Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer An investigation into what caused a chlorine incident that sent 70 people at the Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool to hospital Sunday is underway, the city said Monday. “A number of city personnel, as well as an independent health and safety consultant are currently at the Complex conducting the investigation,” the city said. “The pool and the fitness centre will remain closed until the investigation is complete. The ice rinks remain open to the public. The Gibraltar Room will re-open Tuesday.” See SEVENTY Page A2

A raging fire engulfs one of the Williams Inn buildings on Sixth Avenue Friday night. Accommodation has been found for the 40plus victims, but that is only temporary. While no person was killed in the fire, some pets are not accounted for.

Fire leaves 40 without a home More than 40 people, including children, have lost their home after a fire destroyed a building at the Williams Inn Friday night. Just before 10 p.m., the Williams Lake Fire Department received a report of a fire at one of the buildings at the Williams Inn, formerly known as the Howard Johnson Hotel, directly across from Safeway on Fifth Avenue. The building housed many low-income patrons and is separate from the hotel area of the

business. Firefighters were initially able to start a search of the third floor of the structure, but intense fire conditions forced them out. Thirty-one firefighters from the Williams Lake department, as well as personnel and apparatus from the 150 Mile House and Wildwood fire departments fought the fire, which destroyed the building. The main hotel and other buildings were not affected. No building tenants or firefight-

ers were injured in the fire. However, there are reports of missing and deceased pets. Firefighters were on scene for more than six hours fighting the fire. Emergency Social Services personnel relocated affected tenants to another building of the hotel. However, some have found accommodation elsewhere. The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time, but does not appear suspicious. “Our thanks to the RCMP, who

did an incredible job in accounting for each tenant, Emergency Social Services, who were instrumental in taking care of tenants, and to the Wildwood and 150 Mile House fire departments, who assisted for the duration of the fire,” says Fire Chief Randy Isfeld. The hotel has not been licensed as a Howard Johnson facility since Jan. 31. For information on how to help out the victims, see page A3.

NEWS Seventy treated at hospital Continued From Page A1 The city also said it will not speculate as to the cause of the incident, preferring instead to wait for the outcome of the investigation. “The city will notify residents when the investigation is complete and when the closed areas of the complex will re-open to the public,” the city said. Of the 70 patients treated at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital about 45 were children. Interior Health said Monday there was still one child being treated at the hospital. The incident took place at about 8:20 a.m. Sunday morning. The Williams Lake Blue Fins Swim Club, along with swimmers from Prince George and Quesnel, had just begun warming up in the pool for a swim meet. Blue Fins swimmer Abbi Taylor told the Tri-

bune there were close to 60 kids in the pool by the time people noticed something was wrong. “We were 20 minutes into warmup and straight chlorine was being pumped into the pool,” Taylor said. “It was coming out into the deck area, the smell. There were a lot of little kids in the pool, 12 and unders. I’d say 50, 60 little kids were in the pool.” By 9 a.m. Sunday emergency personnel had treated several swimmers for exposure to the chemical. Most were sent to the hospital to be checked out. “There are a lot of kids that were affected,” Taylor said. “Tons. Almost everybody in the pool. Coughing, breathing tanks. A lot of kids had to go to the hospital from Quesnel and Prince George, too.” The Williams Lake RCMP, the B.C. Ambulance Service, and the Williams Lake Fire Department Hazmat team

Bomb threat Thursday Erin Hitchcock Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake RCMP were called to 7-Eleven on Proctor Street at about 7 p.m. Thursday after receiving reports of a bomb threat. Although no bomb or similar device was observed, police took the precaution of evacuating the 7-Eleven and neighbouring premises. The Williams Lake Fire Department also assisted at the scene. After a thorough search of the building and the immediate area with the assistance of a police dog, the incident was determined to be a hoax. The RCMP are continuing their investigation in efforts to identify the culprit who initiated the threat. The RCMP say they

take such threats as extremely serious and intend to criminally charge those who are involved, whether the reports are false or otherwise. “This is a very poor and unfortunate use of emergency resources as well as the inconvenience it causes to businesses and the community as a whole,” police say. Chris Grant, staff member of Movies on the Go, was working the night the threat was made. “A member walked in the door and said everybody was going to have to leave and I said OK, and she said there had been a bomb threat at 7-Eleven, and that we are just too close in our store for comfort for them,” Grant said.

all attended the scene. “I’ve heard how emergency personnel have gone above and beyond during this incident, from RCMP bringing in extra resources, doctors,

coming in to the hospital on Sunday, and nurses taking on extra duties,” said Mayor Kerry Cook in a news release. “Williams Lake, as always, is coming together to sup-

port those in need. Our number one concern is the health and safety of everyone.”

NEWS Teachers prepare for strike vote tomorrow Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Teachers in Williams Lake joined teachers across the province Monday in demonstrations to back their demands for a fair contract — one that isn’t government imposed. Teachers gathered with placards and ribbons outside of Marie Sharpe Elementary School Monday for a half hour before school started and a half hour after school ended. Teachers in School District 27 will also join teachers throughout the province this Wednesday in taking a strike vote, says Cariboo Chilcotin Teachers Association president Joan Erb. She says polling stations will be set up in

Williams Lake and 100 Mile House and voting will take place between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. “We believe that a strong yes vote will put more pressure on B.C. Public Service Employers Association resulting in what we hope will be fruitful mediation.” Erb says, adding results of the provincial vote will be made public March 1. The B.C. Teachers Federation and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association have been in contract talks since April 2011 with little success. The escalating action by teachers is in response to last week’s announcement by Education Minister George Abbott that he had directed his staff to start preparing backto-work legislation for teachers and rejected the

Columneetza teachers Devon Hancock (left) and Gaye Burton-Coe were among teachers who braved the cold Monday morning to demonstrate in front of Marie Sharpe Elementary School. BCTF’s calls for the appointment of a mediator or arbitrator to break the impasse on wage and benefit issues. “They have really pushed us into a corner here and we have been clear from day one that

we want to negotiate a fair deal,” Erb says. She says the impasse in bargaining talks has been orchestrated by the provincial government’s refusal to move on its net zero increase stance on wages and benefits.

She says the teachers are willing to work with a unilaterally appointed mediator or an independent arbitrator. “Since day one, teachers have publicized their willingness to compromise and make conces-

sions but our efforts have been disregarded.” Erb says. “We are open to creative ways to resolve this dispute and welcome any opportunity to discuss possible resolutions with government. As usual teachers remain optimistic that reason and common sense will prevail.” Erb says the CCTA also sent a letter last week to the School District 27 board asking for the trustees’ support for the appointment of a mediator or arbitrator. Board chair Will Van Osch says the request will be on the board’s agenda for its regular meeting tonight. He said the B.C. School Trustees Association provincial council met in Vancouver over the weekend and made

a resolution urging the provincial government to support the use of an expedited mediator to resolve the current bargaining impasse. “The biggest concern I have is about what happens after a legislated settlement,” Van Osch says. “The good will will be destroyed and the teachers won’t give us the benefit of the doubt when it comes to any future considerations such as the B.C. Education Plan or the 21st Century Learning Initiative.” The B.C. Federation of Labour issued a statement Friday saying B.C.’s public and private sector unions and their more than 450,000 members stand in solidarity with B.C.’s teachers and their desire for a fair, negotiated deal.

Help available for victims of devastating fire Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer People who lost their homes when fire destroyed part of the Williams Inn Friday night can find help from several local agencies. Dave Dickson, director of Williams Lake Emergency Social Services, says ESS is responsible for victims for 72 hours

after an emergency but it has extended that responsibility by a couple of days for the Williams Inn fire victims. More than 40 people lost their homes to the fire. Dickson says ESS provided victims with funds for basic needs following the fire and has found temporary accommodation for the victims in

various locations around the city, but by Wednesday people will be on their own. He says ESS has asked the Salvation Army to co-ordinate further relief efforts and is also referring victims to the Ministry of Social Services for additional help they may need. Salvation Army Corp. Sgt. Major Dina Ken-

nedy says fire victims will be given vouchers for free clothing, household items, and furniture that may be available at the Salvation Army Thrift Store. She says volunteers will come and up pick up donations of clothing and household items people may have for the fire victims. The Salvation Army will also issue tax receipts for any

Businesses evacuated Continued From Page A2 Customers in the store heard what the officer said and began filing out the door. “I locked the doors and got done as quickly as I could and made sure everything was secure and out the door I went,” Grant said, adding police had taped off the area and employees from neigh-

bouring businesses were also outside by then. “They emptied out us, they emptied out Red Tomato Pies, 7-Eleven. I am not sure how far they went back behind because, to be honest with you, I just got out of there. It all happened really quickly.” Grant adds he didn’t take the bomb threat too seriously because he is “from the city where they

get them all of the time.” Police had also received a report of a bomb at Columneetza secondary last Thursday, Feb. 16, causing the school’s dance to be closed. That threat also turned out to be a hoax. The school Grant attended on the Coast received bomb threats frequently when he was growing up. “It’s a little sad if kids think they get a rush out

of it, but who knows for sure? I didn’t take it too, too seriously.” Anyone with knowledge or who is aware of anyone involved in this or similar incidents is strongly encouraged to contact the Williams Lake RCMP to assist them in their investigation by calling them at 250-392-6211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

cash donations people may want to make for the fire victims, she says. Wayne Lucier, the homeless outreach worker for the local Canadian Mental Health Association, is asking people to give him a call if they have any furniture they would like to donate for the fire victims. He says there is a storage locker where the items can be stored until people find permanent homes. Beds, couches, tables, chairs, televisions and the like would all be appreciated. People can reach Lucier by calling

250-305-4652. The Central Cariboo Search and Rescue at 1110 North Mackenzie Ave. has also been serving as a drop-off location for donations this week, says spokesperson Brielle Penner. She says they have been receiving donations since Sunday and have an overload of clothing. What they need now are items for setting up a home, pots, pans, coffee pots, microwaves, cutlery, dishes, pillows, sheets, blankets, and furniture. She says the rescue centre will be open to receive donations

today through Thursday from 4 to 9 p.m.; Friday from 2 to 4:30 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. A rescue truck will be parked out front of the building to help people identify the location near the Boundary/Mackenzie Avenue intersection. She says fire victims have been coming in to find items they need and they will hold items for people until they find new accommodation. Unclaimed items will be given out to the Salvation Army for distribution.

Mine exploration resumes The temporary injunction preventing Taseko Mines Ltd. from undertaking routine exploration work on the New Prosperity site, pending a B.C. Supreme Court judicial review, has been

vacated by court order. On Feb. 28, Taseko will commence a reduced scope of work that will be undertaken for the sole purposes of obtaining information required for the federal environ-

mental assessment of the proposed New Prosperity project, the company announced Monday. On this basis, the parties have agreed not to further pursue existing legal actions.

NEWS Chief reports to UN committee Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The independent MLA for Cariboo North Bob Simpson says he is not surprised that Xeni Gwet’in Chief Marilyn Baptiste is in Geneva, Switzerland this week to report to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) 80th Session. The TNG submitted a formal report to the CERD to highlight ongoing violations of Indigenous rights that the Tsilhqot’in experience in Canada. Baptiste is in Geneva to present the report to the committee. Tl’etinqox Chief Joe Alphonse, chair of the Tsilhqot’in National Government, said the Tsilhqot’in are prepared

to go to the international level to protect their nation’s rights and title. “In the case of the rebid Prosperity Mine proposal, we feel that we’ve nearly exhausted every possible avenue to resolve this at the local level, though we will continue to take our fight to the new federal panel review.” In addition, Baptiste warned the Tsilhqot’in will continue to call on both the B.C. and federal governments to uphold their fiduciary duties to protect the TNG rights and title, which Baptiste says means protecting Teztan Biny and Nabas from this dangerous proposal. “We are also calling on the reform of B.C.’s outdated mining laws to be compliant with the

standards found in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and which result in bad projects being forced upon us without our consent,” Baptiste said. Simpson told the Tribune the critical factor is that Canada clearly doesn’t have its act together in respect to First Nations’ rights and title. “It’s not just the Tsilhqot’in that are going to the United Nations. We’ve had a number of First Nations across Canada just so frustrated with the national and provincial governments, that they’ve decided to take their claims to an international body,” Simpson said. He also said the presentation in Geneva will be a “black mark”

Fields to close in lakecity Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Fields in Williams Lake will be closing as the Hudson’s Bay Company moves to winding down its Fields store operations across the country. “I don’t have an ex-

act closing date for you. We’re winding down in phases and all closures will be complete by fall 2012,” says Tiffany Bourré, external communications manager for the Hudson’s Bay Company. Bourré says the building in Williams Lake is leased. The closures, she

says, are based on a strategic decision by HBC to focus on growing its other banners — The Bay, Home Outfitters and Lord & Taylor. A total of 167 stores will be closing. The building on Oliver Street has been leased by the company, Bourré says.

Clarification notice In the Thursday, Feb. 23 issue of the Tribune, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett is quoted in the article, “Cattlemen beefed at ministers’ visit,” as saying: “These ranchers belong to the Cariboo-Chilcotin Cattlemen’s Association, the South Cariboo

Cattlemen’s Association, and the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association.” To clarify, the local association of which Duncan Barnett is the president is called the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association, not the Cariboo-Chilcotin Cattlemen’s Association.

A Cariboo-Chilcotin Cattlemen’s Association does not exist. The South Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association represents ranchers in the 100 Mile House area. The Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association is a regional member of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association.

on Canada because it will allow the rest of the world to see that Canada does not have its house in order with respect to indigenous people’s rights. Referring specifically to the proposed New Prosperity Mine Project, Simpson suggested it shows that the TNG is opposed to the particular project and the particular company, Taseko Mines Ltd. “I have been asking the government for two years now to find a mechanism to get Taseko to stand down for a bit until such times as we can figure out a way to engage in a dialogue with the Tsilhqot’in about their rights and title,” Simpson said. It could be an agreement or reconciliation

agreement structure for proponents of projects to be able to work with government and the TNG to see if those projects are going to succeed. “Taseko owns a part of the ill will that exists, but I still blame the provincial and federal governments for trying to steamroll over rights and title issues. Instead of blowing past that with another panel, they need to do the hard work of sitting down with the Tsilhqot’in to figure out how we are able to look at natural resource extraction through that rights and title lens,” Simpson suggested. Both Taseko Mines vice president of corporate affairs Brian Battison and Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett declined to comment.

table.

hat a weekend! Thursday night, another bomb threat, this time at the 7-Eleven. Friday night, the fire at the Williams French Inn. Connection Sunday, a Diana French chlorine incident at the Sam Ketcham pool. The latter hit the mainstream radio and TV news â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not the finest hour for Williams Lake. About 40 people are said to be left homeless from the hotel fire, all their belongings gone. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the repercussions from the other two incidents yet but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help wondering what next. On the plus side, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard only good things about the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency services. That is comforting, and a big thank you to the 150 Mile House and Wildwood fire crews. *** Christy Clark begins her second year as premier of our fair province with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;get-toughâ&#x20AC;? budget. How tough it is depends on who is doing the critique, but it is disingenuous to claim our costs wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go up. Paying more for Hydro, ICBC, medical services, plus the continuing HST may not be counted as taxes but it still goes out of citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pocketbooks into the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffers. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t found out yet if all the MSP money collected actually goes to health care. There is a story that some of it goes into general revenue, and if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, it sucks. You have to wonder about some budget goodies, like the $50 tax credit for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreational activities. That will only benefit those who can afford to have their kids in activities in the first place. As for selling off the liquor facilities for $7 million, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why the government is in the booze business in the first place, but selling assets is a mugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. What lasting value did we get from selling BC Rail? But, hey, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re selling off our oil, gas, gold and everything else, so why not?

Our Viewpoint

Help the fire victims About 40 people became homeless Friday night when a fire ripped through a building part of the Williams Inn. Luckily, no person was killed in the blaze, though there were some close calls as the fire spread rapidly. Unfortunately, not everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pets have been accounted for. Community support for the victims, many of whom are low-income, has been growing, and we thank each and every person, business, and organization for stepping up to help. We urge others to follow suit and help these people out as they scramble to replace the pieces of their lives that were lost. Please help them make a fresh start. One person the Tribune spoke to this week says he was the last person to make it out of the building, and if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for his fellow tenants and neighbours banging on his door, he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be alive to tell his story (see that story in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tribune).

And he is so appreciative of their help and of the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help, and is once again reminded that this community is great and, like so many times in the past, has pulled together to help others. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help that support grow. Many of the victims have relied on the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support in the past and now need our support more than ever. Emergency Social Services have been assisting the victims find temporary accommodation and funds for basic needs; the Salvation Army is also coordinating further relief efforts and victims are also being referred to the Ministry of Social Services for additional help they may need; and the Central Cariboo Search and Rescue is also serving as a drop-off point for donations. Thank you to all of them, as well as to all of the firefighters who risked their lives Friday night, and to the many others, including businesses, who are helping those who desperately need the help.

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been another busy week at the legislature with a number of important issues on the

T h e main foMLA cus of c o u r s e Musings was FiDonna Barnett nance Minister Kevin Falconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Budget 2012. Minister Falcon had the incredibly difficult task of finding out how to best manage the B.C. budget in these challenging economic times. It was a responsible budget, it was a tight budget, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the things that really sets us apart from the rest of the world right now â&#x20AC;&#x201D; being responsible and innovative in terms of finding new money. I was also incredibly proud to learn about a group of students at Thompson Rivers University here in Williams Lake, who are also using their wit and passion to do more for their school in these uncertain economic times. A group of students from TRU whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dubbed their team TRU Grit are finding exciting new ways of helping support their institution. TRU Grit recognizes the value a bustling university campus can be to its community and those surrounding it. Looking at Kamloops as a source for inspiration, many feel that the success of Williams Lake TRU could give the economy a big boost. The Kamloops TRU campus is the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest employer and their international student revenue is nearly $100 million dollars. Look further to the west and ask yourself what a city like Victoria would be without its world famous post secondary institution. TRU Grit decided it was time to shake things up a bit and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to tell you theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hosting TRU Magic on Saturday, March 31. TRU Magic will be a night of cocktails and dancing, of magic shows and auctions. It will be catered by the Overlander hotel and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re even going to have Vancouver-based March Hare performing to get everyone into the groove of things. Funds will go to scholarships and bursaries and the gala will help put the spot light on this extraordinary university. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to see so much commitment to the campus and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a night to remember. To learn more visit www. tru.ca/williamslake/gala.

Climate change not a hoax

Editor:

Editor: Simply â&#x20AC;Ś it is wrong to wager the security of our future generations in a zero-sum game of climate change â&#x20AC;Ś risked for trillions of dollars. Republican James Inhofe, Oklahoma senator, said human-genic rapid climate change is a greatest hoax perpetrated by a science-based consensus of climate scientists. Â Marketed perniciously â&#x20AC;Ś over 70 per cent of the people are convinced this is a hoax. Fatih Berol, chief economist for the International Energy Agency, says we have until 2015 â&#x20AC;ŚÂ before the door closes for the world to mitigate irreversible climate change. Â Did we lose the ability to stay below 2 C of global warming in Durban?Â Pernicious. Nicholas Stern admitted their report underestimated how fast climate change is occurring â&#x20AC;Ś underestimating â&#x20AC;&#x153;the priceâ&#x20AC;? to stop it. While Canada adds massive CO2 globally â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;irreversiblyâ&#x20AC;? developing Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mega-fossil fuel industry â&#x20AC;Ś can â&#x20AC;&#x153;irreversible climate changeâ&#x20AC;? be stopped?Â What â&#x20AC;&#x153;priceâ&#x20AC;? will you pay â&#x20AC;Ś to sustain human civilization? The trillions of dollars from marketing/developing/operating Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mega-fossil fuel industry are not without harm. Decisively â&#x20AC;ŚÂ it is harm â&#x20AC;&#x153;beyond price.â&#x20AC;? Need Canada follow precautionary principled global cooperative climate action before 2015 â&#x20AC;Ś to stay below 3.5 C â&#x20AC;Ś to stay below 4 C â&#x20AC;ŚÂ in our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifetime? What are the consequences of a mere 0.05C â&#x20AC;Ś a mere 0.08C â&#x20AC;Ś in reaching 6 C by 2100 or later? Canadians need to know â&#x20AC;Ś soon/ now.Â Canadians are betting their precious valued children and grandchildren can adapt to this. Unforeseen odds/calculus â&#x20AC;Ś in a zero-sum game? Choose to err on the side of unabated Canadian mega-fossil fuel development. However â&#x20AC;Ś most climate scientists agree that time is running out fast â&#x20AC;Ś some scientists disagreeing. Non-scientists/scientists Stephen Harper, Christy Clark, Alison Redford, Peter Kent, Joe Oliver, Terry Lake, Diana McQueen et. al. disagrees. Do you? In a real democracy â&#x20AC;Ś what counts is your decision. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proudest generation â&#x20AC;Ś or farced/ fooled/foxed â&#x20AC;ŚÂ forever egregiously grieved â&#x20AC;Ś hoaxed in a zero-sum climate game? Herb Nakada Williams Lake

The Seniors Advisory Council of Williams Lake and Area would like to thank the City of Williams Lake and their maintenance staff for moving forward with the recommended improvements to ensure Williams Lake becomes an

accessible senior-friendly community. The improvements completed to date are audio-visual crossing signals at Second Avenue and Oliver Street, Third Avenue and Oliver Street, and Eighth Avenue and Oliver Street. The sidewalk letdowns in the

downtown shopping area allow those using walkers, wheelchairs, and scooters easy access to crossings and the stores they wish to patronize. We are asking for three more handicapped parking stalls in the downtown shopping area. We are also asking all motorists to honour

the marked handicapped parking stalls by leaving them for those who are dealing with mobility issues. Thank you, Williams Lake, for your consideration. Audrey MacLise, chair Seniors Advisory Council of Williams Lake and Area

Strides made to prevent and treat cancer Editor: Re: Pink Ribbons, Inc. a timely discourse: There has been a lot of media attention surrounding the documentary film Pink Ribbons Inc., a film which is critical of the role corporations play in funding breast cancer research. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen the film, but I have followed the coverage with interest, and was struck by the clip in the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trailer which makes the assertion that breast cancer treatment hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed in decades. The film maintains that the options available to women in the

1980s were â&#x20AC;&#x153;slash, burn, poisonâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; referring to surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that these are the same options available today. Â Having worked in the field of breast cancer research over the past 20 years, I felt compelled to provide some nuance with respect to the accuracy of that statement, which is simplistic at best. Researchers look at breast cancer across the spectrum â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from prevention, to screening and detection, the biology of the cancer, to treatment and quality of life for women living with the disease. Â In all of those areas, science has made

some tremendous advances, and many of these can be attributed to the research dollars raised through the breast cancer movement. Perhaps most notably, as recently as the early 1980s, the only accepted surgical option available to women was a radical mastectomy. Â The introduction of the lumpectomy, the targeted removal of a tumour, provided a range of choice for women, and is helping to improve the quality of life following treatment. Â Radiation and chemotherapy have also continued to evolve, delivering treatment that is more targeted and less toxic. To suggest that the options for

women diagnosed with breast cancer are the same now as they were 25 years ago is an over-simplification of the process of detecting, diagnosing and treating the disease. Research has built a body of knowledge that is continuing to improve the options available to find the disease early and treat it effectively to enable more women to survive. Â This would not have been possible without the support of the community to ensure that dedicated funding for breast cancer research is available. Gurmit Singh, PhD St. George, Ontario

news Overturned truck spills load on frozen creek An Arrow Transportation truck, en route from Mount Polley Mine to Vancouver on Feb. 20, turned over, spilling its load of 25,000 to 30,000 kilograms of copper concentrate onto the frozen South Hawks Creek. The truck and trailer have been removed and work continues on removing the concentrate. Norm Fallows, senior environmental emergency response officer with the B.C. Ministry of Environment, says an estimated 200 litres of diesel from the saddle tanks was also spilled at the site. He says the creek is fish-bearing, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not known if that particular area of the creek is. The one-vehicle accident occurred where Mountain House Road joins Likely Road. Hazco Environmental Services Arrow Transportation have been at the site. Further site clean-up is in the works, and assessments will be done to ensure that the water quality at South Hawks Creek isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being compromised. Fallows says the environmental impact is likely minimal. No one was injured.

Williams Lake Recreational Hockey League playoffs

Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer

The Williams Lake Recreational Hockey League wraps up its season the week of March 5 with its semifinal and final games. It all wraps up Friday, with the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; division final and Saturday, with the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; division final. The leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinal matchups will be played during the week. The leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final goes Friday at 9:15 p.m. and will be followed by the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final at 10:45 p.m.

Justin Foote stopped 35 shots Saturday to help lead the Williams Lake Stampeders to a win over the Smithers Steelheads in game one of the Central Interior Hockey League playoff final. The win also put a halt to the Steelheadsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 22-game unbeaten streak this season. Smithers won all 18 games of its regular season before winning its first four playoff games. Saturday, a determined Stampeders squad took to the ice at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex in front of 600-plus fans. There, both teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goaltenders put on an absolute clinic. Both teams had multiple scoring opportunities throughout the contest, but neither team could solve the otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s netminder. Footeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counterpart, Mike Wall, stopped 43 shots in the losing effort, only to be beaten by Williams Lake forward and playoff leading scorer Matt Lees at 14:13 of the second period. CIHL regular season scoring champion Nathan Zurak and Jason Wright picked up the assists on the goal. The Stampeders and the Steelheads will now lace up the skates

sports Young grapplers gain experience It was the black and blue’s young grapplers shining Feb. 17 in 100 Mile House when the Williams Lake Wrestling Club competed at Wrestlemania. The club took 12 athletes to the event, hosted at Peter Skene Ogden secondary. “This was an elementary playday with students from kindergarten to Grade 7 competing,” said WLWC president Sonia Conrod. “All students that wrestle receive medals. The primary level kids, kindergarten to Grade 3, all receive participation medals and are all winners.” Conrod said watching this age group compete is extremely entertaining, and enjoyable. “This is one of the most enjoyable ages to watch as they all have such a great time,” she said. “They put on their ‘grrr’ faces, yet smile even when being pinned.” Intermediate wrestlers, grades 4-7, received medals for gold, silver and bronze. It was the first tournament for the elementary grapplers who, Conrod said, performed exceptionally well. First-year wrestlers Gage Davis and Trey Al-

phonse, the club’s youngest wrestlers, both got ribbons for competing. Grade 2 grapplers Steven Campbell, Gabriel Eves and Boston Mason each also earned medals. Corbin Ash, a first-year wrestler, also won both his matches. In intermediate grade 4 boys Zane Barr wrestle his way to a silver medal. Colby Ash won bronze, while Nathan Preston, in a tough weight class, battled his way to a fourthplace finish. Also in the division Brayden Hall took bronze. Grade 5 Alexander Eves, a veteran with the club, also won a bronze medal. On the girls’ side Haleigh Stubitch, also known as Mighty Mouse by club members, walked away with a gold medal. The WLCW high school wrestlers also helped referee at the tournament. “A special thanks goes out to all that helped — Mylissa Widdoes, Makaela Haller, Kerry Normand and Braden Conrod. Also, to Dan Smith for donating his time to drive the bus to 100 Mile so our youngsters could compete,” Conrod said.

Water ski championships coming Chimney Lake, located 50 kilometres southeast of Williams Lake, will play host to the 2012 B.C. Water Skiing Championships. Adult and youth water skiers from around the province will converge at the event, slated to run July 28-29. The announcement comes following a $2,500 grant to Water Ski and Wakeboard B.C. from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development’s Hosting B.C. program. “These grants offer local organizations the opportunity to help showcase our region while promoting healthy, exciting activities for the whole family to take part in,” said Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. “The championships will bring a lot of action to the community

and I’m very pleased with this announcement.” Heading up the bid to host the provincials

was local water skier Parnell Pinette. Parnell’s 12-year-old son Conley Pinette was recently awarded the

under-21 award at the B.C. Water Skiing annual general meeting and awards ceremony in Vancouver.

Conley, the 2011 Canadian Water Ski Champion for his age, will be competing at provincials.

Walmart in Williams Lake is proud to help raise awareness for the problem of bullying. Bullying can take on many forms: physical, verbal, social exclusion, and cyber bullying are just a few. Parents can help their child by reassuring them it’s not their fault. Bullying must be confronted to be stopped, and parents can contact the school about the problem and work with the school to find a solution.

TOPS: tackling the pounds sensibly Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Starting a new year often means starting or renewing plans to lose weight and get fit. One lakecity mother-daughter team has found TOPS to be a great way to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Take off Pounds Sensibly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and just as importantly keep the extra pounds off. Club leader Claudette Schafer and her daughter, Laurie Klekowski, are members of the Monday night TOPS BC Club 1286 that was established in Williams Lake in 1971. With 19 members, she says the Monday night group is the largest of the three TOPS Clubs in Williams Lake. With support from club members and her daughter, Schafer says she successfully lost 40 pounds and has kept the weight off for the past six years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not about diet, but learning to make the right choices in nutrition and learning to change,â&#x20AC;? Schafer says. Schafer says her daughter Laurie moved from Cranbrook to Williams Lake last August on her birthday, so as a present she bought her daughter a membership in TOPS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Laurie always was and still is a great supporter for me,â&#x20AC;? Schafer says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past when visiting me, she alwaysÂ came as a guest to our TOPS club. She has travelled with me endlessly to our out-oftown workshops and supported me through these functions.â&#x20AC;? Klekowski joined TOPS with a goal and permission slip from her doctor to start the program. By Dec. 26, 2011 she had reached her goal of losing 51.5 pounds. She will be graduating at the regional ceremony in Penticton this May and will beÂ the TOPS chapter queen if she can keep her weight within the 10 pound lee-way of her goal weight.

Weigh-in time is from 6 to 6:45 p.m. with the meeting following from 7 to 8 p.m. Encouragement and health related information is provided during the meetings. Schafer says they also try to have speakers each week on various topics such as nutrition, diabetes, make-overs, and other health and fitness topics. Recently she says Cindy Nelson from Dockside Haircuts presented a terrific workshop on hair style doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The members were impressed and some who had never thought of doing anything differently to their hair did go to see her and were surprised on the new look she gave them,â&#x20AC;? Nelson says. Incentive awards are presented to the best loser of the week, best

loser of the month. Similar incentives are presented to KOPS members who have reached their target goal and continue to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep Off Pounds Sensibly.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The incentives encourage members to keep going,â&#x20AC;? Claudette says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The monthly winner gets either the mug of the month or sometimes a member will buy something out of their own pocket and donate it as a gift.â&#x20AC;? Fundraising such as raffles, and donations help to pay for the member incentives and rent on their meeting room at the church. Membership fees are $8 a month or members can also pay for a full year up front which gives them two free months. Schafer says the club holds an open house once a year and participates in Clubs Day in Boitanio Mall. Last July, Schafer says she also

took the food safe course so the group could host a fundraiser at Save On Foods. Schafer was the club leader for three years before taking a year off to take care of her husband who had suffered a stroke. She was voted back in as leader in 2011. While it has been difficult caring for her husband, who has been disabled by the stroke, she is happy to be back in the role of club leader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find it very rewarding, the challenges,Â always looking for ways to have fundraisers, trying to better the club, getting new members, helping others to reach their goal as I have,â&#x20AC;? Schafer says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taking on a position on the executive, a personÂ gains a lot of knowledge and learns to be assertive.â&#x20AC;?Â For more information about TOPS contact Schafer at 250-3982093.

Encouragement key ingredient Gaeil Farrar Special to The Tribune The support they find at Monday night TOPS or Take off Pounds Sensibly meetings has been the key ingredient for many women to slim down and live a more healthy lifestyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to come to the meetings and participate in your club and eat sensibly,â&#x20AC;? says Del Bremner of her success in keeping off 50

pounds of unwanted weight for 15 years. TOPS members who achieve and maintain their goals become KOPS (Keep off Pounds Sensibly) members. Bremner says she joined TOPS with some friends in the lower mainland in 1968 and transferred to the Williams Lake club when she moved here in 1973. But it was only 15 years ago that she was able to finally lose 50 pounds and not regain it again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as hard to maintain it,

once you lose it,â&#x20AC;? Bremner says encouragingly. Long-time member Dorothy Broomfield agrees: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody can do it for you. You have to do it for yourself.â&#x20AC;? Rose Dickens joined TOPS about four years ago to lose some weight and has maintained her goal weight for three years. See WEIGH-INS Page A13

Rose Dickens (left) and Del Bremner get ready for their weigh-ins.

She says she tried other methods and plans for losing weight but they didn’t work because they didn’t include the ongoing support she has found at TOPS. “If I don’t come to the meetings I gain weight right away. It’s the accountability,” Dickens says. “You get encouragement at the weigh-ins from all the other ladies. They don’t give you a diet to follow. They teach you very good nutrition. We encourage each other.

We never bawl each other out. There is always next week.” Brenda Bentley has been in TOPS for 20 years. She started with a group in Prince George and then joined the group here when she moved to Williams Lake a few years ago. For many years she says she was unable to shed the unwanted pounds but coming to the weigh-ins kept her aware of herself and her weight. Two years ago, she says she finally resolved to lose the weight after a family member died of weight-related health complications. Bentley lost 50 pounds and says she has been able to successfully keep it off by eating healthier and swimming 120 laps at the pool four times a week. “I had to get mo-

tivated and just get with it,” Bentley says. “I just decided that enough is enough.” Evelyn Murray has been a weight recorder with the group for about 20 years. She says she has never achieved her goal weight or KOPS status but coming to the meetings each week helps her to keep her weight in check when it starts to rise.

NUMBERS

Your Preschooler and… Numbers Being familiar with numbers, time, distance and shapes will help your child develop the math skills they will need at school. Remember that, like all learning, numbers should be fun and connected to real life. Many children learn better by counting the stones on the beach or apples in a grocery bag than by looking at fl ash cards. Typically, three-year-olds will be able to count to ten. Most preschoolers will be able to sort objects into groups and to name different shapes (such as triangle and square). At age three children are generally beginning to understand time, measurement like weight and height, and distances like near and far.

Bulk Water Station at Stampede Grounds Ready For Use The Smart Card Bulk Water Dispensing System at the Stampede Grounds is ready for public use. The station, located next to the sani-station at the Stampede Grounds, uses a smart card system. The user will pre-purchase credits for bulk water on a reusable card at the front desk at City Hall. Users can then go to the bulk water station at any time and swipe the card to access water. The system will allow users to dispense the amount of water desired and give a remaining card balance. When the card credits have been exhausted, users can simply take their card back to City Hall and repeat the process of purchasing additional credits. Cards are free, but a fee of $12 will be charged for lost or stolen cards. The cost of water is $0.01 per litre. The system will remove the need for water haulers to use the hydrant at the municipal works yards, saving both time and money. The sani-station will be restricted to the filling of recreational vehicles only, and bulk water haulers and other businesses that require water will be required to utilize the new bulk water station.

CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE

Try some of these with your preschooler: 1. Count as a part of everyday routines with your child: “Please get me six spoons for lunch.” “How many letters are in the mailbox?” 2. Discuss the order of events to help your child understand time: “This morning at 10:00 we are going to the store. After lunch, you will have time to play.” 3. Make a calendar with your child. Write in special days (his or her birthday, the trip to the library) and have your child mark off each day until it arrives. 4. Help your child learn your family’s phone number and address. 5. Collect objects (buttons, stones, blocks) and sort them by shape, colour or size. 6. Talk about shapes. Identify shapes in the world around you and talk about them with your child: “That window is square.” “That cookie is round.” 7. Start a growth chart for your child. Talk about the ideas of weight and height. 8. Ask your child to guess how many cups of water it will take to fi ll a pitcher or bowl then fi ll the pitcher and check the guesses. 9. Use words that give direction when asking your child to do something: “Look under the box.” “Put it beside your bed.” 10. Make a counting book. Glue groups of small objects (like buttons or feathers) on pieces of paper and then bind the pages together to make a “book”. When browsing through the book together, help your child count the different groups of objects.

Station House Gallery visitors tour with former resident Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer

Photo submitted

The Station House Gallery hosted two days of informal guided tours last week to celebrate Heritage Week. Gallery manager Diane Toop says visitors were treated to tours with Libby Abbott who grew up in the former Pacific Great Eastern Railway station house from 1930 to 1944. Abbott had great stories to share, Toop says. She spoke about a winter’s day when she was about nine years of age, and was sledding down Oliver Street. “She was feeling quite smug and waving at everyone in the businesses as she slid by and then realized that she couldn’t stop,” Toop says. “Much to her chagrin (and some loose teeth) she hit the boardwalk that was then outside the Station House.” Libby’s father, Edward Howard-Gibbons, came to Williams Lake as the station master in 1929. Libby’s mother, Edith, came a year later with three-year-old Libby and her older brother Austin. Edith had refused to come until there was indoor plumbing installed. Youngest son, John, was born three years later. Libby’s family lived in the building until she was 17. Trains arrived in Williams Lake on Tuesday and Friday mornings at 10 a.m. and returned from Quesnel at 8 p.m. the same day. “When the trains arrived, they carried everything for the town — passengers, cows, freight, all the town’s needs,” Toop says. “Ev-

Visitors to the Station House Gallery last week had a rare opportunity to be given a tour with Libby Abbott (right) who grew up in the building when it was home to the PGE station master. Pictured are Dorothy Ingalls (left), Chris Hutton, Clayton Allen (tour guide), Lorie Wilson and Libby Abbott. eryone in town came down to see who was arriving and departing, it was the place that people came together and visited.” The gallery tours were hosted by Clayton Allen, who took the brave ones down into the basement to see the furnaces that have been keeping the building warm for many years. “Visitors were shown how the building was divided into the original rooms, where windows/ doors were at that time and old photos were on display,” Toop says. “This week truly brought an understanding of how this building was such an integral part of the beginnings of Williams Lake, how well used the building was and we are happy that our society took on the job of maintaining and preserving such an important part of our past. “The Station House was proud to be a part of Heritage Week and is excited to have more Heritage sites on the BC Heritage Registry.” In 1919, the Pacific Great Eastern Railway linked Williams Lake to the rest of the province.

The station house was completed in 1920. The railroad built the major stock yards, forming a hub for cattle trade in the region. Williams Lake prospered, developed and fanned out from a road house owned by Constable William Pinchbeck. The original station house was vacated when a new control centre was built on its current site in the Cottonwood Industrial site. In the late 1970s, the original PGE station house was a boarded up, unused building (except for the waiting room and small ticket master office) in a state of disrepair. A group of people who realized how imperative it was that one of the few historic buildings that Williams Lake had left be saved, formed the Station House Society. The society was formally established in 1981, a lease was negotiated with the owner B.C. Rail and the society got to work fundraising. After much down and dirty labour, business donations, bake sales etc. the building was brought back to its for-

mer glory. It was during this time that the idea/plan to use the building as a community public art gallery came into focus. More hard work and fundraising ensued to transform the interior to a working gallery and the name was then

The Future is Now screens at library tomorrow The Williams Lake library will show the film The Future is Now on Wednesday, Feb. 29 starting at 7 p.m. in the program room. In this entertaining film a journalist (Liane Balaban) meets “Man of Today” (Paul Ahmarani) who, while a responsible citizen, is

disengaged from greater society. He believes once he’s dead nothing more matters. As an experiment to see if she can turn his pessimistic view around, the journalist sends him on a journey of enlightenment to prove that the future does matter. Travel-

ling the globe, he finds himself in surprising encounters with great minds in the arts and sciences. Starting with an unexpected poetry reading and conversation with experimental poet Christian Bök, Man of Today engages with architect Shigeru Ban,

activist Francis Dupuis-Déri, philosopher Alain de Botton, artist Marlene Dumas, novelist Rivka Galchen, leading scientists and a ghost. Will the journalist succeed in turning a cynic into an optimist? Will it matter? What can one person do?

The Fraser - The landscape where the Prosperity hydro transmission will cross the Fraser at Little Dog Creek, looks like what is pictured here. There are pithouse depressions and petroglyph rocks along the river in the general area, the Fraser corridor from where the Junction Sheep range is near Farwell Canyon down all along to the Fraser Canyon is a major sheep range.
