Complaints pour in as hunting season ramps up Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer
the areas the infractions are happening are on Dog Creek Road from Chimney Valley toward Alkali Lake and at 150 Mile House on Redeau Lake Road and Valley Road. “We are getting some very good calls.” The COS is also investigating the shooting of a caribou in the Itcha Mountains. “It’s legal to hunt caribou if you
have a tag, but you have to take the meat out,” Butler said. “(In this case) they only took the antlers and the cape for the head mount.” Black bear complaints within Williams Lake have not been too frequent, although livestock predation by black bears has continued to be a problem, as well as by wolves and cougars. In the 100 Mile House area, it’s

With hunting season in full swing, the complaints are cranking up, said Sgt. Len Butler of the Conservation Officer Services. “We have had several calls about night hunting and people trespassing on private property,” Butler told the Tribune Tuesday, noting
been a different story with bear complaints, Butler noted. “We had to put down four just last week. Bear complaints are coming in from Lac La Hache, Forest Grove, 108 Mile and 100 Mile. All of the complaints have been garbage and fruit related.” Some people are cleaning up their properties but then their neighbours are not, Butler said.

Gang violence to be focus of meeting Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Another meeting focused on gang violence in Williams Lake is slated for Thursday at city hall. “It will be our fourth meeting,” said Erin and Pat Graham with Guardian Youth at Risk and Family Services who have been organizing the meetings. The main focus of Thursday’s meeting will be to gather funded agencies together to talk to each other, said Mayor Walt Cobb. “We want to find any gaps there may be as far as what services need to be provided to alleviate the crime issue,” he said. Before another big community meeting can be called it’s important to identify key support services that are available in the community and determine next steps, Cobb said. “It’s no use having meeting after meeting if we don’t have a game plan.” Erin said an important piece in the puzzle is having people in the community who are
willing to stand up in a court room and say what they saw. As an ex-gang member who has reformed his life, Pat hopes to be able to help youth in and around Williams Lake emerge from the gang life. “Since he was three years old, he was a victim of the system,” Erin said of her husband. “We want those gang members to know they are not alone and can change their lives.” Darrick Boyes, who volunteers with the group said they also want to be able to offer solutions to active gang members, criminals and victims. “We want to try and be approachable for anyone looking for help,” Boyes said. “We’re not a vigilante group. We are not pointing fingers at anybody but we are not going to sit here and deny the fact we have a problem.” The meeting takes place 2 to 3:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome. The group has also started a Facebook page titled Taking Back the Streets of Williams Lake.

Alexis Creek RCMP asking for public assistance in thefts The Alexis Creek RCMP are asking the public for assistance regarding the theft of ATVs recently. During the evening of Aug. 27 or the early morning of Aug. 28 suspects broke into the Ministry of Forests locked compound in Alexis Creek. The suspects forced entry into a building and
stole two ATVs which belonged to the local BC Wildfire Service Chilcotin Ravens Unit Crew which is a wildfire suppression team based out the Alexis Creek Forestry office. The stolen ATVs are described as a 2012 red Honda TRX 420 and a green 2008 Suzuki King Quad. The ATVs were
used extensively this summer by the Ravens Crew to fight the Puntzi Lake wildfire and their loss is damaging to the Ravens Crew ability to fight wildfires, said Cpl. M. H. McNeil, Operations NCO for the Alexis Creek RCMP. The Alexis Creek RCMP are requesting the public’s assistance
with any information which would lead to the recovery of the stolen ATV and the arrest of the person’s responsible. Please contact the RCMP at (250) 3944211 or Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222-TIPS (8477). Crimes Stoppers also subscribes to web tips at www.bccrimestopppers.com.

The beautiful thing about going to school in a small town is that our children’s schools are all within walking distance of unmanicured forests, fields and natural play areas. Districts around the world are looking for ways to get their students outside more as research is showing how important it is to academic and social success. People who spend time outside are better at making friends, concentrating and experience less depression and anxiety. Direct experience with nature is also effectively used in therapy for individuals with ADHD or who have experienced emotional trauma. Teachers and administrators in our district have recognized this and are working hard to find ways of incorporating more outdoor time and experiential learning into their students learning. One of the ways the district is pursuing outdoor education is through Columneetza’s Grade 7 Outdoor Education Academy which started last

easy year to take learning outside. Nesika’s Kindergarten class has been heading outside into the nearby forest almost daily over the last few years to look for bugs, play games in the snow, observe interesting details on the trees, play imaginatively, sneak up on ravens, experience the changing seasons, and dig in the snow for mouse tunnels. There is always something intriguing to do when they go outside. This class also visits Scout Island as many times per year as possible. Lake City Secondary teachers, with the support of Scout Island and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, will be taking Grade 1012 students on the annual Salmon trip to Likely again this year. This is in addition to a complimentary program for grades 7-9 students. The program started more than 15 years ago and has students working with Fisheries staff to collect Chinook salmon eggs for the Stream to Sea program. They also get to spend time with researchers at the UNBC Quesnel River Research Centre.
As this school year moves forward, many teachers will be looking to the outdoors to provide enriching experiences for our students. When you see kids in our community writing, drawing, measuring, and playing outdoors, know that they are learning in a meaningful way. Frances McCoubrey is the distance education teacher for SD 27. Nara Riplinger is a math and science teacher at Columneetza. Riplinger, along with Jodie Mason, Kim Zalay are the teacher sponsors of the Greenologists, a student sustainability group. Riplinger says they are also fortunate to receive funding from the Mitchell Odyssey Foundation which funds STEMs projects in BC public schools (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathmatics). The funding helps purchase outdoor research equipment for students, participate in outdoor field trips to Tatla Lake, Horsefly, and other local areas, and gives a start on our greenhouse production.

SEPTEMBER SPECIAL
20% OFF
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A young colt at the Stampede Grounds is getting stronger every day after a rough beginning. When Cassy, a thoroughbred Percheron was born on Aug. 3, she had an iron deficiency and was unable to walk, her owner Bonnie-Jean Bathgate said. “We were able to keep her alive with colostrum we had from another mare. And she was strong enough for us to bring her to Dr. Doug Magnowski.” Cassy was born at Silverbirch Farm on the West Fraser Road. Her mother is Bathgate’s 13-yearold Percheron named Daring. Bathgate works at the Ramada Inn and said her boss has been very supportive in letting her run down to see the horses. Last month Bathgate brought Cassy from the vet to be with her mom. She bottle fed her the first few days and on Friday was happy to discover Cassy was nursing from her mom. “A lady told me she was drinking off her mom and I was finally able to see it,” Bathgate said. “Now mom’s on another diet to increase her milk.” Cassy’s also been wearing a splint on and off to help

any Middle East countries are rich because of oil, but Canada has many other valuable natural resources beside oil. Why are we so poor? - Gabriel Yu Why indeed. The warm-up days of the federal election campaign are over and the parties are getting into the nitty gritties. I’d like to know what they have in mind to ensure we get full value from our natural resources. Why are we so broke our governments can rarely balance their budgets? Where does the money go? According to a Wall Street analysis, Canada is the fourth richest resource country in the world. Much of our wealth is in fossil fuels but we have phosphate galore, the world’s second French largest proven reConnection serves of uranium Diana French and the third most available timber reserves. We’re No. 3 for aluminum, No. 4 for Nickel and we have plenty of copper, gold and diamonds. Doesn’t anybody want our stuff? Or are we giving it away? Norway isn’t a Middle East country but it has oil, and according to reports it has close to $1 trillion (yes, that’s a “t” ) stashed in reserves. We have debt. We also have new issues. On Monday the Fort Nelson First Nation won a mega legal challenge against the B.C. government and Nexen Inc., an upstream oil and gas company. The Environmental Appeal Board has cancelled the company’s license for shale gas fracking in the Horn River Basin, effective immediately. Issued in 2012, the license allowed Nexen to pump millions of cubic meters of water each year from Tsea Lake in FNFN territory. After three weeks of hearing expert reports, scientific literature, etc. the EAB rejected the license because it found the science behind it was fundamentally flawed in both concept and operation, and the Province had breached its constitutional duty to consider the potential adverse effects on FNFN. Once Canada’s third largest oil company, Nexen is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Beijing-based CNOOC Ltd. Question: Can Nexen sue under FIPA? Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune.

Our Viewpoint
Back to school affects all of us The first school bells of fall will ring out today (Sept. 9) across School District 27 signalling the end of those lazy summer days and a return to busy routines. We hope students from Kindergarten to university are anticipating the semester with excitement rather than dread, because there’s a lot to look forward to every autumn in our school’s classrooms, hallways and playgrounds. Even if we graduated many moons ago and have long since forgotten algebra and historical dates, there are important education issues in our community that affect us. Back to school is a fine time, for example, to think about anti-bullying measures and setting an example and spreading the word. It’s also worthwhile to have conversations about mental health, especially with teenagers who can feel as though they carry the weight of the world at this time of their lives.

Education is also an election issue, sort of. It isn’t a mandate of the federal government, but there are connections — the economy affects provincial transfer payments and immigration and infrastructure affect community demographics. Back to school signals a return to music lessons, hockey, skating, swimming, wrestling and the list goes on and on. Families are often stretched thin with time and money, so it’s also a good time to be kind to your neighbourhood families who may seem a little frayed this time of year. Certainly, back to school is a chance to reflect on the importance of education and learning and to acknowledge teachers and students. It’s worth putting so much into our schools because of what we get out of them. - Black Press

t may still be hard to believe, but September is already here. Fall is approaching and farmers are in the middle of harvesting their crops and preparing for the changing of the seasons. What better way to celebrate than at the 39th Williams Lake Harvest Fair held on Sept. 12 and 13. The Harvest Fair is a premier event in the Cariboo-Chilcotin that fills both the heart and soul of our community. If you’re in town this weekend, don’t miss out on this Cariboo classic — complete with a West Coast lumberjack show, gymkhana, the third annual Ranch Challenge, art, animals, flowers, baking, horse-drawn wagon rides and agricultural exhibitions, or come and taste and buy some of the delicious products that our local producers MLA have to offer. One Musings of my other favourites is the Exhibit Donna Barnett Hall and the Beef Show, not to mention the chili cookoff! However, the main purpose of the Williams Lake Harvest Fair is to promote the importance of agriculture and how it affects our lives every day. B.C. has one of the most diverse agrifoods sectors in Canada. Did you know that B.C. farms produce about 1.2 million tons of crops and meats a year, as well as 687 million litres of milk and 810 million eggs? Or that B.C.’s greenhouse vegetable growers generated more than $305 million in total farm cash receipts in 2013? This included almost $137 million in peppers, nearly $117 million for tomatoes, close to $46 million in cucumbers and almost $6 million in other vegetable products such as lettuce and eggplant. We are truly blessed with an abundance of premium products here in B.C. We are also fortunate to have so many dedicated volunteers and sponsors who make this event possible every year. I would like to especially thank Tammy Tugnum, president of the Harvest Fair, and each of the executives who help organize the event all year round. It is because of their passion for agriculture and the community of Williams Lake that the fair has been a success for almost 40 years. The fair runs both Saturday and Sunday at Stampede Park, and you can go to the Williams Lake Harvest Fair website at www.wlharvestfair.ca for all the details. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

MORE VIEWPOINTS
Wouldn’t it have been nice to talk to our representative Editor: More and more I’m noticing the great disconnect between us (people who vote) and those questionably in power. For instance, our BC Minister for Health, Terry Lake, showed up in Williams Lake to do what amounts to a layman’s visual analysis of the hospital. Nobody knew he was coming.
And, as a result, we (people who vote) didn’t have an opportunity to collect our own health services information to share, much less did it provide a spontaneous opportunity to talk with our so-called Liberal representative face-toface. I know, I know, they hate that, but we rather like connecting in person. It’s our feet in the stirrups, our colons on the table, our
tonsils in the trash, our parents in “homes,” our votes being belatedly seduced, and our biopsies floating around somewhere while handwritten notes adorn a local clinic’s door citing temporary closures “ ... because we have no doctors.” Just sayin,’ politicians. Just sayin.’ Sherry O’Sullivan Williams Lake
Waterways should be first priority Editor: Gibraltar Mines’ proposal to discharge up to 50 per cent more of its untreated tailings water into the already heavily impacted Fraser River should be a major concern for the public. The Fraser River currently has some of the highest water temperatures and lowest flows on record while trying to house B.C. salmon stocks as they migrate north every year. The Tsilhqot’in National Government (TNG) is very concerned that the discharge
of pollution from Gibraltar’s tailing storage facility will cause negative and irreversible damage to the Fraser River and the species it supports. There are nine confirmed contaminants that are above aquatic life guidelines, one of which is harmful to grazing animals and others that are known toxins for sturgeon. If we have learned one thing from the Mount Polley disaster it’s that our water systems must be protected as first priority, no matter the financial or bureaucratic burden that mining compa-
nies may face. The TNG is watching this permit closely and wants to ensure the protection of the Fraser River and all that benefit from it. In the end, we hope Gibraltar Mines will let the benefits outweigh the cost of developing an alternative plan to polluting the Fraser River. We are certainly prepared to engage with the company to develop the alternative. Chief Joe Alphonse Tribal Chairman Tsilhqot’in National Government
Voter registration does not require photo ID Editor: This letter is in response to the article Tsi Del Del hosts All Tsilhqot’in Nation Gathering by Sage Birchwater. Thank you for highlighting the voter ID requirements for the Oct. 19 election. We’ve noted that the article may give your readers the impression that photo ID is required to vote, but it is not. Voters who don’t have a drivers’ license (or any other gov-

ernment-issued ID with photo, name and address) can still vote. Alternatively, they may show two pieces with their name, one of which must have their current address (no photo is required for these two pieces). There are many pieces to choose from, including the Band membership card, the Métis card and a card issued by an Inuit local authority.

Horse owner encourages public to visit Continued From Page A5 She wanted to be a cowboy and eventually own draft horses. “They tried to convince me to be a jockey because I was small enough, but I said no,” she chuckled. The first draft horse she ever owned was in 1987 and then Pete and Kim Thumand at Silver Birch Farms sold Bathgate her first Percheron in 1994. “I’d been around draft horses all my life. My uncle George Schmidt out of Vanderhoof logged with draft horses.” Bathgate keeps horses at the Stampede grounds all the time. She also has a 17-year-old Clysdale named Todd that came out of Lynden, Washington from a farmer named Fred Polinder. “When I was four years old I remember going across the line and seeing those horses,” she said. “I only dreamt back then of ever owning one of

doesn’t do well on pasture and doesn’t do well without people around. “He was shown all over North America,” she added. “I really encourage people to come
and visit my horses to help get them more exposed to people. It’s good for the mom and baby both.” Other people have been great in helping
her with the horses especially while she’s at work. “There are a lot more hands here in town to help me, plus my vet is in town.”

A few days left for Art Walk 2015 One of the many artists featured is Lucille Thompson Trudeau, whose work is featured at Papyrus Printing. Lucille was born in Saskatchewan and raised in B.C. As a child she was always happy to be drawing something. After starting a family in the wilderness north of Anahim Lake, the family moved to the Bella Coola Valley where she raised her family, finally taking up painting in 1997. She says she has never looked back.

From left to right front row: Kerry Cook (TRU Gala chair), Kayla Lucas (award recipient), Katherine Billy (award recipient), Amanda Elkins (award recipient), Tashina Matilpi (award recipient), Laurel White (award recipient), Jacquelyn Lord (award recipient). Award recipients missing from photo are Spencer Pattison, Madisen Gaylord, Kendra Harder, and Erin Huxley.
TRU Grit assists 11 local university students LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Eleven local students at Thompson Rivers University were awarded money toward their education at a recent ceremony, thanks to the passion and dedication of a local volunteer community group called TRU Grit. TRU Grit members, committed to encouraging post-secondary education in Williams Lake and throughout the Cariboo Chilcotin, awarded $21,500 to the students at an event attended by TRU Grit members and delegates from the university. “We want this school to grow and grow, and one of the best ways to do that is to get students into the classrooms,” said TRU Grit member Brian Garland, who explained that the money for the student awards is raised through the TRU Grit Gala. This annual event, held at the university, features a flawlessly decorated banquet room, live
music, an elegant dinner and more. In four years, the TRU Grit Gala has raised more than $100,000. “This community has been very strong in supporting this institution, and I think that’s fabulous,” he continued. “It’s been said that education is expensive, but I think a lack of education is more expensive. Everything we can do to help students along the way is fantastic.” “Thank you so much for selecting me for the full time student grant,” wrote award recipient Erin Huxley in a thank-you card, explaining that she couldn’t attend the ceremony because she had to work. “As a single mother of two amazing children, I am truly grateful for the financial assistance. Thank you for helping to support me on my journey to better myself, and for helping set an example for my children. With great thanks from Erin Huxley, future Practical Nurse.”
Dr. Ray Sanders, TRU executive director of the Williams Lake campus, said there are two things he’s very passionate about. “One is quality of education, which we definitely have here, and the second thing is access,” Sanders said. “It can be very difficult for students to leave their communities and move away to places like Vancouver, Victoria, or Kamloops, to attend school. “My dream is that one day we don’t have to send students anywhere else — that they can get everything they need right here,” he said, adding that the success and growth of TRU would not happen without the support of TRU Grit and the community. “We’re all about learners being successful. We have plans in place for tremendous growth, but more than that, we want to be here for each student individually,” Sanders said. “We want to provide quality education and a quality environment so that you can be the best you can be.”
Kerry Cook, former Williams Lake mayor, and faculty member for more than 30 years, is the TRU Grit Gala chair. “Education is so important: it’s about breaking down walls and barriers and opening doors to things you never thought possible. There is no better satisfaction than seeing your students leave your classroom with skills and confidence to make a difference in their families and in their communities,” she stated. “That’s why today is so exciting. The $100,000 awarded to students over the past four years would never have happened without someone like Brian Garland: someone who is so passionate about education and opening doors for students. It starts with one person who can inspire a community, and grows from there.” For more information about the 2016 TRU Grit Gala, called Diamonds and Denim, including how you can volunteer, phone Kerry Cook at 250-392-8000.
Setting up for 39th Harvest Fair begins early Williams Lake’s 39th annual Harvest Fair is shaping up to to be another winner this Saturday and Sunday in the Stampede Grounds. The Little Britches Rodeo wasn’t able to be here this year due to a scheduling conflict but there are lots of other special events for people to see in addition to the traditional entries of farm and garden produce, small animals, home crafts and other popular categories such as children’s crafts and events. “We are ready to roll,” says fair president Tammy Tugnum. “The
curling club was very generous and let us in Monday evening to set up. It was extremely nice of them and helpful.” She says one of the attractions this year will be the West Coast Lumberjack demonstration shows which will feature a log birling tank and a climbing pole, events she doesn’t believe have been featured in the logger events held here in the past. This is not a competition, but a demonstration show. There will be three shows in the infield on Sunday.
She says the ranch rodeo taking place in the Trail Rider’s indoor and outdoor arenas is expanded this year to take place both Saturday and Sunday with the gymkhana taking place on Sunday. The popular pet parade will take place at noon on Sunday on the stage next to the curling rink. She says there will also be a petting zoo Saturday in one of the small barns next to the curling rink. In addition to the cafeteria in the curling rink, Tugnum says there will be lots of food vendors
set up around the grounds where activities are taking place adjacent to the infield, at the Trail Rider’s Arena and outside the curling rink. “There are lots of food opportunities this year and lots of variety as well, “ Tugnum says. And both days there will be lots of local entertainers performing on the main stage where the awards presentations will wrap up the fair Sunday at 3:30 p.m. “This is our 39th annual fair and I encourage everyone to get their entries in,” Tugnum says.
Xat’sull Save the Salmon Traditional Pow-wow will take place Friday, Sept. 11 to Sunday, Sept. 13 at the Spawning Channels in Horsefly. The warm-up begins Friday evening at 7 p.m. and the powwow runs through until 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m.

Reach out to prevent suicide Lesley Coates Special to Tribune/Advisor Overall, an estimated 3,900 Canadians and 800,000 people worldwide die by suicide each year, yet it remains a taboo subject that is often not openly discussed. Here in B.C. we lose an average of 500 people a year to suicide. The effects can be devastating to our families and our communities. Suicide prevention is a shared responsibility — we all have the potential to make a difference and save a life. Sept. 10 is World
Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD), a day for communities to show support for suicide prevention, to remember and celebrate the lives of those who have died, to comfort those who grieve and to send a message that there is help, hope and people who care. “Suicide can shatter the lives of the family and friends left behind and can affect anyone of any age, gender and culture,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “There is help available day or night and I encourage all British Columbians to be aware of the many resources available.”

Statistics show that many people start an exercise program but don’t stay with it. This is because most set unrealistic goals and cannot stay with them. Planning a program beyond your abilities is a sure way to fail. If your goals consist of weight loss, 2-5 pounds a month is a safe amount of weight to loss. Set specific activity goals and stick with them. Each month you should review your goals and change accordingly. A good starting point is ten minutes of aerobic activity three times a week and then increase as you become stronger.

Liam Atwood wins Governor General’s Award LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Lake City Secondary School graduate Liam Atwood was just awarded the Governor General’s Award for academic achievement in Grade 12. He is on his way to start a General Sciences degree at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), with an eye to becoming a teacher. “We are very proud of him — he is such a good worker,” said his father, Michael Atwood. “He is bright, but he also works very hard. And that’s his area of achievement,” he said, adding that they learned right along with Liam, helping him with his homework. “Especially my mom,” Liam said. “Sometimes I’d be sitting beside him while he was working on assignments,” she

He is pictured here with his proud parents, Michael Atwood and Vicky Jones. said, “and he’d be talking away about all this information and I’d just fall asleep while he talked.” His dad said that Liam rarely missed school — maybe three days in five years. “I
got stranded here once when they shut the school down. I’d get here at 7 in the morning and would be here until 4 or 5 at night, if I was finishing things up,” Liam added. “It mattered to me.

If you can do well in school, you may as well.” Ken Lucks, viceprincipal, lives in their neighbourhood and showed up at their door to give the family the great news about the award. “It was handy having him live so close — if Liam stayed late and missed the bus working on some writing,
Mr. Lucks would give him a ride home,” Michael noted. Liam said that sciences are his true interest. He said that he enjoys factual reading and writing, but that fiction and creative writing are not his forte. See WINNER Page A13

Winner praises teachers Continued From Page A12
Mr. Lucks and Mr. Gaylord
“My English teacher would say, ‘Liam, you’re not going to be the next Hemmingway.’” He said that, joking aside, he got a lot of support from his teachers. “Mr. Lucks and Mr. Gaylord were both very encouraging — it’s good to have that kind of encouragement,” Michael added. Gregg Gaylord said that most years you see five or six Grade 12
were both very encouraging.”
- Liam Atwood students with very close marks who are eligible to win the award. He said that, with Liam, no one was surprised at the win, adding that Liam was a shining star all the way through school. His marks for Grades 10-12 were 92 per cent or better and were all 100 per cent in Grade 12. “His work ethic is
amazing,” Gaylord added. “He is such a hard worker.” Liam’s name is recorded on the school plaque as a recipient of the Governor General’s award. He received a medallion from the Governor General and two bursary cheques from
the school as a recognition of his achievement — one for the Cariboo Chilcotin Retired Teachers Association bursary for $750, and the Fred McMechan bursary for $1,500. “He is mature beyond his years. I assumed that he might go into medicine — he’s that gifted,” Gaylord said. “But when it comes down to it you pick a career that interests you. He will be a wonderful person to give back in education.”

Suicide prevention begins with our willingness to recognize the signs of suicide and talk openly about it. Sometimes just a few genuine words of concern and active listening can create an open discussion about suicide and encourage an at-risk person to seek help. You can make a big difference.”

Share a book with the Bright Red Book Shelf The Bright Red Bookshelf program recirculates gently used children’s books back into the community where they are made available free to families. Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy started the program seven years ago and since then thousands of books have been distributed. “We started with four bookshelves and now have 14 in operation,” says Claire Schreiner, the volunteer co-ordinator. They can be found in places where children and adults are often waiting: the arena and pool, Atwood Clinic, Boitanio Mall, Cari-
boo Eye Care Clinic, CC Gymnastics Club, Child Development Centre, Community Services Co-op (Second Ave), government building, Heartland Toyota, Ministry of Children and Family Development, Mountview Elementary, Pregnancy Outreach, and Barton Insurance. “There are probably many more possible sites but as it is a volunteer run program we can’t fulfill all requests without volunteers to build the bookshelves and take care of them,” says Schreiner. Anyone interested can contact either Claire 250-398-4173 or Lil 250-6867 for more information.

Books for Babies encourages early learning Books for Babies is a literacy program in the Cariboo-Chilcotin that provides parents of newborns support in the important role they play in the development of their children. Through the program, every baby born in the Cariboo-Chilcotin receives a book bag containing four books including a board book and information about other services in their community. The Books for Babies project in the Cariboo is led by Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy and has been giving book bags to new parents since 2001. “So many of us take reading for granted but the truth is we must make learning to read and loving to read a part of everyday life if we want our children
and our community to be a healthy vibrant place in which to live,” says Lil Mack the program co-ordinator. “Providing early learning through books, the Books for Babies program is one way that we can make a difference!” The Books for Babies program has been an important part of the Cariboo-Chilcotin Partners for Literacy Society (CCPL) since literacy begins with spoken language — babies love to hear their parents’ voice and books give parents something to talk about. When read over and over and over again, a good story gives children the chance to learn language. By reading to their babies, parents help their babies develop language skills and start
them on the path to success in reading and learning. Local organizations donate to support the purchase of Books for Babies packets. “Books for Babies” has been providing books to every new baby for more than a decade. Organized by CCPL, funded by the of Williams Lake and distributed by Interior Health maternity nurses. Books for Babies gives out about 350 bags a year in Williams Lake and about 100 in 100 Mile House. Welcome Wagon and Interior Health nurses say that sharing the book bags with parents is a highlight for them and builds a meaningful bond. Parents are recognized, celebrated and
supported with resources and information for their children.
Parents are encouraged to share books with their children.

Archers return from world championships Four Cariboo Archers represented Team Canada last week at the World 3D Archery Championships in Terni, Italy. Nearly one half of the 19-athlete Team Canada finished in the top 16 groups in their respective categories. “[It was] more than ever before,” said Williams Lake archer Al Campsall. “It is generally conceded that any archer who makes the top 16 cut is capable of winning the gold medal.” In total, 23 countries sent their top archers to vie for a world championship. Cariboo Archer Fred Streleoff led all local athletes finishing 11th in the world, and was the only Cariboo Archer to qualify in the top 16. “He barely experienced elimination when his score was only a few points short of being able to move onto the next elimination round of eight archers,” Campsall said. In 2013, Streleoff led all Canadian Archers with a fifthplace finish. Newcomers to Team Canada, Williams Lake’s father, daugh-
Archers line up to shoot during the World 3D Archery Championships in Terni, Italy. ter duo Dan Mobbs and Jessie Mobbs also shot to 24th- and 17th-place finishes, respectively. Jessie also shot in the team competition and anchored Canada’s first-ever eighth-place result. Campsall, meanwhile, said he encountered some equipment issues — a hairline crack in his arrow rest which cost him errant arrows for his first 12 shots. “No excuses,” he said.
“[I’m] responsible for my own equipment.” Campsall finished four places better than he did in 2013 with a 26th-place finish. “All in all, the experience was quite positive for our local athletes,” he said. “All of us appreciated the beautiful and unique Manmore Falls setting for the shoot and the extreme up and down hill terrain for very technically diffi-
cult shooting. There were many small targets at long distances.” Dan and Jessie both said they appreciated the Team Canada camaraderie, sportsmanship and helpfulness of the athletes both on and off the Canadian team, and especially appreciated shooting with so many highly skilled athletes from around the world. Campsall and Streleoff, meanwhile, said it was nice to get back together with past Team Canada members and create new friendships in the bonding of the Canadian team. All four said they were also appreciative of the local moral and financial support. “Our community members were more than generous with both and we would like to thank them,” Campsall said. Campsall was also chosen during the opening ceremonies as Canada’s flag bearer, however, argued Streleoff may have been the appropriate choice due to his fifth-place result at the 2013 worlds. The 2017 World Championships will be hosted in France.

Fred Rich
Pioneer to Williams Lake, Incredible Strong Spirit WWII Veteran, God Hearted Man. Fred Rich lived a life of a True Legend. From 1952 – 1967, he and his brother logged, ran a sawmill, and made a life in Williams Lake. Father talked of when he rolled a D9 cat and survived, trucked logs that over hung 26 feet from the deck, and found gold in Arizona. He loved mechanics and was a natural at this work. He had two sons and four daughters. He gave to those who had nothing, always giving a stranger a meal or money. He loved to tell his life stories, and his blue eyes would twinkle as he laughed about how blessed his life was. Father is with God, Ahnie and his sister and brothers. 90 years of a great life lived. Fred Rich - a legend in his own right. A special thank you to Veteran Affairs Canada. Service to be held Friday, September 11, 2015 in Kamloops at 3:00 pm at the North Shore Tabernacle Church.
