The Cariboo Festival Hon-ours Concert wrapped up the almost month-long festival with performances by gold standing winners and the presentation of many deserving awards Satur-day evening at Cariboo Bethel Church.
A total of $1,425 in scholar-ships for students was presented along with the awards sponsored by various community clubs and businesses. At the end of
the concert Saturday organizers announced the delegates to the provincial festival taking place in Penticton, June 3 to 7.
This year’s festival included 73 band and Instrumental entries, 72 speech arts entries, 62 vocal and choral entries, 96 piano en-tries and 11 creative writing en-tries.

The mother of a 27-year-old Oliver man who died on the job in 2013 put a name and face to the statis-tics during the Day of Mourning ceremony in Williams Lake Mon-day.
Standing at the podi-um outside of city hall, Brenda Armstrong held up a memorial card depicting her son Sheldon Skolos’ photo-graph.
“In 2013, he was one of the ones that didn’t come home,” she fal-tered. “He is my old-est son. He had two sons, they were eight
and four, and he should have come home that day.”
After his death, BC Coroners Service con-firmed Sheldon died at a construction site in Oliver.
He was assisting a forklift operator in transporting construc-tion materials when he was struck by a load of oriented strand boards.
“He worked beside his friend who was part of that accident and lives with that every day,” Armstrong said.
Of the 128 work-related deaths in B.C. in 2013, her son’s was one of them, and it af-fected everything that
happened in her life this last year by 100 per cent, she said.
“There’s no way this should happen. People should come home
from work and see their children and their spouses.”
Armstrong has three sons and said she never gave a lot of thought to work safety until her oldest son Sheldon’s death, but now feels strongly that work-related deaths must be prevented.
United Steelworkers Local 1-425 vice-presi-dent Dean Colville said he hopes in his lifetime he will be able stand up at the podium and cel-ebrate that no one died at work.
“It’s pretty clear, whether we are gov-ernment officials, com-panies, workers, we all share a common goal,” Colville said.
South Cariboo Area
Labour Council presi-dent Linda Rowley said it’s a sad occasion each year to recognize enough hasn’t been done to prevent work-place injuries.
There are real people behind those statistics and very few prosecu-tions against compa-nies, she continued.
“More people die at work than while fight-ing wars,” Salvation Army Capt. Ben Lip-pers said before offer-ing a prayer. “This day gives us the opportu-nity to say thank you to all those people who have made a sacrifice so we can enjoy a high standard of living.”

Government supports Internet access in rural communities
Rural and remote access to the Internet in B.C. has received a boost in the arm.
On Thursday, the provincial government announced a $2 million investment to help rural and remote residents afford satellite Internet technology.
Customers can re-ceive assistance for in-stallation costs to the tune of 50 per cent or up to $250.
It can cost $500 be-cause technicians have to travel so far in some cases.
Government part-nered with Xplornet Communications Inc. and local installers to
provide the subsidy to people who live where satellite Internet tech-nology is the only op-tion.
“Getting high speed Internet into remote areas has always been very challenging,” said Thomas Koeth, one of the owners of Can Com Electronics Ltd. in Wil-liams Lake.
“We are excited the government is consider-ing satellite technology as a viable option to de-liver high speed service into rural areas.”
Koeth said this is the first investment of its kind made by govern-ment, but a needed one due to the challenges of servicing a province with so many forests and mountains.
“It makes it more af-fordable for us to get into the really remote areas,” Koeth said, not-ing residents in places like Bella Coola and Nemiah Valley will cer-tainly benefit from the subsidy.
Minister of Technol-ogy, Innovation and Citizens’ Services An-drew Wilkinson said government is making the investment because the Internet has become a necessity for 21st cen-tury life.
“Getting all British Columbians online will help expand economic opportunities, connect families and help bring the world to every cor-ner of the province.”
The program will help with the adoption of
broadband, said Xplor-net senior vice-president Bill Macdonald Thurs-day.
“Access to broad band has been out there, the challenge has been the affordability.”
Xplornet presently has three satellites in orbit — two 4Gs were launched last year. The older one will undergo some upgrades in the near future.
The company was successful achieving the tender after the govern-ment put out a request for proposals.
“We use all indepen-dent dealers to install the satellite dishes for us across the province so it will drive more business to them and benefit lo-cal economies,” Mac-
donald continued. Making broad band
more affordable puts ru-ral and remote commu-nities on a level playing field with urbanites, he added.
“Satellite internet technology can get around some of the ter-rain challenges faced by towers,” Macdonald said.
“If you get access to
satellite TV, you can get access to satellite Inter-net.”
Today, more than 93 per cent of British Co-lumbians have access to high-speed Internet.

Break and enters were among the 65 calls for service Wil-liams Lake RCMP re-sponded to during the weekend.
In its weekend report, the RCMP singled out some of the files.
Saturday, April 26At 1:15 a.m. police
responded to a re-port from Downtown Towing of an alarm go-ing off at its 750 Mack-enzie Avenue South lo-cation. Police attended and determined a break and enter had occurred. Property representa-tive from Downtown Towing attended and informed members the cash register with an undisclosed amount
of money was missing. Nothing else appeared to be gone. The matter is still under investiga-tion.
Sunday, April 27• The RCMP received
a complaint from the owner of a residence on Cameron Street at 10:40 a.m. that as he entered the residence, he interrupted a male trying to kick in the door on his balcony during an attempted break-in.
The property resi-dent provided a clear description of the male and approximately five minutes later a male was taken into custody matching the descrip-tion given. The matter
is still under investiga-tion.
• At 9:45 a.m. police received a report from OK Tire located at 25 Borland Street that someone attempted to break into the business. The owner was alerted by the alarm company and police attended. Upon police arrival at the scene a rock was seen on the ground in front of the door and pieces of glass every-where.
The second layer of window had not broken but had been pushed in. The intruder did not manage to gain access to the business.
• Three men were ar-rested Sunday evening
after a break and enter at Mountview Store on Dog Creek Road.
At 10:30 p.m. all available police units were dispatched to a complaint of a break and enter in progress at the store.
Upon police arrival, the business represen-tative told police a male had broken the win-dow to the store and grabbed something that was later determined to be beer.
The male then got into a vehicle with two other males and was sit-ting in the parking lot. As police approached, the vehicle left the store property.
Police located and
stopped the vehicle on Dog Creek Road and the three occupants of
the vehicle were arrest-ed for break and enter. All three were heavily
intoxicated and taken into custody.
Charges are pending.
Black Press in Wil-liams Lake is becom-ing more colourful after a moderniza-tion of the printing press will increase its capability to print more colour pages.
Previously the press could print 12 colour pages per sec-tion. It will now be able to print 16.
The upgrade in-volves the installa-tion of four GOSS community units.
Two of the units, which are each stacked two high, were installed last Friday.
The other two will go in this Friday, said press foreman Mark Lees.
“They have come
new-to-us from Ha-waii where Black Press also owns a pa-per,” Lees said of the replacement units.
Built in 1978, the original press in Wil-liams Lake was the first one owned by Black Press chair-man David Black.
Lees has worked at the press in Williams Lake for 29 and a half years and said he owes all of his professional success to former pressman “old” John Dolenu-ck.
“I worked with John for 20 years,” Lees said.
“He used to run the original press when it was over where ad-vertising is located now in our building.”
Today Black Press owns presses in
Cranbrook, Vernon, Williams Lake, Pent-icton, Goldstream, Ladysmith, Burnaby and Abbotsford.
In Williams Lake, the press churns out 18 weekly publica-tions for communi-ties from Ashcroft north to Prince George, and west to Prince Rupert, as well as numerous special supplements and publications.
The modernization won’t make things easier or quicker, but will add more to it, pressman Jamie An-derson explained.
Until the work is completed this week-end, the Williams Lake Tribune and Weekend Advisor’ssections can be no more than 24 pages, Anderson said.

Trial dates have been set for an Alberta man charged in re-lation to the death of Kyle Vi-geant on June 24, 2013.
Kurtis James Roby is charged with criminal negligence caus-ing death, two charges of crim-inal negligence causing bodily harm, failing to stop at the scene of an accident involving bodily harm and willfully re-sisting or obstructing a peace officer.
The incident occurred on the Chimney Lake Road near Brunson Lake.
On Monday, Supreme Court Justice Shelley Fitzpatrick set aside 10 days for the trial be-ginning on Oct. 20 at 10 a.m. in Williams Lake Supreme Court.
Roby has selected trial by judge alone.

Black Press to upgrade printing press

Black Press pressman Calvin Paul (left), press foreman Mark Lees and pressman Jamie Anderson say goodbye to pieces of Black Press’s circa 1960s printing press as they modernize the presses over the next two weeks. The upgrade will mean more colour options for the 18 community newspapers that have their papers printed at the press in Williams Lake.
Final preparations are falling into place for the city’s big 85th birthday celebration planned for May 3.
“Staff at city hall and the recreation complex have been phenomenal in pulling it all togeth-er,” said Coun. Danica Hughes.
Additionally, the Lions Club will serve breakfast from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m, the Rotary Club of Wil-liams Lake will serve din-ner at 5 p.m., the Leaders Moving Forward will provide birthday cake at 7 p.m.
Family activities in-cluding wagon rides and potato sack races, are planned from 10:30 to 1:30 p.m.
Heritage Committee member Lynda Pinette has also organized a line-up of performers in the
park between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
They include Cariboo Gold, the Williams Lake Community Band, An-gela Sommers’ children’s choir and women’s choir, and Brent Morton of Drum and Bell Tower.
In the afternoon, Ma-ranatha Christian School will host a carnival in the recreation complex from 1:30 to 4 p.m. and the concession stand will be open in the complex.
Hughes is very excited that a family dance is slat-ed for the evening, from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m.
She has served two terms on council and will not seek re-election, however, Hughes said a family dance is one of the things she hoped to help organize.
“The Williams Lake Youth Fiddlers will kick off the dance and are working with a group of young First Nations fid-
dlers,” Hughes said, add-ing the local group Per-fect Match will finish off the evening.
All events will take place in Boitanio Park and the Cariboo Memori-al Complex’s small arena.

Associations file for participation in mine judicial review
Four mining asso-ciations have filed for intervener status in Taseko Mine Ltd.’s ju-dicial review against the federal govern-ment’s review process for the New Prosper-ity Mine.
On April 16, the Mining Association of Canada (MAC), Mining Association of British Colum-bia (MABC), Mining Suppliers Association of British Columbia
(MSABC) and As-sociation of Mineral Exploration British Columbia (AMEBC) filed an affidavit mak-ing the request.
“Of concern to prospectors, mineral explorers, develop-ers and investors, and one of the key issues before the court is that federal regulators ap-pear to have not con-sidered or analyzed all the facts and science regarding the tail-ings facility design,” stated Gavin Dirom, president and CEO,
AMEBC, in his asso-ciation’s affidavit.
Taseko’s vice-pres-ident of corporate af-fairs Brian Battison said the action of the mining associations speaks to the “magni-tude” of the concern people have for the way the environmen-tal assessment process was managed.
“Our position is that it was flawed and the findings were based on that process were wrong,” he said.
“It’s big news in the world of mining.”
Chief Joe Alphonse, Tsilhqot’in Tribal Chair, is one of the re-spondents in the judi-cial review, along with the Minister of Envi-ronment, the Attorney General of Canada, and the Tsilhqot’in National Government.
Alphonse said he is confident in their position and what the outcome will be for the court cases.
“We’ll come out with another victory regardless of how many interest groups are out there,” he said.

REMINDER TO RESIDENTSSprinkling regulations in the City of Williams Lake are in effect from April 1 to September 30.
Watering of lawns within the City of Williams Lake is not permitted between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Residents are reminded that watering days are in accordance with residential addresses (odd-numbered addresses waters on odd days, even-numbered addresses water on even days). In the case of mobile homes in mobile home parks and strata developments, watering days are determined by bay numbers or unit numbers.
Residents who have installed a new lawn, either by sod or seeding, may apply to the City for a permit to water beyond the conditions set out within the Bylaw. Properties that have automatic sprinkler systems can water grass between 12 and 4 a.m.
The regulations are to ensure there is enough water supply during peak daytime hours, and non-compliance can carry a $100 fine. The City’s bylaw enforcement department will enforce the regulations.
Can the current main pool tank just be repaired rather than replaced?The main pool tank has structural damage in several key areas including the expansion joints and underground piping. There is a high risk that it will fail completely. The main pool tank was closed for seven weeks in 2011 due to an underground pipe bursting, and expansion joint leakage resulting in huge water loss beneath the main tank. During the repairs, structural damage was confirmed by engineers. A temporary repair was put in place until the tank could be replaced and it is not expected this repair will last much longer, nor can a similar temporary repair be done again. The tank is still leaking a significant amount of water each day, a situation that cannot continue indefinitely.

On May 3, the whole community will come together to celebrate 85 wonderful years of our beau-
tiful city! I am a proud resident of the Cariboo-Chilcotin and Williams Lake is truly the centre of our great region.
We are a vibrant community. With the world famous Williams Lake Stampede, the Indoor Rodeo, the Harvest Fair, an emerging arts and cultural scene and great economic opportunity on the hori-zon in mining and LNG developments in northern B.C., Williams Lake is truly one of the best places to be in British Colum-bia.
Community events are already planned with the fun starting bright and early at 8:30 a.m. at Boitanio Park for a pan-cake breakfast which goes until
10:30 a.m., then family games and activi-ties until 1:30 p.m.
The Cariboo Memorial Complex will have a lunch starting at 1:30 p.m. with a dinner starting at 5:00 p.m. hosted by our local Rotary Club, at 7:00 p.m. with a birthday cake cutting and finally capping off the celebration with a family dance from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
This is a great opportunity for everyone to show off our Williams Lake pride with our neighbours, family and friends. I will be attending the community supper on Saturday night to listen to the incredible stories of some great Williams Lake resi-dents past and present.
In these celebrations, let us not forget that we are very fortunate to live in such a great community with an extraordinary small-town spirit. It is an honour to rep-resent Williams Lake.
Everyone in Williams Lake is proud of our heritage and of our great future ahead. I am looking forward to continue to work with everyone in our community to build an ever stronger and vibrant Wil-liams Lake for many decades to come.
Happy Birthday Williams Lake! I hope the next 85 years are just as spectacular.
Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

MusingsDonna Barnett
Give citizens say in B.C.’s future
Come celebrate Williams Lake’s birthdayShould the public be consulted when
governments are planning conten-tious changes in legislation? And if
so, should the governments heed the public’s opinions?
The federal government’s “Fair Elections Act” triggered public outrage as it is seen as anything but fair.
The provincial government’s plans to monkey with land use by “updating” the Agricultural Land Reserve and chang-ing the management of forest tenures have alarmed both political friends and foes. Crit-ics of the Election Act see it as a plan to tip the scales in favour of the Conservative party. B.C.’s proposals would make dras-tic changes to the land. The feds may be lis-tening to the critics. As for the province, who knows?
The BC Ag-riculture Coun-cil (representing 14,000 farmers) is among the critics of Bill 24 (ALR changes). Af-ter listening to
this group, Norm Letnick, B.C.’s brand new agriculture minister, says he is open to input and would consider a rewrite. Howev-er, B.C.’s Core Review Minister Bill Bennett, who crafted the bill, indicated it will pass as is during the current legislative session. It will be interesting to see who prevails.
Jim Snetsinger, B.C.’s former chief forest-er, is leading the brief consultation process on forest tenure. There are no public sessions planned, he’ll meet with designated people here tomorrow. While most agree there are many issues to deal with in the aftermath of the mountain pine beetle epidemic, envi-ronmentalists, retired professional foresters, ordinary people and even Don Kayne, CEO of the giant Canfor Corporation, are ques-tioning both the province’s planned solution and the limited consultation process.
The Fair Elections Act has huge implica-tions for the integrity of our electoral sys-tem, but a new government could reverse it. The province’s plans for farmland and forests are a different matter. The impacts will last a long, long time. Wouldn’t it be fair (wise?) to allow citizens to have some say in planning the province’s future?

Keep wildlife wildSpringtime has got to be one of the
nicest times of the year.The weather is getting warmer (hope-
fully), the lakes are almost all free of ice and animals seem to be particularly carefree and willing to show themselves after the long, hard winter we have had.
Along with all the usual signs of spring, newborn wild animals have got to be one of most special things to wit-ness this time of year, and the govern-ment is reminding everyone to resist the urge to “help out” newborn wildlife.
Every year people find newborns alone and often mistakenly believe they have been abandoned, but usually they have only been left there temporarily by their mother, who will usually return.
Intervening in these situations by at-tempting to “rescue” the fawn or calf is rarely necessary, according to the gov-ernment, and will usually do more harm than good.
In fact, in most cases if a newborn wild animal is touched or moved it will likely be orphaned.
According to the provincial biologist, it is normal for mother deer, elk and oth-
er ungulates to leave their young alone for long periods, returning a few times a day to nurse. They also rely on the newborn’s lack of scent to protect them from predators.
Returning mothers that find humans or pets nearby may leave or can become aggressive to defend their offspring from the perceived threat.
The mother will return if the young is left alone.
If you find a fawn or calf that you think may be orphaned, you should leave the area, keep children and pets away from the area and do not touch or attempt to feed the animal.
If you think the fawn or calf is not be-ing cared for by its mother, return the next day to check.
If it is in the exact same spot, it may be injured or orphaned.
Contact the conservation officer ser-vice as soon as possible, but do not touch or move the animal.
Unfortunately in our area, there is no wildlife rehabilitation facility.

Question of the weekWe are lucky to be workingEditor:
B.C. teachers federation says there are more than 41,000 school teachers in the federa-tion.
Strike vote results from March 6 show that only 29,301 teachers voted with 26,051 voting yes for strike action.
This leaves 14,949 teachers or 36.46 per cent, that seem to be happy with the way things are.
The way things are is that the average teacher wage in B.C. is $89,000 per year ($70,624 in wages, $18,000 in benefits), two weeks off at Christmas, two week spring break, lieu days, a pension plan that the B.C. tax-payers pay 16.13 per cent of sal-ary into plan, having the months of July and August off, and a taxpayer funded benefits plan.
With the Alberta teachers federation recent four-year con-
tract of zero per cent increase in the first three years, and a two per cent pay raise in the fourth year with a cash bonus, and with the announcement March 7, 2014, that Staples will be closing 225 stores, these 14,949 are saying, things are great the way they are. We are lucky to be working.

Canadian laws should extend to the unborn
Editor:
Alan Trenzek’s letter (April 9) hit the nail on the head.
In the 1800s anti-slavery groups were often vilified, mocked, and hated by those who made money owning slaves. Pro-life people today are often simi-larly demonized, and culturally silenced.
Just as the laws in 1850 failed to regard slaves as “persons,” the law today in Canada fails to ac-cept the personhood of the child in the womb.
With ultrasound and DNA science there is now no excuse for
ignorance about the full human-ity of the innocent unborn child. Yet Canadian law stands in fla-grant violation of the “Univer-sal Declaration of the Rights of the Child” which clearly states in its preamble that: “Whereas the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, in-cluding appropriate legal protec-tion, before as well as after birth.
Today there is no legal protec-tion whatsoever for unborn chil-dren in Canada — even until the time of birth.
Future civilizations will look back on us someday with the
same horror that we now regard 19th century slave owners. With shocked bewilderment they will ask: How, even after we knew the truth, could we have remained so indifferent?
How could we have been so si-lent in the face of such violence against precious innocent lives?
How could we have callous-ly denied the most vulnerable among us the very right to life?
Thank you Alan for bringing this important issue to our atten-tion.

With the first week of May fast approaching, youth all over B.C. are gearing up for Youth Week events — and this year youth in Williams Lake are gearing up as well.
Youth Week is a pro-vincial celebration of youth held annually during the first week of May. It is a week of fun, interaction, and celebration intended to build a strong con-nection between young people and their com-munities and to profile the issues, accomplish-ments, and diversity of youth across the prov-ince. It’s an opportuni-ty to recognize the posi-tive contributions youth make in their communi-ties, and to celebrate the valuable work youth do all year round.
2014 marks the first time our city is celebrat-ing this event.
Wednesday, April 30, from 11 a.m. until noon is the Volunteer Fair in the commons at the LCSS Williams Lake Campus.
Youth Week is being launched by a Volun-teer Fair organized by Junior Council. The fair provides an oppor-tunity for local service
providers in need of volunteers to connect with youth. It’s also a great forum in which to ask questions and talk about issues and inter-ests.
“We wanted to cre-ate an event that gives students an opportu-nity to volunteer in the community as students need volunteer hours in order to graduate. There are also lots of personal benefits when you volunteer,” said ju-nior council member Brooklyn Thiessen. “You feel good about your contributions, you build new skills, meet interesting people, and you help organizations that are doing such great work in our com-munity.”
On Thursday, May 1 at 5 p.m. the Open-ing Reception, “The Creative Path,” will be hosted at the Station House Gallery.
Youth in the “Mak-ing Connections” pro-gram of School District 27 are showcasing their art work at the Station House Gallery during the month of May and we have a chance to meet some of the artists at the May 1 opening reception of their Cre-ative Path exhibit.
The exhibit should be amazing, said Ciel
Patenaude, facilitator of the Making Connec-tions program.
“Our philosophy is that children who know themselves to be power-fully creative, imagina-tive and artistic beings will not only enjoy their childhood more, but they will grow up to be powerfully creative, confident and expres-sive adults, capable of making decisions reflective not of inse-curity or doubt, but in alignment with a deep appreciation of their unique gifts and capaci-ties,” Patenaude said.
On Monday, May 5 there will be a Barbecue and Scavenger Hunt from 3:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Boys and Girls Club.
Join youth at the Boys and Girls Club for a fun filled scav-enger hunt starting at 3:30 p.m. followed by a barbecue. This event is open to youth 13-18.
“We hope to have lots of youth come down to the centre to enjoy the fun, food and prizes,” said Carly Lucchetta with the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District.
Wednesday, May 7 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. a concert in the Lake City secondary Wil-liams Lake Campus
takes place.An evening of un-
censored musical per-formances by Youth in a relaxed coffee house environment. This is a free event for youth to showcase their talent for their friends and family. There will be lots of great door prizes and free refreshments.
“We are excited to be collaborating with Youth for Christ-Youth Unlimited and Work-SafeBC to make this event happen,” said the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and Dis-trict’s Linda Bingham.
Also, a resource dis-play for youth and their parents is lined up at the Williams Lake Library.
What are the hot new titles in youth fiction? Is there a how-to book for raising my teenager? If these questions spark your interest, head on down to the Cariboo Regional District Li-brary, Williams Lake Branch. Not a bad line up of activities for our first annual Williams Lake BC Youth Week celebrations. Come on out and support our youth. We’ve started something great to build on. Enjoy!
Carla Bullinger is a facilitator with Commu-nities that Care in Wil-liams Lake.

Boitanio Park was a triumph of Williams Lake’s citizens who wanted to maintain and insure the wishes of Roderick Macken-zie were followed.
Originally, Boitanio Park was the site of a Shuswap village, probably one that was used in the winter months because there are the ruins of pit houses.
After the First Na-tions left the area it was used as a pas-ture before the PGE bought the land. Roderick Mackenzie bought much of the land where the park now sits in the early 1920s. It was pur-chased from the PGE as a gift to the newly-formed village of Wil-liams Lake.
Mackenzie gave the land to the village with the stipulation that it was to be used as a golf course, but if and when the time came that it was no longer used for the purpose that it was to become a park.
It was the Williams Lake Golf Course for nearly three decades. After the golf course was developed on the other side of town the old course was just abandoned.
In 1967, Premier W.A.C. Bennett was presented with a pe-
tition that had been circulated around town by the Old Age Pensioners Asso-ciation (OAPO) with the request that the golf course land be declared a park and control of it given over to the people of Williams Lake.
He gave the 55 acres, which the park-land had grown into at a meeting later that day.
After two years with no changes to the park made by town council, a group of people came to-gether in an effort to
improve the area as a Centennial Project. Council accepted the idea so local efforts for fundraising and improvements began.
At this time it was also determined that the park did not yet have a name.
A name the park contest was organized during Stampede. Boitanio was chosen for Antoine Boitanio, the oldest calf roper and a resident of Williams Lake since 1928.
The park now had a name and the work was coming along
very well. There was the de-
velopment of a small stream and bridge as well as the construc-tion of the Gwen Pharis Ringwood Me-morial Amphitheatre.
By the late 1970s all the work done for the Centennial had fallen into disrepair and the park was no longer the gorgeous piece of parkland it once was.
Chunks of the prop-erty had been sold off throughout the years, Boitanio Mall taking a large section, as well as Kiwanis Park, pro-vincial buildings and the Cariboo Memo-rial Recreation Com-plex.
In 1974, officials from the provincial archaeology depart-ment and three mem-bers of the Sugar Cane Band excavated at the site where Boi-tanio Mall was be-ing built, looking for what appeared to be pit houses.
The provincial ar-chaeologists became interested in the site
when bones were dis-covered during exca-vation of the site by developers.
By the time the de-partment was notified of the find the bones had been disposed of and the site destroyed.
Since the 1980s great efforts have been taken in the city to improve the park.
The Gwen Ring-wood Memorial Amphitheatre was torn down and re-constructed and the Parks people have been making strides in improving the park’s overall appeal.
Communities in Bloom has two gar-dens recognizing sis-ter cities adding to the variety of flow-ers found in the park. Concerts in the park has also done a great deal to bring people into the park.
The Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin supplies this history of Williams Lake as part of the city’s 85th an-niversary year. A cel-ebration is planned for May 3.

Sense and Sensibility on stage
In this time of war and strife around the world it is nice to re-flect on simpler times when the only thing a lady had to worry about was who they were going to marry.
Jane Austen’s classic Sense and Sensibility, on stage at the Studio Theatre starting this week, offers a lovely escape from modern day woes.
The unique and sim-ple set design by Curt Sprickerhoff makes it perfect for travelling if the play is chosen for the provincial festival when the zone festival is held here later this spring.
And the costumes are of a most authentic style, all designed by Christa Obergfell.
As the scenes change, drawings from Austen’s book appear in the large ornate pic-ture frame on the wall.
Periodically the pages of a large book in the background are turned by one of the servants showing im-ages depicting stages of the story.
The title of the cloth covered front cover of the book says simply “By a Lady.”
“It is all Jane Austen would allow until her brother convinced her to take credit for the book,” says director Becky Strickland, who expressed her grati-tude for the backstage crew for their work on the production during Monday’s dress re-
hearsal.Sense and Sensibility
is lively and dynamic adaptation of Jane Austen’s story about the Dashwood sis-ters Elinor, played by Kathleen Macdonald, and Marianne, played by Jennifer McPhee, who find themselves captivated by two very different men.
Sensible Elinor is charmed by the quiet, bumbling goodness
of Edward Ferrars, played by Colin San-ford, while passion-ate Marianne, played by Jennifer McPhee is swept off of her feet by the dashing and mys-terious Willoughby, played by Scott Smith-son.
But when Willough-by’s scandalous past and Edward’s secret fiancee come to light, the sisters are forced to rely upon themselves and one another to weather their heart-ache — and learn that when sense and sensi-
bility meet, love can’t be far behind.
In addition to the main characters the large cast includes Sylvia Swift as Mrs. Henry Dashwood; Chris Armstrong as John Dashwood; Heather Goodall as Mrs. John Dashwood; Brad Lawryk as Sir John Middleton and the doctor; Sheryl-Lynn Lewis as Lady Middleton and Mrs. Ferrars; Sandi Alaric as Mrs. Jennings; Ter-ry Lyons as Colonel Brandon; Mark Ber-ezan as Robert Fer-rars; Brian Durrell as the footman and the gardener; Haley Tazelaar as the lady’s maid; and Shina Du-bielew as Lucy Steele and Miss Grey.
Sense and Sensibility will be on stage at the Studio Theatre April 30 to May 3, May 7 to 10, and May 14 to 17.
The play will also be participating in the Central Interior Zone Festival May 28-31 in Williams Lake.

From the opening performance by the AngelKeys Children’s Choir singing Trinidad and Tobago to the final performance by Nao-mi Lomavatu on pia-no playing Arabesque No. 1 by Debussy the Cariboo Festival’s Honours Performance Saturday evening was solid gold.
Gold in that all of the performers were each awarded gold standing (85 per cent or higher) by their re-spective adjudicators, and gold in that the evening showcased such a wide variety of lakecity talent.
Pianist Warran Penner had the audi-ence spellbound as he played Prelude Opus 32/5 by Rachmaninoff.
The speech arts group enthralled the crowd with their ani-mated presentations — Alexandro Mario Brinoni reciting Jab-berwocky; Annalis Carter-Arias reciting Dying Maybe; Ca-dence Halfnights and Allison McKinnon re-citing Cinderella; Em-ily Swan reciting Jona-than’s Farm; and Selina Farkas reciting Soccer Girl, a poem which she wrote herself.
There were two sets of intriguing gui-tar duos this year by Adam Sytsma and Lucas Nowotny play-ing Beagle Mania and Shannon and Syrus Mohammed playing Arkansas Traveller.
All in all the evening showcased the talents of more than 30 indi-viduals, choirs, singers, musical theatre per-formers, pianists, and
violinists, all of vary-ing ages, and all excel-ling in their particular year of study.
During the intermis-sion and at the end of the concert numerous awards and bursaries were presented and delegates recommend-ed by the various fes-tival adjudicators to attend the provincial festival in Penticton June 3 to 7 were an-nounced.
Naomi Lomavatu was recommended as the Piano Intermedi-ate Competitor.
Vocal participants will include Keziah Froese as the Junior B Musical Theatre Com-petitor and Mackenzie Howse as the interme-diate competitor.
Speech Arts will have the largest group of local participants in the provincial festi-val: junior competitor, Joseph Brinoni; junior observer, Annalise
Carter-Arias; interme-diate competitor, Paul Noble; intermediate observer, Paige Brino-ni; and senior competi-tor, Luke Noble.
Guitar Seller Instru-mental Award: Syrus and Shannon Mu-hammed and Adam Sytsma and Lucas No-wotny.

Monica Lamb-Yorski photoXatsul Chief Bev Sellars won the 2014 George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature for her book They Called Me Number One: Secrets and Survival at an Indian Residential School.
Xatsull (Soda Creek) Chief Bev Sellars has won the 2014 George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Litera-ture.
Sellars says she was honoured to be pre-sented with the award during a ceremony at Okanagan College in Kelowna April 3.
“At the award cer-emony I met George Ryga’s sister and one of his oldest friends,” Sellars said.
“His friend told me that if George were alive today he would be so honoured that I
had won the award.”Sellars received the
George Ryga Award for her book They Called Me Number One: Secrets and Sur-vival at an Indian Resi-dential School that was released last spring, by Talon Books.
In the book, Sellars shares her own story and the stories of many other people who at-tended the St. Joseph Mission School south of Williams Lake.
The George Ryga Award is given each year to a British Co-lumbia writer who has achieved an outstand-ing degree of social awareness owing to a
new book published in the preceding calendar year.
Books chosen for the shortlist are outstand-ing works of both lit-erary and social value that open up discus-sion about social and cultural issues.
They Called Me Number One: Secrets and Survial at an Indian Residential School has also been short-listed for the BC Book Prize 2014 Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Award.
This award ceremo-ny takes place May 3.
Sellars will be unable to attend so her hus-band Bill Wilson is go-ing to go in her place.

In their first season as a com-bined high school, the Lake City Falcons girls rugby team proudly held the BC Rugby High School Girls Provincial Sevens Bowl Fi-nal trophy high on Saturday.
Lake City downed Saanich’s Stelly’s Secondary School Queen Bees 22-7 in the online live-streamed bowl final, signalling a ninth-place finish following two days of intense competition April 24-25 at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
After finishing day one of the tournament with one win and two losses the Falcons were placed into the third tier. Following the round robin the ninth place result in the 16-team tournament was the best
the lakecity squad could achieve.The weekend started out with
the Falcons meeting the fifth-ranked team in the province, Vanier. Williams Lake’s Laura Pfleiderer took the scrumhalf po-sition scoring the first of two tries. Sherdian Davis added a try of her own, however, the Falcons fell 17-12 in a hard-fought, close game.
Next, Lake City took on the No. 1 seed, Bateman. After tries from Natasha Johnson and Skye Forcier, and a conversion from Laura, Bateman squeaked out a win.
Lake City then shellacked the No. 13 seed McMath, 36-0, in their final round robin seeding game. Laura scored three times and made three kicks, while Lau-rel White, Carleigh Walters and Morgan Grey added supplemen-
tary scoring.Day two of the tournament saw
the Falcons march away with a 22-0 win over Elgin Park. Forcier scored twice in the first half, while Johnson scored once. Anna Brace-well added a try in the second half, while Laura nailed a conversion.
Next, Lake City continued to roll, claiming another 22-0 victory — this time over North Vancou-ver to place them in the Bowl Fi-nal. Scoring in the winning effort were Emma Pfleiderer, Bracewell, Johnson and Davis.
In the Bowl Final — with Grade 12s Davis, Anne Butters and Guilanna Durfeld playing in their final sevens game for Lake City — the Falcons didn’t disappoint.
After falling behind 7-0 in the first half Lake City, after a quick line change, battled back with
Walters, Emma and Bracewell scoring tries and Davis adding a conversion in the 22-7 Bowl Final win.
The team, coached by Mor-ley Wilson and assisted by Erica Pfleiderer, were led by co-captains Davis and Butters throughout the tournament.
Players on the team ranged from grades 10-12 and, overall, the weekend was very successful. Ev-ery player and especially the coach Wilson put copious amounts of effort into the team and its accom-plishments.
It was the first trophy won by the new combined Lake City Secondary School, and it will be proudly displayed in our halls.
Carleigh Walters is a team mem-ber of the Lake City Falcons girls rugby team.

Canadian Indoor 3D Archery Championships (Lethbridge, Alta., April 18-20)
Lakecity nets second at indoor tourneyWilliams Lake had
a strong showing last weekend taking sec-ond place at the an-nual Quesnel Co-Ed Soccer Tournament.
Winners of the tour-nament the four pre-vious years, Williams Lake came up just short this time around, falling 6-5 in the final to UNBC of Prince George.
“This was easily the most competitive the tournament had ever been as all four semi-finalists had a legiti-mate shot to win the six-team tournament,” said lakecity striker Sean Glanville.
Williams Lake opened round robin play Saturday with a 3-3 draw against Youngblood of Ques-nel. In game two the lakecity earned a 7-4 win over Prince George’s Terminators, before dropping a 6-4 decision to UNBC — a skilled team composed primarily of current and former varsity players — in its final round robin game.
With one win, one
tie and one loss Wil-liams Lake placed fourth out of six teams in the round robin to setup a tilt with unde-feated top seed Tiki Taka of Prince George in Sunday’s semifinal.
There, Williams Lake battled back from a 4-3 deficit late in the game as Nick Ia-chetta fooled the Tika Taka keeper to force overtime. In overtime,
Glanville scored the winner to give Wil-liams Lake a 5-4 win.
In the other semifi-nal match UNBC de-feated Page’s Posse in a shutout to advance to the final.
“We were thor-oughly outplayed in the opening half,” Glanville said, whose team trailed 4-1 at the break. “We showed a lot of heart to come
back to within one goal at 5-4, but eventu-ally fell 6-5.”
The squad earned $400 for their second-place finish.
Team members in-cluded Luke Moger, Mikel Brogan, Rajan Mangat, Derek Funk, Greg Williams, Ash-ley Callander, Vanessa Hansen, Katie McMa-hen, Chelann Davis, Glanville and Iachetta.
The Williams Lake team of Rajan Mangat (back from left), Luke Moger, Sean Glanville, Derek Funk, Mike Brogan, Greg Williams, Nick Iachetta, Vanessa Hansen (front from left), Chelann Davis, Ashley Callander and Katie McMahen took second place last weekend at the annual Quesnel Co-Ed Soccer Tournament.
Members from Wil-liams Lake’s Shogun Martial Arts Acad-emy laced up their gis April 12 in Surrey for the BC Open.
A qualifier for the Canadian National Martial Arts Associa-tion (CNMA) World Championships to be held during the Sep-tember long weekend at the Olympic Oval in Richmond, Regan Miciuk, with a silver medal at the BC Open in kata, earned a spot on the Canadian team.
Miciuk will now join Tanna Lauri-ente, Kurtis Olson, Raiden Lainchbury and Isaac Lauren on Team Canada, who all qualified last fall at a tournament in the Lower Mainland. Miciuk also picked up a bronze medal in point fighting at the tournament.
The top two com-petitors in each disci-pline at the BC Open were awarded a spot on the Canadian team.

New Golf family offers quality at the right priceThe new seventh generation VW Golf arrives later this spring with a 2015 model designation.I have already had a chance to drive three examples of the new edition in Europe so I can offer you a sneak peek at what this very popular VW has going for it before it arrives here. The all-new car might look like the previous Golf but it is built on a platform that is shared across the VW group and represents a massive investment for the German manufacturer. This new platform, called MQB, enables the engineers to build all kinds of new products, be they bigger, smaller, wider or taller. What went into the design of the Golf represents a big step forward for Volkswagen as the latest model is 100kg lighter than the outgoing car but it is bigger, stiffer and safer than before. LooksIt could be argued that the new Golf looks too much like the older model but interacting with this new product quickly displays a level of refinement and finish that might be found in an upmarket Audi product. (This MQB platform is shared with the all-new Audi A3). Starting at $18,995, the base Golf is priced right in the heart of the compact market but this car sports a fully independent suspension, direct injection turbocharged engine and more power than much of the competition, at 170hp. The Golf GTI is my personal favourite due to the bad-boy looks, bigger wheels and improved engine and suspension. It starts at $27,995. The hot-hatch Golf R will arrive about a year after
the Golf and GTI and will come in at roughly the same price as the last R, right around $40,000 but fully loaded.InsideThe upside to having a slightly bigger platform is interior space and the cabin of the latest Golf does feel bigger, especially side-to-side. The centre console is wider and the dash is fitted with all-new switches and dials. Once again, the feel and look is almost Audi quality. Having a chance to drive the base car all the way up to the Golf R showed just how good the base car is. The only difference is the sportier seats
and splashier trim on the more expensive cars, but the overall design is the same from car to car and all exemplify the simple, yet elegant approach VW takes with all its interiors. DriveGone is the old 2.5-litre. 5-cylinder, replaced by an all-new 1.8-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder base engine. This engine too produces 170 but is more efficient, responsive and features state of the art technology. In the compact set, this kind of technology is unheard of at the roughly $19,000 asking price. Taking it up a notch is the legendary Golf GTI, now with 210hp from a new 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder. I had a shot driving this last year in Austria and I can say without question, this combination is fantastic. The Golf R is the ultimate Golf with roughly 300hp and an all wheel drive system. The same system is used in the all-new Audi S3 but this car comes fully loaded and will be roughly $4,000 less than the starting price of
the S3. A smart shopper might want to wait for the R over the S.
Verdict
This new Golf family is set to take on some very established players in the compact segment. With a hatchback design, this car has always been a more practical design than sedans like the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. With superb road manners, advanced engines and German engineering, the starting price looks like a winner. A big reason for this is the Golf is assembled in Mexico and these cars come into Canada without duty, (Thanks NAFTA) so VW added more content and kept the price low. The good news for diesel lovers is that the TDI en-gine will be available right out of the gate and now represents about 50 percent of Golf sales. This engine too has been modified to make it as fuel efficient as possible. All told, the Golf is more polished car than much of the competition and offers a trim level and price for all types of buyers, from basic to flat-out performance.
The LowdownPower: 1.8L turbo with 170hp, 2.0L turbo with 210hp, 2.0L turbo with 300hp and 2.0L diesel.Fill-up: Not available yet. Sticker price: $18,995-$40,000

NEW YORK – There was more sizzle in my New York steak dinner than on the show floor at the Big Apple’s international auto show.It seems the Big Four shot their lightning bolts at the preceding Detroit and Los Angeles auto extravaganzas and left it to the import man-ufacturers to dazzle here.Nissan did not disappoint with the unveiling of a classy looking crossover in the shape of the all-wheel drive 2015 Nissan Murano. The mid-size model first showed up in 2002 and this new model marks the birth of the third-generation. The Nissan-named V-Motion nose and boomerang-shaped taillights ensure it makes an impression on the observer, coming and going, and distinguishes itself from its rivals.Inside, up to five passengers can expect more of a luxury ride than they might have enjoyed in the outgoing version – heated and cooled front seats will impress those upfront. The trend in this segment to include huge sunroofs continues here.Under the hood, Nissan stays with the trusty 3.5-litre six-cylinder powerplant matched to a continuously variable transmission. Expect to see the Murano in the showrooms at the tail end of the year.Before moving on, the Nissan Sport Sedan Concept should be mentioned as it offers a clue to what the new Maxima might resem-ble. And boy, is it a looker despite the horrible orange
colour of the show car! It too features a panoramic roof stretching almost from the windshield to the rear window. A production model version is expected later in the year, which suggests the L.A. show might benefit from that timetable.Any new Toyota Camry is
an instant hit, especially in North America where it’s been the best selling car for 12 years. Despite that, the Japanese manufacturer launched an all-new 2015 model, just three years after introducing a redesign.It incorporates design touch-es now appearing in sibling models, including a deeper grille that more resembles an upmarket Lexus. Interior materials are upgraded and a large central display matches the design trend of its competitors. Two trims are added; a sporty XSE with some luxury touches and a Hybrid SE. Toyota sticks with its 2.5-litre, four-cylinder, and 3.5-litre, six-cylinder engines plus its Hybrid Synergy Drive.
Hyundai would like to put a serious dent in the Toyota Camry success story with its own mid-size sedan – the redesigned Sonata. It’s likely the introduction of a sharp looking Sonata in 2011 helped prompt Toyota into taking a serious look at up-ping the ante in the Camry. Other competitors have also risen to the challenge. Now the seventh-generation, newly styled, sharper looking 2015 Sonata raises the bar again with improved ride and handling plus advanced driver assistance and safety equipment. Unlike the Camry, the Sonata stays with purely four-cylin-der engines. Standard is a 2.4-litre power plant and a turbocharged 2.0L four is an option.The one domestic man-ufacturer that did show up with something more exciting than the rest was Jeep, which introduced the compact Renegade. It is the iconic brand’s first foray into the small SUV segment.Its funky looks and fuel efficiency should make it an urban dweller hit but it also boasts best-in-class off-road capability, which may just bring in buyers from the growing outdoor adventure seekers.Two engine choices: a 2.4-litre Tigershark engine with MultiAir2 paired to the segment’s first nine-speed automatic transmission, or a 1.4-litre MultiAir Turbo en-gine with six-speed manual transmission.Prices for all of the above closer to launch when pencils have been sharpened and each figure out how

“I’d knocked off 200,000 km. Hopefully, she’s too naïve to notice”
I surprised my family with a trip to Hawaii. They didn’t have a clue how I paid for it. But they thought I was the best dad in the world. While we were away, I bought a car on eBay. It had over 350,000 km on it. No one will want to buy this piece of junk, I thought.Unless. I could just lower the mileage on it a little bit. And it won’t hurt anybody, right?One problem – I had no idea how to change an odometer*. But as it turns out, it’s much easier than I’d expected. With an odometer tool, I changed the reading to 164,500 km. Still a lot, but less than half the real clicks. My ad: “Minivan – old but in great condition! Only 164,500kms - it sat in my garage for the last 5 years. Must sell. If you’re looking for an older, but reliable and safe vehicle, call my cell and we’ll negotiate.”Looking back, I realized I’d knocked almost 200,000 km off the vehicle. But I shined it up and put some newer used tires on it so they wouldn’t give away its true condition.Will this get me in trouble? I wondered. I wasn’t doing anything wrong, really – this just gives me a chance to make some more money on the vehicle. I got a phone call from a young single mom who could only afford an older vehicle. We decided to meet at her son’s school. As I was showing her the car, I noticed the carpet, the door handles and the pedals kind of gave away its true condition. Hopefully she’s too naïve to notice, I thought.
Forty minutes later, our exchange was complete. I probably made an extra $2,000 because of the odometer! If I’d only done this to all the other cars I sold!Suddenly, my mind began processing the implications. That minivan was pretty much at the end of its life. That young mom is expecting the vehicle to last her for a few more years. At best, I see it lasting one more.Parts will start failing, calling for expensive repairs. I’m certain she doesn’t have the money for that. All I’m hoping is that it doesn’t break down on the highway. Maybe there was a reason I never did it before. Maybe, just maybe, I had a conscience up until now.
*Odometer: The law allows an odometer to be replaced when broken, but the repair must be recorded and the true mileage needs to be disclosed. CarProof and ICBC vehicle history reports can reveal more about how far a vehicle has really traveled. Even AirCare, where available, can help. And Walt is wrong; altering an odometer is a crime.

Like education, the motorcycle gear you wear, whether on the road or trails, is vital to your safety. Don’t believe me? Just ask someone who, unfortunate-ly, has had a spill. Here’s an example. A colleague of mine caught gravel around a bend while riding in the States. She hit the guardrail then passed out. She was then airlifted to hospital where she suffered a minor concus-sion, and a few bruises and scrapes. Even the doctors were amazed how good shape she was in.It was said to her that her gear likely saved her life. She was wearing leathers, gloves, protective boots, and a helmet. Granted, not everyone is as lucky, but you get my point. Furthermore, for those who have experienced an accident, and have been in proper attire, I’m pretty sure you weren’t thinking. “Gee, I really wish I wore my shorts and flip flops!”When I ride, I’m in full garb. Depending on what type of riding I’m taking on that day, I’ll dress appropriately. I’m an advocate of riding gear. All of it. Helmet: The government in British Columbia only enforces one piece of safety equipment when riding on the road. That’s a helmet. If you’re not going to invest any money in anything else, protect your noggin’. I’m not suggesting buying the
most expensive and fanci-est lid out there because most of us don’t have thousands of dollars for a carbon fibre helmet. In fact, I’ll add this too. Make sure it fits properly. Local motorcycle shops generally have trained staff in fitting helmets. They’re supposed to fit snugly. I’ve been told that even the cheapest helmet that fits perfectly will do more for you than an expensive one that’s just not right for you.You only have one head. Use it. And protect it.Jackets:There are a couple of common materials used in jackets: leather and textile. There are more, but the two listed are quite prominent. Each have their own bene-fits. Textile jackets tend to be more breathable, while leather has been said to be better protection. You can argue each case.Some jackets come with armor (added protection in the back, elbows, and
shoulders.) Some don’t. I suggest armor only because it protects you that much more. However, there are accessories you can purchase if your jacket you choose doesn’t come with it built in. Pants:Leather, textile and Kevlar jeans are common riding pants. Kevlar jeans are getting better and better as more research and development is conducted. I say, if you’re going for the “cool” look, spend a little more for the added protection. Boots:Not everyone will want heavily reinforced boots. That’s fine. But if you’re going to ride, get leather footwear that at least covers your anklebone.Speaking of which, have you ever hit your ankle-bone on a table leg? Hurts, doesn’t it. Now imagine a 220-kilo machine falling on it.Think safety.What’s great about the industry now, is the availability to cool riding shoes that have reinforced heels and ankle protection. You can look good and be protected. Bonus.Gloves:There are a few styles of gloves. There are ones that cover just your hands/fingers and ones called gauntlet gloves that cover past your wrists. Some gloves also have reinforced points with carbon fibre to prevent further damage. Like with a helmet, and the
rest of your gear, get gloves that fit you, like, a glove! Too much room can cause blisters. Too little room cuts off circulation.Off-Road:If you’re an adventure-tour-ing rider — or would like to be – textile is the way to go. This material is much better for the changing weather you’ll encounter on the road less travelled. It’s breathable and general-ly has a few layers. So you
can take off or put them on when needed.Dirt Biking:Just because you fall in dirt doesn’t mean it can’t hurt! Wearing elbow and kneepads are recommend-ed. A lot of dirt riders will also add a chest protector/breastplate, gloves, boots and goggles. Along with their helmet, of course.Accessories:If you want added piece of mind, that’s available, too.
I ride with a back protector with built-in kidney protec-tors that I put on under my jacket. I look like a Ninja Turtle, but I don’t care! They work.A full chest protector is also available along with I’ve only scratched the
surface for gear out there, but these are the basics to getting started. Bottom line, you likely won’t regret being fully suited on the road.
