tionships with others.” 1Bullinger provides an orientation for teachers, but said it’s the teachers and principals who carry out the work. Communities that Care has purchased kits for principals to use in the schools and each week Bullinger distributes a word of the week for the students. This week’s word is friendship. “I work with teachers to figure out what works for them,” she said. Presently classrooms at Mountview, Cataline, Nesika and Marie Sharpe elementary schools are par-

ticipating in the program, although Bullinger said the goal is to have as many of the schools participating as possible. “It’s important for students to have a sense of belonging, to create connectedness and talk about it every day,” she said. “We know that’s what prevents bullying.” Throughout Williams Lake events are planned to mark the day, including a student-led assembly at Lake City Secondary’s Williams Lake Campus where the leadership class is presenting a bullying awareness assembly in the gym on

Wednesday morning. In the afternoon the class will take the assembly to the Columneetza campus. At Likely, the elementary school has purchased pink T-shirts for all the students and staff. Alexis Creek elementary is holding a competition for best designed anti-bullying pink shirt logo. The winner’s logo will become next year’s logo on the pink shirts ordered for the school. “ I can’t take credit for the idea though, one of our Grade 5 students came up with it,” principal Shane Sliziak said.

Uncertainty surrounds rights and title decision Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Uncertainty was one thing participants at a recent public meeting said they had in common surrounding the 2014 Tsilhqot’in Rights and Title decision. B.C.’s Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation John Rustad said Friday he understood how everyone felt but admitted the government doesn’t know yet how the case will unfold for non-First Nations living and working in the 1,900 square kilometre title area. Rustad was speaking in Williams Lake at a meeting that attracted around 60 ranchers, guide outfitters, tourism operators, local government politicians and the Chamber of Commerce. “If it was just straight common law, it would be theirs,” Rustad said. “But right now we, and they, are trying to figure out how we work together with all the exist-

B.C.’s Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation John Rustad discusses the Tsilhqot’in Rights and Title decision during a recent public meeting. ing tenures so that you can still carry on with all that you are doing.” Instead of paying the province an annual fee for permits or licences for example, those fees will probably be paid to the Tsilhqot’in, Rustad offered as a possibility. Every aspect of the agreements First Nations make with the

province around the title case have to be taken back to the membership for approval, Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William told the Tribune. “At the end of the day this all goes through membership to ratify agreement,” William said. “We are a long ways from that.

We are looking at some interim agreements and mapping out long-term agreements. At the end of March we will have a good idea how serious B.C. is and what they are willing to do.” Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said she invited Rustad to Williams Lake on Friday because First

Highway collision near Lac La Hache claims one life Highway 97 was closed in both directions for almost 12 hours following a fatal collision near Lac La Hache Thursday evening. Emergency crews from 100 Mile House and Lac La Hache along with 100 Mile RCMP and CaribooChilcotin Traffic Services responded to the incident on Highway 97 just south of

the Lac La Hache Provincial Campsite on Feb. 19 at about 11:30 p.m. The collision involved a northbound tractor trailer unit and a southbound pick-up truck. Rescue crews were able to extract a female passenger who was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The 36-year-old

male driver, who had been working in Terrace, was pronounced dead at the scene. The name of the driver is currently being withheld. The driver of the tractor-trailer unit was uninjured. Highway 97 was open to single lane traffic around 10:30 Friday morning. Light traffic was able to use a detour during

the closure. A North District Traffic Services collision re-constructionist assisted in the investigation. The cause of the crash was unknown at press time but it is believed that road and weather conditions may have been a contributing factor, with rain and hail falling throughout the early evening.

Nations and non-First Nations in the Chilcotin need certainty. “There are a lot of people whose livelihoods depend on it and it’s very difficult not knowing what tomorrow is going to bring,” Barnett said. During the meeting Rustad heard repeatedly that many people are feeling left in the dark. Private land owner Nancy Oppermann asked if people can feel confident that things like road and RCMP services will be provided during the transition period. “We did see a real resistance last year in the RCMP services as well as road services as soon as the decision came out in June,” Oppermann said. “But at the end of the day there should be a responsibility on the part of government for these lands within the title area that are being taxed.” Bed and Breakfast operator Jon Tanis has lived and worked in Nemiah Valley for many

years and agreed the rights and title case is complex and precedent setting. “Many of us have great relationships with the Xeni Gwet’in people,” Tanis said, adding the only communication from government he’s had since the decision was a letter advising him he couldn’t hunt. “I know you don’t know a lot, but even if you could just tell us that. It’s better than silence,” Tanis told Rustad. Friedrich Dieck runs a trapline in the Chilcotin. Prior to the court decision, 300 square kilometres of his trapline area was removed and returned to First Nations, he said, adding after the court decision he lost another 200 square kilometres and a good cabin. “I never received any written notice or spoken notice that I lost the right on this area. I think this is absolutely wrong.”

Rustad promised to create a data base collecting contact information for everyone living within the title area to establish better communication. The provincial government fought for 25 years in court with the Tsilhqot’in, butting heads, and having nothing but problems, Rustad said. Since the title case decision the two governments have set out on a path to work together. “They have been very good to work with as we try to resolve very complex issues,” Rustad said. “The relationship has changed, which is positive, and it still has a long way to go.” Guide outfitters were the only group told they can expect some certainty for the upcoming season. “My understanding is that the Tsilhqot’in have said carry on with the guide outfitting for the next year while we continue to work this thing through,” Rustad confirmed.

Tribune up for photo award The finalists for the British Columbia and Yukon Community News Association Ma Murray Awards were announced earlier this week and the Williams Lake Tribune is in the running. Tribune editor Angie Mindus has been named as a finalist in the Spot News Photo Award. Mindus placed in the finals with her shot of members of the Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department responding to a fully engulfed house fire in the community in April. Mindus is up against The Interior News’ Chris Gareau and The Similkameen Spotlight’s Margaret Fraser for the award. Awards will be handed out at a gala Saturday, April 25 at the River Rock Casino Resort.

Tribal Chief wins fourth term Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Chief Joe Alphonse has been re-elected at Tl’etinqox-t’in (Anaham) First Nation in Sunday’s band council election for a fourth consecutive two-year term. In the election for Chief, Alphonse received 142 votes, narrowly beating out Gerald Johnny who received 122 votes. Chief candidate Sidney Harry got 34, Deborah Ilnicki 30, Anthony Billyboy 24 and Rosanna Stump three. The 12 people elected for the councillor positions including Randy Billyboy, Dona Cooper,

Eleanor Cooper, Emily Dick, Harvey Dick, Daana Gilpin, Cecil Grinder, Dustin Hance, Isidore Harry, Therrien Harry, Gerald Johnny and Cyril Pigeon. “We have five new council members and seven from the previous council,” Alphonse said. Johnny, who was Chief before Alphonse, said the fact he didn’t get elected Chief but was elected as a councillor is not a set back. “It’s probably a stepping stone for me to be a councillor,” he told the Tribune. “We need to have serious discussions about our land issues and put

our federal and provincial leaders to task.” During the campaign, Johnny said he heard lots of concerns about any future mining. Alphonse said the new council will meet soon to identify portfolios, roles and responsibilities, followed by a community celebration with a signing and swearing in. “Two of the council members who did not get back in represented us on a couple of significants seats,” he said. “Paul Grinder sat on the Punky Lake Wilderness Camp board and Leslie Stump sat on the Denisiqi Services Society board. We will be

determining who is most appropriate and willing to sit on either of those.” Alphonse said community members often want to see their membership in the community, but to get big projects in Anaham the Chief has to be out there trying to make that happen, so the plan is give councillors more responsibilities when he is away from the community. “We will continue with our rights and title negotiations with the province and try to figure out a strategy to work with the federal government.” Community safety and related social issues are also a priority along with

job creation and development, he added. “I think this past year we’ve created more opportunity in our community than we’ve ever had,” Alphonse said. “We need to sit down and do more long-term planning around economics for our community. At the end of March our community will emerge from a deficit for the first time in 30 years.” When Alphonse became Chief he requested a forensic audit of the band’s past financial history and said once council is sworn in the results of the audit will be shared with the community.

Police searching for arson suspect

A Step Ahead

Williams Lake RCMP are investigating an act of arson which destroyed one vehicle and damaged another in the early morning hours Monday. Staff Sgt. Del Byron of the Williams Lake RCMP said on-duty police officers noticed a plume of smoke rising from the 500 block of Ninth Avenue at 1:25 a.m., Feb.

23 and arrived on scene to discover a vehicle fully engulfed in flames. Byron said when residents went outside to observe the emergency response to the burning vehicle, another vehicle was found with its passenger door open and the seat on fire. He said the fire was quickly put out by the

owner with “a bag of cheezies.” Both incidents are under investigation and Byron is asking residents to ensure their vehicles are locked and parked in well-lit areas. On Feb 21 at 11:41 p.m. police received a report of a suspicious person prowling around a back yard in the 2000

block of Commodore Crescent. Byron said in this incident, the suspect tried to open a back patio door before leaving on foot. The matter is under investigation. On Feb. 22 at 3:25 a.m. police received a report of a smash and grab at Connect Wireless and Noodle California at Prosperity

Way. Byron said officers discovered windows and doors to the businesses smashed. Several iPhones and iPads were taken from Connect Wireless. Anyone with information on any of these crimes is asked to contact the RCMP or CrimeStoppers.

Next Steps Charted for Sam Ketcham Pool Renovations Following a successful public information process, the November 15, 2014 referendum to enable the Cariboo Regional District to borrow up to $10 million for the Sam Ketcham Pool Upgrade passed with a support level of 68 per cent. The Sam Ketcham Pool, located in the West Fraser Aquatic Centre at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex will undergo an extensive renovation upgrade over the next two years. The next step in the project will focus on the procurement of the necessary consultants for development of detailed designs. The drafting of the procurement documents is in progress, as is the collection of all existing background reports and materials. A Sam Ketcham Pool Project Working Group has been formed and the Terms of Reference have been established. This group will guide the detailed design and construction process, including procuring and working with architectural, engineering and other consultants as required; and engage key stakeholder groups and the public as appropriate throughout the project. A preliminary high level timeline for the project is as follows: 2015 January • Establishment of the Project Working Group February and March • Initiate procurement for i) architectural design services, ii) development of the traffic flow and parking plan, iii) Project Management services. April and May • Award of service contracts for the above components at the scheduled joint committee meeting(s), with endorsement to follow by the Regional District Board. May to November • Development of schematic, detailed design and construction drawings. 2016 January Request for Qualifications process to short list general contractors February and March Tender process for construction April Sixteen to twenty month construction process begins. 2017 October – estimated date of construction completion. To support the project, the Regional District and the City continue to pursue funding from other sources and have applied to the Northern Development Initiative Trust for $650,000 and the Federal Gas Tax Strategic Priorities Fund administered by the Union of BC Municipalities for $4 million. If the applications are successful, it will reduce the amount of funding the Regional District must borrow for the project and save local taxpayers those financing costs. It is expected that the success of these applications will be known later this year.

Ranchers step up to offer anti-bullying training Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Alkali Lake Ranch managers Liz and Bronc Twan don pink shirts as part of the 2014 Williams Lake Stampede Sunday performance. The couple will be dressing in pink again Wednesday as they host an anti-bullying seminar for their staff on Pink Shirt Day. explained. “I work with them to effect their health and safety programs and help them be in compliance with the regulation.” In other cases the training comes as a result of a WorkSafeBC inspection that has identified the need for the seminar. In his capacity as ranch safety consultant he follows up. Where there’s an

ongoing requirement or need for antibullying training, he makes sure there’s a staff member that’s trained with the ability to present the material to other employees. “I help them design the material and make sure it works for the regulations, compliance and that organization.” Twan said in this day and age it’s hard

to find ranch hands. “I joked to someone that we wouldn’t dare bully an employee, we couldn’t afford it,” she said. A new report released by the Conference Board of Canada, calls for employers to adopt proactive strategies to recognize and address increasing levels and the costly impact of workplace bullying.

Pink shirt day will move out of the schools and onto the land when staff at a ranch in the Cariboo take an anti-bullying seminar. “All ranches are required to take the course,” said Liz Twan who along with her husband Bronc manage the Alkali Lake Ranch where the seminar will be held Wednesday. “When I booked the seminar I knew it was anti-bullying day so I bought pink shirts, pink coffee cups and pink paper plates.” The seminar is taught by provincial ranch safety consultant Reg Steward, a contractor with the Farm and Ranch Safety and Health Association (FARSHA). Employers and work places are required through WorksafeBC to be educated in the procedure to report bullying in the workplace, understanding what it is and what it is not, Steward told the Tribune. “It’s become part of the employer’s responsibility to make sure their workers are well-versed in an understanding of what it is to be a bully or be bullied and how to deal with it,” Steward said, adding each employer is required to have a process in place for reports and investigations. Steward has been presenting the seminar for FARSHA since the fall of 2014 to all sectors of Agriculture throughout the province. The seminar is made available to any employer in the field. Seminars are arranged after employers contact him and vice versa. “Some employers are aware of the requirements,” Steward

“Bullying is not just a problem in schools,” said Ruth Wright, director of leadership and human resources with the board. “We’re seeing more instances of bullying in the workplace and employers need to recognize that workplace bullying is happening and that there are costs if the issue is ignored or poorly handled.” Bullying in the workplace has an impact on the organization as a whole and reflects a negative culture as well as performance and reputation, Wright added. The report, Workplace Bullying Primer: What Is It and How to Deal With It, examines the issue of bullying in workplaces, the causes, and associated organizational and individual costs. It suggests that employers, who could be held legally responsible, need to take greater responsibility to address this detrimental behaviour.

“I don’t need another pair of boots,” said NO WOMAN EVER

In order for a request to be considered by the review panel, it must be submitted in writing and received at the Williams Lake office of the Cariboo Regional District at least 48 hours prior to the sitting of the Parcel Tax Roll Review Panel on March 9, 2015.

Finger pointing

Pink Shirt Day

HIGH FIVE

n April 24, the International Association for Impact Assessment’s Western and Northern Canada Affiliate (I didn’t make that up) is hosting a full day session in Victoria to discuss the processes and practices of environmental assessment in B.C. IAIAWSNCA members are from federal and territorial governments, consultancies, co-management boards, industries and NGOs. The goal is to promote and develop best practices for B.C.’s Environment Assessment Office “to provide for a more efficient process while maintaining the integrity of environmental assessments.” Hmm. The provincial government has been under fire for efficiently laying French off environmental Connection staff and leaving Diana French decision-making to professionals hired by the industries. The presenters are IAIA members and government officials including personnel from B.C.’s EAO. The announcement doesn’t say who should attend the conference but the $100 fee will probably dissuade a few even though it includes coffee, snacks and lunch. Fingers are pointing in all directions as to who is to “blame” for the Mount Polley Mine disaster. Would it have happened if the province had heeded former Auditor General John Doyle’s advice to have the EAO provide more adequate oversight instead of deregulating the process? Will the IAIA session answer that one? *** According to the Chinese calendar, this is the Year of the Sheep, Goat or Ram, whatever. I was born under this sign, and I wondered if it means this will be a good year for me. Several different sites on the Internet had several different answers but one said this would be the best year for me for years, so I’ll go with that. Most sites gave the same favourite flowers and lucky numbers (which were right on) but the Sheep’s personality is calm and gentle. If that is me, you’d think I’d have noticed it somewhere along the line. *** Baby power. The youngest person in our family, who is just sort of five months, knows how to communicate. One smile from him gets instant adoration from every adult within range. Too bad it doesn’t work for adults. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Our Viewpoint

Take a stand Today, Feb. 25 is, Anti-Bullying Day (aka Pink T-Shirt Day) in Canada. The day originated in Nova Scotia in 2007, after a ninth-grader was bullied for wearing a pink T-shirt to school on the first day of that school year. Two Grade 12 students from the same school heard about the bullying incident and took it upon themselves to stand up for the younger student. They bought 50 pink shirts to distribute, went online to advise their classmates of their intentions, and the next day, the school turned into a veritable “sea of pink” by students, who had decided enough was enough and it was time to take a stand against bullying. Since that fateful day, Anti-Bullying/Pink T-Shirt Day has become a worldwide phenomenon. Bullying is a major problem not only in schools, but also at workplaces, at home, and particularly over the Internet. The power of online posting, especially when done anonymously, has led to a new age in bullying not experienced by those who grew up in a pre-Internet generation.

Apps such as Yik Yak, as well as popular social media sites like Reddit and Facebook, have taken bullying to a whole new level. But there is some good coming from the World Wide Web as well. Canadian sites like erasebullying.ca and bullying.org offer tips, as well as support, for victims of bullying. The saddest thing about the phenomenon is that it has come to this. Bullying is not a genetic disorder. It is taught; it is handed down, from adults to their children. We are responsible for the bullying going on in society today, and as it worsens, we, the parents, the bosses, the supervisors, are the ones to blame. Children — people as a whole — are a product of their environment. Wearing a pink shirt for a day is great, but it’s what we do the other 364 days of the year that is the foundation of that environment. So, celebrate on Wednesday. But carry the attitude over for the rest of the year. It’s the only way things will ever change. - Black Press

oday is Pink Shirt Day in B.C., a day where we stand up against bullying at schools, in the workplace, at home and online. The annual campaign encourages participants to wear pink shirts to show solidarity with those who have experienced bullying, and take preventative action by encouraging others to commit to a harassment-free environment. Pink Shirt Day began in 2009, when David Shepherd and Travis Price organized a protest at their Nova Scotia high school in support of a student who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. A day after the bullying, Price, Shepherd and a group of 50 students showed up to the school wearing pink shirts — MLA demonstrating to Musings bullies their solidarity with anyone Donna Barnett who dares to dress a bit differently, think independently, and behave in a way that’s true to them as individuals. Bullying is not a new phenomenon, but with ever-evolving mediums of technology, cyberbullying is an increasing concern — particularly for youth. It can happen 24 hours a day, and often under the false assumption that when you’re online, you’re anonymous. B.C. remains a national leader in bullying prevention, and is the first province in Canada to develop a comprehensive 10-point strategy called E.R.A.S.E Bullying (Expect Respect And a Safe Education). Awareness is growing and students are taking action, but there is still more work to be done. For more information on the ways you can support Pink Shirt Day, feel free to visit the following website that explores ways to address bullying and conflict, and plays a role in enhancing school connectedness and safe school environments: www.erasebullying.ca. We all want our children, families and friends to be safe, especially at school. Pink Shirt Day is the act of showing bullied children and adults that they are not alone and that we as bystanders will no longer be silent or ignore bullying behaviour when we see it happening. I challenge each of us to get more involved in helping promote safe schools, positive learning environments and increased on-line protection for our children. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Climate change threatens society Editor: Gilles Mailhiot’s letter in the Feb. 11 Tribune presents false and contradictory statements to support his opinion that global warming is a “scam.” He argues that CO2 levels have been rising with “nary a change in global temperature” but then he asserts that “CO2 levels follow temperature rise.” Mr. Mailhiot’s arguments appear to come from the oil and coal industry’s deceptive, coordinated and very well-funded campaign to mislead people on

climate science, corrupt our governments and block any shift away from fossil fuels. The arguments have not changed much since 2006 when I first took an interest in this issue but like a noxious weed, they keep coming back no matter how often they are proven to be false. I believe the climate scientists; climate change is real, it threatens the stability of our society and the time for talk is long past. It is willful blindness to continue to ignore both the science and direct observations of increasingly strange and destruc-

tive weather. We are failing in our collective responsibility to provide a secure environment for the young. How about investing in wind and solar energy, upgrading the efficiency of our homes, schools and hospitals so they use less energy instead of subsidizing big oil? The creation of local jobs, stronger communities and a more stable climate seems like a good start. Rodger Hamilton Williams Lake

Time nears to stop global climate change Editor: We’ve waited too long. Chief Economist Fatih Birol says the door closes in two years to keep the world below 2C. Outrageous? Unthinkable is watching our own children’s future civilization lost, as if we were their worse enemy. Democracy demands we prevent climate catastrophe “justly” for future generations. 2015 is crucial. We need to stay below 2C by having responsible carbon budgeting that protects our children’s future. To stay below 2C, there must be necessary voluntary democratic cooperation in Canada. Irreversible climate and environ-

mental damage exists. CO2 and methane are increasingly released on an industrial scale with massive irreversible poisoning of Nature’s miraculous life-giving water. Unthinkable for Canadian policy-makers is phasing out Canada’s fossil-fuel industry in 35 years –– beginning this decade. Unthinkable? Acknowledge our children and grandchildren are humans in harm’s way. We phase out Canada’s fossil-fuel production by 2050 for humans or face inhuman choices. Respect the rights and dignity of present and future generations globally. Recognize global social equality –– the rights, dignity and justice for all.

Canadian servitude earns blood money protecting, promoting and producing lethal global greenhouse gases while poisoning precious water. Blindly subservient on bribing multi-national fossil-fuel industry, is a democratic challenge. Canadians can make it right. Rising global GHG emissions, massive poisoning of Nature’s precious water, is a key election issue in 2015. In 2015 there are perplexing Canadian democratic challenges for all mankind for all time. Properly perceived, Canadian democratic life has a different meaning in 2015. Herb Nakada Williams Lake

canoe up and down the lake half a dozen times. The weekend was perfect. So when we awoke to discover the lake had come up on the shore-

the global peace we both desire. Linda Purjue Williams Lake line 20 feet, and trees crowded the far bank, mud splashed 50 feet up into the tree line, we couldn’t comprehend what we were seeing. You all know what happened, the mine’s tailing pond had breached. We slept right through it. When you grow up around logging equipment, and mining equipment, loud noises are nothing new, so we honestly didn’t differentiate the roaring noise of the breach from the usual mine sounds. My husband waded out into the lake up to his neck, trying to see our canoe. You see, the canoe has a special place in our hearts; my uncle had repaired it after a tree had broken it in half, and given it to us on our anniversary three years prior. It had taken us to dozens of lakes we had never been on before and the memories associated with it were innumerable and precious.

Question of the week

How can we tackle bullying?

Alex Ferguson

Bianca Stasiuk

Realize bullies are often people who have been bullied themselves.

Stop posting negatively on social media.

Cole Leclerc

Elisa Giesbrecht

Stand up for people being bullied but intervene in ways that don’t add conflict.

Stop being negative because it leads to people being judgemental.

Maddy Malz

Landon Fuller

Turn off social media when things go too far.

Stand up to bullies and tell someone about them.

This week’s online question:

Do you think we’ve seen the end of winter? Log onto the Opinion section at wltribune.com to vote Last week’s question: Have you been following the Canada Winter Games? YES: 10.3 per cent

So it was a little like losing a family member when we realized that it had been swept away by the flood waters. But –– we were alive, and in good health, and could return to our children (who were camping with their grandpa Brian and grandma Laura at a lake in Beaver Valley) and who can ask for more? We had planned on waiting until the cleanup was complete (by the way, the beaches of Polley and Quesnel Lakes have never been so clean in my life. Great work by everybody) and we would see if we could salvage even a piece of our beloved canoe. Then, a genuine Christmas miracle. A message from my cousin’s dear wife, Tracy Benastick, that some truly amazing people (Geoff O’Sullivan and Scott Gerbin and

NO: 89.7 per cent

I’m not even sure who else, but thank you, thank you) had gone out on their weekend off and chipped our little red canoe out of the mud and water that was slowly swallowing it where it has rested since August at the end of Polley Lake. In spite of all of the terrible events that followed the breach, good people, employees of Mount Polley Mine, took it upon themselves to risk injury for a stranger’s canoe. When we heard it had been salvaged, we danced our happiest happy dance. This community is amazing. I love the Cariboo, the place where no one is a stranger, and no cause is too small to be taken up and fought for. No other place on Earth like it. Lori Wiggins Lac La Hache

Morton and Hoffman kick of concert series Saturday Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Lakecity musicians Brent Morton and Brandon Hoffman are teaming up to be the first acts performing at the new Safety Meeting concert series starting up this Saturday night at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre. Morton and Hoffman will play independently and together during the evening. Brent Morton knows his drums and bells need to be hit hard to be fully revealed, Morton states in his biography. He hammers away in Drum and Bell Tower, his one-man folk songwriting project channeling Floydian grooves and syncopated boot-stomps. Pounding the Cariboo and interior since 2008, Morton’s songs are melodic and engaging hymns for life on a crowded planet. “Topple tyrants,” he states. “You know, like rolling out giant drones that you can smell for decades, or primal screech-tears in the sky that only Jesus can mend.” Hoffman calls his solo project Blocktreat.

Brent Morton (left) and Brandon Hoffman are very concerned for the citizens of Williams Lake, and believe that live music is the best way to avoid potential everyday hazards. In that project Hoffman layers found sounds and field recordings to create a relaxing mosaic of acoustic and electronic textures. His live set meshes the percussion of old school drum samplers with live mandolin looping and effects processing. Blocktreat has three releases on the Jellyfish Recordings label, and can be heard regularly on CBC’s The Signal with Laurie Brown. Hoffman was recently hosted as a guest

performer and lecturer at the University of Colorado. For this show, the percussive energy of Brent Morton is thrown into the mix. The Safety Meeting concert series takes place at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre next to city hall in Williams Lake with doors opening at 7:30 p.m. and the concerts starting at 8 p.m. Except for opening night with Hoffman and Morton this Saturday all of the concerts will be held on Friday

evenings featuring one local and one opening act each evening. Hoffman and Morton are organizing the concert series with Megan Chutskoff in concert with Horsefly’s Arts on the Fly Festival Society. In efforts to get the community off the couch and out of the house Hoffman says they are calling the concert series Safety Meeting, in a tonguein-cheek reflection that nine out of 10 accidents happen in the home. “Stubbed toes, choking on undercooked Ichiban noodles, electrical shocks, cooking burns — staying at home on a Friday night is about the most dangerous thing you could choose to do,” Hoffman begins his pitch encouraging people to attend the concert series. “It’s just my morbid sense of humour,” Hoffman says of the name. “If you stay home you might get hurt,

so you might as well come out and be entertained.” Two concerts each will follow Saturday’s concert in March, April and May: March 13, Red Haven and Flannel Roots; March 27, Pharis and Jason Romero and Harry Tudor; April 11 Colin Easthope and Shadows Cast; April 24 Joey Only Outlaw Band and Cariboo Songwriters in the Round; May 8 Black Spruce Bog with Sober Becky; May 22, Leathan Milne and Marin Patenaude. Hoffman says the suggested price of admission is $10 for most shows and $20 for the March 27 show but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. There will also be beer and wine and non-alcoholic drinks available for purchase with a portion of proceeds from the bar and admission going to the Arts on the Fly Festival in Horsefly this summer. Advance tickets are available at Red Shreds.

Children who may not get breakfast at home and those who do get breakfast at home are all welcome to come and enjoy the breakfasts together, says program co-ordinator and teaching assistant Tracy Campbell, who was cooking up breakfast when we visited last week with teaching assistant Cindy Stockhill-Grant. “Everyone is welcome,” Campbell says. “If you are here and want breakfast you can have it. It is for everyone.” Monday through Thursday the breakfast includes cereal, yogurt with granola, toast, fruit such as oranges and apples, milk and apple or orange juice. Friday is for special breakfasts. The menu may include scrambled egg with cheese burritos one week, or other special treats such as hot apple/cinnamon porridge, pancakes, or French toast on other Fridays in the month. In the spring, Campbell says she might switch up the Friday offerings with fruit salad sometimes. Sometimes she says they also put items such as soy milk out for the kids to try. The breakfast is held in the lunch room where the students are also encouraged to show good manners, saying please and thank-you and being kind and respectful of one another and cleaning up after themselves. A list of lunch room rules is posted on the wall. All this week Walmart is continuing its two-week collection of donations from their customers specifically for the Marie Sharpe Breakfast Club of Canada program. Principal Calvin Dubray welcomes the fundraising effort. He

Freigncheska Isnardy (left) and Anya Lulua sign in at the Marie Sharpe Elementary School Breakfast Club supported by the Breakfast Club of Canada and various individual and corporate sponsors such as Walmart which is in the second week of collecting donations from their customers specifically for the Marie Sharpe program. says 30 to 50 students regularly participate in the school’s breakfast club program which is one of two schools in School District 27 receiving support from the Breakfast Club of Canada. Anahim Lake Elementary/Junior Secondary is the other participating school. Dubray says January and February are particularly difficult months for families and it is important to make sure kids get a good breakfast so they can concentrate on their studies. “The food piece is important.

Students need that energy to get their brains working,” Dubray says. He says the Breakfast Club of Canada has provided more than $3,000 in equipment for the program including a freezer, stove, soup pots, utensils and a professional quality warming tray. Walmart is one of many corporate supporters of the Breakfast Club of Canada program whose goal it is to empower every child to realize their full potential and recognize that a good day starts with a good breakfast.

On Fridays breakfasts include various special meals such as the cheese and egg breakfast burritos served last week.

Breakfast Club statistics indicate that one in seven children in Canada starts the school day on an empty stomach due to a lack of access to nutritious food. Among aboriginal communities the ratio is actually one in four children going to school on an empty stomach. And among immigrants and newcomers, the risk is 2.5 times higher than in the general population. Besides helping new breakfast programs open in various schools and communities across Canada the club is instrumental in driving social change on a larger scale, states their website. “We believe in the importance of providing access to healthy food for children and teenagers, and training youths and volunteers, which in turn fosters a broader sense of engagement at the community level,” states the Breakfast Club of Canada. The Breakfast Club of Canada program is supported by fundraising campaigns and activities 68.8 per cent, unsolicited individual donations 6.3 per cent; donated goods and services 18.7 per cent; parental contributions and other sources of revenue, 4.3 per cent; government grants two per cent.

Part of the lunch and breakfast programs at Marie Sharpe encourage good manners.

Activities will be all about the wolf at a free Family Wolf Day coming up this Saturday, Feb. 28 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Scout Island Nature Centre. “We will wolf down stories about local wolf research, dress in costumes, play with puppets and look at skulls and teeth, says event leader Mary Forbes. “Half the day will be spent outside playing games and sniffing the fresh air and stretching our legs. These amazing animals share many family traits with humans; come and learn lots about how alike we are and how important they are to the forest and to us.” Everyone and all ages are welcome. No registration is required. Wear warm clothes and gloves, waterproof winter boots, and bring anything wolf you may have at home for show and tell. And bring along fur coats, hats and tails if you have them to dress up like a wolf. For questions on this special event call 250-398-8532 or email themaryforbes@gmail. com

COMMUNITY

$20,000 raised for Tatla health centre Linda-Lou Howarth Special to Tribune/Advisor On Valentine’s Day the Tatla Lake Community Association held a fundraiser for the West Chilcotin Health Centre to raise funds for much needed equipment. The Tatla Lake community hall was bursting at the seams with many community members, each arriving with tantalizing contributions of food, as it was a potluck dinner. The table groaned

with weight of the food. As everyone greeted each other and made their way up to the stage to see what to bid on in the silent auction, the chatting volume got louder and louder. Excited exclamations were heard of someone spying an item they wanted to bid on in the silent auction or just standing in the way visiting at which point some were being told visiting was not allowed on stage only bidding.

BRIDAL FAIR FUN

www.wltribune.com A13

Next at each table we were given a typewritten sheet containing a list of what was up for the live auction. Right away pens were busy circling what each wanted to bid on. After much pleas of please be quiet, the crowd finally settled to listen to Gerald Kirby explain about the numbers on the table, when your number was drawn, that table got to go up to get their food. By the way if a person was seated against the wall that’s pretty well where they were stuck until someone on either table moved. It was quite cozy in there as every chair was taken and more gathered and placed around as well as more seating down stairs. A slide projector was set up while Dr. Mike Smialowski, the retired doctor of Tatla Lake, gave an interesting speech on the health centre and its needs. Next Patrice Gordon presented a heartwrenching slide show on ebola and her stay in Sierra Leone in West Africa doing her part to help out. Then current Dr. Rob Coatzee, who replaced Dr. Mike on his retirement, enter-

tained us with slides on his stay in the south. Beautiful shots of the sunrise and sunsets, as well as the aurora displays had the crowd spellbound. Gorgeous photos. At around 9 p.m. the live auction began with Kirby trying to get the bids going and finally asked for help to keep track of the bidders at which point Clifford Schuk got up and assisted him. The bids went quite high on some things but the crowd was quite noisy, however, that did not interfere with the bidding. Many a bidder went home happy with their winning bids. Finally, the silent auction was closed and more happy bidders went to see Selma Padgette with their money and a smile on their faces. Not only were the bidders content, the organizers were doing a very happy dance when they counted just over $20,000 dollars raised at the function. Way to go Tatla Lake and surrounding communities. The Little Town that Did raised $20,000 big ones for the Tatla Lake health centre. Woot woot!!

Stand up against bullying… • Theft of personal items - like a backpack, books, electronic devices, etc. • Harassment - repeated tormenting online, with texts, phone calls and/or emails. • Sexual Exploitation - sharing videos or photos with nudity of people under 18. • Hate crime - bullying based on ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, etc. For all of these criminal offences, it is important to notify your local police detachment or report it to CYBERTIP.CA. Based on the available information, police will decide if an investigation is warranted and whether charges may be laid.

On Wednesday, February 25th, 2015 be sure to wear your Pink Shirt Day t-shirt and say ENOUGH to bullying! This special day takes place in schools, workplaces, and neighbourhoods across the nation, and features individuals like you bringing awareness to the cause. The goal of the Pink Shirt Day campaign is to raise $300,000 to fund local anti-bullying programs and you can be a part of this amazing campaign!

Bullying and Cyberbullying Bullying Bullying happens when there is an imbalance of power; where someone purposely and repeatedly says or does hurtful things to someone else. Bullying can occur one on one or in a group(s) of people. There are many different forms of bullying: ◼ Physical bullying (using your body or objects to cause harm): includes hitting, punching, kicking, spitting or breaking someone else’s belongings. ◼ Verbal bullying (using words to hurt someone): includes name calling, put-downs, threats and teasing. ◼ Social bullying (using your friends and relationships to hurt someone): includes spreading rumours, gossiping, excluding others from a group or making others look foolish or unintelligent. This form of bullying is most common among girls (Canadian Children’s Rights Council).

Cyberbullying Cyberbullying involves the use of communication technologies such as the Internet, social networking sites, websites, email, text messaging and instant messaging to repeatedly intimidate or harass others. Cyberbullying includes: • Sending mean or threatening emails or text/instant messages. • Posting embarrassing photos of someone online. • Creating a website to make fun of others. • Pretending to be someone by using their name.

• Tricking someone into revealing personal or embarrassing information and sending it to others. Cyberbullying affects victims in different ways than traditional bullying. It can follow a victim everywhere 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from school, to the mall and all the way into the comfort of their home - usually safe from traditional forms of bullying.

Impacts

Over time, youth who are bullied or bully others find their own ways of dealing with it. While some victims/bullies may become depressed and begin to withdraw socially, others react aggressively and turn to violence. Dangers for Children and Adolescents Who Are Bullied: • Depression • Social anxiety, loneliness, isolation • Stress related health problems (e.g., headaches, stomach aches) • Low self esteem • School absenteeism and academic problems • Aggressive behaviours • Contemplating, attempting, or committing suicide Dangers for Children and Adolescents Who Bully Others: • Not knowing the difference between right and wrong • Delinquency and substance use • Academic problems and increased school dropout rate • Aggression • Sexual harassment and dating aggression • Gang involvement and criminal adulthood • Difficulties in their relationships with others • Being bullied at the hands of others

What You Can Do Youth If you are a victim of bullying • Walk away or leave the online conversation. • Keep track of the bullying (write it down and/or save a screenshot of the online message). • Tell a trusted adult. If you don’t trust anyone or need to speak with someone urgently, contact the confidential and toll-free Kids Help Phone. • Report the bullying to school administrators. • Report criminal offences, such as threats, assaults and sexual exploitation to the local police detachment. • Report unwanted text messages to your telephone service provider. • Report online bullying to the social media site and block the person responsible. • Facebook • YouTube - Safety Centre • Twitter • Instagram – block a user or report something • Tumblr – how to “ignore” (block) someone

bully to stop. • Find friends/students/youth or an adult who can help stop it. • Befriend the person being bullied and lead them away from the situation. • Report it to a teacher or school staff. • Fill out an anonymous letter and drop it off to a teacher or any adult you trust. Adults If you know or think that a child is a victim of bullying... • Talk to them - Let them know that they can trust you and that they shouldn’t deal with bullying alone. • Help them: • document the bullying; • report unwanted text messages to their tele phone service provider, or cyberbullying to social media sites; • report the bullying to school administrators; and • report criminal offences, such as threats, as saults, harassment and sexual exploitation to the local police detachment.

Challenge your friends and co-workers to commit to a bully-free lifestyle and wear pink on Wednesday, Feb 25

If you know someone who is being bullied... Most ost types of bullying go on as long as someone is watching and laughing. As a bystander, know that you have the power to stop the bullying. 60% of the time, bullying stops in less than 10 seconds when someone steps in (Kids Help Phone). • If you feel it’s safe to do so, tell the

History of Pink Shirt Day In 2007, two Nova Scotia students decided to take action after witnessing a younger student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. The students bought 50 pink t-shirts and encouraged schoolmates to wear them and send a powerful message of solidarity to the bully. We were inspired by the story and to date have raised more than $830,000 for antibullying programs with the sales of our official Pink Shirt Day t-shirts.

Williams Lake provincial-bound Timberwolves win CAHA championship after three-game series

Saturday, Feb. 28 to Sunday, March 1

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Fans packed the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex Saturday to witness the Williams Lake Midget Timberwolves post a game-three shutout victory over the Prince George Midget Cougars to land a provincial championship berth. The 4-0 win and the Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association championship speaks to the mental preparedness of his players, said T-wolves head coach Steve Carpenter after the team rallied from a 5-2 defeat in game two the previous Saturday to win the series. “I think all year it’s been a little bit up and down for us and I felt Saturday, that was the best focus we’d had all year,” Carpenter said. “I wasn’t nervous before the game. You could tell the kids were in the right frame of mind and pretty pumped up.” After a 0-0 stalemate following one period of play, Williams Lake began to capitalize on Prince George penalty trouble in the second. Jacob Chamberlin provided the heroics scoring three goals,

The Williams Lake Midget Timberwolves are off to the provincial hockey championships in Trail next month after beating the Prince George Midget Cougars, 4-0, in game three of their Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association series final. with Trey Thomas adding the other. Assists went to Daine DuBois, Zack Herrick, Josh Novakowski and Will Paynton. “Jacob’s been a real emotional leader for us all year so it was really nice to see [him score the hat trick],” Carpenter said. “You can always count on him to go out and block shots and take hits, and go to the difficult areas to try to score.”

Trevor Woodward took game one’s win between the pipes, with Hayden Lyons playing games two and three. Now, the team will prepare for the provincial hockey championships in Trail from March 15-18. For four of the team’s players — Thomas, DuBois, Lyons and Landon Fuller — it will be their fifth time attending a provincial

championship dating back to their peewee careers. “They’re pretty hungry as far as trying to do something and go there and come back with a little bit more than a good experience,” Carpenter said. “We just have to keep focused on our game. “If we can play like we did this past weekend I think we’ll be pretty good.”

Bantam Timberwolves off to provincials Greg Sabatino Staff Writer In the end it was hard work, determination and teamwork that paid off for the Williams Lake Bantam Female Timberwolves, according to head coach Ben Pierce. Williams Lake defeated the Prince George Bantam Female Cougars, 2-1, in game three of a best-of-three nailbiter series Sunday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when the final buzzer sounded and the girls and their families realized they’d won a Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association championship and earned a berth at the upcoming provincial championships in Castlegar. “[It feels] awesome,” Pierce said. “It was a hard-working, well-deserved win.”

SPORTS NOTEBOOK

Angie Mindus photo

The Williams Lake Bantam Female Timberwolves celebrate after winning the Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association playoff championship. In fact, the girls have been the underdogs for most of the season with just five wins under

their belts. “We beat the odds,” Pierce said. “Nobody expected us to

be here.” Assistant coach Marco Passeri added it was the team’s first back-to-back victories of the season, however, noted they came through when it mattered the most. Bronwyn Pocock tallied first for the T-wolves in the first frame after a setup from Adriane Kennedy, before Karena Sokolan tallied the game winner almost six minutes into the second period. Assists on the winning goal went to Emma Pittman and Dylan Passeri. In game two on Saturday it took a shootout, after one full period of overtime, to seal the deal for Williams Lake. The team is made up of peewee and bantam girls from Williams Lake, as well as six players from 100 Mile House. Provincials begin March 14 in Castlegar.

This Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex program will prepare you for the Kamloops Spring Triathlon in May of 2015. Swim instruction at the pool will focus on proper technique and building endurance. The cycling component will start with indoor dry-land training. Training for the run will begin indoors and move to outdoors after the first few weeks. The indoor workouts will focus on building a strong base of strength, cardio and flexibility. Sessions go Sundays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and on Tuesday and Thursdays from 6:30 to 7:45 a.m. for a total of 21 classes. There will be no classes during spring break. Cost is $185.

Archers nail top results Members of the Cariboo Archers have been busily restocking their quivers during the past two weekends attending shoots in Cloverdale and Quesnel. From Feb. 14-15 the Semiahmoo Archery Club hosted its Indoor 3D Shoot in Cloverdale with Cariboo Archers Jessie Mobbs, Dan Mobbs, Fred Streleoff and Al Campsall, who will represent Team Canada in August, competing. Jessie won the ladies’ longbow title, while Dan finished a strong second to Streleoff in the men’s instinctive (recurve) division. Campsall, meanwhile, took first place in the master’s compound division. Of particular note was Streleoff ’s re-

curve round of 150 points — higher than most men in the compound categories — which turned many heads at the event. The following weekend, Feb. 21-22, many members attended the Quesnel River Archery Club’s Indoor 3D Shoot. The results are as follows: • Nikki Mobbs — first - adult longbow female • Fred Streleoff first - adult recurve male • Dan Mobbs - second - adult recurve male • Mary Thurow first - adult open female • Lee Jackman first - adult open male • Brianna Billy second - cub compound female • Ty Thurow - first - cub compound male

• Michael Gulbranson - second - cub compound male • Ernie Schmid first - masters recurve male • Al Campsall - first - masters open male • Joelle Thurow first - peewee compound female • Emma Patterson - first - youth compound female Additionally, Dan, Schmid, Dave Coreless and Streleoff all shared the pot for hitting a marked spot on one of their respective traditional targets. Campsall hit the compound spot twice on one target to also win money, however, the big winner was Jackman. Jackman ousted 31 other shooters to nail a toonie-sized spot on a 50-yard target that hadn’t been hit all weekend to claim

a $160 pot, and was the only shooter to achieve the feat. Coming up for the Cariboo Archers is a shoot Sunday, March 8 — the Canadian Regional Target Championships in Quesnel. “This is the Canadian Indoor Championships held all over the country with results then sent to determine Canadian Champions,” Campsall said. The Cariboo Archers AGM has been moved to March 29 to allow shooters to attend. Following that, Cariboo Archers will attend shoots in Prince George (March 14-15), the Canadian Indoor 3D Championships in Cloverdale (March 21-22) and in 100 Mile House (March 21-22).

Williams Lake Stampeders forward Dylan Richardson gets hauled down on a breakaway during overtime of game three in the Central Interior Hockey League playoff final for a penalty shot on Terrace River Kings’ netminder Patrick Leal.

River Kings claim CIHL playoff crown Greg Sabatino Staff Writer It wasn’t a fairy tale ending, but fans were treated to two thrillers during the weekend between the Williams Lake Stampeders and the Terrace River Kings to close out the Central Interior Hockey League playoffs. Terrace, after a 3-2 defeat in front of a packed house at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex Saturday, rallied back to capture a 4-3 overtime win in a barn burner Sunday to claim the CIHL playoff title. “They’re a good team,” said Stampeders president Marko Zurak. “When you go into overtime it could’ve went either way and it was just too bad we couldn’t pull it off. That’s what’s great about hockey. You just don’t know until the very last minute.” Chapen Leblond and Steve Cullis gave the River Kings a 2-0 lead after one period of play, be-

fore Williams Lake’s Jassi Sangha put the Stamps on the board six-and-a-half minutes into the second frame. Leblond added his second of the contest four minutes later, before Stampeders’ captain Aaron Zurak cut the Williams Lake deficit to 3-2 heading into the third. There, Williams Lake defenceman Dan Cohen fired a blast from just outside the left-wing faceoff circle to fool River Kings’ netminder Patrick Leal to send the contest to overtime. A disallowed Terrace goal provided some controversy later in the frame, before sudden death overtime saw Tristan Murray bang one past Stampeders’ goaltender Justin Foote near the fiveminute mark during a scramble in front of the net to seal the deal. Prior to the gamewinning goal, Dylan Richardson came up short on a penalty shot attempt. “That was unfortunate,” Marko said,

noting Richardson appeared to be on his way to notching the game winner for the Stamps before being hauled down on a breakaway. “He was flying in there.” On Saturday, Williams Lake’s Andrew Fisher, David Gore and Kurtis Bond tallied for Williams Lake in the 3-2 win, while Murray and Leblond provided Terrace’s offence. “The guys were disappointed but they don’t have anything to feel bad about,” Marko said. “We had a good showing. The guys played hard but the bounces just weren’t going our way. That’s just the breaks.” Marko said the team was extremely grateful for the fan support it received this season — especially during the weekend. “We had an awesome crowd Saturday. Sunday, too. It’s so nice to see and the guys get so pumped to have that many people there, so a big thanks from the players, the

coaching staff and the executives,” he said. “Another thanks to the [Williams Lake Timberwolves] midget team, members of the 100 Mile Wranglers and the Williams Lake Rustlers. They were there in big fashion supporting us and we noticed, and appreciate their support.” Now, the Stamped-

ers — the defending Coy Cup senior men’s AA provincial hockey champions — are trying to figure out the logistics of the possibility of playing a challenge game with the Powell River Regals to decide who will attend this year’s Coy Cup in Fort Nelson. For more details see a future Tribune.

NUMBERS

Your Preschooler and… Numbers Being familiar with numbers, time, distance and shapes will help your child develop the math skills they will need at school. Remember that, like all learning, numbers should be fun and connected to real life. Many children learn better by counting the stones on the beach or apples in a grocery bag than by looking at flash cards. Typically, three-year-olds will be able to count to ten. Most preschoolers will be able to sort objects into groups and to name different shapes (such as triangle and square). At age three children are generally beginning to understand time, measurement like weight and height, and distances like near and far.

Try some of these with your preschooler: 1. Count as a part of everyday routines with your child: “Please get me six spoons for lunch.” “How many letters are in the mailbox?” 2. Discuss the order of events to help your child understand time: “This morning at 10:00 we are going to the store. After lunch, you will have time to play.” 3. Make a calendar with your child. Write in special days (his or her birthday, the trip to the library) and have your child mark off each day until it arrives. 4. Help your child learn your family’s phone number and address. 5. Collect objects (buttons, stones, blocks) and sort them by shape, colour or size. 6. Talk about shapes. Identify shapes in the world around you and talk about them with your child: “That window is square.” “That cookie is round.” 7. Start a growth chart for your child. Talk about the ideas of weight and height. 8. Ask your child to guess how many cups of water it will take to fill a pitcher or bowl then fill the pitcher and check the guesses. 9. Use words that give direction when asking your child to do something: “Look under the box.” “Put it beside your bed.” 10. Make a counting book. Glue groups of small objects (like buttons or feathers) on pieces of paper and then bind the pages together to make a “book”. When browsing through the book together, help your child count the different groups of objects.

Considered a mountain biking legend and advocate by many in the community, Williams Lake’s Mark Savard has been nominated for this year’s Fifth Annual Kazlaw Mountain Biking Community Award in recognition of his volunteer efforts. Savard, often called Shreddie, has been developing the bike scene in B.C.’s Interior for 26 years when he opened Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed in Williams Lake. “Shreddie is too modest to admit it but he showed that it’s possible for a bike, snowboard and windsurf bum to dream of opening an outdoor recreational shop in a resource community,” said Thomas Schoen, president/chair of the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium and director with the Williams Lake Cycling Club. “It’s also possible for that ‘bum’ to become a successful businessman and a pillar of the community.” For more than a decade Williams Lake has been one of the rare Interior communities with workable bike maps, while locals are known to be pioneers in

exploring the Chilcotin via bike. Since, a strong mountain bike community has emerged around a shared passion for riding and, perhaps, more importantly, building to create and maintain a diverse network of trails in Williams Lake, as well as other areas of the Cariboo including 100 Mile House, Quesnel and Wells. According to local pro mountain biker James Doerfling, some of his success has to be contributed to the tutelage of Savard. “I started out in elementary school as one of those little punks that hung around Red Shred’s,” Doerfling said. “Then Shreddie got me a job down there. I just grew up around there sweeping floors, then eventually wrenching on bikes and kind of made my way into the industry through the shop. Mark was a big help and gave me a lot of good advice.” More recently, the creation of the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium, a network of professionals dedicated to supporting mountain biking tourism in the region, is pushing to

make this area a mountain bike destination. “Mark’s passion goes beyond biking,” Schoen said. “He is an avalanche expert, a trail builder, a mountaineer, a backcountry skier, an avid paddler, a windsurfer and an ice climber. He’s organized too many events to list – the Unlikely Paddlefest is just one of them. Without doubt, B.C.’s mountain bike community would not be what it is today without Shreddie.” During the past 25 years Savard has accumulated more than 14,000 volunteer hours including past and present positions with the Cariboo Chilcotin Tourism Association, the WLCC, the CMBC, the Mountain Bike Tourism Association of BC, the Chamber of Commerce, the Chimney/Felker Lake Landowners Association, the Business Improvement Association, Sprockids/ Boys and Girls Club, the Williams Lake Cross-Country Ski Club and Mt. Timothy Ski Area. Voting is available online until March 13 here: http://fluidsurveys.com/ surveys/bcbikerace/kazlaw-award-2015/.

B.C. third in medal standings Team BC hauled in 41 medals after week one of the Canada Winter Games. They now sit third in the medal count — three behind Ontario and two ahead of Alberta. Quebec leads the medal standings with 83 medals. “Team BC athletes are off to an amazing start and were certainly fueled by the hometown support of family, friends and local fans,” said Rob Needham, Team BC Chef de Mission. “We are looking forward to week two to continue to build on the momentum for more podium finishes.” The alpine skiing team earned eight medals through the week including a silver for Kristina Natalenko (New Westminster) in giant slalom and four medals in the ski cross event. Para alpine contributed another three with gold and silver for Mel Pembel (Victoria) and a silver for Mark Robertson (North Vancouver). Solid races by the rest of the team led to multiple top-10 finishes.

Northern athletes Tony Proctor (Prince George) and Emerie Watson (Quesnel) combined for a bronze medal in the archery mixed team event. Rising star Emily Dickson (Burns Lake) wowed the hometown crowd at biathlon earning three individual medals (gold, silver and bronze) and combined with her teammates for a gold in the relay event. The men’s curling team led by skip Tyler Tardi (Surrey) suffered a tough semifinal loss but rebounded to win the bronze medal. Freestyle skiers kicked off the week in style with double golds from Teal Harle (Whistler) and Elena Gasketll (Vernon) in slopestyle and big air, along with silver from patrick Dew (Coldstream) and two bronze for Sofinae Gagnon (Whistler). The men’s and women’s gymnastics teams had solid performances both earning team bronze medals and then Aaron Mah (Vancouver) and Shallon Olsen (Surrey) combined for six medals in cluding a silver for Ol-

sen in the all around. The women’s hockey team had two wins and four losses with a final placing of sixth. Sarah Potomack (Aldergrove) was the team’s top scorer of the tournament with four goals and three assists. Ringette brought incredible team spirit and a loud cheering section as they battled on the ice at the Colloseum. With some very close games, the team ended up sixth at the tournament. The long track speed skaters started the week in Prince George on the outdoor oval, however, warm temperatures forced the competition to move

to Fort St. John. Nine medals were earned with six of those from Sara Spence of Kamloops. The short track speed skating team gained valuable experience with two sixth-place finishes for Allison Desmarais (Vanderhoof) and a fourth-place finish for the men’s 3,000-metre relay. In target shooting Leia Hoot (Kamloops) earned silver and Jessica Auton (Langley) earned bronze. Brian Ng (Langley) and Dakota O’Donnovan earned a team bronze. Week two of the competition began Feb. 21 with Team BC’s men’s hockey.

(Manna, Mrs., and Mom) Baroness Christiane Maria Angela DĂźrfeld NĂŠe Countess Thun-Hohenstein May 31st, 1927-February 17th, 2015 Manna was born in Baden bei Vienna, Austria, as the eighth of ten children to Matteo and Ida Thun-Hohenstein. She had a happy and privileged childhood but her teen years were shaken by the tragedies and hardships of living in the midst of World War II. Manna met and married her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spezi,â&#x20AC;? Wolfgang, in Salzburg in 1948. Together with their first-born, Tina, they immigrated to Canada in December of 1949 to start a new life. Sponsored by the von Reidemann family, their first Canadian home was at the Alkali Lake Ranch. From there they moved to the Chilcotin to work for the Bayliff family. By the time they were expecting their third child, Williams Lake became home. Wolf built their house on Sunset Drive and together they raised their family of eight children! Manna loved her home and lived there independently until three weeks ago when the progression of her cancer needed more care. She passed away peacefully on February 17th, 2015. Manna was a woman of integrity; displayed by the courage of her convictions, the strength of her values, and a love of life. At the core of her life were her faith and her family. Her love extended far beyond her immediate family: countless friends from all corners of the globe have experienced the heartfelt warmth and kindness of her presence. She was Grossmami to so many! She has given ALL of us her gifts of FAITH, LOVE, WISDOM, and PERSEVERANCE She was pre-deceased by: Grandson Stefan - 1988 Husband Wolf - 1989 Son Benno - 1990 Daughter Tina - 2014 She leaves behind: Tinaâ&#x20AC; (Henning) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Donata, Ilka Rudi (Cathie) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Teresa, Karla, Lydia, Lucas Elisabeth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Matina Matheo (Heather) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Christiana, Franciska Ricci (Liz) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Levon, Alexi, Caius, Chiara, Sophie Rupert (Trenisa) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Benno, Giulianna, Vittoria Bennoâ&#x20AC; (Sandra) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Guido, Stefanâ&#x20AC; Stoffi (Angela) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Maria, Emilia, Francesca, Alessandro, Carmel Plus nine great-grandchildren Our mother and all of us share deep gratitude for the loving, gentle, and dignified care she received by ALL: in her home, in the hospital, and at Deni House. She also held a very special place in her heart for Dr. Fedor. Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday February 28th, 2015 at 12:00 pm (noon) at Sacred Heart Church Internment following. Prayers: Friday February 27th, 2015 at 8:00 pm Sacred Heart Church In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: Covenant House: https://donate.covenanthousebc.org or Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust LaPrairieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Services entrusted with arrangements. 250-398-9100

The view from Poplar Grove over Okanagan Lake is spectacular as is the Syrah, which, like the best of the winery’s reds, benefits from the extra aging afforded by cellaring it for a couple of years longer than the norm. A three-kilometre side trip to Red Rooster netted a Reserve Syrah, which exuded yummy plum and cherry from its neck, once opened! One more stop before a relaxing evening spent staring over the lake while sipping on a suite balcony at the Summerland Waterfront Resort. The snowy and very icy single track to the new Sage Hills Vineyard in Summerland required careful navigation. The reward was a barrel tasting with winemaker Andrea Lee and vineyard manager Keenan Thrussell. The new vintage had yet to be bottled but a rosé version hit the spot later! Time to return to the coast via Sandhill Wines in Kelowna. Howard Soon, a B.C. born industry pioneer, makes Syrah from vineyards in the south of the valley and a special ‘small lots’ version from a

single vineyard. By the time the rear two rows were lowered to accommodate the purchased cases of wine, the seven-seat MDX was strictly a two-seater. Despite its load, it leapt up to the Pennask Summit on the Okanagan Connector as fast the outside temperature dropped to minus five. The Coquihalla Highway was bathed in sunlight and the descent to Hope was smooth and quiet but for the rattle from the bottles. Bring on the Aussies! If you can’t get to the festival tasting room, tour Okanagan wine country this summer… with a designated driver, of course.

Frequently, I see cabbies, anxious to get their fares to the airport, anticipating the green light and taking off
