Work moves A spectacular flyby along on S. Lakeside The installation of new stormwater works continued last week on South Lakeside Drive and a fire hydrant has been installed. Next week’s work schedule includes installation of catch basins, stripping work along fill slopes, and work on curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. The public is reminded that the portion of South Lakeside Drive between the Cariboo Adventist Academy and Hodgson Road is a construction area, and rough patches of road are to be expected. The contractor is regularly working on grading and repairing rough areas, but patience is requested because the high volume of traffic causes road condition to deteriorate quickly. Motorists are also reminded to obey the posted 30 km/h speed limit. Greg Sabatino photo

Thursday evening’s spectacular lightning show, felt throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre, resulted in 29 lightning-caused wildfires overnight throughout the region. “They are all just spot fires, the largest one is 0.2 hectares so they’re all pretty small,” CFC fire information officer Greig Bethel told the Tribune Friday morning. While thousands of lightning strikes caused the new wildfires, most of the lightning was accompanied by precipitation that helped keep fires small in size, the biggest at 0.2 hectares, Bethel said. On Friday Wildfire Management Branch crews, with air tankers, helicopters and other equipment were actioned to battle the new blazes.

Panel requested to summon Taseko’s boss to attend community hearings Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Before the closing of the topic-specific session at the federal review panel hearings for the New Prosperity Mine Thursday, Tsilhqot’in National Congress member Fanny Stump asked the panel to summon the board chair of Taseko Mines Ltd. to attend the community hearings taking place in First Nations communities. “Issues have arisen through these hearings that require the presence of the ultimate mandate and authority person from Taseko Mines Ltd. to clarify and commit to,” Stump said.

The final day of federal review panel topic-specific hearings in Williams Lake closed with the usual First Nations closing ceremony. “We hereby request that the panel chair direct and if necessary summon the chairman of the board of Taseko Mines to be present and accountable when the panel hearing sessions move to Tsilhqot’in Tribe
Dene Indian Bands next week.” Her request was addressed in section 2.5 of the public hearings procedures, Fanny told the panel. Taseko’s legal counsel Karl Gustafson said Taseko will have
to take the request away and find out if there is any chance, logistically and otherwise, whether the chair would be available to attend on short notice. Seeking clarity, Gustafson also asked
if the chair was going to be subjected to a cross-examination and grilling, or otherwise. “I’m a biological mother and he is a parent company,” Stump responded. Gustafson said Taseko would consider the request. Panel chair Bill Ross said the panel would deal with her request when the hearings resume Tuesday, Aug. 6 in Xeni Gwet’in at the community band hall. The community hearings will run in Xeni Gwet’in Aug. 6-8. On Friday, Aug. 9 the panel will participate in a site tour of Fish Lake and the proposed mine area.
Continued From Page A1 Crews also used a patrol plane sent to monitor the far-flung areas of the CaribooChilcotin for any further wildfires.
“We received numerous reports of wildfires and would like to thank the public for helping us out by reporting these,” Bethel said. These lightning storms and the result-
ing wildfires serve as a reminder that continued vigilance is required in preventing person-caused fires and lets the Wildfire Management Branch focus its efforts on naturally occurring fires.
Despite the accompanying precipitation, the fire danger rating in the Cariboo Fire Centre is still high with areas of extreme, and the campfire ban and open burning prohibition remain in effect.

Dry July one for the record books Tom Fletcher Black Press Not a drop of rain was recorded at Vancouver and Victoria airports during July, the first time that has happened since Environment Canada began keeping rainfall records in 1937. Much of the rest of B.C. also had an unusually dry month, with numerous local records falling. Williams Lake airport recorded 1.6 mm of rain during the entire month, while communities in the northwest had only

occasional showers. Provincial bans on all open burning including campfires took effect Thursday in the Kamloops and Coastal fire districts, covering most of southern and central B.C. The ban covers coastal areas except Haida Gwaii and the designated “fog zone” along the west coast of Vancouver Island. Fire bans apply to open fires of any size, including those with permits, as well as industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches and burn barrels.
Motorcycle and car collide Friday
Camp stoves that use propane or briquettes are still allowed. The ban took effect as rain showers were forecast for many areas of B.C. The B.C. government’s wildfire management branch says lightning is expected over the next week in the coastal region. Provincial fire restrictions cover all private and Crown land, including parks, but not within the boundaries of local governments that have fire departments, which establish local restrictions.

Changes to fisheries act undemocratic: Donnelly Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Before heading up to Mount Robson to embark on a three-and-a half week paddle of the Fraser River, NDP MP Fin Donnelly stopped in Williams Lake to meet with constituents Wednesday and talk about fisheries. Donnelly is participating in the Rivershed Society of B.C.’s Sustainable Living Leadership Program trip on the Fraser River, along with Horsefly resident Marin Patenaude. As deputy fisheries and oceans critic, Donnelly said fisheries is an important issue right across the country. “We’ve got pipeline proposals and other big project proposals that will put fish at risk.” He hears regularly from the commercial and recreational fish-
ing industry and said there are a lot of values Canadians want to see protected. “Obviously they want to see jobs and they want to see a strong economy, but the question is at what cost?” Fish is a value that is very important to all Canadians and changes to the Fisheries Act have created uncertainty, he said. “It’s created a lot of unknowns for large projects and small projects. While the law has changed, the regulations haven’t been enacted yet, so they are still consulting on trying to get the new regulations in place.” He said his understanding is the proposed New Prosperity Mine would be guided by the old act. Referencing the Cohen Commission Report on fisheries released in 2012 ,

Deputy fisheries and oceans critic NDP MP Fin Donnelly talks fisheries in Williams Lake. Donnelly said there has been “absolutely” nothing but silence from the federal government so far. “One of the recommendations Cohen put out is that we need to have a strong mandate for science to understand what’s going on. If you talk to others, they’ll say we know what the issues are and we need to address them.”
The problem, he said, is the federal government is gutting legislation that protects fish. By forcing Fisheries and Oceans Canada to lay off the number of staff it has, it has “handcuffed” the department from doing its job. “It will be an impossible task to protect fish,” he said. “On top of that, the federal government is hell-bent on getting oil from Alberta
into the market abroad and that’s a recipe for disaster for fish and our environment in general.” There are some Conservatives who are very concerned about the fishery, he added. “The question is whether they will have the guts to speak out against the iron grip the PMO has on them.” Many changes, including the fisheries act, have been packed into the Omnibus Bill, that were devastating. “Some of the backbenchers and Conservative members I talked to were not happy about that and they did speak out initially and were quickly reigned in.” The fact that Bill C-38 changed 69 laws was outrageous, Donnelly said. “There has never been a bill of that size that has affected so
many pieces of legislation in one fell swoop.” The Fisheries Act is one of Canada’s strongest pieces of legislation and successive parliaments have tried to change it, but each time they’ve tried they haven’t been able to because of required consultation. “This time, instead of going in and changing the act through public consultation, they said they weren’t going to do that, but were going to change one section of the act mainly habitat protection, and that was extremely problematic.” It was a strategically smart move because it avoided public scrutiny, it avoided the media, because “hugely significant” changes were bundled in a budget bill. “The national press focuses on the budget and along with that
is a suite of changes to a significant act like the Fisheries Act.” It was one of the most undemocratic moves in Canadian history, he added. “This is from a prime minister who when he was in opposition said omnibus bills are undemocratic by nature because not only can the public not comment on it, but the parliamentary process can’t happen because committees like the fisheries and oceans standing committee don’t have an opportunity to comment.” It went to a subcommittee of finance, Donnelly said. Donnelly is also the western economic diversification critic and said the NDP under Thomas Mulcair want to see value-added jobs and the environment protected.

Marijuana referendum tour hits Williams Lake Thursday Williams Lake is among 32 Interior towns the marijuana referendum tour plans to visit in 10 days. Sensible BC director Dana Larsen will be at Boston Pizza in Williams Lake at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 8. Larsen is embarking on a whirlwind tour, visiting 32 towns in 12 days to promote the campaign for a marijuana referendum. “We need volunteers and canvassers in every community,” Larsen said. “My goal is to meet local supporters and register them as canvassers so they can collect signatures this fall.” Larsen has prepared legislation called The Sensible Policing
Tribune file photo
Marijuana activist Dana Larsen will visit Williams Lake Thursday to promote the campaign for a marijuana referendum. Act, which would effectively decriminalize marijuana by stopping B.C. police from making searches or arrests for simple pos-
session. The law also calls upon the federal government to repeal marijuana prohibition, so that BC can legally regulate its
cultivation and sale. The proposed law has been accepted by Elections BC, and Larsen will have 90 days to collect sig-
natures from 10% of the registered voters in every electoral district, beginning September 9. These 400,000 signatures can only be collected by people who have first registered as a canvasser. “It’s easy to register as a canvasser,” said Larsen. “It just takes two minutes to fill out the form for Elections BC. I bring the forms with me, but people can also easily do it online. We will need at least 5,000 canvassers to have a good chance of success. If you’ve always dreamed of legalization, this is your chance to help make history!” See all the Interior tour dates here: http:// tinyurl.com/sensitour.

The B.C. government finished the last fiscal year with a deficit of $1.15 billion, according to the audited public accounts released in July. That’s up from $968 million that was projected as the deficit last year, an indication of the difficult task facing the government to balance the budget in the current year. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the government reduced its spending $668 million in the fiscal year ended March, compared to what was budgeted. But resource revenues, mostly natural gas, were down $1.1 billion from the 2012 budget. Health care spending was up $585 million, education spending rose $300 million and social services spending went up $50 million compared to 2011-12.
Total program spending increase 2.6 per cent, higher than the target of two per cent de Jong has set for this year.
Deficits and continued spending on capital projects pushed the province’s total debt up $5.6 billion to $55.8 billion.
“We’ve seen the largest debt increase in the history of British Columbia,” NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said.
“And this is a government that ran around during the election campaign saying it’s going to be debt-free B.C.”

NEWS Cancer survivor and cyclist touring British Columbia Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer Randolph Westphal is a survivor. Despite being diagnosed with malignant melanoma (skin cancer) in 1987, the 55-year-old German man is working on completing his sixth world tour by bicycle. At the time he diagnosed he was given six months to a year to live. Since that time he has survived 28 cancer surgeries — four of them life threatening — and a near fatal crash that landed him in hospital for five years. Today, Westphal, accompanied by his dogs Nanook and Chinook, is cycling the same distance it would take to travel around the world through B.C., the Yukon and back down into the U.S. Westphal completed his first world tour shortly after he was diagnosed with cancer. He was awarded a Guiness World Record for the longest bicycle trip with dogs on a trip that took him from Colorado Springs to Alaska and back. So why is he doing it? Westphal says he is working to raise cancer awareness and deliver a message of hope. “When I’m talking with other cancer patients and they find hope in my story, then for me it’s the best thing that I can do,” he said. Westphal has worked hard to get here. During a tour of Argentina in 1996 he was hit by a vehicle on a highway and left in a ditch. Doctors had to rebuild his leg after his foot was nearly detached and Westphal, having lost much of his memory, his ability to speak and his mobility, was told he would likely never walk again. “I like to show people never give up,” he said. The accident also killed his first dog, Shir Khan. Nanook

Randolph Wetphal, cancer survivor, is cycling throughout B.C. in order to complete his sixth world tour. Westphal travels alone except for his two dogs, Nanook and Chinook. and Chinook are Shir Khan’s descendants and they ride on a special cart pulled behind the bike. “For me, my dogs are everything. My life, my security guards, my friends and my family,” he said. Helped by donations and rooms donated by hotels, Westphal is currently working his way through Terrace and towards Prince Rupert. When he gets there he will hop on the first ferry to leave, no matter which direction it is heading, north or south. Along the way he hopes to visit cancer patients, support groups and get his message out to those in need. He encourages anyone to stop by his hotel rooms or visit with him if they see him on the road. Westphal estimates that his trip will take him another two years to finish, however he is not sure he will make it because of his knees. Still, Westphal will continue as long as he can to spread his message. “I always say to people don’t sit in the corner and wait for your death. Open your eyes and lift up your head. The world is beautiful. You must do what you like to do,” he said.

wish the city had just kept quiet about Prosperity Mine until the CEAA panel had done its job. Along with “Partnering with First Nations,” the 10 strategic priorities in the Williams Lake Official Community Plan include 11 pages of “Creating our FutureCherished Ecosystems.” ( See the city website.) It begins: “The health and well being of the community is closely linked to the health and well-being of our natural environment including lands and water bodies both within and outside our city. Clean air, soil, water, and healthy local ecosystems underlie our health and well being, and atFrench t r a c t Connection people Diana French to live, w o r k a n d visit and invest in our city. To be good stewards of our environment means working with our community so that we do not systematically undermine nature’s ability to continue providing the natural resources and ecosystem services upon which all life depends. “By protecting and preserving existing natural areas, their biodiversity and ecological functions,we will ensure a healthy ecosystem for the enjoyment of city residents, Protecting these natural areas can contribute to improving our social, economic, spiritual and physical health. and well being.” I was among city residents who were pleased when council realized there was value in our natural resources besides digging them up or chopping them down. It came as a something of a surprise when council began promoting the latest mine proposal. And therein lies the dilemma. As a city, are we saying we’ll protect and preserve the natural areas within our boundaries, but we don’t care what happens in the Chilcotin? Are we saying it’s OK if we systematically undermine nature as long as it’s happening in someone else’s back yard? Nobody knows how the three wise men on the panel will decide. They have many points to ponder. My question is, if they reject the proposal, will the city (and CRD) lobby the federal government to let the mine proceed?

Legalize pot, save health care There’s a reverse echo going on around the country. Whenever Liberal leader Justin Trudeau says something, his comments are invariably followed by a response, usually snide, from the Prime Minister’s Office, in other words, Stephen Harper. Last week, Trudeau was in B.C. and he spoke for the decriminalization of marijuana. Not surprisingly, the PMO came out chastising Trudeau for his comments. Why not? Harper has nurtured a tough on crime reputation. To the Conservative government’s credit crime across Canada appears to be on the decrease, according to Stats Canada data released last week. Interestingly enough, statistics for marijuanarelated offences are on the rise and began rising at about the time Harper and the Conservatives won their first minority government.

Coincidence? The point is, the Conservative government, previous governments and the U.S. federal and state governments have tried to put the lid on marijuana cultivation, distribution and use. The end result has been a very expensive failure. Estimates of the annual value of the marijuana economy vary, but let’s pick a conservative $10 billion. If marijuana were legalized, the federal government could keep $9 billion and pass $1 billion off to health care, education or social housing. What about endangered species, the coast guard or infrastructure upgrades? It’s time to rethink the approach to the war on drugs, legalizing marijuana would be a profitable and useful first step. - Penticton Western News

Dubious distinction just a small Comments made in part of town Editor: Have you noticed when you watch the news, there are increasingly more incidents of violence on public transportation in the Lower Mainland? Some acts of violence are against the driver, some are against passengers, and sometimes they’re even against the bus or train. Williams Lake has, in the past, held the dubious honour of being the most crime-ridden city in B.C. I remember when I first started riding the bus, I’d sit at the bus stop wondering whether I’d feel safe or uncomfortable on the bus. I especially didn’t like finding out
that I’d have to transfer at Boitanio Park. Well, I’ve been riding the transit bus in Williams Lake for some time now. In order to get home, I ride through downtown, the northern part of the city, what we used to call Glendale, and the residential area, past schools and houses. I’ve met a few of the bus drivers now, and they’re very helpful and give a friendly greeting as I board the bus. There are many kinds of people who ride the bus in Williams Lake. Sometimes an adult will get on by him/her self, a family might get on, a mom and dad with their little
one in a stroller and even bicycle riders. As we ride along, people are chatting and laughing, some might be reading and others are enjoying the scenery. Whenever a passenger exits the bus, without exception, there’ll be a “thank you” to the driver, and perhaps even a “have a good evening.” Of course the driver responds in kind. I’ve had very positive experiences, waiting at the bus stop and riding the bus. I’ve met interesting people, even friends I hadn’t seen for ages. I recall one time, while I was sit-
ting waiting for the bus, a young aboriginal man was pushing vehicles for drivers who got stuck in the snow. When he finished pushing the last vehicle, he turned to me and asked if I was going to be okay sitting there waiting, by myself. I told him I would be, and I have to say I was very touched by his concern. I didn’t know him and he didn’t know me. We may have held that dubious title, however, my experience riding the bus has shown that’s only a very small part of Williams Lake.
Sechanalyagh. We have to take issue with Mr. Wilson’s criticism of our ancient drum songs, which come from this land, (unlike the bag pipes to which he refers). Our drum songs have been passed down for generations, just as responsibility for Teztan Biny has been passed down from one generation to the next. When we offer these songs at the panel hearings, we are calling on our ancestors who used the land, and also calling on our future generations.
We find it particularly concerning that Mr. Wilson appears to present an informed opinion about the facts of the New Prosperity proposal, but meanwhile is “not attending the review process” to learn about the science. This is disappointing because had he attended the technical hearings, he would have heard from several government agencies, among others, about serious environmental impacts and risks that this mine poses for the waters and life within Little Fish Lake (totally destroyed), wetlands around Nabas, Fish Lake, Big Onion Lake, Little Onion
than the original by destroying both Fish Lake and Little Fish Lake in the long run due to the fractured rock strata, never mind the fact that it’s still far too close to fish bearing headwaters, grizzly and wild horse habitat. Let’s also not forget about the micro dust particles of carcinogens polluting the local fauna and community of people who live in the area. So it doesn’t matter how many people vote for or against the mine. It doesn’t matter how many politicians are for or against the project. It doesn’t matter whether the people of Williams Lake support the project or not. Science isn’t a democracy, it’s an unforgiving dictator. Andrew Merritt Williams Lake

Lake, Wasp Lake, and even the Taseko River. It is sad that mine supporters like Mr. Wilson choose to dig their heads into the sand and willfully ignore the science. For just a few examples, this proposal was described by federal government presenters as an unproven ‘experiment’ that would turn an entire wilderness lake into an aquarium for the first time in human history, to require pumps to operate forever, to require a water treatment plant forever, and to impact the rights of the Tsilhqot’in to use this area well into the future, if not forever.
In fact, BC’s Ministry of Energy and Mines has filed a submission that concludes, “MEM believes that the project presents significant environmental risk”. This review Panel is mandated to assess the environmental impacts of the mine, and after hearing this past week from scientific experts about serious impacts and risks, and the entirely unproven proposal that is before us, we ask Mr. Wilson and others to ‘resolve the facts’ before they speak.

Science to be unforgiving dictator for mine hearings Editor: People ask, why the drumming? Psychologically speaking, studies show that the constant rhythmic sound calms infants in nurseries. Why? Because it mimics a mother’s heart beat. The practise is found worldwide in all early cultures. Generically it represents unification and the heart of a community. Which seems odd how some people make an issue out of it where there’s real issues that need to be addressed. Who has the right to use the resources of Fish Lake? Mining companies? The Shushwap? The Chilcotin people? Provincial government? The feds? Fact is, people often get caught up in mining

P.R. and confuse that with the actual economics. Just look at the market. Gold has bottomed out, the bubble has burst. Investors flee due to an influx of gold. Today there are 70 gold and copper mines vying to get permission to open up in B.C. alone this year. Many of them don’t have the same sensitive issues of Fish Lake and are less expensive nor as much as a gamble financially. God I wish people would do their research and not be blinded by propaganda as data isn’t hard to find. The silly childlike arguments that the Shushwap have more of a right is moot as land claims start when the B.C. government formed. During that time, the Chilcotin had overlapping shared borders anyway. Critics of the new mine say it’s actually worse
Editor: While I did not attend the meetings this past week as I was working, I have to comment on a few of the comments that were reported in your Tribune of July 25. First off I am non-native but my family has been in the Chilcotin since around 1885. I grew up in the Chilcotin and am betwixt and between on the Prosperity Mine project in the Xeni Gwet’in territory. I worked for the Ministry of Forests at Alexis Creek and went all through the Brittany Triangle court case and sided with the Xeni Gwet’in as they were promised to be consulted, and that failed miserably. I applauded Chief Roger William on his efforts at the time. Getting back to the article on the meetings: to the lady who stated she grew up in Sudbury. I have been through Sudbury around 30 years ago and, yes, I agree that it looked like a moonscape but that was nickel mining and also back in the 70s when I went through, but I am sure things have changed since then. Young people always leave for the bigger centres in search of jobs and other excitement. Nothing new. But the comment that really upset me is from Fanny Stump. Fanny, how could you even think that First Nations people (let alone say) that your people do not need Williams Lake? Where would you go for groceries, gas, doctors, dentists, etc.? There are probably more people living in Williams Lake from Anaham Reserve and living in subsidized housing and on welfare in town than probably live at Anaham, I am sure. I believe that Ervin Charleyboy is on the right track stating that it could be an improvement and opportunity to First Nations if the mine goes through and as long as Taseko sticks to the rules and regulations it would be prosperous for everyone. Stop and think about it, Fanny.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer With summer half over, people are beginning to plot school supply shopping. For many people the cost can be a burden so Staples is stepping in to offer its annual Staples for Students Campaign. “We’ll be collecting donations to go to the local school district,” Williams Lake Staples general manager Ryan Grove said. “Everything will go to local kids.” In past campaigns the store has raised just under $5,000. Donations have come from customers and community groups. “This year we’re going for $5,000,” Grove said. Once the money is raised it is in the hands of the school district to determine who can be helped. People needing assistance can contact the school district office to ask to be part of the program. “We set up an account at the store and allow for $40 increments per student,” Grove explained. Any money that’s left over after goes into gift cards for the school district to give out if it is contacted by a teacher or administrator at a school.

CCPL to host Family Fun Day at Bell-E-Acres
SPORTS NOTEBOOK Sunday, Aug. 11
Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy Family Fun Day
Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy are shooting for a hole-in-one on Aug. 11 when they host the first ever CCPL Family Fun Day at Bell-E-Acres. Bruce Mack, president of the CCPL, said the idea is to get as many parents and children out as possible to take advantage of the day. He added all of Bell-E-Acres will be open to the public for a ‘by donation’ fee. “We’re going to have a lot of stuff for the little kids,” Mack said. “The golf course, the mini golf — everything will be open.” On top of the golfing Mack said there will be putting and chipping contests, a story tent, crafts, face painting, bingo and other activities. “We’ve got some really big prizes, too,” Mack said, and added Heartland Toyota, Bell-EAcres and Spectra Power Sports have donated prizes to the event. “There will be a couple of holein-one prizes. There’s a $10,000 hole-in-one prize and another big prize to be determined from Spectra. There will be lots of prizes for everybody.” Mack said he hopes everyone can come out and enjoy the event and added all of the money raised through donations and a barbecue will go toward CCPL programs. In past years the CCPL has hosted an annual golf tournament at the Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club called the Literacy Scramble, but this year he said they wanted to do something different. “The Literacy Scramble was a huge commitment,” Mack said. “We thought this year it’ll reach a different audience and get some new families out. The idea is to reach the people who don’t get out and often don’t have a chance to take advantage of activities for the kids and get the parents and kids having fun together. Anybody can afford it, anybody can come out and have a good time.” The CCPL’S Family Fun Day goes from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Bell-E-Acres.
The Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy is teaming up with the staff at Bell-E-Acres for a Family Fun Day on Sunday, Aug. 11 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The par-three golf course, mini golf, putting and chipping competitions, face painting, a story tent and multiple prize giveaways will all be a part of the day. Admission is by donation with all of the proceeds going toward the CCPL’s various literacy programs in Williams Lake.

Williams Lake pro golfer Mitch Gillis is back healthy and training for this year’s Web.com Qualifying School event in October in Texas.
Gillis prepping for Q-school Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer It’s been a rough ride back to health, but Williams Lake professional golfer Mitch Gillis said he’s hungrier than ever to earn status at this year’s Web.com Tour Qualifying School event. But the 2007 B.C. amateur champion, who qualified once in 2011 for the final stage of PGA Tour Qualifying School, said the timing of his injuries couldn’t have come at a worse time. Last December Gillis tore his shoulder apart while working out in the gym. In June, just one week after he was cleared to pick up a golf club, he displaced some cartilage in a rib, leaving him on the shelf until just three days prior to the first Canadian Tour event of the season in Victoria. With no time to prepare for the tournament Gillis missed the cut, but his bad luck didn’t stop there. His next scheduled tournament in Calgary was cancelled due to the flooding, and he missed a cut in Saskatoon the following week.
Mitch Gillis Gillis’s prior support system — a five-year deal from 2008 to 2012, also came to a close this past December. “Basically with no form of funding this year I turned to a website called Rallyme.com, and I just launched a crowd funding rally to help me to pay the entry fee, travel costs, caddy fees and everything to help me get through Q-school this year,” Gillis said. Rallyme.com is a sports-oriented backing website used to help athletes raise funds from ‘backers’ to help achieve a given monetary
goal. Gillis chose a 45-day rally and is asking for $12,500. In exchange for backing an athlete backers then receive ‘givebacks’ depending on how much they decide they’d like to donate. “You can boost anywhere from $1 on up,” he said, and added some of his givebacks include an autographed photo, swing tip videos, personalized lessons, video lessons and sponsorship opportunities. And so far, in just six days, Gillis has raised 60 per cent of his goal — $7,376 — with 39 days left on his Q-school rally. “I’m healed up going full time here in Phoenix and trying to get this rally going and just spending time on the course the rest of the day,” he said. “I’m really excited to see how this rally turns out.” Gillis’s first round of play at Q-school will be held in Texas in October.

The Kidney Foundation will host its annual Kidney Walk in Williams Lake Sunday, Aug. 25. The walk will start in Boitanio Park at 9 a.m. The Kidney Walk raises funds for critical programs and services for British Columbians affected by kidney disease. The Kidney Walk also helps raise awareness about the seriousness of this disease and highlights the importance of organ donation. Thousands of volunteers and participants in 20 B.C. communities participate in Kidney Walks each year. The events feature live entertainment, prizes, fundraising barbecues, silent auctions and more. Kidney disease is a serious disease that has no cure. It is a disease that is both underrecognized and undetectable in its early stages.

Scheduled both in the day and early evening, the lessons run from Aug. 12-22 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. “These two-week intensive lessons provide optimal learning conditions for children and, let’s face it, learning to swim is important,” said Beth Holden, marketing and events coordinator for the city. “By enrolling your
children at a young age they quickly become comfortable in the water, avoiding fears that can develop as children get older.” Four national swimming organizations — Swimming Canada, the Canadian Red Cross, Lifesaving Society Canada and the Canadian Medical Association have partnered together to create Getswimming. ca, an attempt to teach Canadian children to swim with the goal of saving lives. “Here in Williams

Brittany Klingmann Special to The Tribune The details of a training program can be multifaceted and complicated. While it’s critical a training program is appropriately planned for a competitive cyclist, this can be overwhelming and intimidating for beginners when it doesn’t have to be. For those who are relatively new to cycling or just starting out, the important thing is that you are out there on a regular basis getting physical activity. Many health benefits can be achieved through regular moderate intensity physical activity including: decreased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, improved mental health, improved sleep and energy and it’s a great way to achieve your weight loss goals. Keeping this in mind, today’s article is going to touch on some basic training tips that will help you prepare for the 21st Annual Tour de Cariboo on Sept. 7, 2013. The first important piece of a training program is to be consistent! Aim for three to four days per week on the bike. Start slow and gradually build up to longer rides as your fitness allows. Shorter rides are usually easier to fit in during the week, while you can plan longer rides on the weekends. As a general rule — if you increase your weekly mileage or time spent on the bike by 10 per cent per week you are progressing at a

Also, schedule in one “recovery week” every month where you cut back on the longer rides to allow your body to adapt to the new stresses placed on it and prevent injury. For comfort while riding, try and change positions frequently and occasionally stand out of your saddle. You may even want to stretch your neck and roll your shoulders if they get stiff. To be most efficient and to assist with developing a good pedaling style, aim for a cadence (revolutions per minute, RPM) of between 80 to 100 RPM. If you have a heart rate monitor you will want to keep your heart rate between 65 to 80 per cent of your maximum heart rate during the first several weeks of your training. An easy way to calculate your estimated maximum heart rate is by using the following equation: 220 minus age equals maximum heart rate in beats per minute. Then multiply by .65 to get the lower range and by .80 to get
the upper range. For example, I am 30 years of age. So to calculate my estimated maximum heart rate is as follows: 220 - 30 = 190 / 190 x .65 = 123.5 (round up to 124) and 190 x .80 = 152. Therefore, my target heart rate range would be between 124-152 beats per minute. If you don’t have a heart rate monitor, or you are not all that keen about math — don’t worry, you can also use the talk test — which is an easy and convenient way to ensure you are working at the right intensity. If you are riding with a partner just make sure you are able to maintain a conversation (1-2 sentences at a time) without needing to pause or gasp for air. Once you have established a reasonable base — approximately 4 weeks of consistent riding, it will be a good idea to include some higher intensity work by doing some hill training as there are a few challenging hills to conquer during the ride. Sitting is the most
effective and efficient way to climb a hill. It’s important to change gears as needed at the bottom of the hill, transfer your weight forward on the saddle and lower your trunk over the handlebars. Attempt to keep your revolutions between 6080 RPM up the hill. If the hill is too steep or you need to change up the muscles you are working, change to one gear harder and stand out of the saddle and your cadence may drop slightly which is okay. Remember — the most important thing is that you have chosen to participate in the 21st Annual Tour de Cariboo — whether it is for fun, health, fitness or all of the above, so congratulations! If you still have not registered, don’t wait any longer, contact Williams Lake Big Brothers and Big Sisters by phone at 250-398-8391 or on-line at www. bbswlake.com to register today.

Missionaries maintain global connections Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer
You would never guess by looking at her that Janet Hicks came as close as it gets to being killed in the Ethiopian revolution that spawned the country of Eritrea. Janet was born in northern Ethiopia where her parents, George and Dorothy Middleton, worked for 25 years as missionaries providing famine relief. In 1974 civil war broke out in Ethiopia and the family was forced to flee the country. Janet was just 16 when the fighting began in earnest. Janet and her boyfriend, Eddy, who was half Ethiopian and half American, had driven out of the city to pick up some people at the airport. “While we were at the airport the first attack came … and we didn’t know it,” Janet said. “We heard the announcement that the plane had been cancelled, which wasn’t unusual, so we got in the car and we drove into the city. It’s a fair sized city. Nothing was moving. All the streetlights were out.” Janet and Eddy had two choices on how to get home: drive around and into where the rebels were located, or drive straight past the
army base. They chose the shortest route, past the army base. As the pair drove by the base in their Volkswagen mini-van the army opened fire on them. “What we didn’t realize is that while we were at the airport the rebels had made an attack on the army base,” Janet said. “It was kind of like when you are in a movie and it’s like slow motion. The first shot — there was a factory there — hit the wall. It was like my guardian angel just pushed me down to the floor of the car. The second bullet went through the window and into my seat and it would have hit me right about here,” Janet said, pointing to her chest. Narrowly escaping the bullets Janet’s boyfriend also dove to the floor of the van. “Up until that point it really was kind of silliness. I was thinking ‘Oh, I borrowed Amanda’s blouse and if I get killed in it she’ll be upset.’ But when Eddy came down I thought he was dead and it was just like a nightmare where you are trying to scream and you can’t.” After what seemed like an eternity of gunfire, Eddy and Janet reassured each other they were okay.
Eddy began to pray. “Everything stopped, almost with the word ‘amen,’” Janet said. Outside the van, the army had moved in with a tank and was preparing to fire on the vehicle. At this point, Janet said, the soldiers decided to check if anyone in the vehicle was still living. “When they pulled me out and saw that I was a foreigner they were all worried, I guess.” The soldiers deliberated on what to do with them. “They decided they were going to shoot us and say it was the rebels,” Janet said. At that moment three people came around the corner on bicycles. “A lot of people say they were guardian angels, but the soldiers just shot them. Just shot them,” she said. The distraction provided enough time for a message to come from one of the generals to leave the couple alive and bring them up to his office. “Eddy started off by saying, “’God saved us to tell you that he loves you,’” Janet said. She thought the words would spark their death. “The general just sat for a mo-
ment and goes, ‘I don’t have a better explanation. Nobody could have come out of that car alive.’” Although the couple escaped relatively unharmed that night, a little less than a month later Janet received a phone call from a journalist. “I have to write a story and they are accusing you of carrying guns for the rebels and that that’s why they fired on you,” he had said. “You have to get out of the country.” Five days later Janet left Ethiopia for good. Although she has wanted to go back, life events have prevented her from returning to her home country. Following their experiences in Ethiopia, Janet’s father started an organization to try and provide trained personnel for disaster relief areas. Her father wanted to train people so that their first experience wouldn’t be in a crisis. It would be in a cultural setting to see how the individuals interacted with other cultures and learned a new language, etc, before they actually got into a crisis situation where they were needed to go into instant action, Janet said.

Community pig roasts benefit local children LeRae Haynes
Special to The Tribune Williams Lake children and families have benefitted for 20 years from the dedication, hard work and generosity of people like local resident and Tolko employee Dale Martin. He does Saturday barbecue pig roasts for special occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, reunions, birthdays and retirement parties and donates all proceeds to local kids’ charities and organizations. Martin arrives in the morning of an event with a large propane rotisserie meat roaster on a trailer. Sometimes helped at these events by friend and Tolko co-worker Dave Sulymka, he said he picks up the pig, usually purchased from Save on Foods or Margett’s Meats and brings it with him. “We can also do beef, and can roast potatoes and corn and sometimes my wife Gloria makes salads,” he explained. “This all started years ago when my former foreman at Lignum’s, Sal Demare

meat—pile it up and light it with a tiger torch. We did it about 15 years like that, with the spit being turned by an electric motor,” he continued. “People got word of
the pig roasts we did and we started getting asked to do events for other people. “We also volunteer for the seniors draft horse ride every year— making free lunches
for everybody. Beamac donates the food for this fun event, and everyone looks forward to it.” All of the proceeds that Martin makes doing the roasts are
donated at Christmas time to kids’ programs and projects, including the Child Development Centre, Pregnancy Outreach Program, Tim Hortons’ Camp, the Salvation Army,

Martin said he took Food Safe in order to do the roasts, adding that he doesn’t cook at all, other than at his barbecues. “I check the meat throughout the day using my thermometers. It takes seven hours to cook an 80 to 100 pound pig, although it’s closer to 12 hours with all the hauling, setting up and cleaning up,” he explained. “I love meeting so many people,” he said. “We just wanted to help some kids and give something to the community.”

Williams Lake home base for missionaries Continued From Page A12 After training as a nurse in Ontario, Janet took her father’s training course where she met her future husband, Jim. They married soon after the training and spent their first year of marriage living in a tent in Nigeria. It wasn’t always easy, adjusting to each other and a new culture at the same time but they worked on building their relationship, starting a family and accomplishing their missionary work together. “We work on our strengths,” Janet said. “His strengths are my weaknesses.” In Nigeria they were part of a team helping villagers at harvest time, providing mosquito nets to prevent malaria, and tapping springs to provide clean, uncontaminated water. They also organized a program for children that had 300 participants. After Nigeria the couple moved to Pakistan where they worked at a refugee camp for Afghani people escaping the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. In Pakistan Janet followed Afghani refugees through the medical system to make sure they were getting proper care, and helped with eye operations. Jim, her husband, taught English in an all girls school in Pakistan that was bombed twice by the Taliban before most people in North America had heard of the Taliban. Janet and Jim lived an adventurous life as missionaries all the while raising their three children, Tyler, 29, Kyle, 27 and Jenna, 11. Exactly one year ago Janet and Jim followed Janet’s brother Mel Middleton and his wife Sharon, to Williams Lake. Mel and Sharon are also missionaries who were inspired to settle in the lakecity
eight years ago to be close to their daughter and her family who lived here. Mel and his father are still travelling missionaries. Mel recently returned from visiting and writing reports on projects in Ethiopia and other countries, while their father continues doing what he has always done, working to improve the lives of those in poverty and crisis around the world. With Williams Lake as home base, Janet now works as international director for International Coordinated Christian Ministries (ICCM), an organization started by her parents in 1985. It is a small, personal organization, first started to support Christians and pastor’s families who experienced persecution in the countries in where they worked. “It was all very quiet,” Janet said. “It was not something we could really advertise that we were doing.” Now the ICCM also works to set up programs for people in developing countries who have been denied education so they can gain marketable skills needed to provide for themselves and their families. “We’re primarily in Ethiopia because that’s like a second home to us,” Janet said. “We work primarily to bring people out of poverty and despair and get them self-sufficient and independent, so instead of being just receivers they can start giving back.” Most of the Bible training that they do is focused on forgiveness, Janet said. “There was just so much hurt.” Now, for the most part, Janet’s work takes place in Canada. “Eighty per cent of our donors give to us because of my mom and dad,” Janet said. “They knew my mom and dad and over the years they’ve been their

supporters. I need to turn that around so that they are supporting our work.” Janet said. “I know most of the sponsors and if I don’t, my dad does. We pray for each other and support each other’s work. I like that smallness. I don’t look forward to a day when we do get big and we lose that.”

COMMUNITY Artist transforms from wildlife biologist to painter LeRae Haynes
Special to The Tribune A new artist has emerged in Williams Lake, painting local landscapes and scenes that reflect both his career as a wildlife biologist and his passion for showing “the interconnectedness of our amazing environment.” The first showing of his art was at New World Tea in Williams Lake in May. John Youds opted for early retirement in 2012 to further pursue his passion for painting. He said that after years of working for the government, he’s enjoying the opportunity to develop his creative side. “I had a choice in my
late teens, to go into art or biology and I made a choice — I wanted to protect the environment. Now I’ve retired in order to paint and these paintings, for me, are a way to ‘marry’ the two,” he said, adding that each of his painting represents a real location and that the creative process starts outdoors where he hikes, photographs and sketches what inspires him. Using his imagination and his reference material he then completes the interpreted paintings in his studio. He attempts to capture beauty in nature in a way that shows the environment and ecosystems, working to show that everything
John Youds’ painting of a kayak on a lake with mountains reflected in the water. is connected: clouds, trees, water. “My career was pure science, and this is a way for me to bring awareness through art,” he explained.
ENGAGEMENT
“What I paint isn’t just for an audience, but it’s very interesting to hear what someone gets out of it. These paintings are an early expression of myself as
an artist.” Youds comes from an artistic background; his parents and his grandfather are artists, as well as his brother, who has enjoyed a great
degree of success. He said that friends, family and former coworkers are happy for him that he’s found fulfillment in this new undertaking. “This is the fun part of my life — this is something I’ve always dreamed of. So was my career in biology. Painting is a way to connect them. Every day I can paint I feel really good.” He talked about his painting of a kayak on a lake with mountains reflected in the water, stating that it’s one example of the ‘biology beneath.’ “I took the photo, and when I looked at it later I realized it wasn’t just an amazing view of a mountain lake. Paint-
ing this gave me the opportunity to show that everything is connected; I used triangle shapes to show that rocks, trees, water, sky, clouds and the mountainsides are all connected,” he explained. “What I try to do is capture the environmental landscape; it’s not just showing a place, it’s showing how important it is. I learn something new about me and my development as an artist every time I do a painting. I want to evolve and change. “For me, this is more than painting pretty pictures; it’s showing what’s underneath – the importance of nature, the environment and ecosystems.”
