ORANGE: Shirt Day
Inspiring the next generation Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer
Flyers Staples, Save On, Safeway, Laketown Furnishings Designated areas: Bosleys, Sears
A sea of orange filled Boitanio Park as hundreds of people gathered in Williams Lake Monday morning to mark the first-ever Orange Shirt Day, honouring residential school survivors and those who did not survive. “There was a photograph of a body builder from Italy wearing an orange shirt today on our Facebook page,” said Phyllis Webstad. She’s
the Canoe Creek band member whose story about having her brand new orange shirt taken away when she arrived at the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School at the age of six years old inspired the creation of Orange Shirt Day. Standing with her mother, father, grandfather and aunt, Webstad said every child matters, even if they are an adult. “At the Truth and Reconciliation event in Vancouver I learned reconciliation is not just for First Nations
and white people,” Webstad said. “It’s all of Canada, including the Jewish, Japanese and Chinese. We all need to be a part of reconciliation.” National Chief Shawn A-in-chut Atleo energetically addressed the crowd. “What’s up people of Orange Shirt Day,” he called out. “Kids, you heard Chief Anne Louie speaking her language. At one time they tried to take the chief’s language away, do you think that’s right?”

Many children and adults answered, “no.” Atleo said around 50 people, wearing orange shirts with the slogan “Every Child Matters,” had a photograph taken in front of the parliament buildings Monday morning. “Acts of reconciliation can be big and we’re going to be bold in this country,” he said. “It’s going to be about economic justice, it’s going to be about social justice and having our rights implemented.”

School children from around the district participating in Orange Shirt Day by drawing an imprint of their hands.
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake Indian Band chief Anne Louie said it is an honour to have so many people respect residential school survivors by participating in Orange Shirt Day. “Many suffer today because of cultural loss of our languages and our practices.” Any organizations or levels of government working with First Nations need to fully understand the impacts of residential schools, Louie added. Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said it was a tough day for many people and encouraged everyone to work together to move forward, respect the past, and make sure, as the T-shirts said, that every child matters. Mayor Kerry Cook told the crowd she was filled with hope for the future. “What happened here in May with the St. Joseph’s Mission
Residential School commemorative project and the truth and reconciliation hearings was so amazing,” Cook said. “It was powerful, it was difficult, but it started with people feeling comfortable sharing their story. It took a heck of a lot of courage for people to speak the truth of what happened.” Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond emceed the event and said Orange Shirt Day is growing nationally in nature. Richmond asked for a moment of silence to remember survivors who perished, especially Shadow Hawk, a residential school survivor who recently died. The school district has made commitments to create curriculum about local residential school history, to invite survivors into the schools to tell stories and to make Orange Shirt Day more than a one day event, said superintendent
Mark Thiessen. “Orange Shirt Day is much more than choosing what piece of wardrobe you wear on Sept. 30. We want to commit to making sure this is an every day occurrence and that we remind ourselves that every child matters.” School board chair Joyce Cooper, the district’s first-ever First Nations chair said she never guessed she would have the position. “We’re all survi-
vors,” Cooper said. “I spent seven years in residential school and promised myself I’d make a difference.” Students travelled from schools throughout the district, even as far as Nemiah and Horsefly to participate. Young girls Natasha Castro and Meaghan Amos sang two songs and Juno Award winning musician Murray Porter performed a residential school survivor inspired song.

CHAMBER: Meeting
Barnett sees Interior through rural lens Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Everything done by government has to have a rural lens on it, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett told the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce last Thursday. “I really believe we’re getting somewhere,” Barnett said. “Rural British Columbia is the backbone of the province. That’s where resource revenues come from and that’s where the dollars and cents come from.” When policies, legislation and regulations are made too often they are made without the rural lens, she said, adding as parliamentary secretary for rural development, she is happy Premier Christy Clark has added minister of rural development to the portfolio of Steve Thomson, the minister of forests, lands and
natural resource operations. “This step will only benefit rural B.C. — our industries, our small businesses.” One of the things that has alway aggravated her is the provincial permit process, Barnett said. She has people at her door step she’s been working with for four and a half years that started in 2003 or 2006 for a permit for small businesses and they still haven’t got permits through. “I know how Taseko feels,” Barnett said looking toward the table where Dave Rolleau, Gibraltar Mine’s VP of operations was sitting. “You’re a bigger business so I guess that’s why it takes longer than a smaller business.” Business needs to know a start date and an end date for a permit. They need to
know the process and sometimes the process changes at business moves along as policy and regulatory regimes change, Barnett said. Changing the permit system can improve our small business in B.C and particular in rural B.C., she added. Barnett has heard criticism because the legislature isn’t sitting right now and said the government only sits for a reason. “We sat in July, we had a budget, and we passed legislation. We are now working towards the next sitting. You don’t just sit because you like to sit there.” MLAs are out there now working and gaining information for the next spring. “We will have a throne speech, a budget and much legislation that will be put forward for debate in the house next spring.
Government under core review Barnett said the government is going through a core review and encouraged people to go online to make suggestions on how government can improve. “Please go online and let us know what
you would like to see changed.” The select standing committee on finance will be in Williams Lake on Oct. 8, and Barnett said the committee also needs to hear from people in the Cariboo Chil-
cotin. Stan Ashton is the chair of both committees and Barnett said whatever recommendations Ashton hears through the finance committee hearings will go a long way.
New outdoor recreation vehicle act in the works Many people have been waiting for a new outdoor recreation vehicle act, Barnett said, explaining she sits on the government cabinet environmental land
use committee, which is a very powerful and important committee. “We’re hoping it will be put to the floor next spring,” she said. “It is very impor-

tant for hunting, guiding and recreation, and tourism product to have done so we can promote and bring dollars and cents to the whole province.”

Employee named operator of the year The city of Williams Lake congratulates Water and Sewer Division foreman John Halfnights on being named the Environmental Operators Certification Program (EOCP) Operator of the Year. Halfnights, a city employee for over 40 years, was presented the award recently in Nanaimo at the Public Works Association of British Columbia Technical Conference. He was nominated by a fellow Water and Sewer Division employee Pat Mahood. In his nomination submission to EOCP, Mahood said John goes the extra mile to support the city’s system, customers and crew. “His experience is an invaluable asset to our department... junior operators com-
John Halfnights ing into our utility and being trained by John get a leg up in the industry,” Mahood wrote. “Not every operator can say they have worked with such a good mentor, with experience in so many aspects of the field, and with the dedication required
to provide water and sewer services for a community 24 hours a day seven days a week. Working with John “rubs off ” and creates a better operator that has seen and worked with a true and dedicated professional.” “John is an invaluable asset to the city of Williams Lake as a Water and Sewer Operator as well as a role model for all public works employees,” says Manager of Water and Waste Joe Engelberts. “He leads by example with a very strong work ethic and dedication rarely seen in this day and age. Although he could have retired several years ago, his dedication to his profession keeps him coming to work for the citizens of Williams Lake.” In addition to his
work at the city, John is an active volunteer for a number of organizations, and has served as the president of the local Royal Canadian Legion branch. “The city is very proud of John, who has been a dedicated employee for over 40 years,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “He has an extensive knowledge of the city’s water and sewer systems, and passes this knowledge on to other operators, improving delivery of these vital services. This is a well-deserved award, and I am pleased to see his commitment and caring for his crew and community acknowledged.” Halfnights will be recognized by council at the Oct. 8 council meeting.

Director of Municipal Services Kevin Goldfuss addresses water and sewer infrastructure concerns with residents during the public budget meeting held at the fire hall Monday evening.
Attendance up for second 2014 budget meeting Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Continued work on the city’s water and sewer infrastructure, cleanliness of Boitanio Park and improved access to council meetings were some of the main themes the public shared during a meeting hosted by the city at the fire hall Monday evening. “We also heard that people don’t mind paying for services as long as they can see they are being managed responsibly,” Coun. Geoff Bourdon said Tuesday. Around 10 residents attended the meeting
and some suggested council meetings should be recorded and posted on the Internet for better public access. Bourdon felt the format of council members sitting at tables with members of the public was a good choice. “Obviously we’d always like to see more people come out to the meetings, but other than that it was much better than just presenting to the public,” he said. Monday’s meeting was the second in a series of attempts by the city to make the budget process more
transparent and to encourage public input. “I think it was fantastic ten people came out to discuss the budget with council,” chief administrative officer Darrell Garceau said. People who sat at the table he was at, had lots of good opinions. “Elected officials would pose a question and the people in attendance would offer their ideas. There was criticism on some aspects and I think the conversations were very good.” A good number of suggestions were gathered in the evening’s
notes that will be considered by council in its next series of meetings as it attempts to nail down the 2014 budget, Garceau added. The next meeting is slated for Oct. 10, during the day, when the city’s various departments will present business plans. It will take place during the day because it is a lengthy session, however, Garceau said the public is welcome to observe the process. There will be followup budget meetings on Oct. 16 and 17, and the provisional budget approval will take place on Nov. 19.

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus
Deep freeze keeps on ticking
Respect is the foundation moving forward
T
his is a story about an old domestic Viking deep freezer. It’s been in the French family for more than 50 years, and we got it second hand. It started its years of service at Alexis Creek in the home of Bill and Edna Telford. They bought it from Eaton’s catalog. It was o n e of the first freezFrench ers in a priConnection vate Diana French home in the comm u nity. My husband was the graderman at Alexis Creek at the time, and the job required the operator to have a pickup truck. When he went to Anahim Lake as road foreman, he didn’t need a pickup. Bill, who took over as graderman, did, so we traded Telfords the truck for their freezer. They’d had it maybe two years. It is a big, heavy beast. It made the then bumpy trip to Anahim in the back of a dump truck. It went to Bridge Lake by professional movers but moved, by pickup, to a different house there, then to Williams Lake, again by professionals. Fast forward to the 1990s when my husband and I sold the family home to Son #3 and family. The freezer went with the house because we didn’t think it would last another move even if we could get it out of the basement. The freezer looks its age, and goodness knows how much electricity it gobbles, but it is still going strong. We had a fridge that lasted almost 30 years, but I wonder if the freezer’s longevity isn’t some kind of a record? *** We Canadians complain about things, but thank heaven for medicare. Rightwing senators in the U.S. are so against President Barack Obama’s plan they are threatening to shut the entire government down rather than allow it. Why? Maybe they agree with Fox News Channel that “Obamacare is little more than a thinly veiled scheme to force Americans to live longer.” Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune.

t was very powerful experience celebrating Orange Shirt Day Monday in Boitanio Park. It was great to have Assembly of First Nations National Chief S h aw n Atleo a n d Murray Porter back in Williams Lake. Kerry Cook A l l of the speakers focussed on the fact that every child matters, even when they are not children anymore. As Superintendent of Schools Mark Thiessen said, we need to be respectful not only when talking to others, but when we are behind closed doors as well. Respect is the foundation of healthy relationships. We all need to do our part to promote healing and moving forward. School District 27 has committed to creating new curriculum addressing Canada’s residential schools, and to inviting residential school survivors into school to share their stories. This is very welcome and long overdue. Thanks to Phyllis Webstad and the Orange Shirt Day committee, City Social Development Manager Anne Burrill, and the CRD for all of their effort. Gibraltar Mine celebrated their commitment to the Cariboo last week, highlighting the recent capital expansion. The $325 million expansion means an additional 150 workers at the mine, most of them from Williams Lake. Gibraltar’s annual payroll is $70 million, with 94 per cent of that staying in the local economy. Gibraltar also spends over $100 million each year in the region on services and supplies. Congratulations to the six local riders who took part in the 850-kilometre Cops for Cancer Tour de North. Cops for Cancer has raised more than $300,000, including funds from the Tour de North, and the recent Jail n’ Bail, in which both the CAO and I were thrown in the slammer. It was a great experience for a very worthy cause! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.
From the Mayor’s Chair
Our Viewpoint
The NDP’s renewal Adrian Dix’s recent announcement that he is stepping down as the leader of B.C.’s New Democrats could have a ripple effect locally as potential candidates consider throwing their hats into the ring. Burnaby-New Westminster NDP MP Peter Julian is so far perhaps the most prominent name to say he’s considering vying for the job. He’s received awards as a businessperson. He’s had experience as a blue-collar labourer. He’s developed ties amongst the myriad of cultural groups in his riding, home to 100 languages. And he’s proven his mettle in Parliament — whether it’s holding the Conservatives’ feet to the fire or conducting a 13-hour filibuster over two-and-a-half days while serving as the Opposition finance critic during last year’s budget debate. If he decides to run, Julian would be entering a field that unofficially in-
cludes MLAs Mike Farnworth and John Horgan, both runners-up from the last leadership contest, and potentially even Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, a lawyer with a definite gift of the gab. The Globe and Mail included Corrigan on its recent list of potential candidates for the job, noting he has experience running a municipality deemed the best-run city in Canada and calling him “blunt and forthright.” Whoever enters the race, the leadership contest will be a relief to many after months of uncertainty following Dix’s disaster of an election last spring where he managed what seemed inconceivable only months earlier — blowing a 20-point lead in the polls to lose an election that appeared his for the taking. A new New Democrat leader will give the party a sense of renewal and the party faithful a reason to look forward to 2017.

Global warming nothing but environmental hysteria Editor: The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has timidly admitted there has been no global warming in 16 years. The climate Armageddon forecast in 1997 by Al Gore in his movie, An Inconvenient Truth, turned out to be environmental hysteria. He said in 15 years coastal cities like Vancouver could be underwater. Carbon dioxide levels have risen in that time but not sea levels — there has been no global warming. Reputable scientists have proved that climate variations are natural occurrences just like
www.wltribune.com A7
summer and winter. Warming and cooling has a direct correlation with sunspot and sunflare activity, which makes sense. How come Gore hasn’t said: “I was wrong. Sorry for scaring everyone?” Well, he’s made a quarter of a billion dollars with his companies which manufacture wind turbines, solar panels, his investments in associated companies and his film sales, which also are advertising which help sell his products. So he is richer than most of the filthy rich one percenters. That giant, multinational corporation Greenpeace has also remained silent. They have made a fortune milking a con-
cerned public. They can’t collect money to control sunspot activity so they push the myth of man-made global warming. This loopy theory promoted by activists impersonating scientists has been a cash cow and is even used by governments to raise taxes. A carbon tax for what? The moral of the story is don’t believe everything you read, especially if it’s literature written by someone like David Suzuki, who has a ‘donate here’ spot at the bottom of his scary, global warming scenarios based on deranged science.

Talking the beef as we approach annual fall comfort-food zone It’s a fast, fast world we live in today and that need for speed is aptly illustrated in many ways during the course of a normal day; it seems that hardly a soul has the patience to wait for anything although in a lot of instances, only a slow process will render; great taste, tenderness and quality. Yes, I’m talking beef, again, as we approach the comfortfood-zone on our calendars, marked by those crisp fall days
Letters aLways weLcome
Cattle Fodder Liz Twan that instil a craving (in you) for the kind of home-cooked food that your mother made you (if you were lucky) as a child (if you’re over 50).
When those cravings hit and the urge to cook a meal like mom-made grabs you, your first stop will likely be the meat counter at a local super market and that is where you might realize what changes, the needfor-speed have wrought. The selection has altered dramatically, the majority of the beef-cuts on display are meant for quick and easy preparation; it is getting more difficult to find large-size beef cuts, bone-
in, to find a short rib that still has its bone. A flank steak (whole) is another elusive cut, both are so delicious when properly prepared (slowly). Another illustration of changing times, emphasized by my interaction with the young grocery store clerk ringing in my chunk of corned beef. She asked, was it any good and how do you cook it anyhow?
Comfort food has been taking a bashing for the last decade or so, but with a little care (judicious trimming) it can still be enjoyed. Slow cooking is key but, in our modern world, if you can’t be home like mother, a machine can do it for you and one thing will remain a constant — the entire house will still smell so good when you arrive back home!

Toosey gets new health centre Construction on a new health centre in Tl’esqox (Toosey) began Tuesday, Oct. 1, coinciding with the official transfer of administration of health authorities across the province to a new First Nations health authority. “This is a very interesting project in that it shows the very seamless transfer from the feds being the program funder and managing the programs, to having that transfer to the First Nations,” Health Canada’s Mark Fitzsimmons said recently during a ground breaking celebration at Toosey. Part of the transfer took place in July for the B.C. tripartite framework agreement on First Nations health authority and
the full transfer took place Tuesday. Attributing Chief Francis Laceese and the band council for pulling the project together quickly, Fitzsimmons said in early August the project was actually slated for 2014. But when an opportunity arose because Health Canada suddenly had a bit of extra money, the band was encouraged to get the architectural plans, put out and award the tender, and start construction before winter. As he grabbed a shovel for the official ground breaking, Laceese said the new health centre will benefit all ages. He encouraged youth to consider health professions in the future. “We’re going to need staff to run the new building,”
Laceese said. “We’re going to need nurses and doctors, so think about that. We have a growing nation and it’s important we try to fill those positions.” Traditional medicines are important for the youth to learn about too, Laceese said. “I encourage you to learn from our elders the traditional medicine that is passed down,” he told a group of young women who were drumming and singing. Band council member Georgina Johnny said the community is looking forward to the new building and the time of excitement will be when she walks into the new building. “This is something we have been waiting for, for a long time and a lot of people played a part in getting it started,” she
said. Health manager Teresa Johnny arrived in the community in 1990 and has always wanted the community to have a new health building. Architect David Kitizaki of David Nairne Assoc. Ltd., originally from the T’it’k’t First Nation (Lilloeet) said the new building will be have Douglas Fir beams, wood framing, using local wood products, and local carpenters. Kitizaki designed the new health buildings at Yunesi’tin (Stone), Tl’etinqox’t’in (Anaham) and a school gym for the Nuxalk First Nation in Bella Coola. Marty Lauren of Lauren Brothers Construction, awarded the contract, said his company worked with Kitizaki on the gym in Bella Coola.

Speaker projects 25 per cent business reduction Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer During the next five years, 25 per cent of businesses in B.C. will be looking to sell or transition, Corey Sigvaldson told the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce at its monthly lunch meeting last Thursday. “Eighty-five per cent is due to retirement and the aging population,” he said. Sigvaldson works with Venture Connect, a company dedicated to working with businesses and communities. The company was started by six community futures on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. “We started doing research into the demographic shift taking place in B.C.,” Sigvaldson said. “We’re seeing store fronts more and more for sale and lease, and more businesses going down.” Around 31 per cent of the 25 per cent will just close the doors, not transition. “If you think of it as a street scape in your downtown, shut down

About half of the business owners planning to retire, plan to transition the business to a family member, he
added. Deciphering the numbers for the Cariboo region, he said there are 4,800 business, 2,600 have employees, and 2,200 are owner/operator. “That 25 per cent that are going to transition represents 1,144 over the next five years,” Sigvaldson said.

“I don’t know about you, but that’s a pretty big number. The 31 per cent that would close represents 55 business — large and small.” One of the biggest stumbling blocks is being ready to sell. Only six per cent have a plan, and the extent of the plan might be to call a realtor.
“I would call that a limited plan,” he commented. “I would probably want to do a little bit more.” Another 29 per cent have an unwritten plan, but the vast majority has no plan and about 90 per cent have no identified buyer. And the average time to sell a business is growing rapidly. Back in 2008 it was about eight to nine months, a few years back it was about a year, and the most recent stats he’s seen are about 18 months. However, those stats combine urban areas with rural areas, and urban areas have far quicker transitions. “As business owners we can be our own worse enemies and get in the way of selling,” Sigvaldson said, suggesting business owners hire someone to help with the transition of selling a business. He also encouraged business owners to get their “house in order.” Having the business finances prepared and an attractive looking business to show potential buyers is two ways to achieve that order, he added.

Forestry blockades come down Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Even though two blockades impacting forestry operations in the Chilcotin were dismantled last weekend, Yunesit’in (Stone) band members continue to monitor the one at the junction of the 2800 and 3200 forestry road, said Yunesit’in Chief Russell Myers Ross Tuesday. Band members are still occupying the blockade but are not stopping operations being conducted by
Tolko’s contractor, Westline Harvesting Ltd. “Westline Harvesting Ltd. met with the group on Friday and had agreed to a meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 1. I sent my councillor Gabe Pukacz to go to the meeting with the blockaders,” Myers said. The day after the meeting, Westline sought an injunction, Myers said, adding the judge granted them the injunction to bring to Orry Hance, who was leading the blockade.
“I ended up going out there on Saturday and amongst ourselves we talked about it and came to the conclusion that Orry would stand down and allow Westline to continue harvesting.” Community members are hoping for a follow up meeting with the province, Myers added. One of the main issues with the Hance’s blockade is moose hunting. “There are no hunting signs out there and Orry said, in the man-
ner of following the law, he’s actually turned quite a few hunters away, which kind of shows how unregulated the moose hunting is in the area,” Myers said. Members of the Myers family who set up the blockade at Yannah, approximately 50 kilometres from Lee’s Corner toward Nemiah Valley, met with West Fraser last week. “West Fraser agreed not to log any more blocks in the area, and the road block came down,” Myers said, adding West Fraser
agreed to clean up the area to the Myers family’s satisfaction. Tolko’s woodlands manager Jerry Mooney said the company is pleased the blockade has been lifted. “I would like to acknowledge the role of Sgt. Mike Hacker from the Alexis Creek detachment for facilitating a peaceful outcome,” Mooney said, adding Tolko looks forward to working with government and the Stone band to strengthen their relationship.
Life lessons turn out to be ageless wonders A long time ago, I was walking home at dusk from a friend’s after we had worked on a project and had supper together. My house was a little over a mile away and I was OK with the walk. I was on a road that was usually busy but people must have been eating supper because there was not a lot of traffic. In the back of my mind, was a primitive awareness of the relative alone-ness of the situation, the fading light and the distance to be walked and how those three things might represent a possible danger. But, it was starting to rain a bit so I just started walking. There were no sidewalks and not a very wide road shoulder so any cars that did pass seemed to be going very fast and always got me with a bit of ‘extra moisture’ in the form of mud. It wasn’t long be-

sured, I climbed into the car, hoping to hide my embarrassment but not having a clue what else to do since I did have my thumb out for a ride. “Hey,” she said‚ “didn’t your mother ever tell you not to hitchhike?” and, as she chuckled, my heart sank. “I knew it,” ran through my mind over and over and I was now back to concerned. I couldn’t see the woman’s face in the dim light but all the warnings came flooding back to me and I realized that I had, indeed, just got into the car of a stranger. She was quiet after her initial question and seemed to be concentrating on driving in the worsening weather. In silence, we drove straight to my house and, in my fear, I didn’t even notice she had not asked where I lived. She drove into the driveway, the porch

City Employee Named Operator of the Year
The City of Williams Lake would like to congratulate Water and Sewer Division foreman John Halfnights on being named the Environmental Operators Certification Program (EOCP) Operator of the Year. John, a City employee for over 40 years, was presented the award recently in Nanaimo at the Public Works Association of British Columbia Technical Conference. “John is an invaluable asset to the City of Williams Lake as a Water and Sewer Operator as well as a role model for all public works employees,” says Manager of Water and Waste Joe Engelberts. “He leads by example with a very strong work ethic and dedication rarely seen in this day and age. Although he could have retired several years ago, his dedication to his profession keeps him coming to work for the citizens of Williams Lake.” In addition to his work at the City, John is an active volunteer for a number of organizations, and has served as the president of the local Royal Canadian Legion branch. “The City is very proud of John, who has been a dedicated employee for over 40 years,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “He has an extensive knowledge of the City’s water and sewer systems, and passes this knowledge on to other operators, improving delivery of these vital services. This is a well-deserved award, and I am pleased to see his commitment and caring for his crew and community acknowledged.” John will be recognized by Council at the October 8th Council meeting.

Peer support for breastfeeding success Angie Mindus Staff Writer World Breastfeeding Week Oct. 1-7 is underway and members of the local community prenatal committee are encouraging this year’s theme; peer support for breastfeeding success. “Just like anything, breastfeeding can have its challenges but it’s so much easier when you have support,” said committee member Karen Irvine, childbirth educator and breastfeeding counsellor. The committee’s role is to identify issues and needs in the community and “to make Williams Lake a healthy community to have babies in.” Irvine said there are many ways to support a breastfeeding mother for success. Friends can make meals for new moms, help with housing cleaning if she wants and offer to sit with older siblings. Irvine said it’s also important for friends to support a mother’s
choice to breastfeed and for mothers to educate themselves on breastfeeding even before the baby is born. “We know breastfeeding education before (the baby is born), translates into breastfeeding success later,” she said. Jordan Davis, also a childbirth educator and certified lactation educator, said even though they may be tempted, new mothers wanting to breastfeed should not offer their babies formula. “Even one wellmeaning formula feeding can begin to sabotage a mother’s milk supply,” Davis said. Irvine and Davis said it’s critical that mothers take advantage of breastfeeding support earlier rather than later if they’re having trouble. In Williams Lake, women can look for support from the Pregnancy Outreach Program, public health or the maternity ward at the hospital.

BC Livestock Co-op auctioneers Wayne Jordan of Kamloops (standing) and Wayne Pincott (Buffalo Creek/100 Mile) are on the job at the Third Annual Pacific Invitational All Breeds Female Sale, which took place over the weekend in Williams Lake. Sale-contributors trucked their purebred animals in from all over B.C., as far north as Houston, Fort St. James and as far south as Abbotsford. The buyers traveled from various points in B.C. and Alberta. The two Waynes, with their arms raised, are both signalling they each have a particular bidder spotted and require a new bid from each to stay in the auction. The two men worked the sale together, alternating the auctioneering duties as they sold all of the cattle on offer. Both are young and full of energy and give every appearance of enjoying their jobs.

More resources needed to tackle suicide Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Under sunny skies people in Williams Lake gathered to tackle the heavy subject of suicide last Wednesday during a suicide and sudden death prevention event. Around 20 attended the opening at Boitanio Park, gathering around a tree the city has provided to remember all the people who have committed suicide. “The tree is fitting,” Cariboo Regional District director Joan Sorely said. “It’s kind of struggling like our community. We need more resources.” Sorley held two separate pamphlets from memorials of men she knows who committed suicide this year. One man battled depression, phoned the doctor one morning to see if he could have an appointment. “He was told he couldn’t get in until the next day,” Sorley shook her head and said he took his life later that day. Speaking on behalf of the city, Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said the community needs to commit to helping people. “It’s a shame to lose people in our commu-

Luckily a coworker helped and listened. “This guy let me put my head on his shoulder, and if I hadn’t talked to someone that would have been my biggest mistake,” Rathor said.
“I still owe him my life.” Family counsellor Bettina Schoen, who helped co-ordinate the event, said 3,500 people die from suicide in Canada each year and across the globe, the number is a staggering one million. “Someone dies from suicide every 40 seconds,” she said. In 2011, there were 426 deaths by suicide, and of those 317 were
male and 109 were female, and August being the month with the most suicides for males and February for females, cited a B.C. government vital statistics report. From the park, people walked to Lake City Secondary School Carson Campus, carrying a huge World Suicide Prevention Day banner. At the school there was food, music, entertainment, a film,

British Columbia boasts a greater variety of game species than anywhere else in Canada and many of our opportunities are world class. Hunting is a popular and healthy recreational activity for many in the province. Some upcoming changes to the hunting licensing program will make it easier and more affordable to start hunting in BC. These changes will give youth and other new hunters an opportunity to find out if they enjoy hunting, and to begin the social and participatory process of actually becoming a hunter, before requiring them to go through the time and monetary commitment of taking hunter safety training - the Conservation Outdoor Recreation Education (CORE) course. HUNTING LICENCE FOR YOUTH The $7.00 junior licence currently available for youth aged 10 - 13 will be expanded soon to include youth aged 14 - 17 and will be renamed a “youth licence”. This change will provide youth with
the opportunity to try hunting without the requirement to take CORE. An acknowledgement of responsibility signed by a parent or guardian is still required for all youth under 18 years of age. The youth licence is issued on behalf of the youth, but held by the parent or guardian. As always, any youth who wants to take CORE and get their own regular hunting licence and bag limit entitlement can still do so. All youth under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an experienced supervising hunter. INITIATION HUNTING LICENCE A new initiation hunting licence is planned to be introduced in the near future. This new licence will allow a person 18 years or older who has never previously held a hunting licence in B.C. to try hunting for a period of time. It is a one-time-only licence and requires that the person be accompanied by an experienced supervising hunter. The cost of the initiation licence is still under review. ACCOMPANYING HUNTERS ARE MENTORS
Photo courtesy Omineca Guide & Outfitters Both a youth licensed hunter and an initiation licensed hunter are required to be accompanied by an adult licensed hunter. An accompanying hunter must be a BC resident hunter 18 years of age or older who meets certain qualifications. Persons hunting under the youth licence or initiation licence will not have their own bag limit. Any wildlife killed by a youth hunter or initiation hunter will be included in the bag limit of the accompanying hunter. A maximum number may be set for either youth or initiation hunters, or both, that may be accompanied at the same time by one mentor hunter. These proposed requirements for an accompanying hunter

addition to the various techniques for stalking game. These matters are covered in mandatory hunter education courses (e.g. CORE), but further study, especially under field conditions, is necessary in order to truly become a hunter. Generally, the acquisition of such skills requires a mentor. The new initiative related to the licensing of youth and new hunters, including requirements for the accompanying hunter, are still being finalized. The changes aim to increase recreational opportunities for you and others to hunt in BC, to keep hunting affordable for families and to increase hunter recruitment and retention.

hunters do so under the tutelage of an older relative, usually their father or mother, grandfather or grandmother, or uncle or aunt. Those that come to hunting outside of a family setting usually do so in a manner that simulates the same path, such as befriending a hunter and becoming their protégé.

ing hunting does not make an individual see themselves as a hunter. Becoming a hunter is a protracted learning and social process. Advice on where to hunt and how to hunt can be difficult to obtain. New hunters need advice on where to hunt both in a general geographic sense and in the sense of being shown what type of habitat and terrain they should investigate for the species they seek. The actual techniques of hunting must also be learned. Fundamentals of firearms care and use, wilderness survival and orienteering, hunting ethics, basic equipment, first aid and care of game meat must be understood in

Fall 2013
Smoking meat for beginners Many people associate barbecuing and grilling with cooking outdoors. But smoking food is another way to create succulent, fall-off-the-bone meat and poultry outdoors. Smoking meats involves cooking the food over a low temperature in a smoky environment for several hours -- sometimes overnight. The low temperature, between 180 and 220 F, causes the wood and charcoal used to smoke and smolder rather than burn. This is what imparts a smoky flavor to whatever is being cooked. Although there are specialized smokers available for sale, you can also smoke foods with a regular barbecue grill or even a homespun creation. There are two methods of smoking:dry and wet. Dry smoking uses indirect heat to cook the food, while wet smoking employs a water pan to produce moisture that keeps temperatures consistent and may help keep food tender. For those who run out and purchase a new smoker, most smoking experts advise seasoning the smoker prior to first use. Much as you would season a new cast-iron pan or other cooking appliance, you can season a smoker to ensure there aren’t any chemicals
place it on the coals. Certain foods work better with smoking than others. Oily fish, pork, beef, lamb, and game meats are some of the best options. Poultry can also be smoked, but be advised the skin on a turkey or chicken may not stand up well to intense smoking. It may need to be removed prior to eating. Pairing food with the right woods can also create an enjoyable flavor. Alder wood produces a delicate flavor, as does apple and cherry. For more assertive smokiness, try hickory, oak or pecan. Mesquite is still
full-bodied but lighter than the other woods and creates a sweeter flavor. Aromatics, such as herbs, fruit peels or cinnamon sticks, also can be added to produce even more flavor. Aromatics with a high oil content will produce a stronger flavor. Putting a rub on food prior to smoking can also give it added flavor. Many chefs also like to brine foods, especially poultry, to help tenderize the meat before smoking. While the meat is smoking, resist the urge to take off the cover and check it frequently. This will allow the heat and
smoke to escape. You may end up extending the cooking time every time you remove the cover. Only open the smoker to refill the water tray if you are doing a wet smoke. Much in the way an indoor slow cooker needs to remain closed to cook efficiently, so does a smoker. Many people prefer to do their smoking during daylight hours rather than leaving a smoker unattended during the night. In this case, you may need to wake up very early to put the meat on to ensure it is cooked at mealtime. Ribs can take 5 to 7 hours to
smoke, while briskets and roasts may need an hour or more per pound. Always use a thermometer to check internal temperature before serving smoked meats. As you gain experience, you may be able to better judge the cooking times needed for certain foods. Start with meats that are at room temperature before placing them on the smoker. Smoked foods can be flavorful and tender. They may take a little longer to achieve than other cooking methods, but most home chefs find the results are worth the added effort.

or oil residues from manufacture left on the smoker. Otherwise, you may transfer a chemical taste to your meal. Set up the smoker according to the directions. Allow it to run for at least two hours to burn off any residue. Afterward, you should be able to smoke your first piece of meat. There are a few tips to consider before embarking on your first smoking adventure. Always keep the water pan full if you are

doing a wet smoke. The water will help to keep food tender. When smoking for the first time, start out with a small amount of wood or aromatics in the smoker to experiment with flavor. You can always add more the next time for an intense smoky flavor. Wood chips and any other additions to the smoker may last longer by wetting the chips and then bundling them in a foil packet. Punch holes into the packet and

Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves defenceman Dawson Billyboy (right) crashes the net following a shot from the right-wing boards by Jordan Bunce Sunday during the Williams Lake Bantam Rep Icebreaker Tournament. The T-wolves went a perfect 4-0 on the weekend beating Prince George’s tier 2 and 3 teams, and Quesnel.
Bantam rep squads solid at icebreaker The Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves capped off a perfect weekend Sunday beating the Prince George Tier 2 Cougars, 7-0, at its icebreaker tournament in Williams Lake. The Timberwolves carried the play through most of the game and were able to score repeatedly on a Prince George team they’d beaten 6-0 the previous day. Sunday’s contest saw both teams spend a considerable amount of time in the penalty box, however, Williams Lake was able to capitalize on its chances to
seal the win. Williams Lake netminder Hayden Lyons recorded his second consecutive shutout against the Cougars, helping Williams Lake wrap up a perfect 4-0 weekend which saw them outscore their opponents 27-3. Scoring for Williams Lake in Sunday’s win were Daine DuBois, Corey Loring, Brett Alexander, Cody Swan, Dylan McNeil, William Paynton and Jimmy Belleau. See BANTAM Page A20

Alkali Lake Braves jersey goes to school Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer School children from Esk’etemc (Alkali Lake) received an unexpected gift from National Chief Shawn A-in-chut Atleo during Orange Shirt Day — the event honouring residential school survivors and those who never made it — held in Boitanio Park Monday in Williams Lake. Atleo invited the students, staff, Chief Fred Robbins and former chief Charlene Belleau up to receive the gift. “I want these kids to receive this jersey,” Atleo said. The jersey was one worn on opening night by the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants during a game held Friday, Sept. 20, commemorating the Alkali Braves.
“There was a man by the name of Alec Antoine that was one of the best players on that team,” Atleo told the kids. “Antoine was going to residential school and sports was a way of survival.” Atleo said he wanted the children to know they come from greatness and genius, but were told at one point in time their people weren’t smart and could not accomplish great things. “We’re here to remind them today that they do come from greatness, genius and brilliance, that’s this little story. I want the schools to come together and learn this story together and of all the lineages of the students and all of the pasts. That’s when reconciliation will really

Retirement is music to Joyce Norberg's ears. At 77, the Williams Lake resident is actively playing piano, singing and emceeing Legion events. When Norberg's not making music she spends her time painting, golfing and even curling.

Living life to the fullest, senior style Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer As she sits playing the piano, producing a nice full confident sound, Joyce Norberg says she decided to learn to play the piano when she retired in 1996. The 77-year-old Williams Lake resident also took up painting after retirement and dozens of paintings and painted items fill her living room. “I started painting anything and everything,” she says. Was she artistic when she was young? “I only ever doo-
dled,” she insists. Joyce arrived in the Lakecity in 1964 after her husband was hired as a barber by Bernie Charron, who had a shop on First Avenue and Oliver Street. She wasn’t happy with the move, she recalls. Giving up her bookkeeping job at Kelly Douglas in Burnaby was a sacrifice and she wondered how a “city gal” was going to fit into “this little town.” To her amazement, she immediately discovered that people were friendly. “You went into any
store and people said, ‘you’re new, where are you from?” she recalls. One of the harder challenges, however, was finding a job. She had been learning how to work on a computer back at Kelly Douglas in 1955 — it was called a 1404 and was a big machine. “I was desperate and heard by word of mouth, because it was very easy to hear things in those days here, that Norberg and Matheson Insurance was looking for an “older lady,” older than a teenager. I was 28,” she chuckles. It was a son and

mother-run business and when Joyce was interviewed she told co-owner Ollie Matheson she could type and do bookkeeping, didn’t know insurance, but was willing to learn. They hired her in 1964, and throughout her career she had many learning opportunities through attending seminars and taking university courses. The big companies in those days used to allow the agencies to send employees out for training. Joyce and her first husband had two sons — Brady and Colin. She was in her 30s and went back to work soon after they were born because maternity leave was three weeks long in those days. “I was lucky because
I had a great neighbour across the street who looked after my boys and I only worked until 3 p.m. so that was good too.” Her bosses were also helpful and understood if she had to stay home with a sick child. Eventually she married Reg Norberg in 1991, and they sold the business in 1992. She wasn’t quite ready to quit, and stayed on a few more years. Reg is a lifetime Royal Canadian Legion member, so in 1983, Joyce joined the Ladies Legion Auxiliary, and then joined the Legion in 1991, becoming treasurer, later membership chair, and last year moved to president.

The two women are great friends and neighbours living at Glen Arbor and just recently came back from a Hawaiian cruise together.

Volunteers are at the heart of the kitchen at the Senior's Activity Centre, which serves a hot lunch five days a week. From left, Joyce Smithson, Lynda Wilson, Debbie Shawara, Doris Elliott, Doris Neuert and Ellen Wiege whip up lunch recently. The ladies are finding their way around the recently upgraded kitchen.
Activity centre plays vital role for seniors Angie Mindus Staff Writer As the name suggests the Williams Lake Senior’s Activity Centre is a place for seniors to connect, stay active and be supported amongst their peers. The Williams Lake and District Senior’s Activity Centre Society (WLDSECS),
which runs the centre, has about 500 members and one paid part time manager, Glenda Winger. Acting WLDSACS president Sondra Giske says about 70 volunteers help run the centre, including the all-important kitchen, which serves delicious homemade lunches from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. five
days a week. There is also a limited concession available Saturdays at Bingo. Giske said three programs run under the umbrella of the WLDSECS; bingo, senior’s advocate and the new Better at Home program. Trained volunteers are available to act as senior’s advocate every Tuesday from 1 to
3 p.m. Giske said the advocate program helps seniors with everything from government forms to health and safety issues, to reporting of abuse and even assistance with living arrangements. “Anything that comes our way,” said Giske, herself a trained advocate. “A lot of the se-
niors who come here for help do not have enough funding to get them through the month.” Giske said many seniors in Williams Lake are faced with financial hardship as well as a lack of support for many of the issues they face aging. See PROGRAMS Page A26

nothing they can do, so they often go without,” she said. A new program coming to Williams Lake however is anticipated to fill some of the gaps for seniors. Better at Home is a provincially-funded volunteer-based program intended to help seniors stay in their homes longer. Volunteers will be trained to offered nonmedical assistance to clients, such as household tasks, home visits and transportation. Williams Lake has received three years of funding for this program and is currently searching for for a parttime paid co-ordinator to get the program going. “I think it’s wonderful that these seniors will have someone to turn to to assist them, or even just be there to listen,” Giske said. Under the program, the co-ordinator will also be able access contractors to help seniors with challenges facing them at hone, such as repairs to their home. Giske said if the client can afford it, they will help pay for the work on a sliding scale. She noted volunteers will be needed once the program is operational.

The Cariboo Chilcotin Youth Fiddlers enjoy a fiddle workshop experience at the historic Onward Ranch this past weekend, focusing on the ‘Fiddle History of Canada’ with the goal of learning the complete piece in 2014 and presenting concerts in the community.
Onward Ranch brought to life with music LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Young fiddlers and accompanists descended on Onward Ranch south of Williams Lake recently for the final two days of a lively fiddle workshop focused on the ‘Fiddle History of Canada’ project that the Cariboo Chilcotin Youth Fiddle Society has been working on since September 2012. The first two days of the workshop took place at Thompson Rivers University and the last two days took place at the ranch owned by fiddle instructor Ingrid Johnson and her husband, Ty Johnson. Johnson was joined at the workshop by fellow fiddle instructors J.J. Guy and Gordon Stobbe. Fiddle History of Canada, arranged by Stobbe, is a unique work that showcases a range of fiddle styles — showing how they originated and explaining the impact they had on old time fiddle music. The recent workshop was the third dedicated to the project, introducing tunes in the second half of ‘Fiddle History’ and Johnson explained that the goal is to hold one final workshop in the spring
“I really like working with young kids — some may say it’s because I never really grew up, I know how important the right teacher can be; I never really had one growing up. I know what it’s like to start out as a kid. It can feel overwhelming.”
- J.J. Guy before presenting the entire concert to the community. “What’s unique about this old-time music project is that it builds on something for two years straight. In a band class you wouldn’t ever have a two-year time frame — there is a far faster turnover of kids. She said the biggest benefit for the younger kids is that they hear the music before they even start to play it. “Once they start playing it they can do it without thinking about it. It’s like osmosis.” One big change at this workshop
was holding the final two days at Onward Ranch. Besides being a true Cariboo heritage location, the ranch holds personal significance for Stobbe and Guy, who participated in a day-long cattle drive on four-wheelers last year following the fiddle workshop. Johnson said the two really got into it – revving the engines and hollering at the cattle. Gordon Stobbe said that participating in the cattle drive was the “best thing.” “We went from being fiddlers to being cowboys for a day. It was my first time on a big ranch and
we actually worked with riders on horses to move the cattle,” he said. “One rider became ill and we had to hold down the fort – we weren’t just ‘dudes’ and we had the cow poop on our clothes to prove it.” “I was so excited to see ‘Big Red,’ the ATV I drove on the ranch last year,” J.J. Guy said, adding that teaching the final two days of the workshop on the ranch this time around was a real treat for him. “I really like working with young kids — some may say it’s because I never really grew up,” he said. “I know how important the right teacher can be; I never really had one growing up. I know what it’s like to start out as a kid. It can feel overwhelming. A real highlight for Johnson at the workshop was seeing the ranch ‘brought to life’ with the kids on hand. “My husband and I have often said, after our year-end barn concerts that it’s so great to have kids running around in packs, yelling and having fun,” she said. “Having the workshop kids here playing instruments around a campfire is such a highlight — it’s a new experience for many of the kids.”
The 25th annual Ducks Unlimited banquet will be held Saturday, Oct. 5 at the Horsefly Community Hall. Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $35 and on sale at Clarke’s General Store. For ticket information contact Alison 250-267-6105.

to help patients keep track of their own health, and receive coordinated care through a team-based approach between the My Health Connect nurse, patient and their local physicians. My Health Connect tracks symptom data and measurements such as blood pressure, weight and sugar levels. Using a computer algorithm, if a value falls outside an individual’s normal range, an alert is sent to a designated nurse, who telephones the patient and provides counseling and advice on whether to see a doctor. Since patients manually enter the data, no specialized equipment is necessary. The program also provides access to dietician and exercise specialist support. Given the program’s co-ordination with the patient’s doctor, it’s anticipated it will prevent disease progression, reduce the need for
tors. It was also a great networking opportunity for community agencies, businesses and organizations.

BUDGET 2014 CONSULTATION
Simon Fraser University professor Scott Lear and his research team have developed a website to help patients living with diabetes, heart, kidney and lung disease manage their health — all from their own homes. And now the university is inviting B.C. patients to participate in an ongoing study tracking its use. “Chronic disease rates are higher in small urban and rural areas, yet access to care is limited to larger cities,” notes Lear. “Patients from remote areas often end up traveling long distances to receive care, sometimes at great time and financial costs. “With monitoring through the Internet, patients can be better supported to manage medications and symptoms and to follow preventive strategies at home.” Lear says his program, My Health Connect, is designed
patient travel for care and keep patients out of hospital. Early studies have indicated that disease risk factors can be reduced through Internet-based programs. Funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, Lear is seeking additional patients to participate in the ongoing study. SFU is Canada’s topranked comprehensive university and one of the top 50 universities in the world under 50 years old. With campuses in Vancouver, Burnaby and Surrey, B.C., SFU engages actively with the community in its research and teaching, delivers almost 150 programs to more than 30,000 students, and has more than 120,000 alumni in 130 countries.

housing costs; they are squeezed for time at home, squeezed for income after costs like housing and for services like child care. “In Canada it’s easier now to retire and it’s harder to raise a young families: we’ve brought down the senior poverty rate 29 per cent from 1976 and today it’s less than five percent.” He explains that it’s time for B.C. and Canada to put “Generation X and Y” on the radar along with our aging population. “There are large organizations making the case that we need to invest in retirees, but no organizations are making the case that we need to invest in young children — we need to balance that.” Young people in B.C. face wages that are up to four dollars an hour less than other provinces, despite having post-secondary education, according to Kershaw. “They face huge housing prices; we need to make it possible for Generation X and Y to provide for the family they have or the one they hope to have.” For more information about the workshop phone Child Care Resource and Referral at 250-392-4118.
