Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Seventeen workers at Gibraltar Mine have received layoff notices. The positions impacted are 14 haul truck drivers, two blaster helpers and one carpenter and will go into effect this Friday after the bumping process is completed. “Our union is concerned because the layoffs don’t correspond

with any curtailment in production,” said Joie Warnock, Unifor western director. Warnock also said the layoffs are unfair considering mining companies are being offered a reprieve in hydro bills for up to two years, as announced by Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett in Williams Lake last month. Taseko’s vice president of corporate affairs Brian Battison, how-
ever, said the layoffs are a result of a new phase in operations at the mine. “We’ve moved from the bottom of the pit to higher ground so there’s a shorter haul route,” Battison said. “As for the hydro reprieve, Gibraltar did not apply for it yet because the process hasn’t been set up.” After the layoffs, 480 Unifor

Local 3018 members will remain working at the mine, Warnock said, noting these recent layoffs are the first round in 2016. “If the B.C. Liberal government’s hydro deferral can’t generate good jobs, then it’s just corporate welfare,” Warnock said. “B.C.’s families don’t get a pass on their hydro bills, why should multinational mining companies that are laying off workers?”

WLIB upset with decision on land Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Last week the Federal Court of Appeal overturned the Specific Claims Tribunal that had ruled in favour of the Williams Lake Indian Band village site specific claim in 2014. “Justice has been plucked from the hands of our community,” said WLIB Chief Ann Louie. “The Court approached the judicial review more in the manner of an appeal, and we consider the decision unjust, unfair and unlawful.” On Monday the band’s leadership was meeting with legal counsel to review the decision and determine what steps to take next. The land subject to the claim is at the foot of Williams Lake. The area includes Williams Creek, Scout Island, the Stampede Grounds, the downtown core of the city, and a plateau north of the downtown core. Claims do not return lands to First Nations,
www.wltribune.com A3
but will instead financially compensate them to a maximum of $10 million. “Our concern is the judicial review was treated like a court of appeal and when we were there in court in May 2015 many members of our community and our council felt at the time it was wrong the way it was handled,” Louie said, noting the act says the judicial review is there to judge whether the judge erred in applying the act itself not to retry the case,. Band Councillor Chris Wycotte said he left the appeal back in May feeling apprehensive. “I said we might as well prepare to go to the Supreme Court then,” he said Monday. In the original tribunal decision it was determined the Colony of British Columbia breached its lawful obligations when it failed to protect the Williams Lake Indian Band’s main village from settler pre-emption and reserve
those lands for the Band and that Canada failed to fulfill its fiduciary obligations to the Band when it failed to take measures to return the village lands to them. In a statement issued Friday the Union of BC Indian Chiefs said the Federal Court substituted vastly different conclusions based on its own review of the facts of the case and dismissed the Band’s claim on the basis that they received alternate reserve lands as a replacement for their village. “Canada must seriously reflect on the paternalistic, overreaching nature and injustice of the Federal Court’s decision,” Grand Chief Stewart Phillip said. “This ruling completely undermines the independence and authority of the Tribunal that Canada established through legislation to restore legitimacy to the specific claims process and in so doing further erodes First Nations confidence in the process to resolve these grievances.”
CREWS DOUSE PARK FIRE

Mother found guilty of child abuse and neglect Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A Supreme Court judge in Williams Lake has found a young mother guilty of common assault of her infant son as well as failing to provide him with the necessities of life. The woman, referred to as SH by the judge to protect her son N’s identity, was 19 when she gave birth to N prematurely in September 2011. In his written judgement dated Feb. 26,
2016, Justice Robert Jenkins said SH shook N on six occasions from the time he was a newborn until he was six months old. She struck him on the head four times between age nine and 12 months, causing bruising. And she squeezed his torso when he was 10 months old. “One of these assaults, committed when N was three or four months, fractured N’s rib,” the judge stated. Doctors testifying at the trial said SH missed
several appointments scheduled with pediatricians due to their concerns. One doctor testified his weight had fallen below five per cent of babies on the growth chart at four months old. At six months the baby weighed just under 10 pounds. Based on the doctors’ testimonies, the judge found the mother’s failure to feed the baby endangered his life and would likely have caused his health to be permanently injured.
In March 2012, N was admitted to hospital after a doctor called the Ministry of Children and Family Development. When the baby was discharged in April, the ministry placed him in foster care where his caretaker, who also testified at trial, said he began to thrive and was eating well when he spent weekends or periods of days with her. For her part, the mother testified she had a difficult life and suffered from depression.
She told police during an interview in January 2013 at one point she was sleeping 24 hours a day because of her depression. While growing up her parents separated, her father battled alcohol addiction and her stepmother struggled with a drug addiction. During her teenage years she depended on underage welfare, for lengths of time didn’t have a place to live and stayed in homeless shelters and often couch surfed. She also never
lived with a baby in the house and did not have experience caring for babies. One week before the baby’s birth she moved in with the baby’s father and stayed with him until June 2012. The father, referred to as RH, testified the mother was overwhelmed and frustrated with motherhood, but was often receptive to asking for help. He testified her demeanour was desperate, and that she often told the baby to “shut up‚“ if
it was making noise, the judge stated in his written decision. “Regarding instances of abuse, RH testified to having seen SH strike N on the head when N cried so as to get him to stop crying. RH also witnessed SH pick N up and ‘squeeze’ him, and on another occasion pull N out from under a desk by his wrists and squeeze him for 20 or 30 seconds following which he took N away from her,” the judge stated. The woman will be sentenced at a later date.

Businesses shine at Chamber awards night Angie Mindus Staff Writer Pride in community and appreciation of staff was the common theme during the acceptance speeches at the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce annual Business Excellence Awards banquet. A total of 70 businesses and individuals were in the spotlight and up for nomination in nine categories Saturday night at the Elk’s Hall.

Lori Macala was named Community Booster for her many hours volunteering in the community with such groups as the Stampede Association, Williams Lake Studio Theatre, Station House Gallery, Meals on Wheels, Daybreak Rotary and the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce.
Macala said she was humbled by the honour and thankful to live in such a wonderful community. The Child Development Centre/Cariboo Autism Centre took home the Newsmaker of the Year Award with their vision to help local families living with autism through the building of the new autism centre.
The project received overwhelming community support from individuals and businesses. The Hugo Stahl Memorial Award was given to Charlene Harrison, an active chamber member for many years. When she took the stage, Harrison was visibly shaken by the honour and expressed her gratitude for being recognized
for her work on many committees and task forces in which she advocates for positive changes in the community. It was hats off to the Williams Lake Stampede Association who shone in the spotlight after winning the Hospitality/ Tourism Award. See INDIVIDUALS Page A5

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus
More to discuss COMEDY EXCHANGE than U.S. election
Ranching a way of life
he never-ending U.S. pre-election “news” in the Canadian mainstream media is giving me the pip. Of course the outcome of the presidential race will have huge impact on us, but there is little we can do to influence the outcome. The antics are entertaining, but enough is enough. There are other issues we could be hearing about. For instance, no matter what your opinion is of Margaret Trudeau, she recently received, from the Simon Fraser University, an award for her work advocating for victims of mental illness. She previously received an honorary law degree from the University of Western Ontario in recognition of this work. Why so little recognition for her? What about the newly appointed Forest Enhancement Society? It has $85 million of taxpayers’ French money to spend Connection but its mandate is Diana French unclear. Eightyfive million isn’t chump change. Surely taxpayers should know how it’s spent. The new Societies Act will come in force in November this year, and it merits some publicity, too, as it has some implications for B.C.’s 27,000 non-profit organizations. Site C will have an horrendous impact on B.C. ‘s future. It would be helpful to have some in-depth reporting on the pros and cons, like why it is such a good idea, and what will be done to mitigate the downsides — i.e. what will replace the agricultural land that will be lost? And what about the plans to sell hydro power to Alberta? We need to have more information on fracking, also, and better explanations on just how LNG is environmentally OK. Australia has successfully used trained dogs to snuff out a noxious weed in a national Park. The four-legged botanists have found hundreds of hawkweed plants in the park that would otherwise have gone undetected. Could dogs be used in the battle against B.C.’s noxious weeds? Back to the US elections. Some say if Donald Trump becomes president, disgruntled Americans will consider moving to Canada. This could be a good opportunity for the Cariboo. We already have those great local videos for attracting doctors, why not get some made to attract U.S. immigrants? Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.
n the Cariboo-Chilcotin, one of the sure signs of spring is the birth of calves in local pastures. Some of our ranchers have already begun calving, and many more will be starting soon. This is an exciting season for ranchers, as these calves represent a new year of growth and prosperity for their businesses. Ranching is a way of life in the CaribooChilcotin. It is important to both the social and economic fabric of our region. Each year, an average of 33,000 cattle are sold through the Williams Lake Stockyards. These cattle come from ranches in and around our area — from Quesnel all the way south to Clinton. The first BC MLA Livestock cattle Musings sale of 2016 was held in midDonna Barnett February, and it looks to be another promising year for our ranchers. The money spent on cattle at these stockyards goes directly to our hardworking ranchers, who invest this money back into our local economy. When they succeed, we all benefit. To ensure ranching continues to have a strong future in our region, it is important that we remain responsive to the needs of industry. In 2015, our government announced more than $150,000 of funding to Thompson Rivers University to establish a new Sustainable Ranching Enterprise Diploma in Williams Lake. Now underway, this diploma program addresses the needs of the local ranching environment in our region. It focuses on sustainable management of natural resources and building resilience into ranching enterprises, both at home and abroad. The diploma program was created by an advisory committee of ranching representatives from our region. It truly is a program built by industry, for industry. I am confident that this program will help to prepare students for success in an evolving economy, ensuring the continued prosperity of ranchers in our region for years to come. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Our Viewpoint
Driving to distraction One would think it wouldn’t still need to be said. But RCMP and ICBC are again reminding drivers to leave the phone alone. They’re launching yet another campaign aimed at underlining just how dangerous it is to use a phone while driving. And it is dangerous. According to ICBC, 25 per cent of all road deaths in the province involve distracted driving. That’s one in four. And, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the odds of crashing increase five times when using a phone, whether dialing, texting, reading or using social media. In the Lower Mainland, it’s estimated that 27 people are killed in distracted driving-related crashes every year. Faced with those numbers, it’s hard to imagine why drivers would still use their phone while they’re behind the wheel. But they do. According to a recent survey by Ipsos Reid, 34 per cent of cell phone users said they use their phone be-

tween one and five times out of every 10 trips. “It’s time we all commit to leaving our phones alone and avoid other forms of distraction when we’re behind the wheel,” said Lindsay Matthews, ICBC’s director responsible for road safety. This month police will be on the roads watching for drivers who have not yet got the message. “We’re cracking down on those who cannot police themselves.” said Chief Constable Neil Dubord, Chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police Traffic Safety Committee. “Even when you’re at a red light or in slow moving traffic — you’re still in control of a vehicle — and the law still applies.” But we can all be part of the solution. Talk to your family, talk to your friends and remind them that if they’re driving without their full attention on the road they’re an accident waiting to happen. - Black Press

Public should lobby on tie bid Editor: The decision by the Ministry of Environment to allow Atlantic Power to increase the amount of rail ties to 50 per cent of their fuel supply is fast approaching. The pressure is on all of us to advocate for limiting the pollutants in not only our air shed but the complete biome (air, water, soil) but as well to advocate for our local economy and community. This permit affects not only the environment but the economy, both of which have an effect not only on the health and well being of individuals but of the community as a whole. All of us, no matter if we live in town or out of town, depend on toxin free air, adequate supply of clean water, soil that is not leaching toxins into the groundwater and fugitive dust blowing in the
wind. Allowing Atlantic Power to forgo the huge amounts of forestry road side logging debris for toxic rail ties will adversely affect the economic well being of the community. It will cast a negative pall on the community and no matter what the company tells us or even if the Ministry of Environment allows this permit the stain will stick. How many potential retirees, young families locked out of the Lower Mainland, doctors and other skilled workers will not locate here because of rail ties. How many possible logging/ trucking jobs will not be utilized cleaning up the huge amount of road side logging debris and beetle killed wood because Atlantic Power can make huge money in tipping fees disposing of rail ties? It was very clear at last week’s information meeting that confi-
dence in the government to protect our interests is nonexistent and rightly so for attendance at the meeting by elected officials was less than sparse. It was even more clear that there was no trust in corporations which is exactly what we keep hearing from Atlantic Power. “Trust us, our employees live here and are experts, they have families…” We as a community need to take a hard look and decide if the short term profits to Atlantic Power are worth the legacy we will have to endure long after the Williams Lake Power Plant has ceased to be, when the community no longer collects the taxes, for the consequences to us will be long lived in the ash pile, the loss of jobs and ill health of all of us.

Who determines who is biased? Editor: Letter writer Bernd Eisle considers me biased. Isn’t he also? Who isn’t biased? Do you consider yourself Conservative or NDP, capitalist or communist, choose life or pro choice, Christian, atheist or Church of Environmental Nuttiness? He believes I have an uneducated opinion about refugees. I have read a multitude of articles and a few books (Ayan Hirst Ali, Mark Stein) regarding Moslem integration in Europe. I would say I have a common sense, practical view, with effort we can relatively, safely accommodate 10,000 refugees, Trudeau is planning to bring in
www.wltribune.com A7
50,000 by end of the year. Already, thousands of refugees are being put up in hotels at public expense, many families say they feel trapped in hotels and some would prefer to be back in camps in Lebanon and Jordan. Why didn’t Mr. Eisle mention Germany when he wrote of “another country” taking in 1,000,000 refugees? Possibly because of the social chaos that has resulted? Mr. Eisle questions my assertion that refugees come from a mysogynistic culture. He must live in a politically correct alternate universe. I recommend anyone read Ayaan Hirst Ali’s book INFIDEL. She was a Moslem refugee in Holland which is 49 per cent Moslem due
to their open door, unrestricted immigration policy. She and film maker Theo Van Gogt made a film called “SUBMISSION” in which the film addresses the crimes of violence and honour killings perpetrated against Moslem women and girls in Holland. She wanted Holland to wake up and stop tolerating the oppression of Muslim women in its midst. Lastly, I got the figure of 420 homeless in Williams Lake from Wayne Lucier, CMHA, who has the unenviable and formidable job of helping find homes, he is the homeless advocate here.

Re: the Atlantic Power Corporation proposal to burn railway ties at its bio-solids plant in Williams Lake (an open letter to the Ministry of Environment). I’m very concerned about the proposal by Atlantic Power Corporation to burn treated railway ties in the captive environment of the Williams Lake valley. The Atlantic Power plant in Williams Lake is located in a bowl subject to frequent temperature inversions. Atlantic Power claims any smoke emissions of toxic sub-

stances they want to burn will be below the provincial guidelines. Can you please explain to me the science behind these provincial guidelines? Can you assure me that furans and dioxins will not accumulate in the Williams Lake environment as a result of burning railway ties in the Atlantic Power generation facility? I am very concerned that these toxic substances will turn Williams Lake into an undesirable, unhealthy place to live. I am also very concerned about the ash residue. Since 1993, ash from the energy plant burner has been stock-
piled on the lacustrine bench above the Williams Lake River Valley. This seems like a very foolish place to store hazardous material prone to enter the Williams Lake River watershed and subsequently the Fraser River. If permission is given to burn railway ties, it is my understanding that the ash will become more toxic than it currently might be. According to reports produced by Atlantic Power, the furans and dioxins will increase in the ash exponentially. If the proposal to up to burn 50 per cent railway ties is granted by your ministry, the furans and dioxins will increase by 1,600

Female suspects sought in downtown robbery Angie Mindus Staff Writer Police suspect gang activity is to blame for the latest violent act in Williams Lake, this time with a woman being robbed at gunpoint for $75 worth of groceries downtown early Sunday evening. Williams Lake Staff Sgt. Del Byron said a distraught 28-year-old victim flagged down police at the corner of Borland Street and 7th Avenue, across from Boitanio Park, at about 6:30 p.m. The victim told police she had just been walking from Save-OnFoods to her sister’s house with groceries

Byron said the victim told police she began fighting with her attackers until one produced a handgun and pointed it at her chest. The victim then left her groceries and ran away, but tried to keep an eye on the suspects, who were last seen leaving the area through the Sandman Hotel parking lot and walking toward the back alley near the Boys and
Girls Club. Byron said police immediately established a perimeter and searched the area with the assistance of the police dog service, however, no suspects were located. He noted the victim told police she was not a member of the IO’s rival gang, the 712s, however, is believed to be dating a prolific offender and 712 gang member, which may have made her a target. The suspects are described as First Nations females, one with a handgun and one with bear spray. The victim noted one suspect was wearing black pants with silver lettering and beading while another

Vehicle theft lands two youth in custody A police foot chase into the Tolko log yard early Tuesday morning resulted in officers catching two youth suspected of stealing a vehicle from Pearkes Drive. Staff Sgt. Del Byron said officers were quick
to respond to a complaint of the vehicle theft minutes earlier at 3:18 a.m. Tuesday, with police locating the suspect vehicle travelling south on Highway 97. Byron said the two youth, aged 15 and 16, were arrested following a brief foot chase and RCMP are recommending charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, theft of a motor vehicle and possession of break and enter tools. The RCMP want to remind the community to report any suspicious activity to the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211, or through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

More council briefs are as follows: • The owner of the burned building at Williams Inn has received a 90-day demolition compliance order. • Council has scrapped the idea of supporting a round about for the intersection at Proctor

Mayor Walt Cobb said council had budgeted $250,000 toward the project, but the estimates came in at $300,000 more than that. “There was no way we could afford it,” Cobb said. “There will just be the four-way stop there instead.”

TNG accord conflicts with other nations Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Six First Nation communities say the B.C. government should have consulted with them before signing an accord with the Tsilhqot’in in February. Last week the Lhtako Dene Nation in Quesnel and the four Northern Secwepemc te Qelmuc (NStQ) communities of Canim Lake Indian Band (Tsq’escen’), Williams Lake Indian Band (T’exelc), Soda Creek Indian Band (Xats’ull) and Stswecem’c/ Xgat’tem (Canoe Creek /Dog Creek Indian Band), issued press releases voicing their concerns. “The land claimed by the Tsilhqot’in in the ac-
cord covers a huge area of central B.C. including significant portions of Secwepemc territory and that of other neighbouring First Nation communities,” the NStQ board of directors stated in a press release. Lhtako Dene (Red Bluff) Chief Terry Boucher congratulated the Tsilhqot’in people on their success in negotiating the agreement, but said her community is concerned the accord will impact their territory. “We expect that both B.C. and the Tsilhqot’in Nation will work with us to resolve this overlap before further steps are taken to implement the accord within our territory,” Boucher said.

The NStQ leaders also acknowledged the different cultures, interests and governance structures of its First Nations neighbours and “sincerely thanked the leaders of Lhoosk’uz Dene First Nation and Lhtako Dene First Nation for their support and concern in extending a unified message regarding the lack of provincial consultation and colonial attitude regarding the future of our lands.” Responding to their concerns, the Tsilhqot’in National Government said it plans to meet with neighbouring First Nation communities in the coming weeks to discuss moving forward and working together on reconciling mutual
interests. “Misunderstandings have a way of getting the best of people,” said TNG Chair Chief Joe Alphonse. “We must celebrate this agreement for what it is. We are at the beginning of conversations between ourselves and government to reconcile our interests in the land and wildlife and to acknowledge that, we as First Nation people, are rightfully the appropriate governors of our own Nations.” Alphonse said the Tsilhqot’in have traditional ways and a cultural duty to work through conversations with their neighbouring First Nations, and they look forward to these conversations..

Six peer helpers with the Beauty from the Inside Out program in Grades 8 through 12 helped out with the event and some of them also participated in the fashion show, Hyde says. “The girls were an amazing help looking after the vendors, offering sandwiches, coffee and tea,” Hyde says. About 100 people attended the event which featured displays by 33 vendors featuring everything from jewellery to clothing, to body care products and more. “We had a successful and fun event,” Hyde says in thanking the event sponsors, helpers and those who attended the event.

Trustees reach out
Thank You Robin, Hannah, and Chloe, alongside the Kaufman and Storoschuk families, would like to express our extreme gratitude for the loving support we’ve all received since Laura’s sudden passing February 14th 2016. Our Cariboo Community has taken care of us and accommodated our every need during this time of devastating loss. It is said that grief can be lessened and healing can begin with the sharing of talk, touch, tears, and time. All of you, our friends and neighbours, have given us these things in abundance and it is so greatly appreciated.
Talk: We thank you for all the messages, memories, and pictures shared with us. We are thankful for the beautiful tributes and eulogy. Touch: We thank you for all the hugs and gestures of strength. Grief shared is grief abated. Tears: We thank you for sharing your tears. Laura always enjoyed a good cry and knew that it is a healthy part of being human. Time: Greatest of all. The generous involvement of so many people from the first day to the organizing and participation in the Celebration of Laura’s life was amazing. This gift from every corner of our community has allowed us the time we needed to grieve and recover from the shock. The profound outpouring of compassion, volunteer help, and contributions from our Cariboo Community to our families is genuinely appreciated. We are deeply moved and feel that all of the love and support we received reflects the endless love that Laura shared with everyone in her life.
Fear is Temporary; Regret is Forever
The School District 27 board and staff are wrapping up a series of public meetings this week that have been held to gather input on three issues. The district is seeking input on: a new strategic plan; rural education; and possible changes to trustee electoral boundaries. The final public meeting takes place at Big Lake Elementary School Thursday, March 10 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Turnout at the meetings has been fairly low with only two parents turning out for the meeting at Lake City Secondary’s Williams Lake
campus Thursday, March 3; eight at 100 Mile House meeting Feb. 25; 20 at the Tatla Lake meeting Feb. 24; and 10 at Nemiah meeting Feb. 29. Board Chair Tanya Guenther shared the numbers after the meeting in Williams Lake last Thursday evening. She said a report on the consultation process findings would be released at the March 29 board meeting. In seeking input for a new strategic plan the board is asking people to tell them about their best learning experience when they were in school; what the

district is doing well; and what opportunities that are not currently in place, do they see as being valuable for students. When it comes to rural education they are asking what is working; what can be done better; and for any other comments they would like to make. Three options are being proposed for updating the trustee electoral area voting process, considering mail-in ballots, and reducing the number of polling stations. Options include the following. • Maintain seven zones and conform to CRD boundaries (mostly affecting the Williams Lake and its fringe areas). • Reduce the district to three electoral zones with elections at large for 100 Mile House area (three trustees); Williams Lake area three trustees); and Rural (west and east one trustee). • Reduce to two zones with elections at large: 100 Mile House area (three trustees); Williams Lake area plus west and east rural areas (four trustees). Guenther said most people are in favour of keeping the current seven zones with some boundary adjustments. More information is available on the district website at www.sd27.bc.ca.

Walmart helps Elders gathering Organizers of the 40th Annual B.C. Elders Gathering coming to the lakecity this summer are thrilled to receive a $15,000 donation for the event from Walmart. “We would like to thank Walmart, Williams Lake, B.C, for stepping up and taking a lead to be one of our major sponsors,” Chief Joe Alphonse said in a press release accepting the funds this week. Hosted by Tletinqox Government Office the 40th Annual B.C. Elders Gathering will take place July 11 to 14. Events open to the public during the gathering include a Tent City in the Stampede grounds, First Nations arts and crafts exhibitors from all across Canada featured in the Curling Rink, and a Wild West Show. There is no charge to watch the Wild West Show, or visit the Tent City, but there will be a $2 daily fee to visit the arts and craft exhibits. The gathering of Elders is not a public event. The Elders will participate in workshops, tours, and will have a special time of their own to visit the arts and crafts exhibits. “This Gathering is all about our Elders,”
Alphonse said. “It’s about honouring our Elders and giving back to them. “This gathering has been such a huge success in the past years, it is going into its 40th year, and Tletinqox Government Office, is honoured to be the host community for the event.” More than 3,000 Elders and as many as 10,000 other visitors are expected to converge in the city for the gathering, Alphonse said. “We are expecting over $1 million to be dropped in the city’s economy,” Alphonse said. “Not all Elders will
use our services that we will provide for them, and they will venture out into the city, and so we are asking all businesses to be aware of this major event, and be prepared.” He said the event organizers still need major support in many areas such as financial and volunteer resources, to co-ordinate some tours and workshops for our Elders. People who would like to volunteer at the event are asked to contact the volunteer coordinator Betty Derkson at 250-392-3918. More information is also available at the main website at www. eldersgathering.ca.

Mitchell Blusson’s car beat every other car in the races to earn him the top title of Master Racer 2016 at the races held on the Feb. 27-28 weekend. The Awana Club is a Christian boys and girls club run by the Evangelical Free Church on 11th Avenue. For the annual Awana Club races each club member shapes a racing car from a block of wood to race down a set track, four at a time. Cars come in every shape from sleek racing cars to trucks and one even shaped like a Tootsie Roll. The event is very exciting and includes parents and siblings who catch the racing fever. Children from Kindergarten to Grade 6 are welcome to join the Awana Club which meets at the Church on 11th Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 7:15 p.m. There are two activity age groups, Sparkies who are in the Kindergaren to Grade 2 age group and T & T, who are

Racism hurts.
DIRTY
CAMPAIGN
LAUNDRY
In partnership with
Canadian Mental Health Association
Mary Thomas: I needed advocacy “Over the years I had become numb to racism against me – one time I was at the Greyhound getting a ticket for the bus and the sales clerk treated me with disdain in her words, her tone and her actions while doing up my ticket. My partner advocated for me and addressed the racist actions made by the sales clerk. Then my advocate asked me, “Did you notice that the sales clerk was being racist toward you.” I felt so dejected and depressed knowing that and I just became numb to racism against me. I have become more observant now and learned to address the issue of racism against me or anyone else, as I have become an advocate against racism.” Mary’s numbness did not interfere with her ability to lead a very full and successful life. Despite the underlying obstacles of racism Mary moved forward and is an accomplished dancer, author, public speaker, mother, grandmother and forever an advocate.

Williams Lake Wrestling Club grappler Braden Conrod works over an opponent during the BC High School Wrestling Provincials Feb. 27-28 in Abbotsford. Conrod would go on to win the gold medal and become the first wrestler in the 19-year history of the club to achieve the feat.
Conrod first in club history to win provincial title Greg Sabatino Staff Writer A Williams Lake Wrestling Club grappler showed heart and determination to become the first wrestler from the club to win gold at a provincial wrestling championship. Eleven-year veteran Braden Conrod achieved the feat in the 66-kilogram division at the event, held Feb. 27-28 in Abbotsford, to become the first wrestler in the WLWC’s 19-year history to win top spot. Braden’s former coach and WLWC founder, Rick Bryan, was also at the tournament adding to the significance of the moment. “I have never seen such focus, determination and heart from an athlete,” said WLWC head coach and Braden’s mom, Sonia Conrod. In the final Braden was matched up with last year’s national bronze medalist, Nick Lew. “The crowd expected the Coast Wrestling Academy Wrestler to defeat this small-town kid, no problem,” Sonia said. The end came when Braden reversed a gutwrench, locked Lew’s chin and pulled butterfly for the

There was a standing ovation from the whole building,” she said. The match was subsequently voted best match of the finals, and also grants Braden a berth to the national wrestling champion-
ships. “[Rick] was sitting in Braden’s corner with me for all his matches and it was an honour to have him there with us to share this experience,” Sonia said. “Braden is the last of the original members from when Rick was here. He
also started Braden in the sport in Grade 1.” The rest of the competition, where several other WLWC wrestlers put together strong results, was intense, Sonia said. “All our athletes were awesome,” she said. “Every weight class was a double knockout bracket draw with top competitors from all over the province. Most of our young athletes were in Grade 8 so the experience was incredible for them.” Niko Kirner, in the 70kg division, placed 15th. Nathan Preston, meanwhile, in the 84-kg division was 12th. Also in Grade 8 Cierra Bellerose, at 47 kg, finished 10th. Molly Lamb, in what Sonia said was a very tough 69-kg division, just missed the podium by taking eighth overall, however, finished high enough to qualify for the national championships. “Everyone fought hard and I’m very proud of all our athletes and the effort they put in,” she said. “Getting to experience this was amazing for all of them.” Braden and Lamb are now training for the national wrestling championships, coming up April 14-17 in Calgary, Alta.
Start the golf season off with a fun tournament in support of the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District. Funds raised from the tournament go to the BGCWL. Cost is $80 per golfer and there will be competitive, mixed and fun divisions. Four members per team. Individuals will get matched with a team. There will also be a golf ball toss, closest to the pin contests, games and prizes. Lunch will be served after nine holes and a dinner will follow at 6 p.m. For more information or to register contact the Crystal Wells at 259392-5730 (ext. 202).

Williams Lake Blue Fins member Taylor Fitzgerald placed in the top eight of five out of six swims during the weekend in Victoria at the Swim BC AAA Championships. “Taylor had some great swims as she bettered most of her times in every event she swam,” Blue Fins head coach Chad Webb said. Fitzgerald started day one of the competition finishing eighth in the 200-metre individual medley, fourth in the 50-metre breaststroke and sixth in the 100-metre backstroke. “[It was] a busy day for her as she finished her fifth race of the day posting great times,” Webb said. On day two Fitzgerald raced in the 200-metre backstroke and qualified
for the finals with a three-second improvement to her best time to scoop up the bronze medal. Day three saw Fitzgerald place ninth in the 200-metre breaststroke and eighth in the 50-metre backstroke. Webb added he was extremely happy with Fitzgerald’s performance and credits her results to hard work in daily practices. “She works hard every day and betters herself every chance she gets,” he said. “Taylor is becoming a great competitor and one of the top swimmers on the team. She is such a pleasure to coach.” The Williams Lake Blue Fins will now wind down over spring break and will resume the long course season in April.

SPORTS BC Lions to visit high school today High school students in Williams Lake will have an opportunity to meet with members of the Canadian Football League’s BC Lions. Offensive guard TDre Player and fullback Rolly Lumbala will be presenting the team’s Be More Than A Bystander initiative — a campaign directed at eliminating violence towards women — at both Lake City Secondary School’s Columneetza and Williams Lake campuses. The visit is part of a multi-day stop in communities throughout the province this week, which also includes 100
Mile House and Quesnel. The Be More Than A Bystander program aims to break the silence surrounding violence against women and girls by providing tools, language and practical ideas about how to be more than a bystander, how to speak up and how to communicate that violence and abuse is not acceptable. In 2012 Lions quarterback Travis Lulay and offensive lineman Angus Reid visited LCSS to give the same presentation, which was well received by students and staff.

Kolby Taylor led all Team White scorers with 19 points, while Waterhouse and Bhavan Mann each scored 14. Prior to the final Team Black defeated Team Red, captained by Ruel Anderson, 6645.

spirational player was won by Willie Hardeman of Team Red. “Willie is 61 years old and is still one of the best players in the league and probably the best pure shooter in the league,” Waterhouse said. “What he does at his age is unbelievable, competing against guys half his age and putting up some monster numbers.” Waterhouse said the players would like to thank Martin Kruus for running and organizing the league. He also thanked Jagdish Sras from Subway for supplying the year-end awards. “Jag is a very big supporter to the community and we can’t thank him enough for all his contributions.”

Once a preset amount of passes are sold at the least expensive amount, the price will increase to the next tier. “The quantity-based approach is used when booking airline tickets and we are eager to try new things,” said Caroline Sherrer, Mt. Timothy Ski Area general manager. “We are hopeful this will encourage our guests to purchase their season pass early
to ensure the best price while providing us with some much-needed capital to reinvest into the ski hill this summer.” The ski area will also be offering a new ticket package, a corporate season pass, starting at $499. The new pass is transferable and can be shared. “We recognize there are many local companies who would purchase a transferable pass to offer their employees as a benefit,” Sherrer said. Season passes are available online at http://skitimothy.ltibooking.com/ or at Mt. Timothy Ski Area’s pro shop until the close of the season on March 28.

PILKINGTON, (MARTIN) JODY ALLAN July 18, 1979 – February 1, 2016
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jody Allan Martin Pilkington on February 1, 2016. Jody is survived by his two beautiful daughters, Jordyn (14) and Rylee (12), his Parents Lynda and Glen Martin of Oyama, Doug and Shawn Pilkington of Williams Lake, his sister Bobbi and niece and nephew, Marcella and Emanuel, plus numerous extended family and friends. Celebration of Life will be held on March 19, 2016 at Gatzke’s Farm in Oyama, B.C. at 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. You never said you were leaving, You never said good-bye. You were gone before we knew it, And only you know why. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still. In our hearts we hold a place, That only you can fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone. A part of us went with you, The day that you went home.
JAMES HENRY COOPER
Jan. 17, 1938 - Feb. 10, 2016 It is with great sadness that the family of James Henry Cooper announce his passing on February 10, 2016 after a lengthy battle with COPD. Jim was predeceased by his wife of 31 years, Janice Cooper, sister Isabel Webster and brother Huntley Cooper. He is survived by his brother Tom (Betty) Cooper and sister Mary (Ron) Bernt; his children Terry (Joanne) Cooper, Doug (Kathy) Cooper, David (Glenna) Cooper, Luanne (Jeff) Newman and Cheryl Cooper. He will be missed by his 10 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews. Jim’s work took him to Sayward, Quesnel, Williams Lake and the Kamloops and Barriere area. He loved being outdoors and cherished the fact that his wife was at his side as he worked. We would like to thank the Doctors and Nurses of G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital especially Jacquie for allowing Jim and Janice to have a peaceful passing together. There will be no service by request.
In loving memory
Jean Rosamond Rich (nee Graham)
December 22, 1921 – March 2, 2016
J
ean (aka Grandma Jean) was born in Edwin, Manitoba and grew up in nearby Dauphin. She worked for the Dept of Veterans Affairs in Ottawa and trained as a nurse in Vancouver before meeting her husband to be, Emil (Slug) Rich, who with his brother Freddie horse logged in the Horsefly area. They married in August 1951. They would have three sons and Jean raised her family at their mill, Crescent Lumber, located on Slater Mountain prior to relocating to the house they built at Comer Hill. There was a later move to South Lakeside, and finally after divorce in 1978, Jean settled into Highwood Park, and then in 1985 moved to her forever home where she tenaciously lived until her passing “the next time I move it will be six feet under”! Jean spent many hours volunteering and found much joy in giving a helping hand to; Glendale school library, supporting many bake sales and supplying the teacher’s with fresh bread. She babysat for friends and church members, delivered Meals on Wheels, and baked for the Seniors Activity Centre. She was a long time member of the Skyline WI, Royal Canadian Legion Auxiliary, Seniors Centre & the OAPO. Her hobbies included knitting, crocheting and ceramics from which she lovingly created countless blankets, mittens, socks, scarves, adorable baby outfits and knick knacks that were usually donated to the hospital, seniors centre, or given away to family and friends. The annual spring return of the many birds to her feeders on her deck was cause for much celebration and happiness. Events such as Church Gatherings, Saturday Bingo at the Seniors Centre, and charging around town with bff`s in her little red Chevette would get Jean out of her favourite chair and briefly away from her Soaps, Jeopardy, Mystery Shows, Solitaire, making lists and writing in her diaries. She will now watch over her family from above: {Allan (Eva), Suzanne (James), Calvin (Kelly) [Ethan, Austin, Chloe, Ashton], Derek( Jaclyn)}; {Brian (Kathy), Jennifer (Dave)}; {Wayne (Deanna) Michelle (Chris) [Adam , Katelyn], Corrie (Curtis), [Bowen]}. Jean is predeceased by her parents James & May Graham, sister Nellie, brother’s Harold, Albert, & Len (TUGREEBA), husband Emil & daughter-in-law Eva. Jean touched the hearts of so many and we will all remember her streak of stubbornness, her infectious laughter, loving spirit and big hugs. It takes a community of many people, professionals, and loving friends to support an `independent senior`. The family extends huge hugs and thanks to the many special people who gave of their time so generously over the years: Home Care Workers, Meals on Wheels Volunteers, LifeLine, Better at Home, Mormon Church members, fellow Gardner Court residents, Doctors York and Ruane, Lee at WL Hearing Clinic, and countless others (you know who you are) who helped support us in so many ways, fulfilling Mom’s wish to remain living on her own. A shout out to Norm Denny, Ray Shields & the Taylor Automotive Team for keeping the pistons purring on that little red 1980 Chevette for 30+ yrs as well .
“Give Me a Hug”
Services will be held at 1 pm on March 9th at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 3039 Edwards Drive, with interment to follow at the Williams Lake Cemetery. Those wishing to honor Jean’s memory may do so by way of donation to the Senior’s Centre or to a charity of their choice.

SPORTS
Gymnasts bring home medals from Quesnel Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Members of the Williams Lake Gymnastics Club bounced and flipped their way to multiple medals late last month at the Quesnel GoldPan Invitational. For most it was the club’s first meet of the competitive gymnastics season, where gymnasts Kalli Campbell, Nya Chutskoff, Allysia Irawan, Jazmine Crombie-Smith and Marajade Goetz represented the lakecity. In Junior Olympic Program level one it was a one, two, three sweep for the WLGC. Irawan finished first overall to bring home gold, taking first in vault and beam, and capturing second on bars and floor. Second overall was Crombie-Smith, while Goetz was third. “The best part for me was getting the medals,” Irawan said. “Vault and beam were my best events. I had awesome coaches and I practiced hard.”
Crombie-Smith agreed receiving their medals was fun. “I stayed tight on the vault and had good form,” she said. Goetz, meanwhile, enjoyed the competitive aspect of the meet. “My favourite was competing,” she said. “Gymnastics is really my thing and I like doing it a lot. I even practice in my living room.” In the JOP level three division Campbell was fifth overall, and Chutskoff was eighth. Campbell’s best even was floor, where she got second. Chutskoff, meanwhile, was fifth on vault and fifth on floor. “Getting to meet new people from different places is fun,” Chutskoff said. The WLGC also brought home two team awards from the competition. In the JOP level one division the team placed first, while in the JOP level three division, the team finished second. The team will now continue training for its next meet, coming up in April.
Sprickerhoff third at Spring Run Off Williams Lake’s Conlan Sprickerhoff placed third Sunday during the 2016 Spring Run Off in Kamloops. The Thompson Rivers University Cross Country Team runner crossed the finish line in the men’s 20-24 age division in 35 minutes and 47 seconds. His fellow teammates Tony Kiprop (35:27) and Kurt Behnsen (35:43) placed first and second, respectively. The race was the second in the Canadian Tire Road Racing Series. Head coach Carmin
Mazzotta said to date the team’s focus has been on more track work and speed rather than longer efforts on the road. “This was just about getting a longer effort in and supporting local road races,” he said. “Our men in particular ran well. We are starting to see a core competitive group of runners emerging on the men’s side, which we haven’t seen before. “If we can keep everyone healthy, this will bode well come cross country season this fall.”

The Hearth Restaurant at the Cariboo Friendship Society serves breakfast and lunch seven days a week, says manager Shannon Holmes. “We just started having daily lunch specials for something different,” Holmes said this week. “We still have our lunch buffet, but now we only serve it on Fridays.” Located in the Cariboo Friendship Society building at 99 Third Avenue South across from the movie theatre, the restaurant is open Sunday to Saturday. From Monday to Friday they are open from 6:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays they are open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The restaurant offers good home cooked meals, such as pork chops, mashed potatoes and vegetables, salisbury steak or things such as hamburgers. When she plans the Friday buffets, Holmes goes with different themes. For example, at a recent buffet they served Mexican food. “This upcoming Friday we will serve liver and chicken at the buffet,” Holmes said, noting they like to try a variety of foods. Holmes grew up in Williams Lake and Quesnel and has been working at the restaurant for 22 years. She started off as a dishwasher, became a cook and nine years ago when the previous manager left, she got the position. “It’s like a big family here at the Cariboo Friendship Society,” Holmes said. “Everybody looks out for each other.” The restaurant is fully open to the public, and staff also prepare meals three times a day to send upstairs for the people who are living in the shelter at the CFS.
