Train and vehicle collide An SUV and a train collided Saturday morning at the CN tracks on Frizzi Road. On April 21 at 5:26 a.m. Williams Lake RCMP members attended a collision between a CN train and a Ford Explorer at the intersection of Frizzi Road and the CN tracks in Williams Lake. “It was reported that the vehicle ran out of gas and stopped on the rail crossing. The Locomotive Engineer saw the vehicle on the tracks and attempted to stop,” says Sgt. Richard LeBeuf, RCMP media communications in Williams Lake. The train hit the vehicle while traveling 0.5 kilometres per hour. No injuries were sustained as a result of the collision, and minor damage occurred to the vehicle. Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Locals gather to share their grief and love for Rayel MacDonald, 20, who died early Sunday after being struck by a truck on Carson Drive in Williams Lake. A tribute site has been erected near the scene.

Community mourns loss of a loved one Second victim airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital with life-threatening injuries after Sunday tragedy Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Flowers, cards, candles, shells, feathers, stuffed animals, and tributes now grace the sign post closest to the scene of where 20-year-old Rayel MacDonald died early Sunday morning. At noon on Monday, around 200 people, including students, family, teachers, friends and people from the community gathered at the site for a short memorial service. MacDonald and another young woman, also 20, were struck by a truck on Carson Drive in Williams Lake at approximately 2:15 a.m. Sunday. Williams Lake RCMP say they received a call that two pedestrians had been struck by an older model smaller pickup truck that fled the scene. The truck, while travelling down the hill, hit the pedestrians close to the bottom of the hill, near the Williams Lake Secondary School field. The RCMP say there were 25 to 30 witnesses at the time of the incident.

Rayel MacDonald was tragically killed early Sunday morning after a vehicle struck her and a friend while they were crossing Carson Drive. Her friend, whose name hasn’t been released yet, was airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital with lifethreatening injuries. When BC ambulance attended the scene, MacDonald was pronounced dead. The other woman, whose name has not been released yet, was airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital with life-threatening injuries. “I can tell you she has severe chest trauma, pelvic trauma, and actually has a broken femur,” says Corp. Madonna Saunderson, media liaison for RCMP Prince George Regional Provincial Traffic Services.

A family member says she is now in stable condition. Soon after the incident, the truck was located by Williams Lake RCMP members. Martin William Michael Gentles, 27, was charged with impaired driving causing death and impaired driving causing bodily harm. MacDonald graduated from Williams Lake Secondary School in 2010, and had just completed two years in the nursing program at Thompson Rivers

University in Williams Lake. At the memorial site, one note says: “Heh girl, I guess Heaven needs nurses too ... . We will miss you.” As they held a rugby ball, which was quickly gathering signatures and notes, a group of female rugby players spoke of their love for their lost friend and fellow rugby player. Through their tears, the players talked about their gratitude to a young woman who made them laugh, supported them, made them feel confident and who they were grateful to know. “She’ll be on the pitch with us in the future,” one player said. Another said MacDonald loved them all “too much.” A young man said he would give anything to hear her laugh again. Another said although she was tragically taken she will always live in people’s hearts. WLSS counsellor Mike Levitt said words don’t seem to fit when a young person passes. See GENTLES Page A2

Firefighters respond to Sugar Cane blazes Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Two recent fires at Sugar Cane Reserve have kept local firefighters busy. On April 14, the 150 Mile House volunteer fire department was called to what fire chief Stan McCarthy

says was a large grass fire. “I don’t know how it was set, but it was a kilometre by a kilometre. “We managed to control it and turned it over to a crew from the Cariboo Fire Centre,” McCarthy explains, adding he had to take

two of his members to Cariboo Memorial Hospital for smoke inhalation, where he waited with them for a few hours. On April 19, a second fire broke out amongst some buildings, sparked by someone grinding on a metal fence.

“It burnt down a couple little sheds. I called in the Williams Lake Fire Department because I needed some manpower,” McCarthy says, adding there were 15 firefighters all together fighting the blaze — six from 150 Mile House and the rest from Williams Lake.

Gentles to appear in court May 23 Continued From Page A1 Reading from a prayer he’d penned, Levitt asked for comfort and peace for everyone. Pastor Paul Lomavutu, also a former rugby player, told those gathered that he never knew MacDonald, but after talking to the rugby players and asking them to share one thing they loved about her, he decided she must have been a mother hen. Heartfelt laughter erupted from the crowd when Lomavutu offered

those descriptive words. “The conviction that comes to me is that it is so tragic when a young life is lost. When we see what she can teach us as a mother hen, we can think about a bird that has broad wings. And under her wings are chicks that she protects. In that sense of protection they take refuge and comfort. It’s a place for fun, a place to nurture and a place to grow,” Lomavutu said, adding that MacDonald provided that sense of protection and security for her fellow rugby play-

ers. MacDonald’s mom Andrea described theirs as a musical family and asked everyone to sing You are My Sunshine, one of the family’s favourite songs to sing at home. “It describes Rayel and describes how she felt about all of you,” Andrea said as she looked around at all the people gathered. Afterwards Mayor Kerry Cook said she believed it helped for people to be able to gather together. “Our hearts and prayers go out to the MacDonald family. Rayel was a beau-

Workplace safety highlighted at Day of Mourning ceremony Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Saturday’s annual Day of Mourning ceremony in Williams Lake will be dedicated to the two workers who lost their lives during the Babine Forest Products mill explosion in Burns Lake in January. “Carl Charlie and Robert Luggi, two First Nations individuals, were well connected with their community. “We are going to dedicate the ceremony to them. Burns Lake is having a very large ceremony and theirs is going to be dedicated to the two of them obviously,” says Eric Freeston, chair for the Day of Mourning in Williams Lake, and member of the United Steelworkers — Local 1-425. Freeston says the day is not about pointing fingers at industry, but about the fact that safety on the workplace affects everyone. “I think the best way to deal with safety at the workplace is to lobby government for stronger legislation, instead of de-regulations that we’ve been seeing.” Last week city council voted in favour of proclaiming Saturday April 28, 2012 as a Day of Mourning, giving authorization to fly the flag at half mast. Citing statistics, Freeston points out

that since 2000 there have been 10,000 fatalities on the job in Canada. In 2011 there were 142 work-related deaths in B.C., and three of those were in the Cariboo. “That’s the reason why it’s absolutely necessary that we mark the Day of Mourning on an annual basis to remind people that safety is everyone’s concern.” An accident-free place might be a tough target to achieve, but continuing to strive for that goal is crucial. When one employee dies, there’s a ripple effect into the community where that person lives. “I think what happened up in Burns Lake brings home that point very clearly. “That’s two fatalities in B.C. already and we’re only part way through the year.” Freeston also advocates for educating workers, especially younger ones, about their rights to a safe work place. “They need to know that they can legally refuse to do anything that compromises their safety and if they do that, they can’t be fired.” That goes for seniors, too, who might be afraid they may lose their jobs and take unnecessary risks, he adds. This Saturday’s event takes place at 11 a.m. at Williams Lake’s city hall.

At the 75th annual Williams Lake Bull Show and Sale, held April 20 and 21, a Hereford Bull from Little Fort Herefords garnered the Tribune trophy for reserve grand champion. Here judge Darrell Comazzetto of Kamloops, Levi Pincott, Tribune editor Erin Hitchcock and Stampede Princess Bobi Bracewell pose with the winning bull.

Show and sale yields big champions Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer This year’s top seller at the 75th annual Williams Lake Bull Show and Sale garnered more than $3,000 more than the top seller in 2011. The highest seller — an Angus bull owned by Sealin Creek — sold for $10,400 to Fleury Cattle Co. & Saskatla Farms Ltd. Organizers of the sale say the average Angus bull sold for $3,445.51, and a total of 57 were

sold. Other sales resulted in the top Hereford bull owned by Deanfield Ranch, going for $6,400 to Turner Ranch Ltd. A total of 37 Hereford bulls sold for an average price of $3,316.22. Topping the Charolais bull sales was one from Bridge Lake that sold for $3,600 to Garth Everall. Three Charolais Bulls were sold for an average price of $3,100 each.

The top-selling Limousin bull, owned by Pinnacle View Limousin, was sold for $3,400 to Ward Creek Ranch. Four bulls were sold in the category, for an average of $2,750. When it came to the Gelbvieh bulls, the top seller, owned by Barry and Rober Mader, sold for $3,000 to Brian and Brandy Armstrong. Two were sold in the category — each for an average of $3,000. In the Simmental bulls, the highest sale

was $3,400 for a bull owned by Miocene Simmentals sold to White Saddle Ranch. A total of six bulls were sold in the category, for an average price of $2,683. The sale took place April 20 at the Williams Lake Stockyards and saw a total of 108 bulls sold at an average of $3,319.44. Prior to the sale that had standing-room only, the show with judge Darrell Comazzetto of Kamloops took place

April 19, again with standing room only. Comazzetto selected a Grand Champion in the Angus division, a bull owned by Sealin Creek, and Reserve Grand Champion, a bull owned by Todd Marchant and Pam McGuinness. In the Hereford category, he selected a Grand Champion and Junior Champion, a bull owned by Deanfield Ranch. For Reserve Grand Champion, he chose a bull owned by Little Fort Herefords.

Landslide destroys pipes in river valley A landslide in the river valley destroyed two pipes sometime between April 10 and 11. The incident took place in the area adjacent to the Williams Lake solid waste transfer station. The slide destroyed

a large section of the treatment water outfall from the Capital Power plant and a storm outfall pipe, which are critical components of the city’s infrastructure, says a news release from the city. Plant operations were not affected, and

the city says there is no danger to the public as a result of the slide. The Ministry of Environment and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans have been notified of the incident. The city completed emergency works April 17 to divert the storm

flow that was flowing through the slide and dumping silt into the creek. “Replacing the destroyed pipes is a priority, and the city is exploring options for long-term replacements for them,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “It

is expected there will be a significant financial impact, and we are looking at ways to address the situation within our existing budget.” The city says the public will be updated as developments unfold.

Youth council to hold forums Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The Junior Youth Council of Williams Lake will be hosting youth forums this week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one for adults and one for youth. Speaking to council at its regular meeting Tuesday, JYC member Patrick Newsome said the forums will explore youth relations in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In terms of these relationships we would like to improve relations with adults too and encourage youth to speak up more and adults to be open minded and inspired to open up more opportunities for youth in the community,â&#x20AC;?

Newsome told council. Both forums will be held at Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake campus. The April 26 session will be for adults from 1 to 4 p.m. and the April 27 session for youth from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The plan is to recruit 20 youths from Columneetza Secondary School and 20 from Williams Lake Secondary School to participate in the youth session. Issues covered will include topics such as stereotyping in early ages, and identifying harmful factors that affect youth. After the forum on Friday there will be a

dance at the Basement, an alcohol free venue on Oliver Street, for the youth participants and their guests. On April 25, the JYC members will meet with a facilitator from PeerNet BC, who will help prepare them for hosting the forums. Mayor Kerry Cook applauded the junior councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to ob-

tain facilitating skills and create an environment where the community can discuss youth issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How are we going to hear back about the results? Do you know the plan for communicating out?â&#x20AC;? Cook asked, and heard there will be a group presentation at the end of the youth forum.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inviting people from different businesses and organizations to attend the session,â&#x20AC;? Newsome explained, adding thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be another update in the form of a report. Newsome also said the council is looking at co-ordinating the Relay for Life; however, they are in the preliminary stages.

City Council gave the first three readings to the 2012 budget and 2013-2016 Financial Plan at its regular meeting April 3. The current plan calls for tax revenue increases of 3% in each of its five years. This is a reduction from the 5% increases projected in the 20102014 financial plan and 4% in the 2011-2015 plan. The 2012 budget maintains current levels of service and any increased costs in 2012 operating budget, including $303,000 for the RCMP contract, were more than off-set by a number of cost cutting measures. After accounting for fixed increases in 2012, the general fund operating budget was reduced by $213, 680 or 1.2%. Other highlights of the 2012 budget and Five Year Financial Plan include: s.O INCREASES TO WATER OR SEWER RATES IN s-INIMUM OF MAINTAINED IN THE General Surplus Reserve.

Old favourites meet a new generation

D#5 is into Sherlock Holmes, much to my surprise. Apparently it began with Dr. Who, a British sci-fi series about a 900-plus-year-old time-travelling alien who travels in a police public call box (her description, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask me.) From Dr. Who s h e French bumbled Connection into a modernDiana French day version of Sherlock. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just called Sherlock, and the stories are the originals in modern settings with a twist. The characters are the same. A handsome, young actor named Benedict Cumberbatch is Sherlock. She also reads the original Sherlock Holmes stories and was miffed when she only found one, the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, in the library. She watches these shows on the Internet and whenever they are on TV. Sherlock will be on Channel 9 in May so I will watch to compare with the Sherlocks I remember. She also watches Sponge Bob Square Pants on TV. I believe this is what you might call a wide range of interests. Not to be outdone, GS#3 and some of his friends are into My Little Pony on TV. I thought this was little girl stuff but it seems the Generation 4 series is aimed at an older set of both genders. There was a My Little Pony convention in Vancouver recently. The names of the ponies are, well, interesting. My favourite is Pinky Pie. Runners up are Fluttershy, Derpy, Scootalo and Twlight Sparkle. (Wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there a girl named Sparkle Plenty in the comics years ago?) GD#6 and #7 are also into My Little Pony, and they have a number of little plastic ponies, but they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t into Gen. 4. *** At the recent open house hosted by Taseko Mines Ltd. to discuss the New Prosperity mine, I heard someone refer to â&#x20AC;&#x153;sustainable mining.â&#x20AC;? How does that work? Is there a Rumpelstiltskin out there somewhere who can weave straw into gold? Or copper or whatever? Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Our Viewpoint

A tragic loss Our hearts and thoughts go out to the families and friends of the two young women who were struck by a vehicle while they were crossing Carson Drive early Sunday morning. One of the women is fortunate to be alive, and we wish her a successful and speedy recovery. Unfortunately the other wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so lucky. The passing of Rayel MacDonald, 20, came as a great shock to us and to this community. She was a beautiful young lady with a bright future ahead of her, and we offer our deepest condolences to her family. We cannot begin to imagine the pain being felt by those who knew her. As a community, we need to reach out to the victims and their families and show our support during this time, and to also learn from this horrible incident so a tragedy like this never happens again.

Martin William Michael Gentles, 27, has been charged with impaired driving causing death and impaired driving causing bodily harm. We recognize that there is likely a lot of anger felt toward the driver who not only allegedly struck the women while impaired, but who police say also fled the scene. But we do not know all of the details that led to the tragic incident and ask that everyone try to reserve judgement until all of the facts are known and the matter is dealt with by the courts. We recognize that the driver, too, must be trying to cope with what happened and will have to live with the incident for the rest of his life. So many people, so many families, including those of the suspect, have been affected by this terrible, terrible incident. Our hearts break for all involved.

or many, the workplace is almost like a second home. It is a safe place where we strive to succeed in our jobs and are surrounded by friends and close colleagues. Unfortunately, far too many British Columbians tragically lose their lives every year in their own workplace. O n MLA April 28, the provMusings ince will Donna Barnett have the chance to come together and remember the 142 workers in B.C. who lost their lives as a result of workplace injury or illness in 2011. The Day of Mourning was first recognized by the Canadian Labour Congress in 1984 and later became nationally proclaimed in 1991. The forestry, construction and transportation industries lead the numbers when it comes to fatal claims to WorkSafeBC, but even the hotel, retail and business services industries see fatal incidents in their offices. This means we need to do better when working with employers, employees and safety organizations. Training and incident prevention needs to be stressed, so that 21st century workers in British Columbia do not risk serious harm when they enter the job market. The Day of Mourning is also a time to recognize those who were injured or suffered illness from work-related incidents. Aside from fatalities, 2011 saw more than 100,000 claims relating to health care, short-term and long-term disabilities. This accounts for almost three million lost days in the work force in just one year. Just as in the past, we will be commemorating the lives of our loved ones and co-workers in Vancouver along with the BC Federation of Labour, the Business Council of British Columbia and WorkSafeBC. This year, the ceremony will take place at Jack Poole Plaza in Vancouver, where the Line of Work dedication to B.C. workers is located. Available to view live on WorkSafeBC.com, the Olympic flame will be re-ignited so we can keep the flame burning in our hearts for those who have lost their lives in the workplace. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

More Viewpoints Assessment Campbell case serves as reminder should consider 33-year mine life Editor: Brian Battison insists the New Prosperity application is for a 20year mine. The TNG (Tsilhqotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in National Government) says it will almost certainly become a 33-year mine. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at some facts. In 2009 Taseko announced a 70 per cent increase in mineral reserves; 487 million tons to 830 million tons. It said this extends the life of the mine from 20 years to 33 years. These are the reserve figures that Taseko puts out to this day when discussing New Prosperity, even though its present application is for a 20-year mine. On its New Prosperity website Taseko says â&#x20AC;&#x153;an approval by Taseko to extract all (a 33-year mine) or a portion of added reserves is supplemental to those contemplated by this application and would, before moving ahead, consider a number of factors such as metal prices at the time â&#x20AC;Ś .â&#x20AC;? Scott Jones, vice president of engineering for Taseko Mines Ltd., has stated that it will be impossible to save Fish Lake if the mine goes to 33 years. At year 21 approximately half of the mineral reserves will still be in the ground. These are the facts. We agree with the TNG that TML will almost certainly apply for an extension that, according to its own expert, will destroy Fish lake. An assessment must consider the cumulative impacts of a 33year mine. David Williams, president Friends of the Nemaiah Valley

Editor: Â I recently read a CTV news article that may be of a concern to each person who may be looking to renovate property this coming season. Never mind the name of the individual in this case is former premier Gordon Campbell. The concern is that Mr. Campbell is being charged for something that he probably did not realize he was even responsible for. A workman working with three other roofers and three other carpenters inadvertently fell backwards through a skylight, dropping 18 feet to a tile floor in the

foyer below. After having been taken to the Vancouver General Hospital, he was only able to survive with his injuries until the following day. In recently released documents, WorkSafe BC has found Campbell in default because he had not designated one of the contractors working on the project as â&#x20AC;&#x153;prime contractor,â&#x20AC;? having failed to do this WorkSafe BC claims by default that Gordon Campbell is the prime contractor.Â According to WorkSafe BC, Mr. Campbell as prime contractor should have established a system of health and safety procedures to ensure

all workers on the project were in compliance. Investigators found that some individuals were not wearing site-specific fall protection, and that there was no co-ordinated fall protection plan in place regardless that there were seven individuals from differing employers working in this area. WorkSafe BC found only two lifelines and no guard rails in place. Although the home is not in Mr. Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and is actually in his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, according to WorkSafe BC, because co-ordination of the project was in Mr. Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name he is

considered the owner under the Workers Compensation Act. It seems that Campbell was not aware that he was required to have a written fall protection plan in place as the owner, prime contractor. This opinion is written to inform most of us of our possibly unexpected responsibilities in a situation similar to that which Mr. Campbell has found himself in. I do not know what penalties are involved. Mrs. Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house is located in Halfmoon Bay.Â Â Doug Wilson Williams Lake

First Nations drum song prayers bid quiet respect Editor: When First Nations people are drumming, the drum is the heart-

beat of â&#x20AC;&#x153;all the people.â&#x20AC;? The singing (is a prayer) for â&#x20AC;&#x153;all the people.â&#x20AC;? Singing is praying.

When â&#x20AC;&#x153;all peopleâ&#x20AC;? are praying we show respect by sitting or standing quietly, not talking, with due respect.

This practice is universal all over the world. Thank you, Chris Hornby, Williams Lake

I work in partnership with Joy Hennig who is also my mom. I started as her assistant in 1994 in the basement of her home. Being a single mother at the time, my mom set this up so I could have my little girl with me and not at daycare. In 1997 I moved my office to RE/ MAX and continued to work for her. By 1999 I also worked for the front desk reception part time until getting my real estate license in November 2010.

A Wild Horse race for a reason Liz Twan photo

They call this event the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wildâ&#x20AC;? Horse Race for a real reason, as this team of wild horse racers, members of sponsor-team Mount Polley, were discovering firsthand on Sunday afternoon as they endeavored to get a saddle on this wild horse. They were competing in the opening event of the rodeo in the final performance of the 2012 BCRA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo. With their lead man (horsewhisper) down and out it was obviously time for a new plan of action and some different strategy. For Indoor Rodeo results, see Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tribune.

Youth learn new skills at soccer camp Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer For 121 Williams Lake youth, a chance to learn the game of soccer at a recent clinic was a welcome experience. Bruce Baptiste, who co-ordinated the soccer camp through the Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society, said the camp was funded by the Aboriginal Sports, Recreation and Physical Activity Partners Council, and was geared toward First Nations youth. He then added the expertise of members and coaches from the Williams Lake Youth Soccer Association to help run the camp, held in the Columneetza secondary gymnasium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids had a lot of fun,â&#x20AC;? Baptiste said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big thing, though, for some of them it was their introduction to soccer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially for some of the little ones.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The head instructors were Brian Hansen, Rob Tazelaar and Sean Glanville.â&#x20AC;? The camp was for kids aged four to 17. The Saturday session, Baptiste said, was attended by 70 players. On Sunday, 50 more kids showed up to play.

The role of administrative professionals, formerly known as secretaries, seemed doomed to disappear with the development of new technologies.

The first â&#x20AC;&#x153;adminsâ&#x20AC;? date from before the birth of Christ. Often called scribes or clerks, these admins were exclusively men. This occupation was still a male dominated area even when stenography first appeared in the nineteenth century. In fact, it was only with the invention of the typewriter that women began to enter the scene, at the end of the 1800s. During the First World War, women began playing a much more significant role in offices. Often confined to such positions as stenographer and typist, these women worked hard and were known to be loyal, discreet, and efficient. Employing women at this time had a distinct advantage for employers: they were paid lower salaries than men! Secretaries eventually began to occupy an increasingly important role in business, so much so that some women became administrative assistants well before that title became popular. At the beginning of the 1980s, as computer technology infiltrated offices, many believed that the secretarial profession would fade away. Instead, the occupation took a new direction, and admins today are specialists in new work tools, office management, and interior and exterior communications. Women still account for 97 percent of administrative professionals. Celebrated since 1952, Administrative Professionals Week is one of the largest workplace observances around the world. It is the perfect occasion to promote the profession and honour the professionalism of these key players in our companies and organizations.

Thank you to a phenomenal team! YOUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;RE THE BEST!!! Thanks for taking great care of our patients and for making our office a wonderful place to work. From

Marie Sharpe Elementary School students Elias Boyd, Grade 2, Savannah Dick, Grade 5, and Brayden Sill, Grade 6, are ready to receive your children’s book donations for the Bright Red Bookshelf program, which puts books into the hands of children and families at bright red bookshelves set up in various locations around the city.

Bright Red Bookshelf springboard to learning Claire Schreiner Special to The Tribune Dr. Suess summed up the importance of reading: “The more that you read, the more things you will know. “The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.” The Bright Red Bookshelf program strives to allow every child to own a book and to keep books circulating so that “no

children’s book is ever lonely.” Having books available at home and being read to regularly are significant factors in a child’s educational success. With this objective in mind, the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy started the Bright Red Bookshelf program in Williams Lake in 2009 after a successful introduction in the 100 Mile House area.

DOLLAR DEALS! Have something to sell? Sell it in The Tribune Classifieds One item valued under $400 - $4.00 per issue under $300 - $3.00 per issue under $200 - $2.00 per issue under $100 - $1.00 per issue (maximum 3 lines)

In 2011, more than 4,000 books were circulated through the nine Bright Red Bookshelf locations in Williams Lake. We rely on donations of gently used children’s books from the community to keep the bookshelves full. The April Book Drive is our most visible effort to collect books and we hope to see last year’s book drive total of 3,000-plus books, surpassed.

The Bright Red Bookshelf program is international in scope, with locations even as remote as a small Alaskan island, but all have the same objectives to match books with children at no cost to the family. Support our red bookshelves by donating children’s books at elementary schools, the public library, Heartland Toyota, Curves or bookshelf locations in the city.

WL library showing Wiebo’s War April 25

Intricacies of groundwater demonstrated

The Williams Lake library will show the film Wiebo’s War on Wednesday, April 25 starting at 7 p.m. in the library program room. Wiebo’s War is a feature documentary that tells the story of a man’s epic battle

with the oil and gas industry. In the 1990s, natural gas wells were drilled near the home of Reverend Wiebo Ludwig and his clan in Alberta. Soon after, livestock began to die, and the Christian community

started experiencing health problems, including a series of miscarriages. After five years of being ignored by the oil and gas industry, Ludwig decided to fight for his land and his family’s survival.

Are you a caring person? Do you have something more to offer?

Alpaca manure jump starts garden The Potato House in downtown Williams Lake will have some special soil to help establish a new sustainable garden. Last week a crew of volunteers headed out to Dr. Doug Magnowski and his family’s home overlooking Chimney Valley where they picked up a few truckloads of alpaca manure. “This is the best health and vitality for your garden to be had in town,” says Potato House president Mary Forbes who watched over the event. With rain threatening and Dr. Doug Magnowski at the helm of a skid-steer the Potato House was pro-

vided with truck loads of weed-free amazing alpaca manure, which was quickly corrected by 15-year-old Madison Magnowski to be in the future called “Health and Vitality.” “Due to the wonderful nature of the adorable alpaca stomach, their waste comes out weed free and composts beautifully,” Forbes says. “Lucky for us, the Magnowskis have already been composting it for seven years.” Being pregnant, Forbes says she left the heavy lifting to Hayes Zirnhelt, Pierre Mayette, Chris Hornby and Jesse Hohert who donated their time, trucks and

strong backs to the loading and movement of the manure. “The Potato House would like to thank Dr. Magnowski and his family Candice, Madison and Mackenzie for their good humour and wonderful manure soon to be admired for its growing goodness at the Potato House,” Forbes says. If you are interested in acquiring some “health and vitality” for their gardens can e-mail the potato house wlpotatohouse@yahoo.ca and have “health and vitality” in the subject heading of the e-mail or call/ txt Forbes at 250-8558443.
