Chiefs lobby BC Lions roar with lakecity youth in Ottawa against mine Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Tsilhqot’in National Government chair and Tl’etinqox Chief Joe Alphonse and other First Nations leaders are in Ottawa lobbying against Taseko Mines Ltd. and its proposed New Prosperity Mine. “We just finished meeting with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada,” Alphonse told the Tribune Wednesday. “This project has gone through an assessment already and been rejected. The process should be tightened up and made tougher for the company to reapply,” Alphonse said, adding the TNG is prepared to go back to court to protect its interests.

City to see three per cent tax revenue hike Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer It looks like Williams Lake taxpayers can expect a three per cent general tax increase in 2012. At Tuesday evening’s city council meeting, council gave the first three readings to its five-year-financial plan, which would see a three per cent increase each year from 2012 to 2016 — each year the budget and taxes are decided, however, so it doesn’t necessarily mean there will be a three per cent increase in 20132016. The next debate will be around how the tax ratio will be allocated. In the public budget meeting held before the council meeting, council voted to investigate an industrial tax shift to other property classes.
Coun. Ivan Bonnell asked what the mythical average would be determined with the tax shift, but heard the the city wouldn’t know that until it determines the actual percentage of the tax shift. In seconding the motion to make the shift Cook stated said the city has to begin to make changes. “Because we have the second highest industrial tax rate in the province, it doesn’t help us. The question isn’t whether industry is paying its fair share, the question should be where are we going to be in 10 or 20 years,” Cook said, adding if changes aren’t made now, the city could be in more of a situation down the road. Even if it’s a small shift, the mayor said she thinks it will be symbolic. The three per cent general tax increase is a reduction from the origi-
nal 2010 five-year-financial plan that called for a five per cent increase each year, reminded Cook. “It’s not easy to come up with these decisions, but we’re trying to balance the future needs and the current needs of the community. Tough decisions had to be made,” Cook said. Councillors Surinderpal Rathor and Ivan Bonnell voted against the five-year-financial plan. Both councillors have voiced a wish throughout the budget process that they didn’t want to see any increase. While he said he appreciated staff for working hard to make reductions to the budget, Rathor added he has not heard from one resident that increasing taxes is the way to go. “We should have cut back more.
Everything is going up — hydro, natural gas, and insurance premiums,” Rathor said. Rathor suggested that the other members of council had gone into the process determined to see a three per cent tax increase, but Coun. Geoff Bourdon replied that Rathor was the only one who entered the process saying he would accept no tax increase. See BUDGET Page A2

Budget challenges include $2M loss in industrial taxation Continued From Page A1 “To me you talk about making a decision, but I don’t quite understand how you go about saying that the rest of council went in with their minds made up,� Bourdon said. Rathor countered if there’s a will there’s a way, and insisted he didn’t agree that the goal of a no tax increase couldn’t have been achieved. Bonnell told council he’s holding his comments for the final reading and adoption of the five-year plan, budget bylaw and the tax-rate
bylaw at upcoming meetings. He did say, however, the he won’t be supporting any of those documents. Chief financial officer Pat Higgins outlined the challenges faced by the city going into 2012, including a $2 million dollar loss in industrial taxation, and a subsequent $100,000 loss due to appeals. Paving requirements total $1.4 million to complete and maintain roads, while an eight per cent rise in policing costs to $303,480 for accommodation and contract increases. Higgins said council and staff resolved over
the budget process that there would be no significant increases in the cost of services, no increase in sewer or water rates, and the general operating budget has been reduced by 1.2 per cent in overall costs. The operating budget was decreased by $282,410 and staff training and development by $54,660. In addition to the rise of RCMP costs, there will be $122,000 put into the Business Expansion Strategy, and the transit budget will increase by $50,000, in order to increase HandyDART services by 12 hours a week,
after the Seniors Advisory Council advocated for extended service. “We’re hoping to share the cost of the HandyDART service with BC Transit,� Higgins said. Throughout the public budget meetings, council unanimously endorsed putting $200,000 away each year for a new pavement reserve and $350,000 each year for a capital reserve. “With those capital
contributions we will be able to fund the South Lakeside Drive project, [deferred for 2013] through the transfer of reserves and other funds, without having to borrow money,� Higgins explained. Cook admitted it hadn’t been an easy process, but that’s part of the democratic process and she appreciated the fact that some councillors made it very clear that they didn’t want to see an increase.

City embraces social media tools Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The City of Williams Lake has stepped up to include short videos on Youtube to share information, said manager of communications Ken MacInnis during a presentation to city council Tuesday. Some of the videos posted to date include the inaugural speeches, council’s Christmas greeting, Heritage Week, a reminder about dog licenses, and the Rick Hansen Man in Motion Anniversary tour. Veering from simply filming presentations, MacInnis and city staff have embarked on creating some videos of their own. One of those is a video reminding residents to put their garbage and recycling cans out in the morning. “We think it’s very effective for public education to explain bylaws and those types of things. It’s a lot easier to see it happen than read it in a brochure,” MacInnis suggested. Coupled with the city’s website is the city’s presence on Facebook with 71 people following, and Twitter with 105 followers. In addition, MacInnis regularly sends city and council information to 180 e-mail recipients. When it comes to Twitter, MacInnis said there are followers from all over the province, including media,
www.wltribune.com A3
citizens, tourism associations, and two MLAs. “Very few municipalities our size have a social-media presence at all, many cities don’t have anything, and some just have Facebook, so we’re actually ahead of the curve when it comes to social media,” MacInnis told council. One of the great things with social media, he added, is the ability to share from one social medium to the next. “As soon as you upload a video you can post a feed on Twitter, so it’s great for quick updates.” People are welcome to comment on the city’s social media tools, but are asked not to make service requests — those have to go directly to city hall. Coun. Geoff Bourdon asked if future plans are in the works to involve public input tools. “If we say we’re looking at adopting this budget then we can ask the public yes or no and we’ll get a yes or a no,” Bourdon said. MacInnis responded the city has used survey monkey a number of times for public input and used social media to receive public input on the budget process. Mayor Kerry Cook thanked MacInnis for the report and said it shows the city is trying a wide variety of ways to reach out to the public.

Gibraltar to live on for 27 years Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer When Taseko Mines Ltd. acquired Gibraltar Mine in 1999, it was closed. Opened in 1972, with an anticipated mine life of 22 years, the mine operated for 26 years. In 1998 people had given up on the mine, says Taseko’s vice president of corporate affairs Brian Battison. “She was old, tired and worn out and no longer profitable. The plan was to bulldoze her, but in 1999, Ron Dickinson and Ron Thiessen recognized the value of the deposit and the value of the infrastructure at Gibraltar and Taseko bought her, a place to run care and maintenance,” Battison told the crowd gathered at the Williams Lake & District Chamber of Commerce luncheon on March 29. The company saw value, when the world view was to shut it down and reclaim it, Battison suggests. For five years, and at a cost of $10 million, the mine lay in what he likened to a “self-induced
coma” with 10 employees monitoring its “vital signs.” In 2004, the company crossed its fingers and restarted the mine with a 40-month mining plan. “We grew from 10 employees to 280. Since first breathing life back into Gibraltar, we have invested heavily in her. Such is the measure of our confidence in the deposit, our people, and in this community,” Battison says. By the end of 2012, Taseko will have invested $700 million in new state-of-the-art mining and building equipment in six years. All of the original 1970 vintage core parts and appendages have been replaced and the capacity to produce doubled. Battison said Gibraltar has been transformed into a “leading edge” mining facility. “Right now today up at Gibraltar we are right in the middle of Gibraltar Development Plan 3. A $325 million construction program that will more than double production capacity to 180 million pounds of
copper every year, “ Battison explains. This summer, the construction work force required for the expansion will peak at 270 people, which means there will be 770 people working there in the summer. Upon completion, he adds, there will be 150 permanent new jobs staying on. Gibraltar is the lowest grade copper mine in the world, Battison says, adding that mining people from other countries visit to see how the company operates and how it turns a profit with such low-grade material. “Frankly it’s not easy,” Battison admits, but credits the company’s success to employees like general manager Ross MacLean, his “highly skilled” engineering staff and more than 500 employees, who he says are all Canadian and mostly British Columbians who call Williams Lake and the Cariboo home. While there are different definitions for sustainability, Battison suggests what’s happened over the years at Gibraltar represents true
sustainability. “Built in the 1970s, with a projected operating life of 21 years, operating for 26 years, and reopening after five years, new investment and commitment has transformed her.” Taseko recently commissioned a report that estimates the economic impact of Gibraltar has resulted in $1.2 billion in total mine revenue and $979 million in gross domestic product generated from the profits. According to the report, consumer spending has increased by $576 million because of Gibraltar, residential investment in the province has increased by $174 million, non residential investment is $520 million higher and the federal government has received $408 million in additional revenues, while the provincial government has received $371 million. Battison says the current projected mine life of Gibraltar is another 27 years, which means that Gibraltar’s total operating mine life, past and future, will be in excess of 60 years.

Panel needs local gov’t representation: letter Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake city council is joining other local governments in the province when it comes to asking for local government representation on the provincial government’s expert panel reviewing municipal business taxation. The city received a letter from the mayor of Coquitlam asking that
it endorse the request. On Jan. 10 finance minister Kevin Falcon appointed the expert panel’s members to the expert panel. In a report to council, chief administrative officer Brian Carruthers said the panel is comprised of individuals with a range of backgrounds in business and academics. “There are no local government representatives appointed to the
panel. The Union of BC Municipalities has requested an opportunity to make a presentation to the expert panel and has committed to monitoring the work of the expert panel on behalf of the membership,” Carruthers said, adding that a number of municipalities are adopting a resolution calling for the province to appoint a member of local government to the panel.

Money cut from budget
I
attended the sold-out TRU Gala last weekend, and it was an incredible event. This is a great show of support for Williams Lake’s university, and a successful fundraiser for local scholarships and bursaries. From the Hats off Mayor’s to Brian Chair Garland and the Kerry Cook TRU Grit group and gala co-chairs David Hall and Betty Turatus. I look forward to this new annual event. I want to congratulate safer communities coordinator Dave Dickson, who is one of 34 British Columbians to receive a 2012 B.C. Community Achievement Award. Dave has been instrumental in helping to reduce crime, encouraging volunteerism, and he is a true example to us all. This award is very well deserved. And congratulations to Amy Penny, a city lifeguard/instructor and graduating high school student, who has just earned a scholarship from the Lifesaving Society. I’ve known Penny for a long time, and it’s no surprise the Lifesaving Society’s scholarship committee found her to be its strongest applicant this year. Penny has consistently been a top academic achiever and a well-rounded and motivated student. Brian Battison of Taseko Mines was the guest speaker at last week’s Chamber of Commerce luncheon, and gave us an update on New Prosperity and Gibraltar. He showed a video on the importance of mining, and I encourage everyone to take a look at it on Taseko’s Facebook page. The budget process is wrapping up, with council giving the first three readings to the five-year financial plan Tuesday night. We cut $350,000 from the operating budgets, which help offset $253,000 in increases from the province for our RCMP detachment. We also cut $1.76 million from the capital budget, which helps position us to take on the $2 million project to improve South Lakeside Drive next year without any long-term borrowing. There will also be no increase to water or sewer rates in 2012. The tax revenue increase is 3 per cent, but that does not mean a 3 per cent increase to all taxpayers. Tax rates and distribution are next on the budget agenda. Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake

Our Viewpoint
Lead by example Last week the federal Conservative decided to move the eligibility to receive Old Age Security (OAS) from 65 to 67 years. According to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF), it works out to about $6,000 savings for the federal government’s coffers. Immediately, seniors advocacy groups screamed bloody blue murder about what this loss of revenue will mean for the seniors who are living in poverty already, as well as those who will join them in the next decade or so. It’s not going to be any better for the folks who are currently between 25 and 54 years old, as a Harris Decima report forecasts 32 per cent of that group will be relying on OAS, and the Canadian Pension Plan (CCP) as their primary source of retirement income. It becomes obvious that, as the baby boomers retire, there is going to be a tremendous stress on the OAS and CPP payouts. However, it is these same people who have worked hard all their lives and contributed significantly because they were told the system would give them security in their old age. Now, they are being forced to sacrifice even more
because they have wait longer to dip into the OAS because some fat cats in Ottawa decided it had to be done for the long-term sustainability of the system. They are unhappy and what sticks in their craws is the fact there was no mention in the budget about clawing back the MPs’ gold-plated pensions. This is the pension plan we contribute more than $23 for every dollar an MP puts into the Parliamentary Pension Plan. According to the CTF, we paid $102 million towards this handsome retirement plan for the MPs and Senators, while they contributed $4.4 million. Apparently, the MPs figure this is reasonable for all of the hard work they do representing us in Ottawa – or is that the other way around? So while they look at sustaining OAS by nipping Canadians for up to $500 a month, a recently defeated MP with seven years of service is raking in more than $2,700 a month from his pension plan. The CTF states Mr. Harper’s annual pension if he retires at the end of this term, would be $223,000 a year. Maybe these MPs need to start leading by example, and if not, we need to send them packing. — Ken Alexander

hile it’s still very much a privilege for me to be Cariboo North’s voice in the legislature when it’s sitting, it’s always a great pleasure to have time in the riding to be able to visit the various communities I was elected to repreMLA sent. Musings DurBob Simpson ing the spring break week in March, Vicki Huntington (the other Independent MLA) and I toured the Peace River region to explore the issues associated with the rapid expansion of the oil and gas industry as well as the proposed Site C dam. It was an exhausting week, with long days of meetings and site visits, but it was worth it to see for ourselves what’s working and what’s not in that region. I blogged each day during the trip and you can read my impressions on my web page (www. bobsimpsonmla.ca). During this two-week Easter break I’ll be focused on getting around the riding and will host town halls in Wells at the community hall on April 4, in Quesnel on April 11 at the Seniors’ Centre, and in Horsefly at the Community Hall on April 12. All of the town halls will start at 7 p.m. and I’m hoping lots of people will come out and share their interests and concerns with me so I can better represent this region. I’ll also be attending a forest licensee community meeting in Nazko designed to update that community on the logging plans for that region over the next few years. In between these community meetings I’ll be catching up on constituent phone calls and meetings and planning two major seniors’ care forums for May in Williams Lake and Quesnel. I’m also hoping to take a few days to spend with my family over the Easter long weekend, as time spent representing you in Victoria also means time away from them. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

More Viewpoints Get rid of the HST already Question of the week Editor:  Open letter to MLA Donna Barnett and the B.C. Liberal party: I just came home from having to make a major purchase on an appliance for my home and yes, there it was at the end of the deal, still the unlawful and dreaded HST. Twice the people of this province have told this ignorant government that we don’t want this HST and they continue to ignore us all.
Are all Liberals just plain dumb? Every day you fall in the polls and you continue to steal money from the voters of this province. We all know what the Liberal game is and that is they will be defeated in 2013 anyway so they will just leave everything in their slop pail for the NDP to clean up and then they can sit back and blame them for all the province’s woes. It won’t work this time. Christy, you are toast, but if you really wanted to have a families-first promise
that you made immediately get rid of the HST and open an investigation into the B.C. Rail scandal. Get a grip on BC Hydro and stop ripping us off with the dumb smart meters that aren’t working, and lastly send every taxpayer in the province a cheque for at least $2,500 for the tax money, a.k.a HST that has been stolen from us for the past four years.  Wilfred D.

Cattle Fodder Liz Twan the customer feedback has been positive thus far (Meating-place. com/4/2/2012). It sure would seem to remove the guess work from the shopping exercise, particularly for ground beef products. Nilsson thought the value of the label increased after the beef package left the supermarket. An example: a customer purchases a beef product with the intent to cook it the same evening, then their plans change and by the third or fourth day of home-refrigeration are unsure if it’s safe to consume. If it had

This week’s online question:
Are you going away for Easter?
Fancy labels improve meat safety onders never cease, and our world is a clever place where wondrous innovations that begin in the minds of dreamers, visionaries, inventors and innovators quickly advance from a vague concept to a reality. In all sectors of the marketplace, one must take advantage of these new ideas to stay current in the world marketplace and in Connecticut, Geissier’s Supermarkets are leaping ahead, testing temperature/ time-sensitive labels on chilled beef packets in a pilot program with a German manufacturer, BASF. The label, known as an OnVu label, changes colour to indicate when a product is no longer safe to eat. The store’s meat buyer, Ryan Nilsson (meat buyer and fourth generation grocer in his family operation — Geissler’s Supermarkets), says
?
What do you think of Canada losing its penny?
an OnVu label, the sticker would tell you. “On the label there is a dark blue ink applied using UV rays. Over time it will turn grey and fade away, or if there has been some temperature abuse and the package goes above 40 degrees F for an extended time, it is no longer good to eat, if it reaches 40 degrees and goes right back down, it is still good.� The ink is gauged to know the difference (darn clever ink — I think) and seems better equipped than I (my sniffer-tool has lost some sensitivity) to ensure product-safety. P.S. Happy Easter! Note — April 15 is the deadline for early bird BCCA-AGM registration and submitting applications for BCCA scholarships.

Lions send positive message to students Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer BC Lions all-star offensive lineman Angus Reid is used to bashing people around on the football field. It’s his job. On Monday at Williams Lake secondary and Wednesday at Columneetza secondary, however, Reid and B.C. Lions quarterback and 2011 CFL player of the year Travis Lulay shared a distinctly different message than what their occupations might stereotypically reflect of their characters. “Being football players we’re a good model to say hey, as big, strong men we have a stereotype of who we are and we’re sitting here saying it’s time to put a stop to the problems with violence against women and more directly about having men starting to stand up and say something about it,� Reid told the Tribune Monday, just prior to speaking to students at WLSS about that very same message. The BC Lions were at local schools this week in Williams Lake speaking as part of the Be More than a Bystander program, as well as the FortisBC Energy Champions initiative. The Energy Champions presentations, conducted by players Jon Hameister-Ries, Jason Arakgi and Sean McGarva, aimed at elementary students from Mountview elementary and Glendale elementary, emphasized the importance of environmental responsibility. Lulay and Reid conducted both high school Be More Than a Bystander presentations — an initiative between Ending Violence Association BC (EVA), the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development and Encana Corporation. Lulay stressed to the students the importance of being “more than a bystander,� and becoming leaders — a role he’s quite familiar with as the Leos’ starting quarterback. “How many of you guys have a woman in your life who means something to you? Everyone, right?� he asked the students. “For so long violence against women has been looked at as an issue that women have had to deal with. We’re here to promote leaders and to promote a culture that’s bigger than that. “This stuff was so eye opening to us, so cool, we all jumped at the opportunity to be a male voice, because there’s not a ton of them in this field promoting these ideas. We need more men to speak up against vio-

lence against women.� Lulay and Reid then went over some startling statistics. “In B.C. alone there are more than 1,000 physical or sexual assaults against women every single week,� Reid said. “Think about that number. That’s scary. There are 52 weeks in a year — that’s a lot of problems.� Both athletes encouraged the students to do something about violence — physical and emotional — being committed against girls at their school, and to do the same in their day-to-day lives. “Leadership takes smart decision making, accountability and courage, and it’s not always easy,� Reid said. “We’re trying to create a school, a community, a province, a country, a world where we help each other.�
Are you ready to rodeo? Dust off those cowboy hats and polish your boots, spring is here and with it comes the 22nd annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo April 20, 21, 22.

Stop by the rodeo office in the upper level of the Boitanio mall to pick up your rodeo tickets, barn dance tickets, raffle tickets, and check out the merchandise.
Following the presentation at WLSS the school’s Go-To Team, tasked with being leaders at the school, spent an up-close-and-personal, one-hour session with the Lions further discussing the issue. Several Grade 12 students told the Tribune both presentations were an eye-opening experience, and added they were thrilled to have the Lions at their school. “I thought the presentation was really good,� said Jordan Schofield, also a Go-To Team member. “Before I didn’t really know anything about woman abuse, or cat calling, or anything like that. I thought it was wrong before but it’s pretty enlightening.� Schofield’s peer and Go-To Team member Robyn Ferguson added the statistics presented were startling.
“They were really eye opening,� Ferguson said. “When you think about abuse you think more about physical abuse but then you realize things like cat calling, making small jokes about what girls are wearing, that kind of thing, can hurt. It made us more aware.� Go-To Team leader and WLSS counsellor Mike Levitt added the presentation couldn’t have come from a better source. “I think it ties in perfectly with what we’re doing here at the school,� he said. “We’re an anti-bullying group and for those guys — the most bravado, macho, professional guys to say it’s OK to stand up for women, that’s probably the most brilliant way the message can come across.�

Former lakecity resident London-bound Tim Rees considers himself a pretty regular guy — a husband to his wife, Aya, and a father to their two sons, one four years old and another 18 months. This summer, however, when Rees laces up his judo gi and steps foot on the mat at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London, that regularity will fade. He’ll be competing among the top visuallyimpaired judo athletes in the world. Rees, 31, is a former member of the Williams Lake Blue Fins and spent most of his childhood in Williams Lake. His family moved to Williams Lake when he was six years old where his parents, Walter and Kathy, still live. Currently ranked eighth in the world in judo, Rees said his first experience with martial arts came as a teenager in Williams Lake. “I played soccer, did swimming and also downhill skiing,” Rees said. “In my mid teens, around 15, there was a jiu jitsu club in Williams Lake that I joined and that was my first go with grappling.” Following his graduation from Columneetza secondary Rees moved on to the University of British Columbia where he completed an undergraduate degree in engineering physics and a masters degree in computer science. “When I moved to university I did another martial art called Sambo, and then in my second year of university I started judo in 1999,” he said. All the while, however, Rees was battling a condition called Stargardt disease — an inherited macular degeneration that causes progressive vision loss in youth. Rees explained he’s not completely blind and does have some peripheral vision, and can also read through the use of a magnification device. “My eyesight has been deteriorating noticeably since my late teens,” he
said. “By around late 2003 I was declared legally blind, but I’d already given up driving a car before then.” Rees said instead of getting down on himself, he started to push harder. He went on to complete a PhD in applied mathematics at the University of Waterloo, and began setting goals to compete for Canada’s Paralympic judo team. Rees now works at the University of Victoria’s School of Earth and Sciences studying atmospheric processes, particularly waves and turbulence in the lower atmosphere. “I wasn’t as disappointed as some people might think,” he said. “I knew my eyesight was bad, so it wasn’t a giant shock. I knew it was getting worse ... It’s not such a huge deal — there’s certainly worse things that can happen to you and I’ve stayed positive. “Judo is a sport where having bad eyes is not that big of a problem,” he said, and noted the sport consists of mostly grappling, throwing and submission. “The competition for the visually impaired and the able bodied are almost identical. The only difference is how they start — where we start in a grip position. “It’s quite a good sport. As long as the people who I’m working out with are aware of it there’s no real extra danger and I’m not at too much of a disadvantage.” To earn his spot on the Canadian judo team Rees finished seventh at the 2010 world championships, fifth at the 2011 world championships and third at the Pan Am Games in Mexico in November. He currently trains at the Victoria Judo Club three to four times a week with one or two sessions focusing on technique and the others focusing on combat. Rees will compete in the 100-kilogram weight class at the Games. “It’s exciting to get to go there [to the Games] and I’m looking forward

to it,” Rees said. “I think I can win a medal and I hope I can meet my expectations.
I’m honoured to get the chance to do it. “I’m pretty patriotic and I like this country so
I’m happy to wear a Canadian jacket and hopefully bring home a medal for Canada.”

May Rotary Exhibition a showcase for local business Cameron Johnston Special to The Tribune This year’s Rotary Exhibition is the weekend of May 4-6 at the Cariboo Memorial Complex. Here is a great opportunity for business and service organizations to showcase their products and services to Williams Lake and area. “Sales of booth space are brisk, so reserve your place now so not to miss out on this tremendous opportunity.� says Rotary exhibition chair Mike Austin.
“It was an incredible marketing event for us for a reasonable price,� says Uli Wittal, the lakecity’s M&M Meat Shops owner. “The exposure it gave us was phenomenal as we were able to connect with so many people oneon-one. We are definitely looking forward to doing it again this year.� “Once again the Rotary Club of Williams Lake is presenting an excellent opportunity for businesses to display their services, product and concepts at the Rotary Exhibition,� says club president Glen
Holling. “We have made a change to the show this year by focusing more on exhibiting products and services and making the setup easier. “Last year we received many testimonials and ideas from exhibitors that will improve the exhibition for this year. The Rotary Club uses this event to help fund projects that make lives easier in Williams Lake and surrounding areas. “Over the next year we will be allocating funds toward literacy projects and city public areas. It is only thanks to the support we
receive every year from Williams Lake businesses and residents that lets us provide all the work and service we give to our community.� Exhibitors can reserve a booth space by calling Mike at 250-3982222 or Cory at 250-398-8100 or e-mail mike.austin@firstbc.com.

Changing the Dream symposium celebrates Earth Day Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake is hosting a unique opportunity to explore local issues of social justice and environmental sustainability on April 21, the day before Earth Day. The Awakening the Dreamer; Changing the Dream Symposium is a video symposium developed by the Pachamama Alliance as a tool for helping communities explore environmental sustainability, social justice and spiritual fulfillment in the face of pressing global socioeconomic and environmental crises, says Jay Goddard, TRU’s human service programs co-ordinator. “The symposium confronts the current state of the world, examines how we got here and most importantly looks at possible futures and
COMMUNITY NOTEBOOK
how we can begin to work to create a sustainable and socially just future,� Goddard says. “To be sure, the film and discussion presents a frank and realistic picture of the current state of the world.� He says the event began when faculty at TRU, members of the local Conservation Society, the Food Policy Council and concerned local citizens came together to view the film portion of the symposium and felt there was need to catalyze the local community around these important issues. Committee members who have watched it and participated in the symposium have said it is an excellent tool for sharpening awareness and moving people on to action, he says. Because the ultimate goal of the
symposium is to foster greater involvement and engagement with social and environmental issues, this event is paired with an afternoon sustainability forum where local environmental and social organizations and local and regional experts will hold discussions and share information about projects and local issues. Participants will be invited to learn more about how they can become involved in supporting local initiatives, learn to be green consumers, create greater awareness, influence decision makers and feel empowered to begin to work towards change. One of the invited speakers is Tom Owen, Thompson Rivers University’s director of sustainability, who will speak about
ways that people can begin to take steps to influence change at the local and global level. The day will culminate with an evening of entertainment and a dance featuring a performance by the Drum & Bell Tower. The public is invited to participate in any or all of the events. The evening dance and entertainment extravaganza will begin at 6:30 with an admission of $10. For more information contact Jay Goddard, jgoddard@tru.ca. or Lisa Bland, Â lisa@changingthedream. ca. Organizations wishing to set up a display or host a discussion can contact Traci Lisetto at tlisetto@ tru.ca. The event has a website as well: www.changingthedream.ca.

Families Fighting Cancer fundraiser Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Several lakecity women are coming together to host a Families Fighting Cancer dinner, dance and silent auction at the Elks Hall on Saturday, April 28. Corry Williams and her daughter Samantha Genereux say all proceeds from the dance will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. The two women decided to host the dance in support of Corry’s sister-in-law who is battling cancer for the fourth time. Corry says she has been accompanying her sister-in-law each week to her chemotherapy treatments. “Every time we go to the hospital someone new is fighting cancer,” Corry says.

Samantha Genereux is helping her mom Corry Williams to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society by organizing a dinner, dance and auction on April 28. “My eyes were totally opened to how rampant cancer is just in our community alone.” Samantha adds: “When I was younger I knew the odd person with cancer but now it seems everyone knows someone who is touched
by cancer.” Corry says she planned to have her own head shaved in support of her sister-in-law which is how the idea of a fundraiser was hatched. “I was going to shave my head to support her, but my husband sug-
engagement
gested that if I was going to do it we should make some money for the cancer society,” Corry says. Samantha says she would have shaved her head too but she has enough on her plate with the due date of her baby coming right about dance time. Stylist Gloria Matschke will do the head shaving, Corry says, adding, “We are hoping others will join in having their heads shaved too.” So far she says Cody Woods and her son Mason Hutchins have also volunteered to have their heads shaved. If people have uncoloured hair with more than seven inches in length available they can also have the hair saved to be made into a wig for a cancer patient. Tickets are $40 for adults and by donation for children under age 10. She says they have also arranged for safe rides home for people within city limits. CJ’s Southwestern Grill will be catering the event and the menu will be a buffet of baron of beef, herb chicken, and
a vegetarian lasagna for the main course with vegetables, salads and dessert. Brooke Paquette will be the DJ. She says lots of interesting silent auction items are coming in from local individuals and businesses and so far one large donation. Anyone who would like to volunteer for the event, donate something for the auction or join the head shaving pledge gathering can contact Corry at 250-267-6188 during the day or by email at creativelogging@ telus.net. Corry says there will also be information on the Canadian Cancer Society website about the Families Fighting Cancer event and they will also be creating a Facebook page about the event. She says her father James Sutherland, who now lives in Arizona, has already sold six tickets in support of the event. She says her whole family including husband Darren and their five children Samantha, 26, Gaige, 22, Taylor, 20, Mason, 16, and Makayla, 10, will supporting the fundraiser.

Walk for Autism Awareness April 15 The Williams Lake Autism Support Group will host its fourth Autism Awareness Event and third Walk for Autism Awareness Sunday, April 15. This event is to gain community awareness and acceptance not just for autism but for all disabilities, says Florence Gonyer, one of the local support group members. “We want to raise awareness for our kids and families that everyone’s differences should be accepted,” Gonyer says. The support group catch phrase is “You
don’t have to be autistic to be different, everyone is different,” and that is what is important. “So many children are having troubles in school and with peer groups by being singled out for their differences, but why not celebrate them? Why not accept that by being different? It makes the world a more diverse and interesting place,” Gonyer says. “If we were all the same, what a boring world this would be,” says Gonyer, who is a parent of a child with high functioning autism and a support worker for

aboriginal children with disabilities. Her hopes are that bringing awareness to the community will help people to see that not all disabilities are visible and that many are very difficult to recognize unless you have spent time with that person or observed them in a some sort of a social setting. She is concerned that some kids with autism are unfairly labeled as being deliberately difficult. “By having more people in the community embracing the differences and working as a team, we
“But don’t think it is all work. Children with disabilities have really interesting outlooks on life and really have a lot of insight and a lot to offer, if society would just see past what “should be” or is “normal.” The walk will take place at the Child Development Center on Second Avenue April 15 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. For information on Williams Lake Autism and Other Related Disabilities Support Group contact Florence Gonyer at ascd_ccma@live.ca or Leah Volkman at sldmdvol@telus.net.

A little support goes a long way for us parents, just to know that we aren’t alone and that you also want to see change and embrace challenges. “You know from a parent’s perspective, I would have had my son anyway, but the way he is, it makes you have to change your way of thinking and find new angles of dealing with situations.

Lynn Capling talks to the Williams Lake Brownie troupe about moon rocks in an education session held recently at the Scout Island Nature Centre.
Brownies star-gaze with astronomy leaders Liz Young Special to The Tribune The Williams Lake Brownie troupe had an eventful evening at Scout Island recently where they were honoured to have speakers Lynn and Steve Capling lead a session on astronomy.
The girls are working on their Reach for the Stars key and their Exploring Space badge. Throughout the evening the girls learned about planets, stars and our relationship to the sun through demonstrations, games and photos.
A special treat was the opportunity to hit the roof with the guidance of Steve Capling to view our night sky through a telescope. For days the forecast called for cloud cover but it cleared up in the last few hours for the girls to be able to view the moon, Venus,
Mars, and Jupiter with its four moons. The Brownies, leaders and parents were all extremely impressed with the presentation put on by the Caplings. I think they were quite shocked to receive the honorary “Grand Howl” at night’s end.

“They call the Cariboo home” Mountie Moe Monita retires after 37 years Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Looking back at his 37-year career with the RCMP retired sergeant Moe Monita says he had a good time. Monita, who retired in March, doesn’t hesitate to say his was a fantastic career. Something he’d do again in a heartbeat. Back in 1974, after eight months of working as a land surveyor, Monita decided he was bored. “I couldn’t see myself doing that kind of work. I’d go up north and do a survey and a lot of guys would go with me, usually four or five in a crew. They’d have young families, be gone four or five days at a time, and I didn’t like that. I thought it’d be tough,” he recalls. The decision to sign up for the RCMP emerged one evening over a couple of beers in Winnipeg, when he and a friend got talking and resolved on Monday morning they’d go in and join up. “We went down and applied and three months later I was in Regina. It was that quick. “I got through it. It took six months. It was quite a challenge mentally and physically, but they prepare you so well for things on the outside and the inside. It was amazing.” His first posting was in Nanaimo where he spent eight years. He arrived there in November 1974 and describes it as a very good place to begin his career. “I enjoyed it there. I did uniformed general duties, but one year worked with composite drawing. People would describe what they’d seen as a suspect and I’d draw it out. I did that for a year or so and the RCMP said that to be in that section I had to be part of the Forensic Identification Unit.” The FIS dealt with fingerprints, physical matchings, hair, blood, and fibre, receiving and taking samples from crime scenes, and photographing crime scenes. He joined the FIS and went to Ottawa in January 1981 and took a two-month course that dealt with

Sgt. Moe Monita has retired after 37 years with the RCMP. forensics. “It’s probably the most difficult course offered by the RCMP. It’s so precise.” After working as an apprentice for one year, he was assigned to work in Cranbrook, arriving in March 1981, and took a one-year understudy program in forensics. He passed successfully and spent another five and a half years in Cranbrook, years he describes as “great” with “fabulous” people. It’s beautiful country, he says, adding he goes back there every year to hunt elk and visit good friends. In July 1987, he was transferred to Williams Lake to take up a position, making him half the forensic section. He and Jim Percival covered a huge territory — from 70 Mile House to McLeese Lake, and west to Bella Coola. “There was a lot more serious scenarios and crime than in Cranbrook and Nanaimo. You had more stabbings, shootings and violent crimes in this area. Cranbrook was actually quite slow and boring. I came up here and it was the opposite.” Today the department has grown to a three-person section, and it also looks after Quesnel and Hixon, he adds.
It is still a busy place for the police, he says, but things have slowed down since the early days. Monita believes policing strategies have changed and that could account for less activity. Monita credits Insp. Warren Brown of the Williams Lake RCMP for doing an excellent job. “I have to give him kudos,” he says. Recalling one of the first calls he went to in Nanaimo, he says it was probably one of the hardest. A man was working on the differential on a loaded Pepsi truck, when the block gave way, and it crumbled down on him, killing him. They took photographs, did interviews, called the ambulance, and then had to let the man’s wife know what had a happened. “I go to the door, knock on the door, and she opens the door and she’s nine-months pregnant. I can’t imagine a worse call than that. I was fumbling for words trying to tell her what happened.” Eventually Monita’s trainer stepped in and told her what had transpired, and then when they left he told Monita there isn’t a right way or a wrong way to deliver sad news. “You just have to tell the person

what happened. The longer you wait, the worse it gets,” the trainer said. The two officers arrived back home at 8 a.m. and then had to report for the autopsy at 9 a.m. “I didn’t get home until noon. That was the longest shift of my life,” Monita says. Attending a couple of shootings in those first few years gave him similar experiences and he admits he stopped to think a few times that perhaps a surveying career wouldn’t have been so bad after all. “This job you see a lot of things the public doesn’t see because you’re dealing behind the scenes. It’s amazing. In this job I’ve seen the best in people and I’ve seen the absolute worst in people. The funniest scenes to the worst you can imagine.” Outside of work and hunting, Monita loves to draw — pencil sketches of people fill his sketch books. He also loves to curl. Pouring over a photo album, Monita points to photographs of his days training at depot, the time the Tribune depicted him eating a gingerbread cookie at Cataline Elementary School and the cutline read “Mountie gets his
man.” Pausing, he shares that the crime scenes never impacted his sleep. He could get a call in the middle of the night, go out, and come back to sleep a few hours before resuming work. “I’ve never had a problem. When I got close to 35 years, the guys at the office suggested I go see a counsellor in Kamloops.” At the appointment the counsellor asked about work, crime scenes and whether Monita could sleep at night. He then invited Monita to go into his woodworking shop. “We went next door and we looked at his woodwork projects for an hour or so. Then I asked him if I was OK or would there be a problem down the road?” The counsellor looked at Monita, and said, “I think you’re more stable than I am.” For now Monita plans to take the summer off, and then in the fall might look at possibly working part-time, maybe guiding. His wife Donna has five more years before she retires, and together they have four grown children who are gone from Williams Lake. Monita says they plan to stay here after they’ve both retired.
Here, Monita displays one of the drawings in his sketch book. It’s just a man, not a suspect, he says.
