The Council of Canadians is hosting a support rally today, July 19, for the Kootenay to Kitimat Caravan that is travelling along this route to express opposition to the Enbridge pipeline. The rally will be held at 11 a.m. at Herb Gardner Park just below City Hall. “We bring a message of solidarity from thousands of people in the Kootenays to the people who live on the proposed route of the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline,” a proclamation from the caravan states. “We support you and your right to refuse the pipeline access to your lands, communities, and waters.”

CEAA asks for more info from Taseko Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A review from the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency notes the draft environmental impact statement for the proposed New Prosperity mine did not include some critical aspects of the environmental assessment requirements set out in the EIS guidelines. Taseko Mines Ltd. received a review of its draft EIS for the coppergold mine project on July 6. “The reviewers identified sections in the Draft EIS where information specified in the EIS guidelines is missing, presented insufficient detail to enable a determination of the potential environmental effects of the project,
and/or presented using methodologies that would also preclude such determination,” writes Lisa Walls, director for CEAA. With the letter, Wells enclosed a 44-page screening table containing 222 comments. Taseko’s vice president of corporate affairs Brian Battison describes the review as “helpful.” “This is all part of the process. It was just a draft that we had sent them. We now have the benefit of CEAA’s input and response to the draft so we will now be able to consider those comments and input and complete the document and submit it as a final EIS to the panel,” he says, adding the response was expected and is normal in these cases. “There was nothing raised in CEAA’s comments that
we have not anticipated or that will be difficult to respond to. It’s all pretty straight forward.” He says Taseko should have its final draft ready in a few weeks. Tsilhqot’in National Government chair and Tl’etinqox (Anaham) chief Joe Alphonse alleges if
Taseko thinks the mine is already a done deal, and government is going to accept anything Taseko submits and ram it through, the review is a wake-up call for the company. See MLA Page A2
Pilot OK after crash Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A pilot escaped with minor injuries when his Cessna 185 overturned in Boitanio Lake near Springhouse July 16. The Transportation Safety Board says the pilot was planning a flight to Penticton with a passenger; however, he decided to take a
test flight first and asked his passenger to remain on the shoreline. “While in flight he reported an air speed indication failure and landed hard. During the hard landing, one of the floats failed, causing the aircraft to overturn. The pilot exited the aircraft and incurred minor injuries,” says TSB spokesperson Chris Krepski. The incident took place at 3:35 p.m.

Zach Ditoro was there with his family to enjoy it all. Here he hoists his 14-month-old daughter, Athena, on his shoulder for a better view of the activities.
MLA weighs in Continued From Page A1
“I don’t buy the fact that Taseko was anticipating the response they received on the draft. I think this company is trying to get the project through as fast as they can.” He adds that he’s grateful the review is as full as it is because it will put the environmental assessment back even further.
“Hopefully the environmental assessment is a legitimate process and they are going to be held accountable just like any other company,” Alphonse says. “They may get political support, but there are no political people sitting on that panel.
“I’m happy because we’ll have a new provincial government by then,” he predicts. Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson says the panel has deconstructed the EIS and pointed out all the weaknesses. A copy of the review is available at http://www.ceaa-acee. gc.ca/050/documents/ p63928/80180E.pdf.

Alphonse withdraws petroglyph claims Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Tl’etinqox (Anaham) chief Joe Alphonse says he is withdrawing Tsilhqot’in claims to the petroglyph rock recently repatriated to the Stswecem’c Xgat’tem (Canoe Creek) people. Last week Alphonse met with Stswecem’c Xgat’tem chief David Archie and had a good discussion about the issue and said he’s changed his tune. On June 13, the day the rock was being repatriated from the Museum of Vancouver and being placed near the kiosk in the Churn Creek Protected Area, Alphonse contacted the Tribune claiming the markings on the petroglyph were Tsilhqot’in. While he celebrated the rock’s return, he said he would be contesting its origin. Now that he’s learned the rock was originally taken from Crowsbar on the other side of the Fraser River from Churn Creek Protected Area when it was moved to Vancouver in 1926, Alphonse admits he made a mistake. “I think what led to a lot of confusion was the rock was being relocated to Churn

Creek. It actually did not come from that area. “It came from Crowsbar, an area that we as Tsilhqot’in people don’t have an interest in,” Alphonse says. In May, Phyllis Webstad, repatriation organizer, told the Cariboo Regional District during a presentation the reason for placing the petroglyph rock at Churn Creek was because the Stswecem’c Xgat’tem were not sure if there was a way to place it into its original location. It measures three by five feet and weighs between six to eight tonnes. When it was removed in 1926, it took 10 horses a month to drag it up 3,000 feet from the sandbar to be put on a railcar near Clinton. However, Alphonse says if at any time in the future the rock is placed at its original location at Crowsbar, the Tsilhqot’in would like to be invited and participate in a celebration. “As I said all along, the most important thing is that an artifact’s been returned home. That’s a reason to celebrate for all First Nations.”

Local 2012 FSA results released Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Foundational Skill Assessments results for February 2012 are in and show schools in and around Williams Lake landed above and below the provincial averages. Weighing in, Cariboo Chilcotin teachers association president Joan Erb says she is not a fan of the FSAs. “Standardized testing in any form at best can only provide a snapshot. We find that the damage done by the publication of the FSAs is really detrimental to kids, to teachers, and to parents,” Erb says. Take a look at the students and teachers at Marie Sharpe elementary school for example, she points out. “They’re working hard. They’re dealing with clientele unique upon itself and rather than celebrating all the hard work those schools are doing, we slam them with nobody’s meeting expectations.” Erb hopes the FSAs are going to be phased
out before February 2013. “Let’s take that money and put it into classrooms,” she suggests. “It’s big dollars. The printing and distribution of the exam and the big cost is the marking of the exams. In this local, administrators mark the exams and it takes them five days so they have to hire a teacher-in-charge for whatever school that administrator may be at.” Provincially Grade 4 reading tests results showed that 15 per cent of performance levels were unknown, 16 per cent were not meeting expectations, 59 per cent were meeting expectations and 11 per cent were exceeding expectations. In writing the provincial average was 16 per cent unknown performance levels, 12 per cent not meeting expectations, 68 per cent meeting expectations, and 7 per cent exceeding expectations. For numeracy provincially there were 15 per cent unknown performance levels, 17 per
cent not meeting expectations, 57 per cent meeting expectations, and 11 per cent exceeding expectations. At 150 Mile House Grade 4s were above the provincial average for meeting expectations in reading, and numeracy. Cataline students were above the averages for meeting and exceeding expectations in writing, and meeting expectations reading and numeracy. At Chilcotin Road more students exceeded expectations in writing, and met expectations for numeracy. Glendale elementary school had more students exceeding expectations in reading and writing, while at Kwaleen there were more students meeting expectations for reading and exceeding expectations for writing and numeracy. Marie Sharpe rated below average in all results, while Mountview had more students meeting expectations in reading. Nesika had more students meeting expectations in reading, and exceeding expectations in writing.
In the Grade 7 provincial results for reading 17 per cent of performance levels unknown, 19 per cent not meeting expectations, 54 per cent met expectations, and 10 per cent exceeded expectations. For writing the provincial results were 18 per cent of performance levels unknown, 10 per cent not meeting expectations, 64 per cent meeting expectations, and seven per cent exceeding expectations. Numeracy results showed 17 per cent of performance levels unknown, 23 per cent not meeting expectations, 51 per cent meeting expectations, and nine per cent exceeding expectations. 150 Mile House was above the provincial average with the number of students exceeding expectations in reading, writing and numeracy, and above average for number of students meeting expectations in reading. The number of students exceeding expectations at Cataline for writing and numeracy
was above the provincial average, as well as the number of students meeting expectations in reading and numeracy. At Chilcotin Road, more students exceeded expectations in reading on average, and more students met expectations for numeracy. More Glendale students met expectations in all three categories, while on average more Kwaleen students met expectations in reading and numeracy, and exceeded expectations in reading. Mountview students had more students exceeding expectations in writing and meeting expectations in reading and numeracy. Nesika’s students had more meet expectations in all three categories, and more exceeding expectations in numeracy. “This district has taken leaps and bounds in literacy programs and I think that’s really being demonstrated in the results. The district is doing good work and teachers are doing good work,” Erb says.

Although auto theft has risen since 2011, Williams Lake RCMP Inspector Warren Brown said compared to 2008 auto crime is down. “Last year at this time, which was the all-time lowest auto theft that we’ve had recorded in Williams Lake, we had 10 stolen autos and this year we have 34,” Brown said in his report to city council Tuesday, That 34 is the second all-time lowest the city’s has had after six months, Brown noted. “When I compare it to 2008 we would have had roughly 140 at this time and 2008 was an average year. So even though we’ve upped marginally from last year, we’re still down markedly from prior years.” Brown said the RCMP are aware of a couple of people who are responsible for the majority of the auto thefts. “Those people are known to us as our prolific offenders and those are people that we’ve
targeted in our investigations,” Brown said. In his report, Brown shared stats for the Jan. 1 to June 30 period in 2012 and compared them to other years. In 2012 there were 39 break and enters to residences, compared to 43 in 2011, and 87 in 2008; 12 break and enters to businesses, compared to 11 in 2011, and 35 in 2008; 227 mischief, compared to 221 in 2011 and 316 in 2008; eight robberies compared to 10 in 2011, and 13 in 2008; 270 false alarms, compared to 311 in 2011, and 396 in 2008. Mischief often involves theft from vehicles, which Brown described as the breeding ground for up and coming offenders, those who may involve themselves in break and enter into houses or more significant property crimes. “Quite often or most often crime opportunities arise when people leave things in view in a car that’s locked or unlocked. They’ll see an Ipod or coins or something of that nature.” Spousal assaults are
increasing. There were 50 reported in 2012, compared to 32 in 2011 and 46 in 2008. “I think with the innovations we have in the community with stake holders and community policing there’s been an increase in the number of incidents being reported, not necessarily that there are more taking place. We’re less tolerant of it in our society today and people are reporting more,” Brown explained. This spring the RCMP launched a Domestic Violence Unit, where an officer is dedicated to reviewing domestic assault files and communicating with other agencies, as well as victims and accused persons. “The ultimate goal is to ensure safety during investigations and eliminate the risk of future violence. We will see how this goes and look forward to feedback from the community,” Brown told council. The stats presentation did not include other violent offences. However, Brown reported there’s been an increase in late
spring and summer of targeted assaults, mostly involving youths. “What’s very concerning is the weapon of choice. Prevalent in our community is pepper spray.” There have been robberies using pepper spray, including recent incidents at the skate park and others within the vicinity of Third Avenue and Proctor Street. Safer communities co-ordinator Dave Dickson gave a brief report, and said while summer months see the number of volunteers drop, all community policing programs continue to function. “Especially in restorative justice, we continue to take a number of cases, being that volunteer numbers are down it becomes more of a challenge but we’re functioning well and will be ramping it up again in the fall with additional training for restorative justice and Circles of Strength training in domestic violence,” Dickson said, adding volunteers will be sought for the programs.

A great sister story
The answer is no
D
W
e spent many of our family summers on a boat of some sort as I grew up and we all heard, in detail, about emergency procedures and our important roles, should we be instructed to go into action. My dad had been in the Royal Canadian Air Force so he knew how to train a “crew� properly and he started with our first boat. The emergency stuff sounded like fun, actually, and I, for one, awaited it (whatever “it� was — we were never told) with anticipation. On the way back cross the Georgia Strait late one afternoon when we were very young, we had a chance to practice, for real. We heard a loud, deep thud against the hull, the sound of one engine protesting and then an even louder exclamation of “d__n� from the bridge. Swearing in any form was not acceptable in my family so my mom sprang into action immediately to “protect� us from such expletives. We were quickly hustled into the galley and told, with urgency, to “stay put — Dad is just upset,� When we clammered to know what was happening, she muttered something about this being an emergency and told us to stay out of the way for a while. Then, out she went to help Dad. We looked at each other, recognizing immediately the word “emergency� and we knew what to do. My sister, in particular, was struck by the situation and jumped right into the emergency food cabinet we had been shown, opening every single jar, can and container she could see. It was, after all, an emergency. Mom came back to see my sister sitting in the middle of the galley floor, eating bits of all the food around her — jam, peanut butter, cereal, beans, crackers, canned tomatoes, pickles and on and on. It was quite a sight and Mom just stared in disbelief, trying to fit what she was seeing with my sister’s proud and sticky grin. My sister had heard the magic word “emergency� and had activated what she knew was part of the scenario — emergency food! So, while my dad and the boat’s engines continued with a quiet tirade and a whole set of “unheard� new words, we ate. We couldn’t let the food go bad — yum!

Our Viewpoint
No money woes for MLA retirees Who says it doesn’t pay to be a politician — even for a blink of an eye? With the B.C. Liberals in a freefall and the provincial election 10 months away, a number of MLAs have decided to leave politics. Much is made by some about the sacrifices made by politicians, of the time spent away from family, of the decision to take a break from their career passion — all to serve the public good. And, while it is always admirable to see men and women take an active part in the democratic process, make no mistake — it is indeed a decision that often pays lucrative dividends far beyond anything a working stiff will ever realize. Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer is one of the latest B.C. Liberals to decide against seeking re-election next year. According to Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) figures, Hayer’s 12 years in office will give him an annual pension that will start at $47,600 when he turns 65 and climb to $62,900 when he turns 80. The CTF estimates Kamloops-South Thompson MLA
Kevin Krueger will enjoy an annual pension of $87,700 when he turns 65, one that will rise to $115,700 when he turns 80. All that for 17 years in office. The MLA pension plan is indeed gold-plated as taxpayers chip in $4 for every dollar the MLA contributes. More maddening is the fact the B.C. Liberals, under thenleader Gordon Campbell, campaigned in the 1996 election against exorbitant pension plans. The NDP won and implemented a reasonable pension plan, one in which the taxpayer would add one dollar for every dollar the MLA contributed. In 2007, however, Campbell reversed his position and brought back a trough-laden pension, even going so far as to allow MLAs to buy back years lost for a song. Political pension plans at the provincial and federal levels are a disgrace and do nothing to counter the perception (which is reality) that entering the political arena is the path to setting yourself up for life, with your retirement funded well by taxpayers who can barely get by. — Kamloops This Week

uring the Special Committee on Timber Supply hearings in Vancouver there was a very telling exchange between Liberal MLA Eric Foster (VernonMonashee) and the representative for the Association of Professional Biology that likely reflects the frustration other MLAs on the committee have about the process they’ve been engaged in over the past two months. Like m a n y other orMLA ganizaMusings tions (inBob Simpson cluding the Professional Foresters, the major forest companies, the Council of Forest Industries, and major environmental organizations), the Professional Biologists told the Special Committee that B.C.’s landuse plans should not be re-opened in order to meet timber shortfalls in the near term. Before asking a question of the professional biologist, Foster quipped that it would have “saved a lot of time and energy� if the many organizations that felt this way had simply written a single letter to government. The committee was told time and again that logging in reserves is not an option; it’s clear from the committee’s hearings there is no interest in creating another potential war in the woods by opening up B.C.’s land-use plans. Industry also argued such a move would put B.C.’s reputation as a sustainable forest manager at risk and threaten their third party certification. Another clear message to the committee was that British Columbians do not have confidence in the government’s forest inventory system. Despite assertions by ministry staff to committee members that government has sufficient data to make “strategic decisions,� every presenter who spoke to this issue indicated a significant lack of confidence in the government’s data. Bottom line, the answer to the main question the committee asked is a resounding “no.� It can’t advise government to log in reserves to get more timber in the short term. In the absence of obtaining the social licence to advise government how to increase mid-term timber supply by encroaching on set aside areas, I hope the committee will choose to advise government to do what it should have been doing all along: immediately begin to work with affected communities to plan for the transition to a smaller traditional forest sector and the job losses that may come as a result. The committee’s final report will be presented on Aug. 15. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

More Viewpoints We need to move forward Question of the week Editor:  In a recent article regarding the Williams Lake forestry talks, as written by Monica Lamb-Yorski, where various individuals presented their views, the reporter recorded the comments and presentations by several in attendance. Tl’esqox Chief Francis Laceese likened the spread of the pine beetle to the small pox epidemic of the 1800s. He argues that “they� spread the bug kill so that “they� can get access to green wood. Do these bugs not have wings? He further goes on to say, “You spread the bug kill around just like you spread small pox around back in the 1800s.� Regarding the small pox epidemic he argues “You tried to annihilate us.� It is true that some greedy men did take some blankets from native
corpses and resold them to other natives causing some spread of small pox. This was not the government; this was the action of criminals. And as criminals they should have, and would have, faced justice had they been caught. It is my understanding that these same greedy men also died of small pox. What troubles me about his comments regarding both small pox and beetle kill is a continuous living in the past and of teaching our young to hate. When will reason prevail and society move forward? According the World Health Organization 350 to 500 million people died from small pox, and why did so many in the world die? Simply they had no immunity to this disease. The reason why native populations succumbed to small pox is because they, as other millions before them, had no immu-
nity to this disease. We, the population of the Cariboo Chilcotin, need to have a round table discussion, a large round table where First Nations sit side by side with non First Nations, where we all can share our feelings, where we could put hate aside and learn of each other and learn to love and forgive. We need to do this; otherwise even another 100 years from now there will still be those who are teaching their children to hate. I see absolutely no reason to dislike or even not to love all those who live and are striving for survival in our greater community. As society has Remembrance Day, possibly what is needed here is also a First Nations day of remembrance so that we all can move forward. Â Doug Wilson Williams Lake
When will we cross the climate tipping point? Editor: $29 trillion! The world’s largest corporations made record revenues in 2011 (Shell Oil was number one. Seven of the global top 10 are oil companies).  The one per cent prosper (owning 50 per cent of the world’s wealth) ‌ 50 per cent struggle (sharing one per cent of the world’s wealth). An egregious unstable European and global financial crisis keeps the “eliteâ€? scrambling ‌ “servantsâ€? of the elite writhe wretchedly to control indignant massive social unrest ‌ from socially unjust inequality. Harper pronounces Canada ‌ the envy of the world! Will Canadians respond by not “awakeningâ€? from their “prosperousâ€? dreams of the unlimited megafossil fuel industry? Scientists tell us ‌ expect incremental weather extremes with increasing global warming ‌ worse
than what we see today at 0.08C above pre-industrial periods. They tell us ‌ expect steady consequential global environmental damage as we move toward doubling 0.08C ‌ to an unaffordable/unacceptable 2C (likely by 2030 ‌ 18 years from now). Harper’s response?  Block legally binding agreements ‌ limiting global greenhouse gas emissions ‌ muzzle Federal scientists ‌ cut Canada’s science and science education budgets ‌ cut environmental protection ‌ cut our social safety nets ‌ protect the mega- fossil fuel industry (making 3C to 3.5C likely in 38 years ‌ 2050! ‌ quadrupling today’s 0.08C)? Harper targets “anti-tarsandâ€? bitumen campaigns in Canada, the U.S. and Europe to counter “misinformationâ€? about Canada’s growing greenhouse gas emissions ‌ using tax dollars. Will heat-stressed salmon survive
if current 0.08C reaches 2C in 18 years? We see extreme weather in Canada now. It happens globally. Sea levels are rising. Ocean acidity rising. Mountain glaciers are melting. Arctic (polar) ice decreasing. Perma-frost degrading. Pine beetles killing forests. Larger more frequent wildfires. We see food prices rising with increasing droughts ‌ oil prices increasing as beyond peak-oil extraction and refining costs soar. Harper’s “solutionsâ€? are unlimited fossil fuel development ‌ raising global temperatures? How will we fare ‌ if we allow fossil-fueled global temperatures to reach 4C to 5C by 2100 (88 years)? How soon will it be ‌ when we cross irreversible climate tipping points? Will Canadians help/let it happen ‌ endangering all future generations ‌ even our own children? Herb Nakada Williams Lake

Cops for Cancer fundraising underway Erin Hitchcock Tribune Staff Writer Safer communities co-ordinator Dave Dickson and Const. Chris Ives from the Williams Lake RCMP are gearing up for Cops for Cancer Tour de North in September. The ride will be the second time in a row for Dickson and a first for Ives. “It’s really a neat opportunity,� Dickson says. He was going to ride to support 16-year-old Nicholas Paul, who was going to be the honorary rider, but unfortunately Nicholas died earlier this year after a long battle fighting leukemia. “It’s with a heavy heart that I do it because I built this bond with Nicholas and his family,� Dickson says. “The cancer came back with a vengeance. We thought we had it beat and unfortunately it came back.� Dickson will still ride for Nicholas, but in his memory. On Sept. 14, Dickson, Ives, and other riders will head out on their bikes from Prince George to Prince Rupert — an 850-kilometre trip over seven days. Though Dickson hasn’t set a fundraising goal for himself, he says each rider has to raise a minimum of $3,000. “But every penny counts,� says Dickson, who has lost friends and family members to cancer. “I don’t like to say I’d like to raise $50,000. What I’d like to say is there is the penny that will end cancer. Whatever I can make, if it stops that

Chris Ives will take part in the Cops for Cancer Tour de North in September. wretched disease, I’d be forever grateful.� Last year the Tour de North raised a total of $250,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society and its Camp Goodtimes, a recreation program for children with cancer. Dickson hopes this year’s ride will meet or exceed that amount. Ives, who has been an RCMP member at the Williams Lake detachment since 2009, says riding in the Cops for Cancer Tour de North is something he has always wanted to do. “Const. Ken Davies at the time
was preparing for it, so it just peaked my interest,� says Ives, who has a physical education degree and has been doing more cycling lately to get trained up for the big ride. “I do like to exercise daily if I can and it’s for a good cause.� He says he hopes to exceed the minimum $3,000 fundraising requirement. “I think we will,� he says, adding that though he doesn’t really know what to expect in the tour, he is looking forward to the camaraderie among the riders. “Dave and past participants have
mentioned that it’s a great time,� he says. “Dave has spoken highly of it, that it’s one of the highlights of his life. I am looking forward to meeting the other riders and coming into the communities.� Last week, a fundraising barbecue was held at the Williams Lake & District Credit Union and raised $650 for the cause. Another fundraising barbecue will be held at the Williams Lake & District Credit Union on Aug. 10 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. On Sept. 12 the annual Jail n’ Bail fundraiser will be held in Spirit Square in Williams Lake between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. to raise funds. Last year’s Jail n’ Bail raised more than $20,000 in Williams Lake. Local riders included Dickson, Const. Ken Davies, Cpl. Mike Hacker and Cpl. Brian Evans. Volunteers from the B.C. Cancer Society will again help out this year, and M&M Meat Shops will also provide a barbecue. Other sponsors this year are the Williams Lake & District Credit Union and Canadian Tire. The Williams Lake Truckers Association has also made a large contribution to the cause again this year. Anyone wanting to make a donation can visit www.copsforcancer. ca/tourdenorth or visit the Canadian Cancer Society to drop off a donation. To have someone, whether a family member, friend, boss, or co-worker, thrown behind bars at the Jail n’ Bail fundraiser contact Dickson at 250-392-8701 or e-mail david.dickson@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

Williams Lake Storm U13 Boys Soccer team at the Provincial Championships held in Aldergrove July 5-8. The team thanks all of the sponsors for their financial support, with a special thanks to the team parents for taking the time to support and encourage the athletes in their provincial dreams. After four days of competition, the boys were unsuccessful in bringing home the championship. With one more tournament next month in Chilliwack, the boys have had an outstanding soccer season with three gold medals and numerous wins.
Chimney Lake will be the site of the B.C Water Ski Provincials taking place on July 28 and 29. Parnell Pinette, an organizer and competitor, says roughly 50 people from as far north as Prince George and as far south as Vancouver Island are competing. Locals include Parnell, his 12-year-old son Conley, Brian Doering, and Brent Graham. Age categories range from boys and girls up to men and women over 35. The event, organized by the Pinettes and B.C. Water Ski Provincials, received a $2,500 grant earlier this year from the Ministry of Community, Sport, and Cultural Development’s Hosting B.C. program and further funding from several other local sponsors. “What that does is helps us bring all of our stuff up to the calibre it needs to be, to be a sanctioned event,” Parnell says. Parnell says that in the slalom ski event, there is a six-buoy course, and each time a competitor is successful through the course, the speed increases. “Eventually, they start to shorten the rope each time,” he says. “It gets harder and harder to get through … until you fall.” Conley, who has been waterskiing for the last five years, has moved
up to the under-14 age division, setting a new Canadian record for the under 14 boys jump in the Can-am in Blaine, WA. His distance was 117 feet, beating the previous record of 113 feet. And he came home with a gold metal, so he is off to a good start heading into the B.C. Water Ski Provincials at Chimney Lake. Two weeks after that, he will head to the Canadian Nationals in Calgary. Two weeks after that, he will compete in Saint Louis for the Canadian U14 team. And then he will head to Florida for the Pan American Water Ski Championships for the Canadian team. The B.C. Water Ski Provincials takes
place on the east end of Chimney Lake. The community is welcome
to attend and watch the competitors ski for a win.

Horses help children develop valuable life skills Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer When is an exercise not an exercise? When you are having fun — that’s when. Shauna Walters, now 10, didn’t really like exercise or horses before she met Harley, but a few sessions into their training together, Shauna was right into it. And before long she could do close to 400 core-strengthening exercises in a one-hour ride with Harley. Mind you getting on the back of a big animal such as a horse isn’t that easy. Shauna was super reluctant in the beginning, especially fearful when they had to go up and then — “yuk� — down the hill again. But now, two years into her training with Harley, Shauna goes up and down hills perfectly balanced and confident in her saddle. And a lot of times when Shauna is taking her lessons she sings to Harley, sometimes in French, having been a French Immersion student for the first four years of her schooling. Shauna is mildly autistic and even though she had a horse at home before she met Harley, she didn’t like horses at all before starting to work with Harley and her owner Jane Folka, a Cartier Certified Equine Assisted Learning specialist who runs the Horse M-Powered, equine-assisted learning program in Williams Lake. “A program is designed to meet the needs of each individual with their personal strengths and weaknesses in mind,� Folka says. To build her confidence, Folka started Shauna out slowly, having her work with Harley on the ground in the round pen walking with Harley on and off the lead rope. “She is understanding silent communication and how to give and receive respect which is very important with a horse,� Folka says. After the first few weeks of working with Harley three times a week on the ground, Shauna was up in the saddle and learning how to use leg aids to move her sideways, in a circle or forward and backward. “She built her confidence very quickly,� Folka says. Some of the exercises Shauna does while riding Harley involve core strengthening activities such as putting her arms out to the side and rotating them from the shoulder, or twisting her arms from side to side at the waist or using her legs and the stirrups to stand up and sit down again in the saddle. “Her core is very strong,� Folka

Folka took her initial training in equine assisted learning at the Cartier Equine Learning Centre in Saskatchewan and also studied the Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association program to work with individuals with physical, mental and emotional challenges. Folka works with three welltrained horses. Harley is a 19-year-old quarter horse who has been a member of Folka’s family since she was the age of two and gave Folka’s daughters successful show careers before becoming her top training horse. Harley’s 15-year-old half-brother Turbo, who has been a show horse, lesson horse and enjoyable trail riding horse is Folka’s second training horse. A third horse, is 19-year-old
loan to the program by close friend and assistant in training Tammy Schellenberg. All three horses were bred and raised by Ingrid Plummer of Big Lake then trained by Folka for the program. “The trainability and sweet, kind nature of these horses is a testament to a very successful breeding program carried out by Ingrid Plummer,� Folka says. “They are definitely the teachers and I am the facilitator.� Folka says the equine-assisted learning program meets the needs of people from many walks of life; women who have been abused; family relations enhancement; behavioural development; substance abuse treatment; children with challenging learning disabilities and autism; or just to help individuals build self-awareness, relaxation, and stress relief. The program is designed to help participants to identify their own strengths and weaknesses, promote emotional growth and development, develop teamwork skills, build confidence and self-esteem, personal work ethics, responsibility, appropriate assertiveness, communication skills and healthy relationships. “Leadership skills are huge with this program,� Folka says. In one exercise she will have two children work together to lead a horse. The child holding the lead rope will be blindfolded and the child without the blindfold will guide both the horse and the blindfolded child. Folka says students who come
frustrated soon learn they need to remain calm around a horse to find success with their exercise. In the wild she says horses are preyed upon by carnivores so they have adapted to be very aware of the presence of danger. “A horse can detect the rapid heartbeat of an attacker from 50 yards away so if you are angry or frustrated or afraid they will sense those emotions,� Folka says. If a student is afraid the horse is not sure if there is also something in their environment they should be afraid of as well, Folka explains. On the theory side Folka says students learn to take a horse’s temperature, about deworming and vaccination, how to clean a stall, proper feeding, and brushing. “Nutrition is related back to the learner’s own nutrition and the simple act of brushing a horse promotes bonding,� Folka says. On the practical side students start out learning how to halter and bridal a horse using a dummy horse. It may take several attempts before a student learns how to tie the lead rope to a hitching post but when they finally get it, she says they are elated and feel empowered. Folka says she doesn’t start the equine assisted learning program with children until they are about age eight when they have the ability to understand and focus on the exercises, but therapeutic riding can start as early as age five.

Calgary Stampede adventures with lakecity royals Alexis Forseille Special to The Tribune Travelling to the Calgary Stampede is exciting, but knowing it was the 100th year of the Calgary Stampede sent the excitement level through the roof. On July 5 we arrived in Calgary to begin an adventurous weekend. Friday, July 6 began with Stampede Princess Terris Billyboy and I meeting John Scott, the producer of the Heartland television series and the horses he was supplying us for the parade. It was amazing to be a part of this huge parade. It went directly through downtown Calgary and looped back to our starting point at Fort Calgary. It was incredible to see the amount of people watching the pa-
rade along the side of the streets, in the high rise parkades and on the bleachers specially set up for the parade. The horses we were given simply walked right through despite all the excitement around us and I was very pleased to be granted the opportunity to ride the parade route as visiting royalty, proudly representing our city of Williams Lake. That night we met up with the 29 other visiting royalties for a meet and greet. We had the chance to introduce ourselves to some wonderful young women and to hear about what their royalty life is like. Speaking with other royalty is really helpful for Terris and me as we are just beginning our reign, and any information will help our knowl-

Children first Continued From Page A15 “My two passions in life are children and horses; my heart and soul is working with children with challenges,” says Folka who is wrapping up the Child Development Centre’s Horsing Around summer camp at the Williams Lake Trail Rider’s Arena this week but continues her regular one-on-one and small group sessions with children through to about mid-October. Folka says the program for autistic children includes spending some of their time together in social activities in the community such as going for a picnic and playing mini-golf, taking in the annual Art Walk, going to Scout Island or a park to make new friends and try new activities, WILLIAMS LAKE HTV or volunteering to make
up Good Samaritan gift boxes at Christmas time. The children are involved in planning the outings which helps to build their confidence in different social settings, Folka explains. Folka can be contacted at 250-398-0557 or by e-mail at janewfolka@ live.ca.
the Stampede grounds. We took in various events such as a heavy horse show, a hypnotist show, and Karl Wolf on the Coca Cola stage. Terris and I, plus our chaperones Davana Mahon and Silvia SeibertDubray, also decided to check out the huge trade show in the BMO centre. On our last day we happily worked at a children’s breakfast for kids with MS. We also took in the famous chuck wagon races that night; again we were very fortunate to have our passes as we were given arena side standing room to watch the races. Yet another highlight in a grand weekend! However, after chuck wagon racing our last night finished with a bang. We ended our amazing weekend excitedly watching Paul Brandt at the evening grandstand show which was followed by the nightly fireworks. Overall our experience in Calgary was a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity that I am pleased to have shared with our Princess Terris Billyboy and our chaperones Davana and Silvia. I would highly recommend taking in the Calgary Stampede and enjoying everything it

Third container being filled for WL sister city Sosua Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Another container is in the process of being filled for Williams Lake’s sister city Sosua, Dominican Republic. Several more pieces of equipment needed to set up a dental clinic were donated last week by the Cariboo Dental Clinic. These items include two dental chairs valued at about $10,000 each (used) and dental lights with a total value of about $5,000, (used) plus a few dentist stools. This dental equipment joins a dental X-ray unit donated earlier by Rudy Wassenaar. The equipment in both cases was being replaced with more modern technology but still in good shape for a country where many people don’t have access to dental care. The X-ray unit originally cost about $35,000 and is worth about $10,000 today. Wassenaar said earlier that a technician from the company he buys his equipment from has agreed to volunteer his time to install the X-ray machine and train people in Sosua how to use it properly. Wassenaar is also hoping to make some trips to Sosua in the future to do some volunteer dental work. In the past he has done some volunteer dentistry in Central and South America. The container will be shipped to Sosua later this year and hopefully arrive in December in

MORTGAGE NEWS Why Use a Mortgage Broker There are two ways you can get a mortgage in Canada: from a bank or from a licensed mortgage broker. While a bank only offers you products from their institution a licensed mortgage broker offers you mortgages from Canada’s largest banks, credit unions, and trust companies. This means you have access to hundreds of mortgage products. As a result, you benefit from the security of knowing you’re getting the best mortgage for your needs. Mortgage brokers are compensated by the lenders, at no charge to you, for bringing you to them. A fee is charged only for the most challenging credit solutions, and it’s especially under those circumstances that a mortgage broker can do for you what your bank likely won’t.

“They call the Cariboo home” Patenaudes have long history in the Cariboo Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Sisters-in-law Lynette and Alison Patenaude say present day activity at their homes at and near 153 Mile House is tied to over a century of history that began when Italian immigrant Louis Crosina and his wife Clara (Noble) took out a pre-emption in June 1903, and built themselves a small log home at 153 Mile House. The Crosina home eventually grew into a store and a roadhouse, surrounded by a settlement that included big log barns, a blacksmith shop, a new store, and a ranch. For the next three decades the Crosinas lived and worked there until Clara died in 1936, and Louis moved away to live with their daughter Dolly until his own death in 1943. The eldest daughter, Alice Lillian Crosina (‘Lil’), purchased the property and remained on the homestead, hiring Bryson Patenaude and his son Joe to take over ranch operations. Bryson was originally from Quebec and came west with his father Ernest. He met his future wife Rena who was in Horsefly teaching. They were both teachers, had two boys — Joe and Bernard. The Patenaudes also ran a hotel in Horsefly. “The hotel had the first pool table in the Cariboo, brought up by wagon from the coast. The hotel burned down one Christmas day, when the family was visiting at the 153 Mile Ranch,” says Lynette who married Joe’s son Larry. Rena eventually left the Cariboo for Victoria, taking her sons with her. She ran rooming houses behind the parliament buildings. Bernard remained in Victoria and Joe returned to the Cariboo to live and work with his father at the ranch. Around 1946, Peggy Alaric, who had been cooking for her dad at Harper’s Camp at Horsefly, met

Lynette Patenaude with her husband Larry at the 153 Mile Ranch. The photograph was taken in April 2008 before Larry passed away in September of that year. Joe and began helping Lil at the 153 Mile store. Peggy and Joe were married. They had five sons, although two died when they were young children. After Lil had a heart attack in 1958, she sold the ranch to Joe and Peggy, but stayed on to work at the store until her death in 1963. In 1967, the Patenaudes formed the 153 Mile Ranch Limited and gave their sons — Rusty, Larry and Roger — shares in the ranch. The ranch and the boys became the couple’s “pride and joy,” Lynette says. Throughout the next few decades the ranching operation grew. The family purchased a portion of the 150 Mile Ranch in 1974, purchased the remaining portion of the Mountain House Ranch in 1986, followed by purchasing part of the YS Ranch Properties. When Lynette married Larry in 1972, the 153 Mile Store was being used for storage, having been closed after Lil’s death. One day Peggy decided she wanted to turn the store into a museum.
“The other daughters-in-law and I got in there and helped her clean it all up. She wanted to show it to people and she did that very lovingly for almost 30 years,” Lynette recalls. Today Lynette owns about 450 acres, the portion of the main ranch she and Larry obtained when they broke away from the main ranch in 1994. Her property contains the old store, so her daughter Amber gives tours by appointment. When old timers come in they can look through the old receipt books and might find their family name and see what their family purchased. “Years ago the books were put on microfiche in Victoria,” Lynette explains, adding some of the records go back as far as 1899. Lynette and Larry had two daughters — Rena and Amber. Larry passed away in September 2008, but Lynette says she’s content to remain at 153 Mile. “It’s beautiful property with rolling hills and hay crops. My grandchildren are here, I have a lovely home and a big yard. Roger helps with fencing, irrigating and haying my fields.”
In November 2011, her daughter Rena Johnson opened a home decor and gift store called the Rusty Bucket on the family property. Lynette runs the store on Wednesdays, so Rena can do her “town stuff” and the books. Amber also lives nearby and has a greenhouse, a couple of cows, and loves to give tours of the old store. After Larry and Lynette went on their own, Rusty and Roger continued to ranch with about 1,000 head of cattle up until 2009 when they divided the remainder of the 153 Mile Ranch Limited. “We’ve been on our own for two years. Our ranch is Carpenter Mountain Ranch, what was historically known as Mountain House Ranch and it’s at 158 Mile,” Roger’s wife Alison explains. There’s a summit on the property that was always called Carpenter Mountain, hence the name. The ranch was developed before 153 Mile and was originally a stage coach stop. In fact, the Crosinas lived there before taking out their pre-emption. Alison came to Williams Lake in 1975 to work at the hospital as
a nurse, which she did up until her retirement. She met Roger in Williams Lake through a classmate. They were married in 1977. “When I finished nursing, the jobs were in the north and they were encouraging us to go elsewhere. I was from the first class of nursing at Cariboo College in Kamloops,” Alison recalls. “I worked at the hospital up until two years ago.” Ranching poses challenges, Alison says. As long as she’s known the Patenaude family, they have had other business interests that supplemented ranching, such as logging, gravel trucks, fertilizer sales, and solid waste disposal. Over the years Roger and Alison have received loads of help with ranching from their local community. “There’s a lot of work and we get a lot of support from our friends and neighbours for branding and other things. They come over and help us out, and for a day of work you try and make them the best meal you can.” When she first arrived, most of the neighbours were ranching, but as time’s gone on that’s become less of the case. “The places around us might have a few horses and cows, but ranching is not their main interest. I think that’s the way it’s going to go. Some of the ranches that are for sale list monthly mortgage payments and looking at those I think you’d be hard pressed to cover you mortgage, let alone your other expenses,” Alison says. Alison and Roger have two children — Colleen and Bryson. Colleen lives and works as a nurse in Williams Lake and Bryson is a mechanical engineer in Kamloops. Rusty continues to operate as 153 Mile Ranch Ltd. raising cattle. He and his wife Heather had two daughters; Tania is a massage therapist in Williams Lake. Sarah lives in Creston and dairy farms with her husband. Joe Patenaude resides in Lac La Hache.

May 3, 1957 - July 14, 2012
You’d think aŌer this long the words would come faster. One learns to cope, the best one can, aŌer such a disaster. Losing you wasn’t supposed to happen, so early on in life, It cut deep to the bone, leŌ invisible scars, that emoƟonal knife. Years have gone by, many things have now changed, But one thing stays constant, our love for you remains the same. Our growing family stays strong, holding your memory Ɵght, Each of us will see you again, when our Ɵme is just right. We’d all make you proud dad, this I know well, We love the old stories your trucker friends tell. Thanks for the lessons, some good and some...well bad, We’d wait forever for one day, for Ɵmes like we had. Now they say “it’s not being noƟced when you enter a room” that means a thing, Its how much you are truly missed, by not being there, that leaves a sƟng. On the day you were mourned, the town literally stood sƟll, You insƟlled in us your conĮdence, your respect, but most importantly, your will. And those who say “Ɵme heals all” never lost someone quite like you, Because with the roar of a gorilla and the heart of a teddy bear, so rare comes a man to Įll those shoes.
With Love your enƟre family XO
It is with sadness in our hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of our dear daughter, sister, mother, wife, aunƟe and friend, Barbara Lynn de Jong (Golightly) (Driver). Barb leŌ us suddenly on July 14, 2012 in Red Deer, Alberta with her loving Husband and loving Daughter at her side. Barb was born May 3, 1957 in Williams Lake. She graduated from school in Williams Lake and went on to a very successful nursing career. Barb will be sadly missed by her mother Freda Driver; two brothers Clayton (Arla) and Murray (Katharine); son Jarod (Dawn); daughter Lindsay; loving husband Hans and many many more friends and family. Barb was predeceased by her father Roy Kilner Driver in 1987. A Service will be held at 4:00 pm on Saturday, July 21st at the Seniors AcƟvity Centre. In lieu of owers, donaƟons can be made to the Canadian Diabetes AssociaƟon and the Heart and Stroke FoundaƟon. UnƟl we meet again.
