Tsilhqot’in Nation chiefs are voicing their concern about the government’s decision to approve a permit to discharge water into Quesnel Lake from the Mount Polley Mine operations. “The Tsilhqot’in leadership have been receiving many concerned phone calls about this permit,” Chief Joe Alphonse, Tribal Chairman of the Tsilhqot’in National Government, stated in a press release. “We would like to clarify that the Mount Polley project is in Northern Secwepemc territory, but the downstream effects of the dam breach and any effluent are felt by the Tsilhqot’in Nation. (The breach) has had a significant negative impact on our people, our food, social and ceremonial right to fish. We are still waiting to see if the disaster will have a long-term detrimental effect on the smolts and rearing of salmon in Chilko Lake.” Alphonse and Chief Roger William said prior to the tailings being discharged, it does not meet water quality guidelines, suggesting that Quesnel Lake will be contaminated in a “dilution zone.”

Minister wowed by outdoor classroom Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Outdoor education students in Williams Lake are receiving a broader education than their big city counterparts, said B.C.’s Minister of Education Mike Bernier. “These students are experiencing weekly what students in big cities might get to see once during a field trip in four years,” Bernier said as he toured Scout Island Nature Centre with Grade 7 students enrolled in School District 27’s Outdoor Education Program Tuesday. “It’s great to be out here today with all of the students,” Bernier said after discussing a birch tree with one of the students. “What you see is the whole involvement with the outdoor classroom idea where the kids are learning about everything that’s surrounding them. When you look at the environment part of it, it’s great to be out of
the classroom because the world is evolving around us.” As Bernier and MLA Donna Barnett toured the nature house and part of the grounds, students in groups shared some of the information they had been learning. The students covered bird identification, marsh ecosystems, winter adaptations, forestry and habitat loss, predators and prey, the food chain and food web and tree identification. Part of the presentation involved asking the minister questions based on the things they’d been learning, such as the fact trees lose their leaves in the fall because there’s not enough sunlight in the winter for photosynthesis and bears in fact only go into semi-hibernation. After each station, the minister assured the students that he’d learned a lot from them. Teacher Kim Zalay

She goes to the elementary schools in the spring to let the students know about the program and if a stu-
dent is interested they have to apply. There is a cost involved with the program, but there is funding provided if a student comes from a needy family.
“We do the same curriculum as everyone else but our classroom is here or somewhere else outdoors for that one day a week,” Zalay said. This year there are
27 students in the classroom learning about the environment, stewardship and outdoor survival, cross country skiing and canoeing. The tour culminated on the roof where the
students said the view provided them with the ability to really see the area and its wildlife. Bernier also visited Nesika elementary school while touring Williams Lake.
City terminates Victim Services manager Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Three months ago Mick Howell was let go from his job as program manager with Victim Services and was not provided with an expla-
nation. “The way it all went down was a complete surprise,” Howell said, adding it’s taken him this long to be willing to talk about it publicly. Howell said the city sent him an e-mail re-
questing to meet on July 17. He was given a letter stating the city had decided to terminate his employment, and could do that without cause, Howell said. “They gave me six
weeks notice, and when I asked why I was told for operational reasons.” The City’s CAO Darrell Garceau said the city couldn’t comment on a personnel issue, but confirmed it is undertaking a review of the
victim services program. One paid staff member remains working for the police-based program, which Garceau said has an annual budget of $137,090. The Cariboo Regional District contributes
$24,750 and the Ministry of Justice $53,460 while the city covers the remainder. RCMP Sgt. Rick Lebeuf, who was in charge of Victim Services until the end of August when he retired,
said at the time Howell’s dismissal also came as a surprise. “There was no consultation whatsoever with our office, it was a decision solely made by those at the city,” LeBeuf said.
Ministry responds to TNG’s concerns on water discharge permit Continued From Page A1 The chiefs maintain any and all discharge should be treated to a level that meets guidelines prior to discharge and the current level of treatment
does not achieve that. Responding to the TNG’s concerns, the Ministry of Environment said all discharges coming from mine sites must meet the requirements of Metal Mine Effluent Regulations which
falls under the federal government’s Fisheries Act. “With most permits issued under the provincial Environmental Management Act, the quality of effluent discharged relies on the initial dilution
zone to achieve BC Water Quality Guidelines. This is the norm for treated discharges in B.C.” said a spokesperson for the ministry. “With this permit, any treated and discharged water will be required to meet BC
water quality guidelines for aquatic and public health at the edge of the 100 metre dilution zone and in Quesnel Lake at all times.” Staff from Mount Polley Mine and Imperial Metals are
hosting a meeting in Williams Lake Wednesday, Dec. 9. to update the community on the shortterm water discharge permit the Ministry of Environment approved last week as well as the mine’s re-
sponse to the breach, its proposal to restart the mine, and plans for short and longterm water management at the site. The meeting takes place at the Gibraltar Room from 7 to 9 p.m.

Nature Kindergarten is a School District 27 program of choice and will integrate the provincial full-day Kindergarten program into learning activities that will take place outdoors and in the classroom in Scout Island Nature Centre. “Parents must attend the information session before registration because they need to understand how the program works and make sure it is a good fit for their child,” says Joan Lozier, SD 27 early years co-ordinator. She says children who are adaptable, flexible, enthusiastic, able to follow directions well, cooperative, have no problem getting dirty and love to be outdoors in all kinds of weather will be best suited for this rigorous program. The first information session will be offered on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2016 at Scout Island Nature Centre starting at 6:30 p.m. A second information session will be offered Thursday, Jan. 14,
2016 at Little Moccasins Learning Centre starting at 6:30 p.m. Both sessions will cover the same information, Lozier says. A family member must be present to receive an application form. Application forms will only be available at the parent information sessions. Any child who resides within SD 27 boundaries and whose fifth birthday falls between January 1 and December 31, 2016 can participate in the program, if space is available. Since the Nature Kindergarten is affiliated with Marie Sharpe Elementary, families outside the Marie Sharpe catchment area will need to complete a School of Choice application. The student must first be registered at the school in own catchment area, beginning January, 18, 2016. After that a school of choice application is made for the student to attend Marie Sharpe. March 15, 2016 is the deadline for school
of choice applications which are date and timestamped for first come, first serve consideration. A wait list will also be established, but Lozier said any vacancies will not normally be filled after Sept. 16, 2016. Only completed application forms will be considered. The process for completing application forms will be reviewed at the parent information sessions. Lozier says parents of accepted students will be notified no later than March 31, 2016 and families will be asked to confirm their child’s Nature Kindergarten placement by April 15, 2016. Lozier says full information on the Nature Kindergarten application process is available on the School District 27 website. She says parents also share a greater responsibility for their child being in the Nature Kindergarten program in that they are required to sign a liability form and must make sure their child is at Marie Sharpe on time
to make the bus transfer to Scout Island. If the child needs to be taken out of school for a doctor’s or other appointment, she says it is the responsibility of the parent to find the child wherever the group may be at the nature centre. SD 27 is offering the Nature Kindergarten in recognition of the growing body of evidence regarding the developmental significance of contact with nature and its positive impact on children’s physical and mental well-being. Regardless of the locale, all students participate in carefully planned activities that support their intellectual, emotional, social, artistic, aesthetic and physical development, just as in the regular Kindergarten programs. Children are involved in thoughtfully planned and presented learning experiences which promote: discovery, play, exploration, environmental stewardship and Aboriginal ways of learning and knowing.

NEWS Support for refugees growing
STOCKING UP
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer So far local residents have pledged more than $20,000 to sponsor refugees to come to Williams Lake. “We were requested to have $15,000 so we could guarantee sponsorship,” said Sharon Taylor, the interim secretary of the Williams Lake Refugees Sponsorship Group. Formed this fall, the group has signed on with the Anglican Diocese of Kootenay for sponsorship, working co-ordinator Rev. Elizabeth Huether. “At most we hope to sponsor one family of three to six people,” Taylor said. “There may be one or two more families if people are able to sponsor more.” Taylor said the committee is prepared to sponsor people from Syria or Iraq, but said it is more likely those refugees will go to larger cities. “We would be most able to support immigrants from Latin America, preferably Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

with Spanish as one of their languages, as we have a strong Latino community,” Taylor said. Sponsorship requires financially, emotionally and socially supporting the refugees for one year. Their housing, transportation, food, startup costs and extra medical needs such as dental or eyeglass is part of that sponsorship, although some of that can be covered in-kind, as well as some possible training costs. “We have had amazing support from the community and it is still coming in,” Taylor said. “The support just keeps getting stronger as people are so quick to offer money, even housing.” Taylor works as a settlement practitioner with the Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society Williams Lake Branch and said there are four different free language classes offered a day that are provincially funded. “We have services here and work here,” she added. “We can support people.”

o many things start out as good ideas and get lost along the way. The Agriculture Land Reserve, instituted in the 1970s to protect and preserve farmland, was a good idea back then. Given droughts, floods, and an ever-growing global population, it is even a better idea today to ensure we have some arable land left for food growing. Those of us who are dismayed at the rate farmland is disappearing (e.g. 4,600 hectares to be lost with Site C) will be pleased to know the worthy members of the Agriculture Land Commission are right on their toes. Yessiree. They are focussing on improper use of farmland, and guess what, one improper use is making a dollar or two n hosting wedding ceremonies. French It seems more Connection and more people Diana French want to exchange vows in a pastoral setting and more and more farmers and ranchers are accommodating them. And why not? Well, it seems last September the ALC came up with a draft policy to ensure farmland is actually being used for framing. Good idea, but how can a wedding ceremony threaten farmland? Farmers can get permits to host weddings, but it takes time and the uncertainty has thrown a monkey wrench into some of next year’s wedding plans. A few years ago ranchers and farmers were being encouraged to add agritourism to their businesses. Wouldn’t weddings come under that umbrella? Seems to me the commissioners are swallowing camels (Site C) and choking on gnats. *** Speaking of choking on gnats, why does the public get bent out of shape over who pays Trudeaus’ nannies but nary a squawk about the 49 patronage appointments Mr. Harper made in the dying days of his government? *** The following is making the rounds on Facebook. Don’t know the author. “Millions of dollars have been spent spent on the war on drugs but it has brought more drugs. Governments are spending millions of dollars fighting terrorist, but it’s just brought more terrorists. What about declaring a war on jobs and money and see what happens?

Our Viewpoint
Looking for answers Reports that the U.S. has logged more than 350 mass shootings this year are shocking. And, according to details shared by those who have tracked the violence, there have been five such incidents on more than a single day. From our relatively quiet homes, it’s difficult to fathom one such senseless act, never mind more in one year than there are days. It’s no surprise that the gun-control debate is heating up south of the border. Last Wednesday’s killing of 14 people at a San Bernardino, Calif. social-services agency was reportedly the deadliest in the U.S. since that at Sandy Hook Elementary three years ago, when 26 children and adults were gunned down. When the issue of gun control is raised in Canada, opponents to such regulations rightly argue the laws make no difference to those with a criminal mind and a determination to

do lethal damage. Regardless of the country, province or state, and regardless of whether there are laws and how strict or lax they may be, the reality is the problem lies more with the people who possess firearms than the firearms themselves. It can be argued that there is a necessity for such artillery, that completely removing guns from the equation is not the solution. Those tasked with ensuring our safety need them. Time and time again, the debate appears to come to an impasse, when weighing whether one’s legal right to possess guns means that they should. It’s a question that needs serious consideration by lawmakers not only in the U.S., but worldwide, before mass shootings become so commonplace that they no longer make headlines. -Black Press

get jobs. Using the resources we have is a practical approach to skills training. Here in Williams Lake, ranching is a big part of our local economy. On Nov. 25, a community meeting was MLA held in Williams Musings Lake to discuss Coralee Oakes post-secondary opportunities. One of the programs discussed was Thompson Rivers University’s Applied Sustainable Ranching Program. Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon visited Williams Lake’s Thompson Rivers University campus on Dec. 1 to celebrate the program’s launch. The first of its kind in our province, this program, a collaborative partnership, will give students the chance to learn to build and maintain ranching enterprises in B.C. Students will learn how to create enterprises suited to the particular environment and resources while ensuring it provides a return on investment. They can transfer their knowledge to the agriculture industry in any region. The next intake for the program is in January. Learn more at tru.ca/williamslake/ programs/sre.html. By working together we can promote opportunities for people in Williams Lake. Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction.

Residents treated unfairly in snow removal policy Editor: Members of Williams Lake City Council received copies of a letter, last week, written on behalf of residents and Sunridge Strata Council board of directors, expressing concern that snow removal contractors will no longer be allowed to dump snow on city property. To date, there has been no reply to this letter.
As a director of the Sunridge Strata Council, I wish to reiterate our concern that residents are being treated unfairly. The owners of 60 units pay taxes at the same rate as owners of single family dwellings, despite living in a concentrated space, yet receive less services. This change will create extra expense for the middle-income bracket residents, who will be required to pay increased
fees, as contractors must drive greater distances to dump snow. An alternative solution could be to charge a dumping fee for contractors using city land. This would increase city funds, with the added advantage of reducing fuel consumption and pollution. Mary Ellison Williams Lake

Canada’s new Prime Minister a threat to country Editor: Canada has just elected Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister with a huge parliamentary majority. So, whether we like or not, we are stuck with him for at least four years…and we will live to regret it. Trudeau will assail Canada on several fronts. He will import thousands of Muslims with little or no vetting. These people, 70 per cent of which are fighting age men, will be embedded in various parts of the country. The Liberal governments of B.C. and Ontario, along with the NDP govern-

ment of Alberta are welcoming these so-called refugees with open arms. Christie Clark of B.C. suggests they should be sent to small communities like Prince George. Intelligence agencies estimate that at least two per cent of these “refugees” are jihadists. So, Canada will import approximately 500 jihadists (potential terrorists). What we are facing is an invasion carefully planned by Muslim supremacists. Good luck, Canada. The Muslim threat is a real one. Consider the recent Paris terrorist attack, the rape epidemic overtaking the Scandinavian
countries, the riots in refugee resettlement camps, and you get an idea of what this influx of some 25,000 Muslims might mean to Canada. The other front Trudeau will hit us from is the environmental one. Abetted by Rachel Notley, he will put a stop to the tar sands production. He has already banned tankers from the northern coast of B.C., and will more than likely stop the development of pipelines to move bitumen. At the same time he will spend millions, if not billions, of dollars of taxpayer money for green energy adventures, just like his pal

A child chooses a live tree at the University of B.C. Christmas tree farm in Vancouver. Permits to cut a live tree from Crown land are available in most areas of the province.
Permits to cut Christmas trees available Tom Fletcher Black Press Free use permits to cut a Christmas tree on Crown land are available from forest district and FrontCounterBC offices in most areas of the province.
Local district offices can identify areas of Crown where one tree may be legally cut for personal use. Permits are not available for the Chilliwack and South Island forest districts due to population density and tree demand.
The ministry’s Christmas tree website at www.for.gov. bc.ca/mof/xmastrees. htm has links to offices that offer tree permits for designated areas, with online permits available in some regions. The website has links and phone
numbers for FrontCounterBC and forest district offices. There is also a link to the B.C. Christmas Tree Council, which has a list of private tree farms around B.C. Once you have a Crown land permit,
the ministry suggests leaving home prepared with ropes, gloves and tools. Choose a tree that can be cut near the base and is easily transported out, to minimize waste and debris that can be a fire hazard next summer.

Entertainment Culture
Maranatha Players a time-honoured musical tradition Becky Strickland Special to Tribune/Advisor
America’s Got Talent judges, Simone Growl (Shayla Muir) and Paul Abbot (Julian Ratz) with the show’s producer (Katie Isaac) in the musical, Don’t Stop Believin’!
There is a tradition that has held at Maranatha Christian School for the past 14 years. It is a tradition that begins with eager students waiting to audition for a fall production, way back in September; a tradition that continues for three months of rehearsal for sometimes up to 12 hours a week. This tradition culminates in a fantastic, family friendly musical production. It is a tradition that allows students to grow in confidence, dramatic skills and team work. Most importantly, this tradition has always included enter-
taining the people of Williams Lake. This year is no different. A group of Maranatha Christian School high school students, known as the Maranatha Players, have been working to bring to the stage the musical production, Don’t Stop Believin’! written by Craig Sodaro and Bill Francoeur. The play takes place at The Ethel Lampert Community Centre, which has seen better days and may soon see its final days unless the teens, volunteers and staff find a way to save it. Some sleazy city council members want to bulldoze the place to redevelop and commercialize the neighborhood, but that’s
not stopping the teens who frequent the community centre. From basketball players, to computer nerds, to artists, these down-on-their-luck inner-city kids have no place else to go, and losing the centre would mean losing their home away from home. When they hear of a new television reality contest for glee clubs, they decide to form their own and try out. If they win top prize, they’ll earn enough money to keep the centre open. They’re not sure they’ll be able to pull it off, especially with a city council that’s bribing the egotistical celebrity judges, and an annoyed neighbour
harping on them at every turn, but they are eager to try. This energetic, contemporary musical is bursting with large rock and pop chorus numbers and a powerful, anthemic finale. The cast members have put in many hours working on intricate harmonies, as well as choreographed routines, one of which includes basketballs. The student’s eagerness and enthusiasm was evident in the rehearsals and now that the musical is on stage. In this group there are some students who have many years of experience, having been involved in the school theatre program since Grade 4, and some who are on stage for
the first time. Together they have created a cast that works together and helps each other out. This is a show people of all ages can enjoy. Come out and help us continue our tradition of family friendly entertainment. We hope we can continue entertaining the City of Williams Lake for many years to come. Becky Strickland is a Maranatha Christian School teacher and director of Don’t Stop Believin’! The musical finishes its two-week run this Thursday and Friday, Dec. 10-11 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 12 with two shows, at 1 p.m. and 8 p.m.Tickets are available at The Open Book.

Three-day Winter Lights Festival a big hit Listening to parents and children enjoying the indoor and outdoor activities at the three-day Winter Lights Festival over the weekend, it is clear that the event is ringing in a delightful new era of holiday fun in the lakecity. Whether they were making tiny gingerbread houses, old fashioned lanterns, enjoying live entertain-
ment, having faces painted with exquisitely beautiful Christmas scenes, making tree ornaments, winning a cakewalk, creating an ugly Christmas sweater, visiting with Santa and Mrs. Claus or enjoying the ever-popular Santa Parade Saturday evening, there were lots of smiles and positive comments.
Russel Shetler, and his wife Trisha took their children Jacob, 6, and Owen, 4, to the Santa Parade. “We really enjoyed it,” Russel said. “I felt like we were in a Hallmark Christmas movie. It was amazing,” Trisha added. Gina Graham attended the craft events Friday evening with
her children and grandchildren. “Everything that is going on is phenomenal,” Graham said. “What these people have done is amazing. I am very proud of our town and our people.” See SANTA Page A13

Hagensborg author pens third book Sage Birchwater Special to Tribune/Advisor Hagensborg poet, author and homesteader Wayne Padgett, has just selfpublished his third book The Atnarko Writings, Memoirs and Tales. This collection of stories and poems of life in the great wilderness of the Atnarko Valley offers wonderful insights into Wayne’s back-to-theland experiences four decades ago. In 1972, Wayne and his wife, Sie, settled in a remote cabin on 80 acres at the bottom of the Bella Coola Hill. The valley was narrow and they spent 15 years farming with horses and raising their three children, Jessib, Quima and Ramone, who were all born there. Their closest neighbour, Josephine Robson, was an Ulkatcho woman who married white settler, George Robson. George passed away before the Padgetts arrived, but Josephine, who lived in the cabin next door, remained an inspiration and mentor to them. That remote back country was populated by a host of colourful characters including Lester Dorsey, Pan Phillips and Stan-
The mountains go straight up behind the Padgett home at the bottom of the Bella Coola Hill.

Modern day pioneer Wayne Padgett has written several books of poetry, but The Atnarko Writing, Memoirs and Tales is his first actual book about his family’s adventures homesteading in the Bella Coola Valley. ley Edwards and they are all portrayed in Wayne’s book. I first met the Padgetts in 1973 when they passed through Williams Lake promoting Wayne’s first book of poetry, Dog Days Poems. They were on a cross-Canada tour to sell the book and explore the country. A couple years later Wayne came to town again with his second self-published book, Horse’s Nose Poems. The title came from Wayne’s childhood pondering of what
a horse’s silky nose might actually feel like. In the summer of 1978 I visited Wayne and Sie at their homestead along the Atnarko River and was impressed by their use of brush fences to contain their animals and keep wildlife from invading their vegetable gardens, and using pigs to cultivate their land for new garden sites. It inspired me to build brush fences on my own homestead a hundred miles away in the mountains south
of Tatla Lake. Over the years we kept in touch and this spring Diane Toop of the Station House Gallery surprised me with a copy of Wayne’s new book, The Atnarko Writings. I found the book inspiring as the author takes you on a journey into his unique world and lets you muse on the moment and savour the experiences he shares. In one account titled, Anahim Peak, it is minus-30-degrees on the Chilcotin Plateau as Wayne tucks
into his bedroll for the night next to a roaring campfire. In the morning he discovers wolf tracks around his camp. “It seemed the wolves had come in and sat with us on the edge of our firelight,” he writes. “For all we knew they may have watched us sleep. We were too tired to care.” His style is mostly prose but occasionally takes on a more poetic flair. His accounts are snippets of another time and place that can only be imagined now. The Atnarko Writings is available in Williams Lake at the Station House Gallery, at Nimpo Lake Store, Anahim Lake Trading or Kopas Store in Bella Coola.

Four of the club’s skaters — Kolbi Seterengen, Emma Penner, Ryanne Jones and Alanna Walters — attended the Jingle Blades competition Nov. 20-22 in Aldergrove.

At the Okanagan Interclub competition from Nov. 27-29 in Kelowna, the WLSC brought a contingent of 13 skaters. WLSC head coach Joanne Macnair said all of the club’s skaters performed very well. “[They were] busy competitions,” she said. “Some were in multiple events. “[I was] very pleased with our first time competitors Bailey Jones, Haedyn Lens, Julia Bowman and Faith Ritchot.” The club now has its sights set on training for the upcoming regional competition in Prince

Falcons finish strong at AAA soccer provincials Greg Sabatino Staff Writer After a slow start, the Lake City Falcons senior boys soccer team finished strong at the B.C. AAA Provincial Soccer Championships. The Falcons finished with a record of two wins and three losses to place 13th out of 16 teams at the tournament, held in Burnaby from Nov. 26-28. Lake City Secondary School lost its first game to Burnaby Central, 8-0. Burnaby Central wound up third in the tournament. “The first game was an adjustment for the players to get used to the speed of playing at the AAA soccer level,” said Falcons head
coach Brian Hansen. “Lots of very fast and skilled players. “After that, we continued to improve in every game.” The Falcons then fell 2-0 to Sullivan Heights (8th overall) and 6-1 to Princess Margaret (10th overall) before putting together a pair of wins to end the tournament. “In the second game we lost 2-0 but could have won, as well, and were unlucky not to finish a few chances,” he said. “Game three we made a few changes to generate a little more offence and while the result was not what we wanted, our play became more offensive.” In the team’s fourth game the Falcons won
an exciting shootout victory, 1-0, against Vancouver’s Lord Byng secondary. They then shutout another Vancouver school, David Thompson, 3-0, to wrap up the tournament. “Game four was won in an exciting shootout requiring six shooters from each team,” Hansen said. “In the last game we were clearly the better team and put in a great work effort.” Hansen said every player deserves full credit for their efforts and should be proud of how they represented their school this year. “It was a real pleasure for dragon Jukic and myself to coach the team this year,” he
