B.C. GRAND CHIEF SPEAKS TO COUNCIL

A 16-year-old female pedestrian was examined for non-life threatening injuries at Cariboo Memorial Hospital after being struck by a vehicle while walking across the crosswalk at Third Avenue North and Cameron Street in Williams Lake around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning, Dec. 4. RCMP attended the scene and said a follow-up investigation determined that an adult male driver, who was starting from a stopped position at a stop sign on Cameron Street, turned onto Third Avenue and struck the female pedestrian in the crosswalk. The male driver has been charged under the Motor Vehicle Act for failing to yield, the RCMP said.

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip (speaker) of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, Xeni Gwetin Chief Marilyn Baptiste and Tlet’inqox Chief Joe Alphonse voiced opposition to the New Prosperity Mine project at Tuesday evening’s city council meeting.

Tsilhqot’in oppose New Prosperity Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer It was standing room only at Williams Lake city hall chambers Tuesday evening when a delegation of Tsilhqot’in chiefs voiced their nation’s opposition to the New Prosperity Mine Proposal. Approximately 200 people joined the chiefs, including local Shuswap and Carrier chiefs, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip and Chief Bob Chamberlin from the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, First Nations people of all ages from various communities, and members of the Council of Canadians Williams Lake Chapter and Fish Lake Alliance. “The Tsilhqot’in position on New Prosperity has not changed as everyone is aware,” said Chief Marilyn Baptiste, Xeni Gwetin (Nemiah Valley). “We come today because we were not consulted successfully by city council during the last process. Yes we have met recently, but that was only af-

ter the city had set forth a motion in support of New Prosperity and we don’t think that was a respectful process.” The city’s motion stated the city’s support of the project, but also specified that support “provided that provincial and federal environmental standards are met and affected First Nations are adequately consulted.” Bapiste pointed out that last week’s request by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s panel that Taseko address deficiencies in its approach to assess the cumulative environmental effects of the project does not support city council’s motion. “One of the things we would like to ask is that city council not present before the upcoming panel, if there should be indeed a panel hearing. The other option, perhaps is only putting forth on conditions that the Tsilhqot’in Nation supports,” Baptiste said. Phillip thanked mayor and council for allowing the delega-

tion to present to council. “We’re here once again to register the unity and solidarity with respect to the Union of BC Indian Chiefs who represent 113 First Nations in the province of B.C. Our organization continues to grow in support. We are very proud to stand here tonight with our many brothers and sisters from many parts of the province to once again declare very clearly by formal resolution that we support the Tsilhqot’in in their struggle against the New Prosperity mine proposal, much as we did with the original proposal brought forth by Taseko,” Phillip said. Phillip reminded that last time he spoke with city council during the hearing process for the first Prosperity mine, he shared that in Penticton after a decade of conflict, the band signed a protocol agreement with the city of Penticton. “It was worth the investment and I hope the next time I come that you’re going to tell me that

it’s a fait de complet here,” Phillip said. Chief Joe Alphonse told council the numbers of people in the delegation proved that he and Baptiste are not the only ones opposed to the mine. “I think as a community as a whole we need to work together, respect one another and move forward together. That’s why we’re here,” Alphonse said. However, he added people should not be surprised that First Nations are going to stand up for themselves. Economics are something everyone wishes for Alphonse added, noting his community is appreciative of Gibraltar and Mt. Polley mines as major employers in the region. He said First Nations are actively involved with mining exploration projects in the Chilcotin — Colorado’s Red Sky project near Red Stone the Amarc Resources Newton project. See TNG Page A2

TNG: relationship needs rebuilding Continued From Page A1 “The most hurtful thing that came out as a community in the last go around was the divide in the relationship. Now I feel we have to rebuild the relationship because that has to happen. We’re a community here and we have to move forward, and now we have round two [panel hearings],” he added. It’s routine for Mayor Kerry Cook to open city council meetings by acknowledging Williams Lake is on traditional Shuswap territory, but this time Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Anne Louie did the honours. Mining issues, not only in the Cariboo Chilcotin, but in many other areas in other countries result in aboriginal people all over the world fighting for their rights, Louie said. “I have said it repeatedly to those that come to our table to talk mining that money is not everything. This is what the companies see as the almighty dollar. First for our people are the land and water. “They are our livelihood. No one can survive without these two. Therefore whenever First Nations stand up to large corporations they are not only fighting for their rights, but the rights of all who reside in those areas,” Louie said, adding the protection of wildlife is paramount. Cook thanked the delegation and said forging strong relationships with First Nations is a priority of council. “We have a lot of work to do to work with

each and every one of you to move forward. This was a very interesting council meeting. I thank the drummers and all of our special guests,” she said. Independent MLA Cariboo North Bob Simpson attended the meeting and said Wednesday he hopes city council sees clearly that there are a large number of First Nations people opposed to the project and that council rethinks who its strategic partners are. “Taseko could come and go, but the Tsilqoht’in are not going away. The future of our region is going to be more and more dependent on proactive relations with our First Nations,” Simpson said. Taseko needs to rethink its strategy at this time, he added. “Its continued arrogance towards First Nations and the First Nations claim against the proposed project doesn’t serve them well corporately or in respect of advancing the project,” Simpson said. “I think the province of B.C. owns part of that. I hope that a representative of the Crown sits Taseko down and asks them to back off until the Crown actually sits with the TNG and says, ‘OK, what is the framework we need in this area that respects the Williams case and traditional First Nations rights and title.” It would provide a framework for mineral exploration and continued forestry, he said, adding “that’s a crown obligation, that’s not Taseko’s obligation. That’s missing as well.”

City council questions trustees on Initial Options Report Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Possible school closures in 2013 are only the tip of the iceberg as School District 27 looks to trim its budget over the next four years. Speaking to city council Tuesday evening, Superintendent Mark Thiessen said declining student numbers and reduced funding of approximately $900,000 a year by the Ministry of Education until 2016, is forcing the school board to make some tough decisions. “We may only be at the beginning of looking at lots of ways to continue to cut spending in our district. The board knowing it has to make up a shortfall began a planning process late last winter and began bringing its plan — Initial Options Report— forward to the public in September,” Thiessen said. Potential plans for Williams Lake include proposed closures of Kwaleen, Glendale and Wildwood elementary schools and the recon-

figuration of the two high schools into one high school grades 7-12 with two campuses. No decisions have been made yet, he emphasized. The board will not make its final decisions until likely Jan. 22. “In order to fund schools properly, you need more student numbers and more enrolment in buildings,” Thiessen said. Capacity is a big one. “If a district wants funding for new schools or projects, the ministry has to see that you are using the schools in your school district as well as you possibly can. If we have half empty buildings that we’re using and we go to the ministry and say we need a new school or would like to put a big renovation on a school, they won’t give us the time of day.” By closing three schools, students will go to other schools and fill the remaining schools to a 93 per cent capacity. Thiessen was joined by trustees Sheila Boehm, Jackie Austin

School District 27 Superintendent Mark Thiessen and school board chair Doug Neufeld and trustees Jackie Austin and Sheila Boehm spoke to city council Tuesday evening about proposed reconfiguration of local schools.

and Doug Neufeld, who represent the Williams Lake schools. Neufeld said School District 27 is one of the richest funded districts per student because of its higher rate of vulnerable students and was under a funding protection program until now. Coun. Sue Zacharias said the report makes sense because of the economic challenges, however, admitted she was worried at

first about the grades 7 -12 configuration and wasn’t sure what she thinks about it. “The loss of any school, particularly in the smaller bedroom communities, is tough. I have children and nieces and nephews that went to Wildwood school through the late 70s and early 80s and the school population was in the hundreds then and now there are 32. “I support a lot of

the ideas that are in the report and know that change is inevitable. We have to be caring abut the community and how it impacts everybody,” Zacharias said. Echoing Zacharias, Coun. Geoff Bourdon said the only thing he’s heard serious opposition to is the grades 7-12 configuration and he wondered if the board had researched that grade scenario in other communities.

Neufeld said it’s not an uncommon configuration in North America. “There is no true best configuration in education and there is no one configuration that has the best academic outcomes. Something that is recurrent in the literature is the minimized transitions. In our community we have some vulnerable students and we’re probably one of the most vulnerable districts in the province,”

Neufeld said. The First Nations graduation percentage two years ago was 37 per cent and the overall graduation per cent is 67 per cent, he added. “As we went into it we were very mindful to only have one transition for those kids. If you have a transition at grade 9/10 it can be an exit point for students.” See PUBLIC Page A4

Citizens group pushes for responsible government in B.C. Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Their wish list includes a responsible free enterprise government that’s taking good care of its finances, a reinforced balanced budget law, and less regulation, said Jim Shepard of Concerned Citizens for British Columbia (CC4BC). As a former chief executive officer for Finning and Canfor, operating in B.C. and Alberta, Shepard said he experienced a difference. In his dealings with the ministries in Alberta, their basic point with regulations was to make people safe and respon-

sible, but they wanted investment and investors to be successful. “In British Columbia there are rules and regulations and the fundamental attitude is what are you trying to get away with? That’s the difference,” Shepard said. “That’s something we’re going to be impressing on the B.C. Liberals that we’ve got to get away from that.” When it comes to reinforced balanced budget laws, Shepard said government penalizes cabinet ministers $6,000 off their take-home pay if they run a deficit. “We want that expanded so there’s a penalty paid by

Jim Shepard, Concerned Citizens for British Columbia toured Williams Lake Nov. 27. every member of government caucus if they run a deficit,” Shepard said.

“We are standing for a full regulation audit for government in Victoria. That regulation audit

would be a needs test. We’re calling for every regulation to be challenged,” Shepard said, adding the group wants to know if there is a need for a regulation, why? “Make every regulation justify its existence because right now it looks like regulations are becoming a source of work for bureaucrats and in the process frustrating the citizens of this province.” It’s a theme he’s hearing everywhere he goes in the province. “We think the BC Liberals can do better with regulations and they certainly can do better with taxes. We’re not happy

that they raised the corporate tax rate by one per cent to balance the budget next year,” Shepard said. Concerned Citizens for British Columbia is not a political party or a charity, but are activists, he explained. “We’ve worked hard to build a prosperous economy in this province and we want to see it continue. People aren’t talking about shortages of jobs, they’re talking about shortages of workers.” Back in the 90s, he recalled, there was a shortage of jobs and many people left the province looking for work.

His group will also insist on more job training and programs that tie the training to keeping people to work in those communities. Starting Jan. 15, CC4BC will launch a four-month campaign pressing for their wish list. Shepard was in Williams Lake last week. He spoke at the Rotary Club of Williams Lake luncheon and met with individuals from various industry and business. He said he called the lakecity home for five years when he worked with Finning as a civil engineer, from 1975 1980.

Public concerns taken seriously by board “We have heard from the public that they are really worried about the grade 7-12 configuration and we are taking that very seriously. We will have to accommodate that and make sure the Grade 7s are treated like Grade 7s and we have an appropriate program in place” Neufeld said. Configurations don’t matter as much as making sure transitions are done in a healthy way and that good teachers and programs are in place, Thiessen added. On Dec. 11, the board will be presented with all of the feedback gathered to date regarding the Initial Options report. “All the input we’ve had will be summarized and presented at that meeting and from there we will have three open board meetings where we as a board will debate and talk about rationale, make recommendations or changes,” said Austin. Two of those meetings will take place in Williams Lake and one in 100 Mile House. The public will not be

able to comment during the meeting, but the policy, introduced in September, allows for 30 minutes at the beginning of the meeting for members of the public to comment on agenda items, and 30 minutes at the end of the meeting to comment on anything that is not on the agenda, Austin said.

Mayor Kerry Cook said many people have contacted her office with concerns about the proposed closures and reconfiguration. “My real question is future growth and potential. If something were to change would we be prepared?” she asked. Neufeld said the

board’s job is to “educate the kids we have now, not those who might come in the future. We can’t jeopardize what we have now to set aside for the future. We can plan for growth, and if those kids materialize then we can be in a position to ask for a new school, but only if that happens.”

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

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

DON’Ts

DOs

Don’t put your carts on the street the night before your collection day. The cart’s subject to vandalism.

Have the garbage/recycling cart at the curb before 7:00 am. Take the garbage/recycling cart off the curb the same day as it is collected.

Don’t put the garbage/recycling carts any closer together than 1 meter.

Put shredded paper in a bag. Loose paper may escape when tipping the cart.

Don’t leave your cart on the curb. This interferes with snow removal or street cleaning.

Record the serial number on the side of your cart to identify your cart from your neighbours.

Don’t put your cart any closer than 2 meters from any obstruction such as vehicles or landscaping.

Ensure the lid of the cart is fully closed. Partially opened lids will not be picked up. Clean all recyclables before putting them in the recycling container.

Don’t take the carts when you move. The carts belong to that address, NOT TO YOU.

Avoid putting organic material, such as grass clippings, branches, or garden waste, in the solid waste cart. These items only add unnecessary weight to the solid waste stream and increase the costs for every resident in Williams Lake. This material can be brought to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station on Frizzi Road and dropped off free of charge. The only items that are permitted go into the curb side recycling cart are: 1. Paper products – office paper, magazines, newspapers. 2. Cardboard – corrugated cardboard and regular cardboard such as a cereal box. 3. Plastics – must have the recycling symbol on it and the number inside the symbol must be 1 through 7. No Styrofoam allowed. 4. Metal food cans – food or beverage containers. Note: all above mentioned products must be clean. Other recyclable material, such as glass, lead acid batteries, or propane bottles that cannot be put in the curb side recycling cart can be dropped off at the Central Cariboo Transfer Station. Even more recyclable items can be brought to several locations in Williams Lake that participate in the product stewardship program. A list of these companies can be found at the Encorp website (http://www.encorp.ca/cfm/), the Encorp toll free number 1-800-330-9767, or by calling the BC Recycling Hotline at 1-800-667-4321. Any questions can be directed to City Hall at 250-392-2311.

Looking forward to challenges

MLAs should be fired too

ouncil and staff have been busy with the budget process over the last few weeks. We will be presenting our provisional budget on Dec. 18, which is way ahead of past years. We believe this is one more step in improving the process. We still have some tough decisions to make, but we are ahead of the game. One of the From the impacts Mayor’s on our Chair 2 0 1 3 budget Kerry Cook is the recent loss of the Creekside mill. This represents a loss of $3.5 million in assessment. The loss of assessment doesn’t automatically mean a loss of tax revenue, as it depends on tax rates and distribution. Definitely another challenge that we face. If I’ve run into you lately, you may have noticed some purple in my hair. This is part of the Purple Ribbon Campaign to raise awareness about the need to end violence against women in our community. Education and awareness around this subject are so important if we ever want to break the cycle. Council brought forward a number of additional crime initiatives Tuesday night, which include bringing back the Court Watch program, setting up meetings with the provincial and federal Ministers of Justice and Crown Counsels, developing a harm reduction strategy for weapons, and limiting vehicle access to the Dairy Fields. We also have a second Boitanio Park safety meeting scheduled in December. Community safety remains a top priority and this Council remains committed to finding and implementing solutions. A big thank you to the Kiwanis Club for their contribution of $20,000 toward upgrades in Kiwanis Park. We appreciate your support! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Time to get on with it While we’d like to think that somehow, somewhere sanity can prevail and the National Hockey League owners and players can settle on a new contract, reality says otherwise. At this point, it’s not a stretch to say the 2012-13 regular season is over, that it will be cancelled. At the very least, those fans still interested should now move on with their lives, and perhaps wait to see here in Kelowna if any players start showing up at the food bank. While that is unlikely, for those not currently playing in Europe, missing an entire season’s salary is going to hurt. And for owners, their franchises remaining financially stagnant is not a positive situation, either. Think of the situation involving the Nashville Predators, as the club had to cut a cheque for a $13 million bonus payment to defenceman Shea Weber, as bonuses are not impacted by the current lockout. The TSN and Sportsnet hockey pundits are trying to

hard to keep hockey fans interested in the progress of the NHL talks, but really they are only trying to justify the importance of their own jobs, because nobody cares. Been there, done that, heard it all before. The last NHL work stoppage was supposed to be the strike to end all strikes. But the general managers and agents found ways to get away the efforts of the last contract deal won by owners to control salary costs. So commissioner Gary Bettman is back again at the bargaining table trying to do the impossible, find a solution that won’t give an advantage to rich owners over the smaller market franchises. And for that he has become the most hated man in hockey these days. Ultimately, from the beginning of this lockout, there has been a big pot of money sitting on the table, and the NHL owners and players can’t agree on how to split it up. Sadly, for that it appears we have kissed off an entire NHL season. - Kelowna Capital News

here is nothing more hypocritical than a politician who espouses fiscal prudence, preaches the evils of deficits and debt, and votes year over year for budgets with massive deficits. That’s what the BC Liberals have done this entire term: they have preached fiscal discipline, all the while requiring every one of their MLAs to vote “Yea” to successive budgets with huge deficits that grew the MLA provincial debt Musings by over Bob Simpson $15 billion in just three years. The BC NDP will be no better. They too will force their MLAs to vote for deficit budgets because they don’t have the courage of their convictions to raise enough government revenue to be able to deliver on their promises to fix BC’s struggling health care, education, and social services systems. The ability to deficit finance without penalty is what allows provincial and federal politicians to reduce our taxes in order to buy our votes, while lying to us about being able to deliver quality public services. What if individual MLAs were fired if they voted for deficit budgets? Ludicrous, you say? Tell that to school trustees who get fired by the education minister if they try to present a deficit budget because they refuse to close schools and want the province to cover the real costs of delivering quality education to our children. Tell that to local government representatives who are bound by law to balance their budgets every year, and who don’t enjoy the luxury of federal and provincial politicians who can repeal their balanced budget “law” when it suits their interests. Until individual MLAs (and MPs) are forced to answer for voting for deficit financing, we’ll never have the difficult and necessary conversation about balancing our expectations for government with our willingness to pay. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Now is the time to voice opinions Editor: Everyone has an opinion! Everyone has a right to an opinion! Not every opinion is right! This old cowboy’s opinion! Re: Highway 20 and South Lakeside Drive. There are a lot of people living in the area who use the Highway 20/South Lakeside Drive intersection to access businesses on South Lakeside. The area from Bella Coola to Likely and Horsefly is about 400 miles long. From 100 Mile House to Quesnel the area is about 115 miles wide. All shoppers going to Canadian Tire, the Real Canadian Wholesale Club, Prosperity

Ridge and Wal-Mart, and all other businesses, must travel through the Highway 20/South Lakeside Drive intersection. Only way in, only way out. If this situation is not remedied soon South Lakeside residents will be backed up in traffic jams morning and evening, every day, 365 days a year; possibly all day long. Now is the time to voice your opinion. The City of Williams Lake is planning to spend more money on South Lakeside Drive, a waste of tax payers money. I cannot comprehend the city’s determination to continue with plans on South Lakeside Drive, when the city knows Joe Fetters Jr. has ap-

proximately 30 to 40 lots to develop, Pioneer has 250 to 350 residential lots, plus more land to develop. There could be three times more commercial traffic than we now have. Plus there are more empty lots to be developed in city limits on south Lakeside, plus future higher density apartments, townhouses etc. Please, could someone from the city explain to this old cowboy what I am missing? I would like to know how you figure on making South Lakeside Drive better, safer, faster, etc. Peter V. Epp Sr. Williams Lake

Robo-calls, secret negotiations leaving Canadian democracy in jeopardy Editor: The Council of Canadians in Ottawa has an initiative called Democracy 24/7. The 7 refers to the seven ridings in the last federal election that were decided by such a narrow margin that election interfering could have decided their outcome. The Supreme Court of Canada will hear the case on Dec. 10, 2012. The case was brought forward by the Council of Canadians

www.wltribune.com A7

because Elections Canada said they did not have the resources to investigate such broad scale abuse. Recently Elections Canada appointed a special investigator. Mr. Dickson has found some evidence in 56 ridings that robo-calls were used to misdirect voters. Hopefully this issue will be resolved before the next federal election, or Canadian citizens might be compelled to ask for UN observers for the voting process.

I would ask that our MP Dick Harris respond to this letter. Dec. 10 is the same date that our prime minister has set for the finalization of FIPA (Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement). What is FIPA? A huge trade deal with China negotiated in secret from the Canadian public. What has happened to Canadian democracy? John Dressler Williams Lake Chapter Council of Canadians

I’ll be happy enjoying home-grown beef The more we learn, the less we know, certainly. Recent research has decided that eating red meat can be part of a healthy diet. Meat is, in fact, the main source of protein (plus iron/vitamin B-12) in all of the world’s affluent countries except Japan (Ferris Jabr/ Scientific American). Meat-eating played a vital role in our evolution from primates to humans. Scientists (Brazil) indicate

Letters aLways weLcome

Cattle Fodder Liz Twan that a strictly vegan diet could not have created the large brains we now possess; a vegan-only diet would have required nine hours per-day of eating — just to consume enough calories to

support body-mass. Evolutionary biologists believe that hunting game and eating cooked meat altered our anatomy significantly. Recent study suggests that the process, not the red meat itself that is the culprit; researchers (Harvard) found only a minor increase in the risk of death or disease from eating unprocessed red meat. The key word is, unprocessed. A cut of red meat (beef, pork) that has been processed

contains (in general) four times more sodium and 50 per cent more preservatives than the unaltered version. Many of us have long-realized that processed food of any kind (cheese, etc.) is not as good for us as fresh and altered our dietary intake accordingly. The study-teams noted that self-reported surveys have limitations that can skew results; warning that evaluation of overall health based on meat consumption alone does por-

tray a totally accurate picture as other (poor) dietary choices/ personal behaviours must be factored in. “A shotgun approach telling people to avoid all red meats may not be the biggest bang for your buck,” says Dariush Mozaffarian, an epidemiologist at Harvard University. Not all meats are the same. We have choices.” Good news! I choose to enjoy my home-grown unprocessed beef.

Cariboots ‘n Blades glides into lakecity Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex will be transformed into an ice dancing palace on the weekend as 16 young men and women from the Williams Lake Skating Club host multiple clubs from around the province. The event, the Cariboots ‘n Blades figure skating competition, is the club’s 28th annual meet and goes from Friday, Dec. 7 to Sunday, Dec. 9. “We have 175 young men and women skating in 380 events,” said Margie Henley, president of the WLSC, adding clubs from Kamloops, Armstrong, Lillooet, Quesnel, Prince George, Dawson Creek, Kitimat and more will be attending. The skating gets underway Friday afternoon at 3:45 p.m. and continues until around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, the competition starts in the morning and finishes at 8 p.m. Sunday, skating wraps up around 3:45 p.m. Henley said this year the club decided to do a gingerbread theme for the event. “We are going to have some raffle tickets for gingerbread houses donated by a club member to help us fundraise,” Henley said. “And we did a work bee in November where all the kids made all the decorations. “It’s going to look really nice come Friday.” Skaters at the competition will range in age from about five all the way up to 18 competing in various programs and events. Joanne Macnair, coach of the WLSC, said the club will also have a number of new skaters competing in their very first meets. “Six of our skaters are brand new first timers out,” Macnair said. “And in the freeskating divisions the younger or newer skaters get an assessment of bronze, silver and gold instead of a placing so it’s more of a self assessment.” The club’s skaters will compete in freeskating, interpretive, an elements competition and specific skills events throughout the weekend. The club’s senior skaters recently returned from the Jingle Blades skating competition in White Rock late November join-

In the Pre-Juvenile Under 11 division Amanda Lane took 10th out of 18, while Dawn Henley, in the Senior Bronze Women’s division, claimed gold. Macnair said the meet was a good opportunity for the club’s skaters to test out their routines and set goals for upcoming competitions. “I think the senior skaters — they obviously want to place well — but they’re always looking at their scores, and always looking to improve their total points or just maybe land a jump they didn’t land the last time,” she said. “I’m very pleased with them all.”

sports Grapplers medal at first tournament Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Wrestling Club has hit the mat for its 2013/14 season, recently attending the Prince George Secondary School Icebreaker Tournament. Sonia Conrod, president and head coach of the Williams Lake Wrestling Club, said the tournament was a great opportunity for the club’s more experienced grapplers to shake off some mat rust, and also a tough test for the club’s newer members. “The tournament is similar to zones and provincials where athletes are pooled grades 8 to 12,” Sonia said. “Our first-year students had intense matches — Grade 8s taking on veterans — and did very well. It’s a sign of what’s to come in the season.” Team captain Kerry Normand injured his shoulder early but still managed to take fourth in the 90-kilogram class. First-year grappler Peter Fayowski, also competing in his first tournament, won a bronze medal in the 110-kg class. Veteran Braden Conrod, starting his eighth year with the WLWC,

had a clean sweep in the 54-kg weight class to win the gold medal. Third-year wrestler Kara Pare lost her first match but battled her way to three consecutive wins to also win gold in the 57-kg weight class. Grade 8 Haleigh Stubtich, competing in a tough division battling former provincial medalists, just missed the podium taking fought in the 51-kg class. Mikaela Lemon, also in Grade 8, took bronze. Danielle Schultz also had some tough competition , missing the podium by one point, despite injuring her elbow. Sonia added the club has recruited a great group of coaches and student coaches to volunteer their time with the club this season. Coaches include Sonia, Jeremy Thompson, Stuart Campbell, Jodi Scheer and Guy Lemon. Keenan Taylor, a nationally certified official, and Phil Johnson, a nationals coach from the 100 Mile House Wrestling Club, will also be making appearances to help the club during the season. Helping out with the club’s elementary programs are Braden, Makaela Haller and Pare.

B-ball teams hit the hardwood Greg Sabatino photo

Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake high school girls basketball teams got their first taste of action on the weekend hosting the Panago Columneetza Classic Junior Girls Basketball Tournament. Quesnel’s Correlieu Clan and Vanderhoof’s Nechako Valley Viqueens, with both a junior and a grade 9 team, joined the Williams Lake Thunder and the Columneetza Cougars Friday and Saturday at Columneetza secondary to round out the five-team round robin draw. The Viqueens finished the tournament first and second, respectively, while both Williams Lake high schools held their own. The Cougars wrapped up their tournament in third following a two-win, two-loss record. The Cougars beat the Thunder 39-30 in a close contest and later capitalized on a second-quarter comeback to edge the Clan 41-36. High scorer for Columneetza against the Nechako Valley grade 9s was Ariel Zacharius, with seven. Carly Magnuson and the Williams Lake Thunder’s Emma Pfleiderer dropped 10 a piece in the meeting between the two schools to lead all scorers. Cougars players Kaylee Billyboy and Inderroop Randhawa also potted nine in the win. Panago

Dr. J.D. Neufeld Player of the Game was Williams Lake secondary’s Skye Forcier. Zacharius scored 10 and Billyboy added eight — also being named Panago Player of the Game — against the Clan. Columneetza coach Brigette Peel said the team’s two losses, a 37-29 defeat to the Nechako Valley grade 9s and a 47-31 loss to the Nechako Valley juniors, will help the team set goals for the rest of the season. “The season is very early and this gave us an idea of where we

can set our goals,” Peel said. “The girls are still trying to figure out each other and the strengths of the team so every opportunity to play will help.” The Thunder began their tournament with a 49-24 loss to Nechako Valley’s tough junior squad, dropped a close 29-12 contest to the Clan and fell 52-15 to the Viqueen’s grade 9s. Thunder players Emma and Laura Pfleiderer were both recognized with Panago Player of the Game honours. Peel added everyone in the tournament

Engines rev for Horsepower Hooligans LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune A new car club has made its presence known in Williams Lake, with members revved and ready to participate in more community events in 2013. The Horsepower Hooligans Williams Lake Car Club became a reality in May 2012 and has already participated in one unique community event and organized another. When they were only a few weeks old, the brand new club put wheels to the road in the Cariboo GM Soapbox Derby on June 22. Horsepower Hooligan member John-Paul Albinati built a custom soapbox car for a family friend living with Muscular Dystrophy, 11-year-old Westen Becker. “The car, made from a wheelbarrow, turned out great and Westen won a trophy for the coolest car,” John-Paul said. “He had not seen the car until he showed up for the race—we built it as a surprise for him. It belongs to him now. We also entered him in the A&W Cruise show.” This club is made up of Bonnie and Norman Prest, Kyle Giesbrecht, Jay McKeoun, Renee and John-Paul Albinati, Bryan Riding, Ed Gerbracht and Anya Paloposki. Renee said that what sets them apart and identifies them is that they are a community-minded and family-oriented group of friends. The nine-member club plans to co-sponsor the soapbox derby race with Cariboo GM in 2013, and look forward to being the pit crew and to building another car for another kid. They also organized and held a swap meet in September at the Stampede Grounds. They sold

Renee said that this club started out as a bunch of friends getting together to socialize with their families and work on each other’s vehicles or go for a cruise. “This is a way to introduce our kids, and even our grandkids, to the ‘hot rod culture,’” she explained. “This is a way to keep that culture alive.” “Racing is loud, noisy and visceral: you hear it, smell it, see it

and feel it,” John-Paul explained, “and what kid doesn’t like a smoke show?” He said that at a car show you see a lot of cars and vehicles you can’t touch, adding that that’s another thing that makes Horsepower Hooligans unique. “We’re very hands-on in the club, and we actually drive our cars. When we have our hot rods in the community I’ll let any kid to climb in and have a look,” he said. “Some guys brought a mud bogger to the swap meet and let the kids climb in and check it

out.” Renee describes the group as “us and our kids,” and said that her daughter will drive a hot rod in the grad parade next year. The club is also planning to get involved with community events next year that include the Relay for Life and Bowl for Kids. Sponsors for the Hooligans to date are Blacky’s Car Wash, Rick Giesbrecht at Downtown Service, Rod Froberg at Cariboo Street Rods and Dave Skarra.

A Christmas Romance next up for film club Tuesday Krista Liebe Special to The Tribune Once again the Williams Lake Film Club offers a special movie for the whole family for the Christmas Season. A Christmas Romance will be shown at the Gibraltar Room on Tuesday, Dec. 11, at 7 p.m. With a title like A Christmas Romance, you might expect a simple piece of fluff. But this film really does offer more. Yes, it is a romance in a way, but it is clever, witty and funny. Real people are portrayed here and it is a heartwarming experience, something we do not see that often anymore. Critics do not particularly like it, people call it a Holiday Classic. Julia Stonecypher, played by Olivia Newton-John, is a young widow with two daughters. Times are tough for her and she is struggling to keep up financially. She has just lost her job

Eye Health Matters YOUR CHILD’S FIRST EYE EXAM Every parent wants their child to be healthy. Regular Optometric eye examinations are recommended to ensure that your child’s eyes are healthy and that their visual system is functioning and developing properly. During your child’s examination, their eyes will be thoroughly evaluated to make sure that they are aligned correctly, that the eye muscles function properly, that they focus accurately and that they are healthy from front to back. Children’s eyes can be examined at any age. They do not need to know their letters or even be able to speak yet! Learning to see Did you know that children have to “learn” how to see? A child’s eyes are in continual state of development from birth through the early childhood years. Every shape, texture, colour and movement a child sees affects the development of their visual system. In order for a child to develop good vision, each of their eyes must receive a clear image. This will ensure that proper connections are formed between the eyes and the brain.

The earlier the better Many of these conditions would not be noticed by the parent or child because the child can see well with one eye. If identified in the early stages, they can be treated to prevent or reverse amblyopia.

Lazy Eye There are many different things that can stand in the way of proper vision development. This can lead to a condition called amblyopia or lazy eye. This happens when one eye does not develop proper connections with the brain. Over time, the brain begins to ignore the image from the lazy eye. This can result in permanently reduced vision in one eye that is not correctable with glasses. Depth perception is also greatly affected in these situations as both eyes are not working together. Conditions that can lead to amblyopia are crossed or turned eyes (strabismus), large or unequal refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism) or physical obstruction (congenital cataracts).

Learning to use ‘owl eyes’ at Scout Island Nature Centre LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune Kindergarten and preschool students are enjoying hands-on fun with nature at Scout Island Nature Centre, learning about the winter habits of birds and animals through the Little Explorers Connecting Kids with Nature program. The unique program is divided between free play for kids, and designed and directed activities. Scout Island educator Mary Forbes explained that one of the beliefs at Little Explorers is that when a child asks a question, you don’t always answer them—you ask them a question instead. “The kids learn about using their ‘owl eyes,’ their ‘deer ears’ and their ‘coyote nose’ when they’re in nature, encouraging them to be alert and use their senses,” she said. On the first day of this innovative program, which is the result of a partnership between the Kiwanis Club and Success by 6, 44 kindergarten students from Cataline Elementary School arrived at Scout Island.

After an initial meeting with the whole group, where they talked about things like safety and ‘nature manners.’ the kids divided into two groups with Mary Forbes and Julianne Trellenberg for a walk in the woods. Trained in naturalist education, Forbes has been teaching three years at Scout Island and describes herself as “an interpreter between the natural world and our cultural sensitivities.” She explained it’s always great to have parents along with their kids. “We love getting parents involved. There is no standing around: parents are totally engaged so that they can see how simple it is to connect with their kids outside,” she said. The kids went for a walk in the wintery wilderness, stopping to talk about where animals go in the winter, what they do and how they survive. They looked at seeds and berries—things that sustain birds and animals in the winter months, and noticed nests, tracks and more. The program at

Scout Island has three stages—the current session about adapting for winter, a winter session about ‘who’s still here’ and a final session in the spring. Some schools are registered to do all three. Forbes said that it’s always encouraging to see parents volunteer on site with their kids’ classes. “I want the parents to learn that it is simple and enjoyable to spend time with their kids outside— easier than ‘plugging into a wall’ and better for everyone. My best wish for kids is that they lose their fear of nature. A lot of children focus on

dangers and they disassociate themselves,” she noted. “Getting familiar makes all the difference. I didn’t grow up spending much time in nature. I was afraid of animals and I want to help other kids lose that fear.” She said that research says that kids who spend time in nature have better retention and their understanding of deeper concepts is stronger. “Being in nature also reduces stress and builds confidence,” she added. Despite the chilly temperature and the icy crust of snow on the ground,

the kids were enthusiastic and excited. “There is no excuse for not getting outside with your kids all year round—it’s amazing,” she said. “Scout Island is special for so many people and perfect for inspiring kids. There is no such thing as too young for Scout Island. Looking for your own answers is the best part of the journey.”

Dowsing was Henry’s greatest passion — Henry Hicks 1920 – 2012 — Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune When I moved to Williams Lake from the Chilcotin in 2001 to work as a staff reporter for the Williams Lake Tribune, one of the more colourful characters I encountered in my human interest news beat was Henry Hicks of Likely. At that time Henry was a newly minted octogenarian with the spryness and tenacity of a man half his age. He and his wife, Rose, kept Likely clean. For a dozen years they supplied the nearby forestry campsites with firewood and hauled the garbage to the dump. They emptied the Highways garbage barrels around Likely, and in winter cleaned the snow off highway signs and dug them out of the snow.

Henry Hicks Henry and Rose were historians and established the Quesnel Forks Museum and Historical Society. The museum was in the front entrance to their home, which was the last house on the road

www.wltribune.com A21

leaving Likely for Quesnel Forks. Perhaps Henry’s greatest passion was dowsing. He handed out shiny gold-coloured business cards advertising his services, claiming the ability

to not only find water but precious minerals as well. One miner in the throes of gold fever once hired Henry equipped with his dowsing sticks to fly around with him over his mineral claim. During my years at the Tribune, Henry and Rose would often stop by and take me out to their favourite Chinese restaurant for lunch and Henry would tell me stories. He told of his years as a pilot during the Second World War, and about his adventures afterwards during the 1960s flying contraband into South America. He described landing on cow pasture airstrips at night, getting shot at, and racking up his plane on barbed wire fencing. On another flying mission in the arctic,

Henry told of capturing musk-ox calves to be transported to Vermont for an experimental cross breeding program with cattle. There was never a dull moment in my meetings with Henry. One day he stopped by the office saying he read of a water shortage at a trailer park in Glendale, and wanted me to photograph him riding down Mackenzie Avenue on the hood of his car with his dowsing sticks ablazing. I got the photo, did the story, but have no idea if he ever found the water source he was seeking. On November 26 Henry Hicks passed away in Cariboo Memorial Hospital, 10 days after his 92nd birthday. Donations can be made in Henry’s memory to helpfilladream. com.

“They call the Cariboo home” Sarah Hanet carries on Cariboo tradition on Maranatha stage LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune The curtains are going up tonight on one of the Cariboo’s most beloved holiday traditions. Lead female in the Maranatha Players musical Peter Panic is Grade 12 student Sarah Hanet, who has lived in Williams Lake all her life and who has been on stage for a Maranatha production every year since she started school. The high school students in this lively, modern musical have been hard at work on the project since school started in September, and are eagerly anticipating opening tonight, Dec. 6. Sarah has one of the lead parts in Peter Panic. She is playing the part of Pam Dawkins—a teen who is the director of the drama club in her high school. Pam comes from a home with a hard-working single mom and is a go-getter, working hard to keep the drama club running. Participating in Maranatha musicals is a family tradition in the Hanet household. Sarah’s two older sisters also took part in theatre with the Maranatha Players before they graduated: Emma is in a musical in Grande Prairie next weekend and Meghan is in theatre school in Alberta. “You couldn’t do this without support from your parents,” Sarah said. “My parents drive me to all the practices, help me run lines; my mom runs the lights and is the producer and my dad films the productions—they’re very involved.” She said that what she likes about ‘Pam’ is that she’s a very real character. “She is complex and has many layers, and deals with a lot of things that teens actually go through,” Hanet explained. The theatre program is great

When I was younger I would watch the older kids and learn a lot, and now it’s fun to work with the younger kids—they pick it up really fast.”

She said that Peter Panic has humour, drama, great entertainment and awesome songs. “When the audience leaves, I hope they walk away thinking that God has gifted us with abilities, and also with the willingness to share with our community.” Another seasoned actor is

male lead Rudy Klaue, who is in Grade 11. He plays football star Lance Tinkerton, a character he describes as “sure of himself, confident and arrogant.” This is the 10th play Rudy has done throughout his school years. He said that he’s been singing on stage in musicals since he was in Grade four, but that ‘Peter Panic’ represents his first solo. He added that all students wanting to take part in Peter Panic auditioned during the first week of school in September. “You pick a monologue and memorize it, you pick a song and sing it and you complete an essay,” he noted. Rudy said that sports are a real interest for him, especially competitive judo, but that he enjoys taking part in the school musicals. “Being in a play is a great experience—it gives me things in common with other people and there are a lot of inside jokes.” Director Becky Strickland

said that Peter Panic is different than other productions the school has done. “It’s based in modern times, for one thing, and it has a more serious vein running through it,” she said. “The music and choreography is different, too.” Strickland added that a couple of extra people stepped in to help with the choreography, and that the kids added some of their own vocal harmonies to enrich the sound. “The emotions in this play run a huge gamut—from happiness to complete loss and despair, and it’s up to the actors to convey this,” she explained. “This has been a great stretch for them.” This production is teens playing teens in a high school setting, facing challenges that all high students face, and other challenges besides. There are the jocks and the geeks, the misfits, the ‘goths’ and the ‘eager keeners’--kids with braces and problems and the need to belong. It touches on the age-old conflict between arts and sports when it comes to diminishing dollars. It includes a unique application of cranberry juice, romance between economists, a spatula substitue and a football star exploring his ‘ Tinkerbell’ side. The quality and pure entertainment of the show does not disappoint—these musicals are a tradition for Williams Lake that people of all ages enjoy. “This is way to showcase dedicated and talented young people in the community,” says producer Val Hanet. “It’s more than talent: it’s the willingness to work hard at a group project and to share with your community.” Peter Panic plays Dec. 6-8 and 13-14 at 7 p.m. and on Dec. 15 at 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets are available at Wise Owl Toys.
