A policing committee is being established in Williams Lake. The move follows recommendations made by the auditor general of local government’s policing audit that was released last month. The policing committee will consist of Mayor Walt Cobb as chair, one city councillor and alternate appointed by council, one Cariboo Regional District director and alternate from Area D, E or F, one First Nations representative each from the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council and the Carrier Chilcotin Tribal Council, and the leader of a community policing organization in the region as a member at large. “We think it’s a good idea to have input from surrounding communities,” Cobb said, noting the committee will not involve a “huge public process,” but will be a small and focused working group. Coun. Scott Nelson said forming the committee is a very important step because a significant amount of crime is committed by high-risk and prolific offenders. The committee will have a “certain amount of accountability” with its process and will have to develop a structure and a strategic plan, Coun. Laurie Walters said.

Neglected baby adopted and thriving, mother says Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A mother convicted of assaulting her infant son and failing to provide him with the necessaries of life wants people to know that’s not the end of the story. “I don’t want my son’s story to get lost in translation,” the 24-year-old woman said Wednesday after the story of her Feb. 26 conviction ran in the Tribune. “My son was adopted by a couple I know who couldn’t have children. He’s been with them since December 2013 and the adoption was finalized last month.” The woman, referred
to as SH to protect her son N’s identity, said it is an open adoption. She can see N every six months, she talks with him through social media, sends him presents and buys him Halloween costumes. “His parents and I have a great relationship and he knows I’m his mommy,” she said. N will turn five years old in September and is on par with children his age, SH said. “He’s intelligent, and has no health issues at all, except he was born with a lazy eye but that’s about it.” SH said when she discovered she was pregnant at 19 she wanted to
keep her child and didn’t consider putting him up for adoption. “I thought I could raise a child,” she said. Looking back now she said she’s learned what she did was wrong and how she could have fixed it. Her failure to make sure N was eating properly was due to her misconception that babies only need to be fed when they are crying, she said. The adoption wasn’t something SH asked for at first, but once the doctors and social workers involved determined N wasn’t thriving in her care, he was placed in foster care by the time he was seven
months old. “Three months later they wanted me to do all these things to get him back, but I was too depressed,” SH recalled. “They let me have him in the summer of that year but I couldn’t handle being a single mom and he was in respite more than he was with me.” Before his first birthday, N was removed permanently and within a few months SH was charged with assault and failing to provided necessities of life. “I don’t remember a lot of that first year. It was pretty blank and black from the depression,” SH said. “The
police have it on record that I had a black out and briefly shook him and the guy I was with took him out of my hands, smacked me up the side of the head. I snapped out of it and didn’t even know what I had done until it was over.” After she was charged, SH participated in a family group conference with her lawyer, the birth father who had not been in the picture since half way through the pregnancy, and the Ministry of Children and Family Development and their lawyer. “I went home and I thought if someone’s got to adopt my baby I
want to see if it can be someone I know,” SH said. The adoption was put in motion in the summer of 2013, N was placed with the couple in December of that year, and the adoption was finalized last month. SH encourages other women suffering with depression to ask for help. “I have had depression since I was in Grade 7 that was never dealt with,” SH said. When the baby was born SH found herself “terrified” of him, she recalled. “I didn’t touch him very much. I was kind of scared of my son.”
RH, a man she moved in with a week before N’s birth, tried to get her some help, but she was stubborn and too scared, she said. Her wake up call came in May 2013 when she was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder from her own abandonment issues. To combat that, she now takes medication for depression and she sees counsellors regularly. SH is awaiting sentencing on one count of assault and another of failing to provide the necessaries of life in the matter.
West Fraser to plant thousands of trees in Boitanio Park Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer West Fraser Mills Ltd. will be planting 2,100 trees in Boitanio Park as a legacy project. “We wanted to do something to celebrate our 60th anniversary in Williams Lake,” said West Fraser Plywood
Plant general manager Dave Walgren during a presentation to city council at its regular meeting Tuesday. The area where the Yellow Ponderosa Pine trees will go is near the dog park and will cover about 1.53 hectares, said Guy Burdikin, silviculture supervisor for the company.
“We just found out this morning, the proposed irrigation project funding for the city fell through so our proposal is to employ our summer students in the summer to water the trees,” Burdikin said. The trees will come from the Southern Interior so they should be well conditioned

Doctors are finding that many of their patients research their medical problems on-line and often come to a doctor visit armed with pages of printouts. The source of some of this research is often troublesome and unreliable. If you are going to get information from the internet, look for sites with “edu” in their addresses. There are too many “too good to be true” sites out there, and most often they are. With more and more Canadians being diagnosed with diabetes, it’s good to be aware of some of the warning signs you might have it. These include: unusual thirst, frequent urinating, weight change (up or down), extreme fatigue, blurred vision, frequent or recurring infections, slow healing of cuts and bruises and tingling of hands and feet. See your doctor if you are concerned. Pregnancy requires an increased calorie intake. Usually it’s about 100 calories per day during the first trimester and 300 calories per day for the second and third trimesters. A variety of food from all food groups is best. As well, low-impact exercise (like walking and swimming) will help keep body weight in check. We encourage you to get to know your pharmacist as you do your doctor. And we hope you choose us as your pharmacist. Add us to your healthcare team.

that, Walgren said. Burdikin told council in the future the city should consider planting a row of deciduous trees along the bank at the top of the park closest to Highway 97 to protect other trees in the park from salt spray used during the winter months . “When you are up
there you can see there is mortality basically from the salt weep coming off the highway,” Burdikin said. “It won’t impact the deciduous trees because they will have their leaves off in the winter months and they will act as a break because the salt spray comes in tumbling off the road.”

A. We always encourage our buyers to get “preapproved” by their lending institution. This means that once you have selected a bank or mortgage company that you provide the preliminary information so that the lender can tell you the price point of where you can borrow. There is no initial charge for this service. Pre-approved is a tremendous help when you are shopping for a home because it allows you to shop with confidence and you will know exactly what you can afford and how much the monthly payments will be. It strengthens your offer because sellers will know that you can afford to purchase their home. If you have any Real Estate-related questions you’d like answered here, please contact me any time.

After she spoke at the launch, a dancer from the Ivory Coast grabbed Gordon to dance on the stage with two Nepalese dancers. “We were up there dancing and laughing our heads off. It was so fun and the crowd was completely engaged. It was wonderful.” Gordon also said it was “incredibly shocking” to see posters of herself on display that were larger than life, and have perfect strangers come up and want a photo taken with her and the posters. The posters say Gordon’s from Rossland where she was living up until a few years ago when she moved permanently to the Chilcotin to live with her partner, Dr. Rob Coetzee.

added. When asked why she thinks people do humanitarian work, Gordon said because in the midst of seeing all the suffering and difficulty and hardship that people are undergoing, you also see the best of people. “It’s a real honour to work alongside those people and to just get that richness in your spirit of having so much amazing goodness around you. I’ve said it a million times that when I go away on a mission and I come back it always changes me in a good way to be a better person.” During the launch in Vancouver, Gordon met people from Nepal and West Africa who came up and thanked her for helping their people.

A Chilcotin nurse practitioner is back in the public eye, this time for a Canadian Red Cross awareness campaign. Patrice Gordon made headlines after she volunteered with the Canadian Red Cross during the Ebola outbreak in Africa two winters ago, and again last summer when she went to Nepal after the earthquake. Gordon is one of 10 Canadians being featured in a project titled Faces of Humanity with images that will be displayed on posters and billboards across Canada. On March 4, Gordon attended an unveiling of the project at Lansdowne Centre in Vancouver and returned to the Cariboo Chilcotin later that day feeling very honoured. She told the Tri-

Recognizing women’s rights We once again recognized the women in our world on International Women’s Day Tuesday. Sure, we recognize them every day. They are our mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and colleagues. So if we recognize them every day, do we still need an International Women’s Day? Hasn’t it pretty much been accepted that we need equality between the sexes? That women deserve the same rights as the rest of us? Yes. The answer to all those questions is yes. Granted, we’ve come a long way since the United Nations invited their member states to proclaim March 8 as the official UN Day for Women’s Rights and World Peace in 1977, but women are still, throughout the world, well behind men in terms of their rights and privileges. Even here in Canada, where we value women’s equality much more than some other places around the world, federal Status of Women critic Sheila Malcomson issued a statement yesterday
saying we need to do even better. And she’s right. “Indigenous women are still seven times more likely to be murdered than non-indigenous women. Poverty rates among single mothers and senior women are increasing and women continue to make only 77 per cent of what men earn for work of equal value,” reads Malcomson’s statement, before calling for the government to play “a crucial role” in advancing gender equality by creating strong social programs, including access to affordable housing, childcare, healthcare, and legal aid. Those are things that benefit us all, whether we are women — who are still harassed, assaulted and abused at far higher rates than men — or not. So, yes. International Women’s Day is still important. Because in making the world a better place for women, we make the world a better place for everyone. And don’t we all want to live in a better world?

Hospitality second to none on the Guave Route Last week here in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, we were “guided” towards the edge of an area where apparently poppies abound and the drug cartels compete to rule. We were there to see a Mezcal factory. We were treated to a fantastic sampling of high-end mezcal right out of the barrel, being welcomed into the home of an elderly producer of this growing export product. Mezcal is a distilled alcoholic drink made from the maguey plant, a form of agave. It is ovencooked and has a smoky flavour. Our guide, whose nickname was “Natcho,” was a man we met the last time we were here and

who took me in the backcountry on horseback behind the beach/ tourism areas of the city. He had explained how people on the small farms and orchards still farm like they used to on
small plots of 10-30 acres after land reform, which followed the revolution. We travelled by local buses one and a half hours to get to our destination, the town of Villacitos, where we toured a mezcal factory, not operating because of the season. Our guide translated long explanations into simple English. On the street our guide ran into one of his cowboy (charro) buddies and we were invited to a Friday evening gathering where horses and cattle were on show. We were treated to the host’s show of his “dancing” horses. Cold Coronas were served — never a warm or empty beer. Our
host said “Mi casa es su casa”— “My house is your house.” A traditional meal is pork cooked (deep fried) over an open fire in a large pot. The skin was served first then the meat in a chili sauce. I have never tasted pork as flavourful, adorned by lettuce and additional hot sauces. Cold beer cools the hot chilis. We were taken on a tour of a new high-end hotel to open in June. Some families in the town have a dream of a tourist route based on the showcasing of Mezcal production from beginning to the ultimate tasting and drinking. Keep some of the best here,
they are thinking and add value to the experience, rather than export it and serve second best to the tourists. We were treated to the dream in its partial realization as the first foreign visitors to see the hotel in this small town on what is to be the “Guave Route.” The hospitality was second to none. Next time: Charro Rodeo. David Zirnhelt is a member of the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association and chair of the advisory committee for the Applied Sustainable Ranching program which started at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake this January.

Country’s premiers do the carbon shuffle Premier Christy Clark had her dancing shoes on as yet another “climate change” meeting ended in disarray in Vancouver last week. “This is not the end,” Clark assured reporters after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the premiers emerged with no agreement on a national minimum carbon price. No kidding. Trudeau declared victory by announcing the unanimous consent to a “Vancouver Declaration,” which basically pays lip service to the concept of “carbon pricing” and kicks another grand federal election promise down the road. As the rest headed for jets waiting at Vancouver airport, Clark expressed the hope that the public would say “they got together and they made progress.” Did they? Let’s take a look. Going into the Whistler-Vancouver stop on Trudeau’s globetrotting glamour tour, Clark correctly noted that it’s other provinces that need to make progress. B.C. has a clear price on carbon emissions; it’s been held at $30 a tonne since Clark succeeded its creator, Gordon Campbell. Clark’s advice for other premiers is to follow Campbell’s example of a revenue-neutral carbon tax, offset by income tax reductions. You won’t build public support for a carbon tax that makes people poorer, she said. Of course that’s what Alberta is doing, at a time when many residents are getting poorer already. Alberta’s NDP government plans to match the rate

of B.C.’s carbon tax within two years and spend the proceeds. Other premiers have more creative definitions for pricing carbon. Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil pointed to transmission lines and power purchases from the Muskrat Falls dam under construction in Labrador, to substitute hydro for coal-fired power. The highest electricity prices in Canada are their “carbon pricing” plan. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall pointed to SaskPower’s Boundary Dam carbon capture and storage project. It is the world’s first coal-fired power station to capture carbon dioxide after combustion. The CO2 is sold to oilfield operators who inject it into declining wells to push more oil out, and the project intends to capture sulphur dioxide and fly ash to process and sell for other industrial uses. Wall is the only Canadian leader to state a couple of inconvenient truths. The purpose of this exercise is to reduce carbon emissions, not to raise tax revenues.
And now is the worst possible time to impose more taxes on the oil and gas industry. Clark’s stand-pat strategy on the B.C. carbon tax is going to change this year, as positioning begins for the 2017 election. A B.C. government advisory panel has recommended a 33 per cent increase, conveniently starting in 2018, with annual increases after that. The current seven-cent-perlitre carbon tax on gasoline sold in B.C. is hardly a deterrent these days, as pump prices have tumbled and could stay low for
years to come. And with a fragile economy, it seems unlikely that a big boost in carbon taxes will find favour with voters a year from now. The B.C. NDP is trying to rebuild its credibility on climate policy. NDP leader John Horgan tried to revise the party’s history, claiming in yearend interviews that the NDP didn’t oppose the carbon tax, only making it revenue neutral rather than spending the money on green initiatives, as Alberta wants to do. Alas, the NDP’s “axe the tax”
campaign going into the 2009 election is a matter of record. The party’s election platform warned that Campbell’s plan “increases taxes for average families by tripling the gas tax” to its current level. Last week the NDP issued a news release denouncing Clark for presiding over increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LIONS HIT BACK WITH SERIOUS MESSAGE

Spring time gets cooking and creative juices flowing Perhaps it’s the longer days, maybe warmer temperatures, but something has kicked my cooking imagination into a higher spatula. Especially on the barbecue. The herbs that are growing in my garden, along with the many different types of plants that are now peeking out of the warm earth, help get me into the spring spirit and the start of a new barbecue season. Last week, on a nice warm evening, I decided it was time to get the old barbecue heated and do some cooking. I had some New Zealand lamb
Ken’s Country Kitchen
with Ken Wilson
chops in the fridge and thought that would make a nice, tasty dinner. I had a container of mango
peach juice and poured about a cup into a large plastic bag. I salted and peppered the chops, added a pinch of allspice, coarsely chopped three large cloves of garlic, a little bit of brown sugar and put everything in the bag, then into the fridge. I did score the lamb to allow the marinade to get sucked into the tasty meat. I put the meat on the barbecue when the temperature was 400 degrees. I did each side at that heat for about five minutes, then turned the barbecue down to 300 and cooked it for another 40 minutes.
It was perfectly done with just a hint of pink in the larger pieces. That was such a taste bud success, my body wanted more the next night. There were a couple of thick pork chops in the freezer so I pulled them out, then thawed them and put on a tomato paste, a pinch of allspice, dried oregano, two large cloves of garlic, ground black pepper and ground sea salt. I put these in a cave I made out of tin foil, along with a little garlic olive oil, poked some holes in the tin foil to get in some of the wood chip flavour I put directly
on the heat. If I keep eating like this, I might even gain some needed weight. It’s the spring thing that is stirring my Ken Wilson crazy concoctions and my taste buds don’t mind it a bit. I like this time of the year when it’s warm. It makes me feel like a rejuvenated juvenile . Don’t forget to turn your clocks ahead this weekend. Bye for now and Gooood Cooking.

COMMUNITY BUILDERS
Every loonie counts in CDC Mile of Change campaign Every little bit counts whether it is buying locally to support our local economy or fundraising to help a community service organization. That is the opinion of Cindy Nelson at Dockside Haircuts who has jumped on board with a campaign of her own to support the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre’s Mile of Change campaign. It may be a small piece of the Mile of Change road but Nelson’s fundraiser fits in nicely with the CDC’s Mile of Change campaign to raise $60,000 one loonie at a time, says CDC intake manager Coleen Onofrechuk This is Nelson’s fifth anniversary of opening Dockside Haircuts on First Avenue North. Every year on her anniversary she has held a fundraiser for a different non-profit community group. This year she chose the CDC. For her campaign Nelson is raffling a Wahl Twirl to Curl, curling iron valued at $150 for a loonie a ticket. The draw will be on April 30.
CDC intake manager Coleen Onofrechuk (left) helps Cindy Nelson at Dockside Haircuts to kick off her loonie raffle on a hair dryer to help the CDC with its Mile of Change campaign to raise $60,000 to enhance children’s services at the centre. “All of the money goes to the CDC,” says Nelson, who will also
add her own donation to the pot. People can of course
buy as many loonie tickets as they like on the hair dryer. Nelson also encourages people to shop locally to support our local economy. Onofrechuk explains that the Mile of Change campaign began last May during the opening of the CDC’s new autism centre. She says the Mile of Change campaign invites people to donate a loonie in change to help change a child’s life. A loonie is an inch wide and it takes 63,360 loonies to make up a mile, she explains. Using that equation they rounded down the campaign to raising $60,000. So far she says the CDC has raised $45,000 toward that goal through many small donations and fundraising efforts such as Nelson’s, and larger fundraising events such as the CDC’s annual Diamond Dinner. “The Mile of Change campaign will help to enhance services provided by the CDC,” Onofrechuk says.

Entertainment Culture
Cabaret captivating and upsetting Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer She dyes her hair burgundy red, paints her nails green and pretty much does whatever she has to do to get a name for herself in Berlin’s 1931 club scene. In the musical Caba-
ret, Sally Bowles lives blissfully blind to a whole lot of social ills leading up to the Second World War. Seeing the dress rehearsal of the Studio Theatre’s production of Cabaret Monday evening reminded me of how much I loved the 1970s movie ver-
Cabaret’s choreographer Jennifer McPhee as Helga in a scene from the musical with Master of Ceremonies Matthew Granlund (back left) and William Wallace as Hans/ Max. The musical has been in production since early last November and danced onto the Studio Theatre stage this week.
sion, with Liza Minnelli and all of its colourful song and dance routines. I found myself smiling and laughing with the characters through the first half of the play, but ultimately sad and crestfallen by the end realizing how close world conditions now resemble those pre-Second World War times. Globally and at home we continue to struggle with issues around oppression, poverty, economic disparity, religious and racial intolerance, abuse and exploitation of women, drug abuse, abortion, homosexuality, transgender identification, and freedom of expression, all brought fearlessly to the stage in Cabaret. All of these issues are writ large in our international and local politics today and one wonders if world leaders will ever be able to bring peace to the world, or are we headed ultimately for another global war. I have watched a lot of Studio Theatre productions over the years, but I don’t think I have ever seen one where every cast member seems to be absolutely perfect for the role they play, and playing the role so beautifully. Hats off to director Sandi Alaric for pulling this timely production together in such a wonderful way and to all of her backstage
helpers, music and dance directors and of course the cast and band. All I can say is “absolutely amazing.” I left the dress rehearsal elated and crushed at the same time. Kathy MacDonald is absolutely incredible in the part of Sally Bowles. She exudes the enthusiasm of a young girl determined to make her mark in the entertainment world no matter what the cost, blind to the reality of the world around her. If the play has one message I would say it is to be fearless in (peacefully) expressing your opposition to social injustice, racism, intolerance and abuse. Cabaret is on stage at the Studio Theatre for its regular run this weekend and March 16-19. Dinner theatre events will be held at the Elk’s Hall Friday, March 25 and Saturday, March 26. The

This week, as the world recognized International Women’s Day, we were once again reminded of humankind’s shameful history of reducing people to something less than they were created to be. Human beings are irreducible! The Scriptures tell us that each person is a unique and infinitely important creation of God. Yet, too often we reduce others to an oversimplified caricature of who they truly are. By reducing someone in this manner we make them less than human; we reduce them to a mere set of descriptors. A common example of this is when a group of men watch a woman walk by and then comment on her as an assemblage of parts, “Look at the headlights on that one. “Wow, nice rear end! Those legs go on forever. Too bad she didn’t have a prettier face or blond hair.” We have reduced a vibrant living soul to an assembly of body parts. Subtler is our attitude when we reduce someone to a stereotype with the deconstructing phrase, “What do you expect? They are just a _________.” We glibly reduce a person, gloriously created in God’s
PARSONS PEN BY REVEREND BUBBA image, to something less than human. I remember attending my first art exhibit as a teen. Some of the art I considered to be amazing in detail, colour and beauty. Other pieces, I judged to have been created by the gallery owner’s young child. Much to my surprise, I saw most of the patrons of the gallery flocking around the childish pieces and raving about how “Magnificent” they were. Later, I learned that painter of the more simplistic paintings was quite famous and he has a powerful life story that drew people to him. People valued his art because they valued his life and story. I learned an important lesson that day,
“How you treat a creation reflects how you feel about the creator.” God created us in his image. Human beings are bearers of the Divine image. Often we fail to see this image and instead concentrate on a more superficial difference. Many times we ignore the beauty of creation when we deal with one another. We first recognize a person as a skin colour or an ethnic culture. This leads us to reducing people to a cultural norm or a bigoted stereotype. When a human being is mistreated, objectified, or neglected they are treated as less than human and these actions are against God. Because how you treat a creation reflects how you feel about the Creator. To be a Christian is to work for a new humanity. Jesus commanded his followers to feed, clothe and take care of those in need. All people are fellow image bearers created in the image of God. Some may make a few more mistakes or wrong turns but all are created by God for a purpose. When we love people we love God. People are His creation… Irreducible.

Researcher eager to recover winter bat info In southern and coastal B.C. and even into southeast Alaska, up to eight species of bats have been recorded flying around during winter months, sometimes at temperatures well below freezing, she said. In these areas, some bats are finding insects to eat in winter, others are using winter flights to find mates for breeding, and still others switch between roosts as weather conditions change. With increasing inland latitude and elevation, Lausen is finding fewer bats and fewer species flying outside in winter, presumably
Wildlife Conservation Society Special to Tribune/Advisor The Cariboo Chilcotin is now part of a new study designed to save bat populations in B.C. from the deadly White Nose Syndrome. The disease is having a devastating impact on bat populations in Eastern Canada and researchers fear the disease will migrate to B.C. within the next 10 years. In efforts to get a better handle on the B.C. situation bat specialist Dr. Cori Lausen is conducting winter research in B.C. including the Williams Lake area. White Nose Syndrome kills bats while they hibernate in winter. “Bats are vital to healthy ecosystems, and we depend on them in our forestry and agricultural industries,” Lausen said in a recent report. “We need them as much as they now need us.” This past fall Lausen deployed bat detectors, devices that record bat ultrasound, at strategic places in the Chilcotin region. She has had the help of local biologists and citizen scientists. Becky Cadsand and Julie Steciw of Ministry of Forest Lands and Natural Resource Operations in maintaining some of Lausen’s bat

Given the difficulties in trying to study these elusive creatures in winter, Dr. Lausen says little has been known about bat hibernation, especially in western Canada where there are 16 species and vast landscapes. She said bats are overwintering in log piles, rock crevices, mines, caves, trees, and even in some buildings. They remain largely dormant in these cold, but not freezing, winter shelters called hibernacula. Their cold bodies burn very little of their stored fat each day. She discovered during her earlier research in Southern Alberta that every few weeks bats will break their winter hibernation and fly around in winter for a few minutes or hours at a time.

Ten years later, she and her students have uncovered striking new information about what bats do in winter.

because of colder conditions and hibernacula whose entrances become plugged with snow. Bat detectors placed deep into caves by volunteers (see BatCaver.org) are showing that bats flying during winter do so without leaving the cave. The core reason that all bats warm their bodies up periodically during hibernation to fly around is still not understood, but Lausen hypothesizes that all hibernating bats have in common the need to prevent muscle deterioration over winter. Spring flights to find insect prey after winter fat stores are used up likely
depend on well-maintained muscle tone. She hopes one of her next students will tackle this question. In the meantime, Lausen looks forward to downloading the data from this winter’s bat detectors. In early May she will collect her bat detectors and analyze the data. “As we put these pieces of the puzzle together, we will learn enough about B.C. bats to help them in the fight they face against White Nose Syndrome,” Lausen said. Lausen is planning to do a presentation at the Tatla school during her spring visit.

Mo Hamilton with some of the work she has hanging in the Station House Gallery this month as part of the show titled Awakening and Repose. Both the main gallery and the upstairs gallery feature Hamilton’s work along with the work of Simone Benjamin in this joint show exploring the world of creating abstract art.
Awakening and Repose reflections in expression Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The show Awakening and Repose on this month at the Station House Gallery is all about the adventures of two women exploring the world of abstract expressionism. Mo Hamilton of Prince George and Simone Benjamin of Williams Lake met and became friends while attending an Arts Wells summer festival of the arts workshop.
From there they decided to have a show together featuring their explorations into the world of creating abstract art. “It is an adventure,” Hamilton explained to the audience attending the show’s opening last week. “You are going to a place you have never been before. “It’s a little scary, but there is the excitement of exploring the unknown.” She describes creating abstract art as an
intuitive process, a bit like mining what goes on in your own mind. “It is almost like a call and response rather than trying to create a tree or a house.” At times she says it is a matter of facing what is going on in your heart, mind and soul, facing your fears and demons and celebrating things that come along the way. While Benjamin’s work is very organic and flowing, born out of a love for garden-

ing, Hamilton’s work is more hard edge. Her experience with puppetry and theatre influence the style and format of her paintings which are created in mixed media/acrylics with layers of paint and collages applied and partially removed during the process. Hamilton has lived in several communities around B.C. Her creations can be found in galleries and private collections throughout the province.

Lake City Falcons rugby player Carleigh Walters zips around an opponent during the Las Vegas Sevens while Madison Blusson (back left) follows up in support. The Falcons finished third at the event, held March 4-6.
Falcons third at Las Vegas Sevens Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Despite the already hot climate of Las Vegas, most teams couldn’t handle the heat of the Lake City Falcons girls sevens rugby team at the Las Vegas Sevens last week. The Falcons dispatched their opposition in the high school girls open division, outscoring their opponents 106-0 on day one of the competition, then winning in the quarterfinal, 29-0,
before running into a tough Eastern Ontario Rugby Union squad in the semifinal where they fell 35-7. “The girls played hard the whole time,” head coach Morley Wilson said. “It was a good tournament.” The Falcons opened the tournament in pool play with a 27-0 shutout over Texoma (Texas and Oklahoma) Rugby Club. They then hammered the Minnesota Tundra, 38-0, before closing out the day with a 41-0 shellacking of the Flat-
irons. “We were ranked No. 1 coming out of pools, then we played No. 8 Atlantis,” Wilson said. Again, the Falcons proved too much for their international competition where they picked up a 29-0 win in the cup quarterfinal. The cup semifinal loss granted the Falcons a thirdplace finish in the tournament. “It started off close,” Wilson said. “We got a few breaks, they got a few

breaks. They had some top Canadian players on their team.” The tournament, which showcases top rugby talent from around the world in men’s, women’s and boys’ and girls’ high school divisions, also proved valuable to a number of Wilson’s players. “There was some interest from U.S. universities in our girls,” Wilson said, adding several invites to apply for U.S. scholarships. Laura Pfleiderer, Car-
leigh Walters, Taylor Sager and Emma Feldinger were also invited to attend Atavus, a prestigious U.S. rugby camp focused on skill development. “It was awesome the fact they were getting so much attention,” Wilson said. “It’s nice to be noticed.” The team is now preparing for a seven-a-side tournament in Cowichan April 15-16. They will then participate in the B.C. Rugby Provincial Championships May 26-28 in Kamloops.

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer BC Lions’ players TDre Player and Rolly Lumbala hit people for a living on the football field. On Wednesday, however, the message they delivered to Lake City Secondary School high school students broke far from the mould of what a stereotypical football player is.

seem to play them right and limited their chances and we scored at opportune times and it was a great game for us.” Francis Johnson, Nathan Zurak and Kurtis Bond lit the lamp for the Stampeders. Ian Smith (2), Zach Davies, Mark Arnold and Adam DeVries scored for the Steeleheads. Smithers outshot the Stampeders 49-40 in the contest. David Little picked
up the win in goal for Smithers, while Justin Foote was between the pipes for Williams Lake. Following the game, Steelheads’ centreman Brendan DeVries was named CIHL playoff MVP. The win also grants the Steelheads a berth to the Coy Cup senior men’s AA provincial championships in Terrace from March 22-26. - With files from the Smithers Interior News

Lacrosse star visits lakecity schools Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Three lakecity elementary schools were introduced to the game of lacrosse last Wednesday by Canadian women’s star Naomi Walser. Three 30-minute classes at Cataline elementary, Mountview elementary and Ma-
rie Sharpe elementary were conducted by Walser, a resident of Cobble Hill, B.C. and former Canadian Senior Women’s player and member of the Haudenosaunee Nation (Six Nations) team at the 2009 World Cup in Prague. “This is teaching them some basic skills and promot-
ing the game of lacrosse,” Walser said. “Lacrosse is our national sport. A lot of people don’t know that. And it’s a very old game.” She said First Nations in Canada were playing lacrosse up to 500 years ago to settle disputes. She told students lacrosse is fun and
great physical activity. Skills worked on were picking up the ball, cradling the ball, passing and catching. Wednesday evening Walser hosted a girls only lacrosse night at Marie Sharpe elementary where 45 girls turned out to try the sport.
