Williams Lake city administration to stop this madness? Take a deep breath and say stop! — Not another penny. A bunch of school children could have come up with a better idea than brand or be branded. We brand cattle and horses in the Cariboo. We are historically early B.C., Canada.

We have roads to the goldfields; the oldest surveyed townsite outside of Victoria is at Quesnel Forks; the oldest cattle ranch in B.C. Alkali Lake; we also have the biggest cattle ranch in the world, Gang Ranch. We are the rodeo capital of B.C., the logging capital of B.C., and the mining capital of B.C. We have the most beautiful railroad in the world: the P.G.E. You could fill pages of historical first points of interest for the world. Talk to the old pioneers about your branding. They are the builders of the heart of the province. (Old cowboys know that if a horse gets the bit between his teeth you cannot turn him or stop him). Mayor, you and the council have the bit between your teeth.

Question of the week

What do you think of the new high school name Lake City Secondary School?

Claudia Duitshaeuer

Kailey Hutchinson

It’s kind of random. I just don’t get it.

I like it, but it reminds me of the Ford place.

Kendall Jensen

It reminded me of Lake City Ford.

It would have made more sense to leave it WL Secondary.

It’s kind of corny. It could be more grown-up.

It doesn’t represent our town as well as it should.

Competitors shine at Kispiox rodeo Percy Hebert photo

Williams Lake’s Terris Billyboy competes in the barrel racing event during the 66th Annual Kispiox Valley Rodeo June 1-2. 150 Mile House’s Wade McNolty picked up a pair of runner-up finishes — the first in the tie-down roping event and the second in steer wrestling. McNolty scored a time of 22 seconds flat in tie-down roping before posting a fast 7.9-second time in steer wrestling. Other local results included Callie Hume of Williams Lake who scored a time of 16.302 seconds to take first place in the junior barrel racing event. Finally, in pee wee barrel racing, Williams Lake’s Brianna Billy placed third in 18.466 seconds. Coming up this weekend on the B.C.

SPORTS Greg Sabatino photo

The Williams Lake Boxing Club’s (from left) Harley Mulvahill, Laura Klassen and Alex Hadden competed at the Richmond Silver Gloves championships June 1.

Trio returns from Silver Gloves Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Boxing Club landed a three-punch combination at the Richmond Silver Gloves championships when three of its fighters competed on the card. Harley Mulvahill, Laura Klassen and Alex Hadden represented the WLBC at the championships, hosted June 1 at the Richmond Sports Club. There, Mulvahill won a unanimous decision over Nanaimo’s Michael Pool in the main event of the 15-card lineup and Klassen lost a close decision to Lillooet’s Alaina John. Hadden — competing in his first bout — fought an exhibition versus New Westminster’s Derrick Wong. WLBC coach Gary McLellan said Mulva-

hill dominated all three rounds of his fight by landing a repeated right jab and hard right hands through his opponent’s defense. “It was his jab that he used a lot,” McLellan said. “He was sticking and moving well.” Mulvahill added he went into the fight with a game plan and stuck to it. “I didn’t know anything about him [going in],” Mulvahill said. “My boxing was the best part. Mentally I was there really strong that night and I was just able to stick to the game plan. “I allowed him to come into things and sucked him into things during the fight. I was never going forward much — I was always going back, so I boxed well.” McLellan said he thought Klassen fought

a strong fight and did enough to win, despite the judges’ decision. “Everybody was coming up to us — even her own coaches — saying that they thought Laura had won,” McLellan said. “I gave her a standing eight count in the third round,” Klassen added. “I’d hurt her in the second and I didn’t notice it but I realized in the last round.” Hadden, who just began training with the WLBC in November, said it was an amazing experience to get his first fight under his belt. However, because it was an exhibition the bout wasn’t scored. “It was awesome,” Hadden said. “I was pretty nervous at first but once I got in there you just blank everything out and you’re focused. I was just trying to listen to my coaches.”

Mulvahill added he’d like to thank everyone who’s helped out the club’s fighters. “I want to thank everybody that comes down to the club week in and week out and puts in work because without them I wouldn’t be motivated to do it, either — especially my sparring partners and my coach,” he said. “I’d secondly like to thank my girlfriend and her parents for supporting me and, lastly, I want to thank Angie [Delainey] at Satya Yoga for stretching me.” The Williams Lake Boxing Club is looking for new members 11 and up. The club trains every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the club, located in the basement of the Western Wood Heat building on Highway 97. Cost is $40 a month or $10 to drop in.

Intergenerational Day celebrated at Seniors Village Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer June 1 has been declared Intergenerational Day in Canada in celebration of programs that bring school children together with seniors for part of their school year. Grade 6 and 7 students at Cataline Elementary School have participated in an intergenerational project with the Seniors Village in Williams Lake for several years now. The Cataline students celebrated Intergenerational Day a couple of days early on Thursday, May 30 by planting trees at Scout Island in the morning and joining their senior buddies at the village at noon for a barbecue lunch. The seniors were also to accompany them to Scout Island but the weather was rainy so that part of the venture was just for the students. Back at the Seniors Village for lunch the students helped out by fixing hot dogs or hamburgers and bringing them to their senior buddies. A cake was also cut to celebrate Intergenerational Day. The mayor and councillors Surinderpal Rathor and Danica Hughes were on hand to visit and help with the event. Sharon MacKenzie, executive director of the B.C.-based Intergenerational Society of Canada was also in attendance. MacKenzie, a teacher, helped to develop the original intergenerational project between schools and seniors’ facilities. MacKenzie was recently hired by Retirement Concepts to start intergenerational school projects with other seniors villages in other communities around B.C. She says there are eight or nine communities where projects similar to the Cataline/ Seniors Village project are now being established. She says the program has three basic components: curriculum based study, in this case at the Seniors’ Village; volunteering; and developing one-on-one relationships between students and seniors. At Cataline grades 6 and 7 students move their classes to the Seniors’ Village for five to six weeks split between spring and fall. In addition to regular class work, the stu-

Several of the students at the barbecue reported on the fun they had writing stories with their senior buddies as part of their class projects. As part of their volunteer work the students volunteer with activities such as weeding gardens with the seniors, setting tables for lunch, and decorating for special events. The social aspect of the program is huge in terms of building communication skills and confidence among students and giving seniors, who may be isolated, an opportunity to visit with young people, MacKenzie says. “It is such an amazing learning and teaching opportunity,” MacKenzie says. “It is such a simple way of improving mental,

emotional, and social and physical health … What we’ve seen in terms of health is unbelievable.” Intergenerational Day in Canada also provides an easy opportunity to raise awareness in classrooms and in daily life of the many benefits simple and respectful connections between generations bring to education, health and community safety, MacKenzie says. “Stereotypes of both young and older people are broken down when they learn about each other. Isolation is diminished and empathy grows in both directions. Intergenerational Day Canada makes a powerful statement about the value of generational connecting within each and everyone’s neighbourhood.”

The public is invited to come and watch the Stampede Queen contestants be put through their paces in the horsemanship portion of their competition tonight Thursday, June 6. Visitors are invited to the VIP stands in the Stampede arena opposite the Stampede Grandstand. The competition starts at 6:30 p.m. There are three Stampede Queen contestants this year, Miss Daybreak Rotary Rachel Abrahamse; Miss M.H. King Excavating Kyra Stuart; and Miss Rotary Club of Williams Lake Karina Sukert.

Tara Sprickerhoff joins Tribune team Tara Sprinkerhoff Tribune Staff Writer Hello again Williams Lake. I’m Tara Sprickerhoff, a graduate of Columneetza now studying journalism at Carleton University in Ottawa. I just finished my second year there and am home for the summer working as a student here at the Williams Lake Tribune. While in Ottawa I’ve been learning all sorts of journalism ‘tricks of the trade,’ if you will. My reporting professor, who previously worked for the Globe and Mail, told my

Tara Sprickerhoff class once that “politicians can’t resist a handshake, so grab them by the hand and don’t let go.” Hopefully that’s advice I won’t have to use here!

I’ve been involved in Journalism for Human Rights at Carleton, as well as written for the student paper, the Charlatan, but I’m happy to be back.

After more than a year of growing his hair Columneetza teacher Loyd Csizmadia had his long hair cropped Wednesday, May 29 and donated the locks to be made into wigs for chemotherapy patients. Over the course of the year Csizmadia also told students that if they could raise $1,000 for Cops for Cancer he would take the next step and have his head shaved bald. The students not only met the challenge but other students and staff joined him in having their heads shaved during the “Fly on the Wall” fundraiser, May 29. The leadership class at the school 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. In the end, teacher Robin Fofonoff says four teachers went bald to raise more money: Loyd Csizmadia, Rick Heal, Nick MacDonald, and Tim Hurley. There were also several students who were brave enough to go bald — Hayden Dahlman, Tristan Sailor, Peter Fayowski and Troy Allery. “We even had one student, Ariel Zacharias, who was so moved by the event that she went down and donated her hair to make a wig,” Fofonoff says. Before the “The Fly on the Wall” fundraiser she says staff and

students had raised approximately $1,500. “During the fundraiser, our amazing staff and students raised over $900 in under an hour. The grand total was approximately $2,500,” Fofonoff

says. “This was a big bright light for our Columneetza staff and students, especially now that Columneetza will be no longer ... ending on a high note! Columneetza Rocks.”

Handbags for Hope coming up­ Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer The Women’s Contact Society will host its third annual Handbags for Hope Auction and Tea at the Yellow Umbrella to raise money for the prevention of violence against women and girls. The event takes place Wednesday evening, June 12. During the evening guests will be offered appetizers, tea and dessert as well as have the chance to bid on handbags and purses of all shapes and sizes. Some of the bags are donated from closets, some are brand new from local stores and others are coming from Mexico, Alaska and Germany. The tea will feature both silent and live auctions, complete with auctioneer and colourful paddles in the shape of purses. “We’re hoping to raise $5,000,” said event coordinator Ashlee Turatus. The money will be going to various programs and events through the

Women’s Contact Society such as Beauty From the Inside Out, a program offered to girls about to enter high school and the Purple Ribbon Campaign which raises awareness about violence against women. These and other programs help with raising the self-esteem and selfconfidence of women and girls as well as preventing domestic violence. 
For a women, being a victim of domestic violence affects her sleep and health, which therefore may cause absenteeism at school and work, Turatus said. 
However, domestic violence also affects children in the home, she said. 
“When a woman is a victim of domestic violence it affects her ability to parent and affects the child. So when a child witnesses violence in the home, they may see it as a normal activity and might perpetuate the violence.” Tickets for the evening are available at the Women’s Contact Society, M&M Meat Shop and the Yellow Umbrella.

Relay for Life this weekend The Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life will be taking place this weekend in Boitanio Park. Different teams from around the community are participating in the 12 hour relay which will start at 7 p.m. Saturday evening June 8 and winds up at 7 a.m. Sunday morning. The goal of the event is to raise money for cancer research, all while celebrating cancer survivors and remembering those who lost their fight with cancer. The relay will begin with a twilight ceremony where luminaries bearing the names of those who had, have and have died from cancer will be lit.

Luminary bags can be purchased at the Canadian Cancer Society office in the Seniors Activity Centre, at the event itself or online at www.bc.cancer.ca. Team members will walk on the park paths throughout the night, with entertainment provided. Becky Grosso is so far the top fundraiser for the Williams Lake Relay. She says she has raised over $7,000 to date and is hoping to reach 7,500 before the relay. “The reason I walk is for my mom who has previously had cancer,” Grosso said. Grosso was also the top fundraiser last year.

Nostradamus

Since his startling predictions began to come true, Nostradamus has held a place as one of the great clairvoyants. Now, in David Blight’s rendition of the 15th century astrologer, we find him gazing into a crystal, pondering the mysteries it holds. If he were still alive, would he have predicted his place as a beautiful garden or home ornament?

“They call the Cariboo home” Newcomers champion cause for RCMP vehicle defibrillators Tara Sprinckerhoff Tribune Staff Writer Although Susann and Mike Wolf only moved to Canada two years ago, that hasn’t stopped them from becoming a driving force in the community. The couple is in the process of organizing Art for Hearts, a charity event featuring local artists and musicians to raise funds to put life-saving equipment in police vehicles. Specifically the fundraiser will purchase heart restarting defibrillators and oxygen masks. Mike is an emergency doctor at Cariboo Memorial Hospital and Susann is a graphic artist so between them they developed the idea for the art night fundraiser taking place at the Tourism Discovery Centre June 20. While working in emergency, Mike says he noticed times when ambulances were not available. “There are times in town where we have patients who have to be transferred to Kamloops by ambulance which takes away an ambulance from town,” Mike says. With only two ambulances in the city, if one is in use transferring a patient to Kamloops and the other is busy on a call, perhaps as far away as Riske Creek, he says emergency aid can be delayed. “It creates a void of adequate treatment in town,” Mike says. “We thought that if we put defibrillators and oxygen masks in police cars then we would at least be able to provide emergency care and basic emergency aid to the community.” “The fundraiser has brought people together — police, paramedics, artists and the city,” Mike says. Local ambulance paramedics have offered to train the po-

Susann and Mike Wolf, who’ve been living in Williams Lake for two years now, are hosting the Art for Hearts charity event featuring local artists and musicians. The funds will be used to purchase heart restarting defibrillators and oxygen masks for police cars. The couple is pictured her enjoying last year’s Williams Lake Stampede. lice officers in how to use the lifesaving equipment. “I think it’s a fantastic idea,” said Blaine Wiggins, the district superintendent for BC Ambulance. “It also speaks to the relationship we have with the RCMP,” Wiggins said. The RCMP are also supportive of the fundraiser. “Although we do have AEDs, I do not have enough for all of our police vehicles,” said Williams Lake RCMP Detachment Insp. Warren Brown. “I think an event such as this would compliment and enhance our efforts towards ensuring public safety.” The organizers hope to raise about $6,000 through ticket sales and donations to pur-

chase the lifesaving equipment for police vehicles. Since Mike is often busy working, Susann and lakecity photographer, Laureen Carruthers, have taken on the lion’s share of organizing the fundraiser. Susann and Carruthers will both be showing their art work. Music will be provided by Olivia Harrison, Christine Constable, Joel and Dean, the Wittenbergs and Rachel Walker. Originally from Germany, Mike and Susann emigrated to Canada from Australia two years ago with their four children. They had been living in Australia for seven years when a former co-worker of Mike’s

in Williams Lake asked if they might like to move to the lakecity. “He asked once, I said no. Twice. I said no. The third time the answer was maybe, and we ended up here,” Mike says. They arrived in June, with a balmy Cariboo temperature of 22 C. “It was freezing!” Susann says. They immediately had to buy jackets. Having relocated from Germany to Australia they knew that moving again would take some adjustments. “It is tough to move countries,” Susan says. Mike adds, “It takes about two years to reinvent your infrastructure.” Although the family had to

leave many great friends and even the family dog in Australia, they are thriving in the Cariboo. “We’ve adapted to the Cariboo lifestyle,” Mike says. Adjusting to the Canadian weather was the hardest part about the move. “In Australia we have two seasons. Wet and dry,” Mike says. “We used to joke that last year, we had winter. It was a Thursday.” They built their first hockey rink last winter and one of Susann’s friends has given them two horses. “Having horses was my childhood dream,” Susann says. “I can ride every day and it’s just so special!” Their children, who range between three and 16 years old love the area as well. In Australia, where the rivers hide crocodiles and other unknown dangers, there was less chance for the kids to play outdoors, Susann says. The only thing the couple is unsure about is how to deal with Canadian bears. “The rule in Australia was that if it’s smaller than your palm, just smack it. It doesn’t matter if it’s poisonous,” Mike says. That rule doesn’t exactly work with a bear. The children have lost their Australian accents since moving to Canada. Mike has kept more of his Australian accent, while Susann still retains her German accent. “We speak German at home so that we don’t lose the language,” Susann says. “We want [our children] to keep the language. It’s a huge opportunity to learn German on the go, just by osmosis.” Tickets to the fundraiser are $10 and available at the Book Bin on First Avenue. Donation boxes are also available at various locations.

Lionel Railton

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our much loved husband, father and grandfather Lionel David Railton. Lionel was predeceased by his entire birth family, mother Agnes, father Lyle and brothers Meryl, Don and Wes. He is survived by his loving wife Joan, only daughter Jane Folka, her husband Craig and two granddaughters Kari and Jamie. Lionel was very proud to tell you he was born in a grainery in Saskatchewan. He would recite and show you the coordinates written on the birth certificate, just in case you were in doubt of his story. His life was spent in many regions of the Yukon, BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan - all working in road construction and related work. He shared his passion of the outdoors spent fishing and hunting. He lead a happy and active life always finding a “come back” or “last word” to bring a chuckle to those around him, even in his last hours he was asking for payment to take his tray away. The family would like to thank Dr. Magnuson and the staff at Deni House along with Melissa, his Friday afternoon caregiver, for all your compassion in his last days. You all helped to make our journey in this experience the best it could be. Lionel died surrounded in love. Our last spoken words from him were “I know”. Always loved, never forgotten. We know he is sitting with his little dog Nikki watching over us. Lionel requested there be no service.
