In the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Nepal Daybreak Rotary is launching a shelter box campaign to provide housing. By Tuesday the number of deaths reported were at 5,000 and amount of people left homeless at more than one million.

“We want to purchase a number of the shelter boxes,” Daybreak Rotarian Ron Malmas said Tuesday. “In 2010 the community of Williams Lake rallied and we were able to purchase 21 family units to send to Haiti.” One box costs $1,300 and provides a family with a large tent, blankets, pillows, a cooking stove, utensils, a water purification sys-

The Williams Lake Tribune is also collecting donations, Malmas added. “Every dollar donated goes to the program, there are no administration costs or anything like that, and the great thing is the Canadian government announced last night that they will match every dollar that’s donated.”

Tribune editor takes home gold at newspaper awards The Williams Lake Tribune/ Weekend Advisor received top honours in the spot news photo category, under 25,000, at the Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards last weekend. Hosted by the British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspapers Association at the River Rock Casino Resort, BC North Black Press President Lorie Williston accepted the award on behalf of Tribune/Weekend Advisor Editor Angie Mindus. “Angie is a terrific photographer, it was great to see her get the recognition she so deserves. It truly is an honour to be recognized by one’s peers,” Williston said of the award. “I am very proud of our entire editorial team that spend countless hours covering community events throughout

the region.” Mindus won the award for her entry “Crews respond to house fire.” The photograph depicts members of the Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department rushing to contain a fully engulfed house fire in the community of Wildwood last April. “Good framing to show both the firefighters and the huge flames they have to contend with,” the judges said of the shot. “Definitely an eye catcher.” Mindus worked at newspapers in Alberta before joining the Williams Lake Tribune in the early 1990s as a photographer. Since then she has won several provincial and national newspaper awards for both her writing and photography and is raising a family in Williams Lake.

Williams Lake observes National Day of Mourning with ceremony Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer There were 173 work-related deaths in the province last year, said several people who spoke during the National Day of Mourning ceremony in Williams Lake Tuesday. “That’s the highest number since 2010,” said Dean Colville, first vice-president of the United Steelworkers Union Local 1-425. “On average that’s more than three work related deaths a week.” Of those 173 deaths,

98 were related to previous exposure to asbestos. Cariboo Regional District director Steve Forseth broke the statistics down saying four people who died were between 15 and 24 years of age. “That is four too many,” Forseth said, noting 39 people died in construction accidents, 19 from mining incidents and 14 in the wood and paper industry. “We even had two deaths in the Cariboo,” Forseth added.

Randy Chadney arrived in Williams Lake last month to take on the role of manager at Tolko’s Lakeview mill. “When you witness a fatality at work it’s life changing,” Chadney said. “The people I’ve seen die I still think about ten years later.” Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett recalled losing a volunteer fire chief in 100 Mile House in 1999. “We all suffered and learned from that tragedy,” Barnett said. “No words can adequately capture the loss of fam-

ily and friends when people die in accidents at work.” The National Day of Mourning recognizes those who are gone and is about making workplaces safer, she said. NDP leader John Horgan echoed Barnett saying everyone has the right to come home safely at the end of the day. “Today we remember and reflect and want to make sure the number of people dying at work isn’t as high next year,” Horgan added.

The Williams Lake Fire Department responded to a structure fire on Wolf Street Monday at 9 p.m. “It was a detached garage that was fully involved upon our arrival,” Fire Chief Des Webster said Tuesday. “The homeowners were home and tried to extinguish the fire but could not.” The fire department responded with three pieces of apparatus and 18 firefighters, calling in the Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department for mutual aid to provide additional water. The building was completely destroyed, along with several ATVs and tools that were inside, the RCMP said. A crack house bust, stabbing, and theft of $35,000 worth of surveying equipment were some of files the RCMP

handled Thursday, April 23, said Staff Sgt. Del Byron. At 11:42 p.m. police responded to an assault complaint at a house in the 4000 block of Mackenzie Avenue. When they executed a search police seized approximately $1,800 in cash, 500 grams of Magic Mushrooms, 18 grams of cocaine, 55 grams of cannabis and nine tabs of LSD — valued at a total of $5,000. As a resulted a male was arrested and charged with sexual assault, careless use of a firearm, possession of a prohibited weapon and possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, and later released on a promise to appear in court. Some time between 9 p.m. Wednesday and 8 a.m. Thursday, $35,000 worth of surveying

equipment was stolen from a locked F150 truck parked on Second Avenue North. Police were notified of a single vehicle crash of a red Oldsmobile at 7:25 a.m. on Highway 20, about 20 km west of the city. The driver was later located at Cariboo Memorial Hospital, with no serious injuries At 7:33 a.m., RCMP were called to the hospital after a victim arrived with stab wounds. “That resulted in an arrest of one person for aggravated assault,” Byron said. A 388 Magnum special rifle was stolen from an unlocked apartment unit. The barrel is stamped with RMP and there is a crack in the barrel. Police also received a report of a door pushed in at a home in the trailer

park in the 1400 block of Western Avenue. Nothing appeared to be stolen, however it was evident that several vehicles in the trailer park were broken into. A brown Polaris 500 EFX and a yellow Honda ATV were stolen from a residence on Lakeview Road Saturday, April 25. “A garage had been broken into and two ATVs were stolen,” Byron said. Later on Saturday at 1:35 p.m., police received a report that someone attempted to steal a Black GMC pickup on Signet Street. The steering column and ignition were damaged. Two men were arrested early Monday after police were alerted at 3:58 a.m. that three males wearing grey hoodies were going through vehicles on 12th Avenue

North. During the weekend two people were charged with impaired driving. The first arrest took place Friday when the driver of a white GMC pickup was stopped on Pine Street, arrested and charged with impairment. On Sunday, at 10:49 p.m. a Dodge Caravan was seen travelling westbound on Carson Drive without license plates. When police stopped the vehicle, the driver exhibited signs of impairment. At 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, an alarm company responded to the Royal Canadian Legion where it was evident someone had entered through a side door. “Nothing appears to have been taken, however the glass door to the cooler was broken on the inside,” Byron said.

So far approximately 100 people have submitted responses to the Mount Polley Mine restart plan, said David Morel assistant deputy minister of energy and mines. Morel, who was participating in a conference call with the Ministry of Environment and the Cariboo Regional District board last Friday, said the public comment period ends May 2. “We will be working through with Imperial Metals and technical experts to make sure the

public comments are addressed,” Morel said, adding it is hoped the restart permit application process will be wrapped up by the end of May and a decision will be made by mid-June. “There has been a lot of good work done by the company, First Nations and the technical team that has been working on pushing it forward as fast as we can,” Morel said. Three permits are before the government. The first one is to restart the mine, the second one is for short-term water discharge, while the third permit is for

long-term water treatment. Whether the mine restarts or not, water will have to be discharged and treated, Morel said. Quesnel Mayor Bob Simpson reminded the ministries of the need to engage more with First Nations near Quesnel, particularly the Red Bluff Indian Band which is down stream on Quesnel River. “They see themselves as the first impacted First Nation,” Simpson said. Responding Ministry of Environment assistant deputy minister Lori Halls said the short-term

water discharge permit will have potential impacts down stream so there will be consultation in Quesnel and with area First Nations, and again when it comes to reviewing the long-term water management permit. Simpson asked if a trap wasn’t created in some regards for Mount Polley by not having the water discharge dealt with in a timely fashion. “It feels to me like we are saying we can open the mine without addressing the discharge issue and the discharge issue can be dealt with later,” Simpson said.

Referring to the independent panel report, Morel responded that the water held in the tailings impoundment didn’t cause the breach, but made it more pronounced. “I think we’re recognizing with this mine and other mines in B.C. there is a positive water balance issue,” Morel said, noting it’s an issue that will have to be dealt with in the longterm permit, whether the mine opens or not. The temporary startup, if approved, would see the mine operating at a 50 per cent capacity, Morel confirmed.

Wildwood Elementary School settles into new routine Angie Mindus Staff Writer Wildwood Elementary School students are adjusting to life at a new location. “It’s still the same school — we’re just in a different building,” an optimistic Wildwood Grade 4 student Mackenzie BourgeoisThiessen said from her new classroom at Marie Sharpe elementary Tuesday. The students had their rural school shut down April 20 due to health concerns after mould was discovered in the crawl space under the gymnasium April 16. Wildwood principal and teacher Kelly McLennan said the entire staff and 33 students have been set up in two classrooms within Marie Sharpe and that everything, right down to the shelves and children’s desks, were moved and ready for students Monday morning. “Everyone has been

He said board members certainly don’t have enough information at this point to make any longer term decisions surrounding the school, which is now closed for the remainder of the school year. “Everybody wants to know if this is the end of the Wildwood school, and the truth is we just don’t know yet,” Thiessen said.

were considered, including reopening one of the district’s empty schools for the students. He said the old McLeese Lake school was much too far in disrepair, the Glendale location also would need significant capital investment, while the district was dealing with “tenancy issues” at the former Kwaleen school. Thiessen wanted to thank staff at both Wildwood and Marie Sharpe for working hard to make the transition for students as seamless as possible, as well as maintenance staff for their extra efforts.

Let experts have final say

Mount Polley on track for restart

ount Polley Mine will probably be in the news for some time to come. The focus at the moment is on its reopening. I missed the meeting last week but according to reports, those from all sides of the debate had their say. Some want the mine back in operation as soon as possible, some want it closed forever and some are saying reopen but let’s do it right. My own view, and I believe it’s shared by many, is that any decision should be based on the best expert opinion available. There are a number of studies underway. The government-ordered Independent Panel has reported, but two other official studies, French one by the Chief Connection Inspector of Diana French Mines the other by the BC Conservation Officers Service, have not. If those two don’t count, why were they commissioned in the first place? Some local politicians are among those lobbying to get the show back on the road without further delay. No doubt they are under pressure. No one argues that the mine plays a huge role in the local economy, but with all due respect along with love and kisses, I don’t know that any of our elected officials have expertise in mining or the environment. There is too much riding on this for it to be a political football. Engineers, technicians, biologists, etc. have to have the final say on the reopening. We don’t want another disaster. Williams Lake Band Councillor Rick Gilbert is quoted as saying the mine should re-open but not until all the cleanup is completed, and that we have to ensure this never happens again. Amen to that. *** Our cat, a rather large and usually shedding animal, has recently taken to sleeping on my computer desk, between the monitor and the key board. He prefers to do this when I’m using the computer and he gets huffy when he’s removed. I like animals but people are mostly more reasonable. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

ining is a vital industry in our province that creates jobs and supports services like health and education that we all rely on. Mining also strengthens our communities — noticeably influencing the dayto-day lives of the people in our regions. This is why having the Mount Polley Mine reopened as soon as possible for those who depend on those direct and indirect jobs is so important; however, we must ensure it is done in a way that protects the environment. Last week, there was a discussion regarding the proposed restart of the Mount Polley Mine. As part of a 30-day Public MLA Comment Period Musings related to the restart applicaCoralee Oakes tions, the turnout and level of support in the room was encouraging for many. During the meeting that took place at the Gibraltar Room, there was a presentation from the Mount Polley Mining Corporation where representatives of the regional, provincial and federal governments were invited to attend. There were many in the community that had questions and concerns; however, overall, the approximately 300 people who attended the Mount Polley Mine community meeting in Williams Lake echoed that they believe the mine should restart. Once the review process is completed, independent statutory decision makers will decide whether to issue the required permits and authorizations. A decision on the permit applications is expected to come in early June. To stay updated and informed on the water monitoring results and updates on remediation work, visit the Mount Polley Updates page of the Imperial Metals Website at www.imperialmetals.com. I encourage those to e-mail any concerns about the restart and water discharge plans by the May 2, deadline to MtPolleyMinePermit@gov.bc.ca or inquiries@imperialmetals.com.

So, it is fitting that children and their families are giving back to the program this month by dropping off gently used children’s books at participating schools, Heartland Toyota, Williams Lake and District Credit Union and right here at our Tribune/Weekend Advisor office located at 188 North First Avenue. The mission of CCPL members is to promote literacy through awareness, advocacy and by initiating and supporting learning opportunities. As a community let’s help them reach their goals. - Williams Lake Tribune/Weekend Advisor

MORE VIEWPOINTS

Politicians’ behaviour worrisome Editor: On Wednesday, April 22 I attended a public meeting hosted by Imperial Metals in Williams Lake. The meeting was intended to be a communications and comment meeting relating to application for the proposed restart of Mount Polley Mine. A great deal of technical information relating to the short- and long-term environmental challenges around the re-opening, including safe water discharge and the regulatory processes governing this discharge, was presented. It should have engendered questions and clarification. It could have helped the community discuss this issue in a more informed way. It might have contributed to better decision making. Unfortunately, the ability to ask questions and seek information on these important issues was lost in a politicized show of strength. This atmosphere was largely created and encouraged by our local coun-

cil and mayor through their defensive approach to the issue. Not only did the mayor and council define and promote the “politically correct” position prior to allowing us to attend this informational meeting, but they publicly badgered others who spoke in favour of allowing us to become informed prior to adopting a position. Clearly their goal was to stifle open discussion if not to create an atmosphere of fear clouding the process. I was sorely disappointed to witness the divisive outcome of these tactics. I went to learn and I went to listen. I had hoped I would be able to reach some conclusions for myself based on reason rather than emotion. This opportunity was seriously impaired. A democracy does not exist that cannot keep its mind, its ear and its heart open and that does not encourage its citizens to do the same.

Attempting to “win” through intimidation and the exertion of power is long-term destructive. I think we call it bullying. The timing of the mayor and council’s statement of position and the rebuke of others who did not follow their lead was an affront to due process and should not be supported regardless of one’s position on any issue. It resulted in a meeting that was less informative than it could have been and more of a power struggle than it should have been. Rather they had encouraged and promoted a discussion that began on the common ground of genuine concern for the well being of our community and all its citizens; and then listened. Perhaps they would have gained respect; or even insight. I know I came away from the meeting more concerned about our governance than I was about the mine. Robin Dawes Williams Lake

Goldman Prize well deserved Editor: We wish to extend our congratulations to Marilyn Baptiste. The Goldman Prize is the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for those working to protect the environment. It is hugely prestigious and is not given lightly. We have known and worked with Marilyn for years, as with her community and are not surprised that such an award should have gone to her.

Faced with an appallingly destructive industrial project that reflected the very worst of aggressive neo-colonialism, as Xeni Gwet’in chief she rallied the entire Tsilhqot’in Nation, and together with many allies they stopped the project and protected the land and waters to the great benefit of all of us, First Nations and settler, alike. Xeni Gwet’in leadership, with Roger William as chief and Marilyn and Loretta Williams as councillors, carry on a tradition of

working for the community in a way that sets such a high level of achievement that it is now noticed around the world. Marilyn has said the Xeni Gwet’in were literally fighting for their lives during the effort to stop the inaptly named Prosperity/New Prosperity Mine proposals. That does not overstate the case.

We won’t stop building or flying planes, so why stop mining? Editor: I am part of an advocacy group for the utilization of resources to achieve community stability. We were shocked at the Mount Polley dam failure. It’s difficult to be a fan of something when adversity takes place, however, we would like to point out that humans do make mistakes. There are no 100 per cent scenarios. I would like to talk about other

situations and use them as examples of events that should not have happened, but did. In 1958, an engineer made an incorrect calculation that resulted in two spans of the new Second Narrows Bridge, in Vancouver, collapsing. A tragic event that resulted in a number of people being killed or injured. This bridge is called the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge in memory of this event. We have not stopped building

or utilizing bridges, but we are a lot smarter at it. Recently, a plane crashed in the North Vancouver Mountains with both pilots being killed. It was a cargo plane for an airline that was started by former Williams Lake resident. Initial indications are that the plane broke up in flight. Maybe it was under engineered or poorly maintained, but it should not have happened. Again a tragic event. We will not stop building and

flying planes, but the conclusion will make us smarter. In August the tailings dam was breached for what could be an engineering error or a maintenance issue. It should not have happened, but thankfully no one was killed or injured. Our group has thought about the action that has to take place to make sure that this doesn’t happen again. In conclusion, we must continue to look upon bridges, planes

and mines as necessary events. If Imperial Metals has demonstrated that it understands what it must do to mitigate this situation, then we see no reason to hold up the re-start of the active mining. The alternative to resource activity is the return of double digit unemployment like this community experienced in the 90s and the early 2000s. Bill Carruthers Williams Lake

Williams Lake AGING AND YOUR METABOLISM Your metabolism does change as you get older but this is because most people stop moving which slows down your metabolism. Two things can affect your metabolism; genetics and lean muscle mass. The lean muscle mass is something that decreases as a result of decreased activities. If you don’t want your metabolism to slow down as you age then you need to increase your physical activity levels, which increases your lean muscle mass.

If Fortis receives approval for its pipe upgrade project on Fox Mountain next month, construction will begin mid-August, said to Shelley Thomson, manager of Aboriginal Relations with Fortis. An application for the project went to the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission in March and it normally takes eight weeks for approval. The pipe isn’t being upgraded for safety but because of density, Thomson said during a presentation to the Cariboo Regional District board at its regular meeting Friday. “It was installed in 1957 when 1,790 people

lived in Williams Lake, now there are 25,120 people in the Williams Lake area and 7,300 are natural gas customers.,” she said. “The pipe warranted an upgrade.” Part of the project will involve widening the right of way to 18 metres. “Right now it’s narrower so we’ll be adding three to four metres on each side,” Thomson said. “But we want people to know it’s a requirement.” A bulk of the right of way is Crown, but there are a few fee-simple properties and the company has been working with those landowners, she added. Local contractor Borland Creek Logging has been hired to do the

clearing and will begin its work the middle of May. Once the application is approved, tender packages will be sent to qualified contractors, Thomson said. “We will be hiring sub-trades for asphalt, sand, gravel, equipment, flaggers, trucking, hauling and land surveying.” Toward the end of the project, Fortis’s own transmission crew will arrive to do the tie-in work. The pipe that’s being replaced is four inches and is 4.8 mm thick. The new pipe will still be four inches, however, it will be 5.6 mm thick. A thicker pipe will be better suited for increased pressure.

Shelley Thomson, Aboriginal Relations Manager with Fortis BC gives the CRD an update on the Fox Mountain pipe replacement project. Thomson said the old pipe will remain in the ground because it’s safer to leave it there than haul it away because there are very few

places that can receive the pipe for disposal. “It will be cleaned and purged and no residue will be left inside it,” Thomson said.

Concert shines spotlight on talent gold Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Fiddling, singing, choir, skits, poetry, piano, story-telling, and band performances were all part of a dynamic Honours Concert wrapping up the month long Cariboo Festival 2015 Saturday evening at Cariboo Bethel Church. The evening featured 37 gold standing winners. To win gold the adjudicator for the particular entry section gave each of the performers or groups a mark of 85 per cent or higher. Just before the break and again at the end of the evening more than 37 trophies and awards were presented, with many of the business and community group sponsors there to present the awards themselves. From performances by big groups such as the Lake City Secondary School Senior Concert Band and the Cariboo Youth Fiddlers, to little Caitlin Khong reciting the story she wrote about The Titanic, from the Titanic’s point of view, to Mary Trott nervously taking to the stage to recite Women’s Work by celebrated poet, the late Maya Angelou, to Natasha Castro singing A Lovely Night by Hammerstein, and all the performers inbetween, it was indeed a lovely night. Harry Jennings kept the ball rolling with good humour when his introduction sheet didn’t quite line up with the program. He opened the night in dark glasses, he said in Oscar style, wearing a fancy tuxedo he was proud to say he found for $10 at the Salvation Army Thrift Store, a great place to shop. At the very end of the evening the adjudicators’ recommendations for the provincial festival of arts taking place in Powell River May 26 to 30 were announced. Paul Noble who recited Anthony’s Speech by Shakespeare is recommented to compete in intermediate speech arts. Theresa Stirling, who performed Notturno by Grieg, was recommended to compete in senior piano. Anna Mitchell, who sang Believe by Ballard/Silvestri, was recommended to attend the provincial festival as the junior vocal observer. Keziah Froese, who sang Pretty Funny by Pasek and Paul, was recommended to attend the provincial festival as the intermediate vocal observer.

Lions Club members with their concessions at other events such as the recent Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo and the upcoming Mother’s Day pancake breakfast coming up on May 10. You will also find them raising money through bake sales, flea markets, selling garden products and applying for government gaming grants. Their service comes with a great sense of camaraderie. “As a Lioness I appreciate the opportunity to serve our community as a volunteer for the betterment of all,” says club president Carolyn Ball. President-elect Midori Kozuki and treasurer Joanne Laird, both charter members, have fond memories of the organization. “My best friends are in Lioness,” Laird says. “I value so much the friends I have made over the years and helping the community to be a better place is rewarding. What would we do without all of our volunteers, not just the Lioness. Williams Lake is such a great place to live.” Kozuki adds: “It has

certainly helped with my personal growth and helping in the community is very satisfying.” They say some of the highlights for the club over the years have included having two Williams Lake members, Marlene Davis and Maree Benoit serve terms as district presidents. Another fun event was having Midori’s husband, Ed, transport about eight of their members to a conference in Nanaimo where they did a musical comedy skit Standing on the Corner Watching all the Lions Go By based on the song by a similar name. “We didn’t win but we sure had a lot of fun,” Laird says. Kozuki said the members also had an enjoyable time attending a district meeting at Camp Winfield for children, a Lions Club project to which the lakecity Lioness Club contributes $1,000 a year toward the cost of a child to attend the camp. The lakecity Lioness Club also donates annually to the Gavin Lake Forest Education

Centre which provides camp-style education for Grade 6 students. “We’ve been contributing to that project for a while now and get a lot of cute letters of thanks from the students,” Kozuki says. A highlight of this past year was receiving the Spirit Award from the Lioness District president. The award is given in recognition of the enthusiasm and spirit of a club within the district. The Lioness District includes six clubs ranging from Moses Lake Washington to Williams Lake. The Lioness Club actually got its start in 1967 when some of the wives of Lions Club members wanted to get to know each other better. Between 1967 and March of 1980, when the Williams Lake Lioness Club received its official charter with 16 members, Laird says they were known as the Lionettes. Sponsored by the Williams Lake Lions, the club joined thousands of Lioness Clubs around the world dedicate to improving their communities.

As Lioness Charter President Maree Benoit said: “Membership is open to all women who would like to enjoy the friendship of some of the finest women in our community. “Lioness provides an opportunity to do service which you and I cannot do as individuals. You won’t be asked for more of your time than you can give. Your family and job come first.” Members meet on the first and third Thursdays of the month at the Seniors’ Activity Centre. Women who would like to join the club can call membership chair Mary Lewis at 250398-5045. The executive includes president Carolyn Ball; vice-president Judy Garlinge; secretary Sharon Burnier; treasurer Joanne Laird, and presidentelect Midori Kozuki who will assume the position at the end of June. Everyone is invited to the Lioness Club’s 35th anniversary tea and open house at the Seniors’ Activity Centre on Sunday, May 3 starting at 2 p.m.

The cast of this play about family entanglements includes Jay Goddard as Robert, a brilliant but unstable mathematician; Bobbie-Jo Macnair as Catherine, Robert’s daughter; Becky Strickland as Claire, Catherine’s estranged sister; and Dan Patterson playing Hal, a former student of Robert’s. On the eve of her 25th birthday, Cath-

erine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Robert left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: how much of her

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer After outscoring their opposition 170-10, the Lake City Falcons senior girls seven-a-side rugby team became bronze medalists at this month’s BC High School Girls Rugby Sevens Provincials. The 16-team tournament, hosted on Vancouver Island April 1718, saw the Falcons sink their talons into one of the tournament’s top seeds, the Cowichan Thunderbirds from Duncan, to win 3210 in the bronze-medal game. The team’s only loss came against the Abbotsford Panthers in a tightly-contested 7-5 semifinal edging — a team they’d hammered 27-0 the day before. Falcons’ head coach Morley Wilson, who co-coaches the team with Rebecca Thomas and Braeden McCallum, said he was extremely proud of how the team played, and said it all worked out in the end. “They were so nervous going into that semifinal game,” Wilson said. “By our last game [for bronze] I could tell they were relaxed. They all played well together.” To reach the bronze-medal match the Falcons defeated Earl Marriot 53-0, Oak Bay 31-0, Kelowna 22-0 and Abbotsford 27-0. Wilson pointed to the core of Tasha Johnson (37 points), Anna Bracewell (10 points), Skye Forcier, Emma Pfleiderer (20 points), Laura Pfleiderer (51 points), Carleigh Walters (20 points), Emma Feldinger (17 points) and Taylor

Sager (five points) in leading the team throughout the tournament. Johnson, who captains the Falcons, said it was a complete team effort that secured the bronze. “We finally worked well as a team and it was awesome to see it come together after all these years of playing together,” said Johnson, who scored seven tries at provincials. “We worked really hard on supporting each other on the field and it totally worked. The scores really reflected how we played.” Off the field, the team adopted

a new mascot — a Falcon stuffie — which added camaraderie among players, Johnson said. “We’re creating new traditions,” she said. “He watched all our games and came to all our meals and we’ll be carrying on with that throughout the season.” Johnson also thanked the team’s coaches for helping them through the tournament. The bronze-medal game was played in Langford in front of roughly 3,000 people in between matches at the Canada Women’s Sevens — part of the World Rug-

by Women’s Sevens Series. While at the tournament the team also had the pleasure to watch Williams Lake and Team Canada’s Kayla Moleschi suit up for her country. In the championship final Brentwood College downed Abbotsford, 15-7. Now, the Falcons have shifted their focus to the 15-a-side season, which culminates May 21-23 with the ‘AA’ provincial championships in North Vancouver at the Capilano Rugby Club. Heading in, the team is likely to be seeded third in the province.

The community of Horsefly is hosting a 10-kilometre Fun Run Saturday, May 9. Registration goes from 9 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. at the Horsefly school, with the run beginning at 11 a.m. from the Millar Road boat launch.

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The chance of a junior B hockey team coming to Williams Lake became much more of a possibility last week after a newly-formed management team announced its intentions to start the process. Rob Sandrock — a professional hockey player born and raised in Williams Lake with more than 16 years of pro experience — revealed he’s been managing a Facebook page, “Williams Lake Jr. B Hockey,” and said he’s formed the team with Total Ice Training Centre’s Tyrel Lucas and Speedy Petey’s Car Wash and Lube’s Ryan Bailey to bringing a team to the lakecity. “[This group] has the knowledge and experience to succeed,” Sandrock said via the announcement. “Tyrel has been developing hockey players for the past seven years and with his facility will give junior players the training and instruc-

in their hometown and create positive role models for our younger youth,” Sandrock said. “While we may be the driving force trying to bring a team to Williams Lake it will be your team, Williams Lake’s team and will be treated as such. “Without you, we will not be successful. With you, we can create something the whole city can be proud of, to call theirs and to be a part of.” Sandrock said the management team

will be arranging an information forum in the near future to create an opportunity to answer any questions from the public. “[We hope to have the meeting] as soon as possible with as many people as we can get,” he said. “We’d love to speak to as big of an audience as we can.” Until then, he said he can be reached with questions and comments at robsandrock@icloud.com, or on his Facebook page, “Williams Lake Jr. B Hockey.”

The Rowdies are this year’s Williams Lake Slo-Pitch League Icebreaker champions. The team downed the Toyota Tailgaters, 15-5, to win the ‘A’ division championship Sunday at the Esler Sports Complex.

Rowdies start season on high note Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Rowdies hit one out of the park on Sunday to kick off the Williams Lake Slo-Pitch League season and win the annual Icebreaker Tournament. The team went unbeaten in the tournament, eventually defeating the underdog Toyota Tailgaters in the ‘A’ division final, 15-5, to claim the championship. By the third inning the Rowdies had built a commanding 8-2 lead. Then in the fifth, the club again caught fire, extending its lead to 15-2. Toyota answered back with three more runs, but the Rowdies closed it out in the seventh. En route to the final the Rowdies defeated

the Lakers and later, the Tailgaters, in the winners semifinal before rematching the team for the championship. Toyota, meanwhile, got past the Highlife, the Rookies and the Lakers to reach the final. The tournament saw 25 teams play one or two seeding games before being moved into one of four divisions. The ‘B’ division title went to the Brew Jays, who knocked off Sticks and Stones in a close 13-11 victory. The team stayed on the winners side of the draw through the division, beating Sticks and Stones earlier Sunday morning, then knocking off the Giants. In the ‘C’ division it was the Cowboys and NDNZ beating the Fireballs, 22-9, for the

Leave your car in the garage and grab your bike — it’s time to get in gear for Bike to Work and School Week. The annual B.C. event takes place May 25-31 this year and encourages healthy living, clean air, and fun times. Scout Island Nature Centre and the Williams Lake Air Quality Roundtable are local promoters of the provincial, allages event, helping to reduce vehicle emissions by encouraging active transportation. Motor vehicles create more air pollution than any other single human activity. If everyone in Canada chose an environmentally friendly form of transportation like cycling or walking one day a week, vehicle emissions would be reduced by 20 per cent. Taking part in Bike to Work and School Week will not only get you in shape and contribute to cleaner air quality; it will save you money at the pumps!

Riders can participate individually or as part of a team. Using the Bike to Work BC website, you can track your kilometers, emissions saved, and calories burned as you pedal throughout the week. Each time you log a trip you are entered into a daily draw to win great prizes. The more riding you do, the better your odds of winning. The grand prize this year is a cycling trip for two from Prague to Budapest, sponsored by Exodus Travels. To qualify, you must register at www. b i ke t owo rk . c a / w i l liams-lake” www.biketowork.ca/williamslake and have logged at least one trip during Bike to Work and School Week. Check out the website for events and special offers happening all week.

ment. Whether you are a first timer or a cycling fanatic, the free event makes it enjoyable for you to take part. You can participate by riding to and from destinations besides work and school. Ride to work, ride to school, ride to the store; just get out on your bike and soak up the fresh spring air. Does your bike need a tune up or repairs? Tune up specials ($30 plus parts) are available at Barking Spider and Red Shred’s. Need a bike?

REGIONAL

Ladies Tea marks spring in Tatla Lake Linda-Lou Howarth Special to Tribune/Advisor A fashion show and a great luncheon were the order of the day for the 15th annual Ladies’ Spring Tea held at Tatla Lake Community Hall Saturday, April 25. Quite a few of the women took the opportunity to really dress up for the occasion and looked so lovely. The tea and visits were great. It was nice to see friends visiting each other and catching up on all the latest news. The hall was decorated very tastefully with a springy yellow theme. Tables were graced with green and yellow accessories with white napkins tucked in tallstemmed water glasses. The event included a fashion show which raised a lot of interest in the BFF store in Williams Lake which supplied fashions. Many women bought clothes that were modelled.

Val Telford from Alexis Creek (left) and Carole Satre from Tatlayoko Valley found a quiet place to chat at the Tatla Lake Ladies Tea. Everyone enjoyed socializing and great food. Walk-Rite Shoe Store in Williams Lake also had a wide array of shoes and bags on display, making many women happy to actually be able to shop for footwear and accessories. Lunch was absolutely delicious, provided by

Maelen Zimser, head cook from the Graham Inn who provided two kinds of salad and a baked chicken dish with asparagus and sauce, mmmm, mouth watering. The 15-year celebration cake served with ice cream was so good.

After that most of the visitors jumped up to help clear the tables and headed off to do chores at home. Thanks goes out to Bev Bishop for organizing and overseeing the tea. We do enjoy our ladies’ teas.
