Collision sends two to hospital

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Emergency crews attend the scene of a collision involving a pick-up truck and a car at the South Lakeside Drive and Highway 20 intersection Friday afternoon. Two people in the car were sent to hospital with minor injuries.

Area-based tenures among considerations Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett is pleased she’s been assigned to the special committee to examine the mid-term timber supply.

“I was the vice-chair and became the chair of Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition and was with the coalition from day one. I understand the issue, I have lots of background and I have also worked with all the other coalitions over the past many years,” Barnett says.

She has seen many timber supplies and adds the declining numbers are not something new.

“We knew this was coming.”

The numbers have been there for a few years. It’s time to go back to the communities, to give them an update and hear their concerns over forestry issues and ask for their input on how to improve forestry on the landscape, she says.

“Is there a possibility we can increase the timber supply or do things differently? We’re out there to lis-

ten, we have a mandate, terms of reference, and we will be out there meeting with every stakeholder we possibly can over the summer.”

The terms of reference outlined for the committee are to specifically consider recommendations that could increase timber supply, including direction on the potential scope of changes to land-use objectives, rate of harvest and conversion of volume-based tenures to areabased tenures.

Bob Simpson, Independent MLA for Cariboo North, says he’s nervous about those terms.

“I don’t think they should be considering an increase in the timber supply. I had extensive dialogue with the ministers before the terms were drawn up and have told them we need to focus on the transition to a smaller, traditional forest industry.”

Simpson believes the province cannot avoid a downsizing in the traditional forest sector, so instead of propping up the industry by starting a fight over land-use plans and area based tenures, the committee

should be going out to communities and asking what options exist to mitigate the “inevitable falldown in the cut levels.”

Weighing in, the Association of BC Forest Professionals is expressing optimism because the government is doing what it was asked by undertaking consultations in communities.

“We asked the focus to be on sustainability and from our look at the terms of reference it looks like that’s what they are going to do,” says ABCFP chief executive officer Sharon Glover.

Aside from appointing the special committee on timber supply, the Legislative Assembly has also appointed a technical advisory committee that will include former chief foresters Larry Pedersen and Jim Snetsinger.

“I know both of them personally as do most of our membership. They are both held in very high regard among forest professionals,” Glover says of Pedersen and Snetsinger.

When it comes to potentially changing the land-use objectives,

Glover warns those plans were made with trade-offs by various people who worked on them many years ago.

She says the committee will have to be careful if it thinks of overriding those plans because people agreed to them in good faith. They weren’t negotiated easily, she explains.

While some area-based tenures already exist in some tree farm, community forest and woodlot licences within the province, the ABCFP membership is divided on whether there should be more of them.

From a stewardship perspective, the members are split on the issue of tenure reform because it’s very prickly, Glover says.

“If you know that you’re the only one getting the timber off the land then you will invest money in fertilization, thinning and all kinds of treatment to get the trees as healthy as possible.”

Accommodation of First Nations rights and titles would also be a part of the discussion, says Randy Trerise, ABCFP’s registrar and director of act compliance.

“It goes back to their fundamental needs. If they are going to be getting tenure rights, which they are, would they prefer to have area-based as well? There may be some advantages if there are more area-based tenures available for the First Nations.”

Glover ensures the association will actively participate in the consultation.

“We are also going to encourage our members to participate because they have spent years studying the science behind forestry and are in the actual best position to provide advice on how ecosystems will react when harvesting takes place in areas we hadn’t previously anticipated taking place before.”

In the press release announcing the timber supply committee, the government notes the latest computer-modelling projections indicate about 58 per cent of the pine volume in the province may be killed by 2023, a statistic that is significantly less than the 80 per cent pine-kill

Anaham community holds justice meeting Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Tl’etinqox (Anaham) Chief Joe Alphonse’s desire for a safer community inspired him to host a justice meeting on May 16 with his community, the RCMP, Williams Lake city council members, and youth workers.

“A rash of incidents that happened in our community were the result of Crown Counsel releasing offenders into our community without the support of our leadership,” Alphonse says.

“We’ve got a lot of work ahead,” he says.

“We want to move toward establishing protocol to ensure that chief and council are fully aware of people that are dealing with the court system and the stage they are at.”

Alphonse notes that people released by the courts into the community in the future will have to adhere to the terms set out by chief and council.

“We don’t have resources to deal with people that want to continue to rebel.”

In fact, he suggests it would be better for them to stay in larger communities such as Kamloops and Prince George, where resources are in

Participating in a community justice meeting at Anaham are, back row from left to right, Isadore Harry, Bruce Mack, Corp. Corey Eggen, Sgt. Mike Hacker, and Inspector Warren Brown, as well as, front row from left to right, Kelly Culbert, Staff Sgt. Lauren Weare, Samantha Dick, Crystal Verhaeghe, Coun. Danica Hughes, and Chief Joe Alphonse. place.

“At the end of the day we can deal with a lot of issues, but it starts with a willingness on everyone’s part to co-operate.

I called the meeting to create awareness around that.”

Relationships between First Nations and the RCMP are better than they used to be, Alphonse explains, but there’s still a ways to go and the meeting was

a step in the right direction.

Williams Lake RCMP Inspector Warren Brown, advisory NCO Lauren Weare, along with Cpl. Corey Eggen of the Alexis Creek detachment, and Cpl. Mike Hacker attended the meeting. In two weeks Hacker will become the sergeant at Alexis Creek.

Brown says the City of Williams Lake doesn’t have the resources to

deal with released offenders either.

“That’s likely why we’re so high on the national crime severity index as well as provincial stats for crime. I share Chief Joe’s frustrations, but again I think the importance, as I see it, is that we’ve recognized that individually we can’t do this alone. Efforts made in the past, although well-intended, have had little impact on

the concerns Alphonse has.”

Brown ascertains there needs to be further dialogue with other stakeholders in the criminal justice system, including the judiciary, court services, corrections and Crown.

“Other initiatives we have ongoing right now within the aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities show that we’re all in this together.”

The meeting was long overdue, and while the focus was specific to concerns in Anaham, the template is relevant to other communities, Brown adds.

“I’m optimistic that we can identify some better processes. It’s impractical to think we’re going to get more resources here, I don’t think that will happen.

In the absence of that we have to make efforts

to maybe look at fresh ways and ideas of working together.”

The plights are the same, he says, and everyone wants safety in their communities.

“The missing piece is once a person has been charged or convicted and is on strict conditions, whose responsibility is that person?” Brown explains, adding he agrees there has to be a better way, but so far there’s only been Band-Aids put in place, not solutions.

Williams Lake city councillor Danica Hughes says she was impressed with the “open, honest and frank” discussion that took place during the meeting.

“It was great that people had a boldness to talk about the struggles of the past and ways to change those things.”

Hughes points out there are several good role models among the youths from Anaham, and that fact needs to be celebrated.

“Ultimately people are coming together because they care about all youths, even those that are struggling with the law.

I thought the meeting was very respectful and gave people the opportunity to bring their ideas to the table,” Hughes says.

Spanish Mountain Gold updates city council on mine progress Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer In 2011 Spanish Mountain Gold spent $1.2 million in Williams Lake and surrounding areas, says company president and chief executive officer Brian Groves.

If the company’s proposed advanced stage bulk tonnage gold project goes through, there

would be the need for local companies to provide for 30,000 cubic metres of concrete, 6,000 tons of steel, and 6,000 square metres of pre-engineered buildings.

“There’d be 300 positions over the project’s projected mine life, which is projected to be 10 to 14 years, for millwrights, assay/environment labourers, mine

management, operations and maintenance, process plant management, operations and maintenance,” Groves told city council during a presentation at the committee of the whole meeting last Tuesday.

Located east of Likely, and 15 kilometres west of Mount Polley, the project site sits on the north flank of Spanish Mountain.

It would take up two kilometres of the company’s main property.

It is now undergoing two levels of government environmental assessments.

Presently the camp is shutdown for a “well-deserved” break and road repair has been done on the 1300 Road.

“As you can imagine, we were hauling heavy

drills during thaw and the frost came out and made quite a mess so we had to repair it because we are cognizant of the fact that with the long weekend coming people want to go to Spanish Lake. I was out there today and saw they’ve done a fine job of repairing it,” Groves said.

Flagging concerns, Groves explained there

is no plan to cut off the 1300 Road if the project goes through.

Instead the plan looks at a diversion that will come close to Spanish Creek, and no one will be denied access.

“We are also proposing a setback in the design to move the open pit back another 75 to 100 metres from Spanish Creek to avoid complications.”

Based on a report prepared in late 2011, the tailings facility will be land-based.

“It’s designed to be a zero-discharge facility,” Groves said of the tailings facility. “We have a conceptual plan in mind that doesn’t require relocating the tailings.”

Mayor Cook ‘inspired’ by symposium Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Mayor Kerry Cook said she was glad she attended the first-ever Mayor Symposium held in Penticton last week.

Speaking after it was finished on Friday Cook said the symposium was an historic event. It was positive, productive, proactive, and an example of visionary leadership.

“It was inspiring to see 86 mayors from across the province come together united and strong on what we’re elected to do, which is serve the interests of the taxpayer.”

Appreciative of Surrey Mayor Diane Watts and the Mayors Caucus for planning the event, Cook described it as a beginning.

“Mayors sat shoulder to shoulder — mayors from towns with a few hundred people, to big city mayors. Mayors had conversations around resource-based industries and how they affect rural B.C.” She said she’d never

seen that before and it was inspiring to see people united for a common purpose.

Local government is the level of government that’s closest to the community, Cook suggested, adding it felt great to be united around common purposes.

One of the highlights for Cook was when the Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said in all her 30 years of experience, the symposium was the best example of leadership she’d ever seen.

Cook said the symposium was about putting politics aside and being responsible to the people with good governance with a focus on longterm planning.

“This was a step in the right direction. It wasn’t about bashing partisan politics or about bashing governments. It was about asking how we serve the people better.”

The province’s mayors will meet again at the Union of BC Municipalities in September in Victoria and then at

a second annual Mayors Symposium in May 2013.

Earlier this month, Cook was among five mayors on a panel at the 2012 Cities Fit For Children Provincial Summit held in Kamloops.

She says she seized the opportunity to showcase some of the positive things that have been going on in the community.

“I presented a Powerpoint. Because it was a B.C. summit with people from all over the province, my first slide was a general introduction to Williams Lake,” Cook says.

“Then I went into the topic and talked about what’s going on in Williams Lake that goes above and beyond the basics.”

Cook showed slides on partnerships, agencies, different festivals for children, and highlighted the unique things in the community.

“I talked about our youth council, about our Communities That

Project would cost $500M in capital Continued From Page A3 On May 15, the company announced gold extraction test results for the Phoenix Zone of the project that are promising, although Groves said the company is in the very early days of its understanding about the findings.

“Four drill holes revealed very significant grades, comparable to the main zone,” Groves said, adding if Phoenix does not materialize the anticipated mine life will remain at the 10-to-14 year level.

Spanish Mountain Gold would have a refinery on site where 200,000 ounces of gold bars will be produced a year or 400 ounces a week.

From the mine they will be transported to major refineries in Ontario.

There will be some

lower grade silver production, but not a significant cash contributing amount Spanish Mountain Gold has $10 million in its treasury and anticipates $500 million in capital costs if the project goes ahead.

“Raising that money will be a combination of debt and equity.

We’ve already been approached by traditional lenders, many of the European banks, and some Australian banks are inquiring. The project of this size is not a billion-dollar super project,” Groves said.

The hope is to commence production in late 2015.

Marissa Nobauer of Catana Consulting said the company has hired consultants to do a socio-economic study of the mine’s impact on the region.

Mayor Kerry Cook applauded the company

for signing agreements with the Williams Lake Indian Band and Xat’sull (Soda Creek).

Groves said the company is also working with the BC Aboriginal Mining Training Association which he said currently has 1,000 people pre-screened available throughout the province.

Housing and work schedules are details yet to be ironed out, but those discussions are also taking place between the company and local First Nations.

Care pilot project, the new bike park, and the importance of recreation infrastructure for children and youth.

One of the questions was about literacy so I discussed the partnerships with literacy, such as the ones our Rotary clubs have developed with First Nations communities and the libraries out west.”

She finished the presentation talking about the May 8 council meeting where the three delegations were all presented by children.

They included Kids Running for Kids — the project where children will run from Williams Lake to Vancouver to raise money for Children’s Hospital. Three children gave a slide presentation and updated council on their

progress.

Mountview Elementary School Grade 7 students have been working with Mary Forbes from the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society and proposed that the city place more recycling bins in downtown parks and on city trails.

The third delegation involved the presentation of a Community Spirit Certificate to Cataline elementary school students and staff, and Seniors Village Retirement Concepts residents and staff, for an intergenerational project involving students and seniors.

“I was able to show how we’re listening and open to youth initiatives and framed it in the whole new way we’re doing our integrated planning into our official community plan.”

Support program to come to TRU Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake will offer the Community and School Support program, starting this fall.

The eight-month, employment-ready program prepares students to work in the community and school settings with children, youth, and adults with disabilities.

A press release says the program is the entry level qualification to work as a teaching assistant for School District 27 and provides an educational opportunity

for people seeking a rewarding career working with others and helping them to overcome challenges and remove barriers to independence.

In the program, students learn to be effective support workers in schools and community settings, working with people with exceptionalities.

They also learn the specialized support for people with a variety of physical, intellectual, and behavioural supports.

The program in Williams Lake also offers

students the opportunity to develop skills in the community, and they are introduced to autism spectrum disorder, intellectual and physical disabilities, as well as hearing and visual impairments.

Students also learn more general skills of both written and interpersonal communication and develop an understanding of development psychology and how to work effectively with children and youth.

Most successful graduates of the program

are able to find work within a few months of graduating, the release says.

According to Shari Cooper, school district principal for support services, there is a continuing need for qualified school support workers or teaching assistants, as many people who have worked in these roles are retiring or moving on with their careers.

Many graduates also work in the community settings, supporting children and adults with disabilities in the

workplace, community, and home settings.

An information night on the program will take place Tuesday, May 22 at 7 p.m. in room 1251 at the Williams Lake campus.

Employers, program faculty, and grads will be on hand to answer questions about the program and the nature of working in the field.

Applications are available at the registrar’s office. For more information, contact Jay Goddard, program co-ordinator, at 250392-8164.

Our Viewpoint

Promises, promises So it now seems that a decision about the timber supply review won’t be made this month, the next month, or even the month after that.

The decision is turning into a more lengthy process than the “six to eight weeks� that Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Minster Pat Bell was touting in Burns Lake in January.

That was nearly four months ago and there is probably not going to be a decision made for as many months on top of that. All said and done, it may end up being a year-long process, just for the timber supply review.

It is not really all that surprising that the province has now decided to involve the public in the timber supply review process. After all so many people have had so much to say about the issue, but maybe it should have thought about that sooner. As the process moves on, the province has found itself increasingly in the hot seat. It caused a bit of a stir when a leaked document marked, “Confidential Advice to Cabinet� proposed shifting forest management from a stewardship model, to one that puts short-term economic interests first, suggesting logging areas that have

been set aside to protect old growth, wildlife habitat and visual corridors, logging at an increased rate and taking decisions away from the chief forester and putting them in the hands of government.

Is the province passing the buck by allowing the public to weigh in? In other timber-supply reviews there has been a public consultation process, but much of public opinion is uninformed on the technicalities of the issue.

Not to mention that we have already gone through a process about how much beetle killed timber is out there, how much timber is still viable and how many people think the visual quality should be relaxed.

Either way, the government seems to be dragging its feet all of a sudden. There is probably only one option to solve the issue — either you cut down more trees to feed the mills, or you don’t. If the province is looking for public consensus or approval for cutting down trees that have previously been out of bounds, it’s probably not going to get that. – Lakes District News (Burns Lake)

The government is working with TRU and educational institutions across the province to develop training programs in areas with high job demand, including the quickly growing resource sector. At the same time, we are also investing $10 million in B.C. sector and industry groups to encourage them to develop new training programs that meet labour market needs. We are extending the Training Tax Credit program, which encourages employers and workers to engage in apprenticeship programs for additional skills training opportunities. And we are continuing our Aboriginal Training for Employment Program, which supports First Nations and Aboriginal students in pursuing further studies and employment opportunities.

In fact, the Xeni Gwet’in First Nation just received a $150,000 grant to support hands-on training, in-class instruction, and career planning and skills for various occupations. The B.C. government’s investments in skills and employment training will prepare hundreds of employees to fill jobs across the province, while increasing productivity for employers and contributing to our local industries and economies. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

We need a sustainable global economy Editor: Help stop this mine. Help stop hostile, aggressive, ongoing, unbridled destructive corporate greed. “Wherever there is great prosperity, there is great inequality. For one very rich man, there must be at least 500 poor, and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many,�  (18th century Adam Smith).

Today ‌ inequality is much

worse.

Two per cent own half the world’s wealth. Fifty per cent share one per cent of the world’s wealth. The vast majority of people are near poverty, in poverty, or in extreme poverty.  Children starve to death by the thousands daily. They lack clean water, basic sanitation, decent food, housing, health care, education and are in daily peril.  The vast majority of people have no access to decent work based on environmental

justice, sustainability, social justice and human rights.

The elite 0.01 per cent ‌ having oligarchy, plutocracy, aristocracy ‌ have no use for real democracy.

They need the 99 per cent in unquestioned servitude.

Allowing this mine to make more money for the elite makes them all the more powerful over the many.

Money buys their politicians, lobbies, lawyers, ad and spin men, protection ‌ your servitude.

“Trickle downâ€? economics is a betrayal for the many since Ronald Reagan. Since the industrial revolution, we are in the worst ongoing mass extinction event in 65 million years ‌ caused by systemic, unbridled, inhuman greed of the elite and those who service them.

Today, we need a global economy without growth ‌ based on environmental sustainability, social justice, and spiritual fulfillment for all. Unlimited industrial growth

fueled by carbon fossil energy fail by all accounts. It is based on 18th century selfish market immorality.

It is passe. It is no longer suitable for our global community on a finite planet.

A real democracy based on social equality is needed now. For the future of humanity, help stop unsustainable, global, corporate greed represented by this mine here.

Mother miffed by recent hospital visit Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Christina Sprague’s six-year-old son Lucas had not been back to Cariboo Memorial Hospital since he was born.

So when she took him to the hospital a few times between April 25 to May 2, she felt she wasn’t prepared for some of the changes in place at the emergency room. “We were very confused and distraught that nobody was addressing

us or giving us clarification. The nurses weren’t helpful and it was very awkward,� Sprague says of her experiences. “I think the hospital needs a better relationship and better communication with the community.�

Things that led to her confusion were whether she should have called an ambulance or not, whether arriving by ambulance gives patients priority, how to rate the severity of her son’s illness on a scale of one to five as required when filling

out forms, why there was a plate glass window between patients and the nursing staff, the open hours of the cafeteria, and whether the nursing staff is supposed to attend to patients in the waiting room. “Some things have changed around the ER that may make your visit more uncomfortable,� Sprague says. “There’s a plate glass window with a mouth hole between patients and the nurse. My mouth did not match up with the height of the hole. Awkward.�

LETTERS ALWAYS WELCOME

Lucas had been sick for four days with the flu and hadn’t been able to keep any food down so Sprague decided to take him to the hospital.

She brought him there because she felt he was in need of nutrients and perhaps an IV. “There was no clarification for me to move on from the fact that I had him at the hospital. Now what?

Should I even be here? Should I have called an ambulance?�

Sprague wondered.

Drawing from her own experiences, Sprague says the community needs to be informed and confident when entering the ER. “Humans are emotional creatures. Therefore, when parents have done all they can do at home for their child, it would be nice if parents could take their children to a safe, trusting and welcoming hospital.�

Deb Runge, Interior Health’s manager of acute services for the Cariboo, says the emergency room is consistently busy in Williams Lake, but adds anyone should feel comfortable to go there. “If you feel that you need treatment and you’re not sure what you should do, you have a couple of options.

You could dial Health Link at 811 and that’s a provincial initiative with a nurse on call to talk to people or you can just come in. We would never discourage anyone, but there are options.�

When people arrive at the ER, their first point of contact is the triage nurse, who begins care with an assessment, including asking specific questions such as the severity of pain or what is different that caused them to come to the hospital. “If you are of a lower scale, you may wait longer than someone that’s

more critical,� Runge explains, adding it’s the triage nurse who gives a score and then checks up on the patient in the waiting room to make sure their score hasn’t changed.

An ambulance is justified if a person has an urgent need for transport or requires assistance during transport.

If people arrive by ambulance, they are assessed by a nurse, and will be prioritized for treatment depending on severity, which could mean they could wait to see a physician behind someone in the patient waiting room.

The cafeteria is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday to Friday, and there are vending machines in the waiting room near reception.

Patients, however, waiting to be seen by a physician are encouraged not to eat or drink until they have been examined.

As for the plate glass window with the mouth hole, IH says it’s there to control the entrance to the emergency department to ensure safety for patients and staff and protect the patients’ right to confidentiality.

The triage desk is located behind a sliding door and a nurse is stationed behind a glass window — the first point of contact is made through a speaking hole in the window. “The nurse will invite the patient into the enclosed area for further discussion and information sharing during the triage process.�

While Interior Health cannot comment on specific complaints, there is a patient care quality office, 1-877-442-2001, where concerns are documented and investigations launched. “I encourage people to call the line if they have concerns,� Runge says.

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Saturday, May 26 and Sunday, May 27 Lakers Car Club Spring Roundup

Tribune file photo

It’s always a busy scene in downtown Williams Lake when the Lakers Car Club hosts its annual Spring Roundup and Show and Shine. This year the club celebrates its 18th annual event, which runs Saturday with several events throughout the community and Sunday, when the Show and Shine takes place beginning at 10 a.m. on Third Avenue.

Show and Shine goes this weekend Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Inside a garage, locked up behind a door and tucked under a sheet is no place for a slick ride to be.

Especially this weekend when the Lakers Car Club hosts its 18th Annual Spring Roundup and Show and Shine in downtown Williams Lake.

Wayne Potter, president of the Lakers Car Club, wants everyone with a vehicle they’re proud of to enter it in the show, which takes place this Sunday on Third Avenue starting at 10 a.m. “If you’re shy, or scared, or don’t think your car is good enough to come to this show, you’re wrong,�

Potter said. “This show is a show and shine. It’s not an elite car show.

It’s for the people and it’s for everyone who has a car. Bring it out and drive that thing. “Come and join us. We’re all car guys and we’d love to see your car, and the people of Williams Lake would love to see your car.�

Sunday’s Show and Shine, expected to be accompanied by beautiful, sunny weather, will be preced-

ed by several Saturday events put on by the Lakers Car Club.

Saturday in the A&W parking lot at 1 p.m. pre-registration for the Show and Shine and registration for the Roundup Poker Run begins. “That poker run gets the cars around town so people will see them out in the residential areas,� said Paul Christianson, secretary with the Lakers Car Club.

At 5 p.m. drivers, and their vehicles, will meet at the Stampede Grounds for a steak barbecue. Potter said everyone in the community is invited to attend. “We’ve got a steak dinner, chicken dinner, baked potato, the whole works,� Potter said. “For $15, it’s a 10-ounce steak — you can’t go wrong with that price — and on top of that you get to mingle with all the car guys.�

Following the barbecue, at 7 p.m., drivers will take their cars up to Thunder Mountain Speedway to be introduced during the track’s opening event of the season. “It’s controlled chaos [at Thunder Mountain Speedway],� Potter said. “Thunder Mountain has provided that for us in a very safe manner.

They’ve allowed us to do smoke shows, which is great, and they’ve allowed us to go around the race track a few times. “At the Stampede Grounds everyone has the same comment about it: ‘We’ve been to car shows but we’ve never done anything like that.’�

Christianson added the show’s success can be attributed to many generous community sponsors and the hard work put in by the Lakers Car Club over the years. “One show doesn’t make it,�

Christianson said. “We’ve built on every consecutive show and they’ve all gotten better.�

Potter added several groups in the community will be coming out to help entertain. “We’ve got the Lake City Derby Girls coming down this year, we’ve got the Stampede rodeo queen as well as the princesses and this year’s contestants and we’ve brought the Old Time Fiddlers in to do some entertaining this year, which should work out very well for us,� Potter said.

Additionally on Sunday a Ladies Only Poker Run will be taking place, hosted by the Williams Lake

Central Business Area Improvement Association.

Potter said the Lakers Car Club expects around 200 cars to be registered in Sunday’s Show and Shine with about 50 per cent of those registrants coming from out of town. “A lot of people come from the U.S., northern B.C., Alberta and the Lower Mainland,� Potter said.

At 3:30 p.m. Sunday 66 trophies in 50 classes will be presented. The cost to register a car in the Show and Shine is $10 and includes raffle draws, a goodie bag, door prizes and dash plaques for the first 200 entries. “We’re also going to be raffling a 1972 Mercedes Benz that we’ve spruced up donated to us by Chris Montoya,� Christianson said, noting Sunday will be the first day of the raffle.

Second prize in the raffle is a pressure washer, donated by Canadian Tire, while third prize is a portable camp fire, donated by CanWest Propane.

Raffle winners will be chosen during the Williams Lake and District Credit Union’s 60th anniversary celebration in October.

Saturday, May 26 and Sunday, May 27 the Lakers Car Club in Williams Lake hosts its 18th Annual Spring Roundup.

Saturday, the Roundup Poker Run takes place at 1 p.m. starting at A&W on Highway 97, followed by a steak barbecue at the Stampede Grounds at 5 p.m.

Later, at 7 p.m., the Lakers Car Club will be showing off their rides at the Thunder Mountain Speedway Cruise.

Sunday, on Third Avenue, gates for the Lakers Car Club Show and Shine open at 8:30 a.m. with the show starting at 10 a.m. Award presentations go at 3:30 p.m.

Advertised are 66 trophies for 50 classes.

Sunday also features a Ladies Only Poker Run downtown.

Ryan Oliver and his wife Ali Oliver both raced in the BMO Vancouver Marathon May 6.

Ryan, racing in his first marathon, finished 34th out of 5,000 runners and sixth in his age group.

Couple shines at marathon Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Ryan Oliver considers himself a cyclist.

That’s why on May 6, when Ryan finished 34th out of 5,000 runners in the BMO Vancouver Martahon, it came as a bit of a shock.

“Yeah, I wouldn’t call myself a runner,” the 39-year-old 150 Mile House resident admitted.

“I’m more of a cyclist.

I’ve mountain biked professionally and I have a lot of respect for people that run marathons because it is a very long distance.”

On top of finishing 34th overall Ryan finished sixth in the 30-39 age category, which included professional and elite runners from around the world. His completion time was 2:51:20.

This was Ryan’s first time racing a marathon and adding to the significance, he said, was having his wife, Ali, complete the race with him.

“That was the highlight, for me,” Ryan said.

“Seeing Ali finish some-

thing that extravagant was great. She pulled a training schedule off the Internet and followed the whole thing through.”

The idea to race the BMO Vancouver Marathon came about, Ryan recalled, over a few glasses of wine one weekend night.

“For both of us, we’ve never really tried anything like this before,” he said. “At the beginning of the year we decided to knock this off our bucket list. My other goal was to qualify for the Boston Marathon next year and then go for my 40th birthday.”

Large goals, considering the only organized running either Ryan or Ali had done prior was in the local KidSport Classic 20-kilometre run.

That said, Ryan blew his goal of finishing in the top 100 out of the water.

“I beat my [goal] time by 30 minutes so next year we’ll be off to Boston,” he said, and added the marathon runs in April every year and hosts close to 35,000 participants annually.

www.wltribune.com A9

“There were thousands and thousands of people in Vancouver at the finish line. So if this was 15,000 people I can’t imagine Boston because that’s going to be 35,000 people.”

Ryan’s race strategy, he said, consisted of not burning himself out early. He’d heard from others that is the largest danger when running a marathon.

“I really didn’t know what to expect,” he said.

“Everybody’s always talking about hitting the wall and I was really worried about going out too hard and hitting this wall so I really took it easy for about the first 30 kilometres and then picked it up for the last 12 kilometres.”

The BMO Vancouver Marathon began at Queen Elizabeth Park, headed around the University of British Columbia campus, through Jericho Beach into Kitsalano, through English Bay, all the way around the Seawall and then finished at Canada Place.

“I hung behind a guy

for the first 30 km and just paced myself off him,” he said. “When he started to slow and I was feeling good heading into the Seawall I knew it was flat so I kicked it up a notch.

“The last five km, though, were extremely hard. I got to the finish line and couldn’t even walk over a curb. I had to go to a spot where you couldn’t go down any elevation.”

Ryan said to prepare he ran around 100 kilometres per week over six days of training.

Now that warmer weather has arrived, however, Ryan’s happy to use his legs to pedal, instead of to run.

“That’s the plan,” he said. “I’ll get back to mountain biking here for the summer and then right after the new year is when you normally start training for a marathon,” he said.

“The Boston Marathon is in April, so if you start training right around Christmastime that will put you at the perfect spot.”

Ice road trucker visits the lakecity with his new book ter, Debogorski says he headed off to university to become a lawyer.

He did one year at the University of Alberta then married his sweetheart and the love of his life, Louise. They have been married for 40 years and are the proud parents of 11 children and 12 grandchildren, the majority of whom continues to make their homes in the Yellowknife area. Their youngest child is 12 and their oldest is 40. They are now expecting their 13th grandchild, he says proudly.

Early on Debogorski says he worked at all kinds of jobs to keep his family — hauling, shoveling and raking — “I’m a farmer who doesn’t know how to farm.

“I had a claim in Barkerville back in 1976,” says Debogorski.

“I prospected around the area for a while and lived in a garage in Wells. Then I got wet and hungry and my wife said I had to come home and get a real job.”

He tried his hand in sawmills and oil rigs and other jobs before finding something that fit.

“I had 16 T-4 slips the first year after university until I got to the coal mines,” Debogorski says.

While he eventually found his niche in trucking and has made home base in Yellowknife for the past 35 years, Debogorski says he still dreams of becoming a gold miner. He sold his earlier claim years ago but still has a small

Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Yellowknife’s famed trucker Alex Debogorski is coming to Williams Lake next week to sign copies of his new book Ice Road Truckers.

While the History channel’s top-rated Ice Road Truckers reality show may have made him famous Debogorski says it hasn’t made him rich.

He still spends his winters delivering supplies from Yellowknife to Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk over long stretches of dangerous river and ocean ice roads, and into Whitehorse, Alaska.

“I’m only famous.

I’m taking $20 donations to get my teeth fixed because that’s as far as I can count,” Debogorski jokes.

Among the 100 or so vehicles, trucks and equipment he has in his automobile collection Debogorski drives a diesel Ford F-350.

And being friends with people in the Likely and Quesnel area related to his passion for gold mining, it seems fitting that he will be signing copies of his book at Lake City Ford.

He will be signing copies of his book and spinning stories for visitors at Lake City Ford from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 26.

“We will have a barbecue going all day so people can come by and have a hamburger and talk to Alex,” says Dave Polack who is organizing the event. “We’re pretty excited to have

Popular ice road trucker Alex Debogorski will sign his book at Lake City Ford May 26. him and really hoping everyone comes out to see him.”

By the animated conversation he provided in this Tribune interview, Debogorski is indeed, as his book promotion states, a natural storyteller who knows how to spin tales about his colourful life growing up in the backwoods.

Whether he’s recounting tales about his hairraising confrontations with bears, calculating the strength of newly formed ice, divulging the secrets of providing security in a bar room full of combative, drunken miners, or saving the life of another trucker, his book keeps you wanting more.

The book introduction goes on to state that Ice Road Truckers follows the heart-pounding adventures of the tough-as-nails truckers who risk peril every day to deliver goods and supplies in Alaska and

across Canada’s frozen north.

Debogorski shares tales of his adventuresand misadventures-in the north, and explains, in his own entertaining voice, how he got to where he is today, working-class hero, bona-fide celebrity, and the improbable star of a smash-hit television show.

“I was born with something you can’t buy and it is very difficult to earn,” Debogorski says. “It’s called poetic licence.”

Debogorski’s parents were born in Poland and immigrated to Canada from Britain in 1953, the year Debogorski says he was “born in the museum” in Berwyn, Alta.

The museum was the community’s old hospital, he admits.

After growing up in Alberta’s Peace River country with three brothers and one sis-

claim in the Barkerville area, which he bought a couple of years ago.

He says he is looking forward to meeting people in Williams Lake and is considering driving his vintage Cadillac with the big horns on the front down for the fun of it.

“You know you are a red neck when you patch your car with fibre glass and have to pump water out of the truck to get it on the road,” Debogorski quips.

Pup-date from Gertie, guide dog in training Let me introduce myself. I am Gertie and I am almost six months old.

I am so happy to be in touch with you to tell you how much I have learned so far in my life as a dog in training.

I arrived at my puppy raiser’s home when I was only eight weeks old and I was happy to find bells attached to doors, lots of toys and two new beds.

I landed a good training home, that’s for sure. I thought at first my name was “leave-it” as that was what I heard all day long. Then I realized it meant leave alone the articles that are not your toys!

Although I had two lovely puppy beds to choose from, I much desired the room across from my raisers bed where all the clothes are hanging. I would snuggle under them and felt very secure and safe there. At night I could hear my raiser searching for me — it was a funny game I liked to play.

At first I thought I wasn’t supposed to walk on my own as I was being carried whenever we went out. But my raisers explained that this helps with the bonding process and the fact that I can’t be exposed to germs in public until my last vaccinations at 12 weeks old.

I got used to being carried around that I think I forgot how to walk on my own. On my first visit to a friend’s house I was very nervous and

Gertie is now six months old wouldn’t venture very far until they let their big German shepherd out to play with me and I fell in love instantly. I was off and running then.

I have been learning so many new things. For instance if you have to go to the bathroom, otherwise known as “busy,” the bells on the door must be rung; don’t jump up on anyone or anything; and while you await a meal you must sit patiently and only go to the bowl after a whistle is blown — the latter being the hardest as I dearly love my food and try to rush to it immediately.

On a daily schedule we have the early morning “busy” routine and then in for breakfast.

I play with my toys while my raiser gets herself ready for a trip to the mall or supermarket. On goes my blue and white “Guide Dog In Training” jacket and off to work we go. I’ve learned to sit at the curb

before walking across the street, sit at the door before it opens and how to ride the escalator. I’m not very good at leaving the gum on he sidewalk as I have found it tastes good. Of course I am never allowed to keep it in my mouth, my raiser is quick to remove it or any other food I pick up off the floor.

Every second week we take a long drive to doggy obedience where I meet up with my siblings and many of the older dogs that look like me. We undergo a series of commands like sit, down, stay, stand, back-up and, of course, the good old “leave-it” word.

We have to walk through an obstacle course where food is left on the ground and we are expected to leave it. Why do they do this?

Don’t they know how much I love to eat?

In February my brother Ferenc and I were on the Variety Show of

Hearts telethon.

It was a lot of fun to be on the set. Oh, and we had something exciting happen at obedience recently. There was a film crew filming us puppies with the Model A and T car club, which came to make a generous donation to B.C. Guide Dogs. Some of us even got to sit in the nice old cars.

Now, don’t get me wrong, not all day is dedicated to training. I am still allowed to be a regular pup and especially love my visits to the dog park. At home there are many dogs walking by our house that stop for a visit and a romp on the grass with me.

I haven’t been in too much trouble yet in the house. I only chewed a wooden chess box once but after being told to “leave it,” in a very strong voice, I did. And I love my toys too much to eat them.

Thank you for sponsoring me through my training and I hope I make you proud one day.

Bye for now, Gertie NOTE: During the vision awareness open house held in Boitanio Mall, Feb. 10 Ashley Clark, mobility trainier with B.C. Guide Dogs/ Autism Support Dogs in Delta, presented Mayor Kerry Cook with a complimentary community “Sponsor a Puppy,” which comes with regular “Pupdates.”

Chauncey Franklin Willburn Sept. 19, 1928 May 5, 2012 Born in Northern California when it was still possible to ride a horse or drive a car for miles without seeing another person or building.

Chauncey was an avid hunter and loved being outdoors. He earned a living as a faller; starting in his teens. He was also a trapper, rancher, game guide, stone mason, bullrider and roper.

In the 1960s California became too crowded for Chauncey. He and his wife, Marlee, decided to move their family to Canada. They lived in several communities throughout the Cariboo Chilcotin making their final home at 150 Mile House.

Chauncey was predeceased by his parents, Frank and Goody, his brother Eugene, daughter Merrilea Elliott and grandson Autry Wilson.

He is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Marlee (Margaret); children Gene (Rhonda) of 150 Mile House; Charlene of 150 Mile House; Frank (Liz) of 150 Mile House; Pete (Rhoda) of Williams Lake; his grandchildren, April, Brandon, Tanner, Jamie, Laura, Shane, Brianna, Eddy, Amber and Joe; plus 8 great grandchildren.

No services will be held at Chauncey’s request.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN A Pest Management Plan (PMP), uniquely referenced as ‘WLP PMP-2012’, has been proposed by Williams Lake Plywood; a Division of West Fraser Mills Ltd. (West Fraser).

This proposed PMP covers West Fraser’s managed silviculture obligations located within the majority of the Central Cariboo and Chilcotin Forest Districts, as well as the small southern portion of the Quesnel Forest District. This area encompasses the communities of Williams Lake, Quesnel, HorseÀy and Likely.

The use of herbicides is intended within the area to which the PMP applies.

The herbicides listed below are proposed for use within the context of this PMP for vegetation control.

Application methods could include aerial and ground based treatments. Ground based applications of glyphosate include backpack sprayer (spot or broadcast), cut stump, and hack and squirt methods.

Ground based applications of triclopyr will be conducted using the backpack basal bark method targeting single stems. Aminopyralid, picloram, 2, 4-D and clopyralid will be used only on West Fraser’s managed roadsides and landings for spot treatment of invasive plant infestations using the backpack sprayer method.
