All School District 27 schools will remain closed until further notice unless there is a resolution soon to the teacher dispute. “As we near our regular school startup time there is much uncertainty as to whether we will be able to start on time,” Superintendent Mark Thiessen said in his report to parents Wednesday. “While we remain hopeful that a negotiated provincial settlement can be reached before school for students is supposed
to begin on Wednesday, Sept. 3, we have no way of knowing if this will be the case.” As of Wednesday, Thiessen said local schools are back behind picket lines. As long as the dispute continues he said most programs will not be running in the district. This includes the StrongStart programs, before and afterschool daycares, and community use of schools. However, he said the full-day
daycares that occupy space in school facilities will continue to operate if they did so during the last two weeks of June. He asks parents who have questions regarding their particular full-day daycare provider to confirm the status of the daycare. For more information check out the School District 27 website at www.sd27.bc.ca. “If a provincial agreement is reached or there is other emergent news, we will inform par-
Maybe this is the year for a
ents about the status of schools as quickly as we can through our website and local media outlet,” Thiessen says. For other updates check out www.bcpsea.bc.ca and www. bctf.ca “This has been a very difficult time for everyone involved,” Thiessen says. “We thank you for your continued patience and will continue to do our best to keep you informed in a timely manner.”

Ellen, who said she achieved a 97.8 or 97.9 per cent average, is off to the University of Northern B.C. to pursue a Bachelor of Nursing Degree. She also received a full scholarship for tuition from UNBC. Lord Dufferin, Canada’s third Governor General after Confederation, created the Academic Medals in 1873 to encourage academic excellence across Canada. Over the years, the bronze medals, one of which Ellen holds here, have become the most prestigious award that students in Canadian schools can receive.

Educators brush up on teaching skills Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Local educators were reminded how hard it can be to decipher poetry during a summer institute held in Williams Lake at Thomson Rivers University this week. For two days more than 90 teachers and administrators were immersed in tools to help students with literacy comprehension under the leadership of workshop facilitator Debbie Miller. “We’ve been remembering how hard it is to analyze a poem,” Miller said. “I’m here giving them some ideas for literacy comprehension.” On Wednesday after-
noon participants had spent time looking at the Rich Lizard, a poem by Deborah Chandra. In the poem, the lizard sheds its skin of silver coins and warms his blood to grander things. When it was her turn to talk about the poem, teacher Diana Kershaw chuckled and said in her younger days a lizard was someone who hung out in lounges. “I had to realize that my older process of thinking could stop me from going forward,” she explained. One of the summer institute organizers, Lori Kelly, said the exercise was a reminder that the end isn’t always important, but what’s done to get there.
“Debbie’s been reminding us about that,” Kelly said. During the opening session Tuesday, the
group made manifestos for students and staff. “In ours we said we wanted to be a risktaking place that was
willing to fail,” institute organizer and teacher Tanis Stewart said. “We also said we wanted to be authentic and
learn about real world activities. Students today are so savvy and knowledgeable, we have to be.” Aside from Williams Lake and its outlying district, teachers and administrators also came from Port Hardy, the Nechako School District, Prince George, Quesnel and Kamloops. There were also vendors from Vancouver and Salmon Arm. “The community is always very supportive of us,” Stewart said. “They give us donations for door prizes.” Frances Bisaro, also part of the organizing committee, said the institute is always a great way to rev up for the new school year.
mediated talks proceed was put to B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker by Education Minister Peter Fassbender and government negotiator
Peter Cameron. There was no deal between the two sides by press deadline but both sides said progress was made in the 90-minute meeting Wednesday
afternoon and mediator Vince Ready was to begin exploratory talks Thursday. The BCTF has not yet responded to the proposal but Iker indi-

AN APPLE A DAY...
The banning of smoking in public places is starting to see positive changes in many areas of healthcare. One benefit is a 10% drop in the rates of pre-term births and childhood asthma where smoking bans have been initiated. Unfortunately, only 16% of the people of the world are covered by these non-smoking laws and 40% of the world’s children are still exposed to second-hand smoke. A peptic ulcer is a breakdown in the protective lining of the stomach or part of the small intestine. In the “old days” prior to the 1970s, treatment consisted of dietary changes, lots of antacids and possibly even an operation. Today we know that most peptic ulcers are caused by the bacterium, H. Pylori. It infects 1 in 4 people but most don’t get an ulcer Those that do can be treated with antibiotics and a powerful acid-reducer. No more bland diets or surgery today! Pharmacists are asked about the benefits of eating garlic or supplements to help certain ailments. It has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years in India, China and Egypt. The current scientific evidence says it may possibly be effective for reducing high blood pressure, keeping arteries healthy, reducing the risk of colon, rectal and stomach cancer (if eaten raw). It is unlikely to help those with diabetes, peptic ulcers, high cholesterol or preventing breast cancer. Some people say that garlic helps prevent the common cold. If it works for you, that’s great. There is not a lot of high quality evidence that this is so but the side effects are minimal if you take it. Our pharmacists can add a balanced perspective to many of the popular herbal treatments. There’s a lot of hype out there. We can add some common sense to it all. Consult your doctor, too.

Jamie Haller launches civil suit Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A Williams Lake First Nations woman who suffered injuries while in police custody three years ago has filed a civil claim against three RCMP officers and the City of Williams Lake as the employer responsible for police conduct. Jamie Haller, who will turn 20 next week, filed a notice of civil claim in Supreme
Court of British Columbia in Vancouver on Monday, Aug. 25. She is seeking relief for general and special damages, punitive, aggravated and exemplary damages, compensation and costs. “The plaintiff claims for battery, wrongful arrest, malicious prosecution, misfeasance in public office, a breach of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms,” the notice of claim states.
“The plaintiff also claims for failure to protect and failure to investigate her reports to police.” Originally a charge of assault was made against Williams Lake RCMP Const. Andy Yung. The case was heard in Williams Lake provincial court for three days in January 2013 and resulted in Yung being acquitted. Originally the BC Civil Liberties Asso-

September 3 will be a “half ” day for students (two and one half hour morning session only) and buses will run following the morning session. Each school will begin the day at the normally scheduled time – only the dismissal times are being amended.
ciation called for an independent investigation of the incident and filed a complaint against the RCMP under the Police Act. In a press release Tuesday, Aug. 26, BCCLA executive director Josh Paterson said First Nations people in this province are over policed and under-protected by law enforcement. “Jamie Haller’s arrest, and her treatment by police, are just an-
other terrible example of that,” Paterson said. Williams Lake RCMP Sgt. Rick Lebeuf said he could not comment on the case, but confirmed that Yung and Const. Daniel Hay, also named in the civil claim, have relocated to work at other RCMP detachments. “The City has no comment on the matter at this time,” said Ken MacInnis, communications co-ordinator.
RCMP issue new scam alert At least two people in Williams Lake have reported that they have recently received phone calls or e-mails from people trying to get money or banking information from them. Fortunately they realized in time that the call was likely a scam. RCMP in Prince George also report that another scam is being operated in the region by fraudsters claiming to be a family member or a close friend of a family member and advising the potential victim about an urgent situation that requires immediate funds. Prince George Cpl. D.J. (Dave) Tyreman said common themes have been that the family member was arrested or got into an accident while travelling abroad. Thus fees are required for hospital expenses, or bail. Since 2009, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre has received 17,132 emergency scam complaints accounting for more than 24 million dollars in reported losses. The average loss per victim was $3,743.07. Of the 17,132 complaints there were 11,889 emergency scam occurrences reported by Canadians. Know how to protect yourself. Confirm with other relatives the whereabouts of the family member or friend. Police, judges or legal entities will never request that money be
sent through money service business such as Western Union or MoneyGram. Never voluntarily give out family members names or information to unknown callers. Always question urgent requests for money. Ollie Martens says she was in the middle of making a dozen pies when she received a call from someone claiming to be from a publishing company saying she had won some money and asking her for information on how to deliver the money. She said the scammer asked for her mother’s maiden name, and gave it, but fortunately twigged to the scam when they asked for her bank number. Martens said she normally would have recognized a scam a lot sooner and told the caller to get lost, but being preoccupied with her project she wasn’t as on her toes to this type of call as she might have been. She cautions others not to let their guards down. “It’s the principle of the thing,” Martens said. “It just irritates me that people will try to take money from you by trying to get your bank information or use your grandchildren to get money. We know our children and grandchildren.” Please consult the following website for more details: http:// www.antifraudcentrecentreantifraude.ca/ english/home.html.

Teachers in Williams Lake move the picket line to Herb Gardner Park and Oliver Street in downtown Williams Lake Thursday morning. There are approximately 360 teachers in School District 27 and 60 teachers on call. As of press time Thursday a deal had not been reached between the B.C.

Teachers will picket again at the same location today, Aug. 29, if no deal has been reached. court ruling on class size and composition, now under appeal by the province. He said that would leave the issue — potentially a liability of nearly $250 million a year for the province — to the court appeal. Fassbender said setting aside the
grievances isn’t a precondition for mediation but said he believed doing so would allow focused talks on the key issues — wages, class size and composition — and potentially get the sides into the settlement zone Ready requires. Fassbender insist-
ed government won’t legislate an end to the dispute. “Legislation has been the pattern in the past and it has not resulted in stability. It has actually created uncertainty and instability and that’s why we are not prepared to do it.” B.C. School Trust-
ees Association president Teresa Rezansoff called on both sides to move from their positions to put students first and ensure schools open Tuesday. She said the BCTF compensation demand must come closer to what other public sector unions
have accepted and the government should plow strike savings into schools rather than redirecting it to parents. “The money for the proposed $40-aday subsidy for parents would be better spent on students in schools,” Rezansoff said in an open letter.

Flip switch on cell phones Before jumping all over ICBC for requesting an increase of 5.2 per cent for basic insurance, let’s look at their reasons for the request. Claims are up — way up — from five years ago. Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 million from five years earlier. That’s 33 per cent higher than five years ago. Legal and medical costs are also up. And what has happened in the past five years? Technology. The ever-growing use of cellphones and other personal electronic devices by drivers is a major factor cited for the rise in injury claims. But why should those of us without cell phones pay more because of the irresponsibility of some of those with them? Perhaps it’s time for ICBC to start awarding further reductions to those who do not have cell phones, or those who do not use them in their cars. Of course, something like that would be near impossible to moni-
tor. The real solution is for the automotive industry to jump in and rectify the situation. Here’s how. Install a mechanism in the motor of the car that renders smartphones, laptops and other such instrumentation useless, while the engine is engaged. Impossible? Hardly. After all, you can turn on the lights of your Courtenay house from your hotel room in Victoria now. A disengage switch for smartphones et al should be a breeze. Too “Big Brother” for you? Don’t consider it “Big Brother”; consider it improvement to vehicle safety for the good of all. Remember, seatbelts used to be optional; as did motorcycle helmets. Plenty of people protested those laws as well. But we eventually got over it. Heaven forbid that we should be forced to drive without the use of a phone, or a laptop, or a DVD player. That’s so 1990. And what did car insurance cost in 1990? - Black Press

No net needed for bluebirds and butterflies Of course, Canadians are happy people, aren’t they? Out of 156 countries ‘tested,’ Canada comes up sixth — one of the happiest nations on the planet! Yet in spite of a broad stream of references to “fun” in our lives, happiness seems to be more and more scarce. How do we hold onto the ‘butterfly kiss’ of delight, or keep the ‘bluebird of happiness’ from flying away? Books on “how to be happy” have multiplied like fruit flies. Should we shop? Eat more? Do more? Less? Plan a vacation? Our present age could easily be labelled “The Age of Acquisition.” “I want” bombards my ears so often that perhaps what “I need” exists already. And we are still unhappy. Where have the bluebirds and butterflies gone?

Living out Loud
with Rita Corbett
If I went looking, where would I find bliss? I want a gladness I can keep — a pleasure to preserve. Not a hole in my net. Perhaps I should just smile. A smile changes our brain chemistry. And a ‘thankfulness list’ can lift our spirits. But is that happiness?
That perverse topic operates backwards at the best of times. As Vaillant said, “Happiness isn’t about me.” It never is. Happiness is one tough-to-handle substance! It needs to be on the move if it is going to exist. Held closely, happiness is toxic. But when passed around, it grows and gathers fragrance. Want to grab joy? Hand it grandly to someone else. Perhaps with our statistics, the whole world will soon be moving to Canada. But if folk come to Williams Lake seeking happiness, they won’t find it. It does exist in this area, however — well camouflaged and shyly concealed.
Happiness is reclusive; it lives in the unhappiest of places. Happiness hides its colour and lightness among the unfortunate and downtrodden. It can be found in a home full of sick children and laundry. Its delight is buried deeply behind mountains of work. It lurks in the shadows of filthy, unsuccessful, old, smelly, lonely, frightened and wicked places. Those unhappy places hold the most happiness; they are where happiness is caught. Misery is the net. You want to be happy? Then “Be unhappy,” I say. Be unhappy if you haven’t helped someone lately. Be unhappy if you have no purpose outside yourself. Be unhappy, really unhappy until a place to contribute and meet a need is claimed as your own.
Two miserable women came separately into my office one day. Lots of things had gone wrong. Life offered them no quick fixes, and maybe no tangible hope at all. Both of them had their nets out, seeking the chirping of those gleeful birds and the touch of butterflies that kept escaping. Their take-home assignment was to find someone who was struggling and offer to help. Then the two women were introduced to each other. Their focus improved, their troubles faded, and after a while, the bluebirds and butterflies reappeared, unbidden. Happiness is captured in someone else’s need. Then bluebirds and butterflies will be everywhere. No net needed. LOL@wltribune.com. Rita Corbett is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Advisor.

Ruts in road to farmland changes The month-long Agricultural Land Commission consultation closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. government is compiling the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invitation to comment. I can’t tell you much about the official input. The consultation sessions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the submissions via website are also not public. I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was travelling around B.C. with his camper van, conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much either, except that a summary of the findings should be made public in September as the government considers new regulations. The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on farmland. Also under consideration is allowing breweries and distilleries, as wine and cider production are now allowed, and relaxing rules to permit more off-farm products to be sold from farms. Letnick defended the 30-day summer consultation as adequate. It’s based on 11 questions developed with staff, farm groups and local government. He’s also not counting how many emails were stacked up by proponents or critics. “I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m

trying to do is come up with the best balance of recommendations to make to government that can hold their own based on the idea and the potential positive and negative consequences.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham was more forthcoming. She was invited to the formal sessions, and also won’t talk about them directly. But she’s not backing away from her criticisms. The government is proposing to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for several kinds of decisions, including subdivision for family use or into properties of 160 acres or more. “I think the general idea was that people trust the ALC to make that decision, and it should still go through the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commission has been making those decisions anyway, and I think they’ve been quite fair when somebody applies.” She said farmers also aren’t sold on the notion of easing the rules for secondary businesses.
“You will already find situations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or something like that attached to somebody’s residence who lives on ALR land,” Popham said. “That sort of stuff has been allowed, but it’s always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. This leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.” She noted that non-farm activities have a way of growing until they become the main business. A reader who attended the
Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He said “not one” participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity such as food processing or retailing. And he agreed with Popham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications. Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a win-
ery, and the conversion needed only local government approval because the production facility was already considered and taxed as light industrial. Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland. Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Forest sustainability an environmental dead-end without biodiversity B.C.’s forests are doing better than many areas but there is always room for improvement. Tony Kryzanowski (June/July 2014 issue of the Logging and Sawmilling Journal) reported some interesting findings about forest biodiversity. A recent report from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization was warning about monoculture reforestation in China, India and Vietnam. Many of the forests in these areas are planted with single species for commercial purposes, mainly palm oil and rubber plantations. This practice has been blamed for a four-year drought in this traditionally rain-rich area because these species use much more water than the native species. There are similar practices in New Zealand, Sweden, Brazil and some parts of the USA. Most of the privately held forest lands plant intensively managed monocultures like radiate pine, yellow pine and eucalyptus. Tony’s article ends with this
Forest Ink Jim Hilton warning: “We have to be extremely careful in the management of our crown forest resources to ensure that biodiversity is maintained and that we are not turning what would naturally have been a mixed forest into coniferous monocultures strictly for financial gain.” As part of the ongoing discussions on the Williams Lake Timber Supply Area (TSA) it would appear that our silviculture practices will lead to a greater biodiversity than the monocultures mentioned above. Figure one of the Williams Lake TSA discussion paper shows the parks in and surrounding the TSA along with the following summary. The TSA covers about 4.93 mil-
lion hectares, of which approximately 66 per cent — 3,238,188 hectares — is Crown forest land base (CFLB). About 1,408,272 hectares of the TSA are in reserves for old growth, wildlife habitat, wildlife tree patches or riparian areas, in areas of environmental sensitivity or low productivity, non-merchantable forest types, or for other reasons are unavailable for timber harvesting. About 56 per cent of the CFLB, or 37 per cent of the total TSA area, comprise the current timber harvesting land base (THLB) of 1,829,922 hectares. Figure two shows the main commercial forest species consist of 64 per cent pine, 15 per cent Douglas fir, nine per cent spruce and minor amounts of balsam, cedar and hemlock. Biodiversity should be maintained since a good portion of our forests are not in the THLB and therefore not destined for harvesting and any associated manipulation of the natural stand structure. For example, the reduction of
the deciduous hardwoods in favour of the more marketable softwoods like pine, fir and spruce sawlogs for lumber. Our silviculure practices also recognize the diverse ecological sites and attempt to plant trees that replicate the original species. Past and present silviculture practices will have some impact on the commercial species on some sites within the THLB. For example, we have traditionally favored lodgepole pine trees in many areas and planted a disproportionate amount in some areas. We have also tried to reduce competition from deciduous species using herbicides, mechanical control and in some cases use of animals which will give the conifers an advantage at establishment. The greatest impact of our management practices on the THLB will likely be the change in age class structure resulting in a much greater percentage of younger trees after our first rotation. This has a number of people concerned since some of the old-
est and largest trees have been growing on the better sites that are mostly found in the THLB. This can have an influence on biodiversity in that many plant and animal species change as the age of a stand becomes much older. In conclusion, our forest practices are much different from monoculture practices mentioned above. While our practices are not likely to result in anything that resembles a monoculture we may be over treating some stands to reduce hardwood competition. It is always a good idea to continually examine our forest practices in light of new research and potential markets and keep in mind the original stand structure may be the most logical choice in the long run.

Now retired, Hilton still volunteers his skills with local community forests organizations.

B.C. inspector of mines updated the public Tuesday about the efforts to remediate the Aug. 4 Mount Polley Mine tailings breach. Speaking to a crowded Likely Community Hall, Al Hoffman said crews have started building a dike upstream of the breach and have completed about 64 per cent of its construction, which is anticipated to be completed by the middle of September. The dike is a large rock structure and the objective is to prevent any more tailings from flowing out of the breach. A satellite dam is also being constructed adjacent to the dike,
which Imperials Metals vice president of corporate affairs Steve Robertson said is actually a ramp going down into the tailings impoundment. “We want to go down and dig a sump (pump) down there and intersect that water and get it pumped back into the mine so it’s contained and doesn’t get released into the environment.” After the tailings breach a plug formed in front of Polley Lake causing the lake level to rise by 1.7 metres. Water is being pumped out, bringing the level down about one centimetre a day. Several residents sugested the lake should be left alone, however, Robertson said there’s concern because of the heavy rains that the re-

Energy and Mines chief inspector Al Hoffman talks with residents in Likely Tuesday evening about plans for remediating the tailings pond spill at Mount Polley Mine. gion has been receiving. “We were pumping at 11,000 gallons a minute and didn’t gain anything because of the rain that came through yesterday,” Robertson said Thursday. And because crews are working down stream in Hazeltine Creek, there would be a human health hazard if there was a sudden flow of water and debris. “We have had no life lost through this and we don’t want to lose anybody,” Stevenson added. The investigation into the tailings pond breach only got under-
way this week, Hoffman told the crowd. “We started the process in earnest in the last few days.” Construction of the tailings storage facility first began more than 20 years ago so staff is looking at old documents, interviewing a number of people on the mine site and externally from the mine site, he explained. The last geo-technicial inspection of the mine was done in September 2013 and no concerns were noted at the time, Hoffman said. In the meantime, Hoffman has ordered that all tailings dams be inspected by an in-
dependent third party and must be completed by December to try to ensure there are no other dam failures. While WorkSafeBC looks after other industries, the ministry is responsible for mine health and safety, he added. The ministry is also responsible for permitting mine sites and part of that responsibility includes the review of tailing dam designs and operations. “We will be looking into any contraventions of the Mines Act or what’s called the health and safety reclamation code for mines,” he said.

Biologist explains problem with mine tailings Sage Birchwater Special to Tribune/Advisor It has been three weeks since the Mount Polley Mine tailings pond spill and at least one fisheries biologist working in the region is concerned about the long-term impact of leaving the tailings sludge in Hazeltine Creek. Paddy Smith explains that when rock
containing heavy metals and toxic chemicals gets ground up into talcum powder then dumped into the environment, bad things happen. Smith, who has worked in the Mount Polley area for 15 years, is worried about the long-term effect of bad chemicals getting cycled in the biosystems. He says the toxicity
entering the environment increases exponentially as the fine particles of poisons and heavy metals are brought face to face with the natural systems. It is the same process as with pesticides, he says. The toxins get more and more concentrated as they go further up the food chain. Contaminated mi-
crobes get ingested by insects that get eaten by fish which are consumed by eagles, osprey, waterfowl and furbearers. Smith insists that a proper cleanup of Hazeltine Creek is paramount. “There’s millions of tons of stuff on either side of Hazeltine that could be trucked back into the tailings facility. There’s 12 years of

Gibson says. “And you know what happens in November? ... Snow.” Some people living in the Likely area are also suggesting that because the spill has been declared a disaster, the Canadian army should be brought in to help clean up the tailings sludge in Hazeltine Creek.

mining sludge available to the biology now because it’s ground up so fine.” He said there is only a narrow window of opportunity to remove the debris along Hazeltine Creek before the snow and rains come, and the cleanup has to be done right. “You still can’t eat the fish in Jack of Clubs Lake in Wells because of the build up of heavy metals like mercury from the mine tailings residue,” Smith said. He said one reason for inaction in cleaning up Hazeltine Creek is fear of a second breach down Hazeltine Creek from Polley Lake which is a metre-and-a-half higher than normal after the tailings dam breach plugged the outflow and poured millons of litres of effluent into the lake. This is a real concern. Water is being pumped out of the lake slowly but not as quickly as Smith figures it could be. “They could bring power in from the mine and use bigger pumps to take Polley Lake

While attempts to mitigate the Mount Polley tailings breach continue to unfold, Likely residents have been told Imperial Metals will provide water filters and installation free of charge for people who get their water from Quesnel Lake.
local news
“There is quite a bit of concern in the community about total suspended solids in the water,” said Steve Robertson, company vice-president of corporate affairs. On Tuesday evening during a public meeting hosted by government officials at the Likely community hall many people asked for the filters. They said with winter only a few short months away it would not be practical to continue with the short-term measure now in place, which is to collect bottled water at the Spanish Mountain Gold camp located six kilometres away from the town site.

Speculation abounds on municipal election candidates There are two-and-ahalf months before the municipalities, regional districts and school boards in British Columbia go to election. Here in Williams Lake we could have as many as three candidates running for the mayor’s job and I hear so many names popping up for those wishing to run as a councillor. In the top job in Williams Lake, Mayor Kerry Cook will run for the position once again and

her opposition will be current 21-year councillor Surinderpal Rathor. There is also the persistent gossip that former councillor, mayor and MLA Walt Cobb will once again throw
his hat in the ring. Cobb and Rathor — either one could give current Mayor Kerry Cook a good run if there were only two hats thrown into the mayoralty ring. In the last election, Walt Cobb and Scott Nelson split the vote allowing Cook to come up the middle and pick up a win. There are many stories floating around the community on who will run for councillor positions this term.

Here’s some of the names that have been passed on to me in political conversations. Scott Nelson, Jason Ryll, Craig Smith, Peter Bowman, Bobbi Jo Macnair, Wayne Lucier and some of those already on council, like Ivan Bonnell, Laurie Walters and Sue Zacharias. Danica Hughes and Surinder Rathor will not be running. What will be the issues that will drive this election? Would it be the econ-
omy of the community, including our debt? It may be taxes. Ours have increased considerably. Perhaps it may be the overall management of city affairs. Did the city manage the Don DeGagne hiring and firing episode last year in a proper manner, or is this one going to cost the taxpayers a bundle of dollars? The city has had three administrators in the last term of council.
Maybe crime and fire protection will also be topics of discussion during this election. There are some folks in our town that want to throw out the council completely along with the mayor. They apparently will be making some noise coming closer to election time. There does not appear to be a lot of discussion regarding school board and regional district elections at this point, although I have heard that Ted
Armstrong of Quesnel may be challenged. I do know that Steve Forseth, alternate director of the CRD, will be running for a position this fall as the current director is stepping down. Lots of rumours and many folks coming out of the woodwork for the 2014 civic elections in Williams Lake and area. Stay Tuned. Ken Wilson is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Weekend Advisor.

“Time does not heal all wounds” You’ve suffered hurts and wounds in your life, and you hope that, given enough time, the pain will go away. You’ve heard the old saying, “Time heals all wounds.” But does it? I wish it were so. The truth, however, is that “Time heals all wounds” is only halfway true. It may have some validity in best-case scenarios, but not when it really counts. Here’s what I mean: Let’s say a stranger is rude to you, and after a few days (or less) you forget all about it. Or, someone is late to a meeting with you and you say, “No biggie” and move on. Time heals small wounds. Let’s take it up a notch, though: Someone you’ve known and trusted for years betrays that trust… A family member cuts you down and makes you feel like child again, even though you’re 20, 30, 40… An organization that you’ve given heart and soul for doesn’t come through for you when you need it most. “No biggie?” No way! Time alone does not heal wounds as big as these. That’s because not all wounds are the same. The wounds that hurt the most and leave lasting scars are the ones that come from the people we care most about, the ones we trust, the ones we depend on. If you’re one of the many walking wounded who know pain like this, you also know that it doesn’t just go away with time. In the physical world, scratches and small cuts go away with time. God has designed the human body with an amazing capacity for self-repair. But not all wounds are the same. Try applying the “Time heals” idea to
PARSONS PEN
BY Chris harder something like a raging infection, a compound fracture, or cancer. Leaving those things alone and letting time do its thing could be devastating. The same is true in our emotional lives. Time alone doesn’t always heal. Sometimes it just gives the problem time to fester, burrow deeper, or spread. I have spoken with many people who are walking with a limp from old emotional wounds they have suffered. Some of those wounds are years, even decades old, but the pain is as real as yesterday when they remember that pain-filled day, or hear the name of the one who hurt them. When the old wound gets poked, they still flinch. The wound has not healed. Where does real healing come from when the hurt simply doesn’t heal with time? Forgiveness. You may sputter in protest,“Am I just
supposed to say everything’s OK??” Not at all. Let’s clear up some things about forgiveness so that you can enjoy the healing it brings. Here are Five Things About Forgiveness that will set you free, borrowed from Lewis Smedes. 1. Forgiving is the only way to be fair to yourself after someone hurts you. When you refuse to forgive, you are giving the person who hurt you once the chance to hurt you all over again— in your memory. The first person to benefit from forgiving is the forgiver. 2. Forgivers are not doormats; they do not have to tolerate the bad things that they forgive. Jesus forgave sins, but then said, “Stop sinning.” 3. Forgivers are not fools; they forgive, but they do not have to go back for more abuse. Forgiveness opens the door to restored relationship; true reconciliation can take place only when the offender is also willing to take steps to make things right. 4. You don’t have to wait until they’re sorry. You may wait forever! Why put your future happiness in the hands of the person who made you unhappy in the first place? You can forgive today. 5. Forgiving is a journey. God can forgive instantly, but for us it takes time, so be patient and don’t get discouraged if you have to do it more than once. What is forgiveness? It is a decision, not a feeling. The feeling, and the forgetting, come with time. Forgiveness is choosing to let go of the right to get even, and letting God handle justice on your behalf. Forgive and be free.

Horsefly celebrates fall and names citizens of the year Bruce MacLeod Special to Tribune/Advisor This year’s 39th annual Horsefly Fall Fair was well represented with competitors and a vast array of absolutely fantastic produce, art, floral arrangements, canning and baking entrees, photography, and livestock, but down con-
siderably in attendance from the community. Terry McLellan won the high aggregate award while Sharon Godfrey was the runner up, with many ribbons going to other entrants. The Horsefly Citizen of the Year award was a tie, with husband and wife team of Lou and Jack Bigg being rec-
ognized for their work as volunteers with the Horsefly Fire Department’s First Response team and many other helping hand activities in our community. Nora Mark was recognized for her contribution to the Horsefly Seniors Activity and Wellness Society. The honorees received plaques from
the Horsefly Community Hall presented by John Hollan. In other news the Horsefly community is getting ready for two salmon celebrations. We were very pleased to receive a poster announcing that First Nations people are hosting a traditional powwow to honour the return of the sockeye on Sept. 6 and 7. Horsefly is also preparing for its annual Rivers Day Salmon Festival on Sept. 27 and 28. Plans are well in hand for an excellent weekend. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is estimating the Horsefly run to be approximately 600,000 sockeye, so this may well be the best run in a while, so bring the kids and come and enjoy nature’s bounty.
Sandy McNie and Robbie Campbell delivered the prizes during the Horsefly Fall Fair last Saturday.

International Literacy Day coming up Melody Newcombe Special to Tribune/Advisor Sept. 8 is International Literacy Day. The United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organizations goal is to remind everyone of the importance of literacy and adult learning globally. CaribooChilcotin Partners for Literacy asks everyone to celebrate this day with your family and friends by learning something new together. Remember that learning happens all the time. You may ask why and how does this concern me? In today’s world our community is now linked in so many ways to the larger global community. We need to keep our literacy skills high and continue to learn so that we understand how the world around us affects our daily lives. With the political unrest in the Middle East, what will happen with oil and gas
prices. How will that affect our Canadian dollar? How will this affect our jobs? With strong literacy skills we will be better prepared for world events that may seem so far away from us but definitely have strong impacts on our lives. In a more practical sense in our daily lives with higher literacy skills we make better choices. We are able to understand our mon-
ey, make healthy lifestyle choices, eat better and have more joy in our lives. With higher literacy skills you will have greater success in finding work that you enjoy. You will be better prepared to handle change, stress and all the things that happen in our lives. Every day there is an opportunity to learn something new. We need to think of literacy and learning as moving tar-
gets, making an effort to continue to learn throughout our lives. Try a new recipe, read a book, pick up the local Williams Lake Tribune newspaper, read with your children, start a book club. By learning with your children you will create a closer bond with them. With continued learning we become better parents, employers, employees, friends and have a much fuller richer life.
So this September 8 on International Literacy Day celebrate with your friends and family by learning something new together. Cariboo-Chilcotin Partners for Literacy offers free programs and services to help people in the South Cariboo reach their learning goals. Check out www.caribooliteracy.com or call Mel at 250-945-4199 for more information.

Tips from The CrD
Brittany Gathering double celebration The 22nd annual Brittany Gathering at Henry’s Crossing brought people together from near and far to celebrate the return of the salmon and the recent Supreme Court decision that declared aboriginal title to a vast tract of land in the Chilcotin. Union of BC Indian Chiefs Grand Chief Stewart Phillip addressed the gathering held Aug. 19 to 21. A Nuxalk youth dance troop from Bella Coola performed mask dances to honour the occasion. Lahal games, a horseshoe tournament, moccasin races, a talent night, and fishing in the river were enjoyed by young and old. Many concerns were expressed about the recent Mount Polley Mine breach and how it is impacting the Fraser River system.
Former Xeni Gwet’in chief and now band councillor Marilyn Baptiste stated that every time a fish is caught and shared with the families, it helps the earth to heal. “A year ago the mining industry told us a breach like this would never occur. But it did,” Baptiste said. Xeni Gwet’in councillor, Loretta Williams said she is trying to get informed about the effects of the Mount Polley spill on Chilcotin salmon. “Some of our people have kept on fishing in spite of it, but I’ve chosen not to fish at all. Right now I’m very proud to be driving on titled lands. I told my son, Preston, you can build your house anywhere you choose.” ?Esdilagh Chief Bernie Mack said it was a good day to celebrate. “We have to accept the fine balance and live in the moment.
The price to get our land was not cheap, but you can live and taste this moment today.” He said a lot of other countries around the globe are watching the Tsilhqot’in decision. “What you’ve done here impacts the world,” Mack said.
“We’re the meat of the sandwich. Government and industry have to work with us, but what comes with the lands is the responsibility to look after them.” Speaking to the Tsilhqot’in youth, Mack said the community needs biologists, engineers and
regulators. “We need youth to get an education.” Yunesit’in Chief Russell Myers-Ross said he is wondering what the next step might be following the Supreme Court decision. See LEADERS Page A20

“The stakes are high for both sides. This land is here for us and we need to make a transition plan. We want to do a better job of managing the land than the Crown has done. We have a better vision.” Tsi Deldel Chief Percy Guichon said it was the knowledge of the elders that made the Supreme Court decision possible. “The chiefs before us wanted the same things 100 years ago that we want today. The court decision gives First Nations pride. For the first time ever we’re going to the table with government as equals. Things are going to be done differently now. We want to coexist and benefit from each other.” Tl’esqox Chief Francis Laceese encouraged the youth to learn the Tsilhqot’in ways. “Use what you need from the river. The only way government and industry will know
who we are is if we move forward together.” Grand Chief Stewart Phillip commented that many of the Tsilhqot’in drummers who took part in the ceremony to open the gathering were toddlers. “I heard those same songs right across the country and in front of the Supreme Court of Canada. The Tsilhqot’in people are generously sharing these songs.” Chief Stewart reflected on the excitement at the moment when the Supreme Court decision was announced. “It was at 6 a.m. on June 27 in Vancouver. It was magical, electric, amazing. I was shocked speechless. We all leaped out of our chairs so ecstatic and elated. So happy that the highest court in the land recognized our right to title. I thank the Tsilhqot’in on behalf of my 14 grand-
children. The path in front of us is clear.” Chief Stewart reflected that a rising tide carries all boats. “Everyone will prosper and benefit,” Chief Stewart predicted. “It’s going to take a lot of hard work. Government and business will have to be convinced to obey the rule of law.” Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William noted that 26 elders testified in court for the land title case. “Nine are not with us now,” William added. During the opening ceremony, Chief William explained the significance of the songs. “The Salmon Boy song teaches about the four-year cycle of the salmon,” Chief William said. “The loon song tells about the deal the loon made with the hunter/warrior to get his sight back. The Supreme Court case is like us getting our sight back.”

Liz Twan Special to Tribune/Advisor This year the new agricultural program being developed for Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake will be the benefactor of funds raised at the annual Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association Beef Benefit Bonanza in May. Normally the funds raised are ear-marked for a registered society, but this year the directors decided the funds would be best spent supporting the new agricultural program currently being planned and developed at TRU. A locally available agricultural program would lessen postsecondary education costs for local youth and adults wishing to further, or upgrade their education in the field of agriculture by allowing them to remain near home.
Beef Bonanza held at The Point Restaurant banquet room May 6 was tremendous as many local businesses contributed door prizes, cut flowers and more for the event.

“It was a pretty steady [game],” said Linda Barbondy, Williams Lake Slo-Pitch League president and captain of the Rowdies. Tied 0-0 in the third inning, the Rowdies exploded for a fourrun inning, followed by another five-run inning. Down 11-0 in the sixth
inning the Rookies, however, proved they weren’t about to lay down. “They had a couple good hits and one over the fence,” Barbondy said, adding the Rookies scored seven runs in the sixth inning. The Rowdies beat the Rookies earlier in the tournament, sending them to the bottom half
of the draw, where the Rookies upset the Lakers to advance to the final. In the ‘B’ division it was the Bears knocking off the Fireballs to claim the title, while the ‘C’ division saw the Beer-OCrats down the NDNZ, 14-8, to win. The ‘D’ division title went to Those Guys, who defeated the Maintainers.

Mountain biker wins Otway Challenge Greg Sabatino Staff Writer A 150 Mile House mountain biker competed up an age division last weekend to win the Prince George Otway Challenge cross-country marathon bike race. Paul Rohner, 16, won the under-20 solo men’s category at the event, completing five laps of the 11-kilometre race course in four hours and 21 minutes.
Paul edged out Prince George’s Cody Strickland, who finished second, by one complete lap. He travelled to Prince George with his dad, Erwin, the day prior to the race to get a sneak peak at the course. “It was not all 100 per cent flagged by the time [we got there] and we rode anyway, so we took some guesses on some intersections, but we managed to guess
correctly for about five kilometres,” Paul said. “We met the race organizer who was working on putting up tape and he sent us in the right direction and we finished our pre run.” Paul said on race day around 60 riders lined up at the starting line for a 10 a.m. start. “It was a good vibe going on … after the first lap, which took me about 48 minutes to complete, things
started to settle in,” he said. “I used a 29inch borrowed hard tail bike which was not that comfortable but fairly light to ride.” That showed after four laps as Paul battled through blisters on his hands, however, he held on for another lap of the course. “It was my first cross country race and I was able to conserve my energy over the four-and-a-half-hour period,” Paul said.

Community Torch Celebration competition are going head-to-head in an online vote to determine which communities will host the 2015 Games Regional Torch Celebrations, as part of the 2015 Games Torch Relay. One community in each region of northern B.C. has the opportunity to host a Canada Winter Games regional torch celebration — in what will be the largest 2015 Games celebration outside of Prince George — leading up to the 2015 Games. Voting is open at www.canadagames2015. ca and ends on Sept. 12, 2014, at 11:59 p.m. “The quality of submissions we received from communities across the region were remarkable,” 2015 Canada Winter Games CEO Stuart Ballantyne said. “Now, it’s up to British Columbians to help decide what communities
will host 2015 Canada Winter Games Regional Community Torch Celebrations.” The finalists in each region are: Northwest — Terrace and New Hazelton Northeast — Fort St. John, Chetwynd, Dawson Creek and Pouce Coupe Central Interior — Williams Lake and Quesnel. The City of Williams Lake has submitted an Expression of Interest to host a celebration, which
would celebrate all of the unique aspects of the area through song, dance and word and would recognize the importance that culture and sport play in the area. The event would feature local cultural groups, performers, and musicians, as well as a free family swim and skate before or after the celebration event. The city has committed $5,000 to the event. Visit www.canadagames2015.ca to learn more about the communities and to vote for a deserving community in one or all three regions. The three successful communities will be announced Sept. 24, 2014, at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities Convention. On Oct. 15, 2014 a national ceremony will be held to light the Canada Games Torch from the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill in Otta-
wa. The Canada Winter Games Flame will then travel across the country to kick off the B.C. leg of the relay in Victoria on Oct. 17, passing through two previous Canada Games Host communities on its way to illuminate the north. On Nov. 4, 2014, 100 days will be left on the countdown clock to the 2015 Canada Winter Games. The northern B.C. route of the torch relay will start in Prince George at the newly renovated Canada Games Plaza and begin to travel throughout northern B.C. The 2015 Canada Winter Games will be the largest multi-sport cultural event to ever be held in Prince George and northern B.C. Athletes from 10 provinces and three territories will compete in 19 sports with the dream of becoming Canada’s next champions.

Dylan Taylor, Bobby Rankin, Patrick Kniec and Justin Hansen, aged 15-17, joined players from Quesnel to compete in the 18-year-old divi-
sion at the tournament — all doing very well, said lakecity soccer coach Brian Hansen. “Despite being the smallest team size-wise

ness of her own so when the opportunity came along to buy the Hardware Store she jumped right in with both feet and is doing an amazing job! Katherine welcomes the opportunity to grow her business, so if there is anything you are looking for, she will do her very best to get it in for you (just ask!) This Fall Kat is planning on starting a Copy, Fax, Print and Laminating area in the store, as well as an Espresso, coffee, and Latte machine (yum, I am looking forward to that). I wish Katherine all the best with her new business adventure. Stop in and say hello to the new owner of Horsefly Hardware 2014 Katherine Rempel! And the second exciting news in Horsefly is a new Yoga Studio, Tyengar Yoga owner Dianne Noort heronrisin@ xplornet.ca or call 250-620-0565. There is space available in September so give her a call. Horsefly Service has been sold, so hopefully I can get some more exciting information on that next month. So until then, Cheers Dianna

LABOUR DAY 2014
For many British Columbians, Labour Day may simply mean the last extended weekend of the summer. It is important to remember it is a day to celebrate working people and the contribution they make to our province and the quality of life we enjoy. The rights that workers have today such as a 40-hour work week, minimum wage, parental leave and paid holidays were hard
fought for in times when labourers had few benefits, no voice and worked in perilous conditions. Many of the protections and
rights that today’s employees have exist because of unions. Labour Day is celebrated on the first Monday of every Sep-
tember and this year on September 2 it will be in a show of solidarity for working people across the country and beyond. The origins of this national holiday are rooted in the history of the Canadian labour movement that began in the time of Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald. From a bold stand by a group of Ontario printers in May of 1872 grew the most important legislature to impact workers in the following century. Union pioneers petitioned their employers for a reduction in the number of hours worked - asking that their workweek be reduced to six, 9-hour days. They formed an organization dubbed the Nine Hours Movement and argued that reducing working
hours would benefit both workers and society as more time would be spent with family and community. Employers scoffed
“THANK YOU TO OUR EMPLOYEES WHO WORK IN THE LOGGING INDUSTRY AND SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY. YOUR COMMITMENTS CANNOT BE MEASURED!”

Enterprises Ltd.
at their claims and rejected their demands. At the time it was a crime to be member of a union in Canada yet in a courageous act of defiance, the Toronto Typographical Union went on strike to secure the nine-hour workday. A parade was held which drew some 10,000 spectators. The workers went on strike. Many lost their job and were forced to relocate. Their employers brought in replacement workers and used this so called ‘conspiracy’ to have 24 members of the movement arrested and jailed. On June 14, 1872 Macdonald passed the Trade Union Act that legalized union activity, freed the workers and endeared him to the working class. The Toronto printers strike paved the way for unions across North America to demand a 54-hour workweek. Canadian trade unionists have ever since, celebrated this day that has been set aside to honor ‘those
who labour.’ The first Labour Day parade was held in Winnipeg in 1894, and was two miles long. Today approximately 30 percent of BC’s workforce is covered by a collective agreement. As Labour Day has evolved it remains a day of celebration, solidarity, speeches and recreation. The issues facing workers have also evolved. Today’s labour unions negotiate on behalf of a changing workforce in an ever-evolving workplace. British Columbians have different challenges to deal with, whether it is recordhigh housing prices, increasing levels of debt and living longer. Minimum wage, overtime, working conditions for farm workers, health and safety and access to affordable day care are all important labour issues. This Labour Day, take a moment to reflect on the history and significance of the day.

LABOUR DAY 2014
MONDAY SEPT 1
This Labour Day, let’s reflect on our accomplishments - and work even harder Mark Hancock President, CUPE BC This Labour Day, let’s reflect on our accomplishments—and work even harder Let’s face it, for most people in our society, the real meaning of Labour Day has faded over the years. It’s now less about acknowledging the role workers have played in building our society, and more about the last long weekend of summer. As union members and leaders, we have an obligation to the generations that came before us—and to future generations—to work harder to teach people the real meaning of Labour Day. It’s about remembering the sacrifices made by the generations that preceded us, and the gains they were able to make that benefit every
worker today, whether unionized or not. Things so many of us take for granted, like the 8-hour day, or the 40-hour week. Weekends! Pensions, medicare, and other important benefits all came about at least in part because of the labour movement. Labour Day is also about recognizing our sisters and brothers around the world who are taking on many of the issues our predecessors faced here, but with even fewer protections or legal rights. In countries like Mexico, for example, labour activists not only face potential criminal charges for advocating for workers’ rights but they actually face death. While we have much work to do here in BC and Canada, we must also recognize how much progress we have
made and share the lessons we’ve learned with working people all around the world. But Labour Day can’t just be about the past, nor can we allow ourselves to be lulled into complacency about our standard of living compared to other countries. While the labour movement and working people have achieved great things here, there are far too many people who have to work not just one or two jobs, but sometimes three or four just to make ends meet. There are too many families who can’t afford childcare, yet need quality care for their children so they can take that hard-to-find fulltime job. Increasingly BC’s economy is coming to depend on temporary foreign workers who are paid less, receive fewer ben-
efits and have fewer rights than Canadians. And still, despite some incremental progress, women are still paid less than men for the same work in far too many cases. And now we see the Harper Conservatives and Christy Clark’s BC Liberals attacking unions and workers’ rights in very much the same fashion as right-wing Republican governments in many American states. CUPE BC’s 85,000 members, and the 625,000 members of CUPE National across the country, are joining with the Canadian Labour Congress to push back against this regressive agenda—not just to protect what generations before us fought and in some cases died for—but to continue to fight for fair wages, good benefits and a solid pension
for our members, and all Canadian workers. So, while Labour Day is a celebration, it’s also
a time to ready ourselves for the struggles ahead. -Mark Hancock is
President of CUPE BC, representing 85,000 workers in communities across BC.

REITA GEORGETTE BARON September 8, 1952 – August 17, 2014
It is with great sadness that the family of Reita Georgette Baron announces her passing on August 17, 2014. Reita’s family and close friend Lester were by her side when she succumbed to a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Born on September 8, 1952 in Kamloops BC to Al and Margaret Hinsche, Reita spent a happy childhood with her four siblings on a ranch on Watch Lake Road near Lone Butte BC. She attended elementary school in Lone Butte and high school in 100 Mile House, BC. In April 1974 Reita married Frank Baron and moved to Likely which she quickly adopted as her new home and enjoyed being an integral part of the community. During Reita’s life she touched the hearts of many friends and associates who will miss her greatly. She worked as secretary/librarian for the Likely School until she moved to Williams Lake in 2006 so Shauna could enroll in high school there. She had an excellent reputation as a bookkeeper and worked for several companies in the Likely and Williams Lake areas. Her hobbies were many and she loved to spend time with nieces, Brityn and Taryn, sharing with them the many crafts she enjoyed. Reita is predeceased by her parents Al and Margaret Hinsche. She is survived by her daughter Shauna Speed, who was the love of her life, and her loving partner of twenty-five years, Norman Speed. Reita will be dearly missed by her sisters Pat Coukell of New Hazelton, BC, and Judy (Mark) Brekke of Kelowna, BC, brothers Lorne (Liz) Hinsche of Williams Lake, BC and George (Dianne) Hinsche of Sheridan Lake, BC. and sister-in-law Barb Jaager of Penticton, BC. Also to mourn her passing is her uncle, Walter (Joanne) Levick, aunt, Evelyn Townie and nieces and nephews Cliff Coukell, Gerald Coukell, Jennifer Walker, Jason Hinsche, Tasha MacDonald and their families and her special little rays of sunshine, nieces Brityn and Taryn Hinsche. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Magnuson for the compassionate care he gave Reita for many years and a very special thank you to the entire staff of Deni House. All of you are amazing and our family will always remember the special time we shared with Reita there.
