POPPY PIN SALES HELP VETERANS IN NEED Photo submitted
The Legion’s annual poppy campaign is in full swing leading up to Remembrance Day this Nov. 11. Here Mayor Kerry Cook receives the first poppy from Royal Canadian Legion Cariboo Zone Commander Vivian MacNeil. The purpose of poppy funds is to provide assistance to veteran women and men in need. This may include food, shelter or medical attention for veterans and their families. Other uses include bursaries for children and grandchildren of veterans, low-rental housing and care facilities for elderly or disabled persons and their dependents, community medical appliances and medical research, day care centres, meals-on-wheels, transportation and related services for veterans, their dependants and the aged.
The B.C. government has declared Nov. 1-7, “Crime Prevention Week” and Justice Minister and Attorney General Shirley Bond is encouraging British Columbians to stand up against crime in neighbourhoods throughout the province. CPW is an opportunity for families, schools, businesses and neighbourhoods to work together to create safer streets in communities. It is also a chance to acknowledge the many dedicated British Columbians who make significant contributions to crime prevention and community safety. One of the highlights of the week is the Ministry of Justice Community Safety and Crime Prevention Awards that will be handed out today. The awards honour citizens who have demonstrated how commitment, perseverance and innovation in crime prevention can build safe communities.v

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The City of Williams Lake and the Williams Lake Indian Band announced Nov. 2 that a Community Forest Agreement (CFA) application has been submitted to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. If approved, the CFA will be for an initial term of 25 years, with provisions that it can be replaced, the city said in a press release. The agreement will allow the partners to jointly harvest 40,000m3 (or approximately 800 logging truck loads) of timber annually from two areas. A south block, the Flat Rock Block, is located west of the City, north of Highway 20 between Esler subdivision and overlooks the Fraser River, measuring 5,927 hectares. A north block, the Potato Mountain Block, is east of Williams Lake. Spanning 22,912 ha, the block covers an area between the Likely and Horsefly Roads from Potato Mountain eastward and to Beaver Valley in the north. “The city and the band under-
stand that people living near the community forest are interested in the management of the forest and the benefits derived from it,” the press release noted. The application includes several ways of sharing those benefits: the creation of a community council will provide opportunities to gather input on the goals and activities of management for the community forest area, work will be available to local individuals and companies through a contract tendering process, the community forest will purchase goods and services (e.g. search and rescue, firefighting, community hall rental) from communities and the creation of a community fund to support grants to community groups and projects. Under the agreement, the city and band will be responsible for sustainably managing the forest resources within the two blocks, including timber, water, recreation, wildlife habitat, range and cultural values; and for accommodating the interests of resource users such as ranchers, guide outfitters, trappers and water licensees.
Once the application is approved, the partners will begin preparing a Forest Stewardship Plan for public review and comment. “Submitting this application is quite an achievement. Over the past few years, we have been able to build a strong relationship with Chief Ann Louie and the Williams Lake Indian Band around our mutual interest in community forestry. We look forward to this application being approved and getting to work,” Williams Lake mayor Kerry Cook said. Chief Ann Louie of the Williams Lake Indian Band said the band is pleased to partner with the city of Williams Lake. “We look forward to managing the community forest sustainably and with respect for the spiritual and cultural values that are important to band members. While the community forest will provide benefits today, we will not lose sight that it is very important to future generations.” In May 2011, Steve Thomson, minister of forests, lands and natural resource operations, extended an invitation to apply for
a (CFA) to the City of Williams Lake and the Williams Lake Indian Band. Responding to the draft application, community members from Big Lake, Miocene and Horsefly passed a resolution during a town hall meeting facilitated by Cariboo North Independent MLA Bob Simpson on Oct. 24 in Big Lake. Joan Sorley, director for Area F of the Cariboo Regional District, said the resolution was to write a letter to Thomson asking first for more substantial benefits to the communities and secondly for a win-win situation for everyone involved. “We’ve always wanted to support the CFA, but want more benefits for the communities. Is there an opportunity for the communities of Big Lake, Miocene and Horsefly to have this block for ourselves and give another block to the city and the band?” Sorely said, adding the communities have always understood the area is Williams Lake Indian Band traditional territory.

CMH lab assistants Albert Pineda (left) and Chylo Morgan-Reis (right) with client Cory Syme Nov. 3, the first day of the new Saturday lab hours.
CMH lab hours extended Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer For people living outside of Williams Lake or those who work during the week, or are on shift-work, extended hours at the hospital lab will come as good news. On Nov. 3, Cariboo Memorial Hospital began its Saturday morning clinic. The lab will now be open from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Saturdays, unless it falls on a statutory holiday. “This is going to enhance the outpatient services because it offers the weekend option. Clients who have
trouble accessing the lab during the Monday to Friday hours,” said Carol McIntyre, professional practice leader laboratory at CMH. McIntyre encouraged regular outpatients to utilize the Monday to Friday lab openings to leave Saturdays for the clients that really need the services on then. While the Saturday lab will be able to do blood and urine collections, there are some incidents if a patient has tests ordered that have to be flown or shipped to Vancouver immediately, the lab will not be able to help
those clients on the Saturday. The hospital recently hired more lab assistants which allowed the hospital to provide more outpatient service. With the new recruits there are nine positions for lab assistants. “We’re not expecting to see an increased volume in clients. Instead we’ll be spreading it out over six days, rather than five,” McIntyre explained, adding the hospital is excited about the increased service. The lab staff is thrilled, she said.
Employees will rotate, taking turns working on Saturday. On the first day of the new hours, there was a steady stream of clients. “As people find out about the service they will access it and it was clients directly involved with providing feedback that led us to expand to Saturdays. The physicians were also involved,” McIntyre explained. Two months ago the hospital in 100 Mile House extended its lab to Saturdays, however, it took a few months to hire, train and orient new staff for CMH.

Bear spray used A customer was bear sprayed in the parking lot at the Overlander Beer and Wine store on Lakeview Crescent at 7:25 p.m. Oct. 30. Members of the Williams Lake RCMP attended and secured the scene. The victim said that he had bought a case of beer, and as soon as he got back into his car, two native males approached him.
One of the males tried to punch him in the face, however, the victim kicked at him at which time one of the male perpetrators pulled out bear spray and sprayed the victim in the face. Then the male perpetrator unzipped the victim’s jacket pocket and unsuccessfully tried to take his cell phone. Emergency Health Services transported the

Free well workshop Most people living in rural areas of the Cariboo-Chilcotin trust their wells to supply them with needed water. Hidden beneath layers of soil, clay and rock, groundwater can be a mysterious resource. And as my people in the region have experienced wells go dry, wells sometimes deliver undrinkable hard water, pumps break and other
maintenance problems can arise. This month the Cariboo Regional District and the Ministry of Environment - Water Protection and Sustainability Branch are offering two free workshops for well owners. The first will take place at the Kersley Community Hall on Nov. 7 from 7 to 9 p.m. The second, relating
to the Williams Lake area will take place at the 150 Mile House Fire Hall on Nov. 8 from 7 to 9 p.m. The workshops will provide information on water supply sources, well protection, well maintenance and operation, water testing methods and interpreting results, and water treatment options.

Two trebuchets, built and donated by Germik Industries Ltd., fired off more than 100 pumpkins — the longest flying 260 feet. The estimated highest toss was higher than 60 feet. More than 100 people came by to either spectate or participate.
Cariboo Chilcotin MLA expenses released last week Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and Cariboo North Independent MLA Bob Simpson’s travel expenses for the period between April 1 and Sept. 30, 2012 were disclosed last week. Barnett’s total was
$27,732. Her capital city allowance was $6,000 for accommodation and $1,554 per diem, in-constituency travel costs were $5,790, general travel $9,098 and per diem $699, accompanying person travel for five trips was $4,389 and speaker approved travel, $201.
Simpson’s total was $25,511. His capital allowance was $6,000 and $1,554 per diem, in-constituency travel costs were $3,563, general travel was $11,561 with a $879 per diem, and accompanying travel costs for three trips was $1,955. Simpson had no speaker approved travel costs.
The province’s 85 MLAs began disclosing their travel expenses on Oct. 31, posting total amounts charged on their governmentissued credit cards but not the details of where they drove, flew or dined. Routine expenses include the “capital city allowance,” for which
most MLAs who live outside Greater Victoria claim $1,000 a month without receipts. With receipts, out-oftown MLAs can claim up to $19,000 a year for rent, mortgage or hotel accommodation while in Victoria on legislature business. MLAs are also eligible for $61 a day for
meals while in Victoria on legislature business. MLA expenses are to be posted quarterly from now on at www. leg.bc.ca/mla/remuneration/travel_expenses. htm where the first reports are posted. Cabinet minister travel expenses are reported separately on the B.C. government’s “open
government” website initiated by Premier Christy Clark. They receive similar accommodation and meal payments to other MLAs, but they are paid by their ministries and do not show up on the new disclosures. - With files from Tom Fletcher and Aaron Orlando.
The communities felt blind sided at the beginning because they had in fact asked for a community forest back in 2006 when Likely obtained one, Sorley added. Simpson agreed to
hand deliver the letter to Thomson. “I think we’ve got an opportunity to get a winwin situation if we can get the ministry to make the pie bigger,” Simpson said.
Rural communities want more from a CFA Continued From Page A1 “What they’ve always had trouble with is that the city of Williams Lake is coming into our forest and giving five
per cent of net profits. Is there an opportunity for some of the communities that are severely impacted to have some of the block to manage for themselves?” Sorley added.
A third point in the resolution noted that without consideration of the first two points, the communities could not support the CFA application in its present form. Sorely emphasized
the “door is not slammed shut,” adding the communities are not flat out contesting the application. “We’re looking to support but want to find a win-win. It was
a good meeting. There were people that were outraged at the beginning when meetings began earlier in the year that have started to think about it more openly,” Sorely said.

NEWS TRU construction program completes new home Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer It was bitter sweet. While the community gathered to celebrate the completion of the seventh home built by Thompson Rivers University (TRU) residential construction students in Williams Lake, they also honoured instructor Ken Poulsen who is retiring after 17 years with the program. Several students and their families returned for the open house, along with members of TRU and the Williams Lake Construction Association (WLCA).
“We have benefited greatly from our relationship with Ken,” WLCA president Sue Zacharias said. “Ken’s been engaged and involved with the apprenticing students and the association in creating a product that trains students and is one we can all stand behind.” Smiling Poulsen answered he wasn’t getting older it was the students who are getting younger, hence his retirement. Director of TRU, Ray Sanders, said the residential program is wonderful and could not have happened without
the partnerships that exist with the construction association and School District 27. The school district provides tools, and the construction associaiton provides all the materials and non-carpentry aspects of the home. Sanders also said the beauty of the program is that it engages students in ways no other program can. “They use their hands to apply theory and see results immediately. It’s got to be satisfying to be able to that,” Sanders said looking toward the students. “Seriously, you will have a job and
skill to take with you now.” Mayor Kerry Cook congratulated everyone on a job well done. “It’s a beautiful home. On behalf of the city I want to thank everyone involved,” Cook said. Gord Armour from SD27 said other districts have been contacting him to find out how the program has been so successful. “It’s not something that could happen in every community. We sell the home and reimburse all the contractors and then put money away for the next project, as well as into an endow-
ment fund so that we can give out scholarships each year,” Armour said. When the program first began the classes were offered at Columneetza high school in the
after hours, when regular classes had finished, but when TRU built its campus on Western Avenue, the classes were moved there. Some of the students are enrolled in high
school, but take the construction program, while other students are post secondary age. The new home is located on Tenth Avenue North and is for sale, Zacharias said.

NEWS Break-ins and vandalism keep RCMP busy Nov. 2-4 Williams Lake RCMP highlighted some of the incidents among the 80 calls for service between Nov. 2 and Nov. 4. Nov. 2 at 8:43 a.m. police received a complaint of a break and enter to a residence on Moon Avenue. The front door appeared to be forced open, drawers in two bedrooms were rummaged through, however, the only property stolen was a bottle of Crown Royal rye whiskey. Police also seized an insecure firearm. A resident on Pigeon Avenue reported at 8:50 a.m. her car was broken into on Oct. 31. Nothing was stolen or damaged, and no suspects were identified. RCMP responded to a break in at an Eleventh Avenue North resi-
dence. The front door had been broken in, a lamp and some other items were thrown on the floor on the way to the bedroom. A mattress had been shifted and jewellery boxes rifled through. The matter is still under investigation. At 1:30 p.m. while conducting a stop check on Highway 24 at 94 Mile Forest Service Road in Lone Butte, traffic members observed a firearm case in the back seat of a vehicle. The owner of the firearm had a valid hunting licence, but not a firearms license (possession/acquisition license). The firearm was seized. The matter is still under investigation. Nov. 3 Shortly after midnight, police attended Tasco Supplies Ltd.
on Mackenzie Avenue North, after receiving a report of windows being broken. A neighbour, who could hear the noise from outside of her residence, called it in. When police arrived they determined nothing was stolen and entry was not gained. The matter is still under investigation, and video surveillance footage is being studied. At 2:37 a.m. police were advised of mischief occurring in the previous 15 minutes at a residence on Borland Street. Two residents were watching TV in their respective units of the rental building when their windows exploded in. Both ran to look, but saw no one. It is unclear as to the cause of the windows breaking, although mischief
is suspected. Police were called to a Mackenzie Avenue North residence at 8:29 a.m. because a Dodge Ram truck parked at the residence had its windows smashed out overnight, sometime between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Entry was gained by smashing the middle hatch window on the rear of the cab, as well as the driver’s side window. Estimated damage is approximately $400. No suspects have been identified. A driver reported that his 1998 Dodge Dakota had been broken into on Midnight Drive, and the back driver’s side window was smashed. The vehicle was alarmed and it appeared once the alarm was set off, the vehicle was left untouched. The attempted

theft appeared to be connected to a couple of other vehicle break-ins reported over the weekend. At 2:49 a.m. police were dispatched to a complaint of a hit and run involving a pedestrian. Two males were long-boarding down South Lakeside Drive when a vehicle came down the road and clipped the arm of one of the boarders as it passed. The boarder that was hit, claimed he was fine and did not require medical attention. Both boarders were wearing dark clothing with no reflective markings of any kind. When the vehicle was later located, the driver admitted to driving by the boarders, however, stated he did not know

Nov. 4 When she noticed a deer lying in her yard after it has been chased by two local dogs, a Lynes Creek Road resident called the RCMP around 8:40 a.m. She said the
same dogs have been a problem in the past, chasing livestock. She did not know who the owner of the dogs was, but believed they lived on Lynes Creek Road. The police dispatched the deer, but were unable to catch the dogs because they had fled the vicinity. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP.

Success in crime reduction since 2008
Crime continues to be lower than in the benchmark year of 2008, despite an increase this year in a number of offences. Council received the third quarter RCMP update from Inspector Warren Brown and Safer Communities Coordinator Dave Dickson recently. Theft of vehicles, theft from vehicles and break and enters have all increased in the past four months, compared to 2011, but are still lower than in 2008, which is used as a benchmark year. “This spike has coincided with a number of prolific offenders, known for these types of crimes, who have been released from jail and are again back in our community,” says Inspector Brown. “The Williams Lake RCMP have refocused efforts from a host of other policing strategies to targeting these individuals. The RCMP will engage our community volunteers and will provide very deliberate and focused efforts to correct this recent blip. Our commitment to reducing crime and increasing public safety is unwavering.” Compared to 2008, theft of automobiles under $5,000 are down 85, thefts of trucks over $5,000 is down 74%, break and enters to business are down 64%, and calls for service are down 25%. “This temporary spike in our property crime is temporary, and does not reflect the great success the RCMP, their volunteers, the City, and the community as a whole has achieved in reducing crime,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “A handful of offenders skewing the statistics will not discourage us. It strengthens our resolve to reduce crime even further.”

Lest we forget
Give thoughts Nov. 11

P Dick Harris is upset because the NDP voted against a bill aimed at protecting war monuments. Question. Is Mr. Harris equally upset over the shabby way Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of National Defence (DND) treat ill and injured veterans of the war in Afghanistan? The government trumpets “Support Our Troops” but the support falls short for French soldiers Connection unlucky Diana French enough to be damaged in the hostilities. Some wonder if there is more concern over saving money than there is in helping those who are discharged for medical reasons. The New Veterans Charter, passed unanimously by the federal government in 2006, clawed back income support benefits for disabled veterans. A class action lawsuit launched by 4,500 vets challenged this. The government fought back (with taxpayer’s dollars of course) but last spring the federal court ruled in the veterans’ favour. Defence Minister Peter MacKay patted himself on the back for not appealing the decision. That’s the same Peter Mackay who blew $25 billion on F-35 fighter jets. In the meantime, federal Auditor General Michael Ferguson reported that the process of wading through the VA’s bureaucratic maze is extremely difficult for the vets. Shoddy record keeping adds to the problem. Last month, another group of disabled vets launched a lawsuit against a VA decision to give lump sum payments in lieu of lifetime pensions. These vets say the payouts don’t come close to meeting their needs. On Nov. 11, as we honour the heroes from past conflicts, let’s give a thought or two for the current bunch. Even those who don’t support the war in Afghanistan do support the soldiers. Government departments should treat these “new” vets decently without being forced to by the courts. No doubt Mr. Harris is doing everything he can to ensure the government acts on the AG’s recommendations ASAP. Surely the Opposition parties won’t oppose.

Our Viewpoint
Money talks Days away from the presidential election our American neighbours are finding out how much $2 billion looks like. And it’s looking a lot like a massive money-pit, championed by negative spin doctors. Comparing Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, the New York Times, has an impressive list of money raised, spent, allocated and leftover. Obama’s team, to the end of September, had raised $934M and spent $852.9M. Mitt Romney’s camp had raised $881.8M and spent $752.2M. As of Oct.17, Obama had reserves of $134.7M, while Romney sat a bit prettier (by cash flow standards) with a total of $193.3M in reserves. Overwhelming TV ads, door-knocking, mail-outs, pop-up ads, print, radio — name it and the two candidates have covered their campaign bases. And while no one can scoff at the power of advertising, the massive ad campaigns launched by both parties has turned the election into an ad campaign, rather than

This is the first year both presidential candidates agreed to opt out of a system that sets limits on how much each party can raise and spend. Had they went with the financing system of capping funding efforts, both would have been tied to a maximum of approximately $100M. But it seems both knew they would raise and spend much more. It raises concerns of outside money sources, influential big-money backers and reeks of a need for financing reform. The American people should be paying attention to the issues, the candidates and their platforms, not who had the most commercials or the best zingers. This type of over-financed, un-regulated campaigning leaves far too much room for further corruption and big money controlling our already endangered democratic system. -Quesnel Cariboo Observer

his Sunday, Nov. 11, we will take the day to remember and recognize those who have died in the line of duty, serving our country and defending its people and way of life. Nov. 11 marks the end of the First World War, which ended at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, and was, up to that point, the most costly conflict in human history. On the fields of Flanders, in France, countless MLA men and women Musings g a v e Donna Barnett t h e i r lives in the name of freedom. The battlefields where they fought and died grew covered in poppies after the end of the war, and so today we wear a red poppy to remind us of their sacrifice. Remembrance Day and the poppies we wear remind us that the freedoms we enjoy here in Canada are not free at all. Without the valiant sacrifices of those strong souls who gave their lives to protect our rights and freedom, we would not know a peace like we do today. Let us never forget the debt we owe to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country and our way of life. Those who went to war understood that Canadians’ core values and beliefs were being threatened, and we pause to reflect on their bravery in choosing to take up arms to defend them. As we live our lives, many of us tend to take for granted the freedoms that are denied to people in other parts of the world. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, and the freedom to vote are all blessings that we as Canadians are fortunate to have, and on Remembrance Day we should remember to cherish them, for they have been paid for with the ultimate price. As we remember the sacrifices made for us by selfless people we have never had the chance to meet, let us also remember to thank the many veterans that are still with us, and the men and women currently serving in the armed forces. We owe you all a debt of gratitude which words cannot express. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

MORE VIEWPOINTS Come out and cheer Why do we expect failure? for the Williams Lake Stampeders Editor
Editor: Are you missing hockey yet? I can’t personally say I am, as I’ve been out most weekends when the Central Interior Hockey League Williams Lake Stampeders have been playing, cheering them on. These are a great group of guys that love the game. Some have played minor hockey and more. They practice once a week and then organize family and work obligations so they can either play here on weekends or travel to play against other opponents. This can be difficult, juggling work and family schedules.
I know because my husband used to be a player. Now, he is a coach. The executive and volunteers do a great job and I think it is time for Williams Lake hockey fans to show up with their noise makers and cheer on our Williams Lake Stampeders. Their next game is against longtime rivals, the Quesnel Kangaroos , who travel with a great fan club to Williams Lake to cheer on their team. But I think we can do better, Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. Go Stamps Go! Lynda Philpot Williams Lake
A friendly reminder that all columns and letters represent the authors’ opinions, and do not reflect the opinion of the newspaper.
The people of Greece are protesting major cutbacks in their life style, according to Greece opposition parties, the cutbacks are really hitting pensioners and low income people especially hard. Could this happen here in Canada, I believe so. Certainly Canada is a country rich in resources and it is those resources that provide jobs and provide the necessary support for Canada’s social safety net. A Victoria gathering and a great percentage of our B.C. populace including indigenous people say they are against the Enbridge Pipe line project. In Greece, cutbacks, and in Canada being against pipelines and mines becomes a similar rallying cry. The question is, can a country sustain one without eventually losing the other. Let’s take a good look at pipe lines, how many of our homes,
A couple of weeks ago my wife Claire tripped on a broken piece of sidewalk near the Hearth Cafe and fell hard. A male pedestrian nearby was there instantly to help me to get her up. A female driver pulled over to the curb immediately. Two women appeared out of nowhere, one with a chair for her to sit on. We left hurriedly because she was bleeding and did not thank everyone properly. All concerned and generous people. Thank you.

apartment buildings, office buildings, factories, streets and highways are filled with pipelines, and how many of those pipelines fail. We do hear of accidental contact, or failure because of poor workmanship, or even the necessity to replace, as a city might, aging water lines, however, with today’s stringent standards we should expect even less failure. If very few old pipe lines fail, why do we automatically expect new pipelines to be subject to failure? For a great number of years major gas and oil pipelines have traversed the length and breadth of our province, including here, through theWilliams Lake area, which runs such a major gas pipeline. Pipeline failure mostly occurs (such as the Kinder Morgan pipe line failure in Burnaby) not because of a pipeline weakness, but because a machine came in contact with it, or the envi-
ronment near the pipeline has been subject to some changes. Both the CN and CP railroads are geared up and ready to move this crude oil should either the Enbridge or the Kinder Morgan pipeline submissions fail. So how many trains, here in B.C., have been derailed in say the last 40 years compared to how many pipelines have failed in this period. The federal government, for the economic wellbeing of the nation, may temporarily disallow the pipeline, for only as long as it takes Enbridge to resolve legitimate issues against the pipeline, underline the word legitimate. Where concerns are raised they should be based on facts, not what ifs. Alaska successively has an 800 mile pipeline across a similar environment.

and sundry as she swings up the Eastern seaboard, the beef-story has receded to the back pages. News of more interest in beef circles is the impact the continuing drought-issues in major U.S. cattle/corn/crop production-regions will have on our industry as the remainder of 2012 plays out. Purdue University Extension economist Chris Hurt, “Drought has been particularly cruel to the beef cattle industry. As brood cows remain the last
Cattle Fodder Liz Twan major livestock industry that is land extensive; when dryness leaves wide stretches of land unable to support cow grazing, producers have to buy feed or
send the cows to town.” Lower inventory numbers for U.S. -beef-cow herds will face further reduction until feed/forage supplies are restored which may take some time yet as USDA-reports indicate near about 55 per cent of the nation’s pasture/range are in poor/very poor condition. Feedlots are reporting losses (some over $200/per head) with high feed prices, small calf crops and excess capacity (in feedlots) cited as loss-factors.
Hurt predicted, calf prices will be slow to recover due to high feed prices, continuing to fall until feed prices moderate. Declines in feed costs might occur with better grazing seasons for spring/summer (2013) and a return to larger U.S. corn/ soybean crops. A more abundant feed supply (latter part of 2013) could result in a robust price recovery for calf and feeder cattle prices, encouraging beef cow expansion by late 2013.

Harlem Crowns to spread positive message Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer It’s been four years since Herb Scaife’s Fabulous Harlem Crowns basketball team laid a comically sound beating on a local men’s basketball team comprised of members of the police and the fire department. On Nov. 13 at Columneetza secondary the Oakland, CA. resident and his cast of crazy teammates will be back in the lakecity once again to challenge a local team to a game of his team’s specialty — “clown ball.” “Probably no other word in the language better describes the type of basketball we play,” Scaife said. “People coming to the game can expect some good comedy, but we do play a serious game of basketball and we just have a good time. “It’s good family entertainment. The kids enjoy it for sure and you’ll see a good show and you’ll see a good brand of basketball. We’ll
have a good message for the whole community, especially the kids.” The message is something the Crowns call Steer Clear Through Sports — and will address several issues in a way kids in the audience can understand. “It’s just giving the kids advice on how to stay away from drugs and alcohol through sports,” Scaife said. “We’ll do that at half time of our show. We stress education and we stress participating in sports — anything from golf to running to any other type of exercise.” He added the message isn’t just for kids but can also help parents understand what their children may be going through. The Harlem Crowns were founded in the 1950s by Chico Burrell, who was born in Harlem, NY. after he spent 12 years playing for the Harlem Globetrotters. After Burrell retired Scaife took over the team as manager. Scaife said the first time the Crowns came to Williams Lake

32 nd Anniversary Celebration
Ski swap the biggest yet The annual Timberland Alpine Ski Society Ski Swap Saturday was the biggest yet featuring more than 1,000 checked-in items, said TASS director Lisa Young. “We want to thank everyone who came out to support us at this year’s swap,” Young said. “A huge thanks to all our volunteers who helped customers get set up for this coming season.” The event, held in the Marie Sharpe elementary gymnasium, is an opportunity for people to drop off their used items, but also a chance to pick up downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and snowboarding gear. Also at this year’s swap were young mem-
bers of the Timberland Alpine Ski Club working a concession to help fundraise for new team jackets. “They did a great job and raised more than $200,” Young said, adding the club is looking forward to the upcoming ski season at Mt. Timothy Ski Area. “This year we’re stoked to show everyone who we are, especially when we make the podium. “It doesn’t matter how big your hill is — with great coaches like ours, our racers do quite well against teams from Sun Peaks, Silverstar and Grouse Mountain and they usually bring home some medals to prove it.”

BCRA hosts fashion show on awards night Liz Twan Tribune Staff Writer A sold-out crowd turned out for the 2012-BCRA Awards evening held on Oct. 27 in the Gibraltar Room. Also included in the content of the event were a live/silent auction and a fashion show (co-hosted/presented by Bob’s Shoes and Repair of Williams Lake and The Log House of 100 Mile House. The fashion show commentator was BCRA director, Court Smith of Williams Lake, assisted by fellow director Tim Terepocki of Kamloops. The two men generated a lot of laughs (although not all were intentional). In fact you may catch them (at some time in the coming months) brushing up on some fashionshow terminology, prior to a reengagement next year (Court and Tim are both nodding their heads in agreement). The clothes were modelled variously by store-staff and owners/ family members, BCRA executive, members, family and friends and it was all about having fun with the evening. Bob’s Shoes and Repairs generously donated an amazing array of door prizes, as well a handing out fliers printed with discount coupons (redeemable to the end of November). The Log House contributed as the winning bidders (in the live auction) of a Carey Price, autographed Montreal Canadiens hockey jersey (proceeds to the BCRA). After a hard-fought bidding battle (auctioneer-Tim Terepocki) with Bob’s Shoe Repair and Ed Gardner, of Fort St. John (and others) the jersey went home to The Log House for the sum of $1,800. Also offered in the live auctionwas a custom designed queen-size log bed frame (headboard/footboard) made and donated by the 2012 BCRA All-Around cowboy, Mike Gill of Merritt. The final bidding narrowed down to a back and forth-duel between the Wills family (Jeff/ Brenda) of Quesnel and the Manuel family (Brent/Leanne) of 150 Mile. The Manuels prevailed, shelling out $925 to own the bed. Numerous other donated items sold well in the silent auction. Even the right to be the first table to eat on the evening is determined by auction and the first table to the buffet line was led by Gus and Nita Cameron who donated $200 to eat first (once again) – so everyone knows who to sit with next year.

Diana French launches book Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Describing Williams Lake author Diana French’s newest book as a “Women of the Cariboo Chilcotin Guide for Dummies” is not a stretch. Newcomers to the region have their homework done for them and upcoming generations will be able to appreciate the amazing lives and accomplishments of their foremothers. Last month Caitlin Press issued Women of Brave Mettle, More Stories from the Cariboo Chilcotin, the second volume on “extraordinary women.” Similar to volume one, Gumption and Grit, which French wrote the forward for, the book is filled with inspiring stories of women who have helped carve the region’s history. “The point of the books has been to tell the stories of women,” French said. “You hear so much about the men. The men are men and the women are proud of it. You have the macho cowboy, logger, or miner, but people forget about the women. They are very much there and a lot of the guys would not have survived without them.” Broken down into sections, the book has placed each woman’s story under one of six categories: “Gone But Not Forgotten,” “Women of Distinction,” “Making the Mark,” “Mothers and Daughters,” “Politician’s Wives,” and “The Ladies of the Tribune.” She began gathering

Williams Lake author Diana French will launch her newest book, Women of Brave Mettle, More Stories from the Cariboo Chilcotin Nov. 9 at the Cariboo Regional District Library in Williams Lake. the stories three years ago. Part way through the project, her husband, Bob, passed away at Christmas time 2010, which she admitted “slowed her down a bit.” The book’s front cover displays three historical photos of women featured in the stories. “I didn’t pick the photos, the publisher did, but they explain quite a bit about the book,” French said.
The first one is Sonia Cornwall who came to the Cariboo in the early days in a Cadillac. The middle one is Marta Deak, originally from Hungary, settled in the Cariboo with her husband in 1979. The third one is Joan Palmanteir Gentles, strong advocate and role model for First Nations. She’s riding a steer on the rodeo circuit. “It gives you an idea of the diversity. I thought the
publisher’s choices were interesting,” French said. “I was trying to emphasize the diversity. I tend not to be gushy, but with Marilyn Baptiste, for instance, she’s done such incredible things. People really rise to the occasion.” Sitting in the board room at the Williams Lake Tribune where she worked as a reporter and editor, French credited an all-women writing workshop at the University of

British Columbia with helping her get out of the writing gear as a reporter and into a more creative mode. French said she doesn’t automatically write creatively, but has to think about it. “When you’re reporting, you’re sort of eliminating any creativity out of it, so the workshop really helped. I went to that for two summers and it was all women. It’s easier now.” She doesn’t have a particular time of day she likes to write, but writes when she has time. “I think I’ve mellowed,” she added. “I used to be more critical, harder, I think.” French said the hardest thing about writing the book was choosing which women to feature. “I just couldn’t squish any more in.” A book launch for Women of Brave Mettle takes place Nov. 9 at the Cariboo Regional District library at 7 p.m. Admission is free.

STORK REPORT A Skull in Connemara kicks off live theatre season ROSA – Brooke, Sydney, and Luca are excited to announce the birth of their baby sister, Quinn Kennedy Rosa, born on July 30, 2012 at 8:39 a.m., weighing eight pounds, one ounce and measuring 20 3/4 inches long. She was born to Michael and Tanis Rosa.
MATIESHEN – Ken and Erin, along with big brother, James, are thrilled to announce the birth of Ivy Jane Grace on Oct. 12, 2012, weighing 7 lbs. 10 oz. Heartfelt thanks are sent to Dr. Gill, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Rees and the great staff at Cariboo Memorial for their exceptional care.
In a flyspeck of a town in Ireland’s fabled West, four lonely, loveable misfits dig for the truth—and get so much more. Such is the scenario for the Studio Theatre’s first play of the new season A Skull in Connemara by Martin McDonagh, opening Wednesday evening at the Studio Theatre in Glendale elementary school. This sidesplitting yarn conjures a macabre mystery packed with merriment, mayhem, and might-be murder that is as full of twists as a shillelagh and as haunting as a whistle in a graveyard. Directed by Curt Sprickerhoff, the cast includes Michael Rawluk as Mick Dowd, Sandi Alaric as Mary-
