New Prosperity panel hearings underway Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The environmental assessment panel hearings for Taseko Mine Ltd.’s New Prosperity Mine got underway in Williams Lake Monday afternoon. More than 350 people filled the Cariboo Memorial Complex’s Gibraltar Room. Some of the crowd wore bright blue sashes, signifying their support of the project, while others, like Tsilhqot’in member Cecil Grinder, who led the First Nations procession into the hearings, wore regalia. The First Nations sang and drummed three songs, including one in honour of Fish Lake. Once they were done, local GM manager Lorne Doerkson started off the singing of O Canada, to which several of the First Nations drummed along to. After thanking the First Nations for the opening, panel chair Bill Ross said the panel is
independent of the Government of Canada and has been appointed by the federal minister of the environment to conduct an environmental assessment of the proposed mine project. Encouraging involvement and participation from everyone in the region, Ross said the panel will rely in part on the information it receives through the hearings. “We also believe that it will be helpful to Taseko and other participants,” he said. “We recognize that the conclusions and recommendations that we will provide to the federal government will have an effect on the participants here today and of those who live in Williams Lake and surrounding communities.” Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook welcomed the panel and said she is proud of the city’s relationship with local First Nations and the work done during the recent St. Joseph’s Residential School Commemorative
Project. “As a city and a region we have started the process of healing and reconciliation,” Cook said. “The leadership demonstrated by our First Nations people was an example for us all. We have done good work together and I’m committed to seeing that great work continue outside of and after this panel review process.” Local governments have a duty to seriously consider all economic opportunities, Cook said. “The New Prosperity project is the largest undeveloped goldcopper deposit in Canada and the seventh largest gold-copper deposit of its kind in the world.” Acting Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Coun. Willie Sellars said stewardship is crucial. “We support the right of First Nations and their leaders to protect their territory,” Sellars said. “I was at a fundraiser to protect Fish Lake last week and
I noticed there were just as many non-First Nations as First Nations people. This suggests that there are many people critically concerned about the impact of the New Prosperity proposal.” Sellars said First Nations populations are growing, language and traditional practices are being reinvigorated, but the heart of the people is still the land. “We hope and pray the panel will act wisely and carefully,” he said and asked the panel to consider not only the economics and science, but the stories of the people who have inhabited the area since time memorial. The hearings continue in Williams Lake until Aug. 1, followed by community sessions in First Nations communities. The hearings will culminate with a closing remarks session on Aug. 23. Ross said after the hearings the panel will prepare a report for the minister of environment and submit it within 70 days.

Beetle action coalition calls for rural development strategy Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Rural B.C. needs to create a rural development strategy with new programs for economic development, revenue sharing, advocacy and venture capital, said Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition manager David Majcher during a presentation to Williams Lake city council last week. Majcher introduced council to the Rural BC Project, which was designed to stimulate discussion and understanding of the challenges facing rural B.C. and what actions need
to be taken to help rural B.C. communities succeed. The project grew out of the Reversing the Tide initiative workshop held in Prince George in 2008, where people together from all over the world shared stories about the challenges of developing rural economies. “That got the beetle action coalitions thinking that they needed to do something here in B.C.,” Majcher said. All three beetle action coalitions are involved with the Rural BC Project, which includes identifying rural economic development
and good practices, understanding of the mutual economic codependence between rural and urban areas, understanding the challenges and actions required to be successful and to demonstrate what best practices would be. Rural B.C. is suffering from population decline, slow labour force growth, slow rates of business creation and the challenge to achieve healthy economic diversification, Majcher said. “What’s interesting is that two thirds of provincial exports are derived from the rural areas. It’s not that
rural B.C. isn’t important, it’s that were very important. The government’s invested heavily in economic diversification in urban areas but hasn’t spent too much effort trying to help us diversify our economies here.” Alberta has a rural vision policy that is reflected in the planning and budget of every ministry in the Alberta government. They evaluate their budgets and programs to make sure they’re not causing damage to the rural parts of their province, Majcher said, suggesting rural B.C. needs to bring all ministries together to

help rural areas. Rural B.C. has suffered the impacts of the mountain pine beetle and seen a decline in the forest sector that has created instability. “Industries like mining and oil and gas are not always filling the gap,” Majcher said. A rural dividend would ensure rural areas had a share of resource revenue generated in or near their communities. Other provinces have core funding from lead agencies committed by contracts, usually protected from political interference. “In Quebec they run their contracts out

seven years on purpose and they line them up for the middle of government’s terms so they are looked after that way,” he said. Having a senior B.C. cabinet minister responsible for rural development and a non-government organization that’s a rural advocate are crucial too, he added. B.C. has had a successful record of venture capital, but the majority is invested in urban B.C. Rural revitalization in the U.S. and Europe is focused on providing rural development venture capital so there are lessons to be
learned from other jurisdictions. At the upcoming Union of BC Municipalities conference taking place in Vancouver, Sept. 16 - 20, the CBACs hope to meet with Premier Christy Clark and other ministers, Mayor Kerry Cook said. Council also unanimously passed a motion to write a letter of support to endorse the project. The goal is to recommend a longterm strategy for rural B.C. to be self-determining and have the tools and investment to succeed socially and economically. Project timeline is two years.

First Nations host rally at start of New Prosperity hearings Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer Prior to the start of the New Prosperity mine environmental assessment panel hearing Monday, First Nations leaders held a drum circle and rally for those opposed to the New Prosperity mine. First Nations and non-First Nations alike attended the event, scheduled for 11 a.m. “This morning is just trying to gather people and show that we are united and we have our cause going into the panel hearings,” said Chief Russell Myers Ross of the Yunesit’in (Stone) First Nation who spoke at the event. “Our message for the pane hearings is still to say no to the project. “It’s still a matter of justice,” he said. The New Prosperity mine project proposes
to preserve Fish Lake (Teztan Biny), whereas the original plan would have drained the lake to make way for a tailings pond. Despite the change, many First Nations in the area remain strongly opposed to Taseko’s mine. “Today is just a get together. A ceremony for something that we feel shouldn’t be happening for a second round. It’s certainly a disappointment. We have no choice but to be involved,” said Chief Roger William of the Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah Valley) First Nations. “We really feel that a lot of our questions, concerns and issues haven’t been addressed, and these hearings are going to be a big part of that, so here we want to get together as people of the land: First Na-

Opening the ceremony, Cecil Grinder spoke of the “battle” to take place during the upcoming days.
“It’s important that we stand together. It’s important that you recognize what is going on in your back yards. It’s important that we are here,” he said. Following his speech,
Grinder led a crowded group of drummers in a Tsilhqot’in warrior song, as well as taught a new song Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) to sing at the panel hearing. Everyone at the
event also participated in a Friendship dance, where participants joined in a circle that stretched far around the stage in Boitanio Park. Following the circle and lunch, various speakers took to the stage. “We have got to bury this proposal once and for all,” said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Bands. “It really lifts my heart to know there are so many different groups here speaking with one heart and one mind.” Phillip called the New Prosperity project “destructive” and “devastating,” saying that the proposal would “completely obliterate the indigenous people’s land.” “We are all here to say one thing and that one thing is no. Absolutely
no way are we going to allow this proposal to be approved,” Phillips said, as the crowd responded with cheers and shouts of “no way.” Grand Chief Edward John, currently the North American representative to the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues also spoke at the event, emphasizing “free, prior and informed consent” for projects using First Nation lands. Members of the Council of Canadians, who attended, also echoed this sentiment, saying the land to be used for New Prosperity is First Nations land that has never been recognized as such. Following the speeches at Boitanio Park, the group marched to the opening of the panel in the Gibraltar Room.
Chamber hosts barbecue to kick off New Prosperity hearings Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Around 150 people attended an informal community barbecue hosted by the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce Monday before the opening of the Canadian Environmental Assessment panel hearings in Williams Lake. There were no formal speeches but proponents of the project were available for media interviews. New Prosperity is “too important” to the economy to be denied, Cariboo GM manager Lorne Doerkson suggested. “Taseko has spent $100 million going through the environmental assessment, it has responded to First Nations demands and
government demands, and I think there are still false comments being made that are confusing people.” The suggestion that Taseko is going to destroy Fish Lake is fullstop wrong, Doerkson added. “It angers me that people are out there still saying that. I think there is absolute confusion about this project as there is people in the know.” Doerkson said New Prosperity Mine could help strengthen an economy that’s been impacted by the mountain pine beetle and the downturn of the forest industry. “We haven’t been that strong over the last few years, and I don’t know what the city would look like if we didn’t have 1200 guys working in the

jection to the first project was the loss of Fish Lake,” he said. “Under the new plan the lake is saved and preserved, not only through operations but for future generations. That can be
considered accommodation of their interests.” Former Tsi Del Del chief Ervin Charleyboy said he welcomed the panel process. “This is not a done deal, that’s why we
have environmental assessments,” he said. Convinced the mine would be environmentally friendly and would give younger generations employment, Charleyboy said presently there is very little to offer young people in First Nations communities. “Environmentalists speaking against the project don’t know what life is like in the Chilcotin,” Charleyboy said. “My young people live from welfare cheque to welfare cheque and I feel for them. “A single guy gets $185 a month. How can you live on that? It saddens me that young people are doing nothing on the reserves. “I am ever the optimist,” Williams Lake
and District Chamber president Jason Ryll said. “I believe this proposal is sound in its science and environmental approach.” Len Doucette of 100 Mile House, who spearheaded the “Say Yes to New Prosperity” campaign, was busy handing out blue sashes for people to wear as an indication they support the project. “It wasn’t my idea, but it’s a good one,” he said of the sashes. “The blue comes from Taseko’s Commitment to the Cariboo campaign.” Doucette said he was disappointed the panel hearings were not taking place in 100 Mile House or Quesnel. “It’s a project for the whole region,” he said.

CRD’s historic site tour guide map in second printing Monica Lamb-Yorski Special to The Tribune You could say they’re selling like hotcakes, but they’re free so there’s no selling involved. Recently the Cariboo Regional District launched a historic driving tour guide and Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

map. They had 1,000 copies printed locally, but within a short period of time, most of the copies were gone. As a result, the CRD approved an additional $1,000 for the CRD Heritage Committee to have another 1,000 copies printed. Area F director Joan Sorley, chairs the heritage committee, and said the committee began brainstorming the brochure idea
a year ago. “It was one of our business plan goals,” Sorley said. “Enhancing awareness of historical sites around the Cariboo Regional District.” The brochure has six pages of information and a map. People can explore the region in a circle tour, a day trip or a weekend trip. “We wrote a little bit about the history as well as the servic-
es available at each place,” Sorley added. Before the draft for the brochure was finalized, Sorley and her husband took a trip on Mother’s Day, covering a majority of the areas in the region. They stopped at places like Stanley along Highway 26 en route to Wells and Alexandria along Highway 97. “It was great. So many times I’m driv-
ing through to a meeting or something and never have the time to stop,” Sorley said. The CRD’s heritage committee is made up of volunteers who worked with the CRD staff to produce the brochure by doing research and gathering photographs. Copies of the brochure are available at the CRD and visitor information centres throughout the region.
City council endorses science-based land-use review Monica Lamb-Yorski Special to The Tribune A science-based review of land use objectives that does not support opening up the Cariboo Chilcotin Land Use Plan is crucial to tackle the mid-term timber supply, says a report from Williams Lake City Council. Last week council endorsed sending a letter of support for a science-based review to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. The review would examine land use objectives associated with old growth manage-
ment areas, mule deer winter ranges and areas with visual quality objectives. “In our letter we’re saying in no way does this endorsement mean that the city supports opening up the Cariboo Chilcotin Land Use Plan,” said Mayor Cook. A science-based review will suggest what could be done, how much timber would be made available and identify risks to achieving stated land use objectives, Chief Administrative Officer Darrell Garceau noted in a report to council. Garceau said there will be another round of dialogue and consultation once the re-
sults of the reviews are released. “This will give the city an opportunity to have informed discussions with its citizens, neighbouring communities, First Nations and resource stakeholders before making recommendations to the Minister.” Coun. Laurie Walters fully endorsed the review. “I don’t think we have anything to lose at this point,” she said. “The facts are there that 70 per cent of this region has the mountain pine beetle infestation and 70 per cent of our region is very forest dependent.” Coun. Geoff Bourdon said in recent
discussions with the ministry and licensees council was told the definition of sciencebased would also include things like socioeconomic impact. “It is a full analysis of all the impacts so we can actually see both sides of the story and have enough information to make a decision.” Coun. Surinderpal Rathor, who has worked in the forest industry the last 40 years, said the review will explore options that may have not been explored before. “I encourage everyone in the community to get out and get involved. Our futures are on the line,” Rathor
said. “Williams Lake is no different than any other resource-based community and needs to speak up for itself.” Unless communities request a review, the ministry has said
reviews won’t happen, said Coun. Ivan Bonnell. “The train’s leaving the station so we might as well get on board and see where it leads us,” he added.
A review is the easy stage, suggested Mayor Kerry Cook. “It’s when we get the information back that we’ll have to make some tough decisions moving forward.”

Deadline Friday on expressions of interest to lease or purchase schools in the district Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer The deadline is coming up this Friday, July 26 for people wishing to submit expressions of interest for School District 27 properties on the market for sale or lease. The district is looking to sell or lease four Williams Lake properties: Glendale and
Kwaleen elementary schools, the former Poplar Glade school site, and the Glencoe site on the old Soda Creek Road. “The board’s first priority is to dispose (sell) property,” says Superintendent Mark Thiessen. Once expressions of interest for the sale or lease of a property for more than 10 years
are received the board must request permission from the Ministry of Education and adopt a board bylaw. After permission is granted by the ministry and the bylaw process is complete, the board then initiates a public tender or public bidding process to complete the sale. Overall the school district is seeking ex-
pressions of interest for the purchase or long-term lease of 13 school district owned properties around the area including 100 Mile Jr. Secondary and the McLeese Lake school. Currently, only Kwaleen Elementary School has been rented. Although Thiessen says the board is still
looking for expressions of interest in the school, it is set to become a daycare next year. The short-term leases of schools in the district does not require permission from the ministry to go ahead. The submissions must be received by the secretary treasurer by Friday, July 26.

Public invited to view community forest application The Williams Lake Indian Band and the City of Williams Lake held a drop-in session at the Esler soccer fields’ clubhouse on June 24 for interested public to view and ask questions about changes to the Williams Lake Community Forest application, management plan and business plan. “The changes were made in response to the input received at the April 22 Open House,” said Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Ann Louie. “We were pleased to receive so much input, and we believe these changes address what we heard and serve to strengthen and improve the

community forest application.” “The Community Forest partners heard clearly that we need to be more transparent, so we held the dropin session to make the application package, management plan, and business plan publicly available,” said Mayor Kerry Cook. The application package has been posted at http://williamslakec o m m u n i t y fo r e s t . wordpress.com/draftsubmission/. One of the key changes is the commitment to create a standing committee of the community forest’s board of directors. The standing commit-
tee will be established collaboratively and made up of people who have strong community and resource interests. It will play an integral role in ensuring there is meaningful consultation with those who have an interest in the management of the community forest areas. The standing committee will identify issues and make recommendations directly to the board of directors. In turn, the board must respond and explain how the issues and recommendations are being handled. There will be a collaborative process to establish the standing
committee. The city and band have re-affirmed their commitment to contribute five per cent of the net profit from the community forest to fund community projects through a grant program, and will rely on the recommendations of the standing committee to decide on the distribution of the funds. Archaeological sites, economic activity, respect for traditional medicines and foods, stewardship and local assets such as trails and green spaces have all been added to the list of 24 community values identified in the application. As stated values,
these will be addressed in the community forest’s plans. This is important because the management plans establish the objectives by which all of the community forests’ other plans and operations must abide. A salvage program will focus on the harvest of damaged and infested timber as the first priority for logging. This program will require the services of small-scale logging contractors. Making sure the community forests are healthy and productive is definitely one of the partners’ key objectives.

Service clubS invited to 85th birthday event Meeting March 15, 2014 will be the City of Williams Lake’s 85th birthday. Monday night in Council Chambers members of local service clubs gathered together to discuss how to celebrate the upcoming event. A consensus was drawn by the group and a second meeting is set for Monday July 29, 2013 at 6 p.m. in the downstairs Rick Hansen boardroom at City Hall to determine a theme and establish a calendar of events. Representation from local service clubs and organizations are welcome to attend the second planning meeting to contribute feedback and ideas. Rather than asking local service clubs and organizations to commit to another event on top of what they already annually host for the community it is hoped that all the groups can work together under the same theme next year to celebrate the City’s birthday. Currently the proposed idea is a theme of peace and harmony in our community. Potentially March 15, 2014 will be the kick off date followed by monthly events hosted by different groups working together under one theme. Ideas for events are: a birthday tea, carnival, family barn dance, wagon rides, fireworks, Snowbirds, casino/dance, reunion of pioneers, and First Nations games tournament.

Risk response ironic and and bizarre “It strikes me as bizarre that when discussing terrorist threats, no scenario is so far-fetched that law enforcement and the public purse should not be engaged to av e r t m i n iscule French risks. Connection “But Diana French in our day to day lives, m o r e probable and larger risks are ignored because they fall under an area of economic-profitability.” Elizabeth May MP Green Party. Strikes me as bizarre too, especially as the federal government can’t account for $3.1 billion dollars of its anti-terrorist funding. Ms. May says the mania against regulation (stream-lining, fasttracking, industry self-regulation) needs to be replaced with a commitment to public safety and environmental protection. Her comments were triggered by the train disaster in Megantic, Quebec, but the move to deregulate really does affect our daily lives. Her comments came as Peter Kent, dubbed by many as “Canada’s Worst Environment Minister Ever” was being replaced by Leona Aglukkoq. As minister, Mr. Kent spent as much time getting rid of environmental safeguards as he did protecting the environment, accused tar sands opponents of treason and called environmentalists “eco-terrorists.” Like disgraced senators Mike Duffey and Pamela Wallin, Mr. Kent was formerly a well-known journalist. An interesting trio. The last time around, the fate of the Prosperity Mine rested with Environment Minister Jim Prentice, who rejected it. Now its up to Ms. Aglukkoq. *** Coun. Danica Hughes, has taken on the task of co-ordinating plans for the city’s 85th birthday next year. Why celebrate the 85th? Why not? It will be a reason for local groups to work together to show the world, well, maybe just the province, that we are a city to be proud of.

You can fight big brother You can fight big brother, and win, it turns out. That sound you heard Thursday was the shouts of joy from some 60,000 BC Hydro customers who emerged victorious after fighting against the installation of smart meters in their homes, crying foul about potential health hazards and privacy invasion. On Thursday, the provincial government announced those hold-out customers can elect to keep their analog meters until they break down—or their accuracy seal expires—or they can receive a digital meter with its transmission function turned off.
But retaining the analog meter or getting a declawed smart meter will come with a price, roughly $20 per month to read the meter, as well as $100 to have a deactivated smart meter installed. Smart meter opponents have long questioned the potential adverse health effects of the new meters, with some claiming the meters are an invasion of privacy as it also gathers data about power use during various parts of the day. Others objected to having the smart meter shoved down their throats. Now the question is whether the 1.8 million custom-

ers who did have smart meters installed, regret not having fought harder against the tech change. Judging from the volume of emails and phone calls The Richmond Review has received, this one shapes up to be another case similar to the introduction of the HST. For many people, it’s not about the smart meters or the tech they employ, but the manner in which it was introduced. And certainly, the province probably realized this was going to be a case of where it could not win the public relations battle.

Did you know that this week is Good Neighbour Week here in our province? By proclamation of our Lieutenant Governor, July 21 to 28 is officially Good Neighbour Week in B.C., and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the spirit of community MLA than by Musings recognizCoralee Oakes ing the importance of having a friendly, caring, helpful neighbour. In big cities today, many people don’t have that same connection with their neighbours, and the sense of community is missing. Luckily, here in the Cariboo, most people are still on a first name basis with their neighbours, and are happy to lend a helping hand. My family moved to the Cariboo in the 1930s and I was raised on stories about how important neighbours were for survival, especially during the early years. My grandma met her future husband when the Oakes dropped off vegetables to the new Mufford homesteaders. Being good neighbours is part of our heritage, and I hope we never lose that close connection as our cities and towns grow. It’s one of the things that I love about our region, and it is becoming more important than ever – as our population gets older, we will need to support our neighbours, and rely on them, to keep living at home as long as possible. What makes a good neighbour? It can be a lot of things. Good neighbours reach out to people when they are in need, and help them out when they are having problems. They are sincere and considerate, kind and caring. They respect each other, and each other’s privacy. Most of all, they create a friendlier, more peaceful, and compassionate community. If you have some great neighbours, let them know you care during Good Neighbour Week – maybe get together for a summer barbecue, and enjoy the lovely weather we’ve been having. I hope you have a good neighbour week! Coralee Oates is Cariboo North MLA and culture minister.

Plan ahead for new recycling regulation Many B.C. businesses will be affected by a new recycling regulation that comes into force in B.C. on May 19, 2014. The regulation imposes fees on any B.C. business that produces packaging, flyers, or any other printed materials that end up in residential recycling bins (blue boxes). Businesses affected by this regulation will span from large retailers down to “Mom and Pop” retail operations. If your company is a producer of this “Packaging and Printed Paper (PPP),” you are required to have an approved product stewardship plan. As a producer, you may appoint a stewardship agency to undertake your duties.

Piecemakers create quilts for Alberta flood victims Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer For the many who lost their homes to the Alberta floods in June, rebuilding their homes and lives may take years. The Cariboo Piecemakers Quilt Club, however, is doing their part to make that process a little bit easier by joining quilters across Canada making beautiful quilts to send to Alberta to help those who have been displaced by the flooding. “We just want to help,” said club president Rilla Warwick. “We’re quilters and this is what we enjoy doing. I don’t think
there is anyone in B.C. who doesn’t have friends and family in Alberta.” The quilters in Williams Lake are just creating the decorative quilt tops. Later these will be sent to My Sewing Room, a Calgary store that will put the batting in and finish the quilts. When the quilts are finished, the store will also take care of dispersing them to those in need. As of last Wednesday morning, the club had made 15 quilt tops and had many more on the go. “We were really, really lucky. Ibea’s craft store gave us the number of their supplier
Trend-Tex so we contacted them and they donated a whole box full of beautiful fabric,” said Warwick. Around 12 quilters had helped make the quilts finished by Wednesday morning and more were expected to join as the day progressed. “People have been awesome about giving up their time,” said Warwick, adding that if anyone is heading to Calgary and has room for a box of quilts in their trunk to let her know. “We just want those who lost their homes to feel good. These are comfort quilts,” she said. “It tells them that people care.”
Need for respect reinforced by city Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Anyone interacting with city hall in Williams Lake can expect to be treated with respect. That’s the gist of a new respectful workplace declaration created by staff that was endorsed by city council last week. The declaration says whether a person is an employee, elected official or member of the public, that person has the right to a climate of understanding and mutual respect. “The challenges over the past few
months have highlighted the need to attend to our corporate culture in a more intentional way,” executive assistant Heather Silvester noted in a report to council. “We have established a Respectful Workplace Advisory Committee which is dedicated to creating a respectful workplace through education and engagement. The objective is to inspire people and to engage our employees to join in helping to create a workplace where all our interactions are conducted with respect and professionalism.” Chief administra-
tive officer Darrell Garceau said: “It’s just the first step of many positive initiatives that will be undertaken,” he said. Silvester said a respectful workplace committee was formed and the committee’s first task was to create a declaration that could be placed in all city buildings. “The next step will be the adoption of a respectful workplace program comprised of monthly topics aimed to educate and engage staff participation. Throughout this process we will conduct surveys to gage the effectiveness of our program.”

Yellow ribbon campaign helps dogs and owners Not all dogs are friendly. If you have a not so cuddly dog, who might just snap at a child or pick a fight with another dog, you can warn people by put-
ting a yellow ribbon on your dog’s leash when you are out for a walk. “It’s a win, win situation for everyone,” says dog trainer Don Evans who is promot-
ing the yellow ribbon program. He says the ribbon doesn’t have to be fancy, a pieces of yellow ribbon or flagging tape will do. Evans notes the yel-
low ribbon is an indicator for others that the dog should not be approached. “If you see a dog with a yellow ribbon or something yellow on the leash, this is a
dog that needs some space,” Evans says. “Do not approach the dog or its owner with your dog.” He says the yellow ribbon is an indicator that the dog needs
some space for a variety of reasons: because it is in training, is a senior citizen, or has health issues that require a little extra space. The dog may also
be a rescue dog that is being rehabilitated, or simply be unfriendly. For more information on the Yellow Ribbon Dog Campaign contact Don Evans at 250-989-1234.

Maintaining fluids/carbs important while training for Tour de Cariboo Brittany Klingmann Special to The Tribune While training for the Tour de Cariboo, food and fluid intake are very important, especially when you are out on longer rides. Dehydration is a gradual effect. For every increment of fluid loss there is a small rise in your body temperature and heart rate, and an increase in the perception of how hard you are working. Skills and concentration are also impaired. In other words, as the fluid deficit grows, there is a continual decline in performance. You may be unaware of the subtle changes at first and only begin to notice when it is too late. Optimal performance means being at your best, not just escaping serious problems. Staying well hydrated and fed during training and on race day will allow you to enjoy the experience. Minimizing dehydration is one step towards achieving your performance and/or fitness goals, particularly when you are exercising in hot weather. Now what does that mean? How much should you eat or drink? Ideally everyone should drink to keep pace with his or her sweat losses while exercising. This means replacing fluids throughout the period of activity. Water is a cheap and readily available fluid, and is often quoted to be the “best” drink for active people.
The Tour de Cariboo is always a popular event with lakecity cyclists. If you choose to stay hydrated with water, you want to drink little but often (between 2448 oz. per hour). For food, carbohydrate intake is known to improve performance during events of longer than 90 minutes, by providing the muscles and brain with extra fuel. Recently a number of studies have shown that carbohydrate intake may also be of benefit for a workout of as little as one hour. It certainly won’t harm performance, although some individuals may need to count the cost or the calories involved. Sports drinks provide a simple and effective way to replace fluid and carbohydrate simultaneously during exercise. Of course, specialized products such as sports drinks are expensive and are best used in the right sporting situation. Some people use foods such as fruit, energy or granola bars, or sandwiches to provide a fuel
boost during exercise. A carbohydrate intake of about 50g per hour is generally recommended for prolonged events (that equates to approximately 200cal/ hour). Successful strategies are ultimately decided by individual preferences and experience. Examples of 50g carbohydrate snacks include: 750 mL sports drink 500 mL fruit juice or soft drink 250 mL of liquid meal supplement (eg. Ensure) 250 mL fruit smoothie, three medium pieces of fruit honey or jam sandwich 60g packet of jelly beans You want to be sure to not consume too much carbohydrate too quickly as the intestines can only process so much at one time and overdoing it can lead to stomach upset. Be sure to practice through training so you are sure you know what works

Glendale hosts farewell open house Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer Last week Glendale, the last of the Williams Lake schools slated for closure, held an open house for parents, students and former teachers of the school. For Maria Lepetich it was an opportunity for one last visit to the school which she both attended and worked. Lepetich, who was a Calabrese at the time, and five of her siblings attended the school between 1965 and 1980. She later worked at the school during the summer and as a teacher-librarian for 10 years. Her mother, Adriana Calabrese, also learned English at the school, during after-hour classes designed for new Canadians. “As students, we were under principal Hazel Huckvale. She ran the school with a lot of discipline and high expectations. She always believed if there was good order things would run smoothly,” Lepetich said, reminiscing about when she attended Glendale. During her late teens, Lepetich returned to the school during the summer to help at a summer transitional school for new Canadians. She recalls working hard to convince newly immigrated families to let their children go camping to help immerse them in Canadian culture. Later, when she returned to the school as a teacher-librarian in 1993, Lepetich recalls enjoying the sports days where families would pull out blankets and have picnics in the playground. “With Glendale it always had such great community and parent support,” she said. Now a teacher and librarian at 150 Mile Elementary School, Lepetich says she understands the need for change in the school district and the closure of the school, but visiting Glendale during its last days has brought up many emotions for her. “Of course, it’s extremely sad anytime a school closes, but buildings and books are just that, buildings and books. The memories won’t fade,” she said. “It just makes me very emotional coming and remembering all the great things that happened here. It’s not so much the physical building.” The school is closing as part of the way School District 27 is saving money as enrolment numbers fall along with Ministry of Education funding. Among other cost-saving measures, four schools are closing this year, Kwaleen and Glendale in Williams Lake, and Buffalo

RCMP musical ride delights audience Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer
The RCMP Musical Ride delighted audience and dignitaries alike when they performed at the Stampede Grounds last Thursday evening. The performance was a stunning example of horsemanship with 32 riders and horses performing detailed and intricate movements. RCMP riders wore their bright red serge which stood out against the beautiful and elegant dark horses. Many, if not most, of the riders have no experience with horses before being chosen to go into training for the ride. All the riders are RCMP members who volunteer for duty with the musical ride. That duty can last as long as three years. During the first year riders are trained and evaluated on their horsemanship skills, and a certain number are asked to come back to take intermediate horsemanship and ride as part of the touring RCMP Musical Ride. After their three years with the ride, the RCMP members return to active duty with the RCMP. For Jeremy Tipper, a second year rider with the Musical Ride, touring has been an amazing experience. “We’ve got to do some great things around Canada,” he said, adding that many of the RCMP members who join try to carry on
living with horses after they finish their duty on the ride. “It’s a lifestyle with most of us.” He was paired with his horse, Tess, halfway through the training period. He said he was interested in joining because he had grown up on a farm, although he had never rode, and that his grandfather had been a chuck wagon racer. “In a way I am living on his legacy,” he said. It’s not always easy being on the road or working with animals, however. “Everything is challenging because it is a different site for the horses everywhere you go,” Tipper said. In addition to perfor-
mances, RCMP riders are responsible for feeding and watering the horses, grooming them and mucking out stalls. It’s a 24 hour job for the men and women of the ride. The horses, specially bred and trained by the RCMP since 1939 are selected for their calm temperament, stamina and dark colour. Members of the public got to visit with the horses on Wednesday evening, throughout the day Thursday and after the evening performance. The 2013 Musical Ride has been on tour since May, starting with performances in Northern Ontario, and now working their way through British Colum-

EUReKa Science Camp on the road to Williams Lake This summer the EUReka! Science Program is coming to Williams Lake from August 6 to 9, says city recreation programmer Suzanne Cochrane. The program is for kids ages nine to 14. EUReKA! is a nonprofit, student-run organization based out of Thompson Rivers University Kamloops that strives to increase elementary students’ interest in and excitement towards science and engineering and
to help teachers bring science into the regular classroom. EUReKA! camps emphasize fun, challenging, hands-on, problem solving activities where kids will be to do Crazy Chemistry, unBelievable Biology, Exciting Engineering and Funky Physics. “I was very excited that they could bring their travel camp to Williams Lake,” Cochrane says. “For their travel camp they take all
their best projects they do at TRU in Kamloops to various communities throughout the Interior of BC. “We are very fortunate to host them and need families to register by July 26 so we meet the minimum number of campers required.” The cost is $169 for four days of science fun from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. To register call the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex at 250-398-7665.

TRU developing new essential skills training program Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer Thompson Rivers University is developing a program that features new ways to teach essential skills to those in the forestry, manufacturing, construction and mining sectors as well as First Nation bands around the area. The Cariboo Chilcotin Skills Training program is a new initiative put on by TRU with funding from the Labour Market Agreements. The program is built to teach participants essential skills through programming that is interesting, useful and doesn’t feel like school. There are nine essential skills that people need for their everyday life and work, explained one of the co-ordinators for the program, Betty Turatus. The most common ones are reading, document use, writing, numeracy and computer use, she continued. The other essential skills include oral communication, thinking skills, working with others and continuous learning. “Take a heavy equipment operator at Tolko that is driving the loader. You would not think that reading text would be one of the top essential skills for them, but it is. Document use is the second, and numeracy is another one, because with that particular
job, even though that person is driving all day he has to be able to read, he has to be able to do his recheck of his machinery, he may have to check in on a time sheet, and he has to know the formula of what he can carry in his grapple in order to not tip over his machine,” said Turatus. “For employers, people that increase their essential skills, their very basic essential skills, reduces the accidents that happen because they can actually read the safety posters or bulletins,” continued Turatus. She also explained that teaching essential skills reduces company loss because it teaches numeracy for counting money back, or document use to fill out ordering forms correctly. Unique to this program is the way the university will go about teaching the essential skills. The first step, said Turatus, is to talk with the organization or the band about what essential skills they want their workers to learn. Second, Turatus or other co-ordinators will talk with the workers individually and ask them what they want out of the program. “It could be that they just all want to have their Grade 12,” said Turatus, adding that many other people in the program are working to obtain their safety certificates. After having worked
CRD helps fund grant writing workshops The Cariboo Regional District board has authorized up to $350 in grant-writing workshop funds to be shared equally between the Electoral Areas D, F, G, H, and L. The director initiative funds cover the cost of coffee and tea service plus two lunches for the facilitator at the grantwriting workshops to be held in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House in August. The Northern Interior Communities Association (NICA) works with non-profit
organizations in northern B.C. to write and submit successful grant applications to the British Columbia Community Gaming Grant program. The Cariboo Regional District has partnered with the NICA over the past two years to bring their workshop to the Cariboo through the Community Grant Writer program. In 2012, approximately 60 people attended and successful applications and appeals to the gaming grant program were submitted.
out the needs of both the organization and the participants, coordinators find ways of ensuring that what the participant wants to do or learn will teach essential skills as well. “It is perhaps something like a hockey camp,” said Turatus. “Because at a hockey camp you have to work with others, there’s going to be theory in it so you have to do reading, writing. There may be
numbers in there, you have to learn how to schedule things. We take something that is important to them, that they see as relevant and put the essential skills into it.” Turatus also explained that things like a nutrition and cooking course can help increase the essential skills because it requires participants to use computers to look up or type recipes, it
teaches numeracy for measuring and literacy in order to read a recipe. “A lot of people who have low essential skills probably did not have a good school experience for whatever reason,” she said. “We try to find ways to do this essential skills training that will be interesting and relevant to the student.” Participants must be working or have not
been on employment insurance during the past three years as well as have low essential skills determined by an assessment to qualify for the program. After determining if someone is eligible to participate, coordinators work individually with that person to develop a training plan. Participants must commit to 200 hours of training, which may seem like a lot, said Tu-
ratus, but each individual plan is scheduled to fit around work and family lives. “It’s all about the participant. It’s about their schedule, its about what they need and its about what they want and how best we can get it for them,” she said. Those interested in seeing if they are eligible for the program are invited to call the grants office at TRU at 250-392-8057.
