NEWS Taseko’s defamation trial resumes end of March Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The B.C. Supreme Court case examining the defamation suit launched by Taseko Mines Ltd. against the Wilderness Committee will resume March 31, April 1 and 2, 2015, when lawyers for both sides will return to court to present final arguments. The trial, which began on Jan. 19, heard both sides argue for and against the suit,

which was launched by Taseko in November 2012. In the suit the company alleges the Wilderness Committee published defamatory statements in online publications to encourage members of the public to participate in the review process for the New Prosperity Mine located 125 kilometres south west of Williams Lake. In its court documents, Taseko stated the defamatory state-

ments were motivated by express malice of the Wilderness Committee, arising from the known publication of falsehoods and continued publication of falsehoods after notification. “Our observation is the trial went very well,” said Brian Battison, Taseko’s vicepresident of corporate affairs. However, Wilderness Committee director Joe Foy said given the current debate over

the Mount Polley tailings dam disaster he thinks people across the country will be watching the court case closely to better understand what restrictions there are (if any) regarding public comment on proposed large industrial projects like mines. “At the Wilderness Committee we are proud to stand up for the right for everyone to speak or write freely on these issues,” Foy told the Tribune.

Winds bring down trees in city Continued From Page A1 “In Kamloops at 1 p.m. the wind gusted up to 87 km/hr.” Many local residents were dealt a first-hand blow by the storm. Seniors Alan and Joan McLeod who live on Kinglet Road in Russett Bluff, a few kilometres outside the city limits, were sitting eating a late lunch when a large double-

trunked Douglas-Fir tree in their yard began to lean. “I saw it lean and then crash down onto our roof,” Joan said as she and Alan stood outside assessing the damage afterwards. In the 24 years the McLeods have lived there, they’ve seen wind storms, but nothing as strong as Saturday’s. “We’ve never had a Douglas-Fir come down,” Joan said.

Across the street from the McLeods, Ernie Hrynkewich and his young neighbour Colton Vickers stood next to the roots of a Blue Spruce that came down in Ernie’s yard during the storm. “It was about 60 feet high,” Ernie said of the Spruce. “We saw the corner come up and up beneath it and then the tree came down wrecking a large flower box and part of the fence.”

Further up Kinglet another couple were also waiting for BC Hydro to arrive. A large tree came down, knocked out the power line to their home, and broke the hydro metre off. Mosure said the power outages were a result of trees down on wires and phase slapping, where the strong winds uncover protective covering and wires slap together.

TNG and government reach interim agreements on rights and title Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The provincial government and Tsilhqot’in Nation announced Friday they’ve reached some interim agreements while they continue to work through the process of transferring Aboriginal title lands to Tsilhqot’in management following the Supreme Court of Canada decision on Aboriginal title last June. “It’s kind of been a hurry up and wait situation,” Xeni Gwet’in

Chief Roger William told the Tribune Friday. “Our community members do feel things from the ground are moving slowly, but I think a lot of the agreements we’re working on are coming from the community. And many local operators have been calling me to find out where things are at.” William said the agreements are interim because the Tsilhqot’in are looking not only at the title land but at the entire Tsilhqot’in territory. “We want to make

sure things are consistent throughout the territory, rather than one ‘island’ where everything is different,” he explained. “We are making these little agreements so we can keep moving forward with that in mind.” So far the two sides have agreed in 2015, that road maintenance, emergency and wildfire response will continue to be under provincial and federal government jurisdiction. As reported in the Tribune last month, the Tsilhqot’in Nation

and Xeni Gwet’in First Nations Government have authorized the extension of existing guide outfitter licences for one year to provide those businesses with certainty for the upcoming season. “The agreement stipulates there will be no increase to guiding quotas compared to the 2013/14 year,” both sides noted in a joint press release. All fees associated with guide outfitting in the title area will be paid to the Province and remitted to the Tsilhqot’in Nation.

The Tsilhqot’in Nation and Xeni Gwet’in have not authorized other hunting activities within the Title lands. B.C.’s Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation John Rustad said the “complex” reconciliation process is a profound opportunity to build a stronger relationship and develop a renewed vision with the Tsilhqot’in Nation. “I am confident we are going in the right direction to build stable economic, political and community

partnerships with the Tsilhqot’in people,” Rustad stated. Other interim agreements are in the works, however, William said it’s too early to say what they will be. In the meantime the Tsilhqot’in are hoping to develop some new interpretive signage incorporating Tsilhqot’in names and English names for places within the region. “We want to show our history both for our people, the people of the Cariboo-Chilcotin, B.C., Canada, and

visitors to our area,” William explained. In its June 26, 2014 ruling the Supreme Court of Canada granted Aboriginal Title to the Tsilhqot’in Nation. Aboriginal Title includes the right to exclusive use and occupation of the land, the right to the economic benefits of the land, and the ability to determine how the land is used. The ruling was the first in Canada designating Aboriginal Title to a large tract of land outside of a reserve.

Recent fires all human-caused: fire chief Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake Fire Chief Des Webster said the seven wild land fires his department has responded to in the last few days have all been human caused. “I would like to remind people of the unseasonably dry conditions right now and be vigilant with any burning they might be doing on their property,” Webster told the Tribune Monday. So far the department responded to a grass fire behind Collier Place off Mackenzie Avenue, three grass fires in Boitanio Park, one on Moon Avenue and one off the end of Westridge Drive. Webster said starting on Wednesday, March 18, the fire department will begin its annual prescribed burns and will continue with them for the next couple of weeks. The schedule is on page two in today’s Tribune. Williams Lake Indian Band’s natural resource manager Aaron Higginbottom said

the band’s fire department has begun prescribed burns at Sugar Cane and will continue throughout the week. The band has been doing the prescribed burning in spring as part of a three-yearmanagement burn plan with the Ministry of Forests. Under the Indian Act, First Nations have the ability to pass a burning law, but most haven’t, according to the band’s economic development officer Kirk Dressler. “We are in the process of developing an open burning law under our land code,” Dressler said. “We’ve transitioned out of the Indian Act to this form of sectoral self-government, so we have jurisdiction to develop our own laws now and that gives us more flexibility and creativity.” Presently WLIB has a full fleet of heavy equipment and a new fire truck. Nine people are on the volunteer fire department and all of them have been undergoing training.

set burning conditions and impose sanctions on those who fail to comply with the regulations. Higginsbottom said the crew submits requests to Chief and Council, gathers approval, sends notice to the community via flyers, radio, and eventually in person as they enter private yards to let them know to close windows or give people with breathing difficulties a chance to leave and visit family members. “We also inform our neighbours, businesses

and finally the Cariboo Fire Centre that we are about to light up areas within the reserve,” he said. “Our hope is that there will be less and less people lighting fires on their own without the benefit of equipment and personnel on hand to assist if the fire may get out of control. There havebeen too many instances of people attempting to burn in poor conditions and having the local fire department or wild land fire suppression crews attending these fires.”

BIRTHDAY BASH Greg Sabatino photo

The City of Williams Lake celebrated its 86th birthday Sunday at the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin with a birthday tea. Here, Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin president Ruth Walters (from left), alongside current mayor Walt Cobb and past mayors Ethel Winger, Jim Fraser and Scott Nelson cut the birthday cake.

Weather a reminder to prevent wildlife encounters With spring just around the corner, the Ministry of Environment is reminding the public of ways to reduce the chances of humanwildlife encounters. The most effective and natural way to prevent conflicts in urban areas is to put away garbage, birdseed, compost, pet food and to keep fruit from trees off the ground, the ministry noted in a press release. Bears emerging from hibernation are looking for food and helping themselves to anything they can find. “This food-condi-

tioned behaviour increases potential conflicts with people,” the ministry noted. “Whether it’s a dirty barbecue or food scraps in composts, bears only need to locate food once to develop a feeding pattern of returning to an area.” Other animals, such as young cougars, roam wide in search of unoccupied territory, increasing their chances of wandering into residential communities, parks and campgrounds. Coyote pups are born in the spring and by July are attempting to hunt on their own. “We haven’t received any calls about black

bear sightings yet, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they are out and we start getting some of those calls pretty soon,” said Sgt. Len Butler of the Conservation Officer Services office in Williams Lake Friday. “Our area, touch wood, has been relatively quiet for cats, even 100 Mile House which is the busier of the areas.” The COS did respond to a call in February from the 108 Mile area, where officers attended and dealt with a cougar who had its right front paw missing. “It jumped out of a dog house and scratched the owner up a bit just trying to get

away,” Butler said. “It was a young cat and it wasn’t doing very well. It probably got its paw caught in a trap. It had been like that for quite a while.” A couple walking on Bluff View in Russett Bluff Thursday evening reported hearing a cougar roaring from the nearby woods, which Butler said is a good reminder to keep dogs close by. In 2014-15, throughout the province, the Conservation Officer

Service received approximately 28,534 calls regarding humanwildlife conflicts. Of those calls, 17,614 involved human-bear conflicts. The public should report all human-wildlife conflicts that threaten public safety or result in significant property damage by calling the Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line, toll-free at 1 877 952-7277 (RAPP), or visit the RAPP website at: www.rapp.bc.ca

Opportunities for single parents

ood stories last forever. I saw the Cinderella movie with GDs #6 and #7 and their parents. We all enjoyed it. This story has been around since the seventh century and almost every country has a version of it. This latest version with real people combined with the special effects is, well, special. *** Those who attended the city’s birthday tea at the museum Sunday might have noticed a somewhat scruffy looking black Bull in the foyer. This Bull was created in the 1970s from a 45-gallon drum as part of a unique Stampede activity French known as the bull Connection throwing contest. Diana French The event had politicians and dignitaries vying to see who could throw the bull (chuck a dried cow patty) the farthest. Along with locals, participants included provincial cabinet ministers, a few mayors, and at least one premier (he won). The Bull held the cow patties. It still does. The contest was dropped in the 80s,I don’t remember why. When Walt Cobb became Mayor in the 1990s, he resurrected the contest. Ray Woods, the next mayor, deemed it unseemly for dignitaries to toss cow poop around and he stopped the contest. Mayor Cobb is being encouraged by some (including me) to bring it back. Are the current batch of politicians good enough sports to participate? *** Prime Minister Harper has been ratty lately about Muslim women wearing the Niqab, the veil that covers their faces. He says it is a sign of oppression against women and doesn’t reflect Canadian values. But how do we know if a woman is wearing the Niqab because she wants to or because some man says she has to? And if we are talking about rights, will Mr. Harper defend a woman’s right to breast feed her baby in public? After all, body parts are just body parts. Also, why is it bad for a woman to veil her l face but okay for a guy to wear a beard that covers his? Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

arning a living is an essential part of our lives, no matter who we are. Single parents on income assistance searching for employment often face obstacles most of us don’t experience. Our government recognizes how challenging it can be as a single parent, especially when transitioning into the workforce. Recently, we announced a significant change to the income and disability assistance program starting on Sept. 1 allowing single parents to stay on assistance for up to 12 months while they train for their new job while having access to a range of supports including: Tuition and education costs for approved trainMLA ing programs Musings that last up to 12 months for in-deCoralee Oakes mand jobs, transportation costs to and from school and full child-care costs during training. Upon completion of training, single parents who are eligible for a child-care subsidy will continue to have their full childcare costs covered for one year after they leave school and enter the workforce. They will retain their health supplement coverage for a year after they leave income assistance. This includes dental, optical and premium-free Ministry of Health Medical Services Plan and Pharmacare programs. Currently, there are 16,000 single parent families with 26,000 children on income and disability assistance in B.C. Single parent families represent 44 per cent of those who receive income assistance and on average, 90 per cent of single parents on income and disability assistance are female. Making the connections to provide jobs for single parents and build upon our inclusive, accessible workforce in B.C. requires teamwork and strong partnerships. I am grateful B.C. recognizes the importance of meaningful employment for people with disabilities. Our government is committed to working with employers to recruit, retain and promote jobs for individuals with disabilities and support the families of single parents on income assistance who want to pursue employment and move towards economic independence. Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

Our Viewpoint

Inspections must not lag Improving farmworker safety in terms of transportation has been a major success story in B.C. — but one that came as the result of a terrible tragedy. On the rain-soaked morning of March 7, 2007, a van carrying 16 farmworkers on Hwy. 1 lost control and crashed near Sumas Way in Abbotsford. Three women in that vehicle lost their lives, and the other occupants were injured. Subsequent investigation revealed the over-capacity van had just two seatbelts. One seat was nothing more than a wooden bench. The vehicle’s tires were in poor shape and improperly inflated. It was an awful accident waiting to happen — and it did. The incident galvanized representative organizations and labour unions to demand action. Provincial authorities responded with a new program of annual roadway inspections targeting vehicles transporting farmworkers. The scale of the problem quickly became

Violations dropped substantially by 2008, with just 8.5 per cent of vehicles transporting farmworkers failing CVSE inspection or found by Worksafe BC to have major mechanical issues. However, there is a disconcerting new trend. A total of 265 vehicles went through checks in 2010. In 2014, that number dropped to 124 vehicles inspected. Officials think it’s because of fewer contractors and workers who are doing more carpooling. Hopefully that’s true, but the decline must be researched to be fully understood. Reduced inspections have a clear, dangerous direction — a decrease in farm worker transportation safety. More deaths as a result would not be a tragedy. They would be a travesty. - Black Press

MORE VIEWPOINTS

Change result of direct protest to government Editor: Mr. Box, in his letter which criticizes my letter to Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett regarding the re-allocation of animals between resident hunters and guide outfitters, has attempted to circumvent the issue. While Barnett’s assistant sent a response, Barnett did not. Nor has she to this day answered my question.

Does she support the decision of the BC Liberal Government regarding the reallocation? The lesson in math was directed to Barnett and the Liberal Government, who tried to pass off the increase to guide outfitters as 10 per cent when, in fact, it was 50 per cent. The changes Mr. Box refers to as only involving 65 to 70 animals was a direct result of protests made to the govern-

ment by people such as myself. Regarding “get off your soapbox:” the last time I checked, speaking from a soapbox was a legitimate form of protest in Canada, Mr. Box, which you clearly understand as shown by the contents of your letter. From one soapboxer to another, Wayne Fox Lac La Hache

Trees simply not enough to prevent climate change Editor: Re: Population wise, Williams Lake a world leader fighting global warming, March 10, Tribune It’s nice to know that Williams Lake has lots of trees but, according to the scientific community, trees are not going to be enough to combat the “catastrophic” global warming we’re threatened with (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). For that, we’ll need to phase out fossil fuels, not just in Canada and the U.S., but in China. Fortunately, B.C. is leading the way. They can serve as a working

model for the rest of Canada and the U.S. With the same revenue neutral carbon tax that’s been working there for six years, the U.S. can not only cut its massive emissions in half in less than 20 years, it can force China to do the same. With a “border adjustment,” essentially an import tax on carbon polluters like China until they cut their emissions, the U.S. can force global emission reductions. China’s business model depends on selling to the U.S. If Canada would make B.C.’s carbon tax nationwide it would be a real model for the U.S.

As it is, very few Americans are even aware that B.C. has a carbon tax. The Citizen’s Climate Lobby in Canada is working to pass a national revenue-neutral carbon tax, and the American branch of CCL is doing the same in the U.S. In both countries, CCL is fighting against powerful fossil fuel corporations and their climate denial operations, but the tide is beginning to turn. See the CCCL website and see what you can do to make this happen. Lynn Goldfarb Northglenn, Colorado

Respect for other groups’ religions should be a consideration Editor: In this human civilization of ours one of the key points that all of us seem to overlook throughout history, is to have simple respect and understanding for one another. Just as most of us seem to respect our own children, so then too should we be able to respect all of our neighbours. But it would seem that we just cannot. And just because some of us are “artists” this such title does not give us a license to disrespect others or other groups whenever we wish using our craft.

Letters aLways weLcome

I am referring, of course, to the recent cases of Jean Cabot in France, Lars Vilks in Denmark, and others. To those “artists” looking to draw or write satirical subject matter about other groups, I would suggest that you first try testing your skills on your own world first by drawing and writing cartoons of your own church leaders and their beliefs before you disparage another group’s beliefs in such a way. For example, how would it be if Jesus Christ or the Pope were portrayed in the same manner as what Mohammed was portrayed

as by both Jean and Lars? How about Jesus Christ nailed to a large, upright, spinning gambling wheel instead of a cross, or the Pope wearing a dog leash and taking communion out of a dog bowl? Although I am no longer a Catholic, I was raised as one. Just the same I like to think that I understand what respect for all other human beings really means, although I too often fail at that. In every one of our societies and religious groups there are fanatics and terrorists who can too easily be awakened by such disre-

spect. I like to think that these types of people are by far the minority within all of our human groups, whether Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc. One only has to look at the history of any one of these groups to spot the fanatics of the past and the present. Not one group is any better than any other group. What I find really interesting in these past incidents of Jean Cabot and Lars Vilks, (and Salman Rushdie?) is that there apparently has been no such “response in kind” to any of them from the Muslim world.

Either this is because I have not heard about it, or the Western media has not reported it, or maybe it’s because Muslims seem to know what human respect is in regards to not disparaging another person’s or religious group’s beliefs (Christian in this case) by drawing cartoons of their leaders. You decide. And to all artists of Christian background everywhere, wake up and smell the coffee, and know what respect means towards another human being! Jordi Guri Williams Lake

Annual International Tourism Film, Print and Multimedia competition in Germany. The competition is known as The Golden City Gate, at the ITB Travel Trade Show in Berlin. The province’s brand new video, Wild Within, shot in the Great Bear Rainforest took first place in the International Region category. “The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association is a key regional partner with Destination BC, the organization that produced the video as part of its provincial tourism rebranding process,” says Geoff Moore CCCTA media relations. He notes the Great Bear Rain Forest is in the CCCTA region. “We are simply ecstatic that the Wild Within brand anthem video, the culmination of our brand revitalization efforts, was recognize with this honour at the world’s largest travel trade show,” Destination BC CEO Marsha Walden said in announcing the win this week. “The response to British Columbia’s new tourism brand, and the video itself, has been overwhelmingly positive. This recognition is not just for Destination BC, but for all of our partners and industry members who contributed to the work that got us here today.” In her congratulatory statement Naomi

Yamamoto, B.C. minister of state for tourism and small business said the award provides a great opportunity to showcase the diverse and spectacular landscapes that B.C has to offer. “I hope this video puts us at the top of the ‘must-see’ list, and that it’s seen globally as an open invitation to visit us here in Beautiful BC.” Yamamoto said. ITB Berlin, was held March 4-8 and is the world’s leading travel trade show connecting tourism buyers with destinations from around the globe. More than 100,000 visitors involving 10,000 exhibitors from 190 countries were expected to showcase their travel experiences, reflecting how intensively competitive the global travel industry is today, the release stated. The Wild Within video was the result of months of research and development that lead to a refreshed tourism brand for B.C., injecting deeper meaning and emotional power into the Super, Natural British Columbia tagline that has served the province well during the last 30 years. Tourism is a critical sector within BC’s economy, the release goes on to say. The industry is showing excellent growth and has huge opportunity ahead. Preliminary figures show that B.C.’s international overnight visitors grew by 5.3 per

cent in 2014 and that our accommodations, attractions and restaurants are having a banner year. Tourism employed more than 132,000 people in British Columbia in 2013 and generated an additional 3,800 new jobs from the previous year. Established on Nov. 2, 2012 under the Business Corporations Act and continuing as a statutory Crown corporation pursuant to the Destination BC Corp. Act, Destination BC Corp. is wholly owned by the Province of British Columbia and commenced operations on April 1, 2013. Operating as Destination British Columbia (Destination BC), the industry led Crown corporation works collaboratively with tourism stakeholders across the province to co-ordinate tourism marketing at the international, provincial, regional and local levels, and to support regions communities and Aboriginal people in developing or expanding tourism experiences, businesses and jobs. Destination BC is responsible for executing key components of Gaining the Edge, the provincial government’s tourism strategy.

Actors cherish memory of playwright Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The two actors chosen by director Silvia Swift to bring the Gwen Pharis Ringwood play Garage Sale to life on the Williams Lake Studio Theatre stage this week have loving memories of the theatre club’s founder. Michael Rawluk plays, Ruben and Gwen’s daughter Sophia (Susan Ringwood) Schneider, plays Rachel. The play runs about 55 minutes “but might be a bit longer if we get a few laughs,” Schneider says. Schneider is one of four children born to Dr. John Brian (Barney) and Gwen (Pharis) Ringwood and grew up with her family in Williams Lake. Growing up Susan says she would watch her mother smoking and writing plays and determined that she wouldn’t be a smoker or a playwright, but she was inevitably drawn to the stage herself as a professional actor. While she wasn’t inspired by her mother to write plays she did love reading plays and being involved in her mother’s play readings. She became a professional actor and married actor Eric Schneider, but eventually returned to Williams Lake to finish raising their daughters, Jessica and Josa, who were inspired more by dance than theatre. Both daughters studied at and taught dance at the Maureen Saunders School of Dance. Josa went on to dance with Paula Ross and Jessica started the Northern Lights Dance Company which performed around the province for a number of years. Jessica and Josa are now married and raising two children each, giving Sophia the joy of four grandchildren. Schneider is still a member of the Canadian Actors Equity Association and continues to do some professional acting here and there. Mid-career Schneider returned to university to become an art

In creating a play she says you have to find a picture big enough that there are elements of truth in what every character says. Schneider says she is now 72, just one year younger than her mother was when she died, so it is a watershed year for her. Schneider says she appreciated auditioning for the part in Garage Sale which her mother wrote for her father later in her life and being selected to play the part by director Sylvia Swift. She says she also appreciated how Swift directed the play which is about an elderly couple reflecting on their lives. “It’s the developmental stage I am in,” Schneider says. “We are still developing. The couple doesn’t start in the same place they end.” Rawluk says he first met Ringwood the spring of 1970 when she gave him small roles in the two plays that opened the Gwen Pharis Ringwood amphitheatre in Boitanio Park. “Over the year, Gwen was very kind, thoughtful and helpful,” says Rawluk. “Gwen would phone

me after seeing a performance and give good honest criticism. “She had such an impact that I still think of her to this day when I am in a play. “It still feels like she is still watching.” Rawluk says he has had the opportunity to work with a number of very talented people over the years both in Williams Lake and Prince George where he worked for a number of years before returning

to Williams Lake. Ringwood’s encouragement inspired Rawluk to engage in what has become a stellar career in community theatre. He has acted in at least one play every year for 45 years, sometimes two or three plays in the same year. “Community theatre in B.C. is filled with talent and Williams Lake certainly has its share,” Rawluk says. “I guess I am proud-

est of the Most Promising Young Actor Award at Mainstage in 1975 for playing Jerry in The Zoo Story,” Rawluk says. “Gosh. Forty years ago this year,” Rawluk says. “That was when Theatre BC was still called the BC Drama Association.” He says another production of pride for him was What Is Making Gilda So Gray in which he acted with lakecity author and actor Ann Walsh. “Ann Walsh and I were in it together and won the Mainstage Award for Best Ensemble in 1983.” After moving to Prince George in 1987 Rawluk won the best actor award at the Central Interior Zone Festival for his part as Davies, in The Caretaker by the Prince George Theatre Workshop. He returned to the lakecity in 2008 and has since won the CIZ awards for best supporting actor as Bill W and Doctor Bob; best actor as Being Frank in Over The River; and best director for The Memory of Water.

Flannel Roots lights up the stage Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Local band Flannel Roots opened the second event in the Safety Meeting concert series at the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Centre last Friday with a set featuring original songs that are on the band’s soon-to-be released CD. “We’ve been recording a CD at Eat A Peach studio in town and are done for now,” said band member Rowan Dolighan, 21, before the show. Dylan Pritchard, newer to performing in public than Dolighan, said his first perfor-

mance ever was during last summer’s Arts on the Fly festival in Horsefly. The band also played at Performances in the Park. “Now I am excited about trying to get more venues for us to play at and promote interest in the local music scene,” Pritchard who was also scheduled to perform Saturday at an all-ages concert at CJ’s Western Grill. The Friday concert was sold out and also featured the four-piece band Red Haven from Vancouver who are presently in Wells recording as artists in residence at Arts Wells.

Guys and Dolls theme for TRU fundraising gala Grab your fedora and swing dancing shoes and get ready for this year’s Thompson Rivers University – Williams Lake gala on March 28. Following the success of last year’s Let’s Go Gatsby theme, this year’s theme is Guys and Dolls, based on the musical set in the 1930s focusing on New York City mobsters and gambling. The chair of this year’s gala is TRU’s Kerry Cook, program co-ordinator of the Applied Business Technology program. “I am very honoured to be asked to be a part of this committee,” Cook says. “This is a wonderful cause that is close to my heart and I am looking forward to a fantastic evening.”

To match the Guys and Dolls theme, Juno nominated, Maple Blues Award-winners Brandon Isaak and The Twisters, Canada’s Kings of Swing, will be headlining the evening. Local band Third Degree will also be performing. The gala is an annual event organized by TRU GRIT, a group made up of local community members, to

raise money for scholarships and bursaries and to promote the university. Last year’s gala raised $25,000 and organizers are confident that this year’s total can be doubled to

$50,000. “We are more enthused than ever to be hosting such a worthwhile event to help students continue their education right here in Williams Lake,” said TRU GRIT president

Brian Garland. There will also be dancing and silent and live auctions. Tickets are $120/ person or $960/table of eight. Tickets are available online at tru. ca/williamslake.

Business Excellence Awards gala a licence to thrill Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The theme was Licence to Thrill and there were definitely some thrilling moments when it came time for the business excellence award presentations Saturday evening at the Elks Hall. Brenda Taylor, of Taylor Made Cakes and Sweets, was literally speechless for a moment when stage fright struck as she came up to accept the Food Services Award sponsored by RBC Royal Bank and presented by Scott Carter.

Later on in the evening Mayor Walt Cobb presented Dale with the Hugo Stahl Memorial Award

that is sponsored by the City of Williams Lake and presented to a community member who is recognized as an outstanding community volunteer. After Cobb read out all of the things the late Hugo Stahl did

for the city to have the award created in his honour, Taylor questioned whether he was worthy of the award. “It’s a lot to live up to,” Taylor said, adding that he couldn’t do the volunteer work he does without the support of his family. Taylor said the other nominee in the category, Charlene Harrison, was equally deserving of the award. There were 30 nominations in the Customer Service category sponsored by the Williams Lake and District Credit Union that was won by CanWest Propane and presented to owner Scott Nelson by Jim Zimmerman. Nelson said the credit for the win goes to his staff. See ARTY Page A12

Arty the Art Walker community booster Continued From Page A11 Willie Dye came to the gala decked out in his creative Arty the Art Walker costume and was perfectly in character when he won the Community Booster award sponsored by TD Bank Financial Group and presented by Darrell Garreau. The Delainey’s Centre which started out as a hardware store in the downtown core and is now home to several thriving businesses won the Greatest Improvement Award sponsored by PMT Chartered Accountants and presented by Jay Cheek to representatives Tricia Ramier, Angie Delainey, Krista Delainey, Emmanuel Jackson, Dora Althaus. Angie paid tribute to her grandfather Chuck Delainey who founded the original business and passed away just a day before the awards night. The Manufacturer of the Year award sponsored by the Business Development Bank of Canada was won by Tolko Industries and

was presented by Keith Viger to Tolko representatives Jerry Mooney, Mike Dextrase, and Todd Walters. The Hospitality/ Tourism Award sponsored by the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association was won by the South Cariboo Garlic Festival and presented to event organizer Jeanette McCrea by Geoff Moore. There was a bit of a scramble at the end of the evening as Craig Smith, who was taking photographs of all the winners, suddenly found himself a winner and another photographer had to step in to take his picture. Aboutface Photography and Tell-Tale Signs, owned by Craig and his wife, Krista, won the Business of the Year Award sponsored by Community Futures Cariboo Chilcotin and presented by Karen Eden. Craig and Krista actually own and run numerous businesses together and were thrilled and surprised with the win. Their other businesses are The Stew arts newspaper, Frame

by Frame, Suit Up Men’s Wear, Academy of Learning, Safety Works, and a limo service. They are also involved in a lot of volunteer work with various organizations. Krista says they are able to manage so many businesses because he is a night owl and she is a morning person, so there is only about two and a half hours of the day that they don’t work. Craig credited their success to finding Krista who shares his passion for businesses. Tell-Tale Signs and Printing was nominated in the Manufacturer and the Customer Service categories. Aboutface Photography was nominated in the Customer Service Category. The theme for the evening hosted by the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce was Licence to Thrill and included a delicious buffet dinner by CJ’s, entertainment with a musical comedian, guest speakers from Gibraltar Mine and Telus and both a live and silent auction.

Bronson Lee Ramos’s Gipsy Danger costume has won first place in the Mary Sue and Calgary Expo Ultimate Cosplay contest. “I found out about an hour and a half ago that I won,” the 24-year-old Williams Lake resident told the Tribune Monday. Two weeks ago Ramos alerted the Tribune he’d made it to the top 10 and said it would boost the city’s “nerd pride” if he were to win. With the win he receives two VIP tickets to the Expo, two plane tickets and four nights in a hotel. The Expo takes place from April 16 to 19 and Ramos has attended the last two years. “It’s a lot of fun,” Ramos said. “There are big displays from comic book companies, lots of people selling geek-related stuff. They have panel discussions and you can meet celebrities and get

one of the movies I’ve watched a whole bunch of times. I figured Gipsy would probably be the easiest so I decided to try her first and attempt the other ones later if I could get Gipsy done.” Next Halloween he’ll try another one, but hasn’t decided which one. Ramos described Pacific Rim as very original. “I like it because it’s not based off an existing comic strip or book. That really resonated with me,” he said. For the contest entry, Ramos’s photographer friend Allie Gardner did a photo shoot with him, capturing some nice images, including one of him standing on the Rudy Johnson Bridge that crosses the Fraser River about 30 minutes north of Williams Lake. When Ramos isn’t being a super hero he works at Save-On -Foods and is apprenticing at a local tattoo shop.

COMMUNITY Artists reflect unique perspectives The March show at the Station House Gallery features work by mixed media artist Bill Edmonds in the main gallery and paintings and sculpture by David Jacob Harder in the upper gallery. In his creations Edmonds raises issues of anonymity and the release of personal information in the digital age. This visually stunning collection is based on images and texts received from complete strangers over the internet. In an interesting twist Edmonds paints his portraits with ordinary house paint often painting on both sides of plexiglass. “RONA is my Opus, let’s put it that way,” Edmonds said in his talk during the opening of the show. “I’m basically a happy person but I won’t paint a happy face,”

Edmonds added during an interview. Edmond’s work has been strongly influenced by the figurative artists of The St. Ives and Newlyn Schools of Southwest Cornwall where he grew up. He has lived and painted in Hope for the last three years. Prior to this he was based in the Thompson Okanagan for 25 years and North Vancouver for six years. He sells his work mainly from his studio and at shows. His first series of shows were mainly in central B.C. and on Vancouver Island. These featured quick style renderings in house paint, based on candid moments captured through the lens of his camera. Later, he had intermittent shows, mostly group shows, in New York and Los Angeles, and has now returned to his roots in B.C. Harder’s show in the upper gallery titled (Un)tamed and (Un) earthed features paintings and sculpture inspired by the natural world and reflecting the difficulty of balancing the needs of wildlife with the needs of man. During the opening of his show Harder explained that he grew up in the country, home schooled. He said he and his father have hunted and he doesn’t condemn hunting per se, but he is “not too keen on trophy hunting.” In his next art project, he said he wants to

While a fairly jolly fellow himself, artist Bill Edmonds, whose work is in the main gallery says he can never paint a happy face.

Harder is an interdisciplinary visual artist/curator born in Quesnel. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts, and a Bachelor of Arts in Social History, from

Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. Harder has shown in numerous public exhibitions across Western Canada and the U.S. and continues to develop his work in his homes in Wells and

Penticton. People may recognize him as the coordinator for Island Mountain Arts’ ArtsWells Festival of All Things Art. This month’s show runs through Saturday, March 28.

Caitlin Press wins publisher of the year award Caitlin Press, which has published many books by local authors highlighting life in the Cariboo region is this year’s Jim Douglas Publisher of the Year Award winner. The award is presented to an active BC book publishing company that has, in recent times, earned the respect and applause of the community of publishers for a specific publishing project, an extraordinary contribution to the BC publishing community, and/or its extended commitment to excellence in publishing. Jim Douglas was founder of J. J. Douglas Publishers, which became Douglas & McIntyre. This year, Caitlin Press, based in Halfmoon Bay, was recognized for their work in being a voice for underrepresented regions of the province, and for the “incredible job of reaching out to authors and booksellers throughout the province.” The press has expanded this reach through the publication

of titles that not only reflect BC’s Interior, but all of rural BC, from the west coast of Vancouver Island to the BC/ Yukon border to the East Kootenay. In addition to their commitment to publish rural voices, they have stayed true to their mandate to also publish books by and about BC women. Publisher Vici Johnstone purchased the press in 2008, and since that time has reinvigorated its publishing program, releasing dozens of titles, many of them BC Bestsellers, and garnering recognition across the country. Caitlin Press books about this region include titles such as Dipnetting with Dad, by Willie Sellars and illustrated by Kevin Easthope; The Legendary Betty Frank, by the late Betty Frank; Corky Williams: Cowboy Poet of the Cariboo-Chilcotin, by Sage Birchwater and Corky Williams; and the forthcoming Gerry, Get Your Gun, by Gerry Bracewell; Women of Brave Mettle by Diana French; Gump-

tion and Grit edited by Sage Birchwater. Caitlin Press books have also been the recipients or finalists for many awards, including the George Ryga Award, the Saskatoon Book of the Year, a Lambda Literary Award, BC Book Prizes — including three

nominations for the 2015 prizes — and others. Caitlin Press is so honoured to receive this award, proud of their authors and committed to publishing voices from these diverse and dynamic regions of B.C., said Andrea Routley in the company

press release. With a goal of bridging the gap between the urban and the rural in this province, Caitlin Press looks forward to publishing many more rural stories, and to bringing these stories to a growing readership throughout the province and beyond.

McLellan set for grudge match Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Williams Lake undefeated pro boxer Stuart McLellan won’t feel bad punching his next opponent in the face this Friday following months of verbal jabs leading up to the fight. McLellan, 28, with a 12-win, no-loss and three-draw record and the current Eastern Canadian Champion and Maritime Champion, squares off against Orangeville, Ont.’s and Albertabased Ryan Wagner this Friday,

March 20 as the main event of a nine-fight card at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alta. “I met him [Wagner] at the gym in Edmonton about three years ago — him and his brother are both pro fighers,” McLellan said. “We sparred together and they seemed like nice guys but now he’s been badmouthing my last couple of opponents and taking shots at me.” That’s perfectly fine with McLellan, who notes Wagner hasn’t had a pro fight in the past

three years. “I think he’s a bit cuckoo,” he said of Wagner, who has a fourwin, two-loss pro record and lost his last fight in 2012 to the current Canadian welterweight champion, Steve Claggett. “The fans are really looking forward to it. He’s based near there and that’s my home away from home … I’m going to go out and see what kind of mistakes he makes and capitalize. He’s got nothing I haven’t seen before.” Adding to the intensity is a

$500 side bet between McLellan and Wagner. “I wanted to put up my whole purse but he wouldn’t go for it,” he said. In preparation for the fight McLellan made trips to both Edmonton and Vancouver for sparring sessions and got some work in with the No. 2 worldranked female boxer, Edmonton’s Jelena Mrdjenovich. “I had a really good camp,” he said. “I worked like crazy in December and January so I could take time off to train.”

Stamps fall just shy of Coy Cup berth In a series that clearly could have gone either way, the Williams Lake Stampeders fell just short of advancing their season to the Coy Cup Senior Men’s AA Provincial Championship. The Powell River Regals sent Williams Lake packing in a tightly-contested best-of-three series where all three games went to overtime, winning 2-1 on home

ice Sunday to seal the deal. The two teams squared off as part of a backdoor challenge for the final seed at the Coy Cup Senior Men’s AA Provincial Championship to join host Fort Nelson Yeti, the Fort St. John Flyers and the Terrace River Kings. Friday saw the Stampeders drop a 4-3 overtime decision, before the team rebounded Sat-

urday with a 5-4 victory after Nathan Zurak, on a setup from his brother, Aaron Zurak, lit the lamp. Sunday’s contest was a defensive affair, knotted up at 1-1 following regulation. Nathan, again, provided the Stamps’ offence with Jassi Sangha and Andrew Fisher credited with the assists, before the Regals ended the series

in overtime to end the three-time Coy Cup champions’ season. The Stampeders finished the season with one of its best regular-season records in history after a 15-1 campaign. The team continued on to advance to the Central Interior Hockey League playoff finals, where they were edged by the Terrace River Kings in a three-game series.

pede weekend race, and race No. 1 of the series,”Westwick said. “Drivers representing the Prince George Auto Racing Association, the Quesnel Auto Racing Association and Williams Lake’s Thunder Mountain Speedway did a great job supporting all three tracks and at the end of the season it was Fort St. John’s Jarret Bonn who took home the top spot in the series championship.” Westwick said it was of no doubt the series sparked interest not only of northern racers, but even drivers from southern and island portions of the province showed interest. In 2014 that interest showed as 21 drivers stormed Thunder Mountain for the first race of the season. “The racing was fast, clean and action packed for fans and drivers,” Westwick said. “[In race No. 2] it was another great 20 car field under the lights at PGARA’s Speedway Park.”

The championship battle saw Victoria’s Brian Clutchey and Williams Lake’s Arnie Kunka duking it out, with Clutchey eventually edging Kunka after race three in Quesnel. “After the amazing support shown throughout the season from so many southern drivers, Tri-City officials got together and decided they needed to say thank you to those drivers in a special kind of way,” Westwick said. “Vice-president of the series, Bill Klugh Jr., mentioned maybe the series should show its support by hosting a fourth race in the southern portion of the province.” Penticton Speedway Street Stock representative Tim Graham wasted no time volunteering their prestigious Gordie Manne’s Invitation Race during the August long weekend, which was followed by a meeting between all four race tracks to discuss the series possibilities. “It was decided the

series championship format would change from a three race point total to a best three out of four race points tally,” he said. “This allows drivers to choose their three best finishes, or even sit out a race for any reason whether it’s from mechanical failure or financial restrictions.” Recently, Kane Fraser of Williams Lake’s Fraser Bevz Broughton Charter Accountants (FBB), which has charters in all four cities, came on board as the main series sponsor, donating an additional $6,000 to the series to bring the four-race payout to $10,000. “When you add up the four tracks’ invitational payouts and travelling reimbursements it brings the total up to the neighbourhood of $25,000 up for grabs across the province,” Westwick said. “[We, the officials] just want to thank everyone involved with this great series, and, as Kane and FBB say: ‘Live the dream.’”

An uprising of the Tri-City Race Series led by the constant howl of tires, the roar of engines and the smell of burning rubber has been taking place in Northern B.C. for the past two years. “The sound has echoed across the province of B.C. as far away as Vancouver Island,” said Tri-City Race Series president, Tim Westwick. “What started as a small idea led by three local race clubs has quickly spread to the emergence of one of the sport of auto racing’s largest-growing street stock series in the province.” The series dates back to the early 1970s where stock car racing enthusiasts in Prince George, Quesnel and Williams Lake raced every weekend in one of the three towns, ending the season with a Tri-City Racing Champion. “Two seasons ago we reignited the series and the three clubs welcomed 12 drivers to Thunder Mountain Speedway’s Stam-

Cariboo Archer Al Campsall was in Vancouver last week as one of three finalists in the Sport BC Master Athlete of the Year Award. Campsall, who has multiple national championships and Canadian records in the sport, was up against Vancouver golfer Doug Roxburgh and Vancouver orienteerer Brian Ellis, and finished in either second or third place. Ellis, a world orienteering champion, wound up as the recipient. “They don’t tell you anything other than the name of the winner,” Campsall said. “It was a thrill to be counted among these

impressive athletes.” Other honourees were the B.C. members of the Olympic gold-medal-winning hockey team, including Carey Price, as well as numerous other Olympic athletes and world champions. “Being there and not winning has strengthened my resolve to succeed,” he said. “I truly feel blessed to have been included in this gala event.” Campsall, alongside fellow lakecity archers Fred Streleoff, Jessie Mobbs and Dan Mobbs will represent Team Canada in August at the 2015 world championships. Three of the four Cariboo Archers on Team Canada also shot at the Prince

George Indoor Shoot last weekend in preparation for the Canadian Indoor 3D Championships this weekend in Cloverdale. Streleoff sniped first place in the recurve division, Dan took second, and Campsall nailed first in the compound division. “We’re all excited about the fun flatfield outdoor 3D shoot behind the Bond Lake Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association Clubhouse starting at 9 a.m. on the April 11-12 weekend,” Campsall said. “We’re even including a shorter indoor course for those who are younger or new to archery.” There will be a concession on site for archers and guests.

Verdict: The upgrade this vehicle has received raises the quality, safety, and comfort to a new level. Power: This vehicle comes standard with a twin turbo 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine that puts out 365 horsepower and 420 lb ft of torque. The transmission is a six-speed select shift. 4.10 gear ratio. Towing is made easy by the transmission tow/haul mode, which helps keep you from gaining too much speed when towing downhill.

The Nissan LEAF miraculously cut a journey in half this week. I’ll explain. I took the plug-in sedan on a 43-kilometre trip from Vancouver to Driveway HQ, on 152nd Street, in Surrey. When I set out, the screen display showed that I could drive emission-free for 146 kilometres. Now I could have taken off like an F1 supercar and street raced all the way, because electric power offers instant tire squealing torque if you press the pedal to the metal. But that’s not me. Spurred by my ecofriendly driving the previous day, the clever car had decided earlier in the day that I could do 156 kilometres on a full charge. Not boasting but that’s easily more than 20 kilometres better than the average driver can expect to achieve. Okay, maybe my head

is swelling. The big 1-4-6 winked at me. I threw the stick into ECO mode and with two flicks of the wrist pushed it into the enhanced B-mode, which puts the braking power regeneration into overdrive, so to speak. I glided silently down the road, picking up pace ever so gradually in the busy city traffic. Rolling down the hills to Marpole, I could feel the juice from the brakes topping up that battery. On the freeway, I hit the posted speed limit and 40 minutes later pulled into HQ. The display flashed 126. I had covered 43 klicks with the power required to move the car just 20! Such fun. Next week: More on the joy of driving electric. Email the address at keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
