Spring has sprung? Greg Sabatino

Not quite, judging by the toques and the jackets; however, that didn’t stop two-year-old Lincoln McGuire and his sister, three-year-old Molly McGuire, from enjoying the gorgeous sunny day Sunday at Kiwanis Park.

Police seized 420 marijuana plants and arrested two people at a grow op in 150 Mile House Wednesday. The Williams Lake RCMP executed a search warrant on the property after receiving information there was a marijuana grow operation at that location. One male and one female were arrested at the scene. Charges are being recommended against the 31-year-old male located in the residence.

CEAA releases mine guidelines Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Taseko Mines Limited says the guidelines released by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) Friday identify the nature, scope and extent of the information the company will have to address in its environmental impact statement (EIS) for its New Prosperity gold-copper mine project. “These are our instructions,” says Brian Battison, vice president of corporate affairs for Taseko Mines Ltd. “The government commitment was to focus the EIS on those aspects of the project that have changed, rather than re-examining components of the proj-

ect that have not changed. These guidelines seem clear in this regard and are consistent with the minister’s commitment.” Battison suggests the company hasn’t identified any surprises in the 74-page document. “It’s what you’d expect of environmental assessment guidelines.” Included in the guidelines are a requirement that the findings by the previous panel on the original project regarding significant adverse environmental effects on aboriginal rights and title, current use of the lands and resources for traditional purposes by First Nations and on cultural heritage resources be addressed. Taseko will also be asked to document how it used scientific,

engineering and community and aboriginal traditional knowledge to reach its conclusions. It is expected that the new components of the project and their interaction with those elements and features of the project that have not changed from the previous project proposal will be subject to additional technical studies and inventories. The next step, Battison says, will be to prepare the company’s response. “The federal government made a commitment that it would have their work done in one year. The clock stops while we prepare our environmental impact statement and that is the subject of the environmental assessment, “ Battison

says, adding when the environmental assessment takes place then people will have an opportunity to see what’s behind the company’s plan, the science behind it and how the company plans to do its work. “It will take us some time to put that together,” he adds, saying it’s too early to tell how long that will take. When asked to compare the size of New Prosperity to Gibraltar Mine, Battison explains while Gibraltar presently processes around 55,000 tonnes per day through its concentrator, New Prosperity would aim for 70,000 tonnes a day.

City signage session to include public input Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer People with ideas about signage in the city are encouraged to attend a public information session being held at city hall on March 29 at 6 p.m. “The city’s internal Bylaw Review Advisory Committee (BRAC) has found several areas in which the bylaw is in need of an update or areas that the bylaw could be expanded to include other types of signage,” the city says. Some of the changes are around real-estate signs and sandwich boards. They include that real estate signs be removed within 30 days

after a lease, sale or rental has transpired. That real estate signs be placed safely on properties and not pose a hazard, that they only be present on active listings, that they be kept in an active state of repair and that open-house signs be removed once the open house has taken place. When it comes to sandwich boards, the city is hoping to come up with a definition because at present there isn’t one. Aside from wanting to define one as a freestanding sign, intended for temporary use during business hours, and non illuminated, the city would like to

restrict them to one per business and require that business owners have a permit with an insurance policy. Other areas up for discussion include making the bylaw easier to interpret, reviewing current fees to include a sign permit fee, increasing liability insurance, adding provisions to allow offsite signs for commercial and industrial parks, authorizing the bylaw to include the bylaw officers, and authorizing fines by way of fine schedule. The public is also encouraged to send an e-mail or write a letter to mayor and council on the proposed changes.

Assaults, break-ins among recent police reports Between March 13 and March 17 the RCMP responded to more than 20 incidents. March 13: • Numerous thefts from vehicles in the 11th Avenue North and Coxon Street area were reported, with some vehicle windows being broken. However, nothing of significant value was taken. • A male reported that he needed an ambulance after he was punched in the face. When police attended they learned the fight was a result of a long feud between two males. One male was arrested. March 14: • Two corded tools and a large planer, valued together at $1,300, were

stolen from a garage/ shop on Brouse Road in 150 Mile House. A suspect has surfaced and the investigation is ongoing. • When seven curfew checks were conduced, one female was arrested for breaching hers. She was held in custody to appear before a justice of the peace. • RCMP followed up on a call of a suspicious male trying a door handle of a local business, but were unable to locate him. • While officers were inspecting an abandoned vehicle, three teenagers returned and admitted to taking it for a joy ride. The owner did not want to press charges. • Twelve curfew checks revealed all were compliant. • Checks of local drinking establishments identified no issues.

March 15: • Officers arrested a male on an outstanding Vancouver warrant, and on request of the Vancouver police, held him in custody to appear in court. • Stereo equipment was stolen from a vehicle parked on Huston Street. • A female escaped injury after the red pickup truck she was driving rolled on its side on Ottoman Road. Officers, firefighters and paramedics attended the scene to help remove her from the vehicle. She was transported to Cariboo Memorial Hospital for a routine examination. • Officers are being asked to make patrols on Horsefly Road near Spokin Lake Road to ensure that logging trucks and chip trucks are not speeding.

• A male reported that a red Honda Civic, with four occupants, drove by and someone inside the car shot him with a paintball gun. He was not injured and police did not locate the vehicle. • When a speeding driver was pulled over, police discovered he was prohibited from driving. He was arrested and released to appear in court at a later date. • Three curfew checks were all found to be compliant. • Checks were conducted of local drinking establishments, and no issues were identified. March 16: • A male reported that two males confronted him on the street and threatened to stab him. The matter is under investigation.

• Overnight three separate vehicles/residences on Fifth and Sixth avenues, as well as Richland Drive, were shot with a paint balls. • One male was arrested for breaching his curfew and there is another previous breach outstanding on this male. • When checks were conducted at local drinking establishments, two intoxicated individuals were arrested. • Seventeen curfews were conducted and two individuals were found to be in breach of their conditions. March 17: • Responding to a report that a group of intoxicated people were staggering through a local grocery store parking lot and a witness observed a female punch a male in the face, officers

attended and found all parties highly intoxicated. The female was arrested for the assault and later released on an undertaking to appear in court. At the same event another female punched her boyfriend in the face. Both parties were arrested, and the female was charged with assault and released on an undertaking to appear in court. • The RCMP received information that a female had been assaulted the previous night, but when officers attempted to speak with her she declined police assistance. • When the RCMP responded to a fight at a drinking establish-

ment, they determined the fight was consensual and charges were not required. • By the time officers responded to another fight at a drinking establishment, it was already over. • A female driver, when pulled over, provided a breath sample that determined she was over the legal limit. She was released on a promise to appear in court. • Someone threw a rock through an apartment window, but no suspects have been identified. • Twelve curfew checks showed that all were compliant.

Budget meetings scheduled The next two City of Williams Lake public budget meetings are

scheduled March 22 and March 29. Both meetings start at 7 p.m.

Interior Health funding helps support Esk’etemc workshop and says she really enjoyed the workshop. She credits the community’s health director Irene Johnson for drumming up interest for the workshop and says it took more than a year to get Mate to the community because he’s so popular. “She talked to resource people, teachers, and people to come and hear him,” Joyce says of Irene’s efforts. With a warm chuckle, Joyce says there will always be problems in the community, but things are always getting better too. “There are problems everywhere,” she says. A total of $200,000

was allotted by Interior Health for 16 health education initiatives in different communities across its region. In the meantime, Robbins continues to work on a grant application with the City of Williams Lake, the Cariboo Regional District, and neighbouring communities, to pursue federal funding for some community events that will raise awareness of the residential school experience. Robbins hopes Mate could be part of a panel including others such as Dr. Martin Brokenleg, Frank Austin Many Horses and Dr. Bruce Perry.

EIS online Continued From Page A1 “It’s a bit larger, but the value is in the capital investment. It’s a billion dollars of investment in the province. That has a big benefit and value for the people in the prov-

ince and the people that live here,” Battison says. On a work-force level, however, Gibraltar with the expansion will grow to have 700 employees from its present 500, whereas New Prosperity would have around 500 employees, he notes.

Tsilhqot’in National Government chair Chief Joe Alphonse says the project has already been defeated once so the guidelines for the environmental assessment should be even tougher for the New Prosperity proposal.

“If the process doesn’t take a hard and tough look, then it (the process) will be viewed as a sham,” Alphonse says. To see the full EIS document go to http:// www.ceaa.gc.ca/050/ document-eng. cfm?document=54831.

Funding from Interior Health made it possible for the Esk’etemc First Nations (Alkali Lake) to bring in Dr. Gabor Mate to do a one-day workshop in February. Mate is a well-known physician and author who has expertise on a range of topics, from addiction and attention deficit disorder (ADD) to mind-body wellness, adolescent mental health, and parenting. “It was the second time he’s come to our community,” says Esk’etemc Chief Fred Robbins. “He’s always come

with a little different message, but what I found out from attending was that dealing with issues that relate to when you were growing up as a child and the impact those issues have today for us as adults,” Robbins says. Around 75 to 100 people from Alkali Lake, and other communities attended the workshop. “There were all different age groups. We had youth come in the morning,” Robbins says. Joyce Johnson has been a referrals and counsellor worker at Alkali Lake for 15 years

Big Creek watershed Gov’t passes Bill 22 assessment to begin Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Big Creek Watershed Rancher Randy Saugstad says the harvest of pine beetle-affected wood continues to have a negative impact on his ranch. “We got a mess here. Forest Practices Board know we’ve got a mess, but their mandate is such that they cannot do anything too controversial, and the mills are not doing anything illegal in harvesting the pine beetle wood because the government changed the laws,” Saugstad says. Saugstad notes there wasn’t a drought this year or a cold snap in November 2011, yet he has no water to feed his 150 cows. “When we only had the pine beetle to contend with I still had plenty of water,” Saugstad recalls. In the last two years, one third of his place was under water for two and a half months in the summer of 2011, and

this is the second winter in a row that he’s had no water in the winter for the cattle. The changes, he alleges, are a direct result of logging. Saugstad has been waiting for a Big Creek Watershed Storage Assessment Project to begin, which the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources confirmed Monday will be taking place. “Minister (Steve) Thomson sent Mr. Saugstad a letter this week confirming that the Big Creek Watershed Storage Assessment Project is moving ahead,” a ministry spokesperson says. “The goal of this project is to create a template for watershed planning that can be used in other affected watersheds; identify various locations for water resource development; prioritize potential water storage locations; provide cost estimates; and outline specific design and construction requirements for water storage.” Referring to the rec-

ommendations made by the Forest Practices Board study released last fall, Saugstad says one of the suggestions was that no more logging should occur in the Big Creek watershed until a hydrology study is undertaken. “Now I learn that BC Timbersales is going to do more logging … .” Saugstad says. “What good is it for the Forest Practices Board doing these reports if government ignores them?” The ministry has also confirmed that Tolko and BCTS have licences to harvest timber in the vicinity of Big Creek. “Some of that work has taken place over the winter; however it’s anticipated that harvesting will soon stop for “break-up” (soft ground in spring) and then begin again in the summer. “These plans are focused mainly on stands of pine-beetle killed timber that need to be harvested before they lose their commercial value,” the ministry says.

Cariboo Chilcotin Teacher’s Association president Joan Erb is among teachers who participated in a leafleting campaign on the streets of Vancouver Monday to raise awareness about the B.C. Teacher’s Federation’s opposition to Bill 22 that was passed in the legislature, March 15. Erb is among 700 delegates participating in the BCTF’s 96th annual general meeting in Vancouver this week.

Erb says she is not able to talk about discussions taking place at the conference because most of the meetings are in camera. Bill 22, the Education Improvement Act, suspends teachers’ strike action, establishes a “cooling off” period and appoints a mediator to work with the parties toward a negotiated agreement. The new legislation extends the existing contract to cover the media-

tion period. If a new agreement cannot be reached by the beginning of summer, the mediator will make nonbinding recommendations to government by June 30. According to a government release Bill 22 also implements a new Learning Improvement Fund of $165 million over three years to help school districts and teachers address complex classroom composition issues.

Fresh water too often taken for granted

Welcome Rick Hansen

O

T

hursday is World Water Day, a day to take a minute to think about the resource we all take for granted. Most of us turn on the French tap and Connection use what comes Diana French out of it for drinking, cooking, and washing ourselves and our belongings, without giving much thought to how much water is needed for other things, electricity, crop irrigation, landscaping, manufacturing, fracking for natural gas, recreation, whatever. This year’s theme is Water and Food Security. The United Nations’ definition of food security is that everyone has enough to eat to be healthy and active. It takes between 2,500 and 5,000 litres of water to produce food for one person each day. Unfortunately many countries don’t have enough freshwater to go around, and countries that do, like Canada, over-use and abuse it. The “health� of the world’s freshwater ecosystems has declined by 50 per cent since 1970, more than half the world’s major rivers have been seriously damaged, and more than half of the world’s wetlands have been eliminated. It goes on and on. The reason is obvious. The world population is growing and consequently using more water, so more freshwater ecosystems are disrupted, contaminated and too often destroyed. Does it matter? Maybe not to us, but it could mean disaster for our grandchildren. There is an end to everything, the Earth is finite, and our fresh water supply won’t last if we keep mucking it up. Those of us who live in Williams Lake and the surrounding areas get our water from a common aquifer, and so far the aquifer is “holding its own� in terms of sustainabilty. According to the 2010 Piteau report, 59 per cent of the city’s water goes to domestic use and 41 per cent to industry. Some 30 per cent of household water goes to flushing toilets. Some wonder if industrial use and flushing toilets are the best things to do with fresh water. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Our Viewpoint

An instructive failure The resignation of Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy from the cabinet of Premier Christy Clark might be considered a minor blip in B.C. politics. From time to time, cabinet ministers do something inappropriate enough that they should (and usually do) resign. In Bloy’s case, he shared an e-mail from a reporter with the individual whom the reporter was gathering information about. The person he shared it with is a substantial donor to the BC Liberals. The bigger story is that Bloy’s resignation is a microcosm of all that has gone off the rails for the BC Liberals in the year since Clark became premier. It is important to remember that he was the only MLA who supported her leadership bid. Thus, he was rewarded with a cabinet post when she put together her cabinet team, which was mostly holdovers from the Gordon Campbell era. Unfortunately, he was the cabinet minister responsible for Community Living B.C., which had done a terrible job in dealing with many of its clients, mostly adults with physical and mental challenges. Part of what went wrong was started by the Campbell government, but Bloy was not the person to clean up the mess. He was completely out of his depth and was

like a deer caught in the headlights. Clark shuffled him off to a minor portfolio and called in Stephanie Cadieux, a new MLA, to help get to the bottom of the troubles at Community Living B.C. Thus far, there seems to be some positive progress on that front. Now Bloy is gone from cabinet completely, and in what is rare if not unprecedented, Clark has also announced that he won’t run in the next election. One wonders if he was given a choice, and what his constituents think about the premier’s pronouncement. Clark’s government has lurched from crisis to crisis in the past year, with very mixed results in getting to the bottom of problems. Some like to blame it all on her management style, and that’s part of it, but the bigger truth is that this government has completely run out of gas. While it has some able ministers and good ideas, the public isn’t listening any more. The majority have turned their backs on the BC Liberals. It’s sad in a way, because the Campbell and Clark governments have done some good work. But this is how democracy works. It’s never pretty to watch a government go down. — Langley Times

ur communities are getting ready to host a hero — and a medal that has travelled a long, long way. On March 25 and 26 in Williams Lake, and March MLA 27 in 100 Mile Musings House, Donna Barnett we will welcome Rick Hansen on his 25th Anniversary Relay. This relay marks the silver anniversary of Hansen’s Man In Motion World Tour and passes a commemorative medal among 7,000 MedalBearers across Canada. The Man In Motion World Tour began on March 22, 1985, when a 27-year-old paraplegic man named Rick Hansen set out on an journey to travel the world by wheelchair. His goal was to raise awareness and promote accessibility and inclusivity for people with spinal cord injuries. For 26 months, Hansen and his team travelled more than 40,000 kilometres through 34 countries. On average, Hansen wheeled the equivalent of two marathons and eight hours a day. In the end, the tour raised $26 million for the cause; $20 million of this was raised in Canada alone. Rick Hansen’s 25th Anniversary Relay retraces the Canadian portion of his route, and we are happy to welcome the relay members to B.C. as they near the end of the relay. Our region has a special connection with Hansen — he grew up in Williams Lake. So with open arms, we welcome him home. On March 25, the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex in Williams Lake will host celebrations with local musicians and a family barbecue, and the next day a monument to Hansen will be unveiled at the Tourism Discovery Centre. On March 27, the South Cariboo Recreation Centre in 100 Mile House will feature interactive karaoke and a sledge hockey game at their festivities. Hansen is nothing short of an inspirational Canadian who has committed his life to supporting people with spinal cord injuries. Among other projects, he has established research institutes and networks, school programs and grants, and the Rick Hansen Foundation, which has invested nearly $252 million toward spinal cord research, accessibility projects, and quality of life initiatives. His legacy has impacted an immeasurable number of people’s lives, and he continues to share his belief with the world that “anything is possible.� Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Marijuana task force deemed a success Natalie Cameron Free Press An RCMP task force targeting large-scale marijuana production in the Cariboo — North District Region was deemed successful after its 15-month mandate resulted in seizing nearly 11 tons of pot on 70 properties. It also resulted in criminal charges being laid against 78 people. B.C. Justice Minister Shirley Bond and Supt. Brian Cantera, officer in charge RCMP Federal Drug Enforcement Branch, praised the Cariboo Region Integrated Marijuana Enforcement (CRIME) task force at a news conference Friday. “From a policing perspective, the results that we have seen from the CRIME project were very substantial,� Cantera said. “Through strategic and targeted enforcement we were able to disrupt and dismantle the grow-ops. This prevented the illegal marijuana from being used as commodity to export and purchase other drugs, such as cocaine, or firearms. CRIME was created to work closely with local detachments to disrupt the ability of organized crime from illegal grow-ops after the RCMP in the region identified the grow-ops as a widespread problem. Bond announced due to the previous success a new program

March 16, from left, Inspector Peter Haring, Superintendent Eric Stubbs, Superintendent Brian Cantera, Minister Shirley Bond, Superintendent Rod Booth at the announcement of the success of CRIME and the provincial government sponsoring the North District Integrated Marijuana Enforcement Team (NDIME). will be picking up where CRIME ended. “We want to build on the success of the CRIME program and that is why we will be providing

the resources to ensure that the momentum continues,� she said. The North District Integrated Marijuana Enforcement Team (NDIME) focuses on grow-

ops throughout Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. It is stationed out of Prince George. “The North District Integrated

Marijuana Enforcement Task Force will provide expertise and support to local detachments,� Bond said. The task force will receive additional provincial support from Regional General Investigative Services and North District Criminal Intelligence Probe Team and federal support from the Integrated Proceeds of Crime Section. NDIME includes members from Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, two RCMP Drug Enforcement branch members, and one member from the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit. Unlike CRIME, this task force does not have a time limit. “We expect this to be an ongoing program,� Bond said. “I’ve made it very clear to our team that this type of enforcement is essential and once you build up this kind of momentum, I mean the initial results are very dramatic—11 tons of marijuana, we simply have to see that continue.� Supt. Rod Booth, acting commanding officer North District RCMP, said an on-going task force is what the region needs. “By continuing our targeted enforcement of marijuana grow operations in north district we are clearly serving notice that organized crime groups are not welcome; I repeat, organized crime groups are not welcome in the north district.�

Smithers Steelheads win Coy Cup With their screaming fans behind them, in a foreign rink, the Smithers Steelheads finally hoisted the Coy Cup high over their heads in a stunning 3-1 victory over the Kitimat Ice Demons. The Williams Lake Stampeders settled for a third-place finish in the tournament — dropping a heartbreaker in the semifinal Friday, 3-1, to the Ice Demons, prior to Saturday’s final. The story of the year, and the story of the tournament, however, was the Steelheads. Coming off its most successful regular season in franchise history, the Steelheads will also be adding another championship banner to the Smithers Civic Center rafters after travelling to the Tamitik Arena in Kitimat for the five-day tournament. It was the team’s first senior men’s ‘AA’ provincial hockey championship in the nine-year-old franchise’s existence. “Coming here to play top notch hockey and we never lost a game ... it’s fantastic,� said Steelheads head coach Tom DeVries. “The guys were excited all week. “It’s not easy to win here. When you get to the final games, it’s just not easy. Even when we’re ahead 3-0, and they score one, panic starts to come into your mind. “They’ve [Smithers] always had a good team but never won, so it’s pretty exciting for them.� The Steelheads finished the regular season with a perfect 18-0 record. They then continued on to compete in the post season with a 24-1 record after winning the SMP Cup

The event is the club’s annual fundraiser. The event kicks off at 6:15 p.m. at the club, located on Mackenzie Avenue. The Throw-AThon requires participants to literally take turns judo throwing one another over an allotted time to the cheers of spectators, parents and peers.

The Smithers Steelheads score the first of three goals Saturday against the Kitimat Ice Demons netminder Jamie Moran en route to a 3-1 win in the Coy Cup senior men’s provincial ‘AA’ hockey final.

“This is my fourth year on the team, and we finally got the monkey off our back.� - Randell Groot for the first time — the Central Interior Hockey League’s playoff trophy. That momentum carried the team to Kitimat where, after three hard-fought periods of hockey, they

came out on top as champions. “This is my fourth year on the team, and we finally got the monkey off our back,� said player Randell Groot. “We’ve been exited in the second round of the playoffs

every time. This year, you know we handily went through with Terrace and then had a good three-game series against Williams Lake, so that gave us confidence. “The playoffs really meant nothing. Everyone’s on the same level come day one here and we were fortunate enough to get up to a first, convincing win over Quesnel and we took it from there. We came back and showed some character and beat Kitimat. “We got the by and then we did it again here and with a 3-1 win I think we did it pretty convincingly.�

Silver showing for Campsall at nationals Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Cariboo Archer and Williams Lake resident Al Campsall took home a silver medal from the Canadian Indoor Target Championships recently. The championships consisted of more than 400 competitors from across Canada. Campsall, who normally competes in 3D archery and is a six-time national champion, said target shooting is a completely different ball game. “For me, I’ve never done a whole lot of target shooting,� he said, add-

SPORTS NOTEBOOK

ing he’s particularly happy with his result. “I shot significantly better [than in the past] at the event, so I was happy. I was a little disappointed with my first round because it was about seven and a half points below my average [score] but my second round was near my average.� At nationals Campsall fired a total score of 588 out of a possible 600. “That means 48 out of 60 of my shots were inside the Toonie-sized 10 [bull’s-eye],� he said. “The shoot involves paper bull’s-eye-type targets shot at 20 yards.� For Campsall, this was his first

podium finish at a Canadian Target Archery Championship. Much of his continued improvement, he suggests, has come from altering his style of shooting last year. While the learning curve was steep, Campsall said it’s beginning to flatten out and the results are showing. “I have a 20-yard range in my basement and I also work on my shooting at the archery club,� he said. “The steps are small for me, as the learning curve seems to have flattened considerably, but I keep improving each week and month.� The event was hosted at various cities across the country where cer-

tified judges and targets were required. Campsall shot his score of 588 in Quesnel. Coming up in two weeks are the Canadian Indoor 3D Championships, being held this year in Fort St. John — the first time the event has been held in B.C. “I’m really excited about that one,� he said. “I finished third last year but I had just started to shoot with that different style. “My shooting right now, because I’ve been doing that type of shooting for more than a year, has improved significantly so I’m hoping for a better output this time than last time.�

Peewee reps drop heartbreaker at provincial opener The Williams Lake Peewee Tier 2 Timberwolves lost a heartbreaker in its opening game against Mission Sunday at the B.C. Peewee Provincial Hockey Champi-

onships in Penticton. Williams Lake jumped out to an early 3-0 lead after one period and were dominating the game before Mission scored two quick goals to open the second. The teams exchanged goals from there until late into the third period when Williams Lake held a 6-5 lead with just minutes left. Mission scored on consecutive power plays to take a 7-6 lead late in the game. Williams Lake then went on a five on three

power play but could not find the twine. The game ended when Mission potted a late goal to make the final score 8-6. Scoring for Williams Lake were Dane DuBois with three goals, while William Paynton, Conley Pinette and Tyler Tenning each added singles. Williams Lake was scheduled to play TrailRossland Monday at 1 p.m. in their second game of the championship round-robin portion of the tournament.

FUNDING FOR STUDENTS, NOT FOR WAGE HIKES. The BCTF is demanding a 15 per cent wage hike and other benefits that would cost $2 billion and raise taxes for BC families. Virtually all other public sector unions have settled for no wage increases. It’s unacceptable that schools are disrupted and that students and their families are inconvenienced over an unreasonable salary demand in difficult economic times. The union is making claims and demands that simply don’t add up.

BCTF CLAIMS AND DEMANDS

FACT

The union wants more paid time outside the classroom – sick leave for teachers on call, expanded bereavement and discretionary leave.

The government wants more time for teacher training and to ensure that Pro-D days really are for professional development.

The union says all teaching positions should be selected on the basis of seniority.

The government supports seniority but qualifications must also count so that math teachers teach math, and science teachers teach science.

The union says that teachers who perform poorly in evaluations will be dismissed – ‘one strike and you’re out’.

The government wants to support teacher improvement through a standardized evaluation process.

The union says that government refuses to negotiate.

There has been over a year of negotiations and 78 full bargaining sessions.

The union says that class size limits have been eliminated.

Class size limits will remain in place on all grades across BC.

The union says that BC has 700 fewer special needs teachers.

2100 new teaching assistants have been hired since 2001. And, with a new $165 million Learning Improvement Fund, we will hire more.

It’s time to focus on what matters most in education – BC’s students. That’s why we are focused on per-student funding which is at an all time high, not on wage increases. We all want to do more to make BC’s education system even better. It’s the driving force behind BC’s Education Plan that teachers, parents and students are helping to shape. Teachers care about their students. Parents care about their children’s future.

Students at Sacred Heart Catholic School day-care and pre-school have a unique playhouse these days. Teachers and students worked together for several weeks to gather and clean 377 milk jugs which teachers used to build the students a replica of an igloo. The igloo is part of activities and stories related to learning about northern Canada.

Discussion on local currency coming up Cody Slinn, Potato House vicepresident and Transition Town member, will give a presentation next week on the concept of creating a local currency for Williams Lake. The presentation will take place Monday, March 26 from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture centre next to city hall. After the presentation he says there will be time to talk about how to turn the dialogue into reality. “Your help, even if only limited to your opinions about the proj-

ect or the needs of your business, would be greatly appreciated,â€? Slinn says in his invitation. “Afterwards, a working group will also be put together for the project, which you will also be welcome to join.â€? The invitation is extended to anyone interested in the idea and in particular farmers, business owners, and tradespeople. He says a local currency has huge potential to increase economic activity among the informal economy of home bakers, casual

labourers, garden-work parties, craft makers, artists, etc. He says local currencies are created with the intention of making small-scale local farming economically viable; increasing local economic activity; making buying local more attractive than buying multi-national; creating local jobs; and facilitating the recreation of local jobs. In order to be as effective as possible, he says a local currency must attract “essentialâ€? service/product businesses as its backbone (food,

clothing, energy, trades, repairs); provide a means of making these services as, or more, attractive than their non-local counterparts; and be well enough promoted and understood to gain ever-increasing support and use from the community at large. Slinn says local currency is not his project, he is simply carrying it until a group of supporters is found. People with questions can contact Slinn by e-mail at codyslinn@ hotmail.com.

2012 Cariboo Festival section schedule set The month of April will be full of local artists performing in various disciplines.

Christian leaders network established Pastor Jeremy Vogt Special to The Tribune Williams Lake has a new organization called the Christian Leaders Network. It has been operating since July 2011 and has participation from a variety of organizations across the city designed to tackle some of the major challenges of our community. Should you be awake and at the Youth For Christ Hotspot early on the last Wednesday of every month, you would find 15 to 20 Christian leaders from all walks of life gathered to pray and discuss how God is working in Williams Lake. They are focusing on God’s solutions to some of the major challenges of our city. The Williams Lake Christian Leaders Network was formed during conversations between Mayor Kerry Cook, Pastor Paul Lomavatu, Cariboo Community Church and myself, Pastor Jeremy Vogt, Cariboo Bethel Church, who is the group’s facilitator. The group is modelled after other Christian Leaders Networks all over North America.

Pastor Jeremy Vogt is president of the Christian Leaders Network established in July 2011. The group meets monthly to work on solutions to community problems. I have heard it said by more than one person that Williams Lake is a small town with big-city challenges. The deeper insight behind that statement is that human communities, no matter what their size, tend to break down in some very common ways. Towns and cities of every size all suffer from the reality of abuse, disintegrated families, violence, gangs, property crimes, suicide, murder, drugs, alcohol abuse and racism.

STORK REPORT

One of the underlying principles that must guide sustainable, successful solutions to community challenges is collaboration. All over the world, communities are addressing real issues of brokenness and disintegration by coming together around a common table, developing action plans that are uniquely tailored to their context. If collaboration works around the world it will also work in beautiful Williams

Miracles, magic and dreams come true cannot describe our joy! Alan and Samantha (Cook) Lamoureux are proud to announce the birth of their baby boy, Gracyn Daniel. He was born in Prince George on Jan. 16, 2012, weighing 2 lbs. 9 oz. and measuring 15.5 inches long.

Lake. In fact, there are people in this city who have operated by this principle of collaboration for a long time. One of the best is Mayor Kerry Cook. For every issue our city faces, it seems our mayor is inviting new combinations of folks to work together. Cook is a shining example of what our city needs most and the fruit of her efforts to draw us all together is already ripening. This kind of community networking is actually one of the inspirations for the formation of this new collaborative group in Williams Lake. The mandate of the Christian Leaders Network is to draw together a broad spectrum of Christian leaders, pastors, service providers, government employees, business people and citizens. The intention is to develop distinctively Christian responses to some of the major challenges that this wonderful city has

struggled with for far too long. The Christian Leaders Network will seek to make unique contributions to the health of our city by drawing on the wisdom and experience of a diverse group of people across our city to tackle major important issues together. For example, watch for details on our first community collaborative effort regarding the awareness and prevention of domestic abuse in April. In Jeremiah 29 God says: “Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” The Christian Leaders Network believes seeking the peace and wholeness of our city and region is a mandate for every Christian. If you have questions about the Christian Leaders Network and how you can be part of it, contact me at jeremy@cariboobethel.com.

Three young bands perform for cancer society Three hip young lakecity bands are coming together for a concert this Saturday to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. Dynamic Downfall drummer Bob Favell says the bands have all been touched in some way by cancer. “My grandma and great grandma died from breast cancer and it’s all

something we believe strongly in helping so when I asked the band if they were up for giving the money to cancer they were all for it,” Favell says. Dynamic Downfall is a hard rocking group of youth who have been playing together for about three years now and were recently invited to a demo recording ses-

sion at the UBC Okanagan campus in Kelowna, Favell says. In addition to Favell on drums the band includes singer Nathan Mortimer, Colton Douglas on guitar and Nick Carrier on bass. The bands Calling April and Larry Don’t Pull That Leaver will be opening for Dynamic Downfall.

Garry Kirstiuk 1950 ~ 2012 It is with great love and sadness that we announce the passing of our father, brother, grandfather and friend, Garry Kirstiuk at the age of 62 years. He was predeceased by his much loved wife, Sharon, and his parents Kris and Peggy. He is survived by his 3 children Daniel, Alexandra (Kevin Dueck) and Jonathan (Courtney) and three grandsons: Kona, Kaydan and Ethan. Garry is also survived by his brother Rick, sister Pam, and many cousins, aunts and uncles. Garry was born on January 10, 1950 in North Vancouver as the first of three children. In 1974, Garry and Sharon moved to Williams Lake to start his career in Dentistry. He soon became very engaged in the community becoming much loved and respected. Garry’s love of God and music saw him involved in church worship at Cariboo Bethel Church, performing with Cariboo Gold Band, and many jazz ensembles. Garry also had a great fondness for the outdoors where he partook in several activities including fishing, hunting, swimming, skiing, and gardening. Loved by many, Garry was an inspiration for his disciplined approach to life. He served man and God whenever he was in a position to do so, charitably serving others without any recognition needed. Garry demonstrated his generosity by taking each of his children on mission trips with YWAM Mercy Ships. Garry will be missed by all.

In Memory of Max K. Searls

June 2, 1933 - March 10, 2012 Max was born in Kelso, Washington and grew up in Toutle trapping, playing sports and roaming Mount St. Helens. In 1949, at the age of 16, he bought 160 acres in Canada and dreamed of the day he could move there. After graduating he served his country in Korea for two years and came home to marry Viola McVey, the love of his life. Son Mike came along in 1956 followed closely by Max Jr. and Jack, finally after 22 years working for Weyerhauser, and a brand new baby girl named Debbie, the family moved to Canada to homestead that 160 acres. Max trapped, logged and raised sheep for years, then decided to buy his first guide area, thus entering a new phase of his life. In 1988, Max, Viola and Debbie moved to McLeese Lake to be close to the guide area. When he retired, he was introduced to the fine art of knife building by his friend Marty Beets, turning out beautiful hunting knives. Some of these knives ended up in several European countries as well as Mexico and the U.S. Max lived the life he dreamed of as a kid, making many excellent friends along the way, and always accompanied by at least one good dog. He was an excellent husband and a wonderful father and friend. Max died of Leukemia at home surrounded by love. He was predeceased by his parents Barbra & Paul Searls and sister Lois Cooper. Survived by brother Mitch Searls and many nieces and nephews in Washington & other parts of the states, as well as sister and brother in-laws; Pat & Dave Hynning, Doris Claypool, Pete & Pattie McVey, and Guy & Ethel McVey. Left to carry on in Canada are his loving wife of 56 years Viola, sons: Mike (Susie), Max Jr. (Jackie) and Jack (Terri) as well as daughter Deb and #1 son-in-law Ken, 13 grandchildren & their spouses, and 4 great grandchildren. There will be no service but anyone wishing to make a donation in Max’s memory can do so to “Mixed Up Mutts”, his granddaughter Mandy’s non-profit dog rescue.
