Gibraltar Mine lays off 17 workersSeventeen workers at Gibraltar

“Our union is concerned be-cause the layoffs don’t correspond

“We’ve moved from the bot-tom of the pit to higher ground so there’s a shorter haul route,” Bat-tison said.

“As for the hydro reprieve, Gi-braltar did not apply for it yet be-cause the process hasn’t been set up.”

After the layoffs, 480 Unifor

NO TICE OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETINGS

A Supreme Court judge in Williams Lake has found a young mother guilty of com-mon assault of her in-fant son as well as fail-ing to provide him with the necessities of life.

The woman, referred to as SH by the judge to protect her son N’s identity, was 19 when she gave birth to N pre-maturely in September 2011.

In his written judge-ment dated Feb. 26,

2016, Justice Robert Jenkins said SH shook N on six occasions from the time he was a new-born until he was six months old.

She struck him on the head four times between age nine and 12 months, causing bruising.

And she squeezed his torso when he was 10 months old.

“One of these as-saults, committed when N was three or four months, fractured N’s rib,” the judge stated.

Doctors testifying at the trial said SH missed

several appointments scheduled with pe-diatricians due to their concerns. One doctor testified his weight had fallen below five per cent of babies on the growth chart at four months old.

At six months the baby weighed just under 10 pounds.

Based on the doctors’ testimonies, the judge found the mother’s fail-ure to feed the baby endangered his life and would likely have caused his health to be perma-nently injured.

In March 2012, N was admitted to hospi-tal after a doctor called the Ministry of Chil-dren and Family Devel-opment.

When the baby was discharged in April, the ministry placed him in foster care where his caretaker, who also testified at trial, said he began to thrive and was eating well when he spent weekends or peri-ods of days with her.

For her part, the mother testified she had a difficult life and suf-fered from depression.

She told police during an interview in January 2013 at one point she was sleeping 24 hours a day because of her de-pression.

While growing up her parents separated, her father battled alcohol addiction and her step-mother struggled with a drug addiction.

During her teenage years she depended on underage welfare, for lengths of time didn’t have a place to live and stayed in homeless shel-ters and often couch surfed. She also never

lived with a baby in the house and did not have experience caring for babies.

One week before the baby’s birth she moved in with the baby’s father and stayed with him un-til June 2012.

The father, referred to as RH, testified the mother was over-whelmed and frustrated with motherhood, but was often receptive to asking for help.

He testified her de-meanour was desperate, and that she often told the baby to “shut up‚“ if

it was making noise, the judge stated in his writ-ten decision.

“Regarding instances of abuse, RH testified to having seen SH strike N on the head when N cried so as to get him to stop crying. RH also witnessed SH pick N up and ‘squeeze’ him, and on another occasion pull N out from under a desk by his wrists and squeeze him for 20 or 30 seconds following which he took N away from her,” the judge stated.

The woman will be sentenced at a later date.

WLIB upset with decision on land

Last week the Fed-eral Court of Appeal overturned the Specific Claims Tribunal that had ruled in favour of the Williams Lake In-dian Band village site specific claim in 2014.

“Justice has been plucked from the hands of our community,” said WLIB Chief Ann Louie. “The Court approached the judicial review more in the manner of an ap-peal, and we consider the decision unjust, un-fair and unlawful.”

On Monday the band’s leadership was meeting with legal coun-sel to review the decision and determine what steps to take next.

The land subject to the claim is at the foot of Williams Lake.

The area includes Williams Creek, Scout Island, the Stampede Grounds, the downtown core of the city, and a plateau north of the downtown core.

Claims do not return lands to First Nations,

but will instead finan-cially compensate them to a maximum of $10 million.

“Our concern is the judicial review was treat-ed like a court of appeal and when we were there in court in May 2015 many members of our community and our council felt at the time it was wrong the way it was handled,” Louie said, noting the act says the judicial review is there to judge whether the judge erred in apply-ing the act itself not to retry the case,.

Band Councillor Chris Wycotte said he left the appeal back in May feeling apprehen-sive.

“I said we might as well prepare to go to the Supreme Court then,” he said Monday.

In the original tri-bunal decision it was determined the Colony of British Columbia breached its lawful ob-ligations when it failed to protect the Williams Lake Indian Band’s main village from settler pre-emption and reserve

those lands for the Band and that Canada failed to fulfill its fiduciary obligations to the Band when it failed to take measures to return the village lands to them.

In a statement issued Friday the Union of BC Indian Chiefs said the Federal Court sub-stituted vastly different conclusions based on its own review of the facts of the case and dis-missed the Band’s claim on the basis that they received alternate reserve lands as a replacement for their village.

“Canada must seri-ously reflect on the pa-ternalistic, overreaching nature and injustice of the Federal Court’s de-cision,” Grand Chief Stewart Phillip said. “This ruling completely undermines the indepen-dence and authority of the Tribunal that Cana-da established through legislation to restore le-gitimacy to the specific claims process and in so doing further erodes First Nations confidence in the process to resolve these grievances.”

Businesses shine at Chamber awards night

Pride in community and appreciation of staff was the common theme during the acceptance speeches at the Williams Lake and District Cham-ber of Commerce an-nual Business Excellence Awards banquet.

A total of 70 busi-nesses and individuals were in the spotlight and up for nomination in nine categories Saturday night at the Elk’s Hall.

Lake City Ford Sales took home the Greatest Improvement Award with the company’s impres-sive new building and lo-cation along Highway 97.

Lake City Ford Sales general manager David Wong told the crowd he’s proud that the company achieved their goal of hir-ing more than 80 per cent local contractors for the project and that Williams Lake was a great commu-nity to live and work in.

4Sure Bistro took home the Food Services Award with an emotional speech from owner Te-resa Sure who said their goal was to create a fam-ily diner and, through that vision, also gained a second family with their dedicated, hard-working

staff.Lori Macala was

named Community Booster for her many hours volunteering in the community with such groups as the Stampede Association, Williams Lake Studio Theatre, Station House Gallery, Meals on Wheels, Day-break Rotary and the Wil-liams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce.

Macala said she was humbled by the honour and thankful to live in such a wonderful com-munity.

The Child Develop-ment Centre/Cariboo Au-tism Centre took home the Newsmaker of the Year Award with their vision to help local fami-lies living with autism through the building of the new autism centre.

The project received overwhelming communi-ty support from individu-als and businesses.

The Hugo Stahl Me-morial Award was given to Charlene Harrison, an active chamber member for many years.

When she took the stage, Harrison was vis-ibly shaken by the honour and expressed her grati-tude for being recognized

for her work on many committees and task forces in which she advo-cates for positive changes in the community.

It was hats off to the Williams Lake Stampede Association who shone in the spotlight after winning the Hospitality/Tourism Award.

Angie Mindus photoLake City Ford Sales management Devan Koch (left), David Wong (third from left) and Willie DeVuyst accept the Greatest Improvement Award from sponsor Jay Cheek of PMT Chartered Accountants during the Business Excellence Awards Saturday evening.

Celebrating its 90th Stampede this year, past president Fred Thomas attributed the association’s success to its army of some 250 volunteers who work hard to put on the event and the 16,000 fans who take in the rodeo every year.

The Customer Ser-vice Award went to 150 M & S Tire and Ser-vice for their friendly and knowledgable ser-vice and commitment to sponsoring youth sports in the commu-nity.

Pioneer Log Homes of BC received the Manufacturer of the Year Award.

Pioneer’s André Chevigny was given the biggest applause of the night after the Timber

Kings star took to the stage to give an inspi-rational acceptance speech about the pride he has in his family, his 125-plus staff and his community and how

the company uses their position to showcase Williams Lake and Canada and to also give back to deserving causes.

“If you’re not mak-

ing a difference in this world, what are you here for?” he asked the crowd.

The last award of the night was handed out to a surprised Save-On-Foods staff, who took home the coveted 2016 Business of the Year trophy.

Save-On-Foods won the award for making a number of changes and upgrades in the store to exceed customer expec-

tations and needs.Nomination forms

filled out by community members applauded the store’s manager Ran-dall Bamford for the decision to take out the coin slots on the bug-gies and for supporting many efforts and activi-ties in the community.

Bamford thanked the crowd and attributed the store’s success to its more than 100 staff members.

More to discuss than U.S. election

The never-ending U.S. pre-election “news” in the Canadian mainstream media is giving me the pip.

Of course the outcome of the presidential race will have huge impact on us, but there is little we can do to influence the outcome. The antics are entertaining, but enough is enough. There are other issues we could be hearing about. For instance, no matter what your opinion is of Margaret Trudeau, she recently received, from the Simon Fraser University, an award for her work advocating for victims of mental illness. She previously received an honorary law degree from the University of Western Ontario in recognition of this work. Why so little recognition for her?

What about the newly appointed Forest En-hancement Soci-ety? It has $85 mil-lion of taxpayers’ money to spend but its mandate is unclear. Eighty-five million isn’t chump change.

Surely taxpayers should know how it’s spent. The new Societies Act will come in force in November this year, and it merits some publicity, too, as it has some implications for B.C.’s 27,000 non-profit organizations.

Site C will have an horrendous impact on B.C. ‘s future. It would be helpful to have some in-depth reporting on the pros and cons, like why it is such a good idea, and what will be done to mitigate the downsides — i.e. what will replace the agricultural land that will be lost? And what about the plans to sell hydro power to Alberta? We need to have more in-formation on fracking, also, and better expla-nations on just how LNG is environmentally OK.

Australia has successfully used trained dogs to snuff out a noxious weed in a national Park. The four-legged botanists have found hundreds of hawkweed plants in the park that would otherwise have gone undetected. Could dogs be used in the battle against B.C.’s noxious weeds?

Back to the US elections. Some say if Don-ald Trump becomes president, disgruntled Americans will consider moving to Canada. This could be a good opportunity for the Cariboo. We already have those great local videos for attracting doctors, why not get some made to attract U.S. immigrants?

Ranching a way of life

In the Cariboo-Chilcotin, one of the sure signs of spring is the birth of calves in local pastures. Some of our

ranchers have already begun calving, and many more will be starting soon.

This is an exciting season for ranchers, as these calves represent a new year of growth and prosperity for their businesses.

Ranching is a way of life in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. It is important to both the so-cial and economic fabric of our region.

Each year, an average of 33,000 cattle are sold through the Williams Lake Stock-yards.

These cattle come from ranches in and around our area — from Quesnel all the

way south to Clinton.

The first BC Livestock cattle sale of 2016 was held in mid-February, and it looks to be an-

other promising year for our ranchers. The money spent on cattle at these stockyards goes directly to our hardworking ranchers, who invest this money back into our local economy. When they succeed, we all ben-efit.

To ensure ranching continues to have a strong future in our region, it is important that we remain responsive to the needs of industry.

In 2015, our government announced more than $150,000 of funding to Thomp-son Rivers University to establish a new Sustainable Ranching Enterprise Diploma in Williams Lake.

Now underway, this diploma program addresses the needs of the local ranching environment in our region.

It focuses on sustainable management of natural resources and building resilience into ranching enterprises, both at home and abroad.

The diploma program was created by an advisory committee of ranching represen-tatives from our region. It truly is a pro-gram built by industry, for industry.

I am confident that this program will help to prepare students for success in an evolving economy, ensuring the continued prosperity of ranchers in our region for years to come.

Our Viewpoint

Driving to distractionOne would think it wouldn’t still need to

be said.But RCMP and ICBC are again remind-

ing drivers to leave the phone alone.They’re launching yet another campaign

aimed at underlining just how dangerous it is to use a phone while driving.

And it is dangerous.According to ICBC, 25 per cent of all

road deaths in the province involve dis-tracted driving. That’s one in four.

And, according to the Insurance Insti-tute for Highway Safety, the odds of crash-ing increase five times when using a phone, whether dialing, texting, reading or using social media.

In the Lower Mainland, it’s estimated that 27 people are killed in distracted driv-ing-related crashes every year.

Faced with those numbers, it’s hard to imagine why drivers would still use their phone while they’re behind the wheel.

But they do. According to a recent survey by Ipsos Reid, 34  per cent of cell phone users said they use their phone be-

tween one and five times out of every 10 trips.

“It’s time we all commit to leaving our phones alone and avoid other forms of distraction when we’re behind the wheel,” said Lindsay Matthews, ICBC’s director responsible for road safety.

This month police will be on the roads watching for drivers who have not yet got the message.

“We’re cracking down on those who cannot police themselves.” said Chief Constable Neil Dubord, Chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police Traffic Safety Committee. “Even when you’re at a red light or in slow moving traffic — you’re still in control of a vehicle — and the law still applies.”

But we can all be part of the solution. Talk to your family, talk to your friends and remind them that if they’re driving without their full attention on the road they’re an accident waiting to happen.

Question of the weekPublic should lobby on tie bidEditor:

The decision by the Ministry of Environment to allow Atlantic Power to increase the amount of rail ties to 50 per cent of their fuel supply is fast approaching.

The pressure is on all of us to advocate for limiting the pollut-ants in not only our air shed but the complete biome (air, water, soil) but as well to advocate for our local economy and commu-nity.

This permit affects not only the environment but the economy, both of which have an effect not only on the health and well being of individuals but of the commu-nity as a whole.

All of us, no matter if we live in town or out of town, depend on toxin free air, adequate supply of clean water, soil that is not leach-ing toxins into the groundwater and fugitive dust blowing in the

wind. Allowing Atlantic Power to for-

go the huge amounts of forestry road side logging debris for toxic rail ties will adversely affect the economic well being of the com-munity.

It will cast a negative pall on the community and no matter what the company tells us or even if the Ministry of Environment allows this permit the stain will stick.

How many potential retirees, young families locked out of the Lower Mainland, doctors and other skilled workers will not lo-cate here because of rail ties.

How many possible logging/trucking jobs will not be utilized cleaning up the huge amount of road side logging debris and bee-tle killed wood because Atlantic Power can make huge money in tipping fees disposing of rail ties?

It was very clear at last week’s information meeting that confi-

dence in the government to pro-tect our interests is nonexistent and rightly so for attendance at the meeting by elected officials was less than sparse.

It was even more clear that there was no trust in corporations which is exactly what we keep hearing from Atlantic Power.

“Trust us, our employees live here and are experts, they have families…”

We as a community need to take a hard look and decide if the short term profits to Atlantic Power are worth the legacy we will have to endure long after the Williams Lake Power Plant has ceased to be, when the community no lon-ger collects the taxes, for the con-sequences to us will be long lived in the ash pile, the loss of jobs and ill health of all of us.

Who determines who is biased?Editor:

Letter writer Bernd Eisle con-siders me biased. Isn’t he also? Who isn’t biased? Do you consider yourself Conservative or NDP, capitalist or communist, choose life or pro choice, Christian, athe-ist or Church of Environmental Nuttiness?

He believes I have an uneducat-ed opinion about refugees. I have read a multitude of articles and a few books (Ayan Hirst Ali, Mark Stein) regarding Moslem integra-tion in Europe. I would say I have a common sense, practical view, with effort we can relatively, safely accommodate 10,000 refugees, Trudeau is planning to bring in

50,000 by end of the year. Already, thousands of refugees are being put up in hotels at public expense, many families say they feel trapped in hotels and some would prefer to be back in camps in Lebanon and Jordan.  

Why didn’t Mr. Eisle mention Germany when he wrote of “an-other country” taking in 1,000,000 refugees? Possibly because of the social chaos that has resulted?

Mr. Eisle questions my assertion that refugees come from a mysogy-nistic culture. He must live in a po-litically correct alternate universe. I recommend anyone read Ayaan Hirst Ali’s book INFIDEL.   She was a Moslem refugee in Holland which is 49 per cent Moslem due

to their open door, unrestricted immigration policy. She and film maker Theo Van Gogt made a film called “SUBMISSION” in which the film addresses the crimes of violence and honour killings per-petrated against Moslem women and girls in Holland. She wanted Holland to wake up and stop tol-erating the oppression of Muslim women in its midst.

Lastly, I got the figure of 420 homeless in Williams Lake from Wayne Lucier, CMHA, who has the unenviable and formidable job of helping find homes, he is the homeless advocate here.

What measures will gov’t take to safeguard air qualityEditor:

Re: the Atlantic Power Cor-poration proposal to burn rail-way ties at its bio-solids plant in Williams Lake (an open let-ter to the Ministry of Environ-ment).

I’m very concerned about the proposal by Atlantic Power Corporation to burn treated railway ties in the captive envi-ronment of the Williams Lake valley.

The Atlantic Power plant in Williams Lake is located in a bowl subject to frequent tem-perature inversions.

Atlantic Power claims any smoke emissions of toxic sub-

stances they want to burn will be below the provincial guide-lines.

Can you please explain to me the science behind these provin-cial guidelines?

Can you assure me that furans and dioxins will not accumulate in the Williams Lake environ-ment as a result of burning rail-way ties in the Atlantic Power generation facility?

I am very concerned that these toxic substances will turn Williams Lake into an undesir-able, unhealthy place to live.

I am also very concerned about the ash residue.

Since 1993, ash from the ener-gy plant burner has been stock-

piled on the lacustrine bench above the Williams Lake River Valley. This seems like a very foolish place to store hazardous material prone to enter the Wil-liams Lake River watershed and subsequently the Fraser River.

If permission is given to burn railway ties, it is my un-derstanding that the ash will become more toxic than it cur-rently might be.

According to reports pro-duced by Atlantic Power, the furans and dioxins will increase in the ash exponentially. If the proposal to up to burn 50 per cent railway ties is granted by your ministry, the furans and dioxins will increase by 1,600

per cent.I’m concerned about leeching

into the water table, sloughing into the Williams Lake River Valley and subsequently ero-sion into the Fraser River, and wind erosion.

How will you protect Wil-liams Lake citizens and the en-vironment from contamination by wind blowing this poisonous ash around?

What safety measures will you demand Atlantic Power Corporation take to store this toxic ash in a safe and con-tained manner?

Sage BirchwaterWilliams Lake

Police suspect gang activity is to blame for the latest violent act in Williams Lake, this time with a woman be-ing robbed at gunpoint for $75 worth of gro-ceries downtown early Sunday evening.

Williams Lake Staff Sgt. Del Byron said a distraught 28-year-old victim flagged down police at the corner of Borland Street and 7th Avenue, across from Boitanio Park, at about 6:30 p.m.

The victim told po-lice she had just been walking from Save-On-Foods to her sister’s house with groceries

in the back alley be-hind Denny’s Restau-rant when she was approached by four females flashing Indian Outlaw gang signs who began to verbally as-sault her and demand she hand over her pos-sessions.

Byron said the victim told police she began fighting with her at-tackers until one pro-duced a handgun and pointed it at her chest.

The victim then left her groceries and ran away, but tried to keep an eye on the suspects, who were last seen leav-ing the area through the Sandman Hotel parking lot and walk-ing toward the back alley near the Boys and

Girls Club.Byron said police im-

mediately established a perimeter and searched the area with the assis-tance of the police dog service, however, no suspects were located.

He noted the victim told police she was not a member of the IO’s rival gang, the 712s, however, is believed to be dating a prolific of-fender and 712 gang member, which may have made her a target.

The suspects are de-scribed as First Nations females, one with a handgun and one with bear spray. The victim noted one suspect was wearing black pants with silver lettering and beading while another

had a black Fox sweat-er on.

Byron said the victim did not recognize any of the suspects.

If anyone has infor-mation on this crime they are asked to con-tact CrimeStoppers or the local RCMP de-tachment at 250-392-6211.

Vehicle theft lands two youth in custody

A police foot chase into the Tolko log yard early Tuesday morn-ing resulted in officers catching two youth suspected of stealing a vehicle from Pearkes Drive.

Staff Sgt. Del Byron said officers were quick

to respond to a com-plaint of the vehicle theft minutes earlier at 3:18 a.m. Tuesday, with police locating the sus-pect vehicle travelling south on Highway 97.

Byron said the two youth, aged 15 and 16, were arrested follow-ing a brief foot chase and RCMP are recom-mending charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, theft of a motor vehicle and possession of break and enter tools.

The RCMP want to remind the community to report any suspi-cious activity to the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211, or through Crime Stop-pers at 1-800-222-8477.

City awards 153 Mile Store relocation contractCouncil awarded

the 153 Mile Store relocation contract to McGinn Engi-

neering and Pres-ervation Ltd. for a total not exceeding $28,000, excluding

GST; and further, that Council add a budget of $35,000 for the work to the proposed 2016 An-nual Budget.

More council briefs are as follows:

• The owner of the burned building at Williams Inn has received a 90-day de-molition compliance order.

• Council has scrapped the idea of supporting a round about for the inter-section at Proctor

Street near the exit of the Cariboo Me-morial Recreation Complex due to higher than antici-pated costs.

Mayor Walt Cobb said council had budgeted $250,000 toward the project, but the estimates came in at $300,000 more than that.

“There was no way we could afford it,” Cobb said.

“There will just be the four-way stop there instead.”

Six First Nation com-munities say the B.C. government should have consulted with them be-fore signing an accord with the Tsilhqot’in in February.

Last week the Lhtako Dene Nation in Quesnel and the four Northern Secwepemc te Qelmuc (NStQ) communities of Canim Lake Indian Band (Tsq’escen’), Wil-liams Lake Indian Band (T’exelc), Soda Creek Indian Band (Xats’ull) and Stswecem’c/Xgat’tem (Canoe Creek /Dog Creek Indian Band), issued press re-leases voicing their con-cerns.

“The land claimed by the Tsilhqot’in in the ac-

cord covers a huge area of central B.C. includ-ing significant portions of Secwepemc terri-tory and that of other neighbouring First Nation communities,” the NStQ board of di-rectors stated in a press release.

Lhtako Dene (Red Bluff) Chief Terry Boucher congratulated the Tsilhqot’in people on their success in ne-gotiating the agreement, but said her community is concerned the accord will impact their terri-tory.

“We expect that both B.C. and the Tsilhqot’in Nation will work with us to resolve this overlap before further steps are taken to implement the accord within our terri-tory,” Boucher said.

The NStQ leaders also acknowledged the different cultures, in-terests and governance structures of its First Nations neighbours and “sincerely thanked the leaders of Lhoosk’uz Dene First Nation and Lhtako Dene First Na-tion for their support and concern in extend-ing a unified message regarding the lack of provincial consultation and colonial attitude regarding the future of our lands.”

Responding to their concerns, the Tsilhqot’in National Government said it plans to meet with neighbouring First Nation communities in the coming weeks to discuss moving forward and working together on reconciling mutual

interests.“Misunderstandings

have a way of getting the best of people,” said TNG Chair Chief Joe Alphonse.

“We must celebrate this agreement for what it is. We are at the begin-ning of conversations between ourselves and government to recon-cile our interests in the land and wildlife and to acknowledge that, we as First Nation people, are rightfully the appro-priate governors of our own Nations.”

Alphonse said the Tsilhqot’in have tra-ditional ways and a cultural duty to work through conversations with their neighbouring First Nations, and they look forward to these conversations..

Show highlights prom and wedding fashionA sampling of the latest styles

in wedding gowns and party dresses available at BFF Fash-ions and Brides and Belles were featured on the fashion runway at the WOW 2016: Women, Op-portunities and Weddings event Sunday.

Held at Thompson Rivers University, WOW 2016 raised $2,300 for the Women’s Contact Society’s Beauty from the Inside Out Program for teen girls, says event co-ordinator Ashlee Hyde.

The show featured 18 ensem-bles including wedding dresses, evening dresses, prom dresses, and dresses for little flower girls, Hyde says.

Six peer helpers with the Beauty from the Inside Out pro-gram in Grades 8 through 12 helped out with the event and some of them also participated in the fashion show, Hyde says.

“The girls were an amazing help looking after the vendors, offering sandwiches, coffee and tea,” Hyde says.

About 100 people attended the event which featured dis-plays by 33 vendors featuring everything from jewellery to clothing, to body care products and more.

“We had a successful and fun event,” Hyde says in thanking the event sponsors, helpers and those who attended the event.

COMMUNITY

Robin, Hannah, and Chloe, alongside the Kaufman and Storoschuk families, would like to express our extreme gratitude for the loving support we’ve all received since Laura’s sudden passing February 14th 2016. Our Cariboo Community has taken care of us and accommodated our every need during this time of devastating loss. It is said that grief can be lessened and healing can begin with the sharing of talk, touch, tears, and time. All of you, our friends and neighbours, have given us these things in abundance and it is so greatly appreciated.

Talk: We thank you for all the messages, memories, and pictures shared with us. We are thankful for the beautiful tributes and eulogy.

Touch: We thank you for all the hugs and gestures of strength. Grief shared is grief abated.

Tears: We thank you for sharing your tears. Laura always enjoyed a good cry and knew that it is a healthy part of being human.

Time: Greatest of all. The generous involvement of so many people from the � rst day to the organizing and participation in the Celebration of Laura’s life was amazing. This gift from every corner of our community has allowed us the time we needed to grieve and recover from the shock.

The profound outpouring of compassion, volunteer help, and contributions from our Cariboo Community to our families is genuinely appreciated. We are deeply moved and feel that all of the love and support we received re� ects the endless love that Laura shared with everyone in her life.

Fear is Temporary; Regret is Forever

AThe School District

27 board and staff are wrapping up a series of public meet-ings this week that have been held to gather input on three issues.

The district is seek-ing input on: a new strategic plan; rural education; and possi-ble changes to trustee electoral boundaries.

The final public meeting takes place at Big Lake Elemen-tary School Thurs-day, March 10 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Turnout at the meetings has been fairly low with only two parents turning out for the meeting at Lake City Second-ary’s Williams Lake

campus Thursday, March 3; eight at 100 Mile House meeting Feb. 25; 20 at the Tat-la Lake meeting Feb. 24; and 10 at Nemiah meeting Feb. 29.

Board Chair Tanya Guenther shared the numbers after the meeting in Williams Lake last Thursday evening.

She said a report on the consulta-tion process findings would be released at the March 29 board meeting.

In seeking input for a new strate-gic plan the board is asking people to tell them about their best learning experi-ence when they were in school; what the

district is doing well; and what opportu-nities that are not currently in place, do they see as being valuable for students.

When it comes to rural education they are asking what is working; what can be done better; and for any other comments they would like to make.

Three options are being proposed for updating the trustee electoral area voting process, considering mail-in ballots, and reducing the number of polling stations.

Options include the following.

• Maintain seven zones and conform to CRD boundaries (mostly affecting the Williams Lake and its fringe areas).

• Reduce the dis-trict to three electoral zones with elections at large for 100 Mile House area (three trustees); Williams Lake area three trust-ees); and Rural (west and east one trustee).

• Reduce to two zones with elections at large: 100 Mile House area (three trustees); Williams Lake area plus west and east rural areas (four trustees).

Guenther said most people are in favour of keeping the cur-rent seven zones with some boundary ad-justments.

More information is available on the district website at www.sd27.bc.ca.

Photo submittedTletinqox Chief Joe Alphonse (left) accepts a donation of $15,000 from Walmart manager John Donnelly, for the 40th Annual B.C. Elders Gathering coming to the lakecity this July, along with event organizing committee members Cecil Grinder and Darwin Stump.

Walmart helps Elders gathering Organizers of the

40th Annual B.C. El-ders Gathering com-ing to the lakecity this summer are thrilled to receive a $15,000 donation for the event from Walmart.

“We would like to thank Walmart, Wil-liams Lake, B.C, for stepping up and tak-ing a lead to be one of our major sponsors,” Chief Joe Alphonse said in a press release accepting the funds this week.

Hosted by Tletinqox Government Office the 40th Annual B.C. Elders Gathering will take place July 11 to 14.

Events open to the public during the gath-ering include a Tent City in the Stampede grounds, First Nations arts and crafts exhibi-tors from all across Canada featured in the Curling Rink, and a Wild West Show.

There is no charge to watch the Wild West Show, or visit the Tent City, but there will be a $2 daily fee to visit the arts and craft exhibits.

The gathering of Elders is not a public event.

The Elders will par-ticipate in workshops, tours, and will have a special time of their own to visit the arts and crafts exhibits.

“This Gathering is all about our Elders,”

Alphonse said. “It’s about honour-

ing our Elders and giv-ing back to them.

“This gathering has been such a huge suc-cess in the past years, it is going into its 40th year, and Tletinqox Government Office, is honoured to be the host community for the event.”

More than 3,000 El-ders and as many as 10,000 other visitors are expected to con-verge in the city for the gathering, Alphonse said.

“We are expecting over $1 million to be dropped in the city’s economy,” Alphonse said.

“Not all Elders will

use our services that we will provide for them, and they will venture out into the city, and so we are asking all businesses to be aware of this major event, and be prepared.”

He said the event or-ganizers still need ma-jor support in many areas such as financial and volunteer resourc-es, to co-ordinate some tours and workshops for our Elders.

People who would like to volunteer at the event are asked to con-tact the volunteer co-ordinator Betty Derk-son at 250-392-3918.

More information is also available at the main website at www.eldersgathering.ca.

Awana races full of excitement

Becky Edinger photos Awana Club members Carmen Dyck, Kolbee Iverson, Josh Noble, and Connor Iverson watch their cars race down the track as judges Rod Voth, Pam McIntosh, Tony Dickens, John Nairn, and Brenda McCauley monitor the race.

The Awana Club miniature car races held at Maranatha Christian School at-tracted more than 60

entries in four catego-ries to compete for one of 25 trophies.

Mitchell Blusson’s car beat every other car in the races to earn him the top title of Master Racer 2016 at the races held on the Feb. 27-28 week-end.

The Awana Club is a Christian boys and girls club run by the Evangelical  Free Church on 11th Av-enue.

For the annual Awana Club races each club member shapes a racing car from a block of wood to race down a set track, four at a time. Cars come in every shape from sleek rac-ing cars to trucks and one even shaped like a Tootsie Roll.

The event is very exciting and includes parents and siblings who catch the racing  fever.

Children from Kindergarten to Grade 6 are welcome to join the Awana Club which meets at the Church on 11th Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 7:15 p.m.

There are two ac-tivity age groups, Sparkies who are in the Kindergaren to Grade 2 age group and T & T, who are

in the grades three to six age group. Older youth are accepted as junior helpers.

Meetings include games time, work book Bible study and big group chapel time.

For more informa-

tion about the pro-gram call Lori Get-son at 250-296-3155.

“Over the years I had become numb to racism against me – one time I was at the Greyhound get-ting a ticket for the bus and the sales clerk treated me with dis-dain in her words, her tone and her actions while doing up my ticket. 

My partner advocated for me and addressed the racist actions made by the sales clerk.

Then my advocate asked me, “Did you notice that the sales clerk was being racist toward you.” 

I felt so dejected and depressed knowing that and I just became numb to racism against me.

I have become more observant now and learned to address the issue of racism against me or anyone else, as I have become an advocate against racism.”

Mary’s numbness did not inter-fere with her ability to lead a very full and successful life.  Despite the underlying obstacles of rac-ism Mary moved forward and is an accomplished dancer, author, public speaker, mother, grand-mother and forever an advocate. 

Mary Thomas is of Secwepemc ances-try.  She is one of 10 children born to Rita (Frank) and Jim Charley from Canim Lake, B.C. 

C a n i m Lake is one of 17 na-tions with-in the Sec-wepemc nation in the interior of Brit-ish Columbia.

Mary spent part of her upbring-ing in the St. Jo-seph’s Mission and Prince George Col-lege.  She was able to spend some time on the Canim Lake re-serve with her people at Christmas time and during the sum-mer.

In her last year at Prince George Mary transferred to 100

Mile House Junior Sec-ondary School and grad-uated high school. 

Mary has her Bach-elor of Science degree which was attained at

the College Univer-sity of Bucking-

hamshire in the UK. 

Since then Mary has fine-tuned her skills at TRU, Justice

Institute of BC, Francis Xavier

University and Nicola Valley Insti-

tute of Technology.  Through the years

she has also served on many committees and boards in the Cariboo Chilcotin, as well as, assisted in the start up of a Friendship Centre in 100 Mile House.

Mary is proud of her Secwepemc heri-

tage and firmly be-lieves in sharing

her culture, values, and customs with others wherever she may travel. 

Some destinations have been to North Island of New Zealand to share with the Maori people throughout the region and Eng-land to co-author a book, Cari-bou Factory with renowned art-ist/writer Helen Hawley.

Mary is also almost ready to publish her own book Aboriginal Rights and Healing Go Hand in Hand.

Mary has three sons and one daughter who are all grown and on their own.  Mary has 18 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Being ‘close’ to retirement, Mary has settled at Sugarcane, Williams Lake. 

Mary presently works at the Cariboo Friendship Society in the Aboriginal Wellness Program and is on her second term on the Board with the South Cariboo Community Planning Council and is a Board member for the All Nations Arts Society in the Cariboo Chilcotin.

A Williams Lake Wrestling Club grappler showed heart and determination to become the first wrestler from the club to win gold at a provincial wrestling champi-onship.

Eleven-year veteran Braden Conrod achieved the feat in the 66-kilogram division at the event, held Feb. 27-28 in Abbotsford, to become the first wrestler in the WLWC’s 19-year history to win top spot.

Braden’s former coach and WLWC founder, Rick Bryan, was also at the tournament adding to the significance of the moment.

“I have never seen such focus, determination and heart from an athlete,” said WLWC head coach and Braden’s mom, Sonia Con-rod.

In the final Braden was matched up with last year’s national bronze medalist, Nick Lew.

“The crowd expected the Coast Wrestling Academy Wrestler to defeat this small-town kid, no problem,” Sonia said.

The end came when Braden re-versed a gutwrench, locked Lew’s chin and pulled butterfly for the

pin.“The crowd erupted. There was

a standing ovation from the whole building,” she said.

The match was subsequently voted best match of the finals, and also grants Braden a berth to the national wrestling champion-

ships.“[Rick] was sitting in Braden’s

corner with me for all his matches and it was an honour to have him there with us to share this expe-rience,” Sonia said. “Braden is the last of the original members from when Rick was here. He

also started Braden in the sport in Grade 1.”

The rest of the competition, where several other WLWC wres-tlers put together strong results, was intense, Sonia said.

“All our athletes were awe-some,” she said. “Every weight class was a double knockout bracket draw with top competi-tors from all over the province. Most of our young athletes were in Grade 8 so the experience was incredible for them.”

Niko Kirner, in the 70kg divi-sion, placed 15th. Nathan Pres-ton, meanwhile, in the 84-kg divi-sion was 12th.

Also in Grade 8 Cierra Belle-rose, at 47 kg, finished 10th.

Molly Lamb, in what Sonia said was a very tough 69-kg divi-sion, just missed the podium by taking eighth overall, however, finished high enough to qualify for the national championships.

“Everyone fought hard and I’m very proud of all our athletes and the effort they put in,” she said. “Getting to experience this was amazing for all of them.”

Braden and Lamb are now training for the national wrestling championships, coming up April 14-17 in Calgary, Alta.

Fitzgerald swims to bronze medal at AAA championships

Williams Lake Blue Fins member Taylor Fitzgerald placed in the top eight of five out of six swims dur-ing the weekend in Victoria at the Swim BC AAA Champion-ships.

“Taylor had some great swims as she bettered most of her times in every event she swam,” Blue Fins head coach Chad Webb said.

Fitzgerald start-ed day one of the competition finish-ing eighth in the 200-metre individual medley, fourth in the 50-metre breast-stroke and sixth in the 100-metre back-stroke.

“[It was] a busy day for her as she fin-ished her fifth race of the day posting great times,” Webb said.

On day two Fitzgerald raced in the 200-metre back-stroke and qualified

for the finals with a three-second im-provement to her best time to scoop up the bronze medal.

Day three saw Fitzgerald place ninth in the 200-me-tre breaststroke and eighth in the 50-me-tre backstroke.

Webb added he was extremely hap-py with Fitzgerald’s performance and credits her results to hard work in daily practices.

“She works hard every day and betters herself every chance she gets,” he said.

“Taylor is becom-ing a great competi-tor and one of the top swimmers on the team. She is such a pleasure to coach.”

The Williams Lake Blue Fins will now wind down over spring break and will resume the long course season in April.

BC Lions to visit high school todayHigh school students

in Williams Lake will have an opportunity to meet with members of the Canadian Football League’s BC Lions.

Offensive guard T-Dre Player and fullback Rolly Lumbala will be presenting the team’s Be More Than A By-stander initiative — a campaign directed at eliminating violence towards women — at both Lake City Second-ary School’s Colum-neetza and Williams Lake campuses.

The visit is part of a multi-day stop in com-munities throughout the province this week, which also includes 100

Mile House and Ques-nel.

The Be More Than A Bystander program aims to break the si-lence surrounding vio-lence against women and girls by providing tools, language and practical ideas about how to be more than a bystander, how to speak up and how to communicate that vio-lence and abuse is not acceptable.

In 2012 Lions quar-terback Travis Lulay and offensive lineman Angus Reid visited LCSS to give the same presentation, which was well received by stu-dents and staff.

The Williams Lake Men’s Basketball League wrapped up last Wednesday eve-ning where Team White downed Team Black in the final, 66-57.

Team White, cap-tained by Mike Wa-terhouse, entered the final with an 8-2 re-cord on the season. Team Black, mean-while, were the heavy underdogs in the con-

test after their captain, Travis Nystroyk, and their leading scorer, Cody Wakefield, both missed the game.

Black, however, made it a dog fight all the way through, said Waterhouse, but fell short in the end.

Team Black was led by the combo of Jason Ward and Matt Ka-zanowski, who both dropped 14 points a piece.

Kolby Taylor led all Team White scorers with 19 points, while Waterhouse and Bha-van Mann each scored 14.

Prior to the final Team Black defeated Team Red, captained by Ruel Anderson, 66-45.

Team Red played shorthanded with four players and made it in-

teresting after trailing by just four points at the half.

Team Black, how-ever, ultimately pulled ahead in the end for the win.

Following the final individual awards were presented.

The league’s most sportsmanlike player went to Dan Huesken of Team Black.

Luke Moger of Team White picked up rookie of the year.

The best defensive player went to Ander-son.

And the most in-

spirational player was won by Willie Harde-man of Team Red.

“Willie is 61 years old and is still one of the best players in the league and probably the best pure shooter in the league,” Water-house said.

“What he does at his age is unbelievable, competing against guys half his age and putting up some mon-ster numbers.”

Waterhouse said the players would like to thank Martin Kruus for running and orga-nizing the league. He also thanked Jagdish Sras from Subway for supplying the year-end awards.

“Jag is a very big supporter to the com-munity and we can’t thank him enough for all his contributions.”

Thanks for the adventure Matilda!

Mt. Timothy launches quantity-based season pass saleMt. Timothy Ski

Area is starting up its spring season pass sale starting March 11, but

with a twist toward a quantity-based cam-paign.

Instead of setting

price increases based on a specific date, season passes will be available on a first-

come, first-served ba-sis.

The lowest price tiers will be $299 for adults, $228 for youth (13-18), $179 for ju-nior and $228 for se-nior, which are all 50 per cent off the final pass price.

Once a preset amount of passes are sold at the least expen-sive amount, the price will increase to the next tier.

“The quantity-based approach is used when booking airline tickets and we are eager to try new things,” said Caroline Sherrer, Mt. Timothy Ski Area gen-eral manager.

“We are hopeful this will encourage our guests to purchase their season pass early

to ensure the best price while providing us with some much-need-ed capital to reinvest into the ski hill this summer.”

The ski area will also be offering a new ticket package, a corporate season pass, starting at $499. The new pass is transferable and can be shared.

“We recognize there are many local compa-nies who would pur-chase a transferable pass to offer their em-ployees as a benefit,” Sherrer said.

Season passes are available online at http://skitimothy.lti-booking.com/ or at Mt. Timothy Ski Ar-ea’s pro shop until the close of the season on March 28.

In loving memory

Jean Rosamond Rich (nee Graham)

December 22, 1921 – March 2, 2016

Jean (aka Grandma Jean) was born in Edwin, Manitoba and grew up in nearby Dauphin. She

worked for the Dept of Veterans Aff airs in Ottawa and trained as a nurse in Vancouver before meeting her husband to be, Emil (Slug) Rich, who with his brother Freddie horse logged in the Horsefl y area. Th ey married in August 1951. Th ey would have three sons and Jean raised her family at their mill, Crescent Lumber, located on Slater Mountain prior to relocating to the house they built at Comer Hill. Th ere was a later move to South Lakeside, and fi nally aft er divorce in 1978, Jean settled into Highwood Park, and then in 1985 moved to her forever home where she tenaciously lived until her passing “the next time I move it will be six feet under”!

Jean spent many hours volunteering and found much joy in giving a helping hand to; Glendale school library, supporting many bake sales and supplying the teacher’s with fresh bread. She babysat for friends and church members, delivered Meals on Wheels, and baked for the Seniors Activity Centre. She was a long time member of the Skyline WI, Royal Canadian Legion Auxiliary, Seniors Centre & the OAPO.

Her hobbies included knitting, crocheting and ceramics from which she lovingly created countless blankets, mittens, socks, scarves, adorable baby outfi ts and knick knacks that were usually donated to the hospital, seniors centre, or given away to family and friends. Th e annual spring return of the many birds to her feeders on her deck was cause for much celebration and happiness. Events such as Church Gatherings, Saturday Bingo at the Seniors Centre, and charging around town with bff `s in her little red Chevette would get Jean out of her favourite chair and briefl y away from her Soaps, Jeopardy, Mystery Shows, Solitaire, making lists and writing in her diaries.

She will now watch over her family from above: {Allan (Eva), Suzanne (James), Calvin (Kelly) [Ethan, Austin, Chloe, Ashton], Derek( Jaclyn)}; {Brian (Kathy), Jennifer (Dave)}; {Wayne (Deanna) Michelle (Chris) [Adam , Katelyn], Corrie (Curtis), [Bowen]}. Jean is predeceased by her parents James & May Graham, sister Nellie, brother’s Harold, Albert, & Len (TUGREEBA), husband Emil & daughter-in-law Eva.

Jean touched the hearts of so many and we will all remember her streak of stubbornness, her infectious laughter, loving spirit and big hugs. It takes a community of many people, professionals, and loving friends to support an `independent senior`. Th e family extends huge hugs and thanks to the many special people who gave of their time so generously over the years: Home Care Workers, Meals on Wheels Volunteers, LifeLine, Better at Home, Mormon Church members, fellow Gardner Court residents, Doctors York and Ruane, Lee at WL Hearing Clinic, and countless others (you know who you are) who helped support us in so many ways, fulfi lling Mom’s wish to remain living on her own. A shout out to Norm Denny, Ray Shields & the Taylor Automotive Team for keeping the pistons purring on that little red 1980 Chevette for 30+ yrs as well .

“Give Me a Hug”Services will be held at 1 pm on March 9th at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 3039 Edwards Drive, with interment to follow at the Williams Lake Cemetery. Th ose wishing to honor Jean’s memory may do so by way of donation to the Senior’s Centre or to a charity of their choice.

JAMES HENRYCOOPER

Jan. 17, 1938 - Feb. 10, 2016

It is with great sadness that the family of James Henry Cooper announce his passing on February 10, 2016 after a lengthy battle with COPD. Jim was predeceased by his wife of 31 years, Janice Cooper, sister Isabel Webster and brother Huntley Cooper. He is survived by his brother Tom (Betty) Cooper and sister Mary (Ron) Bernt; his children Terry (Joanne) Cooper, Doug (Kathy) Cooper, David (Glenna) Cooper, Luanne (Jeff) Newman and Cheryl Cooper. He will be missed by his 10 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews.

Jim’s work took him to Sayward, Quesnel, Williams Lake and the Kamloops and Barriere area. He loved being outdoors and cherished the fact that his wife was at his side as he worked.

We would like to thank the Doctors and Nurses of G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital especially Jacquie for allowing Jim and Janice to have a peaceful passing together.

There will be no service by request.

PILKINGTON, (MARTIN) JODY ALLANJuly 18, 1979 – February 1, 2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jody Allan

Martin Pilkington on February 1, 2016. Jody is survived by his two beautiful daughters, Jordyn (14)

and Rylee (12), his Parents Lynda and Glen Martin of Oyama, Doug and Shawn Pilkington of Williams

Lake, his sister Bobbi and niece and nephew, Marcella and Emanuel, plus

numerous extended family and friends.

Celebration of Life will be held on March 19, 2016 at Gatzke’s Farm in Oyama, B.C. at 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm.

You never said you were leaving, You never said good-bye.

You were gone before we knew it, And only you know why.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still.

In our hearts we hold a place, That only you can fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone.

A part of us went with you, The day that you went home.

What’s on the A T R I B U N E F E AT U R E ?

� e Hearth Restaurant at the Cariboo Friendship Society serves breakfast and lunch seven days a week, says manager Shannon Holmes.

“We just started having daily lunch specials for something di� erent,” Holmes said this week. “We still have our lunch bu� et, but now we only serve it on Fridays.” 

Located in the Cariboo Friendship Society building at 99 � ird Avenue South across from the movie theatre, the restaurant is open Sunday to Saturday.

From Monday to Friday they are open from 6:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays they are open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

� e restaurant o� ers good home cooked meals, such as pork chops, mashed potatoes and vegetables, salisbury steak or things such as hamburgers. 

When she plans the Friday bu� ets, Holmes goes with di� erent themes.

For example, at a recent bu� et they served Mexican food.  

“� is upcoming Friday we will serve liver and chicken at the bu� et,” Holmes said, noting they like to try a variety of foods.

Holmes grew up in Williams Lake and Quesnel and has been working at the restaurant for 22 years. 

She started o� as a dishwasher, became a cook and nine years ago when the previous manager le� , she got the position.  “It’s like a big family here at the Cariboo Friendship Society,” Holmes said.  “Everybody looks out for each other.” 

� e restaurant is fully open to the public, and sta� also prepare meals three times a day to send upstairs for the people who are living in the shelter at the CFS. 

Greg Sabatino photoMembers of the Williams Lake Gymnastics Club, Kate Altwasser (from left), Nya Chutskoff, Kalli Campbell, Marajade Goertz, Allysia Irawan and Jazmine Crombie-Smith recently returned from the Quesnel Gold Pan Invitational where they picked up multiple medals in various events.

Gymnasts bring home medals from Quesnel

Members of the Wil-liams Lake Gymnas-tics Club bounced and flipped their way to multiple medals late last month at the Ques-nel GoldPan Invita-tional.

For most it was the club’s first meet of the competitive gymnastics season, where gym-nasts Kalli Campbell, Nya Chutskoff, Allysia Irawan, Jazmine Crom-bie-Smith and Mara-jade Goetz represented the lakecity.

In Junior Olympic Program level one it was a one, two, three sweep for the WLGC.

Irawan finished first overall to bring home gold, taking first in vault and beam, and capturing second on bars and floor.

Second overall was Crombie-Smith, while Goetz was third.

“The best part for me was getting the med-als,” Irawan said.

“Vault and beam were my best events. I had awesome coaches and I practiced hard.”

C r o m b i e - S m i t h agreed receiving their medals was fun.

“I stayed tight on the vault and had good form,” she said.

Goetz, meanwhile, enjoyed the competitive aspect of the meet.

“My favourite was competing,” she said.

“Gymnastics is really my thing and I like do-ing it a lot. I even prac-tice in my living room.”

In the JOP level three division Campbell was fifth overall, and Chuts-koff was eighth.

Campbell’s best even was floor, where she got second. Chutskoff, meanwhile, was fifth on vault and fifth on floor.

“Getting to meet new people from different places is fun,” Chuts-koff said.

The WLGC also brought home two team awards from the com-petition.

In the JOP level one division the team placed first, while in the JOP level three division, the team finished second.

The team will now continue training for its next meet, coming up in April.

Sprickerhoff third at Spring Run Off

Williams Lake’s Conlan Sprickerhoff placed third Sunday during the 2016 Spring Run Off in Kamloops.

The Thompson Riv-ers University Cross Country Team runner crossed the finish line in the men’s 20-24 age division in 35 minutes and 47 seconds.

His fellow team-mates Tony Kiprop (35:27) and Kurt Behn-sen (35:43) placed first and second, respec-tively.

The race was the second in the Cana-dian Tire Road Racing Series.

Head coach Carmin

Mazzotta said to date the team’s focus has been on more track work and speed rather than longer efforts on the road.

“This was just about getting a longer effort in and supporting local road races,” he said.

“Our men in particu-lar ran well. We are starting to see a core competitive group of runners emerging on the men’s side, which we haven’t seen be-fore.

“If we can keep ev-eryone healthy, this will bode well come cross country season this fall.”
