Members of the Williams Lake Fire Department were kept busy responding to several suspicious wildfires in the River Valley Wednesday.

Fire Chief Des Webster said three separate fires, with the first starting at about 3:45 p.m., had to be put out by crews. “There were no sources of ignition anywhere,” Webster said of the cause of the fires, noting it’s a good reminder to people of just how dry

it is and that everyone should exercise caution when in wooded areas. Webster also encouraged the public to report anything or anyone suspicious they may see. That same vigilance is needed throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre, said Wildfire Management

Branch communication specialist Emily Koch, noting all 24 wildfires in the Cariboo region that have burned since April 1 were humancaused. See CREWS Page A3

AN APPLE A DAY... When you visit your doctor about a problem (like pain), be a good reporter Plan how you will give your doctor information. The better reporter you are, the better the chance your doctor can help. If it is pain, use descriptive words like “stabbing”, “sharp”, “dull”, achy”. It is sometimes helpful to write down your comments so you don’t miss anything and it saves time as well. Pharmacists put a “shake well” label on some liquid prescriptions. It’s important to heed that label. Some liquids are suspensions and the medication may settle to the bottom of the bottle. Shaking will distribute the medication evenly and ensure you receive the right dose. Children’s liquid antibiotics are a good example. “More is better” is something that doesn’t always apply to drugs. Drugs often reach a peak level of effectiveness at a certain dose and taking more will often not give better results. But side effects can occur at higher doses. Follow your doctor’s orders regarding how much medication to take. Protect your teeth by keeping certain foods to a minimum. Even soft drinks and sports drinks contain acids that can corrode tooth enamel. Dried fruit can stick to teeth surfaces. Some contain extra sugar, too. Even yummy potato chips get into tooth crevices and stay. It’s hard to avoid some of these foods and drinks but brushing soon after eating them will avoid tooth decay and other problems.

Process raises questions The potential winner of a $50 million lottery ticket that was sold in Langley in March, 2014 wants to stay anonymous. That’s according to an anonymous source who spoke to a Vancouver newspaper. The source went on to say that the ticket holder (who isn’t the lottery winner yet, as B.C. Lottery Corporation says it is still conducting an investigation of all circumstances around the winning ticket) has retained a lawyer and will be fighting in court for the right to remain anonymous. Word of this desire for anonymity fits in with the other circumstances around this ticket. Despite many pleas, the potential winner only came forward a few days before the one-year deadline to redeem the prize. The news that the apparent holder of a $50 million winning ticket wants to be anonymous has naturally started lots of conversations. Most people may not be aware that claiming a lottery prize comes with the proviso that the BCLC has the right to take the

winner’s photo and publicize the win. While BCLC says this protects the integrity of the process, which it does, it also helps to promote the idea that winning big is possible. It perpetuates the sales pitch that “dreams can come true” simply by buying a lottery ticket. Advertising promoting that idea does not include the actual odds of winning a big prize, which are infinitesimal. Very few lotteries run by provinces or states in North America allow for anonymity, although a few do. BCLC has granted anonymity itself in the past, but only in very rare and exceptional circumstances. It will be interesting to see if the holder of this potentially winning ticket does manage to preserve his or her anonymity. If that does happen as a result of a court decision, it may force BCLC and, quite likely other Canadian lottery corporations, to change their longstanding rules about who can actually win a prize.

wear because you never know when you’ll have an accident, don’t put that in your mouth because you don’t know where it’s been and if I’ve told you once,

I’ve told you a thousand times. There are lots more of those pearls of wisdom from mothers. And here’s something a mom would never say: “let me smell that shirt. Yeah, it’s good for another week.” A mother understands what a child does not say. Amen to that. There are many ways that you can give your mother appreciation on Mother’s Day. Give her some flowers; chocolates can also be a big hit, or a nice gift of jewellery — something that says a big “thank you mom!” You could also take the time

to plan some nice meals for mom on her day, because it would just not be kosher if you make her work. Perhaps you could start with a breakfast of juice, fruit and a nice omelette. For lunch try a salad, or something special she would like. The happy day dinner should be worked out ahead of time. What are mom’s favourite dishes? Once you have that figured, go to the store and buy the groceries so you are ready to cook for Mother’s Day. It does not have to be a super fancy meal, although that would be nice because she has made

many good meals for you. A nice bottle of the wine she likes the best and flowers on the table will round out a great thanks, mom. Some of us whose mothers have passed away will be in our hearts when we celebrate those who all deserve “hero” awards this weekend. Pamper her a little on this special day of hers just as she pampers you all year round. Give her a warm hug and a big kiss as you wish her a happy Mother’s Day!

Time for teachers to question union After the first few glum lines of his speech, it was difficult to tell anything had changed for B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker as he took his familiar place before the TV cameras last week. Iker droned on about how B.C. schools are under-funded by hundreds of millions of dollars, echoing demands from the disastrous strike he led the union membership into last year. The B.C. Court of Appeal had just overturned a bizarre trial court decision that tried to give the union everything it wanted: a trip back in time to the NDP wonderland of 2001, a constitutional spanking for the B.C. Liberal government and a $2 million bonus of taxpayers’ money. The BCTF must now pay back that $2 million and scrape up whatever is left of its members’ compulsory dues to plead for an appeal at the Supreme Court of Canada, continuing the executive’s self-righteous fantasy of controlling education spending in B.C. The appeal court didn’t just overturn the judgment of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin. It shredded her legal reasoning and bluntly corrected her, over and over, on evidence she ignored or misinterpreted. The appeal court confirmed at great length what I said when Griffin’s second decision came down in early 2014: it was far worse for B.C. schools than when judges decided in 2005

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

that teachers can bring union propaganda into classrooms. Did the government bargain in bad faith? No. Did they conspire to provoke a strike? No. Did they illegally strip working conditions from the teacher contract? No. Turns out our kids are not just “working conditions” for teachers, and public policy still matters. And it turns out that making special needs assistants dash between classes to deal with two kids here and three over there was a lousy idea. Now there’s even a credit course offered in high school for students with learning difficulties, which probably has some BCTF minion crafting a pile of grievances about segregation. In the negotiated settlement reached last fall, teachers shared $105 million to make thousands of baseless grievances go away, after the union filed one for student numbers in every class in the province. This bloated per-

petual protest machine drains the public purse in more ways than taxpayers realize. Parents understand the strikes, though. They remember a union that scrapped report cards, disrupted administration and forced schools to shut down at graduation time. The strike then dragged into the fall, as the government held the line on public service spending. And what was the key issue that kept schools closed? It wasn’t special needs support, where student performance has continued to improve. No, it was

the BCTF demanding a raise twice as big as other public sector unions had already accepted. In the end, their paltry strike fund long gone, the union grudgingly accepted the going rate. They figured they had the elected government on the run in court. Wrong again. Next up for the ministry is taking control of professional development. A bill before the legislature will enforce standards, once the NDP is done denouncing it. Singing Solidarity Forever around a campfire and calling it paid professional development

(a real example, by the way) will soon go the way of the unioncontrolled College of Teachers — onto the scrap heap of history. There are BCTF members who understand how ill-served they are by their union. They are looking critically at the performance of their leaders, who are too often distracted by grandiose “social justice” campaigns as far away as the Middle East. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

How we educate our children should be election priority Editor: In November of 2011 — nearly four years ago — I studied B.C.’s Education Plan. Impressed by its bold ideological goals, I have followed it closely over the years, anticipating deep social debate. That never happened. In fact, this year, the ministry published a 24-page update subtitled Focus on Learning, and nobody seems too interested that the B.C. Government is only a few years away from radically transforming our public education system. According to B.C.’s Education Plan (p 6, 2011), schools will “expand [the] current learning credential program to better recognize learning that takes place outside of the classroom — like arts, sports, science and leadership programs —

so that students are fairly acknowledge for this work.” This implies that students who purchase or participate in community-based rather than schoolbased learning — be it pottery or painting, piano or fiddle, soccer or hockey — will receive credit for graduation. Wonderful news — for the parents who can afford such services. But what about less privileged children? Let’s not kid ourselves. As demand declines for art, music and physical education, the teachers of these electives will be less necessary, and public schools will no longer provide the equal access to a wellrounded and inclusive education that all of our children deserve. More recently, the government released Bill 11, The Education Statues Amendment Act. Most people have lost interest in this bill, dismissing it as an attack

on professional development days. But there is more: “the amendments provide boards with the authority to enter into shared services delivery agreements with … public sector entities. The minister can also require this” (BCTF Synopsis p 6, 2015). My guess is that the government will amalgamate the corporate services required by all of the social ministries, no matter what local school boards might want. The model for such an amalgamation already exists; it is called the Corporate Services for the Natural Resource Sector (CSNRS). This centralized service looks after finances, facilities, vehicles, technology, security — everything necessary to maintain the Natural Resource Ministry. In respect to education, the sharing of services will reduce the control that elected school boards have

over bus, building and grounds maintenance; information management; payroll and the like. If the government simply follows the CSNRS model, the impact on children will be minimal (unless you are a son or daughter of a redundant school district employee). But what if government extends its definition of a shared service to include all work provided by employees of every ministry? For example, could a forester or a biologist or an engineer working for the ministry be required to “teach?” Back in January of 2011, the Deputy Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations requested input from district staff on B.C.’s Education Plan. Does anyone know what resulted from this? Should teachers of biology, geography and geology be worried? Bill 11 proposes that laws

around student privacy be relaxed. This — coupled with the new MyEducation BC computer program which enables province-wide access to student data — means that just about anyone will be able to enter marks on students. Are parents prepared to trust their child’s education to just about anyone? What, exactly, qualifies someone to teach? Next year, the government will have completed much of the foundational work required to implement B.C.’s Education Plan, a plan that most people have ignored for four years. There are two years before the next election. How we educate our children should be the number one issue. Let there be debate! Loyd Csizmadia Williams Lake

150 Mile House Elementary students and their families dance to the YMCA song with all the popular moves.

150 Mile School hosts Spring Fever Family Dance Lara Roorda Special to Tribune/Advisor Approximately 320 students, friends and family enjoyed the seventh annual Spring Fever Family Dance at 150 Mile Elementary on Friday, April 24. It was a fun-filled night of dancing, visiting, limbo, prizes, silent auction, concession and raffle draws. The event was organized by the parent advisory council and made possible because of the outstanding support of parents, students, teachers, administration and local business. One mountain bike, donated by Skuratow Back-

hoe Service and a fourperson helicopter tour, donated by Highland Helicopters, were raffled off to the delight of the children. A huge thank you goes out to all the generous support from community businesses that included: Pioneer Log Homes, Shoppers Drug Mart, 150 Mile Service Centre, Red Shred’s, Jason Skuratow Backhoe Service, Christianson Landscaping, Dollar Dollar, Natalie Ohlhauser, Rusty Bucket, Colleen Patenaude, Weed Free Lawns, Staples, Subway, Dairy Queen, Alexanders, Red Tomato Pies, Finning, Eli Bergen, Fooks Family, Realm of Toys, The Yellow Umbrel-

la, Huckle Buckle Daycare, Inland Kenworth, Barking Spider, Concrete Fitness, Alexander Clothing Jewellery and Gifts, Highland Helicopters, and the Rusty Bucket. Huge thanks also to DJ Amanda who volunteered her equipment and services to make the night extra special. Although this event is an important fundraiser for PAC sponsored events at 150 Mile Elementary, the primary intention of the Spring Fever Family Dance has always been to promote a sense of belonging for both students and parents. Judging by the smiles, it appeared to be a great success.

Speaker inspires creation of an end-of-life committee Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer After attending workshops with end-oflife counsellor Stephen Garrett of Vancouver in March, 13 local people have formed an endof-life committee. “Every event with Stephen was absolutely successful,” said Williams Lake counsellor J.C. Young who invited Garrett to come to Williams Lake. “The turnout was great at the public talks and workshops.” Garrett hosted a book signing at the library, and gave workshops at Signal Point and the Seniors’ Activity Centre. Young, who opened Crystal Clear Counselling on Second Avenue, also hosted a Death Cafe with Garrett, where people talked about death, what they think it is and where do they think people go afterwards. “I was a bit nervous

ing counsellors, other religious leaders and the general public. The committee plans to create a booklet on death to inform people about what to expect and what avenues are available in Williams Lake for end-of-life care. “Knowing the sup-

ports that are out there is so important,” Young said. While 13 is a strong number of people to start a committee, she is actively seeking more people who might want to be involved. “The more people we have with input, the better.” Garrett shared insights about grief, loss and end-of-life planning, and the committee wants to keep the conversation going. Anyone wanting more information can reach Young at 250303-3573 or jc@crystalclearcounselling.ca. She also plans to keep the Death Cafes going and will host one the next one in her office located at 77B Second Ave. North on Thursday, May 14, at 7 p.m. During the weekend that Garrett was in Williams Lake, April Dell won a counselling package that she in turn donated to hospice, Young said.

POLICE O WEEK Service to community recognized during police week

May 11-17 marks National Police Week in Canada, a week dedicated to increasing community awareness and recognition of policing service across the country. Here in the lakecity, there are about 80 people working out of Williams Lake’s busy detachment, with approximately 50 of those being members of the RCMP. “They are all working hard. They have a high volume of serious calls,” said Staff Sgt. Milo MacDonald. MacDonald, whose ﬁrst posting was in Williams Lake, is gearing up to take the area’s top position of Inspector, Ofﬁcer in Charge of the Williams Lake Detachment sometime this summer and said he’s looking forward to the move. “You know when you pull into a place and it feels like home? That’s how I feel about Williams Lake.”

MacDonald is currently a team leader of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit out of Prince George where his team targets drug dealers and gangsters. He is looking forward to the change of pace of running a detachment and reconnecting with the community.

“I like how busy it is, and how diverse the work is in a detachment such as Williams Lake,” MacDonald said. “You can see a direct connection between the

work you’re doing and the results in the community.”

MacDonald’s particular style of police management includes building relationships in the community and also supporting young ofﬁcers by offering training and exposing them to different experiences to develop their skills.

“If you approach it the right way you can really enhance the effectiveness of a junior work force,” MacDonald said, adding within the RCMP there are many different areas to specialize in, from trafﬁc control to serious crime units to being a dog handler. And with a background that includes previous experience with several aspects of policing, MacDonald said he will be drawing on his many connections he has cultivated over the years within the RCMP to target problem areas that may be identiﬁed in this region.

According the RCMP’s ofﬁcial website, Police Week began in Canada in 1970 as a way to connect with communities and increase awareness about the services that police provide. This year, the RCMP marks several important milestones that reinforce the important role police play in the safety and security of Canadians, both at home and abroad. It is also the ﬁrst full year of a national campaign against impaired driving, which Commissioner Bob Paulson has made a long-term organizational priority, states the website.

Find a Church...

...Sponsored by the Williams Lake Minister’s Fellowship

So, Jesus walks into a gay bar… No, this is not the first line to a joke. I am attempting to paint a scene and asking you to think through WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) in such a situation. Here are the steps I believe he would take: First, he would go to the bar. I can hear the protests, “Jesus would never go into a bar!” Why not? What is sinful about being in a bar? Is there something in the walls, wood, or foundation that makes the place unholy? I think you forget that served as a master brewer in John 2. He turned water into wine. No, it was not grape juice. It was an alcoholic intoxicating beverage. So, the first thing we need to do is go to the bar. Second, he would sit down with the LGBT patrons. Some people distance themselves as far as possible from whatever they deem to be “really bad sins”. Jesus however spent a lot of time at parties with undesirables to the point where he gained a reputation as “a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of…sinners.” (Matthew 11:19) Jesus would sit down next to the LGBT person at this bar. Remember, he came to seek and save all the lost, not just the lost we are comfortable with. Third but he would not automatically assume the LGBT patron was not saved. This all comes down to the question, “Can a practicing homosexual be saved?” Let me answer this with another question: “Can a practicing sinner

PARSONS PEN

BY REVEREND BUBBA be saved?” If your answer is “No” then you and I have a big problem. We are not saved, because we are practicing sinners! We are at the same time justified and sinful. This is the divisive teaching of Jesus. Fourth, he would put his arm around the LGBT person. As we mentioned above, Jesus was “a friend of sinners.” He befriended prostitutes, swindlers, and people whose lives were controlled by sin. Jesus had his arm around them and was laughing at their jokes. He probably handed them a beer or two. He was their friend before anything else. We need to encourage people more to do the same thing.

Fifth, he would have them over to his house. Jesus relationships with sinners was much more than a “hit-and-run” salvation presentation. I think Jesus would be there for them, loving them, listening to their stories, getting to know their family and significant other. Sixth, he would wait for them to ask Him for the hope that is in Him. 1 Peter 3:15 says that we are to live our lives in such a way that unbelievers are perplexed and say “Why do you have hope! I don’t get it. Explain it to me.” There may be an immediate opportunity at the bar or it may take years. Remember you are becoming a friend, not being a hardsell gospel salesman. Seventh, he would share the Gospel. Notice, I did not say“Eighth, he would finally try to convert them out of their homosexuality.”The issue here is to help people understand that they are sinners, not get rid of every sin. That comes later. That is called sanctification. The “Gospel” is that we are at enmity with God and that we need restoration. John 3:16 “does not” say,“For God so loved the world that whosoever believes in him (and stops sinning) will have eternal life.” We must realize that we share the truth with LGBT people the same way we share with any other person. We need to quit identifying them as homosexuals, as if their restoration with God comes through a different path than ours.

In junior boys action Zion Faubert (second from left) carries the ball while Jacob Thomas (from left), Cameron Coombs and Lukas Johnson rally in support.

Riders asked to respect private property The Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium is asking Fox Mountain Trail Network users to respect private property in the area. “Fox Mountain Trail Network users riding Mitch’s Brew and Aflo are asked to exit left on Hamel Drive,” said CMBC president Thomas Schoen. “Do not turn right through the new Lakepoint View development and cut through the trailer park.” Schoen said, additionally, riders cutting down the steep, loose bank to the Tourism Discovery Centre parking lot have caused serious erosion and could jeopardize the Fox Mountain downhill zone due to concerns of private property owners. “We cannot stress enough the importance of staying off these private zones,” he said. “Spread the word and raise awareness to ensure our trails

Martial artists show resolve at BC Open Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Several students from Williams Lake’s Shogun Martial Arts Academy battled their way to medals last month at the BC

Open in White Rock. “Most of the divisions were large so there was some long wait times but the students were required to stay focused and ready to go,” said SMAA Sensei Lee-Ann

Lainchbury. “All of them did a great job handling the situation and, as usual, the tournament was a great experience.” At the event students competed in creative

weapons, kata, point fighting and continuous sparring. Isaac Lauren and Jeremy Munroe both claimed silver medals in creative weapons, while Jaxon Skuratow won bronze.

In kata, Regan Miciuk was the gold medalist, with teammates Kai Richardson and Isaac nabbing silvers. See TEAMMATES Page B3

Continued From Page B2 Kayla Oerlemans and SMAA Sensei Sheldon Lainchbury both scooped bronze medals and Jeremy, Macy Lainchbury and Tyler Oerlemans placed fourth. Point fighting gold medals went to Kayla, Tyler and Regan, with silver medals going to Richardson and Raiden Lainchbury. “It was the first tournament ever for Kayla and Tyler and both did great,” Lee-Ann said. “They listened to their coaches during their fights and were prepared.” In continuous sparring Regan also fought to a bronze medal.

“It was the second time Kai had seen competitive action in a karate tournament and he handled the situation like a pro,” Lee-Ann said. “He fought a brown belt for the final and only lost by a couple of points to earn silver in point fighting. “This is Kai’s first year training with us and I think his experience in competitive chess helps him a lot with handling pressure and seeing his next move.” She said Skuratow, THE

Isaac and Jeremy also all performed extremely well in their creative weapons and kata divisions and each choreographed their own routines. In point fight Regan and fellow SMAA teammate Raiden both competed in the same division, starting off on opposite sides of the draw before winning all their matches and eventually facing off in the final. “It was fun to watch them,” she said. “We didn’t coach either of them and told them to have fun and do their best. It went back and forth at first but Regan came out victorious in the end. They were cautious at first both respecting each other and the fact they were teammates. “Raiden tried some ‘new’ moves on Regan as he didn’t want to use

techniques they always use in class as ‘he would know what was coming.’” The new moves, however, didn’t faze Regan, Lee-Ann said, as he used textbook blitzing techniques in securing the gold. “We were happy and proud for them both to be in the final together and represent themselves and the club so well,” she said. Skuratow, Munroe, Liam and Isaac also competed in point fighting, while Raiden battled in continuous, however, didn’t place in their divisions. “We’re super proud of our team as most of them were sick with some form of cold or flu but still managed to put their best effort forward and have a fun experience,” Lee-Ann said. “Thanks to all the parents for bringing their

room where you plan to install your new unit • What special features are most beneficial to you • Whether you will be installing your new air conditioner by yourself Window units are by far the most popular as they are easy to install and are affordable. Some models can also double as a heater. Most models can be installed in either a single- or double-hung window and typically come with accordion panels that allow for a secure fit. Some models are designed to fit in sliding windows, but they require a support of some kind, such as a wooden plank or a specially designed shelf that can be attached to the exterior of your home. Installing a window unit is an easy DIY project. Just make sure you measure the inside window dimensions before you shop. See more information in our Installing a Window Air Conditioner Project Guide. Portable air conditioners or freestanding units can be used to cool a specific area in a home such as a bedroom. They are easy to set up and don’t require permanent installation.

keep your home cool. Whether you choose a window, portable or built-in wall unit, air conditioners will help keep your home comfortable through the warm summer months. Air conditioners must do three things to properly cool an area: • Lower air temperature • Remove air moisture • Filter the air The air conditioner must also be the right size to perform all of these functions and successfully make the room cool and comfortable. While there are many different types and sizes to choose from, not all air conditioners are created equal. As you shop for your new air conditioner, consider: • Where and how the air conditioner will be installed or used • The size of the

Installing an air conditioner in your home will help you keep cool when the temperatures start to rise. Window, wall and portable A/C units can help offset the heat certain areas of your home experience during the summer. Rooms that are on the second or third level of your home, along with rooms above a garage will benefit. Additionally, your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard to help

ing hot air, much like a clothes dryer is vented. Most portable units have reservoirs that need to be emptied periodically, though some also come with optional hookups for a drainage hose. Some new models evaporate much of the

moisture and exhaust it, greatly reducing the number of times you need empty the container. Portable units can be heavy and they are less efficient than newer window units. When choosing a portable air conditioner, be sure to measure

the room size (length x width) and match the room size with the BTUs on the chart below. Also, be sure to check electrical requirements. Built-in air conditioners can be installed in your wall for permanent placement and operation. Many built-in units provide both cold and hot air operation for more versatile use. They are a great solution for rooms or additions to your house that may not be connected to the central heating and air conditioning system. Wall units are more expensive and they require opening a hole in an exterior wall, which means they can be placed just about anywhere. They don’t take up window space and they allow for a more airtight and secure fit. Many window models can be installed through the wall. Just add a frame to support the unit. Smaller units can be installed by handy do-it-yourselfers. Larger wall units may require professional installation as more parts may be required for proper installation. Submitted by Canadian Tire

Susie moved to Horsefly in 1979 and was a champion of the village from that time on. She helped to found the Horsefly Volunteer Fire Department in 1992 and was a dedicated volunteer for many years. She was a member of various other non-profit organizations over the years. Gary & Susie Clarke were recognized for all their hard work in the community by being elected Citizens of the Year in 1989. During those years Susie worked on the cattle ranch on Lemon Lake Road and managed Clarke’s General Store with founder Ida Clarke.
