Adult literacy gets boost

The B.C. government announced Nov. 26 that adult learners around the region will get help to improve their literacy and numeracy skills, and advance their education and career goals due to funding for the Community Adult Literacy Program (CALP).

The government is providing $2.4 million to support 68 community-based adult literacy projects in 2012-2013, benefitting close to 6,400 British Columbians.

Projects funded under CALP provide instruction and support to adult learners in everything from basic literacy to high school completion.

Most projects offer one-on-one tutoring by trained volun-teers, small group classes and other types of learning tailored to adults, aboriginal learners, young parents and others in the commu-nity in need of support.

Fire rips through lakecity transfer station

A fire broke out Monday morn-ing (Nov. 26) at the transfer station in Williams Lake at around 8:45 a.m. The fire, which has now been extinguished, caused approximate-ly $50,000 worth of damage to the structure the Cariboo Regional Dis-trict confirmed.

The fire began when CRD con-tractor, Peterson Contracting Ltd., started up the 966C rubber tired front-end loader in the transfer sta-

tion building it unfortunately ig-nited.

The operator tried unsuccessfully to extinguish the flames, and subse-quently called 9-1-1 to dispatch the Williams Lake Fire Department.

Peterson Contracting Ltd.’s comptroller Ryan Bailey said the loader was around 20 to 25 years old. While the fire was still active, there was the odd “boom” sound coming from the building.

Bailey, who did not witness the fire, said the sound was most likely tires catching on fire.

Fire chief Randy Isfeld said fire crews fought the fire from the out-side before going inside. Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department sent two water tenders to assist.

“There are components that could blow off that machine, which is why we try to have a go at the fire from a distance first and then move up on it once we’ve got it cooled down.”

By 9:40 a.m. the fire was locked down, and an examination of the facility by the fire department show it was safe to re-open it.

Resounding yes vote in fire referendum The final results show with

a vote of 978 in favour and 30 against, Cariboo Regional Dis-trict residents living in the fringe fire protection area have chosen to continue receiving fire protec-tion from the city of Williams

Lake Fire Department. Polls closed at 8 p.m. Saturday

Nov. 24). Chief administrative officer Ja-

nis Bell said the CRD is pleased with the turnout for the referen-dum.

The advance polls saw 16 mail in votes, 258 votes on Nov. 14, 255 votes on Nov. 19 and on gen-

eral election day 479 votes, for a grand total of 1008 eligible vot-ers.

“This is one of the best turn-outs we have had for any CRD referendum in my experience with the organization. This posi-tive turnout shows that people understood what was being asked of them, and they obviously felt

it was important to exercise their right to vote and have their say,” Bell said.

The CRD will now be moving forward to finalize details under a new agreement with the City of Williams Lake based on the out-come of this referendum and the message received from affected residents.


It’s been a big week for Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. She turned 70 on Nov. 17 and on Nov. 21 was acclaimed the BC Lib-eral candidate for the next provincial election in May.

At the nomination meeting held at the Pio-neer Complex Nov. 21, Barnett said she believes the Liberals have accom-plished “a lot” in the rid-ing.

“There’s been lots of money put into roads, we got Deni House open, we’re working diligently to keep our schools open, even though populations are decreasing. Many good things have hap-pened. We’ve got great working relationships with people, organiza-tions, local governments of all levels.”

Noting the forest in-dustry has downsized because of the mountain

pine beetle epidemic, Barnett said she is look-ing to work together with others in the region to see Taseko’s New Pros-perity Mine Project go ahead.

“I support New Pros-perity, my government supports Prosperity, and we’re looking forward

to see it come to fruition in this region. I’ve also had lots of success help-ing the agriculture com-munity, another industry that in my opinion needs more help and innova-tion. I’m prepared to work as hard as I have in the last four years for the next four years.”

Responding to NDP candidate Charlie Wyse’s most recent criticism of the Liberals’ “mismanagement of the forest industry” Barnett said Wyse does not re-member the pine beetle.

“It came in the late 90s. You weren’t al-lowed to go into parks

when his government was in place. We must also remember what happened in the Chilco-tin back in the late 90s when the NDP cancelled the forest licenses of the West Chilcotin Carrier Mill and it cost taxpay-ers of B.C. over $100 million in compensation, and look at what it did to the Chilcotin, so please Charlie, don’t try and tell me that you know about economics.”

Critical that the “NDP do not support Prosper-ity,” that leader “Adrian Dix has said it and Char-lie Wyse has said it,” Barnett questioned how jobs will be created in the region if nothing is allowed to happen.

“How can you cre-ate jobs when you take forest licenses away? I’m proud of our record in creating jobs and I will continue to work to help create jobs. I know child poverty is a big is-sue and the best way to

solve child poverty is to put people to work, put food on the table, and shoes on their kids. To me that’s what it’s all about.”

Barnett said as she looks toward the next term she is fortunate to be healthy and energetic.

“I feel very passion-ate about helping our region.”

Cariboo Chilcotin Liberal Riding Associa-

tion president Bill Car-ruthers said no one else came forward to be vet-ted as a candidate.

He recalled that Bar-nett won the election in 2009 by 88 votes over NDP candidate Charlie Wyse.

“People say their vote doesn’t count, but up here it does. This is a swing riding. In 2005, the NDP won by 114 votes,” Carruthers said.

Business owners met with Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett for a small business round-table discussion in Wil-liams Lake Nov. 22. Hosted by the Williams Lake and District Cham-ber of Commerce, the meeting attracted about 20 people who shared ideas on how govern-ment can make it easier for business to do busi-ness.

“We discussed gov-ernment initiatives and programs that would make communities more business friendly and what kinds of red tape

are impeding small busi-ness and causing prob-lems,” Barnett said.

The group advocated for more funding for lo-cal Thompson Rivers University apprentice-ship programs and trade opportunities.

“A lot of time busi-nesses will spend money sending employees away to obtain certification, they’ll come back, and then they’ll leave. Some-how we have to find ways to keep them here. There’s nothing in the labour laws that specifies that.”

Chamber president Jason Ryll described the roundtable as important because it gave local

business the opportunity to speak face to face and candidly with govern-ment.

“It was very produc-tive. We as the cham-ber would like to move forward with the ability to educate our younger work force in develop-

ing some employable skills, not necessarily only trade skills, but give them some usable skills that would prepare them for the work force.”

The meeting was one of several being hosted in November to gather input for the Small Busi-

ness Accord initiative coming out of the Min-ister of State for Small Business Naomi Yama-moto’s office.

“Hopefully direction for government in the next few year will come out of these meetings,” Barnett said.

Union members gath-ered at Herb Gardner Park in Williams Lake at noon Nov. 23 call-ing on Premier Christy Clark to say “no” to temporary foreign workers in B.C. coal mines.

Held strategically across the street from Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett’s con-stituency office, partici-pants held signs, gave speeches, and called out for Barnett to come out-side. Barnett, however, was not in Williams Lake.

“When Christy Clark and Pat Bell went to China on a trade mis-sion and signed all those multi-million dol-lar contracts they forgot to tell British Columbi-ans that they were also allowed to bring in for-eign workers,” said Bob McNair from the United Steelworkers Union Lo-cal 1-425.

“These demonstra-tions are taking place right across Canada.”

His union’s workers are employed at Mt. Polley Mine, he ex-plained.

Mitch Van Dale, also with the Steelworkers union, said it’s not ap-propriate for the provin-cial or federal govern-ment to allow foreign

workers to come into Canada to be subjected to substandard wages and safety conditions.

Also at issue is the fact Canadians are not being hired for some of the jobs, Van Dale said.

“There were a num-ber of Canadian people that applied for the po-sitions and a number of them were turned down. One of the conditions they have for bring-ing them in is that they

have to be able to speak Mandarin. Another is-sue is the $12,000 re-quirement to get on a plane and a bus to come over here plus an addi-tional $400 a month per individual.”

It’s an inappropriate use of workers and a slap in the face to Ca-nadian workers,” Van Dale said.

Steelworker Will Phillips pointed to Jo-hannesburg, SA where

miners are being shot for rights.

“Are we going to start doing that to these Chi-nese when they want to be treated like B.C. workers?

“We’re introducing slavery. We’re bringing people here without the rights,” Phillips said.

Ed Adams, negotiat-ing committee member and executive trustee with the Canadian Auto Worker (C.A.W.) Lo-

cal 3018, employed at Gibraltar Mine for six years, said he wants there to be mining jobs in the future.

Holding his three-year-old son Nolan in his arms, Adams said Canadian workers are not being given a chance to work at Chi-nese owned coal mines.

“I have two sons. By the time they get older are there going to be any jobs for them? I

work at a mine. It gives me great benefits and I am able to raise my family because of it.

“Mining is a great opportunity. Fish Lake [New Prosperity] is a great opportunity if they run it properly. You don’t need to bring for-eign workers in to run these mines. We need to promote Canadian citi-zens,” Adams said.

“If you need to speak Mandarin, not too many electricians, mill-wrights, or heavy duty mechanics are going to meet that requirement.”

Steelworker Dave Lautsch has worked at Tolko’s Soda Creek mill for 25 years.

He echoed his fel-low union members and said it’s unfair to both Canadian workers and foreign workers.

“For this to be con-doned by any govern-ment branch is uncon-ceivable,” Lautsch said.

Cariboo Chilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse said the tempo-rary foreign workers program is one of “ex-ploitation.”

There is no case to be made for a shortage of skilled workers.

“Steelworkers have stated very clearly that the trained workers do exist in B.C. and in Canada.

“It’s a matter of taking advantage of the tempo-

rary foreign worker. If indeed there is a short-age then rather than us-ing a temporary foreign workers program, they should be dealing with an immigration pro-gram in which people are encouraged to come to Canada, have landed status and become a Ca-nadian citizen,” Wyse said.

If there is a short-age, Wyse suggested, it demonstrates a lack of skilled training dol-lars by the Liberal gov-ernment in the last 12 years.

“An Adrian Dix NDP government gives the commitment of enlarg-ing the openings and trainings for skills and technology.

“We’re also com-mitted to renewing the land base so its use is properly done, and committed to skilled jobs,” Wyse said. “All of those things require investment in order for the province to continue developing.”

Brian Battison, Taseko Mines Ltd. vice president of corporate affairs, said Nov. 23 the company presently has 600 active resumes on file from people want-ing to work for the com-pany.

“We would have no need to look outside of the country for work-ers,” he confirmed.

Local unions protest foreign workers program

Taseko’s Gibraltar Mine local takes a strike vote

Members of the Ca-nadian Auto Workers (C.A.W.) Local 3018 have voted 99 per cent in favour of striking at Taseko’s Gibraltar Mine near Williams Lake.

Voting took place by union members on Nov. 21 and 22.

“We’re hoping that it will get some momen-

tum in terms of bargain-ing,” C.A.W. national representative Pete Smith said Friday, Nov. 23. “We’re meeting again with the employer on Dec. 3 and 4.”

While Smith wasn’t willing to pinpoint main issues presently at the bargaining table, he said there are “a lot of out-standing issues pending both in the non-mone-tary and the monetary

components.”There are approxi-

mately 470 C.A.W. members presently em-ployed at the mine. Prior to the expansion of the mill over the last cou-ple of years there were around 250 C.A.W. em-ployees. The number has almost doubled.

At this point, the workers are not in a le-gal position to strike.

They will have to

serve 72-hour notice, but won’t consider that until after the outcomes of the meetings with Taseko in December, Smith said.

Brian Battison, Taseko’s vice president of corporate affairs, said the employer wants to move forward without any labour interrup-tions.

“We’ve invested $700 million to secure Gi-

braltar as a long term producer so that it can survive the ups and downs of the metal mar-kets. When we reopened the mine after keeping it closed for five years after we acquired it, we had 280 total em-ployees,” Battison said. “This year alone we invested $325 million. Gibraltar was one of the highest cost pro-ducers in the world. It’s

one of the lowest, if not the lowest grade cop-per mine in the world. It’s hard to operate and make money.”

In order to make the mine an economic suc-cess and secure its fu-ture, the company in-vested and reduced its operating costs, making it a more “economi-cally stable mine” com-pared to other mines in the world, Battison

said. “We’re now in the middle of the pack and we need to continue to move our efforts for-ward, but we need to make sure we’re man-aging the mine within the economic realities we face.”

Battison said total work force at Gibral-tar is 630, and with the expansion the plan is to hire more workers in the future.

Monica Lamb-Yorski photoCanadian Auto Worker Local 3018 negotiating committee member and trustee Ed Adams and his son, Nolan, 3, were among those who attended a rally in Williams Lake Nov. 23 protesting the B.C. government’s temporary foreign workers program.

Northern Develop-ment Initiative Trust says money is being left on the table that com-munities could be us-ing for everything from upgrading community halls to marketing and investment attraction programs.

“When the trust was created, each region decided to set up its ac-count separately,” Janine North, NDIT executive director told the Cariboo Regional District board Nov. 16. “That’s why the Northeast has a com-bined trust account and the other regions have partitioned or segregated accounts, with alloca-tions by communities and regional districts.”

North said NDIT would like to see an ad-ditional $3 million to $7 million go out of the trust for investment in com-munities every year. The combined trust account approach would increase the average annual fund-ing to the region by up to

$1.5 million. “We’re not talking

about taking money away or providing new money, but simply real-locating the trust in each region to maximize the amount of money that communities and rural communities can get.”

Small communi-ties won’t lose out, she explained. Today 75 per cent of the amount of funding that NDIT spends has been invested in communities with less than 5,000 people. Per capita basis, communi-ties such as Wells and

Lytton have received $791 where as the aver-age across the pooled trust areas is about $155.

“Smaller communities have done much better than larger communi-ties and I think you can attribute that to fact that around the table at the regional advisory com-mittee, every community and every regional inter-est has a vote.”

North said NDIT un-derstands there may be a desire from many com-munities to ensure there’s equity if the proposed approach was taken. As a result NDIT would do quarterly reporting of project approvals to date, the projects for com-munities and rural areas since inception, and the sharing of statistics, such as per capita spending.

“We also understand that many smaller com-munities have effectively saved up their alloca-tions to go toward larger projects down the road. We’ve learned that that’s an unintended result of going to those segregated accounts.”

If the accounts had been combined from the beginning then those projects would have been able to go ahead much sooner and there wouldn’t have been that saving involved.

“A new combined trust account would let that happen. Rather than wait for the income stream off the smaller accounts build up over time, every year you would have ac-cess to about a million dollars of funding, based on projects coming in and the merit of the proj-ect. We looked at sur-pluses in the combined accounts,” North said.

NDIT looked at the ac-count for Prince George and saw that every com-munity could have a ma-jor project every year for the next three years and it still wouldn’t take off the surplus that’s been build-ing up.

The board would like to have communities consider two new pro-grams and one enhanced program.

Currently there’s an economic diversifica-

tion infrastructure pro-gram that allows up to a $100,000 grant for major community projects that

diversify the community.

Proposed Kwaleen closure draws angerMore than 100

people gathered at Kwaleen Elementary School on Nov. 20 to discuss the Initial Options Report pro-duced by the Board of Trustees, and the board’s proposal to close Kwaleen Ele-mentary and four other schools at the end of the 2012/2013 school year.

Kwaleen Parent Advisory Council (KPAC) president, Katie Dyck, and Rus-set Bluff Community Association (RBCA) representative, Kirk Dressler made a pre-sentation that ad-dressed: the reasons reported by the school district as justifica-tion for the closing of Kwaleen Elementary; the quality of educa-tion offered at Kwa-leen School; the prob-able impacts of closing Kwaleen School on the city and the region; and the deficiencies in the Initial Options Report public engage-ment exercise.

Parents and resi-dents expressed shock and anger that one of the district’s top per-forming schools was being selected for clo-sure, and many ques-tioned why other al-ternatives or options had not been presented by the school district, KPAC and RBCA said

in a joint press release.“The school district

mentioned that they had developed five or six other options, and yet they are choosing not to disclose these options to the public,” said KPAC president, Katie Dyck. “We’re entitled to know what the other options are

and to provide input on those options. This is a public body making decisions about public resources that have a profound impact on our children and our community. The pro-cess must be fair, open, transparent and mean-ingful. It has not been that thus far.”

The board of trust-ees acknowledged they would discuss the pos-sibility of extending the engagement period at the duly convened board meeting of Nov. 27.

“I’m pleased to hear that the board will be giving consideration to the extension of the engagement period,” Dressler said.

“It is also my under-standing that the board will be discussing the issuance of another re-port.

“The description of the first report as the ‘Initial Options Re-port’ clearly tends to suggest that there will, or should be, another report setting out ad-vanced or refined op-tions.

“There has been ex-tensive public input so far, so let’s roll out in a report what that input has been and go from there.”

NDIT proposes more programs

It’s being proposed that the $100,000 be in-creased to $250,000 for each major project.

“Right now the trust could provide $1 for every $2.50 that’s been from other sources. In essence that’s 28 per cent of the project. The board and the community, and other sources, provide around 72 per cent.”

A second program would focus on encour-

aging downtown revital-ization — $20,000 going to communities and the regional district, regard-less of the size of the community. Chambers or Business Improve-ment Areas could partner with the business com-munity on signage or a theme, North suggested.

“It’s to encourage businesses to work with design guidelines and enhance the downtown area.”

Communities could determine the funding

ratios for how much a business would contrib-ute to the project. The to-tal investment would be about $1 million a year across the 40 communi-ties NDIT works with.

A third proposed pro-gram would help with succession planning for local government. “There are many com-munities, especially small communities, that don’t have that second layer of managers or natural succession into chief administrative of-

ficer positions. The pro-gram would reinvigorate a previous program that brings young university graduates into communi-ties to do a year intern-ship, funded by the trust account.

“It’s not only about filling vacancies, it’s also about building capacity,” North said.

North has been meet-ing with local govern-ments across the region and will meet with the regional advisory council on Dec. 4.

Photo submittedSchool District 27 Superintendent Mark Thiessen prepares a slide show on information contained in the Initial Options Report.

Last week was Restorative Justice Week in B.C., which celebrates the important

work being done by groups dedicated to restorative justice. I would like to take a moment to talk about this important issue and thank the community volunteers who make these programs so successful, helping so many in our communities.The idea behind restorative justice is to repair the harm that has been done to those who have been victims of

c r i m e a n d violence. It holds t h o s e w h o h a v e

perpetrated these crimes accountable and is based on a process that takes into consideration the individual needs of victims.

The theme of this year’s Restorative Justice Week was “Diverse Needs; Unique Responses,” and I think this really goes straight to the heart of what restorative justice is all about. Every crime is different and impacts different people in different ways; by looking at the specific circumstances of individual cases and the impacts that they have had on the victims, restorative justice tries to achieve fair outcomes which leave both victims and offenders better off than they would be under a traditional approach to justice.

Offenders who participate in a restorative justice process have much better outcomes than those who do not. Having participated in a process that allows them to realize the consequences of their actions, and to help repair the harm they have caused, they begin to take responsibility for their own decisions and so are less likely to fall back into crime.

Here in B.C., we are fortunate to have volunteers who make these programs possible, such as the Williams Lake Community Council for Restorative Justice. Across the province, in communities both large and small, they take on about 1,400 cases and spend more than 90,000 hours a year helping both victims and offenders reach better outcomes.

To those of you working or volunteering to make restorative justice programs so successful, I would like to thank you for your hard work and dedication; you are truly making a difference in peoples’ lives.

Our Viewpoint

MLAMusingsDonna Barnett

Manage resources thoughtfully

Diverse needs, unique responses

Forests are a renewable resource. Right? The trouble is, it takes many

years to grow a tree, and many trees to make a forest.

At the moment, nobody knows how many trees we have, never mind how well they are growing. Wouldn’t it be sensible for the provincial government to take an inventory before it opens new logging areas?

Another issue is the impact of c l imate c h a n g e on our f o r e s t s a n d o t h e r n a t u r a l resourc-

es. Potable water is a renewable resource, and B.C. has been blessed with plenty of it, but now there are concerns. The latest science on cli-mate change is even less optimistic than the much maligned IPCC’s 2007 Fourth Assessment report. The World Bank’s new report Turn Down the Heat: Why a 4C Warm-er World Must be Avoided, warns “we’re on track for extreme heat-waves, declining global food stocks, loss of ecosystems and biodiversity, and life-threatening sea level rise.” U.S. President Obama cites the need to act on climate change “for future generations.” Our Federal Environ-ment Minister Peter Kent says no one has to convince him climate change is a “real and present dan-ger” that needs to be addressed. Lo-cally, the Cariboo Regional District and the city have a recent study of the effect of climate change on the San Jose watershed. Alarm bells are ringing in northwestern B.C. because the fracking process used by the natural gas industry to get the gas is taking so much water from dams, lakes, and streams.

We don’t have fracking yet in the Williams Lake area but we do have major developments either underway (Prosperity Ridge) or in the planning stages (Williams Lake Band, the CRD’s community devel-opment) and the city is always look-ing to “move forward.” Hopefully our local governments are thinking far enough ahead to make sure our water resources will be sufficient for future challenges.

Change neededA study released this month has revealed the cost the

failed war on drugs is having on the British Columbia economy.

A new study by a coalition of researchers from the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University estimates the B.C. cannabis market could provide the government with $2.5 billion in tax and licensing revenues over the next five years.

“If you begin to stand back and calculate just how much potential tax revenue is instead going to fuel organized crime, it really highlights how we need to start questioning our current approach,” said Dr. Evan Wood, senior author of the study.

The study is just the latest blow against those who remain committed to preserve and protect the profit margins of organized crime. The study challenges one of the primary arguments against regulating marijuana: that the market cannot be taxed. Critics had previously pointed to U.S. drug laws as a reason why B.C. shouldn’t move towards decriminalization. But when Colorado and Washington state voters approved the

legalization of marijuana use, that argument went up in smoke.

“When you look at the enormous potential to save on policing costs, raise government revenue and wage economic war on organized crime, you understand why U.S. states have recently taken the taxation and regulation approach,” said former B.C. premier Ujjal Dosanjh.

The list of those calling for changes to marijuana laws has grown to include those from across the political spectrum. The Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution earlier this year calling for the decriminalization of marijuana. Stop the Violence B.C. is a group B.C. law enforcement officials, politicians, legal experts and public health officials advocating changes to the government’s marijuana policies.

It seems the only ones left still supporting the current drug laws are those who make their living in organized crime — and their unwitting allies in the provincial and federal governments.

Dependence on food banks cause for concernEditor:

I appreciate the comments di-rected at me, by Ms. Joyce of 150 Mile. One of the philosophies that I live by is, “Don’t expect others to do for you what you can do for yourself.” I guess as a senior that is an age thing. My parents, my grandparents and my great grand parents each before me struggled through periods of impossible economic times.

My second eldest daughter, liv-ing in Alberta, a single mother of four children, two in high school, an adopted pre-schooler, and an autistic son. She receives dialy-sis treatment for a kidney disease three hours a day, three times a week. When asked why she does not use the food bank, says, “I am sure that there are others in far more need than I am.” With no help from a former husband she works at living within her means.

That is my question, regarding the growing number of people dependent on the food banks, are

they doing all they can to help themselves. I recall a National Geographic magazine article about Medellin Columbia, the ar-ticle discussed how the poor peo-ple in tightly packed neighbour-hoods of shacks helped provide for their families needs, without gardens, by growing food in pots wherever they could find room to put a pot.

Ms. Joyce compares me to a mean old bear; I recall a very sad case of a very hungry mom-ma bear. Momma bear had been raised for generations on gar-bage, the garbage dump had been closed and moved several kilo-meters away, momma bear with two tiny cubs had no food, had not learned to survive on plant life or even how to fish.

I stopped my service truck be-side her, I observed that the poor animal was giving her body to provide for her cubs; she was just a bag of bones. How different is that, where the less needy go to the food banks while those in dire

need say, “I’ll get by, there may be others more in need than I.”

The growing dependence on food banks is comparable to the people of Greece that have be-

come so dependent on an entitle-ment society, that like the starv-ing momma bear, just don’t know how to survive.

Living within our means,

means that those that truly are in need, can get the help that they need.

The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour winds its way to Williams Lake Tuesday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. in the Gibraltar Room.

The Banff Mountain Film Festival, a program of The Banff Centre, is the largest, and one of the most prestigious, mountain festivals in the world. Hot on the heels of the festival held every fall in Banff, Alberta, the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour hits the road. With stops planned in about 390 communities and 35 countries across the globe, this year’s tour features a collection of the most inspiring action, environmental, and adventure films from the festival.

Travelling to exotic landscapes and remote cultures, and bringing audiences up-close and personal with adrenaline-packed action sports, the 2011/2012 World Tour is an exhilarating and provoca-tive exploration of the mountain world. From approximately 300 films entered into the annual festi-val, award-winning films and audi-ence favorites are among the films chosen to travel the globe.

Join the City of Williams Lake when the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour brings the spirit of outdoor adventure to Williams Lake.

The City of Williams Lake will feature films such as:

Crossing the Ice — Australian adventurers, James Castrission and Justin Jones, dare to tackle the perilous journey across Antarctica to the South Pole and back again, completely unassisted — just two men dragging their food and shelter across 1,140 kilometres of barren ice.

Thin Ice — Slide away with simple pleasures: skating and bathing.

5 Races — a look into the world of mountain running, depicting the joy, pain, transformation, and inspiration found in races around the world.

For tickets and information contact the Cariboo Memorial Complex at 250-398-7665 or Red Shreds at 250-398-7873.

For more details about the Banff Mountain Film Festival and general information about the World Tour

Friday, nov. 30Stampeders host Kangaroos

The last time the Williams Lake Stampeders and the Quesnel Kangaroos faced off it was quite the spirited affair, to say the least. Williams Lake walked away 7-4 winners but the Kangaroos will likely have payback on their minds. Game time is 7:30 p.m. at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Currently the Stampeders sit at 6-3-1 in a first-place East Division tie with the Lac La Hache Tomahawks.

Friday, nov. 30 and Saturday, dec. 1Panago Columneetza Classic

The Columneetza Cougars junior girls basketball team is hosting a five-team tournament in Williams Lake this weekend.Teams attending the tournament include: Williams Lake Secondary School, Nechako Valley secondary grade 9s, Nechako Valley Secondary School and Quesnel Junior Secondary School.The action kicks off Friday at 1:30 p.m. with Columneetza taking on Nechako Valley grade 9s. WLSS is in action at 3 p.m. versus Nechacko Valley Junior.There will be a $2 pizza lunch fundraiser Saturday at noon, followed by a skills competition.

Friday, dec. 7 to Sunday, dec. 9Cariboots ‘N Blades

The WIlliams Lake Skating Club hosts its annual Cariboots ‘N Blades figure skating competition at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. It’s a chance for local skaters to show their stuff in front of a hometown crowd.Skating clubs from around the province will be travelling to Williams Lake for the event.Anyone interested in volunteering at the event can contact Margie Henley at [email protected] to sign up.

This is the first part in a three-part series that examines the Cariboo’s involvement with the recently released moun-tain bike film Where The Trail Ends. Three indi-viduals from the region were involved with the film which is a reflec-tion of how significant mountain biking is be-coming in this area.

John Wellburn, who is a frequent contributor to www.ridetheacariboo.ca website and the consor-tium’s work in general was one of the produc-ers for Where The Trail Ends. We caught up with John from his home in Mendoza, Argentina to talk about his role in the film.

Consortium: Tell us about how you got in-volved with Freeride Entertainment and the Where The Trail Ends Project?

Wellburn: I got a call from Jeremy Grant, the director of the film in 2009 after meeting him through Mike Kinrade. Mike and Jeremy want-ed to do a trip and had there eyes on Argentina. They needed a photogra-pher and someone to set stuff up on the ground etc. The plan was to shoot a short piece for the Banff Film Festival, a film that would come to be called the Argen-tine Project. After a few phone calls, we arranged the trip. It was on that trip that we discovered the potential of the Sal-ta area. In a matter of speaking, the Where The Trail Ends project was born after that trip.

Consortium: You are one of the producers of

the film. Tell us about that role and the kinds of things you were re-sponsible for?

Wellburn: Generally, I was the man on the ground. There is a huge amount of logistics that go into these films. From translation, accommo-dations, transportation, location management and all the little details that make the film work is the responsibility of the producer. Once the film was born, I worked with Derek Westerland from Freeride to coor-dinate and fine tune the details of the Fraser and Argentina segments. We hatched over details and logistics before trips on the phone before and throughout the trips.

Consortium: You are based in Argentina for half of the year. You own the Alltimeri-des touring company, have a house there and speak the language, so obviously you had a huge role in managing the Salta location. Tell us about that part of the film?

Wellburn: I was fa-miliar with Salta from the 2009 project with Kinrade, so I had a good idea of what it would take for Where The Trail

Ends to pull off this seg-ment. One of the things that had changed from the 2009 shoot was that part of the area had be-come a park when we returned.

So after a few days of filming, the Argentine Park Rangers showed up to find out what we were doing. I spent two days on the phone with Gov-ernment officials work-ing with them to coor-dinate the film. In the end it worked out fine and they were satisfied that we were not damag-ing the environment, but that gives you some idea of what my role was on the ground. [John is then interrupted by a phone call with some dude in Spanish about a prop-erty he is selling — ob-viously the man on the ground].

Consortium: You were also involved with the Gobi Desert segment, tell us about those two trips?

Wellburn: This was a bit simpler, I was there as a photographer so my role was clear and is re-flected in the book that has been released with the film as well as the articles, etc. The cool thing about the Gobi trip is that I also supported

the director to a certain extent and got to provide some input into how the segments were going to be pulled together. It was a change to have the Chinese guides take over all the logistics!

Consortium: That segment of Berrecloth welding up the rack in China, was that real?

Wellburn: Darren Berrecloth is a pretty hard core dude. That segment was totally real. You should have seen the equipment we had, or didn’t in this case. At first he didn’t even have a mask and was throw-ing this thing together. So yes, real deal and a real rider.

Consortium: Obvi-ously we are all stoked on the Fraser River segment of the film, tell us about that?

Wellburn: This was a cool part of the film being on home turf. I was there supporting Doug Green of Cari-boo Chilcotin Jet Boat Adventures as a camp manager of sorts. This segment has a bit more ‘backcountry’ than the balance of the film, so there was a lot more to do in terms of support-

ing the riders and film crew. Most nights I slept with the food to keep the bears out of it!

Consortium: We are all super stoked about the screening on the 29th and the general feeling is that this type of mountain bike film is unmatched. Tell us where you think Fre-eride is going with this idea? Will there be more?

Wellburn: You’ll have to ask Freeride about that, but I’ll tell you my perspective. We’ve just scratched the surface. There are some many more zones out there to explore, we just need to go deeper. I think we can push this type of riding into the backcountry and film trips that are fully self-supported. We’ve been doing this type of epic trip in the Cariboo for over a decade, and I think the world would love to see it on the big screen.

Part two of this series, an interview with James Doerfling, is online at www.ridethecariboo.ca. The film screens on Nov. 29 at the Paradise Theatre in Williams Lake.

The Central B.C. Aboriginal Youth Hockey and Sports Association is putting out a call for logo submissions for its sixth annual hockey tournament.

Every year hundreds of Aboriginal youth from B.C. and Alberta gather in Williams Lake for the Central B.C. Aboriginal Youth Hockey Tournament ( C B C A Y H T ) . Annual tournament sweatshirts feature a logo prominently displayed created by one of the tournament’s participants.

Sheila Kelalst-Booth, president of the CBCAYHT, said there are some criteria that must be incorporated into logo designs.

“The logo must include the following: Sixth Annual Central BC Aboriginal Youth Hockey Tournament written exactly; an eagle, raven and bear (represents Carrier, Chilcotin and Shuswap); either colour or black and white; use no copyright media; and entrants must be between ages

of five and 21,” she said.

The first-place winner will receive a jacket with the creator’s logo design and $150 cash. Second-place runner-up gets a hoodie and third place gets a ball cap.

Deadline for submissions is Dec. 19 at 6 p.m.

Contact information

including first name, last name, school, age and phone number must be included on the back of the page.

Logos can be delivered to Kelalst-Booth at 1019 Schmidt Rd. in Williams Lake.

Contest underway for youth tourney

Tribune file photoPlanning for the Central Interior B.C. Aboriginal Youth Hockey Tournament is underway, and organizers are asking for submissions for the tournament’s annual logo contest. The tournament will be held in March.

November! Yes that meant for most of us to quickly get our win-ter tires put on before the snow tru-ly flies but for the Williams Lake Stampede Royalty that meant yet another wonderful and grand ad-venture. This time to the Canadian Finals Rodeo!

I, Alexis Forseille, was fortunate enough to be taken to Edmonton on Nov. 8 to join Princess Ter-ris Billyboy, and our chaperones Brigette Peel and Jamie Tannis for an action-packed weekend at the CFR. Upon my arrival in the snow-covered city we quickly made our way to Rexall Center to take in the Thursday night rodeo which was the second performance out of six taking place over the weekend.

Luckily for us, Terris and Brigette had already been in Ed-monton for a week and knew the ins and outs of getting to and from Rexall Center by the LRT transit.

When we reached Rexall Center I was absolutely blown away with it all. From the opening act of the night, Chris Young, to the very end of the bull riding and everything in between, it felt like an incredible dream to be watching the finals in person.

Thursday night was the evening of the season leader saddle presen-tations which we happily enjoyed watching after the rodeo. I remem-ber thinking that if Thursday was any indication of how the weekend was going to play out we were in for one wonderful treat!

Friday started out with an early morning preparing ourselves for a busy day helping out at the Red Carpet Rodeo Fashion Show. The fashion show is an annual fund-raiser hosted by the Ladies of the Canadian Rodeo Association. All proceeds go towards the CPRA Cowboy benefit fund and the Ca-nadian Pro Rodeo Sport Medicine Team. The luncheon was simply extraordinary to attend. Terris and I helped sell tickets for the Gold Buckle Table where if your name was drawn you won an eight per-son formal table setting and the ta-ble you were sitting at was moved to a table beside the runway with additional prizes to be won.

After our selling duties were done we enjoyed a lovely catered lunch and a great fashion show. The rest of the day at the event consisted of us helping to sell boas for the ladies to be entered into more prizes and Brigette making it all the way up on to the stage with the heads and tails hat game. We met several of the co-ordinators for the event and many of the Miss Rodeo Canada co-ordinators as well. It was a great experience and

I would without doubt like to at-tend the function again!

When we had completed our du-ties at the fashion show, we quickly changed and headed to West Ed-monton Mall to build ourselves each a Build-A-Bear. Mine ended up being called Queenie, while Terris’ was called Princess.

The staff really enjoyed having us build our bears and they were wonderful helpers during the pro-cess. When our bears were com-plete we had to quickly head over to Rexall Center for the Friday night rodeo action!

During the rodeo the 2013 Miss Rodeo Canada competitors were introduced with a presentation ride of each girl. The rest of the rodeo was just as wonderful to experi-ence as the night before with many arena records being tied right be-fore our eyes! When the rodeo was over we decided before heading home to watch some live music and fortunate for us, it was Gord Banford! Our busy Friday had been perfect.

Saturday at the CFR has a one o’clock and a seven o’clock rodeo. At the first rodeo we watched Jil-lian Shields be crowned as the 2013 Miss Rodeo Canada! After watch-ing the crown be passed over, Ter-ris, Brigette, Jamie and I, quickly hurried to the reception where Ter-ris and I welcomed guests at the door while taking ticket money and

hanging coats. We also met up with Sharon

MacDonald and Kirsten Brau-mandl to watch the beautiful re-ception and the ladies who ran for Miss Rodeo Canada receive their awards. With the completion of the reception we decided to go to the Farm Fair, which has many trade booths to go through and a special area for kids.

To sum it up, the Farm Fair is one big shopping spree! We toured through it and managed not to break the bank accounts before heading off to the second rodeo of the day. The Canadian Cowboy of the Year was awarded to Scott Schiffner who rightfully deserved every piece of it. You could tell the pressure was beginning to get to the cowboys and cowgirls during the second to last rodeo. However, even with the amounting pressure the rodeo was still just as amazing to watch!

Sunday Nov. 11, we woke up bright and early to bundle up as much as we possibly could, before walking over to the Edmonton City Hall for their Remembrance Day ceremonies. We participated in the very cold ceremony by laying wreathes on the cenotaph. Terris laid the wreathe for the Williams Lake Stampede Association and I laid the wreathe for the City of Williams Lake. The ceremony was very well done with many digni-

taries and many city representa-tives laying wreathes while a large crowd watched the proceedings.

After warming up we took the LRT to Rexall Center to watch the last rodeo of the 2012 Cana-dian Rodeo Finals. The place was packed with rodeo fans and the energy was at an all-time high. Some of the most amazing rides and some of the greatest runs of the weekend unfolded before us as many cowboys laid all they had on the line to win their respective titles. Immediately after the ro-deo the champions were rewarded their buckles and saddles in the arena. We watched the awards be-ing given to some very deserving cowboys and cowgirls then headed over to the Farm Fair for one last browse through.

I would like to thank Willie Cro-sina for inviting us to attend his CFR tour dinner at the spaghetti factory and the reception after-wards. It was a great way to con-nect with everyone that travelled with Willie to the CFR from Wil-liams Lake and surrounding areas. The dinner seemed to top off a wonderful week!

From my experiences this year, I am already looking forward to the next time I attend the CFR!

I would like to thank everyone who helped make our experience at the 2012 Canadian Finals Rodeo extraordinary!

Award-winning Tex-as folk/country singer, Carrie Elkin, is set to entertain an intimate gathering of music lov-ers on Friday, Nov. 30, at Juniper Trails Bed and Breakfast (www.junipertrails.ca) in Wil-liams Lake.

With her Red House Records debut release, Call It My Garden, Car-rie Elkin (www.carrieel-kin.com) has emerged as one of the defining new voices in the world of Texas singer/song-writers, being celebrat-ed by Penguin Eggs as their Criticsʼ Favourite Discovery of 2011.

Penguin Eggs isn’t the only Canadian in-stitution to recently dis-

cover this wispy Texan, as 2011 has seen her ex-plode from the ranks of the unknowns to being a headline artist in major

festivals all across Can-ada, says her biography.

She’s an artist full of contrast and contradic-tion, with a voice that’s somehow both gritty and pristine.

The Austin Chronicle calls it “an earthy com-bination of strength and compassion . . .” The contrast is reflected in her writing, as well, which is at once dev-astatingly intimate and embracingly universal.

It’s this ability to make a greater connec-tion from the minutia of life that makes Elkin’s songwriting so compel-ling.

The voice, the stories, the images, the grace and infectious enthu-

siasm - it’s a complete package. But it’s the power of her live per-formances that really have been creating an incredible buzz around this young artist.

Maverick Magazine said: “I have never seen a performer so in love with the act of singing.

That’s the gospel truth, and from what I’ve sub-sequently learned, I’m not the only one to be-lieve or state that.”

CD RELEASEElks donate apples to food bank

The Elks in Williams Lake recently partici-pated in their eighth an-nual apple drive.

The Williams Lake food bank was among eight communities in B.C. to receive apples.

“Our Elks Lodge re-ceived 5,000 pounds of apples which we gave to the local Salvation Army who will dis-tribute them with the Christmas hampers,” says lakecity Elk Arnie Zimmerman.

The Elks of B.C. part-ner with orchardists in Osoyoos on the apple project which actually includes pears as well.

This year 14,000 pounds of apples and pears were donated by three grower fami-

lies, Ken and Mellhina Thibalt of Cassa Del Mell, Joe and Vera Hi-lario of Lighthouse Orchards, and Joe and Louisa Carvahlo of Car-vahlo Orchards, says project spokesperson Ken Thibault.

The Elks of Osoyoos transported the fruit to Prince George where it was disbursed to eight community food banks by the Elks in Vander-hoof, Fort St. James, Burns Lake, Macken-zie, McBride, Quesnel, Prince George and of course Williams Lake.

Over the past eight years this event has sup-plied more than 56,000 pounds of freshly picked apples and pears at no cost to recipients.

They call themselves The Perfect Match, and hearing their perfect harmonies at commu-nity events around the community most would agree.

LeRae Haynes and Cindy Nadeau both come from different parts of “out west” but share a common love for writing, singing and performing music.

Haynes moved to the lakecity from Bella Coola 10 years ago.

A longtime Chilcotin resident Nadeau moved to Williams Lake five years ago from Kleena Kleene.

“We connected in Williams Lake when Cindy’s daughter, Dan-ielle, joined my kids’ singing group Bor-derline, and the two of us started playing music together about three years ago, “ says Haynes who is also a freelance journalist, and co-ordinator for the Success by 6 program.

The duo has played for dances at the Le-gion, for the Stampede Street Party, at Canada Day, Performances in the Park, the Harvest Fair, Cowboy Christ-mas, the Lions Club 400, Relay for Life, Robbie Burns, the Celtic Ceilidh, Re-membrance Day and a wide range of fundrais-ing events.

“We play country, rock, pop, celtic, 1940s tunes,” Haynes says. “We play music that makes people want to dance and sing along.”

Haynes says they joke that between the two of them they have about 150 years singing experience. Cindy got her start playing old-time favourites on pub stages as a young teen in Vancouver and Le-Rae came from a gos-pel music background, singing on stage for the first time with her dad when she was three years old. They each played with a range of bands over the years.

Nadeau toured and recorded with the Cy-cles, including a stage stint in Scandinavia.

Haynes directed a kids’ music group, Bor-derline, for more than

20 years.Playing and sing-

ing together as Perfect Match, Nadeau is the lead singer and plays guitar while Haynes plays keyboards and sings harmony.

“We were dubbed ‘Perfect Match’ almost immediately because of our close vocal blend and how much fun we have on stage,” Haynes says. “We of-ten play with Mark Lees on bass guitar and vocal harmonies, and have also played as a five-piece band with Randy Pokeda on steel and lead guitar and Jim Holloway on drums.

Now the duo has teamed up with their musical friends to cre-ate a CD called Stop on the Bridge.

“Our debut CD in-cludes Randy and Mark, with Danielle Schultz on cowbell and spoons, John Sykes on tuba, Glenn Rob-son on trumpet and Geoff Patenaude on banjo, featured on indi-vidual tunes,” Haynes says. “The original songs that Cindy and I brought to this proj-ect are Wake Me in the Morning, Frog, Cari-boo Pant Leg Polka, Galahad, She Doesn’t Know, Plastic Pink Corvette and Stop on the Bridge.”

Haynes and Nadeau got together a couple of times this fall at Nadeau’s cabin in the Chilcotin wilderness for songwriting re-treats.

“They were really just an excuse to go off-grid for a couple of days: canoeing, quad-ding, hiking, log chink-ing and woodpecker roof proofing,” Haynes says. “I loved it. And that’s where we pol-ished off Stop on the Bridge and wrote She Doesn’t Know.”

The Perfect Match and friends will launch their CD this Friday at a special dinner, slide show, silent auc-tion and dance and auction taking place at Thompson Rivers University this Friday, Nov. 30 to raise funds for longtime Chilcotin residents who are now volunteering in Peru.

“DESEA Peru is a project put into place

by Chilcotin residents Sandy Hart and Sandra McGirr,” Haynes says. “Sandra went to Peru as a volunteer regis-tered nurse and worked to develop a rural nurs-ing program. Sandy, with a background in hydrology and geology, went to help engineer and install household water filter systems.”

Along with their two children, Niall and Tarn, Sandy and San-dra have spent the past four-and-a-half years in Peru.

Haynes says that Sandra, who is coming home for the fundrais-er, tells her that almost everyone in Peru lives in poverty.

The average family has six to eight children and lives on an average of $2 a day. The area has the second-highest rate of mother and in-fant mortality in South America caused by bacteria and parasites in the water, and people also suffer from severe malnutrition.

There are no phones or transportation; there is minimal health care, no running water, very little electricity, no bathrooms, and before DESEA Peru, there was no potable drink-ing water.

Nadeau says the DE-SEA project hits close to home for her.

“We take basic things like water, food and health for granted, and for a family to uproot

and immerse them-selves in making a dif-ference like this takes dedication and self-less determination,” Nadeau says.

“It shows true Cari-boo Chilcotin grit and ingenuity. Putting on this event to coincide with our CD release made perfect sense to me.”

Dance for DESEA will feature a buffet meal, a great silent auc-tion, a presentation by Sandra McGirr about their work in the An-des, live music by Per-fect Match and friends, plus entertainment by local dancers.

Tickets and more in-formation are available at Hobbit House and Dandelion Living.

According to their web site DESEA Perú is a registered Peruvian association based in the village of Lamay in the Sacred Valley of the Incas near Cusco. In in-digenous communities in the adjacent moun-tains, DESEA Perú has undertaken a com-prehensive program of household water treat-ment and community healthcare.

The community health program in-volves operation of bi-weekly clinics in each community by a Canadian expanded-practice nurse and a Peruvian community nurse; engagement of two trained community health workers in each

community to assist with family education and community health needs; and on-going education for families, community groups, and schools in water filter operation, hygiene and sanitation practices, nutrition, and commu-nity health.

Workshops for con-struction of bio-sand water filters are oper-ated by trained local residents with the vol-unteer assistance of community members who are to receive fil-ters. In this way, small-scale enterprises are es-tablished and families and schools contrib-ute to their own water treatment systems.

Tickets to the fund-raiser Friday evening are $20 for adults and $10 for children and students. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the slide-show presentation is at 6 p.m.
