TAKE THE MONEY!
Rather than negotiate to lower the water fees that are breaking Urinetown residents, greedy water corporation owner Caldwell B. Cladwell (Harry Jennings, right) tries to bribe Bobby Strong (Oren Barter, centre) with big bucks to stop the revolt in Urinetown. His fellow co-worker and fee controller, Penelope Pennywise (Sharon Hoffman, centre) encourages Bobby to take the money, held by Mr. McQueen (Mark Berezan, left), as Mrs. Millennium (Kirsty Gartshore) looks on behind them.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A Tatla Lake man has pleaded not guilty to all 24 charges against him, ranging from possession of weapons to careless use of a firearm. Gerald Kirby, 63, entered his plea in Williams Lake Provincial Court Wednesday while in attendance with an agent appearing on behalf of his defence lawyer, David Jenkins. Kirby also elected to be tried by
provincial court judge alone. His case is adjourned until April 9, when a trial date will be set. Last August, Crown Counsel laid charges against Kirby as a result of a Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of BC investigation, CFSEU-BC. “In early June 2013, CFSEUBC received a tip that the man, a long-time resident of Tatla Lake, was trafficking firearms and prohibited devices. CFSEU-BC began an investigation and it was uncovered that the man was alleg-
edly selling assault-style semi-automatic rifles with over-capacity magazines, amongst other guns and weapons,” CFSEU-BC said in a press release at the time. Kirby was arrested at his home, located west of Williams Lake in the 16400 block of Highway 20, on Aug. 23, 2013, and a search warrant resulted in police finding and seizing 183 firearms of various makes, models, and calibres, along with tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition and prohibited devices such as over-
capacity magazines, CFSEU-BC said. The charges include four counts of possession for the purpose of weapons trafficking, four counts of weapons trafficking, three counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm and three counts of possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized and 10 counts of careless use of a firearm. Kirby has no previous criminal record and is currently not in custody.

Taseko files second judicial review LAURA of rejected New Prosperity project is BACK!!! Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Wrongdoing by government ministers, ministries, civil servants and agencies caused New Prosperity Mine’s latest defeat, Taseko Mines said. On Wednesday the company filed a judicial review claiming the federal panel failed in its duty to deliver a fair process which caused the company’s mine project to be rejected by the federal government in February. “The company is seeking to clarify both the failed process and the decision that stemmed from it in a court of law,” said Brian Battison, vice-president of corporate affairs with Taskeo Mines Ltd. Wednesday. “It’s the only reasonable option for Taseko at this time.” Through the judicial review, the company is asking for orders to quash Minister of Environment Leona Aglukkaq’s decision to turn the mine down because it is “likely to cause adverse environmental effects.” The review asks the court to reject the decision by cabinet that “significant environmental adverse affects the project is likely to cause are not justified,” and that the court refer the decision back to cabinet for reconsideration. Taseko is also challenging some of the sections of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act as “unconstitutional” as part of its judicial review. “Our aim remains the same and that’s to seek the necessary authorizations to build the New
Canada; Bob Hamilton of Environment Canada; Matthew King of Fisheries and Oceans Canada; Louis Levesque of Transport Canada; and Serge Dupont of Natural Resources Canada. He also met with Ron Hallman, the President of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA). “Some or all of these individuals were involved in advising the Minister and the Governor in Council in respect of their decisions regarding the New Prosperity Project under CEAA 2012,” Taseko noted, adding the project was discussed but Taseko was not present. Chief Joe Alphonse, Tribal Chair for the TNG, said he’s not surprised by Taseko’s latest move. When they left the meetings in Ottawa in October, the reality is the group was disheartened by how the meetings
Brian Battison Prosperity Mine in the Cariboo,” Battison said. In its notice of application for the judicial review, Taseko has submitted evidence gleaned from Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William’s personal Facebook page. It points out meetings William and other Tsilhqot’in National Government representatives attended in Ottawa with Aglukkaq on Oct. 8, 2013 “before the Minister made a decision,” and on Oct. 9 with Michael Wernick of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development
Joe Alphonse went, he added. “We have limited resources and can’t afford to fly back and forth to Ottawa. We went there to counter what Taseko had been putting out in the media.” Alphonse questions Taseko’s complaint about the meetings. “They’ve had quite a series of lobbying on their behalf, are they taking that into consideration?” he said. “Are they comparing Minister Bill Bennett’s and Premier Christy Clark’s visits to Ottawa and saying we had full access? Get
real.” Taseko and its lobbyists probably had 10 times the amount of time with government that the TNG had, he continued. Wednesday’s judicial review is the second one Taseko has filed. In November, the company filed a judicial review claiming the environmental assessment panel’s report should also be dismissed. “After all of this, Taseko Mines is still insisting on pursuing a project that clearly cannot and will not be built, and is engaging in various legal actions that put their shareholders, the Tsilhqot’in and taxpayers to further wasteful expense,” said William. “All this despite the fact that the project lies inside one of the only areas in Canada subject to court-proven Aboriginal rights - the law of the land as of September 2012.”

Project Comeback reveals the good and bad Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer On the heels of two separate ratings where Williams Lake emerged 186 out of 201 in a best communities to live list and number three of places to move away from, a recent survey of younger residents paints a balanced picture of positives and negatives. Last December the city surveyed 33 people under age 35 who have lived in Williams Lake for less than five years. The survey revealed people are looking for places like Williams Lake to move to. “People like Williams Lake,” said Anne Burrill, the city’s manager of social development. “It’s a great community for young people who want to live in a smaller community with access to great recreation and the outdoors.” Aside from the survey, the city also hosted a workshop on Feb. 24
at city hall for people under 35 that attracted 33 participants. “It’s interesting because we are having lots of conversations now generally in the community about what does the future look like and some of those are really negative, but I think this particular demographic has a fair bit of energy around the positives that are going on in our community and the potential that we have.” Burrill said she hopes the group can add positive dialogue to what the future of the community will look like. The survey also presented some challenges. One person said although housing is affordable, wages aren’t as high in their field. Another person said that racism is a major game changer and could cause people to move away. Also, newcomers are not always made aware of the opportunities that exist, Burrill explained.
“We have some work to do around how we get information to people. That particular demographic is really connected to being online so we need to do some work around our online presence.” Aside from the city, other organizations need to be encouraged to beef up their connections as well. Feedback showed it would be nice to have a central place people could go for information, she added. Another thing that stood out is the need for people to get connected when they move to Williams Lake. There needs to be a more intentional way of connecting new people to existing activities or networks so they can build a sense of community really quickly. “When you move to a new community if you find it hard to meet new people or activities you are interested in that’s a challenge. If it doesn’t happen in

ICE RECEDES AT SCOUT ISLAND

The ice is slowly receding from Scout Island allowing people to get out for some fresh air. And Williams Lake Field Naturalist Fred McMechan is already hard at work on the property. Here he scoops up droppings left by dog owners and geese on the trails. People are reminded that if they take their dogs to Scout Island they must be on a leash and owners must pick up the dog droppings. Bags are available on site.
AN APPLE A DAY... Some people use garlic (fresh or in capsules) as a supplement. Although there is little evidence it lowers blood pressure, it does have short-term effects on cholesterol and blood clotting. It is recommended that those people on blood-thinning medication not use high doses because of the increased risk of bleeding. Also high doses of garlic should be stopped 1-2 weeks before major surgery. There are many suggestions for curing hiccups. Some work and some don’t. One new way, which may seem a little extreme, evidently works really well, especially for people who hiccups for long periods of time. The method is called digital rectal stimulation and means just what it says. Using a surgical glove or even kitchen plastic wrap on a finger, massage the inside of the rectum. Hiccups should stop within minutes. Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is becoming a more common problem. Listening to very loud music in earphones even for a short time can damage those tiny sensory hair cells in the inner ear and cause hearing impairment. Keep the sound down in earphones to avoid damage.

RCMP: Victim Services
Speakers share how family violence leads to troubled life Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Last week people living in communities in and around Williams Lake shared ideas on eradicating violence against women. The discussions were led by two Canadian activists who were invited by the Williams Lake RCMP Victim Services. Trish Baptie of Formerly Exploited Voices Now Educating (EVE) and Cherry Smiley, co-founder of Indigenous Women Against the Sex Industry gave three presentations to stakeholders at city hall and in the First Nations communities of Anaham, Alkali Lake and Sugar Cane. Mick Howell, program manager for RCMP Victim Services in Williams Lake, initiated the invitation, something he said he’d been working on for about four months. “Often the outlying areas don’t have the opportunity to have world-class speakers,” Howell said. “We thought it would be a great idea for them to go out there.” Baptie, a former prostitute, told the Weekend Advisor she started working in the sex trade when she was 13 years old. “I grew up in a home rife with domestic vio-
lence,” Baptie shared. “I worked in Vancouver, and for 10 years I worked on the Downtown Eastside. I counted some of Robert Pickton’s victims amongst my friends.” Today Baptie works with EVE. During her two days in the Cariboo Chilcotin she and Smiley led interactive brainstorming conversations about different forms of violence against women, particularly domestic violence, sexual assaults and prostitution. Many prostituted women start out as prostituted children and many victims of domestic violence don’t know there can be another way to live, Baptie said, drawing on her own experiences. Baptie said growing up with domestic violence resulted in her becoming involved with violent relationships. It wasn’t until her life changed that she understood that violence wasn’t normal. She credited the change in her life to a relationship she formed with an outreach worker who helped her escape. In their conversations with the communities, brainstorming sessions explored what domestic violence looks like and what a healthy relationship
looks like. Participants were encouraged to keep an eye out in their own communities to help people who are victims. “People made it clear they knew someone or they themselves had formerly been involved in relationships that had a component of domestic violence,” said Baptie, who was impressed everyone brought something amazing to the table for ending violence against women and imagining a world free from it. Locals also talked about doing an awareness campaign that would be directed at men participating in reading a pledge that they will not sexually and physically assault women or allow other men to do that, Smiley said. “I heard that a couple of times and I would love to see some sort of awareness campaign come out of that.” Smiley works as a sexual assault crisis worker and hears stories of girls 12, 13 and 14. In the case of First Nations victims, some are even as young as 10 or 11. “It’s a huge problem and it is one that people sometimes think will not affect them or that it doesn’t happens in their communities.”

The Nordic Model
Baptie and Smiley were in Ottawa Monday lobbying the federal government to adopt the Nordic Model in Canada as a way to tackle the sex trade industry. The model decriminalizes the women involved in the sex trade so they don’t face criminal sanctions for the positions they find themselves in. “We know mostly women are involved with prostitution because of poverty, mental health, addictions and colonization,” Baptie said. The focus is then turned to the demand for paid sexual access to children’s and women’s bodies by the men who are buying it to criminalize them, she added.
“They are abusing their money and power to demand sexual access so they should be criminalized.” Another component in the model is to provide robust exiting services for women who are leaving prostitution. Whether it’s detox, rehab, affordable housing or a guaranteed livable income, in the Nordic model women would provided with social safety nets needed to change their lives. “We are in a moment right now in Canada where there is going to be a change in the laws around prostitution,” Smiley said. The Nordic model offers the best hope and the best way to support women, and the laws are going to affect everyone, she added.

Composting
Part of the Cariboo Regional District’s Solid Waste Info Series: Becoming Waste Wise Do you think of gardening when you hear a reference to composting? Perhaps it is the connection between composting and gardening that keeps many of us from composting at home. We assume that if we don’t have a garden, we don’t have a place for the “heaps” of food waste, or a location to use the finished compost. It’s time for those of us who don’t have a garden to let go of this assumption and embrace the fact that you don’t have to garden to compost. Backyard composters can be placed anywhere outside, you could even place one in a sunny spot in your front yard and advertise that you are actively composting! Finished compost takes up a fraction of the space of food waste, so there won’t be much material to handle if you spread it out on your lawn or give it away once a year. If you don’t have access to a yard, there are indoor composters available such as vermicomposters that uses red wriggler worms to break down fruit and veggie waste. Why should you change your habits and re-direct your veggie and fruit waste out of the garbage? Because leaving it in the garbage creates methane gas, increases landfill leachate production, takes up space in the landfill, costs money to transport and wastes the nutrient content of the food. In the oxygen deprived environment of the landfill, organics don’t get a chance to break down into compost or soil; rather they slowly decompose and release methane gas in the process, which is a greenhouse gas 21 times stronger than carbon dioxide when it comes to causing climate change. All landfills create leachate, but leachate production can be limited by the amount of moisture that is present in the waste. Organics contain over 60 percent moisture (by weight) which turns into leachate as the organics decompose. The leachate travels through the other waste in the landfill and collects contaminants. If the landfill doesn’t have a leachate collection system these contaminants could move into the land, if the landfill does have a leachate collection system the contaminants must be managed or removed which is a costly process. The lifespan of a landfill is measured in volume by how many years of waste will fit into the existing landfill footprint. If we are able to reduce the amount of waste going into each of our landfills, it gives us more years of use; an excellent reason to divert as much as we can from our landfills. Organic waste is heavy because of the moisture content, and waste disposed of at transfer stations is hauled to a regional landfill, which is often paid for by the tonne. This is another good incentive to divert the heavy organics out of our garbage and into our yards! The nutrients from food waste cannot be harnessed if they are mixed up in landfill leachate, but they can in your compost. Even if you only turn your finished compost out onto your lawn or place it around the base of the trees or shrubs in your yard, the nutrients will be put to good use. The CRD and its member municipalities want to help you change your food waste disposal habits and will be subsidizing backyard composters and counter top containers again in 2014. Email talktrash@cariboord.b.c.ca to get the details or call the CRD at 250-392-3351 or toll free 1-800-665-1636. Waste wise education is delivered to students in the CRD, but the CRD would like to make waste education available to everyone, as we all have the ability to change our waste handling habits for the better.

Williams Lake
New development for city’s eastside Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Clearing will begin next week for a new subdivision on the south end of Centennial Drive in Williams Lake. Following months of working with the city, developer Steve Mahon of Macon Construction Ltd. said it’s a relief. Not only to himself as the developer, who thought he’d receive the city’s stamp of approval earlier, but to the neighbours who were glad to learn the subdivision will include 14 single family homes. “We’ve had good response to the single homes as opposed to a 60-unit townhouse development,” Mahon explained, adding Macon Construction Ltd. purchased the land in November from another developer who developed Sunridge Gardens directly below. So far five people
have reserved lots because it’s affordable and on a dead-end street, he continued. In the past few years Mahon has built homes in the Westridge area in Williams Lake and at 150 Mile House, but said he’s excited to be building in Williams Lake in another location. “There hasn’t been too much development in Williams Lake on this side of the city in a while. Some people are even selling from the other end of Centennial to move down here because they want the sunshine.” The development will also be linked to existing biking and hiking trails on Fox Mountain, he added. Following a public hearing Tuesday, city council adopted a bylaw amendment to its official community plan for the development, permitting front line setback reductions. The lots on the west

just makes sense. “Besides, we saw last summer when we had the big rain storms that the underground system didn’t work in some parts of the city,” Hutton said.

A simple solution Transportation Minister Todd Stone constantly describes his service cuts to BC Ferries, and specifically his elimination of the Discovery Coast direct sailing between Port Hardy and Bella Coola, as “tough decisions.” He claims these cuts are the only possible solution to the economic problems BC Ferries is facing. Minister Stone evidently didn’t look very hard. BC Ferries’ stated goal is to save $18.9 million by 2016. To achieve this, they are making some big cuts to a number of routes and services, disrupting communities all along the coast and into the Interior, and bringing financial hardship to hundreds of small businesses. Minister Stone asserts these were all “tough decisions” because no easier solution could be found. But there is a simple solution Minister Stone has not raised. First, according to the Ferry Advisory Committee Chairs (FACC), the Tsawwassen — Duke Point (Nanaimo) route has been losing $24-30 million a year and operates at only 48 per cent capacity. If it made three weekday sailings instead of four for 10 months of the year, the savings would be $9.6 million over two years. That’s one simple cut to reach half the goal. Secondly, during the past 25 years, the BC Ferries system has increased by only two new routes but has added almost 500 managers. It’s a top-heavy institution that consumes $64 million a year
in management salaries. A mere 7.3 per cent reduction in management costs will generate $4.7 million per year, or $9.4 million over two years. This second cut covers the remainder of the $18.9 million in savings that BC Ferries says it requires by 2016. Somehow, these two simple solutions have eluded Minister Stone. He’s been busy making tough decisions like gutting Route 40 to save $725,000, then having to add back refurbishment costs and extra sailings on the inadequate Nimpkish, extra stops on the Inside Passage route, not to mention additional labour and fuel costs, just so his new plan can drive away tourism traffic. The government’s scheme to create savings by adding costs and wiping out small business makes no financial sense. Yet there is no indication Minister Stone has even considered these simple alternatives. Why? “This just highlights the fact that BC Ferries should be returned to the Ministry of Transportation and run to benefit the entire provincial economy, just like other transportation systems” said Petrus Rykes, Chair. “Then the Minister would have all the information in front of him to make logical decisions. Right now he’s too remote from the details to understand why his cuts won’t work.” - Save The Discovery Coast Ferry

April Fool’s Day a cool introduction to the Cariboo I woke up on April 1 trying to think of an April Fool’s joke I could play on wife Carmen but nature beat me to it. The thermometer stated 17 below. Is this not damn cold up in this neck of the woods for this time of year? It was our first winter in the Cariboo and they told us it was the coldest April in 50 years. Cold I can handle, it’s dry, not like on the Sunshine Coast where we came from. (Now there’s a misnomer if there ever was one.) It was rain, rain, rain and more rain. One of the reasons why we left.

sponsibility to warm things up? As if taking umbrage things improved a little when the sun got farther up in the sky. Besides the dogs didn’t
seem to mind the freezing weather. It certainly didn’t have any effect on their barking, sending little puffs of breath into the air. Carmen straining to see the first inklings of flower stubs to appear in the garden was dismayed. You can’t see anything under two feet of snow. Paul St. Pierre once said that: “the cure for optimism is still to be found.” After all, the first day of spring is the 20 of March. It says so on the calendar. Yet there are red wing blackbirds showing up at the feeder and the faint honking of geese high overhead, ducks in the river scooting about.
A sure sign of spring. It’s just that spring has yet to take notice. “Oh well things will warm up in a day or two,” I opined. (Mind you, I think I said that four or five weeks back and again three weeks ago, maybe even yesterday.) I am sure the more ardent birders will be out full force nevertheless. Decked out in their funny hats, notepad in hand, binoculars draped over the chests. Those with a particular fondness for warblers are known as warbler wackos. I am eager to join them. Birding by the way, is the second most popular sport after golf.
But in truth, this is a sport that curtails laziness and slothfulness and gets one out into the wilds with a zest for their quarry that would rival a kid with a mouthful of Big Whopper hamburger. This is the time of year when cabin fever gains a foothold on our psyches. Just when you want to run around the yard and yell “spring is here!”, it isn’t. However, on the good side, it has prolonged the ice-fishing season, that is if you want to freeze your butt off trying to entice a fat, sluggish, oxygen-deprived fish to take the bait.

New Democrat’s survival on the line The B.C. NDP leadership contest is officially underway, with the entry of Vancouver Island veteran John Horgan in a reluctant reprise of his 2011 run against Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth. Unfortunately for them, weekend campaign events were overshadowed by revelations of flagrant abuse of taxpayers’ money by the executive and board of the Portland Hotel Society. A pair of audits finally released last week on this network of Downtown Eastside social agencies revealed systematic looting of the $28 million a year in taxpayers’ money that has kept this supposed charity running. Alas for the NDP, local MLA Jenny Kwan not only failed to keep an eye on it, her recently separated husband was one of the executives who took part for years, and she benefited to the tune of $35,000 in luxury travel. That’s what we know about, since much of the evidence wasn’t produced for the auditors. When this Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous scheme finally came to light, Kwan hastily paid back the $35,000 and announced she’s taking an unpaid leave of absence. Her tearful claim that she believed nothing was wrong is simply not credible. She not only must have known of her husband Dan Small’s jet-set ways, she participated in at least two trips, one to Vienna and Bristol, England to do “research” and attend a poverty conference from highend hotels.
B.C. Views
with Tom Fletcher
If it wants to retain any shred of credibility as it spouts misleading poverty statistics and simplistic solutions, the party must get rid of Kwan, who has two years left to max out her MLA pension. MLA pensions were a factor in the 2010 ouster of Carol James, who infuriated the old guard by trying to defuse a public backlash against a generous pay and benefits package worked out in private between the NDP and the B.C. Liberals. Kwan would later take a leading role in the caucus revolt that forced James out as leader. Long-time political watchers will see the PHS abuse as a bigger, uglier version of the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holdings Society scandal. There the siphoning off of bingo funds from charities cost Mike Harcourt his job as premier. In that case, NDP MLAs sat on the board, took their monthly cut and kept quiet. There’s more. Horgan became enraged last year at the reporter who took a tip from the B.C. Liberals to reveal the NDP was skimming constituency office budgets to pay for its own
“ethnic outreach” operation in Vancouver. Horgan had rubber-stamped the plan with a since-dismissed legislature accountant, and thought he had kept it secret after the Auditor-General blew the whistle. His willingness to assess its ethics remains in question to this day. Then there is Craig Keating, who took over as party president from Moe Sihota last year. Did he inherit the $72,000 salary negotiated by Sihota with the B.C. Federation of Labour
and two of its largest unions? If so, do Horgan and Farnworth think this is appropriate? Will the party’s joined-at-thehip relationship with government unions even be discussed in the carefully staged leadership contest that’s about to begin? Then there’s the policy shipwreck left behind by Adrian Dix. His plan to use environmental assessment as a weapon to torpedo industrial projects remains popular with the party’s urban base. Farnworth and Horgan have
paid lip service to the notion that projects like the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion should be properly assessed. Meanwhile the federal NDP fights to keep stacking public hearings with pre-selected protesters. The party may wish to consider what would give its next B.C. leader any hope of governing.

Site C mega dam project is corporate welfare Editor: Who will benefit from building the third dam on the Peace River called Site C? B.C. Hydro will receive a gift of a public resource in the form of agricultural land and a massive amount of fresh water. The critics say that the agricultural land is minimal so it’s okay to flood it. The critics say the hydro power is needed so let’s sacrifice more land from the ALR and limit the flow of fresh water.
The Williams Lake co-generation facility is not producing power currently as BC Hydro doesn’t need power from that facility, but it seems that the province needs a dam in the north. What is obvious is that hydro power will be needed to develop the LNG vision of the provincial government. What is less evident is that LNG development will require an unimaginable amount of water. It will be handy to have a huge reservoir of water to
pump underground and be lost forever from the hydrology cycle. Alberta knows about this process as it watches its scant supplies dwindle. Make no mistake; the Site C project is more about using a public water resource than it is about hydro electric power. Because the provincial government has held out the old myth of wealth and jobs, the population in the south of B.C. has acquiesced; the people in the north know better.
Never mind that the economics of exporting LNG are not promising. What is the sum total of the loss of the Peace River Valley to all of British Columbians? Agricultural land with microclimates rivalling the Fraser Valley will disappear; a massive fresh water resource of the remaining Peace River will become a commodity to be exploited by corporations; and sustainable culture for, not only the ranchers and farmers of the Peace, but for all British Co-
lumbians. What do we gain? The public will eventually be paying higher hydro rates to finance the dam along with government subsidies to help corporate entities build the dam. The plan is to export LNG to some customers yet to be named, a further loss of a public resource. The issue of Site C is not electric power but water. Peter Smith Williams Lake

Rivers of social justice reflected in Urinetown: The Musical Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Now in its second week of a three-week run Urinetown: The Musical is making a real splash with lakecity theatre-goers. Last Saturday night’s performance was sold out and the river of enthusiasm for the production continues to bubble up this week. On the surface the musical is hilarious, filled with great songs, silly little dances, and larger than life characters. But down deep there is more, much more. There is an undercurrent of pain, a river of emotion streaming through Urinetown as it strives to recover from the Stinky Days when the water ran out. This musical spoof laps at the shores of our capacity for greed, catches us hook-line- and-sinker in the quagmire of human nastiness, and flushes us out again. After watching this production the first time, I felt as though I had been cast up

The poor people of Urinetown are forced to use public toilets at prices they can’t afford and eventually revolt against the corrupt corporation controlling the water works. Sandi Alaric as Josephine Strong, Kirsty Gartshore as Shufflin’ Sheila, Mary-Jo Hilyer as Soupy Sue, and Terra McGuire as Little Sally try to pull together the fee to use the public toilets. Using the woods would get them arrested and banished to Urinetown. and left high, and not so dry, on the muddy shores of reality. The reflections of civil struggle between haves and have-nots felt a little too close to home with the storm now brewing between Russia and Ukraine that threatens to suck us into yet another vortex of war. And yet there were signs of hope, or was
that hopelessness. In the end it was hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys — but you knew things could be much better if the smart people controlling the water taps worked with a tsunami of heart instead of a desert of greed. But alas, if you aren’t into politics, just take this satirical little musical as it

Writers Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis must have had a great deal of fun bringing these lessons to the public in this satirical way, poking fun at, and making powerful statements about, capitalism, socialism, corporate mismanagement, bureaucracy and social irresponsibility. It challenges us to think, think, think, on ways to prevent the cultural loss of our water rights. Don’t over-use water; don’t let big corporations control this precious resource; don’t let bottled water be the only source of water left on the planet to drink. It is a timely production brilliantly brought to the stage just in time for World Water Day last week by director Jay Goddard, choreographer

which begin at noon, say organizers. Started in 1978, the Kub Kar program allows Cub Scouts (ages 8-10) to explore their creativity by designing and building their own Kars and, with the assistance of mentors, learn how to maximize Kar speed while meeting the design requirements. Through Kub Kar rallies, youth have the opportunity meet new friends, gain a sense of
achievement and have fun as they race their Kars against youth from the Cub Scout Packs in the surrounding area. Building on the success of the Kub Kar program, Beaver Buggies were later introduced to provide Beaver Scouts (ages 5-7) with the opportunity to develop the same skills. Scouts Canada, the country’s leading youth organization, has more than 100,000
members nationwide representing every faith and culture. Scouts Canada groups offer programming in more than 19 languages reflecting Canada’s multicultural landscape and communities. Kids in Scouts have fun adventures discovering new things and experiences they wouldn’t discover elsewhere. Along the way, they develop into capable, confident and well-
rounded individuals, better prepared for success in the world. For tens of thousands of children and youth across Canada, Scouts is the start of something great.

The Seventh Sense Back in the 90’s, my friend had a picture on his wall, and at first glance it looked like a bunch of swiggly lines with a meaningless design. My friend told me that it was a 3-D picture. He told me to stare at it for a while, then the picture will come alive in 3-D form. So I stared, and stared, and stared, and nothing. So, I tried again, and again, then I said, “I think I see something. He said, “Nope, you don’t!” So, I quit that day, and came back another day and tried again. And, “Oh my Goodness!” I saw it, as if scales fell off my eyes. It was a picture of a beautiful woman (Our Lady of Guadalupe) and it was as if I could reach my hand in the picture and take her out. It was so real. The Lady in the picture was always there. I was not able to see it. I was stuck on the 1-D, or 2-D at best. I could only enjoy the picture at that level, missing out on the 3-D. Faith is much like this. We can stare at life, and at times it seems meaningless or something is missing. Then, when we receive “the vision”, it’s as if scales fall off our eyes and we see life with an added dimension,
have gone beyond the scope of the naked eye. You see no one in sight. Although you cannot prove directly that there was a person who walked by, you can prove it indirectly through the traces and footprints left behind. So, likewise, we cannot prove God directly, but only indirectly, through his “footprints”. Everything created is his “footprint” and they are everywhere, but only to the eyes that are able to see the third dimension. PARSONS PEN Finally, faith is not being in a dark room (blind-faith) as if BY Father Derrick blind because of the absence of which gives life a whole new light. Rather the opposite, it is outlook, fuller meaning, and like being in front of the blazing with another depth to explore. Sun - so bright - that it blinds As long as a person desires faith, us. Our senses, especially sight, and persists in this desire, this fail us. The Sun is too much for person already has the gift of us. We are blinded due to the faith, although he or she may excess of light, not the absence not necessarily “see” it. It takes of light. We need to have a time to adapt to the new vision seventh sense - faith - to guide us. It is only when we recognize or way of seeing. Here is another analogy to help that we are blind, that we can us see what faith is. Imagine begin to see.“And I will lead the early one morning, you wake blind in a way that they know up on your waterfront property. not, in paths that they have not And you see a set of footprints known I will guide them. I will that have walked along the long turn the darkness before them sandy beach and the footprints into light”. (Isaiah 42:16)

“Marine Detective” visits Fred McMechan Special to Tribune/Advisor Popular “Marine Detective” Jackie Hildering will be the featured speaker at the Scout Island Nature Centre’s annual fundraising banquet coming up next week. The banquet takes place Friday, April 11, at St. Andrew’s United Church. Hildering is a highly acclaimed marine educator, cold water diver, underwater photographer and whale researcher living on Northern Vancouver Island. As the “Marine Detective” she will present a program called Ocean Wonders which includes some of the highlights of what she has learned about the astounding and diverse life of the cold, dark waters of the Northeast Pacific Ocean.

Motivated to inspire conservation, Hildering chose to move to Northern Vancouver Island for its marine biodiversity, returning to British Columbia in 1999 after a 14-year career teaching biol-
ogy and administering international schools in the Netherlands. Recognition includes being the 2010 winner of the Vancouver Aquarium’s Murray A. Award for Excellence in Aquatic Conservation. Recent on-camera experience includes being featured on Animal Planet’s Wild Obsession series in Whales: Giants of the Deep. Hildering will arrive in Williams Lake midweek before the banquet to give presenta-
tions to local students. For the school classes she will present the program she developed for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans called Stream to Sea. This presentation is titled From Killer Whales to Salmon Scales. It will be a journey down the food chain to examine the link between the health of B.C.’s killer whales and threats to wild salmon. The profit from the field naturalist’s annual banquet will be used to provide educational programs in nature for children and families at the Scout Island Nature Centre. Tickets for the nature centre fundraising banquet can be purchased at the Open Book or the Scout Island Nature House and from members of the Williams Lake Field Naturalists.

Getting up and active with PAL Spring is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf and start getting active. Introducing regular physical activity into your life is an important first step towards better health, a happier mindset, and more. The whole family will benefit from increased activity and getting on the road to a healthier lifestyle. There are so many known benefits to physical activity and an active lifestyle. Among them are a reduced risk of heart disease, premature death and stroke. Being active has also been proven to help improve self-esteem and confidence, help you sleep better, increase your energy and reduce depression, among many other things. Furthermore, it helps maintain functional independence, mobility, and bone health. For many of us, it can be quite daunting to take that first step towards an active lifestyle. And it can be more challenging to start something new without any help. The good news is residents of BC have access to a free physical activity counselling service called the Physical Activity Line (PAL). Through a phone call or online, qualified exercise professionals are available to provide exercise and physical activity advice and help you develop a customized physical activity plan for every member of the family, from children to older adults. When it comes to physical activity, more is better. To achieve the health benefits, it is important to try and progress towards the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines, which recommend at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day for children and youth and 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity each week for adults. Adults and older adults should also add muscle- and bone-
strengthening activities that work the major muscle groups at least twice a week to help with balance and prevent falls for those with mobility impairments. Physical activity doesn’t have to mean playing a sport or going to the gym. Playing a family game of tag, going for a swim or taking a walk outside with the family pet or to the store to get groceries count towards the physical activity recommendations. Try out something new; you may find your new favourite activity! In any case, you’re bound to have some fun and feel like a happier and healthier you. The Physical Activity Line is available Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m in the Lower Mainland, toll-free at 1-877-725-1149. For more information, visit www.physicalactivityline.com or email info@physicalactivity.com.
Other physical activity resources include ParticipACTION (www.participACTION.com) and Healthy Families BC (www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca).

Michelle Wong, from Horsefly Realty for a bank in Hong Kong as manager in corporate communications. Michelle moved to Vancouver in the 90’s she worked in real estate as a conveyancer. She met her husband Victor in Vancouver, he worked as a property manager accountant. They have been married for 13 years, and have a wonderful young daughter named Caitlin. When Caitlin came along, Michelle decided to take a break from work. After a 7 year break Michelle decided it was time to return to work and try her hand at real estate and she got her license. Michelle and Victor wanted to give their daughter a chance at a lifestyle that was different than what they both experienced. They looked in 3 different areas in B.C., Vernon, Quesnel and then of course Horsefly. They wanted to live in a place where they knew where their food was coming from, a complete natural environment and a place where your dollar goes farther. They love, that this, is a community where you know your neighbors and there are all the special touches of being involved in a small community.
They found their dream home down Black Creek Road, it is off the grid, solar powered and all. You can’t get much more of a natural lifestyle than that! They have settled in nicely in our little community. They have been here for over 2 years now, and are active in many things, both are on the school PAC. Victor teaches kick boxing at the school and is a chairperson for the Fire Department. Caitlin is involved in school activities and is also a member of the 4-H. One thing that touched my heart while talking to Michelle is when she told me the feeling she gets every time she looks up into the big blue sky here, and when she looks up at the stars at night that go on and on forever, you just can’t get that anywhere else. How Beautiful it is! Yes I know it! I am glad they choose this lifestyle change, and hope they enjoy it for years to come. Stop in and see Michelle at Horsefly Realty she’s a great lady! I hope the sun hurries up and melts the snow! Until Next Month Cheers Dianna.

A rack card has been produced that encourages parents of 3 year olds to seek out a simple questionnaire they can complete on their own or with assistance. Depending on where they go for the screening tool, they will receive either the Ages & Stages questionnaire or the Nipissing questionnaire.

The Williams Lake Timberwolves midget girls hockey team went a perfect five wins and no losses last weekend at the Richmond Ice Classic Tournament, bringining home the gold medal. Here, the team of Brianna Chaffee (back from left), Cassie Able, Kennedy Wiebe, Laurel White, Stefanie Martin, Calissa Broomfield, Sarah Austin, Teneal Schick, Amanda Yonkman, Cassie Hogman (middle from left), Madison Hordiuk, Alena Mayer, Alexa Nelson, Alexis Hemmond, Emily Hendricks, Bailey Schick (front from left) and Raylea Garland celebrate the win.
Timberwolves nab Richmond Ice Classic title The Williams Lake Timberwolves midget girls hockey team won all five games they played at last weekend’s Richmond Ice Classic Tournament. The Wolves opened the tournament, which ran March 21-23, against a physical Sooke Thunderbirds team and found themselves down 2-0 early, but a late firstperiod goal from Calissa Broomfield gave the Wolves some life. Madison Hordiuk scored early in the second period to tie the game, and Brianna Chaffee added two more for a 4-2 final. Saturday morning the Wolves took on the host Richmond Ravens. Laurel White scored the game’s only goal on a slapshot from the point and secured the shutout and the 1-0 win for the
It was a fitting end for Grade 12 graduating players Emily Hendricks, assistant captain Alexa Nelson, and Wolves captain Alena Mayer, as this was their final game as part of Williams Lake Minor Hockey.” - Cordell Wiebe Wolves. Next up was the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies and the Wolves rolled to a 4-0 win. Teneal Schick scored twice, while Broomfield and Chaffee added singles. Bailey Schick recorded the shutout. Sunday morning the Wolves scored early and often as they cruised past the 100 Mile House
Storm. Cassie Hogman potted a hat trick, while singles were added by Kennedy Wiebe, Emily Hendricks, Sarah Austin and Broomfield. The gold-medal final was a rematch between the Wolves and the Richmond Ravens. The Wolves ran into penalty trouble and spent much of the first period shorthanded, killing six
consecutive penalties. The solid play from the Wolves defensive core of Alena Mayer, Amanda Yonkman, Cassie Able, Alexis Hemmond, White and Chaffee kept the Ravens from threatening. With six minutes left in the third period the Wolves attacked the Ravens zone in waves and crashed their goal relentlessly.
Broomfield found herself alone at the side of the net and put home the game’s first and only goal, with assists to Wiebe and Stefanie Martin. The Ravens pressed hard, pulling their goalie, and the Wolves had to kill penalties for the rest of the game. Bailey, again, was outstanding between the pipes — unyielding and would not be beaten — allowing Williams Lake to prevail in a 1-0 victory. “It was a fitting end for Grade 12 graduating players Emily Hendricks, assistant captain Alexa Nelson, and Wolves captain Alena Mayer, as this was their final game as part of Williams Lake Minor Hockey,” said head coach Cordell Wiebe.

Mack returns from Crashed Ice worlds Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Williams Lake’s Trevor Mack recently returned from his fifth time competing at the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championships. The 21-year-old punched his ticket to worlds, hosted in Quebec City from March 19-23, after posting the fourth-fastest qualifying time in B.C. at the Olympic Oval in Richmond on Feb. 21. The Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championships sets a stage for fearless competitors from Canada and around the globe as participants strap on a pair of hockey skates and proceed to battle their way down a 594-metre ice track built with dropoffs, turns, jumps and gaps at speeds of more than 60 kilometres per hour. This year Mack, currently living in Vancouver working in freelance video contract work, qualified with a team of three other competitors from B.C. — Abbotsford’s Robert Vos, Vancouver’s Clayton Tinkley and Victoria’s Kai Fuglem. “There are individual events but now they created team events, so eight guys, four from each team, all skate down that tiny track,” Mack said. “We were able to get Cariboo Brewing as a team sponsor so we entered a team.” This year, on an entirely new track built several kilometres away from the normal event location, Mack placed 76th out of 150 in qualifying in the individual competition. “I’m not sure what we got in the team trials because they involved all the guys — all the professional guys we were going against — and we didn’t really care, we just wanted to have some fun.” Following the qualifying rounds the top 32 moved on to the team elimination challenge, before the final round was shown on TV last
Saturday. Mack first competed at the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championships as an 18 year old. He competed twice in 2012, once in Niagra Falls and last year in Quebec City. “It’s the entire experience,” he said. “It’s something that I can’t not get used to. Red Bull pays for everything, we’re staying in hotels, I’m meeting Russian Olympic athletes — all these guys are so amazing. “There are athletes from around the world, a crowd of 100,000 people. It’s a remarkable experience.” This summer Mack and fellow Team BC members plan to build a practice track somewhere in the province. “Kind of like a mountain bike trail, but with lumber and everything, and we’ll use roller blades, and train through there,” he said, adding Team BC is looking for potential sponsors for the team and track. “I’m going back again

I want to take it to an entirely new level. Red Bull’s been pushing for it to be an Olympic sport so I’d really like to be competitive at that.” For more information or if you’re interested in helping out Team BC contact Mack at trevor. ryan.mack@gmail.com.

Moleschi, Team Canada, set for Asian tour Williams Lake’s Kayla Moleschi and Canada’s Women’s Sevens Team will begin an important twotournament stretch this weekend in Asia. Coming into the tournament — part of the Women’s Sevens World Series — Canada posted a second-place finish in Atlanta, G.A., and a third-place finish in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Canada currently sits in third place in the WSWS standings. Moleschi, the team and staff travelled from Victoria to Vancouver before arriving in Hong Kong Monday, where they began preparations for Friday’s Hong Kong Invitational Sevens. Last year Canada won the Cup championship, outscoring their opponents 144-0 in the process. The Hong Kong Sevens is one of the sport’s most popular events and it is most

likely Team Canada will play in front of 40,000 spectators if they make it to the Cup Final. After the tournament concludes the team will travel by train to Guangzhou in advance of the China Sevens, the fourth round of the WSWS.
This is an important tournament for Canada as they sit eight points behind series leaders New Zealand and Australia. Canada needs a winning performance in Gunaghou to have any realistic shot at winning this year’s series.
Canada opened its tournament yesterday evening at 5:30 p.m. against Hong Kong, before meeting Kazakhstan later at 8:10 p.m. The cup final went at 4:52 a.m. local time. The Hong Kong Sevens was be streamed live at en.hirugby.com.

Turn on the romance with a nice home-cooked meal Men have always had different ways to please a woman, and today the male species is learning that a nice meal may be the way to a woman’s heart, or at least her taste buds. Statistics today show more men are taking the culinary challenges, and ‘kitchen’ is no longer a dirty word. They are spending more time in the kitchen to prepare meals for their wives, significant others, and girlfriends.

About four inches long should work for the brie. Season the breasts and then sauté them in butter, oil and garlic on medium heat, turning until browned on all sides. Turn the heat down a little and put in enough wine to half-way cover the breast then add a splash of brandy. Cook chicken until done and set on a side plate to keep warm. Reduce the stock in the pan, sieve and serve overtop the chicken. Take some time to
