Superintendent of Schools Mark Thiessen confirmed yesterday what many expected — schools in the district are closed today and will remain that way indefinately. “Unfortunately, (today) will not be the first day of classes for our students,” Thiessen said in an information bulletin for parents. “We are all hopeful that schools will be up and running soon, but

at this time, we are unsure when classes will resume.” Thiessen said schools will remain closed for the duration of the labour dispute and asks that families not send their children to school, which was scheduled to resume today, Wednesday, June 3. Principals and vice principals will be in schools however should parents have any questions, but they will not be able to offer supervision or instruction. As well as there being no school, most programs will not be running in district schools such as all

StrongStart programs, before and after-school daycares or use by community user groups. Full-day daycares which lease space in schools will continue to operate if they did so during the last two weeks of June. Parents can now register for Temporary Education Support for Parents from the BC Ministry of Finance at http://bcparentinfo.ca/ parent-support-resources/. Thiessen said parents may receive $40 for each student 12 years old and under attending B.C. public schools for each day the student

is not in school as a result of the labour disruption. Veteran mediator Vince Ready walked away from exploratory negotiations Saturday, saying the two sides were at “an impasse” and simply too far apart – particularly on wages and benefits – for mediation to be productive. B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker said the two sides are just one per cent apart on wages. See TWO Page A5

TRU puts new focus on technology Sanders said. “I’m not in favour of just saying courses are online because I don’t think that’s interactive enough.” With a learning management system it’s a distributed model so that students enrolled have to respond to deadlines and two classmates, for example. Students are still in courses and will sometimes connect

This is a mechanism to do

this.” If a student misses some classes because of a death in the family or other commitments, they will be able to catch up easily in the block blended programming, he added. “I feel good about being able to serve people who work full time and people from our First Nations communities. The model needed to

be flexible but also needs to meet the needs of our population.” According to Stats Canada, less than nine per cent of people in the Cariboo-Chilcotin have a Bachelor’s Degree, he said. In November, TRU will participate in an independent review of its programming, bringing on a threeperson team to inter-

view stakeholders. “We are taking the whole year to teach faculty new learning management systems that we’ll use to combine the online with the face to face,” Sanders said. “It’s not something you know automatically but whatever we do we want it to be pedagogically sound and do it right or we’re not going to do it.”

NDP, MLAs visit Mount Polley spill site Test update Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Government has the responsibility to make sure mine tailing storage facilities are built, managed and maintained properly said two NDP MLAs Friday after touring the area impacted by the Mount Polley Mine breach. “You can’t argue with the fact there’s been a failure here that sits with government and the minister ultimately,” NDP spokesperson for energy and mines Norm Macdonald told the Tribune Friday. “Government is responsible for the rules and enforcing the rules. Something failed.” During their tour, Macdonald and NDP environment spokesperson Spencer Chandra Herbert visited Likely and met with many residents and business owners. On Thursday they toured Quesnel Lake to get a sense of the extent of the plume with long-time resident Lionel Guiltner who lives near Hazeltine Creek and went with Imperial Mines all over the mine site. “When you are out

There’s no cause for people to worry about human health risks from the Mount Polley mine tailings spill despite some elevated levels of contaminants in the latest sediment tests, reports an Interior Health official. “The results are quite reassuring,” medical health officer Dr. Trevor Corneil said after the release of new tests conducted Aug. 12 and 15, adding clean water without suspended sediment that’s outside the impact zone continues to be safe to drink. “The water continues to be safe, the fish continue to be safe, if normal food and water practices are undertaken.” That includes not drinking cloudy water or eating the sediment within the spill impact zone itself, where Corneil said “slightly elevated” arsenic levels have been found, along with copper, iron, manganese, silver, selenium and vanadium. Elevated levels of various elements are

world-class standards for mining and that is not true. Everything government says is going to be looked at with a mistrusting lens.” Herbert said it’s hard for people to have trust when there are conflicting messages. “Initially the premier said everything was OK and then when the plume was discovered, everyone realized it wasn’t,” he said.

Government is going to have to do the hard work over the next years to rebuild confidence, learn from the mistakes and do the best to mitigate the disaster, Macdonald added. Both MLAs said if trust can be restored the mine could restart because there is existing tailings storage capacity. The spill poses a huge

risk to Likely and Quesnel Lake and future resource development. “We want good resource jobs, which are good for B.C., when done well,” Herbert said. Government will have to show it has changed and that it has invested in ensuring resource development is balanced with the environment if it wants to proceed, he added.

to be expected at an active mine, he said. Corneil noted arsenic is naturally occurring and measurable in most water sources. Background data from samples taken last spring show there were previously elevated levels of the same contaminants – though not to the same extent – in Quesnel Lake and Hazeltine Creek prior to the disaster, environment ministry regional operations director Jennifer McGuire said. She said the arsenic concentration tested is far below a national guideline for human consumption. Tests released the previous week indicated higher levels of selenium in the gonads and livers of fish meant someone who consumed more than a cup a day of those fish organs would exceed human consumption guidelines, but not if they just ate the flesh. The Aug. 4 breach of the tailings pond dam caused concern among First Nations and other fishery users that Fraser River salmon might be contaminated.

Pool referendum meeting dates set The Cariboo Regional District and the City of Williams Lake will be hosting a series of open house sessions regarding the upcoming Sam Ketcham Pool Renovations and Upgrades Referendum. The sessions will take place as follows: Thursday, Sept. 11: Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, Gibraltar Room, 4-7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13: 150 Mile House Community Hall, 1-2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13: Area E Town Hall Open House, Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Club, 1-3 p.m. Monday, Sept. 15: Area D Town Hall Open House, Wildwood Volunteer Fire Hall, 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 17: City of Williams Lake Town Hall Open House, CRD boardroom 5-7 p.m. The referendum will be held Nov. 15 and ask voters if they approve borrowing up to $10 million over 20 years. The remainder of the cost of the approximately $11.3 million project will need to be made up from grants, fundraising, and capital reserves. Proceeding with the project would result in a taxation increase for

Central Cariboo Recreation services of approximately $40 per $100,000 of residential assessment, including operating costs of the expanded facility. The project includes three main components: increasing the shallow-water leisure pools from the existing 540 to 3,700 square feet, replacing the main lap pool tank, and adding multi-purpose fitness centre space to a second floor above the change rooms. Other notable improvements include a larger family change room and replacement of mechanical and electrical systems. A redesign and resurfacing of the parking lot will also be planned in conjunction with the proposed pool upgrades. A Facebook page dedicated to helping provide information to residents and an opportunity for residents to ask questions can be found at facebook.com/ SamKetchamPool. A Twitter feed can also be found at @SKPReferendum. For further information or to view the Cariboo Memorial Complex Pool Feasibility Study visit us online at cariboord.bc.ca or williamslake.ca.

The government offer is seven per cent over six years, while the union wants eight per cent over five. But Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the BCTF demand is still nearly twice what other public sector unions have settled for once benefit demands are included. The province has also taken a $1,200 signing bonus off the table, while the union still wants $5,000, which makes up a big chunk of what the government says is a $300-million gulf between the positions. The province has offered a $75-million

Learning Improvement Fund to help address special needs but the union wants more for special needs and to settle grievances. Another challenge to a negotiated settlement remains the government’s pending appeal of a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that it violated the union’s bargaining rights in 2002 when it stripped provisions on class size and support. Iker said the BCTF has reduced its demands by $125 million, including a cut in the size of its proposed fund to settle grievances, while the government offered no meaningful moves in return and “squandered” the chance at a deal. He said the province

wants new contract language that will “nullify” the union’s legal victories on class size and composition and circumvent any future appeal court ruling in teachers’ favour. “B.C. teachers will not bargain away everything that the B.C. Supreme Court has already awarded us and we will not jeopardize any future court decision,” Iker said. “The government must back off that unreasonable request and invest money in the system now.” Fassbender again insisted the province won’t legislate the teachers back to work, saying it would keep the government and union “on

owner and long-time business consultant while working with Community Futures, Lachance says she has a deep understanding of the issues facing the community, specifically the business sector. She said she is focusing her campaign on several issues, including lowering taxes to help reduce the burden on struggling families and attracting new industry and jobs to Williams Lake. “I want to get the manufacturing sector to look at Williams Lake as a viable place for value added products,” Lachance said. “To do that we must be competitive and offer

an affordable tax rate.” She also plans on working towards a healthier downtown as well as improving core city services such as street maintenance. She notes that many streets are in disrepair and although some of the more visible ones were paved in time for this election, there is still much work to be done. “We need honest leaders who can bring investment and good paying jobs to Williams Lake,” concludes Lachance. “We need to be brave and bold, not sitting in offices pushing paperwork and spending money on slogans to sell our city. “Slogans don’t sell cit-

the same dysfunctional treadmill” they’ve been on for 30 years. “Negotiating a settlement requires union leaders to stand in front of their members and explain what has been achieved at the bargaining table,” he said. “I worry the BCTF leadership is actually counting on government to legislate an end to this strike so they can

avoid having a difficult conversation with their members about what is realistic and achievable.” He had previously urged the union to agree to open schools on time this week as part of a two-week truce while mediation could continue. That possibility evaporated when Ready said he saw no route to an agreement and walked away.

walking the line

Columneetza teachers Rick Heal (left) and Randy Morgan (centre) walk the picket line Tuesday morning as part of the ongoing labour dispute between teachers and the provincial government. Students were suppose to start the 2014/2015 school year today however there appears to be no end in sight to the dispute.

welve years ago the B.C. government broke its contract with public school teachers by removing class size and composition language from their collective agreement. The B.C. Supreme Court ruled twice that this legislation violated teachers’ constitutional rights to negotiate working conditions. The province has appealed, the third court decision is expected this fall. If the province loses again it could go to the Supreme French Court of Canada. Connection That could take Diana French a year or two. Meantime, contract talks between the province and teachers have broken down and public schools are closed, who knows for how long. According to reports, the stumbling block may be the government’s attempt to scuttle the Appeal Court ruling by putting language in the proposed contract giving the province an escape clause (E80) for any future court decision on class size and composition. In other words, Premier Clark & Co. want to be able to tear up the contract the BCTF agrees to in the current negotiations, thus scuttling the court decision before it even happens. So much for the legal system. It isn’t surprising the BCTF is balking, given its two previous wins in court. Many suspect the province’s intent is to break the union and promote private schools. B.C. has the highest rate of child poverty and the second lowest rate of per-student funding in Canada. Perhaps the premier believes a private school system would solve those problems. Ms. Clark has several ways to end this dispute if she chooses. If she truly believes families come first, she should do whatever she can ASAP to get the schools open. Dropping E80 might be a good start. Question (Again) Where are the local school trustees in all of this? Why aren’t they speaking out? They should know classroom situations better than most. Aren’t they the people “trusted” by the public to deliver education to our children? Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Our Viewpoint

Class warfare You expect students to be on edge at the prospect of returning to school – while parents breathe a quiet sigh of relief after a long summer. But thanks to the ongoing labour dispute, our nerves are all a little frayed – as parents contemplate childcare arrangements, and the standoff between the BC Teachers Federation and the Ministry of Education shows every sign (as of this writing, at least) of dragging on. Rather than celebrating a prolonged holiday, many students are impatient to get the inevitable return over with. Compounding the confusion are union leaders who have underestimated the will of our elected officials, and mixed messages from Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who’s made it clear he has no interest in legislating teachers back to work. Indeed, it appears his government, of all stakeholders, is the least concerned with finding a genuine solution. Why else would it sooner offer parents $40 per day to subsidize childcare, than provide what could be seen as a reasonable offer? This gesture — about equal to the estimated $12 million saved in the strike — is hard to reconcile with “where is the money coming from?” arguments he’s advanced. People can also be forgiven for being

confused by the ministry’s multiple pockets. The one in which it keeps $46 million in capital funds for last week’s re-announced planned Clayton North high school is not, we’re told, the same pocket in which it keeps funds for staff wages. And we should definitely not interpret the timing of the announcement as a diversion; it’s merely “business as usual” at the ministry – though circumstances appear to be anything but. Also overshadowing attempts to mediate the current dispute is the ongoing court case over Bill 28, with which the government, 12 years ago, eliminated teachers’ rights to negotiate class sizes and composition. It’s interesting the BC Liberals are proposing a new clause that would allow either side to opt out, should they be unhappy with the outcome of the court case. Given that the B.C. Supreme Court has twice found the government bargained in bad faith — a decision under appeal — it would appear only one party could ultimately benefit from such a clause. Given the lack of movement on both sides of the bargaining table, students, parents and other taxpayers can be forgiven for wondering if it’s the so-called leaders who should first be returning to class. - Black Press

Come down to the Harvest Fair Summer has flown by and you can already feel a noticeable chill in the air. It may still be hard to believe, but September is already here. Fall is approaching and farmers are in the middle of harvesting their crops and preparing for the changing seasons from summer, to fall, and let’s not think about what comes next. MLA Williams Lake Musings Harvest Fair is Donna Barnett an annual tradition for our community, featuring a wide variety of activities for everyone. There are exhibitions for arts and crafts, 4-H competition, and even best beer and wine. The Little Britches Rodeo at the Stampede Grounds is another great event showcasing some of the best young rodeo talent from the Cariboo and entire province. However, the main purpose of the Williams Lake Harvest Fair is promote the importance of agriculture and how it effects our lives every day. We are lucky to have the luxury of having abundant food available whenever we need it. On their website there is a slogan at the bottom of the page, “If you eat, you’re involved in agriculture.” I couldn’t say it better myself. Agriculture and the people who grow our food are critical to our lives and we should never forget that. I would also like to thank Tammy Tugnum, President of the Harvest Fair Executive and all of the volunteers who help organize the event all year round. It is because of their passion for agriculture and Williams Lake that the fair has been a success for 38 years. The fair is an affordable event for the whole family and admission is only $6 for adults and $3 for youth and seniors, children five and under are free. So be sure to support our local farmers and come on down to the 2014 Williams Lake Harvest Fair this weekend! Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Clock ticking on public education Editor: Dear Ms. Barnett: This night, the night before the first day back at school, was always like Christmas Eve in our family. As one of four children growing up in Vancouver, we were always excited about the first day in a new grade. This feeling carried over into my teaching career as well. By this time, almost 11 p.m. on Labour Day Monday, I would have made my lunch, set out my new outfit, checked and rechecked the alarm clock, and turned off my bedside light. But sleep never came immediately. As I lay in the darkened room, the clock quietly ticking towards midnight, I reviewed all the work I’d done in the previous weeks to set up my classroom for my incoming students. While I wouldn’t know the children’s names yet, I could imagine their faces and would try to anticipate their needs.

There is no doubt that teaching was more than a job for me. I came into the career later than most but it made me even more certain of my choice. Each year I taught I learned more from my students than I could have expected. Teaching was a gift that I will always treasure. Tonight, again, I don’t sleep. Although I am now retired my mind is on my colleagues who long to be greeting their students tomorrow, not walking a picket line. My mind is on the children of B.C. who long to meet their new teacher, not face a new babysitter. My mind is on their parents who long to send their child off to a new grade, not fret about childcare. My mind is on your government whose actions — indeed inactions — are difficult to understand at best and frightening at worst. What is the purpose of delaying a settlement with teach-

ers? What does your government gain? Are you trying to turn public sentiment against teachers? To what end? Are you trying to save money that is so desperately needed in schools? To what end? Will you speak out on behalf of the children? Will you ask your leader, Christy Clark, to settle this strike now? Please show your constituents in Cariboo Chilcotin that you will stand up for them. Once you were elected you assumed the responsibility to speak up on behalf of all your constituents, not just those who voted for you. Please speak up for the children in Cariboo Chilcotin. As my clock ticks towards midnight I sense the clock is also ticking for our children and for public education in B.C. What will you do to help? Sheila Wyse Williams Lake

The photo opportunity wasn’t to be missed. Chief Joe Alphonse “...hopes to minimize negative impacts, maximize benefits to Tsilhqot’in communities (reported by Monica Lamb-Yorski, Aug. 6, 2014). Must responsible mining leave risky perpetual toxic waste dumps in their territories? The legacy of the old Imperialist Colonial Age is dominion and submission. In a democracy, submission is abhorrent to all but the powerful elite and their minions. Evolutionary democracy is a consequence of humanity’s search for stability, peace and harmony for all. We can accomplish civilization’s collapse or its fulfillment.

Time is not on civilization’s side. In democracies, we are socially equal human beings in terms of rights, morals and dignity. Democratic equality: social, political, economic, is lacking. The struggle intensifies to correct or maintain this ancient human injustice. Equality is long unfulfilled in “democratic” Canada. Extreme inequality (.01 per cent, one per cent, 10 per cent vs. 90 per cent — 84 persons own more wealth and income than 3.5 billion people) and its consequent instability and social disharmony will not end policies conceived in ignorance and disdain of the cultures and ways of life in democracies. Aboriginals will not renounce their long pre-colonial heritage and values to be submerged in the flooding breach of Imperialist dominant culture. Herb Nakada Williams Lake

reference to maintaining the campground removed. The new outhouse which will have a permanent watertight tank will be located where the cement slab is at the campground, however, fundraising and cost sharing with government is needed. Eventually, all the concrete will be removed and new work engineered by DFO will be installed; until then portable outhouses will have to be used at the next Salmon festival, and any other functions. We were very pleased to receive a poster announcing that First Nations is hosting a traditional powwow to honour the return of the sockeye to the river on the weekend of September 6 and 7.

The Roundtable, in conjunction with Fisheries and Oceans Canada held a stream cleanup at the Horsefly Lake Provincial Park on August 29 and 30. The goal is to eventually clean up some old and rotting wharfs along the river as well.

If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. The Cariboo Fire Centre covers an area of about 10.3 million hectares, stretching from Loon Lake in the south to just north of Quesnel at the Cottonwood River.

Campfires are allowed east of the Fraser River, but remain banned in areas west of the Fraser River. In order to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety, the Cariboo Fire Centre will not be lifting the current campfire ban west of the Fraser River at this time. The fire danger rating for areas west of the Fraser River currently ranges from “high” to “extreme.” Dry conditions are expected to continue and no substantial rainfall is in the forecast for those areas.

Tractor bucket delivers icy ALS challenge First came the waterfall, then came the loonies. It was one of the more unusual ice bucket video challenges for ALS anyone has likely seen. The six participants screamed as a waterfall of ice and water was dumped on their heads from the bucket of a farm tractor operated by Fred Knezevich at the “Funny Farm” in Chimney Valley. Then they cringed in anticipation with hats on or hands up as $1,000 in toonies came tumbling from the bucket in a second shower. The event was organized by Funny Farm owner Vona Priest and Eileen Campbell, two people who have been personally impacted by ALS. Priest, who’s sister in Victoria has ALS, delivered her ice-bucket challenge to the SPCA and her brotherin-law Ben Parsons. Eileen Campbell, who’s husband Hugh died of ALS, delivered her ice-bucket challenge to Williams Lake mayor and council and to Dale Taylor at the Goat Radio station. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord leading to death. The organizer of the Williams Lake ALS Walk, Campbell says losing her husband Hugh to ALS was an extremely difficult time for her family. She says there is no cure and no specific test for ALS. The diagnosis for her husband was by a process of elimination. He was diagnosed in 2008 at age 52 and died at age 54. Priest says the life expectancy for those diagnosed with ALS is three to five years. Through tears she explained that her sister, Alicia Priest, in Victoria, who is now in her third year of living with ALS and is unable to speak. She says they communicate by email every day. She says her brother-in-law Ben Parfait has taken a leave from work to care for her.

Olga Slavik, Angie Kollner, Faye Mosher, Vona Priest, Eileen Campbell and Barb Hoffman get a soaking as Fred Knezevich lets the ice and water-filled shovel of the farm tractor go on their heads. “It’s an absolute beast because your mind isn’t affected,” Priest says. “You are basically trapped in a paralyzed body.” Priest says that while some people are talking negatively about the ALS ice-bucket challenge she says the challenges are going a long way toward raising awareness about ALS and funds for ALS research and providing care and comfort for people suffering with ALS. She says the shock of having ice water dumped on you is symbolic of the shock people feel when they get a diagnosis of ALS. “This is amazing,” says Priest, of the millions raised by the challenges so far. Priest plans to donate $1,000 to the B.C. ALS Society for research and another $1,000 to the ALS Guardian Angels who provide 100 per cent of the funding they receive to the care of ALS patients.

Summer seems to have passed by all to quickly so its time to start preparing for fall activities again at the Seniors’ Activity Centre. The centre opened on Tuesday, Sept. 2 after being closed for the last two weeks in August to allow the contractors to complete their work in the upstairs bath-

Help prevent suicide, know the signs The Crisis Line Association of BC and its member agencies support provincial and national efforts to prevent suicide. This includes representatives from the Canadian Mental Health Association in Williams Lake who are hosting a free workshop on suicide awareness and prevention this Thursday, Sept. 4. The workshop will be held from 10 a.m. to noon at the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Centre next to city hall. Suicide is an issue that is hard to talk about and, and for many, harder to understand, say event organizers. Every year more than 800,000 people die from suicide; roughly one death every 40 seconds. In 2012, it is estimated that for each completed suicide there were 27 others who made suicide attempts. The reasons for suicide can be complex, but event organizers say they know that psychological, social, biological, cultural and environmental factors can all be involved. Studies have also shown that social isolation can increase the

risk of suicide and, conversely, that having strong human bonds can be protective against it. Crisis Lines play an indispensible role in supporting those that have become disconnected from others and offering them support can be a life-saving act. “For many people, calling a Crisis Line and hearing a Crisis Line worker’s voice on the other end is like grabbing a life line in the ocean when the ship has capsized and the waves have become too overwhelming,” said Jancie Breck, B.C. crisis line president. “There is a sense of relief knowing that someone cares and that there is hope.” The local Crisis Line number is 1-888-3532273. Trained volunteers and staff respond 24-7 with emotional support, and when needed, intervention. BC’s dedicated 1800SUICIDE toll-free number alone responded to 6,791 calls for help in 2013. For more information, contact Janice Breck at 250-398-8220 ext. 2040 or Bettina Egert at 250-398-8220 ext. 2020.

she was elected in 2010. The new council was effective immediately and was to have its first meeting on Sept. 2. “The band has lots of work to do,” Louie said Thursday. “We’ve got the development along the highway corridor near Sugar Cane, working with the Ministry of Transportation and hope to finish it by spring of 2015.”

Chief Ann Louie Alongside Louie, councillors Chris Wycotte, Willie Sure and Heather McKenzie

were elected for fouryear terms. William Sellars and Rick Gilbert remained as they are half way through their terms. “We have appointed our seniors official table members that will include Brian Olding who did a report for us on Mount Polley in 2011,” Louie said. The table is co-ordinated between the provincial government and First Nations.

Other representatives for the First Nations are are Grand Chief Stewart Philip, Chief Ed John and Amy Kirk who is working for Soda Creek Indian Band on the table. There’s also the BC First Nations Energy and Mining Council which WLIB council members participate on, taking turns attending meetings. The band has also appointed Jim Kuip-

pers to be a liaison for the WLIB and Soda Creek on the independent engineering investigation and review panel of the Mount Polley tailings pond breach. On Thursday, Aug. 28, the band also hosted an information session and invited Imperial Metals to update community members. “We feel that we aren’t getting all the information,” Louie said.

On the road to Horsefly Barry Sale Special to Tribune/Advisor The road out to Horsefly from 150 Mile House has had a rather interesting history. Prior to 1860, the only way to get to the Horsefly River was to follow one of the fur brigade routes or one of the established First Nation trails. When gold was discovered on the Horsefly River in 1859, it was a man belonging to the Shuswap First Nations in Kamloops who led the party of gold-seekers to the specific area. At that time, t h e r e were three well-known HBC Brigade trails in the area, one leading out to 108 Mile past Moffat Lake (the current 108 Road follows part of that old trail), another leading out to Lac La Hache past Rail and Spout Lake, and a third through the Black Creek area past Mahood Lake and eventually leading to Little Fort. When the Cariboo Wagon Road was being built in 1862, it followed a brigade trail up from Clinton to 144 Mile, then it veered off north to 150 Mile. Once 150 Mile was established sev-

eral trails were pushed northeast to the goldfields. One of the wellused routes eventually led to the Horsefly River. It began right at the 150 Mile roadhouse, right where the Chemo RV driveway is today, and meandered along, following Valley Creek, Hawkes Creek, and Rose Lake Creek. It became known as the Valley Road, and the present day road of the same name follows part of that old route. For the first 10 miles, the road was to the south of the present day Horsefly Road, on the other side of Dugan, Dewar, and the other lakes. At Rose Lake, the road swung to the north, then followed several more creeks until it reached the Horsefly River. It was a very rough road, almost impassable in the spring and in the fall. There were some huge hills which gave

But it was much shorter than the old brigade trails, and with increased use, it became a more viable option, although it was never much more than a series of ruts through the bush. And so it remained until the 1880s when Thaddeus Harper became involved. Thaddeus and his brother Jerome came to B.C. from California in 1858, and operated a sawmill in Yale. Jerome was quick to recognize that the horde

of gold-seekers would have to be fed, and realized early on that there was much money to be made in beef. By 1862 the brothers were purchasing cattle in Washington and Oregon and driving huge herds into B.C., where they would winter them over in Osooyos, then drive them up to the Cariboo. In that year they established the Harper Ranch just north of Fort Kamloops, and the following year they founded the huge Gang Ranch on the west side of the Chilcotin River. In addition they owned sawmills (one at Quesnel), flour mills, mining claims, an other business ventures. It was quite an empire. Both brothers were bachelors and both were widely known and respected in the Cariboo. However, both tended to drink and party quite freely. They often hosted champagne lunches at Jerome’s

home four miles north of Clinton and they were often seen enjoying the company of women of questionable moral standing. In 1871, Jerome’s health began to deteriorate rapidly. He had tertiary syphilis, and could no longer manage his business affairs. In December of that year, he advertised his flour and sawmill holdings for sale, and in March, 1872, he moved back to San Francisco. In February of 1873, he was declared by the courts to be “hopelessly insane” and he drowned in his own bath tub in November of 1874. His estate valued at $176,000 passed to Thaddeus, but only after the will had been contested in court by other relatives who challenged its validity. Jerome had always been the leader of the two brothers. See TWIST Page A20

Loaded with supplies on the road to Horsefly.

Twist in Horsefly Road building left brothers broke and insance Continued From Page A19 He had initiative, foresight, and business acumen. Without Jerome’s advice, Thaddeus was free to invest in any scheme that took his fancy, and he became the target of some very unscrupulous promoters. In 1876 Thaddeus organized a beef drive to Washington, then through Idaho to Utah, where the animals were put on trains to San Francisco. Beef prices were reputed to be higher there. This venture was noteworthy in two respects. It was the longest cattle drive, (1,200 miles) ever made from Canada, and it was a financial disaster. In 1878 a severe winer hit the Cariboo/ Chilcotin, and Thaddeus lost more than 3,000 head of cattle on the Gang Ranch. By 1879 he was almost bankrupt, and sold his Hat Creek Ranch property to remain solvent.

But back to the Horsefly Road. By 1878, Thaddeus had become convinced that the Blue Lead Mine on the Horsefly River had great potential, even though it had been worked over first by white miners, then for 10 years by the Chinese It was clearly a claim that had been cleaned out, but Thaddeus was so sure it was another bonanza waiting to happen that by 1884 he had paid for a 10year lease. He poured money into purchasing major hydraulic equipment and the digging of ditches to bring water from the Moffat Lake system. The mine was renamed the Horsefly Hydraulic Mine. It was now clear that tertiary syphilis had now begun to affect Thaddeus’ reasoning. As bad as that was, he was kicked in the head by a horse, and spent six weeks in hospital in Victoria. After he recovered,

he was never quite right in the head, and he went on a monumental spending spree. He proceeded to lay out more than $40,000 to straighten and improve the Horsefly Road from 150 Mile House to his mine site, mainly to facilitate the hauling of equipment and supplies on a yearround basis. The present day road follows much of that route. Once the road was completed, he brought in a sawmill, a 40 horsepower engine, piping, water monitors, stamp mill machinery, and all sorts of other mining equipment. By 1886, he had built a store and was constructing winter quarters for his men and horse teams, and the resulting town became known as Harper’s Camp. By 1887, the mine was in full operation, but it never gleaned more than a few thousand dollars in gold, and Thaddeus lost so much money that in 1888 he had to sell

the Gang Ranch to avoid bankruptcy once again. Thaddeus eventually went through the entire fortune that he and his brother had worked so hard to build up. His gold fever had cost him dearly and by 1891 his entire estate went into receivership. Thaddeus was paid a nominal annual stipend to keep him from starving, and he continued to visit his former holdings as if he still owned them, but he was a broken man, increasingly out of touch with reality. He retired to Victoria in 1898 and died there on Dec. 10 at age 65, like his brother, completely insane. Harper’s Camp later had its name changed to Horsefly. Harper’s singleminded quest for gold and his construction of a road to supply his mine provided the basis for the current Horsefly Road, the road that owes its existence to an STD.

Disability didn't stop this farm girl tapes, music, and studying history. She also enjoys collecting first edition books. Some of her favourites are the Nancy Drew series, Bobbsey Twins, The Cherry Aimes series about a young nurse. “Cherry was kind of like Nancy Drew. She would go on all of these cases and end up solving mys-

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Growing up on a ranch with a disability didn’t bother Donna Schoonover, or her family one bit. Donna was born at the original Cariboo Memorial Hospital that was eventually turned into the Williams Lake City Hall and later replaced with the city hall as we know it today. Donna suffered a difficult birth which left her with a rare type spastic paralytic polio causing low vision and difficulty walking. “I wore leg braces for a few years but I didn’t get any special treatment,” Donna says. “I still had to feed the chickens, pack wood and help with the housework.” She is the third generation and last in her immediate family’s pioneering roots who is still living in the Cariboo. She was raised on the meadow lands at Slater Mountain where her dad Bob Schoonover operated a small sawmill and her mother, Florence (nee Ross), raised cattle. Her dad was born and raised in Squamish and at 19 decided to stretch his wings by moving to the Cariboo where he fed cattle for John Hailey near Horsefly. He also worked for the old Smedley and Sharpe hardware store before setting up his own saw-milling operation. Her parents met at an old-fashioned country dance at Riske Creek. Florence was born and raised at Meldrum Creek where her parents Florence and Murdoch Ross homesteaded. In those early days Donna says her parents didn’t own a car. “Our transportation was a little wee tractor that we would drive into town for supplies. You could licence them in those days.”

Although her eyesight isn't very good, Donna Schoonover maintains a passion for books and learning. If the family moved around the countryside cutting wood or homesteading they used a team and wagon. They also had a good friend who owned a truck who would help them out when they needed to haul larger items. Her dad logged their land and produced conventional 2x4 lumber as well as railroad ties, and rail car stakes. Her mother worked out as a janitor and Donna and her sisters helped her mother run a Christmas tree farm. “Ruth and I would help to pile and sort the Christmas trees,” Donna says. “My mother was highly thought of and a shrewd businesswoman.” Donna and her sisters, Ruth and June, took their early schooling by correspondence. Her sisters finished high school, but Donna quit school part way through Grade 6 because she couldn’t do the math. But she was an avid reader and kept learning other things. About the same time she quit school at age 13, Donna also had surgery to lengthen the muscles

in her legs and had to wear weighted casts for several months. “It added six inches to my height,” Donna says. In 1966 Donna and her family moved from Slater Mountain to Langley but

decided they didn’t like the rainy weather and returned to the Cariboo eight months later in the spring. They settled at Miocene where they ran a small farm and small sawmill, trad-

ing work with neighbours. Donna never married but has never been at a loss for things to do be it helping family or her many hobbies, photography, crochet, making cassette

teries,” Donna says. “I liked cooking a lot too. I miss baking,” Donna says. She also had lots of opportunity to travel with her older sister. “I was all over B.C. with my older sister, June, and her family during the 70s,” Donna says. See SENIORS Page A22

Sporting clays provincials hit mark Shooters from all over the province gathered in Williams Lake Aug. 22-24 to compete in the second BC Sporting Clays Association provincial championship. Competitors came from as far north as Fort St. John and south to Vancouver and Vancouver Island and were joined by others from the Interior in a one-day preliminary and two-day main event. The Royan family had an outstanding match, with all of them taking home some hardware. Brian was top gun at the main event, while his father, Bill, won a silver as Super Vet in the preliminary and his mother Pam also won silver in the Ladies’ preliminary. Brian, from Mackenzie, became the new provincial champion winning the high overall trophy in a shoot-off with Chris Cherlenko of Kamloops. Cherlenko settled for the gold medal in the top Masters class, and Wayne Carlson of Fort St. John took home silver, with Vern Turriff winning bronze. Turriff, from Grand Prairie, Albert, also land the Out of Province trophy. Colin Effa of Kamloops ended up with AA class gold, Alan McLean of Lac La Hache silver and Dennis Royan of Fort St. John, bronze.

Brett Thorpe took gold in his B class, John MacDonald of Quesnel shot silver and Eric Mass of Richmond bronze. Gordon Smith from Prince George carried off the C class gold, Jim O’Brien of Williams Lake won silver and Manny Sangha of Fort St. John gained bronze.

Ladies’ preliminary event winners were Morrow, gold; Pam Royan, silver, and Brannstrom, bronze. BCSCA president Tony Manuge of Prince George also visited Williams Lake during the weekend to get a first-hand look at the action. “I’m very pleased with how things went,” Manuge said. “We have about 25 per cent more people than we had last

year in Radium probably because of the proximity [to other cities]. “I’ve had good feedback and we had lots of fun folks come from Vancouver.” Manuge added the BCSCA will definitely be coming back, however, said he’s not sure where next year’s championships will be located. “We’ll be coming back,” he said. “I’m looking forward to getting it going again for next year, and we’re looking to grow the association and start to provide some training programs for people in B.C.”

The fourth annual Shifting Gears Mountain Biking fundraising event is coming up on Sunday, Sept. 14. Sponsored by the Williams Lake Boys and Girls Club registration is at 9 a.m. and the race starts at 10 a.m. sharp at the top of the Snakes and Ladders trail head.

Reminder to residents to apply for boulevard parking spots

In order to ensure that vehicles are not illegally parked on City boulevards, the City will focus on enforcement of the 2011 Boulevard Parking Traffic Control Bylaw, which prohibits boulevard parking in residential zones without an approved boulevard parking spot approved by the City. Vehicles parked on City boulevards can impede safe snow removal, obstruct clear sight lines for motorists and cyclists, and can be a factor in unsightly properties. Residents are reminded that vehicles parked illegally on the boulevard could be subjected to fines and/or towed. To apply for an approved boulevard parking area, residents must submit a Request For Boulevard Parking form to the General Manager of Planning and Operations. The parking area must meet all criteria set out in the bylaw: 1. Parking spot must be delineated (must have a clear border) 2. Parking spot must be surfaced either by paving (preferred), crush, or with grindings (available from the City at a low cost) 3. Parking spot must be connected to driveway. 4. Homeowner can request a “curb drop” however this cost will be borne by the homeowner. 5. Plans for parking spots must be approved by the General Manager of Planning and Operations (GMPO) BEFORE construction takes place. 6. Parking spot must be clearly marked in the winter months for easy identification by snow removal crews. 7. All passenger vehicles parked within boulevard parking spots must be licensed and insured. 8. No recreational vehicles, trailers, or storage of any kind 9. Vehicle must not exceed size of allotted area both in width and length. 10. Deadline for markers: October 31 of any given year to correspond with beginning of snow removal season. For Request For Boulevard Parking forms or more information, contact the City at 250-392-2311.

Stampeders to host tryouts for upcoming season The Central Interior Hockey League season is just around the corner and the Williams Lake Stampeders would like to invite interested individuals to attend their Septemberlong tryout session. Tryouts will be held at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex every Tuesday and Thursday beginning at 9:15 p.m. each night throughout the month of September. There will be a onetime fee of $50 for tryouts. The team is also looking for a coach and a gen-

eral manager, or a coach/ general manager. Anyone interested in either position is asked to contact Stampeders’ president Marko Zurak at 250-305-4499. The Williams Lake Stampeders are scheduled to begin Central Interior Hockey League play in October. Fans of the CIHL will notice a few changes this season, as one team has dropped out of the league and the schedule has been shortened from 18 games to 16 games.

Additionally, instead of all eight teams making it to the playoffs, only the top four will now compete for the Coy Cup. “The Houston Luckies are having a lot of player commitment issues, especially with the mill closing down,” said CIHL president J.C. Brown. “They lost a few players and some guys are going to school. They couldn’t get a commitment for a full roster in the community so they had to pull out this season.” Despite the changes,

Brown said the league is still in good shape. “Things look good, although it doesn’t look good that we went back,” he said. “A team like Houston mentioned they’re going to try to get back into the league next year.” He added Mackenzie and Omineca have also shown interest in rejoining the league for the 2015/16 season.

I, Dino Petronio, moved to the Cariboo with my family from the lower mainland, to pursue our dream of owning a hobby farm. Our land is situated adjacent to crown open range land. We were not aware we should have immediately built a fence to keep range cattle off our land. Unfortunately our neighbors bull came onto our land, very close to our house and out of concern for my family’s safety, and in a rushed decision, I shot the bull. I feel terrible about what happened. I now understand I should have immediately built the fence and I am very sorry the situation developed to the point it did. I encourage new residents coming to the Cariboo to educate themselves in regards to range laws and rules.

HAVE A SUCCESSFULL GARAGE SALE AT HOME

Looking for a great way to get rid of your household clutter and make some extra cash at the same time? A garage sale or yard sale may be just the ticket. Garage sales are easy to plan and manage, and they can turn large, unwieldy old lamps and dishes into smaller, more manageable piles of cash. Depending on how much you have to sell, you could realistically make $1,000 or more in a weekend. Let the selling begin! 1. Gather items for sale. Go through those boxes in the shed, closet or garage and select items you can sell. Then walk from room to room in your home, identifying things you no longer need. Most of us have trouble parting with things, even if we never use them: if you haven’t used something for over a year, it’s a good sign you won’t miss it!

2. Inventory each item on a sheet of paper as you identify it for sale. A lot of people skip this step, but it can make your sale go a lot smoother. Price tags have a strange way of getting lost at garage sales, and it’s hard to come up with a fair price on the spot, especially if you’ve got other people asking you questions or if you’re working a multi-family sale. 3. Review your completed inventory sheet and assign a reasonable price to each item. If you really just want to get rid of an old knick-knack, price it accordingly. For items that are more valuable, a general rule is to price at 1/4 to 1/2 of what you paid or less. Obviously, you may want to make exceptions for some things, such as those that are nearly new or valuable antiques. 4. Attach a clearly written price label to each item. Using brightly colored labels will make it easier for your customers to ﬁnd the price and will save you time on the day of the sale. 5. Check with your city or homeowner’s association and obtain a permit if one is required. Many cities place restrictions details such as placement of signage, hours of operation, frequency & etc. It’s better to take the time to do your research and pay the $5-$20 for a permit than risk losing

Advertising Sales Representative

you’ve got a lot of change at home, chances are you’ll need to visit the bank the day before the sale to get some rolls of quarters and plenty of loonies. You’re going to be making change for a lot of customers, so be sure to have a fanny pack to organize your money.

more money than you made in ﬁnes.

6. Set a date and place for your sale. A two-day garage sale is usually perfect, and summer weekends—-especially Saturdays and Sundays—-are the best times. Check your weather forecast and try to avoid rain, and be careful about scheduling your sale during special events and holidays, as many potential customers will have something better to do.

13. Set up the morning of the sale. Get up early so you’ll have plenty of time to arrange your vending area. Seasoned garage sale customers often arrive before the posted times to get a ﬁrst crack at the premium merchandise, and these customers come ready to buy. Make sure you have everything ready an hour before your advertised start time.

7. Advertise your sale. Your local paper probably offers a deal for garage sales. 8. Tidy up your yard and/or garage. You’d clean up your house if you were trying to sell it, right? Garage sale customers are more likely to buy (and to buy at higher prices) if it looks like the merchandise came from a good home with owners that care for their things. They’re also more likely to feel comfortable stopping and browsing if your sale space is attractive and clean.

14. Keep your display visually attractive. Many potential customers will drive by ﬁrst, and you want to make your sale look intriguing and wellorganized so that they stop. Hanging clothes are easier to look through, and you won’t have to worry about refolding them on the table.

9. Make signs a few days before the sale. If you are lucky, your newspaper may give you a few signs as part of your ad purchase. Give the date and time of the sale, the location and--if you have room--list some items for sale.

15. Be an active seller. Running a garage sale is a lot like working at a retail establishment, so bring out the salesman (or saleswoman) in you. Greet your customers with a friendly smile as they arrive.

10. Hang your signs a few days before the sale in places where they will be noticed by many a passersby. Make all your signage distinctive in some way, and make them all the same. This will be especially important if there are a lot of other sales that particular weekend. Don’t forget to put a sign at the entrance to your neighborhood, or in front of your house!

16. Have extra help on hand. Always have several people at the sale - it’s important for personal security and convenience. This way you can take a bathroom break when you need one, and you can keep things in order. 17. Negotiate with hagglers. Even though your prices are clearly marked, some people will try to haggle. Play along; haggling can be a fun experience, and you’ll likely make a lot more sales if you’re willing to reward these bargain hunters.

11. Make sure you have enough table space. While customers do see and buy items that are on the ground, it’s important to have enough tables to display small items to protect them and to ensure that people can easily inspect them. You can use tables and bookshelves from your house or you can rent folding tables if you don’t have enough.

18. Offer last-minute deals. If you’ve still got things left over during the ﬁnal scheduled hours of your sale, go ahead and slash prices. Do everything you can to make the sale, especially if you plan on throwing away or giving away the items anyway.

12. Get plenty of change and petty cash. Unless

19. Catch those latecomers. If you wait until after closing time before you start to pack up, you may ﬁnd that some stragglers will come by. Sometimes people will come by to offer you a set dollar amount for the entire load! 20. Hold a free garage sale after the sale. You can leave it right out in the yard and stay inside counting your money while people come pick stuff up. 21. Take down your signs after the sale, right at closing time. Be a good neighbor and community member! 22. Ask your friends to participate, close friends may be wanting to sell at least 2-3 large items and/or clothing at your sale. You have organized it, now reap the rewards! Haggling on friends’ items should only be done with their permission. “It’s not mine, so I have to stick with that price for you and the other buyers” is a positive line if somebody is not willing to compromise on their bargain. 23. Secure the area *Keep an eye on your customers. A garage sale brings all kinds of people, including shoplifters. As long as people know you’re watching, you probably won’t run into much trouble, but if somebody does steal a small item, it’s probably not worth confronting them. If you suspect somebody has stolen something valuable, confront them tactfully, and call police if necessary, but do not detain them. WALK-IN Tubs, Wheelchair Baths, Roll-in Showers, Shower Seats.
