City bumps up surveillance camera program Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer More surveillance cameras to catch criminals and prevent crime will be going up around the city starting this year. Williams Lake city council committed to a new project with the Williams Lake Central Business Improvement Association (BIA) to purchase 32 high-resolution surveillance cameras for the city over
the next few years. The move came at Tuesday’s city council meeting and was in direct response to a violent crime in the Boitanio Park skateboard park Monday afternoon in which a 14-year-old boy was robbed of his BMX bike at gunpoint. Finance chair Coun. Scott Nelson said the total project will cost about $150,000 rolled out in contributions from the city of $25,000 per year starting this year and each
year thereafter until all 32 cameras are in place. Council gave early 2016 budget approval to contribute $10,000 toward the cost of upgrading the BIA’s security camera computer system and $15,000 toward the purchase of additional high resolution surveillance cameras. “It is a significant amount of money but we believe the cameras will be a significant tool for the RCMP to help reduce crime in the
city and catch criminals,” Nelson says. If the purchase price on the cameras holds, Jan Hermiston, the BIA’s surveillance camera committee chair, said they hope to have four new cameras in place by the end of the year. The BIA currently has four cameras in the downtown core. See NEW Page A3

Leaders discuss moving forward after robbery Angie Mindus Staff Writer Williams Lake RCMP Insp. Milo MacDonald considers city council’s swift decision this
week to upgrade video surveillance cameras around the city welcomed news. “It’s a valuable initiative and it means a lot to us in our ability to solve crimes,”
MacDonald said of the camera upgrades. Although he doesn’t believe that current laws exist to support council’s controversial bid to trace criminals using GPS tracking chips, he does appreciate
New cameras to be operated remotely Continued From Page A1 “From what we have been hearing on the street the plan is being well received,” Hermiston said. “People want a safer city and we are thrilled that city council is backing this program.” Nelson explained that the city also has a number of surveillance cameras in place to monitor city-owned properties. Over the long term, he said the partnership with the BIA will see surveillance cameras operating in key areas all over the city.

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer
The new cameras being purchased are operated remotely so there are no electrical wires for criminals to cut, Nelson says. The cameras are also made of high impact material that is difficult to damage and they will produce high resolution images. “We will be able to see the whites of the criminal’s eyes,” Nelson added. “We are pushing full steam ahead with this project.” Nelson says the program also includes signage to advise the public where they may be under surveillance.
If Williams Lake city council has its way, prolific and high risk offenders will be subject to GPS tracking, which Coun. Scott Nelson said following Tuesday’s meeting will include a call for GPS injectable chips. The resolution endorsed by council at its regular meeting supports GPS tracking on prolific and repeat offenders who are considered risks to their communities. The resolution will be sent to the North Central Local Government Association

which is showing great success in other communities. That program will see various agencies pull together to deal with high risk individuals on a case-bycase basis. “It is not reinvent-
ing the wheel but it is very effective. The idea is to get the cases while they are acute and manage them collaboratively,” he said, adding the program should be up and running by the fall.

(NCLGA) and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM). The move to get a handle on the city’s crime problems follows the latest violent crime committed in the city Monday when a teen was robbed of his BMX at gunpoint in the Boitanio Park skateboard park. Mayor Walt Cobb and city councillors said GPS tracking will give police more tools to fight crime in this and other cities. In an interview following the meeting Cobb said Monday’s robbery was the fourth major incident in the
city since January. “We’ve had enough,” Cobb said. “We’ve talked about it and it is time that talking quit and action started … I think we have to start moving. It is time. We can’t continue to sit back and let these guys ruin our community.” City finance chair Coun. Scott Nelson said a lot of time and money has been spent trying to keep track of a small, core group of criminals who are terrorizing the community and using injection style GPS trackers would give police a tool to track this core group of criminals at
AN APPLE A DAY... The use of cigarettes rose dramatically during WWI and it was accompanied with an upsurge of lung cancer cases in the 1930’s as a result. Lung cancer was a rarity before 1900 but with mechanization of manufacturing and mass marketing, the use of cigarettes skyrocketed. Lung cancer became an epidemic in the 1940’s and 1950’s but it wasn’t until the 1960’s that it became official: smoking causes lung cancer.
all times, until they straighten up. “We believe the collective rights of a community supersede the individual rights of prolific offenders and high risk offenders,” Nelson said. Asked if the use injection style GPS tracking chips would pass the muster of human rights court challenges in Canada, Nelson responded: “If you try nothing you are going to get nothing.” Nelson said bracelet-style GPS tracking devices are not good enough to keep track of prolific and high risk offenders because
they can be more easily removed than a chip imbedded under the skin. He said the injected style of GPS devices have been used successfully to track prolific offenders in some U.S. cities since 2000. At the moment, he said Williams Lake has 12 to 15 prolific offenders and another 30 to 40 high risk offenders who are known to commit 80 per cent of the crimes. “There is a time right now where I think that in people’s eyes they want to see real change, not talk about change but real change,” Nelson said.

The term alcohol use disorder is becoming more common today. It describes problem drinking that can interfere with work and relationships as well as increasing the risk of various diseases affecting the heart, liver, blood pressure and is implicated in cancer and some mental conditions. This disorder is on the rise and is denied as a problem with most users of excess alcohol. Reading those nutrition values on food labels can be confusing at times. Certain nutrients are listed as a percentage of daily value. If this value is 5%, it doesn’t have much nutritional value. Of course if the nutrient is fat, you want that as low as possible. For other nutrients look for those that have at least 15%. For some nutrients like fibre, calcium, iron and vitamins A and C, 25% is better. Epilepsy is a seizure disorder affecting the temporal lobe of the brain. This is the same area of the brain that processes music. Tests using a Mozart sonata and a John Coltrane jazz piece found greater reactions in the brains of all epileptics as opposed to nonepileptics. Music might become another tool in treating epilepsy.

TIPS FROM THE CRD
Gel Fuel Safety
Gel fuel is used with fire pots, personal fireplaces, and patio torches. These devices can create a warm, cozy environment. However, they should be considered an open flame and extreme caution is necessary when using or adding fuel.
• • • • • • • • • • •
SAFETY TIPS
Never leave a lit fire pot, personal fireplace or patio torch unattended. Keep these devices at least one foot from anything that can burn. Place the fire pot or personal fireplace on a sturdy surface. Make sure patio torches are secure and not in the path of people or pets. Keep children and pets at least 3 feet away. These devices will be hot during and after burning, do not touch or move. Be careful reaching over the device because clothing or hair could catch fire. Use only gel fuel to refuel. Never substitute another kind of fuel. Citronella gel fuel is intended for outdoor use only. Allow the device to cool for 30–45 minutes before refueling. Pouring gel fuel in a device that is not completely cool may result in a fire or injury.
HANDLE WITH CARE!
Keep your face away from the device when refueling. If gel fuel is spilled on clothing, remove the clothing and launder immediately. Store the gel fuel in its tightly sealed original container; away from heat sources and out of the reach of children and pets. Sponsored by

His hope is that businesses will match the public donations in order to create a new feature in the skateboard park. “Users of the park have been asking for upgrades for the last 20 years but there’s never been any money,” Savard said.

He also plans to explore tech options to improve teen safety, such as a phone app which can act as a panic button in an emergency. “We need to take back our community so that we can all live healthy lifestyles safely,” he said. “I want the kids to be safe when they are out in the world enjoying life.” Savard said he is also willing to donate the use of bikes out of his own fleet so community policing volunteers can be out on patrol. “Whatever it takes, I’m willing to do.” So far more than $1,700 in donations have been dropped off at Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed in support of the teenage victim.

The maximum penalties will be raised from the current $100,000 and/or up to one year imprisonment to $1 million and/ or up to three years imprisonment.

Remaining recommendations from the independent panel and the chief inspector of mines are being addressed through the ongoing review of the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia. The tailings storage facility portion of the Code Review is expected to be completed in this spring, and revisions could be legally in force by mid-2016. Government will also work with industry and professional organizations to ensure recommendations directed at them are implemented. It is anticipated this work will be completed by spring 2017. “(The amendments) are just one part of a series of things we’ve done since the accident,” Bennett said. “But I think it will take a long time for the public to get over what happened at Mount Polley.”

Spring is in the air, the lawns are bare, trees are beginning to leaf out this is the time of year that people really get the itch to move. To make your property even more inviting, be sure to spruce up the outside. A clean, homey look helps to invite your potential buyers. Once inside, they should be greeted by a home that is CLEAN and free of excess clutter, family photos, and near empty closets!! Touch up paint, clean carpets, do repairs and generally get your house ready to sell.

independent panel’s recommendation to improve corporate governance, the Mining Association of Canada (MAC) last year initiated an independent, multi-stakeholder expert task force review of its tailings management requirements and guidance documents under its Towards Sustainable Mining program. Last December, MAC released the final report from this task force and is working to implement its recommendations. The Province also committed to implement a new requirement that all operating mines with TSFs in British Columbia establish Independent Tailings Dam Review Boards. This is being addressed as part of the ongoing code review. These boards will support improved engineering practices by providing third-party advice on the design, construction, operation

In addition, last January, in response to the independent panel’s recommendation to strengthen current regulatory operations, the chief inspector of mines ordered mines to confirm whether foundation materials similar to those at Mount Polley exist below any of their dams. This work was completed in June and no immediate risks or safety concerns were identified. As well, the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia (APEGBC) is developing new guidelines to improve professional engineering practices for dam site characterization assessments.

Mines minister Bill Bennett said being able to levy financial penalties against non-compliant mining companies will strengthen government’s regulatory oversight of the industry. “It’s going to give us much more flexibility,” Bennett told The Tribune/Weekend Advisor Thursday after he introduced amendments to the Mines Act. He said the changes proposed will enable government to include administrative monetary penalties as an additional compliance and enforcement tool under the Mines Act. Currently, compliance and enforcement tools under the act are limited to shutting down a mine through the cancellation of a permit, issuance of a stop-work order, or pursuing prosecutions. Administrative monetary penalties can be imposed for contraventions without involving the courts. This type of penalty is already used by other ministries and has proven to be an efficient and effective com-
nett said the ministry now can oversee and encourage best practises through monetary penalties. He said non-compliance can be anything from too much dust on a mine site to discharges into the environment. “I hope the mining industry really gets the profound significance and importance of what happened at Mount Polley so that is never happens again.” Bennett said the amendments are part of government’s ongoing actions to implement the 26 recommendations of the independent panel and the chief inspector of mines following their respective investigations into the tailings storage facility (TSF) failure at Mount Polley. Work to implement a number of these recommendations is either substantially underway or complete, including improving corporate governance, improving professional engineering practices and strengthening current regulatory operations. Immediately following the failure at Mount Polley, the chief inspec-

Variable fares could be a fix Ferry fares are going to start bobbing up and down, and there’s a possibility passengers could be better served because of it. B.C. Ferries is planning to roll out variable pricing, with the most expensive fares at peak hours and discounted fares on the least-popular crossings. The intention is to try to fill up some of the emptier, money-losing trips, with the added benefit of potentially relieving pressure elsewhere on the sailing schedule. It’s a tried-and-true model used by other types of transportation companies, such as airlines, which would go out of business in a hurry if they sent half-full jumbo jets flying around the globe. Good business practice at B.C. Ferries matters to British Columbians who subsidize the
corporation. Dollars and cents can’t always be the primary consideration — ferries are an essential transportation link and must provide a service — but any relief from subsidies and fare increases will be appreciated, now and in the future. A new fare model is likely to benefit both Island and mainland residents who understand ferry ridership patterns and plan their travel accordingly, avoiding the worst of the longweekend lineups. Some commuters, unfortunately, will get dinged by the variable fare scheme. If B.C. Ferries can find better ways to make its service efficient, affordable and sustainable, then hey, that floats our boat.

The game is similar to Jeopardy where players choose the amount of money they want to spend and answer the hidden questions behind the number. Questions are on all aspects of bullying, such as impacts of bullying, cyber bullying, physical bullying, and ways to stop bullying. The one who wins the most play money in the game wins a prize. “It is another way to get the information out in a fun way,” Wells says.

The view from 30,000 feet above sea level “From desert into desert” was my thought as we flew out of the Los Angeles airport the other day on our flight to Zihuatanejo, Mexico. I was looking down at the farming area trying to get an estimate of what percentage of what have been fields but which now are the colour of the surrounding sand. Ninety-five per cent would be low. It is frightening. In a batch of the big circles, which denote the area covered by the pivot irrigation, there might be one that is green. News of California’s continuing drought is nothing new, however, seeing what was desert before extensive irrigation now looking like the surrounding desert is dramatic.

In some areas even the farm roads seem to have disappeared with the drifting of sand. I hesitate to call the sand “soil,” even though it is a medium of growth. Without water nothing is growing. The news a few weeks ago indicated heavy rains there.
Four more months of storms would be needed to rid the state of drought. The affected area of the state in drought was reduced by 2.2 per cent down to 42.7 per cent. State wide reservoirs are at 30 per cent. What does this mean for us in B.C.? It could mean even higher prices for produce. We can be sure if the price of cheap imports goes up so does the price for local products. Now that might be good for farmers in B.C. It also means that our savings by feeding ourselves by our own green thumbs will relatively greater. It will pay off to produce our own cauliflower and freeze it for year round use. Seeing dry riverbeds from the
air in California reminds me of flying south over the east coast of China where every bit of huge river deltas was shining with standing water irrigating crops. But hardly a drop of the river reached the ocean. In Asia, 85 per cent of the river water is used by farmers. In California 80 per cent of surface water is use for irrigation. And, the Nile River in Northern Africa loses 90 per cent of its water for crops. If we are maxed out on the watering side the world over, then conservation of water use is a must. One way is to ensure that the soils we are stewarding are nutrient dense, that is, have all the nutrients that plants need in sufficient abundance that the plants can close the stomata on the un-
derside of their leaves and stop transpiring (water) in an effort to get the last of the nutrients they need for growth. Even when if they have most of what they need, they will still pump water (through transpiration) trying to draw up through their vascular system those remaining nutrients they need. So, nutrient rich soil including all the micronutrients that plants need, is a help to conserve water. Lets go there before we divert more water, which will raise the cost of food.

Time to take MSP off life support The B.C. Liberal government made a big show of selectively easing Medical Services Plan fees in its budget for the coming election year. In what is becoming a pattern for Premier Christy Clark, the biggest beneficiaries are single parents. The new MSP is calculated for adults only, so a single parent with two children saves as much as $1,200 a year. Premium assistance is expanded, with discounts for single people making up to $42,000, rather than $30,000. But for singles, couples and seniors who don’t qualify for discounts, the rate is going up another four per cent effective Jan. 1, 2017. Indeed, with population growth, the finance ministry expects its take from MSP premiums to rise every year, reaching $2.5 billion in the coming years. MSP revenue covers about 17 per cent of B.C.’s health budget, and Clark and Finance Minister Mike de Jong insist that Canada’s only direct health care charge is a vital signal to people that health care isn’t free. This argument has failed. One seldom-discussed fact is that for half of the people charged MSP, it’s paid by their employers. In private sector terms it’s a hefty payroll tax, creating one more obstacle for businesses to hire fulltime staff with benefits. So most full-time employees don’t receive this supposedly vital signal, unless they get laid off because their employer is losing money.
B.C. Views
with Tom Fletcher
Also note that politicians and public sector employees have never paid MSP premiums. Their employers, taxpayers, pick up the tab for them. People who have to pay out of pocket are what the bureaucracy calls “pay direct accounts.” Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation recently revealed that nearly 400,000 of these accounts are currently in arrears by more than 30 days, owing a grand total of $457 million. Of course this is Canada, so even if you haven’t paid or even registered for MSP, you still get treatment at the hospital. Another potential signal lost in the noise. For people who lose their jobs, MSP is like being kicked when they are down. Their employer stops paying, and the slow-moving bureaucracy charges them based on their income from the previous year. There was a fuss in 2004 after the B.C. Liberals contracted out MSP administration to a Virginia-based
back-office specialist, delightfully named Maximus Corporation. Now Maximus goes after delinquent MSP accounts with collection agency tactics, and attempts to keep up with the comings and goings from other provinces and countries. Opposition parties decry the continued inequity of the MSP premium system, which charges the same for a single person making $45,000 or $450,000 a year. NDP leader John Horgan rails about inequality and accuses Clark of using MSP revenues to establish
her prosperity “slush fund,” but he stops short of calling for the elimination of MSP premiums. One would expect the NDP to lead another “axe the tax” campaign, as they did with the carbon tax and the HST, but they aren’t. Perhaps this is because workers for this unnecessary Maximus machine remain members of the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union. Green Party leader Andrew Weaver has it right. He staged a popular petition drive to roll MSP premiums into income tax. If the
government wants to send a message, it can interrupt its continuous “Jobs Plan” advertising. Scrapping MSP and raising income tax rates on higher brackets to compensate would fix the private sector payroll deterrent, make salaried employees (including me) pay their share, and end a tax break for the wealthy. Don’t hold your breath. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Email: tfletcher@blackpress. ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc
BACK FOR SPRING

‘Somewhat’ higher levels of rail tie ash not an acceptable description Rail tie ash and lack of science should be of a concern to everyone. The Atlantic Power response to the question about the difference between the pollutant levels in the rail tie ash compared to the ash from burning regular hog fuel was as follows: “the pollutant levels in the ash from rail ties, although “somewhat higher” than from traditional fuel sources are still within BC Regulations.” The dioxan/ furan results from the April 2001 Trial Burn, Table 8 titled “Fuel and Ash Summary Analytical Data” are presented below: Regular Ash (23.8 pg/g dioxins/ furans); Rail tie Ash (100 per cent ties — 788 pg/g dioxins/furans). Assuming a 50 per cent reduction in dioxins/furan levels if 50 per cent rail ties were burned: 788/2=394 pg/g. Then (394-23.8)/23.8 x 100 = 1,555.5 per cent more dioxins/furans present in the 50 per cent rail tie ash than ash from regular hog
Forest Ink Jim Hilton fuel. A one or two per cent change in my bank interest I consider somewhat higher but never would I call a 1,500 per cent increase “somewhat” higher. If the thousands (millions ?) of tons of fly and bottom ash produced by the plant since 1993 were placed back on the forest land where it originated it might not be a problem. When it is stored above a river so close to a city it becomes a liability and a danger. If the plan is considering adding ash which is thousands of per cent more toxic to the already unacceptable situation, then terms like “somewhat” are not adequate to describe the
potential risk to the town. In response to a question about dealing with this “somewhat” more toxic ash component the response was rather vague: “They will continue to operate in accordance with the currently approved plan.” Rodger Hamilton makes the following comments in a note on the rail issue. “The current ash landfill is situated on a lacustrine bench immediately above the Williams Lake river about five kilometres northwest from downtown Williams Lake; it appears to be close to full and I am unaware of any proposals for situating a new replacement landfill. I have also observed extreme dusting events blowing towards the downtown area during periods of high winds from the northwest. Ash disposal is an important long term liability and it deserves attention during this application review process.” When a local politician was
asked why they supported the application by Atlantic Power the response was they believed in the science. I don’t consider myself an expert but I do have some post graduate course work on computer modelling from UBC and the following is my quick summary of the science. The April 2001 stack survey during the 100 per cent rail tie burn was conducted over three days during which three one hour tests were completed to measure contaminants discharged from the stack; the average of these three one hour tests constitutes one survey data point. It would take a lot more measurements over a variety of burn conditions to get adequate data for any model. Calibration and testing of any model requires a way of monitoring the predicted outcomes which would also take sophisticated monitoring systems throughout the air shed at many locations and differences in eleva-
tions throughout the variable atmospheric conditions in the valley. I have lived and worked in the valley since 1974 and was able to witness the inversions that take place throughout the year compared to the conditions from my home outside of the valley air shed. According to the RWDI study, our air shed is already predicted to exhibit 82 per cent of the BC Air Quality Objective for PM2.5 ; the handling and burning of up to four million rail ties per year over the next decade is not something to consider at this time or any other especially when we have a much cleaner source of fibre available most of which is being burned in the field. Jim Hilton is a professional agrologist and forester who has lived and worked in the Cariboo Chilcotin for the past 40 years. Now retired, Hilton still volunteers his skills with local community forests organizations.

Central Cariboo Arts Centre survey up and running Brandon Hoffman Special to Tribune/Advisor The 2016 Arts Centre user survey is now up and running, at centralcaribooarts. com. The Central Cariboo Arts Centre has been in full swing since 2010. This was when the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society (CCACS) took charge of the building on behalf of the City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional District. The Arts Centre provides a home to the Cariboo Arts Society, Williams Lake
Spinners, Weavers, and Fibre Artists Guild, and the Cariboo Potters’ Guild, and offers two great rental spaces for events in the heart of Williams Lake. Earlier this year the Community Arts Council of Williams Lake moved their office into the Arts Centre, further solidifying this funky old building as the central nervous system of Arts and Culture in the Cariboo. In 2014 we launched our first official Arts Centre user survey, and the public participation was fantastic.
The wealth of information gained in the process gave us terrific insights into what was working smoothly at the Arts Centre, and more importantly, what areas needed attention. The Central Cariboo Arts Centre is a truly unique facility, so feedback from our community is the strongest resource we have to make sure we’re on track. The time has come that we reach out to the public again, to help ensure the Arts Centre is operating as smoothly as possible. Those who belong to our tenant groups,
have rented the space for events, or have attended events at the Arts Centre are encouraged to fill out this quick five minute survey. Following suggestions from our tenant groups, we have chosen to conduct the 2016 survey with the help of an outside party. We are pleased that Paul Gravett Consulting will be facilitating the process, and hope his assistance will help us stay as objective as possible. It’s been years in the making, but we’re slowly getting past one of our greatest
hurdles. Through years of nagging at our tenant groups and renters, we are finally starting to shed the label of “the old fire hall.” This term, as tempting as it may be, (who are we kidding, there’s an antique firetruck parked in front of the building!) brings much confusion to our clientele, as well as the current, actual firehall. We are thankful that the community is finally getting to know us by our real name, or in it’s short form, as the Arts Centre. Once again, the

If you answered that you see a bit of ‘God’… well, let’s face it, you might sound a little crazy… but you would be fairly close to the truth. Now, all you children of Abraham, there is no need to worry. This article is not promoting any New Age, pantheistic eastern view of human divinity. There is only one God. This author does not believe that we are gods, or that we are becoming gods, or that we carry the divine spark or a piece of God within us. We are flesh and blood, dust-todust creatures. But let’s just talk honestly for a moment about Genesis 1:27 (NKJV) “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” This one sentence gave rise historically to one of
PARSONS PEN
BY JEREMY VOGT the most profound value statements ever about humankind. In fancy Latin theologians talk about Imago Dei. In plain English-according to the Genesis story human beings did not evolve randomly. Rather, we were intentionally created to reflect the likeness of our Creator. We were made by God in the image of God to remind the world what God is like. Let that sink in. When someone spends time with you, they are meant to be reminded of God. When you drive down the street and see that person crossing at the light, God’s intention was that your heart would leap to
worship God and remember Him. This divine intention is true of every single human being on earth regardless of ethnicity, language, gender, age, physical condition or social standing. The prisoner, the infant, the homeless, and the corporate executive were all meant to SHINE in a way that points to the goodness, beauty, power and creativity of the living God. God’s intention in the Imago Dei is the great equalizer. You, your neighbor and even the last person you despised are all of immense, incalculable value from a divine perspective. You matter. There is however, a major problem. Our ability to reflect God as He intended has been warped and broken. Perhaps you recognize this tragedy as you look honestly at the mess our world is in. Perhaps you even recognize the loss of Imago Dei when you look honestly at your own life. There is an answer to this problem. We can shine as we were meant to. The answer is a person who shone God’s likeness untarnished. He gave his life so that you could shine again. His name is Jesus and He’s waiting for you to call Him your Leader, your Friend and your Healer right now.

tional healer Catherine Haller. Daveed Faubert presented the ceremonial teachings; Bruce
Baptiste taught archery, Paul Grinder taught gun safety and target shooting; Jimmy Lulua taught survival techniques and Blaine Grinder taught trapping and skinning techniques. A crime prevention workshop was held for children and youth with motivational speaker Johnny Mattice and Constable Shelley Visser. Darlene McIntosh did energy healing work with people and Perry Alexander taught hoop dancing. In a special ceremony Catherine Haller from Xeni Gwetin presented Mattice with a feather fan and an eagle whistle in honour of his contributions to the community as a role model, Stump said. After spending many years behind bars Mattice really turned his life around and became a role
model for the community, proof that it can be done, she said. “Everyone needs to recognize the successful people and acknowledge the people who are productive members of our community and not only focus on the bad incidents,” Stump said. The eagle whistle and feathered fan were made by Federal Corrections inmates at Activators Society and Aghelh Nebun in Prince George, she said. Constable Visser was presented with the gift of a beaded feather and a drum. Many door prizes such as gift cards and swimming, bowling and movie passes were also given out to participants. “We were very happy the community quickly offered donations when they heard about our wellness days,” Stump said.

COMMUNITY EDUCATION DISCUSSIONS The Board of Education invites organizations and members of the public to an Education Discussion. Three topics of conversation will be addressed: 1. Development of a Board level Strategic Plan a. What do you remember as the best learning experience you had in (or out of) school? b. What is the School District doing well? c. What opportunities, that are not currently in place, do you see as valuable for students? 2. Rural Education: What is working? What can we do better? And any other comments? 3. School Trustee Electoral Boundaries: review 3 options to realign Trustee Electoral Zones (currently there are seven in the District) and also the impacts of mail-in ballots and reducing the number of polling stations. The 3 options (which do not alter the number of trustees) are: i. Maintain 7 zones and conform to CRD boundaries (mostly affecting the City and fringe of Williams Lake). ii. Reduce to 3 zones with elections at large: 100 Mile House area (3 trustees); Williams Lake area (3 trustees), Rural (west and east) (1 trustee. iii.

Move prompts House Hunters International spotlight Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer This month’s departure of a Williams Lake couple is the region’s loss and Roatán’s gain. Recently the Cariboo Regional District manager of communications Shelly Burich and her husband Mic sold their home, quit their jobs and left for a new life in Honduras. They headed out by vehicle last week with their canine pals Molly, Paige and Willy in toe. Their belongings went ahead of them in a shipping container the week before. For just over 10 years the Buriches called the Cariboo home, after moving here from the Lower Mainland where Mic grew up. Shelly is originally from Oakville, Ont., and was a third-generation professional horse jumper. Last November her father Doug Hood was posthumously inducted into the Ontario Equestrian Federation’s Jump Canada Hall of Fame in the category of coach. Both Shelly and Mic loved their work in the Cariboo, but the warmer climates of places they travelled began beckoning them as time went on. “We’ve been vacationing off and on in the Caribbean for 14 years,” Shelly said one Friday morning as the couple took a break from packing boxes for the move. “Seven years ago we began researching the laws about maintaining our Canadian citizenship if we wanted to leave the country.” Then two years ago they vacationed in Honduras for the first time and were hooked. “Hondurans are amazing,” Shelly said. “It is about 80 degrees there all year round, and we are located below the hurricane belt.” Eventually they connected with a real estate agent in Roatán named Edward du Monceaux. Originally from White Rock, B.C., he moved to Roatán permanently in 2003. Monceaux knew the Buriches were interested in moving to Roatán so when he heard someone

Shelly and Mic Burich along with their dogs Paige (black and white Jack Russell), Willy (white hair Jack Russell) and Molly (Doberman) get ready to move to Roatan from the Williams Lake area. was selling a 10 year old Balinese-style home, he contacted Shelly and Mic. “It has lots of wood, vaulted ceilings, a huge deck and a splash pool,” Mic said of the home they purchased, noting the beach is only a twominute walk. As far as tourism goes, Roatán is like the Mayan was 20 years ago or where Belize was 10 years ago, Mic added. “Where we are it’s very multicultural,” Shelly said of their Mangroe Bight neighbourhood in the West End area of the island. “We have Americans, Germans, Texans and a chocolatier living just down the road.”
The area is very touristy with many restaurants so the Buriches may eventually turn a smaller home on their property into a bed and breakfast, they said. Mic has experience working in hydro excavation and running vacuum trucks, but he’s also a few steps away from becoming a professional diver so there are many options for him to work for a local diving company, In the meantime, he plans to start a small security gate business and build a workshop on their half-acre property. Shelly also plans to “hang out her own shingle,” doing communications on a freelance
basis for local governments back in B.C., corporations and major horse shows in Canada. “I’d also love to help develop an emergency communication system in Roatán,” said Shelly, who will draw from the experiences she gained doing that very work for the CRD during local emergencies such as wildfires. Aside from work they anticipate there will be volunteer opportunities on the horizon. The local fire department is completely underfunded and firefighters have to buy their own turnout gear. “We’re also interested in helping the Roatán Marine Park with its
efforts to protect the Misoamerican Reef,” Shelly added. People hoping to follow their adventure more closely will have the opportunity because the Buriches are going to be featured on HGTV’s House Hunters International. “A year ago we got an e-mail from Ed du
Monceaux asking us if we wanted to be on the show,” Shelly said. “We thought he was kidding and said, ‘yah sure.’” Half an hour later, she received an e-mail from one of the show’s producers solidifying the request. At the end of August 2015, the show’s film crew came to Williams Lake to film the back story, which will also promote tourism in the region, thanks to help from the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association, Shelly said. Then in November, Shelly and Mic travelled to Roatan for another four and half days of filming for the show. Viewers can expect the episode to air in April or May of this year, she added. Shelly’s also started a blog about their new life — All Paths Lead to Roatan — and has already written a couple of entries. “For the most part it will be about practical every day stuff, and the intricacies of things like taking our pets with us,” Shelly said of the blog. “I want to share good information and tips in a fun way.”

Marie Sharpe Elementary School Grade 3 student Rownen McNeil shows where his hand was placed on the school’s Pink Shirt Day mural.
Marie Sharpe focuses on positive action Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer For Marie Sharpe Elementary students Pink Shirt Day was a two-day affair. On Tuesday all of the students gathered together for an assembly to take turns dipping their hands in pink paint then placing their hand prints on a long banner of newsprint around the words Be a Buddy, Not a Bully. On Pink Shirt Day Wednesday, the banner filled with the student’s pink hand-prints was put up in the school’s main hallway. The students spent the morning in their respective classrooms talking about how to counteract bullying and worked on developing slogans promoting positive ways in which to counter bullying and interact with one another. The older students printed their slogans on pink paper cut-outs in the shape of running shoes. The younger students printed their slogans and drew pictures on the pink paper shaped like Tshirts. The art work
was later hung on clotheslines pinned up in the school hallways. The students came up with all sorts of slogans for their T-shirts and running shoes, some on their own, some reflecting a little coaching from their teachers. Grade 2/3 teacher Lorene Fennell says the school tries to present students with options for what to do, rather than what not to do, such emphasizing kindness and the old saying: “If you don’t have kind words, don’t say anything at all.” There were many slogans and positive words to read on the art work such as Be a Buddy, Not a Bully; Ignore people who say you are not good enough; Take a stand, lend a hand; If you are bully free, so are we; Don’t be a bully be a friend; and Stop bullying today; Kindness is helping others.

Famous chef now Safeway spokesperson Continued From Page A19
A new lifesize photo of internationally famous chef Jamie Oliver who promotes healthy eating now greets customers at Safeway.
He started as a general clerk and took training as he went along, changing stores every few years to gain experience. From Chilliwack he took positions in New Westminster, Burnaby, central Vancouver, then two years as first assistant manager in Nelson, and four years as first assistant manager in Kamloops where he completed his store manager training. Greg says he is very excited to be in Williams Lake for the unfolding of the new Safeway/Sobeys program. Since becoming affiliated with their parent company, Sobeys, Greg says Safeway has adopted a new direction in lowering prices for customers and promoting a healthy eating and lifestyle with Chef Jamie Oliver as their spokesperson.
“We want to help Canadians to eat better and feel better and that is what Jamie Oliver stands for,” Greg says. He says Safeway also has a new website called Better Food Starts Here, where Jamie is sharing recipes and cooking tips and innovations for having a healthier lifestyle. In keeping with this goal, he says Safeway is also taking Sobeys’ lead and lowering prices and opening its doors to include more local produce. “We have it within our reach now to tailor our business to accommodate local growers and producers,” Greg says. “We also have everyday low pricing on more than 150 items across the store.” He says they also have a new three-tiered beef program which includes “stirling” beef providing top cuts of beef aged for 21 days as well as Aspen Ridge
certified humane and organic beef. There is also a new in-store deli program featuring fresh entrees daily such as take and bake pizza, Italian meatballs, Korean dishes, Mexican-style meatloaf and more. There are also fruit bowls and cups of all sizes cut up fresh daily in the store.

Is Western culture going to Hell in a hand-basket? Are we on the moral equivalent of the Titanic sinking in the waters of historical decency? Do you hear people wishfully saying, “If we could only get back to the way things used to be?” Divorce, gay marriage, socialism, abortion, and the like are often used to raise the big red flag and dictate our Christian marching orders. This sentiment is based on FEAR, not in FAITH in God. With the Canadian elections recently behind us and the media full of US election news, fear tactics seem to be used to take away hope. Once this type of fear begins to sterilize hope, conspiracies take over social media, crazies get a voice and guns come out of the closet. I am not so sure that the “Good ol’ Days” look much better than today. Here is a list of things that go through my mind: 1. Over half a century ago, blacks, Chinese and Natives were thought to be inferior to whites. In many cases they were refused entrance into public buildings, had to use separate restrooms, ride separate school buses, drink from separate water fountains, and a host of other unconscionable things 2. I don’t think women were better off. Back in the “Good
PARSONS PEN BY REVEREND BUBBA ol’ Days,” it was culturally acceptable for husbands to beat their wives. It took activists nearly 100 years to win women the right to vote. 3. Going back a bit further, we had people who fought and died to keep slavery a part of the American “dream.” In Canada we had our own ethnic “nonpeople.” Making it even more shameful, they did it with a gun in one hand and a Bible in the other. 4. How about the glory days of child labour or selling children into indentured servitude? 5. What about eugenics? Courts decided those who were so mentally unstable or socially undesirable that they should not be able to have kids that might inherit
the same dysfunction. In all, 65,000 people in Canada and the USA were sterilized between 1937 & 1972 in the name of hope for mankind. 6. In the 19th century, prostitution was ingrained within the culture. There were over 200 brothels in lower Manhattan alone. It is estimated that nearly seventy-five percent of men in metropolitan cities had a sexually transmitted disease. Yet, many feel that those “Good ol’ Days” were superior to today when we talk about sexual ethics. I don’t mean to insinuate that the moral climate of our world today is wonderful. In many ways we have become worse. But in many ways we have become much, much better. I don’t think that our culture is going downhill morally. I believe we have always walked in the valley of depravity. God’s grace sustains us now as it did then. Let’s keep improving and fighting for human rights, the family unity, sexual morality, and all these things. But let us also realize that we live in a broken world. No matter where you go in history, there is no age of moral high-ground. Let us embrace FAITH in God’s plan and refuse to be motivated by FEAR.

Walking and wheeling in the Puddle Active transportation is any form of human powered transportation including walking, biking, using a wheelchair, inline skating, and the list goes on. Did you know that the City of Williams Lake has an Active Transportation Committee? It is composed of members from Com-
munity Policing, Interior Health, City of Williams Lake, Air Quality Initiative, the Williams Lake Central Business Improvement Area Association, and community volunteers. Their goal is to improve conditions for active transportation while making Williams Lake a safer and healthier environment
for all. Members of this committee volunteered their time securing a grant which will improve the Carson Drive and Highway 97 intersection with safe active transportation routes and features in mind. On April 9, 2016 the Active Transportation Committee is organizing a forum to work
with the community to identify projects and goals aimed at reducing barriers and identifying opportunities for active transportation in Williams Lake. Leading up to the forum we are encouraging all members of the public to complete a short, online survey to develop and focus forum topics, and to clarify community

TRU faculty vote to ratify collective agreement Faculty at Thompson Rivers University have voted to ratify a new collective agreement recommended by mediator Mark Brown, after attempts to reach a negotiated settlement with TRU administration failed during mediation. The mediator’s recommendations were approved by 91 per cent of the 459 members who voted. Tom Friedman, TRUFA president, said that he expected faculty to ratify the recommendations given the current restrictive bargaining climate imposed by the provincial government, and because of the unwillingness of TRU administration bargainers to acknowl-
edge or address key issues facing instructors and instructional support faculty. “Normally — but certainly not in this case — a large Yes vote on ratification means that faculty are pleased with changes to the collective agreement,” said Friedman. “From what our members have told me, faculty very reluctantly approved the recommendations because they saw no other choice. “Because of the limitations imposed by the provincial government through the Public Sector Employers’ Council (PSEC), the changes that TRUFA felt would improve faculty involvement in
decision-making and enhance student learning were not possible to achieve.” In his recommendations, mediator Mark Brown recommended that five per cent of the 5.5 per cent total compensation increase over five years awarded to all B.C. public sector employees should be equally distributed to all faculty, and that the remainder should be allocated to contract faculty who are currently paid below the average of Canadian comparator universities. In addition, Mr. Brown urged the parties to engage in collegial discussions of issues that were left unresolved by bargain-

Grapplers to compete at provincials Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Seven Williams Lake Wrestling Club grapplers are preparing to hit the mat this weekend at the B.C. Wrestling Provincial Championships in Abbotsford. All seven — Zane Barr, Nathan Preston, Niko Kirner, Molly Lamb, Cierra Bellerose, Tyleen Scaiano and Braden Conrod — qualified Feb. 13 in Williams Lake at the Lake City Secondary School Columneetza Campus during the North Central Zone Championships. “All our high school kids qualified,” said WLWC head coach Sonia Conrod. “I’m pretty excited about that.” Barr, in the 74 kilogram division at zones, finished fourth. Preston, at 84 kg, wrestled to a silver medal,
while Kirner, in the 70 kg weight class, finished fourth. Lamb, meanwhile, in the 69 kg girls division, battled to a silver medal. Scaiano fought to a gold medal in the 47 kg weight class. Conrod was petitioned in and will still compete at provincials due to prior solid results this season. “I think they’re going to do really well,” Sonia said. “Just go in there and do the best they can and have fun. Most of them are in Grade 8 and will be competing against kids up to Grade 12.” She noted competing at a provincial championships will be a phenomenal learning experience for her young grapplers. “They can see what they have to look forward to in the years to come,” she said. “They’ll get to see, a lot of them for the first

The Lake City Falcons senior girls basketball team shot to a fourth place finish during the weekend at the North Central Zone Championships in Fort St. John. Six players — Laura Pfleiderer, Emma Pfleiderer, Alyssa Gossen, Morgan Blois, Kaitlyn Berkelaar and Lori Saunders — attended for the Falcons. The Falcons opened their tournament with a 55-45 loss to Dawson Creek. “We lost our first game due to defensive breakdowns and offensive inefficiency,” said Falcons head coach Raji Lalli. Laura dropped 21 points, Emma had 10 points and eight rebounds and Gossen had seven points and nine rebounds. Next, the Falcons downed their rivals from Quesnel, 45-34, where Laura scored 24 points, Emma had 10 points, Blois had nine points and Gossen hauled down 14 rebounds. “This put us in our second do-or-die game against Daw-

Emma had 11 points and 15 rebounds and Gossen had eight points and 11 rebounds. “We pushed hard but we fell short by six points [in a 51-45 loss],” she said. Lalli noted the team will say farewell to several of its senior players this season as they are set to graduate: Laura, Emma, Naomi Lomavatu, Melanie Wintjes, Monique Anderson, Kylie Forseille, Lori Fontaine and Camilla Pittman. “We would also
like to express our condolences to the Storoschuk family,” Lalli said. “Laura [Kaufman Storoschuk] had, of course, taught several of our players and played in the ladies basketball league.” North Peace finished first, Prince George Secondary School was second, Dawson Creek took third and Correlieu Secondary School finished fifth at zones.

Wells International Gourmet Ski attracts 90 participants The Wells International Gourmet Ski ran in perfect winter weather in Wells last Saturday. Sunshine and warm temperatures combined with crisp trails and excellent cooking. Almost 90 participants took part in the event from 12 cities and travelled from Cranbrook, Vancouver, Taylor, Prince George, Hazelton, Armstrong, Quesnel, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. The annual, lim-
ited-entry event includes skiing across the meadows and Cornish Mountain trail network in Wells, while visiting food stations serving international cuisine. In addition, there is an opportunity to ski to additional “booty baskets” for the adventuresome skier. Participants of all ages came from the age of one to 71. The gourmet ski began behind the Bear’s Paw Cafe in Wells and ended at the Jack O Clubs General Store
where skiers were rewarded with prizes for best costume as groups and individuals, and for a variety of other fun categories. After the gourmet ski, participants had an opportunity to book a congratulatory dinner at the Bear’s Paw Care before heading to the Sunset Theatre for a Mountain Film Festival consisting of a variety of short films with outdoor adventure and mountain culture themes.
The Wells International Gourmet ski is held during the third weekend of February annually. The event is run completely by volunteers and raises funds for maintenance of the Wells and Area trail system. Registration at www.wellsbarkervilletrails.com begins each December. For more information contact the Wells and Area Trails Society at wellstrails@ gmail.com or call 1-866-994-2345.

unique way to raise funds for our programs,” said Stefanie Hendrickson, operations co-ordinator with the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District. There will be prizes for the top three finishing teams, the best dressed team and the top fundraisers. Teams will register online and use pledge-based fundraising to raise funds for the BGCWL. If a full team of four registers and raises their minimum fundraising goal of $360 before March 1 they will be entered into a national draw to win two WestJet vouchers for two people to fly anywhere WestJet flies. Currently, 25 teams are registered. Currently, the BGCWL operates 10 programs, eight of which are completely free.

One challenge during last year’s Capital One Race for Kids had participants handcuffed together at the Williams Lake RCMP detachment before firing a Nerf gun at a target. In 2015 they served 4,500 snacks and 1,800 hot meals to children and youth in the community and provided service for more than 400 individuals. “We also sit on many community organizations that are working
together to address areas of concern for children and youth in Williams Lake,” Hendrickson said. “As a non-profit organization and registered charity we rely on the generosity of the community to help make
our programs operate successfully.” Funds raised from the Capital One Race for Kids will do just that, she said. To sign up a team, or for more information, visit www.raceforkids. ca/williamslake.

Anna May Kalloch (nee Boyle) born May 18, 1915 died peacefully in her sleep December 28, 2015 at the age of 100, shortly after suffering a fall. One of ten children born to Wellington and Virginia Boyle (nee Langan) the entire family moved to the coast of BC in 1935 where Anna May met, then married Amos Kalloch July 1, 1937. Leaving New Westminster following the birth of their son Larry, they moved to the BC Interior first briefly to Lillooet and then to a ranch in Bridge Lake where their daughter April was born. The family moved to Williams Lake in 1964 to stay. Anna May was a life long member of the Women’s Institute, an avid gardener and bingo player. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, neighbor and friend. She was predeceased by grandson Keith Kalloch in 1983, husband Amos in 1996, son Larry in 2007 and daughter April Ciardullo (nee Kalloch) in 2013. she is survived by one sister, Irene Wales of Kelowna BC, son-in-law Louie Ciardullo, daughter-in-law Patricia Kalloch (nee Larson), granddaughters Tracey Kalloch and Sheri-Lynn Kalloch, grandson Christopher Ciardullo and numerous great and great-great grandchildren. The family wishes to thank Dr Bernard Ruane and the staff at the Williams Lake Seniors Village for the wonderful care given Anna May for the last years of her life. Sincere thanks also to her dear friends Joanne Wright and Barbara Lucas (nee King) Anna May requested no service following cremation.

VIEWPOINTS
The relationship between income and health According to a recent report about income-related health inequalities in Canada, on a national
level we collectively spend more than $200 billion a year on publicly funded health care.
Here in British Columbia our health care is almost 50 per cent of our provincial budget.
But despite all this spending, those who are richer enjoy better health and live longer
than those who are poor. Our health is most impacted by social determinants — things like
stable housing, having a job, access to education, and a steady income can make us healthier.
Hold on tight This deal’s moving fast

You’ll also enjoy:
It’s all connected — if you have a job and a steady income, you are more likely to be able to find the resources to improve your education or the education of your children. With an advanced education, you are more likely to have a higher income and be able to afford safe and stable housing. If you have affordable housing, you are less likely to have to choose between buying healthy food and paying the rent and that means you can eat a healthier diet. Health indicators like obesity, smoking rates, and child mortality paint a picture of two different worlds — the poorest Canadians are challenged by these problems much more than those who are economically advantaged. Universal health care, like we have in Canada, is a cornerstone to a more equitable society in terms of access to health care. We can also help decrease health inequities by investing in affordable housing, improving access to education, and supporting poverty reduction planning programs in our communities. After all, every person matters. Kerri Wall is a community health facilitator with Interior Health.
