First Nations blockade forestry in Chilcotin Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Tolko and West Fraser logging operations west of Williams Lake have been stopped by groups of protesting Tsilhqot’in First Nations. Tolko woodlands manager of harvesting Jerry Mooney said as many as 55 of one of its contractor’s employees are being affected by the action of one of the blockades, set up Monday, ironically at the start of National Forest Week.
“It appears it’s four or five individuals near our logging camp at the junction of the 2800 and 3200 Roads,” Mooney said. “The contractor, Westline Harvesting, is working on a B.C. Timber Sales cutblock at this point, not a Tolko cutblock.” Mooney added Tolko values its relationship with local First Nations and is working with First Nations leaders, the RCMP and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to determine the source and nature of the
grievance. Yunesit’in (Stone) Chief Russell Myers Ross said Monday the peaceful forestry blockades are a result of frustrations boiling over. Earlier on Friday, Sept. 13, members of the Myers family set up another blockade to stop equipment going into an area known as Yannah. “I think this is the tip of the iceberg,” Myers Ross said. “There is a sentiment in the community that there is a lot of overharvesting throughout the whole area.”
Yannah is located about 50 kilometres from Lee’s Corner toward Nemiah Valley, and is an area where members of the Myers family were born and raised. Family members went there to stop forestry vehicles and equipment, not knowing which company would be stopped, and it ended up being West Fraser, Myers Ross said. “At meetings, members of the community always express their concerns about over-harvesting and feel that nothing is being

done.” Myers Ross said the second blockade at the junction is more about protecting moose habitat. “We didn’t feel enough effort was put into dealing with moose hunting concerns,” Myers Ross said. “When the numbers are so dire, allowing limited entry hunting is probably not the best thing to do at this point.” West Fraser said its discussions with the band are ongoing and it anticipated meeting with Yunesit’in Tuesday.

NEWS Cariboo woodlot owner wins two awards Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Cariboo woodlot owner Rod Krimmer has received two award Krimmer was awarded the $2,500 Minister’s Award for Innovation and Excellence in Woodlot Management, along with a separate $2,500 regional award for his work in B.C.’s southern Interior, during last weekend’s Federation of B.C. Woodlots Association and the Woodlot Product Development Council joint AGM in Campbell River, Krimmer only learned of the awards on Monday evening because he attended a wedding in Francois Lake and was not at the AGM. “I was aware of the regional award be-
cause it recognized that I’ve been with the Cariboo Woodlot Association for 18 years and recently moved to Hagensborg,” Krimmer said Tuesday in Williams Lake. The minister’s award, however, was a complete surprise and a “huge honour,” he added. Krimmer’s 600-hectare woodlot, located at Big Lake, was awarded to him in 1985 and he has been managing it ever since. It has always been an inspiration, and part of his identity, he said. “I do many things, but when people ask me what I do, I always say I’m a woodlot owner,” he said. “It’s the most rewarding thing I do.” Krimmer runs all facets — the planning,
logging and reforestation. “B.C.’s woodlot licence program is a unique way to give British Columbians the opportunity to manage small-scale forestry operations on Crown land,” said Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, in a press release issued Monday. “Rodney Krimmer is a worthy recipient of this award, who demonstrated provincewide leadership when it comes to forest stewardship and innovative practices.” Brian McNaughton, general manager of the Federation of B.C. Woodlots Association, praised Krimmer for his dedication to his woodlot license and said he was entirely de-

only does he manage the forest, sell logs, and reforest, but he manufactures from the trees he harvests. He makes log homes and he has a sawmill.”
Cariboo Woodlot Association president Ian Lanki and association director Rod Blake nominated Krimmer for the minister’s award.
“We are very happy that he’s the recipient,” Lanki said. Blake, who attended the AGM, said it was a record turnout with about 160 people.
Three regional district resolutions endorsed by UBCM Two resolutions didn’t get debated because the debate session ran out of time, Richmond said. One dealt with raising more funds through the SPCA to protect animals. The other one suggested moving Heritage Week from winter to an “easier” time to hold an event in the Cariboo Chilcotin. Both of those resolutions were referred to the UBCM
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Three of the five resolutions the Cariboo Regional District submitted for consideration at the Union of BC Municipalities received endorsement. “We were successful getting an agreement to work with our ranchers and the province to deal with noxious weeds on range land,” CRD chair Al Richmond said in an interview Monday. The resolution had been proposed previously, and rejected, but passed this time because of persistence, he said, adding the CRD was awarded an honourable mention for the resolution itself. Another passed resolution asked the government to focus more on rural B.C.

“We are largely resource based and really need the help,” Richmond said. The CRD was also successful in getting the UBCM membership to approve ways to make residents more diligent with smoke alarms, and timing fire insurance renewal with smoke alarm checks.
executive committee, Richmond said. The CRD met with Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone to lobby for improved transportation routes into the Nazko area to access mines. In a meeting with Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Training Skills, the CRD received a commitment from the minister to work on tax relief for seasonal
resort owners. “We also urged her to help with the Nazko Gateway Project because of the number of jobs it would bring into the Cariboo,” Richmond said. There are four mines considered to be in the region. Richmond said one mine will provide between 300 to 500 jobs and a lot of spin-off jobs through indirect employment within the service industry.
Richmond said he has no idea what people are thinking by suggesting four-year terms for local government politicians. “It’s not the first time it’s been passed,” he said. “They went down to two, then to three, they’ve passed four before, and it’s been passed again.” The CRD was part of a six-community partnership that received an excellence award for collaborat-
ing on the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School commemoration project. “It was really nice to see what everyone can do when they work together,” Richmond said. Esk’etemc (Alkali Lake) Chief Fred Robins and Phyllis Webstad from Stswecem’c Xgat’tem (Canoe Creek) also travelled to Vancouver to accept the award, Richmond added.
Lac La Hache man succumbs to injuries A 66-year-old man critically injured in a single motor vehicle incident Wednesday near Williams Lake has succumbed to his injuries, RCMP said Friday. “Police are investigating a fatal motor
vehicle incident that occurred on the morning of Sept. 18 at 7:06 a.m. on Highway 97, near the Sugar Cane Reserve,” Const. Bob Meaver, Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services, stated in a press release.
A northbound vehicle crossed the centre line on to the southbound shoulder. The driver overcorrected, going back across both lanes of traffic and into the northbound ditch where his vehicle over-
turned and came to rest on its wheels. “The 66-year old male driver and only occupant of the vehicle was taken to Cariboo Memorial Hospital with serious injuries,” Meaver said. “He later succumbed to his inju-
ries the following day.” Meaver said the investigation of the MVI is ongoing. Anyone who may have witnessed the collision is asked to contact Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services at 250-3928703.

Moose hunting quota reduced by 35 per cent Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer This year’s quota for the annual moose hunt in the Cariboo Chilcotin has been reduced by 35 per cent to address conservation concerns. “The annual allowable harvest was reduced by 35 per cent compared to 2012,” Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Rodger Stewart said Monday. “The moose hunt in this part of the region is driven by limited entry hunting for bulls only.” Once the ministry has accounted for what the First Nations take is estimated to be, it determines the annual allowable harvest, Stewart said. “That leftover amount is split between resident hunters of B.C. and the clients of guide outfitters.” There is less hunting opportunity for bull moose in the region, he added. However, the only place that a limited amount of cow moose can be harvested is in management unit 515, East of Horsefly and Likely, in the Cariboo Mountains to contribute to mountain caribou recovery. “It is in the areas we are seeing the steepest decline,” he said, otherwise there is no authorized hunting of cow moose by resident or guided hunters in any other areas. Moose hunting opened Sept. 10 and goes until Nov. 15, but it won’t be until May 2014 that the ministry will received an estimate of the take numbers. “It will probably be
suggests more research needed
When you receive a limited hunting authorization it allows you hunt for and take a single bull moose some time within a two-week period.”
- Rodger Stewart
Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations confirmed by about now. The information we are receiving now will be for the 2012 hunting season.” Limited resident hunting authorizations go out in June and hunters plan their hunt. “When you receive a limited hunting authorization it allows you to hunt for and take a single bull moose some time within a two-week period,” Stewart explained. There are four sub-seasons - Sept. 10 30, Oct. 1 - 15, Oct. 1631 and Nov. 1 - 15. Hunters are randomly selected to participate in a random wildlife harvest survey conducted through the winter and the results will be used to help determine the upcoming annual allowable harvest. Guide outfitters, how-
ever, must within 30 days of a harvest’s completion, file a guide outfitter declaration with the ministry. “So we know with a very high degree of certainty what the guided hunters are taking,” Stewart said. “They take a very significantly smaller number of any game species than the resident hunters do because within the allocation hierarchy they are at the bottom of the ladder.” Conservation is at the top, to ensure the population is viable. After that First Nations have the first share, resident hunters have the second share, and guide outfitters have what’s left, Stewart added. Moose report
Stewart said a moose report prepared by Wildlife Infometrics Ltd. of Mackenzie, B.C. for the ministry, was completed at the end of July to help determine the cause of the moose population decline.. “They have a strong reputation as wildlife experts in the province,” Stewart said. “We obtained their services to get a better understanding on the influence of different factors that are working on the moose population.” The moose population is changing, he added. Delving into the research, the company determined “there is no one single issue,” that is causing the significant declines in a large proportion of the region. “There may be issues that are working in concert with each other, but the data set to drive the necessary determinations of these influences is not near complete.” Further research and evaluation will have to be done, he added.

UBCM targets altered species
F
irst week of autumn. The trees haven’t noticed yet, not too many are changing colour, but the air is brisk and my furnace kicked in for the first time in months. A wee murder of crows is French hanging out Connection in the MounDiana French tain Ash tree. When they aren’t pigging out on the berries they’re getting free rides on the wind. While picking my tomato crop and the last of the beans in the garden I found ten ripe berries on a raspberry bush. *** Some interesting news last week from the Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver. Delegates moved to ask the B.C. government to prohibit the importing, exporting and growing plants and seeds containing genetically engineered DNA, and raising genetically engineered animals within B.C. They want B.C. to be a genetically-engineered free area in respect to all plant and animal species. That’s a wow, as was the support of a resolution asking the government to work with First Nations, local governments, industry and citizens to modernize B.C.’s free entry mining laws. This was triggered by a study by West Coast Environmental Law and Fair Monitoring who researched the conflicts between the mining industry and other land users who are negatively impacted by the laws, which date back to gold rush days. I don’t know how our local politicians voted but they certainly know first hand about conflicts. Ironically, the province recently eased some of the permitting processes to cut the red tape for mining companies. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune.

Our Viewpoint
Sharing the forests where we live, play and work As the country celebrates National Forest Week, an example of the struggle between conservation, control and economics surrounding our forests is poised to take centre stage in our area. Last Friday a group of First Nations stopped equipment from going into an area about 50 kilometres from Lee’s Corner toward Nemiah Valley. According to Chief Russell Myers Ross, the protesters are fueled by frustrations over what they see as over harvesting and also a special family attachment to the area under threat of being logged. This blockade was swiftly joined by another blockade Monday at the junction of the 2800 and 3200 Roads near Tolko’s Meadow Camp. Between the two blockades, which are reported to be peaceful, more than 55 workers are currently being affected. Putting up a blockade is easy, finding a way to solve this age-old problem, is not. Many would argue that the First Nations economies have been put on the back burner for years. It is critical that these communities
realize real benefits from forests harvested in their backyards or any other resource extraction. Why else would they want to allow disruption in their environment if they don’t benefit from it? Look at how upset the community of Big Lake is that they are being cut out of a community forest partnership between the Williams Lake Indian Band and the City of Williams Lake which will see them receive fewer benefits and a limited say in logging in their area. Everyone wants to be heard and have a say in the future of their community landscape, particularly when it comes to the health and welfare of our surrounding forests. In this area we are especially blessed with beautiful, diverse forests. This good fortune has brought us all great opportunities such as many well-paying jobs as well as endless recreation and viewing values. As we celebrate those gifts this week, we must continue to move forward using a balanced, shared approach when it comes to the future of our home — our forests. - Williams Lake Tribune

ouncil, the CAO and I just returned from a busy week at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) Convention in Vancouver. The convention is a chance for the mayors and councils of B.C. to meet From the with each other, Mayor’s and with provincial governChair ment represenKerry Cook tatives. Every year, UBCM is a great opportunity to make sure Williams Lake is in the forefront of government’s mind, and to network with other municipal officials. During the week, in addition to debating resolutions, Council met with the Premier and a number of cabinet ministers to discuss the New Prosperity mine, Cariboo Memorial Hospital capital improvements, the Community Forest application, crime reduction, aboriginal reconciliation, and grant opportunities. We were appreciative of MLA Barnett joining us at our meeting as well. The City shared an Excellence in Partnerships award with the Esk’etemc First Nation, the Cariboo Regional District and its local governments for the Truth and Reconciliation event held in Williams Lake in May. In addition to those meetings, as a member of the Rural B.C. project steering committee, I was involved in three presentations: to the premier, cabinet’s rural caucus, and at a clinic for delegates to advance our rural development strategy. We were pleased to hear the premier talk about the importance of rural B.C. in her speech to convention delegates. I also presented to the Mid-Sized Community Forum delegates, which was an opportunity to emphasize the resilience of Williams Lake. The B.C. Mayors Caucus held its fourth meeting, with 124 mayors attending. This is an excellent opportunity to share best practices, and to speak to the provincial government with a unified voice when it comes to municipal priorities. If you missed the budget meeting on Sept. 12, I invite and encourage you to come to the second meeting at the Fire Hall at 7 p.m. Sept. 30. This will be a broad discussion about City finances, and how Council incorporates feedback into the budget. We want to hear from you! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Clean energy economy imperative Editor: Imagine Premiers saying we’d like to look after your children’s climate future 67 per cent of the time. Will global 440 ppm of CO2 “capped,” give us a 67 per cent chance to stay below 2 C? We are at 400 ppm of CO2 now. Take time for your answer. Canadian Premiers meet next summer(2014) to create a National Energy Policy. Imagine Premiers saying we will take care of your children’s climate future 90 per cent of the time. Will global 400 ppm of CO2 “capped,” give us a 90 per cent chance of stabilizing global temperatures at 2 C? The Premier’s energy policy, led by Allison Redford, will look after our children’s climate future 0 per cent of the time. James Hansen says passing 2 C “guarantees” global disaster. The UN agrees. Just care for our children’s climate future. Imagine a global climate energy policy which guarantees 100 per cent of the time, our children’s climate future. 2 C is disastrous. 1.5 C is dangerous. 0.8 C isn’t safe enough. I would like to send out a long stem red rose to the McLeese Lake Store. On the Saturday of the August long weekend I drove from Langdon, Alberta (30 minutes east of Calgary) to my family’s cabin on Tyee Lake. I arrived at the McLeese Lake Store at 9 p.m. on the Saturday night just as they were closing. I needed to contact my husband to tell him that I had made the long trip safely and I had just realized that I did not have local cell reception, that there would be no cell reception at the cabin and that the local pay phone was not working. The lady at the store offered to let me make a short long distance call to my husband on the store phone, and declined my offer of a few dollars to cover it. This level of customer service and true kindness was amazing and I was/am so very grateful. Thanks to her and the store, and I will be recommending and supporting this store in the future. A grateful wife.

The International Energy Agency(IEA) warned us on May 1, 2012, that we have five more years “left” to act on a low-carbon energy plan which will keep us from passing 2 C by 2030. With Harper, 2012/13 has passed exponentially increasing our carbon emissions. In “2014,” our Premiers will have a high-carbon energy plan...”doubling GHG’s.” We have four years left to plan ... to act? Most scientists say “2017” is enough time to act. There is a 30 per cent chance we don’t have four more years. The exact time for “irreversible” global warming isn’t certain. Canadians need to be thinking ... acting through 2017. A stabilized clean energy economy “reducing” GHG’s is a categorical imperative. We are on the edge of passing the tipping point of no return for global warming. Guarantee our children’s climate future with a 100 per cent margin of safety. Activate a plan which will return us to 350 ppm of CO2.

Have your say on the budget W
hen it comes to planning a provincial budget, it’s important to take the time to listen to what is important to British Columbians. In the same way that families talk about their priorities when it comes to their family budget, we as a province need to discuss what programs and services are most important to us at the provincial level. That’s where provincial budget consultation comes in. A few weeks ago, the Select Standing Com-
MLA Musings Coralee Oakes
mittee on Finance and Government Services announced plans to conduct consultations on Budget 2014 around the province. This all-party committee will be touring the province to hear from the public, and that means you can have your say on our government’s spending priorities for the com-
ing year. The committee is coming to Williams Lake on October 8, and will be holding a meeting in Room 119 at the Pioneer Complex, 351 Hodgson Road, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. You can register to attend this public hearing by contacting the Parliamentary Committees Office by phone at 1-877-4288337 or e-mail at FinanceCommittee@leg. bc.ca. This is a great chance to play a role in discussing what our priorities are as a province, so
don’t miss out! The committee began consultations in Vancouver on Sept. 20 and will be conducting more throughout the Fraser Valley, Kamloops, the Kootenays, and Victoria this week. Over the following two weeks there will be stops on Vancouver Island, in the Interior and in the North, including the stop in Williams Lake on Oct. 8 and a videoconference in Quesnel on Oct. 16. If you aren’t able to attend one of the public consultation sessions,
you can still participate in the process by answering an online survey, making a written submission, or sending the committee an audio or video file by Oct. 16. To find out more, visit www.leg.bc.ca/cmt/finance. The committee will present its finished report by mid-November — take advantage and have your say! Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.
Chamber Chatter: Gibraltar opening excites Many members and staff attended the celebration at Taseko’s Gibraltar Mine last week along with over 600 mine supporters; it was quite the event and a huge opportunity to network with everyone who not only appreciates having Gibraltar at our back door but those who support the New Prosperity Project. We heard from our members that they wanted to attend but many were unable to leave their businesses for the day. The new truck shop is really something to see and although it is huge, once they drove the $3 million ore truck inside it made the place look smaller. It was first-class to see MLA Donna Barnett ready to jump onto the ore hauler and bring it over to the shop, not an easy task. The Chamber welcomes the news that B.C., Ontario and Canada have agreed to establish a co-operative capital markets regulatory system, which all Canadian provinces and territories are invited to participate in. “Canada is the world’s only major industrialized country without a single securities regulator, which makes our processes more cumbersome for potential investors,” said John Winter, president and CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce. “The BC Chamber is very pleased to see this
CHAMBER CHATTER positive step, which paves the way towards a national regulator and a simpler regulatory system for companies doing business in Canada TD Merchant Services (TDMS) and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce (CCC) have been partners in providing preferred rates for payment processing to Chamber members for more than 12 years. Through this joint program many new merchants have come to be both Chamber members and TDMS customers. However, due to the increasing fragmentation of this program at the regional level, the CCC and TDMS have mutually decided not to pursue a renewal of this agreement which is set to expire on Dec. 1, 2013. Each member’s individual Merchant Services Agreement with TDMS is not impacted and all the terms and conditions set out in each member’s MSA continue to be in effect. The Williams Lake Chamber has been advised that TDMS will not be making any immediate changes to the rates and fees that existing members are paying under this program;
they went on to say that TDMS is committed to provide at least 90 days’
notice of any future changes to the terms and conditions of the agreement with us. For more information on this, please contact our office. *** We invite members to attend our General Meeting luncheon Thursday, Sept. 26
from 11:45 a.m. to 1 a.m. at Signal Point Restaurant. Chamber meetings offer businesses the opportunity to meet other businesses. The networking is valuable and one of our most popular activities. Please RSVP by Tuesday to 250-3925025.

Take Back the Night raises awareness Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer When people in Williams Lake participated in the annual Take Back the Night Walk Friday they were building on a tradition that began almost two centuries ago in England. “Over the years it’s morphed,” Women’s Contact Society executive director Irene Willsie said of the walk. It started out as a protest event where people actually went to jail for participating. “Now it’s a peaceful, awareness-raising walk that draws attention to not only violence against women in our community, but any sort of violence in the community.” After the walk, held Friday beginning at Boitanio Park and ending at Marie Sharpe elementary school for
a chilli and bannock dinner prepared by the Friendship Society, Willsie said the impacts of violence are not only felt by immediate families, but by the whole community. Children who witness violence do not feel safe and people who witness violence repeatedly are also impacted. “It’s important that we don’t normalize violence,” Willsie said. On behalf of the city, Coun. Ivan Bonnell participated in the walk and said his presence there symbolized city council’s commitment to ending violence in the community. “Violence is a public crime, not a private act,” Bonnell said. “We are dedicated to ending violence in public places as well as encouraging people to act when they are aware of violence in homes.”
Take Back the Night is a good way to raise awareness of the need for people to phone the RCMP, and assist victims in whatever way they can without being judgemental. “People can call on community resources to assist in helping victims and taking action towards perpetrators,” Bonnell said. “Hopefully one day we’ll be able to celebrate a violencefree community.” Shuswap elder Mary Thomas said more and more awareness is being created and more supports made available to victims of violence. “The Integrated Case Assessment Team, which first originated in Vernon, is practiced by many helping organizations such as RCMP and different ministries,” Thomas said. Historically, the culture of First Nations
people was not to discuss violence, Thomas added. Williams Lake RCMP Const. Kelly McIntyre said there are great supports in Williams Lake when it comes to helping victims of violence. One night after dealing with a call about a woman who had been hurt, she sat at a table with ten people figuring out a way to make her safe. “Even at the hospital, when we’re going there with victims or families of victims, the nurses and doctors have also been amazing and comforting,” McIntyre said. It’s been an eye-opening first year of policing in Williams Lake, she said. “There is an amazing group of people here dedicated to help people who are going through the complications and effects of violence.”

Prescribed burns planned for Cariboo-Chilcotin Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer It is that time of year when the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations conducts prescribed burns and several are planned for areas south and west of Williams Lake beginning the end of September up until Oct. 31. Weather permitting, they will start the week of Sept. 30, said Hugh Flinton, of the ministry’s ecosystem restoration range branch. “You want the winds to be right, you want the air temperature to be all right, and you want the humidity to be correct as well,” Flinton explained, adding he hopes the current weather pattern dries out a little bit. “Conditions were really dry before the rain we had last weekend, too dry probably to get the impact we want.” Prescribed burns are
planned for Beecher’s Prairie along Highway 20 at the Toosey turnoff, approximately 220 hectares; Bald Mountain south of Riske Creek, approximately 150 hectares; Deer Creek in the Alexis Creek area, approximately 100 hectares; Crow’s Bar in the Fraser River area, south of Dog Creek, approximately 3,000 hectares; and at Ward Creek in the Fraser River area, north of Gang Ranch, approximately 400 hectares. In these identified areas, the fire will actually kill the conifers — small fir trees and small pine trees — that are encroaching on the grasslands, Flinton said. “You need that fire to kill the small seedlings within the grassland.” The fires also help release nutrients for regrowth in the spring time and make the grassland more resilient and healthy, he added. Praising the Cari-
boo Fire Centre for its ongoing support by helping and freeing up crews to help with the program, Flinton said it’s a win for the centre because crews can learn about fire in a controlled environment. Normally it takes anywhere from 15 to 30 crew members to conduct one prescribed burn, taking into account preparation time, the actual burn day and the after burn cleanup, he explained. Historically, the grasslands of the Cariboo-Chilcotin
were renewed through frequent, low-intensity ground fires, and currently local First Nations crews participate with the ministry by doing the slashing of small trees - up to two feet tall - ahead of any prescribed burns. “These fires are part of an ongoing ecosystem restoration program administered by the provincial government in consultation with First Nations, local ranchers, the B.C. Wildlife Federation and the Cariboo-Chilcotin Conservation Society,” he added.

NEWS Soda Creek Corn draws travellers Williams Lake may be known for its Stampede, but corn could be a new draw. On a hot September Thursday afternoon, everyone picking at Soda Creek Corn UPick had come from outside the region. “We are going to visit our daughter in Quesnel,” Tony and Marilyn Kraayvanger from Invermere said. “She told us to buy some corn for supper and we saw the sign on the highway and came down here.” G. James, en route to Prince George to visit a friend, said he didn’t want to show up empty handed for dinner. “I’ve never picked corn before,” he said with a shrug. Another couple from Grande Prairie held up a camera and asked if they could have a photograph taken too.
It’s their first time picking corn so why not get a photograph to prove it, they said. Proprietor Linda Kaufman said her signs on the highway were made a few years ago by Schickworks in Williams Lake. The family has had the u-pick for 31 years and has a huge number of return customers. “Often I’ll see families two or three times in a season,” Kaufman said, noting people will return to pick the fresh corn for their freezers. Kaufmans opened for picking on Aug. 12, which is two weeks earlier than normal. “Our record-to-date was Aug. 15,” Kaufman said, adding business has been steady. Aside from the u-pick they have a commercial corn picker, used to prepare shipments to destinations between Prince George and 100 Mile House.

3 year RATE CLIMBER - 2.147% yield “We also have been supplying the Langley warehouse for the Overwaitea Food Group for the past three years,” Kaufman said. Recently a customer told Kaufman’s husband a compelling story about corn. The man was in the German army. When Germany lost the Second World War, many starving soldiers, returning home on foot, stopped in a farmer’s field to rummage for food. “That was the last time he’d eaten corn, and now he was visiting in Canada, and came with relatives to pick corn, and was exclaiming in German and broken English, ‘oh my God, this is delicious,’.” It was nothing like what he’d eaten in the field so many decades ago, he said. When asked if the bears frequent the 12 acres of u-pick corn fields she said the bears prefer the 80 acres of feed corn. “We call it cow corn.
It’s just straight starch — huge cobs. There’s nothing sweet about that corn at all.” Under the shade of a small tree, Kaufman’s mother-in-law Margie was peeling apples. She pointed to a restored 1941 restored John Deere Model B tractor. “It had no electric starter, had to be started by turning over the fly wheel by hand,” Maggie explained. “It ran on gas or what was know at that time as tractor gas, similar to kerosene.” It had 27 h.p on gas, 23 on tractor gas and was a very popular tractor. At that time farms were smaller and every farmer needed a tractor. and 336,000 of these tractors were sold because they were small, cheap, and reliable. The tractor was used by Kaufmans for several years in the early 60s, then retired, and was restored last year by her son.

NEWS Orange Shirt Day goes Sept. 30 The community is invited to affirm its commitment to ensure everyone matters by participating in Orange Shirt Day, proclaimed in Williams Lake and the Cariboo for Sept. 30. Everyone is encouraged to wear an orange shirt on this day, and to wear an “Every Child Matters” button. A ceremony at 10 a.m. in Boitanio Park will feature the story behind the orange shirt, Assembly of First nations Chief Shawn Atleo, Juno Award-winning blues musician Murray Porter, and a children’s presentation. In addition, resources available in the community to help children will be highlighted. At the launch of the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School Commemoration and Reconciliation project on April 24, Phyllis Webstad, who is a survivor of the school, shared a very personal story about her first experience going to the school: “I went to the Mission for one year, I had just turned 6 years old. We never had very much money, and there was no welfare, but somehow my granny managed to buy me a new outfit to go to the Mission school in. I remember going to Robinson’s store and picking out a shiny orange shirt. It had eyelets and lace, and I felt so pretty in that shirt and excited to be going to school! Of course, when I got to the Mission, they stripped me, and took away my clothes, including the orange shirt! I never saw it again, except maybe on other kids. I didn’t understand why they wouldn’t give it back to me, it was mine! The colour orange has always reminded me of how my feelings didn’t matter, how no one cared and how I felt like I was worth nothing.” This was the experience of many, if not all First Nations children for over a hundred years as they attended the school for the first time. Orange
Shirt Day has been proclaimed in recognition of the harm the
residential school system did to children’s self worth, sense of
self-esteem and wellbeing, and as an affirmation of the com-
mitment to ensure that everyone around matters.

NEWS Anahim Lake man located by helicopter Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Despite being dehydrated, hungry and cold after being lost for 48 hours in the bush, a 55-year-old Anahim Lake man is safe and sound and in good health after being rescued by an RCMP helicopter last Saturday north of Kitwanga. Last Friday, Sept. 20, the man set off with a group of friends to collect mushrooms in a location 12 kilometres up the Van Dyke Forest Service Road, 107 kilometres north of Kitwanga on Highway 37. Stewart RCMP were called at approximately 2 p.m. the following day, after the man became separated from the group and the group could not locate him. “Several members from the Stewart Search and Rescue Team and one member of the Stewart RCMP were deployed to the area,” said Lesley Smith, North District media relations officer with the RCMP. Members were advised that the missing male was not properly equipped to stay in the wilderness overnight and temperatures were dropping. The man was not
This is not the case [when reporting a missing person] and RCMP urge the public to contact police as soon as possible with any missing or lost persons complaint.”
- Lesley Smith located prior to nightfall and search efforts continued the next day with the assistance of Terrace Search and Rescue making its way to the area. RCMP Helicopter Air 4, in the area for an unrelated operational requirement, was made available to assist with an aerial search. At approximately 1:30 p.m. RCMP Air 4 spotted some smoke in the search area and the ground search crew was directed towards it. By 2:15 p.m. the search crew located the male in good shape and the crew helped walk him out. When questioned about the delay for calling police, the group was under the impression they had to wait 24 hours before reporting someone missing. “This is not the case and RCMP urge

Now until Sept. 30 Stampeders tryouts LizTwan/Barb Poirier photo
The historic Alkali Lake Braves were honoured Friday by the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants. The Giants wore newly-designed Alkali Braves sweaters featuring the lazy cross of the Alkali Lake Ranch to open their season against the Victoria Royals. Above, the Alkali Lake Braves, led by coach George McKenzie (left), get together for a team photo, circa 1932.
Historic Braves honoured by WHL’s Giants Greg Sabatino Staff Writer “Speeding down the ice on Saturday with their famous three man combination rush, the visiting Prince George hockey team found the net of the Alkali Lake Indians within the first half minute of the game. “Returning the compliment Alkali flashed down with their unbeatable five man perpetual motion Catherine Wheel and evened the score with a whipping shot from Louie Amiele the Centre Marvel. “On good ice the game dazzled back and forth in as clean and fast an exhibition of hockey as the local fans have seen since Nero learned to fiddle, until Perry added another for Prince George. David Johnson defence star completed the score of four to two for Alkali Lake … “This victory puts Alkali Lake into the League playoffs with Quesnel. Two games will be played, one on each home ice, total goals to count, and on their present form it looks as though the (Braves) will cop the League championship.” excerpts from the Williams Lake Tribune, Feb. 19, 1931 *** The historic Alkali Braves hockey club was recently honoured by
the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants. The Giants, hosting the Victoria Royals in its season opener, donned a newly-designed Braves’ tribute jersey in recognition of the contributions made to the game by one of the province’s original First Nations hockey teams. The sweater, featuring a lazy cross on the crest, is the brand of the Alkali Lake Ranch where many of the hockey players on the Braves’ team worked. The Alkali Braves, led by Alec Antoine (known as Sylista), won a B.C. Northern League title in 1931, earning them the chance to play against the powerhouse Vancouver Commercials later that year. Given zero chance of competing against the Commercials by Vancouver hockey pundits and sportswriters, the Braves stormed into the big city losing game one by just one goal. The Commercials swept the Braves in the two-game exhibition, but the opportunity to play against a professional team earned the Braves respect throughout the province for their toughness and sportsmanship. See GIANTS Page A16
Player tryouts are underway at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, and the 2013 Coy Cup senior men’s B.C. ‘AA’ champion Stampeders are inviting anyone who thinks they can compete at a high level of contact hockey to join them on the ice. Practices began Sept. 3 and continue every Tuesday and Thursday starting at 9 p.m. throughout the month. Players are expected to come prepared with sticks, blades, pads, etc. Each player, returning and new, will be required to pay a non-refundable $50 tryout fee prior to stepping on the ice. For more contact general manager Kelly Kohlen at 250-398-8687 or head coach Cliff Philpot at 250-3982092.

“The courage the Alkali Lake Braves displayed paved the way for players like Fred Sasakamoose, who became the first man from a Native Reserve to appear in the National Hockey League,” the Giants said in a release. “The Giants are honoured to pay tribute to yet another great story in B.C. hockey history, having also donned the jerseys of the Vancouver Millionaires, the Vancouver White Spots, the 1944/45 Vancouver Canucks, the New Westminster Bruins, as well as two version of custom ‘Mr. Hockey’ jerseys honouring Giants’ part-owner Gordie Howe.”

Ladies Only Shoot hits the mark Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association hosted its second-ever Ladies Only Shoot Sept. 15 at the
Bond Lake Road Rod and Gun Club with an overwhelming response. WLSA director Caroline Chupa said an “overfull” contingent of 34 ladies signed
up for the day, which began with standard safety procedure and shifted to the firing and learning about hand guns, revolvers, longrange hunting rifles, .22s, archery, assault
rifles and shot guns. “This group of ladies was awesome,” Chupa said. “There were maybe eight in the group who had shot before and the rest this was their first time.”
Chupa added the day wouldn’t have been possible without the help of several WLSA members who volunteered their time to make sure the day went smoothly.

Hunting Season in the Cariboo
Fall 2013
Hunting the Majestic Canadian Elk
Canadian Elk. tures meant to intimidate other bulls, antler wrestling, and bugling – a distinctively loud succession of screams to confirm their dominance over the other bulls and to attract the opposite sex. Based on fossil records, elk roamed North America as early as 120,000 years ago. When Europeans first set foot on Canada in the 17th century, the plentiful elk were hunted for both food and game. Soon, hunting elk in Canada became a very popular sport. Wanton killing was rife to the point that it led to the extinction of the Eastern elk and Merriam’s elk. The Rocky Mountain elk nearly had the same fate until the
early 1900’s when concern about the loss of these big game animals brought about the implementation of hunting seasons and harvesting limits. The Canadian elk currently number about 72,000 with over 40,000 found in British Columbia, 20,000 in Alberta, and around 10,000 in the areas of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The establishment of the Elk National Park has also contributed to the continued survival of the magnificent Canadian Wapiti. The Canadian elk are considered by hunters as prized big game trophies. Elk hunting in Canada opens in late August and may last until November. About 4,000 elk are harvested by licensed hunters every year. Apart from this, the elk population is also hunted by aboriginal hunters in the area. Elk hunting in Canada has contributed greatly to the local economies, generating an average of $14 million annually. Hunting elk in Canada provides a considerable boost to both tourism and the economy of the state. Canada has good conservation policies in place to ensure that elk numbers

The North American Elk belongs to the red deer family. In fact, it is the largest species of red deer found in the world and is second only to the moose in size. The North American elk is also known as Wapiti, a Shawnee Indian name for “white rump”. Scientists prefer to call this majestic deer by that name to differentiate it from the European elk, an altogether different species of animal that is related to the North American moose. These prodigiouslysized cousins of the white-tailed deer are as tall at the shoulder as 59 inches (150 cm) and can weigh as much as 660 lbs. (300 kg). When summer enters its last phase, just before breeding season comes to a head, some of the larger bulls tip the scales at 1100 lbs. (500 kg). While females are considerably smaller in size, they still weigh at an average of 550 lbs. (250 kg) and are around 53 inches (135 cm) tall at the shoulder. In the summer the Canadian Elk takes on a coat of reddish tan or reddish brown. In the winter, its color darkens considerably. The color of its rump runs from ivory all the way to orange, although it may appear white from a distance. With a massive dark head and neck, the Elk have a shaggy growth of hair from its neck to its chest, giving it a dark brown or blackish mane. Bulls also sport a spreading rack of antlers which they shed each year by rubbing them against the trunks of year. Elk can be found in and on the edges of forests. They subsist on plants, grasses, leaves, and bark, and are known for their high level of adaptability. They are very sociable animals and usually gather in groups of six or seven. Where one elk is, more are not far away. During their breeding season, or rut, bulls have their own mating rituals. Some of these rituals include taking on threatening pos-

Hunting Season
in the Cariboo Caribou Hunting in Canada At first glance, the Canadian caribou looks like an ungainly animal. Looks can be deceiving; this big game deer is perfectly adapted to withstand the environment in which they live. The caribou’s long legs allow it to move through thick snow and its body, stocky and short, allows it to conserve heat. The Canadian caribou is closely related to both domesticated and wild reindeer that live in Eurasia. The caribou is unique among its peers because not only do males develop antlers, but the females do as well. They are swift runners and during warm, insect ridden months can run long distances to escape from annoying flying insects. They are able to survive harsh winter conditions because they feed on lichens, their primary source of food in the northern rangelands. The Canadian Caribou Population It is thought that there are more than two million caribou found in Canada. They live in
a variety of areas from mountains and forests to the tundra in the far north and some migrate great distances. The darkest and largest is the woodland caribou. They make their home from Labrador and Newfoundland to the Yukon Territory and British Columbia. Their range is typically in the boreal forest or regions of the western Canadian mountain ranges. About half the Canadian caribou population is barren-ground. From Alaska to Baffin Island is where they spend all or most of the year on the tundra. The more than one million barren-ground caribou gather in eight migrating herds. Though there are still a large number of Canadian caribou, some of the populations of particular subspecies have been labeled at risk by COSEWIC or the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. The Importance of Canadian Caribou to the Economy and
Culture It is believed that humans have had a long relationship with Canadian caribou. Findings in the Yukon Territory from archeological digs suggest that the hunting of caribous has been going on for at least 13,000 years. Tribes of aboriginals and the Inuit’s culture were often based on caribou. They could not have survived the harsh conditions of the north without them. Every part of the caribou was used for their survival and they are still an important resource in Canada today.
Canadian Caribou Hunting Tips Because of the long distances required to travel when hunting the Canadian caribou, it is often recommended that hunters arrange their trips with an outfitter. With an outfitter, it is the guides that will perform most of the hard work such as lugging meat and supplies. Many recommend that for an adventurous and easy way to hunt for Canadian caribou is using horses. The bush tractor is fast gaining popularity as a mode of transportation when

hunting Canadian caribou. They can carry the heavy equipment as well as the meat and trophies when hunters have made their kill. Once a herd is spotted, hunters get within rifle range and then stalk the movement of the animals. When the caribou has bedded down, it is a good time to observe them as they stay this way for a few hours. When they rise to feed, their heads should be pointing in the opposite direction from the hunter who should then find a natural obstruction and

NOTICE!
SHOT BAN The use of toxic (lead) shot for hunting waterfowl has been prohibited in British Columbia since 1995 and in Canada since 1997. The ban applies to all ducks, geese, coots and snipe. It does not apply to upland game birds (grouse, ptarmigan, quail, partridge, pheasants and turkey), migratory upland game-birds (pigeons, doves), ravens (where seasons exist), or target shooting, although a local restriction may be implement-
ed if there is a conflict with an important wetland. Federal regulations currently identify steel shot, bismuth shot, tungsten-iron shot, tungsten-bronze-iron shot, tin shot, tungsten - matrix shot, and tungsten-polymer shot as the only non-toxic shot permitted for use on waterfowl, coot and snipe. Hunters are advised to contact the CWS Canadian Wildlife Service in Delta (604-940-4700) for more details.

Accidental Illegal Harvest What should you do if you harvest an animal in error? Mistakes happen. Either through
poor judgement, inexperience or at times through a series of unavoidable circumstanc-
es, each year animals are mistakenly killed. Many are self reported but many more are

make such a mistake to come forward. In circumstances where such animals are recovered by the COS the meat will be distributed and utilized by those in need. Hunters who self report such kills will be viewed in a different light than those who intentionally kill an illegal animal or fail to report the matter. The Conservation Officer Service believes that the true test of a hunter is not whether or not a mistake is made, but how he/she deals with that mistake. All self reported unlawful kills will be investigated and the appropriate action will be assessed by the officer. What should you do? Immediately cancel your species licence and mark in ink on the species licence page that your intention is to self report. If you have telephone service, call the RAPP number and seek direction from a Conservation Officer. If you are within close proximity of a phone but it will require some traveling, field dress that animal to prevent spoilage, leave the carcass at the scene and go to a location where a call to the RAPP number can be made. If you are in a remote location and telephone contact is not possible, field dress that animal
to prevent spoilage, care for the carcass until you enter a location where a
phone call to the RAPP number can be made. RAPP 1- 877-952-7277.

CARIBOO: Welcome Fair
Newcomers get to know community LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Showcasing what Williams Lake has to offer newcomers to the community is the theme of a Cariboo Welcome Fair on Saturday, Sept. 28 at Thompson Rivers University. Approximately 30 booths will be set up by local businesses and organizations, giving people the opportunity to sign up for workshops or classes and learn what services are available to individuals and families who have recently immigrated to the area. Welcome Williams Lake coordinator Sharon Taylor at the Multicultural Services Society office said that the fair will be a great place for businesses and organizations to network, and a great place for community newcomers to find out what’s available. “It’s an access party,” she explained. “It’s a chance for newcomers to ‘put a face with the name’ and speak directly to the people who provide services they may need. They can gain more familiarity with the community and when the need is more immediate, there will already be a connection in place. For example, if they need day care, or employment they will know which organization can help.” She noted that exhibitors will receive a summary of the vendors on site and what they do. “In a community like Williams Lake where we have a resource-based economy, the more viewpoints, attitudes, habits and ways of living we have, the less vulnerable we are. Diversity makes us more flexible, interesting and less prone to tunnel vision,” she said. “This ties us to a movement in Canada that has been going on for a year.” Taylor also stated that it may come as a surprise what information is most often requested in her office – information that covers more than English as a second language. She said that 80 per cent of local immigrants are from the US and the UK so English isn’t an issue. “There have been many changes in immigration and citizenship in the past five years. I’ve recently helped people with things like a residency card extension for par-

Nirach, a TRU teacher and facilitator, talks about the importance of diversity in a community and about the upcoming Cariboo Welcome Fair.
It’s an access party ... It’s a chance for newcomers to put a face with the name.” - Sharon Taylor ents and a four-year extension on a working holiday,” she added. “One recent change is that a family can no longer sponsor all family members to live in Canada: only your spouse and your children. Instead of being able to sponsor your parents, you can apply for a 10-year multi-entry visa, or a ‘super’ visa that allows someone to stay in Canada for up to two years.” Taylor also said that just because you marry a Canadian doesn’t mean you automatically become a citizen. “The process can be complicated,” she added. “If you stay in your own country and your spouse is here, it takes about 10 months to process
your application. If you marry and come here it takes about 23 months to become a permanent citizen.” She said that her role is to listen to people and find out what they need. “I can’t always solve their problems but I can connect them with people who can. Our Prince George office is a great resource for us here - it’s a big office where they speak six languages and have lots of experience and legal support. It’s a phone call away,” she explained. “Here, you get a real human being to talk to – not a phone message system. Sometimes frustration, anxiety and stress can be very high. People want to get an-
swers and move to the next stage. They really want to be a member of the community. “When you walk through the door here there is someone to shake your hand, say your name and ask, ‘How can I help?’” One newcomer to Williams Lake who will be at the Cariboo Welcome Fair is TRU teacher and facilitator Nirach Suapa, who has a very positive connection to the Multicultural Services Society in Williams Lake. He and his family have been living in Williams Lake for two years. He immigrated to Canada from Bankok, Thailand in 2005 to study English as a second language in Regina and entered the PHD program in 2006 to receive a doctorate in adult education and human resources. He and his wife Teeraporn (Tip) Rackchopsanti have two children who were born in Regina and a third in Williams Lake in March. He said that he got his first job at TRU as an open learning facilitator and also teaches some courses in education. “I was glad to find a multicultural office in Williams Lake. It helped when my wife wanted to take English classes,” he said. “I also direct multicultural students here to that office for help and assistance and have recommended them to people from Taiwan, India, Jamaica, Spain, Mexico and California. Most recently I sent a nurse from Hong Cong to visit the office.” The multicultural office offers helpful things like job search skills, writing cover letters and resumes, according to Suapa, as well as job interview techniques and speaking skills. “I see great benefit from the office for the people I’ve sent there,” he stated. “A community is richer when it welcomes diversity. I’ve learned a lot from this community, especially from First Nations people I’ve met. “When there is diversity people can understand different perspectives from people around the world and learn from each other.” The Cariboo Welcome Fair will take place at TRU on Saturday, September 28 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. For more information visit www.imss.ca/welcoming_wlake. php, phone 778-412-2999, e-mail sharont@imss.ca or visit the office at 118C N 1st Ave.

Local business supports Diamond Dinner Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer There is no more noble cause than helping women and children, and the upcoming Diamond Dinner aims to do just that. Proceeds from the annual Women’s Contact Society’s event, set to take place Oct. 26 this year, will go to support the local Good Food Box program for women and also children programming at the Child Development Centre. One of its big supporters is Woodland Jewellers. “Both programs are worthwhile because they benefit the community,” said Cindy Watt, Woodland’s CEO.
2012 Diamond Ring While the diamond dinner will pass its ninth annual mark, Woodlands will be celebrating its 80th anniversary. “We have been sponsoring many community events over the years and we feel the diamond dinner is beneficial to our community,” Watt said. The diamond up
for raffle is a 35 point white Canadian diamond, from the Ekati Diamond Mine in the Northwest Territories, valued at $1,950. Then Woodland’s jeweller Geoff Bourdon will contribute $1,200 worth of designing and making a piece of jewellery to set the diamond. “It’s a lot of fun to go through the design process,” Bourdon said. “A lot of people in their daily lives don’t get the chance to be creative, so to sit down and have a clean slate, where I’m there to help with the technical, but for them to design and actually think about what they like and don’t like, is a lot of fun to watch.”
All designs are completely open to whatever the winner wants, Bourdon added. Some winners will take stones out of other jewellery they own or buy some other diamonds to incorporate in the design, Watt said. “Each experience is unique to what the person’s desires are.” The dinner will take place at Signal Point Restaurant with a live auction and silent auction, said Women’s Contact Society executive director Irene Willsie and raffle tickets for the diamond at the Child Development Centre or the Women’s Contact Society. “It is an elegant event that is a pleasure
to attend and to raise awareness for both organizations,” she said, adding there is a limit of 110 tickets for the dinner. On average the event has raised around $10,000, and in 2012 raised $12,000.

Connect Parent Group starts Oct. 8 The Connect Parent Group is a series of workshops in Williams Lake that focuses on enhancing the building blocks of attachment, improving the parents’ ability to reflect before acting, and adjust their feelings so they respond more constructively to conflict. The series of free 10 one-hour sessions is delivered over 10 weeks. Parents watch roleplays presented by two facilitators that open new choices for responding to their adolescent’s difficult behaviour. Parents learn, for example, that conflict is part of attachment and is particularly acute during times, such as the transition through adolescence. The next Connect Parent Group session runs on Tuesdays from Oct. 8 to Dec. 10 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. There is no charge but pre-registration is required due to limited space. Food and refreshments are provided. To register or for more information on this program please

Treed cat returned to family after 30 days LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor A family pet was recently returned home after being missing just over a month. Spaz, a seven-year-old tabby cat, went missing one afternoon and was eventually rescued from a spot 40 feet up a tree. Spaz’s owner, Jody Oakes said that they came home one afternoon to find Spaz gone. “This wasn’t unusual and she always came back, but not this time,” she explained. “After a couple of days I couldn’t take it anymore and started calling around. I called the vet hospitals and the SPCA – I couldn’t make it through a single phone call without tears.” Jody and her children went door to door with a photo asking if anyone had seen the cat. Days went by and no sign of Spaz. “She’s very friendly and I thought maybe
somebody picked her up and she’s sitting on someone else’s couch right now.” Charlene Ratzinger, who lives in the neighbourhood, said that she believed Spaz may have been chased up a tree in her yard by her dog, possibly spending at least two weeks up there while she was out of town. “Jody showed up with a photo of the cat four days before we left to go camping, but we hadn’t seen it,” she said. “We took our dog and left for two weeks and found out that the neighbours heard a cat crying the whole time we were gone—they were very worried.” Oakes said that the sad thing is that over the weeks that Spaz was missing, she and her children would hear meowing when they went for walks. “I would meow back and we’d look everywhere but never
thought of looking up,” she explained. “She’d never climbed a tree before, and it sounded like the meowing was coming from a balcony in a certain spot. We called, ‘Come home, come home’ but she didn’t.” When Ratzinger returned home, she heard the meowing in her tree and spotted Spaz 40 feet up. “I called, ‘Kitty, kitty, kitty’ but got no answer,” she stated. “I remembered the name from the woman who showed me the photo, and when I called her name, the cat started crying. I knew it was Spaz and called the SPCA to let them know I’d found her and gave them my phone number to pass on.” Ratzinger said the cat appeared very weak and thin, and started phoning tree companies immediately to come and rescue Spaz. “I called all kinds of tree companies and no
one called me back, and I finally got the name of a tree guy from a friend,” she continued. “Tyler Hamm came and looked at the tree, said he could do it and came back with equipment and a backpack on backwards to carry her down. “He said the cat was so happy to come down. He could tell she’d been eating bark and was very ‘wavery.’” Oakes said that when she walked in the house and saw that the SPCA had phoned, she felt a surge of hope. “I called them back and got Charlene’s number – we were all so excited. Charlene brought our kitty back to us in person and we can’t thank her enough,” she continued. “Spaz was so thin and dehydrated and she couldn’t keep anything down for a while. After two weeks she’s finally getting her voice back.” She said she thinks

Jada-Lynn and Aiden Oakes and their parents were delighted and relieved when their cat Spaz was returned to them after spending several weeks 40 feet high in a tree. Spaz was in the tree the whole time. “She survived rain, 30 degree heat, thunder and lightning. I think what saved her was that
she was very sturdy, muscular and strong,” she noted. “I just want to say ‘thank you’ to everyone involved for bringing
our ‘family glue’ home to us. Life was never the same without her and we’re so happy to have her back. Our family is complete.” ADVERTORIAL

Roberts’ pottery show and sale goes this weekend Sage Birchwater Special to Tribune/Advisor
Williams Lake potter Anna Roberts is hosting a two-day show and sale of her burnished and glazed pottery on
Friday, Sept. 27 and Saturday, Sept. 28 at her home on Grebe Drive at the end of South Lakeside Drive. Roberts, who arrived in the Cariboo 55 years ago, has
been making pots since 1965. That’s when she discovered the region has many naturally-occurring materials useful in pottery-making. Roberts said her
work as a naturalist has influenced her use of natural forms, textures and colours in her potter-making. “I like to leave the outside of my pots unglazed to show
the interesting colour of local clays,” she said. Roberts’ one-of-akind outdoor pottery show and sale will run from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days, Friday and Saturday.

Robert E Moberg photo Recently the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition has supported log and timber home manufacturing in research and marketing iniatives.
CCBAC supports log and timber home sector The manufacture of log and timber homes has been a key industry in the Cariboo Chilcotin for many years, and recently the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition (CCBAC) has been proud to support the industry in research and marketing initiatives that address industry issues that are barriers to penetrating new markets. The manufacture of log and timber homes is important to the Cariboo Chilcotin. The industry adds value to our forest industry and positively impacts the overall economy of the area. These homes are in demand throughout the world with their high quality, beauty and excellent craftsmanship. The small environmental footprint compared to traditional building methods holds them in high regard in the burgeoning green economy. In order to ensure these homes can expand their market presence locally and be-
yond, it is critical that they are easily able to meet current and future building code standards worldwide. CCBAC is proud to have been able to support the research required to prove the energy efficiency of log and timber homes. By testing varying methods of log home construction for energy consumption and comparing the results to traditional building methods it is hoped that these structures will be soon be recognized as a certified and approved product in the building codes of most, if not all jurisdictions. This recognition will also be an important marketing tool, as energy consumption is a key factor for people considering a log or timber frame home. An effective marketing strategy is a key element of this project and is critical to the ongoing success and growth of this industry. Marketing surveys have been conducted and strategies are being devel-
oped to ensure log and timber home manufacturers can operate successfully now as well as plan for future market trends. As market conditions improve in the United States we are confident that we will see a resurgence of this industry in the region. We encourage you to visit; http://www. bclogandtimberbuilders.com/ and learn more about the industry that is so much a part of our history and our culture. The focus of CCBAC is on economic diversification, education and social sustainability, and this project is an excellent example of what can be done when stakeholders work together for a common cause. CCBAC was pleased to work with the Pine Beetle Epidemic Response Branch of the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, the BC Log and Timber Building Industry Association, Western Economic Diversification and the other Beetle
Action Coalitions to ensure the success of this project. Other examples of CCBAC supported projects in the region include The Gavin Lake Trail project; the “Ride the Cariboo” Mountain Bike Project, and “Art is Your Business” workshops. The Gavin Lake Project was spear-headed by the Gavin Lake Forest Education Centre and provides accessible trails so that locals and visitors can enjoy the outdoors, even with a physical disability; the “Ride the Cariboo” project is led by the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium and promotes the mountain biking experience in Cariboo communities and is already proving to be a significant draw for tourism; and the “Art is Your Business” workshops led by Island Mountain Arts provided area artists with the tools they need if they wish to create an income from their passion.

Forests fundamental to economy, culture, history and future Forests are fundamental to our economy, culture, history and future. Communities, families and individuals are linked to the forests around us. During National Forest Week, September 22 to 28, Canadians are encouraged and challenged to learn more about their forest heritage and support the greater recognition of this valuable resource. The B.C. forestry industry has been and will continue to be a key driver in the BC economy. More than 40 per cent of B.C.’s regional economies are forestry based and the industry is pleased to see a resurgence coming. Currently Tolko’s Soda Creek mill, Lakeview mill and Woodlands operations in Williams Lake employ more than 450 direct workers in conjunction with an additional workforce of harvesting and forestry contractors. Tolko also has a tradition of strong partnerships with local First Nations including joint venture companies that have operated successfully for over 20 years, such
as Ecolink Forest Services Ltd and Tsi Del Del Enterprises Ltd. Tolko is committed to growing our local communities for a brighter future – and Williams Lake is no exception. We take great pride in participating in community events such as the Williams Lake Stampede Parade, in addition we believe in giving back by donating lumber and to local community groups including 4H Club, Williams Lake Mountain Bike Club, Big Brothers and Sisters and by many employees volunteering their own time in building garden boxes in the Memory Garden. The theme of this year’s National Forest Week is “The Greenest Work Force.” The theme is intended to highlight the important work of forest practitioners and to promote the value in choosing forestry as a career. Tolko participated in the development and curriculum in the Wood Manufacturing Program at Thompson Rivers University. The five-week
Tolko photo The forestry industry offers a wide variety of careers – from production to Woodlands – there’s always something interesting happening. program gives students the opportunity to acquire the skills needed to enter into work in wood manufacturing. Tolko is hopeful the program will produce a number of grads that will help ease the labour shortage the industry is currently
facing. Tolko also recently provided scholarships to five local high school students as they continue on their journey to further their education. New and exciting opportunities for growth and
innovation within Canada’s forest sector offer something for everyone, from trades to production to working in a professional office setting or getting out in the woods with the Woodlands crew. Future forestry leaders can live
their dream of working where their passion lies. So during National Forest Week, we encourage you to get out into the forests, learn about your local forest heritage, and teach others what you have learned. Submitted by Tolko

Training Programs Build Skills and Opportunity in WL West Fraser’s Williams Lake mills are investing in skills training and people development The need for skills training is featured regularly on the news in B.C. The Canadian government has estimated a gap of as many as 22,000 to 32,000 skilled jobs in northern B.C. by 2020. Now, 2020 might seem like a long way away if that is when your mortgage payments finally end. However, for a company like West Fraser that believes in promoting from within, the process of people development must be a constant part of the activity at the mill. West Fraser’s Williams Lake divisions are focusing on their current employees to identify and provide training for the skilled workers and talented supervisors that will be leading the business in 2020. Dave Walgren, general manager for Williams Lake Plywood, believes “skill development and trades apprenticeships within our operations are an employee development
opportunity and retention strategy. We want people to grow within their roles and confidently apply their skills so we can be competitive as a business.” West Fraser has streamlined its internal skills development process. Employees first express interest in becoming certified as one of the trades in high demand at the mill, such as millwrights, heavy duty mechanics, electricians and saw filers. After an expression of interest, employees undergo some pre-apprenticeship aptitude testing, internal interviews and other selection activities. Once an employee apprentice is accepted into a department, they will learn under one of the mill’s existing ticketed journeymen within the apprenticeship program. “At the Williams Lake divisions, apprentices are supported in their journey to become certified,” says Matt Ketcham, general manager of Williams Lake Sawmill. “We pay their wages while in school, as well as
West Fraser photos West Fraser’s Williams Lake Sawmill maintenance department including apprenticeship and journeymen. tuition, books and provide some assistance with other expenses. Obtaining the end goal of certification requires a significant commitment from the employee and from the division.”
Over the last two years, the Williams Lake divisions have sponsored nine millwrights, four electricians, three heavy duty mechanics and three saw filers to complete their apprenticeships and achieve
a journeyman certification. Jim Polaski, a journeyman certified in 1997 and one of the Sawmill’s most experienced saw filers’ shares obvious pride about being involved in
educating apprentices at the mill. “I’ve enjoyed being in a position to mentor the apprentices that have learned their trade from me.” Submitted by West Fraser

Parallel Wood Products Ltd. is a remanufacturing facility located in Williams Lake, B.C. A single fingerjoint stud line as well as a block processing section operates at this location. We employ approximately 40 hard working men and women to process waste fibre from local sources and produce a quality product with a solid reputation. The owners, Pat and Richard Glazier, as well as their management team have a constant focus on creativity and innovation as a means to deploy sustainable business practices. With this in mind, there is a consistent desire to be good corporate neighbours and “do our part” to be a valued asset in the community. Such a vision is not pursued without cost. This quest brought with it the need to optimize the block trimming and sorting aspect of the operation to extract the highest recovery possible from the available fibre supply. Since there were no commercially available optimizers and associated handling systems

Parallel Wood Products
to process trim blocks, it was quickly realized that one would need to be developed “in house”. To achieve this, a sizable investment was made prior to the decline in the forest industry to design, develop and build a short block scan line. There were many hurtles and stumbling blocks encountered on the way, but each was viewed as just another opportunity to exercise creativity. The success of this venture has given the ability to process a much higher volume of rough stock with the existing workforce, resulting in sustainability and a future with greater security for our employees. The environment, and our impact on it, has always been of utmost concern when looking for ways to make our operation more effective and efficient. To further this cause, a more recent project was taken on this year to address the emissions and air quality outside of the mill. This latest move to reduce the environmental footprint comes in the form of
an air filter for the shavings and wood chip cyclones. Included with this was the addition of air locks to depressurize the storage bins to reduce the volume of dust being blown out of the bins during dumping. Again this comes at a great expense but is seen as absolutely necessary to remain consistent with the owner’s vision. With the installation of this filter we will become an almost zero emission operation. Although not the primary goal of the project, the filter has a muffling effect on the discharged air, reducing noise pollution as well. At Parallel Wood Products we feel it is imperative that we do not contribute to the degradation of the environment and local air shed any more than is absolutely necessary. As part of our mission, we will continue to search for new and innovative ways to make our operation better, whenever and wherever possible. Submitted by Parallel Wood Products

CELEBRATING FORESTRY
2013
Minister Thomson’s National Forest Week Message As B.C.’s Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, I’m pleased to celebrate National Forest Week from Sept 2228, 2013. This year’s theme, The Greenest Workforce, provides an opportunity to highlight B.C.’s forest industry’s contributions and commitment to sustainable resource management and a healthy environment. Our forest sector accounts for more than 56,000 direct jobs in communities across B.C. Biologists, forest health technicians, habitat specialists, tree planters, lab technicians, research scientists and lands officers are just a few of the careers that play an essential role in today’s forest industry. From sustainable forest management and water stewardship to wildlife protection and habitat conservation, forestry offers a range of opportunities for individuals wanting to contribute to a healthy environment and “green” future. B.C. is a world leader when it comes to managing its forests and rangelands. With more than 52 million hectares independently certified as sustainably managed, B.C.’s cutting edge forest management practices set us apart from other jurisdictions. As an example, in 2012 the Province planted approximately 40 million seedlings on more than 29,000 hectares in the Cariboo
A few suggestions from Tolko on how to participate in National Forest Week: - take a walk in woods nearby and get to know your forest - listen to the birds, identify different plants and enjoy being in nature - identify all the things at home or school that are made of wood - arrange a tree planting, National Tree Day is September 25 - care for a newly planted or neglected tree, and study its species - learn about the positive and negative effects of forest fires and how to prevent them - learn about organizations that demonstrate or help others with sustainable forest management Steve Thomson Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Region alone. These local reforestation efforts contributed greatly to B.C. being able to celebrate the planting of its seven billionth tree in March 2013. Forest operations and activities are important parts of maintaining a green workforce. Companies provincewide are upgrading their operations to ensure they remain at the forefront. Both Tolko and West Fraser have recently invested tens of millions of dollars in new equipment and innovative technology to increase efficiency, increase use of material previously considered waste and remain competitive in the global market.
These investments are signs of industry’s commitment to maintaining a successful, sustainable forest industry here in B.C. This year’s National Forest Week theme, The Greenest Workforce, is truly fitting to British Columbia’s forest sector. I’m confident that we will continue to lead the way in successful, sustainable forest management long into the future. During National Forest Week, I hope you take the opportunity to enjoy our forests firsthand and learn how B.C.’s forest industry is contributing to your community and supporting a healthy environment.
