Proudly serving Williams Lake and the Cariboo-Chilcotin since 1930

Candlelight vigil Friday A candlelight vigil will be held at the Williams Lake Secondary School Friday night to honour the women who were struck by a vehicle while crossing Carson Drive early Sunday morning. The vigil — organized by the Thompson Rivers University student council, BSN nursing program students, and faculty — will be held at 8 p.m. at the WLSS parking lot before proceeding to the Carson Drive memorial site. Candles will be provided. The vigil honours 20-year-old Rayel MacDonald, who died at the scene, and her friend Alysha Mullett, also 20, who sustained lifethreatening injuries but is now in stable condition. Journals for MacDonald and Mullett are available at the TRU library for “thoughts, love, sympathy, hope, and healing for anyone who wishes to share,” says vigil organizers. The women attended TRU’s nursing program together.

The kindergarten and Grade 1 classes joined Columneetza’s Grade 9/10 woodworking class to create birdhouses to take home.

The Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services is seeking the public’s help in identifying a possible witness to the fatal motor vehicle collision on Carson Drive in Williams Lake April 22. The RCMP says the investigation has revealed that an unknown vehicle had travelled through the crash scene seconds before the collision occurred. The police would like to speak with the driver and occupants of that vehicle. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP or Crime Stoppers. Rayel MacDonald, 20, and Alysha Mullett, 20, were struck by a truck on Carson Drive in Williams Lake at approximately 2:15 a.m. Sunday. McDonald died at the scene and Mullett was transported to Vancouver General Hospital with life-threatening injuries but is now in stable condition.

Teachers out of grad ceremonies Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer

COMMUNITY A17 New play hits stage next week.

VOL. 82. No. 33

Last week 73 per cent of teachers in B.C. voted to ratify a new job action plan which includes the withdrawal of participation in extra curricular activities, says Joan Erb, Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers Association president. “Teachers do not make this decision lightly but we feel there is no other avenue to convince the government that Bill 22 is both

unconstitutional and undemocratic,” Erb says. “Teachers are neither willing to accept the demise of their collective agreement nor their constitutional right to collectively bargain class size and composition. “It is with great regret we withdraw our volunteering but we have nothing else left as leverage.” She says the withdrawal from extra curricular activities starts immediately but she does expect

that some CCTA members will choose to continue with extra curricular activities started. She says teachers are also filling out report cards for the reporting period March 1 to April 15 in keeping with requirements of Bill 22 passed on March 16. “Since Bill 22 passed March 16 there was an expectation that teachers complete a report for April,” Erb says. However, Erb says teachers will neither be participating in the graduation cer-

emonies or volunteering for the Dry Grad activities. Superintendent of Schools Diane Wright says extra-curricular activities where a financial commitment is in place will continue, for example field trips or theatrical productions. “I am working with secondary principals on details, but graduation ceremonies will go ahead with some modifications,” Wright says. “Dry grad goes ahead with parental organization.”

Highway construction continues after delays Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Work on the 148 Mile to Likely Road project will continue this construction season with completion in the fall of 2012, says the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The highway project commenced in May 2010, but fell behind schedule, requiring a shutdown for the

winter. “The ministry continues to closely monitor the contractor’s performance against the schedule,” a ministry spokesperson told the Tribune, adding the contractor has been issued financial penalties for not meeting the September 2011 contract completion date. However, quality will not be compromised, the ministry insists. The highway project is the last of

18 projects to be completed under Phase 1 of the Cariboo Connector expansion and is not part of the recently announced funding of $200 million over five years for Phase 2 of the Cariboo Connector, which will add another 30 kilometres of four laning to the corridor. LIberal MLA Donna Barnett says the project’s delay is one of those things that happens from time to time.

“I do know that I want to personally thank the ministry and the public for their patience. People have been great. I drive up and down that highway all the time and people are cautious and obeying the speed limit and taking extra care,” Barnett says. “There’s no excuse for this, other than the contractor did not fulfill his contract. Everyone is concerned and upset, but it will be completed.”

WEEKLY

MORTGAGE SENSE Qualify for a Mortgage Lenders look at five factors, called the 5 C’s of Credit, when qualifying a mortgage: 1. Character: Such things as your employment tenure, your current living arrangements, your business experience, and even your educational background may be reviewed. The lenders want to see what life choices you’ve made and if you will likely take your loan obligation seriously. 2. Capital: How much of your own money are you investing (your down payment)? Statistics show that the more you contribute to your purchase the greater likelihood there is that you’ll maintain the loan. 3. Capacity: Do you earn enough money to be able to repay the loan along with your other debt obligations? Lenders look at your gross annual income versus your debt obligations to determine your debt servicing ability. 4. Credit: What is your credit history? Lenders look at how you’ve handled past credit. Have you made your debt repayments on time? Lenders want to see that you haven’t abused the credit you’ve been given. 5. Collateral: This is the security for the mortgage. Does the property that you’re purchasing have value? Lenders want to see that it’s in a good location, close to amenities, has been well maintained, and has resale potential. These categories are guidelines for the lenders to use but there are exceptions! So it’s always best to consult a mortgage broker about your own unique situation.

Pay it forward today Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer For the third year in a row, Williams Lake is being encouraged to pay it forward today, April 26. Since 2010, Canadian Mental Health Association — Cariboo Chilcotin Branch has been involved with the day and the city has been on board officially proclaiming Pay it Forward Day. The way to participate is to do small random acts of kindness, says Darlene Doskoch, employment and social programs manager at CMHA in Williams Lake. “We’ve got some activities planned, but I’m trying not to talk about it too much because essentially it’s supposed to be spontaneous,” Doskoch says, but divulges that she has been collaborating with some local schools, service groups and other community leaders for some planned events. People can expect that there will be people on the streets of Williams Lake trying to make everyone else’s day. Pay it Forward Day is always held the fourth Thursday of April each year. Occasionally someone will suggest it should be done more often, to which Doskoch says absolutely, but the day itself is actually the start of another year. “It’s a reminder that people can do pay it forward stuff, but there’s no reason that we can’t do those things every day of the year. It’s a kick-off I guess you could say.” In past years, hundreds of people have participated. One year students from Maranatha Christian School were on the street playing music and handing out cookies and coffee. Columneetza

high school students cleaned the old Poplar Glade school grounds and Cataline elementary was cleaning the dairy fields. At Marie Sharpe elementary a mom brought in fruit to let the staff know how much they were appreciated. A student was downtown giving away free hugs and cookies. “It was really delightful to see. You hope that people will catch on and to see that what they did was heartwarming,” Doskoch recalls, adding Williams Lake’s that type of community, even though it gets a bad rap. In fact, Doskoch returned to Williams Lake after living away for more than 20 years. “When we arrived here in 2005, I had people coming up and welcoming me to the community,” she says, adding Williams Lake was the first municipality in Canada to proclaim Pay it Forward Day. Doskoch has small, business-sized cards available for people to use if they are planning to participate in the day. There are boxes on one side where people can tick off a random act of kindness and then forward the card to the person they’ve done the act for. They include suggestions like returning a grocery cart, buying someone a gift, paying for a stranger’s bus ticket or helping someone in need. “It’s the card that gets passed forward,” she explains. The cards are available at CMHA, and Doskoch has been handing them out. She also says they are available to download at www.payitforwardday. com.

Recruitment more difficult: doctor Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer With new bylaws in place, recruiting physicians from other countries has become more difficult for B.C. hospitals, says Dr. Glenn Fedor of Williams Lake. In the past, physicians from other countries wrote the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. outlining training and experience, and if their credentials fit the criteria, they were invited to apply for a temporary licence to come to Canada. They would still have to write exams to be evaluated, their training would be evaluated, and if they passed the exams they would be hired. Saskatchewan and Alberta changed that and opened the doors to physicians coming from almost everywhere. “There’s a lot of talk

that Canada is a little bit racist at times when you think we accept doctors from countries like South Africa, England, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. Everyone else was basically not recognized,” Fedor explains. When they moved to open it up, Alberta and Saskatchewan stipulated that all general practitioners had to complete a three-month supervised internship within a teaching hospital. Saskatchewan pays the doctors, and someone has to pay the hospital for providing the internship and supervision, to the tune of around $30,000 to $40,000. “Someone takes the doctor on, evaluates him, sees what he does, and makes a decision that they are good enough for the Canadian system,” Fedor says.

As of Feb. 1, 2012, a similar system is in place in B.C. By changing a bylaw, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. has opened its doors to accept doctors from all over the world, but the hitch is there is no money from the health authorities in B.C. to pay for the training or to pay the doctors while they participate in a three-month internship. “Who’s going to come here and be supervised in a teaching hospital for three months and make no money? It’s really tough,” Fedor says. There are, however, exceptions to the new rules. Some countries have allowed the Canadian College of Family Physicians to audit and review teaching programs for family doctors in other countries and then

doctors coming from those countries do not have to go through the internship program. Fedor says so far Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., Sweden, Ireland and England have let their programs be reviewed. “South Africa said they weren’t going to let that happen. They said we’re stealing their doctors all the time. Why doesn’t the Canadian system train its own doctors? The last thing they want is for Canada to say the South African system is great and let their doctors in,” Fedor says. As a result, South African doctors are being treated no differently than doctors from places that did not opt for the review. As long as there’s no funding in B.C. for the internship training, doctors coming from other

countries like South Africa or Romania will have to go to Alberta or Saskatchewan first and then maybe try coming to work in B.C. later. Fedor points out that aside from a change in the bylaws, there has also been international pressure asking why Canada depends so heavily on foreign medical grads. “There’s a ridiculous number of Canadian students studying medicine in other countries,” he says. He also thinks B.C. was forced to change its rules because of the changes made by its neighbouring provinces. “It makes it difficult when the province next to you has totally different rules.” The unfortunate thing, he adds, is that the rules were changed, but no funding was put in place.

THRIFT

Waiting times worsen, IHA says Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Waits at the lab, diagnostic imaging, ultrasound services, and recruitment continue to pose ongoing challenges for Interior Health in Williams Lake, said IH acute health services administrator Allison Ruault during a presentation at the regular council meeting held April 17. Waits at the lab have been longer and bigger than she’s ever seen, Ruault said. “One of the things they’ve seen since we

put in the new computer system, which is really working well, is that it does take longer, so they are working to correct that.” Williams Lake is getting some additional staff to address the problems with the computer system and some of the general work load. A slight increase in a lab technician and an increase in laboratory assistance, and the possibility of extended hours, including Saturdays will hopefully help, Ruault said. The lab has had a re-

structuring across the authority. Each site used to have a manager for the lab, but that is changing; Carol McIntyre, who was the lab manager in Williams Lake, will now be responsible for overseeing lab services in Williams Lake, 100 Mile House and Merritt. Diagnostic imaging has lost a technician and while some applications have been submitted, in the meantime coverage has been provided on a contract basis. The hospital foundation trust continues to

raise funds toward a digital mammography machine and has raised approximately $200,000. “Their next fundraiser is the Taste of BC Wine Tasting event on May 5,” Ruault said. For ultrasound, some patients have been travelling to Quesnel where there are three ultrasound technicians, while others who need ultrasound more urgently have been covered locally when a contracted technician is in place. When it comes to recruitment, six new nursing grads were hired

recently from Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake campus and Quesnel, which has helped to “reasonably” stabilize the operating room and obstetrics. “The emergency and intensive care unit are still an issue and we are critically short three permanent positions.” The hospital is without an internist on staff, but a pediatrician has been hired from South Africa who will be arriving at the end of May. The community has been without one for six years.

Register your bike, protect your bike Bicycle owners are being encouraged to register their bikes through the city’s bike protection program. Cyclists can complete a registration form including a photogram of their bicycle. The owner retains the information, and in the event the bike

is lost or stolen, he or she can bring the form to the city’s bylaw services department. The city says this will assist the bylaw department in identifying bikes and owners, reuniting owners with their lost or stolen bicycles. Registration forms

are available at www. williamslake.ca, city hall, and local bicycle stores. There is no fee for the bike protection program. “Bicycles are a high theft item in Williams Lake, and the city wants to reduce thefts,” says Coun. Laurie Walters,

The government report concerning timber supply has certainly generated headlines, but a declining timber supply is nothing new to the Interior â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is why the three beetle action coalitions, including our Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition, were created years ago to work towards economic diversity and creating jobs. This issue is a serious one, and we need certainty and clarity around the potential job loss numbers in the report, and we need to know all of the facts so we can work with the province and industry to find a way forward. Whatever mitigation measures are taken need to conform to our communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s values. The city obviously has a huge interest in the timber supply, and the economic impact forestry has on Williams Lake. We definitely will be monitoring this situation in the coming months. It also highlights the importance of New Prosperity and other potential mining operations in our area. Finally, congratulations to the more than 60 graduates from Cariboo Chilcotin Aboriginal Training Employment Centre programs. I was honoured to be invited to the awards ceremony last week, and I heard stories of young people already finding employment and launching their careers. Bravo! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a war in the woods In the Prince George timber supply area, the pre beetle annual allowable cut was 9.3 million cubic metres. The current annual allowable cut is 12.5 million cubic metres and the mid term timber supply projection is 6.4 million cubic metres per year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is possible to increase mid-term timber supply to 9.2 million cubic metres per year by removing the Prince George old growth order. This increase is projected to maintain 1,915 more direct, indirect and induced person years of employment. Alternatively, it is possible to increase mid-term timber supply to 8.9 million cubic metres per year without affecting the old growth order, if licensees are able to harvest stands where the minimum volume is 140 m3/ha and access the entire timber harvest land base.â&#x20AC;? So states the confidential mid-term timber supply report presented to the Minister of Forests in February 2012. While dire in its predictions for timber supply in the Interior, these predictions really arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything new. When the mountain pine beetle epidemic was raging, cut levels were elevated throughout the Interior to salvage as much wood as possible before it became unmerchantable. At some point, the cut levels would have to come back down. In addition, a report was published about six years ago that suggested cut levels would have to come down to

below pre-beetle infestation levels once the beetle-killed wood could not longer be harvested. The question then, is what really have we done to prepare ourselves for the reduction in cut levels? Not much, it seems. It appears that local politicians are now scrambling to try to keep cut levels elevated. On the block are old growth forests, viewscapes, and anything else that can be cut to help keep cut levels elevated. And, it appears the volume-based versus area-based tenures debate will re-surface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The analysis indicated that without mitigation, timber supply would decline by 67 per cent in the Lakes timber supply area, 51 per cent in Quesnel timber supply area, 32 per cent in Prince George timber supply area and 32 per cent in Williams Lake timber supply area compared to prebeetle timber supply levels. Regionally these reductions would lead to a timber supply that could support about 53 per cent less employment in the area than pre-beetle,â&#x20AC;? states the report. The report also outlines several ways in which government can involve communities in a dialogue about what is happening. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known for a decade that this was going to happen, dialogue should have begun long before now. Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaction is likely to ignite another war in the woods and that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help anyone. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bill Phillips

fter years of trying to get the provincial government to start planning for the inevitable reduction in timber supply in our region, it looks like we might have finally made a breakthrough. Why? Because some very concerned public servants released documents which revealed how deep and soon timber shortfalls might be realized, and the lengths the current government was willing to go to prevent any mill closures.Â I thank whome v e r MLA m a d e Musings t h e s e Bob Simpson documents available, because they forced their political masters to put all the documents up on their website for everyone to see. You can also view them on my website at www.bobsimpsonmla.ca. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never understood why both provincial and local government leaders were not willing to admit and start planning for the possibility of a worst case scenario in our region: timber shortages, major mill closures, and job losses. Planning for this, while trying to do whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to mitigate it without putting our long term forest health at risk, would have demonstrated true leadership, instead of the boosterism weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced thus far. Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s documents confirm that sometime between 2014 and 2020 we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough timber available in our immediate area to keep all our mills running as they do today. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figure out what that means and how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to adapt to this scenario. Between mining, agriculture, tourism, and the emerging bioeconomy, we should be able to create replacement jobs, if not grow job opportunities in our region. Being honest about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facing us is the only way to uncork the creative juices that will help us plan our way through the upcoming transition. My hope is that rather than continuing to pretend we can avoid any mill closures, the provincial government will now enable us to roll up our sleeves and start figuring out what our realistic options are. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Community depends on industry Question of the week Editor: Â Monica Lamb-Yorskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent article discussing the Tsilhqotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in National Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position, as expressed in this article, by spokesperson Joe Alphonse regarding the proposed Prosperity project raises questions of deep concern. The community of the greater Williams Lake area, while desiring to offer as much support as possible to the needs and wants of the Chilcotin First Nations communities in achieving their desired goals, the goals of the First Nations community must at the same time be balanced by the needs of the greater community at large. The greater community of Williams Lake depends on attracting industry and development to provide needed employment and economic stability in this area. The question many in the community are asking is: say we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the mine development, what

is the TNG offering to this community to offset the loss of this mine development? The existing health facilities, service availability, and shopping environment that we each, including First Nations, currently enjoy in this Williams Lake area is made possible by existing and future industry and employment opportunities in this area. If not resource development, does the TNG have something in mind as an alternate to New Prosperity? If the TNG does have a substantial alternate source for practical economic development and job creation, to gain support for the TNG position regarding this mine, the TNG should be boldly making its plans for such alternate economic development available to the greater community at the earliest possible time. Alphonse has indicated that he is prepared to seek legal action, often a process that bodes best for lawyers. In the final analysis the

judge, listening to a raucous argument, generally speaking, arbitrates a democratic decision, often with no clear winners. The question is, is Alphonseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position mainly to cause further delay to the New Prosperity project by tying the process up in some sort of complicated court action in the hope that Taseko will just eventually walk away from the project? Bankrupting Taseko could simply mean somebody else taking over the project with even less public interest and or environmental concern and often hardens proponentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; resolve. Any process involving First Nations communities in an extensive court battle could jeopardize community relations and the sustainability of services in this greater area while at the same time deprive Alphonseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own people of necessary and much needed financial resources.

Lottery story will promote gambling Editor: I was watching the good news story about the rags to riches single mom in Kelowna who won $1 million on the lottery. Her story is one of struggling for the last 20 years and having to put her house up for sale because she could no longer afford the

mortgage. If this was the case, what is she doing going out and buying $20 lottery tickets? Has she been struggling for 20 years and then couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make her mortgage payments because all her money goes into gambling? Is her second home Chances Gaming Centre? This story will

cause a whole bunch of desperate people to waste even more of their money, chasing that illusive prize. Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t BCTV bring out the glaring problems in this story? I bet the lottery corporation is grateful for all of the free advertising. Alan Trenzek Williams Lake

NEWS Monica Lamb-Yorski photo Terra Ridge residents Dave and June Manzer, Lucy Hauk and Ralph Kohnke are not happy with smog they see coming from nearby industrial businesses.

Smoggy skies irk residents Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer When Dave Manzer looks down across the valley from his home at Terra Ridge every morning he notices a blue smog of wood smoke trapped at low altitude. The smog is either creeping toward town or down the lake, depending on which way the air is moving, he says, While Manzer alleges the Pinnacle Pellet plant is the biggest culprit because it is “overloading the smoke emission system,” he also points to diesel engine emissions from the CN yard and other industry as adding to the problem. “People are so used to sawmills and mud flying around that they don’t seem to complain about it,” Manzer says, adding he wishes more people would speak out. “There is a way to prevent the irritating smoke by cutting back the production rate or improve the exhaust system to eliminate these harmful emissions. This plant was quiet and clean when it first started up but it has been enlarged at least twice since then,” Manzer says. He says he also sees smoke emitting from local sawmills, but says he rarely sees blue smoke coming from them. “It’s the blue smoke that I’m mostly concerned about. It’s wood smoke and it’s fine particle,” Manzer explains. One of his neighbours, Lucy Hauk, says her deck often has ash and chips on it. “It’s so light that it can move up here quickly,” Hauk says, adding she thinks the light industry zone has exceeded its limitations and is now

heavy industry. Pinnacle’s corporate safety and environmental officer Lorne Davies says the company is operating in compliance with its permits from the Ministry of Environment. When there is blue smoke, it’s a result of when the processes are changed or the plant is shut down and started up again. “There’s always going to be a transition when we’re changing temperatures. But that’s not saying we’re the only supplier. In the morning there’s blue smoke sitting there from the whole valley and there are other sources, whether it’s the sawmills. I can show you pictures of blue smoke coming from the west,” Davies says. The fact the blue smoke sits directly in front of the pellet plant doesn’t mean it’s just coming from the facility, he explains. Davies points out that on a recent morning he drove into Williams Lake and saw blue smoke hovering in the valley and immediately wondered what was going on at the plant. As he drove over the overpass he saw blue smoke “puking” out of the diesel locomotives in the nearby CN yard. Retired CN employee Ralph Kohnke also lives at Terra Ridge and says the problem with the locomotives is the fact they idle all night and the carbon builds up. Kohnke explains that a battery would solve the problem, but it’s an expensive option. So far there are no federal requirements for a permit related to emissions from diesel locomotives in Canada, but that will change some time this year. Transport Canada is currently developing new

emissions regulations under the Railway Safety Act to reduce air-pollutant emissions from the Canadian rail sector. “These regulations will be aligned with those of the United States and emission standards for nitrogen oxide, particulate matter, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and smoke,” says Maryse Durette, media relations with Transport Canada, adding it is expected the proposed Canadian Locomotive Emissions Regulations will be finalized in 2012. When it comes to Pinnacle, Davies says the company isn’t perfect, but works hard at its street cleaning and watering programs. “We’ve got a road-dust management plan where we’ve put up screens to make sure our fibres are

not blowing around. We actually even sweep the parking lot of Canadian Tire because they’re our neighbour,” Davies says. The other day he heard someone was told a sewer smell up at Prosperity Ridge was due to Pinnacle. Davies explains there is nothing in the plant’s process that smells like sewer. There is also additional pollution control on the scrubber stack at the plant. In the past, the company has collected dust fall in canisters placed around the perimeter of the plant site. The plant is awaiting approval to install a $10,000 monitor on the roof of the fire hall. Manzer says at this time last year locals signed a petition that prompted Pinnacle to eradicate some noise issues.

Local competitors nab national titles Liz Twan photo

Liz Twan Special to The Tribune Three local college students have had very successful Canadian College Rodeo finals. Earlier this spring they all wound up successful 2011/2012 collegiate rodeo seasons as Canadian Champions. Cody Braaten from 150 Mile House won the Tie Down Roping, the only competitor to rope all three calves at the finals (Canadian Intercollegiate Rodeo Association) which was held at the Edmonton Expo Centre on March 29, 30 and 31; it was a well-attended three-day rodeo finals with more than 7,000 rodeo fans turning out to watch the top 10 intercollegiate rodeo contestants in each event make a run for the title.Â Â Braaten, who attends Lakeland College, qualified for the finals in two events, also making the top 10 in the team roping (with partner, Tanner Ruttan) where he placed fifth over all. His title in the tie down was won with patience and consistency â&#x20AC;&#x201D; never the fastest in a performance. Braaten, however, just made three solid runs, clocking good times in each that led to the overall win. In go-round one, Thursday, March 29, he tied his first calf in 12.5 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to split second/third in the go-round, then on Friday night (March 30) he was just a tad slower, tying his calf in a time of 14.2, which earned him fourth position on the day. On Championship Sunday (so known by the rodeo contestants who realize that the title is theirs, to win or lose) Braaten made his best run of the weekend, just what he needed to secure the overall Tie Down Championship title, posting an 11.3 second-time, which held for good for third place. He finished with 335 points and the Canadian Collegiate Tie Down title. While Braaten was racking up points in the tie down roping, another pair of local students, both women (sisters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were making noise in the female side of the competition, not just a little noise, more like a thunderous racket. Canadian College Rodeo is probably wondering when they are going to see the last of the Schuk sisters, siblings from Tatla Lake who have risen to the top continually for a number of seasons on the Canadian College Rodeo circuit. The reign began with the elder sisters, Brittany and Patricia, back in the early 2000s and has continued to this day. Folks will recall that adversity struck the family in 2005 when Patricia (already a Lakeland-NAIT rodeo team member) and Brittany (a rookie) were involved in a serious accident when

Cody Braaten of 150 Mile House (shown here at the BCRA finals in Quesnel in September 2011) won the tie-down roping event at the Canadian College Rodeo finals. He was the only competitor to rope all three calves at the finals.

Monday, April 30 WL Ladies Soccer Association kick around and registration driving home to B.C. on a collegebreak. After a year off to recover/ recuperate from life-altering, permanent injuries, incredibly both sisters returned to college and rodeo competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sisters had to go through a lot of physiotherapy,â&#x20AC;? Holly Schuk says in a March 2012 story in the Vancouver Sun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Patricia) had to re-learn horseback riding because her balance changed (she lost a leg in the accident) â&#x20AC;ŚÂ and (Brittany) had to overcome a lot of broken bones and a lot of muscle and nerve damage.â&#x20AC;? Holly, at 21, is the youngest of the two college competitor-sisters and this season was her first as a five-event competitor (she qualified in four for the finals: pole bending, goat tying, breakaway roping and team roping (with partner, Brittany) while sister Brittany contested in two events, the breakaway and the team roping. By the time it was all said and done, the rest of the field was probably tired of hearing the announcer talking about the young women from Tatla Lake, B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both of whom compete for Lakeland College (Vermillion, AB). Brittany brought home the Canadian Intercollegiate Breakaway Roping title. She roped her break-

away calves in great times; 3.5 seconds for third spot in the opening round, 3.4 seconds for second in the second go-round and 2.7 seconds to take first in the third/ final go-round to secure the overall championship. In the team roping, Brittany and Holly took â&#x20AC;&#x153;no-timesâ&#x20AC;? in rounds one and two, before posting an 11.3 time for third place in round three. In the meantime, younger sister Holly was quietly racking up points she competed in her four events. In the pole bending she placed eighth, seventh and ninth in the rounds, respectively, but had much better results in the goat tying, finishing 10th in round one (13.3), second in go-two (9.6) and fourth in the final go-round (10.0). Ka-ching, ka-ching â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those all around cowgirl points are adding up. Some unfortunate luck dogged her in the roping events, as Holly took two no-times to begin the Breakaway Roping but rebounded in round three with a solid run of 3.6 seconds to win fourth, more points to add along with the thirdplace team roping placing in round three (no-times in the previous two go-rounds). When all was said and done, Hollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible efforts had paid off in the form of one of

the most coveted rodeo titles, that of Canadian Intercollegiate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; All Around Cowgirl for 2011-2012. As well as being successful in the rodeo arena, Holly excels in the classroom. She is a graduate (environmental science and reclamation) and is currently in the Bachelor of Applied Environmental Management program. When she completes her post-secondary schooling, she has plans for a career in the oil/gas industry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reclaiming land to return it to its original state after exploration/development. She has been awarded scholarships for rodeo accomplishments and scholastic achievements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first year that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve competed in all five events (during regular season), last year I only competed in four. I think I did quite well,â&#x20AC;? Holly told the Sun. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a massive (and modest) understatement! Congratulations, Holly (allaround cowgirl), Brittany (breakaway roping champion) and Cody (tie down roping) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Canadian College Champions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; your community and your families are very proud of your accomplishments and the positive recognition that those achievements bring both you personally and the region in general.

Derby Girls to take on Misfits Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer There’ll be adrenalin rushing, bodies jamming, and quad roller skates flying when the Lake City Derby Girls host a bout this Saturday at the Cariboo Memorial Complex. In arena 1, the Williams Lake team will play against the Misfits of Mayhem from Silvan Lake, Alta. Spectators can expect “edge-of-the-seat type of thrills and spills,” team member Toni Healy (who goes by the track name of Tuesday) says. Healy joined the team two years ago and says she likes the camaraderie, and the game’s ability to work out frustrations. “It’s not like your ‘70s derby where the moves were kind of choreographed. You still had to be a good athlete in the ‘70s, but today the hits are real. They’re not choreographed.” Healy has always liked the rough-and-tumble type of sports. She skydives, rides horses fast, rides a motorbike and loves to drive a car. The adrenalin of the

sport was the draw, she recalls. “I saw a little poster two years ago in Boitanio Mall and thought, ‘roller derby, wow, that looks like a blast,’ so I phoned the phone number, got information and three days later I started. It was awesome.” Describing herself as the oldest player on the team, Healy says the players range from age 23 to 47 and come in all shapes and sizes. “We’ve got little, tiny girls that are five foot and about two pounds soaking wet to the largest at 180 pounds. Some girls are even six-foot-two,” she says. And the track names are fun and include MaraNator, Crack-Her-Box, Bombshell Gizmo, MelA-Licious, Foxy McMuff, Trauma Queen, Kelly Kapow and RedRum to name a few. In order to be on the team, women have to be at least 18. Protective gear in roller derby is a must, including the option of padded shorts that protect the tail bone. Watching films on

old derby games always leaves Healy shaking her head in disbelief because the players are not wearing any protective gear. “Oh my goodness, that’s crazy,” she says of the concept of playing without the gear. “Those padded shorts come in handy if you take a spill and land hard,” Healy explains. Players from Kamloops and Prince George will be on loan for the game, because the local team’s numbers are

down this season. It will be the first time the locals have played the Misfits of Mayhem. Healy says a bout runs about two hours and consist of a series of two-minute-jams. Groups of five players form a pack. One’s the jammer — the one who makes the points — and the other four are called blockers. There’s a head blocker, called the pivot. Fourteen or 15 girls switch up to participate in each jam. There are two

packs on at once. The jammer goes through the pack of the two teams once, and when they come around the second time, that’s when they make the points. “Each opposing player they pass gains them a point. The lead jammer can either stop the game now or keep going to make the points,” Healy explains. Full of praise for lead coach Manny Haurez and assistant coach Mr. K, Healy describes them as “awesome.” Both take the team through tough drills — 25 laps in five minutes, which ensures the players are in good shape. “We practice hip checks. You’re not allowed to use your elbows in this game because if you do you’ll get penalties and too many penalties you’ll be kicked out of the bout.” The players jump, weave in and out, it’s wonderful, Healy says. “If a girl falls in front of you, sometimes you’ve gotta jump to get out of the way so you’re not falling on top of her.” See DOORS Page A16

SPORTS

Doors open at 6 p.m. Continued From Page A13 Saturday evening’s bout will consist of a halftime show featuring local belly dancers and tribal dancers and a game, yet to be determined.

In order to play roller derby players have to become patched, which means enduring a twohour physical skills exam. Players have to demonstrate that they have specific skills needed to

play the sport. There’s also a written exam on the rules of the game. November each year the lakecity team begins practicing twice a week at Nesika and Marie Sharpe elementary schools.

make things better

Most of the team members would like to practice more, but there isn’t really a space in the city where they can do that. Once the ice comes off the arenas at the complex, the team starts prac-

ticing there, where there are painted lines on the arenas for the team. Last time the team hosted a bout upwards of 600 people attended the game and Healy is hoping there’ll be a large crowd again.

After all, since the last time, people have been asking when the next bout is going to happen. Doors open at 6 p.m. Whistle blows at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance at Cariboo GM, the Overlander Pub or

the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, or $14 at the door. Kids 12 and under may attend for free. Ticket stubs should be kept, because they will be needed to attend the after party at the Overlander Pub, Healy adds.

Back stage costume designers Sharon Hoffman (left) and Christa Obergfell try on a number of necklaces to find just the right one to suit southern belle Chick, played by Stacey Poirier, in the 1970s era play Crimes of the Heart on stage at the Studio Theatre starting next week.

Crimes of the Heart on stage next week Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Registered nurse Colleen Crossley has been involved in the Studio Theatre for many years now, but never before this year has she directed a play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was on my bucket list,â&#x20AC;? says Crossley who is directing Beth Henleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crimes of the Heart, a dark comedy that starts its twoweek run next week and will also be the Studio Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entry in the Central Interior Zone Drama Festival taking place in the lakecity later in May. Set in the early 1970s in an old Mississippi family home, the play brings three sisters, with three very different lives, together as their grandfather is dying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With some good old fashioned family dynamics, the sisters laugh and cry together as they rediscover each other and their true strength as a family,â&#x20AC;? Crossley says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The underlying themes of domestic violence and abuse are balanced with the naturally funny things that occur in the relationships they share.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play opens with the youngest sister Babe (Kalysta Szauer) having just shot her husband because she â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like his looks.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Middle sister Meg (Kathy MacDonald) comes home to find everything the same and everything different.Â The oldest and long-suffering

sister Lenny (Juli Harland) is coaxed into doing things sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never done and Chick (Stacey Poirier), their critical cousin, just keeps stirring the pot.Â Adding to the intrigue, Oren Barter plays the lawyer Barnette Lloyd, and Shane Tollefson plays Doc Porter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The question is what are the real crimes revealed to the audience,â&#x20AC;? Crossley says.Â Crossley says she has given Cheryl Lynn Lewis the title of

play manager and theatre guru for her help in keeping rehearsals going while she was away working. Crossley says she has given Cheryl Lynn Lewis the title of play manager and theatre guru for all her extra help keeping rehearsals going while she was away working and with producing the play. The technical team includes father/son team Curt and Conlan Sprickerhoff on lights and sound; stage manager Mackenzie Moore; set design Sheryl Lynn Lewis;

costume design Sharon Hoffman, crew Keenan and Jerry Crossley, along with many other helpers from the theatre club. Crimes of the Heart is on stage at the Studio Theatre, May 2 to 5 and May 9 to 12 and May 17 for the festival. Tickets are available at About Face Photography. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the shows start at 8 p.m. at the Williams Lake Studio Theatre at Glendale Elementary School.

Cariboo Idol focus shifts to singer-songwriters Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Cariboo Idol season seven is on its way with some changes to place more focus on singersongwriter performers, says Robert Fry, who is organizing the contest. Cariboo Radio hosts Cariboo Idol as a way to promote vocally talented people living in the Cariboo, and raise funds for artists to entertain audiences at events in the region through summer and fall. Fry says the contest is steering away from karaoke singers this year unless the singing talent is too great to ignore. In the case of talented karaoke singers, Fry says the goal of the contest will be to have one of the other musicians in the contest play for the singers, rather than play karaoke music. Auditions will take place May 14 and 15 at the South Cariboo Recreation Centre in 100 Mile House from 6 to 9 p.m. both nights. â&#x20AC;¨Call backs will be on May 16 and 17 from 6 to 9 p.m. both nights.

The $10 cash entry fee is paid on audition day.â&#x20AC;¨Entrants younger than 18 years of age will require the signature of a parent or guardian before their first auditions, in the presence of a representative from South Cariboo Community Concerts or New Age Entertainment. â&#x20AC;¨Fry says he could also hold auditions in Williams Lake if event sponsors come forward in this area. While auditions may not be held in Williams Lake this year, Fry says the contest is open to the entire CaribooChilcotin. The 10 finalists will have the chance to be heard across the Cariboo and around the world on Caribooradio. com. They will be interviewed on air, in local newspapers and will have the chance to record their song(s) at the New Age Studio.â&#x20AC;¨â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cariboo Idol is about working together as a group and helping one another out to ensure solid performances when on stage, in the studio and in music videos that will be

uploaded to YouTube, Twitter and Facebook,â&#x20AC;? Fry says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of all Cariboo Idol is about having fun doing what you love to do! So if you want to support your communities through song and team work, audition for Cariboo Idol 2012 and start making a difference in your community,â&#x20AC;? Fry says. All 10 finalists will be winners, regardless of where they place at the end of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cariboo Idol has been mentioned as not reaching past Williams Lake this year, but I will not turn away any Cariboo artists willing to take part and help support Cariboo fundraising and special events for the summer and fall in trade for worldwide exposure for themselves and their written material,â&#x20AC;? Fry says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I plan to open it right up to the entire Cariboo/Chilcotin and reaching down to Bella Coola in 2013, but again I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn auditioners away.

May a busy month for Lions and Lioness clubs May will be a busy fundraising month for the Williams Lake Lions Club, says Lion Al Garlinge. The Lions and Lioness clubs are jointly sponsoring their annual Mother’s Day Market and Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, May 13 in the Save-on Foods parking lot. Participating vendors will set up at 7 a.m. and the gates open at 8 a.m. with breakfast served from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. The breakfast is free for all mothers with a nominal charge of $6 for adults and $3 for children 10 and under. “It’s a great breakfast consisting of pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage and a beverage,” Garlinge says. Admission to the mar-

ket is by donation. “This is a true market with venders selling all sorts of goods, new and used,” Garlinge says. Vendors can rent a space for $10 and rent tables if needed for $5 each by contacting Al at 250-392-6834 or Lionel at 250- 398-5297. The Stampede Queen contestants will be on hand helping and mingling with the people. The Lions Club annual Club 400 dinner, dance and casino night follows on May 26 at the Williams Lake Curling Rink. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with dinner at 7 p.m., catered by Karen’s Restaurant. Dancing to the music of Perfect Match follows, with fun and gaming until midnight. “This event

actually started back in October, when the tickets went on sale,” Garlinge says. “The Club 400 tickets sell for $52 each. The ticket includes admission for two to the casino night dinner and dance as well as a chance to win one of 52 draws throughout the year.” Garlinge says winners are announced every Friday from January to the end of December. There are only 400 tickets sold with 49 draws for $52 and three draws for $500. “You won’t find better value for your dollar anywhere,” Garlinge says. “The tickets are all sold out for this year but will go on sale again in October for next year. This is the major fundraiser for the local Lions

unsational election

club with the profits going back into the community to support youth groups, seniors, the arts, community projects and assisting people in need.” He says the Lions also work with the Salvation Army to provide Christmas dinners and gifts for children. This project has been running for more than 25 years and will keep going as long as the great support from the community continues. Next year’s Club 400 tickets will be on sale from October to end of December 2012 for next year’s event. Tickets are available from any Lion member or visit our web site at williamslakebc.lionwap.org for more information.

OAPO pancake breakfast set for May 26 Win Gooding Special to The Tribune Another month has passed by and spring is finally here so we can now enjoy living outside when the sun shines. The Old Age Pensioners Organization Branch 93 had another successful used spring clothing sale at the Senior’s Activity Centre. Marlene Davis and her volunteers did a great job organizing the event and are thankful for all the donations of clothing that were given to make it possible.

The B.C. Senior’s Games fundraiser dinner on April 15 was a sold-out event. Ellen Wiege and her helpers put on a delicious roast pork dinner with all the trimmings and everyone really enjoyed the entertainment and taking part in the auction. A job well done. A cheque for $500 was presented to Ellen by the OAPO Branch 93 to help with their expenses. A cheque was also given to the Senior’s Advocate council by the OAPO members. Mark your calendars

for the OAPO pancake breakfast held on Saturday, May 26 at the Senior’s Centre. Bring your family and friends and enjoy the camaraderie. The B.C. OAPO convention will be held on June 10-13 at Agassis. Four delegates from our OAPO Branch 93 will be attending. Resolutions from all B.C. branches will be presented regarding seniors health, housing, pharmacare, pensions, etc. and voted on by the delegates.

“They call the Cariboo home” Raging grannies Nora and Nancy best friends in retirement Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer

They came to the Cariboo as young women, one a nurse, one a teacher. While their working and family lives have been quite different, they met in early retirement and have maintained a close friendship for more than 20 years. They call them the raging grannies. You will find them speaking out on all kinds of issues, their support for the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society (lifetime members), the Horsefly Salmon Festival and the Quesnel River Watershed Alliance being closest to their hearts. They are fast friends Nora Nicol, who turns 84 in May, and Nancy LeBourdais, who turns 87 in June, who are great companions and enjoy outings with the Red Hat Ladies. “There are about 20 of us Red Hat Ladies. It is a friendship thing for older people 50 and beyond for our own enjoyment,” Nora says. Nora was raised on Pender Island where her family ran a dairy farm and had a milk run. She moved to Vancouver for grades 11 and 12, then took her teaching certificate at the Vancouver Normal School. In 1951 her first teaching position was a one-room school in Beaver Valley teaching grades 1 to 8. Another teacher took charge of the Grade 9 students. The next year she taught

grades 1 to 7 at Springhouse, but it wasn’t long before she left teaching to become a rancher’s wife back in Beaver Valley. Nora married Shelley Nicol and joined him at the Lakeview Ranch on the Beaver Valley Road connector half-way between Horsefly and Likely. The 1800-acre Lakeview Ranch was started by Shelley’s parents, Alexander and Margaret, who immigrated to Canada from Dundee, Scotland. Alexander came to Canada first in 1911 to work and find land and Margaret joined him as he established the Lakeview Ranch in 1913. Next year the Lakeview Ranch joins the ranks of ranches owned and operated by the same family for 100 years. After marrying, Nora gave up teaching to help run the ranch which includes a cow/calf operation, putting in a big garden each year, and cooking for their guiding business.

Shelley passed away 10 years ago and Nora continues to help their sons Mike and Gavin with ranch chores. Mike and his wife Crystal Barter have one boy, Louis, 4. Gavin has a daughter, Katie, who is in high school in Williams Lake. For years Nora wrote a column and took pictures for the Tribune, but these days she says her failing eyesight makes it hard to write although she continues to enjoy photography. She says the family manages a special trip once a year but mostly she enjoys activities in Horsefly. “I love the summer music festival, Arts on the Fly, that’s my favourite,” Nora says. “I’d like to go back and see England again. My husband’s cousins still live in Scotland.” Nancy was raised in Vancouver. After high school she worked a year at the Royal Bank then took the three-year nurses training

at St. Paul’s Hospital. “It was a little tough. The Catholic nuns were very strict but they were good and we got very good training,” Nancy says. Her first nursing job was for a year at the old hospital in Quesnel. Then she went to Portland, Oregon to nurse for a year because there was a shortage of nurses there. “That was very interesting, quite a change from Quesnel to the big city.” After Portland Nancy returned to nurse at St. Paul’s from where she would also take holiday relief jobs in Quesnel. She had a brief marriage to a man she met in Quesnel, which resulted in her son Ray. Back in Vancouver she met Gerry LeBourdais who worked at the Shell Oil refinery and was also from Quesnel, although they had never met there. Gerry had a son, Louis, and a daughter, Linda, so when Nancy and Gerry married she and Ray took the LeBourdais name. Later their fourth child Lorraine would complete the family. After they married Nancy nursed at the Lionsgate Hospital in North Vancouver from 1954 until 1970, when the couple decided to move back to the Cariboo and back to the land. They first bought land at Rose Lake but soon sold it to establish a communal farm co-operative that rented various properties around the Williams Lake area that were dedicated to organic farming.

In 1983 Nancy and Gerry parted ways. She moved back to Vancouver to recertify as a nurse and work in the long-term care pavilion at Vancouver General. In 1987, when Deni House opened at Cariboo Memorial Hospital, Nancy returned to Williams Lake to work there and live closer to her children. When Nancy retired in 1990 her son, Ray, and his wife, Maureen, built her a small log cabin on their property just down the road from the Nicol’s ranch. Daughter Lorraine and her husband Rob Diether carried on the organic farming tradition in 100 Mile House where they established the Horse Lake Community Farm Co-operative, a 54-hectare working farm protected by the Land Conservancy of B.C. that supports a community of farmers, wildlife and birds. These days Nancy says she is content to help Ray and Maureen with their large vegetable garden, enjoys knitting, walks with the dog, outings with Nora and visits with and keeps tabs on her large extended family which includes 12 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Unfortunately she lost son Louis to cancer in 1994. As she recalls it, Nancy says she and Nora were dubbed the raging grannies when they participated in a protest against the war in Iraq that was held in 100 Mile House.

Rayel MacDonald

Career Opportunities

There are so many words we could use to describe my gorgeous, intelligent, fun loving sister, and yet none of them seem to measure up. She could affect everyone around her so profoundly just by being herself. Anyone who has ever met her will be able to tell a story about how Rayel made them smile when they thought nothing could. She was a mother to everyone who needed it and a rocking best friend. Rayel was ﬁnishing up her second year of nursing and was going to move to Kamloops in the fall. She was ready to take on life. She was going to nurse all over the world. I believe that the entire world will feel the loss of Rayel MacDonald. She will always be the brightest star we see at night, and our sun during the day. Her parents, Andrea and Dave, and her little sisters Olivia and myself, Rilla, would like to thank everyone for all the support we have received, and we would like to send all of our love to all of you, because we know that you are also keenly feeling the loss of Rayel. When we all think back upon Rayel, we shouldn’t think about how she was tragically taken from us. We should think about all the smiles and laughter we shared with her, and about how safe and loved we felt with her around. Remember those feelings, and smile about them. “The Beautiful Life of Rayel MacDonald” will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, April 28th at the WLSS Gym.
