Weather outlook: Cloudy with showers today, sun tomorrow.

Draft pool upgrade plans unveiled Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Around 75 residents and local politicians showed up Thursday evening to hear about possible upgrades to the Sam Ketcham Pool. A draft proposal from Professional Environmental Recreation Consultants (PERC) features a new six-lane pool built in the existing pool’s spot, along with a new leisure pool boasting a fountain, slide, lazy river, and warmer temperature that would replace the existing hot tub and kids pool. In addition, a second floor would be added over the change room area for an expanded exercise facility. The new design would replace a lap pool that’s on “borrowed time,” and increase the facility’s ability to offer fun and means for therapy, PERC owner Brian Johnston told the audience. “We looked at five options and feel this one is the best of solutions.” The present pool was built in 1981, parts of it are at the end of its life, other parts such as the new change rooms built in 2007, are in good shape.

“The lap pool is leaking and losing water. This upgrade would offer 50 years of life,” Johnston said. Estimated costs for the upgrade are $11.3 million. If the community could raise $3.3 million, then the remaining $8 million would result in a 39 per cent tax increase for recreation services. Tax payers would see an additional $2.25 per $100,000 of assessment for $50,000 in annual net operating costs for the upgraded facility and another $30.40 per $100,000 of assessment for capital debt servicing. Presently taxpayers in the city and outlying fringe areas pay $87 per $100,000 for recreation services. Johnston said the increase would bring Williams Lake up to an average level of funding recreation in comparison to other communities in B.C. It is the second time PERC has been in town for public consultation. Last time the company was in Williams Lake, Johnston and architect Bruce Carscadden talked with 250 people. They heard that no pool is not an option, that keeping what exists is not good enough, but being without

a pool for a year while a new one is being built, is a concern. They also heard that parking is an issue and if the complex is expanded, it will take up more of the parking area. The new design would only extend to the side and front of the area alongside the fire lane, and would not take up parking. After the presentation, members of the public asked questions and heard the construction time frame would be two years because it would occur in phases. There would be a time period without a lap pool, however the leisure pool could accommodate some lane swimming. Johnston also said if the community only wants to replace the lap pool with a new one in the exact spot, that would cost around $2 million. Peter Bowman asked how much a brand new facility would cost and heard the price tag for that would be $17.5 million. That option would see a new pool built where the parking lot is. The old pool would remain open, as long as it was still functioning, until the new

one was ready to open. Elke Reiner said she wouldn’t be in favour of the proposal because she doesn’t feel it takes into account economic growth. She would like to see a larger facility and asked why a 50 metre pool wasn’t being proposed. Johnston responded that size of pool is designed for communities with 350,000 people or more. Residents are encouraged to view the draft plan and respond with suggestions by Nov. 2. Both the city and the Cariboo Regional District have placed the plan on their websites. The city at http://www.williamslake.ca/ newpool.html and the CRD at cariboo.bc.ca.

NEWS

Fringe fire referendum now one question Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Changes have been made to the upcoming Cariboo Regional District fringe fire protection referendum set to take place Nov. 24. Instead of two separate referendum questions for fringe area D, E and F residents, as previously approved by the CRD, residents will now only answer one question. They will be asked whether or not they want to continue to receive fire protection from the Williams Lake Fire Department, based on a cost of approximately $129 per $100,000 of assessed value. If the referendum fails, residents will be without fire protection as of Dec. 31, 2012 when present agreements in place expire. The decision comes after a special CRD board meeting was held Friday afternoon. Chair Al Richmond said he called the meeting because the CRD received petitions from residents living within 13 km of the 150 Mile Volunteer Fire Department about the referendum question covering their area. That original referendum question asked those residents whether they wanted their fire protection to be provided by the 150 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department at an approximate rate of $68 per $100,000 of resi-

dential assessment. Of the petitions received, 24 people said they wanted to remain under Williams Lake fire protection, 11 people wanted to move out of the Williams Lake boundary to that of 150 Mile, and one person wanted no fire protection. “When we received the petitions I wasn’t going to call the meeting unless a director requested one. When I did get that request, I convened the meeting to let the board make the decision. As you saw today, the board chose to reconsider the motion we passed on Oct. 4 when we approved two referendum questions,” Richmond said. At the special board meeting, Area F director Joan Sorley said she had received several phone calls and e-mails in the last two days with the majority of people in her area saying they wanted to opt for fire protection with 150 Mile House. Half a dozen members of the public sitting in the CRD board room during the meeting said afterwards they were there because they wanted to opt for 150 Mile House because it’s much cheaper at $68 per $100,000 of assessed value. All members of the board attended the teleconference meeting, except for Area K director Chad Mennett. Those in attendance voted in favour of go-

ing with one referendum question, except for Area F director Joan Sorely and Area D director Deb Bischoff. “I am very disappointed,” Sorley said afterwards. “I feel like I’ve let down my constituents because I don’t think they will get the best deal. It is my job, though, to support the board’s decision and that’s my intent to make sure people get enough information to make an informed choice, and that it’s important they vote.” Mayor Kerry Cook said the original referendum question for Area F residents living within 13 km of 150 Mile House only gave people the option to go with 150 Mile House or have no fire protection. “The city’s position is not to influence the referendum, but giving the option of no fire protection at all was not something we were in support of. We want to

make sure people have all the information and the choice to continue with fire protection,” Cook said. Sorley told the Tribune there’s no point in going back and revisiting what happened; however the Area F question wasn’t as easy because the CRD didn’t receive many surveys from those constituents. That is something Richmond addressed at the meeting’s close. “Fifteen surveys from 200 people is not many. The silence was not golden and we found ourselves at a dilemma at the eleventh hour because of it,” he said. Bischoff was visibly upset after the meeting and said she supported Sorley’s desire to represent her constituents. “If director Sorley says that the majority of her people wanted to go with the original referendum then I support her,” she said. She also voiced disap-

pointed that more time wasn’t spent consulting with the community, and that it took so long for an agreement to be presented. “The cities of Williams Lake, Quesnel, and the Regional District received letters in October 2010 from the province notifying that it wanted to opt out for fire protection service delivery,” Bischoff said. “This is really important. Sixteen hundred property owners need to be provided with fire protection, that is the issue. I also think that recent comments being made to the media are getting in the way of this looming deadline.” If the referendum passes and there are people that want to opt out and come under protection from 150 Mile House later then the CRD could help get together a petition, Sorley said. “Although that is not an option at this point,” she emphasized.

NEWS New Junior Youth Council elected to WL city council Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A full house packed city hall chambers Oct. 9 for the swearing in of the new Junior Youth Council. For the third year in a row, Williams Lake city council has elected a Junior Youth Council. Newly elected and returning members Al-

exandra Dickens, Cody Haley-York, Ivona Ognjanova, Jaspreet Mattu, Nikita Rowat, Ryan LaBossiere and Tanner Nickel were sworn in individually, with acting chief administrative officer Geoff Goodall officiating. Addressing the new council members, Mayor Kerry Cook explained to the gallery that the group has been

chosen by their peers. “We welcome young leaders and looking forward to hearing their ideas. Your role is to communicate to council the issues, needs and recommendations of youth,” Cook said. She thanked the youths for stepping up to the plate and for wanting to make a difference in the community.

Machetes and bear spray used in local street fight Shortly after 9 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 11, the Williams Lake RCMP responded to the 1100 block of 2nd Avenue North for several complaints related to a street fight. Upon police arrival, the alleged melee could not be located; however, a few pedestrians were located in and around the area. In speaking with these witnesses, it

was confirmed that several people engaged in a serious physical altercation where machetes and bear spray were used. Two of the combatants were later located at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital with related injuries however were uncooperative and did not wish to disclose any information. These individuals are well known to the police

and the attack appears to be mutually agreed upon by both sides. The RCMP is still looking into the matter to determine if there are any other victims as well to identify the aggressors. If anyone has information regarding this incident, they are encouraged to call the Williams Lake RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Police respond to more than 80 calls over weekend Williams Lake RCMP responded to more than 80 calls for service over the weekend, ranging from a traffic accident, to break-ins, disturbances, thefts and intoxication. Oct. 12 At 11:46 p.m. the RCMP received an anonymous complaint of a fight in progress at a residence on Dog Creek Road. Police attended and talked with two men, both of whom were uncooperative, but admitted to fighting with each other. Both men had only minor injuries and did not want medical attention. Police determined the incident to be a consent

fight, both males were arrested for causing a disturbance and were later released without charge. Oct. 13 Police responded to a complaint at 3:38 a.m. of a male who was breaching his conditions. Follow-up investigation resulted in the arrest of a male identified as the perpetrator and at the time of arrest he was found to be in possession of a weapon dangerous to the public. Charges of mischief as a result of the male breaking a window at a residence are also being investigated. Police were informed of a fight between two males in progress out-

side a residence on Midnight Drive at 5:27 a.m. Police arrested a male in a residence. The follow-up police investigation revealed that the fight between the two men was by consent, there were no weapons involved and consequently no charges are being contemplated by police. Police received a complaint of a stolen pickup truck from 3rd Avenue North. The owner of the vehicle called in at 12:28 p.m., stating that he was on his way down to Kamloops from Fort McMurray and stayed the night in Williams Lake. The owner believed the truck was stolen some time between midnight

and noon. The truck was later recovered at 11:40 p.m. at the 1712 km marker of Lyne Creek Road, damaged as a result of a collision with a tree. The incident is still under investigation by police. Oct. 14 An employee at the Friendship Centre at 99-3rd Ave South in Williams Lake called at 1:15 a.m. to report two individuals who were intoxicated and yelling at people walking by. One of the individuals had brass knuckles on his hand and was using it to intimidate the people he was yelling at. Police responded and the two perpetrators were located. Both were in-

toxicated. Upon arrest, one of the individuals was searched and brass knuckles were located in his pocket. Charges are pending. A concerned neighbor contacted reported at 1:43 a.m. that to two non-white males slashing the tires of a vehicle on Pigeon Avenue. The two suspects were described as wearing a grey hoody and other with a yellow hoody. Police patrolled area with negative results. The perpetrators were responsible for slashing 4 Dunlop 37” tires valued at $3,000. At 4:04 a.m. police responded to a report of a break-and-enter to an apartment on 2nd Avenue. The resi-

dent woke up to a loud noise, finding the patio door smashed and a $2,200 MacBook laptop stolen off the living room table. A large rock was used to gain entry through a side patio door. The suspects immediately fled. The matter is still under investigation by police. Police responded to a collision on Mackenzie Avenue North and Soda Creek Rd. at 10:30 a.m. between two vehicles. Police attended the scene and requested paramedics. A witness stated that a vehicle was right behind him as he was heading south on Mackenzie Avenue when a vehicle failed to yield to the vehicle

behind and tried making a left turn on soda Creek Road. Both vehicles collided and were not drivable. Two parties involved in the motor vehicle incident were traumatized and transported to the hospital for examination. The police investigation resulted in a ticket for failing to yield being issued to the offending party involved in the incident. Police responded at 10:11 p.m. to a report that a rock was thrown through a living room window at a residence on 2nd Avenue North. A bottle of rum, a bright yellow high visibility jacket and cigarettes were stolen.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer When 10-year-old Carol Begg heard that a student at her school was battling liver cancer she decided she needed to help fundraise so his family could be with him when he was at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. Carol attends Glendale School and learned about six-year-old Chase Lamont’s cancer from her Grade 5 teacher. “I felt badly for him and started raising money two weekends ago. I made up a chart and a little write up about Chase,� Carol said. With help from her sister, Elana, she raised about $100. While Carol was playing on her Girls Atom Hockey team, Elana went around the rink asking for donations. Carol hopes she can meet Chase some day. “It was sad knowing that he was supposed to be in Grade 2

Enbridge implications unclear

C

ome on-a my house, my house, I‘m gonna give you everything.  Only it’s not Rosemary Clooney singing, it’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper with his Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Act (FIPPA). Andrew Nikiforuk, the  award winning  investigative French journalConnection ist; Osgoode Diana French L a w Professor Gus Van Harten, a specialist in international investment law; and MP Elizabeth May, Green Party Leader, are among those who came out swinging against FIPPA. Critics say the new agreement will give Chinese national oil companies more power over our energy markets and even our politics than we have ourselves. It could also change the debate over the Northern Gateway pipeline. All Enbridge needs is an investor from China. Then, if the pipeline gets the nod, the Chinese backer could insist that only Chinese labour and materials be used on the project. The Chinese companies would have “the right to full protection and security from public opposition.â€? Canada couldn’t limit the corporations’ access to the resources they needed either. What’s scariest is the Chinese interests could sue in secret courts if the BC government tried to stop the pipeline. Both Premier Clark and opposition Leader Dix have threatened to do that.  Mr. Harper signed the 31-year treaty Sept. 9, and tabled it in the House of Commons Sept. 26 with no press releases, technical briefings or debate. It is set for automatic approval Oct. 31. Ms. May tried unsuccessfully to get an emergency debate. Given the implications for B.C., it’s odd our provincial politicians aren’t howling. Canada has trade deals  with  other countries but Mr. Van Harten says FIPPA undermines basic Canadian principles of public accountability and open courts, raises the stakes of Chinese takeovers in the resource sector,  and  will tie the hands of  elected governments for three decades.  What happened to “O Canada, we stand on guard for theeâ€??

Our Viewpoint

We need more support If only half of the outpouring of love and support directed towards Amanda Todd had come a week earlier, there’s a good chance the B.C. teen would still be alive today. The 15-year-old Port Coquitlam girl committed suicide last Wednesday, a month after posting a haunting video to YouTube detailing her years of abuse from harassment and bullying both at school and online. Todd posted the nine-minute video online at the beginning of September, showing her holding up a series of hand-written cards describing the anxiety and depression she was suffering. The video ends with her note: “I have nobody. I need someone.� The story of her tragic suicide has captured the attention of media around the world, and more than a dozen online memorials have been set up on Facebook, with one already boasting more than 500,000 “likes.� Police have about two dozen investigators sifting through leads to find any evidence that could result

in charges against individuals, while hundreds of tips are pouring into an e-mail account set up by RCMP. While we hope police are successful in identifying those responsible for tormenting Todd, that will do nothing to prevent a repeat of this heartbreaking story. Coroner Barb McLintock said in order for her to make recommendations to prevent similar tragedies, issues ranging from school and mental health support, to cyber and social media bullying must be explored. We must all do all that we can to prevent any more young lives being needlessly cut short. Parents, please talk to your kids. Let them know they are loved and they always have somewhere to turn; and just as importantly, help them to understand pain that can be caused through words, and what we all stand to gain from their offering comfort and support to a classmate in need. - Penticton Western News

ducation is important ­â€” making sure that our kids start off on the right foot is every parent’s goal, and having wellfunded schools is vital to making that happen. An investment in education is perhaps the most important investment we can make, because it is an investment in the future of our communities. This MLA week, I want Musings to take Donna Barnett s o m e time to talk about our children’s education. So how are we doing here in Cariboo-Chilcotin? In the 2001/02 school year, School District 27 had 7,847 students and a $54.7 million budget. The number of students has declined in the decade since, but the funding hasn’t - for the 2012/13 school year, with just over 5,000 students, we have a $52.8 million budget. When you do the math, this means that the amount of funding per student has steadily increased during that time, from $6,972 per student in 2001 to $10,549 per student in 2012. We’re investing much more per child than we were ten years ago. We’ve also brought down class sizes to make sure that our kids get the individual attention they need, reducing the number of classes with more than thirty students by a wide margin since the 2005/06 school year, and we have invested in programs to make sure our kids get ahead. Here in School District 27, we have invested over $1.1 million in the StrongStart BC program. StrongStart BC is a free drop-in early learning program for preschool kids and their parents, where a childhood educator leads activities like story-telling, music and arts. This helps young kids, at a crucial stage in their development, grow socially, emotionally, and linguistically, while they become comfortable in a school setting. With that kind of investment in our children’s education, we can be sure that our kids will have the best possible start in life. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Changes to meat inspection needed Editor: I am following up on Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson’s article entitled “Let’s fix this Mess� in the Oct. 2 issue of the Tribune. Early in December 2011, a group of producers wrote up a proposal for government to consider regarding changes to the Meat Inspection Regulations (MIR). At the time, many South Cariboo producers and residents were concerned with the pending end of slaughter at Findlay Meats, which took effect on Dec. 31, 2011. We firmly believe that the cur-

rent MIR legislation had created a gap in licensed slaughter. We asked that the government explore the establishment of another level of licensing which would close that gap: veterinary inspection at small facilities for farm gate sales and own use only. This level of license would not allow for retail or restaurant sales, which is what the current Class A and B licenses provide but would provide rural residents with affordable access to a clean slaughter of local meat through farm gate sales. We requested that the government run a pilot project to that

I would like to thank the two girls driving the red car who helped me to my feet after I stumbled and fell on my nose, which caused it to bleed. It wasn’t as bad as it looked. Thank you for phoning the ambulance. With thanks, Jack Telfer *** A big bowl of raspberries to the department within the City of Williams Lake that is responsible for our archaic sani dump station down at the Stampede grounds. For years now RVs have come equipped with a special feature that allows you to do a more thorough clean out of the holding tanks, but, unfortunately it requires the ability to hook up a hose to your RV — which we are unable to do because they have not installed a hose bib permitting that, despite being asked, now, for three years running. Even little old 100 Mile House has one. Hopefully they’ll have one for next year. N. Lay *** We would like to publicly hand out roses to Markey Mechanical Ltd. for their tremendous generosity and compassion in the repairing of our furnace. We will be forever grateful and

thankful for their service and concern for us. The Babiuks *** This year was no exception, a garden full of roses to Gabe and Peggy at Bell-E-Acres for hosting our annual fishing trip, the wonderful volunteers, Lions, Lioness Ladies, Deni House, plus many other wonderful community members that came to help! Again we enjoyed the opportunity to fish, have a great picnic, enjoy friendships and share those never ending fishing stories. Just wait next year, you may see us cruising in those fun looking Go-Karts. Tamara Bush, Recreation Coordinator Deni House Adult Day Services & Residential Care *** A big crab trap full of roses to Grant for taking us crabbin’ in Bella Coola this summer; he took time out of his busy weekend to show us how it’s done and even packed us up some to take home. We look forward to seeing you next summer, Grant. Thanks again. Ethan Erickson Brink, 10, and Jonas Erickson Brink, 8 *** A basket full of roses to the Cen-

We took our proposal to Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and asked her to forward it through the appropriate government channels. Since that time, MLA Barnett has supported our efforts in every possible way, working tirelessly in advising us on how to wind our way through the bureaucratic haze

involving this issue, engaging her colleagues, setting up conference calls and meetings with Ministers for us. In short MLA Barnett has been fabulous. Our proposal for veterinary inspection has received support for many corners, including letters of full support from the Cariboo Regional District, the Canim Lake Indian Band, a letter of intent from our local veterinarian, a letter of support from the BC Cattlemens Association, to name a few. In addition, Cariboo Regional District Area G director Al Richmond, from the South Cariboo, has also fully supported this

proposal in every way possible, alerting his colleagues in different regional districts throughout the province, some of which are experiencing the same frustrating lack of facilities as we are. We are delighted that Mr. Simpson has also joined aboard this movement, seeking to improve the MIR to meet the needs of rural BC, for the sake of his constituents in the North Cariboo. Our group and MLA Barnett welcome all the support for our proposal. We encourage rural residents to have their voices heard. Diana Wood Lac la Hache

Changes inevitable Editor: Understandably there is a measured degree of anxiety regarding Grade 7 students at the same school as Grade 12s. At Williams Lake Secondary School there is a group of 20 Grade 12s , the ‘Go to Team’, whose mandate is to support younger students and to suppress bullying. In my four years of leading the Go to Team I have yet to encounter a case of a Grade 12 student putting pressure on, or bullying a Grade 8 student. Not a single case. In this year’s survey of 94 Grade 8s we asked: since you’ve come to WL have you been pressured by Grade 12s to do drugs? To smoke cigarettes? To drink alcohol? To have sex? Of the 94 Grade 8s surveyed, not one student answered in the affirmative. My personal observations and the survey data substantiate the literature; bullying is peer based, same age. One and two year age differences are the norm. With that said, change is difficult. When change came to Anne

Stevenson and the school hit the chopping block, we had a population of just over 300 students. At the public closure meeting, 600 people jammed into the gym, crammed into the stairways, and spilled out on to the grass. The meeting was ripe with passion, and the trustees who braved the meeting faced parents yelling and stomping in unison. Fast forward, Oct. 2, 2012. The 300 people who showed up at WL to discuss the Board of Trustees’ proposal were in comparison, tepid and well managed. The Grade 7 to 12, one school, two campuses concept, proposes a population of 1,600 students and 3,200 parents. Three hundred people attended the WL meeting. There is a question that speaks loud and clear. Where were the other 2,900 parents? We can conclude that they have some degree of acceptance and belief in the Board’s proposal. Change is imminent. Mike Levitt, M.A. Counselling, WLSS

Bear behaviour can be unpredictable at times Editor: Responding to Sandra LynchBakken’s comments about my earlier letter, it would appear we live in some sort of parallel universe, she lives in one where bears all have names like Yogi and Winnie-the-Pooh. She states bears are omnivorous, a large part of their diet is vegetarian not meat, but that confirms what I said, that they eat

LETTERS ALWAYS WELCOME

anything and everything. During the last couple of months they have been filling up on salmon, not daisies and dandelions. She states, “without a doubt your cats, dogs and children are safe�. Timothy Treadwell, known as Grizzly Man, believed the same. He went camping with his gullible girlfriend in Alaska to film a documentary. While filming and approaching a bear, the bear attacked, the audio contin-

ued recording. This audio has never been released because it is too gruesome. Both were partially eaten while still alive and eventually died. Closer to home a 31-year-old mountain biker in Windermere, Robin Kochorek, was killed by a black bear. She was physically fit, riding a fast bike and couldn’t escape. In 1994, 70 Mile House, a fouryear-old Ian Dunbar was killed in

his back yard by a black bear. In 1996, a 55-year-old rancher, Svend Satre in Tatlyoko Lake was stalked for a half mile by a black bear while riding his horse. The bear leaped off a high bluff, knocked him to the ground and killed him. The only time I would guarantee you are safe from a bear attack is from Christmas to New Years when they are hibernating. I am grateful that our local con-

servation officers have done their best not to have a tragedy here. Relocating bears sounds nice but you are only introducing a problem bear to a dominant bear’s territory. The dominant bear chases the problem bear away or there is a fight, one bear will die and one will probably be badly injured. Alan Trenzek Williams Lake

E-filing for courts expands The B.C. Court of Appeal is making it easier for users to file court documents. “It is imperative that we continually look for ways to streamline the justice system and make it easier for the users of our court system. In addition to being green, this project is just one of the steps we are,” Minister of Justice and Attorney General Shirley Bond said. E-filing was piloted over the past year by a number of B.C. law firms, and now the Court of Appeal would like to invite other users to file their court documents online. Electronic filing or e-filing of civil documents can be processed through Court Services Online, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Examples of documents that can be filed in a civil appeal in-

clude: notice of appeal, leave to appeal, notice of cross appeal, appearance, notice of motion, affidavit, certificate of readiness, application to vary, leave to intervene, indigent application, notice of settlement or abandonment, letters, requisition, registrar’s appointment, bill of costs, and certificate of costs. British Columbia now has all three levels of court participating in the e-filing system. “Court of Appeal efiling expands access to the court for litigants outside B.C.’s major urban centres by allowing parties to file documents without attending at the court. When a document is e-filed, it also becomes instantaneously available to litigants and the public through the electronic registry, Court Services Online,” Chief Justice Lance Finch said.

Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Stampeders split a pair of home games on the weekend improving its Central Interior Hockey League record to two wins and one loss.

Sunday, Williams Lake rebounded against a young Prince Rupert Rampage squad, winning 7-1. The Rampage scored the first goal of the contest early in the first period but it was all Stampeders after that. Saturday, the Ice Demons didn’t take long to take the hometown fans out of the contest, scoring three unanswered power play goals on Williams Lake’s Justin Foote — two from Brandon Wakita and one from Ian Coleman — before Stampders’ forwards Nathan Zurak and Stu Sasges brought the contest back to within a goal at 3-2.

sports New aquafit instructor joins complex team Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer A new aquafit instructor has joined the team at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Alexandra Kelly, known as Aquafit Ali by her students, recently moved from Surrey to Williams Lake after being accepted into the Thompson Rivers University nursing program. In Surrey Kelly taught aquafit classes to groups of sometimes more than 100 people. She’s also been involved in competitive swimming and has taught swimming lessons. “I have been teach-

ing aquafit for three years now,” she said. “I kind of just fell into it because I just wanted to try something new. Many of the lifeguards who have been at the South Surrey Indoor Pool where I worked had also been aquafit instructors for years, and some of them just encouraged me into it.” Once she started teaching classes it was easy to fall in love with, she said. It’s also a form of exercise she thinks people should try. “Exercising in the pool improves your circulation, minimizes your impact, maximizes your resistance and you can still get a great cardio workout,” she

said. “Aquafit is amazing because it can cater to individuals of all different activity levels.” “I think the misconception that it’s easy either comes from people who have never given it a try, or from taking a class that did not cater to their activity level. “The pool setting in itself is a great place for a workout, in my opinion. You finish your workout and you can enjoy a sauna or hot tub session before you head home. It’s the perfect recipe for stress relief.” She said she tries to tailor her workouts to the participants that show up for a particular class.

lost a tough game to Edson 17-5 and got knocked out of the tournament,” said Rustlers player Todd Pritchard. The Robert Bateman Alumni went on to beat Edson in the final. The tournament wrapped up a busy season of rugby for the Williams Lake men’s side. In May the Rustlers travelled to Edmonton, finishing third in a 24-team seven-a-side tournament. They also travelled

to Simon Fraser University, Penticton and Kamloops for tournaments, played in Williams Lake over Stampede weekend, then went back to Penticton for the Saratoga Cup (finishing third in the province in the independent league for clubs with only one team). The Rustlers finished the season with 20 wins and 13 losses. “As a team we put on more than 7,800 kilometres in travel,” Pritchard said.

“If I know the majority of my participants have hip replacements or knee injuries I will try to do mostly deep water exercise,” she said. “If my participants are all able-bodied and want an intense workout with segments of jumps, then I will run a class primarily in the shallow end. “Even though I’ve only been in Williams Lake a few short weeks I have already had the pleasure of meeting a number of participants who, if I am doing shallow aquafit and they don’t feel up to it, will just follow my instructions in deeper water and listen to what their body is telling them.” Drop-in aquafit

Square dancing exercises the mind and body Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Just like country music, today’s square dancers are branching out — becoming cross-over artists in their own way. You will see dancers grooving to songs like Lady Gaga’s ‘Telephone’ and ‘Hey Soul Sister’ by the rock band Train, as well as to major hit songs from the 1920s on. “Square dance music has to have a solid beat - the 50s 60s 70s were great eras for danceable music but lots of modern music is also suitable,â€? says Nick Turner, caller for the Stampede Whirlaways -- Williams Lake Square Dance Club. Traditional crinolines and fancy skirts may come out at interclub jamborees in the spring but right alongside them you will see women dressed in modern broom or straight line skirts. And at the regular Thursday night club dances, the evenings can be downright casual, with women often choosing to dance in pants. The only real requirement for participation is to wear soft-soled shoes so as not to scuff up the floors. Nick and his wife Mary lead and teach square and round (choreographed ballroom) dancing for the Whirlaways and are inviting empty-nesters, parents, and children ages 10 and up to join them in a series of nine introductory sessions to modern square dancing that will start this Friday evening, Oct. 19 at the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Centre. No experience and no special clothing is required — just a smile and you can even bring along your two left feet, they say. Participants will have fun right away as they learn the basic steps in square dancing that, when put together by the caller, become the dance. “One of the joys of square dancing is that it challenges the mind as well as the body,â€? Nick says Mary Anne says the challenge is to listen for the call and translate the call to your feet. “When I first started square dancing I was nervous; now it’s just second nature,â€? Mary Anne says. The Whirlaways would like to see more people join their group. “It’s a great social activity for empty-nesters heading into retirement who have more time on their hands and want to add a new dimension to their exercise program,â€? Nick says, “and it is a great activity for parents to interact with their kids.â€? During the club’s regular dance nights, held on Thursday evenings from October through midApril, Nick calls the square dances and Mary Anne cues round dances.

Mary Anne Turner (centre) teaches Doug and Pam McIntosh of Williams Lake (left) and Helen and Henry Hall of Lac la Hache (right) some steps during the Mexican fiesta themed jamboree held this spring at Glendale Elementary School. Round dancing is an easy way for couples to learn different ballroom rhythms as there is no emphasis on the man to have to lead, Mary Anne says. Each partner learns his and her steps and all the couples do the same figures as they move counterclockwise around the hall. At the moment Mary Anne says the local club is concentrating on the two step and the waltz because that is what the members want to learn, but round dances are done to all sorts of rhythms such as the cha cha, rumba, jive or fox trot. In May and June club members travel to jamboree dance weekends around the province, and they host visitors for Williams Lake’s own spring jamboree. This is a special weekend because it has a theme such as Fiesta, Cajun or Sea Cruise, for example, and for 2013 the theme is Polynesian Paradise. â€œIt’s a very social activity and each square dance club is like a family,â€? Nick says. “When you square dance at jamborees in other communities it’s like an extended family.â€? On another note, the North West Pacific Teen Dance Festival has been holding teen dance festivals for 60 years, alternating between B.C. and Washington State and the Turners would like to see more young people from this area get involved in dance to enjoy those festivals. Nick says there is also a shortage of callers and cuers in this area and in the province generally so he

Just eight years after building the first phase of Glen Arbor apartments for low income seniors the Glen Arbor Cariboo Park Home Society is forging ahead with planning on phase 2 of the affordable housing project for seniors. Anyone interested in helping with this next phase of construction to attend the society’s annual meeting coming up on Oct. 29 starting at 1 p.m. at Glen Arbor located at 564 Oliver Street, society chair Maureen Tickner says. Tickner says the needs and demands study on social housing for Williams Lake and region was completed at the end of August and supports phase 2 giving the green light to begin developing the business plans and design for the new building. Tickner estimates the business plan will take about 10 months to complete at which time fundraising can begin. Glen Arbor’s existing facility includes 34 onebedroom independent living apartments for seniors on three levels, plus underground parking. The main floor in-

Stampede royalty keep busy representing the community Terris Billyboy Special to The Tribune With the summer going by so fast Williams Lake royalty has been very busy travelling to rodeos and pageants representing our city. I, Princess Terris Billyboy, and Queen Alexis Forseille did a day trip out to the Redstone rodeo on Aug. 19, which coincidentally happened to be my birthday. Redstone

has a great rodeo with some unique events such as a half-mile flat race and a mountain race along the main rodeo events with competitors from all over B.C. Throughout the rodeo we participated in grand entry, chasing cattle, selling 50/50 tickets and cheering on the cowboys and cowgirls competing in their events. Both Alexis and I really enjoyed our time

out at Redstone and I don’t think I could have asked for a better birthday. The following weekend we were off to the Smithers Fall Fair, Rodeo, and Bull-a-Rama from Aug. 23 to 25. The town of Smithers likes to kick things off with their parade Wednesday night. We attended grand entry for the Bull-aRama by horse drawn wagon along with the

bull riders. Friday and Saturday we took part in grand entry, selling 50/50 and programs and volunteering in the half time clown act. Smithers has so much to offer with their fall fair, carnival, 4-H, logger sports, tractor parade, horse showing, rodeo and so much more. As royalty we had a blast and hope to attend again. After traveling to many rodeos we then attended North Thompson Fall Fair and Rodeo Pageant. In Barriere we took part in a dinner and their coronation where they crowned the new NTFFR Queen and two Princesses. The following morning we went to breakfast with all the other

visiting royalty with a scavenger hunt put on by the local dollar store where we had to go shopping across the town of Barriere and buying the most things and various stores using only $1. That night we went to a barbecue and headed home afterwards. Representing Williams Lake and the Williams Lake Stampede Association as Williams Lake Stampede Princess has been an honour and I would like to thank all of our sponsors for making this possible for us. On the Sept. 14 to 16 weekend we will attend the British Columbia Rodeo Association finals in Quesnel to cheer on the cowboys and cowgirls competing who have qualified.

community Xat’sull Heritage Village hosts final cultural day Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Xat’sull Heritage Village celebrated its final cultural day of the year Saturday, wrapping up an awardwinning year of tours and educational workshops. Miriam Schilling, community economic

development co-ordinator for the Soda Creek Indian Band, said the cultural days, held once a month from July to October, are a great way for people to experience the village. “We started doing this last year and basically once a month we get together, we have lunch, we have a bit

of drumming and singing — anybody can join in — and people that are interested can do a guided tour of the village,� Schilling said. “We also do some crafts. People here today can make their own dream catcher.� Earlier this month the Xat’sull Heritage Village, located 20

minutes north of Williams Lake, was presented the Outside the Box Award by the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association — an award given for introducing an innovative new concept to the tourism industry within the past three years. Schilling added guided tours are a unique

way to learn about the village and culture. “We’ve got Ralph [Phillips] and Mike [Stinson] — they’re our main tour guides,� Schilling said. “And then this year we had four summer students. Roxanne [Pop], she’s only 14, and she would take people and do part of the tour. People, we

found, really enjoy getting that perspective from the youth. It’s great to learn and listen to the elders but we’ve had many comments about how they’ve been a great crew.� She said tours take around two hours, but can sometimes go longer.

“Every tour is different,� she said. “It depends on where people are from, what questions they have and the age group. We’ll go to the fishing spot, the sweat house, the pit houses — there’s so much history to cover. “It’s really a customized tour for the guests who are here.�

Mayor Kerry Cook, Minister Naomi Yamamoto and Chamber pres. Jason Ryll.

Small business the heart and soul, minister says Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Ninety-eight per cent of all businesses in B.C. are small businesses, Minister of State for Small Business Naomi Yamamoto said. Speaking to a group of Williams Lake & District Chamber of Commerce members at a meeting in Williams Lake Oct. 9, the minister defined small business as having 50 employees or less, but said the overwhelming majority in B.C. have five employees or less. “The small business community in B.C. ac-

counts for more than one million jobs and about a third of B.C.’s Growth Domestic Product. For me, more importantly, when the global economic crisis hit in the latter part of 2008, small businesses only reduced the level of their employees by half a per cent.” Big business, on the other hand, reduced its employees by eight per cent, Yamamoto added. “It tells me that in smaller towns and rural areas small business is the heart and soul of the community and they’ll do anything to keep their employees work-

ing. It’s that attitude and spirit that makes small business so important.” B.C. leads the country in small business start-ups and the number of small businesses per capita. Part of Yamamoto’s portfolio is deregulation, something she prefers to call “regulatory reform”. Since 2001, the number of regulatory requirements have been reduced by 42 per cent or 150,000 regulations now off the books, she said. “The premier has asked me to look at what else we can do,

so I am trying to instill in my colleagues and the bureaucrats that we need to continually look at regulations and the regulatory burdens we have for small businesses in particular.” Small business owners put their whole life into their businesses, juggling family life and volunteer duties, she said. “I think government should be able to help small business save time. Time is something that is so valuable now. I want people to let me know what government can do to help small businesses survive and

grow.” Crediting the province’s lowest income tax as way that helps business, she suggested it is also up to municipal governments to consider lowering property taxes. At the Union of BC Municipalities conference in Victoria in September, Yamamoto participated in presenting awards to six B.C. communities that were recognized for being the most business friendly municipality in their region. The winners were Smithers, Nelson, Prince George, District of North Vancouver,

Nanaimo and Kamloops, a two-time winner. “I would challenge the Chamber to see if your municipality is worthy of being nominated. There’s criteria the municipality needs to demonstrate,” Yamamoto said, adding it would be great to see Williams Lake win. Mayor Kerry Cook encouraged members of the chamber to work with the city on ideas that would make the city more business friendly. The chamber’s executive director Claudia Blair agreed, adding forming solid partner-

ships are key. “We need to find the key to make the start, sincerely, honestly and move forward, because if we’re not, we’re just going backwards,” Blair said. Cook also told Yamamoto that attraction and retention are big gaps recognized by the city. “I am wondering if there’s funding for a pilot project that would help that along,” she said. “It’s difficult for businesses outside the Lower Mainland to access capital funding,” Chamber past president Walt Cobb added.
