Census shows increase in seniors Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The 2011 Census age and sex details were released Tuesday by Stats Canada, revealing that the number of seniors in the community is on the increase. The statistics also show that of 10,830 citizens in the city of Williams Lake, 5,300 are males and 5,530 are females. While the male-to-female ratio is fairly even, as it was in 2006 when there were 5,245 males and 5,500 females, the number of people over the age of 64 living in the city is increasing. In 2006 Williams Lake had 1,400 people over 64 years of age; in 2011 there were 1,730. The age category between 60 to 64 years of age indicates there were 495 in 2006 and 740 in 2011; in the 85 years and over category there

were 155 in 2006 and 215 in 2011. Those numbers reflect what’s happening across the country. In a press release the Bank of Montreal pointed out that the 60-64 age group grew 29 per cent — the fastest growing age group in Canada. The number of seniors — those aged 65 and over — rose 14 per cent and is now sitting at around five million (the highest number of seniors ever) and that those of working age (aged 15-64) grew by only 5.7 per cent At the other end of the spectrum, the numbers are remaining steady in Williams Lake In 2006 there were 340 males and 320 females between the ages of zero and four, whereas in 2011 there were 345 males and 305 females. The percentage of the population 15 years and older is 81.6 in Williams Lake in 2011.

A second table, Williams Lake population centre, cites a population of 12,408. It compares Williams Lake with the province of British Columbia, showing the median age of 39.6 in Williams Lake versus 41.9 provin-

cially; 81.6 per cent of the population 15 and over in Williams Lake, compared to 84.6 in the province. The full report is available at http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/censusrecensement/2011/dp-pd/prof/index.cfm?Lang=E.

Teenager missing The Williams Lake RCMP is requesting the assistance of the public in locating a missing teen. Police are looking for Adrian Jamie Squinas, 16, who was born Nov. 27, 1995. He is described as being five feet, six inches tall and weighing 141 pounds. He has black hair, brown eyes and a slight build. Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Jamie or has seen him is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP detachment at 250-3926211.

NEWS Trustees release timeline for long-term plan Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer The School District 27 board on Tuesday released a schedule for what the public can expect as it develops a new long-term plan for the district. The schedule outlines the guiding principles the board has developed for strategic planning and work being done April through June to identify principles and

issues of importance to guide conversation during the public consultation process that will take place between September 2012 and January 2013. Chair William Van Osch said the board would keep the public updated as the process unfolds. Trustee Jackie Austin added that the guiding principles are not prioritized and that the options presented for public consultation

in September will be very initial and open to public input. The guiding principles for strategic planning are encapsulated in four categories: excellence in education; choice and opportunity; clear and transparent communication; sound and efficient fiscal management; and embracing the district’s unique factors of rural and remote schools, geography, and cultural di-

versity. Five steps have been outlined for identifying principles and issues of importance to guide public conversation. The first three steps have been completed including reviewing previous research and reports; developing the guiding principles; and sharing the timeline with principals, union representatives and the district parent advisory council and now the

public. The fourth and fifth components will be to review information received from the Student Voice survey done in the district during April and developing initial options for a report that will be reviewed by the board and presented to the public at the Sept. 25 board meeting. Public workshops on proposed options will be presented at the Williams Lake Secondary

gymnasium on Oct. 2 and at the 100 Mile House Junior Secondary gymnasium on Oct. 4. Out of the Box think tanks will be held at the Columneetza gymnasium Oct. 25; the Peter Skene Ogden gymnasium on Oct. 23; and at the Alexis Creek School on Oct. 16. Sessions for additional feedback based on the workshops and out of the box sessions

may also be scheduled. A written summary of feedback from all sources will be prepared in December and decisions are scheduled to be made by the board in January 2013. Updates will be provided by the board at regular board meetings. More information on the process is also available on the district website at www.sd27. bc.ca.

Have your say on Williams Lake pool at various venues Public engagement consultations regarding the Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool in Williams Lake will take place on June 8 and 9 in several locations around the city. Consultants from Professional Environmental Recreation Consultations Ltd. (PERC) have been contracted to develop the

pool feasibility study and will set up booths and showcase several options for a renovated or new pool. The consultants will also provide information regarding the costs and benefits related to each option. The city says this is an opportunity for community members to provide their opinions

and feedback to the consultants. “We are very much looking forward to this next phase of the feasibility study, and to hearing the public’s input,” says Coun. Laurie Walters, chair of the city’s community services committee. Cariboo Regional Dis-

trict Area F director Joan Sorley adds: “The consolation phase of the feasibility study is extremely important. It is an opportunity for members of the community and the fringe areas of electoral areas D, E, and F to learn about the proposed project, and provide opinions regarding options being consid-

Kittens abandoned at shelter in the night Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer When Kristen Meadows, animal care and welfare supervisor with the BC SPCA Williams Lake Branch, arrived at work Tuesday there was a box of little kittens outside, but no mom. A note enclosed with the kittens suggested there had been a mom; however, it was raining overnight and Meadows says the mother cat must have jumped out and left. Either that or Meadows scared it away when she drove up, she says. “The kittens don’t even have their eyes open yet. They’ve only got to be five or six days old,” Meadows says.

“One of our volunteers has taken them home to bottle feed them in the meantime until we can find the mom and hopefully reunite her with the kittens.” It is day time and there are dogs barking at the shelter so Meadows is concerned the mom’s been scared off. The sad thing, Meadows emphasizes, is there is ample room at the SPCA right now to host cats and prior to the kittens being dropped off, staff and volunteers received no phone calls about someone unable to care any further for their cats. For them to dump them in the rain in an unclosed box was unfortunate. “The kittens got soaked and the mom

A batch of young kittens are hoping to be united with their mom after they were dropped off anonymously with a note at the BC SPCA Williams Lake Branch some time between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. An enclosed note suggested the mother cat was in the box with the kittens, but she has disappeared.

took off,” Meadows says. There is a small group of people in the community willing

to foster animals, but when kittens are very young they need hourto-hour care. “It’s really hard to

find people that can commit. It’s basically like having a new born baby. Most of the time we have foster people

that will take the foster kittens with the mom because that’s fairly easy, but sometimes when you get little or-

phans if people work they might not be able to do it.” Meadows is hoping the kittens were not left overnight. “They were there for at least a few hours,” she adds. If people are having a hard time in their life or had to make a decision around giving away a pet, they need to call the SPCA, she says. “This is what happens. Hopefully we can find mom and hopefully the babies will survive without her. We’re here to help and we’d rather them come to the shelter than be dumped outside.” Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact the shelter at 250-3922179.

MLAs debate over new family Day holiday Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Independent MLA Bob Simpson says the proposed family day holiday in February is a luxury that British Columbia has not had an informed discussion about. “I don’t think people are being given the full story on what a statutory holiday costs them as taxpayers and to the economy in general. The public policy that’s justifying another holiday is so families can get quality time with each other. That’s pretty presumptive on the part of the government,” Simpson suggests. During the legislative debate Tuesday morning he joked that shopping on Sundays should be banned and retail stores should be closed so nobody’s working, everybody’s home and

Bob Simpson a weekly family day is guaranteed. Alleging the public policy is a smoke screen for a political move, Simpson notes the first family day in February will take place just months before the election. Simpson says an additional statutory holiday will cost $28 million a year for taxpayers and $42 million per year for small to medium size business. The $28 million will

cover the incremental wage costs for double time and a half for hospitals, buses, emergency services and other essential service employees to work that day. “That’s what the government has estimated it will cost them. The Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses has figured out the cost of $42 million for small to medium enterprise and $62 million for all businesses operating in B.C.” Citing the increase of minimum wage costs to businesses, plus the estimated $3,000 it will cost each business to switch back from HST to PST, he warns that mandating an additional statutory holiday is going to cause hardships. “Some people may even lose jobs because other people are being given a statutory holiday.”

Alternatively he wonders if people would choose to spend $28 million a year on a statutory holiday in February versus seniors care or reinventorying the forests in the Cariboo Chilcotin region. Many low-income families probably won’t get a day off and single parents will be scrambling for child care because schools will be closed, he says. “There are not a lot of families that can afford a ski family holiday in February. You’re talking about that upper middle income family who would have taken a holiday in February anyway.” Another question Simpson says he’s saving for third reading and the committee stage of the bill is whether the government has looked at the impact of crossboarder shopping and

whether it’s going to be Americans and Albertans who are going to benefit from an additional statutory holiday because people will take trips to shop there. “The federal government is increasing the exemptions for a day or weekend away, and with the dollar being strong, the net economic benefit the government claims is going to be there is not a given.” A February holiday is a nice idea; however, Simpson proposes it’s something that should be revisited when the economy has rebounded and programs are in place to help and support people to achieve more family time. Cariboo-Chilcotin Liberal MLA Donna Barnett counters Simpson’s opposition, saying she supported it in the legislature. “I know that every-

Donna Barnett thing we do, whether it’s increasing minimum wage, whatever you do it will always be some hardship on business and of course a hardship on taxpayers because they have to pay for the holiday.” Businesses are very successful in the Cariboo Chilcotin and Barnett is confident they will find the extra entrepreneur methods of continuing to be successful and enjoying the holidays with their families.

There are always going to be people for or against everything government does. She says she comes from the small business sector and understands the sector. “I also understand when there are times when you know the cost of business is a little bit more, and the cost of production is a little bit more, but at the end of the day, it is a bonus to an employee that appreciates it.” If employees are treated with respect and given a little extra here and there and everywhere, they work twice as hard, she adds. “We’re accused in government of not listening to our constituents, but I can tell you the ones I’ve talked to and the comments that I’ve had back are that people are happy to have an extra holiday.”

School district accounting procedures changed Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Due to a change this year in Ministry of Education accounting practices the School District 27 budget for 2012-13 will read as an increase of about $6 million over the 2011-12 budget. School District 27 trustees gave two readings to their 2012-13 preliminary budget of $62,538,990 Tuesday evening. Secretary-treasurer Bonnie Roller explained that the ministry now re-

quires school districts to include special purpose and capital funding and expenses as well as their regular operating budgets that were previously excluded from budget reports. This includes funding for programs such as the Ready Set Learn, Strong Start, CommunityLINK, French Immersion, aboriginal technology, Nenqayni resource program, Communities That Care, school generated funds and other grants and endowments which total $4,011,453.

The capital base budget includes amortization of capital assets, interest payments on capital leases, and capital assets budgeted to be purchased from local capital on sites, buildings, furniture and equipment, vehicles, hardware and software. These inclusions add $2,994,667 to the overall operating budget. Funding allocated to the district based on student enrollment will be reduced by $800,000 in 2012-13, which Roller says the district will be

able to handle using surpluses from this year’s budget. “Shortfalls will be covered by current estimated unallocated revenue,” Roller stated in her report. Based on projected enrollment which includes two recounts each spring School District 27 expects to have 265 fewer full time equivalent students this September. The district’s student population is expected to drop from the current 5224 students to 4959 students in September.

Bella Coola airport ‘threatened’ Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The reality that the Bella Coola airport is both crucial and threatened was shown dramatically during the floods of 2010 and 2011 when the valley lost its airport because of dike failure, says the Central Coast Regional District’s emergency program co-ordinator. “Our biggest initiative right now is trying to get the airport dikes rebuilt and extended. The federal and provincial governments gave us $2.3 million towards a dike upgrade project. We have to come up with another $1.25 million as a community,” Stephen Waugh says. The dike-replacement estimates sit between $2.5 and $3.5 million. “That process is still underway, getting the engineering design and an accurate budget. It’s a

Thursday, May 31, 2012 Williams Lake Tribune

very involved process because we have to get a really good estimate of the cost and then we would have to take that cost — $1.25 million, plus interest for financing, plus any maintenance costs forever because we would have to own this dike forever if we agree to fix it.” Waugh says the province has orphaned all airport dikes, and told communities if they want to do anything to repair them they have to be done to a certain standard. That’s put an onus on small communities like Bella Coola that have a tax base of 900 to 1,000 people at the most. At its meeting on June 14, the board will consider three different engineering designs, and hopefully engage one of the engineering companies to tender out. Those costs would have to go to referendum

and voters would have to decide if they want to become the authority to do the dike work. That’s the first big hurdle, Waugh explains. Bella Coola’s airport was constructed in 1978 and was partly protected with minimal diking. However, after there was some flooding there was an upgrade and extension done to the dike around 1984. Nothing has been done since then and in 2010 it failed and the community lost its airport for three days until it could be patched. “We know it’s critical infrastructure and we know the dike is failing because it did already. It’s the only one that has completely failed on us so far.” The airport is really important in emergency situations, particularly floods, because typically road access is cut off.

In 2010, they lost road access in 14 places. “There’s no question the airport is really, really important to us and that it’s threatened,” he says. Currently the dike is an L-shape that covers about 1.3 kilometres. With the upgrade, it’s hoped it can be extended to cover two km. It goes atop one end of the runway and then half way down the runway on one of the sides. An earthen structure, with a gravel top and a riprapped face, it is about two and a half metres deep on the land side and quite a bit deeper on the Bella Coola River side. Ironically, Waugh points out, the CCRD applied for the funds to upgrade its dike back in 2010 the day before the Sept. 25, 2010 flood. “I just had it finished off and submitted and then I went to Anahim Lake and it flooded.”

Laura Cunningham is sending a big thank you to social media, the community and the couple who found and looked after her lost nine-year-old Rottweiler Jake. Cunningham lives on Dog Creek Road. She and her family noticed Jake had gone missing on Saturday night. “I put it on the Facebook website Williams Lake Purge and Indulge, and half an hour later somebody posted that they’d seen him get picked up in a truck across from my house,” Cunningham says. “It scared me because I thought that somebody had stolen him, but it turned out, these people, Gerry and Colleen Martin, just kept him and were trying to find him a home for him to go to.” Social networking is so amazing, she says, adding thanks to Facebook and the almost 5,000 people saw her post. “I probably got 400 responses to it of people helping me try and find him. People are amazing.”

Jake has really bad arthritis and Cunningham went around knocking on every door to see if anyone had seen him.

Cunningham and her husband adopted Jake when they purchased the house on Dog Creek Road about five years ago.

“My husband told the owners of the house we weren’t taking the house unless we got the dog too.” Before they owned

him, Jake used to run along Dog Creek Road and then return home. “Everybody knew him,” Cunningham says. Photo submitted

Jake, a nine-yearold Rottweiler, was returned to his owners on Dog Creek Road after going missing Saturday evening. His owner, Laura Cunningham, says she used a social media site to put the word out that Jake was missing, and the couple who found him were able to bring him safely home.

Valedictorian Shawna Sellars, one of my students, is an amazing woman and a real inspiration to me. She has overcome tremendous hardships and has made a real difference to her family and her community. The day before, I attended a reception to meet the production team from HGTV and the History Channel to do pre-production work on a TV program being produced about Pioneer Log Homes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to have a positive story about the heart of a local Cariboo family and company. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for the green light for this show to go forward! I also attended the presentation of his parchment to Inspector Warren Brown. Commissions in the RCMP come from the Privy Council Office in Ottawa, and are formalized in a parchment signed by the governor general. Inspector Brown is doing an incredible job for our community, and his dedication to reducing crime and increasing safety has been evident since he arrived in Williams Lake. I also recognized the commitment of his members and Community Policing volunteers, who give so much to keep our community safe. On Saturday, I attended the United Steelworkers Local 1-425 annual general meeting. I was honoured to be asked to speak, and I told the members that labour is the backbone of our community. At the city, we rely on our union staff every day to provide services to residents. On Sunday, I attended the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival and the Lakers Car Club Show and Shine with my grandson, and we both loved it all. It was a beautiful day, and we spent hours at the festival and the show, and my grandson helped me pick out the Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice car. Many thanks to the organizers of these events. They made for a fabulous day! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Foolishness continues Most people wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begrudge folks getting another statutory holiday every year (except maybe some struggling business owners), but how Family Day came together was the epitome of political bumbling and fumbling. On May 25, Premier Christy Clark announced British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Family Day would occur on the second Monday in February in 2013. There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of fanfare over the announcement other than a few B.C. Liberal minions clapping each other on the backs for doing such a wonderful thing for families in this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Families Firstâ&#x20AC;? province. Maybe British Columbians will become more excited next year, as the new Family Day long weekend gets closer. The fact that the extra day off falls just prior to the next provincial election is probably just a coincidence. To think it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t would be cynical, and it would be like handing out free shots in the parking lots at the polling stations. No, this was the premier following up on a promise she made during the B.C. Liberal leadership

race in January 2011. At the time, she promised to make the third Monday in February a new holiday. It would fall on the same day Family Day is celebrated in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Prince Edward Island. The reasoning was sound because, presumably, the thinking was this would give people an extra long weekend each year, so they could spend time with family in other provinces. However, that was when the anointed premier was popular and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chasing her tail to find the lost lustre. Now, as the B.C. Liberals lag in the popularity polls, she is prepared to do anything to show she and her cronies are the party of the people. Clark wanted to show the great unwashed the B.C. Liberals had learned their lesson from ramming the HST down our throats, so she was determined to allow the â&#x20AC;&#x153;peopleâ&#x20AC;? help her government make the extremely important decision of when to hold Family Day. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 100 Mile Free Press

ver the past few years my office has been dealing with more and more seniors care issues. These issues include concerns about rising costs and everyday affordability, as well as the availability of adequate home care and assisted living and long-term care beds.Â I support the idea of creating a seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; MLA advocate Musings in the Bob Simpson province to stand a p a r t from the politics of the day and listen to and address individual complaints about seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; issues. Much like the representative for children and youth, the advocate will advise the legislature about how to best address the needs of seniors now and in the future. Consultations on the establishment of this position have already begun, and you can add your voice to the discussion by e-mailing SeniorsAdvocate@gov. bc.ca, or by writing:Â Seniors Action Plan, Ministry of Health, PO Box 9825, STN PROV GOV, Victoria, BC V8W 9W4. The seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; issues Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hearing about through my office have also been explored in detail by the BC Ombudsperson. They are documented in two reports on the state of seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; care in B.C. The reports are available at www.ombudsman.bc.ca/seniors, and they include numerous recommendations about how we can address these concerns.Â Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hosting two forums with the ombudsperson in Quesnel and Williams Lake in order to educate everyone about seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; care issues, and to start developing local and regional plans to improve supports for seniors. The ombudsperson will go through her reports and recommendations and take questions from attendees. The forums will be held on Tuesday, June 5 and are open to the public. The Quesnel forum will be held at the Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Centre from 9 to 11:00 a.m. The Williams Lake forum will be at the Pioneer Complex from 2 to 4 p.m. I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take advantage of this opportunity to have a conversation with the ombudsperson about seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; care. We would both like to know how you think seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; programs can be improved in our region. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Truth through consequence A few weeks back I experienced going through a restorative justice meeting. It was probably the most intense thing I had ever experienced. It made me wish I had never committed the minor crimes that had caused the family of whose property I had trespassed so much stress and grief. This had started just a few months back when I had begun in my crimes. It continued about seven or eight times for a few months until I had received a call from the police stating that I had been involved in the crimes of trespassing and mischief. I went silent. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the guilt began. I was told that a restorative justice meeting had been set up and we would be told of the meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s date within a few days, but weeks went by without any knowledge of the meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

date. I was given 30 hours of community service and had to help pay for any damage done. I still regret ever even thinking of doing it. After hearing how I affected their family the guilt had become even worse. I thought what I was doing wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect anyone but it had greatly affected their family and I can hardly bear what I had done. I feel that I should have turned myself in but I was a fool. I thought my actions would go without consequences. Just to think none of this would have happened if I never had decided to do what I had done just for a quick adrenaline rush. My stupidity in attempting to commit the crime repeatedly thinking I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be caught was a major factor in the reason I am where I am

today. It was also a sign that if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop now I could end up in jail or worse. I feel like it is the only way I can apologize and show it, and hopefully to anyone who reads this, they can learn from my mistakes and not do such foolish and stupid things. And to the family I have so very wronged, I am very deeply sorry for what harm I have caused you. Name withheld by request Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This letter was written by a participant of the Restorative Justice program. The writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name has been withheld because it is a condition of writing and publishing the letter. The Tribune doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t typically run unsigned letters to the editor but makes a special exception for the program.

A whole bucket of mouldy raspberries to the irresponsible cat and dog owners who fail to spay and neuter their free-roaming pets. By their actions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and you know who you are â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they condemned a litter of kittens to a lingering and painful death from starvation or sickness. Two weeks ago, we discovered the litter of still-blind kittens high up atop our shed, hidden behind a stack of wood. Not wanting to disturb the mother (whoever she was) and separate her from the babies, we left them and started finding homes for when they were old enough to be weaned. Imagine our dismay to find all of the kittens dead, and no sign of the mother. How can somebody put a burden like that on other people? It was heartbreaking and completely unnecessary,

Even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the financial resources to have your pets spayed or neutered, you should at least try to look into options, from a veterinary hospital or the SPCA.

when Jeans Day comes up again; you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disappointed.

Christine Wagner 150 Mile House *** A whole bunch of roses to all the crew at EB Horsman. Every year on Jeans Day they raise money for the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital by having a barbecue. Not only did they put on a great presentation at their shop but they also filled our orders complete with pop, chips and all the trimmings. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a thing. Our whole dealership enjoyed a great lunch and best of all it went towards a great cause. I encourage people to put their orders in at EB Horsman next year

Rising fuel prices affect the bottom line

hoot! Dang it! May has disappeared in a whirlwind long-month of constant activity; it no sooner began, then was gone! The weather was a bit weird and I think (first in my 34 years at Alkali Lake) my lilacs are not going to bloom! We had several frigid mornings this month and I think they just froze to death. Wow â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lilacs are super tough! A fact aptly illustrated throughout the Cariboo by their continued survival on deserted old homesteads, where they thrive long after those who planted them have moved on (or passed away). So many things are linked to-

gether in unalterable sequence and patterns; a single night of freezing temperatures in May results in no fruit in August, zero precipitation in April/May can result in drought/ fires in July, August and September if rains donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intervene soon. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bumper grass growth in our forests/grasslands just adds extra

fuel (old/dry grass) to the looming fear of a worse wildfire threat than in 2009, turning â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonderful stands of old forage leftover from last summerâ&#x20AC;? into a negative factor, instead of a positive one. Urbanites (Vancouverites) are raging at the gas/fuel increases which, in most cases, affects (curtails) their after-work pursuits of pleasure and recreation; less trips to the beach, less cross-border shopping jaunts or fewer other optional excursions! In ranching regions, folks are simply resigned as all trips to most anywhere are really necessary, including the hayfields (ploughing,

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Saturday, June 9 COPA for Kids and Williams Lake Flying Club host free flights The Canadian Owners and Pilots Association and the Williams Lake Flying Club partner to host a free flying session for youth in the community June 9 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Williams Lake airport. Young people ages eight to 18 will have the opportunity to fly but to register must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. There will be entertainment, hot dogs and snacks with 80 to 100 kids expected to attend.

Sunday, June 10 Pedal by the Puddle

The Vancouver Whitecaps FC held its 22nd Annual soccer camp in Williams Lake at the Esler Sports Complex soccer fields Saturday and Sunday. Here, players Riley Derose, 8, and Connor Sutton, 8, chase after a ball while Williams Lake Youth Soccer Association coach Nick Iachetta looks on. Sam Lenarduzzi, Vancouver Whitecaps camp manager, said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s camp had about 80 kids, plus four teams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including one from Prince George â&#x20AC;&#x201D; registered in the rep camp.

Flying club looks to new heights Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Flying Club is hoping to put as many smiles on as many kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; faces as possible. On Saturday, June 9 the club is hosting a free opportunity for youth in Williams Lake to fly. Donna Lee Barbour, treasurer with the WLFC, said 11 of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pilots will be at the Williams Lake Airport volunteering their time giving plane rides to kids in their own personal aircraft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Williams Lake Flying Club, we all own our own planes and we like doing this for the kids because it gives them a chance to experience flying,â&#x20AC;? Barbour said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some kids may have never been in an airplane. They might have been in a big plane but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally different from being in a smaller one.â&#x20AC;? The event, Become a Junior Aviator, is sponsored by the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association

(COPA For Kids), which aims to provide motivational aviation experiences to young people. The WLFC normally hosts the event at Springhouse; however, Barbour said the club is looking forward to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first stint at the Williams Lake Airport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They seem really keen on it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went and looked at the area where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be and it looks great.â&#x20AC;? Ultimately, Barbour said, the goal is for everyone to have fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take the kids up for as long of a ride as we can,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually around 15 to 20 minutes from start to end from the time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up in the air.â&#x20AC;? Last year 78 kids had the opportunity to fly. This year, Barbour said she hopes that number increases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting between 80 to 100 kids this year,â&#x20AC;? she said, and noted there will be entertainment and hot dogs available by donation.

The popular Pedal by the Puddle mountain bike event celebrates its fifth year in the lakecity this Saturday, June 10.

A registration desk will be setup at the airport. Planes some of the WLFC members will be bringing and flying include: a Piper Tripacer, seven Cessnas and a Citabria. Club member Roger Patenaude is also bring-

ing two older planes to put on static display â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 1942 Stearman Biplane and a 1944 Beechcraft Stagger Wing Biplane. The festivities are expected to kick off at 10 a.m. and run until 2 p.m. If weather is an issue June 9 the festivities will be rescheduled for Sunday, June 10.

Rugby teams start with wins Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Rustlers and the Williams Lake Hustlers started their respective rugby seasons out in the win column. The Rustlers, Williams Lake’s men’s rugby team, opened its Central Interior Rugby Union campaign with a 20-19 swatting of the Prince George Gnats Sunday afternoon at the Ottoman Drive rugby fields. Rustlers president Ryan Lee said the tightly-contested win came due to more organized play from the Williams Lake squad. “The keys to the win

were great tackling, organized defence and turnovers,” Lee said. “We were able to capitalize on key turnovers — especially the final try that was a ball stolen from the head in the last scrum and run in for a try.” Lee added several young players currently in high school were brought up to play in the opener. Try scorers in the match for the Rustlers were Cody Tent, Brady Johnson, Brendon Pritchard and Matt Hoffman. Earlier in the day the Hustlers women’s team took on their counterparts from Prince George, prior to meet-

ing them again following the men’s game. Both games were won by the lakecity squad decisively — 29-0 and 40-0. Paul Carnes, coach of the Hustlers, said his team fielded a good mix of veterans and newcomers, who worked together nicely on the pitch. “They were a little bit rusty at first,” Carnes said. “It was their first game, but they came through with good play. “Some of the older girls played very well and led the younger ones.” Try scorers in the morning win were

Claire Lawrence, Jasmyn Niquidet, Alexis Myhre, Kelsey Bisaro, Sheridan Davis and Pam Lawrence. In the Hustlers’ second game Niquidet scored three times while Pam, Carla Twan and Kyla Wejr also contributed tries in the win. The Rustlers are now preparing to travel to Penticton June 9-10 for the Sunfest Tournament, followed by a rematch with Prince George June 16 in the Spruce Capital. Following that, the team hosts its annual Stampede Rugby Tournament July 1-2 at the Ottoman Drive rugby fields.

Minor fastball continues to rally participation Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Minor Fastball Association continues to see its registration numbers grow. Michelle Tenning, president of the WLMFA, said she thinks the increase could be because of a generational cycle. “Years ago there were more than 600 kids playing in this league and now these guys that used to play up here have young families,” Tenning said. “That’s my guess. T-ball registration is up 50 per cent this year.” The WLMFA currently houses four divisions: T-ball (ages four to six), mites (ages eight to 10), squirts (11 to 12) and a mixed pee wee/bantam division (13 to 16). Teams practice from 6

to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Esler Sports Complex fastball diamonds, where games are also played. “We’re up to around 140 kids this year, up from 81 last year,” Tenning said. “It’s been a big difference this year. We’ve gone from two T-

ball teams to five.” Fresh off a tournament Saturday, some local pee wee players are now preparing for a competitive season of summer ball. “We’re hosting Prince George’s BC Summer Games team and provincial team this weekend,” Tenning said, noting

Williams Lake’s pee wee provincial team was selected last week. Games go Saturday at 10 a.m. and will finish around 4:30 p.m.

The Williams Lake pee wee provincial team is preparing for the 2012 provincials, being held this year in Clearwater from July 13-15. Three

2012-13 First Nations Role models inducted Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Eleven First Nations youth were recognized Tuesday evening as School District 27 role models for their fellow students and in their communities. After an official welcome and prayers in First Nations languages and English, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Nations Role Model candidates were escorted in a circle around the Williams Lake Secondary gymnasium by a parent or someone close to them as the outgoing 2011/12 role models, Talia Baptiste and Damion Alphonse read their nomination letters. Although only one boy and one girl would be crowned as the 201213 Role Model of the year, moderator Joan Gentles, First Nations district instructor, noted that every one of the nominees is a role model in their own right. The two young people chosen as the leading First Nations role models this year are well known in the community for different reasons. Kasey Stirling is a Grade 11 honour roll student in the French Immersion program at Columneetza secondary and an award-winning fiddler who can be seen playing with youth fiddle groups in many venues around the city. James Evans is a Grade 11 honour roll student at Williams Lake secondary and a star participant in the B.C. High School Rodeo Association and British Columbia Rodeo Association competitions. Kasey and James, along with all of the other role model candidates also demonstrate commitment to their school and community, leadership qualities, a healthy lifestyle and support for their First Nations culture. During the dedication ceremony Kasey and James were guided through the cleansing and introduction ceremonies by the outgoing role models who crowned their successors. They were each presented with $500 bursaries and a blanket. Joan Gentles also presented Kasey and James each with an eagle feather which were very special to her. Recognizing their status as ongoing role models all of the nominees including Daisha Leon, Holly Stirling, Michelle Billyboy, Mountain Lake Alphonse, Norma Sue Handsor, Rae Alphonse, Raima Sill, Shyanne Quilt and Wendel William were presented with jackets. Following the induction ceremonies a dinner was served. Gentles explained that a team of 14 judges were assigned to go through the nomination packages

The Third Williams Lake Girl Guides are participating in a weed pull project along the Williams Lake River Valley Trail sponsored by the Cariboo Regional District with gloves and bags supplied by Rona. They are raising money for a trip called Hands Across the Border coming up June 8 to 10. Pictured here are Shantae Guichon (left), Sophie Brown, Bailey LeGoffic and Madelaine Brown.

It’s time again to think about re-filling the Salvation Army food bank for less fortunate people in our community. This week offers people the added bonus of spinning the wheel for Save-On-More points with their donations and giving local car dealerships a little exposure at the same time.

Starting today, May 31, and through Saturday, June 2 Save-OnFoods is hosting a food drive with trucks to fill from participating vehicle dealerships in the lakecity. Fill your favourite truck with food at SaveOn-Foods to help out the food bank while also providing local dealer-

ships with a little friendly competition. Lake City Ford, Gustafson’s Dodge, Heartland Toyota, and Cariboo GM/Chevrolet will each have a truck on display at Save-OnFoods. Those wanting to help out the food bank will place their donations in the back of their favou-

rite truck in exchange to “spin the wheel” for Save-On-More points. When considering donations to the food bank remember the needed non-perishable food items such as pasta and pasta sauce, peanut butter, canned or packaged meats, fish, pork and beans, fruits and vegetables.

Cariboo Festival encourages new volunteers Gaeil Farrar photos

Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer It takes many bodies and much dedication to keep the Cariboo Festival Society humming smoothly. The festival society is holding its annual general meeting on Tuesday, June 12 and longtime members are hoping to see some new faces at the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone who is interested in the festival in any way is most welcome to join the annual general meeting and learn more,â&#x20AC;? says president Jane Perry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a really good team of committee members but people sometimes need to step down for various reasons and so volunteers are always needed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and new ideas are welcome! Michelle Erlandson, who wore several hats for the 2012 festival this spring including that of publicity director, also urges people who have an interest in the arts to come to the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our group promotes the arts to a wide age group,â&#x20AC;? Erlandson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The disciplines we work with are writing, speech arts strings, piano, voice, band and other related instruments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have a love for any of these disciplines and would like to promote growth in these areas please consider attending this meeting.â&#x20AC;? Raeleen Campsall, the festival awards chair, adds that jobs are not just dumped into the laps of newcomers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will be guided through either by a person who has done the job before or with the help of our whole committee,â&#x20AC;? Campsall says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each of the five disciplines need help with organizing the entries, scheduling, and programing.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;This might entail help with paperworkÂ or just running around picking up things.Â Other jobs might be helping writing letters asking or thanking for donations.â&#x20AC;?Â She says people who are willing to help during each week of the competition is always needed.Â People also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a musical background to be helpful, she stresses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I, for example, cannot sing, play an instrument,

Campsall says.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;I became involved because our daughter participated for many years in the festival and this is my way of paying back for all of the benefits she gleaned from her festival experiences.â&#x20AC;? Perry concurs: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cariboo Festival needs volunteers for a variety of tasks, including helping with any of the disciplines (vocal/choral, piano, band and instrumental, speech arts, creative writing) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or only at the festival itself next April, whether for a few hours or a few days.â&#x20AC;? Perry says specific tasks wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be delegated until the fall when they know who is continuing

on and who is stepping down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also like to consider each volunteerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests and where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be most happy helping out,â&#x20AC;? Perry says.Â Community donations are also a big part of how the festival is maintained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During each week of the festival, awards are given out for various categories within the competitions,â&#x20AC;? Campsall says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, in voice, junior authentic folk song; in piano, intermediate baroque; in speech arts, impromptu storytelling.Â See MENTORS Page A19

Carmen and Camille lined up for Bella Coola festival Susan O’Neill Special to The Tribune Pop duo Carmen and Camille are a true independent Canadian success story. Though they work in Los Angeles, they still spend time in their home town of Vancouver. Their roots, however, are actually in Bella Coola, with close connections to the Robson and Gurr families. Reared on Pink Floyd, Hendrix, Joplin, and Zeppelin, their love of all music developed with influences as varied as Sheryl Crow, No Doubt,

Depeche Mode and Fleetwood Mac. In 2010, their Juno nominated single, Shine 4U, broke into the top 40 on the Canadian radio charts and landed the girls at #18 on Billboard’s Emerging Artist chart. Shine 4U also won the Chum Emerging Artist Initiative. The result was national Canadian radio airplay with the video landing in rotation on Much Music. With major press from the Much Music Video Awards, Much on Demand, E!Talk, Billboard, Stuff Mag, Elle and several songs from

Carmen and Camille will be on the bill for the annual Discovery Coast Music Festival in Bella Coola July 20-22.

“In total these amount to about 60 trophies/ plaques/medallions depending if all the categories have entries for that particular year.” Major awards are also presented to the best students in each of the disciplines during the annual Honours Concert. “These total 12 trophies/plaques and $2,175 in bursaries and scholarships,” Campsall says. “The cost of engraving and purchasing of trophies comes from the general funds of the Cariboo Festival Society.

The majority of the bursaries and scholarships come directly from the generous donations of individuals, businesses and organizations in our community or region.” She says the festival receives about $1,500. in direct donations and the rest of their budget comes from grants in aid, among them from the City of Williams Lake. Students who qualify for the provincial competition are assisted by the society with the cost of their registration fee and provided with $350 to help with travel and accommodation.

SENIORS SCENE Square dancing keeps people nimble Gaeil Farrar photos Square dancing is a great way for young and older people alike to keep fit. Seniors from Williams Lake and around the province converged at Glendale elementary in Williams Lake last weekend for the Stampede Whirlaways annual jamboree. Pictured at left are Mike and Marie Gibbons (far left) of Williams Lake, John Tutte and Del Hustwait from 100 Mile House and Ellen Wiege and partner George Kroener of Williams Lake.

Pictured at left Ron and Jan Mills came up from Westbank for the jamboree. At right Jim Milliken dances with his partner Denise Johnson. Milliken, formerly of Williams Lake and now of 100 Mile House, takes pride in the fact that he is still square dancing and mountain biking (250 metres at a recent event) at age 91.

“They call the Cariboo home” Joan Huston — a strong Cariboo woman Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Joan Huston has ranched, hunted, guided, timber cruised, managed recreation sites, spent summers officially watching for forest fires, scaled Christmas trees, and raised children, has grandchildren and great grandchildren, and a warm sense of humour. A tall order for a woman who stands about five feet tall. Born in Meldrum Creek, 86year-old Huston has also called Riske Creek, Bear Creek and Soda Creek home. Today she lives at McLeese Lake with her husband Vic Davis. “It’s nice to look back now and think of all the things that went on,” Huston recalls. Her life began in Meldrum Creek where her parents were working on her grandparents’ farm. Huston was one of two daughters born to Orville and Emogene (Stowell) McKay. Huston’s mom, Emogene, was originally from Medford, Ore. Her dad, Orville, was from Redcliff, Alta. Emogene’s parents, Gene and Sarah Stowell, wanted to ranch in the Cariboo because they’d heard there was more feed available so in 1912 they left Oregon and moved north, stopping first in Missoula, Montana and finally arriving in Riske Creek when Emogene was 12 years old. Eventually the Sowells moved to Meldrum Creek onto 160 acres of land, where they homesteaded a place they called Tucky Home. After the First World War, Orville, who had served in the army with the 72 Highlanders for four years, moved to the Cariboo. “He came up to Soda Creek when they were putting the railroad through. He worked there for quite a while and then he drove a jitney on the road from Ashcroft to Quesnel,” Huston says.

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Joan Huston at her son Ken Huston’s home in Williams Lake. While Orville was bartending in Soda Creek, he met Emogene who was then 18 and had moved to Soda Creek and was helping cook and serve food for the railway crews. Huston figures there were about 2,000 people living in Soda Creek at the time. Orville and Emogene were married in Quesnel in 1920. However, soon afterwards they moved out to Meldrum Creek to run the farm because Emogene’s father had returned to Meldford to work as a saw filer. Growing up Huston and her sister Hazel helped with all the facets of the farm. In a self-published book titled Cariboo Hell Raiser, she penned in 2009, Huston recalls many stories from her younger years. Stories about a pet bear, cutting down trees, or the time she and Hazel surprised themselves and won first place at a talent show in Williams Lake. A strong young woman with spunk emerges continuously through the pages. Even the front cover photograph depicts her standing on a horse. The books covers her life until 1949, and some of the remaining details she recently shared with

the Tribune. After she married, she and her husband Pat Huston bought 15 lots in Soda Creek. “We owned pretty near the whole town and then we decided to move away and we sold it. Now it’s all divided into lots and there are houses all through there, but our old barn is there and our old house — the first big house going down into Soda Creek was ours.” She raised two children —

Ken Huston of Williams Lake and Patricia Rochefort of Little Duckworth Lake. Pat eventually passed away and she married Vern Davis. She used to cut all the wood for recreation sites. “I’d take a chain saw with me, and on the way to a lake stop and cut a bunch of pine and haul it out to all the campsites,” she recalls with a chuckle. “In a year or two they got millwrights when they were off work to cut a bunch of wood for me up at the forestry warehouse so then I’d just go there and load it up.” As a fire tower employee she’d stay in a tower 50 feet above the ground alone, working 21 days on, and three days off. She had a bed, a little fridge, and a stove and had to pack water up three sets of stairs. “Quite a chore,” she recalls, adding it taught her to be careful about how much water she used. While it was a long stretch up there, she had books, a TV and a big pot of coffee on because she had lots of visitors. Her husband visited every Wednesday, and a steady stream of wildlife wandered by. “It was really interesting,” she says, adding she took all of her fire training in Williams Lake.

Hot dry summers meant lots of fires and in those days there were other nearby fire towers to communicate with. “I had a big fire finder up there and I would put the fire finder on the fire and give them the numbers and everything and then phone it in.” The bird dog would arrive and if the pilot couldn’t spot the fire, Huston would guide the pilot over to the fire. “In a lightning storm I would keep tabs of all the numbers and put them down. In a few days if it turned warm after a storm like that, then sometimes up to five or six days I would see a fire coming up right where the lightning had struck.” When it came to timber cruising – 30 C was the determining factor. If it was below that the crew didn’t got out, Huston says. Back around 1980, she remembers seeing bug-killed trees and says she and coworker reported seeing a lot of bugs and suggested they be logged. “They said ‘oh no, there had to be a bit more kill than that before we can recommend that.’ It should have been looked at years ago. But then they just took a hold.”
