RCMP seek information on Monday robbery The Williams Lake RCMP are looking for information about a robbery at the Fraser Inn Beer and Wine Store that took place last Monday. On July 28 at 10:57 p.m. RCMP responded to a panic alarm at the beer and wine store, located at 245 Donald Rd. “Workers stated that two First Nation males entered the store with bear spray and demand-
ed money,” RCMP Sgt. Rick Lebeuf said. “The suspects left the store with an undisclosed amount of money.” One male was described as wearing a black hoodie and a black baseball hat with a zebra pattern on the brim. The male was also wearing a red bandanna over his face. The second male was described as wearing a white/red/black
“Fox” jersey. Both males appeared to be under 18 years of age, police said. Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to call the Williams Lake RCMP at 250392-6211 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Missing girl located On Thursday, the RCMP re-
ported that Shyla Billly, 12, had been located safe by an RCMP officer conducting patrols. She was located 24 hours after the RCMP sent out a notice saying they were trying to locate her. At the time police did not suspect foul play but wanted to locate her. “We thank the public for the assistance in locating her,” Sgt. Rick Lebeuf said.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Even though Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake has lost two of its science professors to TRU in Kamloops, the campus will continue offering academic courses, campus executive director Ray Sanders said Tuesday. “We have eliminated science as a major because we didn’t have enough people who majored in it, but we are still offering arts and sciences courses. “There are a lot of rumours out there that we’re only going to offer trades and that’s just not true.” Sanders said with four science majors it wasn’t economical to retain professors Martin Lettinga and Rob Higgins. “Our big problem is the province cannot paint us with the same paintbrush as

W.L. band disappointed in mine revenue share Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A cheque for $4,500 is not what the Williams Lake Indian Band expected for its share of a year’s mineral tax revenue from Mount Polley Mine near Williams Lake. When the band signed an Economic and Community Development Agreement (ECDA) with the government in 2013, the minister of aboriginal relations and reconciliation at the time said the agreement would help the band build a better future for its community. “These agreements underscore our government’s commitment to helping First Nations meaningfully participate in, and benefit from, resource activity happening within their traditional territory,” then minister Ida Chong said at the agreement signing. The cheque won’t cover one person’s tuition let alone build a better future, Chief

Williams Lake band Chief Ann Louie. Ann Louie said. “We were anticipating $400,000,” she explained. “Now we’ve learned we are only entitled to mineral taxes on the expansion of the mine. One person working at the mine pays more than that in taxes.” Minister of Aboriginal Relations John Rustad’s office said ECDAs underscore the government’s commitment to First Nations and represent one of the many innovative
ways in which our government is working in partnership with First Nations — partnerships defined by collaboration, co-operation and respect. Louie, however, said the band has worked hard to be fair, and if the $4,500 is any indication of revenue the band can expect in the future for development of resources on its traditional territories, First Nations won’t be eager to sign agreements.

“People jump on the band wagon and say we get everything for free and it’s just not true,” Louie added. “To offer up such a minuscule amount and suggest it represents a legitimate sharing is offensive in the extreme and simply provoking First Nations to take action.” The ministry, however, said the agreement is that WLIB receives 18.5 per cent of the incremental mineral tax revenue from the Mount Polley
mine expansion and $4,500 equals 2.23 per cent and relates to how much of total production was attributable to the expansion (new revenue) in 2013/14. “So this number will grow as the expansion is developed,” the ministry said, adding mineral tax revenue is subject to a number of outside factors such as market conditions and commodities prices volatility, production costs and exchange rates. “Depressed commodity prices in 2013 coupled with low incremental ore production from the Mount Polley expansion have contributed to this 2013/14 project payment.” Project payment amounts could increase in future production years depending on commodities prices and production levels. When asked how much revenue the government is receiving in mineral tax from mines in the Cariboo, the ministry said confiden-
AN APPLE A DAY... It seems that tablet devices like the iPad are being introduced to children at earlier ages all the time. Experts believe this can be a good thing for children, even those younger than two years old, as long as the toddlers spend no more than a half hour daily with the device. Have you ever heard of bendopnea? It’s a new word for a new symptom. Patients with advanced heart failure often become short of breath when they bend over. Cardiologists are now looking to this symptom as a sign the patient needs help soon. Bendopnea comes from the root word “apnea” meaning shortness of breath. Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the outer ear canal caused by water remaining in the ear after swimming or bathing. It’s common in the summer months. Drying the ears well after swimming is part of the prevention. You can also use a homemade ear drop of equal parts vinegar and rubbing alcohol to help the ear dry. The acidity of the vinegar could help prevent infection. Even though advertising drugs in the media is illegal in Canada, Canadians still see those ads flowing across the border from the U.S. The ads paint glowing pictures of the drugs and how great they are; however, many of these drugs are no better than others already in use.

tiality provisions under the Mineral Tax Act preclude the disclosure of tax information. Louie is calling on
government to revisit the agreement program describing the present situation as unacceptable.
Band finances become public The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is applauding the fact the public can now access the financial information of First Nations bands across Canada. “This week, for the very first time, taxpayers and the band members who cast ballots to elect those chiefs and councils are getting to see the financial statements and political salaries for those bands,” Jordan Batemen of the CTF said in an opinion piece Wednesday. The information is being posted to a new federal government website following last year’s adoption of a law mandating that these financial reports be put on the Aborigi-
nal Affairs and Northern Development Canada’s website at http://pse5-esd5.aincinac.gc.ca/fnp/Main/ S e a r c h / S e a r c h F F. aspx?lang=eng. Batemen said the CTF, along with advocates and whistleblowers in several First Nations communities, have been calling for this move since 2009. As of Thursday, July 31, the financial statements and salary information from Soda Creek, Williams Lake Indian Band and Yunesit’in (Stone) were posted on the website as well as the 2013 to 2014 financial statements from Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah) and Tsi Del Del (Alexis Creek) bands.

Speculating on W.L. civic race We have a civic election coming our way this fall and I hope we can get a better turnout of voters than the last go around. We never attained the 50 per cent mark for the voter turnout. Less than one-half of eligible voters turned out to elect those who set the direction for Williams Lake. That is a shame we didn’t get a good voter turnout, but it was better than in Quesnel or 100 Mile House. Just more than one half of the electorate had a reason to not fill out an election ballot. Why? Perhaps we should emulate Australia. If you don’t vote you are fined and the cost is added to your tax bill. What do you think? This election appears to have two people running for the mayors seat. It looks like incum-

bent Mayor Kerry Cook and Coun. Surinderpal Rather will do battle this fall. I did hear that Walt Cobb may run again. I think you should take that jet plane into retirement. You have served us well as an MLA, as a mayor and councillor, so now, save the politics for being a Beaver president, or whatever, you don’t need to do any more Walt. Also I heard another rumour that Scott Nelson will run for council. I hope he would get elected as council would have two former mayors to help guide the process of running the community affairs. Still with politics,
Brian Battison of Taseko Mines suggested in a speech recently in Williams Lake, that he has never met such a hard working MLA as Donna Barnett...quite a compliment from Battison as he has met and worked with several provincially elected members of the legislative assembly over the years in his job as a vice-president of the
mining company. And more politics.... Councillor for the Williams Lake Indian Band Rick Gilbert told the same mining get-together that there are many benefits to Taseko/Gibraltar Mine and they appreciate the co-operation and what they do to build a strong relationship. He got a good laugh when he said the mine is good for this area
because it will “bring peace in the valley.” It was good to see Rick again as I have not seen him for a number of years. Keep up the good work Rick. I hope you have a good long weekend folks ... remember to drive safely if you are travelling when lots of drivers will be on the highways.

Consultation sheds light on farmland changes Tom Fletcher Black Press Since commercial production of wine or cider is allowed on farmland, why not a brewery, distillery or meadery? Should energy cogeneration be allowed on farms, using manure or other biodegradable waste to produce methane gas and carbon dioxide? These are some of the questions included in the B.C. government’s consultation on changes to Agricultural Land Reserve regulations, released this week. Others deal with controversial proposals to allow specified non-farm uses, secondary residences and subdivisions without permission from the Agricultural Land Commission. Developed after consultation with the B.C. Agriculture Council, local governments and the commission, the 11 questions offer more detail on changes the government is considering under legislation passed despite protests this spring. The legislation divided the ALR into two zones, to permit more flexibility in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions (Zone 2) where both agriculture revenue and de-
velopment pressure are lower. One question asks whether farmland in all of Zone 2 should be able to be subdivided down to a minimum of a quarter section (65 hectares) without application to the ALC, as is now allowed in the Peace River and Northern Rockies Regional Districts in northeast B.C. Another proposal is to allow subdivision without ALC approval where farmland is divided by a major waterway or highway, subject to a minimum size. The province is also considering relaxing lease rules, which currently permit leasing of an entire farm property without ALC approval. The consultation asks if a portion of property should be allowed for lease to permit “intergenerational transfer,” where farmers retire on a portion of their land so their children can continue to farm the rest. Another proposal for partial lease without ALC approval would allow unfarmed land to be brought into production. The partial leases would not require a formal subdivision. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has em-
phasized that changes to the ALR are designed to support farming, not erode the protected agricultural land base. Public input is be-
ing accepted until Aug. 22. The questions and a background paper are available online at www.engage.gov.bc.ca/ landreserve, where submissions can be
made. Comments can also be made by email to A LC A _ f e e d b a c k @ gov.bc.ca or by Canada Post to ALR Regulation Consultation,

Happy B.C. Day It’s B.C. Day on Monday, Aug. 4 and it comes at the best time of the year — the middle of summer. Those of us who are lucky enough to live in British Columbia will enjoy the statutory holiday by enjoying our amazing climate, geography and culture. It’s almost a Canadian responsibility to get outdoors and enjoy the waning days of summer. We actually have it all in British Columbia — from the Pacific Ocean to the Rocky Mountains. The vast interior plains and forests, to the lakes and rivers scattered across the province are all within easy reach. The vineyards and orchards in the Okanagan and the Fraser Valley farms all supply us with what we need and what we enjoy. This is a very abundant province with such a variety of landscapes and seascapes. We have the potential to grow all of our own food and Mother Nature supplies the rest. So why don’t we? It is imperative to preserve what farm land we have and say “no” when it is being wrestled away from the farmer to the developer. Farming doesn’t make anyone rich, but we need to ensure we can supply our own needs without relying on other countries for food. We may not be able to grow avocados or mangoes, but we can grow the basics. We need to ensure our resources remain in Canadian hands because this is our inheritance and our legacy. We can’t and shouldn’t sell it away to the highest bidder. We all take pride in being British Columbians and we need to remember what we love about this province, what it affords us and why it is important to protect our life in this province. Take a moment on this B.C. Day to reflect on the beauty of our province and the incredible lifestyle we enjoy here. Take a road less travelled and discover a place you may never have been to before. Enjoy our beaches and lakes and cities and bask in the knowledge that we live in the best place on earth. Happy B.C. Day. Black Press

Alternative to residual burning proposed Fire management plan for residual logging material. Minor adjustments to existing process could lead to a paradigm shift. As noted in the information to follow, the main reason for burning residual logging material is the fear that the Wildfire Management Branch may try to lay the blame of a wild fire in a logging block on the tenure holder. If the government does a post fire inspection and concludes logging waste contributed to the start and or spread of the fire, all or a portion of the firefighting costs will be charged to the tenure holder. As a result tenure holders leave minimal amounts of logging debris on site. In opposition to minimal fibre being left on site are concerns about soil depletion, ecological concerns, carbon dioxide release and loss of opportunities for alternate saw log uses. An alternative is the retention
the
weekend
Forest Ink Jim Hilton of larger cull logs in piles that are left in a way that meets the criteria of a Fire Management Plan (FMP). If a wild fire occurs on a block that has followed a fire management plan and the tenure holder ends up in court, the plan should help convince the judge that due diligence was followed in reducing the chance of a fire. The key work is to reduce not eliminate. On a dry year a wildfire could easily advance across a cut block containing only dry grass and shrubs with little if any logging residue. The main tenet of the FMP is
that large logs (with a minimum top size of 7.5 centimetres in diameter) stacked in piles represent a minimal fire risk in the field. The cull logs would be located in such a way as to minimize igniting each other if one did start on fire and would also be surrounded by a fireguard i.e. free of small more combustible material. The finer material branches, tops, small stems etc. would be stacked in piles that would facilitate burning if chipping is not feasible. The ideal situation would be to use the logs as some form of bio-energy product (wood pellets, bio-oil or bio-char etc.) but in some cases the logs might not be used, but left on site to eventually contribute to soil organic matter as they decay. Some other issues are the extra costs of processing the logs, loss of planting sites because of the potential long-term nature of the piles and policy concerns regarding the road access and safety
concerns about using the cull material. Woodlots and community forests or other area-based tenures would likely be the best tenures to initiate the log retention concept because there are many advantages to the locals associated with a change in harvesting practices. The cull logs would provide the opportunity for fire wood and related products as well promoting job opportunities associated with the bio-energy businesses. Reducing smoke pollution in the rural communities would also be a potential advantage. The existing burning program is not perfect, the fire risk was reduced considerably but not eliminated. In some cases cull piles are only partially burned or left unburned for years. Future articles should include input from the Wildfire Branch regarding the history of fire associated with residual logging material. The government could change
some policies that would encourage tenure holders to consider options other than burning but as we know government is not known for making quick changes. I am proposing a voluntary adjustment of practices that are already taking place. For example, a phasing in of the log retention process so government and industry could work out the most efficient methods for storing and using the cull logs and experiment with ways of dealing with concerns discussed previously. If some of these minor changes reduced the burning by five to 10 per cent in the first year it could lead the way to a paradigm shift that could bring about a major change to our forest and employment picture. These inconvenient log piles would force government, industry and potential biomass users to work on ways of using the residual material rather than turning it into polluting gases.

Published by Black Press 188 N. 1st Avenue Williams Lake BC, V2G 1Y8
In defence of younger drivers A recent column on the B.C. government’s decision to raise speed limits on portions of rural highways excited numerous comments from readers. Some questioned my suggestion that today’s new drivers are worse because they spend their formative years staring at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and grasping the grim physics of the real world. There is no doubt that B.C.’s graduated licensing system for new drivers is more difficult than what my generation faced. Those vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner, or as teens prefer “loser”) and “N” (for novice, or in teen-speak “nerd”) have been around since 1998. The two steps make getting a full driver’s licence a longer, more difficult and expensive process. Statistics provided by ICBC show what new drivers are up against.
B.C. Views
with Tom Fletcher
First there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a learner’s permit. From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their first attempt. Things improved in subsequent years, with a 46-percent failure rate in 2009 declining to 42 per cent by 2013. The first road test is required to go from “L” to “N” and it seems sufficiently harsh. The failure rate
has been consistently around 47 per cent in the past six years. More practice and another $35 are required to try again. Students fare better on the second road test, where the failure rate has consistently been 21-22 per cent for the past decade. ICBC reports that in the first three years of the graduated licence program, the new driver crash rate dropped by 16 per cent. In 2003 the required learner and novice period were extended, and restrictions on the novice stage were increased. New driver crashes fell by another 28 per cent. Those restrictions include the number of passengers and a “zero tolerance” for alcohol. Impaired crash and injury statistics aren’t available for drivers in the graduated licence program, only fatalities. They grew as more new drivers were enrolled in the new system, to a high of 24 in
2007, but that declined to 14 by 2012. There will always be young people who drive impaired, speed or make other fatal errors. But it’s difficult to argue that today’s system in B.C. is lenient. A couple of readers were concerned about the effect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers. One suggested that higher limits on rural highways are a poor mix with vacationing seniors hauling around oversized motorhomes, trailers and boats. Another cited the coming wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuanaimpaired drivers, all emboldened by the invitation to drive faster. B.C.’s medical health officers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds increase
the risk and severity of incidents. Then there is the government’s own position, articulated in a road safety strategy released last year by Attorney General Suzanne Anton. “Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and injured in the traffic system,” it states. “At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buffer that lowered speeds create.” The strategy notes that new technologies such as adaptive cruise control are becoming available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed limit signs that change with weather and traffic conditions. Next comes self-driving vehicle systems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Adventures of a boy working on a ranch in the 1950s Bruce MacLeod
Special to The Tribune/Advisor Setting: Calloway Ranch, Horsefly (today the Walter’s Ranch). In 1955, my second year haying in Horsefly, with a raise to $6 per day, my boss Gordon Thompson went to Williams Lake on a Sunday looking for a couple of men to help with the haying. Common practice then was to scour the jail for willing workers, and bail them out if they agreed to come and work for you, so Gordon came back to Horsefly with Ernie Sam and Clarence Bates. Gosh these were nice people. Ernie was from Clinton, and Clarence was from the Bates family in Williams Lake. Ernie was about 35 and Clarence about 21 or so. Ernie was a typical cowboy, taciturn, weathered, and a great worker, while Clarence was much more outgoing, happy-go-lucky, and was a fine guitar player and singer. Both were excellent workers. I recall a time when Gordon went to town, leaving instructions with us as to what to do this day. I was bunching windrows, and Ernie and Clarence were building cocks (miniature haystacks) of hay as fast as they were able. The sky overhead was dark with an impending thunderstorm. Suddenly, that which we feared happened. The floodgates opened and a typical Cariboo torrential downpour occurred. In seconds, I was drenched to the skin, and haying was over for the day.
Tribune/Weekend Advisor freelance writer Bruce MacLeod at age 14. I was about a mile or so from where Ernie and Clarence were working, so I trotted my team over in the general direction where I had seen them last. At first I couldn’t figure out where they were. There was no sign anyone was even around at all. Finally I realized the wily natives had taken a full forkful of hay and inverted it, so standing upside down with the handle on the ground, the forkful of hay provided an umbrella under which crouched my stalwart friends Clarence and Ernie, dry as toast. “We may as well go in for lunch now” I called out. Both men stood up at the same time and said, “OK Bruce.” What happened next was astonishing. My team, Duke on the left and Breeze on the right, spooked when
the haystacks stood up and began moving and talking. Both horses snorted in fright. The hair stood up along their backs. They pulled a 180 degree turn and tore off with their tails in the air and manes flying and galloping faster than I had ever travelled before. Talk about excitement! They headed in the general direction of Williams Lake at a flat out gallop. I had no idea what to do. I stood up and pulled back with all my strength and yelled whoa! We picked up a few miles per hour. Now I had seen Tom Mix jump onto the backs of the team and pull them to a halt in the movies, and in the comics, cowboys were doing it as a matter of course, so my thought was I would be safest if I could get aboard either horse. I didn’t see how I could possibly jump off the back of the rake over the tines and the seat. It was all I could do to hang on as it was. The rake was alternating between bouncing three feet up on the left side to two feet on the other, and being completely airborne as we careened wildly across the field. I tried to ignore the thundering hooves and my fear, and stepped gingerly onto the tongue between the doubletrees while hanging onto the seat with one hand, and holding the reins in the other as we bounced along at full speed across the field in a straight line towards nowhere. I grabbed the harness on the inside of Duke first while stretching out from my feeble grip on the
steel seat of the rake. Next, I let go the seat and grabbed Breeze’s harness. Now I was beyond the point of no return! The sound of galloping hooves was deafening. Suddenly the tongue cracked under my feet! I almost lost my grip with my left hand. I lost the reins. I had to go further forward so I could climb aboard either horse. Now I was really scared! Another crack! The tongue gave beneath my feet, and I lost my balance and fell between the horses. I lost the grip on Duke’s harness with my left hand, and hung on to Breeze with my right hand for about a couple of leaps. I was bouncing off the side of her leg. I had to let go or I would have got stepped on, so I let go. Instantly I was caught up in the rake. I thought I was going to die, and was slightly embarrassed at the way it was happening. I could feel the tines in my back. At least with our speed, I was basically airborne as opposed to rolling on the ground, which no doubt would have done more harm. I was held against the tines by the acceleration of the horses. All of a sudden, the rake straddled a small hollow, and bounced upward at the same time. This was the final straw for the tongue and it snapped completely, at the same time I rolled free. The broken tongue jammed into the ground, and the rake turned end over end at least three or four times going south toward Moffat Creek, while the team and tongue veered north at full speed.
I stood in silence watching my team, wondering when they would stop, where they would go, would they hurt themselves? Clarence and Ernie came running up. They were killing themselves laughing. They stood with me and we watched my team, until finally at long last they wrapped themselves around a fence post a mile or so away. All this action happened in a very short time. When the rake dropped me in the hollow, my momentum made it appear that I had rolled like a cat to my feet and was in complete control of my actions, however, nothing could have been further from the truth. I did have small tine marks down my spine where the teeth dug in for years after. I don’t know about now. I wandered over to the team and untangled them from the fence and the post, and rode home in the rain. One thing I learned on a ranch and that was if you got bucked off, you got right back on. Of course I was too young to ever fear old Duke or Breeze, and I realized it wasn’t their fault. Since Gordon wasn’t home, and it was raining, I went fishing for the afternoon along the river in the field, and caught some nice trout for dinner. My adventure didn’t seem to faze Gordon at all, and after reading other cowboy exploits, mine is only unusual because I was only 12. I also learned how to build a new tongue for the rake the next day, and was back at work by 11 a.m.

$40 a day for parents if BCTF strike drags on Tom Fletcher Black Press If the teacher strike isn’t settled by September, the B.C. government will use the payroll savings to pay $40 per missed school day to parents of children under 13, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Thursday. Negotiations with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation remain stalled after a two-week strike in June that cost the province’s 40,000 public school teachers $12 million a day in salary. That’s the estimated cost of the support
program aimed to go to tutoring or daycare for younger children if they can’t go to school. De Jong said older children don’t require as much supervision, and have online options to maintain their studies if the labour dispute takes more instructional time away. The amount was chosen to compensate families of 300,000 children up to age 12 in public school at no net cost to the provincial budget. Parents would have to register online to be eligible for compensation, to be paid by Oc-
tober. De Jong said there are five weeks remaining in the summer break for most public schools to reach a settlement with the BCTF, and he hopes the program won’t be needed. BCTF president Jim Iker termed the move “a blatant and divisive attempt to prolong disruption in B.C. schools” and renewed his call for a mediator to help bridge the differences between the government and the union.

school district negotiators say the BCTF’s contract demands are far out of step with other unions, particularly on increased classroom preparation time and other benefit improvements.

New data released on labour shortages The latest Help Wanted report from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business’ (CFIB) shows that when employers have open jobs, they try to attract talent by raising wages, yet severe labour shortages persist. This disproves a common belief that businesses with labour shortages simply need to pay higher wages to attract staff. “Employers with at
least one long-term job vacancy expect to increase wages by significantly more than do employers without vacancies,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s chief economist and vicepresident. “This differential exists across all provinces and industries, and interestingly, is most pronounced in the hospitality sector.” Most businesses in the hospitality and retail sectors were recently excluded from using
the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) to address severe labour shortages. Minister of Employment and Social Development Jason Kenney has gone so far as to lecture employers that all they need to do is raise wages to attract local Canadian talent. These latest findings, based on CFIB data from 2009 to 2014, suggest they are already doing so. “This is remarkable

labour market data that no one, not even the government has gathered,” added CFIB president Dan Kelly. “We think this merits the government taking a fresh look at the TFWP and other options like using the permanent immigration system to help employers that are desperate for workers, and just can’t attract the staff they need locally.” The latest job vacancy numbers – for Q1 –
remained fairly stable, with approximately 312,000 full and parttime jobs remaining unfilled, a rate of 2.6 per cent. The quarterly report is based on surveys of CFIB members on economic and business conditions, including labour shortages. Job vacancies in the report are defined as openings that remain unfilled for at least four months because business owners have been unable to find suitable
employees. The smallest businesses (between one and 19 employees) continue to bear the brunt of labour shortages, with a vacancy rate of 4.1 per cent. Broken down by province, the vacancy rate was once again highest in Alberta (3.8 per cent) and Saskatchewan (3.6) in Q1. British Columbia (2.8) had the biggest increase in the quarter. Meanwhile, Manitoba
(2.7), Newfoundland and Labrador (2.6) and Quebec continued to hover around the national average. The lowest vacancy rates were in Ontario (2.2) and the Maritimes (around 2). Vacancies were steady in most sectors in Q1, with retail, hospitality, manufacturing and construction continuing to have the most potential job openings, more than 35,000 each.

Prayer: Spontaneous or Ritual? Some people focus on spontaneous prayer, while others focus on external ritual with set prayers, candles, posture, etc. Is it possible to have the marriage of the two, namely, a ritually spontaneous prayer? Do not opposites attract? Rather than pitting one against the other, the two should complement each other in a mystical marriage. I recall a beautiful analogy that shows how the two work together. The analogy is that of a pianist. A pianist will practice the same song over and over, repeating the same drills ritually. Then after lots of practice and when he is ready to perform, he will use the ritual that he has practiced. Without worrying about the mechanics of playing the piano, he will freely and spontaneously “tickle” the keys on the piano, and make music that will move your soul. Compare this, on one hand, to someone who wants spontaneity without ritual practice. They may randomly hit the keys and make sounds, but probably won’t move your soul. On the other hand, compare this with one who practices ritually, but performs robotically, without spontaneity. The pianist may hit all the right
PARSONS PEN
BY Father Derrick keys, but it may be done very mechanically, like a body without a spirit. When the ritual practice and spontaneity work together, however, it does wonders. When Jesus was on the cross, He said: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”The Bible quotes the first line of psalm 22, but wants to invoke the hearer (or reader) to have the whole of Psalm 22 in mind. Jesus, raised as a religious Jew, would have memorized the entire psalm. It would have been ritually drilled into him so much that even in the midst of the excruciating pain
of being crucified, he would by second nature pray this psalm (at least part of it). Psalm 22 starts off in doom and gloom, but if one reads the whole psalm, especially to the end, it actually is a psalm of victory. Jesus is victorious over sin and death through his own suffering and death. That is why this psalm is appropriate when He is on the cross. We too need to set some form of practice or ritual in prayer in our day. Just as many people routinely eat three meals a day to keep their physical bodies alive, so we should apply this to our spiritual lives.We need to have three spiritual meals a day to keep us spiritually alive in our relationship with Jesus Christ. So, a spiritual breakfast may be reading the Bible. Break the night fasting (Break – fast) with chewing on the Word of God. A spiritual lunch may be reading from a spiritual book (which should be a gurgitation of the Bible), the life of a saint or of a spiritual writer. A spiritual dinner could be quiet time or meditation on the Word of God. By doing this every day, the Word of God will spontaneously flow out of your actions and words, becoming second nature.

Law student gains experience in the lakecity Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Thompson Rivers University secondyear law student Clare Hauser has been working at John Russell barrister and solicitor in Williams Lake since May and will continue through the summer. Her placement in the lakecity was solidified through Rural Education and Access to Lawyers (REAL), a program funded by the Canadian Bar Association BC Branch (CBABC). The program arose due to access to legal services concerns in the profession of the increasing average age of lawyers in small communities and the preference among new lawyers to practice in urban areas, CBABC said. “It’s great because it offers a solid source of assistance,” Hauser said of the program. She described her placement at Russell’s office as a temporary articling position. It is not as official as full articling because she doesn’t have to do rotations
through the different types of law, she explained. “Basically I’m learning the office, getting to know other lawyers in town, and learning about the type of law John does, which is mainly commercial and conveyancing.” Office secretary Christine Mason said Hauser’s “quite a firecracker.” “So far she’s worked on a dispute case, some wills and done some research and she’s been offered an articling position here for the following year.” Hauser grew up in Victoria attending boarding school because her father worked around the world. Her interest in law began while pursuing a bachelor of arts degree, she said. During a co-op position with the Canadian Forces Base she worked in human resources doing labour related files. “I had to go through cases between the government and the unions and found that interesting.” A stint at the Ministry of Children and
Family Development in Victoria where she met several lawyers working on family law also solidified her desire to pursue the profession. “I wasn’t sick of it yet, I thought most of the lawyers I met were very proactive, and decided it would suit me,” she chuckled. Hauser said she chose to study law at TRU because Kamloops is plunked in the middle of the province and a good hub to network from. “I thought it would be a good opportunity if I wanted to work in a smaller centre other than Victoria or Vancouver.” Every day on the job in Williams Lake is different and because Russell is the sole lawyer in the firm she is gaining a variety of experiences, she added. Aside from studying law, Hauser plays the violin, loves to read and travel. She also loves animals and that’s worked out well because the people she’s staying with in 150 Mile House have animals as do many of the people she works with.

Anti-gang tactics working: RCMP Jeff Nagel Black Press The battle against gangs in B.C. has made big advances but now is not the time to relax, a top B.C. Mountie told a conference on youth gang prevention Thursday. RCMP Chief Supt. Dan Malo said he believes redoubled community efforts and new policing tactics can further dent organized crime and prevent a resurgence of the gangland bloodbath of five years ago. “We’re down in the statistics,” Malo told delegates in Surrey at the Acting Together gang prevention conference organized by Kwantlen Polytechnic University. “A number of [gangsters] are in jail, a number of them are dead, a number of them have changed their behaviour and others we have forced to change their behaviour.” There have been just three ganglinked murders in B.C. so far this year, way down from 2007 to 2009, when the annual death toll ran as high as 36. Malo said it’s becoming clear a police strategy of pressuring prolific gangsters to make life uncomfortable and rob them of their power and influence is helping. He said it’s also clear earlier enforcement in B.C. failed because gang members “weren’t being touched” while they

RCMP Chief Superintendent Dan Malo spent lavishly and developed the attitude they were “superstars” who could kill at will. “In the 90s and the 2000s we let people people like [gangster] Bindy Johal run crazy. We let the United Nations Gang and the Independent Soldiers run around with hoodies on that said they were all that.” Youth in B.C. cities were recruited and sucked into the vortex of violence “Many of these young kids went from street level bullying to drug trafficking to extortion to contract killing in a matter of a few years, when traditional organized crime takes decades to do that.” Past policing success was measured too much by the number of bad guys jailed or kilograms of cocaine seized, Malo said, and focused heavily on taking out top crime kingpins. Today, he said, more effort aims to
change attitudes and behaviours. “It needs to become part of the fabric of British Columbia that this kind of behaviour is not tolerated. We take our young kids, we turn them into superstars in our communities – not gangsters.” The new endganglife.ca campaign of B.C.’s anti-gang police unit plays on emotions of gangsters with imagery of loved ones left behind after they’re dead. Malo said it worked on one exLower Mainland gangster, who recently agreed to exit the life rather imagine his child having to bury him. The biggest challenge was answering the man’s question of what he would do now to keep earning $6,000 a day. Malo said officers arranged for the exgangster to enter a training program for a job that will pay well. “If they choose to exit that lifestyle, we’re going to help them do that,” he told delegates. “We’re going to support them because they’re going to change their behaviour.” Community groups can play a huge role in helping build strong character in youth and “give them role models that are not Jamie Bacon.” Malo also wants to put pressure on others who profit from gang activity. “We have to lean on businesses that
take straight cash for vehicles,” he said. “We know car rental places that make all their money from renting cars to gangsters. We need to work with them maybe tell them that’s not the right side of the community they need to be in.” While there have been signs of success – Malo also counts the doubling in the
Exploring the Puddle
price of cocaine in the past couple of years to $60,000 a kilogram, indicating a crimp in supply – there are also trouble spots. Heroin overdoses have spiked in the last six months, he said. And too many B.C. criminals remain influential players in the international drug trade.

Tips from The CrD
escape planning
Plan Ahead. If a fire breaks out in your home, you may have only a few minutes to get out safely once the smoke alarm sounds. Everyone needs to know what to do and where to go if there is a fire.
SAFETY TIPS • • • • • • •
Friday, August 1, 2014 Tribune Weekend Advisor
Draw a home escape plan and discuss it with everyone in your home. Practice the plan at night and during the day with everyone in your home, twice a year. Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors and windows leading outside open easily. Have an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) a safe distance from the home where everyone should meet. Practice using different ways out. Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them. Close doors behind you as you leave.
Paul St. Pierre is remembered Longtime Fort Langley resident and former Times columnist Paul St. Pierre died on Sunday, at the age of 90. St. Pierre was wellknown in B.C. for many decades, first as a reporter and roving columnist with the Vancouver Sun, and as a writer and chronicler of people and activities in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region of B.C. He had a strong interest in people there, whom St. Pierre called in an interview “sufficiently isolated that their personalities could develop independently of the customs and shibboleths of the rest of the world. It was a place where people had strong characters; they knew who they were.” The interest in the people and the region led to several books, including Breaking Smith’s Quarter Horse, and Smith and Other Events. It also led to a TV series on CBC called Cariboo Country, which ran for several seasons in the 1960s. “Paul St Pierre con-
tributed to the great people of the Cariboo Chilcotin through his stories and his dedication during his term as MP,” Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said. “His stories and passion for the people and land of the Cariboo-Chilcotin will be part of the history of this great country and will be his legacy.” At a special evening dedicated to St. Pierre in September 2011, he was presented keys to the City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional District. Presenters noted these were the first keys ever presented to an individual and that they recognized the enduring contribution St. Pierre’s stories, columns, and books had in promoting the Cariboo-Chilcotin region. St. Pierre was also the first person to receive an honorary doctorate from Thompson Rivers University, Williams Lake campus, an honour he received during convocation held May 25, 2012. “It’s the first time we’ve given one out from this campus. It’s

degree of doctor of letters,” director Dr. Ray Sanders said after outlining St. Pierre’s numerous achievements as a journalist, author, former member of parliament, police commissioner, activist and television writer. During the ceremonu St. Pierre received two standing ovations — one when he received the doctorate and certificate, another when he finished giving his address to the graduates. In 1968, he switched to politics, running for the Coast Chilcotin seat in the House of Commons as a Liberal. This was when Pierre Trudeau had just been named leader of the party and prime minister, and the Trudeaumania wave led to 16 Liberals being elected in B.C., a high water mark that has not been seen by the party since that time in B.C. St. Pierre lost his seat by 360 votes in the 1972 election, when the Liberals were reduced to a minority government amidst wide-
spread dissatisfaction, particularly in Western Canada. St. Pierre was wellknown as a sparkling writer of both nonfiction and fiction, and upon his retirement from the Vancouver Sun, he continued to write a freelance column which ran in The Times and many other community newspapers for many years. In his column, he wrote about the Chilcotin, and observations from his cabin at Big Creek; his road trips; Mexico, where he spent many winters; and the way that government policies and heavy-handedness intersected with personal freedoms. St. Pierre was born in Chicago and grew up in Nova Scotia. His first newspaper job was with the Dartmouth Weekly in 1940, and then joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941. He was discharged from the service because of a heart condition. In 1945, he came west to work for the Columbian newspaper in New Westminster. He moved to the Vancouver News-Herald in 1946, and a year later went to the Sun. He was married and divorced twice. He is survived by son Paul and daughters Michelle, Suzanne and Yesica. His health had been quite good until recent months, when he was hospitalized. He died at his home with his family at his side. St. Pierre’s last published writing in The Times was a letter to the editor, published in October, 2012, on the controversial Coulter Berry building, which has divided the residents of Fort Langley. Entitled “Just leave us alone.”

Struggling B.C. pulp mills are being offered $100 million in energy conservation subsidies that Energy Minister Bill Bennett says will pay off through power savings and a stabilized industry. The three-year initiative will benefit seven thermo-mechanical pulp mills run by Catalyst Paper, Canfor, West Fraser and Paper Excellence, which can get 75 per cent funding for energy-saving projects approved under the new PowerSmart program for industry. The companies are huge power users, consuming 10 per cent of the electricity BC Hydro sells, and had warned rate increases of 28 per cent over the next five years could threaten their operations and cost local jobs. Eligible mills are in Crofton, Port Alberni,
Powell River, Taylor, Chetwynd, Port Mellon and Quesnel. The industry’s challenges cast a long shadow in those towns, where pulp and paper jobs are critical to the local economy, and one of the firms – Catalyst – has been emerging from bankruptcy protection. Encouraging reinvestment in power efficiency will mean savings for the companies involved, Bennett said, and will reduce provincial energy demand. “BC Hydro will not have to spend $265 million on new generation because these four companies are going to conserve that much electricity,” Bennett said, adding it will also help protect thousands of jobs across the province. Catalyst Paper president Joe Nemeth said steam now vented at the firm’s Powell River mill will be harnessed for power, reducing
the plant’s draw on the grid. “Electricity is about 30 per cent of our cost structure, so it’s a big deal,” he said. The upgrades are expected to mean power cost savings of $17.5 million a year for the four companies. NDP energy critic Adrian Dix said the province had no other choice but to step in with aid for the industry in light of the dramatic rate increases ahead. “This was just going to bury them,” he said. But Dix said government “incompetence” is to blame for the coming rate shock because of expensive power purchase deals, repeatedly deferred spending, among other decisions at BC Hydro. “This is them desperately trying to deal with a problem they caused through inept energy policy in the past.”

EYES ON THE FINISH LINE Liz Twan photo
With all eyes on the finish line, Brady McNolty and her big quarter horse fly forward toward the point where they’ll break the beam of the electric eye that stops the clock and records the official race time (on the electronic timer) for the duo in the Open Barrel Racing event on Saturday at the W.I.R.E.A./ BCRA (co-approved) Rodeo hosted by the hard-working Esk’et Rodeo Club. The time for McNolty in this go-round was 17.39 seconds, just slightly outside the time required to place in the money.

Davies off to lacrosse nationals Sean Glanville Staff Writer Elizabeth Davies of Williams Lake has become the first lacrosse player from the north to ever make Team BC and will represent the province at the 2014 Female Junior National Championships in Whitby, Ontario Aug. 6-9. Davies was selected to the team after travelling to Coquitlam in March to attend tryouts. “We leave Friday for Vancouver, then I’ll practice with the team Saturday and Sunday and then we fly out as a team on Monday,” said Davies. Davies, 15, has played lacrosse with the Williams Lake Bighorns since 2009 and has always played on boys’ teams. “I think playing with boys all my life has definitely helped me compete at a higher level,” said Davies. The Junior Female division usually features players ages 17-21 but Team BC is made up of girls ages 15-19. Being one of the youngest players in the tournament doesn’t phase Davies, she’s just thrilled to be going after suffering a potentially career-ending knee injury. Last year Davies secured a spot on the Northern B.C.
zone female team which travelled to the Lower Mainland for tournaments. A requirement to stay with the team was that she play on a local boys team. “It was both exciting and hard to continue with a contact sport when the boys in my age group are so much bigger in midget,” said Davies. In her second midget game last May, Davies was hit awkwardly and suffered a double bone marrow contusion that resulted in a full leg brace and crutches for 11 weeks. Physiotherapy was painful and difficult due to the severe pain. By September she was walking on her own and able to start working out with her trainer at Total Ice. Her confidence grew as she became stronger and she began to walk straighter. This January, eight months to the day after her injury, she put on a pair of skates and very cautiously attempted the skating treadmill. “The reality that I could once again play hockey and lacrosse was an incredible feeling,” said Davies. Her competitive flame inside was once again ignited and pushed her to train hard in preparation for the Team BC camp in March. She pushed hard at
the gym and started on-ice early morning sessions before school. “The coaches and players at the camp were welcoming and the experience was great,” said Davies. “I owe a lot to all of the trainers at Total Ice who encouraged me back into competitive sports.” Davies has been making weekend trips to the Lower Mainland for the past five weeks in order to practice with the team as well as training on her own while in town. “I have my own net so I usually do an hour of stick and ball work every day when I’m home and then every weekend for the last month or so I’ve been heading down to practice with the team,” said Davies. Davies’ knee still bothers her on occasion but not enough to hold her back from playing the sports she loves. “After a game or practice it sometimes bugs me but I’m pretty close to being fully recovered,” explained Davies. Aside from staying in shape, Davies has been busy fundraising for the nationals through working at her job at Staples and support from many local sponsors.

What would have been the 37th Annual Nemiah Valley Rodeo has been changed to a gymkhana this August long weekend. The famous Nemiah Mountain Race will still take place this year. Shifting to a gymkhana format will allow more local members of the Nemiah community to participate in the event.

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I did not die.

With heavy hearts the family announces the passing of Ray at the age of 86, on July 27, 2014. Ray was born in 1927 and raised in Victoria, B.C. and in Victoria was where he started his career in the B.C. Forest Service as a mechanical engineering technologist. In 1973 Ray, his wife Shirley, and his young family transferred to the growing young city of Williams Lake, and was responsible for supervising the construction of the many new Forest Service buildings and facilities in the Cariboo. Ray retired from the Forest Service in the early 1980’s, and because of his love of boating, he and Shirley embarked on many, many adventures with their sailboat, that took them up and down the coast of B.C., Alaska, the Great Lakes in Ontario, down the Mississippi, Florida and the Bahamas. We will miss his wit, energy, wise words, and he was always there to lend a hand for friends and family. He leaves his wife of 59 years Shirley; daughter Donna Williams (Jim Siwek); grandchildren: Calvin Williams, Lindsey Martens, Jesse Siwek, Sierra Siwek and great grandchild Silas. Ray was predeceased by his son David. At Ray’s request there will be no service. The family invites friends and family to an open house tea, Saturday, August 2nd at Ray’s 150 Mile home, between 1-4 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or the charity of your choice. We hope you are back at the helm “Pup”, sailing across that great starry universe!
