Cougar activity prompts trail closure Angie Mindus Staff Writer A portion of the Williams Lake River Valley was closed to the public Monday after city staff came upon a fresh cougar kill on the popular walking trial. According to Gary Muraca, the city’s director of municipal services, a staff member was driving in the valley when he came upon a badly injured deer. When he stepped out of the vehicle to investigate, he saw a cougar standing on the nearby bank looking down. Muraca said staff left the scene immediately and reported the incident. “We contacted the Conservation Officer Service and they recommended we close the
trail for four to five days until the cougar moves on,” said Muraca. “We made the decision to err on the side of caution and close the trail in the best interest of public safety.” The upper section of the trail is closed between Comer Street and Frizzi Road. Conservation Officer Service Inspector Len Butler of the Thompson Cariboo Region said the decision to let the cougar have its food source and move on rather than destroy it was made following a thorough investigation. “It’s that time of year. The cougars are following the deer into the valley. (What happened Monday) is just nature taking its course,” Butler said. If the cougar was

City staff have placed several warning signs in and around the Williams Lake River Valley this week to alert residents to a trail closure following cougar activity in the area. removed, Butler said there would be a very good chance another cougar would simply move in to take its place. “At this point it makes no sense to remove the cat. It hasn’t been a public threat.” Butler said with the
return of spring, now is a good time to review safety tips before heading outdoors. According to WildSafe BC, attacks by cougars are rare but can be fatal, especially if young children are involved. Cougars in con-
flict are usually young cougars that have not yet learned how to hunt efficiently and are looking for an easy target, or are older cougars that can no longer hunt efficiently in the wilds. “If you encounter a cougar, keep calm.
Make yourself look as large as possible and back away slowly, keeping the cougar in view, and allowing a clear exit for the cougar. Pick up children and small pets immediately. Never run or turn your back - sudden movements may provoke an attack,” states the WildSafe BC website. If you notice that a cougar that is watching you, maintain eye contact with the cougar and speak to it in a loud firm voice. Reinforce the fact that you are a human and not an easy target. Back out of the area and seek assistance or shelter. “If a cougar shows aggression, or begins following you, respond aggressively in all cases as cougars see you as a meal: keep eye con-
tact, yell and make loud noises, and show your teeth. Pick up nearby sticks, rocks, or whatever you have at hand to quickly use as a weapon if necessary. Crouch down as little as possible when picking things up off the ground. If the cougar attacks, fight back, focusing on its facial and eye area. Use rocks, sticks, bear spray, or personal belongings as weapons. You are trying to convince the cougar that you are a threat, and are not prey,” the website states. Butler reminds people to keep their pets on leashes in cougar territory and urges the public to report human wildlife encounters as soon as possible after they occur at 1-877-9527277.
Community leaders respond to park attack Angie Mindus Staff Writer Longtime biking advocate Mark Savard said it’s time the city start finding funds for high quality security cameras, this after the disturbing bike robbery of a 14-year-old teen at gunpoint Monday. “If we don’t have city parks we can use, we might as well pack up and leave,” Savard, owner of Red Shred’s
Bike and Board Shed, said Tuesday. “Do we keep spending money on planting flowers around town, or are we going to deal with this crime problem?” Williams Lake RCMP released video surveillance footage of the violent robbery Tuesday morning. In it, three suspects watch the boy’s bike and skateboard for several minutes before dispers-
ing briefly. One suspect then reappears and intensely walks across the skateboard park raising a gun and pointing it at the teen. As the one suspect approaches with the gun, the footage shows the other two suspects reappear and assist with the robbery before riding away on the bike. “It is disturbing and upsetting. What else can you say. It’s awful,” said lakecity mayor
Walt Cobb of the crime. In the wake of the news, Cobb said many immediate responses have been discussed; from the city hiring a security guard to do random patrolling, to improving and adding surveillance cameras, increasing police patrols through the park and so on. “We can’t let this escalate. We have to get a handle on it. People are getting afraid to
leave their homes,” said Cobb. “We have a beautiful park here and people are afraid to use it.” In the longer term, Cobb is anxiously awaiting staff to arrive for the pilot project Blue Ribbon Panel on Crime Reduction, promised to the city by the Ministry of Justice. That project, Cobb said, will focus on pulling local agencies together to work on crime and also ensure the pro-
lific offender program is being properly utilized. He said the citizens of Williams Lake can also be a part of the solution. “If our community is really serious about (tackling the crime problem) let’s get behind our RCMP, our community policing and get out and volunteer,” he said. “We can take back our streets if we work together.”
In the meantime, Savard has been accepting donations at his bike shop so the teen victim can get a new bike. He said any funds beyond the cost of a bike will be used towards the purchase of a high quality video surveillance camera for the community. “It’s pretty sad,” said Savard. “I never thought I would ever be talking about this.”
to be some kind of security.” He said this latest bike, which was a red and black $450 MacNeil BMX, is the fourth bike the family has had
stolen. Three others were stolen from the family’s yard and garage. “Now we keep the bikes in the house, with the doors locked.”
Teen’s dad worried about safety in Boitanio Park Continued From Page A1 The dad said his son described the suspects as three First Nations men in their early 20s
who approached the teen in the skateboard park. He said the suspects asked him what he was staring at, then pulled out a handgun, pointed
it at him and said, “I’m taking your bike.” The dad said his son handed over the bike and the suspects fled through the park towards Boston Pizza
while he and his friends went to the nearby detachment to report the crime. The single dad said he’s sad and also worried about what hap-
pened, and suggested kids maybe shouldn’t be at the park without supervision or that surveillance cameras be installed at the park. “I think there needs

Bright Red Bookshelves & Books for Babies are CCPL programs that are made possible with several community partners. Every month CCPL gives out over 350 books.

Unseasonably warm weather has allowed the tick population to get an early jump on the season. “In the last week we have had calls from people concerning ticks on their cattle, horses and dogs,” said Cindy Porter, an animal technician with the Williams Lake Veterinary Hospital. “Especially from people who live along the river, where it’s a little warmer.” Porter said ticks need temperatures to reach 4C to thrive, which of course has been the case in recent weeks. Members of the public are being asked by the government to help document moose winter tick infestations by completing and submitting an online Moose Winter Tick Survey be-
fore April 30, 2016. The survey will help B.C.’s wildlife health staff monitor the number of moose affected with these ticks and the extent to which they affect moose around the province. The Moose Winter Tick Surveillance Program monitors the number of animals with hair loss and the amount of hair loss on each animal to estimate winter tick prevalence and distribution. Tick infestations can sometimes result in severe behavioural and physiological changes and directly impact the survival rates of moose — especially young animals. The survey’s findings will help to inform moose management in B.C. Winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus) can have a significant impact on moose popula-

tions when climate and habitat conditions promote high tick numbers. This type of tick goes through three life stages over the winter on one moose and there can be as many as tens of thousands on one animal. As the ticks mature, they feed on the animal’s blood and can cause anaemia. In late winter, the irritation from ticks causes moose to scratch and groom themselves excessively, resulting in hair loss and less time spent foraging. The extent of hair loss on a moose can be
observed easily from a distance and is a rough indicator of how many ticks are present. Survey participants are asked to observe the amount of hair loss, if any, occurring on moose and check the survey box which most describes the animal — ranging from “no loss” to “ghost” which means hair loss over most of the body or 80 per cent of winter hair. Winter tick infestations are generally observed on moose from February through April. Anyone interested in
contributing to the surveillance program can obtain a copy of the survey online at http:// www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/ download/6AAE0D9D 88A34A7EBD487DC4 FED75E18 or by contacting Dustin Walsh at: FLNRMooseTickSurvey@gov.bc.ca or 250 617-0725.

Tourism operators receive much-needed tax break

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Tourism accommodation providers in rural B.C. will receive a property tax break in 2017, said Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett after the provincial budget was announced. “Effective for the 2017 tax year, tourism operations outside of municipalities will be eligible for a reduction in assessed value of up to $500,000,” said Barnett who has been fighting for the reduction on behalf of tourism operators for six years. Previously operators were eligible for a reduction in assessed value up to $150,000. The reduction amount was never increased while the value of the land did. “It’s become harder and harder for these operators who only open two or three months of the year because they are seasonal,” Barnett said, noting many operators have sold or subdivided because it became to expensive to stay in business.

As the previous founder, developer and president of the Hill’s Health Ranch at 108 Mile, Corbett saw his property taxes skyrocket in 2009 and 2010, he said. At the same time, revenues were crashing and collapsing in the tourism industry across Canada and especially in the Cariboo region. “It was tied directly to the economic col-
lapse that began in September 2008 in the U.S.,” Corbett said. “It was one of the most stunning experiences I have ever had in business where I’ve seen a geographic market completely dry up and go to zero.” Operators across the region saw anywhere from a 20 percent to 40 per cent revenue collapse, Corbett said. “I went to see Donna Barnett in 2010 and told her it was becoming one of the biggest
problems for the survival of the region’s tourism industry,” he recalled. Corbett said many resorts that were along Highway 20 and 24 are note closed and gone. The tax break comes too late for some owners, who have been doubly impacted by cuts to the ferry services at Bel-
la Coola, but will help others who remain in business, Corbett said, noting he sold his own business in 2014. “The facts are if it wasn’t for MLA Barnett and Cariboo Regional District Chair Al Richmond who kept fighting for operators we wouldn’t have got it at all,” he added.

here is so much yapping about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau not keeping his promises, blah blah blah, I found this item on the Internet an interesting change. When UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon visited Ottawa recently, among other events he attended a reception and dinner hosted by the PM at the Grand Hall of the Museum of History. Nothing unusual about that, but along with the invited Ottawa big wigs were young people, Aboriginal people, representatives from environment, international development, mental health organizations and other “people” groups from all across Canada. Diane Beckett, representing the Sierra Club, reported on the event on the Internet. She said everyone mixed and mingled and it was a non-stop “cascade of learning and networking, as well as laughing and fun.” It was the first time many of the civil society representatives French had ever attended Connection an event like this, Diana French and she said “there was an unmistakable sense that the format was about inclusiveness and breaking down barriers.” “The PM is saying that we’re all in this together. Many of the people in the room had never before heard that message from a federal leader.” About time? *** Our society has commercialized every holiday and special day: how come Feb. 29 got missed? It only comes every four years, you’d think there would be more of a fuss about it. *** Premier Christy Clark is blathering on about the “no” people, the environmental and other rag tag groups that, she believes, want to stop all development. Baloney. Maybe she should actually listen to what these people are saying. Few are against development. They simply want mines and pipelines, etc. to be built as safely as possible and operated without seriously damaging the land. Given the history, there is reason to doubt all developers will do this or that governments will make them. Unfortunately the good guys get blamed for the bad guys. There is another element in the mix these days. Some British Columbians worry about the growing number of foreign investors who may not share our concerns for the future generations.

Our Viewpoint
Troubling times As children across our country and province don pink shirts today to try to raise awareness and put a stop to bullying, residents in Williams Lake are still reeling from the violent robbery of a young teen in the Boitanio skateboard park Monday. It’s hard to hear the story, but it’s even more difficult to view the video surveillance footage released by the RCMP Tuesday morning. It is violent and disturbing how the suspects watched their victims before carrying out a cold, calculated attack reminiscent of videos of shootings we see on news programs from around the world. It would appear, clearly, that crime in the lakecity is increasing in number, violence and randomness in recent weeks, leaving many innocent, traumatized vic-

tims in its wake. We believe the shocking robbery on what was a beautiful sunny Monday afternoon deserves an equally portioned response. Take a moment to view the video on our website. Look around your community. If you know who these suspects are, please contact the police and turn them in. We cannot afford to let these violent criminals terrorize our children and rule our streets. Contact city council, and tell them community safety is a top priority and one worth spending our tax dollars on. - Williams Lake Tribune

y promoting and guiding economic growth in our province, we are able to invest $1.6 billion over the next three years into new and increased spending. Some of the significant investments highlighted in Budget 2016 include new and increased services to help families and individuals with their cost of living, as well as measures to bolster and protect rural communities across the province. Communities and residents in CaribooChilcotin will benefit from several initiatives aimed at rural B.C. We are protectMLA ing communities Musings and citizens by setting aside $85 Donna Barnett million to establish a new organization — the Forest Enhancement Society of B.C. — that will work toward wildfire prevention and mitigation through forest fuel management, reforestation and habitat restoration. There is $10 million for the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative for Community Wildfire Protection Plans, fire-smart planning activities and fuel management projects. There will be enhanced property tax relief for those who provide tourist accommodation in our riding. Agriculture is an important economic driver in the Cariboo and Chilcotin. There is a new Farmers’ Food Donation Tax Credit that is worth 25 per cent of qualifying agricultural products donated to a registered charity providing food to those in need or help a school meal plan. And the new three-year, $75-million Rural Dividend program takes effect this year to help rural communities reinvigorate and diversify their economies. For our seniors, we have expanded the Seniors’ Home Renovation Tax Credit is expanded to include persons with disabilities. With this budget, we are able to provide more services and help ease the cost of living for people in the Chilcotin-Cariboo. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

MORE VIEWPOINTS
Grizzly trophy hunting should be banned Editor: Trophy hunting Grizzly Bears in this country is like the old saying: “Give a man a fish and he can eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he can eat the rest of his days.” Why should BCer’s support the relatively rich hunter taking the life of an animal and using it as a wall or floor decoration and petty prestige? Who can see that animal except that hunter’s family and friends? Even they are only seeing a still, stuffed, and skinned remnant and not the full grandeur of this striking animal. So we have a choice to view a
dead animal in very limited circumstances or see a live animal in its true surroundings for years to come by any number of people. Of course, this is only man’s perspective of this. There is the rest of nature that hinges on such decisions. How many people have seen a grizzly in the wild? From my readings, there are anywhere from 6,000 to 15,000 grizzlies in B.C. What is worrisome is that sources comment that the Ministry of Environment really does not have a solid population figure for B.C.’s grizzlies. Regardless, why is there any
hunting permits permitted for these animals? How has it come to this, that 15,000 is a reasonable number of such animals, that any can be spared? This is especially galling, since some of the meat is never eaten. “Hunt a grizzly bear today and one can hang, view, as well as proudly display the dead skin and fur on one’s wall or floor. Leave a grizzly bear to live its life in nature, and that animal can be viewed along with its future descendants, thriving in their magnificence.” Rocco Catalano Williams Lake
Working for justice in mining Editor: I was a mining safety representative for more than 15 years. I have been working in mining since I was 18 years old. Now that I am retired I am seeing a deterioration in the work ethics of employers in the mining industry.

greater role in their own union activities to protect their rights and general well being for themselves and for their families. Find out who represents you and make an effort to attend your union meetings and participate. The resources of any union are limited and there is always much more that unions could do to be even more effective in defending the members’ interests. A union’s power is unleashed when individual members take it upon themselves to pitch in and each does a little something to contribute to the larger effort. No matter what kind of person you are, you have something you can contribute to make your
union stronger. If you have good writing skills you might volunteer to work on the local newsletter. If you have some expertise in health care benefits or health and safety matters, you might volunteer to serve on a committee or help out during negotiations. Everyone has got at least a little time to spare once or twice a month, so why not volunteer to help hand-deliver union literature to your fellow employees. One for all and all for one.

We don’t want the title ‘railway tie burning capital of B.C.’ Editor: I’m reluctantly taking time on a Saturday evening to perform what I consider a civic duty of a responsible citizen: expressing my concerns for the community and the health of its residents, present and future, due to the proposed burning of creosote soaked railway ties by Atlantic Power in their generation facility. The company proposes burning from five per cent to 50 per cent preserved railway ties : 25 per cent ties would amount to 1.2 million ties per year; 50 per
Letters aLways weLcome
cent ties would be 2.4 million annually, although the company states ties burned would comprise 15 to 25 per cent on average of mass burned, 50 per cent would be allowed under the requested permit. Creosote preservative is a derivative of coal tar, and contains known carcinogens: benzene, toluene, phenols, etc. I believe the processing of such railway ties by Atlantic Power — shipping, storing, chipping, burning and disposition of ash residue — would have a deleterious effect on air quality in Williams Lake and area, and
subsequently degrade the health of residents. Both the U.S. and Canada jointly issued a risk assessment advising not burning creosote containing wood because toxic chemicals may be produced in smoke and ash. In 2009 a similar proposal to burn preserved ties was made by a company in Kamloops. This scheme was immediately opposed by a unanimous vote by Kamloops City Council advising the Province to deny the permit. Additionally, there was a groundswell of opposition by the local populace.
Unlike Kamloops Council’s proactive action in defense of that city’s environment, our local Council is expressing benign indifference — leaving all discussion to the Ministry of Environment and avoiding action to protect health of residents. Atlantic Power pays property tax and employees 32 full time employees; an undeniable benefit to our community. However, this company also consumes 35 per cent of our treated, potable water, from an aquifer of finite capacity. The additional environmental degradation by proposed
tie burning is indefensible on a cost-benefit basis, in my view, when compared with the health of 11,000 people. Our health is worth it — we can’t drink or breathe dollars. I humbly suggest that residents take interest in this matter for the sake of their health and that of their children and grandchildren. Our community has periodically been named the crime capital of BC ; let’s not become the railway tie burning capital. John Pickford Williams Lake

Two lives claimed in highway crash Staff Writer Williams Lake Tribune Two people died in a highway crash near McLeese Lake Thursday evening. “With the assistance of the BC Coroners service, our preliminary investigation now shows that investigators have been able to determine that two persons from the passenger vehicle are deceased,” said Cpl. Dave Tyreman, North District RCMP media relations Friday afternoon. “We are still trying to notify the next of kin.” The RCMP were called to the scene at 9:56 p.m., where a passenger vehicle collided with a transport truck and both vehicles burst into flames, said Tyreman. The accident occurred approximately five kilometres north of
McLeese Lake. McLeese Lake Volunteer Fire Department Society President Ian Hicks said his crew received a message about the fiery crash from a local resident who was driving home from Quesnel and came upon the scene. The fire department rushed to the scene with their crew cab, one-ton truck and equipment that it uses in the winter months. “What worked really well was the fire suppressant foam pack that we have,” Hicks said of his crew’s efforts. “It knocked the fire down.” The firefighting truck used has a 1,000 litre water tank and carries water totes in the back that are filled with water retrieved through the ice on McLeese Lake. Names of the victims have not been released.

Bullying creates unwelcome added pain Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer
Jean Beaulieau has suffered with poor vision and hearing problems all of his life. And if these problems were not enough for him to endure, he also suffered the devastation of being bullied as a child. He says he quit school in Grade 10 because he was picked on by other kids for being different and because there weren’t as many supports available for people with vision problems as there are today. “I started smoking and drinking at a very young age because I was told I likely wouldn’t live to be an adult,” Beaulieau says. But he did live, work for many years as a labourer on various ranches and in the bush with various lumber companies, have children, and beat his alcohol demons. Beaulieau was born with a malformation of the skull that required two operations to correct before he was two years of age, plus numerous follow-up treatments. He had two metal plates put in his head, one of which was later removed. Whether his vision and hearing problems are the result of the surgery he is not sure. He can see large shapes at a distance but is extremely nearsighted and needs a high-powered magnifying glass to read the newspaper. He has been clean and sober for 25 years, but in recent years says his vision, hearing and general health has deteriorated to
the point where he can’t work full time. He lives on a disability pension and the small income he makes as a groundskeeper at Cariboo Sunset Manor where he lives. He also enjoys volunteering at the Salvation Army, Indoor Rodeo, and the Williams Lake Harvest Fair. He is also president of the Cariboo White Cane Chapter of the Canadian Council of the Blind. “I can still see to get around without a cane because I am very familiar with Williams Lake,” Beaulieau says. When he doesn’t have a ride somewhere with friends, he uses public transit in Williams Lake but says it is more difficult for him when he takes the bus to visit friends and family in Alberta and other B.C. communities. He can’t read for long periods of time because his eyes begin to shake and water, and one eye or the other will begin to cross when he gets tired. He has various aids to help him such as high powered glasses, talking books, and an adapted phone. “My glasses are very, very expensive so I don’t carry them with me when I go out,” Beaulieau says. He also has to have his head well covered in winter because there is always a danger that the metal plate in his head will cause his brain to freeze. “I can’t be outside too long in winter because if I get carried away doing something I may not realize how cold my head may be getting.”

Jean Beaulieau can only read the newspaper he is holding using a magnifying glass that he must place in such a way that it and his eyes are only an inch or two from the page. He also has hearing loss and says that bullying by other children as he was growing up added to his pain.
Cariboo White Cane an active support group Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Glasses are worn by many, many children and adults to help them see better, but for many people glasses are not enough to give them full access to all the visual wonders of the world. Being legally blind can take many forms from complete darkness to visual problems that prevent people from reading, driving a vehicle or seeing clearly. The Cariboo White Cane Chapter in Williams Lake is part of the Canadian Council of the Blind that was founded in 1944 by blind war veterans to provide assistance, information and support for people with vision disabilities.
Jean Beaulieau is president and Denise Thompson is vicepresident of the local chapter. Beaulieau says the chapter has about 15 members who have varying degrees of blindness. They meet regularly once a month at Baker Manor where some of their more vision impaired members live. They enjoy lunch together, visit and share tips on ways to deal with problems that arise as a result of their visual problems. With the help of sighted volunteers he says they also try to arrange outings for members such as bowling in winter and picnics in summer. Sighted volunteers also help members with transportation to go shopping or to a doctor’s

appointment or perhaps an appointment in Kamloops. He says they also have some Rotary volunteers in Vancouver who will pick people up at the airport, put them up overnight and take them to their appointments. “It is really, really hard to get out in the winter,” Beaulieau says. In conjunction with the Canadian Council of the Blind the local chapter also works to provide information for the public about the many different types of visual impairment people can have, along with resource information. Thompson says that periodically during the year they will set up an information booth in Boitanio Mall or at Safeway or Save-On-Foods..
“I carry a white cane children find interesting and so we talk about it and they like trying it out,” Thompson says. “I have a good time talking to them.” For more information about the Cariboo White Cane Chapter of the Canadian Council of the Blind contact president Jean (John) Beaulieau 250-305-1071; or vice-president Denise Thompson at 250-989-1363 or e-mail payrollmama73@hotmail.com.

the full seven years of the cadet program. Samra joined cadets in January 2009 at the age of 12. He excelled in the program and achieved many medals and awards including his parachute wings at CFB Trenton in Ontario during the summer of 2014. He was also the first cadet from 3064 to travel overseas to Australia last summer. Samra’s future plans are to further his education in Kamloops. As for Pipe Major Sheridan, he too joined cadets at age 12 in 2009; one week after Samra. Sheridan excelled with the bagpipes first learning with the Williams Lake Pipe Band, then through the cadet program. He was awarded the Duke of Edinburgh Award from Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon in 2013, the Lord Strathcona Medal, and was the first cadet from Williams Lake to make the BC Cadet Honour Band in 2013 and 2015. His future plans are to join the Canadian Forces and the New Westminster Police. In closing remarks 3064 Commanding Officer Capt. Mary Craw-

JOIN THE MOVEMENT AGAINST BULLYING ON FEBRUARY 24
Recognizing cyberbullying Before social media became so prevalent, instances of bullying were somewhat easy to recognize. However, with a good majority of children now engaged in digital networking and social media, bullying may not end with the ringing of the school bell, and evidence of bullying may not be so readily apparent. According to Cyberbullying statistics from the i-SAFE foundation, more than half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyberbullying. More than 80 percent of teens use a mobile phone regularly, making it the most popular form of technology and a common medium for repeated cyberbullying. Cyberbullying takes place through electronic technology and differs from traditional forms of bullying. Cyberbullying can occur via text messaging, blogging, updates to social media sites and/or phone conversations. What makes cyberbullying more difficult to detect and remedy than traditional bullying is that sometimes this type of bullying is veiled in secrecy. Those who engage in cyberbullying can create aliases and accounts under false names, allowing them to covertly engage in bullying behavior. As a result, tracking down bullies can be challenging. Although cyberbullying is on
the rise, there are some things that parents and children can do to help put a stop to such unfortunate instances. * Parents who feel their child is not emotionally ready for the responsibility of a digital device can hold back on purchasing a smartphone or choose one with very limited features. Some schools set strict limits on phone usage at school, and children who go only from school to home and vice versa may not have the need for an “emergency phone” that can open up a window for trouble. * Adolescents and teens should feel comfortable talking with their parents without the fear of reprimand. Otherwise, they may hide instances of cyberbullying or not know how to broach sensitive topics like bullying. Parents can engage in conversation with their children often and stress that the doors of communication are always open. * Teens should be made aware that cyberbullying is a very real occurrence and is not just other kids “having fun” or “joking.” If behavior is repetitive and hurtful, it should be made public and addressed. * Parents can monitor and limit their children’s personal accounts.

Some smartphone and tablet applications can be mirrored on the main account, enabling parents to see incoming text or video messages. * A laptop or desktop computer should be placed in a shared space so that usage can be monitored. Parents can restrict tablet or smartphone usage to public areas. * When online, children should be advised not to share personal information. Social media sites may be used by bullies to gather sensitive information about a person that can be used against them at a later time. Children should be urged to keep passwords secret and to never give information such as birthdays, phone numbers and addresses to people who aren’t close friends. Friend lists should be restricted to only those people students interact with frequently to minimize the chance for bullying or other inappropriate behavior. * Teens who have been bullied can keep evidence of the bullying and may benefit from talking with a counselor. Cyberbullying is a growing concern for educators and parents and has far-reaching implications. Getting smart about this phenomenon can help staunch new cases of online bullying.
Adults should remain diligent in monitoring what kids are doing online. Bullying can take place through digital devices, such as mobile phones.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT AGAINST BULLYING ON FEBRUARY 24 Learn the early warning signs of bullying… Children grow and develop their personalities in various ways. While many youngsters are teased or receive some good-natured ribbing at some point in their school careers, some teasing can eventually turn into bullying. The National Education Association estimates that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. Furthermore, more than 70 percent of students report incidents of bullying at their schools. Although children in lower grades have reported being in more fights than those in higher grades, there is a higher rate of violent crimes in middle and high schools than in elementary schools. According to the association Make Beats Not Beat Downs, harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school shooting incidents. Bullying can take many forms, and learning the warning signs as a parent can help prevent harassment and potentially dangerous situations. Verbal: If your child reports being called names, being the recipient of racist, sexist or homophobic jokes, or being spoken to in an
offensive or suggestive way, this can be a form of verbal bullying. Cyber: Social media, email and text messaging has become a way for bullies to spread malicious messages or photos. In the era of digital media, this type of bullying has increased considerably. Physical: Some bullies engage in physical attacks, including hitting, kicking, spitting, or other forms of physical confrontation. Destroying personal property also is considered physical bullying. Indirect: Gossiping and spreading nasty rumours about a person is another form of bullying. This type of bullying may go hand-in-hand with cyber bullying. Signs your child is being bullied Parents can recognize certain signs that their child is being bullied at school. Bullied children frequently make excuses to avoid going to school. While the desire to stay home is something many children may express, those who are bullied may do so much more frequently. Bullied children tend to avoid certain places and may be sad, angry, withdrawn, or depressed.
They may have trouble sleeping or experience changes in appetite, and bullied youngsters’ academic performance may suffer. Also, parents may notice that children return from school missing some of their belongings.
Signs your child is the bully Parents may not want to imagine their children bullying other students, but bullies do exist. Children who bully other kids have strong needs for power and negative dominance. They may find satisfaction in causing suffering to others. Some signs
that your child may be a bully include: • easily becoming violent with others • having friends who bully others • blaming others quickly • comes home with belongings that do not belong to him or her • getting in trouble with teachers or school administrators • picking on siblings • not accepting responsibility for actions There are ways parents can teach their children to act properly when faced with a bully. First, parents

should explain that bullying is not the child’s fault and he or she does not deserve to be picked on. Next, parents can let children know that being assertive but not violent with bullies may diffuse the situation, as some bullies thrive on the fear of their victims. If the bullying behaviour continues, the student should speak to an adult or authority figure. Parents of bullies may need to be especially mindful of their children’s behaviour. Counselling could be necessary to determine what is compelling kids to bully other students.

Alexis Creek School celebrates Pink Shirt Day Alexis Creek Elementary/Secondary School’s custom made pink Tshirts arrived at the school Tuesday. Grade 7 student Leanne Haller opened up the box to take the first look at the school’s 2016 Pink Tshirt design. Leanne created a com-
petition at the school last year in which students designed anti-bullying slogans. The winning slogan is selected for the following year’s T-shirt. Principal Shane Sliziak is proud of Leanne’s idea and is committed to keeping it a
school tradition for many years to come. Today, Wednesday, Feb. 24, on Pink Shirt Day, Sliziak says that all students at the school will wear their new pink shirts and participate in several school-wide activities and projects to celebrate inclusion and acceptance.

school colours. Last year principal Yvonne Davis said each of the classes in the school came up with words that reflect ways of being kind to create a more thoughtful, gentler society. “Instead of antibullying, we have the kindness crusade,” Davis says. The school logo is on the front of the Tshirts. The words reflecting the kindness crusade are written in a circle on the backs of the T-shirts. The circle symbolizes the First Nation’s and School District 27’s learning circle and as a symbol of continuum, suggesting that once kindness begins it spreads, Davis says. Some words are in French while others are in English,
reflecting that Nesika is home-base to the city’s elementary French Immersion program. Words such as: happiness, polite, cheerful, loyalty, helpful, sharing, generous and in French: respectueux, gentil, aimable and more, swim around in the circle which has the bigger words Kindness Crusade and the French version Croisade de la Gentillesse in larger letters at the top and bottom of the circle. Asked what might be done to stop a situation of bullying, Grade 6 student Hope Pilkington said: “First you would try to get them to stop. If they don’t stop, tell an adult. “If they don’t listen to the adult, then the adult might want to tell their parents.”

DIRTY
CAMPAIGN
LAUNDRY
In partnership with
Canadian Mental Health Association
Dirty Laundry campaign works to wash away racism Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Dirty Laundry. Everyone has some dirty laundry that needs washing from time to time. So after splashing around ideas in brainstorming sessions over the past few months it seemed appropriate that Dirty Laundry surfaced as the ideal title for a new anti-racism campaign that is rolling out in the lakecity this week. The campaign is being co-ordinated by the Canadian Mental Health Association Cariboo Chilcotin Branch with the help of a $10,000 grant from the provincial government. “We don’t want this to be a shame and blame campaign,” says Marilyn Livingston, CMHA multiculturalism co-ordinator. “We want to lift up the community.” The idea of the campaign is to educate and engage the community in learning about the causes of racism and what we can all do to make our community a more accepting, tolerant, caring and happy

place in which to live. “We are all products of the cultures and families we grow up in,” adds Margaret-Anne Enders, also a CMHA multiculturalism co-ordinator. “This is an opportunity to learn and become more aware and sensitive to other people and other cultures.” She says the campaign is also an opportunity to examine how people may form opinions about other cultures based on ideas they think are facts but may not actually be facts. “We can do some myth busting without laying blame,” Enders says. Starting now and running into June the Dirty Laundry campaign will include stories and information about racism in the Tribune/Weekend Advisor, on local television and radio stations, as well as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. There will also be posters and displays set up at various public and private buildings around the city. T-shirts (laundry) are also being made up with various words

As part of the campaign the Tribune/Weekend Advisor will include a feature story on this page every two weeks about some aspect of racism. There will be personal accounts from people who have experienced racism as well as from people who have valuable information that others can take to

heart in their own struggles to understand the issue. “I was taught at home when I was young that we are all the same; we are all human,” says Virginia Gilbert, an elder with the Williams Lake Indian Band who will be telling a very interesting story about her time in residential school and going on to become a counsellor who has worked to help rebuild the lives of many First Nation adults and teens who have been impacted by racism.
Last December, CMHA co-ordinators started meeting and holding brainstorming sessions with representatives from about 20 different community organizations which are supporting the campaign and now form part of the new Cariboo Chilcotin Racism Awareness Network, explains Livingston. She notes the Dirty Laundry campaign has the support of School District 27, Thompson Rivers University, Cari-

hardship, celebration, love, and resilience with more than 100 traditional family recipes from around the world and here at home. “This time we want to work around celebrating diversity and helping people to understand that we are all stronger when we embrace other people’s cultures and differences,” Livingston says. “Racism is sometimes not intentional. People are just not aware that what they say is offensive to other people.” In their research she says they found that Australia is doing a considerable amount of work to stem racism and provides the following quote from the Australian research that sums up the damaging effects racism can have on a community and a country. “Racism can have serious consequences for the people who experience it. “It can shatter their confidence and their sense of worth. “It can undermine their ability to perform at work or in their studies. It can also affect their physical health and life expectancy. “More broadly, racism locks people out of social and economic opportunities, entrenching disadvantage. “It adds unnecessary costs to our workplaces and our economy and it works against our goal of building a fair, inclusive community. Ultimately, racism hurts us all.” Source: Australian Human Rights Commission, National AntiRacism Strategy: July 2012.

Don’t be fooled by the lack of snow in the valley. Mt. Timothy Ski Area is still a winter wonderland, said mountain operations manager Morgan Day. “Conditions are awesome,” Day said. “Last weekend was honestly the best weekend of the season as far as conditions go. We got some more snow Sunday night and last week we had just over a foot of brand new snow. There’s tons of powder riding and we had great weather over the weekend.” Currently sitting on a 160 centimetre base, there’s still plenty of riding to be had this ski season. “Everyone gets thrown off by the no snow in town but as long as people call the snow phone or check us on Facebook they can see we have tons of snow,” he said. The ski area did experience a slight setback two weeks ago when both of its groomers broke down and parts for maintenance needed to be ordered. “Both machines

have been fixed,” he said. The hill also recently opted into an interesting international consortium of community and independent ski areas, Day said, known as the Mountain Playground Group. Facilitated by the U.S.-based Mountain Rider’s Alliance (MRA), participating ski areas will band together to increase skier visits and share best practice and marketing strategies. “They’re mostly comprised of small ski areas, like Mt. Timothy,” Day said. “It’s a group teaming up together to help each other in different areas like marketing and web design. A lot of small areas don’t have budgets to do a lot in those types of areas at the same magnitude as the large ski areas.” The MRA has a large group of volunteers within the alliance who donate their time providing advice in those key areas. They also host regular roundtable discussions via conference call where participating ski areas discuss various mountain and industry practices. “It’s a pretty cool

Timothy Ski Area will host a rail
jam this weekend and has several events lined up for March and over spring break, including another day of 50 per cent off lift passes, plus a retro day and more. “For the younger kids we’re going to be getting our terrain park going hopefully by the end of the month,” he said. Mt. Timothy Ski Area is open Wednesday through Sunday this week.

Moleschi said she’s proud of her teammates and their effort during the weekend, despite the tough loss to Australia in the final. “Finishing second was a huge step up from Dubai and one we are pleased with,” Moleschi said. “We spent a lot of time studying our opponents and setting a solid game plan in regards to each team individually. With this and the composure on defence we kept during games we were able to create success in shutting teams down and allowing our attack to unfold.” See MOLESCHI Page A27
Stampeders advance to CIHL playoff final Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Hockey fans will get their last chance to see the Williams Lake Stampeders on home ice this season Saturday night when
they face the Smithers Steelheads in game one of the Central Interior Hockey League playoff final. Williams Lake defeated the Quesnel Kangaroos 6-5 in overtime in game four
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Williams Lake
THANK YOU
of the CIHL East Division final to earn the opportunity to play for a playoff title and a berth in the Coy Cup senior men’s ‘AA’ provincial championship. The Steelheads, meanwhile, knocked off the Terrace River kings in double overtime in game three of their series to advance. “It should be a good series,” said Stampeders president Marko Zurak. “They’ve got a couple of really good players but I think
we’re going to be evenly matched. I think we matchup really good with everybody right now.” On Saturday in Quesnel Williams Lake took a 2-1 lead heading into the second period with goals from Caleb Roy and Matt Stang. Matt Lees and Kaleb Boyle lifted the Stampeders to a 4-3 lead after two, before Stang gave Williams Lake a 5-3 lead midway through the third. “When we were up
5-3 we got into a bit of penalty trouble and they tied it up on us and sent it to overtime,” Zurak said. There, Lees provided the heroics in the 6-5 victory. Game one of the CIHL final takes place this Saturday, Feb. 27 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. It will be the Stampeders last home game of the season as game two and, if necessary, game three go the following weekend in Smithers.

People may ask if we regret the fact that our mother is no longer around to give us advice. Like everyone else who has lost a parent, we miss our mom a lot, but not in this regard. We enjoyed close, deep relationships. For our entire lives, she has shared with us her values, her perspective and her passion, while teaching us to be rational, responsible and respectful. Because of that, we feel we need only listen deep within ourselves to hear her voice in almost any situation. She’s always with us in spirit, and her spirit is always encouraging.
Brush,
Helen Elizabeth 1924-2016 It is with sadness that the family of Helen Brush wish to announce her peacefully passing at home on February 16, 2016. Helen was predeceased by her husband Ken Brush in 2003. She leaves her daughters; Joan Staib (Kurt), Carol Call and grandchildren; Roy Call (Kelly), Earl Call (Kat), Gene Caligari (Gregg), Greg Caligari (Jennifer), Jerry Caligari (Amanda), 6 greatgrandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. Helen and Ken immigrated to Canada in 1961 from Northern California. They loved their home at the YS Ranch on the HorseĂ€y Road and lived there until retiring in 19 9 when they moved to Borland Valley. Helen spent several years after Ken’s death at the Seniors Village where she was very happy but a fall made it necessary for her to move back and live with Basil and Carol on the YS again. She spent the next 6 years there surrounded by her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Thanks go to her “home supportâ€? gals, Holly and Cheri. Rest in peace Mom.

SPORTS Third and deciding CAHA playoff game goes Saturday The Williams Lake Midget Boys Timberwolves were in Prince George during the weekend and came home with a two-game split in the best-ofthree Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association championship series. A third and deciding game takes place
in Williams Lake this weekend. Although both teams have already qualified for the provincial championships, bragging rights and a league championship banner are on the line. The final game goes at 2:15 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 27 in rink one at
the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Game one on the weekend ended in a 6-5 victory for the Twolves. Cody Swan had a big game netting three goals and adding two assists, while Dayton Long, Spencer Neufeld and Lane Wycotte added singles.
Hayden Lyons was in goal for the win. In game two the Twolves came out flat and fell behind early and could never catch up. The game ended in an 8-2 win for Prince George. Long and Wycotte scored for Williams Lake in the losing effort.
Moleschi proud of historic moment Continued From Page A22 She said beating New Zealand was definitely the highlight of the tournament. “We knew what we had to do stepping out onto the field and that was to starve them of ball possession and punish them on attack, and we did just that,” she said. “That feeling at the end of the game was such a huge accomplishment. To make history with this team with our win against New Zealand is a moment in my life that I will remember forever and cherish always. “I’m beyond stoked with this historic moment for this team and women’s rugby.” Canadian head coach John Tait said it was extremely important to

who we have or don’t have in our lineup right now we can compete and win tough games when we execute as a team. The girls dug deep but came up a little short so we will be hungry to go one better in Atlanta and Langford in April.”
