BC Liquor Stores help Alberta BC Liquor Store customers can support Red Cross flood relief efforts in Alberta by making a donation at any BC Liquor Store throughout the province. Donations will help provide people with necessary emergency relief, medical treatment and assistance to recover from the effects of the flooding. From June 29 until Aug. 10, customers may make donations of $2 or $5 - or multiples thereof - at all checkouts in BC Liquor Stores. The BC Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) has a long-term partnership with the Canadian Red Cross. Due to the size and scope of the damage from flooding in Alberta, the Canadian Red Cross requested that the LDB activate its fundraising system.

Police break down door to bust crack house Armed with a search warrant Williams Lake RCMP broke down the door of a suspected crack shack located on Second Avenue North on Thursday, June 27. Plainclothes and uniformed police officers had to batter down a well re-enforced door.

Inside, the RCMP arrested their intended female suspect along with two others. There were also small children inside, report police. A significant quantity of cocaine was seized along with cash. In total, this was about a $10,000-loss to this sus-

South Lakeside Drive upgrading starts today Motorists are asked to take care to obey flaggers and slower speed signs as repaving and widening work begins today on South Lakeside Drive. Repaving the merge lane from Hodgson Road will be extended to Pioneer Drive. A pedestrian/bike lane will also be added from the Hodgson Road intersection as far as the Cariboo Adventists School, the city noted in a Friday press release. Work on the project is expected to continue through the summer and into September. Construction of a wall on

the north side of South Lakeside Drive, as well as miscellaneous preparation work will be performed during the first week of construction. Expect to see crews working between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. All accesses to South Lakeside Drive will be open, but motorists should expect minor delays. Motorists are asked to asked to obey flaggers and the posted work zone speed limits. Updates on the progress of the project will be issued weekly.

will continue to target drug houses in the community. “The Williams Lake RCMP want to encourage people to report drug activity if they suspect it is occurring in their neighbourhood. We have a remedy for that!” said Insp. Warren Brown.

Students and staff at Williams Lake Secondary School help load 3,000 pounds of food gathered during a Poverty Challenge that took place from April 13 until June 13. Next year’s challenge is already in the works, organizers said.

School poverty challenge fills a need

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Staff and students at Williams Lake Secondary school donated 3,000 pounds or 4,122 cans of food to the Salvation Army food bank on June 13. And they know it weighed that much, thanks to the efforts of teacher Lynn Capling’s Grade 10 math class students. “We were learning about indirect measurement and switching back and forth between metric and imperial conversions so they weighed the food,” Capling said. “It’s all part of the curriculum.” The weigh scales in the school are meant for weighing larger volumes than a can of food, so the students stood on the scales, weighed themselves with and without the food to make comparisons, she explained.

A ton of food equals 2,666 cans they learned. Poverty Challenge Project chair school counsellor Sandee Davis said it’s the first time the school has completed such a large food drive. “We started on April 19. We had Waffle Wednesdays, which actually happened on Tuesdays, where we served waffles with ice cream for a fundraiser, and every Friday students went to each classroom to pick up donated food,” Davis said. Augmenting the food donated by students and staff at the school and school board office, was a $1,000 donation from Bruce Combs and Darren Getz on behalf of the Williams Lake Log Haulers Association. “We used the money to purchase hundreds of cans of food,” said fundraising co-ordina-

tor and school custodian Grant Macleod. “Staff at the district board office had a challenge between downstairs and upstairs, and the upstairs won totalling 700 items,” he said. Salvation Army Captain Claudine Kadonaga welcomed the donation and said the food bank was down to one month worth of food on the shelves. “Our donations were down by 25 per cent at Christmas, but that was OK because our food bank usage in the first quarter was down. Now the usage is increasing again because we have a lot of new clients,” Kadonaga said. They’ve seen people in between jobs, waiting for EI to kick in, she added. As she watched a small army of students load the cans into the Salvation Army delivery truck she smiled and said she appreciated all the help given by

the staff and students to the community. “This food will go a long way,” she said. Already Davis and Macleod are plotting for next year’s Poverty Challenge. “We are going to host a variety show and silent auction on Nov. 23 and are hoping it will be a big event,” Davis said. Macleod has already proposed a challenge between Lake City Secondary School’s Western and Carson campuses, and said there will also be a challenge between all the elementary schools. Sibhon Wright, WLSS art teacher, along with four of her students said the school will be hosting an empty soup bowl project in the next school year as well. Students will create pottery bowls for sale, and hopefully the community will attend, purchase a bowl of soup

and take a bowl home with them. “We will be looking for donation of potters’ skills, soup from restaurants and bread from local bakeries,” Wright said. The soup night will also feature students sharing their talents, Wright confirmed.

Jack Pine site continues to slide Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The city will ask the owners of the abandoned Jack Pine Forests Products site at 4105 Frizzi Road to control surface water flow from the mill yard that is suspected to be contributing to instability of the river valley escarpment. At a special meeting June 25, council received the recommendation from engineering technologist Jeff Bernardy. “A series of landslides have occurred along the river valley

escarpment in the near vicinity,” Bernardy noted. In 2002, 2009, and 2012 slope failures occurred in the vicinity, causing damage to the city’s sewer infrastructure, loss of the mill yard and damage to the city drainage. In June slope failure has continued, with the most recent events happening June 22 and June 26 after the city was hit with torrential rainfalls that dumped a huge amount of rain in a very short amount of time. The June 22 resulted in some of the escarp-

ment slipping down, but on June 26, a larger portion slid right down into the Williams Lake Creek. Council will request that a diversion berm system be installed on Jackpine lands and tied into the city storm system. If the action is not taken by the owner by 4:30 p.m. July 4, 2013 staff will hire a contractor to complete the work. The recovery of these costs would be from the owner or the sale of the property as specified in section 80 of the Community Charter.

Intersection at Carson could be moving north Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer If all goes according to plan, the intersection with lights at Carson Drive in Williams Lake will be moved north to Toop Road. At an open house held at city hall Wednesday, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure shared

the preliminary engineering stage of the proposed plan. Regional project manager Lisa Miller said the design consultant reviewed the planning study, conceptual options and stakeholder feedback and recommended that relocating and upgrading the signalized intersection from Carson Drive to Toop

Road would best improve safety and mobility along the corridor. The average daily traffic going through the corridor is 11,000, and up to 16,000 in the summer months, with 94 per cent being passenger vehicles and six per cent trucks. “Traffic growth has been about .7 per cent per year between 2001

and 2010,” Miller said. Between 2003 and 2012, there were two fatalities, 27 injuries and 43 property damage events in the vicinity. One of the charts on display indicated 36 per cent of accidents have been 90 degree intersection types, 14 per cent were off-road right and off-road left,

13 per cent were rearend incidents and 37 per cent were other. Existing delays for people trying to get onto the highway is one of the reasons for reconfiguring the intersection. “If you’re trying to turn off of Toop onto Highway 97 either left or right you’re always having some delays,” Miller said.

Changes to the roadway would include a four-lane cross section, 2.6 metre centre median, 2 metrewide paved shoulders with curb and gutter up to Toop Road, 3.6 metre-wide lanes, a 70 kilometre and hour design speed and a roadside barrier as required. Miller said the next steps will be to con-

tinue consultation with First Nations and stakeholders, conduct a road safety audit, and develop a detailed design that would hopefully ready by January 2014. Once the design is completed then funding for the project will need to be secured, which Miller estimated would cost between $22 and $24 million.

Father expresses grief over fatal crash allegations Black Press Cyril Vigeant is living every parent’s nightmare. Last week Cyril’s son Kyle, 22, died following a single vehicle incident on Chimney Lake Road, which police have associated with theft and fraud. “I would like the community to know my son was in no way involved with these people or these thefts,”

Mr. Vigeant said Thursday. Kyle was born and raised in Williams Lake, and worked a variety of jobs in the community before settling in as an assistant manager at Best Buy Propane. His dad says Kyle was known for his upbeat, reliable personality. “He was there for anyone that needed help. He had time for

anyone, and was always looking out for the underdog.” But it may have been that kindness that led Kyle to get in the vehicle early Monday morning after work. Just a few short hours after his son said goodnight, the vehicle Kyle was a passenger in lost control. Mr. Vigeant said his son was killed, and his son’s friend, who was also in the vehicle, is

in hospital with critical injuries. “I don’t want people to think they had the wrong impression of my boy. He was not involved with these people, other than the mistake of getting in their vehicle,” Mr. Vigeant said. June 25 the RCMP said the 21-year-old driver of the vehicle and a passenger fled the scene following the crash and stole another

vehicle from a nearby residence, before being apprehended by police. Police said both men are from Alberta and the driver had outstanding warrants from that province. Police also reported one person died at the scene, one person was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Another person was arrested without incident at the scene. Police also said the group of

males involved in the crash were involved with fraud and theft in and around Williams Lake. June 27 Williams Lake RCMP Insp. Warren Brown clarified the “deceased is not a suspect in these offences. The people we have in custody are believed to be involved in other property offences.” Mr. Vigeant said: “My son was always giving people a second,

and third and fourth chance. He said there’s always good in someone, you just had to find it. Kyle’s biggest mistake was his heart. It always seems to be the good who dies in situations like this.” Services for Kyle Vigeant will be held at Compassionate Care Funeral Home at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 6. A celebration of life will follow at the Elk’s Hall at 1 p.m.

Final Columneetza graduating class enjoys teachers Cody Haley-York Columneetza Valedictorian I would like to thank Mr. Gaylord for that introduction and wish him luck as principal of the new Lake City Secondary, and you’ll need it now that you have to deal with twice as many Grade 12 students. Good afternoon fellow graduates, dignitaries, teachers, families and friends. I would like to thank all of you for coming and supporting us on this important day. Also I would like to thank my grad class for giving me the opportunity to represent you, especially when there were so many other great candidates. As you know we are the final grad class of Columneetza. Over the last 45 years Columneetza graduates have gone on to become professional athletes, mayors, judges, teachers, professors, volunteers in third world countries, and even a paralympian who travelled the globe. We as a grad class are looking forward to be joining them. The last five years have been a unique experience for all of us and I would like to acknowledge the people who have helped us be here today. On behalf of the grad class I would like to thank all the teachers, especially for putting up with all the in-class texting.

are going to miss and there are some things we are not going to miss. We are going to miss going on a Timmy’s run with friends - but we won’t miss the crammed student parking lot and how everyone drives like they’re in a Fast and Furious movie. We are going to miss all those Pro D days, but we are not going to miss filling out wellness wheels and daily physical activity logs. We are going miss Mr. Routtu when he retires and his after school fitness program, but we are not going to miss his physics homework. We are going to miss the teachers who went above and beyond to help us on

their own free time, but we are not going to miss the 42-minute lunch “hours.” On behalf of the grad class I would like to thank all our families for providing support and guidance throughout our school years, we may not have always followed your advice but we appreciated all that you have done. This graduation class has diverse plans for the future. Those plans include going to university to study engineering, law, education, business, criminology, video game design, and veterinary medicine. Other grads plan to enrol in trade school or travel. Others plan to join the work force now and

save themselves from the large amounts of homework and even larger tuition fees. And some have not decided what they want to do. We do not know what the future holds and our plans may change, we may make wrong decisions but that’s okay because as a wise man once said: “knowing what you don’t want to do is just as important as knowing what you do want to do.” While many of us are excited to see this day finally arrive, it is also bittersweet. Today is like reading the last page of a great book, as much as we want to know how it ends, part of us doesn’t want it to. But all great books

must come to an end. Today we say goodbye to everything that was familiar, everything that was comfortable – The 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Monday to Friday routine, our classes, our teachers, our school. But even though we are saying goodbye to those, we are not saying goodbye to our friendships. Because the friendships that are truly important will endure, no matter where we are. I would like to end my speech with a quote by Sir Winston Churchill, “do not be sad because this is not the end, this is not the beginning of the end, this is just the end of the beginning.” Thank You.

Columneetza valedictorian Cody Haley-York speaks in front of a crowd of proud parents, teachers and fellow students to deliver his valedictorian speech to the class of 2013. The teachers have been a vital part of our high school experience. We have enjoyed pre-test fudge in Mrs. Chupa’s class. We have laughed with Mrs. Basran at her attempts to illustrate math equations. We have been awe inspired by Mr. Bird’s beard. We appreciated Mr. Heal constantly reminding us that the LA Kings won the Stanley Cup last year. We were surprised and proud to see Mr. Csizmadia shave his head for cancer. We would like to thank the PE staff for giv-

ing us the opportunity to run up 11th Avenue in the pouring rain first block Monday mornings. In your own way, all of you have had a positive influence on our education. We would also like to thank the people who actually make this school function. Without people like Trudy Lynn, Sue, Lynn, and Pennie our school would be a disorganized mess. We would like to congratulate Pennie on retirement after working for 26 years. While some of us may not admit it, there are things we

Final WLSS graduating class complex and talented Peter Navratil WLSS valedictorian Good morning, parents, family, friends, honoured guests, administrators, teachers, and my dear fellow graduates. Thank you for being here today, for putting in the effort and the time to celebrate with us in this time of achievement. Thank you for sharing with us from your abundance of knowledge, for teaching us. Thank you for helping us through all the challenges we faced on the way, for doing more than you could possibly know. My name is Peter, and I am a member of the 2013 Williams Lake Secondary School grad class. I have been selected as the one most likely to deliver a grad speech that pleases everyone. This is a daunting task, and I do not really feel up to it. But at this point in time I do not have much choice. The main difficulty that I encountered in writing this came in the form of this grad class being so incredible. This may not seem like a problem, but I found it very hard to find things to say that are adequate for these individuals. So I have decided instead to try to enlighten you to the extraordinary characteristics of the grad class that I have come to know so well over the last few years The 2013 Williams Lake Secondary school grad class is like salt water taffee. They are all made of organic matter in the beginning and come from a relatively simple substance, like salt. Yet when their true potential is harnessed and they begin to grow and develop, they become some of the most complex candies known to man. For every single one of them there is more than what meets the eye, and you really have to taste them, (get to know them) to receive the full effect of who they are. The 2013 WLSS

My dearest grad class, my role models, my friends - how are you? I know that this ceremony has been long enough already, but just think, this is the beginning of the rest of your life! With such little time to live you have to be prepared to make the most of it, and I am primed and ready to help you out as much as I can.

I have a few words of advice for the eager adult ready to take on the world: wear deodorant. When in a high class situation in close proximity with people, this is the best way to make friends. Do things that scare you. This is different for everyone, but every single one of you has things you are scared of. Push yourself out of your comfort zone:

this is the best way to become the best version of yourself. Do things you need to do, not only what you want to. Do not throw rocks at windows; this is not because you can not hit them, but because they will break. Do not base your decisions on money and what you could have. But instead base them on who they benefit, and pick the

option that does the most good. If you follow these simple instructions, I am absolutely positive that you will do excellent in every aspect of your life. C o n g r at u l at i o n s Williams Lake Secondary School Graduates of 2013, you are amazing. May God grant success to all of your endeavors and plans. The future awaits.

Williams Lake Secondary School valedictorian Peter Navratil wishes graduating student success in their future and thanks all those who have helped the graduates along the way toward reaching their goals. grad class is like a small bus. It seems rather insignificant when first observed - just like any other bus. But yet that small bus has the capability to do some very important tasks: it can transport presidents on their way to save the world, or even bring your children to school on their very first day of kindergarten. This grad class has that potential. The 2013 WLSS grad class is like a stick. It was once lost in the forest dropped and forgotten on the forest floor. Then it was taken in by the loving arms of teachers, family, and friends and now it is a stick with a bow on it. Very tasteful. The 2013 WLSS grad class is like a starburst (copyright): inside a rather indiscreet tight wrapping, is held on of the most delicious taste bud-bending pieces of person you will ever find. Each one is

slightly different from the other, but they are all unbelievably delicious. The 2013 WLSS grad class is like a toaster: they can take a plain old object that does not do much and seems useless, and with just a little heart and hard work, can turn it into something magnificent, something that has kids all over the country craving it for breakfast. Toast is the sinew that holds our society together. You give this class dirt, and they build a sand castle. You give them salt, they make a taffee. You give them a task, they do the best job possible. You give them a stick, they make a work of art. You give them a bread, they make toast. That is the 2013 WLSS grad class. That is the power of the youth of today. I hope I have helped you get to know the amazing students that are graduating from WLSS today.

First session brings excitement

Sodium savvy

ur body needs salt to survive, send nerve impulses and contract and relax our muscles. As a bonus salt adds flavour and helps preserve foods. However, in our North American food system we get way too much of a good thing. The average Canadian consumes about 3400 milligrams of sodium daily. This is over double the recommended intake of 1500 milligrams, and it is fifty per cent higher than the upper tolerable limit of 2400 milligrams (which equals one teaspoon). According to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation three in ten Canadians have high blood pressure caused by too much dietary salt. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has been identified by the World Health Organization as the leading risk factor for premature death in the world. So where does all this salt come from? Roughly eighty percent of sodium in the diet comes from processed foods and restaurants. It is important to read nutrition labels because salt can be hidden in less obvious places such as breakfast cereals and vegetable juices that boast numerous health claims. Some popular breakfast cereals have up to 350 milligrams of sodium per serving (and most people eat more than one serving) and vegetable juices can have close to 500 milligrams of sodium per cup. More obvious sources of sodium are found in the fast food items. A burger and fries meal could easily tally up 1500 milligrams of sodium. Even the health conscious fast food eater can be hard pressed to find low salt options. Some fast food restaurant salads pack in 1200 milligrams or more. The best way to avoid a high salt diet is to shop the perimeter of the grocery store, choose whole foods and cook from scratch as much as possible. Simone Jennings, is a registered dietitian with Interior Health.

Our Viewpoint

NDP is at a Crossroads The provincial NDP is at a crossroads, and whichever direction it chooses is fraught with challenges. Not only did the party lose an election that almost everyone expected it would win, it lost a number of key ridings, particularly in the Interior and Lower Mainland suburbs. It also lost in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, where Green Party candidate Andrew Weaver was elected. Weaver is a well-known scientist who is articulate and knowledgeable. He will almost certainly help build on the Green Party beachhead which began when national leader Elizabeth May won a Vancouver Island seat in the 2011 federal election. The NDP has much to fear from the Greens, who appeal to many younger and environmentally-minded people. The NDP, by contrast, often has difficulty moving beyond its massive debt to organized labour. The past election showed that many union members, particularly those whose jobs are related to resource extraction, voted Liberal. The NDP could shift to a more environmentallybased party and leave these voters behind perma-

nently. But if the party did so, they would be playing catch-up with the Greens. Or the NDP could move in the direction of being much more robust in supporting economic development. The provincial NDP risk being caught in the squeeze that the federal Liberals were in after the 2011 election. The Liberals were out muscled by the Conservatives on the jobs and economy front, and by the federal NDP on the labour, environment and social issues front. It was the party’s worst showing ever. The B.C. NDP must decide if Adrian Dix will remain as leader. If he stays on as leader, there is almost certain to be a vicious internal fight within the NDP, which will likely lead to a very divided party. That would leave it in even worse shape to deal with the changes that are in the wind on the provincial political scene. Premier Christy Clark and the BC Liberals are watching the NDP angst with undisguised enthusiasm. - Langley Times

hope everyone had a happy Canada Day. I was very excited to begin the new session of the legislature last week. With the throne speech and budget being put forward, there was a lot to be done, but I enjoyed every moment of it. A lot of what happens in the legislature while the government is in session is somewhat of mystery to many people, and unfortunately the media doesn’t often show some of the most interesting parts of w h a t MLA goes on Musings d o w n there. Coralee Oakes O n Wednesday, Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon gave her throne speech that focused on growing the economy, controlling spending, and creating a legacy for future generations. A big part of the throne speech was seizing the opportunity we have in Liquefied Natural Gas, and using much of the revenue generated to help pay down the debt. The throne speech also outlined some of the policies that our government will be implementing to grow the economy and remain fiscally responsible, such as freezing the personal income tax rate, controlling spending, accelerating the BC Jobs Plan, and much more. While the throne speech lays out the overall vision of the government, it is also important to plan how to get there. A big part of that is deciding how to allocate funding, and that’s why the announcement of the budget is always an important event. On Thursday, Finance Minister Mike de Jong presented the June Update to Budget 2013, which was initially introduced in February. The update forecasts surpluses for the next three fiscal years, meaning that our government will be responsible and will not spend more than it makes. That being said, we are ensuring we spend taxpayers’ money in the most efficient way possible, so we are making investments that boost the economy, make life more affordable for BC families, and support our children. Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

ANAHAM RIDERS HEAD TO TOWN FOR STAMPEDE

Tara Sprickerhoff photo

The Tlètinqox-tìn bike and horse riders from Anaham Reserve near Alexis Creek head into Williams Lake following five days on the road last Thursday. More than 50 young bike and horse riders from several different reserves joined the trip which has been a Stampede tradition for 11 years. Riders camped each night on their journey down Highway 20.

I would like to send a big thank you and a huge bouquet of roses to Canada Safeway Ltd, Dollar Dollar, Kids Kloset, Shoppers Drug Mart and Wise Owl Toys for their generous donations in support of the local and national campaign ‘May Speech and Hearing Month.’ By giving their support they enabled Speech and Language Pathology and Audiology services in Williams Lake a chance to highlight their services within the community and spread the message “Live Well, Hear well, Speak well.” I would also like to thank the Tribune and LeRae Haynes for writing and printing articles about Speech and Language Pathology and Audiology services. Thank you also to Interior Health and the Williams Lake Library for helping with a free raffle to win a basket of Summer

Barkerville Theatre Royal Gala Opening by Chris Nickless Sunshine, blue skies, bears, fox and enthusiastic theatre goers were all part of the Gala Opening day for Newman and Wright’s Theatre Royal in Barkerville June 15. The afternoon reception saw dignitaries from Prince George, Quesnel, The Cariboo Regional District and the South Cariboo partake of a sumptuous dim sum buffet while Barkerville’s operations manager James Douglas welcomed guests and told the attendees about some exciting things in the future for the provincial heritage site. Newman and Wright’s afternoon and evening performances were well attended and proved to be equally, if not greater than performances in years past. No visit to Barkerville is complete without taking in one or more of the Theatre Royal’s most excellent productions. Well done Richard, Amy and the whole theatre group. At the evening performance, a short but hilarious auction took place, helping the theatre’s bank account but more importantly providing a highly entertaining bonus for all the attendees. A visit to the Barkerville Historic Site and Theatre Royal should be a bucket-list must for this year.
