Under sunny skies and double digits below zero temperatures Friday around 100 people attended the third rally First Nations organized in Williams Lake to support Ontario Chief Theresa Spence and the Idle No More movement. “Chief Spence began her fast on Dec. 11 asking for the federal government to meet with First Nations about our issues and the protection of the environment,” said Nemiah Valley Chief Marilyn Baptiste. “That meeting is taking place today. I ask you to pray for her that she can keep her strength, as well for our national Chief Shawn Atleo and all of our other leaders that are meeting with Mr. Harper and our government.” Similar rallies were being held in other cities and towns in B.C, she said. Soda Creek chief Bev Sellars said her intent for attending the rally was for First Nations and non-
First Nations grandchildren. Quoting from a Cheyenne First Nation in the U.S., Sellars said “A nation is not conquered until the hearts of its women are on the ground. Then it is done, no matter how great its warriors are or how strong its weapons are.” Looking around the crowd, Sellars commented that she saw strong woman joining their brothers to fight for First Nations rights, along with the non-indigenous people who attended the rally. “We have the international community looking at the treatment of First Nations in Canada,” Sellars said. Cariboo Chilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse emphasized the importance of the rally in Williams Lake and the Idle No More movement. “I want to acknowledge the rights of indigenous people and the much broader issue that the Idle No More movement is demanding,” Wyse said. “People are saying loudly and
forcefully that they are no longer comfortable or are going to accept not being consulted, not being provided with the opportunity for their opinions or point of view to be presented to the decision makers.” The principle that governs all of Canada is being seriously challenged, Wyse added. “When you get omnibus bills like C-45 they remove all of these possibilities for discussion about the effect of development on the environment,” Wyse added. Baptiste said the Navigation and Protection Act changes in the omnibus bill will have an impact. “The last time when we won against the Prosperity Mine, the Navigation Protection Act was a part of helping us win,” she said. “Now the waters in the Chilcotin are not protected under the act. It’s about navigable waters, it’s not about protecting the waters from pollution, so people can continue to navigate in a boat, in a canoe, etc. on the waters.” The rally started in the Save-
On-More parking lot. From there participants marched past Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett’s office, city hall, and ended up inside the provincial government building on Borland Street. At the second rally held Dec. 31, 2012 Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Anne Louie encouraged people to contact their MPs. While on the road in Alberta, Prince George Cariboo MP Dick Harris told the Tribune Friday afternoon his office has not received any calls or correspondence regarding the Idle No More movement. “I’m in and out of Ottawa and my riding and I haven’t had any,” Harris said. Responding to some of the comments made at the rally in Williams Lake, Harris suggested changes to the Navigation and Protection Act will put the authority on to local governments. See MP Page A2

MP Harris responds to protest Continued From Page A1 “Up until now you had to get federal and provincial approval to build a dock. Now, rightly so, you will have to get local government approval from the regional district or the provincial authorities.” Harris said anything done on a lake, stream or river, is still open to challenge by anybody who wants to challenge it. “That right has never been taken away, just as it stood when it was under the old federal act.”
Harris also said all of the legislation in Bill C-45 was debated at length — and defeated — when the Conservatives were a minority government so he does not think it’s fair that the Opposition said there was no debate. “The NDP, Liberals and Bloc voted against it so it couldn’t go through,” Harris recalled. “What we’ve done is brought much of that legislation back, put it in an omnibus bill and we’re going to get it through, and did get it through, because we’re a majority government.” When asked if he can
appreciate the frustration being expressed by First Nations the many protests and rallies taking place in Canada right now, Harris said he wished things were different than they are for First Nations communities.
“My hope is that really good leadership rises up in these communities with people that want to get things done, and it gets done. I don’t know what the answer is,” he said. Harris will be in Williams Lake on Jan.

Seniors’ Centre funded for kitchen upgrade and courses Monica Lamb-Yorski photo
Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A $20,000 agefriendly grant for Williams Lake is taxpayer’s money returning to the seniors of Williams Lake, Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan said Wednesday when he presented the grant at the Seniors’ Activity Centre. The grant will be used to create programs or tools that address the needs of older residents in Williams Lake. A portion of the funds — $8,000 will go toward renovating the kitchen — which seniors estimate will cost $30,000 to $40,000 because it needs to be totally redone. “We need appliances, new sinks, cupboards, and flooring,” said senior Lulu Forseille. “The freezers are good. We bought some new ones.” The remainder of the funds will go toward free education programs, such as Food Safe courses for members and local farmers taught by Thompson Rivers University instructors. Sultan described Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett’s efforts to prompt Williams Lake to submit an application for a government program related

to creating age-friendly communities as “tireless, outspoken, irascible, and in-your-face.” Williams Lake was one of 27 communities receiving a grant for 2013. “This is not a government skewed program,” Sultan said. “It’s very impartial, unbiased, objective assessment of merit. “This year’s grant recipients were recognized for the importance they attached to offering a wide range of seniors’ services and for proposing measures which will make life
easier for seniors in the community.” The newly renovated kitchen will become a joint venture with the Cariboo Growers Local Food Co-op, a group of local farmers and market gardeners, who require a community kitchen. The kitchen will be available for use by the farmers and the seniors’ centre, and seniors will be mentored in food preservation and preparation. Cooking workshops called Meals to Go will be offered to teach cooking skills and will also provide enough meals for
seniors to take home for dinners for a week. Sultan took the opportunity to address elder abuse and said before he took on his role in government, he did not “really know what elder abuse was all about.” “As it turns out I’ve been on a fast education track since September and learned that it is prevalent, widespread, upsetting and painful. It’s to be prevented and discouraged as best we can, whether the abuse of older people is physical, emotional or what’s increasingly common,
financial.” He’s heard that some seniors’ children cannot wait for their parents to die so they can “get their hands on the equity in the house” or other possessions. “I think the government is scratching its head in trying to figure out what to do,” Sultan said. The age-friendly planning and project grant program is a partnership between the government of B.C. and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM). “Every day we get
government funding is a good day,” Mayor Kerry Cook said. “We first heard about this program when we were at the UBCM conference in September when MLA Donna Barnett arranged a meeting for us with Minister Sultan.” Thanking Deb Radolla, city manager of active living, who wrote the grant application with recreation co-ordinator Denise Skarra, said it is exciting to be in a partnership with the Seniors’ Activity Centre to help keep everyone active
and healthy in the city. “We came up with the idea that not only could we improve the kitchen at the Seniors Activity Centre, but we could also offer seniors some training in how to be able to age in place and stay in their homes a little bit longer,” Radolla said. Cook said Williams Lake has also received $100,000 annually for the next three years toward Better at Home programs. “We look forward to working with different groups to utilize that money.”
Rural residents asked for feedback on fringe fire agreement Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Hoping to alleviate the confusion around fire protection for fringe area residents, the Cariboo Regional District is hosting a public meeting Jan. 17 at the Gibraltar Room, starting at 5:30 p.m. “We are hoping to give residents an up-
date because obviously there was a lot of confusion going into the Christmas season about what the situation was with their fire protection so we want to make sure everybody’s clear on the facts,” chief administrative officer Janis Bell said. On Dec. 21 the CRD won a court injunc-
tion against the City of Williams Lake, that required the city to provide uninterrupted fire protection services to Williams Lake fringe area residents into 2013 for 120 days, at a rate of $129 per $100,000 of assessment. The staff and board is also seeking feedback from residents.
“Obviously the issues remains in dispute between the city and the regional district so we need to talk to the residents to get a sense of what kind of outcomes they want us to try and achieve,” Bell said. Similar to the first meeting held in the fall, the format of the meeting will include
a presentation by staff and then a question and answer period. Chair Al Richmond and some directors will be in attendance, Bell confirmed. This time around the CRD will also distribute a survey, which will be available on the CRD’s website Jan. 18. “On Wednesday
we mailed out a letter to all of the affected property owners in the fringe area and put myself and our financial officer Scott Reid as the contacts for any questions people have,” Bell explained. Residents will have a week to respond to the surveys. On the day the CRD won the court injunc-
tion ruling the city said it had at no time threatened or intended to withdraw rural fire protection services. “The city was focused on the cost of the service, not the provision of the service, and statements implying the city is withdrawing the service are wholly inaccurate and false,” the city said.

City shares snow removal procedures
Work on Display

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer After running letters to the editor complaining about snow and ice removal in the city of Williams Lake, the Tribune accepted an invitation from the city to ride along with its snow removal crew on Jan. 9. At 8 p.m., the crew was in full force. Two sidewalk machines were removing snow from sidewalks and curbs and piling it onto the street. With transformer-like moves, a grader followed behind, pushing the snow to the centre of the streets. The next evening, a dump truck would haul the piles of snow to the city snow dump at the foot of Comer Street. Kevin Goldfuss, director of municipal services, said his annual snow removal budget is $495,000. His year end is Dec. 31, so since Jan. 1 he’s been working on a provisional budget for 2013 that will have to be approved by city council later in the spring. “With that snow budget I have to do everything,” Goldfuss said. From Monday to Friday, a six person crew operates per shift to achieve all aspects of ice and snow control. The city has 12 road crew staff, five sand trucks equipped with underbelly plows, two sidewalk machines, one grader, three loaders, and one snowblower. Crews can only work in the downtown core in the evening because of traffic and when most businesses are closed. Depending on the accumulation of snow, it takes eight to 12 hours, working through the
View from inside the city’s grader during an evening of snow removal where crews cleared the downtown core.

It’s FUN! It’s FREE! It’s night, to bring all the snow to the middle of the street, Goldfuss said. The next night starting at 8 p.m. the blower, along with seven to eight trucks, seven that are contracted out, haul the snow away. Wednesday evening was the third time the downtown core had been “cleaned up” over the last three weeks. The first time was on Dec. 16. The second time was Dec. 28. “All the while that this is going on, sand trucks are keeping the streets open, sidewalk machines are going, and staff are on the ground shovelling by hand all the city stairs and different pathways the sidewalk machines can’t get to,” Goldfuss said. “Those all have to be attended to on a daily basis.” Every subdivision within the city — approximately 120 kilometres of streets and 45 to 50 kilometres of sidewalks — also need attention. It takes about 16 hours
to complete the entire city. But that’s if it’s not snowing. “What happens quite often, in a winter like this, is we just get it cleaned up and then it starts snowing,” Goldfuss said. “It can snow four to six inches overnight and people come downtown and think the city hasn’t done anything. That happened on Dec. 28 actually.” He has received calls from citizens, and recently one caller said he’d noticed a significant change in the level of service from previous years. “I told him he’s right,” Goldfuss explained. “It’s a result of the garbage cart system. Two years ago when the city adopted the garbage and recycling cart program, the garbage collection system changed.” In the past, the city would choose areas for snow and ice control in residential areas based on priorities such as hills and troubled areas. Now the city has to follow the garbage col-

lection route and tries to stay one day ahead of the route. “If your pickup is on Thursday then we need to get in there on Wednesday to clean it up so when you put out your carts Thursday morning you don’t have challenges with high accumulations of snow.” Even if it snows again, residents probably won’t see operations back in their neighbourhood un-
til the night before the next garbage pick up. “So that’s a whole week that’s gone by, but you will have seen a sand truck come through, and maybe a sidewalk machine if there are sidewalks in your area, but you won’t see the heavy machinery because they are attending to the garbage pickup route.”

Mirror mirror on the wall hides 1910 Globe newspaper Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer When retired commercial pilot Keith Mecham pulled the back out of an antique mirror he was restoring at his Pablo Creek home Jan. 11, he found a March 12, 1910 issue of The Globe Saturday Magazine. “It was in the backing of the mirror,” Mecham said. “When you turned the mirror over there was laminate on the back and it was curling and I could see just a corner of the paper.” Using a nail remover, he took off the backing and revealed what looked pretty “interesting” to him. The front cover is a black and white photograph of a woman with
holding snowshoes, titled the “Snow Shoe Girl.” It’s a picture Mecham wouldn’t mind putting in a frame, he said. Flipping through the brittle and discoloured pages, Mecham chuckled. “I like this one,” he said of the humour section. “You don’t see these anymore, these strips of comedy. Those always used to be in the papers. Cartoon characters and things like that.” The issue also included a story about the Maori, about a new pool and gymnasium for women only, a group shot of the 12th British Columbia legislature, King Edward in the British parliament, and the winning por-
trait photo of a woman, but it doesn’t include her name. The mirror is the type that has coat hangers on the top. “It was in an old building since I was a kid growing up in Bella Coola,” Mecham recalled. “It was around before I knew about.” When the building was torn down, Mecham ended up with the mirror and now that he’s retired, was planning to restore it. “The coat hangers were kind of rusty, and I thought I didn’t want to take the rust colour away, but thought maybe I’d Shellac it and clean it up. It was when I turned it over, because the back was all coming off, that I saw the paper.” Mecham brought the
paper to the Tribune because he thought someone reading the story might be interested. “I didn’t want to get rid of it,” he said. “The age for starter interested me.” The Globe was the predecessor to The Globe and Mail, founded in 1844 by Scottish immigrant, George Brown, later one of the Fathers of Confederation. Kind of fitting considering Mecham (Meekum) is of Scottish descent. “I phoned in for pizza one time. When they asked how I spell my name I said, ‘Mike Echo Charlie Hotel Alpha Mike,’ so when I picked up the pizza that’s what they had written on the pizza,” he recalled.

Snow removal stalled by parked cars Continued From Page A4 Compounding that is the city’s snow and ice control policy that dictates accumulations of five centimetres or more that are measured at the public works yard, mean crews have to remove snow from the downtown core. “Everything in the real world works good if it’s not snowing, but if it starts snowing I have to pull my crews off the residential areas and put them to work in the downtown core,” Goldfuss added. In addition there are priority areas like schools, hospitals and the fire hall, along with the road network that allows people to travel to and from work. Parking, he admitted, is secondary to having the roads cleared. Wyatt Ball, has been an equipment operator with the city for seven years. This year the snow is lasting longer, he said. “In 2011/2012, there were more melts in between.” While riding along with him in the grader, it became apparent how frustrating it can be when vehicles are parked on the city streets during winter months, especially when there is snow
on the ground that needs removal. “In residential areas I’ve had people purposely park on the street so I cannot remove the snow because they don’t want it on their boulevards,”
Ball said. “They’ll sit in the house and stare out the window at me.” As he worked on Borland Street near Laketown Furnishings, a car drove down the block toward the grader.
“If you could see us coming down the block, I would hope that you would turn and avoid us instead of driving straight toward the machinery,” Ball said, shaking his head.

Residents can help with snow clearing operations
PUBLIC MEETING Williams Lake Fringe Fire Protection
Every winter, the City of Williams Lake makes prompt and efficient snow removal a priority. During the recent snowfalls, the City has had every available piece of equipment on the streets to clear snow from roads and sidewalks.
Williams Lake Fringe Fire Protection
Under the City’s Snow and Ice Control Policy, priority is given to the downtown core, where the objective is to have snow plowed, windrowed, and trucked away between 8 and 24 hours after a snow event. Within each of the City’s five snow removal zones, there are three areas with three different levels of priority. These roads will be the first to be plowed and treated following a snow event.
Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 5:30 p.m. Gibraltar Room, Cariboo Memorial Complex Who should attend: All residents within the Williams Lake Fringe Fire Protection Boundary
Who will be presenting: CRD staff and Directors It is imperative that you attend this meeting. It may be your only chance to meet and let us know what you are prepared to pay for fire protection services, and who should deliver those services.
Residential areas will be plowed and windrowed for cleanup. This procedure will take approximately 24-96 hours to complete following the cleanup of the downtown core and will be done in conjunction with the solid waste collection route. Residents are asked to put garbage and recycling carts on the curb the morning of their collection day, not the night before, and to remove them from the curb as soon as possible following collection. Residents are also asked not to park cars overnight on City streets when there is snow. City Bylaws contain provisions to tow vehicles that interfere with snow removal operations at the owner’s expense. Snow clearing of City sidewalks, parking lot stairs, walkways and public transit bus stops may be cleaned within 8 – 24 hours after a storm where the City receives 5 centimeters of snow or more. In cases of extreme snow events, City staff assigned to other duties will be assigned to assist in snow clearing operations. Property owners are required to clear sidewalks in front of their property, and are asked to refrain from pushing snow into the street, which creates a safety issue and slows down snow clearing operations.

irst Nations are in the news with hunger strikes, Idle No More demonstrations, and the court’s recognition of Metis’ aboriginal rights. Judging from the “push back,” many people, including politicians, need a few lessons in Canadian history. Reading Tom Swanky’s Canada’s War of Extermination would be a good start. The story that bugged me was the “leaked” audit of the Attawapiskat Band’s accounts. Let me be clear. I’m all for financial French responConnection sibility. Diana French Governm e n t a n d government-funded agencies have a duty to be prudent when spending and diligent when accounting for taxpayer’s money, but audits rarely (ever?) find anyone 100 per cent pure. Although the Attawapiskat audit found no wrong-doing and included only one year under Chief Spence’s watch, it was used to discredit her and the movement. Okay, but what about the gazillion dollar boondoggles in senior governments? MP Bev Oda had the grace to resign (with a healthy pension) when caught out on extravagant spending, but Defence Minister Peter MacKay takes the cake, he not only couldn’t count how many billions of dollars the F-35 fighter plan would cost, he thought nothing of spending $5,925 to go to a Grey Cup game. Tony Clements, Treasury Board Chair, managed to divert $48 million of G-8 Summit funds to buy goodies for his riding. During his six years as BC Auditor General, John Doyle unearthed so many diddles in provincial affairs the government is getting rid of him, I guess before he finds any more. My point is, if senior governments, with all their resources (accountants, advisers, etc.) can’t keep their finances in line, why do we expect a small Band to be able to? I have a suggestion for Prime Minister Harper. Spend at least as much time working with the First Nations as you do encouraging foreign interests to take over our natural resources. It could be better economically in the long run. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.
Our Viewpoint
Claims unfortunate There’s no question that some First Nations band councils in Canada are not living up to their financial responsibilities and necessary resources aren’t getting to rank-and-file members. But what’s been unfortunate over the last few days is how some federal politicians and media suggest these situations are the norm and all First Nations bands are either in financial difficulty or using money inappropriately. Those claims are particularly troubling as the Aboriginal and Northern Development Affairs website states there are 614 First Nations bands in the country and 157 are under default management because of financial matters. Ineptness and inappropriateness aren’t limited to just one race. They can be found at all levels of government, as

demonstrated by the recent allegations of corruption in some Quebec cities. While we should all expect transparency and prudence from bands, the current situation is a blatant attempt to divert attention away from the federal government’s handling of First Nations matters. These political games are unfortunate because they may leave Canadians believing that all First Nations are using tax dollars inappropriately. The reality, according to Ottawa’s own figures, is a vast majority of bands are operating responsibly and meeting financial requirements. Ultimately, some in government and the media may want to cling to tired paternal attitudes, but that unfairly reflects the country we live in and the ability of most First Nations to govern. - Vernon Morning Star

anuary is Alzheimer Awareness Month across Canada, and so this week I would like to take some time to talk about this condition. Alzheimer’s is a degenerative disease. It causes memory loss and impairs thinking processes; symptoms of the disease often include loss of short- and long-term memory, changes in mood and behavior, a reduced ability to communicate and think clearly, and, eventually, a breakdown of immune functions. Tragically, Alzheimer’s patients typically die of this disease within seven to ten years of being diMLA agnosed. Musings It is est i m ated Donna Barnett that one out of every 11 Canadians over the age of 65 has Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. Here in our province, that comes to more than 70,000 British Columbians living with the disease. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, and it is estimated that the number of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s will more than double within a generation. In November, our government introduced new guidelines for improved dementia care, based on national, evidence-based best practices. They provide increased support for doctors, nurses, and care providers in decision-making for people with dementia, promoting person-centred care for those living with this condition.

HOME ON THE WINTER RANGE
Liz Twan photo
The setting sun late on a weekend afternoon made a beautiful backdrop for this group of black cattle, being fed and grazing on Fraser River bench lands near Dog Creek, B.C. The goodly amount of snow on the ground, and the cold temperatures this past week in the Cariboo would suggest that we are still stuck in the dead-of-winter but the daylight hours are lengthening in spite of the fact that the ever-increasing increments of extra daylight-time are almost imperceptible to many. The Williams Lake and Area Suicide/Sudden Death Committee would like to thank the following people and places for contributing to help make our Suicide Awareness event such a success: Williams Lake Tribune, Williams Lake Secondary School, SaveOn-Foods, Dollar Dollar Store, McDonalds, WalMart, Calvary Church, Troy Hale, Safeway and Luc LaPrairie. It is your generosity that helps us promote a healthier community! Thank you very much, Janice Breck (committee member) The Accessibility Advisory Committee would like to thank the businesses in Williams Lake who have been diligent in clearing snow from their sidewalks early in the day. Thanks so much, this makes it easy for those with accessibility challenges to shop in town. Deborah Radolla manager of active living I would like to say a big thank you to Reine and one other in Shoppers Drug Mart for the good deed they performed on Dec. 18.

A friend of mine lost a letter near Shoppers. Someone picked it up, took it to Reine, who then put a stamp on it and made sure it was mailed. To do this at such a busy time of year is truly special. Alva Ford Roses to the Christmas carol singers at Save-On-Foods on a busy Dec. 22 afternoon. Your beautiful harmonies brought delight and joy to some stressed shoppers. You put things into a much better Christmas spirit per-

Hoping to set a good example Editor: I feel that Restorative Justice has given me a second chance to make things right with my mistakes, and how I involved all the people I’ve hurt. I’ve been involved in a situation where I have used my actions instead of using my words and it would have affected me in the long run as a young adult because I would have minimal chances of future job opportunities and of traveling the world. I hope to set an example for other young adults and students, that violence is not a good option to solve a problem. The key is to talk about the situation. The key is to talk about it with anyone — there will always be someone who will listen and talk about it and be willing to help you solve the problem. This can be parents, siblings, friends, supporters and counsel-
lors. And I am thankful for the people who understand that I have made a mistake and am taking full responsibility for my actions. I am letting this be a lesson in my life that you can’t change all of your mistakes. There are opportunities, though, that give us a chance to fix and change it and I hope that whoever reads my apology letter helps them in a way because everyone is in this life together trying to live with the daily struggle called ‘life.’ Name withheld by request.

January is Rotary Awareness Month. So what is “Rotary”? How do you describe the organization called “Rotary”? Rotary can be defined in the following way: ”Rotary is an organization of business and professional persons united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world”. The motto of Rotary is “Service Above Self”. In addition Rotary’s code of conduct is based on the Four-Way Test: Of all the things we think, say or do: 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? The first Rotary meeting was held in Chicago on February 23, 1905. Today there are 34,000 Rotary clubs and 1.2 million members throughout the world. In BC there are 147 Rotary clubs and approximately 6800 members. The first Rotary club in BC

Rotary Club
Awareness Month
Rotary Club of Williams Lake Daybreak January is Rotary Awareness Month. That’s what the headline says. How aware of Rotary are you? Are you aware there are two Rotary Clubs in Williams Lake? Are you aware of all the things Rotary has done in Williams Lake? For much of Rotary’s history, our service activities were whispered instead of shouted from rooftops. The world knows little of our humanitarian and educational programs and even Rotarians are largely unaware of the scope of activities of Rotary worldwide. One way Rotarians are trying to make everyone aware is by wearing a Rotary pin every day. In the words of RI President Tanaka, “The Rotary pin is always on my lapel. It is there because I am proud to be a Rotarian. Anywhere I go; people will see the pin and know who I am. Other Rotarians will see it and know that I am a friend, and people who are not Rotarians will see it as well. I want to be sure that all of them also understand the meaning of this pin.” The next time you see a friend, businessperson or even someone you don’t know wearing a Rotary pin, ask them about it. Rotary is one of the largest fundraising organizations in BC and in the world. There are 1.2 million

BC Mining HR Task Force announces innovative career exploration project Grade 8 students in School District 27, Cariboo Chilcotin will have the opportunity to participate in an innovative pilot program that will provide insight into career opportunities in the mining sector. The pilot, endorsed by the BC Mining HR Task Force: Exploration, Mining, Stone, Sand & Gravel, will see Thompson Rivers University – Williams Lake campus deliver an interactive four-day camp for 40 youth, engaging them in the discovery of the mining sector and its vast employment opportunities. This “hands on” camp, intended to build awareness of the opportunities that exist within the mining sector, will help youth make more informed course choice decisions as they work through to graduation. Dr. Ray Sanders, TRU Williams Lake executive director adds: “We are excited to be able to provide a handson camp to help students make better decisions about careers here at home. “It is our belief that this camp will provide students the motivation and information to stay engaged in school, graduate, and enter a meaningful career in mining. School District 27 is equally pleased to have been included in this educational project being delivered by the local campus of Thompson Rivers University. Mark Thiessen, Superintendent of Schools, SD 27 (Cariboo Chil-
cotin), said: “In School District No. 27, we seek to provide students with many opportunities to connect directly with the world outside of school. We foresee mining continuing to be a vital industry within our region, and I am excited that this camp will make our students more aware of the multitude of career opportunities in the mining sector.” The project is made possible through funding provided by the BC Mining HR Task Force which is in turn funded in large part by the BC Ministry of Jobs, Tourism, and Training. In addition, in-kind assistance is provided from industry and its various partners that have worked closely with the school district over the years, providing career opportunities to students. The BC Mining HR Task Force is encouraged by the initiation of this innovative project, and is looking forward to being able to share the results of the pilot with other jurisdictions throughout the province. David Bazowski, BC Mining HR Task Force chair, said: “The primary focus of the BC Mining HR Task Force is to encourage understanding of and participation in the mining industry and its more than 120 occupations. “For us to be successful a cornerstone must be the reaching out to our youth and the facilitation of collaborative learning opportunities between industry,
educators, and students. This pilot initiative is an excellent example of the type of partnership and experiential learning opportunity that we are all about...” Gord Armour, task force education and training committee chair says, “It is important to access today’s youth early on in their education, providing them with a wide range of information on potential career opportunities in order to plan appropriately. “As well, students understand better when they can interact with business and industry outside the classroom, leading to a clearer understanding of principles taught inside the classroom.” “In 21st Century Learning, students use educational technologies to apply knowledge to new situations, analyze information, collaborate, solve problems, and make decisions. “This camp supports 21st Century Learning with a focus on experiential learning through the delivery of educational activities outside the classroom to support course learning within the classroom.” The pilot will engage 40 youth in a camp setting and facilitate and build awareness of the mining sector. In the camp, youth will be engaged through resource materials, field trips, activities that explore technological advances, information on Canada’s role as a world

Williams Lake finished the season at 12-5-1, first in the Central Interior Hockey League’s East Division.
Stamps finish atop East Division Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Stampeders wrapped up their regular season Saturday finishing first in the Central Interior Hockey League’s East Division. Coming into the weekend the Stamps had already clinched the top spot in the division, finishing its campaign with a 12-5-1 record following its weekend game Friday, Williams Lake hosted the Lac La Hache Tomahawks on home ice in front of 720 fans at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, skating to a 6-4 win over the visitors. Saturday, Williams Lake travelled to Quesnel for a date with the Kangaroos, dropping a hardfought affair, 8-6, at the Twin Ice Arenas. Friday, David Gore (2 G), Jassi Sangha, Matt Lees, Nathan Zurak and Jared Kohlen found the twine for the Stamps, while Anthony Sellars (2 G), Robin Gilbert and Wade Balbirnie lit the lamp for the Tomahawks. Sangha finished the night with a goal and two assists, and Gore added an assist to his two-goal performance. Stampeders netminder Justin
Foote stopped 31 of 35 shots in the winning effort, while Tomahawks goaltender Willie Sellars was kept busy turning aside 40 of 46 shots. Lac La Hache, who started the season with a 6-1-1 record, went on to lose its last 10 games to finish the year. Saturday, it was another story for the Stampeders, who travelled into hostile territory versus a hot Quesnel Kangaroos squad, who were coming into the game with a four-game win streak. They’d go on to make it five wins in a row to cap off the season comfortably in second place in the CIHL’s East Division, four points behind the Stampeders following the 8-6 win. Nick Tomassetti, Levon Johnson (3 G), Curtis Gassoff and Paul Girodat (2 G) scored for the ‘Roos, while Zurak (2 G), Dylan Richardson (3 G) and Brent McIsaac potted goals for the Stamps. Quesnel netminder Ryan Manderson was awarded the win between the pipes, while Foote was handed the loss for Williams Lake. Zurak’s four-point weekend, with just one week left of play in the regular season for other teams around the league, propelled him to second-place in the CIHL scor-

Red Wings claim bantam house tourney crown Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Red Wings finished atop the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association’s 12-team Bantam House Tournament Sunday, downing the Kamloops Eagles, 6-3, to win the title. The Red Wings, with goals from Hunter Mennie (2), Trevor Chaffee (2) and Rylen Williamson, built a solid 5-0 lead by early in the third period before the Eagles found their legs. Kamloops answered back with three goals of its own but Lukas Johnson, with 4:50 remaining, sealed the deal for the Red Wings. Red Wings coach
David Baye credited the solid play of firstyear goaltender Mason Carrier, along with a strong team effort, in sealing the win. “Our team played great all tournament,” Baye said. “The third game we had a little bit of a lapse, but we were really good in our first, second and fourth games. We’re fortunate we’ve got a lot of really good kids on our team. “They’re good hockey players and they all get along. They pass the puck and they’re a lot of fun to be around.” Speaking on Carrier, Baye said it was a well-deserved win for the rookie netminder.
“He’s never played before this year and to win the tournament in his first tournament is pretty good,” he said. Red Wings captain Jared Davey echoed those statements, noting Carrier’s play was the highlight of the tournament for him. “I liked our goalie’s saves the best,” Davey said. “His second game, he played really well.” Davey said the key to the tournament was how everyone worked together. “We used the boards well and passed lots,” he said. In the bronze-medal match is was the Kamloops Boltz shutting out the Williams Lake Big Chiefs, 2-0.
In the battle for fifth and sixth it was the Williams Lake Blues Brothers beating the Williams Lake Silverbacks, 5-3. The Williams Lake Chunder Monkeys finished seventh, knocking off Quesnel Amboy Logging, 5-1, while the ninth/10th game saw the Westside Warriors knock off the Prince George Northland Water Penguins, 3-2. The tournament, which ran from Jan. 11-13 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, featured five teams from Williams Lake, two teams from Quesnel, two teams from Kamloops, Westside and the North Okanagan Knights.

Grapplers medal at War on the Floor It was another successful tournament for the Williams Lake Wrestling Club, who attended War on the Floor in Langley Dec. 19-21. “We took five wrestlers down to the tournament,” said WLWC president and coach Sonia Conrod. “This is a three-day tournament hosted by Simon Fraser University and this year it was held at the Langley Events Centre.” On the first day of competition, in the Schoolgirl Division (grades 7-8) Danielle Schultz won her first wrestling medal taking silver in the 45-kilogram weight class. “She had fierce competition taking on a very experienced wrestler in the gold-medal match,” Sonia said. With a medal on the day, Danielle was then qualified to enter into the Cadet Division grades 9-10 on day two, and although she didn’t make the podium fought hard and learned a lot.” Also on day two of the competition lakecity grappling veteran Braden Conrod took on the challenge of a very tough 57-kilogram weight class. “He, too, was against older kids,” Sonia said. “This was an incredibly tough division with 24 athletes in it. Braden won one and lost two,

Sonia said it was a truly amazing opportunity. In the Juvenile Division (grades 11-12) both Kara Pare and Makaela Haller competed in the 57-kilogram weight class. Haller battled her way to a fourth-place finish, while Pare picked up her second gold medal of the season. “With Kara’s gold she was then qualified to enter into the Elite Division (grades 8-12) on the final day of competition,” Sonia said. “Kara took on some really tough competition, losing both her matches. She gained experience and learned a lot.” Kerry Normand, just coming back off an injury, won one and lost two in the tough 100-kilogram weight class. The division featured 26 grapplers, and Sonia said Normand definitely held his own. 100 Mile House’s Tiana Dykstra, competing in the 47-kilogram Elite Girls Division, marched away with a silver medal, despite injuring her neck in her first match.

Closer on Studio Theatre stage this week LeRae Haynes Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Studio Theatre presents the adult drama Closer opening this Wednesday, Jan. 16 at the Glendale Theatre. Directed by Todd Sullivan and produced by Juli Harland, the play has a cast of four: Shane Tollefson, Terri Smith, Bobbi-Jo McNair and Chris Hutton. Sullivan explained that the play, written by British playwright, Patrick Marber, is set around the year 2000. “This is a dramatic adult play with some comedic elements; it’s an emotional coaster ride,” he said. “It was challenging to cast in a few ways. One of the characters is a stripper who does an exotic dance during one of the scenes.” Three out of the four young cast members are new, bringing fresh faces to the stage for a play that is bright, sharp and sardonic with moments of wit, and is clever without being contrived. Sullivan said that he is having fun with the play. “I wanted to direct this play for five or six years, and it’s feeling a bit weird to being this close to being done after having a home in my head for so long,” he said. “It just worked this time around.” Tickets are available at About Face Photography.
Wednesday, Jan. 16 Library film night
On Wednesday, Jan. 16 the Williams Lake Library will show the film Payback starting at 7 p.m. Payback, directed by Jennifer Baichwal, is based on Margaret Atwood’s bestselling book Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth. Jennifer Baichwal’s feature documentary Payback offers a fascinating look at debt as a mental construct and traces how it influences relationships, societies, governing structures and even the fate of the planet. The film explores the link between debtor and creditor in a variety of contexts and places. Stories and insights are woven together by the prescient and acute observations of Atwood herself, who demonstrates both that the concept of debt lies at the very core of human experience.

Heart of the Warrior workshop coming up for men Jeremy Vogt Tribune Staff Writer If you are a man, you understand that life is a battle. Chances are pretty good that you lead a busy life putting food on the table. You do way more than 9 to 5-whatever it takes to care for your own. You’re in overdrive, racing to make sure you meet your responsibilities. But you are more than a worker bee and life is more than a rat race. Life is a battle, you are taking fire from all sides, and you want victory. When the work day is done and the house is quiet, you wonder about your life. Is this fight worth it or should I surrender? Am I a wimp or a warrior? Will I ever find victory in the battles and struggles of my life? This probably sounds familiar to you, and now a group of local men are challenging you to come find strength and victory in the
COMMUNITY NOTEBOOK
fight of your life. They are inviting you to attend The Heart of a Warrior Conference on February 1-2 at the Gibraltar Room. This conference features international leader Dr. Ted Roberts. A local businessman says, “I’ve attended Ted’s workshop. It changed my life and showed me victory is possible. I’d recommend it to every man I know!” Dr. Roberts understands how to talk to men about purpose, change and victory in life because he has stared down countless battles in his own life. His story is especially compelling for men, who face the challenges of daily life as well as the inner battles every man confronts. Raised in an abusive, alcoholic home, Ted found inner resilience in the midst of adversity. He became driven to succeed, graduating from college and becoming a top fighter pilot in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. The horrors of war stirred up deep wounds in Ted.
He experienced intense battles with alcohol and especially sex addiction that persisted during and after Vietnam. “I was half drunk in the middle of a firefight in Vietnam, when I read a love letter from my wife, Diane,” remembers Ted. That moment became a pivot point in his life. He found victory and freedom over time by trusting in Jesus Christ and with support from his wife and others. Roberts sought out training and gained expertise to offer real help to others who struggle like he did. The Heart Of A Warrior Conference is designed by Ted to offer practical tools and inspiration for men who need a battle plan to conquer internal enemies—enemies that hinder them from being everything they are meant to be. Ted uses the best insights from counseling and the science of neurochemistry, as well as wisdom from the Bible to forge a path out of shame, awakening the heart of a champion in countless men.
Richard said this after attending one of Dr. Roberts’ conferences: “We are all warriors who continue to fight side by side every day. Men all around the world are fighting a battle they can’t fight alone. We may not fight an enemy army but every day we battle temptation and the pressures from this world. As men, we have to get together and train for the battle. Thank you Ted for being such a great leader.” The Heart Of A Warrior conference happens at the Gibraltar Room Friday, Feb., 1 from 5:30 to 9 p.m. (doors open at 5 p.m.) and continues Saturday, Feb. 2 from 9 a.m. to noon. Cost is $25 at the door (covers materials). Friday evening begins with a pizza dinner. If you have questions about the conference you can email dmc5@telus.net or call 250-267-7670. You can visit www.conquerseries.com to find out more about Dr. Roberts. Jeremy Vogt is a minister at Cariboo Bethel Church.
