FLU SHOT CLINIC HELD AT CARIBOO BETHEL KEPT BUSY Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

The Interior Health Flu Shot Clinic held at Cariboo Bethel Church Tuesday and Wednesday saw a steady stream of people accessing the service. Here Williams Lake resident Carol Hutchinson receives her flu shot from I.H. nurse Kendra Taylor. Public Health nurse Lyn Temple says flu shots will also be available at pharmacies and doctor’s offices throughout the city.

Citizens in Williams Lake are concerned about traffic safety in residential areas. In two separate petitions delivered to the city, residents from Foster Way and residents from Third Avenue North near Marie Sharpe Elementary School, voiced safety concerns to city council Tuesday. Concerns were about speeds in excess of 70 kilometres an hour, and the observation that drivers are often talking or texting on their cell phones. Council has referred the petitions to city staff for a report, and to the safer communities coordinator in hopes the Speed Watch program might conduct some traffic monitoring at those sites in the near future.

RCMP inspector reports on W.L. crime Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer With 13 of 14 known offenders out of jail last summer, Williams Lake RCMP saw an increase in the number of car thefts, and break-ins of businesses and homes. “Things had been going well, but the summer was definitely a blip,” Inspector Warren Brown told city council Tuesday. Crime rates still remain below the higher rates seen in 2008, however, Brown confirmed it has been a bit discouraging recently. Around 25 people were responsible for 95 per cent of property crimes. Most offenders are transient and do not live in one location, making it difficult for the RCMP to establish a starting point for investigation. Another challenge has been the recent changing of the guard at the local detachment. “We’ve had a number of senior officers leave and since January had eight new younger

cadets arrive to work here. You can say it’s a rebuilding year for us,” Brown said. Acts of mischief, such as graffiti and rocks being through windows are on the increase, as well as the number of young people engaging in violence, using machetes and bear spray as weapons. “The hard thing is that they choose to engage in this behaviour and that’s the challenge we face,” Brown said of the violence. Improved communication in and around domestic violence is still a priority and the Williams Lake RCMP has identified a successful program from the North Okanagan it plans to glean from. Relationships with First Nations communities are going well, Brown said. “We’ve got good policing in those communities and I cannot underscore the strong leadership in those communities and the fact we’re constantly being invited to participate in community events.”

Boitanio Park continues to be a concern for the community. A stakeholders meeting is planned for Nov. 1 to share information from an analysis that was completed by crime reduction personnel from Vancouver. The intent of the meeting,

which is closed to the public, is to develop solutions that will deter behaviour that Brown said “can no longer be tolerated.” On the upside, there has been a steady decline in false alarm calls, a statistic Brown attributed to work the city has done.

Agreement in principle Three more tentative agreements have been reached under the Cooperative Gains Mandate with CUPE locals at Thompson Rivers University and CUPE Local 4879, the University of British Columbia and CUPE Local 116, and between the University of Northern BC and CUPE Local 3799, announced Minister of Advanced Education, Innovation and Technology John Yap, Wednesday. Each tentative agreement covers four years: two years under the 2010 Net Zero Mandate and two years modest wage increases funded from savings found within

existing budgets, as required under the 2012 Cooperative Gains Mandate. CUPE Local 4879 represents about 15 full-time and 15 auxiliary employees at TRU in Williams Lake, working such positions as system analysts, accountants, cashiers, bookstore clerks and buyers, registration and admissions clerks, maintenance and utility staff, library technicians, ancillary staff and open learning support staff. In a press release, the government said No further details on the agreements will be available until ratification is complete.

Road safety advice; shift to winter mode Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer As winter begins to show its face in the region, Interior Roads is gearing up for its winter preparedness program. Manager Daniel Hutchins told city council Tuesday the company is part of the provincial campaign, “Shift into Winter,” that provides bulletins and updates on driving through a website. “The hope is to get drivers into the winter driving habits before we have a major storm. Nobody’s prepared for the first one,” Hutchins said. By Oct. 26, the company will fully implement its winter shift, meaning 24-hour coverage for the Williams Lake area, spanning to Horsefly, Deep Creek, Buffalo Creek and west to the Sheep Creek Bridge. Interior Roads accesses three main aggregate stock piles, Hutchins said. “Not much has changed since last season. Our road maintenance requests remain mostly the same. Our school bus routes are the same so we should see the same general ap-

proach that we had last year,” Hutchins added. The company continues to use the provincial road information website, DriveBC, for updates. City councillor Surinderpal Rathor asked Hutchins if the company is still looking for mechanics, and heard across the area, the company has the same amount of mechanics, however, has moved some, including one to its Bella Coola depot, where they didn’t have one before. “We are still looking for additional mechanics and hired a new one today. Unfortunately it’s such with the industry right now that we have to go over our normal capacity just in case our mechanics need any time off,” Hutchins said, adding it’s difficult to compete with wages being offered in the oil fields or mining industry with the “economy as it is right now.” In the past, Interior Roads has gone above its regular capacity so when one or two mechanics leave in a season, the company can keep up with demand. “The trucks take quite a beating doing winter

operations. Normally in the Williams Lake area we have around four full time mechanics, right now we have three, earlier this year we had five coming out of winter. But in the event we cannot keep up, we also have one of our sister companies that has four mechanics on standby seven days a week if we need them,” Hutchins said. Coun. Sue Zacharias said it’s a common refrain, that people are having trouble keeping on staff because of competition from the mines. At this time there are no agreements with Interior Roads and the city, although Interior Roads is responsible for any highway arteries that run through the city. “We maintain those on behalf of the province, and if we travel along other roads to access those arteries, and they are slippery, our operators have instructions to sand those. In the past we had written agreements with the city, but over time they stopped being updated,” Hutchins said. Coun. Ivan Bonnnell suggested maybe it was time to reopen those agreements.

Opposition critic listens to concerns on health issues in lakecity Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer If his party forms government after May’s election, NDP health critic Mike Farnworth wants to be prepared. If the NDP is not successful, then he wants to be informed so he can ask the right questions, Farnworth said while in Williams Lake Monday. Farnworth toured Cariboo Memorial Hospital with Dr. Glenn Fedor and Deb Runge, acute care health services administrator, and later met with Rosanna McGregor, executive director of Cariboo Friendship Society and a board member for Interior Health. “I’ve heard a number of issues. Finding out what’s working and what could be better. I want to leave here with a better understanding of what’s going on in Williams Lake so that when I go back and talk with Adrian Dix and my colleagues, I’m able to say where our priorities should be focused on,” he told media, adding the top concerns raised were around drug and alcohol treatment, mental health, seniors care, recruitment of medical staff, and the hospital’s master plan. One of the key challenges B.C. faces in its health system is the fact that medical staff are aging, he said. “We’ve got to ensure we’re training enough

people so communities like Williams Lake and rural B.C. in general have people who are from here and are going to practice here. Rural health care has to be a bigger priority than it’s been in the past.” A public policy change has to transpire to put more focus on training and skills development of British Columbians, he suggested. “Whether it’s radiology technicians, nurses, physicians, or better use of nurse practitioners, all those things feed into the health care system as a whole. We’ve got to find ways of doing things better than we are and ensure we’re training people to fill positions in B.C. Lots of positions are going unfilled.” The Cariboo Memorial Hospital master plan is among plans around the province and if government knows what the state of the plans are and what the demands are, then government is better equipped to make decisions, Farnworth commented. Williams Lake is not alone when it comes to lacking drug and alcohol treatment programs. It’s all over B.C., he said. “If one of the things we want to do in health care is to recognize that the acute care system is extremely important, but also that it’s expensive, many health care issues could be treated as chron-

ic disease management or could be captured under prevention or primary care.” Alcohol and drug treatment should be done at that level and not in the acute care system of hospitals. The treatment needs to be community based, and accessible, and more than what exists right now. “The result is if you have resources going to those areas, you are going to see the benefit on the acute side.” Glad that Deni House was re-opened in 2012, Farnworth said its location and proximity to the hospital makes good sense. “There’s a good health care system here and that to me is something that’s important. We have a good health care system in this province, but there are a lot of changes coming in funding, with cutbacks from Ottawa due to the new health transfer accord. The days of the six per cent annual increase in health care funds from Ottawa will end in 2014, placing pressure on the province.” The new agreements will be tied to Gross Domestic Product growth and the result will be that the provinces will see increases of only two, three or four per cent. “That’s a significant reduction to the provinces in terms of funding available for health care and

It’s going to be a big issue in the future, so planning and making sure that provinces stand up to the federal government on how they are treated when it comes to health care discussions is crucial. “We can’t just roll over and say ‘yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir,’ which is what happened with this health agreement.” The cut will cost roughly around $500 million in the first year, he estimated, adding that’s not an insignificant amount.

With an annual health budget of $17 million, the province is spending “a lot of money” Farnworth said. “We have to make sure we’re spending it as efficiently as we can. When we know there are key pressure points, let’s start identifying them early on and put strategies in place to work with them. Whether that’s training or working with other provinces to leverage our ability to buy together to get a lower price for equipment.” There’s a myth out there that B.C. is the only

province with an growing population of seniors, he said. “In some cases it’s a smaller percentage, but the absolute numbers are larger. Let’s face it, Ontario has 12 million people. It can be different parts of provinces too. Some cities become retirement cities. It varies within provinces, and it varies from province to province, but it’s not unique to B.C. All provinces are dealing with an aging population.” It’s important then to ensure services are in place so seniors can stay in their homes as long as

possible, and not occupying acute beds. That there are cheaper and friendlier options for seniors, whether that is home support, home care, assisted living, or supported care. “There’s a whole spectrum that comes to the community based, primary care, and the preventative, where we’re focused on areas that have an impact on being able to free up beds and free up the acute care system. It’s one of the key challenges we face.” Farnworth also visited 100 Mile House while in the Cariboo.

Prescribed burns assist in the restoration of the ecosystems Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Prescribed burns are planned at Ward Creek, Becher’s Prairie, and the Farwell Canyon area west of Williams Lake between now and Nov. 16 weather conditions permitting. Hugh Flinton, ecosystem restoration manager with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural

Resource Operations, Cariboo Region, said the burns are planned for ecosystem restoration purposes. Individual burns will be between 10 and 600 hectares in size. The largest burn, is in the Ward Creek area north of Gang Ranch, Flinton told the Tribune Friday. “It’s basically a grasslands wildlife burn to support California bighorn sheep habitat. We

haven’t done burns there for over 25 years,” Flinton explained, adding the burn will decrease sagebrush and Douglas-fir encroachment. Sagebrush is fire-origin and fire-controlled, and over time as forest fires are fought and extinguished, it increases. “It can choke out some of the native grasses and fire rejuvenates that ecosystem and puts it back

the way it should be when fire’s on the landscape,” Flinton said. Flinton credited Gang Ranch manager Larry Ramstad’s co-operation with the burning program. “Part of the burn on Ward Creek goes across Gang Ranch deeded property. Without his cooperation that burn would never have been as successful as it was,” he said.

Sharon MacDonald at the Cariboo Fire Centre said Friday a crew of the centre’s firefighters were on site at the Gang Ranch. “The burn has been very successful. We were able to cover about 1,200 hectares,” she said. The work in the Becher’s Prairie was first initiated in the spring, however, when it became too dry to complete, the work was put on hold.

Burns in the Farwell Canyon area will only resume if the weather turns dry again, Flinton said. “Our work there is concentrated up above the Chilcotin River on the south side.” The fires are part of an ongoing ecosystem restoration program administered by the provincial government in consultation with First Nations, local ranchers, the B.C.

Wildlife Federation and the Cariboo-Chilcotin Conservation Society. MacDonald confirmed that most forest fires that had been of concern to the fire centre have now been called out. As of Friday there was still a small forest fire, in the patrol stage, in the Canim Lake area that is located in a difficult blow down area, Macdonald added.

Credit Union celebrates 60 years in lakecity Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake and District Credit Union is celebrating 60 years in the community. With cake, served by former board member Jim Fraser, a barbecue, and an historical display, staff and board members greeted customers and the public to its Third Avenue North location on Oct. 18 to mark the milestone. First incorporated on Sept. 3, 1952, when one of its founding members J. Earl Brown was acting secretary and later

treasurer, the credit union spent its first 15 years operating out of various venues. During those years it called places such as Cariboo Home Furnishings and Lakeside Building Supplies Ltd. home. In June 1967, Lido E. Doratti was appointed the first full-time manager of the credit union and seven months later, the credit union moved to its first permanent location on First Avenue. When Peter Fradette arrived in 1971, as the new general manager, interest rates had reached

Since Sept. 24, 1976, the credit union has been

located where it stands today. In 1996, under the direction of general manager Bill Collins, the building underwent extensive renovations.

The new chief executive officer, Jim Zimmerman, has been on the job since Aug. 1. He moved here from Saskatchewan with his family.

City clarifies position on fringe fire protection Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer City council, Tuesday, approved a statement outlining its position on fringe fire protection agreements. Five main points are contained in the city’s statement. First, that the city supports a new amalgamated fire protection agreement that will replace the provincial agreement and Phase One and Phase Two agreements with the Cariboo Regional District. Secondly, that the new fire agreement be based on the existing boundaries identified in the original agreements between the province and the regional district. If as a result of the CRD fire protection referendum on Nov. 24 there are any changes to these boundaries, that information will need to be brought back for council’s consideration. Thirdly, that the city and the CRD work together to produce joint press releases to alleviate

confusion prior to the November referendum. Fourthly, that the new fire protection agreement be made on a five-year term, with an option to renew for a further fiveyear term. Intense debate occurred around the fifth and final point — that the cost of providing the service be based on total net taxable assessed values for all property classes of land and improvements in the City of Williams Lake and the rural fringe areas. Coun. Ivan Bonnell argued the fire protection agreements were changed in 1993 to reflect total residential assessment because the city at that time had invested in its water system, particularly its capacity for water storage and access to hydrants, benefitin, rural fringe areas. “That Cataline needs to be reflected Marie Sharpein the cost,” Bonnell said. Mountview Bonnell, along with Alexis Creek councillors Surinderpal Rathor and Danica 150 Mile House Hughes,Big opposed Lakethe fifth point, and voted against

approving the city’s statement. The CRD referendum will ask affected residents throughout the entire fringe area that currently receive services from the Williams Lake Volun-

teer Fire Department if they wish to continue to receive those fire protection services, for approximately $129/$100,000 of estimated 2013 residential assessment. If the vote is successful, resi-

dents will continue to receive service by the Williams Lake Volunteer Fire Department. If the vote is unsuccessful, effective Jan. 1, 2013, residents will no longer have fire protection services.

PULL OVER FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES Recent incidents involving emergency vehicles have prompted the Williams Lake Fire Department to remind residents to pull over when an emergency vehicle is approaching with lights and siren on. The British Columbia Motor Vehicle Act, Section 177, states: “On the immediate approach of an emergency vehicle giving an audible signal by bell, siren or exhaust whistle, and showing a visible flashing red light, except when otherwise directed by a peace officer, a driver must yield the right of way, and immediately drive to a position parallel to and as close as possible to the nearest edge or curb of the roadway, clear of an intersection, and stop and remain in that position until the emergency vehicle has passed.” Here’s how to help: • Signal, pull over to the nearest edge of the road on the approach of an emergency vehicle and stop • If at an intersection, move out of the intersection if it is safe to do so, and then stop at the edge of the road until the emergency vehicle has passed • Check for additional emergency vehicles before pulling back out onto the roadway • Use your rearview mirror(s) frequently to monitor for emergency vehicles approaching from the rear • You may see an emergency vehicle before you hear it. Be attentive to the flashing lights. It will give you more time to select a safe place to pull over

NO GLASS IN RECYCLING CARTS PLEASE DO NOT put glass in the recycling cart. Glass in the recycling cart could end up broken. Broken glass spoils the recyclables and puts the workers who do the sorting at a great risk of injury. Instead of putting glass in the curb side recycling cart, it can be taken to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station or Canadian Tire.

Here are some easy do’s and don’ts that can assist everyone in making the collection of recyclables and solid waste easier for you, as well as the City of Williams Lake’s contractor.

DOs

Have the garbage/recycling cart at the curb before 7:00 am. Take the garbage/recycling cart off the curb the same day as it is collected. Put shredded paper in a bag. Loose paper may escape when tipping the cart. Record the serial number on the side of your cart to identify your cart from your neighbours. Ensure the lid of the cart is fully closed. Partially opened lids will not be picked up. Clean all recyclables before putting them in the recycling container.

DON’Ts

Don’t put your carts on the street the night before your collection day. The cart’s subject to vandalism. Don’t put the garbage/recycling carts any closer together than 1 meter. Don’t leave your cart on the curb. This interferes with snow removal or street cleaning. Don’t put your cart any closer than 2 meters from any obstruction such as vehicles or landscaping. Don’t take the carts when you move. The carts belong to that address, NOT TO YOU.

Avoid putting organic material, such as grass clippings, branches, or garden waste, in the solid waste cart. These items only add unnecessary weight to the solid waste stream and increase the costs for every resident in Williams Lake. This material can be brought to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station on Frizzi Road and dropped off free of charge. The only items that are permitted go into the curb side recycling cart are: 1. Paper products – office paper, magazines, newspapers. 2. Cardboard – corrugated cardboard and regular cardboard such as a cereal box. 3. Plastics – must have the recycling symbol on it and the number inside the symbol must be 1 through 7. No Styrofoam allowed. 4. Metal food cans – food or beverage containers. Note: all above mentioned products must be clean. Other recyclable material, such as glass, lead acid batteries, or propane bottles that cannot be put in the curb side recycling cart can be dropped off at the Central Cariboo Transfer Station. Even more recyclable items can be brought to several locations in Williams Lake that participate in the product stewardship program. A list of these companies can be found at the Encorp website (http://www.encorp.ca/cfm/), the Encorp toll free number 1-800-330-9767, or by calling the BC Recycling Hotline at 1-800-667-4321.

Investment a good sign

fantastic announcement last week at West Fraser. The company will rebuild its planer mill, which is an investment of tens of millions of dollars, and it represents confidence and re-investment in our community. I’ve met with new sawmill manager Matt Ketcham, who is enthusiastic about his recent move to Williams Lake and contributing to the community. Welcome Matt! We’ve From the s e e n Mayor’s plenty Chair of reKerry Cook investm e n t this year, with Cariboo GM and Gustafson’s both renovating, Dr. Bos’s new office on Third Avenue, and others. It’s a sure sign that people believe in Williams Lake and believe in its future. Council does too, and it’s why we try to take the long-term strategic view when it comes to our budgets and plans. Also last week, the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition, which I chair, met with Minister of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson. The meeting came about from a request at UBCM, and we were pleased Minister Thomson took us up on our invitation to join us in Williams Lake. As a forest dependant community, it is key that we continue to work together to ensure we have these jobs in the future. Councillor Hughes and I enjoyed serving our seniors at their turkey dinner fundraiser Sunday. It was great meeting and chatting with so many people. Thanks to all the volunteers. Hope to do it again soon! My husband I took in the Stampeders game Saturday, and watched our team win over Quesnel. It was a great turnout and a great game. I’m sure I’ll be seeing a lot of you at the rink this season! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

It’s all up to us The suspected suicide of bullying victim Amanda Todd has captured the hearts and minds of most. But it’s not enough to show your support of anti-bullying laws, or disgust for her tormentors. It’s not enough to post online about how sick we are of this type of behaviour, how beautiful and talented the young girl was and how something needs to be done. Don’t get me wrong, showing support via cyber space is good for discussion purposes, but we need to do more than just talk. Or, even more lame, studying the thing to death. The NDP is calling for a report, designed to create a national anti-bullying strategy, the Liberals have a private member bill that looks to add cyber bullying to the Criminal Code. Kids don’t need a panel to come up with a bulleted study on how to end bullying. Todd was not going to be saved by the inclusion of cyber bullying in the Criminal Code. It’s not going to work.

What we need is good people – pretty darn simple. And it starts with us. We need to raise our little ones with dignity, strength, a strong sense of right and wrong, the ability to stand up, rise above and feel good about it. See something wrong? Do something about it. It’s not just teenagers who can be cruel – cruel teenagers can turn into cruel adults. See someone spouting off at the arena? Tell them no one thinks it’s funny. Witness someone pointing out another’s less-thanstellar outfit? Ensure they know it’s not OK. And be sure your child sees that. Bullies feed off fear, power and other bullies. So don’t feed them. Instead choose to nourish our children with respect for one another, with love, compassion and acceptance. Show them how to treat others. No panel, study or politician is ever going to be able to do that.

his week more than 3,000 people gathered on the lawns of the BC Legislature to protest both the Enbridge and the Kinder Morgan pipelines. There was also a strong anti-oil sands flavour to the crowd, a crowd made up of First Nations, environmental and labour organizations, and concerned citizens, young and old. Protestors are also gathering at MLA offices across the province this week. A number of NDP MLAs were present at the protest. No Liberal MLAs showed up, despite the public beating the MLA Liberal governMusings ment is Bob Simpson now giving Enbridge, Alberta, and the federal government over the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. Pipeline politics are all the rage these days. The proposed Keystone XL pipeline has made more than a cameo appearance in the U.S. presidential election, and the Northern Gateway pipeline has become a flashpoint for both the BC NDP and the BC Liberals. What’s missing in all of the political posturing around pipelines on both sides of the border is any political leadership toward a national energy policy or a framework to address energy security. We need to wean ourselves off fossil fuels so that pipelines, with all of their environmental and health and safety risks, would eventually be rendered redundant. In my estimation, Enbridge should never have been allowed to enter the National Energy Board process. The federal and the BC governments should have told Enbridge that the legal framework wasn’t there to support such a project because the Crown hasn’t fulfilled its obligation to address First Nations’ rights and title issues. They should have also been informed that there was no social license for their pipeline proposal, or for tankers in the Douglas Channel. This kind of leadership would have saved the company, and British Columbians, from the acrimony, protests, and crass politics that now surround this doomed project. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

MORE VIEWPOINTS Minister’s praise questioned Question of the week Editor:

I read with interest Monica Lamb-Yorski’s Oct. 23 article regarding Seniors’ Minister, Ralph Sultan, and the question posed by George Atamanenko about the lack of modern equipment at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital. The Minister lauded MLA Barnett as being

feisty, demanding, badgering and an advocate for getting the best for Williams Lake. Obviously her demands and advo cacy has fallen on deaf Liberal ears. If we haven’t yet received the upgrades to much needed equipment after years in government, nor the master plan implemented,

nor all the space used, then what has she accomplished? If the Liberals are not listening to their own, then it’s time for them to collect their gold-plated pensions and leave the governing to someone who will listen and respond. Maureen Foss Lac La Hache

NDP critic responds on meat industry problems Editor: The recent letter (Changes to meat inspection needed, Oct. 15, 2012) from Ms. Wood praising Donna Barnett for her advocacy on improvements to the meat regulation left out an important point: small B.C. meat producers wouldn’t be in the position they are today if Barnett and her Liberal government hadn’t botched the regulation to begin with. Now, eight years after the Liberals banned farm gate meat sales, which led to many producers having to cease operations in the Cariboo Chilcotin and other parts of B.C., suddenly the latest agriculture minister says he wants to find a way to fix things. Funny that this interest has only

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 27 (CARIBOO-CHILCOTIN) Have your say... The Board of Education requests your input On 25 September, at its public meeting, the Board unveiled its Initial Options Report for Public Consultation (available online www.sd27.bc.ca).

Parents and community members gathered at Kwaleen Elementary School Oct. 18 to voice their opposition to the proposal to close the school next September.

Opposition to Kwaleen closure rises Think tank at Columneetza tonight Approximately 40 concerned parents and residents gathered at Kwaleen Elementary School on Thursday, Oct. 18 to discuss School District 27’s proposal to close the traditional school, according to a press release from the Russet Bluff Community Association and Kwaleen Parent Advisory Council. The presentation was led by PAC council president Katie Dyck and reviewed some of the information contained in the district’s Initial Options Report, PAC secretary Kim Dressler says in the release. The presentation also addressed some of the issues that have arisen in recent dialogue with the school board, some content of which is included on the district website under Frequently Asked Questions on the Initial Options Report. Discussion on the report was animated and uniformly critical of the proposal to close Kwaleen elementary, the report states. “I don’t think there’s any element of the Initial Options Report that I can support or betters the interests of my children, or any children in the district,” said Stacey Pitsos, whose sons attend Kindergarten and Grade 1 at Kwaleen. “I think the board has to completely rethink the report and come up with op-

tions that reflect the current needs of our children and our community. We won’t stand by and watch them close our school.” The press release says that a petition will soon be circulated to community members allowing them to express their written opposition to the proposals outlined in the Initial Options Report. The report also includes proposals in the Williams Lake area for closing Glendale and Wildwood elementary schools and moving Grade 7 students into Columneetza and Williams Lake secondary schools which would become one grades 7 to 12 high school operated on two campuses. The public is invited to provide more input on the Initial Options Report tonight, Oct. 25 during an “Out of the Box” think tank with school trustees and staff to be held at the Columneetza Secondary gymnasium starting at 6:30 p.m. A public meeting with school district trustees and staff will also be held at the Kwaleen gymnasium on Tuesday, Nov. 20 starting at 6:30 p.m. Written presentations on the Initial Options Report will be accepted by the board at any time throughout the 90-day consultation process, as well as feedback through e-mail using the ThoughtStream process.

Williams Lake mountain biker James Doerfling rides in the Gobi Desert during the filming of Where the Trail Ends — a film showcasing the top freeride mountain bikers in the world in exotic locations.

Doerfling lands best finish at Rampage Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer It’s been a busy past couple of months for Williams Lake big mountain freeride specialist James Doerfling. The 26-year-old rider recently returned from a successful outing at the 2012 Red Bull Rampage near Virgin, Utah, and was featured as part of Nelson-based Freeride Entertainment’s Where the Trail Ends — a film showcasing the top freeride mountain bikers as they travel the world seeking untouched terrain. The film, also produced by Red Bull Media House, had its world premiere Sept. 24 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Palms Casino Resort. Doerfling, who attended the screening, is one of five main riders featured in the film. “The whole movie is based on big mountain riding, not just your regular mountain bike riding,” Doerfling said. “That’s what I do and that’s what I try to focus on. They kind of hand-picked the riders that got to be in the film and luckily enough I was one of them. “I didn’t get to go on every trip but I got to go to China twice and then film on the Fraser River trip

here in town.” Doerfling said his trips to ride China’s Flaming Mountains in the Gobi Desert for the film were unreal. “I had never been that far away from home, ever,” he said. “The first trip was in 2010, then the second trip to China was last spring. It was definitely a culture shock seeing how they live over there. We spent two and a half weeks there just filming and riding.” The other part of the film took place right in Doerfling’s back yard. Douglas Green, who owns Cariboo Chilcotin Jetboat Adventures, was hired by the company last fall to shuttle the riders down the Fraser River to their destination. “It was cool to have him [Green] as part of the one trip because he’s a local guy,” Doerfling said. “It was awesome because it was the kind of terrain I grew up riding. We took Doug and we went to Sheep Creek there where he usually launches his boat then we went down river to the confluence where the Chilco River meets the Fraser River.” The filming crew and riders camped on the Fraser River for 10 days using two helicopters and Green’s jetboat to shuttle them

around. “It was pretty efficient,” Doerfling said. “Kind of like heli-skiing with bikes.” He added it’s probably the coolest mountain bike film he’s ever seen. “It’s real mountain biking,” he said. “You’re actually out in the mountains finding new terrain and building your own stuff. You might be the first person riding that line and the last person.” Even more recently, from Oct. 5-7, Doerfling was invited to the 2012 Red Bull Rampage in Utah — his third trip to the event. “Every other year I’ve kind of had bad luck with my bike breaking or crashing,” he said. “This is the first year I’ve done well so I’m pretty happy with the outcome.” Doerfling finished the event in sixth place out of 30 riders — his best result at the competition. “It’s the only contest I do just because it’s big mountain riding,” he said. “I get pretty pumped up to ride it because that’s what I’m good at.” In Friday’s qualifying round Doerfling finished second overall advancing him to finals on the weekend. “Twelve got picked to go to the super finals on Sunday, and then

the top 12 get pre-qualified for next year’s event so next year I don’t have to qualify,” he said. The event was live-streamed online at www.redbullrampage.com. Videos of Doerfling’s rides are still viewable on the site. Back home in Williams Lake, Doerfling said it’s awesome so much effort is being put into promoting the sport locally. “I was riding this past weekend with a big crew that came up from Squamish and they were just blown away with the scenery up here,” he said. “It’s crazy how much is getting put into building new trails and how many people ride in general.” He added a big thanks is in order to Mark Savard at Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed and to the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium for supporting him over the years. “I started out in elementary school as kind of one of those little punks that hung around Red Shred’s,” he said. “Then Shreddie [Savard] gave me a job down there. I just grew up around there sweeping floors and then eventually wrenching on bikes. I kind of made my way into the industry through the shop. “He [Savard] was a big help and gave me a lot of good advice.”

New fitness studio opens in Williams Lake Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake trainer Kim Colgate wants people to get healthy and to get fit. The British Columbia Recreation and Parks Association-registered fitness professional recently opened a new personal training studio, Reform Fitness, in Williams Lake. “I don’t want training to be about coming in and losing weight,” Colgate said. “That’s not what I’m about. I’m about getting in there and going and getting fit. So it doesn’t matter what shape you are, what size you are, how tall, thin, whatever … injury, noninjury — the bottom line is you need to get fit, you need to get moving. “Whether that’s with me or somebody else or a gym it doesn’t matter to me, as long as you’re moving.” The unique thing about Reform Fitness, Colgate said, is it’s based out of her home which

spend more time with her clients. “Gyms can be intimidating, but if you can go in there and already have a plan in place then it’s not so bad,” she said. “More or less lots of people want to come to a studio for training for their own goals.” She added studio training can be beneficial to anyone. “It can work for anybody,” she said. “It could

Local blasts off to high school cross-country provincials Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer If it hadn’t been for the advice of one of her high school teachers 15-year-old Danika Robson might not be competing next week at the provincial high school cross-country races. Danika, a Grade 10 student at Williams Lake Secondary School, will represent Williams Lake and her school Nov. 3 in Prince George against some of the best high school runners in the province. She decided to try the sport last year on the advice of her physical education teacher, Leanne Korving. Danika’s mom, Darla, said they then spent the latter part of the cross-country running season driving around the province attending races. “[Korving] noticed that Danika was always ahead in her fitness runs and told her she should try crosscountry running,” Darla said. “We ended up running around trying to catch up on all the races because she said to me: ‘Mom, I’d like to go to provincials’ and

she did.” This season, which began at the beginning of October, Danika’s times and standing have improved provincially. She’s attended races in Prince George, Quesnel, Vanderhoof and, most recently, the cross-country high school zone championships at Moore’s Meadow in Prince George, hosted near D.P. Todd Secondary School. At each of the races Danika placed first for junior girls and second overall. Danika’s time at zones on the 4.3-kilometre course was 18 minutes and 38 seconds, a mere 20 seconds slower than the overall winner, Prince George’s Emma Balasz, a Grade 12 student at Kelly Road Secondary School. Danika said the course they will run at the provincial championships is the same course they ran at zone championships. “There are a couple of hills that are pretty hard but otherwise it’s a good course,” Danika said, and noted she’s comfortable running there. She added she’s set a

goal for herself to finish in the top 15 at provincials. “The girl ahead of her [at zones] will probably finish in the top 10 at provincials and it’s sort of Danika’s goal to keep her eye on her and stick with her,” Darla said. To prepare for the cross-country high school running season Danika swims with the Williams Lake Blue Fins and runs on her own time. “[I train through] mostly swimming and the occasional run around the track or trail somewhere, and hills sometimes,” Danika said. She added she prefers cross-country running over running on a track. “I’m better at the long distance running rather the sprints around a track. To me it’s more fun.” As for Danika’s teacher, Mrs. Korving, Darla said she’s happy her daughter received such good advice. “We appreciated Mrs. Korving’s eye because she saw a gift that was untouched yet,” Darla said. “Since then she’s had a lot of success.”

Beautiful doll house raffled for cancer treatment Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Little Brinley Pawluk was diagnosed with leukemia when she was just four years old. She was tired and had flu like symptoms that didn’t seem to go away. The symptoms turned out to be leukemia. The initial treatments included intensive chemotherapy, bone marrow aspirations, spinal taps and blood transfusions at the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton. In September of 2011 her parents, Morgan and Blake Pawluk, formerly of Williams Lake, (then living in Edmonton), decided to move to Phoenix, Arizona where Blake was offered a job with his company, Honeywell International. In September 2011, Brinley started a long-term, low-dose chemotherapy treatment program at the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Now six years old, Brinley is in the second year of the initial twoand-a-half-year maintenance program which includes daily chemotherapy treatments, monthly spinal tap and bone marrow aspirations every two months. After these treatments there is a five-year follow up monitoring/ treatment program. The family’s medical plan covers 80 per cent of Brinley’s treatments but they have been struggling to cover the remaining treatment and medication costs. In efforts to help with these costs, Brinley’s grandparents Ron and Angie Grisdale, here in Williams Lake, have set up a trust fund for Brinley, sold orange leukemia bracelets with Brinley’s name on them, and held a garage sale. Now they are in the process of parting with a treasured doll house which has been part of the family since Brinley’s mother was a young girl. Ron and Angie made the doll house with Brinley’s mother, Morgan, when Morgan was seven years old. Morgan played with the house for a few years, then it became a playhouse for Angie’s home daycare for many years. They had hoped to give the doll house to Brinley, who has had some fun playing with it already, but given the expense of shipping it to Phoenix, the family decided to raffle the doll house to help with Brinley’s care. From the outside the house is as tall as Brinley is, about four feet high and four feet wide. It is set on casters so that it is easily moveable. The doll house opens up on hinges to reveal an eight-foot long, by four-foot high, fully furnished 14room, three-story home. The house has five bedrooms, an

All of the rooms are tall enough for Barbie and Ken dolls to stand up in. The rooms are lovingly finished with wallpaper, carpets, hardwood flooring, and linoleum where appropriate. Family and friends furnished the house with gifts of original Barbie furniture including tables, chairs, washer and dryer, light up beds, couches, little piano, a little Jeep, and more. There is bedding doll clothing and of course Barbie and Ken dolls. The doll house comes with 23 Barbie and Ken dolls including the original Ken doll, and some of the

earliest Barbies. The Grisdales are hoping to raise $5,000 with the raffle but there are still lots of tickets left to sell before the raffle draw which will be made on Nov. 7. At just $2 a piece the tickets are a bargain for some lucky youngster. Angie says even boys enjoy playing with the house. People who would like to buy tickets on the doll house can contact the Grisdales at 250-392-6017. The doll house will also be available for viewing and tickets will be available at the Early Bird Christmas Craft Fair taking place at the Elks Hall on Friday, Nov. 2 and Saturday, Nov. 3.

After her initial treatment Brinley and her older brother, Carter, now 7, and the family was treated to a Make a Wish Foundation dream trip to Disney-world in Florida. Her grandparents went along at their own expense and have visited her several times in Arizona during the last year. Angie says Brinley is responding well to the treatment, and growing which is a good sign. The chemotherapy drugs are hard on Brinley’s system and create cravings, and hunger pangs that come on quickly, so she needs to eat small amounts of food every hour or so, rather than big meals. As a result she didn’t grow for a long time. She says the goal is to keep Brinley as happy and healthy as possible through the treatments because a happy child has a stronger chance of fighting the disease. “We thank all our family and friends for their prayers and kind words of encouragement and we appreciate all the support and it is helping Brinley and us to get through this difficult time,” Angie says. “We know the prayers are working as there are so many things that are going well for Brinley right now. Brinley has responded well to treatment. Some days it is hard to believe that she is fighting this cancer battle. Her energy level is so high and so are her spirits that she keeps us all so positive.”

MORTGAGE SENSE 4 Ways to Boost Your Credit! Planning ahead to ensure your credit is healthy before applying for a mortgage can translate into a better mortgage rate and product. Following are four steps you can use to help attain a speedy credit score boost: 1) Pay down credit cards. The number one way to increase your credit score is to pay down your credit cards. Credit cards seem to have a more significant impact on credit scores than car loans, lines of credit, and so on.

3) Act within the statement period:. If your lender is slower at reporting monthly transactions, this can have a significant impact on how other lenders may view your file. Your best bet is to pay your balances down or off before your statement periods close. 4) Don’t let mistakes build up. You should always dispute any mistakes or situations that may harm your score. If, for instance, a cell phone bill is incorrect and the company will not amend it, you can dispute this by making the credit bureau aware of the situation.

2) Limit the use of credit cards. Racking up a large amount and then paying it off in monthly instalments can hurt your credit score. If there is a balance at the end of the month, this affects your score – credit formulas don’t take into account the fact that you may have paid the balance off the next month.

SENIORS SCENE Seniors’ Centre bazaar set for Nov. 15 Win Gooding Special to The Tribune Suddenly we are caught off guard and experiencing the first taste of winter. It’s a big adjustment to make, having to wear winter boots, gloves, and warmer clothes. Also the chore of having to change over to winter tires for safety, if you drive a car. The OAPO Branch 93 held their winter clothing sale on Oct. 13-14

before the cold weather descended upon us. It was a great success convened by Marlene Davis and her team of hard-working volunteers. A big thank you to everyone who supported the sale and to those who donated used clothing to sell. Buyers are getting very good quality clothing at this event. The Seniors’ Activity Centre’s fundraising turkey dinner held on Oct. 21 was a sell-out.

Money raised by these fundraisers helps to keep the Seniors’ Centre upgraded. Kitchen renovations are long overdue so will be receiving top priority in the future. Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped to make this dinner a success, including our Mayor Kerry Cook and Coun. Danika Hughes. The OAPO Branch 93 is having its annual bazaar on Thursday, Nov. 15 at the Seniors’ Centre

from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be a craft and bake table. Donations for the bake table are appreciated. Raffle tickets are on sale now for the quilt, gift certificate and food hamper. The draw will be held on Nov. 1 at 1 p.m. at the Senior’s Centre due to a misprint on the tickets.

“They call the Cariboo home” Francis Johnson: a legacy of dance LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune One of the spectacular events at the 2012 National Aboriginal Day celebration at Thompson Rivers University was hoop dancing, performed by young people from several local First Nations communities. The colourful, energetic dances were orchestrated and organized by local resident Francis Johnson — the first time kids from three separate bands came together to share the gift of traditional dance with their communities. Born in Williams Lake and raised in Alkali Lake, Francis Johnson Sr. said that his interest in hoop dancing began when he started teaching traditional dance, such as ‘Grass’ and ‘Fancy’ dances to kids in Canoe Creek in 2005. He said that he brought in dancers for the kids to watch, and had help from his daughters with drumming and dance steps. “I’d show the kids some moves,” he said. He also taught dancing and drumming to kids from the Red Bluff and Kluskus communities for three years. “After that, some of my Canoe Creek students went to Sugarcane where international champion hoop dancer Dallas Arcand offered a workshop, and when those kids came back to Canoe Creek, they made hoops and they taught me. “I was clumsy at first, but the kids helped me out and after a lot of practice I got better.” He said that it was while pursuing his education at UBC—receiving both a BA and an MA in education, that he realized the powerful importance of cultural dancing in First Nations communities. “Pow wows weren’t part of our culture, and neither is this kind of dancing. We did more barn dancing,” he said. “We borrowed dance styles, such as the

LeRae Haynes photo

Francis Johnson brought young people from the Secwepemc and Tsilhqot’in Nations together to dance at National Aboriginal Day at Thompson Rivers University. Fancy Dance and the Grass-style dancing, and the elders said it was OK. We had people from the prairies come and teach our people dancing and it was passed from one generation to the next. Hoop dancing originated in the US—they used willow sticks tied together, decorated and painted.” He explained that as soon as the kids taught him some hoop dancing, people slowly began to embrace it. “The kids wanted to dance, the parents wanted to encourage them, and I worked with the families to support it. With some basic skills, the kids designed and built their own hoops.” He said that after he successfully auditioned in the Gibraltar Room for the Olympic Torch Ceremony in Williams Lake, he was asked to teach dance at Nemiah. “I taught 18 hoop dancers, with the help of my daughters,” he continued. “With the support of community members from Nemiah and Alkali Lake, we made

skills, and I encouraged them to learn and embrace their culture,” he said. “I also learned a few words in Tsilhqot’in.” At National Aboriginal Day at Thompson Rivers University this summer, he danced with young people from Nemiah, Al-

kali Lake and Anaham Indian Bands. “They all did their own dances and then I put them together for a grand finale—the first time this has happened,” he stated. He added that his goal, from the beginning was to have kids from different bands dance together. “There is natural mentoring between the older kids and the younger ones. I always encourage kids to understand their culture and understand themselves—something that builds their self-esteem and their confidence,” he said. “You see big improvements in the kids. Sometimes they don’t want to perform at all, and after that first time they are a lot more comfortable. I always invite all the kids to join in the hoops for some cross-cultural sharing.” He said that you have to be in shape to dance, and leads by example – jogging five miles three times a week to stay fit. “It also takes practice to get all the different moves,” he explained. “I create high expectations for the kids. If you want to be a hoop dancer, you have to practice and practice. “I teach them to respect their hoops and respect each other when they’re dancing: this is so important for kids.” Francis is married with six children—his wife is a skilled dance regalia maker, his daughters are beaders, dancers, drummers and singers, one of his sons is an excellent dancer and one plays hockey with the Stampeders. He said that his family takes great pride in First Nations culture and history, and added that two of his grandchildren are beginner dancers. He said he’d like to see more bands and more kids get involved in more dance performances. “My goal is eventually to leave this gift for our kids,” he said. “When you’re dancing you bring joy to people.”
