COS executes search warrants at Mount Polley Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Seventy officers executed search warrants Tuesday at Mount Polley Mine offices near Williams Lake and in Vancouver as part of the Conservation Officer Services (COS) joint investigation into the Aug. 4 tailings impoundment breach. Insp. Chris Doyle, COS media spokesperson, told the Tribune he couldn’t go into the details of what was being searched for and seized because he didn’t want to compromise the ongoing investigation or any subsequent court proceedings. However, he said the timing of the search
warrants had nothing to do with the release last Friday of the Independent Investigation Panel’s findings on the physical cause of the breach. “Their investigation was totally separate,” Doyle said. “Our primary focus is investigating offences in respect to the environmental management act and the federal fisheries act. But it’s not limited to those acts.” Joining the COS in its investigation are Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the RCMP. By continuing to use a “myriad” of investigative techniques, the team hopes to gather the best evidence to
hand over to provincial and federal Crown prosecutors, Doyle said. Immediately after the tailings breach, the COS major investigation unit began leading its probe into the event. Some of the techniques include interviewing witnesses, gathering technical evidence and the execution of production and search warrants, Doyle explained. “The COS has conducted large complex investigations in the past,” he said. The mine’s owner Imperial Metals said it expected the warrants, but didn’t know when they would happen. “We are co-operat-
ing fully with them of course to make sure they get everything they need,” Imperial Metals vice-president Robertson told the Tribune. “We view this as a positive thing.” When the independent panel report came out last Friday it determined there was a single cause for the breach — it was a design flaw, Robertson said. “As the COS investigation and the one being conducted by the Ministry of Energy and Mines unfold, I think they are going to find the same thing and remove a lot of the noise coming from so-called experts and make sure the truth comes out,” he said.

A crowd of onlookers gather on the beaches of Quesnel Lake near Hazeltine Creek in the hours following the 1 a.m. breach the Mount Polley Mine tailings facility Aug. 4, 2015. Seven months after the disaster some 70 officers executed search warrants as part of an investigation into the breach.
First Nations respond to Mount Polley tailings breach report After carefully taking time to review the report on the Mount Polley Tailings Storage Facility Breach that was undertaken by an independent expert engineering investigation and review panel and released Friday, First
Nations leaders shared their insights during a press conference in Vancouver Tuesday. “Last week I personally thanked the three panelists for their diligent efforts and want to ensure that all their recommendations are im-
plemented,” said Chief Bev Sellars from the Xat’sull First Nation. The day before the report was released, members of Xat’sull First Nation and Williams Lake Indian Band along with government ministry officials met

with the panel. WLIB Chief Ann Louie said the two communities have engaged directly with the provincial government in a letter of understanding to jointly oversee all aspects of the decisions related to Mount Polley.
“Safety has a price and these companies have to quit taking shortcuts that prove disastrous,” Louie said. It was very fortunate no one was killed or injured, Louie told the Tribune. “Workers had been

Tea is the most popular beverage in the world. It is low in caffeine (about 40mg per cup). It’s inexpensive and it also contains antioxidants and phytochemicals which some believe are good for our health. Even the people of Turkey where some great coffee has been made for centuries, prefer tea. Had your cuppa today? Some drugs can be given only by injection because stomach acid destroys the drug when given by mouth. There is research going on at MIT which developed a special capsule coated with tiny needles which can release the drug into the stomach lining. The gold standard drug for this approach is insulin which traditionally must be given by injection. It’s early times but promising.
there just hours before the breach occurred.” Six recommendations made by the panel must be implemented in their entirety plus the First Nations priorities, the leaders said as they reminded that business as usual cannot continue
in B.C. “For the sake of our grandchildren we cannot accept six more tailings breaches in the next 30 years”, said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip from the Union of BC Indian Chiefs at the media conference.

New Staff Sergeant reports for duty Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Newly-appointed Staff Sgt. Del Bryon said he’s just settling in at the Williams Lake detachment, but he is fully aware of the work ahead of him. “Our priorities are to reduce crime in areas of traffic and impaired driving, violence and domestic violence, crimes committed by prolific offenders, and to build relationships with First Nations communities,” he said. Prolific offenders are a huge priority, he added. “We need to monitor them, watch what they are doing, and if they reoffend then prosecute them to the fullest extent
of the law and keep them accountable.” Byron was detachment commander in Alexis Creek before taking the position in Williams Lake on Jan. 29 and said Corp. Jon Collins will be acting sergeant there until someone else is named. Byron has yet to meet with First Nations leaders in his new capacity, but said he did meet with them in the Chilcotin when he was stationed at Alexis Creek. “They were on board to work with us,” he said. “They want safe communities too.” The detachment has yet to name a replacement for Insp.

A witch hunt, or fraudulent sheep hunt? Tim Petruk
Kamloops This Week The defence lawyer representing an alleged cross-border poacher accused of lying about where he shot a recordsetting Dall sheep more than 15 years ago says provincial authorities are on a witch hunt aimed at giving his client a bad name. Abe Dougan was back in Kamloops provincial court on Wednesday, Feb. 4, for the continuation of his trial on a dozen poaching charges stemming from a 1999 Dall sheep hunt. The Kamloopsbased hunting guide claims to have killed the sheep in a remote part of northwestern B.C., where he had been entitled to do so in August 1999. The trophy earned a spot in the Big Game Records of B.C. record book — where a photo of Dougan posing with the sheep was published alongside a brief firstperson account of the hunt, in which Dougan described tracking the animal through a mountain range in northwest B.C. In 2011, Environment Yukon received a confidential tip that the photo of Dougan was actually taken in the Yukon, where he was not permitted to hunt.
Using three-dimensional mapping software, an investigator located a Yukon mountain with similar characteristics to the mountain in the background of Dougan’s photo. In the summer of 2011, investigators flew by helicopter to the site they claim Dougan bagged the sheep — 18 kilometres north of the Yukon/B.C. border. They took a photo of the mountain range from what they felt was the exact location Dougan’s hunting partner was standing when the trophy photo was taken, court heard. The two pictures bear striking similarities, including a series of slides in the background and a distinct plateau on a mountain over Dougan’s left shoulder. Last week, Dougan was charged with three new counts stemming from an unrelated cougar hunt near Williams Lake more than a year ago. Dougan, along with Brent Giles and Ryan Hartling, is facing one count each of hunting wildlife within six hours of being airborne, unlawful possession of dead wildlife and failing to accompany a person guided. “These people [B.C. conservation authorities] have made it their life’s work to get Mr.
Dougan,” defence lawyer Kevin Church said in court. “They’re embarrassing him to Mr. Giles, the person that he’s working for. They’re telling him, ‘This guy is a bad guy. You shouldn’t deal with him. We know when we hear Abe Dougan’s around, we’re after you. So, don’t deal with this guy. Don’t hire this guy.’” The charges against Dougan, Giles and Hartling were sworn on Jan. 29. Church said the charges likely wouldn’t have been laid if not for the interest in Dougan generated by the Dall sheep case — a trial that has been ongoing sporadically for well over a year. All three accused in the latest indictment are slated to make first appearances in Williams Lake provincial court next month. Church went on to say the Dall sheep charges are not serious enough to warrant the amount of court time they have garnered. “You have murders, you have accessing of child pornography by people in authority,” he said.

Certainty in an Uncertain World FRIDAY February 6

Kamloops-based hunting guide Abe Dougan stands accused of poaching this record-setting Dall sheep in 1999, pictured above and published in the Big Game Records of B.C. record book. “It’s not a sexualassault case, it’s the harvest of a sheep. Again, I’m not trying to diminish it entirely. But, there are still sheep tags given in that part of British Columbia. This was not a harvest of the last of its species. This was a legal animal harvested in British Columbia, we say.” During a hearing in December, Dougan denied that the Crown photo and the background of his trophy photo were “an exact match.” “I agree that the
backdrop has some similarities, as many mountain areas do,” he said. Church has asked Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame to toss the Dall sheep charges based on delay. She has not yet ruled on that application. The Dall sheep trial is expected to continue later this spring. If convicted, Dougan could lose his B.C. guide licence and be banned from hunting in the province. In August, Dougan
was convicted in a Yukon court on charges alleging he wasted meat from sheep, caribou and moose killed in 2011 and hunted too soon after being airborne. In that instance, Dougan was a guide leading a Wyoming hunter on a hunt for stone sheep. The American hunter was fined $11,500 and barred from hunting in the Yukon for 10 years. Dougan was ordered to pay $15,000 in fines and banned from hunting or guiding in the Yukon for 20 years.

A relaxed attitude The attitude towards marijuana in this province is in sharp contrast with the approach in other parts of Canada. Proof of that comes in details from a court document, filed as part of an application to seize a property near the Aldergrove border crossing which was the subject of a massive search last week. Although the large property just drew public attention last week, the documents suggest it has been used for marijuana production since 1993. That’s a 22-year period. It is important to keep in mind that, in 1993, growing and selling marijuana for any purposes was illegal in Canada. While there were advocates for medicinal marijuana, which has since been allowed, growing, selling and using the product could lead to criminal charges. Yet as the documents suggest, there was plenty of marijuana being grown throughout B.C. at that time. Some was for local consumption, and some was truly for medicinal purposes. However, the vast majority was grown for
shipment to the U.S. and other countries, often in return for other drugs or guns. B.C. residents have had a more laissez-faire attitude towards marijuana since the late 1960s, and a willingness to put up with marijuana growing, if not actively partaking in what has been a big business, has been strong for many years. Could any other province have been so receptive to marijuana activist Marc Emery who, after serving several years in a U.S. jail, is encouraging American marijuana users to come here and buy their supply — even though it remains illegal to sell it, except for medicinal purposes? It seems likely that, if the legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado turns out to be successful, marijuana will be legalized throughout North America some day. If that does happen, B.C. marijuana activists, and the laissezfaire attitude that so many B.C. residents have, will have played a major role. - Black Press

Tackling the skinny on one’s own eating disorder As the country marks National Eating Disorder Awareness Week Feb. 1 - 7, I have to admit it was something I struggled with for about 10 years. I always loved food and was a scrawny kid. I never worried about what I ate, only about how I was going to eat more. Then overnight it seemed I developed curves. Puberty does that to girls. I would pile on layers of clothes because I felt fat. My well-meaning mom — who had joined Weight Watchers after she stopped having children to “learn how to eat properly” — told me I was probably going to be like her and would have to watch what

I ate. Unfortunately after that a little voice started nagging at me and as a result my eating habits involved either a feast or a famine. Often my school notebooks had calorie count lists. I’d write: tea with milk, 25 calories, peanut butter on a carrot, 200 calories.
It got to a point where I limited my food intake to less than 1,000 calories a day. I can remember drawing cartoons, depicting myself as suffering from too much fat on my thighs. Self-deprecation was the norm. The summer I turned 20, I discovered the Scarsdale Diet through a friend. Ideally people went on it for two weeks, but when 10 pounds peeled off, I kept it up for two years. I didn’t even allow myself the toast you could have with breakfast. And because you could eat all the carrots and celery you wanted, I did just that.
Every third day I’d pop into the corner store by our apartment block and purchase another five-pound bag of carrots. One Christmas when I was home visiting, my dad pulled me aside and asked if I’d started smoking. When I said “no,” and asked why he thought that, he told me I was pretty thin and my hands were orange. Looking down I realized they were quite orange. I chuckled and told him I was eating a lot of carrots, but inside I was horrified. I continued to struggle with eating until I met my future mother-in-law.
When she noticed that I only ate vegetables and protein she encouraged me to eat from all the food groups. “Just don’t ever leave the table feeling stuffed,” she suggested. Luckily her approach worked and I began to enjoy all foods without worrying about it and have been able to ever since. Recently I heard an interview where a Vancouver pastry chef said that in France woman never apologize for eating pastries. I sure hope their daughters are listening.

Teachers keep adapting, but not union
B.C. Views
with Tom Fletcher
The B.C. education ministry put on a forum on the future of education last week, bringing together public and private school leaders with experts from around the world. I watched the proceedings via webcast from the Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Vancouver, which gives you a hint about the forces pressing in on our century-old industrial model of schooling. First up was Andreas Schleicher, on video link from his office in Paris, where he is director of education and skills for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. He began with the international problem of people coming out of university who can’t find jobs, amid a skills shortage. Schleicher said this is happening today because, “it’s not what you know but what you can do with what you know.” Some education systems are adapting better than others as the value of merely passing on facts has declined. He said these days, almost any student can pass any multiplechoice test if they have a smartphone. The question for parents is what to do “if you want your child to be smarter than a smartphone.”
The OECD runs international testing that consistently ranks B.C. and Canada among the best schools in the world, and Schleicher described how that testing has evolved to keep up. But our progress in the past 10 years has tended to be slower than some Asian countries, despite B.C. being on the “high end of investment” in education. He warned against the trap of the industrial school model, “pouring money in” to “do more of the same.” Some of the best results emerging from a decade of digitallydriven globalization have been achieved through innovations that were financed through bigger class sizes, Schleicher said. This was too much for one B.C. Teachers’ Federation representative in the audience, who introduced herself as someone who spent the last transformational decade working for the union, not in a classroom. She disputed the OECD’s financial calculations, lecturing some of the world’s top economists that based on “spending power,” B.C. schools are cash starved. She followed this with the laundry list of BCTF demands that hasn’t changed in 40 years – smaller classes, more prep time, more money. The keynote speaker was Yong Zhao, University of Oregon professor of educational measurement, who gave a highly entertaining critique of standardized testing and creativity-crushing drills of the basics. (You can find a video archive at www.bcedplan.ca.) Yong sparked a lively discussion about the need for foundation skills, which he and others agreed remain vital to success. The issue seems to be how to instil those basics while avoiding the disengage-
ment of students who see school as irrelevant to their lives. Education Minister Peter Fassbender announced at the forum that the province is about to unveil new curriculum that moves toward individual learning for all students. And he said there will be a series of experiments conducted at yetto-be-identified B.C. schools to pioneer new models of learning. BCTF president Jim Iker sat
stoically through the proceedings, where speakers described integrating community groups and businesses directly with schools. That’s underway here, with trades training in particular. Iker’s record on adaptation is clear from his own career. The only school where he actually taught was in the northwest B.C. village of Topley, and it closed in 2010 due to a long-term decline in
rural students. By 2001 Iker had left the classroom to work for the Burns Lake teacher union local, which the BCTF continues to staff eight years after that school district and others disappeared through amalgamation.

WINTER GAMES BOUND
Angie Mindus photo
Timberkings Peter Arnold and André Chevigny, and Martin Kalin of Pioneer Log Homes load up a beautiful log entryway to send to Prince George last week for use during the upcoming Canada Winter Games. The entryway was originally built for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics and makes its home in front of the Pioneer Complex in Williams Lake when not on loan.
New forest tenure and log marketing system needed in B.C. An article by David Haley and Harry Nelson; Forest Sciences Centre UBC two papers by BC Competition Council described a B.C. forest industrial sector in a general state of decline. The coastal industry was in the worst condition with obsolete mills, high production costs, and a chronic shortage of new capital investment. The Interior industry was doing much better because of major investment and updates to state of the art mills but the success was unsustainable over the medium and long term. The success was mainly due to an increasing supply of inexpensive wood as a result of the mountain pine beetle epidemic. In its wake the epidemic will leave a massive decrease in available wood supplies, increased
Forest Ink Jim Hilton raw material prices, serious social problems and excessive mill manufacturing capacity relative to log availability. The Competition Council’s reports attribute the competitive plight of the forest industries to a number of factors, some external and beyond the control of the private or public sectors. Other factors are legal, socioeconomic, and institutional such as First Nations land claims, excessive regulation of and over dependence on publicly owned tim-
ber and a tenure system that fails to provide secure access to timber. The current B.C. forest tenure system is ill equipped to deal with the realities of the 21st century including the changing nature of the forest lands, new public attitudes, rising energy costs and increasing global competitiveness. Alternative models need to be explored that will allow the industry to adjust to global market forces, encourage innovation and give birth to a new spirit of entrepreneurialism. A new tenure system needs to be socially legitimate, flexible, transparent, secure, diverse, have minimum compliance costs and have an efficient and equitable timber pricing system. The authors discuss corporatization and privatization options that have been introduced in Ger-
many, Sweden, New Zealand and Australia which all have different institutional, political and cultural environments. In most cases there exists either a clear separation between timber producing plantations and natural forests or a consensus as to what lands are best suited for. In some cases it may be for timber production and in others it should be managed for non timber forest production and public goods. This clarity does not exist in B.C. and they suggest that definitive land use zoning should be a prerequisite to any major restructuring of the tenure system. For B.C. decentralization is a useful concept requiring further analysis. It addresses the need to create more competitive timber markets, places an emphasis on diversification of the tenure sys-
tem and helps promote economic efficiency. It may help to more clearly delineate private and public responsibilities in timber production as well as forestland management. It also provides a management role and a share in economic benefits to communities including first nations and regional authorities. This feature will be especially important as the forest industry embarks on major restructuring which the authors believe is necessary to ensure its long run economic viability. Jim Hilton is a professional agrologist and forester who has lived and worked in the Cariboo Chilcotin for the past 40 years. Now retired, Hilton still volunteers his skills with local community forests organizations.

Tatla Lake rallies for clinic with Have Heart fundraiser Linda-Lou Howarth Special to Tribune/Advisor Tatla Lake is at it again, stepping up to the plate to raise funds for the local health clinic. The West Chilcotin Health Care Society has made it known to the community that they are in dire need of state-of-the-art equipment that will aid in providing a higher level of care locally. Tatla Lake handles a great number of people requiring help or health care from the surrounding areas including Anahim Lake to Alexis Creek and homes in the off-road places –– one never knows who will be in the clinic requesting assistance, which the staff of the health centre cheerfully give them. The clinic is a threehour drive from Williams Lake, the nearest
hospital or pretty well same drive to Bella Coola, so therefore is a very important building out west. The fundraiser, Have Heart, is scheduled to take place on Feb. 14 at the Tatla Lake Community Hall. A potluck dinner will be served with doors opening at 5 p.m. and dinner begins at six p.m. And believe me, the community sure knows how to throw a mouthwatering meal! A $5 charge will be levied at the door, then you can bring your donation in and have it put in place. Wine and specialty coffee will be on sale, while coffee, tea and juice will be provided. Don’t forget your wallet, because after dinner and dessert the silent and live auction will begin at 8 p.m.. Most of the folks really enjoy the good-

Make cash not trash!

To donate any goods or services, call either Johanna Kirby at 250476-1339 or Selma Padgett, 250-476-1123.
Folks, let’s ring the phones off the hook with donations. The medical equipment hoped to be purchased through fundraising goals are as follows: • Cardiac Monitor/ Defibrillator for MedEvacs and clinic backup for $25,000. • Point of Care Laboratory Testing (POCY) plus supplies for $15,000. • Annual cost Laboratory POCT Supplies for $5,000. • IV Pump for $5,000. • Portable IV Pump for Med Evacs, $5,000. • Portable Ultrasound for $10,000. • Cast Cutter, $2,500. The clinic has been blessed with Doctor Rob Coetzee who arrived after Doctor Mike Smialowski retired. He is kept very busy with his patient load along with assisting with emergencies
as well as assisting the nurses with the various patients that require care. The staff consists of one full-time Registered Nurse, one part-time Registered Nurse, and a Nurse Practitioner who works out of the clinic with advanced notice; along with a flow of casual Registered Nurses on a casual basis who help with the workload. Most of the equipment they want to raise funds for will greatly help situations out as needed. So folks, we are asking for donations and inviting you to come out to Tatla Lake for a night to get to know our wonderful community hospitality. We will show you how it is done in Tatla Lake and we will become ‘The Little Town that Did,” raising the funds needed for the Health Clinic. The scenic drive is well worth it too.

Homage paid to theatre founder Williams Lake Studio Theatre is gearing up to celebrate its 60th season with two short plays written by Gwen Ringwood, the theatre’s founder. Still Stands the House is from early in her career and is the story of a family coming apart. Garage Sale is a later play about an older couple finding themselves. Cathie Hamm will be directing Still Stands the House while Sylvia Swift will direct Garage Sale. Producer is Mary-Jo Hilyer. Proof Auditions The Williams Lake Studio Theatre Society is holding audi-

project came to a successful conclusion, with the ranch owner working alongside roundtable members Steve Hocquard and Judy Hillaby, with about a month of work invested. The Roundtable also heard how three days were spent cleaning up the Horsefly dump hauling old cars, stoves, fridges, freezers and such from the old Horsefly dumpsite on Black Creek Road, and hauling huge truckloads of scrap metal from along the river. We are applying for funding to improve fish habitat on Wilmot, Sucker, Black and Tisdall Creeks. This funding all depends on funding from different sources.

The Roundtable is working on stewardship projects, and has two in mind for 2015, namely joining the “Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup,” and joining the rest of Canada on a specific day yet to be decided this coming September. Other projects we will be working on include the small mouth bass, Ardcorp environmental group plan, and improved accessibility to the campsite across the bridge, and our signage project which will incorporate First Nations language/symbols along the spawning channel. The Mount Polley situation was discussed in as much as we have concerns regarding the effect of the effluent dispersed on the bottom
of Quesnel Lake on the resident fish population as well as the young fry from the 2014 Sockeye spawn, and these results will not be evident for some time. The Hen Ingram power project was discussed, and we were quite surprised to find the manager of the Crown Land office in Williams Lake somehow had the impression the Roundtable approved of this project. This is not true and the group continues to be 100 per cent opposed to the Hen Ingram Project. Next up for the Horsefly Roundtable is its Annual General Meeting which will take place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 19, 2015 at the Horsefly Public Library.
Effective February 10, 2015, I, Don Brown of Don Brown & Son Plumbing & Heating Inc. am retiring from the company. At this time I would like to thank the people of Williams Lake and surrounding areas including the Chilcotin for their years of support. It has been a pleasure working for you. I moved to Williams Lake in 1984 and worked for Burgess Plumbing & Heating until the fall of 1997. I left Burgess to start my own company in 1997 and added my son, Jim, as a partner to the business in 1999. The business will continue to be a part of this community and run by my son Jim Brown and his capable staff. Again I thank you for your support. Sincerely, Don Brown

Yunesit’in youth wins scholarship After three years living away from family and friends to pursue his education, student life became a little bit easier for a 21-year-old Williams Lake-area student in his third year at the University of Victoria. James Smith, 21, was awarded an Irving K. Barber BC Aboriginal Student Award for the second time in 2014, for a total of $4,500 received from the Irving K. Barber Scholarship Society. “I’m very grateful that I received the scholarship,” says Smith. “It makes it so much easier to be comfortable and I’m able to travel to visit my family.” The BC Aboriginal Student Award is available for Aboriginal people pursuing postsecondary education and is intended to improve access to education for Aboriginal students. In 2014, the Irving K. Barber British Columbia Scholarship
James Smith Society granted a total of $917,500 to a record 310 Aboriginal students in B.C. to support their studies at post-secondary colleges and universities throughout the province. Coming from Yunesit’in (Stone), 160 kilometres west of Williams Lake, Smith is no stranger to being pulled away from his family to pursue an education. To complete his high school diploma, Smith moved the distance to Williams Lake and in September 2011, he moved another 640 kilometres to Victoria to pursue his lifelong

dream to study engineering. “I’m so proud of James,” Yunesit’in Chief Russ Myers Ross told the Tribune. “At a very early age he was interested in physics and engineering projects. Math was always a breeze for him.” Ross said he is hopeful that once Smith graduates from university he will return to his community to work on some alternative energy projects. “He was able to do a geothermal project at Toosey with their new health centre as part of a co-op program,” Ross added. Smith has just finished his third year towards an engineering degree, with a minor in electrical engineering. While it’s been difficult to be so far from his family, scholarships have changed the way he experiences student life. “Before, there was very little money left-
THE
over after paying rent and bills,” says Smith, “With the scholarship, I can actually get more food and clothes — it makes life much easier.” He’s also able to travel home between semesters, which he wouldn’t be able to do without student awards. He says his visits home to reconnect with his family and community go a long way. Moving to Victoria was a dramatic lifestyle shift for Smith. In his spare time at home, he had access to tools and wide-open spaces. He would spend time in the woods, weld broken items for neighbours, ride horses, camp, fish, gather, grow and prepare food, and spend most of his time with his community. In Victoria, on the other hand, he puts in long hours reading and studying and spends a lot of time on his own. “My interest in the material keeps me going,” says Smith. “My

goal is to get into renewable energy like wind and solar — helping remote communities move away from diesel generators which are terribly expensive.” It’s also been a big adjustment to incorporate fitness into his student life. Student life requires him to carve out time specifically for exercise. Going to the gym, running and yoga are ways that Smith stays healthy while studying. Despite the sacrifices that Smith has makes to pursue his education, he’s excited about the next chapter of university life and looks forward to applying his education to help rural communities like his own in the future.

If you are a snow person, you will certainly like the weather we have had in the last week. Lots of snow for snowmobilers, cross country skiing and some sledding down the hills. The weather has not been really cold recently and that suits me fine. February is generally the worst month of winter, so we are not to far away from seeing the little spring chutes of flowers and herbs popping up in our gardens. Or, is that just wishful thinking? As folks get older winter does not hold the same kind of magic it did when we were younger and I suspect that is the reason we have a lot of snowbirds in Canada because they go away to the warm spots for a few months. The First Annual Winter Carnival in Williams Lake was a success and we managed to get good weather for that event. Congrats to the organizers. Lots of people enjoying the winter activities in the park. My friend e-mailed me this recipe a couple of months ago but I only got around to trying this dish a week ago.

Body Connection
My name is Joe Amaral. I am 63 years old. I am Vegan although I am not a true Vegan as I still wear leather shoes. I am happily married to a wonderful woman and I have two beautiful daughters. As of late I am a jeweler and as of now, I am a full time Healing Facilitator. I am Not a Doctor, or a Naturopath or a Nutritionist or a Healer. What I am is a HEALING FACILITATOR, in other words my job is to HELP YOU obtain good health using the rules of physics and chemistry. In order to be able to do this, I have taken various courses such as Usui Reiki, Tibetian Reiki, Karuna Ki, Healing Touch, Basic Shiatsu, Basic Massage, EFT, TFT, Cranio Sacral Therapy, Somato Emotional Therapy, Lymph Drainage, Bodyworkz and more. I also went to the School of Hard Knocks where I learned (through experimentation and trial and error) a lot about my body and how it works. When it comes to pain I want it gone ASAP, I don’t like it so I learned to resolve it. Sometimes it can be quite a challenge. I believe that the body is an incredible “machine” capable of self healing. After all when you cut yourself, the body heals itself without any intervention. My job is to help the body get back on track so it can do it’s job. The body is very delicately balanced and when it is out of balance, it produces symptoms to let you know that it is out of balance. An analogy is like the oil light in your car. When it comes on (the symptom - pain - discomfort) it is telling you that the oil pressure is down. What this means is that you probably have a leak somewhere. The tricky part is finding where the leak is. Once it is found, you replace the gasket and the oil light goes out. Pain is your friend. It is the oil light that lets you know you have a problem. Because the body is so delicately balanced, it produces symptoms to let you know it is out of balance. For example, if you twist your ankle, you receive immediate pain and your ankle swells up (body out of balance). As a Healing Facilitator, I would use physics to rebalance your ankle and have you walking pain free in a matter of 5 minutes providing that there is no torn muscle tissue or cracked or broken bones. I have done this on myself on a couple of occasions and on some of my clients. One client came in using a crutch and left carrying the crutch. Another example, I have a few clients with migraine headaches and although most of them have the same symptoms the solution can be quite different. One client I was able to use physics (cranial sacral therapy) successfully and the other I had to use chemistry (diet change). I have found that within half an hour of ingesting certain foods,my blood pressure rises from 121/69 to 136/74 (chemistry out of balance). I take a specific supplement and within half an hour my blood pressure is back to normal

Williams Lake Film Club screens Antonia’s Line Krista Liebe Special to Tribune/Advisor I am really looking forward to show you our next film, Antonia’s Line. It is a wonderful film about the cycles of life, spanning about 50 years –– earthy, funny and sexy. The movie is in Dutch with English subtitles and runs 102 minutes. Antonia’s Line is rated R, is a comedy/ drama and was released in 1996.
After the Second World War Antonia returns to her childhood village in Holland, together with her teenage daughter. Antonia greets her old friends, among them Russian Olga, who runs the café and is an undertaker and midwife, Crooked Finger, who lives in a room with his books and bitterly insists on the futility of life, and Mad Madonna, who howls at the moon because, as a Catholic,
she cannot marry her Protestant lover. And there is also farmer Bas, who comes courting one day with his five sons and makes a proposal of marriage as his boys need a mother. Antonia tells him: “You can’t have my hand, but you can have the rest.” The film is a great mix of magic realism we know from Latin America, dour European philosophies of death,

Freedom God is all about freedom. Freedom of thought and action is one of the foundation principles of God’s universe. Genuine deep love and affection can only exist in the presence of freedom of choice. In recent weeks, especially since the killings in Paris, there has been much talk about freedom. It is clear that fear and insecurity created by all the terror and uncertainty today is the greatest risk to our freedoms in a free society. I have had the amazing privilege to live for over six decades in our free Canadian society. The chance, with little money, to attend six universities in two countries. The ability to make choices and prosper with only a few rules that protect life is not to be taken for granted. Freedom is a broad concept including meaning the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement; exemption from external control; the power to determine action without restraint; personal liberty, as opposed to bondage or slavery. The greatest risks to freedom are political systems led by ruthless men. When we examine religious systems including Christian organizations we discover that they also restrict and control. Some even attempt to force and manipulate both believers and nonbelievers into their way of thought and life. Some think this is God’s will. Scripture and the life of Jesus demonstrates that restriction of freedom for the purpose of control and domination is not the way or
PARSONS PEN
BY CAMERON JOHNSTON intent of God. The spiritual reality revealed through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus is that every human being is given, as a gift from God, the ability to choose life with God rather than die a hopeless death. Freedom, like all the great gifts of God, come with a few simple rules to protect its benefits. Fire, a great blessing in controlled situations, with no restrictions kills and destroys. Food, needed to sustain life, yet too much or the wrong kinds destroys life. The list goes on to family, work and knowledge. Receiving the benefit without the risks requires obedience to a few simple rules. So it is with freedom. Scripture is clear. Humans were created to enjoy life in a perfect and happy
environment. Obedience to a few simple rules ensured this good life would last forever. The primary expectation from our creator was the maintaining of a meaningful and trusting relationship with the source of all life. The cause of all the pain and suffering we see and experience daily on our planet is the direct result of the breaking of a few rules designed to protect us. Our first parents choose to attempt to go it alone without God. This was open rebellion and a rejection of God’s sovereignty. Yet God would not let mankind go without a fight. Thus a probationary time when a redeemer could come and show us our mistake and deliver us from our own rebellion. This is what the life of Jesus Christ is all about. Giving mankind a second chance to choose love and enjoy their creator. All religion operates on the principle that I obey, therefore, I am accepted. The Christian good news operates on the principle that I am accepted on the basis of what Jesus has done, therefore, I obey. Chew on that last thought. It could literally change your life. The truth is that Jesus has done all the hard work. You simply need to exercise your gift of freedom to choose him as your friend. He will not only put your life together with joy and peace but will give you blessings beyond belief. Will you today simply say,“Help?”

Ross Campbell, Jaryn Campbell, Doug Warwick, Doug Gassoff, Logan Lybeck, Devon Hill, Patrick Kniec, Brayden Smid, Jesse WallaceWebb and Russell Waterhouse were among 16 participants in this past weekend’s BC Hockey Officiating Mentorship clinic, which took place during the Williams Lake Bantam Rep Tournament.
Officials take part in mentorship program Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Budding referees kept their whistles at the ready during the weekend when Williams Lake played host to the BC Hockey Officiating Mentorship clinic. Sixteen participants aged 12 to 19 from Williams Lake, 100 Mile House and Quesnel donned their officiating stripes among Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association executive members, volunteer parents, Williams Lake referee in chief Doug Warwick, Cariboo officiating coordinator Ross Campbell and BC Hockey officiating development co-ordinator Larry Krause for a training and mentorship weekend during the Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves Tier 2 Tournament Jan. 30 to Feb. 1. “Last year at about this time BC Hockey’s executive put together a plan to mentor, train and equip officials across the province,” Krause told the Tribune. “We’ve got 4,500 certified officials in B.C. and the Yukon, so they decided to target 95 tournaments across the province, including Wil-

ation Complex. From Williams Lake referees included Ryan Roberts, Alex Kitsul, Marcus Kennedy, Cameron Prest, Patrick Kniec, Jesse Wallace-Webb, Benn Taylor, Brayden Smid, Russell Waterhouse, Devon Hill and Laurel White, with Doug Gassoff, Jaryn Campbell and Logan Lybeck partici-
pating from Quesnel, and Brandon Balbirnie taking part from 100 Mile House. Krause said the transformation they see in the referees in such a short amount of time is amazing. “It’s incredible what you see out of the students,” he said. “We teach a lot of the skills coaches are looking for out of their players. Game sense, skating, mobility, quick decision making and then, of course, game management, procedures, signals, where to stand, awareness of players and their tendencies and communication.” The stress involved with managing a hockey game can be difficult for a young referee, Krause explained. “A 12- or 13-year-old young man or young woman is now expected to carry authority and expected to communicate with an adult in an adult conversation, explain Hockey Canada’s guidelines, rulebook and procedures and ensure every game is fair and safe,” he said. “That’s a lot on the shoulders, especially sometimes when you’ve got parents in the stands who may or may not have played the game and may not have any
understanding, let alone the rules.” He pointed to Taylor — who is already qualified to referee competitive minor hockey and is one of the more senior youth officials in the lakecity — as a shining example of a young referee showing a lot of promise to advance in the field. “I’m absolutely optimistic at some point he’s going to be a regular member of the staff,” Krause said. “He’s got all the ability — outstanding skating style, good speed, he sees the ice well and his penalty selection is above average. It’s just up to him how far he takes it.” One of the most important things BC Hockey has set out to do through the mentorship program, Krause said, is to provide young officials with an opportunity. “This year BC Hockey and the WLMHA have spent more money developing officials,” he said. “It’s a great time [to get into it]. We’re always looking for more — either kids or adults — because they find there’s a fraternity, a camaraderie and friendship that happens.”
After a tough 6-5 loss this past Saturday against the Quesnel Kangaroos in game one of the Central Interior Hockey League East Division Final, the Williams Lake Stampeders will be fighting for their playoff lives at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex this Saturday, Feb. 7 and, if necessary, Sunday, Feb. 8, for games two and three.

Why You Need Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More...
W. Gifford-Jones, MD
V
itamin C is arguably the single most important water soluble antioxidant in the human body. Antioxidants play a key role in protecting cells against free radicals, which can cause damage and play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases. It’s tragic that researchers are unaware that high doses of vitamin C and lysine cannot only prevent, but reverse atherosclerosis in coronary and other arteries in the body. Vitamin C is needed for the manufacture of collagen, the glue that holds cells together. A lack of vitamin C means poor collagen, resulting in cracks appearing between coronary cells thus setting the stage for fatal blood clot. Recently, Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, made this monumental discovery. He took photos of the retinal arteries and then gave patients 6,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 5,000 of lysine (lysine adds strength to coronary arteries just like steel rods increase the strength of concrete). A year later he repeated the pictures. To his surprise, he found atherosclerosis fading away. Millions of North Americans also suffer from osteoarthritis. Without sufficient vitamin C to produce collagen, a major component of cartilage, bone eventually grinds on bone. There would be fewer joint replacements if more vitamin C were available to produce healthy collagen. Rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory type, also requires large doses of vitamin C. Every moment of the day our bodies are using oxygen to keep us alive. But oxidation results in metabolic ash, known as “free radicals”, which are believed to trigger an inflammatory reaction in joints. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to reduce damaging free-radicals.
Patients often appear surprised when I tell them that vitamin C will help them keep their teeth a lifetime. By age 65 one in five North Americans has lost all their teeth and many of their teeth were normal. Rather, it was the gums that could no longer hold teeth firmly in place in part due to inadequate amounts of vitamin C. This vitamin is needed in large amounts to produce healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together and keeps gums healthy. Without good mortar bricks fall apart and the same happens when gums lacking collagen lose their grip on teeth.

The Williams Lake Bullets Speed Skating Club fired off a second-place team result last weekend at the Kamloops Coyote Cup. “Due to all the hard work of the skaters our club came in second place and took home the runner-up Coyote Cup trophy for a non-Kamloops club with the highest total points,” said Bullets manager, Wendy Reissner. “Last year we just missed this getting beaten out by the Vernon club.”

This year, the Bullets skated past Prince George and Vernon to the result in enthusiastic fashion. “The announcer for the tournament said that in all his years of speed skating meets he has never seen the enthusiasm as the Williams Lake team,” Wendy said. “When he looked out in the stands all he could see was the sea of green hats and signs and hear the cheers of our skaters.” On top of the team results individual skaters brought home medals and gained personal bests in most of their races. Each skater raced in four events ranging from 50 metres (division one with Williams Lake’s youngest skater at six years old), to 1,200 metres (the older skaters in division four). Races included 50 metres, 100 metres, 200 metres, 300 metres, 400 metres and 1,200 metres, all conducted on 100-metre tracks. For four of the club’s skaters, it was
their first speed skating meet ever. In division one Preston Sigsworth and Brayden Folland both skated to gold medals. Division two saw Brooke Bennison race to a silver medal, while Ella Carson won an iron medal (fourth), with Nayeli Doerner nabbing copper (fifth). In division three Colby Bennison won gold, Emily Swan, Garrett Fischer, Madelyn Feist and Veronica Keats claimed silver, Drew Woodford and Sophie Reissner nabbed bronze, Amy Swan, Cadence Halfnights and Leah Lauren won iron and Phoenix Sigsworth skated to copper. Division four’s Ty Lauren and Amy Swan both raced to iron medals. “It was an amazing meet in Kamloops and our skaters were outstanding,” Wendy said. “Not only did each and every one of them place, but it was a great experience and loads of fun.”

Turners wax competition at BC Cup Under much more co-operative weather than race one of the BC Cup Series, two Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club members glided to Revelstoke last weekend for the second stop of the tour. Both Cole Turner and Grace Turner of Williams Lake had an excellent two-day race weekend. Grace, in the girls bantam one division, skied to seventh place in the classic event on Saturday, then took eighth place in the skating event on Sunday. With the results Grace is now closing the gap on the leaders in the division, and said she’s looking forward to continuing the trend at the championship finals hosted by Kelowna in a couple of weeks. Cole, meanwhile, had his best weekend of the
season. Coming off two bronze placements last month in Prince George, he skied to a first-place tie with a skier from Sovereign Lakes, Vernon, who was touted as the skier to beat after placing first in Western Nationals held in Canmore, Alta. On day two Cole overcame some adversity after being randomly seeded 30th out of 31 skiers for the mass start of the race. He said he was disappointed with his backrow starting position, however, didn’t let it affect his performance. During the race Cole worked his way through the pack on the first uphill of the course and managed to pass 29 skiers on his way to a second-place finish where he came to within 1.2 seconds of the leader.

Flinton in action at 2015 Winter Universiade Williams Lake’s Julia Flinton is currently carrying out her dream of representing Canada at the 2015 Winter Universiade in Granada, Spain. The 21-year-old University of Saskatchewan Huskies defenceman was named to the team by Canadian Interuni-
versity Sport (CIS) late October as one of 20 university players in the country. On Wednesday Canada opened its tournament with a 7-1 drubbing of Kazakhstan. Flinton and her Canadian teammates’ next action comes in the form of Russia on Sun-
day, Feb. 8. At the tournament Canada is pooled with Kazakhstan and Russia in group ‘B,’ while the U.S., China, Japan and Spain round out group ‘A.’ The Winter Universiade is an international sporting and cultural festival for student ath-
letes staged every two years in a different city and second only to the Olympic games. The women’s hockey semifinals are slated for Feb. 11, while the tournament final goes Feb. 12. For tournament results visit www.granada2015.org.

sions at a Family Day event at Lake Of The Trees Bible Camp. Bring your family, and your sleds, skates and hockey sticks if you have them, and show up at the LOTT on Family Day (Feb. 9). Camp director Tom McIntosh says a winter activities day held at New Years went so well, he and his family and crew decided to do it all over again and invite the community. They hope the regular campers and their families will also bring friends out so more folks can see the camp. Enjoy a host of activities along with hot beverages, a soup-andbun lunch, and bonfires by the lake while you check out the Biblecentred summer camp and what it has to offer. “We are not just enjoying the winter wonderland; we are also inviting people to experience the beauty and the community that we work to introduce others to.” The “water-slide
luge” is a unique opportunity to slip and slide, or sled down the summertime waterslide onto the lake, he says. The lake has been kept clear of snow in three areas for winter recreation. “We have one for a hockey area, one for kind of a speed loop and another one is just a general skate area closer to the shore where the bonfires will be.” Entry is by a suggested donation of $10 each or $40 per family to help cover costs. There will be give-aways and a chance to win a free, full week of camp. To find LOTT, follow Canim-Hendrix Lake Road to Forest Grove Store, go straight onto Eagle Creek Road and follow it two kilometres to Wilcox Road (turn left), seven km to Dempsey Lake Road (turn left), and continue another 3.5 km to the camp. For more information, call 250-791-5502.

Donald George Mayfield of Williams Lake, BC, died peacefully at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital on the morning of January 31, 2015, due to complications from heart disease. Donald was born on October 11, 1940, the second child of Melvin and Patricia Mayfield of the 141 Mile House Ranch. He grew up on the Alkali Lake and Springhouse ranches and attended school in Williams Lake. After his parents sold Springhouse, he worked as a ranch hand in the Cariboo and a long-haul truck driver in the United States. He settled in the Kamloops area in the mid-1970s and trained as a machinist at the Highland Valley copper mine in Logan Lake until his retirement in 2004. Donald was president of the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship for a number of years. He met Anita in 2002 in Kamloops and they were married soon after. They were active in the Kamloops Full Gospel Tabernacle and in the River of Life Church. In 2012, they moved to Williams Lake, where they joined the congregation of the Calvary Church. Throughout his life, he enjoyed most sports but was happiest in the country, especially with a boat and a fishing pole. He is survived by his wife, Anita, Anita’s sons, Ken Budzak of Surrey and Eric Budzak of Williams Lake, her grandchildren, Katana and Noah Hill and Autumn Budzak, his brothers Philip and Gordon of Williams Lake and Roy of Kirkland, Washington. A memorial service will be held at 1 PM February 7, 2015, at Calvary Church, 620 Carson Drive, Williams Lake, BC.
