A new bylaw in Williams Lake will extend smoking bans in and around public buildings and during special outdoor events. At its regular meeting Feb. 24, city council unanimously adopted a smoke-free bylaw that will prohibit smoking on civic-owned property and municipal streets during temporary road closures for public events such as parades or street parties. When new signs are put in place citing the bylaw they will stipulate a 7.5 metre “smoke free” buffer zone near areas such as playgrounds, playing fields, the beach at Scout Island, bus shelters, the cemetery, and outdoor recreational structures, such as bleachers at a ball field. City planner Chris Hutton in a report to council said the bylaw office has warned it will be hard to enforce the ban. However, Hutton told the Tribune he is hopeful through public education and signage the new rules will be respected. There is a maximum fine of $100 associated with infractions. Smoking as defined by the new bylaw means to inhale, exhale, burn, or have control over a lighted cigar, cigarette, electronic cigarette, hookah-pipe, pipe, or other lighted smoking implement designed to burn or heat tobacco or any other substance for the purpose of inhaling or tasting of its smoke or emissions. The ban, however, does not apply to smoking for Aboriginal ceremonial, cultural, spiritual, or traditional purposes.

NEWS Layoffs and permits not linked: Imperial Metals Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Issuing of permits to restart Mount Polley Mine and pending layoffs at the mine are not linked, Imperial Metals said Friday. “Right now the bulk of workforce is doing the repair to the breach,” company vice-president of corporate affairs Steve Robertson said. “When that work is over with, if we don’t have any other work to go to, that’s going to mean massive layoffs.” If the company had a permit by April 1 to restart when the reconstruction is completed then workers
could transition over into operations, but that’s just a coincidence, Roberston insisted. “We are not trying to put undue pressure on the government, we understand they have a full process they have to go through with permitting. “We are not trying to hold a gun to government’s head or anything like that.” Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett said the government wants the mine to re-open, but that it needs to be done properly. “We’ve asked the company for more detail on mid and
long-term planning before we can let them re-open,” Bennett told the Tribune. “The company still needs to submit the required information and as a result, it will not be possible to make a decision by April, but hopefully by May or June.” Once the mine’s plan is finalized it will go to First Nations and the Cariboo Mine Development Review Committee for review, followed by a 30-day public consultation period. Imperial Metals’ proposal to use the existing Springer pit in the short-term is reasonable, Bennet said, but because the
pit will only support operations for a period of months. The company will need to demonstrate how it proposes to deal with the water on site in the long-term. Earlier this month layoffs at the mine resulted in 30 people losing positions once all the seniority bumping was completed, according to United Steelworkers Union Local 1425 president Paul French. “If there’s an ability for the mine to get back into production, we support it and have every intention to work with the mine to get there,” French said.

Williams Lake couple sentenced in grow-op trial Sheriffs restrain irate man during courtroom sentencing Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The judge sentencing a Williams Lake couple convicted last week of grow-op related charges said they believed they had done nothing wrong and had a Godgiven right to grow marijuana. “They have a notion that at common law they are not engaging in illegal activity,” Justice Miriam Gropper said during her sentencing of Joseph and Catherine Zombori in B.C. Supreme Court in Williams Lake Thursday. “They are simply wrong. In a just, peaceful and democratic society, citizens are not entitled to pick and choose the laws that apply to
them. That is anarchy.” The Zomboris, who seem to follow the freeman on the land movement, were found guilty of possession of marijuana, possession for the purpose of trafficking and for removing the hydro metre from the outside of their Fox Mountain home. Throughout the trial by jury held the first two weeks of April 2014, where they were found guilty, the Zomboris represented themselves and insisted they were not bound to the law. That attitude was still evident during the sentencing where Mr. Zombori constantly interrupted the judge and yelled a profanity at her. As Gropper began
her deliberation, Mr. Zombori interjected. “Who is Joe, I need to know who Joe is?” he shouted. “You are sentencing a person and I need to know who that person is.” Gropper looked at him and said, “I am talking about you.” He shouted back: “I am a man of common law I am not a you. Bring forth the man or woman forward to claim that I have done wrong.” As Gropper continued to read her sentencing, Mr. Zombori kept talking and at one point told the judge she was destroying his life. “I am not going to be quiet,” he insisted. “As a man of common law
I have a person, I’m not the person. You have charged the person and I’m curious what you are going to do about that?” Eventually Gropper asked the four sheriffs in the court room to restrain him so she could continue sentencing. When Mr. Zombori began protesting that the sheriffs did not have permission to touch him, they placed him on the ground. There were six people in the court room to support the Zomboris. “Leave him alone,” one woman told the sheriffs. “Don’t fight Joe,” another person said. Turning to the Justice, Mr. Zombori swore at her and kept
yelling, demanding that she verify he had done wrong. At that point Gropper recessed the court for 15 minutes. When court resumed, Mr. Zombori refused to stand up, so the sheriffs dragged him back into the court room. Throughout the remainder of the sentencing, the Zomboris remained calmer, however, they did not look toward the judge, for the most part, but rather talked to each other. Mrs. Zombori straightened her husband’s tie, offered him water to drink, or approached the gallery to speak with their supporters. The charges against the Zomboris resulted
after an RCMP search warrant was executed on June 5, 2012 at the family’s 659 Mikulasik Road property on Fox Mountain in Williams Lake. During the search police discovered the basement of the residence had a number of rooms outfitted for marijuana production along with supplies for a grow-op. They also found 259 growing cannabis marijuana plants inside and 19 growing outside. “While the police were conducting the search, Catherine was inside the house with two children and Joseph arrived while the police were conducting the search,” Gropper said. In 2001, Mr. Zom-
bori served a six-month jail sentence for possession for the purpose of trafficking. Justice Gropper sentenced Mr. Zombori to an 18-month-jail sentence, followed by probation, while his wife is serving a 12-month conditional sentence so she can remain at home with their children. Mr. Zombori works as an electrician, while his wife home schools their children and does the bookkeeping. The Crown is seeking forfeiture of the exhibits seized by police during the search warrant and of the property itself, but will delay that application until Mrs. Zombori has completed her sentence, Gropper said.

CRD puts pressure on BC Timber Sales Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer
Having a daily struggle with trying to control unwanted facial hair that always comes back even though you are waxing, tweezing, using harsh hair removal facial creams? Stop wasting your money on methods that are not permanent and come for a free consultation with a Certified Electrologist. Electrolysis is the only method of hair removal that is permanent and medically approved. Don’t delay, I have the answers!
Now that the Williams Lake Allowable Annual Cut (AAC) has been reduced to three million cubic metres, local politicians and mills are wondering how the Minister of Forests will divvy up the timber, something he’s expected to do within the next five to eight months. “The AAC, which provides certainty, was the first step, the apportionment is the next,” Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond said. “We are going to be watching with great interest to see what the minister allocates to BC Timber Sales.” Richmond said with BC Timber Sales not getting their wood on the market it reduces
With the reduction of volume there will be more pressure now that things get done in a more expeditious and processed way.” - Tom Hoffman the amount of timber available to licensees to purchase and inflates the price. Echoing Richmond, Tolko’s Caribou Woodlands Manager Tom Hoffman told the Tribune companies are anxious to know how the timber will be split up. “If BC Timber Sales gets a certain volume,
they will have to start to perform,” Hoffman said. “With the extra volume that was there before, they didn’t have to perform.” Hoffman also suggested cutting and road building permits need to be sped up, and the process streamlined. “With the reduction of volume there will be
more pressure now that things get done in a more expeditious and processed way.” Recently the CRD endorsed a resolution for consideration at the upcoming North Central Local Government Association conference in May calling on the provincial government to deliver the full allowable cut under the BC Timber Sales program and a complete sciencebased inventory of the available timber supply. City council has also endorsed the resolution. Responding to the Tribune, Ministry of Forests spokesperson Vivian Thomas said BC Timber Sales has a goal to provide credible representative price and cost benchmark data for the market pricing system through auctions of public timber.
Recent objectives by BCTS, she outlined, are to sell its full allowable annual cut (AAC) over the business cycle, consistent with sustainable forest management, generate net direct and indirect provincial government revenue over the business cycle, and pursue continuous business improvement within BCTS, across government and third party partners and customers. “To support selling its full AAC, each business area is developing plans to sell annually no less than 90 per cent of its AAC, subject to local area demand and supply factors,” Thomas explained. “And when market demand permits, business areas will target sales of accumulated undercuts, and marginal economic and poor quality timber.”

Proposed fire service training standards concern CRD Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Recent proposed changes to the BC Fire Service Minimum Training Standards Playbook have prompted action by the Cariboo Regional District. Last month the CRD tasked chiefs of its rural fire departments to provide information on any training their members have completed. “We do have some information but not all,” said CRD chair Al Richmond. “We need to get a complete picture so we can compare the courses they’ve taken with the standards in the playbook.” The majority of the CRD’s rural fire departments have the exterior
Al Richmond attack training, but are not faced with fighting fires inside apartment blocks or hospitals, Richmond said. When the chiefs’ reports are submitted by June, the CRD will discover whether additional training is required. Annual training budgets for each department fall between
$5,000 to $25,000, depending on the department. “Historically volunteers have difficulty getting time away from family to take some of the courses so quite often the amount of money in the training budget isn’t expended in a year,” Richmond said, noting there are challenges for volunteers to get the time off for training. Many departments have trainers in-house who are qualified to teach and have an advantage because members don’t have to travel away for the training. Another concern for the CRD is the playbook’s suggestion that local governments will have jurisdiction over
all the fire departments in the region. “We are saying no, we don’t have jurisdiction with those fire departments,” Richmond said. “We don’t have relationships with those fire departments so we are really unable to verify their levels of training expertise and we don’t have staff to do it for them.” Last month the CRD sent a letter to the fire commissioner asking for clarification about training levels and jurisdiction. The CRD will also be investigating what other regional districts are doing with respect to fire-related safety inspections in the rural areas, and the implica-

tions of advising the fire commissioner’s office that CRD volunteers will no longer act in the capacity of local assistant fire commissioners. “Whereas municipalities do undertake fire inspections, in the regional district we don’t conduct those, we don’t have a full-time fire chief to do that,” Richmos explained. The CRD in previous discussions with the province has suggested it look at a model that employs electrical inspectors in rural areas to incorporate fire safety inspections as another responsibility. The CRD does not have fire departments in all rural areas, Richmond added.
Court date scheduled for six charged in double homicide Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The six people charged in connection with the double homicide in Anahim Lake on Boxing Day are expected to make their next appearances in BC Supreme Court in Williams Lake on March 25, 2015. The charges stem from an incident on Dec. 26 when the Anahim RCMP received a report at 11:53 p.m. that shots had been
fired at a home in the 2,100 block of Dorsey Road in a rural area of Anahim Lake. Upon arrival the police found 23-yearold Matthew Hennigar and 22-year-old Kalvin Andy both dead at the scene. Hennigar was living in Anahim Lake at the time of his death and left behind a wife and small son. Andy was from Bella Coola. On Dec. 29 the RCMP announced that Crown had ap-
proved a charge of first degree murder against 27-yearold Bryan Everett O’Reilly, charges of second degree murder against 28-yearold Christian Cracian and 25-year-old Andrew Jongbloets, and charges of manslaughter using a firearm against 33-yearold Lucille Mack and 22-year-old Stephen Mecham. Since the charges were announced all six have made court
appearances with the most recent being Wednesday, Feb. 25, when Cracian, and O’Reilly, who both remain in custody,

How about some personal responsibility?
Celebrating International Women’s Day
S
o far in 2015 we have a number of political fusses locally (Mt. Polley) provincially (Site C, budget cuts) and federally (too many to list). I have questions about political decision making. If politicians feel strongly about an issue for whatever reason, be it for the good of the nation, party policy, or personal preference, should they barge ahead even if they know there could French be unfortunate Connection consequences in Diana French the long term? Business people have to cope on their own with the results of their mistakes. Politicians are often long gone when any kaka from their decision making hits the fan. Even if they are still in office, they aren’t held personally responsible and the government (me and thee) has to pick up the pieces and bear any costs. If politicians, like business people, had to take some personal responsibility for any boneheaded decisions they might make, would they take a more comprehensive approach to decision making? Like considering long term impacts? *** In these days of electronic gismos, toys like Lego aren’t high on little folks’ agendas. None of my great grandchildren were excited about the box of Lego I had leftover from their dad’s. The Lego just took up space until I visited GS #4 one day recently. He and his roommates are gamers. They have a table with weird looking creature thingies on it and some strange structures made of — guess what — Lego. They were delighted when they heard of my collection and they were as pleased to get it as I was to give it. It did strike me odd that hulking male adults are interested in the tiny play blocks when my small relatives are not. The thing I remember about the Lego when my boys had them is that some always got loose and wandered around on the floor. I can remember the pain of stepping on one with a bare foot which happened more than once. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune.

Our Viewpoint
Left in the dark School trustees across B.C., including those in School District 27, must be scratching their heads at their premier’s apparent lack of awareness about what’s going on in their schools and administration offices. Last week, Christy Clark suggested school boards grab a step-ladder and start picking some “low-hanging fruit” to the tune of nearly $54 million over the next two years from district administrative costs. Later, Education Minister Peter Fassbender clarified that school districts must find efficiencies to get administrative costs down to six per cent, where they were 10 years ago, which requires 0.5 per cent savings this year and one per cent the year after. While there is a concern that trimming administrative costs will eat up valuable dollars that must go to the classroom, the province should lead the way by showing where this cost-cutting should be made. BC School Trustees’ Association president Teresa Rezansoff has been quoted as saying that Clark’s comments ignore the fact that school districts are already

working together to save money and have been doing so for years. Among the ideas being touted throughout the province is converting school board meetings to a paperless model and moving professional development workshops outside school hours, thereby saving in substitute teaching costs. Bulk buying, sharing services — many of these measures have been tried with more or less success, depending on the district and the circumstances. One area that has been discussed is the high cost of legal services. CUPE has argued the district could do more to cut arbitration costs but clamping down on legal charges has been difficult given the large number of Freedom of Information requests and the district is also paying higher legal fees to resolve student-related issues. Everyone hates waste but instead of making off-the-cuff comments, would the premier please show school boards exactly where the hidden cache of cash is located? - Black Press

ach year International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8. Over a century ago, the first International Women’s Day marked the ongoing struggle for a woman’s right to work, vote, hold public office and end gender discrimination. On this day, in many regions all over the world — we celebrate the progress made by women, their acts of courage, respect MLA and love and the Musings appreciation towards women for Coralee Oakes their economic, political and social achievements in the history of their countries and communities. I will be joining others in our community in the celebration at the Billy Barker Casino Hotel Showroom in Quesnel. The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day is, Make It Happen. In 2013, women accounted for almost 38 per cent of self-employed people in B.C.; that is above the national average of 36.3 per cent and the second highest rate among the provinces. Organizations like the Women’s Enterprise Centre (WEC), a leading business resource centre for women who are starting, purchasing or growing a small business in our province, have been instrumental in helping women entrepreneurs launch successful businesses. This is through one-to-one mentoring and advisory forums designed to enhance the entrepreneurial skills of women in B.C. Right now there are also approximately 3,900 registered women apprentices in B.C., representing 10.5 per cent of all registered apprentices. That’s up from 8.5 per cent in 2009. Also, over the next decade, there will be more than one million job openings in B.C., 44 per cent of which are expected to be trades or technical occupations. Doors are opening for women who want to pursue careers as electricians, sheet-metal workers, plumbers, carpenters or heavy equipment operators — just to name a few. Let us recognize and honour the achievements of the women who touch our lives: our mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, friends, colleagues and business owners as we celebrate International Women’s Day. Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

I don’t know if this situation is totally a school board decision, but it is certainly a disappointing turn of events for our community. This lack of support from our school board causes me to dream of a day when Williams Lake would have an arts/community centre that remained affordable to small community organizations. The old Glendale School comes to mind with classrooms for groups/clubs to meet and a gymnasium for special events that require such a space. Of course for that to happen, we need a Fairy Godmother or maybe a Timber King. How does a log community centre sound? An affordable one, of course! Mary Anne Turner Williams Lake

Prince George Cougars visit heartfelt by hockey players Editor: We would like to share our story about the Prince George Cougars Western Hockey League Team visit. While Prince George was hosting the Canada Winter Games, Prince George Cougars donated their space (for the Games) and decided to embark on a road trip and stop at three locations in the Cariboo before their next scheduled game. Their first stop was Quesnel, second was Williams Lake, and third was 100 Mile House. We are writing about our experience in Williams Lake and hope we can express our gratitude through this letter.

If you can imagine an arena full of young hockey players, excited to meet potential future NHL stars, then you can well imagine the excitement at our twin arena last week. Players from Novice, Atom and PeeWee were fortunate to have time on the ice with the Cougars, as well as in the dressing room and at a ‘meet and greet.’ The Prince George Cougars patiently waited for all our players to have autographs, receive toques and other memorabilia as well as listen to any stories our players wanted to share. The on-ice time was extremely valuable not only for our players, but for the PG Cou-
gars as well. The raw beauty of the sport of hockey shone through each players’ eyes last week as games of scrimmage broke out on the ice. Players who typically kept to themselves became alive with stories once they got home. Some players immediately loaded the PG Cougars website to study stats while one drafted a report to share with her class (positions, players, home towns etc.). Corporate social responsibility is good not only for business, but for those who are touched by it. Our association and players are extremely grateful for this experience. We are further grateful for their
cash donation to our association. We guarantee that this gift will be put to good use. We would like to thank Prince George Cougars players and staff for taking the time to notice the players in the Cariboo. We also thank our parents who took the time to bring their players down to support the PG visit. We hope that their team can make its way down again some day. We would welcome them with open arms!

While the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce organizes the annual Business Excellence Awards banquet coming up on March 14, the chamber members themselves do not actually judge this event. This task is performed by a panel of five judges, who independently assess the nominations, and whose identity is only known to the Business Excellence Committee chair who appointed them. “The nomination process is the single most important component of the awards,” says chamber executive director Claudia Blair. “The process has been tweaked a little over the years making changes that the judges deemed needed attention or would improve the process.” Every year the chamber strikes a Business Excellence Committee to oversee all aspects of the event including the awards nomination and judging process. The actual judging of nominations is done by an independent panel of five adjudi-
cators selected by the particular year’s Business Excellence Committee chair. Blair emphasizes that chamber board members are never involved in judging. The committee chair normally chooses the judges from the city proper area in recognition of volunteer time required. In order to maintain a completely unbiased process the names of the judges are only known to the committee chair, Blair says. The judges’ names are not known to each other, or to any other chamber members or staff. In order to try and prevent any conflicts in selecting the judges, the committee chair reads all of the nomination papers before selecting the judges. That way he or she can try to select judges that are not nominated themselves for an award, did not nominate anyone for an award and are not in conflict in other ways such as being an employee of a company nominated. “It isn’t a perfect system by any means, especially when we work in a small community where most
everyone knows everyone,” Blair says. “We have changed it up a little over the years and tried to get better at what we do to be as fair as possible. Each judge selected is given a package with all of the nominations in it, along with the judging criteria and a point system with which to evaluate each nomination. Each judge reviews and evaluates the nominations independently and tabulates their marks on the judging sheets provided. Judges may also add comments or concerns. The committee chair re-checks the judge’s tabulations before giving them to Blair and her staff to check again. The highest score wins the award in each category. The Business Excellence Awards night is coming up at the Elks Hall on March 14. Businesses nominated for the Business Excellence Awards do not have to be chamber members. Anyone can also nominate a business for an award. “Sometimes the biggest challenge in the nomination process is getting people to nominate others,” Blair says.

Bruce MacLeod Special to Tribune/Advisor Approximately 50 people or more attended the Mount Polley Mines open house presentation, and we all seemed to go home much the wiser for our time. As we all know, this is an unprecedented event in B.C. mining history; all the worst case scenarios that anyone could imagine couldn’t have anticipated this kind of tailing pond breach. The clean up and reparation of the Hazeltine Creek and the lower Edney Creek are virtually done, and the reforestation plan is in
place, and the tailings storage facility construction is proceeding at a rapid pace; in fact my impression is that all the land reclamation is well in hand considering the massive scope of the job, and the trees and logs in Quesnel Lake seem to be grouped up and under control. The turbidity in the Quesnel Lake and Likely water is the largest issue the Ministry of the Environment, and Imperial Metals have to deal with.

There was a couple who lived two miles from the mouth of Hazeltine Creek who reported that they were using five water filters compared to the one they normally used over a two week
period, so the turbidity may be more of an esthetic human problem than a real hazard. The single ongoing unknown factor is the vast amount of tailings extending from the mouth of Hazeltine Creek out into Quesnel Lake. The tailings depth starts somewhere around two or three meters and extends in all directions. It may take some time for this sediment to pack down so it doesn’t move around when the wind blows, or the water turns, and continue to cause turbidity in the Likely drinking water, and the same for the Ques-

Romeros join Vinyl Cafe tour this week Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Just a week back from their month-long tour in Scotland, Wales and England, Horsefly’s celebrated folk duo Jason and Pharis Romero are hitting the road this week with Stuart McLean and the Vinyl Cafe. And they will be making the tour with their new album A Wanderer I’ll Stay that was just released on Tuesday. The duo will be performing on CBC Radio’s Vinyl Cafe and chatting with Stuart McLean in Grand Prairie, Alta., today Wednesday, March 4; in Fort St. John on Thursday, March 5; in Dawson Creek on Friday, March 6; and in Prince George at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 8. Tickets for the Prince George event at the CN Centre are available at ticketmaster. Pharis’s mom, Emily, will be flying out from the coast to meet the family in Grand Prairie and help take care of the Romero’s 16-month-old daughter, Indigo. Indigo also travelled with the couple on their tour of the UK, last month with the help of Pharis’s sister, Marin Patenaude, who is also a singer/musician and came along on the tour as their nanny. The group flew in to Scotland first and played 20 shows in Scotland, Wales and England, during their month-long tour, which also included teaching a few singing workshops. “It was awesome and very intense,” Pharis says. “We played everything from a 40-person house concert to a 400-seat theatre and most of the shows were sold out.” Pharis says their new album A Wanderer I’ll Stay is a combination of traditional and independent folk stylings with more of their own original songs on it. “It has a new spin that is informed by all of the years we have spent listening to old music,” Pharis says. They hired Toronto-based engineer/producer David Travers-

Travers-Smith came to Horsefly with his equipment and did the recording in the workshop where Jason and Pharis make custom banjos for local and international customers. Travers-Smith has earned numerous awards and Juno nominations for his work recording noted Canadian artists such as the Wailin’ Jennys and Ruth Moody.
Pharis says having a baby around the house has actually resulted in she and Jason writing more songs together than they did before they had Indigo. “Time is more precious so we make more of the time that we do have,” Pharis says. Jason has already made Indigo a little drum of her own to play and she is learning how to strum and pluck strings on toy stringed
instruments. Some of her first words were guitar and banjo. Pharis says it is nice to have the support of her family in their musical endeavours. Mom Emily, also came up from the coast to help out with Indigo and made some great meals for them all when they were recording the album, Pharis says. “It was really a fun time.”

A Step Ahead Williams Lake to Host Provincial Mountain Bike Tourism Symposium Williams Lake will have an incredible opportunity to showcase its trails as the city welcomes hundreds of mountain bikers and industry professionals from across British Columbia to the Provincial Mountain Bike Tourism Symposium this fall. From Oct. 2nd to 4th, the city will host a diverse group of industry professionals including media, destination marketers, commercial operators, land managers, government and industry representatives, professional riders, and mountain bike advocates. The City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional District have a long history of supporting mountain biking, and recognize the positive economic impact mountain bike tourism has on our region. A partnership between local governments and the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium and the Williams Lake Cycling Club continues to develop mountain biking infrastructure and promotion in the Cariboo.
Horsefly River Roundtable discusses small mouth bass problem Bruce MacLeod Special to Tribune/Advisor The Horsefly River Roundtable’s annual general meeting Thursday, Feb. 19 was short and sweet Last year’s minutes were accepted; the financial report was closely scrutinized; and the directors were selected. The 2015 directors in no particular order are Brian Englund, Ray LeBourdais, Sam Albers, Ernie Gruhs, Bruce MacLeod, and Blaine Bowie. Exofficio directors are Judy Hillaby from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Maureen LeBourdais from the Fraser Basin Council. A number of topics were discussed. Habitat enhancement projects for Wilmot, Tisdall, Black, Sucker, and Patenaude Creeks, but what we accomplish depends entirely upon how successful we are with our current funding applications, which are extremely demanding. The Fisheries Sensitive Watershed classification for the Horsefly River and Moffat Creek watersheds which had stud-
ies and recommendations done in 2010 was discussed. The general feeling was that by the time anything is printed and discussed and meetings are held with the various concerned companies and the general public, it will be too late to implement the plan, because the Horsefly watershed is already logged out, and the Moffat Creek watershed is virtually wiped out as well. As advocates for our fish stocks, no one on the Roundtable is very happy about this, but it seems there is political pressure slowing the process. No one can really explain why an important study such as this could be shelved once someone took the time to review it. The small mouth bass situation in the
Beaver Lakes was discussed. It seems someone may be paying attention, although as with all things, much too late. Judy Hillaby our DFO representative explained that history has proven that the only predator that kills bass is larger bass. Large lake trout, burbot, rainbows; nothing survives the bass once they gain access to any watershed and establish themselves. Rotenone in large quantities put into the watershed will kill the bass, as well as every other living thing in the water. The roundtable is opposed to this because of the swampy terrain and hiding places. Who knows if it would be a one hundred per cent kill?

Several other ways to inhibit bass were also discussed, with many of the fishermen present being unable to understand why we can’t open them to unlimited fishing and at the very least slow them down substantially, but the Department of Fisheries is just as adamant that fishing for bass is a punishable offence. There will be more on the bass problem once the B.C. government funds some control studies. The Choate Creek project was discussed, along with some of the yearly problems the land owner has faced with the annual flooding, and road washouts. The land owner has volunteered to come and give a synopsis of the process that has gotten him this far dealing with the various levels of bureaucracy, which should be

LICENCE TO THRILL
This partnership, coupled with world class single track, a dedicated local riding community, continued trail maintenance, and a strong relationship with Recreation Sites and Trails BC, helped create the winning bid to host the Provincial Mountain Bike Tourism Symposium in Williams Lake this fall. Eleven communities from throughout BC submitted proposals but unique Cariboo qualities helped Williams Lake win the bid.

an adventure in itself. The Roundtable is going to join The Great Canadian Shoreline Clean Up. We have a new volunteer, Jane Fitschen who will spearhead our clean ups. We really have to hold off until the water levels go down, so late August, early September seem likely times to hold events. Stay tuned. The Roundtable is going to put up a plaque honouring the late Clarence Hooker for his 17 years working on the spawning channel, and organizing our annual salmon egg races. It was also suggested that a picture of the founding members and contributing members be done as well, to acknowledge their contribution to the salmon walk and ongoing public education. The Mount Polley meeting which the Roundtable helped to set up was discussed. The Roundtable is definitely on the fence on this subject, as no one really can say what the long-term effect of the spill will have on our fish stocks with any certainty. The next meeting will be at the Horsefly Public Library at 7 p.m. on March 19.

FEELINGS
Your Preschooler and… Feelings Your child’s emotional development is also an important part of getting ready for school. Since birth, your child has been developing many emotions, from sad, to happy, to angry. Entry to school will be helped by learning to handle feelings appropriately. As part of emotional growth, your child will typically develop deeper qualities like caring, self esteem, flexibility and may better understand others’ feelings. All of these things will help him or her meet the challenges of school. Generally, your preschooler will begin to talk more about feelings and understand both negative and positive emotions. Being able to cope with frustration and anger typically improves between age three and Kindergarten. Preschoolers may begin to develop a sense of self esteem and confidence.

There were cheers and tears as racers watched the wooden race cars they hand crafted fly to the finish line at the Awana Grand Prix last month. As in life, only one can win and there were some drivers whose cars were slower than others but all 60 entries left the Evangelical Free Church on 11th Avenue after the event Feb. 20 with some reward. Their greatest reward was the satisfaction of a job well done. For this evening of racing the club members meticulously fashioned their racing cars from a block of pine wood into a fascinating array of vehicles. There were tradi-

SOFTBALL Try some of these with your preschooler: 1. Talk about feelings and what might cause them: “You are feeling really happy. Is it because we’re going to the park?” 2. Expand vocabulary using new words to describe your child’s feelings like “disappointed”, “frustrated”, “excited” and “surprised”. 3. Listen to and accept your child’s concerns. Reassure and comfort with a cuddle, showing the love that you have for your child. 4. Encourage your preschooler to talk about him or herself: “Tell me three things that you like to eat.” “Can you think of something that makes you happy?” 5. Pause while reading a book and ask your preschooler how a character might be feeling. 6. Show how to handle emotions positively yourself. Suggest to your child different ideas for coping with emotions and how you do it. 7. Address inappropriate behaviour immediately and calmly. Preschoolers usually have fewer tantrums, but may fight over things like toys. Help cope with tantrums by discussing afterward what helps your child feel better when experiencing frustration or anger. 8. Model patience and persistence in all your tasks. Children will learn to stick with things by acting like their parents.

Each participant carved their vehicle from the same shaped block of wood which they took home several weeks earlier to craft with their families. On race night the children were competing for trophies and bragging rights in their respective age groups. The track, constructed by Rod Voth and Jim Shetler, made provision for four cars to race simultaneously down a sloping ramp towards the judging station where sharpeyed judges picked the winners from the speeding cars.
Jason Grieg was charged with the responsibility of getting the cars ready for each heat and launching them down the track. Trophies were awarded for originality, care in finishing as well as speed. Several of the leaders took their turn at the concession stand. The organizers were thrilled by the parental attendance and plan on making this an annual affair.

of food ending up in the garbage rather than needy stomachs, says Brianna van de Wijngaard, water and waste wise community liaison for the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society which is hosting the film. van de Wijngaard says Rustemeyer’s team will screen the film that will be followed by a discussion. Admission is by donation suggested at $5. Just Eat It brings farmers, retailers, inspiring organizations, and consumers to the table in a cinematic story that is equal parts education and delicious entertainment, states the film biography. Filmmakers and food lovers Jenny and Grant Baldwin dive into the issue of food waste from farm, through retail, all the way to the back of their own fridge. After catching a glimpse of the billions
of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America, they pledge to quit grocery shopping and survive only on discarded food. In a nation where one in 10 people is food insecure, the images they capture of squandered groceries are both shocking and strangely compelling. This Canadianmade film has already won awards for Best Canadian Feature at the Planet in Focus festival and Edmonton International Film Festival, and Must See BC and Most Popular Documentary at the Vancouver International Film Festival, amongst others. Rustemeyer is also producer and co-star of the award-winning film The Clean Bin Project. Recovered snacks and and drinks will be available. People are asked to bring a mug that is recyclable.

quite an unremarkable island, not unlike many others up and down the river, but this little piece of land is known by the locals as the Mad Russian’s Island, and therein lies a story. Around 1956, a man appeared in the Soda Creek area and began gold panning on the sand and gravel bars there. He built a small shack in the bush and lived there on his own. Rumours, of course, began to circulate, the most common one being that he was a Russian immigrant with a past who wanted little, if anything, to do with society. Another one was that he had been a spy for the West (it was the height of the Cold War) and he was in hiding from the Russian KGB. Whatever his story was, he did not share it with anyone. He was content to do some small scale placer mining, to live a hermitlike existence, and to trade the gold he found for the necessities of life. Then, in 1958, he built a raft, loaded up his partly dismantled shack and
t
all his belongings on it, and floated downriver to the unnamed island just below the Buckskin Ranch. His first order of business was to build a tripod device with a boom and block and tackle to lift the load off the raft and put it on the island. For several years, this was the method by which he offloaded larger pieces of equipment. He lived in the rough shack for a couple of years while he logged the island and set up a homestead on the south end. He brought in a head saw, and powered it with a Volkswagen engine, and with this mill he cut lumber for a house and outbuildings. One whole wall of his house was a fireplace/chimney complex of mortared river rocks. The house consisted of one larger room with a sod floor. He also brought in an old wood cook stove which was used for both cooking and heating. For several years, he continued to improve his island homestead, building furniture, cutting firewood, digging
and planting a garden, building an outhouse and adding a root cellar. All the while, he panned and sluiced for gold on the banks of the river and the gravel bars nearby. He began work on a shaft — some say that like Billy Barker, he was looking for a gold vein deeper down near bedrock, while others speculate that he was working on an access tunnel which would run under the river. Even though he had very little to do with the local residents, occasionally he would find it necessary to borrow a tool or implement from Rudy Johnson at the Buckskin Ranch. Rudy says that the man never really talked much, and wouldn’t stay for a visit. He just borrowed the tool and left — but he always returned the item all cleaned up and polished in like new condition. Even though he kept very much to himself, he could not avoid going into Williams lake two or three times each year for necessary supplies. See MYSTERY Page A20

Crib tournament Sunday Pat Cassidy Smart 55 The snow is melting, the sun is shining and the bees are buzzing around, thinking that spring is here. The Seniors’ Activity Centre is like a Beehive of activities; and the OAPO directors are busy planning the upcoming events for the month of March. There is the crib tournament on March 8. This event was so well received that I understand that the tickets are already sold out. On March 19 there is the
Shamrock Luncheon and bake sale. The menu is ham, potatoes, veggies and dessert. Lunch is at 11:30 a.m. The $6 admission is paid at the door. Watch for the flyers. This year the OAPO is planning something new. They are holding a garage sale on Saturday, March 28 from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., down in the basement, so as not to disturb the bingo players. We surely must live in an affluent society, when you see all the
lovely stuff that is discarded. Twice a year the ladies who quilt at the centre donate a quilt for the OAPO to raffle off. You will soon see them selling tickets at the Seniors’ Centre, Safeway, Save On and Walmart. The tickets cost only $2 each about the price of a cup of coffee in some places. So, you don’t need a quilt, but it will be a lovely gift for that someone in your life and also you will be helping the seniors at the centre. The Williams Lake
Seniors’ Activity Centre is unique from the other centres in that we have two executive boards. The board of directors for the centre is responsible for the maintenance and the running of the centre. The directors of the OAPO are involved in the social aspect of the centre. They are the ones who organize the teas, etc. etc. They try to have an event for each month. This arrangement seems to be working out very well with the co-operation between the two boards.
Mystery shrouds disappearance Continued From Page A19
He had a wooden rowboat which he had built himself (later equipped with a 10 horsepower motor) for crossing the river. Hidden in the bush near the riverbank, he kept a bicycle with a big carrier rack on it. He would use this bike to ride back and forth to town where he would trade his gold for the items he needed. Sometime in the early 1970s, perhaps in 1972 or 1973, he just disappeared. The RCMP were notified, and they called the local coroner, but after a thorough search, no trace of the man was found. His house looked as if he had just stepped out for a while, with dishes on the table and cookwear on the stove. His root cellar was full of homemade preserves and his firewood supply was well stocked. The shaft, however, was full of water and completely inaccessible. His wooden boat was located downriver, overturned near the mouth of Williams Lake Creek, and it was widely believed that he had drowned. But did he? Two or three years later, rumours began to circulate that he had a sister who lived in the Pitt Meadows area, and that he was seen there
working on her peat farm. This speculation just added to the other rumours that had been circulating about the man since he first arrived in the area. Was he really a Russian? Some say he was Swiss. What of his past? Was he escaping from something? Some people believe that he was an architect by trade and that he entered Canada illegally. He certainly was good with his hands, and seemed to be able to build or fix anything.
What was his name? A few old timers say they called him Joe, but whether that was his real name or not, we will never know. The homestead is overgrown now, and the house has fallen into ruin. You can still see the island and the remains of the buildings if you pull into the small parking area on the second switchback on the road above Rudy’s Bridge. Just walk a few yards to the precipice and look down. On a nice, sunny day, the island and the
homestead look like they are the perfect setting for getting away from it all. Our area is full of interesting stories about the gold rush, but this one is from the modern era, and it is just as compelling. This Russian gold seeker seems to have been a man who came along about 100 years too late. He would have fit right in to the Cariboo Gold Rush, and the legend of the Mad Russian’s Island would have been another great tale.

trails around the resort, while others enjoyed visiting and the view from the lodge. It was a beautiful, warm, blue-sky day with temperatures rising to 4C, still cool enough for the skiers and warm enough for the older seniors to enjoy some time outdoors. The outing that was organized by Seniors’ Activity Centre manager Glenda Winger with long-time ski enthusiasts Ed and Midori Kozuki and Ruth and Jim Fraser. “The conditions were ideal,” said George Atamanenko who skied with Ed. “The snow was churned up and ready to go.” We had a wonderful lunch at the lodge. Some people brought their own lunch and the cafeteria also had everything we needed, soup, sandwiches, desserts, tea, coffee, pop and juice. There was lots to see. Students from Cataline Elementary School were there learning how to ski and snowboard. The view was impressive. From the top of Little Timothy Mountain one could see Big Timothy Mountain plus a range of snow-capped mountains. Nearby spruce, pine, and willow trees swayed in the breeze and some of the pussy willows, with branches

We also played games and won prizes, activities all well organized by Ruth Fraser. We ate chocolates and had a jolly time. While the trip was on Wednesday, Feb. 18, the theme was Valentine’s Day that was celebrated just a few days earlier. The road to the hill was in good condition with only one pothole encountered. At a cost of $20 for the day it was a great outing for younger and older seniors alike. Thank you Ed, Midori, Ruth, Jim, and Glenda.

Staff Writer Smart 55
Staying healthy as we age is critical, and a big part of maintaining overall fitness includes a healthy mouth, says Dr. Rudy Wassenaar of Williams Lake Smiles. The Williams Lake dentist reached a new milestone with his implant dentistry this year to help clients achieve that goal by joining 426 other dentists across North America in becoming an expert in implant care. Specifically he has been named a Diplomate in Implant Dentistry by the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry. “As you get older, you want fewer problems to deal with rather than more. That’s what implants mean for the elderly,” said Wassenaar. Having the option of getting implants right here in Williams Lake is also important for seniors as they don’t have to travel for the service, he said, noting there are many advantages to having implants. Implants help main-

Wassenaar said seniors who experience teeth trouble can become malnourished over time due to a lack of fibre and vitamins caused by an inability to eat properly. Some seniors also suffer in silence with pain or self esteem issues surrounding their teeth, leading to loneliness. “They just won’t go out if their having trouble, and so they become more and more isolated.”
Wassenaar’s latest implant credentials puts him in an elite class of about a dozen other dentists in the country, he explained. To qualify as a diplomate, Wassenaar had to apply to write the exam, submit courses he’d taken to date, and complete 400 hours of specified dental implant training. Wassenar has been making implants for almost 30 years, so to qualify for the diplomate

certain variety, complexity and show different areas of the mouth. He also wrote a board exam and participated in an oral exam where an expert panel of implant dentists discussed the cases he submitted and asked him questions. The panel wanted to see cases he had done years ago to observe how the implants have lasted. They asked him questions about more recent cases and queried him about other dentists’ cases. “They give you two minutes to look at the case and then ask what I would do in this case, why and why not,” he said. For example, if a patient has no teeth at all how would he rebuild

Yank’s Peak Fun Day

Student racers take off from the starting line during the first ever Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club Elementary School Tournament Sunday at Bull Mountain Ski Area.
Ski club hosts first ever school tournament Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club’s first ever Elementary School Tournament was a resounding success, said Jackrabbits co-ordinator Rob Sutton. Thirty-five-plus students aged four to 12 from Nesika, Chilcotin Road, Christian Academy, Mountview, Sacred Heart, Maranatha and home schoolers represented their schools in a series of classic, skate skiing and relay races on Sunday at Bull Mountain. “It went really well considering this was our first time organizing a ski tournament,” Sutton said. “We had really great volunteers helping to make everything run smoothly.” It was the first event held at Bull Mountain in close to 10 years, Sutton said, and because it was so popular, the club plans to make it an annual event. “We got a lot of good comments from the parents, volunteers and kids on how the day turned out,” he said. “It made the event very fun to organize and I enjoyed working with so many great people.” The top three in each age group were as follows:

Cougars create memories for WLMHA players Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Western Hockey League’s Prince George Cougars didn’t have any problems making friends last week when they took to the ice in Williams Lake to skate with players from the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association. The team, travelling south for a road trip last Tuesday, made a stop in Williams Lake for a three-on-three tournament at Total Ice Training Centre, before practicing with WLMHA teams, signing autographs, handing out team swag and chatting with fans later at the Cariboo Memorial Recreating Complex. The team also stopped in Quesnel on Monday and in 100 Mile House on Wednesday for similar
sessions. Cougars’ head coach Mark Holick said the visit went above and beyond what they expected. “We had a blast,” Holick said. “You look at the [autograph] table there, they’re engaging the kids, talking with the kids, having fun. The hockey players are real genuine kids and I think it kind of brings them back to the good old days.” Cougars’ centre Zach Pochiro — a 2013 draft pick of the NHL’s St. Louis Blues — echoed Holick’s comments, noting he had a fun time on the ice. “It’s great,” he said. “It means a lot to the kids and it’s always nice for us to get away and kind of like a vacation. You get to come out here and mess around with the kids and get back to the
things that made you love hockey so it’s nice to be out here with the younger ones.” Williams Lake atom Green Machines player Raiden Lainchbury said the chance to skate with future NHL stars and get a few hockey tips was his favourite part of the evening. “I got some good pointers on the ice — a couple of different things,” Lainchbury said. “Too much to count. I liked how they were signing everything, our jerseys, and how they’d come ask you questions, things like that.” Novice player Tyler Kitsul said playing scrimmages with the Cougars was the best. “It felt good to play with them,” Kitsul said. “It was a lot of fun.” At the conclusion of the meet and greet,

fer Loewen, atom division manager, noting the excitement of the players after the evening. “Players who typi-
cally kept to themselves became alive with stories once they got home. Some players immediately loaded the PG Cougars’ web-
site to study stats while one drafted a report to share with her class. We would welcome them [back] with open arms.”
