Longtime lakecity resident and business owner Dick Ford voices his support for Mount Polley Mine while April Thomas (right) awaits her turn to express her opposition to a mine restart. More than 300 people attended a public meeting Wednesday night as part of a public consultation process in which the mine is seeking a temporary restart, as well as a permit to discharge treated mine water into the Quesnel Lake watershed.

The majority of the approximately 300 people who attended the Mount Polley Mine community meeting in Williams Lake Wednesday indicated they believe the mine should restart. The meeting, which took place at the Gibraltar Room and saw a
standing-room only crowd, marks the next phase of a public consultation process in which the company is seeking a temporary restart of the mine and a permit to discharge as much as six million cubic metres of treated water into the surrounding watershed annually. During the question and answer period, whenever someone said they wanted the mine re-opened or
praised Imperial Metal’s response to date, the crowd erupted into loud applause, whoops and hollers. United Steelworkers Union leader Paul French said the feelings of shock and disbelief workers had when the breach occurred on Aug. 4, eventually turned to anger with people pointing fingers. Now those feelings have reached a stage of fear, he said, referring to
potential job loss. “We need to fix the creek, fix the water and get back to where we were nine months ago,” French said. Several First Nations women, however, voiced vehement opposition to a restart. See MINE Page A3

Charges against six people alleged to be involved with the Boxing Day double homicide at Anahim Lake will now go to a focus hearing slated for June 10, 2015. The charges stem from an incident on
Dec. 26 when the Anahim Lake RCMP received a report just before midnight of shots being fired at a home in the 2100 block of Dorsey Road. Upon arrival police found 23-year-old 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 visiting from Bella Coola. The accused all appeared by video or were represented by a defence lawyer in Williams Lake provin-
cial court Wednesday, April 22. “At least a focus hearing will keep matters moving,” Justice Maguerite Church said as she confirmed the dates with Crown Counsel Sabena Thompson and the defence lawyers. Everett O’Reilly, 27, charged with first
degree murder, and Christian Craciun, 28, Andrew Jongbloets, 25, and Serena Rhem, all charged with second degree murder, remain in custody. Lucille Mack, 33 and Stephen Mecham, 22, both charged with manslaughter using a firearm, are not in custody.

the top two per cent of wage earners got a $336 million tax break from the provincial government, while at the same time school boards were told to find more money and citizens were paying more for MSP, hydro, camping fees and car insurance, Horgan listed. “Costs keep going up and up, so we are

Mould prompts closure Wildwood Elementary school students have been sent home for the week while the district makes arrangements to move them elsewhere following the discovery of mould in the rural school Thursday. According to Superintendent Mark Thiessen, temporary preventative measures were put in place immediately to ensure the safety of 33 students as well as staff when the dis-
trict became aware of a problem with mould in the crawl space underneath the gymnasium at Wildwood Elementary last week. In an emergency meeting held in Wildwood Tuesday evening, the board of trustees passed a motion that would move the staff and students from Wildwood Elementary for the remainder of this school year. “The board under-

Mine seeks permit to discharge water into watershed Continued From Page A1 Holding a feather and wearing an orange Every Child Matters Tshirt, Rose Marie Jack of Canoe Creek said the Creator has delegated her people to take care of the land. Beginning to weep, Jack said she didn’t have any right to stand before everyone and talk. “I should be crawling underground, that’s how much respect and dignity I get as a First
Nations person,” Jack said. Her comments received sparse applause. Canim Lake Indian Band member and Williams Lake Indian Band resident April Thomas said no to the mine restart, adding her people never had the opportunity to vote on the mine in the first place. “I’d like to know what the government and Imperial Metals are going to do to uphold our Aboriginal rights to be consulted?” Thomas
asked. Responding, Imperial Metals vice-president of corporate affairs Steve Robertson said Imperial Metals has signed Impact Benefit Agreements with Soda Creek and Williams Lake Indian Band. “This is a democratic process and you do have the opportunity to vote by putting your comments into the ministries that will be issuing the permits,” Robertson said.

while, wondered why the company couldn’t use insurance money to pay for the mitigation work rather than relying on the profits of a restart. Share the Cariboo Chilcotin Resources Society chair Bill Carruthers said the mine should restart because Imperial Metals has demonstrated an understanding of what it must do mitigate the situation. Describing the breach as the greatest dam fail-
ure of the 20th century, mine employee Nicholas Bergeron said he was proud of the repair work at the site. “It’s something that’s never been done and we did it in 100 days, 10 days ahead of schedule, without any uncontrolled water released into the environment,” Bergeron said. WLIB councillor Rick Gilbert received loud applause when he said the mine should re-open, however, he stressed it shouldn’t

happen until all the cleanup is completed. “We have to ensure this never happens again and that’s a big job,” Gilbert said. “The breach could have been prevented if some of the signs were paid attention to in the past.” Imperial Metals outlined its water management options for the short-term. “You seem worried about letting the water go into the water table so what do we have here?” Sage Birchwater
asked. “How clean is the water when it’s treated?” Golder Associates environmental scientist Lee Nikl explained the water is “quite” clean, compared to mine water around the world and the water prior to the breach passed all the toxicity tests.

art said. Taxation in the fiveyear financial plan means a zero per cent increase in 2015 and a three per cent increase built in over the next four years, Stewart noted. Road rehabilitation will continue, with a total expenditure of $1.15 million planned for 2015. Areas slated for work include Cameron, Borland, Oliver, Yorston and Mart Streets and First Avenue, Third Avenue North and Seventh Avenue North. Stewart also said the
city will not be acquiring any new debt for 2015 under the plan, however, in 2016 will be purchasing fire equipment. Some of the city’s long-term debt will expire in 2018 and the rest between 2019 and 2031, she added. Moving forward the city will begin budget discussions for 2016 in September of 2015, aiming to have a finalized budget to present to the public by December, which Stewart said will allow staff to begin tendering processes early in the new year.

Williams Lake gets Hepatitis C clinic Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Waiting times for people in the Cariboo seeking treatment to cure Hepatitis C will be shorter now that a new clinic has opened in Williams Lake. Every month Dr. Alexandra King and clinical research nurse Shawn Sharma will run the clinic for a few days out of the Atwood Clinic in co-operation with local family doctor Jolien Steyl, who already runs an HIV-Aids clinic. “As a family doctor it’s been a nightmare getting patients treated,” Steyl said. “They either have to travel really far or they don’t get started on treatment because the waiting lists are long.” King and Sharma work at the Vancouver Infectious Diseases Centre (VIDC) where King is an internal medicine specialist. King has been coming to Williams Lake providing internal medicine services to the community for almost two years as part of a Doctors of BC pilot
project. “The family doctors here are really amazing, they manage so many people, different diseases and complexities really well, “ King said. “But when they run into problems or questions they need to be able to send the patients to another doctor to be able to take a second look.” Before the clinic opened, Hepatitis C patients normally travelled to Kamloops or Kelowna, however, the waiting lists were months long and when they did get an appointment it was often done over the phone, Steyl said. As well, eligibility for the treatment requires patients to have a fibre scan, which is an ultrasound that basically measures the amount of scar tissue on the liver and the advancement of the disease. To meet that requirement, Sharma will bring a fibre scan machine to Williams Lake each month, which Steyl said will be a huge time saver. Before patients travelled to Vancouver or Kelowna to have the scan, or they would have to have a biopsy which is very

Dr. Jolien Steyl, clinical research nurse Shawn Sharma and internal medicine specialist Dr. Alexandra King have opened a Hepatitis C clinic in Williams Lake. invasive. Hepatitis C is a virus that attacks the liver and tends to last many years. For the longest time there wasn’t a cure and then the cure that was available was a “really bad cure,” King said. Under the old treatment, patients ingested 18 pills a day and had an injection once a week, with treatment lasting as long as 48 to 70 weeks.
“It was almost like a chemotherapy type of regiment,” King said. “And people went through this horrible therapy and then had a 40 per cent chance of being cured.” Since 2010, the available treatment is seeing 90 to 95 per cent effectiveness, Sharma said, noting people take the drugs for eight to 12 weeks, with a small number of people going for 24 weeks.
“The new medicine is one pill a day with very few side effects,” Sharma said. The drugs are very expensive, costing $74,500 for a 12-week treatment, but treatment is important because with time Hepatitis C progresses into liver cancer or failure, King said. King and Sharma have seen that being treated and hopefully cured becomes a tool of empowerment.
“People manage to beat something they thought they would live with forever,” King said. Family doctors that have patients with Hepatitis C and patients seen in the Methadone Clinic will be referred to Steyl as the primary starting point. “I will liaise with Dr. King and Shawn,” Steyl said, noting the clinic is the best thing that could have happened for Williams Lake.

Beware budgets in election year The federal Conservatives put forth their budget Tuesday, and few politics watchers were surprised by what it contained. Many of the promises and appropriations contained therein were spelled out well before the budget hit the floor of Parliament. While every budget can (and should) be seen as a campaign document — in that being responsible for the public’s financial contributions to our society is a government’s main role — we should be wary of budgets that directly precede elections. While there are things in this budget which will add economic benefit to people’s lives, many of the promises in this particular Conservative government’s budget only happen if they are re-elected, making them less budget items and more of a platform on which they are campaigning. An example is the additional funding being made available to municipalities to improve transit infrastructure, which is slated to begin flowing in 2017. They also announced they have lowered the tax rate on small businesses, and teased that “our government will reduce the tax rate further, all the way down to nine per cent by 2019,” Finance Minister Joe Oliver said in his speech,
again, assuming his party is reelected. Similarly, they have introduced “a 10-year investment incentive that will allow for a faster write-off for machinery and equipment,” Oliver said, to help the manufacturing sector, as long as the Conservatives are still around to continue the plan. They have also committed to increasing their spending on national defence — beginning in 2017. It might have been nice to see some commitment from the federal government in terms of diversifying our energy sector, so we’re not relying so heavily on the price of oil to drive our economy. The federal government’s coffers are so heavily dependant on contributions from the oil and gas sector that dropping oil prices demanded a recalculation of the entire structure of the budget, delaying its release, in fact. Then again, diversifying doesn’t play well with the Conservative base. And that’s what this budget is. It’s the government saying, “If you like these things, make sure you do your part to help us get re-elected.” It’s not a budget, really. It’s more of a campaign speech.

Festivals can be about fun, self discovery and overcoming fears Having the Cariboo Festival on these last few weeks has made me think of my younger days. I attended an elementary school in Nelson that focused on the arts and every year we went to festival. Nelson and Trail took turns hosting the Kootenay Festival of the Arts so every second year our school travelled an hour away to Trail. I loved it because Trail had different stores with different candy and yes, candy loomed large in my list of childhood preoccupations. Throughout the years I entered the festival, reciting poetry — solo and in a group, singing — solo and in a group, and sometimes did Bible readings.
the
weekend
Keeping Afloat Monica Lamb-Yorski
One year I even won a trophy for Bible reading. It was the one where Jesus tells Peter to feed his lambs. Truthfully I was not a solo singer. My voice always sounded too loud in my head, but when it came time for adjudicator feedback I was always encouraged to project my voice more. I can still remember a poem we did one year titled Swinging by
Irene Thompson. I say we, because there would have been about 10 girls reciting the same poem. My classmate Shauna often won first place. She was very animated and had a nice big singing voice. In fact, for our Grade 7 graduation party, our music teacher selected me to sing a duet with a boy in my class. It was one of the pieces from Englebert Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel opera. Gerald had a beautiful soprano voice so he sang the descant parts and I sang the alto. “Mrs. Klassen should have picked Shauna,” the girls in the class hissed at me. I was hurt, but
deep down I knew I’d been selected because my low voice would complement Gerald’s. While in secondary school I took band, playing the oboe, and participated regularly in drama. Often we went to festivals. The travelling was fun and I have lots of good memories. Our daughter Anna acted and our daughter Rachael danced so we attended festivals with them. Whenever they were on the stage I would get really nervous for them, especially if they appeared nervous. The first time Anna was on stage was when Missoula Children’s Theatre came to town the summer she turned six. When she got off the stage she
said she had this funny feeling in her tummy while up there auditioning. I told her they were butterflies, something we get when we are nervous. Looking up at me her face broke out into a huge smile. “It felt so cool,” she said. “I love it.” I could have said the apple fell very far from the tree at that point because as a kid and now I must admit I have never enjoyed being nervous. Instead I gave her a hug and smiled back. Monica Lamb-Yorski is a staff writer with the Tribune/Weekend Advisor.

Land sales leave lingering odour The B.C. Liberal government’s sale of Crown properties to help balance its election budget was the dominant story in the legislature last week, as the NDP revealed evidence of a “fire sale” that may have left millions on the table. They started with Burke Mountain, the biggest single deal involving 14 view properties in Coquitlam. The buyer was a prominent developer whose array of companies happened to donate nearly $1 million to the B.C. Liberal Party since 2000. The $85 million price tag was similar to the B.C. Assessment Authority value on these forested properties, but an outside appraisal concluded they could have fetched an additional $43 million if they had spent more time on the hot Lower Mainland real estate market. (This sale made headlines last fall for the province’s $8 million buyout of the local First Nation’s undefined territorial claim, when it was revealed the chief of the tiny Kwikwitlem First Nation pocketed an $800,000 commission.) The government’s defence of the sale went from wobbly to weak. Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk was caught flat-footed and tried to get by on platitudes rather than retreat and find some answers. Premier Christy Clark weighed in, arguing that the budget would have balanced without the property sale, and that some sales closed too late to help the election-year budget. Finance Minister Mike de Jong stressed that all these asset
B.C. Views

sales were detailed in three successive budgets. They downplayed the notion of land sales being rushed. Then the NDP produced a string of e-mails sent between senior officials responsible for selling two big properties across the street from the legislature. “To be part of the sale and development of over eight acres of Victoria’s beautiful inner harbour area is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. An opportunity that normally would warrant years of planning and preparation,” wrote one citizens’ services bureaucrat. “Unfortunately we don’t have unlimited time – our goal is to have For Sale signs up by Oct. 31 with sales proceeds in the bank by March 31, 2013.” Then came a disclosure about a property in Surrey that had been bought as a potential hospital site. Once the existing hospital was expanded, that property was declared surplus. Indeed, de Jong featured this property to promote the government’s plan to stimulate local economies with private sector investment on unused land.
The Surrey deal closed for $20.5 million on March 21, 2014, just days before the end of the fiscal year. NDP leader John Horgan pointed to an outside appraisal of $23.5 million, and an assessment for tax purposes of $27.2 million. The appraiser also recommended that the “highest and best use” for the Surrey land was to hold it until had been rezoned for commercial, retail or office development. De Jong cited another big health property in Vancouver that sold
for more than its appraised and assessed value. It’s only the actual market that determines worth, he insisted. But it’s now clear that these and perhaps other sales were done with arbitrary deadlines that had everything to do with the B.C. Liberals’ need to balance the books. When elections are a battle of sound bites, perception matters more than reality. It’s also worth recalling that the budget deficits prior to the 2013 election were largely a result of the
B.C. government’s costly undoing of the harmonized sales tax, rather than the harsh forces of international finance. Surplus asset sales have a long tradition in B.C., where the government owns more than 90 per cent of all land. But after this round, full disclosure will be demanded.

Great appies to snack on for NHL playoff action Lots and lots of hockey. The NHL playoffs consume millions of viewers each night. It’s nice to see five Canadian teams in the playoffs this year and it was great to see the Winnipeg Jets playing playoff hockey. The Canucks are struggling, Calgary is looking strong and Carey Price and the Habs are handing it to Ottawa. Like Vancouver, the Detroit Red Wings are using back up goalies along with other clubs and they are putting together some pretty decent performances. There are a lot of daytime games on the weekends and many early contests where fans cry out, ‘where’s the food.’ I suspect a lot of appetizers, hors d’oeuvres, and just good old munchies will make their

way over the tastebuds during the hockey playoffs. Cajun crab dip is a very nice treat, as is devilled eggs with smoked salmon. Easy guacamole is a nice dip that you can do in your food processor. You will need one-and-a-half
tbsp chopped red onion, 1 tsp fresh lime juice, 1 garlic clove, 1/2 small jalapeno pepper, 1 ripe peeled avocado, and 1 tbsp cilantro leaves for garnish. Put first five ingredients in a good processor, pulse until finely chopped. Add avocado and process until smooth. Sprinkle cilantro on top. Tasty stuff. Tzatziki is a nice Greek dip made with cucumber, Greek yogurt, some fresh mint and garlic cloves. Mix well together and put in fridge for one hour before serving. Here’s one that is simple and different. Your taste buds will love you for this one. Chili Shrimp Wonton Cups • 25 wonton wrappers
• 2 tsp olive oil • 1/2 cup diced peeled mango • 2 tbsp mayo • 2 tsp lime juice • 1 tsp fish sauce • 1 tsp sesame oil For the Shrimp • 2 tsp lime juice • 2 tsp sesame oil • 1 minced garlic clove • 1 pinch of hot pepper flakes • 6 ounces of peeled shrimp In a small bowl combine lime juice, sesame oil, garlic and hot pepper flakes. Add shrimp tossing to coat. Let stand for 20 minutes and drain. Lightly brush wonton wrappers with 1 tsp of olive oil, then
press into mini muffin cups. Bake at 400 F until crisp and golden, this should take about six minutes. On a pan, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat, cook shrimp until pink, remove to cutting board and chop in 1/4 inch pieces. In a bowl stir together the shrimp, mango, mayo, cilantro, lime juice, fish sauce and sesame oil. Spoon into wonton cups and sprinkle with a few peanuts if you like.

June 18 at the general meeting. *** February’s business card profile winner was Brianna van de Wijngaard. She is the owner/operator of Puddle Produce Urban Farms; www.puddleproduce. ca. Brianna is the sole proprietor and does most of the work (aside from a few friends and family that help out). She hails from Vancouver Island, mostly, but began her food growing experience in the Cariboo (Hagensborg) in 2011, after university. She planted the first seed, and never looked back. The operation is an urban farming operation – producing mostly early-mid season greens, root crops, and microgreens, all within city limits. Puddle Produce is
unique in a few ways: It is lease-based, meaning she doesn’t own one square foot of the land that is farmed on. It’s all leased from the homeowners, and they are paid with a weekly supply of produce throughout the growing season. This allows someone new to farming very easy and low-capital access. It is also multilocational: growing on approximately 10,000 square feet, but this is from seven different plots. Brianna has only attended one Chamber event (luncheon meeting) but thought it was great. She was surprised and impressed at how many attendees there were, and from all different sectors and professions. Great networking! *** March’s business card profile winner was Integrated Elements Wellness Clinic. The clinic offers natural healthcare options where its practitioners function as a team to better provide care to its patients. The team includes:

The clinic’s practitioners have a combined 24 years of natural healthcare experience, addressing a variety of issues, such as neck and back pain, headaches, sports injuries, work ergonomics, sleep/anxiety/depression issues, arthritis and mobility issues, and prenatal care. They encourage patients to work on making healthier lifestyle choices regarding exercise, nutrition, sleep and stress management, and injury prevention. They recently joined
the Chamber and have found the luncheon meetings provide an enjoyable place to network and catch up on what’s happening in the community. As well, they note the advertising benefits have been great.

TIPS FROM THE CRD
Fire Extinguisher Use & Safety Submitted by Fire Chief Doug Townsend, Interlakes Volunteer Fire Department
A portable fire extinguisher can save lives and property by putting out a small fire or containing it until the fire department arrives. Because fire grows and spreads so rapidly, the number one priority is to get out safely. Using a Fire Extinguisher always remember the following safety tips: • Use an extinguisher when the fire is contained to a small area and is not growing, everyone has exited the building, 9-1-1 has been called, and the area is NOT filled with smoke • To operate fire extinguishers remember PASS P – Pull pin with extinguisher pointing away from you to release locking mechanism A – Aim low at base of the fire S – Squeeze lever slowly and evenly S – Sweep nozzle from side to side at base of fire • Select a multi-purpose extinguisher large enough to put out a small fire • Make sure that it is an approved extinguisher identified by an independent testing facility • Read instructions and know how to use extinguisher before a fire breaks out • Install extinguisher close to an exit • When using the device, keep your back to the exit so you can make an easy escape • If the room fills with smoke, leave immediately!

Four-legged fun with Cariboo Kennel Club

LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Dogs from pups to veterans enjoyed a day in the sunshine at a fun match at the Williams Lake Rod and Gun Club on Sunday, hosted by the Cariboo Kennel Club. Cariboo Kennel Club (CKC) president Kim MacDonald said that a fun match provides training for dogs and puppies and is a good experience for owners, too. Participants at the event were registered with CKC and given a number, and could enter both obedience and conformation sessions. There was a range of dog breeds in the obedience event that included Doberman, Flat Coat Retriever, Golden Retriever, long and short haired German Shepherd, long-haired Belgium Shepherd and Field Spaniel. MacDonald said that obedience training categories start at novice, or companion dog level. “They learn heeling on lead, sitting, standing for exam, circle eights and the ‘down’ command; then they move up into utility, sent articles and jumps, hand signals and commands from a dis-

tance,” she explained. “It’s a big benefit for both dogs and owners: if they get loose you can signal them ‘down’ and they won’t run in the road and get hit by a car. You have better control around other dogs and people: it’s all about safety and manners.” She added that obedience training should start at six months: before that they should just be allowed to be puppies. “We encourage people to have their puppies in the CKC socialization classes before that. They get socialized to other dogs and people and a start on things like sitting and coming on command; we start the real obedience at six months,” she said. “When they start
obedience classes, you can really tell if a puppy has been socialized.” One of the fun match participants was 19-month-old Charlie, a Field Spaniel born in Pennsylvania, and his Cariboo owners, Monica, Douglas and Ivy McKay. “We had a spaniel before and really liked the breed; they’re very loveable creatures and real characters,” Douglas explained. “Charlie has total faith in human kind and a loving loyal
heart. “If you climb a ladder, he has to climb a ladder; if you go on the roof, he has to go on the roof. He’s game for anything: whatever the family does, he’ll do it.”

Warmer temperatures than normal are forecasted for the CaribooChilcotin region from now until July, according to Environment Canada meteorologist Andre Besson. “That’s the seasonal outlook,” said Besson, who is responsible for the Northern B.C. and Yukon region. Besson was in Williams Lake to participate in an emergency response planning session with local stakeholders Wednesday. A seasonal outlook doesn’t capture extremes, day-to-day events, late snow in the season, or rapid snow melt, instead it’s more about trends, he explained during an interview Thursday morning. “For example in the fall we had temperatures warmer than normal on average each and every month.” Those temperatures have resulted because of a weak El Nino during the winter, but more importantly, a very strong

The Horsefly River remains low so far this year. positive Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), Besson said. The PDO, which measures the temperature of the sea surface, is higher than it’s been in 115 years. “That’s really the story of what happened,” Besson explained, adding it’s also caused most of the province to experience warmer temperatures than normal during the winter. Most of the precipitation that fell, instead of being snow, was rain so most snowpacks in the province are slightly or well below normal, especially in the southwest part of B.C. Environment Canada normally issues rainfall warnings if more than
50 mm of rain falls in 24 hours. But during the freshet season, now through June, in areas such Prince George, the Bulkley Valley and the Chilcotin, the warnings will come for 25 mm of rain in 24 hours because those areas are more sensitive to rainfall due to high snowpacks. “But it’s not just the 25 mm threshold that can cause impacts. The precipitation rate is also important,” he said. “Anything above 10 mm an hour will most likely cause local flooding.” As for the next week, Besson said we can expect a drier trend through the weekend and into next Wednesday.

Collection impressive Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Sharon Dubyna started collecting sewing machines when she arrived in Williams Lake in 2006. She now has 20 machines, about 15 of them in the antique category, and the majority of them with their own pet names. “I started with a Singer industrial antique and it went from there,” Dubyna says. She says her Featherweight machine was found buried in a dump. “I pulled it out, cleaned it up and it sewed perfectly,” Dubyna says. She also enjoys doing some of her quilt piecing on a 97-yearold antique handcranked Singer machine which she was demonstrating during
the Jean Andersen Memorial Quilt Show held at the Williams Lake Curling Rink Saturday and Sunday and hosted by the Williams Lake Piecemakers Quilting Club. Among her machines on display was a 1924 Singer treadle machine. She says her older beige electric Singer 301 is the quietest machine she has ever sewed on. It also has a slant needle casing which she says is better for vision. She says she does most of her quilting on a Featherweight or her Kenmore named Diane. But given her love for antique and old sewing machines Dubyna also has a special space in her sewing room just for fixing and restoring the sewing machines she collects.

Alayne Steward with her people’s choice award winning quilt My Whimsical Quilt Garden on display Saturday and Sunday at the Jean Andersen Memorial Quilt Show hosted by the Cariboo Piecemakers Quilt Club.
WLTRIBUNE.COM
With some 600 beautiful quilts to choose from it would have been difficult for the 700 visitors to the Jean Andersen Memorial Quilt Show hosted by the Cariboo Piecemakers Quilt Club last weekend to vote for just one viewer’s choice award. But they did it — selecting Alayne Steward’s quilt “My Whimsical Quilt Garden” as their collective favourite. Steward says she began quilting with a passion about eight years ago. “I made it my goal to try a different skill with every new quilt I made,” Steward says. “When I saw My Whimsical Quilt Garden hanging in my favourite quilt shop, I knew I had to try my hand at needle turn appliqué. “I don’t think I realized how much time and work this quilt would take, and half
way through the first block I wondered if I had bitten off more than I could chew.” Determination and perseverance paid off, though, and this happy, colourful quilt was worth every stitch, Steward says. “I was able to get much practice on my appliqué skills, and needle turn appliqué has become my favourite handwork technique.” The show that drew visitors and vendors from as far away as Chilliwack, Vanderhoof, Prince George, Bridge Lake, Grand Forks, Penticton, and
100 Mile House was a tribute to one of the club’s founding members, Jean Andersen, whose family selected 50 of her many quilts for exhibition in the show. Many more are with families. Putting the show together was a total group effort says club president Rilla War-
wick who was pleased with the entries and attendance. “I think it was a fabulous tribute to Jean Andersen, one of our founding members,” Warwick said. “The talent of the quilters never ceases to amaze me. We have so many gifted quilters in this area.”

was also a component in the Dollars and Sense workshop. Grade 10 students participated in a JABC program called Economics for Success which encouraged students to explore their post-secondary and career goals. Lessons included mapping interests, skills and passions to possible careers, developing valuable job searching skills including networking, volunteering, working with a mentor and interviewing, and
creating a budget to prepare for the financial reality of post-secondary life. Black said students had many positive comments about the program in helping them to: financial connections between school and the real world; job opportunities how to act in a job interview; about project planning an making investments, to think though purchases prior to making them, how to control and monitor their own spending habits.

Reaching Out Recently I went to work to discover that once again our Thrift Store truck had been vandalized. Now this was the fourth time in the last three months. You know, when you first see it - you get angry. Have you ever been angry? You know, when you want to reach out and touch somebody. Yet the world around you will say: oh I’m sorry that happened to you! Or hope you had insurance! But that doesn’t seem to take that anger away, does it. You want justice! Right! For many people who have been wronged, they find themselves seething, or brooding bitterness over the person and/or event, that caused their anger in the first place. This anger is a very dangerous emotion that always threatens to leap out of control, leading to violence, emotional hurts, increased mental stress and spiritual damage. You know, Jesus even said in Matthew 5:22 “if you are angry with someone, you are subject to judgment.” Now why would I be subject to judgement! Because I was angry at someone for smashing my truck window? The short answer is yes. REALLY? It doesn’t make
interests. We can pray for them, or we can try and think of ways to help them. Jesus loved the whole world even though the world was in rebellion against him. Jesus asks us to follow his example by loving our enemies. So my thoughts go immediately to Galatians 6:2,3 “Share each other’s troubles and problems and in this way obey the law of Christ. If you think you are too important to help someone in need, you are only fooling yourself. You are really a nobody.” Now honestly folks, I still PARSONS PEN do not like the idea that this BY CAPT. BEN LIPPERS window was broken, and I do not sense does it? But the real reason know who the individual is or is - it violates God’s greatest what he/she may be dealing with commandments “Love your right now. This person may have God with all your heat, all your had the roughest day of their soul, all your mind, and all your life and allowed a substance to strength. And the second equally basically take control. I do not important to the first “Love your know - but God does! Yet, God neighbour as yourself” (Mark wants me to pray for this person and take the initiative in meeting 12: 30, 31). So love is the key ingredient. peoples specific needs. When we Jesus said again in Luke 6:35 are making a conscious effort “Love your enemies! Do good to meet their needs within our to them! Then your reward community, people will reach out from heaven will be very great.” for it. My prayer today is, if you Jesus is not saying that we have are having problems please reach affection for our enemies. No! out to any of the churches for He is saying loving our enemies help, and you will be surprised means acting in their best when you do.

Williams Lake and Team Canada’s Kayla Moleschi (middle) received a ton of hometown support during the weekend when she competed during the Canada Sevens, part of the Olympic-qualifying World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series in Langford, B.C.
Moleschi overwhelmed by hometown support Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Williams Lake and Team Canada rugby star Kayla Moleschi couldn’t be more happy about the hometown support she received during the weekend when family and friends travelled to Langord, B.C., for the Canada Women’s Sevens. The event is part of the 2016 Olympic-qualifying World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series and saw Moleschi’s squad move into second place in the overall standings. “The support from Williams Lake really filled my heart with so much love,” Moleschi said following the tournament. “It was incredible to have so many of my fam-
ily and friends in one place at a world rugby event. For so many years our tournaments have been all over the globe and rather pricey to get to, but having a world series stop here in Langford was so perfect. “Everyone who has been supporting me throughout my career and waking up at all hours of the night to watch the streaming sites were able to come and watch me live for the first time ever. I’m so grateful to have all of these wonderful people in my life, especially my parents and brother who were able to make it.” She said the support was overwhelming and added it was an honour to play in front of her friends and family, despite losing to the U.S., 19-12, in the Plate Fi-
nal to finish in sixth place. “The finals was a tough game against the U.S.,” she said. “We played well but they were able to capitalize on our mistakes which made them come out with a win.” On day one of the event Canada pounded Russia, 26-15, laid a 47-0 drubbing on Fiji, then beat the U.S., 19-15. The following day Canada faced a tough English club, falling 12-5, before again, blanking Fiji, 45-0 to reach the Plate Final. “All in all we had a great tournament with a few mistakes at some key moments where we needed to execute the most,” Moleschi said. “It was tough to finish sixth but this only makes us a stronger team
and we know what we need to do and how we need to do it. It’s just about staying connected and on role the whole game through.” The Canada Women’s Sevens was Rugby Canada’s first time hosting a Women’s Sevens Series event in history. The announced attendance for the weekend’s event was 6,500, which included a sellout of 3,400 on day two. The top four teams at the end of the season will automatically qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics where seven-a-side rugby will be played for the first time. The weekend was a big one not only for Moleschi, but also for her former hometown high school
club, the Lake City Falcons Girls seven-a-side team. The Falcons picked up a bronze medal, also in Langford, at the provincial seven-a-side championships. Moleschi said she couldn’t watch the girls play due to her own tournament, but sent a special congratulatory note to her former (now combined) school. “I was unable to watch the high school ladies kick butt, but I am so proud of them,” she told the Tribune. “Congratulations to them on their tournament.” For more on the Falcons’ bronze-medal win see next week’s Tribune/Weekend Advisor.
The Williams Lake Team Penners will be hosting a cattle penning and sorting competition May 9 and 10. The event is scheduled to take place in the Williams Lake Stampede Arena both days, will cattle penning on Saturday and sorting on Sunday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Anyone wishing to register for the sorting competition can contact LeeAnn Crosina at 250398-8153.

High performance camp a great experience Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The lakecity had no shortage of representation April 2-5 in Salmon Arm for the under-16 BC Cup, BC Hockey’s high performance program. On the ice, Williams Lake Female Midget Timberwolves defenceman Brooke Call was selected as one of the best 120 players from throughout B.C. from a regional selection camp, held in Williams Lake in January. Pete Montana, Dave Carnes and Roy Call stood behind the bench as three of six coaches at the jamboree-style tournament, while Kelly Call and Mike Rispin performed managerial duties and Troy Weil participated as one of BC Hockey’s camp evaluators.
The players at the BC Cup, mixed up onto six randomly selected teams, were evaluated on on-ice and off-ice components including nutrition, strength and conditioning, mental preparation and fitness testing. During the camp each team had practices Thursday, Friday and Saturday, then played games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And as chance had it, Brooke drew Montana as her head coach at the cup. “She just can’t get away from me,” joked Montana, who was Brooke’s head coach during this year’s Williams Lake Midget Female Timberwolves season that saw the team bring home a bronze medal from the provincial championships. “Myself and Roy, we

Williams Lake was well represented April 2-5 in Salmon Arm at the BC Cup where coach Pete Montana (from left), manager Kelly Call, coach Dave Carnes, player Brooke Call, manager Mike Rispin, coach Roy Call and Troy Weil (missing from photo) attended. had two of the stronger teams. Part is fluke, but I think part of it is how you coach those players … Brooke stepped up and fit into the process we were trying to lay before those players and I think she did a really, really good job.” Montana said Brooke showed not only the talent to be there, but also the attitude to make it to the next level. “That’s the most important thing they’re looking at,” Montana said. “They’re seeing if they can adjust and come together [as a
team] and accept roles in a short-term tournament like that and to find players willing to accept roles and who are smart enough to pick up on systems. Everything counts.” Brooke’s teammate, Female Timberwolves’ captain, Ruthie Jackson, was also selected to the under-18 BC Cup, edging out hundreds of players even at the Female Midget ‘AAA’ level to be invited to the camp. “There, they’re picking a team that will represent the province,”
Montana said. “I’m just so, so proud of her.” At the under-18 level players are scouted throughout their seasons through four regions in the province then invited to the camp as opposed to being selected at the regional level. Jackson, along with Williams Lake and Northern Female Cougars defenceman Victoria Byer, will suit up on the same team at the under-18 BC Cup. The under-18 BC Cup begins next week and runs from April 29 to May 3 in Richmond.
Icebreaker tourney this weekend The first slo-pitch tournament of the season takes place this weekend at the Esler Sports Complex when the Williams Lake SloPitch League hosts its annual Icebreaker Tournament. Twenty-five teams, split up into two pools, will compete for the championship. The action gets underway Saturday at 8 a.m. with pool matchups, followed by playoff rounds Sunday. The tournament finals are slated for 3:30 p.m. on Sunday. Registration still underway for minor fastball With a healthy contingent of players, this year’s Williams Lake Minor Fastball League season is shaping up to be a good one, said league president Michele Tenning. “So far we’ve got about 125 players signed up,” Tenning said. Regular season play begins Monday at 6
p.m., however, the league will still be accepting registration up until May 11. So far divisions include T-ball, mini mites, mites/squirts, peewee/ bantam and midget. Also new this year will be an exclusive midget girls team, something Tenning is excited about. “It’s great,” she said. “The younger girls will have somebody to watch and there’s a good possibility we’ll be combining with 100 Mile House [to form the team.]” The league is still looking for any midget female players aged 16 to 18, and any midgetaged male players looking to play. Games this year run Mondays and Wednesdays. To register visit the clubhouse at the Esler Sports Complex’s Dave Means Ball Park on Monday, April 27, before 6 p.m. or call Tenning after Sunday at 250-392-6534.

Skiers finish race season on high note Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Two lakecity skiers are bringing racing back to the youth level for the Timberland Alpine Ski Club after successful outings at the North Zone Alpine Ski Final and Ski Cross Competition. Austin Boehm and Mathew Matheson, both 13, represented Williams Lake, their club and Mt. Timothy at the competition. The North Zone Alpine Ski Final, held April 9-10, marked the first time in more than 10 years the club had sent racers to the event. It was the duo’s last race in their four-race season throughout B.C. Both racers compete in the under-14
division and took part in races in Quesnel, Sun Peaks, Silver Star — the provincial championships — and lastly, Smithers. On day one at the North Zone Alpine Ski Final Austin skied to a third-place result in both of his giant slalom races, while Matheson raced into the top 10. The following day Austin improved on his day-one result with a first-place outing in ski cross. Matheson took seventh in his first ski cross race. At the year-end banquet following the event in Smithers, Austin was honoured with the top under-14 male athlete and overall top male athlete for the north zone.
The awards were presented after points were tabulated from races throughout the north zone. TASC coach Mike Boehm said he was pleased to see Austin and Matheson perform well during the zone finals. “It was our first time to the hill,” Mike said. “The conditions
were awesome and the boys did really well. It was a great way to finish up our year on a high note.” The TASC’s lone female racer, Keeley Holloway from 100 Mile House, was unable to attend, however, at the younger Nancy Greene Ski League level Boehm’s sister, Emma, 6, was tearing up the slopes.
Emma attended the Nancy Greene Festival at Sun Peaks near Kamloops to wrap up her season and finished with a silver medal in ski cross. This was Emma’s second year attending the festival which signals the end of the year for the NGSL, which houses racers from five to 12 years old.

runs from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Participants are asked to bring their bike helmet along and you must register for the free program. This year the bike rodeo committee is teaming up with the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society who, in partnership with Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed, is offering ‘bikes for all.’ Anyone needing a bicycle can call the Conservation Society at 250-398-7929 and ask for Mary Forbes. The Bike Rodeo promotes safe bicycle riding habits which will, in turn, reduce accidents involving children. The event offers many interactive activities for children. “As more people start riding their bikes it is important to remind riders that safety and awareness are critical,” said safer communities coordinator Dave Dickson. “Parents should always wear a helmet as it shows children through example that you should never ride your bicycle without one.” A course with a series of eight safety
stations will give children the opportunity to learn correct riding skills. A safety inspection of the bicycle is the first stop on the course. Professionals will also check the child’s bike helmet to make sure it fits well and is being worn properly. “Children suffer injuries doing wheeled activities because of a combination of factors that most commonly include inexperience, loss of control, lack of traffic safety skills, high speed and the tendency to attempt stunts,” the Safe Kids canada website states. The remaining bike safety stations will focus on riding techniques and skills. Children will be asked to ride through established courses of figure eights, circles and parallel lines. The emphasis for children at the event is to learn how to control their bike. To register or for more information call Denise Skarra or Suzanne Cochrane at the Cariboo Memorial Complex at 250-3987665.

The Narrows is a traditional timber frame with staggered stud outfill walls. It strikes a balance of affordability and energy efficiency in an attractive family cottage or compact year-round timber frame home. The main floor features vaulted timber ceilings and a great view of the beautiful Quesnel Lake. There is a covered gable entry on main level and the walkout basement is covered by a sealed deck creating a great space to put the kayaks and bikes under cover while creating easy access to both levels. Two more bedrooms could be added in the loft for a total of five.

Hinton, Brian Jan 26, 1934 - Apr 10, 2015
Brian Hinton passed away April 10, 2015 at the Williams Lake Seniors Village. Born in England on January 26, 1934, Brian is survived by his loving wife of 28 years Beverly; his three sons Jeff (Wendy), Cal (Nicki), Jay (Leanne). He was blessed with five beautiful grandaughters Nevada, Payden, Kallie, Taylor and Jayme. Brian was predeceased by his parents Charles and Barbara Hinton as well as his younger sister Angela and his grandaughter Kallie. He was a special person who we will remember and love. Brian grew up in England where he started his apprenticeship in carpentry and then went to serve two years in the army as a paratrooper where he acquired the desire to travel. Since Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend, Terry Banks, had a sister in Montreal, the two set off to Canada. While travelling across Canada and the United States Brian came across the beautiful â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lake of the Woodsâ&#x20AC;? in Kenora, Ontario. With Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard work and attention to detail he thrived at carpentry and eventually started is own company â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hinton Constructionâ&#x20AC;?. In 1963, shortly after the arrival of a new baby boy and a new opportunity in Prince George, he relocated the family up north where they stayed to raise a family. In 1987 Brian married Beverly Higgins who was also from Kenora. This enlarged his family with Bevâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adult children: Tim (Heather), David, Marijse and Wesly along with five more grandchildren: Matthew, Reid, Alexs, Brittany and Nathaniel. Brian wanted to travel out of the north hoping for better weather to garden and enjoy the ocean. With a big boat and the ocean calling, the two headed off to Campbell River and semi-retired. It was not paradise as expected being so far from the family, so the two headed back to 150 Mile House in 2003. Over the years Brian enjoyed fishing, wood carving and most importantly gardening. He used his skills in carpentry for both work and pleasure as he made many cherished gifts for his loved ones. Brian always had a beloved and devoted dog by his side for his daily walks. Special thanks to Debbie, Mable, Dawn and the rest of the team at WL Seniors Village where Brian spent his last year. He was treated with such kindness, compassion and dignity.
Those wishing to honour Duffy by way of donation may do so to the Alzheimer Society or the charity of their choice.
Those wishing to honour Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory by way of donation may do so to the WL Search and Rescue for the great help last year or the SPCA in Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. Brian was a special person who we will remember and love. What a wonderful life we had together. Brian was remembered at a Community Celebration of Life Service at the Williams Lake Seniors Village on April 24, 2015

Healthy smiles start with dental care Carol Gulliford Special to Tribune/Advisor The dental care you provide for your child sets the stage for healthy adult teeth. Knowing what to do on a day to day basis will reap huge benefits for not only your child’s happiness and well-being but also for your pocket book. A daily oral care routine for your children prevents decay and helps empower them to make dental health a lifelong priority. Baby teeth are just as important as adult teeth. They help children speak clearly and eat well. They also help form the jaw and hold space for adult teeth to grow into. Your child will have baby teeth until they are 12-13 years old. Here are some tips to help parents and caregivers keep those tiny teeth bright and healthy Avoid transferring bacteria to your child. It is best to avoid putting an object that has been in your mouth into your baby’s mouth. Babies are not born with decay-causing bacteria but these bacteria can be transferred from parents or caregivers to baby. Licking a soother, sharing a toothbrush or spoon when testing a child’s food are some ways germs can be passed on to your child. Clean your child’s teeth every day. Baby teeth are at risk for decay as soon as they appear. Before teeth appear, wipe your baby’s gums with a clean, wet cloth once a day, every day. A parent needs to brush their child’s teeth until they can write, not print, their own name. Lift the lip. Once a month, lift the lip to check for white or brown spots on the teeth. These spots are the earliest signs of tooth decay. Avoid juice, milk, and sweetened drinks between meals. Give plain water for thirsty children between meals. Frequent sipping on juice, milk, and sweetened drinks throughout the day increases your child’s risk for tooth decay. Plain water is best Pack dentally healthy
snacks. Fresh food is best. Give healthy snacks like fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy
products, meats, and grains. Visit your dental professional. The Canadian
Dental Association recommends the first visit to be six months after the first tooth appears,
usually by one year of age. Talk to your dentist about applying sealants
to the first permanent molars to prevent tooth decay. Living Well columnist
