The Easter Bunny was hopping around Boitanio Mall Saturday for the Rose Lake/Miocene 4H Club’s Easter Petting Zoo. Hundreds came throughout the day to pet the animals, participate in a fun cake walk and meet the Easter Bunny.

The BC Northern Real Estate Board (BCNREB) released its quarterly report Wednesday indicating that property sales are up in Williams Lake area compared to the previous year’s first quarter.

Over the last three months, 63 properties were sold through MLS in the Williams Lake area, up from 53 in the same time frame last year. The value of these properties was $13.3 million compared to a value of $10.4 million in 2011.

In addition to the 29 single family homes sold, 13 homes on acreage, seven manufactured homes in parks and two manufactured homes on land have changed hands in the first quarter, says the BCNREB report.

As of March 31, there were 414 properties listed on the MLS in the Williams Lake area, compared to 409 during the first quarter of 2011.

Local real estate agent and director on the BCNREB Willy Burger says the region has faired well the more north you go.

While the Williams Lake area saw a “light” increase, Quesnel’s was substantial, but in 100 Mile House there was a decrease in volume and sales.

“The interior is definitely active and at the moment there is an increase in listings coming in. That’s typical in the spring as more sellers are going out on the market,” explains Burger, adding with the rates being the way they are it makes it desirable for buyers to come into the market.

Interior home prices steady Continued From Page A1 The industry is seeing more first-time buyers hoping to get into the market and prices have been fairly stable.

“We haven’t had a huge surge on the values of properties, which is good for buyers and good for sellers because buyers are there.”

In the report, stats indicate that average home prices have increased by around $20,000, from

Correction On April 5, the Tribune reported that Paul Kandola would be disqualified from running in the next election for not filing his campaign spending papers by the March 19 deadline.

If he pays the late fee of $500 and files his papers by April 18, Kandola would be able to run again.

He is only disqualified if he fails to meet the deadline.

The Tribune apologizes for the error.

$212,831 to $233,082, however, Burger says stats can be easily skewed.

If a few high-end homes are sold, then that can bring the average up. In 2010, he explains, there were more low-end priced homes sold.

“You always have to take the statistics lightly,” Burger suggests, adding all that said, it’s definitely positive for buyers and sellers out there.

Burger has been on the BCNREB since 2005, although he took one year

off, and now he’s being “recycled,” he says with a chuckle.

While there’s activity with first-time buyers and people wanting to upgrade, or move in or out of the rural areas to the city and vice versa — what Burger describes as a pendulum that’s constantly swinging — he also notices there’s a shortage of affordable housing in the area.

“Some people just cannot afford to go into the market because they are

in that income bracket. It’s tough out there for people who have a part-time job, or three or four part-time jobs to make ends meet,” he says.

It’s nice to talk about first-time buyers, but they still need money, so affordable housing is a tough issue.

Over his years in the real estate business since 1991, Burger has seen a few curves.

“Years ago it was more affordable, but wages were a bit different.”

Award criteria changed Council endorsed revised Accessibility Award of Merit criteria, as recommended by the Accessibility Advisory Committee, to tighten the Award of Merit criteria, April 3.

It is more concise and easier to complete. The committee recommends that a sub-committee of three members of the Accessibility Advisory Committee review the applications and visit the nominees prior to sending their recommendations to council.

Council also approved changes to the bylaw and its associated application form and application guide for the North End Industrial Tax Exemption, and gave the first three readings to the revised bylaw.

The changes improve clarity of the tax exemption program. The application for the program and the application guide will be posted to the city’s website. Contact: Geoff Goodall at 250-392-1766

VISION AND HEARING

Your 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 fi nd learning to read more diffi 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.

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.

Taxi Saver Program The Taxi Saver Program from BC Transit, available in Williams Lake, provides registered handyDART clients with greater convenience for spontaneous travel when handyDART cannot accommodate their travel needs.

Taxi Saver provides a 50% subsidy towards the cost of taxi rides. Eligible individuals can purchase a $80 package of Taxi Saver coupons at a cost of $40. This package can be purchased once every month. The coupons come in denominations of $1, $2 and $5.

The handyDART client uses the coupons to pay the dollar meter rate of taxi fare. For example, if a taxi fare is $5.80, the passenger pays $5.00 in coupons and .80¢ in change.

(Taxi drivers do not give change on Taxi Saver coupons.)

You need a handyPASS to buy and use Taxi Saver coupons. handyPASS eligibility is based on what type of disability you have, and how it prevents you from using conventional public transit.

Those who want to use the handyDART service and the Taxi Saver Program must first register. For more information, please call 250-398-7812.

The 2012 City of Williams Lake budget calls for an increase of 12 weekly handyDART service hours, including the addition of Saturday service.

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.

Stray cats continue to be a major problem for lakecity Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer According to the Williams Lake & District SPCA branch manager Liz Dighton, Williams Lake has earned the distinction of having the highest number of cats entering the branch per capita within B.C. Just under 1,000 animals came through the Williams Lake SPCA shelter in 2011. Two hundred of those were brought in from within the city limits and another 83 by the city’s animal control.

“Of these 562 were cats and kittens,” Dighton told city council Tuesday.

Often cats are abandoned at the transfer station’s share shed, she said.

The numbers reflect stray cats and irresponsibility that has allowed them to roam or be abandoned.

To help tackle the high number of animals coming to the shelter, the branch fundraises to care for around 1,000 animals a year. It also focuses on public education activities.

Education is crucial Dighton insisted and said that locally the

branch has to step up and be pushy with owners, especially people who own cats.

It’s an issue that is growing quickly and it’s a community issue, she said.

“Unfortunately if your parents didn’t spay and neuter then many people won’t spay and neuter so we have to get out there and show them why we should,” Dighton said.

Dighton told council the branch has 3.4 employed positions, five volunteers on its community council, 10 regular volunteers that will walk dogs or whatever is needed, 20 other volunteers that help with special events and fundraising, and approximately 10 families willing to foster animals, normally kittens.

In 1998, Pat Lauren passed away and left a generous legacy to the local branch and in 2002, it was Lauren’s daughter Kirstin Lauren who stepped up to develop the branch’s biggest fundraiser, Paws For A Cause.

This year’s event will take place on Sept. 9 and is always an opportunity for people to gather with other like-minded animal caring folk.

There really are people out there who appreciate the benefits of having loving animal companions, adopted and otherwise made easy friends, Dighton said, adding the Paws for A Cause is always a chance to support animals in need.

Each year the SPCA collaborates with Scotia Bank throughout B.C. to hold the event.

Dighton says every branch in the province will have something going on during that weekend.

A buddy walk traditionally sees every manner of mutt with family in tow showing up for the morning celebration.

The event keeps growing too. In the first year 2002, 25 people came out for the walk, and in 2011 there were over 115 registered walkers and many more showed up to participate.

Organizers are starting to get details ready for this year’s walk and will begin sharing more once they are finalized.

Occasionally local vets will come and put on displays, and Dighton reminded there is always the successful silent auction.

“All money we raise stays here,” she added.

City signs off on CN Rail pedestrian underpass to river valley trail Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer City council approved a number of items at the April 3 council meeting.

They include: • The corporate officer was authorized by council to sign the community recreation program contribution agreement with the province on behalf of the city. The agreement is for the pe-

destrian underpass of CN Rail to the River Valley Trail. Under the agreement the city will receive $550,640 while the city’s share is $137,669.

• an in-kind donation of city dump trucks to be operated by qualified volunteer union staff during the upcoming Williams Lake Stampede.

• an amendment to the B.C. Transit Annual Operating Agree-

ment for the expansion of the transit service to Sugar Cane. Beginning on Nov. 1, hours of the service were expanded resulting in a cost of $10,748, which is being covered in total by the Williams Lake Indian Band.

• Sending thank-you letters to all standing members of the Advisory Planning Commission, after passing a motion to disband the commission.

• a lease between Westcan Aircraft Sales & Salvage Ltd. and Arduini Helicopters Ltd. for 1,235 metres square located at the airport. The annual rate is $1.86 per square metre or $2,330.58 a year.

Arduini is taking on a lease that already exists that will not expire until 2021.

• awarding a two-year contract to Everbest Janitorial for $68,865 for year one and

$70,116 for year two for janitorial services at city hall, the fire hall and the worksyard.

• awarding City Spaces Consulting Ltd. a $30,000-contract to complete a housing need and demand study, supporting the work of the Cariboo Lodge Task Force.

The city received 10 proposals. The cost of the study will be covered by funds from Canadian Mortage And

Housing Corporation and the Real Estate Foundation, as well as $5,000 from the current city budget.

• Coun. Sue Zacharias will now be an alternate council representative on the Williams Lake Business Improvement Area and attend meetings when Coun. Geoff Bourdon, the council representative, cannot attend.

• Council authorized the director of financial

services to sign on behalf of the city and the province for the city to receive $581,000 under the Strategic Community Investment Funds Agreement.

It’s not new funding, but is a combination of two existing fund transfers — Small Community Protection and Traffic Fine Revenue. What’s new is the province’s extension of the fund over the next three years.

Taxation shift meeting tonight Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer At tonight’s committee of the whole meeting, council will be discussing industrial tax redistribution options.

Various scenarios are being proposed including a three-per-cent tax increase that could include a one-per-cent shift to business, or a one-per-cent shift to business and light industry shared 50/50, or a one-per-cent shift to light industry alone.

At the April 3 public budget meeting council passed a motion to look at a tax shift.

In seconding the motion, Mayor Kerry Cook said having the second highest industrial tax With a couple of clicks, add your event today.

rate in the province doesn’t help.

“We’ve got a couple of things that we are facing. With industrial assessments in the city boundary, we’ve seen how they’ve decreased over the years. We just had a $2 million reduction,” Cook said, adding the business attraction strategy that came forward last year recommended a tax shift.

“It’s not coming from one proponent or one mill. It’s far bigger and I think as a city it’s important that we start to look at that whole picture,” Cook said, even if those steps are small.

Coun. Surinderpal Rathor told the mayor he didn’t think anyone would disagree with

her, but his dilemma is the overall three-percent tax increase.

“When you shift another per cent from industrial you’re putting more burden on the people. Wherever I go the majority of the time people are telling me increasing taxes is not the way to go,” Rathor said, adding he hasn’t heard from anyone that their residential assessments have gone down.

He said he wants to give a break to industry, but under the circumstances doesn’t think he can.

Coun. Geoff Bourdon said the shift will not only be for the present, but for down the road.

“If a mill goes down and all of sudden the

mill rate spikes because it’s a small tax base to start with, to me this is long term averting of a problem,” Bourdon said, adding one per cent may look insignificant in one year, but over 10 years it would be significant.

It is a hard optic, Bourdon added, and suggested council will have to take the heat for it if it’s something council supports. “There’s no way around it, but if I were to sit down with any of my constituents and explain it to them, I’m confident that most people would come to the same conclusion,” he said.

The committee of the whole meeting starts at 6 p.m.

Chronic pain self-management leader will visit lakecity in June Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer It’s no secret that chronic pain interferes with daily life, and that thousands of people in the province are living with it, says Terry Cayer, program co-ordinator for the Interior Health region.

In June, Cayer will be in Williams Lake to facilitate a chronic pain self-management leader training workshop.

“I will be training leaders who will then deliver six-session workshops in their communities,” Cayer says, adding the workshops are designed to help any adult living with chronic pain.

Those can be things like cancer, arthritis, soft tissue damage or fibromyalgia.

In the program, participants will learn the importance of fitness and exercise in managing chronic pain, but the program also puts a lot of emphasis on pacing activities with rest.

“For a lot of us, that’s a hard thing to do. Especially when we have good days and we decide we better get everything done, but then what happens is we usually pay a price for that after the fact,” Cayer explains.

There are also mental

activities that help decipher emotions, and how to manage symptoms by using such things as guided imagery, relaxation, and other calming strategies.

The importance of working with a healthcare team in an effective way and developing effective communication skills is also tackled.

“One of the big things for people with chronic pain is dealing with fatigue and sleep issues. We will talk about all those undermining things that really impact how we’re feeling and able to cope with daily living,” Cayer says.

A plus of the program, she adds, is its gentle pace. People in chronic pain are often hesitant to involve themselves with physical activity and movement.

“We offer a moving easy program that is built right into the training and built right into the workshops,” she notes.

It’s a 12-minute gentle program for the entire body, contained on a CD, that workshop participants can take home afterwards, along with a workbook that’s filled with information, including ways to describe pain to a health-care professional.

“It’s got fantastic de-

scriptions about how to be more clear and concise when describing symptoms and what your pain feels like. Even how to rate it between one and 10,” Cayer says.

Included is a list of trigger foods that have been linked to pain, strategies for sleeping better, and helpful information about fibromyalgia.

The program is not a “sit and listen” type of format. Instead participants will have a chance to walk around, move and interact.

“People don’t have to be worried that it’s going to be a lecture,” Cayer says.

While the program is training volunteers, there are funds available later to help cover the cost of travel, should the leaders begin offering workshops in their communities.

“We don’t want people out of pocket to help us provide this service in the community.”

The University of Victoria’s Centre on Aging developed the chronic pain self-management program, which came out of the original chronic disease self-management program the centre created and began offering in 2000.

Since its inception, close to 20,000 have

gone through the disease management program, and the centre has heard consistently that people love it.

“We’re seeing the same trend with the chronic pain self-management. People feel it’s time well spent and that they’ve learned some valuable information.

A lot of the information they’ve heard before, but now it makes sense once they have gone through our program.”

Cayer is also noticing that people from as young as their early 20s are enrolling.

“It’s unfortunate for all of us that we’re dealing with this kind of chronic pain, but it’s great to be able to offer a program that is user friendly. We don’t use a lot of technical terms.

“We keep it simple so that it’s understandable by everyone and practical, giving people skills they can use on their own at home.”

While Cayer doesn’t claim the workshop can

work miracles, she says it does provide strategies that have been effective for many people.

“We’re thrilled to be offer this,” she adds.

The workshop will run June 5-8 from 9 a.m - 4 p.m. at Central Interior Community Services Co-op, Room 116, 51 Fourth Ave. The leader training is free, but preregistration is required by calling 1-866-9023767. More information is available at www.selfmanagementbc.ca.

O

pposition parties objected to the appointment of Federal Auditor General Michael Ferguson because he isn’t bilingual, but his lack of French didn’t stop him from handing them some heavy ammunition in his first report.

The AG found the government’s process for purchasing F-35 fighter jets wanting, and French that Mr. Connection Harper & Co. Diana French misled parliament and Canadians on the costs.

He said the 65 stealth jets will cost $25 billion, not $15 billion as advertised. When Kevin Page, the parliamentary budget officer warned of this last year, the government poohpoohed him.

In spite of the bluster it’s unlikely anyone will be held accountable. The Conservatives have been in warmish if not hot water before, and life goes on. The Party repaid over $200,000 after Elections Canada found their “in and out� financing in the 2006 election violated campaign funding rules.

Even $15 billion, never mind $24 billion, is a lot of money for a government that’s broke. The jets are called killing machines. Maybe the PM and Defense Minister Peter Mackay can explain why we need them. Who do we want to kill?

What sacrifices do they want us to make to pay for their war games?

According to reports from the US, Congress is questioning the F-35 project because it is so far behind schedule, so far over budget, and some tests have been disappointing.

Some critics claim the F-35 will be obsolete before it ever gets off the ground. Other countries besides Canada have been involved in the project, and some are backing off Maybe we should too.

Our Viewpoint

Lots to see in our own back yard The sunny weather offered our family the opportunity to get out and explore more of our new home region over the weekend.

After all, we’ve only been here since the end of August.

With guests from the Kootenays and family from Prince Rupert in tow, we visited Farwell Canyon for the second time, taking them down to the old ranch site by the river to see the aging log buildings and modern-day campsites.

Leisurely we turned over rocks, watched the Chilcotin River run by, took hundreds of photographs, and wondered more about the area’s past.

Looking up to one of the dunelike ridges we saw at first what we thought were trees, but as they began to move, we realized they were people.

Next time, we’ll have to figure out how to access that ridge.

On Sunday, after our Easter brunch, we drove down to the head of the River Valley Trail on Mackenzie Ave., dropped off one runner, two bikers and a dog.

The rest of us drove up past the transfer station, down the winding dirt road to the mid-point of the River Valley Trail to start walking. This time we made it all the way to the Fraser River.

Wow. Along the way we saw Canada geese, mallard ducks, other hikers, runners, and dogs, all out enjoying the sun.

By the time we returned, the walkers had put in 10 kms and the rest much more.

With all the dust in the air at this time of year, it’s important for us city dwellers to get out and breath in some forest air.

This weekend was a good reminder of that, plus the fact there are so many great areas to explore right in our own backyard.

ire season will soon be upon us and I think this is a good opportunity to reflect on past destruction and remember what we can do to prevent forest fires.

First and foremost, it should be known that there currently is an Open Fire Ban for the Cariboo MLA region.

Musings Effect i v e Donna Barnett April 2, the size of fires within the Cariboo region has been restricted. This prohibits: The burning of any waste, slash or other materials (piled or unpiled) at a size larger than one metre by one metre.

The burning of more than two open fires of any size at the same time.

Stubble or grass fires of any size over any area.

We’re all aware of the dangers of forest fires. People can lose their homes. Beautiful forests can be destroyed. Helpless animals killed or displaced. The destruction and suffering can have no end. But this also is something that costs taxpayers in a huge way.

B.C. has spent $402.6 million fighting fires in the past three fire seasons:  $66.7 million in 2011, $220 million in 2010 and $115.9 million in 2009.

We were very fortunate to have had a mild fire season last year, but we know all too well the potential horrors. Â Here are some useful fire safety tips: Check with authorities to find out if there are restrictions in your area.

Consider wind conditions. If the wind is strong enough to carry sparks to combustible material, do not burn.

Keep fires at a reasonable distance away from any flammable materials or structures.

Keep camping fires small – the best cooking fire is small and hot.

Keep a shovel and at least eight litres of water nearby in case the fire escapes.

Never leave a camp fire unattended.

Extinguish fires by stirring water into the ashes until it is cold to the touch – hot coals can reignite fires.

If you need help planning your burning activities, contact the Cariboo Wildfire Management Branch Fire Centre at (250) 989-2600..

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Appreciation expressed for Community Achievement winners Dear Editor: Congratulations to Dave Dickson, of Williams Lake and Catherine Belleau, of Alkali Lake; both very worthy recipients of 2012 BC Community Achievement Awards.

While Dave Dickson is well-known in the lakecity for his many contributions to making our community a better and safer place to live, Catherine Belleau is not so wellknown to the people of Williams Lake. Catherine, an elder of the Es-

ketemc First Nation at Esk’et, was honoured for her thirty-plus years as a child care worker in her community. This diminutive, soft-spoken lady has nurtured and cared for hundreds of children (multiple generations of some families) in day-

care with kindness, patience and love. Luckily, for the children, she has no plans for retirement anytime soon. Now 73, Belleau smiles and says quietly, “maybe when I’m 80, I might not be working here.� This public recognition shines a light

on Catherine’s daily dedication to the well-being of all children, and is richly deserved. Kukwstsetsemc (Thank you), Cathy!

Sincerely, Liz Twan Alkali Lake

Teacher dispute: what is wrong with this picture?

Editor: Is there any question as to whether teachers are respected in all communities of Canada including B.C.?

I think not, they have taught us, our children and grandchildren, and have proven to be good at their jobs so that point is not in question.

However, is there a question

LETTERS ALWAYS WELCOME

about their union leadership and objectives?

To me it would appear so and by the admission of teachers themselves.

To point out the fact Canada is and has weathered the world economic situation much better than most countries is not news.

The Canadian approach to common sense is good old-fashioned

reasoning, consideration, tolerance, fairness and understanding.

To see the consequences where this has not and is not being practiced all we need do is look at most of the European countries, most notably Greece, Italy and Ireland.

We need not look any farther than union demands most notably by government employees starting at the equivalents in those countries

of federal, provincial, municipal and city levels.

They have spent money they did not have or will ever hope to have and all because they thought they could get away with it.

Well they held a gun to their own heads as it turned out.

The greatest majority of tax money to run a country, province or a city comes from small busi-

nesses and teachers teach this to their classes every day.

We all know teachers are respected and admired for their good work in and out of the class room by those of us who pay their salary so I ask you — what is wrong with this picture?

Sincerely, Clarence Moore Williams Lake

Ilnicki gets U20 Canada experience Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake rugby player Jake Ilnicki hopes to continue to climb the Rugby Canada ladder.

Currently in his second full season of play at the University of Victoria as a member of the Vikings, the six-foot-one, 20-yearold prop was recently picked to play for the Canadian national team’s under-20 squad.

Last summer Ilnicki was in New Zealand playing for the College Rifles Rugby Football Club premiere team. “The team I was playing for over there, the College Rifles, we went undefeated all season,�

Ilnicki said of the experience playing overseas, noting the team won the Auckland city championship. “It was a lot of fun, and I made some good buddies and had just a great time.�

Ilnicki said the opportunity to play for Canada’s under 20 team came up, possibly, as a result of his play in New Zealand for the College Rifles. “I guess the coaches caught wind of me and another Canadian that were over there and found out where we were playing there,� he said. “It just shows a lot after we come back from a great season over there and just went through everything and were picked from that.�

Early March Canada took on Romania in Langford, B.C. for a two-game series — the team’s first real competition since beginning to play together.

They lost two to Romania — the first game by six points and the second, a 23-6 defeat. “It was really tough,� Ilnicki said of the matches. “There have been about 15 of us training out in Langford since January and for those two games they flew in nine other players and we all had to try to mesh together in a couple of days. “It might have been a good thing because we’ve been working really hard since those games.�

Coming up May 26 Canada’s U20 team takes on the U.S., followed by another match June 9 against Georgia. “That one [against the U.S.] will be a big one,� Ilnicki said. “After that, on June 18, we head down to Salt Lake City, Utah for the World Trophy Tournament.�

There, Canada will meet Zimbabwe, Japan and Georgia in its pool.

Following that, if they place high enough, Canada could have a shot at the Junior World Cup of Ruby. “That’s where we’d play all the top nations, which would definitely be very cool. This year it’s in South Africa, and then next year it’s going to be in France.�

Currently Ilnicki is finishing a year of school at UVIC with hopes of being accepted into the physical education program. Following that, he plans to travel once again to play rugby. “Hopefully I can just keep improving and hopefully an opportunity might arise overseas again,� he said. “My plans right now are to travel to South Africa and go play rugby there. “I have a few connections and I think we might go over there next year if nothing else comes up because there is some really good rugby over there.�

Stinson said the meet was extremely well run, and added he saw lots of great things from his gymnasts. “I loved this meet,�

Stinson said. “It was a new experience for me and it was one of the best meets I’ve been to.�

In level three men’s Bettles finished with third-place finishes on both pommel horse and parallel bars — a fifthplace overall result. Bettles, coming off his most recent competition at the B.C. Winter Games, said he felt better competing in Langley. “I think I did a bit bet-

ter this time than at the B.C. Games,� he said.

His teammate, Brinoni, competing in level two men’s, finished second in a field of just two athletes, despite competing with an injury.

For the women, especially at large meets, Stinson said the competition is fierce and the size of each gymnast’s divisions are large.

The youngest division, P1 Argo, saw Chloe, 10, and Thea, 8, compete.

Both are competing in their first full season of competitive gymnastics.

Daffodil pin is a symbol of hope April is Daffodil Month and April 27 is National Daffodil Day. Williams Lake is one of 24 communities in the Canadian Cancer Society’s B.C./ Yukon Northern Region to join the movement.

“We’ve all been touched by cancer. In fact, two in five Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and one in four will die,” says Carol Grosso, Canadian Cancer Society spokesperson. “That’s why we’re asking British Columbians to join the fight and wear the daffodil pin this April.”

The society is asking

all Canadians to join the fight and wear the daffodil pin, a bright and hopeful symbol of support for those affected by cancer and a remembrance of those lost to the disease.

The cancer society office in Williams Lake is located in the Seniors’ Activity Centre on Fourth Avenue.

On Daffodil Day, April 27, the society is also encouraging people to mark the day by doing something special for someone living with cancer or to contribute in some way to fight against the disease.

“It is important for

people who have been affected by cancer to know that they are not alone,” says Lorraine Grant, board chair of the Canadian Cancer Society B.C. and Yukon Division.

“There are numerous support services to help along the way, including information, accommodation, and peer support programs.”

Donations for every pin go toward support services including programs for individuals seeking cancer information, emotional support and camps for youth and families.

The society also pro-

vides transportation services and lodge accommodations along with limited, short-term financial assistance for treatment-related transportation and accommodation.

Volunteers and staff deliver cancer support programs, cancer prevention information, advocate for healthier communities and fundraise for cancer research.

In Williams Lake Grosso says the pins are available at the BC Liquor Store; Tim Hortons-Highway 97; Williams Lake Credit Union; CIBC; Real Canadian

Superstore; Kornak & Hamm; Shopper’s Drug Mart; Zellers Pharmacy; Excelsior Jewelers; Johnson Meiers; BC Forest Services; Senior’s Activity Center; Wal Mart Pharmacy; Canada Post; Marshall’s Store-150 Mile; TD Bank; CCS Williams Lake; Dollar Dollar; Curves; Gibraltar Mines; Royal Bank; and Cariboo Friendship Cente.

Africa, our main pool for doctors. We face more challenges due to climate such as road maintenance, higher expenses because of rural living (well pumps, water filters, more lighting needed because of longer nights, higher maintenance on transit); let’s face it, it isn’t a level playing field. And what is this ranking of 153 for pollution?

Were they here the year of the forest fire?

I could rant on, but it would only serve to make me feel worse. I feel strongly that MoneySense should stick to investments, they do well there, and maybe I’m just reacting because I hate criticism. As far as I’m concerned, after Horsefly, Williams Lake is number one.

Snow creates all sorts of employment, tourism, snowmobile sales, sporting good sales, road repairs, I mean come on people (MoneySense), where are your heads?

Williams Lake is penalized because unlike the cities where they have given up on reporting crime because no one ever comes anyway, we report our crime, and the police respond.

Even 45 years ago in Vancouver, unless a gun was involved, something like attempted rape took at least an hour to respond to. Forget break and entries.

Williams Lake is penalized because once their tax dollars are used to educate doctors these same people will not go to the Cariboo.

These categories were further adjusted to emphasize services and conditions for retirees, and include walk/bike to work, climate, and more of the same as has been mentioned.

The point is; this is a flawed system for any place but large cities in the south, basically along the U.S. border or within a few miles of it.

I’d like to see these folk riding their bikes with their frozen wheels to work in -20 Celsius.

Williams Lake is being penalized for having snow! (precipitation) This is a money maker!

MoneySense ranks Williams Lake in the bottom two.

This article caught my attention, and when I read it my back got up.

I watched the paper for some stern rebuttal from someone, but since none was forthcoming, I feel some defense must be made for Williams Lake.

I checked out MoneySense on Google, and it seems to be a reputable, intelligent magazine whose expertise is primarily in investment portfolios, and is based in Ottawa.

If you read their opening statement, you come away with a different focus.

It says: “While we can’t gauge many of the elements that people enjoy in their cities, the nearness of family, the

friendliness of neighbours or even great sunsets, we have measured what can be measured and compared what can be compared from towns and cities across our provinces and territories.”

These neighbours are some of the things I brag about, and give some idea why we (Williams Lake) shouldn’t be concerned about what MoneySense says.

I checked their criteria which includes employment, housing, income, discretionary income, taxes, transit, doctors, population, health pros, and amenities plus additional categories of child care spaces, population 14 and under, and percentage of students.

In addition to all this, they break it down to the following: population 14 and under, day-care spaces, student as a per cent age of population,

2012 Discovery Coast Music Festival takes shape Susan O’Neill Special to The Tribune The Discovery Coast Music Festival in Bella Coola is pleased to announce that we will be hosting a special group of Chadian musicians and dancers, H’Sao — meaning literally Saos’ Swallow.

The Saos being the ancestors of the people of Chad are now based in Montreal.

The four siblings and two childhood friends are a true “family” band.

Drawing from gospel, traditional African music, and their Chadian roots, H’Sao displays clear soul, pop, jazz, and R&B influences.

Elements of these influences are smoothly blended with African rhythms to create fresh songs in a unique style, punctuated with mes-

merizing African dance numbers.

Their masterful a capella singing sets them further apart on the world music stage.

The result is a unique and uncompromisingly contemporary sound.

The singers’ energy is palpable and their joie de vivre, irresistibly contagious.

H’Sao has filled concert halls in the four corners of the world — including France, Sweden, Haiti, Colombia, South Africa, and Australia — and was invited to perform a much-remarked concert in honour of Queen Elizabeth II during her last visit to Canada on July 1, 2010.

We are thrilled to present them to you on the weekend of July 20-22 at the Discovery Coast Music Festival in Bella Coola.

Domestic Violence Workshop With Kamal Dhillon Photo submitted

The focus of the workshop is awareness and prevention of domestic violence.

Who Should Plan To Attend

A group of musicians and dancers from Chad called H’Sao will be among the headline performers coming to the Discovery Coast Music Festival in Bella Coola this summer.

Workshop prepares parents for the sex talk According to a 2008 study by the McCreary Centre Society, 22 per cent of B.C. youth reported being sexually active, says Carmen Mutschele, a social work student at Thompson Rivers University.

Given those statistics, Mutschele is working on a practicum with Sally Errey, prevention worker at the Boys and Girls Club to host a free workshop for parents on how to talk to their children about sex.

On Saturday, April 28, she says the Boys and Girls Club will host a free community education workshop titled: “Are you a Prepared Parent? Have you had the talk yet?”

The workshop will be led by Patti Murphy a local outreach nurse and sexual health educator.

The aim of the workshop is to encourage parents to be ask-able adults and provide them with the resources required to do so, Mutschele says.

Topics covered will include: being an askable parent, building healthy relationships, what is age-appropriate discussion, negotiation, healthy decision-making, creating dialogue with teens, and current information on sexually

transmitted infections (STI’s.)

The forum takes place Saturday, April 28 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. in room 1254 at Thompson Rivers University on Western Avenue.

No registration is required. Refreshments will be provided.

According to the McCreary Centre Society, survey in 2008 among the 22 per cent of B.C. youth reporting to be sexually active, seven per cent had been involved in at least one pregnancy.

The pregnancy statistic rose to eight per cent

among youth located in the Thompson Cariboo Shuswap region.

Among youth who are sexually active in B.C., most start at age 15.

“This is a great opportunity to encourage parents and care givers to learn more about the Cariboo’s high rate of

Service providers, social workers, nurses, teachers, school administrators, doctors, church leaders, counselors, RCMP and interested citizens

STI’s, harm reduction principles and start a dialogue on where, when and how safe sex-education can happen in our community,” Mutschele says.

For more information phone Sally Errey, Prevention Worker, at 250392-5730.
