Runners at marathon OK

Williams Lake runners racing in the Boston Marathon Monday are fine, along with their family mem-bers, confirmed their co-workers Monday.

Sheldon Manchur, 28, and his girlfriend Shelby Moon, 23, were competing in the marathon. Shel-don finished the race in two hours, 46 minutes and 28 seconds, about an hour before two explosions detonat-ed at the finish line. The blasts have sent at least 100 people to hospital and killed at least two people.

Sheldon’s parents Fred and Mon-ica Manchur and Shelby’s dad Gord and stepmother Cindy Moon are all OK, said Sheldon’s co-workers at Chuck’s Auto.

Electoral office open in Williams Lake

The Cariboo Chilcotin District Elections BC office opened April 8 in Williams Lake.

Located at 197C Fourth Ave. in Barnard Square, the office is open to the public Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Deputy District Electoral Of-ficer Linda Isfeld, who held the post in the 2009 election, said she has a great staff ready, willing and eager to help the public.

“We will also be hiring approxi-mately 200 electoral officials,” Is-feld said Monday.

Advance voting will take place at the Gibraltar Room, May 8 to May 11 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and general voting will occur at the same location on May 14, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

If people are going to be away on the dates set for either advance voting or election day, they can vote at the office as an absentee.

“If people live out of town they can also call and request a mail-in voting package,” Isfeld said. The packages will be mailed to the voter and must be received by the office by general voting day.

People who are not registered to vote can do so online by going to www.elections.bc.ca or phone 1-800--661-8683.

In Williams Lake and the Cari-boo region, some voters are repre-sented by Cariboo North.

Several maps line the Elections BC centre’s walls if people are unsure whether they fall within the Cariboo Chilcotin or Cariboo North riding.

Cariboo North District Elec-toral Officer Wayne Rodier said the Cariboo North riding will have advance polls at the Ramada Inn, Williams Lake. General vot-ing polls on May 14 for Cariboo North voters will be held at the Ramada, Sugar Cane Gym, 150 Mile House Fire Hall and Wild-wood School.

Of the 23,316 eligible voters in

Cariboo North, 6,262 of those vot-ers live in the southern part of the riding, with about 3,300 voters living in Williams Lake through

to 150 Mile. “People can also go vote at any-

time after April 14 at any of our offices too,” Rodier said.

Williams Lake Stampede makes Clark’s address to the people

In an April 14 tele-vised film Christy Clark is depicted of-ficially opening the 2012 Williams Lake Stampede.

She’s seen greeting people, square danc-ing, and riding a horse next to Montreal Ca-nadiens goalie Carey Price.

“We went up to Wil-liams Lake to open up the rodeo,” Clark said in the film. “I’m sit-ting on my horse and waving to everybody and my horse suddenly turns around and starts galloping.”

She hadn’t been on a horse for 15 years, and said it was the scari-est moment she’s had since she became pre-mier.

“Seriously, I sit in the legislature and lis-ten to those guys yak yak yak and yelling at me and I think, ‘you’re not as scary as that horse.’”

The 30-minute vid-eo, Strong Economy. Secure Tomorrow, was paid for ($100,000) by the Liberals, and fea-tured various Liberal spokespersons and supporters.

Under the BC Jobs

Plan, Clark said Asia trade was up by 21.5 per cent, mineral ex-pansion by 47 per cent and that forestry man-ufacturing sales were up by 23 per cent.

Reacting to the film, Cariboo Chilcotin Liberal Constituency Association president Bill Carruthers said he is pleased with Clark as a speaker.

“I like the way she comes across commu-nication wise. She’s trying to be folksy, ob-viously there’s an is-sue in terms of people warming up to her.”

He said he goes back to whether or not Clark has what it takes to run a province with a $40 billion budget.

“Let’s not focus on whether she’s pretty,

nice or kind. Does she have what it takes to run this province?”

In his estimation Clark does.

“The B.C. Liberals are trying to come up with a balanced budget and trying to stimulate future business oppor-tunities so we don’t lose people so we’ll have an inflow into the province not an out-

flow,” Carruthers said, adding Clark’s on the right track.

Carruthers is also the financial agent for the election.

Cariboo Chilcotin NDP candidate Char-lie Wyse contested Clark’s claim for job creation in B.C.

“Since she has been premier there have been 34,800 jobs lost in the private sector and since the Liber-als have been in gov-ernment, 30,000 jobs have been lost in the forest industry while the Liberals continue to export raw logs.”

He also questioned Clark’s claim the NDP saddled the province’s children with debt.

“There’s absolutely no question that un-der the NDP it was the first time that B.C. re-ceived federal funds,” Wyse said, adding he also observed it was the only time that funding was received from Ottawa.

“It’s interesting to note that under the Liberals, the province has received money from Ottawa five times.”

Under the Liberal government, $27 bil-lion has been added to the debt, Wyse added.

“The estimated $800 million deficit for this year would add close to $1 billion more to that debt.”

Cariboo North Inde-pendent MLA candi-date Bob Simpson said the video politicized issues opposed to be-ing straight with Brit-ish Columbians.

“I think political parties of any stripe should be compelled to use the govern-ment’s own statistics because the B.C. sta-tistics taxpayer funded statistical arm then most of what the pre-mier claimed is simply not true.”

Simpson said B.C. is not the number one job creator, not the lowest tax regime and not the safe haven. “Statistics B.C. show that B.C. is a mid-pack province that is only fourth in job generation and fourth in terms of tax per capita,” Simpson said. “Under the last three months, B.C. is once again seeing a net migration out of B.C.

Cariboo Chilcotin Independent Gary Young said Clark’s video was a continu-ation of the “lies, de-ception, and hollow promises we’ve heard before.”

City of WL place brand will go to public consultationIn response to commu-

nity feedback over a pro-posed city place brand, Williams Lake City Council will undertake public consultation to al-low more opportunity for residents to provide feed-back, announced the city Friday.

Council recognizes and appreciates the full gallery of residents who attended the April 9 council meeting, as well as a large volume of feedback from a diverse group of residents.

The brand is designed to be available not only to the city for market-ing and communications initiatives, but also to lo-cal employers to use in their marketing efforts to attract workers, which assists in promoting the city. The proposed place brand concept and logo has been recommended by a project advisory committee (including in-dividuals with business,

education, government and other diverse back-grounds and local com-munity networks) as an effective brand concept that reflects the positive position, promise and personality to project to people both inside and outside our community.

“The feedback about the brand has been heard,” Mayor Kerry Cook said. “Never be-fore have I received feed-back from such a diverse group of people. The people of Williams Lake are passionate about our city, and that is good news. The city is always willing to listen, and I encourage everyone with an interest to participate in the upcoming public consultation. A brand must have community support to move forward, so please make sure your voice is heard.”

The schedule for pub-lic consultation will be finalized over the com-

ing weeks, and residents will be informed when public session will be

held. At the end of pub-lic consultation, a report will be prepared.

City and Soda Creek bands sign revenue agreements

Two new revenue-sharing agreements will enable the Wil-liams Lake Indian Band and Xatśūll First Nation (Soda Creek) to benefit from the ex-pansion of the Mt. Pol-ley mine east of Wil-liams Lake.

The agreements mean the two First Nations will share 35 per cent of the incre-mental mineral tax revenue collected each year by the province. Soda Creek will re-ceive 16.5 per cent and WLIB will receive 18.5 per cent of that 35 per cent.

“It is the first ECTA we’ve signed in our area,” Louie said from Victoria, where she and band councillor Rick Gilbert travelled for the official signing ceremony. “The agree-ment will enhance our economic develop-ment.”

While Louie does

not know at this point how much money the band will receive, she said there are no stipu-lations by government on how the money is

used. She couldn’t dis-

close specific plans either, however, con-firmed some of the money will go toward

supporting youth in education programs.

The agreement will endure through the proposed life of the mine, which is sched-

uled to operate until 2024.

If there are any new mineral finds then it will extend accord-ingly, Louie explained.

She also confirmed that if the Spanish Mountain Gold’s min-ing project, northeast of Williams Lake is realized, the band will pursue an ECDA for that project as well. “We have a par-ticipation agreement with Spanish Gold,” she said.

The newly signed ECTA falls within days of the WLIB signing a Participation and Co-operation Agreement with Gibraltar Mines Ltd. northeast of Wil-liams Lake. It also fol-lows 14 months after WLIB signed a Par-ticipation Agreement with Imperial Metals, the owner of Mount Polley.

“It’s good for our community and puts us on the forefront,” Louie said, adding it’s exciting for the band. “We haven’t benefited really from anything the federal govern-ment has ever done so we have to step up, start doing these proj-

ects and signing these agreements that ben-efit our community.”

The treaty process is so slow, she added.

In an issued state-ment, Xatśūll First Na-tion Chief Bev Sellars said: “We welcome this long-awaited ac-knowledgment of the environmental and economic interests that Xatśūll holds in our Stewardship Area.”

Aboriginal relations and reconciliation min-ister Ida Chong said ECTAs underscore the government’s commit-ment to helping First Nations meaningfully participate in, and ben-efit from, resource ac-tivity within their tra-ditional territory.

“It will help the WLIB build a better future for their own communities, while also supporting a mine expansion that will provide huge benefits to Williams Lake and the surrounding area,” Chong noted in a gov-ernment press release.

Memorial event honours Rayel MacDonald April 20On April 20, family

and friends will mark the one-year anniversa-ry of 20-year-old Rayel MacDonald’s passing.

MacDonald died after she and a friend were struck by a pick-up truck while walking across Carson Avenue on April 22, 2012 at 2:15 a.m. with a group of friends.

A graduate of Wil-liams Lake Second-ary School, MacDon-ald was enrolled in the nursing program at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake.

Held at the new memory garden on Carson Avenue below Williams Lake Second-

ary School, the memo-rial event will begin at 11 a.m.

Following some speeches, there will be performances by the Cariboo Chilcotin Youth Fiddlers, Jessica Williams and the band Calling April, featur-ing Lee Williams, Jose Salazar and Stephen Gregor.

“Our family just re-ally wanted for all of you to see the Mem-ory Garden that is be-ing created by many wonderful volunteers, along with The Wil-liams Lake Food Policy Council,” said Rayel’s mother Andrea Mac-donald. “We would also love for everyone

to see the basalt bench made in Squamish that we will be installed in Rayel’s memory. Our family has been dev-astated by the loss of Rayel, but we have all of you, walking by our sides, we know that we are never alone.”

There will be re-freshments, and brace-lets/keychains in Ray-el’s memory will be sold for $5 each.

Due to limited park-ing, please park at WLSS parking lot. Bring a chair if you like, sit down and sup-port the family, said Pam Herman of Moth-ers Against Drunk Drivers Williams Lake Chapter.

WL RCMP seek public’s help

City to hold public consultation on proposed hen and honeybee bylaws

The Williams Lake RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying two males involved in a bear spraying incident.

On March 31 at 1:15 a.m., the RCMP received a complaint of an assault that oc-curred in the school

yard of Marie Sharpe Elementary.

A group of six peo-ple were sprayed with bear spray by two male suspects.

The only description provided of the sus-pects is that one male was non-Caucasian, approximately five feet

six inches, wearing a black hoody, and pos-sibly between the ages of 16-18 years.

A second male was described as non-Caucasian, with dark brown hair, wearing a grey hoody with a dark coat and blue jeans.

The RCMP are ask-

ing for public assis-tance regarding this incident and encourage anyone who may have information regarding this assault or any oth-er crime to contact po-lice at 250-392-6211, or call Crime Stoppers at 1.800.222.TIPS (8477).

The City of Williams Lake will prepare sep-arate bylaws to allow for the keeping of hens and honeybees in city limits, and hold public consultations on the proposals.

In a report to coun-cil staff noted over the last few years city staff and council have been asked numerous times about the topics of back-yard chickens and beekeeping in res-idential areas of Wil-liams Lake.

“We’ve had a fair bit of interest from members of the com-munity,” said acting CAO Geoff Goodall. “We’ve done some initial investigation on what other com-munities are doing in B.C. and it appears that quite a number of them have bylaws dealing with both of these issues.”

Beekeeping and raising chickens in ur-ban settings is becom-ing quite popular, he

added.Staff suggested the

best approach is to do some research to cre-ate some model by-laws and then go out to the public for feed-back to see if the com-munity wants to go in that direction.

“When we bring bylaws back for first reading we will bring council a draft for communication and all the available op-portunities for public engagement,” Goodall explained.

Mayor Cook ac-knowledged the city is still at a very “pre-liminary” stage on the issue.

“I look forward to hearing from the com-munity,” she said.

Coun. Surinderpal Rathor raised concerns about the beekeeping.

“We can control the chickens and hens, no problem, but bees are a concern,” Rathor said, adding that he’s done some research of his own since the first discussion council had with staff about hens

and bees at the com-mittee of the whole meeting on March 26.

Some residents have told Rathor they don’t want to have bees in residential areas of the city and that they are tough to contain.

“At this point of time I cannot support the bees bylaw in the community because it could be very dan-gerous for any young child or a senior citi-zen. Bees are not go-ing to see who you are and are not usually in love with everybody.”

People who raise bees will have protec-tive equipment, but their neighbour prob-ably won’t, he said.

Coun. Sue Zacharias said she doesn’t know much about raising bees, however she is looking forward to the bylaws being brought to council.

“Chickens and bees get a bad rap, but it’s definitely something being talked about in other communities,” Zacharias said, adding she’s been receiving

more positive feed-back than negative.

The keeping of hens and bees support the Local Food and Agri-culture Strategic Prior-ity in the city’s official community plan, the city stated in a press release.

“Localizing food production has the po-tential to increase food security and reduce the city’s overall carbon footprint. In addition, hens can also help reduce lawn and gar-den pest populations, an environmentally friendly alternative to pesticides. Hens are also an effective way to minimize house hold waste, as they can be fed a wide variety of food scraps, which currently end up in the landfill.”

Coun. Ivan Bonnell said there are several regulatory guidelines the city would have to investigate.

The hens received council’s unanimous endorsement, while Rathor voted against the bees.

The group began its walk, each carrying balloons and wearing the autism puzzle awareness ribbon, from the CDC on Second Avenue, winding its way through residential areas of the city.

Mount Polley UsW members take strike vote

United Steelworkers members at Imperial Metals — Mount Polley Mine have voted over-whelming to allow their bargaining committee to call for strike action if necessary, as the union works to secure a new collective agreement.

The strike voted was

conducted from April 9 to 10, resulting in 96.3 per cent of members voting in favour.

Randy Gatzka, USW staff representative, said the union represents 275 workers at the mine.

The existing collec-tive agreement expired on Dec. 31, 2012. It was initially ratified in 2004, but then underwent a wage re-opener in 2007.

“From there it went forward until the end of 2012, so really from 2004, this is the first time employees have been able to bargain a collective agreement and put what’s impor-tant to them in front of the employer,” Gatzka said.

Outstanding issues include wages, RRSP contributions, and im-

provements to disability plans.

The union was in ne-gotiations with the com-pany from Sept. 18 until Mar. 29.

“It was going until the company said ‘that’s all.

“We felt they hadn’t addressed the major is-sues that we had priori-tized.

“Following that the company said ‘go get a

strike vote’ so we went out and got a strike vote,” Gatzka said.

He hopes the vote will show the company the workers are seri-ous about the proposals they’ve put forward.

Mediation is sched-uled for May 13 to 15.

Imperial Metals told the Tribune they would not comment on the strike vote.

Our Viewpoint

We’ve got plenty to offer

BC SPCA encourages penny donations to help animals

Some years ago, when the B.C. tourist industry began promoting the Gold

Rush Trail, Williams Lake came up with an ad that some thought missed the mark.

I grumbled about it to the mayor who said if I thought I could do bet-ter in 300 words, fly at it.

I couldn’t. The “good things” list was too long.

However, what’s good for tour-ists must be good for present and future residents, so let’s have a look at what attractions we have within our city limits.

I like the yin and yang of having B . C . ’ s o l d e s t continu-ing Art Society a l o n g with the b u s i -

est cattle shipping centre. The Wil-liams Lake Stampede really is world famous, thanks to previous mayors who worked hard to make it so. There is a campground on the grounds, (almost downtown) and you can stable horses here. We have the lake and the very special Scout Island Nature Centre on our door-step.

The creek valley, ideal for biking and hiking, is in our back yard. We can bird watch almost anywhere. We have a top notch golf course; tennis courts; a decent public recreation centre plus a number of private facil-ities (e.g. bowling alley, fitness cen-tres, skating rink); ball fields, people parks, even a dog park.

We have a thriving arts commu-nity. Both the Station House Gal-lery and the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin are well established.

There’s more but I’m running out of space and haven’t mentioned Thompson Rivers University; the dozens of clubs and organizations that serve a variety of interests; our more interesting shops; or how First Nations/ranching/rodeo are tied to the city’s history. And what about our famous Cariboo hospitality?

We grouse about what’s wrong with the city and often forget what’s right.

When councillors reconsider the place brand proposal, I hope they recognize that in many ways we have a unique community. It’s much more than a centre for outdoor sports.

Animal lovers can put the big jar of pennies they’ve been collect-

ing to good use this spring to help animals in need.

Select BC SPCA branches across the province will be col-lecting donations (pre-rolled pennies preferred) until May 31.

“Many p e o p l e have a jar of c o i n s sitting in a closet

or drawer in their home,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA.

“We are so grateful to anyone who gives their pennies to help animals in their community.”

Since the Royal Canadian Mint stopped distributing pen-nies on Feb. 4, the BC SPCA is hoping the phased out coin can make a big difference to dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters and more.

“Every penny counts,” says Chortyk. “We rely solely on do-nations to improve the welfare of animals in British Columbia.”

Participating SPCA branches include: 100 Mile House, Abbots-ford, Campbell River, Cowichan (Duncan), East Kootenay, Haida Gwaii, Kamloops, Kelowna, Na-naimo, Nelson, North Cariboo (Prince George), Parksville-Qualicum Beach, Prince Rupert, Powell River, Richmond, Shus-wap, South Okanagan-Similka-meen (Penticton), South Peace, Sunshine Coast, Trail, Vancou-ver, Victoria, West Vancouver and Williams Lake.

Some locations have partnered with local businesses who will match donations.

Engagement encouragedWith the provincial election campaign officially get-

ting underway today until general voting day May 14 it’s anticipated politics will be a main topic of conversation.

The Cariboo is represented by both the Cariboo-Chil-cotin and Cariboo North ridings, which means area resi-dents will hear from several candidates.

In Cariboo Chilcotin we have four candidates: Green Party Dustin Price of 100 Mile House, Independent Gary Young of Lac La Hache, Liberal Donna Barnett of 100 Mile House and NDP Charlie Wyse of Williams Lake. In Cariboo North we have Independent Bob Simpson of Quesnel, Liberal Coralee Oakes also of Quesnel and NDP Duncan Barnett of 150 Mile House. The Green Party said it isn’t running a candidate in Cariboo North because the party endorses Bob Simpson.

There are around 48,300 eligible voters in the two rid-ings so it’s hoped that voters will exercise their demo-cratic right on May 14, or at many of the advance polling opportunities.

The Tribune encourages voters to become informed about the candidates.

Two all-candidate events in Williams Lake have been

confirmed so far. On April 27, the Northern Real Estate Board and Council of Canadians Williams Lake Chapter will host an all-candidates forum at Williams Lake Sec-ondary School. Ross McCoubrey will be the moderator, and candidates will be asked questions that have been submitted and screened before the forum.

The Chamber of Commerce will host an Assembly of Candidates event on May 1 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Tour-ism Discovery Centre for voters to talk with candidates one on one.

Community engagement and dialogue is always wel-come and now that the writ has been dropped, the Tri-bune would like to remind readers of our election letter policy. As always, letters to the editor and comments through your Facebook account on www.wltribune.com, are open and we encourage our readers to debate the is-sues in our pages.

It is part of the democratic process. We remind all, however, that letters are for opinions and discussions, not blatant advertising of your candidate of choice or mean-spirited hammering of those you don’t like.

Will apologies matter?

Editor:

I meant no deception about ex-treme weather, global warming or runaway climate change. We need effective Canadian climate action started by 2015 in two years.

If global temperatures do not double to 1.6C by 2026 just 13 years from now, if they do not pass 2C by 2030 in 17 years, will it be climate gate or global disaster? Global GHG emissions grow exponentially two to three per cent per year. Two per cent growth means 570 ppm of CO2 by 2050. Considering feedback loops, 1,000 ppm of CO2 is possible by 2100. World Bank, IPCC, NOAA, NAS, IEA, CIA, have real concerns. Charles Keeling, Robert Hansen, Isaac Stern, Faith Birol, Bill McK-ibbon, Lester Brown, Al Gore, Jule Charney, David Schindler, Andrew Nikiforuk, Mark Jaccard, Andrew Weaver, Bill Ress, are no fools and are/were rightfully concerned for us.

Stupefying greenwashing can help market Canada’s fossil-fuel reserves globally before any corrective mea-sure can be taken by 2015. In this 2013 election, how likely will effec-tive Canadian climate action come about by 2015? Will Harper, Clark, Redford, Hall, Kent, Oliver, Lake, McQueen, Chevoldayoff and count-less promoters profiting on Canada’s fossil-fuels apologize to anyone after passing the tipping point of global warming? Will they admit pervasive fraud about the safety or dangers of Canada’s fossil-fuel reserves, devel-oped, marketed and consumed glob-ally?

Will it matter? Us along for the ride to a climate cliff, no apology can ever really matter or make prop-er amends for irreversible runaway global warming. “I’m so sorry my friend?” No corrective statements will make any difference to any of us. A cautionary tale? What must we each do to help ourselves by 2015? Acknowledge, accept, understand, stand up for universal democratic social justice action. We have two years. I swear it’s not too late. Ar-ticulate your voices for effective cli-mate action by 2015.

Land ownership debate datedEditor:

This whole debate over who owns Fish Lake in the media is invalid.

Anyone with half a brain (well, I guess that’s an exaggeration) can tell you the well-known con-cepts of shared borders and inter-twined histories of overlapping territories.

Bears, wolves, cougars and hu-mans from all sorts of different nations have traditionally lived like this since time immemorial.

This colonial idea of territorial ownerships of such ultimatums are culturally, scientifically and

legally invalid as shared borders were the norm in most, if not all, Aboriginal cultures.

Rambling on about who was here first is like a foolish person arguing with himself for only a fool argues with a fool, as every-body knows land claims are only valid as how things were in 1871.

Many African tribal nations land claims have been settled this way. The Bank of Nova Scotia has done a study that if Canada were to settle Aboriginal land claims this would free up red tape that hinders business opportu-nities between local non-native communities, Aboriginal commu-

nities and businesses.It’s also interesting that the

Harper government is under in-vestigation for censorship of the panel of environmental scientists. Never mind the fact scientists have discovered a toxic-eating bacteria that extrudes gold! One can produce gold now like home brew, theoretically.

It is so inspirational to hear so many Shuswaps, Chilcotins and many non-native youths who want to protect Fish Lake.

An Aboriginal rap artist called Illiano will be coming to Wil-liams Lake on April 20. Fact is, this whole conservative colonial

19th century style of territorial ownership of land claims, and how we deal with the environ-ment, resources and aboriginal communities, is so dated that it’s comparable to an old school they tore down to build the old school we know today.

It is so difficult for me to toler-ate or even discuss this subject to mindless parrots that mimic pro-paganda using emotionalism and sensationalism.

This is the 21st century. It’s time we act like it is.

New branding effort misses the markEditor:

The Republic of Life? What on earth has possessed city council to even think such a bizarre logo would bring tourists and business to this area?

Williams Lake has been a cow town since its inception. It hosts one of the biggest Stampedes in

Canada every year. It is one of the largest cattle shipping places in B.C. It is surrounded by cattle and dude ranches.

Its museum focuses on the ranch-ing industry and its history.

It houses the B.C. Cowboy Hall of Fame. These things are what Williams Lake is known for and what is appealing to visitors.

The cowboy logo is a much more suitable one and much more ap-pealing than a ‘Republic of Life,’ which doesn’t even make sense.

I hope the councillors will give their heads a good shake and look up the meaning of the word ‘repub-lic’ in the dictionary.

I realize that forestry and mining have also played a key role in the

development of the area. However, there are many other things, too, such as sport fishing, mountain bik-ing, etc., which attract both tourists and business, but please don’t for-get the importance of the Cariboo’s roots.

City, CRD should retain independent powerEditor:

The City of Nanaimo deserves congratulations for standing up for local jobs and democracy. By re-questing to be exempted from the Canada-European Union, Com-prehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).

There are no benefits to Cana-dian municipalities from CETA, being much like most trade agree-ments such as NAFTA that give away our rights to independent ac-tion on trade matters.

Most in fact allow us to be le-gally sued in court by global cor-

porations, foreign countries and individuals, from taking actions in our own interest.

As written, the CETA procure-ment rules would forbid a city, town, school board or other body included in the deal from prefer-ring one bidding firm over anoth-er, based on how much of the con-tent in a certain project was local or Canadian.

It is my understanding CETA would also ban municipalities from considering local develop-ment benefits when choosing between different bidding firms, whether they were Canadian or

European. There is surely no sense for

Canada or B.C. to take away im-portant job-creating tools from its cities by including them.

Local purchasing of goods and services is one of the last places where our local government can play a role in fostering sustainable local development, and hiring lo-cal people.

It is my understanding that it is up to the Province of British Co-lumbia to decide whether Nanai-mo and other cities will be bound by these rules.

Already I read that 40 municipal

councils, school boards or associa-tions across the country, including large cities like Toronto, Ham-ilton, Mississauga and Victoria, have sought similar protections.

I would think that the Cariboo Regional District, and Williams Lake city council (certainly as a Republic), would want to retain all the independent power they can by also requesting to be exempted from this new give-away power, in order to govern in our local inter-est.

Attack ads offensive; not going to sway votesEditor:

I, too, am a concerned citizen. I obviously do not belong to your organization.

Your present public behaviour is not up to the standards I set for myself.

These attacks ads on a politi-cian are bullying and definitely not something to sway my vote.

I can’t see any value in using fear and guilt to garner votes and am offended that you would do so.

As I said before, this is not

what I, as a voter, am looking for. It makes me question the val-

ue of democracy, when we the citizens (employers of the politi-cians) are out celebrating because something we didn’t want (and weren’t asked about either) is fi-nally resolved after four years of

hard work on our part and four years of avoidance on their part.

Democracy is like a river, if we keep polluting it, what is left?

Roundtable considers moving Salmon Festival date

Regular meetings of the Horsefly River Roundtable have been changed to every other month.

There was much to discuss at the Jan. 17 meeting attended by 15 people.

Topics included pos-sibilities for moving the Salmon Festival from the Labour Day long weekend to Riv-ers Day on Sept. 29, which would have the event taking place on the Sept. 28-29.

There was discus-sion on the Horsefly River, as a Fisheries Sensitive Watershed, being ranked number 1 out of the 900 wa-tersheds/sub-basins in the Cariboo region for “at risk,” and should be given provincial desig-

nation.Public meetings will

be held sometime in the future regarding the impact of this designa-tion locally.

The Salmon Walk trail still has work to be completed when the weather permits, and RCM contracting has been selected to do the work.

The outhouse sup-plied by the Roundta-ble for visitors has been stored at the Fisheries compound; the convey-or belt that is used for disabled access to the river has been moved to higher ground in the campsite; signs regard-ing ATV’s and motor-cycles have not been installed yet.

The new sign for the 150 corner was dis-cussed.

It was decided to ob-tain CRD funding for

educational brochures, and signage for the Salmon Trail.

The first funding for stream restoration has come through from the Pacific Salmon Foun-dation. We are working on more funding.

Insurance coverage for Roundtable events was discussed, and a plan evolved.

Guy Scharf has in-dicated DFO wants to support the Round-table, and the extent of their involvement will be discussed at future meetings.

Various ways were discussed on how to get the Roundtable reports out while Bruce was in hospital, from getting a lap top to him and others, none of which proved plausible.

There was discussion regarding a co-ordina-tor for the Roundtable,

and the duties required to be carried out.

There was also some discussion about the Roundtable co-manag-ing the land along the Horsefly River which is currently managed by the Land Conser-vancy.

Following discussion on all of the above top-ics, the annual general meeting was called to order:

Ernie Gruhs stepped up to the plate, and took the position as chair of the Roundtable; Barry Booth, Ray LeBourda-is, Linda Bartsch, Ernie Gruhs, Charlotte Mor-row, Brian Englund, Sue Hemphill, Bruce

MacLeod, and Sam Albers were elected as directors of the Round-table.

Four tasks were as-signed to different peo-ple to have completed prior to the March meeting held March 21 at the Horsefly library:

• A copy of the con-stitution for the next meeting.

• Update all projects and financial records of same to the end of the year and e-mail infor-mation to all directors.

• Put terms of refer-ence on agenda for next meeting.

• Write up a job de-scription for our coor-dinator.

Williams Lake Sho-gun Martial Arts Acad-emy Senseis Sheldon and Lee-Ann Lainch-bury had a big surprise in store for one of their own this past weekend when they played host to the World Karate and Kick-boxing Council Provin-cial Championships.

That surprise came in the form of a special honour bestowed upon Smithers Shogun Mar-tial Arts Renshi Mar-wan Abu Khadra. Un-beknownst to Khadra, WKC’s grand master, Shihan Geert Lemmens, had travelled all the way from Heidenberg, Ger-many, to grant Khadra his seventh dan black belt. Lemmens is the master of the Shogun Martial Arts Academy’s discipline (kadgamala karate).

Renshi Mihran Agh-vinian also travelled to Williams Lake from Los Angeles, CA., to be a part of the ceremony, which helped kick off the provincial champion-ships.

Khadra’s seventh dan was presented to him in recognition of the work he’s done for Shogun

Martial Arts in B.C.“His performance

would need a few hours to tell you,” joked Shi-han Lemmens. “He’s changing things in peo-ple, and I think that’s the most important. If you see these guys the at-titude of the students is thanks to education. You will find this where all our students are present-ing themselves with a great attitude, and I think that’s most important in education and karate.”

Khadra’s friend, team-mate and training partner Aghvinian echoed Lem-mens’ comments.

“It’s an honour to be here today on the day when [Khadra] gets what he deserves, and the only man who could give it to him was our grandmas-ter, who came all the way from Germany to do this in front of our [Shogun] students so they know how special he is,” Agh-vinian said.

“We have to give credit to Sheldon and Lee-Ann because they made it happen. We’re very happy and proud to be here and enjoy-ing the event and the people here. They’re very warm-hearted, very nice, welcoming people and I have to say I love

it here.”Khadra said receiving

his seventh dan is the greatest honour he could achieve.

“It comes from the highest for me,” Khadra said.

“There is nothing higher. Shihan Lem-mens, getting it from him, for me, is the achievement. It was a surprise and it was a well done surprise. Shihan Lemmens is my father figure and I always look

up to him. If a student asks me a question I ask myself what Shihan would tell me to do.”

Khadra and Aghvin-ian began training with Lemmens in 1977 and, in turn, helped train and prepare Sheldon and Lee-Ann to open their own dojo in Williams Lake.

Martial artists compet-ing at the WKC Provin-cials Saturday at the Wil-liams Lake secondary gym were given the op-

portunity to earn a spot at the WKC National Championships in May in Ottawa.

Events included kata,

team kata, point fighting and continuous fighting.

At nationals the top four in each division will earn a berth to the world

championships this year in Italy.

After an exciting weekend of games, practices and training at the Island Savings Cen-tre in Duncan, the North region team defeated Lower Mainland Green 2-1 on April 7 to win the 2013 Female Under 16 BC Cup.

Five Williams Lake players — Laine Grace, 13, Ruthie Jackson, 14, Victoria Byer, 15, Stefanie Martin, 14, and Sarah Hermsen, 14 — helped comprise the North region squad, becoming the first team from the region to ever hoist the Female U16 BC Cup.

Marissa Nichol (Chet-wynd) opened the scor-ing for Team North in the final, assisted by Cassidy Bell (100 Mile House), followed by the team’s second goal by Katie Young (Quesnel) off passes from Debo-rah Wraight (Terrace) and Nichol. Both goals were scored within the first seven minutes of the game. Just a couple minutes later, Olivia Ra-mos (New Westminster) got Lower Mainland Green on the board with help from Amanda Pol-

lock (Surrey).The five lakecity

players said it was an amazing experience, es-pecially to win the tour-nament after heading into the tournament the underdogs.

“It was a great game,” said Byer, who paired with Jackson to form one of the team’s defensive pairings. “We worked hard and we worked as a team and were all to-gether the whole way. It was a good game for

both teams, because we were both strong.”

Jackson added they were fortunate to gain an early advantage, and said hanging on for the one-goal win was a hard-fought effort on everyone’s part.

“It was intense,” Jack-son said. “All our goals were in the first seven minutes and nobody scored after that. It felt really good to win.”

“We were the under-dogs and people weren’t

thinking the north would win, so that was cool,” Grace said.

The team’s path to the final consisted of a 3-1 win over the Koote-nays, a 3-1 victory and a 2-1 triumph against Vancouver Island, plus a 2-1 shootout win in the semifinal over Lower Mainland Green.

Williams Lake’s Kel-ly Call (manager) and Jane Nicol (trainer) trav-elled with the team to the tournament, which

also had players partici-pate in fitness testing, a social media seminar, a session on strength and conditioning and a ban-quet, which featured a speech by two-time Ca-nadian Olympic hockey gold medalist, Gina Kingsbury.

Byer said the team came together excep-tionally well consider-ing they had just a one-hour practice session in Duncan to prepare for the tournament.

“We were probably the closest team,” she said. “None of us had re-ally played together but we all came really close together like family.”

Jackson and Grace said it was an excel-lent opportunity to play among the top female players in the province.

“The highlight for me was getting the privilege to play with so many great players and meet so many new people,” Jackson said.

“Meeting everybody was great,” Grace add-ed.

Both Grace and Hermsen were first-year players and will have the opportunity to suit up for Team North next year at the BC Winter Games. Byer, Martin and Jackson will move up to the U18 division next year, where the selection process for Team BC’s squad at the

2015 Canada Summer Games will be selected over a period of several months.

Team North was coached by Prince George’s Carl Johnston, with Terrace’s Mario Desjardins taking on the assistant coaching du-ties.

At the BC Cup Lower Mainland Blue defeated the Kootenays 5-1 to claim third and the Is-land beat the Okanagan 6-3.

BC Hockey’s Female High Performance Pro-gram was established to identify and train ath-letes and team personnel for possible participa-tion at Provincial, Na-tional and International events. The objective of the Program is to en-hance the overall perfor-mance of BC athletes, coaches and officials in high level sporting events.

CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE

The City of Williams Lake announces that the project to widen, repave, and add a pedestrian lane to South Lakeside Drive will be undertaken this spring and summer. The project will be completed without long-term borrowing. In addition to repaving, the merge lane

from Hodgson Road will be extended to Pioneer Drive, and a pedestrian/bike lane will be added from Hodgson Road to the Seventh Day Adventist School. The bulk of the funding for the project comes from the Pavement Management Plan Reserve, the Capital Reserve, and Community Works Funds. “Council has been planning for this project

for a couple of years, saving money so we could do the project without borrowing and adding to the City’s debt,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “We’re proud that now, as the result of strategic planning in our budgets, we are able to complete this project and keep spending within our means. Not only will we be able to repair the road surface, but we will be able to increase safety at two key intersections, and add a lane for those on foot and bikes.” The City has issued an invitation to

tender on the project, and it is anticipated construction will begin in June. The City will issue updates on the project as it proceeds.

Tim Hortons Bike Rodeo goes May 4

The annual Tim Hor-tons Bike Rodeo is coming up Saturday, May 4 from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the Cana-

dian Tire Parking Lot.It’s an opportunity for

kids to get their bikes ready to ride, and to learn a few valuable tips on riding safety for the season.

All children who can ride tricycles or bi-cycles are encouraged to attend. Participants are asked to bring their bicycle and helmet along, and must regis-

ter for this free program by calling the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex at 250-398-7665.

The bike rodeo pro-motes safe bicycle rid-ing habits, which will reduce accidents in-volving children.

A course with a series of several safety sta-tions will give partici-pants the opportunity to learn correct riding skills.

Quadruplet kids born to Toggenburg nanny goat

Shannon Macfarlane and her nine-year-old daughter, Saraph-ine, like to go to the Quesnel small animal auction, because they never know what great deals they might find.

Sometimes they come home empty-handed, but as often as not they come across a deal they can‘t pass up.

Their menagerie of barnyard animals on their Fox Mountain acreage attests to that, with Win-nie the pony, Pom Pom the alpaca, Smokey the sheep, and Rollie the pot belly pig.

Three years ago at the auction they got the low bid on what the auctioneer said was a three-year-old Toggenburg wether or castrated male.

Shannon knew differently of course because she inspected the animal before placing her bid.

“I knew she was a nannie,” Shan-non says. “All the rest of the nan-nies with kids were going for $200 or $300 dollars, but nobody was in-terested in a three-year-old wether. So I got her for $60 bucks.”

Once Shannon won her bid, the handlers turned the Toggenburg around to lead her out of the ring, her full udder was fully visible and it was obvious to everybody that the “he” goat was actually a “she” goat.

“I milked Chloe for a whole year and she gave us two litres a day,” she says.

At last year’s small animal spring auction Shannon and Sara-phine bought a cute 15-week-old billy goat kid they named Rabbit, with an eye to breeding Chloe and start raising goats.

But having an eye for some-thing is a lot different than having a nose for it, and by October the rank smell of Rabbit changed their minds on that idea.

“Any time I got close to him the aroma was so intense I’d get tears in my eyes,” Shannon says, so she put him up for sale.

It took until January for Shan-non to find a taker for Rabbit, who went to a nice home with a herd of “girls” to look after.

The buyer of the billy asked if they wanted to sell Chloe as well, and Shannon admits she wavered.

“At that time we weren’t sure whether Chloe was bred.”

As the weather warmed and the days got longer it was soon evident

that Chloe was pregnant. On April 7 Shannon and Sara-

phine went up to the small animal spring auction in Quesnel, with an eye to possibly buying another milk goat to keep Chloe company. Fortunately Shannon managed to constrain herself.

“I managed to sit on my hands and not buy anything,” she says. “Lucky for us, because when we got home Chloe had given birth to four babies. At first we thought she had twins, then we saw a third baby, then a fourth.”

Saraphine has already named the new arrivals: Button, Cricket, Bug and Mo. Button is the only female and Saraphine wants to keep her to finally start their herd of goats they have been planning.

After all she loves goat milk, so why not.

It seems like Rabbit was a good name for the father of the quadru-plets. It’s pretty rare to have a litter of goats.

“It’s fairly common for goats to have twins, and I’ve heard of trip-lets before, but never four at one time,” Shannon says.

Sage Birchwater photosGoats often have twins and sometimes triplets but it is a rare thing to find a goat having quadruplets, such as the ones being held here by Saraphine and her mom Shannon Macfarlane. Curiously the family purchased the kid’s mother Cloe at auction registered as a neutered male.

Saraphine in the yard with Cloe and her four kids and a couple of her other special farm animals, Smokey the sheep and pony. She also has Pom Pom the alpaca, and Rollie the pot belly pig.

cariboo Festival Speech arts open to all ages

Lauren Swan (left) receives her speech arts adjudication from Melissa Glover (right).The Cariboo Festival continues this week with the piano section of competition at the Calvary Church.

The Cariboo Festival Speech Arts section end-ed strong last week with a stellar performance by Mary Trott.

It was so awesome to have the Speech Arts discipline open with a five-year-old girl, Abby Ostrom, performing Sure Sign by Arnold Spilk and then to end with Trott’s mesmerizing sight read-ing of Life of Pi by Yann Martel.

In between the first and the last works of the speech art performances were some other inspir-ing works from local art-ists.

Melissa Glover, from Prince George, adjudi-cated this year’s speech art entrants. Glover rec-ommended some local performers on to the pro-vincial festival.

Glover is a graduate of Mount Royal Universi-ty’s theatre performance program. While living in Calgary she had the op-portunity to work with several directors and ac-tors involved in the the-atre community.

Favourite credits in Calgary include Spring Awakening, Crimes of the Heart, and Our Town. She then moved back home to Prince George

and appeared in the Ca-nadian premiere of All Shook Up.

She directed The Va-gina Monologues at UNBC and then went on to tour Canada with a collective creation work called Roots Among the Rocks. Last summer she appeared in the musical The Producers and most recently was on stage performing in A Christ-mas Carol.

She will also be direct-

ing the Vagina Mono-logues again in Prince George.

Glover is thrilled to be adjudicating at the festi-val, she was an avid par-ticipant for many years in the Prince George and Burns Lake festivals.

The community is going to want to hear awards winners per-form some of these great works May 4, 7 p.m. at the Honours held at the Cariboo Bethel.

VISION AND HEARINGYour Preschooler and… Vision and

Hearing

Hearing and vision will be an important part of your child’s learning when they go to school. Good vision helps a child see and understand what is happening around them. Actions like reaching, running, catching and balancing all involve skill in eye-hand coordination. Watch for signs that your child may have an eye problem and see your family doctor or optometrist if you are concerned.

Good hearing is important for speech and language development. Children who have trouble hearing � nd learning to read more dif� cult. By age three your child will hear and understand most of what is said and will listen to stories and can answer questions. Watch for signs that your child may have trouble hearing. See your family doctor if you are concerned. Some ways to protect your child’s hearing are to keep your child in a smoke-free environment as smoke causes increased ear infections, and when cleaning the ears, don’t use cotton swabs or anything in the ear canal.

Try some of these with your preschooler:1. Play games such as throwing and catching a ball

and balancing or building blocks to help develop eye-hand coordination.

2. Show how important it is to protect the eyes to avoid eye injuries. Model using eye protection around dangerous materials or equipment. Store poisons out of reach of your child to help prevent eye injuries.

3. Sunglasses are recommended for children, as well as adults. Be sure they offer 99-100% UVA and UVB protection.

4. Show your child the proper way to handle sharp objects like toys with pointed ends. Provide simple rules for your child, such as, “We walk, not run, when we have sharp objects in our hands.” If possible, provide children’s blunt scissors for your child to use instead of sharp ones.

5. Talk, sing and read to your child — enjoy playing with sounds — all the activities listed on page 3.

6. Washing hands well helps to prevent ear infections. Show your preschoolers how to take care of their health by washing their hands with soap and warm water. This will help when they are ready to go to school.

7. Show your child ways to protect his or her hearing by avoiding loud sounds, or wearing ear protection when around loud sounds, including loud music.

Signs that your child may have an eye problem are:• holding objects very closely;• avoiding picture books, puzzles or other near

distance activities;• tilting the head, using an unusual posture or covering

one eye when looking at something;• too much blinking, squinting or eye rubbing;• complaining of headaches;• drooping upper eyelids or eyes turned in or out;• red, burning, itchy eyes;• trouble catching, building, balancing or doing other

eye-hand coordination activities.

Signs that your child may have trouble hearing are:• regular ear infections;• not responding to sound well, or responding better

when speech is loud;• having trouble telling where sounds are coming from;• developing speech late.

Protect yourself and others, get immunizedIn the last 50 years,

immunization has saved more lives in Canada than any other health in-tervention.

April 20 to 27 is Na-tional Immunization Awareness Week, and this year, Interior Health would like to remind you that we can all play an important role in stopping the spread of vaccine preventable dis-eases.

When most people are vaccinated for a disease, it makes it harder for that disease to spread from person to person. When people stop immunizing, dis-eases come back and that becomes especially risky for those who may be more vulnerable like

young children, seniors, and people with certain medical conditions or compromised immune systems.

“This year we saw an increase in cases of whooping cough (per-tussis) here in Interior Health and some parts of our province experi-enced significant out-breaks,” said Dr. Rob Parker, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health. “This is an im-portant reminder that we need to keep our im-munization rates high to help prevent outbreaks like this from happen-ing.”

“Vaccines don’t just prevent diseases; they also reduce the possibil-ity of serious complica-

tions or death associated with vaccine-prevent-able diseases. Mumps, measles, and rubella viruses can lead to po-tentially deadly com-plications like pneumo-nia and encephalitis. Whooping cough (per-tussis) and meningitis C bacteria can cause brain damage or death,” explained Dr. Parker. “The main side effects associated with getting vaccines are minor and temporary, such as a sore arm or mild fever. The likelihood of hav-ing a serious side ef-fect from a vaccine is extremely small. The benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.”

Factual vaccine infor-mation can help people

make informed deci-sions about their health and the health of their families.

It is very important to make sure you get vac-cine information from reliable and credible sources.

The ImmunizeBC website www.immuni-zeBC.ca or your local public health nurse are excellent sources of in-

formation about vacci-nations.

For more informa-tion:

Call your local public health centre. Check the Interior Health website at www.interiorhealth.ca/YourHealth/Immu-nization/Pages/default.aspx.

Maureen Hollins adjudicates Cariboo Festival piano section

The Cariboo Fes-tival continues this week with the piano section of compe-tition taking place April 15-18 at Cal-vary Church with adjudicator Maureen Hollins.

Hollins’ early pia-no training was with Audrey Mallinson and Glen Geary.

She continued piano study with Dale Reubart, Phyl-lis Schuldt and Win-ifred Scott Wood, and studied composition with Jean Coulthard.

Her education in-cludes Performer’s Diplomas from both the Royal Conserva-

tory of Music and the Victoria Conservato-ry of Music; a Bach-elor of Music Degree in performance piano from the University of British Columbia; the Professional De-velopment Program from Simon Fra-ser University; and a Masters of Divin-ity Degree from the Vancouver School of Theology.

Hollins established her piano studio in Surrey in the late 1970s, and since that time has adjudi-cated music festivals throughout British Columbia.

As a clinician,

she presents master classes and work-shops for teachers and students.

Hollins’ students are recipients of nu-merous awards from local festivals, and the Victoria Conser-vatory.

She is half of the Hollins and Condie Duo, which is a col-laboration in peda-gogy as well as piano performance.

Maureen loves to teach.

Sharing the skill of piano playing and the meaning of music with our young peo-ple is a challenge and an honour.
