City civil suit set for Supreme Court Monday Monica Lamb-Yorski and Angie Mindus Staff Writers Select city staff and councillors will be in Vancouver next week answering to the abrupt change of direction in the hiring of CAO candidate Don DeGagne last February. The civil trial of DeGagne versus the City of Williams Lake begins Monday, Nov. 25 in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver. According to court documents, DeGagne is seeking
general damages for “wrongful dismissal and breach of the contract, aggravated and punitive damages, special damages, interest, costs and further relief the court deems just.” The exact financial figure DeGagne is seeking from the city has not been disclosed. The court action stems from an incident last February when the city was said to have hired DeGagne for the position of Chief Administrative Officer for the City of Williams Lake. Whether or not DeGagne and
the city formalized their contract will likely be the crux of the case. Back then, the city issued a formal press release Feb. 6 announcing the hiring of DeGagne, noting he would begin work March 1. However, just a few weeks later the city issued a second media release saying they “decided that Don DeGagne will not be appointed as CAO for the City of Williams Lake March 1.” In his legal submission, DeGagne said the city’s actions constituted “a wrongful dismissal of

the plaintiff and an arbitrary, willful and bad faith breach of the contract.” For its part, the city states in court papers that as a result of some events, “the City was concerned that the Plaintiff’s leadership style would not fit with its organization. The City had the discretion to determine whether the Plaintiff was the right fit for the City and made a good faith assessment in that regard.” The trial is expected to take four days next week, starting Monday.

Ferry cancellation devastates tourism operators money, Rice wonders what the financial impact will be to Bella Coola’s $2.4 million annual tourism revenues. On the BC Ferries website it stated the cancellation of the Bella Coola run would save the corporation roughly $1.45 million in net savings to 2016. A community meeting with BC Ferries is slated for (today) Nov. 22 at 5:30 p.m. in Bella Coola to discuss the cancellation and the proposal to replace the summer service by extending the current winter connector, the Nimpkish, year-round, connecting Ocean Falls, Shearwater and Bella Coola and the north-south Prince Rupert to Port Hardy service. Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce president Jason Ryll said it’s unfortunate BC Ferries isn’t going to
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Since BC Ferries announced Monday that it will cancel its Mid Coast sailing to Bella Coola, North Coast MLA Jenn Rice’s phone and e-mail account has been busy. “It’s so devastating for people,” Rice said. “People are calling me practically in tears.” She’s heard from tourism operators in Bella Coola who need the business, and also residents in Bella Bella who rely on (the ferry sailing) to go to Port Hardy to buy groceries. “A woman told me it’s $30 for a package of sausage and $100 for a family pack of hamburger (in Bella Bella).” Rice said many people feel the government isn’t taking the valley’s economy into consideration. If it’s about saving
meet with any other affected communities along the corridor, such as Williams Lake. “It affects the entire circle route,” Ryll said. “There are other ways that BC Ferries could restructure so that it was actually profitable. It’s set up very inconveniently for customers.” He said when people arrive in Bella Coola and want to continue on with the circle route, they are driving through the Chilcotin at night. “It’s kind of hard to see the most beautiful region in the world when you’re travelling in the dark,” he said. BC Ferries stated the annual utilization rate for the Discovery Coast Passage sailing was 29.5 per cent on its 39 round trips over the summer months, however area residents say that number is still significant to them.

BC Ferries’ announcement it will cancel its Mid Coast sailing to Bella Coola has tourism operators concerned about the future of the industry in the region. A few years ago, Bella Coola resident Leonard Ellis opened the Norwegian Heritage House visitors centre in the Bella Coola Valley. “We documented 1,176 visitors there last year that had come in on the ferry and that’s just some of the people that come here by way of the ferry,” Ellis said.
“That’s a pretty significant number for a couple of months over the summer.” Those visitors were all driving big motorhomes, rigs, and cars, renting cabins and going on tours. “It’s very significant for this little valley,” he said. “They go all along Highway 20. There are spinoffs. All these people

The most rapidly increasing type of cancer in the developed world is esophageal cancer where tumours affect the tube that takes food to the stomach. This type of cancer is linked to smoking, acid reflux and obesity. Since smoking rates are dropping every year, the increasing rate of obesity is one of the main risk factors. The laws governing the restriction of certain drugs to prescription-only are designed to protect the public. It wasn’t always so. Back in the early years of the 20th century, people could buy products like Coca Wine and Heroin which contained the drugs cocaine and heroine, which made addicts out of many people. Even morphine products were freely available. Drug laws protect us well today. As pharmacists, we are always confident of the quality of the medications in the pharmacy. They are accurately labeled with the name and amount of every active ingredient. Street drugs are another matter. Contents are not guaranteed and may even contain other drug products. One dose of a bad drug can change a life forever. The best and safest rule is don’t take it. We all miss doses of our medications now and then. If you miss one dose, take the dose the next time it’s due. Don’t double up. With birth control pills, it’s a bit more involved. It depends on the type of pill you are taking and which tablet in the cycle was missed. It may be necessary to use another method of birth control. Our pharmacists are available with the answers about missed doses of medications. Don’t hesitate to check with them whenever you are in doubt.

land in Williams Lake at the end of the day and they book accommodations in Williams Lake. “The problem with using the Nimpkish is that the ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Bella is a pretty significantly lengthy run and if people have to offload at Bella Bella, and depending on the connection time,
there’s basically next to nothing for facilities in Bella Bella.” Ellis doesn’t see the solution as an alternative for the tourist season, he said. “I’m doing everything I can to get people out to the meeting,” he said. “It would be nice to see people from Williams Lake, but I know it’s a long ways.”

Vehicle thefts up in lakecity Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer It’s been a tough three or four months for vehicle theft in and around Williams Lake said RCMP Staff Sgt. Ken Brissard Tuesday during a crime stats update to city council. Brissard said crime stats at the end of the third quarter in Williams Lake show, in comparison to this time in 2012, vehicle theft is up by 10 per cent and the number of calls for service are up by two per cent. Vehicle thefts are up with 97 attempted vehicles thefts so far in 2013, compared to 87 reported stolen by this time in 2012. “We’ve been hit very hard here in the last two or three months with vehicle thefts,” Brissard said. “Out of the 97 there were 58 that were actually stolen, 40 were attempts but they weren’t able to steal them.” Recently the RCMP have made some gains he said. “One of our most prolific car thieves, we’ve had him relocated to Kamloops. I’m sure the City of Kamloops doesn’t appreciate that but we’ve seen a marked decline since the exporting of that individual out of our community.” The RCMP strives to prosecute people who cannot live by the laws, but there are times when the RCMP are not able to prosecute, he added. “When we don’t have the evidence,” he said. “We know who is doing it. We have a very good idea who is doing it so

Ken Brissard updates city council on the third quarter crime stats during its regular meeting Tuesday. in those cases if we’re hitting a brick wall, we will concentrate on disrupting it.” Calls for service can be self-generated by RCMP members or be calls from the public. “Some of that two per cent increase is due to self-generated work,” Brissard said. While vehicles thefts are up, other crime stats show a decline. Theft from vehicles
is down by 23 per cent, totalling 108. Break and enter to residences is down by 38 per cent, numbering 66. Break and enter to businesses is down 85 per cent, numbering 13. Spousal assaults are down 13 per cent, numbering 76. Mischief is down by 14 per cent, totalling 349. Robberies are down by 67 per cent, totalling 12 and false alarms are down by 29 per cent, to-
talling 363. Similar to campaigns against impaired driving, Brissard said he is hopeful that campaigns against domestic violence will have the same impact in the future. “Drunk driving was accepted by the last generation. This generation doesn’t accept that behaviour. I personally believe we’re going to get there with domestic violence,” Brissard said.

Hospice to host 18th annual Memory Tree Celebration Brianna van Wijgaard
de
Special to Tribune/Advisor Every year for the past 17 years, the Williams Lake Hospice Society has hosted the annual Memory Tree Celebration during the holiday season. This event provides an opportunity for members of our community to come together and commemorate the family and friends we have loved and lost in the past year, and beyond. This is because, for those who have lost a loved one, the holidays can be a very difficult time. One may feel sad, disappointed, or even guilty. For some, it may mean a choice to avoid participating in holiday festivities all together, because it is simply too difficult. These choices can sometimes be difficult, then, for friends and family to understand. This is why hospice recognizes the importance of creating a warm and open environment in which the bereaved may remember their loved ones, amongst those who care and understand.
It is important to recognize the many emotions that may come up at this time of year, and understand that they are OK. Once we do, we can take the time to reflect on the memories, and perhaps begin to eventually create new ones, when one is ready. The hospice community — board members, staff, volunteers, and members — want to provide a loving space in which to do this, and be there to support those in need. Not everyone, however, feels comfortable remembering or mourning loved ones among others. Often, it is a very private matter. We would then like to take this opportunity to let the community know that hospice, and its amazing group of hospice volunteers, are here year-round. We provide companionship, support, and respite for family members to help clients at the end of life, and we also provide grief and bereavement support for those in need. If you do not feel comfortable attending the Memory Tree event, we encourage you to be in touch any

Get rid of carbon trust
The first move in the provincial government’s core review, designed to reduce overall government costs, targets the Pacific Carbon Trust. But it doesn’t go nearly far enough. The government is planning to move the trust into the ministry of environment, and reduce its staff and administrative costs. It would be far better to eliminate it. Bill Bennett, the minister responsible for the review, says the move will save $5.6 million annually by 2015-16. The carbon trust’s staff will be reduced to five from 18. Unfortunately, the government is still spinning the half-truth that the Pacific Carbon Trust is actually reducing carbon emissions. All it really does is boost the cost of government projects and initiatives. New schools, for example, cost more because all government agencies are required to buy carbon offsets so that the province can claim that it is totally carbon neutral. The offsets it buys, at $25 per tonne, are purchased from the private sector — usually from large carbon emitters (such as Encana, a natural gas producer) to build projects that reduce the amount of carbon they emit. What is left unsaid is that most of these projects would likely be built anyway. The
only concrete accomplishment of these forced offset purchases, all of which are paid for by taxpayers, is that they may speed up the timetable of some projects. NDP leader Adrian Dix, who fumbled on a number of occasions during the provincial election campaign, was strikingly clear on the Pacific Carbon Trust. He would eliminate it. He made this case, even as he was trying to appeal to more Green-minded voters on southern Vancouver Island, where the Green Party is strongest and where the party actually elected an MLA, Andrew Weaver in Oak Bay-Gordon Head. The current BC Liberal government continues to mouth platitudes about carbon reduction, even as it proposes a number of LNG plants that would certainly boost the amount of carbon emitted in B.C. However, if the plants are built and natural gas begins to replace coal as the source of electricity in countries like China, worldwide carbon emissions will decrease. That type of effort towards reducing carbon is far superior to the smoke and mirrors of the Pacific Carbon Trust. - Langley Times

Let’s give man’s best friends the respect they deserve The dog’s are growling at each other, one of them has taken the other’s chewie. Well I have enough to do without getting involved in doggie politics. Let them work it out. Then it dawned on me, they were restless and just needed a walk. Now dogs understand some English words like “walk” so have we to spell it out around here or they freak out and jump up an down and race to the door if you mention the word. Mindful of a line from Bob Dylan, “If dogs run free, why can’t me?” I took them out. The dogs love to explore and they cover the ground in leaps and bounds, forcing me to pick up my stride. I lead them, they lead me and I feel connected to the brother-

hood (and sisterhood), of dog walkers everywhere. I have this system, that if they come when they are called I reward them with a tidbit. Now they are on to it and have this little game with me. They run around and circle back and
sit before me with happy, expectant looks on their faces. Despite my admonishment that they can’t expect a treat every five minutes, it is of no use. They come running at me with tongues lolling out, a weird grin on their lips and a mischievous look in their eyes. Dogs have been man’s pet for more than 14,000 years and descended from the wolf family that roamed Europe, Asia, and North America. Now according to ‘Google Dog Facts,’ there are approximately 77.5 million owned dogs in the U.S. alone, one in every three U.S families. In Canada, $1.8 billion goes for pet care every year and $300 million is spent on ‘doggie dress up!’
There is for sale at the local pet shop, a Marino doggy coat and hat that has to be dry cleaned. On top of this there are now dog masseurs, dog psychiatrists, pet cementaries and doggie match-up websites for mating purposes. It has got to the point that dogs can now travel onboard planes with their owners. So what does all this tell you? We love our dogs. And we love to spoil and pamper them. It is also told that dogs chew up your underwear because it smells like you. So, here’s another tip. Pick up your underwear or wear it in shreds. Fifty-four per cent of the American public plan to make their next pet a rescued animal,
showing compassion, as a lot of these creatures would be put down. It is said that people who love their pets, find it easier to love others and interestingly enough, two thirds of pet owners are childless. Child substitutes for many no doubt. Yet the need to love and care for little beings, is part of our natures. To tell the truth, I’m a sucker for all tose cute animal videos on YouTube. So let us get on with the care of all God’s creatures and show them the respect they deserve, I say. Robert Nichol is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Advisor.

Two solitudes on B.C. farmland Tom Fletcher Black Press
My late father used to say that if he ever won the lottery, he would “farm until it’s all gone.” It was 1960 when he and my mother pulled up stakes in the Okanagan, where their families had been for generations, and moved north to carve a homestead out of a half section in the Peace River country. So it’s a mainly northern perspective that I bring to the latest debate over B.C.’s agricultural land reserve. A dialogue of the deaf has been going on for decades in B.C., where there are two separate realities in agriculture. The dominant voice is always from the southwest, from the Okanagan to the Fraser Valley to southern Vancouver Island. This is not only B.C.’s most productive land, it’s also the place of greatest population and development pressure, where three million of the province’s four million residents live and more arrive every day. In the rest of the province, except for pockets that are attractive for recreational development, farming is a tough row to hoe. These days, people are more likely to be moving away. In our urbanized society, the loudest voices tend to be the least informed, from backyardchicken hipsters to what I call “drive-by environmentalists,” who like to look out their car

windows at green fields as they motor from their subdivisions to big-box stores. The elderly Sikhs and Mexican guest workers bent over in the fields don’t need their lofty lectures on “food security.” Voices from the rest of the province are seldom heard and quickly shouted down, as was the case at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver. Merritt councillor Mike Goetz pleaded for relief from an Agricultural Land Commission that refuses to release a property that has “grown nothing but rocks and tumbleweeds for the last 100 years.” Similar property next door was released, but not this parcel, blocking a project for five years in a little town that could use the work and additional tax base. Urban sprawl isn’t a big problem in Merritt, which like many small towns is trying to hang onto its population. Spallumcheen councillor Ed
Hanoski described the situation beyond the towns, the real rural B.C. He proposed easing the restrictions on building a second home on farm properties. Currently, farmers can put a mobile home on their property for an elderly or infirm relative, but nothing with a permanent foundation. Once that relative moves or passes away, the home is supposed to be removed. Hanoski said a sewage system for such a residence costs around $12,000. Add the temporary foundation, skirting, well hookup, power, landscaping, driveway,
and a mobile home that will lose its value if it has to be moved, and the property owner takes a loss of $150,000 or more. That’s why the removal rule is routinely ignored in rural B.C., Hanoski said. These second homes are the only rental stock there is, providing modest income for marginal farms, and should be allowed permanent foundations. Motion defeated, after a scolding from a Sunshine Coast delegate about people lusting to build mansions on farmland. I asked Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the latest agricultural land review,
about a rumoured proposal to split the province into two zones with different rules. He declined to comment, but described the case of Fort Steele Farms, the East Kootenay community’s only market garden that almost closed because the next generation was initially refused permission for a second home. The two zones approach deserves serious consideration. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews.com Twitter:@tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Saskatchewan Roughrider fans best in the nation It does not matter what we do these days, there are always critics who will say ‘that is not right’ or you are tramping on and discriminating against people’s rights and beliefs. Recently, Trinity Western University wanted to open a law school in Langley, however, some folks suggest this should not be done because the university says that its students should agree to abstain from sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a women. The protesters say this discriminates against homosexuals. How blind are these protesters with their own bigotry? Does this mean that they do not want peo-

ple on the judge’s benches who may be, a conservative, a liberal, a Christian or someone or who does not believe in their misguided type of hype? Thankfully our country supports a diversity of opinions and
I suggest that these protesters are the same kind of people at the BC Teacher’s Federation who opposed Trinity Western’s right to produce teachers, some dozen years ago. The Supreme Court rejected the BCTF position. Lawyers and judges of many faiths and ideological views have always practised law professionally. *** The biggest party in Canada is this Sunday. The Grey Cup has always been a big sports spectacle in this country and people who normally do not pay much attention to the Canadian Football League, tend to get involved, watch the game or parts of it, and also party.
Many folks have friends over for the game, some good natured banter about who will win, some goodies to eat and perhaps some libation. I wish I could be in Regina to watch the 101st Grey Cup because those fans know how to support a team and it would be so much fun. When the Grey Cup was in Vancouver the Roughrider pavilion drew more folks into their venue than did the BC Lions who were hosting the football championship in their own town. The last two years of Grey Cup has seen the team who’s town the classic was being played, win the big one. The Lions did it two years ago and the Toronto Argonauts won
last year, in Toronto. So I am hoping that history will repeat itself and the Riders will indeed be the Grey Cup Champions once again. My TV room will be decorated with Roughrider flags, pennants, various kinds of shirts and other paraphernalia with green. To say the Roughrider fans across the country are the best in the nation would be an understatement. They bring in more money on the sale of their team products than all of the other teams combined and in Saskatchewan the Roughriders are a religion. Go Roughriders!

Mayor Cook attends BC Business Summit Mayor Kerry Cook represented the City of Williams Lake at the BC Business Summit in Vancouver Nov. 12-13, participating in a panel discussion called Resourcing Prosperity: Sustainable Natural Resources with other elected officials and business leaders. The panelists, Minister of Environment Mary Polak, Mining Association of BC CEO Karina Brino, Pacific Oil and Gas President Ratnesh Bedi, and Cook, discussed the opportunities and challenges
for future natural resource development in the province. The Summit had over 600 provincial, Canadian, and international participants, and was attended by the premier and provincial and federal cabinet ministers. “This was an unprecedented opportunity to build a stronger economy for BC,” says Cook. “The major themes of the summit parallel the Williams Lake example of community collaboration and First Nations relations.
“We need resource development and it’s not a matter of if, but how. We need to innovate and to move away from polarized positions. The importance of social license was stressed throughout the conference.” The Summit included a keynote address from Premier Christy Clark, remarks from federal Minister of Industry and Minister Responsible for British Columbia James Moore, President and CEO of Teck Don Lindsay, and Jason Kenney, federal Minister
of Employment and Social Development. Additional panels discussed international trade, skills training, transportation and infrastructure, and economic competiveness and fiscal discipline. Also while at the summit, the mayor met with cabinet ministers and business leaders, and attended a luncheon with West Fraser Executive Chairman Hank Ketcham. West Fraser is the largest lumber producer in North America.

From Williams Lake to Ottawa and back again A Nation’s journey for rights and title Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer After she was bombarded with friends hugging and squealing to welcome her home, Chiotin Alphonse said the Indigenous Land Title Express journey was amazing. The 15-year-old Tsilhqo’tin youth was one of 24 people who travelled from Williams Lake to Ottawa to hear the historic appeal of the Tsilhqo’tin Nation’s Aboriginal Title case appeal in the Supreme Court of Canada. Their bus arrived back in Williams Lake on Thursday, Nov. 14, and was welcomed home with a celebration in the Cariboo Memorial Complex’s Gibraltar Room. “We stopped in every province and met with the communities,” Chiotin said. “I was so surprised at how the communities came together. Not only were we learning from the elders and the leadership, but we were learning from each other. It was an
eye-opener.” As she listened to the court proceedings, Chiotin said she felt all First Nations were being recognized and things are going to change. “We were speaking out,” she said, smiling. Tsilhqot’in National Government Chair Chief Joe Alphonse was in Ottawa for the appeal and said it was an emotional time for the people who have been involved since day one. “It has been a 25year process,” Alphonse said. “Any time you want to fight Aboriginal title, that’s how long it’s going to take.” The highlight for the Tsilhqot’in was having the chance to ask the highest court of the land if they own title, he explained. “We as Tsilhqot’in believe 100 per cent that we do and that will never change, but we want Canada to recognize that.” That recognition would enable the Tsilhqo’tin people to become part of Can-
ada, he added. “This should have been resolved a long time ago.” Alphonse said there was a team of lawyers representing First Nations all across Canada and the Territories. “To see B.C.’s lawyers and Canada’s lawyers get torn apart in court by the seven Supreme Court judges was long overdue,” Alphonse said. “First Nations across Canada feel there’s been a log jam dealing with First Nations across Canada and we need the Supreme Court of Canada to break that log jam. I think that would be deliberate. It puts Canada and industry in such a place that they have to deal with us in a more respectful manner.” Hugging his 11-year-old daughter Sierra, Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah) Chief Roger William said it was an honour to be on the journey to Ottawa and back.

Tsilhqot’in look for recognition Continued From Page A11 “I had elders tell me before the case started it may have to come to being heard in the Supreme Court of Canada to be recognized.” Some of the elders didn’t make it to the trial, and some of the elders who testified in the trial, are no longer alive today and were not part of the journey. “This journey was for them, for the Chilcotin Warriors of 1864, for all our residential school survivors, for all our women and children who are here with us,” William said. Twenty-four people participated in the journey and of those 11 had testified in c o u r t . T h ro u g h o u t the journey the travellers felt support at every stop. While the Supreme Court decision on the appeal will not be handed down for about six months, William said he is already feeling optimistic. Former Xeni Gwet’in Chief Annie C. Williams participated in the jour-
ney and said she was chief when her people first began fighting for their rights and title in a trapline court case. She had been elected the community’s first female chief in 1988 and the band filed papers in court the following year for the case. In 2007, Williams was one of 27 elders and community members who testified in the case, she said. As she watched the Supreme Court proceedings on a TV screen outside the court room in Ottawa on Nov. 7, Williams said she felt it went well for her people. “I saw B.C. and Canada’s lawyers floundering,” she said. Echoing the present chief, Williams said she feels they’ve won the appeal, but that they never lost. “Our elders live traditionally still. They always have and always will,” she said. “I still speak our language.” The claim area comprises 438,000 hectares of remote territory in the Chilcotin Region.
REALTOR TIPS WORKING WITH ONE REALTOR = COMMITMENT! If you are planning to purchase a home, you will be faced with many decisions. Some buyers like to leave their name with three or four salespeople with the thought of it being an advantage to have a number of people working for them. In real estate, this is generally a very ineffective approach. When too many people are involved the sense of total commitment between Realtor to Buyer, and between Buyer to Realtor can get lost in the shuffle. Choose one Realtor whom you feel comfortable with and who will understand you and have compassion and empathy for your particular situation. By giving your commitment to the Realtor, he/she will work with enthusiasm and diligent efforts to successfully complete your transaction.

Cancer, maintain your focus in the coming week no matter how difficult that proves to be. Personal concerns may have you reeling, but your heightened focus will serve you well. Leo, you may have something on your mind, but now is not the time to share such concerns. Do your best to solve a problem on your own, but rely on the advice of others if need be. Virgo, do your best to avoid being let down by the negative attitudes of others. Friends or coworkers may just be in a bad mood, but that does not mean you need to be. Libra, a little extra concentration will find you tackling your workload with time to spare. Commit your time now and enjoy the time to take things slow later in the week. Scorpio, signficant changes are afoot and you are not quite sure how to prioritize your goals. Enjoy the change, but make use of down time to reestablish your priorities.
Sagittarius, though a pressing issue in your relationship may seem like it needs immediate attention, you have a lot of time to work through any issues. Capricorn, your normally conservative approach won’t work this week. You have to take a couple of chances, or you won’t accomplish much of anything.

Northern Secwepemc ink deal on child and family services A new agreement bringing child and family services more closely under the control of the five Northern Secwepemc communities was announced Tuesday, Nov. 19. The Commitment Protocol Agreement addresses how the signatories will work together to ensure brighter outcomes for Northern Secwepemc children in care and a more hopeful future for children and youth in general. It is the first time the parties have come together in a formal relationship to script how they aim to keep children at the heart of plans and decisions as they apply to each of the communities. The parties also agree to continue exploring governance models and funding options.
The agreement solidifies a relationship between the five Northern Secwepemc communities, the Stsmémelt Project Working Group, the Knucwentwecw Society and the Ministry of Children and Family Development. “We know what’s best for the children in the communities, and we are accountable for our people,” Tsq’escen’ Chief Mike Archie said. This agreement is an important step in taking back our rightful place as the governing bodies for our children.” The five Northern Secwepemc communities of Tsq’escen’ (Canim Lake), Stswecem’c/Xgat’tem (Canoe & Dog Creek), Xat’sull (Soda & Deep Creek), T’exelc (Williams Lake a.k.a.

Cane), and Esk`etemc have agreed to take a joint approach to address child welfare issues and will work together to advance child welfare best practices with the local delegated agency and the provincial government as partners. “This is about a way forward. In the past we have had a foreign government and foreign policy that destroyed our culture and language, our rights as Aboriginal people,” Archie said. Leadership will promote community participation with the Knucwentwecw Society and the local MCFD office to encourage culturally based programs and services. This will be done by developing and supporting a new service
delivery structure and specific outcomes which suit the Northern Secwepemc. The result will be that language, traditions, customs and beliefs of the nation will be part of programs while also celebrating and sharing who the Northern Secwepemc are as a Nation. Chief Bev Sellars of Xat’sull said: “This agreement creates accountability. If there’s a child from the nation, it will be clear how that child can be served and how their needs will be met. It’s about getting better outcomes for kids.” The next step for the signatories is to look at options leading to full jurisdiction and authority and thus achieving the best outcomes for Secwepemc children.

Variety show and auction Saturday Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer
School District 27 teachers and staff are hosting a variety show and silent auction this Saturday evening to raise funds for the Williams Lake Food Bank. The adult event is part of an ongoing Poverty Challenge effort by the secondary teachers and staff to raise food and funds for the food bank, says co-organizer and retired School District 27 support staffer Grant MacLeod. “We are trying to help out the food bank because we think it is a vital resource in our community and they need all the help they can get,” MacLeod says. “We are hoping some day food banks won’t be needed but until that day we like to try and help.” He says the fundraiser is so important for the community that the organizers decided to send an invitation to Premier Christy Clark. “The premier couldn’t attend but we had a nice response from her office within three days of sending the letter,” MacLeod says. The variety show and silent auction will be held at the Ramada/ Overlander Convention Centre Saturday evening, Nov. 23 starting at 7 p.m. with perinches formances by Drum and Bell Tower, Samira Bellydance, Carmen

Samira, performing here at a recent legion ladies’ night will be among Saturday’s entertainers. Mutschele, Troy Forcier, Sage Trampleasure, and music teacher Dena Baumann who are all donating their time and talent for the event. In addition to snacks MacLeod says there will be lots of interesting items in the silent auction including a trip to Las Vegas and a signed Carey Price jersey. He says the face value of the donated items is about $8,500. “Eighty one businesses donated approximately 100 items for the cause including a few out of town business,” MacLeod says. “The local businesses have been very generous to our cause. The fact that the money is all staying in Williams Lake makes a difference too.” Tickets are $15 and available at the School District 27 main office on Second Avenue until 4:30 p.m. today, Friday, Nov. 22 or at the main offices of the
Columneetza and Williams Lake campuses until 4 p.m. MacLeod says secondary teachers and staff are also working on an Empty Bowl Project and Talent Show event to support the food bank. This event was originally scheduled for Dec. 5 but has now been postponed to early in the new year. With help from their art teachers students at the secondary schools are making clay bowls that will be sold for $15 each or $25 for two during the family event where participants will be given a bowl of soup and get to keep the bowl it comes in. He says the teachers and staff at the former Williams Lake Secondary School raised funds for the pottery supplies and to host this Saturday’s fundraiser by selling waffles and ice-cream last May and June during the school lunch hours.
School district fundraising for the food bank also included a poverty challenge issued last year by Columneetza teacher Shannon Rerie. She challenged teachers and staff to try and live on the poverty level food budget of $26 a week or donate the equivalent funds to the food bank. In November 2012, he says the poverty challenge raised $6,240 in one week. The challenge continues this fall. This spring he says he and teacher Joan Erb went to the food bank to see what had become of the poverty challenge donation. They found the shelves bare and went back to the then two high schools to initiate a food drive. The goal was to collect a ton of food collect a ton of food
10-ounce cans of food). With help from the Williams Lake Truck Loggers he says the schools exceeded their goal in collecting 4,200 food items. This fall the secondary schools, elementary schools and board office staff joined in another food drive that was recently completed. Lake City Secondary also issued a challenge to the Williams Lake Downtown Business Improvement Area to collect food for the cause. Collectively, MacLeod says everyone raised 7,437 food items or the equivalent of 2.3 tons of food for the food bank. “Everyone is generous around Christmas time but it is important to remember that the needs go on all year long,” says McLeod.

Chilcotin family battles with National Defense Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Susanne Peter said her family is feeling pushed out of their home after an access road they used to get in and out of their property in the Chilcotin was de-activated by the Department of National Defence (DND) on Nov. 5. “We have lived here since 2001 and drove the road forever,” Peter said of the deactivated road. “There was absolutely no reason to close this road down. There are several private parcels in the Military Block and no one has legal access.” National Defence public relations officer Lt. Jessica MacDonald said the Peter’s property is surrounded by the DND training area. “The Deer Trail Road was designed and built for DND use only. It has been minimally maintained for exclusive use by the DND and was never meant to be traversed by the general public.” This road is no longer required for DND use and will no longer be receiving the minimal maintenance it requires, she explained. “It was deactivated because it would be-
Jim, Colton and Susanne Peter live on property surrounded by the Department of National Defence Training Area in the Chilcotin. The Peter family says its life has been impacted ever since DND deactivated the main road they used to get in and out of their property. come a safety hazard for anyone who continued to use it.” Peter, however, insists the new road is not feasible or safe for her family to use. “The new road 1200 is a safety hazard in the summer and winter,” she said. “There are always mud and rock slides and big boulders coming down onto the road, big holes, tons of trees across and snow drifts that are metres high in the winter.” And the new road extends their travel time. They would have to get up at 4 a.m. to drive their 10-year-old son Colton to school if he were to keep attending Chilcotin Road
Elementary School in Williams Lake. Before they were driving him to the Toosey Reserve to catch the bus. That drive took them about half an hour. MacDonald, however, said the new access road is a well-built logging road with grades of only two-to-three per cent versus 13 to 15 per cent in sections on the deactivated portion of the Deer Trail Road. “It is a far safer road with less environmental mass wasting issues,” she said. The road deactivation was carried out by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, she added. Additionally, the new
federal access road, which is approximately one kilometre of dirt/ gravel, connects to two roads. It connects to the the Strauss Lake Road, which goes south to Highway 20 and is maintained as a result of logging activity but not regularly. It also connects to the Mackin Creek Forest Service Road and the northern Mackin Creek route, and taking the northern route results in a 13 km-closer drive to Williams Lake than going the old route, MacDonald said. Peter said they would have to get a permit to plow the road and would have to change
their insurance over to commercial which would also cost “an arm and a leg.” Insisting the original road was the better option, Peter said they drove the road all the time, did all the maintenance out of their own pockets, and now it has suddenly become a safety hazard and a liability issue. The Peters have lived on the property since 2001 and purchased it in 2004. They have animals, are living on Jim’s pension, and don’t believe anyone would buy the property from them because the access in and out has been limited. “If this access hadn’t existed we would have never bought the place,” Peter said. Colton has special needs after he suffered brain injury when he was kicked by a horse when he was four years old. He requires regular medical appointments in Williams Lake and with the Child Development Centre for occupational therapy sessions. “If we have to home school him he will really miss the interaction with other kids in the school,” Peter said.

‘Core review’ folds carbon trust, capital commission Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government has announced the first money-saving moves in its “core review” of provincial functions, eliminating Crown agencies that buy offsets for government carbon emissions and manage heritage properties in the Victoria area. The functions of the Pacific Carbon Trust and the Provin-
cial Capital Commission will continue, but will be run directly by government ministries, Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced Tuesday. Bennett, minister in charge of the core review, said winding up the Pacific Carbon Trust is expected to save $5.6 million annually by 2015. The CEO and 13 staff are to be offered other positions in government and Bennett said he
does not expect severance to be paid. Winding up the Provincial Capital Commission is expected to save about $1 million, while maintaining the agency’s cultural and student outreach programs. Capital region properties including St. Anne’s Academy, the Crystal Garden and the former CPR steamship terminal will continue to be operated by government, with no im-

mediate plans to sell them. Po s t - s e c o n d a r y schools and health authorities will continue to pay millions to offset their fossil fuel use, and the money will go to industrial, forest and other projects deemed to reduce carbon emissions. Bennett said the government intends to adapt the program as has been done with public school offsets, so hospitals and uni-
versities can invest in their own energy-saving efforts. The Pacific Carbon Trust was criticized in a March 2013 report by former auditor general John Doyle. He said the two largest investments by the trust, a forest preserve in the Kootenays and a flaring reduction program for EnCana natural gas operations at Fort Nelson, would have happened without
subsidies from provincial operations. Other offset projects funded by the trust include hybrid heating systems for the Westin Whistler Resort and Spa and the Coast Hillcrest resort in Revelstoke, as well as fuel substitution for mills and greenhouse operations. The program has been unpopular since it was established in 2008. “Who in their right
mind considers a school or hospital a polluter?” said Jordan Bateman, B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. “Taxpayers are spending millions on buying carbon credits for these facilities rather than providing front-line services.” Environment Minister Mary Polak said international experts have certified the trust’s investments as legitimate offsets.

There Is One Who Knows This past weekend the Soda Creek community, the Sellars family and many other friends gathered to remember Herman James Sellars— rancher, bronc rider, hereditary chief, friend, husband, father, and Papa. It was a tremendous privilege to witness the love, respect and remembrances for this true native son of the Cariboo. As Steve Froese said in his remarks at the funeral, the shared memories of every person who knew Mr. Sellars over the period of his long life would amount to thousands of years of combined knowing. There are literally tens of thousands of eye witness accounts, personal encounters and memories of Herman…puzzle pieces that we would like to piece together now to form a comprehensive lasting picture of a man we loved deeply and will miss dearly. The deepest desire of every human heart is to be totally known, completely accepted, and loved without condition. One of the aches we feel at the funeral of a friend or loved one is our powerlessness to remember and represent them completely. Even with all of the combined memories of every person touched by Herman’s life, he leaves this life only partially known and remembered by us. He carried a whole life of loves, fears, regrets,
PARSONS PEN
BY JEREMY VOGT hopes, dreams and moments alone that we may have only suspected or briefly touched in our time with him. But there is One who knows Herman J. Sellars completely. Listen to King David’s ancient poem (Psalm 139): “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely...For you created my inmost being; you knit me together
in my mother’s womb…all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” Of course, this level of being known can be quite unnerving for many of us. We do not generally want a witness to our many moments of cowardice, greed, selfishness or arrogance. Yet think of the comfort in David’s words— the same One who created him stuck around, never abandoning him. Herman wasn’t perfect, but he was totally known and totally loved by his Creator. The beautiful conclusion of Herman’s life story is wrapped up in the way that God’s patient love finally broke through to his heart. In his mid-70s Herman found peace, and grace, and wholeness through friendship with Jesus, who loved us and gave his life so that we could find true life. The picture of Herman’s life found its completion in relationship with God’s Son, who came into this world not to condemn it, but to save it (John 3:17). Herman leaves this life known to a degree and loved even more by us. And he has now entered the fullness of life with God--totally known, completely accepted, and loved without condition. Welcome home Herman.

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Grand Dames of the Cariboo is an unconventional and lively retrospective on the lives of two well known Cariboo artists, Vivien Cowan and her daughter Sonia Cornwall. Julie Fowler researched and wrote the book for her masters thesis in creative non-fiction taken at the University of B.C. Okanagan. The desire to create the book about these two artists came to her when she was invited by a friend to attend Sonia Cornwall’s memorial service. In taking the biography into the realm of creative non-fiction Fowler placed herself squarely in the centre of the book as if she had actually met them. The banter back and forth between Fowler, and her “grand dames of the Cariboo” make for a more interesting read than the average biography. While she started out to make Sonia the focus of her work, Fowler says she discovered Sonia’s mother Vivien Cowan who ultimately became the main focus in the book. A rancher’s wife with a passion for painting Vivien helped to found the Cariboo Art Society with Group of Seven artists Joe Plaskett and A.Y. Jackson back in 1945 when they would visit the Cow-

letters that he’d received from her over the course of their close friendship from 1946 to just before she passed away in 1990,” Fowler says in her introduction. “To further this I found much about Vivien’s life, along with her famous hunting guide husband, Charles Cowan, documented in the family archives and in the Museum of the Cariboo-Chilcotin in Williams Lake.” The book, she admits, is also an exploration of her own artistic pursuits. Peppered through
the book are many photographs of their artistic creations.

Author introduces The Last Patrol with a slide show In 1970, Keith Billington, along with 10 other men, embarked on the nearly 800 kilometre trip by dog team, from Fort McPherson to Dawson City. This was a commemorative journey of the famous “lost patrol” in 1910,
when a crew of Royal Northwest Mounted Police attempted the same trip, but with a much more tragic outcome. During the gruelling 764-kilometre journey, after running out of supplies and experiencing brutally cold weather, they faced
starvation and eventually froze to death. These four officers of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police would be remembered as the lost Patrol. Sixty years later, Keith Billington, an outpost nurse working in Fort McPherson, organized a re-enact-

Peewee T-wolves to host home tourney Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Peewee Rep Timberwolves will look to keep its winning ways intact this weekend when they host a six-team tournament at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. The event, the Williams Lake Peewee Tier 2 Tournament, begins Friday with the Timberwolves taking on Smithers on rink one at 5 p.m. Following that Williams Lake hits the ice Saturday morning at 10:15 a.m. against Kitimat, before playing an afternoon game against Prince George at 4 p.m. A second team from Prince George and Quesnel round out the six-team draw, which will wrap up Sunday with playoffs.
We have a whole bunch of kids who work hard and I think that’s where our success comes from.”
The red-hot Williams Lake Stampeders head to Lac La Hache for a back-to-back set with the Tomahawks this weekend. Williams Lake is coming off its third consecutive win — a 10-3 route of the Prince Rupert Rampage. Meanwhile the Tomahawks last game saw them drop a 9-5 decision to the Stampeders. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and 1:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Stick League Curling
- Owen Thomas, Williams Lake Peewee Rep Timberwolves head coach Timberwolves head coach Owen Thomas said heading into the weekend he’s expecting good things from his club. “It’s been going well so far [this season],” Thomas said. “We’ve played about 15 games and we’ve got one
loss. “Our goal is to win the tournament.” They’ll be in the dark, however, when they play their opener, as Thomas said the T-wolves have yet to see Kitimat or Smithers in action this season.
The Williams Lake Peewee Rep Timberwolves are set to host a six-team tournament this weekend in Williams Lake at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Thomas added the strength of this year’s squad relies on everyone pitching in. “Our deal here is we play with three lines and six de-
fencemen,” he said. “It’s everyone’s role and we have a whole bunch of kids who work hard and I think that’s where our success has come from.”
The Williams Lake Curling Club has a new league — Stick League Curling. The league plays Thursdays starting at 2 p.m. with teams made up from whomever arrives. There is a $5 drop-in charge for this league. Each team consists of two players and four people play per sheet of ice. There are six ends played and six rocks per team thrown.

The Cariboo Cougars and Williams Lake’s Colton Thomas and Chase Dubois improved to 8-7-1 on the campaign this weekend, sweeping a series on home ice against the North Island Silvertips. The victories leapfrogged the Cougars past the South Island Royals (7-7-2) into fourth place in the B.C. Major Midget League standings. In Saturday’s win over the Silvertips Dubois, who’s now collected eight goals and five assists in 16 games this season, potted a hat trick to lead all scorers and help propel the Cougars to a 6-2 victory. Sunday, the Cougars held the Silvertips to two goals again in a 5-2 win. The Cougars now have six straight road games beginning with a two-game set this weekend in Kelowna against the league-leading Okanagan Rockets (13-2-1).
The team’s next home game is Dec. 14 at 4:15 p.m. at the CN Centre in Prince George against the Greater Vancouver Canadians (7-10-1). Additionally, for the eighth straight year, the Cariboo Cougars have been invited to the Mac’s Midget AAA Tournament in Calgary, Alta. The team said it hopes
to build off last year’s best showing at the tournament to date where they made the quarterfinals but fell to the Czech Republic team Pirati Chumotov. Williams Lake’s Tyler Povelofskie, now a member of the British Columbia Hockey League’s Vernon Vipers, represented the Cougars
at last year’s tournament. And Williams Lake’s Tessa Hare, Victoria Byer and Chantelle Beadman-Rolph will represent their club, the Northland Dodge Northern Female Cougars, at the tournament. The Mac’s Midget Tournament begins Dec. 26 and stretches until Jan. 1.

Williams Lake Blue Fin Leif Brandson, 10, works on his butterful technique in practice Wednesday. Brandson is coming off a strong Prince George swim meet from last weekend where he swam to four medal placings.
Blue Fins get in Christmas spirit Greg Sabatino Staff Writer It’s been a busy swim season filled with training and preparation so far for members of the Williams Lake Blue Fins. Head coach Chad Webb said the team has been working hard and is hopeful they will produce some great results this season. “[I’ve] seen some of the best performances already in workouts by many of them,” he said. The Blue Fins are coming off a three-day
swim meet in Prince George last weekend where those performances and Webb’s observations were realized. The club brought home an impressive array of medals including multiple gold-, silver- and bronzemedals from the meet — 33 in total. “Considering this is the end of the fall break the number of swimmers attending is a great indication of the increase in numbers from a few years ago,” Webb said, although noted attendance at the meet was
slightly down due to Friday’s snow storm. When he arrived as the head coach of the Blue Fins in the summer of 2012 Webb set the initial goal to increase club membership. Now, he said he’s working toward having more provinciallevel swimmers in the club’s top competitive program. “The club is now close to capacity for most groups and continues to get new swimmers all the time,” he said. Outside the team’s training in the pool the
Blue Fins are ramping up for another year of Christmas tree sales. The team will be at Canadian Tire during the weekend of Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., then again on
Thursday and Friday nights from 6 to 8 p.m, and every weekend following until they are sold out of trees. For more on the Williams Lake Blue Fins visit www.wlbluefins.ca.

Great snacks for the Grey Cup Sunday The Grey Cup is this Sunday afternoon and if you are having friends over for the clash between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Saskatchewan Roughriders there are many food tid-bits that you can serve to your pigskin-watching friends. Snacks to enjoy while watching the Sunday Grey Cup can be more than just chips, dip and chicken. No one can help themselves from taking multiple servings of finger food that is delicious and filling. A scrumptious chilli cheese dip is easily made by first browning a pound of ground beef. Remove the excess grease and then place the meat in a crockpot with a pound of cubed cheese and half a tsp of chilli powder. Add one can of diced tomatoes and two tsp of Worcestershire sauce. Mix well, cover and cook on high for one hour or until all of the cheese is melted.
Christian Women host make, bake and create breakfast The Williams Lake Christian Women’s Club is hosting a Make, Bake and Create event for their Tuesday, Nov. 26 monthly breakfast event held in the Cariboo Bethel Church Banque Room on Western Avenue. The breakfast is from 9 to 11 a.m. The special feature is a silent auction with all proceeds going to Stonecroft Ministries Canada. Annette Giesbrecht is the guest speaker. Music will be by Paul Park. To reserve a seat call Carolyn at 250-3923157 or Eve at 250-3927575.

Serve with tortilla chips. Pepperoni rolls are made by brushing melted butter onto refrigerated crescent roll dough. Then place three to four pepperoni slices in each crescent before rolling up. Place pepperoni rolls on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Mozzarella cheese can also be included before rolling. Hot dogs, of course, are favourites during half time and many will be consumed during the Grey Cup. Here is a different way to do the chilli dog.

Use various meats, cheese, pickles and olives along with some mayo, then place them on sub buns and cut into individuals servings. Of course peanuts are always welcomed during half-time shows. I’m serving some food that will have
green food colouring added to match the colour of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. When Saskatchewan beat Hamilton in the Grey Cup it could be another very spectacular game. The Rider VS Hamilton some years ago was one of the best Grey Cup games ever played, and I suspect
this one on Sunday will be no different. Prediction ... Saskatchewan by 13 points and they will celebrate in Regina where the Grey Cup is being played. Go Rider Go... Bye for now and Goood Cooking. Ken Wilson is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Advisor.
