Residents Introductory lesson may see 4.9 per cent tax increase Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer In a vote of five to two council gave the first three readings to its proposed property tax bylaw at the Tuesday evening council meeting, which includes a three per cent tax increase for 2012, with a one per cent tax shift away from major industry to business and residential. As a result, that three per cent would not be a three per cent increase across all classes, but would translate into a 4.87 per cent increase in residential taxes — or $5.50 for every $1,000 of assessed value in 2012, up from $5.26 in 2011.

City of Williams Lake to pay former finance director $15K in settlement Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The City of Williams Lake has agreed to pay former finance director Candie Laporte $15,000 in a settlement following a human rights claim she filed against the city in May 2011. Laporte, according to a city news release, had alleged discrimination on the basis of sex in respect of wages. “The City strongly felt that it had not breached the Human Rights
Code,” the release says, adding the parties agreed to attend a mediation with the tribunal on Jan. 24, to see if there was a way to resolve the complaint without proceeding any further with the complaint. In doing so, the parties were successful and resolved the complaint. “The resulting settlement was an economic and practical resolution of the complaint and it did not constitute any admission of wrongdoing, liability, blame, or lack of confidence in the merits of its case by the city,” the release says. “In agreeing
to settle, the city recognized that the costs to defend this complaint, even if it was successful, was going to be much larger than the sum to be paid to Ms. Laporte.” The city says it felt that it was more responsible to the taxpayers to resolve the complaint at mediation rather than paying the city’s lawyers to defend the complaint even though it was confident the complaint would be dismissed. “In return for Ms. Laporte agreeing to withdraw her complaint and release the city from any further
claims or actions, the city made a business decision to pay $15,000 to Ms. Laporte.” The settlement was made public at Tuesday night’s city council meeting when Mayor Kerry Cook read a prepared statement. “This council felt it was important to be open and transparent and that’s why we are being open with this particular information,” Cook said, adding she would not go into any further details because it is a personnel matter. “It’s important to recognize that the complainant was wrong.”

Bonnell, Rathor vote against bylaw Continued From Page A1 In other words, a home assessed at $200,000 will see a $48 annual increase. An increase to the business rate of 5.17 per cent equates to $11.88 on $1,000 assessed value in 2012, up from $11.20 in 2011; and an increase to light industry of 5.82 per cent equates to $43.39 on $1,000 assessed value in 2012, up from $34.71 in 2011. Major industrial taxes will see less of an increase, going from $88.24 to $89.37 on $1,000 of assessed value, whereas utility rates will remain capped at $40 per $1,000 assessed value. It came as no surprise that councillors Ivan Bonnell and Surinderpal Rathor voted against the tax bylaw, as that has been their position throughout the budget discussions. Bonnell described the break to major industry as a “break through the back door”
The citizens don’t want to see a cut to the services.” - Sue Zacharias and an “injustice to residential and business sectors.” “If major industry thinks it has a challenge this year with what’s going on economically in their sector, future years aren’t looking much brighter,” Bonnell said. “The position council’s taking on this tax is unsustainable and will compound into an even bigger problem next year.” He also said he was disappointed that work on South Lakeside has been postponed to 2013. Mayor Kerry Cook agreed she was not pleased that the work has been delayed, but said the city ran out of time and that the necessary details and design work were not in place. “What was also brought up was that we

did not want to inconvenience people who drive that road for over two years. “That was my final decision,” Cook explained, adding she understands the frustration. More than $1.7 million in cuts were made to the budget, Cook said. When it comes to the tax rate, Cook said she disagreed that it was a break to one sector. “They’ve been paying their share for many, many years. What we have to do as a council is look at the long term. Coun. Geoff Bourdon agreed and said in 10 or 15 years he believes he will be able to look back and say he made the right decision. “Often the decision that’s right for the long term is not popular for
today,” Bourdon said. Rathor said he was saddened that a zero per cent option was never proposed. “I feel strongly that we did not cut back enough,” he said. Although disappointed in the delay of South Lakeside, Rathor agreed with Cook that he’d rather see the road work done right over one season, rather than over two years. On the other hand, Coun. Sue Zacharias described the tax bylaw as being financially responsible. “The citizens don’t want to see a cut to the services. We did cut and slash 1.7 million and we’re still keeping the services that our citizens value. “I do believe we have to keep putting money aside for different areas of the community,” she said, adding the
savings will help when it comes to applying for grants because the city will have money to put in the pot. Echoing Zacharias, Coun. Laurie Walters said she’s supported the idea of saving for the future and believes the budget is one of the steps the city is making toward that goal. “I’ve spoken to people who are putting it into perspective, the actual increase that we are asking for, and how much it equates to at the end of the day,” Walters said. Walters said the budget process has been difficult, but that she’s learned a lot. “Maybe sometimes you have to go through this to learn how to do things differently. Maybe this budget isn’t as sexy or the budget of process, but we have to recognize that what we’re doing is building toward bringing down our debt. “We are being thoughtful on how we are going to plan ahead by having reserves in place,” Walters said.

The future of the forest industry questioned Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Independent MLA Bob Simpson is calling on the provincial government to begin discussing the future of forestry in communities that are dependent on the forest industry. It’s not a new request, he says, but one that’s been intensified after Simpson read a confidential draft of a midterm timber supply report prepared for the minister and deputy minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, dated Feb. 29, 2012. The report was placed on the ministry’s website and then removed, Simpson says. The report states there is about 10 years of timber supply, but that most of the timber is pine that has been dead for five to 10 years. Under current lumber market conditions, it is uneconomical to harvest dead pine located at long-haul distances from the mills. And that licensees have indicated that the economic supply of dead pine varies from 1.5 years in the Quesnel Timber Supply Area (TSA) to about five years in the Prince George TSA. “That’s the critical factor. What’s happened is we have all these timber supply assessments and allowable cut reviews and Williams Lake’s just going through its TSA assessment and they’re hoping to have a new AAC in the fall,” Simpson says, adding that all that does is look at timber that’s available for harvesting.
“It doesn’t put this lens on it, which is that you may have that timber available for harvesting, but in the current economic conditions can the mills afford to go get it? No, they can’t.” In the Williams Lake area, Simpson is hearing that the timber supply is going to run out in two or three years, or at the most within five years. The report, Simpson explains, is from a larger technical study that was done by ministry and industry foresters that was given to government in November 2011. “I have two agendas in this. The government since August for Quesnel and since November for Williams Lake has known that we do not have a lot of time left before we are going to start to see significant mill closures if current market conditions continue and if current land-use plans are maintained.” At question period on April 17, Simpson stood up and asked when the conversation is going to begin with communities about what this looks like. “In the report the government is saying there may be an opportunity to save some jobs and to get more commercially viable timber to mills if we are willing to log in areas that are currently set aside for other values. But that’s a conversation that the government’s admitted as of yesterday that they have to consult with the public on this,” Simpson says. See RELAXING Page A8

Tsilhqot’in First Nations and staff were outside the Taseko Mines Ltd. open house held at the Gibraltar Room Monday evening, singing, drumming and handing out information leaflets about their opposition to New Prosperity.
New Prosperity topic of meeting with chief and minister Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Tl’etinqox (Anaham) chief and Tsilhqot’in National Government chair Joe Alphonse was in Ottawa earlier this month to let the federal government know that he opposes the proposed New Prosperity mine. He, along with other leaders and TNG staff, met with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and John Duncan, minister of aboriginal affairs and northern development. “We were there to inform government and I think that message was very clear. This is the first time in Canada this has ever happened. It’s clear that they are trying to
push every big project through as fast as they can. We told them they better stop and think about what they’re doing because we’re not about to endorse this development.” Alphonse says the TNG did not endorse the project in its first go around and that he feels the changes made by Taseko for the new proposal have not been significant enough. “It’s the wrong company, the wrong time and the wrong place,” he says. He says that in the 1990s Taseko hired a biologist to counter the TNG’s arguments in relation to fish population. Then, Alphonse says, the TNG told the company Taseko would sell its
interests as soon as the mine was approved. He says Taseko then bought Gibraltar Mine, countering the TNG’s arguments. “At that time we decided, you know what? No more dialogue with this company,” Alphonse says. “No matter what we say, what we do, they are just going to dip into their endless pot of funding to just continue to be a pain, a thorn in our side.” Taseko’s vice president of corporate affairs Brian Battison says there have been no formal discussions with the TNG since June of 2008, but said when it comes to the company’s purchase of Gibraltar, it was not done so it could purse
the Prosperity Mine project. “Why would we do that?” Battison asks. Alphonse alleges the government is letting the project have a second go around because of fears of being liable for a lawsuit from industry against government. “Our response to them was when was the last time big industry sued the government and won? On the other side of the coin, when’s the last time a First Nation sued government and won? Actually that wasn’t that long ago, and that was us that did that,” Alphonse says, adding if necessary, the TNG will sue government. “We’re not shy of the court room,” he
adds. “We told them if the environmental process is going to be gutted and they try to ram this project through in the end we’re going to lock them up in court and change it to an aboriginal argument and that’s when the real fight will begin.” Alphonse says the meeting with Duncan went well and it was the first time in history that any minister from aboriginal affairs has ever met with the Tsilhqot’in. It was history in the making, Alphonse says, adding he felt Duncan listened, and heard their message loud and clear. “We’re in for a fight, we’re not backing down,” Alphonse says.

NEWS Wolves wreak havoc on ranches Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Grant Huffman of the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association says wolves are a huge issue in the region and losses are getting to the level that warrant a solution. The fact that the province’s conservation office returned to handling predator control in April 2011, after being absent from the program about eight years, is making a difference, Huffman says, adding “hopefully we’re gaining ground.” During the period when the government backed away from predator control, it was handled privately by the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, which operated under a special permit from the Ministry of Environment. The BCCA hired private mitigators who operated under strict guidelines, Huffman explains. Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association president Duncan Barnett and
Huffman think one of the reasons the government got back into predator control was due to public pressure that it be controlled by a government agency rather than a nongovernment agency. “Some questioned how you could have industry in charge of the program to deal with the predators that are causing them the problems,” Barnett says. Besides, says David Zirnhelt, a CCA director and chair of the association’s marketing committee, governments are the stewards of wildlife and have a role to play. Since coming back into predator control, the conservation office had identified the issue as its number two concern after human safety, says Sgt. Len Butler of the Cariboo Conservation Office in Williams Lake. “We always did bears, cougars, etc., but getting back into wolf control has increased our complaints and a lot of producers are calling us on
a regular basis,” Butler confirms. Butler suggests the learning curve for the COs in the zone, which covers Quesnel down to 100 Mile House, has gone way up in terms of success in catching wolves. “We verify first what the predator is, and then we do mitigation from there, either by setting traps or continuously working on the husbandry end of ranching and farming to ensure that there are less losses.” Aside from the efforts of the COs, ranchers themselves are asking for “all the tools in the tool box” to deal with the problem, Barnett says. One of those tools is the ability to hire a qualified, approved contractor to come in if a rancher has a big problem. Additionally, the CCA encourages ranchers to become qualified to trap problem predators on their private land. By taking a three-day course that not only gives the
rancher a licence to trap but offers a background in the behaviour of the predator, ranchers are better equipped to describe to the CO service what’s happening. So far about 30 to 50 people have taken the training, but the training isn’t feasible for everyone. For example, Barnett describes some elderly neighbours who have a ranch and were caring for their granddaughter’s steer. “They were literally keeping it right by the house and it was killed by wolves.” Barnett insists that couple isn’t going to go out and get their trapping licence and start trapping wolves. They don’t really have the financial resources to hire a contractor to come in and deal with a wolf population. “The size of their operation just doesn’t justify it,” Barnett explains, adding they are the perfect candidates to call up the COs. On the other hand, if
there’s a ranch where the COs won’t be able to get to in a day, then that rancher might be better off to hire a private contractor because they cannot afford to wait. “Or have the ability to handle it himself by having the trapping licence,” Huffman says. Besides, Zirnhelt says, there are not that many licenced trappers operating under permits. “It is a specialized task to do it effectively.” Verifying what’s killing the cattle is also crucial, and something ranchers are also training for. “It gives you the skill, if you find enough remains, to skin it and look at teeth marks and bruising, and hopefully come up with a pretty good indication of what predator killed it,” Barnett says of the training, adding that cougars, bears and wolves all have different ways of attacking.

Trapping specialized Continued From Page A4 Verification is also mandatory for anyone who wants to apply for the provincial compensation program, where ranchers can receive up to 80 per cent of the market value of the livestock. “You don’t get compensated unless you can prove what killed your livestock,” explains Huffman. There are always challenges maintaining the provincial funding, and compensation isn’t the only answer, but if people have lost 20 to 60 animals, it’s got to be there, Barnett says, adding that it is very difficult
to prove that wolves have been the predator and in fact ranchers are presently getting compensated at a level of five to 10 per cent if they’re lucky. Zirnhelt suggests there needs to be another way to assess it through tracks, and age of the cattle, and the odd kill and how inordinate the losses are for that year. “It’s very complex to do that, but one of my neighbours was up to 26 head that didn’t come home out of a herd of 160. That’s huge and on the verge of challenging his ability to stay in business,” Zirnhelt says. Barnett and Huffman have been members of the Cariboo Regional
Advisory Committee, a group of stakeholders established in 2009 to look at wildlife and agriculture issues. “We as an association of cattlemen and ranchers wanted to do some proactive measures to control problem wildlife. When we started out it was the deer populations that were really high and were really hitting people’s alfalfa fields and spring grass hard,” Barnett recalls. The group developed a plan over the three years, only to realize the problem had shifted. Deer populations were going down and the wolf population was the problem.

1. Start shopping around 4 months before your current mortgage is up for renewal. Most lenders will rate hold for up to 120 days so this protects you against rate increases. 2. Never accept the bank’s posted rate! If you don’t ask for a lower rate you won’t get it. If your research determines your current lender has the best mortgage for you, ask them to match a competitor’s rate. 3. Negotiate on other options. Don’t fixate on rate alone. The amortization period, the rate type, the flexibility of payment schedules and early prepayment policies can be crucial to lowering your costs as well. 4. Use a mortgage broker. If you don’t like negotiating and don’t have time to research various lenders your mortgage broker will do it for you. And because the lenders pay broker fees it won’t cost you anything. According to the Bank of Canada, people who use a mortgage broker usually pay $2,000$4,000 LESS in interest over the term of their mortgage. That’s a HUGE savings!

Great trends highlighted in report
A

here are some positive numbers and trends to celebrate in the first quarter economic indicators report. BuildFrom the ing permit Mayor’s values in Chair the first quarter of Kerry Cook 2012 are up $130,000 over the same period last year, totalling more than $2 million. New home construction values have more than doubled to $1.48 million from $725,000; the unemployment rate has dropped; and the number of business licenses issued in the first quarter are up and we continue to have more than 1,000 in the city. Airport passengers went up almost 700 over the first quarter last year. The average selling price for a single family home is up $20,000 over last year, to $233,000. In addition, the city has received $1.46 million in direct grants since the beginning of the year. These government partnerships are key in carrying out infrastructure projects and other programs without going back to the taxpayer. I attended the presentation last Friday night and the presentation Saturday by domestic violence counsellor and speaker Kamal Dhillon. It was a fantastic event, and her sessions here were a gift to the city. It was also great to see the community support our RCMP members; seven members were honoured by all sectors of our community Saturday. I toured the area where an underpass will be built in 2013 on Mackenzie Avenue, which will help open up the River Valley Trail. Trail users will have a way to loop out rather than backtracking down the trail. This highlights the importance of grants to the city; we have received $550,000 from the province for this project. The River Valley trails are a valuable asset; I encourage everyone to check them out. Hats off to Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Williams Lake, which raised more than $25,000 at Bowl For Kids Sake last weekend. Thank you to all the businesses and individuals who supported this important fundraiser. And I want to wish everyone a fun and safe Indoor Rodeo this weekend! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.
Our Viewpoint
Help the planet While we should all make day-to-day decisions to help our planet in some way or another, whether it be tossing that plastic bottle in the recycling bin (or better yet, carrying a reusable one) or walking a few blocks instead of driving, take a few moments on Earth Day Saturday, April 21 to go that extra mile to help out Mother Earth. Pick up trash in your neighbourhood; make at least one small resolution to live more green, such as turning off the tap when brushing your teeth; or vow from now on to never forget your reusable bags when you head to the grocery store. Being conscious of our planet isn’t limited to caring about global warming/climate change. It also takes into consideration our rivers and streams, air quality, and toxins in our environment. Being environmentally conscious goes hand in hand with being health conscious for us and for future generations. A couple of Earth Day events taking place in the
lakecity include Awakening the Dreamer: Changing the Dream symposium/community sustainability forum/ Earth Day Extravaganza held on Saturday at Thompson Rivers University, as well as an Earth Day Family Mural Painting project, using recycled paint, at Rona on Sunday. And there will be an Earth Day celebration at Scout Island on Sunday that will include planting trees and painting and building with mud. If you are too busy at home to attend those events, incorporate Earth-friendly ideas into your weekend tasks. If you plan to work in your garden, resist the urge to use pesticides and opt for companion-planting measures instead.

bout a year ago, I caught wind of a government initiative examining what incremental timber supply might be made available if land-use restrictions in mountain pine beetle impacted timber supply areas were relaxed or lifted. The only sector the government was engaging in this asMLA sessment Musings was the Bob Simpson major licence holders; in effect, the companies that would seem to have the most to gain from any increase in timber availability. I met with the minister of forests and the chief forester at the time and urged them to be careful how they went about this review, because the land-use plans they were playing with were highly contentious compromise deals that people are still vested in. I warned that if word got out that the government was only talking to timber interests about logging areas reserved for other values, many people would say “no� to these plans before we had a chance to have an informed discussion about what the government’s assessment uncovered. Bad process always leads to bad outcomes. In this case, the government’s mishandling of the midterm timber supply review is leading to an unwanted and unnecessary fight between timber and non-timber interests at a time when we can least afford a polarizing debate. Groups and individuals have already written to the minister saying they won’t support any logging in forest reserves before we’ve had a public conversation. Over the past few months, I’ve been urging the minister to get the report that came out of the government’s midterm timber supply review into the public domain as soon as possible. This week I had to bring those private urgings into the public sphere through question period, and I did not get a satisfactory answer. The government must quickly engage us all in an informed discussion about our future timber supply. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

More Viewpoints
Mine negotiations should be based on give and take Editor:  Attending the New Prosperity road show, the investment that Taseko has in the greater Williams Lake area has once again been reemphasized by Brian Battison. There is absolutely no question that Taseko has bet its development dollar in this Williams Lake area. A successful implementation of its proposed New Prosperity mine development will certainly be a big boost for jobs and the economy of Williams Lake, B.C., and Canada. Taseko’s New Prosperity development investment is overwhelming. If this were a horse race, it is a race they very likely really need to win, as Taseko has certainly bet the farm on winning. It would appear that Taseko has taken the reasons why the first round failed and adjusted its proposal to include sav-
ing tiny Fish Lake— saving this lake being a prime reason why the Chilcotin First Nations communities were against the project in the first place. Will the changes satisfy the Chilcotin peoples? It seems at this time probably not; to the First Nations the bigger picture remains to be native land claims. I have likened Taseko’s investment to betting on a horse race. Generally speaking, in a horse race one can bet on another horse, or in other words consider alternate options. In New Prosperity, Taseko is offering job and economic development to the greater community as a whole; whereas the only other horse in the race is asking that the greater communities forgo jobs and economic development to protect a small segment of society’s way of life. There is very little balance on these scales, like a small school of
gold fish trying to survive in a tank full of hungry sharks. Negotiations need to be based on give and take; neither side in the final analysis can expect to come out holding all the aces. Constructing a wall of isolation around a community in this period of changing times may inadvertently feed the gold fish to the sharks. Taseko has committed $300 million and returned a lake, on its side of the negotiations; the question is, is it not time for some give and take in this picture? Many people in the Williams Lake area really do want to help the people of Nemiah Valley preserve their way of life; the people of Nemiah need to, at the same time, to also, very seriously consider the needs of the greater community.

Remember those who lost their lives Editor: I’d like to share with you a personal story about my first time when I was at a Day of Mourning ceremony. It was April 28, 2000 and I worked at Weyerhaeuser in Vavenby. We were told the story of a man named Corney Neufeld who took the finished loads of lumber away from the planer and put them out in the lumber yard. A requirement of the job was to put four-by-four blocks on top of the loads so as to double stack the
www.wltribune.com A7
loads in the yard. It was wintertime and Neufeld had just grabbed a load from the planer and had to put the blocks up on the previous load. His 944 forklift still had a sling of lumber on its forks, which was elevated off the ground. Due to the icy conditions his forklift slid forward, pinning him in between the two loads. It was almost two hours later when he was found crushed to death. He was one year from retirement. I also operate a forklift and do a very similar job. I swear that every
time I do my job I remember Corney Neufeld and I make sure that my load is touching the ground with my “E� brake on. I did not know Neufeld but his tragic death has taught me a lesson I will not forget. April 28 is the Day of Mourning. I want to encourage everyone to take a minute on that day to remember those who have lost their lives while at work or have been severely injured. Safety is everyone’s concern.

Cattle Fodder Liz Twan plications other than ranching (e.g., horse trailers, fencing supplies). Drop by. You might be surprised at what you’ll find there and on occasion there are bull-sale specials — promotions only good, on the spot, on the day. No time to ponder! There may be specials that you can take advantage of.
A conversation (overheard) at the last cattle sale reminded me (in spite of all the modernization) that our industry is still an old-fashioned, value-based business at heart. Older generations of cattlemen generally set great stock in a man’s word, his basic honesty and sense of honour, and you know that has not really changed too much in the last 100 years or more. It remains a business where a handshake often takes the place of a formal written contract; in spite of large dollar amounts in play, with both parties quite confident that the agreement will be honoured
Volunteering with Big Brothers has been a rewarding challenge.

precisely in the terms outlined (verbally). Break that agreement? Fail to honour all the terms of the deal? Not advisable! Cattlemen (scammed or cheated) have long memories (and the uncanny ability to pick a renegade critter out of a herd of hundreds); so while the hide may have been pulled over their eyes on a single occasion, it would do well for the dishonourable party to realize that they’ll be branded as untrustworthy, for the remainder of their days.

The Williams Lake Stags and the Columneetza Cougars squared off for a pair of exhibition rugby games Tuesday afternoon at WLSS. Here, in Grade 8 boys action, Columneetza player Orrin Watkinson charges up the field while Williams Lake secondary’s Noah Ryll looks to make a tackle. Watkinson scored Columneetza’s try en route to a 10-5 win.
Povelofskie, Cougars have solid season Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Looking back, Williams Lake hockey player Tyler Povelofskie said his past season with the Cariboo Cougars of the B.C. Major Midget League flew by. There were days, though, where he said it definitely felt like a lot of work. Povelofskie, 15, who had spent his entire hockey career playing in Williams Lake, was selected to the Cougars prior to the season, moving to Prince George in September with a billet family to begin the year. “It was long, like anything,� Povelofskie said, who is now back attending Columneetza secondary finishing his Grade 10 year. “Looking ahead it was long, but looking back it flew by. “Some of the days were really hard, but we got lots of time to recover and rest.� Povelofskie and the Cougars
went on to finish the regular season with 29 wins, five losses and six ties landing them second spot in the 11-team league heading into playoffs. There, they again finished second, making it to the final before falling to the Vancouver Northwest Giants in March, who also finished first in the regular season. Povelofskie, a forward, finished with eight goals and 12 assists for a 20-point campaign. He said at first he was nervous, but soon found himself feeling right at home with his new team. “I was kind of nervous at first,� he said. “I just wanted to make the team, and it was a bit hard because I didn’t make it right away, but then in the end I did and it was great. “It was definitely successful. I got lots of exposure and made lots of new friends, had some new experiences, learned some

Golfer spotlight: Derrick Walters BC Golf Special to The Tribune British Columbia Golf recently caught up with Derrick Walters, a Williams Lake golfer who attended its Regional Camp held at Surrey’s Northview Golf and Country Club from April 14-15. Walters, a member at the Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club, made the trip to Surrey with his parents, Cindy and Troy, for the weekend. The regional camps provide training programs to developing players and elite juniors who are on the competitive stream. The training program seeks to support player development and encourages a successful golfing season for those participants. Below are some questions asked by Chris-
topher McGrath of BC Golf to help you get to know Walters better and to see what his plans are for the 2012 BC Golf Championship Season. What is your favourite thing about golfing? My favourite thing about golf is being able to travel around and play new courses. I think being able to meet new people at the same time is great about the sport. I also really enjoy the fashion of the sport because I can have clothes that I really like. I believe that when I feel good and look good, I play better! What is your preshot routine? I have a pre-shot routine that consists of one practice swing beside the ball, one practice swing behind the ball, scan the area and pick
a target. I then visualize the target for a few seconds before formally addressing the ball. Once I am behind the ball I “waggle” the club twice and commit to whatever shot I visualized. What is the lowest score you have ever posted? A 73 at the Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club. What BC Golf tournaments are you planning on playing in 2012? I am looking forward to 2012. I am hoping to qualify for the BC Summer Games held at Hazelmere, GC. I am also looking forward to trying to qualify for the BC Juvenile Championship being held at Pricneton, GC. I also hope the BC High School Championships continue as planned, as
I would like to compete in those. What are your goals for this year? Three years? Five years? This year my goals are simple — to qualify for my events and to place top 15 in them. In three years time I hope to still be playing in provincial events with BC Golf and in five years I hope to have taken my game to the next level where I can be a part of a university golf program. What sort of education do you hope to get? U.S. or Canada? I am really interested in getting a degree in business. As far as a U.S. or Canadian education it doesn’t matter, as long as I get the opportunity to play on its golf team. It really depends where those opportunities come from. What area of your

APRIL IS DENTAL HEALTH MONTH
A healthy smile speaks volumes Why is so much emphasis placed on tooth brushing and flossing? Because oral health is directly linked to our general health and wellbeing. It is also a well known fact that dental disease can take a heavy toll, both financially and socially; treatments can be very costly, bad breath can put off our friends, and toothaches can cause absenteeism from work or school. Dental health involves all aspects of the health and functioning of the mouth. In addition to allowing us
to talk and eat, our mouths must also fight against infections that cause tooth decay, inflammation of the gums, tooth loss, and bad breath. So how can you ensure good oral health for you and your family? The first step is to make sure that very young children do not get into the habit of having a bottle of milk, fruit juice, or a sweet drink before going to bed. These sugary drinks stay coated on the teeth for long periods of time and can lead to tooth decay.
Your Overall Health Could Be In Jeopardy We remember all of those important dates like birthdays and anniversaries. We remember to change the oil in the car, get our hair done, and pay our taxes. But did you know that one of our most important annual events, our dental recare visit is often forgotten, postponed or cancelled? Cancellations or just not showing up for an appointment costs us time and prevents us from helping other patients that want treatment. But more importantly, skipping your checkup will affect you. We understand that you may be stretched financially, and as a result, your recare visit can be given a low priority. But something as simple as the early detection of a cavity can save you money down the road. The benefits do not stop there. Beyond brightening your smile and removal of dental tartar with a thorough cleaning, we can evaluate the health of your gums (which has been linked to diabetes, stroke, premature birth, heart disease, and cancer) and screen for serious threats like oral cancer. So, while you might think, “It’s just a checkup,” your recare appointment helps to monitor and maintain your good health. Keeping tabs on your oral health should be as important as your annual physical, and will help avoid painful and costly consequences down the road. Dr. Perry Vitoratos

Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and, if possible, floss them once a day. You should also visit your dentist about every six months for a check-up. Oral health professionals have an important part to play in maintaining dental health as well as treating and preventing associated problems. Schools also have a role in raising children’s awareness of the importance of a healthy diet and good oral hygiene.
~ Myths and Facts ~ MYTH: Orthodontists are appropriate only for the most challenging and complex orthodontic cases. FACT: Orthodontists recognize the difference between a simple case and a complex one. When a case is challenging, orthodontists know what to do. MYTH: My family dentist says he can straighten my teeth. FACT: An orthodontist has 2-3 years of specialized training beyond dental school and is a specialist at straightening teeth and insuring proper form and function. A dentist may see a handful of cases a year amid drilling and filling. An orthodontist only practices orthodontics and treats hundreds of patients. MYTH: Braces are for kids. FACT: One in five orthodontic patients is an adult. MYTH: Orthodontists charge more than general dentists for orthodontic treatment. FACT: It’s not the same work. The value in seeing an orthodontist is that the orthodontist is an expert, highly experienced and understands form, function and a wonderful smile. Submitted by Dr. Bhalla

Hello Williams Lake! My name is Michelle Ball and I am Miss Gustafson’s Dodge. I was born and raised in Williams Lake and this June I will be graduating from Columneetza Secondary School. I play on the CSS girls’ soccer and rugby teams. I have played league and rep soccer for many years and got to represent our city at multiple play-downs, several provincial tournaments and attended the Hawaii Invitational Friendship Cup in 2011. I also have a love for curling and was very fortunate to skip my team at the Junior Provincials in Victoria last December. I was honoured to receive the Female Sportsmanship Award. I also curled in the Northern BC Winter Games in Prince Rupert. I have had a passion for horses ever since I was very young, but there was never an opportunity to have one of my own. I am lucky to have friends who I can ride with and we have attended many of the local rodeos. I have been a volunteer at our world famous Williams Lake Stampede for the past three years and have enjoyed watching and supporting our local riders. I am very excited to be running for the 2012 Stampede Royalty as it has been a long-time goal.
Hello Williams Lake and surrounding community! My name is Terris Billyboy, Miss Boitanio Mall. I am 18 years old and a fourth generation cowgirl, born and raised here in Williams Lake. I am currently a student at Thompson Rivers University studying Applied Business Technology. Rodeo has always been a part of my life. Watching my dad ride bulls and me competing at seven years old fostered a deep passion in me for the sport. I come from a family of rough stock riders, making my sister and I the first generation of timed event competitors. Thanks to Mom for buying horses, Dad for driving, Jim Mulvahill for teaching me to ride and his wife, Norma Mulvahill, for the wardrobe of shirts and making the best cheering section ever. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for them. The Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo was my very first rodeo contending as a PeeWee Barrel Racer. The more I entered, the more I wanted to learn and that is when I met Allison Everett, an all around cowgirl, who thankfully helped me to improve my skills.
Hello Williams Lake and surrounding areas! I am Miss Lake Excavating Ltd. Alexis Forseille. I am ecstatic to be participating in the 2012 Williams Lake Stampede Queen Competition! I was born and raised in Williams Lake and have enjoyed the Williams Lake Stampede for as long as I can remember. I first became involved with horses at the age of nine. By the time I turned 14 I had completed my levels one through three in the Western Equestrian Preparation Rider Program. One of the most exciting pieces in this competition for me is the opportunity to use my own horse, Breeze, for horsemanship sessions. Currently, I am in Grade 12 at Williams Lake Secondary School. I have achieved straight A’s with a 93 per cent average since Grade 8 and have been heavily involved in leadership activities throughout high school. I was fortunate enough to attend the 2009 Kelowna British Columbia Student Leadership conference as a participant and the 2010 Prince George British Columbia Student Leadership Conference as a selected leader. In 2010, I was also privileged to represent Williams Lake Secondary School at Encounters with Canada, Environmental Week hosted in Ottawa.
Hello Williams Lake, my name is Christina Walsh, Miss Overlander/ Ramada Hotel. I am 19 years old and I have lived in Williams Lake since I was four years old. I attended Columneetza Secondary School. Throughout my school years I discovered a love for all kinds of sports with volleyball being my favourite. My future plans are to continue my schooling at a post secondary school in hopes of completing the dental hygienist program. I am currently working a full-time job, but in my spare time I enjoy snowboarding, baseball, horseback riding and volleyball. For as long as I can remember I have always enjoyed attending the Stampede. It was our time to spend the weekend as a family. My favourite part of the weekend was watching the newly crowned queen and princess riding in the parade, as well as watching the bull riding and the mountain races. In Grade 10, my best friend encouraged me to enter in my first gymkhana. I was a little hesitant about it at first as I didn’t have a lot of riding experience, but I did it. I managed to do the events without falling off!

New mural project celebrates Earth Day The second annual downtown Williams Lake Family Mural Painting project in celebration of Earth Day, using recycled paint, takes place this Sunday, April 22. People of all ages are invited to put on their painting clothes, bring along water to drink, paint, brushes, gloves and safety glasses and join in helping to paint
the new mural that has been designed for the Rona building at the corner of Proctor Street and Third Avenue. Everyone is welcome, says Potato House Society president Mary Forbes, who is co-ordinating the project that will be hosted by Kimberly McLennan from ART 4 Wellness with support from Rona and the Cariboo Chilcotin
Conservation Society. “There is an earthy design that will be unveiled at 9 a.m. April 22,” Forbes says. Forbes, who is also the Young Naturalist Club leader at Scout Island will also provide opportunities for people to try the gyotaku Japanese fish printing method of creating prints of fish using a pink salmon and
Bright Red Bookshelf Children’s Book Drive
a rainbow trout that will be provided by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Forbes will be helping kids and adults to create fish prints on flags, on their favourite T-shirt and onto the mural. “Life-like, beautiful impressions will be made,” Forbes says. The painting starts at 10 a.m. and continues to 3 p.m.
Contestants share their stories Continued From Page A18 Michelle Ball I am looking forward to all the new experiences I will gain as well as the opportunity to grow and achieve greater confidence as an individual. I am also pleased to be taking this wonderful journey with these amazing ladies. No matter the outcome, I am hoping to develop some great memories and friendships. I would like to thank my sponsor, Gustafson’s Dodge, and the Stampede committee for continuing the royalty tradition. I would also like to thank my family and friends for all of their support and encouragement. It is more than appreciated. I look forward to the opportunity to welcome everyone to the Stampede and the city of Williams Lake. I hope to see y’all at the 86th Annual Williams Lake Stampede! Terris Billyboy I’ve been all over B.C. participating in different rodeo associations and

many events from barrel and flat racing to pole bending, goat tying, steer riding and breakaway roping. I have enjoyed every opportunity to be in the arena and always look forward to the next. What brings me to run for Stampede Queen you may ask? Having run for the B.C. High School Rodeo Queen, I enjoyed the experience and was titled Personal Interview winner and Miss Congeniality. The Williams Lake Stampede Queen contest was calling my name. An opportunity to promote the great city of Williams Lake and the wonderful sport of rodeo, I can’t wait to see everything the coming months have in store for us. I hope to see you all at the 86th annual Williams Lake Stampede from June 29 to July 2. Alexis Forseille With all the experience I gained, I became involved in hosting the 2011 British Columbia Student Leadership Conference in Williams Lake. Unfortunately, due to the teacher strike our conference was cancelled.
I am an active member on the WLSS student council as well as the WLSS Go To Team which is a team of Grade 12 students nominated by teachers to help students in younger grades within our school. I enjoy every leadership position I am given within our school or community. I enjoy volunteering at the Williams Lake Veterinary Clinic and have been a member on the Williams Lake SPCA Community Council since October 2010. Besides volunteering, I enjoy hiking trails around Williams Lake, kayaking, going to fitness classes, and skiing. However, my favourite activities are enjoying the outdoors with friends, travelling and of course horseback riding! I am really looking forward to learning more about the history of Williams Lake and the Williams Lake Stampede. Hopefully our paths will cross during my journey through the Williams Lake Stampede Queen program and I am excited to have the opportunity to meet many members of our community.
Thank you! Hope to see you at the 86th annual Williams Lake Stampede! Christina Walsh Since then I’ve gone to every rodeo event her family would let me go to. I love the thrill of the rodeo and what it has to offer. Rodeo seems to have become an important part of my life. Through volunteering at high school rodeo, indoor rodeo and various other community events it has supported my passion for the sport. I look forward to getting out in the community, meeting people and learning more about the history of our city and the Williams Lake Stampede. Williams Lake is a great place to live, work and play and I would love the opportunity to tell everyone why. I would like to take this time to thank my sponsor the Overlander/Ramada Hotel, The Stampede Queens’ Committee for making this program what it is today, my family and my friends. Without their support I wouldn’t be able to enjoy an experience of a lifetime.

Columneetza students fast for World Vision Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer More than 40 Columneetza students will be going without food for 30 hours next week to raise funds for the work of World Vision in Africa. The students had the option of supporting food relief, education, or water projects but felt food for famine relief in the Horn of Africa was the greatest need. “The funds raised by April 25 will be going to help feed African families who do not have access to food,” says Stephanie Tucker, the 18-year-old Grade 12 student who is organizing the event. She is making pleas for donations from local businesses and community groups. Participating students are also collecting donations on pledge sheets. Stephanie is not unfamiliar with poverty. In 2010, she and her family took a year

Columneetza Grade 12 student Stephanie Tucker is seeking community support for her school’s World Vision 30-Hour Famine. off to volunteer helping the poor in Peru through an organization called Bruce Peru. “The idea that Africa is poorer than what we
saw in Peru is tragic,” Stephanie says. “This is why this problem needs help. Facts of death so often from malaria, AIDS, or
just dying from malnutrition are all too realistic. “My hope is that as a community we can come together and support each other in the fundraising and awareness of this tragedy in Africa.” On Tuesday, April 24 the participating Columneetza students will stop eating at 9 p.m. and not eat again until 7:30 a.m. on April 26. They will stay overnight in the school gym where they will play games and watch the movie Slum Dog Millionaire. They will break their fast by cooking and eating breakfast together. World Vision’s 30Hour Famine is the world’s biggest youth fundraiser. Funds raised help provide emergency relief for families impacted by drought in the Horn of Africa. World Vision projects for 2012 include training 800 families
to farm and store food; provide 800 families with a cow and seeds for plants to prevent future droughts; and give oxen and ox-ploughs to farmers. The program also helps to organize farmers to work together and grow more crops, and to improve the nutrition of pregnant women, mothers and young children. Stephanie says she learned about World Vision’s 30-Hour Famine project several months ago while researching for university scholarships. Organizers earn a chance to win a university scholarship and a chance to go with World Vision on a charitable mission to Africa.

Dances part of indoor rodeo fun Continued From Page A18 The band Third Degree plays Friday night starting at 6 p.m. in Rink 2. There is no cover charge for the Friday, adult-only event. Saturday night the band Mosquito Creek plays for the Barn Dance starting at 9 p.m. Tickets for this event are available at the rodeo office on the upper level of Boitanio Mall. The reigning royalty Stampede Queen Davana Mahon, and Princesses Bobi Bracewell and Alexia Colton will also be attending the Bull Sale this week as well as the bull sale’s evening dinner. Bracewell will also sing the national anthem during the opening ceremonies for each of the Indoor Rodeo performances this weekend. Since starting their training, MacDonald says this year’s Stampede Queen contestants have been busy attending Toastmaster’s sessions to polish up on their public speaking skills, brushing
up on their horsemanship skills and rodeo knowledge, and studying local history and community affairs. They have also been attending numerous community events such as the Stampeder hockey games, Stampede dinner and auction, Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay commemorating his Man in Motion world tour, the Rose Lake/Miocene 4-H Club’s Easter Petty Zoo in Boitanio Mall and the Bowl for Kids Sake tournament last weekend for Big Brothers and Big Sisters. They helped to register people for the The Nutrition Fun Run and participated in the fivekilometre portion of the run in their cowboy boots. “That’s dedication,” MacDonald says. They visited the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin where they took off their hats and crowns, and banners and got down to the business of cleaning saddles, polishing silver and learning about our local history.

“They call the Cariboo home” Cyril O’Connor had a great heart for family and community Nancy O’Connor Rupert Special to The Tribune There is a saying: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” My father, Cyril Marcus O’Connor, made a very fine life. Those of you who knew him well knew that he was motivated by three guiding principles: faith in God, love of family, and pride in hard work. He worked hard at whatever task was before him; his job, taking care of his home and family, working at the church, or lending a hand to someone, which he did often. He was born the sixth of seven children on April 11, 1931 on the Irish Ridge just outside of Huntingdon, Quebec. His parents, Patrick O’Connor and Stella Walsh O’Connor, were born into Irish families that had farmed along the Ridge since about the 1830s. Patrick and Stella continued the farming tradition, raising seven children who all learned from their parents the value of hard work. My father would often quote his mother, telling me: “Never put off till tomorrow what can be done today.” The children also learned from their parents the importance of faith. His father helped to build St. Joseph’s Church in Huntingdon, the church where Cyril was baptized and confirmed. Nicknamed Dan by his family, Cyril was also raised to value family and community ties. He lost his father at seven years old, and grew up watching his mother run a dairy farm while raising her children. When she needed help, there was always family around to pitch in: her brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews. Cyril learned early on that family cares for family and there was nothing he wouldn’t do for his family. It has been such a privilege to grow up as his daughter, knowing that no matter how many

Shirley and Cyril O’Connor on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary in 2003 with their three children Larry (left), Nancy, and Brian. mistakes I might make in life, he’d always be there for me. My grandmother Stella once told Mom about how she would take a short nap in the afternoons once the youngest boys were home from school. She would sometimes hear Cyril and his younger brother Harold plotting to get some of her afternoon kitchen chores finished before she woke up. That was just the kind of family and work ethic they were raised with — you thought of others before yourself, and there was always a job to be done. I don’t want to give the impression that my father was a perfect child. According to one story, Grandpa Walsh was over for Sunday dinner which included homemade ice cream for dessert. Cyril loved ice cream, so when his bowl was empty he nipped some from his grandpa, who happened to be blind. When his sister Bea and brother Walter caught him, they taught him a lesson by taking him to the milk house where the ice cream was kept and telling him if he liked ice cream so much he
should just eat all he could. They didn’t manage to turn him off the ice cream. We used to laugh at Cyril’s homemade “ice cream sandwiches,” consisting of a scoop or two of vanilla between two slices of bread. Cyril took on huge responsibilities early in life. When his two older brothers left home he quit school at 15 to run the family farm. He mixed work with pleasure, though, going out with his cousins to barn dances on weekends. It was at these dances that he would have first set eyes on the pretty farm girl from the Scottish township down the road. And Cyril’s cousin Kenny happened to be dating the girl’s best friend, Edna. Maybe Cyril put Kenny up to it, we’ll never know, but a double date was arranged for New Year’s Eve celebrations 1949 and I understand there were fireworks that night. Cyril and Shirley (nee Rowat) were married in 1953, moving to Gatineau where Cyril worked as a millwright for Canadian International Fibreboard for 17 years. A year after they were married,
Larry was born. Brian followed three years after that. Cyril and Shirley built a house together, literally, but eventually it was time to move on. As a child Cyril was tossing hay with a pitchfork which went right into his knee when he slipped. Cyril didn’t stop to get any kind of medical attention, just pulled the pitchfork out and kept working. He developed arthritis in that knee, and the humidity of the area really bothered him, so in 1969 he and Shirley decided to move their family west to Williams Lake where the air was drier. A few years later a baby girl was born. I have such wonderful memories of growing up living on the Onward Ranch, and Dad loved living there. It reminded him of his years growing up on the farm. He often lent a hand in his spare time, doing the haying or helping with maintenance of the ranch buildings. Cyril and Shirley had a big garden and raised chickens and pigs and kept a milk cow that calved every spring. There were so many happy times in our yellow house on Mission Road. The Oblates were like family. There were many get-togethers with people from the ranch or the Mission, so much laughter and even the occasional sing-song. We were sad to leave the ranch, but in 1980 we moved to town and Cyril started working for School District 27. He started in the bus garage then did grounds for a while, and finally settled into doing the welding for the district. He often taught himself, but he acquired tickets for millwrighting, welding and carpentry. Once he was even asked to repair a band instrument, and he figured out how to fix it. Health problems forced Cyril into early retirement in the 1990s, a hard adjustment because he

was so accustomed to physical labour. Though he slowed down some, I still remember him in his 70s shovelling snow off a neighbour’s roof, and I was in a total panic just a couple of years ago when he climbed onto the rail of my balcony, two stories above a concrete patio. He just laughed at me as I yelled at him to get down. In his later years, Cyril was active with the Knights of Columbus, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, and Meals on Wheels. Brian tells me that for him the first sign of spring isn’t seeing a robin; it’s seeing Dad taking down the winter stuff, putting the garage-in-a-box away and putting up the swing. Then it’s on to the annual painting of the new asphalt for the driveway and other jobs. I know it is starting to sound like I think my father was a saint, and to a certain extent I really do. But he liked to argue. We could holler at each other over differences of opinion on politics or religion, but never really be mad. It was actually sport in our house. Growing up near Montreal, while his whole family would cheer on the Habs, Dad proclaimed allegiance to the Maple Leafs. Cyril died at peace on March 26, 2012. He said goodbye to every child, grandchild and greatgrandchild. It was such a good death, in keeping with his very fine life. He was predeceased by an infant daughter, Mary, and an infant son, Joseph. He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Shirley; their children Larry (Lori), Brian (Dina) and Nancy (Jason); grandchildren, Dan (Amanda), Derrick (Breeann), Jolene, Nathan, Kieran and Meghann; great-grandchildren, Cianna, Trey, Ava, Jewel, and Hailey. He is also missed by his brother Harold (Cheryl), and numerous cousins, nephews, nieces and many friends.
