PIPE BAND TO LEAD REMEMBRANCE DAY PARADE

Williams Lake RCMP attended the scene of an accident on Hwy. 97, south of Blue Lake Road, at approximately 6:42 a.m. Nov. 7.

The Williams Lake Pipe Band, which will be part of the Remembrance Day ceremonies Sunday, performed Saturday evening with musical friends at the band’s Celtic Ceilidh held at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 139 hall in Williams Lake. The special guest artist was ﬁddler Sarah Beck originally from Williams Lake and now from Cape Breton.

Focused plan needed to tackle lakecity crime Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake RCMP detachment is consistently one of the busiest detachments in B.C., ranking number one or in the top three for calls for service, case burden per member and crimes against persons. At its regular meeting Nov. 6, Williams Lake city council passed a motion to recognize the challenges policing faces in the community and to develop a strategy through the policing portfolio to approach the provincial and federal government. No other city in B.C. has outranked Williams Lake since the stats have been made available, acting chief administrative officer Geoff Goodall noted in a report to council Nov. 6. Coun. Ivan Bonnell said the crime rates are no reflection of the service provided by the local RCMP

detachment. “We have top notch service from the detachment and top notch leadership. It’s been reported to us many times that 90 per cent of the crimes committed are by repeat offenders,” he said, adding in the budget discussions held with city departments on Nov. 1, RCMP Inspector Warren Brown told council the detachment is underfunded in its capacity to “get on top” of the situation and there needs to be a focused plan of action. “It’s important to ask the provincial and federal governments for more allocations of resources to combat that challenge. There’s no question that there’s a clear and present danger to people and property by prolific offenders. Hopefully we can get that advocacy going at the federal and provincial level,” Bonnell said. Mayor Kerry Cook has been part

of a police portfolio that meets every two weeks and said there will be a report coming forward from those meetings. On Nov. 5, Cook and Brown participated in a teleconference with mayors across Canada of communities that have ranked in the top 10 for crime, initiated by the mayor of Thompson, Man. “We were able to quickly see that we have a lot of things in common, that we are hub communities, with lots of transient people and a lot of similar challenges. We’re going to have another meeting in the future to come together to share successes. One of the points I and Inspector Brown mentioned was the need for additional resources,” Cook said, adding the Williams Lake RCMP detachment has exhausted all avenues available to them. “Collectively across Canada, these top crime hit communities are

looking at strength in numbers in going forward to the federal government,” Cook. Much of the crime in Williams Lake is transient committed by offenders who live outside of Williams Lake, and the local detachment has employed a number of strategies to maximize its efforts to deal with the local policing challenges, some of which are 12 separate community policing programs, Prolific Offender Program, and Victim Services. “Williams Lake was one of six municipalities included in a prolific offender pilot program, but the province chose to discontinue the funding to this program due to the lack of scientific data that supported its effectiveness, though during the pilot program the city saw likely the largest drop in crime statistics in its history and we contribute much of this to the Prolific Offender Program,” Goodall’s reported noted.

City begins recruiting for new CAO Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A contract for $17,000 has been awarded to recruit a new chief administrative officer (CAO) for the city of Williams Lake. The new recruit will replace existing CAO Brian Carruthers whose resignation was announced on Sept. 19. At the regular council meeting Tuesday Mayor Kerry Cook said human resources provided a number of options, ranging up to $50,000 for professional firms to provide recruitment service for a new CAO. “We’ve gone with Grant Smith of Waterhouse Executive Search,” Cook said. Council’s executive committee Skyped with Smith last week and was convinced of his “experience and success” and felt confident to award him the contract. At the beginning of the recruitment process, the committee will survey council, staff, and people in the community to determine what characteristics and qualities are desired for a new CAO. That should take a few weeks, Cook said, adding Smith has walked through similar processes many times, and once the committee has compiled the information, Smith can go out to market the position. “This is going to be a search, not only in

Thursday, November 8, 2012 Williams Lake Tribune

B.C., but across Canada. There will be a posting, screening, interviews, so the process will probably take about three to four months before we have a new CAO for Williams Lake,” Cook explained. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said every day he hears from people in the community that hope the recruitment will involve “going out” of the community for the search. Cook told council Smith reported 60 per cent of the successful candidates are from his data base and marketing is key. “Matching key people to the position, knowing the community and knowing what’s out there is important,” Cook said. Council unanimously endorsed awarding the recruitment contract to Smith. Carruthers was with the city for two years as director of leisure services, six years as general manager of community services, and for the last three years served as CAO. He has accepted a position as CAO for the Regional District of Central Kootenay in Nelson and will be assuming his new role as of Nov. 19. Cook also announced the city has hired a new executive assistant, Heather Sylvester. Sylvester began working on Nov. 1, filling a position that had been vacant for two months.

NEWS Remember our troops, past, present and future Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Veterans, Royal Canadian Legion members, RCMP in Red Serge, Cadets, Scouts, Guides, and the Williams Lake Pipe Band will be among those leading the Remembrance Day ceremonies in Williams Lake this Sunday. The ceremonies start in the Gibraltar Room Sunday, Nov. 11. The doors open to the public at 9 a.m. and the service starts at 9:30 a.m. Following the Gibraltar Room service the parade carries on to the Cenotaph next to city hall for the two minute wave of silence at 11 a.m. and the laying of wreaths in remembrance of all those who have lost their lives in defence of Canada. Debra Hance will be laying the wreath on behalf of Canada’s Silver Cross Mother this year. Cp. Phil Sullivan is the parade marshal. “The legion encour-

ages one and all to come and take part in the Remembrance Day services,” says Reg Norberg, the 2012 poppy campaign chair. From the Cenotaph the public is invited to join the parade to the Legion hall on Barnard Street where hot dogs and refreshments will be available for all the youth participants downstairs. Upstairs Royal Canadian Legion Branch 139 invites adults to join them for lunch (free or by donation), fellowship and entertainment throughout the afternoon. The Old Time Fiddlers, The Perfect Match and Williams Lake pipers will be among the entertainers. At 4 p.m. a free beef dip supper is provided by Save On Foods.

the past and wars taking place around the world today. “On Remembrance Day we officially remember our military people, in particular

those who have fallen in the duty of defending our nation,” Norberg says. “Every day we should also remember those who have fallen, and in particular consider the

troops today who have post traumatic stress disorder and how we can help make life better for them. “Every day is a day we should be remembering.”

Leaders agree Fraser sockeye need more protection Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Hon. Bruce Cohen’s 1,100 page reported titled The Uncertain Future of Fraser River Sockeye www.cohencommission.ca is an interesting report with very strong recommendations, said Dr. Craig Orr, executive director of Watershed Watch Salmon Society. “We need to see how it is going to be implemented and what action government takes,” Orr told the Tribune. In the report Cohen discusses the causes for the decades-long decline in productivity of Fraser River sockeye salmon and makes 75 recommendations to improve the future sustainability of the fishery. While he acknowl-

edged that some hoped the report would find a “smoking gun” or single cause that explained the two-decade decline in productivity, Cohen said finding that “a single event or stressor is responsible is improbable.” “We haven’t gone through the report in detail,” Orr said Oct. 31, the day the report was released, but noted his preliminary look at the report showed it uncovered potential causes, including that Fraser Sockeye are experiencing thermal stress related to climate change. “Cohen said he didn’t know exactly what to do about that.” Orr pointed out that Cohen was also very clear that Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is suffering from a conflicted mandate — pro-

moting salmon farms and regulating them — and recommended DFO no longer be responsible for promoting salmon farming as an industry and farmed salmon as a product. Cohen suggested that promoting salmon farms be mandated out of DFO and given to another branch of government, and that DFO should regulate salmon farming and protect wild fish. “A point that made us cheer as conservationists was his emphasis that DFO should fully implement and fund Canada’s Wild Salmon Policy and its Habitat Protection Policy,” Orr said. “Both policies are languishing at this time, and Cohen suggested there be a dedicated staff person at the senior level in DFO to

ensure the Wild Salmon Policy is fully implemented. He was also quite critical of the recent omnibus bill that made changes in the fisheries act and made it more difficult to protect salmon habitat.” The Northern Shuswap Tribal Council (NSTC) is a member of the First Nations Coalition and was granted standing at the inquiry. Gord Sterrit, NSTC fisheries manager, said as a participant he advocated the importance of First Nations involvement in fisheries management activities, such as stock assessment by NSTC within its traditional territory, which includes the Quesnel Lake and Horsefly watersheds. “Justice Cohen made some valuable recom-

mendations that if adhered to by the federal government could be instrumental in protecting the wild salmon that are important to this province. Overall the process was good for Fraser Sockeye. The report makes recommendations for protection and improvement of habitat,” Sterrit said. Applauding Cohen’s recommendation that the Wild Salmon and Habitat policies be implemented, Sterrit said in the Cariboo damage has occurred from unmonitored agriculture and mining activities that could be addressed by the implementation of both policies. “The NSTC fisheries department has been requesting that DFO fully honour the WSP policy

since it was introduced in 2005 and hopefully DFO will finally be forced to do so,” he said. Agreeing with the recommendation that there be increased monitoring and enforcement of activities that affect fish and fish habitat, Sterrit alleged there are many activities that DFO does not currently enforce due to lack of capacity and resources. “Within the Cariboo Region there are many situations where deleterious substances are being introduced to fish-bearing waters. The discharge of tailings pond water is one example.” Pleased that Cohen criticized the changes that the federal government made by passing Bill C-38, Sterrit said the

NSTC fisheries department as well as many others have huge concerns with the changes and the effects that they will have on salmon. “In essence the federal government alleviated protection of fisheries habitat through the implementation of this bill and acted without fully realizing the implications to wild salmon.” Numerous processes were suspended by the federal government, including treaty negotiations for fish with First Nations, as well as international processes (Pacific Salmon Commission - Fraser Sockeye Annex renewal) with the United States, Sterrit said.

Remembrance Day, teachers and students remember those who have been injured or killed in battle.

TNG wants input on sockeye management Continued From Page A3 Without waiting for the results of the Cohen Inquiry, the government also pushed through changes to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency Sterrit said. “While the NSTC fisheries department is excited for the most part with the recommendations of Justice Cohen, the actions of the Federal Government in the past year have been less than encouraging.” Chief Joe Alphonse, Tsilhqot’in National Government chair, issued a press release Nov. 5 stating the

Tsilhqot’in are pleased the report has been issued, yet remain concerned the Cohen Commission did not have the resources to visit any of the Tsilhqot’in communities or had a mandate to consult directly with the TNG as a First Nation. He argued that First Nations traditional knowledge about the salmon and its habitat in headwaters would have helped, and suggested that knowledge be used to guide the federal government’s response to the report. “There has to be a balance of western science and First Nations knowledge while trying to determine what

happened, how to develop a recovery strategy together, and this consultation cannot be after the fact,” Alphonse said and called on the government of Canada to take immediate action to respond to the Cohen Report and to meaningfully involve the Tsilhqot’in

and all other First Nations in developing a response. “With careful Tsilhqot’in management, we have preserved the most resilient sockeye run in B.C. - the Chilko run. We have done this through selective fishing and preservation

of our pristine headwaters at Chilko and Taseko Lakes,” Alphonse said.

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. 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.

A time to reflect

Some breathing room?

s we approach Remembrance Day on Sunday, it is a time to slow down enough to reflect on those who stood up to serve for what they believe, and those who are standing up and serving now. I am very thankful to those who risked and gave their lives so we can enjoy the freedoms that we all have as Canadians. Every time I’m in city hall, I see the photos of our community members currently serving overseas, and I’m reminded of the need to ensure we honour and From the rememMayor’s ber them, Chair and all those Kerry Cook w h o have served Canada in uniform. We will never forget. It was a very well-attended meeting last week to discuss solutions to the problem of safety in Boitanio Park. The park is a symbol for our community — a beautiful place, a place where we come together to celebrate — the Children’s Festival, concerts, biking events — but just like the community as a whole, if you scratch the surface, you see the unhealthy side — addictions, crime, and violence. In the city’s citizen survey last year identified crime and safety, and specifically safety in Boitanio Park, as the top concern. It was great to see a number of key partners come together at the meeting, because we need to clearly identify the issues behind the problem before it can be addressed. This is not about pointing fingers or blaming people; it’s about addressing behaviours. Also, last week, Inspector Brown and I were part of a conference call with a number of other communities at the top of the Crime Severity Index list. We discussed the approaches we take to reduce crime, and we are all interested in another meeting. The city is continuing to work to reduce crime — we do not want to be in the top five on the CSI list any longer. Boitanio Park is one step in addressing this issue. This is not just an RCMP problem; this is a community issue. Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Treat veterans with honour On Sunday many of us will gather around Cenotaphs and in city squares for solemn ceremonies paying tribute to Canada’s service men and women. We’ll hear words like sacrifice and honour, some of them uttered by politicians. But for some veterans they’ll ring hollow. In 2006, Parliament unanimously passed the New Veterans Charter that changed the way injured soldiers are compensated. Instead of a lifetime pension, indexed to inflation, veterans injured after that year, or who had their injury diagnosed since then, would get a lump sum settlement. Veterans Affairs champions the new system as “a more complete approach to helping our men and women injured in the line of duty,” offering them “real hope.” But some injured veterans say otherwise. They say Canadian soldiers injured in Afghanistan, and those suffering the lingering mental and emotional effects of their tour are getting substantially less support than they

would have received with the former indexed pension. A study by Queen’s University last year concluded most disabled soldiers will receive only two-thirds the compensation under the New Veterans Charter than they would have received from the old act. Recently Canada’s Auditor-General criticized the Canadian Forces and Veterans Affairs for their shoddy treatment of injured veterans, saying the system to get them help is “complex, lengthy and challenging to navigate.” Even in death, the indignities continue. A program that is supposed to contribute just over $3,600 to the funeral costs for destitute ex-soldiers has rejected more than two-thirds of funding requests since 2006. Even when approved, that money is still less than some social services departments will pay towards the burial of the homeless. It’s one thing for Canada’s politicians to honour our veterans. It’s another to treat them with honour. - Burnaby News Leader

ow that the long-winded and obscenely expensive American presidential election is over there are three things to watch that will directly impact BC’s economy in the near term. The first is how President Obama tackles the tricky issue of the Keystone XL pipeline. Recall he only tabled further debate on that pipeline until after this election. In his highly rhetorical victory speech last night the president indicated that freeing the U.S. from forMLA eign oil would be Musings one of his Bob Simpson priorities, and Canadian-sourced oil is fundamental to America’s energy security. Expect the Keystone pipeline issue to be revisited very soon, which will have implications for both the proposed Enbridge and Kinder Morgan pipelines here. Second is the Obama administration’s interest in natural gas exports, and Obama’s support for fracking. As Minister Bell states whenever he gets a chance, there is no second place in the race to get LNG to Asia. An accelerated U.S. natural gas push to Asia could easily push B.C. out of the running for “first place” in the global LNG race. The third is how President Obama handles the gridlock in Washington and the “fiscal cliff” that’s coming as automatic tax and spending cuts kick in. The United States is a bankrupt and deeply divided nation, but there are signs it is pulling out of the depression it fell into after the 2008 crash. That’s been great news for our lumber sector and, if the positive trend continues, it may buy us some breathing room as it will allow more of our pine beetle killed forests to be economically logged, staving off potential mill closures in the near term. If U.S. lumber prices do continue to firm up, then we must use the breathing room this will give us to develop a real transition strategy for our traditional forest sector and the communities and workers that depend on it. We desperately need a true vision and strategy that does not depend on a panicked opening of forest reserve areas to logging or a rapid and ill-thought out conversion of our public forests to quasi-private, areabased tenures. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

More Viewpoints Appreciate contributions Question of the week Editor: I’d like to respond to the many inaccuracies and misinformation in the letter “Minister for seniors taken to task.” In 2010, a $7.2 million addition was opened at Fischer Place/Mill Site Lodge with 14 new residential care beds as part of a 29-bed expansion. Funding was shared by our government, Interior Health and the Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District, with funds raised by local residents to purchase equipment. Government, along with Interior Health, is monitoring the need for residential care in the region. As for Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams Lake, our government is committed to providing safe, quality patient care. The Min-

istry of Health and Interior Health are aware of the physical and functional deficiencies at Cariboo Memorial Hospital. Now that the Master Plan has been completed, Interior Health can take the next step in developing more detailed proposals for capital projects to upgrade the facility. These proposals will be considered by the ministry in the context of capital priorities for Interior Health as well as capital project priorities province-wide. With regards to prescription drugs costs, B.C. has also shown its commitment to lower generic drug prices with the passing this year of the Pharmaceutical Services Act, which allows the government to lower prices of all generic drugs in the province. Health ministers

Secure our future Editor: It’s not what you’re opposed to, but what you are in support of. As a small Economy, that is dependent on open trade, our future is going to be bleak if we don’t take steps to secure our future. We are avoiding this debate by being against everything in the way of new economic development. We cannot maintain our standard of living without developing some new infrastructure projects. This is the lifeblood of our economy. We cannot redistribute wealth if we don’t create it, first. All new projects must be developed on merit and the public including First Nations must be included in the decision, but we

should not give up our quality of life and allow it to decline for future generations. Let’s not talk about what we are against. That’s easy to do. Let’s get serious about what we want the future to look like and what we want to stand for. We have to create new economic activities to give our young people hope for the future and to sustain the social programs that we cherish. If the New Prosperity project is environmentally responsible, then it should be supported, as it will pave the way for the future. G.W. [Bill] Carruthers, Share the Cariboo-Chilcotin Resources Society

across Canada are also working together to adopt a national competitive bidding process for more internationally comparable prices. As for age-friendly Communities, our government just announced $500,000 in additional funding for 2013 to support seniors at the recent Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention. This program offers local governments grants up to $20,000 to create environments for seniors to be active and healthy. I encourage local governments to apply to UBCM for a grant. As a senior I know, appreciate and respect the many contributions they have made and continue to provide to our province. Ralph Sultan Minister of State for Seniors

CETA agreement poses threat to municipal governments Editor: The Williams Lake Chapter of the Council of Canadians concerns itself with issues important to all Canadians. They assist in the campaign to uncover the damage to the democratic process by the robo-calls in the last federal election. They help with information campaigns about pipelines. They advocate for improved health care. The chapter is active examining mining injustices. They work to find out about secret free trade agreements by the federal government. Perhaps the most important one for many

members is the concern about water security for all Canadians. Fracking is a process which is accused of abusing water resources that belong to every British Columbian. The Williams Lake chapter wrote a letter to the premier of B.C. expressing concerns about hydraulic fracturing and the vast amount of our water resource used in the process. Clark responded indicating she shared the concern and said she would refer the letter to four of her ministers. At the same time, the chapter wrote a letter to the mayor and

council of Williams Lake about the chapter’s concerns with CETA (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the European Union). The chapter is convinced that this secret agreement, which has never been debated in the House of Commons, poses a serious threat to municipal governments. It has since been followed by another dangerous deal with China. Stuart Trew of the Council of Canadians said: “Resistance to CETA has been strongest in the areas of municipal procurement, pharmaceutical policy reforms, copyright, and proposals to in-

clude an investor-to-state dispute settlement process similar to the one that currently exists in NAFTA. These extreme investor rights have already cost us $157 million in penalties or settlements with U.S. investors, the largest being the $130 million settlement in 2010 with AbitibiBowater. The company didn’t think it was fair that the Newfoundland government would take back the water and timber rights — which rightfully belonged to the province — and launched a claim against the Canadian government.

To date, more than 50 municipal governments, school boards and associations have passed resolutions about CETA, most of them asking to be excluded from procurement rules in the deal that will reduce economic policy options for local governments, to the benefit of large multinational firms.” Mayor and council have not responded to our letter. City staff have not acknowledged receipt of the letter. John Dressler Williams Lake Chapter Council of Canadians

Coralee Oakes wins Liberal nomination for Cariboo North Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Coralee Oakes is throwing her name in the polital ring as the candidate for the B.C. Liberals Cariboo North. Before the nomination meeting that occurred Nov. 7 in Quesnel, Oakes told the Tribune she believes this is the most critical election of our time. “It will most certainly determine how we as a region diversifies,” she said. “ Many local businesses are starting to benefit from our growing mining sector and mining is as important to our future as it was the purpose for our initial existence. “Our forest sector is changing and it is becoming an energy producer and a manufacturing producer. These provide good paying jobs for families and it helps us pay for all of the services we have grown accustomed to.” A two-term city councillor and executive director of the Quesnel and District Chamber of Commerce since 1999, Oakes was born and raised in Quesnel. Her family moved to Moose Heights in 1933. The two main things that are driving her de-

Coralee Oakes is the new Liberal candidate for Cariboo North. sire to enter politics are the experience her family went through after her grandfather experienced a fall, and the financial stability of the province. “When you look at the health care system and some of the stresses we’re going to have in the future, it made me realize we need to figure out something that works better,” Oakes explained. When she thinks

about the next generation, and the burden they will have with increased health care costs and all of the other rising inflationary costs, deficits and taxes, she said the province needs a party that is disciplined and committed to not pile additional debt on to future generations. “Every dollar we add to the debt will balloon into a significant cost to the next generation. Past experience has demon-

strated how destructive four years of a different government can be for our economy. “This concerns me. I also want to ensure that we have the best possible education system grounded in excellence and preparing our children for the global economy of the future. Jobs are critical to maintaining our quality of life.” Oakes is past president of the British Columbia Chamber executive and has served as a director on the BC Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Chamber of Commerce executive, Cariboo Chilcotin Tourism Association and numerous local not-for- profit organizations. In 2009 she was the recipient of the BC Chamber of Commerce Executive of the Year award and was the recipient of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association award of contribution. Oakes said she knows her opponent Cariboo North Independent MLA Bob Simpson well. “We sat down before I put my name forward and I told him I’m hoping we’ll be able to elevate debate. I think what’s a win for all of us in this region is that election times are a good

time to get some muchneeded exposure,” Oakes said, adding she wants people to know what opportunities exist in the region. For example, she added, Quesnel has outgrown its trade facility at the College of New Caledonia, even after a expansion last year. “Look at all the activity that Williams Lake has right now with mining activity in the region. At least it’s diversifying our economy. Even the announcement of the new planer mill for West Fraser. I’m seeing a level of confidence come back to the communities,” Oakes said, adding there are many challenges too. With the fibre supply, there will be challenges, but the region needs to be attracting investment and championing what opportunities exist, she suggested. Oakes was the only candidate and said she had hoped the nomination meeting could have taken place in Williams Lake. “I will certainly be doing something in Williams Lake in the near future and I will be down there, roads permitting, for Remembrance Day laying a wreath on behalf of the province.”

Mack qualifies for Red Bull Crashed Ice nationals Photo submitted

Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer They say three times is a charm. And for Williams Lake’s Trevor Mack, he hopes that’s certainly true. The 20-year-old film student, currently attending Capilano University in Vancouver, qualified with the fastest time in B.C. recently at the provincial Red Bull Crashed Ice qualifier in Richmond. Red Bull Crashed Ice blends ice hockey, downhill skating and bordercross with competitors skating down a 535-metre ice track taking jumps and bumps along the way. The effort puts Mack among the top 168 athletes in the country invited to attend the Red Bull Crashed Ice nationals Nov. 28 to Dec. 2 in Niagra Falls, Ont. The top 64 competitors from that event go on to the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championships in Quebec City in March. This year will be Mack’s third appearance at the Red Bull Crashed Ice nationals and one he hopes will be his best yet. Last year Mack finished 96th at the world championships. “The event in Niagra Falls is going to be exactly like Quebec City but it’s a whole new track in a whole new city they’ve never had Crashed Ice in,” Mack said. “I definitely want to be in the top 64 to make it to Quebec City.” The top 32 racers at nationals are then slated to square off on live TV. The final round of racing will also be streamed online at www.redbullcrashedice.ca. Mack’s time during qualifying was 22.47 seconds — slightly faster than last year’s

Williams Lake’s Trevor Mack, 20, recently qualified as the fastest Britsh Columbian at a recent Red Bull Crashed Ice qualifying event in Richmond. He now moves on to the Red Bull Crashed Ice nationals in Niagra Falls from Nov. 28 to Dec. 2.

time of 22.64 seconds. He said 170 people were in Richmond for qualifying. “You get two attempts,” he said. “Both of my runs would have put me in first.” In preparation Mack said he plays hockey once a week and runs when he has time. “I’m going to be stepping it up a bit more as Niagra Falls comes closer,” he added. Mack’s interest was peaked by the sport before he was old enough to even compete, he said. “My hockey team watched it on TV a long time ago and everybody bugged me about trying out but I was too young,” he said. “The moment I turned 18 I kind of just got lucky and won the lottery to try out.” Mack has posted a video on YouTube of his Richmond qualifying run in October which can be viewed at http://www. youtube.com/watch ?v=vgLM1bto39E.

Williams Lake’s Jacinta Sampson (third from left) and Ciyathia Adams (second from right) are currently taking part in the Peace and Dignity Journey 2012 from Alaska to Guatemala. This photo was taken in Mazahuacan, Mexico.

Locals run for peace and dignity Two Williams Lake residents are currently treking across the U.S. and Central America as part of a run for peace and dignity. Ciyathia Adams (Canoe Creek) and Jacinta Sampson (Esket) are part of a journey called Peace and Dignity Journey 2012 — Water, running from Alaska to Tikal National Park in Guatemala. The run began May 1 and will finish Nov. 28 in Guatemala. Every four years PDJ participants run for different causes.

To celebrate Denisiqi Services Society and Nadine Adams, Ciyathia’s mom, are hosting a fundraising Indian taco fundraiser (chilli, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese on bannock) lunch this Friday, Nov. 9, from 12 to 1:30 p.m. “Come and learn about Peace and Dignity Journey and support our Williams Lake community members, Ciyathia and Jacinta,” Nadine said.

PDJ strives to bring sacred staves to as many communities as possible as a way to bring communities closer together, Nadine said. “The runners must abide by strict guidelines be alcohol and drug free, run a minimal 20 miles a day, participate in daily ceremonies and also in ceremonies the host communities facilitate,” Nadine said.

The runners also pray in their individual traditional customs or religious beliefs. While the northern PDJ participants began in Alaska a southern PDJ group started in Argentina on April. 4 and will meet with the northern group on Nov. 28. Everyone is welcome to attend Friday’s fundraiser, Nadine said. Denisiqi Services Society is located at 240B Mackenzie Ave. For more information contact Nadine at 250-398-0335.

City receives annual BC Hydro rebate for $141,332 Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The city of Williams Lake received a letter from BC Hydro, dated

Oct. 23, indicating it will receive a $141,332.58 grant which represents one per cent of revenues from electricity sales within the city for

the year ending Mar. 31, 2012. Annually BC Hydro is authorized by an Order-In-Council to pay these grants to municipalities.

“It’s not something new for the city, just something new for the agenda,” Mayor Kerry Cook said. The city receives simi-

lar rebates from Fortis, Telus and Shaw Cable. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor noted if two zeros are added to the grant from BC Hydro, it shows

how much money is leaving the community just to one utility company. “That’s a good economic indicator we can

monitor,” Rathor said. The grant amount has been moving up slightly over the years, Cook said, adding it was $134,000 for 2011.

Painter captures rock spirits of Becher’s Prairie Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune Jean Wellburn is known for a lot of things in the Cariboo Chilcotin where she has made her home since 1968. She is known for her music as a classical harp player and more recently for her ukulele prowess, and she is known as a Scout Island Nature Centre naturalist and preschool educator, but few people know her as a painter. This month Jean’s collection of paintings of Riske Creek erratic is being featured on the main floor of the Station House Gallery. Meet Jean as she reveals a side of herself splashed with rich colour and emotion, heralding one of the great landforms of the Chilcotin. When you emerge from the Fraser River gorge up Sheep Creek Hill, one of your first impressions of the Chilcotin Plateau, is the landscape of Becher’s Prairie strewn with erratic boulders deposited by glacial activity millennia ago. With her pallet and brush, Jean Wellburn introduces you to these rock personalities like they were familiar friends. “I’ve always been a painter,” she explains, “but this is the first time I’ve concentrated on a series of paintings on one topic.” She has been drawing the erratics of Becher’s Prairie for years, but this is the first time she has dedicated the time to work on bigger canvasses with such a singular focus. She has spent close to two years putting this show together. “Becher’s Prairie has always been a very special place in our family,” Jean told the Station House audience at the Nov. 1 opening of her show. “The lovely kettle lakes and moraines are timeless, intimate and beautiful. It’s our own Stonehenge, magical and beautiful.” She said her family members jokingly refer to the erratics of Becher’s Prairie as “Mom’s rocks.” “My friend Charlie Wyse has names for all the rocks too,” she continued. “So they are Charlie’s rocks too.” Jean says when her daughter, Jane, was four years old she asked if rocks were people. “I asked Jane what she thought, and she answered yes.” Jean’s show, powerful and colourful, encourages the viewer to embrace the spiritual quality of rocks. “The rocks on Becher’s Prairie came from the Coast Mountain Range many miles away,” she stated. “It’s a wonderful process. The rocks are silent witnesses to ancient traditions on planet Earth.” To add ambience to her show,

Jean Wellburn talks about her paintings of Becher’s Prairie with Betty McLennan during the opening of her show These Rocks Want To Tell Me Their Story at the Station House Gallery, Thursday, Nov. 1. The paintings were inspired by the grasslands of Becher’s Prairie and Rock Lake on the basalt plateau just west of Williams Lake and will be in the gallery until Nov. 24.

The opening of the show was a happy time of reunion for sisters Joan Beck (left), Jean Wellburn, and Barbara Ruddell.

Lorie Wilson (left) and Krista Liebe admire the work of Quesnel painter Christa Krisman which is on display this month in the upper gallery at the Station House. Jean’s brother-in-law, Bruce Ruddell, of Victoria, composed background music to view the paintings

by. He titles his hour-long composition Rock Music for the Erratics. “I tried to capture the weight of the

erratics and the light Jean portrays them in,” says Ruddell, who journeyed to Williams Lake with his wife Barbara for the opening. In the Upper Gallery, Quesnel painter, Christa Krisman has several paintings of abstract realism. “My travels in Europe and Canada for many years have influenced my painting style,” she says. “Many memories of amazing places and cities in Europe and the stunning beauty of Canada are reflected in my work.” She is inspired by structures or interesting shapes of trees, rocks or buildings. She says she approaches each painting spontaneously with an intuitive sense of what she wants to accomplish. “Following my feelings and emotions, I incorporate squares, lines or circles to develop dynamic movement. To achieve texture I apply layers of paint or use different mediums.” Though she sometimes uses oils, she prefers acrylic ala prima applied and mixed with big brushes and palette knives applied directly to the canvas. “My abstract painting style employs compositional elements to bridge realism with imaginary passages.” Krisman, born in the Bavarian region of Germany near Munich, started painting at a young age and incorporated her artistic skills in her profession as an interior decorator and in the upholstery trade. She immigrated to Canada in 2000 and retired to Quesnel in 2008 where she started painting full time as an artist.

Madchild at the OV Friday night Juno Award winning hip hop artist Shane Bunting a.k.a. Madchild from the Vancouver group Swollen Members is scheduled to perform at the Ramada, Overlander Pub in Williams Lake this Friday, Nov. 9 Bunting is touring with his debut solo album Dope Sick which debuted at number 2 on the Canadian charts. Not only is the album a story of triumph over adversity, but it has allowed Bunting to be reborn creatively, says James Wright of Kerosene Media. Dope Sick was inspired by Buntings battle with addiction to the drug oxycontin, a synthetic substance similar to heroin and offers fans an open look at the cold realities of drug abuse. Unshackled from the chains of his past indiscretions, he has confronted his darkest demons and used them as a source of inspiration to create one of the most insanely captivating hip-hop albums of 2012, says Wright.

Madchild Shane Bunting of the former Swollen Members will be at the OV Saturday.

Bunting’s drug addiction had spiralled out of control and destroyed everything he had worked so hard to build with his platinum selling hip-hop group Swollen Members. The fancy cars, lav-

ish houses and rock star luxuries were all gone, as his addiction had consumed over $3 million dollars worth of assets and finances in just over four years. His left arm was completely numb, his lips had turned purple, and he was standing on death’s doorstep as his body finally gave up from four-and-a-half straight years of opiate abuse. His family panicked and immediately rushed him to emergency room in a race against the clock. After successfully battling for his life that night, Bunting had finally hit rock bottom. “It’s the hardest thing I ever did in my life,” Bunting says of that first night in detox. “There are no words to describe the torture you go through. It is very painful.” Throughout the next year, as he struggled to take back his life from prescription pills, Bunting discovered his personal sanctuary in the arms of his music.

Clean from drugs for the first time in his adult life, Bunting says he had to walk away from his formal social life in order to save his own life. With support of his parents, brother and girlfriend and three dogs, Bunting started work in his home studio secluded from the outside world. For the next 10 months he feverishly wrote and recorded his first-ever solo album Dope Sick. The album shows Bunting back on the top of his game tackling everything from his addiction and his recent ban from the United States, to the current state of hip-hop. Bunting says he is enjoying life today as it should be lived, drug free and with a clear mind. “There will be bad days too but that is just life,” Bunting says. “You will not be able to tell me any situation where a drug addict will have a happy ending if you stay on drugs.”

Council of Canadians honours Marilyn Baptiste The Council of Canadians recently honoured two First Nations women for their environmental bravery, recognizing both women as activists of the year. Xeni Gwet’in Chief Marilyn Baptiste was honoured for her continued opposition to the New Prosperity gold-copper mine proposed to be developed in Tsilhqot’in Territory she calls home. Baptiste’s story is one of

many stories included in Diana French’s new book Extraordinary Women, Vol. 2, Women of Brave Mettle, More stories from the Cariboo Chilcotin. In French’s book Baptiste explains that the people of Xeni Gwet’in live close to the land and rely on the natural resources. As chief, her goal is to keep both the land and the culture intact for future generations. “It’s an inherited duty and

Frank made waves this year by putting her body on the line at a blockade, attempting to end the practise of fracking on her reserve. She was jailed but the charges were later dropped.

Folk singer Craig Cardiff in concert at Limelight Juno nominated Canadian folk singer/songwriter Craig Cardiff will be in concert Friday evening at the Limelight Theatre on Oliver Street. Cardiff will be performing with special guest and local songwriter Oren Barter. Armed with sardonic sincerity and polished awkwardness, Cardiff’s performances are described as a mix of story and song. Cardiff’s 2012 album Floods and Fires received a Juno Award nomination for Roots and Traditional Album Of The Year: Solo (2012) Cardiff has released 11 albums in 10 years. Originally from Waterloo, Ontario, Cardiff’s voice has been described as ‘warm, scratched, sad and sleepy’ and his songs as landscapes that expose the human condition, putting magnifying glasses to the clumsier and less proud moments, according to one biogra-

Irish music and dance in lakecity Friday LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune There will be rollicking fiddle music, dancing and singing in St. John Lutheran church on Friday this week, when the Sky Family Celtic Revival arrives in Williams Lake to perform a unique and entertaining concert. ‘The Gospel in Blazing Irish Dance and Fiddles’ is put on by the Sky Family from Prince Edward Island. Tom, father in the group, explained that the concert has an Irish ‘Riverdance’ feel to it, is high-energy and fastpaced and is a blend of Celtic and maritime fiddle music. The family group is made up of four men and one woman. “Joel plays fiddle, saxophone and Irish whistle, Seth plays bass guitar, Gabriel is the lead dancer and plays guitar and Irish whistle and Miriam sings and plays piano,” Tom said. “Everyone sings and dances.” He said the family has been immersed in music for years, and that they got into dance at the PEI College of Piping. Lifelong musicians, the family holds Celtic music very dear to their hearts. The mix of Celtic and gospel that the Sky family brings to the stage is a natural fit, according to Tom. “We are all believers, and when we saw a Celtic fiddle band, we loved the medium and thought it would be a wonderful tool for the gospel,” he explained. “It has been proven: it’s

They will have the opportunity to explore the joy and the music that we may see in heaven.” The concert will be at St. John Lutheran Church at 377 Hodgson Road at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 9.

“They call the Cariboo home” Remembering those who serve with pride LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune Cariboo resident Doug White served in the First Battalion Royal Highland Regiment of the Black Watch. Living in Scotland at the time, he had his carpentry apprenticeship for one week when he was drafted into the military at age 20. White joined the Methihill Pipe Band in 1946 at 16 years of age. This village pipe band was supported by coal miners who put aside a few pennies a week from their pay cheques. He said that serving in the military was a family tradition. “My grandfather was killed in World War I at 28 years old, my dad served in World War II and my brother and I both served with the occupational troops in Germany,” he said. He took his military training at Ft. George near Inverness, Scotland and served in Berlin for just over a year before joining his battalion’s military pipe band. “I was one of the guards at Spandau Prison, where seven officers high up in Hitler’s command, including Rudolph Hess, were imprisoned. Each of the four military powers, Russian, British, American and French, served a month guarding the prison in rotation,” he said. “Some of those officers only got 10 years. Hess, who was acquainted with the Duke of Hamilton, came to par-

He nearly ran out of fuel and crashed the plane, suffering a broken leg. A farm hand with a pitchfork found him and turned him in. He was sent to England and never got out of jail. I heard he hung himself in prison at the age of 93.” When he joined Black Watch pipe band in the military, he described the experience as “very focused.” The Black Watch First Battalion went to Korea shortly after their picture was taken in 1952. Some of them were killed and some were severely wounded in battle, including the pipe major. “The last thing you heard at night was the pipes playing Lights Out and the first thing you heard in the morning was the tune to rouse

Pipers played for meal calls, “guard on” and “guard off,” and at the officers’ mess. These tunes were played by a single piper — all of us non-NCOs all took turns. “We also played as a band every day. We did Highland Dance

for physical fitness: we were all expected to learn how.” He explained that after 15 months in Berlin he went to a post near Hamburg for the rest of his term, returning to Scotland then to London to be de-militarized. Shortly after that he came to Canada. Doug White and his grandson, Brock Everett sang at the Williams

Lake Pipe Band Celtic Ceilidh last weekend. “I didn’t know my grandfather because he lost his life in the war. My grandson is lucky because he has a grandfather in his life,” White said. He said that it’s important to remember Canadians who left home and laid down their lives. “It was exactly the same in Scotland. I knew fellows who got married two weeks before they

were killed. “You join and you serve for love of your country and for pride in your country. “So many British immigrants to Canada left to go back and fight because it needed to be done. They just went and did it. “We need to remember and we need to have pride,” he said. “If our country is good enough to live in, it’s good enough to fight for.”
