Cedar Creek dam future uncertain
Inside the Tribune NEWS
$1.34 inc. HST
Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Residents in Likely are being given more time to help determine whether or not the Cedar dam above the town will be decommissioned in the fall of 2013. “We’ve made an agreement with the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to do a stability study on the dam. The government is going to help us acquire funding to do that study and if it turns out the dam is stable, it sounds like we’ll be able to possibly continue the existing public private partnership on the maintenance on the dam,” Robin Hood, past president of Likely Xatsu’ll Community Forest told the Tribune. The study has to be completed by Aug. 19, and if the dam is not stable he does not think anyone will want to to be liable for it. “An assessment carried out last year for the ministry by a contractor said a failure in 2012 or 2013 was unlikely, but refused to speculate about the dam’s safety beyond that point,” the ministry’s communications manager Vivian Thomas said. Hood said the five-hectare Nina Lake, above the dam, is a popular fishing spot for locals and tourists.
Children growing up in area would have caught their first fish there most likely, he said. “It’s one of the few places where you can cast from the shore and catch fish. They’re not very big fish, but it’s used by a local destination fishing tour guide.” There is no record of when the dam was built, however, it was built for mining. It’s at least 100 years old. “There is a belt-driven 10-inch water pump in the Cedar Point Park that was found up there, but I’m not the mining expert,” Hood added. Cariboo Regional Area F director Joan Sorley said she met with the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson about the dam in September during the Union of BC Municipalities conference. “He did say he thought it was worth another look. And then we had another opportunity to follow up with him when he was in the region on Oct. 27.” Sorley explained that after the dam failure in Oliver, the province decided it was going to decommission old dams and Cedar dam was on the list. “The sportsman’s association, the seniors association, and community tourism companies in Likely were
all very upset. The area is also moose and fish habitat and a small community association would be hard pressed to find an insurance company willing to give them liability insurance.” The community is hopeful now after the opportunity to see if the dam is stable. “It’s Likely, they get
things done,” Sorely said. If the further study shows that the dam is a threat to public safety, the province will then apply for a decommissioning permit and modify the main wall of the dam and its spillway to restore natural water flows for the following spring snowmelt, Thomas said.
Gold review continues Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Spanish Mountain Gold confirmed Tuesday it will do another Preliminary Economic Assessment(PEA). “It was due at the end of October but may run into either the first or second week of November before it’s completed,” SMG communications manager Chris Clancy said. There were a few reasons behind issuing a second PEA, Clancy explained. “Yes mining costs have increased significantly since 2010, however, so too has the project’s ounces. In 2010, 1.9m ounces were used for the PEA. Today our global resource stands closer to 7m.” The increase should have a significant impact on the economics and
life of mine, Clancy said. At the Cariboo Regional District board meeting Oct. 26, Area F director Joan Sorley told the board she’s been part of the Spanish Mountain Gold working group and was worried the decision by the company to reproduce its economic assessment might mean the prospects of the project are “not quite so promising.” Construction costs for the project have gone up 40 per cent, she added. Clancy, however, said the company chose to reproduce a PEA because it would not have been able to achieve the amount of work necessary to produce a pre-feasibility study (PFS) in a timely fashion to the market. “The PEA allows us to produce updated economics using our complete resource without causing any delay in the timeline.”

NEWS Invasive plants study planned
PRAISE FOR TRU construction coach
Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer An invasive plants pilot project has been approved in principle by the Cariboo Regional District board. The pilot would trial a new 50/50 cost share landowner assistance program to supplement invasive plant management. CRD Chair Al Richmond said Friday the CRD currently has an invasive plant program where it dispenses herbicides and loans equipment to landowners. “We make sure we have some of our own crews that go out and do some spraying. We will do a one-time treatment for folks, and after that, they are on their own,” Richmond explained, adding some people are not physically able to do the treatment on their own.

CRD opposes Greyhound cuts Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The Cariboo Regional District will add its voice to growing opposition to Greyhound’s proposal to reduce service levels in the Cariboo Chilcotin region. Area B director Heloise Dixon-Warren said she ships regularly with Greyhound. When she’s arranging shipping she talks to Greyhound Canada, but when it’s time to pay the bills she has to talk to somebody in Texas. “My experience with Greyhound is that I don’t think they understand what rural transportation networks actually are,” Dixon Warren said, adding it’s important to oppose reduction in service. Quesnel Mayor Mary Sjostrom said her main concern is available transportation for university students travelling back and forth because as a region, the bus is the only mode of public transportation. “Let’s try not to lose it. We should support it and speak up so we won’t lose it,” she said. The proposed cutback from three to two buses is perhaps because Greyhound doesn’t have the ridership, suggested Area

F director Joan Sorley. “I don’t want to say we need the service if we really don’t need it, and maybe two times a day is plenty,” Sorley said. 100 Mile House mayor Mitch Campsall said if Greyhound was getting the ridership it wouldn’t be cutting the service. “Obviously they’re not making money on this run. In our area if having two buses a day going both ways isn’t enough, then knowing Greyhound, they will put another one on or transport people by taxi to the next destination,” Campsall said. “They do a good job, I’ve had lots of service, and if they aren’t making money how can you force a corporation to do something to lose money?” Sjostrom agreed the CRD can’t tell Greyhound to lose money, but said the board can object to the depletion of service. “That’s what we’re doing. If we don’t say anything then I don’t think we’re doing the job of local government leaders if we don’t try and protect the services of people that will be affected,” she said. Area H director Margo Wagner added there is
no other regional public transport. “There are no trains in a lot of the areas. Even for backpackers, this is one of the only ways of getting up here,” Wagner said, adding that First Nations use the Greyhound frequently and for many it’s the only means of transportation.
Some landowners are aging, however, they still want to manage land on their own yet are not able to do the work themselves. “We are looking at a pilot project and perhaps hiring a contractor to help our staff. We have allocated an additional $6,000 to the existing weed program to do that and we’ll look at it afterwards to see how it went,” Richmond said. A second motive for pursuing the pilot is to encourage more contractors in the region to become involved with invasive plant management. “We want to encourage that type of industry in our area to develop local expertise to do the spraying. We don’t have very many contractors that do that,” Richmond added.

Whistler Liberal convention upbeat, says MLA Barnett Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett enjoyed the Liberal convention held at the Chateau Whistler last weekend. She was among 800 delegates that attended, she felt the convention and said it was “upbeat” and she felt great about it. “One of the highlights was the meeting held Friday where people that didn’t belong to the party could come and ask questions. “The cabinet called it an accountability session. The cabinet members were all on stage and people asked them questions,” Barnett said. There were some policy and resolution sessions, however, Barnett had to leave early to return to 100 Mile House for a friend’s funeral and missed most of the resolutions portion. Steve Forseth, a member of the Cariboo Chilcotin Liberal Association, was one of four members from Williams who attended the convention.
He agreed with Barnett that the conference was upbeat. “There was a lot of high energy. Everyone was looking forward to chatting about what is going on provincially and turning the situation around. During the accountability session people were saying they can’t afford the NDP to form government after the next election,” Forseth said. Three policy resolutions that peaked his interest centred around unions, the BCTF and compulsory voting. “One was about making sure unions are using union dues for union activities and not political activities — it passed. I put forward one about compulsory voting, making it mandatory for people to vote in provincial elections. Australia’s had this in place for a number of years, and people can actually be fined for not voting,” Forseth said. It didn’t pass and Forseth actually tried to bring it further, by suggesting it be mandatory for people

to vote in local government elections, but only 15 delegates of about 250 in the room at the time were in favour of the idea. “We also suggested that teacher participation in the BC Teacher Federation be voluntary, rather than mandatory, however, it did not get the support of the delegates either,” he explained. He also attended the policy sessions on Friday where “lots of people” took interest in how to make the province’s finances stable. “At one point it was standing room only during that discussion,” Forseth said, adding the Young Liberals had its AGM and many cabinet members and Premier Christy Clark gave the group support. Next on Barnett’s agenda is to continue working hard for her constituents and to prepare for the upcoming formal nomination meeting for her riding that will take place some time in November, most likely in Williams Lake.

NDP leader speaks at 100 Mile House dinner; outlines party’s campaign approach Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The annual Cariboo Chilcotin NDP fall supper was a sold-out event in 100 Mile House on Saturday, Oct. 27. At one point, it became uncertain if guest speaker, BC NDP leader Adrian Dix, would even make it to the supper when thick fog in Williams Lake forced Dix’s morning flight back to Vancouver. Dix, however, managed to catch the next flight to Kamloops and rented a car for the two and a half hour drive to 100 Mile. Guests greeted Dix
with a big round of applause as he arrived, said the Cariboo Chilcotin NDP in a press release. Following a meal of locally-grown food catered by the Horse Lake Community Farm Coop, Cariboo Chilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse addressed the room and talked about the important connection between the environment and the economy. “The economy is always connected with the environment, it doesn’t matter which particular industry we’re talking about. Whether it’s forestry,
mining, tourism or agriculture. You have to have oversight upon the industry in order to ensure the environment is not adversely affected,” Wyse told the Tribune during a phone interview Tuesday, Oct. 30. “I went into the industries around here. In forestry, when you have a look at the effect that massive clear cuts of the beetle kill have had on the environment you see that as an example of when there isn’t adequate oversight. “In the area of tourism we can talk about the same issue. We’ve had tourism operators and the tourism asso-
ciation warning how massive clear cuts have impacted that industry.” Clearcutting also impacts agriculture, as has especially been seen in the Big Creek watershed where there has been flooding, he added. “The ore deposit that exists at Fish Lake is also an issue. Not only do we have the environmental review decision that came down from Ottawa turning down the project, although B.C. had given it a thumbs up, but the issue around First Nations and the fact both supreme courts of B.C. and Canada have set the
conditions under which First Nations must be involved with all these various discussions.” From the NDP point of view, Wyse said the party has developed an overview of how to work within existing limitations and that he’s firmly convinced that the approach brought forth by Adrian Dix, which brings all parties to the table to find workable solutions, will assist in finding solutions for the economic future of the Cariboo Chilcotin. “I talked about the government’s recent mid-term timber supply report and asked
how anyone can plan for economic security when there is no inventory? I included that very specifically in my discussion on how the oversight of Victoria doesn’t help this region, both the person working in these industries as well as the communities they live in.” Dix also addressed the audience, and, among other topics, outlined the NDP’s approach as it heads toward the spring election campaign. He promised the NDP would say what they would do and say how they would pay for it, focusing on key pri-
orities to address challenges around productivity, inequality and sustainability. Foremost among his priorities will be a commitment to skills training. He also stressed the NDP would run a positive campaign, free of personal attacks. At the close of his speech Dix entertained several questions from the audience then talked individually with many people as the evening came to an end. Prior to the dinner, the local Cariboo Chilcotin NDP held their AGM and elected their officers and executive committee for the coming year.

don’t have to recreate the wheel in all five communities. I think you will see more tips and suggestions coming forward.” Dickson is pursuing his level two in crime prevention and environmental design, which will enable him to work with some of his volunteers to give them the basis to go out and help home and business owners make their properties safer. “Hopefully by the new year we’ll have a group of people ready to go,” Dickson said. Operation Red Nose will run again this year, offering nine evenings of transportation during the holiday season beginning on Nov. 30. “We’ve been given the phone number 250-392-2222 this year so that’s bonus. We’ll be sending more information about the program later,” Dickson added. Community policing board chair Andy Sullivan was among 100 to 200 people that attended a provincial Citizens On Patrol conference in Nanaimo two weeks ago. “We heard the speakers from the RCMP talk about the new legislation around drinking and driving and how you can make your downtown less inviting for criminals,” Sullivan said. Nanaimo has cleaned up its downtown and Sullivan said it’s a joy to walk through there now. Social media was heralded as a means to share information with the public, and a session on recruiting and retention of volunteers, gave Sullivan lots to bring back to the COP program. “It was a good opportu-

Volunteers continue to pour hours of time into community policing programs in Williams Lake. However, all the programs could use additional help. Safer communities coordinator Dave Dickson told city council at its regular meeting Oct. 23, there are about 30 to 40 active members giving 1,200 hours of time to restorative justice, alone. “We just finished a training session with more volunteers. Unfortunately we just get people up to speed and trained and they want to retire or move. It’s an ongoing thing. We’re incredibly grateful for them,” Dickson said. Speedwatch volunteers have been partnering with the RCMP’s four auxiliaries and regular members. “We’re out there, we’re creating awareness, but people sort of mock us because we don’t give out tickets. Surprise — news flash. We will have members periodically deal with the Speedwatch group and if you come zipping through, you may see a few officers step out and give out a ticket,” Dickson said. A hot spot, Dickson added, is over by Marie Sharpe Elementary School. “If you’re travelling through there, or any speed zone, please slow down. Our children are precious.” Citizens on Patrol and the auxiliaries have also been partnering up to walk down streets where crimes occur, checking vehicles and letting ve-
hicle owners know there’s been a spike in auto crime. “We might tell them we notice they have a Dodge or Chevrolet truck and to make sure they keep it safe. We also tell that leaving valuables visible in a vehicle is a bad idea. We’ve had some very good feedback about it and I’m sure we will continue to make the patrols.” Dickson recently returned from an international Crime Stoppers conference, and heard of ways to market and promote the program. “To quote one of the superintendents of the RCMP who was there, Crime Stoppers is number three. Number one is fingerprints, number two is DNA, and number three is Crime Stoppers as the most effective tools for aggressive policing,” Dickson said. One of the most troubling things Dickson heard at the workshop was the increase in human trafficking of children. Drugs is still number one, but trafficking of children is rapidly going up. “If we think we don’t have a problem in our community, we’ve got our heads in the sand. It is shocking what’s going on,” Dickson told council, adding he’d like to meet at another time and venue to further discuss the problem. Business Watch continues to be active, and at the provincial level has realize it needs to ramp up its programs. “There are five Business Watch programs in the province and we’re bringing them together to share best practices so we can be more in sink.

Positioning for 2013 decisions
BC Liberals are “mystifying” investors

was in Prince George Monday for a Women’s Dialogue and Luncheon with Premier Christy Clark, and it was well worth the trip on the snowy highway. I was able to meet with the premier face to face, and again I reminded her of the importance of South Lakeside Drive, and asked again for her support for the project to repave and widen it. Tu e s d a y From the night we Mayor’s heard Chair from the Kerry Cook public on the budget, and today (Thursday) council is holding an all-day budget meeting. Our goal is to have a provisional budget in place by Dec. 1, which is well ahead of the city’s normal schedule. We believe having a provisional budget before 2013 will position us to make better long-term decisions, and to be ready to hit the ground running with capital projects. I went to the Diamond Dinner fundraiser at Signal Point for the first time Saturday, and it was a fantastic event. I attended with Chief Ann Louie and we enjoyed the best meal I’ve ever had. Thank you so much to all the generous businesses for their donations. As always, you’ve come through for the community! I also attended the open house Friday hosted by the construction association, who in partnership with School District 27 and Thompson Rivers University, rebuilt a house destroyed by fire. It was great to see the success that comes from partnerships. On Wednesday, I was surprised by a flash mob of seniors and students, all dressed up in costume. It was part of the intergenerational project between students and seniors, which is a fantastic initiative. They had great energy, and they made my day! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.
Our Viewpoint
Human spirit trumps all As advanced as the human race thinks it is, we are nothing compared to the awesome power of Mother Nature. The first example came Saturday as one of the largest earthquakes in Canadian history rocked Haida Gwaii. Residents of the chain of islands were sent scrambling out of buildings and to higher ground, fearing a tsunami would wash in. Strong aftershocks have continued to strike. Many of us were glued to our televisions Monday night as Hurricane Sandy came ashore and battered the east coast of the U.S. Strong winds and rising water caused extensive damage in several states and forced the usually vibrant New York City to grind to a virtual halt. In Ontario and Quebec, residents were also left coping through the emergency. There is nothing we can do to prevent storms, earth-

quakes or other natural disasters, but it emphasizes the need to prepare. Local emergency management teams and other jurisdictions have comprehensive plans to tackle whatever comes along. All of us as individuals also have a responsibility to be prepared. Make sure your home is secure, stock up on emergency supplies and consider how to efficiently evacuate if required. But while natural forces may be superior, there is one thing that can’t be extinguished and that’s the human spirit. As we have seen in Haida Gwaii and New York, and even here locally, people come together when challenged. It is that sense of community that triumphs over all. - Vernon Morning Star

was surprised to see a Vancouver Sun headline last week proclaiming B.C.’s energy and mines minister was “mystified” at the federal government’s rejection of the Petronas deal (the Malaysian government’s attempt to buy a Canadian natural gas company). Minister Coleman claimed the federal government is putting B.C.’s liquefied natural gas plans at risk by chasing away the capital investment the Malaysian government would bring to the table for one of B.C.’s five proposed LNG plants. I was MLA caught off guard Musings because Bob Simpson I’m sure the owners of Pacific Booker Minerals were “mystified” by the BC Liberals’ decision to reject their Morrison Mine project (MMP) earlier this month, despite B.C.’s environmental assessment pffice stating “the proposed project would not result in any significant adverse effects with the successful implementation of mitigation measures and conditions.” One mining executive informed me that the nonsensical nature of the Morrison decision sends a signal to all junior mining companies to stay away from B.C. The rejection of this project reminded me of Environment Minister Terry Lake’s public statements about the lack of detail in Enbridge’s project plan, which likely has that company “mystified,” too. In short, the B.C. government is asking Enbridge for a level of detail that is not required at this stage of the project approval process. While I don’t understand the politics or the logic behind the rejection of the MMP, the politics behind the BC Liberals’ position on the Enbridge pipeline is all too clear: they’re trying to play catch up with the NDP, who outflanked them on this particular pipeline in advance of the May 2013 election. The way the B.C. government is playing crass politics is sending “mystifying” signals to the investment community. B.C. is once again proving it doesn’t have its act together when it comes to attracting investment to develop its natural resources. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Minister for seniors taken to task Editor: I’d like to respond to Seniors Minister Sultan and his address in Williams Lake. His dissing of my comments about the value and sacrifices seniors have made in this province was, unfortunately, typical of the Liberal government. After having been elected three times, he has the enjoyment of a sub-

stantial pension and great health care, all paid for by the taxpayers, including the seniors of course. If anyone is living in a “dream world” surely it is him. We are still waiting on opening the extra beds in 100 Mile House and the minister has no knowledge or funding for what we need in the Williams Lake hospital. No reduction in prescription drug costs because his government caved
in to the drug companies wanting exemptions. He also mentions that there are many communities that are not “age” friendly, meaning seniors. He may not agree but I think seniors are a great asset to any community. Under the current minister, B.C. may not be a great place to be a senior. Gary Young Lac La Hache

Williams Lake Chamber a powerful voice for business Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce was recognized Thursday, Oct. 25 for being a “powerful voice for business in the community” by B.C. Chamber chair Maureen Kirkbride. “Although you are a relatively small chamber, the quality and consistency of your policy and advocacy work is second to none in the province. Particularly, your efforts in support of the Prosperity Mine have set a bench mark for your peers across the chamber net work,” Kirkbride said while speaking at the chamber’s regular monthly meeting held at Signal Point. The Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce received honourable mention in the Chamber of the Year category at the BC Chamber of Commerce annual meeting earlier this year. Kirkbride told members Thursday she was adding her own thanks and congratulations for a “very well deserved” reward. Praising the qualities of executive director Claudia Blair, and her commitment to the chamber movement, Kirkbride acknowledged Blair’s willingness to share knowledge. Kirkbride also talked about the role chambers play to make communities better places to live and do business. While local chambers can advocate for business at the local level, the BC Chamber of Commerce advocates for businesses on a provincial level, and at a national level through the Canadian Chamber, she
Letters aLways weLcome
said. “It’s difficult for the provincial government to hear small business or even a single community, but there’s tremendous power that comes from being part of an organization that speaks on behalf of 32,000 businesses.” And government is listening, Kirkbride added, and suggested chamber recommendations have resulted in a “plethora” of government policy changes. “In response to a request by the BC Chamber this fall, the provincial government announced this Monday it would work with the chamber and its members in developing a small business accord, to hear suggestions and reduce red tape to make B.C. the most business-friendly jurisdiction in the country.” Earlier this year the BC Chamber told government, small business needed more access to training, and at the BC Chamber’s AGM in Penticton, Premier Christy Clark announced the creation of a $3.1 million micro business training program aimed at delivering skills training to owners of businesses with fewer than five employees. “Acting on a concept prepared by the BC Chamber in 2010, the provincial government last year announced the establishment of the Municipal Auditor General’s office. Its mandate is to ensure local governments are accountable and able to provide services in a competitive and cost effective way,” Kirkbride said. The BC Chamber has also pushed for the government’s need to return
to balanced budgets, and rework the approval process for large projects to streamlining the immigration process, she added. “No other organization can point to a similar range of concrete changes to such a broad range of issues.” Many of the suggestions the BC Chamber puts forth, have in fact, come due to the action of local chambers. When asked if the BC Chamber’s approach will change if there’s a change in government after May’s election, Kirkbride said it won’t. “BC Chamber is an apolitical policy based organization. We will continue to work with all elected parties and government officials to bring forth challenges that our members tell us are important.” As communities look to diversify their economies, the BC Chamber can play a role in shaping public debate on the province’s future. Early in October, the BC Chamber partnered with the BC Business Council to launch the BC Agenda for Shared Prosperity, an initiative designed to look at the economic and social development issues affecting the prosperity of the province. “It is driven in large measure by what can only be described as a troubled state of public discourse on the economy. It will come as no surprise to anyone in this room when I say that our political culture in B.C. is polarized and has been polarized for decades. Ideological warfare has silenced the civil conversations we need to have about the critical questions facing our economy.”

Visiting teams on the girls’ side of the tournament included 100 Mile House, Smithers, Kelly Road secondary, Nechako Valley secondary and Prince George secondary. All of the girls games were played at Williams Lake Secondary School. Meanwhile at Columneetza secondary junior and senior boys teams in the region were duking it out. On the senior boy’s side it was the Williams Lake Stags battling back after a rough round robin Friday to
make the final and beat Kelly Road Secondary School, 14-7, to win the championship. The Stags started off its tournament with losses to Kelly Road Secondary School and Smithers before turning it around and going unbeaten the rest of the way. Cody Nunn, Brendan Nguyen and Trake Kulyk each had strong tournaments for the Stags. The junior boys side also proved to be extremely competitive. Winning gold was Columneetza, followed closely behind by Williams Lake secondary in the silver spot.
The Cougars managed a 24-0 semifinal win over the Stags before moving on to beat Nechacko Valley secondary, 10-5, in the gold-medal game. Smithers, who was right in the hunt for medal contention in both the junior and senior boys divisions, returned home prior to Saturday’s playoff rounds due to poor road conditions leaving the top three teams in the junior division to play each other. The Cougars managed the best record with two wins and no losses while the Stags finished with one win
and one loss. “We were all disappointed that Smithers couldn’t stay but such are the conditions in the north,” said Cougars coach Todd Pritchard. David Julius, coach of the Stags junior boys squad, added he was happy with the way his club played. “All the WLSS junior boys played well and showed great sportsmanship,” Julius said. Coaches added standout players in the tournament for the Stags were Cole Leclerc, Jon Navratil and Lucas Johnson and Orrin Watkinson and Jay Richards for the Cougars.

ROPED IN!
Torry Hoffos and Wade Montgomery grin as they simultaneously toss their jackets over their shoulders as they model clothing from Bob’s Shoes and Repairs at the B.C. Rodeo Association’s awards banquet, fashion show, auction and dance held Saturday night, Oct. 27 at the Gibraltar Room in Williams Lake. The teens participated, good-naturedly – in spite of the fact that they were, no doubt, roped into appearing by their barrel-racing friends; cousins, Madison Smith and Sydney Freeman. The boys, however, took their turns on the catwalk well in stride. The Log House (100 Mile) and Bob’s Shoes and Repairs teamed up to put on a fashion show during the evening which featured western clothing and footwear. The event was sold out early.
Hospital fundraising gala could use a little help Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer The fourth annual hospital gala coming up Saturday, Nov. 24 is already sold out but that doesn’t mean a ticket can’t be had or that fundraising is all sewed up. The formal Christmas gala with this year’s theme An Evening in Paris is sponsored by the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust and continues two years of fundraising efforts toward the purchase of a new digital mammography machine for Cariboo Memorial Hospital. The gala includes dinner, dancing and entertainment with the band March Hare from Vancouver, live and silent auctions, and a special diamond ring raffle sponsored by Woodland Jewellers. Hospital Trust co-chair Rick Nelson says organizers are taking names for a ticket waiting list because there are always a few people who buy tickets early on to support the cause and then find they are unable to attend. “Also we are in desperate need of donations to cover expenses,” Nelson says. “We would appreciate silent and live auction items as well as cash donations to help cover expenses.”
He says some of the auction donations to date include a week at a retreat in New Zealand, a week at a golf resort in Phoenix, Az., a week at Sun Peaks, plus smaller items such as photographs by Mike Jacobson, watches and sun glasses. The earlybird raffle draw is for a weekend at the Hester Creek Winery bed and breakfast. Once again, Nelson says Woodland Jewellers has also generously donated a diamond ring designed by Geoff Bourdon for a fundraising raffle. The pink diamond ring is valued at $9,995. There are only 600 tickets at $20 a piece and they sell quickly. “Every year they sell out,” Nelson says. Tickets to the formal gala are $85 a piece but even at that price he says costs take a big chunk of the profits so the more in-kind and cash donations that are received the more of the money raised will go toward the purchase of a new digital mammography machine for the hospital. This year will be the fourth year the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust has held a Christmas fundraising galas to raise funds for major diagnostic equipment needed at Cariboo Memorial Hospital.
He says the trust started raising funds for major pieces of hospital equipment in 1999. Purchases have been based on recommendations by the local doctors. The first project was the purchase of the existing mammography machine. Following that the trust helped to purchase a CT scanner and an electrocardiogram machine for the hospital. Now, for the past two years, he says they are back to raising funds to replace the mammography machine which is now outdated. The new machine will cost about $1 million (plus). Nelson notes the local community needs to raise 60 per cent of the cost of the equipment or about $600,000. So far he says the community has raised about $260,000. Nelson says local doctors estimate they do 50 mammography diagnostic and screening scans a week or approximately 2,500 per year. He says the screening and diagnostic images taken with the existing analogue equipment need to be sent away for assessment by specialists in larger communities which takes time. The new digital mammography unit for detecting breast cancer in women and men has the advantage of providing clearer, brighter
and more detailed images which can be sent in real time by fibre optic imaging to a specialist in another community. If necessary to speed diagnosis and treatment, he says the specialist can view and consult on the images as they are being taken. He says the whole purpose of having up to date diagnostic equipment in the community is so that people don’t have to travel to larger communities for assessment. Having up-to-date equipment to work with at the hospital also helps to attract doctors, specialists, surgeons, and technicians to the community, he notes. Last year Nelson says the hospital gala raised about $48,000 for the project which was an alltime best for the event. This year they hope to break $50,000 with fewer guests. He says they try to circulate holding the gala in different venues each year. Last year 230 tickets were sold for the gala held at Thompson Rivers University, but this year the gala will be held at the Gibraltar Room which is a slightly smaller venue so they were only able to sell 220 tickets. Nelson says the Hospital Trust will issue receipts for tax purposes on donations.

Chiwid TransiTion house Supports ending Violence Against Women
Innocent Voices next up in film festival Krista Liebe Special to The Tribune The next film of the Williams Lake Film Club will be screened Tuesday, Nov. 6 at the Gibraltar Room. As Remembrance Day is coming up we chose a film to confront us with this subject, however, not about the one and only “Big War” which is always remembered, but one of the countless small wars happening around the world even now when we should know better. Innocent Voices is set in El Salvador in the 1980s. “When the war started, dad left for the United States,” Chava, the 11-year-old narrator tells us at the beginning of the film. “Mom said now I was the man of the

In many ways Chava is still a child, he wants to play with his buddies, and life seems to be pretty exciting. He does not really understand the political
implications, he understands his friends and his family. And he watches their reactions. He tries to help and comfort his frightened mother, he admires his rebel uncle because he is like a hero to him, he fears the government because he fears being taken into the
army. He reacts to life around him and his actions are often inspiring in his naïve trust in life, he is funny and brave, and most of all, he is totally believable in his role. Chava survived the war. He has actually written the screenplay for this film and was on the set during filming every day to assure the accuracy of the film. Maybe this is one of the reasons that you as the viewer feel very much involved in the life of the family and their village. In 2005 Innocent Voices received the Crystal Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. This award is given by a jury of seven young people age 14 and up and is sponsored by the Kinderhilfswerk, the society
to help children and youths around the world. Great news, the equipment at the Gibraltar Room has been fixed. We now have surroun d sound and a great picture again. I am really looking forward to next Tuesday with the new equipment. Old fashioned German Advent Calendars will be available at the door again, $2 each. I get them from a secret source in Edmonton. These calendars are over 20 years old, really something special for your children and grandchildren. The film starts at 7 p.m., back doors open 6:30 p.m. Admission is $9 regular, $8 members, and $6 senior citizens (65+) and students, TRU and high school.

MORTGAGE NEWS Mortgage Term vs. Amortization One of the most common sources of confusion for home buyers is the difference between a mortgage term and mortgage amortization period. The mortgage term is the length of time you are committed to a mortgage rate, lender and lender conditions. The term of a mortgage can be anywhere from 6 months to 10 years. The term acts like a ‘reset’ button on a mortgage. When the term is up, you must renew your mortgage on the remaining principle, at a new rate available at the end of the existing term, and possibly with a different lender if you choose to rate shop. Mortgage amortization is the amount of time it takes to pay off your entire mortgage. An insured mortgage, meaning you have default insurance through CMHC that allows you to put less than 20% down on your purchase, is a maximum of 25 years. A non-insured mortgage has a maximum amortization period of 30-35 years depending on the lender.

Longer amortization periods reduce your monthly payments as you are paying your mortgage off over a greater number of years. However, you will pay more interest over the life of the mortgage with a longer amortization period. Many home buyers choose shorter amortization periods resulting in higher monthly payments if they can afford to do so. This reduces the total interest payable.

Beth Marsh was among Order of the Eastern Star members hosting a tea at St. Andrew’s United Church Saturday.
The University of Northern BC’s Quesnel River Research Centre in Likely is inviting the public to attend one or both of two Science Town Hall meetings coming up this month in Horsefly and Williams Lake. These meetings are a chance for community members who work, live, and/or enjoy recreation in the Quesnel River Watershed to discuss land uses that may affect the way they use the watershed with the research centre faculty and staff.
“The goal of these workshops is to explore our future research directions and potential collaborative projects with members of the community,” says Sam Albers the new research centre manager. The first meeting hosted by the Horsefly River Roundtable will be held at the Horsefly Community Hall, Wednesday, Nov. 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. A second town hall meeting hosted by the Williams Lake Field Naturalists and Scout Island Nature
Centre will be held in the Thompson Rivers University cafeteria in Williams Lake on Thursday, Nov. 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. Albers asks that people who plan to attend one or both of the meetings to reserve a seat by giving him a call at 250-790-2031 or by email at samuel. albers@unbc.ca The town hall meetings are a follow-up to the Stakeholder Workshop Series ( h t t p : / / w w w. u n b c . ca/qrrc/stakeholder_workshop_series. html ).

“They call the Cariboo home” Sullivans wouldn’t live anywhere else, they say Monica Lamb-Yorski Special to The Tribune Andy and Linda Sullivan arrived in Williams Lake in June 1979. They’d been living on Vancouver Island when Andy applied for the position of assistant secretary treasurer for School District 27. He was successful and the family moved north. The Sullivans met in Ladysmith, where they were both working at the school board office. Andy was an accountant and Linda was the clerk secretary for basically everyone in the board office. She was the oldest of three girls, growing up in Chemainus, where her father was a crane operator at the MacMillan Bloedel mill in town. Her mother was a stay-at-home mom. Andy grew up north of Grand Prairie, Alta. in a little place called Valhalla Centre. His father was a labourer, his mother a teacher. In fact, his mom taught him for four years of elementary school. “We lived in teacherages,” Andy recalled. The Sullivans were married in Ladysmith on March 28, 1970, Andy’s birthday. “I always say it was the best present he ever got,” Linda said smiling. From Ladysmith they moved to Nanaimo, where Andy worked at Malaspina College when it was first getting started. He then worked for two years at the North Vancouver SchoolBoard, while Linda worked for the West Vancouver School Board. It was the couples’ opportunity to see if they liked living in the big city, they said. They returned to Vancouver Island and from there made the move to Williams Lake. Andy stayed with School District 27 for 20 years, working as secretary treasurer for the last

Linda and Andy Sullivan have made Williams Lake their home since 1979, enjoying work, volunteering and life in the Cariboo. three. When the Sullivans arrived in Williams Lake there were about five houses available to buy. They wanted a house that was close to the schools so they wouldn’t have to move again. Eventually they chose a home near Nesika, Anne Stevenson and Columneetza schools so their sons could make their own way to school, without having to be bused. Linda admitted the first year in Williams Lake was a challenge. She missed the ocean, her family, and the year they moved to Williams Lake there were three weeks of hot days with temperatures 90 Celsius plus. “I don’t do heat well so for that first while I just about died. I cried and missed my family and then thought I’d better pick up my boots straps and go out and meet people.” That led to her being part of a coffee group for moms, volunteering at the United Church and eventually volunteering at Ma-
rie Sharpe elementary school. “Our kids were in Nesika, but they had more than enough volunteers there, and I wanted to volunteer somewhere. There was an ad in the paper for a library/secretary person so I went and volunteered there for quite a few years,” Linda recalled, adding she also adopted a senior at a care home and took her out on excursions. Most of her volunteer time was when her kids were young and in school. When the boys were almost finished school, she began working in the registrar’s office at Cariboo College in 1990. She stayed there until four years ago, retiring from what is now Thompson Rivers University. Andy said he enjoyed the region from the get go. “I was raised in a farming community, and being in the Cariboo meant we were almost right in the middle of where our parents were so there was lots of visiting back and forth. His first foray into volunteer-
ing began with boy scouts. Both sons were involved and it was rewarding, Andy said. “We had campouts and Linda would help with the meals. There were winter campouts too where we were in a lodge and it was kind of fun.” Andy also volunteered on the board of the UBC Research Forest for three years, and for four or five years with Big Brothers Big Sisters because they used the UBC forestry camp at Gavin Lake. He’s been on the board for the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy for seven years. For five years he volunteered oneon-one at a school with a student that was having problems with English and Math. Then he joined Citizens on Patrol six years ago, and is now chairman of the community policing board. After retirement, he purchased two horses that he boards at the Minton Ranch in Wildwood. The first one, Midnight, came
from the SPCA. “He’s been the best horse we could ask for. We got started with horses because our grandson wanted to see horses,” Andy said. The grandfather and grandson participate in the Stampede parades, and the annual the Great Cariboo Ride, of which Andy’s on the board, that attracts 40 riders from all over to go out riding and camping around ranch areas in the Cariboo for a week. “Meals and hay are provided,” Andy said. Andy is also part of the Citizens on Patrol on horses in Williams Lake. Both sons lived in town — Todd, who worked at the Tribune and the Cariboo Advisor, now has his own publication The Stew. Kevin is an electrical apprentice with Steve Sandrock Electrical. “We’re fortunate to have both boys here in town,” Linda said. After more than three decades in Williams Lake the Sullivans have seen some changes. Every business was a small business, and downtown was always busy when they arrived. “The downtown was the core,” Andy said. “We used to go dancing at the Lakeview Hotel before it burned down. It had a big dance floor,” Linda recalled. The Sullivans said they cannot imagine living anywhere else. They own a fifth wheel and love camping and travelling through Canada and the U.S. northwest states. “When I go back to Vancouver Island, if it’s a nice day that’s great, but if it’s rainy, I really notice it now. I love the weather here. Even in the winter, I love the crisp blue days. Usually the sun is out, and I find it hard to believe that first year I was so unhappy here,” Linda said, adding people are friendly and they’ve made very close friends.
